Although Xiaocang Mountain is sinister, it is a place to stay, although the cottage is dilapidated and small, it is the capital of the comeback, Yang Hao cherishes everything in front of him, he is willing to spend all his energy to take care of all this, although Cao Zhou is greedy, stupid, violent, and unwilling, but left Yang Hao with a thick family foundation:

A treacherous mountain with a radius of 400 miles, a cottage that is easy to defend and difficult to attack with a dangerous peak, according to legend, 10,000 Khitan iron horsemen besieged Xiaocang Mountain on all sides in a certain year, and there was no progress in three months, which is a bit exaggerated, but according to Yang Hao's field investigation, if there is no inner ghost to guide the way, it is really not easy for three or five thousand people to break through the cottage.

The food hoarded in the cottage is enough to eat for a year, the gold and silver property is discounted by no less than one million, and more importantly, the 470 soldiers in the cottage are all young adults between the ages of 16 and 35, and there are no old people to support, and there are no weak and disabled people to take care of.

There were twenty-eight women in the cottage, the youngest sixteen years old and the oldest thirty-eight years old, none of whom had never given birth, because half of these women were prostitutes from all over the country who had been taken in, and the other half had been forcibly ingested a poisonous herb that could cause sterilization, so that they could not conceive.

Cao Zhou once said that before he married, others should not want to marry a wife and have children, those who have a family when they join the gang, the end is often very miserable, either the wife is separated, or the wife and daughter are raped by him, and they can't fight him, or die or go,

Xiaocang Mountain guards the traffic arteries, because of the geographical convenience, you can eat and drink enough by pulling out the geese in transit, Cao Zhou is fierce internally, but externally it is a servile face, through the non-stop tribute, but also for the cottage to create a relatively safe external environment,

Yang Hao thinks that if he wants to quickly establish authority in the cottage, he must change his course and make some differences with Cao Zhou, after taking over as the owner of the village, the first thing he did was to take out public funds to build their own houses for the eight older leaders, and then marry wives and have children for them.

Soon after, he announced that the soldiers of the village could marry and have children when they reached the age of twenty-five, and that the cost of marrying a wife would be borne by themselves, and the rest would be borne by the cottage.

Disabled soldiers have two options: one is to be discharged and return to their hometowns with huge sums of money; The second is to stay in the cottage for the elderly, and all the expenses required for the pension are borne by the cottage.

Cottage hired tutors, set up schools, invite famous doctors, set up medical centers, all cottage brothers and their families can enjoy it for free,

Yang Hao announced these articles, the top and bottom are happy to worship, no one dares to take a look at the position of the owner of the village, and place the housekeeping, Yang Hao will take the tribute to the Khitan Lotte, B room, Wukui and other ministries to contribute to the gift, these tribes around Xiaocang Mountain, all have the strength to reach out and pinch their own death, this moment is not the time to meet them head-on, this time, Yang Hao in the original tribute also added an additional one, as an additional tribute to his first arrival in the village,

Te and Room B are all powerful and arrogant people, and they received Yang Hao's additional tribute, and they didn't say much about a word of thanks, Wu Kui Yili Wu Kui Daxiang is Yu Yue (Prime Minister) of the Eight Divisions Alliance, and he is a person who has a city in his heart, he learned that Xiaocang Mountain has changed the new owner of the village, and specially set up a banquet to entertain Yang Hao,

In order to reassure him, Yang Hao deliberately pretended to be a boastful, shrewd but short-sighted appearance, Wukui Daxiang was dissolved by Yang Hao one by one several times, and finally he decided that the young man in front of him would not pose any threat to Wukui as the new owner of the village, so he sent Yang Hao a generous gift: six Han women who were plundered by them,

After returning to the mountain, he put the six women at Mu Kun's mother's place, drinking and eating with him, Mu Kun poured Cao Zhou at the last moment, after changing his mind, he still sat in the second chair of the cottage, his mother Xie was old and virtuous, and no one was disrespectful in the cottage.

Guarded by the Xie family, outsiders have no way to peek into its reality, so just a few days there were rumors, all dissatisfied with the owner of the village to swallow six women, Yang Hao secretly investigated and learned that the rumor maker was the front hall of the guest Fang Tang, and also checked that this person knew the Khitan language, and the Khitan human form was too close, he accompanied Yang Hao to visit the Wukui Department when he disappeared for half a day,

Yang Hao had a plan in his heart, so he summoned the leaders of the cottage and asked everyone who still wants to start a family this year, eleven people raised their hands and shouted, Yang Hao called the secretary office to register everyone's names, but said: "The day before yesterday, Wukui Daxiang Khan gave me six women, I didn't dare to swallow it alone, how could she all be from poor families, little etiquette, and fell into the dust for many years, and there was inevitably some barbarism, rashly matching people only afraid of fighting in the door day after day, so I asked the old lady to be meticulous, and now the old lady has accepted them as goddaughters, And I will be brother and sister to them, and it would not be better for them to be married to you? ”

When the secretary was writing a note, Yang Hao called Fang Tang to his side, secretly stuffed him with a note, and told him: "Don't let outsiders know." Fang Tang secretly looked at the note, it was a "medium" word,

Afterwards, Fang Tang really won, Yang Hao asked him to be the first to pick his wife, Fang Tang was very moved, and said to everyone: "I guess the belly of the big master and gentleman with the heart of a villain, I really deserve to die, everything in the family will be the head of the family in the future, and I dare not die well if I dare to violate this oath." Yang Hao helped him up and said: "It's all a family of brothers don't have to be like this, brothers gather righteousness by righteousness, and act according to the law, the fourth article of the law of this village: Don't hide wealth and people, you don't know the truth, so what's the matter." "Everyone said that Yang Hao was generous,

That night, the cottage held a banquet to celebrate, the big and small minions drank until midnight, Yang Hao staggered back to the house and walked badly, and saw that Mu Long's house was still lit from a distance, and she didn't sleep in the middle of the night but lay on the table to do something, Yang Hao walked over and patted her shoulder and said, "It's still cold, and go to bed to rest." Mu Long didn't move, Yang Hao reached out to push her,

Who knew that with this push, Mu Long suddenly collapsed to the ground, the table was covered with blood, but she had already had her throat cut out, and she had no breath at all.

Yang Hao's body turned into a cold sweat, and then touched Mu Long's body was still warm, and soon after the time of death, Yang Hao locked the door quietly, and no one was allowed to approach, and then he called Mu Kun and Liu Pan,

Liu Pan was elected as the sixth master before Hu Chunyu left, in charge of the Juyi Hall and the surrounding core area guards, Yang Hao understood that he was Hu Chunyu's cronies, and he was also a chess piece planted by Haotian Trading Company in Xiaocang Mountain, as long as he didn't turn his face with Haotian Trading Company, Liu Pan was reliable and reusable.

As for Mu Kun, his loyalty to Cao Zhou has passed away with Cao Zhou's death, and with his character, as long as he thinks he is worthy of loyalty, he will follow you wholeheartedly, and there is no possibility of betraying you half-heartedly.

The two carefully inspected the scene of the murder, and Mu Kun said with great certainty: "This is done by insiders." Because the incident occurred in Liu Pan's area of responsibility, Liu Pan's face was a little unbearable, and the two had a holiday before, so he asked with a cold face and a provocative tone: "The words of the second village master are too arbitrary, why didn't I see it." ”

Mu Kun snorted coldly, and said unhurriedly: "There is no trace of a fight in the house, and Miss Mu Long was killed by someone cutting her throat from the front, and only acquaintances will make her defenseless." Speaking of this, he sternly asked Liu Pan: "Where are the guards in the inner house, why do you let the murderer come and go freely." Liu Pan blushed and said, "I, I let them go drinking." Mu Kun's face darkened when he heard this: "How can the guards of the inner house withdraw without authorization, it's just nonsense." ”

Liu Pan was reprimanded, his face suddenly darkened, and he gritted his teeth with hatred, Yang Hao said: "Don't blame Liu Pan for this matter, I asked him to remove people." Speaking of this, Yang Hao said to Mu Kun thoughtfully: "Mu Long doesn't understand words, there are not many people I know in the cottage, you go to check one by one, you must find out the murderer, and remember to do this quietly and not publicly." He turned around and ordered Liu Pan: "No one is allowed to leave the cottage without my warrant in the past few days, and those who violate the order will be taken down." ”

Three days later, Mu Kun secretly reported that all the people Mu Long knew and might know had been carefully interrogated and did not find anything suspicious, and Liu Pan reported that no one had left the cottage without permission for three days, just when Yang Hao was confused, he suddenly found a note in the crack of the door of the study, which read: "The one who killed Mu Long, Fang Tang also." "The handwriting is exactly the same as the note warning in the guest room before,

Yang Hao thought about it for a while, smiled unconsciously and put the note aside and ignored it, late the next night, when Yang Hao was reading the military book at night, he suddenly reported that Fang Tang asked to see him, Yang Hao put the book aside, took out two notes and played with them in his hand, deliberately let Fang Tang see it, and when Fang Tang saw the two notes, his expression became respectful.

Yang Hao suddenly asked, "Why did you kill Mu Long." ”

Fang Tang was taken aback, and then bowed down and replied, "My subordinates have to do this." ”

Yang Hao pointed to the chair on the side and motioned for him to sit down and speak, Fang Tang hesitated for a while before daring to sit down sideways, Yang Hao cleared his throat and asked, "Are you from the Internal Investigation Bureau or the Internal Division." ”

There are two sentinels, two bureaus and two divisions under the inner temple square, and the Xuanyi sentry guards the station and defends the city gate; The scarlet whistle is responsible for the safety and security of Yang Hao and other important figures; The difference is that the Internal Investigation Bureau is responsible for monitoring the military and political officials of Fengzhou, while the Internal Investigation Bureau is responsible for monitoring social groups and individuals; The Home Affairs Division is responsible for logistical support; The Division of Administration is responsible for internal control and personnel.

"The subordinate is the Internal Investigation Bureau." Fang Tang said this, and he didn't feel that his eyes were red,

Yang Hao nodded, and sighed, Neisifang is his right-hand man who controls the military and politics of Fengzhou, but he is also hated by all parties, especially the Internal Investigation Bureau, in the eyes of the Fengzhou military and political officials, it is simply a thorn in the flesh, and they all want to get rid of it quickly, so that even when Yang Hao was in power, the life of the Internal Investigation Bureau in Fengzhou was not easy, and its subordinate cadres and gangs often did not know whether they were on the streets or disappeared without a trace.

After his own death, the inner temple was tragically purged, Zhu Qi was sentenced to Ling Chi, Mu Li and other seven palm prints were also convicted and imprisoned, all the personnel of the Internal Investigation Bureau and the Internal Division Bureau were directly put into prison without trial, and there were seven or eight out of ten deaths, especially the Internal Investigation Bureau, there were no survivors, and almost all the troops were wiped out.

"You've suffered these days." Yang Hao said with some sadness,

Hearing this, Fang Tang's tears burst out of his eyes, and he choked up and said, "Poor hundreds of brothers died unexpectedly, please avenge them." After that, he knelt on the ground with a "plop", kneeled forward and hugged Yang Hao's leg, and cried loudly, Yang Hao was so confused by his crying that it was easy to settle down, helped him up, and asked him: "Someone instructed you to kill her." ”

Fang Tang nodded and admitted: "The subordinates are deeply guilty, please ask the general to punish the crime." ”

"She's just a little girl who hasn't seen the world, what's the point of killing her." Yang Hao said sadly,

"Although she is an ordinary girl, she is involved in a big thing." Fang Tang wiped his tears, raised his head, and showed a capable look,

"What's the big deal." Yang Hao was taken aback, stared at Fang Tang and asked, "You tell me carefully, what is the big deal." ”

Fang Tang settled down and replied: "When the subordinates were sent to the city for business in the internal investigation bureau, when the general was in trouble, his subordinates were investigating a case of corruption in Wuliuwan, General Zhu Zhen warned his subordinates, and his subordinates escaped with their lives, and then they came to the Khitan territory, and were captured by Wu Kui, and became a horse slave, and went to winter, Wu Kui Daxiang accidentally broke his calf while hunting, and the god of Wu Kui jumped around him for a few days The great god did not have any effect, and his subordinates knew a little medical skills and cured his leg, so he trusted me, this spring, He sent me to infiltrate Mt. Ogura, as his internal response, and sooner or later he would capture Mt. Ogura. ”

Yang Hao asked: "Why did he take Xiaocang Mountain, it was also to control the trade route." ”

Fang Tang replied: "The Wukui people only know how to raise horses and don't know how to do business, the reason why Wukui Daxiang wants to seize Xiaocang Mountain is that he doesn't want to find an excuse for the Tuju Department to beat him, Tuju Manlei is ambitious, he has long coveted the throne of the alliance Yuyue, but Wukui Daxiang's qualifications and prestige are far above him, and if Manlei wants to get his wish, he can only send troops to break through Wukui and force Wukui Daxiang to take the initiative to give way, and he now needs to find a reason to send troops to the east. ”

Speaking of which, Yang Hao has roughly figured out the relationship, the Wusugu people surrender to the Tuju Ministry, pay taxes and pay tribute to it, when the Wusugu people have disputes with the outside, the Tuju Department has the responsibility of sending troops to protect, Mu Long is in his own hands, and the sudden thunder can instruct Wusugu to send troops to Xiaocang Mountain, and then he will send troops to the east to approach Wukui in the name of protecting his subordinates, and then provoke trouble, and force Wukui Daxiang to give up the position of Yue,

Wukui Daxiang didn't want to let the sudden barbarian thunder have such an excuse, so he instructed Fang Tang to kill Mu Long, and the eight Khitan tribes had sworn together: without the consent of the General Assembly, no tribe should be involved in the vendetta of foreign tribes, Mu Long died in Xiaocang Mountain, and the Wusugu people could raise troops to take revenge, but the Sudden Movement Department had no reason to send troops to help, otherwise it would be a violation of the original oath,

The Assassin Division, which is now in power, whether it is the Yao Ran clan who holds the position of Khan, or the Yelu clan, who holds military power, are deeply wary of the ambitious Sudden Movement Division, and they will never allow the Sudden Movement Department to have the opportunity to strengthen themselves.
