Peach and plum spring breeze and a glass of wine

"...I admire this!"

The stubble-bearded eunuch who announced the edict closed the imperial edict and looked at Yang Ge who was bowing behind the incense table with a half-smile but not a smile: "Master Yang, please accept the edict!"

Yang Ge stretched out his hands: "The humble minister Yang Ge accepts the order, long live my emperor."

The eunuch who announced the decree handed the imperial edict into Yang Ge's hands.

Yang Ge stood up and stared at the eunuch who was announcing the decree with a pair of dead fish eyes: "Eunuch Wei is not a secret guard in the palace, why is he still taking the job of announcing the decree?"

He never expected that the eunuch who came to announce the decree turned out to be Wei Heng, the imperial horse supervisor whom he had met once before, and the legendary secret guard of Ouchi.

He had reason to suspect that this fierce man who grew a beard as a eunuch was the scabbard that Emperor Xiping found for him.

He didn't even bother to do the superficial thing of sending an Ouchi secret guard whom he didn't know. Wasn't this just an obvious beating on him?

"Master Yang, noble people often forget things."

Wei Heng put his hands together, with a gentle smile that was harmless to humans and animals: "When an imperial envoy goes to Beijing on a mission, our Royal Horse Supervisor should be responsible for the front and back of the horse, as well as the food, clothing, housing and transportation."

Naturally, Yang Ge would not be confused by this smiling tiger.

He had not forgotten the majestic and heroic appearance of this guy when he was fighting two people, pressing him and Yang Tiansheng to the ground and rubbing them together.

Although he is no longer the half-hearted person he was back then.

But if we really want to fight, this bearded eunuch is definitely a tougher opponent than the crazy monk Liao Chen.

"Excuse me, Eunuch Wei, where is the holy sword?"

Yang Ge did not make any useless tests and asked the most important question.

Wei Heng seemed to suddenly realize it and said with a smile: "Look at the Za family's memory... Xiao Chunzi, why don't you give the Shang Fang Sword to Mr. Yang."

In response, a young eunuch held a long box wrapped in bright yellow silk and walked quickly out of the team announcing the decree. He handed the box to Yang Ge with both hands: "Master Yang, take the sword!"

Yang Ge put away the imperial edict, bowed again and raised his hands: "Long live my emperor!"

The little eunuch bowed forward and handed the long box into Yang Ge's hands.

Wei Heng clasped his fists with a smile and said: "Although Mr. Yang is young, few in the current generation can match the power of the Holy Family. Mr. Yang must be cautious in his words and deeds, fulfill his duties, and live up to the expectations of the officials!"

Yang Ge chuckled, and under the stunned gazes of all the eunuchs who proclaimed the saint, he quickly opened the sword box, took out the gorgeously decorated dragon-patterned sword and held it in his hand: "I dare to ask Eunuch Wei, do you still have secret edicts and oral instructions? What if? Yes, you might as well announce it together, so as to prevent the subordinate officials from making mistakes and doing wrong things. It is a small thing for a subordinate official to make a difference in life and death, but it is a big deal if it involves the father-in-law!"

With a sword in hand, the primary and secondary positions are changed.

The corners of Wei Heng's eyes twitched and he opened his mouth several times without knowing what to say.

Of course he still has a secret target!

But since it is a secret decree, can it be said?

But this little bastard asked him with Shang Fang's sword.

Could he not say it?

Are there any officials like you?

Do you still understand the rules and practice martial ethics?

"Keng."

Yang Ge pulled out Shang Fang's sword two inches, narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile, "Why, isn't Shang Fang's sword difficult to use? Or does the father-in-law have something to hide?"

Wei Heng waved his hand with a livid face, and all the eunuchs and guards accompanying him immediately dispersed.

When only he and Yang Ge were left, he said expressionlessly: "Since it is a secret decree, how can it be easily announced?"

Yang Ge sheathed his sword, and the smile on his face stopped: "I know that my father-in-law is going out in person, so he must be well prepared. I just want to tell my father-in-law, just be your eyes and your ears. Don't speak randomly, and don't interfere indiscriminately... Don't tell lies in front of a real person. I will do this even if I don't have a good time. Whoever wants to stand in my way is my enemy. If I don't have a good time, he will not have a good time either. Where to go!”

After saying that, he held his sword and bowed: "If you haven't thanked your father-in-law for your kindness in the past, the poor people in the world who have been tortured by the three major grain merchants should also thank your father-in-law for saving them from fire and water!"

Wei Heng's livid face finally softened a little. He gently gave Yang Ge a hand and said calmly: "Master Yang, you are too complimentary. Although the family is lacking... you have a strong heart!"

Yang Ge nodded: "I hope that this time, my father-in-law will still not forget his original intention... If the subordinate official has the intention of bending the law for personal gain or taking revenge, the father-in-law may take me back to Beijing to restore my life, but if the subordinate official does not make mistakes, take bribes and bend the law, Please also ask my father-in-law to be a gentleman and not remember the faults of villains."

After a pause, he continued: "My father-in-law's kindness has benefited thousands of people!"

He didn't want to get rid of the scabbard completely.

He just hopes that the scabbard can be sheathed by him later.

Wei Heng hesitated for a few seconds and sighed softly: "Master Yang thinks too highly of the Za family. A slave in the Za family, even though he is old and dim, still has to obey orders, so he cannot be the one to save all the people from disaster. Heavy responsibility.”

The implication is: 'Take it easy, young man. I can only turn a blind eye. If the higher authorities really want to deal with you, I can't stand it. ’

Yang Ge breathed a sigh of relief and said with a heartfelt smile: "My father-in-law is so humble. It is precisely because of people like my father-in-law who have emerged from the mire and remained unsullied that this shit-like world is not rotten to the core..."

"Master Yang, be careful what you say!"

Wei Heng scolded Yang Ge in a low voice, but the smile on his lips was harder to suppress than AK.

At the right time, Fang Ke, who was out on errands, bowed in. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wei Heng, who was wearing a python robe and the clothes of a great eunuch, and he couldn't help but slow down.

Yang Ge glanced at him and shouted: "If you have something to say, say it, and if you have something to say, let it go. Eunuch Wei is not an outsider!"

Fang Ke immediately responded loudly: "Master Qin, Master Qin has arrested Yangzhou Wei Yiying officer and brought him to justice!"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Heng on the side immediately trembled and opened his mouth to speak.

But Yang Ge was the first to speak up and cursed: "You have captured everyone, why are you asking me for it? Do you still want me to teach you how to use torture? As long as you can't kill them, just do it to death and follow the canal transportation line." , dig out for me, and whoever is dug out will be arrested immediately... Even the people from the Chief Secretary, Dusi, and Criminal Division of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are no exception!"

Fang Ke immediately clasped his fists and loudly responded to the order, turned around and strode out.

Yang Ge turned around, held his sword in salute with a smile on his face and said: "The people below are so careless that I made my father-in-law laugh!"

Wei Heng stretched out a finger and pointed at Yang Ge tremblingly: "You, you, you... you are really not afraid of death!"

He knew that Yang Ge was a bold man.

On the way here, he predicted that Yang Ge, who acquired Shang Fang's sword, might cause a big earthquake in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

But Yang Ge stabbed the local army in the waist as soon as he came up. This was something he never expected.

Water transportation?

Can that thing be checked?

Can it stand up to scrutiny?

Just this one line of picking out the heads of big and small officials can spare Luoyang for weeks!

Yang Ge smiled in surprise: "Am I afraid of death, so I won't die?"

Wei Heng slapped his thigh, and said in horror: "Too much is too little, and the law does not punish everyone!"

Yang Ge suppressed his smile and said sternly: "It's just that too many people think that going too far is too much and that the law does not punish the public. Only then can these corrupt officials dare to be so unscrupulous and take it for granted... I am just a knife. It is not up to me to decide who to kill. It’s up to the person holding the knife to decide, and the harder I do it, the easier it will be to clean up the subsequent mess!”

"What do you think?"

Wei Heng felt a little relieved after hearing this, then shook his head and said: "No, the Za family has to follow you, we can't let you do whatever you want!"

Yang Ge: "My father-in-law is willing to protect me, but I can't ask for it...please!"

He reached out to the door and made a "please" gesture.

Wei Heng reluctantly responded with a "please" gesture: "You are the imperial envoy, so you should invite me first!"

Yang Ge: "Then it would be rude to serve as an official...Gu Tong!"

He strode outside and shouted loudly.

Gu Tong, who was on duty, came in, cupped his fists and said, "I'm here for my humble duty!"

Yang Ge: "Take Xiong Jun!"

Gu Tong: "Here!"

Wei Heng followed him and interjected: "Is this Xiong Jun the leader of the Changfeng Gang?"

Yang Ge: "Exactly, he has evidence that most of the officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang exploited the people and took bribes."

Wei Heng, whose head was as big as a bucket, rubbed his temples.

He stabbed the local army in the waist with his front foot.

A stab in the back of the local government's lifeblood.

You're really afraid that things won't make a big fuss...

He thought about it for a long time and suddenly asked: "Master Yang, are you interested in practicing "The Golden Bell"?"

Yang Ge smiled and said, "Why, is Eunuch Wei worried that he won't be able to protect his subordinates?"

Wei Heng nodded honestly: "If you stab them in the face, they can't just watch you cut off their descendants... There is a precedent in Yangzhou!"

Yang Ge thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then I'll trouble you, father-in-law, and I'll give you some advice!"

Wei Heng looked him up and down, shook his head regretfully and said: "What a pity. With your talent, if Yuan Yang is not lost, you will definitely be able to cultivate the "Tiangang Boy Skill" to the realm of transformation!"

Yang Ge blushed: "This...hahahaha..."

With a face in his early twenties, and someone seeing that he was not a boy, he was indeed a little embarrassed.

Wei Heng: "If you want to save your life, work harder. The Zajia can protect you for a while, but it cannot protect you for the rest of your life."

Yang Ge: "Well, father-in-law, do you still have any extra internal skills? I am willing to spend a lot of money to buy them."

Wei Heng glanced at him in surprise: "Lei Heng and Jiang Kuilian have passed on "Lingshuang Dao" and "Falling Snow Palm" to you, but not "Five Elements Returning to Vitality"?"

These words made Yang Ge feel as if he was naked, but he still shook his head honestly and said: "Indeed not..."

After he destroyed the Changfeng Gang, he also searched for inner strength and mental methods.

But the few internal skills and mental techniques at the bottom of Changfeng's help box were not even as good as the "Falling Snow Technique", so how could he catch his eye.

After Wei Heng pondered for a few seconds, he shook his head regretfully and said, "If you are willing to purify yourself, the Za family has some excellent internal skills and mental techniques..."

Yang Ge immediately changed his words and said: "The official suddenly remembered that the Lushan Tianhe Sword sect had not yet punished our Xiuyi Guards, so we just took this opportunity to steal their internal skills and mental skills."

Wei Heng snorted unhappily.

…

The imperial edict and monk Fang Baojian were obtained.

Yang Ge was like a husky that had broken free of the rope, completely free of restraints!

He is in charge of the capital of Yangzhou, and the arrest warrants issued every day are measured in pounds!

The more than 400 men of the Shangyou Institute were driven like mad dogs by his arrest warrant, running around Jiangsu and Zhejiang!

Lishi served as the general flag envoy and took a few miscellaneous Yufu soldiers to arrest the magistrate of a county.

The small flag officer acted as an envoy to a hundred households and took dozens of guards with him to arrest the magistrate of the same government.

The chief flag officer served as an envoy to a thousand households and took hundreds of guards and soldiers to arrest the prefect of a prefecture.

As for the hundreds of thousands of households, each one acted as a clone of the imperial envoy. Holding the flag of the imperial envoy, he rushed directly into the guards of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to arrest every one of the thousands of households.

evidence?

Although Yang Ge previously handled cases in Yangzhou Prefecture.

But the evidence copied from the Changfeng Gang has already included the 11th Prefecture of Jiangsu and Zhejiang!

Even if there are occasional criminals who don't have enough evidence, it doesn't matter!

The evidence was unclear, but this did not prevent him from summoning people for questioning.

After everyone is in the hands of Xiu Yiwei, it is much easier to supplement evidence than to find evidence first and then arrest the person!

In fact, it was exactly as Yang Ge had expected...

Emperor Xiping took advantage of the great victory in the Mobei grassland and turned around to rectify the administration.

These domineering local emperors in the past did not dare to openly fight against the general trend of the court.

He could only watch helplessly as the wolf-like and tiger-like hawks and dogs of the Embroidered Guard rushed into his yamen and captured his colleagues.

While praying that the old things he had committed would not be discovered by the eagles and dogs of the Xiuyi Guards.

While frantically writing letters to the court bosses of his own faction asking for help.

All of a sudden...

In the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there is a roar of wind and cranes, and the vegetation is full of soldiers.

Above the court, the civil and military officials were united as never before. Every day, tons of memorials were filed to impeach Yang Ge and impeach Xiu Yiwei!

They impeached Yang Ge for violating the regulations and arrogantly arresting court officials above the fourth rank without trial by the three departments.

They impeached Xiuyiwei for meddling in local military affairs and oppressing military households without going through the Fifth Army Governor's Office...

Emperor Xiping, who had always been lenient, had a rare tough attitude this time!

No matter how many memorials the officials send, they will all be left alone!

All the officials at the meeting joined forces to attack, but he only said three words over and over again: "Waiting for the result."

The incompetent and furious civil and military officials could not help Emperor Xiping, so they aimed their guns at the Beizhen Prefecture.

In just half a month, the terrible reputation of the Beizhen Prefecture for killing loyal people, oppressing the people, tortured to extract confessions, and beaten into submission, etc., once again spread throughout the land of Heluo. Countless people in Heluo changed their minds when talking about embroidered clothes and guards!

As for the current governor of Beizhen Fusi Town, Shen Fa, in just half a month, he had more than a dozen concubines, tens of thousands of acres of land, and hundreds of thousands of properties. Every day, there are old, weak, women and children. He went outside the Third Division and vividly cried out in public about how Shen Fa had taken advantage of sex, raped women, and peeped at the aunt taking a bath...

The good reputation Shen Fa accumulated for more than ten years through his heroic deeds and wars in the north and south was lost in one fell swoop!

Every day, a large number of ragged people with ulterior motives gather outside the gate of the Beizhen Prefecture, preparing to squat on him when he goes out...

Shen Fatang, the governor of the North Town Fusi, and the second son of the Shen family, were so stunned by these people that they did not dare to step forward or leave the second door.

What? Drive away?

What they were waiting for was for Beizhen Fusi to come out and drive them away!

As long as Beizhen Fusi dares to come forward, some people will dare to die outside the gate of Beizhen Fusi.

Those baseless rumors can become true in no time!

When the political struggle has reached this level of obscenity, it is completely broken, and even the most basic dignity is not allowed to remain.

But Shen Fa still withstood the pressure and did not deliver a single letter to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

I seem to have a cold and a severe headache. This chapter is a bit short. Please forgive me...
