Chapter 004: Change

Late at night, the Taiyuan City Prison was frozen like a cellar, and if it weren't for a few still glowing honeycomb coal stoves in the corridor, the prisoners in the prison would have frozen to death.

The new cells were made of concrete walls, the doors were made of steel chains, and the guards were so tight that it was even more difficult to escape from here.

In one of the cells in the back, Yelu Yan and Lin Feng were dressed in prison clothes and had their hair scattered, sitting on a straw pile in the corner, their heads down.

"Brother Yelu, this time, I hurt you!"

Lin Feng's face was apologetic, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"My own brother, there is no need to talk about this. It's only a matter of time before these traitors want to put us to death!"

Yelu shook his head and said, "Now I'm worried about the family in Tokyo City, and I don't know what my father and mother and son are like now?"

Lin Feng felt uncomfortable in his heart, if it weren't for Wang Song's death, he wanted to flee north, and Yelu Yan chased him, and the two of them would not have been imprisoned together, dragging Ye Lu Gan down.

These traitors didn't listen to their explanations at all, and directly put the two in prison.

If Wang Song is here, who would dare to do such a thing!

"Brother Lin, it's not funny for you to say, five months ago, you and I started to build this new Taiyuan City, but I never thought that this cell was built for ourselves. Isn't it funny, you say?"

Yelu Yan laughed at himself, and Lin Feng also smiled bitterly.

"If we knew this was the case, we would have made this prison wall thinner, so that we could wear it with our feet and run out at any time."

Yelu smiled a little, and his expression became gloomy again.

"What if you run back to the Northlands? You can do more than just be a soldier and fight. Do you still want to vote, meet these brothers on the battlefield, and kill each other?"

"Brother Jerry, you are wrong! I just want to take my family to Saiwai, put on a carriage, drive cattle and sheep, live in water and grass, and don't fight anymore in this life!"

"Marry another girl on the prairie, give birth to a litter of babies, and live happily, the beauty you can imagine!"

Yelu laughed and said loudly:

"If the prince is here, you will be able to live this life in a few years. It's a pity that now it's just a dream!"

As soon as Wang Song was mentioned, the mood of the two of them dimmed again, and they became weak again.

"If it weren't for these traitorous ministers, how could the prince have died in battle? There are more than 10,000 brothers, and there are only six or seven hundred left, and now, it's time for the Jurchens to drink and celebrate, and the Song people, just cry hard!"

"If it weren't for the death of Wang Xianggong, I wouldn't have thought of escaping back to the Northland. The court and the central government are all these traitorous ministers in charge, and you and I will die sooner or later without a place to be buried. In this life, the straight lady thief is really aggrieved!"

"Who said no, as soon as Wang Xianggong died, all hope was gone!"

Wang Yan didn't move at all, standing in the dark outside the prison door, listening to the conversation between the two, he was also sad.

Wang Song died in battle, Dong Ping, Yang Jin and others died in battle, Ma Kuo retired with more than 200 generals, Chen Dong and Ouyang Che were transferred, Wang Dajie was missing, Wang Lun and Zhang Heng were in a worrying situation......

The loyal army founded by Wang Song has reached the brink of collapse.

"Go, put a stove in the cell, don't let these two freeze. They're the most important criminals in the army!"

The jailer's face showed embarrassment, and he said in his mouth: "General Wang, it's not that the villain is unwilling, this is explained from above, in case it is checked......"

Two ingots of silver were stuffed into his hands, and the jailer immediately smiled.

"General Wang, I'll do it for you, you wait!"

"Thank you, bring in another pot of hot water!"

Wang Yan explained to the jailer, turned around, looked at the two people in the prison, and shook his head slightly.

"Wang Yan, I don't need your pity, you don't want to be merciful in this cat!"

"Take away your stove, take away your hot water, my two brothers are not rare!"

The disdain of the two looked at them in their eyes, Wang Yan just smiled, and there was no displeasure.

"Lin Feng, you are so confused, you have run away, nothing has become something, and it has also affected Brother Yelu."

"Wang Yan, I don't need you to teach me a lesson, what are you!"

Lin Feng's anger did not make Wang Yan angry.

"You two are so angry, obviously you still care about me as a brother!"

Wang Yan said slowly, his face became solemn.

"If you two make such a fuss, the traitors just have an excuse, the loyal army will soon be divided, and the hard work of Wang Xianggong will probably be in vain!"

Jereuzan couldn't help but stand up and walk to the cell door.

"Wang Yan, what do you mean by that?"

Lin Feng also stood up, walked to Yelu Yan's side, and looked at Wang Yan in front of him together.

Wang Yan looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he got closer and said in a low voice.

"Today, Zhang Shuye, Qin Hui, Zhang Jun and others are secretly discussing in the room, and they will immediately do something to Zhang Heng and Wang Lun, one is to kill innocents indiscriminately, the other is to fill their own pockets, plus the two of you have fled due to treason. Do you say, 'Are the loyal and righteous army about to fall?'

The two were stunned and dumbfounded, and stood dumbfounded at the door of the cell.

"Wang Yan, you are also the general of the Loyal and Righteous Army, the prince treats you well, you must try to protect the Loyal and Righteous Army, and you must not let the Loyal and Righteous Army fall into the hands of these traitors!"

"Wang Yan, you have to try to protect these brothers, and you can't let them shed blood and tears!"

Yelu Geng and Lin Feng's hearts were cold, and the two knelt down with the prison door, kowtowing "dong dong".

"Hurry up and don't let outsiders see it, I already have a countermeasure in mind."

Wang Yan hurriedly helped the two of them up, with a solemn expression.

"Brother Wang Yan, do you really have a countermeasure?"

Yelu couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Military affairs, how can I lie to you!"

Wang Yan Zhengse said, lowering his voice.

"Don't worry, you two, I have written a letter to Emperor Jofuku in Tokyo City, and I ask her to hand over your grievances. As for Zhang Heng and them, I will do my best. I believe that for the sake of Wang Xianggong's face, she will definitely stand up for her brothers and wash away her grievances. ”

The two of them nodded again and again, their hearts were moved, and they were still relieved by these old brothers.

"Brother Wang Yan, we are wrong to blame you!"

"Wang Xianggong has gone, and we have to borrow his blessing when we go, it really makes people cry when I think about it!"

Several people were in tears, and when they saw the jailer coming over with a stove, Wang Yan quickly wiped his tears and whispered: "Two brothers, you must be patient in everything, I will definitely do my best not to let the loyal army fall into the hands of traitorous ministers!"

Wang Yan's face was solemn, and when he saw the jailer coming, he explained a few words, shook his head and left.

"Zhang Heng, you ordered your subordinates to wantonly kill the people of the Great Song Dynasty in Zhenchuan Fort, Fuzhou, and the evidence is conclusive. Now you will be imprisoned and questioned. This is the military order of the Xuanfu Division, if there is anything to be tried, the three divisions will talk about it later, take it away. ”

In the barracks, Qin Hui finished reading the documents of the Xuanfu Division, and said coldly: "General Zhang, please!"

The sergeant of the Xuanfu Division he brought stepped forward and wanted to arrest Zhang Heng.

The sound of "Lingchang" sounded, and several of Zhang Heng's guards, each of whom pulled out their long knives, stood in front of him, and the fierce momentum made the sergeant of the Xuanfu Division take a few steps back.

"As soon as Wang Xianggong died, are you going to attack Zhang Xianggong? If you have a kind, come up and see if Lao Tzu's knife is fast, or if your neck is hard!"

"Zhang Heng, are you going to rebel?"

Qin Hui's face turned pale, and he clenched his fists involuntarily, and his palms were sweaty.

He waved his hand, and dozens of archers entered the courtyard, stretched their bows and arrows, and aimed them at Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng waved his hand, and the guards put their knives into their sheaths and stood aside.

Zhang Heng stopped Zhang Xian and Niu Gao, who were indignant beside him, and looked at the other generals with different faces on the side.

"The prime minister has just died, and the loyal and righteous army must not start infighting. The court will give me a clean slate. Zhang Xian, Niu Gao, you lead the team, don't let Fanzi take advantage of the loophole!"

Niu Gao said angrily: "Every day is clear, every day is clear!" If the prince is here, he will be caught by these birdmen! The traitor is in charge, the traitor is in charge, the loyal army is finished!"

Seeing the guards retreat, Qin Hui quietly wiped the sweat from his palms and said coldly: "General Niu Gao, Lin Feng and Yelu want to escape from the Song Realm, and they have been imprisoned. If you talk nonsense again, I will definitely accuse you of a great crime of disrespect with them!"

Zhang Xian was furious and shouted: "Yelu Qian's family is in Tokyo City, how could he escape from the Song Realm?" You are a great traitor who refers to a deer as a horse!"

Niu Gao also said angrily: "Lin Feng just wants to go back to meet his relatives, the grace of his parents, the sky is high, go back and see, where can we talk about defecting to the enemy and treason?" If he really wanted to defect to the enemy and commit treason, how could he leave his family and not bring soft clothes? Is he an idiot?"

Qin Hui's face turned red, and he also scolded sharply.

"Ye Lu Gan and Lin Feng were caught by the guards on patrol, the evidence is conclusive, and we are also impartial in law enforcement, and we have not distorted the facts. If you disobey the military order and collide with the official, the official will be at the official's house and will join you. ”

"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse!"

Zhang Xian said angrily: "There are thousands of Khitan soldiers in the loyal army, if you have the guts, you will kill them all, I am afraid that you will not dare!"

"Vulgar and unreasonable!"

Qin Hui snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves away, and the sergeant who followed also walked cleanly.

Niu Gao hung his head, sat down, shook his head frequently, and said no more.

Zhang Xian slammed the table hard, and his brows were also tightly locked.

Qin Hui's face was pale, and the group escorted Zhang Heng out of the Chinese army camp. The soldiers outside the camp blocked the road one after another, surrounding Qin Hui and the others.

"Why did you take Deputy Dutong Zhang, what crime did he commit?"

"Arresting Deputy Dutong Zhang for no reason, is there a holy decree from the imperial court?"

"Quickly release Deputy Zhang, otherwise you don't want to leave!"

Qin Hui's face turned pale, and Zhang Jun immediately stepped forward and said angrily: "Do you dare to disobey the crown prince's military order?"

At the mention of the royal family, the soldiers fell silent.

The forbidden soldiers who escorted Zhang Heng were all pale. Zhang Jun waved his hand, and the forbidden soldiers stumbled, and finally squeezed out of the crowd of soldiers, and everyone was sweating.

Qin Hui wiped the sweat from his head and let out a sigh. Fortunately, Zhang Jun is here, otherwise it would be difficult to get out of the barracks.

When Zhai Er arrived in the camp, he suddenly saw Zhang Heng tied up by a group of sergeants and came forward.

Zhang ...... Deputy Commander, what are you doing, what happened?"

Zhang Heng sighed and shook his head.

Qin Hui stepped forward and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you, a stout man?"

As soon as Zhai Er saw these big turbans, his momentum was a little shorter. He replied respectfully: "Back to Xianggong, the villain is Zhai Er, the commander of the baggage battalion, and he has seen Xianggong."

"Zhai Er, the commander of the heavy grain and grass, are you that Wang Song's fellow countryman?"

Zhai Er hurriedly said: "It turns out that Xianggong also knows the villain, and the villain is Zhai Er, Wang Xianggong's fellow countryman." ”

Qin Hui nodded and scolded: "Zhai Er, you are just a rural villager, you are not virtuous, incompetent, and famous, what kind of ability do you have, you can sit in the position of this heavy grain and grass official, and you are not relying on Wang Song's favoritism!" It is ridiculous that a vulgar martial artist can also stand among the Huanghuang scholars! ”

Qin Hui waved his hand and said disdainfully: "Hurry up and get out of the way, you will block the way I am waiting!"

Zhai Er hurriedly got out of the way, puzzled in his eyes.

As soon as Wang Song left, even Zhang Heng was arrested. How did these big turbans suddenly gain momentum and become so arrogant?
