Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 425
Ye Xun's right-hand man, Hu Jiucheng, the current head of the Xichang stall, is a bandit outside the pass, and he did many bad things when he followed the big traitor king to the warehouse.

And the reason why this person was able to know his way back and finally gained Ye Xun's approval and trust was due to one of Hu Jiucheng's elders, that is, the old beggar in front of him.

Before leaving Beijing, Ye Xun asked Hu Jiucheng, but Hu Jiucheng didn't know the elder's whereabouts. He only knew that he seemed to be near Yangzhou recently, so Ye Xun came here to look for it.

The more capable the person is, the lower the profile is. Dragons and tigers are hidden in the grass. Although Ye Xun has high martial arts skills, he never dares to underestimate anyone.

Walking up to the beggar, bowing and saluting, he said, "Old man, we meet again."

Although the old beggar wanted to assassinate him before, he was still a man of righteousness, so he deserved Ye Xun's respect.

The old beggar sat up slowly, and said with a smile: "If the famous Eunuch Ye can treat you so courteously, the old beggar's work is not in vain. How about it! Would you like a drink?"

As the old beggar said, he brought the wine gourd behind him to his body, unscrewed the lid, took a sip, and then handed it to Ye Xun.

Xiaoluo was about to go up to stop her, but Ye Xun blocked her back, reached out to take the wine gourd, imitating the old beggar, raised her head and took a sip.

"Good wine, soft and long-lasting, at least 20 years old"

After Ye Xun finished speaking, he raised his head and took another sip before returning the wine gourd to the old beggar.

The old beggar looked into Ye Xun's eyes with admiration, and sighed: "Eunuch Ye is Eunuch Ye. He knows that someone has already offered 20 taels for your head, and he also knows the identity of the old beggar, but he still dares to drink it." The old beggar's wine, with this courage alone, no one in the world can beat it."

Ye Xun smiled slightly, and sat down on the stone next to the old beggar, saying: "Ye has a clear conscience, why are you afraid of those young people? The old hero understands righteousness well, how can he be compared with those people, and he still thought about the old beggar earlier. The hero can go to Liaodong, but now that I think about it, the old hero still prefers to be free!"

When Ye Xun first went to Liaodong, there was a shortage of talents around him, so he was in great need of all kinds of talents. It was only later that he realized that people from the rivers and lakes like the old beggar were not suitable for entering the yamen or the military camp.

The old beggar smiled, his expression gradually became serious, he looked at Ye Xun and said, "You went to the south of the Yangtze River this time, but because my gang of beggars is getting bigger and bigger?"

The old beggar's real name was Hu Qi, and he was originally a character between good and evil, but since he was beaten by Ye Xun in the capital, he completely changed his original style, and he was more inclined to be a hero.

Ye Xun frowned. He knew that the Beggar Gang had been mentioned for a long time. It didn’t mean that the beggar gang was treated so well that the common people were willing to join. It was because of the pressure of life that they had to become beggars. So the Beggar Gang The development and growth of the country is inseparable from the local government.

Seeing that Ye Xun didn't speak, Hu Qi thought he had guessed right, so he continued: "Elder-in-law, do you know why there are more and more beggars in this prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Ye Xun had also heard about this incident, but he didn't know much about it, so he asked, "But it's related to the flood in the Lianghuai River the year before?"

Hu Qi nodded and said: "If it was just for personal reasons, the old beggar would have taken his life long ago, but the whole Nanjing Mansion is dead, and the old beggar can't kill him. If you don't come again, the old beggar will go to you. If these unconscionable dog officials are not governed, the people of Nanjing Mansion will be ruined by them."

What Hu Qi said was inconsistent with Ye Xun's question, but Ye Xun still heard the problem.

When Li Daiwen was Minister of the Ministry of Households, the imperial court had discussed the flood in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, and even said last year that additional relief money would be added. If Hu Qi said that, the money would have gone into the pockets of the officials, so It will cause the people to be displaced and finally reduced to beggars.

Yangzhou Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of Nanjing, and Nanjing, as the accompanying capital, has its own management system. Although Ye Xun is playing the banner of hunting for the sky, he can't deal with officials casually.

Nodding his head, he said: "Don't worry, old hero. Since I let you meet me, there is no reason to ignore it. It's just that I just arrived in Jiangnan, and there are many things that I can't rush. After I verify the matter, I hope the old hero will cooperate more."

Hu Qi smiled and said: "The old beggars know that the father-in-law is a man of work, don't worry, there is nothing in the south of the Yangtze River that our gang of beggars can't do."

Ye Xun also laughed, and said: "Now there is something I hope the old hero can help me with. I want to know the exact whereabouts of Long Muyun."
No matter how meticulous the intelligence work is, there will always be omissions. This is an indisputable fact.

Moreover, this Boss Long is too mysterious, so that even Jin Yiwei doesn't know much about him.

For example, Long Muyun also has a pseudonym of Yun Yuanwai, which few people know, and Long Muyun also became close friends with Nanjing Governor Yao Yizhi in the name of Yun Yuanwai.

Nanjing is not far from Yangzhou, while Ye Xun was still spying on Long Muyun, the boss Long was visiting Governor Yao's mansion.

The sun is shining brightly in the sky, but the flower hall of the Governor's Mansion is refreshing and pleasant. Many wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River will put ice cubes on the interlayer of the walls to cool down.

Although the governor is not a wealthy businessman, his enjoyment is many times higher than that of ordinary wealthy businessmen.

Yao Yizhi and Long Muyun were both sitting on rattan chairs, and there were two pretty little maids waiting beside them waving folding fans. Those who didn't know really thought that they were two old friends on the same level, but they didn't know that one was Jiangnan. One of the biggest officials is the boss of the largest salt gang in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Your Excellency, I heard that the surname Ye is about to arrive in Yangzhou. I wonder what your lord's plan is?"

"Hmph! A traitor, what can he do against me?"

As the governor of Nanjing, Yao Yizhi is really no different from the emperor of Tu. In Jiangnan, he is absolutely indistinguishable.

Moreover, this guy has a very good relationship with Han Kuang of the Donglin Party. Han Kuang was brought down by Ye Xun through Wei Zhongxian's hand. Yao Yizhi hated Wei Zhongxian, but he also hated Ye Xun.

Long Muyun rolled his eyes, and said: "Now Jiangnan Green Forest has already marked the price, 20 taels to take the eunuch's life, although the eunuch is hateful, but if something happens to him in the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that even the governor will not accept it." Is it easy to explain?"

Yao Yizhi turned his head and looked at Long Muyun with a smile that was not a smile, and said: "With Mr. Yun's ability, he should know a lot about the things on the Jiangnan Green Forest Road, right? It has nothing to do with me whether you kill the eunuch or not, but you will always Someone has to stand up and take responsibility, who does Mr. Yun think can be competent for this matter?"

How can a person who can achieve the position of governor be incompetent?He had heard about Long Muyun's actions for a long time, but he just pretended not to know.

Yao Yizhi's friendship with Long Muyun was entirely due to Yinzi's affection, and Long Muyun did not have the quack spirit of Cao Mang, so he was honored as a guest of honor.

Hearing Yao Yizhi's cryptic words, Long Muyun nodded, but said: "A few friends from the sea sent some beauties from foreign countries, can Mr. Yao help to appreciate them?"

"Haha. Appreciating beauties is really a good thing for me."
