Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 42 The Warrior Returns
Pan Jinlian, a woman, walked to the threshold and stared intently at the row of soldiers carrying more than [-] iron boxes, who came in from the outside in a hurry.

He quickly grabbed the leader's hand and asked urgently: "What's in the box?"

The man stopped and bowed to the woman Pan Jinlian.

He said softly: "Mrs. Ying, these 24 iron boxes contain a total of 3 taels of silver. All of this silver was obtained by confiscating the original owner of the house, Sun Qingshan."

While speaking softly, he ordered his men to quickly carry these iron boxes into the house.

He continued: "Mrs. Ying, please listen to me. Chief Registrar Ying has specially given instructions. You must remember not to tell anyone!"

"If this matter is not kept secret, there will definitely be endless troubles."

The woman was stunned on the spot, unable to believe her ears.

3 taels of silver?
She stared at this person with dumbfounded eyes, and held his hand tighter.

Even his voice trembled as he asked, "How much did you say? 3 taels of silver?"

The man smiled slightly, bowed respectfully and said, "I will give you 3 taels of silver in return for my wife."

This woman had a miserable life and had lived a life of poverty since she was born.

When he was very young, he was sold to this family in one year and to that family in that year.

I have never seen so many silver taels in this life.

For a moment, he was stunned on the spot, his mind went blank.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiangzhu immediately came over and helped the woman.

He asked the woman anxiously: "Madam, are you okay?"

Pan Jinlian was stunned for a while, then waved her hand lightly, and said, "Go in quickly, and arrange the money with those soldiers."

Zhao Xiangzhu quickly nodded and said yes, and walked quickly inside.

After all, this Zhao Xiangzhu was left by Song Huizong before Count Ying. Her true identity should probably be a palace maid or something like that.

Having lived in the palace for a long time, it is said that he has seen the world.

But despite this, Zhao Xiangzhu was also stunned by the scene in front of him.

The most important thing is that Zhao Xiangzhu grew up in Bianliang City.

From the beginning to the end, I always felt that among so many cities in the Song Dynasty, Qinghe County could not be ranked at all.

So she was even more shocked that a mere Qinghe County could find 3 taels of silver in a house ransack.

She was extremely shocked, but she heard that the woman had given orders and did not dare to think too much.

He had no choice but to quickly run into the room and sort out the silver with the soldiers.

The woman Pan Jinlian slowed down for quite a while before moving her steps as if she had just woken up from a dream.

I was thinking: After the official comes back today, the slave family will have to ask him carefully. These 3 taels of silver are not a joke!
For some reason, this woman felt inexplicably panicked all day long.

What exactly caused this to happen is unclear.

This woman has lived in Earl Ying's mansion five days ago. Wu Dalang's house on Purple Stone Street seems a little strange to her now.

She didn't know that early this morning, her uncle Wu Erlang Wu Song escaped from Xieyang Mountain.

At that time, Wu Song's clothes were ragged and covered in blood, and his clothes and pants had dozens of holes poked by swords.

He also walked with a limp and kept coughing. He looked like he had experienced a bloody battle with a near-death experience.

Wu Song crawled all the way to Zishi Street, thinking that this time he escaped from death and returned home to reunite with his brother. It was really the blessing of his parents in heaven.

However, when he pushed open the door of the Wu Family, what came into view was the spiritual tablet of the Wu Family!

Immediately, he knelt on the ground with a "pop" and cried loudly: "Brother!" It turned out that Wu Song and the other detectives had just arrived at the top of Xieyang Mountain that day when they encountered an ambush.

The commander of Xieyang Mountain Zhensanshan had already led more than 50 of his brothers to ambush in the dark.

Seeing Wu Song finally arrived, he immediately ordered everyone to surround him.

At that time, Wu Song panicked, and hastily drew out the long knife from his waist, and hastily fought.

Suddenly, Agent Wang Wu and Agent Sun Liu beside him gritted their teeth and stabbed him twice.

Wu Song was shocked and turned pale. As soon as he swayed and was about to slash the sword to his side, Zhen Sanshan and his followers rushed over.

Wu Song was really miserable!

On the one hand, he has to deal with Zhen Sanshan and others, but on the other hand, he cannot take his own people lightly.

In this bloody battle, Wu Song tried his best to break out of the tight encirclement. However, the difficulty was far beyond his imagination.

People like Wang Wu and Sun Liu are only focused on getting the bounty, and they don't care about the bullshit comradeship.

Everyone knew it well when they came out of Qinghe County.

The purpose of going to Xieyang Mountain this time is to kill Wu Song.

Ximen officials have already said that whoever can take off Wu Song's head will get a thousand taels of gold.

In this case, isn't Wu Song doomed?

The actual situation is not much different from what everyone thought. This strong man who killed the big insect with his bare hands is truly the best in the world in boxing and kicking skills.

The fierce attack by nearly a hundred people inside and outside here not only did not take Wu Song's life, but made Wu Song become more courageous as he fought.

For eight hours, Wu Song kept raising and lowering his sword, and finally killed most of the people in the field.

When the time came to the ninth hour, Wu Song held a steel knife and took down Zhen Sanshan, the leader of Xieyang Mountain, in one go.

He forced Zhen Sanshan to find out who was behind the scenes.

At that time, Zhen Sanshan did not care about anything in order to survive, so he confessed Ximen Qing on the spot.

Wu Song was shocked to realize that such a huge game of chess was actually controlled by Ximen Qing himself!
It is said that he had learned many days ago that his sister-in-law Pan Jinlian was not a kind person.

Since the person behind this incident is Ximen Qing, most likely, this incident is inseparable from Pan Jinlian.

So Wu Song killed Zhen Sanshan with one blow.

Dragging his scarred body, he got on the horse.

I forced myself all the way from Xieyang Mountain back to Qinghe County.

The result was unexpected!As soon as he rushed into the house, he saw his brother Wu Dalang's memorial tablet standing in front of the hall.

Most of the day passed, and Wu Song struggled to extract himself from the grief.

It was discovered that the woman Pan Jinlian was nowhere to be found inside and outside the home, and Ying'er, the daughter of Wu Dalang and his first wife, was also missing.

At the moment, he no longer cares about others, he is determined to find Ximen Qing as soon as possible and avenge this blood feud.

At the same time, Earl Ying, who had been busy in the county government for half a day, returned home.

After tying the horse and walking into the room, the woman Pan Jinlian immediately brought hot tea and told him about the 3 taels of silver.

Earl Ying smiled and said: "Are you shocked by such a large amount?"

The woman nodded quickly and said in shock: "That's natural! Think about it, let alone the chief registrar or the county magistrate, how much salary does Li Gongji, as the county magistrate, have throughout the year?"

"Sun Qingshan, a mere boss, is able to collect so much money from corruption!"
