Yang Yuan walked quickly from outside, arrived at the door of the custody room, and said to the soldiers standing guard in front of the door: "Is the master here?"
"The boss is inside." The soldier on guard replied.
Yang Yuan walked past Zhan Bing and walked into the signing room.
Liu Heng, who was sitting behind the desk, heard footsteps and looked up at Yang Yuan who entered the room, and asked, "Has Xu Tong's affairs been arranged?"
Yang Yuan said: "The arrangements have been made. Our people will take action as soon as they leave Datong."
"Be clean and don't leave any evidence. Even if Xu Tong has lost power, he was still a second-rank official before he entered Beijing." Liu Heng warned.
Yang Yuan said solemnly: "Don't worry, Boss, no one will think that our tiger character flag did this. In the eyes of outsiders, it will only be an accident."
"That's good." Liu Heng nodded and said with a smile, "I can rest assured that you will do your job."
"One more thing," Yang Yuan said, "Zhang Huai's aide Wang Qingyuan sent news through our foreign affairs personnel in Datong, saying that Liu Hong hopes that the boss can go to Datong to meet him."
"Meet me?" Liu Heng frowned slightly, put down the account book in his hand, and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to see me?"
"That's not true." Yang Yuan shook his head, and then said, "Our secret spies in Datong also secretly inquired, but we didn't get any information. It seems that Liu Hong never mentioned to anyone why he wanted to see you, the boss. Even Du Wanyuan, Liu Hong’s aide, also didn’t know about it.”
Liu Heng looked thoughtful and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
Yang Yuan stood aside and said nothing.
After a long while, Liu Hengcai asked: "Has Liu Hong made any moves against our Tiger Flag since he took office?"
Yang Yuan thought for a while and said: "As soon as he took office, he asked Zhang Huai to send General Li Shen of Xinpingbao to the Daliang Mountains to suppress the bandits. However, our people in the Daliang Mountains have already retreated to the grassland. The other thing is to fight with the Zhenguo." It is related to the death of the general, and Liu Hong should have been ordered by the court to find the murderer of the general who killed the country."
"Do you think Liu Hong suspects that the death of General Zhenguo is related to the Tiger Flag?" Liu Heng asked.
Yang Yuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "General Zhenguo's matter was handled very cleanly. Except for the person who did it, no one would think that it was us who did it, and the subordinates of the person who did it have been sent to Tianjin. Wei, go with the ship to Da Yuan Island, even if the governor's Yamen people want to find evidence, they can't find it."
"Sit down." Liu Heng pointed to the chair in the holding room, and then shouted to the door: "Here comes someone!"
The soldiers standing guard outside the door walked into the signing room.
Liu Heng said to the soldier: "Send someone to invite Mr. Zhao."
"Yes." The soldier agreed, turned around and retreated.
At this time, Zhao Wu walked in with a big tea vat in his hand, came to Liu Heng's desk, and placed the big tea vat on it.
There was food in the big teapot, and the aroma of meat wafted out from it, causing Yang Yuan on the side to take a deep breath subconsciously.
Liu Heng noticed it and said to Zhao Wu with a smile: "Go and get two more meals. Yang Yuan and Mr. Zhao will have dinner here later."
"Yes." Zhao Wu agreed and left the signing room.
"Potato stew, I've been craving this for a long time." Yang Yuan said with a smile.
Liu Heng said with a smile: "Eat more if you like. Mr. Zhao should not have eaten yet. You and Mr. Zhao will eat at my place later and we can chat while eating."
"Yes, I will follow the boss's arrangements." Yang Yuan stood up and put his hands down.
"Sit down, you know I don't pay attention to these false etiquette." Liu Heng raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down.
Yang Yuan sat down again.
At this time, Zhao Yutu walked in from outside.
"Master, are you looking for me?" Zhao Yutu glanced at Yang Yuan again and said with a smile, "Director Yang is here too."
Yang Yuan nodded.
"Sit." Liu Heng pointed to the seat next to him with his finger.
Zhao Yutu walked over and sat down, just opposite Yang Yuan.
Liu Heng put his hands on the table, looked at Zhao Yutu and said, "I want to leave Lingqiu for a trip. During the time I am away, you will be in charge of Xujiazhuang."
"Master, are you really going to Datong?" Yang Yuan was surprised.
"What? Go to Datong!" Zhao Yutu suddenly stood up and said immediately, "No, my subordinates disagree. It is too dangerous to go to Datong at this time."
"Master," Yang Yuan said, "Mr. Zhao is right. It is too dangerous to go to Datong at this time. No one knows Liu Hong's attitude towards our Tiger Flag."
"The boss is going to see Liu Hong? The new governor?" Zhao Yutu said doubtfully.
Yang Yuan explained: "Liu Hong sent someone to send a message and wanted to see our boss."
"What does he, a governor, do when he meets our boss?" Zhao Yutu frowned, "As far as my subordinates know, Liu Hong took over as governor not long ago and should be busy cleaning up the mess left by Xu Tong. How can he have time to meet the boss? Such a white businessman."
He looked puzzled.
Yang Yuan said: "Master, we have to be on guard against Liu Hong. Although he has never targeted our Tiger Flag before, no one knows what his attitude will be towards our Tiger Flag when he comes back this time."
"It doesn't matter." Liu Heng waved his hand and said, "The Foreign Intelligence Bureau has been deployed in Datong for so long, can't it even guarantee my safety?"
As he said that, he looked at Yang Yuan.
Yang Yuan stood up from his seat and said: "No matter where in Datong, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau can ensure the safety of the big boss. Even if the big boss is arrested in Datong, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau has the ability to bring the big boss out of prison. "
"What are you talking about!" Zhao Yutu said with dissatisfaction, "Yang Yuan, you want to persuade the boss not to go to Datong, not whether you can guarantee the boss's safety in Datong."
Liu Heng said with a smile: "Okay, don't try to persuade him. Now Liu Hong is the governor of Datong. It will be good for our Tiger Flag to meet him, and we should not offend him at this time."
"It's better to let my subordinates go to Datong to meet Liu Hong, and the boss will be stationed in Lingqiu." Zhao Yutu suggested.
Liu Heng shook his head and said: "The person Liu Hong wants to see is me. It's useless for any of you to go. You might offend him. And I'm also very curious as to why he wanted to see me as soon as he came to Datong." A white-bodied businessman.”
"My subordinates believe that it is too dangerous for the Master to go to Datong in person. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. With the strength of our Tiger Flag, there is no need for the Master to take this risk." Zhao Yutu continued to persuade.
Liu Heng smiled and said: "With the Foreign Intelligence Agency protecting my safety, nothing will happen. Moreover, the next six months to one year will be a critical moment for our Tiger Flag to expand our army. If we can cooperate with Liu Heng at this time, It is a good thing for us to maintain a good relationship with Macro."
He paused for a moment and continued: "You don't need to persuade me, I decided to go to Datong to meet Liu Hong."
Zhao Yutu, who was standing by, saw that Liu Heng was determined to go to Datong. Knowing that there was no way to persuade him, he asked, "When is the boss going to leave?"
"We'll hit the road after dinner soon. We'll be in Datong almost tomorrow." Liu Heng said, "Yang Yuan will go with me, Zhao Wu will stay, and Mr. Zhao will be in charge of Xujiazhuang. If anything important happens, I can let him Zhao Wu arranged for someone to go to Datong to inform me."
Zhao Yutu nodded.
At this moment, Zhao Wu walked in from outside with two large tea jars in his hands.
