The sky was slightly bright, a wisp of fish belly white appeared in the east, Yang Mingfan got up in his clothes, pushed the window and looked out, a cold wind blew in his face, making his mind clear and his thinking sharpened.

Speaking of which, he was a little angry, last night, Yang Mingfei actually took someone to Tie Laosi's house to register Tie Laosi's two children, which made him a little worried, although he was going to deal with Tie Jun, but now is not the time to completely tear his face, Yang Mingfei did this, obviously it will further intensify the conflict.

But since the incident has happened, it is useless to just blame, not to mention, the third child has also been beaten by the fourth iron, and he has to get the scene back.

"One by one, it's really not worry-free!!" He sighed inwardly, turned and walked away from the window, pushed the door open, and paced back and forth in the courtyard.

This is one of his habits, whenever he encounters a major matter and needs to make a decision, he will be used to thinking about problems in his own yard and under the osmanthus tree.

The Yang family is a big family in the county, but it is not yet a strong family, Yang Mingfan's greatest wish is to make his family a strong family in Tanglin County.

What is Haoqiang?

The home of a county and a government is called a strong family, and the home of a state and a county is called a family.

The system of Datang is a four-level system of state, county, government and county.

The world is divided into 81 counties in Kyushu.

Only the family that can dominate in the land of a county is qualified to be called a family, and the family that dominates in the land of a county is called Haoqiang.

A hundred years of heroism, a thousand years of family.

The power of the Yang family is very strong in Tanglin, but it is not strong enough to ignore the opponent, although it has established its own Zhuangzi, but the surrounding villages still dare to oppose the Yang family's Zhuangzi, although it has a good business, but there are many business opponents in the county, which can not be called Haoqiang.

The Haoqiang clan, in a county, it is impossible to have so many opponents, the Haoqiang clan needs to monopolize at least half of the county's commerce and one-third of the land, the Haoqiang clan, no one dares to compete with it, the Haoqiang clan, even if it is a local official, must be careful to deal with, not like now, a county order from the seven grades can come to the call, linger and go, the Haoqiang clan, at least one or two people can hold the real power in the county.

This is the powerful family.

At a young age, he had a very prosperous name, and he originally had some ambitions, but unfortunately his luck was not good, in the past twenty or thirty years, the discipline of the imperial court was corrupted, and the imperial examination system was also affected, except for a very small number of real geniuses with peerless talents, the people in the field were all monopolized by the powerful family, although the Yang family had a small power in Tangling, but such a powerful force was placed in the entire Tang Dynasty, not even a sesame seed, where could it be compared with those powerful families, although he Yang Mingfan was small and talented, but it could not be called a shocking independence, Therefore, after several failures, he simply put his mind to the imperial examination, single-mindedly ran the family, and vowed to run the Yang family into a powerful family in Tanglin.

Since then, he has been immersed in the camp, relying on the family's power in Tanglin, entered the county government, started from a small scribe, and became a pivotal in the county government, under one person, above ten thousand masters, and the Yang family is also under his protection, in recent years, it has expanded very quickly.

His second brother was originally just a small boss who operated groceries, but in ten years, he became the boss of the cloth industry in Tanglin County, almost monopolized the supply of cloth in Tanglin, and began to operate the grain business in the past two years, and has become one of the top grain merchants in Tanglin.

And his third brother Yang Mingfei is manipulating the underground world of Tanglin, seventy percent of the gangsters are under his control, relying on the net laid by Yang Mingfei, any wind and grass in Tanglin can not hide from his ears and eyes, and his control over Tanglin, at least Tanglin County, has been greatly strengthened, so that these county commanders cannot leave him, because he means the order of Tanglin.

Originally, in Tanglin, the only people who could compete with him were the head catcher Tie Gu and the big grain merchant Lu Pingcheng, Lu Pingcheng didn't talk about him, because he was not a native of Tanglin at all, but a branch of the Lu family in Qiaojun, the Lu family in Qiaojun is a big family in the county, and its influence is all over Qiaojun, Lu Pingcheng is a representative of the Lu family in Tanglin, and there is little conflict of interest with him, and the only one who can really call him an opponent is the Tie family.

The Tie family is also a native of Tanglin, familiar with the people, wide access, and the Yang family is different from the heirloom, the Tie family has been running errands in the yamen for several generations, all of them have a good force, to this generation, Tie Guts is with a good martial arts, become the head catcher of Tanglin.

But even so, Yang Mingfan has never regarded the Tie family as an opponent.

Never.

Because the Tie family is not afraid in his eyes, it is just a group of martial artists, and the people are not prosperous, Tie Dan's generation, although there are four brothers, the second and third died as early as their youth, only Tie Dan and the fourth Tie family are left, although there are still a lot of relatives in the clan, but the cohesion of the Tie family is not strong, and has always been a servant of the Yamen, and there is no business of their own, and there is not enough land, and most importantly, they don't seem to have the same mind as him, in Yang Mingfan's opinion, the Tie family is not worried.

But all this changed with the appearance of Tie Jun, inexplicably, this kid suddenly jumped from a small catcher to a court official, from the county lieutenant of Bapin, and pressed him alive, which made him very uncomfortable.

That's it, uncomfortable is uncomfortable, as long as it doesn't affect his plans and ambitions, he doesn't mind cooperating with this county lieutenant, but the development of things is not based on his will.

After becoming the county lieutenant, Tie Jun actually worshipped the sword cultivator of the six doors as a teacher, and suddenly had the background of the six doors, and his power increased greatly, and what was even worse was that the sword cultivator of the six doors retreated due to injury and stayed in Tanglin County.

Subsequently, the Zhangshui River changed, Tie Jun saved the people of Zhou Wangji, killed the five masters of Weihu Village, and for a while, the prestige of Tanglin County was unparalleled, and he became a young hero in people's mouths, a new star, as for his master, who doesn't remember?

With the ascension of Tie Jun, the people of the Tie family seem to have begun to move, relatives who have not left for decades have begun to move, and the old people in the clan also have frequent gatherings, it is said that they want to rebuild the ancestral hall, think about it, now the Tie family has a court official, of course, to comfort the ancestors.

This is what he is most worried about, Tie Jun's ascension, the cohesion of the Tie family, coupled with the influence of the Tie clan in the county, will have a great impact on his plans.

The so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and a small county like Tanglin cannot tolerate two strong people, which is the reason why he is nervous, so he will secretly suppress Tie Jun.

All the thoughts of the Tie family start with Tie Jun, as long as Tie Jun is pressed down, everything is easy to solve.

That's why he connived at Yang Mingfei to provoke the Tie family, to be honest, he didn't put Tie Jun in his eyes, a sixteen-year-old boy, can know what to say, even if it is iron gall, he doesn't put it in his eyes, he has been doing business together for so many years, he still knows how many catties and taels Tie Jun has, this may be a little bold, talk about some spirit, but when it comes to fighting hearts, he is really a few streets away from himself.

"Well, since the third child has already met Tie Lao Si and made a register of the names of his children, it is better to do this, if Tie Guts comes to me to intercede, I will cross out the names of Tie Laosi's children from the book, just take this opportunity to hit Tie Jun's prestige again!"

He thought carefully, responsible for the selection of boys and girls, this is a mixed blessing, his advantage is that he can see half a step more than others, at the beginning, everyone will feel that this is an offending thing, so the county order will hand over this matter to him, but he saw an opportunity from it, once he got this power, it is equivalent to getting the power of life and death of boys and girls in the county, in a short period of time, in the county, at least most of the people will look up to his nose, succumb to his obscenity, with the help of this power, He can let the Yang family expand further in a short period of time, and I believe that as time goes by, more and more people will see the mystery and will be enthusiastic about this right to kill and kill, maybe they will use their brains, and what he has to do is to hand over this power at the right time and for a proper reason.

Before things get out of hand.

This power is not as rosy as it seems, as everyone has been concerned about at the beginning, this is a work that offends people, and most importantly, the number of boys and girls in Tanglin County is limited, how many times can they be sacrificed?

And as more and more virgins and virgins were sacrificed, the resentment of the people would become heavier and heavier, and when the resentment broke out, the person who held this power would be torn apart by the anger of the people, so he was never prepared to hold this power for long.

And when he chooses boys and girls, he also tries his best to choose those who have no strength in the county, some down-and-out, boys and girls who can't live at home, as for the old Chen family in the mountain village, it is entirely because the grievances of the two families are too deep, he wants to take this opportunity to get rid of the Chen family, and establish authority in the county, and the four families of Tie Lao are also intentional, because he wants to use this matter to induce the Tie family to take this plate, in his mind, the boys and girls of the Tie family are included in the scope of sacrifice, one is to set an example for the whole county, let them know that they are not blindly looking for the children of poor families to bully the soft and afraid of the hard, the second is to let the Tie family make a counterattack, further isolate the Tie family, and hit the prestige of Tie Jun, and the third is to induce the Tie family to take over his power in order to keep his own children, so that he can easily get out, everything is in his calculations, the only fly in the ointment is that the third child started a little earlier, originally in his plan, It was to include the two children of Tie Lao Si in the roster when it was necessary to sacrifice to the river god for the second time.
