Chapter 112 Black eats black

After a few heavy rains, the river water surged and the water flowed rapidly. In the afternoon, Feng Aisi and his men's ship had already passed Yanshi County and arrived in Yong'an County. Yong'an was specially designated for a county because of the imperial tomb. Although it was very high in size, it was very small, with only a few hundred households. In addition to the people guarding the tombs, the county was extremely rare.

When the county was still ten miles away, the boat turned into a river. After walking for another three or five miles, I saw a row of large poplar trees on the shore, a few extremely small boats tied under the trees, and a few thatched huts were lined up on the shore.

The boatman who was raising the boat said to Feng Aishi: "Aishi, you have arrived at the ground. Mr. Song is waiting for you on the shore."

Feng Aishi bowed: "Thank you, I have met the staff, I will definitely pay you a lot!"

The boatman waved his hand quickly: "I have been with the official and have been cared for for many years. I have to do my best to what the official and ordered. I will do my best. What I do is what I deserve, why should I be polite?"

While speaking, the boat arrived under the big poplar tree, and a boatman strides ashore, took the cable and tied it to the poplar tree. The owner of the boat left the rudder, reached out and whistled. Before the whistle fell, an echo came from the thatched house.

A fat man took a few people out of the thatched hut. He saw Feng Aishi standing at the bow of the boat and laughed loudly: "I heard the magpies screaming all the time. It turns out that Aishi has arrived. Song has not come far away to welcome him. Don't blame him!"

Feng Aishi breathed a sigh of relief and replied on the boat: "The official has known me for many years, why bother to be polite!"

The boat was close to the shore, and Feng Aishi took his two men to jump off the boat and met Song Yuanwai who came.

Mr. Song took Feng Aisi's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, follow me to the house to rest! I asked the villager to kill chickens and sheep, and hold a welcome banquet for Aisi to suppress the shock!"

Seeing these two people so intimate, the man surnamed Lu and man surnamed Ding, who followed Feng Aisi, breathed a sigh of relief. The day was worried, and finally arrived at this time. Song Yuanwai was famous far and wide. Whether in the government or among the heroes in the world, he had countless connections and had great hands and eyes. When he arrived at him, he was safe.

When I arrived at the thatched hut, I saw that several large tables had been set up in the yard, with whole cooked chicken and large pieces of cooked mutton on it, and a large jar of wine was placed on each table.

Mr. Song said to Feng Aishi: "Brother, I have worked hard all the way, let me give you a cup!"

Feng Aishi said: "Brother is kind, I appreciate it. The goods placed on the boat should be moved to the yard first. That thing is too eye-catching, don't fall into the eyes of outsiders. Although my brother is quiet, it's better to be careful!"

"Brothers are careful, how can brothers not accept you?" Song Yuanwai said, waved to the shopkeeper on the side, "My sons, go and move Brother Feng's cargo on the boat in with diligent and powerful hands and feet!"

After several shopkeepers agreed, seven or eight people walked out. After a while, they carried a few boxes in.

Mr. Song put Feng Aisi's hand, walked forward, circled around several white wooden boxes, and saw that the box was locked, attached to the seal of Henan Prefecture, and used the seal of the government. Mr. Song slapped the box with his big hands and laughed to the sky: "Brothers, it's really a good method, I did this big thing! Wonderful, wonderful! Come on, brother toast a few of you with a bowl of wine!"

After saying that, he walked to the table and had already had a shopkeeper who opened a wine jar and filled the four large bowls with wine.

Feng Aishi took his two subordinates forward, picked up the bowl, and said to Mr. Song: "Thank you for your fulfillment!"

After drinking, Mr. Song invited the three of them to sit down, without using chopsticks, and directly grabbed the fat chicken and mutton in the basin and ate and drank.

What I did today was the sin of beheading, both fatigue and fear. Feng Aisi and the other two were really tired. At this time, they relaxed and drank and ate meat.

Those shopkeepers moved all the boxes on the boat into the yard without much time.

Song Yuanwai looked at the pile of boxes, and was happy. He talked about the rumors in the world recently.

After drinking this wine for half an hour, Feng Aishi had something in his stomach and calmed down.

There is no airtight wall in the world, and paper cannot contain the fire. Feng Aisi has been in the yamen for many years. He knew the government's methods and knew in his heart that the three of them could not stay in Henan Prefecture. At this time, Longmen Town and Xijing City must have had a quarrel. Luoyang is a major royal city. More than a dozen people died at a time and were robbed of one or two thousand tanzhes of money. This case must have been in the court. In less than two days, Henan Prefecture and even the people who work as officials in the surrounding prefectures and counties will go out everywhere to find clues and investigate. Such important cases will be taken out by the government, which will be the means of chasing them every three days and every five days. They will not be afraid of the case. People who work as officials in the prefectures and counties will inevitably get beaten on their butts. Even for their own sake, the public officials and servants dare not do their best.

The big net is about to be spread out, and you must escape from the net before, otherwise you may never be able to leave.

After drinking two more bowls of wine, Feng Aishi told Mr. Song: "I haven't seen my brother for a long time. My brother really thought about it. I wish I could live here for a month or two. I would eat and sleep with my brother every day, and say something about my own things. But the case I did this time was too big and I couldn't stay in Henan Prefecture anymore. The three of us must rush to the outside of the country to go to the outer city army."

Mr. Song said: "Brother is saying. Have you decided to go there?"

"It's not decided yet, everything is left with Henan Prefecture and discuss. I have good brothers on Hedong Road and Jinghu Road, and I may go wherever I go. Besides, I heard that the junction between Shaanxi Road and Dangxiang is not peaceful. It's the time to use people. We brothers may even go there, so let's see everything on the road."

"Okay, okay, brother is here to the place and send a letter to my brother to report peace so that he can't worry about me."

Feng Aisi had no idea and drank another bowl of wine. Seeing that Mr. Song did not carry the copper coins in the box, he had to ask: "Brother, we are short of some money on the road, so we mortgaged the copper coins to my brother. How about using them on the road?"

This was something that was agreed upon in advance. Mr. Song nodded repeatedly: "Of course, this should be the case. These copper coins are too heavy. How can you take them on the road? You can wait a moment, and I will let the young people take out gold and silver for you to use on the road."

After saying that, he whispered to the shopkeeper standing on the side: "Go and get some silver for Brother Feng, and do some money on the way!"

The shopkeeper agreed and turned around and entered the thatched hut.

Feng Aishi always felt something was wrong, and Mr. Song didn't count it. How could he know how much silver he had to exchange for himself?

After a while, two shopkeepers came out of the house, each of whom held a plate with red silk covered it.

When he arrived at the table, Mr. Song asked the shopkeeper to uncover the red silk, and saw that one plate was filled with three large silver ingots, and the other plate was filled with three neatly folded new clothes.

Feng Aishi looked at the plate, turned to look at Mr. Song, and asked in disbelief: "Brother, what is this?"

Song Yuanwai said aloud: "Brothers, we should take these silver coins on the way! Your clothes are not easy to wear on your body. Let the young people take a bath and change into new clothes before leaving!"

Feng Aishi looked at the three big silver ingots on the plate in a daze, unable to believe his eyes. After a while, he said to Mr. Song: "Brother, the three big silver ingots on the plate are only one hundred and fifteen taels."

Mr. Song stretched out his big hand and patted Feng Aishi on the shoulder: "Why do we have to care about how much of it? Each person has fifty taels of silver, and you can go anywhere in the world! Whether you go to Hedong Road or Jinghu Road, or even Shaanxi Road!"

Feng Aishi was stunned for a while when he looked at the two plates, and his heart rose up in anger. He could no longer bear it. He stood up suddenly and slapped the table: "Song Jiu, you are going to bully us brothers! There are a total of 1,400 ounces of copper coins in those boxes, and you can get more than 1,000 taels of silver. You will be dismissed by 150 taels?!"

Mr. Song sighed: "Why do we brothers say this? In this world, we are not as good as before. We can't spend money even if we have copper coins in our hands. We can't exchange them for so much! Now when we are doing transactions outside, we have to go to the money shop for more than ten cents of coins. The money is included in the household and the private storage is still sued. It's also difficult for me! Brother, think about my brother's difficulties. Where can you exchange these copper coins for more than one thousand taels of silver? I'll just accept it with my brother's friendship. Why do you still think it's too much? If you don't want to, just take these copper coins away, and my brother will never stop you!"

After hearing this, Feng Aisi was so angry that he trembled all over and said coldly: "Song Jiu, how many years have we had, I don't know your methods? You took these copper coins, but they just melted them and recast the bronze ware. That's much more expensive than money! I don't want much, just give it to me at half the market price. Five or six hundred taels of silver, you still have something to make!"

"Sales money as a tool, and you also risk beheading your head! Brother Oasi, how many children of my subordinates want to eat, but it's not easy! The silver is here. If you are willing, you will take your new clothes and leave, we will still be good brothers! If you don't want to, I will not break the rules of the heroes in the world. If you keep this money, I will give you accommodation here, and all the food and drinks are considered to be my brother. When will I want to leave? I will hold a banquet to give you it! How about?"

If you can stay, why should Feng Aisi ask for this local snake? Unexpectedly, many years of friendship are not worth a penny in front of real money and silver. He took advantage of his own trouble and was cheated by Song Jiu once.

The two men named Lu and Ding behind him were flushed and almost spit out their fire. They stood up together. Seeing that Song Yuanwai looked fearless, Feng Aishi reached out and pressed his two brothers.
