Chapter 604: Cool and Beautiful

In addition to the Gyeonggi City of Daqi, Gyeonggi Province also includes six states around Gangning. Including two states in the south of the Yangtze River: Taiping Prefecture (with jurisdiction over Wuhu, Dangtu, Lishui) and Danzhou (with jurisdiction over Danyang, Wujin and Jintan), and three prefectures in Jiangbei, namely Hezhou, Zhenzhou and Yangzhou.

After coming out of the Tingshan Courtyard, Song Zheng immediately returned to the Yamen of the Right Division, and sent Cai Yong to take two people to Yuan Rong to get relevant materials about Taiping Prefecture and Danzhou, under the pretext that Song Zheng wanted to understand the situation in Gyeonggi, starting with the two states in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, the addition of Danzhou is naturally in order to confuse the ears and eyes.

The right division, also known as the original Dark Eagle, naturally has a general database, but the collection is some more significant changes and information. This information was obtained after the following commanders were screened, and Song Zheng wanted to know the detailed materials, but he went to Yuan Rong to be more comprehensive.

After sending Cai Yong, Song Zheng began to look through the materials he had obtained from Duan Blade. Duan Jian had already handed over the materials related to the original Dark Eagle in the states north of the Yangtze River, which could be regarded as prepaid to Song Zheng. After Song Zheng investigated Meng Guan and Lian Yu clearly, Duan Jian would take out the materials from the states south of the Yangtze River.

Song Zheng selected one or two of the more serious evil deeds as the targets of the killing, and three to four as the targets for adjustment, and then transcribed his crimes and prepared to send them to Shui Ding, who had already rushed to Henan Road.

Shui Ding has been away from Jiangning for six or seven days, and is ready to quickly inspect all roads in Jiangbei in two months. He was accompanied by Mu Yu and eight sergeants selected from the forbidden army. These eight sergeants are all from the Zhenzi Battalion under the control of Han Kui, and in order to support Shui Ding, it is naturally impossible for the little emperor to let him only take office.

Song Zheng read quickly, while reading, he marked down the key points, and in less than an hour, he finished reading all the materials, and couldn't help sighing. Dark Eagle was better a few years ago, but since Huang Song took charge of Dark Eagle, the lawlessness of Dark Eagle in various states has increased significantly, and a large number of corrupt and forbidden people have appeared. Song Zheng can also guess the reason, that is, insufficient funds. After being in contact with Mu Yu for such a long time, Song Zheng also knew that the funds of the Dark Eagle were originally secretly donated by the Jiangnan family led by the Ji family, and this also became the bargaining capital between the Jiangnan family and Huang Yuandu.

Especially in recent years, Huang Yuandu has become more and more incompatible with everyone in Jiangnan, and the amount of related donations has also decreased. In order to maintain the establishment, Dark Eagle has to get involved in the industrial and commercial industry, engage in sales and extortion, and this is easy to breed.

The people below are doing three or four, and they must go through Huang Song's acquiescence. Bribery is inevitable. From this point of view, Jiang Huan's bribe of 40,000 taels to Huang Song is just the tip of the iceberg. Huang Song is in charge of the dark eagle of the entire Great Qi Kingdom, and the money collected is probably hundreds of thousands of taels.

Huang Song and Huang Yue are two brothers, one is low-key and the other is flamboyant. If it is about assets, Huang Yue may not be able to compare to his younger brother.

Putting away his thoughts, Song Zheng was about to transcribe the materials he had marked, when Cai Yong came back, his face extremely solemn.

"Yu Gongzi, Commander Yuan said that Danzhou and Taiping Prefecture have a lot of information, and it is inconvenient to carry them. Either ask me to hire two carriages, or ask Childe to go there himself. ”

"Oh?" Song Zheng chuckled lightly and thought slightly, "It's okay, I haven't been to the right division of Gyeonggi Province yet, so I'm just going to take a look." ”

"Childe? Are you really going to go? Cai Yong said in surprise. In his opinion, Song Zheng is the dignified right division supervisor and the actual leader of the entire right division. Yuan Rong said this, obviously deliberately making things difficult.

"Commander Yuan is a beauty." Song Zheng said with a smile, "To be able to meet a beautiful woman, you should run a leg." ”

"Yes! I'll arrange people. Cai Yong responded, turned around and went out.

When Song Zheng came to the courtyard, he found that Cai Yong had mobilized thirty soldiers. In addition to a few of their guards, there were also people selected from the three hundred.

"Why use so many people? It's not about going to fight. Song Zheng said with a smile.

Cai Yong hurriedly replied, "I'm afraid of that person......

Song Zheng waved his hand, "No, you can bring three more people to follow me." ”

"But ......" Cai Yong was still hesitating, and Song Zheng had already gone to the layman first.

Cai Yong couldn't, so he had to take three people to follow.

Yuan Rong's stronghold was in the southwest corner of Jiangning City, four or five miles away from the Yamen of Yousi. Song Zheng did not take the car, but walked along the street. Since the right division yamen can be made public, it naturally has a unified official uniform. However, the official uniform has just been reported to the Weaving Bureau and has not yet been issued. Song Zheng usually wears a white robe, like a scholar. Cai Yong and others are all wearing black house clothes. This journey is not eye-catching.

A quarter of an hour later, Song Zheng and others came to a compound, and Cai Yong took the initiative to step forward and knock on the door. Immediately, the door opened, and two big men in strong suits poured out, one of them saw Cai Yong and asked in a muffled voice, "Why are you again?" ”

"Bastard! Lord Song is here, don't hurry up and get out of the way! Cai Yong shouted unceremoniously. It seems that when Cai Yong came just now, he didn't get along well, and this time he came with Song Zheng, so he naturally had no scruples.

The two big men glanced behind Cai Yong, and saw a scholar with a folding fan, looking at them with a smile, and his appearance was still a little familiar. It turned out that these two had chased Song Zheng with Yuan Rong that day, but they were both knocked to the ground by Song Zheng. One of them was broken by Song Zheng and now looks a little collapsed. The other is a black-bearded man who was elbowed by Song Zheng and hit in the eye socket, with a faint scar on his eyebrow bone.

The two big men also saw Song Zheng clearly, and their faces couldn't help but change. When Song Zheng went south, Yuan Rong took six dark eagles to let Song Zheng escape. This is something that the two of them will never forget. Right now, although Song Zheng is a little more mature, the two of them still recognize his appearance. The "fugitive" turned into a top boss, and the two guys looked extremely ugly.

The two glanced at each other and bowed their hands in unison, "Brother to meet Lord Jianzheng." ”

Song Zheng couldn't help crying and laughing. These people are not accustomed to their official status, and they do not even say the word "lowly position".

"Two brothers, lead the way!" Song Zheng said with a smile.

There is such a word in both of their hearts: smiling tiger! On that day, Song Zhengshu was full of anger and deceived them into being proud and underestimated the enemy, and suffered a big loss. Now, it looks like a kind person, but it's a ruthless character who kills a Grand Commander while talking and laughing. The two of them also trembled in their hearts, did this Lord Supervisor come in person, did he come to take revenge for the events of the year?

Under the guidance of the two, Song Zheng entered the courtyard. Judging from the layout, this is a two-entry courtyard. The front yard is an empty field with a radius of two acres, except for a few mulberry trees on the edge of the field, there is no other vegetation, some are just some stone locks, weapon racks and the like, at first glance it is a place for practice.

Entering the main hall, Song Zheng was surprised. It turned out that the hall was empty except for a table and chairs on the left and right. On the surrounding walls, there is not even a single calligraphy or painting, only a portrait of Guan Gong hanging in the center. Clean and empty, this is Song Zheng's feeling.

Shaking his head slightly, Song Zheng sat down on a chair. A moment later, the black-bearded man brought in a pot of tea and two teacups, and respectfully poured them for Song Zheng.

Song Zheng smiled and nodded, did not move the tea, but turned around and looked at the statue of Guan Gong. This is a silk painting, on which Guan Gong is holding a green dragon glaive knife, standing with a long body, heroic and extraordinary. However, the style of his armor is depicted in accordance with the style of the generals of the Qi Dynasty, which looks quite funny from the eyes of Song Zheng.

A moment later, footsteps were heard at the door, and a beautiful woman appeared in front of me. It is obviously armed, but with a quiet atmosphere, but it is Yuan Rong who is a little cold. Behind him, followed by a pretty girl in a pale pink dress.

"I've seen Lord Song!" Yuan Rong arched her hand towards Song Zheng, and her posture was extremely standard.

Song Zheng returned the salute, "Commander Yuan, please take a seat." ”

Although Song Zheng wanted to say a few words to Yuan Rong, looking at her cold face, he suddenly lost interest and asked directly, "How much information about the five states of Gyeonggi Province is there under the command of Yuan Datong?" ”

"A lot!" Yuan Rong's voice was cold. The corners of Song Zheng's mouth twitched, and he secretly said in his heart, this Yuan Rong is beautiful, how can she look like an ice bump, does that old boy like this type of Mu Yu? Maybe it's cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and it has a different taste.

Since this Sister Yuan is unwilling to be polite, Song Zheng is not nonsense, "Can you take me to have a look?" ”

"Yes!"

"Let's go!"

"Good!" After that, Yuan Rong stood up and walked away.

Song Zheng smiled bitterly and followed up.

On the right side of the front yard, an arch leading to the back yard is left. When she arrived at the door, Yuan Rong stopped, turned around and glanced at Cai Yong and the others. Song Zheng understood, "You wait here first, and I'll come out in half an hour." ”

Cai Yong hesitated, but still gave it up.

Yuan Rong didn't say a word, turned around and walked forward, her walking posture was not swaying, but she looked a little heroic. On the contrary, it is the pretty girl ring, showing her hips and shaking gently, and she looks like a girl.

Song Zheng pursed the corners of his lips and looked at the wall in front of him. There are many morning glories that twist and coil on it.

Turning the wall, a burst of floral fragrance came to your face, and the backyard was in full view. Flower ponds, bamboo repairs, and small pavilions are very similar to the original wind bamboo garden, which is very elegant. Song Zheng said secretly, this is where a girl should live.

Song Zhengsao stopped and took a deep breath, "It's a wonderful place here. The wind adds rhyme to the bamboo, and the water shakes the flowers and fills the fragrance, which is good! Not bad! ”

"This way!" Yuan Rong turned around, said coldly, and walked forward again. The girl turned her head and glanced at Song Zheng. Seeing Song Zheng's helplessness, he couldn't help but cover the corners of his mouth lightly.

The three of them crossed the incense path and came to the west wing.

"Wen'er." Yuan Rong called and gestured to the door. The pretty maid named Wen'er took out the key from her sleeve and unlocked the door.

When I entered the door, I saw more than 20 bookshelves set up inside. On the bookshelf, there is a piece of white paper, which is marked with the words "Hezhou Liyang" and "Taiping Lishui". And on the inside, there is a door that leads to another room.

"These twelve rows of bookshelves are all arranged by state and county figures. There are four bookshelves inside, which are arranged by age. In the other room, the materials of Jiangning City are stored. If you want to find out what you want, let's see for yourself. Wen'er, let's go. After Yuan Rong finished speaking, she was about to step out of the door.

"Wait!"

"What else does Lord Song command?"

"Make a pot of tea."

"You can't drink tea here, you have to keep it dry."

Song Zheng rubbed his nose and said helplessly, "Okay." But it's too dark here, so there's always a candle flame, right? ”

Yuan Rong hesitated, "Wen'er, you go and get the candle." ”

Wen'er glanced at Song Zheng quickly, smiled and ran out. Yuan Rong stepped to the door and turned around, "Adults should be careful with the candle, don't burn things!" ”

Song Zheng looked at the cold beauty, his heart was a little angry, and he was about to say a sarcastic word to her, but he saw her cuffs move slightly, and a white thing shot towards Song Zheng.
