1092. Pick up

Seeing this scene, Li Pojun was stunned, and looked directly at a helper beside him who led the way, "This is Donggou Village?" Don't you want to deceive me? Behind him, Chen Kang saw that this place was desolate and uninhabited, and he also clenched the saber at his waist.

The gang also knew that Li Pojun and others had an extraordinary identity all the way, and said with a wry smile: "Lang Jun said that he was joking, how dare you deceive people in our business, this is really Donggou Village." ”

"The rich land of Yangzhou, how can this place be so desolate?" Zhang Wenqian was also shocked.

"Hey, Lang Jun doesn't know, it's also a demon, this Donggou Village was originally a Cao household selected by the government, and it was very enviable to live on the imperial court's salary, after all, this is a worry-free food. It's just that I heard that since the beginning of the first two years, the Caoyun Yamen has gradually reduced the salary, and these Caoyun households have no land, and they can't do long-term work, so they gradually fall into decline, and the young ones have gone out to work as helpers to beg for food and clothing, leaving behind some old and weak women and children, and the village that used to be very lively has now become a deserted village." This gangster is a small person in the market who is mixed in Yangzhou City, and the big and small news in Yangzhou City cannot be hidden from these gangsters, and he is well-informed.

Zhang Wenjun gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Corrupt officials and corrupt officials, flies and dogs, hateful."

The helper was startled, hurriedly got out of the way, and said in shock: "This gentleman doesn't want to talk nonsense, the people of Donggou Village went to the yamen to ask for money a few years ago, just scolded the corrupt officials, and the people who assassinated the Shifu said that these villagers wanted to kill officials and rebel, and killed a few people, sir, don't talk nonsense."

"Hmph, the dynasty has not been convicted for words since the founding of the country, even if the ministers in the court point their noses at each other and scold each other, it is okay, this Yangzhou assassin history is so majestic." It's one thing to hear, it's another thing to see, when he saw the prosperity of Yangzhou City, and then looked at the dilapidated and desolate Donggou Village, Li Pojun's anger couldn't be suppressed, and he wrinkled his eyebrows and shouted.

As soon as Li Pojun was angry, his momentum changed, and he was a little stunned, and he secretly exclaimed in his heart: These people are so bold, even Lord Shi dares to say it.

"Let's go, go back" Li Pojun's face was gloomy, and he shouted, and then turned around.

"Lang Jun, aren't you looking?" Zhang Wenqian hurriedly caught up and asked.

"Do you still need to see this, Yangzhou is rotten to the roots." Li Pojun's face is rarely bad, he didn't expect that the rule of Yangzhou officials is so rotten, it seems that even if Zhenguan governs the world, even if the court is virtuous and virtuous, but basically it is still inferior.

After the help was gone, Zhang Wenqian asked directly: "Lang Jun, where are we going now?" ”

"Tell the shadow, secretly investigate Yang Gongcheng, the Yangzhou transfer envoy, there is no problem with this person, I don't believe it." Li Pojun's eyes flashed with fierceness and he said straight.

Zhang Wenqian responded to what he said, he came to Yangzhou with Li Pojun, and the shadow personnel also brought it secretly.

Two days later, Yangzhou Wharf, surprisingly the bustling and busy wharf in the past is different today, the appearance is new, the gongs and drums are noisy, the ribbons are fluttering, the Yangzhou garrison is neatly arranged on the wharf, Yangzhou Thorn Shi Zhang Song led the officials of Yangzhou City to wait here for a long time, just because to welcome an important person, that person is the Jianghuai two deposed ambassadors, the governor of Yangzhou, the salt and iron envoy Li Pojun, and a more important identity is the current prince's Royal Highness.

The huge team of official ships finally came, slowly approaching the dock, the guards anchored the boat, put down the pedals, and then a team of sergeants bee chrysalis disembarked, lined up in two opposite teams along the road, Zhang Song and others led the team to shout: "Chen Yangzhou assassin Shi Zhang Song, Changshi Qiu Wenzhong, Sima Luliang, transfer envoy Yang Gongcheng and others led Yangzhou officials to welcome His Royal Highness the Prince."

However, the mountain shouted, but there was no sound on the boat, Zhang Song couldn't help but wonder, Qiu Wenzhong next to him was confused, "My lord, what's going on?" ”

Zhang Song also shook his head a little confused, and at this moment, the official on the ship sang loudly: "Deputy Envoy of Salt and Iron Gao Jifu, Liu Ren has arrived."

Zhang Song looked up, only to see Gao Jifu smiling and walking off the boat quickly, and came to the front and saluted directly: "Gao Jifu, the deputy envoy of Xiaguan Yantie, has seen Zhang Thorn History, and has been waiting for Zhang Thorn Shi for a long time." After that, he smiled and saluted, "All colleagues in Yangzhou are polite, please get up."

Zhang Song frowned, stood up straight, and asked, "Senior Deputy Envoy, dare to ask where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is?" ”

Zhang Song is a local official, and Yangzhou, a rich Shangzhou assassin with a history, ranks among the third-grade officials, and his status is not low, and he doesn't have to be too polite to Gao Jifu, an official from the fifth grade.

Gao Jifu shook his head and sighed when he heard this, and said straightly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took a boat for the first time, and he was unwell, and now he is in poor health, and it is difficult to get up from bed, so he can't meet you, so I ordered this official to come and contact, in addition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, please return to the place to summon."

Zhang Song was stunned, and all the Yangzhou officials looked at each other, "The ministers obey the order." Since it was ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they naturally had to obey it.

A vigorous pick-up, but in the end, he didn't even see the face of the prince, and after running for nothing, Zhang Song only felt very bored.

Back at the Thorn Mansion, Zhang Song's brows tightened, and his henchman Qiu Wenzhong followed, and said straightly: "What are you worried about?" ”

"You said, this prince is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and it is when he is healthy, and I heard that the prince is quite martial arts, how can he be bedridden on a river boat." Zhang Song looked puzzled, a little suspicious.

"Uh...... This, many people take a boat for the first time, and the prince may really get seasick." Qiu Wenzhong was also confused, is there anything suspicious about this, is it necessary to deceive something.

Zhang Song shook his head when he heard this, rubbed his brows and said: "The prince is not simple, the one in the capital has almost a letter a day these days, so I can't underestimate the prince, once it is planted in the hands of the prince, it will be difficult to turn over, so it is better to be cautious."

"That'...... Do you want to give it a try? ”

"Huh? How do you try? Zhang Song raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

"The subordinates brought some precious supplements, and said that they were going to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the orders of the adults, and if they were really seasick and sick, they should not be able to see people." Qiu Wenzhong twisted his beard and guessed.

"You can give it a try, where do I have a Goguryeo ginseng, you can bring it later" There is no other better way to do it, Zhang Song also rubbed his brows and agreed, and then he instructed: "You go to convey it again, everyone's mouths are tighter, once a person is exposed, it will be all over, especially Yang Gongcheng."

"Yes, my subordinates understand. The sir...... What should Lusa do there? "Qiu Wenzhong has a very long history, that is, a big butler-style character, no matter how big or small, everything is in mind, often Zhang Song didn't take care of it, Qiu Wenzhong thought of it.
