Chapter 74: Chaos (4)
At dinner, Huzi, who helped Yang Guang fight away the gangsters in the morning, came, pulled Yang Guang aside, and said a little embarrassedly: "Fool, no, no, Zhao Yuanwai, can you lend me some silver?" ”
Yang Guang opened a wooden shop and a warehouse under the pseudonym Zhao Yu, so outsiders generally called him Zhao Yuanwai, and he himself gradually became accustomed to this pseudonym and various names of this era. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hearing Huzi say this, Yang Guang knew in his heart that he must have borrowed money to pay off the gambling debts of that Shi Bin, but Yang Guang did not break it, but deliberately said: "What, the family is stumped?" It doesn't matter, I have rice here, and I will carry two bags back in a while, how can I eat it for ten days and a half months. ”
How can two bags of rice have half a stone, Yang Guang's shot is not ungenerous, Huzi ran around with a smiling face and said good things this day, but he only scraped together a few dollars of silver, and he may not be able to buy back half a stone of rice in this chaotic season.
It's just that it's useless for Huzi to ask for rice now, even if he takes it for cash, it is still far from the 50 taels that weighed on his heart like a mountain. Huzi, who had a difficult face, hesitated for a while, and then gritted his teeth and continued: "Don't want rice, Zhao Yuanwai, I'll borrow 10 taels from you...... No, 5 taels of silver, I don't know if I can ......"
"Okay." Yang Guang nodded very boldly and agreed, he didn't even ask Huzi what he wanted so much money for, he directly beckoned Fang Shan to take the silver over and put it in front of Huzi: "You help me get rid of those gangsters this morning, we are friends." There is a sense of wealth among friends, and if you want money, you just have to use it! ”
Waiting for Huzi to leave, Fang Shan whispered in Yang Guang's ear: "Dongjia, this Huzi is a well-known wealth boy in Yangliufang, but whoever has something, as long as you compliment him a few words, he will try his best to help, but over the years, I don't know how many favors and how many foreign debts he owes, and his father and sister have compensated for all the good things for him, and he has made up for the money he doesn't know." You pay more attention. ”
Yang Guang knew that the so-called "keep more snacks" was actually a subtle reminder to Yang Guang not to deal with this kind of person, especially in terms of money, so as to save trouble in the future.
It's just that Yang Guang thinks that the nature of this tiger is still good, but he has mistakenly embarked on a road of "pit father, pit sister, pit friend", if he can give him a hand, he should have a chance to make him wake up.
If such a man can gain his loyalty, he is definitely the kind that will not swerve until death, but the two of them don't have that friendship yet, and they won't listen to each other if they are willing to say it.
If you deliberately harvest a loyal and capable subordinate, what is it to spend a little silver, and the industrial silver ingots in modern time and space are so cheap, even if you smash in a thousand taels of silver at a time, it is only 185,000, and it is only 185,000 yuan, which is placed in Qifeng Company, that is, Wu Wenjie and Zuo Haoxuan, their monthly salary income.
I thought I would be able to stop a little outside at night, but it got worse after nightfall. The official in charge of the curfew did not appear, which led to the existence of the curfew system in name only, and also made the already rampant rampant ruffians even more arrogant.
In order to ensure safety, Yang Guang cast multiple "summoned insects", so that the patrol range of the summoned moths covered the entire warehouse and the warehouse behind the old rice, so as not to give those thugs a chance.
There are fires everywhere in Yangzhou at night, and there are crying and shouting from time to time, which makes the women who stay in the warehouse tremble, and the men dare not relax in the slightest way.
If the government does not act during the day, it may be due to various reasons that cause the slow response, but at night it is still like this, it can only mean that there is a problem in an important link.
Yang Guang felt that this problem was likely to lie with the prefect of Yangzhou, and if he planned today's attack by himself, how could he create some trouble for the supreme governor of Yangzhou City, instead of letting him escape back to the city very smoothly.
From another point of analysis, if it is just a mistake in the general link, the other links should still be operating normally, or the higher level will intervene and adjust, but even the officials who have a curfew according to the steps have been transferred, and there are really not many officials with this right, and the Yangzhou prefect is one of them.
Yang Guang didn't think about going to investigate at night, but in the end he gave up this idea, he didn't have a reliable relationship with the official, even if he really got any important information, he didn't know who to give it to, so he should stay in the warehouse to protect the safety of these people around him.
Although Yang Guang's speculation was not complete, it was not much different from the facts, when he was sitting in the room meditating and resting, several officials of Yangzhou City, the chief soldier, the general judge, the servant, and the Jiangdu magistrate and so on more than a dozen officials were guarding the inner hall of the prefect, anxiously waiting for news.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the prefect is not feeling well, please go back to the house first!" A glamorous woman stepped out from behind the screen and said to a dozen officials who were fidgeting.
These officials all knew that the beautiful woman was the favorite concubine of the prefect, and the grumpy Yangzhou general soldier slapped the table and shouted: "Isn't it just a group of remnants of the White Lotus Sect?" Lao Tzu directly led the troops to kill them, so can they hide in the city like a turtle? He also transferred all the soldiers and servants to the city wall to guard them, and let the city become a pot of porridge? ”
"The chaotic people are just a disease of moss, and the White Lotus Sect is a big problem." The beautiful woman retorted: "Today, there are White Lotus Sect villains who almost took the city gate, but fortunately, Huang Baihu led the Son of Heaven to recapture it. If you don't strictly guard against it and let the followers of the White Lotus Sect mix into the city to cause chaos, wouldn't the world be shaken and the Son of Heaven wrathed? How will you deal with yourselves then? ”
"Humph!" The general soldier of Yangzhou was silent, he really couldn't afford such a responsibility.
"Since the prefect is sick, why don't I and other colleagues visit one or two, I wonder if Mrs. Ru can be accommodating?" Yangzhou Tongju spoke.
The beautiful woman hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed: "Okay, just ask a few adults to come with me." She led the way and led the officials to the window of the prefect of the bedroom, and when she opened the door, she heard a violent cough coming from inside.
The beautiful woman immediately left the official behind her, walked quickly to the bedside, she repulsed the maid who served next to her, and personally beat the man's back, and after a long while, she said: "My lord, your colleagues have come to see you when they know that you are ill." ”
"Alas, this officer is a little frightened today...... Ahem...... It's a joke for you. The prefect coughed and said intermittently.
By the candle flame in the bedroom, which was not too bright, the general judge, the servant and the others who walked in saw the face of the person who spoke, it was indeed the prefect, but it was a little whiter, and his voice was a little hoarse, thinking that it was caused by the wind cold.
