Chapter 521 Do you know my background?

After getting angry with Yang Yunyan and Jiang He, Yang Zhengshan called Jiang Miao closer the next day and wanted to ask her opinion.

In the study, Jiang Miaofeng, dressed in a red dress, burst in and said, "Grandpa, look for Miao'er!"

The little girl is dressed in red, as pretty as a flower, and Yang Yunyan's look can be seen between her eyebrows.

Looking at the little girl, Yang Zhengshan smiled lovingly and said, "Girl, you walk as if someone is chasing you!"

"Grandpa is looking for me, so of course I have to hurry up!" Jiang Miaoqiao smiled brightly and came to Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan reached out and rubbed the little girl's head, "Miao'er has grown up!"

Jiang Miao smiled happily, but her eyes fell on the fruit plate on the desk, "Grandpa, is this for Miao'er?"

There are red and purple grapes in the fruit plate, which look very delicious. Jiang Miao likes to eat grapes the most. This is probably because Yang Zhengshan often stuffed grapes into her mouth when she was a child.

"Well, eat it!" Yang Zhengshan pushed the fruit plate in front of Jiang Miao.

Jiang Miao sat down, picked up the grapes and started eating them.

"Miao'er, what do you think of your Master An?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

According to seniority, Jiang Miao would call An Chenhui uncle. If the two of them got married, there would be a slight seniority gap, but this would not be a big problem.

"Uncle An?" Jiang Miao tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Uncle An is very good."

This girl probably doesn't understand the relationship between men and women. In her mind, she probably thinks that everyone in the family is very nice.

"Then are you willing to marry your Uncle An?" Yang Zhengshan asked directly without mincing words.

"Marry Master An!" Jiang Miao looked confused, "Why did Miaoer marry Master An?"

"Marry a man and a woman. Miao'er has grown up and is about to get married!" Yang Zhengshan said.

Jiang Miao put down the grapes in her hands and looked at Yang Zhengshan aggrievedly, "Grandpa, I want to stay with grandpa all the time."

Yang Zhengshan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"What are you talking about? Your grandpa doesn't want you to be by his side all the time. Besides, you can stay with grandpa even if you get married!"

He rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Your Uncle An is in Kyoto. Whenever you miss grandpa, you can come over to see grandpa anytime."

Jiang Miao tilted her head and thought about it. She was not a child who didn't understand anything. After all, she was already fourteen years old. She knew that she would get married in two years. After all, the Yang family had done a lot of marriages in recent years. .

She just couldn't let go of her grandfather, maybe because she grew up in the Yang family, or maybe because Yang Zhengshan's grandfather was so kind, which made her the closest to Yang Zhengshan, even closer than Yang Yunyan and Jiang He.

"Uncle An is very good. As long as grandpa thinks Miao'er can marry Uncle An, then Miao'er will marry her," Jiang Miao said.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and looked at the little girl. This girl was a smart child, because she knew that she would not choose, and she also knew that Yang Zhengshan would not harm her.

Like Yang Wanqing, it only added a lot of trouble to herself.

"Well, let grandpa make the decision on this matter. If your uncle An dares to betray you in the future, grandpa will definitely not let him go!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

Although he said this, he knew in his heart that it would all happen in the future.

If one day An Chenhui betrays Jiang Miao, even if An Chenhui is punished, Jiang Miao will suffer the grievances he deserves and his heart will be hurt.

But who can guarantee that everything will go as planned in the future?

All he can do is try his best to find a good man for his children.

At least looking at it now, An Chenhui is a good choice.

After talking to Jiang Miao, Yang Zhengshan found An Chenhui again and told him about the matter.

Before Yang Zhengshan could finish the matter, An Chenhui blushed and sweatdropped on his forehead.

Yang Zhengshan looked at him with a smile, "What do you think about this matter?"

"Disciple, it's all up to the master!" An Chenhui said.

"Then do you like Miao'er?" Yang Zhengshan stared at him.

He lowered his head, even his neck turned red, "I like it!"

"..."

Yang Zhengshan stared at him, "Don't you think you have evil intentions towards Miao'er already?"

"No, no, no~~" An Chenhui waved his hands in denial.

Seeing his appearance, Yang Zhengshan already knew in his heart that this boy might have been interested in Miao'er for a long time.

Yes, that’s fine, it saves the worry.

After the matter was settled, Yang Zhengshan told An Yuxing that he didn't need to worry about the rest. When the time comes, An Chenhui's parents will come to Beijing to discuss marriage with the Yang family, and the Yang family will definitely Mainly Jiang He and Yang Yunyan.

In contrast, Yang Qingwan and Qu Shaogong are more worrying.

Although the two of them are interested in being a concubine, they seem to have never expressed it, and they don't know when they will be able to achieve success.

As for the others, Yang Zhengshan is too lazy to worry about it, let Yang Mingcheng and Wang worry about it.

The Yang family still has two children who should be married. Yang Chengxian is fifteen years old this year, and Yang Wanting is fourteen years old. Their marriage should also be put on the agenda.

…

Yuzhou City.

Lin Zhan has been in office in Yuzhou for more than a month. With his help from many sources, all the pirates in Yuzhou have been wiped out, and peace has gradually returned to Yuzhou. However, due to the chaos caused by the pirates, Yuzhou suffered numerous casualties and hundreds of businesses were waiting to be prospered.

In Yuzhou City, Lin Zhan was busy rebuilding the Zhizhou Yamen. Although many people suffered, the Zhizhou Yamen still had to be built.

Lin Zhan stood in front of the burned-down government office and watched as a group of civilians loaded the ashes into cars and took them away.

At this moment, Zhang Yu, the colleague, hurriedly came over and said, "Sir, it's not good, the thieves from the Haizhou Guard are here to fight for food and wages!"

"A fight about food and wages?" Lin Zhan frowned slightly, "Where is Wang De'an?"

Wang De'an is the commander of the Haizhou Guard. After receiving the official document asking for help, Wang De'an led two thousand soldiers into Yuzhou. However, after this guy came to Yuzhou, he did not go to wipe out the Haizhou bandits. Instead, he stayed outside Yuzhou City. , and also talked about protecting the state city.

Most of the remaining small-scale pirates in Yuzhou were wiped out by the people of Haizhou Shangwu Division.

"Wang De'an isn't here!" Zhang Yu said.

"Where are they arguing about food and wages?" Lin Zhan asked.

"Over there in the official warehouse." Zhang Yu said.

Lin Zhan looked a little ugly. These guys didn't do anything since they arrived, and now they actually have the nerve to ask for food and salary from him.

He walked quickly towards the official warehouse with a cold face.

When he arrived at the official warehouse, he found that there were three to four hundred soldiers surrounding the gate of the official warehouse.

This official warehouse is the last grain of Zhizhou Yamen. Lin Zhan hopes to use this grain to build the framework of Zhizhou Yamen first.

"Are you going to starve us to death? Let us destroy the pirates, but you won't give us food or wages!"

"That's right, we won't even give you food or salary. Where is Master Zhizhou? Let him come out and give us an explanation!"

"We want an explanation!"

"Let him out!"

A group of soldiers were noisy and shouting, and the yamen servants could only close the door of the official warehouse and did not dare to open the door.

Lin Zhan looked at this scene with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Master Zhang, go and ask Master Yu to come over!" he ordered.

The Master Yu he spoke of was Yu Shengze, a member of Qianhu, Haizhou Shangwu Division. Yu Shengze made the greatest contribution to the annihilation of the pirates in Yuzhou this time.

"Yes, yes, I'll go and invite him right away!" Zhang Yu responded in a panic.

Lin Zhan ordered Ding Lu again: "Go to Li Qianhu and ask him to lead the troops. Also, look for Wang De'an. If you find him, let him come. If he doesn't come, then leave him alone." !”

If Wang De'an didn't support the soldiers begging for food, Lin Zhan wouldn't believe it even if he killed Lin Zhan.

Although it stands to reason that the local government must provide food and grass for the guards to send troops, but Yuzhou has no food to provide at all, and the Jiangnan Chief Envoy and the Dusi Yamen have stated that Yuzhou does not need to provide food.

As for why Wang De'an asked the soldiers to fight for food and wages, it was very simple. There was no need for any reason other than wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

Seeing that the group of soldiers were getting more and more violent, and seemed to be attacking the gate of the official warehouse, Lin Zhan's eyes turned cold and he shouted loudly: "Shut up!"

The sound was like thunder, instantly suppressing the shouts of the soldiers, and the scene fell into silence, but then the soldiers saw it was him and shouted again: "Master Zhizhou is here!"

"Lord Zhizhou, you must give us justice!"

"We came to suppress the bandits, but we couldn't even get a bite to eat!"

A group of people surrounded Lin Zhan, and the guards around Lin Zhan quickly stepped forward to warn.

"Shut up!" Lin Zhan shouted again, "Let your leader speak out!"

All the soldiers looked at me and I looked at you. Although they were arguing about food and wages, they really didn't dare to act recklessly.

It's OK to make a fuss, but if it gets too big, no one will collect their bodies.

Soon a thin man walked out of the crowd and looked at Lin Zhan with a flattering smile on his face, "I pay my respects to Lord Zhizhou!"

"Who are you?" Lin Zhan asked.

"The villain is Zhang Bei, the flag officer of Haizhou Wei."

"You brought these people!" Lin Zhan looked at him with cold eyes.

Zhang Bei trembled, "No, no, the villain is just with them, this is not caused by the villain!"

"Who asked you to come here to ask for food and wages?" Lin Zhan continued to ask.

"No one!" Zhang Bei quickly denied: "Master Zhizhou must also understand us. After we came to Yuzhou, we have been given food and wages. We have no choice but to come to ask Master Zhizhou!"

"Please! Is this what you are begging for?" Lin Zhan said coldly.

Pretending, haha, you really think I am so easy to fool.

These guys have only been in Yuzhou for more than ten days. They have done nothing and just stayed outside the city. How could they be hungry?

As for the fact that they didn't bring food and grass, that's even more impossible. Haizhou Guard is not far from Yuzhou, so even if they didn't bring it when they came, they can still bring it here now.

Moreover, he had already shown Wang De'an the official documents from the Chief Envoy Department and the Dusi Yamen. Unless Wang De'an was mentally retarded, it was impossible not to transport food and grass.

At this time, a tall man walked quickly with more than 20 people from a distance.

"Mr. Lin!" Yu Shengze came closer, cupped his fists and saluted.

"Master Yu, I have to trouble you again!" Lin Zhan's expression softened slightly and he returned the greeting.

Yu Shengze laughed, "Mr. Lin, you are being polite now. We are all working for the imperial court, why bother talking about it!"

The chief officer of Fucheng Shangwu Department is Qian Hu, but in fact, Yu Shengze only has more than a hundred people under his command, usually from the elite of the army, and half of them are warriors recruited from the civilian population.

Even though there are only about twenty people around Yu Shengze, these twenty people are all warriors, and several of them are acquired warriors.

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Li Boran came over with hundreds of soldiers.

"Meet Mr. Lin!"

Lin Zhan nodded, "Thank you Li Qianhu for your hard work!"

Although Li Boran is also a member of the Haizhou Guard, he and Wang De'an are not from the same group.

Wang De'an said he was protecting the city, but in fact it was Li Boran who really protected the city.

Seeing so many people coming, the soldiers who were fighting for food and pay shrank a little, and they stood there obediently, no longer daring to shout loudly.

Lin Zhan no longer paid attention to them, but just stood there waiting.

The key to this matter was not this group of soldiers, but that Wang De'an.

He wanted to see if Wang De'an dared to show up.

Wang De'an was still somewhat confident. After about a quarter of an hour, Wang De'an hurried over.

The voice came before the person arrived.

"What are you damn dogs doing? Didn't I say that I would give you food and wages? How dare you come here to make trouble!"

"Oh, Lord Lin, I'm sorry, I bowed my fist, it's because I didn't control it well, and I actually let these dogs come to cause trouble for Lord Lin!"

Wang De'an ran over with a smile on his face, and bowed to Lin Zhan repeatedly.

Lin Zhan looked at him, "Lord Wang, do you think I have a good temper?"

Wang De'an was stunned, "Lord Lin, what are you talking about!"

"This official knows your background, your sister is the concubine of An Guogong!" Lin Zhan looked at him expressionlessly.

Dare to make trouble?

Without some confidence, there would be no such courage.

The Jiangnan Dusi Yamen was under the jurisdiction of the Zuojun Dudufu, and the Zuodudu of the Zuojun Dudufu was Anguo Gong Huairen, and Yang Zhengshan still held the empty title of the right duke.

Wang De'an's face turned ugly when he heard this.

Giving away one's own sister as a concubine is not a glorious thing after all.

Although being a concubine to the Duke of Anguo is a blessing, this matter cannot be put on the surface.

"What does Lord Lin mean?" Wang De'an's voice became cold.

Yu Shengze next to him held the long sword in his arms, pretending to be watching a good show.

"Then do you know the details of this official?" Lin Zhan smiled, and smiled brightly.

Wang De'an was stunned at first, then said uncertainly: "Didn't Lord Lin work in the Ministry of War before?"

It's not that he didn't know Lin Zhan. He knew that Lin Zhan worked in the Ministry of War before. As for the rest, he didn't ask in detail. After all, this is Yuzhou, not Kyoto. If you want to find out Lin Zhan's details, you have to go to Kyoto.

Besides, Lin Zhan has status, so what? He is backed by the Anguo Mansion. Even in Kyoto, how many families can compare with the Anguo Mansion.

"Yes, I did work in the Ministry of War before, but I am the disciple of Jing'an Marquis!" Lin Zhan said softly.

He also has a backer, and he will not be afraid to borrow the power of Yang Zhengshan.

What kind of master, what kind of disciple.

Back then, Yang Zhengshan liked to borrow the power the most, borrowing the power of Zhou Lan, the power of Ningguo Mansion, and finally the power of the emperor.

In comparison, it is more natural for the disciple to borrow the power of the master.
