Chapter 82: The Station
"Gong Jin-this Han Xuan doesn't seem to be willing to hand over this Taishou position! We've been in Yangzhou for three days, and we haven't even seen his figure, and every time it's closed! It seems that we need to think of other ways-" Cheng Yu said while sitting in the Yangzhou post station, drinking tea.
"There's no hurry—wait until Ann comes back next week to see how things go! This old boy, he can hide from the first day of junior high school, but he can't hide from fifteen-" Zhou Yu crossed the river and arrived in Yangzhou, but he was not in a hurry, he had nothing to do these days, so he went out to borrow a stroll to see how the lives of the people were? However, this Han Xuan's voice is really not good in Yangzhou, that is, he belongs to the kind of official who is not good or bad, and he does not bully the people clearly, nor does he seek benefits for the people. It's just that there is one thing that Zhou Yu doesn't understand, as long as Luoyang sells the official position at a price, then there will be a special person to inform the person in the previous official position to prepare to leave, but this Han Xuan doesn't know what medicine is sold in the gourd!
"Second brother, according to me, it's better for me to go to that bullshit Taishou Mansion alone, catch that bullshit Taishou and drag it in front of you, and see if he dares to play music for you!" After coming to Yangzhou, Dian Wei took a group of guards to join Zhou Yu, and Tong Yuan quietly left when they were greeting! With Dian Wei's personal training, these more than 100 guards are fierce!
"Brother Dian, don't talk about this! Gong Jin has his own plans in his heart-let's two brothers drink first-" Guo Jia hurriedly stopped Dian Wei, really afraid that Dian Wei's temper would come up and turn the Taishou Mansion upside down.
"Hey—there's no panting in there, come out with one!" Suddenly, a shrill voice rang out outside.
"Uh-what does this father-in-law command? The small one is the head of this caravanserais. The little official of the post station hurriedly ran out to take a look, and it turned out to be a team of officers and soldiers, led by a eunuch.
"Our family asks you how to get to Yangzhou Taishou Mansion? There are also good meals prepared for these horses and horses in our family, and someone will be sent to lead the way to Yangzhou Taishou Mansion. The eunuch who spoke was helped off his horse and rubbed his buttocks vigorously.
"Okay - the little ones will be ready right away! My father-in-law will sit down and take a sip of tea first! The head of the inn immediately turned back and told the others to prepare their things.
Zhou Yu, Cheng Yu, and Guo Jia tilted their heads to look at the eunuch who walked in, and saw that he was carrying a yellow cloth wrapped box on his back, and the three of them had a thought in their hearts, it must be that the imperial court has arrived with a holy decree!
The three exchanged glances, and Zhou Yu got up and walked towards the table of the father-in-law who was delivering the decree.
"Who- stop!" Before Zhou Yu could get closer, he was stopped by the guards sitting around, and they all drew their knives and looked at Zhou Yu vigilantly.
"Just now, the lower official heard that this father-in-law was going to Yangzhou Taishou Mansion, but His Majesty's holy decree has arrived?" Zhou Yu stopped walking forward and began to ask.
"Who are you? It seems that you are also an official, I don't know what official you are in Yangzhou? When the eunuch heard Zhou Yu's words, he suddenly felt a little more at ease, he rushed all the way from Luoyang to Yangzhou, although there were guards to follow, but he always felt that his heart was not steady, and he was afraid of encountering the Taiping Sect's anti-thieves on the way.
"If you go back to your father-in-law, the next official is Yangzhou Taishou!"
"Huh? How can you be Yangzhou Taishou at such a young age, are you here to fool our family? Or do you think our family is a fool? Someone - take down this liar for me! "The eunuch has seen the holy decree, and it says that Zhou Yu, the Taishou of Yangzhou, is written on it, but according to his thoughts, the Taishou of each state and county is at least about forty years old, obviously this person is too young, and he must be impersonating.
"Presumptuous—I think any of you dare? Are you tired of being a stinky eunuch? As soon as the words of the eunuch fell, Dian Wei was suddenly angry, and while scolding, he got up and ran quickly to the eunuch, and without waiting for the group of guards to react, the eunuch had already been carried by Dian Wei in his hand.
The eunuch found that as soon as he finished speaking, he was held in the air by a black-faced man, trembling and unable to exert his strength.
"Bold—who are you? Hurry up and let go of your father-in-law, do you want to rebel? Brush, brush, brush-" When the group of guards saw Dian Wei holding the eunuch in his hand, they all pulled out their knives and pointed at Dian Wei, but they all did not dare to step forward.
"Brother Dian—let go of this father-in-law!" Zhou Yu has a black line in his head, this Dian Wei's movements are too fast! Before he could finish speaking, he did it, but he could only smile bitterly, Dian Wei was also for his good. As he spoke, he took out the official seal and appointment letter of the Yangzhou Taishou and unfolded it to show the eunuch.
"Little one doesn't know that you are too guarded, how offended! Lord Zhou, do you want your guards to let the smaller ones go first? The eunuch was suspended in mid-air, sweat pouring down his head, and his pale face was a little red from breathing difficulties.
"Brother Dian-let go of this father-in-law quickly, don't worry, I'll be fine!" Zhou Yu spoke again and asked Dian Wei to release the eunuch.
"Hmph-dog eunuch, pay attention to Lao Tzu when you talk in the future, if there is a next time, be careful of your dog's head!" Dian Wei put down the edict and the eunuch did not forget to threaten him fiercely.
The eunuch who had regained his freedom sat on a stool panting, trembling and unable to speak for a long time.
"I don't know what this father-in-law is called? Is Grandpa Zhang good in the palace? This time, I haven't seen Grandpa Zhang for more than a month. "Zhou Yu actually didn't have much friendship with Zhang Rang, but he gave him a gift when he left Luoyang before, so that his appointment as the Yangzhou Taishou could be successfully passed, and he said this to make this eunuch understand that his relationship with Zhang Rang was extraordinary, so that he would not talk nonsense after he went back. Otherwise, if Dian Wei is like this, maybe Zhou Yu will become a thief inexplicably after he goes back. In that case, you will be constrained from doing a lot of things yourself, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
"Lord Zhou, you and the old ancestor are ...... The small one is called Wang Quan, it is a small yellow door under the door of Gonggong Zhang, and the small one has a small question to ask Lord Zhou next week, are you the son of Lord Zhou of Luoyang Ling? Wang Quan suddenly thought that the name Zhou Yu was written on the holy decree, as if the son of Luoyang Ling, who was famous in Luoyang City before, was also called Zhou Yu, and the Lord Zhou in front of him had seen Zhang Rang a month ago, so the person in front of him was likely to be the same person as the one in Luoyang, Zhou Yu was a celebrity in Luoyang City, punching the former general He Miao, kicking the second son of Sikong Mansion, and also won the title of the first genius in the world. The more he looked at it, the more he felt like it, and he was a little trembling!
"Princess-Luoyang Ling is the father of the family, I am the Zhou Yu you think in your heart, is it not the same as you imagined? Hehe-I was able to get the fat shortage of Yangzhou Taishou this time, or it was all thanks to the help of Father-in-law Zhang, and I also prepared two souvenirs here this time, one for Father-in-law you, and one for Father-in-law Zhang. By the way, I don't know what business trip the prince came to Yangzhou this time? Could it be that Your Majesty has any holy message? Zhou Yu sat down with a smile and said to Wang Quan.
"Lord Zhou, you are so polite! This is His Majesty's holy decree, and the small one will not be read, so you can take it and see it! A big incident happened in Luoyang City, and the people of the Taiping Sect were going to rebel, and the matter was revealed! His Majesty Long Yan was furious, and ordered all states and counties to rectify the Fa on the spot regardless of the reason for discovering the Taiping Sect, and all those related to them were also Fa rectification, and there would be a heavy reward for catching the leader and sending him to Luoyang! There is also a question about the small one, that is, why is Lord Zhou at the post station, not in the Taishou Mansion? When Wang Quan heard that Zhou Yu had a souvenir, he immediately smiled, and the powder on his face fell.
"Princess, it's hard to put into words—I've been here for a while, but the previous Taishou has been hiding from me! Alas—" Zhou Yu deliberately expressed his embarrassment.
"Hmph-Lord Zhou, don't worry! After a while, the small one will take someone to kick the door, I want to see who dares to embarrass Lord Zhou, and embarrass the adult is to get along with me! Wang Quan immediately patted his chest and assured Zhou Yu that he was taken by Zhou Yu's background too big to provoke, which does not mean that he dare not provoke others, and now he has to curry favor with Zhou Yu, so that he can show his face in front of Zhang Rang and take the throne.
"Good...... There is Lao Gonggong! The lower officials will be thanked! Zhou Yu was another heavy gift, and the only unhappiness in Wang Quan's heart disappeared, and he felt that this time it was too worthwhile.
