Chapter 2 The Yellow Sparrow (Seven

Compared with the important towns of Jingshi and Luoyang, Linqing City is not big. ｛，。 Head. The oath that Dou Jiande made in public at the gate of the yamen spread throughout the city in less than two hours. The people will be skeptical, and no one will be sure that what a notorious bandit says will count. But what happened next made everyone completely understand Dou Jiande and Gao Shida, Zhang Jin said that these people are indeed very different. After the new boss of Douzigang entered the government office, he did not release all the prisoners who had been sentenced to heavy sentences by the government as good men like the previous two, but carefully examined the files kept by the government, screened out those involved in the "gangster" case, those who were slandered and imprisoned by large families, and those who were sued for very small matters, and let them go back to reunite with their families. For those felons involved in murder, burglary, and adultery, the original verdict was upheld, and those who should be questioned and beheaded, and those who should continue to be imprisoned did not show any extrajudicial affection because the other party was a fellow in the rivers and lakes.

Under the influence of Yang Shanhui, the officials of Qinghe County enforced the law very strictly, because the prison of the government was overcrowded. Dou Jiande had been a head catcher before, and Song Zhengben and Kong Deshao were also local officials, Rao was like this, and the three of them still spent a full five efforts to complete all the cases. After some combing, the number of prisoners in the prison has been reduced by 70%. The suspicion of the people outside about Dou Jiajun quickly decreased to as few as the prisoners in the prison.

No matter which dynasty he is in, Lord Qingtian is always the most popular among the people. Even if this Qingtian master's background is really vague. The people are not stupid, and they will compare in their hearts. Zhang Jin said that what he had done here, what Yang Shanhui was doing here, and what Dou Jiande was doing, everyone could see. In contrast, it is self-evident who is more worthy of believing and who is more worthy of support.

As soon as confidence is restored, the vitality of the market is also restored little by little. Firewood, rice, oil, salt, and household use all need to be obtained through trading. The market is often the place where the information is most concentrated, and the true and the false, the daily routine, are quickly spread when buyers and sellers pick up the goods and count the money.

"Dou Tianwang is a good person, he is different from other big bosses!"

"Dou Tianwang is stronger than Yang Juncheng, at least he is not confused."

For several days, similar talk abounded. Of course, there are also people who are still on guard in their hearts, and when there are no soldiers patrolling nearby, they mutter, "How do you know that the surname Dou is stronger than Yang Juncheng?" Maybe he's pretending! ”

"Well, you have to speak with your conscience. In the past, how many taxes were levied by those errand officers of the municipal bureau, and now how much tax is levied by Dou Jiajun, don't you know how much tax they take? Immediately, someone pricked up his eyes and whispered a retort to his companion.

"Isn't it? I used to be eaten for nothing by others, but I didn't see you so bold. No one took your stuff for nothing today, but you have itchy skin, don't you? Out of various psychology, the peers next to him also stepped forward and condemned those who "slandered" Dou Jiajun.

"Before, it was for banditry? If it weren't for the bandits......" the denouncer would still not be convinced, but the voice became even lower, almost inaudible.

"Bandits, I'm sorry. is also a bandit, and after taking so much money, he didn't do anything. What's the end of the day, it's not like the family is going to be killed! The peers did not understand the plight of the denounced, and their voices were instantly raised higher.

In the last four or five years, Yang Shanhui has been defeated many times, and a large part of the money needed to regroup each time will be distributed to the vendors. In order to appease the anger of the people and find a reasonable excuse for raising taxes, the government usually described the consequences of bandits entering the city as very miserable while collecting them. Over time, people will naturally form a false consensus, that is, all the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes set by the local government are forced to be levied because of the existence of robbers such as Zhang Jincheng, Dou Jiande, and Cheng Mingzhen. The officials are forced to be helpless, everyone wants to hate, and they should also hate the bandits, and they can't be considered greedy or incompetent.

Witnessing Dou Jiande's performance in the past three days after entering the city, everyone's original unfounded consensus naturally disappeared. At the same time, many people have a feeling of being deceived. If they had known that the Dou family army was so well-behaved, why would everyone have pooled money to help Yang Shanhui raise soldiers. Let Dou Jiajun come in for a day, and he wouldn't have lived so hard a long time ago. Not to mention that it is rare to have food and clothing every day, if you don't pay attention to being found by the government one day, you may be ruined. Even if Dou Jiande's current behavior is pretending, at least he is quite kind, and he will not cut off everyone's heads because of a small mistake of a penny. (Note 1.)

The condemned did not dare to fight back. Dou Jiajun's minions are patrolling not far away, in case they listen to it, isn't it pure that he is not at ease? "It's just that I pity Yang Gong, his old man......" looked around, and he sighed in his heart. Yang Shanhui was indeed ruthless in attacking people who had something to do with bandits, but over the years, Qinghe County has also relied on a Yang Shanhui, so it was not like the neighboring Xiangguo and Wu'an counties, which were ruined by bandits and had no place to live. It's just that his kindness was so quickly forgotten by the people who were protected. was betrayed by the rich people in the city, captured when the city was broken, tied by the Dou family's ropes, dragged across the long street like a dog, these things should not have been seen, or they saw it, but they all had nothing to do with them.

Yang Shanhui was captured alive by Dou Jiande on the day the city was broken. At that time, he found that he was unable to return to the sky, so he had the idea of burning the jade, and rushed down the road with more than 20 dead soldiers, and rushed straight to Dou Jiande's banner. Before they had completed half of the estimated journey, the dead were swallowed up by the sea of people. Yang Shanhui was exhausted from slashing several people, but at this time, he found that all the minions besieging him had retreated.

The target is in front of you, salute yourself with a knife. He shouted for Yang Shanhui, and concentrated the last strength of his body to pounce. He expected that he could die with Dou Jiande, but the gap between the martial arts of the two sides was too big. Just by looking at him, Dou Jiande knocked down his weapon. Then he turned around and pressed the knife against his neck.

"Kill me!" Yang Shan will turn his head and test the blade with his neck. Dou Jiande's withdrawal was faster than his neck, quickly dodged, and then swept a leg, knocking him unconscious on the spot.

For such a guy who doesn't know what to do, the Dou family army can't wait to break it into pieces immediately. Dou Jiande couldn't resist his love for talent, and ordered everyone to tie up Yang Shanhui and put him in prison, and first polish the arrogance in his heart before making a decision.

Dou Jiande tried the case for five days, and Yang Shanhui was locked up in prison for five days, and as soon as he woke up every day for the first three days, he immediately scolded Dou Jiande. On the fourth day, he finally couldn't scold anymore, grabbed the wine sent by Dou Jiande, ate and drank, and then covered his head and fell asleep. On the sixth day, looking at the empty prison and his cellmates who were full of hostility to him, he didn't even have any interest in eating and drinking, and with a little smoke, he smiled and said to the minions who guarded him: "Is Dou Da Boss done?" If you go and say I want to see him! ”

The minions are staring at him every day, afraid that he will seek death, and they are hoping for early liberation. Suddenly, I found that his tone had changed, thinking that he had really been smoothed out of his arrogance as Dou Jiande said, and hurriedly ran to return to the big boss.

Dou Jiande was discussing with Song Zhengben, Wang Fubao, Cao Dan, Cheng Mingzhen and other civil and military cadres in the second hall how to take Wuyang County at the lowest cost, and when he heard that Yang Shanhui would give in, he was overjoyed. Immediately ordered someone to remove the shackles for Yang Shanhui, bathed and changed clothes, and welcomed the second hall to taste tea as a distinguished guest.

The minions took the order and left. After a while, Yang Shanhui packed up and entered calmly. Seeing that several of the main figures of the Dou Jiajun were there, including Cheng Mingzhen, who had defeated him many times, he sighed and threw his hands at everyone. "The Great Sui Qinghe County Cheng Yang Shan Hui, I have seen all the heroes!"

"Yang Gong doesn't have to be polite. We admire Yang Gong, like a seedling waiting to be revealed. Dou Jiande took the lead and returned the salute with a smile.

There are big bosses who take the lead, and others can't help but follow. or with a straight face, or with a smile, they greeted Yang Shanhui one after another.

After the greetings, the guests and hosts took their seats. Without waiting for Dou Jiande to speak, Yang Shanhui preemptively said: "Meng Dou is in charge of the family, let Yang introspect himself in prison." I have also thought clearly in the past few days, the Great Sui Dynasty is now in decline, and there is indeed no one to return to the sky! ”

When Dou Jiande heard this, a sincere smile immediately bloomed on his face, "Since Yang Gong has seen it clearly, why don't you join our army to conspire for a great cause?" Yang Gongzhi's talent is comparable to wind music, and with time, why worry about him not eating in the future. ”

"I had this ambition when I was young, but who would have thought that it would be so far!" Yang Shanhui sighed and looked at everyone in the audience again. He didn't expect Dou Jiande to be reckless, and he could chew words like a reader when he spoke. I didn't expect that there were so many familiar faces under the command of Dou Jiajun, Song Zhengben, Kong Deshao, Ling Jing, Wang Zhongqing, He Simou, these people turned out to be his colleagues, and it was inevitable that they would be a little embarrassed to meet each other on such an occasion at this moment. Therefore, they all tried their best not to meet his gaze, but the expression on their faces seemed to be a clear exhortation, "Descend, just like us." Dou Jiande is a person with imperial energy, and he will never be obsessed with the past. ”

"The former prince is fishing with a white head, who dares to bully the old man?" Listening to Yang Shanhui's sigh full of unwillingness, Dou Jiande thought that his mind had been shaken, and continued to give bitter advice.

In his words, he quoted allusions to the alternation of Shang and Zhou, and compared the other party to Jiang Ziya, who assisted King Wu of Zhou in his war. Song Zhengben and Kong Deshao heard it and nodded with a smile. Wang Fubao, Shi Zhan, Yang Gongqing and others couldn't understand it, but they also knew that this was a very powerful compliment, and they also looked at Yang Shanhui with a smile, waiting for his reply. Only Cao Dan was not very happy, his eyes widened and he was eager to try, just waiting for Yang Shan to say the wrong word, so he jumped forward and took him out and hacked him to death.

"Your Majesty is deaf, but he is not a cruel and unkind lord." Yang Shanhui shook his head lightly and retorted in a low voice, "And Yang's talent doesn't dare to compare with Jiang Taigong." General Dou has great ambitions, and he has so many civil and military generals under his command, and he can restrain the soldiers, and he has no offense with the people. The business of the king must be just around the corner. But in this hegemony, Yang doesn't want to add any more icing on the cake! ”

"Why is Yang Gong so stubborn?" Dou Jiande didn't expect Yang Shanhui to suddenly change the direction of the conversation, and he was stunned when he heard it, and asked directly.

"It's very simple, it's just a matter of a minister!" Yang Shanhui arched his hand, and his smile looked very peaceful. "These days, I've scolded and scolded enough, and I have figured it out. General Dou has an open-mindedness, vision, and ability. Yang is not wronged at all by your capture. But the society will be destroyed, and there must be no ministers without death. The general will win the championship in the future, and he must not want the civil and military troops under his command to turn against each other immediately after they are defeated? ”

Cao Dan finally understood the last half of the sentence. was so angry that his eyes widened, and he rushed forward directly, "Since you don't descend, what the hell are you talking about." Lao Tzu will give you a good time, and it will save you from wasting food! ”

Without armor and shackles, Yang Shanhui has regained his usual flexibility. Half a step back, avoiding Cao Dan's Feng Ying. Then he bowed his hand very politely, and said without humility or arrogance: "General Dou's kindness, Yang didn't dare not report it, so he came to beg for death." But with the general's skills and character, he is not qualified to be the one who raises the sword! Otherwise, Yang will not be blind! ”

"You***!" Cao Dan threw himself into the air and roared loudly in anger. "If it's against you, you'll have to pick and choose when you are stabbed!"

was about to pounce again and seal all the retreats of Yang Shanhui. Dou Jiande slapped the table hard, and shouted: "Bastard, do you still have me in your eyes?" ”

"I ......" Cao Dan was unconvinced, and stared at Dou Jiande with a pair of red eyes. Dou Jiande's brows were furrowed, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife. As soon as the eyes of the two were aligned, Cao Dan was immediately defeated. Gritted his teeth and complained aggrievedly, "He, he didn't interrupt the surrender at all, you, you bothered to ...... effort"

"It's a blessing for you and me to have an opponent like Yang Gong!" Dou Jiande glared at him again, hating iron and not steel. Looking back at Yang Shanhui, his smile was immediately full of regret, "Yang Gong, why don't you think about it anymore." I really don't want to do anything for Dou, and Dou can also give you a soft sum to let you live for the rest of your life. ”

"Forget it, General Dou's affection, Yang has it!" Yang Shanhui shook his head and refused, "At this moment, I'm afraid that the gentry in the city want me to die." Yang has been running for them for more than ten years, and simply fulfilled their last wish. If the general doesn't kill me, the people here will be uneasy. If the general doesn't kill me, I won't have the shame to grow old under Lin Quan. It's better for everyone to save trouble, and it's a hundred today! ”

After speaking, his gaze swept over the faces of the civil and military officials around Dou Jiande. swept Song Zhengben, Kong Deshao, Yang Gongqing and others, and fell directly on Cheng Mingzhen's face.

Cheng Mingzhen knew that something was wrong, and quickly twisted his head to the side. Yang Shanhui stuck it up reluctantly, and gave a salute, "Yang has rarely been defeated since he led the troops to suppress the bandits. Even if there is a small setback, you can learn a lesson and turn defeat into victory. Only I have missed you twice, and one time ended worse than the other. In the general's opinion, is this a fate? ”

"This...?" Cheng Mingzhen was forced to have nowhere to escape, and responded with a deep groan. "Yang Juncheng has been suppressing bandits for ten years and has killed more than 10,000 people. But the more bandits are suppressed, this is the time, the luck? ”

"This?" Yang Shanhui was also asked, frowning and groaning.

"People want to live well!" Cheng Mingzhen smiled bitterly and said in a vernacular that everyone could understand: "Rich and powerful adults want to live well, and ordinary people who have no money and power also want to live well." If the two are like different furnaces, Yang Juncheng thinks, which one is born to die? ”

"This..."Yang Shanhui paused again, looking at Cheng Mingzhen, as if he had never seen each other. After a moment, he let out another long sigh. Cheng Mingzhen and Dou Jiande each gave a deep salute, and then strode out.

On the same day, Dou Jiajun beheaded Yang Shanhui at the school field. Three days after the hanging, he was buried with the ceremony of the late Sui County.

Note 1: Penny abandonment method. A kind of harsh government in the Sui Dynasty. It is believed that no matter how big or small the crime is, if the offender has no intention of repenting, he should be killed. Even stealing a penny can be punishable by death.
