Shangguan Yun and Nangong Po came to the outside of Zhengzhou one after another, and now it is the weather of Layue, although it has not snowed, the north wind blows and feels more cold and biting. On this road, there were many men, women, and children, and there were more than a thousand people one after another, who supported each other, and walked from the city to the countryside with heavy packages on their hands and shoulders.

Look at the clothes of these people, not like the Zhuang family, although they are not panicked, but there is a little helplessness on their faces, there are no gold soldiers in this area, it seems that they are not fleeing people, in this cold weather, I don't know why they are rushing with their families.

Shangguan Yun stepped forward, stopped an old man and a young man, and looked like the grandfather and grandson, and asked: "Uncle, now that the wind and snow are deep, the road is very cold, and there is a military disaster in Bianliang, where are you going?"

The old man looked at Shangguan Yun for a while, and saw that he didn't look like a bad guy, so he said slowly: "Little brother is from Bianliang?"

Shangguan Yun nodded and said, "Exactly, what's wrong?"

The old man said: "We all fled to the Bianliang area. ”

Shangguan Yun was very surprised, even Nangong Po's face showed surprise, Shangguan Yun said: "Bianliang has been broken by the Jin people, if you don't flee to other places, why do you still go to Bianliang instead?"

The old man sighed bitterly: "Little brother, you don't know, since you know that Bianliang was besieged, those bandits and bandits have gathered in the mountains and forests, and each of them occupies the mountain as the king. If we don't run away, we are afraid that our lives will be lost. ”

Shangguan Yun said: "The government doesn't care?"

The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's okay if you don't mention the official mansion, it's because of the official mansion that we fled to Bianliang." ”

Shangguan Yunqi said: "What do you mean by this?"

The old man said: "I have relatives from Luoyang, where there are many bandits, and the local government pays taxes from house to house in the name of quelling the chaos, and wantonly collects money. Although my relatives were not robbed by bandits and bandits, more than a dozen houses and more than 1,000 yuan of money hidden in their homes were taken away by the government, and they had no food or clothing, so they came to Zhengzhou to join us, otherwise where would we know what the government is doing. ”

Shangguan Yun was worried when he heard this, it was okay to say that the Jin people invaded the south and the bandits and bandits did evil, and it was just a matter of sending troops to attack the imperial court. I don't want the government to do such a bad act, not to mention not to call on the brave and strong to resist gold and destroy the bandits, and to take advantage of the national crisis to make money. When Yue Fei, Zong Ze, Zhang Shuye and other generals were fighting with the Jin army, these people were chaotic and undisciplined, not only could not help at all, but made the world complain. Shangguan Yun was angry and said, "Is Zhengzhou Zhizhou like this?"

The old man said: "They haven't been like this yet, and they won't know in a few days." ”

Shangguan Yun said secretly: "It seems that we need to go into the city to remind these people in the official mansion that if they dare to do evil, they will definitely be made good-looking." When he saw that the old man was going to go again, he said, "Old man, Bianliang has been lost, and there is a war there, so you had better not go there." ”

The old man said as he walked: "There are Jin soldiers in Bianliang City, there are no bandits to do evil, the government will not dare to mess around, if you don't flee to Bianliang, where can you go?"

Shangguan Yun was stunned in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, whether the world is prosperous or dead, it must be ordinary people who suffer. Now the Great Song Dynasty government is in a miasma, Sun Fu, Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and other flattering ministers hold heavy power, and the officials in Luoyang are doing evil, and even the children of the royal family are also wrestling, and when there are internal and external troubles, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will die.

On the other hand, the Jin people, Wanyan Sheng and Wanyan Zongwang can be called rare virtuous and loyal ministers, they work together, where is the Song family comparable. Now Wanyan Zongwang aims to win people's hearts, and it is not as wanton killing as it was back then, and for the people, whoever becomes the emperor is the same. If it is under the rule of a wise king, it will not necessarily be worse than now, and the Jin people invaded the south, whether it was a disaster or a blessing for the people, and he couldn't tell the difference. Shangguan Yun entered Zhengzhou and planned to visit the Zhengzhou government at night to remind and remind the local government to prevent them from taking advantage of the chaos to do evil.

It was night, Shangguan Yun took advantage of the Zhengzhou Mansion to see that the guards were lax, and quietly touched in, Nangong Po followed closely, but watched coldly. Although it was not the first time that Shangguan Yun had done this act of rooster and dog theft, this time he was a little uneasy, he came to the back garden of the mansion, first took a closer look in the shadows under the corridor, identified the largest room in the east wing, drew his sword and pried the door and got in. Through the moonlight through the window, I saw a chubby man in his fifties lying on the bed, and a young woman inside, but he couldn't see clearly.

Shangguan Yun came to the bed and coughed lightly, the two people on the bed had not woken up, the man was still snoring gently, Shangguan Yun stepped forward again and patted the man gently.

The man suddenly realized, sat up suddenly, wiped his forehead while panting, and said to himself: "Alas, I scared the official to death, and I thought it had fallen into the hands of the bandits, but it turned out to be a nightmare." Shangguan Yun coughed lightly again, and the man realized that there was someone in the room, and he retreated into the bed in a panic, shouting at the same time: "Someone——, someone—"

The woman on the inside of the bed was also awakened at this time, and she was screaming loudly on the side.

Shangguan Yun put his sword against the man's neck, lowered his voice and said, "If you dare to shout again, I will cut your throat immediately." The man did not dare to speak again, and reached out again to cover the woman's mouth. Seeing that they were no longer silent, Shangguan Yun asked again, "Are you the governor of Zhengzhou?"

The man nodded hurriedly, and remembered that the other party couldn't see it really in the dark, so he dared to say in a trembling voice: "The good man spares his life, this official, oh, no, the next official is the governor of Zhengzhou." ”

Shangguan Yun couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard him call himself a subordinate official in front of him, but at this time, the matter was important, and he finally held back. Shangguan Yun pretended to be fierce and said, "What's your name?"

The man said: "Xiaguan's surname is Dong Mingxing, the word is also from the beginning, Daguan is a three-year jinshi, Hongzhou Qujiang people's family, three brothers in the family, the second official in the ranks, and he has been the governor of Zhengzhou for just three years......."

If Dong Xing is allowed to continue, he still doesn't know where it will go, Shangguan Yun was impatient to listen to his ramblings, and shouted softly: "Shut up." ”

Dong Xing was frightened, and said, "Yes, yes, the lower official is closed...... Shut up. ”

The soap in the government heard the movement, and at this time he had already come to the garden, and there were more than a dozen people outside, and the leader said loudly: "My lord, my lord, what's wrong?"

Shangguan Yun put away his sword and said fiercely: "Send them away, you must not talk nonsense, otherwise you will be splashed with blood on the spot." ”

Dong Xing said respectfully: "Yes, yes." He cleared his throat and said loudly: "The official has a nightmare, nothing has happened, go back, you are not allowed to enter the back garden without the command of the official." Outside the room, a dozen or so people stopped talking when they heard the words, but they went out when they heard the footsteps.
