At the end of March, Chang'an City was in a spring drought, the sky and the earth were dark, the air was dry and hot, several canals in the city were close to drying up, and the trees on the roads and streets and alleys were listless, and the branches and leaves were dusty.

In the Cui Mansion of Shengpingfang, Gao Yue sat on the edge of the couch and carefully fed soup to Yun Shao, who had a poor appetite due to drought and heat.

"Song Qing, you seem to have put less salt."

"Hmm...... Actually, I would have put more salt in it, but you can't eat anything too heavy now. Gao Yue coaxed his wife to drink more.

Now Cui Ning has gone out of Zhenfangzhou, and the Liu family is the master of the house, and today is closed, Gao Yue is rarely at home with his wife.

However, in fact, he also knew that the air in Chang'an City was close to exploding:

The siege of Jingzhou City still continued, but the treasury and the money and corn in Taicang were difficult to support, so the imperial court let the envoys go to Jingzhao and Tonghua Prefecture, and forcibly requisitioned the surplus grain from the people's homes at a low price to supply the army.

Not only that, but the imperial court also had to requisition a large number of Dingkou, responsible for transporting grain to the front line, and it was said that they would soon pull people to Pingliang Kaitun, and the streets and alleys of Kyoto were suddenly in turmoil, and Guo Forging and his ilk took the opportunity to instruct the evil boy to intimidate the residents everywhere, and if they didn't pay benefits, "I will let you go to Pingliang and Saibei to cultivate the fields!" He also used this to extort merchants, and the people of various places hid in Tibet, and some even fled from the capital and went to Zhongnan Mountain.

In the chaotic situation, even Gao Yue's retreat could not do business at this time, so it could only be temporarily closed, and several students fled to Cui's mansion to ask for protection, among which He Moyun complained to Gao Yue after he came in: "When the emperor first ascended the throne, he appointed Yang Yan as the prime minister, and everyone thought that the peaceful days were coming, who thought that it was only less than a year, it was really a leek cut after the autumn, a stubble is not as good as a stubble, and it was a blind toss!" ”

"There are many rooms in Cui's Mansion, everyone lives next to my room, don't run around." At this time, Wu Cailuan came out to greet this group of friends.

As a result, Ran Sanniang, He Moyun and other students all rubbed their eyes, rubbed and rubbed, and looked at Wu Cailuan, who was now with a new look, in surprise:

The lotus crown is bright, the temples are like ink, the eyebrows and eyes are handsome, the skin is snow-white, and a new feather coat makes her figure more graceful.

"Refiner, ......" Everyone blinked, looking at the buildings, furnishings and flower gardens of Cui's Mansion, thinking that the rich and noble family is really a rich family, and even Wu Cailuan has been contaminated with fairy energy after coming here, which is simply reborn.

As a result, He Moyun and the others just came in the morning, and in the afternoon, Guo Forging came to the door to blackmail, and he had to pull out ten slaves from Cui's Mansion and transport grain to the front line, or he would hand over a hundred yuan to offset it.

"Guo Forging you are so good, you scraped the door and scraped into the house of the imperial doctor!" Gao Yue stood in the vestibule and said angrily to Guo Tuo.

"Scrape the door? Gao Shiyu, now the country is difficult, this is an official apportionment, down to the common people, up to the three dukes and nine kings, there is no exception, you play to the emperor Guo is not afraid at all. ”

"Jing Zhaoyin can't control you?"

Guo Forging laughed on his back and asked Yan Dayin, are you talking about Yan Dayin? He has just been impeached by your Imperial History Observatory, and now he is detained in the Jinwu Courtyard of Daming Palace for the crime of lying about the disaster.

When Gao Yue heard this, he was really angry, what kind of lie about the disaster, is this scene of "mulberry leaves without native smoke" blind and invisible? It wasn't because Yan Ying's previous opposition to Mintun provoked Yang Yan that he was framed like this.

The person who impeached Yan Ying was Yang Yan's henchman Shi Zhang, who had just returned from Hunan, and was said to have rehabilitated Cao Wanggao's unjust case and received the emperor's commendation.

Gao Yue didn't want to entangle with Guo Forging at the moment, so he went to ask the Liu family.

"Gao Lang doesn't have to be polite, if you want to use 100 yuan money, just say it to me directly." Liu immediately took out four horseshoe gold and handed them to his son-in-law.

Guo Qiang, who took the gold, left with a cruel smile, and mocked Gao Yue and said: "Senior high school, senior high school, I have to talk to you in advance, the war in Jingzhou City is stalemate, and this money can't last much time, maybe I will have to come and collect it again in the next half of the year." But I think you live in such a big mansion now in the third year of high school, you can't run away. However, if you have a good relationship with the young Langjun on the road, go to flatter and flatter, and then I, Guo Tuo, will be able to consider showing mercy to my subordinates. ”

After Guo Forging left, Gao Yue sneered a few times, "Young Langjun on the road? ”

Xingdaofang is near the wine pavilion of Zhuque Street, the special gathering place of Taofen Shed, Gao Yue, Wei Cigong, Liu De room gathered, even Dugu Liangqi and Zheng Qi also came to participate, the original lively wine pavilion, at this moment Xiao Suo is very, looking from below, a team of people in the smoke willow, each fresh clothes and angry horses, walking in the direction of the imperial city, for the first old man, but also shaking the horsewhip, full of ambition.

"Lingnan Festival makes Lu Sigong." Dugu Liangqi said slowly.

"Now that he has finally returned to the court, it is said that he will give the military department a book." Zheng Qi continued.

"When Emperor Daizong was there, Lu Sigong quelled the rebellion of Lingnan Ge Shuhuang, and after entering Guangzhou, he killed countless Nanyang merchants, confiscated hundreds of millions of property for himself, did not hand it over to the imperial court, and bribed Yuan Zai to protect himself. After Yuan Zai's death, Emperor Daizong once wanted to kill him, but it was only the persuasion of Li Mi, the assassin of Hangzhou, to give up. Why can he return to the court now as the secretary of the military department? Wei Cigong was indignant, and then said in a low voice, "It's not that he secretly bribed Yang Yan again." ”

"Yang Yan will not accept Lu Sigong's bribes by himself." Gao Yue suddenly said this, and the eyes of several people turned to him, Gao Yue raised his wine glass unhurriedly and drank it all, "But he will let his wife and children accept it, just like what Yuan Zai did at the beginning, he is worthy of being the successor that Yuan Zai fancied at the beginning, and even the way to take bribes is no different - hum, Yang Yan's son, Yang Hongye, a member of the driving department, is not the 'Danglu Langjun' in the mouth of the thief catcher Guo Tuan?" ”

At this time, Wei Cigong's anger and courage came up, "Yisong, do you want us to knock on the drum again?" ”

Now the entire Taofen shed, including Dugu Liangqi and Zheng Qi, are indignant at Yang Yan's perverse behavior.

Gao Yue slowly raised his hand, "No need, there are some things that we don't have to do by ourselves - just let the Holy Lord experience it himself." Then he looked at Zheng Qi again, "But there are some things that we have to do with our own hands, civilization—there is something you have to do now." ”

Zheng Qi praised it slightly, saying that there was no problem.

Then Gao Yue got up, walked to the vermilion fence and the crimson wind curtain, and looked in the direction of Daming Palace with his back hand.

There, countless angry people were surrounding the Jianfu Gate, crying out for the Jingzhao Yin Yan Ying, who had been framed and detained in the Jinwu Courtyard, and the torches were dyed in the twilight.

"The common people can't stand it anymore, can't you Yang Yan see it?"
