The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

Even after Liu Ziqiu killed Yang Heihu and avenged Xiao Xin, Xiao Dapeng still believed that he was the real young master of the Xiao family.The Xie family is the head of the most prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River, and Xiao Dapeng felt a little annoyed that Liu Ziqiu didn't take him with him on such an important event as visiting the Xie family.In fact, he didn't know that Liu Ziqiu was completely thinking of him.

The purpose of Liu Ziqiu's visit here is to persuade Xie's family to give up the idea of ​​treason.Will the Xie family listen?If Xie's family didn't listen, and Liu Ziqiu already knew their secret, would they still let Liu Ziqiu leave safely?

Xiao Xin didn't want his descendants to follow the path of fighting and killing again. Although Xiao Dapeng was his grandson, he didn't have any foundation in martial arts.Xiao Dapeng's aptitude is not bad, after all, he is a bit older, although he has trained with Liu Ziqiu for a month, and he has a certain appearance, but it is impossible to make great progress.

In case the Xie family turned their backs, Liu Ziqiu believed that he could fight it out, but if he brought another Xiao Dapeng, he was not so sure.If Xiao Dapeng made a mistake, he would really be sorry for Xiao Xin's entrustment.

On a cold winter morning, Liu Ziqiu stood by the Qiantang River and waved goodbye to everyone.The villagers are all good at boating, so they picked two larger fishing boats to take them across the river.Because one of the horses died, Liu Ziqiu only took three Kunlun slaves with him, leaving A'an in the village.

Wei Zheng naturally understood the danger of this trip, and repeatedly urged: "My lord, be more careful, if you see something you can't do, you should withdraw as soon as possible!"

Liu Ziqiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Wei, please take care of the village affairs."

Gao Xiu'er felt a little uneasy in her heart. A woman's intuition told her that something would happen to Liu Ziqiu on this trip. She rushed over desperately and said, "Lang Jun, I'll go with you!"

Liu Ziqiu would not let her take risks, and comforted her: "Be good and wait at home, we will take care of that when we come back."

Gao Xiuer blushed pretty, and stopped insisting.Everyone in the village regarded them as a couple, and she continued to dress up as a woman, but until that day, she was always uneasy.

……

Li Yuan was checking the schoolwork of several sons at home, when suddenly a servant came to the door, saying that the emperor had summoned him.Li Yuan didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly changed his official uniform.

Not far away, I saw a peddler standing in front of me, and said mysteriously, "My lord, I have a good leather here, do you want to have a look?"

Originally, with Li Yuan's title and official position, no one could make irresponsible remarks when he went out and hugged him.But he did a good job in the local area, and was suddenly called into Luoyang by Yang Guang, and became a young prisoner in the temple with a job but no authority. Li Yuan immediately became cautious.So every time he went out, he only had three or five followers, and he didn't even have a car.Unexpectedly, I was blocked by a peddler halfway.

Li Yuan was a little funny when he thought about it, he was about to drive the peddler away, when he suddenly saw a piece of fox fur in the peddler's hand, the whole body was snow white.Li Yuan couldn't help but his eyes lit up, he reined in his horse, pointed to the fox fur and said, "Bring it to me to have a look."

The peddler hurriedly presented the fox fur and praised him endlessly: "Your Excellency has good eyesight. Only the best hunters on the grassland can get this fur. Look here..."

Li Yuan was an expert, he waved his hands to stop the peddler from continuing, and held up the fox fur to look at the sun.This is a piece of snow fox fur, without a single hair in it.What's even more rare is that there is not a single scar on the entire fox fur, which should have been shot into the fox's eyes by a sharp archer.

Seeing Li Yuan nodding frequently, the peddler hurriedly boasted: "Sir, this fox fur was bought by my family, Alang, from the Turkic people. There is nowhere else to buy it. See if..."

"This leather is really good." Li Yuan pretended to be casual and asked, "Who is your A-Lang? Maybe I know him and can negotiate a price."

The peddler looked around and said in a low voice, "My Alang is the eldest son of Yuwen."

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes suddenly, shook his head and said, "He, but I don't know him well. Forget it, let's make an offer, and I'll buy it."

"500 taels!" The peddler stretched out a palm and shook it.

This price is really not cheap, but Li Yuan didn't even bat an eye, he turned around and told his servant, "Go and get 500 taels and give it to him."

Li Yuan himself didn't dare to delay, took the fox fur and went straight to the palace.He and Yang Guang are cousins, Yang Guang has always been nice to him, he is a high-ranking official with a lot of money.It's just that I don't know what slander to listen to recently, so I'm on guard against him.But then again, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door.If Li Yuan really has no ghosts in his heart, why should he be so cautious?

Yesterday, Yang Guang was in a good mood after playing in Shanglin Xiyuan. When he saw Li Yuan coming in, he greeted him, "Come here, please take a seat."

Li Yuan hurriedly said: "I don't dare. I don't know what orders His Majesty summoned for me."

Yang Guang waved his hand and insisted that Li Yuan sit down.Sitting down, Li Yuan's fox fur hidden in his robe stood out, forming a large ridge.Yang Guang couldn't help wondering: "Li Yuan, what's hiding on your body?"

Li Yuan quickly got up, offered the fox fur with both hands, and said: "Go back to Your Majesty, I bought a piece of fox fur on the way, and I want to present it to Your Majesty."

Xue Ye'er stepped forward slowly, took the fox fur, and handed it to Yang Guang.Yang Guang looked at it for a while, and praised: "Sure enough, it's a good fox fur. Although it's not as good as a tribute, it's sold in Luoyang City, but I don't believe it."

Li Yuan suddenly bowed down and repeated the peddler's words.Yang Guang was suspicious by nature, this fox fur was very new, obviously it had just been hunted.Yu Wenshu and his son followed him on his northern tour, and they only returned to Luoyang two months ago.Since it is said that it was exchanged from Turks, it must have happened during the northern tour.

Yang Guang is a tyrant, but not a fool.He knew that the Turks lacked salt and iron cloth, so he strictly controlled the trade between the Central Plains and the Turks, especially prohibiting private transactions, and took the opportunity to pinch the Turks' throat.

Merchants who are qualified to trade with Turks have been recorded by the imperial court, and the Yuwen family is obviously not among them.That is to say, Yu Wenhua and his brothers had a private deal.Yang Guang couldn't help being furious, and ordered a thorough investigation.

Li Yuan hastily persuaded: "Your Majesty, Lord Yuwen has made contributions to the imperial court, and I hope Your Majesty will be careful."

"No way! How can the laws of the country be abolished lightly!" It's okay if he didn't persuade him, but this persuasion made Yang Guang even more suspicious.However, regarding Li Yuan, Yang Guang's expression softened, and he asked, "Are you still used to it in Luoyang?"

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Luoyang is a prosperous and beautiful place, and I can't think of Shu anymore."

Yang Guang laughed and said, "Let you be the young supervisor in the hall and handle some chores every day. I really wronged you. How about it, from tomorrow onwards, you will be changed to be the young secretary of the Weifu."

The Shaoqing of the Weifu is the vice-official of the Weifu, in charge of armored battles and flags, and is equivalent to the deputy director of the General Armament Department in later generations. Although he is on the same level as the Shaojian in the palace, he has more real power.More importantly, Yang Guang seemed to be less wary of him.

If you want others to not know, unless you do nothing.Although Yu Wenhuaji categorically denied that he had ever sold any snow fox fur, but he and Yu Wenzhiji had privately traded with the Turkic people, and the evidence was conclusive.What's more serious, what they traded with the Turks was precious salt and pig iron.

Yang Guang immediately ordered that Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi be beheaded.Thanks to Princess Nanyang's repeated persuasion, Yang Guang spared them the death penalty and deposed them as common people.He called Yu Wenshu over again and reprimanded him severely.

Yu Wenshu walked out of the palace gate in trepidation, just in time to meet Li Mi, who had just arrived on duty.

Li Mi hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty has seen the General."

Yu Wenshu was full of thoughts, and only waved his hand lightly.

Li Mi didn't take it seriously, and continued: "The lower officials have heard about the two young masters. Actually, the general doesn't need to worry."

When Yu Wenshu heard that there was something in his words, he frowned and asked, "What does Mr. Li mean..."

Li Mi smiled and said: "The two young masters are greedy for profit for a while, so they will inevitably do some outrageous actions. As long as the general's favor is not fading, he will recover sooner or later."

Yu Wenshu couldn't help giving Li Mi a blank look, and said to himself, aren't you talking nonsense.This was what he was most worried about. If Yang Guang alienated him because of these two incompetent sons, then the Yuwen family would really have no future.

Li Mi was not angry either, and said in a low voice: "The general should know what the emperor likes. As long as the general can like the emperor, do you need to worry?"

Yu Wenshu is a smart person, and Li Mi doesn't need to talk too much.Outsiders know that Yang Guang likes beautiful women, luxury and pleasure.But Yu Wenshu, who often follows Yang Guang, knows better that what Yang Guang likes most is surpassing all the monarchs in the past and present, and creating unworldly achievements.To put it bluntly, it is a great success.

A few days ago, Yang Guang wanted to conquest in person, but was persuaded by him.Within a few days, Yang Guang sent someone to investigate the affair of his two precious sons with Turks.Is there any connection in this?Yu Wenshu began to fall into deep thought.

……

The Xie family is the most prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, with a prosperous population.In Moling Town, there are more than 3000 direct descendants of the Xie family who are not in the fifth service. Danyang City and the surrounding villages are more or less related to the Xie family.Under such circumstances, it was impossible to hide from the Xie family's eyes and ears, so as soon as Liu Ziqiu entered Moling Town, he went to the street to inquire about the location of the Xie family's compound, without concealing his intention at all.

Here, the people in the town were still showing the way for Liu Ziqiu and his party, while Xie Yun had already got the news over there, and hurriedly reported to Xie Wengshan to thank the old man.

Xie Yun returned to Moling Town the day before yesterday, and he had already told Xie Wengshan about Xiao Xin's death.Xie Wengshan didn't have much hope for Xiao's family at that time, but Xie Yundi told what he saw and heard in Changshan Village.

Accompanying Xie Yun were the family members who went to meet Xiao Xin for the first time, and they also confirmed the changes that had taken place in Changshan Village in the past month.Only now was Xie Wengshan half-doubtful, and promised to wait for Liu Ziqiu to come and see him first.

No one expected that Liu Ziqiu would come so quickly.

Xie Wengshan couldn't help frowning, pondered, and said after a long while: "Didn't he hang you out all night that day? Then let's hang him out for two days. Arrange a few people first, and take them around the town, just waiting for the north people come."
