"My lord......" Hearing this command, Ding Yue changed color when he moved to the landing, and couldn't help but scream, but he couldn't say anything when the words of opposition came to his mouth. Because it was Yang Yiqing who gave this order, and he was the most beloved and trusted court official in the entire Datong and even in the entire northern Xinjiang, he naturally hesitated.

After the soldiers took the order and left, Yang Yiqing turned his head and glanced at the subordinates in front of him: "Yue Qian, is he blaming the official for taking people?" Although his gaze was not very sharp, if it was substantial, it actually made Ding Yueqian panic for a while, and hurriedly lowered his head and hugged his fists: "The last general will not dare." ”

"I know what you're thinking, he has really made a lot of contributions in the security fort this time, and it also makes you and the soldiers below admire, so you will bring him to this official regardless of the rules. But do you know what he did before he came here? Yang Yiqing didn't mean to be angry, and asked with a flat expression.

This stopped Ding Yueqian, only to see him shake his head blankly: "I don't know, please let your lord make it clear." ”

"Just two days ago, Biguan County sent someone to report, saying that there was a county official Yang Chen, who was thrown into prison because he committed a felony of destroying the door, and then he broke out to kill people, and after killing several officials of the county government, he escaped from Guancheng with his accomplice Huang Feng. As far as the people who came said, this Yang Chen is likely to be a spy who was inserted into my Daming border fortress town, and he has to guard against it. Now you have suddenly brought him to Datong, and the official should have taken him down! Yang Yiqing patiently explained a few words.

And after listening to this explanation, Ding Yueqian's face suddenly showed disbelief and entanglement: "This ...... How can it be? He had fought very hard with the Tartars, and if he hadn't led his men to kill him in time, he would have died in the fort by this time. How could he be a Tartar spy? ”

"It's hard to say what's going on. However, for the sake of my safety, this official will never risk keeping him by his side. ”

"Yes, the Admiral understands." Lord Yang has said this part, and Ding Yueqian, as a subordinate, is naturally not good at insisting, so he can only reluctantly accept such a fact. It's just that he has a very bad feeling in his heart, and he feels that he has caused Yang Chen to fall to such a point.

Yang Yiqing didn't pay attention to his thoughts, just waved his hand and said, "You have fought hard this time, go back and rest first." Tomorrow, the official will reward you for your meritorious deeds. ”

"Lord Xie, I will retire at the end." Although he made a lot of contributions this time, maybe he could be promoted because of this, Ding Yueqian didn't look very excited, but seemed preoccupied.

At the same time, Yang Chen, who was waiting outside, thinking that he could see Yang Yiqing and tell everything the truth, saw a group of soldiers with serious expressions running out, and after seeing him, the person who started asked asked, "You are Yang Chen from Biguan County?" ”

"It's down there, I don't know how to call a few people?" Yang Chen half-stood up and asked politely. In response to him, these soldiers suddenly swarmed him, lifted him off the stretcher, and then walked in without saying a word.

"What are you doing here?" Yang Chen was a little surprised by the other party's rude behavior, but the injuries on his body made him unable to even use the strength to struggle, so he could only ask angrily.

"On the orders of the chief lord, I will put you in prison and take care of you!" After the leader replied with such a straight voice, he stopped saying a word, and led him around to a very remote cell.

Yang Chen really didn't expect that he would have such an encounter after coming to Datong, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a long time. can only be passively taken into the prison by these people, and then he said angrily: "I am innocent, how can Lord Yang lock me up without asking?" As he spoke, his body twisted violently a few times, but he could not get out of the grasp of these soldiers, but because of his exertion, he dropped something in his arms and fell to the ground with a loud sound.

When several soldiers saw this, they picked it up casually, but found that it was a piece of waist card wrapped in a somewhat tattered account book. That is naturally the waist card of Jinyiwei, and the evidence that can prove that the officials in the Guanli accepted bribes and were shoddy in the repair of the Great Wall.

The soldiers didn't open the account book to take a closer look, but after scanning the waist card, their faces changed slightly, obviously recognizing that this was a token of Jinyiwei. But they didn't say anything, just sent Yang Chen to the cell, locked the cell door, and went back with the waist card to hand it over.

Yang Chen, on the other hand, sat on the cold ground, panting with unwillingness and anger on his face. If it weren't for the fact that he was really powerless to resist under his serious injuries, he really couldn't take himself with these people alone.

It was only after a long time that he calmed down, observing the cell in which he was being held, and wondering why things had turned out the way they were. It stands to reason that with Yang Yiqing's reputation, he would never let people put themselves in prison without asking a few words. Then there is only one explanation, it must be that the wicked people who are one step earlier in the head of the head must sue first, and they will be condemned to death on their own heads.

It must be so! Thinking about this, his face became a little ugly. There is a saying that the three of them become tigers, and everyone is gold, and it is indeed difficult for a fugitive to win the trust of Yang Yiqing, and now the only hope is that the brocade cloth waist card can play a role, and those people can send the account book to Yang Yiqing.

But this kind of thing was no longer under his control, which made Yang Chen feel powerless in his heart, and after a long sigh, he closed his eyes and fainted because of exhaustion. He had done enough in this matter, and he thought that he had a clear conscience, and if he couldn't expose the crimes of those people in the end, then he could only say that it was providential.

————

I don't know how long it took, Yang Chen was suddenly awakened by a sound of footsteps. When he opened his eyes, he saw three figures walking towards him.

Because of the encounter in the prison of Biguan County, he suddenly became vigilant, and while closing his eyes and pretending to sleep to confuse those people, he was secretly accumulating strength. He won't accept his fate easily, if these people really want their lives, they can't only fight with one of them to the end, and kill one of them.

Just as he was getting ready, the footsteps stopped outside the prison door, and a gentle voice sounded: "Yang Chen, are you okay?" ”

Everyone greeted him like this, and Yang Chen naturally didn't want to pretend to be unconscious anymore, so he slowly turned over and sat up against the wall, and looked at the three people outside the prison door. But I saw that the two people behind me were just martial artists with powerful and fierce faces, but the one standing in front was a man in his fifties who looked elegant and wise.

With just one glance, he already had a judgment on the identities of the three people, and it was obvious that the last two were the guards of the person in front. It's just that the identity of this person is still a little unclear, so he casually asked, "Who are you?" I've been put in a cell for no reason, and how can I be okay? ”

"Bold!" When one of the strong men saw him so rude, he scolded with a sinking face.

But the man on the other side waved his hand: "You guys stand down first, don't make trouble here." ”

"But my lord, this person ......" The two guards glanced at Yang Chen with some hesitation, obviously a little uneasy.

"He's in prison, and after he's seriously injured, can he still hurt his own officer? Let's go down. His tone, though mild, was unmistakable. The two guards also knew his temper, and when they heard this, they had to respond, and then retreated. However, he didn't really get out of the cell, but stayed at the entrance.

"Okay, now it's up to you and me to talk openly and honestly. The old man is the Yang Yiqing you wanted to see before. Yang Chen was stunned when he said this, and said with some doubts: "You are Lord Yang Yiqing of the Trilateral General System?" ”

"Why, does anyone in this Datong City dare to pretend to be me?" Yang Yiqing smiled indifferently and asked rhetorically.

Looking at this person's appearance and the temperament exuded from his body, Yang Chen still believed in his identity: "Xiaguan has seen Lord Yang. As he spoke, his heart was full of doubts.

What kind of medicine is sold in this Yang Yiqing's gourd? If he had accepted the news reported by Biguan County, he should not have appeared here, and he still put on the appearance of wanting to talk deeply with himself, after all, according to them, he was a fugitive felony who had committed a lot of crimes.

And if he had doubts about the words of those people, he should not have imprisoned himself. Now that he is imprisoned, he suddenly comes to see his own behavior, which is really paradoxical and strange.

Yang Yiqing glanced at him a few times, and then laughed: "It seems that you can't understand this decision of this official, right?" ”

"Exactly." Yang Chen didn't plan to go around in any circle, and said directly: "Presumably, the adults have already received the documents from the deviant pass earlier, so they will order me to be taken and sent to prison before I see the lower officials, right?" ”

"You're really a smart person, no wonder you can get into the brocade guard." Yang Yiqing said, and when he flipped his hand, he had already shown the waist card: "You are a spy of the Jinyi Guard faction at the Partial Head Pass?" ”

"Exactly. Because it had to be reported that some Tartars wanted to do something wrong in the area of Bitou Pass, Xia Guan was ordered to go from the capital to Bitou Pass a few months ago to secretly investigate. In front of Yang Yiqing, he didn't need to hide anything.

"I see. I said, how could there suddenly be a brocade guard. Yang Yiqing nodded, and then asked, "Then you found out that someone in the county government took bribes?" ”

"Not only the county government, but also their accomplices in the garrison of Bitouguan." Yang Chen said with a solemn expression: "It's not just bribery, they colluded with Chen Zhigao, the owner of the account book, and embezzled the silver that should have been used to repair the Great Wall into their own pockets, so that there may be hidden dangers in Guancheng." ”

Hearing him say this, Yang Yiqing's face also changed: "That's actually the case." No wonder ......" Immediately, he looked at Yang Chen again: "But just with such an account book and a few words from you, I can make this official believe that what you said is true, and it is not easy to cure the crimes of officials and guards in a city." ”

Yang Chen just wanted to say something, but he heard Yang Yiqing say: "Moreover, do you know that Zhu Xuan, the commander of the Biguan County, is the protégé of this official, and I can still trust him as a person, and he will never put the safety of the border pass at risk for a little silver......
