Now that the living conditions of the people in Lantian County have improved, many farmers with some spare money have begun to repair their houses. After all, people of this ancient nation still have a very deep concept of home in their hearts. The first thing they do when they have money is to improve it. Living environment, whether in modern times or ancient times, is universal.
Mr. Liu's family is no exception. The construction of their house started more than two months ago. It was just completed recently. Mr. Liu took his seven sons to the city to buy some furniture such as tables and cabinets. On the way home, he happened to encounter Yu Dejing being surrounded and killed by two masked men. At the critical moment, Mr. Liu quickly asked his seven sons to come forward to help!
Seeing someone coming to intervene, the man in black was stunned for a moment, then showed a ruthless expression, holding a dagger and cutting Yu Dejing's throat at a faster speed!
"Hey~!"
Seeing this, Mr. Liu's eldest son shouted loudly, picked up a bar stool and threw it in the direction of the assassin in black!
It's just...it's just that the direction in which he was flying should have hit Yu Dejing first, and then the assassin in black!
"Yu Dejing, get down quickly!"
Mr. Liu's eldest son also understood this problem, so he roared and ran straight towards Yu Dejing without stopping.
As for the other sons of Mr. Liu, they were no more than three feet away from Yu Dejing at this time!
At the moment of life and death, reinforcements finally arrived. Yu Dejing's desire to survive was still very strong at this moment. Hearing the shouts from behind, Yu Dejing hurriedly leaned back and fell straight to the ground!
"Huhuhu~!"
The Hu stool spun rapidly in the air and hit the assassin in black in the face.
"Hmph! Damn it!"
Although the assassin had great skills, it would definitely be uncomfortable if he hit the porcelain solidly. He had no choice but to give up on Yu Dejing for the time being, and then quickly retreated.
In just a moment, the seven brothers of the Liu family had surrounded him and blocked Yu Dejing behind him.
"Withdraw~!"
The two assassins in black looked at each other, mouthed the word "withdraw", and then flew towards the hillsides on both sides in unison.
It's not that they can't fight, but that the seven brothers of the Liu family are all tall and strong. If they really want to fight, they can win with their kung fu, but it will inevitably take some time. During this period, if other pedestrians follow If they pass by here, it will be difficult for them to run away!
"Ouch! It hurts me so much!"
Seeing him escaping from the hillsides on both sides, Yu Dejing, who was lying on the ground, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but then there was a sharp pain in the back of his head. He got up from the ground, rubbed his head and shouted.
The rubbing didn't work, and he immediately felt a sticky feeling on his palm. When he brought his hand up to his eyes, he saw that it was all covered in blood, "Hi~!"
Yu Dejing couldn't help but gasp. He didn't expect that the back of his head would bleed after such a fall!
"Yu Xiucai, are you okay?"
Mr. Liu's eldest son asked aloud.
"It's okay! Thank you Mr. Liu and several uncles for helping me, otherwise Dejing would have died today!"
Yu Dejing quickly and solemnly bowed to several people and thanked them.
"Hey! Yu Xiucai, who did you provoke? How could someone want to kill you?"
Liu Erye squinted his eyes and asked.
"Second Master, I don't know them either, but one of them seems to be a mysterious person I just met outside the city!"
Yu Dejing rubbed his head and explained a little. Then he remembered the business and said quickly: "I...I don't have time to explain to you. I have to go to the academy to find Mr. Li Gang as soon as possible. Someone is going to be harmful to the Marquis!" "
"What? Someone wants to do harm to the young master?"
When Liu Erye heard this, his eyes immediately widened. He is not a person who does not understand the importance of seriousness. Yu Dejing is just an ordinary country scholar who cannot be more ordinary. Logically speaking, he would not offend others, but now Yu Dejing is actually being attacked by two people. Masked men in black were chasing him, so after hearing Yu Dejing say that someone was trying to kill Li Zexuan, Mr. Liu instantly realized the seriousness of the matter, so he quickly yelled at his sons around him:
"Quick! You guys escort Yu Xiucai to the academy! Lest he encounter danger again!"
One of the young men couldn't help but said: "Dad, what should we do with this car?"
Mr. Liu said angrily: "What is this? It's already this time, how can you have time to care about this? Quickly escort Yu Xiucai to the academy!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
The young man said quickly.
Yu Dejing gratefully bowed her hands to Second Master Liu and said, "Thank you very much, Second Master! I will explain the details to Second Master later!"
After saying that, without waiting for Mr. Liu's response, Yu Dejing turned around and left!
A group of eight people ran towards Yunshan as fast as possible.
……………………………………………
"Mr. Wenji, several villagers came from outside the academy, saying they have something big to do and want to see you!"
Li Gang was reviewing the final exam questions prepared by each department in his office. At this moment, the sound of Mo Zhong sounded outside the door!
"Come in!"
Li Gang frowned, and after Mo Zhong opened the door and came in, Li Gang asked, "Did the bankers tell me what a big deal it was?"
Mo Zhong cupped his fists and said: "No! But there is a young man named Yu Dejing among them. Last year, the people made a big fuss about the Cui family, and the mountain chief even saved his life. Today, his head is still bleeding. It must be something urgent. !”
"Bleeding?"
Li Gang's expression changed slightly, he stood up quickly and said, "Hurry up and go out with me to take a look!"
After that, the old gentleman took the lead and walked out of the house.
"Are you Yu Dejing? Mo Zhong, send him to the hospital for treatment quickly!"
Arriving in front of the academy gate, Li Gang saw a young man covering his head with blood on his hands. The old man hurriedly gave instructions to Mo Zhong.
"Mr. Wenji, please don't! Don't worry about my injury. I have something very urgent to tell you. Please give me a step to speak!"
Hearing this, Yu Dejing waved her hands quickly.
Li Gang frowned and said: "What can be more important than your life? It's not too late to heal the injury first!"
Yu Dejing staggered a little, probably due to the sequelae of excessive blood loss. He stabilized his body and said: "No, no, no! Mr. Wenji, someone wants to harm Mr. Hou..."
"What? Quick! Mo Zhong! Help him in quickly! Mo Yun, go to the hospital and ask Dr. Qin and Dr. Wang to return to the academy!"
Li Gang's expression suddenly changed, and then he said decisively.
"yes!"
Brothers Mo Zhong and Mo Yun quickly took orders.
…………………………………………
"...That's what happened. If Mr. Liu and the others hadn't arrived in time, I might not have been able to get to the academy..."
A quarter of an hour later, in Li Gang's office, Yu Dejing relied on his strong willpower to resist unconsciousness. He told Li Gang and what he heard behind him what he heard outside Chang'an City this morning and the assassination on the way to Yunshan. Yan Silu, Mo Huai, Ma Zhou and Xu Hongzhi came and spoke again.
Having said that, Yu Dejing finally couldn't bear it any longer and was about to fall to the ground with a somersault.
Fortunately, Mr. Liu's eldest son was quick to help him because of his poor eyesight and hands.
Li Gang said quickly: "Quick! Mo Zhong, you and the Liu brothers will help Yu Dejing down and do some bandaging first, and wait for Dr. Wang and Dr. Qin to come back!"
"Yes! Mr. Wenji!"
Mo Zhong took the Liu brothers and helped Yu Dejing out.
Inside the room, Li Gang's face had become extremely serious. He said angrily: "The mountain chief led hundreds of thousands of chickens in Lantian County to go to the prefectures and counties in Guanzhong to eliminate locusts. I didn't expect that someone would use this matter to maliciously slander me. It really confuses right and wrong and destroys humanity!"
"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple!"
Mo Huai, who had been sitting next to him and had been silent all his life, spoke now. He said with a serious expression: "There are various signs that there should be someone behind the scenes to encourage the people to cause trouble. They chose to discredit the mountain chief and incite public anger. Unexpectedly, they The rumors spread were exposed by Yu Dejing one by one, so he became angry and wanted to kill people and silence them!"
Yan Silu frowned and said: "The question is who would choose to spread rumors and slander the mountain leader at this time? What benefit does this do to them?"
Ma Zhou pondered for a moment and said: "The mountain chief does not go to court all the year round, and he rarely makes enemies in the court. Even if there are enemies, they don't seem to be so courageous. Mr. Mo is right, this matter I’m afraid things are not as simple as they appear on the surface!”
Li Gang's mood had calmed down at this time. He frowned and said, "In your opinion, what arrangements should be made now?"
Mo Huai pondered for a moment and said: "No matter what the true purpose of those people is, they must be coming with bad intentions. The academy should immediately clarify those rumors through Datang Daily to prevent more people from being confused and deceived by the rumors. !”
Li Gang nodded and said: "I will write an article now. Based on those rumors, I will refute the rumors for the mountain chief one by one! Not only will I write it, but you, Ma Zhou, will also write it. In addition, you can arrange it for the "Datang Daily" as soon as possible. Tomorrow There should be some space for us in the newspaper!"
Ma Zhou cupped his hands and said, "Yes! Mr. Wen Ji!"
"Should we inform the mountain chief about this matter via telegraph?"
Seeing that the plan was decided, Xu Hongzhi suddenly asked.
The room instantly became quiet.
After a moment of silence, Li Gang said: "No need! We are running thousands of miles to provide disaster relief. It is not appropriate to be distracted at this time! In addition to clarifying the rumors, I will also give you a note to inform your majesty of the matter and ask him to send someone." Investigate thoroughly who is spreading rumors!”
Xu Hongzhi nodded and said: "Mr. Wenji has thought carefully, Xu has no objection!"
"Yan has no objection either!"
"...Mou Ma has no objection either!"
Mo Huai frowned. He always felt that there was a bigger conspiracy behind this matter, but he had no evidence, so he could only agree: "I have no objection either!"
Seeing this, Li Gang nodded and said: "Okay! Since everyone has no objections, let's proceed as planned! In addition, those murderers dared to commit murder in broad daylight, which shows that Lantian County is not peaceful today. Inform all students. , don’t leave the academy in the near future!”
"yes!"

"Longshou, someone of ours was inciting the people to do bad things to a scholar outside Chang'an City. He led his men to ambush the scholar on his way home, but he was caught by a passerby and the ambush failed!"
In a dim thatched hut in a village in Xinfeng County, a warrior in costume walked in and bowed to a mysterious man wearing a green-faced fang mask by the window.
"Hmph! Waste!"
Under the green-faced fanged mask, a crackling, hoarse voice came out, which made the armored warrior shudder. The mysterious man then said, "Have their identities been exposed?"
"No!"
The armored warrior bowed and replied.
There was a brief silence in the room. After a while, the mysterious man said: "Let's spare their lives for the time being, but they can avoid the death penalty, but they cannot escape the living penalty. Each of them will have to cut off a hand tendon~!"
".......yes!"
The armored warrior trembled and followed the order.
"Longshou, it seems that Li Zexuan is very popular among the people!"
A ghostly figure walked out of the darkness of the house. If you look closely, you can see that there is a ferocious scar above his eyebrows. He looks like an evil ghost from hell. He just heard him say sadly.
"Hmph! The more I gain, the more I will make him lose! Only when he has nothing and is notorious can he be completely used by me! This is just the first step, and more exciting things are yet to come!"
Speaking of this, the man wearing the mask couldn't help but have a hint of fanaticism in his voice, "Have you got the gunpowder formula?"
The scarred man replied: "No! That Li Zexuan is cunning and ruthless. There is no place to produce gunpowder in the Qiquge Workshop, and no one knows the complete formula. At the moment we can only use that thing instead, although it is less powerful. A little, but it should be enough!”
gunpowder!
Logically speaking, the only people who knew about this thing were Li Zexuan and Li Er. Who would have thought that these two people actually knew about gunpowder!
The so-called dragon head nodded and said: "Well, that's all we can do! Let the people below be careful and don't cause unnecessary trouble! Don't be like that idiot Jin Wanfu, who broke down due to carelessness. This is a big deal for this Dragon Head!"
"Don't worry, Dragon Head, I will ask the people below to act with caution!"
The scarred man responded.
"Um!"
The mysterious dragon head nodded, remained silent for a moment and then said: "I'll let another rumor out tomorrow. I'd really like to see how Li Shimin reacts when he finds out~!"
"Dragon Head, is it too early?"
The scarred man hesitated.
"Haha! Not early! Not early!"
The mysterious dragon head smiled and said: "We need to get the Tang Dynasty into chaos as soon as possible. Only when there is chaos can we do things easily. This is called taking advantage of the trend/following the trend! Let the Disha Group be prepared. Once the time is right, we will act immediately !”
"Yes! Dragon Head! Dragon Head is wise!"
The armored warrior bowed to accept the order, then turned and left.
The dragon head was the only one left in the house.
He put his hands behind his hands and looked in the direction of the southwest palace, sneered twice, and then murmured: "The big drama is about to begin. Li Shimin, Li Shimin, I want you to become my prisoner completely~!"
