Liangzhou, Guzang County, Weiwu County.
Guzang County is the center of Liangzhou. Although it is not the westernmost territory of the Qin Dynasty, Guzang County is the most prosperous.
Because many commercial trades in the Western Regions are conducted in Guzang County. Especially in Guzang County, there is the largest slave market. Merchants from all over the world come here to buy and sell slaves. This is an extremely profitable business.
This business is controlled by the Yang family in Guzang County.
The head of the Yang family, Yang Shanlong, has won over the Di and Qiang tribes and has great power. In Guzang County and even Weiwu County, Yang Shanlong stamped his feet and even Weiwu County trembled.
The Yang family's residence is located in the north of Guzang County.
His residence is magnificent, and the mansion covers a vast area.
In the backyard, in the study.
An old man over fifty years old was painting. This is a picture of green mountains and green water, with a green mountain in the background, a stream flowing in front of the mountain, and a house at the foot of the mountain, with smoke rising from the kitchen.
This picture is very good and shows quite a bit of skill.
The old man is Yang Shanlong.
He is the head of the Yang family and the helmsman of the Yang family. In the entire Guzang County and even Liangzhou, Yang Shanlong is a very influential person. After Yang Shanlong finished a painting, he put down his brush and carefully examined the landscape painting in front of him. A thick smile hung on his thin and slightly smiling face.
While Yang Shanlong was admiring the calligraphy and painting, there was a sound of footsteps, and an attendant entered, bowed and said: "Master, the second young master wants to see you."
"Let him in."
Yang Shanlong sat down and continued to look at the landscape pictures.
The attendant went to deliver the message, and not long after, a middle-aged man in his thirties entered.
The visitor's name is Yang Jingchan, the second son of Yang Shanlong. He entered the room, stood still, bowed and said, "Father."
Yang Shanlong nodded and said, "What's the matter?"
Yang Jingchan said: "I am reporting back to my father about the new Governor of Weiwei County, Wang Yue."
Yang Shanlong asked: "Is he willing to cooperate?"
Yang Jingchan said: "According to the old rules, the son represents the father, represents the Yang family, and invites Wang Yue to Shuiyue Pavilion for a banquet. Unexpectedly, Wang Yue refused directly, saying that he was busy with official duties and had no time to go to Shuiyue Pavilion. Let me have some time." Let’s talk things straight.”
"Now, Wang Yue has actually arranged to bring his personal entourage to understand the situation in the Prefect's Mansion and even the situation in Weiwu County. Judging from his actions, it seems that he is coming for us and wants to take this opportunity to deal with us. Yang family."
"First Han Qianshan, then Wang Yue."
"This is a bad sign."
Yang Jingchan said in a deep voice: "Especially Wang Yue, who is the son of Wang Tang, the Minister of Household Affairs. Does this mean that the imperial court is preparing to adjust Weiwu County to deal with our Yang family?"
Yang Shanlong chuckled lightly, stroking the beard under his chin, extremely confident, and said disdainfully: "For a long time, the prefects arranged by the imperial court have wanted to change the pattern of Weiwu County. But my Yang family has been running Weiwu County for nearly a hundred years, and has been based in Weiwu County for two hundred years. For the rest of my life.”
"Under such premise, how can any official easily shake the Yang family?"
"Especially, our Yang family also abides by the law and cooperates with the court. If he can't get hold of the Yang family, there is nothing we can do. Since Wang Yue is unwilling to settle the matter and give up, then let him stand aside and let his orders I can’t leave the prefect’s mansion.”
"In addition, if Wang Yue wants to investigate something in Weiwu County, arrange for people to follow and keep an eye on him at any time. Wang Yue is different from Han Qianshan. Wang Yue has a background and cannot be dealt with easily. The final result should be the same. Wang Yue could only have his hands tied."
Yang Shanlong said: "Do you understand?"
Yang Jingchan said: "Understood!"
Yang Shanlong continued: "Previously, Da Qin was attacked by Jin, Qi, Xia and Yan. I was planning to make our people become the prefects of Weiwu County. As long as we, the Yang family, become the prefects, then in Weiwu The county has no worries anymore.”
"It's a pity that the crisis in Da Qin was solved by Lin Feng, a young boy. As a result, we can't make a deal with the imperial court, and we can't support the imperial court in exchange for the imperial court arranging our people to serve as Weiwei Commandery."
Yang Shanlong said: "But don't be anxious. If you miss this opportunity, there will be another opportunity."
Yang Jingchan said: "What my father said makes sense, but there is one more thing, which is the news I just got."
Yang Shanlong said: "What news?"
Yang Jingchan said: "Yang Xisheng sent back the news that the emperor not only arranged for Wang Yue to be the prefect of Weiwu County, but also arranged for Lin Feng to be the censor Zhongcheng and the magistrate of Guzang County. Now, Lin Feng is coming to Guzang County to take up his post. On the way."
"Father, in fact, I have nothing to worry about Wang Yue's son. Wang Tang's son has always had no reputation and no ability. When he served as the county magistrate in Xianyang, he was also quite decent."
"It's not difficult to deal with Wang Yue. On the contrary, I'm a little worried about Lin Feng."
Yang Shanlong snorted and said: "What are you worried about? I have been in charge of the Yang family for decades. What kind of storms have I not seen? What kind of talents have I not encountered? From the beginning to the end, my Yang family has remained unmoving. So it doesn't matter if Lin Feng is powerful. When you get to Guzang County, you have to be obedient."
Yang Jingchan said: "Just imagine, Xia State united with Jin State, Qi State and Yan State to attack Qin Dynasty. This is a big deal. However, Lin Feng collapsed alone. This matter alone is not simple."
Yang Shanlong glanced sideways at Yang Jingchan and said, "Don't try to increase others' ambition and destroy your own prestige."
Yang Jingchan was originally going to continue talking to increase his father's attention to Lin Feng, but Yang Shanlong was not happy, so Yang Jingchan could only suppress his thoughts. He changed the subject and said, "Father, how should we deal with Lin Feng?"
Yang Shanlong said: "Still the old rules, you invite Lin Feng to the Shuiyue Pavilion for a banquet to win over Lin Feng. At that time, test it out at the banquet. If everything goes well and things can be done, give him a financial bribe. As long as Lin Feng accepts the money, he will accept it. The good thing is that Lin Feng is now in control, so he doesn’t have to worry about anything."
"If Lin Feng refuses and does not cooperate, then prepare to completely exclude Lin Feng. Anyway, whether there is Lin Feng as the county magistrate will not affect the overall situation. After all, Weiwu County and Guzang County, even if there are no prefects or county magistrates, everything will It’s still operating as usual.”
Yang Shanlong said: "The county magistrates, county magistrates, etc. are all our people, what should we be afraid of?"
Yang Jingchan said: "My son understands."
Yang Shanlong waved his hand, and Yang Jingchan bowed before turning around and leaving.
Just when Yang Jingchan walked to the door, Yang Shanlong's voice suddenly came again. Yang Shanlong said: "When you invite Lin Feng to the banquet, take Dong Pan with you. He is a veteran grandmaster at the peak of the grandmaster realm. Let him look for opportunities to shock Lin Feng." .Even if Lin Feng brought someone here, he would naturally know what to do after being scared."
Yang Jingchan bowed in agreement and asked: "Father, can you adjust the plan? I will arrange for someone to assassinate Lin Feng and make Lin Feng more embarrassed, and then arrange for Dong Pan to rescue Lin Feng. In this way, it will be both a beating and a blow." Show mercy. Let Lin Feng know that we can only gain a foothold in Guzang County."
Yang Shanlong's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Yes, yes, your suggestion is very good. In this regard, you are better than your elder brother. He is stubborn, but you are more flexible. You decide what to do, I only care about the results. "
"Here!"
Yang Jingchan bowed in agreement and left.
