The first thousand two hundred and forty-seven chapters
Just when Yang Feng was in a bad mood, someone came to report: "Mr. Xu Shaokuan, Hangzhou Tongzhi, is visiting!"
"Hangzhou Tongzhi?"
When Yang Feng heard this, he felt even worse. What the hell is Tongzhi in Hangzhou?
In terms of level, Hangzhou Tongzhi is only a fifth-rank official, and is a thousand miles away from Yang Feng, a super-rank Duke.
In terms of the reciprocity in the officialdom, Hangzhou Tongzhi did not even have the qualifications to visit Yang Feng.
Besides, Yang Feng knew very well at this time that the reason why the psychic named Xu Shaokuan came over was to explain to him why there were yamen runners trying to stop the reinforcements led by Li Yan just now.
But who is Yang Feng? After so many years of hardship, he saw through these people's intentions at a glance.
These people were nothing more than seeing the assassination failed and were afraid that Yang Feng would take revenge on them, so they used this obscure way to surrender to him. In other words, they admitted their mistakes to Yang Feng and discussed some compensation matters.
But Yang Feng would not let these people go so easily, and immediately drove the Tongzhi out without thinking.
He immediately said to the servant who reported the message: "Go and tell the Tongzhi, and just say that I already know the matter. If there is any problem, I will naturally negotiate with Pan Ruzhen so that they don't have to worry."
When Xu Shaokuan heard the rumors from the servants, he was ashamed and didn't even say polite words, and bowed and left.
"What, you said Yang Feng didn't even want to see you, so he sent you out?" Pan Ruzhen, who was sitting on a chair in the governor's yamen, stroked his beard and snorted softly.
"That's right." Xu Shaokuan replied with his head down.
Just now, Yang Feng didn't even see him, so he sent someone to send him out. Logically, he should be very angry, but in fact he knew very well that Yang Feng was right to do this, and he would do this.
"Sir, Yang Feng probably guessed that those yamen runners were sent by us on purpose, so he directly turned the officials out."
Pan Ruzhen snorted coldly: "Hey... So what if you know? Those assassins are not sent by us. Could it be that he can still arrest people at will without any evidence? Besides, even if he wants to arrest people, he must notify us first and then our people will do it. Otherwise, if he, a general in charge of the army, would have been a serious overpass, and the civil and military officials in the court would never turn a blind eye."
"This... maybe." Xu Shaokuan said softly from the side. His intuition told him that this matter was not over yet, and Yang Feng would not give up so easily.
In fact, Xu Shaokuan's intuition is sometimes very effective. Just when Pan Ruzhen waved his hand and asked Xu Shaokuan to go out first, a yamen runner stumbled in. The pale yamen runner stuttered and said, "Old... sir, no... no, the Jiangning army has begun to arrest people all over the city."
Pan Ruzhen almost jumped out of the bed, and he grabbed the collar of the yamen runner and shouted sternly: "Catch someone? Who should I catch?"
"Who else is Peng Shouli and the group of merchants on the pleasure boat. Just now, they were blocked by Jiangning Army people in the pleasure boat. All of them were caught without running away!"
"Damn it, these bastards cause trouble for me every day, and another day I have to deal with them."
After getting angry, he was worried. Once the Jiangning Army was dispatched to arrest people, it meant that Yang Feng no longer wanted to reconcile, but instead directly resorted to force.
"This military master, you can't go in. The one sitting inside is a famous gentry in Hangzhou Prefecture. You must not hit the guests." The madam's voice sounded outside. It seemed that she did not recognize the Duke who had returned.
"bump!"
The door of the Huafang room was kicked open. Yang Feng, dressed in military uniform and armor, stood at the door with dozens of murderous servants, while the madam, the owner of the Huafang, and a group of brothel women, stood at his door and screamed in fear.
When Yang Feng saw Peng Shouli sitting in the pleasure boat, he actually smiled: "Mr. Qingshan, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon. But judging from your face, you seem to be not happy with this way of meeting."
Peng Shouli looked very ugly. In his opinion, the plan that he had almost made sure failed, which really made him difficult to accept, but he was not a person who easily admits defeat. He said lightly: "Mr., I don't understand what you are talking about. You left in a hurry after drinking half of the wine. Now you are back again. Could it be that something big happened?"
"There is no major event, but there are a lot of things to be ruined." Yang Feng's eyes showed murderous intent and shouted: "In view of the former Right Minister of Personnel Peng Shouli suspected of assassinating important officials of the court, I am detaining and imprisoning the Grand Governor of the Ming Dynasty and the Governor of the Three-Border. After the matter is investigated clearly, if you are really innocent, you will release it."
Peng Shouli was shocked and quickly said, "I admit this crime by assassinating an important minister of the court. If the prince has evidence, just take it out. If there is no evidence, based on your actions, I can sue you for trespassing in a private house."
"Traveling into a private house, haha... I'm so scared!"
Yang Feng laughed loudly, and the servants behind him also showed sarcastic expressions in their eyes.
This is the difference between businessmen and soldiers in terms of thinking. Merchants are used to using money to enlighten the way, and they pay attention to everything that one is famous for their masters.
Soldiers are different. People who serve in the army like to take things with their strength and take things with each other. They will be tough when they encounter things. It is good for them to have evidence, but it doesn’t matter if they don’t have them.
Yang Feng, who was not in the mood to talk nonsense to them, waved his hand: "Take it away for me. If anyone dares to resist, he will kill him!"
"Crazy..."
With Yang Feng's order, dozens of soldiers rushed in and quickly tied up the merchants. Some of the merchants in the middle even made a few words, but after being hit hard by the butt stock a few times, they all became honest.
Peng Shouli, who was tied up in many ways, stared at Yang Feng fiercely: "Zhuzi, don't be too proud too early. You are a mere warrior, but you dare to dance so happily. I am waiting for the day when you are dismissed from office!"
"Haha... I will let my official lose his post and dismiss him. Remember to raise the pillow after I go back later. I have everything in my dream. And I guess it won't take long to cry."
