Chapter 189 Who wants to kill me

Occasionally, Yang Xuan would give himself a little treat.

Get a small clay oven, put marinated mutton on the iron sticks, and roast it on top of the small clay oven.

On the side is the good wine that Yiniang sent to Lin'an to buy.

Zhang Siniang squatted by the side, sniffing the aroma, "The barbecue made by Mr. Lang is really delicious."

The girl's flattery is straightforward but innocent.

"You won't know until you eat it."

Yiniang was on the other side, muttering in a low voice: "Your Majesty hasn't done it yet, I'm so worried! Could it be... that you want to prescribe medicine?"

She thought of the medicine specially prepared for the emperor in the palace in the past, and the medical officer who came up with the prescription boasted frothyly, saying that after taking his medicine, the royal daughter would be able to ascend three thousand.

"Unfortunately Fangzi is not in my hands." Yiniang sighed.

After baking, Yang Xuan made a bunch for Zhang Siniang.

"I dare not."

Master and servant are different, this is Yiniang's teaching.What master makes food for you, are you dreaming?
"have eaten."

Yang Xuan frowned, Zhang Siniang took it, carefully bit a piece with his white teeth, and then relaxed his eyebrows and eyes.

"good to eat!"

Yi Niang stood in front of the window sill and frowned.

"Honorable!"

Cao Ying came in quietly, "What dignity?"

"Zhang Siniang will at most be the concubine of the lord in the future, and the grade should not be too high, otherwise, either she is dangerous or the lord is in danger. But the lord is too easy-going towards her."

"Are you worried that Zhang Siniang will be arrogant in the future?"

"Correct."

"If you succeed in your career, you must be in the palace to watch over those palace servants for Mr. Lang. With you watching, who would dare to coax Mr. Lang to go?"

"Too."

Cao Ying coughed dryly, "Hey! Give the old man a jar of fine wine, too."

"dream!"

"Isn't it too much for the old man to charge you some money for your solution?"

"It's what you should do to be loyal to your lord, and you still want to ask for a reward, Lao Cao, your thinking is a bit dangerous."

"woman!"

"Oh! Man!"

Wang Lao Er ran into the backyard, sniffed, and ran to the side of the small clay stove, squatting down without speaking, just watching the barbecue sizzling.

"The second child has no rules!" Yiniang was a little annoyed, "Could it be that Mr. Lang is cooking for you?"

Cao Ying coughed dryly, "In the past, an emperor sucked the festering wound for the soldiers. The soldiers were grateful and swore allegiance."

"Look at the second child, he only knows how to eat, and he is loyal to meat."

Wang Laoer got a bunch of barbecue, and then he remembered the business, "Mr., that Li Han is here."

"He has come."

Li Han entered the backyard without waiting for the notification.

"tasty."

This guy wants to squat down, but he has been practicing too hard recently, his legs are a little sore, and he can't squat down.

"Zi Tai."

"Yeah!" Yang Xuan flipped the barbecue and sprinkled some of the ingredients he had prepared, and a burst of aroma immediately rushed up and spread out in all directions.

"Today, King Wei and I walked around the city."

"Ok!"

"I have been to many places, but I have never seen the people in any place praise the officials so unanimously."

"Maybe you got it wrong?"

Without waiting for his consent, Li Han grabbed a skewer of barbecued meat, regardless of the heat, and brought a zucchini...biting a piece of meat at the end, pulling the iron stick, a skewer of barbecued meat went into his mouth.

After eating the barbecue, pick up the wine jar and drink it.

"I drank it."

"It is common for soldiers in the army to drink a bowl, and I have been like this for a few days."

This noble young man of gold and jade, his face is slightly tanned at the moment, and his hands are quite rough.If Liang Wang saw such a grandson, and heard that he drank a bowl of water with the sergeant, his eyes would pop out.

"Recently, the drills have been tough, but the soldiers are getting more and more energetic. I don't know what methods you used, and I don't want to learn. Just don't hide some things from me."

"what's up?"

"Where do you want to attack, take me with you."

"impossible!"

Yang Xuan said coldly.

"Are you worried that if something happens to me, my grandfather will become your enemy?"

Yang Xuan was silent.

Just when Li Han was about to speak, Yang Xuan said, "I've never worried about this, and I don't bother to worry about it."

If it really got to that point, so what if Yang Xuan would completely help the brothers and sisters of the imperial concubine to fight with the family of four surnames?

As for raising the banner of rebellion, King Liang led many clans to oppose and even question him.

Then clean it again!
Yang Xuan's heart was as hard as iron.

"Then what are you worried about?"

"I'm afraid you will die on the battlefield."

Li Han snatched another skewer of barbecue meat, ate it, and threw his head back into the drink.

He put down the wine jar, hiccupped, and said contentedly: "I think your luck is really good. For example, this trip to the grassland, several adventures, all depended on your luck. Follow you into battle, I want to come Lord Yan will not accept me either."

"It was only through my profound knowledge that I got through the difficulties."

"Profound?"

"of course."

"Do you know how high the sky is?"

"Damn, whoever asks that question is an idiot."

"Why?"

"Do you know how far the stars are from us?"

"I don't know."

"Then you ask how high is the sky?"

"..."

Inside the window sill, Cao Ying said calmly: "Mr. Lang has an extra helper in the clan."

Yiniang shook her head, "I'm afraid there are too many eyes."

"Li Han came here to tell Mr. Lang that he discovered something."

"What do you mean?"

"Since he entered the army for drills, the old man has made the old thief stare at him, as well as Nan He. If he wants to secretly pass on information, just find any reason to kill him."

"King Liang will blame Langjun."

"King Wei publicly killed people in Qianzhou. Some people said he was crazy... Just plant him."

"You are so poisonous."

"Award."

"What does he mean?"

"Friendship between men."

"What sympathy?"

"They have experienced life and death together, what kind of friendship do you say?"

But what Cao Ying and Yiniang didn't know was that they not only lived and died together, but also washed each other's bodies, which is stronger than the three irons.

The two young men were sitting together grilling meat and drinking. They didn't know who hooked up first. They hooked each other's shoulders and sang songs that Yiniang couldn't understand.

"It's nice to be young."

Cao Ying recalled her youthful years, "At that time, the old man was young, talented, and handsome..."

Yiniang rolled her eyes, "Come on, your appearance is worthy of being called unparalleled beauty, it's just a dream!"

Cao Ying coughed dryly, "There have been a lot of people coming to the city recently, so be careful in the backyard."

Yiniang didn't understand, "Why didn't you seal it off and not allow outsiders to enter the city?"

"Would you allow people from Zhangyu County to come to do business? Do you allow people from Lin'an to come to see their relatives? Will you give me someone on the grassland who wants to come to exchange goods? The gentleman said that it won't last long in seclusion."

"Be careful about leaking secrets."

"What secrets are you leaking? The army is practicing, who can say anything? We are doing things for the gentleman, who dares to talk? We are impartial."

"Then what did you say to worry about Li Han stealing secrets, old ghost!" Yiniang rolled her eyes.

Cao Ying said: "He often seeks out my husband for a drink, and the old man is worried that he will talk out of his way after drinking, and he will come up with some secrets."

The two of Yang Xuan drank, and Li Han wanted to go to the county school to have a look.

"I heard that you set up a county school. I wonder what the children of these criminals have learned."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Why?"

"You can't go drinking."

"Are you worried about desecrating knowledge?"

"No, I'm worried that you are full of conspiracy and deceitful desecration of the innocence of those children."

Innocence... Li Han rolled his eyes, "Let any child in this city be thrown in Chang'an, and the people of Jinwuwei will have a headache."

Taiping City is open, even foreign races in the grassland can come and trade, so from time to time you can see those foreign races riding horses and selling precious medicinal materials.Or drive the flock to trade.

Several prairie men were preparing to enter the city with a flock of sheep.

"All the weapons are thrown aside."

The sergeant had a cold face... Someone reminded him in a low voice, "Lang Jun said, treat these people with kindness, and make them... feel at home."

The sergeant squeezed out a smile, "No weapons are allowed in the city."

The leading man was called Nongha, he held the handle of the knife and shook his head, "Why not? If someone makes a move in the city, why don't you let me fight it empty-handed?"

The sergeant grinned and said, "Who dares to use a knife in the city, you don't need to wait to parry, the sergeant patrolling the city will let them know what the law is."

"What if I don't wait?" the man behind Nongha asked stubbornly.

Li Han and Wei Wang squatted aside, watching this scene.

"What makes you feel at home? Zitai is too polite to these people. Besides, most of Taiping's food is allocated from above. What is he doing with it?"

"Political achievements." King Wei gave Li Han a contemptuous look.

Li Han laughed and said: "He has already made a lot of military achievements. This is Taiping. The previous county magistrates would have pretended to be dead and wanted to leave, but Zitai's political achievements are rooted in this place, not to mention that he allowed Taiping people to live and work in peace and contentment." .”

In front, the sergeant put his hand on the hilt of the knife, but instead smiled gently, "Mingfu said, speak warm words, and hold the hilt of the knife in your hand. If you are here for business, we have something to say. If you are here to find trouble..."

Several sergeants gathered together.

Nong Ha pulled his companion, "We've all come here, and there's a lot to eat and drink along the way, can you do business with your family when you go back?"

Then everyone reluctantly put the long knife aside.

"Write a note yourself."

"Write what?"

"Whatever, as long as you remember it at home."

"Write two places."

The note was torn in two, with a symbol on one side. The sergeant spat on the half of the note. After thinking about it, he took some boiled paste out of the porcelain paste bottle next to it with his fingers and wiped it on the paper. On the paper strip, stick the paper strip on the horizontal knife.

"Bring this half of the note, you deserve it if you lose your weapon and can't find it!"

King Wei praised: "This method is good."

"I have a better way." Li Han said lightly.

"Let's go for a stroll." King Wei didn't like arguing with this person, it was boring.

The two wandered around the city unsteadily.

"Clay pot, His Majesty Chang'an agreed to use it!"

"Look at my bowl, Mr. Huang always eats this."

"Hey! Take a sip of honey water, even the queens in the palace can't drink it."

"Look! King Wei eats a bowl of pig meat every day. It's so delicious! One bite is full of oil."

Li Han glanced at King Wei, "Do you still like to eat this?"

King Wei's head was full of black lines, "This king never eats pig meat."

"Then get him!"

"Trying him will be ridiculed by Yang Xuan, saying that the king is immodest. Besides, even if the common people arrange it, there will be a lot of flesh on his body."

"Someone can arrange for you in Chang'an, and half of your big teeth were knocked out by you."

"That's not the common people."

The city is very lively. According to Yang Xuan's latest instructions, anyone who wants to do business can just do it and pay taxes according to the rules.

So those criminals transformed into businessmen, yelling, thinking that such exile can be called a blessing.

Yue Er also set up a stall and guarded it with his youngest son Yue Sanshu.

After seeing Queen Wei, Yue Er took his son to hand over.

"A smart guy."

Li Han nodded.

All the way in, I saw that Nong Ha and others had found a buyer, and the two sides were bargaining.

After some verbal disputes, the transaction was successful.

"Do you want money or what?"

Nongha shook his head, "I want salt, cloth, and grain if there is any."

"Food has to wait for the autumn harvest, and cloth and salt are available."

"it is good."

The transaction was successful, and Jiang Zhen sneered beside him with a small official.

Li Han stood behind him and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Zhen turned his head and saluted, "The Ming government ordered that you must be conscious about paying taxes. If you don't know how to pay taxes after three warnings, you will be punished severely. This person has done it three times before."

Gee!
King Wei had a headache, "He cares about everything."

"I don't know." What Li Han was more curious about was how Yang Xuan came up with these methods.

The businessman took the money, smiled and laughed, and then prepared to leave.

Next to it is the tax collection point. Several sergeants guarded two small officials who were handling tax matters.

The businessman hadn't gone far when he saw Jiang Zhen sneering.

The merchant trembled, "The villain is going to pay taxes!"

"But you went the other way!"

"The villain will go here, and go here!"

"It's late! Take it!"

The businessman was taken down and then detained at the tax point for public display.

"This person evades 35 yuan in taxes, and he will be fined [-] yuan for three times!"

What a heavy punishment!The onlookers gasped.

The businessman howled, "I know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again next time, please let me off one more time! There are old mothers and children waiting to be fed at home!"

Jiang Zhen sneered, "There are only three things. The Ming Dynasty said that three times is an opportunity and a warning. After three times, if you still have luck, you are taking risks. To deal with such people, you can only hit them with an iron fist!"

"Beautiful job!" Li Han praised: "Only in this way can people be shocked."

Wei Wang has no interest in these.

"This king is thinking about what he wants to turn Taiping into."

"Taiping is getting more and more prosperous, I'm afraid someone will stare at this place."

One rode into Taiping City.

"Where is Yang Ming's Mansion?"

"You are……"

"The old man is from Lin'an."

Liu Qing sent officials.

"Some people say that Taiping has become a place for businessmen!"

Yang Xuan was stunned, and said to Tianqu: "Who said that? The Taiping is still the Taiping of the Tang Dynasty."

The official frowned, "The old man has just entered the city, and along the way, he saw many merchants selling... The market can only open at noon, but it is not yet noon, and the city is so prosperous. Yang Mingfu, the old man cannot hide this matter for you .”

Yang Xuan simply put it badly, "The workshops in Chang'an are doing business now, so I can't do it in Taiping?"

The official shook his head, "It's not that it can't be done. This is Northern Xinjiang. Some people say that Yang Ming's mansion allows those foreign races to enter the city to do business. If those people inquire about the truth of the peace, and even buy people as eyeliners, this... is naturally inappropriate!"

He only said something wrong, and let Yang Xuan know that this person had a good impression of him.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Taiping is poor!"

The official said: "If you are poor, you have to have backbone."

The green light was blinking like crazy.

"Hai Rui is second!"

Hai Rui No. [-] can't be said, this person is just relaying some people's opinion.

"Please also tell the envoy that if Taiping follows the steps and continues the previous path, sooner or later he will be ruined. In many cases, if he does not make changes, he will just sit and wait for death."

"The old man will tell you."

"There is one more thing." Yang Xuan said: "Many times what can't be done with swords and guns can be solved with commercial means."

The messenger asked for dry food and water, and then returned.

Yang Xuan stood at the top of the city and watched more than ten riders escorting the officials away, cursing: "Damn it, why is it so difficult to do something?"

In the city, when riding out of the city, suddenly turning around is an arrow.

The arrow went straight to Yang Xuan.

Li Han stretched out his hand subconsciously.

A slap appeared beside Yang Xuan.

With just one slap, the arrow flew to nowhere.

King Wei stopped, frowned and said, "Who wants to kill you?"

Yang Xuan stretched out his hand, "A bow and arrow!"

The assassin wanted to escape when he hit his horse.

Yang Xuan stretched his bow and set an arrow, and shot him off the horse with one arrow.

"Caught alive!"

The soldiers at the city gate were furious, got on their horses and rushed out.

Yang Xuan wondered, "I don't know either."
