Chapter 126: Behind the Calm
In the next few days, the most talked about in the small county town of Zhuji was the trial of the Yang County Order and the story of the Yang County Order Fighting and the History of the Xuandian Dynasty. www.biquge.info For a while, in the streets and alleys, in the tea shops and hotels, people were telling these stories everywhere.
And the story has been interpreted multiple times, and it is very different from the truth. Some people say that under the compelling momentum of Yang County's order, Xuandian Shi was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, and even his head was broken. Some people say that the murderer fainted in fright after being told the modus operandi by Yang County. Some people also talked about how the Yang County Order reconciled the two Cai and Chen families, who had grievances, and said that the people of the two families were teary-eyed and convinced.
Some people even said how outstanding Yang County Ling was and how personable he was. Even how he studied hard from his hometown and finally passed the Jinshi examination was created by the people with rich imagination. It was as if they lived next door to Yang Chen's house and had been watching him grow up.
And as a result, many daughters who are still waiting to be in the boudoir have an inexplicable good impression of this young and promising new county magistrate, and for a while Yang Chen has become the wishful husband in the hearts of many big girls and daughters-in-law, in words hundreds of years later, Yang Chen has been the male god in Zhuji County during this time.
Different from the ordinary people in the market who just watch the excitement, some people who have some knowledge of the yamen and the situation in Zhuji have sweated against Yang Chen, the new county order. They know very well that behind Xuanchuang there is a powerful Xuan family, which can make the land of Zhuji County tremble three times with a stomp of their feet. Now that Yang Chen has brought down the people whose family is in the county office, they will definitely not endure this breath, but they are afraid that it will not be long before another bigger storm will happen. Perhaps the next person to be thrown into prison is Yang Xianling himself, who is now infinitely beautiful.
But things have taken these people who think they see the situation very clearly. After two days, the Xuan family did not move at all. Not to mention putting pressure on the county government as they thought, or by taking the upper route, let the Shaoxing Mansion clean up the Yang County Order, they didn't even make a statement, or think of rescuing Xuanchuang, who was imprisoned.
This is really surprising. Only some people who refuse to admit their miscalculations continue to insist, thinking that this is just the calm before the storm, and the Xuan family must be brewing a bigger conspiracy, and maybe it won't be long before Zhuji County will be replaced by a new county order.
But this is not the case. The Xuan family didn't make any moves, not because they were brewing any big moves, and it wasn't that they were willing to suffer this humiliation, but because they didn't dare to attack.
On the night after the turmoil in the county government subsided, Yang Zhen came alone in front of the Xuan family's extraordinary, more extensive than the county government, and carved beams and paintings.
When he revealed his name and identity, the people of the Xuan family were immediately full of hostility towards him, and some even secretly picked up the wooden stick leaning against the door, and only waited for the master to give an order, and beat this one of the initiators into a pig's head.
But Xuan Weixin, the head of the Xuan family, is not a frizzy person after all, and he knows that Yang Zhen must rely on him if he dares to come alone. He was even worried that this was a bitter trick used by Yang Chen, once his brother was injured by the Xuan family, he, the county commander, would be more able to deal with the Xuan family more justifiably.
So after careful consideration, he still decided to meet Yang Zhen to see what he could say.
In the beautifully decorated front hall of the Xuan family's mansion, Yang Zhen finally met one of the masters of the two great families called by the people of Zhuji, Xuan Bancheng and Xuan Weixin. This is a man in his fifties, with a good demeanor, especially a pair of eyes, which shine with perseverance and wisdom, which is unforgettable at first sight.
After Xuan Weixin invited Yang Zhen to sit down and ordered someone to serve him a cup of tea, he asked in a not so friendly tone: "I don't know why Yang Chaye came to my Xuan family?" But does it have anything to do with my unruly nephew? ”
Yang Zhen saw that he was straight to the point, so he didn't say any polite words, and said: "The purpose of coming here can be said to be or not. ”
"Huh? What does this mean? ”
"That depends on the attitude of the propagandists. If you want to stand out for Xuan, then it has something to do with him here. Otherwise, it's irrelevant. Yang Zhen was also polite, and his words were threatening.
"Ha, that's funny. In the past ten years, almost no one dared to say such interesting things to the old man. Although it was interesting, Xuan Weixin's expression was not interesting at all.
It seems that the propagandist does not understand what he is saying. Then I will make it clearer, if you have no intention of coming out, then I am here to ask you for a favor; Otherwise, let's talk about Xuanchuang first. ”
"Oh? But what do you want me to help with? Do you dare to guarantee that my Xuan family will agree to help? A trace of doubt flashed in Xuan Weixin's slightly narrowed eyes. From the moment he entered the door, he found that Yang Zhen always looked fearless, could it be that he really had something else to rely on, and just a county order could not be put in the eyes of his Xuan family.
"Doing things for the court is the obligation of every Ming citizen. Since Xuanyuan is also within my Ming territory, I don't think you will refuse, right? One of the purposes of my visit is to use the power of your Xuan family in Zhuji County to help me find the traces of the White Lotus Sect's rebels. Yang Zhen said his intention with a determined face.
"What obligation is not obligation, I Xuan family ......" Xuan Weixin casually wanted to refuse Yang Zhen's request, but after understanding what he was talking about, he was stunned, and then said in surprise: "You...... What did you say? White Lotus Sect? ”
Although Xuan Weixin has always been in Zhuji County and rarely goes out, it does not mean that he is blind, naturally he knows that this cult has always been severely cracked down by the imperial court, but it has always been ghostly. Unexpectedly, today, the brother of the county commander actually came to discuss this matter with him, which made Xuan Weixin a little stunned and confused.
This is what Yang Zhen wants, so that when he reveals his other identity, he can produce enough deterrence to make Xuan Weixin dare not be an enemy of his brother again.
I saw Yang Zhen nodding solemnly, and then touched his waist, took out Jinyiwei's waist card and pushed it in front of Xuan Weixin: "It's not a secret, it's a hundred households tried by Jinyiwei in Zhejiang." This time I came to Zhuji, I was ordered to come to investigate the matter of the White Lotus Sect. ”
"Ah......" Xuan Weixin was stunned again. It took a while to come back to his senses, and he picked up the waist card with a somewhat trembling hand and looked at it carefully for a while, then he remembered that he had never seen the waist card of Jinyiwei, and it was in vain to see it.
Although he had never seen Jinyiwei and their waist cards, it was impossible for him not to know about this institution that made people all over the world fearful. If the White Lotus Church surprised him, the Jinyi Guard could make him afraid. No matter who it is, once they offend Jinyiwei or are targeted by them, I am afraid that there will only be one end left - the end.
He declared that Weixin had a great cause and great power in Zhuji, so he could not take the county order in his eyes, but he did not dare to be disrespectful to Jinyiwei. After being stunned for a while, he respectfully handed back the waist card: "It turns out that the adult is a brocade guard, and please forgive me for the crime of being rude." In the blink of an eye, the title and self-claim have changed greatly, and he believes that no one in the world has eaten the bear's heart and the leopard dares to pretend to be a brocade guard, so this attitude has naturally changed.
"It doesn't matter." As soon as Yang Zhen saw him like this, he knew that the matter was half done.
"If you don't understand a little bit below, please let me know. Are you pretending to be a county brother for the sake of investigating the case, or is this the truth? Xuan Weixin asked cautiously.
"My name is Yang Zhen, and I am indeed the brother of the current Zhuji County Order. In order to investigate the White Lotus Sect, he came to Zhuji to borrow himself from the county government. Is this answer still satisfactory to the propagandist? ”
"Oh, the villain understands. It's just that I've been in Zhuji for decades, but I haven't heard of the White Lotus Sect bandits, are you mistaken? Xuan Weixin said with some doubts.
"Do you know about the silver theft case that happened in Hangzhou a few days ago?"
"I've heard of this."
"This case has a lot to do with the White Lotus Sect bandits. It was with this as a clue that I found out that they were in Zhuji. Yang Zhen didn't hide it, and said the matter briefly.
"I see." This time, Xuan Weixin had no more doubts, and immediately patted his chest and said: "As the adult just said, dealing with the White Lotus Sect is the obligation of my Ming people, since the adult has commanded, the villain will definitely do his best to help." But I don't know what the adults want me to do. ”
"Let the people who can move watch more in the countryside to see if there are any suspicious people moving around the country. I guess it's hard to be outside the propagandists, right? ”
"This is natural. I'll be in two days, no, I'll call someone to arrange it tomorrow. Xuan Weixin hurriedly agreed. At the same time, I was relieved that fortunately things were not difficult to do.
"So thank you for the announcement." Yang Zhen smiled with satisfaction, and then seemed to remember something: "Then about Xuanchuang......"
"That's his own fault, the villain thinks that the adults and the county lords have handled it properly, and they have to teach him some lessons." Xuan Weixin hurriedly replied. He knew very well that once he wanted to entangle this matter again, he was afraid that Yang Zhen would put a charge of colluding with the White Lotus Sect on his head. At that time, the Xuan family will have a big business, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the end of the family.
Seeing this, Yang Zhen's smile on his face became even bigger: "It's really admirable that the propagandists can think like this." Now that everything is said and done, I will take my leave. As he spoke, he wanted to leave.
"Lord Yang, please slow down." Xuan Weixin smiled and said, while giving a look to the people who were waiting outside. The henchman understood and quickly walked over with a plate of silver ingots.
"My lord caught the thief in my Zhuji County, and my Xuan family is also very grateful, and I ask my lord to accept this little heart."
Yang Zhen smiled faintly, and without refusing, he accepted the silver. In this way, at least in the short term, the Xuan family will no longer be an enemy of his brother Yang Chen.
This is the killer weapon that Yang Zhen used to stabilize the Xuan family after making this turmoil, and it is also his last reliance, and now it seems that the effect is quite good. As for whether this will leak the news or even affect the investigation of the case, he doesn't care about it, after all, the Xuan family also knows the importance of what to say and what not to say.
"I think in the next period of time, Zhuji County should be able to be more peaceful. I'm going to be able to get through it easily. Yang Zhen thought so after walking out of the door of the Xuan family.
But can it really be his way?
