Part II Chapter 9 Taking office (2)
The "he" in the head of the soldier's head was nothing but Yang Yi. After the war in Shanghai, Zhou Lichun and Xu Yao were taken back to Shanghai and sentenced to a death sentence. The head was hung on the city gate for public display. In addition, Yang Yiyi refused to pursue democracy and was the maximum possible way for Yang Yi to do. As for Liu Lichuan and his brothers, Yang Yi chose some and added them to the army. Liu Lichuan and Yang Yi were also arranged to be the company commander.
The Shen family originally planned to hold a wedding on August 15th, but when the Shanghai quarreled, the matter was delayed. Now the matter was in Shanghai. The Shen family brought it up again and said that the world is in chaos and the marriage cannot be delayed for too long. They chose an auspicious day to do the wedding. Since the matter with the Shen sisters has become a fait accompli, Yang Yi did not refuse. However, when the Shen family proposed to hold a big show, Yang Yi advocated that it was a big deal and that the marriage should not be too big. The Shen sisters also agreed with Yang Yi's intention, so the wedding was very "simple", but it was a nine-day banquet in Shanghai. According to the wife of the Shen family, the banquet was for one month. Now it was really "simple", and it was not in line with the status of the Shen family.
Yang Yi never imagined that he would marry five women in the past, so Yang Yi first thanked the sandstorm afterwards, and then thanked the evil society for allowing himself to marry more wives without breaking the law.
Although the imperial edict had arrived long ago and asked Yang Yi to take office in Suzhou, Yang Yi stayed in Shanghai for an extra month because of his marriage. Until now, he brought more than a dozen brothers from the guards to take office in Suzhou. This time, when he came to Shanghai, several wives were going to come, but the company's business could not be managed without anyone, so he sent Shen Dieyi and Huo Xiaoyu to accompany Yang Yi.
What Zhao Laosan heard was Huo Xiaoyu, and the one who told Zhuzi not to worry about it was Shen Dieyi.
Yang Yi has never been to Suzhou himself and wants to not take office first. He will have fun for a few days. The two ladies have not come out to play for a long time, and they all agree with Yang Yi's idea. So Yang Yi asked everyone to wear casual clothes, but he didn't know that something happened at the city gate.
Since I want to have fun, of course I have to find an inn to stay. Yang Yi has a place to stay in an inn called Hongyun.
Suzhou is a typical water town city. It was still dark in the morning. Yang Yi was woken up by the sound of the boatman shaking on the river channel behind the inn. Looking out of the window, there was a heavy fog outside the window. In the fog, many women were washing things by the river. Women talked to each other in soft Wu language, and burst into a crisp laugh from time to time. There were dense houses on both sides of the river, and small boats shaking by the river from time to time.
The two ladies Yang looked very happy, so they dragged Yang Yi to have breakfast early, and when they were dressed up, they pulled Yang Yi to go out to the streets to have a good tour of Suzhou City. The two women pulled Yang Yi to walk in front, and Li Zhuzi followed behind with more than a dozen brothers from the guard company.
The small bridge, flowing water, and others, this Suzhou City is really like what is described in the poem. Walking along the river and feeling the fresh air in the morning, Yang Yi felt very comfortable.
"There is a bridge in front. The bridge is so beautiful in the fog!" Huo Xiaoyu pointed to the front and shouted.
"Yes, the small bridges and flowing water in Suzhou are all very famous." Shen Dieyi took the speech
"Oh? What's the famous thing about Suzhou? I only know that there is a Tang Bohu in Suzhou." Yang Yi asked
"There are many fun things in Suzhou, including Humble Administrator's Garden, Canglang Pavilion, Liuyuan Garden, Couple Garden, Lion Forest. Oh, I can't even tell if I open my mouth. Let's play with him slowly for a few days, won't we all know?" Chen Dieyi introduced excitedly.
"Have you been to all these places?" Yang Yi asked
"Where are these places, these are their private property, so how can I go there just by saying that? I have only been to Liuyuan. I took me with my father when I was a child. I have only heard of other places." Chen Dieyi said regretfully.
"It's okay, after our Lord Yang takes office, we can pretend to be powerful and have a good time." Huo Xiaoyu quickly came up with an idea.
"Look, let's take a look around Suzhou City first, let's see what's delicious, let's have a good time." Yang Yi expressed his opinion.
"Okay, I know, I know, the delicious food in Suzhou includes glutinous rice lotus root, sauce meat, and squirrel mandarin fish. I bought these in Shanghai. It's so delicious. I want to see how to compare with the original flavors in Suzhou?" Huo Xiaoyu was also excited when she thought of these delicious foods.
"What you said is not comprehensive. There are also Huang Tianyuan pastries in Suzhou, including water shield, pond slices, braised chicken with chestnuts, pine nuts, date paste cakes, shrimp roe and fish, etc.." The two women who said Yang Yi stared at him and said together.
"No, right?, haven't you been to Suzhou before? Why don't you stop talking about delicious food?"
"Haha, I've asked it out before I came." Yang Yixiao said:
"What are you waiting for? Find a place to eat quickly." One of the two women held Yang Yi's hand, and he had to cross the bridge to find something delicious.
"Quick, hurry up, after crossing the bridge in front, I'm here when I was a child."
"Stop it. You can't just pass the bridge. You have to pay the bridge fee." There were actually a few big men on the bridge head who set up a fee card.
"What rule is this? Why haven't I heard of it before?" Chen Dieyi stopped working and wanted to discuss it with these people.
"I am the rule set by our prefect, Lord Qian. Now the court is going to encircle and suppress the thieves. The army needs to pay the money, and the soldiers are going to have to have a meal. So in order to share the worries of the emperor, we are all paid by the Jiangnan camp in Suzhou. We said that the court is short of money now, so please forgive me. Each person who crosses the bridge will be ten cents." A guy led by the bridge said:
"Does it cost a fee if you cross the bridge?" Yang Yi asked coldly
"That's certain."
"Do you know how many bridges are in Suzhou?" Yang Yi's words also became stern.
"Hahaha." Several big men laughed proudly, "I want to know? That's easy to deal with. You'll be slow to pass by." As he said that, he pointed to Huo Xiaoyu frivolously and said, "If the little lady can play with her brothers, we brothers will be exempted from crossing the bridge fee."
"I think you are setting up a private road card and collecting fees randomly. Aren't you afraid of the king's laws?" Yang Yi asked again
"King Fa? Our brothers on this bridge are the kingly Fa. Even if the Emperor comes, I have to pay the money. How about it, little lady, please accompany you brothers." One of them reached out to hold Huo Xiaoyu's chin.
"I'm so brave, I'll take it down and send it to the prefect's office to handle it strictly." Yang Yi said sternly:
"Yes!! General." After a neat answer, Li Zhuzi brought the man from the bridge and twisted the men in just a few seconds.
