Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

As he said that, he ordered Ruan Laosan: "Third brother, you take a few colleagues to load the grain at the gate of the Wu family compound into the car, and escort it to the county government overnight. Tomorrow morning is the deadline for grain delivery. Don't worry." Don't waste time."

The third Ruan was eager to save Zhang Xiaoqi, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

The Thin Toutuo Gan Zhushou who never spoke at the side suddenly said: "What about Lao Zhu?"

The implication is to ask if Guo Ye can let Zhu Pengchun stay overnight at Liu's house?

Seeing Gan Zhushou who was always silent and thought he was dumb when he spoke suddenly, Guo Ye couldn't help but look sideways.

After working with Zhu Pengchun for so long, Gan Zhushou thought of Zhu Pengchun when he was in crisis.

Guo Ye knew that the longer Zhu Pengchun stayed at Liu's house, the more likely he would show his flaws, so he said, "What's going on here depends on the speed of the rescuers."

reinforcement?

Gan Zhushou, Ruan Laosan, Cheng Erniu and the others knew that Guo Ye's rescuers were referring to Pang Bantou's brother Zaoban who paralyzed Qin Wei in the county.

Immediately afterwards, Gan Zhushou, who was just passing by on weekdays, volunteered for the first time and said, "This time, the third brother and I will escort the food into the city together. If there are more people, there will be more hands. There is no room for this batch of food to be lost on the road. Moreover, send it to the city as soon as possible." After this batch of grain is delivered to the official warehouse, Pang Bantou and the brothers who stayed in the city can also go to Dongliu Township earlier."

What is still on his mind is his buddy and partner, Zhu Pengchun.

Guo Ye nodded to Gan Zhushou, then clasped his fists and said to the two, "Thank you."

Then he asked the two of them again: "After you see Pang Bantou, you must inform Pang Bantou, and don't let the wind get out. Even if you come to Dongliu Township, you can't let Qin Wei and his minions know. Otherwise, it would be a waste of all previous efforts to let him deal with it in advance. It is a small matter for us to bring down the Liu family this time, and it is true to sink Qin Wei directly to the bottom."

Ruan Laosan now admires Guo Ye's meticulous thinking and listens to everything he has to say.

Gan Zhushou returned to his previous expression, with a stinky face like a hanged ghost and stopped talking.

Guo Ye has no choice but to feed all kinds of people with the same rice.

After Gan Zhushou and Ruan Laosan went down with a few yamen servants, Guo Ye waved to Cheng Erniu, who was already gearing up, and said softly, "Erniu, they have tasks tonight, you and I Let's stay together in Dongliu Township. How about it?"

With Guo Ye's current reputation in the soap class and Cheng Erniu's IQ, he will naturally be whatever Guo Ye says.

Then he asked: "Brother Guo, shall we continue to stay at your father-in-law's house?"

Guo Ye shook his head, pointed in the direction of Liu's house, and snorted: "Tonight is not so comfortable, we must stay outside the Liu's compound tonight, to prevent Lao Zhu from being caught by Liu Laolai. Move the food quickly. Moreover, we are guarding outside, if Lao Zhu knows, he will have a solid foundation in sleeping in Liu's house."

After speaking, he sighed with concern.

Even though Zhu Pengchun likes to make money, he likes to seek small gains, but this time he took a big risk to sneak into the Liu family.Moreover, they are all brothers in the same class. If they do not give up or abandon them, they are truly brothers.

He is not Nian Gengyao, a famous general during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. He used the blood of his brothers to dye his own feathers on the top of his head, trying to rise up step by step. This is not the style of Guo Ye Guo Xiaoge.

Chapter 25

At this time, it was already the first watch, and [-] door-closing drums were knocked on the tower of the east gate of Longxi City, which meant that the city gate would start to be closed and a curfew would be entered.

The so-called curfew, as the name implies, is that no travel is allowed at night. If you come out to make a fuss during the curfew period, you will have nothing to do. If you commit a night crime, you will not be allowed to run, and you will be whipped at least dozens of times.

Datang has implemented a curfew policy since the founding of the country, from the first watch to the fifth watch, which is what we usually call seven o'clock in the evening to five o'clock in the morning.

But people are alive, rules are dead, how can a living person let urine suffocate to death?

If it is really like the regulations of the Tang Dynasty that people are not allowed to go out from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] am, how can it show that the roads in the prosperous Tang Dynasty did not pick up lost items, and did not close their doors at night?

How can it be possible for the capital of the Tang Dynasty like Chang'an, or an international city like Luoyang, to enforce a curfew on the first watch (that is, [-] o'clock in the evening)?

Even if you close the door at [-] o'clock in the evening and get under the covers to make people, there will always be times when you get tired.

Therefore, although the national policy stipulates that the curfew will start at [-]:[-] p.m., basically all states, counties and counties will move the curfew time to the end of the second watch (that is, twelve o'clock in the evening).

However, Longxi County is a special case. As soon as the first watch arrives, the East Gate will ring [-] drums, the city gate will be closed, and the curfew will be enforced.

How dare you come out after seven o'clock without fear of death? If you are caught by soldiers patrolling the city, even if you don't die, you will have to peel off your skin.

Without him, it is because this is the rule set by the county magistrate of Longxi City. Six years ago, the county magistrate established this rule when he took office in Longxi County.

As for why the county magistrate made this rule, it is not known.

In the three-acre land in Longxi County, the county magistrate is in charge of the sky and the earth, and he has the final say on everything, what else can he do?

This would be a pain to suffocate those night owls who like to come out to fool around in the middle of the night, but when they think of the piercing pain of whipping dozens of times, no one dares to take the risk.

However, this seemingly unreasonable move has played a certain positive role in the security of Longxi County at night. At least people who come out to commit crimes at night are no longer as frequent and serious as before.

Of course, the curfew policy is not applicable to some special industries, and the third industries such as brothels and prostitutes are the first to bear the brunt.

Who has ever seen a brothel open for business in broad daylight, whores, prostitutes and fans come out to solicit customers?

After the sound of six hundred closed-door drums, Pang Feihu stood at the east gate and stomped his feet secretly anxiously, muttering in his mouth: "Why don't you come back? Once the city gate is closed, even if we bring back the food tomorrow, it won't matter." Yeah."

At this time, a yamen servant who was in charge of guarding the east gate stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Boss, the sound of the closed door drum has passed, shouldn't it be time to close the city gate?"

They are all from the Zaoban, and the yamen servants all know what happened to their Zaoban.But it’s all over now, if the city gate is not closed, it will violate the county magistrate’s curfew policy. It's not Guede's reputation for ruthless killing.

Pang Feihu breathed out, frowned, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, this guy Guo Ye is clever in doing things and has a prudent style. He is by no means a boastful person. The team leader can trust him."

The gatekeeper looked at Pang Feihu with a complicated expression, and thought, what else can we do?Naturally, follow the waves of Pang Feihu.

Just when Pang Feihu was restless, Zhang Xiaoqi, who was in charge of knocking on the closed door upstairs, suddenly went crazy, ran down the tower hurriedly, pulled Pang Feihu's official uniform and shouted: "Come back, team leader, they Come back, look!"

As he spoke, he pointed at a group of figures not far from the east gate.

Pang Feihu's beard trembled, and he looked carefully into the distance, no, he really came back.

Isn't the thin bamboo pole in the lead Gan Zhushou?The walking figure of the person next to him was Ruan Laosan, yes, it was them, they couldn't be wrong.

Then look at a few yamen servants following behind, guarding a dozen or twenty mule carts and ox carts. The carts are full of sacks and sacks, isn't it just food?

Pang Feihu clenched his fists, patted Zhang Xiaoqi's shoulder excitedly, and shouted excitedly: "Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, your life is good, as soon as this food enters the city gate and enters the official warehouse, your head can be regarded as Keep it."

For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Zhang Xiaoqi couldn't help touching his neck and nodding in agreement, sighing in his heart, he really owed Guo Ye a huge favor, no, he owed him his life.

Under the help of Pang Feihu, several government servants ran out of the east gate, helped Gan Zhushou and others drive the mule cart and ox cart, and quickly entered the east gate.

After nearly [-] mule carts entered the city gate, the east gate of Longxi City was slowly closed and the curfew was officially enforced.

Pang Feihu directed everyone not to rest yet, and in order to avoid long nights and dreams, he directly pulled the tens of thousands of catties of grain to the official warehouse next to the county government for storage.

Then he ordered Zhang Xiaoqi to quickly invite Liang Su, Liang Gongzuo, an official of the household Cao, to arrange personnel to go to the official warehouse to verify the registration and filing, and quickly hand over the tens of thousands of catties of tax and food.

……

……

After paying the tens of thousands of catties of tax and food, Ruan Laosan repeated Guo Ye's words to Pang Feihu one by one.
