The cold wind howled at the city gate of Suzhou, and the dead leaves fell all over the ground, swaying and fluttering, like paper money flying all over the sky.

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

Recently, the Japanese infestation has become serious in the surrounding areas. In order to prevent Japanese pirates from sneaking into Suzhou City to carry out spying and sabotage activities, during this period of time, the soldiers on duty at the gate of Suzhou City will check the people entering and leaving the city, requiring people to take off their hats, check their hairstyles, and also check the luggage and vehicles of pedestrians. Wait, to prevent someone 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 visiting relatives and doing business in the city, there are also many people with the old and the young, dusty and miserable. Most of them escaped from Songjiang Mansion and came to Suzhou City. . The Japanese pirates in Xu Hai, who are entrenched in Tuolin and other places in Songjiang Mansion, have become more and more aggressive recently, frequently attacking and looting, causing many people in Songjiang Mansion and nearby people to flee to Suzhou with their families.

The Japanese pirates were rampant, and the people who suffered the most were the common people. There were countless people who broke their homes and lost their relatives.

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

"Well, they are all poor people. The lord of the government takes pity on you, and all the entry fees are waived. Of course, merchants who do business are excluded."

The soldiers guarding the gate immediately conveyed the good order of the prefect of Suzhou.

"Thank you, Master Qingtian."

"Thank you Lord Qingtian, God bless"

The people who fled were suddenly excited, shouting "Master Qingtian" again and again, and some elderly men and women even burst into tears.

They were so excited not only because they were exempted from the entry fee of a few copper coins, but because after encountering Japanese invaders, they fled all the way, tasted the misery and severe cold in the world, and felt love and warmth after a long absence. of

"That's great, I'm worried that there is no entrance fee, how can I sneak into the city, hehe, this is free to enter the city, I really sleepy and come to the pillow."

Xia Qiang couldn't help being happy when he heard the news that he could enter the city for free.

"Great, a good start, this is a good sign." Hu Wei couldn't help pumping his fist excitedly.

"Even the lord of the government wished me a helping hand. It's hard to think things don't go well this time." Uncle Zhu Shouren also showed a confident smile.

The three entered Suzhou City smoothly.

After entering Suzhou City, Uncle Zhu Shouren looked at the bustling Suzhou City, and couldn't help but stop on the side of the street. His poems were full of enthusiasm, "It's so prosperous, it really is Suzhou City. This reminds me of a poem."

Hu Wei and Xia Qiang couldn't help frowning, why did this guy's old problem recur.

"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, I'll leave after I finish reciting this poem. Well, 'The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks will go down to Yangzhou in March'."

Uncle Zhu Shouren said reluctantly after being urged, after reciting a poem, there was still some meaning left.

Hu Wei rolled his eyes, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Zhu, the poem you chanted is about Yangzhou, and this is Suzhou. Besides, it's March, and this is the twelfth lunar month." "

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

"Yes, yes, I am superficial. I only see the superficial words, ignoring the poetic meaning behind the words. Brother Zhu sees more profoundly."

Hu Wei took a deep breath, squeezed a smile on his face, and complimented Zhu Shouren.

The reason for this is because the audience with Zhu Pingan and Master Zhu is coming soon, and Zhu Shouren still needs to be recommended, and he still needs to be coaxed.

Uncle Zhu Shouren felt better.

"Brother Zhu, it's important for us to do business." Xia Qiang reminded.

"Yes, yes, let's go, let's inquire separately, and then gather here." Uncle Zhu Shouren nodded.

Xia Qiang and Hu Wei shook their heads unanimously when they heard that they split up to inquire. They were not worried about Zhu Shouren. If Zhu Shouren was allowed to act alone, I don't know if he would make any more troubles.

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

"Well, indeed, brother Xia doesn't know how to deal with people, especially when meeting young ladies, he is often at a loss and is easily misunderstood as a disciple with malicious intentions, which is not conducive to inquiring information. Well, then let me take Follow Brother Xia."

Uncle Zhu Shouren nodded and said solemnly.

Who was at a loss when they met the little lady? !

I'm at a loss, so it's better than me doing something wrong, right? !

I was misunderstood as a disciple with malicious intentions? ! You really turned black and white! Why are you being called a disciple? Don't you have any clues in your mind? ! It's not because of you, when I meet a little lady, I can't wait to get my eyes into her clothes, and you always talk nonsense, and you always want to take advantage of her.

Xia Qiang almost burst into anger when he heard what his uncle Zhu Shouren said. Fortunately, he just caught Hu Wei's eyes.

to beat!

I'm going to visit Zhu Pingan and Mr. Zhu soon, and I still need to be recommended by this bastard, so I have to bear with it.

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

Xia Qiang coughed, adjusted his anger, squeezed a smile, and said to Zhu Shouren, clasping his hands.

"Hehe, that's for sure. Brother Xia, just follow me. I can find out within a cup of tea."

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

"Okay, Brother Zhu, then we will meet here within half an hour, regardless of whether we have heard the news or not."

Hu Wei emphasized.

"Okay, it's a deal."

Uncle Zhu Shouren nodded confidently.

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

"Don't worry." Xia Qiang nodded vigorously, he will definitely follow Zhu Shouren closely, and will never let him stab someone again.

Half an hour later.

Hu Wei arrived at the meeting place first, but he didn't see Xia Qiang and Zhu Shouren, so he couldn't help frowning, worried that Zhu Shouren had caused trouble again.

In the next second, he saw two figures fleeing in embarrassment appear in front of him, and one of them was still limping.

The two of them had a rotten vegetable leaf on their heads, their bodies were still wet, and they could smell urine from afar.

It was Zhu Shouren and Xia Qiang.

Hu Wei was wondering why the two were running, and the next second he saw a big barking dog appearing behind them.

Then, the two running wildly turned into three
