Fengyang Mansion, outside Mengcheng.
Liu Changge and Yang Shan were galloping, and they were less than thirty miles away from Mengcheng. They could enter the city before sunset. On the originally deserted official road ahead, a person suddenly walked out and stood in the middle of the road.
Call!
Liu Changge and Yang Shan quickly pulled the reins, the horses neighed and their front hooves leaped into the air. If it weren't for their excellent riding skills and their legs tightly clamping the horse's body, Liu Changge and Yang Shan would have been thrown away.
"who is it?!"
Yang Shan was furious and pulled out his riding crop.
The visitor raised his hand and took off the curtain, revealing a resolute face, with piercing eyes, slightly open mouth, and three forehead lines on his brow. He looked at Liu Changge, grinned, and said cheerfully: "One year See you soon, have you forgotten all my brothers? Commander Liu’s history."
"Yue Sihai!"
Liu Changge quickly dismounted and strode towards Yue Sihai. He suddenly clenched his fist and smashed it towards him. Yue Sihai took half a step back and swung his fist out.
boom!
The dull voice came out, making Yang Shan's heart tremble.
Yue Sihai took a step back and looked at Liu Changge in surprise: "It seems that you haven't lost any effort these days."
Liu Changge laughed, stepped forward and punched Yue Sihai's chest, saying: "You have also made progress, and you took three steps back before leaving the capital."
"lighter."
Yue Sihai grinned, Liu Changge's strength was too great, if he continued to slap him like this, his heart would be broken.
"This is Yang Shan, our brother."
Liu Changge introduced.
Yang Shan dismounted and saluted. The guy in front of him was a powerful figure, the commander of the Security Bureau.
Yue Sihai looked at Yang Shan, praised him as "a good man", and then said to Liu Changge: "It's too ostentatious to enter the city like this. I need to leave the horses outside the city and dress up as a farmer to enter the city."
Liu Changge had no objection. If Mengcheng was really the stronghold of the White Lotus Sect, then there was no need to alert the enemy. After all, for a small city like Mengcheng, two people and four riders were extremely eye-catching.
Two farmers came and took away the horses of Liu Changge and Yang Shan. Yue Sihai took the two of them on foot for more than ten miles and rested in a dilapidated Taoist temple.
Liu Changge looked at the dilapidated Taoist temple and the statue covered with spider webs, and couldn't help but sigh: "More than thirty years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the popularity has still not recovered."
Yue Sihai nodded. The war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty had caused great damage to the Central Plains. After more than thirty years and less than three generations, it was not easy to recover, especially in such a small town, which only had more than 2,000 households.
The official roads outside the city were built during the Song Dynasty. Of course, they were not built for the people in Mengcheng, but for the "god" in Mengcheng. This "god" was Zhuang Zhou of Mengdie, the core figure of Taoism.
This dilapidated Taoist temple is dedicated to Zhuang Zhou.
"Tell me the specific situation."
Liu Changge used grass as a mat and sat down cross-legged.
Yue Sihai nodded slightly and spoke seriously: "According to Bai Lian Mo'er, Bai Lian Protector and others, it is very likely that the Buddha Mother will enter Fengyang Mansion in October and meet with the White Lotus sect bandit leaders from various places in order to form a force. Later, when investigating the source of Yin Bing’s money in the capital, it was discovered that Yang Youwen, the former magistrate of Huizhou, had fabricated tax items and collected money privately, which is very likely to be related to Yin Bing in the capital.”
"On the eve of Yang Youwen's official appointment, the White Lotus Sect decided to abolish Mengcheng, a stronghold that had been operating for many years. The Emperor and Commander Gu Shi believed that this was most likely a way for the White Lotus Sect to hide Mengcheng from being discovered by the court. Or The result of Yang Youwen’s deal with the White Lotus Sect for his own safety.”
Liu Changge listened carefully to Yue Sihai's introduction, and the missing information gradually became clear.

Yang Shan didn't speak, just sat quietly at the door, looking outside the temple door from time to time.
"After entering Mengcheng, the Security Bureau investigated Yang Youwen. This man lives a simple life and is good at charity. He is quite famous in Mengcheng. He is highly praised by the people and is a leader among the local squires."
Yue Sihai introduced.
Liu Changge frowned and said: "Being a good person or a bad person is not determined by reputation. There is not much time until October. If you can't find a breakthrough, just grab a tongue first."
Yue Sihai agreed: "I think so too, there is just the right person for you."
"who?"
Liu Changge asked.
Yue Sihai said softly: "Yang Gong."
Liu Changge remained silent, and Yue Sihai explained: "This person is Yang Youwen's distant relative and Yang Youwen's master. He was with him when he was in Huizhou. He is also in Mengcheng now. He also controls two grain stores in Mengcheng. , a medicine shop, and a brothel.”
"Borthel?"
Yang Shan's eyes lit up and he added: "Should we go to a brothel?"
Yue Sihai and Liu Changge looked at Yang Shan at the same time, with contempt in their eyes. Even if your boy has been a monk in Daning for a long time, he won't be so miserable, right?
Yang Shan saw that the two people looked at each other with a bit of lewdness, and quickly said: "Where are you thinking? I mean that the brothel is a gold-selling cave. Although Mengcheng is not big, there are some gentry and romantic people after all. Besides, the capital is full of shady soldiers. Girl, didn’t Bai Lianmoer hide in a brothel?”
"I see!"
Yue Sihai and Liu Changge nodded repeatedly.
Liu Changge thought for a while and decided to take separate actions: "Sihai, you go visit a brothel. Yang Shan and I will arrest Yang Gong."
Yue Sihai immediately said: "Yang Gong has two thugs around him. It's inappropriate for you to take action. How about we arrest Yang Gong and you go to the brothel?"
Liu Changge nodded without thinking: "No problem."
"ah?"
Yue Sihai was speechless, boss, can't you hear that these are polite words? At least you can persuade me, even once...
Damn, what a great opportunity, this mouth should be sewn shut!
East China Sea, White Water Ocean.
King Zhu Di of Yan and Zhu Quan of Ning stood by the side of the ship, looking at the vast sea, but they could no longer find any trace of the battle.
"Where King Qi drowned, take us there to see."
Zhu Di ordered.
The entourage did not dare to disobey, so they had to turn the ship around and head to the sea outside Fanggong Causeway.
Zhu Di looked at the tall Fanggong Embankment and the constantly surging sea, waved his hand, and the deck was empty.
Zhu Di said to Zhu Quan on the side: "More than 200 ships and nearly 40,000 troops were unable to fight back in front of the treasure ship. They were easily destroyed. Even the main force was reduced to the point of drowning. What do you think?" "
Zhu Quan looked a little pale and said, "There are really only three treasure ships?"
Zhu Di shook his head seriously and corrected: "It's not three treasure ships, in fact, there is only one treasure ship! The other two treasure ships did not join the battle, they just assisted and cooperated."
"How can this be!"
Zhu Quan is not a fool. No matter how powerful the ship is, it is impossible to destroy 200 warships with just one. Chen Youliang's invincible warship was defeated by Taizu with a small boat!
Zhu Di sighed and said with complicated eyes: "You know, the commander of the treasure ship is Zheng He. He was once my guard. Based on my understanding of this person, he will never lie about his military exploits. One is one, and he will never It’s two.”
After Zhu Quan heard this, he said nothing.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Zhu Shu died here, and his ashes were scattered in Baishuiyang. This was his final ending. If his ambition turns into reality, will it end beyond Zhu Shu?
Promise yes, no.
Zhu Quan picked up some fruits, threw them into the sea, and whispered softly: "Fourth brother, do you think my father will forgive seventh brother?"
Zhu Di did not answer, but walked to the center of the deck of the Dafu Ship, looked up at the blue sky, and said: "We live under the sky, so don't think about things in heaven."
Zhu Quan was silent for a long time before nodding.
The Dafu boat entered the Yangtze River estuary and headed towards Nanjing. When it passed Zhenjiang, it saw a dark crowd of people on the river bank, which was very lively.
Zhu Di was a little curious, so he ordered people to go to the shore to ask.
When Zhu Quan heard that he was salvaging the cliff stone of "痗 Crane Inscription", he immediately became excited and ordered someone to help.
Sun Juwen and Zhang Bozhi, two great scholars, were even more surprised to see the vassal king helping out. After hearing about it, the local officials in Zhenfu hurried over and brought a group of people with excellent water skills.
"The rope is already hung, pull!"
A young man floated on the river and shouted loudly.
The people on the shore shouted slogans and pulled the thick rope hey, hey, hey, and a piece of broken gravel at the bottom of the river finally broke away from the swamp and slowly floated upward.
Poof.
When the black cliff stone was revealed, Sun Juwen and Zhang Bozhi were very excited and quickly called people to be careful. When they got close to the shore, someone cleaned the cliff stone and presented it to Sun Juwen and Zhang Bozhi. Looking at the words carved on it, they were very excited. Shouted: "Yes, this is "The Crane Inscription"!"
found it!
The publication of "The Inscription of the Crane" will become a major event that shocks the literary world!
"Put it here. Quick, hurry up and hang the second piece of debris on the rope."
Sun Juwen urged loudly.
Zhu Quan admired the cliff fragments of the "Inscription of Crane" written by the "ancestor of Chinese characters" and praised: "Treasure, a wonderful book!"
Seeing that Zhang Bozhi was almost hugging the stone, Zhu Quan couldn't help but asked: "Isn't that so?"
Zhang Bozhi stroked the cliff stone and said to Zhu Quan: "This "Inscription on the Crane" is a treasure. It's a pity that the treasure has reappeared and we have to be reduced to being a teacher, teaching and educating people. Now is the time to take a look. , one less glance."
"Oh, Mr. Sun is a master of calligraphy. With such a precipitous view, why don't you study a little more and be someone else's teacher? Who can invite him?"
Zhu Quan was a little curious. He wanted to know that none of these great scholars were willing to serve as officials during the Hongwu period. They were all old, had accumulated skills, and had cultivated their character for a lifetime. How could they be willing to become other people's teachers?
Zhang Bozhi thought of the young man he met two months ago and couldn't help but sigh: "We don't know his name even if he comes. I only know that he will come after the "Inscription of the Crane" comes out. Speaking of which, it's still that young man. The idea that came out was the basis for the publication of "The Crane Inscription" today."
"This is a mysterious young master."
Zhu Quan smiled.
Sun Juwen turned around and added: "No, his seal is also strangely tight. He asked practice to come up with the seal of true knowledge. We looked through the books and couldn't find the source."
"Ahem, wait, what did you just say, what seal?"
Zhu Di almost choked on his saliva and shouted in shock.
Zhang Bozhi looked at Sun Juwen, and then said to Zhu Di: "Practice produces the seal of true knowledge."
Zhu Di took a deep breath and murmured: "No way, the emperor's private seal is to practice the seal of true knowledge..."
"Plop, plop."
"Oops, Mr. Sun and Mr. Zhang fell into the water..."
