Chapter 94 Panyu Experience

Just like Li Jia went north, Huangshan, who was the Sima of Danzhou, wrapped up his family wealth and took his family with him. Seeing that something was wrong, he immediately boarded a boat that had been prepared, greased the soles of his feet, and went north. After breaking the city, he disappeared.

.

Unlike Li Jia who went north to Quanzhou, Huangshan went to Prince Xing's Mansion, taking with him the wealth he had accumulated for decades. He wanted to report Li Jia and Li Gao brothers, otherwise he would not be able to swallow the bad breath in his heart.

"My ancestors have been in Danzhou for decades. Now, I am just a lost dog. But, even if I risk my life, I will take a bite and make peace no longer possible."

As the ship gradually docked, Panyu was seen in front of the crowds of people. There were countless merchants from Panyu, and it was a prosperous scene. However, all of this still could not extinguish the hatred in his heart.

"This little tycoon from Jianwu Town actually reached out to Danzhou. I don't believe you can reach out to Panyu?"

"I'm going to report you. Since there is no place for my Huang family in Danzhou, you, Li Jia, can't even think of it!"

With a cold snort, Huangshan took Wutong and his family to the pier resolutely, without looking back, as if he wanted to forget Danzhou where he had lived for generations.

He rashly arrived at Panyu, where people were crowded and bumped into each other. The scene was extremely horrifying. Two or three bullock carts were hired to go to Panyu City.

Huang Sima was naturally prepared and had prepared a retreat early. This was a common tactic of this large family, and he was naturally no exception.

The mansion I bought is located in the west of the city. It can be considered a high-quality courtyard. It covers an area of ​​five or six acres. The land price is not cheap. It cost nearly 800 yuan to buy it. And this price was already ten years ago.

Nowadays, there are more than 1,500 Guan.

As the emperor continued to expand the palace, the inner city continued to expand outwards, squeezing out the residential buildings in Panyu City step by step. There were more residents outside the city than inside the city.

Having a residence in the city is already quite difficult.

After paying the city entry tax, it seemed that they were coming from somewhere else. Five ox carts were used to collect nearly five guan of money before they were allowed to enter. Moreover, the greedy eyes of the city gate guards made Huangshan feel bad.

"It's better to settle down as soon as possible!" He felt more and more hatred in his heart. If he were in Danzhou City, who would dare to collect the city entry tax from him? His hatred for Li Jia added another layer.

The bustling scene was more than ten times better than that of Danzhou. Two teenage sons were also sitting on the carriage, like mud-legged people who had never been in the city, looking around, constantly amazed.

"Aye, look, what kind of shops are these? The storefronts are dark and there are no signs, but the door is full of horse-drawn carriages!"

Hearing this, Huangshan looked around and saw that his son was right. This was an alley full of filth, full of strange but narrow shops. There was no signboard, and he didn't know what it was for, but it was full of people.

There are all kinds of oxcarts and carriages, some decorated with silk and satin, and some with patterns and brocades, which look extraordinary.

It happened that there were many people in front of the carriage, so the carriage slowly stopped, opened the curtain, and took a closer look.

I saw men with simple clothes coming down from the various carriages. Without exception, they were all wearing black robes, with their heads lowered and wearing bamboo hats. With the help of servants, they quickly entered the narrow and

In a dark shop.

After a while, there were bursts of miserable shouts, which penetrated deep into the bone marrow and penetrated into the eardrums. This voice was suffocated with a bit of hatred, and refreshing with a bit of coolness. Although it was resisted by layers of layers, it still remained.

I rushed to the street, feeling dull and painful.

This is a kind of pain that only men understand.

The dull sound reached his ears, Huangshan's legs unconsciously clamped, and his body trembled.

Soon, several men wearing bamboo hats were helped onto the carriage with their bodies weak and staggering. Although their faces were covered, they could still see the pain that penetrated their bones.

In the shallow ditch in front of the alley, there was a red trickle flowing, and the faint smell of blood could be smelled.

Just when he was about to take a closer look, the carriage suddenly started moving and left the painful place on the opposite side.

"Sir, it's not a good place to stay for a long time, don't look any further!" the driver of the cart shouted, but the speed of the cart was much faster.

"Why?" Huang Shan asked directly, his tone was harsh. Obviously, he had not yet transformed from his identity as an official.

"This is Ginseng Alley, also known as Guanti Alley. If you have no identity, you should not come here. You are not qualified to come here, and the store will not accept you!"

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Huangshan was very curious.

"Hehe! Common people like us can't even see the threshold!" With a different smile on his face, the coachman looked back and said with a smile:

"Those officials are all sanctimonious, but in private they all come here. For the sake of official position, isn't it just a matter of one blow? Just be patient and let it pass!"

"We untouchables will be of no use if we go!"

After several exchanges with this chatty coachman who inherited the emperor's arrogance and looked down upon the local rich, Huangshan finally figured out what was going on.

It turns out that a while ago, the young emperor living in the palace became obsessed with his thoughts and suddenly demanded that officials above the sixth rank must be castrated in order to retain their official positions, otherwise they would inevitably be removed from office and demoted.

All the officials were extremely resistant to this order, and it was immeasurable that many of them abandoned their posts and had their seals replaced. Many of the ministers, ministers, and prime ministers of the three provinces also left.

However, the temptation of power is too great, and those who are older and have a strong desire for power will naturally be willing to sacrifice themselves in exchange for a higher position of power.

Most of the officials chose that knife to keep their positions, which resulted in the creation of a large number of castrated hands. Some officials were tested by the unfamiliar castrated hands and many officials bled to death.

The always considerate young emperor specially set up a large number of official silkworm rooms in the bustling east of the city to castrate officials free of charge who wanted to continue serving the emperor.

After that, the trend of castration became more and more intense. After that stabbing, not only the sixth-rank officials and above, but also all the officials in Beijing were voluntarily castrated.

"Everyone in the dynasty is an insider!"

Those who have not been castrated are called outsiders and will never see the face of the emperor again, let alone the emperor.

Those low-level officials naturally cannot enjoy free treatment and have to pay out of their own pockets.

Therefore, in less than half a year, there are already hundreds of castration swordsmen making a living in Panyu City, and the scale is constantly expanding.

Because the young Majesty wants to build a palace again, the demand for eunuchs has greatly increased. Thanks to the fact that eunuchs have a higher status than civil servants and it is easier to advance, a large number of young people who are leisurely and "motivated" also want to

Take shortcuts.
