"Execute Yang Shicong!"
"Yes! Execute him!"
"Such a corrupt official! What's the use of keeping him?"
"We must use punishment! To set the record straight!"
"Not killing this thief will not quell our indignation!"
"Your Highness must make the decision for us and other supervisors! You must never let such a vicious person go!"
The prison students who defected before the battle turned their anger into condemnation and shouted that Yang Shicong should be executed.
After all, if a person is tricked by Yang Jiachuan, it will be difficult for outsiders to know as long as the person involved does not say anything.
Now a group of people are being fooled around by this guy, just like monkeys. It is impossible to stop them. Tomorrow, the news will be spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital. This matter will also become a topic of discussion after dinner for everyone in the Imperial Academy and the Hanlin Academy. , everyone’s indignation is obvious.
Yao Ji glanced at Wu Weiye, who was leading the team to "travel" in front of the imperial city with Yang Shicong. At this time, "Iron Bone Zhengzheng" was already stimulated to the point of decadence.
If it weren't for the vassal Jin Yiwei guarding him, he might have escaped long ago.
As long as he could escape from the scene, it didn't matter even if he lost his black hat. It was enough to save his own life.
"Iron-bone Zhengzheng" may not be as greedy as "Loyal Liver, Righteousness and Courage", but the money collected is definitely more than sixty taels. This is a life-and-death line. If you cross the line, you will become a "scarecrow".
It doesn't matter even if you don't find Wu Weiye's pamphlet, you just need to treat the Wu Mansion's housekeeper well. Once you enter Jinyiwei's prison, you can tell something about anything, otherwise how could you come out alive?
At this time, Jinyiwei found another box of jewelry from the backyard, which should have belonged to the female relatives of the Yang family. Among them, the gold hairpin and jade bracelet were more eye-catching. What surprised Yaoji was that there was also a very beautiful piece inside. A pearl necklace, which is rare.
"...This is my treasure!"
A concubine who was probably less than 20 years old saw that her beloved thing was about to fall into the hands of others. In desperation, she wanted to come up and snatch the jewelry box, but was immediately controlled by the rich and powerful Jin Yiwei beside her.
"Noise as much as you want, slap your mouth!"
Yang Jinchao could not allow such a woman to be so presumptuous in front of the prince, so he immediately ordered his servants to go over and slap the shrew.
"Slow down! Don't be rude, let her come over!"
After the prince gave the order, the chamberlain who wanted to go to severely punish him stopped moving and respectfully returned to his place to wait for orders.
When the girl was brought in front of him, Yaoji asked with a smile: "Little girl, what is your surname, how old are you, and where are you from?"
Since this girl is said to be a concubine, she should be Yang Shicong's little wife.
Originally, Yaoji wanted to say "Madam", but "Madam" seemed to be the title of the principal wife, so he was not sure yet.
Calling someone "girl" may not be a title for a married woman, so just use "little lady" instead.
Hearing the prince's question, this petite girl who seemed not yet fully developed responded in a sweet voice: "My little girl's surname is Liu Mingyun, her ancestral home is Yangzhou, she is eighteen years old, and she has been married into the Yang family for four years!"
When Yaoji heard this, he felt a little disgusted. If you calculate it this way, it means that this girl was fucked by Yang Shicong when she was just fourteen years old. She is truly a "dressed beast", and she bought the famous "Yangzhou" Skinny horse".
This girl is produced in the same place as Tian Guifei, but if you compare it carefully, the quality is quite different.
But in the words of "ugly" Zhang Sizhi - "it's harmless"!
After turning on the lights at night, it’s just as fun to play!
Judging from her height, this girl is estimated to be less than 1.6 meters, but she has a graceful figure and a light body. Look at her pretty face with almond eyes and peach cheeks, plus a sweet voice, maybe she is really a rare star at night. Things!
People who buy "Yangzhou Slim Horse" do so for this purpose, otherwise they would not spend a lot of money. It's just that your Mr. Yang may not be able to bear it in the future. After all, it would be too extravagant to give a miner a "skinny horse" as standard.
When people from the Dazun Dynasty heard the name Yangzhou, their first reaction was that of a good place, and then they thought of "skinny horse".
Yao Ji’s experience was completely different. A plate of fried rice was right in his heart!
One plate after another, endless...
"How many wives has your master married? Who is your rank?"
Yaoji wants to know if the "loyal and courageous" person in the big fight will eventually die in bed, which would be great fun.
"My master has married four wives and concubines, and the little girl is the fourth!"
Polygamy and multiple concubines were perfectly normal in the Ming Dynasty. As long as they could afford to support them, they could marry twenty or thirty more.
With such a beautiful little wife sleeping with him, I wonder if Yang Shicong would usually feel weak in his waist and knees, weak in his limbs, and feel that his body has been hollowed out!
If his little wife can't spend money on him, I will spend money on him today, and then my body will be stuffed with grass and my family will move to Taicang!
"Did you and your master meet by chance, or are you destined to have another marriage?"
Yaoji didn't directly ask about "Yangzhou Skinny Horse". If Yang Shicong didn't buy this girl, it would be embarrassing for him and the girl opposite him.
Liu Yun didn't want to play any tricks at this time, but just answered truthfully: "Your Highness, my master spent three hundred taels of silver to redeem his concubine in Yangzhou!"
Imperial officials openly went to specialty stores to buy girls, just like the gangsters in the market a hundred years later. They still used money obtained from greedy money. They were very courageous.
Yaoji smiled and praised: "Well, yes, the cost of redeeming your body is almost equal to Yang Jiancheng's twenty-month salary. It's really a generous sum! The price is indeed high, but in my opinion, it is considered to be beyond human. Damn it, Yang Jiaqiu finally got the beauty back! I really don’t know that Yang Jiaqiu has been living by eating tree bark in these twenty months? No wonder he is so thick-skinned now, he really eats whatever he eats to make up for it!"
Yang Shicong was frightened and worried when he heard this, and he didn't dare to talk easily.
Not to mention anything else, he couldn't explain the money just to redeem his concubine.
"Does the little lady want to take this box of jewelry back?"
There are still women who don't like jewelry. If they forcefully sell them, I'm afraid they'll be stealing their love.
"I no longer dare to have such extravagant hopes. I just hope that Your Highness will remember that I was born in a poor family, so that I can be merciful and pardon my concubine!"
Once Yang Shicong is convicted, his family will inevitably be affected. Although Liu Yun has been in the government for many years, her mind is still very sharp. If she takes this opportunity to plead with the prince, she may still have the possibility of being pardoned.
"If this thing belongs to you, it means that Yang Shicong has taken bribes. Does the little girl feel guilty in her heart?"
Seduce this girl to become a tainted witness, so that if both people get the stolen goods, Yang Shicong can be sacrificed.
"My master redeemed my concubine, and the expense of supporting her over the years was very high. However, I boldly offered a price of ten taels of silver per night, which counts as one hundred times a year, and four thousand taels in four years. It has been compensated. Got it!"
This concubine is quite brave enough to say that the price is one thousand taels of silver a year. Such a price is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Even the chief assistant was shocked by Liu Yun's "annual use price" and felt secretly sorry for his own money.
"Haha, you are really doing what you want! Your husband is in such good health that he does it once every three days, which is really enviable to others. I wonder what the price of beautiful women is in Yangzhou?"
The prince mocked the greedy and lustful Yang Shicong in public, causing the eunuchs and guards around him to snicker.
It is really a hard job to meet the needs of four wives, and it is absolutely impossible without a good body.
I don’t know how many top-quality products the vassals from Dongchang and Jiangnan were able to buy in the end. For example, most of the famous Qinhuai Bayan were born around 1623-1624. They are all fifteen or sixteen years old now. They may have been bought by local tycoons.
If you don't have a top-notch talent like Chen Yuanyuan on hand, how can you catch a weak general like Wu Sangui?
The third brother was forced to have a fat woman weighing two hundred kilograms. The third brother would rather wipe his own neck than obey his orders~!
Liu Yun felt that the prince was so kind, so she introduced her rather politely: "I dare not hide it from your highness. At that time, the beautiful women in Yangzhou that the nobles could choose from were commonly known as 'skinny horses'. The sellers would base their selection on the woman's appearance, posture, and conversation." Prices are based on many considerations such as manners, poetry and painting, singing and dancing, etc. Generally, the price starts at a hundred taels, and if you are literate, it can go up to 200 taels. For those who are still young, under the age of fifteen, the price can go up to 300 taels. . Those who know everything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting can reach five hundred taels. If it is above this and has the appearance of overwhelming the country and the city, it is not an exaggeration to go as far as a thousand taels. Buyers are like crucian carp crossing the river, regardless of Countless!"
Skinny horses are mainly about color, followed by art. If the horse is good in both color and art, it is a rare thing, and its value will naturally double.
Even if a wealthy person buys it back and doesn't use it, just putting it there for colleagues to admire and admire will make him feel happy both physically and mentally.
Yaoji couldn't help but think of his Aunt Tian, who was also a good "skinny horse". Except for the small ball and short stature, other aspects were good.
In this era, high-ranking officials all liked the Xiaojiabi jade type. If Aunt Tian was auctioned in public, the final price would definitely reach as much as a thousand taels.
In the Great Dynasty, it was no big deal to openly talk about the "Yangzhou thin horse". From the emperor's relatives to the people of Li, everyone disliked this kind of roundworm.
Including "half-men" like eunuchs, men from different professions, different origins, and different regions have only one topic to discuss together, and that is women, especially beauties with unparalleled beauty.
What's more, there are many professional manufacturers in the production area, and hundreds of "good horses" are rolled off the production line every year. As long as you have money in your pocket, you can go to Yangzhou to buy them at any time. This is also the source of motivation for many gentry to work hard to make money.
Yao Ji is not very interested in this kind of "waterlogged eggplant", but it is still perfectly fine to buy a batch and reward the meritorious officials under his command!
Sun Chuanting was not yet fifty, but he was still in his prime. I thought that when he had "domestic needs" in his spare time, I just gave him "a horse". I wonder if it would be enough?
