Cao Yongchang's legs were split apart, and his elbow poked on the soil, causing him to wink in pain.
Li Yan sat on the side, and the pickaxe in his hand touched his knee sockets, thighs, and ankles from time to time.
"Walk the hips but not the legs, loosen the shoulders but not the waist. Long tendons lead to great strength. This is a boy's skill. As the saying goes, break through the iron cage to escape the tiger and leopard, and break the golden lock to escape the dragon."
Cao Yongchang looked up: "This is the Three Kingdoms"
"Shut up, practice."
Li Yan tapped him again.
"Master Zhenfu? Master Zhenfu?"
At the gate, Catcher Zhang came early in the morning to explain to Li Yan about the sailors that Qianhu wanted.
"Practice by yourself."
Li Yan stood up and walked to the door: "Catcher Zhang has a heart, he came too early."
"Working for the imperial court." Zhang Butou apologized and said with a smile: "I sent someone yesterday, and the Jiaozhou Thousand Households Office replied that they could send someone only if there was a dispatch document from the superior Yingwei, and it has been reported. , it will take four or five days to go back and forth."
Li Yan laughed and said: "I just asked them to borrow a few sailors, but they used Shangfeng as an excuse. Let alone four or five days, I don't think it will arrive in ten and a half months."
"Well, the humble job is just an errand, this kind of fact really can't be decided, or"
Zhang Butou rolled his eyes and said, "The county government will send a few folks who are skilled in sailing boats. Most likely there will be no problem."
"I'm afraid it's hard to find a civilian husband who can carry a boat all the way to the waterways of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he doesn't have the same training as the imperial navy, so he may still be a drag."
After finishing speaking, Li Yan stared at him: "Furthermore, people don't eat rice from the imperial court, and the emperor's order is on a mission, so how come the officers and soldiers who receive salaries are left aside?"
Without waiting for Zhang Butou to reply, Li Yan said again: "Let me figure out a solution for this matter. Zhang Butou just takes care of his business and doesn't care about you."
"Um, Lord Zhenfu."
Li Yan was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Butou.
"Humble post, there is one more thing I want to ask."
"oh?"
Li Yan jokingly said: "I still wonder that Catcher Zhang is so considerate, and he has to get up so early to deliver a message, so let's talk about it."
"This, this." Catcher Zhang rubbed his hands together: "Chai Jianzheng of Yibang Tea Horse Division, my lord, let's get to know each other."
"I just dealt with you." Li Yan narrowed his eyes: "Why, did he sue your county government?"
"No, no." Catcher Zhang waved his hands again and again: "It's Chai Jian who said that there was a little misunderstanding with Mr. Zhen Fu, and I wanted to ask the county government to entrust you with a letter, inviting you to have a banquet in Huixian Building, and give it to you in person. You apologize, this is an invitation."
He went to take out his sleeves, but Li Yan stopped him: "Just tell him, I'm busy with work and don't have time."
Zhang Butou's expression suddenly became bitter: "Master Zhen Fu, if you don't agree, it will be difficult for us, the head of the office, look at this"
"Okay, it's not hard for you, bring the invitation, when?"
"Two days later."
Zhang Butou handed the bronzing invitation to Li Yan.
"The governor of the town, I have no other orders. I will leave first. If there is anything I need, just send someone to the county government. I will never refuse."
Li Yan nodded, watched Zhang Butou leave, turned around and entered the yard.
Zha Xiaodao sat on the threshold, and he saw everything that happened just now.
"This Chai Xuan thief is not dead?"
Li Yan sneered and said: "He wants to make trouble for me, and the best way is to wipe his neck in front of me, splashing blood all over me, so I can't explain why."
This is of course a joke. But Chai Xuan's errand was here, even if he was from the palace, Li Yan didn't take him too seriously.
Zha Xiaodao sighed: "It's time for us to leave. Since we arrived in Jiaozhou, there are no demons to entangle, and life is not salty at all. Where are the ghosts and ghosts in Shandong?"
Li Yan sat down, took a sip of cold water, and then asked Zha Xiaodao: "Did you read the mansion newspaper that arrived yesterday afternoon?"
"The one in your bookcase? No."
"The Di Bao said that Zhao Jinwu and his party who escorted the dragon and tiger flags in the capital were thrown into a barren ditch, and the flags were also taken away. Thousands of households in the governor's office in Zhejiang took up the flags and went to Jiangxi. When the post station on the road was feeding the horses with fodder, the flags on the body disappeared, and the government tore down the post station but couldn't find it, and the decree of punishing crimes was already on the way."
After a pause, Li Yan said again: "NanIn some provinces, it is time to arrive at Longhu Mountain, but none of the 108 flags has been returned to Tianshidao. Tell me, what does this mean? "
"Either the celestial masters lost their heads and let the emperor make an order to return the dragon and tiger flags and return to the mountain, or they have other plans."
"Don't think so deeply, what I want to say is that most of the so-called capable soldiers and generals in the imperial court have no ability to resist evil spirits and heretics. They can't protect the flag."
Li Yan pointed to himself: "Even the monk who crossed the sea knew that we were responsible for the incident of the five immortals making trouble in the Bohai Sea. It is impossible for those demons and ghosts not to know about it. The persimmons must be soft, and the dragon and tiger flags are spread all over the two capitals and thirteen provinces." , There are delicious pastries everywhere, and no one wants to knock on the Liaodong flag, which is our hard bone."
Zha Xiaodao yawned, tears were about to flow out: "So it's no luck?"
"Not necessarily, we can't see the secret of the dragon and tiger flag. But what Li Zongbing meant, this flag is an oil lamp, and all the heresies in the world caused by dragon and tiger are like moths, and they will always gather together involuntarily. Come here. Moreover, the closer you are, the more attractive the flag is. We live in the government office. If this is a black shop that slaughters people and eats meat, there may be many "lucky heads" coming to the door. Straighten up!"
Li Yan's last sentence was about Cao Yongchang who was opening his hips.
He looked at Zha Xiaodao: "This afternoon, I want to go to my little brother's house. If there is nothing else, I will go to Qianhu Office in person to ask for staff early tomorrow morning."
"At this price, if you like it or not, if you don't sell it, go to the pharmacy opposite."
The pharmacy clerk had a cold face, and said to a man in coarse cloth with muddy legs opposite him.
"This, this, everything"
This man is about thirty years old, his eyes are dull, his mouth is crooked, his eyes are slanted, and he still stutters a little, but he can still see the panic in his expression.
"Everything, everything, I'll tell you the truth, the last time I took your medicine and let the customers see it, the customer returned the medicine on the spot, saying that people like you don't take the medicine picked by a fool. Tell me, we won't accept your medicine in the future. I just bought you at half of the par price because I saw you as poor. I beg you, please, if you don't sell it, go away quickly. Whoever opens the door will not do business. .¡±
The clerk glanced out of the corner of his eyes, and a coquettish young lady came in, and the clerk rushed to greet her.
"Hey, Mrs. Rhinoceros, is this medicine for your husband?"
"Um."
Mrs. Hu hummed lightly, and raised her finger coated with Impatiens flower juice: "Find this prescription for me."
As she spoke, she took a piece of silver and put it on the cabinet, and out of the corner of her eyes, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the man who left in a daze.
"Who is this?"
Hu asked casually.
"Hi, Jia Liu from Shiqiaohe."
The man grabbed the medicine and packed it, and poked himself on the head at Mrs. Hu: "I'm a fool, born with a defect, I was educated when I was a child, and after so many years, I have not been a scholar. Conscience, insisted on separating the family, confiscated all the valuables and fields, and Lizheng stepped forward to leave him a house. Who would have thought that Jia Liu kicked over the stove in the middle of the night, and the house would be completely burned , I don¡¯t know where I¡¯ve been in these years, and I don¡¯t make a living by selling some herbs.¡±
"It's a poor man~ God doesn't give people a way out."
Hu sighed, picked up the medicine and was about to leave, then raised his head again: "Didn't he take my medicine?"
"How can it be, otherwise, wouldn't this be scolding you? No, no."
"That's good, I don't want to be in bad luck."
Mrs. Hu muttered, and walked away gracefully.
When she returned to Wang's house with her purse in hand, Wang Sheng braced herself, but the Yamen was closed, and the Queen Mother was nowhere to be found.
Only Cai Azi, who was holding the child in his arms, was in the room. As soon as Mrs. Hu entered, the two looked at each other. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
