Emperor Xian of Han appointed thirty-nine people including Yang Qi as the prefects and county magistrates of Qingzhou in the court, which made the parties involved stunned. After the court dispersed, they all gathered in Yang Qi's mansion to discuss countermeasures.

Yang Qi held a banquet in the back hall and greeted the court officials who were close to him. There was a new Penglai Order. Seeing that the deposed court officials were all sitting in the hall, he asked Yang Qi tentatively: "Shizhong, should the Grand Marshal invite the Grand Marshal to the banquet?"

Hearing Penglai Ling's words, Yang Qi waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "I have invited my younger brother when the court is dispersed, but he said he is cold and cannot attend the banquet. It seems that he is also worried that I will implicate him and intends to avoid suspicion."

"What should I do?" Penglai Ling, who had tried to keep calm, was a little panicked when he learned that Yang Biao was not here to attend the banquet. Although he was demoted to the county magistrate in the court, he was still not panicked. He felt that as long as he kept the green mountains and there was no worries about no firewood, as long as Yang Biao continued to be the Grand Marshal, he would be able to transfer his own people back to the court after the news passed. But at this time, he saw that the other party obviously did not want to trek into this muddy water, and he was suddenly panicked: "Yang Shizhong, if we have no help in the court, then we may not have thought of leaving the remote area of ​​Qingzhou in this life."

"Since the emperor has appointed us as officials of Qingzhou, we will take office as soon as possible." Yang Biao said helplessly: "As long as you gain a foothold in Qingzhou and contact other governors and prefecture governors, you may not be able to deal with Anyang Hou. As long as you eradicate Anyang Hou and return to the court, it is not a trivial matter."

The Penglai Order was obviously not as optimistic as Yang Qi in this matter. After the other party finished speaking, he smiled and shook his head and said, "The Shizhong didn't know. Penglai County, which was appointed as the county magistrate, had a population of 11,347 households and 56,421. But after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were only more than 4,600 households in the county, and only more than 15,000 people were left. With this little manpower, how can you fight against Anyang Hou?"

After saying this, Penglai Ling felt discouraged and was unwilling to stay here, so he bowed to Yang Qi and said, "Shizhong, the officials still have to go back to pack their luggage, so they will not attend the banquet. Goodbye!"

Seeing Penglai Ling leave, several county magistrates who were close friends could not sit still, so they also stood up to accuse Yang Qi and left the Shizhong Mansion with Penglai Ling.

As Penglai Ling and others left, the back hall, which had been sitting in full bloom, suddenly became much empty. Although the remaining guests did not get up and leave, they also became absent-minded. Especially after learning that the Grand Marshal Yang Biao refused to attend the banquet because he wanted to avoid suspicion, everyone felt sad that the rabbit died and the fox was so sad.

Everyone gathered in Shizhong Mansion to consider the relative relationship between Yang Qi and Yang Biao, hoping to get a promise from Yang Biao so that everyone can leave Beijing without any scruples. At the same time, they also hope to discuss a proper way to continue dealing with Han Zhan, and eliminate him once the time is ripe.

But now everything has become a bubble, and everyone has no worries to continue eating. The atmosphere of the whole banquet is particularly silent. Even if there are singing and dancing in the hall to cheer up, everyone looks like they lack interest.

After finally waiting for the wine, three tours of dishes and five flavors, a county magistrate Huang from a remote area stood up and asked Yang Qi: "Shizhong, everyone has been demoted to Donglai County. I wonder when to set off? Should we set off together or set off separately."

The words of Huang County Magistrate finally resonated with everyone, and they also asked Yang Qi: "Yes, Shizhong Yang, when will we go on the road? Should we go on the road separately or set off together?"

"Everyone, please be quiet." Seeing that the back hall was as chaotic as the vegetable market, Yang Qi quickly stood up, raised his hands and pressed down hard, and said to everyone: "We are incompatible with the Marquis of Anyang. Don't look at him today that he just asked the emperor to demote us to the official position. Who knows if he has any conspiracies and tricks behind him? If he takes office separately, as long as he sends a scepter, he can eliminate us one by one on the way. Therefore, we must leave Beijing at the same time to take office, so that even if he has any intention, he dare not act rashly in order to block the mouths of Youyou people."

"What Yang Shizhong said is very true." As soon as Yang Qi finished speaking, someone below echoed: "We will leave Beijing together at that time. See how many courageous Marquis of Anyang have to attack so many of us at the same time."

After the back hall calmed down again, Yang Qi twisted his beard and said to everyone: "It's getting late today. Everyone should go back early to pack their luggage. We agreed to join the east at the foreign exchange meeting in the east and go to Donglai County to take up their posts together."

The officials in the hall agreed in unison: "Now!" Then, they said goodbye to Yang Qi, returned to their respective mansions, began to pack their luggage, and prepared to go to Donglai County to take up their posts.

Shortly after the officials left, the spy hidden in the Shizhong Mansion reported the news of the party that night to Ju Su. When Ju Su heard that Yang Biao had not attended the banquet that night, he couldn't help but nodded slightly, thinking that it was a very wise choice for Yang Taiwei to keep a distance from these people.

Ju Su looked up and said to the spy, "Next, Yang Qi will go to Donglai County to take office. I asked you to think about whether to continue to follow Yang Qi to Donglai County to take office, or stay in Beijing? If you are willing to stay in Beijing, I will definitely arrange a good job for you."

After hearing Ju Su's words, the secret agent couldn't help but be moved. But then he thought that although he had not been undercover in Shizhong Mansion for a long time, he had already gained Yang Qi's trust. If he stayed in Beijing at this time, all his efforts would be wasted. Therefore, he thought about it again and again, and finally replied with a grudge, "Report to the generals of the army, the young man was ordered to stay by Yang Shizhong's side. As long as he was not dead for a day, the young man would not complete the task. The young man had already made a decision and was willing to follow him to Donglai County and send his information back to Beijing at any time."

Ju Su was a little surprised, but he also felt very relieved. Because if this spy chose to stay in the capital, he would need to send someone to lurk around Yang Qi again. As for when he could gain the trust of the other party, it would be an unknown. And this spy was deeply trusted by Yang Qi. If he followed him to Donglai County, he would probably get Yang Qi's reliance, and then he would continue to convey various messages back.

Thinking of this, Ju Su stood up and walked to the other party, raised his hand and patted the other party's shoulder twice, and said with a smile: "Since you are willing to follow Donglai County, I will not treat you badly. In the family in the capital, I will send someone to send money and food on time to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing."
