Ten days later, the troops successfully arrived in Nanman Province. Because part of Nanman Province is located on the front line of coastal defense, there are a lot of troops stationed in Nanman Province. In addition to the air force, there are also hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the navy and the army.
.
Therefore, there are many government offices in Fuzhou City, the capital of Nanman Province. There are the Navy Admiral's Office, the General Military Office, the Governor's Office, the Governor's Office, Ducha Dao... stationed in Fuzhou City.
Moreover, the fiefdom of King Shuntian was actually also in Nanman Province. King Shuntian Luo Yixiao and the current Emperor Yu were serious brothers. Therefore, the palace of King Shuntian was stationed in Fuzhou City.
Of course, although there are not a few troops stationed there and there are many yamen, Nanman Province is a big province, almost as big as a dozen Arkansas counties.
Daozi County borders the Fire Orchid Kingdom and is at the very edge of Nanman Province. Therefore, it would take nearly twenty days to ride a fast horse from Fuzhou, the provincial capital, to Daozi County.
Therefore, this place became a border area between old and young. It became a place that even the provincial capital could not cover. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for the Fire Orchid Kingdom to occupy it.
Because Fuzhou City is on the front line of coastal defense and intersects with many countries, the city wall of Fuzhou City is built very high, up to thirty or forty meters high, and is also very thick. It can withstand the full attack of Qigang Realm powerhouses for a period of time.
.
Tang Chun first had to report to the Nanman Province General Military Mansion, and also had to go to the Nanman Governor's Mansion and the Governor-General's Mansion. He first found a vacant place and set up a tent. He had all his men settled, and he was about to prepare.
After getting enough sleep, the fat man came in and said that someone from the General Military Mansion had come to send a message, asking Tang Chun to come over immediately.
"They are quite well informed," Tang Chun said.
"This is normal. As soon as we enter the city, we have to pass through the city gate. If the flying eagle passes the message, we will be there in a few minutes. But, how do they know that we are stationed on the grass?" The fat man was a little confused about this.
"Someone is watching." Tang Chun sneered.
"Who is it? This is our first time in Fuzhou City in Nanman Province. I don't know anyone with a big butt." The fat man asked.
"Didn't you forget that Sun Tian, the dead ghost who beheaded me in the Kyoto Inn, said he had a relative in the Nanman General Military Mansion?" Tang Chun snorted coldly.
"If this person is really staring at you, you might be in trouble this time." The fat man heard this and snorted.
"You can't hide what's coming. Anyway, if you stick your head out or shrink your head, it's just a knife. Since they are forcing you to come over, let's go over and see the relatives of that damn ghost." Tang Chun snorted coldly. Afterwards, Tang Chun took Fatty Mei Tieyan with him.
The three of them, including Bao Yi, went straight to the Yamen of the General Military Mansion.
However, the four of them had just turned a few corners. The street in front of them was crowded with people and there was a traffic jam. Tang Chun and the other three had to dismount and lead their horses to try to squeeze through.
"It's very lively inside. I don't know what's going on. Let's take a look at the excitement before talking." The fat guy looked around with his narrow eyes. He gave the horse rope to Mei Tieyan and squeezed in.
.
"I'm talking about you kid. If you miss reporting, I'll spank you." Tang Chun laughed and scolded. But the fat man was very strong and had already squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.
Tang Chun and the others had no choice but to wait.
"Brother, what happened?" Bao Yi asked passerby Jia next to him.
"Haha. Someone has enough to eat and has nothing to do. He actually offered a reward for his defeat." Passerby A laughed, stretching his neck and looking interested.
"Oh, what's the competition? How much is the bonus?" Tang Chun also became a little interested and asked with a smile.
"It's pretty good. It's a riddle. In other words, if you stump him with an answer, you can get a reward of 10 taels of silver immediately." Passerby A laughed and said, "Oh, there are too many people and I can't squeeze in. It's really unlucky."
"Ten taels of silver is a lot." Bao Yi said with a smile. Suddenly, Tang Chun and the other three lost interest, mainly because they thought the silver taels were too little. In fact, it was a lot. An ordinary citizen of the Dayu Dynasty had a family of five for one year.
The living expenses are only about ten taels of silver.
"Brother Chun, brother Chun, come in quickly. This guy is so arrogant. I was actually attacked by him after we had a couple. It's really annoying." The fat man's voice came from inside.
"Forget it, let's leave quickly." Tang Chun said.
"No, this guy won't leave unless it's difficult for him. Ma Bidi, you dare to challenge me, fat brother." The fat man yelled quite dissatisfied. Tang Chun had no choice but to squeeze in.
I found a very handsome young scholar-like man sitting in front of a desk. He raised a cloth flag with a bamboo pole behind his back and wrote a letter - Guess the riddle. If you lose, 10 taels of silver will be thanked. The signature is signed below.
"Brother Chun, you have a smart mind and you can guess this guy to death." When the fat man saw Tang Chun come in, he pulled his sleeve and said.
At this time, someone else next to him volunteered to ask the riddle. However, Minami Tsuko really had some skills and the basic answer to the riddle was solved in half a minute.
A beautiful maid-like woman angrily returned to her master, flanked by a woman wearing a veil. Her figure was quite attractive.
"Girl, if your answer can stump me, I will add an additional 50 taels of silver." Nan Zhongzi glanced at the two masters and servants, shook his paper fan, and smiled like a master.
"Miss, come out quickly." The little maid was anxious.
The lady whispered in the maid's ear, and the maid stepped forward and spoke again. However, Nan Zhongzi shook his head slightly and immediately revealed the mystery. The maid was so angry that she had to return to the lady's side in depression.
"If Miss Nan Zhongzi can defeat Nan Zhongzi, I will receive 300 taels of silver." Nan Zhongzi was even more proud, shaking his paper fan and inspecting the busybodies around him.
"Little sister, if you can't do it, I, Brother Chun, can do it." The fat man spoke before Tang Chun nodded. This was to force Tang Chun to appear.
"Brother Chun, who can do what our young lady can't do? Who can't brag?" the maid retorted with a pouted mouth.
"Brother Chun, go ahead and slap this girl hard on the face." The fat man said angrily.
"If this young man can stump him, I will give him a hundred taels of silver." Unexpectedly, the young lady also said this, and seemed to be really angry at the fat man.
"Haha, Nan Zhongzi. Let me ask you, what animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening?" Tang Chun asked with a calm smile.
"Well, yes, what kind of animal..."
"Can this animal still change? It's impossible."
"How can there be such an animal? It's just trying to get money."
Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion.
But Nan Zhongzi actually stopped shaking the fan at this moment, and he was scratching his head with all his heart. Can you think of the riddles that modern people have come up with? Tang Chun sneered in his heart.
"Nan Zhongzi, if you can't guess, just admit defeat." The fat man said with a proud smile.
"I'm afraid the young man who created the riddle doesn't know what the answer is, either?" the masked lady snorted coldly.
"Yes, there is no answer at all." Nan Zhongzi said quickly.
"Haha, the answer to this mystery is actually there. And there are many." Tang Chun smiled when he saw that everyone's appetite was whetted.
"Impossible, why are there so many at our site?" the maid mumbled.
"What a human being." Tang Chun said with a smile.
"Of course there are a lot of people. How does your answer have anything to do with people?" Nan Zhongzi asked.
"Yeah, what does it have to do with you?" The maid also asked. But the fat brother didn't dare to say anything at this moment. He thought Tang Chun was deceiving others. He probably didn't even understand himself.
"The answer to the riddle I'm talking about is 'human'. Think about it. When a person is on all fours as a child, is he crawling? When he becomes an adult, his legs become stronger, is he 'walking' on two legs? When his body becomes weak in old age, is he walking?
Not walking with a cane? And when I talk about morning, noon and evening, I actually mean that a person's life is divided into three periods. Do you think I, Tang Chun, am making sense?" Tang Chun asked with high spirits and a loud laugh.
"It really makes sense..."
"Absolutely amazing, absolutely amazing..."
"I lost, here are three hundred taels." Nan Zhongzi glanced at Tang Chun lightly and took out three hundred taels.
"I also have a hundred taels here, take it." The beautiful maid pouted angrily and came to Tang Chun.
"Hahaha, guessing riddles is just for fun. Everyone, we have something to do, so let's go first." Tang Chun smiled calmly, turned around and left, and the crowd opened a path.
"Did you see, this Brother Chun is my eldest brother? How about it? He's awesome." The fat man proudly puffed up his chest and turned around to follow.
After arriving at the General Military Mansion, they were told that Daozi County was under the jurisdiction of guerrilla general Li Zhou. After asking General Li's government office, Tang Chun and others turned around again.
Big Er from Lizhou looks very imposing. The guerrilla general in this military headquarters is from the third rank. He is also a powerful figure in the Nanman Province military headquarters.
Tang Chun had just stood up after seeing him, but Li Zhou suddenly slammed the table and hummed: "Drag Tang Chun down and hit thirty more boards first."
"General Li, I have worked tirelessly and traveled hundreds of thousands of miles to lead troops from the distant capital. Now I am reporting to the General Military Mansion before I even take a sip of tea when I sit down. So, General Li, please tell me why you hit me?"
Tang Chun asked quickly. He always felt that the thin-faced guy sitting next to him looked familiar. However, he had never met this person before.
"Hitting you would be a minor blow. This is just the beginning." The thin-faced man next to General Li snorted coldly.
"Excuse me, who is the master of the General Military Mansion?" Tang Chun asked.
"Tang Chun, he is Mr. Sun, the Xuanfu envoy of the General Military Office." General Li snorted coldly.
"Master Sun, I don't understand what you mean by this?" Tang Chun asked, knowing in his heart that this person was the relative of Sun Gui who was beheaded by him in public.
"You are so bold, Tang Chun. You didn't show court discipline. You openly colluded with bandits. Do you dare to say that the Jiuhuangu people led by Bao Yi didn't repeatedly rob passing merchants and gather people to attack the mountain of Tangniu County?
Thief?
According to our investigation and implementation, Bao Yi gathered numerous times to rob passing merchants, and if he refused, he would kill people with a knife. Now he has committed numerous crimes. Moreover, attacking the Chaoting Yamen is an act against the Chaoting.
Logically speaking, for this kind of person, you should assist the local government in eradicating them. As a result, not only did you not do so, but you actually joined forces with them. What you did was clearly a collusion between officials and thieves, and in the end, you wanted to occupy Daozi County for your enjoyment.
From then on, you further gathered troops to capture Fuzhou City and even the Yu Dynasty. Tang Chun, you have committed the serious crime of rebelling against the imperial court and colluding with bandits, and you should be executed according to law." Sun Gang suddenly became more arrogant. (To be continued...
