Yang Yuan put his hands on the table, looked at Mr. Liu in front of him, and said, "Mr. Liu should be clear about my purpose of coming. As for other things, I don't think we need to argue here."
"Liu Heng is so cruel!" Mr. Liu suddenly said.
Yang Yuan leaned forward and said coldly: "I don't think Mr. Liu wants his and his family's bodies to be discovered in the moat?"
"You..." Mr. Liu raised his finger and pointed at Yang Yuan, and his body trembled.
Yang Yuan continued: "Mr. Liu's two children are very cute. The eldest son has already entered school. Maybe he will have another seed to study in the future."
"Don't mess around!" Mr. Liu looked nervous.
Yang Yuan leaned back and said, "It depends on Mr. Liu's choice."
Mr. Liu's face changed several times, and he finally said: "You yourself should know best what things you Tiger Character Banners have done. Why do you have to know how much the governor knows about your Tiger Character Banners."
"That is our own business and has nothing to do with Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu only needs to tell me how much Xu Tong knows about our Tiger Flag." Yang Yuan said with one hand on the table.
Mr. Liu hesitated for a long time and then said: "If I tell you everything I know, you must promise not to touch my family."
"That's natural." Yang Yuan spread his hands.
"I hope you can keep your word." Mr. Liu said, and then added, "The governor knows a lot about your Tiger Flag, but there has been no conclusive evidence. In addition, Liu Heng bribed many officials in Datong. The governor does not It’s convenient to attack Liu Heng forcefully.”
Yang Yuan asked: "What do you know specifically?"
"For example, making cannons..." Mr. Liu paused and continued, "Don't use the firecracker factory as an excuse. Lingqiu Guard Huang An can confirm that your Tiger Flag is making cannons, but there is no conclusive evidence."
Yang Yuan raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation and said, "Continue talking."
"In addition to casting cannons, the governor suspects that you are related to the bandits in Daliang Mountain, but no evidence has been found yet." Mr. Liu said.
Yang Yuan pursed his lips and said, "Are these two things the only thing?"
"Of course there are more than these two." Mr. Liu said, "But I am very curious, are the bandits in Daliang Mountain really related to your Tiger Flag?"
Yang Yuan crossed his arms and said: "Mr. Liu, please continue to talk about what Xu Tong knows, or what he suspects. As for the bandits in Daliang Mountain, it has nothing to do with the conversation between us, and there is a saying called knowing The more you have, the faster you die.
Hearing Yang Yuan's threatening words, Mr. Liu trembled, and then he remembered that the other party was not a good man.
But I am already certain in my heart that there is indeed a secret connection between Daliang Mountain and the Tiger Flag.
However, he no longer mentioned the matter in Daliang Mountain, but said: "The roots of your Tiger Flag are not clean. Liu Heng was a bandit who fled from Liaodong to Datong, and later settled in Hutou Village, but no matter what the original The wandering bandits and the bandits from Hutou Village have been nominally eliminated by the government, but Liu Heng was allowed to clear his identity."
"What else!" Yang Yuan asked.
Mr. Liu said: "There are still many missing people, which should be related to your Tiger Character Banner. Presumably those people have died in the hands of your Tiger Character Banner, just like you killed the general of Zhenguo."
After speaking, he glanced at Yang Yuan.
Seeing that Yang Yuan didn't respond, he had no choice but to continue: "Your Tiger Flag has set up regiment training, Dongshan iron yard maintenance guards, bodyguards from the Escort Bureau, and even cavalry. These are all private soldiers raised by your Tiger Flag. Now they are actively accepting refugees from Liaodong. If Liu Heng is said to be kind, neither I nor the governor will believe it at all."
Yang Yuan waved his hand and said: "My boss does not maintain a private army. The matter of regiment training has been reported to Lingqiu County Magistrate. Guards at the iron yard have always existed. It is not exclusive to our Tiger Flag family, and our Tiger Flag team every day." We carry a lot of goods on one trip, so we naturally need bodyguards to escort them. As for taking in the refugees, my boss is soft-hearted and can't bear to see them suffer from hunger and cold."
Mr. Liu said: "It's useless for you to tell me this. If the court knows that your Tiger Flag has raised so many soldiers and horses, it will only treat you as traitors."
"What you said is just speculation and there is no definite evidence." Yang Yuan shook his head slightly.
Mr. Liu said: "If these things are known to the court, even if there is no definite evidence, the court will only kill the wrongdoers rather than let them go. What's more, everyone in Datong knows about the smuggling of the tiger flag into the grassland. In addition, General Zhenguo was arrested." If you kill, the court will have enough reason to take action against you."
"Who said I killed General Zhenguo?" Yang Yuan asked back.
Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment, then said: "In the restaurant, you personally said that General Zhenguo was killed by you."
"I didn't say that." Yang Yuan shook his head and said, "I only said that General Zhenguo died in the moat outside the city, but I didn't say that I was the one who killed him."
It is true that he did not kill the person. As the director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, it was impossible for Datong to kill someone. He had to come to Datong himself to do it.
Mr. Liu hesitated.
Looking back on what happened in the restaurant two days ago, it seems that the man in front of him really never said that he had killed General Zhenguo. It was just the other party's words that made him subconsciously think that the person was killed by the tiger-character flag.
However, the one who benefited the most from the death of General Zhenguo was Tiger Character Banner. Because this incident directly caused the governor's position to be unstable, he still suspected that General Zhenguo was harmed by Tiger Character Banner.
Yang Yuan sat upright and said in a calm tone: "I heard you say a lot, but there are few things with conclusive evidence. They are all Xu Tong's own speculation."
"These guesses are enough." Mr. Liu said, "If the court knew what your Tiger Flag had done, it would never let your Tiger Flag continue to exist."
Yang Yuan did not answer, but stood up and said: "In the future, when Mr. Liu and his family return to Guangling, the land deed for twenty acres of fertile land and three hundred taels of cash will be delivered to his house."
"Humph!" Mr. Liu snorted coldly, but did not refuse the benefits offered by Yang Yuan.
"Farewell." Yang Yuan hugged Mr. Liu, turned around and left the room.
When he got to the courtyard and saw Mrs. Liu guarding the courtyard gate, he said, "I'm disturbing Mrs. Sister-in-law today."
Mrs. Liu asked doubtfully: "Mr. Yang, are you leaving?"
"Now that we've finished talking, I won't disturb you any further, so I'll take my leave first." Yang Yuan cupped his hands, pushed open the courtyard door, and walked out.
Mrs. Liu stood in front of the courtyard door. When she saw Yang Yuan walking away, she returned to the courtyard, closed the courtyard door again, and bolted the door.
Back in the house, she sat on the seat next to Mr. Liu and asked curiously: "Why did Mr. Yang leave so quickly? Why didn't the master let him eat before leaving?"
Mr. Liu glanced at his wife and said solemnly: "Don't interact with this person in the future. Even if you see him on the street, treat him as if you don't know him."
"Did you quarrel?" Mrs. Liu asked confused.
Mr. Liu's face sank and he said: "You woman, what do you know? Just do as I say. That man is not a good person. We must not let others know that we have any dealings with him."
Although Mrs. Liu didn't quite understand why the other party was not a good person, she nodded when she saw that her master said it so solemnly.
