Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 46 Shijie Village by Shijie Lake【For collection】

The affairs of the Tang Temple are handled by Liu Tang.The young man in the store agreed with Lu Qian's plan to destroy the Tang Temple and fully cooperated.Not only did he draw a general map of the Tang Temple, but he also marked three trusted relatives.Then let Liu Tang pretend to be a man who sells dates, and go to the Tang temple openly.

The Tang Temple is close to Wenshui, and now is the season when Shandong dates are ripe. The best Shandong dates are in Tai'an Mansion, the source of Wenshui. Liu Tang, as a date dealer, passed by Tang Temple at this time. nothing wrong.

As for whether Liu Tang is capable of completing this task, Lu Qian is not worried at all.

In the eyes of many later generations, this red-haired ghost Liu Tang should be like Lu Zhishen and Li Kui, doing things without going through the brain, just relying on brute force, and doing whatever he wants.But in fact Liu Tang is not that kind of person.Not only is Liu Tang not reckless, but he is also very meticulous in his consideration of issues.

Not to mention anything else, just say that after Chao Gai went to Liangshan, he wanted to reward Song Jiang, his benefactor who rescued them. If you are not careful, you will fall into the quagmire.It is true that whoever is sent to Yuncheng to meet Song Jiang is a very cautious matter.

But according to common sense, there are many people on Liangshan who are more suitable than Liu Tang, because Liu Tang has exposed his identity in the government, and his face is very obvious, and he is not very familiar with Yuncheng, right? Should go to that kind of place.But Chao Gai and Wu Yong didn't choose suitable candidates, so they had to let a suspect go in person.It can be seen that in people's minds, Liu Tang is trustworthy.

Lu Qian also trusted him very much.

After making the orders and arrangements, Lu Qian and Zhu Gui hurried towards Shijie Village.

Dongxi Village, where Chao Gai and Lu Qian lived, was hundreds of miles away from Shijie Village, but Shuibo Liangshan was within walking distance of Shijie Village.

If Liangshanbo is attached to Dayebei, then Shijie Village is just as attached to Liangshanbo.

All the way fast and fast, but after half past time (ten o'clock in the morning), Shijie Village has already fallen into sight.Asked where the family of Ruan Xiaoer, a villager, was, and followed the directions to see the place.

In between, Ruan Xiaoer's house was near the water, and there was a trestle bridge built of planks at the door, leading directly to the water.There are dry piles standing next to them, on which several small fishing boats are moored, and a broken fishing net is drying outside the fence.

Zhu Gui called out, "Is Brother Ruan at home?" A woman came out, unkempt, with a wooden hairpin on her head, an old linen shirt with a collar, her underskirt exposed, and bare feet. Wearing a pair of straw sandals, she came out to meet Lu Qian and Zhu Gui.

The woman hurriedly said, "Where are you two? Why are you looking for my man?"

Lu Qian hurriedly replied: "This sister-in-law, I have some trivial matters, so I came here to meet my second brother. I wonder if second brother Ruan is at home now?"

"It's a coincidence that he went out fishing in the morning and hasn't returned yet. I don't know why the two of you came to see him?" While talking, he let Lu Qian and the two into the house.

Lu Qian and Zhu Gui looked at each other, and said: "It's normal to say, my master wants to hold a banquet, and he uses twenty or thirty golden carp weighing tens of catties, so he came here to ask." People make up speeches on the way.

Lu Qian entered the thatched cottage and saw a pair of children. The older girl was five or six years old, and the younger boy was only three or two years old.Ruan Xiaoer's family called a pot of hot water, but there was not even a tea foam at home.After letting Lu Qian and Zhu Gui rest at home for a while, they went out to find Ruan Xiaoer.

The fisherman by the lake, that woman is also a good rower.On the shore of the lake, one of the boats on the dry pile was untied, and a sliding rod was removed. The boat cut through the water like an arrow and headed for the center of the lake.

While they were swimming, the woman slowed down her hand, moved her hand forward, and called out, "Seventh brother, have you seen your second brother?" Then he saw a boat coming out of the reeds.

That Ruan Xiaoqi wore a black hat to cover the sun, a shabby cloth vest, and a raw cloth skirt around his waist. He swung the boat and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you not at home to watch?" Why are you looking for your second brother here? Are you afraid that he will drown in this water?"

"Seventh brother, there are two men riding horses at home, they are very handsome, and they want twenty or thirty gold-scaled carp weighing more than ten catties."

That's a big deal.

The so-called golden scale carp is the Yellow River carp. The water pond was formed in the early years because of the flood of the Yellow River, so there are Yellow River carp in Shijie Lake.Three or two catties of carp is not very valuable, but if it weighs ten catties, it is precious, comparable to the price of beef.

Nowadays, the price of cattle in Jingdong is between seven and ten for a steer, and how much meat can a steer produce?

Two hundred catties is too low, so three hundred catties?What about four hundred catties?
The price of beef is generally around [-] yuan. The price per kilo of large Yellow River carp is comparable to that of beef. A fish weighs more than [-] jin, which is a total of [-] yuan. This is not a small sum.For the Ruan family.

Ruan Xiaoqi's eyes lit up at first, then he sighed in frustration.His sister-in-law saw it, but she kept saying: "Of the two officials who came, one did not have our local accent, but the other had an authentic local accent. This business is what the foreigner's owner wants. He must have suffered. It is only through the recommendation of the local Han that I know you three brothers in Shijie Village."

"Sister-in-law knows that things are unusual now. After that thief scholar Wang Lun took over Liangshan Po, our family's life has become more and more difficult. But the ready-made money is right in front of us. It would be a pity to miss it. You three brothers all have one Very watery, my sister-in-law was thinking..."

Ruan Xiaoer's family was talking to Ruan Xiaoqi here, and Ruan Xiaowu saw it from a distance: "Sister-in-law, why did you come here, who is watching the nephew and niece at home?"

"Goro, have you seen your second brother?"

"Second brother is right behind."

"Has Goro ever caught a big carp?"

"There is no such good luck. Today is really unlucky. There is only a bucket of small turtles. The fish and shrimps in this lake are getting more and more vulnerable."

While they were talking here, Ruan Xiaoer had already rowed out of the reed swamp in his boat. He was startled when he saw his mother-in-law there.Ruan Xiaoqi told the story like this.For a moment, the whole thing was enveloped in a low-pressure atmosphere.

"Second brother, let's not talk about this business. Let's go back first, don't neglect anyone." Ruan Xiaoqi said.

When the four boats slid to the wooden bridge, Lu Qian was already waiting for the three of them.Zhu Gui stood on one side, watching the three men of the Ruan family clasping their fists from a distance.

The three younger Ruan brothers also had an impression of Zhu Gui. They knew that this man was nicknamed Handi Hulu, and he opened a hotel by the waterfront and focused on inquiring about things.

In the original book of Water Margin, the three heroes of the Ruan family knew the leaders of Liangshanbo very well, and they also said that Wang Lun and other Liangshan founders were all right, only the newcomer Lin Chong was very good at martial arts.Thinking about it, how could it be possible to know nothing about being so close.

Now, the three of them all set their eyes on the leader, Lu Qian.This man was a stranger, but he was able to be Zhu Gui's master, and the three Ruan brothers all raised their hearts.

"Which high-ranking customer is it? It turns out to be shopkeeper Zhu. Some of them haven't seen each other for a year or so. How can the wind blow this?"

"Haha, Second Brother Ruan laughed, the master is here." Zhu Gui stretched out his hand to introduce Lu Qian.

"My surname is Lu, and I took the liberty to come here and disturb the three heroes. And since the three kunzhongs are all here, Lu has brought good wine and meat with him. Then why not find a clean place and have a few drinks? " Lu Qian is also carefully looking at the three heroes of the Ruan family.

Ruan Xiaoer really couldn't think of any good man surnamed Lu, but he was not timid, and said, "Then go to Lao Wu, where the lotus flowers are in the lake, and we will go there in a boat." Whatever you say, just leave it at that.
