Wuying Palace.
Lao Zhu vented for a while and calmed down.
It's just the killing intent bursting out of his eyes that makes people scared.
He turned his gaze to Yang Xuan and said, "Yang Xuan!"
"I'm here!"
"We now appoint you as the imperial envoy to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to investigate."
"In addition, we will also send a royal guard to accompany you."
"You must find out for us."
"I obey the decree!" Yang Xuan saluted.
Come on, I have to spend this year outside again... Yang Xuan thought to himself.
Facing Lao Zhu in such a state at the moment, he did not dare to refuse.
…
After coming out of Wuying Palace, Yang Xuan let out a long breath.
My whole body felt relaxed.
Just now inside, Lao Zhu's momentum was too strong.
"Go back and prepare. You will have to leave soon." Zhu Biao patted Yang Xuan on the shoulder, and then said: "Let my little sister go home today!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
…
The next day, Yang Xuan left the capital with his people.
This matter cannot be hidden.
In addition, what Yang Xuan did during this period, and what he did when he left Beijing, anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance.
So it soon reached the ears of Guo Huan, the left minister of household affairs.
At the same time, rumors also spread from the East Palace.
It was said that the prince asked Yang Xuan to work, but he took the opportunity to ask for several hundred taels of gold from the prince.
In an instant, the image of Yang Xuan's greed for money entered Guo Huan's mind.
Hubu Yamen.
Guo Huan covered his forehead, looking regretful.
"I asked my consort why he comes to me for tea every now and then. It turns out he wants money!"
"Oh my god, why didn't I see it?"
"Sir, what should we do now?" Guo Huan's confidants asked in a low voice.
"Although I didn't see the emperor's intention before, it's not too late now."
"Send a quick horse and tell the officials in western Zhejiang, Zhenjiang and other places that when the prince-in-law arrives, he must be well entertained."
"Don't neglect it."
Guo Huan said.
"I understand." He bowed his hands and went down to make arrangements.
"Yeah." Guo Huan hummed softly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
He is still very relieved when this confidant does things.
…
the other side.
Yang Xuan and others went to western Zhejiang by water. Going down the river could save a lot of time.
Last night he had promised Anqing to come back as soon as possible before the New Year.
"Uncle!" At this time, Jiang Wei walked up to Yang Xuan.
The people Lao Zhu sent this time included five hundred households, led by Jiang Wei.
"Jiang Wei, when you arrive at the place, send some of your brothers out in disguise, go deep into the people, and investigate carefully."
"Remember, you must send brothers who can speak the local accent so that no one can detect you."
Yang Xuan ordered.
"Uncle, please don't worry. The brothers in Jinyiwei are all familiar with these matters."
Jiang Wei smiled.
"Ah That's good."
Yang Xuan nodded.
In less than five days, Yang Xuan and his party arrived at Yanzhou Mansion in western Zhejiang.
I found it online, I don’t know if it’s accurate.
The magistrate of Yanzhou personally led the officials from the government office to come out to greet him. The battle was quite big.
Seeing this scene, Yang Xuan turned his head and whispered to Jiang Wei beside him: "Tell the brothers, it's time to eat, drink, and take things later. Don't be polite to these people."
"But remember one thing."
"What kind of money can you spend if you take it? What kind of money can you take or spend if you have the right to do so?"
"Yes, uncle." Jiang Wei quietly glanced at Yang Xuan from the corner of his eye, and he naturally understood what Yang Xuan meant.
I just didn't expect that the prince-in-law with thick eyebrows and big eyes could have such a dirty heart.
With a slight sigh in his heart, Jiang Yu quietly gave instructions to his brothers.
It can be clearly seen that the faces of all the Jin Yiwei are filled with joy.
They have never participated in such a mission.
"I am under the command of Zhang An, the magistrate of Yanzhou, and I have met the imperial envoy."
The magistrate of Yanzhou led his men to salute.
"Master Zhang, please get up quickly."
Yang Xuan said.
"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, I have already ordered someone to prepare some wine. I would like to ask you to give me a chance to entertain you." Zhang An said with a smile.
"Easy to say, easy to say." Yang Xuan said with a smile.
"I heard that Mr. Zhang loves the people like his own son, and the local people also praise Mr. Zhang a lot. It just so happens that I would like to know more about him."
The two of them entered the city while talking about the situation.
In order to receive Yang Xuan and his party, Zhang An hired someone to book the best restaurant in the city.
Going up to the private room upstairs, Yang Xuan smiled as he looked at the dishes on the table.
"Oh, it cost Mr. Zhang a lot of money."
"Imperial envoy, what are you talking about? Your Majesty has been tired of traveling and traveling all the way, and the lower official is only doing a little bit of the friendship of the landlord."
"Haha, Mr. Zhang really knows how to talk, but this imperial envoy is so disrespectful."
Yang Xuan smiled and sat on the main seat.
The prefect Zhang An and several confidants sat beside him.
In addition, there are several famous local squires.
Everyone was polite at first, and then began to exchange cups and cups.
But not long after it started, Zhang An said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be too boring to just drink without a beautiful woman to accompany you?"
"Oh? Master Zhang, what is this?" Yang Xuan knew what Zhang An meant, but deliberately pretended to be confused.
"Oh, I forgot. Your Majesty is your consort, so it's normal that you don't understand some things."
Zhang An patted his forehead and smiled.
Then he clapped his hands.
The next moment, the door of the private room was opened, and a group of orioles walked in.
Zhang An and others looked at Yang Xuan quietly with smiles on their faces.
Yang Xuan's reaction was as they expected.
I saw Yang Xuan staring at one of the most beautiful women, and his throat rolled.
Zhang An and others looked at each other and smiled in their hearts.
Don't look at the scenery of the consort, but in fact, he is not even allowed to go out to have fun.
"Master Zhang, these girls?" At this time, Yang Xuan gestured with his eyes.
"I'm here to introduce you to you, sir."
"These girls are the top brothels in Yanzhou Prefecture."
"And this girl's name is Zi Yuan, and she is a famous shepherd in Yanzhou Prefecture." Zhang An introduced with a smile.
"Master Zhang really took the trouble." Yang Xuan smiled, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
When Zhang An and others saw this, they were even more satisfied.
Next, everyone was very happy to have the girl as their company.
After having enough food and wine, everyone was happy.
Zhang An waved his hand and the girls all went down.
Yang Xuan showed a look of pity at the right time.
Zhang An seized the opportunity and said quickly: "Are you worried that you won't be able to see Miss Ziyuan in the future?"
Hearing this, Yang Xuan sighed.
"Alas, although I am a consort, there are some things I can only look at."
"I've already been sorry to the princess just now. If I push further, Your Majesty will not let me go."
"Master Zhang, you have also seen that your Majesty has sent a royal guard to accompany you. Aren't you just afraid that I might do something wrong to the princess?"
Zhang An quickly expressed his understanding.
Since the honey trap doesn't work, we can only change our tactics.
