Yang Xiaoyu sat in the car and yawned, and walked for a long time before the carriage stopped.

He stepped out of the carriage and looked around, it was desolate, the streets were deserted, there were few people, and there was no sound in the courtyards on either side.

In front of the center is the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, and there are more than a dozen men with knives standing in front of the door.

Yang Xiaoyu sent someone forward to report his name, and after standing outside and waiting for a while, two black-faced middle-aged men strode out with a large group of officials with smiles on their faces.

"Xiaguan Ding Chenghu has seen Lord Yang!"

"Xiaguan Huang Zhongwei has seen Lord Yang!"

……

Waiting for the names of the thousands and hundreds of households behind the two of them, Yang Xiaoyu arched his hand and smiled: "This official came to take office today and met your colleagues!" ”

The group smiled and asked Yang Xiaoyu to enter the Zhenfu Division to speak.

Yang Xiaoyu had a full smile on his face, and followed everyone into the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division.

He knew very well that the reason why Ding Chenghu and Huang Zhongwei greeted him with a smile was largely because he did not involve their interests.

The two of them were in charge of criminal cases in other places, and the pacification envoy was in charge of the Gyeonggi criminal case, and they reported directly to the emperor, and they couldn't hit each other with eight poles.

If you want to say that there is an implication, at most there is a big case in the field, and the two of them can't be the master, so they will discuss it with the pacification envoy, and then report it to the emperor.

When they came to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, everyone was busy preparing wine and food to wash the dust for Yang Xiaoyu.

Yang Xiaoyu didn't shirk it, sat down on the wine table with a smile, and everyone began to tout!

During the drinking, five thousand households under the jurisdiction of the Zhenfu Division reported their lives, and the five people were Bao Ziming, Cheng Wenfu, Geng Kaicheng, Zhou Heguang, and Bai Chengwang.

Bao Ziming was a young man, about twenty-six or seventeen years old, with long shoulders and a round waist, a burly body, and a dark face. Responsible for the arrest of bandits.

Cheng Wenfu is a middle-aged man in his forties, not tall or short, with a ruddy complexion, slightly narrowed eyes, a very ordinary appearance, and a small beard on his chin. It feels like a farmer, and he is responsible for arresting the families of the convicts.

Geng Kaicheng is in his thirties, his appearance is not handsome, he can only be described as general, with yellowish skin, a square face, about eight feet tall, and a dignified look on his face, responsible for guarding the prison.

Zhou Heguang is in his forties. With a kind face, a smile on his face all the time, a strong body, it can be seen that he is good at martial arts, his temples are slightly raised, and his eyes are sharp, it can be seen that this person has a lot of blood on his hands, and he is also responsible for arresting bandits.

Bai Chengwang is a young man. Twenty-three or four-year-old, also a little white face. Si Swenwen feels like a scholar, but his eyes are cold and quiet, and he can see that this person has a good psychological quality, and he may have killed people; He is responsible for the arrest of convicts and their families.

The faces of these five people are all different, and without exception, they are all killed!

Yang Xiaoyu carefully looked at the faces of these five people. Secretly remembered in his heart, if his expectations were right, when he came into contact with these people for a long time, their faces would also become uncertain and strange.

A reception feast drank for a morning. Ding Chenghu, who drank directly, vomited and vented, and everyone also drifted up.

At ten o'clock at noon, the reception banquet was over, and the five hundred households staggered down to rest.

Huang Zhongwei, the deputy commander of the left, instructed Tiqi to take Ding Chenghu down to rest, and then asked Yang Xiaoyu if he wanted to go to the backyard to rest.

Yang Xiaoyu didn't drink much, his head was quite sober, he politely rejected Huang Zhongwei's kindness, and asked without a trace: "Lord Huang, has the emperor had a case recently?" ”

"Sichuan extravagant Chongming rebelled, and the governor Xu Keqiu played the court a few days ago, asking the court to allocate military salaries to quell the rebellion, and the emperor was worried about it!" Huang Zhong replied with a deep meaning.

Yang Xiaoyu nodded, he understood what Huang Zhongwei meant!

Sichuan counterinsurgency needs military salaries, and the Donglin Party's proposition must be based on pacification, and the carpenter emperor does not know a single word, and without the assistance of close ministers, it is difficult to make up his mind, and the situation in Sichuan will not be optimistic.

Yang Xiaoyu glanced at the sky, talked to Huang Zhongwei for a while, took his official uniform and ribbon, and left the house.

Emperor Carpenter ascended the throne just over a year, some military and political affairs by the Donglin Party people to decide, Wei Zhongxian, who is proficient in conspiracy and trickery, at this time is alone, not only to eradicate the sworn enemies in the court, but also to compete with the Donglin Party, powerless, difficult to do in a short time.

The Donglin Party, which advocated Confucianism to rule the world, was in power, and naturally would not let the carpenter emperor cut down the minister.

Therefore, he, as a pacifier, can also be idle, come to order every morning, and the rest of the time is idle.

Back to Fuchu.

Yang Xiaoyu took two turns in the mansion, and felt pretty good, in the capital, a place where dignitaries and dignitaries gathered, there could be such a big mansion, which could be regarded as an upper-class figure in the capital.

It's just that the mansion is too big, and there are few maids and subordinates, and the pomp is not enough.

After thinking about it, Yang Xiaoyu asked Hu Chenghe to buy a hundred maidservants on the street and come back.

In the capital, there is a shortage of everything, that is, there is no shortage of servant girls who are sold into slavery.

Hu Chenghe went out for less than half a day, and bought nearly a hundred maidservants back.

Yang Xiaoyu painted with a big hand, fifty maidservants went to the backyard to clean the courtyards, and the others cleaned the front house, serving tea and pouring water.

The maidservants brought from Jiangnan all stayed in the backyard to take care of his daily life.

When he first came to the capital, Yang Xiaoyu chose Taoguang to raise obscurity, and when he saw the carpenter emperor, he thought about climbing up.

Every morning, I went to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division to order Mao, came back at noon, and practiced swords in the house at night.

Day by day.

The cold winter wax moon is coming in a blink of an eye!

On this day, the small banner of the Zhenfu Division came to report, and the inner court sent a will to let Yang Xiaoyu enter the palace to face the saint.

After waiting for so many days, finally waiting for the opportunity to meet the carpenter emperor, Yang Xiaoyu didn't say a word, and hurriedly summoned the maidservants, freshened up, changed into a unicorn suit, and went to the palace in a carriage.

These days, he had learned some of the royal rules from the handmaidens.

When he came to the gate of the palace, Yang Xiaoyu asked the guards on duty to search his body and reported his name, so that he could see the carpenter emperor.

Along the way, he followed the eunuch who led the way through most of the Forbidden City and came to the front of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

The eunuch standing in front of the hall shouted at the top of his voice: "Xuan, calm Yang Xiaoyu and see you!" ”

Yang Xiaoyu lowered his head, entered the main hall, and knelt down and bowed up.

In fact, he hated the kneeling of the Ming Dynasty very much, but in order to win the favor of the carpenter emperor, he still endured his nausea and bowed into the hall step by step.

"Ministers meet the emperor, long live our emperor!" Yang Xiaoyu knelt on the ground and prayed.

"Excuse me!"

The carpenter emperor sitting on the dragon couch shouted mechanically.

Yang Xiaoyu stood up, glanced at the carpenter emperor on the dragon couch, and hurriedly lowered his head, looking well-behaved.

"Yang Aiqing, I sent you here to do one thing!" The Carpenter Emperor said calmly.

"Please ask the emperor to command!" Yang Xiaoyu bowed and bowed, and said loudly.

"After I know that you are a hero, the Jiangmen family, you have to keep this matter a secret, and you can't talk about it to the outside world!"

"The minister swears to heaven that he will never reveal a word!"

The Carpenter Emperor nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand for Yang Xiaoyu to come forward.

Yang Xiaoyu looked around, and saw that there were two maidservants around the carpenter emperor, and a eunuch, the carpenter emperor's IQ was really worrying, he had eyeliner in front of him, and asked him to keep it a secret, isn't this stupid?

He stepped forward slowly, stopped five steps away from the dragon couch, and arched his hand: "Please ask the emperor to command!" ”

"Mrs. Fengsheng will leave Beijing tomorrow, I am worried that the road is far away, and Mrs. Fengsheng's body and bones cannot bear it, you take someone to escort Mrs. Fengsheng to live outside the city for a period of time, and then send her back to Hebei when Mrs. Fengsheng is well." The Carpenter Emperor said with a little sadness.

Yang Xiaoyu was taken aback, this is not a good errand, the ministers of the court and the central government united to drive the Hakka out of the palace and send him back to his hometown, the emperor also agreed to the court, if he escorted the Hakka back to his hometown, it would be okay, but if he was escorted out of the city and protected, I don't know how the ministers of the court and the central government would impeach him after getting the news?

With the prestige of the Donglin Party in the court, if he dares to take over this errand, he will inevitably end up with dismissal and return to his hometown.

Yang Xiaoyu pondered for a moment and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, if the ministers know about this, what should the ministers do?" Is it to send Madame Bong back to her hometown? Or will you send Madame Bongsheng back to the palace? ”

"Let you protect Mrs. Fengsheng to live outside the city, how can you send Mrs. back to her hometown, as for returning to the palace, this matter will not work, in short, I don't care, you have to find a way to settle Mrs. Fengsheng well, don't let the minister hear the news of her outside the city, as for how to do it, do you want me to teach you?"
