Chapter 117: The City is Broken
Hearing him speak, Lu Junyi, Yan Qing, Hu Sanniang and the other three all showed surprised expressions, while Youjian was still staring at Hu Sanniang, as if he hadn't heard what he said at all.
"Who is Fang La? How dare you rebel? Lu Junyi asked. And Yan Qing and Hu Sanniang both had the same doubts in their eyes.
Song Ting's gaze unconsciously stayed on Hu Sanniang for a moment, and seeing her face full of doubts, he said in his heart: Yes, everyone in Liangshan has been staying in the Shandong territory, how can they know about the affairs of Jiangnan.
And when Youjian saw him staring at Hu Sanniang, his eyes looked at him coldly, he pursed his lips, his face turned cold, and he looked extremely unhappy.
Song Ting didn't notice Youjian's expression at this time, but just said to Lu, Yan, and Hu: "I also heard in Yangzhou that there is a person named Fang La in Shezhou, who has engaged in a Muni religion, also known as Zhexi Mingjiao, to carry out missionary activities, but I didn't expect it...... It's really the other way around......"
In fact, he did not hear about Fang La's deeds in Yangzhou at all, but knew it according to historical records. In the past few years, the news is too closed, and the communication basically relies on letters and oral messages, unlike the network in later generations to convey in a second, and now if you send a message from the capital to Hainan, I am afraid that it will not be transmitted for a month.
Therefore, even if Yangzhou is only more than 300 miles away from Shezhou, it is difficult to communicate with one north of the Yangtze River and one south of the Yangtze River. Even if Fang La really did something in Shezhou, it would be difficult for him to hear anyone talking.
Hearing his words, Lu, Yan, and Hu were all surprised, Jiangnan, this Fang La, really dared to rebel? I've never heard of this guy before......
Song Ting looked at the three of them and said, "That's it, Hu Sanniang, you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inquire again, if necessary, arrest one or two people, ask clearly, and see if it is really a rebellion in Jiangnan." Before tonight, let me know the exact news. ”
Seeing Hu Sanniang nodding, she instructed Yan Qing again: "Yan Qing, you go and call your brother Song Jiang, I have something to discuss with him."
Yan Qing and Hu Sanniang walked out of the practice room, went out of the Horse Mansion, and went to work separately.
After the two left, Song Ting couldn't help but take a deep breath, and confided in Lu Junyi and Youjian: "If it is really Fang La's rebellion, I'm afraid this country will start to be chaotic......"
Lu Junyi didn't know what it meant, and he couldn't speak in a daze.
Seeing that his face was serious, Youjian also let go of the prejudice against Hu Sanniang in his heart, knowing that something big was going to happen, he stepped forward and asked solemnly: "What do you mean by 'chaos'?"
Song Ting smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing in his heart, there are too many things, and now he doesn't dare to predict, after all, the history here is a little different from what is recorded in the annals, but there is no doubt that a real troubled era is coming......
"Troubled times, troubled times......"
With a sigh in his heart, Song Ting's eyebrows froze, thinking of the shame recorded in the annals, the eternal catastrophe called "Jingkang's Shame", and he couldn't help but feel a little chilled.
If there was such a catastrophe, how would the family be saved? How to protect the princess's wife?
It seems that you have to prepare early......
I sighed, thought about it, and suddenly my eyes lit up, and a glimmer of hope rose in my heart: "Musket? Chen bearded? ”
It seems that the only hope is the arquebus.
It has been nearly two and a half months since I left Yangzhou Yongtai, and I don't know how Chen Gui invented this arquebus.
Now that the momentum is not to be delayed, it's time to go back and have a look.
Thinking of this, he didn't answer the question of the ghost sword, but strode out of the practice room. Youjian hesitated for a moment and followed behind him, and Lu Junyi looked blankly, at a loss.
…
Song Ting finally found the princess's wife in the kitchen. Seeing that he was coming to find the princess, Ghost Sword gave up following him.
Zhao Yuanzhen seemed to be very interested in the recipe of the sauerkraut fish, and hid in the kitchen with the new maid Jin'er to study the recipe written by Song Ting. The cook mother Qin and the two cooking maids were cleaning the belly of the fish, and Zhao Yuanzhen, who was wearing a red floral Luo skirt, was not taboo, and stood next to her.
Song Ting walked into the kitchen, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, regardless of whether they saluted or not, he pulled Zhao Yuanzhen out of the kitchen, and Jin'er also followed, bowing down to follow and serve.
Song Ting didn't worry about Jin'er hearing these words, so he directly said to the princess's wife-
"Zhen'er, tomorrow at the latest, I want to go back to Yangzhou."
"So urgent? What are you going back to Yangzhou for? ”
Listening to her husband's words, Zhao Yuanzhen's eyelashes trembled like two small brushes, and her beautiful eyes stared at him and asked.
Song Ting said: "Do you remember the time when I brought two assault rifles back to 'Linshui Xuan' to play?"
Zhao Yuanzhen thought about it, pursed her lips and smiled: "Xianggong, that ...... It's not fun......"
Song Ting closed his eyes, there were some things, even the princess's wife, it was impossible to fully understand his thoughts, he had come to discuss with her, and at this moment, he felt the need to change the word "consultation" to "notice".
Zhao Yuanzhen saw that his face was serious, and he also asked with a serious face: "Xianggong, what's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”
Shaking his head gently, he felt that it was better not to let her worry, so he swallowed back some of the words he wanted to say, just smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll take Lu Junyi and Yan Qing back to Yangzhou tomorrow, it's cold, you have to pay attention to your body and wear more ......."
Saying that, in front of Jin'er, he took her hand, held it in the palm of his hand, rubbed it, and wrapped her clothes tighter for her, these actions made her unconsciously lean over affectionately, with joy and satisfaction on her face.
"Xianggong, what are you going to Yangzhou for?"
"It's okay, go back and play for two days......"
"Xianggong, you said that you won't hide anything from me."
"Well, then I'll tell you in the evening."
"Hmph, that's pretty much it!"
Zhao Yuanzhen snorted, frowned, took Song Ting's arm, turned back to Jin'er and said, "Jin'er, you go to the kitchen to help, I'll walk alone with the horse."
"Yes, Princess." Jin'er bowed and saluted, no longer following Zhao Yuanzhen.
…
In the afternoon, Hu Sanniang asked Yan Qing to bring news, and she arrested a retainer in the Prime Minister's Mansion and forced her to ask, and sure enough, it was Jiangnan who rebelled.
It also brought an unexpected news.
Prime Minister Wang Huang suppressed the news and did not plan to tell the emperor, and was ready to suppress the rebellion before playing the emperor.
"What?" After listening to Yan Qing's report, Song Ting couldn't help frowning and cursing in a low voice, "This dog thief, so bold, he even dared to hide the news of the rebellion of hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangnan!" ”
Hmph, Wang Huang, Wang Huang, paper can't contain fire, you are playing with fire and self-immolation...... He snorted inwardly, but felt that he could take advantage of this opportunity.
Song Jiang and Lu Junyi were also present, and Song Jiang hugged his fists and asked, "Master Horse, do we need to tell the prince the news now?"
"Tell the prince?" After listening to Song Jiang's words, Song Ting touched his nose and said in his heart: If you tell the prince, you can indeed let Zhao Jinji cure Wang Huang's crime immediately. But if he told the prince immediately, Wang Hao immediately obediently admitted his mistake, I am afraid that there would be no substantial blow to him.
Thinking of this, Song Ting's voice lowered a little, and he said with a serious face: "It's not appropriate to tell the prince about this matter now, since Jiangnan is already on fire, this fire can't be extinguished for a while, wait for a while, the fire will burn big, and then tell the prince...... Hmph, when the time comes, I don't believe that the emperor will not cure him for Wang Huang's sin! ”
After listening to Song Ting's words, Song Jiang nodded, feeling very reasonable.
Song Ting also instructed Lu Junyi and Yan Qing: "Tomorrow, you two will go to Yangzhou with me."
Lu Junyi and Yan Qing clasped their fists and nodded yes.
