Chapter 112

Yang Xuan left the Governor's Yamen with an extra guide in his pocket. Yang Tian loyally waited at the door. Seeing Yang Xuan's dejected look, he knew the general idea in his heart and did not dare to ask any more questions.

Passing by the Zhensi Yamen, Yang Xuan wanted to try his luck, so he gave a tael of silver to the concierge and submitted the post.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement from the concierge. Yang Xuan was a little impatient and pressed the concierge.

The concierge was quite impatient and said: "The door bag of our Yamen is indeed one tael of silver, but Mr. Zengtai has been too busy recently, and the people who come to him have crossed the threshold. We also give the door bag according to the level of the door bag.

Introducing guests. There are a few people ahead of you, please wait."

Yang Xuan suppressed his anger and asked Yang Tian to give two taels of silver to the concierge. The concierge, who had two taels of silver for nothing, said with a smile on his face: "Master, please wait a moment, we will go and inform you immediately."

A quarter of an hour later, the concierge came over with an angry look on his face and said, "The stage is busy right now, and no one can be seen."

When Yang Xuan was about to argue, the porter said: "As mentioned above, your case is too difficult. It involves foreigners, Marquis Yang Zhongwu, and the Tiandihui. It is difficult to handle! We, the Yamen, can't handle it.

This matter!"

Yang Xuan was furious and cursed: "The Yamen is in charge of the punishment of a province, and you can't control it, so what are you doing for food!"

Not to be outdone, the concierge replied: "Hey, don't think that because you are a young master, we don't dare to do anything to you. We can't offend foreigners, so why can't we deal with you?"

Yang Tian also helped: "You accept three or two of our packages and give them back to us!"

The concierge was furious and called to the yamen at the door, saying: "Your door bags have been distributed to all brothers. If you are able, come and get them."

Seven or eight government officials came up to them like menacing gods, staring fiercely at Yang Xuan and Yang Tian's master and servant.

Yang Xuan felt the short spear on his waist. A good man would not suffer the immediate loss. He hesitated for a moment and left the Yamen with Yang Tian.

A dozen litigators gathered outside the Yamen. The so-called litigators were people who specialized in litigating cases for the common people in the feudal era.

Seeing that Yang Xuan looked unhappy, several lawyers gathered over. One of the leading lawyers said:

"Sir, when you first came here, I told you that it was difficult to enter the Yamen, the face was ugly, and the words were ugly. If you didn't believe me, did you suffer the loss of being dumb? Look at what kind of lawsuit you want to file, maybe I can still

How about I help you?"

Yang Xuan said angrily: "I want to sue the religious people, will it work?"

The litigant quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "Sir, please don't make fun of me. When there is a conflict between the parishioners and the people, the government always protects the parishioners. These days, all cases involving the parishioners are basically

It’s the teaching people who win…”

Yang Xuan knew that these lawyers could not help him, so he stopped talking and took Yang Tian to a restaurant for dinner.

He was used to spending a lot of money and was very hungry. As soon as he entered the restaurant, he asked for a private room, ordered a table of good food and wine, and had a hearty meal with Yang Tian.

After the meal, the two of them had nowhere to go, so they had to go back to the Sichuan Guild Hall. As soon as they reached the gate, the concierge stopped him and cursed: "Where did you come from? You are not from Sichuan at first glance. We live in the hotel."

When it’s full, go find another place!”

Yang Xuan was furious. Before he was imprisoned, he was generous and liked to socialize. He often returned to the clubhouse in the middle of the night. For this reason, he gave many benefits to the concierge and became quite familiar with him.

A tiger is bullied by a dog. Now, even a small guild hall concierge dares to look down upon others?

Yang Xuan was about to have an attack, but he saw the concierge winking at him desperately. Yang Xuan was puzzled, and the concierge whispered urgently:

"Sir, the official is here, sneaking around at the door of your house. He hasn't left yet, so run away!"

Yang Xuan was shocked. He had thought that since he had the Admiral of Guangdong taking care of him, it would not matter even if he escaped from prison. Who knew that the official would come to his door so quickly.

Just at this moment, an official heard a movement at the door and came over.

Yang Xuan pretended to be calm and scolded the concierge: "I don't like your Sichuan Guild Hall! What a shabby place!"

The official had no doubts and said to the concierge:

"Old man, if the man named Yang comes back, please inform us immediately. Not only the governor and governor are watching this matter, but even Guangzhou General Muten in the flag camp is also very concerned about it! If you can't catch him, you will be the one to watch!"

Yang Xuan was shocked again. If he joined the Tiandihui, what would he have to do with General Guangzhou?

He pretended to be calm and bowed to the official: "Brother, I wonder what mistake Yang made to make the governor and general care so much? If there is a chance, if we meet Yang, we will notify him in time.

To you."

The official realized that he had made a mistake and became impatient when faced with Yang Xuan's questioning. He said, "This matter is none of your business. Don't inquire."

Seeing this, Yang Xuan quickly took Yang Tian with him and quickly left the Sichuan Guild Hall.

The General of Guangzhou belongs to the official rank of the Eight Banners, the same as the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. However, the General of Guangzhou can only be held by Manchus, so his status is higher than that of the Governor. The green battalions in the province are controlled by the General of Guangzhou.

The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, including the Eight Banners of the Manchus, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and the Eight Banners of the Mongolia, had only more than 200,000 people. The Eight Banners troops were mainly stationed in strategic large cities, and separate inner cities were built in large cities, which were called Mancheng and Banner Camps.

.

Yang Xuan was a white man with no official position. Guangzhou General Muten was a high-ranking official. How could he suddenly pay attention to Yang Xuan?

Is it because of his father's tragic death? Is it because Muten wants to stand up for his father? Looking at the official's attitude, it doesn't look like it at all!

Yang Xuan was puzzled.

Suddenly, a bold guess made him shudder.

My grandfather, Yang Yuchun, was a military general. He was awarded the title of Marquis Zhaoyong, and his disciples were famous all over the world. Famous generals in the Jiaqing and Daoguang years, such as Yang Fang, Qi Shen, Wu Tingang, Zhu Tingbiao, You Dongyun, etc. were all Yang Yuchun's subordinates.

Even looking at the current world: Hunan Admiral Xiang Rong is leading the army to suppress the Tiandihui uprising; Guangdong Overland Admiral Tao Yu is supporting the crisis in Guangzhou. Both of them have also been promoted by Yang Yuchun.

Uncle Yang Guozhen was appointed governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. Wu Chen and his son were both governors, which was extremely rare. The world also compared Yang Yuchun and his son with Zhao Liangdong and Yue Zhongqi.

However, successive Qing emperors were very wary of Han military officials.

Zhao Liangdong was responsible for pacifying Wu Sangui in Yunnan, but his military exploits were concealed by the Manchu generals Tuhai, Zhangtai, and the great scholar Mingzhu. Emperor Kangxi also accused him of being narrow-minded.

Yue Zhongqi entered Tibet and brought peace to Qinghai, but was impeached by Zhang Guangsi and Ortai, and was sentenced to "execution by execution" by the Ministry of Punishment. (Later changed to "execution by execution" by Emperor Yongzheng, and fined 700,000 taels of silver.)

Let's look back at my uncle Yang Guozhen. He was brave enough to do his job, but he caused rumors among the Manchus. He was deprived of the title of Marquis Zhaoyong and was dismissed from his post.

It seems that it is very likely that Yang Yuchun has made great contributions to the lord, and his old officials are all over the world. The Qing emperor needed him to quell the chaos, but now that Yang Yuchun is dead, it is just right for Yang Guozhen to operate on him.

Yang Xuan's participation in the Tiandihui is providing an excellent excuse for his political opponents to overthrow Yang Guozhen and overthrow the Yang family's power!

Thinking of this, Yang Xuan shuddered. Everyone said that officialdom is dangerous, but Yang Xuan finally realized it.

Grandfather Yang Yuchun fought hundreds of battles in his life, and his tactics were changeable. He often charged into battle and was never injured. The Hui people admired his reputation and called him "Khasa Yuban". Emperor Jiaqing called him "Fujiang".

When Yang Xuan was a child, he often stayed with his grandfather and heard many anecdotes about his grandfather. He knew that the reason why Yang Yuchun rarely got injured was not only good luck, but also because he was skillful in controlling generals and his subordinates were willing to fight to the death for him.

For example, Yang Fang was a famous general during the Daoguang period and participated in the First Opium War. Yang Yuchun first met Yang Fang and admired Yang Fang very much. He recommended her to General Fukang'an. The two were commoner acquaintances and became brothers.

.

Yang Yuchun was good at controlling people, so the court was naturally very suspicious of him. Fortunately, Yang Yuchun was a low-key person and died a good death.

However, many unlearned and unskilled Manchu ministers in the court had figured out the emperor's suspicion of the Han people, and they always wanted to impeach the Yang family in order to ask for credit.

Since the reign of Daoguang, Han government officials have been on the rise, and the power of the Manchus has been declining. Important positions such as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the governor of Liangjiang, and the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, which were traditionally held by Manchus, have also begun to be filled with Han ministers.

Yang Guozhen was appointed governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and countless eyes were staring at him! The last time he participated in the impeachment, Emperor Daoguang dismissed his marquis and asked him to dismiss him and stay in office.

If enough work can be done on Yang Xuan this time, Yang Guozhen will be able to oust Yang Guozhen from the throne of governor.

If you are involved in an official battle, things will become complicated!

Yang Xuan was in a very depressed mood. Looking at the people coming and going on the street, he actually felt homeless.

Guangzhou is such a big city, where else can I go? There is no way to go back to Sichuan Guild Hall.

Guangdong Admiral Tao Yu?

Judging from the meeting in the morning, Tao Yu was polite on the surface, but in fact he was defensive. Perhaps, for Yang Yuchun's sake, he did not do anything dirty to him. Perhaps, he just couldn't figure out the situation and was not aware of General Guangzhou's conspiracy for the time being.

If Tao Yu knew that General Guangzhou was trying his best to visit Yang Xuan, would he still be so polite to him? Would he still show him the way?

Maybe, this road guide is Tao Yu's trap!

Yang Tian is loyal and trustworthy.

Other than that, who else could Yang Xuan turn to for help? Perhaps, only Heaven and Earth in the city would.

Yang Xuan took Yang Tian to a secluded place and asked, "Is there anything else in the guild hall?"

Yang Tian said: "I have all the banknotes. There are no valuables in the guild hall. There are only the master's memorial tablet and the smoking utensils and snuff bottles he used during his lifetime."

Yang Xuan stared at Yang Tian and asked: "We have to avenge the master. The government can't count on it. I'm going to find the brothers of the Tiandihui and ask them to help avenge me. This is a murderous business. Are you willing to follow me? What if?

If you're afraid, I'll give you a sum of money and you can go back to your hometown in Sichuan first."

Yang Tian straightened his back, widened his eyes and said: "Young Master, our two families have been friends since our ancestors. My grandfather protects Marquis Yang Zhongwu, and I protect the young master. This is my birthright duty. I can avenge the master.

, even if I go through fire and water, I will never hesitate."

Yang Xuan patted Yang Tian on the shoulder and said: "Good brother, you are indeed a good man of our Yang family! From now on, we will share the wealth and share the hardships!"
