Yang Yuan, the old minister of the three dynasties, was sitting in the living room. He had always hated Xiong Tingbi's failure to do so. Yao Zongwen had already gone to Liaodong. He knew that Yao Zongwen was not incompatible with Xiong Tingbi, and was preparing to take this opportunity to impeach Xiong Tingbi.

There were two people sitting opposite Yang Yuan, namely the censor Feng Sanyuan and Gu Qing, who also worked in Liaodong. As for Xiong Tingbi's bearish temper, they were not in harmony with anyone. These two people also had conflicts with Xiong Tingbi.

Gu Qing said: "Duke Yang, Yao Shizhong has already gone to Liaodong. When he returns to Beijing for the memorial of impeachment of Xiong Manzi, I will join forces with Yushi Feng to help Yang Duke exhale this anger!"

"Duke Yang, the emperor must do his best!" Feng Sanyuan also stood up and said.

Just as Yang Yuan was trying to take action secretly, Gao Shixin rushed to Liaodong in plain clothes. In order to avoid arousing Yao Zongwen's alert, Gao Shixin didn't even use the post station. He rode his own Wuli horse and another spare fast horse to transfer, and stayed in an ordinary inn. He rotated two horses, traveling 150 miles a day, and headed straight to Liaodong.

More than 1,300 miles from the capital to Liaoyang, Gao Shixin surpassed Yao Zongwen's convoy and rushed in front of him. It took him less than ten days to arrive in Liaoyang.

"Mr. Xiong, I'm here again!" Gao Shixin was excited when he saw Xiong Tingbi.

Xiong Tingbi went up to him and gave Gao Shixin a hug: "Nephew, you are here again! I am very good here. Jiannu has been defeated by me after three invasions! One year later, Jiannu will be able to pacify Jiannu! It's a pity that the late emperor is as heavy as a mountain to Xiong, but he will never see this day again!"

After saying that, Xiong Tingbi shed tears.

"Mr. Xiong, it was because of the late emperor's great service that the boy came to Liaodong again, just because the court wanted to send people to Liaodong to review the army. I heard that the person who came to Liaodong to review the army was Yao Zongwen, who had never been incompatible with you. Now that the late emperor's great service, I am afraid that the thief will be unfavorable to you, so I came to Liaodong." Gao Shixin said.

Xiong Tingbi was furious when he heard the name Yao Zongwen: "What a shameless dog! This thief is insatiable. When I was the Liaodong Censor and this thief, this thief actually colluded with the Liaodong generals and sold the grain to the Korqin Tartars who were friends with Jiannu! Who doesn't know that the grain was the same as that of the Jiannu when they arrived at the Korqin Tartars? The old thief impeached the thief in anger. Who knew that this thief had a great relationship with Yang Hao, the Liaodong governor, back then. Yang Yuan in the court protected him. My impeachment was like a mud cow entering the sea!"

"Don't be angry, this thief will definitely be unfavorable to Mr. Xiong!" Gao Shixin advised. After saying that, he took out the will of Wanli, "Don't Xiong, the late emperor has a will here, and ordered the boy to be the commander of the Jinyiwei and assist Xiong Gong in protecting Liaodong! The late emperor also gave the boy Shangfang's sword. If anyone is unfavorable to Mr. Xiong, you can kill him first and then report him!"

Xiong Tingbi hurriedly knelt down to the will: "The great kindness of the late emperor! I have no way to repay it, but I can only pacify Jiannu as soon as possible to repay the emperor's kindness!"

Gao Shixin took over the will and said regretfully: "It's just a pity that there is no cabinet ticket for this edict. I'm afraid that the officials in the court will not recognize it. Even if Shangfang's sword, you can't kill officials casually. If it's Shangfang's sword, you have it, Mr. Xiong, but you have never seen anyone you have been killed."

Shangfang Baojian is not the one who wants to kill anyone, wouldn’t that be a mess? Not to mention killing civil servants, even killing military positions is illegal. Although civil servants are inferior to military officials, civil servants can only impeach military generals in the court, and cannot kill military generals without killing them.

As for Yuan Chonghuan's killing of Mao Wenlong later, of course it was illegal. It was not because his Shangfang sword had such great effect, but because Yuan Chonghuan falsely passed the imperial edict. Mao Wenlong thought that Chongzhen wanted to kill him, but he surrendered. This incident later became one of the crimes of Yuan Chonghuan being executed by Lingchi.

Xiong Tingbi said: "It is true that I also have the Shangfang sword given by the late emperor, but I dare not kill the officials casually. If I can kill them, I will chop Yao Zongwen's dog thief without a single sword!"

At this time, Yao Zongwen had arrived in Liaodong, and he first went to find Liu Guojin, the head of the Ministry of War phantom painting.

Liu Guojin was a civil servant from a military household. Before he passed the exam, he was also the adopted son of Li Chengliang. After Xiong Tingbi went to Liaodong, he had always opposed the Liao people's rule of Liao. Most of the soldiers he brought were Shanxi soldiers, as well as some Beizhi soldiers and Shaanxi soldiers. However, Liu Guojin believed that long-distance dispatch of troops was expensive, and the dispatch of troops from other places made them separated from their family and wives, which could easily cause social problems.

But no matter how Liu Guojin argued with Xiong Tingbi, Xiong Tingbi disagreed with the Liao people governing Liao. Lao Xiong only selected a few Liao people to make up for the shortcomings of foreign soldiers, and the rest were all transferred from foreign soldiers from thousands of miles away.

Gao Shixin's view on the fact that the Liao people could not govern Liao was exactly the same as Xiong Tingbi, because many of the Liao people had more or less one relationship with the Later Jin and Mongolia, and most of the works of the Later Jin were from the Liao people! In fact, those Liaodong generals had been local emperors who had been in charge for many years. For the court, they were warlords who were too big to lose. Rioters including the Eight Great Masters of the Shanxi Merchants smuggled important strategic materials such as iron and other important strategic materials to the Later Jin Jin. Many illegal activities were accomplished through the collusion and acquiescence of some Liaodong generals.

During the Li Chengliang era, he was arrogant and extravagant and nepotism. During the period of Li Chengliang's management of Liao, all the merchants and people in Liao were rewarded with him. Liaodong was labeled as Li Chengliang and formed a group of heroes. Moreover, Li Chengliang was born in the military and attached great importance to military achievements. During his foreign war, he often killed good people and made contributions. In addition, the wild boar skin was originally Li Chengliang's slave, and the generals promoted by Li Chengliang's servants had more or less certain connections with wild boar skin.

Even Mao Wenlong, when he was under Li Chengliang's command, he once called his brothers and brothers to the Wild Boar Skin, but Mao Wenlong was very loyal. The soldiers under Mao Wenlong all had deep hatred with the Wild Boar Skin, so Mao Wenlong was still reliable.

Liu Guojin insisted on his own initiative and recruited 20,000 troops from Liaodong. Who knew that more than 17,000 people were eliminated in less than a month!

So Lao Xiong submitted Liu Guojin's mistake to the court, which naturally caused Liu Guojin to hold a grudge against him.

Before the Donglin Party began to officially take power, the people who overturned Xiong already had Yang Yuan, Yao Zongwen, Liu Guojin, Feng Sanyuan and Gu Qing. These people had joined forces to deal with Xiong Tingbi. There were also things that Gao Shixin didn't know about, and the Later Jin Xizuo was actually involved in it and wanted to drive Xiong Tingbi out of Liaodong.

Yao Zongwen took Liu Guojin to the Sun family in Guangning again. After seeing Sun Degong, Sun Degong complained to them, saying that Xiong Tingbi did not trust their Liao people and instigated the Jinyiwei to arrest people randomly. Even his servants were captured by Xiong Manzi and slandered him for colluding with Jiannu.

"General Sun, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!" Yao Zongwen patted Sun Degong's shoulder and asked him to stand up.

Of course, Sun Degong was a very sensible person. When he stood up, a 1,000 taels of silver from the Jin Shang silver account was stuffed into Yao Zongwen's hands. That could be used to exchange the real money and silver for 1,000 taels of silver at the Jin Shang merchant!

Gao Shixin knew that Yao Zongwen was coming, so he waited for him in Liaoyang.

"Mr. Xiong, your Shangfang sword dares not kill anyone, but my Shangfang sword will definitely not be polite to those treacherous and slanderous! As long as Yao Zongwen dares to find fault, I will take him to the imperial prison!" Gao Shixin said.

What is Shangfang’s sword for? It’s used to kill people! Even if you don’t let your hands stick to blood, you can at least take down the person and send him to the imperial prison.

Ten days later, Yao Zongwen finally arrived in Liaoyang.

"Xiong Jingluo, Yao Zongwen, the director of the Ministry of Revenue, came to Liaodong to inspect the army." The personal captain Cao Wenzhao reported to Xiong Tingbi.

"What is coming is finally here!" Xiong Tingbi sneered, "Don't this thief want to inspect the army? Let him see the power of my Ming army tomorrow morning!"
