The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 12 The Broken Jade Building

There is no curfew in the city of Tokyo, and there is a lot of noise the night before, and it slowly calms down the night after.

The Suiyu Tower is located near the Zhuque Gate where the inner city and the outer city meet. There is a street here called Zhuque Street.

This is not the kind of place where you can eat, drink and have fun in Panlou Street Market. It's all shops that do business that don't stay up late.

It was nearly midnight now, and there were no shops open on either side of the street, only those red lanterns flickering, and watchmen passing by knocking on their clappers every now and then.

As for the imperial guards on night patrol, none of them were seen.

According to their duties, the Dianqian Division is responsible for patrolling the imperial city, and the Guards and Army Division is responsible for patrolling the inner and outer cities. Right now, there is no one here, but the Guards and Army Division is negligent.

Zhao Tun was sitting by the window on the third floor of Suiyu Building. There was a table in front of him with a jug and a few side dishes on it. He filled a glass of wine for himself and said, "Drink a glass of wine with a smile. In the night market of killing people, Zhu Commander, what do you think?"

There is a man in armor next to the table, who is the patrol commander of the inner city tonight.

Commander Zhu was already trembling. How did he know that the Broken Jade Building belonged to Zhao Tun. Earlier, one of the leaders below sent a big gift, saying that the Qixing Society would open a fighting field near here. For a moment, he didn't take it seriously. After all, this kind of thing is an unwritten unwritten rule in Tokyo. Isn't it just a fight in the rivers and lakes? It's not sabotage and rebellion. At most, it will disturb the people. , It is also impossible to report to the official.

"Commander Zhu, do you know what the charge is for withdrawing patrol and disarming?" Zhao Tang asked after drinking a glass of wine.

Commander Zhu fell to his knees with a "plop" and said, "My lord, please forgive me. The subordinates don't know about this at all. This must have been done by the leaders below without authorization. This crime deserves death!"

"What did Dutou do?" Zhao Tang turned cold and looked at him: "Is it a crime worthy of death? If it is a wartime, it is a great crime to punish the nine clans!"

"My lord, spare me!" Commander Zhu broke out in cold sweat instantly. This was a matter of fact at first glance, and he couldn't think of anything else to say except begging for mercy.

There are quite a few people standing on the third floor at this moment, besides Su Shi, Huang Gu, Lu Zhishen, Hong Qi was also called by Zhao Tun, and there are more than a dozen other people, these dozens of people are either holding or carrying guns and sticks Pu Dao, besides this, there is a woman in white.

The woman in white was covered with a light veil, her eyes were indifferent, her figure was extremely slender, and she held a long sword upside down in her jade hand, as if she stood out from the crowd.

Zhao Tong looked at Commander Zhu and said, "I don't want to listen to lies."

Commander Zhu wanted to cry, so he had no choice but to come forward and bribe all the generals, and told them all about the midnight fight for the Qixinghui.

After hearing this, Zhao Tun stroked the wine glass lightly and said, "How much did you charge?"

Zhu commanded: "One... 1000 taels."

Zhao Tun nodded: "Do you have any family?"

Commander Zhu rested his hands on the ground and said tremblingly, "There are old mothers, wives and children under my command."

Zhao Tang thought for a while: "If you kill you, the old mother will have no one to care for, and the children will have no one to care for, it will be considered a bad thing."

Commander Zhu almost burst into tears when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "My lord is sorry, please forgive this subordinate, and my subordinate is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the lord."

Zhao Tong said: "I don't want to do evil things, and I don't want to lose my military discipline. Why don't I kill them all and let the old mother, wife and children go with you, so that you won't worry about what's going on behind you, would that be good?"

Commander Zhu's face turned pale when he heard the words, his throat rolled a few times, and he rolled his eyes and passed out on the ground.

Lu Zhishen said at the side: "The Imperial Guards in Gyeonggi are too useless, how can they pass out after being frightened?"

Zhao Tuo looked at Lu Zhishen and said, "Zhishen, you can also see, how does the Tokyo Imperial Army compare with the Western Army?"

Lu Zhishen said: "It's not that I boast Haikou in front of the prince, if everyone is like this generation who is afraid of death, the Western Army may be able to defeat five with one!"

"Monk Wuna is not boastful, how can fighting in the rivers and lakes be like fighting on the battlefield, how can it be possible for ordinary soldiers to fight five against one?" Someone spoke at this time, but it was a hero in Suiyulou, called a gust of wind Ouyang Bei.

Lu Zhi took a deep look at Ouyang Bei, and said: "Look at you, you have never been in the army, and the Sajia are too lazy to argue with you!"

Ouyang Bei was a man with a scorched skin, but he was not annoyed when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "It sounds like you have been in the army, but why did you become a monk?"

Lu Zhishen said: "Why do you ask? The Sajia was originally an old-fashioned manager of economic strategy, and the five-way official visit to Guanxi, so why don't you know about military affairs!"

Ouyang Bei was stunned, he didn't know these official names, but he just kept silent when they sounded big.

Huang Gu said: "I have heard of such official names, but it is only a certain route, and it is designated by the official. Where did the five routes come from?"

Zhao Tong shook his head and said: "Zhishen is not a liar, but you don't know that, he is a temporary official in the Western Army, not a fixed position, unlike those in the court, the old ones have The right to set up such official duties."

Everyone nodded when they heard the words, secretly thinking in their hearts how powerful the old businessman is!
At this time, the downstairs was already bustling, and people started to enter from both sides of the street, all of them were holding guns and sticks, with fierce faces, wearing black clothes, and the seven-star logo was embroidered on the cuffs.

Zhao Tun glanced slightly, and said, "That's right, there are hundreds of people, can the people in the building below stand up to it?"

Su Shi said: "Little Master, why don't you use soldiers in the army?"

Zhao Tong said: "The rivers and lakes are the affairs of the rivers and lakes. In Suiyulou, we must abide by the rules here. Naturally, it is too late to break the rules."

Huang Gu said: "If it's those mobs, as long as they don't resort to any indiscriminate methods, they should be able to resist, but the Seven Stars will clearly have seven strongest people, if all seven are present, I'm afraid the building will not be safe tonight. "

"Oh... what skills do those seven people have?" Zhao Tuo wondered.

"They are all first-rate players, but each has their own methods." Huang Gu said.

Zhao Tong thought for a while: "Apart from the manpower sent to other places, how many people in the building can fight?"

Huang Gu said: "There are more than 100 people below, but they are not comparable to those of the Seven Stars."

Zhao Tong nodded: "Isn't this just one against five? Su Yi and Hong Qi stay behind, and everyone else goes downstairs to fight. Don't hold back your hands. If you bite them, you will remember it better next time!"

Then Zhao Tang said to Lu Zhishen again: "Zhishen, you are from the Western Army. Although it is a battle in the rivers and lakes, don't let the reputation of the Western Army fall. If you win, you will have wine, and if you lose, you will be punished!"

Lu Zhishen said: "My lord, don't worry, Zhishen's wine is sure to be eaten!"

Zhao Tong chuckled, watching everyone from the upstairs file down, his face gradually turned solemn, he called Hong Qi to watch the battle from the window, and then said to the woman in white who hadn't come downstairs: "Su Yi, how did the investigation go?"

The white-clothed veiled woman is called Jian Suyi, who was born in the general family. In the early years, her ancestors failed to suppress the rebellion in the south and affected their families. Since then, they have been living in the rivers and lakes. However, they also worshiped famous teachers and learned martial arts well.

Hearing Zhao Tun's inquiry at this moment, Jian Suyi said: "My lord, it's been found out, it's Ghost Fanlou!"
