Fu Song

Chapter 438 Disaster
In Zheng'an County, Yang Cong looked at the four corpses lying in a pool of blood, and the muscles on his face twitched.

Big trouble!

How did he kill someone?
It's just to ask people to scare the officials in the government who are allocating the land. Why did they cut them off?

And one of them is Cao, the seventh-rank household who is serious about the Eight Classics.

His hands trembled for a while, and he glanced blankly at the surrounding crowd.

"Who did it? Who did it? Stand up and don't hurt everyone!"

He roared at the top of his lungs, but everyone around him kept his eyes on his nose and his heart, avoiding his gaze.

"Erlang, no matter who did it, I'm afraid that this disaster will eventually fall on your head." A low voice came from beside him.

Yang Cong turned his head angrily, and what he saw was a clean-up guest from his house.

"Fart! When did I let them kill?"

Qingke squeezed to Yang Cong's side, and said in a low voice: "Erlang, you didn't let them kill, but the murderers were your subordinates. If these people were arrested, what would they do in order to escape the crime?" Do?"

Yang Cong shuddered.

What would it do?
Does this need to be said?
Of course, they put all the blame on themselves, saying that they are the mastermind, the mastermind, and they are just obeying the master's order.

"What should we do now?"

Qing Ke said in a low voice: "Erlang, there is no other way now. Xiao Futai's severe punishments and laws have always been extremely strict for aristocratic families and wealthy families. Now that you kill officials, the law is not only a word of death, I'm afraid it will hurt the family."

"Look for elder brother, find elder brother, let him find a way!" Yang Cong's hand twisted the muscles on his thigh fiercely, and he tried to stay awake with bursts of severe pain. "Also, immediately send someone to Nanbei Town, Bozhou, to find the Patriarch."

"You can't go to the Patriarch!" Qing Ke shook his head again and again: "That's asking for death."

Yang Cong's eldest brother is Yang Bin.

Under the control of Tianping Army, one of the six armies of Guizhou Road, [-] tigers under his command were stationed in Zunyi Mansion.

Although the head of the Yang family in Bozhou is still Yang Qing, Yang Qing is getting old and feeling powerless, so he recruited Yang Quan back and gradually handed over the affairs of the Yang family to Yang Quan.

Although Yang Qing is old, he sees things very accurately.

Even more than three years ago, when Xiao Cheng and Luo's ghost country went to war, when Sizhou Tian's family was vacillating, he still supported Xiao Cheng. At the last moment, he even coerced the Zunyi army to enter the Luo's ghost country together. , happened to meet Xiao Cheng and his party who were chased by the ghost country elite after the successful raid.

After the establishment of Guizhou Road, Xiao Cheng rewarded him for his merits, Yang Qing became the prefect of Zunyi Prefecture, and Yang Bin, the other house of the Yang family, became the commander of the Tianping Army.

In the past three years, Zunyi Mansion's status on the entire Guizhou Road has gradually declined.

There is no other reason, it is because a series of policies such as the land contract responsibility system implemented on Guizhou Road are extremely difficult to implement in Zunyi Prefecture.

The Yang family's children are self-reliant on their meritorious service, and regard Zunyi Mansion as Xiao Cheng's reward for their Yang family. After a few years, the Yang family's power has expanded rapidly, which is contrary to the entire Guizhou Road's policy of suppressing land mergers and dividing land to households. Today, the Yang family is wantonly annexing land in the entire Zunyi Prefecture and monopolizing business.

But for some unknown reason, on Guizhou Road, they took a tolerant attitude towards this move of the Yang family.

But people can vote with their feet.

The free flow of people on Guizhou Road, without the restriction of household registration, made the people of Zunyi Mansion flee one after another to find opportunities in other places.

The Yang family didn't pay attention to this matter in the first two years, but in the third year, the loss of population caused a lot of arable land to be uncultivated, so they became vigilant.

At this time, the entire economy of Zunyi has been far behind by other places.

If it weren't for the support of Renhuai's wine industry, the economic data would be even more ugly.

And because old Yang Qing was too old, he didn't have the energy to control the entire Yang family, so he called Yang Quan back to replace him, and at the same time reversed the unfavorable situation in Zunyi.

Yang Quan is Xiao Cheng's steadfast supporter. He has followed Xiao Cheng since he came to Qianzhou, and he is very clear about the policy on Guizhou Road. Since his return, Zunyi Mansion has forcibly spread out the division of land to households.

The first step in dividing the land to households is to clear the land property.

In the entire Zunyi Mansion, besides the Yang family, who else occupies the most property?
Yang Quan's six relatives did not recognize him, and sent officials to investigate everywhere. As long as a problem is found, no matter who it is, it will be retired and punished.

All of a sudden, the Yang family complained everywhere.

People who wanted to complain to the old Patriarch headed towards the Yang family's old house in Nanbei Town, Bozhou, but these people couldn't even enter the town, so Yang Quan sent someone to beat them back with sticks.

The Yang family is entrenched in Zunyi, and they don't know the changes in the outside situation, let alone Xiao Cheng's personality.

But Yang Quan has followed Xiao Cheng for many years, but he knows it all.

If you can't keep up with Xiao Cheng's pace, you will inevitably be ruthlessly eliminated next.

Now Xiao Cheng's indifference to Zunyi is another form of playing hard to get?

After a few years, Zunyi has fallen behind by the naked eye. If this continues, won't all the hard work of the Yang family be in vain?

Yang Qing is getting old, his heart is soft and his hands are soft, so he has no choice but to deal with this big family ruthlessly.

Yang Quan is different.

In his opinion, all the bent branches should be cut off, leaving only the part that can become a talent, so that the Yang family can thrive and thrive.

In the eyes of the Yang family, this guy who was in charge of the punishment of the entire Guizhou Road was a man with a dark heart and a black hand.

The four corpses were quickly cleaned up, and all the insiders were brought under control.

"What should I do?" Inside the secret room, Yang Cong looked at the group of confidants and asked tremblingly.

After all, the fire cannot be contained in the paper.

If this matter leaks out, people's heads fall to the ground, I'm afraid it will be light.

"Erlang, there is only one way to save your life now."

"What's the way, tell me!"

"The only one who can save your life is General Dalang Yang!" Qing Ke lowered his voice and said, "Dalang holds the power of an army, right now, he can only go back to Guizhou Road."

Yang Cong was dumbfounded.

"In the entire Zunyi Mansion, there are only [-] garrisons under Dalang's command." Qingke said: "The other armies are either confronting Dali Kingdom, or gathering around Guiyang. Old Patriarch, when the time comes, the entire Yang family in Zunyi Mansion, whether they like it or not, will move with Da Lang, otherwise everyone will die if things fail."

"Well, how can this be done?" Yang Cong shook his head like a rattle, "So what if we capture the old Patriarch? Even if the entire Yang family in Zunyi Mansion is rebellious? When Xiao Futai turns around, we will do the same." It's a dead end."

"Erlang, you're thinking about it!" Qing Ke chuckled, "The imperial court has been eyeing Xiao Cheng for a long time. If the Yang family is against them, they can't wait for it. After the incident, they immediately asked for help from all around, and kept Zizhou Road and Jinghu Lake safe. Two groups will come to rescue immediately. What will Xiao Cheng do then? Dare to mobilize the army to encircle and suppress Zunyi? If he really dares to do this, he is afraid that the Dali army will come to fight immediately, then Xiao Cheng will be defeated !"

Yang Cong's heart skipped a beat.

"But the Patriarch won't agree, and Yang Quan won't agree either!"

"Erlang, what do you want them to do? When Dalang catches them, he will naturally be able to control the situation, and Dalang will naturally become the new head of the Yang family." Qingke said.

Yang Cong suddenly realized.

"Master Lu, take my token and go to Zunyi to talk to my eldest brother in person." Yang Cong took a deep breath: "I'm here in Zheng'an County, so I need to get ready immediately."

Master Lu, who rode out of Zheng'an County, looked back at the city wall of Zheng'an with a happy smile on his face. After more than a year of planning, he finally found a chance.

Lu Min, a native of Hebei, is a member of the Hu Yi Township Party.

The original intention of coming to Guizhou Road was to join Hu Yi, the transit envoy, to seek a future, but he never thought that Hu Yi would be miserable in Guizhou.

Unlike Hu Yiyan, who is masterful and inferior, this Lu Min is quite strategic.

Soon, he saw that Zunyi, Qiandongnan and other places were out of step with the whole Guizhou Road.

Now, the opportunity finally came.

This time, he only needs to convince Yang Bin to turn against Xiao Cheng, and he will be done.

At this moment, places around Guizhou Road, such as Zizhou Road, are indeed ready to support the turmoil in Zunyi Mansion at any time. On this point, Lu Min did not lie.

Form an established fact and dig a piece of meat from Guizhou Road.

As long as it succeeds here, then Qiandongnan may follow suit, and Guizhou Road will suffer a lot.

The horse gallops fast, but the heart is extremely happy.

Yang Cong killed someone, and he killed an official, so he was not afraid that Yang Bin would not submit.

In the fifth generation of the Yang family, there are only two brothers, Yang Bin and Yang Cong. Yang Bin is a martial idiot, but he accidentally let himself get a hidden danger. No matter what, he would never give up on his brother.

Even to save his younger brother, he had to turn against Xiao Cheng.

Moreover, there are high-ranking officials of the imperial court waiting for him!

If Yang Bin was asked to turn against Da Song, he would definitely not do it, but if he was told to turn against Xiao Cheng, he would not feel so much pressure in his heart.

Just as he was triumphant, the horse stumbled and fell to the ground. Lu Min immediately became a rolling gourd. Before he could react, there was the sound of arrows whistling in his ears, and the two guards screamed a few times. He fell down from his horse and remained motionless.

Lu Min paled in shock.

With the sound of footsteps, a pair of thin-soled fast boots appeared in front of his eyes.

"Are you going to find Yang Tongzhi?" The well-dressed man covered his face, only showing a pair of eyes, staring at Lu Min at the moment.

"Who are you?" Lu Min trembled.

The well-dressed man smiled and said: "Zhiqiuyuan, have you heard of it?"

Lu Min shook his head blankly.

"Have you heard of the Statistics Department?"

Lu Min's expression changed in shock.

The Statistics Department is a department in the Futai Yamen. It usually does some data statistics and analysis, but this is just their appearance. Inside, the Statistics Department exists like the Imperial City Department. It is used by Xiao Cheng Inquire about news and kill dissidents' special departments.

"Zhiqiu Academy belongs to the Department of Statistics." The visitor said with a soft smile, "Aren't you going to see Yang Tongzhi? I'll take you there."

"You, who are you? If you let me go, I promise you a bright future, and you don't have to fight for your life in Guizhou!" Lu Min didn't want to give up hope of life.

The well-dressed man laughed: "My name is Wu Ke, have you heard of it?"

Lu Min suddenly despaired.

The director of the statistics department, Shenlong, has never seen the beginning and the end, and he has never seen it, and his name is not even known to outsiders. The deputy director, Wu Ke, is well-known and is one of the most famous people on the road in Guizhou.

Who do you think you are, to actually want to give such a person a future?
With a click, Wu Ke squeezed Lu Min's chin off, so that this guy wouldn't get overwhelmed and gossip and kill himself.

Although Futai said before that it is impossible for a person to kill himself by chewing his tongue, but Wu Ke has never found a chance to try it, so he still believes in this for the time being, and be careful when sailing for thousands of years, this is his iron law.

Unlike Yang Congsheng, who was a handsome scholar with a red face and white teeth, Yang Bin, who was in command of the Tianping Army, was a big black man with a height of eight feet, broad arms and a round waist. spread out.

This is a titan.

Standing on the troop counting platform, seeing the soldiers and horses under his command come and go with the change of formation flags, Yang Bin, who has always been serious, finally had a smile on his face.

The Tianping Army was reorganized from the merger of the Yang Family Army of Bozhou and the Zunyi Army. On the whole, its combat effectiveness was slightly lower than that of the Sirius Army and Tianwu Army, and it was far worse than that of Futai's pro-barracks.

Not to mention Han Yan, that is Futai's confidant, and the selection of talents and equipment configuration of Futai's pro-military personnel are all unique and incomparable.But Yang Bin didn't want to lose to Wang Zhu and Fan Yifei.

After three years, the combat effectiveness of the Tianping Army is still getting stronger day by day. As long as they fight two more serious battles, they will definitely not be inferior to the Tianwu Army of the Tianlang Army.

If you want to talk about the current gap between the three armies, it is nothing more than the fact that the Heavenly Wolf and Tianwu armies are stationed at the junction with Dali. When the two sides are in friction, they have seen the truth.

Yang Bin was looking forward to the war with Dali, wishing he could fight it right away.

In this way, he doesn't have to stay here and train every day.

An officer came trotting all the way from the gate of the camp, and rushed up to the general's platform in two or three steps.

"General, Director Wu is here!" The officer handed Yang Bin a name card.

Yang Bin frowned. As a commanding general, he naturally rejected guys like Wu Ke.

However, the prestige and role of the Statistics Department could not prevent him from daring to be negligent. Among other things, he at least knew how important the Statistics Department's intelligence had been in the battle against Luo's Ghost Country three years ago.

In the future, he will also go to the front line, and he also needs detailed enemy intelligence, and none of these can do without this guy named Wu Ke.

As for the Director of the Statistics Department, everyone has always suspected that there is no such person at all.

Or this position is the master of Futai.

"I'll go to greet you!" Yang Bin, who looked tough and rude, was actually a delicate person.
