On the south bank of the Yellow River, there are many wheat fields on the plain and among the green crop fields, three short-dressed men are rushing on the road with their donkeys.
Unexpectedly, a team of officials wearing tubes and soap boots came to drink them.
The official officer had only one green robe riding a horse, and pointed at the three men with a whip and said: What are you doing?
Wait!At present, a big man with a round belly grabbed the donkey and went forward to arch and said: The grass-funded people sell some rare goods and go back to the village to sell them.
When the official heard that the man spoke in Kaifeng Mansion accent, he didn't even ask where they were and said coldly: Isn't the vendor a private salt?
The big man with a round belly said in horror: How dare you!How dare you?The grass-roots and others are all responsible for earning some hard money and never committing crimes.
search!The green-robed official gave the order.
The big man and a few others hurriedly asked the officials to be gentle.
The group of people took off the sacks carried on the donkey's back, pulled out the knife and cut the rope, untied the things inside, and looked at them for a while and found that there were some food, fur and other things.
An official turned around and clasped his fists and said: There was only a small bag of salt.The big man in the belly hurriedly said: It's less than a pound, it's what we eat, and we can't sell salt so much...
roll!roll!The green-robed official shouted, "Those who are not farming at home and running around are the easiest people to steal and catch crimes!"
The three men hurriedly carried the sack, led the donkey and left.They were tied with torn linen on their hands, but the inspector didn't pay attention.
When they walked away, a man cursed and said: Damn, if I had beaten that guy to death back then!
Another man looked at the towering city tower in the distance and said: Li Dutou, Tokyo City is right in front. Should we enter the city?
Li Du's head was the big man with a big belly and responded: There are many officials in Tokyo, and he was afraid that the filling would be exposed if he was accidentally exposed.The people who practice archery have different hands on their left and right, and experienced old soldiers can recognize them.There are some streets and alleys in the suburbs of the city, and people live in the city. These places are mixed with fish and dragons. Let’s find a house to live there first.According to the confessions of prisoners provided by the Northern Han people, the place where the armor was created was in the southern suburbs.
I have friends in the southern suburbs.The person next to him said.
Li Dutou said: Don’t contact anyone first. Let’s be careful with our identity now, knowing people and not yours.
The group came to the outside of Tokyo. There were many city halls here. The government renovated and governed these places where they lived. The main streets in the north and south were quite neat, but the alleys in the neighborhood were unsightly, and there were many broken houses.
The three of them found a remote and broken house and paid to rent it.
The next day, they rode a donkey to a market near the Bian River to the south. The market was very prosperous and the houses were well built, and they looked more spacious and neat than the streets next to the Tokyo city walls.
Li Dutou wandered around the streets and alleys of dirt roads and inquire about it. This market has only appeared in the past two years. It is mainly because there are many craftsmen and helpers in the Zaojiafang by the Bianshui River. The craftsmen are rich, so all kinds of shops and peddlers nearby come. Many craftsmen with family live here because the Zaojiafang is very noisy.
Li Du turned around and found that all kinds of houses were newly built, and the roads were all dirt roads. There were only some simple barriers around the town. There was a archway built at the entrance of the main road, and there was no gate.
As soon as they planned, they bought some things in the town nearby, got a cart, and put the donkey he brought to the cart.He then left the town with all kinds of items from the tea and pancake stall.
When they arrived at Zaojiafang, Li Dutou and others were also surprised and saw that the scene was very grand.
A wide waterway was dug out on the east side of the Bian River, leading the river water to a valley to the west, and then horizontally built the waterway and many gates. The river water poured down from above, like waterfalls.
There are a circle of earthen walls in the valley, and the huge impact sounds of ding-clang clanging inside are endless.
There were horse heads on the river that drew water, and various ships were coming and going.
The three of them touched the entrance of the workshop area along the road, and wanted to pretend to set up a tea stall to see the situation first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they got there, they saw a tea stall there, and the three of them looked at each other in an instant.
It was morning, and there were no customers at the tea stall, only a middle-aged man sat there, looking at the donkey cart of Li Dutou and others with a bad look.
Li Dutou and others drove the donkey to the side of the road, then went up to sit down on the wooden bench, and said quietly: Let’s quench your thirst with three bowls of tea.
The man responded, slowly scooped three bowls of tea and brought them up.At this time, Li Dutou realized that the stall owner's left sleeve was empty, as if he was disabled.
Look, look over there.The stall owner smiled and raised his head to the entrance of the workshop wall.Li Dutou and others had already seen soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp-wild men at the gate of the village.
The stall owner smiled and said: Do you want to set up a stall here?But no, what if you are spies?
When several men and others heard the word spy, their faces changed slightly.
Li Dutou smiled and said: Look, how can we behave like spies like this?We are all from Tokyo City. I heard that it is very profitable here, so I want to come and have a look.
The stall owner said calmly: There is a town not far south, and I want to go there for business.Look, where do you come from here except me?
Li Dutou hurriedly asked: Brother, how can you do business here?
The stall owner pointed to his left arm: I was working in the workshop, but one day I didn’t pay much attention to it at night, and the hammer weighing more than a thousand pounds fell on my hand!I almost lost my life, so I can't be a disability.Fortunately, the people from the Afang Office gave me money every month, and I couldn't do any work, so I allowed me to do some small business here.I was originally the craftsman inside, so I could naturally be here.
It turns out that the eldest brother is a person who eats imperial grain, and he is disrespectful.Li Dutou said, "Don't you know the eldest brother's surname?"
I will be exempted from your surname Lu.The stall owner Lu smiled and said, "You guys, it's better to save some trouble, so don't get trapped."It’s not that I don’t let you grab business here, even if I want, the general will drive you away.
Li Du's head touched his forehead: We already know what's going on. Even if we don't do business, we respect people like Brother Lu, and we want to make friends.
ha!The stall owner Lu smiled and took a breath. I didn't understand what brother means... After that.
Li Dutou said a little embarrassedly: To be honest, our neighbors were planning to do some business in the market, but there were no acquaintances here, so they hadn't just been driven to take a look here.
Stand owner Lu suddenly realized and nodded.
Li Dutou said: We saw a wine shop in the market. After the stall owner Lu took it, how many brothers will go have a drink?
After hearing this, the stall owner Lu looked happy and was indeed a good wine person, so he did not refuse.
So Li Dutou and others finished their tea, made an appointment to meet under the archway at Youshi, and left first.
By the hour of You, several people met. The stall owner Lu brought the things home first and quickly drove them out.
A few people went straight to the restaurant, asking for wine and food. After a few cups of wine, everyone quickly became familiar with each other. With wine to cheer up the fun of the four people on the table, they wanted to become sworn brothers immediately.
Li Dutou took the opportunity to make a mess and asked the stall owner Lu what he had done in the workshop before.
The stall owner Lu patted his chest and said that he was a master craftsman. After being injured, he could not start work even if the workshop was missing. Finally, he found another master to work.
Li Du said that he would be so good if his brothers could go in and eat imperial grain.
Li Dutou continued to talk clichés, and from time to time he persuaded him to drink, he asked some questions, how did the workshop make? The stall owner Lu said it all the same, but he said that the superiors were not allowed to speak nonsense and was unwilling to say it in detail.
The stall owner Lu was drunk and the wine shop was about to close. Three people came out... and one left the seat halfway.
At this time, there was an extra carriage outside. Li Dutou and others helped the stall owner Lu, who could not walk, to the carriage and took him home.
...The stall owner Lu didn't know how he went back. When he woke up, the sky outside was already lit up slightly.He wanted to turn over, but then he realized that he was unable to move all over, sore and painful, and there was a ball of cloth in his mouth!
He looked around and suddenly felt something was wrong. The room was broken and dirty, and it must be not at home.He widened his eyes and finally found the man who was dozing in a chair next to him.
The man heard the sound, opened his eyes and looked, got up and lifted a broken curtain, and screamed in a deep voice to the outside.In a short while, the round-bellied man came in.
Li Dutou held a short knife in his hand. After sitting down, he gently scraped the blade with his left finger. His face was cold, and there was no polite smile yesterday?
His voice was cold: Yesterday, when you came back to the market from the workshop, you went home and put the car on your way; my brother followed and knew where your home was.You have a son who is so tall, looking like he is thirteen or fourteen years old. I'm right?
Stand owner Lu widened his eyes.
Li Du said: If you don’t listen to me, I will get your son over and stab him to death in front of you. Do you understand?
The stall owner Lu shook his head in horror and nodded with a muffled groan.
Li Du's head pulled out the cloth from his mouth.The stall owner Lu immediately begged: I have no grudges and no grudges with you, this is, this is...
Li Dutou said: Don't worry, I went up the peak and wanted to find a armor that could be made in the workshop.As long as you serve us, you will not only be fine, but you will also be prosperous and prosperous.Brother Li doesn’t have to work on his own. Let’s find craftsmen and teach them how to make armor.how?
The stall owner Lu said with regret and said with a sad face: I deserve to die!Just brag about how quickly I can’t... I’m just a choreographer in the workshop, how could a master move things under the hammer?
After hearing this, Li Dutou looked angry and took a deep breath: Have you been in there for so long, can you always watch it?
Stand owner Lu said: I know about some things. I have also seen how the ah was forged, but there are a lot of things on the forging hammer, and I don’t understand why it can move on its own... The workshop is also strict, and ordinary craftsmen and handymen can only enter one house; I am only in the forging house.There is another drive house next door, which I have never been in before.Only the masters and craftsmen of each yard are in charge of everything...
Unexpectedly, a team of officials wearing tubes and soap boots came to drink them.
The official officer had only one green robe riding a horse, and pointed at the three men with a whip and said: What are you doing?
Wait!At present, a big man with a round belly grabbed the donkey and went forward to arch and said: The grass-funded people sell some rare goods and go back to the village to sell them.
