When someone laughs, someone cries.

Behind this happy transaction, what is hidden is Wang Kongmu's deeply hurt heart.

There is a way that I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch.

Wang Zheng, who is bent on clinging to Shangguan, is like wiping his butt paper, oh no, in the Song Dynasty, this thing was called a toilet chip, and after it was used, he was immediately regarded as an outcast by the treacherous and cunning Wang Shizhong.

Wang Zheng walked out of the Zhizhou Yamen in despair, he was proud of figuring out people's hearts and calculating others all his life, but he often walked by the river without getting his shoes wet, and he Wang Zheng also had a day when he ran out of calculations.

Wang Shizhong seems to be cunning and greedy, but he is still very strong, the sea is ups and downs, the two countries are officials, and Wang Zheng, who is a mere official, can not see through it.

Wang Zheng made a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate that from the beginning, he was actually one of the objects that Wang Shi was preparing to liquidate. Killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, Sun Li is at least still a chicken, but Wang Zheng is not even a chicken.

The state and county officials of the Song Dynasty were liuguan, but most of the officials were locals, and the term of office of these state and county officials was generally three years, and some even moved away in a year or even a few months, while the officials were in office for a long time and knew all the affairs well.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, a strange phenomenon generally emerged throughout the country, in many prefectures and counties, if the officials' methods were not strong enough, or their tenure was too short or their practical ability was too poor, in order to make a promotion or not have an accident during their tenure, they would inevitably bow their heads to the local officials in order to seek their support, so the power was lost.

Only a very small number of elite-level officials can not only get ahead from the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination, which is a single-plank bridge where thousands of troops rush to travel, but also rely on familiarity with the Four Books and Five Classics, and then become officials, they can also quickly master various political skills, subdue the officials, and make achievements.

Such officials are often either ruthless and unscrupulous corrupt officials, or capable ministers who will go down in history.

And among the kings, it is naturally the former.

Therefore, if it is said that the officers who dare to meddle in the smuggling of salt only need to be cracked down, then the officials who deceive their superiors and subordinates, harm the public and private interests, and have the audacity to kill them.

The position of Confucius, as one of the few high-ranking officials in a state and holding real power, Wang Shizhong must be firmly in his own hands, and he must personally find and promote a candidate who can be controlled.

Wang Shizhong is a corrupt official, but he is not an ordinary corrupt official who is simply trying to make money. As a traitor who abandoned Liao and went to the Song Dynasty, he has no way out, and the reason why he can still have no less status and power than in the Liao State is that he is now burdened with the mission of Lianjin to destroy Liao.

Serving as the governor of Dengzhou, restarting the sea route, bypassing the Liao State and Goryeo, and connecting the Jin State from the sea route, this is the value of his existence, which is the Song Huizong himself confessed to him in person, so he must complete this mission. Therefore, he desperately made money and seized power, in order to pave the way for the exploration of sea routes.

Other ordinary officials who failed to live up to the emperor's orders were removed from their posts at most, and he would definitely be treated as an outcast.

The fate of the abandoned son is death.

Wang Zheng is an abandoned son, and when he knew that Zhizhou ordered the release of Xie Zhen and Jie Bao, he realized that his death was not far off.

Sure enough, Wang Zheng returned home with his front foot, and a team of soldiers on the back foot surrounded his house in the east and west corners of Dengzhou City.

The leader of the team was Sun Li, who had just worshiped under the Zhizhou Gate.

"The governor of the state has an order, and the state government Confucius Wang is doing something to violate the law of the country, embezzle money and grain, and create unjust prisons, and he is now exempted from his duty and sent to prison, waiting to be released!"

Sun Li straightened his face and loudly announced Wang Zheng's crime, and then waved his hand, and a small team of house raiders composed of Xiang Jun and state government officials rushed into the house.

The courtyard immediately resounded with the sound of ping-pong smashing and stern scolding, occasionally mixed with a few fierce and short screams of female dependents. Sun Li closed his eyes and listened to these movements silently, and slowly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He stepped into the courtyard, followed by two soldiers, and immediately closed the gate of the courtyard.

After a while, the gate of the courtyard was reopened, and Sun Li, who was stained with a string of blood stains on his chest, walked out expressionlessly, and announced lightly to a large circle of people who came to watch the excitement in front of the door:

"The criminal Wang Zheng, resisting the government, resisting arrest with weapons, has been beheaded on the spot!"

There is a saying in the green forest, and it is not exempt from vulgarity in the officialdom, Sun Li, who killed Wang Zheng, did not stay here, but left a house of goods to Zhizhou's henchmen to pack and deal with.

He continued to rush to the next place with the soldiers who had already fished some of the oil and water.

The county that broke the house, and the Zhizhou who destroyed the door. The governor wants to rectify the rule of officials, control power, and subdue the whole state, what can be done with a mere head of a hole?

He Sun Li is the sharp blade of the king's master, who is powerful and blessed on weekdays, and constantly excludes those officials who claim to be locals, will tremble under Sun Lishang's long knife dripping blood.

At the same time, in the pavilion on the side of the official road outside Dengzhou City.

Tie called Zile and drove the donkey cart to deliver the scarred Xie Zhen Jie Bao all the way from the prison to here.

As soon as the donkey cart stopped, Sister-in-law Gu, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't wait to grab the railing of the carriage, looking at the two younger brothers lying in the straw, sadness came from it, and tears welled up.

"Wang Zheng! Mrs. Mao! the bag! The old lady vows not to break with them! ”

Sister-in-law Gu stroked Xie Zhen's bloodstained back, looked at Xie Bao's pale cheeks that had lost too much blood, gritted her teeth, and trembled uncontrollably.

Sun Xin hugged his wife distressedly, and said fiercely: "If you don't take revenge, you swear not to be a man!" After the gambling curse was finished, Sun Xin turned his head to look at Zou Run who was standing in the pavilion, sad and indignant.

"I implore the owner of the village to borrow dozens of little minions with me, and I am willing to personally lead people to kill Mrs. Mao! The money and food obtained are not taken, and all of them are dedicated to the cottage, and they are also used as a gift to meet! ”

It turned out that after parting ways with Sun Li, Zou Yuan and Deng Fei rushed back to the cottage and sat in the rear, while Zou Run and Yang Lin stayed and waited for the follow-up results. Sun Xin and his wife immediately said that they wanted to devote themselves to Dengyun Mountain, but because they were worried about the safety of Xie Zhen and Jiebao, they had not officially returned to the cottage to accept the visit of the minions, and they had been stranded in the Shili Hotel.

"Where is my brother, if you enter Dengyun Village, you are a family, and the grudge of the brother Xie Zhen is the grudge of the cottage, and it is also the grudge of my Zou Run, how can there be any reason to let my brother take revenge alone? If you borrow such words as soldiers, you don't have to mention them again. ”

Zou Run walked down the pavilion, comforting Sun Xin and his wife, and said to Yang Lin behind him:

"Brother Yang Lin is tired of going back to the mountain, one is to escort Xie Zhen Jiebao up the mountain to recuperate, remember, to use the best medicine. The second is to pass on my order, 100 minions of the infantry army, 20 minions of the cavalry, go down the mountain and stand by, I will personally take people to Mao Taigong's place to ask for revenge! ”

Yang Lin hurriedly clenched his fists, he knew that the matter was urgent, so he immediately ordered two entourages and wanted to turn over and get on the horse.

And when he heard the words "Mao Taigong" and the word revenge, Xie Zhen and Jie Bao, I don't know where the strength came from, I actually struggled to sit up from the carriage, with my body of erosive flesh and blood, insisted on paying homage to Zou Run, gritted my teeth and said:

"This time, the owner of Zou Zhai tried his best to rescue, and the great kindness was unrequited, Xie Zhen (Xie Bao) was willing to worship under the command of the owner of Zou Zhai, and wait for the brother of the village owner to send! It's just that when I go to Mrs. Mao's place this time, I have to bring my two brothers! My brother will cut off the old thief's head with his own hands, so as to quench the hatred in our hearts! ”

Originally, among the leaders in Dengyun Mountain, Zou Run was the youngest, only twenty-four years old, so even though he was the owner of the village, he insisted on commensurate Yang Lin, Deng Fei and others with his brother, and Xie Zhen and Xie Bao were just in their early twenties, and from now on, Zou Run would finally be called a brother.

Looking at Xie Zhen and Xie Bao's gritted teeth, Zou Run couldn't help but sigh, this is fate, he thought that if he didn't take the initiative to recruit these two young and simple mountain hunters, these two would not have embarked on the original trajectory.

But fate is so mysterious, everywhere like an antelope hanging horns, no trace can be found, although every effort to avoid, but it is still because of the tiger, which triggered a great change in this pair of honest brothers.

The two young hunters, who originally only knew how to hunt, suddenly became bloodthirsty after this experience, and they were about to kill people and take human heads when they opened and closed their mouths.
