Chapter XXVIII
When the people in the prisoner car shouted hoarsely that they were Wang Jian, a leader of the officials rode to the front in a rage, slapped the two escorts in front of him, and scolded loudly:
"You two idiots, don't you have brains that don't want to eat? Don't hurry up and plug the mouth of this thief! Fortunately, not many people heard it, if everyone in Yangzhou City knew about it, Xiangguo was angry, and the gods would not be able to save you and your family! β
After the leader of the officials finished speaking, he used a cloth to gag Wang Jian's mouth on the prisoner car, but Wang Jian's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't wait to devour people!
Zhang Xian and Nianxin happened to be next to the prisoner car, and they could hear it clearly, seeing this scene, Nianxin whispered to Zhang Xian:
"Xianggong, this Lord Wang Jian is a hero of the world, but it is rumored that Lord Wang died of illness last year? The concubine is sure that this is Lord Wang Jian in front of her, because Lord Wang is the concubine's life-saving benefactor! The concubine body saw Lord Wang with her own eyes, and there were very few Great Song Dynasty generals that the Tartars feared, but Lord Wang Jian was definitely one of them, when my father and I fled for our lives, we saw that the Tartars were chasing and killing, or this Lord Wang led the troops to kill from behind the Tartars, so as to save us who fled for their lives, why did the good people become the prisoners of the imperial court? Xianggong, can you save Lord Wang? β
Zhang Xian looked at Wang Jian's resolute demeanor, and listened to what his heart said, and suddenly thought of Wang Jian, a legendary figure in the late Southern Song Dynasty, this Wang Jian is a god in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Mengyuan army has fought hundreds of battles, and has always won more and lost less, the biggest military achievement is the first year of Kaiqing, Meng Ke Khan personally led a large army to besiege Hezhou, Wang Jian and the deputy general Zhang Jue stuck to Diaoyu City, and repelled the Mongolian army many times. Meng Ge sent Jin Guobao into Diaoyu City to surrender and was killed by Wang Jian. The Mengyuan army attacked for nine months, and Meng Ge was wounded by Wang Jian's whirlwind cannon, and the treatment was ineffective and died. The Mongol army was forced to retreat, known as the Battle of Diaoyu City. Wang Jian was awarded the envoy of the Ningyuan Army with merit. Later, he was transferred to the post of Hubei pacification envoy, because he was rejected by Jia Yidao, Jingding was reappointed in March of the fourth year, and he was reappointed as the governor of Hezhou and the internal security envoy, and in March of the fifth year of Jingding, he died of depression and anger, and he was loyal and strong. In other words, this Wang Jian died last year, but who is this living Wang Jian?
Zhang Xian was silent for a moment, I don't know if the history was written incorrectly, or because he crossed over and caused the butterfly effect of historical events, there was actually a Wang Jian here? Anyway, this Wang Jian is simply a generous gift from God to himself, in terms of public and private, this person is saved! Then he said to his heart:
"Lady, are you really sure that this is Lord Wang Jian? The Wang Jian who killed MΓΆngke Khan? β
"Xianggong, the concubine will never be mistaken, this is a life-saving benefactor, how can the concubine admit her mistake?"
"Okay, lady, it seems that there is a lot of strange things here, since Lord Wang is the savior of the lady and the father-in-law, and naturally he is also the savior of the husband, for the husband to drag them down, the lady will go home immediately, let Niu Dameng take a hundred of the strongest family members, bring weapons, and gather in the grove outside the north city of Yangzhou as soon as possible to wait for me, where is the only way to go to the imperial court! The stakes are very high, this matter can not be said to anyone except Niu Dameng, including the lord and the lady, without further ado, go quickly, lady! β
After Zhang Xian finished speaking, he drank a large bowl of wine, walked directly to the front of the prisoner car, blocking the way of the prisoner car, and Nianxin was suddenly frightened and overwhelmed! Isn't this husband going to die? How dare you stop the prisoner car? What if there is a good one? But the matter of the bus generation is urgent, and I can't take care of many worries and worries, so I hurriedly ran home!
At this time, when the first few officials saw that someone dared to stop the prisoner's car of the imperial court, they immediately drew their knives and guarded, and surrounded Zhang Xian, and the leader of the officials hurriedly stepped forward and shouted at Zhang Xian:
"Where did the chaotic party come from, they dared to intercept the prisoner car of the imperial court, are they tired of being alive and want to die?"
Zhang Xian stood proudly, took out a sign from his arms, and said calmly:
"It's a good mouth, and when you open your mouth, you can say that people are chaotic parties, since you are also a member of the yamen, you must recognize this thing, right? Is it that the official doesn't care, the official only cares about this prisoner car! β
The leader of the officials took the sign angrily and looked at it, and said contemptuously:
"It turned out to be the Yangzhou grain officer, your food and salary officer and our Yamen of the Lin'an Criminal Department are places where eight poles can't hit together, why did you stop the prisoner car of the imperial court prisoner today? Even if your county order comes, you don't have the right to control our Lin'an Criminal Department to escort Qin prisoners, right? If you know each other, hurry up and let go of it, don't look for involuntary! β
Zhang Xian smiled and said:
"Brother Tai is right, my Yangzhou grain officer and your Lin'an Yamen are indeed irrelevant, but now the Tartar Koubian, the border pass military situation is urgent., this official is ordered to be responsible for all matters such as the financing of grain and grass in Yangzhou City, and now, I am in a hurry to escort grain and grass to the border pass, but there is a shortage of cars and horses to escort grain and grass! When the official sees you prisoners, you are powerful and good-handed, what kind of prisoner car are you sitting in? This official now orders that your prisoner carts will be requisitioned to escort grain and grass! It's all for the court, and please don't embarrass the official! β
After listening to Zhang Xian's words, the leader of the government immediately bent down with a smile, this is the first time since the opening of the world that Pangu has heard that someone wants to requisition a prisoner car to escort grain and grass, it is simply an ancient anecdote, the leader of the government said with a smile:
"You big food officer, you have no grade or rank, you want to requisition a prisoner car to escort grain and grass, are you a fool? Is it an official body obtained through the back door of spending money? Hahahaha, I'm laughing to death, and I want to requisition the prisoner car to escort grain and grass! How many stones of grain and grass can this big prisoner cart escort? Hahahaha......."
The people around who are watching the excitement can't help but laugh, but recently the imperial court has lost one after another, and everyone also hopes that the imperial court can defeat the Tartars! It's just that this grain official dared to requisition the prisoner car of the imperial court, isn't he crazy?
At this time, two abnormal people appeared in the crowd, there was a man in black in the crowd on the left, wearing a wide Confucian shirt and black soap clothes, wearing a cloak, and a black gauze like a scarf, naturally just covering his face, dimly unable to see men and women, let alone age, but his eyes were staring at Wang Jian who was struggling on the prisoner car! The other one was about ten zhang away from the prisoner car, staring at Zhang Xian intently, and when he heard that Zhang Xian was going to requisition the prisoner car of the imperial court, he shook his head and turned to leave!
Who is Zhang Xian? That's the military academy cadets of later generations, tracking, anti-tracking, that's a compulsory course, faintly feeling that someone in the crowd is staring at you, this feeling is a kind of subconscious, life and death, this is the capital of life! But Zhang Xian can be sure that the purpose of this stalker is not to kill himself for the time being, because Zhang Xian can't feel murderous! Zhang Xian simply didn't care about this person, solved the matter in front of him first, and laughed at the leader of the government hahaha:
"Hahaha, since you think it's funny, then laugh, come on, come on, all the fathers and elders of Yangzhou City to be a witness, this official was ordered to be the Yangzhou grain and salary officer in danger, the imperial court strictly ordered, it is necessary to ensure that the grain and grass are escorted to the border with quality and quantity, so that the soldiers can eat their stomachs and defeat the Tartars, but at present, Yangzhou City is in urgent need of cars and horses, one more car, just transport a few more stones of grain and grass, and save the lives of a few more Song soldiers! Originally, some people asked the grain and salary officials to go to each house and forcibly apportioned a carriage and horses, but the grain and salary officer remembered that the life of the people in Yangzhou City was not easy, and he resolutely did not forcibly requisition the apportionment of carriages and horses from among the people, so he had to requisition this imperial court prisoner car, and the people in this prisoner car are good at hands and feet, why can't they walk? Please comment on the reasoning, is it really necessary to apportion it from each household?! β
The people around are not stupid, the dead friends are not dead and poor, the county officials are not as good as the current management, if this food and salary official really wants to engage in apportionment, everyone will have to suffer, so he began to talk nonsense:
"The heart of the food officer and the Bodhisattva, this is unbearable to increase the burden of our people! Prisoner carts should be requisitioned! Well done. We, the people, support you! β
"What this official said makes sense, this prisoner looks a little older, but he is burly, and he has no problem walking by himself! There are priorities, all for the safety of the court, what is a prisoner car! β
"Yes, yes, a prisoner cart can also feed a dozen soldiers, so that they can go into battle to kill the enemy!"
As soon as the head of the criminal department heard this, the people around him chattered, and the direction of the wind changed greatly, and they all began to speak to this food and salary officer with a sick head, and his heart began to become anxious, this prisoner is related to his own life, it is the person from above who repeatedly explained, this time the escort prisoner must not make a mistake, if you make a mistake, you will have to die! At present, the roads are blocked by the common people, and now is definitely not the time to deal with this neuropathy, so I can only get out first, and then buy sycophants in other places to hurry, so I said hatefully:
"Good boy, Yangzhou City Grain Officer, Lao Tzu remembers you, you want a prisoner car, Lao Tzu will give it to you, but you have to think clearly, if you offend the Yamen of the Criminal Department, you will not even be able to save your life in the future!"
How could Zhang Xian be threatened by this little servant? I said in my heart if you have the life to go back! Zhang Xian snorted and said:
"Whether he will lose his life in the future, the salary officer doesn't know! However, if the emperor can't complete the mission, the grain and grass can't be sent to the border pass, and the official will lose his life immediately. β
