Bastards

For half a month, Yang Xuan went all the way west along the Weishui River, passed Jishui River, crossed Jincheng County, the waterway connected with the Yellow River, and almost reached Xiping.

He has an upright nature, doesn't like twists and turns, and simply crushes with force. When he meets a narrow road, the brave wins. Advocates, a little bit more.

There are many river gangs on the river, and everyone competes with each other. They will fight passionately, and they will also hide their knives with a smile and make some dirty tricks.But Yang Xuan's brave and invincible, righteousness and protection of weaknesses, regardless of the southeast and northwest winds, I stand still, soldiers come to block, and the sturdy and domineering, which is covered by water and earth, is especially supported by people.

The men of the river gang value righteousness and follow this path. They have experienced many times of life and death, and many times of betrayal. Yang Xuan's personality and behavior style are like the best tailor-made for them. Boss, if you follow him, you will definitely not suffer!With such a boss, who would be willing to betray!If unfortunately he dies in an accident, he will not worry at all that his family will be left behind to take care of him. The boss will definitely avenge him and take care of his family!

The river gang does business, work with your head on your trouser pocket, isn't it just to support your family!If you want to follow, you must follow the strongest boss!

Everyone has a mentality of admiration, especially the men of the He Gang, who are more straightforward and simple-minded. As long as Yang Xuan shows the corresponding strength, they will worship him. They don't mind whether Yang Xuan is too young and easier to deal with than court officials. too much!

During this period, did he use all kinds of tricks, how and how much he used; which part of the external image he created was true and which part was false... No one knew except Yang Xuan himself.

After two days and two nights of fierce fighting, Yang Xuan took over the largest and deepest river gang in the west for himself. Yang Xuan lay on his back on the bloody bow and watched the stars, feeling very good.

What Cui Mata taught is correct, tricks have to be carried out in secret, and they have to be carried out on the surface, and they must be given a name of justice. It would be better if they could hit some oddities.The banner of justice, the resounding slogan, the choice of the way of heaven, no one can refuse... In a short period of time, the self-confidence and pride of these He Gang men have been rising, and they almost think that what they do is comparable to the hero who defends the country and is loyal. up!

It is true that this is just a small river gang, and it would be much more difficult if it were put in court, but after finding the way and learning the spirit, Yang Xuan expressed his anticipation and wanted to give it a try!Thinking about it, thinking about who brought all this, Yang Xuan sighed deeply, and missed that rabbit even more.

Daohai helped Sun Min with the best news and the most transparent mind. He was the first to be targeted by Yang Xuan at the beginning. If he controls the Chang'an section of the Weishui River, he will sincerely worship him.

According to the news on the river, there are nobles from the royal family coming to Chang'an, disputes on the water must be avoided, strong winds are not suitable, Sun Min thought Yang Xuan would give up or extend the time.It happened that the river couldn't be built, so he was itchy all over, so he followed Yang Xuan, who knew that this person didn't want to stop at all, he couldn't do the Chang'an section, he went west, and killed the deep-rooted, 30-year-old man. The changed Hexi leader!

Along the way, Sun Min had seen enough of Yang Xuan's performance, his eyes were shining brightly, such a young, strong, and promising person, no one would be stupid to anyone!

He no longer cared about the previous agreement. He watched Yang Xuan take down the Xihe Gang with his own eyes, and immediately came to pledge his allegiance.He decided that this time he would hand over the real voting certificate!

After Yang Xuan heard the news from the dark guard, the corner of his mouth raised silently, he should have come a long time ago!Allowing this person to follow him for so long is his limit!

Sun Min was brought to the boat, and when he saw Yang Xuan, he immediately knelt down and made a "plop", which was very strong.

"Dao Hai helped Sun Min, and met Mr. Sha!"

Yang Xuan sat up lazily, with one leg bent, his back leaning against the deck, and his uninjured arm casually slapped. He didn't deliberately send out any signals. Just sitting with the backlight like this, his momentum was already astonishing.

"What third master, I'm so young?" His voice was not even like that of a boy of this age, it was deep and dark, like a stream in the dark night, seemingly relaxed, but in fact, there was a faint murderous intent.

As expected of the master I chose!

Sun Min's mind shook, and he immediately changed his words: "Master Sha!"

Yang Xuan snorted and answered, "Get up."

Sun Min hesitated where to start, Yang Xuan didn't want to talk to anyone, the boat was quiet for a while.

After a long time, Yang Xuan clicked his tongue again, glanced lazily over here, as if urging: I have something to say, I have to fart!

Sun Min's palms were sweating, and he asked cautiously: "Young Master Sha had an appointment with me...do you remember?"

Yang Xuan raised her eyebrows: "Isn't this not done yet? How can I come to find Gangzhu Sun?"

"Master Sha, don't say that, you are so shameless!" Sun Min knelt down again, and began to call Lord.Afraid that Yang Xuan would find him annoying, he didn't dare to delay, and directly kowtowed, "Little Sun Min, this time I came here to bring help to Lord Sha, please allow me!"

"Oh? Submit to me?" Yang Xuan's voice drifted, as if he had no interest.

Sun Min was afraid that Yang Xuan's next sentence would be "Why do I want you?" He said immediately: "I know one thing, whether it is important to the Yuhe gang, to small officials in various places, or to important officials in the court!"

"what?"

"Account book! Whoever gets it can order the officials who signed it!"

Yang Xuan's eyes tightened suddenly: "There is such a thing?" But he didn't know!

Sun Min looked around and moved closer: "It's true, if I didn't want to save Lord Sha and take me in, I wouldn't dare to expose this matter. Who knows who will die with this thing... I know where a copy is, and I would like to dedicate it to you." With Lord Sha."

"Do you know how to lie to me?"

Sun Min trembled at the frost-soaked tone, and then said firmly: "How can I not know Sha Ye's methods? You can send someone to get it now. If you can't get it, I, Sun Min, will bring it up." See!"

Sun Min's brows were firm, his words were loud and clear, and he was determined to take out the stuff in the bottom of the box. He was really worried that Yang Xuan would not believe it.

Before, it was Yang Xuan who killed him and turned him down to the Hai Gang. He wanted to talk about cooperation, but he was blind and didn't see the real dragon, so he rejected him. Now that he saw how powerful he was, he came forward again. It is normal for others to doubt him if he is short.

At this moment, Sun Min regrets the past, and especially hopes that time will pass by and go back to the original moment. As soon as he meets him, he will pledge allegiance to Lord Sha!

Lord Sha, Yang Xuan...Of course he acted in line with the image of the boss. He temporarily accepted Sun Min, recruited his own people, and asked Sun Min to explain the appearance of the account book and how to take it away in detail. Help everyone together.

Sun Min knew that the suspicion was only temporary, as long as Lord Sha got the account book and the application form worked, he would be reused immediately!His ambition and his means are all because Xiri's stage is too small, and he dare not show it in every crisis. If there is Lord Sha to protect him, he will definitely be even more powerful!

After Ding Wu left, Yang Xuan was finally injured, and after fighting for so long, he was finally tired and slept until dawn.When he woke up, he saw the letter placed next to his pillow, which came from Yicheng - Lanqiao.

Lan Qiao knew the contents of the letter written by Lan Qiao. He jumped up almost immediately and couldn't wait to open the letter. His movements were too big, and even touched the wound.

But he felt no pain at all.

As expected, the letters are all about Cui Yu, Cui Yu reads, Cui Yu takes a bath, what kind of tea Cui Yu likes recently, what kind of clothing pattern, Cui Yu teaches Cui Ying what "crying and laughing skills", training little fat Cui Jin... he Through these letters, I can think of the good-looking appearance of that rabbit, beautiful and splendid.

But the good-looking rabbit is only for others to see, he thought so much, he couldn't sleep at night, but he couldn't see it... His heart was inexplicably sour, and he had the urge to destroy something.

Then there is no good news.

Cui Mata was bullied.Bullied by his own father, bullied by his aunt, bullied by his brother and sister... and even bullied by Tian Xiang who came out of nowhere!

That Tian Xiang also came to the door, and asked Cui Yu to follow him by name, from a stinky piece of shit!His rabbit is brilliant and cute, as clean as a flower in the water, Tian Xiang is a fart, how dare he think about it!Thinking of the obscene things in Tian Xiang's mind, Cui Yu felt sick, and inadvertently crushed the corner of the table.Mrs. Zhang dared to collude with outsiders to give Cui Yu that indiscriminate drug, and tried to send Cui Yu over there!

Cui Yu said that the Cui family's family affairs will be handled by himself, and he will not be allowed to intervene. He respects Cui Yu, and even if he wants to kill Cui's family, it is not easy to do it, but this Tian Xiang...doesn't need to live!

With a sinister smile on the corner of Yang Xuan's mouth, his aura was as cold as ice, he calmly put on his clothes, leaving most of the people here to continue to clean up the aftermath, and rushed to Chang'an with a few people!

……

Yicheng.Yaqing Tea House.

This time it was a very private room, Cui Yu was invited by Zhao Ji to meet someone.

Zhang Song, formerly the governor of Wu County, who offended whom he offended, was suddenly demoted, or a big one, and was directly sent back to his hometown from the high position of governor.

When Cui Yu first heard the name, he was stunned for a moment, and thought it sounded familiar. When he saw the person, he suddenly understood.

This person, he had seen in his previous life.

In his previous life, Yang Xuan's journey was not smooth, but he had subdued a group of loyal subordinates, and Zhang Song was one of them.He had been fortunate enough to meet him a few times, and Zhang Song at that time...was no better than he is now.

The current Zhang Song is over [-] years old. Because of his poor career, his brows and eyes are slightly gloomy, but his back is straight, his temperament is elegant, he can smile, and his fingers are full.The one he had seen was missing two fingers on his left hand, and he was much older. He had white hair before he reached his age, his back was always bent, his face was always stern, and his eyes were full of sharp and strange scrutiny.

A disabled person cannot be an official, but Zhang Song has a great talent, and Yang Xuan did not dislike him, so he took it under his command and became the external manager.What is a foreign manager?Similar to the internal manager, the internal manager is in charge of everything around Yang Xuan, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation, including handling the backyard; the outer manager handles all official affairs, he has to sort out court documents, he has to collect information, and Yang Xuan's subordinates report to him. He wants to separate them according to priorities and hand them over to Yang Xuan...everything related to Yang Xuan will go through his hands, and he will also give advice on seizing the heir.

This person is Yang Xuan's most trusted person, and has Yang Xuan's status dragon card. At some point, he can even give orders on Yang Xuan's behalf.

Is he... is he also from Yicheng?

Cui Mata was in a trance for a moment.

"Let me introduce. This man is called Zhang Song. He is my good teacher and helpful friend. He has taken good care of me since I was very young." Zhao Ji smiled and pointed to Cui Yu. "He is Cui Yu. I often talk to you. The one you mentioned. Don’t look at him as young, but he’s really capable!”

Zhang Songzai carefully looked at Cui Yu several times, and said with a smile: "The young man has clear eyebrows and clear eyes, and his eyes are full of wisdom. He is a good friend."

"You are rude."

Zhao Ji held the pot and poured tea for the two of them with a smile. The room was a little quiet, but he didn't feel embarrassed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"I heard from Zhao Ji that you helped with his niece's matter?" Zhang Song thought for a while, and then added, "You are also helping in the current official position?"

It seems that Zhao Ji trusts Zhang Song quite a lot, and has no secrets in front of this person...

Cui Yu took a look at Zhao Ji and nodded slightly: "Some trivial things are not worth mentioning."

Zhao Ji was grinning, and raised his hand to give way: "Drink tea, Cui Liu, come and drink tea..." His gesture was very attentive.

Zhang Song glanced at the two of them and sighed: "How can it be a trivial matter? Relieving others' troubles and offering them to others is a great kindness, which should be reciprocated by the spring."

"When I do things, I never plan to report later," Cui Yu glanced at Zhao Ji shallowly, "Helping others is only a point, and this matter has long since ended for me. Will Zhao Ji benefit in the future? Whether it can be kept, whether it can get better and better... I don't care."

Zhang Songruo realized everything: "If it's hard to ask again..."

Cui Yu held the teacup with his slender fingers, smiled and said, "Of course I don't care."

"Relieve people's predicament, but don't ask for what you want, and encourage greed, that's good!" Zhang Song's eyes are bright, and the bottom of his eyes are full of praise.

Cui Yu's posture is humble, and he dare not even say it to be praised.

No matter how high-sounding the words are, no matter how good the atmosphere is created, in fact, the facts are a bit hurtful.He would make such a decision, just because... If the mud that can't support the wall can't create any value, it's not worthy of him to continue to help.

Cui Yu lowered his eyes and drank tea with a smile, his every move was modest and courteous, his son was like jade, he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart at all.

Zhao Ji looked at Zhang Song, then at Cui Yu, his eyes aggrieved: "I know that I have changed it, how could I be as stupid as before, you have to believe in my ability, don't give up on me!"

Zhang Song and Cui Yu turned their heads at the same time and asked in unison: "Really?"

Zhao Ji directly hugged his head: "You bully me together!"

Zhang Song and Cui Yu looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

Cui Yu had a good impression of Zhang Song. This person was actually very restrained. What he thought in his heart was different from what he showed on the outside, but there was no slightest contempt in his eyes, even if it was a boy who was much younger than him.

He is willing to give respect to others, and he will take it back unless he finds that the person opposite is not worthy.

Cui Yu quietly listened to the chat between Zhang Song and Zhao Ji for a while, and he found something amazing.The two people's ideas are quite consistent, and other places may not insist on it. The heirloom inheritance system seems to be their belief and must be followed.

No wonder... Zhang Song will become Yang Xuan's diehard.

This time, it will probably be the same.

Based on the few memories of his previous life, the information he had collected recently, the letters from Luoyang, and the information in the mansion newspaper issued by the government... he felt that Zhang Song might be in trouble.

Then when the short chat between the two of them was over, when Zhao Ji pulled him to ask for something, Cui Yu said, "I don't know if I should back up and judge for you, but I just think... this brother Zhang might be in trouble."

Zhao Ji was quite sensitive to such words, his face immediately changed, his brows and eyes were quite serious: "Is what you said true?"

Cui Yu looked at him quietly: "You know, I never hypothesize."

Zhao Ji was dumbfounded.Is Zhang Song in trouble?What trouble?from where?How to deal with it?Panicked, he pulled Zhang Song's sleeve: "Quickly, think about who you have offended recently, who wants to mess with you! Cui Liu has always been accurate in his words! He can help you only by who you say! "

Zhang Song was stunned for a moment, completely clueless: "But recently... I'm doing very well."

Zhao Ji: "Think again!"

Zhang Song thought for a while, but still shook his head: "Recently, I haven't offended anyone, and no one has troubled me."

Cui Mata tapped the desktop with his fingertips: "It's not recent, maybe it's the past."

Following these words, Zhang Song frowned slightly.But he quietly looked at Cui Mata for a while, but didn't say anything.

Zhao Ji slapped the table fiercely, his eyebrows sharply: "Is it that Yu Xiaozhi! It's not enough to drive you away from Wu County, why should I chase you over to bully you!"

"Yu Xiaozhi?" Cui Yu was a little surprised, his name was similar to Yu Xiaoquan's. Is it a family?

"It's the Wu family who are related to Yu Xiaoquan, the prefect of our county!" Zhao Ji seemed to know what Cui Yu was wondering about, so he explained it directly, "That Yu Jieyu in the palace is Yu Xiaozhi's biological aunt!"

"I see."

"That family is not a good person! Relying on the power in the harem, they can eat whatever they want and do whatever they want. They specialize in seeking relationships and eliminating dissidents. Brother Zhang is no longer the first one they bullied! Unexpectedly, it was not enough, they What do you want to do!" Zhao Ji was very angry.As he spoke, he winked at Zhang Song. It was very obvious that he wanted Zhang Song to speak. They begged Cui Yu together, and Cui Yu must have a solution.

But Zhang Song still didn't say anything, just lowered his head and looked down, drinking the tea in his hand.

Zhao Ji's eyes darkened.

Cui Yu didn't take care of everything casually, Zhang Song obviously had some concerns, and he didn't want to talk about it, and he didn't like to force others to make things difficult for him.

So this day's small gathering, the atmosphere was not very good when we broke up.

Zhao Ji bid farewell to Zhang Song, and went out of the teahouse with Cui Yu, but did not leave.He pulled Cui Yu to a remote alley, hesitated for a while, and then said: "I know your ability, and I also know that you don't help others casually. You have helped me once. I thank you. Zhang Song is my only one." My elder and friend, I really... really..."

Cui Yu looked at him: "Don't worry, speak slowly."

"Actually, there is something I decided to tell you a long time ago. I asked you out today because I wanted to talk to you, but now that I say it, it seems like I'm threatening you for help...in my heart...in my heart..." Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows Wrinkled into a ball, it seemed difficult to speak, "It seems to have the same meaning, it's really shameful!" After a moment, he gritted his teeth again, "Hey! A manly man, what are you doing like a bitch! That's it, Cui Liu, I'll tell you one thing, but it's my heart, it's not a thank you, nor a threat to help Zhang Song, after listening to the following words, you can do whatever you want Do as you like, it has nothing to do with Zhang Song, understand?"

"Yeah." Cui Yan almost couldn't help laughing, this Zhao Ji is really a pure-hearted person.

"You know that my brother died and committed a serious crime, and many people came to the house to ask about it. There has been no movement in the past two years." Zhao Jiding looked at Cui Yu with serious eyes, "In fact, my brother stayed behind. Something, but it's too confidential and important to tell anyone."

As soon as Cui Yu heard the word 'confidential', he became emotional: "What?"

"An account book with an official's signature on it. Whoever gets this thing can order the official with the name on it!"

……

When Cui Yu returned home, his thoughts were still spinning, the account book... there is such an account book!Zhao Zhongyi died because of this!

After thinking about it for a while, he called Lan Qiao and told him the address method Zhao Ji said in detail: "...you go and find it for me and bring it back. This thing is very important and must not be revealed, understand?"

It's not the first time to work for the master, Lan Qiao responded crisply: "Understood, young master, I'm going to Chang'an now!"

……

In the afternoon of this day, there was news from Dongfu Di Changzhi that Cui Qian had been promoted!

The promotion from Xicao to county magistrate is not too big, but it is also a promotion!If this momentum can be maintained, the future will definitely be promising!

Over there, they ran around to tell each other, handed out rewards, and added food to the servants, and all they had to do was beat the gongs and drums. On the Xifu side, Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a long time when she heard it.

It's not that she's not smart, if it wasn't for the deep obsession in her heart, she couldn't have missed this point - Cui Yu is extraordinary!

At the beginning, she didn't think in this direction, but later things happened one after another, quite regularly.She doesn't provoke Cui Yu, everything is fine and smooth, if she provokes it, she will be unlucky, she didn't care about the consequences when she was young, but when the consequences were big, she couldn't think of this at all, because a helpless little bastard can't do anything at all to this!

But the facts are in front of her, so there is no room for her to doubt...

She called Cui Jiazhen to the main courtyard and asked her: "During the Chang'an autumn banquet, you said you saw Cui Yu at Xie's house. Come back and tell me. I will ask you to inquire about it. You go to Lin's house and come back. It is said that Cui Mata has no personal connections, but is that so?"

Cui Jiazhen's heart skipped a beat, and she smiled unnaturally: "Mother, there are so many things at home now, why ask this?"

"I'm asking if you are!" Mrs. Zhang slapped the table fiercely, staring at her with red eyes, "Just tell the truth!"

Cui Jiazhen was taken aback, tears welled up, but she still dared not admit it: "That's...that's it."

I don't know about the daughter I gave birth to?Mrs. Zhang squinted her eyes, and her voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth: "Give, me, tell, tell the truth!"

Cui Jiazhen also knows best what it's like for her mother to be really angry. When she can't lie, she immediately covered her face with a handkerchief, and cried: "I... I forgot... I made it up... I made it up... talk."

Mrs. Zhang sat on the ground slumped, stared at Cui Jiazhen after a while, as if looking at an enemy, and said in a voice like weeping blood, "It's easy for you to make up your words, but it hurt our family!"
