The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

Liu Ziqiu came out to take a look, and couldn't help being stunned: "Third Aunt, don't you say that you are an old... old gentleman? Why is there a priest here?"

The third aunt blurted out: "Ox-nosed old man, old man with an old nose, isn't he just a little old man?"

"What! You say I'm a little old man?" That man, in his late thirties, with a square face and two sword eyebrows, is upright and awe-inspiring, and his anger is frightening.

The third aunt ignored him, and continued: "All the gentlemen in the city have a restaurant, and we don't pay more than others, and the location is remote, near the river..."

Liu Ziqiu said disdainfully: "What's wrong with being near the river? When the canal opens, they won't be able to come if they want!"

The priest suddenly asked in shock: "Open the canal? You mean the emperor is going to dig the canal again? Where did you get the news?"

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said, "I just came back from Luoyang. I heard it from a friend in Beijing. I don't know if it's true or not."

The Grand Canal is also known as the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in later generations, and the current Yuhang is the Hangzhou of later generations.Although Liu Ziqiu didn't know whether or when Yang Guang built the canal from the Yangtze River to the Qiantang River, it was only a matter of time, and he couldn't be counted as nonsense.

The Taoist priest suddenly shook his head and sighed, "I don't know how many people will die when the canal is dug."

Liu Ziqiu didn't want to discuss this issue with him, so he turned to his third aunt and asked, "What happened later?"

The third aunt said without hesitation: "Later, I saw this old... Taoist priest set up a stall on the side of the road to write family letters for others. He is very good at handwriting, so I invited him..."

Liu Ziqiu wondered: "Master Daoist, why don't you draw talismans to catch ghosts, divination and divination, why do you write family letters for others?"

The priest said solemnly: "The purpose of drawing talismans to catch ghosts and divination and divination is to make a living, and writing family letters is also to make a living. What's the difference?"

"Haha, haha... The Taoist priest is indeed telling the truth." Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Third Aunt, go down and rest first. I ask the Taoist priest to go to the village first."

The Taoist priest looked up and suddenly said in surprise: "Are you trying to rebel?"

It is impossible for ordinary small villages to build a wall around the outside. Changshan Village has not only built it, but also built it very firmly, with even more hopeful towers at the four corners.

Of course Liu Ziqiu refused to tell the truth, he just stammered: "It's just to guard against thieves, just to guard against thieves."

The Taoist priest sneered and said, "Langlang Qiankun, what kind of thief is there?"

In fact, the Sui Dynasty was quite prosperous at this time, and the lives of the people were relatively peaceful. A few thieves were inevitable, but they were far from rampant. Like Changshan Village, it was indeed a bit of a fuss.

Liu Ziqiu felt a little displeased, he invited a teacher, but this priest was always asking questions.However, after entering Changshan Village, it was Liu Ziqiu's territory, and he was not afraid that this leader would turn the world upside down.

The priest also seemed to see Liu Ziqiu's thoughts, and suddenly cupped his hands and said, "Take me to the school first."

Pointing to the open space in the center of the village, Liu Ziqiu felt a little embarrassed and said, "This is the school, the future one."

The Taoist priest was also startled, but he stretched it out immediately, and said, "I see that the houses in the village are all built of thatched grass. If it's just a few thatched huts, I'm afraid it won't take so much effort."

Liu Ziqiu cupped his hands and said, "To tell the truth, the Taoist priest, a brick house is going to be built here."

At that time, it was not easy to fire bricks and tiles, and the cost of brick houses was far higher than that of wooden houses. Even many large families' houses were mainly made of wood.The priest was surprised and said, "Why?"

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "No matter how hard it is, you can't suffer children, and no matter how poor you are, you can't have poor education."

The Taoist priest's face became serious, thoughtful.

Liu Ziqiu felt that something was going on, so he asked: "Master Taoist, haven't you asked for the Dharma name yet?"

"I'm going to be a teacher right now. What do I need a dharma name for?" The Taoist priest who had been tense since he arrived at the village entrance suddenly laughed, and clasped his fists and said, "I'm Wei Zheng! I don't know the patriarch..."

"Wait, what did you say your name was?"

"Under Wei Zheng!"

Liu Ziqiu couldn't believe his ears: "Wei Zheng? You said your name is Wei Zheng!"

I thought Yuan Tiangang was a Taoist priest, but he turned out to be the county magistrate. He thought Qin Shubao was a fast catcher, but he was just a big soldier. Now this Taoist priest claims to be Wei Zheng, completely subverting Liu Ziqiu's original impression of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

"What? The patriarch has heard of it?"

"Oh, no. It's just that one of my childhood playmates was also called Wei Zheng." Liu Ziqiu came back to his senses, changed the subject, and said, "Don't call me patriarch, just call me Liu Ziqiu. I don't know if Mr. Wei is willing to stay. .”

"Of course I would." Wei Zheng patted the burden behind him, and said with a smile, "I brought all my wealth here."

Liu Ziqiu said happily: "Well, sir, please stay at my house for now. When the school is completed, you will have your own residence."

Wei Zheng didn't refuse, he cupped his hands and said, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

Liu Ziqiu's yard was no bigger than other villagers'. There were three thatched huts, Gao Xiu'er, Xiangcao and two Korean servant girls lived in one, Liu Ziqiu lived in one with four Kunlun slaves, and the hall in the middle was a place for eating and discussing affairs. crowded.Liu Ziqiu had a heart for Wei Zheng, so he said to the two Koli servant girls, "Move all the bedding from the east room to the hall, and make room for Mr. Wei in that room."

Wei Zheng hurriedly said: "No, no, I'll just squeeze with you."

Liu Ziqiu didn't open his mouth, the two Koli maidservants only knew to act according to their master's order, they had already moved out all the bedding from the east room.

Wei Zheng was very sorry, he hesitated and said: "There must be something difficult in the village, I wonder if I can help."

Liu Ziqiu hesitated. If it were someone else, he would just say what he said. Even if there was a danger of it being leaked, he wouldn't mind killing someone to silence him.But the other party was Wei Zheng, so he couldn't make up his mind.

Wei Zheng said, "Actually, I can see that you must have messed with someone you shouldn't have messed with."

"That's right!" Liu Ziqiu gritted his teeth and shouted, "Xiu'er, bring me the contract!"

The wives and concubines of rich families are not allowed to meet outsiders casually, but this is a small mountain village, so they don't pay much attention to it, so Wei Zheng is not surprised.Just seeing Gao Xiu'er's beauty, he was still a little bit surprised, he didn't expect such a person to exist in the small village.However, thinking of Liu Ziqiu being able to say the words "No matter how hard it is, children cannot suffer, no matter how poor they are, education cannot be poor", and I am relieved.

After listening to Liu Ziqiu's ins and outs, Wei Zheng murmured, "The Yang family is huge. If we take the usual route, this matter may not be easy to handle. Presumably, Patriarch Liu has already made plans."

"Hehe, if Mr. thinks highly of me, you can call me Brother Wei, and I will call Mr. Wei Brother." Liu Ziqiu smiled and said, "To tell the truth, Brother Wei, Liu also knows that this matter cannot go the usual way. So My little brother plans to sneak into the Yang residence, kill Yang Heihu, teach Yang Jishan a lesson, and warn the Yang family!"

After talking about Liu Ziqiu's murderous intent, Wei Zheng didn't realize it. He shook his head and said, "It's not right! Although Yang Heihu is highly valued by the Yang family, he is only a house slave after all. If he is killed, he will be killed. The Yang family will not go to war for him. But Yang Heihu Ji Shan is different, he is the direct son of the Yang family, if he is hurt, the Yang family will not let him go."

Liu Ziqiu heard that Wei Zheng was planning sincerely, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "My little brother also knows that the Yang family will have revenge, so they will build a lot of construction in the village."

Wei Zheng stood up, paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, and suddenly said: "The Yuwen family is the most favored in front of the emperor now, and the Yang family is already weak, so they shouldn't dare to make things big. I don't know how the virtuous brother wants to teach Yang a lesson. Accumulate goodness."

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "It's actually quite simple. My younger brother found Yang Jishan's residence and took advantage of him while he was asleep to shave his head so as not to warn him. If he is obsessed with his obsession, taking his dog's head is not easy!"

Wei Zheng was surprised and said, "The Yang residence must be heavily guarded, how did you get there?"

"Brother Wei doesn't need to worry about this, little brother has his own way." Liu Ziqiu secretly laughed in his heart, he would go in and out of the imperial palace and forbidden garden a few times, even a small Yang's house was no problem.

Wei Zheng thought for a while, and said: "This method can certainly restrain Yang Jishan. However, with skin and hair, Yang Jishan is so humiliated by his parents, I'm afraid it's hard to accept. If a good brother can come in and out freely, just leave a letter. "

"Leave a letter? It's too cheap for him." Liu Ziqiu pondered, "It's better to cut off Yang Heihu's head, put it next to Yang Jishan's pillow, and scare him half to death before he can relieve his hatred!"

While talking, he saw Ah Fu barging in, cupped his hands and said, "Ah Lang, I found it! In..."

Although this courtyard is simple and simple, there are usually two Koryo maidservants who take turns guarding the door, and outsiders need to inform first when they come in.Ah Fu is one of his own, so he barged in directly. After speaking, he found that besides Liu Ziqiu, Gao Xiuer and Xiangcao, there was another stranger in the room, so he hurriedly stopped talking.

Liu Ziqiu nodded and said: "Mr. Wei is not an outsider, you continue to talk."

"The four of us rushed to the west gate in the early morning and searched separately. The servant walked southwest for more than three miles, and bumped into Yang Heihu and his party. The servant avoided the side, and after they had passed, continued to explore in the southwest direction, and found a man ten miles away. It's in a manor, surrounded by trees, if you don't pay close attention, outsiders won't be able to see it at all."

Xiangcao suddenly lost her voice and said, "Ten miles southwest of the county town!"

Liu Ziqiu asked in surprise, "Have you been there?"

"No, no." Vanilla waved her hands again and again, but couldn't hide the panic in her eyes.

Although Liu Ziqiu was a little puzzled, he had no time to ask in detail at this moment, and asked, "What about them?"

A Fu said: "Later, I waited for the four of us to meet at the west gate, but none of the three of them found a suitable manor. In order to confirm the matter, the servant came back to report to A Lang, and the three of them were still watching around."

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Go and tell them that you must not reveal your whereabouts, so as not to startle the snake."

"No!" Ah Fu bowed and said goodbye.

Gao Xiu'er became nervous: "Mr. Lang, do you really want to break into Yang's manor at night?"
