Chapter 16: Loyalty and Treachery
Secret agents? Who?!
Jiang Fenglie exchanged glances with the black-robed old man, and looked directly at the bearded man: "General Fang, is there any evidence?" β
The bearded strong man smiled without saying a word, and the middle-aged man in the long-haired purple shirt beside him took out a white silk scroll with yellow veins and cloud thunder trim from his sleeve, and showed it to Qunhao: "This is the evidence provided by General Fang." He raised his hand and threw Bai Aya towards Jiang Fenglie.
Jiang Fenglie unfolded the white silk scroll, and the walled hall was quiet.
"What a big yuan hundred household officials!" Jiang Fenglie had a smile on his face, his eyes locked on the person present, and he shouted angrily: "Take it!" β
The door of the village was wide open, and several fierce axe men rushed in, overturning and pressing one person on the thirteenth chair on the left.
Ye Xiurong!
The crowd was in an uproar. Because this Ye Xiurong's background is not simple, he is one of the few Song army generals among the thirty-six heroes who participated in the Battle of Yushan. Although he is only an inconspicuous general, he has indeed experienced that bloody sea battle. He also recounted the war to Qunhao before, which was consistent with what another general, Zhang Wenxiu, and Ma Nanchun, the deputy capital of the army, said. Why did it suddenly become a fine work?
ββ¦β¦ When he was fighting with the Yuan thief, he saw Ye ordering the sergeant to break the mast and ask for surrender. The officials and prime ministers have all sunk into the sea, and Ye Mou's food monarch is so shameless that he actually surrendered to the enemy! The bearded man's radish thick fingers almost pierced Ye Xiurong's forehead, and he scolded, like angry King Kong, "This gathering of righteousness, I happened to meet this thief on the road, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to order someone to steal his package, and found this appointment proclamation from it......"
At this time, Qunhao was circulating the white silk scroll, and those who couldn't read listened to others read the white, it turned out to be the appointment of a hundred households issued by the Privy Council of the Yuan Dynasty, and Ye Xiurong's name was impressive, white silk and black characters, and the evidence was conclusive.
Ye Xiurong couldn't say a word, and knelt on the ground.
The letter of appointment was passed back to Jiang Fenglie, and he raised the candle and lit it. When the white silk turned to ashes, he threw the stump: "Escort out, sacrifice the flag." β
When Ye Xiurong was escorted past Zhao Lie's eyes, his head that had been hanging down moved, turned his face to look at Ma Nanchun, and was immediately escorted out of the village.
Although it was not Zhao Hunt at a glance, although it was only a short glimpse, Zhao Hunt's professional sensitivity still noticed a little strange - Ye Xiurong's eyes were not fierce, not ruthless, not unwilling, only helpless, sad, and ...... A hint of mercy.
At the beginning of the reunion, a traitor was found, and it was really a good start, a good sign.
In the praise of the group of heroes, the bearded strong man clenched his fists again and again, his face full of red light.
Zhao Lie was holding his chin and pondering Ye Xiurong's eyes, and Ma Nanchun's voice sounded in his ears: "Do you know who this strong man is?" β
Zhao Lie shook his head.
Ma Nanchun said in a low voice: "He also participated in the Battle of the Mountain. β
"Oh." Zhao Lie came to the spirit, "Do you know?" β
"There was a one-time acquaintance." Ma Nanchun glanced at the bearded strong man lightly, "This gentleman was originally a prepared general of a battalion under the command of the Privy Mansion, and he was quite brave when he met the dragon. It's just that as far as I know, most of the rough generals in the barracks are illiterate......"
Zhao Lie raised his eyebrows: "You mean, he can't understand what is written in this confession at all......
Ma Nanchun shook his head: "If he can't understand it, naturally others can understand it." I just think that this gentleman does not speak like a rough general, but like a well-educated man...... Haha, a certain aunt said it in vain, and the virtuous brother and aunt listened to it in vain. Maybe in the third day of Shibei, this gentleman is no longer Wuxia Ameng. β
At this time, Fang Yulong's rough voice sounded again: "Let me ask everyone, let's gather here, what is the matter?" β
"Naturally, it is to save Wen Shaobao (Governor's Mansion)." Among the 36 heroes, many of them were local heroes convened by Wen Tianxiang when he opened the mansion in Tingzhou, and they were all his old departments, and they were used to calling them "governors".
"Wen Shaobao fell into the hands of the enemy, and the culprit was naturally that Zhang Hongfan, but if there was no one who acted as a tiger, it would not have collapsed. Guys say yes or no? β
"Yes."
"The one who acts for the tiger is none other than the thief Chen Yi."
"Yes, that's the thief." Fang Yulong smiled, "My second meeting gift is the trace of the thief Chen Yi. β
As soon as this remark came out, the repercussions caused by it were more exciting than finding out the traitor.
From ancient times to the present, sometimes the most hated people are not the invaders, but the traitors and the leading party.
If there was no Chen Yi as a tiger, relying on his own familiarity with the terrain, leading the Yuan army to raid the path, Wen Tianxiang would not have been captured alive, and his capable generals, such as Zou Wei, Liu Zijun, Chen Longfu, Xiao Mingzhe, Xiao Zi, Du Hu, Zhang Tang, Xiong Gui, Wu Xizao, Chen Ziquan, etc., would not be exhausted...... Chen Yi is guilty of the crime of being a traitor and leading the party. Qunhao failed to kill Zhang Hongfan to thank Wen Shaobao and Zhu Yingjie in the spirit of the sky, if he can kill this Chen Yi, he can also let out a bad breath, collect a little interest for the anti-Yuan martyrs, and can also be used as a meeting gift to welcome Wen Shaobao.
For a while, everyone was gearing up, vowing to kill the thief and then hurry.
When the group of heroes discussed how to besiege and kill the thief Chen Yi, Ma Nanchun was introducing the heroes to Zhao Lie one by one - it was not that they didn't want to participate in the discussion, mainly because Zhao Lie was not qualified to participate, Ma Nanchun naturally didn't want to leave him, and it was not easy to sit down, anyway, he was idle and idle, so he popularized science to Zhao Lie.
Ma Nanchun is well-connected and familiar, and he was once the deputy capital of the Privy Council responsible for reviewing officials in the Xing Dynasty, and he is familiar with the affairs of the government and the opposition, and is quite familiar with the deeds of the heroes.
"The person with the long hair and purple shirt is the owner of this skyscraper, his name is Chen Zhan, the word is respectful, he is a Gan person, and he has wealth. Shaobao went to Tingzhou to open the mansion, Chen Zijing was called to gather volunteers, prepare his own boats, and guard the lower reaches of the Ganjiang River to curb the Yuan naval army. Awarded the middle squire and the commander of the Fengyi army. And at least to keep the defeat, it is to gather troops in Huangtang, connect the cottage and not surrender. The Yuan general Liu Zili attacked the village with heavy troops, the village was defeated, and Chen Zijing was nowhere to be found. Unexpectedly, after this gentleman escaped, he actually fled to Haifeng and secretly set up a village, which is really worthy of being a loyal and righteous person. β
"Did you see that strong man with a bulging forehead and dressed in a strange costume? This gentleman's name is Li Zifa, the word is Fu, a native of Nan'an County, Nan'an Army, the world is Yihao, and the main Xidong Yubao (ε³δΈ»), is the boundary inspection of the three counties of Nan'an. Jiangxi fell, Nan'an guarded Yang Angi to meet the surrender, and Nan'an could not be settled. Yi people Huang Xian and Zifa jointly pushed Nan'an Wei Ye Mao as the main, governing the guards, and resisting the Mengyuan. After Ye Mao died in battle, Nan'an also fell, and Zifa and Huang Xian avoided the main stream. The mountains are deep and dense there, and there are She people to protect each other, and the thieves are helpless. β
"Tang Ren, the word Baoyi, Nan'an local tyrant. Like Chen Zijing, at the call of Shaobao, he gathered the township soldiers to join each other, and was ordered to communicate with the new attached army in Ganzhou. As a result, Tang Ren led the army to arrive first and was detected by the Yuan thief. There are 100 households in the new attached army who have come out to report that the thieves are closed to the camp to search and kill. Tang Ren had no choice but to retire, and all the soldiers of a battalion of the newly attached army were killed...... It's a pity, it's a pity. β
Zhao Lie nodded while listening, and sighed with emotion, originally he was not very interested in this so-called Juyi, and felt a taste of "Liangshan Juyi". At this moment, listening to Ma Nanchun's narration of the deeds of the heroes, everyone has a story, everyone is a hero, and he really deserves the word "hero".
Zhao Lie suddenly remembered someone and said in a low voice: "Who is that black-robed old man?" As soon as he finished saying this, he felt a chill in his body, and raised his head to meet the eyes of the black-robed old man, who seemed to hear his words, stared at him, and then lowered his eyebrows again.
"Mr. Ritsusai, that's not an idle person." Ma Nanchun rarely admired, "This gentleman is the righteous son of Wusu Gong (Jiang Wanzai), named Zongjie, and called Luzhai." In the ninth year of Xianchun (1273), he entered Lin'an with the king of Wusu Gongqin, and participated in the battle to recover Raozhou in the first year of Deyou (1275). Later, he was ordered to form a 'black crow', resigned and sneaked down, specializing in secret espionage ......"
"Crows?" Zhao Lie's heart moved, isn't this an intelligence organization, this Mr. Lu Zhai is actually an intelligence leader, no wonder.
Suddenly, I heard the clear voice of the river breeze: "Gentlemen, please sit down." β
Zhao Lie looked up, only to find that Qunhao had already sat down in turn, and Fang Yulong was sitting on the last empty chair - however, because Ye Xiurong was found out, another chair was vacant.
At the moment, this empty chair is so eye-catching, it seems that there is only one way to move away.
"I said, thirty-six heroes, one is not more, and one is not less." Jiang Fenglie's gaze turned to Zhao Lie, and he gestured with his hand, "Brother Zhao, please." β
