This time the rabbit rose and fell, the big member of the imperial court, the commander of Pizhou Wei, Lord Han Lan, was suddenly assassinated, and he was beaten to the ground vomiting blood, he opened his eyes wide, lying on the ground just trembling and convulsing, and the hot blood of the big beach under him gushed out, and he couldn't see it.

The family members beside him screamed in shock, and the henchmen next to him shouted even more bitterly: "My lord." ”
He pounced on Han Lan, saw his adult's eyes wide open, and couldn't help crying: "My lord, you died so miserably." ”
He pointed sharply at the northwest corner of the mountain and screamed, "Over there, the Assassin is over there!" ”
His eyes were quite sharp, and he saw a puff of smoke rising from that side, and in the era of black powder, the place where the firearm was fired could not be hidden.
The henchman roared, "Capture the assassin and avenge your ......"
As soon as he finished speaking, another fierce fire burst out from the trees, and thick white smoke spread out.
With the sound of the clang, the henchman flew straight out, and then he fell to the ground, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out.
Then the henchman felt cold and numb where he had been shot, and then the pain that tore at his heart and lungs came to him, and he rolled all over the ground and howled bitterly.
He rolled on Han Lan's side, the same shocking blood in the big beach.
The crowd was even more panicked, and some people screamed and scurried like headless flies, trying to hide from the lead and find a place to take cover.
Someone shouted, wanting to come over to check on Han Lan's injuries.
Others shouted, there are assassins, catch assassins, and there is chaos in the field.
Han Daxia had a smile on his face, and he shouted softly: "Go!" ”
Throw the captured copper mountain bandit waist card in his hand to the ground, and hide it under the mountain first.
Guan Feng and Hu Yansheng glanced at each other, looking at the panicked scene at the foot of the mountain dozens of steps away, and the corners of their mouths showed a smile.
They picked up their sharp firearms, tiptoed, and followed Han Daxia down the mountain.
Soon, they joined up with Hu Employment and others, mounted their horses, and quietly headed north.
And there was still chaos in the field, the people who lost their command were running in vain, I don't know what to do, and many people were even more dazed, their master was dead, what should I do in the future?
There is no direct male of the Han family in the house, how should the job be settled in the future?
There were also quite a few pilgrims on the road, and when they saw that the Han commander of Pizhou City was suddenly assassinated, they all screamed and avoided to the side.
Then squatted or lay on the ground and looked at Han Lan over there...... The corpses of the thief and his henchmen were lying on the ground bloodily, and there were many Han family members beside them who were crying out for mourning, and they had different expressions, and they didn't know whether they were panic or happiness in their hearts.
There is also Han Lan's twenty-sixth concubine standing on the stone plate, looking down blankly, and she doesn't know whether she is happy or sad.
……
Like a thunderclap, the news of the assassination of the Pizhou Wei commander of the imperial court was spreading.
Not only has it become a hot topic in various teahouses and restaurants in Pizhou City, but it has even spread to the outside world.
If it was okay that the Zhihekou patrol of the ninth grade died earlier, the senior member of the third grade encountered an assassin and died on the spot, this matter would be a big trouble.
If you don't know, Fucheng will ask.
The state city did not dare to slack off, and immediately led some officials from the guard station headed by the judge Song Zhiyuan, such as Kong Chuanyou, the commander of the department, and others, to immediately survey the scene and successfully find a waist card left by the assassin.
The preliminary conclusion is that Lord Han has encountered bandits, and the suspicion of Tongshan bandits is very great.
The affairs of the current government are not confidential, and soon the matter of the waist card spread, and the Huang Steward of the palace, who is quite prestigious in the city, rushed to claim that when he was assassinated with Yang He, the owner of Xin'an Zhuang, he also found such a token, which should be the Tongshan bandits.
One after another, the big people were assassinated by bandits, and even the places outside the city were not peaceful, and some students of the school hall were angry and wrote to the book, and the bandits were rampant.
In the boiling of public sentiment, the Zhizhou Department is inside.
Pizhou Zhizhou Su Chengxing is playing chess with his fellow acquaintance Zhang Kuixiang slowly.
He is a native of Tangyi, Shandong, fifty-seven years old, not far from returning to his hometown, at this time he held a white chess piece, quietly listening to the report of the judge Song Zhiyuan: "Judging from the signs, the Tongshan bandits are indeed suspected of committing murder, but the Han Mansion said ......."
"Huh?"
Su Cheng looked fierce, and his bearded face was quite angry: "But what? There are important people who have encountered bandits one after another, and the old man is disgraced, do you know what the gentry outside say? Pizhou City has become a den of bandits! Search and kill the bandits inside and outside the city, and there are bandits everywhere, not like words! ”
Song Zhiyuan bowed his head and said, "...... Yes, yes, the subordinate is commanded......"
When Zhou Zun was angry, he knew that Zhang Kuixiang was like an old monk, and after Song Zhiyuan left, he put the black chess in his hand somewhere: "My lord, the next official has taken this step." ”
Su Chengxing was stunned for a moment, pointed at him and smiled: "Ah, sneak attack old man, you old fox." ”
……
For the grievances of the civilians, Pizhou City began to sweep the bandits inside and outside the city, except for the Tongshan bandits, of course, which was the matter of Xuzhou officials, and at the same time, the affairs of the health office were taken over by Kong Chuanyou, who was commanded by the department, so as not to delay the luck in the coming year.
For hundreds of years, there is often more than one commander of a guard, but although these people are also official ranks, they have no real power, regardless of affairs, and are called officials.
In general, all the guards have the official seal and the secretary officer, who is in charge of the whole guard, in charge of training, tuntian, transfer and supplementation, etc., in addition to these real power officials, there are also many acting officials, and generally have no power in their hands.
This is the case with Kong Chuanyou, who was pressed by Han Lan in previous years, but now that Han Lan is dead, it is impossible for the guard to be no longer than the guard, and he is the oldest and the oldest among the officials, if he doesn't take over the affairs of the guard, who will take over?
After he took over the guards, he also actively cooperated with the state and city authorities, mobilized officers and soldiers, severely cracked down on bandits in and around the city, and exterminated more than a dozen bandits with dozens of people in a nest, and achieved fruitful results.
In the voice of killing bandits, it is not without dissent, for example, it is rumored in the Han Mansion that it was not the Tongshan bandits who assassinated Lord Han, but may be Yang He, the owner of Suining Xin'anzhuang.
However, this statement was scoffed at by all parties, and Kong Chuanyou, the director of the Department of Defense, who took over the affairs of the health center, said privately: "The surviving people are grieving excessively, and their words are nonsense, so you don't need to care. ”
Soon after, the city of Pizhou was boiling, and it was rumored that the Han government had colluded with bandits, and even the bitter lord went to the state government to complain, and the Han government was naturally busy defending.
Then there was a dispute between the wife of the Han Mansion and the twenty-six concubines, and the Han Mansion family Ding found a way out by himself, swept the silver two and even kidnapped the concubines, and the matter became more and more chaotic.
In the midst of the strife and chaos, only people may have noticed that the official document of Suining Zhixian County on the appointment of Yang He, a student of Suining, as the general manager of Suining Lian, was quickly passed in the state city, and then quickly reported to Huai'an Fucheng.
The commander of the Pizhou Health Department sent Kong Chuanyou to send his henchmen to carry generous gifts and congratulate Yang Lian.
Yang He accepted the kindness of Commander Kong and returned the salute.
Like Kong Chuanyou, Suining and Pizhou congratulated many people on giving gifts, and Yang He, the owner of Xin'an Village, suddenly became a celebrity.
In the midst of the situation, Yang He calmly watched, and finally saw the situation clearly, and smiled at the people around him: "There is a lot of help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust, and there are too many people offended by Han Lan." ”
The snipe and the clam compete, the fisherman profits, and there are many people who benefit, such as Commander Kong, who is the most direct beneficiary.
Pizhou Zhizhou Su Chengxing, perhaps also one.
Whatever their reason, they must have tried their best to dissociate themselves from the assassination.
This is also a good thing, black cauldron, let the copper mountain bandits carry it.
Next, it's time for me to avenge Lord Han.
……
At the end of November, Xin'an Market opened, although the market is still very rough, the ground is just ordinary dirt soil, the market is surrounded by wooden fences, sewer ditches are just like that, and the centralized buildings are just ordinary stalls and shacks.
However, the villagers still crowd the bazaar, and the vendors who sell commercial goods can find a place to sell in the bazaar by paying a low venue fee.
The more advanced vendors can rent a stall shack, pay a certain amount of booth fee, and then sell it for a day.
Yang He's principle is to implement a low tax system, and the tax must be paid, but even ordinary hawkers can afford it.
After all, it is the stage of cultivating the market, and this tax cannot be high.
At the same time, there are also high-end merchants who choose the location and are ready to build shops, such as Huang Guan, who plans to build rice shops and grocery stores.
Merchants can buy and lease land in the bazaar, and the price varies, but at present, the surrounding merchants are still in the wait-and-see stage, and there are not many people buying and renting.
But the first market day of Xin'anji is still lively, and it seems that the villagers from the surrounding villages have come, dragging their children and daughters, and it is very lively.
Xin'anzhuang also has a day off, except for the necessary guards, the rest can go to the market to catch up and spend.
Nearly 10,000 people crowded a market, standing on the wall of the south gate of Xin'anzhuang, you can see the bustling scene over there, and there is a sense of peace and prosperity.
Looking at the bazaar in the distance, Yang He had a smile on his face, this area is developing better and better.
