Chapter 191: Shall We Go Out to Watch the Fireworks?
"It's like eating all the birds and throwing them into the forest, and the land is so clean!"
In the cry that sounded behind him, Yang Xin sighed unkindly at the almost empty street in front of him.
Next to him, Li Chengzuo looked behind him awkwardly.
The children and grandchildren of the old squire were gathered around, crying and accusing the man of evil deeds in front of him.
"Yang Yanshi, I'm afraid this matter is a little troublesome!"
He said cautiously.
"I didn't touch a finger of him, he fell to his death and it was my, I didn't stay at home at the age of ninety-two, so you children and grandchildren have to bear a lot of responsibility."
Yang Xin said.
"You traitor, I'll fight with you!"
Then the same old man pounced on him with grief and indignation.
But then the two soldiers of the Bandit Army grabbed him, one by one and put one arm up, and the guy was still there struggling and crying, and the others were speechless and indignant, but they did not dare to come forward because the soldiers were staring at him. However, the officials of the Changzhou government have not shown up so far, and it is obvious that the prefect does not know how to deal with this incident, but fortunately, Yang Xin is not interested in causing trouble for him......
"Let's go, go to the garden and rest."
Yang Xin turned around and said.
"Well, the Wu family didn't invite us."
Li Chengzuo said.
"Then requisition!"
Yang Xin said very simply.
"Isn't that right?"
Li Chengzuo said in amazement.
"Go back and let He Jing say that Wu Liang is also Ye Maocai's fellow party!"
Yang Xin said to Yang Huan.
"Yang Yan, I'll go and say hello to the Wu family first, after all, there are still many young dependents in his garden, it's too rude for us to rush over, and the status of the Holy Duke of Yan is respected, and the Wu family can't be too rude, so we have to make some preparations."
Li Chengzuo hurriedly said.
Obviously, he has a bit of friendship with Wu Liang.
"In this way, there is some truth, and, tell Wu Liang, leave me two beautiful maids to serve, don't be under the age of eighteen, I like to be more mature, otherwise after I go back, I may let He Jing say something." In addition, these 1,000 soldiers are also stationed in the garden, and the brothers come all the way to stabilize the local security, and he, as a local eunuch, should still be entertained, otherwise the brothers are in a bad mood, and it will not be good to burn the garden to him in the middle of the night. ”
Yang Xin said.
Li Chengzuo hurriedly went out of the city to tell Wu Liang the bad news.
In this way, Yang Xin took his 1,000 rough soldiers, under the helpless welcome of the Wu family, and stayed in their elegant garden, and after making this garden a mess, he set off for Wuxi the next day, but before he left, the prefect hurriedly came to the door, and after quietly sending five thousand taels of tickets, the prefect, who obviously wanted to protect himself, told Yang Xin that the family of the old squire had gone to Nanjing to sue him.
Of course, this is not worth mentioning at all for Yang Xin.
"Sue me?"
Yang said disdainfully.
"It's bloody!"
He went on to say.
"Yes, don't worry, Yang Yanshi, we all saw that he fell to his death, but one of his grandsons and one grandson are both officials in the imperial court, and this matter is still a little troublesome."
Chen Chengzuo said.
"Why are there so many officials in this Changzhou Mansion?"
Yang Xin said suspiciously.
"One of the six Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty must be from Changzhou Mansion, why do you say there are so many officials here?"
Yan Shenggong said disdainfully.
"Well, no wonder the Donglin Party is so arrogant."
Yang Xin said.
"Uncle, there is a person surnamed Zheng in front of me who came to greet Yan Shenggong."
Yang Huan rode over from the front and shouted at them from the shore.
At this time, Yang Xin and his entourage had already changed to a canal boat, after all, this section of the canal was a straight line, and even if he could take the soldiers to Wuxi for a day, Yan Shenggong, who was still in a wheelchair, could not simply change to a canal boat in Changzhou like them. However, because the wind direction is unfavorable, the speed is very slow, it is estimated that it is difficult to Wuxi today, in fact, this is a two-day voyage, the canal is originally very slow, the normal is forty or fifty miles a day, the regulation of Cao Yun is to return to Huai'an from Tongzhou for 64 days, an average of forty-three miles a day.
This is still an empty ship.
After loading, the average is thirty or forty miles per day
The canal is actually about the same speed as walking.
That is, the volume is large, and the road is easy.
"Surname Zheng? In front is Henglin, Henglin Zheng's house. ”
Yan Shenggong said.
"Yes, Henglin Zheng family, Zheng Zhenxian Wanli was dismissed in the thirty-ninth year of Jingcha, and he is still at home, his younger brother died of illness in Xuzhou, but his son is a person in this department, with the Zheng family's knowledge, it is estimated that a Jinshi will not be able to run, and it is a little unexpected that they can come to meet them."
Li Chengzuo said with a smile.
"Their family is very good with the Donglin Party?"
Yang Xin asked curiously.
"Yang Yanshi, the family here is all from the Donglin Party, there is almost no exception, Zheng Taichu's son Zheng Zheng is said to be friends with Wen Zhenmeng, who was scolded by you, but Yang Yanshi rest assured, since he came to greet him, he will not be rude. Although it is said that it is Yan Shenggong who welcomes us, we are together, and it is impossible to leave us, otherwise they will really find their own death, and they will not be stupid enough to dare to be so ignorant. ”
Chen Chengzuo said.
"Ha, I wish they would!"
Yang Xin said disdainfully.
However, his hopes were ultimately disappointed.
"The younger generation Zheng Zheng, on the orders of his father, greets the Holy Duke of Yan, welcomes the Marquis of Fengcheng, and welcomes Yang Yanshi!"
A green insect about thirty years old on the shore saluted respectfully and said.
Yang Xin suddenly had a good impression.
"Zheng Gongzi is a general knowledge."
He said.
"Yang Yanshi is loyal to the country, and he is a model for the younger generation!"
Zheng said with a smile.
"Haha, I like you to be able to talk like this."
Yang Xin said.
In this way, they were invited to Henglin by Zheng Zheng.
It's just in the Zheng family's garden outside this town.
At this time, these official eunuch families in Jiangnan like to cultivate gardens, especially because of the wealth in Su Songchang's area, basically any squire with some strength does this, and it can be said that this area is full of gardens. This exquisite garden of different sizes adorned this piece of land that can be called the most prosperous land in the world at present, until it was trampled by Jiannu's iron cavalry more than 20 years later, and the entire area was completely turned into a sea of blood.
Zheng Zhen, the father of Zheng Zheng, was the head of the Ministry of Industry when Zhu Geng was the first assistant, but because of a direct haircut, the first power in ancient and modern times, he was demoted, and later became a victim of the vicious struggle of various parties, and was sold by his own group of Donglin Party, and has been at home since then. This time I guess I saw the opportunity and wanted to take the opportunity to change the court, after all, it was the Donglin Party that took him as a victim last time, his younger brother died of illness while serving in Xuzhou Zhizhou, the Zheng family can't be silent like this after all, Zheng Zheng is going to Beijing to catch the exam, if he can hug the eunuch party, then the Zheng family will turn over.
But his dad didn't show up.
said that he was seriously ill and could not see guests, so he handed it over to him to entertain Yan Shenggong and his party.
"So, you can't trust those people!"
Yang Xin said.
At this moment, he and Zheng Zheng were drinking alone, and there were two little beauties waiting next to him, and it was estimated that Zheng Zheng had heard that he needed a beautiful maid to serve him......
Wu Liang is actually Zheng Zheng's uncle.
"People are selfish, you can't expect everyone to shout about the same party, when they act, they will really work together, there are so many official positions in the imperial court, and there are only a few who really have real power, there must be competition, and while fighting with others, they are also fighting internally, and if there is a dispute, there will be betrayal.
Isn't it very common to sell teammates when it is profitable?
Do you really expect the folks in the village? Isn't the person who betrayed Ling Zun also from Changzhou? The villagers are unreliable, let alone just an ally?
But one thing remains constant.
After all, this official still has to be crowned by the emperor.
In the past, Emperor Shenzong was old and didn't like to take care of things, so he gave all his power to the subordinates, but our new monarch was when he was young and full of vigor, which emperor of this age would hand over power to the ministers below? The emperor must take power, and in the end, he wants to be dictatorial, if we want to be rich and noble, we have to listen to the emperor wholeheartedly, those of them are just ignorant, just listen to the emperor as a courtier, why do we have to do it against the emperor? ”
Yang Xin said.
"Yang Baishi is right, the juniors also followed them to mess around in the past, this time Wenwen Qi was taught a few lessons by Yang Yishi, and the juniors also began to wake up, not the word loyalty to be a courtier, loyal to the monarch naturally has to listen to His Majesty's words."
Zheng Zheng smiled and poured him a glass of wine and said.
The little beauty next to her hurriedly picked it up and sent it to Yang Xin's mouth.
"Yang Baishi, the younger generation is going to Beijing to take the exam this year, and I have to give Yang Baishi a lot of guidance when I get to the capital!"
Zheng Zheng raised his glass and said.
"Don't worry, if there is anything to report my name after arriving in the capital, I will cover you!"
Yang Xin said drunkenly.
"Then the junior will thank Yang Yan first!"
Zheng said.
"It's not early, Yang has important things to do tomorrow, so I'll go to rest first."
Yang Xin stood up and said staggeringly.
Zheng Zheng hurriedly got up, and at the same time gestured with his eyes, and the two little beauties hurriedly helped Yang Yanshi, who looked left and right at their pretty faces, and then smiled at Zheng Zheng knowingly, and then walked towards the accommodation arranged for him one by one. Later, Zheng Zheng watched them walk into the room with a smile, and then turned around and left quietly, he didn't know that in the back room, Yang Xin was looking at him through the window crack......
"Ma, if you hadn't thought of the stalk of German orthopedics, I would have almost been deceived by you, and an iron flute went down to Yunzhou, blowing through Jiangtian's eternal sorrow."
Yang Xin muttered to himself insidiously.
After saying that, his dog-like sensitive nose immediately sniffed around in this room, and the two little beauties looked at him blankly, but Yang Yanshi definitely didn't smell the aroma on their bodies, there was a special smell in this room that they couldn't distinguish at all.
"This kind of thing is exaggerated!"
Yang Xin said while sniffing.
Soon his nose rested under the bed, under the floor to be exact.
"Come, two beauties, let's go out and watch the fireworks together, shall we?"
He raised his head and looked at the two delicate faces and said.
