I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 607

Feng Gu was excited and wanted to rush into the fire to save people, but was held back tightly.

"Feng Gu, forget it, the fire is so big, they can't survive..."

Yang Huzi on the roof was forced to retreat by the fire.

Although he also wanted to rush into the fire to save people, it was impossible to save everyone with his own strength.

Just when he was so anxious that he was almost in a hurry, he suddenly heard something on the floor under the wing room.

Not knowing why, without thinking about it, he quickly raised his bow and became wary.

Unexpectedly, the floor shook twice, and a man with a greasy face coughed violently and climbed up from below.

Although this person's face was covered with grime, Yang Huzi immediately recognized that this person was the Yi Cheng of the post station.

He was also a little confused for a while.

"What is the origin of the people in this post station? Why are they so powerful? It doesn't matter if they escape once or twice, but even Mixiang has no effect on them."

Yicheng was shocked when he saw Yang Huzi was such a big living person, and quickly explained,
"This official, don't get me wrong. We are not villains. We are here to save people."

Although Yang Huzi's personality is a little impulsive, he also knows the priorities at this time. The matter of these guys will be discussed later, and saving people is the most important thing now.

So with the help of Yicheng, he hurriedly put Yang Huilan, Zhou Chen and others in the tunnel.

There are also two postmen and cooks below to help, and the action of saving people is very fast. It didn't take long for them to get everyone in the wing room into the tunnel.

It was at this moment that the roof of the wing room finally couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed with a bang.

The Yicheng who was hiding in the tunnel couldn't help but sighed with a mournful face,

"It's over now, the post station is gone, and when I go to the underworld, how should I explain to my old man?"

In the era of the Ming Dynasty, many civil servants were actually hereditary, such as Jin Yiwei, such as the officers and soldiers of the guards. In fact, there are still many such people, and many of them are hereditary.

Although Yicheng is not a high-ranking official, he can be regarded as a person who has made his name in the imperial court.

No matter how you say it, this postman can be regarded as a respectable figure in the surrounding villages.

At this time, the post station was burned down. Although he was not responsible, if the court were to pursue it, he would not be able to escape punishment.

And the inn inherited by the family is gone, and he has lost his only livelihood, no wonder he is so heartbroken.

The fire was raging outside, and the heat in the tunnel was unbearable.

Yang Huzi was also very upset. Seeing that his boss was still crying alone, he said impatiently,

"Okay, okay, don't cry, this time you guys have saved the governor's life, I believe the governor will not ignore you, maybe it's not wrong for the governor to reward you as a governor's servant if you are happy. possible."

The eyes of the four postmen suddenly brightened.

Although the yamen servants are not officials, they should be assigned to someone to be the yamen servants.

There is an old saying that is good, the prime minister's family slave is a seventh-rank official.

It's not about the rank of the prime minister's servants, but that they can become the prime minister's servants, and their status is comparable to that of a seventh-rank official.

Although the governor is not a prime minister, as the highest official in a region, his status in the region is no worse than that of a first- and second-rank official in the court.

Being able to serve as a yamen servant for the governor, it is also a matter of face for the thief to say it.

Several people immediately broke away from the grief just now, and expressed their gratitude to Yang Huzi.

"My lord, please give me some good words in front of the governor, I really don't know why someone poisoned the well water!"

It was the first time that Yang Huzi was called an adult since he became a member of the Jinyi Guard Hundred Households, and he was also very beautiful in his heart.

Seeing that a few of them didn't seem to be lying, so they slapped their chests and said,
"As long as you guys sincerely trust me, I, Yang Huzi, will say a few nice words to you in front of my lord!"

Yicheng rolled his eyes, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said to Yang Huzi,

"My lord, to be honest, I have one more thing to tell you, my lord."

"what's up?"

"That's why the few of us didn't get poisoned."

Yang Huzi suddenly regained his energy when he heard this, and this is exactly what he is most puzzled about right now.

Yicheng hesitated for a moment, then continued,

"To be honest, my lord, don't look at this inn as dilapidated, but it has existed for nearly a hundred years.

This inn already existed long before Taizu established his capital in Nanjing.

The villain also learned something about the past of this inn after listening to his ancestors. "

"It is said that when the Yuan people ravaged the Central Plains, in order to protect the surrounding villagers from being slaughtered by the Yuan people, the ancestors built several tunnels in the post station to hide those who escaped from the Yuan people's pursuit.

Later the Yuan people were expelled from the Central Plains by the great grandfather, and these tunnels were useless, but the ancestors were afraid of any disaster, so they did not seal these tunnels..."

Although Yang Huzi was skeptical about Yicheng's words, if he knew more about Nanjing's history, he would know that this is a troubled place.

As the thoroughfare of nine provinces, Nanjing is well connected both by water and land.

Since ancient times, it has been a place where military strategists must be correct.

It is actually normal for the ancestors of Yicheng to build a place to avoid disasters in this place.

Yang Huzi kept nodding while listening to this interesting story all day.

Yi Cheng continued,

"You know the authentic thing. As for why the few of us were not poisoned, it's actually easy to explain."

"We haven't had anyone to stay in this inn for a year or so, and we have long been unable to make ends meet.

On weekdays, we all dig wild vegetables for a living. Among them is a kind of wild vegetable with a spicy taste. Eating it can not only keep out the cold, but also drive away dampness. The villain feels that this thing is a good thing, so he hides some in the tunnel. "

"After eating the food and wine brought by those people, the villain didn't feel very satisfied, so he secretly went underground to get some food."

"Who knew that as soon as we dared to come out, we found that the officials guarding us were all there. We saw that they were all passed out, so we wanted to slip away again, so we hid in the tunnel."

"I didn't expect it, it was such a coincidence that I escaped their mist!"

As he said that, he took out some of the wild vegetables hidden on his body and gave it to Yang Huzi.

Yang Huzi tried a little bit, and felt as if a hot feeling rushed from the sky to the internal organs in an instant, which was both stimulating and refreshing.

While feeling the stimulation, he nodded and said,

"This thing is really a good thing. After being so excited, I feel a lot more energetic in an instant."
