It is a famous capital in Huaizuo, and it is a beautiful place in the west of Zhuxi.

Jiang Baishi's poem "Yangzhou" was slow, and it told all the romantic scenery of Yangzhou. I would like to ask where Yangzhou is, the west end of the Huainan Jiangbeihai. Three parts of the world are bright moonlit nights, and two parts of the rogue is Yangzhou. Since ancient times, Yangzhou has been a place where literati and poets linger, and it is also a place where the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and the Yangtze River meet, and it is also a water and land transportation hub. The annual taxes are no less than Suzhou in Southern Zhili Province.

When Xiao Jinyan and Dongfang Nuannuan carriage arrived in Yangzhou, it was two days later. In the past two days, although they were not worried, they were still energetic, fearing that the people from Yixiaotang would chase him again. Xiao Jinyan had traveled all over the world, but this was the first time they came to Yangzhou.

It was early morning, and the city gate had not opened yet. There were long queues outside the door. Some were passing business trips, and some were people around carrying new fruits and vegetables. After opening the city gate, they entered the city for a good price. The city gate was bustling outside, and it was very lively.

Xiao Jinyan has been in Suzhou for a long time and can barely understand Suzhou dialect. When he arrived in Yangzhou, he was confused when he was in Java. He was different from the sounds of five miles and different from the customs of ten miles. As a result, someone came to talk to him, which made him think that the other party was going to quarrel with him and made him feel dirty.

The city gate opened, a group of soldiers left the city gate, and everyone began to enter the city.

Xiao Jinyan was a little strange. If he entered the city on a regular basis, the officers and soldiers would usually interrogate, pay some entry fee, or collect some taxes from the goods, and then let them go. But for some reason, the officers and soldiers were investigated very strictly today. In this case, either tax increases or catches thieves.

A lieutenant rode a horse to the city gate and shouted, "Brothers, let me know a little bit of the tricks. We have received a tip. A spy from Western Chu scrambled into Yangzhou City and was doing something wrong. If you encounter suspicious people, you must investigate it strictly!"

The officers and soldiers responded and cheered up.

The city gate tax has existed since the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty also adopted this tax system, which is not heavy in twenty lessons. However, the controlled salt, iron, tea, silk, etc., requires strict control of the official quotation or the official documents issued by the government. Although the city gate officials have no qualities and orders, they can also act cheaply as needed during the specific implementation of the city gate tax. This gives them an opportunity to take advantage of, and ordinary people look down on them, but when merchants come in and out of the city, they can pay taxes as long as they open their eyes and close their eyes to the number of official quotations, they can even take advantage of it, and even take the opportunity to sleep a few more girls. This is also common.

Xiao Jinyan also understood that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and every time there are such a critical moment, there are many such "spy" and "rebels" and are used to it.

Before Xiao Jinyan was reached, the people in front were already complaining.

"What? Three hundred citations? Usually it's 30 citations. Master, I only sell all cabbages for three hundred citations!"

The city gate official ignored him, "I would like to enter, but I don't want to enter, I will get out, the next one."

The horse-riding captain stepped forward and whipped the city gate official and cursed, "The people are our parents of food and clothing. How do you talk? We eat the salary of the court. When we encounter problems, don't avoid it, but think of solutions. Do you understand!"

The city gate official did not expect the boss to react so much, covering his hot face and did not dare to speak. The captain said to the old man, "Old man, this is just a holiday. The tax was set by the Lord of the Mansion. We can't waive you. You usually have a pound of cabbage, but today you can sell three cents per pound. If you count it like this, you still have to make a profit!"

When the old man heard this, he thought to himself that he paid 300 words obediently and sighed, "The tax is more powerful than the tiger."

The captain also sneered, "You just say that the people are suffering. We who work as workers will not live well. We all have to take care of you. Who will do anything with you without meat? We have to take care of you, too, if we have to take care of our superiors, otherwise why should we get you up to the Qing dynasty at the end of the year? The main hall at home always needs to change clothes, and we have to keep a profit for the house, right? Our money is not blown by the strong wind, and there must be someone who is unlucky, who is not?"

After hearing this, Xiao Jinyan thought to himself that this guy is not very official, but there are quite a lot of fallacies.

Although everyone complained about the tax increase today, most of them still paid as much as possible.

In the Ming Dynasty, if you enter and exit nearby prefectures and counties, it would be simple to register with your accent. If you are a person from another country, if you want to enter the city, you either have a road guide issued by the government to prove your identity, or have a guarantor in the city to prevent you from committing evil after entering the city. Of course, this is not absolute. Some fake road guides, some bribe city officials, and some people in the martial arts world, who come and go, and want to enter the city, there are many ways to do it.

When Xiao Jinyan was in Dengwenyuan, he made a lot of blank road guides, but he didn't expect that today would come in handy.

After checking Lu Yin, the soldier asked, "Who are you, where are you from and where are you going?"

Xiao Jinyan said that your question is so profound. A senior named Su never answered these three questions in his life.

那兵丁刚才挨了揍,正憋着满肚子火气,见萧金衍油嘴滑舌,更是不顺眼,道:“我看你贼眉鼠眼,一看就不是善类,还不从实招来,听你口音,不像是本地人,莫非是西楚的谍子?”

Xiao Jinyan was about to get angry, but when he thought that Dongfang Nuannuan was still in the car, he didn't want to fight with them, so he whispered, "Official, borrow one step to talk." The soldier said sarcastically, "I'm very expensive. If you borrow one step and get three steps, can you afford it?"

Having said that, I followed Xiao Jinyan to a secluded place, "Why, if you want to bribe me, then hurry up, I am very busy."

Xiao Jinyan took out the waist sign of the supervisor of the Dengwenyuan from his arms and said, "Come and take a look at this thing?"

Dengwenyuan is a secret agency directly belonging to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It is extremely powerful. Even if you are in the capital, you can enter and exit the residences of officials below the third rank. Officials below the fifth rank can be executed first and then report. Xiao Jinyan thought that if you take out this thing, the other party would have to give face.

The soldier was in Yangzhou City, 100,800 miles away from the capital. How could he know about Dengwenyuan? He looked at the black waist sign and said, "It's neither gold nor silver, let's make a piece of wood to fool me?"

"I'm asking the official to see the words on it!"

The Bingding scolded, "I can't read, you can't tell me!"

Xiao Jinyan thought about the seriousness you were just checking Lu Yin, and it turned out that they were all pretending.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, there were not many military officials and soldiers in the army who could read. Many officers who became generals were also illiterate, so the court often used civil officials to command military generals. The only exception was the Grand Governor Yuwen Tianlu.

It is said that Yuwen Tianlu had the chance to rank first in the imperial examination. Later, because of a woman, he offended Sun Qingshan, the Minister of Rites of the Ministry of Rites, and was abolished. In anger, he abandoned his literature and military affairs and gradually ascended the position of Grand Commander. Later, Sun Qingshan's family was retaliated by Yuwen Tianlu, and they had a wave of quality three consecutive years, peeled, filled with grass, and lit sky lanterns, and died miserable.

"Then what do you know?"

"I am a vulgar person, so I know silver. If I have it, I will take it out and don't be rude."

Xiao Jinyan said you would have to say that you would have done it. I’m still rushing to treat my sister. After that, he said to Dongfang Nuannuan in the car, “Girl, please get some more silver.” Dongfang Nuannuan handed a piece of silver from the car, Xiao Jinyan took it and gave it respectfully with both hands, “Official, please be open to peace.”

The soldier glanced at him. His boss was basking in the sun not far away. He was about to pick him up and asked again, "What disease does your sister have?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Leprosy."

As soon as these words were said, there was no one around within three meters. Even the people behind them, who heard that there were lepers in the car, hid far away. Xiao Jinyan said, "Official, please accept the money?" The soldier shook his head quickly and left quickly, don't get in the way here."

Xiao Jinyan said you won’t accept it, don’t blame me for being ungrateful.

In this way, the two of them entered the city, and Dongfang Nuannuan smiled in the car, "Brother Xiao, your move just now was so insidious."

Xiao Jinyan said that if it weren't for this, maybe the other party would be embarrassed by us. If the city gate official saw that you were as beautiful as a flower and insisted on stealing you to go home to be a wife, wouldn't I bet?

Dongfang Nuannuan sighed, "If it were as beautiful as a flower, that would be great."

Xiao Jinyan said, "Don't worry, we will arrive in Yangzhou City and wait to find Dr. Xue to see if he can cure your illness."

Dongfang Nuannuan asked, "Brother Xiao, will we be separated when we arrive at Doctor Xue?"

It was only a few days from Suzhou to Yangzhou, but the two of them experienced a lot of things together and had long become good friends who could talk about everything. However, Dongfang Nuannuan was almost in the car on the grounds of being sick. Even if she stayed in a hotel, she still covered her face with an embroidered hat and thick gauze, and refused to show her true face.

Although I haven't met each other, Xiao Jinyan has already regarded Nuannuan as a girl in the past few days, so he comforted him: "When I arrive at Dr. Xue, you can treat the disease with peace of mind first. I have to deal with some things in Yangzhou."

Thinking of what Chuanjian said, before Vancouver died, he was going to see someone in Yangzhou, and that man had evidence of Yuwen Tianlu collusion with Xi Chu. If this was the case, Yuwen Shuang would also come to Yangzhou City at this moment, it would probably be more than a coincidence.

Dongfang Nuannuan seemed to have no confidence in Doctor Xue, but Elder Liu was dead, and his father was missing when he went to Shujian Mountain. The entire Light God Cult has long been broken. She was weak since childhood and was sentimental. Now she is in this world, with no relatives and the only person who cares about her is about to leave. She couldn't help but feel sad and sobbed.

A woman's tears are the most powerful martial arts in the world.

Although Xiao Jinyan was possessed of his unique skills, he could not resist this move.

He quickly comforted, "Don't worry, I will come to Yangzhou to see you when my work is done."

Dongfang Nuannuan said: "At that time, maybe I had been killed by Yuwenshuang."

Xiao Jinyan said, "You can rest assured that no one in the world dares to offend the Six-Fingered Doctor."

This is true. Who has not had a three-in-one illness or two pain in the world? Five-in-one labor and seven injuries? Get to know more a miracle doctor and make more incense. Although Dr. Xue recognizes money but not people, there are not many people who have inherited his feelings among the three lists of heaven, earth and man. What's more, Xue Bao, the six-finger miracle doctor, can save people and kill people.

Dr. Xue is very famous in Yangzhou City. When he asked someone for information, he asked where he went. The two drove to the Xue House in the east of the city. The Xue family covers an area of ​​about three or four acres and is surrounded by a high-long courtyard wall. I heard that Dr. Xue has a strange temper and a strange personality. He has always lived alone and has been with herbal medicine all year round.

Xiao Jinyan stepped forward and knocked on the door, but no one agreed.
