Chapter 63 Growing Greed in a Poor Country

If high-ranking officials gather to drink in Bianliang, it must be golden, purple, silver and green, and the crown is gathered, and Bianliang Tokyo is the center of the Great Song Dynasty.

At the banquet of Jeju Mansion Yin, although all the seats were local officials and gentry, there was not even a person wearing a scarlet uniform.

Yang Lin walked through the city, and happened to pass a slightly dilapidated street, and the leading Jeju government official had an inexplicable look in his eyes, and said for no reason: "Although this place is close, it is a pickled place, let's take a detour." ”

"The official is hungry, where to go is not to walk, when I came, I climbed a few barren mountains, so let's go from here."

The other officials looked embarrassed, but after all, they still did not dare to disobey, and they all looked at their companions who spoke first in surprise.

Lu Wang, who was beside Yang Lin, saw it in his eyes, lowered his head and whispered a few words to Yang Lin, Yang Lin said in a low voice: "We are just passing by, don't be nosy." ”

Lu Wang turned his head, but his eyes kept looking at the Jeju duke who pointed out the shortcut.

The official bowed his head, not daring to face the gaze of his companions, nor the gaze of the people around him.

After a while, when I entered the street, there were mostly beggars in tattered clothes on both sides, watching this team of brightly armored teams pass by the roadside with their hands in their sleeves, their eyes glazed like clay sculptures, and occasionally they could only see them move, raising their sleeves and rubbing the snot that flowed to their mouths.

On both sides were thatched on the ground, and there were many scrawny people, lying motionless on them, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

This Jeju... It seems a little poor.

Yang Lin beckoned, wanting to call the male over, but unfortunately he lowered his head and didn't see it.

Lu Wang kept paying attention, so he went over and patted him on the shoulder, and shouted, "Qin Cha called you, can't you hear it?" ”

The public stared at him with round eyes and seemed to be very frightened, and walked over and stammered, "What do you want to tell the villain?" ”

Yang Lin didn't ask directly, but chatted casually, and said, "What's your name?" ”

"The villain He Tao is the envoy of the Sandu here, and he was ordered by Fu Yin to escort Yang Qincha."

He Tao? Yang Lin suddenly felt a little familiar, isn't this the inspection of the ears that were cut off in the Water Margin? I didn't expect Jeju to really have such an official.

"Are these all your beggars in Jeju Province?"

"Chincha's eyes are like torches, these are the people of our Jeju Prefecture..."

Speaking is an art, and learning to be infinitely useful.

In just one sentence, Yang Lin suddenly understood in his heart that this little official must know the inside story, and he was afraid that he would be in a nest with Fu Yin's snakes and rats, so he didn't dare to report it.

This is not the place to talk, Yang Lin didn't ask much, and after a while, he arrived at Li Chongwen's mansion.

Contrary to Yang Lin's expectations, in the dilapidated Jeju Mansion, this house looks extremely spacious, the mansion stretches from West Street to the South River Bank, covering an area of 100 acres and more than 500 houses.

The houses in the house are distinct layer by layer, scattered, the pavilions are magnificent, and the bearing is extraordinary.

Entering the gate, the middle door, facing the living room of the stone foundation wooden pillar, the square flower window, the partition door is picked, and the inside and outside are decorated with large pieces of wood carvings and birds, which looks antique.

Yang Lin secretly spoke, damn that Bianliang is a rich nest, and the outside is all poor and remote, I think this house is not timid in Bianliang Xicheng, where nobles gather.

Li Chongwen's whole family stood in front of the door, stepped forward with a smile and said, "The lower officials have come to see Yang Qincha, and Qincha has worked hard from afar." ”

In this era, adults are not spoken, and the word adult is specifically called one's father. When ordinary officials meet their superiors, those who are familiar with the grace of promotion are called Enxiang, otherwise most of them are commensurate with their official positions. And unless it is a sacrifice to the heavens and ancestors or a great court, or if you have committed a great sin that will be destroyed by heaven and earth and want to confess and repent, you will not bow down. Even when he saw the emperor, he also bent down and saluted.

Yang Lin put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "There is a banquet set up by Lao Li Mansion Yin, Ben Qin sent to Jeju, and he saw singing and dancing everywhere, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, all of which were the credit of Li Mansion Yin." ”

As soon as these words came out, the brilliance in He Tao's eyes behind him gradually disappeared and became dim, but Li Chongwen was very happy and said with a smile: "Qin Cha praised, please come inside." ”

In the hall, however, there was a different scene, the room was as cool as autumn, and the four walls were full of shaved ice hanging high.

On the main seat, according to the case, sat a heroic young man, with a good appearance, a ruddy face, and wearing a scarlet suit, it was Yang Lin.

The hall was full, most of them were dressed in brocade clothes, and at first glance they were rich and wealthy gentry. These were all invited by Li Chongwen to accompany the guests.

Next to everyone sat a beautiful woman with makeup, with narrow sleeves and a colorful spring shirt, exposing the wonderful curves of the breast augmentation and thin waist.

Yang Lin has already concluded in his heart that this is a nest of corrupt officials, and it seems that Jeju Mansion is rotten.

Originally, he just wanted to wait for Song Jiang to recruit some people, and he would take them to Mizhou to reopen the city.

But this fucking bastard, extremely poor and extravagant, remembering that he still has to run around, but this group of rotten people is comfortably hollowing out the country's people's fat and people's ointment behind his back, Yang Lin is angry.

In this way, the so-called people on the streets are also the masterpieces of these people.

For a moment, Yang Lin really wanted to order all of them to be cut down, and then check them one by one, he could guarantee that there were not a few unjust, false and wrongful cases.

The beauty served the wine, the elixir and jade liquid entered the throat, and Yang Lin dried it up in one gulp, only feeling that the wine was bitter and astringent, and he couldn't taste anything else.

The seats were full of cups and cups, Yang Lin and them were vain and wronged, and everyone couldn't see anything unusual.

Only the people around Yang Lin could see that his gaze was a little different, and it seemed to be more than usual... It's a little colder.

When Li Chongwen saw him like this, he only guessed by himself, and this Qincha's previous strange behavior was because he disliked himself for not giving gifts.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the beautiful maids who served got up and left their seats.

A few subordinates moved in a wooden box, and after opening it was a clay sculpture covered with red silk, Li Chongwen said: "Su Wen Zhuangyuanlang is well versed in Taoism, and won the first place in the palace examination. ”

Yang Lin smiled and said, "In this way, Yang is disrespectful." ”

A group of people sent Yang Lin out of the Li Mansion, waved goodbye, and Yang Lin led people back to the restaurant.

In the bedroom of the restaurant, Yang Lin ordered someone to open the newly obtained golden silk nanmu treasure inlaid official suitcase, and there was a clay sculpture in the box, which was strangely not a statue of Daojun.

"Nerio is endless?" Yang Lin sneered, took out the Pu knife from Lu Wang's arms, and slashed it with the back of the knife.

With a bang, the clay sculpture broke, and the clay sculpture was scattered with gold and jewels, jewels, dazzling.

Yang Lin said in a deep voice: "Lu Wang, go and bring me that little official named He Tao." ”
