Chapter 151: Something happened to the Yang family

Just after noon, Yang Qi's mansion began to become lively. In addition to Yang Qi, Yang Ji, Yang Zhao, Yang Zhu, Yang Chu and several elders, there were Yang Qi's son Yang Xuan, Yang Zhao's son Yang Xi and other 20 Yang family children gathered together. This is one of the rare gatherings in the Yang family in recent years. Unless they had no choice, the Yang family would not have such a unity scene.

The cause is very simple. Yang Ji, the second-ranked figure of the Yang family, was dismissed from his position as the Minister of Guanglu Temple in the Dong Yanguang case. This is the most important setback since the Yang family became rich. Everyone felt urgent pressure. This is someone plotting against the Yang family behind their backs. This time it is Yang Ji, and next time it is very likely that he will be himself.

In the middle hall, dozens of angry Yang family children sat according to their generation, and everyone was talking and expressing their thoughts.

"Listen to everyone! Although I was dismissed, the Yang family cannot decline because of this. In order to find out who was plotting against the Yang family behind the scenes, we must find out the real murderer who killed Dong Yanguang. Otherwise, not only will I, Yang Ji, be dismissed for free, but the Yang family will also leave a huge hidden danger."

Yang Ji was so excited that his pain of being dismissed and his depression of being forced to hand over money both broke out at this moment. He was unwilling to give people money to eliminate disasters. This is an eternal truth. Everyone can benefit others, but why can't it be with him?

He was dissatisfied. Why was Yang Zhao promoted to Jiannan Jiedushi in the case of Dong Yanguang, but he was dismissed from his official position? It was so unfair to the emperor. But Yang Ji never dreamed that Yang Zhao would play a role behind his demotion.

"Second brother, calm down and I'll say a few words."

Yang Qi waved his hand majesticly. He was the eldest brother of the Yang family and the informal patriarch of the Yang family. At least he thought so that he needed to maintain his authority at all times. In fact, there was an elder who was a senior official in the Yang family, Yang Xuanzhu, the Minister of the Honglu Temple. He was Yang Guifei's uncle. Because of his poor health, he returned to his hometown to recuperate. Yang Qi was most worried that once his uncle came back, the position of patriarch might not be his turn.

"Listen to me, our Yang family is noble because of the imperial concubine. The trees are prominent in the forest and the wind will destroy them. I don't know how many people in the Tang Dynasty are jealous of us and slandering us. All kinds of rumors and slander are emerging one after another. We are not afraid of these. The key is that we cannot be in chaos within us. We must unite. We must have a sufficiently authoritative family association. This family association can rule on all the affairs of the Yang family. The reason why famous families have long been because their family concepts are long-standing. Everyone will do their best to safeguard the interests of the family and obey the orders of the patriarch. Our Yang family should do the same."

"Brother, let's talk about the patriarch in the future! Now I'm talking about Dong Yanguang."

Yang Ji interrupted Yang Qi's speech unhappily. This elder brother dreamed of being the patriarch, so wake up first!

Yang Qi's thoughts were disrupted. He opened his mouth, but he didn't know where Dong Yanguang's incident began. He had never thought about it at all.

The lobby was silent. Yang Zhao sat in the third place and kept drinking tea quietly. His heart was full of contempt. A group of idiots actually wanted to overthrow the concluding Dong Yanguang case. Don’t they know what the purpose of the Supreme Master’s use of tough measures to suppress the Dong Yanguang case? The ruling was full of loopholes, but who dared to say a word? Today’s court meeting, there was a word about Dong Yanguang? Humph! He kept saying that he wanted to grow the Yang family, but when the Supreme Master dismissed Yang Ji for the growth of the Yang family, they all jumped up like they were stepped on their tails. According to their thoughts, the Yang family wanted to be prime ministers. This is the favor of the Yang family. They are really a group of idiots.

Yang Zhao didn't say anything, and Yang Zhu, who was sitting at Yang Zhao's hand, spoke. Yang Zhu was Yang's brother and served as the censor. He was young and flexible. He stood up and said, "There are many theories in the court, one was killed by Geshuhan, and the other was killed by Li Qing'an. But no matter which statement, we have no evidence. The key is evidence. As long as we find evidence, we can report to the emperor to punish this person's crime, and even the second brother can reenter the court. I suggest everyone think broadly and think about what other possibilities are there?"

"Can Dong Yanguang commit suicide because of fear of crime?" A child of the Yang family shouted.

"It's impossible to commit suicide, how could there be more than twenty followers die together?" Another refuted him.

"Will it be killed by Dong Yanguang's ordinary enemies? He has some unknown secrets?"

Everyone was talking and shouting.

"Enough!" Yang Huahua finally couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up and shouted: "Shut up all of you!"

The lobby suddenly became quiet, and all eyes were cast at her. Yang Huahua said calmly: "I have never seen anyone like you who do things, just say nothing."

Yang Qi coughed and said in a lengthened voice: "Three sisters, aren't everyone discussing?"

"I just talked about it, just stared at Dong Yanguang. The second brother was dismissed from his post because of taking bribes. He also asked for love to seek the emperor. He discussed what Dong Yanguang did here. Could it be that Dong Yanguang could still crawl out of the coffin to help you get promoted?"

Yang Jian said a little embarrassedly: "Third sister, it doesn't matter whether I'm promoted or not. What's important is to find out who is behind our Yang family. The real murderer who killed Dong Yanguang is the key, so we are discussing it."

Yang Huahua slowly walked out and sneered: "Instead of gathering here to talk too much, it is better to do it separately."

She pointed to Yang Xi and Yang Xuan and said, "You two often go to brothels and restaurants. You are responsible for going to Chang'an City to inquire about the news. Most of the official news is fake, and it is not as reliable as the news from the people."

"Third brother, and you."

Yang Huahua pointed at Yang Zhao again, and Yang Zhao immediately stood up and smiled and said, "Three sister, please give me instructions."

"Dong Yanguang is not a child of a major family, how can he not have a backstage? The third brother is well-known in the court, so he will ask who his backstage is? Starting from his backstage, you can't make any mistakes."

Yang Huahua pointed and shouted, and in a moment he assigned all the tasks. Some juniors were tired of holding meetings like this, and they all agreed loudly and slipped out of the mansion first. Yang Zhao also said goodbye with a smile and took a step forward.

Seeing that most of the people ran away, Yang Qi's face was extremely gloomy and snorted: "Sister Three has assigned us all, so what are you doing?"

Yang Huahua smiled slowly and said, "It's me! I'll go to the emperor to ask for information, maybe the emperor will know a little clue."

Just when the Yang family gathered, Li Qingan also returned to Gao Lishi's mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, dozens of subordinates rushed forward and surrounded him to congratulate him in a lingering manner.

"General, congratulations on the promotion."

"General, we are going to Beiting too!"

"Jingdust! The general has finally come forward."

Everyone was full of joy. Li Qing'an became the governor of Beiting, which means that their good days were coming. Li Qing'an smiled and waved his hand and said, "Go and let the brothers gather together, I have something to announce."

Several soldiers ran towards the courtyard. After a moment, more than 200 Li Qing'an's subordinates gathered in the courtyard. Everyone in the courtyard whispered, guessing that Li Qing'an would announce it.

Li Qing'an stood on a big rock, waved his hand and smiled, "I'll ask first, do you have any of you brothers from Beiting?"

After a while, a Tang army raised their hands and said, "General, my family is in Beiting Luntai, where both my parents and brother are."

Li Qing'an knew this person named Han Yue, who was also a veteran of Anxi scout camp, and nodded and smiled: "Okay! I'll talk to you later. Brothers, calm down first."

The yard became quiet, and Li Qing'an continued: "This morning, I was officially named Deputy Envoy of Beiting Jiedu, and the envoy was Li Xiangguo. I was actually in charge of Beiting's military and political affairs. After the official dispatch of the Ministry of War, I will go to Beiting to take office. You all came out of the dead with me. Naturally, I will not treat everyone poorly, but I don't want to force it. Those who are willing to go to Beiting together, we will go to Beiting to guard the border and open up our own future. If you don't want to go, I will never force you. I will reward you with a lot of money and allow you to leave your military and live an ordinary life. If you don't want to go now, you can raise your hand."

After a moment, a young Jiang Dubing in the back row raised his hand timidly, and everyone glared at him: "Shiyilang, are you going to betray the general?"

The Tang Bing, named Shiyilang, suddenly shed tears. He ran out of the crowd, knelt down in front of Li Qing'an, and cried in a low voice: "General, I don't want to leave everyone, but my brother has been killed, and there is still a young girl in the family. My mother is old and misses her hometown Jiangdu. She doesn't want to go to Anxi. She is honest and loyal and filial, so I beg the general to forgive her."

Li Qingan quickly supported him and said with a smile: "Stop talking. We all saw your mother that day. If you want to be filial to your mother, this is of course the most important thing. Our brothers fight for a fight. I will reward you with 200 taels of silver. After the imperial reward is over, I will help you get out of military status and say hello to the prefect of Yangzhou to take care of you. Just take your mother and sister back to your hometown to live a good life!"

Shiyilang knelt on the ground and cried in silence. All Tang soldiers looked at him silently, their eyes full of sadness. At this time, Li Qing'an said to everyone: "I hope everyone will move their family to Beiting. I will give everyone land and houses. This time the court rewarded me with 5,000 taels of silver and 3,000 pieces of silk. I will not ask for a penny of this money, and will all be distributed to everyone. In short, I will follow me, Li Qing'an, and I will never treat you badly!"

There was a lot of applause in the yard, and Nan Jiyun said loudly: "General, we don't want to reward you. You should give the reward to the brothers who fell! Their family needs it even more."

"Yes! General, let's not give rewards to the fallen brothers!"

Li Qingan waved his hand and smiled, "Brothers who died, I will make other arrangements. I will never let them be uneasy in the nine springs. Silver and silk will be delivered in the afternoon. General Nan will distribute it to everyone and let everyone have a good time for the Spring Festival."

The yard cheered suddenly, and when everyone dispersed, Li Qingan explained to Nan Jiyun a few words, and then quickly walked to the yard gate. Butler Luo had been waiting here for a long time.

"What's up?"

"General Li, the little girl at the door is here again, she refuses to come in."

"It's the last time that face looks like it."

"I see."

Li Qingan smiled and walked towards the gate. Naturally, Mingzhu came.

At the gate, Mingzhu was kicking a stone with her hands behind her back, looking a little restless. Her face had been washed away with blood and makeup, her hair was combed, her skin was as white as jade, and her eyebrows were beautiful and charming.

"Mingzhu, what did you find?"

"Brother Li, do you have time in the afternoon?"

"What do you tell me first?"

"No! Let me tell you first there is no time?"

Li Qingan pinched her nose and smiled, "If you have time, tell me! What's the matter?"
