After picking up Shu Hongfang, Jin Qing put all the golden melon seeds in his pocket.
Then he picked up Shu Hongfang and walked towards the busiest street in the border town.
Shu Hongfang covered his swollen head. He felt so dizzy!
Seeing Jin Qing passing by several large inns, Shu Hongfang couldn't help but remind Jin Qing, "It will get dark soon. I think the inn I just passed by is pretty good."
Jin Qing's steps paused slightly, and his brows furrowed even more tightly, "That didn't work just now."
Shu Hongfang's voice was a little confused, "Why not? I think it's good!"
It looks clean and there are a lot of people there to eat, why not stay there.
Jin Qing's expression was quite serious, "His family wants money!"
This is simply unforgivable.
Shu Hongfang ""Otherwise!
That pigsty is free, so why doesn’t Jin Qing go in?
No, Jin Qing will definitely not move in by himself, for fear of dragging him along.
Shu Hongfang curled his lips and said, "Jin Qing, where are we going!"
He is really sleepy and tired now and wants nothing more than rest.
Jin Qing looked around and said, "Robbing the rich and giving to the poor!"
Shu Hongfang was silent for a moment, "Are we the poor you are talking about?"
Jin Qing chuckled, "It's me."
Shu Hongfang: "What about me?" Why do I feel like I am excluded by Jin Qing?
Unexpectedly, Jin Qing suddenly replied without thinking, "You are a traitor. You must realize that all the money in the world belongs to you."
Shu Hongfang "Thank you. Thanks to you, now I not only don't want to be a treacherous minister, I don't even want to be a minister to others."
If it weren't for the blood feud that had yet to be avenged, he would have even wanted to go back to the bottom of the cliff to find Kong Zi
The border town has been subject to war all year round.
The Tatars outside the city invaded the border town twice a year. Even with General An guarding them, the lives of the people in the border town were very tight.
Jin Qing searched for a long time before finally finding a little clue.
Gorgeous building.
Jin Qing's eyes lit up, he picked up Shu Hongfang and walked there.
At the same time, he did not forget to remind Shu Hongfang, "This doesn't look like a good place. I'll do it when I get in later. You are responsible for finding the valuable things inside."
Shu Hongfang was about to retort, but was stunned when he saw the plaque on the door.
That's the county government!
In the county government office, the prefect and the magistrate of the border town are hosting a banquet for General An.
With smiles on their faces, the two men carefully served General An for dinner.
General An's expression was extremely grim, and he seemed to be ready to overturn the table at all times.
Behind General An, there were two guards wearing armor and swords hanging on their waists.
The two guards had cold expressions on their faces, their hands on their long knives, and they looked at the prefect and county magistrate at the table fiercely.
It seemed like he was ready to pounce on the person and chop him into pieces at any time.
Although it was a banquet, I felt very nervous after eating.
General An rubbed the wine glass with his fingers, with an expression on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. "They say it's only one catty of rice and two taels of wine. With this food, I don't know how much money I can help you make."
To say that today's meal is a Hongmen Banquet would be putting it mildly.
Since ancient times, it has been a common practice to withhold military rations.
Your Majesty likes to have fun, so the grain and grassland approved are not much at all.
There were also layers of exploitation by officials, and 20% had already been deducted when leaving the capital.
If 60% of the grain and grass can be left after being sent from the capital to the border towns, it will be considered a courtesy to the grain transport officials and officials of the various states.
Not only the food and grass, but also the cotton-padded clothes and weapons were all tampered with.
A few years ago, a heavy snowstorm froze many soldiers to death. General An tore open the soldiers' cotton-padded jackets and found that many of the cotton-padded jackets were stuffed with reed catkins that did not keep warm.
As for that
These are weapons filled with lead and cannot be brought to the battlefield at all.
Many times, General An felt that except for him, all officials seemed to be looking forward to the subjugation of the country.
As for the two guys in front of me, the murderous look in General An's eyes is simply too deceiving!
In the past, the military rations were only reduced by 40 to 50%. If we save one province, we can still survive the winter.
But this year's military rations are only 30% left.
The explanation given by the prefect was that there was less military rations delivered this year and some were damaged on the road.
General An originally thought of pinching his nose and endured it, but he took out his own money and went around to buy some.
Unexpectedly, the magistrate's brother-in-law's lost grain and grass were found on his carriage when he was out of town on a business trip.
When sending food and grass out of the city, there is no other thought except to help the enemy.
Not to mention, they actually used his military rations.
Therefore, General An directly suppressed him with people and food, and at the same time prepared to write a letter to the emperor.
But the memorial was suppressed by the prefect, which led to today's banquet.
This is the crime of annihilating nine tribes!
Especially nowadays, His Majesty likes to raid homes and make money. If he catches them, the whole family will be executed in a matter of seconds.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, General An became even more sarcastic, "I didn't know that my military rations could bring so much benefit to these two adults."
The prefect and the county magistrate looked at each other, silently picked up their glasses and drank down the wine in one gulp.
At this moment, they didn't know what to say.
General An poured the wine in the glass on the ground. "Although An is not very capable, he also knows that the country cannot be touched at all. An has no shame to drink this glass of wine. It is just right to commemorate the soldiers who died of starvation and freezing."
The prefect and the county magistrate still didn't speak, they just filled the wine glasses again.
General An sneered repeatedly, "You two adults are so good. You know that I can't tolerate you, but you can't hold back and don't ask for mercy."
>
Although the civil and military attributes were different, it was still very easy for him, a first-level general, to kill two low-level officials.
He didn't take action, just because he didn't want to arouse His Majesty's fear.
If he really takes action rashly, I don't think anyone will blame him for killing innocent officials indiscriminately.
At that time, everything that makes sense becomes unreasonable.
The prefect and the county magistrate still didn't speak. They just picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, then filled it up again.
Seeing the two of them looking calm and composed, General An angrily grabbed the wine bottle and threw it on the ground, "I really want to dig out your hearts and see what color they are."
General An stood up as he spoke and wanted to reach out to pull the prefect's collar.
But as soon as I got up, I felt dizzy.
The two guards standing behind him were about to step forward to help him, but whoever tried to move immediately fell to the ground.
Knowing that something was wrong, General An subconsciously held the table and said, "You, you guys"
He was afraid that he had been poisoned!
The magistrate and the magistrate looked at each other and smiled. Finally, it was the magistrate who spoke first, "Sir, your cartilage is colorless and tasteless. It really works. I admire you."
The magistrate's laughter was full of pride, "What Mr. Liu is saying is that my cartilage smells like a human being, even a tiger will lie limply at my feet, hahaha."
General An managed to hold himself up: "You drugged me, General."
The prefect's face was full of pride, "It's not medicine, it's the incense in the room."
Then he touched the wine glass with his hand, "What I and Mr. Liu just drank was the antidote."
Pouring the wine into his mouth, the magistrate turned the glass upside down and said, "Now, it's gone."
Wait until the man named An is killed and see who can stop him from getting rich in the future.
Feeling that he could no longer hold on, General An gathered all his strength and strangled the prefect's neck.
But the magistrate hit him with a vase on the back of his head and he fell down softly.
