Chapter 35 Weinan Fisherman

Yang Yuanqing walked out of the county yard and saw a man in green standing outside the yard. Yang Yuanqing vaguely remembered that he seemed to be a servant beside Pei Yun. (")

The man hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "See son-in-law!"

"What's the urgent matter?"

"The master ordered me to send a letter to my son-in-law."

The man took out a letter and presented it to Yang Yuanqing. Yang Yuanqing took it and it was Pei Yun's handwritten letter. He took out the letter and read it. It turned out that was the case. As he expected, Pei Shiji wanted to use Zhang Xutuo to attack him. The person sent by Yang Guang was called Yuwen Huan, who was not familiar with him.

"Son-in-law, the villain has something to say."

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Let's talk in the yamen!"

He brought Pei Yun's servant into the county yard and came to an empty room. Yang Yuanqing ordered the guard leader Zhang Sheng to come in too.

"What's your name?" Yang Yuanqing asked with a smile.

"I'm in the name of Tong, and my name is Tongwuro."

"Tell me!"

Tong Wulang bowed and said, "This Yuwen is the personal bodyguard around the emperor and the son of an official. It is rumored that he has an affair with the palace maids and has a very bad reputation. This person is greedy for money and lust, and is as timid as a mouse. He is a mediocre person."

Yang Yuanqing nodded and asked again: "What information is there?"

"There are also this person and I leaving Beijing at the same time. They were about 200 people riding horses and taking land routes. One of them was an eunuch who went to Liyangcang to announce the imperial edict. The villain and they walked all the way to Hejian County. I came down directly from Qinghe County, but they went towards Wei County, probably to Liyangcang."

Zhang Sheng laid a map on the table. Yang Yuanqing looked at it for a moment, then turned around and asked with a smile: "Is there any news?"

"And the master asked me to tell my son-in-law that you must not be careless. Yu Shiji is extremely vicious. Once he catches the handle, he will never let go, and there will be nothing else."

"Thank you all the way."

Yang Yuanqing turned around and ordered: "Reward two hundred yuan!"

"Thank you, my son-in-law, for the reward!"

Tong Wulang bowed and went down with Zhang Sheng. Yang Yuanqing looked at Pei Yun's letter carefully again. In the letter, Pei Yun hinted him not to let Yuwen Yin arrive at Qi County. The implication was to let himself solve this Yuwen Yin halfway, and Yang Yuanqing also had this idea in his mind.

He came to the map again and studied the route of Yuwen International. There were many ferries across the Yellow River, including Bohai County, Pingyuan County, Qinghe County, Wuyang County and Ji County. In the first three months, the bandits were severe, and Yuwen International would definitely not go there. Then it was Wuyang County and Ji County. Tong Wulang said that one of them was going to Liyang Cang to announce the imperial edict. Liyang Cang was located in Ji County, close to the Yellow River and Yongji Canal. Then Yuwen International was very likely to cross the Yellow River from Ji County, but it was not ruled out that he turned around and went to Wuyang County to cross the river, and he had to make preparations himself.

At this time, Zhang Sheng walked in, Yang Yuanqing turned to him and said, "Send a few brothers to Dongjun and Dongpingjun, and be sure to find the whereabouts of this team of guards."

Zhang Sheng agreed and turned around. Yang Yuanqing's eyes turned to the map again. If the guards could not be stopped halfway, he could only use Yu Wen I's weakness to deal with him, seize his handle and sue him.

























Crossing the Yellow River from Liyangcang, the other side of the Yellow River is Dongjun, which is the famous Puyang in history. At noon that day, it was in Weinan.

On the official road about twenty miles north of the county, a team of more than 400 war horses and more than 200 guards was rushing towards the south of the Weinan.

County advances.

The young man in the head wearing a purple robe and a black gauze hat was the imperial envoy Yuwen Huan. Yuwen Huan's grandfather Yuwen Qing was also a slave of the Yuwen family and was given the surname Yuwen, but Yuwen Qing made great achievements and was a famous general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Yuwen Yin was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Although he inherited the legacy of his ancestors on the outside, he was handsome and burly. He was a handsome handsome man and was very popular among women. However, he was an absolute playboy. He grew up in the palace since he was a child. There were rumors that he was dirty in the palace in the city, but it was just a rumor, but there was no evidence.

As Tong Wulang said to Yang Yuanqing, Yuwen was greedy and lustful. For him, this kind of mission to the place as an imperial envoy was undoubtedly an opportunity to make a fortune. With the emperor's trust in him, such a trivial matter would not be pursued.

Including his 200 subordinates, they were all greedy and were specially matched with a pair of horses, one horse was specially used to consign the property they had blackmailed along the way.

Yuwen I was mediocre and incompetent in other aspects, but he was a master in making money and playing with women. He knew that first, he could not take a boat, and the Yongji Canal was desolate and dilapidated along the way, and second, he could not go to bandit-affected areas, such as Qinghe County, Pingyuan County, Bohai County, etc. (《》)

They came slowly along the way, passing through the prefectures and counties, and everyone gained a lot. Yuwen Il has already harvested 5,000 taels of gold and countless jewelry, and the next way there are Dongjun, Dongping County, Jibei County and Qi County. These are rich counties with a large population. In the end, he had to blackmail Zhang Xutuo, and then according to Yuwen Shu's intention, he was punished for a serious crime of corruption, causing others to lose both money. Thinking of this, Yuwen Il squinted his eyes and smiled proudly.

"Boss, find a place to have lunch!"

Several guards shouted strangely: "I ran all the way and my stomach was shattered."

Yuwen Yin frowned and looked around. There were Weishui in front of him, and there were only a few villages around him, and there were no wine shops and inns.

"Just bear it! Let's go to the county and let the county magistrate set up thirty tables of banquets, and each one will have a singing and dancing girl, and enjoy it."

"Boss, there are still twenty miles left!"

This time, a large group of guards shouted together. At this time, a guard pointed at Weishui to the south and shouted: "Look, is there a wine shed on the official road ahead?"

Everyone looked at each other and saw a wine shed a mile away in front of the official road next to the waters. Everyone cheered and ran towards the wine shed.

After a moment, a large group of soldiers rushed to the wine pan. More than a dozen shopkeepers in the wine pan all looked at each other. A young friend greeted him, "Welcome the military men to the shop!"

Yuwen I saw that the wine shed was very simple, made of bamboo poles and linoleum, covering about half an acre of land, with mats on the ground, and more than a dozen long tables were placed, which could accommodate more than a hundred people. There were forty or fifty people in it, including men and women, most of them dressed up by merchants. When they arrived, many people stood up nervously.

Yuwen Il pointed at the horse whip and said with a bad voice: "Drive all these people away!"

More than a dozen guards rushed in and whipped the head and face with a whip, "Get out! Get out of here!"

Dozens of diners were so scared that they stumbled and fled. The young guy stomped his feet in a hurry and shouted, "Hey! You haven't paid yet!"

"Stop howling! Serve the officials and have your reward."

A large group of guards quickly filled the seats in the wine shed, and the horse was tied to the wooden stake outside. Yu Wen Xiao slapped the table and shouted, "Is there any wine or meat?"

"Report to the official, I just killed a donkey in the morning. I entered dozens of jars of wine yesterday, but it was not a good wine."

"Don't talk too much, bring it all!"

More than a dozen mates hurriedly went to carry wine and serve meat. Yuwen Il looked at the mate who was serving him next to him. Seeing that he looked beautiful and had a faint scholarly look, not like a mate, but like a scholar from a wealthy family, he asked, "What's your name?"

"The villain's surname is Xu, and his name is Xu Ye, and he is from this county."

"Well! You look like a scholar, why did you become a bartender?"

The guy smiled bitterly and said, "Bandits are rampant, their homes are looted, and their parents and sisters are dead. I am wandering in Weinan. A scholar is powerless and is about to starve to death. Thanks to the shopkeeper who is in charge of the housekeeper, he is a friend who is a good meal."

Yuwen Yin frowned, "There are also bandits in Dongjun? I haven't heard of it!"

"Yes! Two hundred miles south, at the junction of the four counties, there is a big mountain called Wagang Mountain. Two months ago, more than a thousand thieves occupied the mountain and became kings, called Wagang Village, and the leader was called Zhai Rang. He led his subordinates to fight and rob houses everywhere, and the villains were destroyed in their hands."

Yuwen I was shocked, "Will they come to Weinan County?"

The young guy shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, official, they are still weak now, and they are only in Weicheng County at the north, and there are more than a hundred miles away from here."

Yuwen Im then felt a little relieved. At this time, the guys came up with the wine and meat. The donkey meat was cut into large pieces of fists, boiled in salt water, and then poured with sauce. It was fragrant and tempting, but the wine was not very good, yellow and muddy, like a horse's urine. Yuwen Im frowned when I saw it. Can this be drunk?

The young guy smiled bitterly and said, "The wine in the small shop is sold to past coolie merchants. It is impossible to get good wine, so the official can just drink it!"

Yuwen Yi poured a small cup, tasted it, and vomited it out, cursing: "It's sour and smelly, it's really like a horse's urine."

He is a pampered person, and he can't drink this kind of wine, but the meat is very good. It is tender donkey meat, fat but not greasy, and has a mellow aftertaste. He ate three large pieces in one breath, and praised with a thumbs up: "Yes, the donkey meat in the Baoding Cauldron of the Capital City is not as fragrant as it."

Other guards didn't care whether they were good at drinking. They ate meat in big mouthfuls, drank big bowls, and fought with rock-scissors. The noise was endless. Yuwen Yi was happy to eat. He glanced at the young guy in front of him. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with beautiful eyes and fair skin. He had evil thoughts and said with a smile: "I say you scholar, what kind of guy you are? I just don't have a scholar in charge of documents by my side. Just do your business for me!"

The young guy asked timidly: "The official is......"

Yuwen Il held his hand and smiled ambiguously: "My surname is Yuwen, and I was sent by the imperial envoy. Do you understand? Follow me and you can eat delicious food and drink spicy food. Wouldn't you be happy with a tall horse? "

The young guy hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Xu Ye thanked the official!"

Yuwen Huan smiled. At this moment, his eyes flashed and his head became dizzy. He vaguely saw that all the guards around him fell down. He secretly cried in his heart, but it was too late. His body tilted and rolled on the ground.

All the 200 guards in the wine pan were laughing and the guests who had just been driven away came back with a smile. Someone clapped his hands and said, "The Mandala wine is really good!"

The young guy's face was as deep as water, and he kicked Yuwen Il and scolded: "Your dog eyes are blind, how dare you hit me Xu Shiji!"

This is the shopkeeper who walked up to salute, "What should I do if the third leader? Have you killed them?"

"You can't kill it without arbitrary!"

Xu Shiji was the third leader of Wagang Village and was proficient in military tactics and strategies. Their spies had set their sights on this group of guards in Wei County as early as the time of Wei County. They were unruly and unscrupulous. They had four hundred good horses and countless gold, silver and treasures. Xu Shiji came to intercept the team under the order of Zhai Rang.

He stepped forward and took out the imperial edict in Yuwen's arms, found his fish card, and pondered for a moment: "These people have unusual identities and will not hurt their lives. Everyone stripped their clothes and put them in the boat, and brought them back to Wagang."

Someone ran to the river and whistled. Dozens of shed boats sailed to the dock. Everyone stripped the guards of their clothes, tied them up and carried them into the boat. The Wei water could go straight to Wagang Village.

Xu Shiji changed into Yuwen I's official robe, hung the fish sign around his waist, and smiled at his subordinates: "From now on, my name is Yuwen I, you all call me Mr. Yuwen."
