Yang Yi, the commander of Anyang County, has been living in fear these days. Everything was going well, but the Western Qin army was at the city but did not launch an attack. Instead, they retreated after looting Anyang County and extorting countless gold, silver and wealth from Anyang County Magistrate Cheng Pingzhi. Anyang City was unscathed. Of course, this was naturally not written in the memorial to the court. In the memorial, the county magistrate Cheng Pingzhi was the head of the county, and Yang Yi was the general to defend the city, commanding the entire army and waiting for the battle. The whole city of Anyang City was full of soldiers. The strong bandits in Western Qin saw that there was no gap to take advantage of them, so they had to retreat reluctantly. As the memorials were reported together, there was also a large list of rewards for the memorials.

Of course, there are people in the court who understand it, but everyone carries the flower sedan chair. Among the soldiers of Anyang County, there are a large number of children of the court officials who pay the gold here. Even though they know what is going on, everyone will agree with this memorial in unison.

At the moment when the entire western border army was destroyed, if they just defended Anyang City, they would become extremely dazzling. With this contribution, they would lay a good foundation for transferring away from here and going to another place in the future.

But what made Cheng Pingzhi and him both worried was that after the memorial was heard by Datian, there was no news and the following was lost. The news from the capital immediately shocked the two of them.

Especially Yang Yi, the prince Min Ruocheng fell, and what was even more terrible was that the left prime minister Yang Yihe was also angered the emperor because he tried to protect the prince and was forced to resign and return home.

It's okay for Cheng Pingzhi. He was in this position. Although he did not clearly express his support for the prince in politics, under the influence of Zuo Lixing, he was still quite biased towards the second prince Min Ruoying in his actions. The fall of the prince and the second prince took office may be a good thing for him. What shocked him was the real reason for the destruction of the western border troops conveyed from the capital.

This is a document marked as the highest confidentiality, which was issued by the second prince himself and was only issued to the county magistrate level, and even Yang Yi didn't know why.

After being shocked, he became angry. The prince's move not only tricked Zuo Lixing, but also put him on fire. If he really lost Anyang County, he, the county magistrate, was the official who lost his land, and he would not have to be held accountable. He was filled with righteous indignation and wrote a memorial to severely punish the prince Min Ruocheng, but after thinking about it, he still suppressed it. Now he is glad that he did the right thing, because there is no following in this matter.

It seems that the old emperor's body is no longer good, and he feels like licking his calf. He can't bear to attack his son. This is a normal thing, but when he thinks of Zuo Lixing and the 60,000 western border troops, Cheng Pingzhi feels sad.

But that's all. At this critical moment, any extraordinary behavior is taboo. Cheng Pingzhi started an orderly disaster relief work with an unchanging attitude.

This is the first time since he took office, but there are many local officials in Anyang County who have been in charge of 10 or 20 years. When doing this, he is familiar with it, which saves him a lot of worry.

Compared to Cheng Pingzhi's indifferentness, Yang Yi was not very calm. Although he and the left prime minister Yang Yihe were relatives, they didn't know how many turns they had turned. Yang Yihe still remembered whether he was a relative, but in normal times, he used to take these things around, fearing that others would not know. Now that he wanted to clear it, it was something that Chang Qian's mouth could not say clearly.

Whenever I think of this, I can't help but feel annoyed. Yang Yi and you, the immortal, aren't you seeking death by yourself? The prince did such a big deal, and you actually want to protect him. This is completely a birthday boy who hangs himself. It doesn't matter if you seek death by yourself, but you will also implicate a large number of innocent people!

Yang Yi naturally drew himself to the innocent. At this moment, he naturally forgot that he had been in the officialdom for many years, and he relied on the reputation of the Zuo Prime Minister. He said he was a relative of the Zuo Prime Minister. Could it be that someone else dared to ask Yang Yihe if he had succeeded? And even if he checked it carefully, he could really make some connections.

The glory of the past has now become a fatal drag. Thirty years from Hedong to Hexi, the ancients really did not bully me!

Yang Yi could feel the changes around him. The first was his deputy Suqian, who had been humbly bent over and greeted with smiles when he saw him from afar. He had been holding his head up and showing off his chest and showing off his vigor from time to time in front of him. His name also changed from General Yang to Brother Yang. The small change in title means that the other party's awe of him is no longer there. Suqian is a civilian, with no origin, but his martial arts cultivation is quite high, and his level of seventh level peak is much stronger than himself. He is also good at flattering and scheming. After several transfers, he has reached the Anyang County soldiers who are at the peak of Angelica. But he has never looked down on him very much. He seems to be humble to his background and has always been low in front of him. It is precisely because of his care that he has been having fun with him in recent years.

But now it seems that the other party is going to turn over and be the master of the family.

"Even without me, it's not your turn to be the leader of the world." Whenever he saw Suqian straightening his backbone in front of him, Yang Yi cursed in his heart.

If the changes in Suqian only made Yang Yi feel cold in the world, then the changes in other people's attitude towards him would make him panic. First of all, Cheng Pingzhi.

Last night, Cheng Pingzhi called Suqian to discuss the defense and bandit suppression work in Anyang County. After the chaos, bandits will inevitably fight. The matter of mobilizing county soldiers was such that the county magistrate Feng did not call himself the chief official. The meaning here was too clear.

Today, I went to the County Magistrate's Money and Grain Office to collect the food and wages for May. Ping was the official who was smiling and always took out 10% more to please me. He actually looked down on his face and made an official voice with himself. In the end, he only gave him 80% of the food and wages. What did the county magistrate say that in this time of crisis, the county soldiers should work together with the people of the county and overcome difficulties together.

Bah! Yang Yi spat hard in his heart, just watching himself lose his mind, and wanted to beat the dog in the water and stomp on him again.

It is the norm for life to support the top and down the officialdom. Yang Yi has done this himself, but when it is his turn, he naturally feels extremely uncomfortable.

Even the little officials who were not attracted to the eye in the past dared to persevere themselves, which shows how badly their situation has deteriorated. In the past few days, Yang Yi has even been unwilling to enter the military camp. Among the county soldiers, most of the leaders are figures with backgrounds. The level of knowledge of the news is sometimes faster than that of the county magistrates, and these people naturally change their faces faster.

I walked home with a horse in a bad mood. It seemed that I had to send my family away first. The little wealth I had accumulated over the years had to be transferred away quickly. Otherwise, when the second prince changed his face, he would definitely be in trouble. He would not dare to escape, but he could not resign from the front. This would make people feel aware of it, or he could win the favor of some people.

Over the years, except for being a little greedy, I have not done anything bad. I don’t expect anyone to chase me and take my life! Yang Yi sighed with the worst plan in his heart.

"General, general, madam, please come home quickly." A family member ran to him in front of him with sweat on his head.

"What happened at home? I was so anxious?" Yang Yi growled dissatisfiedly. He was still the commander of the county soldiers. In this county town, he was a noisy second-ranked figure. His family's expression had already made pedestrians on the street look sideways.

"General, someone is coming to the capital, it's the inner guard!" The family lowered their voices, but they couldn't suppress the trembling sound.

Yang Yi's legs were weak and almost fell to the ground. Inner Guard! How could it be the inner guard from the capital? Apart from having a kinship with Yang Yihe who could not even get into a 8-point relationship, he has never done anything that is harmful to the world. What did the inner guard from the capital do to him?

The first reaction was to escape. But where to escape? His wife and children were still at home. Isn’t this pushing them into the fire pit? It’s useless to find Cheng Pingzhi. In just a few days, he is benevolent and righteous.

He gritted his teeth, straightened his body, threw the reins to his family, and with his hands on his back, he forced himself to hold back his panic and walked home step by step.
