Chapter 121: Three Evils
When he returned home, the officials also sent the official uniform and the prefect's seal. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Lin Yi took it in his hand and took a look, the appearance of the big seal was very beautiful, it was made of brass, and it was very heavy. I thought to myself, "This is the Great Seal!" With it, we will also be a big official in the future, hehe! I don't know if we can do it for a long time when we are so young? He sighed, rewarded the officials with 300 yuan, sent them back, and put the official uniform on his body.
"What a handsome!" The two fathers-in-law and several maids and servants around them gave a thumbs up and praised together, and even the eyes of the two ladies showed the brilliance of appreciation.
Lin Yi swayed around a few times, and felt beautiful in his heart, so he took off the official uniform on his body and put it away, handed the big seal to Yang Huijuan, and asked her to keep it carefully, while he sat in the chair with the two fathers-in-law and chatted together.
Yang Jichang asked: "Have you done anything about the dart game?" ”
Lin Yi said with a smile: "It's done, I have recruited thirty dart masters and will go with me." ”
Yang Jichang nodded, and said: "This eighth prince has an amiable appearance, and he looks like a virtuous king, but in fact, he is the most vicious, but the old man was almost killed by him one day when he was above the Golden Palace." ”
Liu Wubian said with a smile: "I said hello to Lord Wang Bo, and you just escaped with your life, otherwise, wait for the second time to send the border pass!" ”
Yang Jichang thanked him repeatedly. He has a young son, two daughters, a wife, and a concubine, if he is sent to the border to suffer again, it is really not much different from death, and he will definitely not be reinstated, and he doesn't want to suffer a second sin again. I didn't expect to sell my life for the eighth prince for so many years, but in the end he was abandoned like a dog, and he didn't have half a friendship for himself. After this blow, he can be regarded as having understood what loyal ministers, traitors, and living their own lives are true.
"Old Taishan, when did you leave the capital?" Lin Yi asked.
Yang Jichang pondered and said: "It's not a few days, and after more than ten days, the last term will expire, and I will leave immediately." ”
Lin Yi sighed and said: "Now that the three of us are officials, this team is very important, in today's world, the Eighth Prince does not allow us and regards us as enemies, so we have to hug the emperor's thigh." Otherwise, there is no one above, even if this official is honest, he will not be able to do it for a long time, the two fathers-in-law please remember what I said, you must be flexible, not dead-hearted, otherwise not only can you not realize the desire to save the world, but also leave disaster to your relatives at home? ”
Yang Jichang nodded yes. Liu Wubian followed Lin Yi during this time, and he had already become sleek, and said with a smile at the moment: "If you don't need this, you don't need to teach us anymore, when it's you, go to Zhengding Mansion, and be more careful." The three of them chatted a few more words, and Yang Jichang and Liu Wubian left together.
When they left, Lin Yi drank half a cup of tea and went to the bus company for a turn. I wanted to find Wang Yu and Yang Jingwen to say goodbye, but I didn't expect that the two of them went out of Beijing yesterday, saying that they were going to Luoyang to inspect the market of a bus company. Lin Yi sighed, wrote two letters, asked someone to hand them over, and turned around and walked back.
"Who are you taking tomorrow?" Yang Huijuan looked at him and asked.
The emperor ordered that one person must be brought to take office. This is really a bad choice, whoever you choose, will offend another person. Cough! Too many wives is trouble! not only had to coax them to be happy, but also had to think that she had no contradictions and had a fight. If you want to make your home a harmonious society all the time, this is really a headache.
Lin Yi thought for a while and said: "I will go back to Zhengding Mansion this time, it must be very dangerous, so I must bring someone who is often in the society, Sister Liu has been helping me take care of the newspaper, and she is exquisite, I see, she will accompany me!" ”
Liu Xinyi had a smile on her face and said lightly: "Okay! I'll go with you, and I'll go back and pack my bags. So he got up and went home.
Seeing that Liu Xinyi was gone, Yang Huijuan naturally didn't follow, and she was arguing to go, saying that Lin Yi was eccentric.
Lin Yi wiped the sweat on his head, and coaxed her for a long time before he made her happy again. In order to prevent her from entangling this issue anymore and letting herself say something wrong, Lin Yi hurriedly diverted the topic, instructed her to quickly pack her luggage, prepare for the entanglement on the road, and chose the person to accompany him.
This Archie must have been brought with him, he was very loyal, old-fashioned, and safe, and he happened to be his assistant. The pillar is also to be brought, this little guy is very clever, and he can catch the car, Lin Yi is used to it, so naturally he has to take it with him. In addition, I have to take someone with me, which is Yahuan Chunyu, this little girl has good martial arts, keep her by her side, just to protect Liu Xinyi. And take her away, and you don't have to worry about what grievances she has suffered, and quarrel with Yang Huijuan's master and servant. She is the person next to Xinyuelan, and if she is wronged, she will not be happy in her heart.
Lin Yi ordered someone to call the three of them and explained to them that he was going to take them to Zhengding Mansion, and the three of them agreed. Chunyu said happily: "I've been bored in this house for a long time, so I'm just going out for a walk!" After that, I went back to my room to pack my luggage, and my face was still happy. Archie and Zhuzi were also very happy on their faces, from now on, we will be the people next to the prefect, hehe! The fourth-grade official in front of the prime minister, in front of the prefect's door, which is also a seven-rank official, which county lord is in front of us, he can't be polite?
Yang Huijuan and Lin Yi have just gotten married, and they are going to separate, so they are naturally reluctant. At night, I had a romantic relationship with Lin Yi and lingered all night, and I hugged and cried for a night. The next day, with tears in his eyes, he was sent out of the door, Liu Xinyi also came, threw her luggage on the car, and got into the car, Chunyu grabbed the sword in her hand, jumped up, and got into the car.
Lin Yi waved vigorously to his newlywed wife at the gate, got into the front of the car, and instructed the pillar to drive the carriage to the north gate.
Ten miles out of the north gate, there is a long pavilion, which is the place where the capital sends off relatives. But today, because of the light rain, there was no one in the pavilion. Lin Yi instructed the pillar to stop the carriage, and he and Archie walked into the pavilion to sit down. After a while, I saw a group of 30 people from the Zhengxing Dart Bureau wearing robes and hats coming and standing outside the pavilion.
Ma Chao walked into the pavilion, bowed down and said, "Lord Lin, I arrived on time, and I didn't delay." ”
Lin Yi nodded and ordered, "Brother Ma, you go to Zhengding Mansion here, don't go with me." Instead, five people were separated, quietly tailing behind me, secretly protecting me. The remaining twenty-five people, you will lead the team into Zhengding Mansion City in advance and carefully collect information on all aspects of the Mansion City. Remember, pretend to be a guest from the north and south, and don't reveal your identity and let others know! As he spoke, he took out a small bag from his bosom, threw it on the table, and said, "This is three hundred taels of silver, you take out the flowers first, and then tell me if there is anything that is insufficient." ”
"It's my lord!" Ma Chao took the silver, happily walked out of the long pavilion, counted twenty-five people, and went away. The remaining five people, after Lin Yi got in the car and left, were three or four miles away from them, and followed unhurriedly.
Kaifeng to Zhengding Mansion, almost more than 900 miles, the road is very far away. Fortunately, the road is basically a large plain with a flat river, and the road is very easy to walk, and I took a carriage, so Lin Yi and his party were not too tired. On this day, it has entered the territory of Zhengding Province.
Lin Yi instructed the pillar to slow down, poke his head out of the carriage, and carefully enjoy the scenery on the side of the road. Zhengding Mansion is today's HB Shijiazhuang area, located in Pingchuan, densely populated, has been a prosperous and wealthy place since ancient times, but Lin Yi all the way, most of the people are dressed in tatters, their faces are dish, and many people have a layer of sadness on their faces.
Strange, strange! The growth of this sorghum is gratifying, it should be a bumper year, why do the people have a sad face? Lin Yi was puzzled, and saw that there was an open-air restaurant on the side of the road, so he ordered the pillar to stop the car, helped Liu Xinyi down, and found a clean table to sit down.
The shopkeeper was a fat old man of fifty years old, who came over to greet him with a smile. Lin Yi asked for three large, two small and five bowls of noodles, a few side dishes, sat and drank tea, waiting for the food to be served. At this time, an old man in tattered clothes and more than sixty years old, tremblingly led a little boy with yellow face and thin muscles to stand in front of their table, the old man held a dirty and broken bowl, stretched out to Lin Yi, and begged: "This lord and lady, you can do well, give two small dollars!" My little grandson and I are starving to death. ”
Liu Xinyi was moved by compassion and took out a dozen coins from his arms and put them in his bowl. The old man nodded and thanked him repeatedly.
Lin Yi frowned, threw five or six small coins in his bowl, and asked: "Uncle, I want to ask you something, I heard that your accent is a local, this Zhengding Mansion is a grain-producing area, a rich land, why do you still bring your little grandson to beg for food!" ”
The old man shook his head and sighed: "This old man doesn't know, it's all because we have three evils in Zhengding Mansion!" ”
"Three evils?" This sentence immediately aroused Lin Yi's interest, and he hurriedly asked, "Old man, but I don't know what are the three evils of this Zhengding Mansion?" ”
The old man hesitated and snorted for a while, but did not say a word.
Lin Yi took out another small silver ingot from his arms, touched it about two taels, stuffed it in his hand, and said: "Old man, we are merchants who are going to Youzhou to join our relatives, passing by Zhengding Mansion, I am afraid that the three evils of your Zhengding Mansion will be collided on the road?" I hope the old man will tell me! ”
The old man grabbed the silver in his hand, clenched it tightly, and said with a smile: "I think this old man is a good man, so I'll tell you!" The three evils of Zhengding Mansion are the bandits of Qinglong Mountain, the miscellaneous taxes of the imperial court, and the AP county prince of Zhengding Mansion City. ”
