Chapter 176 Banquet(1/2)

Chapter 176 Beverage

Yesterday, the bandits were wiped out, and nearly 200 corpses were handed over to the hands of the Five City Military and Masjids. Such a major case occurred at the foot of the emperor. The Five City Military and Masjids and the Jingying camp were extremely nervous and immediately strengthened the control of the capital. The people who entered and left the city were under strict investigation. The Ministry of Justice, the Third Factory and one guard of the Three Warriors came out one after another and searched for the news.

The court did not want the people to hear the news of a large group of bandits attacking important officials at night during the New Year to prevent people from storming their hearts. However, this had a counterproductive effect, and various versions of the strange stories among the people were scattered.

As soon as Gao Laozhuang visited relatives and friends, the story gradually became unified. It is said that there were a large group of bandits from the north, all of whom were tall green forest heroes, who could be worth one hundred. Last night, they came to the Nei Factory to cause trouble, and the army was wiped out by thousands of people in the Nei Factory. They also said that the dead bandit leader was named Yang Hu, two meters tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. He killed hundreds of Nei Factory actors alone, and was finally shot into a sieve by a magic musket. This news became the hottest topic of the people who visited relatives and friends during the Little New Year.

According to Liu Biao and Yang Yiqing's intention, he wanted to turn the entire Gaolaozhuang into a military camp to prevent Yang Hu and his wife from returning, but Yang Ling refused to agree. He said that today's Little New Year, the people visit relatives and friends. Even in normal times, there is no reason to restrict the people's access. This is Gaolaozhuang, not the Neiji Factory, but the Weiwu Bo lives in the Zhuangzi, but not the people in the Zhuangzi live in the inner factory.

In helplessness, Liu Biao and the others had to loosen the outside and tighten the inside. Although the people who came and visited relatives in the village could not help but no one came forward to interrogate, there were secret staff around the Weiwu Bo Mansion, and they were strictly guarded.

The bodies of the bandits who were shot to death in Lu'ao were carried back, and there was no Yang Hu inside. At the 3rd hour, the Jinyiwei Beizhenfushi Shao Jiewu sent someone to send news. They caught a wounded and fled thief, who was afraid of death. However, they could not stand the various tortures of Jinyiwei. After biting his tongue and committing suicide, he failed and enjoyed two kinds of tortures, he revealed the truth.

It was God's will that Yang Hu escaped last night. It turned out that Yang Hu was shot in his thigh. His wounds were torn and blood flowed continuously during the fierce battle. He rushed out of the encirclement and ran for three miles. With his strong body, he could not bear it. The four confidants around him had to help him hide in the cemetery on the roadside, bandaged the wounds and waited for the brothers to pick up the horses.

Unexpectedly, there was a faint sound of fried beans. A thief sneaked to investigate. Peng Jizu was leading the soldiers to happily collect the bodies and sort out the horses. Seeing that the situation was not good, the thief immediately returned to report to Yang Hu, and the few fled in panic.

In the early morning, they fled into an unknown small village, robbed three mules and horses, and two confidants fled with Yang Hu. The remaining two fled in dispersion. The man was in a panic and was found suspicious by the Jinyiwei. After a brief questioning, the thief suddenly became injured. He killed and injured six or seven Jinyiwei and was finally caught back because he was outnumbered.

After hearing the news, Yang Ling thought that Yang Hu's biggest possibility was to escape back to his nest. He ordered his subordinates to notify the Ministry of Justice and ask them to go to the state of Wenba and ask the local government to investigate the case strictly. The matter was arranged properly. Yang Ling returned to the mansion to welcome the guests invited to the banquet today.

Although there were tensions inside and outside the capital, the Yang Mansion was full of joy. Wu Jie, Huang Qiyin, Yu Yong, Peng Jizu, Lian Delu, Feng Tang, and even Liu Biao, who arranged the guards properly, and Yang Yiqing were all the backbone of Yang Ling. Only when Yang Ling did his best to develop the inner factory can the inner factory develop so quickly.

After more than half a year of bloody storms and fighting side by side, these people advanced and retreated together. Now they are an indestructible interest group, and Yang Ling has trusted them very much.

Wu Jie, Huang Qiyin, and Yu Yong have all brought their family members. Wu Jie has no children and only comes with his wife. Mrs. Huang has brought his young grandson. Yu Yong's eldest daughter is married and has brought his wife, second daughter and third daughter. The three Dusi family members in the Genshin Ji Camp are all outside the country and usually live in the mountains. Occasionally, they go to the city to enjoy the gentleness of Huajie Street and Liuxiang. It is very convenient to come to the banquet.

Han Youniang and Yu'er, Xue'er usually do a casual manner, and lightly dress up. Home decorations are at most beads on their ears. Today, there are many guests, and they are also dressed in gorgeous clothes and makeup, accompanying Yangling, as delicate as flowers and as smooth as jade.

Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Wu, and Mrs. Yu was over fifty years old and was polite. When she saw three imperial ladies from the court, she hurriedly stepped forward to worship, which made the three little girls blush with embarrassment, and hurriedly stepped forward to help them up.

Mrs. Yu Yong is also a man with a high nose and deep eyes, a blonde hair, and a man with a beautiful face. Except for Han Youniang, these women are all knowledgeable and do not think it is surprising, but the wife's two unmarried daughters stood beside her mother, and she had a little glance.

They were tall, and they were half a head smaller than Gao Wenxin and Cheng Qiyun. Their blonde hair was soft and covered with gauze, only a pair of dark blue eyes that looked brighter. The cherry lips under the gauze were faintly visible.

The sisters were wearing double-breasted narrow-sleeved silk shirts, colorful and woven armor on the outside, and a pair of light green trousers below, which made the charming figure look plump and gentle. The slender and plump thigh curves under the thin trousers seemed extremely exaggerated. As soon as they walked, their hips were gently swinging, and they turned out to be enchanting, piercing straight into people's hearts.

In the Ming Dynasty, women liked to wear armored skirts when they went out, and very few people wore thin trousers or wide-mouthed pants when they went out. They could see a pair of such exotic beauties wearing even less. Su San and Xue Limei secretly wanted to win, but under their plump breasts, on the full moon buttocks that seemed twice as big as themselves, and their enchanting waist was so thin that it made them jealous, which made them secretly ashamed.

They didn't know that the sisters used a waist that could make people die, otherwise how slender the waist would be able to compare with their slim waists. Yang Ling welcomed them in, Cheng Qiyun and Gao Wenxin also came up with a smile. With Han Youniang, she agreed to face the girl's guest while guiding them through the side corridor and leading them to the back house.

Yang Ling accompanied eight people into the central hall. The charcoal was peeling soundly in the brazier, and the finest charcoal mixed with spices burned the room with a faint fragrance. The housekeeper had already arranged tables and chairs.

Everyone sat down on the chair, drinking tea and talking for a while, Yang Ling smiled and said, "Old Wu, Mr. Huang, brothers and colleagues. Yang has received all the help from you, and now the inner factory can do it vigorously. Today, in the Little New Year, Yang invited all the good brothers to the mansion to gather together to express Yang's respect and gratitude to all colleagues. I hope you and my brothers will walk with you and make achievements in the future. Our inner factory..."

He pointed to the red flame in the charcoal basin and said, "Our local factories are like this charcoal fire, flourishing and thriving with our joint efforts."

Lian Delu laughed and said, "The factory supervisor is so polite. If you don't have you in charge of the factory, how could it be today's prestige? Sometimes I go back to the Shenji Camp to go shopping. Those old colleagues are very respectful and envious when they see Beizhi. I will definitely not be wrong to follow you."

There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and Peng Delu nodded seriously with his big belly and said, "This is true. In fact, when I first met the master, I saw him climbing to the general stage, and he was so majestic and majestic, and I felt that the master was definitely not a thing in the pool. Old Peng's vision was indeed not bad."

When he said seriously, even Feng Tang, who had always been dull and little talkative, couldn't help laughing. Yang Ling looked at him with a smile and teased, "It's not necessarily true? I was questioned by General Bao and led you to worship Liu Qianhu at the time. When I climbed to the general stage, I think you, Old Peng, seem to be reluctant to kneel down. Could it be that your belly is too big and it's difficult to kneel down?"

Peng Jizu's face turned red when he said it. He quickly slapped his belly when he heard the last sentence and said, "That's right, the factory governor is wise and humble. Hey, it's a big belly that gets in the way."

"Haha. Everyone laughed even harder. Liu Biao and Yang Yiqing couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion when they heard this. Men are afraid of entering the wrong career and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. But half a year ago, they were still a small lieutenant of Jinyi. They followed Yang Ling, but they were so successful. Now even the Admiral Jinyi should be treated three points when he sees him. Others may not be able to get promoted if they have to survive for thirty years.

Yang Ling and everyone laughed a little and said, "He Cheng second-level head is a woman, so it is not convenient to drink with everyone. Now I'm going to the backyard to accompany my wife, so we don't need to..."

Peng Jizu smiled loudly and said, "It's better if she's not here. Last time she went to the factory for a walk. Her peach blossom eyes glanced at me, which made me, Lao Peng, my heart beat like a lot and I didn't have a quiet day..."

Lian Delu raised his left elbow and hit his right flank with a slam, knocking Old Peng into a slight slight whirlwind, then he turned his breath and said, "You poop, you're drunk before you even drink, why are you hitting me?"

Lian Delu winked and said, "It's purely accidental, haha, I'll punish you three times later."

Liu Biao, Yang Yiqing couldn't help but lower his head and smiled. Wu Jie stroked his beard and smiled and glanced at Yang Ling without saying a word. Yang Ling saw Yu Yong whispering a few words to Peng Jizu. Old Peng's fat face suddenly turned into a pig's liver. He glanced at him nervously, and became embarrassed without realizing it.

In modern society, people are happy to talk about this kind of thing, not to mention that in that era, a woman who was more charming and charming, wouldn’t there be no rumors?

Yang Ling coughed twice, pretending not to see it, and continued, "In addition, I will introduce you to a friend, Han Chao!"

Wu Hanchao flashed out of the heart of the inner script, held his fists and bowed to everyone, saying, "Wu Hanchao has seen you all."

When everyone saw that it was Yang Ling personally introduced him, they did not dare to be careless, so they quickly stood up to see him. Yang Ling signaled Wu Hanchao to sit down and said with a smile: "Hanchao is the young master of Chengdu Tongzhi Lord Wu Wending, and he is a real disciple of Wudang Mountain. Yun Wen and Wu, and his art is very good.

The Nei Factory was just established, and the talent was short of people. I was eager to seek talent. Fortunately, I met Han Chao. He had agreed to help me and join the Nei Factory to work together. Han Chao will be your colleagues in the future. Today, you will meet first, and we will work together through thick and thin and hardships."

After Yang Ling said that, he clapped his hands and the servants delivered the dishes one by one. For a while, the eight treasures and fruits were all in the water and land, and they were very rich. The exquisite blue and white porcelain plates were placed on the smooth and smooth tabletop. The little maid Yingying stepped forward to fill the wine cups one by one, and retreated to serve the marquis.

Yang Ling raised his glass and stood up and said, "At the banquet, regardless of the position, Huang Lao and Wu Lao are the oldest. I will first respect the two elders, and then respect Peng, Lian, Feng and other brothers. Today we must have fun and never return without getting drunk."

Huang Qiyin and Wu Jie quickly stood up and thanked them. Everyone stood up with Yang Ling to toast them. The two old men were so grateful to Yang Ling for such courtesy. They raised their necks and drank all the glass of Chinese wine, lit the bottom of the glass to everyone before they sat down with a smile.

Yang Ling also drank the wine in his glass in one sip before sitting down slowly. Today, the wine is soft and sweet, with a fragrance left in his mouth and cheeks. It is an authentic Xifeng wine. It tastes like it is not very strong at first, but the remaining energy is not small. Yang Ling is unable to drink, so he simply goes straight to the point and toast two glasses first, and then lets Peng Jizu and others eat and drink, and shouts and drinks.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Wu Jie turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Sir, I heard that the Jinyiwei caught a thief who escaped the net in the morning and came to report the news to you?"

Yang Ling laughed in surprise and said, "Old Wu's eyes and ears are getting better and better. Someone came from the yamen of the tutoring office. You will know the details immediately. Yes, Shao Jiewu did send someone to come here. Speaking of this matter, I remembered something. Mr. Wu's investigation direction seemed to focus on civil and military officials. Although most of the news in the folk are deserted, some of them are very valuable. We still don't know much about Yang Hu until now, so we should pay more attention to this aspect in the future."

Wu Jie replied: "Yes, because the internal factory has just established an intelligence network, and there is no spare time to extend its tentacles to every corner. I am worried that there are still officials in the court that are not good for the adults, so I intend to ask the spies to put their spirits in the court, and we will gradually pay attention to the affairs of the world."

Yang Ling nodded, and Wu Jie said again: "I heard that the Jinyiwei was attacked. The Tiqi was working hard everywhere. In order to capture the thief, he injured six or seven people. Can you tell me why the Jinyiwei worked so hard?"

Yang Ling's eyes froze and asked quietly: "Is there any other love inside?"

Wu Jie smiled mysteriously and said, "If you are kind to others, you will have something to ask for. Zhang Xiu, the Jinyiwei, originally clinging to the East Factory, and Mou Bin's party was extremely dissatisfied with his humble behavior. Therefore, after Mou Bin took power, he deliberately kept a distance from the East Factory, the West Factory, and the inner factory to keep the Jinyiwei from being controlled by the Third Factory. Now he has tried his best to sell the favor of the adults, and of course he has ulterior motives."

Yang Ling poured another cup for Wu Jie and pondered: "Well, the Jinyiwei walked with us during this period, but he spared no effort to assist us in investigating the smuggling of coastal officials, gentry, gentry and wealthy people. Mou Bin and Shao Jiewu tried his best to help us catch thieves, what is the purpose of?"

Wu Jie chuckled and said, "This is just a speculation of humiliating skills. Two irrelevant things are linked together and speculated. However, judging from the active actions of the Jinyiwei, it seems that only this matter can make sense."

He licked his lips and chuckled, "Dai Xian and twenty-one others wrote a letter to ask the emperor to keep Liu Jian. Do you still remember Xie Qian's affairs?"

Yang Ling frowned and said, "Aren't those imperial officials and censors locked up for a while and sent home? Yang Yiqing, who was the most quarrel, was also protected by me and sent to Datong to lead troops. Why are there someone coming to cause trouble again?"

Wu Jie smiled and said, "It's not that, the aftermath has not subsided. When Dai Xian and others were arrested in the Jinyiwei, they wrote the lyrics of imprisonment when they were in prison, claiming that Liu Jin was a Quan eunuch. When they were sent to the palace, Liu Jin was very dissatisfied and did not dare to submit it directly to the emperor. They sent it back to the Jinyiwei and asked them to change the confession and submit it. Mou Bin was furious and said that the Jinyiwei had never changed the precedent of the imperial criminal's confession and deceived the emperor. He insisted on not following it. The two stalemates had been in stalemate for many days."

"Gu Dayong once came forward to mediate, but Mou Bin was like riding a tiger's back. At this time, he would be in disgrace before he bowed his head and was defeated. In desperation, he had to find an excuse to run to the south to avoid the limelight.

A few days ago, Zhou Xi, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and Yang Yuan, the guard of Wushi, were shot to death by Liu Jinting. The reason was revealed to be corrupt and neglected official duties. In fact, it was because they had a close relationship with the Jinyiwei, which was to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys."

Yang Ling leaned on the back of the chair and pondered for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It won't take long to say that. Shao Zhenfu is going to let me mediate again? The rectification of all officials made the Grand Secretary take the lead in kneeling at the palace gate. The bad debts were not clear yet. This is a sign of separation from the Jinyiwei again. Alas! Liu Jin, Liu Jin, this Eunuch Liu is really energetic. Does he think that with the support of the emperor, he can be without any scruples?"

Peng Jizu was drunk and his eyes were blurred. He heard a few words, and then he smiled with his tongue: "Eunuch Liu? Uh...... Of course he is full of energy. He has the energy but cannot be taken to the women. Of course, he has to find some hard work to do."

Even Delu drank a monkey butt with a slim face, and laughed and said, "Old Peng is talking nonsense again. If this is spread, you will suffer."

Peng Jizu glared and said, "Who can tell me? Is it you? Or you?" He lit his thick and fat fingers. He pointed it straight under Yang Ling's nose, and then he realized something was wrong. He couldn't help but smile, grabbed a glass of wine and tweeted.

Yang Ling smiled and lowered his head and pondered: "The invasion of the Tartars in the north. Using troops is a major national event. The lifting of bans and trading along the coast, and the elimination of Japanese pirates requires the court to be united in sincerity and unity between the inside and outside. At this time, the factory guards attacked each other and appealed to each other is not a good thing. It seems that this peacemaker has to do it."

"No!" Huang Qiyin and Wu Jie were listening quietly to each other. Liu Biao, Wu Hanchao and others who were far away were raising their glasses to drink. When they heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

The two scheming guys quickly lowered their voices, and Huang Qiyin said: "Sir, being a good person is not necessarily a good thing. You must not interfere. If Shao Jiewu comes to the door, you will also refuse the words. When they have to understand the outcome, you must not come forward."

"Huh?" Yang Ling was young after all, and the human relationship accident was far less than these two people who had been in the officialdom for many years. The old man, who was so excluded, couldn't help but look at him in confusion.

Wu Jie said: "I am worried that the Jinyiwei will come to the adults, so I intend to raise it to the adults. This matter is related to the prestige of the Jinyiwei and the Silijian. With the influence of the adults, if you express your support to one side, the other side can only swallow your anger.

But no matter how tactful and polite the Lord said, if you persuade Liu Jin to give in and let the Jinyiwei present the confession with the power to the emperor in a dignified manner, not only will Liu Jin hold a grudge, but the eight tigers in the inner court will be in a grudge. If you persuade Mou Bin to change the confession, the prestige he had worked hard to establish in the Jinyiwei would plummet."

Huang Qiyin nodded and said, "One side must give in this bad battle. If the adults mediate, the one who gives in will take his anger on the adults. Therefore... the adults should stay out of the matter and let them turn the world upside down. When one side is defeated, the adults will come forward to clean up the mess, even if they only provide a little help to protect their safety. They will be grateful if they suffer all their hardships."

Yang Ling looked around and nodded silently. The officials were intrigued and intrigued. He had already realized the coldness and ruthlessness of the matter. He sighed and said, "Forget it, Mou Bin has been hiding out. It seems that the official has to go out to hide.

Liu Jin is the chief leader of the Sili Supervisory Commission. There are many affairs in the palace these days, so he will not be able to take time to force the Jinyiwei. I will go to see the emperor tomorrow. The swearing with the three guards of Duoyan cannot be delayed for too long. I want to ask the emperor to send a royal family member who can represent the imperial family in the court to Datong after the New Year. I will go with him and let him go to the capital."

A banquet was over, and the dusk was dark, and most of the people in the hall were drunk. Peng, Lian, were dragged to death by his personal soldiers and then fell down. The captain of the personal soldiers had to smile bitterly and greet the powerful and strong man who carried the two drunken feet back to the mountain.

Feng Tang was also staggering, but it was easy to move, so he also dismissed Yang Ling. The old housekeeper went to the back hall to inform Youniang and invited all the female guests to come out. The banquet in the backyard had already been withdrawn. Youniang accompanied the guests to chat in the flower hall. After hearing the news, he hurriedly accompanied the female guests to the front hall.

Han Youniang arranged for her family to take gifts and follow her behind. She was the hostess of the Yang family and had the right to give gifts, but today Yang Ling was thanking her colleagues in the inner factory, so she asked Cheng Qiyun to help select some generous and decent gifts for her husband to give them to her in person.

After hearing the young lady's whisper, Yang Ling smiled and walked up to Wu Jie and others and said, "The New Year is approaching, and Yang has prepared some meager gifts to give. I hope Mr. Wu, Mr. Huang, and Lord Yu will not refuse."

Yang Ling took a bag from the servant and presented it to Huang Qiyin with his hands and said, "Old Huang, it's cold, and Mr Huang doesn't practice martial arts. He travels back and forth all day long to the mountain in the mansion, afraid of being cold. There are two lanterns here, which are light and warm. I will give them to Mr Huang and his wife's velvet coat."

Lanzhou lantern is famous for its vernacular and is made of cashmere. One piece weighs only 14 taels, it is thin and exquisite, as smooth as silk, soft and close to the body, and is extremely warm. Yangling's two velvet cloths are lighter and more light. It seems to be the best among lanterns. Although it is not expensive to Yangling, it shows that it is caring and caring. Huang Qiyin happily took it over.

Yang Ling bent down and touched Huang Qiyin's young grandson's head, and smiled and said, "The little guy has grown taller again. Have you hired a sir?"

The little guy said obediently: "Uncle Yang... Hello, sir. Grandpa has no time to teach me how to write and read, so he hired me a gentleman. The gentleman is not as good as grandpa, and sometimes he has to hold his palms."

Yang Ling laughed, and everyone next to him couldn't help but smile. Yang Ling smiled and said, "If you study well, no one will hit you with your palm." He touched the jade on his waist, and the jade was bright and bright, which seemed to be a precious top-notch. Yang Ling stuffed it into his hand and said, "Hey, the New Year gift you have given you, you will grow up and grow taller quickly, study hard and learn skills. If you become an official in the future, you will only hit others' palms, and others will not hit you."

Yang Ling stood up and took another gift and said to Wu Jie: "Old Wu, these are two pieces of Su silk, one piece of Tianzhu blanket, and there is also a jar of medicinal wine here. Mr. Wu is the son and nephew of Wu Qingyuan, the niece of Wu's old miracle doctor, and he has a family background and knows medical skills. But since your place can never heal the old cold legs, you might as well try my jar of medicinal wine."

Wu Jie looked at Gao Wenxin, who was standing beside him with knowledge and smiled, "I think it was done by a goddess doctor? Wu Jie was ashamed of being a nephew of the medical family. In addition to the ancestral prescriptions, he still remembered some of them. He only had a little understanding of medical skills. The factory governor and Miss Gao bothered."

Yu Yong was flirting with his business as soon as he talked about business, but no one was willing to talk to him about these things tonight. He had to drink while planning the business of horses in the northwest, furs in the northeast, and salt cooking along the coast. The more he calculated, the more he felt that the profit was extremely rich. He could enjoy himself drinking and drinking. At this time, he could only maintain a steady state of drinking with his subordinates.

Yang Ling didn't dare to be careless about the God of Wealth. He held the three brocade boxes and said, "Brother Yu is knowledgeable and I don't know what to give. There are three sets of jewelry here. Although it is not expensive, the workmanship is exquisite. I give it to my wife and Ling Yuan."

Yu Yong recognized Yang Ling as a soulmate who knew people with wise eyes. He didn't care about the things he gave to the floor, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, sir. No, Liu Liu. Come forward and thank you sir."

The two girls hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down, and said in a sweet voice: "No, Liu Liu thanked Lord Yang." They lifted their veils when they were in the back house, and once they came out, they covered their faces. At this time, the veil had already covered their faces again.

There were so many people when they came. Although Yang Ling felt that the two girls were moving in shape, she did not pay much attention. Only then did she pay attention to their green clothes, narrow sleeves, tighter than armor, thin trousers, and a layer of gauze on her face, only a pair of bright blue eyes were exposed, and she looked at her brightly beneath her curved and long eyebrows, which was extremely charming.

Han Youniang took the brocade box from Yang Ling and handed it to two tall girls. She smiled and said, "The two sisters are very beautiful, and these two sets of jewelry are still to suit your wishes." The two girls bowed again, and took the brocade box with a smile.

Yang Ling smiled and said, "Well, then it must be the second sister, but Liu Liu is the third sister. Brother Yu, is what I said right?"

Yang Ling was not as young as the one who was young, but he kept saying goodbye to Brother Yu, and regarded himself as the uncle of two girls. A girl with blue eyes as blue as a lake was covered and chuckled: "Mrs. Yang called my sister, but Lord Yang called my father, Brother Yu, father, you are the best at arithmetic, but you don't know how to calculate this account?"
