Chapter 772: The Righteous Army Expands North

The secret guard set up three governors, with the five plains as the boundary, from west to east, divided into three districts, under the control of the three governors. In order to guard against private corruption, there are also some cross-controls, needless to say.

Dingxiang Wei also made changes, the majority of the governors were vacant, the original governors were leveled and unified in the middle guard, the governors of the state capitals including the thirteen states of the original Han State, west of the five plains, and north of Hanshui City, respectively, set up the west guard and the north guard.

The rebels also made adjustments, with Su Yun as the governor, and the Jianghu men all over the southern border began to move to the four realms to monitor the rivers and lakes in various places.

Just like Su Yi's training of Dingxiangwei, Su Yun is also inspecting all parts of Dingxiangwei, inspecting everywhere according to the division method given by Su Lu, and making adjustments at the same time.

On this day, Su Yuntong led a group of Jianghu men to inspect Hanshui City.

Hanshui City connects the north and south, and is the gateway of the grassland to the hinterland of the Han Kingdom, where the merchants and military brigades must go.

There is a stone track line running through the north and south, and Hanshui City has gradually become the center of cargo distribution and transit, and since the official road has been built, there are more and more pack horses and merchants in Hanshui City.

Walking on the streets, there are horses and camels carrying goods, crowded wagons, and dialects spoken from the south to the north.

Su Yun arrived at Hanshui City, and with the help of Dingxiangwei, after settling down, he thought about taking a walk in the south and north of the city to see the famous Hanshui City in the north and south.

Yang Yi, the governor of Dingxiang Weibei, accompanied them, walked through the wide but crowded avenue, smelling the stench of mules and horses, and walked to the opposite side of the Hanshui Governor's Mansion.

"This is the most famous restaurant in Hanshui City, with eight big bowls, and the chef is good at various dishes in the Northland, and he is a well-known chef in the Northland. Every time General Zhang Lu, the governor of the northern capital, enters Beijing, he will inevitably have a meal here. ”

Yang Yi introduced to Su Yun with a smile.

Su Yun smelled enough of the smell on the official road, and was disgusted by all kinds of pickled feces and garbage, so he simply followed Yang Yi into the restaurant.

The door of the Eight Great Bowls is quite high, and when he stepped over the tall wooden threshold, Su Yun deliberately noticed that there were three Su Yun high.

Entering the gatehouse, there is a hall full of greenery, the hall is full of tables, and on the railing on the second floor, there are a few drinkers lying on their stomachs.

The noisy and noisy mixed with the aroma of mutton came to the face, and the shouts of the little two in the hall came one after another, and the hall was full of heroic diners who drank wine and ate meat in large bowls.

"Roast a sheep's tail"

"One serving of kebabs"

"Braised Lamb Scorpion"

"A pot of bone"

Inside the hall, the smell of meat is everywhere.

Xiao Er greeted him:

"Two guest officers, please, our store has a good private room, the famous steamed lamb in the north is the famous dish of our store, and the two guest officers can just come for a small portion."

Yang Yi opened his mouth and asked:

"Is the second floor Juxian Residence still empty?"

Xiao Er's face turned sad when he heard this:

"We also have a gathering of gods, a gathering of heroes, and a gathering of friends, all of which can have a glimpse of the long street."

Su Yun waved his hand:

"It's in this hall, it's just happening to be lively."

Yang Yi glanced left and right, and the high-rollers of the Righteous Army and the guards under his command had already begun to take their seats, and nodded:

"Well, listen to your lordship."

When Xiao Er heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said with his eyebrows fluttering:

"Two guest officers, please, there is a private seat by the window here, two of you, please."

Xiao Er led the two to the window seat, quickly wiped the bench and table again, took out the tea cup, poured water for the two, and asked politely:

"What are you two going to eat?"

Yang Yi waved his hand:

"Serve all the eight bowls in your store, my family has come from afar, and I can't disappoint."

"Hello, guest officer."

Xiao Er agreed, turned around and went to the kitchen counter, and went to the shopkeeper's report.

Su Yi asked Yang Yi with a smile:

"Lord Yang is a regular visitor?"

Yang Yi laughed:

"So that my lord may know that although I have the ministry of the governor of Dingxiang Wei Beidi on my body, it is in the dark, and on the surface, I have also hung up an errand in the governor's mansion, and one person gets two ministerial salaries, and then has the title of silver, and I have eaten eight large bowls four or five times a month, and it is also supported."

The rebels and the Dingxiang guards sat down next to them, faintly protecting the table where Su Yun was, Yang Yi's heart became calm, and his words became a little bolder.

The wine and food soon came up, and Yang Yi replaced the wine with tea, giving Su Yun the wind, talking about the customs and customs of this northern land, and the masters who could be absorbed by the righteous army.

"Hey, Yang Wenyuan is not a good person, who doesn't know the percentage of goods entering and leaving the city."

The guests at the table next to him were obviously drunk, and the red-faced big man's voice became rough, and the guests at the same table wanted to stop it, but they didn't think about it, but it aroused the big man's temper.

"Second Brother Hu, I call you Second Brother, you have a lot of goods in Fuxiang, and you are not taken by Yang Wenyuan, but what about filial piety, how much filial piety is every year, I don't need to say it."

"The guests who come and go from the south to the north are all drawn, and they are also drawn in the name of the Governor's Mansion, Lord Su doesn't know that he Yang Wenyuan is doing this, if he lets Lord Su know, he will definitely pick his skin."

Da Chinese's tone was full of depression.

The guests at the same table patted the big man on the shoulder:

"Okay, don't talk about it, brother, let's not get involved in the affairs of the official family."

"By the way, didn't you find a kind of gold in the mines of the Northland, it's worth it, talk to my brother."

On the table next to him, Su Yun frowned and asked:

"Lord Yang, who is Yang Wenyuan?"

Yang Yi was gnawing on a big bone, smiled bitterly when he heard the words, put down the bone, and wiped his mouth:

"Don't dare to hide it, this Yang Wenyuan is the minister's own family, and he is currently the governor of Hanshui City."

"The Governor of Hanshui City?"

Su Yun's brows furrowed, looking at Yang Yi, his expression was ugly, he was already the governor of Hanshui City, and he even wanted to blackmail merchants and take a cut of the goods that came and went, this official didn't want to be it.

Yang Yi explained:

"Hanshui City is going to take a cut of the goods from the south to the north, according to the different goods, charge different amounts of money, such as Laifuxiang, Yishengchang such a large number, may be taken once a year, how to collect, the minister does not know."

Su Yun put down his chopsticks:

"Where is all this money used?"

"Part of it is used for the expenses of Hanshui City, and the public government should pay for it."

"There is also a part of it that has fallen into the hands of officials at all levels in Hanshui City, and I don't know how to distribute it, and if the ministers don't mix with it."

Yang Yi sat up straight and said, looking respectful. Not long after the world was peaceful, Su Lu's notoriety of killing people was still spreading everywhere, especially Ding Xiangwei, who knew that Su Wang Ye was powerful, and Yang Yi did not dare to treat or hide anything about the prince's sister.

Su Yun's fingers tapped on the table:

"Let me ask you, does this matter count as corruption and dereliction of duty and trouble?"

The corner of Yang Yi's eyes swept to the left, although across the tables between Ding Xiangwei and the righteous army, there were still a few tables that seemed to hear Su Yun's words and began to gather their curious eyes.

After pondering for a while, Yang Yi reminded Su Yun:

"My lord, the dishes are going to be cold, so let's eat first."

Only then did Su Yun notice the gazes gathered around him, and nodded:

"Okay, eat first, the dishes of these eight bowls are good, and the master chef in the palace is nothing more than that."
