There is a neat seven-entry courtyard in the west of Linhua County, covering an extremely wide area. Looking in from the high powder wall, the eaves are like birds spreading their wings, light and agile, and this is where the Jiangnan Transit Envoy Yamen is located. On both sides of the five-level stone steps are stone lions, and red lanterns hang under the tall gatehouse, reflecting the vermilion gate in a blood-red color, like a giant beast opening its bloody mouth, greedily looking at the Yuanhua River in the distance.

A dark shadow flashed through the south wall and fell into the courtyard. The layout of the yamen is the front house and the back house, where the black shadow lands, quickly hidden behind the tree, listen quietly for a while, there is no sound around, and poke your head out to look. In front of a row of houses, the black shadow flashed to the window, the window paper was broken, and the eyes of the visitors were like electricity, and at a glance it was seen that there were shovels, hoes and other things inside, which was a tool room. The moon flashed from behind the dark clouds, and a resolute face could be seen through the moonlight-Yang Siqi.

Yuan Tianjiao re-established the country in Yuanyi County, Rongmi Kingdom, although the sparrow is small, all the organs are complete, Liu Ziwei's generation is old, and the matter of running outside fell to the Qingzhuang faction led by Yang Siqi. Wu Yuanzhen, the lord of the Great Qi State, provided several places where the Great Qi hid treasures, the seven states of the Yuan Tianjiao were based in the heyday, and the treasures collected were considerable. In order to strengthen the strength of the Great Qi State, Yang Siqi took Li Qing, Zhao Liangcai and others to attack everywhere, disperse and incorporate horse thieves, and in a year, he gathered a horse team of 3,000 people, and finally had a foothold. The newly established Great Qi State lacked talents, Yang Siqi was ordered to sneak back to the isolated island, attract the young people on the island to come, and recruit the old department and buy slaves in Dazheng by the way, and the population was a valuable resource for the Great Qi State.

Before leaving, Liu Ziwei called Yang Siqi and gave him a task to pick up Li Mingfeng. Li Mingfeng eloped with Yan'er and went to the capital to participate in the martial arts competition, but by chance met Jiang Anyong, Yan'er didn't dare to stay longer, and after going back, he and Li Mingfeng went directly out of Beijing and fled again. The two wandered for more than half a year, Yan'er was pregnant, and she was a little unaccustomed to the soil and water in the north, Li Mingfeng took Yan'er back to Jiangnan, and Dezhou didn't dare to stay, so he stayed in Wuqing County, Huangzhou, west of Texas (the place of household registration bought by the two), and changed his name to Zhang Tiansheng and Chen Dahua. Wuqing County is only two hundred and thirty miles away from Xinjin County, and it can reach Pingshan Town in one day.

In the sixteenth year of Fengle, Yan'er gave birth to a son, named Zhang Shuyi (Li Shuyi), in the first year of Jianwu, Yan'er really couldn't resist missing, so Li Mingfeng sent a letter to her mother, telling her that she had married and had children, so that her mother should not worry. Yan'er misses her mother, Li Mingfeng naturally also thinks about her master, of course she has to tell her master the news that she has become a father, his parents died early when he was young, and it was the master who pulled and educated him to grow up, and he has long regarded Liu Ziwei as his father.

Liu Ziwei sighed after receiving Li Mingfeng's letter, although his beautiful male plan was successful, he took an apprentice, in which Li Mingfeng said that he was only willing to stay with Yan'er and be an ordinary person for the rest of his life, and he did not want to participate in the grievances between Yuantianjiao and Da Zheng Guo. The disciple has made up his mind, Liu Ziwei decided to let go and let the apprentice choose the life he wants.

Although Da Zheng did not take any action against the Great Qi State in the far Western Regions, Liu Ziwei knew that once Emperor Zheng stabilized the northern border, he would inevitably send troops to eradicate the Great Qi State, and with the current strength of the Great Qi, it would be impossible to avoid the fate of annihilation. Only with the help of all parties to survive in the cracks, Liu Ziwei thought of his disciple Li Mingfeng again. Li Mingfeng is his disciple, an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and a talent urgently needed by the Great Qi State, and having him in him can greatly reduce Yang Siqi's burden. Moreover, Li Mingfeng and Jiang Huayan, the sister of Jiang Anyi, the assassin of Huazhou, became married, and it can become a trick at a critical time.

It has been more than a year since Yang Siqi entered the Zheng Realm, and he has successively found the lurking place of more than a dozen Dimensional Heavenly Sects, sending nearly a thousand believers to the Great Qi Country, which has greatly alleviated the dilemma of no one in the Great Qi Country. Relying on these unwavering believers, Liu Ziwei had initially set up the framework of the imperial court, organized people to trade between the Western Regions, Dazheng and even the Northern Desert, and the emerging Great Qi State began to show vitality.

Of course, Yang Siqi also encountered a lot of nails, some bases with the death of the older generation, the next generation has become accustomed to stability, and is unwilling to devote themselves to the great cause of fighting against the court.

Looking for Li Mingfeng is no less than looking for a needle in a haystack, Liu Ziwei deduced that Li Mingfeng may live near the Yuanhua River, but there are eight states on both sides of the Yuanhua River, where to find it. Yang Siqi made a special trip to Zhongchang County, Duanzhou, and found the small mountain village where he settled according to the address given by Dan Yuanzi, and the villagers took him to the barren mountain in the south of the village, where a barren grave buried the bones of the Great Qi Kingdom.

After worshipping Dan Yuanzi, Yang Siqi not only did not become decadent, but felt more and more that the eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, and could not be buried in the wasteland silently like Dan Yuanzi, and in a few years, I am afraid that there will not even be anyone to sacrifice and sweep.

With the pride of "although tens of millions of people are going to do it", Yang Siqi devoted himself to the great cause of running for the Great Qi country. When the Yuanhua River burst its embankment, Yang Siqi immediately felt that the opportunity had come, and he dispersed the cultists he brought around him to the disaster area to provoke the victims and act at the opportunity. Maybe it can incite the victims to rebel and make the four states in the south of the Yangtze River chaotic, and I don't expect it to happen, but at least it can hurt the vitality of Da Zheng and benefit the development of the Yuan Tianjiao.

Yang Siqi thought that the Yuanhua River burst its embankment and the south of the Yangtze River made the Yamen bear the first responsibility, and Linhua County would become a point of conflict, so people spread the news everywhere, Linhua County was able to provide disaster relief, and the victims had food and shelter, and it was not difficult to survive.

With the flow of people coming to Linhua County, Yang Siqi inquired about the situation during the day, and secretly observed Yuan Decheng, the county magistrate for disaster relief, at the city gate. He admired Yuan Decheng very much, but each is his master, and the more useful people are to Da Zheng, the more harmful to Da Qi, so Yang Siqi stood up with a murderous heart and prepared to kill Yuan Decheng. However, in between, he first had to explore the Jiangnan Transit Envoy Si Yamen.

Yang Siqi hid behind the pillar and listened quietly, and the sound of silk and bamboo came from the backyard. Floating up to the house, Yang Siqi quickly found the fifth courtyard, the sound of singing and dancing strings came from the main house, there were servants in front of the door, and there were maids in and out of the ring to serve food and wine.

Thinking of the victims who sold their sons and daughters at the city gate, Yang Siqi scolded secretly, and quietly came to the roof under the cover of the ridge. Gently unveiled the tiles, the candlelight came up from below, the room was brightly lit, and a round table was set up in front of it, where five people were drinking and chatting, and several women were singing and dancing in front of the table, and musicians were sitting on either side.

After the song and dance, the man sitting on the left side of the table waved his hand hurriedly, signaling the singer and the musician to retreat, and even the waiting maid was kicked out of the door, and someone covered the door. Yang Siqi came just in time, it seemed that these people were ready to discuss important matters, and they listened carefully close to the roof tiles.

"Chang Gong, the minister sent by the court is about to arrive in Linhua County, you have to get a charter, and I can do things according to the rules and greet the angels." The one who spoke was Zou Sujie, the man on the left and the bottom, who was the Si Cheng (Zheng Qipin) in the Yamen of the Transit Envoy.

Sitting in the middle is the Jiangnan transport envoy Chang Zhichao, the court industry set up the water supervisor, the water supervisor under the Jiangnan transport envoy and the Huanyang transport envoy two special yamen, Chang Zhichao has served in the water supervisor for many years, from the transfer of the Yamen of the Jincheng (from the nine products) to do, did the Jin, the river canal order, the Zhouqi order, the water Cheng, the transfer envoy, 35 years between the Jiangnan transfer envoy and the Huanyang transfer envoy, the transfer of the Yamen officials all over the place.

In the past 35 years, he has seen countless Shangguan fall from power, Chang Zhichao summed up a set of experience in getting promoted to become rich, the accounts should be clear, everyone will make a fortune, the black pot will make people back, the backer must be dotted, and the property must be hidden. Chang Zhichao is a native of Lingzhou, there are not many fields in his hometown, his parents and brothers are only a little rich, and he often does good deeds, and his reputation in his hometown is excellent. But secretly, Chang Zhichao has a house in Huaiyuan County, Pingzhou, and several concubines gave birth to ten children for him. Chang Zhichao's greedy benefits have been spent in the outer room, with hundreds of thousands of family fortunes, hundreds of hectares of land, and a large number of local households.

The ostensible owner is his loyal servant Chang Zhi (deliberately to give people the illusion), Chang Zhichao will go to the reunion for more than ten days a year, and the locals have no idea of his existence. Chang Zhichao is eighty-fifty, and he is ready to return home after two more years, and after the officialdom forgets him, he quietly goes to Pingzhou to enjoy life. People are not as good as heaven, more than ten executions of the Yuanhua River pushed him to the cusp, even if he is used to seeing wind and rain, Chang Zhichao also feels unpredictable.

Years of experience have made Chang Zhichao understand that the more dangerous he is, the more calm he must be, and when he is busy, he will be out of control, and as a transfer envoy, he must calm the field.

"What's the panic, the Yuanhua River bursts every year, but this year there are heavy rains and natural disasters." Taking a sip of wine, Chang Zhichao asked lightly: "Have you ordered all the places that should be told?" There is also the book, which must be made clear and do not leave the handle. Lord Qincha is here, at most we will bear the charge of incompetence, and we will not be able to lose our heads. ”

The punishment for ineffective handling is only a fine, a few people sitting who put Yu Lu in their eyes, several people present were relieved, and Wan Huaijie, the deputy envoy on the left side of Chang Zhichao, said with a smile: "Master Chang is a bamboo in his chest, Brother Zou doesn't need to panic, everything is done according to Lord Chang's instructions, and everyone can be safe." ”

Chang Zhichao is a legend in the transfer of the Si Yamen, standing tall for more than 30 years, the official position is rising, and his calmness does make the panicked transfer make the officials of the Si Yamen a lot more stable. Another deputy envoy, Duan Shuang, raised his glass and said with a smile: "With Chang Gong here, he is as safe as a rock, and everyone respects Chang Gong for a cup." ”

Everyone raised their glasses and emboldened each other.
