Chapter 8: Gentle Forms of Revenge

With the long sword rushing into the courtyard is a moon-white skirt of Jian Rou, this is the first time that Yang Zheng feels that the personal force of this era can reach such a point, a white-clothed sword Rou put the fairy under the moon, but the attack is more terrible than Shura, a pair of Qianqian jade hands touched and hurt, next to each other to die, a group of assassins in her hands almost helpless.

"Young Master Yang, are you okay?" Pulling out the long sword from the corpse and wiping the blood on the corpse by the way, Jian Rou asked calmly.

"It's okay..."

Yang Zheng looked at Jian Rou, inexplicably a little stunned, usually followed Fu'er's little girl, and has been quiet, but he didn't expect the goddess to kill people is no different from killing chickens.

"There are two more who are not dead, do you want to ask?"

Jian Rou pointed at the two assassins on the ground who had a lot of air and a lot of air intake.

"No need..."

Yang Zheng shook his head, he rarely even had contact with the Yang clan in the world, and the only thing he did was to intercept Li Wei's Hu, which had nothing to do with the Li family.

"Hmm",

Jian Rou agreed, and the long sword in his hand stabbed out silently, relieving the pain of the two.

"These are some unpopular assassins, Yang Gongzi, you better be careful..."

"Hmm"

Yang Zheng found clothes to put on, and there were already soldiers patrolling the streets outside the courtyard who had discovered the abnormality, and a small group of soldiers surrounded the dean with weapons in their hands, not daring to act rashly.

After Yang Zheng opened the door, a group of soldiers looked at the corpses on the ground and were at a loss.

In the end, it was the people from the Kaifeng Prefecture Criminal Division who came to pick up the body.

The assassination that took place this night shocked too many people, and the entire elite circle of the Great Song Dynasty was shocked, in the Great Song Dynasty it was a good situation for the Zhao family and the scholars to rule the world together, and there was a bottom line for the tilting of interests and political compromises, which is not to use violent means, even if you use the most shameless conspiracy and tricks, you can't be so naked and violent.

This is a taboo in the circle of the powerful, Yang is the commander of the horse that Zhao Zhen has decreed to canonize, such an assassination not only touched the bottom line of the elites, but also swept Zhao Zhen's face.

When the Kaifeng Mansion filed a case and sent someone to investigate, the Imperial City Division under Wang Zhongzheng had already moved wildly.

Then these assassins were just ordinary outlaws, and the investigation of Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial City Division could only find that these assassins were some outlaws, and there was no clue behind the scenes.

"Hmph, I've raised such a bunch of waste!"

Even if Zhao Zhen is Renzong, he is also the son of heaven who speaks his word, and in a fit of anger, Wang Zhongzheng, who was kneeling underground, trembled with various large and small leaders, and did not dare to distinguish.

The dignified Captain of the Horse was assassinated by the assassins who broke into the mansion in a grand manner, and Zhao Zhen did not kill them and feed them to the dogs, which was already merciful.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest investigation file, and the little ones don't dare to call the shots......"

Wang Zhongzheng took out a stack of papers from his arms and handed it to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen opened the file and looked at it slowly, the records in the file are very detailed, including the lives of these assassins, and the origins are clear, and judging from the contact of these assassins, the biggest suspect points to one person, the shopkeeper of the Yamato firm, and the owner behind the Yamato firm is Li Yonghe.

"This shopkeeper and the person on this piece of paper are cleaned up, go ahead"

Zhao Zhen pulled out the list in the middle and said lightly.

"Yes"

Wang Zhongzheng respectfully agreed, bowed and retreated.

The fifteen members of the Yamato business shopkeeper disappeared mysteriously overnight, and the news soon spread throughout the circle of the powerful, and there was no action in Kaifeng Mansion and Dali Temple, and the bizarre case of releasing Buddha never happened.

Yang Zheng still lives in his small courtyard, and Yang Shu originally wanted him to move to live with him, but Yang Zheng refused, believing that the Li family would not dare to send assassins to kill him again.

Moreover, the mysterious disappearance of the shopkeeper of the Yamato firm is Zhao Zhen's final characterization of this matter, and Li Yonghe's low position is still firm, but Zhao Zhen also gave him a warning.

What Yang Zheng didn't know was that since the assassination, the area around his courtyard had been listed as a key protection object by the Imperial City Division in case such an accident happened again.

Since the assassination, Fu'er's little girl has been a few days, Fu'er has not come, and Yang Zheng naturally can't see his goddess and life-saving benefactor.

I can't see the goddess, Yang Zheng pondered how to take revenge, Li Yonghe is now the commander of the guards and the pro-army Ma Jun, this is a real high-ranking official in the army, it is definitely unrealistic to assassinate him back, not to mention whether he has that ability, even if he does, he killed Li Yonghe and Li Yonghe killed him, Zhao Zhen's attitude is definitely different, if he sends someone to kill Li Yonghe, Zhao Zhen said that he will not necessarily let him disappear.

The way of revenge can not be too rough, think about it, Yang Zheng can only start from this business, the Great Song Dynasty is rich, but it is not how rich the people are, the main thing is that the Great Song Dynasty is not very strict in restricting commerce, and it does not discriminate against businessmen, and even encourages commercial development to a certain extent, collects commercial taxes, and the development of commercial handicrafts greatly promotes urbanization, and a large number of wealthy businessmen and middle-class families have also appeared.

Winemaking is not like salt and iron, which is monopolized by the imperial court, the imperial court will issue a certain amount of wine-making licenses, even if there is no license, some small wineries still make wine-making and sell, and the imperial court basically turns a blind eye, after all, there is not much shortage of food.

In the words of Yang Shu, the Li family has been fortunate to enter the power in recent years, and life has become extravagant, Li Yonghe's fortune is rich and can not be squandered by a large family, Li Yonghe, who has no background, has given up the skin and set up a Yamato firm that can not be on the table, Yamato Dealer specializes in liquor, the wine name is Yamato Spring, and the winemaking recipe is not glorious, it was originally a family heirloom recipe of a small brewery, and the Yamato Spring brewed is spicy and strong, turbid, and after being obtained by the Dahe Wine Number, although it has been repeatedly improved, in Kaifeng Mansion, where there are many fine wines, It's still a bit out of place.

At this time, the Khitan maintained a superficial peace with the Great Song Dynasty, and trade between the two sides was quite frequent.

Wine and tea occupy a very important position in the trade, the trade of these two things is also firmly controlled by the magnates of the Great Song Dynasty, the Li family participated in the liquor trade, and sold the Yamato Chun, which could not be sold in Kaifeng Mansion, to the grassland, not to mention, the nomads also felt that the wine drunk by the literati of the Great Song Dynasty was bland and tasteless, and the wine like Yamato Chun was their favorite.

Yamato Liquor has also opened up the situation in the grassland, and even squeezed out the share of many merchants, and now it is a dominant one.

Yang Zheng is alone, has no wine, no channels, and it is a little difficult to start in this regard, but Yang Shu also told him that the Cao family, like the Li family, sells wine to the grassland, and the Cao family is the one who has been squeezed out the most by the Li family.

The wine of the Cao family is mellow and fragrant, clear, even in Kaifeng Mansion, it is also a rare good wine, and it has always been very popular in the grassland, but after the Yamato Spring entered the field, the herdsmen have thrown themselves into the arms of Yamato Spring, and now the Cao family can only sell the wine to the Khitan dignitaries.

Yang Zheng felt that the Cao family probably wanted to dismantle the Li family now, so he just had to hand them a sharp knife and watch from the side.
