Xia do not stay

Chapter 68
Riding his horse to the Taishou's Mansion, Gu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at this very luxurious mansion. The two bronze lions at the door alone are already worth a lot.

Copper was a valuable item in ancient times. Twelve taels of brass was enough for ordinary people to live for half a month, and the copper lion here weighed at least a hundred catties.

Thinking of the begging people he saw along the way, Gu Yang suddenly had a deeper understanding of the poem "The wine and meat of the Zhumen stinks, and the bones are frozen to death on the road".

Gu Yang dismounted, and Yang An led him into the mansion. The two walked through the red corridor, crossed the small bridge and flowing water, and entered a garden.

The fragrance of flowers here, the shade of green grass, the forest of strange rocks, the beauty of the scenery is no less than that of Suzhou gardens.

"Little rabbit, don't be afraid of the pain, it will be fine soon."

Gu Yang stopped and saw a woman in white clothes squatting among the flowers not far away, bandaging the wound of a wounded little white rabbit. Her side face was soft, her makeup was beautiful, and her movements were very gentle.

The corner of Gu Yang's mouth smiled slightly, it was interesting.

Yang An laughed, and said in a low voice: "I'm making Daxia Gu laugh. This is a Yangzhou skinny horse that my father just bought. It cost three thousand gold. She just entered the mansion and hasn't been trained yet, so she doesn't know the rules."

Gu Yang smiled, did not speak, and continued to walk forward.

Yangzhou skinny horses do not refer to horses, but noble people. They are outstanding in appearance. They were adopted from an early age and lived a life of rich clothes and fine food. They learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to cultivate their temperament, and at the same time learned various skills to serve men.

By Jiji, the skinny horse at this time is in its most beautiful years, with a slender figure and an elegant temperament. At that time, the master would hold a grand auction for them, and rich merchants and nobles flocked to them.

After Gu Yang and the others left, the tenderness and kindness on the woman's face disappeared immediately. She threw the little white rabbit into the flowers, patted the stained hair on her hands, and there was a trace of disgust in her eyes.

……

After walking for a while, Gu Yang finally met Yang Qingyuan, the prefect of Yunzhou.

The old eunuch who was already seventy years old actually greeted Gu Yang at the door in person. To Gu Yang's surprise, he obviously didn't practice martial arts, but he had a ruddy complexion, black hair, and was full of energy.

Yang Qingyuan personally led Gu Yang to the upper seat. Gu Yang noticed that there were four guards at the banquet. Their eyes were vigilant, their auras were locked on him from time to time, and their palms were pressed on the handle of the knife.

These four guards are not simple, especially the tallest one. He looks like a barbarian, with countless braids on his head and scars all over his face. When he stands there, he will feel a barbaric and sturdy air. .

Gu Yang remained calm, talking and laughing freely, but he was a little curious about what the father and son wanted to do.

After drinking for three rounds, Gu Yang suddenly put down his glass.

"I heard that in your prefect's mansion, dark shadows often appear recently, and fine wine and food are stolen. Is there such a thing?"

Yang Qingyuan's expression remained unchanged.

Yang An's hand holding the wine glass shook slightly, and some of the wine spilled out.

The fiery atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Yang Qingyuan shook his head and smiled, and said: "Actually, he got in with a thief who was stealing food, and he has already caught it. It's all the fault of those servants. They are too talkative and talk about haunting. It's ridiculous!"

Yang An suddenly stared into Gu Yang's eyes, and said, "Major Gu's trip to Yunzhou this time is probably for this trivial matter."

Gu Yang drank quietly and did not speak.

Yang Qingyuan laughed loudly, and said: "It's the child who is ignorant. We can't get involved in the matter of the six doors. I only know one thing. If Gu Daxia has any orders, he will definitely help him!"

Gu Yang raised his glass and said, "Thank you."

The three drank again, and the atmosphere slowly returned to fiery.

After drinking a few more cups, Yang Qingyuan suddenly smiled and said, "If Gu Daxia is willing to go to the banquet, he is my friend. I have never been stingy with friends. I specially prepared three gifts. I hope Gu Daxia will not refuse."

After all, he clapped his hands.

A maid walked over holding a box, knelt down in front of Gu Yang, and lifted the box with both hands.

The box is very delicate, obviously there are valuables inside, Gu Yang squinted his eyes, and said calmly: "What does the prefect Yang mean?"

Yang Qingyuan smiled slightly, and said: "It's not something valuable, but tea bricks, a specialty of Yunzhou. It's just a local specialty, not expensive."

The maid opened the box, and it turned out to be pieces of tea bricks.

Gu Yang picked up a piece of tea brick, sneered in his heart, the weight was not right, he slightly opened a crack with his fingers, and he saw the red gold color.

What tea bricks are clearly gold bricks!

However, Gu Yang showed a satisfied smile, and his attitude towards Yang Qingyuan immediately became much more enthusiastic.

"Thank you, tea is my favorite."

Gu Yang accepts everything according to the order, don't refuse it for nothing, as an ordinary policeman, even if he has the trust of his superiors, he would not dare to openly accept bribes during the assessment mission, but who told him that not only the people above him, but even the one above him is still his .

Qin Rushuang is his examiner, so what is he afraid of, he might as well accept it first and let the other party relax his vigilance.

Seeing that Gu Yang accepted it, Yang Qingyuan's smile became more enthusiastic, he clapped his hands, and the second gift came up.

It was an embroidery, Yunzhou Jinxiu, which was also considered a local product, not particularly expensive but representative, but when Gu Yang turned it over, he found a piece of land deed stuck on the back.

A mansion covering an area of ​​one hundred acres.

Gu Yang smiled again with satisfaction and raised his glass to toast.

"Master Yang, you are such a wonderful person. Now I am looking forward to the third gift even more."

Yang Qingyuan smiled and said: "This third gift is the most worthy of Gu Daxia."

After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands. Many young women came in white veils, accompanied by musicians. The women danced to the beat of the music. In the center was a dancing girl in red, covering her face with a light veil, showing her With a pretty waist, her dancing posture is the most outstanding.

After dancing, the rest of the women in white skirts retreated, and the woman in red was left alone. She gently took off her veil, and it turned out to be the thin Yangzhou horse that Gu Yang saw when he came to bandage the wound of a rabbit.

She knelt beside Gu Yang and poured wine for him.

"The servant's house is Gu Daxia's...the third gift."

When she claimed to be a gift, there seemed to be tears of grievance in her eyes, she was so pitiful that one couldn't help feeling pity.

Gu Yang suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, and looked around, as if checking the goods.

There was shame and anger in her eyes, but it disappeared immediately, and she said in a trembling voice: "Hero, please... have mercy."

Gu Yang let go of his hands, wiped his body again, and said: "The powder is too heavy, I don't like it, Governor Yang, I don't want this gift, please give me some tea bricks, I like Yunzhou tea, but I don't like it. I like green tea."

When Gu Yang was watching her bandage the rabbit's wound just now, he could tell that something was wrong, because the wound on the rabbit's leg was caused by man-made, and the man was very weak and didn't know martial arts, so it was probably caused by this woman herself.

Even if it wasn't, Yang Qingyuan took great pains in arranging such a play.

Think about it, when a man sees such a beautiful and kind woman, will he feel good about it?
Even just a little affection is enough, when this girl dances again and takes off her veil, that little affection will quickly magnify, coupled with those cute little eyes, it makes people feel that she seems to be waiting for your love rescue.

A person may be able to refuse money and a mansion, but after laying the groundwork and being slightly drunk, can you still refuse such a woman?
Gu Yang refused, he didn't want to have another pair of other people's eyes around him.

Of course, he wasn't worried that Qin Rushuang would be jealous if he found out, not at all!
……

After Gu Yang left, Yang Qingyuan and his son sat opposite each other.

"An'er, what do you think of Gu Yang?"

Yang An said with a sneer, "This guy is too sharp, and he fights both inside and out. He's just trying to catch fame."

After a pause, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and he said: "It's just good luck to be close to Princess Lengyue because of his good face."

Yang Qingyuan smiled and said: "Anyway, he took our things, and we took advantage of him. You go and spread his portrait to all levels of government, and tell those people that they should be more peaceful these days, and don't provoke this law." Crossing the river dragon, as long as he doesn't touch that matter, we don't need to be enemies with him."

After all, Yang Qingyuan sighed: "Actually, I am most worried about that person. Although he has stopped sneaking into the mansion recently, it seems that he has given up, but we can't take it lightly."

Yang An nodded, with a hint of ferocity in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Dad, I've cleaned up all the traces."

Yang Qingyuan nodded, and said: "Wait for a while, if that person really gives up, then continue."
