Chapter Ninety-Three
"What did you say?" Hearing Meng Zhijin's words, Liu Yu was taken aback, stood up directly from behind the bookcase, and walked forward, standing in front of the hall was a thin old man, wearing a public soap-colored regular clothes, his identity was a workman, and he was a professional family.
"Tell Taishou, his subordinates have been in the industry since he was fifteen years old, and it has been more than fifty years, although he dare not say that he has sharp eyes, but such an obvious wound can not be wrong, this is caused by a thin-bladed sharp knife from a close point, the deceased did not struggle too much, obviously did not take precautions, or acquaintances do not know, in any case, it will not be a battle against the enemy or an arrow wound."
Hearing that he had explained his analysis in detail, Liu Yu's heart immediately understood, Zhang Dutong of the township soldiers, the one who took over his command after Yuan Hong was wounded, was actually killed by someone, did this person temporarily want to make meritorious contributions to the enemy, or was he originally a spy planted in the city by the Tartars?
The population of the city, including the common people and the defenders, was close to 300,000, and a large part of them were from the city that had just entered before the war. If it weren't for the fact that it was a capital that died, and according to the custom, he invited a servant before entering the collection, and this servant was a veteran for many years, maybe he would have been confused like this.
Now there are only four guards in the city, Jin Ming and the others have their own personal guards, plus their own martial arts are good, and their vigilance is also high, so the chance of being attacked will not be very great. There are only literati like himself and Yuan Hong, no, only himself, a rookie, when he thought of this, he couldn't help but thank Wang Lixin for letting such a little tail as little Lori follow him all day long, in vain he was still annoyed before.
"Ziqing, this matter is difficult to say, easy to say, there is no need to worry so much, we assume that it is the spy sent by the Tartars, Zhang Dutong died in full view of everyone that day, and the surrounding township soldiers will not be wiped out, this is one of them. He can get so close to Zhang Dutong, either a village soldier or a volunteer, these people are on the roster, it is not difficult to find out, this is the second thing. In this way, the scope is much narrower. β
Meng Zhijin first instructed the old man to keep this matter secret, sent him away, and then said to Liu Yu with a thoughtful face. After hearing this, Liu Yu suddenly realized that he was indeed thinking too much, the scope was indeed not large, the war was urgent that day, and it was impossible for an ordinary person to rush over like this, so he only needed to secretly investigate.
Liu Yu can be said to have no experience in this kind of thing, and in ancient times, it was the duty of parents in a state to visit cases and investigate grievances. The township soldiers mainly came from the north gate, and only a small part of them supplemented the losses of each gate, and the volunteers were all in the forbidden army camp, and the first thing to check was the recruited group of new people who entered the city.
There is still a lack of a guard at the north gate, and he is ready to transfer Liu Shiyong over and take on his original Longguang Gate guard task by himself, anyway, this gate is also in the west of the city. As for the candidates for the secret investigation, Meng Zhijin sent Xu officials who were proficient in criminal names, and they came one by one according to the registered roster, focusing on the kind of homeless bachelors.
personally sent Meng Zhijin out of the door, Liu Yu subconsciously touched the ribs when he went back, although he wore body armor here, but there was no steel plate inside, thinking of the stab of Mao Shixiong back to the rebellion, fortunately it was not here. People are not always lucky, he paced back and forth in the courtyard, and suddenly thought of how to forget this person, and hurriedly beckoned a personal soldier to give him some advice in his ear.
In the Han army camp outside the north of the city, Xie Ruji was also pacing back and forth in his tent, as if he was making a very difficult decision, and his second son Xie Chenggui knelt in it, looking up at him stubbornly, and he had a posture of not giving up until he reached his goal.
"You really think clearly, this is a self-imposed trap, maybe the city has been aware of it, and is drawing a shadow to capture you." Xie Ruji stopped, stared at his son's eyes and said solemnly, he has sent several envoys in a row in the past few days, but they can only be near the east gate, and their every move is stared at to death.
"Don't be afraid, I acted that day, no one knew my son, and my father saw it these days, the defenders were very well guarded, and the people sent out were not familiar with the terrain, so they didn't dare to act at all, and it was the same if they were replaced. It's better to let Er go, find a chance to meet with them, and explain the instructions of the commander. β
Xie Ruji stared at his son for a long time, sighed, stretched out his hand and pulled him up, his son grew up and had a little bit of what he was back then. It's a pity that it's not a son-in-law, it's okay, it's okay to fight for a future by yourself, anyway, it's also surnamed Jie, and the same glory is the ancestor, thinking of this, his eyes have become soft, which makes Xie Chenggui feel extremely uncomfortable.
"The general Yelusheng rode and carried a sword, and he wanted to take revenge. Yang Yanzhao raised his gun to face the battle. The two horses intersect and kill each other. Yan Zhao stabbed with a spear, Yelusheng overturned the saddle and fell off the horse, blood splashed with dust. Exactly: the officials on the battlefield are desperate, and the Song will show his majesty"
Here it is again, since the day before yesterday, the Song people began to play this storytelling joke outside the city every night, and now they don't let go even during the day. The story of the Yang family general is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than Yue Fei in Hebei and other places, Yang Liulang and Yang Yanzhao are even more well-known in the streets, and everyone knows it.
Although the Great Song Dynasty has lost the Central Plains for more than 100 years, no one here thinks that they are still Song people, but this whole day is so relaxed, Xie Ruji strokes his forehead with his hand, he is the one who besieges the city, it seems that the embattled people are the people in the city, how can it be reversed, Song General? Lao Tzu is a fucking Han general.
Boyan outside the West Gate also had a headache for this, he actually liked to listen to Yue Fei's biography, people fought against Dajin, and he was also the enemy of the Mongols, but the more he listened to it, the more wrong it became, and it was just a matter of preaching loyalty.
But after checking the surroundings, I couldn't find what it was, could it be that it was put directly in the city? Boyan couldn't believe it, the legendary Lei Gong was nothing more than that, at such a distance, how could he hear it so clearly, he had the heart to shoot a few cannons, but he gave up after thinking about it, and now the various ministries are still negotiating with the city, and they can't just start a war.
The upset Boyan had to go as far as he could, and even went directly to the big boat on the dock, and his voice gradually became smaller and inaudible, he didn't believe that doing so would make those Han people rebellious. It's just that it will affect some morale, and the strange things of the Song people emerge in endlessly, why is their parliament so weak.
After several siege battles, Boyan already understood that it was difficult for a strong attack to work, and if it was changed to a long-term siege, the climate in Jiangnan would be another problem. This place is not better than Xiangyang is located in the north of the river, another month is the rainy season, the garrison outside the city is in difficulty, how much food is in the city, and whether it can last for another month, Boyan is a little uncertain.
In the small courtyard not far from the mansion, the wing room on the left side is all for women, and the door is guarded by the forbidden army, and strange men are not allowed to peep. This is an order given by Taishou himself, and the violator is to march the law, which is simply treated as a military camp, therefore, the two sergeants who guard the door are very uncomfortable, although there are beautiful little ladies coming and going from time to time, but they don't dare to look at it at all, and they have to endure the women laughing from time to time.
Gu Xixi already liked this errand a little, although Tiyì, who helped to contain the wounded soldiers, was not passed, but the matter that Taishou explained was also very interesting. There are not many things, you can play one song every day, if you have leisure, you can come to a few more songs, but the repertoire is required to be produced by the Northland, and it is better to be able to detain the army.
In the past few days, she has been looking everywhere in her house, but there are only a few songs, such as "Plugged Song", "Yangliu Resentment", "Yangguan Three Stacks", "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats" and so on, and most of them are music scores, which cannot be sung. After Taishou heard about it, he promised to help her find it, and he had some expectations for what kind of song it would be.
A few people in the same room have been known for a long time, just because their peers are enemies, they usually have no contacts, and they can't even hand over a handkerchief. Fortunately, there are a lot of rooms here, and there is no need to stay together and be embarrassed.
I was about to review the song I was about to play again, when I saw my maid enter the room with a curtain in her hand, with a puzzled look on her face, she stopped her movements and watched her come over.
"Sister, this is sent by the Taishou messenger, saying that it is a song sheet, but I don't look like the ones you read on weekdays." The maid handed over a few pieces of paper as she spoke, and Gu Xixi took it and saw that the paper was white, with no raw edges at all, and each one had a song on it.
"This is a minus character spectrum, no different from my ones, but the cricket symbol on it, I don't know what it means, is it the notation of the Hu people in the Western Regions?" Gu Xixi hummed while watching, but it was a minor key, the song was not complicated, and the words were also very popular, so there was no literary style at all.
This is a folk tune that Liu Yu found from later generations, I have to say that Gu Xixi's guess is basically right, the above is the five-line notation invented by the West, he was too lazy to remove it, so he printed it out together, anyway, there is an ancient notation method below, and there is no need to worry that Gu Xixi can't understand it.
This small courtyard has been running for a few days, from the initial storytelling jokes, all kinds of northern tunes, and slowly to the various histories and folk tales created by the students themselves, subtly and gradually deepening, and finally what effect can be achieved, Liu Yu is not sure, but Wang Lixin and others are more optimistic, so they will do it first.
There is no intersection between the line in the courtyard and the original erection in the city, but because the content here is richer and the broadcast time is much longer, the people in the city began to gather as close to the city gate as possible, calling friends and friends until late at night, but this result was unexpected.
