Chapter 7 The sixth round of the new governor's strange case on the street

The handover of the old and new governors took three days, which also included moving.That day Yin Zhengmao walked into the governor's office, and stretched his head to look at the backyard, but saw that the two pennies erected were covered with colorful diapers, and he heard two babies crying, and then faced the crowd. The courtyard was full of messy boxes and luggage, and I felt filthy in my heart, and I refused to stay for a moment, so I decided to find another place to set up the governor's office.The next day, Huang Huomu, a general in front of the Chinese army's camp, found a ancestral hall of Qin's family at the east end of the street. There were twenty or thirty rooms of large and small rooms. After moving there, the handover work was carried out in this Qin's ancestral hall.During the handover period, Li Yan tried every means to get close, but Yin Zhengmao kept a businesslike attitude and didn't give Li Yan a chance to show intimacy.This made Li Yan more worried all day long, and he would think wildly when he failed.At this time, someone told him that Yin Zhengmao had actually been here for three days. Before meeting with him, he first went to see the general soldier Yu Dayou, and the two talked at night by candlelight.Outsiders don't know what they are talking about.This made Li Yan's heart pounding even more. It was a well-known fact that his relationship with Yu Dayou was tense. Yin Zhengmao went to look for Yu Dayou secretly as soon as he came. What was his intention?

Since the day when Yin Zhengmao arrived, Li Yan had already taken off his third-rank official uniform and put on a Tsing Yi Taoist robe, with fat all over his body and a depressed face.His toad figure used to look majestic, and even a clear cough would scare a mouse into jumping on a beam, but now he looks bloated and humble, and the leaves falling on his head are just like a thunderstorm on a dry day. In a short period of time, they are like two different people.But he said that after the handover was over that day, it was already sunset.Yin Zhengmao's new duty room has been properly arranged, and he waved his hand to let the master's assistant accompany the officials to retreat, leaving only him and Li Yan in the room. "Brother, after the handover here, when are you going to leave for your hometown?" Yin Zhengmao asked.In terms of age, he was one year younger than Li Yan, and in terms of subject name, he was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing, but he was two years earlier than Li Yan.The order of the officialdom is the first to emphasize the name of the department. In addition, the two people are promoted and retired, and their fortunes are different. Therefore, Yin Zhengmao has already assumed the attitude of the boss before he can speak.Li Yan could tell that the tone was not very friendly, but now that he was begging someone for something, he could only smile dryly, and replied, "Leave within three or two days."

"What else do you have to say, brother, please tell me directly." As soon as Li Yan heard that there was a gap in the words, he quickly said: "I do have something to ask. From here to Liuzhou, there are more than two hundred miles of mountain roads. Wei Yinbao and other traitors are haunted by ghosts and ghosts. The road is very unsafe, brother. Can some soldiers be sent to escort my family to Sancha Town?" "What's the problem? Let Liu Dakui lead a thousand soldiers and send you all the way to Liuzhou." Yin Zhengmao replied simply, Li Yansheng felt a little grateful, and said guiltily: "This Liu Dakui is also a fool, I asked him to pick you up in Sancha Town, but you have been here for three days, and he hasn't noticed yet."

"I've never liked publicity. I brought two masters with me, carried a compass on my back, and disguised myself as a Feng Shui master. I walked all the way so carefree. When I passed Sancha Town, the soldiers guarding the intersection let me go after a few simple questions. It's no wonder Liu Dakui." Yin Zhengmao said it lightly, but he didn't know that Li Yan was worried about this matter.Seeing that Yin Zhengmao took the initiative to bring up the topic, he took the opportunity to ask: "I don't know why Xiongtai must bypass Liu Dakui and risk his life to come to Qingyuan Street alone."

Yin Zhengmao understood what Li Yan was thinking, so he pierced through it and said, "You don't have to be suspicious, brother, I, Yin, did this to observe the situation of the mountains and rivers here, and to hear some real bandits from the old mountain folk. " "I heard that Xiongtai stayed in Yu Dayou's camp for two nights." "It's true. Yu Dayou's military camp is between Sancha Town and Qingyuan Street. When I pass by, I will go to visit this famous anti-Japanese general, brother Li. Is there anything wrong with that?" "No, no," Li Yan quickly stated, seeing that Yin Zhengmao wanted to have a deep talk, he said, "Brother Yin, can we borrow a place to talk?"

"Where are you going?" "Kuixing Building, the only hotel on Qingyuan Street that looks good." Yin Zhengmao laughed, and said: "It seems that we have thought of getting together, and I have sent someone to book the Kuixing Tower." "I'll be the host tonight, I haven't picked up the wind for you yet!" "There is no need to argue about this," Yin Zhengmao said decisively, "I have ordered all officials above the general level to come to the banquet today to see off the outgoing governor and see you off." "Brother, why do you have to be so ostentatious? In the past few years, I, Mr. Li, have not been able to plan well. I owed the emperor's grace, and I owed the soldiers. How can I go to the banquet?"

As Li Yan said, his dry eyes became moist and sad.Yin Zhengmao glanced at him, and comforted him, "You don't have to talk like that, brother Li. You have to work hard if you don't have credit. Besides, being an official is not a bad thing for you. You escaped from this remote and barren place and went home to recuperate for two years. Maybe Mr. Shoufu has a better vacancy to use you again." "Brother, this is a reassuring word..." "According to Yin, you really have this possibility." Yin Zhengmao said.Then he got up and walked to the window, looked at the fireworks house in the afterglow of the setting sun and the vast and uneven distant mountains, then turned his head to stare at Li Yan, and said meaningfully, "As long as your brother Li has been the governor of these two provinces for three years In office, there is no trouble to be caught, and you will make a comeback within two years, and you must know that your seat master Gao Ge is still the chief assistant."

Yin Zhengmao's words have become transparent: Whether you, Li Yan, can make a comeback depends on whether I, Yin Zhengmao, shake off your "trouble".Li Yan suddenly saw a pile of account books that had been moved into the Qin's ancestral hall. He was startled and frightened. After hesitating for a while, he took out a bank note that he had prepared a long time ago from his sleeve, and handed it to Yin Zhengmao with both hands. Said: "Brother, this is a little brother's kindness, it is not a respect, I hope to accept it." Yin Zhengmao took it and saw that it was a silver note of two hundred thousand taels.Yin Zhengmao's heart skipped a beat with such a generous shot, but he quickly calmed down, threw the silver ticket on Li Yan, and said with a sneer, "Why, brother Li really thinks that I, Yin Zhengmao, are greedy and contemptible?"

"Where is it, brother, don't get me wrong..." Yin Zhengmao suddenly changed his face, Li Yan was caught off guard, he hurriedly explained but couldn't find the right words, so he faltered in embarrassment.In fact, it was Master Dong's idea to bribe Yin Zhengmao with a lot of money.Yuan also believed that Yin Zhengmao was a "greedy person". Since he had received a huge amount of silver from Li Yan, he could continue to "eat the empty amount" and make a fortune, so why not do it?I thought everyone would be happy once the banknotes were given away, but Yin Zhengmao didn't accept this kind of favor.Li Yan sat there in embarrassment, thinking: "Yin Zhengmao has never had any contact with me, and I suddenly gave him this big bank note. It should be reasonable to refuse to accept it. It doesn't matter whether he really doesn't want it, or it's a fake. Dodge, anyway, I must give this bank note out today."

Li Yan was contemplating this side, and Yin Zhengmao said again: "Brother Li, we two people don't talk dark words. I can tell you the truth. Before I met and handed over to you, I heard some rumors that you're empty." ’, the annual income is millions of taels of silver. I have read the accounts these days, although it is a bit exaggerated to say a million taels of silver, but it is also a clear account of how much 20,000 soldiers can have in a year.” Yin Zhengmao exposed it ruthlessly, and Li Yan also knew that this matter could not be concealed. Now that the matter has reached this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the truth: "I understand the account, but I don't have the money alone. If you really want to seize this matter, brother If you don't let me go, I, Li, have no choice but to accept my fate and bear this heinous crime."

"Brother Li, how can you talk like this? I, Yin, am not a greedy person, and I will not add insult to injury." "what?" Li Yan raised his head, with hope shining in his eyes. "Don't worry, I, Yin Zhengmao, will never impeach you." Yin Zhengmao said it firmly.His attitude of when it rains and when it is sunny, tormented Li Yan so much that his heart was up and down, and he broke out in a stinky sweat. "Brother is so generous, Li can't thank you enough..." As soon as Li Yan got excited, he poured out good words, and Yin Zhengmao listened intently to Li Yan's incoherent words of gratitude like a hunter appreciating the prey that has been kept in a cage.In fact, Yin Zhengmao did this not out of sincerity to help Li Yan, but for his own fundamental interests.Before receiving the emperor's decree to go to Qingyuan Street to take over as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, he had already inquired and confirmed that Gao Gong was the one who recommended this time.He and Zhang Juzheng had a friendship in the same year, and Zhang Juzheng failed to be recommended three times, and Gao Gong was the one who got in the way.This time Gao Gong promoted Yin Zhengmao uncharacteristically, and he moved so quickly, which surprised Yin Zhengmao, and there was a mystery in his heart.He also knew that Li Yan was a student of Gao Gong, and although he was incapable, he had a strong background. Before he found out Gao Gong's true attitude, he would never rashly act against Li Yan.What's more, he checked the archives of the mansion newspaper yesterday and found that Li Yan sent a letter to Gao Gong two days ago by using 800 miles away, which made Yin Zhengmao feel that the situation was even more confusing.Although he has obtained the evidence that Li Yan emptied his quota, how to use this evidence still needs to be judged... Li Yan was still nagging and saying good things, but Yin Zhengmao interrupted him and asked, "I heard that when you went to Xizhu Temple that day, the old monk refused to release the lottery for you?" Li Yan was startled: this Yin Zhengmao is really tricky, and even found out about this matter.He smiled and said: "The old monk spoke mysteriously, and asked me to devote myself to the Buddha." "What is a Buddha? A human heart is a Buddha." Yin Zhengmao smiled back, but his strange smile made Li Yan shudder, "Old monk Baijing was talking about cheap things, forget it, let's not talk about these gossips, let's go to Kuixing now Building." After saying that, he got up to leave. Li Yan also stood up quickly, handed the bank note to Yin Zhengmao again with a shy face, and said, "I hope you will reward me with this one." "It can't be accepted." Yin Zhengmao shook his head like a rattle. "Why can't I accept it?" "I have promised to help you, and I will never reveal anything about this place. If you accept your bank note, this matter is not a favor, but a transaction." "Since Xiongtai said so, this bank note must be accepted." "What's the point?" Faced with Yin Zhengmao's suspicious eyes, Li Yan suddenly had an idea, and pretended to be mysterious and replied: "Young brother has heard that when Mr. Gao Ge recommended you, he also ordered the Ministry of Households to allocate an extra 200,000 taels of silver for your military expenses. ...Hey, I don’t need to explain this matter, Gaoge always knows people well and employs people well, but for you, the military expenditure of two hundred thousand taels of silver must never be put into private pockets.” As soon as Yin Zhengmao was obedient, he wondered if Gao Gong had confessed otherwise. He wanted to find out, but on the surface he pretended to be dismissive and said: "I never thought of embezzling the two hundred thousand taels of silver. , Shoufu acted like this, probably trying to test whether I, Yin, is really a greedy and despicable person." "Brother Yin is indeed not a greedy and contemptible person, and this foolish brother can testify to it," Li Yan said, and then forced the bank note into Yin Zhengmao's hand, "This bank note just makes up for that amount." Whether this was Li Yan's idea or Gao Gong's instruction, Yin Zhengmao was a little uncertain.After thinking for a while, he said an ambiguous sentence: "Since brother Li is so kind, I will keep this bank note temporarily." After saying that, he hid it in his sleeve. Li Yan was immediately overjoyed, and felt that all threats had been eliminated, so he followed Yin Zhengmao out of the Qin's ancestral hall, and walked towards Kuixing Tower surrounded by all the soldiers. Kuixing Building is not far from Qin's Ancestral Hall.It was still dark at this time, the streets were heavily guarded, and soldiers with guns and knives were everywhere. In the past few days, the new and old governors have handed over, and just in case, they temporarily dispatched 5,000 soldiers from other places to station and guard. Qingyuan Street is protected like an iron barrel.The population in the city has increased sharply, and it is much more lively than usual.The residents on the street have been infected by the flames of war for a long time, and the sparrows on the drums are frightened. Now they hear that the old and new governors are traveling together, and they all want to see the new governor. After the soldiers on duty on the street, three groups of five A group of people gathered to watch. Because Yin Zhengmao was going to host the public banquet, he still put on the brand new third-rank peacock official uniform.He is thin and small, and he is a bit short when he walks with Li Yan, who is tall and tall. In addition, he likes to look left and right when he walks.Immediately, people who watched the excitement on the street whispered: "Look at the new governor, how does he look like a monkey?" "The old governor was like a pig." "Whether it's monkeys or pigs, they all come to Qingyuan for food, relying on them to suppress bandits, hehe..." Fortunately, these local aborigines speak "bird language", which cannot be understood by outsiders.Otherwise, these big officials in the borderlands will not be pissed off. Seeing that the Kuixing Tower was approaching, suddenly, a person jumped out from the side of the street, passed the sentry post, rushed to the old and new Governor, knelt down in the street, and shouted loudly: "May the governor please decide for the common people." It was too late to say it, but then it was too late, I saw a few soldiers rushing forward, picking up the kneeling man and dragging him aside. "Stop," Yin Zhengmao shouted decisively, the soldiers let go, the little man rushed over and knelt down again, Yin Zhengmao asked him: "What's the matter with you?" Xiaomin chirped and said a lot, just because it was "bird language", Yin Zhengmao never understood a word.I found a small school translator with a local native place, and then I understood the meaning: this small man is called Tan Liben, and he opened a delicatessen next to the Kuixing Building. Some soldiers often went to his shop to eat free food. The business just couldn't handle it.This afternoon, four more soldiers went into the store to have a full meal. Before leaving, Tan Liben asked them to pay the bill. Not only did they refuse to pay, but they beat him up and smashed the things in the store.Tan Li was outraged, so he boldly blocked the street to file a complaint. Since the establishment of the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Xingyuan on Qingyuan Street, due to the lax military discipline, incidents of harassment of the common people have occurred frequently, and the phenomenon of eating and drinking for free, robbing and stealing has become commonplace.As the saying goes, soldiers and bandits are a family, and ordinary people can't afford to provoke them, so small businessmen have to swallow their anger and close their doors and stores.Therefore, the local people hated the officers and soldiers more than the bandits, which is one of the reasons why Wei Yinbao's rebels suppressed more and more.Although Yin Zhengmao only came for a few days, he encountered the most complaints during the open and unannounced visits.He had already decided to rectify the military affairs as soon as Li Yan left, and strictly enforced discipline. He didn't expect that when he fell asleep, he met a pillow, and Tan Liben blocked the street to file a complaint.Immediately, he was not in a hurry to enter the Kuixing Building for dinner, and stood still in the street, asking Tan Liben, "Do you still recognize the four soldiers who ate free food this afternoon?" "Yes." Tan Liben replied, still kneeling on the ground. "Get up and get those soldiers. Huang Huomu, lead a team to follow him." "Yes, the general will obey." Huang Huomu came out with a horizontal knife, and was about to lead the soldiers to arrest people with Tan Liben, but Tan Liben still knelt on the ground and couldn't get up, saying: "Your Excellency, there is no need to mobilize the crowd, there is one in front of you." A burly soldier standing guard at the gate of Kuixing Pavilion. "Come here." Yin Zhengmao shouted at the soldier. The soldier dropped the machete in his hand and came to kneel beside Tan Liben. Yin Zhengmao looked at this soldier, he was as strong as an ox, with a fierce aura, although facing many officers, there was no fear in his eyes. "What a warrior!" Yin Zhengmao praised in his heart, but his face was as cold as ice, and he shouted: "You are so bold! How dare you eat people for free." "I didn't eat it." Da Bing replied in a high voice with his neck stubborn. "Tan Liben, did you admit the wrong person?" "You won't admit it wrong, this military master is nicknamed Niu Crazy, and he took the lead in smashing my shop." Tan Liben was a shrewd person, and seeing that the new governor wanted to support him, he bit him to death.Crazy Niu knelt aside, immediately stretched out his fist as big as a vinegar bowl, shook it in front of Tan Liben, and said, "You dare to slander good people, be careful, Lord Bing, I will open a soy sauce shop on your face." "Bold and stupid, if you dare to be presumptuous, be careful that I will peel your skin!" Yin Zhengmao scolded angrily, and the madman restrained himself a little.Yin Zhengmao asked Tan Liben again: "You said he ate your wine and meat for nothing, do you have any witnesses?" "Have." Tan Liben pointed out a few, including soldiers and neighbors.But some of them were unwilling to come forward to testify out of protection, and some were afraid of reprisals.Crazy Niu was proud, knelt there and grinned. Faced with this scene, Yin Zhengmao smiled at Li Yan, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Li, the farewell banquet for you tonight seems to be delayed for some time." Then, he cut his hands behind his back, two eyebrows Hanging up, he opened his triangular eyes and shouted: "Come here, bring some chairs. Today, the governor will try this case clearly on this street." At that time, the sky was completely dark, and the deep sky was dotted with sparse stars and bright moons. Two lanterns were also lit at the gate of Kuixing Tower. The soldiers got a dozen pine lights from somewhere and lit them. The street is also bright and majestic.Yin Zhengmao pulled the chair and sat down, and asked Tan Liben: "What did these soldiers eat in your store?" "Mustard meat, and two hares." "You," Yin Zhengmao asked, pointing at the lunatic Niu, "did you eat these things in Lao Tan's shop?" "No." "Okay, I'll give you another chance, do you want to eat?" "No, no, don't talk about musk meat, I haven't even seen a dick." Because no one dared to stand up and testify, this lunatic became more and more unscrupulous.Yin Zhengmao admired the wildness of Niu Crazy, but he also concluded that he must have eaten other people's wine and meat for nothing.He squinted a pair of small eyes, and two cold lights shot straight at Madman Niu, as if he could see through his heart and liver. "Yellow Huomu." Yin Zhengmao called out. "The end is here." Huang Huomu stepped forward again. "The guards in front of the tent of the Chinese army, is there anyone who is skilled in swordsmanship?" "Back to the governor, all the guards in front of the tent of the Chinese army are skilled in swordsmanship." "Okay, call a few." "yes." With a wave of Huang Huomu's hand, four mighty soldiers with machetes walked out immediately. "Go, take off his shirt." Yin Zhengmao pointed at the lunatic Niu, and four soldiers rushed forward, threw the lunatic Niu to the ground, and stripped his upper body naked in three or two strokes. "Your Excellency, you can't kill me casually." The lunatic bull who was pinned to the ground and couldn't move, howled. Yin Zhengmao smiled coldly, and replied sharply: "The governor will not kill you, but will collect evidence from you. Open him up!" "This……" If they really wanted to do something, the four soldiers were also stunned.Kneeling at the side, Tan Liben wanted to sue to get back a few pennies, but seeing that he was about to die, he was panicked and at a loss, and hurriedly kowtowed like pounding garlic to intercede for the lunatic: "My lord governor, I beg you to spare this soldier's life, I would rather not have this meal." Yin Zhengmao was already vicious, and said with a smirk: "Family has family rules, and the army has military laws. You don't need to be a good boy in this matter. You said that the lunatic ate ​​your mussels and rabbits for nothing, and the lunatic refused to admit it. Now I have to give it to you." The lunatic bull disemboweled and disemboweled him, and if there were chewed mussels and rabbits in his intestines, he deserved what he deserved. If nothing can be found, sorry, your surname Tan will have to kill and pay for it. You still What are you doing in a daze, do it!" Seeing that the governor was furious, the four military masters had no choice but to obey the order.I saw a military master slashing his knife horizontally, followed by a sound like tearing cloth, and the scream of the mad cow tearing his liver and gallbladder also sounded at the same time. After that, there was no sound. one place. Although the generals watching were killing people like hemp, the tragic scene before them still made them shudder.Li Yan even closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at it. A smell of blood came rushing over him. He couldn't cover his nose and felt sick. He quickly bent down and vomited disgustingly... Only Yin Zhengmao, like an iron man, sat motionless on the chair. "Is there evidence in the gut?" Yin Zhengmao asked. "Yes, there are a lot of meat scum." The soldier replied tremblingly. "Hmph, it's his own fault. Drag him down and see if he can save his life." The four swordsmen galloped away carrying the lunatic cow.Staring at the pool of blood on the ground, Yin Zhengmao didn't bat an eyelid, and shouted again: "Tan Liben!" Tan Liben was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and passed out.Yin Zhengmao ordered someone to wake him up with cold water, and said: "Tan Liben, the soldiers eat your wine and meat for free, it's because the governor is not strict in discipline. I believe this kind of thing will never happen again. I will send someone to you tomorrow for the money for the meal and wine." Send them here, and now I have to trouble you to make a hard trip to lead the way for General Huang and arrest the remaining three." Tan Liben was like sifting through chaff, but was picked up by Huang Huomu and his soldiers.Only then did Yin Zhengmao stand up with the arm of the chair, patted Li Yan who was still leaning over and retching, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, let's go, the food in Kuixinglou may have been cold long ago." Li Yan left for two or three days. On that day, Yin Zhengmao was calling Yu Dayou, Huang Huomu and other generals to discuss the matter of suppressing the bandits. Suddenly, a soldier came in and reported that someone was looking for him at the door.Yin Zhengmao was engrossed in listening to Yu Dayou's presentation of his military strategy, so he said he didn't see him.The soldier retreated and then turned to play: "Master Governor, the person who came claimed to be your relative, you must see him." Yin Zhengmao was puzzled when he heard this: "A relative? How could my relatives come here?" So he asked Yu Dayou to pause As he spoke, he hurried out of the gate of Xingyuan, only to see a fat man wearing a navy blue cotton sermon gown and a Zhuge scarf on his head, pacing in the open space in front of the gate with his back turned to him. Who. "Sir, the governor is here." The soldier leading the way shouted, and the fat man turned around. Only then did Yin Zhengmao see the face of the comer, and he couldn't help being shocked, and shouted: "How could it be you?" "Unexpected." Fatty approached with a smile. Yin Zhengmao turned from astonishment to excitement, grabbed the fat man's shoulders with both hands and shook, and shouted, "Okay, Li..." The fat man interrupted Yin Zhengmao with a "shh", and said, "Old Cousin, I'm here to buy medicinal materials. I heard that you have also been promoted here, so I just stopped by to have a look." "Okay, okay," Yin Zhengmao said in response, "You take a rest first, drink a cup of tea to relieve fatigue, there is still a meeting over there, I will come over right away when I finish the session." After that, he called a guard and asked him to take the Take it to your room of value. From the governor's expression and attitude, the guards and servants in the Xingyuan knew that the visitor was a distinguished guest.After being sent to the duty room, the footman on duty bowed and bowed again, invited him to sit down with tea, and wrung out a hot towel to wipe off sweat and dust.In fact, this ostentatious visitor was not Yin Zhengmao's relative, but Li Yihe, the envoy of Hunan Province.Yihe's style name is Youzi, and Zhang Juzheng and Yin Zhengmao were all Jinshi in the same year in the 26th year of Jiajing.Because he is from Yingcheng County, Jingzhou Prefecture, he has a fellowship with Zhang Juzheng and is one of Zhang Juzheng's few close friends.This time, he secretly came to Qingyuan from Changsha, Hunan, all the way this time, and he came here on the shoulder of Zhang Juzheng's mission. After taking a seat in the duty room, Li Yihe had already drank a large pot of hot tea. Among his colleagues, Li Yihe was nicknamed "Li Sanhu", which meant that he couldn't do without "teapot, wine pot, and urinal".Seeing that he could drink tea so well, the servant simply brought a special-sized earthenware teapot inlaid with silver. "Hey, your governor is so rich." Li Yihe said, pointing to the teapot. The servant replied: "This is left behind by the former governor, Mr. Li." When Li Yan was mentioned, Li Yihe felt a sense of grievance in his heart: "This bastard, he even lost a battle and made a fortune, so he is too cheap to be punished." So he asked: "I heard When Master Li left, fifty horses were used to carry the luggage?" "It's still cut in half." The valet is a veteran, well-informed, and his tongue is particularly slippery, "According to Master Li's original idea, I want to bring everything, and two hundred horses are not enough." "How come there are so many?" "Why can't there be so many?" The servant asked back, then pointed to the lofty mountains in the distance outside the window, and said, "You are a newcomer and don't know that there is a kind of wild fruit in this mountain, which is only as big as a peanut. One, sour and astringent and tasteless, but it has a special effect, eating it can give strength to the dick. Every year around the Mid-Autumn Festival, this fruit matures, and Master Li sends soldiers to pick it up the mountain. Last year, the fruit pickers The soldiers were also ambushed by Wei Yinbao, and more than 200 people died. After the fruit was picked, Mr. Li ordered people to use honey to make the fruit into candied fruit. Dozens of jars are made every year, and they are not only used for their own use, but also given away to others Just for this thing, Mr. Li was going to take away ten altars, and five horses had to carry the ten altars, but after cutting it down, only two altars were taken away." "Hearing what you said, isn't this wild fruit an aphrodisiac?" "Yes," the footman blinked mysteriously, and said seriously, "I heard people say that if you eat this stuff for a long time, you will turn into a boar in heat." One sentence made Li Yihe laugh out loud, and said, "Now I understand why Mr. Li is looking for Mrs. Sifang." "In our place, a boar has to breed hundreds of sows a year!" The servant's words became more and more unscrupulous, and his silly and cunning funny appearance made Li Yihe gasp for breath with laughter.At this moment, Yin Zhengmao stepped into the door and said jokingly, "What's so lively!" Li Yihe learned what the servant said again, and Yin Zhengmao couldn't help laughing, he let the servant back out with a chuckle. "Brother Sanhu," Yin Zhengmao looked at Li Yihe, and said in a humorous tone, "You are a majestic master of Sanxiang in the town of Sanxiang, why did you come here suddenly by pretending to be my relative?" Li Yihe said in a low voice: "I came here on the mission of Brother Tai Yue, and the matter is confidential, so I have to disguise myself." Yin Zhengmao has always felt a mystery about his promotion this time.Before taking office, in addition to sending a letter of gratitude to the emperor, he also sent a letter to Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng.Although it is a personal letter, it is an official document for the occasion, nothing more than words of gratitude.Yin Zhengmao didn't dare to express his opinion rashly because he didn't know what to do.Seeing Li Yihe now, he knew that the strangeness could be solved, so he asked eagerly, "Brother Tai Yue, what are your orders?" Li Yihe deliberately put on a show, and said with a smile: "I'd like to hear what brother Shi Ting thinks about my promotion this time." Yin Zhengmao blurted out, "What promotion is it? Maybe it's a trap." Li Yihe replied: "Why didn't you get promoted? You changed from the eight-fold copper seal of the third-rank official to the silver seal of the nine-fold willow-leaf seal script. Although you have not been promoted in rank, the silver seal in your hand is of the same size. , although a little smaller than a first-rank official, it is still bigger than a second-rank official, and the nose button is still a crouching tiger. For two hundred years in the Ming Empire, anyone who holds this seal, as long as they win a battle, Immediately he can be promoted to Jiuqing. Brother Yangshi, don't you know this?" Yin Zhengmao heard Li Yihe's words obviously contained jealousy, and deliberately asked: "If you lose the battle, the end will not be the same as Li Yan, pack up and get out?" "In our same year, who doesn't know that you, Yin Zhengmao, are a genius?" Li Yihe drank a pot of tea, called the servant to come in for a refill, and then said, "So, Brother Tai Yue is not worried about you being defeated, but It's because I'm afraid you'll be fooled by Gaobeard. Didn't you just mention the trap, Gaobezi really designed a trap for you!" "What trap?" "Gao Gong allocated an extra 200,000 taels of silver to your military expenditure and let it out to make you embezzle. May I ask Brother Yang Shi, how do you deal with it?" "Please tell Brother Taiyue about this, I, Yin Zhengmao, won't even take a tael of silver." "Go back all of them?" "No, since it was allocated in the name of military expenses, why should I return it?" Yin Zhengmao sneered at first, and then said, "I plan to use this money as a reward. Anyone who beheads a rebel head will be rewarded." Ten taels of silver, one hundred taels of silver for beheading a rebel leader, and fifty thousand taels of silver for capturing Wei Yinbao and Huang Chaomeng alive. With a heavy reward, there must be brave men. confident." Li Yihe nodded frequently, and said, "Brother Taiyue can rest assured with such an arrangement." "Why, Brother Tai Yue also thinks I'm a greedy person?" Li Yihe could hear some displeasure in Yin Zhengmao's question, and quickly explained: "Brother Shi Ting, don't misunderstand Brother Taiyue. He is not worried that you will embezzle the two hundred thousand taels of silver, but he is afraid that you will not You know, the two hundred thousand taels of silver is actually a bait set by Gao Gong." "Bait?" Yin Zhengmao's eyes widened. "Yes, you don't know about some things that happened in the capital recently. Brother Taiyue originally wanted to write a letter to tell you, but he was afraid that the letter would fall into the hands of others. So he sent someone to Hunan to tell the cause and effect of this incident, and let me try to I took a leave of absence for more than ten days, and secretly came to Qingyuan to communicate with you." Li Yihe then recounted some festivals between Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng when Emperor Longqing was ill.Yin Zhengmao listened carefully and had a premonition that a storm was brewing in the capital city, but he was skeptical about Gao Gong's plot to harm him. After winning the battle, how can he harm me?" "Brother probably doesn't know yet. As soon as you left Nanchang, the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the capital city has secretly sent people to Nanchang to investigate whether you have committed corruption in Jiangxi. Every time you come and go, it's just a matter of front foot and back foot Generally speaking, there is absolutely no reason for the capital procuratorate to chase after the ass for any promotion. Moreover, this Ducha censor is the same year as Li Yan and is a student of Gao Gong. Brother Yangshi, the mystery of this, do you know? Still can't see clearly?" Li Yihe spoke eloquently, every sentence was what Yin Zhengmao didn't want to hear, but he had to listen to every sentence, he couldn't help being agitated, and his little fantasies about Gao Gong disappeared, replaced by a vicious revenge mentality, and suddenly Two more cold lights shot out from the triangular eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to see if Gao Gong is really playing me like a monkey." "Now he's playing tricks on you." Li Yihe added. "Then let's see who is playing with whom?" Yin Zhengmao slapped his thigh, his voice was low but embarrassing, "I have a trump card in my hand, as long as I play it, he is definitely not the only one who falls." Li Yihe was startled, and hurriedly asked: "What trump card?" Yin Zhengmao smiled cunningly, and said, "Actually, it's not a trump card, you will know when the time comes." The "trump card" that Yin Zhengmao said was the 200,000 taels silver note that Li Yan gave him. Although he did not doubt that Li Yihe had indeed come here on Zhang Juzheng's mission, he felt that some of what Li Yihe said had yet to be verified. Therefore, there is still a little defensiveness, and he refuses to tell the truth.Li Yihe also saw this, and felt unhappy, so he got up and said goodbye. "Why do we have to leave, at least we have to stay for one night." Seeing that Li Yihe was dissatisfied, Yin Zhengmao sincerely tried to persuade him to stay. "I can't live here," Li Yihe glanced at the door of the duty room, and said, "You, Governor Xingyuan, have many old people from Li Yan. If you know my true identity, it will be bad for you, brother Taiyue, or It's better to go quickly." "So, I won't force you to stay," Yin Zhengmao said. The two bid farewell in front of the gate.
