After discussing all the details with Wengxian Cheng, Sha Shuli and Liu Chenggong, Tang Jiusheng left the Liu family mansion and quietly returned to the Taoyuan Inn with Xiahou Lingyu and Fatty at night. Wengxian Cheng had already asked people to ride fast horses overnight to report.

Ye Tengjiao, please rest assured that the guards and stewards from Prince Wei's Mansion have been bribed with gold and silver.

After returning to the inn room, Xiahou Lingyu happily lit the oil lamp and counted the gold and silver under the lamp. There were a total of four hundred taels of gold ingots and five hundred taels of silver ingots, which weighed dozens of kilograms.

After Guo Wu, it was really difficult for Xiahou Lingyu to carry them all the way back.

Xiahou Lingyu had never seen so much gold and silver in his whole life. He was so happy that he picked up a silver ingot and took a bite to see that it didn't look fake. Then he pestered Tang Jiusheng and asked, "Tang

Brother, with so much gold and silver, you should be able to buy a lot of things, right?"

Tang Jiusheng smiled bitterly, "Four hundred taels of gold can be exchanged for 4,000 taels of silver. Adding the original 500 taels of silver, the total is 4,500 taels of silver. With this silver, you can buy several big houses like Liu Chenli's house in this county.

son!"

Although Xiahou Lingyu knew that so much money could buy a lot of things, but when he heard that he could buy several big houses like the Liu family, he was still surprised and said in surprise: "Wow! So much money, they just gave it to you like this

?Being an official is really luxurious. You can spend so much gold and silver in one go. No wonder so many people want to get the honors. What kind of exams are there for people to be promoted? Jinshi! It makes me want to be an official!"

Tang Jiusheng smiled and said: "It's not like you think. Not all officials can give out so much money! But I have to accept this money, otherwise they won't be able to sleep well. Report and expose Ye Tengjiao's crimes, and then

In addition to these gold and silver, this is the certificate of surrender they received from me! Ye Tengjiao would never have thought that his party members in Taoyin County had already switched sides!"

The fat man sat on the chair, drank tea and said with a smile: "Old Tang, aren't we short of money? When we raid Ye Tengjiao's house in the future, we will definitely find a lot of gold and silver. At that time, we will even pay for armaments.

Got it!"

Tang Jiusheng smiled and said: "Go to sleep, we have to rush to Jianzhou County, we must catch Ye Tengjiao off guard!"

After a night's rest, the three of them got up and had breakfast. Qiu Tao, the innkeeper's wife, swayed in front of Tang Jiusheng again. Tang Jiusheng already knew that the real owner of the Taoyuan Inn was Weng County Cheng, so Tang Jiusheng and the others had just checked into the inn.

Over a cup of tea, Wengxian Cheng already knew the news, but now that Wengxian Cheng is one of his own, there is no need to worry about the landlady.

Tang Jiusheng flirted with the landlady for a while confidently and boldly, and then he settled the store money, took Xiahou Lingyu and Fatty and left the Taoyuan Inn. As soon as he left the inn, he saw a horse team of dozens of people running over. Tang Jiusheng saw at a glance that the leader was

Lu Fangping. The horses in the cavalry were all carrying some leather goods. Tang Jiusheng pretended that he didn't know Lu Fangping, so he went over to bargain, bought a leopard skin, and casually threw the two bundles to Lu Fangping.

Lu Fangping took it and felt that the baggage was heavy and hard. He didn't know what it was. He was surprised. Tang Jiusheng laughed softly and said: "It's gold and silver, put it away! In addition, you allocate ten brothers and let Cheng Zifei take them far away."

Follow us, you can wander slowly behind, I don't care!"

Putting down these words, Tang Jiusheng took the leopard

Skin, laughed and said: "You can take it home and make a leopard skin skirt for your wife!" After saying that, he took the fat man and Xiahou Lingyu and galloped away to Jianzhou. On the way, Tang Jiusheng saw Xiahou Lingyu pouting.

Without saying a word, she couldn't help but laugh and asked: "Sister Lingyu, what's wrong with you? Who made you unhappy? Tell me, big brother will help you deal with him!"

Xiahou Lingyu said angrily: "Brother Tang, is the landlady of Taoyuan Inn prettier than me? Why can you talk to him glibly but ignore me?"

Tang Jiusheng laughed wildly and said: "Silly girl, this is just a show, how can you believe it? If I don't act like a slut, who can trust me? That Qiutao is from Wengxian County Cheng, he will take my

Every move I make is reported to Wengxian Cheng! If I act like a serious gentleman, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. If not for the lack of time, I would have taken your fat brother to a brothel!"

When Xiahou Lingyu heard Tang Jiusheng talking about the brothel, her pretty face turned red and she couldn't help but spit, "Bah, how disgusting! You actually like women like that!" The fat man and Tang Jiusheng couldn't stop laughing. This girl's thoughts are so simple.

of.

More than two miles behind the three people, there were more than ten riders following them at a leisurely pace. The leader was Cheng Zifei. Behind Cheng Zifei was the tall and strong Liu Dongbao, the one who was responsible for carrying the king's flag. But at this time, it was impossible to

You can't raise the king's flag, otherwise it will scare the enemy.

Tang Jiusheng took Fatty and Xiahou Lingyu on the road and looked around to check the people's situation in Jianzhou. Sure enough, the people's livelihood was in decline. The villagers and townspeople in many places were poor. Those villagers saw three people riding tall horses and carrying weapons from a distance.

, all showed fear and hid one after another, fearing that the government officials would come to exploit him again. Tang Jiusheng couldn't help but sigh, the common people suffered so much from Ye Tengjiao.

After asking several villages, they all said that Governor Ye had enclosed their good land and was only willing to leave some barren land with them. The villagers went to complain several times to no avail, and they ran away after being exhausted.

Not leaving Jianzhou, he had no choice but to endure it. The fat man couldn't help but cursed angrily: "Damn it, Fatty Master wants to drag this Ye Tengjiao out right now and smash it with a hammer! These people work so hard, but they don't even have enough to eat.

He spends all his time living and drinking every day, why?"

Xiahou Lingyu echoed: "That's right! Brother Tang, if we catch that man named Ye, we can't let him off lightly!"

Tang Jiusheng sighed, "Yes, only by dealing with Ye Tengjiao and Niu Mandi can the common people live a good life!"

The three of them stopped and stayed at night in Changshi Town. Changshi Town is a large town with a population of 20,000 to 30,000 people. Compared with those remote rural areas, it is already prosperous. Cheng Zifei and others also moved into Changshi Town.

, but they didn’t stay in the same inn. Tang Jiu Sheng and his three people stayed at the Changshi Inn, while Cheng Zifei and others stayed at the Qingsong Inn, which was more than a hundred steps away.

After dinner, before it got dark, Tang Jiusheng saw many townspeople coming out for a walk, so he took Xiahou Lingyu out of the inn. The two of them planned to make a secret visit to the townspeople's living conditions. It turned out that all the townspeople were going to the town.

While strolling around the night market, Tang Jiusheng and Xiahou Lingyu also followed the flow of people to the night market.

The night market is placed in a small square in the center of the town. Many vendors hold lanterns, and many townspeople come out with lanterns, so it shines like daylight. There are many kinds of goods in this night market. In addition to daily necessities, there are also

Small animals, snack sellers,

There were sellers of clothes and trinkets. Tang Jiusheng squatted in front of a stall, picked a wooden hairpin, and inserted it into Xiahou Lingyu's head with a smile.

Xiahou Lingyu was happy and shy at the same time, her shy expression was hard to describe. The fat man followed the two people far behind, laughing secretly in his heart. Tang Jiusheng squatted in front of the stall and looked at the bracelets, earrings and other accessories, choosing which ones looked good, Xiahou Ling

Yu held the wooden hairpin on her head and looked at the vendor's small mirror, feeling very happy.

At this moment, someone exclaimed, "Oh, this girl is pretty! Whose girl is this? Why haven't I seen her before?" Then Xiahou Lingyu felt her butt being touched.

Xiahou Lingyu, who had a violent temper, didn't even look at her. She turned around and slapped the person who touched her butt with a big mouth. The person staggered, and the person fell two feet away, and the bird cage in his hand also fell.

It broke on the ground.

Xiahou Lingyu took a closer look and saw that the man who touched her butt was dressed as a young man. He fell to the ground and screamed. There were heavy red marks on his face, and half of his face was swollen from the beating. Behind the young man were five people who looked like evil slaves.

, an evil slave screamed and cursed, "This little bitch is quite fierce! She even dares to beat Mr. Ma! Are you fucking alive?" He rushed up to grab Xiahou Lingyu.

Tang Jiusheng stood up from the stall, grabbed the evil slave with an angry look, punched him away, and cursed: "Who dares to molest my sister? Do you want to die?"

The other four evil slaves were startled. Seeing that these brothers and sisters knew martial arts, they were not easy to mess with! So they all took out their daggers and gestured. Seeing that the knives were about to be used, the people watching were frightened and dispersed with a roar.

Opening it, an open space of several feet in radius was automatically vacated, and even several stall owners were scared away. Everyone was whispering to each other from a distance, and many people said, "It's over, these brothers and sisters are unlucky when they meet Mr. Ma."

!”

Unexpectedly, Mr. Ma, who was knocked down by Xiahou Lingyu's slap, slowly got up from the ground, covered his face with his right hand and shouted, "Ma Kui, wait a minute, don't touch my uncle! I'm a little lady.

The strength of the hands is so strong! I like it! Damn, a woman must have this kind of strength to have fun!"

Tang Jiusheng sneered, "Who are you? You actually molest a good girl in public? Do you still have Wang Fa?"

The man known as Mr. Ma laughed and said, "Oh, my uncle, in this town of Changshi, I, Ma Yuanlu, am the king! If I fancy a girl from any family, if she dares to disobey,

The whole family must be damned. I see your sister, that is your blessing. Follow Uncle Ma and me, enjoy the good food, drink hot food, wear silk and satin, and ride in a sedan when you go out. There are many gold and jade hairpins, why bother wearing a wooden one?

Is Chai Zi still happy like this?"

Tang Jiusheng laughed loudly and dusted off his sleeves, "What's wrong with wearing a wooden hairpin? The gold and jade ones are too tacky. My sister got tired of wearing them, so I bought my sister a wooden hairpin to change her taste! You don't care.

Do you get it? Who gave you the courage to claim to be the king of this town?"

Young Master Ma couldn't stop laughing wildly, "Brother, I'm afraid you're not from here when you say this! Who in Changshi Town doesn't know me, Ma Hongwen? My cousin is the county governor, Mr. Ye Tengjiaoye, and he is also the county magistrate.

You have to give me Ma Mou 73% thin noodles!”
