Yangzhou Prefecture has governed the three prefectures and eight counties, Gaoyouzhou has governed Baoying, Xinghua County, Taizhou has governed Rugao County, Tongzhou has governed the four counties of Jiangdu, Yizhen, Taixing and Jingjiang, and Jiangdu is the prefecture.

Lin Weiran did not land in Jiangdu County, but chose to land in the adjacent Taixing County, but planned to go from Taixing County to Yangzhou City.

Taixing County was established in the first year of Shengyuan in the Southern Tang Dynasty, meaning "the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous", and has a history of 600 years. It was originally affiliated to Taizhou, but was changed to Yangzhou in the fourth year of Xuanhe of Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, and this dynasty chose to continue using it.

Since Taixing County is adjacent to the Yangtze River, there are several private wharfs here, and the wharfs are crowded, many cargoers are carrying goods to land, which seems very lively.

Lin Qingran took more than a dozen strong guards to land in a low-key manner through a small boat. The pier was connected to Taixing County, but it was not an official road, but just a solid dirt road.

Although this place is a wealthy place, it is impossible to have whatever you want. They searched around the dock just to find a somewhat shabby carriage.

After the price was negotiated, Lin Fu came over to invite Lin Junran and Mengzhao to get on the carriage.

Lin Weiran looked at the four carriages lined up in front of him. They loaded bags of goods on the ship into the carriage, looking very heavy, but they didn't know what they were carrying.

"Uncle Nineteen, those are used by others to transport goods. The price I offered is not low, but they don't agree. Why don't I raise the price for them?" Lin Fu saw Lin Weiran and seemed to be glaring at those good carriages.

, even suggested.

Lin Weiran shook his head gently and got on the carriage and left.

On this pier, there were a few guys with sting eyes. They only saw the sturdy guards such as Tiezhu, and the people did not carry heavy objects, and they seemed to have not chosen to follow them.

It was summer. A heavy rain a few days ago made the soil soft and the air was filled with some earthy fragrance. The squeaking carriage slowly headed towards Taixing County.

Along the way, the roads have unique Jiangnan scenery.

There are almost no traces of mountains and forests here, as if every place is rice fields or mulberry fields. People work hard here to cultivate, while the rice has already produced ears and is not far from maturity.

It was a nice sunny day just now, but a cloud of dark clouds rolled in the east.

"Customer, it's not good! Look at the sky, it won't take long to make a heavy rain!" The old man who drove out looked at the sky suddenly, and asked the two people in the carriage with a worried look on his face.

road.

"How far is it from the county town?" Meng Zhao's personality has always been steady, so he asked in a deep voice.

The old man looked at the road and immediately made a judgment: "Report to Master, we are still a few miles away from the county town, but my carriage leaks, and you will definitely get wet. Why not go to Shiqiao Village in front to avoid it now

Yu, my wife is from that village. I can help you settle down and set off again tomorrow. Is that good?”

While speaking, an impatient wind blew across the rice seedlings, pulling the rice fields like waves, and rolling up the curtain of the carriage. The outside became obviously dim, and there were even sounds of horse hooves coming from behind.

In order to cover up, Mengzhao pretended to be the leader of this trip. However, when he really encountered something, he did not dare to make a decision rashly, and turned his eyes to Lin Qingran.

Lin Weiran saw the changes in the sky, and felt quite helpless. However, facing this sudden change, he nodded helplessly.

His original intention was to go to Tai'an County to learn about some situation, but his plan obviously could not keep up with the changes, so he had to live in a farmer's house.

"Bastard, hurry up!"

The carriage that followed behind seemed very panicked, and the groom urged them.

"Put your mouth cleanly, believe it or not, I will kill you immediately!"

How could the guards following behind him bear this anger? He immediately started to get angry.

"Liu Jiu, why are you clamoring? I will take the distinguished guest to Shiqiao Village. Do you want to join us?" The old man obviously met the people behind him and immediately said hello.

"You don't have so much nonsense, hurry up and hurry up. Are you trying to have my life on purpose?" The groom named Liu Jiu seemed to have an air-feeding pump, and immediately said furiously.

The old man did not refute, just whip, speeding up towards Shiqiao Village.

Lin Fu comforted the guard, immediately accelerated and ran tightly behind the carriage. However, there was an escort taking advantage of the situation, but he got on the carriage behind him with a threat.

The wind blows the rivers, lakes, rains darken the villages, and the sounds of the four mountains turn into waves.

The carriage passed through a stone bridge and entered a village with big trees. In addition, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the whole village had a doomsday atmosphere.

As soon as I entered the village, I heard a few barking dogs, and a few soybean-like raindrops were already beating down.

When he arrived at a blue brick house, the old man asked Lin Qingran to wait for a while, and then he got inside. Not long after, he walked out and seemed a little embarrassed and said to Meng Zhao: "This master, let's free the house for you, and you still have it.

Please spend one night here, but…!”

As soon as he finished speaking, silver flew over.

Meng Zhao looked like a financial supporter and said to the old man lightly: "As long as you treat me and my group properly, I will not treat you badly. I will give you another reward tomorrow! If you want to be hearted

If you have bad thoughts, don’t blame me for taking you to see the county uncle tomorrow!”

"So it's the juren! Even if you give a villain 100,000 courage, the villain dares not have any evil thoughts. Please come in!" The old man took the heavy silver and immediately said with a smile.

Meng Zhao wanted to give in, but seeing Lin Weiran standing there and still stood still, he also walked in with a tough bullet. With such a Buddha standing beside him, his confidence increased by hundreds of times.

The old man led them to the main hall. Next to the main hall were several houses. This was just an ordinary house, but it was already a good house in the village.

Meng Zhao pretended to be an air in front of Liu Laosan. After watching the old man leave, he turned around and bowed to Lin Qingran: "Teacher, please don't blame my disciple Meng Lang just now!"

"Tinglun, you are smart. How can you blame me for being a teacher? Let's sit down!" Lin Qingran knew that he was in the countryside now, and Mengzhao's act of intimidating people was a very wise approach.

Meng Zhao saw that the teacher did not blame him, and his heart was relieved. He just didn't dare to sit on an equal footing with Lin Qingran, but chose to sit in the seat where he started.
