The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

Xie Weng Shan winked at Xie Yun.Xie Yun understood, cupped his hands and said: "Nephew, can you allow us to discuss for a while?"

"Senior, please go ahead!" Although Xie Yun changed his address, showing a bit of intimacy, Liu Ziqiu did not follow suit, but reminded, "This matter should not be delayed for a long time!"

Most of the Xie family are scholars, and bloody scenes like this have not been seen for nearly a hundred years.But after all, it is the most prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, and it still handles things in an orderly manner.

Two maidservants came earlier and asked Liu Ziqiu to go to the side hall to take a bath and change clothes.Someone brought clean clothes for Ah Fu and the others to change into.The corpses of more than a dozen thieves and four house slaves were also carried out, and the doctor of Xie's family came to inspect them one by one, secretly speechless.These corpses have only one wound, and all of them are fatal in one blow.

The only ones who are difficult to deal with are Wang Zimao and Luda.Before Mr. Xie and the others discussed the results, they could neither be released nor arrested. Fortunately, they were still unconscious.Mr. Xie's family checked their injuries and they were fine.Lu Da was hit on the head by the handle of Agui, but Wang Zimao was knocked unconscious by Lu Da.But with Ah Fu and the three of them watching, there is no need to worry that the two of them will look for opportunities to escape.

If Liu Ziqiu knew that Xie Zhiwen, the man who didn't look like a man, was mediating all of this, he would definitely look at him with admiration.

……

In the back house of Xie's family, the three Xie Wengshan brothers were sitting together again, Xie Yun was still standing beside them, they were faced with a difficult choice, there were only two ways to go right now.

The first way is to report to the officials according to Liu Ziqiu's suggestion. This may be the best way to get Xie's family out of the incident, and even get a reward from the court.But at the same time, the centuries-old friendship between Xie and Wang's family will be completely disintegrated, and they will turn against each other.

The second way is to kill Liu Ziqiu and apologize to Lu Da and Wang Zimao.Although this incident was very serious, it was still within the scope of the Xie family's compound. With the strict laws of the Xie family's family, they would not worry about the news leaking out.The problem is, both Xie Wengshan and his son have seen Liu Ziqiu's skills with their own eyes, so no one can kill him.

The faces of the four people were extremely ugly, Xie Wengshan suddenly said in a deep voice: "No! There is a third way to go!"

Xie Wengming and Xie Wengda said in unison: "Brother, tell me!"

Xie Yun also looked at Xie Weng Shan nervously.

Xie Wengshan let out a sigh of relief, and said: "We can only persuade them to abandon their previous suspicions and join hands!"

Xie Wengda frowned and said, "Isn't that going to tell him what he planned?"

Xie Wengshan waved his hand and said: "This person is exactly the talent that my Xie family lacks. Isn't that what everyone is looking for him for? You have to tell him sooner or later, why don't you take this opportunity to check on him again!"

……

It is said that it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.Liu Ziqiu has been served by Sister Ninglu Ningshuang for two days, and he has already begun to enjoy this "rotten" life.He stretched comfortably in the tub, straightened up and said, "Change."

These two young maidservants are not young like Ninglu Ningshuang, when they help Liu Ziqiu take a bath, they make teasing movements with their hands from time to time, but it's a pity that Liu Ziqiu's concentration is too strong to be moved.Now Liu Ziqiu stood up, they wiped his body and changed his clothes, but their eyes kept on looking at that spot, it was so big that they wanted to reach out to touch it.

Suddenly, another maid said outside the door: "Mr. Liu, my family, Alang, has an invitation."

The two maidservants who just waited for Liu Ziqiu to take a bath sighed secretly, knowing that they would never have another chance.

……

Before the banquet started, it was turned upside down.Although the hall had been cleaned, there was still a smell of blood in the air, so this meeting was arranged in a flower hall in the back house.Here, outsiders are rarely allowed in, which shows that the Xie family is paying more and more attention to Liu Ziqiu.

The flower hall is not big, but it is divided into two rooms inside and outside, separated by bead curtains.There are some famous people's calligraphy and paintings hanging on the outer wall, and evergreen flowers and plants are placed in the four corners.In a corner of the room, a woman in a costume lowered her head and was fondling a Yaoqin, and two pairs of beautiful girls were dancing.

Liu Ziqiu was led down to the inner room by his maid, only to see Xie Wengshan and his son coming to greet him.Liu Ziqiu even said that he didn't dare, and still invited them to go first, and divided the guests and hosts into their seats.

The interior decoration is even more luxurious than the exterior room, but there are only three mats, three sets of tables, and the dishes are also rich, but there is no wine prepared.Xie Yun patted his palms twice, and a maid came out from behind and offered tea.

Liu Ziqiu knew that this was an important matter to discuss, and tea was substituted for wine.However, drinking tea in this day and age needs to add some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. Liu Ziqiu is not used to it, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "Thank you senior, the tea is free, and the younger generation can just drink some plain water."

Xie Yun said with a smile: "This is a new way of drinking tea invented by my little girl, just try it."

Liu Ziqiu took a look at the teacup from the handmaid, but did not add those messy things.Picking it up and sniffing it lightly, there was a faint fragrance, and he couldn't help laughing, saying: "The tea is good tea, but it's just that it can't be brewed properly."

Xie Wengshan frowned, but then remembered that Liu Ziqiu was an ordinary person, so he was relieved, waved his hand, and said, "Go get some condiments."

Liu Ziqiu hurriedly stopped him, and said with a smile: "The old man misunderstood. With those things added, it is even more difficult to eat, so it is already very good. If you want to talk about the tea scriptures in detail, you can't finish it in three days and three nights. It's important to talk about business."

Xie Wengshan nodded, and said to Xie Yun: "Let them in."

The bead curtain was lifted lightly, and three boys and girls came in, the one in the middle Liu Ziqiu knew, was Xie Zhiwen, grandson of Xie family's eldest son.The expressions of the three people were different, Xie Zhiwen was still calm, the boy on his left had a bit of admiration in his eyes, and the girl standing on his right suddenly had a pair of big eyes, clearly revealing curiosity.

Although the young man next to him was not as good-looking as Xie Zhiwen, but he was somewhat heroic, and Liu Ziqiu liked him more.As for the girl, Liu Ziqiu was astonished as a heavenly being, like a character in a painting.

While hesitating, the three of them bowed deeply to Liu Ziqiu at the same time, and said in unison: "Thank you son for saving my father, please accept my worship!"

In fact, the goal of the famous servant of the Wang family is not only Xie Yun, but if Xie Wengshan also owes Liu Ziqiu's love, the debt will not be easy to repay.It is the wisdom of the Xie family brothers and sisters to only mention the grace of saving their father.

Knowing that they were Xie Yun's children, Liu Ziqiu would not let them bow down, hurriedly stood up and saluted: "This is a matter of duty, nothing to worry about, Liu can't afford it, can't afford it."

This is also the truth, if he hadn't revealed Luda's identity, this killing would not have been provoked, where would Xie Wengshan and his son be in danger?

Brother and sister Xie Zhiwen naturally wouldn't really bow down to a little Lizheng, so they went along with the flow and stood up to say goodbye.The maidservants also withdrew, and there were only three of them left in the room.

Liu Ziqiu didn't sit down, but cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, senior, I don't know how the discussion went for the proposal just now?"

Xie Wengshan stroked his long beard with his hands, nodded and said: "The Wang family indeed colluded with the Hebei bandit Lu Mingming, intending to rebel. But, you know, the Xie family has also participated in it. Reporting to the police at this time may be self-defeating."

"Oh, there are other things like this? How dare you ask the old man?"

"Yang Guang has no way, and the people are in poverty. Mr. Liu is a master of martial arts, why not..."

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand, interrupted Xie Wengshan's words, and said: "Liu knows that the Great Sui Dynasty will not last long, but what does this have to do with Xie's family? I often hear people say that a thousand-year-old family is a hundred-year-old dynasty. No matter who is in charge of the world , the old man just wants to be his own rich man, so why bother with this muddy water?"

Xie Yun sighed and said: "Nephew, you don't know something."

It turned out that since the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, no one from the Xie family was an official in the court.No one in the family is an official, what kind of gentry is it called?Every time a new official takes up his post in Danyang, it is unavoidable to come to Xie's house to scrape the land.After more than ten years, the Xie family's land has decreased by [-]%.If this goes on for another few decades, the Xie family's reputation as the most prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River will not be guaranteed. I am afraid that this big family will find it difficult to support them, so they took the risk under the lobbying of the Wang family.

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said, "Senior thinks too far. According to Liu, the Sui Dynasty will not last ten years. Ten years later, it will be another world. Why risk the lives of thousands of people in the whole family?" Odd danger?"

"Ten years? How did you know that?" Xie Weng Shan was startled. If Liu Ziqiu's words were true, then there was really no need to take this risk.

"Yuan Tiangang, County Magistrate of Yanguan, have you ever heard of it before?"

"Yuan Tiangang! If he said it, it would be somewhat believable."

Liu Ziqiu secretly laughed in his heart, this old magician was also planted by me today.

But Xie Yun asked again: "Yuan Tiangang's divination is like a god, did he ever say who can sit in this world?"

Liu Ziqiu couldn't help thinking of the note on the top of the mountain.The world is superstitious, and often a nursery rhyme can confuse many people.Who can deny that the prophecy on the note that "Li's family will replace the Sui Dynasty" wasn't Li Yuan's trick?

"The secret must not be leaked." Thinking of this, Liu Ziqiu smiled mysteriously and said, "Anyway, it's not the Wang family, nor those thieves from the north."

Since Liu Ziqiu said so, there must be no future for rebelling with the Wang family and Lu Mingyue.Xie Wengshan and his son were silent, they really wanted to know who would replace Tai Sui so that they could make friends in advance.It's a pity that Liu Ziqiu refused to say anything, and there was nothing they could do.However, there is no need to mention the matter of convincing Liu Ziqiu to abandon the past and join hands with the Wang family and Lu Mingyue.

Early the next morning, the Xie family organized dozens of guards to escort Wang Zimao and Lu Da to Danyang County.Moling is only a dozen miles away from Danyang, and it arrives in an instant.Hearing that it was a major case of treason, Zhao Jun, the prefect of Danyang, did not dare to neglect, and interrogated him immediately.

That Wang Zimao has been pampered since he was a child, he has never seen such a posture before, without using torture, he has poured beans into the bamboo tube and confessed everything he knows.Lu Da wanted to take it hard at first, but after reading Wang Zimao's confession and being tortured again, he gave up.

Lu Da is Lu Mingyue's younger brother, and he knows more about the inside story. There are many details in the confession, so Zhao Jun couldn't help but not believe it.While sending people flying horses to report to Luoyang, while writing to Wu Jun, let them monitor every move of the Wang family.

Wang Zimao and Lu Da have to bite Xie's family, but Xie's family made a statement when they reported to the official.Zhao Jun got a lot of silver from the Xie family, so he naturally wanted to excuse the Xie family.The two of them got hit once by biting each other, and after a few times, they never dared to mention it again.

In order to thank the family for reporting to the official, Liu Ziqiu stayed in Moling for another five or six days before packing up and preparing to return home.

Xie Yun personally sent him to the entrance of the town, turned around, quietly took out a piece of red paper from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Ziqiu, saying: "This is the Geng Tie from my little girl."
