"You, what are you going to do? Tell you, I, I am an official at the Yamen Gate. If you dare to mess around, you will kill the official, which is equivalent to rebellion. Then all of you in the Tiger Flag will be arrested by the court." Yang Guangyu His expression changed suddenly. He didn't expect the people from the Tiger Flag to find him so quickly.
The young man smiled and said, "Don't worry, Secretary Yang, I am not from the Tiger Flag, and my housekeeper has nothing to do with the Tiger Flag."
Yang Guangyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the person coming was not from the Tiger Flag.
Only then did he realize that his back was already wet with cold sweat.
"Please, Secretary Yang, my housekeeper is still waiting for you." The young and strong man made a gesture of invitation.
Yang Guangyu did not move, but said: "I don't know your housekeeper, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave."
"Secretary Yang, please wait a moment!" The strong young man raised his hand in front of Yang Guangyu.
Yang Guangyu, who was stopped, had a serious look on his face and said, "What do you mean? Under such a bright world, do you still want to forcibly kidnap the book official?"
"Secretary Yang has misunderstood." The young and strong man said, "Secretary Yang has just offended the people of Tiger Character Banner. Could it be that he is not worried about Tiger Character Banner's revenge? Chang Si only offended a family member of Tiger Character Banner. He was beheaded in the street."
Yang Guangyu's body trembled, and he suppressed the panic in his heart and said: "The book clerk is the chief of the prison chamber in the yamen. If they dare to attack the book clerk, that is rebellion."
The young and strong man smiled and said: "The people of the Tiger Character Banner killed people in the street and walked away in a hurry. Even the arrester in the government office did not dare to interfere. Magistrate Guo in the county government was also deeply involved with the Tiger Character Banner. Secretary Yang thought that the Tiger Character Banner There’s nothing else people in Ziqi wouldn’t dare to do!”
Yang Guangyu showed a trace of panic on his face and his body trembled slightly.
The young and strong man continued: "If there is anyone in Lingqiu who is not afraid of the Tiger Flag, it must be my housekeeper."
"Your butler is..." Yang Guangyu's face showed a hint of solemnity.
The young and strong man smiled and said: "Scribe Yang will know it when he sees it, please!"
This time Yang Guangyu did not refuse. He followed the young and strong man and turned in from the next intersection.
After about a hundred steps, the young and strong man led him to a carriage.
"Secretary Yang, please get in the car. My butler is in the car." The young and strong man took a low stool from the car and put it under the car.
Yang Guangyu hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped onto the carriage on a low stool.
The young and strong man picked up the low stool on the ground, put it back on the carriage, and then stood a few steps away from the carriage to guard against others approaching the carriage.
As soon as Yang Guangyu entered the carriage, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a navy blue coat sitting inside.
"Secretary Yang, please sit down." The middle-aged man in the car raised his hand and pointed to the opposite side of him.
Yang Guangyu bent over and took a step towards the car and sat down.
At this time, the middle-aged man in the car said: "I am the housekeeper next to Mr. Zheng in Zhengjiazhuang. Secretary Yang can just call me Housekeeper She."
Yang Guangyu frowned when he heard the name Zhengjiazhuang.
In his impression, there was no place called Zhengjiazhuang in Lingqiu.
Butler She saw his doubts and explained with a smile: "Our young lady is the wife of Lord Lingqiu Guards."
Yang Guangyu was shocked.
Although Lingqiu Shouwei was a military commander, his rank was higher than that of their county magistrate. For him, he was a big shot that was hard to look up to. Moreover, he also heard that there was discord between Huang Shouwei and Tiger Character Banner, and their relationship was not like that of their county magistrate. So good with the Tiger Flag.
Butler She smiled and said, "Shu Li Yang can rest assured this time!"
"Haha, that's right, that's right." Yang Guangyu showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, and immediately asked proactively, "I wonder why Butler She called me here?"
As the saying goes, there are seven rank officials in front of the prime minister. Although Huang Shoubei is not the prime minister, the housekeeper of the garrison mansion is more respected than him, the clerk of the punishment room. He does not believe that housekeeper She pulled him into the car just for a chat. .
Butler She did not answer Yang Guangyu's words, but said: "I heard that Laicai Gambling House has always been under the care of Secretary Yang. I guess it can be regarded as half of Secretary Yang's property!"
Yang Guangyu was speechless.
Lai Cai Gambling House is not only half an industry to him, most of his income comes from Lai Cai Gambling House, otherwise he would not rush over as soon as he heard something happened at the gambling house.
Butler She flapped her fan with her right hand and said with a smile: "I think Secretary Yang must have felt the tyranny of the Tiger Flag himself this time!"
"Huh, bullshit, that's a bunch of people who have no laws." Yang Guangyu snorted coldly, feeling deep hatred for the tiger character flag who tried to steal Lai Cai's gambling house.
After saying that, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly apologized to Butler She: "Butler She, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about the tiger-character flag."
"It's okay." Butler She shook the folding fan in his hand and said, "Actually, the owner of Tiger Flag, Liu Heng, was originally the leader of a group of bandits. He has no laws. This is normal."
"This...how is this possible!" Yang Guangyu was startled, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Butler She said: "Scribe Yang must have heard that the Tiancheng Guards wiped out a group of bandits last year."
Yang Guangyu nodded and said: "The notice at that time was still posted by me personally."
"Then Secretary Yang should know better." Butler She said, "One of the bandits who were suppressed had a leader named Liu Heng, and the owner of the Tiger Flag outside the city happened to be named Liu Heng. Don't Secretary Yang think it's too What a coincidence?"
Yang Guangyu said: "There are many people with the surname Liu, and there are quite a few people named Liu Heng. It is not unusual for them to have the same name."
Butler She smiled and said: "It's not unusual for the names to be the same, but as soon as the Tiancheng Guard cleared out the bandits, a group of bandits appeared in Hutou Village, and the leader happened to be named Liu Heng. This was too much of a coincidence. "
Yang Guangyu said nothing, but he already believed it in his heart.
Butler She continued: "It is not difficult to confirm that Liu Heng of Tiger Character Flag is the bandit leader Liu Heng, because I have met the bandit leader named Liu Heng."
Yang Guangyu asked hesitantly: "Butler She, have you ever seen Liu Heng from Tiger Flag?"
"I've seen it before," Butler She said, "that's why I'm sure the two people are one person."
Yang Guangyu opened his mouth in surprise, and finally said: "Since Butler She has recognized the person, why not report it to the official? I believe that as long as Liu Heng is captured, it will be a great achievement for the garrison."
Butler She shook his head slightly and said: "Shu Li Yang works in the yamen, so he must understand. Even if I can prove that Liu Heng was the original bandit leader, I believe many adults will pretend not to know."
Yang Guangyu nodded with understanding.
When the Tiancheng Guards suppressed the bandits, there was a lot of fuss. There were many people who benefited from it in the officialdom. These people who benefited from it definitely didn't want the matter to be revealed again.
Thinking of this, he said bitterly: "It's just that Liu Heng was hiding so well. First, the bandits were suppressed, so that he could clear out his identity as a bandit, and then he joined forces with the previous guard to create the illusion that Hutou Village was suppressed. , and allowed him to get rid of his identity as a bandit, and now it is difficult to catch him."
"It's not like there's no clue." Butler She said with a smile.
Yang Guangyu asked: "What's the reason?"
