Peach and plum spring breeze and a glass of wine
Chapter 71 Timely Rain
"What the hell? That dead eunuch hasn't left yet?"
Yang Ge had just finished practicing the Eighteen-Way Lingshuang Knife in the courtyard with his bare arms.
Fang Ke came over. He was getting dressed in a hurry when he was stunned by what Fang Ke said. He thought to himself: 'Is it going to take more than two months to go through the motions? ’
Fang Ke kept moving around like an ant on a hot pot: "Sir, things have gotten serious..."
Yang Ge scolded softly: "Why are you so anxious? The sky will not fall. Please tell me carefully what is going on!"
Fang Ke scratched his head vigorously and replied as concisely as possible: "The imperial envoy came to our road pavilion to investigate the fact that the three major grain companies were hoarding food and driving up food prices. The news has spread, and there are countless people in the rivers and lakes in all provinces who are eager for justice. People are currently flocking towards Luting County, calling for friends. The vanguard is about to arrive. There are at least one hundred and eighty people in number. According to reports from behind, there are at least five or six hundred people..."
Yang Ge scratched his head after hearing this: "What does the imperial envoy's investigation have to do with those Jianghu people?"
Fang Ke stared at Yang Ge: "You don't have anything in mind?"
Yang Ge was stunned and suddenly realized: "Zhang Mazi?"
Fang Ke held up his hands with an expressionless expression: "I haven't even had time to congratulate you, sir. Without leaving the road pavilion, I have already made a name for myself in the world. The name of 'Timely Rain' Zhang Mazi is now known to everyone in the world." I don’t know, it’s so hot!”
"What? What did you say? Timely rain?"
Yang Ge suddenly opened his eyes wide... Is it actually me with my butt raised?
He immediately said angrily: "Who the hell came up with this nickname? Is this nickname just for fun?"
He was anxious, and Fang Ke smiled: "So that the adults will know, nicknames don't count if they are chosen by oneself. They must be unanimously recognized by the world... Unfortunately, your nickname of 'Timely Rain' is... It has been unanimously recognized by people in the world!”
Yang Ge suddenly felt anxious and walked around twice with his hands down.
But he soon felt relieved and sneered: "Shiyu is Zhang Mazi, what does it have to do with Yang Ge, the manager of Yuelai Inn?"
Fang Ke slowly raised a thumbs up in stunned silence: "It has to be you!"
Yang Ge: "Don't talk nonsense, you are worried that those people in the world will be unfavorable to that dead eunuch, right?"
Fang Ke: "Isn't this inevitable? When there are more people, the mouths and the hands are also mixed. With so many people in the world working together, if there is a weak-minded person who touches that Eunuch Wang, what can we do? Everyone’s head will fall to the ground!”
Yang Ge felt that what he said made sense, and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed: "No, what is that dead eunuch doing in Luting? It's been more than two months, let alone just going through the motions, he is really investigating the case. It’s time for you to close the case and return to Beijing to resume your life, right?”
Fang Ke: "How do you know about this humble position? Anyway, he hasn't done anything serious in the past two months. He just drinks and eats meat with the officials and gentry to collect money every day. The money he has collected in these two months will make us afraid of it for several lifetimes." You can only earn a small amount, and I’m not willing to leave even if you leave me alone!”
Yang Ge listened to his story and suddenly asked after thinking: "Are you really not aware, or are you pretending not to know? Has he really not done anything serious in the past two months? He has not done it. Where are the people under him? ?”
Fang Ke knew what he was referring to, and after a moment of hesitation, he replied: "To be honest, I had thought about this before, and felt that Eunuch Wang might be building a plank road openly and secretly visiting Chen Cang, but I really didn't find out. He has done serious things...at least among the people who followed him into the city, there must be none!"
Yang Ge thought for a moment and then asked: "How did the three major grain accounts react?"
Fang Ke replied: "It was normal at first. When we should give money to Eunuch Wang here, we will give money, and when other places should make money, we will continue to make money. In the past month or so... I heard that the food prices in other places have also begun to increase. Decreased!"
There was a smile on Yang Ge's face: "This is a good thing! It seems that Eunuch Wang has done something good!"
Fang Ke was not as optimistic as he was: "Sir, there is actually no difference. Grain prices started to rise in July and August last year, and the grain stocks in the hands of the people were cleared. Around the beginning of winter, heavy knives began to be cut. It has been more than three months now. It’s winter again. Those who should have sold their houses and fields have already sold their houses and fields, those who should have sold their children have sold their children and their daughters, and those who should have starved to death have long since died of hunger..."
"Don't talk about it, just talk about our road pavilion. If you hadn't stood up for the neighbors, I'm afraid people would have started to starve to death in the twelfth lunar month last year, right?"
"If you want them to keep food at a high level, can you imagine what Luting will look like now?"
"Don't you think Luting is still the gateway to Beijing and an important place in the capital?"
"They cut even harder in Hebei, Henan, Huainan, Jiangnan and other places!"
"I heard from my humble position that people in Huainan started fleeing in groups years ago. They colluded with the county soldiers and trapped the hungry people in Huainan..."
The smile on Yang Ge's face gradually disappeared, and he let out a long sigh: "So, the three major grain merchants are wiping their butts, right?"
Fang Ke nodded: "Judging from the humble knowledge of my humble position... yes!"
Yang Ge tilted his lips and asked: "What are those people from the world going to do when they come to Luting?"
Fang Ke said in shock: "Are you really planning to let them enter the city?"
Yang Ge looked at him: "If we don't let them enter the city, they won't be able to enter the city? Why, you are afraid that the dead eunuch will die in their hands and it will harm you, so you are going to die at the city gate first, and not let the dead eunuch die." Will it hurt your chances?"
reality!
Reality in the world!
The front foot also calls people Wang Gonggong.
He scolded two dead eunuchs in just one sentence!
Fang Ke simply obeyed his immediate superior: "Then we can't just watch those reckless men go into the city and kill that damn eunuch. His death is a small thing, but the consequences for our brothers will be a big deal!"
Yang Ge waved his hand calmly: "Why are you so anxious? Doesn't that dead eunuch still have eight hundred forbidden troops? How can he be killed so easily? Besides, the ones who least want anything to happen to that dead eunuch now are probably not us, right?"
Fang Ke was stunned for a moment, as if waking up from a dream: "What do you mean..."
Yang Ge: "Have you forgotten the old stories about Jianning you told me before?"
"The imperial envoy died, all the five officials in the south of the Yangtze River were exterminated, and the weaving bureau named the Zhuyi tribe!"
"You and I, brothers, have nothing to offer and are just a bachelor, so we will die in one fell swoop!"
"The three major grain merchants all have wives and concubines, their children are on their knees, and they all die according to their genealogy!"
"No one is afraid, but you are afraid of a ball!"
Fang Ke suddenly understood: "I understand, Beizhi, this is where to go..."
Yang Ge stopped him: "Come back!"
Fang Ke came back quickly: "Do you have any other instructions, sir?"
Yang Ge picked up the Floating Shadow Knife and returned to the center of the courtyard, showing the starting position of the Lingshuang Knife: "I welcome those Jianghu people coming to Luting to complain and redress their grievances!"
"However, no one can oppress the people and act recklessly in the road pavilion in the name of filing a complaint and redressing grievances!"
"Go to the city gate and set up a rule for me: Anyone who practices martial arts, after entering the city, put aside their grudges, and use weapons rashly will be punished with death for killing, punishment for wounding, whipping for bullying, and punishment for robbing, all in a strict and severe manner. , Treat everyone equally, don’t say you didn’t predict what you said!”
Just three or two sentences.
But Fang Ke felt goosebumps all over his body.
He clasped his fists in sincerity and said, "Lu Ting is lucky enough to meet an adult!"
Yang Ge replied without looking back: "I am lucky that Luting can accept me..."
Fang Ke smiled, hugged Yang Ge again, turned around and left in a hurry.
Yang Ge meticulously practiced the Eighteen-Way Lingshuang Knife again before finally ending his practice during the day.
He entered the house with a knife, and after a while he came out fully dressed, with a dog leash in his hand, standing in front of the door and shouting: "Xiao Huang, Xiao Huang, go out to play..."
Xiao Huang rushed out of the backyard, sticking out his tongue and looking at Yang Ge with a smile.
Yang Ge shook the dog leash at it and said with a smile: "Let's go to your Grandpa Liu's house!"
Everyone in the world is a fat sheep.
If he didn't seize the opportunity to kill them, he wouldn't be able to afford the wages shopkeeper Liu paid him!
It’s time for the copper pot that has been sealed for a long time in their Yuelai Inn to come back to the world...
The rest of the updates may be a bit late, so those of you who go to bed early don’t wait. Get up and watch them tomorrow morning... I love you all, and I’m very sincere!
