Chapter 205 Ghosts and People

The warehouse was in the city, so the group turned back again.

"Check it out carefully." Wang Yugui told his master checkers.

Yang Xuan didn't come in, but talked to Nan He outside.

"This time I met the rangers of the Vasie tribe. They lacked fighting spirit and were easily driven away by our cavalry. Sir, after several attacks, the Vasie tribe is a bit scattered."

"One goes up and down the other. I originally wanted to wait until the autumn harvest to make a contribution, and then create momentum." Yang Xuan smiled happily, "I didn't expect Chang'an to arrange people to find fault. At this moment, I just want to hold the queen's hand and thank you. "

Nan He had a strange expression, Yang Xuan asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Nan He said seriously: "Mr. Lang, don't hold the hand of a married woman."

The two looked at each other, both laughing.

Is the false emperor's woman also worthy of holding the man's hand?Nan He thought of Yiniang, and fantasized about the scene of Yiniang beating the puppet imperial woman with a small leather whip.

Hey!
The picture is too beautiful.

Picturesque!
Auditing is lengthy.

Yang Xuan waited patiently.

Wang Yugui is even more so.

Shang Huyun took the opportunity to come out and asked after finding Yang Xuan: "Is there something wrong with Yang Ming's mansion?"

"There's nothing wrong with it."

"Your Majesty is watching you." Shang Huyun nodded.

This is the code.

"Hehe!" Yang Xuan just laughed.

"Speak up if you have any questions." Shang Huyun didn't care about his doubts about his identity.

Turning around, he said to Yan Hui: "Before departure, someone from the palace said that great military exploits are one thing, and military exploits are not equal to the ability to be an official. This trip depends on Yang Xuan's quality."

Yan Hui said: "Being an official requires a lot of proficiency, observing words and demeanor, pretending to be false, flattering the superior...he is too young."

"To be an official is to be a human being." Shang Huyun said.

On the third day, a master examiner made a case.

"something wrong!"

Wang Yugui hardly slept for the past two nights, and was anxious about his own body all night long. Hearing this, he lifted his spirits, "Where?"

"Look, Mr. Wang, the whereabouts of this sum of grain is unknown, and the whereabouts are not clearly written... What is mildew, but how can the grain become moldy so much?"

The master said firmly: "Even if it is moldy, it is only a part. It is impossible to dispose of all of them. This is unreasonable."

Another person came over and took a look, "Hey! Yes! Where did this food go?"

The master has no position, and feels a little sympathetic to that Yang Mingfu in his heart, "According to the past practice, most likely he was corrupted."

Wang Yugui smiled, "Is there more?"

The master pointed to another place, "Here, Mr. Wang, please see that this amount of food is said to be unbearable, but it was actually fed to war horses."

He shook his head, "In the past, I checked the account books at other places, and the most common excuse used by Tanmo was mildew and feeding war horses."

"Audacious!" Wang Yugui sneered, "I found Yang Xuan!"

Yang Xuan and Nan He were talking outside the house, and when they came in, they said impatiently: "Have you checked?"

"Check it out."

Wang Yugui wanted to reprimand him, but after thinking about it, he was wrong.

His purpose of this trip was to slap the imperial concubine in the face, and by the way, clean up the little county magistrate.

It's a pleasure to slap the face at this moment, but isn't the imperial concubine prepared for a letter from Yang Xuan to Chang'an?

He said coldly: "Yang Ming's mansion is clean and honest, which is beyond the old man's expectations."

Yang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's easy to say, easy to say. Yang has prepared a banquet, and invited Mr. Wang to show his face."

The old man should paralyze him!

"I won't eat the banquet!" Wang Yungui said with a straight face.

Since he was representing the queen, he naturally wouldn't give Yang Xuan a good face.

The two went out one after the other, and the experts who checked the accounts sorted out the evidence, and then temporarily sealed up the account books as usual.

"Let's go." The master who checked the accounts shook his head and sighed. The two account books he copied were originally taken by him quietly.

After everyone left the room, it was handed over to people from Taiping County.

Jiang Zhen came to take over. After he entered the room, he suddenly sighed and went out after a long time.

After he left, after a while, the wooden planks under the cabinet in the corner suddenly moved.

The wooden board kept moving sideways, one hand stretched out, pushed the wooden board away, and then a head poked out.

There was only enough space under the cabinet for him to stick out his head, and his neck was still under it.

The old thief looked at the room, scratched his head and said, "Then why is Jiang Zhen sighing?"

Yang Xuan invited Shang Huyun and his party to have a drink. Shang Huyun was watching him all the time. After the banquet, he returned to his residence. He said to Yan Hui: "Wang Yugui said that there is no evidence for the investigation. It seems that I have underestimated Yang Xuan."

Yan Hui was half-drunk, "After all, he is the young man that the empress once valued."

"If he survives this catastrophe, it will be smooth in the future." Shang Huyun said with a smile: "I am much older than him, but seeing that he is now a county magistrate, after this incident, his official career must be smooth, so I can't help but give birth Come envy, hey! I'm getting old!"

Yan Hui said: "How old is the master? This time, the empress can think of the master. This is a chance!"

Shang Huyun didn't speak.

It's not that the imperial concubine is unmanned, it's just that the task this time is to witness and testify, so naturally those big bosses are not needed.Besides, it was useless for the big boss to come. Someone was watching from the sidelines, and if there was any problem to be found out, could the big boss suppress this matter in front of Wang Yugui?
However, that's fine.

Thinking that after this experience, the empress must have been deeply impressed by herself, Shang Huyun couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.

"Officer!"

He drank tea comfortably.

In another place, Wang Yugui said murderously: "The night is long and dreamy, I will leave Taiping tomorrow, and then I will arrange a fast horse to gallop all the way to Chang'an, and pass on the news."

On the second day, Wang Yugui took everyone ready to go to Zhangyu County.

Since it is said that we should check from the bottom, naturally we cannot change the course.

Yang Xuan was also quite indifferent, and just sent Qian Ji to see him off.

A small official walked with Qian Ji, and Qian Ji said in a low voice, "Yesterday Yang Xuan and the others continued to drink and sing after they returned."

"The man thought he had escaped a catastrophe."

"Maybe get him down this time?" Qian Ji's eyes were burning.

The little official said lightly: "He is finished."

Qian Ji returned to the county office, and when he saw Yang Xuan covering his forehead and saying he had a headache, he smiled, "Mingfu, be careful!"

"Old Qian!" Yang Xuan tapped his forehead, "I drank too much last night."

There will be time for you to drink in the future!
Qian Ji smiled kindly, turned around and saw Jiang Zhen, and gave him a wink.

Later, Jiang Zhen pretended to deliver documents and entered Qian Ji's valued house.

Qian Ji sat by the window sill, his body hidden from the side, looking outside.

"Do you have the handle on Cao Ying?"

Why is he asking this?

Jiang Zhenxin tensed up, "Cao Ying is cautious in doing things, and she can't get a handle."

Qian Ji frowned, "That's all right!"

After Jiang Zhen went out, he thought about Qian Ji all the way.

He seemed to be complacent just now?

He went to find Cao Ying later, and after talking about some official business, he said before leaving: "Cao County Chancellor, there have been more mosquitoes recently."

Cao Ying hummed, and continued to deal with business at her desk.

"what!"

Cao Ying raised her head suddenly, "There aren't many mosquitoes recently! There are many mosquitoes... What does he mean by that?"

Cao Ying naturally didn't expect Erwuzi to warn her, and he didn't need this either.

When Li Han came, seeing him dealing with business, he asked, "Where is Zitai?"

"Lang Jun went to the county school."

Yang Xuan is teaching students in the county school.

"Why do we breathe?"

The students shook their heads in disbelief.

Human breathing is a natural thing, why ask?Li Wenmin felt that this question was a bit boring.

Yang Xuan seemed to know their thoughts, "Just like eating every day, why do you need to breathe? This is a big problem."

The students are very 'showy'. For example, in the first few days of school, someone's things were stolen, and he went straight to find the son of the thief, and beat him hard.

There were also people who were coaxed, and Yue Dashu was mobbed and beaten for this, but it turned out that he was not the one who did it.

These students are not stupid, they are in the city of sin, and the way of survival they have learned since childhood is completely different from other children.Here, they have to keep their spirits up and stare at the streets and alleys, as long as there is food or a chance to make money, no matter if you use tricks or touch porcelain, the starting point is the same.

Go make money!
Otherwise you will be starved to death.

The former Taiping officials didn't care about their life and death at all, and at most one death was reported after death.It is even more common for officials to corrupt their rations, so it is normal to not have enough food and clothing.

Starvation is also the norm.

We are not human.

Parents and elders warned them so.

Don't expect officials to treat us as human beings, so if you want to survive in this sinful city, you must learn your own way of survival.

For example, the son of a thief steals things as soon as he enters the school, but these students are not easy-going lamps.Especially Yue Dashu, obviously he was not stolen, but after the son of the thief was caught, he also shouted that he had been stolen five dollars.

That appearance, looking at it is really sad... This is money that has been saved for ten years!

The unruly students gave Li Wenmin a bit of a headache, so he broke three rulers because of this, but the students who were beaten by him in front of them cried and howled, turned around and began to feel triumphant again.

Some students showed off their swollen hoof-like hands.

Li Wenmin is also desperate sometimes, but his temperament is like this, he will not admit defeat.

Today Yang Xuan came to teach the students, Li Wenmin was watching from the side, holding the ruler tightly in his hand, and swore that whoever dared to jump out and stab them would have their ass smashed into four!

But the students listened attentively.

His gaze followed Yang Xuan.

A gentleman came over and said softly when he saw this, "It's only Ming Fu that can control these little bastards."

Seeing that Li Wenmin's face remained unchanged, he thought he was unhappy, so he explained: "After the Ming government came to Taiping, they... no, our life will be easier. The old man asked a student that day, who should he listen to in this life?" If so, the student said..."

Li Wenmin was a little curious about what the students would say.

Aye or Aniang?
The gentleman sighed: "He said that Ye Niang told him that in this life, he must listen to Ming Fu. He can do whatever Ming Fu asks him to do. Even if he is asked to die."

Li Wenmin was shocked.

The gentleman laughed and said: "The old man asked why people want to die for others when they are alive. The student said, Ye Niang said that we used to live like ghosts, but we didn't have a human appearance until the Ming Dynasty came. It was the Ming Dynasty that brought us from The ghost has become a human being, if the old man is willing to turn us into ghosts again, then he should have no hesitation!"

Li Wenmin opened his mouth and shook his head slightly.

It turns out that the old man has been puzzled by the question... Is this the answer?

Seeing that his eyes were slightly red, Mr. hurriedly said goodbye.

Men think that crying is shameful, and whoever is around is unlucky.

Li Wenmin looked at Yang Xuan, and said in his heart: Why is this old man unable to resist Ming Fu's orders? Ming Fu's talent is one thing, but what's more important...it was Ming Fu who turned this old man from a ghost into a human!
"We eat because our bodies need it. What we eat will be decomposed in the stomach and intestines. The body absorbs the nutrients, and the remaining dregs become decomposed and pulled out."

A student raised his hand, Yang Xuan nodded.

"Sir, is drinking water the same?"

"Of course, you think about why the meat you eat is soft? Why do you cry? These are the effects of the water you drink after it is decomposed in the body, and the final residue becomes urine."

The students suddenly realized.

When Li Han arrived, he stood outside the door, wondering, "How do you teach this?"

"By analogy, why do we breathe?"

One raised their hands.

Yang Xuan was overjoyed and pointed to Yue Dashu.

Yue Dashu got up and said: "Sir, it must be that what is inhaled is what people need. After people absorb what they need, the rest is exhaled."

This is my student!

A sense of happiness made Yang Xuan feel that teaching is a good profession.

Or... I will teach if I succeed in rebellion?

After a class ended, Yang Xuan came out, "Jianming?"

"Hey! Zitai, why are you angry with that... have this thing?"

"Try holding your breath."

"I know it won't last long."

"Why can't you hold back?"

"..."

Li Han was stuck, and his mind was cut off for a moment.

Why can't you hold back?
"Why?"

Li Han thought of Yue Dashu's answer, "Could it be that there is something we need among the things that are sucked in? Can it be sucked in..." He stretched out his hand and waved it in the void, "There is nothing!"

"Many things are invisible to the naked eye, not non-existent."

Yang Xuan patiently enlightened him, "It's like lighting a fire. You light a piece of paper and throw it into a porcelain bottle. The large mouthed porcelain bottle will start to burn, but the small mouthed porcelain bottle will be extinguished. But if you put a stopper on the large mouthed porcelain bottle, the fire inside will will go out."

"Really?" Li Han is a noble son, and he hasn't played too much.

"Try it and you will know." Yang Xuan felt that he was preaching.

He needs some people to break through the original knowledge system, reshape the knowledge system, and give Datang a complete reshuffle.

It is not enough to rely on the students alone. Li Han and other clan members want to learn, so of course he has to teach them all.

Li Han got on his horse and meditated, and it was only when he got outside the county that he remembered that he was looking for Yang Xuan.

"Has Wang Yugui ever found a clue?"

Yang Xuan smiled happily, "It should be found."

"Oh!"

Li Han went back to experiment, and Yang Xuan entered the county.

The old thief is waiting.

"how?"

"The villain heard them mentioning the moldy grain and the grain for the pig in the ground."

"understood."

Wang Yungui was on his way to Zhangyu County, when the two riders left quietly, they hurried all the way to Chang'an.

Changing horses along the way without changing people, when I saw Chang'an City, a leaf fell.

Someone took over the ledger, someone wrote bullets.

Everything is in order and in full swing.

Then he went into the palace with bullets.

"Your Majesty, someone impeached Yang Xuan, magistrate of Taiping County, for corrupting ink!"
