Chapter Sixty-Nine: Five-Rank Official Hat?

PS: Happy Lantern Festival!

Among the huts.

He Tao did not bring a dry water bandit back to the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households.

Instead, the thatched hut on the dock was occupied and used as the torture room of the brocade guard.

In this regard, Yang Xiaoyu smiled helplessly, at this time the city gate was not opened, even if the Jinyi Guard was powerful, it would never be possible to enter the city, He Tao had no place to try the prisoners, so he could only use this place as a foothold for the time being.

The brocade guards tied up the ordinary water bandits, made them all squat down and formed a circle, and around the water bandits, there were nearly a hundred brocade guards with weapons.

Liu Boguang, the leader of the bandits, was taken into a hut and tortured by the Jinyi guards.

In the mountains and wilderness, there was no Jinyiwei's unique torture instrument, so He Tao asked Liu Boguang to be hung up with a rope, and Pailishi beat him with a wooden stick.

Yang Xiaoyu didn't want to see the bloody side, so he led the people to the dock and found a place to rest casually.

Even if they were hundreds of meters away, Liu Boguang's heart-rending howl could still reach his ears, and listening to the wailing, Yang Xiaoyu was not too frightened, and some were just a touch of melancholy.

"Young master, it's windy here, let's go back to the hundred households to rest." Wang Chong blew the cold wind on the river and persuaded in a low voice.

"No, it's good here!" Yang Xiaoyu said without replying.

Now that Liu Boguang has been caught, the rest of the matter has nothing to do with him.

He Tao is not a stupid person, he will definitely torture Liu Boguang to extract a confession, and when Liu Boguang confesses his lair, Jin Yiwei will not only be able to make a fortune, but also get a great credit.

For the things that are coming, Yang Xiaoyu doesn't have much eye heat, although Liu Boguang has been crisscrossing the river for decades, and the gold and silver money he has robbed are countless, but for him, the silver is enough to spend, and there is no need to be greedy so much.

At this time, the darkness before dawn gradually disappeared, and the sky slightly revealed the albumen, and the clouds gathered on the horizon, as if soaked in blood, showing a faint red.

At dawn, the blood left in the river water from last night's fight was slowly washed away by the splash, except for a few faint red flowers on the water surface, it was boundless and clear, and nothing else could be seen.

The howling in the hut continued, and it could be heard from the howl that Liu Boguang was now enduring inhuman torture.

But all this has nothing to do with him.

Yang Xiaoyu instructed the general flag guarding the wharf, let him stay here, and after a while, the guards of the Baihu Office in Youwan will come to take over, so he took someone to say goodbye to He Tao and turned back to the Baihu Office.

A few miles away, in a matter of moments.

At the gate of the hundred households, a group of guards surrounded many merchants and families.

Peng Deming was patrolling, and when he saw Yang Xiaoyu coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to curry favor and said: "See Yang Baihu, congratulations to Baihu for making great contributions to the imperial court." ”

"The capture of the bandits is the credit of the Jinyi Guard, what does it have to do with this official." Yang Xiaoyu replied expressionlessly.

"Yes, yes!" Peng Deming smiled awkwardly and complimented him.

"Tell the guards to let them all go!" Yang Xiaoyu pointed to the merchants in front of the hundred households and commanded.

"Yes, my subordinates will go!" Peng Deming bowed, turned around and stepped forward a few arrows, and shouted: "Hurry up and release the people, hurry up." ”

The guards listened to Peng Deming's words, withdrew a hole from the encirclement, and made way for the merchants who had sat on the ground all night.

The merchants, each with their servants and their servants, and their faces resentful, hurried away.

Zhang Zifeng took people back to the guard station early in the morning, and the guards left behind obeyed Yang Xiaoyu's dispatch.

At this point, it's all done!

It was useless to leave the guards, so Yang Xiaoyu sent the guards away.

Entering the hall of the hundred households, Yang Xiaoyu was in the main position, and Hu Chenghe and Peng Deming stood left and right.

Last night, Peng Deming was supposed to patrol the dock, but Yang Xiaoyu didn't trust this person very much, so he left Peng Deming to guard the merchants in the hundred households.

"Peng Zongqi, you take people down to rest, and by the way, tell Chang Zongqi, let him take his guards to patrol the dock, the checkpoints on the dock can be removed, but the ships must be strictly inspected." Yang Xiaoyu said.

Peng Deming bowed his hand and said, "Subordinates obey!" ”

As soon as Peng Deming left, only Yang Xiaoyu and Hu Chenghe were left in the hall.

"Yang Baihu, I heard the guards say that they caught the bandit Liu Boguang last night, is this true?" Hu Chenghe asked with a look of hope.

There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing, Yang Xiaoyu replied bluntly: "Yes, I did catch Liu Boguang last night." ”

"Congratulations to Yang Baihu for this great achievement!" Hu Chenghe congratulated with a smile.

Yang Xiaoyu just smiled, although it was a great achievement to catch Liu Boguang, he had already given this credit to He Tao, so naturally he had nothing to do with him.

"Let's not mention this matter for the time being, this official has something else to send you to do!"

"Please command, sir!"

Yang Xiaoyu's face was straight, and he said in a low voice: "If the official's expectation is good, the imperial envoy will definitely come to the dock to inspect in the near future, the hundred households are so close to the dock, and the official is worried that the imperial envoy will come to inspect the armaments, so you have to make the account cleaner and send someone to clean up the roads near the hundred households." ”

Even though its rights are not as good as those of the six high-ranking officials, the local officials, from the prefect, have the right to cut first and then play, and their power is not insignificant.

Hu Chenghe is just a small official who does not enter the stream, the largest official in ordinary times, that is, the five products and thousands of households in the Thousand Households, in this Ming Dynasty, where there are many generals, a number of five products and thousands of households, even compared to the county order of a place.

Hu Chenghe was stunned for a moment, and said: "The subordinates will immediately arrange for someone to clean up the road, and as for the accounts of the household, there will be a backup in the morning." ”

The Wei army is full of corruption, and almost every hundred households have a backup of their accounts, Yang Xiaoyu knows this very well, he just doesn't feel at ease, he is afraid of what will be exposed, so he advised.

Since Hu Chenghe had already backed up, he didn't bother to say more, yawned and said: "The official is tired all night, go back to rest first, if there is anything, send someone into the city to report to the official." Then he told Hu Chenghe the address of his residence.

Out of the gate of the hundred households, Yang Xiaoyu took a group of guards to gallop on horseback, and after most of the hour's effort, he had already entered the city! ~

Back at his mansion, Yang Xiaoyu didn't say a word, squinted his eyes and returned to the room, and directly closed his clothes and lay down.

Probably because of a day and a night of sleeplessness, this sleep was very sweet, and when I woke up, the night had already fallen, the sky was full of stars shining a little bit, and the crescent moon hung high in the night sky.

After Yang Xiaoyu woke up, he received a report from the guards, which was news from the Yang Mansion, saying that the imperial envoy was going to Youwan Wharf tomorrow and asked him to prepare for the reception and other matters.

Although the words from the Yang Mansion were so, Yang Xiaoyu understood very well that Yang Yong's original intention was to let him quickly lead someone to search for the evidence of the crime of the imperial envoy, so as to completely drive him out of Zhejiang.

This matter is not very easy to do, the mansion of the imperial envoy can not be searched by anyone, and there must be a reason to search it, Yang Xiaoyu frowned, with a melancholy expression, and he didn't know what to do at the moment!

In terms of his original intentions, the Imperial Envoy had never met him, so he didn't have any deep hatred, and he didn't want to frame the loyal and upright people! It can be the temptation of five products and thousands of black yarn hats. The confusion is too great, if he can make this contribution, he will be promoted to the fifth rank military attache more than a year earlier.

Yang Xiaoyu lacks nothing now, except for lack of time, and with more than a year, it is enough for him to arrange many things!

Originally, capturing Liu Boguang was also a great achievement, but in order to enter Jinyiwei in the future, he gave a great credit to He Tao.
