Gangnam Province, Fangzhou.

The state city is located in Fang County, because of the thousands of miles of vertical and horizontal, the mountains and forests are all overlooked, its solid high tomb, if there are houses and get the name, the city wall is high and broad, the geographical advantage is dangerous, far better than the general inland plain city.

The peaceful years have passed for a long time, and the city defense of Fangzhou is also sparse and slack.

Originally, there was only a place to lay soldiers here, and then because the king of Luling degraded this place, the addition of the Zhichong Mansion garrison, the four gates of Fangzhou were guarded by the Zhichong Mansion soldiers and the Pu soldiers, according to the general practice, the Pu soldiers were responsible for the city gate station pile, a group of twelve people per shift, divided into three shifts in the morning, afternoon and night, and the government soldiers were responsible for patrolling around the city, once a day in the morning, noon and evening.

After a long time, it has evolved, and there are only two or three people at the gate of the city, but they have to be on duty all day, and there are only three or five soldiers patrolling, and in the afternoon, they lazily come over and walk around.

At the north gate, outside the city wall, next to the official road, there is a row of simple bamboo liao, doing some tea and food business.

At present, there is only one stall open, and in the autumn harvest season, the people are mostly busy with farming, and there is no land labor, and they also go to the river work, and the government does not requisition the people in vain this time, and will pay the people in a certain amount, and sell the strength of the whole day, and always get two or three hundred yuan, which is much more cost-effective than doing this business that depends on the sky to eat.

This old man who sells tea is also old, his physical strength is not good, and he can't do heavy work, so he continues to make a living on the roadside, boiling hot water in an iron pot, bubbling and bubbling, and there are some wheat flour cakes in the steamer, which are irregularly shaped, and look a little rough, and from time to time there is a hot sour gas.

At noon, the sun was big, it was the time to rest and sharpen, on his stall, there were three tables of guests, two tables were single-handed, in a hurry, hastily drank water, chewed two dough cakes, and went on the road to the city, and there were four people at the other table, all wearing brown clothes, each occupying a corner of the table, steady as Mount Tai, slow and logical, tearing the dough cakes into strips, and sending them to the mouth.

The old man is not used to seeing it, boiling tea soup and heating water with quick hands and feet, these people have not taken root in his stall for a day or two, and he is generous, he just waits for a good life, does not inquire, does not talk outside, only does his duty.

"Da Da Da ......"

The sound of hurried horses' hooves came, and two fast horses galloped past, and the knight was dressed in a dark color suit, with an arrogant expression, and beat the horses under the crotch with all his might, and the whip sheath flew and smashed onto the bamboo pole supporting the tea house.

The old man hurriedly ran forward, re-erected the bamboo pole, couldn't care about cleaning up, squeezed out a smile, and apologized to the guests at the table, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry for you, an old man doesn't charge money today."

"It's none of your business" was facing the old man's guest, and kept chasing the two knights, waving his hand randomly.

"Hey, you are magnanimous" The old man nodded and thanked him, turned around and looked at the two fast horses, they had arrived in front of the city gate, and the soldiers on duty stepped forward to stop them, and were whipped on the head and face, and the knight had no fear, and drove straight in.

The old man shuddered, glad that he didn't provoke these uncles from the north, and was busy supporting the tea house and taking care of the dirt inside, not noticing that his table of customers was gone.

Fangzhou Thorn History Yamen, Yaju as one, is not only the place of Fangzhou Thorn History, but also the place of residence of the Thorn History, because Wu Chongmin is still young, is a bicycle in office, the family is in the Shendu, most of the places are vacant, with Fangzhou Governor Shi Yao Chong, who came to Fangzhou to escort him, the husband and wife, plus two sons and a daughter, the population is larger, he monopolized a courtyard, and the other two courtyards were divided into Yao Chong.

As the only daughter in the family, Yao Tong is close to the back garden, with a small courtyard with a two-story embroidery building.

In this place, apart from Yao Tong himself, very few people have set foot in it.

"Little lady, there are two fast horses from the north, extremely arrogant, not an official family, but also a nobleman" A man in brown clothes, entered the attic, stood next to the stairs, and reported to him, "The little one followed their whereabouts, and after entering the city, they went to the Fangzhou Post House, and it didn't take long for them to go to the Luling Palace"

"I've been bothering you for the past few days, this little money is my little heart, you can take it and divide it" A cold female voice came from the attic, and a little maid stepped down the stairs, holding a burden in her hand, and held it to the man in brown clothes.

"Thank you little lady, the little one will retire" The man is not the first time to do things for the little lady, knowing her style, he will not treat his own people who do things, and he will take it with a smile on his face, and he will retire.

"Wait," the cold female voice sounded again, "Do you know the bandits and bandits near Fangzhou?" ”

"The little native is born and raised, and he has some ways, I don't know what the little lady has to say?" The man stopped and bowed.

"You can find a group of people, you don't need too many, but you want outlaws" With the sound of footsteps, Yao Tong slowly walked down from the attic, "Money is not a problem"

The man was a little surprised, he had been following Yao Tong's instructions for a while, and he had always only kept an eye on trivial things such as spying on the detectives, and had never done anything like buying a murderer, so he hesitated and asked, "Little lady, do you want to inform the master of this matter?" ”

"My business, don't bother my father, if you can't do it, just step down" Yao Yan's face was like clear water, and he didn't rap with him, and if he didn't agree with him, he changed his face and was not accommodating.

"The little lady is angry, the little one is too talkative, can do it, can do it, as long as there is money, there is no shortage of that kind of person" The man in brown hurriedly recycled the words, secretly annoyed in his heart, he knew that the little lady's temperament was strong, he should not be too talkative, if he provoked the little lady, he would have such a good thing in the future, I am afraid that it will not be his turn.

"Well, you go and get in touch, don't worry about the others, just keep an eye on the two people from the north, and report their movements to me at any time" Yao Tong was indifferent, and explained a few more words, "And be careful, they may change their clothes and change their appearance, don't be careless"

"Little lady don't worry, the small one is not good, these tricks still work" The man in brown swore and patted his chest with a smile.

Yao Tong just glanced at him and waved his hand to order him to retreat.

She carefully cultivated her eyes and ears, and persevered in writing letters to the gods, which finally attracted the recognition and attention of the right policy, the timing was sensitive, and it was a place of suspicion, so it was inconvenient to send her people to help, so she sent her hundreds of thousands of dollars and silks, money can make ghosts grind, and the informant sentry under her hand is not just a wave of brown-clothed men.

Stroll to a flower garden next to the embroidery building, large clusters of dragon claw chrysanthemums have bloomed, light cold incense, golden color, petals open teeth and claws, like a graceful woman, wearing a bright and mighty armor.

Yao Yan looked at it for a long time, and a smile slowly bloomed on his cold face.

Flicked the sleeves of his robe, climbed the embroidery tower, took out a pigeon, let it go, and muttered two words.

"All the movements you said are here, I will summon you and let you know"

"But I think that at this time, it is better to add more fire, this, I won't tell you"

"Giggles"

……

At night, in the courtyard where Wu Chongmin lived alone, a letterhead inexplicably appeared on the desk in the study.

Wu Chongmin scratched his head, strolled forward and picked it up, and wrote on it the movement of Fangzhou City today.

"Big brother arranged it? Or mother? Wu Chongmin pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then left it behind, "Come to find Zhang Yizhi, and go to see King Luling, presumably to convey the secret decree in the palace?" It shouldn't be an evil thing, but if not, my eldest brother will definitely make me avoid it."

Wu Chongmin didn't care much, and he burned it when he saw it, and he was very skilled.

Instead, he turned up the file on the other side of the table, which listed the land in the name of the big family in Fangzhou.

In addition to exchanging the money and silk in the hands of the big gate lords, the Shaofu Supervisor Jinta and the Silver Tower, he also secretly sent a batch to the local officials who were close to him, and asked them to redeem the land of the big households with gold and silver, which was put under the name of the Shaofu Supervisor.

"Tomorrow, I will go to this Guo family for a walk, hum, use the mountains to surround the fertile land, cut off the water source and force the replacement, and it is very profitable to take it by skill, if it is not for the master's well-informed ears, I will deceive you in the past...... If you dare to say a word, and see how your master will regulate you."

Wu Chongmin stretched, closed the case file, and went back to the dormitory with his hands behind his back. I want to talk about "The Dawn of the Tang Dynasty" with more like-minded people, " ", talk about life, and find a confidant~
