Section 275 Thieves

Qingyuan Hou Ding Wei is always old, but in terms of accumulating money, he will not show mercy at all. Speaking www.biquge.info of which, Cui Yangguang was also dizzy, and he would follow Ding Wei to marry Princess Wenyuan. Otherwise, it would not have provoked Yang Tianhong to be furious. Every time he thought of this, Xu Yuantong would scold Cui Yangguang, who had died, in his heart. It's okay if you **** die or not, you don't have to drag everyone in Lizhou into the water together. Now that Yang Tianhong controls the power of Lizhou, what should he do if he has to hand over what originally belonged to him?

Regarding the proposal of forming an alliance with the Ding family in Tongzhou, Xu Yuantong still felt that it was not so solid. Xu Yuantong knew all the things that happened in the capital. Especially the boss of the Ding family led the cavalry to besiege Yang Tianhong, and all the details were probed. The matter is obvious, the 2,000 cavalry killed in the battle is the most elite private army of the Ding family, and it is also the essence of the Tongzhou army. Even these people are gone, what will the Ding family do to deal with Yang Tianhong? In the end, I am afraid that they will still have to contribute to their own Lizhou army.

This kind of thing of making wedding dresses for others, of course Xu Yuantong will not agree. Therefore, for the man's full promise, Xu Yuantong just smiled in his heart and did not speak.

The man was a little unsure of Xu Yuantong's attitude, but he was just the other party's thoughts, and he could guess some. He thought for a while, lowered his voice and said, "General Xu, my young master said it clearly in the letter. The two armies of Tongzhou and Lizhou have always been both prosperous and loss-making. Yang Tianhong got the Lizhou Army Tiger Talisman from Changhu Hou Cui Yangguang, if he is fully in charge of Lizhou, the next thing is our Tongzhou. Of course, if General Xu wants to sit next to him and watch the jokes, he can do it. After all, this knife was also cut at the Lizhou army first, and then it was our turn to be in the same state. When the time comes, my young master will also have time to clean up the situation and straighten out the army. It's a big deal, fight with him Yang Tianhong to break the net. It's just that General Xu was not so lucky. Maybe. The Xu family will also be driven by Yang Tianhong, and fight to the death with our Tongzhou army. ”

Xu Yuantong's face suddenly became very ugly. The man's speech is ugly, but the coherence is very clear, and he does not exaggerate. The same state and the previous state are indeed complementary in this issue. If the Lizhou army is finished, the Tongzhou army will inevitably not end well. But if you can't get the assistance of the Tongzhou Army, you just rely on the strength of the Lizhou Army. It is absolutely impossible to compete with the Xuanhuo Army under Yang Tianhong.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuantong also made up his mind: "So, when do you want your son-in-law to do it?"

The man had a smile on his face, and his voice raised a few points: "General Xu Mingjian, my second son said that it is best to take advantage of the ......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a sudden rush of footsteps outside. In a moment, a guard of the Xu family stumbled from outside and pushed open the false door panel with a "bang". shouted hoarsely: "Old, master, it's not good, those soldiers from the capital, they have come in." ”

Xu Yuantong suddenly stood up from the chair, the muscles on his face twitched, and he hurriedly asked, "Speak clearly, don't panic." Make things clear. ”

The guard ran out of breath and didn't wait for his breath. Before he could speak, the sound of shouting and killing and the collision of weapons could already be heard in the direction of the distant mansion gate.

There was already a cry in the voice of the guard: "Master, the Xuanhuo Army has come in, it is the Xuanhuo Army that has come in." ”

Xuanhuo Army?

Yang Tianhong?

Xu Yuantong subconsciously glanced at the man standing opposite, and hurriedly said, "You go quickly, get out of the city immediately." ”

The man also knew that the matter was urgent. He hugged his fists and saluted Xu Yuan, grabbed the burden on the chair, and turned around to go out. As soon as he walked to the door, he was hit in the chest by a rushing force, and the whole person was knocked upside down and flew in. Pressed against tables and chairs, crushing beautifully crafted furniture into a pile of sawdust fragments.

More than a dozen Yang Mansion guards jumped from the roof. The first person to walk in front was Yang Tianhong's personal guard Yang Sheng.

Qi cultivators can kill ordinary people with a casual blow. However, Yang Sheng did not make a ruthless move. It is more valuable to have a living mouth that can speak than a dead person.

The shouts of killing in the distance were closer. Bloodstained family members kept appearing at the door. It's just that before he rushed closer, he was killed one by one by the powerful Yang family's guards. Soon, the corridor of the courtyard could already be seen fully armed, armed with swords and guns, Xuanhuo Army soldiers. They were in a team of five with a clear goal, and rushed towards the various rooms in the courtyard of the Xu family's house.

Xu Yuantong instinctively clenched his hands into fists, his eyes almost erupted with fire, and he roared angrily at Yang Sheng: "What do you want to do? This is the general's private residence." Have you forgotten that this general is a dignified and brave general? ”

"What if you're a general?"

Yang Sheng was holding a steel knife in his hand, and his smile was very hideous: "Committing chaos is not the same as a mortal crime?"

Xu Yuantong only felt a pang of emotion, and said angrily: "Where did the general rebel? ”

The man of the Ding family who was lying on the ground spurted blood from his mouth, but his right hand moved carefully without being noticed. He slowly took the letter out of his arms, crumpled it into a paper ball in the palm of his hand, and was about to stuff it into his mouth while others were not paying attention.

Yang Sheng had already seen the man's movements, and he couldn't help but say, rushing over and raising the knife in his hand. The man's eyes widened, and a terrible scream came out of his mouth, but his entire right hand was cut off, and the blood-stained paper ball "gurgling" rolled down. Yang Sheng bent down to pick it up, slowly shook it away, glanced at it casually, and sneered: "Qingyuan Houjia is really a big deal, and he actually wants to unite with the Lizhou Army to fight against the chaos together." It's okay, my grandfather is worried that he won't have a chance to attack Tongzhou. This is an opportunity to send it to the door by yourself, and you can't complain about others. Hahahaha!"

Xu Yuan was so angry that he trembled, and even his voice changed his tone a little: "This, this is simply a frame-up." Let's go, I'm going to the Jiedu Embassy to meet Yiyong Gong. I would like to hear that he sent someone to break into the door without permission, and casually saying that it was a great crime of treason. Could it be that Yang Tianhong alone has the final say in this Lizhou?"

Yang Sheng snorted coldly: "You're right." This Lizhou is my father-in-law's final say. Grandpa gave you a three-day period, but you sent it with an old book to pass it casually. Grandpa's military order is not a joke, you actually take it as the wind in your ears. On that day, the grandfather made it clear in the government that Lizhou must be fully prepared, and no one should violate the law. My grandfather can even kill Changhu Hou kind of product in the dynasty. What can you count as a mere general Zhaoyong?"

Hearing this, Xu Yuantong subconsciously took a half step back, and said in shock and anger: "You, you want to kill me, you dare to kill me?"

With a "whoosh", a cold light flashed in front of Xu Yuantong. He only felt a flash in his eyes, and a sharp pain suddenly came from his left shoulder. When you look with your eyes wide open. An entire arm had been severed, and blood was splattered everywhere. The severed arm was lying on the ground, fingers still shaking slightly.

"Why don't I dare kill you?"

Yang Sheng held the bloody steel knife, strode up to Xu Yuantong, who was pale, put the blade across his neck, and said with a cruel smile: "A mere third-grade Zhaoyong general actually dares to give a face in front of my grandfather." Although Lizhou is large, it is still the boundary of heaven. Do you think that everything here is surnamed Xu? Or do you think that the 300,000 Lizhou troops are the only ones of your Xu family? The Changhu Hou Cui family is a big business, right? Isn't it like a chicken and a dog in front of my father-in-law, and he will be extinguished when he says he will be destroyed. Speaking of which. It is also the grandfather who is kind and benevolent, and he did not hurt his cruelty when he came to Lizhou, but gave you the opportunity to kill talents. It's good that you not only remember the grace of your grandfather, but also privately collude with the Ding family in the same state to rebel against the thief, intending to be unfavorable to your grandfather. People like you who are disloyal, unfilial, disrespectful, and disrespectful, killed. It's like killing a dog. ”

Xu Yuantong heard an undisguised ferocious murderous intent from Yang Sheng's words. He suddenly felt that his hands and feet were cold, and his whole person became completely imprisoned even in his thinking. At the moment when Yang Sheng's hand was about to exert force. Xu Yuantong suddenly regained his senses, and screamed in a desperate voice: "Don't, don't kill me." I am willing to obey my grandfather's orders, and I will order someone to move the Lizhou military register, and I will definitely not miss my grandfather's major affairs. ”

The eyes of everyone in the room gathered, but Yang Sheng showed a look of disdain and sarcasm on his face. The steel knife paused on Xu Yuantong's neck. Didn't cut down. Yang Sheng leaned close to the ear of Xu Yuantong, who had no face, and whispered in a devilish voice, "You are so stupid. I didn't think of this until now. You know, no matter what you do, you have to talk about first-come, first-served. It's just a roster of the army, and you think it's not going to be handed over. Don't forget, my grandfather is a monk of the Immortal Family. There are so many ways to deal with worldly waste like you. ”

After a pause, Yang Sheng continued: "Grandpa gave you a chance, but you threw it away like garbage. Speaking of which, it's your life too. In short, things are unlikely to change. Since Grandpa sent me over, then your Xu family has no value in continuing to exist in Lizhou. The Cui family is gone, and it is not a big deal if there is one less Xu family. ”

As he spoke, Yang Sheng suddenly exerted force in his hand, and the sharp steel knife slashed down Xu Yuantong's neck. The sound of metal cutting muscles sounded a little tooth-sour, and a master like Yang Sheng killed people, and the blade would definitely not touch the bones. The knife was light and fast, and Xu Yuantong didn't even feel pain. He only saw that the scene in front of him suddenly became blurred, and a stream of warm blood spurted out of his throat. It felt really amazing, it was like a hole in the throat, and the incredibly powerful attraction lifted all the fluids in the body from here. Then, the consciousness gradually became confused, and the blackness in front of his eyes became more and more. Eventually, there was no light in the eyes.

On this day, not only Zhaoyong General Xu Yuantong, but also hundreds of officials and generals from top to bottom of Lizhou were all rushed into their homes by the wolf-like Xuanhuo officers and soldiers and were hunted and killed on the spot. It was really a river of blood, and thousands of heads were cut off. Jiedu filled the cells in the yamen of the palace with prisoners. The families of all the guilty officials were sold or put into slavery in the official quarters.

Raiding homes and exterminating peoples. These are the two words that the people of Lizhou have talked about most frequently in recent days.

The prestigious Xu family fell.

The Dongmen family, who controlled the financial power of Lizhou, fell.

The Kong family, who was in charge of the affairs of the Lizhou Military Division, was also finished.

The Yang family will be resolute, and on the day Xu Yuantong was killed, the entire Xujiazhuang was surrounded by the Xuanhuo Army. All the guards loyal to the Xu family were all caught, and then compared to the image roster, people recognized them, and beheaded them in order outside the school grounds. In Lizhou, under the Changhu Hou Cui family, the Xu family is the most powerful and rich. There are more than 800 people in the Xu family alone. Together with their clansmen, the number of people who were beheaded in public was as high as 2,000.

In the words of the people, the place where people are killed and buried will not have to worry about fertilizer for the next few years. It's just a pity that we can't grow crops. Otherwise, there will be a good harvest in the coming year.

Among the civil officials in Lizhou, Dongmen Wang's grade is only below Hu Yingtong, and he is also the second in command in the civil service in Lizhou. This person has been waiting to see the wind, and Yang Tianhong gave a three-day deadline. The account books handed over by Dongmen Wang show that there are only 6,000 copper coins in the Lizhou treasury, and a total of more than 2,700 taels of various silver ingots and scattered silver. Regarding this number, Yang Tianhong did not have a seizure at that time, nor did he express his attitude, but just waved his hand to let Dongmen look back. It's time for dinner. The general Yang Hu led the Xuanhuo Army to directly smash open the gate of Dongmen's house, and killed the entire Dongmen Wang clan cleanly.

Yang Tianhong is not bloodthirsty. Before, he had already made it very clear that in three days, he had to see all the detailed texts and files of the state's finances, military, and population. Cui Yangguang's head was placed in the center of the hall of the Jiedu Embassy, but the people below still didn't believe in evil and still wanted to deceive and coax. In that case, don't blame the knife in Bengong's hand for being too sharp. In short, in the face of interests, people always have a fluke mentality. So. Ben Gong doesn't care about cutting off a few more heads, and all the guys who are working against Ben Gong will be wiped out.

Xu Yuantong's family has hundreds of people, as long as they are young women with a little appearance, all of them are sent to the official education workshop and used as official prostitutes. Yang Tianhong is really ruthless in this regard, and all the men of the Xu family will be killed. The executioners were served by the Xuanhuo soldiers, and they were able to do everything they could. Overnight. The Xu family, the Dongmen family, the Kong family, the Wei family, the Zhou family...... Almost all the Lizhou clans were uprooted, and the heads of the rolling people fell to the ground. While Yang Tianhong fully regained the power of Lizhou, he also obtained a large number of fresh souls of the dead, and the materials that could refine the Spirit Devouring Pill became more and more abundant.

Bloody, cruel, and merciless. Seeing this scene, Hu Yingtong and others had flexible brains, and the first batch of Lizhou officials who swore allegiance to Yang Tianhong were glad about their previous choice. I couldn't help but exhale quietly. Especially Hu Yingtong, in addition to being afraid, there is also a faint excitement. With his decades of experience immersed in officialdom, it is not difficult to see that Yang Tianhong belongs to the kind of big man who is really capable and willing to make a career. Just follow this kind of person. To be absolutely loyal, then both the future and the future are full of light.

Next, it is a comprehensive rectification of Lizhou. In terms of government affairs, Yang Tianhong handed over almost everything big and small to Hu Yingtong. He left behind a booklet on priorities and requirements in the area of governance. After taking stock of the fields and population, investigating the markets in various places, and the situation in the capital city of Lizhou and the surrounding counties and townships, Yang Tianhong asked Hu Yingtong to come up with the most basic structural information within half a month.

Lizhou is different from Anzhou. There are a large number of local tycoons here. Although the area of Lizhou is large, the land resources have long been carved up by the local tycoons. Despite receiving the Cui family, the Xu family, the Dongmen family, the Kong family, and other most property land, nearly half of the Lizhou fields are still no longer under Yang Tianhong's control. It gave him a sense of powerlessness that he couldn't really control the big picture. What's more, the land under Haoqiang's name is controlled by people with meritorious reputation. According to the relevant laws of all countries in the world, as long as you have the status of a literati above the level of Xiucai, you can be exempted from taxes and forced labor.

In Anzhou, except for the big and small officials sent by the imperial court, there has not been even a single person in the local area. This kind of thing is not surprising, Anju has always been a wild place. If it gets to the point where you can't survive, no one will take the initiative to go there. Although Anju has fertile land and a pleasant climate, crops can be harvested three times a year. However, the reputation of the Wild Lands has spread all over the world. If we trace back to the roots, the ancestors of the people there are either outcasts or criminals.

In such an environment, there is simply no way to have a famous and recognized literati.

To a large extent, this is also related to the repressive policies of the Chu dynasty in the past dynasties. Even the officials sent to Anju are unsuccessful in the court, or are regarded as thorns in the side by local officials, and it is impossible to give Anzhou more scribes in the annual assessment. It is not surprising that it would be nice to have a place in the world dedicated to criminals and waste. Especially in another world, there is even the idea of setting up surveillance on a small island in the Pacific Ocean and turning it into a natural isolation prison.

There has never been a land annex in Anju. Speaking of which, to a large extent, this is also the credit of the Yue barbarians. There are too many Anzhou people who have died at their hands. People who have a little property, or a little wealth, either died in the war, or took Anzhou production and tried to leave the local area and go elsewhere. As a result, it has also created a special pattern of many people and few people in Anzhou. In particular, the "land more" item is really so much that all the state capitals in the world should envy it.

It's different here in Lizhou. The Yellow River in the north floods frequently every few years, and although irrigation is convenient, no one in the local area will pay for the repair of the ditches. Strictly speaking, although the fields in Lizhou are barren, as long as they are carefully maintained for a period of time, coupled with the indispensable water conservancy projects, it is not difficult to achieve self-sufficiency in the supply of grain and rice. Sadly, few people think so. (To be continued.) )
