Chapter 197: Losing Rank and Demotion to Knighthood

Of course, Lao Feng believes in Yang Zhi's ability, even if he is not an official, he will not worry about it in this life, his ability to make money is obvious to all.

And he also knows Yang Zhi's identity and background, if it weren't for the fact that this matter was too big, no matter how big the horror was, he wouldn't be able to stop it, and he wouldn't worry about Yang Zhi.

After killing hundreds of scholars and officials, the entire Suzhou was completely quiet, and the remaining officials were all terrified, for fear that Yang Zhi would fall into the devil.

Lao Feng was responsible for appeasing these officials and buying people's hearts.

The effect is obvious, at least now the officials in the entire Suzhou are headed by Lao Feng, and he has almost become the assassin of Suzhou.

The people have not changed much, but the price of grain in the market has risen by 50%.

This is not the case in Jiangnan alone, but in the whole world, the Jiangnan granary case is too big, Yang Zhi killed people in Suzhou, and the officials in other states in Jiangnan are in danger, and many people have to take out their savings and buy grain to fill the granary.

With so many granaries, how much grain do you get, and buying all the grain circulating in the market is a drop in the bucket.

The price of grain is naturally rising, and here in Suzhou, after Yang Zhi directly dealt with a few businessmen who more than doubled the price of grain without authorization, the rest of the people were honest.

Wu Xuelian's family left, and as for where they would go, Yang Zhi didn't care.

A few days passed like this, and finally a holy decree came to the capital.

The second prince, Yang Jing, ordered him to return to Beijing on the same day and not to stay in Jiangnan.

Prince Yang Kang, changed to a southern tour, set off on the same day.

Bai Yanfeng, the assassin of Suzhou, returned to Beijing to report on his work due to lack of governance, and waited for the arrangement of the officials.

Feng Zhongyao was promoted to the history of Suzhou Thorn, the key is that Feng Zhongyao was also given another identity in this holy decree, the deputy history of the Jiangnan Provincial Inspector, the temporary position of the Jiangnan Provincial Inspector, and the supervision of the six states in the south of the Yangtze River.

This is a real promotion, although he was also a Songzhou Thorn History before, and he was also a second grade, but now he has become a Suzhou Thorn History, not to mention that this is a direct recovery of the second grade, and there is also a position of deputy history inspector of Jiangnan Province.

This holy decree is full of weirdness, I really don't know what His Majesty the Emperor thinks about the high-ranking emperor.

Then there are the officials in the Jiangnan provinces, self-examination and self-correction, the granary problem will not be held accountable, but it is necessary to ensure that the Jiangnan granary meets the requirements within three years, otherwise the local officials will still be held responsible.

I have to say, this hand is too beautiful.

Although these officials ostensibly escaped the disaster, in reality they were only given three years to fill the shortfall.

This still has to be the emperor's means, and this kind of damage can be thought of.

When Yang Zhi knew about this matter again, he was very surprised, and he was still thinking about how much impact this incident would have on the Dasheng Dynasty in the future.

Since Lao Feng has become the deputy inspector of Jiangnan Province and the post of inspector of Jiangnan Province, the result of Yang Zhi can be imagined.

Removed from the post of inspector of Jiangnan Province, the title was also demoted from the Marquis of Zhongyong to the Uncle of Zhongyong, and the post of Governor of Songzhou was removed, and the position of Governor of Songzhou was taken over by Zhang Erniu, the general of Xiping Guan.

It is equivalent to Yang Zhi being almost swept to the end, and he has changed from a high-ranking and powerful Jiangnan Provincial Inspector to a count again.

But there is another one, which is the most surprising to Yang Zhi, that is, to let Yang Zhi make meritorious service and serve in thousands of households in the Jinling Army.

Yes, you read that right, it's a thousand households.

From a Jiangnan Provincial patrol history that can mobilize hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jiangnan, it has become a thousand households.

Even when he was the governor of Songzhou, Yang Zhidu still had 40,000 soldiers and horses, and in the blink of an eye, he became a thousand households.

An earl, or a general, has become a thousand households, doesn't this make the world laugh?

But what others think Yang Zhi doesn't know, but he is really happy.

What's wrong with Qianhu, there are few things, and there will finally be no need to do so much in the future, the key is that the earl's title is still there, and this is the biggest gain.

The emperor is not so unkind!

At first, Yang Zhi thought that he would directly become a civilian, but there was nothing.

Unexpectedly, he also fell into the position of a thousand households in the Jinling Army, and retained the title and fief of the earl.

Even the things that were previously sealed by the Marquis of Zhongyong were confiscated back.

Yang Zhi laughed, laughed!

He was happy, but some people were not!

On the side of the Qin family in Suzhou, the Qin family gathered together, waiting for Qin Jingren, who was sitting on the upper position, to speak, he was the principal of the Qin family in Jiangnan.

"Don't guess, the eldest brother has already sent a letter about this, and there is someone behind Yang Zhi to help him speak!"

Qin Jingren said helplessly: "The eldest brother has tried his best to make him lose the position of the inspector of Jiangnan Province, and he has been demoted from a marquis to an earl, which is already a concession from that person." ”

Qin Li asked with an uncertain expression: "Third Grandfather, is there anyone in this court who dares to speak for someone like Yang Zhi?" ”

Qin Jingren sighed and said, "Big Brother didn't expect that the person who spoke for Yang Zhi would be Xiong Lao!" ”

"Old Xiong!"

Qin Li said with a shocked face: "Why is he, hasn't he ignored the government all these years?" Besides, with Yang Zhi, a deposed son-in-law of the Wu family, how could he have anything to do with Xiong Lao. ”

Xiong Lao, Dasheng Dynasty, if there is anyone else who can make the Shi clan and the Qin family jealous, Xiong Lao is definitely the first.

Because he is the left minister of the Dasheng Dynasty, the head of the heavenly officials, and even the right minister Qin Jingtian is also Xiong Lao's protégé.

He spoke for Yang Zhi, and even Qin Jingtian, the right minister, did not dare to refute.

"At this time, we don't know, the eldest brother also said, the Qin family should not touch Yang Zhi for the time being, when you meet him outside in the future, you can hide!"

Qin Jingren made the final decision on this matter, this is also the pillar of the Qin family, what his eldest brother means, there must be some deep meaning.

Qin Li secretly thought to himself, Yang Zhi actually escaped another catastrophe, did this kid take shit luck? can let Xiong Lao speak for him, does he know Xiong Lao?

Of course, Yang Zhi didn't know about the game in the court, who helped him speak, and he didn't know that the Qin family wanted to use this matter to kill him directly.

To say that the Qin family's losses in Jiangnan this time are not small, especially in Suzhou, all the officials who have a relationship with the Qin family were beheaded by Yang Zhi.

Now that Suzhou is Feng Zhongyao's assassin history, presumably the Qin family's life in the future will not be as good as before, and Lao Feng should not forget the Qin family's move to remove him from the position of Songzhou assassin.

In fact, Yang Zhi probably thought of all these changes, but in addition to his accident, there was another person who also surprised Yang Zhi.

That is Lin Yang, who followed Yang Zhi, he became a ranger general in Suzhou, originally Yang Zhi thought that he, the deputy general of the Songzhou Prefecture Army, was about to be forgotten by the Ministry of War.

Unexpectedly, this time it was a blessing in disguise, and the Jiangnan who followed Yang Zhi also made him take a big step forward, although it was not to return to the Right Tiger Guard, but this ranger general in Suzhou was also a good position.
