Five days later, Xie Mingze was sitting in the swaying carriage with his head resting on the window lattice, listless.

No matter who wakes up, he sits in the convoy leaving Beijing, driving for five days without stopping, even sleeping in the countryside at night.

Xie Mingze wanted to go to Suihuai with the long distance and difficult conditions, but he didn't expect that besides suffering, he was uncomfortable in a certain part after sitting in the carriage for too long. What he did in the carriage every day was to lie down for half an hour and sit for half an hour. Time, lie on the stomach for another half an hour, squat for a while, and do it all over again.

Repeatedly, if this continues, Xie Mingze feels that he has not yet reached Suihuai, so he has to destroy himself first.

So on the third day, Xie Mingze couldn't bear to ride a horse. It turned out that after riding a horse for a day, it was really good. When he was about to ride again the next day, he found that not only a certain unspeakable part hurts, but also his legs and waist. It's also sour, I can't climb up life and death, and it's more uncomfortable than before.

This put him in bed for another day.

So today is the sixth day, Xie Mingze lay there, opened a gap, just staring at the bigger scenery.

The only thing that made him feel less boring was that Chu Li was able to ride in a carriage anyway, so that he could feel comforted in his heart.

Chu Li brought a box of books with him on this trip, and he has flipped through half of them in the past few days. On the way he finished reading the book, he glanced at Xie Mingze from time to time.

When he heard Xie Mingze sigh for the hundredth time today, he finally opened his mouth, "We'll be at the station in one hour, and rest at the station tonight."

"Really?" Xie Mingze quickly turned around and sat back beside Chu Li again, "I didn't hear you say it before."

Chu Li replied: "I'm afraid that you will find it difficult to look forward to it from the beginning."

Xie Mingze thought about it too, and finally this time he was able to sleep peacefully and eat a few mouthfuls of delicious food.

No matter how poor the food in the station is, it is better than in the wild.

At most, these people just roasted the food, the taste...it's hard to describe.

Chu Li regretted seeing him suffering on the third day, but at this time he was worried about sending Xie Mingze back to Beijing, and he was also worried about letting him go by water or other things.This time he took over Sui Huai's affairs and spoiled the good deeds of the second prince, the second prince would not let him make such a smooth and successful contribution.

The second prince didn't dare to move the prince in Beijing, so it's not necessarily on his side.

So it is more reassuring to keep people by his side.

He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything else.

After waiting for an hour, I finally arrived at the post station. The post officer had been waiting there a long time ago, saluted Chu Li, and then began to make arrangements, including board and lodging, accommodation, as well as arrangements for the storage and patrol of official silver and medicinal herbs for disaster relief. .

Li Si took his entourage to do these things in person, and Chu Li accompanied Xie Mingze to the lobby for dinner.

It was already dark when they arrived, and there were only two groups of people who came earlier at the station.

Because it is an official post, the people who can live in it should be those with official positions.

When Xie Mingze came in, he looked around and found that although there were only two groups of people, there were quite a few of them, more than twenty people, occupying several tables.

The reason why Xie Mingze knew there were two groups was because the other group consisted of three people, the two sides were clearly separated, sitting far away, one left and one right, two extremes, and the atmosphere was quite delicate.

Apparently there had been a dispute between the two sides before they came.

Xie Mingze and Chu Li glanced at these two groups of people when they came in, and similarly, these two groups of people also glanced at them.

Seeing that there were only two of them in casual clothes, the crowd looked up and down. Although they were surprised by the handsome appearance of the two, they quickly turned their heads. Probably Xie Mingze and Xie Mingze were young, and there was disbelief in the eyes of this group of people. Obviously, they don't take Xie Mingze seriously.

The table with the most people is dominated by the first person in the middle, and at that table there is a middle-aged man who is dressed in ordinary clothes but has a great style. He has slender eyebrows and a beard. Sly and mellow.

Xie Mingze saw that this man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw him.

The reason why it is said to be grand is that in a place like the post station, there is no way to go to the village or to the shop, and it is also on the road. There are two women standing behind him serving vegetables for him, and helping him wipe the corners of his mouth from time to time. With a calm face, he frowned while eating the food at the station, obviously not satisfied.

On the other hand, the three people at the other end were much more low-key and had few dishes.

Xie Mingze glanced at it and didn't take it seriously. He was tired and hungry at the moment, and he just wanted to take a bath and lie down on the bed to sleep comfortably.

He took a few quick steps, because there were several empty tables in the middle, and he separated an empty table without disturbing the official, so he chose one at random and was about to sit down.

It's just that he hasn't sat down yet, only humming.

Xie Mingze sat down firmly, while squinting at the place where the sound came from.

It was from a man with slanted eyes at the table next to the official. He was in his 30s, his eyes squinted this way, and when he met Xie Mingze's gaze, he snorted again and did not speak. He raised his jaw slightly, his eyes With arrogance, he clicked on the corner not far away.

Xie Mingze actually understood: Go sit over there, what is your identity, what is our identity?

Xie Mingze: ...

To be honest, the last one who disrespected him was just slapped by Princess Shouzhu.

Because they came this time with a lot of people, officials, money and herbs, so the post officials and post servants went to the backyard to make arrangements, and there was really no one else in the whole lobby at the moment.

Xie Mingze's violent temper, he smiled instead of anger, pulled Chu Li, whose face was dark and sinking, to sit there, and lifted his chin with a smile, his eyes were haughty, the same disdainful eyes as this man with slanted eyes who looked like a butler Lifted: You go, what is your identity, what is our identity?It's our generosity that didn't let you give up your current land.

It was obviously the first time Diaojiaoyan encountered this kind of reaction, even the previous three were furious, and when they knew the identity of their master, didn't they also go to the corner?

Xie Mingze and Xie Mingze looked good, originally these people's eyes fell on them, and they also saw them.

As expected, the middle-aged man in the lead frowned and put down his wooden chopsticks with a grim expression.

As soon as he stopped, the others stopped immediately.

Diao Jiaoyan was frightened immediately, and got up, "Don't be angry, master, I will drive them over there."

His voice was neither high nor low, just enough for Xie Mingze to hear.

Xie Mingze said, "It's the first time I've heard someone dare to chase me down. You guys are really the first, you're so brave."

Diaojiaoyan was startled when he heard the words, but seeing Xie Mingze's age, he felt that the official position was not too old, "Then let you see it today."

The three people also looked up at this time, the leader was an old man, he looked over worriedly, seeing that Xie Mingze had only two people, fearing that they would suffer, he reminded, "Young man, this is Mr Xie, the envoy of salt transportation."

Xie Mingze heard the old man's good intentions because he was afraid that he should not be offended if he was slightly offended by his official position, and he would suffer a big loss in the court someday.

Salt messenger?Surname Xie?

Xie Mingze narrowed his eyes, what a coincidence?Speaking of which, he remembered a person whose age matched him. In Yuanshen's memory, there was indeed a Salt Transport Envoy who was related to relatives. He was the second younger brother of Prime Minister Xie. When he was only a few years old, this second uncle became a foreign official and went to Cao Province. After all these years, he was already a third-rank salt transport envoy.

His surname is Xie, and he looks familiar. It seems that this is the cheap second uncle from the original body.

Tsk tsk, no wonder I didn't like it at first sight, it turned out to be the family of Xie's family.

This Second Uncle Xie looks like the old lady, no wonder the slender eyebrows are so familiar.

Xie Mingze bowed his hands to the old man who made the sound, as a thank you.

Seeing that he was having a good time, Chu Li was also willing to cooperate, so he remained silent.

Xie Mingze held his chin and stared at Second Uncle Xie like this. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that he looked like an old lady, and a mean breath came over his face.

Uncle Xie's face darkened, and the housekeeper suddenly became uneasy, and shouted: "Bold, who allows you to stare at my master like this? Since you know that my master is a salt transport envoy, why don't you hurry over and salute? Back over there ?”

"Why? He has a lot of official authority with a small salt fortune. This is a post station and a public place. I can sit wherever I want. Is it like you said, as long as the official position is big, you can let people at will. Move it somewhere else?" Xie Mingze dug a hole.

The butler obediently jumped into the pit: "Of course, haven't you heard that adults should retreat when they are old? What is your position? How dare you say that my master is a little salt transporter?"

Xie Mingze answered irrelevant questions, and said in a long voice, "It turns out that those with high official positions can let people move wherever they want." He raised his long and slender fingers, and with a slight lift, his eyes shone brightly, and his eyes were full of smiles, " Then if I have a higher official position than him, I can let him move to the corner, okay?"

The butler's face darkened, "It's up to you?"

Xie Mingze stood up, stretched his waist, turned his head and blinked at Chu Li: Husband, can I bully others?

Chu Li rarely blinked back: Yes.

Xie Mingze: Husband is so kind.

Chu Li's ears felt hot, and he hummed.

It was the first time that Xie Mingze pretended to be a tiger, but it was quite cool not to mention it.

He walked towards Uncle Xie's table, and when he got close, he smelled the dishes on this table, and he said, "The post station can cook more than 30 dishes, and there are only a few of you. That's all for one meal." , How many people's fat and people's cream have you usually searched?"

"You, how do you talk?" The young girl who was about [-] or [-] years old opened her mouth at the banquet, her eyes were wide open, and she was quite displeased.

Xie Mingze pointed to a table of clothes worn by ladies and gentlemen, "I'm not talking nonsense, the headgear this lady wears is the latest model in the capital, a set of 5000 taels of silver, and the cloud silk on her body is worth a few hundred taels." Right? Top-grade jade bracelets, 2000 taels, and 3000 taels of emerald rings; this body costs tens of thousands, these two young masters, this daughter, plus these two aunts? Just a few of you are wearing tens of thousands of taels This is just a set, all the year round, according to your harshness, one set per season, one person is 4 taels, and the clothing and jewelry alone is nearly 20 taels a year, let alone talkative. How much is your salary? I remember that your family didn’t do any other business. Isn’t the business all thanks to the third master and the fourth master? If you want to let your third and fourth brothers subsidize, how can they use their thanks? What about the poor ones that the elder brother subsidized? You said you confiscated the people’s fat, my God, this is a corrupt|corrupt official.”

Xie Mingze is not wronging Second Uncle Xie, but Xie Yujiao mentioned it once later, she never mentioned that Second Uncle Xie will go to Beijing, only said that Second Uncle Xie will be found out in a few years for being greedy, and his home was directly ransacked and sent to prison, almost implicated Thank you.

As soon as he said this, the entire hall was dead silent.

Xie Mingze likes this kind of situation that suddenly calms down, how embarrassing it is, he is not the one who is embarrassed.

Just when the faces of the people at this table were pale and were about to explode, the post house finally arranged everything and hurried over, with sweat on their foreheads, but they were afraid of neglecting the imperial envoy Li Wang, so it was strange to see this scene when they rushed in what happened?

At the same time, he hurriedly shouted, "My lord, I'm late, I've arranged to prepare a meal, and I'll be here soon, I hope my lord will wait for a while."

Following the post officer's words, Yi table just swallowed his breath before he had an attack, his face turned blue and white, which was extremely funny.

"Prince Li?" Second Uncle Xie was taken aback, apparently not expecting such a young man to be a prince.

After all, he went back to the capital three years ago and met the princes, grandsons and nobles. Chu Li looked so strange that he didn't think about the royal relatives at all.

Not only Second Uncle Xie, but the rest of the people were also dumbfounded. They never expected that the Salt Transport Envoy would use his authority to play on the prince.

One is the emperor's heir, the emperor; the other is the minister, just because of his status, he is absolutely crushed.

Chu Li looked over slowly, "I heard that Mr. Xie wants this king to give up his seat? Mr. Xie has such great authority."

Chu Li's voice was light, with no ups and downs, but the danger in it made Uncle Xie's hair stand on end for a moment.

Especially Chu Li's next sentence, "Not only is the official prestige great, but the ostentation is also great. It is indeed necessary to check whether the people are being searched for."
