Chapter 46: This is just the beginning

Yuegu scolded Li Wei and the others: "Aren't you going to help?" The three of them were forced to be helpless, so they had to step forward, and all the stick monks were all standing with their eyebrows in a fighting posture, Li Wei asked Weikong: "How does the great monk plan to understand this matter." He replied, "In the sense of brothers." Li Wei pointed to the fat monk who was swollen with swollen eyes: "Let him say a few words." ”

Weikong glared at the fat monk: "Are you deaf?" The fat monk was on fire in his belly, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to bow to the scholar against his will, and said, "The monk has apologized to you." Weikong asked the scholar with a cold face: "Now you should be satisfied." The scholar snorted, but did not answer, snapped his fingers in the air, and went with the monks hatefully.

Seeing that the monks were vulgar and talked a lot, Yuegu asked Li Wei: "Are they real monks or fake monks, how are they similar to strongmen." Li Wei said with a smile: "They were horse bandits before, and they put down their butcher knives and converted to Buddhism when they had nowhere to hide. ”

Yuegu nodded, slightly realized, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Yang Hao leaning against the eaves of the hotel diagonally opposite to look this way, hurriedly waved his hand at him, ran over and asked, "It turns out that you are here, why don't you come to help." Yang Hao smiled: "Aren't I afraid of stealing the limelight of the Moon Lonely Woman's chivalrous righteousness." Yuegu was a little proud when she heard this, and pointed to the scholar and said, "This person's painting is very good, and he is also very backbone, you have to reuse him." ”

Yang Hao beckoned the scholar over and asked, "What's your name?" The scholar asked rhetorically, "Who are you?" ”

Li Wei shouted: "This is Lord Yang, the defense envoy. The scholar was solemn when he heard this, and replied: "The small livelihood is prosperous, the people of Fufeng County, Chang'an, because of the greed of the tax officials, rampant in the township, the small students said a few fair words, offended them, had to live in Feng'an, by selling paintings for a living, because they could not hand over the Buddha's respect, they were beaten by several monks, fortunately the wife helped, only to avoid a bloody disaster, the great grace is not thanked for the future return." ”

Li Wei picked up a torn painting of flowers and birds and showed it to Yang Hao, Yang Hao didn't make a sound after seeing it, but Yuegu praised it: "This bird painting is similar to the real one, this is the best painter I have ever seen." Yang Hao asked Ji Hongtu: "Would you like to come and make a book for me?" Ji Hongtu heard the words: "Thanks to the eyes of adults, Ji Hongtu is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses, but Hongtu is more willing to go to the county to be a small official." ”

Yang Hao smiled: "Why is this, is it insulting to be a bookkeeper for me." ”

Ji Hongtu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Xiaosheng has no such intention, being able to do a book for adults is a good thing that many scholars dream of, but Xiaosheng ......"

Yuegu asked, "Are you afraid that you won't be able to do it well?" ”

Ji Hongtu thought for a while and replied: "Mrs. Rongyu, Xiaosheng's family has been a farmer for generations, and he is used to seeing corrupt officials and evil officials oppressing the good people. ”

Yang Hao nodded approvingly: "What you said is very good, so let's go to Feng'an County to be the municipal envoy and do some practical things for the merchants here." Ji Hongtu was stunned when he heard this, and carefully reminded: "My lord, the merchants here are under the management of Fuguang Temple, and the government has no right to intervene. Yang Hao said with a smile: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's ministers, the people of the Tang Dynasty should pay taxes to the imperial court, there was no tax before, because there was no municipal envoy, and now there is a municipal envoy, so naturally this matter should be managed." ”

Ji Hongtu was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed his head and said: "Xiaosheng will not disgrace his mission." ”

Yang Hao sneered and said, "The backstage of Fuguang Temple is very hard, are you sure to gnaw it down." ”

Ji Hongtu said angrily: "As long as you hold a heart of loyalty to the court and the adults, don't say that Fuguang Temple is a copper-walled and iron-walled temple, and the lower officials will gnaw it to pieces." ”

Yang Hao praised "good", but changed his words and said: "But you have to remember that Feng'an has been war-torn and people's livelihood is in trouble, so you must not increase the tax burden of merchants, otherwise you will be derelict in your duties." ”

Ji Hongtu was stunned for a while when he heard this, but Li Wei and the others had secretly laughed, originally they thought that Yang Hao wanted to set up a tax office here to collect taxes from merchants, in that way, although Fuguang Temple was unhappy, most of them would not object, after all, the wool came out of the sheep, and there was no need to pull a single hair from the monks,

The three of them were really jealous that Ji Hongtu had taken a shit luck, and he got a big fat shortage for no reason, who knew that Yang Hao's words turned around, and he suddenly forced Ji Hongtu into a dead end, and wanted to take back the taxing right from Fuguang Temple, which was tantamount to snatching food from the tiger's mouth, Mo said that he was a rootless and baseless Ji Hongtu, that is, Zhu Xiaonan, the big celebrity around Yang Hao, was also disgraced and returned home.

The three of them secretly admired Yang Hao's clever methods, which not only did not hurt the face of his newlywed wife, but also made Ji Hongtu retreat in the face of difficulties, and the three of them wanted to see Ji Hongtu's jokes, but after Ji Hongtu was stunned for a while, he said confidently: "My lord, please rest assured, the next official will not disgrace his mission, and there will be good news within a month." ”

Yuegu didn't know how big an official the municipal envoy was, but looking at Ji Hongtu's excited face, she guessed that he should be a big official, and he was accepted for the first time when he recommended talents, and she was naturally excited in her heart, and she told Ji Hongtu: "You have to be a good official and do more good things for the people, otherwise I will teach you a lesson like a monk." ”

Ji Hongtu replied respectfully: "Madame's lesson, Xiaosheng should keep it in mind, and he will die with all his might." ”

At this time, the red sun fell in the west, and there were bursts of bells in the Fuguang Temple, in March of this year, Yang Hao postponed the curfew time in the city for an hour, the night market was lively before and after dusk, and the moon was playing on the head, where would he go, Yang Hao was accompanying her to visit the night market, and suddenly saw Zhu Qi coming from Pegasus, followed by Zhang Lang,

Zhu Qi's current position is the lieutenant of the Agni Battalion, nominally Yu Yanlu's deputy, but the two sentinels he commands are not in the official sequence of the Agni Battalion, in fact, he is only responsible to Yang Hao, and his two sentinels are stationed outside the back door of the Defense Embassy, serving as the guards of Yang Hao and the military and political chiefs of Fengzhou, Zhang Lang and Li Wei are his direct subordinates,

After Yuegu had an argument with several monks in Fuguang Temple, Yang Hao felt that it was inconvenient for him to come forward, so he asked Zhang Lang to go back and call Zhu Qi's deputy Yang Kai to deal with it, Yang Kai has been in Feng'an for several months, and the title is very big: Fengzhou soldiers and horses, in fact, there are no soldiers and no horses, and he assists Zhu Qi in patrolling the defense embassy on weekdays, Yang Hao saw Zhu Qi at the beginning, and thought that Zhang Lang called him, but when he saw the redness on Zhu Qi's face and the anxiety in his eyes, he knew that he was mistaken, with Zhu Qi's heaviness and change, will never make such a big move for a few monks of Fuguang Temple,

"My lord, Dongyu was attacked outside the mansion and was seriously injured...... Zhu Qi said this, glanced at Yuegu, swallowed the second half of the sentence back, and then whispered in Yang Hao's ear,

Yang Hao's face changed suddenly when he heard this, he hurriedly flew on his horse, bent down and said to Yuegu: "I have to go back in advance, and you should also go back to the house early." Yuegu didn't ask much, and Zhu Qi instructed Zhang Lang and Li Wei: "You should accompany your wife to the night market, if something happens, you will have your head." ”

After everyone left, Li Wei touched Zhang Lang with his elbow: "What's wrong, the general is so out of shape." Zhang Lang said: "Something big happened, General Yang Kai let people kill him." ”

Yang Kai had people killed in an alley outside the back door of the Defense Embassy,

Dong Yushen went to the ready-to-wear shop opposite the Fengzhou Economics Hall to get clothes for Yue Gu, and when she came back, it was already the end of the unitary time, she was afraid that she would be scolded by Qing'er if she went back late, so she copied and walked down an alley where few people walked, and found Yang Kai who had his throat cut out.

Dongyu was so frightened that he screamed all the way back and ran back, and when he was about to reach the entrance of the alley, he was suddenly tripped by a masked man's outstretched leg, and then the man strangled Dongyu's neck with a straw rope.

Dong Yu is not a soldier, and this kind of murder case is usually handed over to the Feng'an County Ya to deal with, and the students also reported the case to the Feng'an County Ya, but when Dong Yu told the county Ya that Yang Kai was also killed in the alley, the county Ya's fast catchers no longer dared to touch the case, they blocked the alley, and found Zhu Qi to hand over the case to him.

Dongyu was placed in a quiet courtyard at this time, Zhu Qi arranged a team of guards to protect it closely, Yang Hao stood outside the window and looked at Dongyu who was restless and emotionally uncontrollable in the room for a while, and then walked to the morgue, pretending to be an autopsy, Yang Kai's body was naked, because of excessive blood loss, his skin was white, looking at the pale and handsome face, Yang Hao's heart ached,

"It is preliminarily judged that the deceased was cut at the end of the Shen period, and then died of excessive blood loss, there was only one cut on the throat on the whole body, the wound was very smooth, the murder weapon should be a weapon such as a thin-bladed sword, the deceased's hand and leg bones were broken, and four ribs were broken, and the deceased was tortured before his death."

"He who breaks the bones of his hands and legs, whether he uses a weapon or a fist or a kick." Yang Hao asked,

"It's fists and feet, the murderer's martial arts are very high, if you punch, the hand bones will be broken, and if you kick them, the leg bones will be broken." While gesturing, Zhu Qi glared at him fiercely, but he didn't care,

"Go and see it." After Yang Hao finished speaking, he walked out,

"Your Excellency." Zhu Qi suddenly stopped him behind him, and seeing that Zhu Qi wanted to speak and stopped, he took his apprentice out with interest.

"Yang Kai was moved to the alley, we searched all the places within a mile around, and finally found blood stains and General Yang Kai's shoe prints in the Yueji Cong in the back garden, and also found this." Zhu Qi took out a jade earring, Yang Hao put the jade earring in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully several times, and suddenly held it in the palm of his hand, obviously he recognized the owner of this jade earring, "The humble position has already sent someone to keep an eye on him." Zhu Qi said calmly, for some reason, after saying the last word, the muscles on his face suddenly trembled twice, looking very weird,

"Don't alarm him yet." Yang Hao exhaled slowly, picked up the jade pendant and looked at it again, "Go and judge the winter rain." ”
