Yang He walked to the bed with a calm face, lifted the curtains, and Ru Chengming lay naked ** on his back inside, sleeping soundly without waking up. The crowd of onlookers exclaimed, "Ouch! There's a man lying inside! ”

"What's so strange about that? I just came out of Hanchun Courtyard, so why bother to carry a bed! Maybe there's a little girl who is smart! ”

Yang He agreed to Shen Yikui's request and brought Ru Chengming, Zhang Mengjin, and Huang Youcai back to Xi'an to try to get rid of them. He left the general Wu Hongqi and the garrison Fan Li to assist Zhizhou to defend the city on Sunday, and Cai Jiuyi led a team of personal soldiers to return to Xi'an. Ningzhou is more than 1,000 miles away from Xi'an, and it takes half a month to get faster. At this time, it is the season of spring flowers, everything is new, green all over the mountains, and it is most easy to sprout spring. Yang He left the two fans in Xi'an to Shen Yikui, Ru Chengming and the three of them have been frolicking with them for days, just tasted the sweetness of women, the road is quite lonely and lonely, rushing every day during the day, and going to the post station to rest in the dark, it is really boring. The spring night is still long, the cloth is cold and lonely, Ru Chengming is lying in the dilapidated guest room of the post station, feeling even more anxious, I can't wait to put on my wings and fly to Xi'an for a while, have a good time! After Sanshui, Chunhua, Ganquan, Yijun, Tongguan, it was really hard to walk, in front of Yaozhou City, Ru Cheng shouted to go into the city to rest for two days, looking for fun. Although Yang He said that he was guarded by Cai Jiuyi, he was also afraid that Ru Cheng's fate would be wild and difficult to tame, and he had reached the boundary of Xi'an Mansion, and he would be done with patience for a few more days.

Yaozhou belongs to the jurisdiction of Xi'an Prefecture, the celadon fired is as clever as Fan Jin, fine than jade, famous all over the world, it is a prosperous commercial port, the city is densely populated, merchants gather, shops are numerous, department stores compete for display. Geng Tingqi, the governor of Yaozhou, got the news and lined up outside the city gate early to greet him, and let the state Yateng out for the governor Yang He and his party to live temporarily. Yaozhou is worthy of being a famous town in ancient times, and Geng Tingqi has a good political voice, and he governs Yaozhou in an orderly manner, and there is no sign of suffering from banditry. The state government is built very broadly, the front square, the building, the door, the road, the ancient pavilion, the east and west department, the lobby and the east and west ear room, the second hall, the inner house, the east house, the Jingyi Xuan, the back house and so on. In the evening, the banquet was very rich, Geng Tingzhen specially summoned an official prostitute to drink, the wine was half-drunk, Ru Chengming was a little drunk, and he couldn't bear it, so he got up and hugged his fists and asked: "Zhizhou Lao, master, we, we have something to ask for, please you." ”

Geng Tingqi has learned the details of these three people from Yang He, first, to see the face of the governor, and secondly, he also knows that they were born in the green forest, and they used to be the devil who killed people without blinking, and now although they are recruited to return to obedience, after all, the wildness has not been eliminated, although they look down on them in their hearts, but they dare not easily excuse themselves, and their faces are piled up and bowed: "Although there is something to say, it seems to be so polite, you and I are both under the command of the military gate, how can there be a second master in front of the adult?" It's better to be a brother. ”

"We, can we have kilns and kilns in Yaozhou City?"

"Brother Ru is talking about the earthen kiln where celadon is fired? There are still a few, but the secret recipe has been lost for I don't know how many years, and the porcelain fired out is really rough, far worse than the Tang and Song dynasties. Zhizhou shook his head and sighed, with a sadness and decadence on his face that he was talking about the rise and fall and the prosperity was no longer prosperous.

"What a secret, a secret recipe porcelain, no, no, where can we take care of those rags! We're talking about places where you can have fun. ”

Geng Tingqi turned his head and glanced at Yang He, and said embarrassedly: "It turns out that what I said is, it's that, and the little brother really doesn't know." ”

Ru Chengming put the wine glass on the table, rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "We, we don't believe it!" Yaozhou City is so prosperous, there are not many kilns to visit? Dare not treat us as brothers. ”

"Where is this? Brother will never be like this......" Geng Tingqi looked at Yang He, very frightened, and a lot of sweat appeared on his face.

Yang He coughed lightly and said, "You two have misunderstood." The name of the kiln said by Fame is vulgar, and Guizhou naturally doesn't understand. In fact, the Qinglou is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, there are scholars, there are long three, there are two, and there are private nests, and the kiln is a private nest, which is the lowest level of secret prostitution. Some suffering people can't get by, and often set up private prostitution dens, which is also a helpless thing, and the people take food as the sky! He took a sip of tea, and then said: "The origin of prostitutes is very ancient, and the history books say that Guan Zizhi is Qi, and he has 700 women, and he takes the capital of the night to enrich the country, and it is also recorded that Goujian, the king of Yue, gathers the widows who are at fault on the mountain, so that the worries of the scholars are amused to entertain them. Emperor Taizu Gao made the capital of Nanjing, and also built the sixteenth floor of Huayue and Chunfeng as official prostitutes, which were managed by the Department of Teaching and Workshop. After the Yongle Dynasty, prostitutes flourished. On both sides of Qinhuai, there are many river houses, bead curtains are dotted with green, and the courtyard is fragrant. As soon as a guest arrives, the knocker is half-opened, the bead foil hangs low, the fake mother is welcome, the maid is around, the long banquet is long, and the daily cost is a thousand gold. Quartet wanderers and merchants, even the past eunuchs are also flocking to it, although the court has rules, it is helpless to stop repeatedly banning, and there is a reason in people's desires! ”

"Your Excellency!" Geng Tingqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and praised: "It's rare for an adult to open the hole so thoroughly, and there are a few green buildings in Yaozhou. The elder brother insists on going, how about the younger brother send a servant to lead the way? ”

"No need, our brother will find it on his own, it's more interesting."

Zhang Mengjin and Huang Youcai got up together and said, "The two of us will accompany my brother, but the military gate is relaxed." ”

"In this way, I will be lost, the younger brother still has some official affairs to tell the military lord, the three of them will do their own thing!" Geng Tingqi arched his hand, Ru Cheng ordered the three of them to bow to Yang He and leave, Yang He raised his hand and said: "I changed into civilian clothes, so as not to disturb the people." ”

At the beginning of the lanterns, the red lights hang high on the willow-shaded street, half a mile away, under the shade of the weeping willows on both sides, the courtyard is deep and wide, the gatehouse is tall, and it is the famous fireworks and willow lane in Yaozhou City. At the turn of spring and summer, the warm breeze is smoky, and the night is intoxicating, which is a godsend for merry and happy. In the courtyards of the houses on the street, there was a sound of silk bamboo and laughter, and in the middle there were guessing orders, singing songs and drinking, and there were endless ears. Ru Chengming ordered the three of them to wander around the street, and in the prostitutes along the door, they chose a family with a large plaque with black letters on the door, and the people in front of this house came and went, and it was the most lively. Stepping into the courtyard, the turtle slave greeted him with a smile and said affectionately: "Three masters, can there be a good girl?" ”

"What's so wordy, which girl is good to call the uncle!" Ru Chengming and the three of them walked into the hall in a big way, and sat down to drink tea. The turtle slave saw that they had a sideways face and were full of gangsterism, not like the style of a regular customer in the Qinglou, and he didn't know where to go, so he excused himself and said, "Oops! The three uncles, it's really unfortunate, today's business is really good, and the girl has given the guests a bag. If you want to make a dry tea around, you can also arrange, if you stay overnight, is it to go elsewhere......"

"As soon as you entered the door, did you drive the uncle away? Who doesn't know that the girl Shui Ling on Liuyin Street belongs here! Do you think the uncle has no money? Open your eyes wide and see clearly! Ru Chengming took out a silver ingot of five taels and slapped it on the table, and said with a cruel smile: "Go and call your top lady to serve the uncle!" ”

"The top card? Uncle only buys two stones of japonica rice with this little silver, which is not enough to reward the top maid! The turtle slave slanted at the silver, and snorted coldly: "The three of them thought that this Hanchun courtyard was a pheasant kiln, so they would make a nail to relieve the boredom, and they couldn't make a few pennies, and they would eat a bowl of our Yaozhou's wowo noodles before leaving?" You can see more clearly, this is a famous gold cave in Yaozhou. ”

"That's enough!" Huang Youcai threw out a golden emerald pearl flower, which was plucked from his wife's head when he killed Du Wenhuan's whole family, and the gold was forged into the shape of a colorful phoenix, and a bean-sized ruby was embedded on the phoenix, which was brilliant and crystalline.

The turtle slave took the bead flower in his hand and said with a light smile: "If there are few customers on weekdays, it will be there, but not tonight, the top girl of Hanchun Courtyard Su'e happens to have guests." ”

"Where's the guest? When the uncle comes, he is the master, tell him to get out of the house and make room for the uncle. ”

"Uncle said it lightly! The two brothers-in-law can't afford to offend, people come all the way from the south of the Yangtze River, they are all big merchants, some are silver, people often say that sisters love pretty, bustards love money, who in the world still can't get along with silver? ”

Ru Cheng's leopard eyes glared, and he roared: "Uncle put a fire, see if he rolls!" Zhang Mengjin and Huang Youcai got up and went down to the kitchen to get fire, and the turtle slave was shocked and shouted at the top of his voice: "Where are ---- people are smashing the field!" Suddenly, seven or eight handymen armed with sticks came in from outside the door, and surrounded the three men. Ru Chengming laughed wildly and shouted: "You rats who don't know whether you are alive or dead, and you don't inquire about the origin of the uncle, you annoyed the uncle, and you will dig out your hearts and livers one by one!" He kicked the table over, and the teapot and bowl on the table shattered. When everyone saw that he was fierce and fierce, they did not dare to come forward, and the turtle slave was so frightened that he fled out of the door.

"Ouch---- this uncle and dissipate his anger! Since you want to find Miss Su'e, why don't you come in and talk? A woman covered in balsam came out of the house with a smile, in her early thirties, drank and retired from the miscellaneous servants, swayed and approached Ru Chengming, stretched out a white and tender hand around his waist a little, Ru Chengming suddenly felt sore, and most of his anger disappeared, and said: "Since the head of the house is here, the words are naturally easy to say." ”

The bustard's mother smiled and pulled him to sit side by side, and said softly: "A hero like the uncle, it is naturally her blessing to be able to look up to Su'e, where do you dare to delay?" It's really lazy to teach the uncle to sit and wait like this. It's just that the uncle didn't greet in advance, the two old customers one did silk business, the other bought and sold private salt, two days ago from Hangzhou came all the way to find Su'e, it was the time of strong love, and people were willing to make a lot of silver, and it was not easy to push out. In this chaotic year, it is not easy for a woman's family to open this small Hanchun courtyard. The uncle has the right to pity the slave family, including one or two. ”

Ru Chengming touched the buttocks of the bustard mother, and scolded indignantly: "That slave who doesn't know how to lift, relying on whose momentum he has, but he wants to play majestic!" What kind of character is Uncle? Even your Zhizhou Geng's parents also take a high look, and tomorrow they will issue cards and seal the courtyard to take people, and teach you to eat the silver in your mouth and spit it out! ”

"Ouch---- Uncle is angry, his fierce appearance is so scary, and when my daughter Su'e sees it later, her bones are scared and weak, how can you serve Uncle?" The bustard's mother used amorous means, rubbed Ru Chengming a few times, and said: "It's all that dead turtle boy who said unpleasant things and offended the uncle." Uncle and patient, wait a while, the slave family will make room for the uncle! He turned around and beckoned: "Tell the kitchen to set up a neat table of banquets and make amends to the three masters." ”

The Su'e girl is really good at color and art, and she is afraid that Ru Cheng's life will be ruthless, and she will do her best to welcome her, and she lingers until midnight, Ru Cheng's life simply rests in Hanchun Courtyard, and she does not return to the state government despite the hard persuasion of Zhang Mengjin and Huang Youcai. The next day, Yang He and others got up and prepared to leave, but only saw Zhang Mengjin and Huang Youcai, speculating that Ru Chengming had not returned overnight, and ordered the two to urge. Yang He was furious and shouted: "I don't know what to do, bring it to me!" "In a short time, more than a dozen soldiers have already brought Ru Cheng's life here, please ask how to deal with it. Yang He thought that many soldiers were carrying people out of the Qinglou brothel, which was bound to cause a sensation in the entire Yaozhou City, and tens of thousands of people were empty alleys, vying to see the spectacle, and sneered: "Stand by in front of the ya." "Led Cai Yijiu and other entourage, and Geng Tingqi came out together, and saw that there was a rosewood shelf acacia bed of the moon cave door under the archway in front of the yamen, and there were a lot of people who watched the excitement in front of the yamen, and there were also passers-by who stopped to watch, gathering more and more, whispering, and discussing.

Yang He walked to the bed with a calm face, lifted the curtains, and Ru Chengming lay naked ** on his back inside, sleeping soundly without waking up. The crowd of onlookers exclaimed, "Ouch! There's a man lying inside! ”

"What's so strange about that? I just came out of Hanchun Courtyard, so why bother to carry a bed! Maybe there's a little girl who is smart! ”

"The girls of Hanchun Courtyard are one of the three uniques, and they are all selected from Datong Mansion, but they are not in vain."

"What are the three musts?"

"Jizhen city wall, Xuanfu teaching field, Datong mother-in-law."

"What does that mean?"

"The city wall of Jizhen is thick, the teaching field of Xuanfu is large, and the mother-in-law of Datong is beautiful!"

Yang He listened to their gossip and shouting, knowing that the matter was making a big fuss and spreading out, it was difficult to reply in front of the emperor, and he wanted to return to Xi'an to do it again, but it seemed that he couldn't delay any longer, he secretly hated in his heart: "Ru Cheng's life, it's all your own sin, so I have to send you on the road as soon as possible." As soon as the murderous intent arose, he turned back to Geng Tingzhen and said, "I have to bother Guizhou for another day." Someone! Give me a promotion, today the headquarters will be disciplined and give an explanation to the people of Yaozhou! ”

The entourage brought tables and chairs, Geng Tingqiu, Cai Yijiu and others stood left and right, Yang He sat down, and said sharply: "Escort Ru Cheng's life to the front!" ”

The soldier was puzzled: "He, he has no clothes!" ”

The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter, and some people salivated: "If there is a little girl without clothes on the bed, smooth and white and tender, then it will be good!" A feast for the eyes and save money. ”

Yang He glared at the soldier, and the soldier also knew that he was speechless, and was busy putting on Ru Chengming's clothes, but he still didn't wake up after such a toss. Yang He commanded: "Fetch water!" ”

A basin of cold water was splashed down, Ru Cheng fell into soup like a chicken, woke up excitedly, yawned and said, "It's raining so hard!" The crowd burst into laughter again, and the soldier shoved him forward, shouting, "Get down on your knees!" ”

"Ru Chengming, are you guilty?" Yang He's face was as cold as frost.

"What sin am I, what am I?"

"Staying in a prostitute at night, violating my orders, and quibbling!"

"I, I'm going to the Spring Breeze and the Wind Courtyard with the permission of adults, and I'm naturally innocent and guiltless."

Yang He was so angry that his beard trembled, and he scolded with his halberd finger: "Nonsense! You damn bandit, the headquarters tried its best to promote you as a man, asked the court for appeasement, and gave you a fortune, but you didn't know how to repay the rewards, disturbed the people's livelihood, blamed the officials, and according to the law, you should be severely punished with a military stick and an arrow to the camp. ”

When everyone heard that Ru Chengming was a thief, they were shocked and shouted and beat one after another, Ru Chengming rolled his strange eyes, raised his big fist in a vinegar bowl, shook it and said: "Grandpa, if in the past, kill a chicken and dog early." Look at you, how dare you scream! ”

"Bold dog, so arrogant! Twenty in the palm of your mouth! ”

A soldier approached Ru Chengming with a wooden plank in his hand, and was about to be executed, Ru Chengming flew up and kicked him over, and roared angrily: "Yang He Lao'er, grandpa descended to you just to be happy, eat meat in a big piece, drink wine in a big bowl, you have wine and meat, let's respect you as an adult, if you go to a kiln, you have to discipline you, why bother to put on this tattered armor, it is better to fall into the grass freely!" ”

"Take it for me!" Yang He's face was pale, and he took the case, these few words were stabbing at his sore spot, remembering his own high arguments back then: If the food and salary are used for suppression, they will never return, and if they kill too many people, they will also hurt their anger. It's better to use it for care, saving a person is to get a life. Stealing the peace of the people, the merit is immeasurable. Unexpectedly, these thieves did not appreciate it, and secretly regretted that they should not be soft on them, and they spent a lot of hard work in vain. In the past two years or so, there has been a lot of food and salary spent on recruitment, but those rogues who have been torn and rebellious seem to be born rebellious, and it is really difficult to be reformed, and they cannot be pitied. Between the lightning and flint, Yang He thought about the more than two years of appeasement experience, and his heart felt sore.

At this time, Ru Chengming shouted loudly and jumped up, but Cai Yijiu had already floated behind him ghostly, stretched out his hand and patted the big vertebral point on his back, Ru Chengming snorted and fell to the ground. Zhang Mengjin and Huang Youcai both jumped up and tried their best to save them, and all the soldiers stopped them outside the circle with knives and guns. Take them all! ”

Cai Yijiu knocked over Ru Chengming, and was about to go over to get someone again, but Ru Chengming rolled on the spot, hugged his legs with both hands, and shouted loudly: "Brother, go quickly!" ”

Zhang Mengjin and Huang Youcai were stunned, and hurriedly rushed out to kill, the soldiers couldn't stop them, seeing that they escaped a few zhang away, Cai Yijiu's right palm slapped down, Ru Chengming spurted out a mouthful of blood, and shouted: "Brother, avenge my brother----" Cai Yijiu saw that he couldn't break free, and reached out to take out a hidden weapon to shoot the two, and was afraid of hurting the onlookers, so he hesitated for a moment, Zhang Mengjin and Huang Youcai had fled without a trace. All the soldiers rushed up and chopped Ru Cheng's life into meat sauce. Zhang Mengjin and Huang Youcai ran all the way and escaped from Yaozhou City, afraid of chasing soldiers, they did not dare to take the official road, chose a path with few pedestrians, walked day and night, and secretly sneaked back to Ningzhou City.

Since Yang He left, Shen Yikui took two fans to have fun every day, Liu Hongru and Liu Jin were not good at competing for each other, so they went to prostitution together. Zhang Mengjin and Huang Youcai pretended to be begging beggars, stepped on the plate, waited outside the door of the prostitute's house, and took advantage of Liu Hongru and Liu Jin's unpreparedness to send them away with a knife in the back. In a secluded place, he cut off the heads of the two of them, wrapped them in a bag, stripped off his clothes and armor, opened the gate of the camp of the gods, dragged him out of bed, two bright steel knives rested on his neck, and the two powder heads were so frightened that they hid in the quilt and shivered.

Huang Youcai sneered: "Big Master, I have been living happily these days, and I have forgotten about our brothers. ”

Shen Yikui was a thief, and forced himself to calm down: "Why are you two? Can the famous brother come back? ”

Zhang Mengjin cried: "Big boss, Brother Ru can't come back." He, he killed the old thief Yang He. Whining...... Big Master, why do you want to teach the three of us to go to Xi'an, otherwise Brother Ru won't be able to die. ”

"But why do you three want to go and blame me?"

"The big master, why did we need to recruit peace at the beginning, at that time, we gathered in the mountains and forests all day long, attacked the city and pulled out the village, shared gold and silver with the brothers, and ate wine and meat, how comfortable and happy? But he had to suffer from Yang He's old thief's idleness, and he also harmed Brother Ru's life! Now the official army doesn't treat us as human beings, and my brother is blindly obsessed, aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of my brothers? ”

Shen Yikui put away the steel knife, took his clothes and said: "What Brother Huang said is also one-sided, we are in the green forest, what we admire is the loyal and righteous Master Guan, when recruiting An, we swore a poisonous oath in front of Emperor Guan, gambled on the blood curse, how can we lose our trust to others?" Besides, the court is not thin on us, Yang Junmen is an elegant gentleman, and he has never underestimated us, but Ru Cheng's old illness has relapsed and annoyed adults? ”

"No matter what, Brother Ru is not guilty of death, and he can't die in vain." Huang Youcai slashed the corner of the table and persuaded: "The big master, now Lao Huihui, Ba Kong, Heavenly Monkey, as well as Wang Jiayin, Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong, and Li Zicheng are making a lot of trouble in Shanxi, so let's pull up the pole and go there." ”

"Go to you, I won't stop you." Shen Yikui shook his head and said: "The imperial court is also graceful enough, how many people have we killed!" Du Wenhuan's family, old and young, has nearly 300 lives, and the killing is too heavy, and they will be punished. ”

Huang Youcai sneered: "We respect you as the big master, we want to cross the world together, happy life, but I don't want to be confused by the two **, greedy for comfort and wealth." The brother went to these burdens for his brother, and saw what else his brother was worried about? He stepped in front of the bed, raised his knife and chopped indiscriminately, and the two fans screamed miserably, and the fragrance disappeared in an instant.

Shen Yikui couldn't stop it, his face was red and white, and he couldn't have a seizure. Huang Youcai smiled and said, "People are also killed, my brother still doesn't want to leave?" ”

Shen Yikui hesitated and said: "Call Liu Jin and Liu Hongru to discuss together, and they are not in a hurry to stay overnight." ”

Zhang Mengjin said indifferently: "We are worried that the two of them will make a mistake, so we have killed them." As he spoke, he threw the burden behind him to the ground, and rolled out two bloody human heads, which were Liu Jin and Liu Hongru, and their eyes widened in surprise.

Shen Yikui saw that there was no helper, and the matter had come to this point, Ningzhou City couldn't stay any longer, so he had to nod and agree. The three of them robbed the general Wu Hongqi and the deputy garrison Fan Li overnight, burned the barracks, and fled north with their subordinates to capture Ningsai.
