Zhao Xing pushed open the door of the house, and by the door of the house, those Japanese women knelt on the straw mat in two rows - now they call this straw mat "tatami mat", they were talking about something in a low voice, and when they saw Zhao Xing enter the door, they straightened their clothes together, and the team shouted at no one, and the Japanese girls leaned over in unison, and their foreheads were attached to the straw mat and shouted: "You are back, you have worked hard." ”

This etiquette is inherited from the Tang Dynasty's "Greeting Ceremony", and the Japanese have always inherited this Han and Tang etiquette from modern times.

Zhao Xing "hummed" from his nose as an answer, and when the widow heard Zhao Xing's "hum", she immediately got up and ran to Zhao Xing's side, and the one with the cloak took the cloak, the one who held the umbrella held the umbrella, the duster who carried the duster, and the widow knelt at Zhao Xing's feet, ready to change his boots soaked in snow.

Zhao Xing asked them to take the cloak away, and the test basket in their hands was also handed to them, and several widows held umbrellas and escorted Zhao Xing into the bedroom with small steps. Lying down on Zhao Xing's coat, a widow took off Zhao Xing's shoes and took his cold feet into her arms to warm them...... Don't say it, although the widow has been waiting in the snow for a long time, her arms are really warm.

Some of the widows outside the two took off Zhao Xing's vest - this vest was not used to put on swearing, it was a water bag. Zhao Xing has seen a lot of stories written by the Ming and Qing dynasties about the imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty, and thinks that the imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty are as many as in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Zhao Xing prepared the equipment according to the field trip: the vest was made of deerskin and sewn into two hydration bags. The water bag on the left is for tea, and on the right is sugar cane wine. In addition to the water bag, there is also a urinal and a dung bag in the test basket...... The food was also well prepared. The exam ended unexpectedly early, and now there were still dried meat, cheese, salt shakers, a few dry cakes, meat floss, and fish fillets...... There's even sugar.

Lying down in this set of equipment, her feet have been warmed in the arms of the widow, and she has changed into a new dress. Zhao Xing got up and went to the living room. In the living room, Su Shi's son and second son, Su Yi, sat in the chief. Qin Guan sat next to him, and Chen led the child Chen Buqun to sit at the bottom. On the other side sat opposite Cheng Azhu and Chen Yiyi. Chen Yiyi's expression was leisurely, playing with ten companions in his hand, and Cheng Azhu was at a loss. The four Cheng brothers standing under the corridor surrounded Cheng Xia to inquire about the exam.

Zhao Xing first greeted Su Yu, and then greeted Chen Hui. Before everyone had time to ask him about the imperial examination, Su Yu preemptively explained: "Brother Xing, since Chen Gongzi went to Chen Yiniang, there has been no news of him. At noon today, my sister-in-law sent someone to find me, because Brother Xing was still in the imperial examination. My father was in Gongyuan, so my mother asked me to come.

Li Ying, a helper in your house, went to inquire about Chen Gongzi's whereabouts early this morning, and the old bustard said that he had led Chen Yiniang out of Goulan at noon yesterday, but now Chen Gongzi has not returned home, I think Chen Gongzi should have no other place to go in Bianliang City...... The brothers are trying to figure it out. ”

Chen Yiyi snorted and nodded again and again, Cheng Azhu was very dissatisfied: "Why are you so heartless." I don't have to worry about my brother if I lost it, if I hadn't sent someone to find my uncle......"

Yi tilted her face. The copper plate on the ground jingled, and he replied confidently: "My man is a big hero, why worry about this little thing, he has him...... Sister Zhu, smile. This is the Celestial Empire. People are just confused, and this little thing should be worried. Then I need to die of sorrow for the rest of my life! ”

Isn't this a bit that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry - by the way, now eunuchs are not called eunuchs.

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment, then turned to Chen and arched his hand: "Chen Daxia, I will entrust you in my family - Jin Buer, how many armors are there in the house?" ”

Jin Fuji replied briskly: "I just shipped two sets of Beizhong armor yesterday, and a set of Norman silver plate armor that the master likes to wear!" ”

When Su Yu and Qin Guan heard this, they jumped up and asked in surprise, "Do you need to do this?" ”

Zhao Xing nodded slowly.

Chen's face sank like water, and he replied firmly: "Don't worry, everything in the house has me, and there will be no half-point difference." ”

"Jin Buji, take the armor and bring those hidden Teutonic crossbows", Zhao Xing turned to Chen Yiyi: "You go to Dun'er, bring the two dogs to me, and then go to your brother's room to get a few old clothes that have not been washed...... If you can't find your old clothes, bring him a pillow – remember, wrap them in sheets. "Recently, the weather has suddenly become cold, and Su Dun's body is weak, so everyone didn't alarm their mother and son when there was something in the house. At this time, Chen Yiyi heard Zhao Xingdi's order, and without delay at all, he led people to run to the courtyard where Chao Yun's mother and son were.

When the rest of Zhao Xing's students heard the news, they also rushed with bows and arrows. Since this group of Orion Mountain Folk followed Zhao Xing, they had never interrupted their physical exercise, and now they were neatly assembled, like a small army.

Su Yu looked at the army under the corridor, a little restless, Zhao Xing continued to arrange manpower: "Send patrols everywhere in the house, Cheng Xia, you and Jin Fuji stay and help Chen Daxia guard this home." Cheng Xun, Cheng Shuang, you two only follow with short knives, and the Xiao brothers are wearing middle armor, come here, and put on silver armor for me. ”

The armor work of all-metal armor can't be done by others. A few orchids ran out and skillfully helped Zhao Xing put on the silver-white Norman armor, which the widow often does, but not the all-metal armor. They had no choice but to help the orchid on the sidelines.

When Zhao Xing finished putting on his armor, a shining silver armor made his tall body look like a moving steel fortress...... Nagato Hall is clothed in this armor, the first ...... in the world"

Zhao Xing did not wear a helmet, and two sturdy men were singled out, one carrying Zhao Xing's shield and the other carrying the helmet of Norman armor. They are familiar with the streets of the capital and help guide the way by the way. Waiting for Chen Yiyi to lead the dog and come back with Chen Gongchuan's clothes, Zhao Xing and others have completed the preparations, Chen Yiyi was stunned for a moment, and silently handed the dog chain to Cheng Xun and Cheng Shuang, and she looked at Zhao Xing with her eyes. Whisper: "Be careful! ”

Cheng Azhu followed behind Chen Yiyi, she rushed over and hugged Zhao Xing, snuggled up to the cold armor with her face on the cold ground for a moment, and said goodbye: "Official, be careful!" Go and come back quickly! ”

Ma Mengde followed the team with a fuchsia wooden staff in his hand. As he walked, he reminded Zhao Xing: "Dong Weng should go to Kaifeng Mansion Yin first." Inform me ......"

At this time, twilight has just fallen, there are sparse ground lifts on the side of the street, looking for a restaurant like a wandering spirit, Goolan Washe, in order to celebrate their liberation, seeing Zhao Xing's steel monster dress, they stopped, curious to watch, there are still Tokyo idlers on the side of the road cheering at Zhao Xing: "Good man!" It's mighty! ”

A group of forbidden soldiers patrolling the streets passed by. They saw at a glance that this group of people was a little murderous and hurried, and hurriedly jumped out to intercept them: "The front of the palace is patrolling the streets, who is the person, who dares to walk on the street with open fire, and it is not ......"

Zhao Xing intercepted the other party's words and replied loudly: "Zhao Xing, the son of Huangzhou who should take the exam, disappeared for no reason. Suspected of being robbed, this trip specially reported to Kaifeng Mansion Yin. ”

The forbidden army in front of the palace stopped, and the captain led by him waved his hand to stop: "Wu Na moves." Hugh is messing around, and I will go to Kaifeng Mansion with you. ”

In Kaifeng Mansion, Qian Xian's busy relief work has been exhausted, how can he have the leisure to take care of Zhao Xing's local affairs, and listen to Zhao Xing's introduction. He said earnestly: "Leave people." I know you're pretty good at fighting, but you're wrapped in iron like this. Isn't it scareless?

I heard that you don't wear this iron suit, and the four Liao soldiers are not your opponents, and they were beaten into four corpses by you. Now wearing this iron suit, how many people do you want to fight? What do you want to do in Bianliang City, start a war? …… Seeing that I'm busy, you can't stop for a while?

Your brother-in-law too, the busier he gets, the more chaotic he becomes. You see that my feet don't touch the ground, how can I care about *** things? I guess, did your brother-in-law pull Chen Yiniang to hide somewhere to make love...... Young man, your physical strength is really good, it's been a few days, but you have to be careful not to indulge in your body! Well, I guess they've been making out for so long, it's time to end now, maybe they're looking around for a palanquin to carry them......"

Zhao Xing bowed: "Lord Qian, I don't want to cause trouble for you, I just want to prepare a case for you, and ask you to send a servant to accompany you - only one is enough, I only need him to accompany you, as for the matter of finding relatives, I will come myself." ”

Qian Xian sighed: "Okay, give you a ...... I heard that you have been searching for Li Gonglin's calligraphy and paintings recently, virtuous nephew, you said that my handwriting is not bad, why no one came to me to buy it--so faceless! ”

Zhao Xing comprehended, he pointed at Ma Mengde: "This Ma Zhengqing next to him has a lot of research on calligraphy and painting, and Lord Qian is free, so it is better to let Brother Mengde appreciate calligraphy and painting...... It is better to be strong, and the legs and feet are sharp. ”

Qian Xian's heart was full of joy: "Of course, of course - Zhang Bantou, you accompany my virtuous nephew, I am giving you a blank sea fishing book...... Brother Zhengqing, let's talk in the back hall. ”

Zhang Bantou was in his thirties, he cowered a little and came up, and didn't open his mouth for a long time to show that he was leaving, and when the Lord Yin and Ma Mengde affectionately walked into the back hall, Zhao Xing turned to that Zhang Bantou and said in a commanding tone: "You can't do it alone, go, call a few more partners - this arrest, I will offer a reward of 1,000 yuan, which will be distributed by you." ”

Zhang Bantou was originally very dissatisfied with Zhao Xing's tone, and when he heard Zhao Xing's reward, his eyes lit up, but then dimmed again: "Zhao Daguan, Bianliang City is so big, it's hard to find......"

Zhao Xing said arrogantly: "You don't have to worry about it, you just have to go with me." If you are in danger, you can flee; If there is no danger, I will only need you to stand by and watch, and when the work is done, the reward will be paid by 1,000 yuan. ”

Zhang Bantou was suddenly full of momentum, and hurriedly went to the squad room to transfer his cronies, and when he adjusted the manpower, Li Ying also happened to come over: "Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao, I heard what the house said, fortunately I was in time, I am familiar with Bianliang City, and I will show you the way." ”

Zhao Xing was silent for a moment, and nodded a few servants with his chin: "Okay, give him the helmet and shield on his back, Brother Li, you follow us with these two things." ”

The investigation began with the small building where Chen Yiniang lived. Chen Yiniang said that she was a free body, and it was true. Why did the free body have to pay the ransom because she was too famous, and the helpers refused to let go of this cash cow easily, so she was allowed to spend money to buy freedom, which can be regarded as compensating for the loss of a gold medal salesman.

Since her contract was never in the hook bar, it was difficult for the officials to find trouble in the goo-bar.

According to the restaurant, Goulan also held a ceremony for Chen Yiniang at that time, saying that Chen Yiniang had nothing to do with them. The two of them got into a sedan chair under the watchful eye of everyone. was carried away by the palanquin. It is said that the sedan chair stopped outside the goulan at that time, and it was specially called by Chen Gongchuan, so the goulan did not verify it, and did not pay attention to where the sedan chair drivers belonged.

Li Ying listened to the introduction. Suggestion: "Brother Zhao, let's go to various sedan shops to check first." Chen Gongzi is magnificent, and he will definitely not hire a sedan chair from an unknown small sedan shop. ”

Zhao Xing smiled. This point of manual inspection of the sedan car line, a year can not be checked.

How many Golan Washers are there in the city of Tokyo - 3,000! There are not 10,000 sedan cars in various places that serve these 3,000 hook rails, but at least 8,000. In ancient times, under such communication and traffic conditions, if you want to find out all the 8,000 sedan chairs, you have to have a large amount of manpower.

Zhao Xing turned to Cheng Xun and Cheng Shuang to wink, and they immediately uncovered the brocade covering their hands, revealing the puppy in their arms. Zhao Xing shook off the package and sent Chen Gongchuan through the lichen and his pillow to the nose of the two hounds. The puppy sniffed vigorously.

The shape of these two puppies is a bit strange in the eyes of the Song people, they have thin arms and legs, and their hair is short, and they are still very active in this cold weather. These two dogs are the original species of the European Foxhound. Zhao Xing brought back five or six pairs of such dogs from overseas, and only one male and two females were still alive. Subsequently, these dogs became Su Dun's playthings.

Foxhounds often do this – the owner gives him a bag of laundry and he smells it, and he knows what to do. After Cheng Xuncheng tied the dog leash. As soon as they were put in the ground, the puppy sniffed wildly, and under the stunned eyes of the brothels, they ran out into the street.

Li Ying is worthy of being a sumo wrestler, and his legs and feet are flexible. Dragged a half-man-tall irise-shaped shield. With a Norman bucket helmet, he can still catch up with Zhao Xing's footsteps. And Zhang Bantou fell behind the team with three or four brothers, running out of breath.

The puppy sniffed around a street corner for a while, Zhao Xing checked the nearby terrain, and said to Zhang Bantou who caught up with him in an affirmative tone: "This is the place where they were robbed - you see, the left and right corners of the wall are very high, just blocking the view of the people around them." Yesterday was the day of the scientific expedition again, and there were few pedestrians on the road. I don't have to worry about being found here, I think even if Chen Gongchuan shouts loudly, the high walls around him block his call for help. ”

Zhang Bantou took a breath, looked at the two puppies in awe, and asked, "Big official, and then what?" ”

The Sky Fluttering Eagle stepped forward and wanted to walk to Zhao Xing, but the Xiao brothers suddenly stretched out their knives to block him, and shouted: "Don't go over, mess up the smell." ”

Li Ying had no choice but to stand in place and ask Zhao Xing: "Brother Zhao, what's wrong with this dog, why don't you continue to chase it?" Can you find out where they are hiding? ”

Zhao Xing replied lightly: "Okay, let's keep walking." ”

The puppy led Zhao Xing on, and they first came to a ditch, and the puppy stopped for a while.

The ditch seemed to be a sewage ditch, and it stinked in it. When I was a little farther away from the canal, I could hear a faint human voice from above, but when I got closer, the sound was gone.

There was a foul smell everywhere, Zhang Bantou's face was green, and Li Yingdi's face was not normal.

Zhao Xing's face was also wrong, and he leaned over to look at the ditch, there seemed to be many small caves on both sides of the deep ditch, maybe not the cave but the sewers of the surrounding people.

The puppy was still circling in circles, and Zhao Xing asked Cheng Xun and Cheng Shuang, who were leading the dog: "How is it, is the dog's sense of smell messed up, and then give them a sniff of Chen Gongzi's clothes." ”

Among these two disciples, Cheng Xun has followed Su Mai to capture thieves for three years, and he already has experience in arresting, and he looks sophisticated. And Cheng Shuang has always been very organized. The two cooperated, Cheng Xun used his body to block the wind, Cheng Shuang took out Chen Gongzi's clothes, and then sniffed the dog, during this period, Zhao Xing stood downwind, and the Xiao brothers stretched out their knives to block Li Ying and the officials who were about to approach.

When the dogs smelled their clothes, they barked for joy, and they left the ditch and trotted out into the distant street. Walking through the winding streets, Zhao Xing found that they had come to a brothel building. The brothel is still open, and there are bursts of bamboo singing in the building, and the horizontal plaque on the upper floor reads two big characters: Fan Lou.

Fan Lou is so famous in martial arts that modern Chinese don't know what famous places there are in the Song Dynasty, and they also know that there was a Fan Tower in the Song Dynasty. Because this building is the base of the underworld activities in Beijing, which is often referred to as the "headquarters of heroes".

Seeing this building, Zhang Bantou's face became even more flustered. Seeing Zhao Xing standing in front of the building pondering, Zhang Bantou couldn't help but remind: "Zhao Daguan, this is Fan Lou, it is inconvenient for the small ones to enter." Or...... We'll come back again. ”

Zhao Xingdi replied with a shout: "Bring the helmet." ”

Li Ying stepped forward and handed over the helmet, and by the way, he looked at the foxhound standing at Zhao Xing's feet and wagging its tail violently. Wait for Zhao Xing to buckle up his helmet. The whole person was covered in steel, he made a gesture to Cheng Xun, Cheng Xun released the chain of a dog, and the dog screamed happily towards the Fan Tower. Cheng Shuang immediately led another dog to chase after his companion.

Zhao Xing didn't know that the ditch and the Fan Tower in front of him just now were the beggar strongholds in Bianliang City, Tokyo in the Song Dynasty. The former is called "Sanssouci Cave" and the latter is called "Ghost Fan Tower". According to the time calculation, this era happened to be the era when the legendary beggar gang leader Hong Qigong ruled the beggar gang.

The great poet Lu You of the Song Dynasty once wrote about these two places. He said: In the "Sanssouci Cave" of the beggar gang, "the outlaws hide in it", and the "Ghost Fan Tower" is the place where the beggars "steal women", abduct and sell them, and carry out lewd and persecution. This phenomenon "has often existed since the beginning of the country to the rise of the army, although it is impossible to stop it."

That is to say, from the founding of the Song Dynasty to the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, even if it is a capable person like Bao Zheng. can't destroy this group of "beggars and heroes" who do all kinds of evil.

Zhao Xing didn't know this, but standing in front of the "Ghost Fan Building", he already vaguely understood: why Qian Xian refused to accept the case; Why is the head of the squad under the reward of Qianguan. Still not enthusiastic - add the word "ghost" in front of Fan Lou, is this the words of Acura?

However, others were worried about being attacked or assassinated, and Zhao Xing had nothing to worry about. I am not afraid that this group of "beggars and heroes" will seek revenge. So when he rushed into the Fan Tower wrapped in iron armor, several people in the room did their hands, downstairs helped each other, and stayed in the hospital to stop him. Without hesitation, he knocked them to the ground one by one with his iron-gloved fist.

A few thugs saw that Zhao Xing's whole body was iron, thinking that he must be clumsy, so they quietly hid behind him, ready to beat the stick, but the snowy armor surface was like a mirror, Zhao Xing saw from the reflection on the surface of the armor that several people behind him touched it, and he suddenly kicked a person over. The rest of the people were stunned, holding large sticks in their hands to knock their heads, but they forgot what they were supposed to do.

"Amazing, right?!" Zhao Xing's voice came out muffled through the iron armor mask: "I didn't expect me to be able to fight behind?" Uh-huh, this is the best Norman armor, do you want to see me doing somersaults in armor? ”

A few people holding sticks nodded stupidly with sticks, Zhao Xing saw Cheng Shuang leading the dog in from the observation window of the mask, and the puppy looking for a companion ran straight to the backyard, he pouted lightly and added softly: "You can't see it." ”

The Tang knife suddenly came out of its sheath, and a white lightning flew by, and several people with sticks were cut into two pieces.

Zhao Xing finished cutting these people, without stopping, his knife waved continuously, and all the people lying on the ground were slashed by him in the neck.

"Murder!" A prostitute screamed, and everyone ran as if they were waking up from a dream, and several people even ran to Zhao in a daze

The ground knife in Zhao Xing's hand flashed a few times in a row, slashing over a few people who came back to him, and through the mask, he roared: "Kill the troublemaker." ”

The Shaw brothers jumped in after him, swinging their knives and slashing a few of the runaways to the ground. For a moment, the audience was stunned by this cold-blooded killing, and everyone stood in place trembling, and even those thugs did not dare to step forward.

Li Ying came in next, he was shaking all over his body, Zhang Bantou followed behind him, and several officials were also trembling.

Zhao Xing shook his head in the armor, but no one saw his shake.

Three men took knives and hijacked the whole building. The group was in a physiological state of "suspended animation", completely motionless. No wonder the 20,000 troops of the Jin people came, and they actually made this city, which was guarded by millions of people and 200,000 troops, only think about surrendering and paying the ransom.

In this sense, what is so terrible about the "Hong Qigongs" of the group of beggars?

If their martial arts are really powerful, and the Jin army is coming, why don't they use their overwhelming ability to save the city they live in?

Perhaps at that time, they were hiding in the "sanssouci hole" in the ditch, trembling while molesting women.

Following the puppy, Zhao Xing ran into the backyard with a knife. At this time, the Xiao brothers had already confronted a courtyard, where pots and pans, tables, chairs and benches were thrown out from time to time, and the people in the room were shouting loudly to cheer for themselves.
