Chapter 64 Liu Taozhi
? "Liu Taozhi?" Yuwen Wen felt a little familiar when he heard this name. After recalling it for a moment, he finally remembered this historical figure: Liu Taozhi, the number one killer or executioner in the Northern Qi Dynasty, had an unknown date of birth and death. Reading at Zero o'clock
He was the prime minister of the Eastern Wei and founder of the Northern Qi Dynasty, "Cangtou" when Gao Huan started his career, which was a private soldier of the family slaves. He served countless kings of the Northern Qi Dynasty, including Gao Huan, Gao Cheng, Gao Yang, Gao Yan, Gao Zhan, Gao Wei, and other kings of the Northern Qi Dynasty who died under his sword.
Liu Taozhi's characteristic is who listens to the throne, so no matter how many masters he changes, they will stand firm. Every time the throne of Northern Qi is replaced, it is very bloody, but Liu Taozhi is reused by the new master based on this position.
"Brother thinks that what is the boss of Ye Xiao, Liu Taozhi, took over the assassination business?" Yuwen Wen was a little disbelief. The so-called "treat the tree fell and the money was scattered. If the people of Ye Xiao were gone, they might just be a few members forming a team to "take orders".
Seeing Yu Wenming, he was not sure, he continued, "I heard that Liu Taozhi was later named Wang since the demise of Qi four years ago. He was either destroyed by his enemies or he had his life savings to hide his name and support him. He would return to the world unless he was confused."
Liu Taozhi can survive several emperors under the tyrannical Gao family by relying on smooth and flexible methods. Such people can have the opportunity to retire and spend the rest of their lives without thinking about "making use of their remaining heat" and licking blood on the tip of the knife.
Yu Wenming expressed his opinion: "In the late Qi State, he was a general title of king, a hawker, or a thug whom the emperor could favor, could be a king. When Liu Taozhi was named king, he was no longer famous. There were many enemies who had served Gao for decades and wanted to take revenge."
He believed that Liu Taozhi might be dependent on a powerful or aristocratic family in order to avoid his enemies, so doing something for the new owner would be inevitable. If Liu Taozhi led Ye Xiao to join which company, then the one who could afford the price would not be ordinary people.
Yuwen Wen thought about it and looked solemn: "Brother is he guessing that it might be Yang Jian who hired these people? Maybe he will come to deal with me in the future?"
He felt a little incredible. Judging from history, Yang Jian was very suspicious after ascending the throne. In the middle and late stages, many veterans from the dragon were killed for various reasons, but most of them were "pulled out and chopped" or "keep your body without thanking you". There was never a rumor similar to Yong Zheng's assassination of his ministers with "blood droplets".
However, this era has begun to change due to its own arrival, and it is possible that Yang Jian will make no decisions in his indifference.
Yu Wenming felt that it might be true, but there was still no conclusive evidence: "Maybe, it might be hired by Xinzhou General Administration or Liuzhuang."
Under the Xinzhou General Administration, the states were in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Yuwen Wen felt that Ye Xiao from the north was full and ran here to take on work, which was not as convenient as he was to join the "Eastern Zhou" court with Yecheng as his capital.
However, Yuchi Jiong, the Duke of Shu, may not have been able to see these dogs. So the biggest possibility is that a family of Yang Jian hired them. Of course, Liu Taozhi may not be involved in it, and may be some old members, but Yuwen Wen believes that if Liu Taozhi is still alive, he will definitely not get involved in this kind of thing again.
"Then brother should be careful. As the saying goes, 'I'm not afraid of thieves not coming, but I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it. As the head coach, you should be more careful." Yuwen Wen took the initiative. He knew that his brother had brought him here and said a lot of things to beat him.
"I'm talking about you! Otherwise, why did you say a lot of things? You will be flirting with a few followers all day long in the city..."
Yuwen Wen was unhappy when he heard this. He had never been flirting with flowers in the city. His brother said this as if he was that evil young man and a few servants were in broad daylight to tease the young lady in the street, but he would die of his own deeds. He was a young man who "eliminated the harm for the people" and finally "spun the streets".
"I still said no!" Yu Wenming scolded in a low voice. He looked outside and resisted the urge to poke his brother's head and began to interrogate: "Where did you get the Princess Liang last night!"
Last night, Yu Wenming was in charge of the palace to command the rebellion. The royal family of Liang State was loyal to the imperial guards to protect him and was not disturbed by the rebellion. However, when counting the number of people, he found that there was a ninth princess missing. He heard from the palace maid who served the ninth princess that after the accident began, she disappeared in the bedroom.
Although the Ninth Princess returned to the palace only a few days ago, it was a royal bloodline, so Yu Wenming mobilized the soldiers to search every corner of the palace. After struggling for a long time, he ended up being "no one to die but no corpse". Everyone thought that the Ninth Princess, who had a miserable life, killed the rioters, but didn't know where to throw the corpse. However, Yu Wenming always felt that this matter had a lot to do with his younger brother.
Yuwen Wen heard that his brother found out that something was wrong and did not hide it: "Miss Xiao thought that she had brought disaster to her Aye to her, so she hanged herself on the pavilion. At that time, I happened to come out of the tunnel and rushed to the Zhulin Hall and ran into it and rescued it."
"Then you will take the other person?" Yu Wenming looked at his younger brother helplessly. This kid was entangled with Miss Xiao all day long and didn't know what was going on. His younger brother and sister, who had been married for less than a year, was not satisfied and got a widow named Yang as a concubine. The concubine had just given birth to her nephew and had aroused another girl again.
Seeing that his younger brother was unwilling to comment, Yu Wenming was amused and laughed. Last night, his younger brother was anxious to lead troops into the palace to rescue him. This moved Yu Wenming, who was his brother, but unexpectedly, he was a unclean master. It seemed that the princess of Liang would be harmed sooner or later.
Yu Wenming glanced at his younger brother and sighed in his heart: Forget it, just treat it as Xiao Kui apologized for this absurd relationship. In the future, this cheap father-in-law and son-in-law will fight for it themselves...
"At the same time, what happened to your concubine Yang? Judging from the month of your nephew, he must have had a good time in Chang'an. Who is she?"
Yu Wenwen coughed dryly and then talked about it. Yu Wenming was too lazy to ask more questions when he saw this. The younger brothers thought he was thinking about the concubine. The two brothers walked out and Yu Wenming once again emphasized the importance of guarding against assassins and then they went to work on their own.
"The surname is Yang, a widow, and it is said that he is also carrying a little girl, Chang'an..." Yu Wenming murmured to himself. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and stood in a daze, "The Queen Mother?"
Did my younger brother bring the Queen Mother of the Zhou Dynasty, Yang Lihua, who was said to have died of illness, back home to be a concubine?
This picture is too beautiful, Yu Wenming couldn't imagine it, then shook his head and smiled and denied himself: "I thought too much, how could it be..."
......
"Liu Taozhi?" Yang Ji thought to himself after hearing Yu Wen Wen's words.
Seeing this, Yuwen Wen joked that he was scared. Yang Ji smiled and shook his head. As a "thousand-year-old demon", he probably knew Liu Taozhi's deeds, but he didn't care about it: it would be good if the betrayed dog could find a place to hide and spend the rest of his life.
"I'm sorry to say it bluntly. This Liu Taozhi is just a knife."
Yuwen Wen nodded when he heard the other party say this. Liu Taozhi is very famous because there are many kings, princes, generals and ministers who died under his knife, but he has a low evaluation of his "business ability": this guy is just a fox and a tiger's power!
As the saying goes, the king wants his ministers to die and his ministers have to die, so Liu Taozhi killed the people who were the emperors to kill. To put it bluntly, he is an executor and an executioner. The person who was killed knew that the disaster was coming could only cry bitterly. Either ask the emperor to give him a favor or curse the emperor for not being able to die well. Few people wanted to resist because it was useless.
Liu Taozhi is just a knife. He either takes the target's head in the heavy guard with amazing martial arts, or fights the opponent for hundreds of rounds to take his life. He basically kills the person who was sentenced to death by the emperor, playing the role of the small character who cuts people in "Come on, drag it down!"
No matter how disdainful he is, he has to face the facts. Yuwen Wen will not be so arrogant that he will not take the assassin seriously: "But this assassin is a troublesome, and I don't know when he was targeted and accidentally stabbed."
Sun Ce, the young overlord of the Three Kingdoms, was seriously injured by the assassin and died young. The dream of fighting for dominance also dissipated. The reason why Da Qiao Shou was really a widow was really a sin. Yuwen Wen did not want to follow Sun Ce's footsteps and died young, so he turned his beautiful wives and concubines in his family into vain. So he should pay attention to what he should pay attention to. The remaining remaining forces of Qi must be wary of it.
He couldn't help but think of the problems faced by the powerful departments after the Cold War ended in the original era: after the collapse of the Soviet Union, many veterans, special forces, and grassroots officers who had combat experience could not integrate into ordinary life without a partner of loyalty, so they chose to work hard.
Some people work hard to be bodyguards for black men, and thugs even simply turn into black men, some join mercenaries to kill people for money, and some participate in regional conflicts and become leaders of large and small military organizations trying to realize their ambitions.
Ye Xiao is a very cool name, but Yuwen Wen would not be scared at all. In this era without snipers, missiles, and remote bombs, the power of the so-called assassin is just that unnecessary.
After discussing for a while, the two decided to take the method of loosening the outside and tightening the inside. The establishment day made the guards nervous for two or three days, but they would relax after a long time. The so-called difficulty of preventing thieves for a thousand days is here.
"By the way, the little shaman Wuming of the little shaman in Piba Temple seems to be buried in some Niumu Temple?"
Yang Ji said that he was buried near Niumufu Temple in the north of Jiangling City. That day, Chen Jun rushed into the Piqua Temple to try to do evil things to the old abbot in the temple and annoyed the soldiers and were killed by random knives. That was when Yuwen Wen led the new army to land on the lakeside in the north.
That night, Yuwen Wen led his army to attack Jiangjinshu in the south. Because it was expected that Chen's army would come back the next day, he moved on a boat with the women in the temple in the early morning. Considering that the body of the old abbot would be destroyed by Chen's army to vent his anger, the little novice Wuming took his master to move with him.
The western part of Changhu is adjacent to the ancient temple Niumu Buddha Temple. Thinking that the Pimat Temple has been disrepaired and there are no monks, Yang Ji advised Wuming to bury the old abbot near Niumu Buddha Temple. First, someone was killed not far away. Someone took care of the Buddhist temple and buried it near the Buddhist temple. In the future, there were fellow disciples who could help prepare the tombs.
Yang Ji took Wuming to Niu Mufu Temple to negotiate related matters. The temple host was very easy to speak. With the help of Yang Ji and others, the old abbot was soon buried nearby, while Wuming built a thatched cottage to guard the tomb for the master who had raised him for more than ten years.
"In this way, you can also take a look at this little master when you go to Niumufu Temple in a few days."
‘Go to Niumu Buddha Temple? Should I take Miss Xiao to...’ Yang Ji smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that the person in front of him who didn’t usually go to the Buddhist temple at all and wanted to go to the temple now was to relieve Miss Xiao’s knot.
"What are you doing with a stinky face? Seeing that I was about to get jealous of the grass?" Yuwen Wen said in a narrow voice, "Have you never thought about getting married after you have been in this world for more than ten years?"
"Get a family?" Yang Ji murmured to himself. A beautiful figure that was dreamy in his mind. It was his wife who had been engaged to marry and had not yet passed away. In that turbulent era in the late Ming Dynasty, Jiannu invaded Shandong. After his fiancée saw that Cheng Po committed suicide for the full name, his heart was already dead.
Seeing Yang Ji's sad look, Yuwen sighed and then patted his shoulder: "Why do you have to do this?"
