Monument Yangmen

Chapter 6
The next morning.

When Wang Jin came to deliver breakfast, Yang Yansi stopped him.

Yang Yansi ate a few mouthfuls hastily, and followed Wang Jin to the Wang family.

Seven or eight green brick and tile-roofed houses surrounded a courtyard. On the lintel in front of the courtyard, there was a horizontal plaque with four large black characters written on it.

Loyalty heirloom!

At the gate of the courtyard, there is a pair of big stone lions with their teeth and claws, next to the third bluestone stone steps.

Wang Gui held a dark porcelain bowl and squatted on the stone steps to eat.

"Father, Shichiro is here."

Wang Jin led Yang Yansi to Wang Gui.

Wang Gui didn't even get up, he raised his head, and when he saw Yang Yansi, he happily patted the stone steps beside him.

"Qiro is here?! Sit down and talk."

Yang Yansi was not hypocritical, and sat beside Wang Gui.

"Uncle Wang, it's been a few days since I moved here, and I haven't come to visit. I hope Uncle Wang is not to blame."

Wang Gui licked off a pickle at the bottom of the bowl, and belched in satisfaction.

"Qilang, if we don't talk about each other as a family, if we are polite to your Uncle Wang, I will get angry."

Wang Gui put down his job and put on an angry face.

Hearing this, Yang Yansi hurriedly apologized, "The boy is hypocritical."

Wang Gui patted his buttocks and stood up, "Have you eaten yet? If you haven't eaten, I'll ask your aunt to pack some for you?"

Yang Yansi stood up, nodded and said: "I have eaten. I..."

Wang Guihu glared, "You brat just speak up when you have something to say, you're hesitant, not like our kind!"

Yang Yansi took a deep breath and stated the purpose of his trip.

"Uncle Wang, I want to borrow a few people from you..."

Wang Gui was taken aback, and asked curiously, "Borrower? That lazy girl Ah Qi can't serve you well?"

Yang Yansi said bluntly: "I would like to borrow a few Lianjiazi."

"Family general?"

Wang Gui asked tentatively, seeing that Yang Yansi hesitated to speak, he handed the porcelain bowl in his hand to Wang Jin.

"Boy, take the bowl back."

Wang Jin scratched his head and wanted to continue listening, but he didn't dare to disobey Wang Gui's order, so he reluctantly walked into the courtyard with the porcelain bowl.

As soon as Wang Jin left, Yang Yansi said decisively: "My nephew needs to find two or three generals who are tight-lipped to do something."

Wang Gui frowned and stared at Yang Yansi for a long time, as if he wanted to see a flower on his face.

After a long silence, Wang Gui spoke.

"Boy, unless it is absolutely necessary, the general will never use it lightly. If the general finds out, he will definitely punish you."

"Little nephew has made up his mind, please fulfill it, Uncle Wang."

Wang Gui folded his hands behind his back, with a serious face, "Qilang, can you tell Uncle Wang, what are you going to do with your family?"

Yang Yansi frankly confessed to Wang Gui that he knew in his heart that if he borrowed someone from Wang Gui, he couldn't hide it from Wang Gui.

Briefly told Wang Gui about the hidden poison in melons and fruits, but he concealed the involvement of Concubine Pan Gui in it, and just pushed everything on Eunuch Quan.

"It's so daring! A little servant, dare to poison my disciples. After I go to the court clothes, I will go to the palace and ask His Majesty to understand. Does Your Majesty want to hide everything and kill us?"

Wang Gui has a hot temper, and when he heard that someone poisoned Yang Yansi, he immediately became angry.

Yang Yansi stopped Wang Gui, and comforted him: "Uncle Wang, this is just my nephew's speculation, there is no conclusive evidence yet, so it's not appropriate to say anything about it."

Wang Gui thought about it carefully, and Yang Yansi's words were reasonable, with a gloomy face, "You want to take down Eunuch Quan and interrogate him?"

"Ok!"

"Uncle will accompany you for a walk."

Yang Yansi shook his head, "Uncle Wang, although you have lived in the farm for a long time, you are still a fifth-rank general of the imperial court, so it is not appropriate to come forward. This matter should be handed over to my nephew. If something happens, there is room for maneuver."

Wang Gui stared at Yang Yansi with some surprise in his eyes, "Qilang, you are still thoughtful, Uncle Wang listens to you. I never thought that you are so thoughtful at such a young age."

"Uncle Wang won the prize."

Wang Gui is impatient, after agreeing to Yang Yansi, he quickly recruited two strong men with very similar faces.

"Feng Lin! Feng Hui! Twin brothers, follow me for many years, loyal! Let them go with you."

After bidding farewell to Wang Gui, Yang Yansi took Feng Lin and Feng Hui back to the other courtyard of Yang Mansion.

After noon, Mr. Quan's carriage arrived at the other courtyard of Yang's mansion.

Unlike yesterday, today Eunuch Quan got out of the carriage, put down the melon and fruit basket, turned around and left without saying a word to Yang Yansi.

Yang Yansi and the two brothers Feng Lin quietly followed after Mr. Quan's carriage.

There was no words all the way, followed the carriage to Bianjing City, crossed the Jinshui River, and stopped at the gate of a gambling house.

Eunuch Quan jumped out of the carriage and told the driver to go back first.I looked left and right, and quietly got into the casino.

The three of Yang Yansi stood guard at the soup cake stand outside the gambling house.

It was not until the willow branch on the moon that Eunuch Quan came out of the gambling house.

Feng Hui was impatient and walked around Yang Yansi irritably.

"Seventh Young Master, do you think there will be a secret door in this gambling house? The eunuch has already left through the back door?"

Yang Yansi shook his head and smiled, "Patience! The most important thing in hunting is patience."

"No! I can't wait any longer, I'll go in and have a look." Feng Hui started to leave.

As the eldest brother, Feng Lin has a stable personality. He pressed Feng Hui's shoulder, "Sit down! The general ordered us to obey the orders of the seventh young master. Are you going to disobey the military order?"

"Lao Shizi is just a eunuch. I rushed in, knocked him out, and carried him away. It's much better than waiting here."

Feng Hui's words were full of complaints.

Feng Lin's face turned cold, "Second brother, don't forget your identity."

Feng Hui said dissatisfiedly: "I haven't forgotten! Our brothers are fierce soldiers who rush to kill on the battlefield, not some green forest robbers who do such stealthy things."

Yang Yansi listened for a long time from the sidelines, and finally understood it.

Feng Hui refused to accept him!
Yang Yansi didn't care about this, he just sat quietly on the soup cake stand and stared at the door of the gambling house.

After another half an hour, the owner of the soup cake stall, an old lady, walked over tremblingly.

"Three guest officers, it's getting late. It's time for the old woman to close the stall."

Hearing that the old lady closed the stall, Feng Hui started to complain again.

Yang Yansi also felt that it was getting late, and it seemed that there was a curfew, and if he didn't leave the city, the city gate would be closed.

"Seventh Young Master, take a look, the curfew is coming soon. How about...we come back tomorrow?"

Just as Yang Yansi was about to nod, he suddenly noticed a figure sneaking out of the gambling house.

"Come out! Follow up! Find a place where no one is there to do it."

The spirits of the two Feng Lin brothers were shaken, and the three quietly left the soup cake stall and followed Eunuch Quan.

Follow Mr. Quan all the way through the streets and alleys,
In the city of Bianjing at night, the lonely pedestrians hurried home, fearing that they might be caught by the guards patrolling the streets and taken to the yamen at the wrong time.

Passing by a dark and deserted alley, the two Feng Lin brothers rushed forward, knocked out Eunuch Quan with a sap stick, carried them on and left.

The three of them carried Eunuch Quan on their shoulders, avoided the guards before the city gate was closed, and slipped out of Bianjing City quietly.
