Chapter 333: A Coincidental Encounter

A series of major vicious incidents such as the mysterious loss of the crossbow component of the god arm, the fire at Cuijiabao, and the invasion and looting of pirates in the core area of Yanshan Mansion have occurred one after another, making the government and army in the Yanwang Mansion and the area near Yanjing unprecedentedly nervous.

It was not the right time for Zhao Yue to go south and go home at this time.

In order to arrest the remnants of the Cui family, the government in the Yanjing area is conducting a strict investigation of all suspicious elements who have left the Yanjing area.

According to the government, the government believes that:

The pirates are based overseas, and they only use the convenience of raids to grab things, not to invade the territory of Liao, nor to overthrow the rule, although they have infringed on the interests of Liao, and they are a great scourge of Liao, but it is not the most important problem that Yanshan Mansion should worry about.

At least not for now.

Jurchen rises.

The only way for the Jin State to exist is to destroy the Great Liao State, and he is extremely brave and good at fighting, and defeats the proud Great Liao warriors again and again, seriously threatening the national fortune and safety of the Great Liao State, and is the sworn enemy of the Great Liao State.

The two sides have you and no me, and the momentum is like fire and water, and they don't share the sky.

In this way, the Cui family, which is very powerful near Yanjing, is actually a spy of the Jin State, which is a big problem.

The Cui family is a super large Han family with many children.

But not many of them died in Cuijiabao and were arrested and executed in the officialdom, and most of them disappeared.

It should be that the Cui family was afraid that leaking the secret of the secret to the Jin Kingdom would lead to the destruction of the family, so they left behind and arranged for the clansmen to abscond early, and even ran to the Jin Kingdom to enjoy the wealth obtained by betraying the Great Liao Kingdom.

Da Liao is not thin on the Cui family, and the local government has always been very tolerant of it. Such a family actually rebelled?

This is simply madness and ingratitude. His heart can be punished.

Hateful!

King Yan's confidant even thought that the missing divine arm crossbow was caused by the Cui family's collusion with the Jurchens.

The Cui family had a branch in the Song state. The forces infiltrated the Liao and Song dynasties, and there were sufficient conditions to steal secrets from the king of Anqing in advance and notify the Jurchens to complete the interception and looting. Afterwards, collect and cover up the Jurchen murderer and dirty, and then find a chance to turn away.

As for those crossbows, they were lost in Yanjing South. The Cui family lives in Yanjing North. The arrested members of the Cui family's officialdom knew nothing about the family's big secrets and this matter. The staff believes that this is exactly the cunning and vicious hatred of the Cui family.

He hated it so much that he vowed to punish all members of the Cui family with the most vicious punishment.

As for the anonymous report of the Cui family incident.

The government's comprehensive analysis believes that it should be that when the enemy family looted Cui's Fort, they inadvertently found out that the Cui family was originally a spy of the Jin State, and in order to further retaliate against other members of the Cui family who were not in the fort, they voted for Yan Wangfu, and they borrowed a knife to kill people.

The Cui family is an old Han family in Daliao, and it is very likely that Yu Xin will use its long-term infiltration power. continued to lurk in Yanjing to engage in conspiracy activities, and in order to prevent this, the government strictly ordered a search and arrest.

At this time, Zhao Yue and his entourage took the mother of Liu Er and Liu San's brothers and Xue Limei, two weak women, to set up a carriage and hurry, which was not suitable for fighting, nor for galloping horses.

The Yanjing Intelligence Station smoothly returned south for Zhao Yue. Specially prepared the 'ID card' and the waist card used by the personnel of the Yanwang Mansion to perform secret missions.

Both of these are, of course, fake, imitations, but enough to confuse the real with the fake.

The waist card does not confront the relevant managers of Yanwangfu, and it will not be exposed.

With Cangzhao's scientific and technological means and the situation mastered by years of lurking in Yanjing. The intelligence station did this, it was completely pediatric.

The waist card represents the temporary privilege granted by the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Great Liaoning, which is convenient for passage. It is convenient to seek help from the local government and the military.

Of course, this toy can't be easily shown. It is necessary to be consistent with the low-key identity of carrying out secret missions, and it is more important to avoid being unlucky enough to run into a member of the Yanwang Mansion who has mastered the use of the waist card. If you don't have to, you can't bluff people.

Xue Limei disguised herself as Miss Khitan, Liu's mother pretended to be an old mother, Wu Neng or Xu Jin, who could drive the carriage, set up the carriage, and the others walked with the carriage, seemingly accompanying the slaves and guards, leaving Yanjing and calmly going south, encountering repeated inspections, but it was still smooth.

Gradually moving away from Yanjing, Zhao Yue deliberately chose a few remote roads to walk, and soon changed from two-legged to four-legged.

The "guards" were all on horseback, and they were two horses and one man.

The waist bag is bulging. The carriage has also changed from a donkey to a pair of good horses.

The behavior of the group is still low-key, but the travel configuration has risen from ordinary to rich.

This is the harvest of horses that have been cut off from the black shops that have been cut off for the horses that have left the martial law.

War not only brings countries to the brink of extinction and people into misery, but also causes turmoil in people's hearts and unleashes evil thoughts.

Those who used to be honest and self-respecting may begin to spoil the water; Law-abiding merchants are starting to play black.

In the past, inns that were opened in remote places because of their weak power or close to their homes were forcibly moved away by the Han people and taken over by the fierce and bold Khitans, many of them took advantage of the convenience of the remote location to secretly make money and kill people.

Zhao Yue knew that in history, the elephant of Da Liao was gnawed down by the strong and crazy ant Jurchen in ten years, and the Khitan people had a million people who went to the west to establish a country with thousands of Yanshan Mansion troops led by a strong man of the royal family, and most of the remaining chose to stay in the slave and servant army of the Jurchens who were willing to be slaves and servants, and became the vanguard of the southward attack on the Northern Song Dynasty and the massacre of the Han people.

Khitan wolf, kill one more, you can have one less, Zhao Yue took the Khitan black shop with his hand.

He took advantage of the chaos of the end times to achieve his goal easily, but he felt a burst of sadness.

China, the land of the four wars.

But he tried his best to be gentle and frugal, and he only knew how to face the loess and be a cow and horse with his back to the sky; Obviously, it is necessary to use scientific and technological means to make up for the weakness of the nation that it is not fierce and not good at fighting, but it despises science and technology, and emphasizes the importance of the imperial examination; Obviously, the small body that eats chaff and wild vegetables is not as strong as the meat-eating enemy race, but he has a high crown and wide robe and big sleeves, making his actions more clumsy and easy to bully.

Isn't this tying up your own hands and feet, just waiting for others to slaughter and loot to your heart's content?

If such a country does not die, who will die?

Zhao Yue thought maliciously that the Han nation could survive until later generations. I'm afraid that it depends on the enthusiasm to have children.

What is lamented is that the Great Song Dynasty lacks war horses. Those who don't have the courage and ability to rob the enemy country have almost been blind for a hundred years.

And the Liao State. There are many horses that can be used as war horses, and you can get a few, or even a dozen, in a random black shop. He only cleaned up a few black shops casually, and the number of horses he got reached dozens of horses, but he took them away, it was too eye-catching, and he was a little reluctant to throw them away.

In order to reduce the danger and trouble of the inventory and ensure the safety of Liu's mother and Xue Limei, Zhao Yue still decided to discard the extra horses.

That's when it happened. They encountered a group of southward Khitans who were threatening and scolding a group of Han people in a roadside clearing.

This should be a big tribe that fled after the defeat of the Liaodong War, but there are still four or five hundred knights who control the strings, and two or three hundred women who ride horses, all of them are good horses, of which thirty or forty are exceptionally good, and a few are BMWs.

In addition, there are about 100 horses pulling nomadic tribes' items such as yurts, which are actually war horses.

They also have hundreds of adult sheep and a dozen adult cattle.

It should be retained, and no matter how short of food there is all the way to the south, I have not been willing to eat it.

Of course, it may also be that this tribe has special roots and was taken care of by the government when they arrived in Yanshan Mansion. The resulting cattle and sheep are used as seeds.

Seeing the style of the person who was protected by his subordinates and was facing Han Min's arrogant and fierce face, I was afraid that his identity was not simple.

Zhao Yue couldn't understand the Khitan language, and he didn't know what the Khitan people were scolding, but he was stunned when he looked at the group of Han people carefully.

It was actually a villager from Cuijiabao.

He knew that several of the women were the Cui family's maid-in-law who robbed the money in the treasury that night.

At this time. These seven or eight hundred villagers were staring at the Khitans silently and angrily. The men were facing the scimitars with shovels horizontally.

Seeing the body of a half-naked Han girl lying on the ground, Zhao Yue probably understood the reason for the confrontation between the two sides.

The villagers of Cuijiapu also don't know whether they should be lucky or unlucky.

The night of the attack on Cuijiabao. They heard the screams of the fight and woke up from their sleep. He didn't care about the main house, but was afraid to check further and close the doors and windows tightly at home. Still see the raging fire engulfing the inviolable castle house high above.

I don't want the disaster to befall them, but the robbers have kindness and a lot of money and food.

The small people have the survival wisdom of the small people.

When they knew that the Cui family might perish and that the village was going to be forced to move south by the government, they had seen the Han people in neighboring villages and towns being driven away, after Zhao Yue led away the Liao army, they did not fight for money and food to delay time, but under the decision and organization of the high-ranking people, the money and grain belonged to everyone first, and then it was divided equally among households, and the strongest and sharpest men worked together to grab all the money, and it was too late to divide it, so they buried it first; The other men and the women of the family went to carry food back to their homes, and went to the mansion to grab quilts, clothes, and everything that was useful and easy to take.

After quickly moving out what was needed, because the mansion and the storehouse were brick and tiled, and there was no fire caused by the surrounding thatched houses, they deliberately set fire from the inside, and completely burned down the buildings in the castle into ruins, covering up the removal of food and mansion goods.

The grain depot was not emptied.

They knew that if they moved more, they would be confiscated when they moved out, so they didn't bother to do that, and the rest was simply burned down, and they could also disguise the scene.

Luxurious quilts, they hide them with their own tattered quilt sets.

The next day, the government fiercely sealed off the village early in the morning, surveyed the castle, but did not search the villagers' homes, and was about to interrogate the villagers if they knew what they saw, but suddenly and quickly withdrew, which greatly relieved the nervous villagers, and quickly distributed the money to each household.

Because every family has a flatbed truck that carries grain from the field. So they put a mezzanine under the cart with a wooden plank, and hid money and shady things in it.

A few days later, sure enough, the government came to force them to move south. This shows that the Cui family is really finished.

When they moved to an inn and had no tents to stay in, they covered the cart with mats to block the front and back entrances, so that women and children could sit or sleep on quilts to protect them from the cold of early spring.

When leaving, each family had more food, but the amount did not increase too significantly.

The officers and soldiers did not suspect it, and only routinely searched and confiscated the gold and silver, and it was normal that a lot of money was not found in this gang of poor ghosts.

The villagers were fortunate to learn that they had been reduced from a free tenant to a hapless Khitan nobleman's ploughing slave, and were escorted on the road by this group of Khitans.

Even the officials of the Goddess of Liberty in later generations only used various names to skillfully kidnap and exploit public opinion, and they did not really take the wishes and life and death of the grass people seriously. The Khitan government in this world will not care about the honor and disgrace and will of the grass people of different races, and will reduce the Han free people in this village to slaves at will, and they will be degraded, and they will not care what the villagers think.

This group of Khitans don't look at being beaten by the Jurchens and become bereaved dogs, but they are still majestic and domineering towards the Han people.

The migration of misery began.

The Khitan people have a yurt house to live in, they are accustomed to living, there are many people and livestock, and they do not live in inns, and they eat and stay in the open open all the way, and they don't care about the cold pain and sickness of the villagers sleeping in the open air. This, the villagers had expected it, they had money in their hearts, and they could bear it.

However, then, several Khitan warriors drank wine, took advantage of the excitement to wantonly rape the villagers' wives, and showed off their contempt and ridiculed them Han people as cowardly waste, which made the villagers angry, but they dared not speak out and endured it......

At noon today, I was eating and resting on the side of the road, and a Khitan man drank too much and wanted to rape a girl in public. The Han people do not despise chastity and are not ashamed like the Khitans. The girl resisted desperately, causing the Khitan people to be unable to enjoy themselves, so she was annoyed and killed the girl with a knife.

The father, who was already angry but endured, saw the tragic death of his daughter, his eyes were red, and he suddenly burst into anger, so he didn't dare to really retaliate and kill, but slapped an iron on the back of the Khitan, and hit the guy screaming in pain and turned around like a mad beast and killed the man with another knife.

At this time, the hatred and contradictions between the two sides were completely aroused.

The Han people in Liaodi were influenced by the Khitans and Hu Feng, and they were wild and martial, not the quail Han of the Great Song Dynasty. These seven or eight hundred villagers, at least two thousand men, were furious, picked up the shovel and pointed at the four or five hundred scimitars, and staged the scene that Zhao Yue saw.

They dared to do this, and they were also influenced by Zhao Yue's attack on Cui Jiabao.

The villagers witnessed first-hand how the powerful and lofty Cui family, the former master, was easily destroyed overnight.

This made them deeply aware that what they feared was not necessarily so powerful and irresistible. Being a robber is also a happy choice, killing whoever you want, not being oppressed and trampled on, having a windfall, eating and drinking spicy food, and living a much better life than being a good person.

In the past, they also relied on holding together to survive under the double pressure of the Khitan and Cui families.

Now, this group of Khitans does not treat them as human beings, if they do not know how to restrain them, they still suffer from bullying and coercion, it is better to simply destroy them, rob the property, kill the cattle and sheep with them, and flee to the mountains on horseback and carts.

I don't believe that so many horses are ridden, and some of them are strong men who can't clean up these hundreds of Khitan lost dogs;

I don't believe that there are horses, there are scimitars, and if you work together to be a bandit, you won't be able to get along.

In Zhao Yue's eyes, the bloody Han people are precious.

He could see that although the number of these Khitans was much smaller than that of the village Han, they were all able to save their lives under the butcher's knife on the battlefield, and they all had real skills. Once the two sides make a move, the village Han who is afraid of many people will be defeated, and there will definitely be heavy casualties, and women and children will definitely suffer.

Zhao Yue really wanted to kill this group of Khitans who could only show ferocity to the Han people, but unfortunately there were two women who dragged him down and couldn't do it.
