Chapter 139 I don't want to be robbed

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard as if thinking, and glanced at Liang Rong from time to time.

"Can you guarantee safety?"

"Of course!"

"I can't believe you just because of what you said!" Yang Zhengshan acted very cautiously, as if he was really thinking about the feasibility of this matter, and as if he was really attracted by the three hundred taels of silver.

Liang Rong smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, this is not our Liang family's business!"

"Whose voice is that? If you want me to participate, you have to give me some clues!" Yang Zhengshan said softly.

Now Liang Rong hesitated. How much should he reveal?

"I can't say anything else now. I can only tell you that the prefectural government and the military preparation department are involved in this matter!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly.

He already knew all this, so it didn't make any sense whether Liang Rong said it or not.

But will Liang Rong know more?
Xu Wanfu doesn’t even know about Heiya Village, so what about Liang Rong?
The Secret Guards' purpose is not to attack the Black Cliff Village. They have only one goal, which is Prince Qing's Palace.

If it was just the Black Cliff Village, the Secret Guards wouldn't have gone to so much trouble.

And if Liang Rong is unaware of the involvement of Prince Qing's Mansion, then there is no point in capturing Liang Rong, and it would only alert the enemy.

Yang Zhengshan fell silent.

Liang Rong was not in a hurry and waited quietly.

For a moment, the room fell into silence.

Wei Cen looked at Yang Zhengshan's back and frowned. He didn't know what Yang Zhengshan was going to do, but he couldn't remind Yang Zhengshan at this time.

After a long while, Yang Zhengshan finally said, "I can give you the warrant, but it's only 500 taels each time!"

"Sir, this is inappropriate!" Liang Rong shook his head.

Yang Zhengshan said solemnly: "You and I are relatives, so I shouldn't bargain, but you also know that this is a beheading deal, three hundred taels is too little!"

Greed is human nature, so he had to act greedy enough now to reassure the other party. If he agreed right away, the other party might doubt his intentions.

Liang Rong thought for a moment and said, "Four hundred taels, then. We still have to bribe the prefectural government and the military governor's government."

Yang Zhengshan once again realized his true intention and suddenly laughed, "Then I wish Brother Liang a prosperous business!"

The two smiled at each other, feeling very satisfied.

Only Wei Cen frowned slightly, not understanding why Yang Zhengshan accepted the money from Liang Rong.

This was obviously inconsistent with their previous plans.

Their previous plan was to use Yang Zhengshan as a gun, let Yang Zhengshan fight with the other party, and lure out the people and forces behind the other party.

But now Yang Zhengshan has actually joined the other side.

This~~
Then Liang Rong took out four silver notes worth one hundred taels and handed them to Yang Zhengshan, who accepted them calmly and went to the front yamen to get him a warrant.

The whole process went extremely smoothly, as if Yang Zhengshan did this kind of thing often.

Well, he does do this kind of thing often. Isn't it just stamping something?
Thinking back to the time when I was on the construction site, those who were stamping documents wanted to have a special stamping machine.

Now it’s just a matter of stamping the official seal, simple and easy.

However, after seeing Liang Rong off, Yang Zhengshan directly handed four silver bills to Wei Cen.

"What do you mean?" Wei Cen frowned and looked at Yang Zhengshan warily.

That vigilant look seemed to be saying 'Don't even think about bribing me'.

Yang Zhengshan said unhappily: "Put it away, and don't come back to me later!"

"Uh!" Wei Cen was startled, and then asked doubtfully: "What are you going to do?"

Yang Zhengshan stuffed the banknotes into his arms and said, "You want to use me as a shield, but I don't want to be a shield!"

"Instead of fighting them, it's better to join them and become an undercover agent."

"Given my status, they will definitely try their best to win me over, because without my cooperation, their goods cannot leave the customs!"

Wei Cen was still puzzled, "But even if they trust you, they may not tell you everything."

His worries were not unfounded. Cao Han and Xu Wanfu were both their people and had even cooperated with them for several years, but they didn't even know the existence of Heiya Village.

If Yang Zhengshan joined them and became an undercover agent, the result would probably be the same.

Yang Zhengshan turned around and walked back to the reception hall, saying, "In fact, you have almost finished your investigation. You have already found all the people involved in Anyuanzhou City, but what you want now is the evidence about Prince Qing's Mansion."

"And if we want to find evidence about Prince Qing's Mansion, we need to force Prince Qing's Mansion to come forward."

"This is definitely not possible in a short period of time, because you have already alerted the enemy when you captured Cao Han."

"So what we have to do now is to let them relax their guard, wait until they trust me and feel that they can continue to make money and count money as before."

Wei Cen pondered for a moment and said, "But if this happens, they will send a large amount of supplies to the Hu tribe. Although Lord Liang has dealt a heavy blow to the Donghai Hu tribe before, it is inevitable that the Donghai Hu tribe will revive again."

According to their investigation, the amount of supplies transported from Anyuan City to the outside of the Great Wall was not a small amount, enough to feed an army of 100,000.

The reason why the Donghai Hu tribe has been able to rise so quickly in recent years is because they provided various supplies.

Yang Zhengshan chuckled, "Of course we can't let them deliver supplies to the Hu people!!"

"Then you still want to join them?" Wei Cen was a little dissatisfied.

Yang Zhengshan glanced at him, then picked up the tea and drank it. "We can't stop them in Anyuanzhou City, but what about outside the border?"

"With Eunuch Lu's status, it should be no problem for you to let the soldiers of Chongshan Town go out for patrol!" "As long as they leave the border, we will kill them!"

"Not just them, but also the Hu people who traded with them!"

"Once or twice is not a problem. If it happens more than once, they will definitely get anxious. Then they will have no choice but to go find their real master."

There are only two possible situations now. One is that the Prince Qing's Mansion was not involved in this matter, so the Secret Guards could not find any evidence. The second is that the Prince Qing's Mansion hid too deeply and almost cut off its connection with this matter.

If it is the second case, there will be a very key person here, but it is still unclear who this person is.

If the Secret Guards want to find evidence related to Prince Qing's Mansion, they must first identify this person.

But how to identify this person?
That naturally means forcing this person to come out.

If this source of income were cut off, the people behind it would probably become restless.

In addition to this purpose, Yang Zhengshan mainly did not want to be used as a gun by others.

Once he became the vanguard of the Secret Guards, the other side would definitely kill him first. He didn't think he could be absolutely safe.

And once things get out of control, the other party will use every possible means, and he and everyone in the Yang family will face life threats.

Yang Zhengshan naturally did not want to put himself in danger, so he thought of such a method, which would not only force the other party out, but also give Lu Hua an explanation.

After Wei Cen heard what Yang Zhengshan said, his eyes were filled with inexplicable emotions.

"I need to report this matter to the Admiral!"

"Well, I think Eunuch Lu will agree!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

Wei Cen nodded, said nothing more, turned around and left the reception hall.

……

Wei Cen acted quickly and brought back Lu Hua's reply the next day.

As Yang Zhengshan said, Lu Hua agreed to his proposal.

This is normal. If Yang Zhengshan was just a garrison, Lu Hua would definitely not care about what he thinks. However, there is Zhou Lan behind Yang Zhengshan, and he had promised Zhou Lan that he would try his best to save Yang Zhengshan's life.

In addition, the plan proposed by Yang Zhengshan was very good, so Lu Hua could not find any reason to refuse.

With Lu Hua's consent, the rest of the things became much simpler.

As for Liang Rong, he only needs to issue the warrant and he doesn't need to do anything else.

As for Lu Hua, there was even less need for him to do anything. The Zhenbiao Battalion would naturally be responsible for the interception and killing outside the border. Only the Zhenbiao Battalion could do such a thing.

In this way, Yang Zhengshan was somewhat out of the matter.

Of course, he was not really staying out of the matter. Wei Cen was still by his side, and Liang Rong and others were also in Anyuanzhou City. The key to this matter was still in Anyuanzhou City.

Now is at most the calm before the storm. When the storm comes, Yang Zhengshan will still be the vanguard and will still be the first to bear the brunt.

The only good thing is that there is still some time before the storm comes, and this period of time is the time Yang Zhengshan has to prepare.

His top priority was to train the garrison battalion into an elite force.

With soldiers in hand, there is nothing to worry about.

As long as he can control the garrison camp and train it into an elite force, he can deal with it calmly no matter what happens next.

Winter is not suitable for military training, but time is tight, so Yang Zhengshan had to let his soldiers suffer a little more.

He spent two days writing a training plan.

That night, after Yang Zhengshan finished his dinner, he revised the military training plan in the study room in the main courtyard.

When it comes to training troops, he is quite experienced.

However, there are more things to pay attention to when training troops in winter, so he needs to consider more.

Just as Yang Zhengshan was looking at the training plan, Yu Qingyi stood outside the door, hesitating for a long time before knocking on the door.

"Come in!"

Yang Zhengshan said without raising his head.

"I pay my respects to you, my Lord!"

"Well, is something wrong?"

Yu Qingyi lowered her head and said softly, "I would like to ask you for a favor."

In the martial arts world, she is the leader of the Tianqing Sword Sect who is respected and admired by many people, but here she is just a common woman.

This is the difference between the people and the officials.

Unless her cultivation can reach the innate realm, she can only be humble and subservient in the face of power.

Yang Zhengshan raised his head and looked at her, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Unlike two days ago, Yu Qingyi's injuries have almost healed now. Her pale face has turned rosy and she looks brighter.

Beauty!

And she is a mature beauty.

If this happened in the previous life, she would be a typical queen.

Speaking of which, Yang Zhengshan hasn't paid too much attention to this person in the past two days. After all, he has a lot of things to do and has no time to care about Yu Qingyi.

He had only one request for Yu Qingyi, which was to stay in the yard obediently.
