?The Anzhou army defeated the imperial army of the imperial court at Lianghekou. On the second day of the victory, the city was filled with joy.

At the residence of Xiyang County Duke, the shopkeeper Liu Caiyun boarded a four-wheeled carriage and then left the residence. Under the escort of more than ten riders, he drove to a certain place in the city.

The carriage was slowly moving forward on the bluestone pavement. Liu Caiyun sat in the carriage and frowned. Yesterday, she received news from her partner Chen Guo merchant Wang Yue that she had something to do and pay the payment for the glass mirror. The two parties were scheduled to meet at the location designated by Liu Caiyun this morning.

Liu Caiyun felt that things were a bit tricky. The other party had problems but he had to take risks and meet him.

Langzhu Yuwen Wen once quoted a philosopher named Ma in the extreme west: If capital has 50% profit, it will take risks. If it has 100% profit, it will dare to trample on all laws in the world. If it has 300% profit, it will dare to commit any crime, or even risk being hanged.

The glass mirror is 100% profitable when it is a businessman, and he wants to steal the production process of the glass mirror. The reason why it is calm now is because the manager Liu’s Dongjia Xiyang County is the second son of Yuwen Liang, the general manager of Anzhou, so many wealthy merchants have tolerated it until now.

Seeing that glass mirrors made countless money in half a year, it seemed that the big businessmen could no longer help but start to take action.

When the Chen businessman Wang Yue wrapped the source of goods in Jiangnan with glass mirrors, he became the target of various wealthy merchants. As for how Wang Yue returned to Jiankang alive after leaving the Anzhou territory, it was his business. For Liu Caiyun, it was the top priority for him and Hu Sanzi, Zhang Yiman should not be caught by others.

Wang Yue went against the norm and delayed the appointment for nearly two months before he made an appointment, which shows that things have changed in the middle. Either Wang Yue's boss had thoughts or another wealthy businessman had thoughts. Even if Wang Yue, who had made an appointment with her today, was still doubtful.

According to the practice of the previous few months, Wang Yue should go to the Xiyang County Duke's mansion to trade. This time, because the Langzhu Yuwen Wen led his troops outside and was inconvenient for people to come to the house, he could only choose a place outside the mansion to meet.

"I hope there is no mistake." Liu Caiyun murmured worriedly.

The carriage turned a corner from the bustling main road and entered a street. After walking about seventy or eighty steps, fishing nets suddenly dropped from both sides of the road, cage the guards in the net and could not move. A group of masked people rushed out of the roadside room while shooting the guards with crossbow arrows while rushing towards the carriage.

They were so close that they pulled out daggers and stabbed them on the guard mount. The horses were restless and restless, and they threw the owner on their backs off. The groom who was driving was chopped and pulled down with a knife. Two masked men rushed to the side of the carriage, pulling the door left and right to pull the door open, but they didn't move at all.

The masked man who followed him was not vague and took the door with an axe and was about to crawl in to catch people, but a white mist hit them in the face, causing them to roll all over the ground.

The guards who were trapped in the fishing nets and arrows drew their swords and cut the fishing nets and climbed up from the ground to slash at the masked man who attacked them. The masked man who thought the other party was dead was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.

A burly masked man led several subordinates to rush into the carriage but was shot to the ground by the archer who suddenly appeared inside. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining people turned around and wanted to run, but were shot by him with a bead arrow and dragged his legs without running far. They were all pressed to the ground by the guards.

The guards had practiced some skills and tied the masked people with their hands and slammed their mouths and threw them on the carriages that followed. In a moment, the masked people who attacked the convoy were all packed by the carriages regardless of their life or death.

"What's going on!"

Upon hearing the news, a group of soldiers rushed over along the street. The generals who were in charge shouted loudly when they saw the mess. The bloodshed occurred in the open sky in Anzhou Prefecture, which made him lose his face.

The archer who shot the masked man with a continuous pearl arrow and showed his waist sign: "In Zhang Dingfa, the leader of the escort of the Duke of Xiyang County, he was attacked by the carriage just now, so the scene was a bit ugly."

The generals were shocked when they were attacked by the Duke of Xiyang County, and their faces were pale. They quickly asked about their well-being. Duke of Xiyang County, Yuwen Wen, was the second son of the general manager Yuwen Liang, Zai'an, Xiang and Huang, the ground of the three prefectures of the three noble status. What about the female family members in the family who were attacked? Anlu wanted people to fall to the ground.

"Captain Zhang, what about the casualties in the mansion? I have hundreds of brothers here to capture the madmen who attacked the convoy!"

Zhang Dingfa looked back at his guards behind him and saw them nodding to him and then smiled and explained to the generals of the city patrol that there were some goods on the carriage that did not hurt anyone, but the murderer who attacked the carriage was probably having some holidays with the county duke's mansion, so he wanted to lock up and wait for the man to come back to deal with it.

"Brothers are sweating all the way, so I have to ask you guys to drink." Zhang Dingfa smiled and stuffed a string of money into the general's hand.

The man took the money without a trace and smiled on his face became stronger and stronger. The general manager had already said hello and asked him to deal with the assassin when he encountered this situation. Whether it was attacking the outside or attacking the mansion, all those who attacked the mansion of Xiyang County were dealt with.

Of course, if the other party asks for help from the government, they will be arrested and severely questioned. If the other party makes trouble, they will be treated as invisible. If the other party says whatever the other party says, it will be said that nothing happened, then everyone will think that nothing happened.

After sending the city patrol officers and soldiers away, Zhang Dingfa waved to a guard to approach him: "What is the casualties?"

"Back to Leader Zhang, the bastards must be full of their tails!"

"You really do it?" Zhang Ding laughed and cursed, then walked towards the carriage, "Is it okay if Zhang Laoliu, who was driving the carriage, was just chopped by someone?"

"It's okay, Brother Zhang, the armor on this body is so strong!" The driver who was attacked and cut down actually stood up again, and a big hole was cut on the chest of his clothes and exposed the dark armor inside.

More than a dozen more guards rushed from the other side of the street to stop in front of Zhang Dingfa: "Captain, no one ran away from the ambush in the street here!"

"Very good, take people away with me!"

Liu Caiyun got off the carriage that he had been attacked before and walked to Zhang Dingfa. He looked at the carriages containing assassins and frowned and asked, "Will there be other fish that missed the net?"

Zhang Dingfa patted his wife on the shoulder and looked at her and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, no one can escape!"

......

The residence of Xiyang County Duke was closed, and the atmosphere was tense inside the mansion. The guards all patroled around with their swords.

In the backyard, the wife of Xiyang County Duke Yuchi Chifan, wearing a loose dress and a big belly, was lying on the recliner, knitting a small sweater, while Yang Lihua sat on the side room, combing the accounts in the mansion, while Cuiyun and Annu were serving the two ladies.

A wet nurse was sitting behind the two ladies holding a baby boy in a cradle and coaxing her to her side and surrounded her maids. The baby boy was the eldest son, Xiaoming Ge, born to Yuwen Wen by Yang Lihua in early June.

On that day, Yuwen Wen had a son and his mind was so muddy that he had a muddle. Although his son's official name didn't need to be immediately given, he had a nickname, but the seemingly simple nickname made him stumped.

In this era, the popular use of Buddhist or Taoist nouns for children. Yuwen Wen is familiar with Taoist nouns, such as "common" qi refining, foundation building, elixir formation, Nascent Soul, Transforming God, Mahayana, etc., and naturally he cannot use Buddhist nouns.

Because there was a magpies falling in the mansion when he was born, he took the word "magpies" according to the magpies' good news. As for the very popular nickname nowadays, he still didn't use it but used "Brother". So after holding it in for a long time, he thought of a nickname: Magma.

Outside the courtyard, Lin Youdi and several servants were guarding the door with swords and guns. Fu Youcai, the deputy leader of the guard, also wearing armor, followed the butler Li Sanjiu through Lin Youdi and others into the backyard to inform his wife Yuchi. Zhang Dingfa and Liu Caiyun also came one after another soon.

"Are Manager Liu injured? How are the casualties of the guards?" Yuchi Chifan put down his sweater and turned around and asked. Yang Lihua also put down the account book and looked at the backbone in front of him.

"Report to my wife, my family is safe and sound." Liu Caiyun smiled faintly.

"Report to Madam, the guards were prepared for a long time, so although they were injured, no one died." Zhang Dingfa thought about it and added: "The assassins and their eyes and ears were all caught in one go, next..."

"Captain Zhang, the matters that follow will be done by you and Deputy Chief Fu, and there is no need to disturb the wife." The housekeeper Li Sanjiu interrupted Zhang Dingfa with his words. The next thing was "unbearable". He knew that the man-in-law did not want the wife to ginseng and such things.

Li Sanjiu's mind was still echoing: "If you have Sanjiu, just accompany me to do something shameful, there is no need for Madam to have too much contact."

"Butler Li is right. The next thing Zhang and Fu Youcai will do is leave the final result at Sanjiu after you have the result. The specific matter will be handled when the county duke comes back." Yuchi Chifan made a decision without hesitation. She thought that the children who are about to come to the world are not in the mood to inquire about such shameful things.

Previously, Zhang Dingfa and Li Sanjiu came to report that someone had set up a trap to capture Liu Caiyun, which made Yuchi Chifan worried. His husband led his troops outside as the hostess. The burden on her was very heavy on her face. For such a serious threat to her fundamentals, she had to make a quick decision.

If the other party really wants to capture Liu Caiyun, the purpose is very simple: to ask about the making process of glass mirrors. Yuchi Chifan, the biggest source of income, knows that it is of great importance, so it must be dealt with properly.

Of course, it may be a real deal, but whether it is or not, it must be resolved. The so-called "only catching thieves for a thousand days is not the reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days." More than one person who covet the glass mirror technology is to guard against each other every day, but it is hard to defend against them. So she summoned the backbone of the mansion to discuss countermeasures and decided to lead the snake out of the hole.

The specific planning and operation command was led by the head of the mansion guard, Zhang Dingfa, the former leader of the horse bandit, and the bait that led the snake was his wife Liu Caiyun. As a former "little expert in robbing and robbing", Zhang Dingfa might use the strategy that the other party might use was Men Qing.

In order to prevent the other party from rushing to the east and attacking the "Lair" Zhang Dingfa specially strengthened the defense of the mansion, Li Sanjiu, as the housekeeper, personally supervised the servants to avoid the spread of news that made people in the mansion panic.

Lin Youdi led the subordinates of the "Machinery Department" to hold sharp edges in the backyard, for fear of catching fish in troubled waters and attacking the female family in the backyard. It is said that privately hiding armor is like a conspiracy to rebel, but who dares to put armor in the mansion of Yuwen Liang, the son of the Anzhou area?

Yuchi Chifan was relieved to see that the backbone had already made things orderly. During the period when his husband was not in the mansion, he had nothing to worry about with these people to help her. As the date of delivery was getting closer, she decided to delegate power.

"From tomorrow, Mrs. Fang will be responsible for all the money and grain accounts in the mansion, and all other rules will be the same."
