Yang Cui would not easily employ someone who had betrayed his master.
Therefore, Yang Cui will keep her promise to ask He Fan and the others to do things, but she will not assign them important or urgent tasks. What exactly to do will have to wait until after Yu Zhenqiang's matter is resolved.
Yang Cui let them take the agreed-upon final payment and divide it among themselves. Then she had someone take them to be settled in, and at the same time, she took the opportunity to find out about Zeng Dajiang and Yu Zhenqiang's past.
Yin Neng then led a group to interrogate Yu Zhenqiang and Zeng Dajiang. Yu Zhenqiang begged Yang Cui to spare his son before he finally confessed again...
It was only then that Yang Cui learned that Zeng Dajiang, He Fan, and their group had all been to prison for various reasons, and that it was Yu Zhenfeng who got them out of prison!
They were also assigned to Yu Zhenqiang by Yu Zhenfeng.
Yu Zhenfeng is Yu Zhenqiang's elder brother and also the Tongpan (assistant magistrate) of Bingzhou Prefecture! It was Yu Zhenfeng's idea for Yu Zhenqiang to come to Wan'an.
Gan Ning belonged to Bingzhou Prefecture!
Lin Shikang is in Gansu and Ningxia, while Meng Ruyan and Lin Chunmei are in Bingzhou Prefecture. Could Yu Zhenqiang's actions against him be Lin Shikang's doing?
However, Yu Zhenqiang confessed that he did not know Lin Shikang, but had only heard of him, and did not know Meng Ruyan and Lin Chunmei.
Does it have nothing to do with them?
Yu Zhenqiang's confession stated that he was not a core member of the family, and only knew that his family relied on Prince Qingyang, and that it was his elder brother's idea to transfer him to Wan'an.
There was one thing he hadn't lied to Yang Cui about: he had indeed come here for Yang Cui and her husband. As for what he would do, he would wait for further orders.
Later, he received news that the Prince of Qingyang had failed to win over Yang Cui and also knew that Cen Xiao was dead. So he took it upon himself to target Yang Cui and actively raised more funds for the Prince of Qingyang to help him complete his great cause!
At the same time, he also wanted to vent his anger for the Prince of Qingyang, since Yang Cui was so ungrateful!
Even his brother didn't know what he was doing, because he wanted to make a name for himself!
He didn't want to be an outsider!
Yu Zhenqiang was parachuted in, and a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, so he tried to win over Wan Songbai, forcing Wan Songbai to join him.
As for Zeng Dajiang, he said he didn't know Lin Mingcai, but after seeing Lin Mingcai's portrait, Zeng Dajiang hesitated.
Yin Neng punched Zeng Dajiang, who felt like his ribs were about to break. He had no choice but to confess: "I saw this man in Bingzhou. I even slept with a woman with him in a brothel. But his name isn't Lin Mingcai. His name is Mingchou. He worked as a jailer in the Bingzhou government prison. Later, I heard he went to the capital..."
Lin Mingcai really hid himself well, even becoming a jailer. No wonder the people Cen Xiao sent couldn't find him. Lin Chunmei, under the alias Qiu Xin'er, became the woman of the prefect of Bingzhou. It wouldn't be difficult for her father to get a job. This should have been thought of earlier.
Kyoto?
Isn't Lin Huihui in Kyoto?
Yang Cui felt that Lin Mingcai's trip to Kyoto was definitely not accidental! Thinking of the fates of Er Ya and San Ya in the original story, Yang Cui broke out in a cold sweat. If Lin Mingcai was with her, then when her family went to Kyoto again, she would have to deal with them!
Yang Cui immediately sent a letter to Ma Ming and Steward Cui, instructing them to keep an eye on Lin Huihui, find Lin Mingcai, and eliminate him!
"Madam, Manager Yu has arrived; he seems to have something urgent," Bao Lan reported as she entered.
"Let him in."
"Lord of the Township," Manager Yu greeted respectfully.
"No need for formalities, Manager Yu. What's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"
"My master sent an urgent message: General Cen is not dead!"
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing this news, An Dafu stood up excitedly.
Everyone in the room stared at Manager Yu in surprise.
Yang Cui remained relatively calm, as she had already guessed that Cen Xiao was not dead.
Even though she had already guessed that Cen Xiao had faked his death, Yang Cui was still uneasy until she heard the definite news. Now that she heard the confirmation, she finally felt relieved.
Manager Yu found Yang Cui's reaction a bit strange. He had originally thought that with General Cen in trouble, he still had a chance, but it seemed...
It's good that General Cen didn't die, because then no one will bully the village chief.
Then, Manager Yu continued, "The Prince of Qingyang rebelled, and almost all of his lurking followers in the capital were captured. The Prince of Qingyang's stronghold has been wiped out by General Cen's men, and he will be back soon. However, the Prince of Qingyang's heir has escaped, but since their stronghold has been destroyed, he will not amount to anything."
