Just when Zhang Pu absconded out of the city, Yang Dudu was sitting upright on the Guide Gate Bridge.

"Change the song, change the cinnamon stick of Wang Jinggong."

Yang Dudu said.

At this moment, he sat in the middle of this stone bridge with Erlang's legs crossed, just blocking the road, with tea sets, pastries and fruits on the table next to him, a gentle little beauty performing tea art for him, and a few musicians playing, and a little beauty holding a pipa in her arms singing softly.

The atmosphere was rather eerie.

To the south of him, a narrow street runs along the river, lined with shops that stretch to the sides with their backs to the river, and behind some of them there are wooden arched bridges that span the not too wide moat, and then lead to the north bank, between the walls and the moat. On this piece of land dozens of meters wide, there are countless small and elegant gardens, pavilions and pavilions that also stretch endlessly on both sides, and on the river between the shops and gardens, painting boats are quietly moored......

This is Ho Pan Street.

The shops in front belong to merchants from all over the world.

The garden at the back is also theirs.

These merchants, who came from countless cities throughout the Ming Dynasty, established their own businesses on this most important commercial street in the largest foreign trade city, and then built a wooden bridge across the old moat that led directly to the garden where they lived.

As for the boats......

For them, of course!

"Thinking of the past, prosperous competition, sighing outside the building, grief and hatred continue!"

Yang Dudu shouted like a convulsion.

The little beauty singing next to him hurriedly replaced him with this one.

In the midst of the bamboo and the song, a group of wolf-like soldiers are smashing open the doors of shops and rushing in to search in horror, and the painting boats on the river are also called over, boarding the boat to search in the protests of those guests and the screams of the little beauties.

The whole Haopan Street is full of chickens and dogs.

"Governor, this Lehu said that there was indeed a son with a Matsue accent the day before yesterday, and he spent the night on their boat, but he didn't see him again tonight."

Cai Yizhong walked over and said.

Behind him was an old bustard with a smile on his face.

Yang Xin looked at Liu Shidou.

"Dudu, the students really don't know where else he can go, the only ones who know them here are the students, Zhang Pu has no other friends in Guangzhou, but Zheng Zheng has a lot of acquaintances, but Zhang Pu is young, he was just studying at home before, if it weren't for Zheng Zheng, he wouldn't even know the students."

Liu Shidou lay on the ground and said tremblingly.

"What a disappointment!"

Yang Xin said very dissatisfied.

"Governor, Governor spare!"

Liu Shidou cried and shouted.

"Go back and explain clearly to those guys who instigated the people to make trouble and manipulated the price of rice, maybe the governor of Pontus can spare your life if he is in a good mood, otherwise you will wait for Ling Chi, and let your Liu family prepare 50,000 taels, otherwise I will serve your Liu family in the South China Sea tomorrow." Tomorrow, the city gate will not be opened, and it will be said that the suspect will be searched and arrested, and no one will be allowed to leave the city without my order. ”

Yang Xin said.

It was not that Guangzhou did not have enough troops.

In fact, there is a commander here and the front and back left and right four guards, more than 20,000 regular troops, although these military households have long been abolished, but after all, the shelf is still there, what is needed is just to reorganize, what he can use at present is to bring those, in addition to Cai Yizhong's camp division, this point of strength is obviously insufficient, just to make use of the military households of the four guards in Guangzhou.

After speaking, Yang Dudu stood up.

Liu Shidou next to him was still crying, estimated to be crying for 50,000 taels.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.

"What's going on?"

Yang Dudu's gaze immediately turned to the right.

On the bank of the river opposite the mouth of an alley, a soldier pointed a musket at the sky, and the muzzle of the gun was filled with smoke, and a young man with a sword stood angrily in front of a disheveled little beauty, while he was facing several soldiers who were boarding the boat.

"There is also a drama of heroes saving beauty!"

Yang Dudu immediately came to the spirit.

But the hero saves the beauty after all, after all, it depends on the strength, just after the gunshot, the young soldier was honest in a bunch of muzzle aims on the shore, and then watched those soldiers board the ship and take him down directly, and the little beauty behind him pulled his clothes and cried reluctantly, and it could be seen that there was still some emotion. The young man was tied up with five flowers, and walked off the boat with the soldiers proudly, the little beauty still pulled him, the soldiers pushed away very rudely, and then the little beauty continued to follow, and the little beauty who sang to Yang Xin also stared at him, with a very frightened expression on her face.

"You know?"

Yang Dudu said with a smile.

Obviously, this guy is very popular among the little beauties.

"No, I don't know!"

The little beauty said tremblingly.

"Bring this guy who dares to rebel to justice on the spot!"

Yang Dudu said.

"Oh, don't!"

The little beauty exclaimed.

"Ah, it seems that you still know each other, bring him here."

Yang Dudu said with a smile.

Then the soldier escorted the gentleman over, and the latter watched him stand there proudly, and the little beauty behind him was still like a fart.

"What's your name?"

Yang Dudu said.

"Kuang Lu."

The latter replied very dryly.

"I once whipped a famous horse because of drunkenness, for fear that I would be tired of beauties.

You have a lot of affection.

It is said that this kind of thing is originally a matter of money, but it is rare to see it like Your Excellency, and you are not afraid of being a prostitute for life? Seeing that you are also famous, this sleeping flower and willow are arrested, and the governor of Pontus will be able to let Tixue reform your fame tomorrow, not to mention that you are still armed to resist the Jinyi Guard by force, just by virtue of this article, it is okay for the governor of Pontus to correct the law on the spot.

How's it going, do you regret it now? ”

Yang Xin said.

"If you have done it, why regret it? What's more, for the one you love, what do you regret? ”

Kuang Lu said.

"If you like her, take it home!"

Yang Xin said.

"There is no money, although Kuang is a son of a family, he lost his father at a young age, and his family is in the middle of the road, and thousands of dollars are not easy to do!"

Kuang Lu wilted instantly.

"Haha, it turned out to be a poor talent, the governor of Pontus fulfilled you, the woman belongs to you, let the old bustard go to the general soldier's mansion tomorrow to get the silver, but I can give you the woman, you are armed to resist the Jinyi guard, this should still be punished. The fame is removed, and you still have two choices, first, I will sentence you and confiscate the army in Liaodong, and second, if you invite yourself to serve in Liaodong, you will go to Kaiyuan, you must choose one of the two, but both of them can take this little beauty with you. ”

Yang Xin said.

"Governor ......"

Kuang Lu was instantly dumbfounded.

"Don't bargain with me, you are armed to resist arrest, it was originally a capital crime."

Yang Xin said.

"I'll pick the second one!"

Kuang Lu said hatefully.

"Then you can write a petition, saying that you are willing to go to the front line of Kaiyuan to atone for your sins, and then I can give you permission, since you are a son of a family, then you should be treated preferentially, but before the end of the year, you must go to Kaiyuan to report to Kaiyuan soldiers, if you do not arrive in Kaiyuan before the end of the year, then you will be treated as a fugitive. Since you are invited to serve, if you make meritorious service in the future, you can also be promoted as an official, and you can even come back with permission, in short, those have nothing to do with me.

Okay, it's okay to take your woman with you. ”

Yang Xin said.

With an expression that was hard to say, Kuang Lu turned around and pulled the little beauty away.

Yang Dudu was very satisfied with his prank, anyway, in history, this guy was also forced to go away to Guangxi by the county because of laughing at Zhixian on the street, and it is even said that he went to which Tusi's house to attract bees and butterflies, since this is the case, then simply let him go to Liaodong. This guy is said to be an all-rounder, similar to Tang Bohu in folklore, the only problem is that he is more maverick and arrogant, originally participated in the resistance against the Qing Dynasty with Chen Bangyan and others, and after the defeat, he went home and hugged his piano and died of hunger strike.

This is at the Baume & Mercier level.

Of course, Yang Dudu had little interest in celebrities.

Generally speaking, celebrities and scholars are like that, since he knew that Tang Bohu was actually imprisoned because of the imperial examination fraud case, Yang Dudu has no interest in celebrities.

"Governor!"

An officer arrived in a hurry.

"What?"

Yang Xin looked at him suspiciously.

This is an officer of the Naval Division, he came with six warships, two escorted Yang Huan to Dongguan, and four are still in Guangzhou, this is the officer of the original Dongjiang Naval Division, a relative of Mao Wenlong.

"Governor, a ship suddenly dropped anchor and left."

The latter said.

"Idiot, you don't intercept this kind of person who leaves in the middle of the night?"

Yang Xin said speechlessly.

"The last general is confused, please give the governor for sin."

The latter was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said.

"Get up, immediately anchor and pursue!"

Yang Xin said.

However, it is not to blame this officer for his slow reaction; in fact, there are now hundreds of large and small merchant ships on the wharves along the Pearl River, and there are dozens of large sea ships alone, and there is no inspection in the port of Guangzhou, and according to his new tax law, all ships going to sea go to Macao to pay taxes, no matter where they go. Even the merchant ships going to Jiangsu and Zhejiang have to pay taxes, but the tax rates are different, but the ships going to Jiangsu and Zhejiang have his escorts, who are responsible for preventing halfway turns, and they also have to carry the official seals of all the guards who call at the ports along the way, but they are not the owners of the ships to cover.

The latter will definitely cost money to cover it.

But Yang Dudu's men went to cover it, so there was no need to worry about this.

But before leaving the mouth of the Pearl River, there was no restriction on this sea area, and in this case, it was difficult for the commander of his warship to be sufficiently alert to the departure of a sea ship in Guangzhou.

That is, it was reported that there was something abnormal in setting sail at night.

However, Yang Xin could almost conclude that Zhang Pu was on this ship.

Even if Zhang Pu is not there, this ship is also very ghostly, unless there are special circumstances in these years, no sea ship dares to leave the port at such a night, although the Pearl River channel is open, but after Guangzhou is full of sediment sediment sandbar area, the sea ships that have just arrived during the day have to find someone to pilot, the draft increases after carrying cargo, and the possibility of running aground at night is very great.

Set sail in a hurry on such a night, and it's strange to say that there are no ghosts, but now it's up to us to see if we can catch up.
