Chapter 51 The Murderer

I have been exploring a set of routines that I am used to when I have been rising and falling on the sea boats all year round, but regularization and institutionalization are difficult to complete from the bottom up, while Jiangyin is quite forward.

There were cicadas on Hongnong's summer nights. With the night and the noisy cicadas, the two teams went from north to south, avoided the server and touched the east of the city.

The Yang family's courtyard wall is very easy to recognize. In fact, the direct descendants of the Hongnong Yang family did not live in the city, but in villages outside the city.

Although the county town is a city, the city wall is actually not high, and the moat is just a trench, it is not as good as the Yang family’s village in the “country”.

Not to mention the mountains and rivers, there is also a "Hucun River" in villages. A large number of houses are located along the "Hucun River". Houses naturally become "city walls" and the height does not exceed the system. The height of the city walls in Hongnong County is not necessarily higher than that of the Yang Family Village.

Moreover, because the county is narrow, there is not much grain stored in the city. Anyway, it is not as good as the Yang family village, which can last for several years.

However, the Yang family still has a "luxury house" in the east of the city in the county. The main functions are: one is to communicate with each other, the second is to show their strength, and the third is to entertain guests much easier.

At this time, among the guests of the "Yang House", there was Yang Zhengben, the son of the former Sui Dynasty's Imperial College. The magistrate of Fanyang County has been elected for more than half a year. The "Monument of the Four Barbarians" was printed and the second saints came to Xijing. This should have been his opportunity.

But by chance, it is difficult to get on the verge of a tiger now.

"Alang, why are you tossing and turning?"

On the couch, Yang Zhengben was wearing silk pajamas. I don’t know if it was because the summer night was too annoying or the mood was too bad, but he tossed and turned but couldn’t sleep.

The wife Wei, who was beside her, had guilt in the darkness, and there were disputes within Yang. Isn’t that the same with Wei? Those idiots wanted to deceive the world so that they could provoke disputes, and then hoped that the “chaotic times” would come again, so that they could follow their ancestors and win in chaos.

But in fact, Wei also knew that this was just "taken from fire".

Is Zhang De's son so easy to kill?

It’s not that he has dealt with Zhang De, especially Yang Zhengben. He was able to go to Fanyang to be the county magistrate because the Fanyang Lu family fell. The introducer was from Yang Shidao’s family, and Yang Shidao’s whole family had a good relationship with Zhang De. In other words, the descendants of the former Sui royal family had a good relationship with Zhang De.

Yang Zhengben could not have known it, but now he is dragged into the water because Yang Zhengben's wife Wei blew the pillow wind.

I didn't notice it for a while and thought it was Wei's idle enemy, so I did it.

What's more, when they all arrived in Hongnong land, others dared not do it, so what's wrong with their Yang family?

Now I'm sitting on wax.

"Tan Niang, do you know... this time, the future of being a husband is completely over?"

"Alang!"

Yang Zhengben called her "Tan Niang", because her real name is Wei Tante, and she usually called her the small word "Vayali" when she used to take the Xianbei name. Only when she was more serious would Yang Zhengben call her "Tan Niang".

This is the tacit understanding that Wei Tante has been following Yang Zhengben for many years since he was fifteen years old.

Sitting up anxiously, Weitante held her husband's arm: "Alang, it's okay, haven't the angel said anything..."

For a moment, she didn't know how to continue. After a while, she said: "If it really doesn't work...If it really doesn't work, go and ask Nizi. She is Zhaorong of the Tian family, and asking her is always useful. The worst... the worst... let Concubine Wei help her to tell you about the Xiang, and see which minister is going to die. It's also good to go... to be a wander..."

"Wanlang? Ha..."

Yang Zhengben's inner irritability was also dispersed by his wife's words.

I was so angry that I laughed, probably that's it.

"My former minister Zuo Cheng, the son of the Imperial Prince, is even more of the blood of the Yang family of Hongnong. When will I become a man of others and be able to gain a future?"

"Alang..."

The so-called "Wanlang" is the person who carries the coffin during the funeral of a dead person.

Nowadays, it is not possible for anyone to be a "sweeping man". Most of the people are their nephews or brothers when they were alive. If they have friends with a good reputation in the local area, they can do so.

When you come to the circle of powerful people, you must see your origin when carrying a coffin. Not only does it mean you can see your origin, but also your virtue, character, talent, and so on.

As long as you become a "Wanlang", the interpersonal relationships left by dead people can spread to "Wanlang".

Therefore, "Wanglang" is also a way to make a fortune. It is like being a staff member for the ranks of officials and a cruel official for the emperor. It is a way to gain the position.

Yang Zhengben was about to speak, but suddenly he was stunned for a moment. He felt that it seemed to be quieter.

Before, there were cicadas and crickets, and even in the yard, there were movements of "Lushapo" from time to time. It seemed that in a sudden, the cries of these insects disappeared without a trace.

A shocked Yang Zhengben, who had been working in Fanyang for a long time, jumped off the bed. Without waiting for his wife to continue speaking, he covered Weitante's mouth, then leaned closer and whispered: "Don't make a sound."

The weather was so hot. Although the windows were open for ventilation, there was no wind chip. Yang Zhengben stepped on the floor barefoot and touched the sword on the clothes hanger.

He slowly pulled out his sword, held the sword in both hands, and his feet seemed to move forward inch by inch. He seemed to be too cautious and timid, but in fact these are all the steps in swordsmanship.

The eldest son of the Zhenguan Dynasty really couldn't find a few people who could not bend their bows, shoot arrows, swords and ride horses.

Clip, Clip...

There was a very casual sound of wooden clogs coming from the outside. Yang Zhengben breathed a sigh of relief, but still shouted, "Is it a damselfly?"

The servants who served them did not live in the house, but in the hut. Yang Zhengben thought that maybe it was the servants who got up at night, but maybe it was.

"Ah, yes, it's me..."

It seemed that he was startled by Yang Zhengben's sudden speech. His natural reaction relaxed Yang Zhengben's nervous mood. His nerves made him sweat a lot. He was sweating all over his head. He held a sword in one hand and stretched out his sleeves to wipe the sweat, suddenly the room suddenly lit up.

A sudden light appeared in the darkness, which made Yang Zhengben's eyes unable to adapt quickly. He just knew that it might be a torch thrown in.

Then there was a "clang" sound, as if it was a door latch or something fell to the ground. Then there was a "creaking" sound. Without waiting for his reaction, a crisp "puff" sound was cut off by a broken blade.

Wei Tante didn't see what was going on clearly at all, but felt a shadow full of shadows. Then after a few strange sounds, a black shadow jumped over, a cold light flashed, and his body and head separated!

"Fifth Brother."

Carrying two bloody heads, the body was still spraying blood out "chichi". The masked man in the lead stepped over Yang Zhengben's headless body, pulled off a piece of gauze, stained some blood, and wrote a line of words on the wall.

The murderer is Zhang Cang, Jiangdong!
