Chapter 67: Pan Yang's Enmity

There has always been a legend on the banks of Longting Lake.

"Yang Huqing, Pan Huhuhun, treacherous ministers and loyal ministers and Qinghun were divided."

It can be said that the Yang family generals of a hero in the Northern Song Dynasty made great contributions to the country, but the emperor did not distinguish between good and evil.

After Yang Ye was killed, Old Lady Yu went to the Golden Palace to file a lawsuit, but the emperor covered Pan Mei and only waived his three false positions. Old Lady Yu was furious and led his whole family to dismissal from office and retire. After the Yang family moved away, heavy rain fell, causing Pan and Yang's mansions to become a vast ocean. At that time, the Pan family was located in the east of the lake and the Yang family was located in the west of the lake. After the heavy rain, the water of East Lake was turbid and smelly, while the water of West Lake was as clear as a mirror. The people thought this was a portrayal of the loyalty and treacherous family of Pan and Yang's country.

This is not the case. The Yang family did do their duty and loyalty for the country, but the Pan family was not a big traitor. The reason why the water of Donghu Lake was turbid was because the population was dense near Donghu Lake at that time and various workshops gathered to discharge sewage. The clear water of West Lake was because there were few people living nearby at that time, and there were no workshops to discharge sewage.

The Romance is very different from historical facts, and the real Yang family is not as magical as in the Romance. The Yang family did come from generation to generation, but except for the famous generation of Yang Ye, everyone else is very ordinary, but because of the reputation of their ancestors, they were unanimously respected by the court and the public.

But the grudge between the Pan and Yang families was real. It originated from the failure of the Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition and Yang Ye was captured and committed suicide. The descendants of the Yang family blamed Pan Mei, who was still in control at the time, and regarded him as a great enemy. Similarly, Pan Mei also failed in the Northern Expedition, and since then the Song Dynasty had no ability to attack the Northern Expedition. She died of depression a year later. The descendants of the Pan family believed that Pan Mei was pirated by the descendants of the Yang family. Because the Song army was defeated at the time, the Song people were angry and listed Pan Mei as a treacherous minister. In order to divert social conflicts, the emperor acquiesced the people to list Yang Ye as a loyal wise man, and Pan Mei was treated as a treacherous minister to scold him. These were enough to make Pan Mei blame herself for the depressed death.

From then on, descendants of the Pan and Yang families hated each other and became a household name in the Song Dynasty.

On the banks of Longting Lake, the mansions of the Pan and Yang families are still located on the east and west sides. Under the Song Dynasty's system of emphasizing culture and suppressing martial arts, the descendants of the Pan family mostly serve as civil and professional officials, so the family is brilliant. In contrast, the status of the Yang family has been declining for generations, and the family is neglected.

In front of the huge Tianbo Mansion, although the popularity is deserted, it does not lose its majesty and arrogance.

In the living room where the king is loyal to the country, the atmosphere is a bit dull. On the Grand Master's chair is an old man in his sixties. He is tall and big, very majestic, wearing a navy blue samurai uniform, and frowning.

In front of him were two young men, dressed as a captain of the Song army, both looked powerful, with a long sword on his waist. It was supposed to be a Song army officer.

This is not surprising. The middle-aged man on the throne chair was named Yang Zaihui. He was the commander of the imperial guards in front of the palace. He was a second-rank official. Although he was famous and had a respectable position in the military, second only to the second-rank Taiwei, the supreme commander of the military.

Yang Zaihui is the contemporary head of the Yang family. His only son Yang Ping was killed when he fought in the Western Xia seven years ago. The grandson of the Shan Chuan was named Yang Fan. He ran away from home with his love for the family five years ago on the wedding day. He was killed and disappeared in Hangzhou and his whereabouts are still unknown.

The two young men in front of him were Yang Bing and Yang Jun, the adopted son whom Yang Zaihui took in. Not long ago, the Hangzhou magistrate Wu Tianliang sent a 600-mile rush letter to Yang Zaihui, informing him that a man named Yang Fan appeared in Hangzhou. Not only was the same name, but he even looked very similar. Perhaps the young master of the Yang family was missing. Yang Zaihui immediately sent Yang Bing and Yang Jun's two adopted sons to Hangzhou in person to check the truth. As a result, when the two of them arrived in Hangzhou, Yang Fan had already left.

Yang Bing said: "Enjoyed Father, after going to Hangzhou for detailed inquiries, we found out that the young man not only had the same name as the young master, but also looked almost the same. We infer that he was the young master who had an accident in Jingde Temple in Hangzhou five years ago!"

Yang Jun nodded and agreed, "Enjoyed Father, I think so too! According to our investigation, the young man appeared in Jingde Temple out of thin air. Five years ago, the young man was attacked by a villain in Jingde Temple and fell off a cliff. However, we have not found a body yet. This person started to appear in Jingde Temple. Who else would he be if he was not the young man?"

Yang Zaihui frowned and said, "It's been five years. If it's Fan'er, why didn't he go home? The guy named Zhang Yang wants to kill Fan'er several times. Don't he know how to show his identity to save his life?"

Yang Bing looked at Yang Jun and speculated: "Maybe the young master has something else. After all, he ran away from marriage to Hangzhou five years ago. I am afraid that your adoptive father will find his family law to deal with him!"

Yang Jun nodded and said, "Yes! The Yang family's laws are so strict. You are selfless. If the young master is caught, he will not be beaten to death!"

Yang Zaihui was so angry that his beard was pouting and cursed: "If this little bastard dares to come back, see if I don't break his legs, I will tell him to run again!"

Yang Bing and Yang Jun looked at each other and smiled and said, "I believe this!"

Yang Zaihui sighed immediately and said, "The name, appearance, age, and body shape are the same as well, and the location is also the same. It is probably Fan'er is right!"

Yang Jun said: "Five years have passed. Even if the young master is so big, you should spare him this time because of the deceased elder brother!"

Yang Bing immediately agreed and pleaded for Yang Fan.

Yang Zaihui did not answer directly, but just asked: "Didn't you say he has set off for Beijing? Then wait for him to come back. If you admit your mistakes, I will beat him a few less!"

Yang Bing and Yang Jun immediately thanked Yang Fan, and the former continued: "Calling the day, the young master should have arrived in the capital long ago, but for some reason he hasn't returned home yet!"

Yang Zaihui suddenly said nervously: "Is there another accident halfway through the way?"

Yang Jun hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the adoptive father, the young master is very alert. I heard from Captain Ye that his daughter made a special move for the young master. Even the people from Yingyangwei did not notice it. Those who secretly chased the young master should not be able to find it!"

Ying Yangwei is a dead soldier of the Yang family. They are all very skilled and loyal to the Yang family. This is one of the reasons why the Yang family can always stay in the military and not fall.

Yang Zaihui said with a calm face: "Have you found out the origin of these men in black?"

Yang Bing replied: "It seems like he is a dead soldier from the Pan family!"

Yang Zaihui's eyes turned cold and he said ruthlessly: "The Pan family is going to punish our Yang family to death, and to make the Yang family lose their queen!"

At this moment, a servant suddenly came in to report that Mr. Dong had just seen Yang Fan and came to report.

Yang Zaihui was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly ordered someone to bring Dong Kuang in and ask what was going on.

The Dong Kuang family and the Yang family are neighbors, and the two families have always had a good relationship, so Dong Kuang's words made Yang Zaihui believe that his legitimate grandson Yang Fan is still alive and has entered Beijing.

However, Yang Zaihui asked in confusion: "Are you saying Fan'er doesn't recognize you?"

Dong Kuang immediately smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest with the old general Yang, Yang Fan seems to have no change on the surface, but he doesn't recognize his juniors!"

Yang Zaihui frowned and said, "You two are childhood friends, how could he not recognize you? Could it be that he is not Fan'er?"

Dong Kuang suddenly shook his head and said, "This is impossible. I see it in person. I undoubtedly recognize him as Yang Fan, and I can even recognize him!"

The hall suddenly fell silent, and the four of them looked at me and I looked at you, and they all felt incredible.

After a long time, Yang Zaihui said, "Since Fan'er is in the capital, Abing and Ajun, you two will find him immediately and capture him back for me. You will know it once you ask!"

Yang Bing and Yang Jun immediately took the order, and Yang Zaihui turned to Dong Kuang again and reminded: "Don't talk to others about this matter for the time being!"

Dong Kuang immediately smiled bitterly and said, "I am guilty. When I came, I met the second lady of the Lin family and told her accidentally!"

Yang Zaihui suddenly had two big heads, glared at Dong Kuang in anger, and complained: "Your mouth is so fast! If something happens, I will never forgive you!"
