Chapter 370 The Imperial History Mouth Pen Like a Knife? It's not as good as the brocade heart!

The northern foot of Slender West Lake, Wanquan Villa.

In the evening, there is a drizzle in the sky, the willows on the lakeside are washed green by the smoke and rain, and the wildflowers are growing in a pleasing manner, and they still bloom in extraordinary beauty in the dark clouds that cover the sun. These flowers and plants are very fond of the silent spring rain, but for people who have to go out in this weather, they are naturally not so comfortable. The oiled clothes were stuffy, the clothes were damp, and the people sitting in the carriage seemed to be surrounded by dampness, but they could not open the curtains or let the curtains breathe.

"The main owner slipped away so much that he couldn't even find the shadow, and they pretended not to know, but they actually left the puppet garden to come here to soak in the hot springs, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?"

Due to the rain, Pingjiang Bo Fanghan and Nanjing garrison Xu Yang sat in the same car. At this time, Xu Yang complained angrily, and his second son Xu Jin on the side shrank uneasily. Fang Han caught a glimpse of the father and son, and said with a smile: "No matter what they are going to do, in short, we just follow the crowd." As for His Royal Highness King Jing, after all, he didn't say that he came with him before, and the big official ship is still parked in Huai'an Mansion now, and now that others are avoiding, it has nothing to do with us. Thinking that Zhou Yushi should have a headache, he wanted to come to the palace to give a bitter advice, but the people are not there, who is he looking for to admonish? ”

"These civil officials just like to come here to flaunt their own set, it's not interesting to be at the top" Xu Jin interjected coldly, and when he saw his father coming over, he hurriedly accompanied a smile, "Dad, if you want to say that His Royal Highness is really good enough to do his own thing, Zhou Yushi went directly to force Governor Fan to find someone, but he didn't find anyone in the city in the afternoon." I was just assassinated last time......"

As soon as the word assassination came out, he suddenly felt the temperature in the carriage drop suddenly. found that his father was looking at him with eyes that hated iron and steel, and Ping Jiangbo on the side seemed to be smiling, so he quickly closed his mouth and didn't dare to say more.

"Idiot"

After scolding, Xu Yang didn't bother to take care of his son anymore, and whispered next to Fang Han: "You say, what's going on with this assassination?" I saw that Zhou Taitong couldn't find His Royal Highness, and he was so anxious that he was so anxious, I always felt that this thing was strange. Also, the post just now was sent directly to the Huibin Building, is the surname Yang too well-informed? ”

"Quirky is for sure...... Just assassinating the prince is really incredible. Fang Han's eyes rolled, and he smiled at Xu Yang in a low voice, "For Brother Xu's sake, I might as well reveal a little news." Deng Ji, who once visited Jinling Academy in Xiaotaoyuan with Ling Lang, is now nowhere to be seen, and his daughter-in-law is looking for someone in a hurry."

"What?"

In the smoke and rain, a group of seven or eight carriages and dozens of people arrived at the gate of Wanquan Villa. Everyone came from Nanjing, although they have also been to Yangzhou, but after all, there is still a long distance from the three words of the head snake. Therefore, looking at the magnificent but ingenious gate that does not violate the rules, as well as the Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum engraved on the lintel, several people who have already passed the stage of pure wealth can't help but exchange glances in pairs, and finally can't help but look at Fan Cheng, the prefect of Yangzhou at the end.

"I can't imagine that there is such a good place by the Slender West Lake."

"It's only been a few years, it's not been a few years." Fan Cheng responded with a dry smile, and when he saw a few people in front of him coming out with umbrellas, he quickly changed the topic and said, "Look, Lord Yang and Mrs. Yang are coming out."

Xu Yang was about to ask the origin of the owner of Wanquan Villa, but when he heard this, he dispelled his mind for the time being, so he stepped forward with the others. Although Jiangnan is advocating Confucianism and etiquette, there have been many women who have been in charge of the house or have shown up to take care of the industry and even all kinds of chores for their husbands, so at this time, there are also Mrs. Pingjiangbo, Mrs. Ai, plus the wife of Fan Cheng, the prefect of Yangzhou, plus the mother who accompanied the car, and there are also many warblers and Yanyan holding umbrellas. It's just that looking at the pair of young men and women who shared an umbrella not far away and leisurely walked together, many people's faces still showed different colors.

The man was dressed in a blue narrow-sleeved long robe, and he did not wear a crown on his head, but he was wearing a weft Luo scarf, looking idle and calm, if it weren't for the lack of a Jiangnan scholar's favorite folding fan, coupled with the slightest sharpness in the description, he was like a scholar. The woman on the side is combing the fallen horse bun, but she doesn't use the favorite heart and sideburns of other ladies, and the black silk only shares two rhino jade hairpins across the hairpin, looking simple and neat, and then with the wide-sleeved agarwood-colored oblique shirt on the right side, and the silver-white plain gauze skirt, which appeared in front of people in this misty rain, it seemed to be hidden in this trace of rain and mist.

It wasn't until the people approached that the men really saw the woman's face. But I saw that her eyebrows were like a crescent moon and her eyes were like morning stars, although there was a smile on the corner of her mouth at this time, but when she looked at it, it seemed to have a little deep meaning. When her eyes fell on herself, someone involuntarily looked away, especially Zhou Taitong, who had something in his heart, and turned his head to the side for the first time.

And for the four ladies who came with them this time, seeing that Chen Lan put his hand in the crook of Yang Jinzhou's arm very naturally, he couldn't help but show a little different color, and Mrs. Pingjiangbo and Mrs. Ai, who had learned Yang Jinzhou's cold face in the morning, couldn't help but glance at people's faces, and seeing that his tone of greeting people was gentler than in the morning, Mrs. Pingjiangbo couldn't help but snort lightly.

After greeting each other, Xu Yang wanted to send his second son Xu Jin to kowtow and make amends, but the coaxing was stopped. After making such a fuss for a while, everyone followed the master into the door and walked all the way inside. Xu Yang, who was walking beside Yang Jinzhou, looked at the garden left and right, and couldn't help asking: "This place is called Wanquan Villa, and the tone is not small, isn't it a spring with 10,000 eyes?" ”

"There is no 10,000-eyed fist. Only the mother Huang who brought us over said that there were several hot springs found here, and the owner thought that there were such hot springs, and they were worth 10,000 springs, so they called this Wanquan Villa. Chen Lan glanced at Yang Jinzhou and explained. Seeing that the four ladies were surprised when they heard this, she smiled again, "I have heard that the hot springs in Tangshan in Nanjing are the most famous, and I thought that I would have to go to Nanjing to enjoy them once, but I didn't expect that I would be able to appreciate the hot springs in Yangzhou first." ”

"After all, Tangshan Hot Spring built a palace in the early years, although the spring has also been introduced, but the courtyards in all directions have long been occupied by the original nobles, and now there is still a place for others to stand?" Zhou Taitong sneered, and then glanced at Chen Lan, who was holding an umbrella alone at this time, "If you want to say that the largest and most historical house on Tangshan except for the other palace, it is the Yangning Marquis Mansion." ”

Chen Lan just mentioned it casually, but at this time, someone was afraid that someone would take advantage of this to get involved in the Yangning Marquis Mansion, and her heart moved, and she immediately looked at the other people around her. Sensing that many people were just afraid that as Zhou Taitong said, they were not qualified or could not have a courtyard on the Tangshan side, and she immediately tasted the sound of the strings.

"Lord Zhou doesn't seem to be a native of Zhejiang, so he didn't expect to know so clearly about Beizhuang near Tangshan."

"As a speech official, I should do my best for the saint to patrol the hunting side. Nanjing is full of powerful people, and the people are often to blame, such as Tangshan Hot Spring, although it is good, but the common people do not enjoy the benefits at all. Not only that, but the powerful and wealthy families such as the Hou Mansion even used extravagance to compare, which corrupted the folk atmosphere......"

"Is Lord Zhou the wrong person?" Chen Lan originally just wanted to be sarcastic, but when he heard this person speak energetically, he thought that he had participated in several officials before, and couldn't help but interrupt him: "You said that the wind of extravagant comparison, no one has settled in Nanjing in the Yangning Marquis Mansion for several generations, even the people of the Panzhi tribe, most of them live in Tongzhou, and the farthest is only the area of Beizhili, this Nanjing is really beyond the reach of the whip, how can the wind of luxury spread all over the south of the Yangtze River." As for the Tangshan Hot Springs Villa, that is the Taizu Imperial Gift's industry, the Hou Mansion is good to run and stay, but few people have come to enjoy, and it costs a lot of money every year to go out, and I got a reminder from Lord Zhou, after I went back, I naturally told my grandmother, and simply returned this place to the royal hot spring palace. ”

Speaking of this, she didn't look at Zhou Taitong's suddenly changed face, and said to herself: "According to Lord Zhou's words, if you just return the other village, as you said, it can't benefit the people." It is said that the hot springs nourish the body and dispel all kinds of diseases, the emperor hangs down the arch Jiuchen and lives in the palace, and rarely has the opportunity to come to the south of the Yangtze River, if such a good place is opened to the people of Jiangnan, so that the people of Jiangnan can enjoy the benefits of this hot spring, isn't it a great kindness of the emperor? Well, after I return to Beijing, I will definitely show my affection to my mother to the emperor, Shuquan, what do you say? ”

Yang Jinzhou saw that Zhou Taitong's face was like a pig's liver, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity for this guy. In the afternoon, after Chen Lan came to this Wanquan Villa, he first went to take a look at the several soup springs, and then said to him as if he was interested, these hot springs can be opened to ordinary people, as long as you build more than ten or twenty soup pools, you can open a hot spring spa resort and so on. Although he felt incredible, Chen Lan said this directly at this time, and he nodded happily.

"The benefits are really wide." He paused, and then looked at Zhou Taitong, who was full of shock, "Lord Zhou is not only the imperial governor of Zhejiang, but also keeps thinking about the people, not only on the tongue, but also on some practical things." ”

"You ......"

Seeing that Zhou Taitong seemed to be holding a breath in his throat, and he could go away anytime and anywhere, Mrs. Ai finally couldn't help coughing lightly. At this time, the other people who were watching the excitement around joined in one by one. Seeing that the governor and the prefect of Jinling dragged people aside, Mrs. Pingjiang couldn't help but smack her tongue, and her dissatisfaction after being reprimanded earlier was also light, and she couldn't help but get closer to her husband at this time and muttered in a low voice.

"This is really bold, it is the royal hot spring palace, how dare the three girls of the Chen family say such a thing"

"She has such a bold godmother to support her, what's so strange about having such guts?" Pingjiang Bo Fanghan walked with his hands behind his back, and his voice suddenly became quite low, "A hot spring palace built in the Taizong period, and then abandoned and not used, but every year it has to allocate money to repair, but now it is open to the people, which will inevitably attract countless people. ”

Since he arrived at this Wanquan Villa, Zhou Taitong was deflated at the first time, and the rest of the people naturally did not lead the topic to the hot spring palace in Tangshan, Nanjing, but just smiled and talked about the customs and customs of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, and by the way, pinched their fingers to calculate the time. According to the current rules, it is naturally a group of men and a group of women, and there is absolutely no reason for men and women to mix - but since Yang Jin Zhou Chen Lan is not the master of this place, and he has just arrived, he can't take care of this much on the road just now - however, the reason is certainly good, but when the group passed through a path dotted with many steaming soup pools on both sides, someone finally couldn't help asking: "Yang Zongbing, you brought your wife to this Wanquan Villa to have a good time, I don't know where His Royal Highness King Jing was assassinated?" ”

Hearing this, the people turned their heads, and saw that the person who spoke was the pale-faced patrol Zhou Taitong, and his expression suddenly changed for a while. Fan Cheng, the prefect of Yangzhou, had round eyes, eager to drive out this guy who spoiled the scenery; Du Cao Yu Shi Lin Zhishan and Jinling Prefect Wu Ying looked like they had nothing to do with themselves; As for Pingjiang Bo Fanghan and Xu Yang's father and son, they stood together with their hands crossed, their faces full of carelessness; Several ladies seemed to have a deep tacit understanding, and they all gathered around Chen Lan.

"His Royal Highness King Jing?" Yang Jinzhou's brows furrowed, and then his eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally said coldly, "It is said that the official ship of His Royal Highness King Jing is still parked in Huai'an Mansion, if you want to see the king, just rush to Huai'an Mansion, why do you have to ask me?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Fan Cheng, the prefect of Yangzhou, was suddenly choked and coughed repeatedly. Seeing that the rest of the people were all looking at him at once, he secretly regretted that he couldn't hold his breath, and at the same time hurriedly laughed and said: "Forgive your sins and forgive your sins, I choked on the cool breeze, choked on the cool breeze......"

Zhou Taitong suddenly became even more angry and ruined: "Lord Yang, I think about the situation when you got off the boat at the Yangzhou wharf, but it is not just one person who sees that His Royal Highness King Jing is a dignified prince, and the sky is noble, if there is really something wrong, you don't play the court, and you don't know the local officials, you ...... What should you be guilty of, don't say that you are the chief soldier, even if you are a super-grade prince, you will not be able to escape the blame, if you still understand the priorities, hurry up and hand over all the assassins and masterminds you took before."

These words were said in a righteous and strict manner, and the surroundings were silent for a while, as if everyone was stunned by his words. However, after a moment of silence, there was a sudden crisp sound of a gentle slap on the side. As the others turned their heads, Chen Lan slowly took two steps forward.

"Lord Zhou is so eloquent, everyone is afraid to say anything from you. You said that more than one person saw our group disembark, which means that there is His Royal Highness King Jing among them, who recognized it, or did someone see the prince's jade chariot and the royal flag? You said that His Royal Highness King Jing was assassinated, where did this accurate news come from, you ask the prefect Fan, has he ever claimed it to the outside world? As for the informant meeting, what is not there in the first place, does it have to be publicized everywhere? ”

"You...... You...... Your husband and wife dare to refer to the deer as a horse" Zhou Taitong was finally so angry that his lungs exploded, "If it weren't for the sudden assassination of His Royal Highness King Jing, how could Yangzhou City suddenly be full of big ropes, and how could you Yang Jinzhou suddenly take down the commander of Jiang Duwei, and then send troops into the city for martial law"

"The city is full of big ropes, because a prince of a family with me was attacked by bandits, so Yangzhou Mansion naturally wants to arrest the following, this is the unshirkable responsibility of Governor Fan, Governor Fan, do you say yes." Yang Jinzhou looked at Fan Cheng and saw that he nodded again and again almost without hesitation, so he said coldly, "As for sending troops into the city for martial law, there is naturally a corresponding reason. ”

"For what reason, this is clearly a disguise"

"My lord is the general soldier of Liangjiang, with the seal of the general soldier of Liangjiang, is it necessary to mobilize hundreds of soldiers into the city and approve it to Lord Zhou?"

The men and women who watched coldly on the side saw Yang Jinzhou and Chen Lan singing and harmonizing, although Zhou Taitong's face was pale, it was difficult to defeat the enemy with one blow, but he was often incoherent by others, and he couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Especially Mrs. Ai, how ugly and ugly her face was, if it weren't for the fact that there were others around her, she would have been eager to leave immediately. Just when she couldn't stand it at all, someone finally said a word for Zhou Taitong.

"Lord Yang, you transfer Jiang Duwei, this is within the scope of your power and responsibility, and we have nothing to say, but this training is not trivial. Jiangnan has always been far away from military disasters, and if it spreads to the people, it will inevitably be full of rumors, and it must not be careless. It was the goodness of Du Cao Yu Shilin who spoke, and his words were quite sincere, "If it is a royal order, it should also be announced to everyone." If it is a performance, it should also be played jointly by the yamen of Nanjing, so it is right. Speaking of this, he paused, and then said word by word, "As for His Royal Highness King Jing, if it is true that the white dragon fish abandons the official ship and goes ashore with Lord Yang, the lord should also persuade him." ”

is also the imperial history, and the difference between these two people is too far

Looking at this sincere and pertinent Governor Cao Yu Shi Lin Zhishan, and then looking at the angry patrol Yu Shi Zhou Taitong over there, Chen Lan secretly sighed in his heart This world of difference, but this time he didn't answer the conversation, but stared straight at his husband. The next moment, she saw Yang Jinzhou, who had always been cold and indifferent, gradually showed a hint of a smile, and finally bowed her head slightly.

"Lord Lin reminded me of this."

As soon as the words fell, as if it was in response to the situation, a shout like a bell suddenly came from outside the door that everyone had just passed through: "Report"

Chen Lan had just heard that it was Qin Hu's voice, so he only heard Yang Jinzhou shouting: "What's the matter?"

"My lord, Huai'an and Huai'an both transferred salt envoys to report, saying that there was a disturbance in a salt field on the coast of Yancheng, and hundreds of stoves set fire to two warehouses, and tens of thousands of catties of Huai salt were burned, and even intended to seize the salt river to the south of Yancheng."

As soon as these words came out, the people who were waiting for Yang Jinzhou's reaction just now were all shocked. Although Yangzhou is not a place of salt production, there is still a salt river from Nantong to here, coupled with Huai'an, which is upstream of the canal, makes Yangzhou a place where two Huai salt merchants gather. If something really happens, it may really cause great instability along with the other major salt farms on the coast

"How can such a thing be...... Didn't the Du Transit Envoy say that Yan Ding was stable all day long, why did such a thing suddenly happen "So far, there are many people who are shocked and angry, but the most shocking one is Pingjiang Bo Fanghan. It must be known that the Yanhe River, which connects Yancheng, Huai'an, and Nantong, has almost half of it been dredged and managed by the Caoyun Governor's Mansion for more than 100 years, and a lot of the money has gone to him. If something happens to this, it is not that it is not about me at this time, but that it hurts my muscles and bones

However, he said this sentence like thunder, and the calm expression of Du Cao Yu Shi Lin Zhishan was gone, replaced by an angry tone: "There has never been such an outrageous thing in the past ten years, I will worship Ben when I go back, and it is too incompetent to transfer salt from top to bottom."

Yang Jinzhou looked at the rest of the people who came up one by one, and only after a while did he order Qin Hu to bring the messenger. When the dusty messenger came in and knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word, and talked about the previous scene with added vinegar, all the officials who were still a little suspicious suddenly believed it. At that moment, Pingjiang Bo Fanghan said sharply: "Such a big matter, I have to go back to Huai'an to watch Lin Yushi, since you are the governor of Cao, go with me, you can't leave it alone at this time."

Seeing that Lin Zhishan agreed without hesitation, Zhou Taitong, who was full of frustration, stared at Yang Jinzhou and Chen Lan for a moment, and suddenly said viciously: "I will also go, since Lord Yang said that His Royal Highness King Jing is not here, and he is still on the official ship of Huai'an Mansion, then I will rush over immediately now If Lord Yang is the one you said before, just wait for my ginseng."

Yang Jinzhou didn't seem to hear this, and said calmly: "Didn't Lord Lin ask why he was training just now? There were rumors of instability in the salt works along the coast, and there were many deaths and injuries caused by the rampant illegal salt, and it is said that there were pirates who transported smuggled salt to the neighboring islands...... All in all, if you don't train in peacetime, you won't need it when you need it. ”

At this he said to the messenger, "Go with your town to the study."

Since Yang Jinzhou, the master, was going to work, Fang Han and the three of them hurriedly said goodbye first, and Zhou Taitong, who had put down the cruel words, left without even having time to say anything about the scene. As for the rest of the people, Xu Yang originally came to let his son bear the guilt, but at this moment, as soon as Wu Ying, the prefect of Jinling, left, he didn't care about finishing the rest of the scene, and then left in a hurry. And although Mrs. Ai felt that the situation was strange tonight and wanted to stay for a while, but everyone else was gone, and she had to say goodbye and leave. It's just a moment's work, and in addition to a few mothers and girls, there are only three husband and wife left, Chen Lan and Fan Cheng.

"Everyone is gone, Governor Fan is probably relieved now, right?"

"Yes, yes......" Fan Yuan agreed energetically, but as soon as the words came out, he noticed the language problem, and couldn't help showing an embarrassed expression, but Mrs. Fan on the side was still more vigilant, and quickly took over the conversation and said, "Lord Yang and Mrs. Yang will definitely remember the grace of reconstruction, and my lord and I will definitely repay each other in the future." ”

"Don't say anything about it." Chen Lan smiled and said, "If the virtuous couple wants to thank them, just take care of this mess in Yangzhou." Although in terms of grade, Lord Fan is a lot worse than those just now, but Yangzhou does not belong to the control of Nanjing, and there is no relationship between them, what to do, I think Lord Fan should understand. ”

PS: Eat deflated...... On the last day, I woke up early in the morning and found that the gap with the front was only one vote, and everyone helped to resist it, and there were only a few hours left in the horizontal and vertical
