The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "Don't worry. I've come to Longtan and Tiger's Caves. Are you afraid of capsizing in this small river?"

But Wei Zheng said: "Your brother must not act rashly, you need to find out the reality of this manor before you can start."

Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said, "Time is running out. It's all my negligence. In the past few days, I have neither organized the villagers to go to the salt field to make a noise, nor arranged for people to go to the county government to file a complaint. After suffering such a big loss, after two days of fussing, all the flags died down. It is inevitable to make people suspicious. Yang Jishan has been in Yanguan for so long, and he rarely shows up in front of people, which shows that he is cautious. If he smells something and hides elsewhere, things will be difficult."

In fact, it was not that Yang Jishan was cautious, but because his elder brother Yang Xuangan repeatedly ordered him to restrain himself, so he had to restrain his temper.

Wei Zheng frowned and said, "The Yang family's manor must be very large. If we don't find out the situation, how can we do it?"

Liu Ziqiu's expression darkened, he looked at his hands, and said, "I have no choice but to kill."

On the first day he appeared here, he accidentally killed a knight under Yang Heihu to save Gao Xiuer, and then killed Wang Hong in the palace, the Sui army vice-captain and six infantry outside the garden wall, and later killed Xu Tingfu and the four hooligans were killed, and the lives lost could not be counted with two hands.Among these people, Xu Tingfu, the four rogues, and Yang Heihu's knights should all be killed.But other people are inevitably a little innocent, just doing their duty.

This time sneaking into the Yang family's manor, it is necessary to arrest a few servants and maids for torture, I am afraid that those people will die even more unjustly.Although this was not the result Liu Ziqiu hoped to see, he had no other way to think about it.

Wei Zheng understood Liu Ziqiu's situation, sighed, and said, "Brother Liu, if you don't mind, can I walk around the village?"

Liu Ziqiu was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Brother Wei, what are you talking about, since you have agreed to teach here, Changshan Village is your home, why not?"

After Wei Zheng went out, Liu Ziqiu sat in the room thinking silently, suddenly remembered the panic in Xiang Cao's eyes just now, and became suspicious again, and said, "Xiu'er, let's go out for a walk too."

Full of joy, Gao Xiuer followed Liu Ziqiu to the Qiantang River.Although it is not the season of high tide, the river is still surging and flowing.There are several cold gulls on the surface of the river, where the wind blows, the reed flowers are fluttering, and everything is dying.

Liu Ziqiu asked suddenly: "Xiu'er, how much do you know about vanilla?"

Gao Xiu'er asked strangely: "Lang Jun, why are you asking this?"

"I always thought vanilla wasn't that simple."

"Don't be suspicious." Gao Xiu'er laughed "puchi" and said, "Xiangcao has been in our house since she was born. Her parents are my slaves. She has been by my side since she was four years old. What can I do?" question."

Liu Ziqiu murmured: "You and Xiangcao are named master and servant, and are actually sisters. You go and have a good talk with her, maybe she knows something."

……

Thirty miles southeast of Danyang City is Moling Town, where the Xie family, the head of the most prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River, lives.Danyang in the Sui Dynasty is not the same place as the current Danyang. The current Danyang is in Zhenjiang, but the Danyang in the Sui Dynasty is the present Nanjing.Moling is a big town, with more than 3000 families in the town, and half of them have the surname Xie.

The largest house in the east of the town is the Xie Family Courtyard.These scholars in the Southern Dynasties have not been reused by the court, but the Xie family is still the leading wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River.

Since this morning, the Xie family compound has been heavily guarded.At noon, a carriage drove into the courtyard of Xie's family. The carriage was completely covered, and no one knew who was sitting inside.

At this time, Xie Wengshan, the old man of the Xie family, opened the middle door to greet him personally: "My dear brother, I finally expect you to come."

The person who came was Wang Ji, the head of another famous family in the south of the Yangtze River.In fact, the Xie Wang family was originally a noble family in the north. They moved to the south to avoid wars and chaos in the early years, and they multiplied and thrived in the south, becoming a local big family.

The two old men came to a secret room, turned around, only a handsome young man stood behind Wang Ji.Xie Weng Shan glanced at him, and said approvingly: "This is Bo'er, he is indeed a very talented person."

The young man hurried forward and saluted, "My nephew has seen my uncle."

Xie Wengshan nodded and said: "That's right, that's right. I heard that you have been alone in Qi County for these years, and you came back suddenly this time, but is there any important news?"

This young man is Wang Ji's youngest son. He has been intelligent since he was a child, capable of both literature and martial arts.Because the imperial court suppressed the southern gentry, Wang Ji wanted to find a family background for his son, so he sent him to a side branch of the Wang family in Qi County.

Seeing Wang Ji nodding his head, Wang Bo cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, since Yang Guang came to the throne, he has dug canals, built the Eastern Capital, and built the Great Wall, causing public dissatisfaction. Now Shandong, Henan, and Hebei are full of thieves. A few days ago, Hai'er met Lu Mingyue, and he made an appointment with Hai'er, and when they were done, they would row across the river."

Wang Ji waved his hand, Wang Bo bowed and retreated, only the two old men Xie Wang were left in the room.

Xie Weng Shan pondered and said: "Lu Mingyue is a great thief after all, you can't believe everything he says."

"I know this point well." Wang Ji then said to Xie Weng Shan, "Brother Xie, what does the Xiao family say?"

Xie Wengshan shook his head and said: "The Xiao family has already fallen, but that old boy Xiao Xin is still a little moved. If you and I are both from a scholarly family and lack people to lead soldiers, why bother to ask him to come out of the mountain."

It turned out that the people sent by the Xie family did not tell the truth, they just wanted to test how much power the Xiao family still had.They told Xiao Xin that they wanted their children to enter the Jinshi Department to achieve the purpose of revitalizing the family, but it was actually just a deception.Xie Weng Shan and Wang Ji, two old and treacherous guys, how could they not know that this important way will not work at all.However, due to Liu Ziqiu's strict secrecy, they still don't know that Xiao Xin has passed away.

Wang Ji pondered and said: "Bo'er also made friends with some powerful men in Qi County, and he responded when Lu Mingyue started an incident. In recent years, the imperial court has not been as tight on Jiangnan as in the past. Such a good opportunity, but Can't let it go."

Xie Weng Shan sighed: "Actually, as long as the imperial court guarantees the status of our two families, why should we bother?"

They all understood that the fact that Xie Wang's family was able to become one of the most prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River was due to the fact that from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Southern Chen Dynasty, they all held great power in the court.Now that this power is lost, no matter how powerful the family is, it will only end in decline.

……

Ah Fu and the others also returned to Changshan Village, bowing down and reporting to Liu Ziqiu: "Ah Lang, Yang Heihu did indeed enter that manor."

Liu Ziqiu stood up, and said in a deep voice, "Okay! Wrap the horse's hoof, chew the head and tighten it tightly. The four of you will go with me tonight!"

Wei Zhengang wanted to persuade him again.

But I heard Gao Xiuer say: "Lang Jun, Vanilla has painted the manor!"

The pens, inks, papers and inkstones were all brought by Wei Zheng. The patterns are very clear, and the houses, gardens, ponds and even the courtyard walls are clearly marked.

Liu Ziqiu only thought that Vanilla had some secrets, but he didn't expect that she could draw such a detailed pattern, he couldn't believe it: "Are you sure this is Yang's Manor?"

"Sure!" Vanilla bit her lip and said again, "However, it was more than ten years ago."

Liu Ziqiu knows that Vanilla is only 12 years old now, so he really can't imagine where she saw this picture, but now is not the time to pursue the details, it is better to have this picture than nothing.Liu Ziqiu seized the time, read it twice quickly, memorized the pattern in his mind, and quickly delineated several key points.

There is no moonlight tonight, which is a good time to kill people.Liu Ziqiu carried the contract copied by Gao Xiuer in the afternoon, took four Kunlun slaves, five of them on horseback, rushed out of the village entrance, and disappeared into the darkness...

In the manor in the west of Yanguan City, Yang Jishan was still hugging left and right, drinking and having fun.

Yang Heihu frowned, and said: "Seventh Young Master, the Eldest Young Master has another letter."

Yang Jishan waved his hand and said, "You don't need to look at me to know, and you are urging me to eat the other three salt farms. Is it that easy? Let it go for a while and talk about it tomorrow. By the way, the one in Changshan Village Helping the loach won't cause any more trouble, right?"

The villagers in Changshan Village fish for a living, and they are usually dark, but they were laughed at by him as loaches.

Yang Heihu bowed and said, "These two days have been quiet, but it makes people a little suspicious."

"What's there to be suspicious about?" Yang Jishan said disapprovingly. "In the past, they occupied that piece of land, and we had nothing to do. Now that the saltworks have been set up, what else can they do? According to me, they should have been driven away a long time ago." Already!"

Although Yang Heihu's position among the slaves of the Yang family was detached, he didn't dare to talk back to him face to face, so he went back to his room sullenly, threw the letter sent by Yang Xuangan on the table, tried to open it several times, but finally I held back.Lying on the bed, Yang Heihu tossed and turned, but couldn't fall asleep, feeling that something was going to happen today.

Suddenly, there was a "click" sound outside the window, as if someone had stepped on a branch.

"Who!" Yang Heihu jumped up from the bed.

"Meow……"

"It turned out to be a wild cat." Yang Heihu muttered, and then lay down resentfully. As soon as he touched the pillow, he smelled a strange fragrance.Yang Heihu murmured "No", and struggled to sit up, but felt dizzy for a while, and then fell down slowly.

After a long time, there was a "creak" and the window opened.A black figure rushed in, touched the bed quietly, and reached out to Yang Heihu.

With a sound of "choking", a cold light flashed, and Yang Heihu, who was supposed to be unconscious, suddenly moved, with a steel knife already in his hand, and he slashed at the shadow with all his might.The black figure seemed to have been prepared for a long time and dodged sideways.But Yang Heihu's knife was faster, and with a groan, the opponent was obviously injured.

It turned out that Yang Heihu also traveled the rivers and lakes in his early years, and he entrusted him to the Yang family because of a life lawsuit.As soon as he smelled it, he knew it was a dirty fragrance.Yang Heihu has his own way to deal with this kind of mist, pretending to be unconscious just to lure the enemy in.
