Chapter 38: Tracking
The eyes of those who practice martial arts are always sharper, Yang Heihu sits in the salt field, and there are more than 300 salt dings in the field, although they can't be named, but most of them are familiar. The 100 people in Changshan Village are the focus of his attention.
Sitting on the pile of firewood is naturally a bolt, and when he looks at his back, Yang Heihu is suspicious. However, when he passed by on horseback, he saw that face very unfamiliar. This is, of course, thanks to Gao Xiu'er's disguise technique.
But the person driving the car aroused Yang Heihu's suspicion again. Although Kunlun Nu is from Nanyang, it is not common in Jiangnan. What's more, the person driving the car is unfamiliar and obviously not a veteran. But he was strong with his arms, and he controlled the driving horse with brute strength, and he was obviously a good man.
There is no way to let Kunlun Nu drive. The current group of young people in Changshan Village have never touched horses at all, let alone drive horse-drawn carriages. The four Kunlun slaves had studied for a few days, and this task naturally fell to them. In addition, they have kung fu on them, and they can also protect the plug if necessary.
Although the Yang family's opening of the salt factory could not be hidden from the magistrate, it was hidden from the eyes and ears of the court. In order not to attract the attention of outsiders, the Yang family acted extremely cautiously here. Yang Xuangan repeatedly emphasized that outsiders were not allowed to lead outsiders to the manor in the west of the city, because in the eyes of other families in the court, the Yang family had abandoned the manor.
After Yang Heihu and his party rode over, the carriage that transported firewood also sped up. However, in this section of the official road, people come and go, and there are many carts transporting salt, and the horses can't run fast no matter how good they are. The carriage followed unhurriedly like this, which aroused Yang Heihu's alarm even more, and one of his hands was already secretly gripping the hilt of the knife.
When there were still more than five miles away from Yanguan City, the Kunlun Nu who was driving suddenly whipped his whip, and the horse "chirped" and neighed, and the carriage turned a corner and drove into the fork in the road. Yang Heihu saw the carriage moving farther and farther away from the corner of his eye, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. At some point, he found that his palms were covered with sweat.
They can continue to follow, anyway, Yang Heihu and they can't run fast. But before leaving, Liu Ziqiu explained that he was only allowed to follow this fork in the road at the farthest. Liu Ziqiu knew that the Yang family had been in Yanguan for nearly a year, but not many people knew their whereabouts, which showed that they were very cautious. If you follow it all the way, you will inevitably be startled.
Although the carriage did not continue to follow them, Yang Heihu was still a little unsettled, and as soon as he entered the manor, he asked, "Where is the Seventh Prince?" ”
Zhuang Ding, who was guarding the door, pointed to the back and said, "Childe is in the flower hall." ”
This was originally a separate courtyard of Chen Shushen, the king of Yueyang in Nanchen, and the flower hall was in the front yard.
Although Yang Heihu is only a house slave, he has a special status, and he does not need to be passed on to enter. Pushing open the hall door, I saw two bewitching orchids, twisting their waists like water snakes, dancing there.
Although Yang Jishan did not get married, he also accepted two concubines, and spent most of his time drinking and having fun with his concubines in the manor. Seeing Yang Heihu coming in, Yang Jishan laughed and said, "Heihu, you came just in time!" The eldest brother just sent two orchids from Luoyang, and this dance is good, haha, haha......"
Yang Heihu didn't have the heart to appreciate the song and dance, and said, "Seventh son, the people from Changshan Village went to the salt field today. ”
Yang Jishan frowned and said, "What are they going to do?" ”
"They asked to go to work."
"Haha, haha, these untouchables, it's really a toast and don't eat and drink!" Yang Jishan took advantage of the situation and pinched the chest of the favored concubine in his arms, raised a wine glass in front of him, and said, "Don't pay attention to them." Black Tiger, come, this is the grape wine that the eldest brother just sent from Luoyang, you can also taste it! ”
The salt farm was well done, and the stones that pressed on Yang Xiaogan's heart also fell to the ground. In order to tie up Yang Jishan's body, lest he run around and show his tracks, Yang Xiaogan specially asked people to send orchids and wine from Luoyang.
Yang Heihu saw that there were still a few remnants of red on the wine glass, which was obviously used by the little concubine in Yang Jishan's arms, where did he dare to take it, and hurriedly said: "Seventh son, the slave doesn't like this sweet and sour taste, it's better to have spirits." ”
"You kid!" Yang Jishan put the wine glass to his mouth, drank it all, and then paused heavily, his face sank, "Say, what happened later?" ”
Yang Heihu didn't care what he thought of him, and said, "The minions didn't let them in, they all sent them away." ”
"Oh, they didn't make a fuss?" Yang Jishan was a little surprised by this result.
"No trouble."
Yang Jishan suddenly pushed away the pet concubine in his arms, stood up, took two steps in the flower hall, and said in a deep voice: "They have a contract in hand, so they won't just forget it." In this way, early tomorrow morning, you go to the county government and tell them that you are not allowed to take the case of Changshan Village! ”
"No!" Yang Heihu clenched his fists, wanting to continue to report the suspicious carriage just now, and saw that Yang Jishan had sat down again, hugging the pet concubine and kissing him, and finally held back.
Yang Jishan frolicked for a while, and found that Yang Heihu was still standing here, so he couldn't help but point to the two orchids dancing in the field, and said, "How is it?" Fancy, let her accompany you at night. ”
"Seventh Prince Xie, the slave is not good at this." Yang Heihu bowed and said, "If there is nothing else, the slave will retire." ”
"Go, go. What a boring guy. ”
……
At this time, the bolt also returned to Changshan Village.
The whole Changshan has become a big construction site again, as if it has returned to two months ago. Villagers pile up bamboo, wood and stones mined from the mountains. At the four corners of the village, wooden watchtowers have begun to take shape. The fence was almost torn down and rebuilt, with the stumps as pillars and reeds as walls.
Xiao Dapeng is leading dozens of villagers to brush the reconciled mud layer by layer onto the fence. Seeing that Liu Ziqiu arranged for someone to keep an eye on Yang Heihu, the young man finally believed that Liu Ziqiu would help him avenge him, and he felt that he had endless energy.
The bolt came over and asked, "Dapeng, where is Brother Da Niu?" ”
Xiao Dapeng raised his head, pointed to the place where the bamboo was stacked, and said, "Well, where is it." ”
The bolt hurriedly walked over, only to see Liu Ziqiu burying his head in picking bamboo. , I couldn't help asking: "Brother Da Niu, what are you doing here?" ”
"Oh, the bolt is back." Liu Ziqiu casually threw him a long bamboo and said, "Try it, will you do it?" ”
"What is this?"
"Bamboo spears, or bamboo spears, can also be used for assassination."
These are bamboos that are more than three years old, and Liu Ziqiu selected the right thickness from them, and one end is sharpened, which can be used as a spear. It's just not sharp enough, and it's easy to lose. But there's no way around it. The imperial court strictly forbade the people to use weapons such as spears, spears, horse lances, swords, bows and arrows, otherwise they would be punished as treason. However, this also has an advantage, there are many bamboos on the mountain, which can be described as inexhaustible.
The bolt took it and danced twice, and said excitedly: "Are you going to attack the salt field!" ”
"Attack your head! Take this to fight with others, and send it to death. Liu Ziqiu snatched the long bamboo, threw it to the villager in charge of cutting the spearhead, and said, "How is the situation?" ”
"As you instructed, we watched until we reached the fork in the road five miles east of the city, and watched them enter the city." The bolt said with some regret, "If you keep watching, you will definitely find their foothold!" ”
"Okay, keep an eye on it, and you'll let people do it." Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Let's go down and rest first." Tomorrow I will wait for them at the east gate, no carriage, you will carry the deputy burden alone, and I will let Ah Fu and Ah Gui protect you secretly. ”
The bolt agreed, took two steps, and suddenly asked, "Hey, Brother Niu, do you want to build a big house?" ”
In the center of the village, a large area of land has been leveled and the foundation has been dug up.
Liu Ziqiu chirped: "Am I the one who will leave everyone aside and enjoy alone?" It was the village school. ”
"The Academy." The bolt, who was not interested in reading, shook his head in disappointment, "If only we could build a schoolyard." ”
"you, I thought Lao Tzu was going to rebel!" Liu Ziqiu scolded with a smile, "Get out!" ”
Someone outside shouted: "Da Niu, the third aunt is back!" ”
Liu Ziqiu hurriedly put down the work in his hand, stepped forward and asked, "Third aunt, how are things connected?" ”
The third aunt sighed and said, "Don't mention it, I asked several gentlemen, who are either sitting in the museum, or think that we are too far away here." There is only one old man, who promised to come here in a few days to have a look, and whether it will be successful or not is still between the two. ”
Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, take your time, anyway, the school has not been built yet." We can set the conditions more generously, and we can control food and housing. No matter how hard you try, you have to find a way to get your children to read. ”
"It's good to have your words, and my little child can read in the future." The third aunt looked up at the construction site in full swing, frowned and asked, "Da Niu, could it be that the people of the Yang family are coming to slaughter the village again?" ”
A few months ago, it was Liu Ziqiu who skillfully set a trap to repel the night attack organized by the Yang family, so that Yang Jishan had to sign that contract, and everyone in the village still remembers that experience vividly.
"They won't be coming for a while. But it's also good to be prepared and prevent thieves. ”
Liu Ziqiu knew that what he was going to do next was a risky move, which was likely to provoke the Yang family's crazy revenge, at least so that the village could hold out until the officers and soldiers arrived. After all, the current Great Sui Dynasty is not in chaos, and the Yang family does not dare to go too far.
It was getting late, Liu Ziqiu asked everyone to go back to rest, but the villagers refused, lit torches, and rushed to work overnight. A few months ago, it was precisely because of Liu Ziqiu's strategy that they avoided a catastrophe. They had absolute trust in Liu Ziqiu's words, and insisted on completely pasting the fence wall, and Liu Ziqiu had no choice but to follow them.
Back in the courtyard, the lights in Gao Xiuer's room had not been extinguished. Liu Ziqiu knocked lightly twice, pushed the door in, and saw Gao Xiu'er hurriedly stuffing something behind him.
