As Yue Yang gave an order, two murderous soldiers immediately walked over, each of them stretched out a hand and grabbed his arm, about to drag him away.

At this time, the leopard's head has long lost the bravery of the past, and his bravery is true, but it is very brave when he takes the lives of others, and his original form is revealed when it is his turn.

The leopard's head, whose hands were tied, struggled desperately under the drag of the two soldiers, and all the tears and snot on his face flowed out, only to see him hissing and shouting with all his might: "Shopkeeper Lin, the owner...... Help me, help me, I don't want to die yet! ”

Looking at the head of the leopard rolling and shouting like a scoundrel, Lin Yuanteng closed his eyes in pain, now he is unable to protect himself, where can he take care of others.

The leopard's head, which knew that his life had come to an end, was terrified, and he desperately rolled on the ground to prevent the soldiers from catching him, and the last officer and soldier were annoyed, and turned the fire gun upside down and smashed it heavily on his head with the butt of the gun, and the hard walnut butt hit the head of the leopard with a dull sound. Rao is leopard's head and body were strong, but he was also smashed to the ground, and his head was bleeding, and he was finally dragged away by two soldiers like a dead dog.

A few minutes later, the former famous man in Lu Zikou was beheaded, and his head was hung on the gate to intimidate everyone......

Yue Yang did not stop after looking at the leopard's head, for fear that he would have a long night and many dreams, he would also cut off the heads of several leaders such as Lin Yuanteng, and the remaining more than 100 evil slaves were all sent to the mine by him, and they would spend the rest of their lives in the mine. In the next half month, Yue Yang led an army of 3,000 to sweep all the hundreds of miles around Luzikou, sweeping away more than a dozen black forces entrenched here. At this point, Lu Zi's eloquence really fell into the hands of him and a kind of businessman.

Seeing Yue Yang was like a thunderbolt. Many merchants who followed him into the mountain were both respectful and afraid, and from this moment on, Yueyang's prestige was officially established in their hearts. Yue Yang's proposals, such as building roads and building housing for miners, were also agreed to. And in this operation, Yueyang also got a good news, that is, there is a high-quality open-pit coal mine in a place in Luzikou. This made Yue Yang very happy, although he knew that Shanxi was a major coal mining province, but he didn't expect that he could dig out a coal mine with just a dig, this luck was so good that it was off the charts, and it was difficult to think about it without making money.

On the fifth day of the ninth month of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Yue Yang led the army and many businessmen to return to Yingzhou City with joy. In this dispatch, all of them have benefited, although the largest one has been eaten by Yue Yang, but the merchants do not think it is strange, after all, it is Yue Yang who has contributed the most in this piece, and they will only feel strange if they don't take the lion's share.

Yue Yang returned home after being separated from the others. As soon as he walked into the house, he saw the new butler hurriedly say to him: "Master, the court has sent an angel to see you, and I have been waiting for you for several days. ”

"Angel, where did the angel come from?" Yue Yang was stunned for a moment, and then he reflected that this angel was not the angel with two wings as later generations said, but a person sent by the imperial court to convey the emperor's will. It is generally an official of the Ministry of Rites, or it may be a eunuch, depending on the object and content of the decree.

Yue Yang hurriedly asked, "Who is the angel who came this time?" ”

Because Yue Yang's career is getting bigger and bigger, Yue Laifu has more and more things to manage, and he no longer has the energy to take care of the position of the housekeeper of the Yue Mansion, so Yue Yang promoted one of the original stewards of the Yue Mansion to the chief butler of his father-in-law.

The newly appointed housekeeper's name was Cao Youqian, and when Yue Yang heard the name for the first time, he almost burst out laughing, "rich...... What a strange name it must have to be. However, although the name Cao Youqian is very happy, his ability is still very good, and he is also trustworthy in terms of loyalty. Therefore, Yue Yang handed over the position of father-in-law's housekeeper to him.

Now after Cao Youqian heard Yue Yang's words, he hurriedly whispered: "Master, it's a father-in-law." ”

"Father-in-law?" Yue Yang thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, take me to see the father-in-law from the capital." ”

"Yes!"

Soon. Yue Yang was led by Cao Youqian to the side hall dedicated to entertaining guests. When Yue Yang entered the side hall, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a blue eunuch costume and embroidered with waves on his cuffs, sitting in the living room drinking tea, and next to him, a young eunuch in his teens was standing with a package on the side. After seeing Yue Yang come in, this person stood up and said to him with a smile: "This must be Lord Yue Zheng, you let our family wait!" ”

Yue Yang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said to him: "Yingzhou Ethics Yue Yang has seen his father-in-law, and he hasn't asked his father-in-law how to call him." ”

The eunuch chuckled and said, "Cao Huachun, the eunuch of our family's imperial horse supervisor, is a nobody, but it made Lord Yue laugh. ”

"Cao Huachun?" Yue Yang snorted, damn, he is another historical celebrity. Yue Yang first knew this name in the "Blue Blood Sword" written by the old man Jin, in this novel, the old man Jin wrote Cao Huachun as a greedy and afraid of death to open the city gate and surrender Li Zicheng's villain, until later when he grew up, Yue Yang knew that the relationship was made up, when Li Zicheng entered the city of Beijing, the Tianjin Shouxiao in front of him, who was hundreds of kilometers away, where did he have the ability to open the door to the enemy.

Later, Yue Yang read some historical materials, and only learned that this person was not only not a greedy person who was afraid of death, but also a good person who was knowledgeable and loyal, and was responsible for dealing with Wei Zhongxian's unjust cases at the beginning of Chongzhen's ascension to the throne, and helped civil officials rehabilitate Zhaoxue more than 2,000 cases. It's a pity that those civil officials are a group of white-eyed wolves, not only do they not know Entu, but they also forget it, and after more than ten years, they forced the infamy of a "Kaicheng arsonist" on his head, so that this person died of depression, and the shamelessness of the civil official group can be seen in general.

After recalling the deeds of this eunuch, Yue Yang's good impression of him couldn't help but increase, and he smiled and said: "Gonggong Cao, Xiaguan has been busy going into the mountains to suppress bandits today, and I don't know that the angel is coming, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

Cao Huachun is a eunuch who is the eunuch of the imperial horse, which is an official position from the fourth grade, which is much higher than that of Yue Yang, a six-rank integrity officer, so there is nothing wrong with him calling himself a lower official.

Cao Huachun looked at Yue Yang, and saw that Yue Yang was young and delicate, and he looked even more heroic after wearing a suit of armor all over his body, he nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Lord Yue, our family heard the emperor praise you before leaving Beijing, saying that you are brave, resourceful and wealthy, and the emperor admires you very much!" ”

"This ...... The emperor has won the prize! As soon as Yue Yang heard this, a layer of fine sweat broke out on his forehead. It is a good thing to be praised by the emperor for being brave and resourceful, but it is not a good thing to be considered by the emperor to be wealthy, and this is a sign that he will break his fortune.

But fortunately, Cao Huachun didn't say anything to him on this issue, but stretched out his hand, and the little eunuch next to him quickly took out a book similar to a fold from the package and handed it to him. Cao Huachun took the thing and said to Yue Yang with a smile; "Lord Yue, last month, Lord Xu, the governor of Shanxi, handed the emperor a fold, and praised you very much, saying that you can produce thousands of catties per mu here, which is really an auspicious omen.

What, promoted? Yue Yang didn't think too much, and quickly knelt down and shouted loudly: "Thank you!" ”

"Get up." After seeing Yue Yang kneeling, Cao Huachun smiled and waved his hand to let Yue Yang get up, and handed him the fold in his hand.

Yue Yang took the fold and quickly opened it to take a look, and now it was just an official document, which was simply written: Yue Yang, the official of the Yingzhou Mansion, was appointed as the Yingzhou Garrison Yunyun, and there was a big seal and date of the officials on it, and there was nothing else.

Yue Yang couldn't help but look a little strange, and asked puzzledly, "Gonggong Cao, is this the emperor's holy decree?" ”

"Divine Decree...... Who sues you sΓΉ This is the emperor's holy decree. Cao Huachun was also stunned.

"It's not...... Isn't this the emperor's holy decree to promote the lower officials, why is it not a holy decree? Yue Yang was slightly taken aback, he had never seen the holy decree of Emperor Lao Tzu so old in his life, just now he was thinking about opening his eyes after receiving the holy decree, who knew that it was an official document.

"You ......" Cao Huachun was stunned for a while, then pointed at Yue Yang and laughed, "Hahaha......"

Then, not only Cao Huachun, but also the little eunuch standing on the side couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Cao Huachun laughing so differently, Yue Yang also knew that he was probably making jokes again. But fortunately, Cao Huachun didn't laugh for long, and soon stopped laughing, pointing at Yue Yangjun and shaking his head: "You...... Our family has never seen such an interesting person as you, what do you think the emperor's decree is, the cabbage on the street, any person can receive the emperor's decree. ”

After Cao Huachun's explanation, Yue Yang knew that he was really a joke. As a display and symbol of the power of the ancient emperors, the issuance of the holy decree was strictly regulated, and not everyone was qualified to receive the holy decree. For example, a six-rank petty official like Yue Yang, under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to directly receive the will from the emperor. It is the same as a certain department-level cadre in later generations, who will not be able to receive direct orders from the central government in his lifetime, after all, the difference in rank between the two sides is too great, and even if there is anything, it can be conveyed through the departments below.

"Grass, it's a shame now." After listening to Cao Huachun's explanation, Rao is Yueyang's face was quite thick, and he also became a little hot.

But then Yue Yang had another question, since it was not to convey the emperor's will, why did Cao Huachun, Chongzhen's henchman and eunuch, come all the way here?
