Hou Zhun ran in, clasped his fists and said, "City Lord, Chief Chai and Miss Chai are here." Yang Peng quickly looked outside and saw the noble Chai Yongqi and the beautiful Chai Yonghui walking quickly. As soon as Yang Peng saw the two of them, his heart moved. He felt that the person in charge of the supervision department had been chosen.
Yang Peng stood up and went to greet the two of them. After greeting each other, Yang Peng invited them to sit down, and the three of them sat down respectively. At this time, Jiang Li had already gone down to prepare tea. Yang Peng looked at the two of them and said with some emotion: "We haven't seen each other for many days!" Chai Yongqi smiled and clasped his fists and said: "I keep hearing news about my brother's power in Dingzhou. I am really happy for my brother!" Chai Yonghui mocked He said authentically: "No matter how powerful it is, what's the use? I'm just working as a slave for Zhao Song!" Chai Yongqi glared at Chai Yonghui and said angrily: "Sister, don't talk nonsense!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "My little sister is still so quick to talk!" Chai Yonghui said Her beautiful eyes drifted towards Yang Peng.
Yang Peng turned to Chai Yongqi and said: "Brother Chai Yongqi, are you here to do business this time?" When Chai Yongqi was about to speak, Chai Yonghui had already said: "We can't stay in Dingzhou any longer, so we came to Beijing to join you!" Yang Peng frowned and asked Chai Yongqi: "Are the local officials making things difficult for you again?"
Yang Peng shook his head, "This time it has nothing to do with the local government. Alas, life is really hard! The imperial court's exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are getting heavier and heavier day by day. There are no more flowers, stones, grass and trees. Those officials with the emperor's orders take the opportunity to extort money and extort money." I feel like I can't bear the extortion! The people are displaced and bandits are everywhere. In the past six months, my villa has been attacked by bandits five times. Although they were all repelled by the guards under me, there were also casualties. A lot of people. Various businesses in Dingzhou were also affected by the population decline and became increasingly depressed. So after discussing with my younger sister, I decided to move our family to my elder brother's place."
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Welcome, what can I do for you?" Chai Yongqi said: "Thank you for your concern, brother. However, my family has property in Shangjing, so there is no need to trouble my brother." Then he sighed with emotion: "Since I entered Yanyun , it feels like I’m in another country! It’s so peaceful and peaceful here, and the people all have smiles on their faces! My eldest brother is not only an invincible commander, but also a state-governor with great experience in the world! "
Yang Peng laughed. Chai Yonghui said angrily: "No matter how capable he is, it's useless! If you are loyal to Zhao Song, you will be killed sooner or later. Once you are killed, everything about Yan Yun will disappear!" Chai Yongqi did not scold his sister this time. Instead, he frowned and showed concern.
Yang Peng smiled and said: "This is absolutely impossible!" Chai Yonghui immediately lit up his beautiful eyes, pursed his lips and smiled: "I knew how could a cunning and bad person like you be loyal to Zhao Song!" Yang Pengchao She blinked and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with me!"
When Chai Yonghui heard what he said, he immediately became angry, "Are you not bad? That day you made me..." At this point, she suddenly realized that her brother was still beside her, and quickly closed her mouth, but she had already covered her charming and charming face. Yan is as noisy as a monkey's butt. Chai Yongqi looked at his sister in confusion. Chai Yonghui glared at Yang Peng fiercely, and Yang Peng laughed.
After a pause, he suppressed his smile, raised his head and glanced at Chai Yongqi, "Brother Chai Yongqi, there is something I want to ask you." Chai Yongqi quickly clasped his fists and said, "If the elder brother has any instructions, just speak up, and the younger brother will definitely do it!"
Yang Peng then told about the establishment of the Supervision Department. Chai Yongqi nodded, "Brother's consideration is very good. This is a precautionary measure! Without a strict and reasonable supervision system, the government will soon be corrupted beyond recognition!" Chai Yonghui looked at Yang Peng and said, "Why did you tell us What about these?" Then he smiled and said: "Is it possible that you want your brother to be in charge of your supervision department?" Chai Yonghui said this purely as a joke, but he didn't expect that Yang Peng actually nodded. Chai Yonghui felt incredible.
Yang Peng said to Chai Yongqi: "As my little sister said, I would like to ask my brother to be the chief officer of the Supervision Department and be responsible for the operation of the entire Supervision Department." Why did Yang Peng choose Chai Yongqi? There are three reasons: first, Chai Yongqi is quite chivalrous and dares to criticize people and things he dislikes; second, Chai Yongqi is proficient in literature and mathematics, which is very important in the process of detecting corruption; Third, Chai Yongqi has a rich family and there is absolutely no need for him to commit corruption. With the above three points, Chai Yongqi is the most suitable candidate to serve as the head of the Supervision Department.
Chai Yongqi thought for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "Since the elder brother trusts the younger brother so much, the younger brother will take on this responsibility!" Yang Peng was overjoyed, "Great!" Chai Yonghui said quickly: "What about me?" Yang Peng said, " You?" Chai Yongqi smiled and said: "My little sister is indeed a good helper. If my elder brother allows me, let me be my deputy."
Yang Peng glanced at Chai Yonghui who was eager to try, thought for a moment, and nodded. Then Yang Peng said, "Get ready. Go to Tianjing New City to find my master Lin Qing'er and report there. There are now seven ministers, a Dali Temple, and a Supervisory Yuan. Slowly improve the government. mechanism."
Yang Peng had nothing to do, so he accompanied Yang Tong, Zhao Jinxi and Yang Jiumei to Xuejia, the largest powder shop in the city, to buy rouge and gouache. The Xue family was one of the largest merchants in the entire Song Dynasty. In terms of scale and influence, it far exceeded the previous Meng family. Under the Xue family, they operate rouge and gouache, silks and fabrics, antiques, and Tongqu Bank, one of the largest banks in the world. This Xue family powder shop is located at the corner of the cross street opposite Liushou Mansion. It is a three-story tall wooden building. Its scale and momentum can be said to be second to none in the entire Kyoto.
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged woman. Although she is not young, she is dressed very delicately and has a certain charm. She is diligently introducing various newly arrived rouges and gouache to Zhao Jinxi and the other three girls. The three girls showed great interest in the various colorful and fragrant rouges and gouache in front of them. They talked with the shopkeeper from time to time and tried them on the back of their hands.
Yang Peng followed his wives and concubines, interjecting opinions from time to time. When Yang Peng expressed admiration, they always showed happy smiles. Suddenly two people came in at the door. The female guards and secret guards guarding the inside and outside of the shop immediately became alert and stared at the two people.
The two men, one tall and one short, were dressed in men's clothing, but they were obviously women pretending to be women. The tall one is obviously the owner, with picturesque features, she is also a rare beauty. Especially her figure, which is very fit and hot. She is even comparable to Han Bing, but her skin is different from that of other women raised in purdah. There is a bit of roughness that has been weathered for a long time, the skin color is like wheat, the temperament is flamboyant, and the whole body seems to smell of the sea.
When the tall woman saw many people inside and outside staring at her, she raised her eyebrows and shouted, "What are you looking at, my aunt?" The secret guards and female guards frowned and held the hilt of their swords. The woman sneered, took off the leather whip hanging from her waist, shook it open with a snap, and threw it towards the two nearest secret guards with a snap. The two secret guards were unable to dodge, and their right wrist was slapped. A terrible blood mark immediately appeared on the wrist. The severe pain made the two secret guards unable to hold the hilt of their swords.
The surrounding secret guards and female guards were shocked when they saw this, and they drew their swords and surrounded the two women. The tall woman had a sneer on her face and was not afraid at all. The short woman immediately pulled out her scimitar. There was no fear on her face, only the excitement that she was about to see blood.
"Everyone, stand down!" Yang Peng's voice suddenly came. The secret guards and female guards retreated slightly. Yang Peng walked up to the two women, looked them over, and asked: "Miss, why did you attack my men?" The woman said proudly: "My aunt is happy!"
Zhao Jinxi said angrily: "You woman is so unreasonable! Do you know that you have violated the criminal law when you hurt someone for no reason?" The woman said contemptuously: "The law is made by people, and my aunt doesn't believe in that!" Zhao Jinxi was so angry that he was speechless. To right. Yang Jiumei said angrily: "Do you know you are following me?"
The woman glanced at Yang Peng and said calmly: "I don't care who you are, even the emperor's aunt doesn't care about you!" "You..." Yang Peng smiled and said: "Since the lady hurt my people, , I can’t just let it go.” The woman immediately opened her stance, raised her eyebrows and said, “Then you all come together!”
Yang Peng laughed, waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's enough for me to deal with you all by myself!" The woman glared at Yang Peng angrily. Yang Peng took off his coat, handed it to Zhao Jinxi's hand, and made a gesture of invitation, "Let's go outside, don't damage other people's shops!" The woman was very straightforward and immediately led her followers out of the shop and walked to the street. In the middle, he turned around and shouted proudly: "Come on! My aunt wants to see if your methods are as powerful as your mouth!"
Yang Peng chuckled and prepared to go out. Zhao Jinxi was a little worried and said: "Brother, be careful!" Yang Peng smiled slightly, "It's okay. Just play with her." Then he walked out. At this time, the common people who found that there was something to watch gathered around, pointing and talking.
The woman shook off the whip, and the black whip spread out on the ground like a snake. Seeing Yang Peng's empty hands, he frowned and asked, "Where are your weapons?" Yang Peng smiled and waved his hands, "No, no, no! The sword has no eyes. If it hurts a beauty like you, it will be a big disgrace to the scenery!" There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, and Zhao Jinxi said angrily: "This guy is doing his old habits again!"
The woman thought that Yang Peng was looking down on her, so she was very angry. She snorted coldly and swung her whip towards Yang Peng. Zhao Jinxi didn't understand martial arts, so he couldn't help but change his color when he saw this scene. Yang Peng sidestepped easily. The woman frowned and quickly pulled the whip. The whip rolled towards Yang Peng from behind like a spiritual snake. Yang Peng lowered his head, and the whip failed again. The woman became a little anxious and waved the whip at full speed. She saw the black whip flying in the sky like a dragon. The intertwined net continued to cover Yang Peng, but Chen Xiao always dodged it just right. .
The woman's attack for a long time failed, and she couldn't help but become anxious. He tried several more attacks, but still had no effect. The woman pulled the whip back and said angrily: "Why are you just hiding? Attack if you can!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Then I'm going to attack, so be careful."
The woman did not dare to neglect, she held the whip across her chest with both hands and stared at Yang Peng. At this time, a man who was watching behind the woman laughed and said: "This woman's appearance is really bad, she is just too fierce! If any man marries her, why don't he get beaten by her every day?"
The woman was furious, turned around and whipped the whip at the chewing man. The man was just an ordinary person. He only saw a snake shadow flying towards him. Before he could react, he received a heavy blow on his cheek, and a bloody streak immediately appeared. appeared on his cheek. The man reacted, screamed like a slaughtering pig, covered his cheek and screamed in pain. People around him laughed and scolded him.
Yang Peng chuckled, "Are you ready? I'm about to take action." The woman quickly turned around and looked at Yang Peng, holding the whip tightly and her eyes focused. Yang Peng moved his wrists and then his neck. The woman asked impatiently: "What are you doing?"
Yang Peng smiled and said, "Pay attention!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Peng suddenly rushed towards the woman at an extremely fast speed. The woman was shocked when she saw this and quickly swung her whip. Yang Peng lowered his body, and the whip swept across Yang Peng's head. Yang Peng took advantage of the woman's inability to retaliate, and rushed out like a cheetah, hugging the woman's slender waist. The woman was shocked, and before she could take any countermeasures, Yang Peng shouted, picked her up and threw her into the air. Amidst the exclamation, the woman completely lost her balance. Yang Peng caught the woman, held her hip with his left hand, held her back with his right hand, and raised her high above his head.
The people watching burst into applause, and the woman's entourage was shocked. They wanted to step forward but did not dare. Zhao Jinxi stared at Yang Peng who was holding the woman in an annoyed manner. The woman was ashamed and angry, struggling hard, "You bastard! Put me down!"
Yang Peng deliberately teased her and deliberately threw her out. The woman screamed, but she didn't expect that he had grabbed her palm after flying not far away, and then her whole body was dragged back. The woman fell into Yang Peng's arms, and Yang Peng held her and asked teasingly: "Isn't it fun?" The frightened woman came back to her senses and found herself lying in the arms of this hateful man, and again Ashamed and angry, he quickly jumped down and slapped Yang Peng hard, "You bastard!" Then he knocked away the crowd of onlookers and ran away, and his entourage hurriedly chased after him.
Yang Peng touched the slapped cheek and muttered: "Grandma, I must have owed a lot of debts to women in my previous life, so I always get slapped by women in this life!" Zhao Jinxi, Yang Tong and Yang Jiumei came over, Zhao Jinxi didn't He said angrily: "This is what you get for teasing a woman! You deserve it!" Yang Peng quickly pointed at his cheek and pretended to be pitiful and said: "It hurts!" The three women were both funny and distressed. Yang Tong quickly came over and rubbed Yang Peng's hands. He asked gently: "Does it still hurt?" Yang Peng held Yang Tong's delicate hand and smiled: "You rubbed it, and it doesn't hurt at all!" Yang Tong smiled charmingly and rolled his eyes at Yang Peng.
At this time, the people watching dispersed one after another, talking and laughing, and many people were making fun of the unlucky guy who got whipped on the face. Yang Peng walked up to the two injured secret guards and checked their injuries. It was just skin injuries that were not serious. The two secret guards were very moved.
The woman ran back to the inn angrily, pushed open the door of a room, rushed in, and sat down. When the two strong men who were talking in the room saw this, the strongest man in the lead said angrily: "Sister, what are you crazy about?"
The woman grabbed the teapot on the table and threw it to the ground, causing it to shatter into pieces with a crash. The two men stood up, and the woman's brother shouted angrily: "Did you take the wrong medicine?" At this time, the waiter who heard the noise rushed to the door, knocked on the door and asked: "Sir, what happened?"
The woman turned her head and shouted: "Get out!" The waiter was so frightened that he muttered: "He's going crazy!" He turned around and walked away.
"What's going on?" the woman's brother turned to ask the woman's entourage. The little girl said angrily: "I was accompanying Master Qi to the makeup remover shop just now, and wanted to buy some rouge and gouache. I didn't expect that I met a rogue. Master Qi fought with him, but I didn't expect that he was good at martial arts, and Master Qi didn't get any of it. It's cheap, but I was humiliated in public!..." The woman shouted angrily: "I want you to talk nonsense! It's not a glorious thing, what is there to say!" The two men showed very angry expressions, The woman's brother asked angrily: "Who is that guy? If he touches my sister, I will never spare him!"
The woman shook her head, "I wonder who he is?" Thinking that there were many male and female guards around that person, she thought: "That person must be rich or noble!" The woman's brother raised his eyebrows, "No matter who it is, how dare you If you bully my sister, I will make sure that he dies miserably!" Then he said to the strong man next to him: "Old Liu, let's go!" The strong man responded.
At this moment, the door was pushed open and a man came in from outside. The man was tall and thin, with a slight hunchback. He was dressed in the clothes of a rich man and looked nondescript. He had a goat's beard on his chin, high cheekbones, and a pair of small eyes with a cunning look.
"Boss, you're back?" "Boss, why are you all so angry? What happened?" "Humph! Someone dared to bully my sister because of his ambition!" The goatee was startled. "Is there such a thing?" said the woman's brother, "I'm just going to look for trouble with that group of people, so you can come too!" As they said that, a few people were about to go out. Goatee quickly stopped some of them and said anxiously: "Don't be impulsive! This is Beijing. If things get serious, our identities will inevitably be exposed, and the trouble will be big!" The woman's brother glared and said: "Fart! We have never There is no one who has suffered a loss and kept silent! If we don't get the situation back, we will have no shame in the sea in the future! If you don't come and pull us down, let's go!" Then he pushed away the goatee and led his brother and sister out angrily. door.
Goatee hesitated for a moment, sighed, and hurriedly chased after him. Several people came all the way to the Xue family powder shop where the conflict occurred. The female shopkeeper was startled when she saw several fierce-looking guys coming in angrily.
The big man walked straight up to the female shopkeeper and slapped the countertop with a loud bang. Everyone was startled, stopped what they were doing, and looked at them with fearful eyes. "Let me ask you, who were the people who bullied my sister just now?" the big man asked angrily.
Only then did the female shopkeeper notice the woman following the big man. She immediately understood the intentions of these people, calmed down and said, "Actually, you can't blame the guest for this. It's really because your sister hurt someone first." , that guest would take action. Apparently he was merciful!..."
"Fart! I asked you who he is. I didn't ask you anything else. What are you talking about? Tell me quickly, who is he and where does he live?" The female shopkeeper was angry and wanted to play tricks on these rude people. Guy, "They live not far away. Go out and walk to the street to the north. Turn the first corner and the first mansion you see is where he lives."
After getting the news, the big man immediately led everyone away, looking like he was looking for revenge. The female shopkeeper looked at their backs with a sneer. Several people followed the female shopkeeper's instructions and walked onto the north street. After a while, they turned the first corner and a street immediately appeared in front of them. Different from the hustle and bustle of other streets, this place seems very quiet. There are no shops and no bustling people. Willow trees are planted on both sides of the street. It is spring weather now, and the new green willow trees are dancing in the wind; there is only one tree on the whole street. This family is the mansion in front of them with green tiles and white walls, tall doors and wide doors. Outside the door stand six strong men wearing helmets and carrying armor.
Goatee was startled, "I felt something was wrong just now, and sure enough! The female shopkeeper pointed out clearly the Liushou Mansion! Let's go, let's go!" At this moment, a voice came from behind them, "Eh? What are you doing? Are you here?" Several people turned around quickly when they heard the sound. When the woman saw the man with a careless smile not far away, she immediately became so angry that she pointed at him and shouted to her brother: "Brother, it's him!" It turned out that the person who appeared in front of them was none other than Yang Peng, his three wives, Zhongyinsha and the female guards. After the woman left, Yang Peng and the others went back to the powder shop, bought a lot of powder and gouache, and then went out to go shopping elsewhere. They had just returned home to prepare for home, so they met them here.
The big man took a step forward and shouted: "My friend, you bullied my sister, and I'm here to settle the score with you!" A secret guard shouted: "Bold!" All the secret guards and female guards immediately drew their swords and attacked them. Surrounded. The goatee was frightened, and quickly stepped forward to grab the big man's sleeve, and whispered: "We can't afford to offend this man, let's go quickly!" The big man shook him off and said angrily: "Boy, can you Don't be so cowardly?" Goatee didn't understand when he saw his boss, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
The big man raised his chin and said to Yang Peng: "I see you are also a practicing master, do you dare to go against me?" Zhao Jinxi shouted with a cold face: "You are bold and cunning, and you don't know whether to live or die. Everyone immediately stepped forward and captured them! "All the secret guards agreed in unison and took action immediately. Several big men hurriedly drew their weapons to resist. As soon as they came into contact, they felt that these people, who they regarded as just servants and thugs, were actually extremely powerful. Several people surrounded them and attacked continuously, with fast and cruel moves. The four of them were surrounded by dangers.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
