Kangzhou City is actually a military city, which was established by Yang Rong, the ancestor of Guang, after the Zhen people returned to Daguang hundreds of years ago. For a long time, it was a mixture of the Di people and the Guang people, and it was not until 20 years ago that almost all the Di people retreated to Lin'an County, and it was gradually ruled by the Guang people.

There will definitely not be a group of rabbits living next to the tiger's cave, just like the folk customs in the north of Daguang are far stronger than the Central Plains.

But it's one thing not to be weak, it's another thing to like peace, even the most fierce people don't like the feeling of precariousness, so when Yang Yi walked on the street, the people of Connecticut on both sides of the road stared at him like they had seen street rats, if it wasn't for the soldiers, Yang Yi was sure that these people would rush forward and give themselves a fat beating.

The soldiers did not want to see Yang Yi, but although the Kangzhou army could not defeat the Di people, the strength of the four government soldiers in Shuzhong was still not weak, no matter what their combat strength was, such an army was absolutely strict in military discipline first, otherwise Tao He would not be able to mobilize the Kangzhou army to attack the Di people with a military order.

Due to the anger in the hearts of the people, from time to time, some people will squeeze forward, using this silent behavior to protest against Yang Yi, a cruel and mediocre new official. Even if the soldiers of the Kangzhou Army are reluctant, they must do their best to stop these people at this time, not so much to protect Yang Yi, but to maintain the majesty of the Kangzhou Army. In such a place where the people's customs are strong, no matter whether it is right or wrong, the army absolutely must not show weakness, and the consequences will be very serious.

Yang Yi did not stop the soldiers from dealing with those people who were overly emotional, and the street rats and street tigers would not be welcomed, but the fate of the two was definitely different, Yang Yi naturally did not hesitate to be a boring tiger, at least this can ensure his safety to the greatest extent.

"Where are we going now?" Yang Yi, who was riding on a horse, turned his head and asked Ma Youdao, the deputy commander on the side.

Ma You clenched his fists and replied, "General Hui, we will send you back to the City Lord's Mansion now." ”

Yang Yi nodded, he had investigated before, because Connecticut was an existence of a military state, so there was no official position such as Assassin History, Taishou, etc., and the commander of the Connecticut Army was the supreme commander here.

Yang Yi thought for a while and said, "General Ma, after arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, you immediately bring me all the files and letters related to the recent situation in Connecticut, not only related to the war, but also the civil affairs files. ”

"Subordinates obey." Ma You's answer was unwavering, and his tone was just pure subordinate obedience to superior.

Of course, Yang Yi could see that his deputy didn't want to see him, but he didn't want to say much at the moment, maybe this guy was Tao He's person, and it was better to have less contact.

The city lord's mansion in Connecticut City is not big, and it looks a little old, and it can be seen that no one has lived in it for a while. When Yang Yi and his party arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, many subordinates and sergeants were busy going in and out to clean and repair.

Everyone turned over and dismounted, and Ma You on the side said: "The general forgives the sin, the last general only learned of the general's arrival yesterday, and the time is too tight to sort out the mansion." ”

Yang Yi waved his hand to show that it was okay, and asked casually, "Has the position of the commander been vacant for a long time?" ”

"General Hui, since the death of the previous commander, no new official has been sent from above, and it has been half a year since then." Ma You replied in a regular manner.

Yang Yi nodded, but turned his head to look at Tao Yingying, who was standing not far away. Yang Yi is now somewhat sure that Tao He's actions in the Kangzhou Mansion are not just to deal with himself, otherwise how could the position of the chief officer be vacant for so long in such an important military state. It is more likely that Tao He had a premeditated plan a long time ago, even if he didn't come, there would still be a person with a big black cauldron on his back to take office, but Yang Yi happened to run into Tao He's trap. Moreover, Yang Yi even suspected that the previous commander was not so simple as dying.

Yang Yi didn't ask any more questions, and was ready to go in first.

As soon as the group entered the City Lord's Mansion, they found that the mansion was more lively than the outside, many maids and maids were constantly busy back and forth, and there were more than a dozen craftsmen in the courtyard who were repairing the garden.

Yang Yi almost didn't laugh out loud after just one glance, these craftsmen who were repairing the garden were not like words, after Yang Yi and the others walked in, everyone else looked this way, but the group of craftsmen deliberately turned their heads, as if they were afraid that someone would notice them.

Yang Yi turned his head to look at Monkey Jian'er and Tie Niu on the side, and found that the two were smirking at him, obviously they also saw the clue, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook their heads.

The professional quality of this group of assassins is too poor, and they obviously have not done much such delicate work as assassination, how can they plant a sapling and press a head-sized clod of soil directly under the roots of the tree when they dig the soil? Otherwise the saplings will die in two days. And when such a large group of people entered the house, no one looked here, and more than a dozen strong men, crowded in that small garden, were eager to hug each other for warmth.

Yang Yi glanced at Ma You, who was directing the soldiers to deploy inside and outside the mansion not far away, and wondered if this Ma You knew that there were assassins in the mansion, it stands to reason that since Tao Yingying is still following Yang Yi now, it means that Yang Yi still has use value at this time, at least Tao He will not hurt his life.

Thinking of this, he gently beckoned to the monkey to lean over, and Yang Yi whispered: "Wait for this Ma You to leave before you do it, move quietly, and try to keep your mouth alive." ”

Monkey Jian'er nodded quietly, retreated to the back crowd and discussed with Hu Shou and the others.

Tao Yingying, who was not far away, saw that Yang Yi and the others were mysterious, and walked to Yang Yi's side and said, "I don't care what you want to do, as long as you don't leave the City Lord's Mansion." ”

Yang Yi recalled the meaning of Tao Yingying's words, glanced at her and said, "What do you want me to do next?" ”

"Wait, I'll let you know when there's news." After Tao Yingying finished speaking, she called a maid over and took her to the backyard to rest.

Yang Yi glanced at Tao Yingying's slightly lost figure with some doubts, and couldn't think of what she wanted to do for the time being, so she went straight to her room to rest, of course, under the escort of Tie Niu. The group of amateur assassins in the courtyard will naturally have monkey tips for them to deal with, but no one knows how many mysteries there are in this city lord's mansion.

Yang Yi, who had been tired all the way, fell asleep on the bed as soon as he entered the room, and when he woke up, it was already dark outside.

Yang Yi sat up from the bed, and Tie Niu, who had been guarding the house, took his coat over, and there was always a little chill in the spring night.

Yang Yi rubbed his temples, tried to sober himself up, and said in a deep voice, "What time is it?" ”

"Just after the child." Iron Bull replied.

Yang Yi was startled, not wanting to sleep for so long, and asked, "How is it outside?" ”

Tie Niu pursed his lips and said, "What else, the thorn fishing nets made by Lao Hu went down, and none of them ran away." ”

Tie Niu's face was full of displeasure, as if he was annoyed by the uselessness of that group of people, who harmed themselves and didn't play.

Yang Yi sat up from the bed with his arms propped up, got dressed in two or two and said, "Take a look." ”

The two of them walked quickly to a room in the east wing, and before they entered Yang Yi, they heard someone inside who was yelling and didn't know what to do, the voice was very loud, and the tone seemed to be scolding.

As soon as he opened the door, Monkey Jian'er greeted him with a smile: "Childe, are you awake?" ”

Yang Yi nodded and walked into the house, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a spectacular scene, five or six muscular men were pulled out of their bodies and only one pair of pants were left, and each of them hung on the beam of the room with a rope as thick as their thumbs tied to their wrists.

"Only these people?" Yang Yi wondered.

Monkey Jian'er smiled: "Of course not, there are a total of eleven people, sneakily into the backyard, and we have all caught them, don't I interrogate them separately according to the method of the childe, everyone else is locked up next door." ”

Hearing this, Yang Yi turned his head and looked at the six big men in front of him, only to see that these people were all typical images of strong men in the mountains, with dark skin, and the flesh and blood on each of them were blurred by whips at this time, but they were not fatal injuries.

In ancient times, Yang Yi never objected to such a thing as torture to extract confessions, and no one who could come to be an assassin would be a good person, and anyone who wanted to use benevolence and righteousness to influence the enemy would definitely not have a very satisfactory result.

Before Yang Yi could speak, the six big men hanging on the beam of the house spat at Yang Yi again, and scolded Yili Wala, but unfortunately the distance was too far, and the bloody saliva flew half the distance and fell.

Of course, Yang Yi would not be stupid enough to go up and be drooled, waved his hand and motioned for Monkey Jian'er to bring a stool over, sat down steadily, and raised his leg on his left knee with his right foot.

Yang Yi shook his feet, looked at a few strong men who hated and angry, and said with a smile: "I'll say a few, don't be in a hurry to scold first, you are speaking the Zhen language, right?" I don't understand either, you scold in vain, it's just a waste of saliva. ”

The strong man in the middle of the voice paused for a moment, turned around and said a few words to the others beside him, and then looked at Yang Yi angrily, and scolded in a very lame Central Plains dialect: "You... Be.. Pass... Sea... Break! ”

Dahan scolded several times in a row, and Yang Yi realized that what he was scolding was "You are a villain..."

Yang Yi was about to commit the embarrassing cancer when he heard it, obviously the strong man said it very badly, and he didn't know that the phrase "you are a bad guy" is generally not used to scold the enemy, but it is used a lot to flirt with each other.

However, what Yang Yi can be sure of now is that these people are from the Di tribe, and only the people of the Di tribe will be so eager to die by themselves.

Yang Yi stood up, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back for two steps, turned to the strong man who could speak some Central Plains dialect and said, "Can you understand me?" ”

The strong man paused when he heard this, and began to scold again, but the scolding was still those two unfamiliar and lame Central Plains words.

Yang Yi sighed and said, "If you scold me again, I will kill one of your companions." ”
