Fortunately, Yang Si was not a roundworm in Yan Lin's stomach. Otherwise, if he knew what Yan Lin was thinking, he would probably explode in anger.
What did Yan Shaoyang mean?
What did he mean by "I'm good at pacifying, but I don't believe I can't handle Yang Si"?
Did he think he was a human or a dog? How could he use the word "pacify"?
Because they didn't know, the two of them could get along "peacefully" and didn't get into a lawsuit.
Feng Zhen was addicted to watching the drama. He wanted to join in no matter what. He was happy to see Yang Si being humiliated.
"Yan Shaoyang is on the lord's list. If you want to take revenge on him, remember to take it easy."
Feng Zhen was worried that Yang Si would get into some kind of scandal when he grew up. If he didn't get rid of Yan Lin, he might get himself into trouble.
Yang Si glared at him and said sarcastically, "Since when did Feng Langzi change? I can't believe you would say something like that."
Advise him to take it easy?
How could Feng Zhen say that?
How shameless could he be?
How shameless!
Even without Feng Zhen's warning, Yang Si knew his limits. His lord could not stand betrayal and infighting. She could turn a blind eye to the small conflicts between the people in the tent and turn a blind eye to it. Occasionally, she would even be in the mood to watch the show or interfere. However, if things got out of hand, she would not allow it. The conflict between Yang Si and Yan Lin hadn't escalated to that extent. At most, they would make a few sarcastic remarks.
Speaking of conflicts, Yang Si and Han Yu's were more serious than Yan Lin's, but they were still living in harmony.
Feng Zhen tapped his folded fan against his palm and rolled his eyes in exasperation.
"Yang Jingrong, you heartless girl. Who am I trying to persuade you for? Isn't it for you? When the conflict between you two reaches the lord, you'll be the one who suffers in the end. If you don't say anything, the lord will be partial to you. This is called advancing by retreating. "
Yang Si said sarcastically, "You're pretending to be kind. Who doesn't know what kind of person the famous Feng Langzi is?"
The group of little princesses argued with each other every day. They hadn't fallen apart after so many years. They really admired Jiang Pengji's ability to control her subordinates.
Jiang Pengji arrived at her destination three days earlier than scheduled. Everyone welcomed her in person.
They hadn't seen each other for almost a year. Everyone was so jealous that they realized that their lord didn't seem to have changed much.
Jiang Pengji dismounted from the horse's back and helped Fu Wang and the others up one by one. She realized that their skin had darkened by several degrees. She almost couldn't recognize them.
She laughed and teased, "Did you all go to the coal mine to dig coal?"
When Wei Ci, who was following behind her, heard this, his face turned green. Suddenly, he felt his throat itch. He wanted to cough a few times to wake his lord up.
Fortunately, Jiang Pengji was reliable. She added another sentence after teasing him.
"It's tough on the frontlines. My beloved generals, you've all worked hard."
Feng Zhen, Yang Si, and the other scholars were still fine. At most, they had darkened by one or two degrees and looked a little thinner. However, Fu Wang and the other generals had changed a lot.
It was as if they were eating soy sauce for dinner. It was not wrong to say that they had crawled out of the coal mine.
Wei Ci's worries were unnecessary. Fu Wang and the rest still did not understand their lord's temperament. It was just a few harmless teasing words.
Fu Wang said righteously. "It's my duty to expand the territory of the Lord. It's not hard work."
"This is not a proper occasion. There's no need to be so restrained. It will make people feel uncomfortable." Jiang Pengji was not a vain person. She did not need her subordinates to show their loyalty to her every now and then. Loyalty was not as important as words. She said to Fu Wang as if she was talking about family matters, "This is not the place to talk. Let's settle the soldiers of the three armies first. It's not too late to talk about proper matters later."
Jiang Pengji had brought 50,000 troops and horses from Zhanjiang Pass this time. The remaining troops were enough to deal with the changes in Zhongzhao.
Jiang Pengji did not need to personally settle the soldiers. Feng Zhen and the others would handle it for her. Fu Wang led her to the main city's manor. As soon as they sat down, Jiang Pengji asked Yang Tao about the rebellion. Fu Wang stammered for a while and looked at Yang Si.
Yang Si cursed Yan Lin for the hundredth time in his heart. He stepped forward to confess to Jiang Pengji and tried his best to defend himself against the accusation of failing to supervise.
Jiang Pengji said, "There's no hurry to confess. Tell me what happened first. At first, we received news that there was a rebellion. Then, we said it was a misunderstanding? "
She was well aware of the situation, but she still had to ask. She did not want to break the rules and create a bad atmosphere.
It was one thing for Jiang Pengji to be well aware of the situation, but it was another for her subordinates to hide it from her.
Yang Si felt bitter in his mouth. He picked out the key points and hid Yan Lin's scheme.
Firstly, there was no witness or material evidence. It was not easy to accuse him.
Secondly, Yang Si did not want to bring the conflict to Jiang Pengji. It would be too embarrassing.
Personal grudges were personal grudges. He should not disregard public and private interests and take revenge indiscriminately.
Jiang Pengji said calmly, "If that's the case, I'll fine you a month's salary. It's a small punishment but a great warning. Do you have any objections?"
Yang Si's ears perked up.
He knew that he was going to be the scapegoat. He did not expect his lord to feel sorry for him and let him off lightly.
"I have no objections. I'm willing to accept the punishment." Yang Si's mood instantly brightened. He said seriously, "I will remember the lesson and will never do it again."
What kind of punishment was a month's salary penalty?
At most, it was just a show for outsiders. There was no real meaning to it.
This showed that his lord was a discerning person. She knew the inside story, but she could not reveal it.
For Yang Si, the punishment was not important. The most important thing was how his lord viewed him.
As long as his lord knew that he was innocent, everything else could be ignored.
In addition, everyone's salary was different from the usual monthly salary.
Every month's salary was fixed, but there would be generous rewards and bonuses in July and January.
His lord said that this was a reward every six months to encourage everyone's enthusiasm for making contributions.
This was the bulk of the annual income. Compared to it, the monthly salary was nothing.
According to his lord's temperament, she would definitely find an excuse to make it up to him if he was wronged. Yang Si was the one who benefited.
The depression he had been feeling for the past few days was finally relieved. He felt refreshed.
Jiang Pengji rested for a while. After she had a general understanding of the situation, she washed up and changed into a more formal outfit to meet Yang Tao.
Although Yang Tao had surrendered, he was still a feudal lord in name. Jiang Pengji should give him the respect he deserved.
"How does my lord plan to settle Yang Tao?"
Wei Ci saw that there was still some moisture around her and her long hair was slightly damp. He took a dry cloth to dry her.
"How do I settle him? I'll just go with the flow. " Jiang Pengji said, "You know my current situation. There are too few capable commanders who can take charge of an area on their own. Yang Tao and Yan Lin have a close relationship. If I don't use Yang Tao, Yan Lin will not truly submit. It's better to take all of them. "
There were many capable old officials under Yang Tao. Jiang Pengji needed them.
After dealing with Yang Tao, it would not be difficult to recruit these people.
She could even tolerate Yang Tao, let alone Yang Tao's old subordinates!
