Chapter 31 Arrows in the ship

The atmosphere in Qi County was a little nervous, but there was no martial law. Pedestrians were still coming and going on the streets. The various taverns were filled with guests, and they were talking about the murder of the county magistrate. From time to time, you can see the yamen runners patrolling the streets, staring at every young woman in red clothes.//.com Novel Network//

The county government and the back house were controlled by the soldiers brought by Yang Yuanqing. The square in front of the county government was filled with the county's villagers and elders. Everyone was looking up at the top of the flagpole. They saw the sunken light quickly climbing towards the top of the flagpole like a monkey. There was a small black dot on the top of the five-meter-high flagpole, which was the head of the county magistrate Linghu Shou.

Chen Guang took off the head, held the rope in his hand and jumped down like a big bird, attracting amazement from nearly a thousand people. Chen Guang turned over a fight and landed steadily, winning warm applause. He bowed to everyone proudly, then quickly walked to Yang Yuanqing and presented the head, "It turns out that the county leader is the head, and there is still a piece of paper!"

Yang Yuanqing followed the note, and he sighed in his heart. The handwriting he had been extremely familiar with since childhood appeared in front of him, and it was indeed her.

The note reads sixteen words, "Turn the people to die, plunder the people's wealth, if you violate the vows of heaven, you will kill them for heaven!"

"General!" Su Lie quickly stepped forward and bowed, "Report to General, we found a contract of 3,000 taels of gold and 8,000 acres of land in the mezzanine's bedroom wall."

This result made Yang Yuanqing relieved. No matter what, it was a serious crime. Now that he had arrested Linghu Shou, he could at least have an explanation to the court.

He turned around and said to Sima Jiang: "Sima Prefect, you will write a report to the court for this matter, and I will report it to the emperor."

Sima Jiang was secretly annoyed. In fact, he knew very well where Linghu Shou’s money came from? It should be the income from offering food. The emperor went to the south and needed food to be offered to the people. More importantly, there was no account to check the food, and the emperor would not pursue it. It was a good opportunity for local officials to fill their pockets. Including himself, he also made a fortune. How could he check it?

Sima Jiang had a headache, but Linghu Shou's concubine was pretty good and quite handsome. Sima Jiang thought about something pleasant, and he nodded and said solemnly: "Please ask the Censor Yang, the subordinates will definitely investigate this matter strictly and give the court an explanation."

Yang Yuanqing stayed in Qi County for only one hour, then returned to the dock and continued southward.

The night covered the river surface, and the black waves rose and fell slightly in the night wind, flashing with rippling waves. A team of official boats slowly walked in the canal. On both sides of the canal were endless fields. The originally fertile fertile fields became desolate and dilapidated, and there were no people within twenty miles.&*. ． The fastest update for com＊＊

In the cabin, Yang Yuanqing stared at the small iron arrow on the table, and felt infinite emotion in his heart. It was almost two years later. I don’t know what she has become now. If she knew that she was heading south, would she come to see her? Perhaps she was not tired yet and refused to come to see her.

Yang Yuanqing held the iron arrow in his hand and gently stroked it. A deep thought shot out from his eyes. He pushed open the window, and the cold river wind rushed towards him, staring at the dark night, and endless loneliness surged in his heart.

"Niu Niu!" He finally shouted loudly to the night sky.

Just above the mast of the third large ship, a slim black shadow was squatting. She was hiding in extreme secluded. The huge sails covered her figure tightly. From her position, the first official ship could be clearly seen, and even Yang Yuanqing could be seen in the cabin.

She silently stared at Yang Yuanqing's figure, her eyes full of tenderness. This was her lover who had been unforgettable throughout her life. Although he had married another woman, she had no hatred in her heart, only a deep guilt for him.

Suddenly, she heard Yang Yuanqing's shouting in the night sky. Her delicate body shook suddenly, and a crystal tears came out in her eyes. Tears flowed down her fair face. She could hear the shouting was so lonely and full of longing.

She could no longer control her inner excitement. Just as she was about to jump off the mast, she saw a guard walking into Yang Yuanqing's room and pulling her back to reality. She thought of what she wanted to do, bit her lip, restrained her inner excitement, slowly took a bow and arrow from her back, and inserted a thick letter into the arrow shaft.

In the cabin, Yang Yuanqing had regained his rationality. He quickly put the iron arrow into his arms and turned around to sit down. Yang Silang had just gotten on the boat and stepped forward and bowed: "Young Master, I have already found out."

"You said, what happened?"

"Report to the general, the reason is that Wanji Ship controls the canal cargo distance..."

"Wait a minute, start with Wanji Ship."

Yang Yuanqing interrupted Yang Silang, and he felt that this Wanji Ship has more background.

"Yes! This Wanji Shipbuilding Headquarters is in Jiangdu City. It and another Shipbuilding Shipbuilding control the freight of the entire Tongji Canal. I have not found out about the background of the Shipbuilding Shipbuilding, but this Wanji Shipbuilding seems to be based on the Zhang family."

Yang Yuanqing sneered, "It's probably not as simple as the backstage, it's just the Zhang family industry, just like Yao Ji Mixing, otherwise how could the prefect of Pengcheng County stand up for it?"

"Continue!"

Yang Silang continued: "Wanji Ship controls the canal transportation. They raise a large number of thugs and patrol the canal. They dare to steal their business. They destroy the ship and grab goods. They are extremely ruthless. This time, a Zhangqiu County merchant was killed and caused trouble...."

Yang Silang explained what he knew in detail. Yang Yuanqing stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, listening to it word by word. He remembered a deep conversation with Pei Ju before leaving, and then he realized the profound meaning of Yang Guang's order to come to Jiangdu, and he actually wanted to deal with Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin is an extremely important role among the Guanlong nobles. He can be said to be the military advisor of the Guanlong nobles, the adhesive of the two major factions of the Guanlong nobles, and the key figure in the Guanlong nobles being able to unite together. Apart from this person, the Guanlong nobles will surely move towards division and become a mess. This is Yang Guang's profound meaning, and it is also in line with his interests of Yang Yuanqing.

In the capital, Zhang Jin had no handle. He was very smart. He did not have the Zhang family's property in the capital. Instead, he placed all the family interests in other places, partly in Bashu and the other part in Jiangnan. His eldest son Zhang Yunyi became the prefect of Jiangdu.

Yang Yuanqing sighed softly. Zhang Yunyi was the person he Yang Yuanqing was going to deal with this time. Finding Zhang Jin's handle from him is what Yang Guang meant, but if it was just to deal with a Zhang Jin, it would be easy for an emperor. For example, transfer Zhang Jin to Lingnan, Jiaozhi or the Western Regions to be an official, so that he could cut off the connection between him and the Guanlong Group.

So Yang Yuanqing felt that Yang Guang had a deeper meaning, that is, he completely eradicated the Guanlong forces from Jianghuai and Jiangnan, including the officialdom and shopping malls. Jianghuai and Jiangnan are places where Yang Guang relied on, and he would never allow the Guanlong forces to infiltrate.

Where should I start with? Can the canal transportation? A small canal transportation monopoly cannot defeat the Zhang family. Perhaps he can gradually dig deeper clues from the canal transportation, but he has no clue or clues in his hands.

At this moment, with a slight sound of 'Click!', an arrow shot into the window and nailed to the table. Yang Silang was shocked and drew his sword to rush out. Yang Yuanqing stopped him, "Don't panic!"

He stared at the arrow shaft, and there was a letter tied to it. Yang Yuanqing stepped forward and pulled up the letter. He could see five words written on the letter, "Yang Yuanqing opened his own heart." Yang Yuanqing suddenly turned around and stepped forward to open the rear window. The arrow shot from the direction of the mast, but the black mast was empty and there was no figure.

"Niu Niu!" He sighed softly.

In Jiangdu City, several knights rushed to a mansion and stopped. A young man turned over and got off the horse, ran up the steps and knocked on the door. This was the official residence of Jiangdu prefect Zhang Yunyi. The door was opened with a crack, and the doorman suddenly recognized the person.

"Ah! It's the young master here."

"Is my father here?"

"Here! Please come in, young master."

The young man was Zhang Yunyi's eldest son Zhang Qi. He came to Jiangdu to deliver a letter on his grandfather's order. He flashed into the mansion and walked quickly towards his father's study.

In the study, Zhang Yunyi had just received a letter from the court. The new censor Yang Yuanqing came to inspect the grain transportation. The news made him stunned for a while. Yang Yuanqing was coming. Isn’t this man a military general? What did he come to Jiangnan to do?

Zhang Yunyi's impression of Yang Yuanqing was that he was the best arrow in the world, Dalicheng, and the development of the Western Regions. He didn't know much about anything else. He also knew that the He Ruobi case caused heavy losses to the Guanlong nobles.

Zhang Yunyi couldn't think of what Yang Yuanqing did when he came to Jiang? But since he was inspecting the canal transportation, he had to be careful and restrained the two ships and not allow them to do too much.

At this time, a sound of footsteps sounded outside the door, "The eldest son is here!" Someone reported.

"ah!"

Zhang Yunyi was surprised. Is his son here? He hurriedly stood up and ordered, "Come in!"

Zhang Qi walked in, he knelt on his knees and kowtowed to his father, "Children, see my father!"

"Get up!"

Zhang Yunyi quickly helped his son up and said with a smile: "How come you have time to come to Jiangdu?"

"Reporting to my father, it was my grandfather who asked the child to come to Jiangdu, and there was something important."

Zhang Qi took out a letter from his grandfather and presented it to his father, "Father reads the letter first!"

Zhang Yunyi took the letter and sat down slowly. He had already guessed some clues, which should be related to Yang Yuanqing's visit to the south this time.

He opened the letter and read it carefully, and his face gradually became solemn. The letter his father Zhang Jin wrote to him was very long, and he explained in detail the court struggle that happened in the capital not long ago. Zhang Yunyi was secretly surprised. Is Yang Yuanqing so powerful?

"Do your grandfather have any other words?" Zhang Yunyi asked with a lowered letter.

Zhang Qi nodded, "Grandfather said that Yang Yuanqing is best at grasping the opponent's weaknesses and winning the initiative. Grandfather asked his father to temporarily stop Jiangnan's business."

"besides...."

"What else?" Zhang Yunyi looked at his son.

"Also, grandfather wants his father to take action first!"
