50. Farewell, Yangzhou!

The waves are in the ocean, the sea is blue, looking back at the south of the Yangtze River

The south of the Yangtze River is good, and the scenery is old.

Flying clouds, tree shadows, flying swallows, flying swallows, flying swallows

The painting angle of the lonely city, the drizzle and the slanting wind, a leaf flat boat on the bamboo forest

Hangzhou, Zhulin Village, opposite is an endless sea.

On the sea, the wind is calm and calm, and the air is fresh and warm. Bathed in the sun, you can see far and far away.

When the wind rises, two people stood side by side on the trestle, and their belts floated gently with the wind.

That's Zhao Ze and Shangguan Mei in plain clothes.

The big ship that went to sea was across the opposite water, gently rolling the white sails. The windows were bright, the cables had been untied, and the sailors were ready to set sail. They waited for the arrival of that moment and waited quietly. This was the most beautiful harbor they had ever seen.

When the seagull hovered over the canvas, Kongyan took three monks to the bow, then bowed Zhao Ze with his palms together, and then left and walked towards the stern.

At this time, there are three people standing in the bow of the boat, three monks in blue, all with hats on their heads, hemp shoes on their feet, and shabby robes on their bodies, arranged from high to low, very similar to three green bamboo poles

"Never come back," Zhao Ze said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, don't worry, since we have escaped, we will not throw ourselves into the net again. It's good, good," replied the leading monk.

"Although I don't know what method you used to get your brother Jin Chan out of your shell, you did it. This play is a good performance. Maybe you will figure it out when you leave Yizhou," Zhao Ze asked him.

The monk smiled, bowed to Zhao Ze, and replied, "When you appeared in Chuzhou, it suddenly occurred to me that instead of being a battle of trapped beasts, it's better to make plans early. Maybe it will be different in another place."

"Japan is very bitter at this time, do you know?" Zhao Ze told him.

"Listen to the monk Kongyan," the monk replied.

"Are you ready for enlightenment?" Zhao Ze said, "I guess it won't be long before the heroes will rise. There will be a war, and some of you will suffer."

The monk suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky with a finger.

"Maybe my future will be there, and my children and grandchildren will be there to find their home," he said.

"I hope, I wish you good luck. By the way, don't humiliate the Song people after you go there. Don't come back if you don't become a general." After saying that, Zhao Ze threw a black burden over and landed firmly in the bow.

"Thank you, my lord!" The monk bowed again.

"You're welcome. What's your name from now on? If I have time to go to Japan, how can I find you!"

The monk frowned first, and then slowly unfolded. He pointed to the monk beside him who had been bowing his head and said, "From now on, we will make a living by weaving and farming. According to the habits over there, I think the surname Oda should be very suitable."

"Okay, Brother Oda, good luck to you. See you later!"

"See you later! Please"

"Please, have a good trip!"

Zhao Ze waved his hand and saw the big ship sail out of the sea, sailed away from the harbor, and gradually moving away. Maybe this was the last time he saw a man named Wang Lun.

......

Three days later, Zhao Ze and his party secretly returned to Yangzhou.

At dawn the next day, the soft sunshine returned to the earth, and everything in the city returned to its original state. It was peaceful and quiet, lively and prosperous. When the gongs sounded, Wang Hui appeared in a restaurant in the city, looking at the people walking in the streets and alleys. The ordinary trivial things that happened calmly raised the wine glass, and then Drink it all and remember the past in front of the window.

In the government office,

Zhang Zai reported to Zhao Ze about the recent events. First of all, Wang Lun and other anti-thieves have been killed, and their heads are hanging on the north gate of Yangzhou City. Among them, the heads of Wang Lun, Qian Jingsheng and Zhou Wuneng have been shown in the bamboo cage, which can be regarded as an example.

Secondly, in the past few days when Zhao Ze was away, Anmin's notices have been posted. Every day, officials have taken to the streets to publicize, inform the people of Yangzhou that the rebels in Yizhou have been wiped out. From now on, Yangzhou will be safe and sound, and the people can live as usual. If there are any more rumors and troubles, they will be severely punished.

In addition, people in nearby states and counties sued Wang Lun for robbery. Because there are too many clues, it is difficult to verify them one by one. Like those who lost cattle, those who lost horses, those who lost their food at home, and even those who lost their clothes in the courtyard, they have to blame Wang Lun and pleaded with the government to be the decision to recover them. More than that, the big families in Yangzhou also took the opportunity to come to the door, saying that Wang Lun forced them to pay for the grain. Now Wang Lun Zhengfa hopes that the government can return the money and grain.

These thousands of trivial things seem to be simple. If they are solved one by one, I'm afraid they can't be solved in a year and a half.

What's more, the official appointment of the imperial court has not yet come down. Zhao Ze is only a temporary acting magistrate of Yangzhou, and it is not easy to interfere too much in local affairs. Originally, he wanted to ask Wang Jue to investigate the case, but Wang Jue excused that he was ill, and he was in a bad mood and did not want to do anything for the time being.

In this case, Zhang Zai had to casually find a few urgent cases to deal with, and the rest of the notices were posted to let the people know that they had to wait for the newly appointed magistrate of the court to come to deal with them.

Time goes through day after day. When Zhao Ze has nothing to do, he will go out with Shangguan Mei and wander all over the city. Today, he will go to Xishan, tomorrow to the river, or get up in the morning to run and go fishing in the afternoon.

When you are free, go to the Dongcheng Barracks and chat with Mu Yunhan, Di Ning and Lu Jun for half a day. Then go to Yang Wenguang's Xicheng Barracks to see how he practices the Divine Guard. By the way, he trains and boosts his morale and tells these soldiers that the reward of the court will soon. Don't worry, celebrate. There is wine to drink.

In order to appease the army, Zhao Ze discussed a countermeasure with Yang Wenguang, Mu Yunhan and others.

That is, from July 1, the Shenwei Army and the Musketeers will have a three-day holiday and rest in Yangzhou, but they must return to the barracks after dusk. The soldiers who go out should not make trouble, otherwise the punishment will be doubled.
