Chapter 31 Jeju

Author: Hell Cat God

Du Yu and his party of eight rushed to Quanzhou Mansion.

The journey was smoother than when we came to Jiangnan. The tiger skin of the Imperial City Department on my body frightened the people along the way, and even the officials, big and small, avoided it.

They didn't expect it to be so useful, so they did not change into regular clothes but still wore official uniforms to show off.

It is not difficult to understand that although the Imperial City Department of the Song Dynasty was not as fierce as the Jinyiwei and Quanqing's Guanshan Department of the later Ming Dynasty, it was, after all, a secret service agency directly under the imperial power.

Du Yu and his party were all riding horses, and it looked like they had a high status in the Imperial City Department. You must know that the horses of the Song Dynasty at this time were military supplies, and they were not qualified to ride them if they had no status.

Therefore, who dares to inquire about their affairs, or who is innocent enough to get into trouble, if you can’t reap the benefits, you may even get a few big bucks back, so why bother.

After arriving all the way to Quanzhou, Du Yu felt relieved.

Taking a few people to enjoy the prosperous scene of the port city, of course, listening to music is also a must.

However, for safety reasons, Du Yu did not let Yang Chun and others go to the brothel to spend the night. Instead, he asked a few people to select the people in the brothel and take them back to Xianyue Tower to handle matters.

Of course, he didn't have the guts to mess around outside anymore. After all, the medical and health conditions in the Song Dynasty were limited, and he didn't want to let anyone do it just because of danger.

Jiang Zhao was half a Taoist and somewhat aloof, so he couldn't help but make no choice.

On the other hand, Yang Chun, a slut, didn't have enough for one, so he asked for two. The five minions were all young and strong, at the age when they were full of energy. Since the leader of the stronghold spent money, they were not polite.

This night is beyond words...

The guests in Xianyue Tower didn't even sleep well. Some people came to the shopkeeper's theory angrily, but they responded with a light "If you dare to mess with people from the Imperial City Division," they were retorted back.

Du Yu felt that letting Yang Chun and the others relax was definitely digging a hole for himself.

The next day, after washing up and going out to eat, he and Jiang Zhao looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Neither of them slept at all, and even had dark circles under their eyes.

On the other hand, Yang Chun and his gangsters finished their fun and slept until evening before getting up to eat.

After spending several days in Quanzhou, Du Yu and his "translator" Jiang Zhao finally hired the boat.

He quickly took a group of people on the boat and set off, otherwise he would be afraid that a few people would fall into the Xianyue Tower and not be able to get out.

The ship Du Yu hired was not a sea-going ship. In fact, even if there were a sea-going ship, he would not take it.

He grew up in Haicheng. He dare not say that he has ever seen big storms, but he still went to sea dozens of times. Even modern ships with small tonnage are uncomfortable to sit on, let alone the era of the Song Dynasty.

Walking along the river is at least less windy and wavey, and safer.

In just a few days, the ship sailed from Quanzhou Prefecture to Hangzhou Prefecture, then turned to the canal and headed north.

The route Du Yu and the others took was not to go straight to Bianliang, but to Jeju.

It’s not that I want to take a detour. It’s impossible for a boat like this to carry only a group of them. They only take the cargo to Jeju because they pay a lot of money, so it’s not up to them to decide how to go.

After sailing for more than twenty days, they finally arrived in Jeju.

Du Yu rewarded the boatman with ten taels of silver, then took his horse off the boat and took the group to stay in a restaurant in Jeju.

After wandering around for more than twenty days, they were really exhausted and fell asleep after eating and drinking. They slept until the evening of the next day before getting up.

After Du Yu recovered, he calculated in his mind that it had been more than four months since he left in September, went to Changhua to dig chicken blood stones, then to Shoushan to dig field yellow, and then returned to Jeju. Calculating the time, it was almost time to celebrate the Lunar New Year.

He shook his head, secretly lamenting the inconvenience of transportation in ancient times and all the time wasted on rushing.

Thinking again about the timeline in Water Margin, because Tanhuan and Cui Kuo missed the birthday of Zhenghe in the fourth year, he did not go to Erlong Mountain to find Lu Zhishen.

Du Yu took out the Water Margin and read through it, and found that the birthday plan was reported to Songjiang, the Seven Stars surrendered to Liangshan, Zhu Deng secretly released Chao Gai, Wang Lun was captured by fire, Chao Gai entered Liangshan, Liangshan broke the official army and captured Huang An, etc.

It has all happened.

He didn't feel regretful for not participating in it. He originally thought that the Liangshan group was not very good, and he didn't want to have anything to do with them at all.

Even if there are fierce generals in novels like Sister Lin from Fengxue Mountain Temple, he doesn't want to collect them on Shaohua Mountain, let alone Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others.

However, when he was in Jeju, he remembered two people: Jin Dajian, the jade-arm craftsman, and Xiao Rang, the scholar with the holy hand.

Du Yu's system space and the cellar at home are filled with Tianhuang stones and chicken blood stones, but it is not easy to cash them in.

First of all, these things are already rare collections in modern time and space, and it is definitely impossible to sell them in large quantities. Secondly, it is impossible for him to sell them with uncarved rough stones.

The best way is to process those stones, preferably to make them look like they have been on the market for a long time. This will not only increase the selling price, but also be interpreted as a collection.

Du Yu doesn't know how to process jade, and based on the current situation, it's impossible for him to find someone from modern time and space to do it. Now it seems that God has arranged for him to be sent to Jeju.

As long as you find Jin Dajian, the jade-armed craftsman, you can completely solve the problem. Of course, Xiao Rang, the master scholar, can't miss it either.

Since Xiao Rang was good at writing documents, he must have some knowledge, so he could go to Shijiacun to help him.

Instead of being trapped in Liangshan Po by Chao Gai and his gang in the future, it is better to follow him. At least he, Du Yu, will achieve a great career for a long time.

Thinking of this, he began to plan.

The next day, several people changed into the official uniforms of the Imperial City Department and rode straight to the Confucian Temple at the east end of the prefecture. The scholar Xiao Rang lived nearby.

When passing by the state government office, Du Yu was a little nervous. After all, they were pretending, but there were no blind officials, and the government officials came to disturb him.

When I came to the Confucian Temple and made some inquiries, I found out where Xiao Rang lived.

Du Yu and his party came to the door, knocked on the door, and asked, "Is Mr. Xiao here?"

I saw a well-mannered man dressed as a scholar walking out of the room. After looking at them, he asked: "Why is Shangguan looking for grassroots people?"

"I am the commander of the Imperial City Division. I heard that you are good at writing and composition, and I plan to recruit you to do something." Du Yu raised his nostrils to the sky again and assumed a commanding posture.

Xiao Rang was stunned. He didn't understand how his reputation for being bigger than sesame seeds and mung beans had reached the ears of the Imperial City Secretary. However, he saw that this group of people were dressed in gorgeous clothes and wore waist badges with the word "imperial" on their waistbands.

Dare to doubt.

So he bowed his hands and said, "Sir, can you please allow me to say hello to your family before I leave?"

Du Yu snorted coldly and said, "Go back quickly, don't keep us waiting too long."

Xiao Rang saluted again and then turned back to the house. He, a scholar, dared to go against the royal guards from Bianliang City, so he hurriedly explained a few words to his wife and children, and hurried out to avoid annoying the other party.

Seeing him going out, Du Yu nodded, and then asked: "I heard that you have a friend named Jin Dajian who is good at carving patterns and engraving monuments?"

Xiao Rang did not dare to hide it and said: "Your Excellency, it is clear that the common people do have a good friend named Jin Dajian."

"Lead the way, I want to meet this person." Du Yu said.

Xiao Rang didn't want to drag his friend into the water, but looking at Jiang Zhao, Yang Chun and others hanging swords and carrying swords over there, he had no choice but to lead the way against his will.

Not long after I passed the Confucian Temple, I bumped into someone.

Xiao Rang was complaining in his heart. He originally hoped that his good friend would not be at home to fool him, but he didn't expect that he would bump into him. He could only say helplessly: "Sir, that is Jin Dajian."

Du Yu took a look and found that although Jin Dajian was a craftsman, he was better looking than Xiao Rang and had a bit of elegance about him.

He took the reins and walked straight over.

Before Jin Dajian and Xiao Rang could greet each other, Du Yu asked, "Who are you, Jin Dajian, the jade-armed craftsman?"

"You are just a common man. I wonder what Shangguan has to say?" Jin Dajian asked.

"I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial City Division. I am recruiting you to do some work. Come with us." Du Yu said coldly.

Jin Dajian frowned slightly, forced himself to salute, and asked: "Shangguan, can I ask what you are doing?"

"Hmph, how do I know what to do? Why don't you ask Tong Taiwei?" Du Yu smiled coldly and said sarcastically.

Upon seeing this, Yang Chun pressed the spring, and heard a clang of the sword coming out of its sheath. The tip of the sword pointed at Jin Dajian and said: "You are worthy of asking about the secrets of the DPRK!"

Xiao Rang was so frightened that he quickly said, "Sir, please calm down. He just asked casually and didn't take it seriously."

After saying that, he secretly kicked Jin Dajian.

Jin Dajian reacted and quickly saluted and said: "I just asked you to forgive me for talking nonsense. The common people are at your mercy."

"Hmph! I'm afraid you don't dare to disobey me. Let's go!" After Du Yu finished speaking, he turned his horse and drove ahead.

Yang Chun returned the sword to its sheath and said, "Follow up. If you go too slowly, the official will chop you down."

Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian looked at each other and complained in their hearts, but they had no choice but to follow these people from the Imperial City Division out of the city.
