Three days later.

In the south of Pizhou City, the "Unenvious Immortal" teahouse.

This teahouse is located on Ying'en Street in the city, and there are rice markets, grocery markets, felt markets, Yau Ma markets, etc., and the merchants are gathered and bustling.

Then the teahouse is not far from the cross street, there are Guanghui Street through the West Gate, Wenming Street through the East Gate, Fengcheng Street through the North Gate, and this Yingen Street through the South Pass, the location is good, the transportation is convenient.

The teahouse has two floors, which is a typical book teahouse, and the customers mainly drink tea, listen to books and operas, and eat some small pastries made by the shopkeeper. There are also a variety of consumption, you can go up to the second floor to drink good flower tea, Longjing tea, etc., or you can drink cheap big bowls of tea in the lobby.

There are even various stalls next to it, selling all kinds of local snacks, salt beans, vegetable pancakes, fried small fish, customers buy them, and the shopkeeper doesn't ask.

In the future, it is the so-called "bring your own drinks and snacks".

Therefore, the business of this teahouse is very good, and it is crowded with people from early in the morning, with pedicures, massages, and ear picking, and people are buzzing.

At this time, the "big book" on the stage had just ended, and in the applause, Mr. Storyteller went down, followed by "Little Book", that is, a program of commenting on bullets.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, many people shouted: "Little Er, add some tea." ”

"Here we are." Dr. Tea responded, and they all came to each person's table with a huge copper teapot with a long mouth. When you raise your hand, the hot tea is poured directly into the tea bowl, like a white line. It's just filled, and there is no drip left outside, and the technique is amazing.

said that it was a doctor, in fact, these people were all mixed with tea and ran away, but it should not be underestimated, many old guys have unique skills.

They pour a tea with a variety of tricks, what "Su Qin back the sword", what "Jiaolong explores the sea", "flying fairy", "boy worships Guanyin" and so on, which is dazzling and pleasing to the eye.

But obviously, all the tea customers were not surprised, they listened to the upper middle of the bangzi, but what they said was the most recent thing.

"Well, have you heard? The city of Luzhou fell. ”

A tea guest on the second floor said: "I heard that on the 19th of last month, the eight thieves captured Luzhou and killed them very badly. Then, a few days later, the thieves fell into the state of Wuwei again, and the people threw themselves into the river and sank themselves. Alas, what's wrong with this Da Ming. ”

A tea guest also sighed: "I also heard about it, but the city of Luzhou is deep and deep, why did it fall?" I remember that when Chongzhen was eight years old, the thieves also attacked Luzhou, but they were defeated by the prefect Wu Dapu. Why did you change Zheng Luxiang, and Luzhou fell? ”

A tea guest said: "Legend has it that it was the eight thieves who disguised themselves as Confucian students, and when the scholars were able to test, they entered with Confucian crowns. Then in the middle of the night they set fire to it, and the city was broken. ”

Everyone was curious to inquire, but a tea guest retorted: "This is all a rumor, and the tenant downstairs is a Luzhou person who has fled." He said that after Wu Fuzun went, 'Tielu Prefecture' was no longer there, and in recent years, there have been continuous locust droughts, and people are confused. After offering the thief Keshu City, he ordered the elite cavalry to sneak attack, and he climbed to the city from the General Temple with thirteen shearing thieves, but there was no one who knew it. Then he opened the Great West Gate, and let the thieves into the city, and killed people all over the streets, and the city was broken. He also took advantage of the chaos to escape from Luzhou City. ”

Everyone was terrified when they heard it, thinking about the misery at that time, a tea guest said quietly: "I remember that at the beginning of last month, those eight thieves were defeated by Master Yang, the head of Lian. He took some remnants of the army back, why did he capture Luzhou City? Alas, since the thieves are in turmoil to the present, there is no city in Fengyang Mansion and Luzhou Mansion that does not fall. The people of these two places are miserable......"

Everyone is silent, bad news continues, and there is always a shadow of the death of the country hanging over the heart, which makes people breathless.

After a long time, a tea guest said quietly: "We in Pizhou City, won't we also be robbed, right?" ”

At this moment, all the tea guests were gossiping: "No, definitely not, not to mention that there is a big river blocking it, just say that Lord Yang, the head of Suining Lian, will be transferred to Pizhou." His old man is a thief who has been defeated in a row, and he is a hero of the thief, with him in charge, Pizhou City will definitely be solid. ”

Everyone was enthusiastic about discussing the matter of Yang He, he defeated the thieves twice, and they were both drama thieves. A thief Cao thief commanded a tiger, Yuan Zongdi, Wang Long and others. At one time, it was the leather thief, the eight thieves and others who came in person.

But in the end, they were all defeated, not to mention, I heard that they were extorted by Lord Yang for two coins of silver.

When it comes to this, everyone is not ashamed, but has a sense of pride and empathy.

In troubled times, the most important thing is to have the power to ensure the safety of the people under his rule.

The rest is not done by a gentleman, this is all a trivial.

I also heard that Lord Yang came back from paying a visit to Shi Duchen, and it was rumored that he was quite respected by Shi Xianggong.

The nineteen-year-old seven-rank official has a deep backstage, which is really enviable.

Of course, I heard that Lord Yang is coming to take office.

More well-informed people said that they heard that the major people of the state government, the major people of the health center, the celebrities and villagers inside and outside Pizhou City, and even the two adults of the River Affairs Department and the Ministry of Industry and the Water Department of the Ministry of Industry all gathered in the "Yingchun Building" on Yaqian Street, looking like they were going to pick up the wind and wash the dust.

In addition, Deng Guan, the ambassador of the delivery station, went to the "Wanghuai Gate" early, looking like he was greeting people.

Maybe Lord Yang will come today.

In this way, under Lord Yang's rule, it is important to listen to his preferences and taboos.

So as not to cause any trouble and touch any mold, this is also the way of survival for the common people.

"I heard that this Lord Yang is at peace with the people, and his subordinates are also very strict in military discipline and never harass the people. It's because of his life experience, he hates bandits very much, and even hates the green-skinned sticks. I heard that when he was in Suining, he killed all the people, and he killed all the fighting, cheating, and scoundrels. ”

"If Lord Yang comes to Pizhou, hehe......"

A well-informed tea guest said, his eyebrows fluttering, and his tone was intensely gloating.

When I see that others are going to be unlucky, I always feel happy in my heart. Not to mention, the unlucky one who is going to be hate is the bandit Qingpi that everyone hates.

There have always been many bandits in Pizhou, and they have done evil, and the encounter of Song Ganlai's Fengshan villagers is just one of the representatives.

Because it is located on the main road of Caoyun, this side of the business is prosperous, and the activities of the green skin stick are countless times more rampant than Suining County.

This place also has a special feature, in addition to the local rogue people, many of the green skins are homeless beggars from other places.

They are fierce and unscrupulous, and if they are not satisfied, they will add up sticks and hatred. The government is helpless against these people, and even the local scoundrels, the lawless officials of the government collude with them, and the local good people suffer greatly.

The notes of the contemporaries said that there were four major evils in Pizhou at the end of the middle and middle Ming Dynasty, "litigation sticks", "gambling sticks", "funeral sticks", and "matchmakers".

These four evils are so outstanding that they are compared to the local fraudsters.

Or maybe they collude with each other and have intertwined forces.

And these people are inextricably linked with bandits everywhere.

Hearing that Lord Yang likes to attack these villains, everyone in the teahouse is excited.

They talked about all kinds of Yang River, and everyone agreed that after Lord Yang arrived, the situation in Pizhou would definitely be different.

At least, there will be a lot fewer bandits here, and the people will feel more at ease when they walk on the road, and they will not encounter the kidnapping and extortion of bandits at every turn.

Just as he was talking happily, a young man in his twenties in the corner raised his head, he was dressed in a green shirt, wearing a scarf, his face was fair, and he looked polite.

But seeing his eyes flashing and his demeanor with a hint of depth, it showed that this person was not ordinary.

He put down the teacup, thought about something silently for a while, opened the folding fan, and got up and went downstairs.

Seeing him, many tea guests greeted one after another: "Yo, it's Zhao Maocai." ”

"Zhao Maocai, didn't you go to the state school today?"

That Zhao Maocai smiled and saluted one by one, and his demeanor was kind.

He is a local chef, and his name is Zhao Huanlu. This person was selected for Xiucai at the age of twenty-one, and he has always been a poor student, which should not be underestimated. In particular, his father, Zhao Gaotang, opened a money bank and had many businesses, and was one of the local powerhouses.

In the eyes of everyone, the Zhao family has always been mysterious, and Zhao Gaotang has mostly appeared in front of the world as a great benevolent.

Seeing Zhao Huanlu go downstairs, everyone upstairs continued to chat, and some people also talked about the news they heard from the Di Bao.

said that Gao Douguang, the governor of Fengyang, was ineffective in supervising the army, and he lost many cities in a row, and he may be punished.

It is rumored that there is a great possibility that Admiral Ma Shiying will supervise Lufeng's military affairs next.

……

Zhao Huanlu went downstairs, and some tea customers who knew him here also greeted him respectfully.

But Zhao Huanlu ignored the interest, these people who drank big bowls of tea, their identities could not be compared with the tea guests upstairs.

He only shook his fan indifferently and walked out of the "Unenvious Immortal" teahouse.

Today, he was bored and meditated, and he was greatly shocked by the news that he had accidentally discovered, and it seemed that it was necessary to go back and discuss with his father.

Just as he was about to go back, suddenly some officials rushed over, led by Qi Xuanma Qi of the strong class, Niu Xuejun Niu of the fast class, Lai Xianlai and so on.

Zhao Huanlu was strange, so he listened to a few team leaders say: "Hurry up, hurry up and drive everyone away, the road is vacated, and the new Pizhou Lian General has arrived at Liliang Bridge." ”

There was a bang for a while, and the people on the street were shaken, and the news spread, and the people on this side of Ying'en Street gathered on both sides of the street to prepare to see.

Even the guests of the "Unenvious Immortal" teahouse came out one after another and crowded to the side of the street. The tea guests on the second floor stood by the windows one by one, ready to take a good seat at any time.

Zhao Huanlu didn't leave, and moved to the steps of a shop to look.

Look at Niu Xuejun Niu Bantou below, with a gloomy face, and his younger brother Niu Xuezhu, frowning.

At this time, the fast shift official sighed: "Alas, this surnamed Yang is doing well in Suining, what are you doing in Pizhou?" It's not a good time to live now. ”

Hearing him complain, his brother Niu Xuejun turned his head and glared at him, and said in a low voice: "Be cautious, be careful of the trouble that comes out of your mouth." ”

As he spoke, he glanced around vigilantly.

For them, the officials, in the land of the state and county, it can be said that they are kings and hegemons, but when they meet a "Yang killing star", not to mention cutting melons and vegetables for the green-skinned bachelors, they don't agree with each other, and they all fight the officials in the county.

When the news of Suining came, the members of the state government may not be without the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox.

It's just that this surnamed Yang is very sharp, not to mention that the fierce thieves have been defeated, and they are also highly valued by Shi Xianggong.

He has a large number of fierce townsmen, and he can't afford to provoke such a person, so he can only be cautious.

Not to mention the hearts of these officials, around this area of the people, there are still some people who look like sticks with their sleeves caged.

There is a purple-robed man in the middle, with a long scar on his face, which makes him look even stronger.

At this time, he was worried, and said to a man with a goatee next to him: "Master Zheng, I don't know if this Lord Yang is here, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for us. In Tian's heart, he is always up and down. ”

The goatee Zheng Ye also sighed: "Alas, let's take a step and see a step." ”

The purple-robed man is the head of a dozen lines in the city, calling for wind and rain in Pizhou City over the years, and even the seven wolves of Suining were arrogant for a while, and finally he was beaten away alive, and rushed to Suining, where birds don't, and he occupied this fertile land.

However, life was comfortable, but he heard a news, a few months ago, the "Suining Seven Wolves" were exterminated by Nayang River in the name of thieves, he didn't like it, he didn't like it, such a fate, don't fall on his own head.

The goatee is the backbone of a local fraudster, no more than Liang Wuye and others, he goes to the economic field, such as mixing ashes in wine, stuffing sand in chickens, blowing beautiful air in geese and sheep, fish and meat through the water, weaving and brushing oil powder, etc., which are widely welcomed by illegal traders in Pizhou City.

It stands to reason that their industry and Lord Yang are well water and do not violate river water, but that Lord Yang does not play cards according to common sense, and the things he did in Suining City are a little difficult to do.

The two of them had no choice but to take one step at a time.

With worry, the purple-robed man suddenly moved his nose, and when he looked back, it was a small stall next to him, selling vegetable pancakes.

Then he turned back and took two, and handed one to the goatee, and they ate as they continued to act as they were worried.

Seeing that the top has been taken, the sticks around him are also smiling, you take one, I take one, and in a blink of an eye, the stall owner's pancakes were taken out, but no one gave money.

The stall owner gritted his teeth and didn't dare to say anything.

Some of the people next to them looked at them, but they were glared at viciously by these ground sticks, and they immediately retracted their gazes.

Look at those officials again, and you should not see what these sticks have done.

Zhao Huanlu also glanced at them, and immediately a ground stick glared at him viciously, with murderous intent and murderous intent in his eyes.

Zhao Huanlu looked at him indifferently, and the stick was even more fierce in his eyes, and he was about to jump up.

Suddenly, a person next to him pulled him and said a few words.

There was fear in the stick's eyes, and then he didn't dare to look at Zhao Huanlu again.

Zhao Huanlu was still standing calmly, when a voice suddenly shouted, "Lord Yang is here." ”

Immediately, the whole street was in an uproar, and everyone crowded to look that way.

Zhao Huanlu tried his best to look at it.

Just listen to the sound of iron hooves, accompanied by the trembling of neat footsteps.

There was also a large banner sticking out, bright red as blood.
