Chapter 1338 On the way to the post
Zhu Ping'an's destination is Yingtian Mansion, where the official office of Zhejiang's Procuratorate is located, thousands of miles away from Jingnan. In modern times, the distance is only more than 500 kilometers, and it only takes half a day to drive there. However, in ancient times, this took several days, and this was when horses were used as means of transportation.
Originally it was expected to take five days to arrive at Yingtian Mansion, but it looks like it will take at least six days.
The people of Jingnan carried the old and the young and insisted on sending Zhu Ping'an all the way, no matter how much they tried to persuade him
Looking around, there were people all along the way. As far as the eye could see, the road was blocked. clogged. Looking at the shaky old man and woman walking, no matter how hard Zhu Pingan could bear it, he could only get out of the car and walk all the way.
So until evening, Zhu Ping'an was still in Jingnan, having walked less than a few miles in total.
In the evening, Zhu Pingan and his party entered Duanxi Town, Jingnan, and stayed at an inn, pretending to have a rest in the town tonight. However, after tea time, Zhu Ping'an and his party walked out of the back door of the inn in disguise, leaving Liu Daqiang and Liu Dachui to confuse the people in the inn, and drove the carriage on the road the next day.
"Keke, someone has obviously been promoted, but he looks like a bereaved dog."
The enchantress Ruo Nan walked side by side with Zhu Ping'an on a painted horse, giggling and teasing. Zhu Pingan said.
"My uncle is not a lost dog." Hua'er pouted and twisted his body on the horse in protest.
"Giggle, if you twist around again, you'll fall down and get disgraced. I'll be disliked by some homeless dog. It's not my fault." The demon Ruonan chuckled, and blew a breath into Hua'er's ear.
"My uncle is not a lost dog. People can't bear to leave him. They all say that he is the great master of Qingtian. My uncle is in a hurry." When Hua'er heard that the demon girl Ruonan said that Zhu Pingan was a lost dog, she couldn't help bulging her cheeks and glaring at the demon girl. Ruonan glanced at him and insisted.
"For such a bereaved dog, what's the point of a few more times."
Zhu Ping'an glanced at the demon girl like a man, twitching the corner of his mouth with pride, and said something leisurely.
Traveling lightly and simply traveled much faster. Before the curfew, Zhu Pingan had already left Jingnan County and arrived in Taiping County.
Taiping County had been ravaged by Japanese pirates. Along the way, Zhu Pingan could see burned-out ruins. White flags were hung in almost every house, and the mournful sounds of children crying for their daughters and mourning for their parents could be heard endlessly.
Heavy, sad, and indignant
Along the way, Zhu Pingan was silent, with mixed feelings in his heart. His anger towards the Japanese pirates soared, and he vowed countless times to wipe out the Japanese pirates.
"Zhu Pingan, I now understand why the people of Jingnan are so reluctant to let you go."
The demon Ruonan looked up with a heavy face when she saw the ubiquitous tragedies in Taiping County. Looking at Zhu Pingan, he said slowly.
The people in Jingnan really can't bear to let go of nerds. With nerds around, the people of Jingnan have survived two Japanese invasions and one flood. It's rare for them to live a stable life, especially compared with the neighboring Taiping County. (The people of Taiping County were ravaged twice by Japanese pirates and once by floods, and most of the people in the territory were killed or injured.) The people of Jingnan simply seemed to be living in a peach blossom garden. How could they let Zhu Pingan leave?
"If the Haiyan River is clear and the world is peaceful, I am willing to be their magistrate for the rest of my life." Zhu Pingan turned his head and looked in the direction of Jingnan and said softly, then shook his head and sighed, "Unfortunately, now The Japanese pirates are raging, and there is no peace in Jiangnan anymore. What can be done?"
< br>"The world is very big, there is more than one Jingnan; there are many people, more than 100,000 people in Jingnan."
"Drive! There is an inn ahead, so I went there to stay."
As he spoke, Zhu Pingan pinched the horse's belly, pointed to the inn not far ahead, and drove the horse forward quickly.
The name of the inn is very vulgar "Welcome Guests", and there are traces of arson at the door of the inn. It seems that it has encountered a Japanese invasion. However, Yingke Lai Inn is lucky, at least it is still open.
The pawn shop next to the Ying Ke Lai Inn is just a bare, dark ruin.
"Guest officer, please come in. Just leave the horses to the young ones."
The waiter saw Zhu Ping'an and his entourage coming to the door, and came up to greet them warmly.
Zhu Ping'an and his colleagues are one of the few businesses in their store today. Just a few days after the Japanese invasion, Taiping County was hit hard again, and it has yet to recover from the pain.
"Please prepare a table of home-cooked meals and open four rooms." Zhu Ping'an said with a smile.
"Okay. Sir, please take a seat. The food will be here soon." The waiter led Zhu Pingan and his party to a round table.
Because there were few people in the inn, the food was served very quickly. A table of home-cooked food and a bowl of rice were served in a short time.
"Forget it if there is no wine, why is there no meat?! Are you afraid that we can't afford the money? Our master is accompanied by two maids to serve, and there are also five big and three-year-old nurses to protect him. It seems that he has no money. "
The enchantress Ruo Nan is a person who loves neither meat nor alcohol. Looking at the table of vegetarian dishes, she couldn't help but stop the waiter.
"Guest, please calm down. I don't have dog eyes, so I won't look down on others. Please listen to my explanation, our 'Ying Ke Lai' Inn only serves vegetarian food, not meat food."
The waiter explained.
"Giggle. What kind of rule is this?! Only vegetarian food is served, not meat food?! Then why do you open an inn? Do you think the guests are all monks and nuns?" The enchantress Ruonan rolled her eyes.
"Okay, if you are a boy or a girl, the same applies to vegetarian food. Have a rest after eating, we have to travel tomorrow."
Zhu Ping'an waved his hand, having seen so many tragedies along the way, this meeting will also Can't eat meat.
"Master, are you not willing to give your slave even a little bit of meat to eat?" The witch Ruonan blinked.
Zhu Pingan was speechless.
"I'm really sorry, sir. The store really only serves vegetarian food, not meat." The waiter said with an apologetic look, "Actually, we also served meat three days ago."< br>
"Then why aren't we supplying it now?" the enchantress Ruonan asked.
"Your guest is from out of town, right? Our Taiping County encountered a Japanese invasion three days ago, and the county seat was captured by the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates killed people and set fires in the county seat. They did all kinds of evil. The streets were full of dead people. It was so miserable. . Our inn is Fuda Ming. The water tank not far from the fire broke out and the firewood was extinguished. Only then did we escape the disaster. Three days ago, all walks of life in our county unanimously decided to eat Panax notoginseng to commemorate the deceased fellow villagers. ." The waiter explained with a sad look on his face.
"That's it, I'm sorry." Hearing this, the demon girl Ruonan no longer asked for meat.
Alas!
It's so pitiful and pitiful.
Hearing this, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but sigh.
The group finished their dinner in silence and rested separately. They spent the night in silence and got up early the next day to start their journey. (End of chapter)
