Chapter 50 Fine work and black shop
"Do you think about it here? It's dark and the city gates outside are closed. There are at least six or seven hundred Ming dogs in the military office next to us. How can we get out just this little man?" Shuose said.
A detailed writer pointed at Fan Wencheng and the Han people in the Later Jin Dynasty and said: "If these Han dogs were not in the way, I wouldn't take such a clear dog in the military fort seriously."
When Fan Wencheng heard the Jianzhou Jurchens call him a Han Gou, he greeted all the eighteen generations of the Jurchen women in his heart, but he was calm on the surface. After all, with this shameless kung fu, he was already perfect. He defected to the Later Jin Dynasty and was insulted by the Later Jin Warriors, and he could endure it. To be a traitor, one must have the awareness of being a traitor. It is certain that he is inferior to others. After becoming Ergouzi, he still wants to be on an equal footing with Taijun Dajin?
Shuose looked stern: "Shopkeeper Cheng is the person he trusts the most. You should use your brain more when doing things. Shopkeeper Cheng is much more intelligent than you! We will come out this time and everything will be arranged by Shopkeeper Cheng!"
Because this town is on the edge of the military fort, the Later Jin Seizuo did not take action.
The next morning, Gao Shixin, Huang Degong and his group left the inn and continued to embark on the road back to Beijing. They walked all the way until dark and entered a small town beside the military fort to rest. After dawn, the group set off again. After five days, they walked eighty miles a day and were almost at Jinzhou.
Fan Wencheng and his team followed him for five days and five nights, and finally found an opportunity on the fifth night.
This place has penetrated deep into the Han area. Because there are many military households around it, the town here is no longer built on military households, but is isolated on the Liaohe Plain.
In fact, these military households that guard western Liaoning were already a decoration. The Ming Dynasty's military household system had long been corrupt. In fact, military households had become peasants, and hereditary officers became landlords. The combat effectiveness of military households was almost ineffective. The military household system of more than two hundred years of Ming Dynasty became a borer by the end of the Ming Dynasty. Hereditary officers, like civil servants and gentry who did not pay taxes, exploited the fruits of the poor military households but did not have to pay taxes to the court.
The vassal kings, civil servants, gentry and military households in the late Ming Dynasty became three vampires who absorbed the blood of the Ming Dynasty. They inserted the straw into the weak body of the Ming Dynasty and greedily absorbed the blood of the Ming Dynasty until the Ming Dynasty fell down with a bang.
When Gao Shixin and his friends moved into this inn, Fan Wencheng and the others were overjoyed: After following them for five days and five nights, their hard work pays off. A great opportunity has finally come!
Fan Wencheng and others also moved into this small inn.
Gao Shixin and the others asked for two rooms. He lived in one room with the coachman, and Huang Degong and his mother lived in another room. The waiter took all six horses to the stable, and according to Gao Shixin's instructions, he fed the horses for the fodder.
But before the waiter finished his work, someone shouted again: "Waiter, bring our horses over to feed them!"
The waiter turned his head and saw two burly men who looked like caravan guards leading more than ten horses to the stable. In the small yard surrounded by wooden fences, there were two trucks and a bus parked, which seemed to be the caravan's vehicles.
"Here you come!" The waiter responded quickly, walked forward, and led the horse into the stable.
The horse was fed, and it was completely dark. The waiter walked into the shopkeeper's house and knocked on the door.
"Come in." The shopkeeper's voice came from inside.
The waiter walked into the house and said to the shopkeeper softly: "Shopkeeper, there are two groups of customers coming today. The two who came first looked extraordinary. The package he carried with him was full of bulging, and there must be a lot of gold and silver inside. The two men, one by one, two horses, and also packed a carriage with an old lady in it. The group of customers coming behind had more than ten, and they looked like a caravan of a merchant. These two groups of customers were all fat sheep."
The shopkeeper said, "The two people who came earlier knew they were soldiers at first glance, and the person in charge was still a commander. Do you want to attack the officers and soldiers? That is a rebellion for the killing officers! Look at the group of people coming behind, they have murderous aura, and they are not kind to the persons!"
"No matter what he is not good at coming, we made some sweat medicine in the wine and food, covered them all, slaughtered them with another knife, and took the body to find a place to bury them, and the officers and soldiers could find us? These two groups of guests were fat sheep, and there was no need to mention the caravan, but the two soldiers also had a lot of money. The shopkeeper, after we did this, we burned this small inn and we could escape to North Korea. How could the officers and soldiers find us?" The waiter said.
It turns out that this store is actually a black store, and this place is the only way for the caravans in the past. This store is dedicated to informing nearby horse thieves. The horse thieves robbed their property and distributed it to the store. However, the owner of this store often does some private work alone. If some people have some money and there are not many people, the owner of the store will do it alone, fascinating people with sweating drugs, kill them, and take away money, which is a typical case of murder.
There are constant wars here in Liaodong. Han horse thieves, Mongols who came to fight the autumn wind, and the recently rising Jianzhou Jurchens, all kinds of forces crisscrossed. A few people were inexplicably missing, but no one cared about it anyway.
Why are there no other customers in the store except Gao Shixin and Fan Wencheng? In fact, there were spies outside the black store observing and found that these two groups of customers were going through this place. The black store was ready early and did not allow other customers to check in. They just waited for the arrival of these two batches of fat sheep to slaughter the sheep.
The shopkeeper thought for a long time and finally made up his mind to take action.
After Gao Shixin walked into the inn, he carefully observed the surroundings. He found that the inn was very strange. The inn was not small. Although they were all bungalows, there were dozens of rooms. However, except for himself and the group of merchants who came in behind, no guests lived in it.
After walking all day, Gao Shixin felt hungry and roaring, so he asked the shopkeeper what to eat.
The shopkeeper said: "This military official, Caomin is a poor and remote mountain, and there is nothing good to eat. If you want to eat delicacies, Caomin does not have it here. There are only mackerels, small yellow croakers in the nearby sea, vegetables grown by nearby villagers, and chickens raised by the best ones are the shiitake mushrooms in the mountains of Liaodong, etc."
Gao Shixin smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, how do you know that I am a soldier?"
The shopkeeper said: "Caomin has been here for more than 20 years. What kind of person hasn't seen before? When you see Jun Ye, you have a murderous aura. You must be a soldier. You are generous and you must be a soldier."
"Not bad, very attractive. Let's do it, come up with any delicious food." said Gao Shixin.
"Don't forget to drink!" Huang Degong poked his head out of the room and shouted.
While talking here, the people over there also shouted: "Shopkeeper, what are you good at eating and drinking? I'm starving to death!"
"Here you come!" The shopkeeper hurried over.
Gao Shixin returned to the room and called Huang Degong and his mother to his room: "Brother, you and the old man should have dinner together here, it's so lively. When the food comes, you will come to my room, and you and my brothers have a few drinks."
Since it was Gao Shixin's request, the young follower Huang Degong naturally agreed immediately.
By the time the wine and food were served, it was already dark.
There were a lot of dishes, and the dining table was full of delicious dishes such as stewed chicken with mushrooms, grilled mackerel, stewed meat with wood, stewed meat with stewed bones, steamed small yellow croaker, and white shrimp. The food fingers were so yellow that I couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and eat.
In the room not far from next door, the wine and food were served. Fan Wencheng Heshuo looked hungry long ago, and the wind swept away the whole table of food.
Shortly after dinner, the Queen Jin Xizu felt weak all over and returned to their own room and fell asleep. The solemn color fell on the kang and soon slept like a dead pig, with the sound of snoring.
Fan Wencheng picked up a book called "Spring and Autumn" and read it at night. But after a while, he looked at it and threw the book aside. The candle did not blow out and fell asleep on the table.
A sneaky figure appeared in the corridor. When passing the room where Fan Wencheng and their stayed, the figure stopped, put his fingers in his mouth and drank a little saliva. He gently touched the window paper. A hole appeared on the window paper. The guy sneaked his eyes close to the small hole. Looking inside, Fan Wencheng fell asleep on the table, making a uniform breathing sound; the other person was lying on the kang, and the snoring sound was shocking.
When he walked past Gao Shixin's room again, the man was the same and poked a small hole in the window paper. He saw the man who looked like a leader in the inner part sitting on the kang and falling asleep. The other two were lying horizontally on the kang, making a loud snoring sound.
The man immediately returned to the shopkeeper's house to report: "The shopkeeper has a lot of ideas, and you can do it."
"Do it!" said the shopkeeper.
Chapter completed!
