In the afternoon, the skinned corpses of tens of thousands of households were still hanging there in the willow tree next to the Water Gate in the East City, and passers-by could not help but frown at them.
A carriage passed slowly by under the escort of dozens of cavalry. Chang Yu opened the curtain and took a look: "It turns out to be just like a skinned sheep. Your Majesty, do you think it looks like it?"
Zhu Yihai frowned. He didn't want to watch it for fear of having nightmares.
But he had seen skinned people before: "Back then, the Tatars skinned many people in Yanzhou City."
"In the future, we should build a temple in Shandong with the heads of Tatars to commemorate the innocent people who died in vain! The Tatars owe Shandong too much." Chang Yu put down the car curtain and said calmly, as if he was talking casually.
random.
But what Zhu Yihai heard was a different shock: "I heard that Eunuch Chang killed thieves and built a Jingguan in Taiyuan. It's true."
Chang Yu raised his head, glanced at him, and said with a chuckle: "There is a Tatar view of Beijing at the foot of the Great Wall north of Beijing. That's really spectacular."
Zhu Yihai suddenly became excited: "The stubborn Tatars and Shandong have a sworn feud with this king! What if..."
"If the prince gives his full support, our family is willing to avenge this country's hatred and family hatred!" Chang Yu interrupted him and laughed.
"But please take whatever you have, and I will never break my promise." Zhu Yihai was very forthright.
But Chang Yu just replied with a wry smile, because this guy is just a poor loser, he has nothing but the scene where he talks openly.
"It will be fine if the prince is willing." Chang Yu smiled half-heartedly: "It's just that at the moment it's clear that the prince has no intention, but some people are really weak and unintentional, and later they will ask the prince to help them beat them."
Zhu Yihai was not a fool. He knew the elegant meaning when he heard the string, and his expression immediately became very exciting: "Eunuch Chang doesn't want to... take advantage of the situation."
"Perhaps we can put it another way." Chang Yu chuckled: "To eliminate disasters for others and take money from others, this matter cannot be settled by the Kong family alone. Our family can help him settle matters, so a small reward is not excessive."
"Not too much" Zhu Yihai nodded.
"It has been more than two hundred years since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. The Confucius family has received great honor from the emperor. Now that the country is in crisis, it is not too much for him to do something loyal to the emperor, right?"
"Not too much, not fair at all!" Zhu Yihai nodded more firmly.
Sihe Ferry is as busy and lively as ever, even busier than before, because many people from Yanzhou are rushing to cross the river east to get some benefits from the Confucius family in Qufu.
Wei Changde was still munching on watermelon under the pergola. He had been very arrogant recently, bragging to everyone he met that he had seen the eunuch of Dongchang who was a powerful murderer. His words were amazing, but few people believed him.
It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, anyway, Wei Changde himself firmly believes that that person is.
The wharf, like brothels, restaurants and casinos, is a place where three religions and nine schools of fish and snakes are mixed together. It is also a place where all kinds of news are flying and public opinions are fermented. While Wei Changde is talking about his adventures, he will naturally hear news from all over the place.
For example, there may be civil unrest in Qufu. For example, something is wrong with the city of Yanzhou being closed yesterday. For example, there are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers going south along the canal in Jining, and even many Cao Gang ships are hired to transport grain and grass...
"Boss Wei." At this time, one of his subordinates hurriedly walked into the pergola and whispered something in Wei Changde's ear. Wei Changde stood up and threw the watermelon aside: "You read that right?"
"Absolutely not wrong." His subordinates nodded with certainty. Wei Changde rushed to jump on the boat and shouted to the other side.
A few riders were watching under the shade of the trees at the ferry on the other side. Wei Changde got off the boat and rushed to the front. He cupped his hands and said, "Sir, common people..."
"I'm not a grown-up, my surname is Kuang," Kuang Ren jumped off his horse and cupped his hands, smiling.
"Boss Kuang," Wei Changde said very openly. He and Kuang Ren didn't know each other before, and they didn't have the brutal and arrogant attitude before: "But we have to cross the river, so that gentleman didn't come?" He said and looked into the distance.
"Yes, we are crossing the river. There are more people than when we came here." Kuang Ren said and whispered to him: "Prince Lu is also there. There are many people at the ferry, so brothers, please be a little more cautious." He took out the
Twelve taels of silver were thrust into Wei Changde's hand.
"Prince Lu is here too." Wei Changde was a little surprised. He thought to himself again, and quickly stuffed the money back in his hand: "Last time, the brothers were unreasonable. This time, if you don't accept the money, it's considered companionship."
.
"One code equals one code." Kuang Ren quickly handed it to him again: "Didn't your Excellency say it last time, if you don't take away a needle or a thread from the people, you won't take away a penny from the people."
"No, no, no, Boss Kuang, you heard me say that this money really cannot be collected. The brothers begging for food in Surabaya are actually receiving the food from Prince Lu. This entire Yanzhou belongs to Prince Lu's Palace, we can't eat it.
I still charge money for my meal..."
Kuang Ren was stunned and didn't know how to refute, but he was also a person who accepted death, so the family members refused to each other. Chang Yu's carriage had arrived at the ferry. After seeing the situation and asking about the situation, he called Wei Changde to the front of the car.
Wei Changde came to the car very nervously and knelt down with a thud: "Grass people..."
"Get up and talk." Chang Yu opened the curtain and looked at him: "You are a very loyal person."
"The common people were blind to Mount Tai the day before yesterday... The common people just thought... Anyway, I can't accept your money this time."
Chang Yu laughed heartily: "This governor is not your Mount Tai, Prince Lu is your Mount Tai." He said to Zhu Yihai: "This guy is a good person."
Zhu Yihai understood what he meant. The current situation of Prince Lu's palace was the time to win over people's hearts and recruit people to expand his power. Wei Changde was the leader of the Cao Gang in Yanzhou and was indeed very useful.
"What's your name? Can you recognize me?" Zhu Yihai asked.
Wei Changde knelt down again: "The common people asked Wei Changde to seek life in Surabaya, and he has never seen the prince."
"Since Eunuch Chang said that you are a nice person, I will spare the time for you to go to Prince Lu's Mansion in Yanzhou in the future."
Wei Changde was overjoyed. Firstly, it was finally confirmed that Chang Yu was really the eunuch. Secondly, being able to get close to the big tree of Prince Lu's Mansion would make him more prosperous in Yanzhou in the future.
He kowtowed in gratitude, but was stopped by Chang Yu: "It's hard to refuse your kindness today, but I'm not taking advantage of you in vain. I'll give you a big deal later."
"Big deal?" Wei Changde was startled.
"Yes, you will go to Qufu Kong Mansion to find the governor early tomorrow morning."
"Oh, ah, your lord, sir, there is a civil unrest over there in Qufu. You..." Wei Changde suddenly remembered the matter and spoke to remind him.
"If there was no trouble, what would the governor and the prince be doing over there?" Chang Yu chuckled and lowered the car curtain: "Hurry up and cross the river."
Wei Changde didn't seem to understand, so he quickly agreed and ran to the dock to greet people.
