Chapter 103: Shops, Lamb's Head and Trading
Shenzhou has become a large army camp.
The soldiers and horses from Zhaozhou, Yizhou and Zhenzhou were gathering here continuously, and the barracks began to stand outside the city of Shenzhou. Armored soldiers, government soldiers, and civilians could be seen everywhere. Countless armored wars and food and grass were transported into the city, and the atmosphere of war was already extremely deep.
With the arrival of Jiedu Li Anguo, Zhaozhou Governor Li Anmin, and Yizhou Governor Cao Xin, the final assembly had been completed under Chengde's rule.
In Shenzhou City, Bao Hui, as an escort officer, walked into an inconspicuous small restaurant and walked straight to a table in the corner of the inner corner. On that table, a young man was already sitting there. Seeing Bao Hui, he stood up with a smile, reached out and made a gesture of inviting him.
Bao Hui took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the surprise in her heart, walked over, and sat opposite the young man.
"Brother Bao, I ordered half a sheep head, a portion of sheep scorpion, a plate of fried peas, a bowl of three fresh soup, and a pot of wine. What else do you want to order?" The young man smiled and placed a pair of chopsticks in front of Bao Hui, then placed a wine glass for him, poured the wine.
"Hu Shier, you are so brave, you dare to appear here? How did you come into the city?" Bao Hui swallowed and lowered her voice.
Hu Shier smiled and his voice was a little loud, which immediately attracted the attention of other people in the store. Fortunately, the other people in the store were quite loud, most of them were officials or some officers with status. Everyone looked at the two of them. From the outfit, it can be seen that these two were from Yizhou. Now, there are more out-of-town people in Shenzhou than locals.
"Worry, are you still afraid that others will not pay attention to you?" Bao Hui said angrily.
Hu Shier picked up the cup and raised it at Bao Hui: "Brother Bao, what are I afraid of? I am not a traitor and bad guy. I am a good citizen under the rule of Duke Li Jie, and a subordinate of the young master. What are you afraid of?"
"You are pretending to be confused when you understand. Just five words from the subordinates of you, the young master, are enough to make you doom. Don't you know whose territory is Shenzhou?" Bao Hui was a little anxious, "I don't object to you if you want to die, but don't implicate me! The city is under extremely strict investigation now, and ordinary people can't enter the city at all. How did you get in?"
"Brother Bao, don't worry, I didn't climb the city wall or drill a dog hole, I came in through the gate in a noble way." Hu Shier took out a waist sign from his arms, shook it in front of Bao Hui, and then took it back.
Although it was just a glance, Bao Hui still saw clearly that it was a personal guard token from the Jiedu Mansion. At this time, he remembered that the guards under the young master were all from the Jiedu Mansion. Hu Shier was really a noble entry. The people from Shenzhou probably regarded the young man in front of him as one of the personal guards who arrived in Shenzhou with the Jiedu Mansion.
I felt relieved, raised my cup and took a sip, tore another piece of lamb-headed meat, dipped it in the vinegar dish in front of me, stuffed it into my mouth and chewed it.
"What are you doing when you come to me at this time? Now there are so many people in this place, so you are not afraid of revealing your identity?"
"Who recognizes me here!" Hu Shier smiled and took out a small bag from his arms and handed it to Bao Hui: "Young Master is very satisfied with the things you gave me some time ago. This is the reward for you."
After taking the bag, he opened a corner and took a look. Bao Hui quickly covered it up again, and there was a gold bar inside.
"Didn't you give me Wuyi's house deed and land deed?" he asked.
"Brother Bao, now you will give it to you, how dare you go back to get it? You are holding that thing now, just a piece of waste paper, is it affordable to have this thing?" Hu Shier chuckled and said, "You are not well-off in Zhenzhou, and your elder brother doesn't care much about you, otherwise you wouldn't have found such a hard and dangerous job. Sister-in-law and nephews, I'm afraid that even the meat is hard to eat now, right?"
Hearing this, Bao Hui felt sad, and tears almost spilled out of her eyes. She tried hard to hold it in and glanced at Hu Shier fiercely: "Isn't this thanks to your master? If it weren't for the family to be well-fed and well-dressed, could I come here?"
Hu Shier flattered his mouth: "Brother Bao, it seems like you have lived a very generous life before."
"No matter what, when I was in Wuyi, I always had no worries about food and clothing and had little savings." Bao Hui said with a hatred.
"Brother Bao, you have such a little success!" Hu Shier said disdainfully. "Do work for the young master well, and then return to Wuyi and put all the things that your elder brother had in your arms. That would be the glory."
"I don't know when your little master can live!" Bao Hui picked up a sheep scorpion and bit it hard, "I heard that after the eldest son returns to victory this time, he will go to deal with your little master."
"Who is right in this war?" Hu Shier said unconvincedly: "Maybe the eldest son is unlucky and dies when he goes to the battlefield. At that time, the young son turned over and became the master of the house, don't you?"
Bao Hui shivered and looked at Hu Shier and said in fear: "What do you want to do? I don't dare to implicate me. I am just a small escort officer."
Hu Shier almost choked out with a sip of wine, coughed a few times, and his face turned red: "What are you thinking about? Do you think I'm here to be the eldest son? You don't think about it, is this possible? I haven't seen what the eldest son looks like yet, and it has been chopped into several pieces long ago!"
"Then what are you doing in Shenzhou?" Bao Hui was still a little worried.
"It's nothing, it's just that the young master heard that there is a war here and wanted to listen to the fun, so he asked me to come here to see it. When I go back, I'll give him a good talk." Hu Shier said with a smile.
Bao Hui didn't believe this. In the Wuyi Zhengfang, he saw how fierce and evil the young man who was smiling now was.
"Speak straight on what you want me to do." Bao Hui said: "Don't turn around. If you can, I will do it. If you can't, I can't do it. Although I want the land deed of the house very much, I have to have a life."
"A small matter. I want to buy a small courtyard or a small shop in Shenzhou." Hu Shier said: "I have to have a place to stay when I come here! It's not OK to live in an inn. Now I check a few things a day."
"Don't you have a badge of Jiedu Mansion?" Bao Hui just said this and reacted. He held the badge of Jiedu Mansion's personal guard in his arms, but he was not in front of the Jiedu Mansion and lived in an inn, afraid that he would summon him to investigate immediately. Hu Shier could not stand the check, so it was almost the same to fool some of the guards at the gate.
Hu Shier looked at Bao Hui who suddenly stopped talking and gave him a thumbs up, "Did you figure it out? By the same token, I can't buy things with this identity, you're different. Your identity is open and you won't be suspicious. Now, aren't there many people running to Zhenzhou in Shenzhou? There are empty houses, shops, and the prices are even more favorable. If you miss this village, there are no such store."
Hu Shier took out a small bag and handed it over: "This is the cost. If you buy it cheaply, the rest will be yours. Brother Bao, you will stay in Shenzhou until the end of the war. I am about the same. We just happened to be a companion. After buying a house or a shop, you come to me when you are fine, let's have a drink, tea, and chat."
Bao Hui didn't believe in the words of the young man in front of him. He said ten words, but he was afraid that nine of them were fake, but one thing was clear, that was, the young master had already reached his hand to Shenzhou, and took advantage of the soldiers in front of him to scramble to monitor the eldest master. There was no doubt about this.
I was stuck with this dog skin plaster on my body, and I was afraid I couldn't take it off for a while. After thinking about it, I finally took the cloth bag with ruthlessness. Now I am almost like a dog. What do I do if I do so much, I will make money in front of me first.
"After buying a house or shop, Brother Bao will know where I live. If you have any important things in the future, you can go to me to sit there. I heard that your elder brother has also gone to the army this time, so there will definitely be a lot of news, right?"
Bao Hui took a breath of cold air: "You know this too?"
"What do you don't know? Isn't this your elder brother strongly demanding to lead troops to the war? He was originally a county magistrate, and he was probably hated our young master, so he wanted to take advantage of this expedition to take the line of the eldest son, hold the eldest son's thigh so well that he went to trouble us? Speaking of which, Brother Bao, you are better than you. You can't compare with the spirit of burning the boat just by doing things. How can you do it thoroughly? If you want to do it, you will do it thoroughly." Hu Shier chewed the mutton head meat and said vaguely.
Bao Hui snorted, raised her neck and drank the wine in the cup, stood up, and grabbed a handful of sheep and scorpions. "Where will you find when you have bought it?"
"I'll be here tomorrow. I can still deal with it one night." Hu Shier said with a smile.
Bao Hui turned around and left.
Looking at Bao Hui's back, Hu Shier's smile slowly calmed down, tearing the mutton and drinking, muttering, "Is this wine? It's like a sausage."
Although he complained, Hu Shier still slurped the mutton head meat cleanly, drank no drops of wine like sauerkraut, and drank the three fresh soup cleanly. The plate of peas that he didn't eat much was put into his pocket, and then he stood up and left swayed. The waiter who came to clean the table was stunned. He had never seen such a clean customer after opening the store for so long.
Who made Hu Shier also beggar? Waste is the most shameful thing.
