Chapter 167: See the Boar Forest Again
There are strange things every year, and this year there are a lot of them!
The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was assassinated in the palace last night, the north gate of the outer city was captured by strongmen, the marshal of the Golden Camp Palace, the three lieutenants Gao Yu suppressed the bandits, lost the soldiers, and thousands of forbidden troops were stripped and thrown outside the city!
One after another! At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is so rampant?
The Merry Emperor Zhao Ji was lazy and only held a court meeting on the fifth, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth days of the lunar month every month. Unusually, the court meeting was held early and late at night. A group of officials who were disturbed from their dreams came sleepily!
Defeat the Liangshan Bo thieves!
This is the topic around which the DPRK revolves this morning.
Zhao Ji's roar of "the opposite" was repeated, and the eunuchs heard the forbidden army outside the Zichen Hall clearly. If you want to raise 100,000 troops, you will go to encircle and suppress Liangshanbo.
An army of 100,000 went to suppress bandits, wouldn't the people of the world laugh off their big teeth? This joking proposal was naturally vetoed by many ministers, and eventually raised troops to crusade, but how to go to the expedition and who to send is appropriate, there are three things to consider.
And there is a small meeting in the palace, and it can be lively outside!
Last night, the shouts shook the sky, the streets and alleys were full of blood, and thousands of forbidden soldiers were killed.
With so many people dead, this unprecedented news cannot be hidden.
I don't know why it spread so quickly, and as soon as it was dawn, there was talk about it. It is not known which of the people who lacked virtue put up notices to publicize this matter. At the time of the three poles of the sun, no one in the huge Bianliang City did not know.
According to a person who claims to be in the know, the people of the Li Mansion in Fanlou went to the empty building, Li Xingshou in Bianliang City was nowhere to be found, and the one in the palace who had appeared in Fanlou was almost beaten. After that, the assassination and the siege of the city began at the same time.
Compared with how many people died, the news was even more exciting and made people rush to tell each other.
One spread ten to hundreds, spread to the boiling.
Restaurants and tea shops in Bianliang City, Goolan Washe, everyone is talking, and everyone is spreading. As soon as they meet, they will say, "Hey, do you know last night......"
Everyone swore by it, patting their chests and saying that they had noses and eyes, as if they had seen it with their own eyes. Some of them don't, some of them are good and bad, chasing after the wind and shadows, hearsay, what he did was not what he did, all of them were crumpled and mixed......
Anyway, there is a secret passage to Fan Lou in the palace, a bloody case caused by jealousy, thousands of people died, the north gate was captured by a group of grass bandits, Gao Yu was defeated, incompetence and other remarks were propagated everywhere.
Many literati and writers criticized and wrote, this was the most shameful night of the Great Song Dynasty! Singing of the showmanship, adaptation of slogans, and singing of musical scores.
Taiwei Gao's son, Gao Yanei, and his minions were carried out of Zhang's mansion. I don't know who has a big mouth, and the news that Gao Shide was castrated spreads. It has set off several layers of wind and waves in Bianliang City, which is already very lively. Those ladies who didn't dare to go out were showy, and the little jasper cheered.
Some rejoice, others grieve!
Taiwei Gao Yu was scolded so much that he was spurting blood, dragging his tired body and going home. As soon as he entered the house, the old butler cried out for trouble! When he came to the hall, he saw the miserable appearance of his son.
was beaten into a pig's head, and his crotch was blurred, and he became a wasted person. Gao Yanei, who was shouting that he couldn't live, saw Gao Yu coming, and he didn't know where he got the strength, so he ran over and hugged his waist and cried.
"Woo wow wow, daddy, it's gone, the child has become a waste."
"Ah, whoever you are, you're going to die for me!"
Gao Yu felt his son's grief and indignation, and thought of the scene of his fiasco and being scolded, the accumulated anger exploded and roared.
However, it is not a straw bag that he can mix with the official position of Tai Lieutenant, and after the gaffe, he asked about the ins and outs of the matter, and learned that he was killed in Zhang's mansion. Thinking of Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, he gritted his teeth. Immediately, as if he remembered something, his face instantly became gloomy.
If it was in the past, there would have been assassins in Bianliang City who would definitely dig three feet into the ground and search the whole city under martial law. But if the thieves have escaped, there is no need to close the gates.
The houses at the north gate were burned to ruins by the fire, and the ground was dark red with ice slag, and the ground was in shambles. The people who came in and went and the forbidden army who maintained law and order discussed.
"Sister-in-law, don't cry. My brother is safe and sound, and we can catch up. A carriage drove out of the city, driven by a pockmarked man, who heard a faint cry in the carriage, and couldn't help but turn sideways to comfort him.
"Woo woo woo...... it's all up to my uncle." Half an hour later, the choking of a woman and the babbling of a child were heard in the carriage.
"Drive!" The pock-faced man sighed, flicked his whip, and the carriage sped up again.
It didn't take long for the carriage to leave Bianliang City!
More than a dozen fast horses flew out of the urn city and rushed straight out of the city in the evasion of passers-by. Along the way, many people's loads of goods or caravans were scattered.
is so arrogant, galloping on horseback, many people scolded.
Someone in the forbidden army recognized it, it was the palace marshal's mansion Junjian!
……
At the beginning of late December, it was a cold wind and a light snow fell under the gloomy sky. The two Xie Cha, carrying packages on their backs and ruthless sticks of water and fire, walked out of the roadside village store, wrapped their clothes, looked up at the sky, and lowered their "really bad luck".
"Hurry up! Waiting for the New Year? ”
"I haven't even walked a hundred miles for three days, hurry up!"
After waiting for a moment in the cold wind, the two chasers became impatient, turned around and went into the house, dragged one of the prisoners out of the village shop, and took the road to the north.
This prisoner was burly and stocky, seven feet five or six long, wearing a pair of seven-pound iron leaf yolls, his hair was unkempt and his face could not be seen clearly, but there were gold seals on his forehead and sideburns, and he was dressed in a sin dress and a sin skirt, thin and dirty.
The three of them walked for a while, and it was okay at first.
But as the snow fell heavier and heavier, the road was difficult, and the prisoner was wounded again while wearing the flail, and the more he walked, the more he walked, the slower and slower he walked, and the faint red behind him was faintly visible, until he began to walk and limped.
The two Xie Jie stopped and walked in front, looking at the appearance of the prisoner and shouting: "Hurry up, don't grind, how long will it take to go more than 2,000 miles?" ”
"Master, are the stick sores better? Be more considerate of me and wait, let's go! ”
"Hey, two big brothers, the back sores have not healed, and they can't go fast, so forgive me." The prisoner gritted his teeth and moved, listened to the urging of the two solutions, and clenched his fists and said good things.
He ate a few meals of boards in Kaifeng Mansion one after another, his back and buttocks were beaten to the point that his skin was opened, and in just a few days, where did he have time to heal? It can be said that every step of the way gritted his teeth and persevered, and his body trembled slightly in pain.
A strong man named Zhang Long in the solution is fierce-looking, with a scar from his left eye to his chin, known as Brother Scar Long, who was furious when he heard this: "Dry! If you are considerate, who will be considerate of my brothers? It's almost the New Year, I received this errand from you, I came and went for two months, and I had to be separated from my family. ”
The man's scar squirmed, his face became even more hateful, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became: "Others eat fragrant and spicy food during the New Year, and the brothers send you to drink the northwest wind." You said that you are involved in officialdom and corruption and bribery, and you don't understand the rules at all. ”
"Embezzlement?" The prisoner was stunned for a moment, and then laughed sadly: "Hahaha......, how has Xu ever been corrupt and bribed?" If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, up and down Bianliang City, no one knows that Xu was framed? ”
"Hmph, you ......" The strong man was not angry, and wanted to scold when he pointed at the prisoner. Another Xie Jie named Zhao Hu hurriedly stepped forward to play a round.
"Brother, say a few words! I don't know who the teacher is? Xu Guan'er, my brother has a straight temper, and it is indeed almost the end of the year to receive such a hard job, he has some thoughts, don't take it to heart. ”
"Look, there's a forest ahead, and it's not too late to take shelter from the wind and rest."
"Hey, the two of you are implicated, let's go!"
These two escorts, one sings red face, the other sings white face. How is the prisoner not clear? I could only grit my teeth and endure it, and I accelerated my pace, and the stick sores on my body recurred, and the blood stained the red sin skirt, flowing along the body to the legs and feet, and with each step, there was a blood mark on the ground.
Seeing this scene, the two interpreters looked at each other again and did not say anything more. They are the husbands of Bianliang City, and they have been doing this for several years. A few days ago, I received an errand to escort the prisoners to the Cangzhou prison camp.
Just because the prisoner's house was raided and his property was confiscated, when the prisoner was escorted out of Bianliang City, there was no family to see him off, and he did not get any benefits.
They are neither deaf nor blind, how can they not know that in front of them, this prisoner is really wronged. Seeing that the other party ended up with such a miserable appearance, and having no grievances with the other party, he could only sigh unluckily and took a job without oil and water.
Along the way, the attitude has improved a lot!
The three of them walked and rested, and finally came to the woods.
I don't feel it from a distance, but when I get closer, I find that the ancient trees that hug the thick ones abound, even in winter, the evergreen pines and cypresses are also luxuriant, it is an old forest of ancient trees, and the woods are dim and dark, gloomy and terrifying.
The two solvers watched outside for a while, and recognized the place.
Came to the Boar Forest!
Zhao Hu put his hand on the pergola and watched for a while, then looked at the prisoner next to him and proposed: "Teacher, there is some bad luck here, let's change places!" ”
The prisoner looked at the gloomy forest, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Xu has heard of the wild boar forest, and buried many prisoners who died unjustly. But a certain family has never done anything wrong, nor has it offended others. The family heirloom armor is lost, and the wish of others is granted, so let's rest here! ”
"That's it, we don't have bad pus like Dong Chao and Xue Ba." Zhang Long echoed with a big grin, helped the prisoner and walked towards the wild boar forest.
Just when the three of them came to the edge of the forest and were ready to enter!
Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and more than ten horsemen galloped towards him. After a while, he was two or three hundred meters away, and the leader roared like thunder: "Ah, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu stopped, the order of Kaifeng Mansion was issued." ”
The two solutions involuntarily stopped.
The prisoner chuckled in his heart when he heard this, and his pupils shrank when he looked at the team again, and he had already recognized more than ten horses as military horses from the palace marshal's mansion.
Why did you come here all of a sudden?
It was just a moment for him to figure it out, presumably for himself. Until he ended up in such a miserable end, he still couldn't escape it. couldn't help but look at the sky and cry out: "Could it be that I, Xu Ning, died here today?" ”
The sound of rumbling horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, but there was a "huh" in the forest.
