One after another, members of the Caobang gang were pushed out of the Caobang courtyard by the soldiers. The rescued woman looked at them with eyes filled with hatred.
If there were no soldiers blocking their way, these women would have loved to pounce on and bite these evil thieves.
Zhu, a high-ranking man in white clothes, pushed through the crowd crazily and rushed into the rescued woman. He was pulling and searching while crying loudly: "Li'er, Li'er, where are you? A Niang is here to find you." Come on, Li'er..."
Zhu's cries echoed throughout the Caobang Courtyard, and the miserable sound made everyone who heard it tremble and feel infinitely sad.
The people surrounding the Four Heroes had gathered at some unknown time, and they were pointing at the tied up Cao Gang.
The Cao Gang's reputation in Yangzhou was originally pretty good, but after what happened today, I'm afraid their reputation will be completely ruined.
Li Xuan had just walked out of the gate of the Caobang Courtyard. He looked at the people around him, frowned slightly, stopped and looked at Chang Yu: "Brother Chang, Caobang is not engaged in this kind of business every day. I think it is better. It is necessary to investigate further."
Li Xuan's eyes crossed Chang Yu's and landed on Xu Ji. His eyes turned cold and he looked back. Li Xuan continued: "This matter must be explained to the world, or in other words, Caobang must be allowed to follow this matter." Get out of the situation."
Li Xuan said the last sentence so softly that only Chang Yu standing next to him could hear it.
A trace of depression flashed in Chang Yu's eyes, but then he nodded slightly. He was so old-fashioned that he didn't even look back at Xu Ji.
Xu Ji knew that Li Xuan and Chang Yu were talking, but he did not get close to them because he knew that the King of Nanchang would never give up.
It is normal for a young and current prince to be a little naive and passionate. It is useless to say nice things to him.
This matter will eventually fall into the hands of the Governor's Mansion.
In this way, with Xu Ji's relationship with the Governor's Mansion, he has enough ability to handle everything.
After all, the imperial court needs the Caobang. Water transportation needs to be stable, and the Caobang cannot be chaotic.
"荠儿, grandma has finally found you!" A cry of ecstasy attracted everyone's attention, and then they saw Mrs. Zhu from a high family holding a figure wearing a floral plaid robe, walking quickly from the crowd. He walked out, ran to Li Xuan and Chang Yu, and said anxiously: "Two officials, my wife has a fever, I have to go to the doctor immediately, my family, my family...".z.br>
"No need to say anything, you go!" Chang Yu looked at the little girl who was held in Zhu's arms. The little girl had her back to Chang Yu and couldn't see her face clearly. She just kept shouting in a low voice: "Ah Mother, mother-in-law..."
The voice was very soft, so soft that it made people's hearts soften.
Chang Yu was a little worried and waved to the two young officials in the distance: "Come two people and take them to find the doctor together!"
"Thank you, sir!" Zhu bowed to Chang Yu with a grateful expression, and then bowed to Li Xuan.
She kept her head down throughout the whole process and didn't even look at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan calmly watched Zhu leave with her daughter in her arms. After Zhu completely disappeared from sight, Li Xuan turned to look at Chang Yu: "Sima, I think we should check here again. Maybe Are there any underground secret passage mechanisms that we don’t know about..."
At this point, Li Xuan suddenly laughed, looked at Xu Ji, and said in a low-pitched voice: "I have fought against the Tianyin bandits several times. Those people are all veterans who like to use underground alleyways. You can’t help but be on guard.”
After a slight pause, Li Xuan said with a gloomy smile: "Dig the wall, let the python intestines and river water flow in, and fill the entire underground."
"What the prince said is true. This is indeed a good idea. However, if there are other women imprisoned underground here, their safety will inevitably be endangered!" Chang Yu thought carefully and still refused Li Aya gets the proposal.
"Then just use less water and find all the secret passages." Li Xuan's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.
His eyes fell on Xu Ji. Although Xu Ji's face was very ugly, he was
And not too worried...
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came rapidly from a distance, and a captain of the Fubing School stopped his horse directly in front of Chang Yu, and then quickly turned over.
Bowing to Chang Yu, the captain of the Fubing school immediately said: "Sima, the chief historian has ordered Sima to return to the Governor's Mansion immediately and describe the case."
After saying that, a token was placed in Chang Yu's hand.
As soon as he took the token, Chang Yu couldn't help but frown. He turned his hand and found a piece of paper pulled out from under the token.
After taking a look, Chang Yu was slightly startled.
Turning around, Chang Yu looked at Li Xuan: "Your Majesty, Chang Shi asked the subordinate to go back and report the case. Why don't you go with your Majesty..."
"Isn't this inappropriate?" Li Xuan said with a look of astonishment on his face, "I am here just to have a look. Everything else was done by Chang Sima and Captain Zhou of Xinlin Mansion. , I will not be involved in the rest of the matter. In the final analysis, this is also the internal affairs of the Yangzhou Governor's Office."
Before Li Xuan finished speaking, Xu Ji's eyes had already widened when he heard all this standing not far away. He couldn't believe that Li Xuan would say such shameless words.
Today, almost all the orders in the Caobang Courtyard were made by Li Xuan, and even He Chang was taken by Li Xuan himself.
Now, he has handed over the ownership of the entire matter and all the credit for it to the Governor's Mansion.
He is selling favors from the Governor's Mansion.
It's not easy to repay such a favor. Xu Ji immediately remembered Li Xuan's cold eyes when she looked at him.
The other party is trying to kill him!
The expression on Xu Ji's face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and his eyes became cold in an instant.
Xu Ji has been in charge of the Caobang for so many years. From the time when Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, conquered Yangzhou to the present, he has experienced many ups and downs in the decades.
I don't know how many enemies and opponents have been submerged in the long river of time. A young boy wants to kill him and dream.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome." Chang Yu smiled and cupped his hands and said, "If I hadn't relied on the power of the Qianniu Guards today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have won here so easily. In any case, the Governor's Mansion should show some respect and return the favor. Please Qiu Beishen and take the brothers of Qian Niuwei back together, I will ask you to drink some wine, I hope you won’t refuse."
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded. He could exchange what he did with others, but he couldn't exchange the credit of his subordinates with others.
"This will cause trouble for Chang Shi. I'll go back and ask someone to organize the team!" Li Xuangong handed over, then turned and returned to Caobang's courtyard.
Seeing Li Xuan's back disappear into the courtyard, Chang Yu's expression turned completely gloomy.
"Brother Xu, let's go, you go too." Chang Yu glared at Xu Ji fiercely, then asked someone to pull the horse and headed directly towards the Governor's Mansion.
"Brother Chang Xian, go slow!" Xu Ji hurriedly followed, and soon he was behind Chang Yu, and after several attempts to get close to him, he whispered.
After the two of them left completely, Li Xuan, Qiu Zhenmu, and Xinlin Mansion Captain Zhou Shen walked out of the Caobang Courtyard at the same time.
"You see, today's incident is just the beginning." Looking at the backs of Chang Yu and Xu Ji in the distance, a disdainful smile appeared on Li Xuan's lips.
"Your Majesty, Cao Gang Xu Ji must be dealt with, otherwise the brothers' families in Yangzhou will be in trouble." Zhou Shen's face was solemn.
If you are in Yangzhou, you don't have to know about Dou Xuande, the governor-general of Yangzhou and the governor of Yangzhou, but you can't help but know Xu Ji, the leader of the Cao Gang.
Xu Ji's decades of prestige cannot be explained easily in just a few sentences. There are some secret things that cannot be explained even in three days and three nights.
"It doesn't matter. It's okay if this person doesn't appear here today, but if he appears here today, he will no longer pose a danger to everyone." Li Xuan spoke very confidently and glanced around. The soldiers of the Mansion said softly: "If any brothers are worried about the family, they can stay."
"The prince is joking. Since I have decided to go with the prince, I must have no intention of going back on my words.
righteous. ” Zhou Shen’s words were categorical.
But then he said with a wry smile: "Tomorrow, when my service is over, it will be impossible for me to go back. If I stay in Yangzhou, I'm afraid I can only pick up food after Caobang's ass. Instead of doing that, it's better to just follow Prince Wuzhou and his party can at least have a bright future."
"Don't worry, since Captain Shi has handed you over to me, I will not treat you badly." Li Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Tomorrow at six o'clock, you will wait for me at Shiliting. Then I will Let’s start heading south together.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhou Shen immediately handed over his hand.
These people, who were specially selected by Shi Jin to serve as officers and soldiers who were nearing the end of their service or whose prospects were bleak, would follow Li Xuan to Wuzhou. They appeared here today, firstly to let Li Xuan see their abilities, and secondly. You can get familiar with it in advance.
Neither Chang Yu nor Xu Ji could have imagined that everything in Caobang Courtyard today would be in Li Xuan's hands from beginning to end.
Do you really think he would let go so easily?
