The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty

Although Huarong said that he was not afraid of the rumors of broken sleeves, Gao Ming still sent his eyes and ears to monitor the rumors in the city, and he was relieved when he found that there were no rumors about Huarong.

It's not difficult to understand when you think about it, although I don't know how Zhao Kai knew it, but King Shao would not be so stupid as to spread around to find a county horse for his daughter again, only to have his sleeve broken.

The person who most wanted to obliterate this matter was Shao Wang himself.

In short, Shao Wang's mansion failed to recruit Huarong to be a county horse, so he may have been hit and stopped completely.

Gao Ming didn't care about Shao Wang anymore, he had other things to do.

Gao Ming officially launched his plan, just like the Cuju competition, the first step is to find a venue.

The location is at the end of Yanyue Street, not far from Li Shishi and Cui Niannu.

There were originally two medium-sized brothels in this area, but the quality of the girls was not good, so the business was deserted.

Now Gao Yanei can buy these two pieces of land with a high price, and the owner can make a lot of money. Naturally, without frowning, he readily agreed to sell the land.

Pay with one hand and land with the other.

After the land was bought, major renovations were carried out. First, the two yards were merged into one, and the formal construction began.

When looking for construction personnel, Murong Yanze was the most experienced.

After hearing Gao Ming's plan, Murong Yanze said with relief: "You didn't disappoint me, I knew that as long as you go back to Tokyo, you will definitely bring something interesting. It's you, I personally especially like the part on the first floor , I have already figured out who to play, haha, none of them can escape. Moreover, even if the emperor doesn't like it at that time, we can open it up for ordinary people to play, and we can make a fortune back."

Gao Ming really thought so, even if the emperor didn't like it when it was finally built, he could choose to open it to the citizens of Tokyo.

He is not Yang Jian, with so much spare money, he doesn't care about the cost to please the emperor.

Gao Ming is different. Even if he pleases the emperor, he still cares about gains and losses. The benefits outweigh the risks, and at worst they have to be equal.

"Then practice your hands first, and if you succeed, build ten or eight, and make money lying down."

Murong Yanze was full of energy, looking forward to the construction site with his shoulders crossed, as if a cash cow was rising from the ground.

-

In late spring, at ten o'clock in the noon, there was already a bit of summer heat, Gao Ming got out of the carriage and shook his fan again.

Hua Rong looked at his fan specifically, "Why is this painting so normal?"

Isn’t the former Oriental Alpaca and Dongying Thunderbolt abnormal? Gao Ming lazily said: “Recently, there are too many things, so I’m too lazy to bother about such a small place.”

But no matter how many things there are, it will not prevent him and Huarong from going out to play on the holiday.

The two entered one of the largest sumo wrestling halls in Tokyo. The tickets were bought by Hua Rong, and it was his treat.

In this dynasty, sumo wrestling was very popular, especially in the army, and there was even a special Beiwei army composed of sumo masters.

Every year around June [-]th, Tokyo celebrates Mr. Cuifu’s birthday in the form of a sumo tournament. Now there are sumo tournaments everywhere in the city. In other words, there is no man who does not watch sumo tournaments.

I watched sumo wrestling in June, and started watching cuju competitions in July and August. The summer was enjoyable.

Gao Ming secretly sighed, Tokyo is better.

He glanced at Huarong beside him, and felt that this was no different from watching movies on holidays in later generations, except that there were men and women in the cinema, while most of the audience in the sumo wrestling hall were men. Even if there were women, they would look like Hu Sanniang This kind of kung fu is not as good as everyone's ladies.

At this time, the referee stepped onto the ring, muttering something, probably lost in thought.

Then I heard people around shouting like an explosion: "Ren Jingang is here!" From the back door, a burly man with a ferocious tiger's head tattooed on his heart came out.

Behind him were several burly men with stretched arms, all of whom were carrying plaques, which read such as winning the ring leader of such and such a certain year, very domineering.

At this time, someone shouted: "Another one is coming!"

From the other back door, a strong man walked out, his appearance was poor, he had no tattoos and no card players.

"Who is this person, Xiao Guansuo? I've never heard of it before."

"Hehe, I'm not well-known. When I meet Ren Jingang, if I win, I will become famous in the first battle. If I lose, I will be beaten badly."

"Those who can play in this gym are not ordinary people, they must be really talented."

There are many nicknames in the sumo world related to Guansuo, such as Xiao Guansuo, Zhang Guansuo, Li Guansuo and so on.

Xiao Guansuo entered the arena, waiting for his opponent to enter the ring.But Ren Jingang had a lot of ostentation, and the "deployment" was the referee, who went off in person and said a lot of good things before he came on.

Gao Ming could tell that Xiao Guansuo was very nervous, probably because he had little actual combat experience, and he lacked confidence when he suddenly encountered the senior master Ren Jingang.

But Gao Ming, as a spectator, only wants to see the wonderful game, and he does not consider the rest.

I saw Xiao Guansuo looked down the field, as if he was looking for something, and then he probably knew it, his eyes became firm, and when the referee waved the bamboo pole as a signal to start, he took the lead in launching the attack.

Ren Jingang didn't dodge, and also stretched out his hands to rush towards him, but Xiao Guansuo's figure was nimble, and as soon as he dodged, he caught Ren Jingang's head under his armpit, Ren Jingang's face was flushed, and he couldn't struggle.

Everyone applauded off the court, and Gao Ming watched it with gusto.

At the time of the stalemate, Ren Jingang suddenly moved his feet, and he hugged Xiao Guansuo as if he was winding up the mountain. He heard a roar that lifted the mountain. Lifted up.

Turned on the spot a few times, turned faster and faster, like a hot wheel, and then threw Xiao Guansuo off the stage.

The audience burst into applause.

"Brother——" Suddenly, a woman's crisp shout sounded amidst the applause.

Gao Ming saw a girl running towards Xiao Guansuo's place, but before she reached the place, she was held down by two big men around her.

Seeing this scene in the auditorium, there was a lot of discussion.

"What's going on?" Lian Ren King Kong was also surprised by the scene and asked the people around him.

"I heard that Xiaoguan Suo's family is from Tokyo West Road. They planted tidal land. Last year, the river was diverted and the farmland was washed away, but the tax still had to be paid, so he sold his sister. This year Xiaoguan Suo from I didn’t know this until I got home from another place, so I came to Tokyo to find a girl. Who knew that the person who bought his sister would pay a price a day. Every time he competed, he would bring his sister. If he won, he would just take away the reward. If he didn’t win , his sister will inevitably be beaten to accompany the guests of the master's house."

Gao Ming sat close to the ring and heard their conversation clearly.

It was Yang Jian who forcibly registered the tidal flats and barren hills as arable land in order to make money, and asked the people to farm and pay taxes. Many people who were harmed planted this kind of land and waited for the river to flood. Go bankrupt and sell your sons and daughters.

Hua Rong also heard it, and whispered in his ear: "It's all Yang Jian who scraped the ground."

Gao Ming tightened the corners of his mouth and sighed, converging into one sentence: That damned eunuch, who scrapes money and doesn't care about other people's life or death.

Ren Jingang heard this, and immediately said: "So that's the case, I don't want today's prize, so give it to him."

Gao Ming thought to himself that Ren Jingang was a righteous man.

"No, the owner of this little sister Guan Suo is..."

When it came to the key point, he deliberately lowered his voice for fear of being heard, but Gao Ming didn't hear it, so he looked at Hua Rong, he should be able to hear it.

Hua Rong told Gao Ming in his ear, "The host is Zhu Chong."

"Zhu Chong? Who is it?" Gao Ming felt familiar.

Immediately, someone next to him made a shush gesture to him, and said in fear: "Keep your voice down, he is the father of Zhu Yu from the Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau! You don't want to live because of your yelling?"

Zhu Xi presided over the Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau, and his main task was to deliver flowers and stones to the emperor, so he was favored by the emperor. Zhu's chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, and the servants walked sideways.

His father, naturally no one would dare to mess with him.

Gao Ming knew in his heart that Zhu Chong was Zhu Xi's father.

Don't look at Zhu Chong's countless family assets and countless servants who go out, shouting and hugging.

But when he was young, he was so poor that he never had a meal.

Later, he was almost starved to death in his hometown, so he ran out to make a living, but he was already very poor, but fortunately he was good-looking, and was favored by an old Taoist, and he was very happy to accompany the old Taoist, so the old Taoist gave him some prescriptions.

When he went back to his hometown and sold it, he didn't expect that the medicine was out of stock in an instant because of its excellent effect. After that, he accumulated a lot of wealth by selling this prescription.

Later, Cai Jing was spread all over Suzhou, and he immediately saw that Cai Jing was a rare commodity to live in, and he tried to please him in every possible way. As expected, Cai Jing regained his position and brought the Zhu family to Tokyo.

In particular, Zhu Xi presided over the Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau, who was in charge of Huashi Gang in the south of the Yangtze River. He didn't care about the money or the consequences. If anyone had a good stone, he dared to grab it directly.

Zhu Xi is domineering in the south of the Yangtze River, but my father stayed in Tokyo. After all, Tokyo is prosperous, and my father has to live a good life.

When Ren Jingang heard Zhu Chong's name, he also hesitated. If he stood up for Xiao Guansuo now, wouldn't he offend the Zhu family? That was not a pressure he could bear as a sumo wrestler.

Seeing Xiao Guansuo's sister who was crying heartbroken in the audience, he only told the people around, "Send the prize to Xiao Guansuo later." But there was nothing he could do about the situation at the scene.

Xiao Guansuo was helped up, struggled and said, "It's okay, I can still fight."

"Brother, there's no need, you don't care about me anymore..." The younger sister cried with tears in her eyes, "There is no end, the redemption money pays off every day, so don't care about me anymore."

The Zhu family servant who was escorting him grabbed her and left, "Let's go, your brother lost today!"

Xiao Guan Suo clutched his ribs and grabbed his sister's sleeve, and said to Zhu's servant: "I, I can still fight, I will find arrangements to make accommodations, and give me an extra match."

"Hehe, don't be so brave. Go back and take care of yourself. Wait until next time. There are guests in the mansion today, so your sister's place will be used. She has to go back and dress up." The servant of the Zhu family laughed badly. He grabbed Xiao Guansuo's younger sister by the hair and carried her away. Xiao Guansuo chased him two steps away, because he was seriously injured just now, and was pushed hard by one of them, so he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Gao Ming heard Hua Rong squeak and clenched his fists, obviously suppressing his anger, and the critical point of explosion was not far away.

"Enough!" Gao Ming stood up, pointed at the two strong men with his fan, and said, "How much they owe you, tell me the amount, and I'll pay them all at once!"

Everyone looked at Gao Ming and thought who this is, so they ran out to stand out.

Seeing that Gao Ming was dressed in brocade clothes, the servants of the Zhu family knew that he was a son of a rich family, "You have to calculate carefully at our house."

"Don't talk nonsense, you go back and get her deed of sale, and I will pay as much as it says."

The two servants of Zhu's family were dissatisfied, "Hey, what are you, you are quite arrogant, and you brought you the deed of sale? You don't even know who our master is?"

"Who? Old Zhutou?" Gao Ming said disdainfully.

Zhu's servant was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to beat him up, "What are you talking about? You don't want to live anymore?"

At this time, someone who knew Gao Ming whispered, "It seems to be Gao Ming."

"Ah, he is Gao Yanei?"

They cast their eyes on Gao Ming one after another, he is a well-known person, and everyone has been addicted to his eyes.

Gao Ming is not the only son of an official family named Gao in Tokyo, but there is only one person who calls Gao Ya Nei, so to a certain extent, there is only one Gao Ya Nei in Tokyo.

It is the son of Taiwei Gaoqiu, the current imperial secretary Dian Gaoming.

When the two servants of the Zhu family heard that the other was Gao Yanei, not to mention beating someone, they almost knelt down in fright. The other's father was a Taiwei, and they themselves were the emperor's secretary. This is not someone they can afford.

Quickly let the girl go, bowing again and again, "I have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, just wait a moment, we'll go back and get the deed of sale."

This is just an excuse, slip away first.

Then, under the glaring gaze of everyone beating the dog in the water, he ran away with his tail between his legs.

After the girl was released, she rushed over to see her elder brother, then cried and looked at Gao Ming. The brother and sister immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, you are really our benefactor, your kindness is unforgettable."

"It's nothing more than a trivial matter. Xiao Guansuo, take your sister and leave. When the deed of prostitution arrives, I will burn it for you."

In fact, everyone knows that it doesn't matter whether they burn it or not. Gao Yanei stood up for them. As long as Zhu Chong is not a lunatic, he will not harass them again just because of a maid.

Xiao Guansuo kowtowed three more times to Gao Ming, and led his sister away through the back door.

Everyone in the sumo hall knew Gao Ming's true identity, so no one dared to make any noise at will. They all looked at him quietly, and the arena was eerily quiet.

Because everyone's mood is too complicated, everyone should despise Gao Yanei when he appeared, after all, this guy's reputation is not very good.

But just now he hoeed the strong and helped the weak, he drew his sword to help when he saw injustice, and saved a pair of poor brothers and sisters, he should be greatly praised.

So should it be contempt, or should it be appreciated?

At this time, I saw Gao Yanei and his friends, turned around and walked out from the main entrance.

After they left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and began to whisper to each other impatiently.

"It seems that wicked people have their own troubles. The Zhu family walked sideways and met an even worse one!"

"Looking at it this way, Gao Yanei isn't that bad. This matter had nothing to do with him, but he couldn't sit still and offered to help. This is called Lu Jiangui who draws his sword to help when he sees injustice."

"Hehe, the most interesting thing is Zhu Chong, the old Zhutou. Hey, the Zhu family is domineering in the southeast, and they dare to be arrogant in Tokyo, with their tails up to the sky. In the eyes of the Taiwei's son, he is just a bad old man."

"In the first place, it's madness. It's out of money's eyes. Killing people is nothing more than a nod. The Zhu family keeps their sisters and keeps extorting money. I've never seen such a black heart. They deserve it!"

"Perhaps there is something hidden about Mrs. Lin's matter. I don't think Gao Yanei is as bad as the rumors say."

After all, no one saw Mrs. Lin's matter with their own eyes, it was only passed on by word of mouth, but what happened today, they saw it with their own eyes, and what they saw was believing.

Especially Gao Ya Nei, who had a dark and dark image before, suddenly had a bright spot, which made people feel even more different, especially for destroying the prestige of the Zhu family, as if he had vented his anger for them.

-

After leaving the sumo hall, Huarong thought disappointedly, and Gao Ming went out for entertainment, but encountered such a thing, bad mood.Next time we come out together, we will not choose a sumo hall, but find another good place.

Gao Ming was also uncomfortable, humming in his heart, Yang Jian and Zhu Chong must be responsible for this. "

It was their fault.

Afterwards, the two went to eat. The dishes tasted good, and they regained their mood, and went back talking and laughing.

When Gao Ming returned to the mansion, he heard that the head butler of the Zhu family had been here for a while.

Gao Ming asked him to come in, and when the Zhu family's big butler showed up, he bowed and apologized, "It's because the people below are not good at doing things, they have eyes that don't know Taishan, and they ran into the yamen, you must not be as knowledgeable as us, this is the little pass Sister Suo's contract of selling herself has been brought to you."

Gao Ming winked at the servant next to him, and the servant stepped forward to take the deed of sale.

Gao Ming glanced at it, but said nothing.

The housekeeper of the Zhu family said with a bitter face: "My master and I don't know about this. He is the deacon in charge of buying and selling maids, and he is arbitrarily arbitrarily advocating blackmail. Thanks to your appearance today, we only know about it." There is such a bully, he has already been beaten up and kicked out of the house."

Who knows whether what is said is true or not, Gao Ming is too lazy to care about it.

"Okay, I see, you go back and say hello to Mr. Zhu for me." After Gao Ming finished speaking, he got up and went back to the back hall.

A few days later, Gao Ming heard rumors about him in Tokyo, and for the first time there were many positive comments, and he even used the word "chivalrous and righteous".

He keenly realized that by stepping on Zhu Chong, whom everyone hates, his public reputation has improved, and it is a good time to release soft self-cleaning articles.

So in the next few days, in the teahouses in the streets and alleys, someone who claimed that his friend/relative/citizen was Gao Yanei's close entourage broke some news for everyone: I know Gao Yanei.

Gao Yanei was infatuated with Mrs. Lin and failed, and after learning from the pain, he changed his mind and changed his mind, and he has long since started a new life.

Do you know the cuju game that entertains the people of Tokyo?His idea!

Do you know the Double Ninth Festival in Happy Forest in Mengzhou?It's the best one in the world, his idea!

Do you know the robbers in Liangshan, Shaohuashan and Erlongshan?He recruited them all!

Not only these, Gao Yanei never treats his servants harshly, if anyone has difficulties, just let him know, he will help whenever he can.Although you may not believe it, he is really a nice person.

"It turns out that's the case. No wonder he can't understand the Zhu family bullying men and women."

"The prodigal son will not change his money when he turns back. I think Gao Yanei is still good."

After Gao Ming accurately placed a large number of navy troops in various teahouses, his image became much paler than before.He also stopped at the right time, waiting for the next opportunity to clean up.

—

Gao Ming's focus is still on the construction of the project. He goes to see it every now and then, personally supervises the progress of the project, and often checks the accounts.

It's not like Yang Jian built gardens for the emperor, extravagant and wasteful, and made money from the middle.

One day, Gao Ming came back from the construction site and just washed off the dust, when he received a report from his servants, "A man who called himself Dai Zong asked to see him. He has been waiting for you for several hours. The concierge wanted to dismiss him, but he said , he belongs to Liang Shanjun, you see?"

Dai Zong?Gao Ming's heart skipped a beat, and not long after sending Shi Jin and Lu Zhishen away, Dai Zong came to his door.

What is he doing here?

His intuition told him that it would definitely not be a good thing. It would be either the light of a sword or the shadow of a sword.

He sighed, "Call him in."

Soon, Dai Zong walked in with his head bowed, carrying a bundle, and when he saw Gao Ming, he immediately bowed, "I'd like to meet Gao Ti."

Gao Ming raised his hand, "Okay, no need to be polite."

Only then did Dai Zong raise his head, and after a long time, he saw the appearance of their former village master Sun Xiaowu again.

That's right!Not a single hair is bad, Gao Yanei is Sun Xiaowu.

Although I knew this a long time ago, but I saw it with my own eyes, and my mood was still quite complicated. I spit out two words, "My lord..."

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Gao Ming guessed that after Shi Jin and Lu Zhishen returned, they would spread his good reputation, saying that the village owner is still the village owner and so on.

Dai Zong's visit this time will not be to give him souvenirs, he must have something to ask for.

Dai Zong pursed his lips and said in embarrassment: "It's like this. Everything was fine at first. We were already on the way to conquer Wang Qing, but the royal wine that the imperial court rewarded us was withheld. The brothers were dissatisfied. They asked them to reason and were insulted." , A brother was angry and overthrew the Xiang official, and was questioned by Xingshi."

Gao Ming thought to himself, it must not be a simple overthrow, probably the officials who were overthrown with fists.

"Which brother?"

"It's Brother Li Kui. He was beaten with forty army sticks for this."

Guess it's this black servant, and there's no harm in beating him up.

But it must be true that the local officials also confiscated wine and meat. Otherwise, Li Kui would eat and drink and have brother Song Gongming, so he would not make trouble under normal circumstances.

Gao Ming found that he could "play and abuse" these heroes all he wanted, but he really couldn't bear it if other people abused them.

The people below dare to seize Liangshan's wine and meat, don't they want to live?

You thought that Liang Shanjun's father didn't love his mother or his mother, so there was no one to protect him, right?

It depends on the owner to beat the dog, Gao Ming is the former village owner of Liangshan!

"I will send someone to investigate the matter of the embezzlement of wine and meat. Don't worry about this. You will get as much as the imperial court allocates to you in the future." Gao Ming promised.

Dai Zong had a deep understanding of what it means to have people in the court who are good at handling things. He had been arguing with officials in the local area for so long and it was not resolved.

At this time, he suddenly remembered what Shi Jin often said after returning from Tokyo, "The village master will always be our village master."

"Xie Ya Nei." Dai Zong explained further, moved, "In fact, I didn't want to come because Brother Shi Jin told us after he came back from Tokyo that the imperial court was afraid of you contacting us, but he still came this time. First, because The matter of withholding wine and meat chilled the hearts of many brothers."

Gao Ming said: "If there is an emergency, I can't blame you."

"Secondly, it was Brother Song Gongming and Wu Xuexue who asked me to send you a letter."

Gao Ming nodded and signaled Dai Zong to give him a letter.

Who knew that Dai Zong handed over the burden, "It's all here."

Gao Ming visually judged the size of the bag, it was enough for a long trip, so he asked the servant to take it out of curiosity.

He opened it curiously, good guy, this is a letter, isn't it a novel?As for writing so many sheets?

Song Jiang and Wu Yong are so heartbroken for him, they have written so much.

He simply flipped through it, and the content can be summed up in two words: admit your mistakes.

He said a thousand words and ten thousand, and was afraid that Gao Ming would play tricks on them because of the beams formed in Liangshan.

Gao Ming retorted in his heart, what am I doing against you, Wang Qing and Fang La haven't done it yet.

"Song Gongming and Wu Xuexue have a heart. I understand their intentions. You go back and tell them, don't worry, just listen to the imperial court's dispatch, and do what you have to do."

Dai Zong cupped his hands, "Yes, I understand."

"Well, let's go." Gao Ming waved his hands, as if discussing matters in the Juyi Hall.

After Dai Zong went down, Gao Ming looked at the letter between Song Jiang and Wu Yong, and pushed it uninterested.

If these letters are love letters, there is still a need to read them, otherwise, they can be omitted.

Gao Ming thumped his shoulders tiredly, and couldn't help sighing, really, they are all back in Tokyo, and they still have to worry about this group of people, they come to him for lack of food and clothing, they are the village lord for a day, and they will be the lord of the village for life.

At this time, Hua Rong came in from the outside, saw Gao Ming frowning at a table of papers, and said with a smile: "Are you looking at the documents of the Imperial City Division?"

"No, if any official dares to write so much nonsense, I must beat him."

Hua Rong came to the table, "Can I read it?" Seeing Gao Ming nodding, he randomly picked up one, and the first thing that came into his eyes was: "Xiao Ke can't sleep at night every time he thinks of Ya Nei." He couldn't help frowning, " What's this?"

"Song Jiang wrote it to me." Gao Ming told about Dai Zong's visit just now.

Hua Rong picked up a few more and connected the context, only to realize that Song Jiang wanted to apologize to Gao Ming, and that he could not sleep at night because he was worried that he would offend the Yamen.

Hua Rong said disgustedly: "Why is he so nasty?"

Who knows Gao Ming suddenly remembered something, smiled sideways, and then said to Hua Rong in a serious manner: "Look at Song Jiang, this is the attitude of writing an apology letter, and look at someone who disappeared for three days before writing a line." , you will have to apologize according to Song Jiang's standard in the future, you know?"

Hua Rong moved his gaze from the letter to Gao Ming's face, frowned slightly, his eyes seemed to be really reflecting, and then he must have thought of something, and the brows stretched again, and smiled: "I won't make you angry in the future, just No need to write a single line."

After Gao Ming heard this, he couldn't hold back any longer, and burst out laughing, "Hmph, that's pretty much the same."

"I'll listen to you from now on." Hua Rong said softly, but she looked at Gao Ming with firm eyes, one could tell that he was serious when he said this.

Gao Ming was stunned for a moment, then stood up quickly, "I'm hungry, let's go eat." He walked out of the living room.

Hua Rong also stood up and followed.
