"That's it!" Chen Zhe waved his hand, didn't take Zhou Ping in his eyes at all, and said directly to Han Xiaoxuan: "Tong Shu secretly sent a certain family to lead five hundred soldiers, one is to urge the boat, and the other is to prevent the resurgence of the water thieves on the Jeju side. ”

"Prison Zhou, you are in charge of Liangshan Water Village, what do you think of the boat and boat?" Han Xiaoxuan asked.

"Tell the public that there are ten big boats and thirty small boats in the water village. When Xiaguan returned to Jeju, he had already ordered Coach Yang and Vice General Li to prepare for the trip, and they would arrive in Jeju in three days. As for the rest of the ships, they were only nailed around, but the time was a little tight! ”

Hearing that Zhou Ping was in charge of the Liangshan Water Thief, the arrogant look on Chen Zhe's face was a little restrained, he stretched out his left hand and waved, and asked: "Since Zhou Prison has taken you in charge of the water village, then your sons must be accustomed to water warfare!" ”

"Tell the military lord Chen, most of the sons and daughters under the command of the last general are the water couges of Zhao'an, and they are also familiar with boats!" Zhou Ping replied in a deep voice.

"That's good! Then this matter will be imprisoned by Lao Zhou! Chen Zhe said in a deep voice: "Most of Tong Shuai's subordinates are soldiers of the Western Army, they don't practice boats, there are many rivers and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is a great achievement for Zhou to escort you to collect good boats and the army to go south." Although the military law is strict, Tong Shuai's military exploits are also the heaviest, you see that I don't have this hand! Speaking of this, he raised his left hand, and Zhou Ping noticed that the other party's left hand only had three fingers, and the tail finger and ring finger were cut off from Qigen, as if they had been cut off with a knife and axe.

"The two fingers of a certain family were cut off by the thieves when they were holding the flag first, but they also moved five times. The special purpose is to be rampant, as long as you are good at living, a certain family will not wronged you if you are handsome! ”

"Thank you, Chen Zhongshi!" Zhou Ping hurriedly bowed and saluted, he believed that this Chen Zhe was not lying, this Tong Guan had been in the northwest for more than ten years anyway, and he had quite a lot of military achievements. Although he was notorious among the people of the Northern Song Dynasty, he must have his uniqueness in governing the army and fighting wars, otherwise the Western Xia people would not have deliberately defeated him because he was a favorite of Song Huizong. This Chen Zhe is just a commander in the pro-army, and he is already an official from the fifth grade. It can be seen that this great eunuch spared no effort in protecting the generals under his command. As long as he does a good job under him, there will definitely be no problem in getting promoted and making a fortune.

"It's a pity that it's all empty in the end!" Zhou Ping sighed in his stomach, he looked at the faces of Han Xiaoxuan and Chen Zhe, and asked carefully, "Xiaguan dares to ask." What is the origin of the Jiangnan demon thief? How far has it been? ”

Han Xiaoxuan sighed and said, "The leader of the demon thieves is surnamed Fang Mingla. It was originally a wealthy family in Qingxi County, western Zhejiang, and the local people ate more vegetables and served the devils, and formed their own associations. This Fang La is the leader of this society. Relying on the left road to confuse the public, it is quite popular in the local area. Because Wu Zhong was mostly trapped in the disturbance of Zhu Mian Huashi, and complained about the house, the thieves were unable to bear it by the people, and they gathered poor and idle people, so they became chaotic in October this year, burning houses, plundering gold and silk children, and coercing good people into soldiers. Jiangnan people are content with the peace, do not know the military revolution, listen to the sound of the golden drum and obey the order, and gather tens of thousands of people every day! In November, it fell into Qingxi, and in December, it fell into Mu and She. Trap Qu in the south and kill Peng Rufang, the county guard; Sweep Xincheng, Tonglu, Fuyang counties in the north, and force Hangzhou. ”

Speaking of this, Han Xiaoxuan's cheek muscles twitched slightly, revealing an unbearable look: "Whoever this demon thief wins an official, he will cut off his body, probe his lungs and intestines, or boil it with anointing oil, and shoot it indiscriminately, and prepare all the poison to repay his grievances." If you don't exterminate the clan by inch, how can you restore the hearts of the people in the world! ”

"What the minister said is very true!" Zhou Ping responded, but there was a lot of disapproval in his heart, those officials who were killed are estimated to be not a good thing in normal times, and now being killed by Fang La is also retribution, but this time point is too coincidental, I hope to pacify Jiangnan as soon as possible, and do not delay the great cause of conquering Liao.

Hangzhou. The ancient name is Yuhang, Fuchun, the spring and autumn period is the western border of the Yue country, and then belongs to Chu. The Qin and Han dynasties belonged to Huiji County. After Emperor Shun of the Later Han Dynasty, it belonged to Wu County. The Three Kingdoms Wu divided Dong'an County to govern Fuchun and find it. Jin belongs to Wuxing and Wu County. The Hou Jingwei of Song, Qi and Liang Yinzhi took Qiantang as Linjiang County and Fuyang as Fuchun County. Chen Zhi Qian Tang County. Sui Ping Chen, abolished the county and placed Hangzhou Prefecture in the early rule of Yuhang. Ten years after the opening of the emperor, he moved to Qiantang. Emperor Yang made a great career for three years, and changed his name to Yuhang County. Tang Fu for Hangzhou. At the beginning of Tianbao, it was called Yuhang County. At the beginning of the Qianyuan Dynasty, Hangzhou was restored. It is located at the mouth of the Qiantang River and at the end of the Grand Canal. Before the Sui Dynasty, the economic center and political center of the two Zhejiang, especially the eastern Zhejiang, was actually Yuezhou (also known as Huiji, that is, today's Shaoxing) in the Huiji Mountains, but with the excavation of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the development of the Hangjiahu Plain, the economic center of the two Zhejiang provinces gradually migrated to Hangzhou, especially after the Wuyue regime established by Qian Poliu in the late Tang Dynasty and the fifth dynasty built the capital of Hangzhou, while building the Hangzhou city wall, and on the other hand, developing the Hangjiahu Plain, which is mostly swampland, through polders and seawalls, making Hangzhou gradually become the economic center of the entire southeast region, after entering the Northern Song DynastyDue to the war and ecological damage to the traditional northern economic centers such as Guanzhong and Shanxi, the economic center moved to the southeast, and the Northern Song Dynasty government in Bianjing, the capital, relied on the wealth of Jianghuai and Jiangnan. It is no wonder that at that time there was a saying that "the order of the country is tied to the southeast". The famous sentence in Liu Sanchang's noun "Wanghai Tide" "smoke willow painting bridge, wind curtain green curtain, uneven 100,000 households" depicts the prosperity of Hangzhou at that time.

But the city of Hangzhou at the end of December of the second year of Xuanhe is a different scene, and there is no longer a "fishing lotus baby" outside the prosperous Wulin Gate and next to the West Lake, not to mention the high-rollers who "listen to the flute and drum while drunk" and "appreciate the smoke". In addition to the corpses scattered here and there on both sides of the road, there were groups of Manichaeans wrapped in silk scarves and armed with knives and guns.

In the past, the officials and archers in front of the yamen have long been gone, replaced by groups of people wrapped in silk scarves. In front of the yamen, there was a high platform made of bamboo, on which knelt more than a dozen men in tattered clothes, judging from their robes, they were officials of the imperial court not long ago. A tall man with thick hands and feet stood on the high platform and shouted loudly to the crowded people in the audience: "As the saying goes, the official family is the father, and the people are the children." How can there be a child who has worked hard all year round to get a little wealth, and the father and elder have seized all the truth that they have squandered it? ”

"Nope!" The onlookers responded in unison, Song Huizong Zhao Ji from the first year of Chongning (1102), set up the bureau in Suzhou, Hangzhou, manufacturing the palace used treasures and utensils, collecting strange flowers and stones, famous trees and fruits from all over the southeast, and transporting the Beijing division by land and water, which is the flower stone gang. As long as the officials of the Bureau of Creation fancy a certain family, every grass, tree, flower, and stone, if the family does not pay for their own redemption, they will have to pay for it to be transported to Tokyo, and it is not necessary to break the wall, tear down the house, and bankrupt the family. It can be said that Emperor Gen Yue (Song Huizong's private garden) is a stone and a tree, all of which are stained with the blood and tears of dozens or even hundreds of people in the south of the Yangtze River. The people of Jiangnan, whether rich or poor, are bankrupt and bankrupt, and naturally hate these silverfish who suck the people's fat and fatten themselves.

"Come on, bring everything up!" The stout man turned and made a gesture behind him, and dozens of young men in turbans carried baskets one by one, each basket full of gold ingots, silver ingots, jewels, copper coins, silk and other goods, and in a short time the stage was full, and these goods reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight.

"Rank father, these are all belongings found from the dog official's house, and the one that can be put on the table is not even one-tenth, do you think these dog officials should die!" The man pointed at the dozen officials on the stage and scolded loudly.

"Damn, shit! Cut it inch by inch! ”

"How can you kill only one of them, when you kill all of their clan, you can relieve your hatred!"

The crowd in the audience raised their arms and shouted, and many people even quarreled because of their different opinions on the method of execution, and even beat each other with their arms, and for a time there was chaos in the audience.

"Stay, stay! Listen to me! The stout man on the stage shouted loudly with his arms outstretched, his voice was loud, and he stood on the high platform, and everyone gradually calmed down when they heard the voice, and all eyes were fixed on him.

"Since these dog officials like money so much, well, let's give them money! Come! The stout man said loudly. With his voice, several sturdy men carried a large stove to the high platform, the stove burned extremely vigorously, and the flying sparks splashed everywhere, forcing several onlookers in front of the stage to instinctively stretch out their hands to cover it. All eyes were on the stove at once, and they didn't know what the man had in mind.

I saw the stout man put the iron pot on the stove, took out five or six gold ingots and a handful of gold jewelry from the basket beside him and threw them into the iron pot, and stabbed the iron pot twice in the vent, and the tongue of fire suddenly burst up, and in a short time the gold in the iron pot became an object between liquid and solid. The stout man gestured, and two of his men dragged one of the officers to the fire and kicked him hard in the knee, causing him to kneel on the ground. The stout man walked up to the official and said loudly, "Lu Xun, don't you like gold the most?" Well, today I will pour this golden juice into your mouth, so that you can drink as much as you can! ”

When I heard this, I was already frightened, and when I was about to open my mouth to plead, I was already stuffed into my mouth with a wooden wedge by others, and I pushed it hard, but I only heard a whining sound, and I didn't know what he said. The stout man snorted coldly, picked up the iron pot filled with melted gold, and tilted it slightly, only to see that the red gold liquid poured down the edge of the pot and poured into Zeng Chang's mouth. There was a sudden stench of burnt protein in the field, and the body that had been normal twitched sharply, but it couldn't break free from the two big iron tong-like hands pressed on his shoulders. A moment later, the man tilted his head and collapsed to the ground. (To be continued......)
