Chapter 112
Yang Xuan left the Governor's Office and had a road guide in his pocket. Yang Tian was at the door with loyalty. Seeing Yang Xuan's despair, he knew about it in his heart and did not dare to ask more.
When passing by the Nisi Office, Yang Xuan wanted to try his luck, so he gave a tael of silver to the doorman and submitted a post.
After a long stay, there was no movement in the gatehouse. Yang Xuan was a little impatient and urged him to ask about the gatehouse.
The doorman was quite impatient and said, "The door bag in our Niesi yamen is indeed a tael of silver, but recently Lord Nietai is too busy, and the people who look for him have broken the threshold. We also recommend guests to Nietai according to the height of the door bag. There are still a few people in front of you, so let's wait first."
Yang Xuan suppressed his anger and asked Yang Tian to take out two taels of silver for the doorman. The doorman had two taels of silver more than the doorman, and he smiled and said, "Young Master, wait a moment, and we will inform you immediately."
After a quarter of an hour, the concierge walked over with an angry look on his face and said, "Neidai is busy now, no one sees you."
Yang Xuan was about to argue, but the concierge said, "Above said, your case is too difficult, it involves foreigners, Yang Zhongwuhou, and Tiandihui. It is not easy to deal with! Our magistrate yamen cannot control this matter!"
Yang Xuan was furious and scolded: "The officials in charge of the provincial criminal name. You can't control it, so what are you doing!"
The concierge was not willing to be outdone and replied, "Hey. Don't think you are a young master, so we dare not do anything to you. We can't afford to offend foreigners, and we can't deal with you?"
Yang Tian also said to the point: "You accept our three or two door bags and give them back to us!"
The concierge was furious and greeted the yamen runners at the door, saying, "Your bag is all given to all brothers. Come and get it if you have the ability."
Seven or eight yamen runners came up like a ferocious spirit and stared at Yang Xuan, Yang Tian and his master and servant.
Yang Xuan felt the short gun on his waist. The hero did not suffer any loss. He hesitated for a moment and took Yang Tian away from the Niesi yamen.
More than a dozen litigants gathered outside the Nisi yamen. The so-called litigants were people who specialized in suing the people in the feudal era.
Seeing that Yang Xuan looked bad, several lawyers gathered over. A leading lawyer said:
"Master, when you first came, I told you that it is difficult to enter the Niesi yamen, the face is ugly, and the words are harsh. If you don't believe it, is it a loss to be a silence? What kind of lawsuit do you want to fight? Maybe I can still serve you?"
Yang Xuan said angrily: "I want to tell the people, will it work?"
The lawyer shook his head quickly and said with a smile: "Master, don't make me happy. There is a conflict between the people and the people, and the government always protects the people. Nowadays, any case involving the people is basically the winner..."
Yang Xuan knew that these lawyers could not help, so he stopped talking and took Yang Tian to a restaurant for dinner.
He was used to being too big and hungry, so he asked for a private room as soon as he entered the restaurant, ordered a table of good wine and food, and had a full meal with Yang Tian.
After dinner, the two had nowhere to go, so they had to return to the Sichuan Guild Hall. As soon as they reached the gate, the gatekeeper stopped him and cursed: "Where did it come from? You are not from Sichuan when you see that you are not from Sichuan. Our museum is full, so look for other places!"
Yang Xuan was furious. Before he was imprisoned, he was generous and liked to travel, and often returned to the guild in the middle of the night. For this reason, he gave the concierge a lot of benefits and was quite familiar with him.
The tiger falls into the sun and is bullied by a dog. Now, even a small guild hall concierge dares to look down on others?
Yang Xuan was about to have an attack, but saw the concierge winking at him desperately. Yang Xuan was puzzled, and the concierge whispered:
"Young Master, the official mission is here, you are sneaking at the door of your house. The person hasn't left yet, so you can run away!"
Yang Xuan was shocked. He thought that he had the care of the Guangdong Admiral, and even if he escaped from prison, he would not take it seriously. Who knew that the official officer came to him so soon.
Just then, an official heard something happening at the door and walked over.
Yang Xuan pretended to be calm and scolded the doorman: "I don't like your Sichuan Guild Hall yet! What a broken place!"
The official officer said to the concierge without any doubt:
"Old man, if the person surnamed Yang comes back, please inform us quickly. Not only the governor and the governor are staring at this matter, but even the Guangzhou General Muten in the banner camp is very concerned! If you can't catch him, you will be nice!"
Yang Xuan was shocked again. What does it have to do with the Guangzhou General after entering a world meeting?
He pretended to be calm and bowed to the official and said, "Brother, I don't know what mistake this person surnamed Yang has made, so I asked the governor and the general to care so much? If you have the chance, if we meet someone surnamed Yang, we will inform you in time."
The official consciously made a mistake. He was impatient in the face of Yang Xuan's questioning and said, "This matter is not your business, don't inquire."
Seeing this, Yang Xuan quickly took Yang Tian with him and quickly left the Sichuan Guild Hall.
The Guangzhou General belonged to the Eight Banners official rank, the same as the Governor General of Guangdong and Guangxi. However, the Guangzhou General could only be the Manchus, so his status was higher than that of the Governor General. The green camp soldiers in the province were subject to the control of the Guangzhou General.
The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty included the Eight Banners of Manchus, the Eight Banners of Hans, and the Eight Banners of Mongolia, with only more than 200,000 people. The Eight Banners troops were mainly stationed in large cities with close locations, and built individual inner cities in the big cities, called Mancheng and Banner Camp.
Yang Xuan was a white man, without any official position. Guangzhou General Muten is a first-rank official, so why did he suddenly pay attention to Yang Xuan?
Could it be because of his father's tragic death? Is it because of Mutern's attitude to stand up for his father? It doesn't look like that at all!
Yang Xuan couldn't figure it out.
Suddenly, a bold guess made him shudder.
His grandfather Yang Yuchun was a military general and was named Zhaoyong Hou. His disciples and former officials were everywhere. Famous generals during the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods, such as Yang Fang, Qi Shen, Wu Tinggang, Zhu Tingbiao, You Dongyun, etc., were all subordinates of Yang Yuchun.
Even if we look at the world, Hunan Admiral Xiang Rong led his army to suppress the Tiandihui Uprising; Guangdong Land Admiral Tao Yu supported the crisis in Guangzhou. Both of them were also supported by Yang Yuchun.
Uncle Yang Guozhen was appointed as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. It was extremely rare for the military ministers and sons to serve as the governors. Yang Yuchun and his son were also compared with Zhao Liangdong and Yue Zhongqi.
However, the Qing emperors were very careful of Han military officials.
Zhao Liangdong had the merits of pacifying Wu Sangui in Yunnan. His military achievements were concealed by the Manchu generals Tuhai, Zhangtai, and the Grand Secretary Mingzhu. Emperor Kangxi also accused him of being narrow-minded.
Yue Zhongqi entered Tibet and pacified Qinghai, but was impeached by Zhang Guangsi and Ortai, and was sentenced to "beheading" by the Ministry of Justice. (Later, he was changed to beheading the marquis of the Guanhou by Emperor Yongzheng, and fined 700,000 taels of silver.)
Looking back at my uncle Yang Guozhen. He was brave enough to take office, but it caused rumors. He was taken away from the Marquis of Zhaoyong and was dismissed from office.
It seems that it is very likely that Yang Yuchun's achievements are so great that he shocked the master, and the sect leader was full of old officials all over the world. The Qing emperor needed him to quell the rebellion, but now Yang Yuchun is dead, and he just happened to attack Yang Guozhen.
Yang Xuan participated in the Tiandi Association, providing an excellent excuse for his political opponent to overthrow Yang Guozhen and defeat the Yang family's forces!
Thinking of this, Yang Xuan shuddered. It was said that the officialdom was dangerous, and Yang Xuan truly realized it.
Grandfather Yang Yuchun fought hundreds of times in his life, and his tactics were changing. He often charged forward in the battle and was never injured. He was convinced by his reputation and was called "Hasa Anban". Emperor Jiaqing called him "Fu General".
When Yang Xuan was a child, he often stayed with his grandfather and heard many anecdotes about his grandfather. He knew that the reason why Yang Yuchun was rarely injured was not only because of his good luck, but also because he had the skills to control generals and his subordinates were willing to fight for him.
For example, Yang Fang was a famous general during the Daoguang period and participated in the First Opium War. Yang Yuchun first met Yang Fang and admired Yang Fang very much, so he recommended him to the general Fu Kang'an. The two of them were friends of common people and made an appointment to be brothers.
Yang Yuchun had the ability to control people, so the court naturally suspected him very much. Fortunately, Yang Yuchun was low-key and ended up having a good end.
But the many ignorant Manchu ministers in the court were able to understand the emperor's suspicion of the Han people and wanted to impeach the Yang family at all times to seek credit for the best.
Since the Daoguang period, Han people have sent officials to rise up, and the Manchus' power has faded. Important positions such as the Governor of Guangdong, Guangxi, Liangjiang, and Fujian and Zhejiang, which were traditionally held by the Manchus, have also begun to appear one after another.
Yang Guozhen was appointed as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and countless eyes were staring at him! Last time he impeached, Emperor Daoguang dismissed his marquis and allowed him to remain in office.
If you can do a lot of work on Yang Xuan this time, you will definitely be able to drive Yang Guozhen off the throne of governor.
If you get involved in the official battle, things will be complicated!
Yang Xuan was in a very depressed mood. Looking at the crowds coming and going on the street, he felt like he was homeless.
Where else can I go to in such a huge Guangzhou city? I can’t go back to the Sichuan Guild Hall.
Guangdong Admiral Tao Yu?
Judging from the morning meeting, Tao Yu was polite on the surface, but was actually guarded. Perhaps, he did not attack himself for Yang Yuchun's sake. Perhaps, he just couldn't figure out the situation and did not know the conspiracy of the Guangzhou General.
If Tao Yu knew that the Guangzhou General was struggling to investigate Yang Xuan, would he be so polite to him? Will he still lead him?
Maybe this road is Tao Yu’s trap!
Yang Tian is loyal and reliable.
In addition, who else can Yang Xuan ask for help? Perhaps, only the Tiandihui in the city is here.
Yang Xuan took Yang Tian to a secluded place and asked, "Is there any fineness and softness in the guild hall?"
Yang Tian said: "The silver notes are all on me. There are no valuables in the guild hall, only the master's spiritual position, the cigarettes, snuff bottles used during his lifetime, etc.."
Yang Xuan stared at Yang Tian and asked, "We have to avenge the master. The government can't count on it anymore. I am going to find the brothers of the Tiandihui and ask them to help with revenge. This is a murderous act. What are you willing to follow me? If you are afraid, I will give you some money and you will go back to your hometown in Sichuan first."
杨田挺直了腰杆,瞪大了眼睛说道:“少爷,自祖辈起,咱们两家就是过命的交情.我爷爷保护杨忠武侯,我保护少爷,这是我生来的义务.能为老爷报仇,我就是赴汤蹈火,也再所不辞.”
Yang Xuan patted Yang Tian on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, I am worthy of being a good man in our Yang family! In the future, we will share the wealth and share the same difficulties!"
Afterwards, Yang Xuan took Yang Tian to a silk shop, bought a coarse cloth gown, pretended to be a poor scholar, and walked quickly towards Renfa Pharmacy.
