The fleet left the Huai River in the evening, and turned from Linhuai County into Surabaya, out of the reach of Li Zhongchen's power, at this time the fleet was in Sizhou, although Sizhou was not Tian Shenyu's territory, but it was already in Tian Shenyu's sphere of influence.

Sizhou is Xuzhou and Xuzhou is followed by Bozhou, then Songzhou, and then Bianzhou, and Xu, Bo, Song, and Bianzhou are the core territories of Tian Shenyu, unlike Li Zhongchen, Yangzhou and Chuzhou are not his territories, and he has to pretend to be a water thief to rob the ship.

Tian Shenyu doesn't need it at all, he can seize the fleet with an order, Tian Shenyu was originally a goose plucker, coupled with the tight financial resources, this time the tax ship entered Beijing, he didn't take millions of dollars, and he would never let the tax ship leave easily.

Sure enough, ten days later, not long after the fleet entered Bianzhou, Tian Shenyu sent 10,000 troops to detain the fleet outside Kaifeng County on the grounds that the imperial court had accumulated 500,000 yuan in arrears to the Biansong army in the past ten years.

Liu Yan was anxious, on the one hand, he ordered Luo Ziyu to guard the fleet, and on the other hand, he urgently wrote to the capital, asking the imperial court to come forward to pressure Tian Shenyu to release the ship.

A few days later, Li Yu, the son of heaven, issued an edict ordering Li Lingyao, the lord of Hugao Pass, to lead 30,000 troops to garrison Zheng Bian's junction, and gave Liu Yan a holy decree, requiring Tian Shenyu to release the ship immediately.

But Tian Shenyu was unmoved, and insisted that he would let the fleet go west only after the imperial court paid 500,000 yuan in military expenses.

Kaifeng County is a male county, the city is wide and tall, the population in the county is more than 10,000 households, the business is very prosperous, the Biansong Festival Du Mansion is located in the north of the county, covers an area of hundreds of acres, in addition to the official office and the back house, there is a military camp that can accommodate 3,000 soldiers.

The official office is majestic, there are eighteen soldiers standing on the eighteen steps, and there is a huge white jade lion on each side of the steps, stepping on the stone ball, compassion for all beings.

There is a large-scale restaurant diagonally opposite the official office, it is called Tian's restaurant, which was built by the investment of the Tian family, and it is also the largest restaurant in Kaifeng County, and the business is very prosperous.

In the evening, the business of Tian's restaurant was as hot as ever, the three floors were full, and in front of a small table in the innermost part of the window sat Guo Song and Sun Xiaozhen, Guo Song drank slowly, and his eyes were fixed on the Jiedu Mansion not far away.

At this time, a gorgeous carriage stopped in front of the mansion gate, and there were dozens of cavalry guards around the carriage, Sun Xiaozhen said in a low voice: "Tian Shenyu is famous for his pomp, from the front official office to the back mansion, there is obviously a small door to communicate, he doesn't go through the small door, he has to take the carriage around and enter through the back gate of the mansion." ”

At this time, three people came out of the gate of the official office, followed by two generals, the leader was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a medium stature, dark skin, wearing a purple three-grade official uniform, a jade belt around his waist, and a gauze hat on his head, and his appearance was very serious.

Guo Song asked, "Is that one in front of you Tian Shenyu?" ”

Sun Xiaozhen nodded, "That's him!" ”

Sun Xiaozhen spent more than half a year in Kaifeng County two years ago, and the situation here is still relatively familiar.

He said to Guo Song again: "Look at the general on the left, called Yang Huiyuan, the general on the right is called Xing Yanen, plus the general Fan Zhixin who besieged our fleet, these three people are known as the Three Tigers of the Biansong Dynasty, and their martial arts are very strong, the three of them are the right-hand men of the former Biansong Jiedu envoy Tian Shengong, the three of them were originally stationed in Songzhou, Bozhou and Xuzhou, it is rumored that Tian Shenyu was not at ease with the three of them, so he called them all back and replaced them with his own henchmen. ”

Guo Song looked at the three of them carefully, and saw Tian Shenyu sitting in the carriage, and the other two generals stood in front of the carriage respectfully, with an extremely deferential attitude, and kept looking at the carriage and walking away.

But after the carriage walked away, the two didn't say a word, just like strangers to each other, they went their separate ways, Guo Song thoughtfully, and asked, "Is there a contradiction between Yang Huiyuan and Xing Yanen?" ”

Sun Xiaozhen thought for a while and said: "Yang Huiyuan and Fan Zhixin have a deep holiday, it seems to be a revenge for killing his wife and son, this is an open secret, and everyone in Biansong knows it, but I have never heard of a contradiction between Yang Huiyuan and Xing Yanen. ”

At this time, an old man next to him said slowly: "Originally, there was a marriage contract between Yang Huiyuan and Xing Yanen, but at the beginning of the year, Xing Yanen broke the marriage contract and let his son marry Tian Shenyu's daughter, Yang Huiyuan turned his face with him, and now Xing Yanen and Fan Zhixin have teamed up to deal with Yang Huiyuan, this is Tian Shenyu's means, and the relationship between the three of them is provoked by a marriage." ”

Guo Song smiled again and asked, "Speaking of which, doesn't Yang Huiyuan hate Tian Shenyu deeply?" ”

The old man looked to both sides and said in a low voice: "There are rumors that the Ziqing Festival made Li Zhengji secretly woo Yang Huiyuan, but I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

After speaking, the old man waved his hand to the two of them and whispered: "This restaurant is opened by Tian Shenyu, there are many ears and eyes, don't talk about them anymore, so as not to get into trouble." ”

Guo Song hurriedly hugged his fists and thanked, "Thank you for the reminder!" ”

After a while, the old man checked out and left, and at this time it was almost dark, Guo Song said to Sun Xiaozhen: "Act according to the plan I gave you, understand?" ”

"I see!"

Sun Xiaozhen also got up and hurried away.

Guo Song drank a few more glasses of wine alone, then settled the bill, got up and went downstairs.

He lived in an inn not far from the neighborhood, and soon after Guo Song returned to his room, it was completely dark.

Guo Song changed into a black samurai uniform, put a mask on his face, bows and arrows and black swords behind his back, and packed everything up, he took advantage of the cover of night, turned over and left the inn, and touched Tian Shenyu's mansion........

Sun Xiaozhen went out of the city and rode to the wharf outside the city, where a tax fleet of more than 20 miles was moored to the south of the wharf, and 10,000 troops were stationed on the shore to guard this fleet.

However, Tian Shenyu still did a good job on the surface, and he asked the imperial court to take the initiative to give 500,000 yuan of money, instead of robbing the tax money himself.

It is manifested that the caretaker army and the fleet are safe, and the army on the shore does not harass the money-carrying fleet, but the premise is that the fleet must be honestly anchored on the shore, and once it leaves without authorization, the consequences will be serious.

Sun Xiaozhen found the first boat, and saw Luo Ziyu at a glance, Sun Xiaozhen hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "General Luo!" ”

Luo Ziyu hurriedly let Sun Xiaozhen get on the boat and asked him, "Where is Gongzi Guo?" ”

"Uncle Shi is in the county, there will be action tonight, I want to see the old man, where is he?"

Luo Ziyu pointed to the cabin and sighed: "It made Jun so angry that he fell ill!" ”

Sun Xiaozhen walked into the cabin and saw the white-haired Liu Yan lying on the couch with his eyes closed.

It was useless for Liu Yan to use the Son of Heaven's holy decree to pressure Tian Shenyu yesterday, he was so angry and anxious that he fell ill.

"Old man, wake up, I have something important to report to you."

Liu Yan slowly opened his eyes, sighed and asked, "It's Sun Shaolang, what about Guo Song?" ”

"My uncle will take action tonight, I'm here to inform the old man!"

Liu Yan pinned all his hopes on Guo Song, he grabbed Sun Xiaozhen's hand and asked urgently: "What do you need us to do, say it quickly!" ”

Sun Xiaozhen said a few words to Liu Yan with his ear, Liu Yan's eyes lit up, he used to be a little disapproving of Guo Song's various risky behaviors, but now he is also out of the way, rather than helpless, it is better to fight against the water.

Liu Yan struggled to sit up, wrote a letter, and handed it to Sun Xiaozhen along with the Son of Heaven's holy decree, "I'm sorry to ask Sun Shaolang to go on this trip." ”

Sun Xiaozhen hurriedly left with the letter and the holy decree, and Liu Yan called Luo Ziyu into the cabin and instructed him: "At the second watch, when I saw that the city was on fire, I immediately moved the fleet to the other side!" ”

.........

Guo Song has lurked into Tian Shenyu's inner house, in this huge mansion covering an area of about 100 acres lives Tian Shenyu's family, Tian Shenyu has more than a dozen wives and concubines, gave birth to eight sons and three daughters, and he has more than a dozen grandchildren under his knees, which can be described as a full house of children and grandchildren, and can enjoy the joy of family every day.

Unfortunately, his ambition and greed are about to bury all this.

Tian Shenyu is also very vigilant, not only does he guard closely, but he also spends the night in different wives and concubines every night, and he has as many as seven inner study rooms alone, which makes it impossible to find out his whereabouts.

But Guo Song had been in his mansion for an hour, and he had already found his whereabouts clearly.

In the courtyard of Tian Shenyu's seventh concubine, there are more than a dozen personal soldiers, carrying war knives, patrolling back and forth, and there are also hidden sentries on the surrounding walls, which are extremely well guarded and do not leak.

But no matter how strict the prevention is, there are weaknesses, the backyard is the weak point, the backyard of the study has no windows, and the study cannot be entered from the back, and the defense of the backyard is slightly weak.

A dark sentry on the tree next to the wall suddenly snorted and hung down on the tree, and a black shadow on the tree jumped into the backyard like a big bird, and landed lightly on the roof of the house, not on the tiles, silently.

He uncovered a few pieces of Ming Tile, and with a light leap he flipped into the next room........

Tian Shenyu is still drinking in the study, which is his biggest hobby, collecting all kinds of fine wine in the world, and savoring it every day before going to bed.

Tian Shenyu tasted the wine at this time is Meishou wine from the capital, he loves it very much, collected dozens of bottles, he especially likes the small bottle of Meishou wine, he is over sixty years old, can no longer drink as when he was young, must pay attention to maintenance, this small bottle of wine is just right for him.

Tian Shenyu poured a full glass of wine, and was just about to pick it up, when a chuckle came from behind him, "Tian Gong drinks alone, isn't it lonely?" ”

Tian Shenyu trembled with fright, Huo Di turned around, and found a tall man in black standing behind him, a black sword already coldly pressed against his neck.

Tian Shenyu slowly calmed down, quickly thought of countermeasures in his heart, but asked in his mouth, "How did Your Excellency get in?" ”

"There are loopholes in the defense of your own soldiers, but you don't care about the front."

"But I don't have a back window here!"

Guo Song sneered, "You don't have to waste time, it's pointless to ask these questions now." ”

Tian Shenyu sighed, "I can order the fleet to leave." ”

Guo Song smiled and said: "I heard that Brother Ling robbed Yangzhou and got a rare jade, and Tian Gong also showed off its beauty at the banquet, known as Xiaohe's bi, can you lend me a look?" ”

Tian Shenyu's heart suddenly ignited a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly said: "The jade bi is in the brocade box on the shelf behind you, I can give it to you, I just ask Your Excellency to spare my life." ”

Guo Song shook his head and said lightly: "You are wrong, every time I kill an important person, I have to take a treasure as a trophy, this is my rule, killing Li Fuguo is the same, killing Yu Ling Xuan is the same, and Tian Gong will not be an exception!" ”

Tian Shenyu was shocked, rolled to the ground, and was about to shout, but he felt a cold neck, and he didn't know anything.

Guo Song cut off Tian Shenyu's head with a sword, wiped the blood on the sword on him, put the sword into the sheath, turned around and took a fine box on the Bogu shelf, which was indeed a rare jade, white and shining, without a trace of flaw.

"What a treasure!"

Guo Song wrapped the jade bi in a cloth, put it in his waist bag, and dipped the cloth in blood to write a line of big characters on the wall: 'Betray the king of Yongjia County, kill him as an example!' ’

Anyway, this black cauldron will let Yu Chaoen carry it first.
