Chapter 232: Murderer, Wu Song

The situation that Yu Yin has to face is unavoidable.

As early as when he transferred the Great Song Times Weekly to Zhao Chen, he had this kind of preparation. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, a butcher who has become a military attache of the eighth grade is definitely a matter of honoring the ancestors. But who would have thought that unconsciously, Yuyin had become the enemy of the entire Great Song bureaucracy, and he also had a deep hatred.

Bai Shi is a middle-class person, and he will not give up with him.

Li Gang and Li Ruoshui may not be pleasing to him.

is the kind of military generals such as Shidao and Yao Pingzhong, and maybe they will also think that Yuyin is a villain.

Since there are already enemies all over the world, why should Yu Yin take it to heart? Long before he left Tokyo, Huang Sheng privately reminded him that this trip to Hangzhou would never be as simple as he imagined. The extremely heavy party complex in the southeast township, coupled with its developed commerce, has also caused the southeast people to have a strong sense of interests. They are very grouped and at the same time extremely xenophobic. If someone wants to infringe on their interests and make a bad mistake, it will provoke them to retaliate strongly, causing serious consequences.

Yu Yin doesn't know much about the township party complex of the people in the southeast.

But there is one thing he knows, in history, after the Northern Song Dynasty moved south and established the palace in Hangzhou, the old Zhao Guan's family also had the idea of the Northern Expedition.

For example, when Song Xiaozong was in power, he proposed the Northern Expedition several times.

When the Great Song Treasury Mansion was full, the morale of the people was high. And all over the north, the call for the Northern Expedition of the old Zhao official family has never been cut off.

However, the southeastern merchants were worried that the huge military expenditure caused by the Northern Expedition would fall on their own heads, so they strongly opposed the Northern Expedition. And the only army in history that refused to be drawn because it was not paid. It was also in that era that it appeared.

In the face of all kinds of pressure, Song Xiaozong had no choice but to give up the idea of the Northern Expedition and settle in the southeast corner.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Since he couldn't break the situation for the time being, Yu Yin simply didn't think about it.

So he changed the conversation and jumped to the matter of Cai Jun's assassination. Yu Yin has no good impression of Cai Jun, and this guy is Cai Jing's son; Second, Cai Jun's reputation is indeed not good. Just imagine, the guy who is called 'Cai Hu' by the people. How rampant it will be. The Fangla Rebellion has been peaceful for many years, but the situation in Hangzhou has not improved in the slightest, and it is still a dilapidated scene. Inside. Cai Jun is afraid that he has played a key role in making this beautiful city depressed.

But. Yu Yin is very interested in Cai Jun's murderer.

As far as he knew, Cai Jun was very liked by Cai Jing, and he even sent a master of the Royal Boxing Gym to accompany him to protect him.

This Cai Jun also seems to know that he has done a lot of evil, and he always takes dozens of bodyguards with him when he travels on weekdays. Among them, there are no pan masters.

Cai Jun's murderer was suddenly ambushed when Cai Jun was walking to the Huansha Bridge.

not only killed Cai Jun on the spot, but also killed more than a dozen bodyguards accompanying him.

This is a master. Not only is the martial arts strong, but also bold and careful...... Yu Yin is also a martial arts practitioner, so he is naturally a little curious.

Chen Dongdao: "The murderer has been caught!" ”

"How?"

"Speaking of this, it depends on that Li Zhizhou's means."

Chen Dong's face showed disdain. Seeing that he couldn't catch the murderer, he came up with a poisonous plan.

He ordered people to arrest dozens of households and more than 100 people near Huansha Bridge, saying that those people were fellow assassins and wanted to behead all the houses. As soon as this poisonous plan came out, it was useful. The Assassins saw that innocent civilians had been affected. I can only come out and surrender.

Now, the Assassin was imprisoned in Hangzhou, and was sentenced to a heavy sentence by Li Ze...... He was going to be beheaded on the spot, but news came from the Ministry of Punishment that he wanted to escort the assassin to Tokyo. It happened to be a cold day, so it was delayed. I've heard that after the New Year, the Assassins would be escorted unsealed...... This guy is ostensibly the prince's person, but he is a good dog of the Cai family. ”

When Yu Yin heard this, he was silent! After a long time, he said softly, "In this way, the assassin is indeed a good man. ”

Chen Dong nodded and said, "That's natural...... It is said that Li Ze tortured him in every way, but did not say a word of begging for mercy.

Now he is barely surviving by the prison guards who are secretly taking care of him. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid I would have died in the hands of Li Gou......"

It can be seen that Chen Dong not only disdains Li Ze, but even hates him a little.

Yu Yin has been dating him for a long time, but he knows Chen Dong's temperament.

If placed in the later generations, Chen Dong is definitely an angry young man, and he is extremely hostile to Cai Jing. In his opinion, the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty is caused by Cai Jingtong and his ilk. If it weren't for these traitorous ministers in power, why would the Great Song Dynasty be despised by those captives?

His idea is not unusual.

In fact, among the people, there are many people who hate Cai Jing and Tong Guan.

It's just that Yuyin always feels that Chen Dong is too angry and can't be a real official.

Regardless of this life and previous life, which official I have seen is not scheming, and his joy and anger are invisible? Chen Dong is like this, sooner or later he will be used, and if he doesn't make a good deal, he will cause death. Yuyin brought him out of Tokyo, but he was also worried about this. Chen Dong is too impulsive and too easy to be taken advantage of, so it is better to be by his side and remind him at all times.

But the question is, how do you open this mouth?

Yu Yin scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Shaoyang, what's the name of the assassin?"

Zhang Zeduan also seemed to be curious about the assassin, so he asked.

"What's your name?" Chen Dong tilted his head and thought about it: "But I can't remember it, when they told me, I didn't pay much attention to it." ”

"Shaoyang, this is yours." Zhang Zeduan's face sank.

Chen Dongdao: "Why did the eldest brother say this? ”

"You and I are now Xiao Yi's staff, and we should think more about Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi was injured this time, although he did not explain the reason, but it must have been to do a big thing, otherwise how could Li Niangzi let Zhao Jiu accompany him to protect? He is now unable to move, and he is even more unfamiliar with this strange place, so he needs you and me to bother to find out the news and solve the current dilemma. So no matter what it is, no matter how small. You and I have to be careful.

You, who are no longer a student of Taixue, need to change your mentality and think more about Xiao Yi. ”

Zhang Zeduan's words are not serious.

The paths he and Chen Dong took were completely different.

Although Chen Dong was born in a poor family, his life was in dire straits. But as a student, he was quite proud. Not to mention, his previous contacts. Most of them are Taixue students and children of official eunuchs, and their vision is naturally higher than ordinary people. The reason why he came to Hangzhou with Yuyin. To put it bluntly, it was because he felt that he was being used and hurt Yuyin, so he came with an apology.

Therefore, although Chen Dong is a member of Yuyin's staff, fundamentally, he has not put himself in the right position.

Zhang Zeduan, on the other hand, may not be as good as Chen Dong in terms of ability, but he has experienced many hardships and experienced various ups and downs.

He entered the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy. With a picture of the Qingming River, he was rewarded by the official family; I was also frustrated, and I couldn't even find a place to stay. But the more this is the case, the more sober Zhang Zeduan will be, and he can quickly adjust his mentality.

If these words were said by Yu Yin, Chen Dong might not refute them. But you will definitely be dissatisfied.

But as Zhang Zeduan, Chen Dong had nothing to say.

He was suddenly startled, glanced at Yu Yin, and felt extremely ashamed in his heart.

Hurriedly got up and waved at Yu Yin, "It's true that Chen Dong is worried."

The Assassin's name was heard occasionally. I really didn't take it to heart...... I remember the assassin like, it seemed to be called ......"

Chen Dong said for a long time, but he didn't remember the name of the assassin.

Zhang Zeduan sighed and said with a wry smile: "Wu Song! ”

"Huh?"

"The assassin's name is Wu Song." ..., Chen Dong was stunned for a moment, then showed a sudden look, and nodded again and again: "That's right, Wu Song, it's called Wu Song......"

Wu Song?

At first hearing this name, Yu Yin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered something.

The 'Wu Song' in Chen Dong and Zhang Ze's port is not the Tiger Fighting Hero 'Wu Song' in Jingyanggang in the Water Margin.

In fact, Wu Song in Water Margin is an apocryphal character.

Later generations have verified that Wu Song in "Water Margin" was modeled after Zhang Shicheng's fierce general Bian Yuanheng at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. And the story of Wu Song's fight against the tiger is actually taken from Bian Yuanheng's deeds of fighting the tiger.

However, in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was indeed such a character as 'Wu Song'.

According to the historical records of "Lin'an County Chronicles", "Hangzhou Prefecture Chronicles" and "West Lake Grand View", in the late Northern Song Dynasty, there was a chivalrous act of Hangzhou to govern Wu Song to eliminate harm for the people. Among these historical materials, Wu Song's ancestral origin is unknown, and he is a wandering entertainer. According to historical data, this person 'looks strange and great, and tastes the skills outside the Yongjin Gate', and 'is not a thief'.

Based on this account, it can be roughly inferred that this Takematsu was at least a skilled sumo wrestler and a strong martial artist.

At that time, the prefect of Hangzhou was in high power, and because he saw that Wu Song was strong in martial arts and outstanding in talent, he was invited to join the government and serve as the head of the capital.

Later, Wu Song made a proposal because of his merits, and the people of Hangzhou called it 'Wu Ti Jurisdiction'.

There is no detailed record in the history books about what Wu Song was promoted for. But combined with this era, Yu Yin could vaguely surmise that Wu Song was probably because of his fight against Fang La, and made meritorious contributions. On the way to Hangzhou, Yuyin asked about some situations in Hangzhou. According to Chen Dong, when Fang La started the incident, Hangzhou Zhizhou was a high power.

At that time, Fang La led his troops to attack the city of Hangzhou and almost occupied Hangzhou.

According to the official history, the person who drove Fang La out of Hangzhou at that time was Han Shizhong, a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty. What role did Wu Song play in this battle? Yu Yin didn't quite know. But in general, he can still guess the general clue.

Chen Dongdao: "Later, Kochizhou offended Cai Jing Lao'er and was framed and dismissed.

This Wu Song was also implicated because he was pulled up by Kochishu...... After Cai Jun took office, he was kicked out of the yamen. ”

Yu Yin closed his eyes.

Some memories of his previous life, which had long been blurred, suddenly became clear.

He remembered that in his previous life, he had traveled with his father in Hangzhou, and by chance, he saw a tombstone under the Xileng Bridge, which read 'The Tomb of Song Yishi Wu Song'. At that time, Yuyin also asked his father: Wu Song did not die in Liuhe Temple, how could he erect a monument here?

"That's just a novelist's interpretation, Wu Song never became a monk in Liuhe Temple, but died tragically in prison......"

Father's words, as far as Yu Yin was concerned, did not go to his heart at that time.

After not wanting to travel through time and space, this passage suddenly became clear.

Tragic death in prison?

In other words, Wu Song was not sent to Kaifeng Mansion?

Otherwise. How could his tombstone appear under the Xileng Bridge in Hangzhou!

No, no, something must be wrong...... Since Li Ze is a lackey of the Cai Party, he will categorically not refuse the Cai Party's request. It stands to reason that he will definitely escort Wu Song to Kaifeng Mansion. If not, it's probably because ......

"Shaoyang, you just said that Wu Song was severely punished?"

Chen Dong was stunned for a moment. Nodding his head, he said, "It's rumored in the alley, but I haven't asked about the specific situation." ”

Zhang Zeduan said suddenly: "Could it be that Xiaoyi is interested in this Wu Ti Jurisdiction?" ”

Yu Yin smiled. Stand up and wander the hall.

"Shaoyang, what about the high power?"

"High power?" Chen Dong thought for a while and said, "It is indeed a capable minister...... At the beginning, Fang La's army was very strong. Wherever the soldiers went, officials from all over the country fled in desir. Only in Hangzhou, Fang Reverse suffered a heavy blow and has since collapsed. It's just that he is an honest official, and he refuses to flatter and cling to the powerful, which made Cai Jing Lao'er so bad that he was robbed of his military merits. ..., Yu Yin listened and nodded slightly.

Gao Quan, former governor of Hangzhou. At least it's a jinshi and a first.

This kind of character is deposed, and it is not a figure that Yu Yin can recruit.

The real purpose of his words is what Zhang Zeduan just said: for that 'Wu Ti Shi'.

Ti Zhi was a military attache in the Song Dynasty.

Its full name should be: Ti Zhi Armor Thief Affair. He is in charge of military training and the arrest of thieves in the district. Gao Quan is a capable minister, and Wu Song can enter the eyes of Gao Quan and get the position of 'Governor', which shows that this person does have the ability.

What is Yu Yin lacking now?

He lacked men who could help him train his soldiers.

Yang Zaixing and Gao Zhong are not by his side, and he doesn't know anything about the method of military training.

Chen Dong knows the art of war. But he didn't have the slightest experience, so he could only play the role of a staff officer. After all, there must be an experienced person to take care of this specific training. But if he is really capable, how can he help him?

After all, Yuyin, the capital eunuch, sounds very majestic, but he is unpopular......

Wu Song!

Well, this Wu Song seems to be a good fit.

Yu Yinfu sat down again, rubbing his chin, and fell into deep thought.

If Wu Song had not been escorted to Kaifeng Mansion, if he had died in Hangzhou Prison, then he must have been dying now.

If Wu Song's life can be saved at this time, it is an opportunity.

But the question is, after rescuing Wu Song, how can he let him appear in front of people openly?

That's a big problem......

Thinking of this, Yu Yin couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Xiao Yi, but is there something difficult?"

Zhang Zeduan saw that Yu Yin's face was uncertain, so he asked.

Yu Yin hesitated, got up and walked to the door of the hall, glanced outside, and saw that there was no one left and right, so he returned to the hall.

"I want to rescue Wu Tixia, I don't know the two brothers, do you have an idea?"

"Save Wu Tiha?"

Zhang Zeduan seemed to have guessed Yu Yin's mind a long time ago, frowning at the moment, but after a while, he smiled bitterly: "Xiao Yi, this matter is not simple...... Na Wu Song killed the official of the imperial court, but it was a big crime to punish the three clans. You saved him, in case ......"

Without waiting for Zhang Zeduan to finish speaking, Chen Dong spoke.

"Why should the eldest brother be so careful, and don't say that Cai Jun's crime deserves death, like a good man like Wu Tizhi, how can he be harmed by Xiaoxiao? If Xiao Yi wants to rescue Wu Tishi, I will raise my hands in favor...... However, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run. ”

"It's too late!"

"Oh?"

Yu Yin said: "Then since Li Ze is determined to curry favor with Cai Jing'er, how can he show mercy to Wu Song's subordinates?"

Brother Fang Cai also said that Li Ze had imposed heavy punishment on Wu Song...... The conditions in the prison were harsh, and the weather was bitterly cold. Under such circumstances, I am worried that Wu Tiha's body and bones will be unbearable, and if he does not do it well, he will be worried about his life. ”

"The meaning of Xiao Yi ......"

"If you want to save Wu Tishi, you need to do it as soon as possible.

That is, Wu Tizhi can support until the beginning of spring, and then Li Ze will inevitably send heavy troops to escort him, and it will not be easy for you and me to rescue him. Therefore, if you want to save Wu Tisha, you must take advantage of it now. I'm afraid that Li Ze himself can't imagine that someone will do it in Hangzhou.

It's a pity that I have injuries on my body, otherwise I could have taken matters into my own hands and rescued from prison...... Da Lang and Thirteen Lang are not around, and I can't even find a usable person now, thinking about it, it's really a headache, a little headache. ”

Chen Dong and Zhang Zeduan listened and couldn't help nodding.

"Why don't you come back later, and let him try to go to the prison to find out the situation?"

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not good! Chen Dong immediately denied Zhang Zeduan's idea, "Lao Gao is Xiao Yi's person, if he boldly goes, he will definitely be noticed." When the time comes, if he really rescues Wu Tishi, he will also be suspected by Li Ze.

Even if you want to find out the news, you also need to find a local talent, it's best to ...... He is a man who has received the favor of Vuthihar. ..., Zhang Zeduan pondered for a moment and said: "This is not difficult, but it really can't be done, so I will go to find a local outside the city and make some silver." It's just that I inquired about the news, how to rescue Wu Song? If you want to come to Li Ze, you won't be without precautions. ”

When Yu Yin heard this, he nodded again and again.

Chen Dong smiled slightly, "If Xiaoyi really wants to save people, he has a plan." ”

"Oh, please also speak to Shaoyang."

"Xiao Yi knows, how can Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, replace Prince Su?"

Yu Yin was stunned when he heard this, but he came to his senses.

In 210 B.C., Qin Shi Huang made his fifth southern tour, and when he arrived in Pingyuanjin, he was ill. At this time, Qin Shi Huang knew that his limit was approaching, so he hurriedly summoned Li Si, conveyed the secret edict, and appointed his eldest son Fusu as the crown prince. However, the person in charge of the jade seal and the drafting of the edict at that time was the notorious eunuch Zhao Gao in later generations. He deliberately over-edicted, and threatened Li Si to change his mind, and with him to give death to Fusu, kill Meng Tian, and re-establish Hu Hai as emperor.

This method has a name in the thirty-six plans of later generations: stealing beams and replacing pillars.

Chen Dong suddenly came up with this allusion, which made Yu Yin immediately comprehend his thoughts after a moment of surprise.

"What Shaoyang said, but stealing beams and changing pillars?"

"Stealing beams for pillars?"

Chen Dong was stunned for a moment, then stroked his palm and laughed: "The four words Xiao Yi are clever, and that's exactly what I mean." ”

He coughed, got up and waved at Yu Yin again.

If Xiao Yi can trust his own family, he will hand over this matter to his own family.

However, I can only guarantee that Wu Tisha will be rescued from the cell, but the rest of the matter will need to be solved by Xiao Yi himself. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
