The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 464 Assassination, instigating family rebellion

Chapter 460 Assassination II, Instigating Family Rebellion

In Liaocheng, the Hu family is a well-known aristocratic family in the city. Its ancestors can be traced back to the Northern Dynasty.

Later, he firmly supported the establishment of the Sui Dynasty and the rule of Emperor Wen, so the power of his family was extremely powerful and should not be underestimated. In the generation of the Hu family, the head of the family was named Hu Yi.

Because Hu Yi was well versed in the darkness of the officialdom, coupled with Yang Guang's arbitrariness after he succeeded to the throne, Hu Yi abandoned his official position and went to his hometown to start a business. industry.

Liaocheng was the place where he made his fortune, and his industries spread all over the city. Before Yu Wenhuaji came here, the local county magistrate didn't dare to offend the Hu family at will.

Although Hu Yi has been away from the officialdom for many years, his extensive contacts still exist. Therefore, the Hu family has become the local emperor of Liaocheng.

However, today is different from the past, the originally quiet and low-key Hu Mansion has erected pure white filial flags around the mansion, and the whole family, regardless of age or sex.Even the servants are dressed in filial piety.

This is actually holding a grand funeral!

For a moment, the onlookers couldn't help but marvel, and then they all secretly guessed suspiciously, who in the Hu family died again?

"Hey, that's not right. I remember that the old man in the Hu family passed away last month, and they held a funeral in a big way. Why is there another funeral today?"

"That's right, that's right, I remember that there seems to be no old people in the Hu family. How could they hold funerals for no reason? It's unbelievable!"

"Oh, don't worry about it, how can people of their level be taught by ordinary people?"

For a moment, the crowd watching couldn't help but point and point, some were joking and sarcasm, but they were people who had no sympathy anyway.

In fact, all of this is due to the usual Hu family's misconduct, often relying on family power to oppress goodness and rob people's daughters, which has already angered the people of Liaocheng.

Therefore, all the people in the city have been persecuted by him, and it is too late to applaud, how can there be time to sympathize?
At this time, suddenly, a young man dressed in black and wearing a veil sneaked into the crowd with a sword in his hand, staring coldly at the open door of the mansion. fear.

This person is Zhan Zhao, the commander of the shadows, and this tragedy in the Hu Mansion is inseparable from him. As for the dead, it was the son of the Hu family and the son of the Li family who were in the "tea shop" that day. The children escaped with the excuse of going to the toilet.

The other humble scholar had outstanding swordsmanship, and even had a great time fighting with the shadow members who were going to assassinate them, without losing the slightest advantage, but because of the large number of shadow members, they were finally injured and fled.

The reason why Zhan Zhao chose to assassinate the children of the aristocratic family was because he learned about the Hu family's family from the No. [-] mouth of the shadow and scarlet letter, and knew that his family background was prominent, so he did the killing.

After all, if such a prominent family background is not used, it would be a waste of resources to deal with the old thief Yu Wenhuaji. Therefore, assassinating his son is only the first step, and the key step is to start implementing it.

Zhan Zhao, who is wearing a black hat, cannot see his real face, but his shiny scabbard flutters with the wind. Although his sword has not been sheathed yet, the extremely cold ice front is faintly daunting!
Immediately, Zhan Zhao coldly turned around and boasted to the beam, suddenly, he saw dozens of shadow members dressed in black, wearing bamboo hats, and spinning swords looming on the beam.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of shadow members disappeared without a trace.

But in the blink of an eye, countless shadow members were seen floating down from the gate of Hu's mansion, and then without stopping, they wantonly split the erected filial piety flag and filial obedience with the sharp sword in their hands.

It can be said that the shadow members smashed extremely hard, and in a short time, they destroyed the grand funeral of the Hu family. At this time, Hu Yi, the head of the Hu family, couldn't help running out quickly, shouting: "Who is it that is against my Hu family? It's so deceiving!"

The wind and sand blew past, but only a few wind and sand responded to him. The shadow was still following and destroying the funeral as always. Seeing this, Hu Yi couldn't help being furious: "Okay, okay!"

"Housekeeper, summon the family guards, and chop up this group of thieves who eat inside and outside for the head of the family."

At this moment, Hu Yi was really angry. Normally, Hu Yi's self-cultivation was very high, but now he was so angry that his face was so gloomy that the housekeeper couldn't help but feel shuddering.

Immediately, the butler hurried into the mansion with a feeling of apprehension, and summoned the family members.

In fact, this is also human nature. If someone is old and his son is assassinated for no reason, and even the funeral is not missed, how many people can maintain the calmness they deserve?

In fact, Zhan Zhao was also resistant to this kind of thing in his heart, but the task was bigger than the sky, and in order to destroy Yu Wenhuaji as soon as possible, he had no choice but to make a bad move.

"The Hu family, I'm sorry, there is a certain mission in hand, if you want revenge, go to Yu Wenhuaji, he killed his son in order to rob your family of food."

At this time, Zhan Zhao, who was wearing a bamboo hat in the crowd, also showed a trace of pity under his little-known face, but it just passed by in a flash, and he was resolutely taken away in a blink of an eye.

For Shadow, they often walk in the rivers and lakes, are on the underworld, and do some unspeakable things, so they must not be emotional.

After all, once they become emotional, they may not only risk the failure of the mission, but may even lose their lives!

It's just that when the butler gathered a group of family guards to go out of the house, the shadow almost completely destroyed the filial piety he had inserted.

However, today's Hu Yi can't swallow this breath, and shouted: "Hit me, kill a man in black, and reward ten thousand gold."

It has to be said that at this time, Hu Yi has really moved his hands. Although Wan Jin is insignificant to the rich, it is a huge sum of money to the ordinary housekeepers.

Maybe even if the servant works hard for half his life, he won't have ten thousand gold assets!

However, for Hu Yi at this time, he only needs the damned man in black to die to relieve his anger, and money doesn't matter.

Wan Jin, the temptation to the servants is undoubtedly huge, suddenly, he saw many servants guards holding wooden sticks, and the wooden spears rushed forward, heading straight for the direction of the shadow.

After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian prohibited the private manufacture of weapons by the people, so even wealthy families in various places did not dare to manufacture weapons privately.

After all, being found out is a felony that is implicated, and no family is willing to take the risk, which is why today's Hu family servants attacked with wooden sticks.

I saw that just as the servant guards were getting closer and closer to a shadow, a black shadow came straight from bottom to top.

Its speed was so fast that the naked eye could no longer see clearly, and the sharp blade at its waist flashed past, and suddenly, several family guards fell into a pool of blood, and the blood flow continued!
This scene immediately frightened the rest of the servants, and they all stopped, fearing that they would be the ones who would die next time, their formation was in a mess, and they had no combat power to speak of.

To put it bluntly, these people are just ordinary servants who take care of the house and protect the courtyard. They bully and bully ordinary people on weekdays.

Zhan Zhaocai gradually returned after witnessing the deterrent of the servants, and then said loudly, "Hu Yi, I tell you, be more honest."

"Otherwise, today's lesson is just a piece of cake, and tomorrow will be the day when your family will be wiped out!"

For a while, Zhan Zhao used his rough tone to make threats, and Hu Yi was so angry that his face turned livid and terrified.

It was indeed frightening. With the strength Zhan Zhao showed just now, he could sneak into the mansion at night and wipe out his family.

After some threatening words, Zhan Zhao had a premonition that the plan had been achieved, a faint sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he said softly, "Withdraw!"

After the order was passed, Zhan Zhao and a group of shadow members jumped into the crowd and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

However, the total tragedy at the scene made Hu Yi, the head of the family, extremely angry, and there were many people who observed this scene, and they were discussing secretly at this time.

Immediately, for the sake of face, Hu Yi ordered his servants to clean up the outside of the mansion, and then closed the door tightly to avoid the limelight!
However, the moment the housekeeper entered the door, he accidentally picked up a complete and flawless letter on the ground.

······
Minfeng Tea Shop, inner floor

At this time, Zhan Zhao had already returned here, and immediately, Scarlet Letter One couldn't help asking in a low voice; "Commander, I wonder if we can be sure to force the Hu family to rebel and attack Yu Wenhuaji this time."

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao took a few sips of the tea brewed on the table, and said slowly: "During the fight, I intentionally left a letter on the ground and lost it."

"The details contained in it recorded Yu Wenhua and his idea of ​​attacking the rich people in the city because of the lack of military rations."

"As long as we think about it, Hu Yi will definitely think that we are sent by Yu Wenhuaji, whether it is the pain of losing a child, or to protect the interests of the family."

"He, Hu Yi, will definitely rebel. We will just wait and see the good show. When the city is in chaos, we can take the opportunity to open the city gate, let King Qi enter the city, and take over the city."

After some analysis, at this moment, members of the shadows, even Scarlet Letter No. [-], admire Zhan Zhao very much. This is the highest state of truly killing people invisible, framing people and framing them!

Hu mansion, main house

At this time, the housekeeper showed his loyalty and immediately handed over the letter he picked up to the head of the family, Hu Yi. After receiving the letter, Hu Yi immediately read it.

Immediately, Hu Yi couldn't help being devastated, and shouted angrily; "Ah, old thief Yuwen, I, Hu Yi, are at odds with you!"

Since Hu Yi was an old Jianghu who came down from the officialdom, he knew that Yu Wenhua and the remote Liaocheng would be impoverished. Therefore, Hu Yi gave Yu Wenhua and a lot of military supplies at that time.

However, after reading this letter, Hu Yi was extremely sad. In a flash, Hu Yi seemed to understand all the causes and consequences.

"Yeah, it seems that Ming'er also died at the hands of the old thief Yuwen, otherwise, in this Liaocheng, no one has dared to deal with my Hu family."

After some deep thinking, Hu Yi followed the vine and figured out that the cause of his son's death was related to Yu Wenhuaji, so he didn't stop and sent an order; "Hurry up and inform Patriarch Li and Patriarch Hong, and say that I have found the assassin." Let them come to the mansion as soon as possible."

Hearing this, the butler didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly took the order to retreat, and went to report the order!

At this time, Hu Yi, the head of the family, couldn't help but face the wall, staring at a corner of the wall in silence, and tears burst out unnaturally.

After a long time, Hu Yi said slowly: "Minger, don't worry, my father will definitely let the person who assassinated you die without a whole body. As for the head of the old thief Yuwen, my father will take it tonight and sacrifice it to you."

Time flew by suddenly, and after a long time, Patriarch Li and Patriarch Hong who received the news rushed over, and then Hu Yi took him to the inner room, and passed the letter to them to read without waiting for them to ask.

After watching slowly, Li and Hong couldn't help gnashing their teeth, cursing Yu Wenhuaji.

This time, not only Hu Yi's son was killed by the shadow, but also Patriarch Li's son died. Although Patriarch Hong's son was not dead, he became a useless person.

During the fight, in order to escape for his life, Mr. Hong's lower body was kicked off by a shadow member. After being diagnosed and treated by a doctor, the final result was that he was severed...
Therefore, when they learned that their enemy was Yu Wenhuaji, they were furious, and then Patriarch Li asked first, "Patriarch Hu, what do you think should be done now that the matter has come to this?"

Hearing this, Hu Yi forcibly calmed down, let the grief dissipate, and turned into a look of hatred, his eyes were cold, and said coldly: "I am going to gather my troops tonight, secretly enter the government office, and take the old thief's head class."

"I called the two of you here to ask if you want to do it together tonight to avenge your hatred!"

In Liaocheng, the Hu family is the most powerful family, followed by the Li family and the Hong family. Once these three families unite to rebel, it will definitely cause chaos in the city, and the consequences will be extremely dire!
Because Hu Yi had been in the officialdom, he knew that the Xiaoguo army was once the elite of the world, although now it has fallen into Pingyang, and it is no longer what it used to be.

However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Hu Yi still didn't dare to underestimate the combat power of the Xiaoguo army, so he thought of bringing Li and Hong's family together to fight together, adding an insurance policy.

Hearing this, maybe Li and Hong hated Yu Wenhua deeply, anyway, they settled down very quickly, and then Hu Yi began to direct.

"Brother Li, Brother Hong, I have been in the court before, and I know very well the combat power of the Xiaoguo Army. It is inevitable that Yuhuahua will counterattack at that time. We cannot just attack blindly like this."

"In Yu Wenhuaji's army, I remember that the two elder brothers have placed their own troops in. I wonder how many people you can incite to rebel at this time?"

Immediately, the head of the Li family pondered for a while, and said, "There are two generals in the army, and my Li family has been very kind to them. As long as I give an order, they will definitely fight back."

"The two of them together can dispatch five thousand people."

Immediately afterwards, Patriarch Hong also said that he was able to instigate more than [-] people, and informed Hu Yi.

Immediately, Hu Yi estimated, and said: "The old thief Yuwen has a total of [-] troops, of which [-] are Xiaoguo troops, and the two elder brothers have rebelled against [-] troops, so it is enough."

"When we were young, we took the opportunity to attack the government office. Even the old thief Yuwen would not be able to mobilize all the Xiaoguo troops to escort us in a hurry. We have a great chance of success."

"If it doesn't work, we will open the city gate and let the Qi army arrayed outside the city enter the city. Then we will capture and kill the old thief in one fell swoop."

It has to be said that Hu Yi is worthy of being a person who has struggled in the officialdom, and he is extremely proficient in the way of life, even thinking about the back road of the rebellion!
"Since this is the case, the two elder brothers should go to contact each other and raise troops at midnight tonight."

"Just be careful, don't let the wind leak, this is related to the safety of our family."

······
Following Zhan Zhao's planning, an undercurrent surged in the city!
