Chapter 490: Haizhou

When Yang Zhi entered the city in the morning, he could already feel a trace of tension, there were many officers and soldiers, but the examination of the people entering the city was not strict; Yang Zhi had a waist card from the Privy Council, but he walked into the city like this, and no one asked him along the way. Yang Zhi came to a gold and silver shop that had been opened, exchanged the gold leaves and silver for two thousand five hundred taels of silver tickets, and the courtiers sitting behind the counter saw that Yang Zhi still had a box that had not been opened, and specially ran out and asked: "Guest officer, don't you change the things in this box?"

Yang Zhi had already smashed all the gold and silver artifacts into pieces with his weapon in advance, and the gold and silver pieces were placed in two packages in the box. Yang Zhi took out the package of silver pieces and opened it to the court, and said apologetically: "The composition of these things is different, and they are fragments, I am going to go to the gold and silver shop to weigh and exchange." ”

Chao Feng's eyes were vicious, and he expected that what was in front of him was a piece of silver, and the other package was a piece of gold, and according to the rules, the gold and silver shops were all purchased at a discount; Chao Feng smiled and said: "The guest officer doesn't know, our money village also does the business of gold and silver shops, this is the material for making straight silver and silverware, we can collect it in 60 percent; if your bag is a gold piece, we also have a channel, and we will receive it according to 60 percent." ”

As soon as Yang Zhi heard this, he knew that Chao Feng had deducted half of his amount, shook his head and said, "It's a little less, so let's give another twenty taels of silver, so that you and I don't have to worry about it again." ”

Chao Feng smiled and said: "It turns out that the guest officer is an expert, so it's decided." ”

Qian Zhuang's buddies and Yang Zhi counted face to face, one hundred and twelve taels of gold, one hundred and thirty-one taels of silver, Yang Zhi received another thousand two hundred and forty taels of silver tickets and twenty taels of silver, and left satisfied, those dozen pieces of jewelry Yang Zhi was afraid of causing trouble, and was unwilling to sell them in Haizhou, so he left them all on his body. When Yang Zhi left Qianzhuang, he went to the Chengnan porcelain shop to buy two boxes of porcelain, tied the boxes, put them on horseback, and led the horse to the Yonghui Inn in Guanshan Lane, where he opened a room and lived in.

The actions of the officers and soldiers show that Song Sanlang's whereabouts are the same as in history, and Yang Zhi is going to wait carefully to get the greatest advantage in the game between Zhang Shuye and Song Sanlang. Yang Zhi slept until he got up in the afternoon, and when he went to eat on the street, he heard people talking that Song Sanlang's vanguard had arrived in Muyang, and Uncle Zhang, the prefect of Haizhou, was out of the list at night, spending a lot of money to recruit dead soldiers and swear to defend Haizhou.

Yang Zhi smiled casually, walked into the wine shop on the side of the road, ordered pig's head meat and peanuts, asked for a pot of wine, and ate and drank slowly; Zhang Shuye's move seemed to be a ruined boat, but in fact there were too many intriguing places, Haizhou was an important town on Huainan East Road, and the subordinate Lianshui County was even connected with the Lianshui Army of Junzhou, as well as the army of the mine supervisor, and there was no shortage of troops; besides, Song Sanlang was going to rob the ship, where did the dozen or so sea ships come from.

Yang Zhi was halfway through eating and drinking, and called the guy and asked, "Do you often have passenger ships at the docks in Haizhou?"

"Guest officer, you saw the ship by the sea, it is not a passenger ship to do business, Haizhou does not have a city shipping department, and foreign businessmen are not allowed to get off the ship to do business, it is a fleet going south, temporarily relying on Haizhou to avoid the wind and waves. The guy seems to be a know-it-all, Yang Zhi didn't have time to speak, and a guest on the side smiled: "Little Er, what you said is true." ”

The guy put on a stand and said, "I'm not talking nonsense, now every day there are officials who go up to check on them, and some of them come to us to drink, I really hear it." ”

The customers in the store all laughed, people, they all want to show that they have a little ability, a little bit of bragging capital. Yang Zhi also smiled and said to the guy: "Add another fried pork liver, do you know which country's fleet it is?"

"Wakoku, we often have little sampans coming here, and I recognize that kind of costume. Yang Zhi finished his meal unhurriedly, walked out of the east gate to the seaside, and could see eleven big ships from a distance, saying that they were merchant ships, which looked like the old-fashioned loach ships of the Tang Dynasty, relying on manpower to step on the driving wheel body in the ship, and a ship could fit two or three hundred people.

There are officers and soldiers from Haizhou guarding them, and the people on the boat can't get down, and the people below can't go up, but Yang Zhi walked a few miles along the coast, and he still saw some clues, some fishing boats on the beach were not fishermen, and the skin of those fishermen was too white, not at all like people begging for a living at sea. People are people who want to live, Yang Zhi is an outsider, he will not smash the jobs of those smugglers for no reason, Yang Zhi cares about what stories will be between the Japanese ship, Zhang Shuye's official mansion and Song Sanlang's rebels.

Yang Zhi returned to the city, went around the Yamen of Haizhou Zhizhou, and quietly asked in the teahouse and department store, and it was easy to know that Zhang Shuye was a Qing official, and everyone in Haizhou City knew that Zhang Shuye did not buy a house in the city, and the family lived in the backyard of the prefect's yamen. Yang Zhi went to the back streets and alleys to take a look at the terrain, then went back to the inn to sleep and rest, and did not get up until late at night.

Yang Zhi changed into a set of dark clothes, put on a mask, and went out through the window of the inn; a thunderclap shook Haizhou, and the wind blew on the road, blowing the clothes of the people on the road, and there was a startled movement of horses and donkeys jumping and neighing in many houses. The raindrops of beans poured down, and for a time it was dark and the visibility was low to the limit; Yang Zhi secretly called for heaven to help me, and while the officers and soldiers on patrol were busy sheltering from the rain, he unfolded his body and slipped into the alley in the backyard of the Zhizhou Yamen without realizing it.

There is no one in the alley, the backyard of the Zhizhou Yamen is connected with the walls of the left and right houses, Yang Zhi jumped on the high wall of the house on the right in two steps, and looked at the backyard of the yamen on the wall, a courtyard where the garden and the martial arts training ground are mixed into one, the plantains, pear trees, etc. are all in the east, and there is a row of weapon racks erected in the west, and the gatekeeper's residence is in the two huts on the side of the back door. Yang Zhi was not in the mood to look at the flowers, and he was not even exempted from asking for directions on a rainy day, and slid into the backyard like a fish along the high wall of the house, directly lifting his breath and lightening his body, with the help of the fence and eaves, a few jumps rushed through a distance of nearly ten zhang, and finally fell on a tiled house.

The night is deep and the rain hits the tile eaves, and the conversation and laughter in the big tile house not far away are particularly clear, as if it is a strange sound guiding Yang Zhi's direction, Yang Zhi ignored the wet clothes, and slowly approached the tile house, which can be seen from the open screen window, there are six seats open, and there is a middle-aged man with a good face sitting in the middle, although he is wearing civilian clothes, between his gestures, he is still full of the confidence of the superior.

There are two military generals sitting on the left two seats, even in the face of fine wine and food, they are still in soft armor, one is over half a hundred years old, and the other is more than ten years younger, all of them have the same extraordinary bearing; and on the other side of the three seats, sitting in the top two seats are Xie Shi and Hu Yanzhuo, and the bottom seat is a widow, still dressed in clothes close to the Tang Dynasty, and there is a long knife on the table.

Yang Zhi listened carefully, and heard Xie Shi say: "Lord Zhang, Song Daxia is full of sincerity, he has been doing the right thing for heaven from the beginning, and now he is willing to follow the lord." "Read the latest chapter of "Ironium Dragon's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
