A distinguished guest came to Jilong Port today, a person that Li Tianyang did not expect.

The person who came was Cao Yongyi, who should have been promoted and had a great future. It's just that today he was wearing an ordinary Confucian shirt and sneakily boarded a cargo ship that sailed from Ben Harbor to the chicken coop.

"What a rare guest, Lord Cao, shouldn't you be waiting at home for the court's rewards and promotion orders now, how can you have time to come to our poor country?" As the friendship between the two sides deepened over time, Li Tianyang also narrowed the relationship between them through simple jokes.

"Alas, you kid, you still have the heart to laugh, don't you know that we are in trouble?" didn't think about it, the relationship did not get closer, but provoked Cao Yongyi with a resentful look.

"Oh, where does the trouble come from?" Li Tianyang withdrew his smile, sat upright, and looked at Cao Yongyi solemnly.

"Brother Xian doesn't know, last time I had to be helped by you and others, I had to make two military exploits, although I was rewarded by the imperial court, but it also attracted the attention of the Jinyi guards." Cao Yongyi seemed to be frightened by this news, and there was indescribable panic and fear in his tone at this time: "I don't know where this Jinyi Wei learned that my military exploits are related to your Hongtang bandits, and even I myself have become a black official who colludes with bandits." If it weren't for the backing of my back, I suppressed this report strongly, and did not allow Jinyiwei to report to the governor of Fujian, and sent someone to inform me, I am afraid that I would have been a prisoner at this time! ”

Hearing Cao Yongyi's words, Li Tianyang was shocked, he had been dealing with Cao Yongyi for so long, he didn't know about it, and he didn't want to ask who his backer was. A person who has been suppressed by the surrounding bureaucrats and excluded from Penghu for many years as a five-rank official, and has not been allowed to rise to the top, no matter how powerful the backer behind him is, I am afraid that it will be limited, which is what Li Tianyang did in his heart.

But now it seems that the person who can suppress all the evidence about Cao Yongyi's collusion with them from the hands of Fujian Jinyi Wei Qianhu is not like something that an incapable person can do!

"Then I don't know why the adults are here this time?" Since the matter has been suppressed by Cao Yongyi's backers, Li Tianyang can't imagine that Cao Yongyi still came to him for something.

"I forgot to tell the little brother, now our family is also the commander of the official residence guard, and the position of Penghu garrison, which can be regarded as a real promotion." Suddenly, Cao Yongyi was a little sad because he thought of his promotion, but then he thought that in the end, he still couldn't escape the fate of being assigned to Penghu, but he changed from being unjustified to a garrison officer who could actually mobilize and command more than 2,000 water divisions in Penghu.

"That little brother should congratulate my lord, congratulations to my lord!" Of course Li Tianyang should be happy, Penghu is too close to their Bengang base camp, and today when the center of gravity of Qixintang is moving eastward, isn't it a happy thing to have Cao Yongyi, a well-connected figure, stay in Penghu?

Although Li Tianyang had long planned that no matter who would take over Cao Yongyi's original position, he would take the silver and smash them to his side. However, it is also a good thing to have less trouble.

"What is there to celebrate, isn't Lao Tzu going to stay in this place where birds don't in the end! In vain, Lao Tzu spent a lot of money up and down, and now his net worth is empty, but he only ends up with this little benefit. It can be seen that Cao Yongyi felt resentment and disappointment in his heart at this time: "I came to you this time, in fact, it was also for the silver." ”

"This time, to be honest, brother, you have helped my brother a lot, brother, I shouldn't have come to you to help me again. But now my brother is already with a clean sleeve, and he can't take out the silver anymore, but my backer, because of the exposure of the relationship between the two parties, asked my brother for silver. ”

"There is no way, brother, I have to come to the little brother and subsidize me one or two, and I will have a good reward for the old brother in the future."

No wonder this time, Cao Yongyi is so low-minded, and he treats Li Tianyang, who can be his son, as a brother, but he is waiting here!

"Since the garrison is in trouble, the grass people naturally don't dare to excuse themselves." Since Cao Yongyi has found Jicoop Port from Bengang, Li Tianyang also knows that if he doesn't give him a satisfactory answer this time, I'm afraid this guy won't leave, so he will decisively respond: "It's just that now you and I are already people in the same boat, then shouldn't the garrison also reveal to the grass people that the master on your head is the big Buddha, so that the grass people can burn high incense together!" ”

I couldn't inquire about Cao Yongyi's backers before, firstly, because Cao Yongyi had the intention to hide, for fear that Li Tianyang would cross his layer and go directly to his backers to be courteous. Second, it is also because of Li Tianyang's own contempt, thinking that since the other party's backer has been unable to operate, Cao Yongyi must not be a big man when he breaks away from Penghu. Now I can see that this person can even command Jinyiwei, and his ability is extraordinary, so Li Tianyang also has other ideas.

"Hey, that's for sure, my brother won't hide it from you, my brother's backer, that's a big deal, people have a secret fold, and they can reach the sky, even the governor of Fujian, and he must give three points." Seeing that Li Tianyang knew each other, he simply responded to his request, where would Cao Yongyi hide anything from him, and immediately told him about his backer: "Do you know that the yamen in Fujian has the most oil and water now?" Fujian Tax Supervisor! ”

"Now the one who is in charge of the tax superintendent is Mi Yu, who is directly assigned from Ouchi, the head of Mi Da. Although the Fujian tax supervisor doesn't care about Fujian affairs now, but the people's backgrounds are there, not to mention that the Fujian governor wants to avoid three points, even the Fujian Jinyi Wei Qianhu that everyone is afraid of, is just our backer's lackey. ”

"Mi Yu??" When Li Tianyang heard this person's name, instead of disliking, he frowned.

The name of Mi Yuqi was already told by Lu Bingyan when Li Tianyang and them first set foot in Yuegang, but the words were not good. Words such as vampires and plucked beasts are no longer enough to describe this person's greed and insidiousness, and there are countless things circulating in Yuegang about this person receiving money on the front foot and turning his face on the back foot.

Now that I think about it, under such a eunuch who has no lower limit and still has a deep background, Cao Yongyi was unanimously excluded and suppressed by the sailors, even if there is such a backer with hands and feet, it is no longer a surprising thing.
