Chapter 185: The Tiger Enters the Village
Mu Gen also said beside him: "Yes, looking at the appearance of the second senior brother, he would like to be able to exchange with you, but unfortunately, Manager Liang didn't take a fancy to him!" ”
Tan Zhengwen blushed and thought, "I have a face that is so obvious, I am still very reserved!" He hurriedly said: "No, no, my surname is Tan no longer like words, but I won't do that kind of thing, I'd rather die than be a little white face!" ”
Yang Ze said: "Come on, you, you just have to hold up a sign and shout that you want to enter the palace!" ”
Fu Bingrong hurriedly said: "Master, don't talk about the second junior brother, let's talk about me, what should the apprentice do, how can I not enter the palace, do you want me to pretend to be sick again?" Well, if I really get sick, I'll jump into the well, and then I can really get typhoid fever, and the well water will be cold! As he spoke, he ran into the yard!
"You don't have to throw yourself into the well, you still have to drink the water in the well, what's the matter if you jump in, it's easy to jump down, but it's hard for you to climb up!" Yang Ze airway.
grabbed Fu Bingrong, Yang Ze said again: "That's it, haven't I been demoted out of Beijing, let's not wait for ten days to leave, let's pack up our things today, let's leave quickly, as long as I get out of Beijing, I don't believe that Liang Dazhong can still chase him out!" ”
"Yes, yes, let's hurry out of Beijing, and follow the master to the death, wherever you go, you will go wherever you go!" Fu Bingrong immediately expressed his loyalty.
Yang Ze sighed, the holy decree said that he should leave Beijing in ten days, in fact, it was to let him wait before leaving, isn't the Qujiangchi banquet about to start, Empress Dugu wants him to participate in it, see if the excitement is secondary, the main thing is that there will be a program of prisoners at the banquet, and the sudden little Khan Wang Tiehuali was caught by him, and he was not present as a party, and it was a bit unreasonable, which would make people feel that the empress was too unkind to him!
But now in this situation, Fu Bingrong was targeted by the eunuchs and never left. But it's really in trouble, what kind of banquet is not a banquet, forget it!
Yang Ze felt very pity, but no matter how sorry it was, for the sake of his apprentice, he also had to go. He asked the three apprentices to pack up their things, and he himself went out of the Yan Mansion and rushed to the Ministry of Officials to go through the formalities, he was going to the northwest to be the county commander, and the formalities must be done. You have to get the official document, otherwise when you get to the northwest, there is no official document to tell you, and the locals will not recognize him as a county order!
Quickly ran to the ministry, Yang Ze threw out a bag of golden melon seeds, and the efficiency of the ministry's work immediately increased, but in an hour, the formalities were completed, and Yang Ze got the official document. Immediately rushed back to Yanfu, it was not dark at this time, as long as there was no delay, it was estimated that he would be able to get out of the city today.
When I returned to the Yan Mansion. I saw that several carts had been loaded in the courtyard, and the three apprentices were ready, and Yan Chenghou was also ready, with a group of family members. Just like when he followed Yang Ze into Beijing.
Yang Zeqi said: "Xiao Yan, do you want to go with me too?" I was demoted to the northwest, but I was not promoted to Beijing. If you go with me, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, but your grandfather didn't want you to follow me to the northwest to eat sand! ”
Yan Chenghou said: "Lord Yang, it's not that I want to follow you to the northwest, but I want to go to the northwest to do some business, let's go together, just by the way!" ”
Yang Ze looked at Yan Chenghou, and for a while, he stretched out his hand and patted Yan Chenghou, and said: "You are really an honest and honest person, this friendship, I Yang remember, we will be brothers in the future!" ”
No matter how much you say, no matter how good it sounds, it is better to make it, Yang Ze is very grateful to Yan Chenghou In this case, he will not give up, and he will follow himself, in fact, others are also moved.
Fu Bingrong thought to himself: "Master did not hesitate to offend the eunuchs in the palace for me, so he took us to escape from the capital in such a hurry, and following Master is really the most correct choice in my life." ”
Tan Zhengwen and Mu Gen also thought about it, and they both thought that it was right to follow Yang Ze, Yang Ze could deal with Bingrong today and it was interesting enough, and if they were in trouble on another day, Yang Ze would naturally be interesting enough to them.
Yang Ze glanced at the cart and said, "Everything is packed up?" Don't leave anything behind! ”
Yan Cheng said: "We haven't been in Beijing for a long time, and we haven't bought too many things, or those when we entered Beijing." However, during these days, our chefs have learned a lot of recipes in the capital and can cook Beijing cuisine. ”
Fu Bingrong sighed and said, "What's the use of talking about this at this time, let's hurry up and get on the road, don't wait for it to get dark, you won't be able to get out of the city gate." ”
Tan Zhengwen said with a smile: "Confused, the city gate on Vermilion Bird Street is not closed at night, let's just go to Vermilion Bird Street." ”
Yang Ze also said: "Leave early, so as not to stay here and be afraid, maybe someone will come to the palace again!" ”
Yang Ze did not stay in Yanfu, took his subordinates, drove the cart, and immediately walked outside the city, but they did not take Suzaku Street, if it was late and the other city gates were closed, they would go to Suzaku Street, and now it was still early, and it was not time to close the city gate, so they could still go.
Hurried all the way, out of the west gate, the convoy has been out of more than 20 miles, only then dare to stop and rest, afraid that Liang Dazhong will send people to chase, they dare not enter the village and town, but rest in a wood, simply eat some dry food.
At this time, it was already dark, Yang Ze looked up at the moon, and said, "Let's not look for a place to stay tonight, let's hurry overnight, get out of the Gyeonggi area early, and be safe early." ”
Fu Bingrong was the most approveful, he was deeply afraid that Liang Dazhong's dead eunuch would catch up, so he immediately agreed, ran to urge the servants to get up, and drove the cart again.
Fortunately, the Gyeonggi area was safe, and there were no thieves in the middle of the night, so the road was smooth.
By the time dawn came, he had driven out more than 40 miles, plus the previous 20 miles, and had left Chang'an City for nearly 70 miles, which could be regarded as leaving Gyeonggi.
Hurrying away, everyone was very tired, there was a town in front, Yang Ze asked everyone to go into the town to rest, it is estimated that after driving out so many miles, even if Liang Dazhong sent people, he couldn't catch up with them.
After eating in the town and sleeping until noon, he hurried again, and drove out more than 30 miles in one breath, and at this time it was more than 100 miles away from Chang'an City.
However, 100 miles away from the capital, there are many fewer prefectures and counties, and the peripheral areas are not as prosperous as Gyeonggi after all, and there are fewer villages. They went to stay in the village.
Unfortunately, it rained and snowed that night, and at first the hail fell, and after the hail, a light rain and snowflakes fell from the sky, and it was unusually cold outside.
Yang Ze was in the hotel, looking out the window, and thought: "This rain and snow, although it is uncomfortably cold, it is also safe." This kind of weather is uncomfortable for us, even if someone comes to chase it, wouldn't the person chasing it be even more uncomfortable. ”
Tan Zhengwen came in from outside tremblingly, and said, "Master, this day is really evil, it was a good day, but suddenly there was rain and snow, and it was so cold outside that it was almost catching up with our Guazhou!" ”
Mugen also came in from outside. Stomping his feet and said: "It's cooler than Guazhou, it's damp and wet, and it's very uncomfortable." ”
Yang Ze stepped away from the window and sat down on a chair. He asked, "Where did you go, brother?" ”
Mugen said: "Senior brother went to explore the way, he was so anxious that he couldn't say that he couldn't even travel a hundred miles." In this kind of weather, I have to explore the road, and I will have to catch up early tomorrow morning, I don't think it's really necessary! ”
Tan Zhengwen also smiled: "Yes." In this kind of weather, how can anyone chase after me, I think the senior brother is frightened by the eunuchs in the palace! ”
Yang Ze hummed and said, "You go out to see, is there a pharmacy in the village, let's hurry up, and suddenly encounter this kind of weather, I'm afraid that someone will get sick, you go to the pharmacy to have a look, prepare some medicinal materials, let's take them with us, in case of emergency." With that, he wrote a few flavors of medicine on a piece of paper and asked the two of them to buy them.
Yang Ze sat at the table, thinking about his departure from Beijing, he should tell his parents, otherwise his parents would still think that he was in Beijing! He wrote a letter, but the letter did not say that he was demoted, but said that he was reused by the empress, and he was going to the northwest as a county magistrate, to take care of the former prince, this is the empress's trust in himself, so let his parents not worry, and left an address, if his parents have something, he can send someone to the northwest to find him.
After the letter was written, he called a servant of the Yan family and asked the servant to send the letter to Chang'an first, and then the left-behind servant of the Yan family in Chang'an to send it to his parents.
After the matter was done, he was about to go to bed and lie down for a while, but Fu Bingrong came back, and saw that Fu Bingrong's face was blue from the cold, his body was full of snow and water, and the wolf was unbearable.
Yang Zeqi said: "In this kind of weather, you still have to go to explore the road, but you don't have to worry, if the weather is still so bad, let's rest for a day or two, and Liang Dazhong will not chase here." ”
Fu Bingrong said: "It's better to leave early, the farther away from the capital, the better, and there will be time to rest in the future." He sneezed and said, "Master, there is a hill to the west, and the road on the mountain is not easy to walk, and I heard that even if the weather is good and the road is dry, you will have to walk for a day to cross this hill!" ”
Yang Ze hummed and said, "What a big hill, what's the name?" He pulled out the map and wanted to see where he had gone.
Fu Bingrong's face was a little hesitant, and he was silent for a moment, and then said: "Master, I heard that there are tigers on this hill, and they are man-eating tigers, which have killed dozens of people, so if you want to cross this hill, you have to find someone to accompany you. ”
Yang Ze raised his head and said, "There are tigers on the hill, this is not Jingyanggang, right?" ”
Could it be that this is the place where Wu Song fights tigers, but the inn where he lives does not sell any good wine that is not good for three bowls!
Fu Bingrong shook his head and said: "It's not called Jingyang Gang, it's called Taiping Gang, it used to be too peaceful here, but I don't know where two tigers came from nowhere, and they occupied this Taiping Gang, and it has not been peaceful since then. ”
Yang Ze sighed and said: "With a tiger, it will not be peaceful, I really don't know how this magistrate is a magistrate, when he was a year younger, he still hasn't destroyed the tiger." ”
This night, everyone stayed in the village for the night, and when it was dawn the next day, the rain and snow turned into heavy snow, and it kept falling, and it didn't seem to stop at all, as if the harsh winter had come overnight!
Yang Ze couldn't, so he had to ask everyone to wait for another day, and he had to wait for the snow to stop before he could hurry.
But this night, when Yang Ze was asleep, he suddenly heard someone shouting outside, and after a while, someone was beating the gong, and the sound of people was boiling, and it seemed that the whole village was up!
Yang Ze got up and put on his clothes, opened the window, and shouted, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
Fu Bingrong ran into the courtyard with a big knife in his hand and shouted: "Master, the big thing is not good, the tiger has entered the village, someone saw it just now!" ”
Yang Ze was taken aback, the tiger on Taipinggang was really not afraid of people, and he dared to enter the village! (To be continued......)
