After being dressed as an old lady and having her mind read, the capital city went crazy

Ling Buqi sighed inwardly: I have to take care of this stupid woman. Don't let her end up with nothing.

While talking.

An Ming rode back, dismounted and handed the reins to An Yi beside him, then walked to Ling Buqi's side.

"Master, I have heard that Yang Gui, the governor of Binzhou, is Tan Fei's brother-in-law. I also heard that the bandits that have been giving headaches to several nearby prefectures also come from Mangshan. I have heard that the bandits in Mangshan have a good relationship with Yang Gui and Tan Fei."

When Jiang Yi heard the name, he hurried over.

"Is the Yang Gui mentioned by the Dark Deputy Commander a native of Lingnan?"

"Yes."

"We are classmates, not close friends, but we had a good relationship in the academy." Jiang Yi wanted to do something for the people. His heart, which was concerned about the country and the people, had been dormant all the way to the north.

Ling Buqi pursed his lips tightly.

He said nothing, as if he had thought of something.

Then he spoke calmly:

"In that case, then Lord Jiang will write a letter and send it to Yang Gui."

"it is good."

Jiang Yi first wrote a letter and asked An Ming to ride a horse ahead to deliver it to the Binzhou provincial capital.

Anming rode away on horseback.

Everyone continued to get on the carriage.

The weather has suddenly turned cold these days.

As soon as we got on the carriage, it started to rain.

The carriage rolled over the muddy official road.

In the rain, it took just over an hour to reach the city gate.

Shen Yunyue doesn't like rainy days.

There was a long queue at the city gate. She lifted the curtain and looked at the long queue.

He frowned his handsome brows.

"Lord Ling, why don't we take the less crowded passage?"

Ling Buqi stretched out his slender fingers, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Our roles now are merchants. You are my Hedong Lion wife. You were afraid that I would fool around outside, so you brought your maids and servants with me to trade tea and grain.

We haven't paid them enough money yet, so let's just wait in this ordinary team."

Shen Yunyue's eyes lit up.

"You know I brought a lot of tea and food?"

They brought green glutinous rice, top-quality flour, the best Dahongpao tea, Yunwu tea, and dozens of kilograms of old tea that ordinary people drink.

All of these are the masterpieces of Manager Hu.

I was afraid they would starve to death along the way.

There are quite a few of these things in Shen Yunyue’s space, but it’s not easy to take them out.

It’s not a problem to sneak some of them out quietly.

"Uh-huh."

Ling Buqi sneered: "Did you think of doing some business in Mobei?"

"My second son and second daughter-in-law will also go to Mobei."

Speaking of the two of them...

Ling Buqi's expression darkened.

It seems that he doesn't have a good impression of those people from the He family.

Yang Gui, the governor of Binzhou, received Jiang Yi's invitation and was still doing exercise in his concubine's room. He rested his gray belly and asked the maid to bring in the invitation.

He took the post in his hand and read it over and over again.

The concubine seemed unsatisfied and sighed softly.

She took the invitation from Yang Gui's hand. She was born in a brothel in Binzhou and always knew how to please men, so it was inevitable that she was pampered.

The concubine knows some words.

She smiled sweetly and said:

"Master, who is this Jiang Yi?"

Yang Gui moved her to his belly and put his arms around her slender waist. His beard twitched, "You are a poor fellow, and now you work in the lowest position in the Ministry of Revenue in the capital."

"He is stubborn and doesn't know how to adapt. He deserves to be poor all his life."

The concubine seemed to be afraid of being tainted with poverty.

He held the post between two long fingers and threw it aside, "How does the master know the poor and sour one?"

"We are from the same school. We were students of the same master."

"It turns out that we are still classmates. I should still give him some face." The concubine had just been redeemed from the brothel by Yang Gui, and she wanted to leave a good impression in front of him.

"I heard that the emperor sent people to Mobei. We have plenty of food in Binzhou, but the people in Mobei are exchanging their children for food."

"There are still several months until the summer harvest. Lord Jiang may come to Binzhou to buy food."

"I think we should go to Guixianglou and order some good food so we can treat you well."

Yang Gui sneered.

"It's a waste of money. He's probably here to borrow food. Why bother with a beggar?"

"Why don't I stay with you for a while longer?"

Say it.

Yang Gui pushed his concubine down...

Not long after.

There was a shocking sound, and it sounded a bit dramatic.

After all, she is a brothel girl.

She is used to preserving a man's pitiful face.

Shen Yunyue and his group entered Binzhou City.

Binzhou is indeed more prosperous than other state capitals.

Pedestrians wearing brocade robes can be seen everywhere on the street, as well as a tattered mat spread on the ground, with a few skinny children and old people sitting there begging weakly.

Shen Yunyue couldn't help but frown.

"While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone."

Jiang Yi followed behind and said:

"It's not as good as our Lingnan. At least the climate there is warmer. It's not easy to freeze to death, and you can find something to eat in the mountains even in winter."

"It's okay to just barely survive."

Shen Yunyue asked Baizhi to buy some steamed bread and give them to the beggars.

They went to the inn to stay the night first.

Ling Buqi was planning to rob a batch of food in Binzhou and take it to Mobei.

Here, officials and bandits are in collusion, and with the involvement of the Tan family's business routes, all the officials, big and small, in the Binzhou provincial capital are fat and plump.

Find a place to stay.

Jiang Yi still didn't wait for a reply.

Anming came back and said that Yang Gui was staying in the mansion. The servant took the note in but there was no response.

If they weren't businessmen at this moment.

Anming was planning to go in with his sword.

"Let's go directly." Ling Buqi thought for a moment, "I'm afraid that Mr. Jiang's friendship with his classmates won't arouse Yang Gui's interest."

Shen Yunyue immediately perked up.

"I'll go over and have a look too."

After discussing, the three of them went directly to the backyard of the prefectural government.

It's still raining outside.

When Yang Gui heard that Jiang Yi was here, he thought for a moment. "Take them to the front yard."

After the followers leave.

He waited in the concubine's room for another stick of incense before slowly getting up, dressing and washing up.

Wait until he reaches the front yard.

Shen Yunyue and the others have been waiting for a long time.

Ling Buqi didn't say anything, his face expressionless and the more he looked like this, the more it seemed that Yang Gui wouldn't have many days of good life left.

Jiang Yi was about to say something when he saw Yang Gui coming up the stairs.

He hurriedly stood up to greet him.

As soon as the two met, they showed their standard hospitality smiles, as if they were really close friends.

Yang Gui exchanged a few pleasantries.

Only then did I see a man and a woman sitting in the room.

Men wore simple robes with dark patterns, while women wore dark red satin with flower patterns, and wore gold hairpins and hairpins with rubies on their heads.

Handsome.

You can tell at first glance that he is a nouveau riche.

That bold sitting posture doesn't look elegant at all.

"Who are these two?" He looked at Jiang Yi puzzledly.

"That eunuch from the Black Armor Guard went to Mobei halfway and just left me behind to go on his own." Jiang Yi was in tears as he spoke, with tears of humiliation in his eyes.

"Do you think it's easy for me to be ridden on the head and shit by a eunuch?"

"When I get to Mobei, I must take part in this book."

"Luckily, I met Master Yun Jin and his wife from Jiangnan on the way. They came to buy grain, and I invited them to come with me to Binzhou and then to Mobei to invest."

Jiang Yi said that he hated Ling Buqi so much.

I felt uneasy.

Lord Governor Ling, it was Lord Shen who asked me to curse you like that.

Don't hit me with a knife.

Yang Gui saw that he was crying sincerely and hated him to the core.

Then he thought again that he despised Jiang Yi's poverty. The eunuch had seen wealth and would not take Jiang Yi, a poor guy, seriously.

The doubts were immediately dispelled.

Seeing that Ling Buqi and the other two were just merchants, Yang Gui waved his hand and asked them to sit down casually.

"Have some tea, have some tea."

"I do have some grain in Binzhou, but you also know that the grain in the state granary cannot be moved."

Yang Gui sat on the chair with an air of being the most powerful person in the world. "There are some old grains that have been stored for a year or two. They have either been eaten by rats or are a bit moldy."

"This kind of food is most suitable for disaster relief or for sending to the army."

As soon as these words came out.

Shen Yunyue's face turned cold.

The soldiers were fighting hard to defend their country at the border, but these corrupt officials actually sent them stale grain as military rations.

No wonder He Jinnian died miserably back then... ?

She pretended not to understand. "Master Yang, there is one thing I don't understand."
