Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and looked like he was thinking, glancing at Liang Rong from time to time.

"Can you guarantee safety?"

"Of course!"

"I can't believe you just because of what you said!" Yang Zhengshan acted very cautiously, as if he was really thinking about the feasibility of this matter, and as if he was really attracted by the three hundred taels of silver.

Liang Rong smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, this is not our Liang family's business!"

"Whose voice is that? If you want me to participate, you have to give me some information!" Yang Zhengshan said softly.

Liang Rong hesitated now. How much information should I give?

"I can't say anything else now. I can only tell you that the prefectural government and the military preparation department are involved in this matter!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly.

He already knew these things, and it didn't make any sense for Liang Rong to say it or not.

But would Liang Rong know more?

Xu Wanfu didn't even know about the Black Cliff Village, what about Liang Rong?

The purpose of the Secret Guards is not the Black Cliff Village, they have only one purpose, that is, the Qing Palace.

If it was just a Black Cliff Village, the Secret Guard would not have gone to such great lengths.

And if Liang Rong didn't know about the involvement of the Qing Palace, there would be no point in arresting Liang Rong, but it would only alert the enemy.

Yang Zhengshan fell silent.

Liang Rong was not in a hurry either, and waited quietly.

For a moment, the room fell into silence.

Wei Cen looked at Yang Zhengshan's back, frowning. He didn't know what Yang Zhengshan was going to do, but he couldn't remind Yang Zhengshan at this time.

After a long time, Yang Zhengshan said, "I can give you the warrant, but it's five hundred taels at a time!"

"Sir, this is not appropriate!" Liang Rong shook his head.

Yang Zhengshan said solemnly, "You and I are relatives. Logically, I shouldn't bargain, but you also understand that this is a beheading deal. Three hundred taels is too little!"

Greed is human nature. He has to show enough greed now to reassure the other party. If he agrees at once, the other party may doubt his intentions.

Liang Rong thought for a moment and said, "Then let's take four hundred taels. We still have to deal with the prefectural government and the military governor's government."

Yang Zhengshan's consciousness turned over again and he suddenly laughed, "Then I wish Brother Liang a prosperous business!"

The two smiled at each other and felt very satisfied.

Only Wei Cen frowned slightly, not understanding why Yang Zhengshan accepted Liang Rong's silver.

This was obviously inconsistent with their previous plan.

Their previous plan was to use Yang Zhengshan as a gun, let Yang Zhengshan fight with the other party, and lead out the people and forces behind the other party.

But now Yang Zhengshan has joined the other party.

This~~

Then Liang Rong took out four hundred taels of silver notes and handed them to Yang Zhengshan, who accepted them calmly and went to the front yamen to get him a warrant.

The whole process was very smooth, as if Yang Zhengshan often did such things.

Well, he did often do such things, isn't it just stamping a seal?

Thinking back to the time when we were on the construction site, we wanted to get a special stamping machine.

Now it’s just stamping an official seal, simple and easy.

But after sending Liang Rong away, Yang Zhengshan directly handed four silver bills to Wei Cen.

“What do you mean?” Wei Cen frowned and looked at Yang Zhengshan warily.

That vigilant look seemed to say, ‘Don’t try to bribe me.’

Yang Zhengshan said unhappily: "Put it away, and don't come to me for revenge later!"

"Uh!" Wei Cen was startled, and then asked in confusion: "What are you going to do?"

Yang Zhengshan stuffed the banknote into his arms and said: "You want to use me as a shield, but I don't want to be a gun!"

"Instead of fighting with them, it's better to join them as an undercover."

"With my identity, they will definitely do their best to win me over, because without my cooperation, their goods can't leave the customs!"

Wei Cen was still puzzled, "But even if they trust you, they may not tell you everything."

His worries are not unreasonable. Cao Han and Xu Wanfu are both their people, and they have even cooperated with them for several years, but they don't even know the existence of Heiya Village.

Yang Zhengshan joined them and became an undercover, and it is estimated that this is the result.

Yang Zhengshan turned around and walked back to the reception hall, saying, "In fact, you have almost finished your investigation. You have found all the people involved in Anyuanzhou City, but what you want now is evidence about the Qing Palace."

"And if you want to find evidence about the Qing Palace, you need to force the Qing Palace to take the initiative to jump out."

"This is definitely impossible to do in a short period of time, because you have already alerted the enemy when you captured Cao Han."

"So what we have to do now is to let them relax their vigilance, wait until they trust me, and feel that they can continue to make money and count silver as before."

Wei Cen pondered for a while and said, "But if this happens, they will send a large amount of supplies to the Hu people. Although Lord Liang has severely damaged the Donghai Hu people before, it is inevitable that the Donghai Hu people will revive again."

According to their investigation, the supplies transported from Anyuanzhou City to the outside of the pass are not small, enough to feed a hundred thousand troops.

The Donghai Hu people have been able to rise so quickly in recent years because they provide various supplies.

Yang Zhengshan chuckled, "We certainly can't let them deliver supplies to the Hu people!!"

"Then you still want to join them?" Wei Cen was a little dissatisfied.

Yang Zhengshan glanced at him, then picked up the tea and drank it, "We can't stop them here in Anyuan Prefecture City, but what about leaving the customs?"

"As Eunuch Lu, there is no problem in letting the soldiers and horses from the battalions of Chongshan Town go out for patrols!"

"As soon as they step out of the border, intercept and kill them!"

"Not just them, but also the Hu people who traded with them!"

"Once or twice is not a problem. If it comes a few more times, they will definitely become anxious. Then they will have to find their real master."

There are only two situations now. One is that Prince Qing's Mansion was not involved in this matter, so the secret military guards could not find evidence. The second is that Prince Qing's Mansion was hidden too deeply and almost cut off its connection with this matter.

If it is the second situation, there will be a very key figure here, but it is still unclear who this figure is.

If Miwuwei wants to find evidence related to Prince Qing's Mansion, he must first identify this person.

But how to identify this person?

That would naturally force this person to come out.

If this road to wealth is cut off, the people behind it probably won’t be able to sit still.

In addition to this purpose, Yang Zhengshan mainly did not want to be used as a gunman.

Once he becomes a pawn of the Secret Martial Guard, the other party will definitely kill him first. He doesn't think that he can really be foolproof.

And once things get out of hand, the other party will use all possible means, and he and everyone in the Yang family will face life threats.

Yang Zhengshan naturally didn't want to put himself in danger, so he thought of a way to force the other party out and give Lu Hua an explanation.

After listening to Yang Zhengshan's words, Wei Cen's eyes were filled with inexplicable emotions.

"I need to report this to the Admiral!"

"Well, I think Eunuch Lu will agree!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

Wei Cen nodded, turned around and exited the guest hall without saying anything more.

…

Wei Cen acted quickly and brought back Lu Hua's reply the next day.

Just as Yang Zhengshan said, Lu Hua agreed to his proposal.

This is normal. If Yang Zhengshan is just a defender, Lu Hua will definitely not care what he thinks. But there is Zhou Lan behind Yang Zhengshan, and he once promised that Zhou Lan would try his best to save Yang Zhengshan's life.

In addition, the plan proposed by Yang Zhengshan was very good, so Lu Hua could not find any reason to refuse.

With Lu Hua's consent, the rest will be much simpler.

For Liang Rong, he only needs to issue the warrant, and there is no need for him to do anything else.

As for Lu Hua, there was no need for him to do anything. The Zhenbiao Battalion would naturally handle interceptions and killings outside the border, and only the Zhenbiao Battalion could do such a thing.

As a result, Yang Zhengshan became somewhat aloof from the incident.

Of course, he did not really stay out of the matter. Wei Cen was still with him, and Liang Rong and others were also in Anyuan Prefecture City. The key to the matter was still in Anyuan Prefecture City.

At most, it is the calm before the storm. When the storm comes, Yang Zhengshan will still be a pawn and will still bear the brunt.

The only good thing is that there is still some time before the storm comes, and this period of time is the time for Yang Zhengshan to prepare.

His top priority is to train the garrison into an elite force.

With soldiers in hand, everything is safe.

As long as he can control the garrison and train the garrison into elite soldiers, then no matter what happens next, he can deal with it calmly.

Winter is not suitable for military training, but time is tight, and Yang Zhengshan has to make the soldiers suffer more.

He spent two days writing a training plan.

That night, after Yang Zhengshan finished dinner, he revised the military training plan in the study room of the main courtyard.

When it comes to military training, he is quite familiar with it.

However, there are more things that need to be paid attention to during winter training, and he needs to think more about it.

While Yang Zhengshan was looking at the military training plan, Yu Qingyi stood outside the door and hesitated for a long time before knocking on the door.

"Come in!"

Yang Zhengshan said without raising his head.

"Public woman pays homage to your lord!"

"Well, something's wrong?"

Yu Qingyi lowered her head and said softly: "A civilian woman would like to ask you for a favor."

In the world, she is the head of the Azure Sword Sect who is respected and admired by many people, but here she is just a civilian woman.

This is the difference between civilians and officials.

Unless her cultivation can reach the innate realm, she will have no choice but to be humble in the face of power.

Yang Zhengshan raised his head and looked at her, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Different from two days ago, Yu Qingyi's injury was almost healed at this time. His pale face was rosy, and his whole person looked brighter.

Beauty!

And she is a mature beauty.

If this was the case in her previous life, she would have been a typical imperial sister.

Speaking of which, Yang Zhengshan hasn't paid much attention to this person in the past two days. After all, he has a lot of things to be busy with, so he has time to care about Yu Qingyi.

And he only has one request for Yu Qingyi, and that is to stay in the yard honestly.
