Peach and plum spring breeze and a glass of wine

After finishing a meal of meat cooked in a copper pot, Shen Fa hurried back to the capital without stopping.

He is now the governor of Beizhen Prefecture. It is not easy for him to come to Luting to meet Yang Ge.

Half a month later, Qianhu, the embroidered guard who was promoted to Yang Ge, came to Luting to submit his resignation.

Also delivered with Qianhu Gaishen was a python robe and jade belt.

The python robe is a vermilion robe worn by a four-clawed dragon emerging from the blue sea.

The jade belt is a wide gold-inlaid Luan belt with whiskers at both ends.

This is not the standard outfit for thousands of Xiuyiwei households.

The standard attire of the Xiuyiwei Qianhu is the prison cow suit and the gold oxtail knife...

"The Ritual System of the Wei Dynasty" says: The python robe is a garment worn by an elephant and a dragon. It is similar to the royal robe worn by the Supreme Being, but minus one claw and ear.

This python robe came with the introduction of the embroidered guard Qianhu. In fact, it was the one on the dragon throne who said to Yang Ge: 'Young man, you have done a good job, I am optimistic about you! ’

Fang Ke undoubtedly understood the weight and meaning of the python robe.

So when he took out this python robe from the copper-clad sandalwood box, his eyes turned green!

Why do we need to hold Yang Ge to hold the golden thigh of Master Zhenfu?

Yang Ge himself is already a heroic and courageous man!

"Put it away!"

The joys and sorrows between people are not the same. Yang Ge just feels a headache when he looks at this python robe: "It seems that losing and damaging this thing are serious crimes, right?"

Fang Ke nodded blankly.

Yang Ge held his chin and thought for a moment: "How about... dig a hole and bury it?"

Fang Ke was shocked: "What? You want to bury it?"

If he could have such a python robe, would he be able to sleep in it?

Yang Ge: "Otherwise? I can't wear it, and there's no place to put it. If something goes wrong, I have to be punished. I feel more at ease if I bury it!"

Fang Ke quickly grasped the python robe tightly with both hands and said loudly: "My lord, you don't dare to treat the imperial robe like this. You have to go home and find a bright place to offer it, and burn three sticks of incense in the morning and evening to show your respect to the emperor." I am deeply touched by my gratitude, grateful and grateful..."

"Stop it!"

Yang Ge's head was buzzing: "Is this a piece of clothing or an ancestor?"

Fang Ke: "If you want to say that, the gift from the emperor is still from the ancestors!"

Yang Ge resisted the urge to slap the guy's head and said, "Then what use do I need it for?"

Fang Ke replied without thinking: "That will be of great use. As long as you wear it, you will be exempted from taxes and taxes, will not bow to officials when you see them, and will kowtow before being summoned. The descendants of your old Yang family As long as you don't commit any serious crimes against the Yi clan, you can avoid death..."

Yang Ge looked at him expressionlessly, and Fang Ke's voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke.

He suddenly realized that Yang Ge had all the privileges of the python robe!

"If you like it so much, then I'll leave it to you for safekeeping."

Yang Ge pushed the python robe into his arms: "Something went wrong and the court wants to hold me accountable, so I will hold you accountable first!"

Fang Ke was stunned for a moment, and his claws suddenly felt numb. He forced a smile and put the python robe back into the copper-clad sandalwood box without leaving a trace: "This is specially given to you by the grace of the Holy One. How dare you tamper with your humble position..."

Yang Ge pointed to the sandalwood box: "Can I accuse you now?"

Fang Ke's hands shook and he immediately retracted his hands behind his back, not daring to say anything anymore.

"Without further ado!"

Yang Ge walked back to the hall and sat down, rubbing his temples with a headache: "What should I do with this job of thousands of households in the right office? I haven't figured it out yet when I try to do a hundred households, so asking me to do a thousand households again is not trying to catch up. ?"

Fang Ke stood in the hall with his head hanging, not daring to say a word... I can do this, too!

"What are you doing with the pestle?"

Yang Ge knocked on the table: "I want to ask you a question!"

Fang Ke grimaced and said aggrievedly: "Sir, please don't ask me about my humble position. I haven't even held a thousand households in my humble position. How can I know what a thousand households should do?"

Yang Ge: "Have you not been with Mr. Shen for more than two years? You have never eaten pork, how can you never see a pig running?"

Fang Ke raised his head and looked at him strangely.

Yang Ge reacted immediately: "Bah, you are a pig!"

Fang Ke smiled "hehehe", and the worry and distance in his heart quickly disappeared.

He cupped his fists and raised his hands, and said seriously: "I only talk about some superficial knowledge that I know. If there is anything wrong, please correct me!"

Yang Ge: "There are no outsiders here. If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be a coward!"

Fang Ke smiled again, and skillfully stepped forward to lift the kettle on the table in the hall and refilled the tea cup in front of Yang Ge: "I think the first priority is to arrange the yamen for us to go to the right office and your official residence. If we don’t make arrangements, our family will make the decision for us. If it’s in the city, that’s fine, but if it’s on the Bianhe River, our brothers will have to live with the river breeze from now on!”

Yang Ge looked around thoughtfully, nodded and said: "We have to change places, this place is too small... It means that we will completely change from darkness to light in the future, right?"

Fang Ke: "This is natural!"

Yang Ge nodded: "Continue."

Fang Ke stepped back with his fists clasped.

Yang Ge stared at him for two seconds and wondered: "Is it gone?"

Fang Ke: "Sir, you are now a thousand households. Naturally, you will no longer have only a bunch of soldiers and crab generals like our brothers. The two deputy Qianhu and a hundred households and the general banner will take office soon. As long as the big guys After we work together to put up the air, we will live as we did before and how we will live in the future. At most, it will be at home, and we will send you some cases from time to time. You are far better at handling cases than your humble position, so there is no need to talk too much."

Yang Ge rubbed his forehead: "That's it?"

Is this an official position or a job?

Fang Ke smiled and said: "As the old saying goes, 'Being an official for thousands of miles is just for money.' What's the matter with our embroidered clothes and guards? You know it's unworthy of a lowly position and talk too much. Qianhu... It's actually no different. It's just that the appetite is bigger. , The hands are even darker!"

"Of course, if you want to be a Qianhu like Mr. Shen who is waiting to make a difference, that's another matter!"

This is indeed something you can only talk about behind closed doors.

Yang Ge seemed to be chewing on his words and asked: "How to say it?"

Fang Ke pondered for a long time before replying: "It's hard to say that you are in a humble position. Mr. Shen...has a big heart. He never needs orders from superiors to do things. What should be done and what should be done. He has a ledger in his heart." of!"

"If I'm not afraid of your jokes, I have been following Mr. Shen around for more than two years, but I never seem to understand the rules of Mr. Shen's actions."

"As for the cases that he has handled, most of them are thankless and dirty work in the eyes of humble officials."

"If it's done well, no one will take credit for it. If it's done badly, some people will add insult to injury."

"Everyone else is hiding just because their parents have lost two legs, but he is holding his neck and leaning forward every time!"

"There were several times when we almost didn't make it back..."

"But this old man is still willing to do it, and he always tries to get in trouble when he encounters it!"

"To tell you the truth, when someone gets promoted, all the brothers below will be jealous!"

"But Master Shen's promotion, the brothers below are really convinced!"

"Same for you!"

"Other brothers don't know what great things you have done, but you know your humble position!"

"As for the great things you have done, if you were to take a humble position, even if you had ten heads attached to the humble position, you still wouldn't be able to kill those bastards who are wearing human skin but have no human heart!"

"I sometimes think that this is why you and Master Shen can become friends!"

These flatteries have been lingering in his mind for some time.

He really felt that the two brothers were really similar.

only……

One acts gently but decisively.

One acts aggressively and benevolently.

‘Friends? ’

Yang Ge thought about these two words in his mind, and then smiled softly after a long time.

Without thinking about the details, he only regarded Shen Fa as his enemy, the kind of enemy who would do nothing good when he saw him.

But if you think about it more carefully, he and Shen Fa might actually be friends... A bad friend is also a friend, right?

Take the mysterious hoarding case of three major grain merchants that just came to an end.

He worked hard to deliver the sword to the capital, but he never paid attention to the strange clouds in the capital.

It was because he firmly believed that Shen Fa could understand what he meant and could catch the knife handle he handed over.

In fact, Shen Fa did not disappoint him...

Although Shen Fa never mentioned to him the pressure he had endured in the capital.

But Yang Ge thought with his toes and could understand how difficult it was for him to bring this case to court.

Even Fang Ke knew that the three major grain accounts were the money bags of countless corrupt officials. Cutting off people's wealth was like killing their parents. Could Shen Fa not know that?

Yang Ge may always remember his words "I want to be that kind of person."

"I understand!"

He smiled and nodded: "What you want to say is that in Qianhu's position, you can live and die and wait to die, and you can make a difference if you want to, right?"

The lower limit is very low and the upper limit is very high.

This is his understanding of the position of Xiuyiwei Qianhu.

Fang Ke clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has a sharp eye and is very perceptive. The respect I have for you from this humble position is like..."

"Stop it!"

Yang Ge waved his hand: "Are you running out of words?"

Fang Ke:......

What should I do if the two bosses don’t want to flatter me? Waiting online, it's quite urgent...

Yang Ge: "You also have credit for running the three major grain accounts. It is within my scope of power..."

He picked up the "Thousand Household Operation Manual" he just bought and read it carefully.

When Fang Ke heard this, his little heart felt like a cat's claws scratching him, and he couldn't help but remind him in a low voice: "Sir, you can make decisions at the general level and below, but when you take office as a new official, you will be promoted. Approving Shunshou's Walkman for use is the right thing to do. As long as you recommend it to your family, your family will not disapprove of you..."

"It's so troublesome!"

Yang Ge closed the operation manual in his hand, held his chin and pretended to say: "Let's talk about it later!"

Fang Ke's face fell, he cupped his fists and bowed his hands with a bitter look on his face and said: "I obey my orders."

"Hahaha……"

Yang Ge laughed out loud: "Okay, stop pretending, who are you showing it to? I will recommend you to my family as a trial household, and you will be in charge of the site selection and construction of our upper right office!" "

"I don't care what you do!"

"In any case, firstly, we must not deceive others, secondly, we must not disturb people, and thirdly, we must not overspend."

"Well done. I'll think of a way to get the word 'try' in front of it for you."

"If you can't handle it, just go back and continue to be your general flag."

Fang Ke was so happy that he clasped his fists and bowed his fist to the end, and the words of gratitude in his mouth were like asking for money: "My lord's kindness in cultivating and supporting me, I will definitely remember it in my heart, and I will not dare to forget it. No matter whether I go to battle or kill someone in the future, The enemy will go through fire and water, but he will still lead his horse into the saddle, guard the door and hold a sword, Fang Ke will not hesitate to die!"

Yang Ge stretched out his hand and pressed it softly: "Okay, we brothers will not talk about life and death. There is only one requirement for doing things here: people must live, things must be done well, and your martial arts skills must be free. After thinking about it carefully, it is still a bit unreasonable to be able to sit in hundreds of households with great inner strength!"

At this moment, Fang Ke only felt that his whole body was full of strength, and he was so excited that he was talking nonsense: "Sir, this is really not a hypocritical statement. Our old Fang family has been in the embroidery industry since the time of Taizu. Wei, after five generations of hard work, my father was able to produce a seventh-grade general banner, and now I finally have a sixth-grade subordinate. I can give our old Fang family some glory..."

"Drink some water and calm down!"

Yang Ge picked up the teapot and poured out a cup of tea. He walked down the hall and put it into Fang Ke's hand, and drew another cake for him: "Hundred Households is just your starting point, not your end. Mr. Shen is optimistic about you. I’m also optimistic about you. As long as you work hard, my current position will also be yours in the future!”

Fang Ke hurriedly held the cup of tea and drank it once again: "Being able to be appointed to a hundred households is a sign of virtue accumulated by ancestors in a humble position. How dare you... in a humble position..."

Yang Ge forcibly pulled him up: "There are no outsiders here, so be polite... From now on, I will let you take care of Gu Tong and the others. I have strong soldiers and horses and handed them over to you. Don't let me lead them into a bunch of weaklings." Shrimp!"

Fang Ke slapped his chest loudly: "Don't worry, sir. From now on, the brothers who serve in these hundred households will be your sharp knives. We will hit wherever you point. If any of them embarrasses you, Feel free to use your humble head to accuse me!"

Yang Ge: "With your words, I feel relieved!"

He turned around and returned to the hall. He was about to ask when the two deputy Qianhu and the Baihu would arrive. Suddenly he remembered something and asked instead: "By the way, Jiangzuo Changfeng, who I asked you to pay attention to earlier." Do you have any clues about how to help?"

Fang Ke secretly glanced at Yang Ge in surprise. He didn't expect that he had managed three major grain merchants and had so many big and small officials, but he still remembered this grudge!

The next second, he lowered his head and said loudly: "Why do you need to worry about this little thing? After I finish my humble duty as a supervisor, I will go to the right office and take the brothers to Jiangzuo. I will definitely call the Changfeng Gang I’ll give you a satisfactory explanation!”

"No need."

Yang Ge lay back on the chair with his hands folded and said calmly: "You are too weak, I still want to go there by myself!"

Those in the Changfeng Gang only have an employment relationship with the three major grain companies, so their involvement is not deep.

When the imperial court punished the three major grain accounts, they didn't know whether they used money or hired people.

Anyway, he was not implicated in the fraud of the three major grain accounts...

But how can people not pay the price when they do something wrong?

He never forgives such villains and bullies who bully others unscrupulously because of their own strength!

It just so happened that the position of Qianhu was not enough to give him much sense of security.

He had to find an eyesore to tell those who were interested in him: 'If you can't kill me, it's best not to mess with me! ’

The Changfeng Gang is neither big nor small, just right!

Fang Ke opened his mouth to persuade, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.

He also knew Yang Ge well, and knew that if Yang Ge could be persuaded so easily, then Yang Ge would not be able to sit in his current position.

After thinking for a moment, he said tentatively: "Sir, when you take office as a new official, our department needs to be smoothed out from top to bottom. Why don't you let the Changfeng Gang do it? It just so happens that the Changfeng Gang is a mess. Shit, let’s clean up the Changfeng Gang, you can give a satisfactory answer to both the superiors and the subordinates, right?”

The Jiangzuo Changfeng Gang is a big gang in the south of the Yangtze River that relies on waterways. They are engaged in the big business of selling illegal salt, smuggling tea, silk, and porcelain. They are even involved in water transportation.

But these bad things are not big even if they are big, and they are not small even if they are small.

It's the kind of thing where officials won't mess with you, just turn a blind eye, close one eye, and just make a fuss.

Once the officials are determined to get rid of you, any accusation they make will be enough to confiscate your family and exterminate your family!

And if the Changfeng Gang is eliminated, the Xiuyiwei system will be full of food from top to bottom...

Yang Ge also understood this truth and gave Fang Ke a thumbs up: "You are still thoughtful!"

This method is indeed more powerful than him going south alone to find the bad luck of the Changfeng Gang.

Fang Ke felt happy and immediately clasped his hands: "Being able to share your worries with adults is a blessing of a humble position!"

Yang Ge stood up, picked up the sandalwood box containing the python robe and walked out: "You go and do your work. After the deputy Qianhu and Baihu sent by the family arrive, notify me to come over."

Fang Ke followed him: "Where are you going?"

Yang Ge glanced at him in surprise: "Where else can we go? Go back to the inn! If we delay for a while, the inn will be filled with guests!"

Fang Ke:......
