Fierce fighting continued in the south, but there was commotion in the capital.

After breakfast, Song Jiu was about to arrange to bring Yuping back.

I don't know if the ice and snow in Youzhou have melted, but the news will be transmitted to Youzhou and then back, there will be a period of time, and then send a boat to the seashore, at least close to the spring flowers in March, even in the outer Xing'an Mountains, the ice and snow have begun to melt.

Pan Li'er said: "This time it ended with Sister Yuping's regret. ”

"Not necessarily, when I see my father, I will miss it even more in the future." Song Jiu shook his head and said. There is no way to do this, let's see if we can take the Northern Song Dynasty Northern Expedition in the future, and before the defeat of Youzhou, take this old father-in-law's family to the capital in front.

"She's back just in time," Pan Li'er whispered in Song Jiu's ear.

"Again?"

Pan Li'er nodded, nervous and expectant, Song Jiu has a lot of children now, but there is only one son, Pan Li'er gave birth to three daughters, so she is very anxious. If you want to have a son, you must first be pregnant, so that you have a half chance of having a son.

But she has it, Song Jiu is also hard, and she wants to start being a bachelor again.

As he was talking, the porter Lu Bo walked in and said, "Jiulang, there is a people in Luoyang crying outside begging Jiulang to make the decision for him. ”

"I'm not an official, what's the grievance, go to Kaifeng Mansion."

"The old slave said the same thing, but he didn't listen."

"Let's go, go out and have a look."

Song Jiu walked out and saw a short man in his forties kneeling on the ground, surrounded by ordinary people. Song Jiu said, "You get up." ”

"If Song Hou doesn't make decisions for the little ones, the small ones won't get up."

"Tell me, let me be the master."

"The youngest daughter was eaten."

Bombed the battalion all at once.

Song Jiu's face changed drastically. "Come into the house and talk." ”

And he led the man into the house, and stepped back from the right and left. When it comes to the word cannibalism, Song Jiu already knows a little bit about it. Re-question: "Make it clear." ”

"The small family is poor. sold his daughter to the uncle's house as a slave maid, but the little one didn't see his daughter for a long time, and he couldn't rest assured, so he inquired about it, saying that the uncle ate a lot of slaves and maids, and even after the matter spread, he forcibly bought the children of the people as maids, and the little one was unsatisfactory, so he immediately killed and ate them. Many traffickers and coffin shop merchants came and went to his house day and night. Sell a handmaid or a coffin to him. The younger daughter couldn't see it, and most of it was eaten by him. The big man cried.

After Wang Jixun arrived in Luoyang, Song Jiu had a lot of things to do, so he really didn't pay attention to it. It turned out that this man-eating demon was eating people in Luoyang.

But this is not a joke, the phenomenon of cannibalism was often heard in ancient times, and this is why Li Chuyun ate prisoners. There are still those barbarian leaders in the Kuixia area who often eat barbarian slaves and Han slaves. But that is the far place of the Tiangao Emperor, not to mention Song Jiu, even Zhao Kuangyin is helpless. A little governing. It will soon rebel in disobedience, and maybe it will be glorified into a national uprising by a group of experts with bad brains in later generations.

Where not to count.

Look at the results of Li Chuyun's eating human food. This person is both civil and martial, and he is a first-class good official, and it can be said that his talent is better than Zhao Pu. But because of this, Song Jiu was dissatisfied, and the ministers were also dissatisfied. The people of Hunan are even more dissatisfied.

Not to mention that Wang Jixun eats innocent people. In the Song Dynasty, slaves and maids were not slaves and maids in the Tang Dynasty, and they had a certain degree of personal freedom. said that slaves and maids are ugly, but in fact, they are really according to Song Law. They were hired maids, not slaves.

Therefore, this matter must be cautious, Song Jiu asked, "Do you have any evidence?" ”

"That's Uncle Guo, how can the little one have evidence, he came to ask, but he was beaten out by his family's servants."

Song Jiu walked a few steps and said, "He is the uncle of the country, and cannibalism is a big crime, I can't listen to you, you stay at my house for a few days first, I'll ask." ”

"Thank you, Song Hou."

Song Jiu asked Guo Da to settle him down and come to Kaifeng Mansion. The main thing is that he has no official position and cannot be managed. So I had to ask Zhao Kuangyi for help. The Kaifeng Mansion said that Zhao Kuangyi was not there, so Song Jiu went to Zhao Kuangyi's palace again.

Zhao Kuangyi was packing his bags and seemed to be out hunting.

I don't know why he stopped Zhao Kuangyin from giving Song Jiuguan, but he attached great importance to Song Jiu, and when he heard the porter's report that Song Jiu asked to see him, he immediately opened the corner door and let Song Jiu in. Although it is a corner door, it is an external appearance, Song Jiu came to my house and only deserved to open the corner door, but people greeted the back of the corner gate. Looking at Song Jiu, he asked, "Song Jiu, what are you looking for this king?" ”

It seemed that he wanted to leave urgently, so he stood by the corner door and asked questions.

Song Jiu told the story.

"Alas, Song Jiu, you are too lenient."

"Second king, why do you say this."

"You haven't heard of this until now? The king had already heard about it. ”

"Why didn't the two kings say it?"

"Who is left behind in Xijing?"

"General Jiao."

"How is he?"

"It is said that he likes to read history books, knows how to govern, and has good governance everywhere he goes."

"What you don't know is that the second emperor's nephew has made a family relationship with the Jiao family, and he is about to marry the Jiao family's wife soon."

Song Jiu understood. In the past, he felt very confused in many places, including Zhao Kuangyin not making Zhao Dezhao the crown prince. It's still confusing, but it's a little clearer than before. Zhao Dezhao is not small, Zhao Kuangyin did not appoint him as the crown prince, there are no more than two reasons, Zhao Kuangyin himself is strong, and he is afraid of threatening his position by making the crown prince too early. But this is unlikely, Zhao Kuangyin now dares to reuse Zhao Kuangyi with his cronies, why don't he dare to set up Zhao Dezhao?

Doesn't Zhao Kuangyi have a name?

In the middle, Zhao Kuangyi may have also used some small means, but it is mainly Zhao Kuangyin's personal preference. Zhao Defang is the son of Queen Wang, who loves Wu and Wu, and is getting older soon. However, before the crown, Zhao Kuangyin could not stand, since ancient times, once Zhao Defang was established as the crown prince, it would definitely cause some controversy, but the country has not yet been unified, there are Southern Tang Dynasty, there are Northern Han. The Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty won it, just as Zhao Defang came of age, and it was time to establish the crown prince. Moreover, he is in charge in the capital, and Jiao Jixun is in Luoyang, Xijing, which will not cause too much chaos.

How Jiao Jixun dealt with his son-in-law's own uncle.

Zhao Kuangyi said again: "And how many nobles are there in Luoyang now?" My grandfather, Zhao Xianggong, and others. Why don't they say it? ”

"Won't ......"

"It's okay if you don't believe it, this case will either be under Luoyang's management. Either it will be under the control of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and you will guide the people to the Wengu Courtyard to beat the Wengu. Appealing to the Imperial Historical Observatory. But I warn you, Hebei has fallen, many people have resentment in their hearts, you can't meddle in this matter, otherwise it will bring disaster to you. ”

"Second king, this is cannibalism."

"I know the Dao, but do you believe that there is a Heavenly Dao?"

The divine horse of the Heavenly Dao, Song Jiu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Believe in the way of heaven, sooner or later this kid will have retribution. You kid. It just so happened that he went hunting with the king. ”

"Second king, this is not a good time for hunting."

"Yes, but today is a good time for hunting, and this king heard that a goblin came out of the hole, so he was very excited and prepared to take down this goblin."

"Goblins, two kings, don't be gullible. Zi is silent and blames the gods, this peaceful world, the goblins who come. ”

Zhao Kuangyi was happy and said, "If you come with me, you will know the Tao." ”

Song Jiu curiously followed Zhao Kuangyi on the horse. Zhao Kuangyi asked, "Song Jiu, this king heard that your copper smelting furnace has eyebrows?" ”

"I can only say that I have some clues, and I am not as blind as I used to be. It can't be put into production yet, how did the two kings know? ”

"It's a big deal. Since ancient times, copper coins have not been enough, and our dynasty is even more scarce. Can this king not pay attention? Now that you have a clue, let's speed up the research and development, and report the good news to the imperial court when we take the Southern Tang Dynasty. That's when the icing on the cake comes in. ”

"Second king, Wei Chen didn't dare to reply with certainty."

"Try your best, and, what clock changes a name, what ends, it's hard to hear."

"Change your name?" Song Jiu thought for a while and said, "It's not called Zhong, what's it called?" ”

"Where do I know the way?"

"Don't be so shy about it."

"What do you kid know, why does the imperial brother value you, half of it is your talent, and half of it is your name, Song Jiu, Song Jiu, otherwise when Tao Gu impeached you, you would have to be punished by this king, and it would be your turn to get away with it today."

But it made Song Jiu difficult, if he didn't call it a bell, what would he call it, would he continue to call it a water leak hourglass?

"Also, it's that clock, it's a really ugly name, it's researched, don't produce, continue to improve, and let copper smelting be in front, then it means that your public heart is greater than your selfishness."

Song Jiu's mouth opened, Zhao Kuangyi's words made him feel very strange, I don't know what the reason is, Zhao Kuangyi didn't let him be an official. But now that he is saying this, this is clearly making him make a great contribution, and he has made a great contribution, doesn't Zhao Kuangyin still let him become an official? This inconsistent approach made Song Jiuyun foggy, but as soon as he was about to ask, he immediately shut his mouth. He still hadn't figured out the reason, but he vaguely felt that the big event he was worried about was finally approaching......

Out of the Nanxun Gate, the group continued to gallop forward.

Song Jiu asked, "Second King, where are we going?" ”

"It's not easy to hunt goblins, you have to be in the wilderness, so no one worries, the place we went to on this trip is Nanshan."

Song Jiucai didn't believe in any goblins, and said that there were goblins, so let's go and take a look. Galloping along the avenue for a while, a big man rode a horse to greet him, Song Jiu knew, this person's name is Wang Rong, I heard that it used to be Ma Renyu's servant, and his arm strength was outstanding, Ma Renyu let Zhao Kuangyi see it when he entered Beijing, and he admired this person very much, so he asked Ma Renyu to come over. Ma Renyu was a little reluctant, but Zhao Kuangyi wanted it, and Ma Renyu couldn't help but give it, so he became Zhao Kuangyi's left and right.

A few years ago, the capital was safe, people were comfortable, what kind of things happened for money, there were many cases of abduction and deception, Zhao Kuangyi implemented a "strike hard" in the capital, and killed many thieves. These nurturing warriors once made great achievements in the middle.

This is very normal, not only in Zhao Kuangyi's mansion, but also in Zhao Pu's mansion, strictly speaking, the Song Jiu family also has it, and Guo Da can also be called warriors.

However, with Zhao Kuangyi, as long as these people don't make mistakes, they will all be determined to make a career in the future.

Wang Rong came to Zhao Kuangyi's ear and whispered a few words, and Zhao Kuangyi shouted: "Let's go." ”

Not far ahead is Yuwangtai, if the Qingming Festival comes, there will be a lot of tourists, but now there are very few tourists, only a few people one after another. The horse galloped quickly on the mountain road, getting closer and closer to Yuwangtai, and a group of people appeared in front of him. There are men and women, and the lady in the middle is Xu. Song Jiu didn't expect it at first, but suddenly heard Zhao Kuangyi shouting: "The demon girl looks at the arrow." ”

Hugh underestimated Zhao Kuangyi's martial arts, although his military talent was not as good as Zhao Kuangyin's, he was not weak. Since childhood, when I played, I let my friends be afraid, not to convince people with virtue, but to make them afraid to obey him, if they don't accept it, they will be beaten, if they are not convinced, if they are not convinced, they will not be able to obey, so they are called afraid of submission. In particular, he is good at archery.

Before Song Jiu could react, the arrow in Zhao Kuangyi's hand flew out of the sky and quickly galloped in front of Xu.

With a scream, Xu's arrow fell.

Several of her subordinates also didn't react, Zhao Kuangyi came to their eyes, turned over and dismounted, kicked Xu Shi's corpse a few times with his foot, and said, "Carry this goblin down and burn it." ”

"Whoa."

The entourage brought by Zhao Kuangyi carried Xu's corpse down, picked up dry firewood everywhere, and prepared to burn the corpse, but the beads of sweat on Song Jiu's forehead couldn't help but drip big, whether it was famous or not, or whether it was a goblin or not, this was Zhao Kuangyin's woman, but let Zhao Er kill it with one arrow.
