The next day, as Ning Ze ordered, Zhao Tan sent someone to invite all the wealthy businessmen and gentry in the city and local powerful people to meet in the restaurant.

I heard that Danyang Hou was treating guests, and powerful and wealthy people came in the city, and the scene was particularly lively.

It is not easy to come here. After retirement, there will be influential former officials, wealthy merchants, descendants of powerful people, local celebrities and representatives of certain families.

These people rushed to flatter Ningze and sent all kinds of gifts, which were quite generous.

After all, Ning Ze already controls Liangzhou, and no one dares to offend easily.

At the banquet, Ning Ze found that except for a few people who were present, they were still loyal, but all the rest were less than 30.

What attracted him the most was a middle-aged man wearing blue clothes and looking ordinary.

This guy is named Yang Fu, and his loyalty is 0, and he is the largest family representative in Xuantang County.

Loyalty is 0, and the problem is huge.

The others were at least 10 to 30 o'clock, but he didn't have any of them.

When the banquet ended, everyone left one after another. Ning Ze secretly observed Yang Fu and saw him going out to meet members of the clan. As expected, they were all loyal.

Loyalty is 0, which means that these people have no sense of belonging to their own camp and may rebel or surrender to other forces at any time.

But they have not rebelled yet, and the system defaults to belong to their own camp and no enemy logo has appeared.

Basically, only if you raise an army and become independent or surrender to the enemy will officially appear. However, it seems that the Yang family is almost the same.

The largest family in Xuantang County? Judging from the attitudes of many people attending the banquet, the Yang family has indeed had a great influence in Xuantang County.

Maybe the problem has been found!

Ning Ze found Zhao Tan: "Arranging, I want to visit the Yang family secretly!"

"Mr. Marquis, why is this?"

"Don't worry about so many, prepare a carriage for me!"

"Here!"

Zhao Tan quickly arranged for the carriage to stop outside the restaurant.

Ning Ze and Mi Yan got into the car and moved all the way to the mansion.

On the way, Ning Ze lifted up the car window and observed secretly, and found several sneaky figures following him.

"Husband, what's wrong?" Mi Yan asked.

"It's okay!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "I'll get off the bus first when you arrive at a remote intersection in front. Take someone back to the mansion, don't be seen that I've left!"

"Okay!" Mi Yan nodded and agreed.

The carriage walked into Guajiaohutong, and Ning Ze jumped off at the second turn and hid in the corner quickly.

Mi Yan asked the carriage to continue moving forward and walked towards the mansion.

Ning Ze hid himself and hid in the corner to observe secretly.

Not long after, the sneaky man behind him continued to move forward with the carriage.

After he passed, Ning Ze came out of the corner and ran away to the other side.

When I ran to the exit of the alley, I saw a carriage parked by the roadside, quickly entering the carriage and lowering the curtains.

It turned out that Zhao Tan had to arrange the car to wait here in advance.

"Go to the Yang family!"

"Driving!" The coachman was Zhao Tan's confidant. He received the order and directly raised his whip and drove the carriage to the streets.

When you arrive at the Yang family, the coachman immediately reminds Ning Ze.

Ning Ze thought carefully and said to him: "Take me to the vicinity of Yang's house and choose a place to park in less than one person. After I get down, don't go back to the government office and go around to the nearby inn to wait."

"Here!"

"What about the things you prepared?"

"Report to Marquis, right under your seat, you can see it when you open the wooden board!"

Ning Ze got up and turned on the wooden board, and saw a storage box below with replacement clothes.

The linen cloth worn by ordinary people is exclusive to the poor, and several patches have been put into it.

Change it directly into the carriage, put it in the python robe in the famous prop bar, and then untie the hair and spread it. No one should recognize him.

"Marty, we're here!" In a place where there was no one, the carriage stopped.

Ning Ze vigilantly checked the surroundings through the car window, and confirmed that there was no problem. Then he went down and waved his hand to let him leave quickly.

The other party drove away, and Ning Ze walked to the back of the huge Yang family according to the direction pointed by the coachman.

Passing through the street, you will walk around an alley, and next to it is the Yang family yard.

There are no people in the alley, it is very quiet.

Keep walking forward and hear the sound of talking in my ears.

To be safe, Ning Ze quickly hid around the corner to hide himself.

It turned out that the two houses in the corner were very close, so I stretched out my hands and feet to press against the walls on both sides and moved up carefully. Stop at the highest point and observe the situation below.

After a while, I saw a few people coming to the right, one servant dressed up and several other people dressed up.

These people were talking while walking, and it seemed that they were holding something in their hands.

"Brother Shun, give me some more!" A peasant woman dressed in a dress code to ask the servants for it.

"Auntie, that's enough!"

“That’s really that much?”

“That’s all!”

"Forget it! What are you talking about today?"

"The master told me to follow the new content and the same requirement, so I avoid it and spread it privately."

"Don't worry, everyone is familiar with the road. We are chatting with friends, where can the government take care of it?"

"Anyway, be careful, it's very troublesome to have a big shot at critical moments!"

"Know!"

...

As the few people were talking, the servants gave each person a bag of silver and a bundle of small bamboo slips. Then they spread out and walked in different directions.

Ning Ze waited for them to leave, then slowly moved down and finally returned to the ground.

After thinking for a while, he secretly headed to the direction of the peasant woman leaving. He saw her turning into a small path and followed her quietly without being discovered, finding an opportunity to take out a ingot of silver and throw it over.

"Click!" The silver fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

He immediately concealed his body.

The peasant woman was startled when she heard the sound, and hurriedly turned around to look around, but did not find Ning Ze. She soon saw the silver ingots on the roadside, her eyes lit up and she hurried over to pick them up.

When she approached, Ning Ze rushed out from the side and knocked him out from behind before she could react.

He knocked over the peasant woman, quickly snatched the bamboo slips she got from the servants, and fled here with silver.

Come to a safe place, slowly open the bamboo slips and carefully check the contents.

The more I looked at it, the more angry I became. It turned out that it was all lies that slandered and slandered my own camp. Some of them slandered themselves, saying that if they captured a city, they would massacre the people and rob children and girls to practice demonic techniques, some of them slandered their own army, saying that the Futu army was a demon army and had to eat people. Every place they went, they would arrest the people as military rations. There were also various exaggerated slander contents that targeted them, which was angering! There were also some words praising the Yang family, even encouraging the people to monitor foreign "demons". Any information could be provided to the Yang family in exchange for money.

No wonder the people in Xuantang County are constantly declining, and when they arrive here, they feel that they are being monitored everywhere.

Taking advantage of the shortcomings of slow spread of news in this era, the Yang family is so bewitching that they must have bad intentions!

The people here are also ignorant, and the other party's methods are hidden, so they bribed some eloquent people, and spread rumors to the people around them just like gossiping, and they are hard to guard against.

Zhao Tan and others just arrived in Xuantang County. Compared with the Yang family, who was a local tyrant, of course, they did not have the same influence as the other party. The people believed that the Yang family was even more powerful, and Zhao Tan was confused by rumors, so they naturally helped the Yang family with all their might.

In this case, I'm afraid that all the minor officials in the government office will not be trusted. Officials can be assigned, and minor officials basically use the previous ones or recruit local people. In this way, it is normal for Zhao Tan and others to be deceived by minor officials and not get any news. However, they still feel that everything is under control and they don't know that they are being played with and applaud.

Ding Mu's disappearance has nothing to do with the Yang family!

This is the home court of the Yang family. Depending on the situation, the entire county town is under the control of the other party, and they will become independent sooner or later! Otherwise, they would not do such a thing.

It is very easy to destroy the Yang family. You only need to mobilize heavy armored infantry outside the city to easily wipe out.

The other party must have never expected to be locked up by himself so soon, after all, no one knows the system.

However, Ding Mu's life and death are unknown, and the general is hard to get. If he is in the hands of the other party, he may have killed his life when he encircled and suppressed him. There was already a shortage of manpower, and any losses would be difficult for Ning Ze to accept.

It is necessary to find out whether Ding Mu is dead or alive. If he is dead, he will directly encircle the Yang family and completely eliminate him; if he is alive, he must try to rescue him and save this general!

The question is, where is Ding Mu?

Ning Ze thought for a long time, and the fastest way to find him was to use his body as bait.

The Yang family is spread all over the county, probably even more dense than the government, and there are even eyeliners inside the government.

Ding Mu's disappearance during the investigation shows that before doing big things, the Yang family will do their best to block all news to ensure that there will be no mistakes.
