Chapter 56

Huxian is not far from Tongren, and it is only a day away. It’s just that the mountains and rivers are surrounded by winding roads. Although Ye Xiaotian and his party are driving a carriage with a slow speed, it will take two and a half days to arrive.

Yang Sanshou indeed lost Ye Xiaotian, but Yang Sanshou had a strong sense of tenacity and followed the road to Tongren. At noon the next day, he finally found the traces of Ye Xiaotian and his party and the other three again. However, there were many pedestrians on the road at this time, and Ye Xiaotian and a small caravan were almost caught and walked together, talking and laughing, but Yang Sanshou could not do anything, so he had to follow him secretly.

Ye Xiaotian was driving a carriage. They were walking with their legs apart. If Ye Xiaotian tried his best, they would not be able to catch up at all. Fortunately, Ye Xiaotian knew that it would take at least two days to drive. This horse was a bad horse and did not have much strength, so they could barely keep up with it all the way.

But on the morning of the third day, because he could arrive in Tongren today, Ye Xiaotian accelerated the speed, and Yang Sanshu and the other two rushed forward, but were still left far away.

In the afternoon, Ye Xiaotian, Xue Shuiwu and Leyao finally arrived in Tongren. As soon as Shuiwu and Leyao entered Tongren City, they opened the curtains and looked around, and were full of interest. Fuwaer lay on the seat like an old man, sleeping soundly with two bamboo shoots in his arms. No matter where it went, it would have to eat.

Tongren was affiliated with the Sinan Xuanwei Office in the early founding of the Ming Dynasty. As soon as he heard this name, he knew that it was under the jurisdiction of the Grand Chieftain. The Grand Chieftain who ruled the area was the Tian family, one of the four great masters of Tian Yang in Ansong.

The Tian family has become the rulers of the place since the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty. Over the past thousand years, it has a deep foundation and a huge power. Almost one-twenty of the hundreds of large and small chieftains in Guizhou were of the surname Tian. There are two of the most powerful chieftains in the Tian family, with their foundations in Sizhou and Sinan respectively.

After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, Guizhou chieftains successively surrendered, but these local emperors were both independent of the command and the proclamation. They just gave Zhu Chongba some local special products every now and then, and just mean that I was your subject.

Zhu Yuanzhang dreamed of taking Guizhou down and put it under his own rule. He chose the Tian family for this breakthrough. At that time, the most powerful among the Tian family chieftains were Tian Renzhi and Tian Renhou, Zhi and Hou, and the two divisions were very fierce. Tian Renzhi redeemed the minister and won the position of Xuanwei Envoy of Sizhou, but the real chieftain in Sizhou was Tian Renhou.

Tian Renhou had surrendered Chen Youliang before, but after Chen Youliang was defeated, he surrendered Zhu Yuanzhang and also fought for the appointment of Xuanwei Envoy. What a scheming Zhu Yuanzhang was? His Jinyiwei had already reported the situation in Guizhou in detail, but he pretended not to know and seemed to have been deceived, and appointed Tian Renhou as Xuanwei Envoy Sizhou.

There was no place for two tigers in one mountain. The great chieftains of the Tian family in Sizhou and Sinan began to fight for the orthodox status. However, Lao Zhu had no time to close the net and returned home. His incompetent grandson Zhu Yunwen held the whole world. In the end, in four years, he was beaten by the King of Yan Zhu Di, who was only in Yanjing, and the world changed its master.

After Emperor Yongle ascended the throne, the two chieftains of the Tian family were fighting hard. The human mind was almost like a dog mind. Yongle was the master of talent and strategy. Naturally, he understood the real intention of his father to set up this game. Even if he didn't understand, how could he let it go when he saw this situation?

Emperor Yongle smiled and persuaded him to make peace for a while. Ertian refused to give in, but instead fought even harder. At this time, Yongle turned against him. Taking advantage of Ertian's fierce fighting, he blatantly sent troops to dismiss the position of Xuanwei envoy of the two major chieftains, and divided Sizhou and Sinan into Tongren, Sinan, Shiqian, Wuluo, Sizhou, Zhenyuan, Liping, and Xinhua Eight Prefectures, and established Guizhou General Administration.

The father and son had been in the layout for ten years and finally inserted the court's hand into the Guizhou city surrounded by mountains. However, the situation in Guizhou was more complicated than Zhu Yuanzhang and his son expected. Although Emperor Yongle inserted his hand in it, he could not untie the mess for a while and could not hold up the loose sand.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Yongle hurriedly swept north and moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing. The matter of Guizhou was temporarily put aside. His descendants did not have as powerful skills as him, so the imperial court's control over Guizhou was always progressing slowly.

In fact, there is no way to do this. Even if Emperor Yongle put his energy into Guizhou, he might not be able to completely solve the problem in his lifetime. He conquered the northern part of Mobei and fought the Tartars and fled, but he was only defeated and unable to effectively occupy and rule. It was because the gains and losses were disproportionate. As a result, after a hundred years, it was still the world of nomadic peoples.

The situation in Guizhou was roughly similar. Until this time, it was already before the Wanli period. This place was still a major burden for the court. The taxes in the province were not as good as those in a small county in the southeast, and the court had to allocate huge sums of money to manage every year. The humanistic environment, geographical environment, economic conditions, and the conditions for the imperial court's rule over the local area at that time were destined that Emperor Yongle's idea could only be an unfulfilled beautiful wish.

In Tongren, until today, five hundred years later, the Han people here were less than 30% of the total local population, and at that time it was only 15%. In addition, the transportation was inconvenient and the news was blocked, so the locals were still the ones who really had the right to speak.

Although the Tian family suffered a great loss and Tongren was also placed under the rule of the governor, the prefect here was the Tu magistrate, that is, the hereditary official. The official name was the Chief of the Chief of the Tixi Chief of the Officer, and it was called Daluhuachi during the Yuan Dynasty. The locals called the Chief of the Tixi Chief of the Zhang magistrate because the Tu magistrate who ruled the area was surnamed Zhang and was always Zhang.

The Zhang family of Tongren is not as long as the four great masters of An Song, Tian and Yang. The history of this family ruled Tongren for only more than 300 years. In fact, the rule of more than 300 years is not short. There are not many dynasties in Chinese history that have been in power for more than 300 years, but for these chieftains, three hundred years is just a starting point.

The Zhang family chieftain originated in Zhang Huan, son of Zhang Hui, the grand marshal of Qiannan Road in Shaoqing in the early years of the Yuan Dynasty. Since then, he inherited official positions from generation to generation. Even if the dynasty was changed, the local emperor of Tongren was always the Zhang family.

Although Huxian is small, it is located in the important post road. Merchants traveling from north to south have played a role in promoting local thought, culture and economy, but Tongren does not have such convenient conditions. Under the rule of the Zhang family for generations, this place has become a relatively closed and independent kingdom.

Ye Xiaotian and his group drove into the city in a carriage. They found that although this place is much larger and more prosperous than Huxian, it always gives people a feeling of being older and wilder than Huxian. Ye Xiaotian tied the reins of the horse and turned his head to Xue Shuiwu and said, "We're here, where are your family living?"

"My home..."

Xue Shuiwu suddenly hesitated, and Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but quip: "You won't even recognize the way home, right? Could it be that you are timid in your hometown?"

Xue Shuiwu said timidly: "Brother Ye, I really don't know you."

Ye Xiaotian was stunned and Xue Shuiwu said, "Have I not told you? I was born in the capital. My hometown... I have never been here, I only heard from my parents."

Ye Xiaotian was stunned and said, "This Tongren City is not small. How do we go to find your house? But is there any information you can ask for?"

Xue Shuiwu said: "I probably remember a little, wait for me to get off the car and ask."

Xue Shuiwu stood on the street for a while and walked back with a little face. Seeing this, Ye Xiaotian comforted him: "No, we have come through all the difficulties and dangers. Since we have arrived at the place, we are still afraid that we will not be able to find anyone? It is not a solution for us to drive a carriage on the street. We will find a store first and then search slowly."

What could Xue Shuiwu have to go to the inn first with Ye Xiaotian. Fortunately, the three of them returned all the property they had collected during this trip, but also gave Cheng Yi an additional gift. The tycoon also gave him a sum of money. He would not have to worry about spending food and consumption on the road, and would not be as embarrassed as when he fled from Jingzhou to Huxian.

There are not many migrant populations in Tongren, so this inn is not easy to find. Ye Xiaotian drove a carriage around three streets. Then he found an inn. When Ye Xiaotian and his family of three were checking in the inn, Yang Sanshu and the other two had just arrived at Tongren City with their tired bodies.

Yue Ming frowned, as if his brows had never been stretched: "The sea of ​​people is vast, where can I find them."

Yang Sanshu sneered: "This guy likes to cause trouble so much that he will settle down when he comes to Tongren? I don't believe it, let alone they also brought a bear. Is such an obvious goal difficult to find? They will definitely not be able to escape, hahaha..."

Poor Yang Sanshu suffered all the hardships in order to achieve his goal, and he became a beggar leader from a wealthy manager. The idea of ​​completing his wife's instructions to kill Shui Wu and Le Yao has become an obsession in his heart, which makes him almost crazy.

"Look at your broken store, you don't want anything. You dare to say it's the best store in Tongren. If I had known it, I wouldn't have come here with the master. It would be so shabby. Fortunately, our master will come back today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stay there for a day!"

Ye Xiaotian followed the waiter into the lobby and saw a beautiful woman with a handsome appearance, but her eyes were tall and her eyebrows were flying. She stood in the lobby with a bit of domineering expression, pointing her hands and saying something, and a shopkeeper-like person was laughing beside her to deal with it.

Seeing that the little woman was covered in pearls and a nouveau riche, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but frown and said to the waiter: "Is this person your customer?"

The waiter smiled bitterly and said, "No, it's a concubine that a businessman just took. She was newly married and reluctant to part, so she followed the man to do business. She was going to Huxian, but she heard something happened in Huxian and the post road was blocked. Her man left her here and took the goods alone. She left her for half a month. This woman was almost annoyed by this and that all day long, but she was a guest, so she couldn't do anything to her."

At this time, the woman turned around in disappointment and saw Le Yao walking in with Fuwaer. She immediately screamed "ah" and pointed at Fuwaer and said, "What the hell is this? Not only people live in your store, but also wild animals live. Hurry up and drive it out!"

Yaoyao said unconvincedly: "Why should I chase it? It is my good friend."

The woman turned to the shopkeeper and shouted: "What's wrong with your store? She put in such a thing. She didn't know if it smelled bad, she couldn't shed hair, and she couldn't grow fleas. If she got such a thing in her, she wouldn't let others live there."

The shopkeeper said with a bitter face: "Mrs. Shao, I only live for one day. And I see this thing is very gentle and clean. It is not easy to find a store to live in. Besides, the store always has to do business, because of your noisyness, and several groups of customers have left."

The woman said unyieldingly: "It's because your store is not good. Do you blame me for not doing it? Okay, if you don't drive them away, just let them live a little far away from me. Also, they live for one day, aren't they? The money for my store will be deducted for one day."

The shopkeeper was extremely disgusted, but he was not good at talking harshly to the guests. Thinking that the husband of the willful woman was coming back today and might be leaving tomorrow, he couldn't bear it for a long time before he quarreled with her, so he had to nod.

The woman stopped seeing that he was willing to cut the money in the shop. She walked over with displeasure and saw Yaoyao standing at the door. She pushed her in disgust and shouted, "Get out of here!"

"Ouch!"

Yaoyao sat down on the ground, tears immediately shaking in his eyes. Fuwaer stood aside with dark circles hanging down, and he didn't understand why these people were the same, so why do the big ones bully the smaller ones?

Seeing this, Ye Xiaotian rushed upwards and immediately rushed forward to argue, but was pulled by Shui Wu. Shui Wu shook her head and said, "Brother Ye, forget it, a good man won't fight with a woman." After that, he stepped forward and helped Yaoyao up, patted the dust on her butt, and said softly: "Is it okay?"

He shook his head sensibly.

The woman suggested not allowing Ye Xiaotian's family to be close to her, but she was so annoying that she was so frightened all day long that the customers who stayed in the hotel either left, and those who didn't leave had already asked to transfer the room. The remaining two rooms were close to her, so the shopkeeper arranged for Ye Xiaotian to live next to the woman, Shui Wu and Leyao and Fuwaer lived next to Ye Xiaotian, which was considered to be separated from the woman.

It was almost dusk when Ye Xiaotian and the other two stayed in the hotel. They ordered hot water to take a shower and change clothes. After washing the dust all the way, they went to the store to eat something. When they returned to their residence to rest, they were already dark. Ye Xiaotiankuan took off his coat and just lay on the couch when he heard a high decibel scream next door: "Ah! Master, you are back!"

The woman's voice was extremely harsh and she didn't consider the guests. Ye Xiaotian frowned and turned over to continue sleeping. Unexpectedly, the sound next door was very loud. The woman was really frightened. Sometimes she said that the master had lost weight and lost weight. Sometimes she was surprised to praise the jewelry that the master brought to her. Her voice seemed to be afraid that others would not hear it. It really had the effect of a magic sound penetrated the brain.

After finally dying until the next door calmed down, Ye Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to sleep down, he heard the sound of "Yiyayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayaya

Ye Xiaotian could no longer bear it. He jumped up in anger, swung his fist and smashed the wall with a "bang" and shouted loudly: "You guys and men have been doing this for half a month. You guys and women are doing this every night, and you still shout whether you can sleep, ah?"

The next door was quiet for about a cup of tea, and the sound of the bed turned into yelling, cries, and thunder, like heavy rain and thunder. Ye Xiaotian liked to fall asleep in the sound of wind and rain the most, so he rested on his pillow and fell asleep sweetly...
