When Yang Qiuchi and his party arrived in Enyang Town, it was already dark. However, both sides of the street are still brightly lit.

Song Yun'er and Hong Aya both fell asleep halfway through, and after the carriage stopped, Hong Aya woke up first: "Have you arrived?" ”

Yang Qiuchi deliberately looked at her with Yindang's eyes, and twisted it on her face: "Little beauty, you know how to sleep!" We're here. ”

Hong Aya's face flushed, and she said in a low voice, "Master, Miss Song is here." ”

"I'm not here, you two can flirt and scold." Song Yun'er curled up and said with her eyes closed.

Yang Qiuchi smiled and reached out to her little waist. Song Yun'er grinned and slapped Yang Qiuchi's hand away.

Yang Qiuchi picked up the curtain and jumped out of the car. Nangong Xiong and other personal guards who followed behind the carriage turned over and dismounted, scattered around to be on guard.

Their carriage stopped at the gate of Pengjiazhuang, which is the main street of Enyang Town, Qingshui Street.

When I looked up, I saw that the whole street was full of people with torches, adults, children, and many people, but everyone was quiet, and no one spoke.

At this time, a hearty laughter broke through the tranquility, Yang Qiuchi looked around, a burly middle-aged man walked towards him quickly, and there were seven or eight people behind him, Yang Qiuchi thought: "This must be Peng Hexi, the rich man of Enyang Town!" ”

Thinking that the other party had already walked in front of him, Yang Qiuchi was about to bow his hand, but the other party knelt down first, this kneeling, the whole street knelt together, Yang Qiuchi hurriedly helped up the big man in front of him, the other party was not formal, stood up and clasped his fists with both hands, "Lord Yang has been tired all the way, and my brother has sent a special envoy to come down to greet my lord." My brother had already prepared the thin wine and waited. After a pause, he added, "Lord Yang, my brother occasionally felt a cold when he came back from Chaba, and he couldn't welcome him from afar, so please forgive me Lord Yang!" ”

Hearing what he said, this person was not Peng Hexi, but his younger brother. Yang Qiuchi asked, "Which ...... are you?" ”

"The villain Peng Hechun, the seventh in the family, others also call me Peng Laoqi" The other party said, waved his hand behind his back, and the people on the street immediately stood on both sides of the street, and the street suddenly became spacious: "My lord, please!" ”

Yang Qiuchi looked back at Song Yun'er and Hong Aya, who were watching from the carriage, waved her hand, and the second daughter quickly jumped out of the car.

Peng Laoqi saw that there were two women of the same age in the carriage, both about fifteen years old, one wearing a pink fur cloak, looking very watery, but the eyes were bright and cold, so people didn't dare to look at it.

Another girl is dressed up, Peng Laoqi looked at it, and his eyes suddenly lit up, as if the whole street was illuminated by the girl's beauty, she was so charming and moving, every move was made, all of them were soft to the extreme, all of them were extremely beautiful, only to see Peng Laoqi was stunned, he had never seen such a beautiful girl in his life.

Yang Qiuchi was already very accustomed to this state caused by the charming and beautiful girl Huanhongya, and coughed lightly, then Peng Laoqi reacted, feeling that it was really rude for him to look at the little maid of the distinguished guest like this, and hurriedly lowered his eyes and bowed to the ground.

Yang Qiuchi's visit to Enyang Town this time can be described as a coincidence. Last time, after a bloody battle, with the reinforcement of Yunlu's heavily armored ironclad cavalry, he cut off the boat gang that was gradually leaving Boryeong Mansion in one fell swoop, and he originally wanted to take this opportunity to eradicate the entire boat gang, but he didn't expect that this Boryeong boat gang was only a branch of the entire boat gang, and the other branches could not be identified. Not to mention the ship's general rudder.

Since the trafficking of illicit salt was only done by the Baoning Mansion Boat Gang, and there was no evidence to prove that other boat gang branches participated in the trafficking of illicit salt, the Yamen of the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town did not support Yang Qiuchi's suggestion that the entire boat gang be named an illegal organization in the secret report and then banned, which made Yang Qiuchi very disappointed and more vigilant in his heart. There is still a long way to go to thoroughly investigate the crimes of the boat gang.

The lesson of the last blood made him learn to be more cautious, and he was determined to deal with the boat gang in the future, without full certainty, he would rather miss the opportunity than rush in.

After sending Song Qing away, everything calmed down again. Yang Qiuchi handed over almost all those boring government affairs to Master Jin and Master Long, and just signed them by himself. Everything was well organized.

On this day, Yang Qiuchi received a letter from Wu Ciren, the political envoy of Sichuan Province, saying that Peng Hexi, a wealthy man in Enyang Town, Bazhou, was his cousin, and he took the liberty of inviting Yang Qiuchi to Enyang Town to participate in the annual "fairy meeting" there.

Yang Qiuchi has never seen this Sichuan Province right political envoy Wu Ciren, but he is the boss of his top boss, and his uncle and nephew are warmly invited, this purpose is obvious, he has made such a big move in Bazhou and Baoning Mansion, this political envoy already knows that he is not an ordinary person, if he is too conspicuous to give himself a small Zhizhou direct sycophant, it happens that his relatives are in his own jurisdiction, so he borrowed this "fairy meeting" to invite himself to go, the purpose is of course to contact feelings.

Yang Qiuchi didn't like this kind of social activity very much, and didn't want to go, but after all, the "governor" invited him, the "mayor of a county-level city", to play, and it was always difficult to save face, so he took Song Yuner and the pretty girl Hong Aya, under the protection of Nangong Xiong and Xia Ping's escorts, to Enyang Town.

Peng Laoqi introduced Yang Qiuchi and others to Pengjiazhuang, and briefly introduced some allusions to Enyang Town along the way, which made Yang Qiuchi very interested.

Pengjiazhuang is very large, with long red lanterns, which looks very atmospheric, showing the pride and wealth of the owner's family.

Yang Qiuchi found that the houses here are mostly two-storey, with carved attics, firewalls on the lower floors, and wooden buildings on the upper floors, with wooden corridors and openwork window lattices.

I didn't pay attention while talking, and I had already come to the middle hall of the mansion. In front of the middle hall, a thin old man in his sixties was waiting in front of the hall with a group of people.

The old man was thin and full of silver hair, but he looked very good in spirit, and his deep eyes had a penetrating power, which immediately reminded people of the word crane hair and childish face. Yang Qiuchi has seen countless energetic old men, but none of them are as energetic as this old man.

"Old Peng Hexi, meet Lord Yang." The old man stepped forward and was about to kneel.

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly stepped forward and helped the other party up: "Old man, I can't help it." Hurry up, please. "The old man and the old man, this is an old Chinese motto, and the old man in ancient times generally did not need to kneel when seeing officials.

The old man bowed down and said: "The lord is our parent official, and he has worked hard all the way, Peng has never greeted him from afar, and he asks the lord to forgive his sins!" Yang Qiuchi said a few polite words, Peng Hexi invited Yang Qiuchi into the middle hall, invited him to the upper seat, sat on the left hand side, and Song Yuner sat down on the side. The maid Hongyan stood behind Yang Qiuchi.

Peng Hexi's two daughters sat on the other side, and they were also well-behaved. After Peng Hexi introduced his two daughters, he said apologetically: "I feel cold and unwell, so I can't come out to greet the distinguished guests, and I ask the lord to forgive me." ”

"It's okay." Yang Qiuchi said a few polite words, and pointed to Song Yun'er, who was looking around: "This is the little sister Song Yun'er, please don't care about Peng Weng if there is any rudeness." ”

"Hehehe, the lord is sorry, Ling Mei is heroic, admirable, even the little girl of the lord is also beautiful, compared to the two old daughters, it is a heaven and an earth. Hahaha"

Yang Qiuchi looked at Song Yun'er and Hong Aya beside him, and also laughed with Peng Hexi.

Yang Qiuchi said: "I didn't think that Peng Weng was the cousin of Lord Wu, the political envoy of our province, and we still have people like you in Bazhou, which is really the pride of our Bazhou." ”

Peng Hexi laughed, stroked his long hair and said: "The lord is so polite, I heard my cousin Ciren often talk about you, the lord, saying that you are young and promising, young and talented, quite appreciated by the emperor, you became a town uncle at a young age, and it is logical that you will enter the prime minister in the future." The old man was very impressed when he heard it, and he had the heart to get acquainted with the lord, but he was afraid that it would be too abrupt. Only then did I contact my cousin and nephew, and I hope that the lord will not blame the old man for not being upright. Hey. ”

"Where did Peng Weng say it, this really made Yang embarrassed."

After that, both of them laughed.

Let's gossip and come to the banquet. This banquet is so rich that even Yang Qiuchi, who has seen a lot of things, is a little smacked. After eating a meal, Yang Qiuchi simply calculated an account for this meal, if he was just an ordinary Zhizhou, I am afraid that he would have to spend half a year's money. It seems that this Peng Hexi is still very rich.

The next day, Yang Qiuchi woke up early, the countryside was much quieter than the city, only a few occasional birdsongs, everything was still quiet. He loved mornings like this.

Yang Qiuchi was about to get up lightly, although his movements were already very gentle, but Hong Aya still woke up and rubbed his eyes: "Master, you have woken up!" He smiled apologetically, "This place is so easy to sleep in, there is no cloud board sound of the yamen...... I'm ...... I've overslept, really. "Then you have to get up.

Yang Qiuchi pressed on her smooth fragrant shoulder: "Okay, your grandmother has returned to Wuchang, now it's just the two of us, you don't have to get up early to serve us like before." ”

"How can that happen, grandma ordered before she left, I want Aya'er to take good care of my master." Hong Aya smiled slightly, dodged Yang Qiuchi's palm, turned over and got out of bed, and hurriedly put on her dress with her back. Then served Yang Qiuchi and put on his robe, and brought hot water to serve him to wash.
