lost a lot of credit, if you can't grasp this credit again, it will be really a bamboo basket for nothing!

Yang Xiaoyu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the faint light of the flame on the tip of the candle, and his thoughts were like a continuous fountain, passing through the deepest part of his mind.

At this time, it was almost midnight, and through the window, you could clearly see the crescent moon high above, emitting a feminine light, slowly moving in the night sky.

"Young master, the slave serves you to rest in peace, right?" In the corner of the side of the bed curtain, Chunxia said softly with a shy face.

"You go back and rest first!" Yang Xiaoyu said a word expressionlessly, and then his eyes entered the void, and his expression was dull, as if he was thinking about something.

Chunxia looked aggrieved, she just wanted to serve the young master to sleep, and had no other ideas, who knew that the young master was so unkind. In the past, the young master always liked to joke with her, and sometimes took her to play, but now the young master doesn't even say a few words to her every day except for eating and sleeping.

Could it be that she is not pretty? Or does the young master have a crush and is not interested in her?

Chunxia's eyes are slightly red, and a pair of teary eyes are plain and white, adding a bit of softness.

Yang Xiaoyu waved his hand outward, signaling Chunxia to go down.

"Slave and maid retire!" Chunxia pouted, looking unhappy, wiped away the tears that were about to gush out with her sleeve, and trotted out.

The future is in front of him, and the opportunity is gone in the blink of an eye, Yang Xiaoyu is not in the mood to fall in love with the little girl, which is not only a waste of time, but also a loss of life. Therefore, he can only pretend to be deaf to the little girl's affection.

After Chunxia left, Yang Xiaoyu lay down on the couch and stared at the dim roof with both eyes.

Two days.

The breeze blew, the flowers were scented everywhere, and the sun slowly rose from the east, and the golden red light gradually covered the earth.

Yang Xiaoyu summoned Wang Chong early in the morning, ordered him to prepare the carriage, and hurried out of the city with the guards.

When he came to the edge of the dock, Yang Xiaoyu saw the guards gathered in twos and threes, talking and laughing loudly.

"See Lord Hyakho!" Chang Danian smiled and came to visit.

Yang Xiaoyu asked solemnly: "Don't you know that Lord Wang, the Imperial Envoy of the Supervision, came to inspect the dock today?" ”

"My subordinates have heard Mr. Hu talk about it!" Chang Danian was embarrassed, how could he forget this stubble, Shan replied with a smile.

"You go and integrate the guards and let them patrol carefully, who dares to say another word of nonsense, don't blame this official for being ruthless." Yang Xiaoyu frowned and shouted coldly.

"It's going down here!" Chang Danian saw Yang Xiaoyu angry, and hurriedly responded.

"Brothers, the imperial envoy is coming to inspect today, and you must not be presumptuous, and you are not allowed to make noise, otherwise, the military law will be ruthless." Chang Danian turned around and shouted at the guards on the dock.

The guards, who had been talking to each other in twos and threes, immediately returned to each other and patrolled the wharf after hearing Chang Danian's words.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaoyu nodded secretly, the guards were loosely disciplined and their combat power was low, Chang Danian could stand up and shout, so that these soldiers were quiet as usual, which showed that this person had a set of leading soldiers.

Today, there are no ships moored on the wharf, and the turquoise river is boundless, and the river surface is covered with layers of mist, and from a distance, it looks like you are in the fairy clouds.

From morning to noon, Yang Xiaoyu stayed on the dock to greet the upcoming envoy.

It wasn't until the sun swept overhead and went down to the west that a group of people gradually walked on the official road.

The sergeant at the head held two signs, the two behind him struck the gong, followed by eight sergeants with swords, and then a carriage with two horsemen on the left and right of the carriage, followed by more than twenty sergeants.

Yang Xiaoyu stood on the dock, saw two vermilion plaques from a distance, heard the sound of banging the gong to open the way, and knew that it was the supervision of the imperial envoy Wang Zhengxiang arrived, and hurriedly ordered the guards under his command to stand on both sides, and personally led Chang Danian and Wang Chong and others to greet each other.

The supervising envoy is a seven-grade civil official, and Yang Xiaoyu is a seven-grade military attaché, which is supposed to be an official at the same level, but all dynasties and generations are literati who rule the country, and the warriors fight the country, in this seemingly peaceful and prosperous era, the civil official is much higher than the military attache at the same level, and besides, the supervision envoy is ordered to patrol and hunt, and the officials of all prefectures and counties must obey his command.

Yang Xiaoyu knew that literati were all stinky and paid attention to etiquette, so when Wang Zhengxiang's carriage came slowly, he had already bent down slightly.

The carriage stopped 10 meters in front of Yang Xiaoyu and the others, and a middle-aged man nearly 40 years old, dressed in a blue official uniform, wearing a jade belt around his waist, wearing a black veil on his head, and white flute boots on his feet, stepped out of the car.

There is no need to guess, Yang Xiaoyu knows that this person is the supervising envoy Wang Zhengxiang!

"Xiaguan Yang Xiaoyu has seen the imperial envoy!" Yang Xiaoyu's eyes were facing down, his head was slightly lowered, and he bowed loudly.

"Excuse me!" Wang Zhengxiang hurried over and said in a majestic voice.

Yang Xiaoyu raised his head and looked at Wang Zhengxiang who was coming towards him, this person had a slightly yellow complexion, a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a beard on his chin.

"Jin Yiwei caught Liu Boguang here?" Wang Zhengxiang came to Yang Xiaoyu and glanced at the young man in front of him, his expression was slightly surprised, but he returned to normal in an instant, and asked.

"If you go back to your lordship, this is the place!" Yang Xiaoyu bowed and replied.

Wang Zhengxiang nodded slightly, glanced at the dock, and strode away, Yang Xiaoyu and the others followed behind him and came to the edge of the dock together.

The breeze was blowing in his face, indescribably comfortable, Wang Zhengxiang stood on the edge of the wharf, felt the oncoming breeze, and asked in a deep voice: "How many guards are stationed at the wharf?" ”

"Returning to my lordship, there are fifty-two people stationed on the dock during the day and fifty-two at night!" Yang Xiaoyu replied.

"Yes!" Wang Zhengxiang replied and said, "Have you found out that merchant ships are smuggling?" ”

Yang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly in his heart, half of the ships that depart from here every day are smuggling boats, and the merchants behind these private boats have a good relationship with several yamen in Zhejiang, and the guards stationed at the wharf are at most a foil, and they can't control the smuggling ships at all.

"The merchant ships sailing out of the Youwan Wharf have the road guidance and vouchers issued by the Caoyun Yamen, and no smuggling merchant ships have been found." Yang Xiaoyu replied quietly.

Wang Zhengxiang nodded with satisfaction, although there are some corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Zhejiang, the rule of officials in most places is still relatively clear, and there are no smuggling boats on the wharf, which means that the taxes paid by Zhejiang to the imperial court will be increased by one or two percent this year.

Wang Zhengxiang said: "This is the best, once the smuggling vessel is found, you will immediately seize the ship and report the matter to the political envoy; Zhejiang will never allow the smuggling of merchant ships to happen, and the official will come to inspect the ships at the dock at any time, and you must be loyal to the imperial court and be honest on errands. ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the lower officials and others are loyal to the imperial court and will definitely strictly guard the dock." Yang Xiaoyu took a step forward and swore an oath.

"What's your name?" After listening to Yang Xiaoyu's words, Wang Zhengxiang turned around and asked.

Yang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly in his heart, he had already reported his name before, but this imperial envoy didn't pay attention to it at all! Also, he is a small hundred households, speaking of which is a seven-grade military attaché, but the seven-grade military attache of the Ming Dynasty does not know how many people, Wang Zhengxiang is the imperial envoy of Jiangnan Province, and he deals with some local high-ranking officials every day, where will he remember his name as a small person.

In desperation, Yang Xiaoyu could only reply: "Xiaguan Yang Xiaoyu!" ”

"How many years have you inherited a hundred households?" Wang Zhengxiang nodded, wrote down Yang Xiaoyu's name and asked.
