Nanjing City was called Jiangning Mansion in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the northwest direction outside the city of Jiangning, there is a ferry port near the Yangtze River, called Ningnan Ferry, echoing with the Ningbei Ferry on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Ningnan Ferry is hundreds of zhang away along the river, there is an endless stream of merchant ships, cargo ships, passenger ships, shouting, beckoning and greeting are intertwined, it is a prosperous scene.

The boatmen lived along the river, and gradually gathered into a village, and from the village into a town, the town was named after the ferry, called Ningnan Town, and eighty or ninety percent of the residents in the town lived by rocking the boat, and one percent were the owners of the boats, the boat owners, and they were the big rich families in the town.

…………………………………………………………………………

The boat was only about three feet, two boatmen, no sails, and a canopy, with six seats on each side of the tent, and it was a small passenger ship.

The boat was a long-used old ship, but it was very clean, and the tent was full of guests, who were chattering and gossiping to each other to pass the boring time of the cold season.

At the front of the ship, there is a person standing in the wind, full of white hair, casually hanging behind his head, flowing with the wind, looking mysterious and public, thinly dressed, but extremely luxurious, it is the best Suzhou silk, the dark purple warrior strength reveals that this person is a person who practices martial arts, no wonder he is not afraid of the cold, and the black silk robe of the coat covers the luxurious purple when it also wraps the sharp edge of this person. He has not spoken a word since he came on the ship, or he has nothing to say to the people on board, they live in two worlds, but now they have interacted by chance, and will still be separated...... To each his own world, to go on with his own life.

"Hey he~~~ Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water ~ The Waves Sweep Up the Heroes ~~~" Suddenly the old boatman shouted the trumpet, "Hey he~~~ The waves are all the heroes ~ Success or failure turns empty ~~~"

"Qingshan is still in ~ a few degrees of sunset red ~~~" On the boats coming and going on the river, the boatmen competed for the number, and the sound of the horn seemed to drive away the cold air of this winter. For a time, the river was lively, there was the Song Dynasty, the literary style was prosperous, regardless of the dignitaries, the small people in the alleys, all of them took the lyrics as fun.

"Hey, I don't know who wrote that." In the canopy, a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman said: "Even the Su family sighs to themselves~~~" The Su family he said was Su Shi.

As soon as the topic was introduced, the people on the boat nodded their heads again and again, and then a down-and-out scholar looked unconvinced: "What kind of person is he?" Hide your head and show your tail, don't dare to show your true face, either you have a false appearance, or you have other plans! ”

"Something else?" His opinion immediately whetted the appetite of the people on board, "What else is there to do?" ”

Seeing that the words had attracted everyone's attention, the scholar smiled and said, "Pretending to be a hermit and being a master, it's just grandstanding." ”

"Phew!" The merchant who was refuted just now made fun of it and shouted: "I think you are pretending to be a master and grandstanding!" ”

"You...... You ......" the scholar couldn't come out with a red neck, and finally "you" said: "You...... Insulting Sven! ”

"Hahaha~~~" The passengers laughed.

"Just a nerd." The merchant said in disgust: "Still a restless nerd." ”

Without waiting for the scholar to reply, the merchant continued to sarcastically say: "If you have the ability, you can also make a song?" Even Su everyone sighed to themselves Furu's good words, can you do it! ”

"Yes, yes, you can also make a song~~~~" The passengers naturally will not give up this opportunity to make fun of themselves.

The businessman got everyone's response and was more proud, and he was unforgiving: "I also said that people have a false appearance, and you have the ability to show us a false appearance~~~"

"Yes, yes, yes~~~, show us which ~~~~" The boatmen coaxed ~~~

The nerd seemed to be greatly insulted, but he couldn't get out of it, and finally "Humph! With a sound, he tightened his clothes, put his hands around his chest, lay back, closed his eyes and said nothing, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

The boatmen lost their fun for a moment, and then the merchant said: "Do you know, the Su family was relegated to Huangzhou to hear this poem, and it is said that it has suddenly become a lot because of this." The song he said naturally refers to the song "Linjiang Immortal" sung by the boatmen.

"Oh?" At this time, an old man next to the nerd smiled and said, "How can outsiders know? Could it be that you are familiar with the Su family? ”

The merchant looked at the old man and saw that the old man had an extraordinary bearing, dressed in a Tsing Yi Confucian suit, about fifty years old, with a smile and warmth in his eyes, and his expression and tone were approachable, but there was a faint sense of nobility. When the words of rebuttal came to his mouth, he swallowed it back, and said with the tactfulness of a small businessman who traveled south and north, and replied: "The old gentleman has been raised, how can he be called an outsider?" It's just a footman who travels from south to north. And said: "I really know this, I have a big customer in Jinling City, this customer is the most vassal and elegant, once said smooth, it was shown, he said that after the Su family heard this word, they wrote to Wang Xianggong in Jinling overnight, asking Wang Xianggong to help inquire who this word came from, and should make friends." When he mentioned the three words "Wang Xianggong", he couldn't help but hug his fist in the direction of Jinling, obviously very respectful, and said with a smile: "Hey, if you want to talk about the friendship of gentlemen, this Su family and Wang Xianggong are really models in the world, the court has different political opinions, refuting each other, and the friendship in private is also very deep. It is said that the official family decided because of this, leaving the lives of the Su family, so he was relegated to Huangzhou to be the deputy envoy of the regimental training. ”

The Wutai poetry case occurred in the second year of Yuanfeng (1079), which was an old thing five years ago, when Su Shi was forty-four years old and transferred to Huzhou Zhizhou. After taking office, he wrote a letter to the emperor "Huzhou Thank You Table", which was a routine matter, but Su Shi is a poet, and his pen is often emotional, even if he is an official article, he can't forget to add a little personal color, saying that he is "stupid and uncomfortable, it is difficult to follow the newcomer", "the old man is not troublesome or can shepherd the small people", these words were caught by the new party in pigtails, saying that he was "fooling the dynasty and arrogant", saying that he was "resentful and angry", "reprimanding public opinion", "harboring evil intentions", satirizing the government, reckless and rude, and disloyal to the emperor, such a big crime can be said to be more than innocent. They picked out the sentences from Su Shi's large number of poems that they thought implied irony, and for a while, there was a voice of rebellion against Su Shi in the court. On July 28 of this year, Su Shi was arrested by the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory and sent to Beijing, where dozens of people were implicated. (Wutai, that is, Yushitai, because it is planted with cypress trees, perched crows all year round, so it is called Wutai).

The old man seemed to have been touched on something, sighed, and said: "Since the prince changed the law, the court and the party have been fighting, and the world is no longer peaceful, fortunately? Unfortunate? Only the people are suffering! ”

The boatmen didn't know how to talk for a while, and fell silent, and after a long time, the merchant also seemed to be infected, sighed, and said, "What is the use of the good law if the officials are not clear?" Just like me, a small merchant, the old filial piety still gets tribute, and the new tax and silver can't fall, but it just adds to the burden~~~"

I don't know who it is, but sighed, "Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer. Dressed in a canopy, he fell silent and was speechless for a while......

……………………………………………………………………

Suddenly, "chirp~chirp~" two sharp sounds, it was the sound of the bow and arrow stringing, the nerd next to the old man suddenly opened his eyes, protected in front of the old man, and shouted: "There are dark arrows, lie down~~~"
