Yang Congyi stayed in the Yamen of the Divine Cavalry Army, and after receiving the wind and washing the dust banquet that night, he received a native product of Nanjianzhou, and the verification of the merits of the Si Bing case in front of the palace in the Divine Cavalry Army was over.

His destination was Quanzhou, and since there was nothing to do in Nanjianzhou, he rested for a little night, and prepared to leave Jianpu early the next morning.

After saying goodbye to the commander of the Divine Cavalry, Yang Congyi came to the south of the city with a package full of native products on three poles on the day, and was about to go out of the city, but saw many people surrounded by the city gate, noisy and shouting.

"Why don't you go out of the city? Delayed my big event, you look good! ”

"You can still enter the city in the morning, why is it suddenly closed? My father is sick, still waiting for me to buy medicine outside the city to go back, you have sealed the city, if my father dies, I will definitely go to Fuzhou to sue! ”

"That's it, it's fine for me to come in in the morning to sell vegetables, why can't I come out?"

"Give me an explanation, why can't you go out of the city?"

"Yes, I have to give an explanation, how can anyone close the city casually, either open the city gate quickly, or wait for me to go to Fuzhou to complain!"

One hundred and ten men were disturbing and shouting, while the gates were always closed, and the guards of the city ignored all the accusations.

"This big brother, when was the city gate sealed, why can't you get out?" Yang Congyi saw it in his eyes and felt a little strange, so he asked someone next to him.

The man replied, "I also want to know, most of the time ago, without saying a word, they directly closed the gates of the city that had just opened, not only the south gate, but all the gates were closed. No matter who asks, they only say that it is an order from above, and as for what the reason, no one knows at all. After speaking, he also looked anxious, and he should be waiting to get out of the city.

This is really strange, even if there are court officials passing through this city, at most the curfew and the street will be closed, that is, the door needs to be closed, and it is enough to seal one or two doors with four doors, how can there be a reason to close the city casually.

He refused to be retained by the Divine Cavalry, that is, he wanted to go back to Quanzhou as soon as possible to reunite with his wife, but now there is no reason, the city is suddenly closed, and he doesn't know when it will be opened, but it makes him feel a little unhappy. The south is mountainous, with many canyons and rivers, and if you don't cross the river for an hour, if you happen to have a heavy rain and the river swells, you may have to delay the trip for several days.

Yang Congyi separated the crowd of onlookers, crowded close to the front, and asked in a loud voice, "Why did you close the city gate for no reason?" I'll have to give an explanation. ”

The soldier was silent, as if he hadn't heard.

"What do you mean, don't you even have an explanation?" Yang Congyi was slightly annoyed.

"This is an order from above, to explain something to you! Stand back, don't get close to within a zhang, otherwise you will bear the consequences! Hearing Yang Congyi's unkind tone, the captain immediately replied, and raised his hand to point to the distance between them, reminding them not to approach.

Yang Congyi didn't want to talk nonsense with him, reached out and took out an object, moved forward, and replied: "No matter why you seal the city, whose order it is, I also have important things to do, and I must leave immediately!" ”

As soon as the captain saw the words and patterns of the thing in Yang Congyi's hand, he immediately turned around and bowed with his fists and said, "The last general, I've seen my lord!" ”

Yang Congyi put away the letter and said in a straight voice: "Since you know my origin, you won't let me go." ”

The detainee replied with some embarrassment: "My lord, it's not that the last general is deliberately embarrassed, the order from above is that no one is allowed to enter or leave, please forgive me!" ”

"I won't let you go, there must be a reason." Yang Congyi's expression froze.

"My lord, forgive me, the last general really doesn't know yet, he didn't say anything above, so he just let us close the city." Seeing that Yang Congyi's expression was not good, the officer was also very embarrassed.

"I have important business to do when I leave the city today, and I can't delay. I'm coming from other places, and I'm coming from other places, no matter why you lock down the city, it should have nothing to do with me, I will go to Fuzhou Shuaisi to pay a visit, if there is really something, go to me again. Let it go, if it spoils your business, I'll take it!" "Yang Congyi has to go out of the city today no matter what, he has been an official for so long, and his privileges should be used when they should be used, not to mention that he does have important matters to deal with in front of the palace.

After hesitating for a moment, the official turned his heart sideways, clenched his fists and said, "Your Excellency, please leave your name, and the last general will open the door to send your adult out of the city." ”

Yang Congyi didn't think about it, and replied directly: "The case of the soldiers in front of the palace, Yang Congyi." ”

"It turns out that Lord Yang is the former secretary of the palace, and the last general will have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, and please forgive me!" The officer clenched his fists again and bowed.

"Well, let's let it go." Yang Congyi now only cares about whether he can get out of the city.

The detainer nodded, "Of course." Then he ordered in a loud voice: "Open the door and send the adults out of the city!" ”

"Slow!"

Several soldiers were about to open the door, but a servant next to him flashed out to stop him, shouting loudly: "The order of the Zhizhou Yamen is very clear, no one is allowed to enter or leave!" Do you want to show favoritism? ”

"You are a little servant, and you can still take care of the affairs of the Divine Cavalry!" After the detainee reprimanded angrily, he waved his hand to let his subordinates open the door and let them go.

"Did the Zhizhou Yamen order the closure of the city?" Seeing this servant, Yang Congyi felt an inexplicable sense of closeness in his heart. Yes, a few years ago, he also worked as a yamen catcher for a year.

"Exactly. There were many murders in the city last night, and in order to prevent the murderer from escaping, Lord Zhizhou ordered the city to be closed down, and no one was allowed to leave. The official replied.

"I'm an official of the imperial court, can't I leave?" Yang Congyi looked at him and asked.

The official replied in a loud voice: "If you want to leave, you can leave forcibly, or you can go to the state government to explain to Lord Zhizhou before leaving." ”

If there is a life case in the city, if there is no need to close the city under normal circumstances, and if you can be a governor, you must have been a county magistrate for many years before, and you should know that any city must not be closed except for wars, plagues, floods, riots, rebellions, etc., otherwise it is very easy to cause chaos and uncontrollable things.

Last night's murder was so serious that it was necessary to suddenly order the closure of the city, it seems that the murder case is not simple, and the civilian and military officials do not like each other, so it is better not to force themselves out of the city and cause unnecessary trouble.

"Since there is a murder case in the city, in order to arrest the murderer and stabilize people's hearts, there is also a reason why the city gate is closed, and I should obey the instructions of the Zhizhou Yamen." Yang Congyi said this, and the official was slightly surprised.

"The city gate is still sealed, don't let the murderer go." Yang Congyi glanced at the guard, turned around and walked towards the city.

The onlookers saw that the soldiers were about to open the city gate and let the officials leave, and they were indignant in their hearts, and when they were about to lash out in anger, Yang Congyi turned around and went back to the city, leaving them in place.

"Listen, there is a murder case in the city, whoever wants to leave is a suspect, and if the suspect is a suspect, he will be arrested and sent to the yamen!" The detainees shouted.

Everyone just wants to get out of the city, who wants to be a suspect? After listening to this unreasonable remark, no one quibbled and retreated, after all, if you reason with them, they will use the knife with you, and it is you who suffers.

Every city gate is noisy, and the south city gate after Yang Congyi made a fuss, quickly returned to calm, not in a hurry to leave the city, leave directly, waiting to leave the city, can only wait four or five feet away from the city gate.

Yang Congyi really wanted to leave Nanjian Prefecture earlier, but the city gate was closed due to the murder, and it was not good for him to force out of the city and undermine the authority of the Zhizhou Yamen, not to mention that his official position was much lower than that of Lord Zhizhou, and he could not be easily offended.

I'm afraid that the murderer can't be caught in a while, and wandering on the street is not a way, but it is not easy to go back to the control yamen, and the inn has become the only place to go.

Yang Congyi immediately found an inn on the south street of the city to check in, and stayed for a day to see the situation.

It was very hot outside, and after the room was set, Yang Congyi stayed in the house, Nanjianzhou was unfamiliar with the place, and there was nowhere to go.

After sitting for a while, he suddenly remembered that Tang Xun's family lived in Nanjianzhou, and when he entered the martial arts school a few years ago, he heard her talk about specific states and counties when she introduced the martial arts hall, but several years had passed, and her memory was blurry, and he didn't know if her home was in Jianpu County.

Thinking of the past, I sighed in my heart, Tang Xun was originally one of his few friends, but fate made people.

Now that I have come to Nanjianzhou, I wanted to look for a visit, but I was worried that if I really saw it, it would be difficult to deal with myself at that time, and it would only increase my troubles.

After struggling and thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to forget it.

Gathering is the edge, leaving is the edge, the edge is shallow, and it is the end, it is better not to see.

After figuring it out, he simply opened the package and took out the souvenirs given to him by the Divine Cavalry Commander, and at that time he also specially explained that he would bring some back to Lord Zhang to taste.

After taking out the smooth and shiny wooden box and opening it, Yang Congyi was amused, how can there be any local products that are silver money.

But then I thought about it for a while, and felt that the term "lord of the system" was still a local specialty, because there were many silver mines being mined in Nanjian Prefecture, and the silver that could not be dug out of the ground was not a local specialty?

Anyway, there was nothing to do, he took out the silver money and counted it carefully, it was really a full 30,000 taels.

Yang Congyi sighed for a while, the difference between the dragoon army and the god cavalry army, how can the gap between the two armies be so big, the dragoon army relies on deducting military salaries and eating empty salaries to accumulate some money, a command can only take out two thousand taels of silver banknotes, and the god cavalry army is 30,000 taels of silver as soon as it is shot, and it is also a forbidden army system, the gap is so big, it is really unimaginable.

However, they are far away from Lin'an, stationed in the mountains thousands of miles away, and it is impossible to go further, so they can collect some money and pension for the elderly, which should be regarded as compensation for the exile of them by the imperial court.

Lord Zhang's choice to inspect these places should also be well thought-out, especially Nanjianzhou.

Yang Congyi put the silver money into the box, closed the lid, and put it back in the package.

I don't know when the city gate will be opened, and I have nothing to do, so I can only practice.

The last time I met bandits on the way, if they hadn't had some insight and knew what the front division of the palace was doing, they didn't dare to act rashly, otherwise he would be in danger. I have practiced a lot of spears, but my swordsmanship is not refined, and if I really start to do it, I can't get cheap with just one sword.

He knew very well that in ancient times, when he went out all the year round, he did not have martial arts, which was very dangerous.
