Chapter 123: Counterattack
Yang Chong was silent all the way back, Kou Jiuhui and Huang Zhen sat in the carriage, they also didn't know what to say, in the eyes of the two, Yang Chong was a little scared, in fact, the two didn't know that Yang Chong was thinking further at the moment, after experiencing life and death. Yang Chong replayed one story after another in his mind, knowing what he was worried about, because of Pei Ju and others, he was struggling in the Sui Dynasty; A few years later, Li Yuan built the Tang Dynasty, and he was Li Yuan's enemy again.
When he arrived at home, Yang Chong made a cup of tea, asked for a plate of pig's head meat, and hid in the study alone to think. Yang Chong's previous idea was to avoid these contradictions, rely on his own ability, advance to be powerful, retreat to be alone, and live a calm life. Looking at it now, it's impossible, Yang Chong is not one of those traversers whose souls possess the body to the wealthy, no matter how much he does, it is useless, once he dies, everything is empty; Only by changing this society and not letting Li Yuan get the world, can everything be improved, Yang Chong sat up straight and let out a long sigh.
Yang Chong picked up the quill pen for his autocracy, dipped it in ink made of oil, and wrote a paragraph of ideas on the paper, for safety, Yang Chong's plans for himself were written according to the simplified character sketch method of the previous life, or directly in Greek, not worried that someone could understand it when someone broke in. The quill is a thin body of wood, which can put coarse goose feathers in it and stuff the goose feathers with silk, just like a dipping pen in later generations.
Jiang Fei and Meng Kunpeng came back from the workshop and didn't bother, Yang Chong has always had this habit, every time there is a big event, he has to brew alone for a long time. It's just that the two of them carefully inquired about the assassination process, and they all looked serious, this is a bad sign, no one wants to kill Yang Chong, as long as it starts, there will be no turning back, there must be a second, third, or even more later.
But this time Yang Chong couldn't think about it for too long today, when Jin Wuxi fell, Kong Yingda came to visit, and Jiang Fei had to come forward to knock on the door of the study and interrupt Yang Chong's Silk Road; Yang Chong also changed his smiling face and came out to meet the guests, and told Wei Chili not to let anyone enter the study. As soon as Kong Yingda met, he patted Yang Chong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "We are sympathetic, in the eyes of these people, people from poor families can be slaughtered at will." ”
Meng Kunpeng and the others all showed disdainful expressions, you Kong Yingda is also a Confucian, don't be so angry when you speak, can you be afraid of others? Besides, Confucius is valued by previous dynasties, and you Kong Yingda can't be considered a poor family at all. Yang Chong shrugged his shoulders and diverted the topic and said: "Brother Kong came just in time, the limelight has not been right these days, I am going to go to the farm to hide, if you are free, go and play with me." ”
Kong Yingda also avoided trouble in Chang'an, took a leave of absence in Guozijian, was idle all day long, and agreed again and again when he heard the words; Jiang Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked the kitchen to serve the wine and food that had already been prepared, Yang Chong saw Kong Yingda sit down unhurriedly, and asked, "Brother Kong is from the Yue Guo Mansion, is there any news to tell me?" ”
Kong Yingda said unabashedly: "Just now Yingyangwei encountered an ambush in the west of the city, and more than a dozen people died, all of whom were good hands transferred from all over the city, and Yingyangfu was very annoyed. ”
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in order to participate in the Western Regions Conference, Yingyangwei from all over the country mobilized 11,200 good players, from Luoyang to Chang'an, in order to show his majesty in front of the Hu people, now he died before he left the army, and killed more than a dozen in Chang'an, the embarrassment of Yingyang Mansion can be imagined, or it is not annoyed and abnormal. The question is how could Kong Yingda care about this kind of thing, Yang Chong asked tentatively, "Who did Brother Kong listen to?" ”
"Yang Minxing said it when he talked to Hu Shitan." Kong Yingda did not hide it at all and said: "The strange thing is that a dying man said that the murderer was Wang Kai, the head catcher of Wannian County. Hu Shitan estimated that Wang Kai had something to do with your assassination, and when I heard it, I hurried over. ”
Yang Chong had heard of this person, who had a reputation as a hero in Chang'an City, unlike Jiao Jun, who was full of poisons, but he didn't expect that it was the person who assassinated him, Hu Shitan asked Kong Yingda to come, in fact, he said that he would give himself a head up. Yang Chong asked curiously, "Could it be that Wang Kai has other identities?" ”
Meng Kunpeng replied: "Wang Kai is the son-in-law of the Taiyuan Wang family, who has made military exploits at the border pass, retired at the peak, and went to Wannian County to catch the head, and he has been doing it for eight years. ”
Yang Chong immediately came to his senses and said: "No, with his qualifications and background, at least he can be a left-street envoy." ”
Meng Kunpeng hesitated for a moment and said: "At that time, people were also very sorry, and they all speculated that he had been wronged in the army, and his boss Yu Juluo was given several recitals in the imperial history for this, saying that Yu Juluo excluded dissidents and had ill intentions. Wang Kai has done a good job in the position of catching heads, and he has also solved a lot of big cases in the past few years, but he didn't expect that he was a secret person, and he made a choice to control Wannian County. Yes, although the location of the left street envoy is high, many things are not as convenient as head-catching. ”
Yang Chong smiled and said, "Fortunately, I'm fine, the imperial court will be able to find out the truth sooner or later." Come, Brother Meng, Brother Kong, let's get drunk today. By the way, Jiang Fei, I still have one to tell you in advance, so as not to forget it when I drink too much. ”
Jiang Fei just smiled lightly, followed Yang Chong into the study, Yang Chong sighed and closed the door of the study, locked it with his hand, and then in Jiang Fei's surprise, wrote the names of five people on the note, noted the official position, handed it to Jiang Fei and said: "I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you tonight, the major scholars and the yamen must have opened their nets at this moment, I'm afraid that something will happen to Jiu Hui alone." ”
Jiang Fei smiled: "I'm ready, it's you, you look very smart, do these stupid things in advance." ”
In the evening, Jiang Fei returned to the Zhongtiao Inn as usual, and Kou Jiuhui also came over with a smile after a while. Zhongtiao Inn has been bought by Jiang Fei, Hongnong Yang is a little disgusted with Jiang Fei living in Yang's house without crossing the door, Jiang Fei bought Zhongtiao Inn as a residence, and took the opportunity to control the commanding heights of this generation. The inn is not open to the public now, and only lives in the caravans, courtyards, and manors of its own family.
Jiang Fei asked Kou Jiuhui to copy ten lists, burned Yang Chong's original manuscript, and then the two of them changed into night clothes, climbed onto the roof from the backyard, and quietly slipped out of Maqian Fang from a high place, leaving all the flying knives on the door of the street shop of the patrol police. For a while, the gong sounded in Chang'an City, but no one thought that Wei Xuan just wanted to get this list, and he didn't plan to capture the people who stayed in Cambodia, and there were no more people patrolling on the street, and in the chaos, Jiang Fei and the others returned to the inn smoothly. When entering and leaving, Jiang Fei found that there were many people outside Maqianfang, and they didn't know whether they were here to monitor or protect, but no one cared about Zhongtiao Inn.
