The atmosphere in Yangzhou City is very strange, which anyone who has a little status in Yangzhou City can feel. In this group of people, there is a person who is very special and very anxious, he is Yang Huaide, the eunuch of Yangzhou Town.

As a eunuch who came out of the palace, Yang Huaide is different from the local gentry officials, his roots are in the palace.

Although he is very powerful in the local area, it is a time when there is no good, and once something happens, the town guard is the most insecure. Eunuchs are different from officials, eunuchs are the emperor's domestic slaves, and wanting to dispose of a eunuch is just a matter of the emperor's words.

Now that the imperial court is so concerned about the affairs of Yangzhou, Yang Huaide is afraid.

If you don't get it right, you'll lose your head, and cut off his head, which is no trouble at all. In Yangzhou City, Yang Huaide is the most panicked person. After figuring out his situation, Yang Huaide set his goal on Zhang Whale.

First, everyone is a eunuch, and secondly, there is nothing they can't do, and there is nothing to say about betrayal or anything to help Zhang Whale.

"Grandpa Yang, come in with me!"

A little eunuch came to the side of Yang Huaide, who was waiting, and spoke.

Since Qin Cha moved into Qin Cha Xingyuan, Yang Huaide basically came over every day and asked to see Zhang Whale every day. It's just that Zhang Whale hasn't seen him all the time, which makes Yang Huaide even more scared. Now that he heard that Zhang Whale was willing to see him, Yang Huaide was immediately excited.

Follow the little eunuch through the cloister, through an archway, to the garden behind.

Zhang Whale was dressed in a big red python robe, standing in the pavilion to feed the fish, not to mention anything else, there is water and rockery in the Jiangnan courtyard, which makes Zhang Whale like it very much. For Yang Huaide, Zhang Whale also wanted to dry him, let him be scared, and be more in awe.

"Godfather, Grandpa Yang is here!" The little eunuch came behind Zhang Whale and said respectfully.

"Let him come!" Zhang Whale didn't look back, threw a little of the fish food in his hand into the water, and then glanced back at Yang Huaide.

Yang Huaide is a middle-aged man in his forties, and he looks quite young because he lives well in Yangzhou. He also looks very good, but because of the pressure these days and the lack of sleep, he looks a little haggard.

"The slave has seen Grandpa Zhang!" After Yang Huaide saw Zhang Whale, he hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Come here!" Zhang Whale didn't look back and continued to look at the fish.

Yang Huaide stood up, came to Zhang Whale's side, bowed down, and his attitude was very respectful.

"Look at these fish, they are scrambling for a bite to eat." Zhang Whale threw a little fish food, and then said: "But this fish food is in our hands, if our family doesn't throw it, what can they grab if they fight for it?" ”

Throwing down all the fish food in his hand, Zhang Whale glanced back at Yang Huaide, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Yang, do you say what our family said is right?" ”

"The father-in-law is righteous, and the slave and maid admire!" Yang Huaide hurriedly said.

Zhang Jing nodded, walked to the table in the pavilion and sat down, and said to Yang Huaide with a smile: "Come and sit!" Saying that, he picked up the teapot and wanted to pour the tea, but before he could do it, Yang Huaide had already reached out and picked up the teapot.

"Slave come on!" Saying that, he brought Zhang Whale a pot of tea, and then sat down.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Zhang Whale looked at Yang Huaide and asked, "In Yangzhou all these years, there has been no shortage of cashiers, right?" ”

What is Yangzhou place, for the officials of the Ming Dynasty, it is like an oil depot, and any touch is a hand of oil. As the eunuch of Yangzhou, it would be strange if Yang Huaide confiscated the silver.

"Back to my father-in-law, I received a little!" Yang Huaide hurriedly spoke: "The slave maid has a copy here to honor his father-in-law. ”

While speaking, Yang Huaide took out a stack of silver tickets from his hand and put them on the table, looking at the thickness, it was not a small amount of money.

However, Zhang Whale just glanced at it, and then said with a light smile: "It seems that you have indeed taken a lot of money in Yangzhou over the years, but this is nothing, we eunuchs, this is the only preference in this life." ”

"Besides, we have no children and no daughters, so we must always think about the future."

"Some savings, when you are old and can't do it, you can take care of your life well, instead of ending up with a sad end."

Yang Huaide listened to Zhang Whale's words, and suddenly made up his mind: "Thank you for your father-in-law's compassion!" ”

"It's not that our family sympathizes with you, it's the emperor who sympathizes with you!" Zhang Whale said with a smile: "Those of us who are slaves and maids, we are all doing errands for the emperor, and the errand is done, a little silver tael, and the emperor should reward you." ”

"But if the errand is not done well, this silver will be the money to buy a road to the underworld."

Yang Huaide hurriedly said: "The slave maid is loyal to the emperor, and I also ask Father-in-law Zhang to say a lot of good words, no matter what errand the emperor asks the father-in-law to go to Yangzhou to do, the slave and maid must be the first to look forward to the father-in-law, and there is absolutely no second word." ”

Glancing up at Yang Huaide, Zhang Whale said with a smile: "Then who do you think our family should attack first?" ”

"Since the father-in-law is investigating the salt administration, it is best to start from the transfer envoy yamen, and the slave has evidence of Yan Huaiyuan's corruption and bribery, and the father-in-law can arrest Yan Huaiyuan first." Yang Huaide said and took out a notebook.

Zhang Whale was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Yang Huaide, it seemed that he was not stupid.

Stretching out his hand and flipping through the booklet, Zhang Jing nodded and said, "Very good, we have accepted this booklet, you can follow our family on an errand these days!" If this errand is done well, our family will report back to the emperor and see if we can transfer you back to the capital. ”

"Slave and maid Xie Gonggong cultivates!" Yang Huaide hurriedly stood up and kowtowed to the ground.

Zhang Whale glanced at Yang Huaide and said with a smile: "Get up!" ”

Yangzhou is nervous, everyone is waiting for someone to light a fire, or wait to see what Qin Cha has done, but what people didn't expect is that Qin Cha Xingyuan really has a move, and the action is still so unprepared.

When they learned that Qin sent people and soldiers to surround and transfer the envoy to the Yamen, countless people in Yangzhou were shocked and speechless.

Looking at the transfer envoy yamen in front of him, Cao Yikui said expressionlessly: "Go in, seal the yamen, and arrest people!" ”

Cao Yikui gave an order, and the soldiers rushed directly into the yamen of the transfer envoy, and the fans of the East Factory also rushed in. quickly blocked the entire yamen, and many people began to rush to the backyard and arrest people.

Zhang Whale and Cao Yikui walked into the transfer envoy's yamen, and Xu Xiti hit a hache, a little tired and wanted to follow up.

"Little grandfather, yesterday the housekeeper of Qin Hewen, the prefect of Yangzhou, came to pass the word, saying that he wanted to see the little one." By Xu Xiti's side, the steward of Taihelou whispered: "What should I do, please show the little grandfather." ”

Glancing back at Xu Fu, Xu Xiti thought for a while and said, "Then let's meet, but it can't be you who go to see him, let him go to Taihe Tower to see you." The prefect doesn't want to eat, and it is just right to go to our Taihe Building. ”

"Look what he says, but don't promise him anything, you know?"

"Understood!" Xu Fu nodded repeatedly, then turned around and walked outside.

Xu Xiti didn't care much about this matter, a Yangzhou prefect, he hadn't seen it yet, especially at this time. Lifting his clothes and taking steps, Xu Xiti walked towards the inside of the transfer envoy's yamen.

Inside the yamen of the transfer envoy, Zhang Jing and Cao Yikui looked at Yan Huaiyuan in front of them, and said with a smile: "Lord Yan, our family is polite!" ”

Looking at Zhang Whale expressionlessly, Yan Huaiyuan opened his mouth and said, "I didn't expect Lord Qincha to make a move, I thought I would have to wait a few days." Yan Huaiyuan didn't talk nonsense, and followed the people from Dongchang back to Qinchaxingyuan.

Qi family.

"Master, master, no!"

Qi Cai, the housekeeper of the Qi family, ran in from outside, panting and said, "Just now, the transfer envoy Yamen was sealed, and Qin Cha directly arrested people." Yan Huaiyuan was caught and sent to Qincha Xingyuan! ”

Qi Heng was stunned for a moment, and stood up in disbelief: "Arrested? ”

"That Yan Huaiyuan is a Yangzhou transfer envoy, how could he arrest someone so easily?"

"Go, let someone go and find out what's going on." Qi Heng was panicked this time, why did he arrest people. Yan Huaiyuan entered the Qin Mission, and this matter was not easy to handle.

The butler agreed, turned around and ran outside.

"Master, master!" When Qi Heng was pondering, the housekeeper ran back again, holding a letter in his hand: "Master, this is sent by our people in the prefect's yamen, please take a look." ”

Qi Heng was stunned for a moment, reached out and took the letter, opened it and took a look, Qi Heng's face changed.

This letter was written very simply, Qi Heng knew what was going on at a glance, looking at what Qin Hewen said, Qi Heng slapped the table, stretched out his hand and threw out the tea bowl in his hand: "When I took the money, I stretched out my hand happily, but I didn't expect it to be so happy when I withdrew my hand." ”

Qi Heng didn't expect things to take a turn for the worse so quickly, and the expression on his face suddenly became more ugly and ugly.

Lee Kee Pawnshop.

Listening to Qi Ying's words, Hei Ge shook his head with a wry smile: "Our father-in-law Zhang is really it!" "Speaking of this, the black pigeon didn't know what to say. Glancing up at his own commander, Hei Ge asked hesitantly, "Commander, what do our father-in-law Zhang think?" ”

"Why, why do you want to think?" Qi Ying said with a calm face: "It's just a quick knife to cut through the mess." ”

"There are a lot of things in Yangzhou City, if you really pick it up, it will be troublesome. It seems that our father-in-law Zhang doesn't want to make a thread, but is ready to cut it down with a knife. However, this knife must be sharp enough, otherwise it will not only cut the thread, but also be entangled in the knife! ”

The black pigeon was stunned for a moment, and said with a sigh: "This is really domineering!" ”

"Overbearing?" Qi Ying smiled: "Who is our father-in-law Zhang, Dongchang Gonggong, how can he not act overbearing." ”

The two people were talking, and the voice of the guy outside rang out: "Shopkeeper, there is business." ”

Qi Ying and Hei Ge were both stunned, have a business? Glancing at each other, both of them were a little confused.
