Xu Buyang was confused.

He didn't understand why he was a hard worker everywhere he went, and it was better to follow Yan Xigui than to follow his sister and brother-in-law, and the two cousins were more shameless than the other.

The "dead" assassin came to life in his hands and took off the face towel aggrievedly: "Mr. Xu, how long will the tattoo on the villain's arm last?" I'm going to be laughed at when I go back. ”

Xu Buyang picked up his left hand, took out a bottle of potion and smeared it on it, and the tattoo was soon invisible.

This is the small residence where the Yan family temporarily lives. Half an hour ago, Yan Gongzi fearlessly walked around the street, and the secret guard dressed as the killer of the Yue Domain chose a secluded corner, and stabbed him with a sword "unprepared", and the weak Gongzi fell to the ground on the spot. Yan Xugui lay on the ground and watched the clouds for a while, until the exclamations of the people sounded around him, and he was supported by the chief attendant and stood up in pain, and his subordinates ran very timely at this time:

"Childe, the assassin was caught, and he committed suicide in fear of crime!"

The people: "Ah! …… Alas. ”

Simple and crude.

It is said that when the "Yanfu Jiading" fought fiercely with the assassin, he accidentally broke his left sleeve, revealing a plum blossom-shaped mark, and the old people in Nan'an immediately recognized it:

"It seems that they are soldiers raised in the palace, who arrested fugitives on the street more than ten years ago, and called them Meihuawei at that time."

The people looked at each other and felt that His Royal Highness King Yue was doing something very inauthentic. Obviously, he asked the Yan family to help him collect money, but he was opposed by the residents of the city, so he wanted to take the lead and directly solve the problem to protect his reputation. Yan is a businessman, the right to sell salt is given by the Son of Heaven, if he is asked to lower the price a little, first, it is not the power of the vassal king, and secondly, it is not good for the army.

"Without the Yan family, as well as the Zhang Wang Zhao Li family, according to the previous standards, it is strange that they are willing to reduce the price."

Although the assassin died, he was also sent to the county office.

Xu Buyang is staying in the morgue of the county government at the moment, and he is now the servant invited by the Yan family.

The morgue is a small room carved out of the cell, and the county magistrate of Yushui County looks like an idle person, and the prison is empty...... Of course, it may also be that the people of Yushui County are simple and have good public security.

The river drum guard lifted the white cloth and took off his clothes: "Mr. Lao Fu lies a few pillars of incense here, and he will go back when he goes." ”

Xu Buyang laughed dryly: "If someone comes over and thinks it's a corpse when they hear us coughing, you have to hurry." ”

The black-clad and re-clothed assassin leaned on the wooden plank and threw the mask to the guard: "I panic if you burn a few more incense sticks on the ground." ”

He came out of the prison and said that he wanted to go to the kitchen to add some ginger slices and put them in his mouth, but the smell of the corpse was too strong. He followed the instructions and zigzagged around the kitchen, and felt into the house not far away where the county records were hidden, and sure enough, he saw something.

Yan Gongzi was talking with the magistrate in the back hall, saying that he didn't plan to report to the official to make a big fuss, as a newcomer to the businessman, he should respect the local people a little, and this time he broke his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach.

Zhixian nodded like pounding garlic, the matter is too big, it involves His Royal Highness the King of Yue, his sesame-sized official, and he does not wade into this troubled water.

"It is rumored that the prince is going to collect grain from each state capital," Yan Gongzi's phoenix eyes stared at the dried blood stains on his shoulders, his face was like snow, "The county should be prepared, there is the largest Yicang in Nan'an outside Yushui City, and Chengdu has been very good in the past few years, so it must be enough." ”

The wind and rain in Lizhou are smooth, the rice is harvested twice a year, the Yicang of the state is built quite spectacularly, and a hundred soldiers change shifts day and night, and the garrison is strict. The army must open a military warehouse when going out, but now the military warehouse seems to be insufficient, and Nan'an has not had a war for many years, so he has to take a righteous warehouse for natural disaster relief.

Yicang belongs to the county, and the design drawings are not in Zhizhou.

The river drum guard who came back with the drawings replaced Xu Buyang, who was about to fall asleep, with a white cloth, a miserable green hand hanging on the edge of the plank, and several people covered their noses and carried him to Yizhuang.

Xu Buyang wrote the official document for the autopsy, and reported to the magistrate one by one: "This assassin has poison hidden in his teeth, and he was already out of breath when he was caught by Yi Jiading, and his body was six feet four inches long......

The magistrate had a headache and said: "Okay, okay, the son will go back to recuperate, and try to catch someone alive if he encounters someone who stabs him." Our yamen is full of incompetent soldiers, and they can't compare to your long-term supernatural powers. ”

Xu Buyang is very dedicated as a doctor: "The adult has a bad complexion, but he has a heat stroke?" ”

"I also serve as a doctor!" The magistrate patted his head, "Yes, this official is not tolerant of the heat......"

Several people from the Yan family went out of the yamen very cooperatively.

*

At the beginning of late April, the weather became sharply hotter, and the temper of Sheng Fuyu, the king of Yue, also deteriorated sharply.

The princess who jumped into the river could not be found, he dreamed last night that the Yuan clan walked into the gate with a cloak and wanted him to pay for his life, he ordered the archers to surround the Yuan clan, but they did not listen, but aimed their arrows at him. Behind the Yuan family came out one after another, there was the Yuan Empress of the first emperor, and the Yuan Prime Minister with a gloomy face, his father-in-law...... And the one who committed suicide in prison.

After waking up, the king of Yue sat on the chair for half the night, and broke into the big tent at dawn, and shouted in a panic:

"The prince is not good! Yushuicang in Lizhou...... Conquered, captured by the common people! ”

Sheng Fuyu was like a slap on the head, "What? ”

"There are dozens of people attacking the warehouse, and the leader is ...... The leader is said to be Yan Xugui! ”

Yue Wang Huo Ran kicked down the long case and shouted: "I have long asked you to arrest people, and if you meet the Yan family, you will not be killed, and now he has gone to the granary, you will report it!" Rice buckets, a group of rice buckets! ”

A few days ago, the news of Yan Xugui in Lizhou came, he was trapped in the war in front of him, and he had no time to care about the state and county hundreds of miles away. He sent his soldiers to Yushui as fast as he could, and found that the salt price there was high, and the people were rumoring that he was planning it, regardless of the lives of the people. There are only a few people in the Yan family, and Ren Fubing can't find it no matter how they find it, seeing the noise in the city, they asked the Yushui county order, but the county order said that he was bedridden with a headache and brain fever, and he didn't know anything.

Yan entered the city early to block the news, and he learned that Yan Xugui had staged an assassination scene, and before the order issued reached Lizhou, Yicang was broken.

"Lord Qiqi, the imperial court military horses are coming from the south!" Another guard ran in.

"South...... Isn't there a river to the south? How did they ......" King Yue's face changed in an instant, "Nanjiang, Nanjiang Army!" Wu Shao actually hit Nan'an! ”

The empty eyes of the woman in his dream flashed before his eyes.

A smile cracked at the corner of Yuan's mouth, and in an instant, ten thousand arrows shot straight at him.

"Bang!"

King Yue collapsed in his chair.

The jade water is beautiful today, the blue sky is like a wash, and there are no clouds.

The bridles of the horses were gilded in the sun, and Yan Xigui rode his horse, looking at the ladders borrowed from the carpenter's shop from afar—cheap, but useful, and comfortable to climb.

The granary sits in the north and faces south, fifty zhang long from east to west, forty zhang wide from north to south, and the two pairs of stone lions in front of the east and west warehouse doors were smashed on the head fiercely. The guards patrolling the city walls swallowed as they looked at the group of commoners with wooden sticks and kitchen knives below.

Now the prices in Nan'an are unbearable, and a bun in the western state capital has to spend a small half of a penny, and due to the traffic blockage behind the battlefield, the rice on the surface of Yushui City is almost gone. Several powerful businessmen in Lizhou asked the government to open Yicang to alleviate the needs of the people, but the officials pretended to be stupid, not wanting to offend the king of Yue, but also not wanting to be scolded by the people. Nan'an has a total of four states and two prefectures, and the other Yicang has opened part to distribute grains to the people, but the Yushui warehouse must not be opened, and the army still has to eat, so it has to take the richest area.

The people of Lizhou are accustomed to living a stable life, and have not suffered from the west, and in the morning I don't know who shouted in the market, and was indignant to go to the granary to call the door, but was not arrested by the government. The county government opened its eyes and closed its eyes, and more and more people were boiling with enthusiasm, gathered together, and finally there were a few more horses, and they rushed to Yicang.

Yan Xugui sat on a horse and admired the fierce folk customs of the South China Sea. Dizzy from the sun for a long time, he rubbed his eyebrows, maybe too tired.

The river drum guards, disguised as ordinary people, first spoke a local dialect and negotiated with the guards guarding the warehouse, and the guards happened to be from Lizhou, and they were speechless, so they could only draw their swords and threaten the people.

Suddenly, a voice came from the side door: "Intercepted!" This is the grain to be transported to Taicheng Mansion! ”

The grain transporter hugged his head tremblingly and said: "If the army loses the battle, you will not be much better!" ”

"Lao Tzu just eats enough today, they love to fight or not, they won't open a position if they win, and they won't open it if they lose!"

The guards hurriedly looked at the wall stacks, only to see the people gathered in the pile rushing like crazy, and the unlucky grain transporter was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, abandoned the first car and fled back to the door. One person grabbed it, and ten people followed, and everyone was red-eyed, and the cloth bag containing the grain turned over in the crowd, and sprinkled a ground of yellow and clear corn.

Seeing this, the leader shouted: "Enter the door!" There's more food in the door! This Yicang was originally built for the people of Lizhou, why are we hungry for our family! Other places are opened, but the jade water is not opened? It's unreasonable! ”

The two sides were at a stalemate, and finally someone climbed the ladder, and the guards on the city wall were forced to release arrows, and a middle-aged man who climbed fell down in response, and his head was torn apart like a watermelon.

The citizens froze, and then a firewater tribulus suddenly threw it up and exploded between the battlements, causing the guards to burst into tears. The shouts poured up the wooden ladder like a tidal wave, and the guards could not resist the menacing people, and were tied with ropes and thrown into the corner. Because of the map of the granary and the distribution of guards, everyone was commanded in an orderly manner, and in a short time the grain cart was carrying a full bag of rice out of the warehouse.

However, after half a day's work, the residents of Yushui City flocked to the rice market when they heard the news, waiting in line to distribute food. A few highly respected

"Thanks to Yan Gongzi...... the woman holding the child was grateful, "My head of the house said that the Yan family helped them carry grain, and there was not a single grain of rice left in the house, and if they couldn't buy it again, the three dolls would starve." ”

"I see, it's the Yan family who has suffered a catastrophe, and I don't want to do an errand for the prince."

As soon as this remark came out, many people echoed it, even if it was the food that was stolen, others took it under their noses, and they would have to get it desperately, otherwise it would be too much of a loss.

Hundreds of people blocked the street, the county government was quiet, and when everyone dispersed, the county lady carried the basket over and asked if there was any loose rice left.

Yan Xigui returned to the house, and the entourage of several people packed their things, and they had to leave the city in time to leave Nan'an.

The king of Yue was not in the palace, and the supervision of the state and county was very loose, and the river guwei took advantage of this opportunity to infiltrate Lizhou, so that Yan Xugui could meet Zhizhou and Yantiju in person. Qi Guo had a salt department in Lizhou, and the relationship with Fanjing had been estranged for a long time, and after some deceptive lobbying, these officials who were supported by the salt tax were eager to collect more money.

At night, the heat of the sun gradually dissipates.

The gates of Jade Water City loomed in the darkness of the night, a little fire flickered at the head of the city, and a few shadows slowly slid down the ropes on the wall, like leaves falling into the grass.

The moonlight shone on the river bank, and the river drum guards breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "Mr. Xu and Gongzi are waiting here, and they will go to lead the boat." ”

I didn't answer for a long time, but when I turned around, I was surprised: "Childe! ”

Yan Xugui fell to his knees, his face was pale, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with dark red blood. Xu Buyang pinched his pulse tightly and was stuffing pills into his mouth, his always cynical face was extremely serious.

"Childe ......"

The river drum guard saw that the pupil was about to dilate.
