Yang Yuqian thought more than others.
At this time of year, Lingqiu suddenly changed its defense, and most likely it was for the Tiger Flag.
A garrison official in Datong is not considered a high-ranking official, but he can be sent to an important place like Lingqiu. He must have a background behind him, and this background should be the promoter of the Tiger Flag.
He did not expect Lingqiu Guards to be able to save him, but he hoped that through Lingqiu Guards, he could find out the connections behind the other party and save the lives of the Yang family.
It can be said that he is not optimistic about the Tiger Flag, and believes that it will be a matter of time before the Tiger Flag is eradicated by the imperial court. He wants to find a way out for himself and the Yang family before the imperial court actually takes action.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you help Yang Dongzhu up quickly?" Zheng Shuqi scolded him for his long words, and then said to Yang Yuqian in a warm tone, "It's cold on the ground. If you have anything to say, you can stand up and say it."
Chang Sui once again stretched out his hand to support Yang Yuqian.
This time Yang Yuqian didn't resist and stood up.
Zheng Shuqi looked at him and said: "I will send people to investigate the matter of Dongzhu Yang. If it is really like what Dongzhu Yang said, I will report the truth to the court and restore Dongzhu Yang's innocence."
"On behalf of the thirty-seven members of the Yang family, I would like to thank the chief guard in advance." Yang Yu bowed deeply to Zheng Shuqi in front of him.
Zheng Shuqi waved his hand gently and said: "Don't be too hasty to thank me. There is one more thing I want to make clear in advance. If what Yang Dongzhu said is not true, I will not be merciful."
When he said the last sentence, his voice suddenly turned cold.
"Every sentence below is true, and there is absolutely no lie." Yang Yuqian said nervously.
At this time, Zheng Shuqi laughed and said: "Don't be nervous, Boss Yang. The tiger-character flag is the tiger-character flag, and the Yang family is the Yang family. The two are still different. As for the Yang family's iron farm in Dongshan..."
Halfway through, he looked at Yang Yuqian.
Yang Yuqian took advantage of the situation and said: "The Yang family no longer has an iron farm in Dongshan. Now everything in Dongshan has nothing to do with the Yang family."
"I have taken note of it." Zheng Shuqi smiled and nodded.
And Yang Yuqian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the Yang family's iron yard on Dongshan Mountain, in his opinion, it is already a source of disaster. If someone is willing to take it, he is naturally willing to get rid of it. Besides, those who want the iron yard can still save the Yang family's people.
Of course, he also understood that the iron field in Dongshan was now in the hands of the Tiger Flag. Even if the defense lord wanted to get it, he had to wait until the Tiger Flag was eradicated.
Zheng Shuqi picked up the tureen on the table, held it in his hand, and used the lid to stir the tea inside.
When the officer next to him saw it, he said: "Sir, there are still a few official documents that need to be processed as soon as possible. The General Military Mansion is still waiting for the reply from Lingqiu."
"If you didn't remind me, I almost forgot such an important matter." Zheng Shuqi put down the tureen in his hand and turned to Yang Yuqian and said, "Dr. Yang, I have written down your matter. I also have some official documents here. If you have to deal with it, I won’t leave you alone.”
An eviction order was issued.
"I won't disturb the master of the defense." Yang Yuqian said goodbye very wisely.
Zheng Shuqi nodded.
The chief attendant on the side made an invitation gesture towards Yang Yu and said, "Please, Mr. Yang, I will see you off."
"Good work."
Facing the people around Zheng Shuqi, Yang Yuqian bowed his hands very politely, and then followed the other person and left the back office.
Zheng Guang, who sent Yang Yu away, returned to Zheng Shuqi.
Zheng Shuqi raised his eyelids and asked, "Are you sent away?"
"Already sent away, I watched him get on the carriage with my own eyes." Zheng Guang said respectfully.
Zheng Shuqi pointed to the silver on the table next to him and said, "Remember to send these silver to the accounting office later."
After Yang Yuqian left the back office, he took out the cloth bag containing the silver from under the table and counted the silver inside.
"This Mr. Yang is really rich. He can spend five hundred taels at a time. In the past, there were not many people in Tianchengwei who could afford five hundred taels." Zheng Guang tied the mouth of the cloth bag again as he spoke.
Zheng Shuqi snorted and said: "This Yang Yu has made a lot of money following the Tiger Flag in the past few years. Naturally, he has no shortage of money to help him. Let alone 500 taels, I am afraid he can even get 5,000 taels."
Before he came, he knew something about Lingqiu's situation. He had long remembered the few Lingqiu squires who had close contacts with Tiger Character Banner.
He didn't dare to do anything to the tiger-character flag yet, but he was not prepared to hold back on these squires who were involved with the tiger-character flag, and was ready to tear off a piece of flesh.
"Sir, do you really want to take care of the Yang family? Their relationship with Tiger Flag has been known to everyone for a long time. I'm afraid it's hard to get their money." Zheng Guang reminded.
After hearing this, Zheng Shuqi smiled softly and said: "Master, I can take the money as I should, not only from the Yang family, but also from other families. As for whether they are alive or dead, what does it have to do with me, Master?" , they themselves participated in the rebellion, and they brought their own death upon themselves."
"Isn't it a good idea to do this?" Zheng Guang said hesitantly.
He felt it was inappropriate to take money and do nothing.
Zheng Shuqi snorted and said, "I am not the first to do this. The one from Yang He Wei has a darker heart towards the Tian family in Xuanfu than I do."
The news that Pei Hong of Yanghe Wei had tricked the Tian family in Xuan Mansion had long been spread. Even if Pei Hong made an excuse for such a thing, no one would believe it.
It can be said that Pei Hong's reputation is already bad in Datong, and few people will still ask Pei Hong for help, for fear that they will spend money but the matter will not be handled.
"That's right. When the imperial court takes action against the Tiger-Character Flag, none of the squires in Lingqiu who are close to the Tiger-Character Flag will be able to escape. They are all guilty of confiscating their homes and annihilating their clans." Although Zheng Guang felt that it was not good to do so. , but still followed Zheng Shuqi’s words.
As for why Zheng Shuqi did this, he also understood.
The few squires in Lingqiu who are related to the Tiger-Character Banner all make money with the Tiger-Character Banner, and they will be jealous of anyone who is left to guard Lingqiu.
There were already dead squires on the left and right. Instead of waiting for these squires' money to be secretly divided by other officials when they were confiscated, it was better to get a sum of money into their pockets first.
Zheng Shuqi leaned back and said: "The Yang family's ability to find me today means that these families in Lingqiu have received the letter and know that the Tiger Flag ship is going to sink and want to jump off the ship to survive. , Zheng Guang, please remember to spread the word about my promise to protect the Yang family and let other families in Lingqiu know."
He looked at Zheng Guang on the side.
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely spread the news. I guarantee it won't take a few days,"
Only those powerful officials in Datong can do it.
