The official history of the Tang Dynasty has been excavated and verified by the cultural relics of later generations (epitaphs, Shinto tablets, Dunhuang documents, etc.), and there are many errors in it.

The Song people who revised the history of the Tang Dynasty often put a "veil" on some things at that time for the sake of their "political opinions" and in order to prove the correctness of their views. Some are embellished, others are scandalized.

In order to promote the political atmosphere of "unrighteousness and little help" before the Anshi Rebellion, the historians of the Song Dynasty deliberately "beautified" the defensive layout of Chang'an, describing Chang'an's city defense as "impregnable": there are high walls outside and square walls inside, and the layers of barriers are strict.

The wall of the square is two feet high, and there is a treasury to hide military rations, and it is also possible to defend the enemy from outside.

Therefore, during the Anshi Rebellion, the reason why Chang'an and the outside were washed away by the rebels like a flood was not because the city defense was not strong, but because of the arrogance and indulgence of Ji Ge.

This is all caused by the immorality of the superiors! The benevolent are invincible!

However, at this moment, Fang Chongyong looked at the structure of the west wall of Chongye Fang, but he couldn't help but sigh and sigh: It is naturally not controversial that Brother Ji was not a person during the Tianbao period, but the wall of Chang'an Fang is in vain, and even thieves can't be prevented, but it is also an ironclad fact.

When I first came, I didn't pay much attention to it, but now when it was my turn to do "business", I found that the wall was not 90 degrees vertical at all, but showed an inward inclination angle of more than 70 degrees, and the height was only more than two meters, which was just a cut higher than the top of Zhang Guangsheng's head.

Fang Chongyong originally wanted Zhang Guangsheng to be a meat pad, so he stepped on his shoulder and climbed over the wall. As a result, he saw that the Fang Zheng of Huaizhen Fang, commanding the strong man of the Fang, carried a few bamboo ladders, put them on the side of the Fang wall of Chongye Fang, and easily put another ladder into the Fang Wall, and finally climbed over the wall without much effort.

"Technique and tactics" are extremely proficient, this horse riding is definitely a habitual offender!

Fang Chongyong found that the wisdom of the working people is really endless, and he, a fool, still wants to climb over the wall, and the local residents have already prepared the tools!

Perhaps, the bullshit between the various squares in Chang'an, such as the adulterer sneaking into the widow's house in the adjacent square at night to steal the sun, is also a commonplace thing. I can't figure out if the adulterer returns to the workshop after finishing his work, and he has to entrust the fang to build a ladder for him (it is a felony to open the door of the workshop at night for no reason)!

Just when Fang Chongyong wanted to get into the wrong, the door to the west of Chongye Fang opened, and a middle-aged man with a frightened face came out of it. The man walked up to him and asked tremblingly, "Is the general going to enter the workshop to arrest the thief?" ”

Judging by his attitude, he must have been "persuaded" by Fang Zheng of Huaizhenfang, for fear of becoming a fellow party of the so-called "anti-thief".

Fang Chongyong nodded slightly without moving.

In fact, it is normal to think about it, because the children of the two neighboring squares, in this era, are very likely to organize themselves to fight in groups, or play "war games" to compete. Many works in Tang poems have relevant reflections.

So how can the two adjacent squares not know each other at all! Regardless of their relationship, they should all be "old acquaintances"!

"This official is the general of the imperial court's forbidden army, Qianniuwei, who came to handle the case by the secret order of the sage. Quickly open the west door, lock the other doors, don't let the thieves escape. ”

Fang Chongyong's face did not change and he pulled the tiger skin, and still deliberately omitted the word "inspection" in front of "General Qianniuwei".

These two words, with or without them, have very different connotations.

Probably because there are big officials living in the workshop, and the knowledge is much higher than that of Huaizhen Fang. The Fang Zheng of Chongye Fang began to look at Fang Chongyong's childish face with doubts on his face. Although this one is tall and big, he also exudes a murderous Qiu Ba temperament.

But no matter how you look at it, you can't be more than twenty years old, right?

General Qianniuwei is the chief officer of Qianniuwei, but he is a military attache from the third grade! Can a young man under the age of twenty be such an official?

The current imperial court is not so childish!

"This general, can you show me the seal letter of the Qianniuwei Yamen?

Of course, it is not that you are suspicious of your identity, but that the more than 20,000 people in Chongye Fang are not trivial.

This is where the duty lies, and if the above is held accountable tomorrow, the person will not be able to bear the ......."

The Fang Zheng who was talking had already recovered from the fright. He found that most of the frightening crowd with torches in front of him were familiar faces, that is, the strong men of Huaizhenfang next door.

The only one who really has an official identity is the so-called "General Qianniuwei" who is so young that people can't believe it, and the one who can often be seen when he goes to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, the Jingzhao Yin Zheng Shuqing.

Could it be, these are the only two who want to do bad things, right?

Judging from Zheng Shuqing's reputation as a dog official who stinks on weekdays, he is called "godfather" when he sees a big official, and he will say whatever the powerful say, this possibility is extremely likely!

It's hard to know that he's all an errand runner, and only the guy in front of him who calls himself Qianniuwei wants to do bad things!

In the past, Chongye Fangzheng, who took the benefits of the Xing family and helped the Xing family to settle a lot of shabby things in the workshop, suddenly had doubts in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his speculation was reasonable.

After he said this, he immediately exchanged glances with the cronies around him, obviously reluctant to cooperate.

Burst!

In an instant, blood spilled Fang Chongyong's body.

He withdrew the Wind Phantom Knife he had drawn back into its scabbard, and kicked Chongye Fangfang, who had just drawn the knife and slashed it, to the ground, and he didn't care about wiping the blood on his body, his face was gloomy like a dark cloud.

Riding a horse, this knot is a whole moth for Lao Tzu, how can he have time to beep with this birdman outside this Chongye Fang!

"What's your name?"

Seeing this, Zheng Shuqing grabbed the cronies beside Chongye Fangfang and asked. The man was already scared to pee, and his pants were wet.

"So-and-so, so-and-so is called Wang San."

"Okay, from today onwards, you will be the right person in Chongye Fangfang, and if we catch the thief, you will still have a reward. Now take us to Xing's house! ”

Zheng Shuqing, who was wearing Jing Zhaoyin's official uniform, said indifferently, full of official authority, he finally recovered from the state of the third-grade master at this moment.

"Huh? Good! So and so lead the way! Does the official have any other errands? ”

Wang San asked cautiously.

"Fang Zheng's family is only afraid that they are also anti-thieves, you take trustworthy people to control them, don't let anyone go."

Fang Chongyong hinted disappretently.

"Okay, let's do it! Absolutely! ”

A trace of ruthlessness flashed on Wang San's face.

It is not beneficial to lead the way for others to catch any anti-thieves, and of course Wang San has no enthusiasm.

But after cleaning up the family of his predecessor Fang Zheng and going to his house to search for it, Wang San was very interested!

That Fang Zheng has a lot of money in his family, and as far as he knows, many of them are from improper sources. Now there is a fair and honest reason to clean up their family, and they can be prosperous. Not only can you make a fortune, but you can also establish your authority in the workshop and become a veritable new square, which is really beautiful!

Seeing Wang San's excited and uncontrollable appearance, Fang Chongyong sighed secretly in his heart.

If he could, he didn't want to be so ruthless, but since he decided to do something, he must not leave hidden dangers.

"Zhao's orphan" reminded everyone in later generations that it is very important to do a full set of things, and there must be no kindness of a woman.

Since Fang Chongyong had already killed Fang Zheng, who might be innocent. Then, I had to take the opportunity of copying the Xing family to take care of Fang Zheng and their family with the Xing family.

Now that a mortal feud has been formed, where is the possibility of resolving it?

If you don't take care of these things, will you keep a sea of blood and hatred, and let the descendants of the family find their descendants to take revenge?

Fang Chongyong deeply realized at this moment that if he was careless in this era, he would bring disaster to the cruelty of his family. In the future, if someone else kills him, they will also cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, kill all his descendants, and take his wife and concubine for themselves without leaving any trouble.

In this feudal era where human life is like a mustard, sometimes, even if you have done nothing wrong, it is common to be implicated by your family.

How else to say that once there is a rebellion, the whole family will be united?

It's really because the rules of this era are too cruel, so that everyone has no way out!

With complicated thoughts, Fang Chongyong took the strong men of Huaizhenfang and surrounded the mansion of the Xing family! Xing's house is really not small, it actually occupies one-eighth of the area of Chongye Fang!

And the height of the wall is even higher than the wall of the square! Just these four walls, I don't know how much it will take to repair them.

You must know that to be an official in Chang'an and live in a big house, it is not enough to have an official position and power, and the economic strength of the family is also a hard requirement.

If you don't have money, even if you are the prime minister, you can't afford to buy such a big house. Even if you barely live in it, you don't have enough slaves, enough money, and you can't take care of the house. In this regard, there is not much difference between ancient times and Fang Chongyong's previous life, and large houses require a lot of manpower and financial resources to maintain.

And the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, it is clear that it is not a "transfer envoy" and "color service envoy", which is rich in oil and water, and belongs to the Qingshui Yamen of the Tang Dynasty, and there is not much "extra money" on weekdays.

Seeing the mansion of the Xing family, Fang Chongyong was already very sure that there must be something he was looking for in the huge super-sized mansion of the Xing family.

……

It was late at night, and in the front yard of the Xing family's house, there were several corpses of house slaves lying on the ground, all of whom were killed with one knife.

The rest, including the caretaker of the home, more than 200 people sat densely on the ground, gathered here and were guarded by the Fang Zheng of Huaizhenfang. The courtyard was lit with torches, illuminating it as if it were daylight.

Everyone knows that the Xing family, who is arrogant and domineering in the surrounding area, is very likely to become history tomorrow!

"If you are plotting to rebel, this official must refer to it in front of the saints! Zheng Shuqing, you can't die well! ”

A thin old man sat on the ground and pointed at Zheng Shuqing, who was dressed in official robes, and scolded. He is Xing Xuan, the current Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, well, but not soon.

"Is this Xing Xuan?"

Fang Chongyong leaned into Zheng Shuqing's ear and whispered.

"Yes, it's fake."

Fang Chongyong squinted his eyes and looked at Xing Xuan again and again, if he ignored this hideous and fearful expression, then he was an out-and-out reader, powerless. However, such a person actually killed more than 100 merchants and their retinue on the sea returning to the Tang Dynasty from Silla just for the sake of wealth.

It's really unseemly!

With this person's ruthlessness, it is important to start first, otherwise Xing Yanei will find his father to stand up for him, once Xing Xuan makes a move, it is difficult to say whether he can bear the history of the four-grade border town assassination.

After all, Chang'an is the home of these civil officials!

At this moment, Zhang Guangsheng came from the direction of the backyard with a few people, walked to Fang Chongyong's side and shook his head gently, leaned over and whispered: "I didn't find anything, the warehouse is full of rice and grain, not even much cloth." ”

"Do you believe it?"

Fang Chongyong asked, pointing to the luxurious furnishings in the courtyard. Even the trees planted here have their branches and leaves trimmed, and they look beautiful in the light of the fire.

Can this be something that a poor official can do?

To feed such a large family of hundreds of people, will there be no wealth in the treasury?

Fang Chongyong didn't believe that there was such a ghostly thing!

"According to the experience of Shazhou, it is indeed strange here."

Zhang Guangsheng nodded slightly and said.

When he was in Shazhou, of course the "highly respected" Fang Envoy Jun would not do such a job as raiding his home, he would only entrust Zhang Guangsheng to take someone to pretend to be a bandit! Otherwise, in the Hexi Corridor, where fish and dragons are mixed, how can you stand your way?

Judging from what Zhang Guangsheng saw and heard in the past, there must be a place to hide his wealth in this house.

Fang Chongyong pondered for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

He explained a few words to Zhang Guangsheng, who immediately grabbed Xing Xuan's second son, put the knife on his neck and asked, "Where is your cellar?" ”

Xing Xuan's complexion changed slightly, and he quickly disappeared, just being noticed by Fang Chongyong.

No one answered.

Zhang Guangsheng killed Xing Xuan's second son with a knife and threw the body aside. Immediately, he placed the knife on the neck of Xing Xuan's younger son, who looked to be only seven or eight years old.

Fang Chongyong frowned slightly, turned his heart sideways, and didn't say anything.

To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself! At the critical moment, any morality has to be ranked behind!

"I, I don't know, don't kill me, don't kill me......"

Another one was scared to pee, and the crotch of the child's pants was instantly soaked.

"I know! I know! Please don't kill him! ”

A beautiful woman sitting in a dark corner staggered over and pleaded with Zhang Guangsheng, "I know where the treasure is!" I'll take you there, don't kill him, don't kill him! ”

This is Xing Xuan's favorite concubine, who has been in the house for less than ten years, and because she is favored, she knows a lot of Xing Xuan's privacy.

"Slut! You ......"

Xing Xuan was about to shout, but Fang Chongyong slapped him and knocked him to the ground.

"Lead the way, you...... And him, he can live. ”

Fang Chongyong pointed to the child sitting on the ground and said.

"Okay, come with me."

The beautiful woman stood up, and saw Xing Xuan staring at her with a resentful expression with a somewhat frightened face, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to step forward.

Fang Chongyong stepped on Xing Xuan's face and smiled at the beautiful woman: "The dead will not threaten you, but the living will." ”

……

Accompanied by Li Linfu and led by Chen Xuanli, a group of Longwu soldiers climbed over the wall and opened the door of Chongye Fang near Suzaku Street.

When the door was called, everyone had some bad premonitions in their hearts.

A group of dragon warriors wearing heavy armor rushed into the workshop and found the huge mansion of the Xing clan with ease. This house occupies one-eighth of the area of the workshop, and you can't pay attention to it. However, when they came to the front of the house, they found that it was already crowded with people, and there were people lighting torches everywhere.

Most of these people are from Huaizhenfang next door, and some are residents of this fang.

The gate of the Xing family's house was open, and the front yard was lit with torches, illuminating the place as if it were daytime.

In the middle of the courtyard, there are all kinds of rare treasures:

Bundles of rhinoceros horns, boxes of pearl agate, dazzling green jade, large red coral taller than a person, white as jade, elephant tusks longer than an adult's arm, and so on.

Not to mention, there are still people who are constantly moving boxes of treasure from the backyard to the yard!

The surrounding melon-eating crowd drooled, but no one dared to stretch out their hands to these treasures, and even the people who carried the wealth and silk would take the initiative to come forward and let people search their bodies to show their innocence after carrying them once.

Gao Lishi and Li Linfu were both dumbfounded, except for Ji Ge's treasury, they had never seen so many treasures stacked together, and even many of them were priceless and unsought.

Not even Brother Kei!

This Xing Xuan is really damned!

Gao Lishi and Li Linfu both had such an idea in their hearts at the same time.

"General Gao, right minister, Xing Xuan's family really has ill-gotten gains. On the orders of the right minister, the treasure has been searched, and all the suspects have been detained here.

The subordinates dare not overstep their bounds, and how the suspects will be disposed of, and how the wealth and wealth will be disposed of, please decide between the two. ”

When Zheng Shuqing saw Li Linfu coming, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and stepped forward to salute with his hands crossed. As for Fang Chongyong, he had already disappeared into the melon-eating crowd with Zhang Guangsheng and went to his own house.

For the rest of the situation, Fang Chongyong believed that Zheng Shuqing could handle it alone, and there was no need for him to stay here to make trouble.

Choose to go to the clothes, and hiding the merits and fame is what should be done.

As for those flawed "procedural injustices", I believe that under Xing Xuan's double crime of bullying the monarch and murder and stealing goods, it has become insignificant, and no one will notice him, an "invisible person" who participated in the whole process and did not take credit.

"Someone came, and brought the people of the Xing family and the slaves of the family to Dali Temple for interrogation. The treasure was brought back to the inner treasury and handed over to the Taifu Qing for counting.

The other people, after being searched, went home separately and were not allowed to stay here, otherwise they would be punished according to Xing's comrades. ”

Gao Lishi looked at Li Linfu's face and said, the latter didn't say anything, just saluted Gao Lishi with his crossed hands and bowed deeply.

Seeing Xing Xuan, who was like a mourner, being escorted away by the wolf-like Longwu sergeant, Gao Lishi couldn't help but sigh.

It's just a matter of killing people and getting more goods, so why deceive the saints?

Now it's okay, the whole family is on the road together, and it's also lively.

Ask for a ticket
