Chapter 477 Resolved

Chapter 477 Solved (6K+)

The carriage, which was originally quite spacious, suddenly became cramped for some reason, making it a bit suffocating.

After An Guogong said this, he became quiet, looking at the spring scenery on both sides of the road outside the carriage, he seemed to be observing the scenery seriously and seemed to be in a daze.

After some time, Ji Chongyan said again: "I will be careful." After saying this, before An Guogong could respond, Ji Chongyan's voice rang again.

"At the beginning of the May draft, Yang Yan couldn't come back in time, and the only ones who could make decisions in the Yang family were Concubine Yang who was in the same palace as Mrs. Yang in the capital. Without Yang Yan's intervention, the situation for Second Miss Yang's entry into the palace would not be very good."

Since those people in the court took a year to achieve such a result, the big clan in the court will definitely try their best to intervene in the results of the draft for this major event that is likely to affect the fate of the family.

The position that a beautiful girl gets when she first enters the palace, the palace she is assigned to, and the chance to meet the saint may be interfered with.Even if you are really in the eyes of the emperor, if you don't pay attention to the Tao, you will not be able to see the saint if you are sick or injured.

Strife in the harem is never a joke, originally it was just because of His Majesty's special reasons, the concubines in the palace had already accepted the fate of being childless and did not take too much action, but now it is not the case.

His majesty's harem will become more and more like the real harem.

"Without Yang Yan, how could Mrs. Yang and Concubine Yang be the opponents of those above the court? Whether it is the harem or the court, changes happen in a flash. If Yang Yan is not around, those pigeons will be exhausted. It is also impossible to know the trend of the capital immediately, and the situation that the second Miss Yang will face when she enters the palace will not be very good." Ji Chongyan said lightly, "What's more, it's not a good thing to put an outstanding appearance in the harem, it's more like making an enemy target."

Didn't he and Miss Jiang Si play tricks on the Yang family earlier because they knew that Yang Yan's news would not reach Jiangnan Road immediately?
Whether Yang Yan is present or not has a great relationship with the female relatives of the Yang family.

Although Yang Yan will not stay in Jiangnan Road for a long time, he will come back sooner or later, but when Yang Yan comes back, Second Miss Yang has already entered the palace for many days, above the court hall, those big families who are also sent into the palace to shoulder the burden of the family His daughter is also not easy to get along with.

The real harem can eat people, killing without blood.

"Yang Yan was in Beijing last year, so after careful calculation, he and Miss Yang have not met for more than a year and have not personally taught this daughter. The current situation is changing rapidly, and even Yang Yan himself has to change his plan at any time. If I leave Second Miss Yang behind, it will be completely different from Yang Second Miss Yang going back to Beijing directly after Yang Yan picks up some points." Ji Chongyan stopped at this point and didn't speak anymore.

These are all reasons, but as far as he is concerned, there is another most important reason that he never said: he would rather Yang Yan focus on him than he would notice Miss Jiang Si so quickly.

Yang Yan acted extremely cautiously, Gusu and Chang'an were far apart, so the message could only be delivered by other people. When he returns to Gusu this time, he will find that his method of delivering the message has been known.With Yang Yan's prudence, he would definitely not dare to travel thousands of miles to send a message without thinking of a new method.

In this case, there are only two kinds of sending letters by cronies and sending letters by flying pigeons.In view of the possibility that Feige's transmission of letters might be intercepted before, he thought that Yang Yan could only choose the method of delivering the letter by his cronies himself.

Although this method is safe, it is extremely time-consuming, so I can only make a long story short, and spread the news as soon as possible. Compared with the other news, the girl fight between Miss Jiang Si and Yang Xianzhi is not so important. What's more, that was a year ago, Yang Xianzhi didn't see Miss Jiang Si, didn't he also forget this?
And when Yang Yan returned to Beijing, Second Miss Yang had already entered the palace, and it would be inconvenient for the concubine to meet with foreign ministers. What's more, Second Miss Yang might have a more urgent opponent in the palace to deal with at that time, so how could she care about it? Those little things in the past in Jiangnan Road?
In this way, Fourth Miss Jiang is very likely to be ignored by Yang Yan.

For Yang Yan, being ignored for the time being is a good thing, and he didn't want Miss Jiang Si to appear in front of these people so soon.

Ji Chongyan and An Guogong looked at the scenery on both sides of the road in a daze, and stopped talking.

……

……

The chance encounter on the road was just a short stop, and the group arrived in Gusu just before noon.

Yang Yan lifted the curtain of the car and looked at a group of people not far ahead.

The leader is riding on a tall horse, wearing official hats, official robes, and official boots. The guards behind him are also covered in official robes. They look so solemn, and the people who pass by look uneasy. They always feel that the adults The next moment, he was about to rush out to catch the criminal, so even when passing by them, he subconsciously slowed down his steps, lest he would startle them.

Looking at it like this, it looks like he is here to find fault... Yang Yan frowned, and his eyes fell on the leader Zhuang Haoran.

As for the newly appointed Gusu county magistrate, he found someone to check before he came.The previous Gusu county magistrate belonged to him, and the current one after being sacked due to crimes cannot belong to him anymore, but from other political parties in the DPRK.

Zhuang Haoran relied on Doctor Guanglu, Wang San.

Most of Wang San's political views were at odds with him, and the Langya Wang family he was backed by was a powerful family that had survived for several generations.People from this faction are naturally more inclined to the traditional big clan, and they are very repulsive to people like him.

"My lord!" Seeing the menacing appearance of the newly appointed Gusu county magistrate, the accompanying attendant couldn't help saying, "This lord Zhuang is young and impatient. Is he planning to find fault with us?" ?”

"It's really looking for faults," Yang Yan watched Zhuang Haoran bring someone over, who was already close to him, and then said, "It's just called welcome."

The sound was so close that not only Zhuang Haoran heard it, but also the guards behind him.After all, the servant was no better than Zhuang Haoran himself, and he couldn't hide things, his face immediately changed when he heard the words.

This change of expression also confirmed Zhuang Haoran's actions.

Today, Zhuang Haoran deliberately took people out to "greet" this "Master Yang" whose every move will affect the entire Gusu City, it is not for the sake of welcome.

At this time, he was stabbed by Yang Yan as soon as they met, Zhuang Haoran didn't panic, he just sat on the horse with a smile and raised his hand to Yang Yan, saying: "I met Mr. Yang! I heard that the former Gusu county magistrate Every time I see Lord Yang, I have to deliberately dismount and salute, and sometimes I even kneel down... Unfortunately, Zhuang has some inconvenience in his legs and feet, so he doesn't dismount to salute Master Yang, and Lord Yang won't blame him!"

The legs and feet that can still ride horses are inconvenient... The attendant next to Yang Yan thought secretly after hearing this. Sure enough, the county magistrate of Zhuang threw a nail over as soon as he opened his mouth, baring his fangs.It seems that with the magistrate Zhuang on this trip to Jiangnan Road, their affairs will not be too smooth.

"Why? Master Zhuang is too worried!" Yang Yan accepted Zhuang Haoran's nails without being soft or hard, and said indifferently, "Now I am taking leave to return to my hometown, and Master Zhuang specially went out of the city to welcome him, which has already given Yang a lot of face. gone."

Of course, the old fox would not show his true colors easily, and Zhuang Haoran was not surprised by Yang Yan's calmness. If Yang Yan could be angered by his little soft nail just now, he would not be called an old fox.

However, he wanted to see how long the old fox could stay calm.Thinking in this way, Zhuang Haoran raised his hand and said softly, "Master Yang, please!"

……

Even though those few carriages looked far from being as luxurious as many rich households specially gilded and inlaid the carriages with jade, the signs on the carriages that belonged exclusively to the Yang family were still recognized by the people of Gusu at a glance.

"Someone from the Yang family is back? Who is it this time?"

In the past, the Yang family kept a low profile. Although every action could affect Gusu, they rarely revealed anything in front of people.It is like a tiger dormant in Gusu City, dozing off with eyes closed all year round, deliberately making people ignore its existence.

But this year's Yang family, or it can be said that shortly after Mr. Yang came to Beijing, the former Yang family changed their low-key style, and they were really "high-profile".For a while the firework festival burned down the other garden, for a while the accounts were thoroughly checked to find out that the Yang family, which was not in business, was so rich, for a while there were rumors about the second wife’s background, saying that Mrs. Yang murdered and set fire, and for a while there was a scene around Mrs. Yang’s side. His old servant got lost, and the Yang family ordered a reward and he died... Oh, the people in Yushui Village are still howling in front of the Yang family's mansion, and every day they pass by the Yang family's mansion, they can see white misery, It's really scary.

The Yang family's stealth this year has swept away the low-key dormancy of the previous 20 years, so that now when the people of Gusu are idle and talking, they can still say a word or two about "Yang family" from time to time. thing.

Previously, people in Yushui Village were howling in front of the Yang family's mansion. From the master to the servants of the Yang family, they even went out secretly, lest they be caught and stopped to ask about the "Yang family".

Right now, the Yang family's carriage, which they hadn't seen for a long time, ran outside, which naturally attracted the attention of the people, who stopped and watched.

"This came in from the gate of the city, right? It should have come from outside. Which master has come back?" The bean curd vendor on the street was stretching his neck to watch the bustle curiously. But he saw that the woman collecting the bill was staring at him, and said: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you quickly bring the bean curd to the guests?"

Touching his sore head, the bean curd vendor hurriedly scooped the bean curd from the barrel and poured the sauce, but he couldn't help muttering while scooping it up: "The master of the Yang family..."

"Which other master is there?" The woman who collected the bill glanced at him, pointed to a group of servants on horseback not far from the carriage, and asked, "The people from the county government will lead the way, what other master can there be?"

Of course, it is not appropriate to say that they are leading the way, and there are a few passers-by in the middle.On the contrary, when the county magistrate of Luoma was around, he was always saddled for the Yang family, like an errand boy.

But even if he wasn't leading the way, seeing that the county government officers could be dispatched, and the Yang family returned to Gusu from outside at this time, the vendor was shocked, and suddenly said: "Master Yang is back!"

When the people in Yushui Village were making troubles in the past, the manager of the Yang family said that Mr. Yang was on the way, counting the days, he should be back sooner.

Master Yang is back!The bean curd seller's eyes lit up when he came back to his senses, and he hurriedly stuffed the freshly made bean curd into his wife's hand and wanted to chase after him to watch the fun, but the mother-in-law immediately rewarded him with another burst of chestnuts. His head is on.

"What are you thinking? Master Yang, what kind of excitement can you see when you come back? In the past 20 years, when have you seen the excitement of Yang's family?" Pushing the bean curd back to the vendor and asking him to deliver it to the customers, the woman beat her Yawning lazily, he said lazily, "Master Yang is here to deal with things, I'm afraid we won't see the excitement in the future!"

Once Mr. Yang comes back, how can things be stirred up?In the final analysis, the affairs of Yushui Village are all about money!

However, there are still a few "tactful" people who don't follow to watch the excitement, and most people who have nothing to do still quickly follow.

A group of people walked to the gate of Yang's mansion in a mighty manner. The villagers of Yushui Village who were sitting cross-legged on the ground chatting and talking knew that Mr. Yang was coming back when they saw the guards rushing over. After all, they were reminded by the magistrate Zhuang last night. So, Yi immediately collected the melon seed shells on the ground, got up and began to cry.

The white mist in front of the Yang family's mansion, coupled with the screaming and howling, this situation... Even the people who came to watch the excitement felt a little bit discouraged at this time.

This howling is too ugly!Listening to the head will be big.

However, this is just the thoughts of ordinary people. Some people react calmly even in the face of such unpleasant cries, such as the county magistrate Zhuang who got off his horse, or this Lord Yang who got off the carriage.

Seeing Yang Yan get off the carriage, Zhuang Haoran said to the head of Yushui Village who was leading the crying "heartbroken" group: "Master Yang is here."

The bold and unrestrained head of Yushui Village, who was still crying a moment ago, became "tactful" in an instant, blew his nose, wiped his red eyes indiscriminately, and led the people over.

"Master Yang, Li Da Li Er in our village..."

"I've heard about this," Yang Yan looked at him and said calmly, without the imaginative overpowering or deliberate "modesty", "you say that Li Da and Li Er are helping others. , leaving behind a pair of parents, eight children, and two wives who need to be resettled."

Going straight to the point like this... The men in charge of Yushui Village were startled, but then heaved a sigh of relief.

Therefore, the village head of Yushui Village stood up immediately and said: "My lord said that Li Da and Li Er are the pillars of the family. Once they leave, his family... hey!" The head of Yushui Village shook his head and didn't say anything more. Going down, it seems that everything is in silence.

"Okay, let's calculate how much money it will cost to settle these people." Yang Yan nodded, followed the words of the village head of Yushui Village, and then took a booklet from the attendant beside him and flipped through it. "The people in Yushui Village have lived on farming for generations. Before I came here, I made a detour to the Jiangnan Road Governor's Mansion to check the taxes paid by your Yushui Village every year. The situation in the two families of Li, Da and Li is considered poor in the village. However, the official also treats them as ordinary villagers in Yushui Village. The taxes paid by the villagers of Yushui Village are exchanged for money and distributed to everyone, including the elderly, children, and women. Calculated in this way, each person's harvest in the previous year can be counted as more than six taels, and this official calculates it at seven taels. The children and elders under Li Dali's two knees are all counted at seven taels a year. Twelve people, so it is 84 two years. The Yang family will give this money!"

Zhuang Haoran squinted his eyes and looked at Yang Yan in front of him without opening his mouth: He noticed that when he just started talking about money, Yang Yan's self-proclaimed changed from me to my official unconsciously.

For most ordinary people watching the excitement, when they see adults, they will subconsciously listen carefully. This is an instinctive reaction.

And Yang Yan not only said the word "my official", but also calculated the situation of Li Da and Li Er's family in a clear and orderly manner. The people watching the excitement around him calmed down at some point, and they counted Yang Yan together. For the amount of money mentioned, the situation of Li Da and Li Er's family is considered poor in Yushui Village. This calculation has already given Li Da and Li Er great benefits.

"As long as the two elders of the Li family can receive their own money for one day, these children can also receive their own money before the woman gets married and the man marries his wife. As for the widows left by the two of them, after You can get money before you remarry." Yang Yan said, looking at the people in Yushui Village, when the faces of those who realized it changed slightly, he said again, "This is the first kind of compensation given by the Yang family. Method, if you do not agree, there is a second method."

The originally quiet crowd was no longer as quiet as before, and began to chatter.

"This won't work! Look at the two older members of the Li family who are seriously ill. This...to put it bluntly, who knows how many years they can receive it? Even if they receive it for ten years, the total of the two will be 140. Two, those children are indeed still young and can still receive money, but the money will be gone when they get married and married wives, so it’s not likely that they will stay at home and play bachelors just because of the seven taels of silver a year. Li Da and Li Er's daughter-in-law are also like children. If they want seven taels of silver, they can only stay in Li's house and not marry. This is not a matter of getting married or getting a wife. This is clearly forcing They give up the silver!"

Yang Yan's words immediately caused many people to yell "The Yang family is bullying people", but they couldn't tell exactly where the "bullying" was.

Seven to one person, according to the situation of the Li family, the Yang family's move can be regarded as "rich".Furthermore, Master Yang's reason for not giving money seems to be no problem. After passing away, getting married, remarried, or remarried, naturally you don't need to pay any more. What can your Li family say is wrong?

Could it be that if you are dissatisfied, you want to blackmail the Yang family?

Well, although many people think so in private, if they get a chance to blackmail the Yang family, they will not let it go.But it's none of your business right now, so it's natural to be fair, it's wrong to blackmail people!

For ordinary people, watching the excitement is one thing, and judging justice is another.Furthermore, this is Mr. Yang!They have no fear of a manager of the Yang family, but they are always subconsciously afraid of this talented person who has only one "three yuan in a row" in Gusu, the celebrity in front of His Majesty.

Even though this Mr. Yang looks far less scary from the outside than the vicious Yang family steward.

The villagers of Yushui Village turned pale and trembled their lips. Seeing that the people who "supported" him had already started to turn against him, after calculating it, even if the two elders of the Li family lived to be a hundred years old, the Yang family would probably It was only a few hundred taels, and it seemed that everything suddenly became bad, and some people even started to laugh at them for blackmailing people.

The head of Yushui Village subconsciously looked at Zhuang Haoran who was not far away, and then Zhuang Haoran opened his mouth and looked at Yang Yan: "Master Yang said this is the first compensation method, what about the second?"

Yang Yan looked at him, his tone indifferent but unquestionable: "1000 taels, this matter is over! What happens to the Li family has nothing to do with my Yang family!"

The onlookers immediately became excited after talking in one sentence, and they all said to the villagers of Yushui Village: "Hurry up, promise Master Yang!"

"If you follow the first method, you can only get a few hundred taels, so you might as well thank Master Yang quickly."

"That's right! Li Dali and Li Er went down the river... Hey, with this 1000 taels, the two of them can rest in peace!"

There was a lot of discussion, and Zhuang Haoran frowned slightly when he heard the discussions of the people around him. At this moment, the village chief who was pushed by several villagers of Yushui Village called out "Master". Seeing Zhuang Haoran looking towards him, Only then did the village head swallow his saliva, and asked cautiously, "You... what do you think?"

Although she was asking him, the meaning in the tone was already very obvious.

Zhuang Haoran was silent for a moment, looked at the few villagers who were looking forward to him, and said in silence, "You can do it if you think it is possible, you don't need to ask my opinion!"

With Yang Yanxian's analysis and comparison, the 1000 taels at this time was a big surprise to everyone, and even many onlookers sighed with emotion, "Master Yang is Mr. Yang, generous and refreshing".

Since everyone chose the second option, Zhuang Haoran did not stop him.

After Yang Yan handed over 1000 taels to Li Dali's parents in front of everyone, the crowd gradually dispersed.

The matter of Li Dali and Li Er's death that had been arguing for half a month was resolved within an hour after Yang Yan returned to Gusu.

After all the people around had dispersed, Zhuang Haoran swung back to the left and right, then looked at Yang Yan and sneered, "Master Yang, in your opinion, two lives are worth 1000 taels of silver?"

Yang Yan shook his head, and his expression was still calm when he spoke: "If I didn't know that Mr. Zhuang would not let it go, I still have other things to do, and I don't want to cause trouble again, so I wouldn't pay the 1000 taels."

The implication is that in his opinion, the lives of Li, Da and Li are not worth 1000 taels at all.

Zhuang Haoran's face suddenly changed when he heard the words: "You..."

But before he finished speaking, Yang Yan said again: "Why, Mr. Zhuang thinks there is something wrong with my first method?"

When he said this, his tone was calm and indifferent, and Zhuang Haoran's heart was filled with anger, but facing Yang Yan in front of him, he still took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said, "Master Yang is really calculating." ! The problem is getting bigger!"
