From the Five Dynasties to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the surging Yellow River had three big breaches, the rolling river water poured to the foot of Liangshan, and connected with the ancient Juyeze into a piece, forming an endless large water berth, known as the eight hundred miles of Liangshanbo, there is a cliff on the east side of Liangshanbo, this cliff mountain rock is yellow, and the two sides are stone roads; The cliff is like a knife and an axe to point to the sky, so the locals call this cliff Yellowstone Cliff,

Everyone stood on the edge of the cliff, and they all had a hint of foreboding when they saw this: "General Yang, what should I do now." "Although these people are all warriors on the battlefield, they have no idea at this time, now only Yang Shihan has the highest rank, and everyone is looking at Yang Shihan anxiously,

"Count the number of people and items." Yang Shihan's first reaction was to encounter a bandit, and there were a lot of people in the number of people in Zhekejun except for the king, and then look at the items he carried, none of them were lost.

Among the entourage next to Wang, Jiao Deyou and Yang Shihan are the most familiar, and coupled with the special relationship between Jiao Deyou and Wang Bian, Zhi Kejun said to Jiao Deyou: "Brother Jiao, our people are here, and things have never been lost. ”

Jiao Deyou scratched his head, he already knew a bad news yesterday, he was so anxious that he hadn't figured out the situation, and now something bigger had happened, "General Yang, look, if it doesn't work, you can go back to Beijing first, and a few of us will stay and look for it." ”

Yang Shihan thought about Wang Bian's anxious appearance when he heard about the change in his family yesterday, worried that Wang Bian was in a hurry, and quietly hurried by himself at night, but this is not Wang Bian's style of doing things, Wang Bian has always been very explaining; Moreover, the horses beside the king are still there, and there are traces of blood on the cliffs.

"Everyone split up to look for it, and go back to the inn at the bottom of the mountain before dark to meet." Yang Shihan frowned, where did Wang Shilang go, and what happened?

This matter has to start from before Liangshan: next to the king who returned triumphantly, Yang Shihan and others landed off the ship in Dengzhou, Yang Shihan rectified the army, and then brought the guards and entourage to return to Beijing with the king to reply to the decree, and now it is already ten winter months, there are very few pedestrians on the post road, and a team of more than ten people is particularly conspicuous,

Everyone walked to the foot of Liangshan to see an inn, then dismounted to rest, Xiao Er saw a team of officials who were particularly respectful, Zhang Luo with a seat, the shopkeeper saw Wang and Yang Shihan walking in front, two people respected each other, and the rest followed behind; Hurriedly let the two of them sit down at a table, with a smile on his face: "Official, are you lighting a fire or staying in a hotel?" ”

Wang knew that this beating was a miscommunication of fire, the meal on the way in the Song and Yuan dynasties was called fire, there were still four or five hundred miles from here to Bianjing, with the foot strength of a few of them, Xiaoxing stayed overnight and walked for two or three days to almost get home.

Yang Shihan knew that Wang was eager to go home, so he didn't wait for Wang to speak, and said first: "If you have good wine and good food, you can come up, we have to hurry to warm our bodies." ”

The shopkeeper instructed Xiao Er to prepare, the inn is not very big, in addition to the four tables occupied by more than a dozen of them, there are four or five tables, there are some scattered passers-by who eat, there are two empty tables in the corner, whenever a guest comes in, Xiao Er beckons the guest to sit down, only the two tables are kept, it seems to be reserved for someone,

Xiao Er served the wine and food: "Guest officer, you use it slowly first" After speaking, he flashed and went again, Yang Shihan was just about to serve the wine glass, and the king lowered his voice: "General Yang and slow" said and took out the silver needle and tried it in the wine and food, and nodded to Yang Shihan when he saw that it was no different,

Yang Shihan looked at the strange behavior of the king, he shook his head and smiled: "Didn't Wang Shilang let the Yuncheng County Order scare him?" ”

"Hehe, it's better to be cautious in everything."

Wang took a sip of wine, thinking to himself how Yang Shihan could understand that the place where they are now is not just as simple as having many chaotic people, "Liangshanluo, Suduo thieves" This is not a situation that only exists in the Southern Song Dynasty, but the form of the Southern Song Dynasty is more serious, how can these officials in the Taiping period of the Northern Song Dynasty think of those things that kill the county order in the blue sky and daylight,

Although this is something that will happen in the future, Wang Fang knows very clearly: Liangshanluo, its northern part belongs to the jurisdiction of Yunzhou, Yunzhou is Dongpingfu, the south belongs to the jurisdiction of Jeju, Jeju is Juye, this Liangshanluo is divided into two states to manage, and the water boundary is not clear, at the same time, the jurisdiction of Liangshanbo water surface involves several counties, Shouzhang County, Yuncheng County, Juye County, Wenshang County, etc., these counties all have jurisdiction over the water surface of Liangshanbo, each in charge of a piece, and it's staggered with mutual authority, I can't tell which is which, now, This land boundary has become almost insignificant, no wonder Song Jiang will use this place as a base in the future,

They brought a lot of property back to the capital this time, and there were also treasures of the Japanese slaves and Goryeo filial piety to the monarch of the Great Song Dynasty, and the natural king did not dare to slack off, and the ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulties were over, and after Jeju and then Caozhou, they would arrive home, and there should be no mistakes at the critical moment.

Yang Shihan smiled: "Yuncheng County ordered this sentence that there are many chaotic people in this Liangshan Bo place, can it scare us people." "He said so, but he didn't stop to drink and eat meat.

Wang next to the dinner while peeking at the shopkeeper and the guy on the counter while looking at their tables, while seemingly muttering something, Wang next to the thought, the atmosphere of this place is a little wrong, when they come in, the shopkeeper and Xiao Er looked at them vigorously, is this a black shop,

He was thinking about it, three or four people walked in from outside the door, and as soon as he entered the inn, he walked straight to the two tables in the corner, and Xiao Er hurriedly served the wine and food: "Uncle Ruan, you have finally come back, how about it, have you got the things?" ”

It seems that these two tables are reserved for these people, and a big man led by him threw his backpack heavily on the table, and slapped the big knife he was carrying on the table fiercely: "Damn, how did you get there and how did you come back." ”

"Yo, what can I do?" Xiao Er became nervous, and the shopkeeper's voice also came over,

"Damn, what else can I do, we left a few people there to watch, and hurry up and grab the things as soon as they arrive." The person who was called Uncle Ruan said hatefully,

The voice they said was not small, and the people next to Wang and his party immediately became alert, and the people at the table surnamed Ruan scolded as if no one was around: "The dog emperor remembered that one is one out, and now it's okay, it's just fucking frozen to death." ”

"Shh The shopkeeper hurriedly shrugged him, and glanced at the man from the side of the king.

Hearing someone scolding the emperor, Wang and Yang Shihan's subordinates stopped their chopsticks and looked at Wang Bei, Wang Bei pretended not to hear, he was originally going to get up and settle the bill and set off, but he heard that these people were not right, and sat there steadily, only to hear the entourage surnamed Ruan said: "Uncle Ruan, do you say that this is a good person who has no good reward, you said, there are so many places and so many transactions in the capital, our grandfather can be suspended this time!"

Wang Bi's heart moved, Wang Shilang of the capital, are they talking about themselves, he and Yang Shihan are sitting closest to this table, Wang Bi and Yang Shihan both pricked up their ears,

The individual surnamed Ruan slapped the table: "If you dare to confiscate Lao Tzu's land, Lao Tzu will be the opposite, and he will not serve the court that is nervous every day." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly whispered: "Uncle Ruan, a few people here are like officials, let's not be idle, let's endure this deal first, more is better than less"

Wang looked at their own people, they were all lightly dressed and did not wear official uniforms, this shopkeeper's eyesight is really good, listening to the conversation of these people, it seems that this shop is also opened by this person surnamed Ruan, so it is no wonder that there will be tables waiting for them, since this is the case, it should not be a thief or something, Wang next to the signal to go,

A few people cleaned up and were just about to go out, when they heard someone on the table in the corner of the wall say: "Uncle Ruan, you said that we went to the capital this time, and we didn't buy fragrant cakes, let alone fragrant cakes, we can't even buy ordinary coal, how can we survive this winter." ”

Wang Bian slowed down, these people are coming back from the capital, it is now the middle of winter and there is no coal how to keep warm, is it that Jinxiang Mansion is in short supply this year, he was thinking and heard the person at the table say: "Alas, haven't you heard, Jinxiang Mansion and all the coal yards along the Yellow River have been suspended in the past two months. ”

The people next to the king were shocked when they heard this, and they all stopped, Jinxiang Mansion and the banks of the Yellow River are all business next to the king, how could the work be stopped,

Jiao Deyou turned around and walked back to the table, arched his hand and asked, "These brothers, we are about to go to the capital for the sake of coal, I just heard what you said about the Jinxiangfu Coal Yard is suspended, could it be that something happened?" ”

The surnamed Ruan looked Jiao Deyou up and down, and then looked at these people next to the king: "If you go to the capital, if it is for the sake of coal, I advise you not to go." ”

Wang sidestepped aside and walked to the table, Shi Li asked: "This big brother, we are old friends with the king of the capital, I just heard that you said that Jinxiang Mansion was suspended, do you know what the inside story is?" ”

A few people at the table saw that there was no malice next to the king, and the big man surnamed Ruan said: "Since you are a friend of Wang Shilang, then I will tell you, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of land sales, and confiscated a lot of large land, and the land of Wang Shilang Jinxiang Mansion was found to have been purchased at a low price by the official government, and it was evaded taxes, so it was ordered to be confiscated." ”

Wang was stunned: "Why don't I know about this." ”

A few people at the table surnamed Ruan laughed: "You don't know what it is, I'm afraid that Wang Shilang himself doesn't know." The people at this table were talking nonsense,

The surname Ruan was very polite, glanced at a few people, let them be quiet, he said to the king: "Eh, little brother, I see you are very honest, let me tell you, the emperor is poor and crazy, and his mother's land in our family should also be collected, relying on the people of Shijie Village are not easy to bully, and there is the help of the prefect of Dongping Mansion, but it is not for nothing, we were entrusted to go to the capital coal yard to buy coal, no, empty-handed." ”

Everyone looked at Wang Bian nervously when they heard this, but Wang Bian didn't think so, Yingzong's nerves had already been expected by him, and this was not his own business, there would always be a way for these, and he still had the hundred acres of land given by Song Shenzong in his hand and had not yet cashed it, so it was a big deal to take out the imperial approval and come back with his own land.

"Thank you, brother." After Wang Bian finished speaking, he turned around to leave, and the man surnamed Ruan chased after him again: "Even if you are a friend of Wang Shilang, if you are lucky enough to see Wang Shilang, please ask Wang Shilang to mourn and change." ”
