Chapter 383: Grievances of the Ages
Under the impetus of the crown prince, some changes have taken place in the officialdom of Suzhou City, and it is not known what kind of effect the chemical effects of these changes will have.
Some of those who were anxious to find security in the crown prince were complacent. In their opinion, as long as the queen does not die for a day and General Sima does not commit treason, it is unlikely that the crown prince will ascend to the throne. Even if the general fell out with the King of Qi.
What's more, His Majesty was in the prime of spring and autumn.
This change also quietly affected the situation of the entire Jiangnan County, and then played a role in the change of the pattern of Huaiyang Road. Interested people are observing in the dark, and they are also laying out in the dark.
Compared with the changes in officialdom, a mood called nervousness is more touching, and the source of this emotion is the black squad that appears on the street from time to time, and the heavy cavalry that Suzhou City has not seen for more than ten years.
When a black torrent of 100 people entered Suzhou City from the north gate, only the sound of Dada's horses' hooves could be heard on the street. The pedestrians leaned against the wall, and the people upstairs held their breath and looked at the cavalry without blinking, even their faces hidden under their armor, and their hearts were terrified.
Some of the older people still remember the events of those days, and remember that the bands of bright red cavalry galloped back and forth in the streets, killing all those who dared to resist, and then continued south.
A young man supported an old man in an exquisitely decorated upstairs, looked down behind the fine railing, and waited until the small number of heavily armored cavalry had completely disappeared, and then he came back to his senses and sat back in his chair.
The old man's hands trembled a little, and he couldn't hold the delicate dishes on his plate.
After three tries, the old man gave up, then leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.
"Uncle" The young man couldn't help but cry out with concern.
The old man waved his hand, and then said, "It's okay, I just remembered some unhappy things." ”
The young man was silent. Thinking of a person who was also in the city, he also remembered some unhappy things, so he became uncomfortable.
This young man is Lu Juan, the little master of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The person who makes him uncomfortable is naturally Xie Shence.
Lu Juan poured a glass of wine for the old man, and then silently ate and drank.
His first meeting with Xie Shence was very unpleasant. Although he also reflected after that time, it was indeed his rudeness, but Xie Shence's words still made him very uncomfortable. Especially since he still can't answer those three questions. So he threw his head up and drank a glass of wine.
Later, when he repaired books in Wang's house, he was humiliated by Wang Jiehua in disguise, but he didn't think it was Wang Jiehua's fault, but Xie Shence's fault. After that, he was in Jindu and was injured by Xie Shence. So he drank another glass of wine.
Now thinking of being in the same city with him, Lu Juan felt a strong sense of shame in his heart. Another glass of wine.
However, Lu Juan looked at the old man sitting opposite, and the shame in his heart faded a lot.
Compared with Uncle Shi, my own experience is really nothing. Rikumaki continued to drink, and the cup could not be stopped.
There is a reason why Rikumaki thinks so.
Because, this old man, if the humiliation he suffers is placed on Lu Rolli, Lu Roll will definitely not be able to bear it by himself.
This old man was once a defeated subordinate of Xie Yi.
If someone can recognize it at this time, the old man who can't even pick up the dishes is called Pan Nanshan, and he will be able to understand Lu Juan's mood.
Pan Nanshan, more than 20 years ago, was the general of the Northern Army of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Of course, since it was more than 20 years ago and he fought with Xie Yi, the ending naturally goes without saying.
Guanshan Fifty Prefectures, after becoming the laughing stock of Lu Shuqi in the Southern Song Dynasty, also became a pain that Pan Nanshan could not erase.
After the defeat, Pan Nanshan was dismissed, because the family was quite powerful in the Southern Song Dynasty and had the same friendship with the head of the Song family, so he was saved. Pan Nanshan, who failed to be martyred, was disheartened and demoralized, so he spent time traveling around the world.
Lu Juan went to Suzhou this time to repair books, and it was just an accident to meet Pan Nanshan.
Pan Nanshan has a deep friendship with the Lu family, and several of Lu Juan's brothers have learned from him. And he is also very fond of land rolls.
I haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, and once I meet an old friend in a foreign country, it is a great joy in life, but this joy, with the appearance of the black heavy cavalry, immediately turned into sadness.
Two people, two generations, fell into silence because of two generations of a certain family.
For a long time, Lu Juan felt that he was already a little drunk, but he still picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth, he had always been calm, but at this time he just wanted to get drunk.
A big hand pressed his hand that held the wine glass tightly, and Lu Juan raised his head to meet Pan Nanshan's stern gaze.
Pan Nanshan said in a deep voice: "You drank too much. ”
Lu Juan smiled, and then said, "Uncle Shi, let me drink." ”
Pan Nanshan looked at Lu Juan, sighed after a long time, and then let go.
On this day, Lu Juan, known as the little master of the Southern Song Dynasty, ushered in the first drunkenness of his life in a restaurant in Suzhou City, and he was drunk in a mess.
Xie Shence naturally didn't know that an old acquaintance had been lying in bed for three days because of him. He has always looked down on Rikumaki and despised Rikumaki even more for his obscenity, so if he knew, he would definitely carry a bench outside Rikumaki's room and wait for him to wake up, and then try his best to taunt him.
Most of the cavalry in Suzhou City were mobilized by Xie Shence. In addition, Xie Shence also prepared a hundred black-armored guards, and the shadow of the protective prince was drawn out by him fifteen, ready to go, just waiting for the cavalry to detect the hiding place of the Erli people, and then thundered out.
Xie Shence, in the name of the commander of the Tiqi Division, asked the Taihu Lake sailors to blockade the Taihu Lake with all their might, and after Hu Yincheng weighed it, he used four large warships, plus eleven medium-sized warships, in addition to countless fishing boats and boats, to tightly seal the surface of Taihu Lake. This is almost half of the elite of the Taihu Lake Water Division.
At? In late October, the tense atmosphere in Suzhou not only did not fade, but became more and more breathless.
It was early afternoon, and there were no people on the street, and it was eerily quiet. Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a group of horsemen surrounded an inn, and the crossbowmen on the roof were waiting for them, and the inn was boiling.
The howls of the women, the cursing, the begging for mercy, the breaking of tables and chairs, the roars, mixed with the sound of swords unsheathed and clashing, aroused the curiosity of the people around them, and then many people peeked through the cracks in the windows to see the situation of the inn.
Someone saw a black shadow break through the window, and instantly fled far away, but then was shot by a shadowy arrow, and several arrows rolled down from the roof, and he could not die again. Someone saw the inn's window smashed open, and there were people injured inside, and the blood was flying high. Of course, there were also people who saw the horseman dressed in black being killed.
After a while, the sound in the inn subsided, and a few horsemen were seen carrying out a few unknown people and throwing them into the carriage. There were also horsemen who were lifted out and placed in wagons. After doing all this, Ti Cavalry quickly retreated from the street.
After that, the government sent people to search from house to house. Some people were so frightened that they fainted on the spot, some people were so frightened that they ran to the bed and covered their heads, and some people stuffed money to make the officials show mercy, but they couldn't find North after being slapped by two slaps.
For two days in a row, several such things happened.
The city of Suzhou was officially shrouded in terror by Xie Shence.
A scholar reported to Rikumaki in a mansion, and after hearing this, Rikumaki frowned.
Xie Shence started too quickly, and among the people he killed in the past two days, there were not only people who Lu Juan didn't know, but also two strongholds of Southern Song Dynasty spies!
And it seems that Xie Shence didn't stop at all.
Lu Maki said in a low voice for a long time, "Immediately, cut off all contacts, let them all lie dormant, suspend all the affairs at hand, and make not exposing the target as the first priority." ”
The scholar was taken aback, and then said, "Childe, won't we fight back?" ”
Lu Juan sneered: "Counterattack? No kidding. This is the Jin Kingdom, it is the city of Suzhou, and Tiqi has arranged a large number of elites here, what can we do? What's more, the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom is in Suzhou City, if he acts rashly, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be caught by Xie Shence, in case he frames my Song State to assassinate the prince of the Jin Kingdom, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
The scholar bowed his head, but still looked unconvinced.
Lu Juan knew his thoughts, and said in a slow voice: "I know that you have a bad heart and think that some things are my loss, so you are upset for me, and you want to take this opportunity to get some justice for me." But now is not the time. Although the cavalry has also folded some manpower in our hands in the past two days, this does not mean that we can fight, take the initiative, and take advantage. Thanks to the insidious cunning of Shence, maybe we are waiting for us to expose ourselves and throw ourselves into the net. ”
"The most important thing is that my spy of the Great Song Dynasty is for the country, not for the individual, which I especially want you to understand. Don't do it again. ”
The scholar replied in a low voice, "Yes, the villain understands." ”
"However, Childe Xie Shence seems to be searching for someone, even if we don't do it personally, can we contact those people and provide them with some information, so that they can go to Xie Shence for trouble?"
Lu Juan moved slightly, then thought about it, and finally shook his head and said, "We don't even know who the other party is, and it's taboo to act rashly." Hold your ground and wait for the right moment. ”
The scholar agreed, and went down.
Lu Juan walked to the window and looked at the starry sky, not at all the urge to write a poem, but felt that those shining stars were like the reflected light on the arrows shooting towards him, which made him a little unable to open his eyes.
The chaotic situation in Suzhou City has been going on for a long time, and this situation is not suitable for repairing books. The leased house is about to expire, which is not a big problem, just add money to renew the lease. It's just that those scholars and editors who came with them were very uneasy when they came in, and they were all frightened when they heard that they might delay their return to China, and it took a long time for Lu Juan to be patient and appease these people.
It's just that after appeasing them, Lu Juan's own heart is a little messy
Xie Shence already knew that he was in Suzhou City.
