Chapter 12: The Flower Boat Poetry Club
Li Youming looked at Yang Xiuqing like a dead man, he couldn't wait to fight with Yang Xiuqing, but when he thought that his father had repeatedly ordered him not to cause trouble before he came, he would have caused trouble here, and he might not even be able to protect himself from his father, so his enthusiasm calmed down, otherwise, with his heart, he would have hacked Yang Xiuqing to death with a knife.
Yang Xiuqing had been paying attention to Li Youming, but as soon as he saw Li Youming endure it, he thought of a silent dog biting someone, so he thought about not getting too close to such poisonous snakes.
Just as everyone was talking and laughing, a group of military attachΓ©s dressed in majestic places rode over in front of them.
"Virtual, my lord has an order, this official is here with the order of the Son of Heaven to run an official errand, not to come to play and visit, so please disperse, but also in order to let you bathe in the grace of heaven, I invite all civil and military officials and talents to visit the Xuanhe Flower Club, and I hope that when the time comes, all the talented people can hug the beauty." After speaking, he scattered in all directions.
When Yang Xiuqing was about to take another look, he knew that those people would be so obedient and return to the city, especially the Wu Bei Si who led the team away as if he was going to flee for his life. Seeing this, Yang Xiuqing could only take Yang Er and Yang San away, and he was not ready to participate in the Ghost Flower Meeting, he still felt that he would quickly get rid of the Xiao family and return to Taiping County to be his rich second generation stable.
But as soon as Yang Xiuqing returned to the inn, Jin Dafu ran over with a big red piece of paper like a dog when he saw his master: "Son, look at what you are, you are the invitation to the flower boat of the Xuanhe Flower Society, and almost all the talents will be here." β
"Don't go, let's go to the trouble of the Xiao family overnight, I think something will happen to this flower club, let's hide as far as we can." Yang Xiuqing pondered for a while, but he still said his conjecture.
Jin Dafu looked at Yang Xiuqing with a sly expression, "Childe, I'm afraid I can't go if I don't go, I will go to the prefect to get an invitation letter in your name, if you don't go, you will be robbed of your fame." β
"Oh, it's fine." Yang Er and Yang Sanjiao taught Dafu what should be done and what should not be done. Immediately, Jin Dafu screamed at the door of the inn.
Yang Xiuqing also had a headache, thinking of the forces behind Wei Bing, he had a headache, he knew that for those big shots, he was just a period, and he was going to die casually, and he was not willing to be someone else's cannon fodder.
So Yang Xiuqing made up his mind, he only looked at it and didn't move, and Yang Xiuqing, who had made up his mind, was relieved and inquired about the musket, and he also asked Zhu Zhanpeng about the origin of the musket, but Zhu Zhanpeng said that he got it from the Scepter Bureau.
Yang Xiuqing looked at this sudden musket that looked like the Song Dynasty, and he wanted to make a gun based on the knowledge of muskets obtained in modern times.
In the Wei Mansion, Wei Bing was politely following an old man in his sixties in the back hall, "Old Wen, the eldest prince is concerned about your trip this time, I don't know what kind of effect you have for coming here this time." β
"What is the eldest prince, the old man doesn't know, I only know the emperor's order, didn't the court say it? The old man came this time to assess the officials and find talents for the Son of Heaven, and the guards were sent by the official family in order to take care of the old man, so you must not interfere with this assessment indiscriminately, or you will not blame the sword of the Son of Heaven brought by the old man, if there is any talent, you can recommend it to the official family. β
The old man didn't even look at Wei Bing, Wei Bing was obviously a little afraid of this old man, originally the eldest prince came to say, this time it was the second prince's people, he thought that he would cut it as soon as the person came, but when he knew that the person who came was this old man, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, because this old man was the emperor.
This old man also brought a team of Praetorian Guards and a sword of the Son of Heaven, what does this mean, does the emperor want to weaken the power of the eldest prince, or has the eldest prince already qualified, as a person who relied on the eldest prince to start his family, he had to think. Thinking of this, Wei Bing thought of Yang Xiuqing again.
"Oh, have you done what the old man told you to do?" Wei Bing was thinking about the purpose of the old man's coming here in a distracted manner, and what Yang Xiuqing said before, but he was startled by the old man's voice.
"Well, it's all done, and the famous and main officials of the whole government will be present at that time, but the court ordered to sort out the reputation of the officials in the whole government, but because there are a few bad officials to deal with, it has not been sorted out."
"The officials who broke the law also compiled a copy of the information for me." When Wei Bing heard the old man's words, his face should have turned pale, because the news he got before was wrong, he didn't take this inspector in his eyes, so he did things according to the orders of the imperial court, and he knew that he was going to die at this time.
"Isn't it possible for the court to let you go, and you dare to disobey your orders, don't say that it is the eldest prince, even the prince has to listen to the emperor." The old man's confused eyes flashed with a fine light in an instant.
"The lowly post has always been loyal and conscientious, and it is really some officials below who are corrupt and perverted the law to deal with, Wen Lao can rest assured, after the humble post is handled, it will be handed over to Wen Lao as soon as possible."
"Three days, three days, the old man wants to see the list and the paper, if not, take you and ask." After the old man finished speaking, his eyes were fascinated as if he were asleep.
Wei Bing wiped his cold sweat and said respectfully: "I know it." β
Wei Bing saw that the old man was silent, so he retired with a smile.
At this time, Wei Bing no longer moved out of the momentum of the eldest prince, this old man came to find trouble, or a person who didn't take the eldest prince in his eyes, he couldn't help but think of Yang Xiuqing, thinking of Yang Xiuqing's conjecture, he decided to let Yang Xiuqing make a cameo appearance as his master.
After Wei Bing left, in the back hall, a big man dressed like an ordinary person stood respectfully in front of the old man.
"You got it."
"The subordinates know that the subordinates will be monitoring Lord Wei Bingbing's next moves, but do you really ignore the rumors in the city?"
"No, but the source needs to be investigated."
Seeing that the big man did not retreat, the old man opened his eyes and asked curiously, "Is there anything else?" β
"My subordinate met an interesting person a month ago." As soon as the big man saw the old man's eyes that seemed to be blind, he knew that the old man was waiting for his words.
"That person's name is Yang Xiuqing, and he is the only son of the Yang family in Taiping County......
Dahan told how Yang Xiuqing got rid of the fate of Ben Xiao's family annexing the family property, and used the fire rifle to injure the bandits and persuaded Wei Bing to overthrow Long Yihua, and even turned Jin Dafu into a slave.
If Yang Xiuqing was here, he must have thought that someone was spying on him, and this was to turn his bottom up.
"Well, it seems that there is still something to be gained this time, don't pay attention to him now, the first priority at the moment is to dig out the backstage of the smuggling of weapons, but where is this person now, and whether he knows his identity." The old man didn't know what he remembered, but finally asked about Yang Xiuqing's family history.
"It's just that I can't find out the origin of the Yang family, so my subordinates say it's interesting."
"It's weird, there are still things that Hei Yunwei hasn't found out."
