Chapter 186: The Courage of the Local Tyrant

Tang Yi's days in Hangzhou were quite busy, in the morning he continued to be his master, accompanying Hu Zongxian to familiarize himself with government affairs as soon as possible, and in the afternoon, he was building relationships with local gentry and wealthy businessmen, setting up friendships, discussing how to make a fortune, how to expand the business of canal ticket numbers, and how to train Xiangyong......

Sometimes at night, Tang Yi has to go in and out of some literary meetings, of course, he does not go to recite poetry to oppose it, but to look for an organization-Xinxue disciple.

Tang Yi successively visited Wang Xue's influential figures in central Zhejiang, and also met Wang Ji, the big man who held the bull's ear, and praised Wang Yi very much for Xiang Yong's proposal, and he promised Tang Yi that when the next Xinxue people gathered, another big man Qian Dehong would also come, and everyone would give priority to discussing Xiang Yong's affairs, and Wang Yi also patted his chest and assured that the possibility of agreeing was extremely high.

Xinxue's influence in Zhejiang is extremely great, and behind them stand thousands of local gentry and merchants, as long as they agree to support it, Xiang Yong's plan will become half.

In addition, Tang Yi also had a thorough understanding of Zhejiang's officialdom, Wang Chen, as the governor, naturally holds the greatest authority, but Zhejiang's governor Zheng Yongchang, political envoys, and inspectors, these people are all strict parties, or close to Yan Song, and they are not less in secret with Wang Chenming.

The prefect of Hangzhou is called Ma Ningyuan, originally a county order in Gansu, because he was willing to do things, he was exceptionally promoted, and he rose all the way to the position of the prefect, this person has no partisan color, the only advantage is that he is obedient, as long as he goes to the top to explain, no matter how difficult it is, he will try his best to do it, not to complain about hardship or tiredness, and he is Wang Chen's best assistant. In addition, the Tongzhi of Hangzhou Mansion is the original patrol Yu Shi Lu Youheng, this person is a typical Qingliu, and he is just and upright, but he is also scary and very difficult to deal with.

Then there is Liu Tao, the military officer of Hangjiahu, who also has some friendship with the father and son of the Tang family. After Dad arrived in Zhejiang. It is under the jurisdiction of Shaoxing, Ningbo, Taizhou and other places, and Liu Tao is exactly two parts of Zhejiang.

It seems that although the situation is complicated, there are a lot of cards available, and after Daddy arrives, there will not be much trouble.

After running for more than ten days in a row, I saw that everything had an eyebrow. Tang Yi also relaxed.

As the saying goes, that's all there is to keep warm...... Tang Yi couldn't help but think of Miss Wang, who went south from the capital, and didn't have time to go back to Taicang to take a look, so he ran to Zhejiang, and could only talk to the little girl by letter. Most of the women in this era are too simple, especially pure girls like Wang Yueying, once they are in love. It's like a flood that bursts its banks, out of control......

In order not to make the little girl wait, Tang Yi decided to have a showdown, with his and his father's identity, he was worthy of the Wang family, so he didn't believe that Wang Xin didn't nod!

Tang Yi took Shen Lin, prepared a few gifts, and rushed to the governor's mansion happily. Before he could enter, he saw a man riding a horse galloping from a distance. When he arrived at the gate of the governor's palace, he fell directly to the ground when he dismounted, and with difficulty he got up, so he rushed into the door.

After taking a few steps, he threw himself down the steps, muttering in his mouth, "Total." Your Excellency the Governor, there is, dangerous! ”

The guards guarding the gate hurriedly ran over, picked him up, and ran inside.

What the! Tang Yi saw it. Suddenly feeling bad, he hurriedly rushed forward.

"Stop, what are you doing? Dare to break into the governor's yamen! The soldiers guarding the gate stopped him at once.

Tang Yi said anxiously: "I am your governor's nephew, I want to go in." ”

"Phew, don't recognize relatives indiscriminately, the governor is not here, don't hurry up!"

Tang Yi was so angry that his nose was crooked, these gatekeepers were all virtuous, and they looked down on people with dog eyes. Just as he was anxiously turning around, Hu Zongxian flew over in a hurry, and when he saw Tang Yi, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled him inside.

"Sir, it's not good, come in with me."

Since that night, the gatekeeper has known Hu Zongxian, and he didn't even dare to let out a fart, so he let him in directly.

Coming to the main hall, several officials had gathered, sitting in the middle in his early fifties, with a goatee, it was the governor Zheng Yongchang, and next to him sat Ma Ningyuan, the prefect of Hangzhou, and others, everyone was full of sadness.

Hu Zongxian strode in, and everyone's eyes fell on him. Zheng Yongchang barely squeezed out a smile and said: "Master Hu is finally here, as the saying goes, those who can work harder, I'm afraid I'm going to bother you." ”

Hu Zongxian was noncommittal, sat on the last chair, pressed his thighs with both hands, and asked, "Lord Zhongcheng, what is going on, please give me advice?" ”

"Alas, a few days ago, the Governor Wang arranged men and horses to attack the nests of the Japanese at sea, and he succeeded in a battle and wiped out hundreds of Japanese Invaders. The news of the victory just came, and we all rushed over. But who knows, there is a gang of Japanese robbers who suddenly attacked Zhenhai, where the governor was temporarily stationed, and now the life and death of the lord are unknown......"

"Lord Zhongcheng!" Hu Zongxian suddenly stood up and roared angrily: "The Governor is a feudal official ordered by the imperial court, if something goes wrong with him, none of us will want to keep the head on our necks." Why are you still so peaceful, don't you know the importance of saving people? ”

Zheng Yongchang's old face was flushed, he was at a loss, and he sighed for a while, "Master Hu, don't be impatient, it's not that we don't want to help, but in Hangzhou City, there is not a single available general, do you want us to go out of the city and send us to death?" ”

"Joke, the huge city of Hangzhou, why is there no soldiers? Aren't wolf soldiers human? They were three or five thousand, and they were stationed outside the city! ”

As soon as he mentioned the wolf soldiers, everyone's faces changed suddenly, and suddenly a person turned out from behind the screen, it was He Maocai, who was the envoy He Maocai, he covered his head with one hand, and covered his cheeks with the other, and took his hands away suddenly, only to see that there was an egg-sized bag on the head door, red and swollen and tall, and there was a big slap mark on the cheeks, which was hideous and scary, and his lips were swollen, he spat bloody spit, and scolded angrily: "Those guys are savages at all, and they don't obey discipline, so the officer personally went to the barracks and asked them to send troops." Well, instead of obeying the order, they also started beating me, and the official will definitely go to the book and join them. ”

Zheng Yongchang looked bitter and said: "Lord Hu, it's not that the official doesn't want to save the governor, it's really that the official is helpless, and I ask Lord Hu to forgive me." ”

Hu Zongxian was in the middle of the lawsuit, suppressed his anger, and asked: "Lord He, there must be a reason why the wolf soldiers beat you, can you talk about it?" ”

"Hmph, what else can I do, I want money! That Peng Yinan said that the last time they fought and made meritorious contributions, the court did not give a reward, and they were almost hungry, this time let them send troops, and first take 100,000 taels of silver. The official said no, and they started to do it, my lord, is there any royal law left! ”

Zheng Yongchang also nodded frequently, followed the bitter gourd, and sighed: "Don't say 100,000 taels, we can't even take 50,000 taels, seeing that the governor is in trouble, we are anxious, but what can we do!" Master Hu, you were able to appease the wolf soldiers last time, and this time there is a way, we all rely on you. ”

Hu Zongxian's cheeks were feverish, he could appease the wolf soldiers, or rely on Tang Yi to help get the silver, by the way, maybe Tang Yi could think of a way...... He turned his head suddenly, only to find that Tang Yi was gone......

On the bluestone road, a horse galloped, and Tang Yi rushed out of the city at the fastest speed. He really didn't want to see the shameless faces of Zheng Yongchang's people, when he was greedy for silver, he would race two at a time, and if he really let them work, he would push two or six five, for fear of taking a little responsibility, Tang Yi didn't believe that the huge Hangzhou City couldn't get 100,000 taels of silver, to put it bluntly, no one dared to bear the charge of rescuing the unfavorable, and as a result, he could only watch Wang Chen in danger. I really can't think of any words to describe them other than shamelessness and rice buckets.

There was only one thought left in Tang Yi's mind, that is, Wang Chen must not be allowed to have an accident! "Father-in-law, father-in-law, you have to hold on, I can't wait three years!" Tang Yi thought shamelessly.

Rushed to the gate of the wolf soldier's camp, flew off his horse, and rushed directly inside.

"Who are you?" The guards on both sides stretched out their weapons to stop them.

Tang Yi let out a sigh of relief and roared angrily: "Get out of the way, I'm sending you money, and you are also stopping the God of Wealth?" ”

The soldiers were stunned, they had never seen such a horizontal one, someone hurriedly ran in, and after a while, Peng Yinan walked out of it, and when he saw Tang Yi, he frowned.

"Aren't you Master Hu's master?"

"Peng Touren has good eyesight!" Tang Yi calmed down for a moment and said, "Peng Touren, for the sake of Lord Hu's face, you should invite me in!" ”

"No problem." Peng Yinan's face was still not good, but he said lightly: "I didn't stop it, the Tujia family has always been interesting enough to treat friends!" ”

The implication is that if you're not a friend, then you can just talk about it.

Striding and walking to the barracks, Tang Yi sat down, and a soldier brought a cup of white water, obviously the salary was not high, and even the famous Tujia oil tea soup was not delivered.

Tang Yi didn't bother to care about this, he took out a small book from his arms, took out a brush, and took out a special silver box, after opening it, there was special ink inside.

Stained with ink, Tang Yi brushed a little bit, signed three sheets in a row on the small book, ripped them off, and sent them to Peng Yinan. Peng Yinan didn't understand what he meant, and looked at it dumbfounded.

"These are three silver tickets, 50,000 taels each, a total of 150,000 taels, as long as the Pengtou people send troops to rescue Lord Wang, after the matter is completed, I will give you another 150,000 taels."

150,000 taels, plus 150,000, isn't that 300,000 taels!

Peng Yinan is stupid now, 300,000 taels, enough for their military salary for a year, which is three times what he asked for from He Maocai! What kind of person is this kid, why is he so generous as soon as he makes a move?

Suddenly, Peng Yinan slapped his face and scolded angrily: "Little thief, are you a fool when we are?" ”

"What did Peng Touren say?"

"Just three pieces of paper, just say it's 150,000 taels, why don't you say it's 300,000 taels, 1 million taels?"

Tang Yi smiled, "It's not that I can't afford it, but you guys aren't worth so much money!" ”

"You!" Peng Yinan was about to have a seizure, at this time an old man walked in from outside, the person who came was Peng Yinan's father Peng Mingfu, the old man walked to the table in a few steps, grabbed the silver ticket and looked at it, and suddenly said loudly: "Come on, take the silver ticket to exchange the silver, if you can redeem the silver, the old man will work hard for the son, if you can't redeem it, hehe, our Tujia family has its own way to punish it!" ”

Tang Yi knocked on Erlang's leg, smiled nonchalantly: "Please also ask the two leaders to transfer troops immediately, don't delay your efforts!" (To be continued.) )
