The envoys from various countries who came to the court, the high-ranking official of the Great Song Dynasty who most wanted to meet was naturally Yang Yi, but unfortunately Yang Yi was not easy to meet guests, and most of the envoys who came to visit were disappointed.

However, Yang Yi, the Japanese envoy of the Liao State, must have wanted to meet. In addition, he also quietly met with the envoys of the three kingdoms of Taruna, Mataran, and Jiyili in Dailoumen.

These three countries are located on the island of Java, with the kingdom of Taruna in the west, Mataran in the middle, and Kengi in the east.

Sriwijaya is relatively strong, once defeated the country of Taruna, has already annexed part of the western tip of the island of Java, the three countries on the island of Java are relatively weak, so the three countries have always been watching and helping each other, united against Sriwijaya, so as not to be annexed by each other.

Yang Yi's private meeting with the envoys of these three countries is self-evident, it is nothing more than to use these three countries to further weaken the Three Buddhas, for the time being, the Great Song Dynasty has no time to take care of Nanyang, and Yang Yi does not want the imperial court to intervene in Nanyang affairs too early.

It can be said that Nanyang was the colostrum that Yang Yi used to feed the growth of the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and the imperial court intervened in Nanyang too early, and the capitalists of the Great Song Dynasty lost the space for initial development and growth.

Therefore, when Yang Yi met with the envoys of these three countries, he mainly talked about the cooperation between the Western Indian Ocean Trading Company and the three countries, and the trading company would provide some financial assistance in exchange for the free trade rights of each country.

At the same time, it also provided the Three Kingdoms with iron, beef tendons and other things used to make weapons, which were also contraband in the Great Song Dynasty, but now that many officials of the trading company have joined, it is not difficult to sell them with the energy of the trading company.

Of course, these things will certainly not be free aid, this is the arms business of this era. Not only will it not be impermanent, but the price will be extremely high.

These small countries have a low level of smelting. Iron tools are scarce, and iron tools are mostly government in various countries. It is forbidden to leave the country, and it is quite difficult for these small countries to obtain iron tools from other countries.

Now that Yang Yi agreed to provide them with some iron tools, the envoys of the Three Kingdoms were overjoyed despite the higher prices.

In the case of land requisition in Kaifeng Mansion, under Hu Zongyue's punishment, many house slaves began to confess, and the two dead house slaves were not killed by the forbidden army, but someone used a trick to blame Jiangdong in order to make things bigger.

Who is the mastermind of this? Is it Kang Qi's stewards, or the masters behind them, are they gathering people to make trouble purely to obstruct the DPRK's land acquisition, or do they have other meanings?

This requires further investigation.

As Hu Zongyue grasped more and more things in his hands, the evidence obtained slowly pointed to the eight words 'private collusion with the intention of rebellion'.

Many powerful families began to sit still, and privately sent money and goods to Hu Zongyue, and some threatened them with cruel words, and the reactions of each family were different.

It's a pity. They didn't know that everything was controlled by Yang Yi behind their backs, whether they were ruthless or bribed, it was not enough to shake Hu Zongyue to continue to investigate deeply.

On this day, Hu Zongyue accepted a banquet from his colleagues. I got half drunk from Fengle Building, twilight was coming, and the lights in front of Fengle Building were colorful. The streets are bustling with people, and the bustling voices are more lively than during the day.

Hu Zongyu sat in a carriage. From Fengle Building, go south along Zhaowan Street, and turn west when you reach the old Caomen Street. Passing through the ghost market of Huihefang.

The name of the ghost market is a bit scary, in fact, it is the meaning of the night market, the merchants and vendors light up the lights every five watches, buy and sell clothes, pictures, garlands, collar wipes, etc., and disperse at dawn, called the ghost market.

Of course, there are often some ghost rumors in this ghost market, such as the legend that during the reign of Jihei, there was a woman in Tokyo's Ganquanbo who carried old clothes to the market early in the morning. There was a man who was poor and had no clothes, so this woman gave him clothes. The two fell in love for a long time, became a couple, and gave birth to a son, and the woman turned into a ghost and said goodbye to Uncle Lin Wen......

Even a great writer like Ouyang Xiu has a description of the ghost market, in the wild bank of the Han River, one night, Ouyang Xiu heard the language of singing and laughing, there are many men, women and children, among which there are transaction reviews, and the sound of selling fruit bait, like a market, and it will not stop until dawn.

The next day, Ouyang Xiu walked ashore, only to see that there was no one in the four fields, the grass was blurred, and there was a city base in the distance, and when he asked, he knew that it was a city of the ancient Sui Dynasty.

These legends undoubtedly add a mysterious cloak to the ghost market, which has a characteristic that it does not open after dark, but does not open until the fifth watch.

It was night when Hu Zongyu's carriage passed through the ghost market, the ghost market was sparsely populated, the light was dim, he was slightly drunk and was leaning on the wall of the car to raise his spirits, and six black-clothed people suddenly rushed out of the tiles of the ghost market, and the knives in their hands reflected the cold light, rushing towards Hu Zongyu's carriage.

Hu Zongyu's entourage shouted in shock: "There are assassins, there are people, people are coming, protect your lordship" They shouted as they stubbornly met them.

Hu Zong was more frightened but not confused, and yelled at the coachman: "Quick, drive away, hurry!" ”

The men in black covered their heads and came at great speed, and the dagger in one of their hands flew out, and the coachman, who was beating the horses in an attempt to escape, screamed and fell off his horse.

The carriage lost control and rushed towards the tooth road on the side of the road, and then there was a click, presumably because the axle was broken, and the carriage could no longer move.

There were a small number of pedestrians on the streets on the side of the ghost market, all of them fled in horror at this time, and the six men in black were blocked by Hu Zongyu's entourage, although they had the upper hand, they couldn't pass for a while.

At this moment, a few more black-clothed people rushed out of the tiles of the ghost market, Hu Zongyu's entourage couldn't help but be heartbroken, they were already in a hurry to deal with the six black-clothed people in front of them, and they were in danger, and now they rushed out a few more black-clothed people, and it was absolutely difficult to deal with it anymore.

"Master, run away! The little ones can't stand it, the master run away" Hu Zongyu's entourage shouted loudly, but the accident happened at this time, and the black-clothed people who rushed behind not only did not join in the killing of them, but fought fiercely with the six black-clothed people in front.

The group of black-clothed people who came from behind were all skilled in martial arts, and their skills were extremely vigorous, and they knocked down the six black-clothed people in front of them in a few shots, and they didn't care about Hu Zongyu's entourage, they picked up the six black-clothed people in front of them, and disappeared into the black tiles between the rabbits and the falcons.

It all came fast. It ended quickly, so fast that Hu Zongyu's entourage was stunned and didn't react.

Although Hu Zongyu's face was pale. But the man was still calm, and he climbed out of the car. Let the two entourages watch the scene, and then take the other four people to Nanya.

At the foot of this Son of Heaven, Kaifeng Mansion Yin was assassinated on his own land, and this matter spread throughout the city in an instant, and Yang Yi heard about it for the first time.

This incident made him very surprised, Hu Zongyue had offended many powerful families by trying the land requisition case for a while, but Yang Yi found it hard to believe that these powerful families would do such a thing.

After all, Hu Zongyue is a dignified Sanpin Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and if he was assassinated in the capital. In any case, the imperial court wants to find out, and the direction of the investigation will first point to these powerful families;

Therefore, even if they are extremely dissatisfied with Hu Zongyue, it is unlikely that they will choose this method to deal with Hu Zongyue, this method is just a strategy that must not be used, and people in the officialdom will generally not choose this method until they are exhausted and cornered.

This night, Kaifeng Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division dispatched a large number of soldiers to arrest the whereabouts of the bandits. But the two men in black vanished like air.

In addition to the soldiers on the surface, there was also an undercurrent in the dark this night, and many powerful families also mobilized various forces to secretly investigate the whereabouts of these two groups.

The reason is simple. The more Hu Zongyue was stabbed, it was tantamount to pushing them to the cusp, which was extremely unfavorable to them. People will be the first to suspect them, if they can know the whereabouts of the assassin. is in the best interest of these powerful families.

At the second watch, Xiao Yi hurriedly knocked on Yang Yi's study.

"Mr. Xiao. How's it going? ”

"My lord, one of the six is Kang Qi's younger brother Kang Wulang, Kang Wulang usually takes Guan Pu as his business, often gangs up to fight, steal chickens and dogs, and go through a lot of trouble, all of them are Kang Qi wiping his ass for him, now Kang Qi is locked up in Kaifeng Mansion Prison, Kang Wulang goes to visit every day, but he can't see it, and he uses money to buy the jailer to get Kang Qi is now repeatedly punished, and it is very likely that he will be convicted of conspiracy against the big crime, Kang Wulang is the only way to do this risk."

"I see, I'll just say, how could the master behind Kang Qi and these people make such a stupid move, but after Kanggoro stirred it up like this, things are more beneficial to us, the key is not to let the identities of Kanggoro's six assassins be recognized, this kind of thing, if you can't find the assassin, people believe that the assassin has an extraordinary background."

"What my lord said is, don't worry, now the six people are under our control and have been settled."

Yang Yi thought about it carefully and said indifferently: "Is there any follow-up arrangement for Mr. Xiao in this matter?" ”

"I have thrown down a waist card of the Anlu County Mansion not far from the scene of the crime, although it cannot be determined that the case was done by the Anlu County Palace, but there is always a faint physical evidence."

"That's not enough, the eleven of our selected families must involve them, this is a rare move."

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will make proper arrangements."

"When the wind calms down a little, Kang Wulang and the six of them will arrange to go to Lingnan first, remember not to let the whereabouts of these six people be leaked again, if they work well in the future, these six people will be extremely important chess pieces in our hands."

"Don't worry, sir." Xiao Yi took a long look and withdrew.

Yang Yi thought about it, and couldn't help but smile again, he sent someone to follow Hu Zongyu, protection is secondary, in fact, the main thing is surveillance, after all, Hu Zongyue is too critical now, and Yang Yi feels that his every move is necessary to master.

It's just that I didn't expect that the people sent to monitor would actually pick up this bargain, Kang Wulang and others suddenly assassinated, as long as they disappeared from now on, they would associate themselves with these powerful people in Anlu County, which would be quite beneficial to Yang Yi to further control these people in the future, a good thing, a good thing!
