Chapter 384 Yang Santie’s connections
Although it is a bit unorthodox, this method is really effective!
Yang Santie's carriage went all the way to Tingyu Alley in the north of the city. Ordinary people lived here. Nowadays, everyone's houses all look the same. No one knows whether the person living next door is a pauper or a wealthy squire.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. Yang Santie came down with his things and told Tong Yuanbao: "You can guard the carriage here. There is no need to follow."
After giving the explanation, he walked straight into the alley and knocked on an ordinary house a few times regularly. Soon the door opened, revealing a familiar face.
Yang Santie hurried in and quickly closed the courtyard door, "Uncle Han, I need help!"
Yang Han couldn't help but shake his head when he saw his fuss, "We'll talk about it in the house first."
Yang Santie hurriedly put the things on the table and said flatteringly: "I went to the border outside the customs. I asked about all the things you asked me to ask about. I recorded them all in this letter. Please take a look."
Yang Han received the letter and did not open it on the spot. Instead, he poured a glass of water for Yang Santie, "Why did you find it when you just came back?"
He thought this guy would have to wait until the next year to come.
Yang Santie was helpless, "Don't mention it! After the reform of the imperial examination, Aniang and Grandpa Zhong want me to end next year. I know they are dedicated to me and can't be ignorant, so I have promised them to calm down and study hard next year." Give it a try in the provincial examination.
But I will definitely not give up on Hongshang. I just went out for a trip and found that I had too few people to use. This time my mother-in-law asked Yaxing to bring many people over. I decided to buy 90 Train a guard well, and you know my family’s situation, but no one can train a guard, so Uncle Han.”
Yang Santie tugged on Yang Han's sleeve coquettishly.
Yang Han’s brows were almost knitted together, and he suppressed his fists from raising, “So you want me to help you find someone with strong skills to train the guards?”
Yang Santie nodded firmly, "Yes, that's what it means!"
Yang Han looked at the scarred man who came into the house carrying food, "Nong Liang, how about you help me for a while?"
The man named Nong Liang is about forty years old. The scars on his face are very ferocious. He usually doesn't smile and looks fierce. Children in the alley will be frightened and cry when they see him. This house belongs to him.
Yang Santie only knew that Nong Liang was Yang Han’s friend, but didn’t know that he knew martial arts, so he was very surprised.
Yang Han lowered his eyes and explained calmly: "Nongliang has been on the battlefield like me, and his skills are better than mine. The wounds on his face were from the battle with the commander-in-chief outside the customs, Quintani. In the end, he killed Quintani. The head was chopped off, which was the first achievement."
“So awesome!” Yang Santie looked at Nong Liang and his eyes instantly became extremely respectful.
Nong Liang pursed his lips, not surprised, and said slowly: "These are all old things, there is nothing to say, but if you want me to take action, the cost will be high."
"You can just say it." Yang Santie sat upright, not daring to show any signs of neglect.
Nong Liang twitched the corners of his lips and said, "One hundred taels a month."
"no problem!"
Afraid that Nong Liang would regret it, Yang Santie agreed very quickly.
Nong Liang got up and went back to the house to pack his things.
As soon as he left, Yang Santie immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Uncle Han, Uncle Nong made his first contribution by beheading the enemy commander! Why didn't the imperial court give him an official position?" Such a military achievement is reasonable. It is said that he can be made a fourth-grade military general.
Yang Han sighed, "Don't you think so? He was promoted to deputy general at that time, and he was very high-spirited and wanted to continue his promotion. Unfortunately, he had no background. He was too prominent and made several generals dissatisfied. He was targeted and wore small shoes. He could tolerate these things, but He couldn't stand being ordered off the battlefield for no reason.
In anger, he gave up his job. In that battle, the enemy army came for revenge. Our army suffered heavy losses. He became the target of public criticism. He resigned and left in frustration. "
"This is unreasonable!" Yang Santie was furious when he heard this, "With such a small-minded general, no wonder they will lose the battle!"
When two armies are fighting, life and death are determined by heaven. How can you be angry with those who have made military achievements afterwards? It's shameful!
Yang Han looked at the frost and snow in the courtyard with a faint look, and continued: "He left the military camp and returned to his hometown. Because the scar on his face was really scary and he didn't save much money, he couldn't marry a wife at all. He also Open-minded and open-minded, he lives alone. He mainly makes a living by hunting in the mountains and catching fish in the sea. Occasionally, he will take on some manual labor and earn some money, which is enough for him to live comfortably alone.
Of course, now that I am getting older, I always have to think about the future. Don’t blame him for being a lion. Training guards is not an easy task, let alone a hundred. Since he has taken over this matter, he will definitely not Let you down. "
Yang Santie knew about Nong Liang's past and had only respect for him, so how could he care about this little money.
Seeing the sincerity on his face, Yang Han smiled a little more, "As long as you understand."
Yang Santie bowed solemnly, "Uncle Han, don't worry, there is one more thing. Thanks to Uncle Han for reminding me earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to pass the college examination with such luck."
His knowledge was not as solid as that of Yang Sizhuang. The probability of passing the college examination was extremely low. A few days before the examination, Yang Han suddenly came to him and asked him for help. At the same time, he also said many inexplicable words to him and asked him to study hard. remember.
At that time, he had no idea what kind of medicine Yang Han was selling in his gourd. Because of Yang Xiaohua, he kept everything Yang Han said in mind. When the examination paper of the hospital was handed out, he suddenly realized it.
Although he was puzzled by this matter, he was more grateful. In order to repay Yang Han for his help, he couldn't wait to go out to do business after the examination results were released.
Yang Han pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "What did I say? I didn't say anything! It's your ability that makes you pass the exam! Well, let's not mention these things for now. You can go first. Tomorrow Nongliang will go to the East Lishan Villa is looking for you.”
“Yes!” Yang Santie achieved his goal and respectfully left the house.
As soon as he left, Yang Han immediately opened the letter and read it, frowning tightly.
Nong Liang entered the house and asked, "What's going on?"
Yang Han shook his head, "The letter said that Princess Wuya has been found, and that she will bring the Xuanwu Ding to Beijing for marriage in the spring of next year."
Nong Liang’s face was a bit ugly, “There is no way the Wuya tribe has a Xuanwu Cauldron!”
Yang Han put the letter away, "No matter whether there is an emperor or not, he will never let go of any opportunity to find the Xuanwu Cauldron. If it is finally discovered that the cauldron is fake, there will be no loss to the Wuya tribe. What I am worried about is that their purpose in coming to Beijing is impure. , there is another conspiracy.”
Nong Liang pursed his lips and said: "We are in Quzhou Prefecture and are beyond our reach. We can only send letters to the people over there to make them more alert."
The two of them were worried about this letter, but Yang Santie went back in the carriage in a relaxed manner.
It just so happened that Butler Zhu bought all one hundred guards.
With so many people, the villa was simply not enough to house them. They had to prepare an additional courtyard for them. It was also the Chinese New Year and they were busy everywhere. Butler Zhu almost cried.
