Chapter 93: Finding a Plan to Save People
Chapter 93: Finding a plan to save people
Yang Ling returned to the Zhenfu Division and changed into his robes, and ordered the four personal soldiers to stay in the Zhenfu Division for the time being, and rushed to the Chengnan Jiaofang Division alone. Officials can't be blatant when they go in and out of Fireworks Willow Lane, let alone during the mourning period for the first emperor.
Although Yang Ling didn't go to the scoop to remember, he was also nervous, he pressed the brim of his hat low, although there were not many people he knew in Yanjing City, and it was either an old man or an old eunuch, the more careful the better.
Yang Ling sneakily entered the sect department, only to see more than a dozen equally sneaky men also sneaking in one after another, all wearing inconspicuous robes, wearing wide-brimmed hats, and some even holding small fans to cover their faces, looking around one by one.
The first emperor passed away, and the untouchables of the happy household did not even have the qualifications to bring filial piety to the emperor, and the Jiyuan was open as usual. Yang Ling secretly looked around, but he didn't find the servant of the sect priest wearing a green turban, and he was wondering in his heart, and a man with a fan to cover his face next to him looked at him and came up.
He covered his face and laughed in a low voice: "Brother, the silver in Kaifeng is doubled, and you also want to taste the taste of the goddess doctor?" Hehe, I think it's better to come back to give me shabu-shabu in two days."
Yang Ling couldn't help frowning in disgust when he heard him speak dirty, but as soon as he heard him say Kaifeng, his heart suddenly let go again, hasn't that Miss Gao been ruined yet?
He hurriedly concealed his disgust, and also pretended to be a ladyboy and said: "The goddess doctor is famous, and I just came to try my luck, so naturally I can't compare to my brother's wealth."
The man saw that he spoke politely and didn't know each other, so he brushed the fan, looked around and lowered his voice: "Brother, I've been here a long time ago, but the Teaching Workshop Division hasn't invaded the official's family for many years, and it's difficult to play a good girl."
Yang Ling looked at this benevolent brother who called himself an elder brother, although his hair was black, his face was already wrinkled, and he looked really haggard and old.
The benevolent brother said complacently: "Brother, how can this kind of young lady know what kind of work, it is not suitable for you, I came to spend money not to enjoy the taste of the bed brother, understand?" What she wants is her identity, to press the son-in-law who is the sixth rank of the imperial doctor of the dynasty under her body, and she is comfortable."
Yang Ling heard him so shameless, he couldn't wait to kick him out, only to hear this "big brother" and say shamelessly: "I heard that she was just asked to open the door to welcome guests, she hit the corner of the table, and the people from the Teaching Department went in to save people, and I don't know if this sign can be lifted today.
A horse-faced man in a green robe in front of him turned his head when he heard his voice, and when he saw his appearance, he immediately exclaimed in a low voice: "Boss? ”
The benevolent brother was startled, and he was anxious to cover his face with a fan but it was too late, and when he saw the person in front of him, he couldn't help but lose his voice and said: "Outside the Dai Yuan, why is it not a person."
Before he finished speaking, the Dai Yuanwai had already rushed over and covered his mouth, and said urgently: "Silence, don't be heard." Boss Guan broke away from his hand, glared and said, "Who came here didn't have this idea?" Are you still afraid of meeting people? ”
Dai Yuan smiled wryly: "You're not afraid? Why are you covering your face when you're not afraid? ”
Boss Guan smiled dryly: "She just bought medicinal materials from me, and I don't owe her anything to Guan Pingchao, so I can support her if I want to." However, Miss Gao has countless living people, and she is a famous goddess doctor in Beijing, and her popularity is too good, if she is known, it will always hinder my reputation."
He glanced at Dai Yuanwai and sneered slightly: "But you Dai Xiaolou Dai Yuanwai shouldn't come, not to mention that you have nine beautiful wives and concubines in your family, at least Miss Gao has saved your life, and you are embarrassed to take advantage of people's danger?" ”
Dai Yuanwai's face turned red, and he said shamelessly: "What's wrong with saving your life?" Hum! You don't know how many times I begged her before she would come to the doctor for me, but I spent twenty taels of gold, and she left with a sentence telling me to do more good deeds, and not to be rich and unkind. Okay, I'll give her face today, so that she knows what it means to be rich and unkind under my crotch."
This pair of shameless people! If it weren't for Yang Ling's own sneakiness, he would definitely find an excuse to get these two scum to Jinyiwei for repairs. The two perverts were talking, wearing a red thread arm, a cyan scarf on their heads, and a standard teacher Sikong Ming, who was dressed as a music and art officer, walked out of the back hall.
Sikong Ming walked into the hall and clapped his palms, and the people who whispered around immediately calmed down, and Sikong Ming smiled angrily: "Thank you for your support, today's girl must be known to everyone, she is the daughter of Gao Tinghe, the six-grade criminal official of the imperial court and the imperial doctor, and she and the golden needle Liu of Yeju Zhai and the three-fingered field of Xinghuaju, but they are the three major divine doctors of the Beijing Division, and their status is noble." Ladies and gentlemen, no matter how big your identity or how much money you have, you can't even touch a finger of the eldest lady, right? ”
There was a buzz of response below, Sikong Ming smiled proudly, and said: "But it's different today, as long as you are willing to spend money, this eldest lady can play as much as you want, hehe, this opportunity is hard to find with a lantern, okay, don't talk about it, tonight's budding silver starts at three hundred taels, and the gentlemen feel that it is suitable to give the price."
As soon as he said three hundred taels, there was already an uproar below, and three hundred taels of silver was said to be everyone's daughter, but it was too expensive, and some people had retreated at the moment. Although the boss and Dai Yuanwai also had some pain, when they thought of the eldest lady who could only nod their heads and accompany the smiling face, they were really reluctant to let go today.
Boss Guan pondered for a long time how many medicinal materials he had to sell to earn back, and finally gritted his teeth and shouted: "I'll pay three hundred taels!" Dai Yuan glanced at him and raised his voice: "Three hundred and one tael!" ”。
Yang Ling touched his arms, a little relieved, today he took the silver to return Ma Yongcheng, before he had time to hand back the young lady, there were four thousand taels of silver in his arms to make a base, he was not too worried, it was really not okay to pretend to be a ladyboy tonight to wrap Miss Gao down, and then go to the eunuch in charge as soon as the palace door opened.
The owner of the money in the hall competed, and in the end, only the boss, Dai Yuanwai and a son were still left to continue to bargain, and the price had bitten to 460 taels at this time, Yang Ling suddenly shouted: "I will pay five hundred taels."
He added forty taels at once, and the three people couldn't help but glance at him in surprise, and Sikong Ming said with a smile: "Okay, this son, please step forward and answer."
Yang Ling stepped forward hard, the two bad seeds who lacked virtue and smoked and the son looked at him carefully, and the right Shaowu Sikong Ming smiled and watched him approach, suddenly stunned, his face showed a look of surprise, and the look of surprise was just fleeting, and then he laughed and said: "This son is a graceful and dignified master at first glance, and she can't help but cut down the tartland when she first gets involved, she will hand it over to the son tonight."
When Dai Yuanwai heard this, he hurriedly said: "Wait, I'll give five hundred and twenty taels." Yang Ling immediately said: "Six hundred taels!" ”
Sikong Ming smiled and said: "The price is paid by the gentlemen, but who does the girl promise to, but let's have the final say, I have already said that Miss Gao will return to this prince tonight in front of so many people, can you regret it?" It's only five hundred taels, son, please come later."
Everyone was stunned, there was something wrong with this music official? How can you push the money out, Yang Ling was also secretly strange in his heart, but at this time, he couldn't care about it so much, and immediately walked to the back hall with the Shao Wu Lord in the midst of everyone's discussions.
This Sikong Ming really knows Yang Ling. A few days ago, it was said that the Hongzhi funeral ceremony and the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, the teaching department was responsible for the left and right Shao dances and the left and right music of the palace music, and they were busy in the palace. Yang Ling is the commander of the guards of the Forbidden Palace, and he has been patrolling the imperial city, he didn't pay attention to these servants, but Sikong Ming recognized his appearance, and only then did he recognize that this was Lord Yang, who was red and purple in front of the emperor, how could he not be bothered to buy it.
Sikong Ming took Yang Ling to a small building with carved beams and paintings, and laughed in a low voice: "The villain is waiting for the son to come here, Miss Gao's surname is violent, but the villain has poured a pot of liquor and tied it to the bed, the prince will definitely have fun tonight."
The female dependents of the convicts who are assigned never use drugs, because most of the people who are in a hurry to cheer are their embarrassed expressions, Sikong Ming thought that Yang Ling was also good, and said with a smile: "Things like trembling and helping flowers, villains are useless, but I see that the son is mighty, and it is easy to come and carry a gun and cross a horse and wave a thousand troops, let alone control a woman?" ”
Yang Ling heard this in his heart, and looked back at him, Sikong Ming's eyes immediately hung down humbly as soon as he touched him, and he said with a slight bow: "The little one is called Sikong Ming, it is the right Shao Dance of the Teaching Workshop, and it is a small honor to be able to serve the prince today, although the son has a good time, the little one has said goodbye."
Sikong Ming secretly clicked Yang Ling, sent this favor, and quietly retreated. Yang Ling listened to his tone, and seemed to recognize his identity, and his heart was uncertain. But now that he has arrived at the door, he can't leave a hard-working woman and turn around and leave, Yang Ling calmed down, pushed open the door and walked in.
The pavilion is not big, there are tables and chairs in the room, there is a pot of wine on the table, a few platters, it seems that the teaching department received the silver to entertain the guests is quite thoughtful. Inside was an embroidered bed, the curtain hung on the gold hooks on both sides, and on the embroidery bed lay a woman, wearing only obscene clothes and trousers.
She struggled so hard that even the embroidery bed shook, Yang Ling found that her hands and feet were tied to the four corners of the wooden bed with white silk, this woman's hair was messy, her head was wrapped with a white cloth, and there were faint blood marks, a red face, and a white silk was tied in her mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue and committing suicide.
Yang Ling hurriedly plugged in the door and walked to her side, the woman's eyes were even more anxious and angry, she struggled desperately, screaming in her mouth, Yang Ling hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, I want to come to rescue you." ”
The woman stopped struggling when she heard this, and looked at him with panicked eyes as if she was in disbelief, Yang Ling saw that she was only wearing obscene clothes, her delicate body was exposed, and her plump breasts raised the lake-green corset high, which was quite indecent in front of a strange man, and hurriedly pulled over a brocade quilt to cover her, and said softly: "Miss don't doubt it, I am entrusted by Gao Wenlan and Gao Wenju to rescue Miss."
When Miss Gao heard the names of her cousin and cousin, she believed it, and she screamed uncontrollably, and tears could not help but flow from her eyes. Yang Ling hurriedly said: "I'll untie you, don't make a noise, we'll talk about the way to save you from escaping later."
Gao Wenxin nodded again and again, Yang Ling untied her mouth towel and the white silk that tied her limbs, and Miss Gao hugged the quilt and said in a trembling voice: "Concubine, thank you for saving your life!" ”
Yang Ling turned his head and said, "Miss Gao, don't thank me first, if you can lend a hand, I will help." But there is a nasty thing I have to say," he said, taking a breath and saying in a low tone, "You are a prisoner, and I am not sure that I will save you."
Gao Wenxin's red and swollen eyes looked at him fixedly for a long time, and Fang smiled sadly and said: "The concubine still has to thank the son, as long as the concubine can die innocently, the princess is already grateful for this great kindness."
Yang Ling sighed in his heart when he heard this, and he hardened his heart: "Miss Gao, it's not that Yang is ruthless, but Yang is also a person with a family and a business, and he can't do things without scruples." Alas, whether you can be pardoned or not, it is all in the emperor's words. I will enter the palace early in the morning, and the eunuch will slow down your disposal first, and I will have to find another way to get you out."
Gao Wenxin wiped his tears and said: "The concubine is not afraid of death, but she is afraid of innocence, if she can escape Gu Ran, if she can't, but just die, the son doesn't have to be too embarrassed." Gongzi said today that it is a great kindness to save the concubine, please ask Gongzi Gao's name? ”
Yang Ling glanced back at her and said unabashedly: "Yang Ling, the general of the Lower Shenji Battalion!" ”
Gao Wenxin's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Yang Ling Yang reads? Her already desperate heart was instantly filled with ecstasy, and the person in front of her was actually the minister who dared to resist the edict of the East Palace attendant, and the minister who was extremely favored by the emperors of the old and new generations. If he can really get rid of his suffering, who else can do it?
The sky was faintly bright, Gao Wenxin was still asleep, frightened for a few days, yesterday she lost too much blood and was poured a pot of spirits, and she stayed up until the second half of the night, she finally couldn't help but sleep.
Gao Wenxin fell asleep, and suddenly felt as if there was someone around her, she was always vigilant these days, and she was the most sensitive to this, although her consciousness had just woken up, she was still excited, Huo Di opened her eyes, and as soon as she met the pair of shining eyes, she shrank in horror, and looked at it, only then did she see that it was Yang Ling, and she couldn't help but pull the quilt to her chin with some embarrassment.
Yang Ling smiled slightly, straightened up and said, "Look at the fragrance you are sleeping, I can't bear to call you, I can't think of you waking up."
Gao Wenxin said with some embarrassment: "It's a joke for Lord Yang, the little girl is too tired."
Yang Ling smiled and took over the conversation and said: "I know, I am going to enter the palace now, if everything goes well, the Department of Teaching and Workshop will send someone to move you to live alone in the afternoon at the latest, I will find an opportunity to slowly make a statement to the emperor, if I have no news by the evening."
Gao Wenxin's face turned white, she bit her lip, and said calmly: "The concubine understands that if the concubine's situation remains unchanged before the lamp tonight, nothing can be done, and the concubine will find an opportunity to die, no matter what, the concubine is grateful for the kindness of the adults."
Yang Ling waved his hand weakly, sighed, and walked out without looking back.
**********************************************************************************************************
In the yamen of the Bell and Drum Division, Liu Jin was majestically directing dozens of little eunuchs to busily hit the bell and beat the drum. Jingyang bell by eight little eunuchs holding the giant wood to hit, this kind of not engrave the whole gossip only engrave the huge bell in the Ming Dynasty only three mouths, one in the Temple of Heaven, one in the Dongyue Temple, one said in this imperial garden, on behalf of the three talents of heaven, earth and man.
There is a leaky room in the Imperial Garden, and there is a giant Qibao Lantern Leak in it, which is one foot six feet high, and the living water of the Imperial Garden stimulates the mechanism and runs automatically. There are cloud beads and bead beams in the mechanism, and there are faucets at both ends of the beam, which are used to adjust the speed of the water flow. There are 12 puppets holding the hour sign in the Qibao lantern leak, taking turns to come out to tell the time, and 4 small logs to hit the bell, beat the drum, hit the cymbal, and hit the cymbals to report the time.
The little eunuch who saw the moment stood at the door and used a small flag to inform Liu Jin, the eunuch with the palm print standing on the Jingyang bell tower, and Liu Jin commanded the little eunuchs to hit the Jingyang bell and beat the Sichen drum, announcing the beginning of the early dynasty and the hundred officials going to the palace.
After beating the bell and drum, Liu Jin went downstairs, and was about to go to the Yamen of the Bell and Drum Division to drink tea and eat some snacks, when he suddenly saw Yang Ling coming, and hurriedly greeted him and smiled: "Lord Yang, how can you have time to come here?" ”
Yang Ling arched his hand and said: "Father-in-law Liu, Yang came to you on purpose."
Liu Jinqi said: "What is Lord Yang looking for us?" Come on, come on, and go to the bell and drum division for some tea, let's talk about it in detail before it's too late."
Yang Ling hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Father-in-law is slow, Yang is really in a hurry about this, but the Bell and Drum Division has no time to go." He pulled Liu Jin aside and told him the whole story.
Yang Ling didn't hide anything from him, since this matter was to make Zhengde open his mouth to forgive people, instead of hiding it and letting Zhengde know that he thought he was deceiving the Son of Heaven, it was better to be a good person calmly, and even if Zhengde didn't agree at that time, he wouldn't blame him.
Liu Jin smiled when he heard what he said: "Well, this matter is a punishment imposed by Hong Shangshu in order to please the emperor, and the family members of the offender are not understood by the set of long live masters who are in the sect department." ”
He looked around, lowered his voice and said: "Let's tell you the truth, the emperor was angry that Imperial Physician Gao had killed the first emperor, and pulled them out and cut them down, but after checking it out, it turned out that Zhang Yu took the wrong medicine in a panic when the first emperor was ill, hey!" Imperial Physician Gao and Yang Yuan were sentenced to death unjustly, but what can be done about this? I have to make mistakes. ”
Yang Ling was stunned when he heard this: The dignified son of heaven, it turns out that he can also die like this, his will can make thousands of heads fall to the ground, but he himself lost his surname because an inconspicuous little eunuch next to him took the wrong thing in a panic.
He frowned and said, "In this way, wouldn't Miss Gao be even more wronged?" The dead are gone, how can innocent people be allowed to suffer in vain? ”
Liu Jin said disapprerovingly: "What is this? For the sake of royal decency, what does it matter if a thousand or ten thousand people die? Zhang Yu has already spread the news of taking the wrong medicine, if the emperor pardons her, wouldn't it be more confirmed? Therefore, if you want to pardon her, it is absolutely impossible. However".
Yang Ling said hurriedly when he heard this: "But what? Father-in-law Liu, don't sell Guanzi anymore, please teach me quickly! ”
Liu Jin laughed twice and said: "Adults have compassion, it is not difficult to save people, as long as this matter is done to round the emperor's face, and to give the emperor a sympathetic courtier's scenery, hehe, what is the point of pardoning an inconsequential yellow-haired girl?" ”
Yang Ling knew that Liu Jin was the best at figuring out Zhengde's thoughts, and hurriedly asked: "Yang wanted to ask my father-in-law to recommend me to meet the father-in-law in charge of the Teaching Workshop Division, but I didn't expect my father-in-law to have such a clever plan, and asked Father-in-law Liu to give advice, if the woman got out of trouble, she would definitely be grateful to her father-in-law, and set up an immortal tablet for you, and offered it with three pillars of incense."
Liu Jin was praised by him for an old face like a blooming ju-flower, he hurriedly waved his hand and humbled it, until Yang Ling was impatient to pull his arm against his ear and whisper for a while, Yang Ling listened to it and said happily: "Yang Ling thought it was as difficult as a big event, his father-in-law went out and immediately solved it, this plan is very good, just wait for the completion of the work, Yang Ling will set up a wine feast to thank his father-in-law."
Liu Jin smiled and said, "Why should Lord Yang be polite, just rely on your friendship with me to help our family?" Let's go, let's take you to meet Grandpa Si Jing of the teaching workshop first, and settle the woman. Jing Gong is fair and ignores our family, but since the emperor ascended the throne, he often wants to relieve me with a smiling face, and he must agree to this matter. ”……
The early dynasty dispersed, Hong Zhong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Xu Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, returned to the court room to take the document submitted to the cabinet yesterday, and saw Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, sitting in the court room with a sad brow, with a sad face. Hong Zhong couldn't help but wonder: "Master Ma, why do you sigh? ”
Ma Wensheng saw that it was two colleagues and friends, and couldn't help sighing: "The three scholars went to the harem to ask the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to say goodbye, and discussed the emperor's wedding.
Hong Zhong said with a smile: "It's not all, some officials from poor provinces have the opportunity to serve in rich provinces this time, but they are cheering." However, the emperor's will is really not small, those feudal officials who do not have a relative or friend, go back to the original site to take care of each other, it is also a matter of affection, this time I moved the place, but there is no chance, can't I move all the family and clan relatives? ”
The younger brother of Xu Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is an official in his hometown of Jinling, and he is also among the officials who have moved to the official position this time, and he snorted coldly when he heard this: "This idea was originally inconsiderate, I heard that it was the slander of Liu Jin, the eunuch of the bell and drum division, and Yang Ling, the commander of the pro-army, who were not familiar with political affairs, which caused the current complaints."
Ma Wensheng frowned and said: "Although this matter is a bit reckless, it may not be beneficial, otherwise the three scholars in the cabinet will not vote, now that the holy decree has been issued, we as courtiers should be implemented as one, don't say this kind of thing in the future."
Seeing that he was displeased, Xu Guan also sneered: "The adult is the belly of the villain with the heart of a gentleman, although Yang Ling has been favored by the saint, he has never been able to interfere in the government affairs, Anzhi doesn't he want to pretend to be a public and private to find a rich side of the realm as an official?" ”
He took his own document scroll and walked out of the court room angrily, and saw his henchman Li Jie, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, hurriedly greeted him, and couldn't help but wonder: "Li Jie, what a big deal is it to supervise the construction of Tailing, why did you come back to Beijing without permission?" ”
Li Jie's face was full of anxiety, but when he saw him, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "My lord, something big happened on the mausoleum."
Xu Guan said suspiciously: "Something happened on the mausoleum?" What the hell is going on? ”
Li Jie looked left and right, approached him and whispered: "My lord, Tailing Xuangong is deflated, and the water is coming out of the golden well."
Xu Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, heard the sound of "ah", his face changed greatly, and the scroll he was holding in his arms was suddenly scattered on the ground.
