Volume 1 ● The Recalcitrant People Chapter 61

Guo Yang stayed at the Ruyun Inn, and the moon fox in the small courtyard also became a forbidden place, except for the proprietress and Anu, everyone else was not allowed to step into half a step.

Guo Yang began to issue one order after another, some were issued to Wang Huzi, some were issued to Anu, and some were issued to the proprietress, and the entire Tianshui Village was running at high speed.

As for Yan Laoer, Hu Laosi and other five people, they were handed over to Anu to deal with.

Anu's method was simple, he dragged the five fellows into a basement and tortured them for three months until they completely betrayed the king's beard.

The five men were released after recuperating from their injuries in the dark basement. They soon returned to Tianshui Village, which was a few nails that Guo Yang inserted into Wang Huzi's stomach.

Ruyun Inn began to expand its scale, and along the north bank of the small river, two rows of high-style shops were quickly built, and in less than half a year, all of these shops opened overnight.

Those who sell mountain goods, those who resell sheepskins, those who specialize in drinking, those who peddle jade, those who make bronze ware, those who buy and sell silk and linen cloth, and those who specialize in the production and sale of medicinal materials.

The two most spacious three-story buildings were built at the expense of a Ke Gongzi in Jicheng. One is a salt store, the other is a restaurant, which is not inferior to the largest salt store and the largest restaurant in Jicheng, and may even be more domineering.

The salt shop is called Dayan Haiyan, covering an area of more than ten acres, with a warehouse guarded by heavy soldiers in the front and back yards.

The restaurant is called Xinghua Village, covers an area of more than ten acres, and is also the backyard of the front store, however, its backyard is like a back garden, the water pavilion corridor pavilion, twists and turns, and several thatched halls appear quite elegant.

In order to show the grandeur, when the salt shop and restaurant opened, Ke Gongzi took dozens of great nobles of Jicheng to attend the opening ceremony, and gave a speech with emotion, and then returned to Jicheng.

Nearly half of the people in Tianshui Village were mobilized here to enter those shops to act as shopkeepers and men. As for the real boss behind it, it is said that there is another person, who it is, no one seems to ask, and no one says, anyway, every store is bought and sold in an orderly manner.

In just half a year, around the Ruyun Inn, nearly 100 shops began to open for business almost at the same time, and its prosperity once made the shopkeepers in Jicheng red.

In addition, after two "robbery" incidents, Yan Guo allocated a large amount of money to build this place into a large castle covering an area of nearly 1,000 acres, and sent a cavalry of hundreds of people to protect this commercial city.

It is said that because of this incident, some nobles in Jicheng united and wrote a letter to Zhou Tianzi, who was far away in the royal city of Luoyi, crying that this kind of behavior of attaching importance to commerce and trade was a serious blasphemy of heaven and demanded that it be resolutely banned.

Later, Ke Gongzi came forward and invited those nobles to drink wine in Xinghua Village for three days and three nights, and encouraged them to also set up shops in this new castle.

At the end of the year, on the day of the winter solstice, Kegongzi sent someone to send a huge plaque, which was hung high at the door of the castle, with three dignified ancient seals written on it: Tianshui Village.

Tianshui Village is the newly built big castle, because it is close to the prosperous place of Jicheng and is located in the main road of the four directions, it became famous for a while, and became the second only business place in the Yan Kingdom to Jicheng.

However, this name made the people of Tianshui Village dumbfounded.

Originally, they were ordered by Guo Yang to be mobilized here to act as shopkeepers and men, but they still muttered in their hearts, thinking that it was too close and too dangerous to Jicheng controlled by the Zhou people. But when this big castle was named Tianshui Village by the people of Jicheng, everyone was a little confused for a while, which Tianshui Village was their nest.

……

At the same time, Guo Yang's caravan was also ready to stop.

Wang Huzi became the undisputed first captain. However, before the mission, Wang Huzi was summoned by Guo Yang to the small courtyard Moon Fox.

"Beard, I haven't gathered for a long time, Anu has recently brewed new wine, I taste it well, just when you are about to take our caravan on the expedition, I will call you, and it will be the younger brother who will do it for you." Guo Yang spoke softly and asked Wang Huzi to sit down at the table opposite him.

The sunshine of the moon fox in the small courtyard is very good, and the wine is also very good, and the pure nine-grain green ants are poured into the coffin, and the apricot blossom reflected in it is drunk first.

There are a few new meadows in the small courtyard, and as soon as the spring wind blows, all kinds of small flowers are rushing to bloom all over the ground, unlike other places in Yandi, where the apricot blossoms have failed, and the shallow grass has just emerged.

Where had Wang Huzi seen such an elegant place, like a stupid bear, even more embarrassed than when Guo Yang and Anu first came to the Moon Fox, and the half-faced beard looked a little uncomfortable.

"Lord, the proudest thing in Wang Huzi's life is to defect to your door as a lackey." Wang Huzi held back for a long time, and finally said a word of loyalty, which made Guo Yang slightly stunned when he heard it.

"You, and the hundred or so men you brought, are all wolves, not lackeys. Besides, we have a big deal to do right now, and I'm thinking about turning you all into leopards. Guo Yang said with a smile and picked up the copper coffin.

Wang Huzi hurriedly grabbed a sip of wine, got up and said: "As long as the lord says a word, my Wang Huzi is a leopard, outside, I am a male leopard, I will bite whoever you ask me to bite, back to our Tianshui Village, I am the female leopard of the lord, you let me give birth to cubs, and my Wang Huzi will give birth to a litter for you even if he earns his life." ”

Hearing Wang Huzi's words, Guo Yang laughed, drank all the wine, and said: "With your Wang Huzi's words, I, Guo Yang, will entrust you with this thousand catties of burden." ”

When Wang Huzi heard this, his face showed gratitude, he tilted his neck, poured a pinch of wine into his mouth, swallowed it with a grunt, and said, "Good wine!" ”

"Good wine with good men, Guo Yang is happy today, let's get drunk!" Guo Yang waved his hand to put away the two copper pans on the table, took two jars of nine-grain green ants, smashed the sealing mud, and handed Wang Huzi an altar.

Wang Huzi took the wine jar and said boldly: "Lord, then we will drink it all?" ”

Guo Yang raised the wine jar and said with a smile: "Of course, drink it all, otherwise, it will be difficult to understand the weight of my heart." ”

"What's on your mind?" Wang Huzi was just about to drink, when he suddenly heard Guo Yang's words a little puzzled, so he stopped his hand and asked, "My lord, what is the burden, just say it, Wang Huzi will share it for you." ”

Guo Yang's expression was a little gloomy for an instant, but he showed a gentle smile and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the past is unbearable. Well, don't mention it, drink! ”

After speaking, Guo Yang lifted the wine jar and poured a jar of wine into his mouth like a long whale absorbing water.

"Good wine, good wine!" With a bang, the wine jar was thrown to the ground by Guo Yang, and it cracked into a pool of fragments, which looked a little shocking.

Wang Huzi didn't dare to speak anymore, and followed Guo Yang's example, drank a jar of wine in one go, wiped a big hairy mouth with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "It's really good wine." ”

"Beard, I, Guo Yang, can't stand everyone, it's a good and stable life, but I have to let the big guy follow me and toss around." Guo Yang's face was red, his eyes were hazy, and he stumbled a little when he took a step, and he was drunk at first glance.

"Lord, everyone obeys you and is willing to follow you to a great career, which is worthy of this nine-foot man!" Wang Huzi also looked a little drunk, and there was some arrogance in his words.

"Good! As long as everyone believes in me Guo Yang, I will fight for this life, and I will also give an explanation to the big guy! Guo Yang was drunk and began to whisper.

……

Just as the two were hooking shoulders and digging out each other's hearts, Anu suddenly came in.

"Young master, I brought that person." Anu looked at the appearance of the two people, frowned slightly, and said indifferently.

"Brought it so soon?" Guo Yang pushed away the mustache that was hugging his waist, and his tone suddenly became cold.

Wang Huzi was stunned for a moment, looking at Guo Yang's face that suddenly became iron-blue, and his heart was secretly shocked.

"Young master, do you want to wait until you wake up before asking him?" Anu said.

"Hehe, today's revenge, how can you wait until tomorrow to get revenge? In the past, our strength was still very weak, and that guy hid in Zhou Gou's royal city all the year round, and he couldn't move him. Now that we have the strength, even if he hides in Zhou Gongdan's bed, Lao Tzu has a way to catch him. Guo Yang gritted his teeth and said.

"That is, that guy is really hiding in Zhou Gongdan's house. However, our people quietly touched in and carried it out directly. According to the clerks, they stuffed it into a bundle of wool and got out of Luoyi City. Anu laughed.

"Bring it in, I'll have to take a closer look at the guy's face so I can remember his face. Anu, find a painter to describe the appearance of that guy, let everyone have a copy, and if we meet people with similar appearances, I will find a way to kill them. Guo Yang slowly sat down at the table and said coldly.

Wang Huzi, who was standing on the side, was startled when he heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, and he said in his heart: "This guy is really fucking ruthless, not only killed the enemy, but even those who looked similar to him were killed!" ”

Wang Huzi stood beside Guo Yang for less than four or five steps, and he could clearly feel a cold and murderous aura, which made him shiver violently, and the hairs on his back stood up at once.

Anu stretched out his hands and patted them lightly twice, and two masked men picked up one of them and walked in quickly.

The man was tall, with a mighty face and bulging tendons, even if he was dragged in like a dead dog, he was still unruly, glaring at Guo Yang viciously, and he looked like a veteran of the battlefield.

"Heh, Uncle Zhou, Zhou Taishi, didn't you defect to Zhou Gou and become a partial general of the 12th Division of King Zhou, how did you end up in such a field?" Guo Yang smiled, but there was no trace of a smile on his face!

"Phew! Shameless boy, conspiracies to catch me, and face to speak! The man said angrily, and his voice was like a bell.

"Oh, I used a conspiracy to catch you, it's shameless. Then when you were a great merchant Taishi, you didn't want to serve the country, but you actually took refuge in Zhou Gou when Chaoge City was broken, and in order to show loyalty to the new master, you personally slaughtered hundreds of merchants, civilians and slaves, that is a yang conspiracy? Guo Yang sneered.

"Phew! I, Zhou, am Yangmou, how are you doing? The man yelled.

"Don't treat you like anything. Let me tell you, I am the descendant of Guo Lu, the minister of dragon control, named Guo Yang. Guo Yang spoke, slowly approached the man a step or two, and sneered slightly.

"It turned out to be the descendants of that guy, haha, there is no way to do business, and it is a big violation of the law, and those commoners and slaves who are inferior to pigs and dogs are used to rule the country, and they want to weaken the power of our aristocracy. Phew! He will not die in the country, and heaven will not tolerate it! The man laughed and went crazy.

"Uncle Zhou, I heard that you still have four daughters and five sons, but they are all hiding in Luoyi City?" Guo Yang said coldly.

"You! You're a viper! You ......" The man was about to scold, when his voice suddenly became hoarse, and a thin cut appeared in his throat, and he began to spit blood foaming out. His eyes bulged out suddenly, glowing with a grayish-white death, but he would never see the sun tomorrow again.

"Dog thing!" Guo Yang turned around and walked to the table, took out a jar of new wine, smashed the sealing mud, poured himself a handful, and drank it slowly.

Wang Huzi, who was standing on the side, had already been shocked with cold hands and feet, trembling and trembling, where was there still the slightest trace of the momentum of the bandit leader. With his eyes, he didn't see clearly how Guo Yang's knife cut that person's throat.

Even, he didn't even see Guo Yang's knife!

……

"Young master, what to do with the corpse of this dog?" Anu asked, leaning down.

"Chop it into meat sauce, make it into buns, and take it to the steamed bun shop in Jicheng to sell it, so that those Zhou dogs can taste it. I heard that the people who can buy meat buns this year are those aristocrats. Guo Yang said lightly.
