Chapter 36 Countermeasures

The news of the extermination of the Qingyun Gang soon spread throughout Chang'an with Xiao Feng's dismissal of many parliamentarians, and the surviving parliamentarians in the council hall were either terrified or many bureaucrats in the Prime Minister's Office.

No, before Xiao Feng returned to the Prime Minister's Office, Song Xin, Minister of Commerce, hurriedly left his office and found Yang Chenglong all the way.

Yang Chenglong has been planning a new steel mill recently, because it needs a lot of funds and personnel, so he has been working around the Ministry of Commerce to attract enough funds with the help of Song Xin's strength.

Seeing Song Xin looking for him, he naturally didn't push back, but opened his mouth and asked, "Are you looking for me, isn't it because of the Qingyun Gang?"

Song Xin's expression stiffened, and he replied with a shy face: "That's right." So I want to ask you, can you help me?"

"Help, what do you mean?" Yang Chenglong's eyes narrowed slightly, with a bit of scrutiny.

Song Xin hurriedly complained: "Isn't there a rumor in the city that the Qingyun Gang was destroyed by the lord." And among the Qingyun Gang, a lot of evidence was found, and those parliamentarians were also deprived of their fame because of this. So I want to ask Brother Yang, what is the lord's opinion on this Qingyun Gang?"

Song Xin was afraid that his affairs would be exposed, so he could only ask Yang Chenglong crookedly, trying to find a breakthrough from Yang Chenglong.

"Opinion?"

Yang Chenglong chuckled, his eyes full of the other party's figures.

Although Song Xin was trying to hide his inner thoughts, he was walking around with an anxious face at the moment, and by chance he looked around as if he was stunned by something, as if something was spying on him.

Yang Chenglong asked: "Is it possible that you are also involved in this Qingyun Gang?"

"This!"

Song Xin's face froze, revealing a little embarrassment, and he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to lower his head and beg: "I used to be a little curious, so I went in by chance to see what it was like." At the end, he raised his head again and defended: "Of course, I didn't stay long, and I came out soon?"

"Really?"

Yang Chenglong scoffed, and his sharp eyes always stared at each other.

Song Xin was stared at like this, and he also felt uncomfortable, so he had to bow his head and reply: "Okay! I admit that I did more than once!"

"Humph!"

With a light snort, Yang Chenglong asked with a look of disdain: "Forgive me, even if you want to lie, I'm afraid that I won't be able to deceive the lord." Taking a deep breath, he continued to ask, "What about anyone else besides you?"

The Qingyun Gang has been entrenched in the Chengxi Railway Station for more than ten years, and according to the prostitutes found and a lot of evidence, it has also been known that the Qingyun Gang has been selling prostitutes and setting up brothels for quite a long time.

For such a long time, it would be strange to say that Song Xin was alone.

"This!" Song Xin looked ashamed and said: "In addition to me, there are also Li Ling, the current Minister of Finance, Wang Cunshan, Vice Minister of Education, Zhang Peisong, Vice Minister of Agriculture, and Zhou Peicheng, Minister of Railways. ”

"Zhou Peicheng, he also participated?" Yang Chenglong looked surprised.

Zhou Peicheng used to be his deputy, and he had always been responsible for managing funds, and he never disappointed Yang Chenglong, so when Yang Chenglong was transferred from the Ministry of Railways to serve as the Minister of Industry, Zhou Peicheng served as the Minister of Railways to continue to build the third phase of the railway project.

Song Xin couldn't help but lower his head and replied in a low voice, "That's right." Seeing Yang Chenglong's unacceptable look, he immediately defended: "Of course, I didn't force him, but he was also curious, so he went there with me!"

"You guy, why did you do this?" Yang Chenglong couldn't bear it, and immediately opened his mouth to scold: "He is your colleague, why did you take him to the fire pit?"

"I didn't expect that. After all, Situ Yun said that he would help us keep the secret. Who knew that in a blink of an eye, the Qingyun Gang was terminated, and Situ Yun was also dead. Although Song Xin wanted to defend himself, he finally felt annoyed and began to regret why he was involved in this!

"Are you trying to blackmail me?"

Yang Chenglong's anger was high, although he wanted to blast Song Xin out directly, but his descendant Zhou Peicheng also fell into it.

Yang Chenglong began to struggle at this moment, whether he should lend a hand.

This Zhou Peicheng was single-handedly promoted by him, which can be called a kinship, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is also the same as a master.

If Zhou Peicheng enters, Yang Chenglong is afraid that he will not be able to escape the relationship.

Song Xin was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that he had a little hope, and raised his head again, with tears in his eyes, and begged: "It is precisely because of this that I beg you to help and persuade the lord." Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll spend the rest of my life in prison. ”

In this Chang'an, who doesn't know that Xiao Feng has always been indifferent, and he pays the most attention to fairness and honesty, that is, if his loved ones are discovered, he will still be arrested.

If he is caught, he will really spend the rest of his life in prison.

"Well, you get up first. ”

Yang Chenglong was still hesitating, not knowing if he should lend a hand.

"No! if you don't agree, then I can't afford to kneel for a long time!" Song Xin also lost his sense of shame, so he always knelt on the ground, with an attitude of not giving up until he reached his goal.

"Okay! I'll just promise you. Yang Chenglong could only agree to such a plea.

Song Xin suddenly showed joy and said with a smile: "Really? Then I don't have to go to jail?"

"Not really!" Yang Chenglong shook his head and explained, "You also know the methods of the lord, and there has always been no room for betrayal. It is precisely for this reason that ordinary means are not useful at all!"

"If it's according to you, then wouldn't I be completely dead?" Song Xin cried: "If that's the case, then I might as well flee to the Song Dynasty!"

"Song Dynasty, you must not have such a mind! Not to mention how many spies the lord has arranged at the train station now, just waiting for you to throw yourself into the net. If the crime of defecting to the enemy is known to the lord, it will definitely be a crime of one more degree. When the time comes, you will wait in your cell to die. Yang Chenglong warned seriously, but he was afraid that Song Xin would do such a stupid thing.

Song Xin was startled, and hurriedly responded: "I, I understand." ”

"Alas, you still called Zhou Peisong first and told me, how many things have you committed, if it is not serious, you may be able to survive. But if it's too serious, then I can't save you. Yang Chenglong shook his head and sighed, angry at Song Xin's behavior.

But now it's all happening, and he can only try to make up for it.

Song Xin hurriedly responded: "Thank you Minister Yang." ”
