Although Yang Cong failed to clean up Chen Wenjie as he wished, he learned a lot of things, under the deliberate guidance of Xu Jie, he has a new understanding of the struggle in the Ming officialdom, which is quite useful for him to enter the officialdom in the future.

Of course, he is still just a child at this time, and it is still too early to enter the officialdom.

After the government test was over and Chen Wenjie's matter was over, he returned to Hui'an with Yu Dayou and others and a group of personal guards.

He won two yuan in the county test and the government test, and the old lady Yang Rong was naturally happy, originally, the old lady wanted to reward him with a sum of silver, but Yang Cong politely refused.

He didn't like a lot of money, the main Longxi Chen family had already promised to compensate him with 10,000 taels of silver, how could he use up so much silver for a while, if the old lady gave him a few thousand taels or even tens of thousands of taels, his room would be full of silver, lying on the silver to sleep, he didn't have this hobby.

However, this Longxi Chen's silver is not so easy to take, with Chen Wenjie's personality, it is almost impossible to make him honestly pay 10,000 taels of silver.

Sure enough, less than five days after Yang Cong returned to Hui'an, the Longxi Chen family sent someone to deliver a letter, and the letter was full of one sentence: In the afternoon of five days, at the west gate of Tong'an County, 10,000 taels of silver were delivered on time.

Nima, this trace is written by Chen Wenjie at first glance, this kid, he is so arrogant to lose money.

Yang Cong had long expected that the Longxi Chen clan would definitely not be so happy, and it would definitely take a little effort to get this ten thousand taels of silver, but he didn't expect that people would let him go to Tong'an County to get it in person.

Tong'an is next to Zhangzhou Mansion, only more than 100 miles away from Longxi, but more than 300 miles away from Hui'an, the Yang family basically has no power over there, but the Longxi Chen family is very powerful over there, if he goes to take the silver, in broad daylight, it is unlikely that people will kill people at the city gate, but it is very possible to deliberately find fault and humiliate themselves or even beat themselves.

Chen Wenjie doesn't have any character at all, he decided to do this kind of thing.

Yang Cong must have to get this 10,000 taels of silver, he still has this kind, of course, he will not go defenselessly, he doesn't want to give Chen Wenjie a chance to find fault and humiliate himself.

So, how do you prepare for it?

It's someone's territory, Chen Wenjie can gather hundreds or even hundreds of people casually, if they really gather a few hundred people, then the twenty or so people under him are probably not enough, can Yu Dayou and the three of them ensure that they are safe?

This thing is not good, even if Yu Dayou is the number one master in the world, if there are too many people, he may not be able to protect himself, after all, the main goal of people is himself, and when the time comes, it will not be easy to be poked a few times with a stick or even give him a dull stick on his head for some reason.

What to do?

At this time, he thought of the Yongning Acropolis, although the county seat of Tong'an is far away from Hui'an, it is only more than 100 miles away from the Yongning Acropolis.

However, Li Xixian still has to ask his grandfather to come forward to take a note, or write a letter, or give some gifts or something, in short, it would be good to ask Li Xixian to help.

Unexpectedly, this matter was really a bit of a coincidence, Yang Cong ran to his grandfather and said that his grandfather actually told him that Li Xixian's fiftieth birthday was more than ten days later.

For such a big event, the Yang family was originally going to send someone to celebrate, but Yang Rong was much older than Li Xixian after all, and the two were not close friends, so it was a bit nondescript to go to congratulate people on their birthdays in person, and this kind of thing was generally the most appropriate to send the younger generations of the family to it.

Yang Rong is thinking about who to send, Yang Cong said this, just right, let his eldest son and grandson go, not only look solemn, but also take advantage of the situation to get the 10,000 taels of silver from the Longxi Chen family.

Of course, congratulations to birthdays, help to help, this help can't let people help in vain.

Originally, Yang Rong planned to give five hundred taels of silver to others and take a car of congratulatory gifts, if it was just a birthday, this would already be a big gift, but if it was a shock for people to send troops to help, this gift seemed to be slightly insufficient.

Yang Rong gritted his teeth, and simply added another five hundred taels of silver, and made up a whole number for others, one thousand taels, which seemed to be a bit wronged, but for the safety of his grandson, this money was obtained.

As soon as the grandfather and grandson combined, early the next morning, Yang Cong set off with a cart of gifts and a thousand taels of silver.

This time Yang Cong did not take the carriage, because the carriage is easy to be surrounded by people, if Chen Wenjie really gathered hundreds of people around him regardless of his face, the carriage may not have time to turn around and will be blocked, and there is no such concern when riding a horse, a two-legged person is still difficult to block a four-legged horse, so he chose to ride a horse this time, and Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng, Tang Kekuan and more than a dozen guards were all riding horses, so Peng Fu and Hou Zhitan drove a flat carriage to pull things.

Hui'an to the Yongning Acropolis is more than 200 miles, if the horse gallops for a day, it can be reached, however, it is still early at this time, Yang Cong did not rush all the way, on the first day he only drove more than 100 miles, that night, he found a temple near Jinjiang County to rest for a night, and the next afternoon Shen Shixu and his party arrived at the Yongning Acropolis.

To tell the truth, it was the first time he saw such an important town as the Yongning Acropolis, he was shocked by the majestic city wall from afar, the city wall of more than two zhang high, what concept, it is seven or eight meters high, the city wall of Quanzhou Mansion City is not so high, and the city wall of Yongning Acropolis is not as bare as Quanzhou Mansion City, there is nothing, there are many arrow towers on it, the city tower is towering, and there are guards on duty everywhere, which gives people a sense of majesty at a glance.

The arrival of their group also attracted the attention of the guards at the city gate, after all, they were riding more than twenty horses, and the guards on the horses were all strong and strong, and they looked a little imposing.

Fortunately, the Hui'an Yang family came to Yongning Acropolis to give gifts not once or twice, and the city gate guards also heard of the Yang family's God of Wealth, so as soon as they heard that it was the Hui'an Yang family's team to celebrate their birthday, the guards at the city gate were very polite to them, and they were only released after a little inspection.

Yang Cong was also the first time to come to this kind of guard station, he was more curious about everything inside, after entering the city, he threw the reins in his hand to the guards behind him, and then looked around with his hands in his hands.

This Yongning Acropolis is really very different from the general city, it is full of guards wearing military uniforms, not to mention, most of the shops along the street are opened by the guards and military households, what iron, clothing, buy all kinds of utensils, etc., the shop signs are written that a certain inspection department of a hundred years old brand or something, and most of the things made are also with the atmosphere of the Ming army, which looks very majestic.

At this time, the Dusi Guard has not yet rotted to the level of the Apocalypse Dynasty and the Chongzhen Dynasty, and there are still some things in the Yongning Acropolis, and even people like Yang Cong who have seen the "big world" can see it with relish.
