Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

It is more than 50 miles away. If you gallop, you can arrive in more than half an hour.

When Yang Zhengshan arrived at Liaoan City, there was nothing unusual in Liaoan City, but there were more soldiers stationed at the city gate than usual.

After arriving, Yang Zhengshan did not choose to enter the city immediately, but arranged two followers to disguise themselves and sneak into the city first.

It took about half an hour for the two followers to go around the city and come back to report: "Sir, everything is normal in the city, but Mr. Zheng's mansion has been confined by officers and soldiers. The specific situation in the mansion is unknown."

Yang Zhengshan looked at the outline of Liaoan City in the distance and asked: "It's just confined. Is the gate open? Are there any people going in and out?"

"It should be just confined. The gate is open, and officers and soldiers are going in and out, but I haven't seen the servants of Mr. Zheng's family!" The follower replied.

Hearing this, Yang Zhengshan breathed a sigh of relief.

The gate of the mansion was open, and soldiers were coming in and out. It was most likely that Zheng Xiao was only placed under house arrest, and no one was killed.

If someone was killed, the city should not be so calm.

After all, Zheng Xiao was the Imperial Censor of Salt Inspection. If Luo Fu killed him, he would have to give an explanation to the court. Even if he had all the connections, he would have to pretend.

Block the city gate, search for the murderer, and find a scapegoat.

Yang Zhengshan pondered for a moment, and then said to the two followers around him: "You two go and see where Song Dashan and the others are. When they are still 20 miles away from the city, come and report to me!"

"Yes!" The two soldiers rode away on horseback.

Yang Zhengshan looked around and sat down next to a rock.

At this time, they were four or five miles west of Liao'an City. There were several small hills, which were very suitable for them to hide.

"You go and keep an eye on the city gate. If you find that the city gate is about to close, notify me immediately!" Yang Zhengshan arranged two followers!

It is difficult to hide when more than a thousand soldiers are on the march. If someone happens to run into them and report the matter to the various government offices in the city, the city may immediately block the city gates and take a defensive posture.

Now Yang Zhengshan is waiting, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up army, waiting for the reaction in the city. If the city does not react until Song Dashan and his troops are at the gates, then he has won the bet.

If he reacts in advance, he may have to toss it.

The key now is whether he can lead his troops into the city smoothly.

As for attacking the city, it is definitely impossible.

Yang Zhengshan can't and dare not do it.

He led his troops to Liao'an Prefecture, and the old emperor might be able to understand him, but if he led his troops to attack the city, the old emperor would definitely chop off his head.

"Sir, Sir Song is already twenty miles away!" The two personal attendants who went to find Song Dashan before came back and reported.

Yang Zhengshan stood up and saw the two personal attendants who went to stare at the city gate also came back.

"Get on the horse!"

He immediately rode up to meet him.

"Sir, there seems to be something unusual at the city gate!"

Yang Zhengshan's expression moved slightly, and he understood that someone had discovered Song Dashan and his men.

This is not a border town, and the cities and guards will not send soldiers to patrol the surroundings, but the area around Liao'an Prefecture is prosperous, and Song Dashan and his men passed through many villages and towns along the way.

Ordinary people are not clear about the mobilization of the army. When they see a large group of soldiers, they will only stay away, but some people will come forward to ask about Song Dashan and his men's origins.

If anyone thinks something is wrong, they may report it to the prefecture city.

And Liao'an Prefecture is not an ordinary prefecture. Liaoyuan Provincial Administration Commission, Provincial Inspection Commission, and Dusi Yamen are all in Liao'an Prefecture City. In short, Liao'an Prefecture is the capital of a province and the resident of major yamen.

Yang Zhengshan had anticipated this situation, so when he saw the henchmen staring at the city gate coming back, he knew that the prefecture city would react soon.

Block the city gate, investigate the origins of Song Dashan and his men, prepare for the city defense, etc.

What Yang Zhengshan had to do was to stop the city gate from closing before Song Dashan and his men arrived.

Without any hesitation, Yang Zhengshan led twenty of his followers and headed straight for the city gate.

When they arrived at the city gate, the soldiers at the city gate had already moved the barricades and were ready to close the city gate.

"Stop, who are you!"

Yang Zhengshan and his group rode their horses and galloped over, immediately alerting the soldiers guarding the gate.

Hiss~~

Yang Zhengshan stopped Hongyun, who let out a loud neigh and stopped in front of the city gate.

"Yang Zhengshan, the commander of the Tenglong Guard! Get out of the way!"

Yang Zhengshan held the reins tightly in one hand, held the black iron spear in the other, and wore a golden lacquered mountain armor. He looked at the soldiers guarding the gate in front of him with a cold and handsome face.

At this time, there were about fifty soldiers in front of the city gate, which should be a general flag.

Hearing the name Yang Zhengshan reported, the soldiers on guard were all stunned. They knew Tenglong Guard, after all, Tenglong Guard was just north of Liaoan Prefecture, only a hundred miles away from Liaoan Prefecture.

"Liaoan Vanguard General Chen Qia greets you, sir!"

A man in his forties walked out of the city gate quickly and bowed to Yang Zhengshan.

"Yes!"

Yang Zhengshan patted Hongyun's mane, and Hongyun stepped forward, "Get out of the way, this general has important things to do."

"This, sir, just now the Dusi Yamen and the Fu Yamen have ordered the city gates to be closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!" Chen Qia said with a stiff face.

Yang Zhengshan glanced at Chen Qia indifferently, and Chen Qia suddenly felt cold all over and shivered.

"If you want to live, get out of the way. This place is no longer your business!"

Yang Zhengshan said as he drove his horse forward.

The personal followers behind him followed closely behind. Seeing this, the soldiers guarding the city gate showed fear and retreated one after another.

"Sir!" Chen Qia wanted to dissuade him, but before he could say anything, a spear was placed in front of him.

"You have no place to speak in front of this general!"

Yang Zhengshan said coldly.

Chen Qia looked at the sharp spear point in front of him, swallowed his saliva nervously, then backed away and said: "I obey my order, I obey my order!"

He probably hadn't heard of Yang Zhengshan's evil reputation, otherwise he would never have dared to say more than a word just now.

But it doesn't matter even if he has never heard of it. Facing swords and guns, and facing the powerful Yang Zhengshan, he can only withdraw from the city gate.

In this way, Yang Zhengshan occupied the city gate.

Afterwards, Yang Zhengshan rode on horseback and stood behind the city gate, with twenty followers standing behind him.

Chen Qia looked at his posture and didn't understand that he was waiting for the troops behind to arrive.

"What, what's going on?"

Chen Qia was extremely panicked. He was just a general and had no access to high-level information, and he had no idea what was happening in the city.

He hesitated for a moment, then quickly ran towards Dusi Yamen in the city.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good!"

As soon as he ran into Dusi Yamen, he shouted in panic.

Xu Huazhen walked out of a wing in the Yamen and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Huazhen is the commander of Liao'an Vanguard, and his yamen should be in Liao'an Vanguard, but now he is leading the soldiers of Liao'an Vanguard to garrison the city defense of Liao'an Fucheng, so he is temporarily working in Dusi Yamen.

Before Chen Qia could speak, an official wearing crimson official robes walked out from the depths of the Yamen surrounded by a group of people.

"What happened again?" Dong Yanhe, commander of the Liao'an capital, asked in a deep voice.

Chen Qia looked at Xu Huazhen and then at Dong Yanhe, sweating profusely but said nothing.

He is Xu Huazhen's soldier. Although Dong Yanhe is Xu Huazhen's immediate boss, there is a saying that the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. There are some things he can only say to Xu Huazhen, but not to Dong Yanhe.

Seeing this, Dong Yanhe's face became increasingly gloomy, and his deep eyes stared at Xu Huazhen like sharp swords.

Xu Huazhen's face changed slightly, and she kicked Chen Qia, "If you have anything to say, please tell me!"

Chen Qia screamed in pain and did not dare to hesitate anymore. He quickly said: "Sir, Commander Yang Zhengshan of the Tenglong Guard has captured the west city gate!"

"Yang Zhengshan!"

Dong Yanhe narrowed his eyes, he had heard of this name before.

He glanced at Xu Huazhen, with a sneer on his lips, "Very good, very good, now let's see how you end it!"

"Master Xu! Look at the good things you have done!"

Xu Huazhen's expression changed again and again.

Why did Yang Zhengshan come to Liao'an Fucheng?

It's not hard to guess!

He had just put Zheng Xiao under house arrest the day before yesterday, and came over immediately after entering Yang Zhengshan. It is self-evident why.

Xu Huazhen's face showed a look of panic, and his mustache trembled slightly.

"Sir, please excuse me for a moment!"

After that, he hurriedly walked towards the door.

He is going to find Luo Fu.

Putting Zheng Xiao under house arrest was what Luo Fu asked him to do, and Luo Fu said that this matter would not cause big trouble.

Yanyun Si Yamen is not far from Dusi Yamen, and Xu Huazhen soon found Luofu.

"Lord Luo, no luck, Yang Zhengshan is here!"

When Luo Fu heard this, his expression also changed, "Where is he?"

"At the west city gate!" Xu Huazhen said.

Luofu didn't panic, he just stroked his beard with a serious expression.

"Don't panic, things haven't reached the worst yet!"

"Even if Yang Zhengshan comes, he won't dare to run wild in the city!"

At this time, he was still holding a sense of luck in his heart. He didn't think Yang Zhengshan dared to do anything!

It is against the law for Yang Zhengshan to bring troops to Liao'an Mansion. How dare Yang Zhengshan still kill people in the city!

"But, but, what should we do next!" Xu Huazhen had already lost control at this time.

Luo Fu's mind was spinning rapidly, and he waved suddenly and said: "Gather the troops and horses to stop Yang Zhengshan. He must not be allowed to enter the city!"

"So, where is Master Zheng?" Xu Huazhen asked.

Luofu took a deep breath and said, "Ignore him for now!"

"Walk!"

After that, he took the first step towards the door.

After a while, the Liao'an vanguard troops in the city began to gather towards the west gate.

Not only soldiers and horses, but also officials from various government offices gathered towards the west gate.

Officials from the Dusi Yamen, the Chief Envoys' Department, the Inspector's Envoys' Department, the Magistrate's Yamen, etc. all gathered towards the west gate with solemn expressions.

Officials from all the major government offices actually knew something about the Salt Transportation Department, and many of them were involved, otherwise Luofu would never dare to put Zheng Xiao under house arrest openly.

Now that Yang Zhengshan is here, regardless of whether they are involved or not, all officials understand that if this matter is not handled well, there will be a major earthquake in Liao'an Prefecture.
