The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

Hearing this muffled groan, Yang Heihu was overjoyed, jumped up, and slashed at the shadow again.He was in mid-air, and the knife had already been cut out, and he felt a strong wind hit the back of his head, and he couldn't help being terrified.Relying on his martial arts just now, and seeing the enemy injured, he was overwhelmed for a while, and he didn't even call the guards in the manor, but he didn't expect the enemy to have backup.

At this moment Yang Heihu wanted to call out, but he was too busy, so he had to forcefully throw the saber towards his back, halfway through, he was hit hard on the neck, and fell down slumped.

The man behind him snatched the steel knife from Yang Heihu's hand and waved it casually.Where the blood burst out, Yang Heihu's head was already in a different place, his eyes were opened angrily, and he couldn't rest in peace.

"Good knife!" Liu Ziqiu wiped off the blood on the knife and asked, "Are you okay?"

The black figure who came in earlier clutched his chest, shook his head and said, "A little flesh wound."

"Take his head away and wait for me outside the village!" Liu Ziqiu was about to leave, but when he turned around, he saw the unopened letter on the table, and stopped in his tracks...

When I returned to Changshan Village, the east had already turned white, and the villagers stayed up all night, waiting at the entrance of the village.Seeing Liu Ziqiu's return, Gao Xiu'er was relieved just now.

Liu Ziqiu jumped off his horse, nodded to Gao Xiuer, then threw Yang Heihu's head to Xiao Dapeng, and said, "Go, let's pay homage to your grandfather first!"

Xiao Dapeng respectfully kowtowed three times towards the new grave behind the village, presented Yang Heihu's head, then suddenly knelt down in front of Liu Ziqiu, bowed his head and said, "Brother, I will obey you all from now on!"

Liu Ziqiu helped him up and said, "Second Uncle entrusted you and Changshan Village to someone, so someone should do his best."

Wei Zheng frowned and said, "The Yang family will never let it go. We must take precautions early. Wei stayed in the village for an afternoon yesterday. This kind of defense is more than enough to deal with ordinary thieves. If the imperial army comes, it will be vulnerable."

Liu Ziqiu said confidently: "Don't worry, the Yang family dare not take revenge!"

……

Yang Jishan slept very deeply this time, he didn't wake up until the sun was three poles, his head was still dizzy, he couldn't help muttering: "Could it be that you drank too much yesterday?"

Although he had also practiced martial arts for a few days, he didn't have the Jianghu experience like Yang Heihu, so he didn't know there was such a thing as Mixiang.It's funny to say, but Liu Ziqiu's mist was collected from those rascals in Luoyang.

Yang Jishan stretched his waist, and was about to embrace the concubine who was sleeping next to him for another kiss, when he was suddenly taken aback: "You, what's wrong with you?"

"My lord, I want to sleep for a while, why..." The concubine was awakened by Yang Jishan, opened her eyes in a daze, and was about to act like a baby, when she suddenly sat up in shock: "Ah! Me, my hair !"

This concubine used to have beautiful hair that was more than five feet long, but now it is long and short, and it has become a mess of grass. Of course, the longest part does not exceed three inches.

Yang Jishan shouted: "Come on! Come on!"

Two maidservants rushed in from outside the door, but when they saw something hanging from the beam, they both screamed.After all, Yang Jishan had practiced martial arts, so he was more courageous, but he looked carefully, but there was a strand of black silk tied with a scroll.The blue silk was clearly cut off from that concubine's head, but the document was the contract he signed with Changshan Village.

Yang Jishan was furious: "Quickly, call Yang Heihu!"

Another maid came in in a panic, and said tremblingly, "My lord, no, it's not good! Yang is in charge of him, he..."

Yang Jishan had an ominous premonition, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with him!"

The servant girl was terrified, and it took a long time to say clearly: "He, he was killed, and he doesn't know where his head is!"

Yang Jishan gritted his teeth and said, "It must have been done by those loaches in Changshan Village! I'm going to the county right now and ask the prefect to send troops to flatten Changshan Village to vent my hatred!"

Suddenly I heard the concubine whose head was shaved and bitten by a dog crying and saying: "Master, you can't go."

"why?"

"Look at me here." Thinking of her beautiful hair, the concubine was very sad, and choked up, "If they wanted to take the slave's life last night..."

Yang Jishan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, the other party had shown mercy, otherwise he, the guy who ate, would have been gone long ago!After being silent for a while, Yang Heihu finally sighed: "I'll go and see Yang Heihu first, but I will take revenge for this revenge sooner or later!"

In Yang Heihu's room, a headless dead body lay beside the bed, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.Yang Heihu's two attendants were waiting in fear for Yang Jishan's lecture.

Yang Jishan covered his nose and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a letter on the table, the seal had been unsealed, he couldn't help being startled, remembering what Yang Heihu reported yesterday, he was furious.

The Yang family's laws were strict, no matter how high Yang Heihu's status was, he was still just a domestic slave, and he was not qualified to read the urgent letter sent by Yang Xuangan.Based on this alone, Yang Jishan can punish him.

Yang Jishan suppressed his anger, pulled out the letter, and upon seeing it, his expression changed drastically.

It turned out that Yang Guang was suspicious.He was able to ascend the throne of the emperor, and Yang Su's credit is indispensable.But he was afraid of Yang Sugong's high profile. When Yang Su was seriously ill, he sent people to visit him again and again, but he only hoped that Yang Su would die soon.Yang Su understood Yang Guang's thoughts, refused to take the medicine, and died within a few days.After all, Yang Su was actually forced to death by Yang Guang.

After Yang Su's death, although Yang Guang granted officials and titles to Yang Su's sons on the surface, in fact he kept guarding against them behind his back.The Yang family is also very aware of this, so on the one hand they try their best to please Yang Guang, on the other hand they are also cautious to avoid being caught.But the Yang family has seven brothers, but they hate Yang Guang to the core.Yang Xuangan had long been plotting to rebel, but he never had the chance.

Rebellion is not a trivial matter, Yang Xuangan began to plan quietly after Yang Su died of illness last year.In addition to people and money, it also needs support from all sides, especially the support of the rich and powerful.

Now in the imperial court, Yu Wenshu is the most trusted by Yang Guang and holds the most power. The power of Yuwen's family has surpassed that of Yang's family.Yang Xuangan can't compete with Yu Wenshu for the time being. On the one hand, he befriends the children of the powerful and powerful, and on the other hand, he contacts various local forces.All these actions required money, and there were many ways to make money, but Yang Xuangan was only interested in salt.

The biggest feature of table salt is the official monopoly franchise, which can bring huge profits.Of course, it is impossible for all these huge profits to be owned by the imperial court, and most of them still flow into private pockets.Those who can get a piece of the pie from the middle are all rich and powerful families from all over the world.

Yang Xuangan saw it very accurately, whoever controlled the origin of the salt would have contact with these powerful people and be able to exert influence on them.In the whole country, there are two major production areas of table salt, one is Jianghuai and the other is Yuhang.Yang Guang used to be the general manager of Jiangdu, but Yang Xuan felt afraid to intervene in the Jianghuai saltworks, so he turned his attention to Yuhang.

Originally, the six Yang Xuangan brothers were officials in the court and had been following the rules. Yang Guang had gradually relaxed his vigilance towards them.Unexpectedly, a month ago, an assassination incident suddenly occurred in the palace, resulting in the death and serious injury of two of Yang Guang's bodyguards, and Yang Guang also ordered Yang Xiu, who was under house arrest, to be executed.

But Yang Xuangan knew that what Yang Guang did was just to deceive others. He had never stopped tracking down the murderer behind the scenes, and the Yang family was also one of the suspects.If Yang Guang found out that the Yang family controlled the largest salt field in Yanguan County, with Yang Guang's intelligence and suspicion, he would be able to guess Yang Xuangan's intentions, and the Yang family would not be far from being destroyed.

Therefore, Yang Xuangan sent someone to send this urgent letter, asking Yang Jishan to transfer the operation of the salt farm to Changshan Village. The Yang family only paid [-]% of the dividend, and Yang Jishan withdrew and returned to Luoyang.Yang Xuangan was not worried that he would lose control of the salt farm because of this, after all, without the support of the Yang family, the operation of the salt farm would not be so smooth.Moreover, Li Xian, the steward of the saltworks, has benefited a lot from the Yang family in the past few years, so he should know which side his butt should sit on.After all, he just wanted Changshan Village to stand in front and the Yang family to hide behind the scenes.

At the end of the letter, Yang Xuangan emphasized again that he was asked to return to Luoyang as soon as possible, and there was a very important matter to discuss.

Holding this letter, Yang Jishan's face was uncertain.

To be honest, if he had to choose between the remote Yanguan and the prosperous Luoyang, he would definitely choose to stay in Luoyang.If this letter had come a few days earlier, he would have happily handed over the salt farm to the people of Changshan Village.But it's different now. To suffer such a shameful humiliation and let him admit defeat in desperation, for Yang Jishan, who is full of blood, it is even more uncomfortable than killing him.

But he didn't dare to ask him to disobey Yang Xuangan's order.Not to mention that the eldest brother is like a father, but Yang Xuangan did not dare to delay even the slightest of important matters mentioned in the letter.

Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge!A thought flashed through Yang Jishan's mind, he gritted his teeth, and shouted sharply: "Yang Heihu has been killed somewhere for privately opening the secret letter! Anyone who dares to talk nonsense outside, hum!"

He sneered and made a beheading gesture, and everyone was silent.

Yang Heihu is one of the most powerful servants of the Yang family. If someone killed him at home, but the Yang family didn't dare to make a sound and spread the word, who would buy the Yang family's account?Yang Jishan can be regarded as rough and fine.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Xian, the manager of the saltworks, came to Changshan Village and said that the Yang family would hand over the operation of the saltworks to Changshan Village, and the profits would be shared on a monthly basis.The villagers rejoiced when they heard the news.Wei Zheng frowned tightly, puzzled.Only Liu Ziqiu knew it well, because he had already read the letter from Yang Xuangan.

However, Yang Jishan was still a little stingy.He proposed that the previous account should be written off, and the new cooperation method would start from Dongyue.Entering the winter month, the weather is getting colder, the production of salt is not as good as before, and the profit is naturally greatly reduced.Liu Ziqiu's goal had already been achieved, so naturally he would not argue with him on this matter.

When all the villagers dispersed, Wei Zheng looked around and said quietly to Liu Ziqiu, "Wei always felt something strange about this matter. You cut the hair of Yang Jishan's favorite concubine, and you did it too much. Retaliation is unavoidable."

At this time, Liu Ziqiu no longer concealed the truth, and revealed the contents of the letter.

Wei Zheng pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's still wrong!"
