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

Chapter 121
Wu Song led the way, and the team arrived in front of a mansion not long after.

Zhao Tun looked around on the horse, only focused on one house, saw the willows swaying in the spring breeze, the tender buds heralding the spring, and a branch of red apricot came out of the wall, but it was delicate and pretty.

He said: "Taishi Cai and the high eunuchs are always happy to adopt sons and daughters. They thought it would be beneficial to open a herbal medicine shop, but they didn't know that this small Yanggu County has mountains and rivers!"

Everyone didn't dare to speak, they just waited for his order, Zhao Tun nodded and said: "Surround this house, don't let anyone escape."

The five hundred dragon guards didn't know what they were going to do, they didn't show their faces, but their hearts were tight with excitement, as expected they had meat to eat with the second king, looking at this mansion, it is rare even among the wealthy households in Tokyo. Fortunately, the [-]th commander didn't come, otherwise, wouldn't it be cheaper for them.

There is a concierge in the Ximen Mansion. Although the gate tower dare not go overboard, it still looks tall. In front of the gate, a young man in black is sweeping the petals floating in the courtyard. Waist said hello, but one of the riders yelled to get out of the way, couldn't help saying "ahhh", dropped the broom and ran to the side.

That rider was the commander of the Ninth Battalion, this man was called Zhou Xiao, he was tall and tall, but let alone his martial arts skills, he still had some strength.

He rushed forward on horseback, slammed the iron gun in his hand, and then shouted "open", the two gates collapsed and flew straight into the courtyard, but although the gates opened, the gatehouse did not move.

Zhao Tang thought he was useless, and said: "If you add a few more people, they will all be pushed away!"

Several military envoys came up at the same time, exerting their strength together, the "bang" sound knocked down the gate of Ximen Mansion from top to bottom...

But he said that Ximenqing was at home today, and he was just waiting for the news from Pan Jinlian, but he waited and waited for the future letter, so he felt a little restless, and was afraid that some maidservants would pester him, so he got up and went to go outside.

But just after he walked not far away, he heard a loud noise, but he heard it was at the main entrance. He hurried a few steps in wonder, and suddenly heard the sound of "tapping, treading" horse's hooves, and the doubt on his face became more and more suspicious.

Ximen Qing is also smart, otherwise, how could he steal such a large property by stealing it, and hid behind a house when no one was around, and then saw a lot of cavalry rushing in.

These cavalrymen were all majestic and majestic, he was shocked immediately, who did he provoke, and even led troops into his house?

Ximenqing was panicked in his heart, he just waited to take a closer look, but saw that one of the riders was somewhat familiar, but in his mind, he was terrified, isn't this the enemy formed in the ghost fan tower in the capital!

But why is this enemy so vengeful?After a long time, he actually came to Yanggu County?Ximen Qing looked at those cavalrymen, the red flowers on his temples were so frightened that they fell off, he only hated that his family should not have gone to the Ghost Fan Tower, even though he thought he knew Taishi Cai, he also knew the truth that a good man does not suffer in front of him, turned around Then hide.

But at this time, the servant girls Xiuchun and Lan Xiang came over hand in hand, they were friends with him, Xiuchun called out: "Master, what's the big deal ahead, why are so many people riding in here?"

At this moment, Ximen Qing wanted to stab them both to death, and didn't answer, but his face turned pale, and he ran away quickly. Among the crowd, only Wu Song knew him, happened to see him, and shouted: "Ximen Qing, don't run!"

No one dared to stop Ximenqing, but the house was surrounded like an iron barrel, and he couldn't escape at all. He was caught up by Wu Song in a short while, but he had some fists and kicks, and the two hit each other.

Zhao Tang didn't care about these things, and ordered to arrest people, and the incident didn't stop until dusk. Since Ximen Qing was beaten to death by Wu Song, the imperial army searched dozens of large boxes of belongings, and loaded them into carts. out of town.

Set up camp outside the city, Zhao Tong inspected things, Lin Lin finally figured it out, it was worth 10,000+ silver, not counting the belongings that could not be taken away, all kinds of decorations, at least tens of thousands.

Zhao Tang knew that even if Ximenqing's raw medicine shop made more money, it would not be able to make a lot of money, most of it was accumulated through stealth and stealing. He was thinking about it, and suddenly a report came from outside the door saying that Shi Wenkui, the magistrate of Yanggu County, asked to see him.

Zhao Tong asked someone to be brought in, and the Shi Zhixian presented several evidences of Ximen Qing's secret communication with the Liangshan bandits as soon as he entered the door. gone?"

Shi Wenkui's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "It's been four or five years since I returned to the prince."

Zhao Tong said: "Originally in this dynasty, local officials would be transferred in one or two years. After Yuanfeng restructured, it was delayed a little bit, but four or five years is really too long."

Shi Wenkui said: "What the lord said is very true, my lord... Apart from the evidence of Ximen Qing's rebellion, the lord also brought some things to the lord."

Zhao Tong laughed and said, "It's hard for me to say that Shizhi County is so polite."

Shi Wenkui said: "If the prince hadn't come to Yanggu, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the demeanor of the prince for the rest of my life. It's a blessing for me to be able to present a gift to the prince."

Zhao Tang looked at him, and said for a moment: "Since Shi Zhixian is polite, I can't let you lose money. I didn't copy the herbal medicine store, and the house was not clean. Shi Zhixian can go and check it again."

Shi Wenkui said happily: "The lower official understands, the lower official understands."

Zhao Tong said again: "The ones that don't have much to do with it are just let go, and the rest should be let go. As for how to report to the court, you can decide for yourself, can you handle it well?"

Shi Wenkui said: "My lord, don't worry, I don't dare to say anything else, these low-level officials can still handle it well."

Zhao Tong nodded, and after sending Shi Wenkui away, he called Wu Song again. Wu Song wanted to take care of Wu Dalang and couldn't leave Yanggu for the time being. Dead before account."

Zhao Tong said: "Erlang, let's not talk too much, it's important to take care of brother."

Wu Song bowed again and again before leaving.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Tun led the team and headed straight to Dengzhou without anyone sending him off.

Because he was acting in secret, after entering Dengzhou City, he didn't even see Zhizhou, and stayed directly in Ma Zheng's mansion.

Although Ma Zheng is a military officer, he is rather refined. Zhao Tong found out after chatting with him that he was actually Zhe Yanye's subordinate. Zhe Yanye is Zhe Yanzhi's elder brother, and now he is the first lieutenant general of Qin Fenglu.

The matter of going to sea is not to leave immediately when we arrive in Dengzhou. Although the imperial court has issued a secret order to Ma Zheng, everything still needs to be discussed and planned with Zhao Tuo, especially how many people and how many ships to bring. There is no assignment from the imperial court, and they need to decide on their own.

At dusk, it was already the third day after entering Dengzhou. Zhao Tun sat on the chair in Ma Zheng's study with his hands on the pillow, looked at Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing in front of him, and sighed: "This king is really worried. I have never even seen the sea, let alone go out to sea, listening to what the two of you say about seasickness in wind and waves, my head is getting big."

Ma Zheng, with a white face and long beard, glanced at Hu Yanqing, who had a dark face beside him, stood up and said: "My lord, this is because my subordinates have not thought carefully, why don't we go to the beach tomorrow and let the lord sit on the boat and experience it. By the way, enjoy the view of the sea.”

Zhao Tun heard the words and looked at the sky outside, lazily said: "I'm still waiting for tomorrow, it's not too late now, let's go and have a look!"
