Chapter 26: The Li family is arrogant
Yang Chong kept thinking about it in the carriage, and the poisonous dragon guest slept until dark, and when he arrived at the Yangxi Post Station, when he got off the car, the poisonous dragon guest muttered: "Our boss's surname is Xiao." ”
Xiao, Yang Chong's first thought was the Lanling Xiao family, one of the four top gate valves with overseas Chinese surnames in the Southern Dynasty, and the only family in the Great Sui that established two dynasties. Yang Chong only felt that the first one was two big, no wonder he said that the Shi clan was irresistible, and they were really indispensable everywhere; Yang Chong walked in front, his attention was not concentrated enough, and he was bumping into a person who came out of the post house, Yang Chong knew that something was wrong, and quickly reached out to support the other party, but he felt that the starting point was too soft.
Yang Chong fixed his eyes and saw that it was a young boy, and hurriedly let go of his hand and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Brother Gongzi was fair-skinned, his face was slightly red, and he said, "It's okay." ”
The other party's voice was weak, Yang Chong couldn't help but look at the other party carefully, it was really a woman, Yang Chong didn't want to cause trouble, so he immediately stepped aside; Unhurried, the woman walked down the steps and disappeared into the dark streets. Shi Daqian and the others were leashing their horses and parking, and they didn't notice this, the poisonous dragon guest seemed to be unaware and walked directly into the post station; But while everyone was having dinner, there was chaos in the inn, and some people even ran here to look for it.
Shan Fu went out to inquire, and it turned out that Li Xiyu, the daughter of Li Wang, the prince of Xi'an County, was missing, Li Wang was the nephew of Li Hun, the general of the Right Xiaowei, and the Li family of Longxi. Longxi Li clan had risen in the turbulent times of the Wei and Jin dynasties, Li Hui, the king of Xiliang, was the first monarch of the Li family, since then the Li clan of Longxi has been re-elected to the Gui group, the world is significant, and the Li clan of Zhaojun, the Cui clan of Qinghe, the Cui clan of Boling, the Lu clan of Fanyang, the Zheng clan of Xingyang, and the Wang clan of Taiyuan are the five surnames of the Gaomen Shi clan in the Central Plains.
In the Sui Dynasty, the Li clan in Longxi leaned towards the government and the opposition because of Li Mu. Li Mu supported Yang Jian's rebellion in the rebellion of Wei Chi Hui, and sent ten sons Li Hun into Beijing as a hostage, in the first year of the emperor's reign, Li Mu was worshiped as a prince, allowing him not to report his name when he praised and worshipped, and gave the real seal of 3,000 households in Cheng'an County, Li Mu's descendants, even if they were still in infancy, they were all worshiped as Yitong, and there were more than 100 children in the family who held the elephant wat as an official.
Li Wang's entourage and local officers and soldiers quickly blocked the post station, and then expanded the area around the post station to search, but no one was found until dawn; Yang Chong woke up, freshened up, ate breakfast, and asked Duhu to ask the officials of the post station when the blockade would be lifted.
As soon as the officials of the post station heard that the person who came was the young master of the Duhu family, and the chief officer of this mission was Yang Chong, who killed people in the Pei family, he almost didn't cry, and immediately followed Duhu to see Yang Chong, and said politely: "Lord Yang, the villain really has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, but the prince of Xi'an County doesn't speak, and the villain can't be the master." Otherwise, Lord Yang, you will work hard and go with me to visit the county magistrate and discuss. ”
The official was forty years old, and Yang Chongfa couldn't get angry because of his low voice, so he went to see Li Wang with Duhu Yanshou; Sure enough, it was the shadow of the famous tree, and as soon as he heard about Yang Chong, Li Wang's entourage immediately went in to report. Li Wang was on the fire, and when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say no, Yang Chong was not angry when he heard the word, and he and Duhu Yanshou turned around and went back to their room, telling their subordinates that they would not leave today.
The post station was blocked for two days in a row, Li Hun and Wei Jin and others ran over from Chang'an, when the blockade was lifted, Li Hun specially met with Yang Chong and Shi Daqian once, Yang Chong and others asked why Li Wang was so nervous, it turned out that Li Xiyu was ready to be dedicated to Yang Jin, the king of Qi. After the death of the crown prince Yang Zhao, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty did not set up a prince, but Yang Jun, the king of Qi, was the closest person to that position, Yang Jin happened to see Li Xiyu, and he had a good impression, Wei Jin agreed as soon as he said it, and now there is such an incident, it is really unpredictable.
Li Hun, Yang Chong, and Shi Daqian said that they hoped that when the mission went west, they could help find it, although it was a needle in a haystack, but it was better than doing nothing. After Li Wang waited for Yang Chong and the two to go out, he said angrily: "What do you have to say to this kid who doesn't know the height of the sky." ”
Li Hun shook his head and said: "Yang Chongjian is in the heart of the emperor, although he is not favored by us, but in the eyes of Yuwenshu and Yang Da, this person has a bright future. ”
Wei Jin smiled: "It also depends on whether Lord Yang can retreat in the Western Regions. ”
Yang Chong had already taken the mission to continue westward, so naturally he couldn't hear Wei Jin's taunts, but Yang Chong knew that there were countless people waiting to see his jokes now, so in the next few days, Yang Chong would do one thing and talk to everyone in the mission. When he arrived in Zhangye, Yang Chong basically knew the situation of these people under him, and he also conceived a plan.
After entering Zhangye City and living in the post house, Yang Chong asked the poisonous dragon guest to pack the valuable jewelry into a small box, and arranged for Shi Daqian and Shan Fu to transport all the remaining jewelry and silk to the market, sell them at market prices, and buy ten slaves and twenty camels in their prime, as well as a large amount of grain and forage. When the carriage and twenty camels were filled with goods, Yang Chong asked Shan Ying and a soldier named Deng Huo to change their civilian clothes, pretend to be merchants, and went to the Changfeng Carriage Company to rent two carriages to load the remaining grain, and entrusted the carriage to send them to Gaochang City.
Yang Chong instructed Shan Ying that when he arrived in Gaochang, he must sell the grain like a merchant, and then look for goods at the right price in the market every day, and buy a little every day or two; As for the contact location, it was set at Shan Ying's uncle's house, and Shan Fu knew. The poisonous dragon guest tasted the tea soup and said with a smile: "You are giving the car dealer a problem, how can you not think about the food loaded at the post house, besides, ten more people on the road will be safe?" ”
Yang Chong quibbled: "On this road, how can there be absolute safety, I let Shan Ying go to Gaochang, just to prepare more, as for what the car dealer thinks, I don't care, if something goes wrong, my responsibility is not a little smaller." The most important thing is that ordinary horse thieves, why bother against the officials and troops of the Sui Dynasty, it is difficult to deal with, and there is no oil and water. If we only had a cart of grain and twenty camels of forage in our hands, would they be interested? Every time I go to a city, I will replenish a little bit so that all the horse thieves know how much we have. ”
The poisonous dragon guest praised: "Good strategy, in this case, it is the enemy who still comes to rob, there is no misunderstanding." But now you start spending money, you go to Kangguo, what do you use to buy a bloody BMW. ”
Yang Chong replied: "Can five hundred taels of gold buy a bloody horse?" Buying a horse bone is almost the same. Our mission also received a sum of money in the Ministry of Rites, and I will ask Shi Daqian to hand it over to you later, and you will start buying jewelry when you arrive in Kangguo. ”
Duhu Yanshou was startled when he heard this, and asked in a low voice: "Yang Chong, if you do this, you won't want me to go to the wild to surrender a sweaty horse, right?" That kind of horse is the king of horses, and the difficulty is too high, I am not sure. ”
Duhu Yanshou was telling the truth, and the poisonous dragon guest laughed and said: "Duhu Yanshou, don't talk about sweat and blood, anyway, follow Yang Chong this time, eat and sleep well, and come back safely, as for whether the mission can be completed, it is not our business, the sky is falling and there is Lord Yang on it." ”
