Yang Gongzi's recent life can be described in four words, that is, poverty and luxury......

Ah Xuan may have found out with his conscience, and he had a face-to-face with the Hu people, and found that these generals and thieves under his command were too weak, so he often took them out to practice, and by the way, he hunted a lot of prey back.

In addition, winter is coming, and if it snows in the northwest, it will be basically difficult to move an inch, and many merchants will either sell their goods and go home, or prepare to stay in Gaotang for the winter. Whether it is the former or the latter, Gaotang has ushered in a peak period of trading.

Treasures from all over the world were sent to the castle like water, and before the New Year began, the New Year's goods had been set up in advance.

These are nothing to Yang Gongzi, but what makes him linger the most is his bed......

"Childe." A Juan's voice came from outside the door, "Yang Tong is back, saying that there is news of Mr. Ning." ”

Yang Shu cursed and got up from the bed to get dressed.

Mingwei opened her eyes and rubbed her eyes sleepily.

"It's okay, let's go back to sleep." Yang Shu rubbed her hair.

"Hmm." Mingwei didn't insist and lay back.

The strength of this body is much worse than Yang Shubi. After all, she has been raised as a fool for more than ten years, and it has been less than two years since she took over, no matter how much she has practiced her foundation. Unlike him, he can't get up in bed, and it's pure debauchery......

I slept for a long time, and when I woke up, it was dark outside.

Yang Shu was not in the house, which made Mingwei a little strange. Isn't it done yet?

got up, dressed and washed, and took care of the house, but saw Yang Shu in the hall.

Next to him were Ah Xuan and Ah Juan, and the old shopkeeper Yang Youde and Hou Liang were also present.

Mingwei stepped into the house: "What's wrong?" ”

The old shopkeeper saluted her with an indescribable closeness and respect: "Miss Ming." ”

Mingwei nodded and looked at the general Yang Tong.

She remembered that Yang Tong and Ning Xiu went out together. Speaking of which, it's been half a month since they've been away, and they haven't come back yet.

"Something happened to Mr. Ning?"

Yang Shu nodded and said, "Yang Tong said that Senior Brother was detained by the Zong family. ”

Ming Wei was stunned: "Zong family? Is it the Baimenxia clan? ”

"Which sect is there in the northwest, naturally they are."

She frowned: "Didn't you say that something happened to the Western Business Road, and Mr. Ning went to deal with the dispute?" How did you get involved with the Zong family? ”

It was Ah Xuan who opened his mouth to explain: "Because the Zong family is also suppressing bandits." Mr. Ning went this time, and took the thief's den over there, and happened to meet the son of the Zong family who was suppressing the bandits, saying that he had crossed the line, so he detained the person. ”

"Oh." Ming Wei thought for a while, "Mr. Yining's skills, if you really want to run, you will definitely be able to run." He didn't come back, because he didn't want to cause unnecessary conflict? ”

"It should be." Yang Shu's brows tightened, "Senior brother only brought a dozen people, he can run back by himself, but others ......"

Mingwei looked at Yang Tong: "What about you?" Did Mr. Ning ask you to come back to report the news, or is it the Zong family? ”

Yang Tong replied: "The Zong family specially let me back." ”

"That's it!" The matter was already very clear, and Ming Wei asked, "What are the requirements of the Zong family?" ”

Yang Tong looked at Yang Shu: "They want Gongzi to pick up people in person." ”

Mingwei wondered: "Isn't this very clear?" Why is it that after so long, you are still discussing, is there any difficulty? ”

Yang Shu said: "This matter is very simple, but it is not simple to go to see Zongxu. ”

To put it bluntly, the emperor put him in the northwest, and what he was most worried about was that he had a relationship with Zong Xu. He can make a big fuss at Beitianmen and step on Liang Zhang's face, but if he changes to Zongxu, he can't be good.

You must not test the emperor's trust, you will die a miserable death.

Mingwei asked suspiciously, "Does the sect know about this situation?" ”

In the emperor's heart, not only Yang Shu is the key object of suspicion, but also the Zong family. They have controlled the left army for three generations, guarding Baimenxia, and have both military merits and prestige, and they are more native emperors than Liang Zhang's local emperor.

Such a family of generals is not only an important minister trusted by the emperor, but also an object of vigilance.

And the Zong family has always been very interesting, the man went to the border at the age of twelve, and the women and children did not leave the capital until they died, did not make friends with important ministers, and did not marry nobles.

The meaning of life is to guard the northwest gate, never trespass, and live as a model of loyal ministers and good generals.

The old shopkeeper said slowly: "What Miss Ming said is exactly what the little one thinks is wrong. The Zong family is very careful, the son is demoted out of the capital this time, even if they don't know the inside story, they must have heard the rumors. It stands to reason that they should stay away and should not take the initiative to associate with their sons. ”

Mingwei remembered that Yang Shu came to Gaotang, and Liang Zhang once sent someone to condole. And Zong Xu, but he didn't make a sound from beginning to end, as if he was demoted to an insignificant horse supervisor, and he didn't say anything at all.

This is very in line with Zong Xu's consistent style, which shows that he is still clear in his heart.

"Speaking of which, it's a bit strange this time! Was Mr. Ning really detained by the Zong family? ”

"It's true." Yang Tong replied, "The one who detained Mr. Ning is Zong Rui, the eldest son of the Zong family, and his subordinates have seen it before, so they will not admit their mistake." And the people he brought with him were indeed the Zong family army. ”

These generals of the Yang family are all generals taught by the eldest princess and the old marquis. In this regard, their vision will not be wrong, whether they can fight a war, whether they are elite soldiers or not, you can know at a glance.

"Then this matter is interesting......" Mingwei looked at Yang Shu, "What do you think?" ”

Yang Shu said in a deep voice: "Senior brother is in their hands, they must go, but how to go, you need to think about it." ”

Ming smiled and said: "I think this matter is actually quite simple, don't think too complicated." ”

All eyes were on her.

Listen to her: "Didn't the son of the Zong family say it? We crossed the line. ”

She accentuated the tone on the word transgression.

Ah Xuan immediately understood: "That's right! They began to seriously suppress the bandits, and it was only a matter of two or three months. ”

The Zongjia army is so strong, why didn't the bandits in Yanshan be wiped out? The first is that these bandits are cunning, and the second is that they are not bold enough to do it. The duty of the Northwest Army is to guard the border passes, and it is the work of the government to suppress bandits, so they have not been very strong in suppressing bandits, and they have a bit of an errand to deal with.

And as soon as Yang Shu came, he emptied the large area of thieves in Yanshan. So the right army also began to seriously suppress the bandits.

They didn't think much about it before, and they thought that someone in the Zong family had taken the lead, so they dared to do it with confidence.

Looking at it now, it is simply a reason to prepare it early.

The benefits of suppressing bandits are many, in addition to the seized stolen goods, there are also offerings to merchants, and other benefits brought by the opening of trade routes.

It seems easy to understand that the interests of the two sides have friction and conflict?

Yang Shu thought about it, and smiled: "It's hard for them to prepare for so long, just to find a reason." Okay, this son will fulfill them! ”
