1087. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming

At noon, Li Pojun declined Liang Fatzi's kindness to go to the restaurant to have a treat, and returned to the inn, Chen Kang and Hanwa sat and chatted at the door, and Li Pojun and Zhang Wenjun sat opposite each other in the room.

"Your Highness, I think that these grievances have a lot to do with our trip, or may be beneficial to us." Zhang Wenjun looked at the paper on the table and said straight.

Li Pojun nodded, turned the teacup in his hand and muttered: "We have a common goal with those Cao households, that is, corrupt officials and gangsters."

Li Pojun pondered it and said straightly: "In this way, you go to arrange it quickly, we will leave in the afternoon, the sooner you go to Yangzhou, I believe the more things you will see."

Zhang Wenqian responded, pointed to Liang Fatzi in the opposite courtyard, and said straightly: "You don't need to tell him, right?" ”

Li Pojun raised his eyebrows, "Get in the way, let's go first."

The corners of Zhang Wenjun's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak, and went out to arrange the boat. Although it is a bit rude to say goodbye like this, first, the intersection is not deep, and secondly, it is really in the way, so it is not a big deal to leave early.

When Shen Shi, Li Pojun and others packed their bags and settled the money, left the inn, went straight to the dock and boarded the boat to Yangzhou.

Yangzhou, here is the famous capital of Huaizuo, the former Sui Jiangdu, extremely rich, the highest official office in Yangzhou is the Yangzhou Thorn History Mansion, Yangzhou is a rich place, the high gate rich households can be seen everywhere, as the highest official office, Yangzhou Thorn History Mansion is naturally magnificent, extremely majestic.

Yangzhou Thorn History Mansion, in the inner hall, an official dressed in a purple official robe, with a jade belt around his waist, is reading something, the incense burner on the left, the tea on the right is fragrant, and he takes a sip of tea from time to time, so comfortable, this person is the highest governor of this rich place - Yangzhou Thorn History Zhang Song.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came near, and a person ran in with a panicked face, still holding a book of Muwen in his hand, Zhang Song frowned, and said straightly: "Wen Zhong, why is he so flustered?" ”

The person who came in was his deputy, Yangzhou Governor Shi Qiu Wenzhong.

"My lord, look, the court is a saint...... The sage sent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a salt and iron envoy, and also the ambassador of the two provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and the governor of Yangzhou, holding the sword and gold medal, to come and implement the salt law." Qiu Wenzhong was a little trembling and held up a copy of the text and handed it to Zhang Song.

Zhang Song was shocked when he heard this, stood up straightly, took the text and looked at it carefully, and muttered directly: "Chop first and then play, the right to be cheap...... The saint is willing to give up." After that, he looked up at Qiu Wenzhong fiercely, "When did it happen?" ”

"Just now, just now, the official document arrived, and I immediately sent it over." Qiu Wenzhong also said hurriedly, and then asked hurriedly: "My lord, if we implement the salt law, we won't have to make any money, and besides, if the previous thing is found out, then it should... What should I do? ”

Zhang Song paced with his hands behind his back and thought deeply, seeing Qiu Wenzhong's panic, he twisted his eyebrows and shouted: "What are you panicking about."

Then he looked at the date of the official document and calculated directly: "The document was sent three days ago, and it is expected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will only leave now, and it will be three or four days after arriving in Yangzhou." As he spoke, he turned his head sharply, pointed at Qiu Wenzhong, and said straightly: "Go and inform those people quickly, don't panic, and be honest in the recent days if you want to live." And those two gangs, also notified."

After saying that, Qiu Wenzhong was about to go out, but Zhang Song stretched out his hand again and said: "Slow, up and down the yamen, make sure that their mouths are tight."

Qiu Wenzhong responded again, looking like he listened to you all, Zhang Song was already a headache, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was young, but it was recognized that it was not easy to deal with, he could go to war in his teens, and the prince who has been winning battles can be fooled, not to mention, the prince is here, and he has the right to cut first and then play, in case he is exposed, Zhang Song believes that His Royal Highness the prince can't say that he is young and hot-blooded, and he can't even give him the opportunity to be interrogated by the three divisions, so much wronged, how can Zhang Song not have a headache, Now when I saw the deputy's wretched appearance, I was also annoyed and shouted: "Think about it, is there any omission?" ”

Qiu Wenzhong was also born in Jinshi, born in a small family, and only now has his current status after falling close to Zhang Song, but it is undeniable that he still has talent, and after thinking about it, he slapped his face and said: "My lord, a few days ago, those Caohu Diao people came to make trouble, asked for money, we didn't give it, and killed two people, do you think this thing will go wrong?" After all...... After all, the imperial court stipulated that we didn't give them a big son."

Zhang Song was shocked when he heard this, stretched out his finger and said: "Yes, it's still this matter, you quickly go to Boss Chen and ask him to give the group of mud legs a protective salary, and pay it in full."

Qiu Wenzhong's face was embarrassed when he heard this, and he hesitated, but hesitated: "Boss Chen, that's an iron rooster with a hair, insatiable man, will he give it?" In fact, Qiu Wenzhong still has a trace of uneasiness in his heart, in his eyes, it is still okay to be an official to deduct corruption, but he has done such a desperate job, not a single copper plate is given to those Cao households, Qiu Wenzhong always feels that something is wrong like this.

"Hmph, what kind of thing is he, if he doesn't listen to his own official, he won't want to cooperate in the future, you tell him, if this matter is detected by His Royal Highness the Prince, there will be no good fruit to eat after the incident." Zhang Song raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and shouted.

"My lord, why don't we come out a little bit too?" Qiu Wenzhong always felt that the gang would not be so obedient to give money, Qiu Wenzhong often contacted the gang of people, and was most familiar with their faces, eating people without spitting out bones, saying that it was a gang gathered by heroes in the rivers and lakes, but in fact it was more ruthless than bandits and thieves, the so-called Cao Gang, the Cao Gang was naturally a gang composed of Cao Hu, but now, Cao Hu has become the object of exploitation and oppression by the Cao Gang.

"What? We're out? Qiu Wenzhong, your brain let the dog eat it, and you also know where our money went, do you think we still want to come back, can't you and I go out privately? Zhang Song heard Qiu Wenzhong's words, and his face was incredulous.

Qiu Wenzhong was stunned when he heard this, and a trace of innocence flashed in his eyes, but he was the governor of the five grades, but he was scolded like a dog...... Immediately dared to say more, retreated, stood at the door and thought about it, after all, he frowned slightly and felt that something was wrong, out of the Assassin's Mansion, Qiu Wenzhong went straight to a luxurious mansion in the city.

The two gilded characters on the mansion - Chen Mansion, Qiu Wenzhong pulled the corners of his mouth, but he was just a reckless man in the rivers and lakes, but he was so rich and noble, thinking back, his more than ten years of hard work in the cold window really fed the dog.

There were two strong men guarding the gate of Chen's mansion, and when they saw Qiu Wenzhong, they didn't dare to slack off, so they were busy bowing down to greet each other, "Oh, Lord Changshi is here."

"This official wants to see Chen Yuanwai." Qiu Wenzhong looked like a serious man and said with a shelf.

Qiu Wenzhong was invited into the middle hall, and not long after, before anyone arrived, he heard a deafening hearty laughter.
