If a killer who collects money for his life is a good kind, then he can't be called a killer. If you want to subdue 7-up, it is definitely not an easy task. And once it is subdued, it will definitely become a formidable weapon in Yang Zhi's hands.

It would undoubtedly be foolish to show mercy to the killer. It would be even more ridiculous if he blindly allowed high-ranking officials to lure him to work for Great Xia. Yang Zhi didn't have the energy and leisure to convince people with virtue, and of course he wouldn't use his head as a bet to make a wedding dress for Daxia.

The reason why killers don't need a reason to kill people is nothing more than ruthlessness and strength. Yang Zhi's method can be described as the right medicine: you are ruthless, aren't you? Then I'll be more ruthless than you. You have the strength, don't you? That fully shows that my strength is stronger than yours. Firmly occupy the initiative and hit and pull, but leave room for it. It's a shame to say that this hand is still inspired by Zhao Qi, the king of Yue, who played with people. As long as you play with people, are you afraid that you will not die for me?

The title of Yang Zhi by the leader was changed from "Flying Tiger Hou" at the beginning of his appearance to "Hou Ye", which is a subtle change in the initial curative effect. At this moment, the four of them had their own thoughts, but they were all silent, silently connecting the arms and ankles of the woman in black named Zhu Ling'er.

Yang Zhi opened the door with a smile: "Although the outfits of several people are a little special, fortunately, it is already night, and it must not be too dazzling to go out." The door of the inn is for people to walk, what do you think? ”

If the assassination fails, his identity will be exposed, and it will not make much sense to cover it up again. The four of them turned a deaf ear to the ridicule in Yang Zhi's words, and helped Zhu Ling'er to leave. Zhu Ling'er, who had been slapped a few times, looked very indecent, put on a scarf again, and couldn't see what expression was on her face, so she walked to the door and stopped and whispered: "Yang Zhi, I remember you!" ”

"Good! Hehe, many people will not only remember me, but I am afraid that they will never forget it for the rest of their lives. The four walked slowly, not sending. ”

The four of them hurriedly went out to the dark place to change their clothes, and after leaving the inn, one of them asked, "The third child." What to do? Is this business still being done? ”

Zhu Linger wanted to answer, but she stopped talking. The leader muttered for a long time, and inexplicably burst out a sentence: "I'm hungry, what about you?" ”

Early the next morning. Before Yang Zhi even went out, he ushered in an unexpected visitor.

The person who came was about forty years old, with a handsome face in a white scarf, and an elegant and graceful face that was floating out of the dust, and only two servants in green clothes and small hats. As soon as they met, they bowed and saluted: "I heard that the son is coming to Jinan Mansion." I came to pay my respects today. ”

Yang Zhideng was quite confused: he could be 10,000% sure that he had never met anyone who came. The person who came looked calm, and did not hesitate when he met and saluted, although he only vaguely referred to "contemptible" and "childe", but he obviously knew himself, and definitely did not look like he recognized the wrong person. Who is this man? Why did you come to the door?

He returned the salute and asked, "Sir, you are serious." Pls is ...... sir? ”

The visitor replied respectfully: "The contemptible surname is Li Mingzikuan, and now he is ashamed to be the prefect of Jinan. ”

Li Zikuan? He is Li Zikuan, the prefect of Jinan? Yang Zhi had very little contact with the ministers of the court and the central government in Chang'an, and he was even more blind to local officials. He had arrived in Jinan for less than three days, and he had only heard a cursory hearing that Li Zikuan's official reputation was acceptable for many years. Although I don't know anything about his personality and background, I put aside my loyalty and traitor for the time being, but I have long decided that this Jinan prefect is a very powerful character.

The Great Xia Dynasty was in a period of hard work, and the emperor was shrewd, and he paid great attention to maintaining the people's hearts internally, and the government was relatively clear. The emperor's officials are not easy to do, and Li Zikuan's ability to be a local magistrate on the pastoral side can already prove this person's ability. Great Xia was limited by its territory, and for more than 20 years, only Shandong enjoyed the geographical advantage of overseas trade. Because of the huge benefits contained in it, and the emperor has been powerless for a long time. As a result, the undercurrent in Shandong is turbulent and the situation is complicated. Li Zikuan has served as the prefect of Jinan for many years, and not only has governed Shandong steadily, but also has a good official reputation. It shows that it is easy to maneuver between various forces.

Li Zikuan took the initiative to visit him today, which made Yang Zhi more convinced of his judgment of him.

Yang Zhi was hesitant to publicly inform the local government of his identity. After experiencing the murder of Yedian and Qixi, Yang Zhi had realized that it was no secret that he had come to Shandong, and all parties in the Chenghuang Land must have expected why he came. If it weren't for the money. Did the emperor get such a strongman to come to Shandong to enjoy the mountains and rivers?

If they don't disclose their identities, the local government can pretend to be deaf and dumb. If something big happens to him, he can push it all away without knowing it, and even if he secretly does it, he will not be sure. If the identity is made public, the advantage of the enemy and the enemy will no longer exist, which is tantamount to showing that it is the power of one person to single-handedly challenge the entire Shandong! To his great surprise, he didn't expect the number one snake in Jinan Mansion to come to the door so quickly!

Li Zikuan is undoubtedly an old fox with a very clear brain. No matter what the result of Yang Zhi's tossing in Shandong is, in fact, it is impossible for him to stay out of the matter, and he will inevitably have to deal with Yang Zhi in the future, and it is impossible not to give an explanation to the emperor.

His vague visit today, which has a deep meaning, is equivalent to kicking the ball to Yang Zhi: I came to tell you that I know you are here, and of course I know why you came. As for who you are, I'll let you decide for yourself. If you say that it is public, it is public, and if you say it is private, it is private. In short, whatever you say is what it is, and then I will see the tricks according to the way you drew out, and I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with you?

Since there is nothing to hide, Yang Zhi's purpose is to just know that I am here. In these years, the lack of imaging equipment is also a wonderful thing, and all parties in the Chenghuang Land know that he is coming, and they may not know each other on the other side. The two met in such a way, which can be said to be worry-free for everyone.

took out the gold medal and lit up, and said with a serious face: "Yang Zhi, the first-class flying tiger Hou of Daxia, inspected Shandong under the emperor's secret order, and has this gold medal as evidence." Wherever the gold medal went, it was like me coming in person, and the local officials and the Great Xia garrison were sent at their disposal, and the violators were guilty of rebellion against the order! ”

This imperial gold medal is no different from Shang Fang's sword, and the emperor really looks up to him! Li Zikuan calmly straightened his clothes and bowed solemnly: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Li Zikuan, the prefect of Jinan, greeted the flying tiger Hou Qincha. ”

At this time and a half, it will be impossible to figure out Li Zikuan's hole cards, and now is not the time to fight wits with this old fox, Yang Zhida said: "Lord Li, please get up." I...... This Ben Qincha is not only patrolling on behalf of the heavens, but he does not want to alarm the officers and soldiers and people in Shandong. In the future, if you need Lord Li's service, Ben Chin will inform you. Stand down! ”

Li Zikuan originally wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Yang Zhipan so as to find out what he would do next, but he didn't want to meet and let him go without saying three words. Hearing this, he was stunned. had to take the official tone and retire according to his words. Although I felt a little uneasy, I was not in a hurry. Since you are a micro-service patrol, don't I also have a reason for secretly "protecting"? Let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see if we walk slowly!

It's afternoon. Yang Zhi waited for Qin Jiaoyang, who arrived at the same time. Yang Zhi's trip to Shandong is basically the same as Qin's interests, and Qin Jiaoyang is the only person he can fully trust in Shandong at present. The two of them had no scruples about each other, and they didn't talk much at the moment.

Yang Zhi roughly described the situation along the way and after arriving in Jinan, and Qin Jiaoyang was not surprised: "Brother Yang's encounter with a ghost in Yedian is nothing more than being sent by King Fu, King Ning or King Kang to pretend to be the name of An Guihou." Attempting to kill someone with a knife. Qixi's assassination of Brother Yang was mostly hired by the Li family, and the emperor's reliance on the Li family's financial resources has become weaker and weaker in recent years. ”

"Qixi has five men and two women, and it is a killer organization that has only risen in the past five or six years, with an unknown background and mysterious whereabouts, and is famous for its high asking price and extremely high success rate of assassination. Zhu Ling'er, who fell into the hands of Brother Yang, ranked last, but she had the highest asking price. It is rumored that the leader of Qixi is also a woman named Jin Damiang, and very few people have seen her true face. It is said that 7-Up is very cautious in undertaking business, so as not to fall into a situation where it is against the power of one country. Previously, the business of assassinating high-ranking officials and important ministers of various countries and royal nobles was never accepted. This time, the four of them joined forces in order to assassinate Brother Yang, which is really strange. ”

Yang Zhi said disapprerovingly: "This is not strange, it is nothing more than a question of whether the price is suitable or not." How many of them can meet if they are willing to pay 350,000 silver to kill people? Maybe you can wash your hands after this business. ――What did Brother Qin say about Li Zikuan? ”

"It's hard to say." Qin Jiaoyang frowned and shook his head and said, "I, the Qin Clan, have been observing this person for a long time, and I have tried him many times, but I can't find out his details. Let's say that he is corrupt and perverts the law, he also cares about the scholars and farmers, repairs the river and water conservancy, and cherishes the people justly in prison proceedings. said that he was an honest official, and his subordinate officials or businessmen gave gifts, and he did not refuse to come. No matter how many orders you have, you will receive them in full. ”

Yang Zhi nodded thoughtfully and sighed: "It's not easy to be an official to do this!" ”

Neither of them had any intention of staying in Jinan for a long time, and after they met, they set off for Penglai together. As it happens, this day happens to be a day destined to go down in history.

October 13, the twenty-fifth year of the Xia calendar. With a strong lineup of 320,000 troops on land and water, the emperor brazenly launched a full-scale war against the Southern Tang Dynasty. The reason for the war was almost barbaric and uncreative, but no one would find it ridiculous: during the emperor's "eastern tour", he encountered heavy rain in Huainan for two days, and ordered the general of Xiaocai, who led 30,000 troops to garrison Huainan, to send an envoy to inform the Southern Tang Emperor that he should "borrow" 6 million taels of silver within three days for the "disaster relief" of Daxia. Don't want to? Can't get it? Too short of time to get together? I'm sorry. Then you are despising the "fraternal allies", and naturally you don't have to be "friendly" with you anymore, you can only wash your ass and wait to be beaten!

On October 17, the 25th year of Wucheng in the Xia calendar, Yang Zhiyi pretended to be a merchant from Guanzhong invited by Qin Jiaoyang and arrived safely in Penglai County. It wasn't until the Penglai Qin clan branch settled down that Qin Jiaoyang asked where he planned to start first.

Yang Zhi still had an unpredictable lazy smile on his face: "I have already thought about this section, of course, you and I will divide into two ways, and do the most profitable business first!" ”

―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――
