Chapter five hundred and thirty eight: bumping into walls everywhere
One master and two servants returned to the boarding inn, but they were stunned for a moment.
Their luggage was piled at the gate and was actually swept out.
The guard Cao Biao was furious, turned over and dismounted, rushed to the inn door. He held his hand on the hilt of the knife and stared fiercely at the inn owner and several waiters standing at the door, trembling in front of the trembling inn owner and several waiters.
"What do you want to do?"
The boss's voice was crying: "Customer, the shop cannot entertain three of you. Please stay in other places."
With a choking sound, Cao Biao's knife was pulled out half.
"Boss, we have lost your stay money?" Cao Zhang's question came from behind Cao Biao.
"No, no!" The boss shook his head repeatedly.
"Since that's the case, why should we drive us away?" Cao Zhang asked in a warm voice.
"Mr. Cao Langjun, I really don't dare to stay overnight at you anymore. Please pity me and take another place!" The boss's legs became weak and he actually knelt on the ground. As the boss knelt down, the waiters behind him also knelt down.
"What is this for?" Cao Zhang was shocked.
"Mr. Cao Langjun, if you don't leave, my inn will not be able to continue. My family and these guys are pointing at this inn to make money to support the family!" The boss kowtowed repeatedly.
Cao Zhangling was stunned for a while, as if he understood something, shook his head and said, "Boss, it's already late tonight. Please let us stay for another night today. We'll leave early tomorrow morning, okay?"
The boss didn't say anything, but just kowtowed. With just a few strokes, he knocked out a large nest in the snow in front of him, revealing the ice layer below. He still kept knocking, and there was blood on the snow.
"Forget it, let's go." Cao Zhang waved helplessly, and Cao Biao and Cao Bao behind him came forward angrily, picked up their luggage, and put them on the horse's back.
Seeing the three of them leaving, the inn owner knocked a few more times thankfully, then hurried back to the store and closed the door tightly.
"Young Master!" Cao Biao said.
"I know what you are going to say." Cao Zhang said: "Of course someone threatened them."
"I know, it's just a young master. I'm thinking, since I can threaten this family, I'm afraid of other inns?" Cao Biao said.
"Try it!" Cao Zhang tightened his cloak and frowned.
As Cao Biao expected, late at night, in the cold wind, they walked through more than a dozen inns in Fenyin City, and none of them were willing to stay overnight.
Standing in the dark night, the cold wind unscrupulously drilled into the direction of all possible grounds on their bodies. The snowflakes in the sky turned into snow seeds, and the cold drizzle was mixed with the rustling sound, which made their bodies' temperatures even lower.
"Young Master, go to the government office!" Cao Biao said: "They dare not refuse you, your son."
"They dare!" Cao Zhang suddenly sneered: "What are they afraid of? But if you want to force me to leave in this way, I really won't leave."
"Young Master, then where are we going now?" Cao Bao asked.
"Just find a place to shelter from the wind." Cao Zhang said.
The three of them went to the south of the city, surrounded three war horses, removed the saddle, let Cao Zhang sit on it, and then took out a blanket from their luggage and wrapped it with Cao Zhang. Then, with Cao Bao, they found some dead branches and wooden boards piled together, shaking the fire brokers, and finally ignited them. The master and servant were sitting together in the cold wind, and using this faint temperature of the fire to compete with the cold wind.
Accompanied by a rooster crow, Cao Zhang woke up with a thrill, and his whole body seemed to be frozen. As soon as he moved, he could hear the sound of bones rubbing, and his whole body felt like he fell into an ice cellar.
Cao Biao and Cao Bao also woke up at the same time. The two of them were much better than Cao Zhang. They jumped up and started to work together to knead Cao Zhang. After a while, Cao Zhang felt a little more comfortable and stood up on the support of the two.
"I only know today what it feels like for those who are homeless in the cold winter!" Cao Zhang kept stomping his feet, slapped off the ice chips on the soles of his shoes, and sighed.
Cao Biao and Cao Bao quickly put the saddle on the horse and said, "Young master, go find a breakfast shop first and drink some hot soup to warm your stomach."
"Let's go!" Cao Zhang didn't get on the horse, but led the horse, and walked forward along the street.
As the sky became brighter, the streets gradually became lively, and more and more pedestrians appeared on the streets. When everyone saw Cao Zhang and the other two, they were as if they had seen ghosts, and they all avoided both sides. The three of them walked on the streets, like beasts.
This situation made Cao Zhang even more angry.
On the side of the street, a small cart was clamoring for steaming pancakes along the street. Cao Biao was overjoyed when he saw this, and strode forward, took out a handful of copper coins from his arms, and said, "Old man, come and have some pancakes, are there any hot soup?"
The old man selling cakes looked at Cao Biao in a daze, then glanced at Cao Zhang and Cao Bao behind him, suddenly screamed, bowed, turned around and pulled the cart away like flying.
Cao Biao's hand holding the copper coin was still stretched in the air, and the man was stunned to see the old man disappearing at the corner of the street at a speed that was not commensurate with his age.
The three of them continued to move forward.
A woman is selling soup cakes at a small stall.
Seeing the three of them coming, the person who was sitting on a small stool and holding a bowl of soup cakes scattered in an instant. Seeing Cao Biao strode towards him, the woman actually knelt on the ground with a loud bang and kowtowed repeatedly.
This scene made Cao Zhang sigh, led the horse and continued to walk forward silently.
Wherever the three of them went, the shops closed one after another. Some waiters who were already trying hard to shout outside immediately turned around and slipped into the store, running faster than mice.
As the door panel was clanging and reinstalled, Cao Zhang's fists became tighter and tighter, and his face turned red.
"Young Master, what should I do?" Cao Biao returned to Cao Zhang's side with a dejected look.
"Sectarian thieves! It's true that they are all sectarian thieves!" Cao Zhang jumped out from his teeth one by one: "Li Xiang is right. If these people are not eliminated, how can the world be good? How can these people live a healthy life?"
"Young Master, they deserve to die, but now we have no place to live and no one sells food. What should we do?" Cao Biao said.
"Young Master, why don't we go back to Taiyuan City. Where is it? It's not like this one, right?" Cao Bao said.
"Let's go, I will admit defeat." Cao Zhang said angrily: "If I don't leave, I will never leave in shame. Xue Jun underestimated me too much. Can I surrender this way? My father said that when he followed Prince Li to conquer the world in the early years, he climbed ice and slept in snow and ate all kinds of hardships. Now I can experience this feeling. Cao Biao, you go out of the city to find food, no matter what it is, just eat it. Cao Bao, go to the city to find any abandoned houses and gardens."
"Young Master, it's okay for us to suffer a little, but how can you live like this?" Cao Biao advised: "A gentleman takes revenge and it's not too late for ten years. There is always a time to settle the score with them. Why bother to care about the momentary anger?"
"As long as I am still in Fenyin, I will not lose. If I leave, all my efforts will be wasted." Cao Zhang's stubbornness broke out, "If I don't leave, I will stay in Fenyin City. Xue Jun has the ability, so he will kill me."
Cao Biao and Cao Bao have been following Cao Zhang for many years, but they know the virtues of this little master. Seeing Cao Zhang’s current appearance, they no longer say anything. One of them got on the horse and ran out of the city, while the other went to the city to find where there could be a place to settle down.
Cao Zhang was no longer wandering. Anyway, no matter where he was wandering, he would close the doors and doors. He simply led his horse to the Fenyin County yamen, but he did not enter the yamen. He just leaned against the horse-tie pile at the door and looked at the two yamen runners watching the door.
The gate of the county government is always closed.
"Hedong is not the Hedong of the court!" Cao Zhang sighed.
Or in the eyes of Han Qi and others, Hedong is naturally Hedong of the court, but it is definitely not Li Ze's Hedong.
Unlike other places, Li Ze can use force to suppress the situation. If he is not convinced, he will speak with a knife. Hedong, but this is not possible, because now they are under the banner of the court in name, and on the surface, they cannot see any disobedience. Apart from not implementing Li Ze's most basic land policy, Li Ze really cannot find any other mistakes.
They also paid taxes to the court. Although the amount was smaller, they did pay them.
The court's policies also appeared to be implemented, but there is no subsequent text when and how to implement them.
Li Ze was indeed unable to do anything to Hedong for a while. Unless he and Han Qi and Li Cunzhong completely turned against each other, that would obviously not be in line with the overall interests and would be of great harm to the overall situation.
"How is that young man Cao Zhang doing now?" In the warm house, Xue Jun slowly shook his warm wine with a smile and asked another person in the hall.
"The head of the family, Cao Zhang is really a stubborn donkey. Not only did he not leave, he even asked one of his subordinates to go out of the city to hunt. The other found a abandoned house in the city and actually lived in it."
Xue Jun was stunned, and then sneered again: "Find an opportunity. When they are not around, they will set fire to the abandoned house."
"yes!"
"There are no such places in the city, so I've flattened them all."
"yes!"
"Also, that guy who left the city sent someone to have a meal. No matter what food he found, he would grab it all."
"Head of the family, isn't that good?"
"Who doesn't have people after leaving the city? What does it have to do with us? There are thieves in Hedong, and suppressing thieves is also the matter of the government, it is the matter of the garrison. He can go and complain to General Li Cunzhong!" Xue Jun sneered. "Just don't destroy people."
"Understood."
