Chapter 68: Rise to Fame
The first update is coming)
A few of the martial artists were in three groups, and they were Song Zheng's personal disciples, and they all held back their vomiting and stood up straight. Song Zheng picked four and let them control the scene. Waving their hands at the rest, these martial artists hurried back to the martial arts courtyard.
By the time Lu Shoubei and Hu Tongxue arrived here with people, it was already dusk. When the two saw the scene in the alley, they were shocked. Immediately, the officials were arranged to clean up the scene, and the injured were simply bandaged, and the dead were wrapped in a white cloth and put side by side. In the end, the dead and wounded loaded three carts and pulled them all to the yamen.
The lobby of the Mizhou Governor's Mansion has never been so lively, and more than 20 people are in pain, kneeling who can kneel, sitting who can't, and lying down in a faint. The eleven who died were wrapped in white cloth and placed side by side on the side of the lobby. Zhizhou Hu Tongxue sat in the lobby. Since Song Zheng was a guest teacher of the Martial Arts Academy, Lu Shoubei, who was the chief teacher of the Martial Arts Academy, was an observer. Song Jue and Zhu were also called, and when they saw so many dead and injured people, they were very frightened. Seeing that Song Zheng was unscathed, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still worried. When many Mizhou people heard that the Iron Dragon Gang was over, they all gathered outside the Zhizhou Mansion, and there were five or six hundred people.
A servant next to him muttered a few words beside Hu Tongxue, and then Hu Tongxue slapped the wood in shock and said loudly: "The ruffians fought viciously, eleven people died and twenty-two people were injured." Since the founding of the Great Qi, Mizhou City has never been there. Song Zheng, as a student of the Academy of Literature, a teacher of the Academy of Martial Arts, and the son of Mr. Song, why would you be involved in this matter, come from the truth! ”
Song Zheng knelt on the ground and arched his hand, and said, "My lord, the little one went to the garrison mansion this morning to visit the chief teacher, Lord Xi Lu." After coming out of the garrison at noon, I walked home. Passing by a Shanxi noodle restaurant for dinner, he ran into two ruffians who extorted the shopkeeper. After the man ran away, he gathered more than 30 people, armed with sticks, and tried to take revenge on the way home. After knocking down one person, he ran into the alley and hid in a small courtyard. Who knew that the neighbors of the small courtyard here were the strongholds of this group. When he heard what they said about the Iron Dragon Gang, he was so frightened that he fled immediately, and the four people who came out of the small courtyard chased after him. Unfamiliar with the terrain under the ground, ran into a dead end. Although one person was knocked down, he was blocked by two leaders holding sharp knives at the mouth of the alley, and the other went to call the rest of the gang. The little one couldn't, so he had to use the short sword that Lu Shoubei had just given him to cut the iron lock on the door of the house in the alley, enter the courtyard, and plug the door shut. I wanted to climb on the roof of the house and escape, but I heard this group say that they wanted to go to the literary academy to kill my parents, and the little one couldn't, so he had to use a trick ......"
Next, Song Zheng didn't dare to tell a lie, after all, there were so many living people watching, and he couldn't be allowed to talk nonsense. Of course, the pill that was thrown into Zhou Dahong's arms was "mistakenly thrown". In addition, Song Gongzi still emphasized his grievances, fears, shocks, surprises, and sympathy for the victims.
Involving Gao Qichang and the owner of the noodle restaurant, Hu Tongxue sent officials to detain the two people, and the two had already received a warning from Song Zheng, so naturally they would not confess any seventh master. Gao Qichang said that he mistakenly joined the gang, was coerced by the gang leader, and went to the noodle restaurant to blackmail. The owner of the noodle shop said that he was blackmailed by the ruffians, but fortunately he was taught by the Song Dynasty to act bravely.
During the detention of Gao Qichang and the others, Hu Tongxue interrogated the gang members who were still able to speak, and the gang heard that it was just a dumb medicine, and expressed great indignation at Song Zheng's tricks, but they did not dare to lie in terms of facts, and they were much the same as what Song Zheng said, and the charges of murder were naturally put on others.
At this time, when the people outside heard that the Iron Dragon Gang was over, they were full of voices and shouted angrily against the Iron Dragon Gang. Especially those who have been blackmailed, they jointly accused the Iron Dragon Gang of doing evil, and even wrote a bloody letter. The people elected four elders, presented the blood letter to the court, and pleaded for Song Zheng.
The public is angry, and Hu Tongxue is no longer soft. I asked for details again, such as where the dumb medicine came from, whether the short sword was given by Lu Shoubei, etc. Lu Hengshan naturally covered up the matter of the short sword for him, otherwise, if he carried a sharp blade with him, he would be suspected of plotting against him. As for those dumb medicines that have made contributions, Song Zheng said that he had studied medicine with the senior doctor in the village, although these medicines are dumb medicines, but a small amount of them can cure sore throat, dryness and phlegm, so he took some and wanted to study the ingredients in them. Song Jue next to him naturally came forward to confirm that Song Zheng had indeed followed Gao Lang as a middle school doctor, but Gao Langzhong had been poisoned by the evil people in the village.
Regarding the murder of Song Jue's father and Song Jiazhuang Langzhong, Hu Tongxue also heard about it, and immediately nodded.
After the interrogation, the secretary (equivalent to the secretary) who was in charge of the record next to him filled the case with nearly 100 pieces of paper. Since the truth of the case was revealed, Hu Tongxue also had to show the prestige of "Hu Qingtian", let his family identify the dead and go home, and put the living in prison, and then interrogate after his injuries were healed, and after the crime was identified, he should be beaten and exiled. He also sent many officials to pursue the victory, and the whole city searched for the rest of the Iron Dragon Gang. As for Song Zheng, Hu Tongxue specially ordered someone to take out twenty taels of silver from the treasury to give it to him as a reward for his bravery, and in addition, Hu Zhizhou also prepared a plaque of "Loyalty, Filial Piety, and Righteousness" and sent it to the Song house.
After the case was questioned, it was midnight, and Lu Shoubei led people to escort Song Zheng's family back to the Wenyuan. Hu Tongxue also personally sent Song Zheng out, and the people outside cheered, and some even wept with tears in their eyes, kneeling on the ground, thanking Hu Qingtian for handling the case fairly, thanking Lu Shoubei for his insight, and thanking Song Zheng for removing a harm to Micheng City. Hu Tongxue and Lu Hengshan were both smiling, and their relationship was also a lot more harmonious. Song Zheng secretly complained, as a thief, he didn't want to be famous. In addition, after losing so many medicines, Song Zheng was also quite heartbroken, what a good thing, it was all used up at once. I don't know if Ming'er understands this recipe, so I went back and asked, if it doesn't work, it's really useful to have thirty or fifty pounds.
After this day, Song Zheng's story spread in Mizhou City, because it was really thrilling, the storyteller compiled it into a book, called "Song Xiaolang Eliminates Gangsters with One Hand", and gave a speech in the book field. What "help when the road is uneven", "witty, brave and skillful escape", "forced to use tricks to save parents", "gangsters have been killed and injured in infighting" and so on. Soon, the neighboring Qingzhou, Yizhou, and Laizhou all heard about it, and even in Qizhou, where Licheng is located, his reputation was spread.
There were so many people who died this time that Hu Tongxue had to report it. Of course, Hu Tongxue polished the case, and the protagonist became "Hu Qingtian" himself: Hu Zhizhou was aware of everything, and had already found out that the Iron Dragon Gang was evil, and was arranging a net to catch them all. It happened that Song Zheng, a student of the Academy of Literature and a professor of the Academy of Martial Arts, was intercepted by the Iron Dragon Gang because of his righteousness and bravery, so he personally led people to arrest him, and finally wiped out the outlaws. As for Song Zheng, it is simple to say that he is not afraid of danger, and skillfully uses drugs to treat diseases to provoke infighting among the people, and after the arrival of the officials, he will be rescued.
- There are benefits to the leadership, since ancient times.
Even though Hu Tongxue embezzled a lot of Song Zheng's credit, Hou Wenxian, the appeasement envoy of Shandong Road, still ordered Hu Tongxue and Song Zheng to be commended, and specially gave Song Zheng a hundred taels of silver to show his name.
Despite fame and fortune, Song Zheng was still a little restless. On the night he returned to the Academy, he invited Lu Hengshan to the house and informed the Mizhou Dark Eagle of his involvement. Of course, he would never say anything about killing the two Dark Eagles in Michigan, otherwise, the Imperial City Division would have to settle accounts with him. In Song Zheng's mouth, the Mizhou Dark Eagle instructed the Iron Dragon Gang to embarrass him because he saw him and Yang Tong together, and then entered the garrison mansion and came out, so he intercepted him and wanted to find out the details of the Lu garrison.
Lu Hengshan was furious after hearing this, and scolded Mizhou Dark Eagle for being bold, and actually hit the idea on his head. When Song Zheng said that he was afraid of retaliation, Lu Hengshan immediately said: "Song Zheng, you don't have to worry, I will send two people to guard your house, and send someone to Xingyuan Gambling House to warn them, if the Mizhou Dark Eagle dares to touch half a hair of you, I will take their nest!" Then, Lu Hengshan called two good men in the army, one named Xiao Da and the other named Chi Zhiming, and asked them to stay in the Song family for a long time to protect the safety of the Song house.
Although Song Gongzi achieved his goal, he was rarely ashamed in his heart for two seconds.
Xiao Da and Chi Zhiming are both about 20, and they are both commanders in the army. These two guys are in the barracks every day, they are simply bored, this time in Song Zheng's house, not only eat and drink well, but also have a beautiful woman like Ming'er to catch the eye, plus Xiaoping is not what it used to be after entering the city, and it is also a middle-class appearance, and the two of them will soon be happy. Song Zheng mingled with the two of them, and his brother called away. These two people have good martial arts and are good opponents for Ming'er, and Ming'er has gained a lot of practical experience. Of course, both of them learned some small kung fu in hand-to-hand combat from Song Zheng, and Song Zheng also learned some sword techniques in the army from them.
In the next ten days, in addition to going to the martial arts academy to exercise and teach, Song Zheng never left the gate of the academy again, and studied honestly. Bei Suo came once and reported the movements of Yao Changqing and He Enze. After these two people learned about Song Zheng's killing of the Iron Dragon Gang, they didn't dare to act rashly, and even He Entao stopped spreading rumors about Song Zheng and Lu Yan, and it seemed that they had temporarily died down. However, based on Song Zheng's observation, Yao Changqing's city mansion is quite deep, and maybe there are some conspiracies and tricks.
On the morning of the first day of the third lunar month, a man in his twenties came to Song's house and asked to see Song Zheng. After Chi Zhiming led him to Song Zheng's room, Song Zheng saw that it was the one who knew medical skills from the Iron Dragon Gang who escaped that day. He said to Chi Zhiming: "Brother Chi, this person is my fellow countryman. Then he greeted the man affectionately and asked him to sit down. Chi Zhiming didn't think much about it, turned around and went out.
After Chi Zhiming closed the door outside, Song Zheng put away his smile, sat down quietly, picked up the tea, took a sip, and didn't speak. The man stood up and clenched his fists: "In Xia Yantang, thank you for the grace of Gongzi for sparing his life!" (Ask for collections, ask for flowers, ask for comments)
