Although Yang Kang did not see the content of the letter, he knew that the letter would definitely involve the content of the rebellion, which made him tremble with fear, but he did not dare to disobey Linghu Yu's orders, so he could only grit his teeth and leave the city and rode his horse to Shouchun.

When I passed by Chenliu, it was already late, and Yang Kang's home was in Chenliu, so Yang Kang decided to go home and stay for a while and then set off tomorrow morning.

Yang Kang's father Yang Yi was the prefect of Youbeiping County, Youzhou. He retired because he was old and is currently at home. Yang Yi has always been not satisfied with his son Yang Kang's position under Linghu Yu, thinking that Linghu Yu is a bad person and has no good ending with such a person.

While eating, Yang Yi saw that Yang Kang was a little dazed and was unconfused, so he asked why.

Yang Kang was a filial son. He didn't want to involve his father in this matter, so he refused to tell the truth. He just was sent by the governor Linghu Yu to go to Huainan for business.

If Yang Yi was just a commoner, he would naturally not know the tricks. However, Yang Yi, who had been a prefect, was clear about the affairs of the officialdom. It would be easier for Yang Kang to hide it from him. Yang Yi only asked a few questions, and Yang Kang showed his flaws.

Huainan belongs to Yangzhou, and Yanzhou and Yangzhou are only parallel units and have no relationship of superior and inferior affiliation. Linghu Yu sent Yang Kang to Huainan for business, which has a big problem in itself, and Yang Kang's speech is vague and he speaks concealedly, and it is obvious that there is something to hide from him.

Yang Yi's face sank and ordered Yang Kang to tell the truth.

Yang Kang quickly knelt on the ground, told Yang Yi all the things about it, and presented the letter Linghu Yu to Wang Ling.

"I'm confused, my son!" Yang Yi said with a heartache, "Linghu Yu did a serious crime of treason. You should do it for him and help the evil. After the incident happens in the future, our Yang family will be destroyed!"

Yang Kang was also indifferent. He was originally worried about the consequences of the leak. Now, after hearing what Yang Yi said, he was even more confused and said repeatedly: "Father, what should I do?"

Yang Yi scolded his son, but he quickly calmed down. After all, Yang Kang had just been involved in this matter. If he could make a first report in time, the court might be exempted from holding him accountable.

"My son doesn't have to worry. This matter needs to be discussed." Yang Yi thought for a long time and ordered the housekeeper to go to the prefect's office to invite the prefect Xue Zheng of Chenliu.

That’s right, it was not Yang Yi and his son who came to visit him, but Xue Zheng was invited over. It was probably in the middle of the night that Xue Zheng had almost fallen asleep. Yang Yi sent someone to call the largest official in Chenliu County at this time. How much face does this mean?

But Yang Yi does have such a great face. When Yang Yi was the chief official in Youzhou, he praised Xue Zheng as a filial and honest person. In other words, Xue Zheng was Yang Yi's disciple. Although Yang Yi had retired, he was a teacher for one day and a teacher for life. Xue Zheng was respectful to Yang Yi.

Sure enough, when the butler of the Yang Mansion arrived at the prefect's mansion, Xue Zheng had already fallen asleep. But when he heard the teacher summoned him, Xue Zheng immediately got up from the bed without saying a word, dressed neatly, and rushed to the Yang Mansion.

Although it was a fog, Xue Zheng knew that the reason why Yang Yi called him so late must be a big deal, so Xue Zheng did not dare to be negligent. Since the Yang family and Taifu Mansion were only separated by a street, Xue Zheng did not have to ride a horse or take a car, and rushed to the Yang family all the way.

After entering the door, after a brief remark, Xue Zheng asked, "The teacher was summoned late at night. Is there something important?"

Yang Yi looked solemn and nodded, "I asked Ji Zhi to come late at night. There is indeed an amazing event. Yanzhou Governor Linghu Yu and Yangzhou Governor Wang Ling conspired to establish a new king. My son Yang Kang was also involved. I asked Ji Zhi to come here just to discuss what to do about this matter?"

Xue Zheng was shocked. It was generally a matter of the court. If the local officials involved in this matter, it was completely equivalent to plotting rebellion, and then this matter is naturally different.

However, the governor of Yanzhou Linghu Yu was Xue Zheng's immediate superior, while the governor of Yangzhou Wang Ling was the newly promoted Grand Marshal, ranked among the three dukes and had a respectable status. If you want to prove them to rebel, you must provide real evidence. The matter of catching up with the wind and shadow is definitely not possible.

Xue Zheng glanced at Yang Kang and said, "Is there any real evidence?"

Yang Yi took out a letter and said, "This is the handwritten letter written by Linghu Yu to Wang Ling, which can be used as a certificate."

Xue Zheng took the letter. Originally, the letter was sealed with hot paint, but when Yang Yi read it, he had already opened it. Xue Zheng opened the letter and read it hurriedly, and his face changed suddenly.

In this letter, Linghu Yu mentioned the preparations for the establishment of King Cao Biao of Chu as the new king in Xudu, and the evidence of rebellion is as strong as a mountain.

Xue Zheng carefully packed the letter and said to Yang Yi solemnly: "Teacher, this matter is of great importance. You need to submit a report to the court immediately and the court decides it."

Xue Zheng is just a small prefect. The one who is suspected of rebellion is his immediate superior, and the other is the current magistrate who holds heavy troops. None of these two people can afford to Xue Zheng. Moreover, this matter is too big, and it is far from what Xue Zheng can manage. Only now can I report to the court truthfully and deal with it by the court.

Yang Yi nodded and said, "I'm just trying to avoid alarming the snake. Should I let the child continue to go to Huainan?"

Xue Zheng shook his head and said, "The son is the key witness of this case, and this letter is the only physical evidence of this case. You need to go to Luoyang together."

They were going to report it, but if the two officials in the border areas did not have real evidence, how could the court easily believe them? Now they only have such a letter as physical evidence, and Yang Kang himself was a witness. If neither Yang Kang nor the letter came to Luoyang, it would be obvious that it would be impossible to sue Linghu Yu and Wang Ling.

However, if Yang Kang did not go to Huainan and mysteriously "disappeared" halfway through the way, it would inevitably arouse the alertness of Linghu Yu and Wang Ling, which would alarm the enemy, and would have been a disaster.

Yang Yi proposed to ask Yang Kang to continue to go to Shouchun, Huainan to deliver letters. The advantage of this is to stabilize Linghu Yu and Wang Ling, but without evidence, it is also difficult to win the trust from the court.

This matter seemed to be in a dilemma, and all three of them frowned and thought hard.

But seeing Xue Zheng pondering for a while, his eyes rolled, he slapped his thighs suddenly, and said excitedly: "I have it!"
