Yang He saw that the boat was getting closer and closer, but it was a common shallow boat on the Yellow River and canals, and the load did not exceed 400 materials. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at the draft of the boat, the Yang River is estimated to be only about 300 materials, but it is very suitable for passage on the Yellow River, after all, there is a lot of shallow water and sand here.

Looking at some people standing on the ship, the leader seemed to be a man wearing a black veil and wearing an official uniform, and there were some people gathered around him, looking at their appearance, they might be archers.

"Could it be someone from the Patrol Division on the other side?"

Yang He pondered in his heart, looking at the boat decorated with red oil, and there was a wooden sign on the boat, it should be the person from the inspection department opposite, after all, there is no doubt that there is an official ship in this area, and this department is the only one.

"Xianggong ......"

Han Daxia looked at Yang He, and Zhang Zhugong, Hu Employment and others all showed hesitant looks on their faces.

Suddenly, there were official people, who didn't know friend or foe, good and evil, and everyone was a little worried in their hearts, and they subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

Afraid of officials, ancient and modern, even their former defeated soldiers are no exception.

Yang Daodao: "Look at the form. ”

He didn't care, he was a student, there was no reason to be afraid of a mere inspection, and his team of hundreds of people also had enough force to protect himself.

If you want to cross the river, the only way to cross the river is to use the power of this division, and you can get a pillow when you happen to be sleepy.

But he dismounted, saw the ship getting closer and closer, and whispered, "When the ship docks, you all show your spirits." ”

Soon, the official ship was not far from the wooden trestle, and dropped its sails far away, and then the people on board shouted, and the big ship came up, threw down an iron anchor, and smashed into the water in a daze.

Several of the boatmen jumped up with agility, pulled the cable, and circled the bollard many times, pulling the boat closer and more slowly, and finally getting on the pedal.

Seeing their skillful movements, it only took a short time from the boat docking to the mooring rope to laying the pedals, and they are worthy of the guys who eat on the water all year round.

However, looking at many of them with blue hands and faces, shrinking their hands and stomping their feet, it is obvious that winter is not so easy to survive on the ship.

In the end, the official that Yang He noticed got off the boat slowly, surrounded by some people, and two people led a horse behind him.

Yang He thought to himself: "Sure enough, it's an inspection." ”

Yang He looked at the official dress, wearing a black gauze, wearing a green official robe of nine grades, a seahorse painted on the complement, and a waist card made of copper and wood hung around his waist, which was heavy.

Seeing that he is in his forties, he has a round face, chubby, and wears a delicate warm ear, not like a martial artist, but like a businessman.

At this time, the official robes of civil and military officials are almost the same, but the complements are different.

Seeing a middle-aged man behind him, dressed as a scribe, with a gentle appearance, he followed silently.

There were also two people dressed as soaps, leading their horses, and followed closely.

In addition to those who stayed behind, the last dozen archers followed, all folding scarves, wrapping shoulder scarves, wearing blue short clothes and armor, wrapped in red around their waists, hanging wooden waist cards, each holding iron rulers, ropes, bows and arrows, waist knives, spears, and bird guns.

The group was noisy and came to the stone steps.

Seeing these people's force, Yang He also relieved himself, and if they had malicious intentions, he would sink them all into the Yellow River.

Han Daxia, Zhang Zhugong and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, they remembered Yang He's instructions, and they all squinted at each other, just watching these people come over.

The official had long noticed the situation on the shore, and he kept looking at Yang He and the others all the way, his small eyes swept over, looking at Han Daxia, Zhang Chugong and others, not only was he not annoyed, but his eyes lit up.

Seeing Yang River even more, my eyes are even brighter.

He went up the steps and came to the embankment, so he came over with a smile and said, "Dare to ask this Yang He Xianggong, who defeated the thief and killed Zhang Fangyu's thief?" ”

Yang He saw that his face was full of amazement, a pair of small eyes were squeezed by the fat on his face and almost couldn't be seen, and his expression was very exaggerated.

He said: "Don't dare, it's just mere, dare to ask the adult?" ”

He gave up his hands, guessing in his heart the official's intentions, and thinking that the news would spread so quickly that even the people on the other side of the Yellow River knew about it.

The fat official smiled and arched his hand: "Xiaguan Deng Sheng, Xi is the inspector of the Xin'an Inspection Division." The lower officials are ashamed, as an inspector, but they can't protect one party, but fortunately, with Yang Xianggong, the thieves were defeated, which is really a lot of ambition for our side. ”

Yang He said: "Deng's inspection is too famous, and students dare not take it. ”

The two exchanged a few words, and Inspector Deng seemed to have a lot on his mind, his eyes swept over the faces of Zhang Chugong, Han Daxia and others, and he couldn't help but say at this time: "I heard that Yang Xianggong has a large team, is it just these few people?" ”

Yang He smiled: "That's not it, hundreds of students are waiting on the official road, and then Yang comes over to see if there is a boat to cross the river." ”

Inspector Deng seemed to be relieved, and he smiled and said, "I see, it's easy to talk about crossing the river." Is the public team on the official road? Just go to see, Deng Mou, as an inspector, met a strong man who killed thieves, and deserved to be rewarded and condoled. ”

Yang He smiled and said, "It's hard to have Lao Deng inspect it." ”

They all mounted their horses, and then went down the embankment, and followed the path to the official road.

The two walked side by side, and then their respective men and horses followed, and soon arrived at the official road.

There was still a lot of noise here, the bonfire was blazing, and the soldiers were standing or squatting, all laughing around the fire.

Seeing Yang He come back, the Minister Yang who stayed behind, Qi Youxin was all happy, and then saw the fat official walking with him, and he was stunned again.

The people in the team also stood up, and suddenly saw that the officials made them a little nervous, but fortunately, it seemed that the fat officials and his party were friends rather than enemies, and they were also inferior in oppression.

That kind of spirit comparison, it is more correct to say that the people on this side of Yang He are archers and they are refugees.

And there is Yang Xianggong on top, so after everyone was stunned for a while, they were not very nervous, but they whispered.

Minister Yang came over, he served Yang He to dismount, and said in a low voice: "Young Master......"

Yang He gave him a look: "It's okay." ”

Inspector Deng dismounted in the two soap subordinates, he looked at the team in front of him, his eyes were also bright, sure enough, there were hundreds of people, although most of them were women and children, but it is estimated that there were more than 100 elites.

And they fought all the way, and the murderous aura revealed was more powerful than the archers under his command.

Although these people are refugees, their spirit is very good, and their words and deeds are not at all like a team of refugees.

Most of them, even women, carried shields and clubs, much to the astonishment of Inspector Deng.

Looking at the situation of the team, the two soaps behind him were whispering and looking curiously, and the archers who followed showed even more surprise.

and the middle-aged man who had been standing silently also glanced at Yang He in surprise, and then still had a faint smile on his face.

Inspector Deng looked around, and he also saw a few fed horses, apparently seized from horse thieves.

Analysis of various situations, this Yang Xianggong's defeat of the thief is true.

Inspector Deng touched his two shiny mustaches and laughed.

……

Yang He and Inspector Deng sat opposite each other on the rosewood official hat chair, and a pot of hot tea was placed on the table, and then Zhao Zhong raised it and added some firewood to the fire pond in front of him.

Yang He persuaded a burst of tea, and Deng Inspector drank it, he seemed to be very curious about the origin of Yang He and why he went to the north bank of the Yellow River.

Yang He sighed: "The student was originally a student of Luyi, how could he be rampant, and he had no choice but to leave his hometown, and he led this team by chance, just looking for a place to live." I only sighed that the bandits on the south bank of the river were like hair, and they were also worried about the embankment bursting, so they thought of the north bank. ”

Inspector Deng said with a smile: "This is also a coincidence, there is a big Zhuangzi just a few miles north of the Inspection Division, which happened to be abolished not long ago, and Xianggong and his party happened to live." ”

Minister Yang behind Yang He, Qi Youxin, Yan Dezheng and others were all happy, there happened to be a Zhuangzi, and hundreds of people in his line could live?

Yang He also smiled: "That's the best." ”

He chatted with Inspector Deng, and also knew a lot about this person, and heard that his family had been patrolling the Xin'an Inspection Department for generations, and then he had a younger brother Deng Guan, but he served as the ambassador of the Xin'an Delivery Station in the east of Pizhou, not far away.

Then there were two younger brothers, Deng Fa and Deng Cai, both of whom served as officials in the Pizhou Ya.

The four brothers, who were promoted and made a fortune, all belong to the civil service system.

So he patted his chest and assured that Yang Xianggong and his entourage only had to wrap themselves on him when they crossed the river, and his Xin'an Inspection Division had three large and small boats, and his younger brother Deng Guan's delivery station also had more than a dozen boats, enough to transport hundreds of people across the river.

Yang He smiled and thanked him, and kept persuading tea, but he was groaning in his heart.

There is no friendliness in the world for no reason, the ancients said well, nothing to be courteous, either treacherous or thief.

This Deng patrol rushed to set up friendship and make a good fate, what is the intention?

He pondered in his heart, guessing the intention of Inspector Deng, and thinking of his position.

Ming Taizu set up a patrol inspection department to inspect pedestrians, crack down on smuggling, arrest thieves, intercept escaped soldiers and prisoners, and for hundreds of years, play an important role in the arrest of local thieves, public security patrols, and deterrence and suppression of riots.

Although they belong to the military defense, they belong to the local government and county, and the ones they command are only the archers of the local points, and the combat effectiveness is not strong, and the inspection status is even lower, but it is also very difficult to be promoted from the Jiupin miscellaneous positions.

Moreover, now that the grassroots level of Lijia has collapsed, the displaced people and refugees are all over the land, and there are many bandits of all kinds, this inspection department system, which originally cooperated with the Lijia system and the Lijia old man system, has tended to collapse, and it is becoming more and more powerless in the pacification area.

Just like how can the police fight the regular rebels?

At most, the inspection department is equivalent to the role of the grassroots police station in later generations.

Yang He pondered, how could there be a big Zhuangzi just a few miles north of the Inspection Division, and it happened to be abandoned, so he could let a team of hundreds of people live? A big Zhuangzi, with a population of at least 1,000 people, will be scrapped, is there any big group of bandits nearby?

This Deng patrol is so diligent, is there some kind of pressure, wanting to borrow a knife to kill people?

But for now, it's ideal to be able to cross the river and have a place to live right away.

Cross the river and say, if there is a Zhuangzi, stay there.

After all, there aren't many options left for him at the moment. (To be continued.) )
