Since Li Zitong was hit hard just now, I don’t think there will be any trouble. In addition, the scenery along the river is quite beautiful, so we slowed down our sailing speed, and it took two more days to arrive in Yangzhou than the desired period.

At this time, Yangzhou no longer had the prosperous scene that was more than a year ago. The city walls were covered with Sui soldiers holding steel guns, and outside the city was a mess caused by the escape of a large number of residents. The originally smooth city walls are now sparsely populated, and it seems that no one has taken care of.

There was no long queue outside the city gate of the people waiting to enter the city, and the street stalls selling various small commodities on both sides of the city gate also disappeared without a trace, and replaced by thick weeds about a foot long.

A team of about ten Sui soldiers were scattered outside the gate, looking at the scattered people entering and leaving Yangzhou City with vulgar faces. Even so, they would also want to flip the people's belongings and collect them in their bags when they encountered something they liked. If the people dared to object, they would be fist-and-job.

Seeing this scene, I sighed in my heart that the Sui Dynasty was really out of reach.

As soon as we walked to the city gate, a Sui soldier leader shouted: "Stop, take out all your belongings quickly. I want to check it."

I glanced at the talking Sui Bing, and saw that the man was slanted and his face was extremely dirty.

The leader of the Sui Bing suddenly saw two delicate and beautiful beauties following me, and his heart was very moved. He rubbed his palms and said with a smile: "Haha, the two little girls are so beautiful that they are much better than the girl in the "Zuixianlou". Come and enjoy the old man. I am happy that I may be able to give you a few taels of silver flowers." After that, I was about to go up and start.

Geng Liang was furious after hearing this, and then rushed up in two steps. He grabbed the collar of the leader with one hand, lifted him up and cursed: "Beast, you are really tired of living! If the great dynasty is ruined, you are waiting for your hand! Look at your grandpa, I won't teach you a good lesson today!"

After saying that, Geng Liang shook his palm and used his strength. He slapped a few mouths with a "slap" and then threw him heavily to the ground. When the Sui soldiers around him saw that the leader was searching for teeth all over the ground, they woke up. They pulled out their weapons and cursed: "You dare to fight, officers and soldiers, I think you must be a robber. I will kill you to get the reward."

"Stop!" An angry shout came from the city gate. A middle-aged man in armor walked out vigorously, showing an angry look. A man in his forties was walking side by side.

"The master of the sect, the subordinate of the Sui general, knew Wang Yang, a 'deacon' in Yangzhou. I think it was because the master of the altar was afraid that he would not be able to come forward, so he sent him to pick us up." Geng Ming approached me and whispered.

The middle-aged man in armor walked to the side of the Sui Bing leader and lifted him up from the ground. He "pa" and two more mouths were sternly shouted: "Bastard! You're blind! Get aside!"

At this time, Wang Yang quickly walked towards me and said respectfully: "Little butler Wang Yang, pay homage to Mr. Duan. After receiving the news that your boss, your uncle, was waiting for you. I just saw General Dou Xian chatting for a few words, but this happened, which scared the lady. The young man really couldn't forgive his crime." After that, Wang Yang knelt in front of me with a "splash".

Dou Xian just turned around and saw this scene, and was shocked, "As for this? The leader just insulted her a few words, and was beaten so hard that he could not get up before he started. Why did he seem to have committed a death sentence? This person is undoubtedly Duan Tiande and Duan Qianzhu's nephew, and he should be close to him."

How could he know that my identity is the leader of the "Tianya Hai Pavilion", and Wang Yang is just a small "deacon". The two women are the wife of the sect leader. The rules of the "Tianya Hai Pavilion" are extremely strict and have clear levels. If the leader or wife is insulted because of his own disadvantages, it would be a serious crime. He would be severely punished by the prison hall. Otherwise, the "Tianya Hai Pavilion" would not stand for a thousand years without falling.

Wei Zhenzhen's sleeves moved slightly, and a soft force lifted Wang Yang up from the ground, and said softly: "Please get up, butler, this matter has nothing to do with you."

After hearing this, Wang Yang hurriedly turned his eyes to me. Seeing that I nodded in agreement, he showed joy on his face. Then he pulled the middle-aged man in armor to me and said respectfully: "Rong Xiaodi introduces him to the young master. This is the friend General Dou Xian, the Central Army General whom I met some time ago."

"Dou Xian has seen the young master. Uncle Gui once praised the young master for being so handsome. In my heart, I was very impressed and regretted that I had no chance to meet. Today I saw him, it was indeed a dragon and a phoenix among people." Dou Xian said respectfully with his fists, his tone a little flattering.

I replied, "General Dou has given me a prize. Have you met Uncle Jia recently? I wonder if he is in good health recently?"

Dou Xian said: "Boss Duan and General Dugu Sheng are good friends. The young general follows General Dugu for many years, so when he often sees Boss Duan, don't worry, he has always been in good health."

Wang Yang smiled and said, "Young Master, this is not a place to talk. Let's go to the city to reminisce. The boss thinks about you so much. If you go back late, you may be cursed again. General Dou might as well go with us. I'll arrange a table in the 'Manfulou', so how do we have a good chat?"

Dou Xian is also a smart person, so how could he not understand the meaning of the words and know that this is a polite word. He smiled and said, "I still have some things to deal with here, so I won't disturb you."

Wang Yang said: "We will talk about it later."

We said goodbye to Dou Xian, walked into Yangzhou City and walked towards "Manfu Building".

The outside of the city is desolate, and there is almost nothing in the city.

The houses on both sides of the street are already "rife with holes", and a small amount of money is even more dilapidated. It is obvious that the owner of the house has fled with his family or was killed by the Sui soldiers in the city. Because the people living in these houses are all Sui soldiers, it is no wonder that Yang Guang escaped from Yangzhou to 150,000 motors, and his palace did not allow soldiers to rest, but only allowed him to enjoy himself. These Sui soldiers naturally drove the people in the room out and used them to stay.

The soldiers usually do nothing and feel resentful, but they dare not come to the top to judge, so they have to vent their anger on the people of Jiangdu. Therefore, the Sui soldiers in the city robbed shops and smashed shops and raped women from time to time.

How could those civilians who were powerless to live a stable life in such a harsh environment? So they carried their families and fled out of Jiangdu and defected to other places.

Therefore, most of the shops on both sides of the road have long been closed, and the few remaining ones are avoided by some backstages behind them, but the business is very depressed.

The bustling and noisy hawking sounds in Yangzhou City in the past have long disappeared and have been heard for a long time. I just don’t know how the old Feng and the evil woman who bought buns were.

My two beautiful wives and I walked in front, Wang Yang followed me, while the Geng brothers followed Wang Yang.

I stopped and asked, "Wang Yang, do you know how the old Feng, who sells buns in Chengnan, is like?"

When Wang Yang heard me asking, he took two steps to approach me and said, "Because Lao Feng's skill in making buns is very famous here, Yang Guang brought him into the palace the next day when he arrived in Jiangdu, and asked him to go to the imperial kitchen, specializing in making various buns for Yang Guang and his concubine. Later, he was executed by Yang Guang, and Dou Xianjian was killed."

"Die?" I asked, "Why did I die?"

Wang Yang thought for a while and said, "It is said that Feng Qiang is a man of a bull. He often argues with other people in the kitchen and frames people. After the bun he made Yang Guang eat, he stuffed a two-quarter-long fish bone into it and stabbed Yang Guang in the throat. Yang Guang was so angry that he killed him. More than 300 people were involved in this matter, and even those who framed him were probably among them."

After hearing this, I looked at Wei Zhenzhen with concern and felt relieved when I saw that she was still smiling.

"By the way," I asked, "Han Lei has sold the 'Manfulou'?"

Wang Yang replied: "Return to the sect master, that's exactly what it is. The lord of the altar took advantage of the panic and unrest in Yangzhou when the people of Yangzhou were in a state of panic and unrest, and bought some houses around him for a very low price. He spent a few more money to buy some houses around him and expanded the 'Manfu Building'."

I said expressionlessly: "Are you putting pressure on the local people to buy?"

When Wang Yang heard this, he saw that I was angry and said in panic: "Bing Sect Master, how dare we break the rules of the sect? The silver we paid is definitely much higher than the value of their house. Please rest assured."

I smiled and nodded. I suddenly remembered that Shuanglong had been with Yan Kuan on the periphery of the Zhuhua Gang for a while, and asked, "Have you ever heard of the 'Bamboo Gang'?"

Wang Yang thought for a while and said, "The leader of the gang of the 'Zhuhua Gang' was executed by Yang Guang more than a month ago. When Yang Guang arrived in Yangzhou, he ordered someone to send Yuling from the 'Tianxian Tower' to the palace to offer Yang Guang a lewd fun. But he was originally in love with Yuling, so how could he send her like a foolish emperor in the palace to insult him? So he sent someone to secretly send Yuling away.

When Yang Guang knew about it, he beheaded him and made public. At the same time, he ordered the killing of the members of the "Zhuhua Gang". At this time, the "Zhuhua Gang" had no longer had its former prestige and its power in Yangzhou fell apart."

"Oh, Yang Guang is really stupid and unruly. I'm afraid he's unprecedented, and there are no ones who come later." After that, he continued to walk forward, and not long afterwards, he arrived in front of "Manfu Tower".
