Chapter 667: The Night of the Murder in the Wind and Snow (I)

"Sir...... I...... I'm a woman from that kind of place, and I'm not a yellow flower girl, and I can't live because I'm looked at by someone. It's not worth taking such a risk for the sake of me, a lowly woman. Even if he was sitting on a horse, Red Peony desperately wanted to hold on to the reins and persuade Yang Chengzu to go back. Although she is not a person in the officialdom, she is the master of rolling in the party after all, and this level of conspiracy can be seen completely.

Those big high-rollers who threw money and made a show, or the imperial history who deliberately embarrassed them, and those officers and soldiers who were killed, I am afraid that they were all arranged. If it weren't for the quick handling of it himself, if the Yang family's nursing home killed and injured the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, I don't know how much trouble it would cause. In the final analysis, I am afraid that this is still the countermeasure taken by other businessmen and big households after the previous suppression of food prices and the establishment of Yang Kee, which made other businessmen and big households feel threatened.

Yang Chengzu smiled immediately, but that smile was so terrifying in the night. "Peony, are you cold? Really, I'm afraid there will be snowflakes when I come out, why don't you wear more? ”

"I ...... I'm nothing, sir, you gave me your coat and froze carefully. Besides, in case the lady sees it...... Not good. ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, are you also my woman, what's so afraid of letting people know. I went to the Five Cities Terracotta Division today to find a place for my woman, it's as simple as that. The other torturers, although not my women, may become my women in the future, so they cannot be beaten in vain, and someone has to ask for justice for them. ”

As he spoke, he had already come to the outside of the Yamen of the Commander of the Soldiers and Horses, and the light of the wind lamp was shining brightly, guiding the path. The entrance to the yamen was quiet, there was no movement, and there was no guard sergeant in sight. The door of the yamen was open, as if a giant beast had opened its mouth, waiting for its sacrifice to come in and munch.

Yang Chengzu turned around and asked the red peony, "Are they here, do they torture you?" Seeing Red Peony nodding, he instructed those nursing homes who had also been flogged, "You didn't do a good job today, but considering that it was Sister Peony's order, I won't pursue it." Now is the time for you to atone for your sins, and you have taken off this bird lantern for me. ”

The air dead wind lantern outside the Yamen of the Commander of the Soldiers and Horses is not only a signboard, but also a guide signpost. Some of these nursing homes are military disciples recruited from Shaanxi, some are athletes selected by Qinglong Mountain or Wenxiang Sect, and some are martial arts masters recruited from Beijing.

They originally lacked a sense of law and discipline, but the lord's family ordered them to act, and they were punished today, so they had no fear. Several people rushed up to take off the lantern, and some people unloaded the plaque of the Terracotta Division, threw it heavily on the ground, and trampled on it at will.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the yamen, the lanterns and torches shone like day, and hundreds of archers rushed out with knives and guns in their hands, surrounding Yang Chengzu and his party. The first two men, one wearing a crown of hedgehogs on his head, the other wearing armor and holding the hilt of a sword.

"Iron stubbornness, Gao Quanzhong?" Yang Chengzu recognized the identities of the two at a glance, and the look on his face became even more strange, "I say, what kind of idiot would jump out so actively and use it as a gun for others." It turned out to be you two stupid, this is not surprising, if you want to be a good person and a clean official, you will naturally anger the powerful, and a lucky person like me is naturally the target of cleaning up. ”

He glanced at Gao Quanzhong again, "For the sake of a beast, you have to embarrass me?" Should I say you love horses, or should I say you're an idiot? Originally, I thought that you could still be regarded as a good man, but now I want to retract this evaluation, those who do it to women also have the face to call men? ”

"They violated the night curfew, and the official punished them with flogging, but they only carried out the law, and you don't want to spew blood! Commander Yang instructed his subordinates to smash the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses, why did he come? ”

"Smash the yamen? I think you are mistaken, I just picked up your lantern and smashed your plaque, if this is called smashing the yamen, then what are you going to say about what I am going to do next? Someone! Rush in for me and tear down his yamen! Today, all the sergeants who tortured my family stood up and received 100 lashes each, and that was the end of the matter. Otherwise, starting tomorrow, I will take my brocade guard to visit everyone here today, visit himself, visit his whole family! ”

Yang Chengzu's gaze swept around, as if he wanted to remember everyone's face, and the guards behind him also showed a malicious smile.

"Who dare?" Gao Quanzhong drew his waist knife, and more than 100 archers of the Soldiers and Horses Division also raised their weapons in their hands, forming a confrontation with the Yang family's guards. These soldiers were obviously instructed and behaved very bravely, and did not have the intention of backing down because of Yang Chengzu's intimidation.

Yang Chengzu handed the reins of the horse to one of the guards beside him, and with his other hand, he had already pulled out the treasure knife given by Jiajing. The weight and edge of this knife are similar to the difference between the one given by Zhengde, and it is also a sharp blade. He held the knife in both hands, raised it above his head, and pulled a strange momentum, "You guys, are you sure you want to fight?" Then I'll be with you to the end! ”

Although Tie Zhi is a civil official, he is extremely courageous, and he is not afraid because of this formation. He snorted coldly, "Yang Chengzu, when the northern captives besieged the city, the head of the city supervised the battle, and he was never afraid of receiving an arrow from the thief." Are you still afraid of your family's slaves? I don't care who sealed your knife, what this official did today is worthy of heaven and earth, and he is not afraid of you when he argues in the court, see what you can do to me? ”

Gao Quanzhong also shouted, "Yang Chengzu, you quickly put down your weapons, tie your hands and arrest you, we will go to the court tomorrow to distinguish between right and wrong." If you don't come to your senses, don't blame the official for being polite. Archers, prepare! ”

At the sound of an order, behind the ranks of those soldiers and horses, more than two dozen soldiers with bows in their hands suddenly appeared. Obviously, there are preparations here, even the hard bow has been prepared, and no one on the Yang family's side has come out with shields, if they really face these archers, they will definitely suffer a big loss.

If Yang Chengzu really dropped his weapon at this time, he was not worried about any harm, even if it was in the court, he would not be punished. However, if the dignified commander is imprisoned in the prison of the Terracotta Division, this face will be lost at home.

Just like the last time he beat Tie Zhi and killed Gao Quanzhong's mount, these people today also have the same intention of cutting his face. The red peony called out to the lord in a trembling voice, and the women in those opera troupes howled loudly, Gao Quanzhong snorted coldly, "Commander Yang, please put down your weapons with your people, I won't embarrass you." As for right and wrong, we will make it clear tomorrow to Banzai. ”

"Hooray? I'm sorry, I don't think such a trivial thing should alarm Banzai. I still say the same thing, all those who tortured my people will roll over, and each of them will be whipped a hundred times, and then let me smash all the furniture in your yamen, and we will settle it evenly. Otherwise, I'll take my people and visit everyone here today, one by one, to visit you, to visit your whole family! ”

Gao Quanzhong's hand was raised for the second time, and the bow in the archer's hand was full, and he was ready to draw. Yang Chengzu squatted down, his hands held high, in the wind and snow, the lights were swaying, just waiting for Gao Quanzhong's hand to fall, red flowers would bloom on the white snow.
