Yue Lingshuang finally surrendered. He couldn't afford to offend the governor, and he didn't want to offend the new top scorer.

He now understands that the governor is playing tricks on him. The new top scorer is clearly supporting his father. Chen Da even lied to him that Yang Lin's son is just the same name as the new top scorer!

Damn, I almost got used to a gun.

He is a magistrate, and it doesn't matter if he bullies an ordinary merchant. However, if this merchant is the father of the new top scorer, it would be different. If he bullies others and seeks death, he even brought the new top scorer to the Jinyiwei.

If this matter comes to the emperor, he will be finished.

Forget it, I can't afford to mess with it, so hurry up and hide.

As soon as he left the gate of the Yang family courtyard, he said to Wu Fengchun: "Go and inform all the gentry, merchants, farmers, and if they have food, they will sell it to Yang Lin, hurry up."

ah!

Wu Fengchun said in a daze: "This, sir, this new top scorer seems to be not as good as the governor. What should I do if the governor blames him?"

Yue Lingshuang said angrily: "You care who is older or younger, and what are you involved in fighting with the gods? If the governor wants to blame him, isn't there a new top student here? It's all our business!"

By the way, what's going on with Chen Da?

Didn’t he know that Yang Cong was supported by Yangming?

Didn’t he know that Yang Cong was going to get married to the eldest lady of the Lu family?

Yang Cong is so tough in the backstage, he is still provoking him. Does he really think he is a god?

He naturally knew how tough Yang Cong's backstage was. If it was okay, he wouldn't provoke Yang Cong.

However, by chance, he had to argue with Yang Cong.

This happened so coincidental, and there were many reasons why he and Yang Cong had a dispute.

First, the first and most important reason was that he defected to Xia Yan. Before Yang Cong had participated in the imperial examination, he defected to Xia Yan.

Because Zhang Cong had already submitted his resignation to Jiajing at that time, it was almost a foregone conclusion that Xia Yan succeeded as the chief minister of the cabinet. He had been in the governor for several years, but there was no movement. Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of Xia Yan's opportunity to climb up.

However, at the beginning, he did not want to deal with Yang Cong, and he did not have this idea until Yang Cong's top scorer in high school.

By chance, during the time when Yang Cong was the top scorer in high school, his son Chen Neng happened to go to Shanxi to see him.

At that time, I heard that Yang Cong was the top scorer in high school, Chen Neng was simply jealous, and those who were jealous were generally unreasonable. Even so, Chen Neng did not think about why he could not pass the Juren and the Jinshi, but he was a little immersed in his mind to take revenge on Yang Cong.

As a result, he asked for a while and found out good news. Yang Cong's father Yang Lin raised food and grass in Shanxi to exchange for salt.

Chen Neng naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. After hearing the news, he pestered Chen Da and asked his father to deal with Yang Lin and teach Yang Cong a lesson.

Chen Da is not a naughty man. He is unhappy that his son has been bullied, but he will not take revenge on a new top scorer in the subject.

He also had some understanding of Yang Cong's background. If he wanted him to take action alone, he would not only not be able to take revenge on Yang Cong, but also be bitten by Yang Cong.

Just at this time, news came from the capital that the Yangming lineage was competing with their Xia Yan party for the position of Minister of Revenue in Nanjing. Yang Cong was a rising star in the Yangming lineage. He believed that Xia Yan must be interested in suppressing it, so he took the opportunity to write a letter to Xia Yan, hoping that Xia Yan would take action and help deal with Yang Cong.

By chance, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing was taken away by the Yangming lineage. Xia Yan was also angry. When he saw Chen Da’s letter, he immediately became vengeful.

OK, Yang Cong, the new top student, is actually in the salt business.

Xia Yan is a master of internal strife. He saw the opportunity at a glance. As long as the operation is done properly, the emperor would definitely think that the Yangming lineage was using power for personal gain and was preparing to use salt to attract money.

He naturally would not miss such an opportunity, so he immediately replied and fully supported Chen Da to deal with Yang Cong.

When Chen Da saw that Xia Yan said this, he naturally took action without hesitation.

Yue Lingshuang read this correctly. It was indeed the gods fighting, but he made a mistake. It was not the god Chen Da who fought with Yang Cong, but Xia Yan, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet!

Chen Da was also kept in the dark. He only thought that Xia Yan was disliked by the Yangming lineage, so he followed the situation and helped him to deal with Yang Cong, the rising new top student in the Yangming lineage. However, he did not know that Xia Yan's purpose was to use this matter to implicate the Yangming lineage and launch an attack on the Yangming lineage as a whole.

Even Yang Cong didn't even know that Xia Yan's plan was involved in this matter, and he just thought that he was facing a governor.

To be honest, he is not afraid of the governor Chen Da at this moment. He thought that if Chen Da was detained for deducting military rations and disrupting the morale of the army, he could not withstand it.

Can Chen Da bear this charge?

Chen Da is afraid of nothing, he has Xia Yan behind him.

Sani Nai, who are you scared with the Jinyiwei?

Yue Lingshuang is timid and afraid, but no one else is afraid.

After receiving the news, he went directly to the King of Jin's mansion and had a secret discussion with King Jian of Jin Zhu Xinjun.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Lin encountered trouble again. He originally had a good harvest of grain, but, within a day, the local tyrants and gentry in Xinzhou changed their minds again. They said, "I'm sorry, I don't have any food, you can buy it from another family!"

Just kidding, which one can I find?

At this moment, the common people don’t have much land in their hands, and they are too full to eat. How much grain can they be evenly sold to him? The grain mainly has to be bought by the local tyrants, otherwise they would not get all 5,000 stones of grain.

When Yang Cong received the news, he immediately became popular. He knew that this must be the one who did it.

Sani was so arrogant that the magistrate and the magistrate were both cowardly. You rich and gentry dared to be honest and live impatiently.

He immediately took the Jinyiwei to surround the Chang's courtyard, the largest local tyrant in Dingxiang.

The Chang family is not a family of officials, and there has never been a Juren. The current head of the family, Mr. Chang, is just a scholar. He doesn't believe it anymore. A little scholar dares to be unable to compete with him, the new top student.

He led the Jinyiwei into the Chang's courtyard and headed straight to the main house lobby.

Unexpectedly, Chang Li, the old man of the Chang family, was sitting in the lobby with no sign of panic.

Old guy, you are afraid you don’t know how many eyes Mr. Ma has. If you don’t give you rich gentry a little bit of excellence, you will never be able to do the salt in the town of Shanxi in the future.

Yang Cong came to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, so he naturally would not be polite, and he didn't need to be polite to a scholar.

He said coldly as he entered the door: "Old guy, what do you mean? If you don't sell food, do you want the border troops to lack food and shake the morale of the army?"

Chang Li stood up calmly and bowed: "Zhuangyuan Gong, the student cannot bear this crime. It's not that the student doesn't want to sell grain, but the family really has no surplus grain. I hope the prince will forgive me."

It's rough, dare to be careless with me.

Yang Cong immediately shouted: "Chen Lian, send someone to search!"

Chen Lian waved his hand without hesitation, and the Jinyiwei behind him quickly spread out and searched the Chang family compound.

Soon, a Jinyiwei ran in and bowed and said loudly: "Report, sir, I found two ten thousand stone warehouses in the backyard, one of which was full, and the other had a lot of food in it."

Yang Cong immediately glared at Chang Li and shouted coldly: "Is this called no food?"
Chapter completed!
