Yang Heng still lowered his head and hummed; This is the most uncertain place for Yang Heng, Yang Lei invited himself to be a guest, how could he let Tiankang and a few other children go out, it seems that he is deliberately avoiding. Yang Chong said bitterly: "Yesterday, in Yumen Pass, Huang Zhen saw those children, and Tiankang and they are still guests in Yumen. ”

Yang Heng's heart trembled, as the first person to follow Yang Chong, Yang Heng knew Yang Chong's attitude towards his subordinates, it didn't matter if his ability was almost there, it didn't matter if the treatment requirements were higher, what Yang Chong hated the most was a mole. Tianjian said lightly: "Yang Heng, tell everything you saw in Shandan, don't leave any details behind, including the doubts in your heart when you were in Shandan." ”

Tianjian knew the news an hour earlier than Yang Heng, Yang Lei quietly let his children out of Yumen Pass is very suspicious, Yang Chong and his wife are in Zhangye, Yang Heng and Yang Long are in Jiuquan, Yang Yanda's ten brothers are not close to Yang Lei, not to mention the people in Louguandao. It can be said that west of Yumen, there is no other person worthy of Yang Lei's son to visit. However, as Yang Heng's boss, Tianjian still hopes that Yang Heng will not be involved.

Yang Heng started from Yang Lei wrote a letter to invite him, and continued to talk until he came back from being a guest, Tianjian carefully asked about the content of the letter and some details that Yang Heng saw in Shandan, as well as the content of the conversation between the two; When it came to the furnishings in Yang Lei's house, Yang Heng suddenly understood why he had been nervous since he came back, because he saw the Wei family's money box in Yang Lei's house. It may be that Yang Lei was brought out from the Wei family and has been kept until now, but it may also be that he received it recently.

Yang Heng said the size of the money box, and Fan Wuxiang smiled: "Ten taels of gold." ”

Ten taels of gold, one hundred and sixty yuan, equivalent to Yang Lei's three years of money; Yang Lei actually got a little more in the Yang Mansion, as the steward of the house, Yang Chong and his wife basically had double copies when they gave rewards, and even the children had a copy during the New Year's holidays. Yang Chong shook his head and said: "It can't be ten taels of gold, this can't impress Yang Lei, if the Wei family wants to buy a horse, they don't need to find Yang Lei." ”

Wei Jie is the deputy head of the governor's office, and Wei Yuan's care and the end of the county also produce horses, what kind of horses does the Wei family want, and say hello to Yang Chong, maybe you don't need to spend money. The eyes of Yang Chong and the others turned to Yang Heng and asked, "Did Yang Lei ask about Tianlei?" ”

Yang Heng said affirmatively: "No, I just casually asked about the situation of the head of the family." ”

When he came, Fan Wuxiang immediately concluded: "The Wei family participated in the plan to assassinate Chief Yang. ”

Yang Heng was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and Yang Chong shouted: "Get up, at most it's Yang Lei, and it's not you, what are you afraid of." Tie Di informed Zhangye County and brought Wei Lei and his wife to Jiuquan. ”

Yang Heng's legs were still a little weak, Tianjian dragged Yang Heng up with one hand, Zhang Guolao stood up and said, "I came from Zhangye early in the morning, I'm a little hungry, let's eat." Yang Chongjin walked around the gunpowder workshop and instructed Yang Yanwu a few words before leaving.

The specific person in charge of the gunpowder workshop was Yang Yanwu, and the forty craftsmen and one hundred soldiers under his command were all Yang Chong's domestic slaves, and the people selected from the Shannan Villa and the Gaochang Shan Xiongxin camp had no problem with their loyalty, and they were never allowed to leave the workshop. The three bookkeepers were all orphans adopted by Yang Chong, and when they came out of Shannan Private School, they were sent to the gunpowder shop, which was as simple as a blank sheet of paper, so they could only be targeted by people who could enter and leave the gunpowder shop freely.

Yang Chong had completely calmed down when he was eating, and said to Yang Heng: "Yang Heng, Yang Lei has arrived, you talk to him first and tell him that for Tiankang's sake, as long as he tells the truth about things, I will spare his life." ”

Yang Heng was a little dazed and asked again: "The head of the family, you don't kill him?" ”

Yang Chong glared at Yang Heng and said, "He has left the Yang Mansion and is a pure official, according to the laws of the imperial court." ”

Fan Wuxiang shook his head, Yang Chong's heart was not hard enough, and he still couldn't do anything to the people around him; Zhang Guolao seemed to be really hungry, and when he saw that he was starting to serve the food, he just concentrated on eating, drinking two sips of wine from time to time, and was leisurely. Tie Di, Su Dingfang, and Tianjian could only be silent, Yang Chong and Yang Heng all lost interest in talking, and they hurriedly finished their meals in silence, which can be regarded as speechless.

When Yang Lei saw Yang Chong, his face was gray, and he knelt on the ground and couldn't say a word; Yang Hengyu said: "The head of the family, Yang Lei said that it was Wei Mazi, a warrior of the Wei family, who came with Wei Fuzi's letter, and asked Yang Lei to inquire about your whereabouts." Wei Mazi was ruthless and vicious, strong in martial arts, and threatened the lives of Yang Lei's children, Yang Lei had no choice but to agree and accept ten taels of gold. ”

Yang Chong asked Yang Lei: "After you get my news, how do you inform Wei Mazi?" ”

Yang Lei said in a low voice: "I will leave a mark on a wall on the street of Shandan, and Wei Mazi will come to the door." ”

Yang Chong asked, "Did you tell Luo Shixin when you were arrested?" ”

"Nope." Yang Lei was flustered, the interrogation room was as silent as death, Yang Chong's question was very sharp, Yang Lei was caught by Luo Shixin, if he said Wei Mazi immediately, it means that Yang Lei was just coerced, and it is understandable; However, Yang Lei dragged him into Jiuquan City, and Yang Heng came forward instead of Yang Chong to speak, at least showing that Yang Lei had thoughts, perhaps because he knew that Yang Chong would not kill him, so he planned to tell the truth.

Yang Chong finally opened his mouth to ask, and his tone was calm as usual: "I said that if I don't kill you, I will spare your life, can you tell me why you were bought, and don't say anything about being forced to be helpless." ”

Yang Chong didn't realize that his curiosity showed that he Yang Chong was also a human being, and he also needed others to tell him the answer, but the feeling to Zhang Guolao and others was gratifying. Yang Lei raised his head, his face became hideous, and he said with resentment: "Yang Da, they are just slaves bought later, and you are giving names and entrusting important responsibilities to officials. I used to be the steward in your house, and I saddled the horse and the horse for you, but what did you do to me, I was an official or a horse supervisor with no real power, and I didn't even receive the army. ”

Yang Hengqi said: "Yang Lei, this is for your good, you are all in your forties, and the head of the family wants you to be safe." ”

Yang Lei laughed miserably and said: "Yang Heng, you will also teach me a lesson now, I still remember that when the Wei family first arrived at the Yang Mansion, you were a big brother, and you came to me for advice on anything, and I had to come out if I didn't dare to say anything to Yang Chong." ”

Yang Heng was not good at speaking, and he didn't know what to say when he was angry, Yang Chong still didn't get angry, and said with his head bowed: "Wei Mazi didn't move you this time, you are no longer in Zhangye and Yang's family, it is impossible to grasp my whereabouts, Wei Mazi wants you to find someone who may know my whereabouts, so you invite Yang Heng to dinner." You were afraid that the matter would be leaked, so you sent Tiankang and them out to avoid it; When you were bought, it should have been the time when the other courtyard was attacked, and you wanted an official position in order to enter the governor's mansion. ”

Yang Lei was stunned, and suddenly burst into tears, crying and scolding: "Yang Chong, you have been doubting me for a long time, and you are still playing with me, pretending not to care about anything, and not knowing anything." ”
