The rise of the poor

Chapter 1338 On the way to the post
Zhu Ping'an's destination was Yingtianfu, the seat of Zhejiang Province's Criminal Procuratorate Office, thousands of miles away from Jingnan.In modern times, this distance is only more than 500 kilometers, and it takes half a day to drive there.But in ancient times, it took several days, and this was still the case when horses were used as means of transportation.

It was originally expected to arrive at Yingtian Mansion in five days, but it seems that it will take at least six days.

People in Jingnan, together with the old and the young, insisted on seeing off Zhu Pingan all the way, no matter how persuasive they were
Looking around, the road is full of people, and the road will be blocked as far as the eye can see.Looking at the uncle and aunt walking tremblingly, Zhu Pingan couldn't bear it, so he could only get out of the car and walk all the way.
So until the evening, Zhu Ping'an was still in Jingnan, and he had walked less than a few miles in total.

In the evening, Zhu Ping'an and his party entered Duanxi Town, Jingnan, and stayed in an inn, pretending to have a rest in the town tonight.However, after tea time, Zhu Ping'an and his party came out from the back door of the inn in disguise, leaving Liu Daqiang and Liu Dachui in the inn to confuse the people, and they drove the carriage on the road the next day.

"Hehehe, someone is obviously promoted, but he looks like a bereaved dog."

The demon girl Ruonan walked side by side with Zhu Ping'an around the painting, giggling and teasing Zhu Ping'an.

"Young master is not a lost dog." Hua'er pouted and twisted her body on the horse's back to express her protest.

"Hehe, twist around again, fall down and make a face, and be rejected by a family dog, don't blame me." The witch Ruonan giggled, leaned over Hua'er's ear and blew.

"Young Master is not a lost dog. People are reluctant to leave Young Master. They all say that Young Master is Master Qingtian. My Young Master is in a hurry." Hua'er heard the witch Ruonan say that Zhu Ping'an is a lost dog, so she couldn't help puffing out her cheeks and glared at Demon Woman Ruonan, insisting.

"It's such a bereaved dog, so it doesn't matter a few more times."

Zhu Pingan glanced at the demon girl Ruo Nan, twitched the corners of his mouth proudly, and said something leisurely.

Traveling with light clothes was much faster. Before the curfew, Zhu Ping'an had already left Jingnan County and arrived in Taiping County.

Taiping County was once ravaged by Japanese pirates. Zhu Ping'an walked all the way, and there were burnt ruins everywhere. Almost every house hung white banners, and the mournful voices of crying for children and mothers and fathers and mothers could be heard endlessly.

heavy, sorrowful, indignant
Along the way, Zhu Pingan remained silent, with mixed feelings in his heart, his anger towards the Japanese pirates soared all the way, and he vowed countless times to wipe out the Japanese pirates.

"Zhu Ping'an, I now understand why the people in Jingnan are so reluctant to let you go."

Seeing the ubiquitous tragedies in Taiping County, the witch Ruonan looked up at Zhu Pingan with a heavy face, and said slowly.

The people in Jingnan are really reluctant to be nerds. There are nerds. The people in Jingnan survived two Japanese plagues and one flood. It is rare to live a stable life, especially compared with the adjacent Taiping County (Taiping County The common people were ravaged twice by Japanese pirates and once by floods, most of the common people in the territory were killed or injured), the common people in Jingnan seemed to be living in Peach Blossom Land, how could they be willing to let Zhu Pingan leave.

"If Haiyan, Heqing, and the world are peaceful, I would like to be their county magistrate for the rest of my life." Zhu Ping'an turned his head to look in the direction of Jingnan and said softly, then shook his head and sighed, "Unfortunately, now that Japanese pirates are raging, there is no peace in the south of the Yangtze River." Day, what can I do for it”

"The world is very big, there is more than one Jingnan; there are many people, more than [-] Jingnan people."

"Drive! There is an inn in front of us, so we will go there and settle down."

Zhu Pingan said that he clamped the horse's belly, pointed to the inn not far ahead, and drove the horse fast.

The name of the inn is very vulgar, "Welcome to guests", and there are traces of arson at the door of the inn, which seems to have encountered Japanese infestation.However, Yingkelai Inn is lucky, at least it can still operate.

The pawn shop next to the welcome inn is only a bare, dark ruin.

"Guest officer, please. Just leave the horse to the younger one."

The waiter in the shop saw Zhu Ping'an and his party coming to the door, and came up to greet him enthusiastically.

Zhu Ping'an and his party are one of the few businesses in their shop today.Just a few days after the Japanese plague passed, Taiping County was hit hard again, and it has not yet recovered from the labor pains.

"Please prepare a table of home-cooked food and open four more rooms." Zhu Pingan said with a smile.

"Okay. Please sit down, guest officer. The food will be served soon." The waiter led Zhu Ping'an and his party to a round table.

Because there were few people in the inn, the food was served very quickly, and a table of home-cooked dishes and a pot of rice were served in a short while.

"It's fine if there is no wine, why is there no meat at all?! Is it because we are afraid that we will not be able to pay the money? Our master brought two maids to serve, and there are five big and three rough guards to protect him. Does it seem that there is no money?"

The demon girl Ruonan is a person who loves neither meat nor wine, looking at a table of vegetarian dishes, she couldn't help but stop the waiter.

"Guest officer, please calm down. The young one doesn't have dog eyes, so he won't look down on others. Please listen to my explanation, our 'Welcome' inn only serves vegetarian food, not meat."

The shop boy explained.

"Heck, what kind of rule is this?! Only vegetarian food is served, no meat food?! Then why are you running an inn? Do you think the guests are all monks and nuns?" The witch Ruonan rolled her eyes.

"Okay, if you are a man or a girl, vegetarian food is the same. After eating and resting, we have to go on our way tomorrow."

Zhu Pingan waved his hand, seeing so many tragedies along the way, he would not be able to eat meat this time.

"Is the master not even willing to give a piece of meat to the slave?" The witch Ruonan blinked her eyes.

Zhu Pingan was speechless.

"I'm really sorry, the guest officer. The shop really only serves vegetarian food, not meat." The waiter said apologetically, "Actually, we also served meat food three days ago."

"Then why is it not available now?" the demon girl Ruonan asked.

"The guest officer is from out of town! Our Taiping County encountered Japanese invaders three days ago, and the county town was overrun by Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates murdered and set fire to the county town, committing all kinds of crimes. Dead people are everywhere in the streets. It's too tragic. Our inn is Fuda Fate is fatal, the water tank not far from the place where the fire started burst, and the firewood was poured out, and this was a lucky escape. Three days ago, all walks of life in our county unanimously decided to eat vegetarian Sanqi to commemorate the deceased elders Folks." The waiter explained with a sad face.

"That's it, I'm sorry." Hearing this, the witch Ruonan no longer asked for meat.

Ugh!
Poor and pitiful.

Hearing this, Zhu Pingan couldn't help sighing.

A group of people finished their dinner in silence, went to rest, were speechless all night, got up early the next day and hurried on their way.
