The next day, as soon as the city gate was opened, a caravan of chariots and horses departed from the south gate. After not much effort, Jiang Anyi learned the news that Yang Shaoshuai led the crowd to leave.

Fang Shishu hurried over and asked with a smile: "Anyi, what method did you use to send away this plague god?" ”

Jiang Anyi said proudly: "If you want to fight ghosts, use Zhong Kui." He pointed in the direction of the Longwei Metropolitan Mansion.

"Hahaha", Fang Shishu laughed and said, "An Yi is so calculating, even Marquis Yang has nothing to say now." ”

Yesterday, Fang Shishu left, and Jiang Anyi invited Qin Ziyan in the name of discussing the military situation in the Western Regions, and asked Qin Ziyan to send the famous Longwei to the mansion where Yang Zhongwu lived at night, and when he was discovered, he could directly return to the Longwei Capital Mansion. Yang Zhongwu's actions in Huiye Mansion Qin Ziyan was naturally clear, but he was afraid that Yang Houye's prestige was not good, so he immediately agreed to cooperate with Jiang Anyi's suggestion to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger.

In the ten-mile long pavilion of Huiye Mansion, the carriages and horses stopped, and Zhang Tiangang asked people to set up wine and food in the pavilion early to make a trip for Yang Zhongwu. For this trip to Huazhou, Yang Zhongwu was deeply satisfied, picked up the wine glass and said: "Tiangang, thank you for your kindness, thank you for this glass of wine." ”

The two clinked glasses and drank them all. Yang Zhongwu put down the cup and said: "The days when I came out are not short, I should go back and report the situation in Huazhou to my father." When the capital is moved to the town in October, I will come again, it will not be more than four months, during this time, you will take care of the house for me, let go of what should be done, I don't have to be afraid. ”

Zhang Tiangang promised in his mouth, and thought secretly in his heart, you were obviously frightened by Long Wei's night detectives and fled in a hurry, during your absence, I had better be honest, don't let Jiang Tingshi find an excuse to clean up, and when you come back, maybe the prison will be through. Fortunately, as long as you endure it for five months, and when the Anxi Protectorate moves to Huazhou, everything will be easy to do.

On the side of the road, the curtain of the carriage was raised, and Miss Qing'er's face was revealed, and her delicate voice exclaimed: "Childe, it's not early, let's get on the road early." ”

Yang Zhongwu stood up, and a personal guard led the war horse. Flying on the horse, Yang Zhongwu raised his horse whip at Zhang Tiangang, and with five carriages, he headed towards Wuyang Mansion in Bingzhou. The car made a "squeak" sound, except for the two cars loaded with Miss Qing'er and the four maids, the other three were piled up with belongings, which can be said to be fully loaded.

In the lobby of the mansion, Jiang Anyi said seemingly unintentionally: "Qin Dutong told me that Young Marshal Yang has collected at least more than 100,000 taels of property in Huiye Mansion, and this is not counting the mansion and beauties. ”

"What?" As soon as the money was mentioned, Old Man Fang was immediately stimulated and exploded, and said urgently: "Anyi, you just let that kid go, why don't you send someone to detain his greedy property." 100,000 taels, which is worth the taxes of more than ten counties, and there is still a gap of nearly one million taels of silver in Anxi Duhufu and the town of Yizhen, and I don't know where to raise it, and this ill-gotten wealth is just filled. ”

Fang Shishu was furious, Jiang Anyi was both funny and moved, this old man is really admirable, and he is dedicated to the public. Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly: "These belongings were voluntarily given to him by the Huazhou gentry, and Young Marshal Yang didn't do anything illegal, so what reason do I have to detain these things." Besides, Yang Houye's affection still has to be scrupulous. ”

"Phew, it's your habit of looking ahead and looking backwards and protecting officials and officials that makes the people have a hard time complaining." Fang Shishu angrily reprimanded: "Seeing that someone is searching for people's fat and people's ointment, he is indifferent, and the corpse meal is confused, confused, and ridiculous. ”

The old man was so excited that his spit was splashing, Jiang Anyi quietly dodged back, thinking, yesterday your old master asked me to back down and value peace, why did you change your words when it came to money.

After Fang Shishu walked to the public case, he pushed Jiang Anyi with his hand and said: "You get up, the old man wants to write a letter to Yang Xiangliang, tell him about the good things his son has done in Huiye Mansion, and ask him to send back the looted property." ”

Jiang Anyi got up and gave up his seat, Fang Shishu sat on the chair unceremoniously and worked hard to write, Jiang Anyi stood aside and sharpened his ink, "...... There are flies chasing stinky meat in Huiye Mansion, and they give Ling Lang a mansion, beautiful women, and gold and silver treasures as many as 100,000...... Lord Yang, you are deeply favored by the emperor, and your son's actions have brought shame to the Er family and damaged the Son of Heaven's wisdom in knowing people......"

Jiang Anyi was sweating profusely, Fang Shishu's approach was no less than pointing at Yang Xiangliang's nose and scolding him for having no way to teach his son, and he was robbing his son and living up to the grace of the saint. Yang Xiangliang is the Marquis of Yiyong, the Governor of Anxi, and the general of Huaihua who is the third product, you must know that the six Shangshu are also the third products, except for the Tai Lieutenant, it can be regarded as the crown of military generals. Old Man Fang scolded happily, if he annoyed Yang Houye, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Gong Fang, this letter is too aggressive, let's be tactful." Jiang Anyi persuaded.

Fang Shishu glanced up at Jiang Anyi, and snorted coldly: "You are afraid of death, stand far away, Fang Mou is not with you." ”

Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly, this old man is really hard and stubborn, but he likes this temper. The inkstone was thick, Jiang Anyi respectfully pushed the inkstone to the place where Fang Shishu was handy, and his eyes continued to look at the letter, "...... For the sake of the past......"

In the past, Fang Shishu and Yang Xiangliang are old acquaintances? It seems that he is still a good friend, no wonder this letter was written unceremoniously, Jiang Anyi's heart moved, and he glanced at Fang Shishu, this old man is tight enough, he has never heard him have a friendship with Yang Xiangliang, and he didn't say a word when he was worried yesterday, the real person does not show his face, this old man may still have something good hidden, and he has to tighten him.

“…… Restrain the horse from the precipice and return the conferred property to avoid a calamity. Fang Shishu informs. ”

Seeing that Fang Shi finished writing, Jiang Anyi hurriedly took the pen, washed and hung up the brush in the pen wash, and asked tentatively: "Fang Gong, are you and Yang Hou Ye old friends?" ”

Fang Shishu's eyes showed a look of remembrance, and he sighed: "It's the past more than 20 years ago. ”

Jiang Anyi hurriedly poured tea for Fang Shishu, held it with both hands, Fang Shishu looked at Jiang Anyi with a teachable look, took the tea and took a sip, and said slowly: "More than 20 years ago, the Son of Heaven was still the prince, Yang Xiangliang was a soldier in the East Palace, and the old man was a director of the East Palace, and he had a relationship with Yang Xiangliang. That was Yang Zhongwu or a milk baby, the old man still hugged him, this kid is afraid he doesn't remember. Later, Yang Xiangliang went to serve in the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, and the old man took up the post of local official, and he had never met again for nearly 20 years, but he didn't want to fight because of this milk baby. ”

Although Jiang Anyi wanted to hear more inside stories from Fang Shishu's mouth, the old man Fang was very excited, stood up and admonished: "Anyi, the old man has been with you for two years, and he understands your personality, and your heart of loving the country and the people is not under the old man, what is even more rare is that you have ideas to do things, which is really the blessing of the people of Huazhou, and may be the blessing of the people of the world in the future." This time Yang Zhongwu deliberately made it difficult, I don't know if it was done by the Anxi Protectorate, the old man originally wanted you to back down for the time being, but now I think it is the old man who wants to fork in. Right and wrong cannot be compromised, as long as you do a good job, the old man is firmly on your side. ”

Jiang Anyi already knew that Fang Shishu had an extraordinary background, and he knew that this prince was a figure in the pocket of the Son of Heaven in a few words, not to mention that the official position was only Huazhou, maybe his status in the eyes of the Son of Heaven was a few points higher than Yang Xiangliang. With such a senior taking care of himself, Jiang Anyi was grateful in his heart, and bowed respectfully: "Thank you Fang Gong for your kindness." ”

Fang Shishu waved his hand and said, "It's not selfish for me to help you, it's not worth thanking." You asked someone to send the letter, there is still something in the house, I will leave first. ”

Sending Fang Shishu away, Jiang Anyi called the little official, put the letter in a briefcase, stamped it with the official seal of the assassin, and handed it to the little official to tell him to send it as soon as possible. The little official took the letter to the post station to send the letter, Jiang Anyi and Fang Shishu did not notice a detail, this letter was written by Fang Shishu, but it was stamped with the big seal of the assassin history, so when the letter was sent to the hands of Yang Xiangliang, the governor of Anxi, there were twists and turns.

The official documents of the official government were sent through the post station, and the speed of such ordinary official documents was two hundred miles a day, and it only took three days for the letter to reach Wuyang Mansion from Huiye Mansion, and at this time Yang Zhongwu's team was still more than a hundred miles away from Wuyang City.

Yang Xiangliang tore open the letter, and at first thought that Jiang An was reporting on the construction of the site of the Metropolitan Protectorate, but unexpectedly, the paper was full of scolding. Yang Xiangliang slapped the table heavily in anger, stood up quickly, drew his sword at his waist, and wanted to chop the letter into pieces.

Holding his hand on the cold hilt of the sword, Yang Xiangliang's heart calmed down, the tone of the letter was not like Jiang Anyi's, he picked up the letter again, turned to the last page, and finally wrote the five words "Fang Shishu respectfully". Yang Xiangliang laughed and scolded with a smile: "It turned out to be this 'square braincase'." Wu'er went to Huazhou this time, and I suddenly forgot to tell him to visit when he passed through Huiye Mansion, this 'square braincase' was picky, thinking that I hated the newly bought Confucian shirt that year was soaked by Wu'er's urine as soon as I put it on. Hahaha, this 'square braincase', don't drive in Huazhou, and I don't know how to come and see me. ”

Yang Xiangliang put the sword back in the sheath, sat back in the chair, cocked Erlang's legs and looked at the letter again with a smile, the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows became, and he thought in his heart, it didn't look like this letter was a joke, could it be that Wu'er really looted in Huiye Mansion, making it a miasma, and even Long Wei was alarmed?

"Someone," Yang Xiangliang roared. Two flags outside the handsome hall rushed in and arched their hands: "Serve the marshal." ”

"Has Yang Zhongwu ever returned?"

The two flags glanced at each other, and the person on the left said, "Not yet." ”

"Do you know when you'll be back?"

"I don't know."

Yang Xiangliang frowned, this time he sent Wu'er to Huazhou to check the address of the garrison, it is said that he should have returned five days ago, didn't he really buy a house and raise a woman in Huiye Mansion?

Two days later, Yang Zhongwu's motorcade appeared at the east gate of Wuyang Mansion. Before entering the east gate, a sentry greeted him, Yang Zhongwu knew Liu Qipai, who led the team, and said with a smile: "Liu Qipai, what are you going to do?" ”

Liu Qipai stopped his horse in front of Yang Zhongwu and said, "Young Marshal, I will escort you back to the Shuai Mansion on the orders of the Great Marshal." ”

"Father, what are you doing, these two steps have specially sent you to pick me up." Yang Zhongwu said with a smile: "In the evening, I invited Brother Liu to Huixi Lou to drink, and this time I brought back a few jars of good wine from Huazhou, and called Brother Shang to get drunk and rest." ”

Liu Qipai looked bitter, squeezed his eyes at Yang Zhongwu, and said: "The marshal has an order, no delay, young marshal, please." ”

Only then did Yang Zhongwu realize that his more than 20 people were surrounded by the sentinel and horses, and they were like escorts to the handsome hall of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.
