Jiang Hongjin's high-priced reward soon spread throughout Luoyang City. Yang Duoming naturally heard the rumors, and immediately frowned.

Yan Xi said: "There are many people who want money and don't want to die, big brother, I think it's not safe here, I have to find a way to get out of the city." ”

Yang Duoming said: "Well, go out of the city now." But before you get out of town, you have to make a change. "If you go out like this, Yan Xi is sure that he will be arrested.

Two hours later, Yang Duoming left Luoyang in a carriage. When passing by the city gate, the officers and soldiers checked Yang Duoming's household registration and road guide, and these things were no problem. The official said, "Ten taels of silver for one person." ”

Yang Duoming was so shocked that he couldn't do it: "Official, why do you have to pay money when you go out of the city?" but scolded in his heart, these dogs actually took the opportunity to collect money.

The official said impatiently: "What are you doing crookedly? Don't think about going out of the city if you don't pay it." "It's rare to have such a good opportunity, how can you make it without making a fortune.

Yang Duoming said: "I don't have so much money on me, do you think you can have less?" After speaking, he escaped from the purse in his sleeve and handed it to the official.

The official took the silver, but his eyes fell on the jade pendant on Yang Duoming's waist, and said, "I don't have any money, just take this jade pendant to pay for it." ”

Yang Duoming reflexively grabbed the jade pendant on his waist and said, "No, this jade pendant is very important to me, so I can't give it to you." "That jade pendant looks good, it should be worth some silver.

The official cha is not so good-natured, and said: "If you don't give it, get out, when I rarely have such a broken jade pendant for you." After saying this, his eyes still fell on the jade pendant.

Yan Xi, who was pretending to be a coachman, walked over with a hunched back, and said in a low voice: "Young master, the master's illness can't be delayed! If it's too late, he may not see the last time the master." ”

Yang Duoming's face was entangled, and in the end he was reluctant to give away the jade pendant, but pulled out the green bamboo hairpin on his head and handed it to the official and said: "This hairpin is carved with high-quality green jade, and I bought it for eighty taels of silver." ”

When the official heard the coachman's words, he took the hosta and said, "Jade pendant." "If you don't give it, you won't let it, anyway, it's this weak scholar who is in a hurry, not him.

Yang Duoming was so angry that his face turned red, but no matter how angry he was, he still had two points of clarity: "This is given to me by my fiancée, I can't give it to you." ”

The official said: "Is Lao Tzu important, or is the woman important, you can measure it yourself!" This official is blatantly collecting money, and none of the people around him who want to go out of the city dare to say anything.

Yang Duoming's whole body trembled, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and handed the jade pendant on his waist to the official: "Now you can let us go!"

At this time, the little leader who was guarding the city came over and said to the official just now: "Give him back the silver!" Seeing that the official was holding the silver and not letting go, the little leader said: "Don't do things desperately, leave a line of life and work." "If you do something to the end, sooner or later you will be punished.

When the official heard this, he handed the purse to Yang Duoming: "Hurry up." ”

Yang Duoming got into the carriage with a sad and angry face. It's a pity that these officials are a bunch of goods who can peel off a layer of your skin without money, and no matter how sad he is, he will not sympathize with him.

The official raised the jade pendant in his hand and said to the little leader: "How can this jade pendant be worth two or three hundred taels of silver!"

After walking for more than 20 miles, Yan Xi Niutou said to Yang Duoming in the carriage: "Big brother, you acted like the real thing just now." "Since he started to do the errand of intelligence, Yang Duoming has specially studied with people who are good at disguise. It's just that after such a long time, I've only learned a little bit of it.

This time, the two of them were able to pass the test smoothly, firstly, because Yang Duoming acted very seriously, and secondly, the officials were not so concerned about catching any murderers, so they wanted to make more money and water. Otherwise, Yang Duoming's disguise technique would still be easy to penetrate.

Yang Duoming said: "What nonsense, hurry up." "He is acting in his true colors, which is naturally no different from the real thing.

At the beginning, Yang Duoming suddenly suffered a family change, and he encountered many difficulties from these officials, and it was also Yang Duoming's perseverance, otherwise he would have been forced to die.

Five days later, Yang Duoming and Yan Xi returned to Ho City. Back in Ho City, Yang Duoming didn't even return home, so he went to Yunfu to tell Sù Yuxi about Jiang Hongjin's disfigurement.

After hearing this, Yuxi was silent for a moment and said, "I don't need to mention this matter in the future." "In her last life, she ended up with no bones, and the culprit was Jiang Hongjin, but she herself was also responsible. In her previous life, she was too weak and cowardly, not to mention her current ability and state of mind, even if she was half as strong as Yurong, she would not fall into such a miserable situation. And now that Jiang Hongjin is inhumane and disfigured, he can be regarded as paying off the debt owed to her. As for whether Jiang Hongjin is good or bad in the future, she will not pay attention to it anymore.

Yang Duoming's heart was really like this: "Princess, it cost eight thousand taels of silver to invite someone this time. "It is also because of Jiang Hongjin's special identity that the asking price is so high.

Yuxi said: "If you spend it, you will spend it! How is the situation in Luoyang?"

Yang Duoming shook his head and said, "It's not good. From last winter to the first month, more than 600 people in Luoyang City froze to death and starved to death. The government did not report this news. "In the peaceful world, more than ten people died of freezing and starvation, that's a big deal.

Yuxi remembered that Yunqing said that thousands of people had died in Cangzhou before, and his brows furrowed.

Yang Duoming thought for a moment and told him about going out of the city: "Those officials are actually no different from bandits. "The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, these officials dare to exploit the people in the past so blatantly, it must be allowed by the above, and even, they also share the spoils together.

Yuxi sighed slightly and said, "Luoyang City is like this, and other places are even more unbearable. "Although Luoyang is not the provincial capital of Henan, its economy is very prosperous, and it is not inferior to Hocheng.

Yang Duoming said: "The situation in the northwest the year before last was similar to that in Hebei, and it is thanks to the prince and princess that the people in the northwest have a good life now." Yang Duoming said this sincerely.

Yuxi pondered for a moment and said: "The situation in the northwest is generally clear, and if there is a judge, there will be no big problem." However, we really know too little about the situation in Shaanxi, Henan and Hubei. You have also been to Luoyang twice, and you are familiar with it, I want to send you to Henan, are you willing?" Yuxi wanted Yang Duoming to go to Henan to collect intelligence, all kinds of information, all kinds of information.

Yang Duoming was stunned at first, and then his heart was ecstatic. However, in order to confirm the guess in his heart, Yang Duoming asked: "I don't know what the princess wants to know about the situation in Henan?"

Yuxi said without thinking about it: "All the circumstances." After a pause, Yuxi said: "Qingluo is pregnant, stay in Haocheng to accompany her during this time!" Fu Qingluo found out that she was pregnant not long after Yang Duoming went to Henan, but her pregnancy was very bad. The medicinal diet made by Mama Quan has a good effect and is also very famous abroad. Fu Qingluo thought about the child in her belly and begged Yuxi, which was also the reason why Yuxi knew that Fu Qingluo was pregnant.

Yang Duoming smiled and said, "Princess, if it's okay, I'll go back to the house first." "The last time the child was gone, it left them with an unforgettable pain.

Yuxi smiled and said, "Then you should go back quickly!" A person who loves his daughter-in-law and children can make people more at ease.

After Yang Duoming left, Yuxi lowered his head to deal with government affairs again. Now it's February, spring ploughing is coming soon, and a lot of things have to be prepared. In addition, water conservancy projects and road repairs are enough for her to be busy.

In the evening, Yunqing returned, but his face was a little unpleasant.

Yuxi stepped forward, took off his cloak, and said with a smile: "What happened to make you keep a straight face?"

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "It's just some messy things in the army. Don't talk about it, let's eat!" He didn't want to tell Yuxi about those things, so as not to make Yuxi feel bad.

Yuxi smiled and said, "No matter what, it will always be solved, no need to be angry." If it was just a matter in the army, Yunqing would definitely tell her. Since she didn't say it, this matter was probably related to her, but Yunqing made it clear that she didn't want to say it, so Yuxi didn't ask anymore.

The next day, Yuxi asked Xu Wu: "Yesterday, the prince said that something bad happened in the army, what happened?" Xu Wu is in charge of intelligence work, and he must know these things.

Xu Wu didn't hide it when he saw Yuxi asking, and said: "Xiao Yongchang went to the prince to complain, saying that Lord Han relied on the power of the princess to use his power for personal gain and disregard people's lives. ”

When Yuxi heard the name Xiao Yongchang, he thought for a while and said, "Is this Xiao Yongchang Yuan Ying's brother-in-law?" Seeing Xu Wu nodding, Yuxi smiled and said, "Is there any misunderstanding here?" Han Jianming is a relatively mellow person, and he would not offend people under normal circumstances. With Yuxi here, there will be no one who will not be embarrassed by Han Jianming in official affairs and complain, and this Xiao Yongchang, whether public or private, has no intersection with her eldest brother.

Xu Wu shook his head and said, "Xiao Yongchang is very brave in battle, but his brain lacks tendons. This time, his concubine's cousin committed an accident and was sentenced to twenty years by Lord Han. In the past two days, I am going to send it to Linzhou to open up wasteland. The little concubine blew the pillow wind on Xiao Yongchang, and he ran to the prince's side and shouted without checking this matter. also said in front of many people that the princess was protecting her mother's family. "Even if a person with a normal brain wants to stand up for the concubine, he has to find out the matter clearly.

In the previous words, Yuxi's expression was as usual. However, hearing the latter words, Yuxi smiled and said, "It seems that many people are dissatisfied with my government. ”

Xu Wu weighed it in his heart and said, "Princess, that Xiao Yongchang is a brainless person, you don't have to worry about him."

Yuxi looked up at Xu Wu and said, "You have a good relationship with him?" Seeing Xu Wu shaking his head, Yuxi smiled and said, "Since you have nothing to do with him, why do you say good things for him?"

Xu Wu said: "This matter is a big trouble, and it is not good for the princess." "In fact, there are some people in the army who have opinions about Yuxi's administration, but they are suppressed by Yunqing. If this matter breaks out, these people are afraid that they will take advantage of this incident to attack Yuxi.

Yuxi smiled and said, "I'm doing right, sitting up straight, what's there to be afraid of." And if I am afraid that those rumors are long gone, where can I still live today. ”

Xu Wu nodded.

Yuxi said: "Since this matter has been in front of the prince, let the prince solve it!" She won't overstep her bounds. R1148
