Xujiazhuang in Lingqiu has been in a state of turmoil since Zhao Yutu came back.
All the senior officials of the Tiger Flag who stayed in Lingqiu came to Xujiazhuang's meeting hall.
"Captain, why are you so anxious to find us all? Something happened, right?" Zhang Hong looked at Jia Liu beside him.
Jia Liu shook his head slightly and said, "I rushed over from Dongshan as soon as I got the news. Like you, I don't know what it is."
Like the two of them, there were many people who didn't know the reason. They were whispering to each other, asking if something had happened.
Many people even suspected that something happened on the grassland.
Yang Yuan, the director of the Foreign Affairs Department, also looked puzzled.
Usually when something happens, he is almost always the first to know or inform the council about the matter, but this time the council came suddenly and just asked them to rush to Xujiazhuang without giving any reason.
Zhao Yutu sat at the front of the long table with his eyes slightly closed, not talking to anyone or asking about anything.
Yang Yuan, who noticed this, thought that Zhao Yutu had just returned from Datong and convened a meeting in Tiger Flag, and guessed that the matter might be related to Zhao Yutu, or that Zhao Yutu knew something.
Thinking of this, he tilted his head in the direction of Zhao Yutu and said in a low voice, "Mr. Zhao, what is the reason why the head of the family summoned everyone to discuss this matter?"
Zhao Yutu opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Yang Yuan, and said, "Brother Yang, you have to be careful."
"I'm careful." Yang Yuan was startled and then asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Yutu smiled and said nothing.
At this moment, the cotton curtain in front of the meeting hall was opened, and Liu Heng walked in from the outside.
Everyone around the long table stood up for a moment.
Liu Heng came to the empty seat at the top of the long table with an expressionless face and sat down.
Several attendants from the Attendance Department walked towards the table behind the long table.
"Sit down" Liu Heng said calmly.
The people around the long table noticed Liu Heng's expression, and their faces became serious.
When everyone was seated, Liu Heng looked at Zhao Yutu and said, "Mr. Zhao, tell me the reason for calling everyone together this time."
"Yes." Zhao Yutu agreed, stood up and said, "This time I went to Datong, met the governor and the general soldier, and told the two adults why the bonus was late. The two adults also understood and did not blame our tiger character flag. meaning, but”
At this point, his voice paused.
People around the long table knew that the important point had been reached, and everyone cheered up, their eyes locked on Zhao Yutu.
Just listen to Zhao Yutu continue to say, "Governor Liu will leave Datong soon and return to Beijing to meet the emperor, and the new governor will take office before the year."
Yang Yuan, who was sitting next to Zhao Yutu, turned pale all of a sudden.
The Foreign Intelligence Bureau did not get any information about such a big matter, and the Secret Service's secret spot in the capital has not yet sent back any news about the governor of Datong, which is a serious dereliction of duty.
Then, he secretly glanced at Liu Heng, who was sitting at the top, and found that Liu Heng was not looking at him at all.
But he knew that what happened this time was his mistake. He failed to get the changes from the governor of Datong in time. No wonder Zhao Yutu reminded him to be careful.
Liu Heng interjected, "This time the new governor of Datong has some relationship with our Tiger Flag. He is not a complete stranger."
"The new governor is an official of Datong Prefecture," Chen Xunping asked doubtfully.
Many people here are already guessing which Datong official will take over as governor.
Zhao Yutu said, "He is not from our Datong Mansion. The new governor is from Taiyuan."
"Who can it be in Taiyuan?" Chen Xunping asked Zhao Yutu.
"Xu Tong" Zhao Yutu said a name.
Hearing such a strange name, many people present looked puzzled, wondering what the relationship between this person and their Tiger Flag was.
Unlike others, Yang Yuan had cold sweat streaming down his face at this time.
"Director Yang, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Zhang Hong, who was sitting next to Yang Yuan, noticed something was wrong with Yang Yuan and asked with concern.
Yang Yuan ignored Zhang Hong, but hesitantly said to Zhao Yutu, "Is this Xu Tong related to the Xu family in Lingqiu?"
Zhao Yutu nodded slightly.
Hearing the words Lingqiu Xu Family, many people present changed their expressions.
Anyone who can sit here and participate in the discussion knows the Xu family in Lingqiu. It is precisely because of the Xu family that the Tiger Character Banner has developed today. It can be said that the Xu family is the number one brand in the Tiger Character Banner in Lingqiu. A decent opponent.
Some people even knew that Xu Youcai's death was inseparable from the Tiger Flag, and the Xu family's property was also conspired by the Tiger Flag.
Noticing the expressions of these people, Liu Heng said, "I'm so scared."
"There's nothing to be afraid of," Chen Xunping said. "The soldiers will come and cover up the water and earth. The worst we can do is fight him."
"Yes, fight them." Jia Liu shouted.
Huang Chong, who was sitting at the back of the long table, said with a worried look on his face, "That's the governor, how can you survive a hard fight?"
Zhang Hong said, "Isn't General Zhang still here? As long as he supports us, it may not be impossible to compete with the governor Xu Tong."
Zhao Yutu shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about whether Zhang Huai will offend the governor of Datong for us. Even if he is willing to go against the governor, Xu Tong is the new governor who has just taken office. If there is a feud between the governor and the soldiers, the court will definitely treat Zhang Huai. The transfer of the commander-in-chief will not do any good to our Tiger Flag, but it will lose support."
Liu Heng, who was sitting at the top, rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers.
The arrival of Xu Tong was definitely a disaster for their Tiger Character Banner. The entire Xu family in Lingqiu was taken care of by him. He did not believe that Xu Tong would let their Tiger Character Banner go easily.
"Otherwise I'll send someone to assassinate him secretly," Yang Yuan suddenly said.
The room suddenly became quiet, and no one spoke for a while. Many people looked at Liu Heng.
Assassinating a governor is definitely a shocking event.
Liu Heng waved his hand and said no. The newly appointed governor died in Datong. The court was absolutely furious. There was no way we wouldn't send people to investigate. No matter how flawless we were, the Tiger Flag would still be on the court's radar.
"My subordinates can assassinate Xu Tong before he arrives in Datong." Yang Yuan added.
Liu Heng waved his hand and said, "Once Xu Tong dies, the first thing officials in Datong Mansion will suspect is the hand of our tiger character flag. They don't need any evidence at all. If they dare to assassinate officials, they will definitely attract the attention of Datong civil and military officials." Everyone is in danger, and at that time Datong officials will be thinking about how to get rid of us as a threat."
The assassination plan was rejected.
Chen Xunping couldn't help but said, "This won't work, and that won't work either. Let's just do it now. With the current number of troops in our Tiger Flag, we can easily raise an army of tens of thousands of people."
The word zàofǎn was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone in the room, even the attendant who was taking notes, and they all stopped what they were doing.
