I am the king of the dead

Chapter 714 The Great Emperor Residing in Jiujiang Mansion
On the surface, the gentry are all poetic, gifted, famous, well-educated, courteous, modest and polite, and everything they do is loved and respected by the villagers. Even if the gentry go to someone's house to have a meal, the people will also bow to their prosperity. , and have honor.

But the real faces of the gentry were concealed, and they all held knives that killed people without blood.

The gambling shop is the same knife, the collusion with the local officials is the same knife, the money store is the same knife, the brothel is the same knife, and the thin horses in Boai Township are socialized and raised. Nursing homes are all about that knife.

Why is Lu Laixuan so stubborn?
Because the land is dependent on the strong person, it is protected from generation to generation, and it is infinitely beneficial, and it is a bridge leading to hereditary succession.

Yang Han took Tiqi to search the gambling house, and sure enough, as Yao Long said, this gambling house has nothing to do with Bailudong Academy.

Yang Han, as the commander of Nanzhen Fusi, handles many cases of this kind. In the city, the brokers and compradors are playing, but outside the city, it is bandits and wandering people who gather together.

How can the casino and the good people be involved? !
Yang Han launched a crackdown on gambling houses in Jiujiang Mansion for more than a month, and conducted a thorough inspection of all major gambling houses. With more and more cases, it became clearer and clearer who was behind the gambling houses.

Using gambling houses to earn people's money, and then using people's money to buy people's land, this is the way that great benevolent people collect the land under their own names.

Of course, the great benevolent people have to say it, it is the people who voluntarily want to gamble!

Willing to bet and admit defeat!Buy and leave!
But judging from the situation that Yang Han has mastered, this is definitely not the case.

There are various ways to lure the common people into gambling houses. For example, a refugee in Guijia Village became rich overnight; for example, a bachelor in Shangwu Village won a beautiful lady;

Not to mention that the common people and farmers were confused, even Yang Han felt confused when he saw it.

On September [-]th in the eighth year of Jingtai, the days are getting shorter and shorter. It has entered late autumn, and the weather is getting more and more depressed. Autumn is originally a harvest season, but Yang Han and Yao Long can still see people selling their sons and daughters .

When autumn comes, it’s time for the farmers to repay the green rice money. Farming can’t pay back the high-interest green rice money, so we have to find a way, otherwise the debt collectors will just grab it.

Selling children and daughters is obviously the only way.

People who can afford to buy children are mostly wealthy families. Children who follow such a family can at least survive, instead of being exchanged and eaten in the event of a famine.

If it is sold, the children can at least survive.

Therefore, parents who sell their children and daughters are grateful to the buyer, nodding and bowing incessantly.

Yao Long could only lament how difficult the people's livelihood was, while Yang Han waited at the south gate for the Ming Dynasty's Beijing Army ships to come to Jiujiang Mansion.

The evening drum sounded, and Jiujiang Mansion started a curfew. Within a quarter of an hour, the streets were quiet, and the autumn wind was blowing the fallen leaves, making it more gloomy and desolate.

Soldiers stood at the entrances of the important streets, checking the pedestrians who had not returned home. The lights were just on, and red or white paper lanterns were hung in front of some houses at the end of the street. The lights were extremely dim, and they swayed under the eaves. .

Under the dim light, you can see large, block-printed notices pasted on the walls of every street corner.

On the lanes and roads, there are often watchmen carrying small dim lanterns, beating on broken gongs or clappers, singing long chants, and disappearing into the darkness.

The big ship pierced through the smoggy Yangtze River, and slowly stopped under Jiujiang Port. The neatly lined up Ming Jing army began to disembark in an orderly manner, and Yang Han hurried forward.

He rode forward, and the more he walked, the more frightened he was.

Because of the smog, he didn't see the tooth flag, and he didn't know who was in command of the Beijing army that came this time, but it was approaching, and he saw the big banner of the dragon flag.

The person who came seems to be His Majesty?
Yang Han hurried to go, more and more sure, because the first to disembark was Daming's Tiqi, with flags waving.

He never expected that His Majesty would come.

After waiting for the boat to stop, Zhu Qiyu slowly disembarked and saw Yang Han who was waiting.

"Meet Your Majesty, long live your majesty, long live, long live!" Yang Han bowed three times and kowtowed five times.

In Yang Han's view, it was because of his ineffectiveness that he let His Majesty come here in person, which is really a dereliction of duty.

And Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Commander Yang doesn't need to be too polite, and I haven't seen him for two months. Why should he be so special, no courtesy, no courtesy."

Zhu Qiyu stomped his feet vigorously, feeling very down-to-earth, the boat was bumpy, and on the way from Songjiang Mansion to Jiujiang Mansion, Zhu Qiyu was a little seasick when he was bumped by the boat.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Han just stood up, a little strange, how could His Majesty should greet him, and he suddenly arrived at Jiujiang Mansion, and he was really caught off guard.

Even though Yang Han is the emperor Tiqi and the commander of Nanya Town Fusi, he is still not at the core of power. He doesn't understand some rules, so he has such doubts.

The Ming emperor had several taboos, the first being Jinan Mansion, and the second being water.

After King Xiaoming sank into the river, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty traveled by boat, but it was irregular, and the boat was not fixed. Notifications were made when he boarded the boat, and local officials were notified when he arrived. Few people knew about it.

You can't post a list to announce that the emperor will take a boat today. If you want to assassinate the king, hurry up and send water monkeys to chisel the boat!
It is very difficult to assassinate the king. After all, Zhu Qiyu's whereabouts are uncertain, and there are three thousand well-trained Tiqi around him to take care of security.

Not only Yang Han was surprised, but also the accompanying Beijing army. They saw the big banner of the dragon flag, and only then did they know that there was His Majesty on the boat that came together!
"Go to Bailudong Academy first and bring Lu Laixuan to me. I want to live in his Gantang Garden." Zhu Qiyu stomped his feet and said to Yang Han.

The Jinxi Lu family has a garden at the south gate of Jiujiang Mansion, called Gantang Garden, which is located by the Gantang Lake, and the entire Gantang Lake is the back garden of the Lu family.

There is a dam in the lake, named Ligong Dike, which divides the entire Gantang Lake into two.

This Bieyuan was formerly known as Jingxing Academy, which was destroyed by the war in the early Yuan Dynasty, and then the Jinxi Lu family built it into their own Bieyuan.

Speaking of Gantang Lake, Jingxing Academy and Li Gongdi, one person has to be mentioned, Li Bo, the governor of Jiangzhou.

In the first year of Tang Changqing, Li Bo offended Du Yuanying, the prime minister of the dynasty, and was demoted to Jiangzhou as the governor.

At that time, natural disasters were frequent in Jiujiang Prefecture, and the lives of the people were extremely difficult. Li Bo appealed to the court to exempt farmers from taxes owed for many years.

At that time, it was also called Jiujiang Mansion in Jiangzhou. The water area of ​​Nanmen Lake was vast, and it was extremely inconvenient for pedestrians to pass by.

As the governor, Li Bo led people to set up Doumen, store water potential for the benefit of the people, and finally healed the silted lake into a picturesque scene.

And this Jingxing Academy was established by Li Bo back then.

Jing Xing sees [xiàn], the yellow dragon descends, the phoenix arrives, the Liquan spring emerges, the Jiagu grows, the river is not overflowing, and the sea is not surging.

On the Ligong Embankment that runs through the entire Gantang Lake, there are phoenix trees planted. In late autumn, the branches are still green and covered with shade. Belt, picturesque.

Zhu Qiyu's car drove slowly towards Gantang Bieyuan.

At this time, the Lu family's children in Gantang Bieyuan didn't know what happened, but they were surrounded by Tiqi and the Beijing army.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at the other garden full of pear trees, and said, "Confiscate the house, clean it up, I will stay here tonight."

Zhu Qiyu was like a master in a cottage, and the Tiqis rushed into Gantang Bieyuan like bandits, and they were flying like dogs and dogs for a while.

After more than half an hour at most, the emperor stretched himself, got out of the car and drove towards the other garden.

After Xing'an washed the pears, he handed them to His Majesty, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the Jinxi honey pears are tender, crispy, refreshing and free of dross. Your Majesty's time is right, these honey pears are just picked, and they are all plump. "

Zhu Qiyu picked up one and bit it hard, nodded and said: "It's delicious, send some to Concubine Ran Ning and Gao Jieyu, let's taste it together, and send some to Yu Shaobao too."

"Yes." Xing'an bowed his head and took orders.

Zhu Qiyu strolled in this Gantang garden, and said with a smile: "My uncle Gantang, don't cut it, don't cut it, it's what Zhao Bo said. This pear is really sweet."

The three sentences that Zhu Qiyu read are "Zhaonan·Gantang" in the Book of Songs, comparing Gantang to Zhao Bo of the Western Zhou Dynasty who "benefits the government to the people".

In order to commemorate Li Bo, the governor of Jiangzhou, who "benefits the government to the people", Nanmen Lake was renamed Gantang Lake, which has continued from the Tang Dynasty to the present.

The Gantang Bieyuan is full of Tang pears, and Zhu Qiyu is eating this now, which is the Jinxi honey pear.

Jiangxi Zuo Buzheng Yao Long, who got the news, rushed to the Gantang Bieyuan with the fastest speed. When he saw His Majesty, he knelt down, bowed three times and kowtowed five times, and said loudly: "Greetings, Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live! , I see that the driver came late and was not able to meet him far away, so I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

Not everyone is Xu Youzhen, who can be forgiven by His Majesty if he misses her for two months.

Of course, Xu Youzhen took out a memorial to the Hundred Bridges of the Yangtze River, which was also the reason why His Majesty chose to forgive him.

Zhu Qiyu said cheerfully: "Uncle Yao is free of courtesy. I came in a hurry. Those who don't know are innocent. Come, eat a pear. It's juicy and sweet."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Yao Longchang heaved a sigh of relief. His Majesty was very polite to him, which was far from the rumored moody and difficult to get along with.

Yao Long is holding a pear, it's not good to eat it, and it's not good not to eat it.

Eating is a disrespect, and not eating is disobeying the emperor's order. In the education he received, he was not taught how to eat gracefully in front of His Majesty.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Yao Fangbo, don't be nervous, this is not in Fengtian Temple, it's right in private, don't be too restrained."

"Zhao Bo has benefited the people, and has been commemorated by Gantang for more than [-] years. Li Bo, the governor of Jiangzhou, has benefited the people, and has been commemorated by the people with Li Gongti for more than [-] years."

"Yao Fangbo also benefited the people. I thought that in the future, the common people would set up a monument for Yao Fangbo and commemorate him for a long time."

The good reputation has been taken by Yao Long, so what about the bad reputation?

Zhu Qiyu continued: "I have heard that there are eighteen clans in Jiangxi. Today I want to see how tough these eighteen clans are."

"The clan is powerful, and Yao Fangbo cannot support himself alone, so he can calm down the herdsmen and teach the people that I will do the clan's affairs."

The division of labor is clear, since Yao Long is good at managing politics, he should manage the government well, and he will do the work of eating the rich.

Zhu Qiyu has arrived, so the infamy cannot be borne by Yao Long himself.

"Your Majesty..." Yao Long said slightly choked up.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Okay, eat pears, eat pears, these pears are good, I hope that the people of Ming Dynasty can eat this sweet and delicious pear."

Yao Long took a hard bite, it was really sweet.

Yang Han led hundreds of Tiqi, all the way to the White Deer Cave Academy.

If His Majesty wants to take someone, he must use the fastest speed to bring the opponent in front of His Majesty.

His Majesty has already issued imperial edicts twice, and again and again, but not again and again. Now that His Majesty has arrived at Jiujiang Mansion, there is no room for mediation.

Is Your Majesty out to grab it?

Yes, no.

There are three gambling houses in Qingshan Town, and there are so many gambling houses in Jiangxi. The Ming Dynasty has a law that clearly prohibits gambling. Although the government has relaxed the law long ago, it is also clearly stipulated.

It is true that Yang Han did not find out the relationship with Lu Laixuan from the gambling shop in Qingshan Town, but this worldly matter, if you want to be unknown to others, you can't escape unless you do nothing.

As long as there are clues left, Yang Han, as a Tiqi, can always follow the clues and check the Jinxi Lu family to the bottom.

In fact, Yang Han also thought about planting the blame, which would be easier, but Yang Han considered that His Majesty did not even agree with the fishing law enforcement, so he investigated deeply, and finally collected all the criminal evidence of the Jinxi Lu family.

Of the eighteen families in Jiangxi, any one of them violated the law of the Ming Dynasty. His Majesty's action is convincing and justified.

On the surface, Lu Laixuan's case involved him running a gambling house, but in fact he openly disobeyed the emperor's orders.

Yang Han and his cavalry surrounded the White Deer Cave Academy. After making sure that no mouse would be let go, they started heading towards the White Deer Cave Academy.

Hearing the news, Lu Laixuan came out of the courtyard of the third group and said beamingly, "Commander Yang! What kind of wind brought you here?"

"In the morning, I heard magpies calling on the branches. It turned out that a nobleman is coming, please come in."

"Brothers, please have a sip of tea to moisten your throat."

Lu Laixuan held a stack of bills in his hand, which were acceptance bills issued by Baoyuan Bureau, with a face value of 100 taels. This thick stack contained at least [-] taels of silver.

This is enough to invite Wang Zhen to drink ten times during the orthodox years.

Yang Han looked at Lu Laixuan approaching and said: "I won't drink tea, Master Lu Shan, Your Majesty has arrived at Gantang Bieyuan."

"Gantang Bieyuan? Gantang Bieyuan!" Lu Laixuan suddenly exclaimed.

The point of this sentence is not Gantang Bieyuan, but His Majesty's residence in Jiujiang Mansion!
Lu Laixuan never expected that he had waited for more than a month for His Majesty to come.

"This, this, this..." Lu Laixuan was obviously panicked, he had heard that His Majesty was tough, but he never expected His Majesty to be so tough and tough.

Yang Han raised his hand and said loudly, "Take them all away!"

When Lu Laixuan heard this, he finally asked in horror: "Commander Yang! How can you arrest people so easily!"

"Is it all right?" Yang Han shook his head and stopped rapping with Lu Laixuan.

The peaceful and quiet Bailudong Academy can be described as a mess.

The horses that Ti rode were drinking water by the Guandao Stream, which broke the peace here. Those sallow and thin children hid in the bushes far away, watching this scene in surprise.

Yang Han was holding the Xiuchun knife, and smiled at the children. The children screamed in horror, scattered like birds and beasts, and ran away without a trace.

"Am I that scary?" Yang Han's smile became a little awkward, and he asked the tortured Qianhu beside him in confusion.

Qianhu said confidently, "Yes."

Yang Han affixed seals on several groups of courtyards with three entrances and exits in Bailudong Academy, and then escorted the criminal to Jiujiang Mansion.

Lu Laixuan sat in the prison car with a dazed expression on his face, letting the bumpy prison car shake his old body.

He saw that the Tiqi brought by Yang Han were all carrying bird guns, flintlock pistols, hook sickle guns, swarming bees and tiger squatting cannons. This Tiqi had made up his mind, but if there was resistance, he would shoot and kill.

"Can I see Your Majesty?" Lu Laixuan stared blankly at Tiqi escorting everyone from the Bailudong Academy, His Majesty's ruthlessness really lived up to its reputation.

Yang Han sneered and asked, "Who are you?"

　Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
