The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 275

Even if the Liao people are the leaders, they don't live very well.Most of the entire Guangnan West Road area lives in fences.Yunyan had seen it once when she was back in Guizhou, but because there was a lot of trade with the Han people there, Shi Meilan still had furniture in her home.

As for the leader of the Liao people, there are no tables, chairs or beds in the room, and everyone is sitting and lying on the ground.Moreover, the houses here are divided into two floors, and the ground floor is empty to raise livestock.At the same time, direct contact with wet ground is also avoided.

There is a saying that when it rains, it will be cold and sunny, regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter.It can be seen how the environment is.

Yun Yanhui was taken to the home of the leader of the Liao people here. Although he had been untied, he still secretly pointed his weapon at him as a precaution.

The leader wore a blue scarf on his head, sat on the cowhide mat, looked at Yunyan a few times, and said a few words in local language.Yun Yan didn't understand, but she was very calm. Sure enough, the next moment, the person next to her translated in awkward Miao language.

"You are a cat person, why are you wearing Han clothes and hanging out with Han people?"

Miao people are also called cat people. Yun Yanhui naturally knew it and was not surprised. He called himself "Shishan" and explained: "In recent years, the government has moved many Han people to Guangnan. They have a lot of living needs. , We have white cloth and dried fish in the village, and we exchange things with the Han people. I dress like this to facilitate business.”

As she said that, Yun Yanhui carefully took out the Miao medicine that was kept close to her body, and showed them that this local person recognized him, and the Miao people never sold this medicine to outsiders, which further proved Yun Yanhui's identity.

The leader showed a bit of jealousy, and said something, which was not translated, but Yunyan guessed it back, probably talking about the shrewd cat man.

The Tu people don't have the concept of doing business exclusively, they think that Yunyanhui is dedicated to exchanging supplies for all the villagers.From this point of view, this person still has some status among them.

However, this can only make the Liao people not to abuse him slowly, they don't plan to just play Yunyan back like this.

On the contrary, the leader's eyes flashed brightly, and he asked forcefully, "You didn't tell the truth. You were arrested at the post station. Do you think we don't know where the post station is? You need to find officials from other places to exchange things with the Han people." ?"

This "Shi Shan" was really embarrassed, and said: "This is not your business..."

"If you don't tell the truth, then we can't let you go. How can there be concealment between brothers?"

Brother, that was all when we rebelled together.Yunyan glanced back at him, and said reluctantly: "I want to sell the dried fish elsewhere. My mother-in-law's sister married a Han postman as a concubine. He said to go north, the Han people I like to eat dried fish, and they are extremely expensive to sell. We eat dried fish for free at home, and we can’t exchange much for it when we take it down the mountain, but those Han people are willing to pay a high price for it.”

The leader showed an expression of disbelief, "How is it possible, are the Han people stupid? Don't they know how to make dried fish themselves?"

"But they don't know how to make Hehuayu," Yunyan Hui said plausibly, "It is a fish raised in rice fields. They named it Hehuayu. Some people raise fish like this in the north and make a lot of money. Money. But there are not enough fish, and they are not as good as ours. I think, if they are sold to the north, they will definitely make money."

Speaking of this, the leader is already dubious.Although he doesn't know what's going on with the Han people, but this cat man speaks clearly and clearly, it doesn't look like there is a fake.

The leader went back again and asked about Yunyan's return to Guizhou. Yunyan answered fluently and truthfully. He even knew the situation of Shi Meilan's family in detail. The leader still didn't believe it.Looking at Yunyan's delicate skin and tender meat, and being brother-in-law with Han officials, the conditions must be good.

While the leader was thinking, Yun Yan hurriedly said: "My brother-in-law is still in your hands, and he was injured. Although he is a Han Chinese, he is relative to me anyway. Can you treat his injury? ?”

The leader rolled his eyes a few times and said with a smile: "Although it is very difficult, we don't have much medicine after all... But, yes, for your sake."

As soon as he gave the order, someone went to the original room, brought Zhou Huilin over, took the antidote, and applied it to him internally and externally.

Yun Yan did not speak to Zhou Huilin, fearing that someone who knew Chinese would reveal his secrets, so she hurriedly stepped forward and called him in deliberately vague and distorted Chinese: "Brother-in-law, how are you?"

Zhou Huilin froze for a moment, "..."

He turned over, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and hummed.

"You must be careful, brother-in-law. If you have something wrong, what will my sister do? What should we do?" Yun Yan showed a worried expression, turned to the leader and said, "My brother-in-law's goods are still at the foot of the mountain. In the warehouse, if we disappear, we may be taken over by someone. Why don’t you put me down the mountain, I’ll take care of it, and then I’ll come back to pay you back for your medicine and take my brother-in-law away. I can share half of the proceeds from selling dried fish with you.”

The leader chuckled twice, "It's not good, your brother-in-law is so weak, you should stay with him. But the goods are also a problem, why don't you tell me where the warehouse is, and we can help you look."

Damn, I'm sure I'll miss it once I see it.Yunyan returned a vigilant look, "Hehe, I don't remember! I only remember when I see the place!"

The leader also cursed in his heart, and hummed: "It is definitely not allowed to go down the mountain, we have rules."

Yun Yan didn't expect them to release him when he returned. It would be good to treat Zhou Huilin's injuries, "Okay, I understand. You tell me how much the 'medicine' is, and just notify the people in our village to come and deliver it."

Seeing "Shi Shan" go up the road, the leader was very satisfied, "In addition, if this dried fish can really be sold, in fact... we also have a lot of dried fish, I will sell it to your brother-in-law, and we can exchange it together when we go up the mountain. "

Yun Yanhui didn't believe it at all, there would be a large number of dried hehua fish here?It was obvious that he wanted to take the opportunity to strike another sum.

However, Yun Yanhui was not afraid that he would ask for something, so he put on a painful look, "...Okay, okay, then you must tell the people in our village as soon as possible."

The leader rubbed his hands, "It seems that your village and the Han people have made a lot of money." Even he hesitated to blackmail him.The leader suddenly thought of the rumors he had heard, and asked, "I heard that Shi Meilan is going to build some kind of factory in Guizhou to do business, right?"

"It seems to be, and we are still discussing with the Han people." Yunyan replied.

"No wonder... no wonder..." The leader thought to himself, then he would send a smart person to Guizhou to see how much he could swindle.There are very few people like Shi Shan in a village.Even if they couldn't cheat Shi Meilan, they would have to empty out their own home.

Because he was barely half of his own, although the leader was guarding against Yunyan's return, he did not treat him and Zhou Huilin harshly. He made a separate room for them and ordered someone to "look after" them outside.

Yun Yan was not in a hurry when she returned, she asked someone to ask the leader for anything she wanted, and she didn't treat herself as an outsider.

On the first night, he went to the leader and said, "Although I'm sorry, but, it's like this, my brother-in-law was injured, and I want to kill the head sheep to make up for him... The house we live in is just a sheep. Got any sheep?"

The leader cursed inwardly, how rich are the Miao people? How dare he ask for a sheep when everyone is hungry?

He said very unhappy: "It's not worthwhile to slaughter a sheep before it's ready for slaughter. Besides, the two of you can't eat a sheep. I'll kill a chicken for you and give you a few betel nuts. Your brother-in-law The arm injury is not serious, it's just that the poison has not been completely cleaned up, and it's just a little weak."

This is because he wants to beat Yunyan hard for a refund, and he doesn't want to make the relationship too rigid, and he will meet again in the future.

"Why do chickens have sheep supplements?" Yun Yan said anxiously, "It's just a sheep. My mother-in-law's sister has thirty sheep. At worst, let her return two to you, otherwise, it will be as many sheep as the body is broken. It can’t be saved. Besides, we can’t eat much of a sheep, so we will share the rest with you.”

Don't talk about sheep, he wanted to talk about cattle.The imperial court fasted cattle, but the folks repeatedly banned it, especially in this place where the emperor was far away from the high mountains. It only depends on whether the leader is willing or not.Yun Yan thought back, it's better not to be so ruthless from the beginning.

Not to mention being the leader, the translator beside him couldn't help swallowing.Mutton, delicious mutton, how long has it been since you had it?

After hearing this, the leader reluctantly agreed, "Okay, our sheep are well-raised, so kill our sheep."

At that time, the two ends will come, and they will both belong to their family.

……

On the other hand, after Wang Taiyi got out of trouble, he went to the Yizhou Yamen to report his identity and told them that an official who had been ordered by the emperor had been taken away. To put it seriously, while attracting the attention of the local government, he was not at ease. Send an urgent letter to Tokyo.

The best result is to pay the ransom smoothly and get the person out.But there are too many variables in this. I heard that the Tu people are cunning and greedy, and they often backtrack on their promises, and they are even more vicious when they attack the Han people.

Doctor Wang has lived for a long time and has seen a lot. He knows that the government offices in remote places are mostly mobs, and it is difficult to do anything. Otherwise, he would not be robbed of the door without reacting. Maybe he was afraid that he would not die, or he was perfunctory It's just a matter.

Therefore, Imperial Physician Wang simply reported directly to Zhou Huilin and Yun Yan. With Zhou Huilin and Yun Yan back behind them, either party is strong enough to put pressure on the local government.

The news that Yun Yanhui and Zhou Huilin had been taken captive to the mountains was quickly spread to Tokyo, causing an uproar in a certain area.

The two who take the lead, one is the son of an important minister, the bodyguard and the army, and the other is the favorite minister of the emperor, the prime minister's capable subordinate.Behind it, there are countless conflicts of interest. Most people don't want them to have accidents.

As an emperor, Renzong was very generous, and immediately said: "Then you can't let the two young people have an accident, and order the Yizhou magistrate to deal with it with all your strength. If it can't be done, you can stay there for the rest of your life. The army dispatched 1 people to assist."

On the other hand, Yun Yanhui's friends are also in a hurry.

Zhao Yunchu was very anxious and asked to go to Guangnan, he couldn't feel relieved if he didn't see Brother Yan out of trouble as soon as possible.Those people are unreasonable, no matter how smart Yan Geer is, what should he do when he encounters unreasonable people?

I heard that they can't even understand Chinese, so how can they understand the truth.

However, even if Renzong could understand Zhao Yunchu, his parents could not understand either.

Such a dangerous place, not to mention the vicious Tu people, is full of poisonous miasma. Now exiled prisoners and relegated officials are put there, and it is difficult to implement the emperor's edict.More than anything, the Liao Kingdom may be more dangerous.

The princes and concubines all advised Zhao Yunchu that there is an official order, it must be fine, so just stay in the capital and wait for the good news.No matter how good the relationship is, you can't be arrogant.How can one person fight against thousands of troops?

Zhao Yunchu was so angry and anxious that he couldn't speak.

He sat in the yard sullenly, side by side with Zhao Yundi, complaining.At this time, only Zhao Yundi can let him speak his mind.

"...Brother Yan didn't say goodbye to me, so he hurried to Guangnan," Zhao Yunchu wiped his tears, "I can't see him for a moment, and I can't feel at ease for a moment. If something happens to him, woo..."

Zhao Yundi gave Zhao Yunchu a pitiful look, "Brother Yan is an auspicious person, and besides, he is so likable. At most, the barbarians will keep him as the prince of the village. Unlike Zhou Huilin, his mouth may have been given to him at that time." chopped."

Zhao Yunchu's tears soared even more, Zhao Yundi silently hugged his shoulder to comfort him.

The concubine walked out slowly from the room and saw that Zhao Yunchu dropped the golden peas, she was affectionate and funny, she couldn't help teasing: "Why are you still crying, I know you are close to Brother Yan, but you see Mrs. Sitting at home and waiting, are you closer than others?"

She originally meant to tease, but it pricked Zhao Yunchu's heart.

Zhao Yunchu only felt a surge of emotion in his chest, knowing that his emotions were irrational, but he still couldn't hold back, and blurted out: "A Niang, actually, I have been in love with Brother Yan for a long time."

Zhao Yundi was shocked and looked sideways at Zhao Yunchu.

The princess didn't seem to understand, "Huh?"

Zhao Yunchu: "Yes, it's true. I didn't joke with you. Even Bai Yutang is going to Guizhou. If I don't go, what face will I have?"

The princess's expression froze on her face, she couldn't digest what Zhao Yunchu said for a moment.

……

Wang Hao's face was pale, her hands were trembling, she looked around, turned around and took a ruler out of the room.

Zhao Yundi looked at the familiar object, and pulled Zhao Yunchu: "You have to listen to someone who came over, run away quickly!"

The princess walked up to Zhao Yunchu and asked in a trembling voice, "Say it again?"

Zhao Yunchu had already reacted, knowing that he was impulsive, but it was hard to stop, he turned his face slightly and lowered his eyes, and said stubbornly: "I have admired Brother Yan for many years, just like you and Dad."

The concubine raised the ruler, but Zhao Yunchu didn't dodge or dodge, just closed his eyes.

The princess shed tears and drew the ruler on Zhao Yundi in disbelief.

Zhao Yundi: "Ah!! Ah??!"
