"Hmm......" Tang Feng was surprised when he heard this. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info this time they clearly cheated Liu Shouyou, he didn't find an excuse to punish them, it was already considered a favor, how could he ask the Son of Heaven for his life to be promoted to his own official? There's got to be something wrong with that.

But before he was ordered, he didn't dare not accept it, so he had to kneel down on his knees, and while saying the words of thanks, he accepted the letter of appointment. Opening the letter of appointment and taking a closer look, Tang Feng's face changed, and he finally knew which hand the other party was playing this time.

At the same time, Wang Kui also spoke: "However, Huguang already has personnel arrangements here, so the governor means to transfer you to another place as this deputy thousand households." It just so happens that Jinyiwei Zhejiang Thousand Households is lacking a deputy thousand households, so you can bring a few people over. "It's a clever trick to ascend and descend secretly, thinking that Tang Feng has taken root in Huguang and is not easy to deal with, so he transferred him to another place to settle down, so that he can slowly figure it out. And if he only let him bring a few people over, it will be even more difficult to gain a foothold in a new place where he is unfamiliar with life, even if he has the position of deputy thousand households, isn't there a thousand households above who can manage him?

Although he had already guessed the intention of the other party to make this hand, but the official level crushed people to death, and there was also a holy will, how could Tang Feng say no? He had to bow again with a dark face: "Subordinates obey!" ”

"Very well, you get up. In the future, you must work hard in Zhejiang, and don't let down the governor's heart for you. Oh, and Yang Zhen, you have also made some contributions in this matter, and even the governor knows about you. So this time, I also ordered you to go to Zhejiang with Tang Feng, and you are no longer the captain of the Jinyi Guard, but Xiaoqi. ”

In the Jinyi Guard, the captain is the lowest soldier, and Xiaoqi is already a military attache with a certain status, from the seventh grade. Generally speaking, it takes many years for a captain to be promoted to Xiaoqi, but Yang Zhen actually has such a position just after entering Jinyiwei, which is really quite rare. Even if he has a year's Jinyi Wei qualifications as written in the file, it is still rare to have this promotion.

Yang Zhen smiled bitterly in his heart, not only was Jinyiwei decided, but he couldn't go to Beijing with his brother anymore. But from his heart, this may be the result he really wants to see, taking this opportunity to break into a bigger world.

After being stunned for a moment, Yang Zhen also landed on one knee and learned Tang Feng's response: "Subordinates obey orders." ”

Wang Kui showed a smile on his face, very satisfied with the current situation. Bring Zhai Qu back to the capital and transfer Tang Feng and others to Zhejiang, so that Jinyiwei, who caused the great turmoil in Huguang's officialdom this time, has no backbone at all, and it is naturally not difficult to control it. And this, naturally, is because of the command of Jinyiwei, which benefited Liu Shouyou.

Even though Feng Bao had reminded Liu Shouyou to be patient for the time being, Governor Liu still couldn't bear to be calculated by his subordinates, so he thought of such a trick, which was at least plausible on the surface. And in his plan, Tang Feng and the others will be put in Zhejiang for a period of time, and after this incident is gradually forgotten, he can find a reason to eradicate them, so that they can be silent.

"Alright, you guys go back and get ready. The Governor meant to let you rush to Zhejiang as soon as possible, I heard that there have been traces of the White Lotus Sect there recently, and you can make a difference. ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired." Even if he was unwilling in his heart, Tang Feng had no choice but to bow his head and accept his orders, he knew that there would be a greater test waiting for him ahead.

Two days later, the Yangtze River Hankou wharf.

In previous years, at this time, because the end of the year was approaching, the dock was already deserted. But this year, because it is the year of the big competition, even at this time, there are still many people who have to take a boat to Beijing. It's just that today, there are more people on this dock, and the arrival of dozens of men armed with knives has made the family and friends who came to send Juzi north a little uneasy, and they avoided them from afar.

These men in strong suits are the people of Jinyiwei, and they are here to send Tang Feng, Yang Zhen and other more than a dozen colleagues and brothers, who will leave Wuchang today and go to Hangzhou, Zhejiang by boat.

Leaving at the same time as them was Yang Chen, who was going north to take the exam, and the two brothers were making their final goodbyes at the corner of the dock.

"Big brother, you have this package, there are some silver tickets in it, which is enough for your expenses in the capital." Yang Zhen handed a small burden to Yang Chen's hand and said.

Yang Chen looked at the appearance of the burden and said, "This is the package you asked me to keep that day." There are thousands of taels of silver in it. I forgot to ask you that day, where did this come from? "Apparently he'd checked the contents of the package before.

Yang Zhen smiled: "It's the interest paid by those who owe us." Big brother, just take it. ”

After muttering for a while, Yang Chen still took the package, Yang Zhen was overjoyed when he saw this, and he was worried that his eldest brother would refuse to accept these silver tickets because of the improper way of coming.

"Big brother, since you have taken this package of silver tickets, don't treat yourself badly in the capital."

"I naturally know that 30% of the exam is about the body, and I won't ignore this. It's Erlang, you, you must be careful when you go to Zhejiang. In the past, your temper was too impatient, and although it has improved in recent years, it is not stable enough after all. Even if you are a Jinyiwei, you should have scruples in your actions, you must be kind to others, and ......" For this brother, Yang Chen still couldn't let go of his heart, and he kept chattering and persuading at this time.

Somehow, Yang Zhen, who used to only think that his brother was talking like this, was very mother-in-law, but this time he was indescribably moved in his heart, and he only hoped that his brother could say more.

But when the words are always finished, when all the words that should be instructed have been said, seeing that his brother is still nodding his head there frequently, Yang Chen's eyes can't help but turn a little red: "Erlang, I must take the Jinshi exam when I go to the capital, so that I can help you get out of Jinyiwei!" ”

Even though he knew that the second half of his brother's words could not come true, Yang Zhen still nodded and said, "I believe in the ability of the eldest brother!" ”

On the other side, Tang Feng also said his final goodbye to those brothers. Only ten people went to Zhejiang with him, including Wei Changdong, Deng Ting, and Ma Feng, and the others had to stay here and wait for Shangfeng to send new thousand and hundred households down.

Until this time, Tang Feng's face was still gloomy. After he said a few words to a few brothers, he turned to his cronies Qian Sizhong on the other side: "Sizhong, you are steady, I have entrusted Lord Qianhu to you, you must take good care of him." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will do my best to take care of Lord Qianhu. If anyone wants to harm a thousand households, I will first take his life! Qian Sizhong said again.

Tang Feng nodded and didn't say anything more. He went up to the brothers who had come to see him aboard, patted them on the shoulders one by one, and gave them a final command, telling them to be diligent in their work henceforth, and not to let anyone catch the wrong trick. He knew that as soon as he left, the brothers would become leaderless and likely to be bullied by their new boss.

Everyone is the only one who is.

At this time, the shouts of the captain beckoning the guests to board the ship were heard on the passenger ship ahead. Although they are Jinyiwei, they did not take the official ship to Zhejiang, after all, they and the government belong to two systems, and this incident has greatly offended the Huguang officials, how can anyone prepare an official ship for them?

But fortunately, there are many people who go to the north at this time, but there are very few guests in the south, except for the twelve of them, there are only a few merchants. This passenger ship is a two-story structure, and the space is not small, but it is not much worse than the official ship.

"Let's go!" Tang Feng said hello and led the people to the dock of the southbound passenger ship. Over there, Yang Zhen also officially said goodbye to his brother, and hurriedly stepped on the wooden gangplank with him and headed for the boat.

But before they could get on the boat, a fast horse suddenly galloped in the distance, and the man on the horse saw from a distance that they were about to board the boat, and hurriedly shouted: "Hundred households, go slowly!" But the speed did not stop for a moment, and the others on the dock dodged one after another, shouting and shouting.

Tang Feng saw that the person who came was his brother in Jinyiwei, and as soon as his footsteps stopped, he turned around and jumped back to the shore. At this time, the man had already stopped the horse, turned over and rolled off, and hurriedly grabbed Tang Feng's side.

Looking at his sweaty face, Tang Feng felt a pang in his heart: "What's the emergency?" ”

"Lord Baihu, just now we caught one of Hu Lin's former guards......" Because he was in a hurry, the person who came was short of breath, and he was a little out of breath after only half a sentence.

When Tang Feng heard this, his brows furrowed. After Hu Lin was taken down, his close-quarters guards became the key targets of Jinyiwei's arrest. Who told them to kill the people of Jinyiwei, now that they have no backers, Jinyiwei will naturally not let them go.

But these people seem to have been prepared, and they have already fled before the Jinyi Guard went to their residence to arrest people. For this reason, Tang Feng also sent a small number of people to search inside and outside the city, but until he was about to leave, there was no clue, and he didn't expect to come out like this when he boarded the ship.

"You speak slowly, don't rush." Pressing the man's arm, Tang Feng comforted.

The visitor took a few big breaths before continuing: "Under our questioning, he said that their leader Huang Zhaoxu and others have fled Wuchang. But they also left a few people to keep an eye on the movements of Baihu, saying that they wanted to avenge Hu Lin. I'm afraid they already know that Baihu will go to Hangzhou by boat. ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Tang Feng had a sneer on his face: "I know, you go back." ”

"Your Excellency...... Let's go back another day. Qian Sizhong suggested on the side.

"If I am too scared to leave by such a trivial matter, what kind of face do I Tang Feng have to go to Zhejiang. I'll just wait for them to come to the door! Tang Feng was completely unmoved, stood up and turned back to the boat.

After such a delay, the ship heading north also began to load passengers, so that the two passenger ships heading north and south left the Hankow wharf almost at the same time.

On the two boats, the Yang brothers faced each other from afar, and the distance between the two became farther and farther, one to the north and the other to the south, slowly moving towards their different goals and futures.
