There is a neat seven-entry courtyard in the west of Linhua County, covering a very wide area. Looking inside from the high pink wall, the eaves and corners are like birds spreading their wings, light and agile. This is where the Jiangnan Transportation Office is located. On both sides of the fifth-level stone steps are stone lions, and red lanterns are hung under the tall gate tower, illuminating the vermilion gate into a blood-red color, like a giant beast with a bloody mouth, looking greedily at the Yuanhua River in the distance.

A black shadow flashed through the south wall and fell into the courtyard. The pattern of the yamen was the front and back houses. The black shadow fell to the ground and hid quickly behind the tree. Listening quietly for a while, silently around, poking out his head to look. There were a row of houses in front of him, and the black shadow flashed to the window. The window paper was broken, and the eyes of the visitor were like lightning. With a glance, he saw that there were shovels, hoes and other things inside, which were tool rooms. The moon flashed behind the dark clouds, and through the moonlight, you could see a strong face - Yang Siqi.

The Yuantian Sect re-established the country in Yi County, Rongmi State. Although the sparrows were small, they were all full of internal organs. Liu Ziwei's generation was old, and the matter of running abroad fell on the young and strong faction led by Yang Siqi. The king of the Great Qi State, Wu Yuanzhen, provided several places for the treasures of the Great Qi State. During the heyday of the Yuantian Sect, the treasures collected were naturally considerable. Before the founding of the country, Liu Ziwei sent people to retrieve them, and the new Great Qi did not have to worry about silver. In order to strengthen the strength of the Great Qi State, Yang Siqi led Li Qing, Zhao Liangcai and others to attack everywhere, defeated and merged the horse thieves, and pulled a team of 3,000 people in a year, and finally had a foundation again. The newly established Great Qi State lacked talents, and Yang Siqi was ordered to sneak back to the isolated island to attract the young and strong people on the island, and then recruited old subordinates in Dazheng and purchased slaves. The population was a valuable resource for the Great Qi State.

Before leaving, Liu Ziwei called Yang Siqi and gave him a task to bring Li Mingfeng back. Li Mingfeng and Yan'er elope and went to the capital to participate in the martial arts competition. Unexpectedly, they met Jiang Anyong by chance. Yan'er did not dare to stay for too long. After returning, they went out of Beijing and escaped again with Li Mingfeng. The two wandered around for more than half a year. Yan'er became pregnant and was somewhat unacceptable in the north. Li Mingfeng took Yan'er back to Jiangnan. Dezhou did not dare to stay, so they stayed in Wuqing County, Huangzhou, west of Dezhou (the registered residence they bought), and their names were changed to Zhang Tiansheng and Chen Dahua. Wuqing County is only 230 miles away from Xinjian County, and it can reach Pingshan Town in one day. Yan'er felt closer to home and felt more at ease.

In the 16th year of Fengle, Yan'er gave birth to a son and named him Zhang Shuyi (Li Shuyi). In the first year of Jianwu, Yan'er could not resist the longing, so she asked Li Mingfeng to send a letter to her mother, telling her that she had already started a family and had a child, and told her not to worry about her. Yan'er missed her mother, and Li Mingfeng naturally missed her master, and of course she had to tell her that her parents had died early when she was young. She was the master who had already taught her to grow up and had long regarded Liu Ziwei as her father.

After receiving the letter from Li Mingfeng, Liu Ziwei sighed. Although his handsome plan was successful, he got into his apprentice. In the letter, Li Mingfeng said that he would only be willing to stay with Yan'er and be an ordinary citizen for the rest of his life, and would not be willing to participate in the grudge between the Yuantian Sect and the Great Zheng Kingdom. The beloved disciple had decided to leave, and Liu Ziwei decided to let go and let the apprentice choose the life he wanted.

The Yuantian Sect once again established the Daqi Kingdom. Although Dazheng did not take any action against the Daqi Kingdom far away in the Western Regions, Liu Ziwei knew that once Emperor Zheng settled the northern border, he would inevitably send troops to eradicate the Daqi Kingdom. With the current military strength of Daqi, it would never be possible to avoid the fate of destruction. Only by relying on the power of all parties to survive in the cracks, Liu Ziwei thought of his disciple Li Mingfeng. Li Mingfeng was his disciple, a talent for civil and military affairs, and a talent that Daqi Kingdom was urgently needed. With him, he could greatly reduce the burden on Yang Siqi. Moreover, Li Mingfeng got married to Jiang Huayan, the sister of the governor of Huazhou, Jiang Anyi, and could become a wonderful move at critical moments.

More than a year has been in Zheng territory, Yang Siqi has successively found the lurking ground of more than ten dimensions of the Tiansect, and sent nearly a thousand believers to the Great Qi Kingdom, greatly alleviating the dilemma of no one available to the Great Qi Kingdom. Relying on these unswerving believers, Liu Ziwei has initially built a framework for the court and organized personnel to trade between the Western Regions, Da Zheng and even the Northern Desert. The emerging Great Qi Kingdom began to show its vitality.

Of course, Yang Siqi also encountered many nails. Some bases passed away with the older generation, and the next generation had become accustomed to stability and were unwilling to devote themselves to the great cause of fighting the court. Before coming, Liu Ziwei told him that everyone has their own ambitions and there is no need to force them.

The crowd is vast and you have to find Li Mingfeng.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

After worshiping Dan Yuanzi, Yang Siqi not only did not become decadent, but instead felt that a real man was born in the world and could not be buried in the wasteland as silently as Dan Yuanzi. In a few years, there would probably be no one to worship him.

With the pride of "even millions of people will go", Yang Siqi devoted himself to the great cause of running for the Great Qi Kingdom. Yuanhua River collapsed, and Yang Siqi immediately felt that the opportunity had come. He dispersed the church members he brought to the disaster area to stir up the victims and acted according to the opportunity. Maybe he could incite the victims to rebel and make the four prefectures in Jiangnan chaos. He did not expect to succeed, but at least it could hurt the Great Zheng's vitality to facilitate the development of the Yuantian Sect.

Yang Siqi thought that the Yuanhua River collapsed and the Jiangnan Transportation Office was responsible for the first time, and Linhua County would become a conflict point, so he spread news everywhere that Linhua County was able to provide disaster relief, and the victims had food and accommodation, so it was not difficult to survive.

As the crowd arrived in Linhua County, Yang Siqi investigated the situation everywhere during the day and secretly observed the county magistrate Yuan Decheng who was providing disaster relief at the city gate. He admired Yuan Decheng's actions, but each of them was his own master. The more useful the people were to Dazheng, the more harmful it would be to Daqi. Therefore, Yang Siqi was determined to kill Yuan Decheng, and the disaster relief group had no leader, and the disaster victims would inevitably be in chaos. However, in the meantime, he would first explore the Jiangnan Transportation Office.

Yang Siqi was quietly listening behind the pillar, and the sound of silk and bamboo came from the backyard. When she floated on the room, Yang Siqi quickly found the fifth entrance to the courtyard. The sound of singing and dancing string music came from the main house. There were servants in front of the door, and a maid came in and out to serve vegetables and wine.

The rich family smelled of wine and meat, and there were frozen bones on the road. Thinking of the victims selling children and girls at the city gate, Yang Siqi cursed inwardly, and quietly came to the rooftop with the cover of the roof. He gently uncovered the tiles, and the candlelight shone from below. The room was brightly lit, and there was a round table in front of him. Five people were drinking and chatting. Several women were singing and dancing at the table, and the musician sat on both sides.

After the singing and dancing, the man sitting on the left side of the table waved his hand quickly and signaled the singer and the musician to retreat. Even the maid who was serving was driven out of the door, and someone came to the door with a false impression. Yang Siqi thought to himself, and it seemed that these people were preparing to discuss major issues and listened carefully with close to the roof tiles.

"Duke Chang, the imperial envoy sent by the court is about to arrive in Linhua County. You have to get a charter. We can also do our business according to the rules and welcome the angels." The person who spoke was Zou Sujie, the man on the left, who was the Si Cheng (the seventh rank) in the Transportation Instructor's Office.

In the middle was Chang Zhichao, the Jiangnan Transport Authority. The Ministry of Works of the Court set up the Du Water Supervisor. The Du Water Supervisor has two special yamen, the Jiangnan Transport Authority and the Huanyang Transport Authority. Chang Zhichao has worked in the Du Water Supervisor for many years. He started as the Jincheng (from the ninth rank) of the Transport Authority Office, and served as the Jincheng, the River Canal Order, the Boat Ownership Office, the Du Water Supervisor, and the Transport Authority. In the past 35 years, he traveled between the Jiangnan Transport Authority Office and the Huanyang Transport Authority Office, and made all the officials of the Transport Authority Office.

In the past thirty-five years, Chang Zhichao has summarized a set of experiences of getting promoted and wealth. The books must be clear. If you have money, everyone will take the blame. If you have a backer, you have to take care of it. If you have a backer, you have to keep the property hidden. Chang Zhichao is from Lingzhou. He does not have much land in his hometown. His parents and brothers are just small wealthy. He often does good deeds and has a very good reputation in his hometown. However, in secret, Chang Zhichao has an outside house in Huaiyuan County, Pingzhou. Several concubines gave birth to ten children for him. The older one is approaching and is a scholar in the county. Chang Zhichao spent all the benefits that he greedy for. His family has hundreds of thousands of wealth and a hundred hectares of land. There are several large local households.

On the surface, the master was his loyal servant Chang Zhi (intentionally made people feel illusioned). Chang Zhichao would reunite for more than ten days in a year, and the locals did not know his existence at all. Chang Zhichao was fifty years old and was about to retire and return home for another two years. After the officialdom had forgotten him, he quietly went to Pingzhou to enjoy his life. Human calculations were not as good as heaven's calculations. More than ten dams of Yuanhua River broke him and pushed him to the forefront. Even if he was used to wind and rain, Chang Zhichao felt dangerous and unpredictable.

Years of experience have made Chang Zhichao understand that the more dangerous it is, the calmer it is. If you are busy, you will be out of control. As a lucky mess, he must calm down.

"What a panic? Yuanhua River has broken dams every year, but it's just a heavy rain and natural disasters this year." After picking up the wine, Chang Zhichao asked lightly: "Have you ordered all the instructions? There are also books, so you must make it clear and don't leave any handles. When the imperial envoy is here, at most we will be charged with a crime of not being able to lose our heads."

The punishment for poor handling is only a fine. Whoever takes the salary seriously in the seats was relieved. Wan Huaijie, the deputy envoy on the left of Chang Zhichao, smiled and said, "Mr. Chang is confident. Brother Zou, don't panic. Everything is done as Lord. Chang will do as Lord. Just keep everyone safe."

Chang Zhichao was considered a legend in the Transportation Envoy's Office. He has stood firm for more than 30 years and his official position has risen steadily. His calmness has indeed made the officials of the panic Transportation Envoy's Office much more stable. Another deputy envoy Duan Shuang raised his glass and smiled: "With Duan Chang here, it is as safe as a rock. Everyone respects Duan Chang."
