Xincheng, Yangzhou banknote Yamen.

Since coming to Yangzhou, Li Yu's life has been very happy. Just turning a blind eye to some merchant ships can get a lot of kickbacks, not to mention a piece of the pie.

Because of his age here, and he is only a Nanjing official from Wupin, he has no hope for his career. I only hope that I can stay in Yangzhou for a longer time and earn more money to return to my hometown, which can be regarded as a glorious ancestor.

On that big bed built with a lot of money, Li Yu was sleeping with his chest open, and his fat belly rose and fell regularly. There were two slender young women lying next to them, and the air was still filled with the smell of alcohol.

A housekeeper with a mustache pushed the door in from the outside, and when he came to the bed, he first looked greedily at the two women on the bed, and then gently pushed Li Yu's fat shoulder.

"What time is it, what are you arguing about me?!" Li Yu came from his dream, but he felt that he had obviously not slept enough, and even asked with great dissatisfaction.

The housekeeper couldn't help but glance at the fat woman who turned over, and then replied in a low voice: "Back to the master, He Zhifu and Xu Yushi have passed!" ”

"Get up and dress your master!"

Li Yu learned that it was the two of them coming, and immediately slapped the thin woman next to her on the buttocks, which made the woman who was in a dream wake up. Just looked at the housekeeper staring at him with squinting eyes, and was so shocked that he was busy looking for a quilt cover.

"Since it's a lowly membership, what else is there to hide!"

Li Yu looked down on this young Qinglou woman from the bottom of his heart, and seemed to count down with disdain.

The thin woman was born in a poor peasant family, but because of a flood the year before last, she was forced to sell to the Qinglou. Although she has been reduced to a lowly status, she is still self-love, and these words pierced her heart like a knife.

The fat woman secretly pulled her, got up from the bed naked, and smiled at Li Yu: "Master has taught me that our sister will dress you now!" ”

Soon, Li Yu swaggered out wearing a five-grade official uniform and a black gauze hat, resolutely looking majestic.

The thin woman watched Li Yu leave, but she couldn't hold back any longer, and lay on the bedside with tears gushing out and screaming: "Lao Tzu is really unfair! ”

"Sister, don't worry! This 'good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil', God will definitely send someone to clean him up! The fat woman immediately comforted.

Li Yu walked through the crooked corridor and came to the living room, where He Dongxu, the prefect of Yangzhou, and Xu Yi, the imperial historian of Lianghuai, were sitting in the living room, and they had been waiting for a long time.

"What? He actually arrested Xu Yuanji? ”

When Li Yu heard this, his eyes couldn't help but widen.

Because the new city is closer to the river, the Yangzhou banknote gate is located next to the new city banknote gate, so the news will inevitably lag behind, and it is only then that we know that this major event has occurred. doll

He Dongxu already knew Li Yu's living habits, but he didn't mean anything about it, so he said curiously: "In addition to the son-in-law of Xu Siqing's family, there are also the sons of Gui Gongzi, the sons of Lord Chen's family, the sons of Commander Yang's family, and the sons of Fan Qianshan and Yang Dashi have all been arrested!" ”

Li Yu learned that his son had been arrested, but he couldn't help but turn his head and stare at the housekeeper next to him.

The housekeeper replied helplessly: "Didn't Fan Yuanwai send a house to his son?" The old slave saw that he didn't come back last night, thinking that the son was the same as a few days ago, and he stayed in the new house and didn't come back! ”

Xu Yi quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Li Yu, who had made a lot of money in Yangzhou, but he refused to even buy a house, but accepted a bribe from Fan Qianshan.

Li Yu knew that he couldn't hold the housekeeper accountable, so he said angrily with a calm face: "It's just that he doesn't give us face, he doesn't even give Xu Siqing face, and he doesn't even pay attention to Xu Gelao, it's really arrogant!" ”

This "he" naturally refers to the new Qincha Lin Haoran.

"According to the old bustard in Mingchun Building, it was indeed their fault last night! A group of them didn't care about it, but they took the house slaves to break into the lotus pond and almost injured the entourage. Xu Yi pinched the lid of the tea and glanced at Li Yu, and said matter-of-factly.

Although his son is also unsuccessful, he has a lesson in the capital, and when he learned that Lin Haoran was going here, he sent his son back to his hometown. If not, his son would have been involved again, rather than sitting on the sidelines, as he is now.

"Although Xu Gongzi and the others were at fault first, Lin Haoran was not injured at all, and this matter is a big fuss!" He Dongxu followed Lin Haoran and broke openly, and he couldn't wait for everyone to be on the same front, and he also supported the Dao.

Xu Yi glanced up at He Dongxu, if it happened to He Dongxu, he was sure that He Dongxu had gone more than Lin Haoran, not as generous as he said now.

Li Yu received He Dongxu's support, and he made a plan: "There is no prison in the Salt Inspection Academy, so where is Lin Haoran locked up?" ”

"He's putting people in my prison!" He Dongxu's expression was a little complicated, and he replied honestly.

He also never thought that it would be safer for people to be locked up in the Jiangdu County Ya Prison, and it would be safer for the county magistrate Ma Chuyuan to be in charge, but Lin Haoran chose the government jail under his control.

Li Yu was slightly surprised, but then his eyes lit up slightly and he proposed: "Since the person is locked up in the government prison, why don't we release the person now?" ”

Before He Dongxu could answer, Xu Yi immediately vetoed: "This move is inappropriate!" Facing the puzzled eyes of the two, he explained seriously: "Lin Haoran is very good at power, and he has the heart to get rid of us!" If we release people now, then he will inevitably take advantage of the problem and stab this matter directly to the court, and the teacher may not be able to protect us! ”

Li Yu and He Dongxu were secretly frightened, although they wanted to fight against Lin Haoran and save Xu Gongzi, but they didn't think of giving up their black hats.

He Dongxu's brows furrowed slightly, and he said worriedly at Xu Yi: "If we don't rescue Xu Gongzi, and don't say that we can't explain to Xu Siqing, the teacher can't explain it!" ”

Xu Yi already had a plan in his heart, first took a sip of tea, and then met the eyes of the two and said: "Although the three of us are not easy to come forward, there is one person who is suitable!" ”

"Who?" He Dongxu and Li Yu were aroused and immediately asked in unison.

The corners of Xu Yi's mouth rose slightly, and he replied slyly: "Commander Yang can't get a treasure for Yang Gongzi, if we give him a little support, do you think he dares to go to the government prison to raise people?" ”
