Gao Yue, who had served as the post envoy of the Procuratorate, was wearing a green shirt in late autumn in August and sitting in the center of the main hall of the Baqiao Station.

At this time, a group of people and horses, all riding mules, came to the post station from Baqiao with a smile, and showed Cui Qing the "food cake" after coming, claiming that he came from Caizhou, and was the foot official of Li Xilie, who was the envoy of Huaixi Jiedu, and wanted to enter the Daming Palace and wait to meet the Holy Lord.

The so-called food is the strip of the festival envoy, and you can eat and drink in the post house along the way.

When Cui Qing heard that it was Li Xilie's person, he was very nervous, and he didn't dare to offend the new Huaixi Festival envoy, so he took the food and looked at it, only to see that it was written on it, "Tired of the road pavilion, just for food." ”

As a result, after eating, the group of marching officers asked for something again, and Cui Qing said, "Isn't it just for food?" ”

The leading marcher sneered twice and said, "That's right, it's for food, that's it—this postman, you only served food, but this 'that's it' not served yet!" ”

Cui Qing cried with a sad face and said "just" What is it? He had never heard of it.

The group of Caizhou laughed and said, "That's it, bigger than a donkey, smaller than a mule, worth 3,000 yuan per horse, I waited for a total of 14 people to enter Beijing, and the post station will supply 14 horses, a total of 42,000 yuan." ”

At this time, Gao Yue had already gotten up from his seat, and the people around him were all frightened and avoided when they saw that it was the inspector of the patrol.

"Who are you?" Caizhou's foot officials were at a loss, and they said unconvinced to Gao Yue......

An hour later, the Huaixi Concert Academy, which got the news, sent several officials riding fast horses, galloping with a few sticks, and then the fourteen marching officers cried, took off their crotch and coats, and lay down in a row in front of the Baqiao Post Gate, and then the officials of the Huaixi Concert Academy personally waved their canes and hit the spine, and under the autumn sun, "crackling" beat the fourteen people who were flesh and blood, and kept begging for mercy to Gao Yue: "Gao Shiyu, Gao Shiyu, spare your life!" ”

"What's that?" Gao Yue asked them with his hands behind his back.

"That's it, that's it."

"Will you still be able to ask for it along the road in the future?"

"Don't dare to ask for it, don't dare to ask for it!"

In the end, the fourteen extortion marchers were beaten to the point that they could not walk, and they were thrown onto the calf carts, and they were dragged to the Jinju Courtyard in Beijing with sighs.

The people of the entire Baqiao grass market and the transfer yard poured over, all cheering and applauding, people had long been hurt by these Fangzhen marching officials and eunuch temple officials who were blackmailing everywhere: I didn't expect that Gao Shiyu had impeached Shao Guangchao before, and now he has severely punished the marching officials in Huaixi, which is really happy!

Cui Qing also came over and thanked Gao Yue for his kindness.

"Alas, eighteen brothers, it is really not easy for you to run a post station for so many years. In the future, I will be the post envoy of the Inspectorate Pavilion in my third year of high school, and I will take good care of this No. 1 post station in Jingdong. Gao Yue hurriedly helped Cui Qing up.

Before the words fell, I saw another group of people, coming from the direction of Changle Slope over there, Gao Yue took a look, there was actually a newly promoted Zhongshu Sheren Gao Shen (Gao's Prime Minister's Room), and the new chamberlain Huo Zhongtang, so he stood next to the road and gave his hand.

Huo Zhongtang was the first to see Gao Yue, hurriedly dismounted, saluted Gao Yue, and shouted affectionately, "Master Gao...... No, it's the high servant. ”

After Gao Shen dismounted, and after bowing to Gao Yue, Gao Yue asked them why they came to Baqiao Station.

"Yes, it's Sima Yang." At this time, Cui Qing's eyes were sharp, and he pointed to the end of the bridge and shouted.

I saw that it was not Yang Yan on the bridge, his beard was fluttering, he was wearing a green robe, riding a horse was very proud, followed by a car, presumably his wife was riding, Yang Yan really returned from Daozhou!

But at this moment, Gao Yue looked at this scene, but there was no happiness in his heart as expected, but a hint of complicated taste, "Yang Yan, after all, he is still back." ”

I saw Huo Zhongtang walking up quickly, intercepting Yang Yan's horse, and then respectfully presenting the thin bamboo pipe, Yang Yan got off the horse and took it, opened it and saw that it was naturally a purple robe and an ivory wat board. The current situation is really like Yang Yan's grand wish in Baqiaoyi when he was moved to the left in the past: in the future, I will still have to take off the green robe and change the purple robe, throw away the wooden tablet and replace the elephant wat, and walk back to the main office of the Xuanzheng Hall step by step.

And Gao Shen, a member of the Zhongshu House, read out the emperor's white linen book on the spot, that is, worship Yang Yan as a servant and a flat chapter.

Yang Yan immediately entered the main hall of the post station, changed the green robe and wooden slip on his body into a purple robe and an elephant wat, threw the former into the bamboo flute, and handed it to Cui Qing, who was standing outside the door, and then he looked at Gao Yue, knowing that San Lang was now the superintendent of Xiantai, so he strode over and was about to shake hands.

Who would have thought that Gao Yue and Cui Qing would work together, claiming to have seen Yang Menlang.

"Alas! Gao Sanlang, Cui Shiba, you and I are in love with life and death, you don't have to be formal! Yang Yan hurriedly stepped forward to support the two, and then held Gao Yue's hand tightly, "San Lang! ”

Then the people of the entire Baqiao Town watched on both sides of the road: I saw the new servant Yang Yan and the young superintendent Gao Yue walking side by side, one purple and one green, the purple one was handsome, and the green one was energetic, but it was Gao Shen, a member of the Zhongshu House, who could only ride a horse and tiptoe behind.

Yang Yan then pressed his bridle and openly asked Gao Yue: "The eldest brother was able to survive from Daozhou today, all because of the grace of San Lang." What's more, Saburo's talent, why not? The eldest brother must be strong, whether to continue in Baitai (Yushitai), or to admonish the province (Menxia Province), but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Gao Yue was thoughtful and humble and silent.

Yang Yan sensed his thoughts, "Eldest brother, I know that the lord of your Jinshi and the first is Pan Yan, and now he is the son-in-law of Cui Ning, the envoy of the Xichuan Festival, and there is more than one way to be promoted, but this is also a piece of the eldest brother's heart, don't doubt it!" ”

Gao Yue persuaded Yang Yan: "Eldest brother, you can repay the kindness of Cui Qing, the head of Baqiao, first." ”

Yang Yan laughed on his back and said, "Don't worry about San Lang about this matter, I will promote Cui Qing in a month." ”

Only then did Gao Yue speak, he was actually thinking about Jingyuan and the entire northwest military defense tuntian, so he said: "The third year of high school is not happy to be in Taiwan Province, and now the country's border is troublesome, I hope that I can hang the constitutional title in the future and go to the northwest military town to carry out the tuntian policy." ”

This sentence just poked Yang Yan's heart, he has always wanted to inherit the legacy of Yuan Zai Tuobian Northwest, and it is really good to be like-minded with Gao Sanlang, so he immediately promised: "After two or three months, San Lang is the imperial history of the Seven Rank Palace, and then he can be the judge of a certain embassy Yingtian, I don't know if San Lang intends to Shuo Fang, or Fengxiang, or Jingyuan, or Zhenwu Army?" ”

"Jingyuan." Gao Yue didn't think twice.

In the next few days, the government continued to change.

After Yang Yan was the prime minister, he first promoted Lu Hua (the former head of Baqiao) to be the head of Zhongshu, and he used to take care of him in Daozhou and also got American jobs, and what surprised Gao Yue even more was that Yang Yan suddenly found an excuse to belittle Xue Fan, a scholar in Zhongshu, and Liu Xuan, who was a disciple in the matter, went thousands of miles away as an official - the approximate reason is that they had made Gao Yue difficult in the homicide case in Huidong City, and Yang Yan was avenging Gao Yue.

However, Yang Yan seems to have forgotten the honest man Cui Qing who still stayed in Baqiaoyi.
