Road guides. People who are hundreds of miles away from their residence must have road guides to pass and stay. The name, place of origin, destination, date and physical characteristics of the traveler must be marked on the road guides to facilitate inspections at checkpoints and hotels along the way. None
Those who fail to comply with the citations, or who hold false citations, will be arrested by the government.
Road guides originated in the Tang Dynasty, but the Ming and Qing Dynasties had the most stringent requirements. Therefore, fake road guides came into being and became a tool for making money for some people. Fake road guides are not easy to make, and it is difficult for people to have such forgery technology.
Moreover, it is difficult for civilians to be familiar with the types and forms of seals at each pass, as well as the hidden identification marks, which are easy to detect. Therefore, most of the so-called fake road guides are actually real, but the identities marked on them are fake.
Because those who make false guides are people from the government.
The day after Xia Xun arrived at Jinan Mansion, he and Ximen Qing went to a restaurant not far from the Yamen of the Provincial Commissioner for Punishment. They asked for a private room and ordered some food and wine. The two of them sat down and waited for a while.
There was a local idle rogue who sneaked into the restaurant.
Hearing three long and two short knocks on the door, Ximen Qing immediately opened the door. The man stepped in, looked at the two of them, grinned, and took out two pieces of road from his arms to lead them.
This man was a local snake that Ximen Qing had contact with. His name was Cheng Fan, but the locals nicknamed him Lemen Dog. Cheng Fan took out the two copies of the road from his pocket, handed them to Ximen Qing, and said:
"Check it out, but if there are any omissions or mistakes, the goods will be sold, but they will not be returned or exchanged."
Ximen Qing opened it and saw that a bunch of seals had been stamped on the two road guides. The rectangular one was the seal of the military, the square one was the seal of the state and county yamen, and the circular one was the seal of the inspection checkpoint.
, just looking at these chapters, the holders of these two road guides should have passed through many states and counties.
The names of the two people are also clearly visible: Gao Sheng and Xia Xun. Both of them are from Xuzhou. They went to Peiping to collect debts for the owners of the leather goods shop. The physical characteristics mentioned above are exactly the same as those of them.
After Ximen Qing looked at it in a hurry, he thanked him repeatedly. Cheng Fan said with a smile: "You're welcome. I accept people's money and help them eliminate disasters. I don't care what you do, but if something happens, you have to deal with this first."
The road guide is destroyed, otherwise we will not admit that something really happened. Forging a road guide is an even worse crime than wandering around without a road guide. You must also understand how much more and what less."
Ximen Qing smiled and said: "I understand, of course I understand. Brother Cheng, don't worry. With our status, we can do anything evil. It's just that there are some things that we really shouldn't travel in a public capacity."
As Ximen Qing spoke, he took out the remaining balance of twenty-five cents from his pocket and handed it to Cheng Fan. Cheng Fan took a look at it, put it in his sleeves with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Okay, I wish you both the best."
The shopkeeper made a fortune all the way, so Cheng took his leave."
After he went out, Xia Xun frowned slightly and said: "This person seems to be just an ordinary gangster, but he can lead the way? But it's not a fake, and it was found out by the government along the way. Before we do anything important, we will go out first."
It’s a mistake.”
Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Don't worry, do you think he, a rogue, can lead this way? Hey, these are the masterpieces of people in the public sect, but they are hidden behind the scenes and will not directly communicate with their employers.
Don’t worry, those who are trading, except for the two of us who are fake, these two road guides will be genuine no matter where you go to check them!"
Cheng Fan collected the money and left the restaurant triumphantly. As soon as he walked not far away, a young man in white robe came up waving a fan. When he saw him, he waved and called: "Plague, come here."
Cheng Fan was a little unhappy when he heard someone calling him a nickname, but as soon as he saw the person's appearance clearly, he immediately shrugged his shoulders, smiled broadly, and ran forward with his buttocks between his legs: "Oh, Mr. Cao, I haven't seen you for a few days. Look at your complexion, your face is radiant and rosy. You must be either getting rich or having many romantic encounters."
Mr. Cao laughed loudly, slapped him on the head with his folding fan, and said, "Don't be so talkative. Where did this come from?"
It turned out that this person was Cao Yuguang, the son of Mr. Cao, the prosecutor of Jinan. Cheng Fan took a step forward and lowered his voice and said with a smile: "I'm not going to hide it from you, I sold two more roads today, and I got a total of money." Eighty years to go, Master, we don’t have many empty roads that have been built for other state capitals to guard against, Master, you still have to think of ways to get more, this business is very prosperous."
Cao Yuguang has now succeeded Yang Xu and become the business agent of King Qi. He is doing well in Qingzhou and is no longer interested in the small business of selling road guides, so he said haha : "Save it, save it, I'll think of a solution after I finish what I'm doing. Who sold these two pieces today? Such a big deal, a road guide usually only sells for twenty guan, but this person actually We paid double the price, but we don’t want him to be a gangster or a prisoner wanted by the court. We have to be careful when making money and don’t make any big mistakes."
Cheng Fan said with a smile: "Don't worry, young master, how can I dare to deal with such a person? According to your instructions, every time I sell a copy of the guide, I must first verify his true guide. I only dare to help if I know their identity." .These two people are not evil-doers. There are two of them. One of them is a businessman from Yanggu County, named Ximen Qing. The other is a student from Qingzhou, named Yang Xu. I don’t know if they have some shady business and want to hide it. It’s only through knowing the true identity, but I’m afraid they can’t do the business of killing people and selling goods.”
Cao Yuguang was stunned and lost his voice: "Is it him? Uh... oh..., I understand, I kind of understand. Well, you can really rest assured about this person. Okay, let me tell you, boss, that this month Let’s settle the money for selling the road guide and send it to my house in the evening. I have something else to do, so I’ll leave now.”
Cheng Fan caught up and said, "Sir, please don't forget that our inventory is running low."
As Cao Yuguang walked, he waved his hand and said: "Save it, save it.
"You said that when Yang Xu came to Jinan, he spent a lot of money on fake road guides?"
Ziyi Teng poured a glass of wine for Cao Yuguang and asked slowly. He thought of Yang Xu who bought fake road signs and spent forty dollars on one ticket. However, his innocent daughter of seventeen years only had only thirty dollars on the night of grooming. Really, her heart was bleeding.
Cao Yuguang held her on his knees, caressing her breasts and buttocks with his hands. While enjoying the wonderful soft and elastic touch, he smiled and said: "Yes, it's a coincidence that I bumped into him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that he was also there." Come to Jinan."
A flash of deep resentment flashed in Ziyi Teng's eyes, and he asked again: "Isn't he a student? Logically speaking, we have a bright future, he can do everything, why do he have to spend money to build fake roads?"
Cao Yuguang took a sip of wine from her hand and said leisurely: "Well, you don't understand. Many times, when many people want to go out to do business, it is inconvenient to use their real identity. At this time, they need to use a fake But if the road guide doesn’t match your identity, how can you hide it from others? So you have to buy a fake road guide.”
Ziyi Teng's eyes flashed and he asked alertly: "In other words, he went to Peking to do something illegal?"
Cao Yuguang chuckled and said, "It's a shameful thing anyway."
Ziyi Teng was overjoyed and blurted out: "Then the young master should send someone to follow him and see what he wants to do."
Cao Yuguang was startled and asked: "What do I want him to do...and what will he do?"
Ziyi Teng was stunned and said: "Oh..., this..., didn't the young master say that Prince Qi favors him very much? If he were to overthrow him, wouldn't Prince Qi have to rely entirely on you?"
Cao Yuguang smiled brightly, shook his head and said: "Hey, I have 70% of his store now, and I have taken over several stores of 'Shengchuntang Pharmacy'. Who else can Prince Qi rely on if he doesn't rely on me?" ? Well, Yang Xu, he was just a flower yesterday, why should I be jealous of him? Besides, I have already guessed to some extent what he is going to do in Peking this time. Hehe, you can't care about this matter. You don't have to care about it. You shouldn’t care…”
The silver teeth of the purple vine are biting secretly, but they dare not show their obvious hatred. Although Cao Yuguang is a self-righteous fool, he also thinks highly of himself. He is not a lackey who is willing to run for a woman under her pomegranate skirt. If he knows I had a grudge against Yang Xu because of a gamble that day and wanted to use him to carry out revenge. He would definitely be very unhappy. I had just arrived in Jinan and had to rely on him. I must not make him unhappy.
Cao Yuguang smiled triumphantly, patted Ziyi Teng's buttocks, and said: "You have just arrived in Jinan, and it will be of great benefit to you to get to know more famous people. Today I went to several places for you and made appointments. Several adults are here to drink and cheer for you, Mo Kongwen, Xiao Zhuo, Li Hao, Qiu Xia... These are all important figures in Jinan officialdom. If it weren't for my father's great reputation, I wouldn't be able to invite you. Well. After a while, you cheer up and deal with it well. I will praise you like a fairy in the sky in front of them. Even if you can't win people over to become your subordinates, you don't have to disgrace me, Mr. Cao... …”
It turned out that Ziyi Teng was proud of his talents and appearance, but because of Cao Yang's bet on the day of combing, he got the lowest price for combing, and became the laughing stock of the entire Qingzhou. He really couldn't stay in Qingzhou anymore, so he begged Cao Yuguang thought of a way.
She was an official prostitute registered in the Jiaofang Division, and Cao Yanei could not redeem her status, but it was still possible to transfer her to another place, so he used some connections and transferred her to Jinan Prefecture. Unexpectedly, the enemy met on a narrow road. I unexpectedly met Xia Xun here again.
Ziyi Teng felt hatred in her heart. Suddenly she heard that one of the people mentioned by Cao Yuguang was named Qiu Xia. She couldn't help but feel happy: "Qiu Xia, isn't he the cousin of Qiu Qiu, the rich man who Yang Xu brought down in Putai County?" Brother, if I secretly reveal this news to him..."
In death penalty cases, local officials have no power to decide. They must be reported to the capital for review and decision by the Ministry of Punishment. Qiu Qiu’s case was reported to the capital and Qiu Zhan was sentenced. It is autumn now, and Qiu Qiu was just picked up from prison two days ago. He came out and chopped off his head. I heard that because of this, his cousin Qiu Xia was severely reprimanded and seemed to have lost his official status. Wouldn't he hate Yang Xu?
Ziyi Teng's eyebrows were slightly raised, and a hint of pride slowly appeared on the corners of her lips...
Some women cannot be offended. Even if you made an unintentional mistake, or you were just the object of her use from beginning to end, once she doesn't get what she wants, she will wishfully think that you have failed her and you are the one who is sorry.
Even if Zhuge Kongming was alive, she, Xia Xun, would never have guessed that there was an inexplicable enemy waiting for him in Ji'er.
