In troubled times, talent can be regarded as a precious and scarce resource, and there are many opportunities. It is normal for anyone who thinks he has some ability to find a better future for himself. In troubled times, loyalty is most valued by employers, but it is not valued too much by workers who claim to be talents.

Jiang Chengbi and the others should feel extremely fortunate that in the face of the lobbying and temptation of the Prince of Beiyan, they were only shaken and had not yet put it into practice. Otherwise, he must have already returned to his homeland, where is the opportunity to worry about what Yang Zhi will do?

Yang Zhi, Jiang Chengbi and others are all old acquaintances who know each other, there is no need to go around and play the edge, everyone is tired.

Yang Zhi said honestly: "Because it did not lead to serious consequences of internal strife, there is no way to deal with it." But if I don't care about it at all, I'm afraid you yourself will have a hard time believing it. I have only two words for how today's events are concluded. ”

"One is understanding. No matter who is the emperor of Beiyan, I am certainly not interested, and in fact it has nothing to do with you. Compared with returning to the homeland as an official and being reduced to the sea as a bandit, it is clear at a glance which is better and which is inferior. It's understandable that you're excited. You can give us a little bit of thin face, but you haven't done anything yet, and I am deeply grateful to Linglong. Although I have no intention of calling myself a king and an emperor, my vision is by no means limited to a few small islands. To put it mildly, all I lack is time, nothing else. I can understand your desire for a bright future, but I absolutely cannot tolerate anyone taking this little bit of work that my husband and wife have worked hard for as a stepping stone to their careers. The so-called words are not unclear, and understanding is always mutual. ”

"The second is choice. How can people be strong when they have their own aspirations? As the saying goes. Forced can't be a deal, and tying can't be a husband and wife. You can decide whether or not to stay. As long as you don't take your weapons and military resources, including your subordinates. Staying or going is voluntary. If you want to go, I won't stop you. I am still welcome to stay. In order to teach Emperor Yan and the crown prince a lesson, I will order the prince to write a letter and send someone to Yanjing, asking for a certain amount of ransom before he is released. In the meantime, you may wish to think carefully. But I'm talking ugly ahead, this is not an inn and wine store where you can come and go when you want, next time we meet. People may not be so easy to talk to! ”

Jiang Chengbi chewed on the aftertaste for a long time, and asked in disbelief: "Master Hou, what you just said, but is it true?" ”

Just from the subtle change of the previous title from "you" to "you", Yang Zhi knew that the possibility of regeneration and chaos was extremely small. Don't think that if you have hundreds of people under your hands, you will treat yourself too much as a dish. What's more, the three parties have all been mixed up, and it is not easy to get together for a while, let alone everyone will follow you. Otherwise, I would be so generous to let you toss? Are you stupid for me?

Answering such a question seems to be too imbecile. Don't even look at him. Turning around, he shouted, "Withdraw your troops!" Let go! ”

This time, Xiong Zhan and his wife were able to quickly resolve the crisis, and Xiong Zhan and his wife made great contributions, and they couldn't do without a little expression. Under the double pressure of Yang Zhi and his younger brother, Linglong has been suffering from psychological torment for nearly two months. It is necessary to add soothing care.

When she returned to her residence, it was almost noon, and Linglong was still sitting in front of the window, her eyes blank and dazed. It wasn't until Yang Zhi approached that he came back to his senses: "Husband is back?" You didn't close your eyes all night last night. I ordered someone to make a few delicate side dishes for lunch later. Get some better sleep. ”

Prince Beiyan and Jiang Chengbi are brothers-in-law, and the other is a hardcore old department. Is there any reason not to care? Yang Zhi couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw that she never mentioned the two. shook her hands and said softly, "I didn't kill your brother." only taught him a few slaps, and ordered people to settle down and take care of him. But I didn't intend to be too cheap for him, and after asking your father for a ransom, I would let him go. I didn't kill Mr. Jiang and the others, they were willing to leave and stay, and they were willing to do so voluntarily. ”

Linglong couldn't help but shed tears again, choked up and explained: "Thank you for your compassion! In fact, I know the intentions of my younger brother and the recent movements of Mr. Jiang and others. Sister Yingniang and Brother Xiong secretly persuaded me to make up my mind several times, and I ...... I really can't be ruthless, I can't do that! Single-mindedly delusional not to alarm the husband, he took the matter alone. It would be best if it could be quelled without using swords. Husband, am I useless? ”

How strong and decisive was Linglong's previous temperament? is a strange woman in a show of wisdom, but she was tortured by her bastard brother and became a resentful woman! Yang Zhi secretly gritted his teeth, since he had already torn his face, the ransom had to rise hard before he could relieve his hatred!

Gently wiped the tears on her face, and changed the subject: "When did Lao Xiong and Yingniang get married?" Yingniang's belly is so big! I'm going to go to his house in the evening to ask for a glass of wine! ”

Linglong glared at him with disgust and said, "After all, it wasn't you who matched?" After you hurried to Chang'an last year, they got married on the island on the 26th of the lunar month. Presumably, like you, they didn't sleep all night last night. Sister Yingniang is eight or nine months pregnant, and if you and Brother Xiong are drinking and talking nonsense tonight, she is afraid that it will be difficult for her to sleep soundly. If you want to go, go now. ”

Yang Zhi pulled her up without hesitation and said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's go! ”

After this incident, not only the relationship between Yang Zhi and Linglong has become more intimate and harmonious, but the tacit understanding and trust between Xiong Zhan and Yingniang have also increased a lot compared with the past. Drinking in a big bowl and eating meat in large chunks is the nature of a fierce person like Xiong Zhan, since Yingniang became pregnant, he has been in great moderation, but if he wants to quit drinking, it is better to kill him with a knife. Seeing Yang Zhi and his wife coming to the door, he immediately shouted and ordered his subordinates to hurry up and prepare wine and food.

Because it involved Linglong's brother and the old department, Xiong Zhan and his wife were a little evasive between words at first, but later saw that Yang Zhi took the initiative to mention it without hesitation, so they let it go.

Xiong Zhan scolded with a smile: "Yang Zhi, you kid is really not a good thing!" Listen to what you mean, keep your brother-in-law and don't kill it, just to knock your father-in-law hard? ”

Yang Zhi didn't hide it: "I didn't plan to kill him in the first place, not to mention that I promised Linglong to spare his life." It's better to keep it and not kill it than to kill it. It doesn't matter if you kill the sergeants and guards he brought with him, or ask for a ransom. It's all to teach Emperor Yan a lesson and remind them not to mess with me in the future. ”

Yingniang said with a little resentment: "Then what if you keep Mr. Jiang and they don't kill them?" In the end, it's still the face of the delicate girl. I don't think you were so soft-hearted to my subordinates! ”

Linglong smiled bitterly and defended her man: "Sister, didn't you hear it? The sergeants and guards that my brother brought. Almost all of them were killed by him. That's not all, now threatening my brother's life is even my father. ”

There must be more than one Yingniang who has the idea of favoring one over the other. It was Yang Zhi who patiently explained: "This time, that time. At that time, we were friends and foes, as long as we were a little soft, let alone the merger of the three families, it was difficult to say whether even my own life could be saved. This time the infighting did not start, and it was a painful death hand based on suspicion alone. Isn't it chilling? At that time, I am afraid that it will not only be the subordinates from Beiyan who will have the idea. A gentle cleanse is also a cleansing, and at least it is guaranteed not to hurt the vitality. ”

took a sip of wine and said, "Judging from this incident, there are many people who have the idea of having a serious background. Now I have the title of Governor of the Customs of the Third Rank of Great Xia, and the appointment and dismissal of civil and military officials below the fifth rank of the Governor of the Customs Yamen is up to me. The emperor only gave me the title of governor of the bare pole and ordered me to establish an official in Jinling. In the next step, I plan to set up branches in Jinan and Yuhang, and there is an urgent need for employment at the moment. It's better to take this as an opportunity. You husband and wife and Linglong have helped me pick some people. But I'm not a cat or a dog, I need at least a few books and someone with that mind. After this change, people's hearts are inevitably not very stable, and it can be regarded as a reluctant fight with the prince of Beiyan! ”

only need to rely on a shocking martial arts and the reputation of the Northern Han Dynasty warriors in the early years. If Xiong Zhan wants to be a general or an official, where can't he go? Yang Zhi's proposal to pick and choose people was not attractive to him.

Linglong and Yingniang were shocked. Last year, Wei Feiyang was only sixteen years old. Because of his outstanding military exploits, he was awarded the title of Yongyi General and gave him the heavy responsibility of commanding 100,000 troops to defend Jinling. Yang Zhinian was awarded the title of first-class Flying Tiger Marquis before he was weakened. Holding the royal gold medal representing the power of cutting first and then playing, he is now awarded the Governor of Sanpin Customs. Emperor Xia is really magnificent!

After the prince of Beiyan landed on the island, he made official wishes everywhere. It's a bit suspicious of painting cakes in the air. The appointment and dismissal of civil and military officials below the five grades of the customs governor yamen is left to his own discretion, and Emperor Xia's promise weighing more than 1,000 catties is undoubtedly more colorful. Not to mention that the current official is not as good as the current management, just like the president of a small country in his previous life and the mayor of my Chinese Celestial Empire, can it be compared?

Yang Zhi saw that Xiong Zhan didn't think so, Yingniang and Linglong looked at each other, thinking that they didn't take their proposal seriously, and said with a sneer: "I also know that the three families have merged not long ago, and everything has just been straightened out, and there may not be too many capable people for a while." If it weren't for Prince Beiyan suddenly singing such a play to me, I really didn't plan to transfer people here. I just think that the people selected in the old foundation will definitely be more comfortable and easy to use. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, that's what I said, you don't have to force it. There are more people who want to find a serious background, and for me, it is nothing more than taking more time, and it is not difficult to go anywhere. ”

I didn't want Yingniang to have a big belly, so she got up and shook Yang Zhi solemnly: "Master Hou, I won't tell you, you used to say that you could let the brothers wash their bottom and go ashore, but I still doubt it." But now you've done it! I am a woman who married into a family of bandits for generations, and if the previous merger was somewhat forced, now I would like to thank you on behalf of the thousands of brothers under my late husband! If nothing else, I gave us a hope and a thought for you! ”

Linglong hurriedly helped her sit down with Yang Zhi, Yingniang glanced at Xiong Zhan, and said angrily: "Old Xiong, you don't want to say it, I'll tell you!" Today, in front of Yang Zhi and Linglong and his wife, I want to make it clear. You like to be free, and my mother is your mother-in-law, and she will accompany you in life and death. ”

touched his stomach and said resolutely: "Even if our husband and wife have been pirates for a lifetime, my mother will admit it, but my child can't do it!" Regardless of gender, Yang Zhi agreed to be this father-in-law. Everything else is up to you, and I have to do it! - Yang Zhi, I don't care, you have to at least leave a position for my child as a fifth-grade official! ”

Xiong Zhan's face was full of embarrassment, and Yang Zhi said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I can completely understand your feelings, but isn't your child born yet?" …… Is your appointment a little longer? (To be continued......)
