Chapter 166: Miss Yan'er
Yang Xiaoyu swept over the four hundred households under him, and did not say what he had just said, and said, "Bring the people on the boat here!" ”
Ma Baihu bowed, turned around and commanded the general banner under his command, and the general banner hurriedly ordered the cavalry behind him to escort the people on the boat.
There were nearly a hundred people on the five ships, of which there were more than thirty guards, and the rest were some helmsmen and men.
Yang Xiaoyu swept past a group of people, and his eyes finally stayed on a young man dressed in silk and satin.
The young man was about twenty-three or fourteen years of age, handsome, with red lips and white teeth, and a healthy complexion with a hint of blue.
His face is rich and noble, and the tip of his nose shrinks inward, which shows that this person has a door to collect wealth, and the Fude Palace is full and bright, and he was born in a rich and noble family.
Yang Xiaoyu took a closer look, and had an answer in his heart, and ordered Tiqi to escort the young man up and ask, "Who are you?" ”
"The little one is called Wang Liu!" The young man replied tremblingly.
"When did Young Master Ling change his surname to Wang, why didn't this official know? Could it be that President Ling kicked you out of the house, this is unlikely, but this official remembers that President Ling handed over a lot of properties to you to take care of, could it be that Young Master Ling recognized a father surnamed Wang, and don't want President Ling to be a father? Yang Xiaoyu looked sarcastic and laughed.
When the young man heard that the young official in front of him actually knew him, his legs trembled with fright, and he didn't hear Yang Xiaoyu's words at all, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain is really surnamed Wang!" ”
"Really?"
Yang Xiaoyu looked at the young man like a clown, and ordered to the cavalry next to him: "Break one of his legs first, and then cut off one of his arms!" ”
"Yes!"
The two horsemen stepped forward and lifted the young man like chickens, drew their swords, and made a gesture to cut off the young man's arms and legs.
"No villain's surname is Ling, not surnamed Wang!"
The young man was frightened and hurriedly reported his home.
"Didn't you just have the surname Wang? Why did you change your surname to Ling again? Yang Xiaoyu glanced at the young man in disgust. Wave your hand to get the rider out of the way.
"The villain is afraid that the officials will beat and scold the small, and the little one will lie to the family, and please have a lot of officials and adults, don't be like the small one." The young man's eyes were hurried, and he begged for mercy without words.
When he first crossed over, Yang Xiaoyu felt sympathy for this kind of timid person. It slowly turns into apathy, and finally disgust.
If a young man has a little backbone, he will not speak coldly.
A person who doesn't even dare to admit his surname is inferior to a dog in his eyes, at least the dog still knows its owner.
"The officer asked you, to whom did you sell the grain on your ship?" Yang Xiaoyu took a step back and asked in a cold voice.
"It was sold to Yangzhou merchants!" The young man's eyes rolled and he hurriedly replied.
"Which merchant in Yangzhou to sell. What's the last name? Yang Xiaoyu's face turned gloomy and asked.
"Last name!" The young man's lips squirmed for a long time, and he did not say the merchant's name.
"It's a woman who came to pick up your goods, say her name, otherwise, the official will put you in a sack and throw it into the river to feed the fish!" Yang Xiaoyu turned around impatiently and asked.
"This!"
When the young man heard this, he was so frightened that he could not speak.
"This what, this. If you don't answer honestly, cut off your crotch and feed it to the dogs! Cao Tai stood up at this time and shouted with a fake tiger.
The young man was taken aback by Cao Tai's words. Covering his hands with his hands, he was afraid that Cao Tai would really cut off the root of his life.
"Throw it into the sea and feed the fish!" Yang Xiaoyu turned around and commanded lightly.
"Adults and slow, Xiaguan likes to cleanse people since he was a child, this kid is white and tender, it's a pity to throw it down like this to feed the fish, it's better to let Xiaguan clean him first. Then throw him into the sea and feed him to the fish. Cao Tai stood up and said with a smile.
"The little ones say the little ones, all the little ones!"
The young man was frightened when he heard the inhumane words, and hurriedly said, "It is the Yan'er girl of Linxiang Pavilion who handed over the goods to the little one!" ”
Yan'er girl?
Yang Xiaoyu was puzzled for a moment, then turned around and asked a few hundred households around him: "Who is this Yan'er girl?" ”
"Xia Guan knows that she is the Oiran of Linxiang Pavilion. Long as a fairy! Cao Tai replied with a smile.
What mess? A prostitute. What goods did the woman hand over to the Ling family?
Is it a prostitute. Does a woman have another identity?
Yang Xiaoyu asked the young man below who was sobbing slightly: "Who is Miss Yan'er?" ”
"The little one doesn't know, the little one is only responsible for handing over the food to her, and the others don't know!" The young man shook his head and replied with tears in his eyes.
Yang Xiaoyu waved his hand and asked Tiqi to take this timid man down, he really didn't understand how Chairman Ling, as a first-class wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, could have such a useless son.
"Cheng Baihu, take your people into the city to arrest Yan'er in Linxiang Pavilion, Ma Baihu clean up the corpses on the dock, and the others will go to Hangzhou with this official!" Yang Xiaoyu thought about it for a while, thinking that this was a great opportunity to end the Ling family, and immediately ordered to go down.
The hundreds of households also had no opinions, and they gathered their subordinates to prepare to go to Hangzhou.
From here to Hangzhou by water, it takes only dozens of hours, and it takes six or seven hours to ride a horse and walk the official road.
There are five big boats on the dock, which can carry many horsemen, Yang Xiaoyu thought for a while, and ordered Cheng Tong to take his men to take the boat and take the waterway, and the others followed him on the official road.
However, there are not so many horses on the official road!
At this time, Ma Baihu handed over his hand and reported: "The subordinate Baihu is responsible for patrolling the dock, and there are more than 50 fast horses, which Lord Yang can use for a while." ”
Yang Xiaoyu nodded, so far, it takes time to pull out the horse from the city, and there is just a ready-made one, so he is not welcome.
Zhou Tai instructed one of his generals to lead the cavalry to follow Zhou Baihu on the waterway, and the other cavalry to follow Lord Yang on horseback and take the main road.
By the time Ma Baihu's men brought in the horses, the sun had already begun to set in the west.
Yang Xiaoyu didn't dare to delay, and led a group of more than 50 horsemen to run from the main road.
The official road from Yangzhou to Hangzhou is quite calm, this official road is often passed by the guards, and there are no bandits occupying the mountain as the king, and many merchants who go to Nanzhili also take this road.
Yang Xiaoyu galloped all the way, and the wind was blowing in his ears, which was extremely cool.
However, the speed of the horse was too fast, and many mosquitoes that did not have time to dodge stuck to his face, causing him to wash his face many times along the way.
As the sun sets, dusk falls on the earth, and the sky is dark.
At this time, Yang Xiaoyu and his party were still fifty miles away from Hangzhou, and according to their horse speed, they arrived in Hangzhou two hours later.
When he arrived ten miles outside the city of Hangzhou, Yang Xiaoyu instructed a guard who often followed him to take people to the dock to pick up Zhou Tong's party, so as to avoid the guards and Yangzhou Jinyi Wei from causing trouble, after all, Yangzhou Jinyi Wei crossed the border into Hangzhou first, and the guards defended later, so if there was really a conflict, Jinyi Wei could not take advantage.
Yang Xiaoyu chose to enter the city from the west gate and came to the city, Cao Tai Yuema stood up and shouted to the guards on the city gate: "Listen to the brothers in the city, this official is Yangzhou Jinyi Wei Baihu, come here with my lord on business, quickly open the city gate and let my lord enter the city." ”
Torches were lit on the city, and shadows could be seen swaying back and forth.
Cao Tai's shouting sounded like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no echo at all.
Yang Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing, this is the capital of Zhejiang Prefecture, not Yangzhou City, Hangzhou Jinyi Wei Qianhu Tiqi came out on business, and he didn't dare to shout to the guards like this, after all, the Zhejiang Party has great power in Zhejiang, and the imperial court has always focused on appeasement, and Jinyiwei did not dare to be too arrogant.
"Listen to the people in the city, it is Chen Yingren below, who was ordered to protect the son of Yang Du's commander to return to his house and open the city gate quickly!" Chen Yingren smiled slightly, stood up and shouted.
The guards on the city gate were in a commotion, for them, the Yang family, who had been guarding the coast of Zhejiang for generations, was like a high emperor, a big man who controlled their fate, and they couldn't afford to offend, and a hundred households guarding the city shouted down: "Where did Young Master Yang come from?" ”
"This official came from Yangzhou, and he has something to go back to the house to meet his father!" Yang Xiaoyu replied quietly.
The hundred households guarding the city are not fools, he will not let people into the city casually, just now he said just a test, the people in the guard army all know, and they all command the son of the envoy to go to Yangzhou to serve as the master of the Jinyi Wei Qianhu.
Yang Xiaoyu's answer was quite pertinent, and the hundred households let down their guard and ordered someone to open the city gate. (To be continued......)
