Chapter 438: Disaster(1/2)
In Zheng'an County, Yang Cong looked at the four corpses lying in a pool of blood, and the muscles on his face twitched.
Big trouble!
Why did he kill someone?
They just sent people to scare the officials in the government who were dividing the fields. Why did they behead them?
And one of them is a serious seventh-rank Hucao.
His hands were trembling, and his eyes were looking at the crowd around him.
"Who did it? Who did it? Stand up for yourself and don't hurt everyone!"
He roared at the top of his lungs, but everyone around him looked at his nose and nose, avoiding his gaze.
"Erlang, no matter who did it, I'm afraid this disaster will eventually fall on you." A low voice came from beside him.
Yang Cong turned around angrily and saw a guest from his house.
"Fart! When did I let them kill people?"
Qingke squeezed to Yang Cong's side and whispered: "Erlang, you didn't let them kill people, but the murderers were your people. If these people were caught, what would they do in order to get away with it?
Do?"
Yang Cong shuddered.
What will be done?
Needless to say?
Of course, they put all the blame on themselves, saying that they were the mastermind and the mastermind, and they were just following their master's orders.
"What now?"
Qingke whispered: "Erlang, there is no other way now. Xiao Futai's severe punishments have always been extremely severe for aristocratic or wealthy families. Now that you have killed an official, not only will you die according to the law, but you will also die."
I'm afraid it will bring trouble to my family."
"Look for big brother, find big brother, let him think of a way!" Yang Cong's hands twisted the muscles on his thighs hard, and bursts of severe pain made him try to stay awake. "Also, send someone to Bozhou Nanbei Town immediately,
Go find the owner of the house."
"You can't go to the head of the family!" Qingke shook his head repeatedly: "That's asking for death."
Yang Cong’s eldest brother is Yang Bin.
The Tianping Army, one of the six armies on the Guizhou Road, was under the command of three thousand tiger soldiers and was stationed in Zunyi Prefecture.
Although the head of the Yang family in Bozhou is still Yang Qing, Yang Qing is getting older and feels increasingly powerless, so he recruits Yang Quan back and gradually hands over the affairs of the Yang family to Yang Quan.
Although Yang Qing is old, he sees things very accurately.
Even more than three years ago, when Xiao Cheng went to war with Luo's Ghost Kingdom and the Sizhou Tian family was wavering, he still supported Xiao Cheng. At the last moment, he even coerced the Zunyi Army into the territory of Luo's Ghost Kingdom.
, happened to pick up Xiao Cheng and others who were being chased by the ghost country’s elite after a successful raid.
After the establishment of Guizhou Road, Xiao Cheng rewarded people for their merits, Yang Qing became the prefect of Zunyi Prefecture, and Yang Bin, another member of the Yang family, became the commander of the Tianping Army.
In the past three years, the status of Zunyi Prefecture on the entire Guizhou Road has gradually declined.
There is no other reason than that the implementation of a series of policies such as the land contract responsibility system implemented on Guizhou Road was extremely unsatisfactory in Zunyi Prefecture.
The children of the Yang family relied on their merits and regarded Zunyi Mansion as Xiao Cheng's reward for their Yang family. Over the past few years, the Yang family's power expanded rapidly, which was contrary to the entire Guizhou Road policy of suppressing land annexation and allocating land to households.
, the Yang family is annexing land throughout Zunyi Prefecture and monopolizing business.
But for some unknown reason, the people on Guizhou Road actually adopted a tolerant attitude towards this move of the Yang family.
But people can vote with their feet.
People are not allowed to move freely on the Guizhou roads, and there are no restrictions on household registration, causing people in Zunyi Prefecture to flee one after another to look for opportunities elsewhere.
The Yang family didn't pay much attention to this matter in the first two years. In the third year, population loss left a large amount of farmland uncultivated, and they became alarmed.
At this time, the entire Zunyi economy had been far behind other places.
If it weren't for the support of Renhuai's wine industry, the economic data would be even worse.
And because old Yang Qing was getting older, he no longer had the energy to control the entire Yang family, so he called Yang Quan back to prepare to replace him, and at the same time reverse the unfavorable situation of Zunyi as a whole.
Yang Quan is Xiao Cheng's loyal supporter. He has followed Xiao Cheng since he came to Qianzhou. He knows the policies of Guizhou Road very clearly. Since his return, Zunyi Prefecture has forcibly spread the distribution of farmland to households.
The first step in allocating farmland to each household is to clear away the farm property.
And in the entire Zunyi Prefecture, besides the Yang family themselves, who else occupies the most land?
Yang Quan disowned his relatives and sent officials to search everywhere. As long as a problem was found, no matter who it was, they would retreat if they should and punish if they should.
Suddenly, the Yang family was filled with complaints.
People who wanted to complain to the head of the old family came to the Yang family's old house in Bozhou and Nanbei Town in an endless stream. However, these people couldn't even enter the town, so they were beaten back with sticks by Yang Quan's people.
The Yang family is entrenched in Zunyi, unaware of changes in the external situation, let alone Xiao Cheng's character.
But Yang Quan has followed Xiao Cheng for many years and knows everything about it.
If you can't keep up with Xiao Cheng's pace, you will inevitably be eliminated ruthlessly.
Xiao Cheng's current indifference to Zunyi is another form of playing hard to get?
Over the past few years, Zunyi has visibly fallen behind. If this continues, won't all the Yang family's hard work be in vain?
Yang Qing is getting older, his heart is softer and his hands are softer, and he can no longer deal with this big family ruthlessly.
Yang Quan is different.
In his opinion, all the branches that have become bent should be cut off, leaving only the parts that can become talents, so that the Yang family can thrive and thrive.
In the eyes of the Yang family, this guy who was in charge of the entire Guizhou Road punishment was a man with evil intentions and evil hands.
The four corpses were quickly packed away, and all the insiders were under control.
"What should I do?" In the secret room, Yang Cong looked at his confidants and asked in a trembling voice.
After all, fire cannot be contained in paper.
If this thing leaks out and people's heads fall to the ground, I'm afraid it will be light.
"Erlang, if you want to save your life now, there is only one way."
"What's the solution? Tell me quickly!"
"The only one who can save your life is General Dalang Yang!" Qingke lowered his voice and said: "Dalang holds the power of an army. At the moment, we can only go back to Guizhou."
Yang Cong was immediately dumbfounded.
"In the entire Zunyi Prefecture, there are only three thousand garrison troops under Dalang's command." Qingke said: "The other armies are either confronting the Dali Kingdom or gathering around Guiyang. As long as Dalang moves quickly, the troops will be sent to the north and south towns of Bozhou and they will be captured. Old Patriarch, when the time comes, the entire Yang family in Zunyi Mansion, whether they like it or not, will follow Da Lang, otherwise if the matter fails, everyone will die."
"How, how can this be possible?" Yang Cong shook his head like a rattle, "What if we arrest the old family leader? What if the entire Yang family in Zunyi Prefecture rebels? Xiao Futai turns around, we will do the same It's a dead end."
"Erlang, you've got it wrong!" Qingke chuckled: "The imperial court has been eyeing Xiao Cheng for a long time. If the Yang family rebelled, they would be eager to do so. After the incident, they immediately asked for help from all around and took care of Zizhou Road and Jinghu. The two groups will come to rescue immediately. What can Xiao Cheng do then? Dare to mobilize a large army to encircle Zunyi? If he really dares to do this, he is afraid that the Dali army will attack immediately, and Xiao Cheng will be completely defeated. !”
Yang Cong's heart pounded.
"But the head of the family won't agree, and Yang Quan won't agree even more!"
"Erlang, what do you want them to agree to? When Dalang catches them, he will naturally be able to control the situation, and Dalang will naturally become the new head of the Yang family." Qingke said.
Yang Cong suddenly understood.
"Master Lu, take my token and go to Zunyi in person to talk to my elder brother." Yang Cong took a deep breath: "I'm in Zheng'an County, so I need to get ready immediately."
After riding out of Zheng'an County, Master Lu looked back at the city wall of Zheng'an with a happy smile on his face. After more than a year of planning, he finally found an opportunity.
Lu Min, a native of Hebei, is a member of the Hu Yi Township Party.
The original intention of coming to Guizhou was to join Hu Yi, the transshipment envoy, to seek a future, but he never expected that Hu Yi would be miserable in Guizhou.
Unlike Hu Yi, who has a strong eye but a weak hand, this Lu Min is quite strategic.
Soon, he saw the incompatibility between Zunyi, Qiandongnan and other places and the entire Guizhou Road.
Now, the opportunity has finally come.
This time he only needed to convince Yang Bin to rebel against Xiao Cheng, and then he would be done.
At this moment, places around Guizhou Road, such as Zizhou Road, are indeed ready to support the unrest in Zunyi Prefecture at any time. On this point, Lu Min did not lie.
To form an established fact, dig a piece of meat from Guizhou Road.
As long as it succeeds here, then Southeast Guizhou may follow suit, and Guizhou Road will suffer a huge loss of vitality.
The horse is running fast, but my heart is extremely happy.
Yang Cong killed someone, and he killed an official, so he was not afraid that Yang Bin would not surrender.
There are only two brothers in the fifth generation of the Yang family, Yang Bin and Yang Cong. Yang Bin is a martial arts fanatic, but he accidentally got himself into trouble. He will never have any children in this life. Yang Cong is the only hope for the future of Wu Fang. Regardless of Yang Bin, No matter what, he would never give up on his younger brother.
Even to save his brother, he had to turn against Xiao Cheng.
Moreover, there are high-ranking officials in the imperial court waiting for him!
If Yang Bin was asked to rebel against the Song Dynasty, he would definitely not do it, but if he was asked to rebel against Xiao Cheng, he would not feel so much pressure.
To be continued...
