Chapter 18: The Dark Tide Surges
"I guess the guards are in trouble this time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Mr. Zhongde, do you know Dian Wei?"
Outside the crowd, Yang Yun and Cheng Yu did not see the whole process of Dian Wei's killing, but through the interpretation of the people around them, although it was exaggerated, they also roughly understood what happened.
"Everyone is a diner of the Xue family, although they are not familiar with each other, they will always chat a few words when they meet." Cheng Yu watched Dian Wei being taken away and shook his head slightly, as if he decided that he would not come back.
Yang Yun thought for a moment, not understanding the mystery, so he simply asked directly: "Mr. Zhongde, didn't Yang County Order promise Master Xue?" Dian Wei will only be imprisoned for a few days before being released. β
"Huh." Cheng Yu shook his head again, led Yang Yun away a little, and waited until there was no one around before explaining, "Qiming, what you say proves that you don't know Yang Xu's person." β
The blood on the street has not been cleaned up, the two of them walked all the way, the smell of blood went straight to the nose, Yang Yun experienced the matter of Pengjiazhai, but it was nothing, but he didn't expect Cheng Yu to think so, but instead looked at him and said with a light smile: "How is it?" Can you stand the smell? When the Yellow Turban thieves attacked, it was the corpses all over the field, the blood flowed like a river, and even the crops planted were a smell of blood. β
Thinking of what happened back then, Cheng Yu sighed, and then continued the topic just now and said: "That Yang Xu is greedy for money, but he is even more greedy for power. Li Yong and Wang Du have been looking for opportunities to bring him down, but they have never succeeded. You know why? β
Yang Yun shook his head.
That's because he always puts himself on the moral high ground. Although what he said just now was biased towards Dian Wei, it was also compliant and legal, so that Wang Du couldn't say a single 'no'. At the same time, he also left a way back for himself, only saying that he would do it after finding out, as for what to do, it is estimated that he will depend on the clues found later. β
"If the evidence found is not favorable to Dian Wei, I dare to say that Yang Xu must be the first person to ask for the disposal of Dian Wei."
After listening to his explanation, Yang Yun thought of the intrigues of later generations, frowned, and at the same time felt worried about Dian Wei: "Does Mr. Zhongde know about this matter, and why did it start?" β
"I know a little." Cheng Yu nodded, took a few steps back, and let go of the cart with corpses, "The guard has a fellow villager, surnamed Liu, as for what it is called, I have forgotten." β
"That Liu has no ability, but he is good at gambling, wherever there is a gambling game in the city, he will definitely participate, sometimes he is free, and even goes to participate in the gambling game in Gucheng. It's just that he gambles but can't gamble, and he always loses more than he wins. β
Gradually, the savings in his hand were lost by him, and he began to sell the family money that had been passed down for several lifetimes, but soon, he lost it again. Seeing that there was no chance of a comeback, he pressed the last thing on the last gamble, his wife. β
"Wife?" Yang Yun was a little stunned, he really didn't expect that the Liu family was this kind of person.
"If no miracle happens, then the Liu family loses again." Cheng Yu seemed to remember the situation at that time, and his face was a little gloomy, "But I didn't expect that Liu's wife was also strong, and after knowing the details, she couldn't bear to be humiliated, so she took advantage of the night to hang herself on the door beam of the county government." β
After that, as long as Liu showed up, he would be spurned and blamed by the neighbors, perhaps because he couldn't bear the pressure in his heart, or maybe he felt guilty about his wife, and it didn't take long for Liu to commit suicide by taking poison at home.
"And at that time, it was the county lieutenant, Li Yong, who won Liu's wife."
"What does Mr. Zhongde mean is that this incident was deliberately done by Dian Wei in order to avenge the Liu family?" Yang Yun's face was a little solemn, since the original incident was well known, it was easy to be associated with it, "Then isn't Master Xue in vain?" β
"I guess Master Xue also knows Yang Xu's personality." Cheng Yu couldn't help but feel a little depressed as he watched the two servants carry a broken body onto the trolley, "But doing this is better than being shot by Wang Du on the spot, at least it will buy him some time." β
"Buying time? Mr. Chung Tak means ......"
"Hey, Qiming, there are some words that have come to an end, and if you say them, the taste will change."
Cheng Yu stopped what Yang Yun wanted to say, and in front of him was Xue Fu, so he arched his hand towards him: "Qiming, I originally wanted to listen to your weird theories, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, and it seems that I have to do it next time." β
"Mr. Zhongde should not say that, it is also an honor for Qiming to listen to Mr. Zhongde's teachings." Yang Yun returned the salute and exchanged a few words of greeting before waving goodbye to Cheng Yu.
However, after passing by Xue's Mansion, he did not go home immediately, but took advantage of no one's attention and turned into an uninhabited alley. A moment later, a figure floated in the distance and also turned in.
"Your Excellency."
"Yan An."
After seeing the ceremony, Yang Yun smiled and asked, "How come you have time to go down the mountain?" Don't those little bunnies have to worry about it? β
"Hehe, with the adult's manual, the training has become easier, and with Brother Guo watching them, I am also relieved. It's just that I haven't seen the adult for a long time, so I discussed with Yan Ping to change it, go down the mountain to see if the adult has any other instructions, and by the way, tell the adult a happy event. β
"Happy event?" Yang Yun was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, "The weapon is made?" β
"Yes, Lao Zhao finally created a treasure knife according to the adult's method." Yan An thought of Zhao Yuanxi's expression at that time, and wanted to laugh very much, "Yan Ping and I were both there at that time, Lao Zhao was holding the newly punched treasure knife in his left hand and the Bailian Pu knife in his right hand, and he hesitated for a long time before he struck each other with the blades under our urging. β
"The results were not equal, and neither of the two weapons had a gap, nor did they break. It's just that it only took ten days to cast the treasure knife in Xin, but it took Lao Zhao five full years for the Pu knife, and if it was me, I would be angry to death. β
"However, according to the new sword-forging method, the loss of iron ore is very large, and I have asked the brothers in the village to mine it, but for now, it can only be produced on a small scale."
"Thanks to Lao Zhao, you go back and ask him what else he wants, and try to satisfy him as much as you can." Yang Yun didn't expect Zhao Yuanxi to master the steel filling method and blast furnace ironmaking so quickly, as long as the supply of iron ore is guaranteed, it is no longer a dream to build an army made of steel.
"Lao Zhao's request is simple, it's just a drinker, and I've already asked people to make more wine for him. By the way, my lord, I almost forgot one thing. β
Yang Yun's mind was still spinning about whether to come up with a plan for distilling liquor, but Yan An's words changed, and his expression became serious: "When I entered the city, I saw a person. β
"Who?"
"Look at the back, it looks like the person who reported to Peng Ziliang before."
"You mean Xue Yi's incident?"
"Yes, but I didn't see his face, so I'm not sure. At that time, there was a group of people around him, and he didn't know what he was planning, but when he saw me staring at them, he immediately dispersed. β
"It's the Xue family again." Yang Yun frowned, and in his heart he had already linked the matter between Xue Yi and Dian Wei, "I tied Xue Yi last time, what are you going to do this time?" β
After thinking for a while, he seemed to understand something, his brows furrowed, and he said to Yan An: "You go back immediately now, bring some people over before closing the city gate, you don't need more, a dozen people are enough, and more suspicions will increase." By the way, the newly forged knife was also brought. β
"Okay." Yan An didn't ask the reason, but said with a smile, "Just consume the energy of those rabbit cubs, and save me trouble every day." β
"By the way, my lord, Lao Zhao also wants to ask you to give the sword a name."
"Hmm...... Let's call it Modao. β
