Chapter 001: Row after Row
. Many pedestrians on the road pointed at Deng Xiuer's funeral team, their faces were indifferent, curious, ridiculed, and scolded, but they couldn't see any sympathy.
Deng Zuyang is a good person, and he has never seen him do anything corrupt and perverted, but those who do evil are his family, and he is Sizhou's parent official, and all the resentment can only fall on his head in the end. When he went among the people and asked for warmth, they would not say anything to him; When he worked on the dam with the migrant workers, they could act like they were grateful, but the resentment in their hearts only grew deeper, and when he committed suicide, this resentment manifested itself without reservation.
Deng Xiuer didn't look at the faces of others, nor did she listen to their words, she just carefully held the tray containing the spiritual cards of her parents, and walked on the streets of Sizhou step by step, her heart wandering, as if she had no one to rely on. A few days ago, she was still the daughter of the noble prefect, and anyone who saw her had to be respectful, but now she can only bear the ridicule and scolding of others like this, and under the scorching sun, her heart is like a cellar soaked in ice.
Suddenly, the noise became softer, Deng Xiu'er felt something, and when she looked up, she found that the attitude of the onlookers seemed to be much more respectful, and Deng Xiu'er's lips flashed with a self-deprecating smile: "Will they still have some respect for me and an innocent deceased?" ”
With a turn of his eyes, he suddenly fixed on a person on the side of the road, Deng Xiu'er suddenly suddenly, Yang Hao was dressed in an official robe, standing solemnly on the side of the road, and was bowing slightly to the funeral procession, the awe of those people was not for the father who committed suicide unjustly, but for this official who they may not know, but was wearing an official robe, and what they were in awe of was only the power represented by the official robe, nothing more.
Yang Hao bowed his salute without squinting, and sent Deng Zuyang's funeral procession passing, he didn't know why there were three coffins in the team, but now it was clearly not the time to ask curiously, he only stood aside and sent Deng Zuyang's funeral a ride. Governor Deng is a foolish official, he wants to benefit one party, but the result is to harm the people, but his character is undoubtedly respectable and worthy of worship.
When Deng Xiu'er saw Yang Hao, hatred and anger suddenly surged into her heart. She knew that Qin Cha and his party were going to leave Sizhou today, and she wanted to bury her parents and parents and chase them, waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge on them, she was a weak woman who was powerless, and she didn't think about how she could kill Yang Hao Cheng Yu, these strong men, hatred burned in her heart, she just instinctively wanted to follow them, they were like a torch, and she was a moth, she could only pounce without hesitation, even if she was broken.
For this reason, she prepared three coffins, and in the third coffin, her clothes and ornaments were contained, and she set up a mound for herself today, and after today, she did not think that she was a living person. But she never expected that Yang Hao would appear at the moment of the funeral, and he would also send him off there with pretense of benevolence and righteousness.
Combined with the conversation she had heard between Cheng Yu, Cheng Dexuan and Yang Hao, coupled with the strange figure of Yang Hao when her father's blood was splashed on the spot, Deng Xiuer had stubbornly determined that he, Cheng Yu, and Cheng Dexuan were the murderers who planned to kill their father, and now that the murderer was in front of her, a wave of anger rose instantly, and Deng Xiuer felt that the pair of spirit cards in her hands were as hot as red-hot charcoals.
Yang Hao waited for the funeral procession to pass, but he didn't want to see a pair of linen embroidered shoes in front of him, and when he raised his eyes slightly, he saw the filial piety belt hanging down from the thin waist, and his eyes moved up quickly, it was Deng Xiu'er's tearful eyes.
Deng Xiuer, who is filial, is like a white lotus rising out of the water.
Yang Hao couldn't bear to look at her, his eyes drooped and said, "Miss Deng, mourn." ”
With this low gaze, Yang Hao saw that what Deng Xiu'er was holding in his hand was actually a pair of spirit cards, one of which was Mrs. Liu's, and he couldn't help but be shocked: "Mrs. Liu...... How could Madame...... How so? ”
All of Yang Hao's reactions, in the eyes of Deng Xiu'er, who was preconceived and full of suspicion of stealing the axe, became a false heart, and her heart became more and more hateful, she suppressed her anger and said in a crying voice: "Mother...... Because of the death of his father, he was overwhelmed with grief and hung over the beam...... Committed suicide ......."
Yang Hao couldn't help but be gloomy when he heard it, and he didn't know what to say for a while, Deng Xiu'er was sad and unspeakable, her delicate body trembled, the tray in her hand shook, and the two spirit cards slipped to the ground, Yang Hao hurriedly leaned over to pick it up, Deng Xiuer also hurriedly bent down to pick up the spirit card, but when she saw Yang Hao bowing her head, revealing the back item, her heart suddenly rose with a killing intent, her fingers touched, and she touched the sharp scissors in her arms, Deng Xiuer took out the scissors from her arms, bit the root of her teeth, and stabbed Yang Hao at the back of the neck.
"Officials beware!"
Wu Wa'er and Tang Yanyan were dressed in colorful clothes, Yang Hao didn't let them get out of the car, both of them were sitting in the car, but they also opened the curtains and looked here, and suddenly saw Deng Xiu'er take out a sharp blade, gritted his teeth and stabbed Yang Hao, the two couldn't help but be shocked, Wu Wa'er screamed out of her voice, and Tang Yanyan jumped out of the car and flew towards her.
As soon as Deng Xiuer's body moved, there was a movement under his feet, Yang Hao, who was bending down to pick up the spirit card, was already alert, and when Wu Wa'er's voice came into his ears, Yang Hao flashed sideways on the spot, and the sharp scissors in Deng Xiuer's hand stabbed down his cheek and cut through his official clothes.
"Miss Deng, are you crazy?"
Yang Hao got up and dodged in a hurry, Deng Xiuer was like crazy, and she didn't answer, she just clenched the scissors and waved them frantically, Yang Hao could restrain her as long as she stretched out her hand, but she didn't know why she had a murderous intention towards herself, she just dodged again and again, at this time Tang Yanyan rushed to the front, and saw that she still wanted to poison Yang Hao, and said angrily: "Get out of my way!" ”
The skirt floated up like a fire cloud, Tang Yanyan kicked out of the skirt with a heart-piercing leg, and kicked Deng Xiu'er in the chest, Deng Xiuer screamed, rolled a few times on the spot, and fell out. Tang Yanyan was furious, and wanted to pounce on her to teach her a lesson, but was stopped by Yang Hao.
Yang Hao looked at the torn official clothes on his shoulders disappreciably, locked his eyebrows and slowly stepped forward a few steps, and asked in a deep voice: "Miss Deng, what do you mean by this, why do you intend to assassinate this official?" ”
Deng Xiu'er held the scissors tightly, struggled to get up from the ground, wiped the blood from her lips, and sneered: "The surname is Yang, why do you have to pretend?" You know who killed my father. If my father is punished by the law of the country, Deng Xiuer will only admit it if she is unwilling, but you ...... You used this shameless means to force my father and mother to death, Deng Xiu'er did not take revenge, and she was a daughter in vain! ”
"The girl thinks I forced Ling Zun to death?" Yang Hao was shocked and angry: "Yang has no grudge against Ling Zun, what reason is there to kill him?" ”
"Grudge? Do you dog officials still need to kill people because of any grudge? As long as there are people who get in your way, as long as there are people who are not all the way with you, don't you want to get rid of them as soon as possible? ”
Deng Xiu'er sneered: "My father is an official recommended by Zhao Xianggong, and he is not a person from the same way as you, now that he has such an opportunity, will you let him go?" On that day in the official warehouse office, I listened to everything you discussed with Cheng Yu and others, and you still have to quibble? ”
Tang Yanyan said angrily: "This woman really doesn't know what to do, Brother Hao doesn't need to talk nonsense with her, she stabbed officials on the street, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, tie her up and hand her over to the Tang Imperial Envoy, at least sentence her to prison." ”
Yang Hao saw that Miss Deng was so unreasonable, and his heart was also on fire, he suppressed the fire in his heart, and said in a loud voice: "This is really a good person can't do it, I can't imagine that Yang will be soft-hearted at some point, but he will cause trouble for himself." ”
"Good guys? Haha, you dare to say that you are a good person? Good people don't live long, only you traitors and wicked people will live a long life. ”
"Lao Hei, tie her up for me and send her to the official for investigation!" Tang Yanyan was furious, and when he looked back, he ordered Lao Hei who was hurrying up.
Yang Hao hurriedly stopped and said in a deep voice: "That's it, Miss Deng is angry because she is sad about the death of her parents, and now she is a little delirious, and the official is not very self-conscious, so let her go this time." ”
He looked at Deng Xiu'er fixedly, and said calmly: "Miss Deng, if you want to kill Yang, you Miss Deng can't do it, what Yang has done is above board, and there is no place to be sorry for Ling Zun." I pity you for being lonely, I won't pursue it this time, I hope you don't get an inch! ”
"Don't go! Are you a thief? Deng Xiu'er saw him turn around and left, and had the heart to chase again, only to feel that his chest was about to burst, and his breath hurt his heart, so he had to grit his teeth and stand: "The surname Yang, you either beat me to death on the street today, otherwise, I will definitely go to you again, and I will never let you go!" ”
Yang Hao was about to step to board the car, when he heard the sound, he turned around and said: "Ling Zun's character is really good, but he is stupid and ignorant, and he is a nerd scholar who does not know the world. Your daughter is also as confused as your father, repaying virtue with resentment, and she doesn't know what to do! This official is righteous to you Deng Jiaren, but you are regarded as the enemy who killed your father, and one day the truth will be revealed, what face do you have to come to see me! ”
Deng Xiuer said categorically: "I blamed you wrongly? If I, Deng Xiu'er, blame you, I will kill myself with this pair of scissors in front of you, and become a cow and a horse in the next life to atone for my sins, do you dare to make such a poisonous oath! ”
Seeing that she was so obsessed, Yang Hao couldn't help but be angry and funny, glanced at her coldly, and mocked in a weird way: "Your family likes to commit suicide so much? I don't think Ling Zu is from the Central Plains, Smecta. ”
Deng Xiu'er said dumbfoundedly: "What did you say?"
Yang Hao didn't want to bother with her anymore, so he flicked his sleeves into the car and said in a deep voice: "Go!" ”
"Don't you dare to swear?" Deng Xiu'er chased two steps, covered her chest and stood up, glaring at Yang Hao and his entourage slowly moving away, just thinking in her heart: "I can't imagine that even a delicate woman next to him has martial arts, I really shouldn't be so reckless." Today, I am a weak woman, and it will be difficult for me to kill him in the future. ”
Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered her aunt: "Yes, my aunt is a disciple of Huashan Dreamless Zhenren, I heard that the Dreamless Zhenren has a thorough creation ability, and she is the true disciple of the sleeping fairy Fuyaozi, my aunt is his disciple, and my skills will never be bad, when I bury my parents, I will go to Huashan to seek refuge with my aunt, follow my aunt as a teacher, practice martial arts, and then go to Nanya to take the head of this traitorous party!" ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Yang Hao boarded the car, still angry, Tang Yanyan said indignantly: "That woman surnamed Deng is so unreasonable, she really deserves to be the confused daughter trained by the foolish official, her father is in prison, and even her relatives are indifferent, only Brother Hao helps, but she repays virtue with resentment, what is the reason?" Brother Hao, why did you let her go? Such a bastard should be sent to the official for investigation and let her go to prison. ”
Wu Wa'er hurriedly persuaded: "Sister, don't be angry, there is nothing wrong with the officials handling it like this." She is a weak woman, how easy it is to be unfavorable to the officials, it is okay to let her go, if she is really sent to the official for investigation, alas! The death of her parents is really pitiful, and if she is imprisoned because of this, the people will inevitably talk about the officials. My sister also knows that most of the officials in the court are not very friendly to officials, and when the rumors spread, the things that the officials did not do will be passed on by people with noses and eyes, and it will inevitably give birth to a lot of right and wrong. ”
Tang Yanyan was even more angry when he heard this, and said: "I think when I was in Luzhou, I was so happy and hateful, I didn't expect to enter Tokyo City and give birth to so much idleness, Brother Hao, in my opinion, you don't do it, let's resign from the official and return to the mountains and forests, just with the dowry that my grandmother prepared for me, I can't starve to death." ”
Wu Wa'er covered her mouth and smiled: "The Tang family is rich and rivals the country, my sister's dowry must be rich, and my sister is incomparable, but even if it is my sister's private savings, if we want to ensure that our family is a few people to eat, it is enough for the flowers of the third and fifth generations, not to mention, our officials are not idle in Kaifeng Mansion except for demolishing the house, and our officials occupy the majority of the 'daughter and smile building', and there is no shortage of silver in our hands, what kind of wealth and wealth we can't enjoy?" It's just ......"
Her beautiful eyes glanced at Yang Haoyingying, and said leisurely: "A husband can't be without power for a day, whether we officials are willing to resign and become a rich man, it's hard to say, everything has to be decided by officials." ”
Yang Hao shook his head and said: "You ghost spirit, you know that I have nowhere to get out of the fire, so you pull me around to make me happy, are you really rare to be an official?" Alas! Others are officials for fear of being dismissed, but being an official for their husbands is not able to do it, I am now like Wu Ning Jiedu envoy Gao Jichong, right Qianniu Wei General Zhou Baoquan, this official has to do it, and if you don't do it, you have to do it, so what? ”
Wu Ning Jiedu made Gao Jichong, the right Qianniu Wei general Zhou Baoquan was originally the lord of a country in Jingnan and Hunan, and the Great Song Dynasty first went south and then north, and the first to destroy these two countries was the first to destroy them, and then their king was captured, and a nominal official was appointed, just to facilitate control, Yang Hao This is the first time to use this as a metaphor, this is a big taboo, only because the two women around him are the closest people to him, he dares to confide in them.
When Tang Yanyan heard this, he couldn't help but show a worried look, and Yang Hao comforted him when he saw it: "Don't worry, although my official is reluctant, he just lacks some freedom, what else...... There's nothing to worry about. ”
Tang Yanyan was full of worries, frowned a pair of eyebrows, and said worriedly: "How can you not be worried?" It turns out that the imperial court appointed you with an official position, just to confine you to the Beijing Division, and never regarded you as an official of the Great Song Dynasty, I didn't expect your situation in Kaifeng to be so sinister, you want to spend the day with Gao Duanchong and Zhou Baoquan, how can you live well? ”
Wu Wa'er became nervous and hurriedly said, "Why did my sister say that, do you know any news?" ”
Tang Yanyan said: "What kind of news is this, who in the world doesn't know?" Gao Jichong and Zhou Baoquan can keep safe, that's because they don't have a lady who is like a flower, why can't Meng Chang? Isn't it because there's a Lady Blossom? My family intends to marry me to the King of Jin, the doll is the first line of Bianliang, and I don't know how many people coveted it, since the Zhao official family has never regarded you as Song Chen at all, this is a big worry. ”
Yang Hao and Wu Wa'er were stunned, they didn't expect Tang Yanyan's thinking to jump so fast, this headless sentence was actually derived from this, the two glanced at each other, and couldn't help laughing, Tang Yanyan said angrily: "I'm worried about it here, what are you two laughing at?" ”
Wu Wa'er said breathlessly: "It turns out that my sister is worried that the official is accompanied by a charming beauty like you, and it will cause the official to end up like Meng Chang?" Well, it's the same, what kind of beauty is Mrs. Blossom's bottom, my sister has never seen it, but I think my sister will not be slightly inferior to her. ”
Yang Hao couldn't help but laugh and said: "Yes, a red face is enough to kill you, not to mention that I also have a pair of stunning beauties from you, this matter is indeed dangerous, huh...... It's really embarrassing. ”
Tang Yanyan was angry and ashamed, and said with a pause: "Who is laughing with you, I thought that my method of getting rid of King Jin was foolproof, and the court did not regard Brother Hao as its own courtier, so there would be no scruples, you said that Boss Zhao can do something to take his wife, and Zhao Boss can't do it?" ”
Wu Wa'er smiled, looked at Yang Hao and said, "What my sister said is also reasonable, officials must be guarded." ”
Yang Hao smiled slightly, gently hugged Yanyan's body, and comforted softly: "Yanyan always thinks about things wildly, hehe, with you by my side, I am really never afraid of no joy, you can rest assured, this trip to the south, painstaking efforts, is for 'everyone', but my own small family, I will not ignore it, your worries, I will never let it happen." ”
Tang Yanyan was held in his arms, and he couldn't see his face, but Wu Wa'er could see it clearly on the side, Yang Hao had a smile on his face, but his eyes flashed with an incomprehensible light.
After getting along for so long, Wu Wa'er knew that when this kind of light flashed in the eyes of his officials, he must be calculating something, but what he was thinking, the doll couldn't guess it.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Yang Hao still sent Bisu to fight the sharp, sometimes by boat, sometimes by car, before Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, to visit the Jianghuai provinces, all the way secretly visited, so that he was greatly satisfied.
The Sizhou Tun grain case really caused a huge shock in the Jianghuai area, the prefect of Sizhou and his wife died, and many grain-related officials and grain gentry in Sizhou were detained. The news is true or false, but objectively it is beneficial to Kaifeng to raise grain.
The grain gentry who have the strength to transport grain to Kaifeng by themselves try their best to transport the grain to Kaifeng and make a lot of money reasonably and legally, and those who do not have the strength to transport grain to Kaifeng by themselves will make friends with the treasury officials in many ways, hoping to sell it at a high price as much as possible, but there are the lessons of the Sizhou officials, and few of the government officials in various places dare to risk losing their lives and collude with them to break the law, although the purchase price is slightly higher than the market price, it is also within the range that the imperial court can afford.
On this day, from the south to the east to the territory of Huai'an, Yang Hao pretended to be a merchant and traveled by boat, Kankan left the canal, and traveled to a tributary of a fork river. The green mountains on both sides of the strait confront each other, the mountains are undulating, and the green water is reflected in the mountain shadows, which is a very beautiful place. The river channel is wide, the river is shallow, in addition to the feasible boat, there are clumps of wild grass and bamboo in the shallow water that extends to both banks, and sometimes there will be a small island in the water, but the palm is big, but the landscape is more elegant.
Wu Wa'er happily ran to the bow of the boat and said, "This place is full of wild fun, but it is a good place, official, come and see." ”
Yang Hao and Tang Yanyan also walked out of the warehouse, the bow of the boat broke the waves, the golden wind was cool, Yang Hao couldn't help but feel happy, and praised: "It's really a good place." ”
Wu Wa'er looked back and smiled: "Official, Huai'an is the last place, how many days can we spend here?" The yellow orange purple crab here is very famous, and you can try it just in time. ”
"Hehe, okay, now that the autumn grain has begun to be harvested, there is no need to worry about floods, droughts and insect disasters, you can estimate the number of grain harvested in advance, and the stored grain will be shipped to the capital first, and then the harvested grain will be shipped out one after another, there should be no more accidents, if the King of Wei is walking slowly, let's wait here for a few days, just take a break, and have a play."
Wu Wa'er was so excited that she took off her shoes and socks at the bow of the boat, dipped a pair of white feet into the clear and cool river water, and playfully swayed clusters of white waves. Yang Hao took the opportunity to wink at Yan Yan and laughed in a low voice: "Lady, you are going back to Beijing soon, the two of us...... When...... Hey hey ......"
Tang Yanyan glanced at the doll quickly, and said coyly: "There are so many people on the boat, wait...... I'll talk about it when I get back to Beijing. ”
Yang Hao rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said depressedly: "Do you want to wait until you return to Beijing?" I guard two beautiful women like flowers and jade every day, but I can't even eat a bite, and others also say that I am glamorous and blessed, which is really pitiful! ”
Tang Yanyan glanced at him, suddenly kissed him on the cheek quickly, and said with a shy: "Okay, okay, aren't people afraid of being snatched back by my brother to marry that old and shameless big bastard, as soon as we return to the capital, let's go to the church and get married, okay?" ”
Yang Hao smiled when he heard this, and was just about to open his mouth to agree, Tang Yanyan suddenly screamed in shame, and said suddenly: "Look at them, they are really peeking at us." ”
Yang Hao looked up and saw Zhang Niu'er, Lao Hei, and Xing'er standing on the second deck, holding on to the railing, stretching their necks, probably seeing him turn around, they all looked away at this time, but those two eyes were straight and unnatural.
Yang Hao was annoyed and angry: "These few people who don't open their eyes, go back and find an excuse, I have to send them all away, hey, do you still watch?" ”
Lao Hei lowered his head blankly: "Huh? See? Don't you look at it? It's so weird. ”
Yang Hao said angrily: "What's strange, haven't you seen it before?" ”
Lao Hei said: "Yes, the little one has fought all his life, but I have never seen an official fight with an official." ”
"Guan'er fights with officials?"
Yang Hao turned back in amazement, looked in the direction pointed by Lao Hei, and saw a grassland in the distance, dozens of small boats and bamboo rafts were trapped on the water, which was causing the flexure structure, penny and people on the shore to fight, Yang Hao hurriedly took a few steps forward, stood firmly on the bow of the boat and looked there, and the baby who was playing in the water also stood up and stood side by side with Tang Yanyan.
The boat was moving very fast, and it was close in a moment, Yang Hao fixed his eyes and saw that sure enough, there was an official in a cyan official uniform standing on a small boat, who was commanding people to fight with the people on the shore in a very angry manner. Among the big men on the shore also stood an official in a green robe, wearing a hat crookedly, roaring with red ears and red ears on the front, and jumping to his feet to call for people to stop all the people on the river.
Yang Hao was surprised and surprised, officials and officials fought with people like this, and he was also the first time to see it, here is close to Wu Yue Kingdom to the east, and Tang Kingdom is to the south, could it be ...... One of these two officials is not a person from the Great Song Dynasty?
Thinking like this, Yang Hao also became nervous, and hurriedly waved his hand to ask someone to stop the boat, and wait until he figured it out.
At this time, the people on the bamboo raft of the small boat had already discovered the boat they were approaching quickly, and more than a dozen hooks and pennies had been aimed at Yang Hao who was standing on the bow of the boat. Yang Hao looked at the shore, only to see that those people on the shore also stopped, looking at him with a suspicious face.
The green-robed official on the shore was about forty years old, and he looked still energetic, and the quail embroidered on the official robe was covered with mud, and it was crumpled and unspeakably ugly. The blue-robed officer standing at the bow of the boat was about fifty years old, with a round body and a naturally festive face, and he also looked at him vigilantly at this time.
One of the strong men holding the sharp penny to hold the big boat shouted, "Stop, what are you doing?" ”
Yang Hao looked at the "quail" on the shore, and then at the "quail" on the boat, and for a moment he couldn't help but ask blankly: "You guys...... Which part is it? ”
The chubby official at the bow of the boat said angrily: "You bold and unruly people, did the official ask you, or did you ask the official?" ”
Yang Hao took a breath, looked back at Xing'er who had just run off the boat and said, "Go, take the official's official uniform." ”
"Yes, sir!" Xing'er twisted her delicate body, ran back to the cabin, took the official clothes and hats in a moment, and put them on for Yang Hao with dolls and flames at the bow of the boat, wearing a crimson official robe, a blue black gauze official hat, and a soap boot robe belt one by one.
Zhang Niu'er stood beside Yang Hao, straightened his chest and belly, and shouted loudly: "I am ordered to be sent to Qincha, Hezhou Defense, Doctor Youwu, and Yang Hao, the envoy of the Fire Courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion, Lord Yang is here, and the two officials below are the officials of the Yamen, and they have not come forward to see my family, please ask for a salute and report your identity!" ”
