Chapter 2 Kaiping County Travel Guide The Zhu family's motorcade continued to move along the flat cement road.
Soon the carriage stopped again.
"what happened?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there seems to be Luka ahead, and there is someone walking towards us."
The guard was reporting from the side.
Curious, Zhu Di opened the curtains and stuck his head out, excitedly saying: "Father, here are two women wearing national costumes."
Women in ethnic costumes? Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma, and Zhu Biao were stunned for a moment.
"Your Majesty, do you want us to stop them and prevent them from getting closer?"
"My subordinates are worried that they are assassins."
The guard is outside asking for instructions.
"It's just two women. This is the realm of the Ming Dynasty. They are the people of the Ming Dynasty. There is no need to stop them from coming. Also, please pay attention to the names later." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Yes, sir." The guard responded.
"Welcome all distinguished guests to our Kaiping County, please have a drink!" A crisp and enthusiastic voice sounded.
"Father, mother, it seems that this is specially to welcome us." Zhu Biao said with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy.
"Chongba, what's wrong with you? You're not happy that someone is greeting you." Queen Ma asked.
"Sister, we have visited so many places. Unless our identities are made clear, who will make special arrangements to welcome us?" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "It seems that someone secretly tipped off that guy Ouyang Lun, that's why this happened. In this situation, we knew that Ouyang Lun was not a good person. We thought that he read too much, was full of idleness, did not focus on serious matters, and just studied all these things. At first glance, he was not a good official."
"Guard."
"exist."
"It is recorded that Ouyang Lun, the magistrate of Kaiping County, went to greet the emperor privately and wasted people's money and money. The Ministry of Punishment will investigate and deal with it."
"Yes."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned his eyes and looked at Zhu Di. He now suspected that his fourth son had leaked the news.
"Dad, you have really wronged me. I just came to Yandi and I haven't even had time to visit my fourth sister and my fourth brother-in-law! I really wasn't the one who tipped off the news." Zhu Di quickly explained.
"I wouldn't dare to measure you." Zhu Yuanzhang made his own judgment.
"Chongba, even if you want to punish Ouyang Lun, you have to see your daughter before you do it. What if this is the custom here?" Queen Ma said.
"Hmph, we estimate that Ouyang Lun is hiding somewhere right now and will come over later to say hello or complain. Let's just watch this show with him! Let's go down and have a look."
Then Zhu Yuanzhang and four others got off the bus.
Two women in national costumes poured wine and served them.
"Welcome to Kaiping County, please have a drink of wine to relieve your fatigue before leaving."
Zhu Yuanzhang was good at wine. Just by smelling it, he felt that the wine was not simple. He couldn't help but raise his head and drink it, "Good wine!"
"I drank this wine too. Let your county magistrate come out quickly!"
Hearing this, the two women in national costumes were stunned for a moment, then shook their heads, "This guest, our magistrate will not welcome guests here. If you want to see the magistrate, you have to go to Kaiping County Yamen to find him."
"Ouyang Lun is really not here?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some uncertainty.
"You can call the county magistrate by his name?" the woman serving the wine said with some annoyance.
"My guest, although we in Kaiping County adhere to the concept that everyone who comes is a guest, it is indeed inappropriate for you to address our county magistrate by his first name. It can easily be regarded as someone who is not welcome in Kaiping County. Once you fall into the trap, List, don’t even think about entering Kaiping County in this life!" Another woman serving the wine explained.
Ho! What a big breath! As for Kaiping County, a small border county, if my daughter hadn't been here and begged us to come, we wouldn't have even come!Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to get angry, Queen Ma pulled him back, and Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became silent.
"Two girls, our husband and I are here to visit our relatives. My third daughter got married in Kaiping County three years ago. She doesn't know the rules here. Please forgive me if I offend you."
Queen Ma spoke gently.
"This eldest sister speaks very pleasantly, unlike this eldest brother. Those who knew she was here to visit Kaiping County for marriage, but those who didn't know thought she was here to kill people." The woman serving the wine said calmly.
"You are so courageous!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.
"Thank you. The county magistrate also praised me in this way, so he arranged for me to be the receptionist here." The woman serving the wine said with a smile.
"." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly lost his temper.
"gone!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to quarrel with a woman and turned around and returned to the carriage. Although the two brothers Zhu Biao and Zhu Di were a little curious, they hurried back when they saw that their father had returned to the carriage.
Only Queen Ma chatted happily with the two women. After chatting for a while, she returned to the carriage with a pamphlet in her hand.
"Sister, what are you holding in your hand?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at what Queen Ma was holding, "Let me tell you, although we are on patrol incognito this time, we cannot take things from the people. This is accepting bribes. How can we control hundreds of officials and kill corrupt officials then?"
"You know how to kill corrupt officials. When they saw us coming to Kaiping for the first time, they specially gave us a "Kaiping County Travel Guide". If you encounter any problems, just read this guide!" Queen Ma said angrily.
"It's just a broken county, what kind of guidance can we give? This Ouyang Lun is really not doing his job properly." Zhu Yuanzhang muttered, and suddenly thought of something, "Sister, have you asked where the wine we just drank is sold? It's so strong Tao, it tastes good, I want to take a few jars back."
"You are so quick to change your attitude. You are scolding others for not doing their jobs properly, and at the same time you are thinking about other people's wine." Queen Ma shook her head, "I told you that it is all in this guide, so you can find it yourself."
After saying this, Queen Ma threw a thin guidebook to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Dad, I want to see it!"
"And I."
So, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Zhu Di and his son started reading together.
"Huo! There's also a map of Kaiping County drawn on it."
"The road we are taking is called Kaiping Avenue. It is a hundred miles long, a hundred miles!!! Behave."
"In addition to Kaiping Highway, there are two similar highways called Gaoxin Avenue and Ring City Avenue."
"Industrial parks, wineries and cement factories are also marked on it."
"Dad, if you want to buy wine, go to the winery, right?"
"We're watching, and I want you to tell me."
“The people who compiled this guide are very talented!”
"There is indeed wealth."
"Compiled by Ouyang Lun, uh"
"Dad, there seems to be a toll station closest to us?"
"What is a toll station?"
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was wondering, the carriage stopped.
"Master, there's someone setting up a traffic jam in front of me. It seems he's a county police officer." The guard reported quickly.
"People in the car please get out of the car and cooperate with our work."
Reluctantly, Zhu Yuanzhang and the four of them got out of the car again.
