Chapter 139 Chapter 139: Escorting tax money? [Requesting monthly tickets]
Zhai Le did not go back empty-handed when he left.
Two altars on the left hand and two altars on the right hand, returning home with a full load.
With a flexible leap, he easily climbed over the low wall and jumped into the wall. Before he could stand firm, a very familiar face appeared in his sight. He almost lost his footing, and the relaxed smile on his face froze slightly, and he stood still consciously.
Call the man softly: "Brother..."
Zhai Huan was still dressed as an elegant scholar. When he saw such a big cousin coming in from outside the wall, his expression was calm, and he was not surprised at all by the way Zhai Le appeared.
"Have you had a good time, Xiaofang, having fun outside these days?"
Zhai Le smiled broadly and stepped forward boldly: "Have a good time. Brother, let me tell you, Brother Shen is too It’s so funny, I’ve never seen anyone like him, so interesting, very interesting.”
Zhai Le couldn’t help but smile when he mentioned the experience of the past few days. His eyes are naturally full of laughter. Her peach blossom eyes are even more radiant.
He sat down opposite his cousin.
I happily share my pig farming experience with Zhai Huan.
Zhai Huan: "...???"
When my cousin said that Mr. Shen knew how to slaughter pigs, his expression only froze for a moment. But when his cousin said that he had also learned the art of pig-raising, he had seven females and nine males in one morning, a total of sixteen piglets...Zhai Huan's many years of emotional control almost failed.
He rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "That's fun?"
Zhai Le thought about it seriously: "It's actually not fun at all. The pig screamed too loudly and harshly. It's just Looking at Brother Shen’s seriousness in making pigs, I feel that this job is quite interesting.”
No matter how boring things are, it will be interesting if someone is with you.
Zhai Huan moved his lips but said nothing.
But Zhai Le understands him, even if his cousin doesn't say anything.
Pig farming is indeed not a high-end job. It is even dirty and tiring. After all, you are dealing with that thing. But if, as Brother Shen said, ordinary people from ordinary families can also eat delicious meat food, what does it mean to be dirty and tiring?
Just——
There was only one thing that puzzled him. Who was the first person to discover that cooked pork tastes delicious? What thoughts and purposes did this person have in carving his own pig?
Seeing that his cousin was silent, Zhai Le thought about his plan with a smile on his handsome face: "If the minced pork tastes really good, you can raise more of it in the future. Brother Shen also said that you can raise it in six or seven months." After being put out for slaughter, wouldn’t it be possible to raise two rounds a year? This is better than other meat animals.”
He was a little thirsty, and then he realized that there was an end game on the chessboard, and there was a cup of slightly hot tea at hand, even as he sat down. The mat still has residual warmth. He raised his head and looked around: "Are there any guests?"
Zhai Huan said: "Yes."
"Is the person gone?"
Zhai Le was embarrassed and hesitated to get up.
Zhai Huan waved his hand to indicate that he did not have to get up: "I just left."
"Oh, fortunately, fortunately."
If he came back earlier, he could show it to his cousins and friends. If you don't go through the main entrance and like to climb over the wall, it's easy to leave a bad impression.
Zhai Huan asked: "Xiaofang is not curious who that person is?"
"I feel safe making friends with my brother."
He has always trusted his cousin and will not pay too much attention to his interpersonal relationships. Anyway, as long as he knows that his brother will not suffer any loss, just as he does not make friends with his brother. Will interfere generally.
Although Zhai Le did not ask, how could Zhai Huan hide the secret from his cousin, who has the best relationship with him, and wrote lightly: "It's the county governor." Zhai Le was stunned: "The county governor? The county governor of Sibao County ?”
Zhai Huan nodded in recognition: “Well, that’s him.”
"He wants to recruit brother?"
It's not that Zhai Le looks down on people, but that he doesn't think highly of the Sibao County Sheriff. My elder brother is not a poor scholar without foundation, and his family is not without foundation in the southeastern motherland. If it was really an olive branch, it would be a bit funny.
Zhai Huan lowered his eyes and said: "There is no solicitation."
I hinted at it several times but he declined politely.
Zhai Le muttered: "It would be better if I didn't. I always feel that this person is not very decent. He acts in a secretive manner and acts like a villain. Although I believe that my brother will not suffer any loss, it is hard to guard against people who really do mischief. Is this visit simply to visit friends, or is there another purpose? ”
Zhai Huan saw his cousin preparing to defend to the death, and said with amusement: "There is another purpose."
Zhai Le frowned slightly.
I don’t know if I should ask what the purpose is.
Zhai Huan confessed first: "He said that Sibao County was short of personnel. Gong's escaped traitor has not been caught yet, so more manpower needs to be sent to search. In addition, there are unrest and hidden dangers in the county. It is impossible to mobilize too many at once. The military strength... I want to ask you and me to do him a favor."
Ask the two brothers for help? ? ?
What needs this kind of force lineup? ? ?
What is even more strange is that such a big thing actually requires the help of two young scholars and warriors who have traveled here...
It is really a bit inexplicable.
"What help can you do? No matter how tight the troops are in Sibao County, it shouldn't be difficult to mobilize thousands of troops, right? Where are the troops stationed in the county?"
Most brave warriors will choose to join the army. It is difficult to see from the outside world, but the garrison is not uncommon. Taking the seventh-class public officials as an example, the Sibao County garrison can also pick out one or two. If the seventh-class public officials cannot be mobilized, what about the fifth-class officials and the sixth-class official officials?
Why ask for any foreign aid? ? ?
"Help escort a batch of supplies..." Zhai Huan paused and then said, "This batch of supplies is very important. The county guard attaches great importance to it and has mobilized all available troops. I'm just worried that there will be Unexpected, please ask me to help...mostly tax money."
The county guard did not directly say what he was escorting, but Zhai Huan roughly guessed it based on the information leaked by the county guard's flashing words.
Zhai Le gasped when he heard the last part.
“Tax money, this, this——”
His instinct told him not to wade into this muddy water.
So he said solemnly: "Even the county governor himself said that the forces in the territory are unstable. If it is really escorting tax money... isn't this a lice on the bald man's head, an obvious target???"
< br>Why don't you send troops to escort yourself?
I was really afraid of being robbed, so I escorted them with heavy troops!
Zhai Huan's expression was unmoved at first, and he almost choked when he heard the next words. He couldn't help but asked in a funny way: "The one on the bald man's head... puchi, Xiaofang, where did you learn this witticism?"
"Learned from Brother Shen." Zhai Le "betrayed" Shen Tang without hesitation, "Brother, this is not important. If it is really tax money, I don't know how many eyes and ears in Sibao County are watching... If we take this A hot potato, wouldn’t it make yourself unhappy?”
Zhai Huan: “…”
It’s this dear Shen Youli again.
It seems that these two are really having fun.
"Brother, I wanted to refuse...but it was too much of a kindness to refuse. The escort was a fake team to cover up, so there should be no big problem. Besides - if something really happened, it would not be more serious. Okay?" After saying that, a flash of light seemed to flash through the young man's dark eyes, "This county guard is cunning and cherishes his life. He will not be unprepared for any means to ensure that the bonded silver is safe."
"Fake team?" When Zhai Le heard that it was a fake team, he was secretly relieved. It wasn't his conspiracy theory. He was really afraid that their brother would become a "scapegoat." However, his cousin's words made him a little confused.
By the way, brother is expecting something to happen? ? ?

I found that Zhai Le and Zhai Huan are too easy to make mistakes. Let me pick and change them again.
