Chapter 80 Patrol Deng Sheng
Yanghe saw that the boat was getting closer and closer, but it was the Yellow River. The common shallow boat on the canal, carrying no more than four hundred materials.
Judging from the draft of the ship, Yanghe is estimated to be only about 300 materials, but it is very suitable for traffic on the Yellow River. After all, there is a lot of shallow water and sand here.
There were some people standing on the boat. The leader seemed to be a man wearing black veil and wearing official uniforms. Some people gathered beside him. Judging from their appearance, they might be archers.
"Is it someone from the inspector's office opposite?"
Yang He pondered in his heart, seeing the boat was decorated with red oil, and there was a wooden sign on it. It should be undoubtedly from the inspector's office opposite. After all, this is the only official ship that appeared in this area.
"Mr...."
Han Daxia looked at Yang He, and even Zhang Chugong, Hu Juye and others all showed hesitation on their faces.
Suddenly, the official people appeared, not knowing their enemies or friends, not knowing good or evil. Everyone was a little worried and subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
I am afraid of officials, and it is the same in ancient and modern times, even these former defeated soldiers are no exception.
Yang Hedao: "Look at the form."
But he didn't care. He was a student and had no reason to be afraid of a mere patrol. Moreover, his team had hundreds of people, and he also had enough force to protect himself.
If you want to cross the river, you can only use the power of this corpse to get a pillow when you are sleepy.
But he still got off the horse, and saw the boat getting closer and closer, and whispered: "When the boat is docked later, you will all take out your energy."
Soon, the official ship was not far from the wooden trestle and sailed from afar. Then the people on the boat called and leaned on the big ship, threw an iron anchor down, and smashed it into the water in a daze.
Several people on the boat jumped up quickly, pulled the cable, and circled the cable posts many times, slowly pulling the boat closer and finally getting on the pedal.
It took them a very short time to watch them docking the boat to tie cables to laying pedals. They are worthy of being a guy who eats on the water all year round.
However, seeing that many of them have black faces and shrank their hands and stamped their feet, it is obvious that it is not so easy to survive on the boat in winter.
Finally, the official Yang He was paying attention to slowly got off the boat surrounded by some people, and there were two people behind him holding a horse.
Yang He thought to himself: "It's indeed a patrol."
Yang He saw that the official was dressed, wearing a black gauze, a ninth-rank green official robe, a seahorse painted on the patch, and a waist sign made of copper wood hanging around his waist, which was heavy.
Seeing that he was in his forties, his face was round and chubby, and he wore a delicate warm ear, not like a warrior, but like a businessman.
At this time, the official robes of civil and military officials were almost the same, but there were differences in the tusks. Judging from the official tusks, there was a seahorse on them, which means martial submission.
Behind him, he was dressed as a middle-aged man, a clerk, and looked gentle and elegant, and followed silently.
There were also two people dressed in Zao Li, who were leading the horses and following them.
In addition to the left-behind people, a dozen archers followed, folded their scarves, wrapped them with shoulder scarves, wore short blue clothes and armor, wrapped in red waists, and hung wooden waist signs. They each held iron rulers, ropes, bows and arrows, waist knives, spears, bird guns and weapons.
The group was noisy and came to the stone steps.
Seeing these people's force, Yang He also felt relieved. If they had any malice, they would sank them all into the Yellow River.
Han Daxia, Zhang Chugong and others also breathed a sigh of relief. They remembered Yang He's instructions and looked at each other with a squinted eyes, just watching these people come over.
The official had long noticed the situation on the shore and kept looking at Yang He and others along the way. His tiny eyes swept over and looked at Han Daxia, Zhang Chugong and others. Not only did he not get angry, but his eyes lit up.
Seeing Yang He even brightened his eyes even more.
He went up the steps and came to the dike. He smiled and said, "Dare you ask, Mr. Yang He, who defeated the bandits and killed Zhang Fangyu's thief?"
Yang He saw that his face was full of surprise, his tiny eyes were squeezed by the fat on his face, and his expression was very exaggerated.
He said, "I dare not, it's just a matter of me. How dare I ask the Lord?"
He bowed and guessed the purpose of the official, and thought that the news would spread so quickly that even people on the other side of the Yellow River knew about it.
The fat official smiled and bowed: "The subordinate Deng Sheng is a inspector of the Xin'an Inspection Department. The subordinate is ashamed. As an inspector, he cannot protect his side. Fortunately, with Yang Gong, he defeated the bandits, which really makes us more ambitious."
Yang He said: "Inspector Deng is too good at it, and the students dare not be the one."
The two exchanged greetings, and inspector Deng seemed to be quite worried. His eyes swept around Zhang Chugong, Han Daxia and others' faces. At this time, he couldn't help but say, "I heard that Yang Xianggong has a large team, are they just these people?"
Yang He smiled and said, "That's not the case. There are hundreds of students waiting on the official road, and then Yang comes over to see if there are any boats crossing the river."
Inspection inspector Deng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and he laughed: "So that's it, it's easy to talk about crossing the river. The husband's team is on the official road? Just go and see. As an inspector, Deng met a hero who made great contributions to killing thieves. He deserves to be commended and condolences."
Yang He smiled and said, "There is a lot of trouble for inspector Deng."
They all got on the horses, then went down the embankment, and followed the path to the official road.
The two of them walked together, and then their respective men followed behind and soon arrived at the official road.
There is still noisy here, with a bonfire blazing, and the soldiers standing or squatting, all around the fire to joke.
Seeing Yang He come back, Minister Yang and Qi Youxin who are left behind are all happy. Then, they are stunned when they see the fat official walking with him.
The people in the team also stood up, and suddenly they saw the officials making them a little nervous. Fortunately, the fat officials and their ranks seemed to be friendly but not enemies, and they were a little less oppressive. Many of the archers who inspector Deng followed were ragged and numb.
Compared with that kind of spirit, it is more correct to say that the people on Yang He are archers and they are refugees.
Moreover, there was Gong Yang on top, so everyone was stunned for a while and they were not very nervous, just whispering.
Minister Yang came over, he served Yang He to dismount and whispered: "Young Master..."
Yang He gave him a look: "It's okay."
Inspection inspector Deng was serving two Zaoli to dismount. He looked at the team in front of him, his eyes were bright. Sure enough, there were hundreds of people. Although most of them were women and children, there were probably more than a hundred elites.
Moreover, they fought all the way, and the murderous aura that showed was even more powerful than the archers under his command.
Although these people are refugees, they are very energetic and have very different words and deeds. They are completely different from a team of escapes.
Most of them, even women, carried shields and sticks, which surprised Inspection Deng.
Judging from the situation of the team, the two soap members behind him were whispering and looking curiously, and the archers following him were even more surprised.
There was also the middle-aged man Zan Dian who had been standing silently. He also looked at Yang He in surprise, and then he still had a faint smile on his face.
Inspection inspector Deng glanced around and saw several feeding horses, which were obviously seized from horse thieves.
According to various circumstances, it is true that Xianggong Yang defeated the bandits.
Inspection inspector Deng touched his two shiny mustaches and laughed.
...
Yang He and inspector Deng sat opposite each other on the official hat chair of the rosewood, and a pot of hot tea was placed on the table. Then Zhao Zhong raised it over and added some firewood to the fire pit in front of him. The "cracking" burned vigorously, and a burst of warmth came towards him.
Yang He persuaded Zhancha, and inspector Deng drank it. He seemed very curious about the origin of Yang He and why he had to go to the north bank of the Yellow River.
Yang He sighed: "The students were originally students of Luyi, but the bandits were rampant and they had no choice but to leave their hometown. By chance, they led this team and just wanted to find a place to live. They only sighed that the bandits on the south bank of the river were like Mao, and they also had the worries of collapse of the dike, so they thought of the north bank."
Inspection Officer Deng laughed and said, "This is a coincidence. There is a large village just a few miles north of the inspection office. It happened to be abandoned not long ago. My husband and his group happened to live there."
Minister Yang, Qi Youxin, Yan Dezheng and others behind Yang He all showed joy. There was a villager, and hundreds of people in his own business could live there?
Yang He also smiled and said, "It's the best."
He chatted with inspector Deng and learned a lot of this person from it. He heard that his family has been inspectors of the Xin'an Inspection Department for generations. Then he had a younger brother, Guan Deng, who served as the ambassador of the Xin'an Express Transportation Office in Pizhou, not far away.
Then two younger brothers Deng Fa and Deng Cai, both of whom worked as yamen runners in the Pizhou yamen.
The four brothers, who are promoted and made money, belong to the civil service system.
So he patted his chest and promised that Yang Xianggong and his party would just carry it to him. His Xin'an Inspection Department had three large and small boats, and his younger brother Deng Guan's delivery station also had more than a dozen boats, enough to transport hundreds of people across the river.
Yang He thanked him with a smile, constantly advising him to tea, but he was pondering in his heart.
There is no friendship in the world for no reason. The ancients said it well, and they are both traitors and thieves without any reason.
Inspection Commissioner Deng rushed to get in touch with each other and make good friends. What is his intention?
He pondered in his heart, guessed the intention of inspector Deng, and thought of his position.
The Ming Taizu established a inspection department to inspect pedestrians, crack down on smuggling, arrest thieves, intercept fugitive soldiers and prisoners. For hundreds of years, it has played an important role in local thieves arresting, public security patrols, and deterring and suppressing bandits.
However, although they belong to the military defense, they belong to local prefectures and counties. Their commanders are just local archers. They have weak combat power and their status in inspections are even less high. However, it is very difficult to get promoted from a ninth-rank miscellaneous position.
Moreover, the grassroots level of Lijia is now collapsed, refugees are everywhere, and there are many bandits of all kinds. This inspection and department system, which originally cooperates with the Lijia system and the elderly system, has become increasingly unable to do so in Pingjing.
How could a policeman fight with a regular rebel?
The inspection department is at most a role as a grassroots police station in later generations.
Yang He pondered, why is there a large village just a few miles north of the inspection department, and it just happened to be abolished, so he could live in a team of hundreds of people? A large village with at least a thousand people, and it would be abolished at any time. Could there be any large bandits nearby?
Inspection Commissioner Deng is so attentive, is there some pressure to kill someone with a knife?
But at present, it is ideal to be able to cross the river and have a place to live immediately.
After crossing the river, let’s live there if there is a village.
