"What about others now?" Tang Fan asked the man at Guanyi.

The buddy said: "Yang Yushi is in the office. He hasn't been out. I'm going to prepare for you to come back to be summoned. Let the younger wait here. If you see the adult coming back, come over and ask first, if the adult wants to see him, This will invite Yang Yushi to come over. "

Tang Fan nodded: "Go and invite him over."

Compared to Chen Luan, Yang Ji is a little bit disrespectful.

He was less than forty years old, but his hair was already half-white, but it was n’t tiring. Some people were born to be young and white, but because of Yang Ji ’s thin body, he added many signs of vicissitudes.

"Xiaguan Nanzhili patrolled Yu Shi Yang Ji to meet Master Zuo and Yu Shi Tang." Yang Ji salutes.

"Yang Yushi is free." Tang Fan waved his hand. "Please sit down. Saner, serve tea."

Tang Fan had no friendship with Yang Jisu, and he was not going to talk nonsense around the circle. After the two separated, they asked: "Is Yang Yushi important?"

Yang Ji sat half-fronted and arched his hand: "Xiaguan went to Kunshan County before to visit, but failed to meet with the adults, so after coming back, he heard that the adults had found the Xiaguan, so he came to see him. Fortunately, Wujiang County has not missed this time. The xiaguan knows that the adult is here to inspect Wujiang's famine and is about to report the matter to the adult. "

Tang Fan took a sip of the tea cup and nodded, "You say nothing."

Yang Jidao said: "Xiaguan was instructed to station in Suzhou. Last year, the Taihu Lake flooded, Wujiang, Wuxian and other places famined, and there were a lot of lives. After rushing to those places, Xiaguan found that the situation in Wujiang was the most serious. After investigation, it was determined that Chen Luan of Wujiang Zhixian neglected his duties and delayed disaster relief, so he was impeached. "

He said with a sigh: "The result turned out to be wrong."

Tang Fan put down the tea cup and tapped the table gently with his knuckles: "Oh? Are you wrong? What do you say?"

Yang Jidao: "Chen Luan not only did not neglect his duties, but he did his best. He has done his best. He moved all the victims to the south of the city and placed a lot of victims from Wu County. Who knows that the food allocated by the Suzhou government is basically Not enough, for this reason Chen Zhixian had to evacuate the county warehouse, and borrowed grain from the rich merchants in the city, and the xiaguan witnessed it, so he felt that he had been improperly doing impeachment impeachment. If Chen Zhixian dropped the gauze cap, That officer will be uneasy all his life, and he will ask the adult to learn from it. "

Tang Fan said aloud: "So, do you think Chen Luan has not only had trouble, but has merit?"

Yang Ji shook his head: "There is no merit, Xiaguan does not dare to judge, but Xiaguan hopes that adults can find out the truth. Xingguan court, Xiaguan is willing to give him an item name to make up for his previous mistakes."

Tang Fan smiled: "Is it wrong or not, there is no final conclusion, you as the imperial history, you should have punished imprisonment, all the bureaucrats who are corrupt and corrupt officials, all must be selfless, rectify and care for, what's wrong Does it? "

Yang Ji froze: "Adult means ... Chen Zhixian is still at fault?"

Tang Fan's eyes fell on the color of the tea soup, as if a flower was blooming there. Yang Ji couldn't wait for a long time to answer, and could not help saying: "Master? Master Tang?"

He just woke up like this: "Well? Where did he just say?"

Yang Ji: "..."

Tang Fan smiled embarrassedly: "Just came over yesterday and went to Wujiang again today. After getting tired, I lost my mind."

Yang Ji understood and said with concern: "Adults should take care of their bodies!"

Tang Fan couldn't help but yawn, and apologized: "I laughed, you continue, continue."

Yang Ji had to repeat Fang Cai ’s question again: "The meaning of adult Fang Cai, Xiaguan does not quite understand, can you please say it again?"

Tang Fan: "Well? What did I just say?"

Yang Ji: "... You have said whether Chen Zhixian is at fault or not, it has not yet been determined."

Tang Fan: "Yes, is there anything wrong with this sentence, whether he is at fault or not, he should have been judged by the court. Although I was a mission, I can only put what I have seen and heard."

Yang Ji couldn't figure out whether Tang Pan was really stupid or fake.

He has not dealt with Tang Fan, but the other party has repeatedly solved cases and is known for breaking cases.

Especially in Xianghe County, young children died in the well, and everyone thought that they had fallen into the well, or they were pushed into the well. Only Tang Fan judged from the traces of the corpse that the other party was killed and then thrown The corpse is precisely this case, which made Tang Fan's reputation even higher.

But now it seems that Tang Fan is obviously more suitable to be a criminal judge in case, rather than running here to confuse the water.

Yang Ji feels that this person is actually difficult to get along with, and can't help but belittle some contempt.

It's just that, at this moment, a dizzy and unsubstantiated mission is obviously more suitable than a smart and capable mission.

Yang Ji said with a smile: "Adult is right, but how can the adult prepare to play, can you talk to Xiaguan first? In this way, Xiaguan also follows you closely, so as not to go the wrong way."

After all, he took out a chorus from his arms and handed it over: "This is the choreography that Xiaguan has re-drafted in the past few days, and I also invite the adults to look at it."

Tang Fan took over and put it aside: "Well, let me take a look first. You will be fine at night. If it is fine, let's have a meal together at night, and we will talk on the table."

This was in line with Yang Ji's intentions, and his smile became more sincere and sincere: "Then the official was waiting for the summons in the other court."

As soon as Yang Ji was sent away, Lu Lingxi came back.

Tang Fan asked, "Why did you come back so quickly?"

Lu Lingxi smiled and said: "I dare not stay too long, and if the matter is clear, I will soon come back, I am afraid no one here will call you."

Before they left Wu Jiang, Lu Lingxi followed Tang Fan out of the city, turned his head but returned to the city, and did the thing Tang Tang explained to him before he hurried back.

Qian San'er whispered: "What is no one calling, I am not a person ?!"

Lu Lingxi said with a smile: "But you can't do it, what if Brother Tang is in danger?"

Qian San'er was angry and angry: "Who said that my skill is not good, but my skill was learned from the master of Jinyiweibei Town Fusi Zhen Fu, do you know who he is!"

Lu Lingxi: "Oh, it turns out that the appeasement of the Lord's apprentice can't pass three tricks under my hands!"

Qian San'er's heart suddenly broke.

"Okay, don't make trouble." Tang Fan picked up the Feng Shushu next to it, opened it, and a piece of paper fell lightly from the inside. Before landing, he was caught by Lu Lingxi's two fingers.

"It's a silver ticket, ten thousand two." Lu Lingxi said stupidly. Everyone like him has been nurtured since childhood. It is not a character who sees money and can make him move. "This is still the silver ticket of the Maochang. You can redeem it when you see it.

Silver tickets are easier to carry than current silver, and are less likely to be stolen. They are still necessary for giving gifts and bribes. Therefore, following the wisdom of the former Song Dynasty and after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, such silver numbers gradually became popular.

At this time, Qianzhuang was supported by big merchants, not a certain businessman, but it might be an entire chamber of commerce, such as the famous Huitong ticket in Beijing, Shanxi merchants behind, and Maochang ’s backer is said to be Yangzhou merchants. .

Each Qianzhuang has its own unique anti-counterfeiting method. The one on Lu Lingxi's hand is made of ink made of special materials. As long as it is placed in the sun, the ink on the writing font can show the difference from the general book. The color of the ink, and there are still half of the signatures on the silver ticket. At that time, it will be combined with the stub on the bank of Qianzhuang to form a signature, so that it is right.

Hearing this number, Tang Fan remembered that when he investigated the Wu'an Hou Man case, the Qingzi girl of Huanyilou was worth several thousand two. So, wouldn't his current value be worth the two Huanyilou? 'S top card?

Thinking of this, Master Tang, who was a little lacking in his brain, could not help laughing.

"Brother Tang, what are you laughing at?" Lu Lingxi asked curiously.

Tang Fan recalled the incident while laughing.

Lu Lingxi said: "Is the Wu'an Hou case, I also have the impression that I heard that there was a lot of trouble, and finally proved that there are more than one murderer who killed Zheng Cheng?"

Tang Fanshou nodded: "It is correct to say that more than one person wanted to kill Zheng Cheng and had already started. First, his brother and concubine colluded. Second, his prostitute bought a prostitute from Huanyilou to start, but After Zheng Cheng's death, it was difficult to identify what caused him to die suddenly, perhaps on both sides. It is also an injustice in the world, not only the younger brother wanted him to die, even his wife wanted him to die. The situation is really too sad. "

Lu Lingxi said excitedly: "It turns out that the case was broken by Brother Tang. I heard about the case in that year. The Wu'an Hou House originally thought that Zheng Cheng died of excessive desire. Later, an official insisted on going through layers of clues to kill both sides. The murderers were found out, and I did n’t expect that the official was you! "

This case was the first strange case worth a book that Tang encountered after he entered the official career, but it was not the case on which he became famous. Lu Lingxi did not know and was not surprised.

Tang Fan shook his head and smiled and said: "In fact, Wu Anhou is not as incompetent as you think. He may not know that his son's cause of death is strange, but he doesn't want to be involved too widely, so he wants to calm down. It was my time. Young and reckless, it is necessary to find out the case and find out what happened, and then there is the storm behind. Wuanhou House lost his son and eldest daughter-in-law because of me, and now people in their house see me directly and detour directly. I have gone up and down a few times on my career, and they have to go to their homes. "

Lu Lingxi said: "No matter what the deceased died, what he did in his life, to restore the truth, it was taken for granted. Their attitude does not mean that Brother Tang did something wrong, you are not wrong."

Tang Fan watched him deeply for a moment and nodded with a smile: "You are right, I'm not wrong."

In the other party's eyes, it seemed to contain affirmation of his attitude, recognition of his point of view, and if there was a confidant's intention, this made Lu Lingxi's heart beat faster and his mood flew instantly.

"So people like you are soft outside and hard inside, and soft outside and hard inside. The more complicated the situation, the more persecuted others. Although you seem to step back step by step, you actually have a plan in mind."

Tang Fan grinned: "Then what do you have in mind?"

Lu Lingxi didn't know what was wrong with him. Whenever the other party showed such a smile, he would be stupefied without knowing it. He wouldn't recover until Tang Fan asked again.

"Show it weakly, let the other party relax their vigilance, and then secretly do what they want to check."

Tang Fan's eyes admired that he had seen a lot of smart teenagers like Lu Lingxi, not to mention that his former brother-in-law, who was known as a child prodigy in his youth, would not be inferior to Lu Lingxi, but Lu Lingxi was valuable The reason is that he has strong learning and adaptability, and because of his travels abroad, his mind is far stronger than that of ordinary readers at home.

It's no wonder that Wyan would recommend him to help himself, which did not necessarily have the idea of ​​letting Tang Fan bring Lu Lingxi. After all, how could Wynn get the holy family, he was only an eunuch, and there were many inconveniences in acting. Building a relationship with Tang Fan will also help Lu Lingxi's future career development.

No matter what, Tang Fan did have a heart for love.

"Good," he stopped selling Guanzi. "Now it seems that Yang Ji is indeed on the side with Chen Luan. He has the intention to excuse Chen Luan from outside and inside. The official position was not high. Although Jiangnan was rich and rich, Yang Ji was not born as a rich child. It was obviously impossible for him to take out 12,000 silver to bribe me, so this silver ticket would only be borrowed by Chen Luan. Hand to me. "

Qian San'er was puzzled: "Since Yang Ji and Chen Luan are together, why do they impeach each other?"

Lu Lingxi guessed: "Maybe the two of them were previously in disagreement and now colluded together? Or maybe they want Brother Tang to speak for himself before his majesty?"

Although he is smart and has seen a lot of people in the world, after all, he is not a man in the officialdom, and he doesn't know much about the inside.

Tang Fan shook his head: "Now there is no need to guess out of thin air. At night, Qian San'er stays in Guan Yi, Yi Qing, you accompany me to a place."

Qian San'er scratched his head: "Aren't you going to eat with Yang Ji at night?"

Tang Pan glanced at him: "It's after dinner."

Lu Lingxi had already understood Tang Fan's plan, and he smiled and said, "Brother Tang is a good plan!"

Just as the night came, Tang Fan sent someone to invite Yang Ji, and then paid for it himself, so that the people in the office could buy a good table from the outside, and Yang Ji would consider it alone. In terms of Fengyue, Yang Ji has the reputation of being incorruptible, not good at money, but only loves his name. Tang Fan took care of this point. Two of the three sentences are inseparable from Yang Ji ’s devotion to the public and honesty. Ji said with all his spirits, with the help of wine, Yang Ji seemed to see himself as the savior who pulled the people out of the fire and landed in the Qusi. Without the Ming Dynasty, he would be saved as a rescuer in time.

However, Yang Ji didn't forget his task. While drinking, he couldn't help but ask Tang Fan: "I don't know if the lord has ever seen Xiaguan's letter?"

Tang Fan smiled and looked satisfied: "I have seen it and wrote it very well."

Uninformed, really when the two are talking about playing.

In fact, Yang Ji's subtext is "Have you seen the silver ticket inside the Shushu, can't you accept it? Are you satisfied with the number?"

But Tang Fan's subtext is "close, very satisfied."

I only heard Tang Fan and said: "I went to Wujiang to see it myself. Chen Zhixian did indeed perform his duties with loyalty. On the contrary, it was Hu Wenzao, the governor of Suzhou. It ’s very abominable that the amount of money and money allocated to Wu Jiang is not enough. I ’m afraid that he ca n’t get rid of his relationship. ”

Seeing him expressing his attitude, Yang Ji finally let go of his mind: "Adult is wise, Hu Zhifu only covers the sky, and Suzhou is the sole responsibility of him. My official is a little bit humble, and what I can do is limited after all. Now when adults come, they finally have With the core of the Lord in mind, the Xiaguan is willing to play with the adults, and will never let the adults fight alone. "

Tang Fan laughed: "Okay, come, drink, drink!"

Under such an atmosphere, a banquet will naturally enjoy.

Yang Ji had a moderate amount of wine and was drunk by Tang Fan one after another. Before he left, he fell down under the table.

Tang Fan staggered up to pull him: "Brother Huimin?"

Yang Ji snorted slightly, without even lifting his eyelids.

Tang Fan stretched out his hand to support the person, stumbled "accidentally", most of the weight was pressed on Yang Ji, but the other party did not hum, showing the degree of drunkenness.

Tang Fan narrowed his eyes and waited for a moment, seeing that he was indeed drunk into a mud, and then tapped the table gently.

A moment later, someone outside pushed the door in and it was Lu Lingxi and Qian San'er.

Tang Fan didn't speak, just lifted his chin, the two realized, Qian Saner helped Yang Ji up and walked out, and said in his mouth: "Senior Yang, help you go back to rest!"

Lu Lingxi came to support Tang Fan and whispered: "There is only one little man beside Yang Ji. He has to take care of Yang Ji. He certainly has no time to control us. Qian San'er will also pretend that you are still in the office. As for the people who are eyeing us, there are only two outside now, it is easy to get rid of, and we will not go through the back door and go directly out of the wall later. "

Tang Fan's lips closed, and he whispered: "... I won't turn over the wall."

Lu Lingxi squeezed his waist: "It's okay, there is me."

Tang Fan coughed: "Where do you put your hand, take it away."

Lu Lingxi said innocently: "How can I help you when I bring it, don't say too much, you are still drunk, be careful to be seen!"

He said, raising the volume a little bit: "Adult, you take it easy, be careful of your feet, oh, my lord, I'm not your Chun'er, don't touch my waist, itchy!"

Tang Fan couldn't help rolling his eyes.

That night, Tang Fan and Yang Ji were drunk, and they slept separately until late at night. It is estimated that the next day there would be no way to get up.

On the other side, two people disguised as civilians leave the official station without knowing it and go to Wujiang County.

The county gate is closed at night, and it will never be opened unless there is an emergency military situation.

Tang Fan did not have any interest in climbing the city gate. The plot would only appear in the legend of the storybook. The actual operation is too difficult and it is easy to find.

So they quietly went outside the city all the way, mixed in with the people who wanted to enter the city early, and quietly waited for the city gate to open.

Both of them are wearing coarse clothes, and they look no different from ordinary people, but their appearance and temperament will not change because of one's clothing. Standing among ordinary people, their faces will stand out, and they were yesterday. I had just visited Wujiang during the day, and I was not allowed to let the gate guards recognize myself. For this reason, Lu Lingxi also modified himself and Tang Fan ’s appearance slightly. His eyebrows were painted thicker, and his face was waxy. Add more wrinkles so that it is not too eye-catching, and no one can recognize it.

Tang Fan is very new to this kind of technique: "Is this Yi Yi?"

Lu Lingxi shook his head: "This is not to talk about Yi Rong, it's just a bit similar to a woman's makeup. The method of makeup is much smarter. In addition to changing her appearance, she can also change her hair, body shape, and even change from male to female. Or from a female to a male, that is the real unpredictable. "

Tang Fan remembered that Li Man had silently exchanged his identity with his son to escape the disaster, and remembered that Li Zilong was dressed up as Izumoko. He nodded: "It is true."

Lu Lingxi looked at Tang Fan. He changed his skin color and had a beard, but he showed a bit more charm. It is conceivable that when Tang Pan really got his beard and resumed his appearance as a white-faced scholar, he must be more handsome than he is now: "But Brother Tang, even now, you still look good."

Tang Fan glared at him: "At a young age, don't always be frivolous to elders, I'm your father!"

The two are now dressed as father and son. Tang Pan has mature temperament, plus the beard can also pretend to be a middle-aged person. No matter how disguised Lu Lingxi is. The waxy face made him look two or three years younger, like a young man who was poor and chronically malnourished.

Lu Lingxi smiled and smiled, leaning his body close to Tang Fan: "Dad, we both have a green word in the words, isn't it the fate of the previous generation?"

They were standing under the wall at this time, and there were other people on the side. In order not to attract attention, the two were very close. Tang Fan could almost feel the warm breath when he spoke.

This is a naked, naked play!

Tang Fan laughed at nothing, and did not know whether to be angry or to laugh.

He touched his beard and said seriously: "Good boy, let's just say that you can be a father and son. Naturally, it was the fate of the previous generation. The father was a little tired. You come to beat the leg for the father!"

I thought Lu Lingxi would retreat. Who knows this guy said with a smile, and really stretched out his hand, rubbing around Tang Fan's waist.

Tang Fan tapped his paw: "It's a thumping leg, not letting you rub your waist!"

Lu Lingxi blinked: "It has been standing for a long time, and my waist is sore. Rub it first. Dad, your waist is thinner than mine!"

Tang Fan simply fell for his cheeky face.

Fortunately, at this time, the city gate finally opened slowly. Tang Fan looked straight and pulled down the hat on his head.

"It's time to do the right thing."

"Yes." Lu Lingxi also withdrew his hands in an interesting way, picked up the baskets with pears on both sides of the pole, and entered the city with the two behind Tang Fan.

Entering the city, the two found a small alley, put the baskets, and went straight to the west of the city.

Going out of the west gate is the only way to Taihu Lake, but Tang Fan has always been in and out of the east gate. Chen Luan took him to inspect the victims, and he also went to the south of the city. He never approached the west of the city. Everyone's eyes and ears came here to bring Lingxi to the landing, just to personally verify whether Chen Luan was lying.

Far away, they saw the gate of the west of the city closed tightly, and soldiers were patrolling on the gate.

The time when Tang Fan was instructed to return again, Lu Lingxi had already made it clear: "The outside of the city should be the real place of resettlement of the victims. The gates are only allowed to go out, not to enter. After the disaster, the plague was rampant in order to To avoid contagion, Chen Lun ordered all those who were sick to be expelled from the city. Together with those victims, they were all placed outside. They could only eat one porridge per day. More and more people died outside. Go out and collect the corpses once. But because they are worried about the corpses getting sick, they are basically burnt. "

For the treatment of the plague, the government has always adopted a method of isolation. Tang Fan could not pick out the fault, but Chen Luan refused to take him to see the real victims ’resettlement site when he knew that he had come to Wujiang to conduct inspections. , And sent money through Yang Ji to seal his mouth, which must be another strange.

Tang Fandao: "So, it is difficult for us to go out and see?"

Lu Lingxi shook his head: "On the contrary, it's easy. We can be mixed with those who converge the body, and those who are responsible for converging the body, generally no one would want to take this errand, they will even pay some people to do it. And The soldiers guarding the city. As long as no victims want to mix into the city, they will not control it. Follow me. "

He took Tang Fan to the Zhimen Yamen, and the two entered the ear room beside where there were a few people sitting around eating tea and joking.

Lu Lingxi smiled as soon as he entered: "Several lords, let's take some errands."

One of them nibbled melon seeds: "Errand? There is only one errand, burn the corpse out of the city, a trip of thirty articles, do not do it?"

Lu Lingxi hurriedly said: "Go! Go! Thank you for your kindness!"

The other party looked at Lu Lingxi and Tang Fan, both of them stooped and bowed their heads, lowering their eyebrows and looking down. He snored with satisfaction, clapped his hands and got up, and said to his companion: "You talk, melon seeds. Do n’t eat it up, I ’ll go as soon as I go! "

Then they said to Lu Lingxi: "Come with me!"

Tang Fanlu Lingxi and the two followed him all the way to the west gate, meeting with several people who were already waiting there.

Beside them are several pallets, with firewood stacked on them, and a few sets of cloth sleeves.

The county officials said to them: "Remember, you must bring a cloth cover when dragging the body, and cover your mouth and nose with clothing. You can't directly touch the body. When you burn it, you will come back immediately and give you an hour. The gate will not be opened later. "

The few people next to it were obviously not the first to do such an errand.

After the accountant had left his account, Tang Fan and Lu Lingxi pushed one of the rickshaws and followed the others out of the city.

The city gate is a dividing line. As the city gate slowly opened, Tang Fan saw a world different from the city.

Or, **** on earth.

On the open ground outside the city, scattered or sitting or lying, all are densely packed, some with their mouths out, and some with their eyes closed, but without exception, their faces are completely numb Even if they saw Tang Fan dragging the bodies of their loved ones by their side, there was no movement at all, just glanced over them with their eyes empty, and stayed in the ethereal distance.

This is the real resettlement site for the victims. There are no doctors and no medicine. The combined number of victims in Wujiang and Wuxian counties is thousands, but there are currently more than a thousand people. It is estimated that many people have died before.

Their only hope is that a small amount of rice porridge is sent daily from the city gate by the Guanfu.

But rice porridge is not enough for everyone to eat, so under the scramble, those who are plagued or weak in physical strength will be eliminated first, and in the day-to-day pass, because of this can survive Weak hope, many victims have no desire to hit the city gate or want to leave, they can only greet death while waiting.

The problem is that if there is enough rice porridge and medicine, all this will not happen.

In other words, under the rule of Chen Luan, he did not choose to appease the disaster victims, but left him to self-death.

This is the truth that he did not want Tang Fan to know.

With more and more people dying, the traces here will be eliminated forever. Chen Luan deceived the court, Yang Ji assisted in abuse, and Hu Wenzao was silent. If Tang Fan also presented an eternal peace, No one will know what happened here in the future.

Tang Fan was deeply shocked by all this in front of him.

He had never seen a local official who was so bold and courageous. While working with Yang Ji in a play, he tried to create the illusion that he was already doing his best to rescue the disaster.
