"It turns out that Zheng Shoubei was recommended by Pei Xun. In that case, Zheng Shoubei has nothing to worry about." Huang An smiled and looked at Zheng Shoubei on the side.

Only then did he understand in his heart that the other party was able to go to Lingqiu to serve as a guard because of his relationship with Pei Hong, the censor of Datong.

"How can I not be worried?" Zheng Shoubei patted the back of his hand several times in distress and said, "Where is Lingqiu? It's not too much to say it's a den of thieves. I'm afraid I won't wait until the evidence of the tiger-character flag is collected."

This life has been lost."

His face turned green when he thought about going to Lingqiu to take office and facing a man-eating tiger like Hu Zi Qi.

Huang An said with relief: "I don't need to tell you what the imperial court's attitude towards the tiger-character flag is now. I believe you also know. With the imperial court's backing, you have nothing to fear!"

"The imperial court is far away and cannot quench the near thirst. If the tiger character flag really wants to do something to the subordinates, the imperial court is beyond its reach." Zheng Shoubei shook his head in distress.

It seemed that going to Lingqiu would cost him his life.

Huang An looked at the other party. Unexpectedly, the other party's guard had not yet gone to Lingqiu to take up the post, so he said: "When you go to Lingqiu, you won't be asked to do anything right away. You can guard your own three-acre land, and you can pretend you don't know anything else.

, it won’t be too late for you to do something when the court takes action.”

"My subordinates also want to do this, but Pei Xunjian can't explain it to him!" Zheng Shoubei looked bitter.

Huang An smiled softly after hearing this and said disapprovingly: "Brother, you might as well think about how long Pei Xunjian can stay in Datong? Once he returns to Beijing, Xunjian Yushi will become an ordinary censor.

.”

After saying that, he picked up the tureen and took a sip of the tea inside.

"This is not good!" Zheng Shoubei looked hesitant.

Huang An leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and said calmly: "Nothing is more important than your own life. Of course, if Zheng Shoubei has other ideas, just treat it as if I didn't say it."

"No, no, no, General Huang's words make sense." Zheng Shoubei said hurriedly, fearing that Huang An might misunderstand something.

After taking a sip of tea, Huang An put down the tureen in his hand, pointed at the tea cup next to Zheng Shoubei, and said: "Zheng Shoubei, drink tea! After a while, the tea will be cold and hurt your stomach."

"Hey, drink tea, drink tea." Zheng Shoubei nodded in agreement, holding the teacup in his hand, wondering if the way Huang An pointed out was feasible.

Compared to going to Lingqiu as a garrison and staying in Tiancheng Guard as a member of a thousand households, not only did he get promoted, but he also gained much more power.

Of course, he knew in his heart that if it weren't for Lingqiu being the home of the Tiger Flag, he wouldn't be able to take the position of guard at Lingqiu. There are many people who want to seize such a good job.

A large part of the reason why he is able to become a guard at Lingqiu now is because he led troops to chase down the tiger-shaped flag and caught the attention of some big shots in Datong, so he got such an opportunity.

Huang An looked at Zheng Shoubei, whose expression had changed several times, and said: "Whatever the imperial court asked Datong to do, Zheng Shoubei could have followed suit when he went to Lingqiu. As for searching for evidence of the tiger-character flag, it is not important at all. The imperial court has known about the tiger-character flag since then.

Regarding the matter of the flag being on the grassland, the Tiger-Charactered Flag was no longer tolerated by the imperial court. The reason why it did not take action immediately was only because there were slave thieves in Liaodong to contain it. When the imperial court calmed down, the Tiger-Charactered Flag would be destroyed."

"The general means that I don't need to collect evidence of Tiger Flag's crime, I just need to wait patiently." Zheng Shoubei said tentatively.

Huang An nodded lightly and said: "Only a censor like Pei Xun, who is strict in doing things, would think about searching for any evidence. In the eyes of the imperial court, Tiger Character Banner has long been unforgivable. Otherwise, the imperial court, you

Why do you think we need to expand the border army camps in Xuanfu and Datong?"

"I understand." Zheng Shoubei suddenly felt enlightened.

I used to think that when I took up my post in Lingqiu, I wouldn't be able to go to the superiors unless I found some evidence of the Tiger-Character Banner. But now after listening to Huang An's words, I feel that I don't need to do anything against the Tiger-Character Banner forces in Lingqiu.

In this way, his safety in Lingqiu is also greatly guaranteed.

Huang An added at this time: "The two thousand households in the Lingqiu garrison camp, ranging from Qianhu to ordinary small banners, even if they are not members of the Tiger Flag, they are closely related to the Tiger Flag, so Zheng Shoubei arrived

After taking office, it is best to sort out the troops and horses guarding the camp."

These words could be said to have broken out his heart.

After all, he had spent some time in the position of guarding Lingqiu and knew what it was like to guard the camp, and he didn't want Zheng Shoubei to make the same mistake as him.

This is not because of the close relationship between him and Zheng Shoubei, but simply because of the deep hatred between the Huang family and Tiger Flag.

When the Tiger Character Flag was not yet called the Tiger Character Flag, it was just a group of bandits who fled to Datong and robbed the food in his father-in-law's house. Later, he chased and suppressed the bandits under the orders of the commander of the Tiancheng Guard.

Later, he became the Lingqiu garrison, but Liu Heng of the Tiger Character Banner used tricks to remove him from the position of Lingqiu garrison and suppressed the captives, and became a guard in name only.

In the whole of Datong, apart from him, I'm afraid there is no one else who has so many grievances with Tiger Flag.

"General Huang's advice to me, I will definitely keep it in mind. If I have the opportunity, I will repay you." Zheng Shoubei expressed his gratitude towards Huang An and bowed his hand.

Now he just felt that his trip to Xinpingbao was the right one.

Huang An waved his hand gently and said with a smile: "Zheng Shoubei is too polite. You and I are both officials in Datong, and we both work for the court. If Zheng Shoubei finds me, there is no reason for me to ignore him."

"General Huang's words can be said to mean that Xiaguan's heart is as warm as the sun. Recalling that when he and General Huang were officials together in Tianchengwei, Xiaguan had many quarrels with General Huang. Thinking about it now, Xiaguan is extremely ashamed.

"Zheng Shoubei covered his face with his sleeves and looked ashamed.

Huang An laughed when he heard this and said, "Okay, it's all over. Don't mention the little things anymore. You and I will have to get closer to each other in the future."

"Definitely, definitely." Zheng Shoubei clasped his fists.

At this time, servants came in from outside.

"Sir, the food has been prepared in the side hall. Madam sent a servant to ask you when you will come over for dinner." The servant asked respectfully.

Huang An's servant rushed in and said, "Go back and tell Madam that I want to accompany Zheng Shoubei and let Madam eat by herself. Then go and tell the chef and prepare a table of food and wine to send over."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." The servant bowed, took two steps back, turned and left.

As soon as the servants left, Zheng Shoubei said: "Xinpingbao is a good place. Merchants are prevalent here, especially after being managed by the Tiger Character Banner. It has become more and more prosperous. If you set up a trap according to the customs, you can receive a lot of business taxes.
