Chapter five hundred and seventieth official authority
There were several sergeants standing in the side tent, and the one sitting in front of the commander's desk in the middle was obviously You Shilu. Although he was not tall, he had a long beard, a slightly dark complexion, and wore a dark blue short-breasted jacket.
The silk robe, bright red arrow sleeves, and black leather boots are the attire of a military commander. The long sword hanging on the belt makes him look even more dignified and majestic.
When Hua Bushi and three others walked into the tent, General You was looking down at the customs clearance document in his hand, as if he had not seen the three of them at all.
Hua Bushi cupped his fists and said, "Hua Bushi is at the 'Evil Dog Gate' in Xiaxiang. See you, General You!"
During this trip to Henan, he changed his name to Shi Xiao in order to deceive others. However, this customs clearance document was originally issued by the Changsha prefecture's Yamen. It stated the reason for entrusting Wuyang City's "Evil Dog Gate" to transport official food.
Since arriving here, there is no need to hide my identity anymore.
You Shilu, who was sitting in front of the desk, still didn't even raise his eyelids, but a soldier next to him shouted: "Bold civilians, you still don't kneel down when you see our commander-in-chief!" [
A general of the fifth rank is no small official. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people should kneel down and salute when they see an official.
It’s just that Jianghu sects are not ordinary ordinary people. They are often powerful gentry who dominate one area. Many sects even have more power in the local area than the government. Therefore, if it is not in a formal court, the leaders of the Baidao sect will generally be seen.
Imperial officials only performed the so-called court etiquette and did not kneel down to worship. This is also a well-known unwritten rule.
The soldier shouted at the three of them to kneel down, obviously to give them a blow.
Hua Bushi remained silent, but Ximen Tong behind him glared at him with a cold look.
The soldier originally wanted to continue shouting, but he saw a sharp, sharp sword-like gaze directed at him, with a chilling intent. He was so frightened that he shivered several times, and then he forced himself to say what he was about to shout.
Swallowed it back into his stomach.
For a person like Ximen Tong who has practiced excellent martial arts, once he shows his murderous intention, it is easy to intimidate an ordinary soldier.
Although You Shilu, who was sitting in front of the desk, did not raise his head, he had already seen the situation in the tent, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
Hua Bushi smiled and said: "I have traveled all over the south of the Yangtze River, and I have seen many BMWs and horses, but I have never seen the horse that is as powerful as a red horse in front of the trough outside the tent.
!Coming here today is really an eye-opener. Even the red rabbit horse that Guan Gong rode during the Three Kingdoms of the Later Han Dynasty was nothing more than this!"
This young master is very good at observing faces, and his eloquence is even better. He came to see You Shilu on this trip just to ask him to be a little accommodating and let the refugees who were fleeing the famine enter Henan. He really didn't want to confront the government and the army.
Conflict. Seeing that the atmosphere in the tent was tense, You Shilu was about to explode, so he started to praise the red horse outside the door in an attempt to ease the atmosphere.
The saddle and bridle that the red horse is equipped with is obviously the favorite of Commander-in-Chief You, and it can be seen from the richness of the saddle. For those who love horses, praising his good horse is often more important than praising himself.
It makes him happy even more.
After listening to Hua Bushi's words, You Shilu's face really looked much better, and he said: "People from the Jianghu sect must have some discernment. This horse is a mount given to me by the emperor, named Taxue.
The red dragon colt can be seen from unusual places."
Hua Bushi said in admiration: "It turns out to be a BMW given by the emperor. No wonder it is so extraordinary!"
General You showed a proud look on his face, put the customs clearance document in his hand on the table with a "pop" sound, and said: "Since you have the document, you can use it to pass the customs and cross the bridge. Come and find us."
Is there anything else I can do?"
Miao Youwu took a step forward, bowed and said, "Let me tell you, Lord Commander, what happened is this. Halfway through our food escort team, we met some old acquaintances and were leaving for Henan because of the drought in our hometown.
In order to make a living in this environment, Master Hua felt soft-hearted and agreed to take them with him. Unexpectedly, more and more victims gathered along the way, and now there are nearly a thousand people following the escort team. God has a good life, we think..."
Before Miao Youwu finished speaking, You Shilu waved his hand and interrupted: "Under the orders of Mingxuan Governor Zhang Zongheng, I led the troops of Nanyang Mansion to station here. One is to intercept the Henan border.
Bandits, the second thing is to guard the Port Bridge and not allow the refugees from Hubei to enter Henan, lest they go to join the bandits. If you want to bring these many refugees across the bridge together, wouldn't you be derelict in my duty as a general?"
Miao Youwu apologized and said with a smile: "General You is exaggerating. These refugees are old, weak, women and children. They just want to find a way out in Henan. How can they go to join the bandits? My lord, let them cross the bridge."
You saved their lives by showing kindness, so who dares to say anything wrong about you?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Hua Bushi.
Hua Bushi understood it and said with a leisurely smile: "Although Sir You's snow-traveling red dragon horse is one of the best in the world, the saddle used is too ordinary. I'm afraid it's a perfect match!"
In fact, the red horse is indeed a divine horse, and the saddle it is equipped with is also a gift from the emperor. It is inlaid with gold and silver and is extremely luxurious. Hua Bushi said this, but You Shilu couldn't help but be startled and asked: "What do you mean?
What do you mean?"[
Hua Bushi didn't answer. He turned his wrist, and there was a folding fan in his hand. He opened it with a "pop" sound. The whole tent was lit up instantly, but he saw an egg-sized fan sitting on top of the fan.
Orb.
"Night Pearl!" You Shilu's eyes were wide open and shining like pearls.
/
Hua Bushi said: "This luminous pearl was accidentally obtained on an island in the South China Sea before the second half of the year. The so-called pearl matches a BMW, especially if the saddle of General Red Dragon Horse is inlaid with this pearl, it will definitely match well!"
Luminous pearls are rare things. Most ordinary luminous pearls are only the size of a fingernail. The orb Hua Bushi took out is as big as an egg and has a round color. Its value will definitely be more than a thousand taels of silver. And even if it is available, it is as big as an egg.
It’s not easy to buy such a treasure with money.
The expression on You Shilu's face suddenly became much kinder, and he grinned and said: "Young Master Hua is really thoughtful, and he actually knew that there was a jewel missing from the general's saddle. Hahaha, those refugees are just a trivial matter...
…”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pick up the luminous pearl on the paper fan, but stopped suddenly before his fingers touched it. He stared at the line of words on the paper fan, but his expression changed.
What is written on the fan is "Donglin Jieshi" in four cursive scripts, and there is also a signature of "Cao" below.
This paper fan was the one given to me by Cao Muyun at the "Happy Island" Casino in Changsha City that day. The words on the fan were written by Cao Muyun's uncle, Cao Huachun, the current factory owner of Dongchang.
Question. This flower fan is not often used, but I took it with me when I came to Yujing this time.
You Shilu retracted his hand towards Ye Mingzhu, his eyes were narrowed, but his expression was suddenly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Hua took out this bead, but do you want to bribe me?"
Hua Bushi was shocked and didn't understand why General You's expression changed so quickly. He said: "How dare you, how dare I take out this pearl. I just want to ask General You to appreciate it and appreciate it. There is no intention of bribery."
.”
You Shilu said: "I have been ordered to guard the port. I have official duties and have no time to enjoy. Master Hua, please take back the beads!"
His face was gloomy and his tone was stiff. He seemed to be a completely different person from the greedy look he had when he first saw Ye Mingzhu.
Miao Youwu Dao: "The incident of refugees crossing the bridge..."
You Shilu sneered and said: "The Governor of Mingxuan has already issued an order that the refugees from Hubei Province are not allowed to enter Henan Province. How could I know and disobey the order? You escort team can just cross the bridge by yourself. If you bring a refugee across the bridge,
, don’t blame me for being rude!”
He slapped the table, stood up, and shouted: "Send my order! Cut off the heads of all the more than 20 refugees who were caught sneaking across the river a few days ago, and hang their bodies by the river as a warning!"
Suddenly there were soldiers on the side who responded and left.
For no apparent reason, You Shilu's expression changed faster than turning the page in a book. He gave the order to kill people, which was obviously an act of killing chickens to scare monkeys. Ximen Tong's eyes flashed, and he clenched his fists with both hands, and was about to step forward.
In front of him, Hua Bushi grabbed him.
"I came here today out of malice. Could it be that General You has some misunderstanding?" Hua Bushi said.
However, You Shilu snorted coldly and said: "This general is performing official duties, so there is no misunderstanding! Someone, send these three people out of the camp!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※Half an hour later, Hua Bushi had returned to Qiaonan.
Although he knew that there must be a reason for You Shilu's sudden change of attitude, Hua Bushi tried to explain, but Commander You completely ignored him and was even more merciless. He almost drove the three of them out of the camp. And that
There is no way I can give away another luminous pearl.
It was getting late at this time, so Hua Bushi ordered to camp on the spot and wait until tomorrow to cross the bridge.[
At night, the bonfire was lit, the tents were set up, and more than twenty escort vehicles formed a circle. The disciples of the Pili camp and the escort agents of the escort agency were guarding all around. The large number of refugees behind could only
Sleeping in the woods, but fortunately it was July and the weather was hot, so sleeping in the wild was not a problem.
Hua Bushi sat cross-legged in front of the bonfire, beside him sat Yang Jiangyi and Miao Youwu, while Ximen Tong and Li Hu stood aside.
"Boss, if you want me to see, we might as well rush over and smash that camp named You to pieces!" Li Hu curled his lips and said loudly.
"There are only 500 troops in the Youshilu camp, and the Pili camp should have no problem capturing them." It was Ximen Tong who spoke, "but it is not appropriate for us to be enemies with the officers and soldiers now."
"What's wrong!" Li Hu said, "You're just too timid. If I had accompanied the boss earlier, I would have killed the dog officer named You with a sword. Now we have all crossed the bridge!"
Li Hu has always been fearless, and he has a very good impression of the government.
Hearing this murderous man's words, Miao Youwu's expression changed and he quickly said: "The officers and soldiers cannot kill them! Master Hua, I think we have no other choice now but to leave those refugees behind!"
