Sha Po Lang

Yang Ronggui is eight feet tall and looks talented. When he was young, he was also a well-known good man. Now he is a little older and has two mustaches, adding a bit of maturity and stability. It's not superficial, but it's different from the hideous appearance Xu Ling imagined.

But at this time, the real Xu Lingshang met him.

Yang Ronggui's city mansion is very deep, and he seldom reveals what he thinks in his heart. Yin Zhengkun of Yangzhou Mansion, who has been serving the left and right, can see it. Although he didn't see much joy, Zheng Kun knew that he was in a good mood, so he stepped forward and said jokingly: "It seems that Master Yang and His Highness Yan Wang are very close?"

The implication-Yan Wang probably also knows the depth of the officialdom, and he didn't want to pursue it to the end. He just used the topic to make use of it to gather his own power.

Yang Ronggui smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Yan Wang is a young talent, as long as he is tempered a little, he will have a lot to do in the future. Fushi Xu is a upright person, and he is a rare Qingliu - but I was thinking of Marquis Anding to go with them, but I didn't expect Hou Master is so anxious about military affairs, he passed the gate of Yangzhou mansion without entering, and went directly to the Jiangbei camp, it is a pity that he failed to meet me, the Army God of Daliang."

Zheng Kun has been with him for a long time, he is a clever sycophant, he immediately thinks he understands Governor Yang's meaning - Yan Wang is young and ambitious, he has already shown his feet in a few words, so he is easy to deal with. Don't worry about him, the best thing is that I don't know whether it is because of the avoidance of "generals don't interfere in internal affairs", or King Yan deliberately did it. Andinghou was sent away, so they can give it a go.

Yang Ronggui and Zheng Kun looked at each other and smiled.Yang Ronggui said: "This time there are unruly people's rumors spread to the capital, the prince wants to investigate one or two out of reason, you tell your subordinates to get ready, we will stand up straight, don't be afraid to investigate."

Zheng Kun smiled knowingly: "Yes, don't worry, my lord."

After dismissing the joyous Zheng Kun, the slight joy on Yang Ronggui's face was put away, and his eyes were full of evil.

Knowing that King Yan is not easy to get rid of, I didn't expect it to be so hard to get rid of. If Lu Shilang hadn't reminded him in advance, I'm afraid he would have been fooled. Then what kind of tricks did Prince Yan use to turn the court upside down?How could he be a young man?

Even Zheng Kun didn't reveal the big plan they planned in secret, and it has been kept strictly secret. If the Yan King came and acted vigorously with swords and swords, it would be just a matter of fact, which would be fine, but he mustered up his energy to deal with it like this... I'm afraid something big will happen.

That has to be done ASAP.

When Yang Ronggui and the others took the "chief and deputy imperial envoys" to visit their sparsely populated "refugees" in the suburbs, Chang Geng and Xu Ling dressed in disguise and went around to inquire about the situation of the refugees. What puzzled Mr. Xu most was that this noble His Royal Highness King Yan is like a fish in water in the market, and he can chat with small traders and people from all walks of life. When he sees what people say, there is a fake King Yan in front of them, and basically no one cares about them. In a few days, Xu Ling I have already made a few friends who can go to other people's houses for a meal with King Yan.

The things I wanted to inquire about gradually took shape.

"That is to say, there used to be a lot of refugee camps outside the city, but now I don't know where to go, right... Wang... shopkeeper, be careful!" Xu Ling was talking to the shopkeeper while staring at Yan Yan next to him in fear. Wang——This is a small tavern in the suburbs of Yangzhou. The owner is a retired bodyguard. His surname is Sun. Wine, and there are many people from the rivers and lakes who praise his business, so the business can continue to be precarious. For some reason, Boss Sun got on the wrong temper with King Yan. At this time, the hotel was closed, and King Yan carved a plaque for him on the spot , was stepping on a bench to hang on the door, the bench was missing a leg, no one touched him and would still be shaking in the air.

Boss Sun laughed and said, "The shopkeeper in your house is very skilled, so you don't need to worry about it—what are the refugees doing? Now that foreign dogs occupy the south of the Yangtze River, there are many displaced people, and death is worthless."

Xu Lingdao: "I heard that there are [-] refugees in the north of the Yangtze River. Our master ordered the two of us to come and explore the banks of the canal. We wanted to take in these refugees and build factories to work in. We ran all the way here, but we didn't see any of them. Who should we turn to?" to work?"

Boss Sun had already drank a jin of rice wine, his face was flushed, and his eyes were wandering. Hearing this, he gave Xu Ling a drunken look, bared his yellow teeth and smiled, "Why, trick me?"

Xu Ling: "..."

Chang Geng took the hammer, nailed the steel nails into the door of the tavern neatly, jumped down, the three-legged bench remained motionless from beginning to end, smiled and shook his head - Master Xu has been reading books for a long time since he was a child. Big, and then became an official in the court, and has been hanging around in the capital. How have you dealt with these old Jianghu with their heads pinned to their waistbands?

Boss Sun glanced at Chang Geng, and said with a big tongue: "White Dragon Fish Clothes, the shopkeeper's is not easy."

Xu Ling broke out in a cold sweat, but Chang Geng took the jug handed over by Boss Sun without hesitation, and drank half of it in one gulp: "What about white dragons and black dragons? Some people will always encounter ghosts when they walk too much at night. I am that ghost."

Boss Sun looked at Chang Geng meaningfully for a while, and said with a smile, "How did the imperial envoy find me?"

Chang Geng's identity was clearly revealed, but he still said without changing his face: "It's nothing, I just think that the business of Boss Sun's tavern is too good, there are only three or two tables of customers every day, and the drinks and vegetables are busy, can you finish your meal? "

Boss Sun looked up at him, there was no trace of drunkenness on his face, his eyes clearly showed a fierce look, Xu Ling's eyes were sharp, and he saw a hideous short knife hidden under his robe.

Xu Ling stood up abruptly: "My lord!"

The people who were dozing off in the restaurant, those who settled the accounts, and the waiters all stood up, all of them were naked, and they seemed to have weapons around their waists. They were all Lianjiazi.

Two guards from the Xuantie Battalion blocked the door, one on the left and the other on the right, and Xu Ling subconsciously clenched a saber for self-defense.

Chang Geng gently put the jug on the table, and said with a "click": "When I came here, I was thinking, where can I hide so many refugees, and the worst thing is that Yang Ronggui is so mad that he is so mad that In the name of the epidemic, many refugees were gathered together, and they were all murdered—"

Boss Sun grinned grimly and said, "His Royal Highness King Yan really understands the thoughts of those dog officials under your command. You are worthy of being the leader of the dog officials."

"The head of the dog officer is my elder brother, not me," Chang Geng said flatly, "But no matter how mad Yang Ronggui is, he may not have that much ability. If he really drove and killed the refugees forcibly, there would have been riots all over the place. It's impossible. Don't disturb the Jiangbei garrison."

Boss Sun gave him a cold look: "Yang Ronghui claimed that the villa for resettling the refugees has been built, and Zhuangzi is backed by the mountain. He will take these refugees to open up wasteland and farm, slowly settle down, send people to register, and give each refugee a piece of land. Number plate, according to the number plate, they are distributed to different villas. How to divide the land and how to collect rent is clearly explained, and let the three or five groups of refugees choose their own leaders. If you don’t want to go, you can do it yourself , There is no longer porridge outside Yangzhou city—the sick people are isolated separately, and they are isolated in other hospitals, and doctors administer medicine, and all the doctors in Yangzhou city are there that day."

If you are a person from the rivers and lakes, as long as you have a little bit of black and white, you will have a place to go. Most of the refugees are honest and poor people. The lifelong wish of these people is to settle down and live a good life. As long as they can live, As long as life is getting better day by day and there is hope, there will be no troubles.

If Yang Ronghui said where to build a better shelter, some people must feel that something is wrong, but Yang Ronghui made it clear that they should open up wasteland and farm land, and even down-to-earth said the rules first, and even the tenants may be better than the landlords and owners back then. A little higher, in this precarious situation, enough for these refugees to manage themselves and follow his pace steadily.

Xu Ling was very puzzled when he heard this. He thought that Yang Ronggui was a wine bag and a vegetarian meal, and his subordinates caused an epidemic. Why are there so many refugees?

Xu Lingdao: "Creating wasteland is also a good way. Since Governor Yang has managed the refugees well, why did he conceal the epidemic situation?"

Boss Sun sarcastically said: "The imperial envoy eats the king's salary. He is really carefree and innocent. I don't know where the money comes from."

Xu Ling was stunned for a while, then suddenly realized: "You mean that Yang Ronggui took the life-saving money allocated by the court to settle the refugees!"

As soon as this sentence came out, Xu Ling regretted it, because he said it too unearthly. Sure enough, the next moment, King Yan and Boss Sun laughed at the same time, Xu Ling blushed, and hurriedly added: "I just didn't expect Yang Ronggui is so daring, with the enemy-occupied area just across the river, and next to the Jiangbei camp, how dare he..."

"Jiangbei camp can't be moved casually," Chang Geng said in a low voice, "Once there is a change in the enemy army, no one can take responsibility. If Yang Ronggui wants to hide it, Mr. Zhong and the others may not be able to know the situation here."

Boss Sun sneered, disapproving of his explanation.

"As long as he controls the Beishang Post Station, he can cover the sky with one hand." Chang Geng turned to Boss Sun and said, "Since Brother Sun knows so well, he must have helped to gather the refugees—I guess, there are many fishermen in the land of two rivers, and later There is Shahai to help both water and land, I wonder which road Boss Sun is a friend of?"

Xu Ling on the other side didn't think about the taste at first, and only thought the words "Shahai Gang" were familiar to him. Suddenly, Boss Sun turned his head and smiled, revealing a hideous scar from his ear to his mandible. Then he suddenly remembered—— ——The Shahai gang has power all over the south of the Yangtze River and Fujian, and it is a big gang!

Boss Sun is not a bodyguard, he is a bandit!The restaurant is not Xinghuacun, but a steamed stuffed bun seller!

Xu Ling suddenly became nervous, trying to block Yan Wang behind him as a powerless scholar: "You...you are..."

Chang Geng cupped his hands and said: "Every time the righteousness is slaughtering dogs, there are also gentlemen in the green forest, disrespectful."

Boss Sun glanced at the several Xuantieying guards behind him, and said bluntly: "You don't have to be so polite, King Yan. You are here to investigate and visit secretly. You just want to know how much Yang Ronggui has corrupted and where the refugees have been harmed by him. , and whether there is an epidemic, I might as well tell you directly, those patients who were taken to another hospital for rescue just arrived at the other hospital the day before, and each of them took a bowl of herbal medicine and drank it. As a result, there was a big fire in the village that night. None of the people inside escaped, their bodies were destroyed, and the others were either detained in batches in the so-called 'Villa', or followed our brothers and joined the gang."

Chang Geng didn't change his face and said: "It sounds like this, if we don't come, I'm afraid there will be riots sooner or later."

Boss Sun sneered and said: "It's the opposite of the government to force the people, but then again, when Yang Ronggui killed the refugees, the Jiangbei camp couldn't hear the wind at all. If the refugees rebelled, the Jiangbei camp would definitely move immediately. You can’t beat corrupt officials, you can’t beat foreigners, it’s more than enough to beat us ordinary people, all roads are open to the sky, but there are no survivors.”

Xu Ling saw that the Jiangbei camp was in order, and also witnessed the battlefields along the banks of the river. He was about to refute, but Chang Geng raised his hand to stop him.

Chang Geng: "If there is really no way out, why does Brother Sun wait for us here?"

Boss Sun: "I'm waiting here just to see if the imperial envoys are not in charge of things. If the envoys are no more than a nest of snakes and rats, and the corpses are vegetarians, we can fight with our lives even under the artillery fire of the Peking University Camp! I just don’t know if the imperial envoy dares to come—I can’t lure wolves into the house, if you want to investigate, just bring this little white face and follow me, and leave all those dog legs who follow you openly and secretly here.”

Xu Ling: "My lord can't do it!"

Chang Geng smiled and said, "I can't ask for it, please."

Boss Sun clasped his hands together and said, "Please."

After he finished speaking, he took the lead to go out. After walking a few steps, he turned his head and glanced back at the plaque carved by His Royal Highness King Yan for this tavern selling human meat buns. The expression of the old bandit finally changed, and there was nothing on it Four words were engraved in a fancy way - "Righteousness for thousands of years".

If someone saw the "Goose King" on Liangjiang Governor's Mansion at this time, he would be shocked.

I saw this personable "Yan Wangye" close the door of his room, and he turned into a two hundred and five who made a show of his head.

Governor Yang is very dedicated to them, the room is elegant and luxurious, there are only a few small gold wares burnt in purple and gold, and there is an Atlantic mirror as tall as a person in the inner room, standing in front of the mirror can be described as complete.The "Goose King" who was standing outside like a green pine just now swayed in with his hips twisted. His two long legs twisted into one strand were not enough for him to use. He came to the diorama and looked left and right. During the fragrant time, no matter how much you hold your face, you can't take enough photos.

"Xu Ling" next to him drooped his eyelids like a wooden man, he didn't know if he was numb or something, but he really didn't see him.

"Goose King" sighed in admiration: "Aside from other things, I really can't get enough of my elder brother's face."

"Xu Ling" sneered and said, "If you have a feeling, go for it."

"I'm the real one," "Goose King" raised his chin wagging his head, "Making the fake out of the real—oh, tell me, why can't he make me perfect? ​​Now that Lord Hou is here, let's pinch one out. Well, what nonsense are you making up that he went straight to Jiangbei to avoid suspicion?"

"Xu Ling" said: "It's for your own good not to let you pinch it. I'm afraid that if you blaspheme Gu Shuai's face carelessly, you will be hacked by Xuan Tie Ying."

"King Yan" rolled his eyes, ignored him, and concentrated on admiring his masterpiece face in the mirror. Suddenly, an accompanying guard came to report: "My lord, Mr. Xu, Governor Yang has something important to meet, and he is outside. wait."

"Yan Wang" and "Xu Ling" looked at each other, "Yan Wang" said: "We have performed the show, and the guests and hosts have had a good time. The next step is logically to be dragged into a thief boat and bribed, right? Surely outside There are boxes of gold and silver and beauties waiting, so let’s forget about the beauties, but can you keep the beauties? Our boss ordered to keep the physical evidence, but what should we do if we don’t say the witnesses.”

"Xu Ling" looked back at Yan Wang's deep-lined, handsome face, coupled with the three words "male beauty" with a halazi, and suddenly felt a stomachache, but before he could speak satirically, a sudden rumor spread There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and guards outside the courtyard shouted to order them to stop, but the people came rushing in regardless, and soon there was the sound of soldiers.

"Xu Ling"'s expression suddenly changed, and he said in a low voice, "Did we show a flaw? Or..."

Before the words fell, the expression of the "Goose King" who had a wretched look just now suddenly sank, and his expression was no different from that of the real one.

I saw him take a step forward, push open the door suddenly, put his hands in his wide sleeves and put his back behind his back, looking down condescendingly at the armored men headed by Yang Ronggui who broke into the courtyard.

"Governor Yang, what does this mean?" "Yan Wang" asked in a tone, behind him "Xu Ling" stretched his hand imperceptibly into his waist, ready to rush out after his identity was exposed.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Yang Ronggui, who was originally murderous, suddenly took a step forward, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said loudly: "Return to the lord, the lower officials are not good at doing things, and the local bandits rebelled, blocking the communication between Yangzhou Prefecture and Jiangbei Camp." On the way, the lower officials had no choice but to gather the guards and soldiers of several nearby cities, and vowed to protect the prince to the death! The situation is critical, please prepare to move the prince."

"Yan Wang" looked back at "Xu Ling", and "Xu Ling" shook his head imperceptibly at him, but didn't realize what Yang Ronggui sang, so "Yan Wang" had to prevaricate: "I know about it, Governor Yang got up to answer..."

But Yang Ronggui turned a deaf ear and continued to speak loudly: "I have one more thing to do. Today, the emperor is incompetent, the country is about to decline, and there are frequent internal and external troubles. There are barbarians staring at it outside, and mobs rebelling inside. It can be said that the army has no master. Yang is willing to risk the disapproval of the world, follow the example of the predecessors, and call His Royal Highness the emperor!"

After he finished speaking, the line behind him was split in half, and the four people in the middle came out carrying a piece of clothing one by one. The eyes of the "Goose King" almost popped out. It was actually a dragon robe that could be mistaken for the real one!

Yang Ronggui: "I have dedicated myself to the Great Liang. When the country is in crisis, I dare not hide it privately. I can only destroy the family to relieve the crisis. A bit of family wealth and my wife's dowry have been handed over to the court and exchanged for war tickets. They are still suspected by the faint king. For the sake of eternal injustice, if a wise king comes to the world, I would like to help with my life!"

These words sound sonorous and forceful, like an impassioned speech, but in fact they have three meanings of coercion and lure: first, I was corrupt and broke the law, all of which were forced by your war ticket, I am guilty, you are the instigator, King Yan.

Second, there is no need for gang riots. If I say he rioted, he is a riot.

Third, whether the yellow robe is added or "died in a refugee riot", you can decide for yourself, my lord.

When he came, King Zhenyan only told them to delay the time as much as possible and deal with the traitor surnamed Yang, but he didn't tell them that there would be such a thing!

A pair of fake imperial envoys were stunned for a moment.

After a while, "Xu Ling" took a deep breath, and shouted: "Governor Yang, you are openly rebelling, are you out of your mind? The Marquis of Anding is in the Jiangbei Camp, and if you think of me as my leader, tens of thousands of elite soldiers will die?"

Yang Ronggui smiled, and said meaningfully: "Master Xu speaks seriously, how dare a minister be rebellious? It's just that the emperor was killed by an assassin from Japan, the country is in danger now, and the crown prince is young, so the ministers have no choice but to make such a bad move. Your Highness, please ascend the throne."
