    In the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, the eighth day of the first lunar month.  As the beginning of a new year, the entire Liu family has been organized by Liu Wenyang, and he is about to bid farewell to his father Liu Da and this Taohua Town that he has just become familiar with. He will take the book boy Mingyue to Poyang County to open up his own new world.  .  Before leaving, my father gave me many warnings, saying that I should take good care of myself and take good care of my health.  Liu Wenyang turned around and told his third uncle Liu Neng to take good care of the house and his father. He should take care of everything at home and he would come back often to visit.  As if knowing that Liu Wenyang was really going to leave, the maids Xiaocui and Xiaohong were a little reluctant to leave. After all, there were very few masters who were as gentle and gentle as their master and didn't take him seriously at all. What's more, he was so handsome.  The maids Xiaocui and Xiaohong secretly wiped away their tears. Even the lazy python in the backyard seemed to know that Liu Wenyang was leaving home. He lost his good appetite and only ate two hundred eggs in one breath!  "In short, the entire Liu Mansion is filled with sorrow, and they are all unhappy because Liu Wenyang is going to travel far away to the county town.  It is more than 500 miles from Taohua Town to Poyang County. Taking a boat down the river is the fastest and can be reached in about a day and a night. However, the weather is cold now, and taking a boat will definitely be a pain. Unless you own a  For a boat as big as Chun Shisanniang, it would be better to take the land route.  It is not easy to travel by land. The journey is long and takes three or four days. Especially in the early Ming Dynasty, many places were not peaceful and were prone to robbers and strongmen.  Fortunately, Zhang Long, the head catcher Liu Wenyang knew, introduced an escort agency to Liu Wenyang. This agency happened to be going to the county town for a escort trip, so Liu Wenyang took a ride.  Take the little boy Mingyue with you.  There are still hundreds of taels of bundles.  Set off with the escort team.  The whole journey down was uneventful.  Occasionally, I met one or two petty thieves, and they just yelled "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree" and were wiped out by the escort team. According to the words of the leading escort master, "These days, only those who are new to the industry  Only a young child can yell like this, and the veteran doesn't say hello at all. He just grabs it! "It turns out that this is indeed the case. These small groups of bandits who were easily wiped out by the escort are basically green-skinned scoundrels who often hang out in teahouses and listen to books!  After the Chinese New Year, I was short of money, so I believed what the book said. As long as I stopped someone with a weapon and recited a few sentences, I could make a fortune like Cheng Yaojin who robbed the emperor.  Unexpectedly, they were all captured by the escort team. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It¡¯s half a day to reach Poyang County town, and we¡¯ve been living in the open for the past few days.  Liu Wenyang was exhausted at the thought of such a hardship.  In my heart, I couldn't help scolding Chun Shisanniang dozens of times.  When the team was resting, Liu Wenyang found a big tree and just sat down under it, when the leading escort came over.  The two of them have become familiar with each other in the past few days. Liu Wenyang knows that this person's surname is Zhao, his name is Zhao Laojiu, and his nickname is "Jiuye". He is also a well-known figure in this field. ?????????????? However, his nine-character character is not derived from ranking, but because he only has nine fingers. It is said that when he was drunk and made a bet with someone, he ate one of his fingers alive to bet on the three hundred taels of silver that the other party had.  As a result, he actually cut off one of his fingers and drank it with wine, but the other party later refused to pay the three hundred taels of silver, so Zhao Laojiu chopped off one of the other person's hands rudely.  He came down and took away the three hundred taels of silver When this incident spread, Zhao Laojiu became famous for his ruthlessness. It was also because of this ruthlessness that he became an escort master, and from 1978 to 2008 he became a bodyguard.  There is no miss, and the red goods being escorted are foolproof.  "What's the matter, Brother Liu, are you tired?" Zhang Laojiu threw the wine bag over, "Let's take a sip to refresh yourself. This is the Shao Knife I got from the north!" Liu Wenyang was not polite, took the wine bag and put it in  Wiping the mouth of the wine with his sleeve, he drank a few sips into his mouth. After drinking the strong drink, he felt that his throat was about to smoke, and his stomach was boiling.  Seeing Liu Wenyang drinking so generously, Zhao Laojiu couldn't help but look at him again. He originally thought that a weak scholar like Liu Wenyang would be a burden to escorts, but he didn't expect that he could endure hardships. Now he drinks so happily. Zhao Laojiu treats him very well.  appetite.  "Brother, you are a cheerful person, but I underestimated you! But we are about to arrive in Poyang County, and you and I have become acquainted. Don't pretend not to know each other when we meet in the future!" Zhao Laojiu said on the side  As he spoke, he took a swig of wine and his nose smelled of alcohol.  "How could it be possible? Brother Zhao is so generous and willing to help me to come to the county with the team. I am really grateful!" Liu Wenyang said with a smile.  "Haha, this is also something that Zhang Long entrusted me with. I think he and I didn't know each other before" While Zhao Laojiu was talking, Liu Wenyang took out thirty taels of silver notes and said  : "Brother, if you think highly of me,?, just accept this money, it can be regarded as my reward along the way!  " Zhao Laojiu couldn't help being startled, and then he said to himself, Zhang Long was indeed right, this scholar is a wonderful person, very good, and before he even mentioned it, he had already taken the initiative to thank him. So he felt very unhappy.  He politely put the thirty taels of silver notes into his arms and laughed: "I shouldn't have taken it, but since you are so sincere, brother, it would be disrespectful for me to refuse again, haha!  When you get to the county seat, I'll treat you to a big meal, which can also be regarded as a farewell banquet!  " "Where, I should be the one inviting everyone!  "Liu Wenyang smiled happily, but in fact, he really didn't take these dozens of taels of silver seriously now. When he thought about the wealth in the county, and those rich and wealthy people were slaughtered like sheep by him, he felt secretly happy. Zhang  Seeing that the other party was so generous, Lao Jiu's favorable impression of Liu Wenyang rose to a higher level again, and he couldn't help but ask: "But I don't know, brother, what are you going to do in Poyang County to make a living this time?  Teaching?  Rushing for the exam?  Or is it a business?  "Liu Wenyang thought for a while and smiled: "It's like doing business!  " Zhao Laojiu said: "If you are on your way, I will send you there directly. You will save yourself the trouble of getting on the black-hearted carriage. In the end, the conscience-stricken sedan chair will have all the tolls paid!  "Liu Wenyang couldn't help but be startled. It turns out that there are "black cars" in this era. "If this is the case, I will be even more grateful.  " "But I don't know where my brother is going?  " "Oh, go to Chunfeng Yixiao Tower!  " "Chunfeng Yixiao Tower?  Zhao Laojiu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Young people are indeed different. That place is a holy land of romance, and even my elder brother often visits it!"  " As soon as Liu Wenyang heard this, he knew that the other party was wrong, "Brother Zhao, please don't misunderstand me. I am not going to have fun, but to do business" " What business are you going to Chunfeng Tower for?  Isn¡¯t it just buying and selling laughter?  "Zhao Laojiu smiled even more lewdly. Liu Wenyang had to explain: "No!  In fact, I want to cooperate with the owner of Chunfeng Yixiaolou to do business.  " Liu Wenyang's words, which were neither gentle nor trivial, suddenly made Zhao Laojiu stunned. "What are you talking about? Who do you want to do business with?  " "Spring Thirteenth Mother!  Liu Wenyang smiled and said, "Isn't she the boss of Chunfeng Tower?"  "    "Well!  "Zhao Laojiu suddenly burped, then took Liu Wenyang's hand and said, "Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier!  Look at me, I'm neglecting you!  Also, if you take this money back, I can¡¯t take it no matter what!  "Zhao Laojiu directly returned the banknote that Liu Wenyang had just pushed over. This time it was Liu Wenyang's turn to be dumbfounded and didn't know why, "Brother Zhao, what are you" "Ahem, brother, don't ask so many questions, you  Just remember, when you see that Chun Shisanniang in the future, you must say a few kind words for me. Thank you in advance!  "After Zhao Laojiu finished speaking, he clasped his fists and saluted Liu Wenyang. This made Liu Wenyang even more confused. He didn't understand what the relationship between Zhao Laojiu and Chun Shisanniang was, and why he suddenly became so respectful to him. "It's better like this, Brother Liu.  , when you get to the county seat, I will send you directly to the Chunfeng Tower, so that you don¡¯t have to wander around and delay the serious business!  "How can that be done? Brother Zhao, you are so busy" "It's okay, haha. As brothers, you should help each other!"  "Zhao Laojiu looked extremely affectionate. Seeing him like this, Liu Wenyang was embarrassed to refuse, so he agreed. (To be continued)
