Chapter 019 Good People During the Day Are Thieves at Night?
The county magistrate and the county lieutenant are the county magistrate's assistant officials. They are official positions within the imperial court and need to be appointed by the imperial court. However, they can also be recommended by the following. As long as enough money is paid, the county government can appoint them directly. All it takes is the person's information and
After the money is ready, just send it to Luoyang for filing. It must be said that Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong has perfected this trading system to the point of providing perfect service.
Jingxian County is thousands of miles away from Luoyang. If Zhu Hansan were to carry the gold to Luoyang, he would be robbed by strong men on the way. But he did not dare to let Liu Yao do it.
Once, that time he still came to ask for punishment; secondly, it was three hundred gold, not just a few coins. He didn't believe that Liu Yao wouldn't be tempted. In this dim age, if someone kills you, it probably won't matter.
People are in charge, let alone greedy for your money. Thirdly, Zhu Hansan also plans to take advantage of this outing to see if he can escape with his family.
After much thought, Zhu Hansan decided to go to Luoyang himself.
Just when Zhu Hansan made up his mind and asked someone to prepare the vehicle, Zhang Bao led someone to the door.
"Haha...where is Shopkeeper Zhu going?"
Zhang Bao looked at the carriage that had been prepared in front of the shop and said with a smile.
"Of course I followed your wishes and went to Luoyang to seek an official position."
Facing this man, Zhu Hansan's mood became extremely heavy. It was precisely because of him that he embarked on this path. Judging from what Zhang Bao said yesterday, he should be shady, but why is he so
Zhu Hansan couldn't understand why he appeared here so grandly, and he didn't bother to think about it. He just replied lightly.
"Well, it's time to set off. But, Luoyang is not far from here, and it's an official route. There's no need for so many people to go, right?"
Zhang Bao looked at the crowd, "Hey guys, Chenxiang Pavilion has almost sent out most of its manpower," and he chuckled immediately.
"A thousand miles is not far away? What if I meet a strong man on the way? How can I, with my little arms and legs, be my opponent? I'm just a mud-legged person. If I die, I will die. But if I get your old box of gold in vain, it will be useless."
It’s a bit unreasonable, isn’t it?”
During this trip, Zhu Hansan planned to leave with his mother and Zhang's mother and son to see if there was a chance to leave this place of right and wrong. But looking at Zhang Bao's appearance, it seemed that he knew something in advance. When he thought about it, Zhu Hansan suddenly became angry.
, turned to look at the work behind him. Everyone was frightened by Zhu Hansan's wolf-like eyes. They lowered their heads and said nothing. After scanning their own work, Zhu Hansan replied in a sinister manner.
"That's right, this road is not peaceful and there should be people to protect you, but your guys can't do it. How about I send some people to escort you to ensure your safety on the road?"
Zhang Bao seemed not to see Zhu Hansan's angry eyes and smiled.
"No need, I'll be there on the road to keep my boss safe."
Zhang Liao took a step forward and said in a deep voice.
"Is that true?"
Zhang Bao's eyes were full of fierceness. He first glanced at Zhang Liao, a young man who was not afraid of death, then turned to look at Zhu Hansan and asked with a half-smile.
"Wenyuan, please step back!"
Zhu Hansan pulled Zhang Liao behind him, looked at Zhang Bao with complicated eyes, and replied coldly: "Since Mr. Zhang is so determined, I will let you arrange my guard along the way!"
"Young man, you are still too young. I told you yesterday that there are many spies outside your shop. How dare you travel so blatantly today? You are really desperate. Fortunately, I am here, but this road may not be smooth.
Hello boy

Do it for yourself!”
Zhang Bao leaned close to Zhu Han's ear, and after taunting him softly, he ordered a big man behind him: "Yuanfu, take twenty brothers to escort shopkeeper Zhu to Luoyang. Remember, you must protect him.
"
"I obey my orders!"
The tall man with a beard glanced at Zhang Liao, then clasped his fists and agreed.
"Son, please pay attention to safety on the road. Mom is waiting for you at home."
Zhu's mother had long sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere. She took Zhu Hansan's hand and said softly: "Mother, I don't know how you offended those masters. Take this opportunity to go out and go as far as you can. Don't come back again."
.”
"Mother...you..."
Zhu Hansan's chest was like a huge stone, but he swallowed back what he was about to say. He looked at his only relative silently for a long time and said in a deep voice: "You are my mother. Wherever you are, I will be there. My son is just going out."
Don't worry, mother, to do some things. This trip may be as long as three months or as short as one month. I will definitely come back."
"You!"
Mother Zhu's eyes turned red and moist, and she sighed and stopped talking.
"Sister Zhang, after I go out, you will be in charge of the affairs of Chenxiang Pavilion temporarily." After Zhu Hansan told Mrs. Zhang, he looked at his clerks and said indifferently: "Since you have entered my Chenxiang Pavilion, you are my Chenxiang Pavilion."
People in the Pavilion, you must help Sister Zhang and take good care of the Chenxiang Pavilion."
"yes!"
Zhu Hansan trembled all over, patted Zhang Liao's arm, looked at his mother again, and chuckled: "Wen Yuan is coming with me. Mother, please go back to the house. It's cold outside."
With a trace of reluctance and longing for the outside world, Zhu Hansan got into the carriage and let Zhang Liao drive him out of the city.
Since coming to this world, Zhu Hansan has never been so tired. In just one month, he has seen the methods of those big guys. He originally thought that he could make a name for himself with the advanced skills of later generations.
Unexpectedly, he fell into the whirlpool of power struggle. He couldn't help but feel mixed emotions in his heart. Especially when he saw his mother's sad look, Zhu Hansan wanted to slap himself a few times. He hated himself for jumping out so quickly and entering those...
In the eyes of a big shot, wouldn't it be good to stay in the Zhang Mansion and work as a part-time worker?
In the evening, by the Zhangshui River.
"Brother Yuanfu! Where are we?"
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhu Hansan shouted to the leader. After a day of getting along, Zhu Hansan also knew the name of the big man with a beard. This man was also a famous person. His surname was Zhou Mingcang, and his surname was Yuanfu.
"Shopkeeper Zhu, we have just entered Kuizhang County."
Zhou Cang turned around and replied.
"Brother Yuanfu, you see it's getting late, how about we find a place to rest for the night?"
Zhu Hansan had been riding in a carriage for a whole day, and his bones were almost falling apart. He rubbed his sore arms and said with a smile: "Look, there is a village not far ahead. Why don't we stay overnight?"
"good!"
Zhou Cang didn't say much. He nodded and said that after he knew it, he led the people towards the village.
The group of people only had a carriage, and the others were all on foot. It would take at least a month to reach Luoyang. Zhu Hansan was already traveling this time, so the group's speed was not very fast.
The village is not big, only about forty or fifty households. It is located next to the Zhang River, and it really feels like a paradise.
As soon as the group of people arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a group of people holding sticks pouring out of the village. Looking at their clothes and puddings covering puddings, they must have been living a very happy life.

Distinguish suffering.
"I am Zhu Hansan, a businessman from Guojing County, Anping. It is getting late and I happen to be passing by your village. I have come here with my friends to stay overnight. Please do it for your convenience."
Zhu Hansan cupped his fists and smiled at the villagers.
"Little old man Zhang San is the elder of this village. It is a blessing for this village that this old man can stay in our village. Please come in."
An old man walked out of the crowd and smiled kindly.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your understanding. We won't live here in vain. Mr. Zhang can just take the money and arrange two rooms for us and some water, wine and food."
Zhu Hansan took out a bunch of copper coins from his arms and handed them to Zhang San, smiling.
"How can this be done? The master has given too much. I can't accept it, I can't accept it!"
"Hey, it's just a small amount of money. It's not worth mentioning. I just want to express my feelings."
After some negotiation between the two, Zhang San happily accepted the money.
After entering the village, Zhu Hansan always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Zhang San was also quite practical and arranged the group of them into two large wooden houses in the center of the village. Zhu Hansan, Zhang Liao, and Zhou
They lived in one room, and the other guards lived in another room. The meals were quickly delivered, including some fish from the river, wild vegetables, etc., which looked pretty good.
"Wenyuan, do you feel something is wrong? I always feel uncomfortable!"
Zhu Hansan sat on the box and said with a frown.
"Boss, are you sick?"
Zhang Liao said in confusion.
"Forget it, let's take a rest after dinner. We have to go on the road tomorrow."
Seeing that Zhang Liao also had a confused look on his face, Zhu Hansan picked up his chopsticks and was about to start.
"If you want to die, just eat!"
Just when a piece of fish meat was about to enter his mouth, Zhou Cang's cold voice came.
"Zhou Cang, I think you are looking for death?"
Zhang Liao became angry when he heard this, and stood up to teach Zhou Cang a lesson, but was stopped by Zhu Hansan.
"Brother Yuanfu, what's wrong?"
Zhu Hansan was so angry in his heart, he thought to himself that his mood had finally improved, but Zhou Cang, a rude man, said this without warning, and the fish tasted no longer fragrant.
"You have a good feeling. There is indeed something wrong with this village."
Zhou Cang took out the waist knife, ignored Zhang Liao, wiped it carefully with a rag, and replied.
"Oh? I feel something is wrong too, but I just don't know what is wrong. Please tell me, Brother Yuanfu."
Zhu Hansan was stunned when he saw this, his heart suddenly hit him, and he asked quickly.
"Shopkeeper Zhu, didn't you notice that there are no women or children in this village? Even the old man, we only saw one Zhang San."
Zhou Cang grinned, showing two rows of big yellow teeth, and said with a smile: "If what I expected is true, this village is a gangster den."
"What?"
Zhu Hansan was shocked when he heard this. He was about to scream, but then he was afraid of being discovered. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand and walked up to Zhou Cang. He asked nervously: "Brother Yuanfu, please don't talk nonsense!"
"Hey, I've been traveling around with my brothers for many years, and I still have this kind of vision. If Shopkeeper Zhu doesn't believe it, he can ask you, the little brother, to go out and catch a living creature and bring it back. After feeding it those meals, you will know.
.”
Zhou Cang's eyes showed disdain, and after pouting at Zhang Liao, he mocked.
