Chapter 6: Master Juren?

Yangzhou has always occupied an important position in history because of its unique position. Yangzhou's prosperity and wealth are famous all over the world, with beautiful scenery, food and beauties complemented by literati and scholars from all dynasties. In the history of Yangzhou, countless literati and scholars have left footprints and calligraphy, and many talented men and women have left stories that have been passed down through the ages.

The beautiful scenery of Slender West Lake, Yangzhou Slender Horses and tempting food have been tangled in Lu Haoshan's mind. Lu Haoshan decided to experience the prosperity of Yangzhou before the world enters a real turbulent era. In any case, this will not be a waste of time.

When he tricked Li Xiangcai out, he specifically hinted that he was responsible for the purpose of raising money. Fortunately, Li Xiangcai did not disappoint him and sent him a lot of money. The careful Liu Jinzhu fumbled on Li Xiangcai and the two subordinates again, and found an emerald ring, two top-grade jade pendants and more than ten taels of silver.

As the most popular mogul in a radius of 100 miles, Li Xiangcai's things are very common. The ring and jade pendant are worth at least 500 taels, which is another fortune, which makes Liu Jinzhu so happy.

The two discussed it, cleared the bloodstains at the scene, and threw the body and carriage down a cliff overnight. This way, even if the government filed a case, it would take some time, and Lu Haoshan and Liu Jinzhu had enough time to leave this place of right and wrong calmly.

Of course, horses are left behind. Nowadays, there are no trains and planes, and horses are important means of transportation. Lu Haoshan doesn’t want to hike to Yangzhou. It’s a thousand miles away from Yongzhou Prefecture to Yangzhou Prefecture.

Lu Haoshan got a horse from Qiyang County, and Li Xiangcai also had a carriage, and the two of them happened to be one by one.

"Brother Shan, then Li Xiangcai is a big shot, his son is a county magistrate, and even the capital city is related. I am afraid that in this way, they will soon find out that it was our work. When we go to Yangzhou, there is no way to guide us. I am afraid that we can't escape." After disposing of the body, Liu Jinzhu wiped his sweat and said with some concern.

The Ming Dynasty's memorial rule stipulates that anyone who is more than a hundred miles away from his hometown needs to report to the government and obtain a road guide, so that he can pass all the way. If the two commit murder cases, they will obtain a road guide. Liu Jinzhu is worried that as long as the order is completed, the two will have nowhere to hide.

Lu Haoshan said calmly: "After me, why are you worried about the way to guide me? Don't worry, I'll be ready for everything."

"Look at my elm head." Liu Jinzhu slapped his head and said embarrassedly: "With Brother Shan here, why are you worried about the way to lead me?" After saying that, he said to himself excitedly: "It's great. I, Liu Jinzhu, have grown up so old and have not left Yongzhou Prefecture, let alone going to such a prosperous place in Yangzhou. Brother Shan, I will follow you in the future. If you have a strange intention, the sky will be hit by thunder."

While excited, Liu Jinzhu immediately expressed his loyalty to Lu Haoshan.

In just a few days, Lu Haoshan completely impressed Liu Jinzhu. He imitated the handwriting of the county master, engraved his seal privately, and then obtained a full dress, horse, etc. of a constable, and finally tricked Li Xiangcai out of the mansion with high walls and deep walls. He also brought him a lot of money to kill him easily and avenge him. The whole process was linked together and was done without any leakage. At first, Liu Jinzhu thought the two were going to rush to Zhushan Village to set fire to kill people.

It is the rebirth of Wu Hou, probably at this level. Lu Haoshan's superb imitation skills and his unsparkled calculations shocked Liu Jinzhu. He originally wanted to ask why Lu Haoshan knew so much, but Lu Haoshan said before: Don't ask anything, don't say anything, and then he pressed his own questions in his heart.

There are some things that are known to be safer.

Lu Haoshan patted him on the shoulder, then immediately took off the cloth bag prepared in advance, threw a set of clothes to Liu Jinzhu and said, "Come on, put it on, throw the bloody clothes on your body."

After the murder, the two were covered in blood. I guess they were seen by someone on Guanlu, even ordinary people would send them to the government. They should not be careless. Liu Jinzhu took the clothes and saw them as a set of coarse cloth clothes of servants, brand new. After wearing them, he felt that his whole breath had changed. This was Liu Jinzhu's first time wearing new clothes. He felt very happy. After wearing them, he turned his head and looked at them. He saw that Lu Haoshan had changed into a scholarly dress: wearing a square scarf, square-toed shoes, a blue shirt, a paper fan in his hand, and a faint smile on his face. What a handsome young man.

"Brother Shan, you look like a juren in this outfit." Liu Jinzhu said with some envy.

"Now, don't say that I am like, you must be convinced from your heart that I am a Juren, a Juren who travels everywhere, and you are a scholar." Lu Haoshan said, as he turned over and said seriously: "Come on, Jinzhu, I want to tell you some precautions."

"Yes, Brother Shan."

.........

In mid-August, it was the hottest day, and the sun was as hot as if it was about to roast the earth. The leaves seemed to be wilted by the sun, wilted and had no vitality. The ditch on the roadside was depressed due to lack of water, and it was hidden in it. It was like being in a steamer, which made people feel inexplicably irritable. In the city of Yangzhou, which is famous all over the world, there was a situation of ice and fire. Outside the city gate, many refugees were either leaning on the city wall or setting up shacks in the village forest next to them. They were dressed in tattered clothes and hungry, looking at the city gate with empty and unconsciousness. Inside the city gate, there were paper and gold, and they were extremely luxurious.

"What are you doing?"

"Where did it come from? Where is its origin?"

"Take out your way, hurry up"

Outside Yangzhou City, a team of constables were interrogating the refugees one by one. The refugees who were sleeping outside the city were a little negligent and were immediately beaten and kicked by the vicious constable. When Lu Haoshan took Liu Jinzhu to the Yangzhou City Gate, it was already late and the city gate was closed. Just as he was about to look for a small shop to stay, he happened to meet the constables checking.

In the sixth year of Tianqi, Wang Er led hundreds of peasants to kill the magistrate Zhang Banyao, thus revealing the wave of peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty. Natural disasters and man-made disasters, coupled with serious land annexation, the undue and miscellaneous taxes became heavier. Farmers and military households fled in large numbers, and there were many refugees all over the country. These refugees had no purpose. They heard that they would go wherever they were prosperous, wherever they were rich, and wherever they had food. Yangzhou was a famous city, so many refugees came here. Considering the health, image, public security and other factors in the city, many local officials would refuse refugees to enter the city, and Yangzhou City was no exception.

However, for safety reasons, a team of constables were sent to stay outside the city to prevent emergencies.

"Master, no, no, that's my life-saving money for my daughter Niu Niu. No, no..." Suddenly, a middle-aged man cried loudly and begged for mercy from a constable. When he was searched just now, his wallet was searched by the constable, saying it was evidence and needed to be confiscated.

That's life-saving money.

With a "bang", the detective kicked the thin man to the ground and said viciously: "If you don't want to eat toast, do you want to punish him? If you are entangled, the uncle will send you to the prison to taste the taste of the rice."

"Niu Niu's father, forget it, we can't afford to offend, we can't afford to offend." A dark and thin woman hugged her husband, afraid that he would be impulsive.

The detective threw the snatched purse from his hand, stuffed it into his arms, and sneered, "You know what you are."

Everyone is used to being domineering by officials, and no one is so stupid that he runs out to speak for the man as thin as a bamboo pole. Nowadays, people are more fond of paper than paper, and everyone is sweeping the snow in front of the door. Even Lu Haoshan is a little numb and stands aside and watches coldly.

From Huatian Village to Yangzhou, I walked and walked, set out in late June and until I arrived in Yangzhou in mid-August. In this case, I saw too many along the way, so I felt a little numb.

If you are rich, you will benefit the world; if you are poor, you will be safe. What's more, you will be fine now that you have a murder case. It's better to have less than more things.

"Young master, where is your origin?" The detective who just robbed money walked to Lu Haoshan and Liu Jinzhu. Perhaps he saw that the two were very arrogant and dressed in bright clothes, especially Lu Haoshan was dressed in a scholarly outfit, and he spoke obviously much more politely.

Lu Haoshan didn't say anything, and Liu Jinzhu immediately responded: "My son passed the exam and came to Yangzhou for a trip from Guangzhou Prefecture."

From Lu Haoshan's clothes, you can see that he is a scholar. He has a high status and has won the exam for fame. That's even more amazing. The constable's words softened a little bit again and said respectfully: "Young Master, please have a way to guide you, please borrow it."

Guangzhou Prefecture is less than a thousand miles away from Yangzhou, and it is more than a hundred miles away. It is also appropriate to ask for a road guide to check his identity.

Lu Haoshan nodded and gave Liu Jinzhu a wink. Soon, Lu Yin handed over a Lu Yin to the detective. When the arrester saw that his expression changed, Lu Yin not only proved that the two people were traveling, but the name shown on it was Liang Yuangao, and his identity was a student of the food entitlement in Xinning County, Guangzhou Prefecture. He is really young and promising. No wonder he is still interested in traveling around these days.

After verifying that Lu Yin was fine, the constable returned Lu Yin to Lu Haoshan respectfully and said, "It turns out that he is a juren, but he is a little disrespectful."

In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient and information exchange was very inconvenient, so it was difficult to find out. It was because there was information on hand, but there were no photos in ancient times. This provided unlimited development space for Lu Haoshan, a master of counterfeiting craftsman. Along the way, the two changed their identities several times but no one could see through them. Even though Lu Haoshan became more and more courageous, he simply got the identity of a juren, and the identity of this juren also gave him many conveniences.

After Liu Jinzhu put away the road, Lu Haoshan asked casually: "Why did this big brother close the city gate so early?"
