Chapter 286: Crisis lurks

If he could admit it in front of everyone, Yang Zhi would never be forced to meet separately. Everyone present was either familiar with his temperament like the Qin brothers, or their identities and status were so different that they didn't dare to speak.

Among the people present, only Penglai County made Wang Yuxin feel the most distressed.

Penglai County Order is recognized as a fat shortage in Shandong officialdom, and it is also a place where all forces are intertwined. Wealthy businessmen with different backgrounds, foreign merchants and merchants, and powerful ...... in places where they are fighting openly and secretly, none of them are easy to mess with. If it weren't for the strength of the current emperor, the forces of all parties would be quite jealous of this position, and it would not be Wang's turn. Even so, the person who can be in charge of this position is either a perverted strongman like Yang Zhi, or a new officialdom who doesn't know whether to live or die, or a grandmaster level and a master of thin mud with a slight background.

Wang Yuxin clearly falls into the latter category. At the end of last year, Mr. Jing Yi persuaded and reminded him to think about it repeatedly before he decided to join Yang Zhi's disciples. I didn't want to have time to show my loyalty, but the main owner rushed to Chang'an inexplicably. After a few months, there was no news of Yang Zhiqi, and then the news of the prince's usurpation came, and the forces behind Mr. Yi were really placed on the sea, where to go? In the past six months, Wang Yuxin has lived like a year. I heard that Yang Zhi was appointed as the governor of customs, which can be regarded as clearing the clouds and seeing the blue sky!

For more than half a year, Wang Yuxin has been familiar with Mr. Yi, otherwise there would be no way to know that Yang Zhi would come to Penglai in the next few days. Originally, I just wanted to show my face and make soy sauce and get the impression of "I am your person". Unexpectedly, Yang Zhi's first person to meet was him.

The flattered Wang Yuxin didn't know that Yang Zhi wanted to send him away as soon as possible just because he didn't like him: "Lord Wang." During the time I left Penglai, you did a good job. Ben Governor wrote it down. Keep up the good work! ”

The second is Bai Xinglang: "Boss Bai, I will go to your mansion tomorrow." Protect the media for Brother Jiaoyang. If you can give me this thin noodles, please go back and prepare a dowry for your precious daughter! ”

The third is the pair of Qin Jiaoyang and Bai Ranbing: "Hehe! Congratulations! Congratulations to the two lovers who have finally become married! Brother Jiaoyang, I must be looking forward to seeing through my eyes, right? On weekdays, your father and brother are very concerned about you, and this time your eldest brother came to preside over the marriage for you, which is also a matter of Qin Gong's heart. White girl, I have just informed Ling Zun that I will visit your mansion tomorrow to protect the media for Brother Jiaoyang. How to handle the marriage, you two will go to your eldest brother and calculate it later. ”

Qin Jiaoyang only needs to be with Bai Ranbing. All I know is a shy smirk. But Bai Ranbing was not embarrassed: "Little girl, thank you for your concern!" Wouldn't it be a joke if you were to manage the marriage yourself? The little girl is all up to her father, uncle and Hou Ye. ”

The last one is Mr. Yi. Yang Zhi asked straight to the point: "What is the situation on Dangji Island?" What happened to Linglong suddenly sending Zeng Liu to Jinan? ”

Mr. Yi replied with a worried face: "Don't worry, Master Hou, Mrs. is safe and sound, and everything is as usual on Dangji Island for the time being." But if Hou Ye comes a little later, I'm afraid it will be difficult to say. ”

Yang Zhi frowned and said, "Isn't it that Linglong can't suppress Yingniang and Xiong Zhan?" Or is it because of the Koreans or the Japanese people? Let's be careful! ”

Mr. Yi shook his head and said, "Neither." Mrs. is fair, rewards and punishments are clear, her prestige is growing, and she is respectful from top to bottom. The Koreans and the Japanese occasionally attacked, and they would be dealt with head-on. No worries. The reason why the current crisis is lurking is actually ...... In fact, it was caused by his wife's family affairs. ”

Yang Zhi's eyes suddenly turned cold: "You mean Jiang Chengbi?" ”

Mr. Yi said with a complicated expression: "No, but it can be regarded as one." I was ordered by the marquis to be stationed in Penglai, if the shore and the islands in the open sea are safe. It has become a custom to communicate with his wife every ten days. On the second day of the first month of last month, Zeng Liu landed on the shore and went to the county government to look for me. I knew that he was the personal guard of the wife of the Hou Ye himself, so I was quite surprised. Just ask. The lady received a letter on June 26 and sent him to the Jinlilai branch of Jinan Prefecture to serve as a guard on the first day of July. I stayed in Penglai for one night. Immediately Mrs. Pigeon Book inquired. I didn't want Mrs. to reply early the next morning, and her tone was very stern and decisive. Zeng Liu didn't dare to disobey, so he had to set off for Jinan. At that time, I also thought that there were more than 1,000 old Beiyan troops around my wife, and there was one less Zeng Liu, so I should still be able to ensure the safety of my wife, so I didn't care too much. ”

"On the 19th of last month, two large ships suddenly came from the waters of Beiyan, carrying 60 guards and 200 sailors led by the prince of Beiyan, and landed on Dangji Island. Madame, as is customary, did not mention this matter in her correspondence with me. It wasn't until the 22nd of last month that my brother on the island landed on an errand and told me about it, and I didn't know that I felt bad when I landed. ”

Yang Zhi said coldly: "It's just two big ships, only two hundred and sixty people!" Lao Tzu spent so much effort and so much money to buy big ships, install heavy crossbow artillery, and train sergeants, is it for the sake of appearance? What does Xiong Zhan eat? ”

Mr. Yi smiled bitterly: "Master Hou has really wronged Xiong Zhan." If it weren't for Xiong Zhan's formation and the two big ships of Beiyan and the two hundred sailors, it would be difficult to predict what would have happened! ”

"Master Hou, don't forget that the current Prince of Beiyan is the younger brother of Madame. I had written to inform me in advance, and the letter received by Madame on June 26 must have been the same. It is said that when he met the sentry clipper at sea, he was also treated politely, and then he claimed that he only came to visit his sister, so how could he start a war with him? How can you not let you land on the island? ”

Now that I think about it, when my wife received the letter, she knew that the person who came was not good. Neither did I want to mention it, but I also had a long heart, and when I heard the news, I immediately contacted the three old brothers Chang San, Wen Si, and Chen Wu who stayed at sea, and there must be a daily exchange of pigeon books. Madame may have noticed it, and only said that the Hou Ye may leave Beijing at any time to take up his post, and ordered me not to leave Penglai without permission and wait with peace of mind. ”

"After the prince of Beiyan led his troops to land on the island, it seems that he intends to stay for a long time and not leave. On the grounds of the limited number of houses on the island, a military camp was set up on the beach. Since then, he has been wandering around the island every day, feasting the leaders of various departments every day, especially the old Beiyan department brought by his wife, and the contacts have become closer and closer. His identity as the prince of Beiyan is tantamount to a gold-lettered signboard. Whenever the wine is drunk, it will be sealed and made a wish, and many people are already excited! Ying Niang and Xiong Zhan saw it in their eyes, and they were anxious in their hearts, and they persuaded Mrs. many times behind their backs. Madame was also well aware of this, but still hesitated. Ying Niang and Xiong Zhan were helpless, and gradually became depressed. If it weren't for the awe of Hou Yehu's might, I was afraid that I would have already felt it. ”

The impression left by the prince of Beiyan on Yang Zhi was too profound. The scene of going to Dingbei Wangfu for a banquet is still vivid. At this time, he remembered to kiss, did he ever care about the slightest bit of sister and brother at that time?

For the crown prince of Northern Yan, controlling the sea channels off Shandong and controlling an invincible naval division was not only to gain a lot of money, but also to leave a way out when Great Xia launched a war of annihilation against Northern Yan. The prince of Great Xia tried to usurp in vain, and Yang Zhi lacked skills and had no time to take care of him, so he made a decisive move at this time, which can be called a godsend!

Seriously speaking, it is still stained with the light of poor traffic and communication in this era. From Chang'an in Great Xia to Yanjing in Northern Yan, but there is an important message, and the transmission process is quite long compared to the previous life. After receiving the message, you have to weigh the pros and cons to make a decision, you have to organize people, and you have to be careful to test Linglong's attitude...... and it is not slow to make a move in late June.

The combination of blunt knife cutting and sugar-coated cannonballs is sometimes more effective than a vigorous and brazen battle. If the prince of Beiyan succeeds, all the painstaking planning before will come to naught! After all, Linglong is still too soft-hearted, and she has a little bit of a little woman's mind, but she is married to a wife, and she is eager to stay together, and then she lives peacefully, so she hesitates.

Yang Zhi commanded expressionlessly: "You should have set up a reception banquet for me, right?" Do not alarm others. Tonight, I will arrange a clipper boat, and I will come out of Bai's house tomorrow afternoon, and immediately send me to Dangji Island! ”

Then he took a few deep breaths, walked out of the study as usual, and enthusiastically invited everyone to the reception banquet that had been set up long ago.

Mr. Yi is right, this is his own family matter. Not to mention Bai Xinglang's father and daughter, there is no need for the Qin brothers to be alarmed, not to mention that they can't help much.

After the banquet, except for Mr. Yi and Zeng Liu, everyone dispersed. In Yang Zhi's existing system, Wang Yuxin knew that he could only barely be regarded as a marginal person, and he was the first to leave the table and retire. The father and daughter of the Bai family do not need to say anything, and tomorrow's reception work must not be careless. The Qin brothers reunited after a long absence, so they naturally had a lot to say.

After everyone left one after another, Yang Zhi stayed in the study for a long time. Then Mr. Yi was summoned and solemnly instructed that he did not need to go with him tomorrow and stayed in Penglai as usual. After Cao Yuncheng, Liu Er and the Ma brothers arrived, they settled down.

The study of Zeng Liu is extremely simple. He grabbed a seat and ordered him to slash it down as quickly as he could. The seat was divided in half, Yang Zhi looked at the incision, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's a pity that it's a good wenge seat!" When I pass this hurdle, you will marry a mother-in-law and make a home on Long Island! ”

The next day's media trip, if it doesn't go well, then there will be no reason.

Qin Jiaoyang and Bai Ranbing have been in love for a long time, and Penglai is known all over the city. Getting married is only a matter of time, and Bai Xinglang has already prepared. There is the first-class Flying Tiger Marquis of Daxia Qinfeng, the new governor of Sanpin Customs personally guarding the media, and climbing the high branch of the richest man in Daxia, and the eldest son of the Qin family is even presiding over it in person as the head of the family, Bai Xinglang knows that even if he goes to the street to hang out in the future, everyone's eyes will add a little jealousy and awe.

Just for the role of matchmaker, Yang Zhi can be described as extremely incompetent. Show up, put on a name, say a few conventional, have a meal, wipe your mouth, and leave. As for when the engagement will take place, and when the marriage will be scheduled, you will discuss it for yourselves. No way, busy! It's been a long time since I've killed someone, and I don't necessarily have time to drink happy wine! (To be continued......)
