Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In Yingzhou in October, the weather in October has been a little cooler, and the temperature in the middle of the night sometimes drops to about five or six degrees, coupled with the lack of nightlife in this era, the whole street is basically empty in the middle of the night.
The time slowly came to the third watch, the stars and the moon were hiding in the clouds, and the sky was so gloomy that it could be called a finger that could be called a finger, and dozens of masked people dressed in black quietly appeared in front of a shop in the south of the city.
These black-clothed men were either carrying bucket-shaped things in their hands, or holding firewood and other flammable materials, for a black-clothed man came to the shop with more than a dozen companions, and gestured to the other companions, these black-clothed men nodded in unison, opened the wooden barrel in their hands, and poured the liquid in the bucket evenly in front of the door of the shop and all around it. Others piled firewood and flammable items in their arms in all corners of the shop.
After doing this qiē, the black-clothed man made another gesture, and all the black-clothed people threw the wooden barrels in their hands, and one of the black-clothed people took out a fire fold from his arms and ignited it and put it on the firewood under his feet, and soon a flame was quickly ignited, and soon this flame turned into a sky-high fire, and at this time, these black-clothed people had already disappeared into the night.
After a while, a burst of gongs and drums resounded in the night sky, and a panicked voice sounded immediately, "Oh no, go to the water, come and put out the fire!" ”
"Dangdangdang...... Walking on the water...... Walking in the water......"
"What, two of the three salt shops have been burned, and all the hundreds of loads of salt we have hoarded there have been burned?" As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Yue Yang, who was still asleep, was awakened, and he was furious when he heard the news!
Yue Laifu hung his head and stood in front of Yue Yang and whispered: "Yes, young master, the only salt shop that has not been burned down is because a guy got up in the middle of the night to relieve his hands, and after the abnormality appeared, an emergency alarm was issued, which avoided the end of all three shops being burned down." ”
"Have you found out who did it?"
"There is no young master!" Yue Laifu had a trace of guilt on his face, these three shops Yueyang handed over to him to take care of himself, but within a few days, the shops were burned, which made him feel a sense of self-esteem in front of Yue Yang.
"What about the guy at the shop? How many casualties were there? ”
Yue Laifu's head hung lower: "One guy was burned to death, two were seriously injured, and four others were slightly injured!" ”
"Okay, that's good, he's hacked at us so soon, does he really think my knife won't kill?" Yue Yang's voice was like an ice cellar coming out, with a piercing chill.
"Young master, since they broke the rules first, then don't blame us for being ruthless, we must avenge this revenge!" Yue Laifu was also angry, there are rules in any industry, although these rules may not necessarily be written on the surface, but these rules are everywhere, which is the same in all dynasties. There is an unwritten tacit understanding among the wealthy gentry everywhere, that is, if there are contradictions and frictions between the gentry everywhere, you can use a commercial or official means to attack and squeeze your opponent, but there is a bottom line here, that is, it is not allowed to use violence to directly destroy the opponent's shop or use force to deal with the opponent, if you do this, it will cause resistance and attack from your peers.
This rule is not without reason, after all, everyone is a person with status and family business, if you don't deal with anyone, send someone to burn down the other party's shop and kill the other party's family, then it's not messy. Who doesn't have family and relatives, who doesn't have their own property, if everyone does this, everyone will die together in the end, so this is also the bottom line that everyone abides by, but now this bottom line has been ignored and destroyed by someone.
Yue Yang's face was so cold that he seemed to be able to hang a layer of ice, he immediately made a decision in his heart, and immediately said: "Uncle Laifu, you immediately go to the school and call Hu Laosan to me, there is work for him to do!" ”
"Yes!"
Since Yue Yang led the 500 regiments of training soldiers to defeat the Liukou and relieve the siege of Yingzhou City, the reputation of Wulizhai regimental training quickly spread in Yingzhou Mansion. Moreover, Yueyang gave each of the five hundred soldiers who participated in the war a reward of five taels of silver, which further aroused the gratitude of the soldiers to Yueyang. After all, five taels of silver in the first few years is not a small amount for ordinary people, enough for their family to live comfortably for a few months, and what makes them even happier is that none of them died in the operation to rescue Yingzhou City, which is even more surprising.
With fame, there are naturally more people who come to defect, and these days the number of young people who come to Yuejiazhuang to participate in the group training suddenly increased, and after the screening of Yue Yang and Hu Laosan, the number of people in the group training swelled from more than 500 people to more than 2,000 at once. It is naturally a good thing that the number of people in the regimental training has increased, but then there have been more problems, such as the accommodation, food, weapons and armor, and training of the soldiers. These days, Hu Laosan has been leading some regimental training soldiers to build new houses while training, and he is very busy.
However, no matter how busy Hu Laosan was, the boss did not dare to slack off when he summoned him, and soon rushed to Yueyang.
After coming to Yueyang, covered in dust and sweat, Hu Laosan gasped and asked, "Childe, what do you have to tell you to find the little one?" ”
Looking at Hu Laosan, who was still wearing armor, Yue Yang knew that this guy must have been training on the school field just now, he didn't talk nonsense, and told him the news that the two salt shops were burned and the guys were killed or injured in simple language. After that, Yue Yang said coldly: "Hu Laosan, although we have no evidence to directly prove that the Wang family did it, there are some things that don't need evidence, so I have something to hand over to you next!" ”
After listening to Yue Yang's story, Hu Laosan's eyes immediately became angry: "Childe, you can give the order!" What do you make the little ones do? Whether to kill the Wang family immediately and kill their entire family or directly burn down their shop, as long as you give an order, the small one will definitely do it properly! ”
"Kill them directly?" Yue Yang shook his head, "We can't do this kind of work that has no technical content at all, and it is easy for people to grasp the handle, after all, we have no direct evidence to prove that this matter was done by the Wang family." So, I want you to do another thing, you immediately hide from the road from Yingzhou to Taiyuan Mansion, Datong Mansion and the surrounding states, once you see a convoy and caravan under the banner of the royal family, you don't have to talk nonsense with them, immediately go forward and kill people and snatch the goods, do you understand? ”
Although Yue Yang's voice was not loud, the cold meaning in it made even Hu Laosan, a brave and ruthless person, feel a chill in his back. However, Hu Laosan is not a good stubble, his surprise was only a momentary thing, and soon his face showed a fierce and fierce voice: "Young master, just look at it, the little one guarantees that none of those people can escape!" ”
"Hmm!" Yue Yang nodded and continued to instruct, "You have to remember, you must not leave a live mouth, nor can you leave a handle, don't transport the stolen goods back to Yuejiazhuang first, you first find a proper place to hide it, and then we will take it out after the limelight is over!" Remember? ”
Hu Laosan patted his chest: "Young master, don't worry, the little one will definitely do things properly!" ”
Yue Yang thought about what suddenly sounded, and he said again: "By the way, remember to bring more crossbows and arrows when you go to run errands this time to minimize casualties!" ”
Not long after Yue Yang instructed Hu Laosan, Wang Shoucheng also received the news that Yue's salt shop had been set on fire.
"Smack......
A crisp voice sounded in the study, Wang Chenglin covered his face and stood in front of Wang Shoucheng, looked at his father in surprise and asked loudly: "Father, why are you beating the child!" ”
"Why...... You still have the face to ask me why I hit you! Wang Shoucheng's face turned pale with anger, his body trembled like chaff, and his fingers pointing at Wang Chenglin also shook for a while, "Why did you send someone to burn down the Yue family's shop, you say...... Why the hell! ”
Wang Chenglin said unconvincingly while covering his right face: "The child is also to vent his evil anger to our family, what is so great about that Yueyang, but he has trained hundreds of regiments and township soldiers, and he happened to relieve the siege of Yingzhou City, you will hold him to the sky, what is he, the child just wants him to know, as long as he provokes our Wang family, we can make him unbearable!" ”
"Smack......
As soon as Wang Chenglin's words were finished, another loud voice sounded in the study, this time it was the left side of the face that was beaten, and this time there was a slap on both sides, and the two sides were finally balanced.
"You...... You...... How did I give birth to you, a fool who doesn't know what to do! Wang Shoucheng looked at his frightened son, and he was so sad and angry that he couldn't help himself.
Things have come to this point, Wang Chenglin doesn't even have the heart to beat people, he knows that what his son has done will definitely spread throughout Yingzhou City in the shortest possible time......
