Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye nodded and sighed softly: "Hey, this is also the brother who came to Yangzhou from Chang'an with us, but he died of illness on the boat. He is dead, so we can't throw him into the water to feed the fish, right? My son is benevolent, We must bring him back to Yangzhou for a deep burial, so that he can at least be buried in peace, right?"

The school lieutenant nodded suspiciously, and while reaching out to uncover the white sheet to see what happened, he asked, "It's a pity that he died before he was born. By the way, what disease did he suffer from?"

While speaking, the bed sheet was about to be lifted.

Guo Ye quickly said: "Leprosy!"

Bass~

The captain's hand holding the bed sheet suddenly retracted, took two steps back, and said in horror as if he had bumped into a ghost: "Ma... Ma... leprosy??"

Guo Ye said: "No, otherwise, why does our brother wear a bamboo hat? Isn't he afraid of being infected? If the captain doesn't believe it, I will lift the sheet and let you see that face..."

As he spoke, Guo Ye gently pinched the single corner of the quilt, half-covering half of Chen Jitao's cheek...

vomit~~

Seeing that, the captain felt nauseous and almost vomited acid water. Damn it, half of his sallow and sallow face was covered with black spots the size of sesame seeds. Could this be leprosy or what?

In an instant, he backed up a few steps, covered his nose and screamed: "Take it away, go to the ground and be safe. By the way, you'd better go to the medicine shop in the city, this leprosy is contagious." Yes!!!!"

After screaming, he turned around and ran towards the river, yelling as he ran: "Hurry up, everyone who was within five steps of the corpse just now, all of them will run to the riverside to take a bath with me, hurry, hurry..."

Boom~

Immediately afterwards, nearly 200 government soldiers Sa Yazi rushed to the river.

Guo Ye was speechless for a while, and secretly smiled, really frightened.

Afterwards, he winked at the two soldiers, then turned back to Changsun Yumo, and the two looked at each other, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.

Only the elder Sun Yumo waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me into the city!"

Chapter 746

Guo Ye and his party walked out of the checkpoint for about three miles and stopped when they found a remote place.

Liu Zhenxuan led people to look around, and after confirming that there was no tail following him, he informed Chen Jitao, who was carrying a leprosy corpse on a stretcher, that he could be "resurrected".

huh~~

Hearing this, Chen Jitao got up from the stretcher immediately, and while wiping his sallow and sallow face painted by Mao Laojiu with his hands, he complained: "Oh, the stinky salted fish in this sheet has killed me, and it has killed me. I almost vomited out the overnight meal."

It immediately caused Guo Ye and the others to laugh out loud.

Guo Yele said: "I can't help it. If you don't put some stinky salted fish, how can it look like a stinky corpse? And don't say that you died of leprosy. I really can't remember that these people will lift the quilt and look at the portrait to find out. At that time, wouldn’t all previous efforts be wasted? By the way, Chen Juncheng, how far is it from the east gate of Yangzhou City now?”

Chen Jitao said: "This place is about five miles away from the east gate. Once you enter the east gate, you will be in the city of Yangzhou."

The eldest grandson Yu Mo reminded: "Guo Ye, Chen Juncheng can't enter the city with us for the time being. At this time, people from Tong Huan and Zhang Chengzong in Yangzhou City are hunting him all over the world."

Guo Ye was taken aback for a moment, but he really forgot about this.

But Chen Jitao didn't have to worry at all, and said in a low voice: "Guo Inspector, don't worry about being dismissed. I know that there is a mountain valley to the north from here, and there is a Taoist temple on the mountain valley called Taiqing Temple. It is rarely visited by people on weekdays. That Taiqing Temple The temple master was favored by my father-in-law in the early years, so it would be no problem for me to hide there for a while. Tong Huan and Zhang Chengzong knew that I had escaped from Yangzhou City, so they probably thought that I was absconding on the canal, and they would not have thought that I would turn back again. After Mr. Guo, you and Tong Huan hand over the position of governor, I will be able to return safely. At that time, Tong Huan will be transferred to another place. Even if Zhang Chengzong wants to harm me, he will not dare to come blatantly."

Guo Ye nodded slightly, and said: "That's right, Tong Huan's purpose is to hide the assassin's golden seal when I hand over to him so that I have no real name. As long as I take out the assassin's golden seal in front of him, forgive him. You can talk. When the time comes, you will come back generously, and no one will dare to touch you without me. In this way, I will send you four personal soldiers to follow you, and they will be able to protect you in an emergency."

As he spoke, he dispatched four soldiers from among the three hundred to guard Chen Jitao and went to the Taiqing Temple in the col.

As soon as Chen Jitao left, Guo Ye said to his elder Sun Yumo and Liu Zhenxuan: "The most urgent task is to get the troops of Yangzhou Zhechong Duwei's Mansion into our hands as soon as possible. In this way, since Yumo has been exposed, why don't you go into the city generously Take over the post of Fuya Biejia, and help me to understand more about the movements of Tong Huan, Zhang Chengzong and others at this time. You have the name of the eldest grandson to protect you. Forgive them for not daring to do anything to you. At least from the bright side , you, Zhang Chengzong, Tong Huan and others are all on the same boat."

Changsun Yumo nodded silently, agreeing with Guo Ye's statement.

Immediately afterwards, Guo Ye said to Liu Zhenxuan: "Zhenxuan, you enter the east gate together with Yu Mo, take the official credentials of Captain Guo Yi and bring three hundred soldiers, and go to Zhechong Captain's Mansion to report on your duties. Captain Zhechong has already been transferred away. At this time, there is no leader in the mansion of Captain Zhechong, and Tong Huan has always been in control. Take this opportunity, you try your best to hold the mansion of Captain Zhechong and temporarily take the post of Captain Zhechong. With Yumo taking care of you in the government office, it shouldn't be too dangerous."

Liu Zhenxuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Hou, I will do my best."

Changsun Yumo heard that Guo Ye didn't seem to have any plans to go to the city, so he couldn't help asking: "What about you? Could it be that you don't want to show up to meet Tong Huan yet? I said why bother? Since you Knowing where Chen Jitao hid the official seal in the Governor's Mansion, he simply went to the city to hand over Tong Huan, and let that guy go away earlier, wouldn't it be over?"

Guo Ye shook his head and said with a smile: "Since I haven't been exposed, why did I show up so early? Sometimes I can do more things in the dark. Besides, don't forget that the candidate for Captain Zhechong hasn't been found yet. Now I must personally visit Chen Lang, the leader of the Salt Gang, and persuade him to take up the post of Captain Zhechong, so that I can use his power to rectify the law and order in Yangzhou City. Moreover, relying on his strength from the Salt Gang is the key to fighting against the Zhang family in Yangzhou. Otherwise, even if the [-] soldiers of Zhechong Duwei's Mansion listen to my restraint, it's useless, and it's just a drop in the bucket to deal with a behemoth like the Zhang family."

Chang Sun Yumo stopped persuading him after hearing this, because Guo Ye was telling the truth, but he was negligent and thoughtful.

Liu Zhenxuan suddenly asked: "Master Hou, the leader of the Salt Gang, Chen Lang, is a reckless man after all, why don't I keep three hundred soldiers by your side, so that you can handle whatever happens."

Guo Ye shook his head, pointed to the direction of the ferry pier just now, and said with a smile: "Do you think we just entered the checkpoint with hundreds of people in a mighty manner, and now we are leaving the checkpoint with a lot of noise? Isn't it just to arouse others' suspicion? It's not as good as me. Going out of the checkpoint will not arouse others' suspicion."

Liu Zhenxuan asked in surprise: "Could it be that the Salt Gang is based in the waters of Yangzhou?"

Guo Ye smiled and said: "Haha, you are a bit mentally retarded when you ask this question. Could it be that the Salt Gang will set up their halls in the city and wait for the Zhang family to take them all together? To prevent them from being besieged by the government, they are basically Wandering east and west on the waters of Yangzhou, but Su Dingfang mentioned to me how to find the salt gang and their joint codes before. He said that as long as you find a fishing boat on the shore, there are three bamboo poles stuck in the bow and stern of the fishing boat. This is the eyeliner and spies arranged by the Salt Gang at the ferry pier. As long as I get on this boat and say the password for the entrance of the Salt Gang, they will take me to see Chen Lang."

Liu Zhenxuan snorted, listening to this complicated and secretive connection method, couldn't help showing a look of worry on his face.

And the elder Sun Yumo, who has never dealt with people in the Jianghu, even croaked: "Guo Ye, what if Chen Lang is a vicious man who hates the government and knows that you are the new governor of Yangzhou and wants to harm you? What to do? It’s really not possible, let’s think of another way?”

Guo Ye shook his head indifferently, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I believe that Chen Lang is a bit of a fool, but he is not so disregarding the overall situation. After all, he and I have a common enemy - the Zhang family in Yangzhou Besides, I still have Su Dingfang's autographed letter on me. No matter how bad it is, it's also a talisman. A man like Chen Lang speaks righteously. You don't have to worry about this. Okay, let's go, remember If you live with me, while protecting yourself, you must try your best to gain the initiative. The day when I am exposed is the time for us to act together."

"Okay, brother, I'll wait for you at the Yangzhou government office!"

"Master Hou, you must take care!"

After Changsun Yumo and Liu Zhenxuan finished speaking one after another, they hurriedly led their people towards the east gate five miles away.

After watching the crowd go away, Guo Ye turned back and headed towards the ferry terminal again.

Soon, he passed the checkpoint smoothly. Because of the constant stream of people coming and going, the soldiers guarding the checkpoint had no impression of him at all. Seeing that his behavior was not suspicious, they hastily let him out of the checkpoint.

When he came to the shore near the ferry, he really found a fishing boat with three bamboo poles inserted in the bow and stern of the fishing boat, exactly as Su Dingfang said.

He boarded the fishing boat and found the boatman, a strong man in his thirties.

Guo Ye whispered in his ear a secret signal taught by Su Dingfang, and sure enough, the strong man also replied that he was a spy of the Salt Gang.

Moreover, he was not the only spy nearby. He blew a whistle, and three secret whistles appeared nearby, and boarded the boat one after another.

Guo Ye did not disclose his family background, but explained his intentions. The spies of the Salt Gang had no doubts about him. They immediately untied the ropes tied to the pillars on the shore, hoisted the sails and sailed the boat with four people, and took Guo Ye to meet the leader of the gang, Chen Lang.

But it should be the rules of the Salt Gang. They asked Guo Ye to be blindfolded when the fishing boat reached the middle of the river, saying that Guo Ye was not a member of the Salt Gang, and they couldn't let him see and remember the route to the entrance.

If it comes, it will be safe. Since it is the rule of the Salt Gang, Guo Ye also felt that there was no need to break it, so he let it go, and let them put black cloth on his eyes.

Seeing Guo Ye's cooperation, the spies from the Salt Gang didn't make things difficult for him, and even arranged for someone to chat with Guo Ye.

Sitting on the fishing boat, although Guo Ye couldn't see with his eyes, but listening to the wind in his ears and the waves on the river, he knew that the fishing boat was still moving forward, and he didn't know exactly where it was going.

After about a long time, a spy suddenly took off his blindfold and said, "My friend, you're here. This is our hall, and the leader of my family is here."

When he took off the blindfold, he thought that his eyes would be very uncomfortable, but he didn't expect that the sky was getting dark at this time, and although the moon was not yet high in the sky, the stars had begun to light up.
