Chapter 148: Providence Makes People
Luoyang Ziwei Palace, the imperial study.
Emperor Zhao Shu of Xiping looked at the fold that Dongchang had just sent back in front of him, and was speechless for a long time.
For him, this excerpt brought back two pieces of news, one good and one bad.
Good news: The main T Huang Jin lived up to his expectations, and as soon as he got on the field, he did a big job, and steadily pulled Yang Erlang's hatred.
Bad news: Huang Jin played too extraordinary, and the hatred value seriously overflowed, so that it didn't hurt him, the head of the regiment.
"Is this dog slave really stupid or is he pretending to be confused? Can you use this kind of method to deal with this kind of stubborn donkey? ”
Zhao Shu had a headache and was incompetent and furious, and the picture of the stubborn donkey carrying a knife on his back and running all the way into Beijing with a cloud of smoke and dust already appeared in his mind.
The stubborn donkey went back into Jingdang Street and beat Shen Fan.
The next time I enter Beijing, I'm afraid that I will have to impact Ziwei Palace.
Of course, Ziwei Palace is not afraid of the impact of that guy......
But the problem is that the old eunuchs in the Imperial Horse Prison are not connected, and the grandmaster-level old eunuchs of Zhenguo are dead and one is missing, if the stubborn donkey of Zhenjiao pulls one or two old eunuchs of Zhenguo to die together, the rivers and mountains of his old Zhao family will have to tremble!
Moreover, if that guy really hit Ziwei Palace, it would undoubtedly be another extremely bad head.
"Change? No, it can't be changed, how should the people of the world view the court? Who will go to the fire for that stubborn donkey? ”
Emperor Xiping gently rubbed his faintly painful eyes, and suddenly understood the uncomfortable feeling of the dog biting the hedgehog when Shen Fan was dealing with the stubborn donkey.
To be fair, he really wanted to teach Yang a deep enough lesson.
But he really didn't want to force Yang Ge to the point of not dying......
First, he really cherishes Yang Ge's talent and heart.
Second, he also saw clearly that Yang Ge did not have any objections, and he did not even have the ambition and desire to be promoted and make a fortune.
Emperor Xiping even had a little bit of thought in his heart to polish off the unruly burrs on Yang Ge's body and use them for him again...... After all, Yang Erlang's brand tiger head is a tiger's head, one does not squeak, who uses it and who says it is good!
But Huang Jin's dog slave is doing this, not to mention accepting the stubborn donkey for his own use, the stubborn donkey has to count his grievances and grievances if he doesn't enter the palace in Beijing.
"No, I have to make amends, and I must not let that stubborn donkey enter Beijing!"
Zhao Shu rubbed his aching eyes, and got up with a strong spirit: "Swing the royal horse!" ”
……
At that time, Emperor Xiping was restless in Ziwei Palace.
At this time, the brigade of the six departments of the imperial court jointly enforcing the law is heading south with great fanfare and high spirits.
The people of the six divisions have traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, the snow and the moon, and many affairs officials who have lived in the capital for a long time have begun to look forward to the taste of 'Yangzhou Thin Horse'......
The vast majority of people regard this big action as a rare opportunity to make a difference and blossom.
In fact, they can't be wrong in thinking this way...... At least it's not outrageously wrong.
After all, in their eyes, this action is to arrest a lonely person with the power of the whole country, what can be the accident?
Even if that person is Yang Erlang, who is famous all over the country, there will be no surprises.
Daohao?
If the four elders, seven heroes and twelve heroes can fight against the imperial court, then they should be the imperial court.
In their eyes, there is a possibility that this action will be fruitless, and there is no other possibility at all.
This cannot be blamed for their narrow-mindedness.
It's that there is a very important information missing from the information they have about Yang Ge, that is, the time when Yang Ge practiced martial arts.
In fact, up to now, only Shen Fa and Jiang Kui, two people who do not speak of martial arts and have long done things to Yang Ge, have clearly known Yang Ge's "little grandmaster body", even if they add Zhao Shu, the Xiping Emperor who may know, and Liu Mang, who learned about it from Yang Ge, there are only four people.
In the eyes of the rest, Yang Erlang is just a genius master who has been practicing hard work behind closed doors for many years, and his martial arts debut is at the peak.
A genius master who has practiced martial arts since childhood, practiced Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer for more than ten years, and became famous in the world in one fell swoop.
Compare it with a stunningly talented master who has been practicing for two and a half years and is dedicated to being a shopkeeper but still in the top 20 in the world......
The former is certainly scary, but it is clearly not scary enough.
And the latter is already terrible at the moment, but what is even more terrifying is his future.
Emperor Xiping and Shen Fa were thinking about Yang Ge's future, which was the consequence of their misses, because they knew that time was on Yang Ge's side.
And the rest of the people, considering Yang Ge's present, are not able to come again and again, they mistakenly think that time is on their side.
……
The brigade traveled through Suzhou and stayed overnight at the wharf.
When the big and small officials of the Suzhou government heard the news, they mobilized the catering practitioners and singing and dancing practitioners in the city overnight to go to the dock to entertain all the adults from the capital.
Spending the money of the yamen and settling with the six major law enforcement agencies of the inner court and the outer court at one time, who would miss this kind of business?
It was night, and the sound of silk and bamboo and laughter in the Suzhou wharf was endless; Gulps of wine, chunks of meat, and gold and silver......
From Huang Jin, the official of the Dongchang Factory, to the horseman of the Criminal Department, everyone was intoxicated by the enthusiasm of the local officials.
Night watch?
What night is it worth?
Which blind thief dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head?
Isn't that the old birthday star eating arsenic, and it's greasy?
Until midnight, a panicked shout of "go to the water, go to the water" suddenly broke the laughter of the docks.
The drunken people of all walks of life staggered out of the cabin to take a peek, and the five buildings moored in the middle of the pier were all lit up......
Look closely, good guy, isn't that the 500-man ship of the East Factory?
The 500 people of the East Factory have a total of five building ships, and they are still surrounded by major yamen ships.
Good guy, is there really a thief who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head?
The river breeze was cold, wrapped in a long-awaited barbaric and cruel atmosphere, coldly slapped on the faces of the officials and families, and woke up their drinking!
Like the stars holding the moon, the superintendent of Dongchang Factory, who was surrounded by officials from all walks of life, looked at his own burning ship, and his fat face was blue and white.
"It's all the opposite, it's all the opposite!"
He slapped the fence of the flower boat to pieces with one palm, and roared hoarsely: "Come on, dig out these thieves for the miscellaneous family, and kill Ling Chi, Ling Chi!" ”
The officials of Suzhou Mansion shrank in the crowd, wiping cold sweat...... In the realm of Suzhou, there are only serial docks that can dare to do this kind of case.
They all know it.
But none of them dared to say it.
for none of them can afford to offend.
Shen Fa and Wei Heng stood at the edge of the crowd with a pot of wine, looking at the raging fire in the room.
Shen Fa sighed: "Let's start, we have to stay away from that dead eunuch, don't teach blood to splash on us." ”
Wei Heng glanced at him speechlessly, and replied with a sigh: "Last year in Hangzhou, the miscellaneous family and the Li family father and son had a relationship, but I didn't expect it......"
Shen Fa groaned for a while, and said with a smile: "Normal, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black, how can a rabbit be friends with a lion tiger!" ”
Wei Heng shook his head: "The miscellaneous family is talking about Li Changjiang's old water ghost." ”
Shen Fa lifted the wine jug and took a sip: "Haven't you received any news from the Lianhuan Dock in your West Factory?" That old water ghost will die soon! ”
Wei Heng: "It's because the old water ghost is dying soon, the miscellaneous family can't figure it out, why does he dare to connive at his little water ghost to come out and provoke the East Factory, he doesn't want the foundation of the chain dock?" ”
Shen Fa said with a smile: "You can think about it, Li Jin may be rash when he is young, how can he be rash when he is young, how can he be rash when he is an old water ghost?" ”
Wei Heng: "How do you say this?" ”
Shen Fan: "The old water ghost is dying soon, can he tie Li Jincheng to the waistband of his trousers, and the foundation of his chain dock can be kept?" As for the enemies he has made over the years, as soon as he dies, not to mention whether his serial dock foundation can be kept, and even whether Li Jincheng can survive or not, he doesn't take advantage of the fact that he still has a breath now, and quickly supports Li Jincheng to come out and break through, hugging Yang Laoer's toad thigh, do you want to lock him in the house and wait for death? ”
As he spoke, he raised his chin at the raging fire in the room: "Look at how measured people are in this matter, it is clear that they are here to vent a bad breath for Yang Lao Er, just Yang Lao Er's dead brain, but if he doesn't die, who will be able to move the serial dock in the future?" The last Xiang family who moved the chain dock, the blood hasn't dried up yet! ”
Wei Heng scratched his forehead and stopped talking.
After a long while, he said, "Then let's just do it?" The unlucky one is the East Factory, and the disgraced ones are the imperial court! ”
"Or else?"
Shen Fa poured another sip of wine, spit out the smell of wine and said: "That old water ghost has a remnant life, and he is probably thinking about who to exchange his life with every day, do you want to exchange it with him?" If this account is calculated on Yang Lao Er, doesn't it force Yang Lao Er to fight with the imperial court? ”
Wei Heng scratched his head again, and after thinking hard for a long time, he finally gave up struggling, and said flatly: "You have a good brain, can't you think of a way to get the best of both worlds?" ”
Shen Fa only cared about drinking.
Wei Heng held down his wine jug: "You are talking!" ”
Shen Fa smiled bitterly: "The best of both worlds, I originally had it, I had planned it before, when I arrived in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I saw Yang Lao Er, so I opened my face to pester him to accompany the court to perform a play, and when I was done, I just found a death row prisoner to hand over a corpse to come out, even if this matter is in the past, he Yang Ge is still his Yang Ge, he can still go back to the Tingyue Inn to continue to do his shop Xiaoer, but the name 'Yang Erlang' can no longer be used, with my friendship with him, I expect him to give me this face." ”
Wei Heng: "What about now?" ”
Shen Fa raised his chin at Huang Jin, who was still furious: "That yin and yang man with a rotten ass dug up the ancestral grave of Yang Lao'er, and you still want him to bow his head?" Do I have that much face? ”
Wei Heng: "Just talk about things, don't scold the street...... Isn't that just an empty grave? Anyway, you're ready to show your face, it's a big deal to send it up and let him beat him up, that little bastard is very affectionate, and he will definitely give you this face. ”
"You still don't know him well enough......"
Shen Fan shook his head and said weakly: "If there is a piece of clothing in that grave, this matter will not be so tricky, just because there is nothing in that grave, this matter is a dead knot." ”
Wei Heng really couldn't understand: "Why is it an empty tomb, but it's still a bad thing?" ”
Shen Fa pursed the corners of his lips and sighed heavily: "You only know that guy is not afraid of death, but you don't know that he doesn't really want to live at all...... The people of his family are no longer here, he doesn't even have a piece of clothing to be buried, he set up that grave, just to find himself some thoughts to live and look forward, the dead eunuch pouted all his thoughts for him, and he was afraid that he didn't know that the epitaph was passed on everywhere, with that guy's temperament, he could kill Huang Jin to collect the knife, and he had to eat lightly recently. ”
Speaking of this, he muttered to himself tiredly: "Sometimes I wonder if I did something wrong in the first place, and I should let him rot in the one-acre and three-third of the land in the road pavilion...... Obviously, I wanted to pull him to the boat of the imperial court, and I wanted to use his talents to the right path, why did I come to this point by mistake? ”
Wei Heng was speechless, and scolded in a low voice resentfully for a long time: "Fools who fight insiders and outsiders fight outsiders have not achieved enough and have more than enough failures!" ”
Shen Fa raised the wine jug: "Just let him die!" ”
Wei Heng lifted the wine jug and touched him, but in the end, he couldn't help but ask again: "Since you think it so clearly, there must be some way, right?" Otherwise, why would we follow that old bastard? ”
Shen Fa glanced at him, and suddenly smiled strangely: "What's the way?" Of course there is, let's wait for that guy to come over with peace of mind, clean up the people in the East Factory, and after venting the evil fire in my heart, I will go up side by side to entangle that guy, and say good words to him, you have practiced the golden bell jar neatly, and when the time comes, you go up to fight the beating, and I will say good things to him on the side......"
When Wei Heng heard this, the wine in the jug almost spilled: "Are you serious?" ”
Shen Fa nodded with a straight face: "It's more real than real gold!" ”
Wei Heng immediately put on a mask of pain, held his aching old waist and complained: "Who did the miscellaneous family recruit and provoke whom?" ”
Shen Fa raised his head and poured a large sip of wine, raised his eyes to look at the lower reaches of the Bianhe River, his eyes seemed to have passed through the space, and he saw the lonely figure who came with a knife and a star and a moon.
He knew that after this time, his friendship with Yang Ge would probably not be left.
He couldn't figure it out, the court was right, and Yang Ge was right, what was wrong?
"Hey......"
He sighed softly in a voice that only he could hear, and muttered to himself, "Providence makes people! ”
Chickens fly and dogs jump overnight.
By dawn, the 500 men and horses of Dongchang returned in vain, so they had to requisition a few merchant ships as ships and continue to go south along the river.
After learning the lesson of last night's incident, the people of the Sixth Division neither traveled in the mountains and rivers, nor did they spend the snow and the moon......
But even if they work all the way, accidents are still frequent.
After a while, the ship bottomed out and the bottom compartment leaked.
For a while, the river was silted up in the dangerous shoals, and a large number of men had to be sent to dig the river before the boat could continue.
When we reached the Huai'an River section, seven or eight ships were directly connected together with iron locks, blocking the entire river and blocking the way.
Right.
It was the same trick that Xiang Jia's family had used at the beginning.
Even the blockade of the river is exactly the same!
He almost used his big ears to shave the faces of all the officials and family members of the six major yamen, and told them: 'You offended our second master and still want to beat us in front of the house? Grandmother! ’
Huang Jin, who silently recited 'Don't want extraneous branches' all the way, blew up again, stood on the merchant ship with the flag of Dongchang, jumped to his feet and roared, "It's the opposite", and ordered the fleet to rush up and kill this group of serial dock thieves who don't know the height of the sky.
The fans of the East Factory suddenly received the order, took out a mouthful of bright steel knives and squeezed them onto the deck, sharpening their knives.
And the serial dock thieves on the iron cable boat were also not intimidated at all, grabbing a weapon with a variety of handles and pointing at the fans of the East Factory, and the foul language flew all over the sky.
If it were somewhere else, they would really have to retreat when they bumped into the East Factory.
But in the Bianhe River...... When the Great Wei Sailor comes, he has to pay the toll!
Surrounded by the six dock masters, Li Jincheng walked to the bow of the ship with a bright silver gun, and looked at the rapidly approaching fleet with a solemn face.
Wang Er pressed a big ring knife and whispered urgently: "There are fewer people in charge, there are many people who come, we are afraid that we will not be able to withstand it!" ”
Li Jincheng replied in a low voice without changing his face: "Only the men and horses of the East Factory, as long as the rest of the officers and soldiers do not come forward, we will not move them, you look at the brothers, once you fall into the downwind, we will withdraw ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, a heroic laugh suddenly came from the river on the right bank: "It's better to come early than to come by chance...... Brethren, get on board! ”
As soon as Li Jincheng turned around, he saw countless men wrapped in red scarves and holding sharp knives crashing out of the mountains and forests, and there were one or two thousand people in a dense crowd, not to mention one or two thousand.
The man at the head, dressed in a golden suit and carrying a sword, although he was covered with a black scarf, Li Jincheng recognized him at a glance from afar.
Seeing the visitor, Li Jincheng's tense nerves relaxed, laughed and put his hands in front of his mouth, and shouted: "Hey...... You're so sassy! ”
The black-faced man laughed and replied, "Each other! ”
Don't be impatient, old man, there is a second chapter tonight~
