Chapter 15
After running around for several days and changing three horses, Yan Yunhe and Yu Qin finally arrived at Yunzhou.
On the eve of entering Yunzhou, Yan Yunhe chose to stay at the inn for one night. It was rare that he did not dislike the environment, and he was incredibly well-behaved.
After eating sand for the third time, Yan Yunhe silently put down the bowl in his hand and started eating the candied haws he bought on the way.
Logically speaking, Yan Yunhe looks more like a man who likes to drink strong alcohol and eat meat.
However, Mr. Yan prefers snacks to wine and meat. If you don’t have the conditions to eat snacks on the way, it’s good to have candied haws.
Yu Qin sat opposite him, still having a bowl of plain noodles, but the soup of the plain noodles didn't look oily at all.
Yan Yunhe bit into the candied haws, wondering if Yu Qin had lost his sense of taste.
He can swallow such unpalatable food.
After Yu Qin finished eating the plain noodles, he looked up at the man opposite who was biting the candied haws loudly, with the same expression that was hard to explain.
I saw Yan Yunhe spitting out the core and licking the rock candy with the tip of his tongue like a child. After tasting the sweet taste of the rock candy, he took a bite.
Its canine teeth are sharp and looming, and can easily tear through dried meat and crush hard candy.
Yu Qin slowly looked away, and an inappropriate description passed through his mind, like a little wolf cub with a sweet tooth.
Little did he know that he was at Yu Qin's place, and Master Yan, who had even changed his species, took the initiative to speak: "I plan to go to Yunzhou first."
Yu Qin disagreed: "Why not go directly to Kaiping to mobilize troops to suppress the bandits?"
"Although the world is not so good now. Taiping and Huguang have many more rogue bandits due to famine, but the rogue bandits from Yunzhou appear inexplicably. "Everything is weird," Yan Yun said.
Yu Qin tapped the table with his fingertips: "What if Master Yan enters Yunzhou alone and is caught in a trap?"
Yan Yunhe touched his chin: "Isn't there Master Yu? You really can't bear to watch. Something happened to me?"
Yu Qin looked at Yan Yunhe expressionlessly, and it seemed that he really couldn't bear it.
Yan Yunhe coughed dryly: "I learned through insider information that everything is fine in Yunzhou now."
"Even the local magistrate can't do anything to them, so Master Yan is so confident?" Yu Qin felt that Yan Yun was underestimating the enemy.
Yan Yunhe said: "Foreign officials inspect the exam every three years. Now there are still three months before the inspection, and there are rogue bandits in Yunzhou. And these bandits are so vicious that they are forced to know that the county is going to send troops to the court to suppress them?"
He shook his head and laughed. He said, "If there really are such ferocious bandits, I would like to recruit them into the Shenji camp."
Yu Qin squinted and understood Yan Yunhe's subtext: "You mean that the bandits are fake, but they are wanted by the county magistrate. Merit, a big lie?"
This kind of thing is not unheard of. In order to seek merit, local officials once slaughtered hundreds of good people in a village to use them as rogue bandits.
Later, it was the surviving relatives of good people in the village who desperately went to Beijing to file a petition, and this horrifying tragedy was revealed.
Yan Yunhe denied it again: "The case in Chenzhou Village was a huge commotion back then. No one would dare to risk doing such a thing. There must be rogue bandits, but the county magistrate must also investigate carefully."
Yu Qin followed him. The train of thought goes on: "There are refugees only when there are rogue bandits. As long as the people can survive, they will not take risks. It is possible for local officials to privately increase taxes and confiscate people's fields, triggering a civil uprising. But if it is really a civil uprising, the county magistrate must Take responsibility, classify them as bandits, and report them to the court for elimination. Even if you want to investigate again later, it will be difficult to investigate. "
So Yan Yunhe likes to talk to smart people. No need to explain, the other party will naturally follow your ideas. Guess down.
Yan Yunhe nodded and said: "It's easy to go to Kaiping to mobilize troops, and it's easy to suppress bandits, but the worst situation really happened..."
Yu Qin continued: "Once the court investigates deeply, the blame will fall on you and me. "
Yan Yunhe shook the candied haws in his hand and said as if teasing a child: "Yes, there will be a prize for correct answers." Yu Qin avoided the candied haws that was almost shoved into his mouth: "
How do you plan to enter Yunzhou?
Of course we can't just go in." Yan Yunhe bit the candied haws that Yu Qin disliked and said, "Maybe Master Yu will cooperate with me."
The next day.
The postmaster who managed the post took out the horses of the two official servants, only to find that the official servant's appearance had changed drastically.
If they didn't have the badges to prove their identity, Yi Cheng wouldn't dare to hand over the horses to them.
Yu Qin got on the horse and looked at Yan Yunhe. He saw that Mr. Yan, who was still handsome yesterday, had a much whiter complexion, his facial features had become mediocre, and he also looked much richer. He looked like a wealthy businessman.
Since Yan Yunhe is proficient in the art of disguise, why would he only buy a fox mask for him to wear?
Yu Qin's face also changed, but not much. It only reduced from the original ten points to five points.
The reason given by Yan Yunhe was: "Master Yu, I also want to think about my eyes. If you become too ugly, I can't accept it."
After the two entered the city, Yan Yunhe went straight to the most luxurious inn. , and he was so wealthy that he put down his money in front of the shopkeeper and opened a Tianzi No. 1 room.
Yu Qin, who was standing next to Yan Yunhe, turned to look at him silently.
Yanyun Heruo realized something and put his arm around Yu Qin's waist: "You are a annoying little thing. You are always clamoring for a good place to live. The room has been reserved for you. You have to spend the night with me." "
Yu Qin: "..."
Since he is in Yunzhou now, Yu Qin will not risk exposing his identity by hacking him to death, so why should Yan Yun not show off?
The shopkeeper took the silver coins and was also not surprised, and greeted the two of them upstairs.
As soon as he entered the room, Yan Yunhe immediately let go and backed away, hiding as far as he could.
But the strange thing is that Yu Qin did not take action, but said in a good temper: "You are pretending to be a manly rich businessman, but you still have a next plan?"
Yan Yunhe dared to say that he just wanted to tease him on a whim. Just teasing Yu Qin.
Unexpectedly, Yu Qin took the initiative to find a reason for him. He followed the trend and said, "Well, I'm going out for a drink later. You hide in the dark. If something goes wrong, you can come in and take me away."
Yu Qinruo said . He thought: "Will they add medicine to the wine?"
Yan Yunhe scratched his cheek with his index finger: "Well... almost."
"What kind of medicine? You should prepare some antidote pills." Yu Qin looked serious, as if Yan Yan Yunhe is about to break into the dragon's pond and the tiger's den.
Yanyun Hegan smiled and said, "No need. I have deep inner strength, and those medicines won't knock me down."
It was only in the evening that Yu Qin understood what kind of wine Yan Yunhe drank and what medicines were in the wine. .
What Yunhe drank at the banquet was flower wine, and what he ate was medicine to cheer him up.
I saw the men and women in the room, Yan Yunhe hugged each other from left to right, and from time to time kissed the faces of the people next to him, playing the role of a lustful hungry ghost to the point of ecstasy.
Yu Qin looked at it indifferently, thinking that maybe it wasn't acting.
Yan Yunhe used the inside line to catch up with wealthy businessmen in the city. Since there are rogue bandits in Yunzhou, those who suffer from them must be wealthy businessmen.
Sure enough, after three drinks, Yan Yunhe asked a few tentative questions, which caused the wealthy businessmen to complain.
As he listened, Yan Yunhe realized that he heard something strange: "Are you saying that this group of bandits called the Tsing Yi Gang have been rooted in Heiyu Mountain for a long time, but they really started killing people and stealing goods half a month ago?"
The wealthy businessmen looked at each other and for some reason, they all kept their mouths shut.
Yan Yunhe looked embarrassed, indicating that he had always heard that Yunzhou's weaving was famous, and he still had several big businesses waiting for someone to supply the goods, but in Yunzhou's situation, he really didn't dare to come.
These wealthy businessmen all had weaving workshops, and they immediately became interested.
One of the wealthy businessmen couldn't help but said: "Actually, the Tsing Yi Gang may not rob your goods. You only need to pay the money. Not only will they not rob the goods, but they will also escort you for a certain distance."
Yan Yunhe was a little surprised. This Tsing Yi Gang Why does it sound so much like an escort agency?
"Brothers, please don't lie to me. I heard all about it on the way here. The county magistrates all wrote to the court, asking the court to send troops to suppress the bandits." Yan Yun said.
The wealthy businessman in white clothes patted Yan Yunhe on the shoulder: "The Qingyi Gang does like to rob goods, but they don't kill easily. But this time they provoked someone they shouldn't have provoked, and that's why they suffered this disaster."
"Who? Ah?" Yan Yunhe asked, but the wealthy businessmen refused to say anything and only coaxed Yan Yunhe to drink.
Not only did he drink, but he also hired a young lady and a waiter to keep him company, as if he was going to get Yan Yunhe down here drunk.
After Yan Yunhe inquired about it, he secretly made a gesture to ask Yu Qin to come to the rescue.
But he waited and waited until Yu Qin showed up, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Yu Qin shouldn't have left him here!
At this moment, there was a loud noise at the door of the room, and in the midst of Mr. Turtle's exclamation, the door was kicked open.
All the wealthy businessmen were shocked and looked at the visitor.
Even Yan Yunhe was shocked, not knowing what Yu Qin was doing with his murderous intent.
One of the sisters stammered: "This young master... what are you doing?"
Yu Qin's eyes roamed around the room, and finally settled on Yan Yunhe, and said meaningfully: "Catch the traitor. ”
