Emperor Chai said a lot of dreams to Xiaogui.

Some were unwilling, but there was one thing, and he did it in history.

In his hands, the city of Tokyo was indeed transformed into a city that merchants loved.

The Tibetans, Uighurs, Khitans, and Nanzhao came to do business, and even the Jurchens in the dense forests of the northeast came to pay tribute.

The streets became densely packed, with residents and shops living in them, not a square and a function in the Tang Dynasty, but a metropolis that developed freely.

The merchant world will grow savagely on its own, and as long as the politicians don't bother them, they will appear.

But for the merchant world to prosper and be full of confidence, it takes the wisdom of the city's managers.

Like what:

who will repair the roads between cities;

The roads within the city, who will clean them;

Do you want to provide sewers to the city;

Do you want to provide a fire brigade for the city;

Do you want to provide the city with police;

You are handing over the management of the market to the officials,

Or endure the complaints of the common people, waiting for the merchants to form guilds or guilds by themselves.

If you were not an emperor who was born as a merchant, it would be impossible for you to have such wisdom.

But from ancient times to the present, how many emperors have been born as merchants?

Therefore, the growth of Tokyo City (including Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty was also in this style) is really a coincidence that has never been seen before or since, and the source of this coincidence is the merchant emperor Chai Rong.

Most emperors, in fact, like the Tang Emperor, like the square lattice road, because when the road is patrolled, the common people can kneel very neatly.

There are also emperors who especially want the city to be secluded, and it is better to have no cars or horses, and it is better to move all the yamen and schools to the suburbs, and he looks at the gray old houses and pigeons with whistles every day, so that the city is like when he was a child, and he feels happy.

But commercial civilization also has a function of hiding dirt and dirt, when your city is full of buying and selling shops, your enemies will be better hidden, in "Water Margin", Song Jiang and Song Huizong went to the same club and got into a relationship.

Zhao Kuangyin knew that the assassination of Chai Rong's living corpse was not sent by the Northern Han, but the Northern Han were indeed using the power in Tokyo City and planning something, and they did have another group of assassins.

The most recent hiding place for these people is a Shanxi wine house.

Most businessmen don't like the forbidden army, and when most of the forbidden army officers inquire about the news, they often blast all the customers who haven't checked out the door to check their identities first (of course, no one checks out afterwards), and naturally they can't get the news they want.

But when Xu Yongzhi's first capital began to take over this kind of task, he asked his subordinates to use more methods such as disguise and bribery, and use beggars to help disciples and young men become their own eyeliner.

Xu Yongzhi also specially trained everyone to use short guns and swords in order to fight in a narrow room.

In the past, if the forbidden army found the enemy, they would only shout and force the people in the house to come out, otherwise they would have to set fire, but they did not dare to really set fire, otherwise the whole city would be burned.

Sealing the road, catching the live mouth, and ending a nest are always the most important points of this kind of secret operation.

Tonight, the first day of October, there is no moon in the sky.

The guest wine house is a Shanxi wine house, specializing in the distilled Shanxi apricot blossom wine, the wine is mellow, although the appetizer is average, but the northerners like this style very much.

The base camp of the Northern Han Dynasty is Shanxi Taiyuan Mansion, and the Shanxi wine house in Kaifeng Mansion has always been a place where the Northern Han Dynasty is willing to come.

The proprietress of the wine house said that she was a guest, but she was secretly ventilating the people of the Northern Han Dynasty, and when the forbidden army came, she helped them cover up.

The upstairs panes were shining, and a group of Northern Han and assassins were gathering on the second floor.

Xu Yongzhi brought fifty brothers, but after guarding the various sides of the intersection, there were only seven people left around him.

Lei Song has already mobilized the Kaifeng Mansion to help the fast hunting, if it arrives, there will be five hundred people, but looking at this situation, maybe everyone will have to do it first.

Xing Dayun held a short gun, "Command, are you on?" ”

"Come on, don't wait." Xu Yongzhi replied.

Xing Dayun pushed open the door of the store, Xu Yongzhi entered the door, said loudly "The forbidden army checks the store", and went upstairs without hesitation.

The proprietress is in her forties, and she came to pull Xu Yongzhi when she came up.

"Master Jun, why are you in such a hurry, sit down and drink......"

Xing Da used the handle of the gun to block the proprietress and made a "shhhhh

Xu Yongzhi walked up to the second floor with three people.

At this time, the Northern Han Dynasty workers above were already half-drunk.

A man pushed the door out, ready to continue to ask the proprietress for wine, but when he pushed the door open, Xu Yongzhi had already walked up the stairs with a gloomy face.

The man turned around and ran back indoors.

"The Forbidden Army is coming!"

These fine works of the Northern Han Dynasty also belong to different forces, and the Great Zhou, the Northern Han Dynasty also has different yamen such as the front division of the palace, the infantry army and the horse army, and the degree of mutual defense and fighting between them is not weaker than the degree of guarding against the forbidden army of the Great Zhou.

So when they finally decided to sit down today, have a drink with their own people, and plan a big event, they put all their swords and sabers in the cabinet at the door, so that even if they were drunk, everyone could only throw glasses at each other and not hurt each other.

A few quick-eyed people began to fold the legs of the stool, and those who were close to the door wanted to rush to the cabinet.

It was too late, Xu Yongzhi had already swung his sword and nailed the shoulder of the man who wanted wine to the wall, and the man screamed miserably and fell to the ground.

Two people grabbed the sword in their hands, and they were about to put it right with Xu Yongzhi, but where was Xu Yongzhi's opponent, and they were cut to the ground by the two swords.

The three brothers behind Xu Yongzhi also found their opponents and stabbed down the three Northern Han people who rushed over with their stool legs.

"Hurry up, hurry up," shouted a man who looked like a leader.

Someone kicked open the door to the second-floor hallway and jumped into the first-floor hallway.

Xing Dayun was quick-eyed, and kicked over a big Eight Immortals table, the man tripped over the table, fell to the ground, and was held down by the soldiers beside Xing Dayun.

There were also people who opened the nearby window and jumped out, but the door was so well arranged that those who jumped were immediately caught or cut down.

There were also a dozen or so people trapped in the room, and after discovering that all roads had been interrupted, they had a desperate mind.

"Let's fight."

"Put down your weapons," Xu Yongzhi said, "and you can get leniency if you confess." ”

"What nonsense!" Several people rushed over with table legs, short knives and candlesticks, and were slashed to the ground by Xu Yongyi.

"You eagle dogs, ......" The man who took the lead moaned in the bloodstains, touched the short knife in front of him, and was kicked away by Xu Yongzhi's soldiers, stabbed the back of the heart with a short spear, and lost his breath.

A young man huddled in the innermost part of the room, shivering, this man was almost a child.

Later, Xu Yongzhi learned that this was the son of the proprietress of the wine house, because those people in the Northern Han Dynasty looked rough and heroic, and they were very envious, thinking that they were heroes, so they joined them.

Xu Yongzhi waved his hand and asked him to come over.

"How old?"

"Seventeen."

Xu Yongzhi knew that he would not survive.

Da Zhou's beheading, even those over the age of 16 can't escape.

Chai Rong was tolerant of prisoners of war, but he was meticulous and merciless to spies.

"Say sixteen to Kaifeng Mansion, and then plead with the master."

When the soldiers of Kaifeng Mansion arrived, the battle was already over, and Xu Yongzhi's seven men killed twenty-one Northern Han Xizuo and captured five people alive, including the proprietress of the wine house, mother and son.

"Congratulations." Xing Dayun congratulated Lei Song and Xu Yongzhi.

"Tonight, I'll go home and live." Xu Yongzhi's face was ugly, and he left quickly.

Lei Song wanted to hold him and explain why he was late, but he didn't stop.

"Commander, don't blame him, I was like this at the beginning," Xing Dayun said to Lei Song, "The first time I kill someone, some people will feel very good, but my feeling is very bad." ”

Xing Dayun caught up and whispered: "If you can't do it, find a woman, these two days will be very difficult, find a way to make yourself happier." ”

"Thank you, Chief." Xu Yongzhi walked away quickly.

Xu Yongzhi walked to the bridge in front of him and vomited by the river.

Of course, Xu Gongzi is not the first time to kill.

But the bandits, horse bandits, and soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty who killed him were all people who wanted to kill him.

This is the first time that he has killed someone on behalf of the "royal law".

This will happen many, many more times in the future.

He felt a little uneasy when he thought of the half-grown child with fear in his eyes.

I killed for power, I killed for power.

He returned home in despair and asked Chirp Ash to send a letter to Xiaogui.

"I saw the look in the boy's eyes, he was no different from us...... If I kill for power, will my hands still be clean, and will my eyes continue to be clear? Do I have the power to decide the life and death of others? ”

At this time, you should talk to someone who has come over, such as the eldest brother Zhao Kuangyin, unfortunately, Zhao Kuangyin is too busy.

The Great Zhou Forbidden Army has a very human nature, that is, if they kill someone for the first time in their daily security operations, they will be granted three days off.

The officers and soldiers all call this holiday "a blood holiday", and in the past three days, Xu Yongzhi can think about this issue carefully.

He couldn't eat, and for the first time, the blood splattered made him feel so sick.

Xiaogui's reply came back the next day.

"Don't think about it, just get used to it. I advised you to be a soldier, that's what you want. ”

There is a kind of reproach in this.

"I warned you a long time ago."

In fact, he had been reminded a long time ago that it was not just the matter of being a soldier.

Before going to the coloring garden, why didn't Xiaogui remind him?

Xiaogui, Xiaogui, why did you suddenly become so cold.

There was a knock on the door.

"It's me, Childe."

"Beautiful." Xu Yongzhi hurriedly sat up and tidied up his clothes, "Please come in." ”

"Are you uncomfortable?" Duan Meimei looked concerned.

"I, I'm sad."

"What's wrong?"

"I killed someone."

"You're killing all the bad guys." Duan Meimei walked over and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Not necessarily."

"Nothing, not necessarily."

"I have a child who is only seventeen, and I think it's pitiful to let him be sentenced to death like this." Xu Yongzhi said.

"But they want to kill Emperor Chai, they want to kill Brother Zhao, if you don't raid their nest, they will already succeed." Duan Meimei's words went straight to the point.

"yes, I didn't think of that." Xu Yongzhi understood at once.

"Some enemies may be pitiful, but in order to defend those who are important to you, you can only do that." Duan Meimei said.

"Why didn't Xiaogui persuade me like this, was she too busy, or didn't care about my feelings at all?" Xu Yong thought about this in his heart.

Duan Meimei leaned over and hugged Xu Yongzhi's head, who was sitting on the bed, but Xu Yongzhi did not break free.

Duan Meimei's heart pounded.

The folk saying is:

A man's head and a woman's waist can't be fished out of two people.

Holding Xu Yongzhi like this, it is like a couple who have been in love for a long time.

In fact, Xia Xiaogui, who was far away in Jinling, felt uncomfortable.

Seeing the letter brought by Chirp Ash, she clearly understood Xu Yongzhi's feelings in her heart.

Xu Gongzi grew up in a wizarding family.

He is the son of the floating rivers and lakes, the son of a merchant, although he has read through "The Ram", he does not agree with the justice of killing for the monarch.

Xiaogui can understand that if he wants to persuade Xu Yongzhi, he can only persuade him with people who are important to him.

So Xiaogui replied to two letters, one letter was cold and polite, so that Xu Gongzi slowly got used to it.

Another letter was written to Duan Meimei, asking Duan Meimei to persuade Gongzi Xu, and to use Emperor Chai and Brother Zhao to persuade him.

"Chirp ashes, go find Duan Meimei first, and then send a letter to Xu Gongzi."

The chirping ash flew away with the letter.

Xiao Gui sighed secretly.

"This fool, will you understand this painstaking work?"

When Duan Meimei saw the letter, she was a little surprised at first, but later understood that this was Xiaogui's kindness, and she immediately understood.

"That's fine."

She knocked on Xu Yongzhi's door, persuaded him, and hugged him......

And kissed him.

Chen Xiaohuan was right in one of his short messages:

"So many people help you, don't miss it again."

Duan Meimei hugged Xu Yongzhi tightly.

She untied his clothes, as well as her own.

I stumbled for a long time.

"Forget it." Xu Yongzhi said dejectedly.

Duan Meimei let out a long sigh.

"I'm sorry," Xu Yongzhi said, "I may really not be able to." ”

"It's just me." Duan Meimei said.

"I'm sorry, I can't seem to do it with all the women." Xu Yongzhi said dejectedly.

"It's okay with Forsythia." Duan Meimei said.

"It just won't work after that." Xu Yongzhi said.

"But it's okay with Xiaogui." Duan Meimei said.

"...... right"

Xu Yongzhi wanted to say "I'm sorry", but suddenly remembered what Li Lianyi said.

"The man who hates you the most says I'm sorry, and with an apology, he can hurt you with impunity."

Xu Yongzhi put away the sentence "I'm sorry".

"I'm also puzzled, Xiaogui, it seems to be an exception."

"It's my life that suffers, and I don't blame others."

Duan Meimei got dressed, pushed the door and went out.

This sentence is actually the most hurtful.

Xu Yongzhi sighed, do you want to find Xu Taiyue tomorrow to see the pulse?

Forget it, how can I mention this to the old man......

Tomorrow, I'll flip through the medical books and try an ancient recipe.

As soon as Duan Meimei returned to her room, Chen Xiaofan's black bird came outside the window.

"Did you get Xu Gongzi? I guess not yet. If you want me to see it, this person may be frightened. I know a master who has a similar home remedies, if you are interested, ride to Songshan early tomorrow morning, give him this note, and he will help you solve your problem. ”

Damn, more than 300 miles. Duan Meimei pondered for a moment, and then she ...... her riding skills Then look down.

"I'll arrange a good horse for you, and that horse will be yours from now on."

"This girl is really weird." Duan Meimei looked at Chen Xiaohuan's note again.

remembered the quarrel between her and herself outside the door of the Mountain Inn.

"This girl really helps."

She slept, and slept deeply.

In the dream, she and Xu Yongzhi worshiped heaven and earth, and when it came time to enter the cave room, Xu Yongzhi was full of excitement.

"Come inside!" Xu Yongzhi in the dream said excitedly.

The door of the cave room was locked, and Duan Meimei took out a large set of keys.

This one isn't, that one isn't, this ...... Not yet......

I finally found it, but the lock just won't open.

I watched as the key grew shorter and softer, until it was like a konjac that couldn't open the door......

In a hurry, the person wakes up.

There is no Xu Gongzi, the quilt that was kicked away in his sleep has become cold in the autumn cold.

There was a powerful neighing of horses at the gate of the courtyard.

"The horse, sure enough, came."
