Chapter 50
After entering the post house, Ruan Dacheng began to work inside and outside. The soldiers were still in a Datongpu room with eight people per room. Mao Wenlong, Li Xiao, and Ao Canghai were arranged into a room that was originally locked in the courtyard.
There is a blue brick house with peach blossoms in the yard. Although the scenery is not great, it is definitely not bad.
It seems that the money was really well spent. Ruan Dacheng is a guy who takes to the road. Without the money sprinkled on the road, the lock of this yard will never be opened. Ruan Dacheng explained with practical actions what it means to have money that can make people go around.
In this place in the capital, if you are really rich, you will have no problem letting the ghosts go.
"Brother Ruan, I don't know how long we will stay here." Li Xiao asked with his hands raised.
When Ruan Dacheng saw Li Xiao, he immediately burst into smiles. Although he was older than Li Xiao in official position, Lord Ruan was still full of respect for the boss who had to give up his superior to Mao Wenlong. Because he couldn't understand either.
Why does everyone in the team seem to be afraid of Li Xiao? They don’t seem so afraid of Mao Wenlong. Even Mao Wenlong seems to be afraid of Li Xiao.
I have been immersed in officialdom all my life and have been fighting with others. It is not enough to say that I have a sharp eye, but you can tell the quality of a mule without being pulled out. Ruan Dacheng can read a lot from people's eyes when they look at Li Xiao.
information.
"My little brother doesn't know the rules here!
When you meet His Majesty, you need to learn the etiquette of meeting a driver in this post house. This matter is the responsibility of Lord Sun's Ceremony Department. After you have learned the etiquette, Lord Sun can report it to the Ministry of Rites. As for when His Majesty will see you, then
It is not something that lower officials and others can have the final say.
Sometimes it only takes three to five days. If it takes longer... I have seen it last four to five months.
Little brother, although food is provided in this post, if it is provided according to the standards of the imperial court, not many people will be able to eat enough. Don't blame the people below, you should also know what is going on in the imperial court. When the money and food come down
Even if it's not enough, there's nothing they can do about it. Please tell your brothers to be more considerate!" After Ruan Dacheng finished speaking, he raised his hand to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao understood that Ruan Dacheng was telling the truth. He was afraid that his soldiers would cause trouble if they disliked the treatment.
Corruption has become rampant in the Ming Dynasty, and the official hats of the imperial court can be sold with clearly marked prices. Since the official is bought with money, it must be treated as a business. If the cost is not recovered, who the hell will pay for the emperor's errands? In these days and months
, and not that high-spirited person.
"Thank you, Mr. Ruan, for the tip. I understand. I promise that the brothers will not cause trouble. Don't worry, sir."
"Thank you very much, little brother. You guys have been working hard all the way and have a rest first. If anything happens, just ask your servants to come to me. I'm in love with you, little brother. As long as you have something to do, just come to me. It's within the scope of my authority."
It must be done properly.”
"Thank you!"
Seeing that Li Xiao agreed immediately and would not let the soldiers cause trouble, Ruan Dacheng immediately told Li Xiao what he was going to say to Mao Wenlong. He could tell from Li Xiao's confidence that Li Xiao in this team said
I have the final say. At least I can have the final say!
Watching Ruan Dacheng go out, Li Xiao saw Li Hu trying to sneak out secretly.
"Where are you going?" Li Xiao shouted to Li Hu with his eyes wide open. There must be no good in being so sneaky.
"Brother, I snore while sleeping. I'm going to sleep outside!"
"Snoring? You kid is gritting your teeth, farting, and clicking your mouth! Go back and sleep in the same room with me. There is a lot of chaos in the capital, so don't go out if you have nothing to do." Li Xiao knew that this kid definitely wanted to sneak out to play.
Everyone knew that he was their younger brother, and no one even the platoon leaders dared to really control Li Hu. Li Hu was at the age where cats and dogs are attracted, and the capital was full of tigers and wolves. What if something happened?
, it may be difficult to handle. After all, this is not our territory. We have more than 100 people stationed in the capital city where hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed. It’s not even a fart!
"Oh! Got it!" Seeing that his trick was exposed, Li Hu could only go back and prepare a bed for Li Xiao.
"Master, you are looking for me!" Ai Husheng came over after seeing Li Xiao and Li Hu finish talking.
"You go to the guy in charge of food at the post house and give him some money so that the brothers can eat better. In this shitty capital, even the soldiers are greedy for money for their rations. We still have enough cash!"
"The cash can still last for a few days, even if it's not enough for the treasures we brought out. As long as we take out one item, it will be enough for us to eat for half a year. Keep your heart in your stomach and you will never let the brothers go hungry.
With."
"That's good! Go ahead and do it!"
"yes!"
Ao Canghai in the distance was talking excitedly about something with the steward in the yard. It could be seen from the expressions of the two wretched old men that they were definitely not talking about anything good.
Mao Wenlong got into the house and never came out. After all, he was almost fifty. The bumpy official roads of Ming Dynasty made him feel like he was shaking the Lantern Festival while sitting in the carriage. After sitting for a while, Li Xiao felt like he was motion sick. Not to mention
General Mao rode a carriage from Shanhaiguan to the capital. It probably took less than three or two days, and he would not be able to recover at all.
It's better to go back to the house and have a good sleep. Riding on the horse along the way is enough. When we go to the capital this time, we might encounter something. It's important to recharge your batteries and have plenty of physical strength!
"Asshole! Asshole!" As soon as he walked into the house, Li Xiao had an ominous premonition.
Sure enough, Li Hu was using a quilt to cover Xiaobai, who was screaming.
"Hey! Come on!" Li Xiao was so angry that he kicked Li Hu's feet. It turned out that this bad guy didn't want to sneak out to play, but wanted to hide Xiaobai.
Without Xiaobai, Xiaoyu still doesn’t know how she will cry.
How could this bastard bring it out? How could he face the heartbroken Xiaoyu if he choked him to death along the way? When Li Xiao thought of those big tearful eyes, he had the urge to kick Li Hu again.
Li Hu didn't say anything, but just scratched the place where Li Xiao had kicked him. The rich nutrition of Pi Dao literally destroyed a thirteen-year-old boy into a tiger with a back and waist. He was stronger than his elder brother Li Xiao by half his head and arms.
He can lift a large stone lock in one effort.
Recently, I was practicing the Golden Bell Kung Fu with Mangui. I wore a burlap suit all day long and was beaten. The child's chest and back were constantly hit with a stick as thick as his arm, and an iron stick was used as a roller to roll the calf back and forth.
Head-on bone.
Li Xiao tried it once and felt that this training method should be used in the concentration camp. Li Xiao regarded the training method as a scourge, but when he came to Li Hu, he never tired of it. He was not tired of being beaten all day long, and his whole body felt uncomfortable.
.Finally, Li Xiao concluded that this kid just deserves a beating.
"Let it out, if it poops on the kang, I...I'll make you not allowed to eat for two days!" I really couldn't find a way to punish this guy, so I kicked him twice, which really made him tickle. After thinking about it, , it is still true that food comes when hungry. It not only saves food expenses, but also achieves the purpose of defeating the enemy without fighting.
Birds can't poop accurately. Sometimes they can poop while flying. The originator of falling objects from high altitudes!
Xiaobai is a meat lover, and the shit he pulls out must be full of feces and smell strong. I can’t sleep even if I let him poop for a while. It’s evil. His parrot doesn’t eat nuts but eats meat instead. . Could it be that when you come to the Northeast, your habits have changed?
The most important thing is that if I let this guy cover it up again, he would really cover up the impure bird to death. Li Xiao couldn't even imagine how sad Xiaoyu would be.
"Asshole! You bastard!" Xiaobai could still be heard yelling and cursing through the quilt.
When Li Hu lifted the quilt, Xiaobai fluttered his arms but couldn't fly. Li Xiao took a closer look and saw that there was an iron ball tied to his leg.
"Untie!" Li Xiao kicked Li Hu again.
"What should I do if it flies?"
"I haven't tied anyone in our house for two years, and now I'm gone. I've only built muscles but no brains!"
"Come on! Come on!" Xiaobai puffed up his arms and continued shouting!
"You bastard, you ask me to stew you again." Li Hu was obviously unwilling to be insulted by a bird, pointing at Xiaobai's nose and threatening him fiercely.
"Son of a bitch! Bastard of a bitch!" Xiaobai opened his mouth and yelled at Li Hu.
"Don't untie him, then tie him up." Li Xiao rolled his eyes in anger. Li Hu was his brother. He was a bastard, so who was he?
Li Xiao's team has its own cooks, and each company has a cooking squad. This time Li Xiao came to the capital, but he even brought the cooking squad with him. He didn't use the post house to open fire, he just borrowed the kitchen.
Ai Husheng asked Caimai to buy a whole pig. The pigs of this era were not the kind of pigs that ate feed in later generations. They were big fat domestic pigs. Poor people were reluctant to kill pigs for the New Year. This big fat pig had enough Two hundred and thirty or forty pounds, cut in half and leave half a fan, enough for two days of food.
Although the spring season has started, the ground has not melted yet. I dare not think of the greenhouse vegetables in Pidao, which are radish and cabbage stewed with meat. The Shandong chef is absolutely amazing at his cooking, and the big white steamed buns are steaming like hot cakes. Just now The steamed buns cooked out of the pan are noisier than any other pastry.
Li Hu squatted by the stove and choked on three steamed buns in a row. He turned around and poured a large bowl of cabbage soup, then put a large pot of vegetables in his mouth, ready to continue eating with Li Xiao.
"I just asked about it. There are some alleys outside the front door that are quite interesting. Tonight...!" Ao Canghai winked at Mao Wenlong in great interest. This is the only thing the two old perverts could talk about together. Ao Canghai Although I worked as a police officer in Liaodong, the small brothels in Liaodong were not bad. There are many rules in the brothels in the capital, so it is better to let someone like Mao Wenlong who has seen the world follow him. Don't make a fool of yourself and look bad.
"You are not allowed to go anywhere! This place in the capital is very chaotic. I want to visit the brothels. When you get to Shandong, let Chen Fu lead you. He is an old prostitute."
"Brother Xiao, are the girls in Shandong the same as those in the capital? How about we go together at night? Find a Yangzhou thin horse to eat meat for you?" Ao Canghai said with an eyebrow on his face.
Chapter completed!
