Jiang Hongjin's high price reward soon spread throughout Luoyang City. Yang Duoming naturally heard the wind, and immediately frowned.
Yan Xi said, "There are many people who want money and don't want their lives. Brother, I think it's not safe here anymore. I have to find a way to get out of the city."
Yang Duoming said, "Well, I'll leave the city now. But before I leave the city, I have to make some changes." If he left like this, Yan Xi was sure that he would be arrested.
Two hours later, Yang Duoming left Luoyang in a carriage. When passing by the city gate, the officers and soldiers checked Yang Duoming's household registration and directions, and these things were fine. The officer said: "Ten taels per person."
Yang Duoming was shocked: "Guard, how come you still have to pay when you leave the city?" He was cursing in his heart, and these dogs took the opportunity to make money.
The official said impatiently: "What do you do? If you don't pay, don't think about going out of town." It's rare to have such a good opportunity, how can you do it without making a fortune.
Yang Duoming said, "I don't have that much money. Can you take less?" After speaking, he escaped from the purse in his sleeve and handed it to the official.
The officer accepted the silver, but his eyes fell on the jade pendant around Yang Duoming's waist, and said, "I don't have any money, just use this jade pendant to pay for it."
Yang Duoming reflexively grabbed the jade pendant around his waist, and said, "No, this jade pendant is very important to me and can't be given to you." The jade pendant looks good, and it should be worth some silver.
The officials are not so good-tempered, and said: "If you don't give it, get out, when I want a piece of broken jade pendant from you." After saying this, his eyes still fell on that piece of jade pendant.
Yan Xi, posing as a coachman, walked over with a hump, and said in a low voice: "Master, the illness of the master cannot be delayed! If it is late, you may not see the master for the last time."
Yang Duoming looked tangled, and in the end he was reluctant to give away the jade pendant. Instead, he pulled out the green bamboo hairpin on his head and handed it to the officer and said: "This hairpin was carved from fine sapphire. I spent 80 taels at the beginning. I bought it for money."
The officer heard the coachman's words, took the hostess and said: "Jade pendant." If you don't give it, you won't let it go. Anyway, it is the weak scholar who is anxious, not him.
Yang Duoming blushed with anger, but no matter how angry he is, there are still two points of clarity: "This is given to me by my fiancee, and I can't give it to you."
The official said: "Is it important to me or a woman? You can judge by yourself!" This official is blatantly collecting money, and no one around who wants to leave the city dared to say anything.
Yang Duoming trembled all over, but in the end he still gritted his teeth and handed the jade pendant around his waist to the officer: "Now let us go!"
At this time, the little boss who defended the city walked over and said to the officer just now: "Return the money to him!" Seeing the officer holding the money and not letting go, the little boss said: "Don't do things for nothing, be a man and do things. Stay on the sidelines." If you do nothing, sooner or later the retribution will come to your head.
When the officer heard this, he handed the purse to Yang Duoming, "Hurry up."
Yang Duoming got into the carriage with a look of grief and anger. It's a pity that these officials are a group of people who can peel you off without money. No matter how sad he is, he will not sympathize with him.
The officer raised the jade pendant in his hand and said to the little boss: "How can this jade pendant be worth two or three hundred taels of silver!"
After walking for more than 20 miles, Yan Xi Niutou said to Yang Duoming in the carriage: "Brother, you just acted like the real thing." Rong people have studied. It's just that after so long, I only learned a little bit.
This time the two were able to pass the barrier smoothly. Firstly, Yang Duoming acted very real, and secondly, the officials were not so interested in catching the criminals, so they wanted to get more oil and water. Otherwise, Yang Duoming's disguise skills would still be easily exposed.
Yang Duoming said, "What nonsense, go quickly." He is acting in his true colors, and he is naturally no different from real.
When Yang Duoming suffered a sudden family change, he often encountered difficulties caused by these officials. It was also Yang Duoming's determination, or he would have been forced to death.
Five days later, Yang Duoming and Yan Xi returned to Gaocheng. Back in Gaocheng, Yang Duoming didn't even return home, so he went to Yunfu and told Yuxi about Jiang Hongjin's disfigurement.
After Yuxi listened to it, she was silent for a while and said, "I don't need to mention this again." In her last life, she had no bones left. The culprit was Jiang Hongjin, but she was also responsible. She was too weak and cowardly in her previous life, not to mention her current ability and mood, even if she was half as sturdy as Yurong, she would not fall into such a tragic situation. And now Jiang Hongjin is inhumane and disfigured, and he has paid off the debt owed to her. As for whether Jiang Hongjin is good or bad in the future, she won't pay attention anymore.
Yang Duoming felt like this: "Wang Hao, this time I spent eight thousand taels of silver." It was also because of Jiang Hongjin's special status that the asking price was so high.
Yuxi said: "If you spend it, spend it! What's the situation in Luoyang?" Now that you have a different mind, you have to start planning now.
Yang Duoming shook his head and said: "Very bad. From last winter to the first month of the year, more than 600 people died of freezing and starvation in Luoyang City. The government did not report these news without telling them." Starving more than ten people to death is a major event.
Yuxi frowned when he remembered that Yun Qing had said that thousands of people had died in Cangzhou.
Yang Duoming thought for a moment, and said about his departure from the city: "Those officials are in fact the same as bandits." The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. These officials dare to so blatantly exploit the past personnel, it must be allowed by the above. Yes, even, they also divided the spoils together.
Yuxi sighed slightly and said: "Luoyang City is like this, and other places are even more unbearable." Although Luoyang is not the provincial capital of Henan, its economy is very prosperous, and it is not inferior to Gaocheng.
Yang Duoming said: "The situation in Northwest China was similar to that in Hebei the year before. Thanks to the prince and the princess, the people in the northwest have a good life now." Yang Duoming said this sincerely.
Yuxi pondered for a moment and said: "The situation in the northwest is generally clear, and there will be no major problems with the supervision department. It is the situation in Shaanxi, Henan, and Hubei. We really don’t know much about it. Yes. You have been to Luoyang twice, and you are familiar with it. I want to send you to Henan, are you willing?" Yuxi wants Yang Duoming to go to Henan to collect information. All kinds of information are required.
Yang Duoming was taken aback for a moment, before turning to ecstasy. But in order to confirm the guess in his mind, Yang Duoming asked: "I don't know what the princess wants to know about Henan?"
Yuxi said without thinking about it: "All the circumstances." After a pause, Yuxi said, "Qingluo is pregnant. During this time, I will stay with her in Gaocheng!" Fu Qingluo went to Yang Duoming. It didn't take long for Henan to find out that he was pregnant, but the pregnancy was very bad. The medicated diet made by the grandmother is very effective and has a great reputation abroad. Fu Qingluo thought about the child in her belly and begged Yuxi, which is why Yuxi knew that Fu Qingluo was pregnant.
Yang Duoming smiled and said: "Wang Hao, if I'm fine, I'll go home first." Last time the child was gone, leaving an unforgettable pain for both of them.
Yuxi smiled and said, "Then you go back quickly!" Only a person who loves his wife and children can make people feel more at ease.
After Yang Duoming left, Yuxi bowed his head to deal with government affairs. It's February now, and spring plowing is about to start, and many things have to be prepared. In addition, water conservancy projects and road construction are enough for her to work.
In the evening, Yun Qing came back, but his face was a bit unsightly.
Yuxi stepped forward, took off his cloak, and said with a smile: "What happened to make you stern?"
Yun Qing shook his head and said, "It's just some mess in the army. Don't tell me, let's eat!" He didn't want to tell Yuxi about those things, so as not to make Yuxi feel bad.
Yuxi laughed and said, "No matter what it is, it will always be resolved, there is no need to be angry." If it was just something in the army, Yun Qing would definitely tell her. Since she didn't talk about it, it might have something to do with her, but Yun Qing didn't want to talk about it, so Yuxi didn't ask any more.
The next day, Yuxi asked Xu Wu: "Yesterday the prince said something bad happened in the army, what is it?" Xu Wu is in charge of intelligence work, and he must know these things.
Seeing Yuxi's question, Xu Wu didn't conceal it, and said: "Xiao Yongchang went to the prince to file a complaint, saying that Lord Han was taking advantage of the princess to seek personal gains and stalk his life."
When Yuxi heard the name Xiao Yongchang, he thought for a while and said, "Is this Xiao Yongchang Yuan Ying's wife and brother?" Seeing Xu Wu nodding, Yuxi smiled and said, "Is there any misunderstanding here?" Han Jianming He is more mellow and will not offend people under normal circumstances. With Yuxi there, there will be no one who doesn't have long eyes to embarrass Han Jianming in official business and thus settles a grudge, and this Xiao Yongchang has nothing to do with her elder brother whether it is public or private.
Xu Wu shook his head and said: "Xiao Yongchang is very brave in the war, but his brain is lacking. This time his concubine's cousin committed the crime and was sentenced to 20 years by Master Han. These two days are going to be sent to Linzhou for land reclamation. The concubine blew the pillow breeze to Xiao Yongchang. He ran to the prince and shouted without investigating the matter. He also said in front of many people that the prince was protecting his mother’s family. When the concubine is in her early days, she has to find out the matter before speaking.
In the previous words, Yuxi looked as usual. But after hearing the latter words, Yuxi laughed and said: "It seems that many people are dissatisfied with my leadership."
Xu Wu weighed it in his heart and said, "Wang Hao, then Xiao Yongchang is no brainer, you don't have to worry about him.
Yuxi looked up at Xu Wu and said, "You have a good relationship with him?" Seeing Xu Wu shook his head, Yuxi smiled and said, "Since you have nothing to do with him, why do you say good things to him?"
Xu Wu said, "This is a big mess, and it's not good for the princess." In fact, some people in the army have opinions on Yuxi's ruling power, but they are suppressed by Yun Qing. If this happens, these people are afraid that they will attack Yuxi with this.
Yuxi smiled and said: "I am walking upright and sitting upright. What is there to be afraid of. And if I am afraid that the rumors are long gone, how can I live to this day."
Xu Wu nodded.
Yuxi said, "Since this matter is in front of the prince, let the prince solve it!" R8
