All the way to peace and quiet, Yang Xiaoyu rode a horse and chatted with Chen Yingren: "My father inherited the ancestral business, has he ever fought?" ”

"In the early years, the commander started from a thousand households, and rarely led troops to fight, but the water bandits in Zhejiang were exterminated by the commander and the army." Chen Yingren replied with a vague understanding.

The ancestor of the Yang family is Yang Shu, the Marquis of Jinghai, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, and the Hongwu Emperor in recognition of Yang Shu's contribution to the sea area of Jingqing Dynasty, specially named Yang Shu's second son as the commander of Zhejiang, and the official position has been inherited from generation to generation.

There is so much information in Yang Xiaoyu's mind, he only knows that his father Yang Yong is eighteen years old as a thousand households, twenty-six years old Wei commander, and later served as the governor of Zhejiang Metropolitan Division, and later his grandfather died, Yang Yong inherited the official position of commander of the metropolitan division.

As for whether there are other officials in the Yang family, Yang Xiaoyu doesn't know, he only knows that there are many people in the Yang family who are officials in various places in the Ming Dynasty, but he still doesn't know who they are, because his predecessor didn't care about the affairs of officialdom, and there was only so much information left for him.

Walking is undoubtedly the most boring, Yang Xiaoyu thinks about the Yang family for a while, and thinks about who his future daughter-in-law is, and the day passes in a hurry.

At night, the guards who were hurrying in front had already arranged a place for Yang Xiaoyu and them to live.

The things loaded in the carriage should not be seen by others, so Yang Xiaoyu and they lived in a private house in the town.

Hangzhou is more than 500 miles away from Yanzhou, and it takes more than three days to arrive based on their daily journey of more than 100 miles.

Rest for the night and continue on the road the next day.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, the officials were strict, but in the middle and late stages, nine out of ten officials were greedy, and those who were generals were ten out of ten greedy.

Yang Xiaoyu passed through various places along the way, and what he saw was not the gentry in Hangzhou who were dressed in brocade and silk, magnificent, and wealthy, but the people with torn clothes, yellow faces, and hunger.

When he lamented the ** of the Ming Dynasty, he also sighed that his father was really a talent, and there was countless money in the house, but he still had to deduct military salaries and loot the people's fat and ointment, didn't he know? No matter how much money there is, it can't be taken underground, and if you loot less, you can let countless military families eat and drink without worry.

However, Yang Xiaoyu only sighed in his heart, and did not say it to Chen Yingren!

He is now more and more curious about how much Yang Yong's family wealth has, counting from the ancestors of the Yang family, their lineage has guarded Zhejiang for the Ming Dynasty for generations, and Zhejiang is the most prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, handed down in the tenth generation, I don't know how much can be looted?

No wonder Yang Yong and Mrs. Fang didn't feel distressed at all when they gave him two pieces of silver, it seems that the Yang family has countless family wealth, and the little money he spent may not even be a dime!

In the afternoon, Yang Xiaoyu and his entourage walked to a dilapidated village, and Chen Yingren said: "Young master, there is an inn in front, let's rest there today." ”

In the wilderness, there can be an inn to hide, which is considered a favor from God, Yang Xiaoyu rode a horse for a day, tired enough, and said: "Listen to you, just rest in front." ”

After walking for more than half a mile, a wooden attic appeared in front of Yang Xiaoyu's eyes, with a long pole inserted on the side, and a fast cloth fell on the pole, on which was written a very eye-catching word "guest".

The attic looks old, and you can see from afar that the wooden planks on it are black, and the roof of the attic is covered with hay to prevent raindrops from falling into the house when it rains.

"Young master, let's stop tonight, and stay in the town in front tomorrow." Chen Yingren was worried that Yang Xiaoyu would not be able to stand the sourness of the inn, so he persuaded him.

Yang Xiaoyu is not so particular, he is satisfied to have a place to live, and said with a smile: "It's okay, when you go out, you don't pay so much attention to it." ”

The group approached the inn, Chen Yingren got off the horse and went in to arrange food and accommodation, and Yang Xiaoyu stayed on the horse and looked around boredly.

At the side door, Yang Xiaoyu saw five good horses, these horses are not like southern horses, they are like northern war horses, all of them are wide in size, much taller than southern horses, the hair on the horse's legs is pure and unmixed, and the horse's tail is about to be dragged to the ground, and it is a good horse at a glance.

Such a good horse, he had seen it in the stable of Yangfu, and he heard Yang Yong say that it was sent by a colleague of his in Liaodong.

In the wilderness, there are people who ride such good horses, and they are very human at first glance, either famous people on the rivers and lakes, or high-ranking officials and nobles of the imperial court.

Chen Yingren went in for a long time, and when he came out, he said embarrassedly: "Young master, this inn has been chartered by outsiders, let's go to the front and have a look." ”

Yang Xiaoyu doesn't care, he can live anywhere, but he likes those good horses very much.

Pointing to the horse on the side door, Yang Xiaoyu said in a low voice: "Manager Chen, look at the horse inside, is it much better than the horse we ride?" ”

Chen Yingren turned around and saw that it was indeed a good horse, but no matter how good it was, it was someone else's, and said: "It's a good horse, but it's a pity it's not ours." ”

"What's this, you send someone in and bring out two horses, and give us a change of foot strength." Yang Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"Young master, isn't this okay?" Chen Yingren was a little unhappy, no matter how he said it, he was also the number one person, stealing people's mounts for no reason, wouldn't it be too inferior.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just two mounts, anyway they have five horses, we take two away, they still have three horses to ride, they won't let them walk." Yang Xiaoyu reasoned to Chen Yingren, as if stealing two horses was a trivial matter.

Chen Yingren is really helpless, this young master of his own family is really addicted to stealing, he stole the artillery of the treasury last night, and he wants to steal other people's horses today, if he goes on like this, won't he steal other people's daughters-in-law!

"Manager Chen, send someone to pull the two horses out, and I'll take the carriage first." Yang Xiaoyu didn't give Chen Yingren a chance to refute at all, and after speaking, he led a group of guards to continue to move forward.

Chen Yingren really wants to cry without tears at the moment, do you want him to really steal two horses?

If you can't steal it, maybe the young master will steal something at the next stop?

Chen Yingren cheered himself up, anyway, it was just two horses, and it was a big deal to throw ten taels of silver into the manger, which he paid for it.

Thinking about it like this, Chen Yingren found a fig leaf for himself, touched ten taels of silver from his arms, and strode along the side door.

In the wilderness, the shopkeeper would not have thought of the idea of someone beating the horses, so he did not close the door, Chen Yingren walked to the horse stake, untied the reins of the two horses, threw ten taels of silver into the manger, and pulled the two horses out quickly.

Hiss~~Hiss!

Chirp~~ Chirp!

The neighing of the two horses at the same time immediately startled the people in the inn.

The shopkeeper ran to the back to take a look, and saw that the person who was going to stay in the store had come to steal the horse, and shouted loudly: "Come on, someone steals the horse, come on, catch the horse thief." ”

Chen Yingren's face was flushed, this horse was too uncompetitive, and he roared whatever he wanted.

Without much thought, Chen Yingren turned over and jumped on the horse, pulled another horse and rushed out of the side door and galloped away.

The shopkeeper chased him out and shouted, "Catch the thief, come and catch the thief." ”

Several people staying in the hotel were startled by the roar, and when they saw someone fleeing on their horses, they hurriedly went to the side yard to untie the reins of their horses and mounted their horses in pursuit.

Yang Xiaoyu led a group of guards, escorted four carriages, walked slowly, heard the sound of horses' hooves running behind him, turned around and looked, and saw Chen Yingren riding a horse, leading a horse, and was riding a horse to catch up with him.

After a while, Yang Xiaoyu saw three fast horses chasing Chen Yingren.

It's not good, it seems that Chen Yingren was discovered, and the owner of the horse caught up, what can I do? Although there are many of them, Danli is not on their side, and if it is reasonable, they must be the ones who suffer.
