As soon as Cao Guang and others succeeded in the grassland, someone sent the news back to Lingqiu.

The person who conveyed the message was naturally not the war soldiers under Cao Guang from Daliangshan, but the guy who opened the tiger flag in Xinpingbao Shop, and was also a spy officer from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau.

The shops opened in various places, not only in normal business transactions, but also inquire about information and pass on messages.

The intelligence intelligence personnel in the Tiger Flag shop like this are different from the secret spies of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau. Few of the secret spies know their identities, while the shopkeepers and friends who opened the Tiger Flag shops, others know that they are people from the Tiger Flag.

However, no one has ever suspected that the shops opened by Tiger Flag are used to convey information and collect intelligence. After all, it is normal to open several shops with large businesses like Tiger Flag. In the past, the Fan family even had Fan family shops in several government offices.

Yang Yuan stood in front of Liu Heng and said, "Xu Ji's goods have been delivered to Xinpingbao. They will be sent to the grassland with our convoy under the Tiger Banner once."

Liu Heng nodded slightly and said, "The smuggling business with Beilu is very important to us. If we lose the business road on the grassland, we will not only lose money, but also a network of relationships with officials from all over the country. As long as there are constant trade roads on the grassland, it will be impossible for Xu Tong to deal with our tiger flag."

"I understand." Yang Yuan said, "I have arranged for someone to keep an eye on the Governor's Office. As long as there is any movement, news will be heard back soon."

Liu Heng smiled and said, "You did a good job in this matter. If the secret spy who was placed in the Governor's Office of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau received the news in advance, maybe Xu Ji and Bei Lu had a deal."

"I thought the Fan family had stopped fighting for the business road after Tumote's battle, but I didn't expect to have the idea of ​​business road between us and the Northern Lu. This time I colluded with Xu Tong, the governor of Datong. If they really made the matter done, they might really threaten the business road of our tiger flag on the grassland." Yang Yuan looked lingering fearful.

As an important figure in the tiger-like flag, he knew very well how important the caravan of Beilu was to their tiger-like flag.

Nowadays, there are many more people who have fled from Liaodong to Lingqiu. Although the demand for manpower by the Tiger Banner has greatly alleviated the consumption of financial resources by the Tiger Banner.

Liu Heng smiled and said, "I am not surprised that the Fan family has approached Xu Tong. Now that the Ming Dynasty has closed the Ma market, it is the best time for smuggling. The Fan family will not easily miss such an opportunity."

"It's a pity that our horse team has too few people. If there are enough people from the horse team, we can get rid of them before the Xuji team arrives at the grassland." Yang Yuan sighed.

"Cultivating cavalry is not something that can be done overnight." Liu Heng said with a smile, and then said, "Tell me what's going on in the capital."

"Yes." Yang Yuan agreed and said, "As expected by the boss, Wei Zhongxian and Wang An's battle, Wei Zhongxian won in the end."

“Tell me in detail.”

Yang Yuan continued: "When Wang An was about to become the eunuch of the seal, Keshi persuaded Emperor Tianqi, which prevented him from becoming the eunuch of the seal. Later, the clerk Huo Weihua criticized Wang An. In the end, Wang An was sent to Nanhaizi to serve as the Jing army and was killed by Nanhaizi's admiral Liu Chao. Now the inner court can be said to be the dominant family of Wei Zhongxian."

Liu Heng sighed: "This Wang An wants to be Feng Bao's second place, stands on the side of the Donglin Party, and fights with Wei Zhongxian and Keshi endlessly. His fate can be imagined. Emperor Tianqi is not a child, so how could he tolerate the appearance of Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng?"

"Since Guangzong ascended the throne, Wang An had great power in the inner court and was maintained by the Donglin Party outside, but he ended up like this now." Yang Yuan sighed.

Liu Heng also sighed in his heart.

If he hadn't known this history, knew that Wang An would be defeated by Wei Zhongxian and Keshi, and knew that Wei Zhongxian would be a powerful nine thousand years old in the future, he would not have believed that Wei Zhongxian would survive the attacks of Wang An and the Donglin Party, but instead became the eunuch with the greatest authority in the inner court.

"What is the attitude of the Donglin Party towards Wang An?" Liu Heng asked.

Yang Yuan said: "The Donglin Party has written many letters to criticize Wei Zhongxian and Keshi, asking the emperor to kill the eunuchs and drive Keshi out of the palace. Emperor Tianqi has always ignored it. On the contrary, Liu Yiyin, the chief assistant from the Donglin Party, did not stand on the side of the Donglin Party this time, but was trying his best to maintain the relationship between the inside and outside the court."

Liu Heng looked at the direction of the capital and said, "It seems that the prime minister is going to replace him again."

"Ah! Change the chief assistant?" Yang Yuan was stunned and immediately said, "This chief assistant Liu has only been in office for more than half a year, so he shouldn't have stepped down so quickly!"

Liu Heng picked up the large teapot on the table, took a sip of water, and said, "Liu Yi-Yun is a member of the Donglin Party. He does not stand on the side of the Donglin Party. The Donglin Party members definitely don't want him to continue to be the chief minister. Naturally, the other parties also resist Liu Yi-Yun, the chief minister of the Donglin Party. It may not take long for memorials to impeach Liu Yi-Yun to be full of the imperial cases of Emperor Tianqi."

"How long has the Chief Assistant Fang left office? I have to change the Chief Assistant again." Yang Yuan said, "The Liaodong Jurchens have not yet been resolved. However, our Ming court has been quarreling endlessly and has spent all its energy on internal strife. How can we still have energy to deal with the Jurchens? They don't think about it. There are so many people in Liaodong who are homeless."

The tragic situation of the people in Liaodong who fled to Lingqiu is heartbreaking to see.

This is the Liaodong people who fled to Lingqiu alive, at least they saved their lives. There are countless Liaodong people who died on the way to escape, and countless Liaodong people who died tragically under the butcher knife of the Jurchens.

Thinking of the tragic situation of the people in Liaodong, and hearing that the officials of the court only knew how to fight for power and profit, endless internal struggles, but no one cared about the lives and deaths of the people in Liaodong, which made him extremely disappointed with the court.

Liu Heng put down the big teapot in his hand and said, "How have the refugees sent to the grassland arranged it?"

"The arrangement has begun to come out of the customs from Xinpingbao, but so many people are too conspicuous to walk together. In order to prevent Xu Tong from being noticed, the people who came out of the customs were divided into several batches. So far, more than a thousand people have been sent away." Yang Yuan said.

Liu Heng nodded.

The construction of warehouses on the grassland is imminent. This time, the people of Liaodong who fled to Liaodong just ripe for the time being to build warehouses.

More importantly, these Liaodong people have lower demands than the Datong people. If they were Datong people, they might not be willing to go out of the pass to the Beilu territory. However, for the homeless Liaodong people, as long as they can live, it doesn’t matter where they go.

"Master, Mr. Zhao is back." Zhao Wu came to the signing room to report.

Liu Heng smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to come back so soon. I thought it would take a few days to leave and go with me to welcome him."

The two people walked out of the signing room.

Zhao Yutu rushed back to Lingqiu from Xuanfu. He did not sleep in the open along the way, but he also took a bus and finally returned to Xujiazhuang.

Several people returned to the sign-in room and sat down separately.
