Chapter 30
When the morning sun rises slowly, Yanzhou Mansion is no different from the past, and a new day begins again.
The garrison soldiers opened the city gate and allowed the people waiting inside and outside the city gate to enter and exit.
Liu Erzhu had done this kind of work many times. He and his companions opened the heavy city gate. He stood at the edge of the city gate, watching the flow of people going in and out, while chatting with his partner.
Ordinary people's gossip is nothing more than trivial matters, nothing more than family gossip, and at most, some anecdotes from the streets.
"Have you heard that Mr. Sun from Luohefang took in a beautiful concubine a few days ago? She has a beautiful figure."
"Second Master Sun? Are you worthy of that scoundrel?" Zhou Quan took a sip and said with a hint of sourness.
"If his dead father hadn't paid for him to become an official, would such a bug-like thing be worthy of being called a master?"
"Tell me, his father is so lucky, but with only seven taels of silver, he bought a good job as a policeman."
Zhou Quan's words resonated deeply with Liu Erzhu.
"It's harmful. Who can say it's not? It's an iron rice bowl passed down from generation to generation. You are in charge of the livelihood of an entire village. Are you still worried that you won't be able to make any profit?"
"Unlike us, if you don't have a good father, you'll just have to stand guard at the gate of this city and drink from the northwest wind."
Liu Erzhu gritted his teeth and secretly hated it.
The worst thing to do is to know in advance. You must know that seven taels of silver could buy the policeman's background. Even if he sold his parents, he still had to collect the money.
Just when his intestines turned blue with regret, Zhou Quan suddenly stretched out his hand and punched his arm.
"Shh, keep your voice down, isn't the fat sheep here?"
He raised his mouth and gestured toward the door. Liu Erzhu looked up in the direction and saw four or five scattered donkey carts being driven out of the city.
"You're the one with the best eyesight!"
After swallowing and clearing his throat, Liu Erzhu put on a fierce look and was about to step forward.
When he saw who was coming, he immediately put out the fire.
"Hey, isn't this escort chief Chen? Why do you keep guarding the escort yourself today?"
Liu Erzhu greeted weakly like a defeated rooster.
It turns out that this person is Chen Qingzhi's father, and he is also Chen Zhennan who is responsible for liaison with Qiu Daorong and his party.
Who doesn’t know that Mr. Chen gave birth to a good son, and in his early twenties, he was already an eighth-rank imperial official, let alone a place like Liumen that eats people without spitting out their bones.
Liu Erzhu didn't want to bring trouble on himself and went to get into trouble with Liumen.
Needless to say, this guy can't get much out of him.
"It makes you two laugh. Baicaotang is in urgent need of a batch of medicinal materials. Coincidentally, I happen to be free, so I thought of going for a walk in the countryside myself. Secondly, it will also relax and rejuvenate the muscles and bones."
Chen Zhennan boldly cupped his fists and gave a haha, and lied with a calm expression.
"Your business is getting bigger and bigger. I think within a few years, Weiyuan Escort Agency will be one of the best in the entire province!"
Liu Erzhu gave a thumbs up sign with envy, and Liu Erzhu also smiled and joked.
"Whenever we brothers can no longer do this job, I hope that Mr. Chen will take some care of him."
"Haha, easy to talk about."
The sedan chairmen were carrying the people, and Chen Zhennan also gave the two brothers a fierce compliment before saying goodbye and leading the people out of the gate.
It wasn't until Chen Zhennan and his party disappeared from his sight that Liu Erzhu dared to joke in a low voice to Zhou Quan beside him.
"Look, there's a son here that I can rely on!"
"Comparing people with each other makes people mad. I'm going to beat that kid of mine when I go back today."
Zhou Quan rubbed the spear in his hand and said viciously.
"This makes sense, the child will not grow up without beating..."
Liu Erzhu was about to agree, but when he thought that he only had three loser daughters, he suddenly lost all thought of talking.
…
Over there, Chen Zhennan said he was going to a nearby village to collect medicinal materials, but the route he took was getting further and further away from the capital city.
The few accompanying him were either his old brothers for many years or old men who had been in the escort agency for a long time.
The old escort chief still had a strong presence, so even if he had doubts, no one would take the initiative to say anything.
It wasn't until he entered the boundary of Heifeng Village that Chen Zhennan stopped and bowed to his colleagues.
"Brothers, I can't help being the eldest brother today. I have to obey the authority in a hurry and have no choice but to hide this from several brothers."
Before he could finish his words, someone was vaguely surrounding him in the forest.
"Brother, what do you mean?"
Huang Qinhu frowned, took out the food, and looked around with a wary expression.
Several old brothers around him also learned from him.
"Qing'er's father-in-law, in addition to being a well-known money man in the west of the city, also has another identity as the head of Heifeng Village."
At this point, Chen Zhennan no longer had any need to hide anything.
Huang Qinhu was shocked when he heard this, but what was even more unbelievable was yet to come.
"Qiu Daorong, the former captain of the Shenwei Camp under King Fu, has met several heroes from the Weiyuan Escort Bureau."
He raised his hands and sang, different from the old boss style, now Qiu Daorong's brows were filled with a murderous aura, and he was unabashedly putting pressure on everyone with his perfect Qi cultivation.
A master with great energy?
Huang Qinhu and others' faces turned pale, as if they were being pressed down by a huge mountain, and the hands holding their weapons were trembling.
They never thought that the fat and white man from a wealthy family whom Chen Qingzhi met on the day of their wedding was actually an unassuming master behind his back.
Wait, there is King Fu, could it be that the eldest brother is thinking——
rebel?!
A terrible word appeared in several people's minds at the same time.
As armored soldiers surrounded them one after another, this suspicion was confirmed.
Nowadays, what Huang Qinhu was thinking about was no longer whether he could survive, but how many heads of his nine-member family could be chopped off by the government.
"Everyone, before His Royal Highness Prince Fu gets into trouble, I would like to ask you to stay here for a while."
Qiu Daorong's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The last illusion in Huang Qinhu's heart was shattered. People were treated as slaves and others were treated as fish. They didn't even think about resisting, so they surrendered.
On the opposite side, there is a person who has mastered Zhenqi, and there is also a group of well-trained soldiers formed in a military formation. As for my brother, the only one who has mastered Zhenqi secretly surrendered to the enemy. Who can lead this!
As the in-law of the head of the family, Chen Zhennan's treatment is slightly better and he does not have to be escorted to the village.
He just knew in his heart that what he did was not honest, so the old guard didn't even dare to look back all the way, for fear of seeing the disappointed and disdainful looks of several old brothers.
