Chapter 330: Sworn to follow
Yang Qiuchi hurriedly returned to the inner office. When Song Qing saw Yang Qiuchi coming back, she stomped her feet and said, "Master! Why have you been there for so long, it's dark this day, and the Ruixiang cloth store must be closed, how can you go shopping, I don't do it! ”
Yang Qiuchi said apologetically: "Qingqing, I have urgent business now, and I will rush to Boryeong Mansion immediately, and when I am done with these things, I will accompany you to go shopping, okay?" ”
Song Qing also noticed that Yang Qiuchi's face was serious, and when she heard that there was urgent business, she suddenly became nervous and said, "Master, it's nothing serious, right?" ”
"It's okay, don't worry, I may have to go for a few days before I come back, you and Hongyan are obediently in the inner office these days, don't go out."
"Okay, sir, don't worry." Song Qing said, "Let Hongya accompany you, there is a response, there are still frost and snow by my side at home, it's okay." By the way, there is also a little black dog, maybe you can use it. ”
Yang Qiuchi nodded in agreement. Red Aya hurriedly ran back to her room and hurriedly took a few changes of clothes and came out. Yang Qiuchi hugged Song Qing and kissed her, and took the red silk and the little black dog out of the inner office.
Song Yun'er, the male escort team led by Nangong Xiong, and the people led by Zhan Zheng were already waiting outside, all riding horses, and specially prepared strong bows and crossbows.
Yang Qiuchi instructed Lin Xiang, the shopkeeper of the ship's trading house, to be put in prison and asked him to lead the way to arrest the fleet of the boat gang that trafficked illicit salt.
Lin Xiang had already boarded Yang Qiuchi's thief ship, and he could only go all the way to the dark, counting on Yang Qiuchi to wipe out the boat gang in one fell swoop, only in this way could he save his life.
Yang Qiuchi didn't have time to mobilize before the battle, and he didn't know if he could catch the fleet of boats that were trafficking in illicit salt, so he couldn't say the purpose of this trip, for fear of leaking the news, Yang Qiuchi and Hong Aya got on their horses, and Yang Qiuchi ordered to set off.
It took two days to travel from Bazhou City to Boryeong Mansion, and the situation was urgent, so Yang Qiuchi ordered a starry night.
At dawn on the third day, they arrived fifty miles away from Boryeong. Yang Qiuchi ordered to stop advancing.
Subsequently, inform Zhan Zhengzhan to gather the first and other catchers, Yang Qiuchi told them that the target of this operation is the fleet of the boat gang that trafficks illicit salt, because this is a matter of losing their heads, so the boat gang is likely to have an armed escort, and the task is very dangerous, plus the other party is the boat gang, which is a powerful underworld organization, so if you don't want to participate, you can follow yourself to Baoning Mansion, and after this matter is over, you can leave.
When the catchers heard that they were going to fight with the boat gang, they were stunned, and they talked in a whisper, unable to make up their minds.
Zhan Zheng lowered his head and thought about it, since Yang Qiuchi came to Bazhou, he had already found that this young earl was definitely not an ordinary person, "Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of entering the wrong industry," risks and opportunities coexist, and a decision must be made immediately. Thinking of this, he turned his heart sideways, walked out with his head held high, and said with his fists clenched: "Subordinate Zhan Zheng, I am willing to follow Lord Yang to the death and fight the boat gang to the end!" ”
Yang Qiuchi nodded approvingly and asked, "Is there anyone else who is willing to fight the boat gang to the death?" ”
Zhan Zheng stood up this time, and the catchers talked again, and several of Zhan Zheng's hardcore subordinates saw that the boss stood up, glanced at each other, and also stepped out of the ranks, hugged their fists and said: "The subordinates are willing to swear to follow the lord to the death, before and after the saddle, they will never give up!" ”
The rest of the dozen or so catchers hesitated for a moment, and at this time they had no way to retreat and become a seed, so they could only take one step at a time, and they all stood up.
Yang Qiuchi said: "Very good, they are all heroes!" He turned to the guard Nangong Xiong and said: "Except for my four personal guards who followed me to Baoning Mansion, you are responsible for the rest of the guards, plus Zhan Catcher and their fast catching team, and Lin Xiang, the shopkeeper of the ship's trading house, immediately rushed to the Jialing River, where the boat gang trafficked illicit salt fleet, searched along the river, intercepted the smuggling salt fleet, and escorted the fleet to the dock of Baoning Mansion for detention. When we arrive at Boryeong Mansion, we will bring 100 Jinyi guards to reinforce you. ”
Yang Qiuchi's personal escort team plus Nangong Xiong has a total of six people, before this, Xu Shiling has already brought four other guards to be sent to Baoning Mansion, in addition to Nangong Xiong, Yang Qiuchi has four personal guards left.
Nangong Xiong, as the leader of Yang Qiuchi's personal escort team, was naturally worried about the safety of his departure from Yang Qiuchi, but considering that there was a master like Song Yun'er on the side, and a personal escort team composed of four elites in the escort team, and the key to the success or failure of this operation was to intercept the fleet of the boat gang trafficking illicit salt, the responsibility was heavy, so he bowed down and took the team to the Jialing River.
Yang Qiuchi rushed to Baoning Mansion with Song Yun'er, Hong Aya, and four personal guards.
Boryeong Mansion is much larger and more prosperous than Bazhou, when Yang Qiuchi was appointed as the governor of Bazhou, he once came to Boryeong Mansion to visit the prefect of Boryeong Prefecture, and also knew the location of the Jinyi Wei Hundred Households. Go straight to the 100 households.
The guards showed the waist card of the Fusi Jinyi Guard in the north town of the capital, and the guards on duty at the Jinyi Guard Hundred Households in Baoning Mansion nodded and welcomed a few of them in.
When he came to the living room, he heard the noise inside, Yang Qiuchi was slightly stunned, it seemed that there was a quarrel, and the voices of several of them were very familiar, and he hurriedly stepped into the living room, and saw that Xu Shiling and the other five brocade guards he had sent earlier were arguing with the other brocade guards.
Seeing Yang Qiuchi and others coming in, Xu Shiling was overjoyed, and ran over and bowed down to report: "Sir, you are here, it's really good, I waited to search for Wang Xiongjian along the road, found no trace, rushed to Baoning Mansion, and told the lord what he meant to Zhou Fahai and Zhou Baihu of the hundred households, but Lord Zhou said that there was no evidence to prove that Lu gradually left their boat gang to commit any major crimes, so they refused to send troops to monitor Lu gradually from them, and we have been arguing about this matter." ”
Yang Qiuchi turned his head to look at the brocade guards of the hundred households of Baoning Mansion, and saw that there were no people wearing the official uniforms of the hundred households of the brocade guards, so he asked, "What about you Zhou Baihu?" Tell him to come to me! ”
The brocade guards didn't answer, and looked at the red silk behind Yang Qiuchi as if they were stupid, and their saliva was about to stay.
Red Aya's peerless appearance, this appearance made these pig brothers and brocade guards look stupid. Hong Aya snorted, made a pretty face, and hid behind Yang Qiuchi.
Yang Qiuchi frowned, and raised his voice: "This official asked you, where are your Zhou Baihu!" Go and call him to me! ”
Only then did those Jinyi guards react, it turned out that in addition to the beauty, a few people came in, and hurriedly looked Yang Qiuchi up and down, seeing that he was wearing Zhizhou's official uniform, he was suddenly a little angry, according to the convention, no matter how big the magistrate's official is, he should also be polite to Jinyiwei, who made Jinyiwei the emperor's person.
They are just ordinary minions, and they don't know that Yang Qiuchi, the Zhizhou, also has a super-grade earl status, thinking that you are a five-grade Zhizhou, although it is one level older than Jinyiwei Baihu Zhengliupin, but you can't directly call the Baihu Lord to see you. These brocade guards were angry in their hearts, glanced at each other, ignored Yang Qiuchi, and stared at the red silk hiding behind Yang Qiuchi with a smile.
Hongya was annoyed by their eyes, glared at her, and cried out in disgust, "Hey! What to see! Didn't you hear what our lord said? Don't go yet! ”
A few brocade guards were startled at this moment, sir? What sir? Where did the lord come from? These Jinyi guards don't understand, but this lord really can't scare them who are used to being domineering, thinking that even if it is a lord, it is an empty name, no power or position, and he can't point fingers at a hundred Jinyi guards, not to mention that it is in Baoning, Sichuan, where Emperor Gao is far away on this day, so they glanced at each other and didn't move.
Xu Shiling on the side shouted: "Didn't you hear? Why don't you hurry up and call the hundred households to come out, otherwise you will delay the business and make you look good! ”
Those Jinyi guards knew that Xu Shiling was a Jinyi guard from the capital, but they didn't dare to slack off, and agreed, and the leader was a general banner, surnamed Fan, who turned around slowly and entered the back hall.
Yang Qiuchi was anxious, he didn't expect that the bureaucracy of the hundred households in the Baoning Mansion was so serious, and he also ignored Xu Shiling's position that he was too small to command this hall of six products and hundreds of households, and there was indeed no evidence to prove that Lu gradually left them to commit crimes.
After waiting for almost a cup of tea, I heard a smile in the back hall and two people walked out quickly, that Fan Zongqi accompanied a big fat man, the fat man was wearing the flying fish suit of Jinyi Wei Baihu, came over and asked with a smile: "The contemptible person is Zhou Fahai of Baoning Jinyi Wei Baihu, may I ask which of you is Lord Yang of Zhenyuan?" ”
Having said that, but his small slitted eyes also stared straight at Hong Aya's up and down, left and right, and at the end, he swallowed his saliva very loudly.
Xu Shiling pointed to Yang Qiuchi with his hand and said, "This is Yang Jue Yang of our town and the governor of Bazhou. ”
Zhou Fahai and Zhou Baihu reluctantly took his eyes off Hong Aya, looked at Yang Qiuchi, bowed with a smile and said, "Humble Zhou Fahai, see Lord Yang." ”
Yang Qiuchi returned the salute: "Lord Baihu, the entourage I sent has already told you about the urgent business, why don't you carry it out?" ”
Zhou Fahai said with a smile: "Sir, this matter must be considered in the long run." After a pause, he turned his head to look at Hong Aya, smiled and said, "Sir, this beautiful girl behind you is ......"
"It's my concubine!" Yang Qiuchi said unhappily. He didn't want to say that it was Yahuan, lest the bewildered Baihu have any ideas, and besides, it had already been said that as long as Hong Aya was pregnant with her child, she would be accepted into the room immediately. Therefore, it is not wrong to say that the concubine room.
After saying this, Yang Qiuchi turned his head to Hong Aya and said, "You go to Miss Song's side." ”
Hearing Yang Qiuchi call himself his concubine, Hong Aya was very happy in her heart, glanced at Zhou Fahai in disgust, and turned around and came to Song Yun'er's side.
