Chapter 2 Deceiving Too Much

The capital city Liren City is the western market during the Tang Dynasty. It covers an area of ​​two square meters. It has inner city walls surrounded by many residences and shops in the city, with a wide range of goods and extremely prosperous trade. There are also Hu merchants' treasure shops and Persian residences. It is the most prosperous market in the capital and even the entire Sui Dynasty. Various shops gather together according to major categories, called "xing", such as rice shops, silk shops, cloth shops, mule and horse shops, etc.

The horses are located in the northwest corner, close to the release pond, and have thirty or forty horse shops. Most of the time, they only sell driving horses. It is difficult for good war horses to appear. Generally, war horses will be monopolized by the army, or they will be sold out halfway through the journey to the capital. The Sui Dynasty's martial arts style is booming. Many martial arts practitioners hope to have a good horse, but there are not many opportunities to get a good horse. Often, a good horse will appear, which will attract dozens of people to compete.

At this time, the horses were boiling, and more than 150 best war horses suddenly appeared on the street, which caused a sensation in all shops. I heard that they were selling horses. Various shops flocked out and rushed to grab these war horses. They were all experts. When they saw that these war horses were all top Turkic horses from the grassland. If it had nothing to do with the grassland, the Turks would not sell them at all.

This surprised and delighted Combas and others. The price had increased five times, far exceeding their expectations. Uncle Su Wu had experience. He immediately called everyone, "These horses should be sold in groups of five, and whoever paid the highest price would be sold to whom!"

This method is good, and Fat Fish immediately shouted excitedly: "Now you don't sell one, so everyone buys it according to the price."

"I bought all these horses!"

Someone shouted, and the street suddenly became quiet. A group of people walked in front of him, about fifty or sixty, all wearing black servant clothes. The leader was a man in brocade robe, wearing a golden crown on his head, burly figure, with a fleshy face, and a cold look, which made people feel frightened. He rode on his horse, holding a wolf-toothed spear in his hand.

Everyone was obviously a little afraid of this group of people, so they retreated one after another and did not dare to fight for horses. Uncle Su Wu knew this group of people, and he secretly complained in his heart that there have always been four hegemons in the capital, among which the first hegemon, Mr. Liu, had been killed seven years ago, and there were three hegemons left.

The three tyrants in the capital are all children of powerful men in the court, and they are even royal families. For example, the number one tyrant in the capital is the second son of Prince Yang Guang, the king of Yuzhang, Yang Ming. He bullies men and women and robs the people, and is abusive and hates them to the extreme.

The second dominance is Yu Wenshu. He relied on the power of his father Yu Wenshu to extort, seize and gain a reputation.

The group of people in front of me are the third one among the three kings of the capital, He Ruo Sanhu, who is He Ruobi's three sons. This man in brocade robe is the second son He Ruojin.

It turns out that the three tigers of the He Ruo family are also powerful bullies who cannot be provoked, and even once killed people in the street. However, since the prince Yang Yong was deposed four years ago, He Ruobi was implicated because he stood in the wrong team and supported Prince Yang Yong. Although he was not accused of his crime, he has been marginalized. In the past two years, He Ruobi has been relatively low-key.

He Ruosanhu no longer had the arrogance he used to be, but the power of his life was still there, and they were still very strong. He did not allow others to compete with them. At this time, they took a look at these horses at first sight.

He Ruojin brought his servants to the horse market to buy horses, preparing to use it as patrol by Zhuang Ding, but most of the horses in the horse market were slow horses, which disappointed him. Just as he was about to leave, a group of horses suddenly came from the street, and from a distance, he could see that the horses were extraordinary, which made his eyes lit up.

He Ruojin was very skilled in martial arts and had eyesight for war horses. He turned over and got off the horses, walked up and patted the horses. Each of them had strong limbs, smooth fur, and no mixed fur. They were all on war horses. He secretly praised in his heart that there were so many good horses, and he decided to take them all.

"Who are the horse owners?" He glanced at Combas, Fat Fish and others.

Fat Fish hated him for being a strong attitude, so she ignored him. Combas was a little more honest and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "These horses are sold by us."

He Ruojin looked at him and saw that he was wearing the military uniform of the Frontier Army and was a Sogdian. He looked down on him a little bit and said coldly: "I have bought all these horses, you can offer a price!"

Fat fish said angrily: "We won't sell these horses!"

Combas quickly stopped him. He was a little older and had seen the world in business. When he saw that the shopkeepers of the horse shop were obviously afraid of this person. Uncle Su Wu didn't even dare to say anything, he knew that this person was not easy to mess with. He didn't want to cause trouble, so he said, "These horses are 200 yuan per horse."

Their capital was 60 yuan per horse, and this was the Turks who sold them to them at the price of a horse because of Yang Yuanqing's face. If they had not had 60 yuan, the Turks would not sell them at all. They traveled thousands of miles to the capital and had to hire people and consume fodder along the way. Two hundred yuan per horse was definitely not high. Kangbas did not want to cause trouble, so he decided to sell them three times the price according to the original plan.

He Ruojin's face sank, "How can there be such an expensive horse? I'll buy all of them with fifty horses."

The horses who are twenty years old in the horse store are more than fifty horses, and they are top-notch war horses. The price they sell to customers at the horse store is 500 yuan per horse, and fifty yuan per horse. This is obviously a robbery.

Combass's face changed drastically, and he immediately shook his head, "Not selling for two hundred yuan, no less."

"Yeah?"

He Ruojin narrowed his eyes, "Several beggars and border troops dared to act wildly in the capital. It's crazy! It's so fucking crazy."

He suddenly shouted loudly: "You must be sold privately with the army, and you will take you to the official!"

He turned around and shouted, "Catch them all."

Yuchi Wan and Fat Fish were furious. They pulled out the knife at the same time and glared at everyone. Yuchi Wan gritted her teeth and said, "Who dares to come up? I will make him a ghost under the knife!"

He Ruojin had more than 60 subordinates, all of whom had masters who had practiced martial arts. How could he take these three people seriously? He shouted, "Take them down for me. If you resist, kill them, I will bear everything!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, there were only three of them, and they could not beat the group of people at all. He pushed them away, "Go and find the general, I will deal with it here."

Uncle Su Wu knew that these bullies were using excuses to arrest people and meet officials. If they were arrested into He Ruo's mansion, they would not know how they died. He also said anxiously: "Don't be stupid, run with me!"

At this time, He Ruojin rushed up and punched him suddenly. Conbas was caught off guard and was knocked over to the ground. He Ruojin stepped on Conbas' neck with his feet. He waved his wolf-toothed spear, "These people are Turkic spies, arrest me!"

Yuchi Wan and Fat Fish's eyes were red, and Combas shouted on the ground: "You run quickly, if you don't leave, we will all be dead."

The fat fish gritted her teeth, "Yuchi, let's go!"

They urged the horse to run wildly, and heard the fat fish shouting from afar: "You bastards, when our general comes, you will cry!"

He Ruojin was extremely proud and laughed. All these good horses belonged to him, but he wanted to question who the general of these people were. He waved his hand and "bring all the people and horses back to the house."

The servants tied up Combass on the horse's back, pulled the horse's reins and left. Everyone in the horse shop around sighed secretly, and they happened to meet He Ruosanhu, and they were too lucky.



















Yang Yuanqing had been invited into the room by his clan uncle Yang Xuanting. Yang Xuanting was the son of Yang Su's brother Yang Yue and had always been in charge of the Yang family's power. He was amazed when he saw that Yang Yuanqing had not seen him for five years and was so tall that he was so amazed. As the head of the family Yang Su said, the Yang family had another pillar of talent.

Yang Yuanqing had no intention of greeting him and asked straight to him, "Please tell me why my house was burned, where did my aunt and sister go?"

Yang Xuanting knew that he would ask about this, and he felt guilty in his heart. Yang Xuanting sighed and said, "I have a responsibility to talk about it. I found out it too late. The fire broke out at night. I brought people to the scene. The fire had swallowed the house. Yuan Qing, do you still remember the incident of your grandmother?"

Yang Yuanqing understood that he was talking about He Ruoyun Niang, and he was stunned. Could it be related to that matter?

"I still remember that very clearly. Does the burning of the house have anything to do with it?"

Yang Xuanting nodded, "It has a direct relationship with that matter."

He also showed anger in his eyes, "I thought this matter was over, but I didn't expect that He Ruoyun Niang kept holding a grudge. In the second year when you left home and joined the army, the head of the family followed the prince to lead the army to fight north. He Ruoyun Niang took advantage of this opportunity to force the He Ruo family to take action, forcing your aunt and sister away, and burn the house. After I got the news, I went around looking for them, but I could no longer find them. I also sent someone to the Shen family in Jiangnan, but I didn't find them."

"Bang!" Yang Yuanqing smashed the table hard, and the teacup on the table jumped up and broke to the ground. Aunt and Niu Niu can do martial arts. It's not as simple as forcing them to leave. They must have used force. Has it hurt them when they acted at night?

Yang Xuanting quickly persuaded him, "Yuan Qing, you have to calm down. Now is not the time to act voluntarily."

Yang Yuanqing restrained his anger and asked coldly: "Is He Ruoyun Niang here? I'll ask her if she wants someone."

Yang Xuanting smiled bitterly, "He Ruoyun Niang died of illness last year, so it can be said that she will be punished again and again."

"The matter is not over. I'll go find the He Ruo family to ask for someone!" Yang Yuanqing's eyes were filled with coldness.

Yang Xuan was very anxious, "Yuanqing, don't worry about this matter at this moment. Wait until your grandfather comes back and let him make a decision. After all, it's the He Ruo family, and you will cause trouble for your grandfather."

Yang Yuanqing sneered coldly, "After so many years, my grandfather has been hiding it from me, or he has never taken them to heart. He is the dignified Shangshu Youpushe. If he is willing, can he not find anyone? Uncle Six, one is my adoptive mother and the other is my sister. I know how to solve this problem. I will not be reckless, but I will never swallow my anger."

"But...."

Yang Xuanting sighed, "But the He Ruo family is not easy to mess with. He Ruo Sanhu is famous for being strong in the capital. You will suffer a great loss."

Yang Yuanqing let out a 'dong!' and put a heavy cloth bag on the table and strode out. Yang Xuan was stunned, "Yuan Qing, what is this?"

Yang Yuanqing's voice came from afar, "That's the head of the Western Turkic Datou Khan. I've hunted it from 20,000 troops. Can they?"
