Chapter 150: The Pier Outside the City
At this time, the bear and leopard lost the momentum of the morning, and buried a black head, with a respectful expression, and there was no anger on his face at all, but the flame of hatred burned in his eyes.
Although Yang Xiaoyu couldn't see the expression of the bear and leopard, he also knew that the bear and the leopard hated him very much in his heart.
"This official allows you to recuperate during the January holiday, go back and hand over the affairs of the hundred households to the deputy hundred households, and after a month, come to the official again, if you can write ten words, the official will let you reinstate the official, otherwise, you will continue to recuperate at home!" Yang Dao.
"Subordinates obey!" Xiong Leopard suddenly heard such a 'good news', his head was buzzing, he thought that he had offended Shangguan, even if he could keep his official position this time, it would be difficult to do anything in the future, but he didn't expect the new Lord Qianhu to give him a chance.
Even if he has a stupid head, he knows that it is not difficult to write ten words a month, and besides, he does not know a word, but he reads a lot of books and can only write some simple words.
Xiong Leopard was in a good mood, arched his hand at Yang Xiaoyu, smiled at the other three hundred households, and strode out.
"Cheng Baihu, Cao Baihu!"
"The subordinates are here."
"The two of you will mobilize people to go out of the city with your official tomorrow, and Zhou Baihu will stay in a thousand households."
"Subordinates obey!"
After Yang Xiaoyu learned some trivial things from the three of them, he sent the three of them down.
When the sun set, Yang Xiaoyu came out of the Thousand Households and got into a carriage to return home.
There was so much news he got today, and he had to sort it out.
Back to the mansion!
Yang Xiaoyu immediately summoned the guards who were sent out yesterday to inquire about the news.
Not to mention, the guards did find some useful information.
The Ren family is a big local household, and Ren Qianhu is a celebrity in Yangzhou City, who understands poetry and is very famous in Yangzhou, and his prestige in Qianhu is much higher than that of Li Ming.
Ren Qianhu has a mother who is nearly seventy years old. There is also a sixteen-year-old daughter.
Ren Qianhu's daughter is named Ren Jiao, and she is engaged to Li Ming's second son.
However, it was not Ren Jiao who married Li Ming's second son. It was Li Ming's second son who joined the Ren family.
According to the news inquired by the guards, Li Ming's second son is not a good bird. Idle all day long, into the gambling house, visit the spring building, and a group of fox friends and dog friends called brothers, rampant in Yangzhou City, often molested good women, beat and scolded the people, engaged in Yangzhou Some people heard the names of these people, frightened to close the door.
And Li Ming himself is not a good thing. Yangzhou is well known, Li Minghao. Lust is undu, at the age of forty, he actually has sixteen concubines, and there are many courtesans at home.
The deputy thousand households of Jinyi Wei Thousand Households are from the five officials, and the monthly salary is only eight taels of silver!
Where did Li Ming get the money to take concubines and raise courtesans?
These are not big problems, after all, the corruption of Jinyiwei is the same as that of the guards, it has long been a trend, and it has been effective from the top to the bottom. Never to be eradicated.
What's even more infuriating is Li Ming. The scum is vicious and abnormal to women!
The people living near Li Ming's mansion revealed that Li Ming once robbed a beautiful woman to return to her house on the street, but the woman refused. was defiled by Li Ming on the street, and the woman was murdered afterwards.
This may sound like an exaggeration, but the guards have inquired about this news from many people's mouths.
Although there are different opinions, it is true that Li Ming robbed the people's women on the street and finally killed the women fiercely, as for whether there was defilement on the street, the people also heard the rumors and did not see it with their own eyes.
Jin Yiwei killed people on the street, which is nothing in Yangzhou City.
The government did not dare to interfere if it wanted to manage it. Moreover, Li Mingfei is an ordinary brocade guard. It is from the deputy thousand households of the fifth grade, and it is too late for the government to hide. How could he be against Li Ming for a trivial matter.
For one night, Yang Xiaoyu slept on the couch and thought about Ren Qianhu and Li Ming.
He didn't fall asleep until late at night!
Following!
Yang Xiaoyu wore a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife on his waist, and came to the Thousand Households.
At this time!
Cheng Yun and Cao Tai gathered the Jinyi lieutenants under their respective commands, and there were about two hundred people, mixed with dozens of wrestlers.
There are nearly thirty good horses raised by thousands of households, Yang Xiaoyu waved his hand and distributed them to the general flag and small flag, and the extra few were thrown at the thousand households.
The captains of the Jinyi Guard were dressed in blue, with black cloaks on their shoulders, gauze hats, and swords hanging from their waists, lined up in four lines, and stood neatly in front of the door of the Thousand Households.
Yang Xiaoyu instructed Chen Yingren: "Let the other guards go back to the house first, and you go out of the city with this official!" ”
"Yes!" Chen Yingren nodded, and then ordered the guards to go back to the house first.
With so many officers and soldiers in Jinyiwei, Yang Xiaoyu's safety does not have to worry.
"Out of town!" Yang Xiaoyu lazily sat in the carriage, took the reins of the horse directly from Cheng Yun's hand, turned over and jumped on the horse's back, and took a group of brocade guards out of the city.
The brocade guards were dispatched, which was extraordinary, and the people on the street saw the brightly clad brocade clothes riding out, and hurriedly dodged the road.
Along the way, Yang Xiaoyu finally understood why Jinyiwei had such a big reputation?
It's not that Jinyiwei makes the people respect, but that the people are afraid of Jinyiwei, to the same extent that a mouse sees a cat.
When passing by the vegetable market, a few stall vendors saw so many brocade guards, so they threw their stalls in fright and ran directly into the alley.
"Lord Qianhe, I don't know where you're going out of the city? Xiaguan is very familiar with the roads near Yangzhou, so it is better to let Xiaguan show you the way! Cao Tai rode a horse and followed behind Yang Xiaoyu, with a flattering face.
"This official is going to check the place where Lord Ren died tragically, since you are familiar with the road, lead the way!"
Yang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, he knew that his subordinates were stammering with him in order to get closer to him, and he just needed to get closer to the officials of the Thousand Households, so he agreed to Cao Tai's words with a smile.
"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely show you a good way!"
Cao Tai sneered, and then rode his horse with a few small flags.
When they arrived at the city gate, the guards guarding the city did not intercept the Jinyi guards.
Yang Xiaoyu and his entourage of more than 200 people rushed out of the city and came to Yangzhou Wharf.
On the way, through Cheng Yun's introduction, Yang Xiaoyu knew that Yangzhou is not a wharf, because of Yangzhou's special geographical location, rivers are the majority, and the waterway can generally lead to Shandong, Anhui, Nanzhili, Luoyang and many other places.
Therefore, there are more than a dozen large and small wharves in Yangzhou!
The river in the place where thousands of households died went straight to the West Water Pass, and this waterway could be taken to Anhui.
Most of the merchants in Yangzhou are from Anhui, therefore, this wharf is a very prosperous wharf, when the merchants return to their hometown, they always like to pack a dozen or so luxury boats, carrying many Jiangnan specialties, in order to show their wealth.
Coming to the edge of the wharf, Yang Xiaoyu turned over and dismounted, and looked at the wharf, there were dozens of boats moored on the river, red lanterns hung on the bow, boats were neatly lined up on the river, and several boat owners stood on the wharf waiting for guests!
However, to their surprise, they did not wait for the guests, but waited for hundreds of brocade guards.
The shipowners trembled with fright and wanted to turn and flee.
"Someone, bring the shipowners!" Yang Xiaoyu thought in his heart that these people made a living by boats, and believed that they should know some things about Ren Qianhu.
The small flags standing on both sides rushed out, and dozens of brocade guards immediately surrounded the boat owners in the middle.
"Come here, my adults have something to ask!" Cao Tai rode on his horse and yelled at the boat bosses.
The boat bosses dragged their trembling bodies, surrounded by Jinyi Tiqi, and slowly walked in front of Yang Xiaoyu.
"Xiaomin has seen adults!" A ship owner dressed in black bent down to Yang Xiaoyu and bowed.
"Don't be afraid, the official is just asking you something!" Yang Xiaoyu swept over the boat owners and said lightly.
Only then did the owner of the group of boats let go of his heart, and the black-clothed boat owner led by him smiled flatteringly: "My lord, you said, Xiaomin and others know everything!" ”
Yang Xiaoyu nodded and asked, "Some time ago, a few people died on the dock, have you heard of this?" ”
"Back to the adult, after that, Xiaomin and several other bosses sent a boss back to his hometown, not on the dock, and when we came back, we knew that there was such a thing!" The shipowner replied without thinking.
"Do you know who died?" Yang Xiaoyu continued to ask.
"When Xiaomin and the others came back, the corpses had already been taken away by the government, so I don't know who it was!" The shipowner replied honestly. (To be continued)
