The autumn wind passed overnight, and the snow fell cold in the morning. In plain life, snowflakes that have not been seen for several years are now sudden. The coolness of late autumn has not yet passed, and winter comes.

In the early morning, when the Confucian scholars came out with a folding fan as in the past, they were suddenly shocked, and then suddenly happy, after a few sour poems, suddenly the body was quite cold, after a few sneezes, the cold invaded, and ran back home in a smoke, and the sour poems of Fang Cai were forgotten completely, and the folding fan was discarded.

Early this morning, such things are not uncommon in the city of Hangzhou.

A thin layer of snow covered the ground, and the entire city of Hangzhou was white. Today, Liu Zongyan went out of the funeral, and this layer of snow made the city of Hangzhou seem to be hanging filial piety for this husband who died in vain.

The day of Liu Zongyan's funeral was appointed by the emperor, although it seemed a little too early to go out at this time, but since it was the day set by the emperor, no one dared to say anything.

The funeral procession is very long, there are many female dependents, even Yin Yuqian also carries her daughter to filial piety, the princess of a country is like this, Liu Zongyan's funeral is unusually grand. It's a pity that only the son of filial piety is missing.

Liu Bonan in the prison has already gotten the news, and Wan Hansheng specially brought filial piety clothes to Liu Bonan and allowed him to practice filial piety in prison. In the deserted prison, three glasses of sake are spilled on the ground.

Liu Bonan closed his eyes, and his heart was full of tastes, and it was difficult to let go. The father and son were not in harmony for half their lives, and in the end, they didn't even see each other, and when they came out of the funeral, they could only worship here with a glass of thin wine.

If life is like this, it is very sad. It was only now that Liu Bonan understood that he had a lot of joy.

"General Liu, the matter has come to this point, Wan doesn't want to say anything more, you are a smart person, you naturally know what the court requires you to do. Li Gang's method was disdainful of it, and he also insulted the general......"

"Mr. Wan!" Liu Bonan raised his hand to stop Wan Hansheng, shook his head and said, "Don't say it again, I know what you want to say." Liu Bonan has never done anything sorry for his conscience in his life, let alone anything sorry for the Great Song Dynasty. Conspiracy? Shu Bonan can't admit ......"

Liu Bonan's words came slowly, and his voice was very low, if it weren't for the unusual silence in the prison, he wouldn't have heard his words at all, but it was such a low voice, but it showed incomparable determination, especially the four words "can't admit it" at the end, which was categorical, without the slightest pause and discussion.

Wan Hansheng nodded: "I understand." Wan took his leave. ”

With that, Wan Hansheng turned his head and slowly took a step outward. Liu Bonan didn't look at Wan Hansheng, and he didn't even raise his head. It wasn't until the footsteps faded away that Liu Bonan raised his head, looked at Jin Shihou on the side, and smiled bitterly: "Monkey, come and have a few drinks with me." This Wan Hansheng is much better than Li Gang, at least he can leave a few jars of wine......"

"Brother Nan......" Jin Shihou's voice was a little crying, what day is today, what kind of pain Liu Bonan is suffering in his heart, he knows best in his heart, Liu Bonan can endure not saying anything, but he can't help it.

"Monkey, don't be so unproductive!" Liu Bonan lifted the wine jar, poured two bowls, handed a bowl to Jin Shihou, and said, "Drink-"

Jin Shihou raised his sleeves and wiped the tears on his face, took the wine bowl and poured a few sips, pursed his lips, endured the tears in his eyes, opened his mouth and smiled, laughing extremely reluctantly.

"Brother Nan's lesson is that we drink ......" Jin Shihou drank the wine at the bottom of the bowl, picked up the wine jar and filled it with wine, mentioned Liu Bonan's side, and said: "Brother Nan, come, we have done ...... work"

"Dry—"

Liu Bonan raised the wine bowl and made a soft "ding...... sound, and the two raised their heads and drank it. The wine left by Wan Hansheng is the imperial wine in the palace, which is naturally not bad, but when it comes to the mouths of the two of them, it is bitter and bitter......-

In the palace, Li Gang rushed over. Today, he went to Tiliu Bonan for interrogation and was told that he would not give him a mention, which made him very annoyed and ran to the emperor to complain to the emperor.

However, not long after Li Gang ran into the imperial study, he ran out again with a dishful face. The emperor actually told him that he didn't have to worry about this matter, which made him unable to swallow this breath, his face was sallow, but there was nothing he could do.

In the Imperial Study.

Wan Hansheng sat opposite the emperor, gently stroking the beard under his lips, his face expressionless.

The emperor frowned, stared at Wan Hansheng, and watched him say nothing.

After a long time, the emperor stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, turned his head, and said, "How to deal with this matter, do you have a way?" ”

"There's no way." Wan Hansheng said lightly: "It is absolutely impossible to make Liu Bonan confess his guilt. ”

The Emperor's fists clenched suddenly, and his brow furrowed deeper and deeper. After a while, he slowly let go of his hands: "You're right, I should have known a long time ago, it's impossible for him to confess." Yue Shaoan is coming back again, if he adds him, things will be difficult. ”

"Yes. Therefore, this matter must be done well before Yue Shao'an returns. Wan Hansheng said.

"Hmm!" The emperor nodded: "Since this is the case, then I will leave it to you." ”

"No......" Wan Hansheng shook his head and said, "I don't want to do this, you better leave it to Li Gang." I'm tired, I'll go back first......"

Wan Hansheng said that, and went straight to the door. In the room, the emperor looked at his departing back with a tired face, shook his head slowly, and shouted loudly: "Come on, Xuan Li Gang ......"

Li Gang, who had left not long ago, was called back again.

This left him confused, not knowing what the emperor had called him for.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Gang hurriedly knelt down and saluted. The emperor was not in a good mood, and after waving his hand to get him up, he said directly: "At noon tomorrow, Liu Bonan will be executed, and you will be the supervisor." Let's go down! ”

"Ah......" Li Gang raised his head: "Your Majesty, Liu Bonan has confessed?" ”

The Emperor turned around, his eyes sharpened, and said, "Get down—"

Li Gang was shocked, not knowing that he had offended the emperor, so he hurriedly saluted and withdrew. After coming out, he still didn't understand why the emperor was so angry.

It was only before he walked to the palace gate that he suddenly slapped his head and reacted. The emperor didn't have any reason for himself, and Liu Bonan didn't necessarily need to admit his guilt, but as long as the emperor let him die, this was enough.

I just talked a lot, and I was really not good, no wonder I was scolded. After thinking about this, he no longer cared about the emperor's word "roll". But my heart was happy.

Yue Shaoan sent his son to prison and has not released him until now, this big feud can be regarded as a deep knot, and he has no ability to help him, but it is not bad to cut his brother.

Li Gang, who was in a good mood, walked a little differently than usual, and when he walked forward, he couldn't help laughing......-

Away from Hangzhou, on the road to the north.

Fang Ning walked with 20,000 horses in a low manner. When he came, he was full of magic and vividness, but when he returned, he was dejected, his face was gloomy, and there was no trace of brilliance.

This time, the situation is completely different.

Fang Ning knew that the imperial court would not let him go, and the reason why he didn't move his people before was because he didn't slow down. Now, with every step back, there is a danger.

Fang Ning was even worried that if he took a few steps further, he would encounter people sent by the imperial court to encircle and suppress him.

The horse that sat down seemed to be lifeless, and the steps it took were unusually lazy, and the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the ground was extremely uncomfortable to listen to to people's ears.

Actually, it's no wonder. After leaving Hangzhou City, Fang Ning was afraid that the imperial court would chase and kill, so he ordered to march without stopping, and until now, the grain and grass they brought were also poor.

The soldiers were tired and hungry, and the horses naturally didn't want to go there.

Fang Ning looked at the current situation, and was worried in his heart, if this situation was now, the chasing soldiers arrived. So, how can the 20,000 army he carries resist the enemy?

Just when he was worried. Suddenly, the scouts sent out to explore the way from the front hurried back, shouting loudly: "General Fang, it's not good, it's not good. ”

Fang Ning was taken aback and said, "What happened?" ”

"The front has found a large number of elite soldiers, coming in the direction where we are." The scout hurriedly dismounted and said with some urgency: "Please decide, general." ”

Fang Ning's face also darkened suddenly, now at this time, such a thing would actually happen. If it was a soldier or horse coming from behind, he didn't have too much to worry about, because he knew the combat strength of the defenders in Hangzhou, and in his opinion, although there were many of them, it was not difficult to resist.

However, the team coming from the north is different, and the men and horses from the north do not have to be inferior to the people they bring. In addition, now he has caused a sharp decline in combat power due to the rapid march.

In such a situation, encountering the army from the north is undoubtedly the worst-case scenario.

Fang Ning was almost desperate in his heart, and asked tentatively, "Whose centaur is ahead?" ”

"I don't know!" The scout replied. Immediately, he seemed to think of something, and said: "It seems that there are some people who look like emperors, but my subordinates are not sure." ”

"How so?" Fang Ning hurriedly asked as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"In the team ahead, it seems that there is an acquaintance, who is the one who made the big axe when he attacked Bianjing last time. It's too far away to be sure......"

Make a big axe? Fang Ning lowered his eyebrows and pondered, Huo Ran remembered this person, wasn't it Zhang Chusan? At the beginning, Zhang Chusan was under Bianjing City, and he threw out the extra-large earth mine with his own strength, which could have shocked many people, including Fang Ning.

After the incident, Fang Ning inquired about his name, and when he heard that it was him, Fang Ning was overjoyed, if Zhang Chusan was here, then he would definitely be the emperor's person.

is the emperor's person, that is his own person, it seems to be a false alarm.

Fang Ning was just a little relaxed, and an adjutant general behind him looked at his appearance, a little worried, and reminded: "General, don't be too careless, in the past, the emperor and General Liu were friendly, but it is not necessarily the same as now, now General Liu is a thief, and we are rebels." The emperor may have come in a hurry to take our ......."

When Fang Ning heard this, his heart "chuckled", and his face changed......
