Qingfeng City is not a big city, even compared to Huangyang Dao'an County. There are too many such cities in Beihui Road. If nothing major happens, Qingfeng City's name is destined to be difficult to appear in any history books. In fact, since its completion, no major incidents have occurred in Qingfeng City.
Even when the Sui army went south to destroy the merchants, there was no battle left here. If someone who has the ability to consult the official records of the Sui Dynasty can find out any battle, no matter how big or small, the Sui army went south at that time. It is also possible to find out how many cities in the Shang Kingdom surrendered without a fight, and the names of the officials who surrendered are clearly recorded.
But no matter whether you search in the battle or in Jiangcheng, you can't find the name of Qingfeng City. After the Sui army went south, the people of Qingfeng City were really nervous for a while, but as a small city that didn't even have a garrison, the Sui army didn't bother to pay attention.
After the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, Qingfeng City naturally became the territory of the Sui Dynasty.
Yes, naturally.
Qingfeng City just replaced the national flag of Dashang with the national flag of Dasui, even if it has completed the transition. The officials sent from above just made a routine inspection and left, without even staying for a while. In fact, for the common people, it is lucky and happy. It is very good that they have not experienced wars.
The scary thing about Huotong Tianxia is that even such a small city has specialized shops. If someone thinks about this and speculates how big Hutong Tianxing has spread throughout the Central Plains, they will be surprised. It's just that everyone is too lazy to think about it. Everyone knows that the world of goods is very popular, but ordinary people don't know how big it is, and they don't bother to think about it.
The place where the shell was found was in the darkest part of Qingfeng City. Any city will have rich areas and civilian areas, but some are obvious and some are not.
This is an area in the northeast corner of Qingfeng City. Counting hundreds of years ago, there has not been a single official, not even a servant. These hundreds of families live a very ordinary life every day, they are used to this, without any waves.
Therefore, when they saw the group of people in brocade clothes coming over, the common people all seemed a little flustered.
"Lord Hou."
Liao Sheng, a thousand households of the Xiaoqi School, saw Wu Yiyi coming over to salute, pointed to a residential house behind and said, "It was discovered here, and my subordinates have sent people to check it. People from the Buddhist sect really appeared here. There are one hundred and twenty people here." Less than half of the people in the thirteen households have heard the preaching of the Buddhist sect, but the Buddhist sect is in the name of the Lotus Sect, so no one noticed. There is only one head arrester and four arresters in the government office of Qingfeng City , counting the help disciples under his command, there are only thirty to fifty disciples. The subordinates have asked, those servants do know that there are people preaching in the city, but they think it is the sects in the world who are preaching, so they don't pay much attention to it, after all Fozong people have never appeared on a large scale in the Central Plains."
Wu Yiyi nodded, pushed the door open and walked in.
This is an extremely ordinary small courtyard. There are three people in this family, two old people and a little granddaughter. The girl's parents died of illness a few years ago. To be honest, they still don't know how much trouble they have caused. The old couple stood aside in fear with their arms around the girl's shoulders, their expressions were ugly.
"When did that man come?"
Wu Yiyi glanced at the candles still burning in the west wing of the small courtyard, which showed that Da Zizai must be in a hurry when he left.
"I came here before noon yesterday, and I said I would stay for one night and leave this morning."
The almost seventy-year-old man answered with a trembling voice. After a pause, he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed vigorously: "My lord, no matter how big a crime I have committed, I will admit it, but I beg you, my lord, don't treat us as an old couple." They are all arrested, the child is still young and has no parents, so he can no longer be left alone to take care of him."
When he said this, muddy old tears flowed down his eyes.
Wu Yidao was stunned for a moment, and then went to help the old man up: "Where is this talking? Who said that you will be arrested?"
Wu Yiyi glanced back at Liao Sheng, and Liao Sheng shook his head quickly: "Master Hou, I didn't say anything about it, but I asked him about the situation before, and didn't say that I would take him down. But...according to the law, he harbors fugitives." Still to be caught."
"The law is nothing more than human feelings."
Wu Yidao shook his head: "I'm in charge of this matter. I think even the Duke of the State will do the same here. The Black Banner Army enacted laws to protect the safety of the people. Let the people live better. If the couple were taken, the child would have no relatives. Besides, the old couple didn’t know they were fugitives.”
"I really don't know."
The old man said hastily: "He used to come here, and he covered his head and face with a black robe. Sometimes when there were many people, he told some allusions about doing good deeds, so everyone thought he was not a bad person."
Wu Yiyi shook his head: "Remember, the bad guy is not easy to see through at a glance. The reason why he got close to you is to have a place to hide today. Do you know what crime he committed?"
The old man shook his head blankly: "What crime?"
"Assassinate the Duke."
Wu Yidao glanced at the old man: "The Duke was hurt by him."
"ah!"
The old man was so frightened that he couldn't help trembling, his face was full of astonishment: "How... how could this happen! This bastard! He dares to assassinate a good man like the Duke of the country. Who doesn't know that the people of Huangyang Dao can have today? Is it a gift from the Duke? This scum with a human face and a beast heart, if I see him again, I will vent my anger for the Duke even if I risk my life!"
"Human face and animal heart?"
Wu Yiyi repeated it, and then looked at the humanoid body in the room: "That's pretty good..."
He glanced back at Liao Sheng: "Keep chasing, you are a master of tracking and searching, I will leave this matter to you. If you hurt the lord, even if you escape to the ends of the world, you will not let it go. The people of the Black Banner Army will not tolerate this. People live. Remember, no matter how hard it is, never give up."
"Here!"
Liao Sheng nodded vigorously, his eyes firm.
I don't know when it started, whether in the Black Banner Army or among the people in the southwest, Fang Jie's name is no longer a substitute for a butcher, but a person who really does good deeds. Sometimes, doing good and killing people really have nothing to do with each other. Fang Jie already has millions of lives in his hands, but isn't he a kind person? He gave hundreds of millions of people a better life, which is a great good!
…
…
"It would be nice if Master was still alive."
Xiang Qingniu sighed, glanced at Fang Jie and said, "I always feel that Da Zizai's sudden appearance this time is by no means as simple as what he said. He said that he has karma in his heart, and this karma is my second senior brother. He also said that by killing you and me, you can get rid of karma... Is this true?"
"Credible."
Fang Jie nodded: "But it's not the truth."
Fang Jie felt his body for a while, and found that he recovered quickly and felt more at ease: "People of the Buddhist sect, everyone has a karma in their hearts, and this karma is called Yang Qi. They can't wait to swallow Yang Qi alive so that they can get rid of it. The fear in my heart, but they still can't do it."
Xiang Qingniu knew that this was not an exaggeration at all, and this was exactly what he thought.
Fang Jie continued: "However, this statement is believable but it is by no means the truth. Da Zizai will definitely not come to you and me because of this, and... I even suspect now that he came to you and me not to kill me at all. You and I."
"What's the meaning?"
Xiang Qingniu didn't understand Fang Xie's words, and couldn't figure out why Fang Xie would say that.
"Just a feeling."
Fang Jie shook his head: "It's a very bad feeling."
Xiang Qingniu sighed: "That's why I said, it would be great if the master is still alive. Even if he doesn't take action to get rid of this scourge of Da Zizai, we can ask him, what is wrong with Dazizai?"
Fang Jie smiled and said, "If old man Wan is still alive, how could Da Zizai dare to come to the Central Plains? The reason why the old man tolerates Luo Yao's existence is because he knows that as long as Luo Yao is alive, King Dalun Ming will be divided into half of his cultivators." Why, even Luo Yao is a threat to King Dalunming. That's why the old man let Luo Yao be so presumptuous, otherwise he should have been eliminated long ago, right? In this world, there are not many things that can be hidden from him."
Xiang Qingniu nodded: "There are not many things that can be hidden from him... Perhaps the only thing he didn't see through was Yang Jian's ambition and ruthlessness."
Fang Jie said: "I have already sent people to Wudang Mountain."
He glanced out the window: "In the Jianghu of the Central Plains, perhaps the only people who can guess what Da Zizai is doing are Zhenren Zhang and your elder brother. As for the man who likes to wear white clothes, it is impossible to find him." , can only wait for him to appear. In any case, it is not a good thing for Da Zizai to enter the Central Plains. At this time, the power of the whole world is needed to dig him out!"
Xiang Qingniu nodded: "I also sent people to inform the major sects of Jianghu. Once a disciple of the Buddhist sect is found to be preaching, he will be eradicated immediately. In the past, when the Sui Dynasty was strong, with my master, the sects of the Jianghu sects were also united, so the people of the Buddhist sect If you want to enter the Central Plains, you can’t get in, let alone preaching. But now the Central Plains is in chaos, and the sects in the Jianghu are also busy standing in line. Everyone wants to see at a glance who can sit in that chair in the end, and then stand in line in advance To ensure the glory of the sect in the future."
"The world is in chaos, the rivers and lakes are in chaos."
He said in a daze, "That's why there are so many monsters."
Fang Jie hummed, thinking of what Da Zizai said about the cicada: "Perhaps they are really monsters... People in the Buddhist sect have been under the shadow of King Dalunming for so many years, I'm afraid everyone has something hidden in their hearts. With the death of King Dalun Ming, these people will no longer be suppressed, and when the things in their hearts explode... perhaps, it will be a disaster."
Xiang Qingniu was stunned, and thought carefully about Fang Jie's words, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt.
Don't know what to say.
…
…
Jiangnan
Yang Jian spread out the map on the table, and marked out the location of Liuzhou with a charcoal pencil.
"The current world is still the world of the Sui Dynasty, and it is still the world of the Yang family. So those monsters dare to do things that disrespect the court's etiquette, but no one dares to call themselves emperor!"
He stood up and glanced at his generals: "You should thank fate for allowing you to live in such an era. If the Sui Dynasty was still peaceful, most of you would be doing nothing. But now, you people Everyone's name will appear in the history books, and for future generations, what you do today is writing glory!"
He pointed to the location of Liuzhou on the map: "This place, this person, will be the turning point for you from mediocrity to glory!"
"For Tai Sui!"
The generals shouted.
"For Tai Sui!"
Yang Jian waved his fist heavily, and he seemed to have found the kind of pride he had when he pacified the world!
But at this moment, someone came in quickly and whispered something close to his ear, Yang Jian's face immediately changed, he seemed to be in disbelief, and muttered to himself: "Puhu...why are you Want to leave me?"
