Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Eighth King Who Floated to the Water

Wu Yang has been idle since he came back from the East China Sea these days.

As soon as Li Qiniang's matter was over, he immediately took the ten jars of good wine that he had scavenged from Li Nanfeng's mansion to the prison.

will be the supervisor and supervisor, Jiang Chunlin, who has a white beard, is so happy that his beard is cocked when he sees the good wine, and he praises Lord Xiao Wu for respecting people, and he is everyone's son!

Wu Yang, who was the general and the prisoner, went to the palace again and told Fan Zeng about Xie Dacheng's choice.

Fan Zeng didn't react much to this, and he told Wu Yang a piece of news.

"Xie Dingshan and Deng Kun secretly had dealings with Tianquan Villa, and the secret spy department found out that Gao Quan also entered Lin'an City as a homeless person, and he came earlier than Xie Dingshan and Deng Kun. At that time, there was still war between the Song and Jin countries, and the famine was prevalent, and there were many displaced people who poured into Lin'an City, and it was difficult to completely identify how many of them were the work of other countries. ”

Once it is hidden, it may not be able to take action for a decade or two, unless it is with a specific task, such as spreading rumors and rumors that are unfavorable to the court of the enemy country, or sabotaging a certain activity, the fine work will be active.

"What do you mean?"

"During the time when you were not in Lin'an, I specially ordered someone to fight the grass and scare the snakes, but there are really some turtle kings who have been hidden for many years on the surface, including Gao Quan, the owner of Tianquan Villa! Recently, he jumped up and down to organize a group of people to go to Huainan to reclaim the famine, and this matter has reached the ears of His Majesty. It is said that His Majesty had promised that if he could raise 5,000 men, His Majesty would personally give him a strong march and give him the official position of Captain of Tuntian. At that time, it will be difficult to move him again! ”

Since last year, the imperial court has been recruiting volunteers to go to Huainan Tuntian, but unfortunately there are very few people who respond.

The Song and Jin countries drew the Huai River and ruled, Huainan, almost equivalent to the border, once the two countries went to war, Huainan bore the brunt. In addition, the Jin State closed down the vertebral field and changed the "Law on Crossing the Border with Private Relations", smugglers and small businessmen who had no way to live fell into the grass, thieves swarmed in the Huainan area, and public order was chaotic.

All kinds of factors cause the shaved head to be hot. The imperial court promised all kinds of benefits to those who recruited tuntian, but the people refused to be fooled.

Everyone knows that Tuntian is a hard work, and it takes a long time, and the situation in Song and Jin is so tense that the people of Tuntian have nothing to say about the bamboo basket to fetch water, and they may also worry about their lives.

Such a errand makes whoever is full of food will do it!

It's just that they don't believe in evil at all! Not only did he take the initiative to unveil the list to go to Tuntian, but he also lobbied a large group of people to follow Brother Gao and Gao Shanren to Huainan to make a career!

The idea of Tuntian was given to the emperor by the chamberlain Zhang Quwei, who asked the emperor not to be lazy and happy, and encouraged him to be a promising emperor through the ages, and used the money and grain to strengthen the border defense. In particular, the official strongly demanded the removal of the emperor's private small treasury - the Jiaku Wine Bureau!

The words of the official are hard to hear, so I just pointed at the emperor's nose and scolded, you take the money and taxes paid by the people, and you can sing and dance every day, you are embarrassed to set up a wine bureau to compete with the people? !

Withdraw, withdraw!

It's nothing to remove the royal music class, but the removal of the Jiaku Wine Bureau will cost Zhang Quwei's old life!

The Jiaku Liquor Bureau is managed by Zhang Quwei, although most of the profits go into the emperor's private treasury, but he can also get a lot of benefits from his hands in it!

He immediately gave the emperor an idea: recruit the people to go to Huainan Tuntian!

Didn't the officials say that the treasury was tight, and the emperor wanted to tighten his belt to support the construction of border defense? Okay, then recruit people to go to Huainan Tuntian, not only can solve the problem of food and clothing for a large number of people, but also improve the public security in Huainan, and the extra grain can also supply military supplies nearby.

Who would have thought that it had been more than a year, Huainan was still deserted, and Legong and Jiaku Liquor Bureau had been removed!

How could the emperor not be on fire!

At this time, Gao Quan jumped out and took the initiative to take people to Huainan Tuntian, how could the emperor not look at him?

Wu Yangsi said: "This is a good opportunity, you can take advantage of this to wipe out all the people on his line!" ”

Fan Zeng nodded: "That's what our family means, we have to jail him these days, get conclusive evidence, don't be afraid of him turning the sky!" At that time, I will ask Lord Xiao Wu to come forward to take him in person! ”

Gao Quan is an ordinary market businessman, but he can accurately scratch the emperor's itch, and there must be a master behind him.

Wu Yang did not shy away from it, and directly said the doubts in his heart.

Fan Zeng replied: "Naturally, the bell must be tied to the bell." However, the Secret Spy Division and the Imperial City Division are just grasping the enemy country and doing it carefully, and they shouldn't take care of the other things! ”

Since Fan Zeng has confessed, Wu Yang nodded: "Okay, when I go back, I tell my people to be cautious and not to alarm him!" ”

After leaving the Secret Spy Division, Wu Yang went to visit Zhang Tao.

A few days ago, Zhang Tao again asked for a request for a scholar on the grounds of decay, and the emperor only stayed once, that is, he agreed to Zhang Tao's request for a bachelor from the palace, and yesterday he ordered the relocation of the official Taizhong doctor to the true service.

On the surface, the emperor gave Zhang Tao enough face, and Zhang Tao's treatment after Zhishi was not reduced at all, but in fact, the emperor gave Zhang Tao a slap and then a sweet date.

In the practice of the Great Song Dynasty, where the six departments and the first-level ministers of the Zaizhi were sick and begging for bones, the emperor would send envoys to comfort and stay again and again, giving face to the ministers.

Wu Yang walked into the courtyard and saw two thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenagers reading and practicing calligraphy under the pear blossom tree.

These two teenagers, Wu Yang, both recognized, one was Li Xiu's righteous son Mo Yu, and the other was Gao Quan's son Gao Poyu.

Gao Poyu was chatting with Mo Yu: "Mo Yu, aren't all of you people in the East China Sea good at sailing on the sea?" If the Jin people come, you lead a fleet to meet the fleet of the Jin country, and beat them to the desert and flee, how majestic! ”

Mo Yu was a little fascinated: "What about you?" Do you want to fight a naval battle with me? ”

Gao Poyu sneered: "What can I do with a landlubber going to the sea?" I want to lead a cavalry team, like Huo Quai, to be a hussar general, go deep behind enemy lines, come and go suddenly, and catch him off guard! ”

Mo Yu was about to answer, when he saw Wu Yang at a glance, he quickly got up and saluted: "I've seen Lord Wu, Grandpa Zhang is in the study, I'll take you to see him!" ”

Wu Yang replied: "No need, I'll go over by myself." ”

Seeing that Mo Yu was still looking at him expectantly, Wu Yang said, "They are all very good, don't worry." He told you to study hard, don't let him down! ”

Mo Yu nodded heavily: "I must study hard!" If adults have the opportunity to see them again, please help Mo Yu tell me, and say that I will never live up to their expectations! ”

After Wu Yang left, Gao Poyu pulled Mo Yu's sleeve, "Mo Yu, are you very familiar with Lord Xiao Wu?" Who are they? Do I know each other? ”

When Mo Yucha heard the news that Li Xiu and Donghai's father were still alive, his mind was agitated, and he replied casually: "You know, it's my father-in-law Li Xiu!" ”

Gao Poyu called out softly: "Li Xiu? Didn't you say that the East China Sea Rebels and the fathers and elders of the city didn't leave a single mouth? The Jin people also piled up the heads of the rebels into a huge Jingguan! How is it possible that your father-in-law and the people of the East China Sea are not dead? ”

After the city of Donghai County was broken, the Jin people did not hide it, and even deliberately publicized it, and the imperial court newspaper mentioned a few words painlessly, and the people of Lin'an City knew about the tragic situation in Donghai.

In addition to scolding Jin Bing for being too cruel, the people of Lin'an were very sympathetic to Mo Yu, an orphan in the East China Sea. He used to go out and always receive a small bag of melon seeds or a few plums stuffed by a passing vendor.

The kind-hearted people of Lin'an want to tell this young man who has lost all his relatives in this way that although Donghai County can't go back, Lin'an City is his home! He has no relatives and friends, as well as these kind people of Lin'an!

In Lin'an Mansion School, Mo Yu was also taken care of by his master and classmates as never before, and Gao Poyu and several classmates took the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility of tutoring Mo Yu. Today, Gao Poyu is here to help Mo Yuwen learn calligraphy.

Mo Yu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "My father-in-law escaped, I don't know about the other uncles, and I don't have any news of them." Xing Xing's father-in-law had not returned to Donghai County at the time of the slaughter, and he happened to escape the catastrophe. God forbid, I just thought that I would never see my father-in-law again in this life, but I didn't expect him to be alive! ”

Mo Yu began to cry, the fear and worry that had accumulated in his heart these days finally found an outlet, he didn't suppress himself anymore, and let the tears burst down.

Gao Poyu originally had some doubts in his heart and planned to ask Mo Yu, but he was startled by his tears and crying, and he hurriedly said: "Since Uncle Li Xiu is fine, we should be happy!" As long as he lives, there will be a day when you will be able to meet! ”
