Xiao Houye's seven-year imperial examination and five-year road to Kaifeng[75]

Compared to silly foreigners dying of sepsis, we Chinese people are different. There are more ways to supplement vitamins. After all, no matter where you are, you can grow vegetables. It’s just a matter of magic.

The sea boat that Pang Yu plans to build is also modified based on the idea of ​​growing vegetables, at least it can make sailing more fun.

After docking, he will stay for about half a day. Zhao Jue is going to take the cub off the boat for a walk, but he doesn't care. After all, Pang Yu is still young, and being locked up on the boat all day is not good for the cub's physical and mental health. unfavorable.

A city with a port is relatively prosperous. After all, there are many traffickers and you can make money. Even the port has a lot of small stalls and hawkers.

Regardless of the ancient times, there are still many smart people, and there are even delicacies from Xiangyang.

Many of them are relatively simple, easy-to-read foods, and it’s not surprising that they spread. It’s just that the recipe seems to be based on the habits of the local people, with a little change.

Pang Yu had a taste of something new. Sure enough, the wisdom of the working people is immeasurable, and the taste is not bad.

If it weren't for the limited capacity of his stomach, he really wanted to eat all of them, and envied the bottomless pit for another day.

Zhao Jue noticed that someone was peeking at his stomach, eating the food offered by the cub in one gulp, and the movements were natural and skillful. The guards and maids on the side bowed their heads one after another, reducing their sense of presence.

If the officials saw this, their jaws would probably drop, after all, who has seen their lords eat what is left?

As far as his cleanliness is concerned, whoever dares to leave food for him can beat people to the ground and lie down.

However, Mr. Pang Xiaolang ate the leftovers, so he has no problem at all. It depends on the person.

Even with Zhao Jue helping to eat, Pang Yu touched his stomach, but still felt that he couldn't do it. The main reason was that if he really dared to open up and eat, he would break himself, and Zhao Jue would definitely not take him out to eat next time. For the sake of a better life in the future, Pang Yu decided to be more rational and accept it as soon as it is good.

I am used to the cleanliness and tidiness of Xiangyang City. The guards and maids are unavoidably picky about this place. Sure enough, Xiangyang City is better. They have kept it clean and hygienic for five years. As for Bianjing City, I haven’t lived there yet. .

But it is definitely not as good as Xiangyang City. Why they are so sure is actually very simple. Even the expansion of the palace is done by their princes.

If Zhao Jue had acted with such vigor and resoluteness, the city of Bianjing would have changed a long time ago, and it would not have been so long to wait.

But with his personality, it's not suitable for him to sit in that position, mainly because the people under his hands are so grumpy, he was already pissed off beforehand.

"Ouch!" Suddenly a boy wanted to bump into Pang Yu, but Zhao Jue blocked it with his hand.

"Boy, do you dare to bump into it without looking at who it is?" The guards had already caught the boy first, leaving him nowhere to escape.

"Let go of me! Help!" The boy was grabbed by his collar, desperately struggling to resist, but it was a pity that he was no match for the martial arts guard.

None of the bodyguards who can become Zhao Jue's bodyguards are low in strength. Although they had little experience in the world before, they have gone to the police academy for further training, and they still know some tricks. They are no longer ordinary people in the world. White!

Of course, the selection of bodyguards has also expanded a bit. As long as the status and background are no problem, they can also be selected and become ordinary bodyguards. If you want to become a personal bodyguard, it is still very early. impossible.

If they were run away by a brat, how shameful would they be?

"This kid has two or three money bags on him." The guard touched the boy and found several money bags, but there was not much silver in them, but the material of the money bags was absolutely impossible to be that boy's.

"What are you doing in a daze? Throw it to the yamen." Zhao Jue didn't even bother to look at the kid, but just made Pang Yu turn around. It's lucky that the food he ate just didn't splash on him.

"Here." The guard carried the kid along and went to find the yamen.

"Let go of me, Master Kidnapping won't let you go!" The brat warned and threatened while struggling.

"What is the abductee?" The guard asked in wonder, the name sounded very obscene.

"Guaiye is the biggest elder of the beggar gang here, and there are thousands of brothers here!" The little ghost said proudly, "I tell you, it's best to let me go!"

"How many thousands?" The guard frowned.

"When did the beggar become so powerful?" Pang Yu asked subconsciously when he heard it.

"Who is a beggar? We are the gang of beggars!" The kid was still not happy, and corrected him, "Our gang of beggars is the most powerful gang here."

"The brothers in your beggar gang have three hands like you?" the guard couldn't help but sarcastically said. shiwei

"We are stealing from the rich and giving to the poor." The kid immediately retorted, it seems that he also knows that calling three hands is not nice.

"Isn't stealing from the rich and helping the poor not stealing?" Pang Yu asked, frowning.

"I warn you, if you don't let me go, my brother will come to save me." The kid didn't say anything to Pang Yu, but threatened the guard again.

"Let them come, I want to take a good look at what this gang of beggars who rob the rich and give to the poor look like." The guard said indifferently, anyway, he was not panicked at all, did he think he was a kid who had never seen the world?

"Pay attention to protecting Yu'er." Zhao Jue squinted his eyes, noticing some strange movement nearby, and immediately ordered the following maids to say.

Not to mention anything else, the maids he brought out this time were all skilled, no worse than the guards at all.

"Here." The maid immediately came to Pang Yu's side and entered a state of alert.

At this time, a group of beggars of different sizes swarmed up. Of course, the main goal was to catch the guards of the little beggars. There should be only one purpose, to rescue the caught little beggars.

"There are really brothers." The guards sighed, but they were mainly ridiculed. None of the children who rushed up were over 15 years old. Children of these ages, in Xiangyang City, were the age Zhao Jue required them to go to school.

But here, they are all little beggars, how can they not make people angry.

They worked hard to cultivate talents, but some people gathered these children together just to make them three hands?

A group of brats rushed forward, and even touched the maid with their dirty hands. Their tricks were very dirty, but at the same time very effective, at least it was definitely enough to deal with ordinary little ladies.

At least they kicked the iron plate this time. The maids protecting Pang Yu are not ordinary women, but have undergone strict training. If they come to one of them, they will directly beat them up and do acupuncture points. Don't even try to run away!

This is the world of martial arts. None of the little ghosts who had their acupuncture points escaped, they just stood there like wooden figures, maintaining an attacking posture.

In a short time, dozens of little ghost heads were fixed on the street, unable to move anything except their eyeballs.

The kid who was caught first was dumbfounded and shouted, "What kind of sorcery is this!"

It's a pity that no one paid attention to him at all. The guard pulled out the signal from his waist, stretched out his hand and pulled it, and the signal immediately soared into the sky.

The crowd of onlookers are still dumbfounded, what can they see when setting off firecrackers in broad daylight?

No one knew that those were not firecrackers at all, but were used to transmit signals. This signal was on the boat at the port. As soon as anyone saw it, they would come here in groups immediately.

After all, with dozens of little ghosts, this problem cannot but be said to be serious.

"Why are there so many children here?" Pang Yu asked wonderingly, "Even if they are orphans, it's not normal for there to be so many orphans in a city?"

"It's very abnormal, but it's too stinky here, stay away first." Zhao Jue nodded, he was not interested in where these little devils came from, and the bluff was even more indifferent, but just now, dozens of people suddenly appeared , although they are young, the number of people should not be underestimated. If it is allowed to develop, it will become a disaster sooner or later.

He obviously came down to the south to play, why did he always encounter such disappointing things, did he not read the almanac when he went out?

No matter what, since you've seen it all, you can't pretend it didn't happen.

Pang Yu naturally thought the same way. If there are so many little beggars, if they are not educated well, there will be a group of hooligans in the future. It is scary to think about it.

The problem in this place is not small, but what is the yamen here doing?

Why just let it go like this?

At this moment, the kid was also dumbfounded. His dozens of brothers were all fixed on the spot in the blink of an eye. They were all his little brothers!

Not long after, the people who were still watching the fun stepped aside one after another. For no other reason, a group of people with weapons appeared. Of course the locals knew who they were, and the beggar gang was still very famous in the local area. The people were afraid of being implicated, so they all ran away, even the small vendors didn't care to pack their things, they just wanted to run far away, and only hoped that the innocent would not be affected.

Soon the few people with Zhao Jue at the center were surrounded, but compared to those beggars, they didn't show panic at all, as if they weren't the ones being surrounded.

"Yo ho, there are quite a few people here." The guard couldn't help but whistled, not paying attention to the dozens of people surrounding them.

Just kidding, the eight guards who came with them are also afraid that dozens of them are holding some kind of weapons, let alone their princes. When they killed those bandits back then, they went straight in and out seven times, scaring them. The nearby cottages just emptied and ran away. Such a small number of people is nothing at all.

"Boy, whose territory do you think you are acting wild on?" The middle-aged man standing in the middle was not tall, but his tone was not small.

"Isn't this the official site? Isn't this place surnamed Zhao?" The guard immediately retorted, laughing to death, whose site is it?

"Lord Guaifu, save me!" The little devil struggled and shouted, "They know magic tricks!"

"Fuck you, tell you, if you don't pay a thousand or eight hundred today, you won't be able to leave alive." The middle-aged man, who was also the kidnapper in the kid's mouth, said sharply.

"Threatening me?" Zhao Jue sneered, really amused, "Well, very good, I've grown up so much, no one has dared to threaten me like that."

"Boss, I'm afraid this man won't cry when he sees the Yellow River! Get rid of him!" The people around Master Guai couldn't bear it, and said immediately.

It has to be said that Zhao Juela's hate skills are still full.

"Go!" Master Guai gave an order, and immediately those with assorted weapons rushed forward. After all, they were all beggars. To have a weapon is considered a great fortune.

"Take care of Yu'er." Zhao Jue left the safe place without saying a word.

"Here!" The maids immediately agreed.

Pang Yu just wanted to help his forehead. Was he so excited about a fight?

Don't think he doesn't know, the boat ride has been boring recently, Zhao Jue finds it very boring, now it's a fun brought to him, there's no reason to let it go.

Otherwise, is it okay for the majestic prince to rush to the front?

Those eight guards who rushed along with Zhao Jue were originally here to take care of their prince, but ended up fighting along with them.

Compared with the mediocre martial arts of the guards, those beggars are more versatile. Anyway, they can use any insidious tricks. Although they are not strong, this kind of messy style of play also gave the guards a headache.

It's just that this battle situation, no matter how you look at it, is one-sided. After all, as long as you fight against Zhao Jue, it is basically impossible to make another move and be beaten to the ground directly.

Unlike dealing with children, when dealing with these people, there is no mercy at all. As long as they don't kill them, it doesn't matter.

The onlookers not far away almost couldn't hold back their shouts. This beggar gang, which has dominated the local area for a long time, has finally been dealt with by someone.

"Don't go, just wait for me!" Seeing that the situation was wrong, Grandpa Guai scrambled and ran away.

And the little ghost who was caught by the guards looked at the running back of the kidnapper with a face of shock, obviously unbelievable, or maybe his faith had collapsed.

After all, in his mind, Lord Kidnap is the most powerful, and he was beaten so easily?

Not only was he beaten, but he also ran away!

Even if it is to move rescuers, it is not acceptable to the kid.

"My lord! The subordinates are late!" Hundreds of guards ran up to Zhao Jue, watching the battle, good guy, they missed it!

"Tie up these people and take them away. Separate the adults from the children." Zhao Jue had just warmed up, and it ended before it even started. It's really disappointing. There are still thousands of people, and that's it?

Even if the number reaches tens of thousands, waste is still waste.

"Here!"

"What prince?" The people around heard the words of the guards and immediately began to gossip. They heard it very clearly, it was the prince.

"Go to the yamen." Zhao Jue ordered.

Then the group was about to go to the yamen, and some good people offered to lead them to the yamen, but they did not refuse. After all, they went to the yamen by themselves, of course it would be better to have someone lead the way.

It didn't take long for them to find the yamen, which looked no different from other yamens. When the guards called the door and revealed their identities, the people in the yamen gasped and hurriedly greeted the prince.

Zhao Jue then asked about the Beggar Gang, and when he said this, the county magistrate sighed, "My lord, you don't know something, it's not that I don't want to take care of it, but that these scoundrels are numerous and powerful."

"You can't control it, can't you ask the court for help?" Zhao Jue didn't want to hear those evasive words at all.

"It's really this Guaiye, no, it's Wang Guaizi. He also has contact with the local Xiang army, saying that the commander is his brother-in-law." The county magistrate said helplessly.

"Commander?" Zhao Jue raised his eyebrows, why is the commander so powerful?

"Go back to your lord, the commander of the Xiang army here is from the Liu family." The guard said in front of Zhao Jue.

"Huh? Which Liu family?" The main reason is that there are too many people, and there are only a few surnames, but Zhao Jue didn't think of it for a while.

"The Liu family next to the official family is said to be a relative of her own family." The guard said from the side.

"Why is she everywhere?" Zhao Jue couldn't help frowning and said.

"But I remember that Commander Liu must be almost sixty?" The guard frowned and said.

This is very subtle, Wang Guaizi doesn't look more than thirty, and the commander is his brother-in-law, so it is impossible for his younger sister to be older than his elder brother.

"Bring me the commander." Zhao Jue ordered impatiently, not wanting to hear about the relationship between those people.

"Here!" The guards took their orders and set off with some guards.

To bring the commanding envoys, it must not be a few people, it is more imposing to bring some people.

As for the beggars caught on the spot, the acupuncture points were unlocked for the young ones, after all, it is not good for the body after a long time.

The older ones had a hard time, and the cold water was poured on them, and the interrogation began.

Neither Zhao Jue nor Pang Yu participated in this point. Zhao Jue didn't want Pang Yu to see those scenes, which would be bad for children's growth.

However, the harvest is still not small, such as the information reported, these people are really doing all kinds of evil in this county, although this group of people is not as exaggerated as the kid said, the number of people is definitely enough to surround the disaster.

I don’t know where I got some little ghosts. Anyway, no matter begging or letting them steal, they must pay enough money every day, otherwise they will not only starve but also be beaten.

By the way, they have to brainwash every day. If it weren't for them, those brats would have starved to death. In fact, the money they handed in every day is more than enough to feed them all.

"Bastard!" Zhao Jue looked at the signed confessions, and suddenly became furious, such scum!If it is not cleaned up, how can the people live and work in peace and contentment!

"That kid did it on purpose." Pang Yu looked at Zhao Jue and said.

"On purpose?" Zhao Jue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that maybe it really was.

If it is true as what the little devil said, these beggars are so powerful in the local area, since they sent the little devil to the yamen, the people in the yamen can't turn around and let him go?Nothing will happen.

But he wanted to threaten not to say anything, and even took the initiative to expose the child who was with him.

This is very weird. I didn't have time to think about it at the time, but now that I think about it, it really is very wrong.

What's more, according to the meaning of those beggars, if they beat or scolded those children, it is impossible for them to have a good impression of the kidnapper.

Pang Yu asked someone to find out, if the kid did it on purpose, the way to deal with it would be different.

Can victims be treated the same as perpetrators?

What's more, those are still a group of children, and they still have a bright future.

Maybe their parents are also looking for them, that's all possible, so kidnappers have always been so annoying since ancient times!

Especially for this kidnapper and dozens of children, we must strictly investigate!

One night passed, and the rest of the beggars were almost finished interrogating. Anyway, there is no problem in prison, and dozens of children are finally safe. The oldest kid, it is said that his parents passed away, and his uncle took over. His family's property, when he was only five or six years old, was taken away by the kidnapper. Yes, he was sold to the kidnapper by his uncle.

So he was the oldest child under the abductee, but the other children were abducted or even robbed by him when he saw the abductee with his own eyes.

He has always taken care of these younger brothers and sisters like a big brother, but as time went by, the younger brothers and sisters began to grow up, especially the younger sisters, the eyes of the kidnappers became more and more wrong, and he began to worry.

In addition, not everyone can pay the money on time, and it is easy to be hungry. No matter how hard he tries, it is impossible to protect everyone.

Until he hit the iron plate, he had an idea, thinking that maybe he could take this opportunity to escape from the clutches of the kidnapper.

In fact, he really succeeded!

It never occurred to me that all the brothers and sisters were saved, but some of them were young when they were kidnapped, and they didn’t remember their family members at all. Otherwise, it might not be possible for them to help them find their homes. Like him, he remembered that his parents were gone. Yes, there will be no worries.

"Are you willing to go to Xiangyang City?" Pang Yu asked, looking at the kid. "Take your younger brothers and sisters with you."

"I am willing!" The kid replied excitedly, jokingly, he already knew that the person he bumped into was King Xiangyang, why not, could it be worse than now?

So he agreed without hesitation, and brought his younger brothers and sisters to live again.

"When the kidnapper Wang is captured and brought to justice, I will send someone to send you to Xiangyang City." Pang Yu nodded and said.

At noon, Zhao Jue and Pang Yu were having dinner, and Wang Guaizi and Commander Liu were brought to the Yamen at the same time. It was just a coincidence that the guards went to the Xiang army station and wanted to summon Commander Liu. Wang Guaizi who came to Commander Liu for help.

Isn't that a coincidence!

They were all packed away together, with the token of the King of Xiangyang, and Commander Liu was taken away together without even daring to resist.

When Zhao Jue saw that Wang kidnapper again, he had already been pinned to the floor. There was no way that what this guy did was so hateful that no one wanted to go up and kick him twice.

"It seems that your helper is not very good." Zhao Jue said gloatingly.
