Chapter 232 Wuyi is a scholar
"Master Yang, please sit here," Wu Bohan wanted to sit down and chat with him to find out if any of his classmates have any unmarried young talents.
"Oh, I'll just sit next to Lord Yu. General Wu has come from afar, so there's no need to be polite." Yang Biao had no other intentions, he simply didn't want to drink.
"Then please do as you please." If the other person is unwilling, he will not force it.
He filled his bowl with wine, picked it up and drank it in one gulp.
Looking at Yang Biao and Yu Zhenyu talking in low voices across from him without pouring any wine, he thought in his heart that his daughter was right. These literati were so hypocritical.
The meal ended with the host Yu Zhenyu working very hard to adjust the atmosphere at the table, and ended with a round of politeness among the guests.
"Dad, please don't always think about marrying me to a sour scholar. Look at Yang Biao today. He's a pretty boy and so weak that I'm worried that I can hurt him with just one finger."
Wu Ruoyi returned to the military camp, sat down on the chair and put her feet on the table. The melon seeds on the plate were scattered by her outstretched feet.
Filial piety does not mean letting her father take care of everything for her, but giving help when he needs it and providing appropriate care based on respect.
"My dear daughter, don't worry. He got married when he was fifteen and now has a child. There is no way I would let you be his mistress." Seeing that she had misunderstood, Wu Bohan hurriedly explained.
"Isn't it said that scholars get married very late?" Wu Ruoyi grabbed the melon seeds on the table and started to eat them. He actually became a father at such a young age. Wu Ruoyi was a little surprised.
"Most of those who study for the imperial examinations get married at around the age of 22 or 23." Wu Bohan sat next to her and took some melon seeds from her hand to eat.
"Sir Yu, I, Yang, have something to trouble you with." Yang Biao, who was staying at the inn temporarily, said to Yu Zhenyu who brought him here.
"Oh, I wonder what Lord Yang wants to do?" Yu Zhenyu was a little nervous, thinking that he might want to borrow money from me.
"I'm suppressing bandits in my own jurisdiction. According to reliable intelligence, a few bandits have escaped and fled to Hejian Prefecture, so..." Yang Biao said nothing more and took out a stack of portraits from his arms.
"It's just this matter. It's just a piece of cake." It's not just about borrowing money. Yu Zhenyu took all the portraits, handed them to the master beside him, and ordered him to arrest people at each city gate according to the portraits.
"I would like to thank Mr. Yu for his help." Seeing that he acted decisively, Yang Biao bowed to express his gratitude.
"Sir Yang, you and I are officials in the same court, so there's no need to be polite!" Yu Zhenyu waved his hand, told the staff of the posthouse to treat Yang Biao and his party well, and left.
"Master, we have remembered everything." Wu Tong placed the portrait on the table. This time, Yang Biao brought thirty former guards.
"Okay, tomorrow morning you will leave twelve people to guard the city gates and see if we can catch anyone." Yang Biao put away all the portraits and let him go back to rest.
"Hey, you only brought so few people?" Wu Ruoyi was a little dissatisfied when she saw that he had less than twenty people under his command.
"Young General, I'm just assisting in the investigation." He was not here to suppress bandits, so Yang Biao rode his horse slowly.
"You,..." Forget it. Seeing his leisurely and contented look as a scholar, Wu Ruoyi didn't want to waste time talking to him.
This time, her father was ordered by the emperor to guard the pass and kill the bandits who robbed the government silver.
"Master, we've arrived at Dingbei County!" When the men and horses reached a mountain road, Mei Yongle rode over to report.
"Oh, Lord Yu, is this the place where the government silver was robbed?" Yang Biao asked Yu Zhenyu beside him while riding on his horse.
"Yes, it's right here." Seeing him get off the horse, Yu Zhenyu also got off the horse.
It would take eight or nine days for a letter sent by carrier pigeon to reach the capital. The emperor issued an edict to Wu Baihan, who was on the march, asking him to go to the border and suppress the bandits. That was thirteen days after the official silver was robbed.
Yang Biao looked up at the mountains on both sides of the road and asked Mei Yongle and the others to spread out and look for clues.
"Lord Yang, have you found anything?" Wu Bohan rode his horse back and forth on this road twice, but he didn't see a single person except his own people.
"Humph, we're here to suppress bandits, but we don't even see a single extra one." Wu Ruoyi rode very fast, stuck the spear in his hand into the ground, and fell to the ground instantly. My father brought 10,000 troops from the military camp, what a waste.
Wow, so handsome! The wheat-colored skin wrapped in the silver armor, under the sunlight, the heroic figure is full of youthful vitality. He has seen the heroic spirit of women who are not inferior to men, and Yang Biao secretly admires.
"Lecher!" Seeing that he was staring at her, Wu Ruoyi rolled her eyes at him.
"Lord Yu, since there are no clues left, let's go back." Yang Biao also knew that he had been rude just now and changed the subject.
"Okay," he had no choice but to go back like this. Yu Zhenyu led the horse dejectedly, ready to mount.
"Master, I found a place on the mountain where there is a large amount of official silver!" Mei Yongle ran towards Yang Biao quickly.
"Really?" Yu Zhenyu's eyes suddenly lit up. That's great, they finally found the official silver.
"Master, it's right there." Mei Yongle led the way until they saw a small cave.
"Wu Tong, Yongle, you two go in and take a look." Yang Biao didn't want to go in, so he asked them to explore the way.
"Coward!" A grown man is afraid of the dark, he is really a useless scholar. Wu Ruoyi was very contemptuous, she went straight into the cave with her spear.
"Master Yu, do you want to go in?" After hearing the little girl's words, Yang Biao asked Yu Zhenyu who was standing beside him.
"Since so many people have already gone in, I won't go in." Yu Zhenyu waved his hand. He heard that snakes like to live in cool and humid places. It was too dangerous, so he didn't want to take the risk.
"Sir Yu, come and count the official silver." All the official silver hidden in the cave was moved out, and Yang Biao pulled him over.
Fortunately, the Hejian Prefecture reacted quickly. Upon learning that the government silver had been robbed, it immediately sent pigeons to promptly close all the city gates within its jurisdiction. All vehicles leaving the city would be searched, and the bandits were unable to transport the government silver out.
"Lord Yang, there are only 40% of the official silver here." Although he didn't even get back half of it, Yu Zhenyu felt much better and the pressure was not as great as before.
"Lord Yu, please move the official silver back to the treasury as soon as possible." Yang Biao turned and left. This was the business of Hejian Prefecture, so he would not get involved.
"Master, according to the portrait, we have captured five bandits who were about to leave the city." Wu Tong came to report as soon as Yang Biao returned to the inn.
"Interrogate them separately and make sure to find out the whereabouts of the other bandits." Yang Biao went to find Yu Zhenyu. It would be best for him to handle this matter.
"Sir Yu, these bandits are all connected, and they might be able to hear something from each other. Do you want to go and take a look?" The bandits robbed the government silver in Hejian Prefecture, so he didn't bother to investigate.
"Oh, good. I hope there will be some clues." They would not let go of any clues now. Yu Zhenyu hurriedly took people to the post station to receive the captured bandits.
