The cold wind howled at the city gate of Suzhou, rolling down the dead leaves all over the ground, flying in the air like paper money flying all over the sky.

Suzhou The city gate was wide open, and the soldiers and officers on duty lined up on both sides of the city gate to check people entering and leaving the city gate.

Recently, the Japanese pirates have become serious in the surrounding area. In order to prevent Japanese pirates from sneaking into Suzhou City to carry out spying, sabotage and other activities, the soldiers on duty at the Suzhou City Gate during this period will check people entering and leaving the city, asking people to take off their hats, checking their hairstyles, and Check pedestrians' bags, vehicles, etc. to prevent anyone from bringing weapons into the city.

There are many people queuing up outside the city to enter the city. In addition to the local people who come to the city to visit relatives and do business, there are also many people who are bringing the old and supporting the young, who are tired from work and have miserable faces. Most of them come from Songjiang. He fled to Suzhou City. The Japanese pirates in Xuhai who were entrenched in Tuolin and other places in Songjiang Prefecture have become more and more arrogant in recent times, frequently attacking and plundering, causing many people in Songjiang Prefecture and nearby areas to flee to Suzhou with their families and families.

The Japanese pirates were wreaking havoc, and the people who suffered the most were the common people. There were countless people who had their homes destroyed and their families and relatives bereft.

Uncle Zhu Shouren, Hu Wei and Xia Qiang were also lined up among them. Among the people fleeing, they were not so conspicuous.

"Alas, they are all poor people. The governor takes pity on you, and all entrance fees are free. Of course, except for the merchants doing business."

The gatekeeper soldiers immediately conveyed the message to the Suzhou prefect. of good orders.

“Thank you, Mr. Qingtian.”

"Thank you Lord Qingtian, God bless you"

The fleeing people suddenly became excited and shouted "Master Qingtian" repeatedly, and some elderly men and women were even moved to tears.

They were so excited not just because they were exempted from the entrance fee of a few copper coins, but because they fled all the way after encountering the Japanese invasion, experienced the misery and coldness of the world, and felt the love and warmth after a long time. We still have people taking care of people Love

"That's great. I'm worried about how I can sneak into the city without the entrance fee. Haha, it's free to enter the city. I'm so sleepy that I need a pillow."

Xia Qiang heard that it was free. After hearing the news about entering the city, I couldn't help but feel happy.

"Great, a good start. This is a good sign." Hu Wei couldn't help but excitedly waved his fist.

"Even the master of the palace wished me a helping hand. It's hard to think that it won't go well this time." Uncle Zhu Shouren also showed a confident smile.

The three of them successfully entered Suzhou City.

After entering Suzhou City, my uncle Zhu Shouren looked at the prosperous Suzhou City. He couldn't help but stop on the street and became very poetic. "With such prosperity, it deserves to be Suzhou City. This made me think of a sentence Poetry."

Hu Wei and Xia Qiang couldn't help but frown, why did this guy's old habit relapse?

"Brother Zhu, let's quickly find out where the residence of nephew Lingxian's family is in Suzhou." Hu Wei and Xia Qiang urged.

"Ahem, wait until I finish reciting this poem and leave. Well, 'Old friend bids farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and fireworks descend from Yangzhou in March'."

After the uncle Zhu Shouren was urged, He said reluctantly. After reciting a poem, there was still some unfinished meaning.

Hu Wei rolled his eyes and couldn't help but said, "Brother Zhu, the poem you recited is about Yangzhou. We are Suzhou. Moreover, it is San Moon, this is the twelfth lunar month”

Uncle The corner of Zhu Shouren's mouth twitched, then he coughed, and forced himself to respect himself, "Poetry, I'm talking about the poetry behind this poem. The poem is Yangzhou. The reason why poetry is so popular is that it is universally applicable. .”

"Yes, yes, I am superficial. I only saw the superficial words and ignored the poetry behind the words. Brother Zhu saw something more profound."

Hu Wei took a deep breath and squeezed out a trace of his expression on his face. Smiling, he complimented Zhu Shouren.

The reason for this is because Mr. Zhu is about to meet Zhu Ping'an, and he still needs to be recommended by Zhu Shouren, or he needs to be coaxed.

Uncle Zhu Shouren feels comfortable.

“Brother Zhu, it’s important for us to get down to business.” Xia Qiang reminded.

"That's right, let's go. Let's inquire separately and then meet here." Uncle Zhu Shouren nodded.

Xia Qiang and Hu Wei shook their heads in unison when they heard about the separate inquiries. They were worried about Zhu Shouren. If Zhu Shouren is allowed to act alone, I don't know if he will create any more troubles.

"Brother Zhu, you come with Brother Xia. Brother Xia is not good at sociability and speech. Brother Zhu, take him with you." Hu Wei blinked at Xia Qiang and then said to Zhu Shouren.

"Well, it's true that Brother Xia doesn't know how to deal with people, especially when he meets a young lady. He is often at a loss and can easily be misunderstood as a follower with ill intentions. This is not conducive to inquiring about information. Hmm , then let me take Brother Xia with me."

Uncle Zhu Shouren nodded and said seriously.

Who is at a loss when meeting a young lady? !

I'm at a loss, so it's better than trying to do anything, right? !

Am I being misunderstood as a deceiver with malicious intentions? ! You really confuse right and wrong! Why are you being called a slut? Don’t you have any idea? ! It wasn't because of you that when he met a young lady, his eyes wanted to burrow into her clothes, she always talked nonsense, and always wanted to take advantage of her.

Xia Qiang was so excited when he heard what his uncle Zhu Shouren said. He was furious, but fortunately he just caught Hu Wei's eyes.

Be patient!

I'm going to meet Mr. Zhu Ping'an soon, and I have to rely on this bastard for introduction, so I have to endure it.

"Ahem, please take care of me, Brother Zhu."

Xia Qiang coughed, adjusted his angry mood, squeezed a smile, and said to Zhu Shouren.

"Haha, that's for sure. Brother Xia, just follow me. I can find out in less than a cup of tea."

Uncle Zhu Shouren said to Xia confidently Qiang said, then turned around and said to Hu Wei with the same confidence, "Brother Hu, then we will divide into two groups and inquire about the news separately. We will meet here in half an hour."

"Okay, Brother Zhu, let's meet here within half an hour, whether we have heard the news or not."

Hu Wei emphasized.

"Okay, it's settled."

Uncle Zhu Shouren nodded confidently.

"Brother Xia, follow Brother Zhu closely and learn more." Hu Wei said to Xia Qiang in a pun, emphasizing the word "follow closely".

"Don't worry." Xia Qiang nodded vigorously. He would definitely follow Zhu Shouren closely and never let him make trouble again.

Half an hour later.

Hu Wei arrived at the meeting place first and did not see Xia Qiang and Zhu Shouren. He couldn't help but frowned, worried that Zhu Shouren had caused trouble again.

The next second he saw two figures running away in embarrassment appeared in front of him, one of them was still limping.

The two of them were carrying rotten vegetable leaves on their heads, their bodies were still wet, and they could smell the smell of urine from a distance.

It was Zhu Shouren and Xia Qiang.

Hu Wei was wondering what the two of them were running for, and the next second he saw a big barking dog appearing behind them. Then, the two people running wildly became three people
