Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye was puzzled and asked, "Why? Didn't you say that the guards of the Yanyun Yamen outside have already withdrawn?"

Changsun Yumo nodded, looked at Chen Jitao who was sitting on the bed, and said in a low voice: "I sent away the guards of the Yanyun Yamen. But just now I heard that the school captain who has been arguing with me mentioned Now, the Dongmen Ferry Wharf has been heavily fortified. Do you think why the only ones on the river who chased and arrested Chen Juncheng were the guards of the Yanyun Yamen? That is because Tong Huan arranged for the soldiers who rushed to the Duwei's Mansion to set up defenses there. Interrogate the people who boarded and disembarked. And he also ordered the remaining [-] government soldiers to go through the streets and alleys of Yangzhou City, searching from house to house. It seems that they will not give up until Chen Juncheng is found!"

In an instant, Chen Jitao's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Tong Huan and Zhang Chengzong, these two scumbags, are sure to win the lower officials. They want to see people when they are born, and they want to see corpses when they die. It seems that they won't take me away." Come on, I definitely can't sleep well!"

Guo Ye first spoke to comfort Chen Jitao, then fell silent for a while, and suddenly heard Mao Laojiu knocking on the door outside, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he shouted: "I have an idea!"

Immediately, he signaled Chen Jitao to take a rest for now, and dragged Chang Sun Yumo out of the cabin to discuss a solution with Mao Laojiu.

……

……

The big ship continued to sail towards Yangzhou, and it was almost at dusk before arriving at the Dongmen Ferry Wharf.

As soon as the big ship docked, Guo Ye stood on the deck and looked around the pier. Sure enough, there was a checkpoint. Hundreds of Yangzhou government soldiers were holding portraits and checking the people entering and leaving the pier.

Mao Laojiu came to Guo Ye's side, and whispered in a flattering tone: "Guo Inspector, the old man can only send you here, now you can only rely on yourself when you get off the boat, be careful."

Guo Ye patted Mao Laojiu on the shoulder and boasted: "Master Mao, you are a good person. Next time you have the opportunity to enter Yangzhou City, you must come to the governor's mansion to find me. You just need to mention my name, and when you arrive At that time, there must be no one to embarrass you and not let you in."

As he spoke, he beckoned to the eldest grandson Yumo behind him, and winked at him.

Changsun Yumo understood, and stuffed a small bag wrapped in silk into Mao Laojiu's arms, and shouted: "Put it away, there are about 100 taels of gold in it, which is probably worth 1000 taels of silver. As for the extra , get some food and drink for your helmsman and fellows later, and treat it as Governor Guo and I rewarding everyone."

Mao Laojiu hugged the package tightly, his face was full of unexpected joy, he thought that this matter was messed up by the Yanyun Yamen, and there would be no follow-up.Unexpectedly, Governor Guo still remembered clearly.

Immediately, he pretended to be polite and declined: "Hey, the old man has not accomplished an inch, why, how dare he accept this reward, alas, this one is impossible!"

The eldest grandson Yumo looked at Mao Laojiu's hypocrisy, and spat: "What are you pretending to be? Are you a man who is short of money? If you tell you to accept it, just accept it, so long-winded!"

When Mao Laojiu was scolded by the eldest grandson Yumo, he was so frightened that his legs trembled and trembled.

Guo Ye smiled and said: "Maodong's family, this is what I promised you before, and you deserve it. Just pretend that you have never seen or heard about today's matter, and it is my cover-up payment for you. "

This matter naturally refers to Chen Jitao's matter, and of course there are other things that Guo Ye asked him to help with later.

Mao Laojiu nodded vigilantly and assured: "Lord Inspector, don't worry, the old man's mouth must be tight and he will not chew his tongue. And the old man will take a rest at the ferry tonight, and set sail with the helmsman and fellows tomorrow morning. Cangzhou has gone. Yangzhou will stop coming here at least before the end of the year.”

Guo Ye saw that this guy was so smart and knew how to advance and retreat, so he couldn't help but look a little more appreciatively.

Finally he asked, "How is it? Are you ready for everything I asked you to prepare?"

Mao Laojiu nodded, and said: "Don't worry, Lord Inspector, the stinky salted fish and the stretcher are all ready, and I also cleaned up the injured brother. Now his face is sallow and sallow. People. By the way, the captain under your command has already prepared in the cabin, waiting for your order."

Guo Ye praised happily: "Okay, I have Lao Mao's boss, I am very grateful. Then let's say goodbye and meet again someday?"

Mao Laojiu tightly held the package containing more than 100 taels of gold in his arms, grinning steadily and nodded with a smile: "It's easy for the governor to go, the old man will go to Yangzhou next year, and he will definitely go to the governor's mansion to ask for a bowl of water with him. "

Guo Ye laughed and said, "When friends come, they not only have water to drink, but also wine and meat to eat."

After laughing, he shouted to Liu Zhenxuan under the cabin: "Zhenxuan, bring the brothers up, let's get off the boat."

Liu Zhenxuan's voice was heard in the distance, and after a while three hundred soldiers came up to the deck, and finally two soldiers dressed as ordinary fishermen wearing bamboo hats carried a stretcher one behind the other. Chen Jitao, Chen Jitao's body was covered with a white sheet, covering from head to toe, not showing a trace of his body.

Suddenly, a stench was blown by the river wind and permeated the deck, and Chang Sun Yumo held his nose and cried out that it stinks to death.

Guo Ye said with a smile: "Let's just settle down, okay, let's take the lead next time, come out like your eldest grandson and third son, let's mess around with the transitional checkpoint first."

Chang Sun Yumo held his nose and hummed, then hurriedly got off the boat.

Guo Ye waved his hands at Liu Zhenxuan and the others, and shouted: "Brothers, follow up and get off the boat!"

huh huh huh~~

300 people got off the big boat one after another and went ashore, and finally carried Chen Jitao's two personal soldiers to the end.

Get off the boat, go ashore, and come to the checkpoint.

Such a bustling camp with hundreds of people is naturally eye-catching, and the stench emanating from under the white sheets on the stretcher even smoked away many people nearby.

The queue formed a long queue, passing through the checkpoints one by one. Many Yangzhou government soldiers wandered around in the queue with Chen Jitao's portrait in their hands, asking Guo Ye's people to look up from time to time for comparison.

At this time, the eldest grandson Yumo had already started a fight with a school captain at the checkpoint: "Fuck you, do you know who this young master is? I really blinded you, you dare to interrogate this young master next year?"

The head lieutenant Sun Yumo's aura was shocked, and he asked weakly, "I don't know your name, sir?"

Guo Ye, who was pretending to be the eldest grandson Yumo's entourage, raised his hand and pointed angrily: "Put up your dog ears and listen carefully, my son is the third son of Zhao Guogong's eldest Sun Wuji, Mr. Zuo Servant. See When seeing the queen, my son has to call aunt; when seeing the emperor, my son has to call uncle. Do you understand? Do you want me to repeat it again?"

"what?"

The captain who was in charge of checking the checkpoint was obviously intimidated by the identity of the elder Sun Yumo, but he didn't dare to trust the responsibility, so he just wanted to have the courage to ask the other party what proof he had.

Suddenly his face was slapped and he was slapped hard. It turned out that the elder Sun Yumo directly threw the letter of appointment issued by the official department to his face, and cursed: "This is the official certificate given to me by the official department. It says The identity of this young master. By the way, this young master is going to take up the post of governor of Yangzhou this time, and you and I have to get close to each other in the future, hehe..."

Changsun Yumo sneered, with all the evil spirits on his face, showing his sharpness.

The school lieutenant hurriedly squatted down and picked up the letter of appointment on the ground, and boldly opened it up to take a look, scared to pee...

He is really the third son of the eldest grandson's family, and he came to Yangzhou this time to take up the post of Biejia.

He carefully calculated in his mind, not to mention the other party's Gao Shan Yang Zhi's family background, but to say that the other party's job in Yangzhou is not something he can easily offend.

Immediately, he smiled and handed the letter of appointment back to the eldest grandson Yumo, and said with a sneer: "The lowly official has eyes that don't recognize gold and jade, and has taken the heart of a leopard and dared to interrogate the eldest grandson. The third son came to Yangzhou. The humble official did not receive the news, forgive the sin. Let it go, come on, set up the log and let the eldest grandson and his entourage pass."

In an instant, the checkpoint was cleared, and Changsun Yumo let out a cold snort and led Guo Ye and three hundred soldiers through the checkpoint one after another.

Just as the last two people carrying the stretcher were about to pass by, suddenly a government soldier whispered something in the captain's ear, and the captain's face changed suddenly and he raised his hand and shouted: "These two brothers, please stay!"

shuh~~

Not only were these two soldiers who were responsible for carrying the stretcher, but even Guo Ye and Changsun Yumo who had passed the checkpoint stopped, and everyone's eyes turned to the stretcher.

Guo Ye glanced at the eldest Sun Yumo, and said in a low voice, "Look, luckily I made preparations in time. Let's see mine next."

With that said, he returned to the checkpoint and came to the stretcher.

Seeing that Guo Ye was the attendant of the eldest Sun Yumo, the school captain asked Guo Ye, "What is your duty, please ask the two stretcher-carrying brothers to take off their bamboo hats."

clap~

The bamboo hat fell to the ground twice, and the two soldiers showed their faces. The captain asked his soldiers to compare them with the portraits.

Soon, the comparison was completed, and it was not Chen Jitao in the portrait.

But the school lieutenant didn't seem to be interested in the two soldiers carrying the stretcher, but the person lying on the stretcher covered with a white cloth.

Then he pointed to the stretcher and asked, "Who is lying here? It is covered from head to toe with a white cloth, exuding a stench. Could it be that this person is dead?"
