Chapter 991

While listening to Xu Chengzong's account of the past, Li Qiufeng thought about the relationship between what he said and the current crisis. At this time, listening to Xu Chengzong's sigh, his heart moved, and he suddenly thought of the entanglement between the five families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua in Fengmen Village and the Xu family, and he thought about it in his heart.

But he heard Xu Chengzong continue: "Fei Jun saved Mrs. Hua Rui, if it is discovered by the Song army, it will be a big thing." When the three old men asked him about his origin, he only said that he was a merchant selling Shu brocade. Because of the war between the Song and Shu countries, the Shu people in the Great Song Dynasty were investigated very strictly, and the shops that originally traded with them were closed. In desperation, they wanted to turn back to Shu, but the war between the two countries stopped, the Shu Road was not too peaceful, and several passes that must be passed were also blocked by the Song army, and they could not turn back to Shu for a while. After discussing it, everyone had to go to the Han Kingdom in the north to try their luck first.

After hearing this, the three old men shook their heads again and again, and said to Fei Jun, before the Great Song Dynasty attacked Shu, in order to prevent the Han State from taking the opportunity to sneak attack, heavy troops were deployed in the north of the border with the Han State, and the inspection was extremely strict. Fei Jun and others took Shu brocade property, even if they were not robbed by the green forest ringing horse, it was extremely dangerous to encounter officers and soldiers, maybe they would be falsely accused of being spies of Shu by officers and soldiers, not to mention robbing the property, and even their lives could not be saved.

After listening to the words of the three old men, Fei Jun hesitated a little in his heart. He and more than a dozen senior brothers are not weak in martial arts, so they are naturally not afraid of robbers and small groups of Song troops. But the difficulty is to protect Madame Blossom. Once there is a mistake, it is really a hundred deaths.

An old man saw Fei Jun's hesitant expression, so he said to him, at present, Shu has been destroyed by the Great Song Dynasty, but the war has stopped at the beginning, and the control of Shu must be extremely strict. But at most, in a month or two, when the situation stabilizes, you can come and go freely to Shudi. Instead of venturing north, it is better to find a safe place to settle down temporarily, and after the affairs of Shu have subsided, it is not too late to return to Shu.

Fei Jun listened to the old man's reasonableness, so he thanked the old man. When he was about to turn to leave, the old man said that they were also Shu people. Because Huangchao invaded Chang'an, the world was safe. Shu was not spared, and the soldiers continued to fight. The old man's father and others took the whole family and escaped from Shu with the other four families, all the way to Henan. I stumbled upon a deserted village in the mountains, like a paradise, so that I could settle down. If Fei Jun and the others have nowhere to live, they can temporarily go to that village to avoid trouble.

After Fei Jun heard this, although he was still a little hesitant in his heart, he thought about it, if he wanted to send Madame Hua Rui out of the Song Realm, it would naturally not be easy. It's better to find a place to live for the time being, settle Madame Blossom, and then go and rescue your sister. The words and deeds of these three old men in front of him are not like wicked people, but they are people who can be trusted.

Thinking of this, Fei Jun agreed. Then he asked Madame Hua Rui and others to pick up the lady who had stayed where they were, and went with the three old men to the village in the mountains. ”

When Xu Chengzong said this, he glanced at Li Qiufeng and said, "Lord Li, do you probably know where that village is?"

Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "Naturally, it is Fengmen Village in the west of Xiuwu County. ”

Xu Chengzong nodded and said, "Not bad." Fei Jun and the others followed the three old men to Fengmen Village. According to the three old men, after their ancestors brought people to Fengmen Village, they also returned to Shudi. At that time, Shu was in turmoil, and the heroes everywhere led troops to attack. Among them, Wang Jian's father and son are the most powerful, and finally Wang Jian called the emperor in Shu, the country name is Shu, and later generations in order to distinguish the Shu country established by Wang Jian from the Shu country established by Meng Zhixiang later, it is called the former Shu.

Although the ancestors of the five families who fled to Fengmen Village have settled their families in Henan, they still miss their hometown and always want to return to Shu one day. It was because of them that they took refuge in Wang Jian's father and son and became officials in Shu. Who would have thought that after Wang Jian's death, his son Wang Yan succeeded to the throne, extravagantly and lasciviously, built palaces, toured the counties, spent a lot of financial resources, and the people complained. And the queen mother and concubine of the harem openly betrayed their official beards, the ministers bribed the commonplace, and the court of Shu was being demolished and dirty.

"Wang Yan was so ridiculous in Shu, the news reached the Central Plains, and Li Cunmiao, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, took the opportunity to send troops to attack Shu. Wang Yan sent troops to resist, but was defeated by the Tang army, and was finally forced to surrender, and the former Shu was destroyed. The ancestors of the five families in Fengmen Village were unwilling to fail, and secretly supported Wang Yan's descendants and wanted to rebuild the Shu Kingdom. Later, Meng Zhixiang became the envoy of Shudi, and found that the descendants of the Wang family were still secretly trying to restore, so he sent people to chase and kill everywhere. Later Meng Zhixiang and Meng Chang successively became the emperors of Hou Shu, and still did not forget to completely eliminate these Wang orphans. In the end, the last young master of the Wang family was killed in Qianwei, and the Wang family was completely wiped out.

Although Meng Chang eradicated the Wang family, he still refused to let go of those who were loyal to the Wang family. He bribed the Shushan faction and asked them to send masters to hunt down and kill the courtiers loyal to the five clans. Most of the ancestors of the five families in Fengmen Village had been killed by that time, and the rest had escaped. And the Shushan faction has not let these people go, and is still searching for their traces everywhere. These three old men are the patriarchs of the Zhao, Lu, and Nie families of the five families, because they went to Luoyang City to do business, but they were discovered by the people of the Shushan faction on the way, and they were besieged by twenty or thirty masters. If it weren't for Fei Jun who happened to pass by, and the Shushan faction wanted to capture the three of them and ask where the five families were hiding, I was afraid that the three would have died in the hands of the Shushan faction.

Fei Jun listened to the three old men talk in detail, and then he knew that the three of them had extraordinary backgrounds, and he sighed in his heart. The three old men brought Fei Jun and his party back to Fengmen Village. Fei Jun didn't expect that in the mountains, there would be such a natural danger. Even if there are thousands of troops and horses, it is not easy to attack the village. Fei Jun was glad in his heart, and after settling Mrs. Hua Rui and his brothers, he was going down the mountain to save Fei Gong'e.

Because the matter was confidential, he did not explain his intention to go down the mountain to the head of the five families in Fengmen Village. It is only said that there are still some things in Luoyang, which must be retrieved as soon as possible. Before Fei Jun went down the mountain, he repeatedly told the brothers who stayed in Fengmen Village to be careful and not to be careless. Even if there is anything, wait until he returns.

After Fei Jun went down the mountain, he went straight to Bianjing. Along the way, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, bought a horse on the way, and arrived in Bianjing in less than four days. As soon as he entered the city, he heard that something big had happened in the capital. Meng Chang, the last emperor of the Shu Kingdom, died violently last night. When Fei Jun heard the news, he was stunned and hurriedly asked someone what was going on.

It turned out that after Meng Chang was escorted to Bianjing, Zhao Kuangyin did not embarrass him, and when he invited Meng Chang to the banquet, he never mentioned the crusade against Shu. The day after Meng Chang arrived in Bianjing, Zhao Kuangyin issued a decree to make him the Taishi of the school and the Zhongshu Order, and gave him the title of Duke of Qin. Who knew that seven days later, that is, yesterday night, Meng Chang suddenly had a serious illness, unbearable abdominal pain, and after tossing for more than an hour, he died. The matter spread early in the morning, and some people said that Emperor Song gave a banquet yesterday and poisoned the wine, killing Meng Chang. Some people also say that Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, sent someone to give Meng Chang a pot of wine, which contained an extremely powerful poison called 'Qianjiyin'. Those who are poisoned by this poison will be burned inside, and the pain will be incomparable. Moreover, the whole body of the poisoned person is twisted, especially if the loom is hanging upside down, which is called 'a thousand machine leads'. After Meng Chang drank the wine, he called out all night, and only swallowed his breath until dawn.

When Fei Jun heard this, his heart panicked. Whether Meng Chang is dead or alive naturally has nothing to do with him. But the younger sister pretended to be Mrs. Hua Rui and followed Meng Chang's side. If Meng Chang is poisoned, his sister will not be spared. Fei Jun asked the people about the whereabouts of the concubines in Meng Chang's palace, and some people said that those concubines saw Meng Chang dead, worried that they would be humiliated, and those who hanged themselves hanged themselves, those who took poison, and some jumped into the pond to drown. Listening to the tolerance in the yamen, overnight, more than 30 people died in Meng Chang's Qin State Mansion.

Fei Jun was so anxious that he stole into the Qin State Mansion that night. But I saw that there were indeed more than 30 corpses in the courtyard, and each corpse was only covered with a white cloth. Fei Jun endured his grief and examined the corpses one by one. Sure enough, he found his sister-in-law Fei Gong'e in it. I saw that her face was like white paper, her eyes were not closed, her tongue was sticking out, and there was a deep strangulation mark on her neck. I think it was hanging. When Fei Jun saw this tragic situation, his heart hurt to the extreme. He first stole Fei Gong'e's body and found a secret place outside the city to bury it. On the second day, I slept a lot, and it was almost evening before I was full of food and drink, and then I took advantage of the night to go straight to the palace to kill Zhao Kuangyin and avenge Fei Gong'e!"
