After chattering about Zhao Gou, he just picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and Yu Yunwen's voice was remembered at the door.

After the officials of the entire post office in Yangzhou left, only the two of them were left alone.

Less than halfway through the reception, Ye Qing had already retreated, and then drank tea in the room, and now seeing a burly man with some red light on his face, Yu Yunwen walked in, Ye Qing picked up the teacup and signaled: "Come over for a cup of tea, anti-hangover?" ”

Yu Yunwen was not polite, smiled and sat down next to Ye Qing, and sighed: "You Lord Ye are still powerful, you don't have to look at the faces of those people in the officialdom, you don't have to take care of those people's feelings, you can do whatever you want, you can slip away if you want, unlike me, even if you don't like it, you have to leave after you finish socializing." ”

"I said this as if I was so light, and I was shown on the face at the banquet, should I continue to do it to let them laugh at me and show me my face." Ye Qing personally poured a cup of tea for Yu Yunwen and said.

Yu Yunwen thanked him, picked up the teacup and smelled it, and after praising a good tea, he said: "This is also true, which yamen has its own scriptures that are difficult to read, but I don't know if after today, Lord Ye will still be able to be like today, and still not give them face." ”

"It's not good, I'm a very good person to buy, maybe one day they will rebel. Unlike you, most of the places on Huainan East Road were taken back by you, Lord Yu Yunwen, from the hands of the Jin people, so the officials in Yangzhou should be enthusiastic about you, I should envy you, why did you turn around and envy me? Ye Qing drank tea by himself, and after figuring out the links, he had already made up his mind in his heart, no matter what, he would do his best to help Yu Yunwen and sit in the position of the pacification envoy on Huainan East Road.

"How about getting down to business?" Yu Yunwen put down the teacup and said with a straight face.

"Well, if there's anything I need to do, just ask." Ye Qing also put away the laziness and easy-going just now, and said seriously.

"Lend me twenty people first, when I go north, only a few officials from Dali Temple accompany me here, just in case, so I also hope to borrow some people from Lord Ye, so as not to use people in these days." Yu Yunwen was also polite, and said directly.

"Okay, no problem. Twenty people is not enough, if it is not enough, fifty people, a hundred people is not a problem. Ye Qing said with a straight expression.

Yu Yunwen was stunned, he expected that Ye Qing should not refuse to borrow someone from him, after all, he knew that Ye Qing also had the will given by the imperial court to assist him in his errand, but he didn't expect Ye Qing to be so happy, he didn't even ask a superfluous word, and gave it to him directly.

"Since Lord Ye is so generous, I'm not welcome, a hundred people." Before he finished speaking, Yu Yunwen laughed out loud at his own wrongdoing.

"No problem, I promise to obey you directly, when do you want it?" A token was taken out of Ye Qing's arms and pushed directly to Yu Yunwen.

"The sooner the better." Yu Yunwen took the token, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Lord Ye, forgive me for taking the liberty of being here, at the banquet just now, I heard them talk about it inadvertently, you only have one hundred and ten people in your hands now, if you give it to me today, then what should you do?" Although the Imperial City Division runs errands for the royal family, you should also have a ...... in your heart about Yangzhou. ”

Yu Yunwen paused, and then said directly: "I guess you also know in your heart, Lord Ye, the first person you assisted me in handling errands and investigating the case is Zhao Shixiong, the prefect of Yangzhou and the pacification envoy, he is still in charge of the military affairs of Huainan East Road, and he can dispatch the troops stationed in all cantonments, you and I are not safe and secure in Yangzhou, if these hundred people are ......." ”

"I thought that Lord Yu wouldn't care about the life or death of others, since Lord Yu is so kind-hearted, then I'll just say it, if it's a critical moment, Lord Yu wants a thousand-person ban, and I, Ye Qing, can protect Lord Yu, so you can rest assured, right?" Ye Qing smiled and said.

As soon as he entered Yangzhou, Zhao Shixiong sent Peng Qi to invite him to the banquet, although it was only a preliminary test of the two, and there was no pomp at all, but Ye Qing still felt the crisis, so before he left Yangzhou, he had already passed Wang Lun's performance to Zhao Gou, allowing thousands of people from the Imperial City to go out of Lin'an and secretly come to Yangzhou.

Now the situation of the two is indeed as Yu Yunwen said, which is more dangerous.

Zhao Shixiong is the prefect of Yangzhou, and is also in charge of military affairs to pacify the envoy, if Zhao Shixiong is ruthless, or there are other changes, such as rebellion or defection to the Jinren, then he and Yu Yunwen are indeed the first to bear the brunt, and will be directly slaughtered by Zhao Shixiong.

Even if Yu Yunwen is upright, he can hear it from Ye Qing's words, the Imperial City Division obviously has thousands of people hidden in Yangzhou, obviously this time, the imperial court is ruthless, and it really wants to rectify this Huainan East Road.

So he gave a thumbs up and admired: "Gao, Lord Ye is prescient, I admire it below." ”

"I'm here for you anyway, if you need anything, you can directly order it, you can take people away in a while, some things about Shen Fa in Sizhou, you can take them away when the time comes, as for Shen Fa, when do you want it, when will I let them bring it to you from Sizhou." Ye Qing accepted Yu Yunwen's praise, and then continued to speak.

"Don't worry, Shen Fa is easy to do, the problem is still the lion of Yangzhou, only if you take him, you can be considered able to complete the errand, if you can't take it, even if Lord Ye takes ten Shen Fa, it won't be of much use." Yu Yunwen mentioned Zhao Shixiong, and his brows furrowed together.

"Okay, you worry slowly, I still have to go out. It's not easy to do this job for people, just drinking tea with you, obviously can't help Lord Yu. Ye Qing drank the last sip of tea, then got up and said.

Yu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, put down the cup and stood up and said suddenly: "It turns out that you have been waiting for me all along?" ”

"That's right, Lord Yu also knows that Zhao Shixiong holds military power, and we are going deep into the tiger's den and walking on thin ice in Yangzhou, if you make a mistake in Yangzhou, I will also be unlucky." After walking to the door, looking at the dark night, and seeing that there was no one around, Ye Qing said straightly: "Zhao Shixiong has to be guarded, and Li Xizhi has to be guarded against, I don't know if Lord Yu can understand this?" ”

Yu Yunwen pondered for a moment, then looked at Ye Qing with clear eyes and said, "I understand, I don't understand." ”

"As a heavy duty in the imperial court, pretending to be confused with me?" Ye Qingdao.

"Pacifying the envoys?" Yu Yunwen groaned.

"Yes, Li Xizhi is afraid that he is intentional, picking you up from the dock today and pulling me into his car is just that. Let me sit on the sidelines and watch everything in Yangzhou, but ...... At the beginning, I had an appointment with Lord Yu Yunwen in Lin'an, and I thought that I would have the opportunity to fight together in the future, so I didn't agree to him. Ye Qing walked to the carriage that Po Li San had rushed to, looked at Yu Yunwen behind him and said.

"In this way, you and I are in a more difficult situation, there is Zhao Shixiong to investigate, and Li Xizhi to guard against, but if I have no intention of appeasing the position of the envoy, wouldn't Li Xizhi be ......."

"It's just your idea, what does the court mean? The court sent you, don't you really think that it's just to investigate and handle cases, right? What's more, even if you don't have the intention, people may not think so in their hearts, maybe in their eyes, only the dead will not pose a threat to them. Who are you? Yangzhou was defeated by you at the beginning, a first-class hero, even the imperial court has no intention of you being a pacification envoy, I am afraid that Li Xizhi and the people behind him will still treat you as a stumbling block and a roadblock. Ye Qing got into the carriage, opened the curtain and said to the thoughtful Yu Yunwen.

Then I saw Yu Yunwen suddenly salute Ye Qing in the car curtain, and said sincerely: "Lord Ye's words have taught Yu Mou, the so-called tiger is not harmful, and people have the intention of killing tigers." Thank you Lord Ye for the reminder. ”

"Lin'an City's original intention remains the same, but you already owe me a meal of flower wine." Ye Qing saw that Yu Yun was civilized, and also smiled and said.

"Slanting wind and drizzle building, the best girl and the best wine? Ha ha...... No problem. Yu Yunwen mentioned Ye Qing like this, and then remembered that the bet between him and Ye Qing that day was not a gambling contract.

After watching Ye Qing's carriage leave, Yu Yunwen actually felt an inexplicable relief in his heart, compared to dealing with his officialdom, this Ye Qing was very much with his appetite.

When they met for the first time, he dared to offend the Criminal Department, and after he pointed out that there was someone behind Hong Zun, he was still fearless, and in the end, instead of losing his office, he was reused by the imperial court, and he went to Yangzhou, the seat of the Huainan East Road, one step ahead of himself.

Obviously, Ye Qing was valued by the imperial court, but he was helpless to be limited by the authority of the Imperial City Division, and he couldn't just cut off Yangzhou, plus the imperial court wanted Yangzhou to separate the military and government and choose a suitable pacification envoy, so he, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was the most suitable candidate.

Sitting in the carriage, according to the address given by Wang Lun at the beginning, it was bumpy in a muddy alley, and the two lanterns in front of the carriage were like ghost fires, which could not make this dilapidated and desolate alley look bright.

The muddy water pressed over with the wheels, splashing crisp water in the silent alley, the axle made a squeaky load-bearing sound, slowly walking in the alley, as the carriage slowly stopped, Ye Qing, who was sitting on the wheel, approached the lantern, looked at the address, and then motioned to Po Li San to knock on the door.

I don't know when it began to drizzle, wetting the somewhat desolate Yangzhou City in the middle of the night, Splash Li slapped the door several times in a row, until he saw that the two lanterns were about to be soaked by the rain, and the broken wooden door creaked and slowly opened.

Under the illumination of the lantern, I saw an old man wearing a gray linen robe, a wrinkled face, and a messy white hair, as if he was half-open with a pair of cloudy eyes, leaning down and slowly raising his head, looking at Ye Qing and Po Li San at the door.

"Why are you two here late at night?" The old man, who was about seventy or eighty years old, asked in a hoarse voice.

"On the orders of an adult in Anseong, I came to visit." Ye Qing and Po Li San saluted the old man at the same time, and then took out the letter that Wang Lun gave him at the third aunt's tavern, and handed it to the old man together with the one thousand taels of silver tickets that Ye Qing asked for when Yan Chengcheng left.
