Yi Song

Chapter 71 Khitan people, kill a few first
  "Wen Hu's spirit is upright and her talent is pure. She recommends the method of bravery and obtains the secret of Tao Qian. In the wind and clouds, the loyalty and courage are forgotten and exposed all night long. But I will not let you go, but I will always cherish you."

Liu Guozhang took the letter, opened it and read it, and was dumbfounded.

Parallel four and six, crotch and teeth, difficult and obscure. After reading the whole article, I could only understand the inscription "Sanlang of Cai Mansion bows down".

"Cai Laosan, why is he writing to me?" Liu Guozhang asked curiously, "The most important thing is, what on earth is he writing!"

"Give it to me." Murong Shisan reached out, took the letter, scanned it, and sneered a few times.

"Cai Laosan has a lot of literary talent and is highly valued by the officials. He stayed in the imperial court as Secretary Cheng and Bachelor of Imperial Examination. He is best at sculpting parallel figures and has gorgeous ornaments. Haha, he actually showed off in his letter to Erlang."

"Showing off? He is mocking me for not studying! For the moment, write down, what did he write in the letter?"

"He first praised you in the letter, and then said that the murder of Fu Qilang's family was not due to his intention, but because he was entrusted by his friends to help a group of people find Fu Qilang's family. As a result, these people killed Fu Qilang's family. Cai Laosan Knowing that a big mistake has been made, I have no choice but to try my best to atone."

"Atonement? How to atone? Atonement with just a piece of paper? Can Fu Qilang's family be brought back alive? Also, he made this call but didn't tell us about the real murderer. Is it called atonement?"

Murong Shisan took the envelope, pinched open the seal with two fingers, poured it down, and poured out a small note.

She stretched out her left hand, pinched the piece of paper, swept her beautiful eyes, and raised her sharp eyebrows.

"Wang Dahu, it sounds like a fake name at first glance."

Liu Guozhang took the note, which read: "There are twelve real murderers in total, and the leader is Wang Dahu. Their strongholds are Puji Temple in the city, Fayun Temple, and Salvation Temple outside Xinfengqiu Gate. With what we have If the situation is right, then you’re right!”

"No matter what tiger he is, he is dead!" Liu Guozhang crumpled the note into a ball and said fiercely.

"Erlang, I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle."

"Why is it so difficult?"

"These people may be Khitan people. If you commit suicide without authorization, the court will be worried about causing Beiliao's wrath. They will arrest you first and then kill you as scapegoats."

"Angry? The Khitan people burned, killed and looted on the border, but the court was not angry. When they went deep into the imperial capital and killed the family of the Imperial Attaché, the court was not angry. I killed the thieves and demanded justice, but they were furious!"

Liu Guozhang's voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating, like sharp blades piercing people's hearts.

Yue Fei and Zhang Meng put down their chopsticks and looked at Murong Shisan with indignation.

Xu Xiniang's pink face turned red, she clenched her fists and looked at Murong Thirteen.

"Alas!" Murong Shisan let out a long sigh, "Nowadays, the officials are fatuous, and the officials are treacherous, plundering and exploiting people, breaking bones and sucking out marrow in order to invite the Holy Family. The entire city of Kaifeng and the entire Song Dynasty have been turned into a pool of stagnant water by them.

‘The blue flies of the camp stop at Fan. How can you, a gentleman, make unfaithful and slanderous remarks? ’ But in today’s Song Dynasty, flies and mosquitoes are all over the court. What makes people even more desperate is that these flies and mosquitoes cannot tolerate the ripples caused by a stone. "

"Then let's throw a medium-sized stone first to let them get used to it. Then we will continue to throw more and more stones, and finally explode this mass of despair and create a new world."

"Is there any hope?"

“Light appears in the darkest moments, and hope always comes in the darkest moments.”

Liu Guozhang's words made Murong Shisan's expression perk up.

Why do his words always make people so excited?

"What do Erlang want to do?"

"Let's get to know the background of this group of people first. If they are followers of the Bei Liao Mission, we will think of another way."

"Erlang, what's wrong?"

"Chase them to the territory of the Liao Kingdom, pretend to be bandits and robbers, and kill them all. You can't blame our Song Dynasty for the unrest in the Northern Liao Kingdom."

I don’t know how many Khitan people I killed in my predecessor, not more than these few.

"Okay!" Zhang Meng cheered happily.

"If they just enter the Song Dynasty as ordinary business travelers, then set up an ambush to kill them, and then find some military information, some swords, guns and crossbows from their luggage. Say they have bad intentions and bite them back."

"Brother, what if their luggage doesn't have these things?" Yue Fei asked.

"I say yes, and a dead person will not argue with us. Master," Liu Guozhang looked at Murong Thirteen, "we still need an identity."

"It doesn't matter, I'll give you the Suzaku Guard's flag and badge."

"Suzaku Guard?"

"Yes, I have Lingguang Academy, Shuming Emperor Ji's Mansion, and seven farms outside the city, with tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. With so many properties, I must have guards to prevent them from getting too late."

Murong Shisan said nonchalantly: "And I like to go out of the city to ride and hunt, patrolling the mountains and fields in the capital. But in the past, the Suzaku Guards were all women in distress that I took in."

In addition, I can go to Tiansi Prison and borrow a dozen or twenty good horses. "

"That's great! Thank you, Master."

Murong Shisan smiled faintly, stared at Liu Guozhang, and thought silently in his heart.

Let's see how you break open this pool of stagnant water.

Tuogang, five miles away from the north of the city, is the commanding height of dozens of miles north of the city. Liu Guozhang, Di Wanren, Yang Xiaojie and Zhang Meng stood on the top of the hill, looking at Kaifeng City in the south.

"Why isn't Brother Fei here?" Yang Xiaojie asked curiously.

"He was calling to come, and I asked him, can you ride a horse? He was speechless."

"The injury is not healed yet?" "Yes."

"Then there's nothing you can do. If the injury on your butt isn't completely healed, you won't be able to ride a horse."

"The brother who reported the news is here." Di Wanren pointed to the mountain road where he went to work.

"Erlang, four thieves are still lingering in Puji Temple."

"Erlang, three thieves entered Fayun Temple and haven't come out yet."

Everyone couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Aren't they going back? Why are they taking so long?"

"Could it be a suspicion formation?"

"It's possible. This gang of thieves is very suspicious to the police. Several brothers who were following them said that they seemed to have noticed them twice."

Everyone was talking a lot and staring at Liu Guozhang in unison.

"It doesn't matter whether he is dilly-dallying or raising suspicions. Let's just keep an eye on Wang Dahu in Salvation Temple." Liu Guozhang said.

Everyone looked at each other.

"Brother, why?"

"Big Eyes, you have to remember, the Khitans, these nomadic people value respect and inferiority the most. They are like a pack of wolves on the grassland, they need the leadership of the leader. So we just keep an eye on the leader."

"Brother, I remember."

Di Wanren and Yang Xiaojie looked at each other and said nothing. They just involuntarily moved closer to Liu Guozhang.

"Look there, where is it?"

Everyone looked along Liu Guozhang's finger. Although the weather was clear, it was too far away and only a vague outline could be seen.

"Erlang, that's Long Live Mountain." Di Wanren replied.

"Long Live Mountain?"

"Yes. That location is in the northeast of the inner city. East of Jinglong Gate, west of Fengqiu Gate, north of Donghua Gate of the Imperial City, south of Jinglong River, with a radius of six miles, covering an area of ​​700 to 800 acres. It will be demolished There are three houses: Guangfu, Youfu and Anfu. The flowers and stones brought from the southeast are all hidden there."

"It costs a lot of money. Why did the officials think of repairing it?"

"Nowadays, there is a lot of construction work in the official family. Which year hasn't it?" Yang Xiaojie replied, "I heard that since Emperor Zhenzong, the royal family has had difficulty in having heirs. Although the official family has a few sons, they are comparable to those of the previous emperors in the temple. But he hopes to have more heirs. More than his father.

Mr. Yuan Miao said, "In the northeast corner of the inner city, the land is harmonious. If the situation is increased, it will be auspicious for many men." So the officials issued an edict to build Long Live Mountain starting from this spring. "

Liu Guozhang sighed: "Building a mountain only makes the people resentful and exhausts the country's power."

"Yes!" Everyone sighed.

An hour later, someone came to report again.

"Erlang, the thieves from Puji Temple and Fayun Temple gathered at Salvation Temple. Then they led the horses out and started to act."

"It's finally moving. Di Sanlang and Yang Liulang, go and greet the brothers and get ready. If they want to go north back to Khitan, they must take Fengqiu into Huazhou and cross the Yellow River at Baimajin.

Tell the brothers to wait in the woods south of the town. Big Eyes and I followed with five people behind. "

"Yes."

After noon, Liu Guozhang made sure that the group of people went north according to the planned route, took a small road with big eyes, and first came to the mountain forest south of the due town to wait.

"Erlang, the thief will be here soon." The spy came to report.

"Get ready." Liu Guozhang ordered.

"Erlang, this is an important road with constant business traffic. We really want to take action here." Yang Xiaojie asked hesitantly.

"We are going to do it here. You can't believe it, and those Khitan people can't believe it even more."

"That"

"Yang Liulang, there's not that much left. After we finish the work, let's say it is what it is! Dead people won't argue with us. If a businessman dares to side with the thieves, we will say that he is a group.

For some people in the court, these people are a big trouble. If we get rid of them, someone will naturally help us cover up. "

"Okay! Today we will follow Erlang and avenge Fu Qilang's family!"

Just as he was getting ready to go, another spy came to report.

"Report! Two carriages are coming from the direction of Fengqiu County, with more than ten people guarding them. They will meet up with the bandits in a quarter of an hour."

bad thing!

Once they take action, the Khitans will definitely hijack the carriage and take it hostage.

Di Wanren and Yang Xiaojie were anxious, "Erlang, are you ready to take action? If we wait for the carriage to pass, the thieves will cross the forest and we will lose our ground."

Everyone looked at Liu Guozhang nervously, waiting for his order.
