Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Of the envoys from various countries who came to the DPRK, the high-ranking official of the Song Dynasty who they most wanted to meet was Yang Yi. Unfortunately, Yang Yi did not easily meet guests, and most of the envoys who came to visit him returned disappointed.

    But Yang Yi, the Japanese envoy from the Liao Kingdom, must be seen.  In addition, he quietly met with envoys from the three countries of Taruna, Matalan and Jianyili in the main store of Zhangbajiayuan in Dailoumen.

    These three countries are located on the same island of Java, with Taruna in the west, Mataram in the middle, and Kediri in the east.

    Srivijaya is relatively powerful. It once defeated the Taruna Kingdom and has occupied part of the western end of Java Island. The three countries on Java Island are relatively weak, so the three countries have always watched and helped each other and united to fight against Srivijaya to avoid being defeated by each other.  annexation.

    Yang Yi met with the envoys of the three countries in private, and his intention was self-evident. He just wanted to use these three countries to further weaken Srivijaya. For now, the Song Dynasty had no time to take care of Nanyang, and Yang Yi did not want the court to intervene in Nanyang affairs prematurely.

    It can be said that Nanyang was the colostrum that Yang Yi used to feed the capital growth of the Song Dynasty. If the imperial court intervened in Nanyang too early, the capitalists of the Song Dynasty lost the space for initial development and growth.

    So when Yang Yi met with the envoys from the three countries, they mainly discussed the cooperation between the Western Indian Ocean Trading Company and the three countries. The trading company would provide some financial assistance in exchange for the free trade rights of each country.

    At the same time, it also provided iron tools, beef tendons and other things used to make weapons to the Three Kingdoms. These things were also contraband in the Song Dynasty, but now that many officials have joined the trading company, it is not difficult to traffic them out with the energy of the trading company.

    Of course, these things will definitely not be free assistance. This is the arms business of this era.  Not only is there no temporary assistance, the price is also extremely high.

    The smelting level of these small countries is low.  There is an acute shortage of ironware, which is mostly owned by officials in various countries.  Exiting the country is prohibited, and it is very difficult for these small countries to obtain iron from other countries.

    Now Yang Yi agreed to provide them with some ironware. Although the price was higher, the envoys of the Three Kingdoms were still overjoyed.

    In the Kaifeng Mansion land expropriation case, under Hu Zongyu¡¯s severe punishment, many domestic slaves began to confess. The two dead domestic slaves were not killed by the Imperial Army, but someone used a trick to blame Jiangdong in order to make the matter bigger.

    Who is in charge of this matter?  Are they the stewards like Kang Qi, or are they the masters behind them? Are they gathering people to cause trouble purely to obstruct the imperial land acquisition, or do they have some ulterior motives?

    This requires further investigation.

    As Hu Zongyu has more and more things in his hands, the evidence gradually points to the eight words "private connection with the intention of conspiracy".

    Many powerful families began to feel restless. They sent money and gifts to Hu Zongyu in private, and some even threatened him with harsh words. The reactions of each family were different.

    Unfortunately.  They didn't know that Yang Yi was behind everything. No matter whether they said harsh words or offered bribes, they were not enough to sway Hu Zongyu to continue the investigation.

    On this day, Hu Zongyu accepted a banquet from his colleagues.  When I came out of Fengle Tower after being half drunk, dusk was approaching, and the lights in front of Fengle Tower were filled with color.  The streets are extremely bustling, and the bustling people are even more lively than during the day.

    Hu Zongyu was riding in a carriage.  From Fengle Tower, go south along Zhaowan Street, and turn west when you reach Old Caomen Street.  Pass by Huihefang Ghost Market.

    The name Guishizi is a bit scary, but actually it means night market. Every five o'clock, merchants and vendors light up lamps and trade, buying and selling clothes, pictures, garlands, collars, etc., and they disperse at dawn, which is called Guishizi.

    Of course, there are often rumors of ghosts in this ghost market. For example, there is a legend that during the Jihei period, there was a woman in Gansenbo, Tokyo, who went to the market early every morning carrying old clothes to sell.  There was an uncle Lin Wen who was poor and had no clothes, so this woman gave him clothes as a gift.  The two fell in love for a long time, became husband and wife, and gave birth to a son. The woman turned into a ghost and said goodbye to Uncle Lin Wen

    Even great writers like Ouyang Xiu have narrated about the ghost market. One night on the wild bank of the Han River, Ouyang Xiu heard singing and laughing. There were many men, women, old and children. Among them were the voices of people discussing transactions and selling fruit and bait, just like a market.  Yes, we won¡¯t stop until daybreak.

    The next day, Ouyang Xiu walked ashore and saw no one around, the grass was blurred, and there was a city foundation in the distance. After asking, he found out that it was an ancient Sui Dynasty city.

    These legends undoubtedly add a mysterious coat to the ghost market. The ghost market has a special feature. It does not open after dark, but only opens at the fifth watch of the day.

    It was nightfall when Hu Zongyu's carriage passed the ghost market. There were few people in the ghost market and the light was dim. He was leaning against the wall of the carriage to relax when he was slightly drunk. Six men in black suddenly rushed out from the tiles of the ghost market.  The knife in his hand reflected the cold light, and he rushed toward Hu Zongyu's carriage.

    Hu Zongyu¡¯s entourage was so frightened that he shouted loudly: ¡°There is an assassin, come here, come here, protect me quickly.¡± HeWhile shouting, he bravely rushed forward.

    Hu Zong became more frightened and did not panic. He shouted to the driver: "Hurry, drive away quickly, hurry!"

    Those men in black had their heads covered and were coming very fast. The dagger in one of their hands flew out. The coachman who was beating the horse in an attempt to escape screamed and fell to the ground immediately.

    The carriage lost control and rushed towards the roadside. Then there was a click. It was probably because the axle was broken and the carriage could no longer move.

    There were a few pedestrians on the street beside the ghost market, and they all screamed and fled. The six men in black were blocked by Hu Zongyu's entourage. Although they had the upper hand, they couldn't get through for a while.

    At this moment, several more men in black rushed out from the tiles of the ghost market. Hu Zongyu's entourage couldn't help but feel heartbroken. They were already in a hurry to deal with the six men in black in front of them, and the danger was everywhere. Now several more men in black rushed out.  It's impossible to deal with a man in black.

    "Master, run away! You guys can't stand it anymore. Master, run away!" Hu Zongyu's followers shouted, but an accident happened at this moment. The men in black who rushed behind did not join in attacking them.  Instead of killing them, they started fighting fiercely with the six men in black in front of them.

    The group of black-clothed men who came from behind were all excellent in martial arts and extremely strong. They knocked down the six black-clothed men in front of them in just a few encounters. They didn't care about Hu Zongyu's entourage and carried the six black-clothed men in front of them on their backs.  , the rabbit disappeared into the dark tiles as quickly as the falcon fell.

    It all happened quickly.  It ended so quickly that Hu Zongyu's entourage was stunned and did not react.

    Although Hu Zongyu looked pale.  But the man was still calm and climbed out of the car.  He asked his two followers to watch the scene, and then he took the other four people and rushed to Nanya.

    At the feet of the Emperor, Kaifeng Prefecture Yin was assassinated on his own land. This incident spread throughout the city in an instant, and Yang Yi heard about it immediately.

    This incident made him very surprised. Hu Zongyu's trial of the land expropriation case recently offended many powerful families, but Yang Yi found it hard to believe that these powerful families would do such a despicable thing.

    After all, Hu Zongyu is a dignified third-grade Kaifeng governor, if he is assassinated in the capital.  The imperial court is going to get to the bottom of it no matter what, and the direction of the investigation will first be directed at these powerful families;

    Therefore, even if they are extremely dissatisfied with Hu Zongyu, they are unlikely to choose this method to deal with Hu Zongyu. This method is only used as a last resort. People in official circles generally do not use it when they are at the end of their rope and are desperate.  will choose this method.

    That night, the Kaifeng Prefecture and the Wucheng Military and Horse Division dispatched a large number of soldiers to catch the bandits and track down the whereabouts of the bandits.  But the two groups of men in black disappeared like air.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    the reason is simple.  Hu Zongyu's assassination pushed them to the forefront, which was extremely detrimental to them.  People will be the first to suspect them. If they can grasp the whereabouts of the assassin at this time.  It is in the best interest of these powerful families.

    At the second watch, Xiao Yi hurriedly knocked open Yang Yi's study.

    "Mr. Xiao. How is the situation?"

    "Sir, one of the six people is Kang Qi's younger brother Kang Wulang. Kang Wulang usually works as a guanfu. He often joins gangs to fight, steal and get into many troubles. Kang Qi wipes his butt for him. Now Kang Qi  Being imprisoned in the Kaifeng Mansion Prison, Kang Wulang visited him every day but was not allowed to see him. He bribed the jailer with money to get Kang Qi. After being severely tortured many times and most likely to be convicted of treason, Kang Wulang did this.  Risk it.¡±

    "So that's it. Let me just say, how could the masters behind Kang Qi and the others make such a stupid move? However, with Kang Goro's interference, things are more beneficial to us. The key is that the identities of the six assassins of Kang Goro cannot be revealed.  After being discovered, this kind of thing, and the assassin can't be found, people will believe that the assassin has an extraordinary background."

    "What your lord is saying is, don't worry, sir, all six of them are now under our control and have been settled."

    Yang Yi thought about it carefully and said calmly: "Does Mr. Xiao have any follow-up arrangements for this matter?"

    "A waistband belonging to the Anlu County Prince's Palace has been dropped not far from the crime scene. Although it cannot be concluded that the case was committed by the Anlu County Prince's Palace, there is always vague physical evidence."

    "This alone is not enough. All the eleven companies we selected must be involved. This is a rare move."

    "Yes, sir, my subordinates will make appropriate arrangements."

    "When the wind calms down a little, the six of Yasugoro and others will arrange to go to Lingnan first. Remember not to let the actions of these six people go wrong."If it leaks again, if it works well in the future, these six people will be extremely important chess pieces in our hands.  "

    "Don't worry, sir." Xiao Yichang bowed and retreated.

    Yang Yi thought about this and couldn't help but smile again. He sent people to follow Hu Zongyu. Protection was secondary. In fact, surveillance was the main thing. After all, Hu Zongyu was too critical now. Yang Yi felt it was necessary to control every move he made.

    I just didn't expect that the people sent to monitor him would actually take advantage of this. Kang Wulang and others suddenly assassinated him. As long as he disappeared from then on, everyone would think of the powerful people like Anlu County King. This would be very important for Yang Yi to further control these people in the future.  It's good, it's good, it's good!

My nose was as clear as water, and it came down again and again. After taking the medicine, I felt groggy. I really wanted to take a rest.

    It¡¯s just that my book subscriptions are small and my income is meager. If I don¡¯t get the perfect attendance award, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t have enough living expenses next month, and I¡¯ll have to live a miserable life!  .
