Although Xiaokura Mountain is dangerous, it is a place to live. Although the mountain village is small, it is the capital for a comeback. Yang Hao cherishes everything in front of him very much. He is willing to spend all his energy to take care of all this.★Wくw    W√.

★8く1くz★W.

Although Cao Zhou was greedy, stupid, violent and heartless, he left Yang Hao with a solid family background:

A dangerous mountain with a radius of 400 miles, a mountain village that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. According to legend, a 10,000 Khitan cavalry besieged Xiaocang Mountain on all sides a year, and there will be no progress in three months. This is a bit exaggerated, but according to Yang Hao's field investigation, if there is no internal ghost to guide the way, it is not easy for three or five thousand people to break the mountain village.

The food stored in the village was enough to eat for one year, and the gold, silver and property were discounted by no less than one million yuan. More importantly, the 470 soldiers in the village were all young and middle-aged men aged 16 to 35. There was no elderly person to support, and no frail or disabled people to take care of. When Cao Zhou was in charge of the family, all the men who were disabled due to injuries and illnesses were forced to be dismissed.

There are twenty-eight women in the village, the youngest is sixteen years old and the oldest is thirty-eight years old, and none of them have children. Because these women were forced by Cao Zhou to take poisonous herbs that can cause sterilization and cannot conceive.

Cao Zhou did this with his own selfish intentions. He once said after drinking: "Brothers can only be dedicated to their own affairs if they are not tired of their families. If they have wives, they will not be close to each other and their children will be together, and the people's hearts will be dispersed and the village will collapse." In his opinion, the situation is the best now, but there are wine, meat, and money to spend. If you miss women, there will be women sleeping, and there will be no family. It is really a happy and joyful life for a god.

Xiaocang Mountain guards the important transportation routes. Due to the convenience of the location, it can eat and drink by pulling out a half-feather of the geese passing by. Cao Zhou is fierce inside, but he looks servile to the outside. By constantly paying tribute, he has created a relatively safe external environment for the parody.

Yang Hao believed that if he wanted to establish authority in the copycat, he had to change his course and do something different from Cao Zhou. After taking over as the leader of the village, the first thing he did was to take out public funds to build their own houses for the eight older leaders, and then arrange for them to marry and have children. Unfilial piety is the greatest thing to be unfilial. This concept formed over the past thousand years cannot be erased by a single word of loyalty.

After that, he announced that the village soldiers could marry and have children at the age of twenty-five, and he would bear 30% of the cost of marrying a wife and the rest would be borne by the copycat.

Disabled village soldiers can have two options: one is to send them back to their hometowns with a lot of money; the other is to stay in the village for retirement, and all the expenses required for retirement are borne by the village.

The copycat hires tutors, sets up schools, hires famous doctors, and sets up clinics. All brothers and family members of the copycat can enjoy it for free.

As soon as Yang Hao announced these articles, the upper and lower levels were happy to submit. The position of the village leader was no longer coveted. After the internal affairs were settled, Yang Hao brought tribute to the Khitan Chute, Yishi, Wuwei and other tribes. These tribes surrounded Xiaocang Mountain and all had their hands to kill their strength. It was not the time to fight them head-on. This time, Yang Hao added another extra to the original tribute as an additional gift for his first time as the village leader.

Chu Te and the Yi family are both powerful and arrogant. They accepted Yang Hao's extra offer, and they didn't say much about Xie. Wu Wei's Yili Jin Wukui Daxiang is Yu Yue (prime minister) of the Eight Tribe Alliance. He is a cunning person. He learned that Xiaocang Mountain had a new village leader and specially held a banquet to entertain Yang Hao.

In order to reassure him, Yang Hao deliberately pretended to be boasting, smart but short-sighted. Wu Kui Daxiang's several temptations were resolved by him one by one. Finally, he determined that the young man in front of him would not pose any threat to Wu Wei. So he sent Yang Hao back a generous gift: six Han women who were plundered by them.

All the six women were young and beautiful. Yang Hao said Xie and collected them all. After returning to the mountain, he placed the six women in Mu Kun's mother's place and drank and ate with him. Mu Kun threw Cao Xiangyang at the last moment and cleared his heart and faced him. He still sat in the second seat of the mountain village. His mother Xie was over 70 years old. When Cao Zhou was in power, he could only live in a villa at the foot of the mountain. Only then did he move up the mountain and reunite with the mother and son. Xie respected and loved Yang Hao and treated him as his biological son.

Under the supervision of Xie, outsiders had no way to see the reality of the situation, so a few days later, rumors spread everywhere, saying that the leader of the village wanted to embezzle the six daughters. Yang Hao secretly investigated and learned that the rumor was Fangtang, a wise guest in the front hall. He also found out that this person was familiar with Khitan language and had a close relationship with the Khitan human beings. When he accompanied Yang Hao to visit Wuwei's tribe, he disappeared for half a day without any trace.

Yang Hao had a conspiracy in his mind, so he summoned the leaders of the parish and asked everyone who wanted to get married this year? Eleven people raised their hands and shouted, and Yang Hao called the clerk to register the names of everyone. However, he said, "The day before yesterday, Wukui Daxiang Khan gave me six women, but I dare not take them all, but she was born in poor families, and they were not polite, and had been defeated by Hu Chen for many years. He was inevitably a little savage and hostile. He was only afraid that the fight in the door would stop day and night. Therefore, I asked the old lady to carefully guard. Now that the old lady has accepted them as goddaughters, I also become brothers and sisters with them, and then match them with you and others as wives?"

When everyone heard this, they were thunderous. However, there were only six people who were begging for their wives. There were too many monks and too little porridge to make a reservation. When the bookkeeper was writing notes, Yang Hao called Fang Tang to his side and secretly stuffed him a note with the word "Zhong" on it, saying: "You are the oldest among the eleven people, and your marriage should not be delayed any longer." He also reminded: "Don't let outsiders know."

Afterwards, Fang Tang was indeed defeated. Yang Hao asked him to be the first to pick his wife because he was older. Fang Tang was very moved and said to everyone: "I guess the abdomen of a gentleman with a villain's heart. I am really ashamed to die. In the future, only the master of the boss will not die well if he dares to disobey this." Yang Hao helped him up and said: "It doesn't have to be like this for all brothers. Brothers gather together rely on loyalty, and act according to laws. Article 4 of the law of this village: Do not hide the people of wealth and goods privately. If you don't know the truth, why not talk?" Everyone said that Yang Hao is generous.

That night, the mountain village held a banquet to celebrate, and the big and small minions drank until midnight. When Yang Hao returned to the house, he couldn't walk well. He saw that the lights were still on in Mu Long's house. She didn't sleep in the middle of the night but lay on the table. What did she do if she didn't sleep in the middle of the night? Yang Hao walked over and patted her shoulder and said, "It's still cold, let's rest on the bed." Mu Long did not move, and Yang Hao reached out to push her.

Unexpectedly, after this push, Mu Long suddenly collapsed to the ground, the table was covered with blood, but she had already had her throat cut and had already disappeared.

Yang Hao's alcohol was so scented that he turned into cold sweat. He touched Mu Long's body again and was still warm. Soon after his death, Yang Hao locked the door quietly and called Mu Kun and Liu Pan himself.

Before Hu Chunyu left, Liu Pan was elected as the Sixth Head Office, in charge of the guards of Juyi Hall and the surrounding core areas. Yang Hao understood that he was Hu Chunyu's confidant and a chess piece placed in Xiaocang Mountain by Haotian Trading Club. As long as he did not turn against Haotian Trading Club, Liu Pan could rely on and reuse it.

As for Mu Kun, his loyalty to Cao Zhou has passed away with Cao Zhou's death. With his personality, as long as he thinks he deserves loyalty, he will follow you wholeheartedly and never betray you half-heartedly.

The two carefully checked the murder scene, and Mu Kun said with certainty: "This is done by an insider." Because the matter was within Liu Pan's responsibility area, Liu Pan's face was a little uneasy. In addition, the two had a marriage before, so they asked with a cold face and a provocative tone: "Is this the second village leader too arbitrary? Why didn't I see it?"

Mu Kun snorted coldly and said calmly: "There is no sign of fighting in the room. Miss Mu Long was cut from the front and died. Only acquaintances would make her unprepared." Speaking of this, he sternly asked Liu Pan: "Where is the guard in the inner house? Why are the murderers allowed to come and go freely?" Liu Pan blushed and hesitated: "I, I asked them to drink." Mu Kun turned black when he heard this: "How can the guard in the inner house withdraw without authorization? It's simply nonsense!"

Liu Pan was scolded and turned black, gritting his teeth with hatred. Yang Hao said, "Don't blame Liu Pan for this matter, I asked him to take the person away." Speaking of this, Yang Hao said to Mu Kun thoughtfully: "Mu Long can't speak, and he doesn't know many people in the village. If you investigate one by one, you must find out the murderer. Remember to do this quietly and not make any public statement." He turned around and ordered Liu Pan: "No one can leave the village without my command in the past few days, and anyone who violates the order will be taken down!"

Three days later, Mu Kun secretly reported that all the people Mu Long knew and who might have known had been carefully interrogated, and no suspicious people were found. Liu Pan reported that no one left the village without permission in three days. Just when Yang Hao was confused, a note suddenly appeared in the crack of the study door, which read: "The one who killed Mu Long is Fang Tang." The handwriting was exactly the same as the note that had been warned in the guest room before.

Yang Hao thought about it, smiled knowingly, and put the note aside and ignored it. Late at night on the second night, when Yang Hao was reading a military book at night, he suddenly reported Fang Tang to ask for a visit. Yang Hao put the note aside, took out two notes and played with it in his hands, deliberately let Fang Tang see it. When Fang Tang saw the two notes, his expression became respectful.

Yang Hao suddenly asked, "Why do you want to kill Mu Long?"

Fang Tang was shocked and then bowed and replied: "I have to do this."

Yang Hao pointed to the chair beside him and signaled him to sit down and talk. Fang Tang hesitated for a while before he dared to sit sideways. Yang Hao cleared his throat and asked, "Are you from the Internal Investigation Bureau or the Internal Regulations Bureau?"

Under Nei Temple, there are two posts, two bureaus, and two departments. Xuanyi whistle guard stations and defend the city gates; Feiyi whistle is responsible for the security of important figures such as Yang Hao; the Internal Investigation Bureau and the Internal Investigation Bureau are responsible for internal monitoring. The difference is that the Internal Investigation Bureau is responsible for monitoring military and political officials in Fengzhou, while the Internal Investigation Bureau is responsible for monitoring social groups and individuals; the Internal Investigation Department is responsible for logistical support; and the Administrative Department is responsible for internal control and personnel.

"I am the official of the Internal Investigation Bureau." Fang Tang said this and his eyes turned red.

Yang Hao nodded and sighed. Neisifang was his right-hand man to control Fengzhou's military and political affairs, but he was also jealous of all parties, especially the Internal Investigation Bureau. In the eyes of Fengzhou military and political officials, they were simply thorns in their eyes, and they wanted to get rid of them quickly. So even when Yang Hao was in power, the Internal Investigation Bureau's life in Fengzhou was difficult. Their subordinates often had unclear and corpses on the streets or disappeared without a trace.

After he fell into trouble, Nei Temple was brutally cleaned, and Zhu Qi was sentenced to Lingchi, Mu Li and other seven major seals were also convicted and imprisoned. All personnel from the Internal Investigation Bureau and the Internal Department were directly sent to prison without trial. There were seven or eight out of ten people who died, especially the Internal Investigation Bureau. There were no survivors and almost the entire army was destroyed.

"You have suffered these days." Yang Hao said sadly.

Hearing this, Fang Tang burst into tears. He choked and said, "I feel sorry for hundreds of brothers who died of misfortune. The general wants to avenge them." After that, he knelt down on the ground with a "thump", hugged Yang Hao's legs forward, and burst into tears. Yang Hao was so confused that he cried. After finally calming down and helped him up. He asked him again, "Is someone instructing you to kill her?"

Fang Tang nodded and admitted: "I am guilty of my subordinates. Please ask the general to punish me."

"She is just a little girl who has never seen the world. How can she kill her?" Yang Hao said sadly.

"Although she is an ordinary girl, she is involved in a big event." Fang Tang wiped his tears, raised his head, and showed a capable look.

"What's the big deal?" Yang Hao was shocked and stared at Fang Tang and asked, "Tell me carefully, what's the big deal?"

Fang Tang calmed down and replied: "When he was in the internal investigation bureau, he was sent to the Central Sushoucheng businessman. When the general was in trouble, his subordinates were investigating a corruption case in Wuliuwan. General Zhu Kong warned his subordinates, and then he escaped. After that, he came to the territory of Khitan and was captured by Wuwei and turned into a horse slave. Last winter, Wukui Daxiang accidentally broke his calf while hunting. Wuwei's divine witch jumped around him for a few days and the great god had no effect at all. His subordinates were proficient in medical skills and cured his legs, so he trusted me. This spring, he sent me to sneak into Xiaocang Mountain, as his inner supporter, and sooner or later he would capture Xiaocang Mountain."

Yang Hao asked: "Why did he take Xiaocang Mountain? It was also to control the trade route?"

Fang Tang replied: "The people of Wuwei only know how to raise horses but not business. The reason why Wukui Daxiang wanted to seize Xiaocang Mountain was that he did not want to find an excuse for Tuju troops to beat him. Tuju Man Lei was ambitious and had long coveted the throne of Yu Yue. However, Wukui Daxiang's qualifications and reputation were far above him. If Man Lei wanted to get his wish, he could only defeat Wuwei and force Wukui Daxiang to take the initiative to give way. He now needs to find a reason to send troops to advance east."

Speaking of this, Yang Hao had already understood the relationship. The Wusugu people surrendered to the Tuju tribe, paid taxes and presented tributes to him. When the Wusugu people had a dispute with the outside world, the Tuju tribe had the responsibility to send troops to protect him. Mu Long was in his own hands, and he could instruct Wusugu to send troops to Xiaocang Mountain. At that time, he would send troops eastward to Wuwei in the name of protecting his subordinates, and then provoke trouble and force Wukui Daxiang to surrender from the position of Yue by force.

Wukui Daxiang did not want to let Chu Juman Lei have such an excuse, so he instructed Fang Tang to kill Mu Long. The eight Khitan tribes once swore together: No tribe may be involved in foreign tribes' revenge without the consent of the General Assembly. Mu Long died in Xiaocang Mountain, and the Wusugu people could raise troops to seek revenge on Xiaocang Mountain, but Chu Ju's troops sent troops to help again without reason, otherwise they would violate the oath of the alliance, and the person who was against the alliance was naturally not qualified to be Yu Yue.

The Diesh tribe who is in power now, whether it is the Yaonian tribe who controls the Khan's position or the Yelu tribe who holds military power, is deeply wary of the ambitious Tuju tribe. They will never allow the Tuju tribe to have the opportunity to strengthen themselves.
