Chapter 328: Two Old Men
Let's say that Gu Haotian saw a familiar name in the roster, and he was excited to entangle the Zhu prisoner, but he was scared enough, only to see him stammering back:
"The prisoners in the prison used to be in charge of Dong Zhai, and the little one really doesn't know how he is now!"
"Take me to see it, if there is a mistake, I will not spare you and others."
Gu Haotian had already heard about the darkness in the prison city of Shamen Island, and he couldn't help but be anxious for a while, so he picked up the prisoner and walked out.
The prison was in a high-walled compound on the west side of the prison city, and when everyone entered, they saw more than ten rows of low stone houses, but two or three of them formed a courtyard each, and many team members were counting the prisoners at this time. Gu Haotian and the others, under the leadership of the Zhu Prisoner, came to one of the courtyards, and smelled a strong odor when they walked to the door, and he didn't care about this, and quickly walked towards the cell registered in the roster, but when he pushed the door in, he was stunned for a while, this is a place for people to stay! The image of the German concentration camp in the later film "Schindler's List" instantly came to his mind.
"It's Gu Haotian from Jeju who came!"
When Gu Haotian was in a daze, a weak voice suddenly sounded. He immediately woke up, and then his heart beat wildly, and he hurriedly looked for a sound, only to see a thin old man leaning in the mess of grass, and his bright eyes were looking at him.
"Teacher! The student is late! β
Gu Haotian ran over in three steps and two steps, and knelt in the messy grass with a "Bu Tong".
"Sure enough, it's Haotian, how did you come here?"
"The teacher is not a place to speak, so let's leave first and wait for the students to speak slowly later." After that, Gu Haotian stretched out his hand and wanted to pick up the old man.
"Wait, this Lord Liu is even weaker, it's important to send him out for treatment first."
Gu Haotian saw that there was still a person lying on the inside of the old man, but he was already dying.
"Bian Xiang ......"
Gu Haotian had just spoken, but he saw that he had already squatted down and hugged the old man.
"Zaixing, you stared at this surnamed Zhu, and cleared out all the officials in the prison cell, and you missed a question."
After drinking two bowls of rice soup, the old man's spirit obviously improved, he hurriedly served him to freshen up, and called the military doctor to diagnose it, and then he saw the ceremony again.
Who do you say this old man is, who makes Gu Haotian care so much, it turns out to be the former Jeju Governor Zhang Shuye. When he saw his name in the roster at that time, he couldn't believe it, so he thought that this was the notorious Salmon Island, and hurried to find it, but fortunately, the person was still alive, which made him feel much more at ease.
"How did the teacher come to this filthy place?"
Uncle Zhang left Jeju for more than a year, but what happened during this period made a famous old minister fall to Salmon Island, Gu Haotian was very confused, and only then did he have the opportunity to ask.
"It's not easy for the ministers of the Zhou Dynasty to come to this Shamen Island, and if any of the powerful ministers in the court send a message, won't they just come?"
Uncle Zhang smiled self-deprecatingly as he spoke, then looked at Gu Haotian who was puzzled, and continued:
"In the early summer of last year, the old man left his job and went to the capital, and after living idle for more than a month, Tong Guan let me serve beside him, how could the old man be with this thief in his life, the traitorous eunuch was invited many times and failed to succeed in making trouble and angry, in front of the emperor
Falsely accused me of sabotaging the Golden Zhou Alliance, and was finally sent to Salmon Island. β
"That's the case, but the Great Zhou Dynasty is hopeless, but in this place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, it's a blessing to be able to save their lives." Gu Haotian couldn't help but feel emotional.
"Humph! This is also thanks to Tong Guan, the old thief, according to the cell boss, but it was he who told me to live here, and he would be recruited back to Beijing in the future, and it seems that he wants to humiliate me again. It's just that he never dreamed that Haotian would be here. β
Uncle Zhang said self-deprecatingly, but asked again:
"Tell me, why are you here today? What have you done with this Salmon Island? β
It's finally time! Gu Haotian said in his heart. In fact, since he met Uncle Zhang, he was preparing how to answer this question, and when he saw him ask, he breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he straightened out his thoughts, and then calmly talked about his experience in the past year.
There is no need to render in front of the wise, Gu Haotian started from entering Beijing to participate in the imperial examination, until the capture of Dengzhou this time, he really talked about it again, without a little bit of falsehood.
Uncle Zhang listened quietly all the time, sometimes showing his face, sometimes frowning, until Gu Haotian finished speaking, he still pondered silently, and only after a long time did he say:
"'The remnants are in tears and dust, and they look forward to Yunnan for another year.'" When Haotian made this sentence at the Luming banquet, the old man had hoped that you would regain the mountains and rivers after your birthday, but he didn't expect that the general trend of the world would change so quickly in the rest of the year. β
"Students have thanked their teachers for their teachings, and they will never dare to forget them in this life."
Gu Haotian immediately got up and saluted Zhang Shuye solemnly, and responded in a deep voice, but did not leave but continued:
"Resisting the Jurchen invasion is a matter of national cause, a matter of the survival of the Han people, the younger generations of students are sparse in learning, shallow and weak, I implore the teacher to stay and teach me!"
"The old man is old and frail, and after more than years of torture on Salmon Island, he is now unable to do anything, and he just wants to go back to his hometown for the rest of his life."
"Liangshan Manor is a good place to maintain health, there is also a famous doctor in the south of the Yangtze River An Daoquan is in charge, at the beginning of Lord Xu's condition is he recuperated, and now he is also living happily in the manor, it is better to live there to recuperate. Besides, if you go back now, you won't be able to escape the eyes and ears of the government, how can you live with peace of mind. β
"The old man can't decide this matter for a while, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Gu Haotian saw that Zhang Shuye did not explicitly refuse, and his heart suddenly filled with hope. At this time, he suddenly thought of the old man who had been rescued from the cell, and thought that the man must be his friend, and as long as he left that person in Liangshan for treatment, the old man would go with him. So he deliberately asked:
"Teacher, who is the one who came out of prison together, I think he is even weaker, and he should be treated as soon as possible."
"Another frustrated person with the same fate as the old man, his name is Liu Tao, is the former dynasty Jinshi, into the official reputation for several years, the year before last in the northwest and the Xixia people won a great victory, the court at that time promoted him to the Hui Pavilion to be systematized. This person is just and not good at flattery, and he had a dispute with Cai Jing in the court, and he found out what was wrong, so he sent him to this Shamen Island. A few days ago, Dong Qing, the owner of the village here, wanted to use him as a "bait" to feed the sharks, if it wasn't for the old man's efforts, I am afraid that he would have been buried in the belly of the fish. β
"Teacher, this Lord Liu is from Chong'an, Jianzhou?"
Gu Haotian was suddenly startled when he saw this, and immediately remembered the names of a father and son at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty
Chen, I couldn't help asking.
"How does Haotian know about this old man?"
"When the family teacher Zhou Tong was in Kansai, he was quite familiar with the generals in the army, and he once mentioned the name of Master Liu, and the boy remembered it by coincidence."
Gu Haotian hurriedly replied when he asked, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he had found a treasure in the secret way! It turned out that in his previous life, when he read Song Piercing Internet articles, he often saw Liu Ziyu's name, and later checked it on the computer, and he didn't want his father and son to be cattle people at the friendship of the two Song Dynasty.
His father was called Liu Tao, and after the fall of the capital after the "Jingkang Change", he was transferred to the forbidden middle school to escort. The Song court ceded land and paid reparations, and bent its knees to the Jin people to sue for peace, and Liu Tao was forced to send an envoy to negotiate peace with the Jin people. But the Jin people knew that he was a good general, so they sent a servant to shoot Han Zheng to persuade him to surrender, and promised to appoint him as a servant as long as he was obedient. This Liu Tao proudly wrote a suicide note: "The country is broken and the holy move is moved, the lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord humiliates the ministers to death", so he bathed and changed his clothes and hung the beams to martyrdom.
The son is called Liu Ziyu, this person is proficient in history at the age of ten, and at the age of eleven he lived a military life with his father.
Now that this Liu Tao has fallen into his hands, how can he be happy, and immediately he said to Zhang Shuye:
"Teacher, the treatment conditions on Salmon Island are limited, and you and Lord Liu are very weak, so we might as well go back to Dengzhou."
"It's okay, it's just that among the prisoners here, many of the prisoners are wronged people, so it is important for people to discern and not let them suffer again."
Uncle Zhang also knew Gu Haotian's thoughts, so he agreed to push the boat along the water.
In the side room, Liu Tao slowly woke up under the rescue of the military doctors. For more than a year on Salmon Island, he has looked at the mustard-like life every day, and he has looked down on life and death. It's just that the blood was not sprinkled on the territory of serving the country, but let the pickled and cool officials take it to feed the fish, but they felt a little worthless.
Where is this? At this time, Liu Tao suddenly realized that the environment around him was not right, and after yesterday's farce, he was originally weak and soon passed out. Just when he was confused, he saw two people coming in outside, one of whom was Uncle Zhang, who saved his life twice.
"Lord Liu, are you better?" Uncle Zhang came over and asked softly.
"What's going on here-here-?"
"Master Liu doesn't have to be surprised, but it was my student Gu Haotian who led someone to save me and wait for me to come out, as for all the experiences, after you recover, the old man will slowly tell you to listen, now that you are not in good health, you will go back to Dengzhou with me to extend medical treatment."
Liu Tao stayed on Gu Haotian for a while, a faint flash of surprise, and then said softly:
"That's the caseβthank you, old man!"
"The old man suffered this ordeal for no reason, not only for the younger generations to meet, but also for the younger generation, it is a matter of duty, and it is even more coincidental that there is a famous doctor in Jinling in my manor, An Daoquan, this person has superb medical skills, and he will not be cured, and he will definitely let the adults recover when he returns tomorrow."
At this time, Gu Haotian also stepped forward and replied respectfully.
Subsequently, Gu Haotian left Bian Xiang to preside over the overall situation on Shamen Island, but under the escort of Yang Zaixing and others, he took Zhang Shuye and Liu Tao, two bosses, on Ruan Xiaoqi's fast boat and went directly to Dengzhou.
In the next two days, taking advantage of the opportunity of Zhang Shuye and Liu Tao to recuperate, Gu Haotian discussed with Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong, Wu Yong, Yan Junqing, Ma Xian, Xu Ning, Shi Wengong, Li Bao and others, and agreed on a strategy to control and develop Dengzhou. Later, under the escort of the personal guard battalion, he took Zhang Shuye, Liu Tao, Sun Li, Zou Yuan, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Le He and others back to Liangshan first.
