Chapter 37: The Yang Family's Lair

On the small mound behind Changshan Village, a new grave was erected, two low pine trees swayed in the cold wind, and the smooth stone tablet in front of the grave had not yet had time to write the name and life of the tomb owner. Liu Ziqiu bowed deeply three times, looked up into the distance, and said lightly: "Dapeng, you are still a little unconvinced, right?" ”

Xiao Dapeng snorted and did not speak. Sixteen or seventeen-year-olds are in the rebellious period of their youth.

Liu Ziqiu's face suddenly sank, and he said, "Do you remember what your grandfather said before leaving?" ”

"Long, the eldest brother is like a father." Xiao Dapeng snorted, "But you are not from our Xiao family." ”

Liu Ziqiu sneered: "Then what is left of your Xiao family now?" ”

Last night, Liu Ziqiu invited a few older villagers into his home and carefully learned about the history of the Xiao family. The Xiao family has been a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River since the Liang Dynasty, but the people have not been prosperous, and the most famous figure is Xiao Xin's eldest brother Xiao Maha.

Xiao Maha was originally a general of Nan Chen, known for his bravery. His wife died early, and he married a stepfamily, who was beautiful and beautiful. At that time, the Sui army was attacking Chen, and Xiao Maha was fighting hard in front, but Chen Shubao took a fancy to his stepwife, causing Xiao Maha to refuse to do his best, and was defeated by the Sui army, so he surrendered. brought it, Xiao Maha followed the Han King Yang Liang to rebel, and was finally captured and killed by Yang Su.

Xiao Xin has never participated in court politics, and chose to live in seclusion in Changshan Village before the Sui army crossed the river, so he was not implicated by Xiao Maha. Although the Xiao family is a prestigious family and has been brilliant, most of their property is fields and mansions, and they can't be turned into cash in a hurry, and when they fled to Changshan Village, they actually didn't have much softness, and with the amount of money they used over the years, life became more and more difficult.

These villagers used to be the slaves of the Xiao family, and several of the older ones were still loyal to the Xiao family, but the younger generation was not. Xiao Xin can still suppress them when he is alive, if he is gone, it is not possible to rely on Xiao Dapeng as a teenager. Xiao Xin is a smart person, he has seen this a long time ago. At this time, Liu Ziqiu "returned to his hometown", so he entrusted Changshan Village and Xiao Dapeng to Liu Ziqiu before his death.

He knows his own family affairs that Xiao Dapeng has not enjoyed a few days of happiness since he was born, but he just took the name of a prestigious family, so he couldn't help but hang his head, but soon raised his head again and said, "I want to avenge my grandfather!" ”

Liu Ziqiu bowed his head and said, "Who is the enemy?" ”

"It's the Yang family!"

"There are a lot of people in the Yang family."

"The one who injured grandpa was that Yang Heihu!"

"Oh, are you sure you can beat Yang Heihu?"

When Yang Heihu and Liu Ziqiu competed that day, Xiao Dapeng was also in the crowd watching the battle. Although Liu Ziqiu finally beat Yang Heihu, he had been hit by Yang Heihu many times before. Xiao Dapeng knows that his kung fu is much worse than Liu Ziqiu, and he is not Yang Heihu's opponent, how easy is it to take revenge?

Xiao Dapeng was a little discouraged, but he refused to bow his head easily, and said stubbornly: "If you can help my grandfather avenge it, I will truly obey you, the eldest brother!" ”

"I will definitely take revenge! But that's not a condition for you to admit that I'm your big brother. Liu Ziqiu stepped forward to help him up, and said, "Dapeng, don't you still understand what the second uncle means?" He asked me to help you, whether the Xiao family can really revive depends on you, and one day the Xiao family will still be handed over to you. ”

Although the Xiao family has declined, there are still people. More than 300 people in 78 households are the foundation for Liu Ziqiu to form his own strength. Therefore, Liu Ziqiu happily accepted Xiao Xin's deathbed entrustment. Of course, Xiao Xin's condition is that he take care of Xiao Dapeng.

However, Xiao Dapeng is the young master of the Xiao family after all, if he is not allowed to recognize the situation and appease him, there is no way to twist Changshan Village into a rope.

Xiao Dapeng didn't feel ashamed, and said, "Big brother, I was wrong! ”

Liu Ziqiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go back to the village." ”

On the way back to the village, Ah An hurriedly walked over and whispered in Liu Ziqiu's ear: "Ah Lang, the salt farm didn't let them in. ”

Liu Ziqiu was not surprised, and asked in a deep voice, "Are everyone okay?" ”

Ah An said: "Everyone is fine, they have returned to the village. ”

Yesterday, no one came to the salt factory to urge them to work, and Liu Ziqiu expected that the salt factory had recruited new people.

With the loss of 100 salt buters, the output of the salt farm will be sharply reduced by one-third or even more, and a lot of income will be lost every day of delay, and it is impossible for the Yang family to sit and wait.

Liu Ziqiu was worried about the conflict between the villagers and the salt works, so before the villagers set off this morning, he repeatedly stressed that the villagers should exercise restraint. Because Liu Ziqiu knew that the Yang family would definitely prepare thugs in the salt farm, and only the villagers would suffer at that time.

Even so, Liu Ziqiu was still not very relieved, and sent the four Kunlun slaves out and followed the villagers. Stay on top of the situation and help if necessary.

Bolt, Er Zhuang and dozens of young and strong villagers were talking there, some looking angry and some sighing. Seeing Liu Ziqiu coming in, they all gathered around.

The villagers said in a gossipy voice: "Big cow, the salt farm won't let us in, you have to be our master!" ”

Although the second strong man is not as tall as Liu Ziqiu, his body is stronger than Liu Ziqiu, and his temper is the hottest, and he said in a rough voice: "Brother Da Niu, you are good, take us and rush in." If you don't let us do it, no one will want to do it! Dig up the dikes and flood the salt pans, and no one will try to curry favor. ”

Although Liu Ziqiu's real name is already known, the villagers are still accustomed to calling Liu Ziqiu "Big Niu".

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "Erzhuang, if you quarrel with your daughter-in-law, do you have to dismantle the bed, and no one wants to sleep?" ”

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was relieved.

Liu Ziqiu suddenly said: "Everyone remembers it." The salt farm is not only the Yang family, but also our Changshan Village! We can't do anything that hurts both sides! ”

The bolt hesitated: "But now the salt field is dominated by the Yang family......

"He's domineering, let's take it back!" Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "However, this matter can't be forced, it needs to be outwitted." Didn't we have a contract with the Yang family at the beginning? Go to the government first, Yuan County Ling is a guarantor. ”

Xiao Dapeng frowned and said: "Big brother, you don't know yet, Yuan Tiangang has already resigned from the office, and now Ouyang Yu, the chief bookkeeper, is temporarily in charge of county affairs." ”

"Yuan Tiangang resigned? When was this? "Liu Ziqiu's main purpose when he came back this time was to meet Yuan Tiangang. Now, Yuan Tiangang actually resigned, which caught him off guard.

Xiao Dapeng thought for a while and said, "It was about half a month ago. I heard that there was a man named Li Chunfeng who brought two pieces of gold and wanted to worship him as a teacher. He took Li Chunfeng into the mountain to teach art. ”

"Yuan Tiangang is not here, an acting county commander will not care much about the disputes between us and the Yang family, and the road of seeking help from the government will not work." Liu Ziqiu was silent for a while and said, "No one is allowed to leak out about my return to Changshan Village!" Bolts, Erzhuang, you stay for a while, and the others will disperse first. ”

From the beginning, Liu Ziqiu did not expect the government to stand up for Changshan Village. Even if Yuan Tiangang is still in Yanguan County, he will definitely not be able to compete with a behemoth like the Yang family. But if there is the help of the government, at least Liu Ziqiu can deal with it more conveniently.

Before thinking about victory, thinking about defeat first, this is Liu Ziqiu's consistent style of acting, and Liu Ziqiu began to assign tasks.

"Erzhuang, you take some people and go to the mountains to cut more bamboo. Try to choose a stiffer one, cut it into a length of one foot and five feet, and sharpen one end. ”

"Dapeng, you lead the villagers to lay tree stumps around the village, tie up the fence tightly, paste the outside with river mud, build rammed earth on the inside, and build a watchtower at each of the four corners."

The bolt became excited and asked, "Brother Niu, what about me?" ”

Liu Ziqiu said: "Bolt, you have been working in the salt field, do you know Yang Jishan and Yang Heihu?" ”

"Of course I do."

"Do you know where they live?"

The bolt shook his head and said, "Brother Da Niu, you also know that when the salt farm was first built, Yang Heihu lived in the field. After the salt was released from the salt farm, Yang Heihu went out early and returned late, and Yang Jishan only came to turn around every once in a while. Where they live, we really don't know. ”

"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles. We want to take back the rights that belong to us, and we don't even know where Yang Jishan and them live, how can this be done? Liu Ziqiu patted the bolt and said, "So, there is a very important but dangerous task to be entrusted to you." ”

The bolt puffed out his chest and said, "Brother Da Niu, say it." I promise to complete the mission! ”

Although he was born thin, he was a little bold and quite clever, which is why Liu Ziqiu chose him.

Liu Ziqiu's face became solemn and said, "In addition to the salt farm, the Yang family must have a place to settle in Yanguan County. If what I expected is good, Yang Heihu should live with Yang Jishan. Your task is to find out where to stay! ”

This mission is thrilling, and once it is discovered by the people of the Yang family, it is likely to be killed by them. The newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and looked extremely excited, and said: "Brother Da Niu, don't worry, even if I go through Yanguan City, I will find out the Yang family's lair!" ”

……

It was getting late, and Yang Heihu walked out of the salt field, followed by four henchmen. When Yang Heihu came from the north, he brought a whole horse team, but after the salt field was completed, Yang Xiaogan transferred the horse team away. However, Yang Heihu was left behind. On the one hand, it is to protect Yang Jishan's safety, and on the other hand, it is also to keep an eye on the salt farm. The salt field has become an important source of income for the Yang family, and naturally there is no room for loss.

Out of the salt field, Yang Heihu and his entourage galloped five or six miles in the direction of Yanguancheng, and a carriage suddenly appeared in front of them. The car was full of firewood, and there was a teenager sitting on the pile of firewood, with a piece of straw in his mouth, and he didn't know what he was humming.

Yang Heihu rode by and saw that the young man's figure was a little familiar, and he looked closely, but he didn't know it. Looking at the driver's dark skin and the farmer's dress, he looks a bit like a Kunlun slave from Nanyang, but it is a little different.
