Wen'an County is located in the central part of Bazhou, south of Bazhou City and Yantou Village, and north of Dacheng County. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

More than 20 years ago, when the beggar gang was prosperous, the Bazhou rudder was a master, often helping the border army to resist the enemy, and later the beggar gang infighting, cannibalism, coupled with the fact that the imperial court suppressed the rivers and lakes, and since then it has declined rapidly.

Today, the former prestige has long been lost, and it is no longer the original grandeur.

Zhao Bufan and Detective Zhu set off from Yantou Village, quickly whipped their horses, and came to Liuhe Town in half a day, they fostered their war horses to the official post station, pretended to be ordinary people, and entered Liuhe Town on foot. At this time, it was almost evening, and they found a restaurant in the west of the town, ready to fill their stomachs before making plans.

"Shop, come two catties of braised beef, two braised fish, and a plate of soft-shelled turtle soup!" As soon as he entered the store and sat down, Zhao Bufan, who was hungry, panicked and ordered food.

Detective Zhu followed up and said, "Stir-fry two more green vegetables and two bowls of rice plates!"

The shopkeeper shouted, happily shook the rag, and ran to the back kitchen.

Zhao Bufan looked back at Detective Zhu and said with a slight smile: "I didn't expect Detective Zhu to be able to eat more than me, and I have to add vegetables and rice!"

Detective Zhu glanced at him. "I don't like to eat meat, you can eat it yourself!"

"You are from a Buddhist family, why didn't you say it earlier, how can I eat so much alone?" Zhao Bufan looked at Detective Zhu in amazement.

"Only people from Buddhism must be vegetarians?" Detective Zhu asked rhetorically.

Zhao Bufan pursed his lips and smiled: "This restaurant doesn't have a chance every day, I have tea and light rice at home on weekdays, and I don't eat better when I come out, so how can I be worthy of myself?"

"Aren't you very rich, since you have 120,000 yuan to buy land, why are you still a light tea and a light meal?" Detective Zhu looked at him suspiciously, very doubtful of authenticity.

Zhao Bufan's eyes glared: "What money do I have? The army's income is very high, but I also help the people a lot on weekdays, and I am so poor that I am so poor, I am now in addition to resisting the Liao State, and my mind is full of thinking about making money, it is best to use jade to make a bed, gold to make a floor, silver to decorate, eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, drink to the delicacies of the elixir and jade dew, hug left and right, and spoil whoever I want, this is my goal. ā€

Detective Zhu heard a chill.

"You're not a good guy either!"

"I never said that I was a good person, but I emphasized that I should be a principled person, are you really that upright?"

Detective Zhu glared at him and said, "I at least have a single-minded attitude towards the affairs between men and women!"

Zhao Bufan waved his hand: "Okay, your statement is taken for granted in the peaceful and prosperous era, but now that the war has been going on for many years, a large number of men have died, and bandits, labor, and forced labor have also killed many men, if you follow your idea, then the vast majority of women in the Great Song Dynasty will not be able to get married, with the current environment, what do you let them eat? What do you wear? How do you live? If women live alone, don't talk about survival, just talk about regular labor, you let them move thousands of pounds of boulders to try? How many can they lift? At that time, it was just a whip whip, and it was normal to be beaten to death if the task was not completed, don't you think it was worse?"

"But can't this situation change?" Detective Zhu asked rhetorically.

"Of course, you can, in a peaceful and prosperous world, as long as commerce and trade are prosperous, many things no longer need manpower to do, and women can survive independently, but unfortunately it is a matter of hundreds of years to complete. In our current world, if a woman wants to be like you say, she must have money or power, and at that time, the handsome man was as she chose, and she wanted a few or few. Isn't Wu Zetian, the female emperor of the previous dynasty?" Zhao Bufan said nonchalantly.

Detective Zhu found that he couldn't understand Zhao Bufan more and more, and asked strangely: "Don't you think that kind of woman is bad?"

"This has nothing to do with whether it is good or not, although I don't like it, but I don't have anything to do with her relationship between men and women, it's nothing wrong to be friends, but this doesn't mean that people are bad women, if she is diligent and hardworking, serves the country and loves the people, does not deceive people, does not harm people, that is a good person, if it is a big traitor, it is a wicked person!"

Detective Zhu was silent and said with a wry smile: "You are very special, but I don't approve of it, three obedience and four virtues are a woman's duty!"

Zhao Bufan smiled faintly, looked at her deeply, and said meaningfully: "Actually, you are more special, Detective Zhu, oh, no, I still call you Miss Zhu better, right?"

"Huh!"

Detective Zhu's expression changed drastically, and he looked at him in shock. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Miss Zhu, there's really no point in pretending!" Zhao Bufan smiled slightly, but his eyes became more and more aggressive. "What is your identity, and what is the purpose of bringing me here? If you don't make it clear today, I think you understand the consequences!"

Detective Zhu sighed helplessly and said leisurely, "How did you find out?"

Zhao Bufan smiled calmly.

"Before today, I didn't expect you to be a woman, I just thought your behavior was very strange, but on the way here, I proposed to go to the river and fill the water bag, and when you squatted down to fill the water, I noticed that your fingers were slender and slender, and the size of your wrists was completely disproportionate to your body, and then I looked at your shoes, and sure enough, they were very small. At that time, I wondered, why do you want to disguise your body, especially your upper body, to be stronger?

"What do you mean?" Detective Zhu opened his eyes in confusion.

"Well, it's just to eat your tofu secretly!" Zhao Bufan didn't shy away from anything, and said bluntly: "At that time, I had intentionally touched you, and you jumped away in a panic, but you didn't know that I meant it, and I had already touched your breasts and buttocks at that moment, and the result surprised me a lot, because your breasts are very big, so you should be trying to hide your breasts, so you have to make your body bigger, but the result is nondescript and uncoordinated." ā€

"You are shameless!" Detective Zhu gritted his teeth and stared at Zhao Bufan, his eyes really wanted to kill.

Zhao Bufan shrugged.

"I'm sorry for this, I just wanted to determine the shape of your body, how did I think you are a woman, and then I followed you here, and I also intended to talk to you, trying to lead the topic to the matter of men and women, and you are really cooperative, very energetic about this matter, and finally let me settle down. You remember, when men talk about power, money, and women, their eyes and demeanor are different, you are a woman, which is very difficult for you to learn, and besides, you are still a very feminine woman. ā€

The two talked in a whisper, and no one else could hear it, just at this time, the shopkeeper came to serve the food with a tray, Zhao Bufan said lightly: "Eat first, and then follow me to the outside of the town, now for me, figuring out your identity is far more important than investigating anything." ā€

Detective Zhu didn't speak again, and buried his head in eating angrily.

Zhao Bufan didn't eat anything, just quietly monitored Detective Zhu's every move, at such a time, he also had to be careful, and he had to be careful if he could.

Soon, Detective Zhu ate quietly, didn't say anything, didn't resist, and followed Zhao Bufan to the forest outside the town.

"Okay, the meal is also for you to eat, you better explain the situation honestly, otherwise it will be your last supper just now. Zhao Bufan stared at Detective Zhu indifferently, and he didn't care if the other party was a man or a woman.

Detective Zhu looked at him for a long time, his hands quickly put on his neck, and as she fiddled for a while, he quickly tore off the dough and took it off from the root of his neck, including the false Adam's apple, as if he had taken off a thin human skin hood.

A delicate and beautiful face appeared in front of him, with thin willow eyebrows, long and curled eyelashes, eyes full of charm, ruddy lips, a straight nose, and snow-white skin, she is really a rare beauty in the world.

Zhao Bufan was a little amazed by the woman's beauty, but his expression was still indifferent.

"Miss Zhu, your disguise technique is really the pinnacle!"

"But I still haven't hidden your eyes!" Detective Zhu spoke again, but the voice made at this time was still a little manly, soft and pleasant, as beautiful as the sound of the piano.

Zhao Bufan shook his head regretfully: "You are so beautiful, why do you want to do things for Tong Guan?"

Miss Zhu chuckled and shook her head: "You misunderstood, I didn't do anything for Tong Guan, I am really the detective of the Imperial City Division, but because I am young and my appearance is too conspicuous, I have to change my appearance, but I am a genuine Zhu family, and there are no traitors in our family!"

"Zhu family, which Zhu family, what is your name?" Zhao Bufan frowned and asked.

"My father, Zhu Bocai, was appointed as the envoy of the Wukang Army, and the actual dispatch was to mention the Imperial City Division!"

Miss Zhu's words were very light, but Zhao Bufan was taken aback.

"Your father is Zhu Bocai?"

That is one of the people in charge of the Imperial City Division, second only to the Imperial City Division, and the official rank may not be high, but it is really not easy to provoke.

"Well, Zhu Bocai is the father, what's the problem?" Miss Zhu was very proud, obviously in her heart, the image of her father was very great.

"Then what's your name?" Zhao Bufan's heart suddenly accelerated, he was very concerned about this issue.

"My name is Zhu Lian, if you don't believe me, I can accompany you to Bazhou City to see Li Miao first, and then come to investigate the case after confirming my identity, he knows me as I am!"

"Shhhh

Zhu Lian looked at him very strangely, and said suspiciously: "You were so calm just now, why did you suddenly change your face? You also know me?"

Zhao Bufan was in no mood to reply at all, and stared at Zhu Lian with complicated eyes.

In his vague memory, he has forgotten many things, but there is a woman who he has never forgotten, this woman is Zhu Lian, she is the future wife of the current prince Zhao Huan, and the future queen of the Great Song Dynasty, but these are not the reasons why Zhao Bufan remembers her.

What's more, in the Jingkang Change, this woman was captured by the Jin soldiers, and everyone was forced to give in at that time, but she refused to bow her head, and saw that the emperor was forced to put on the clothes of a slave, and she was about to commit suicide directly, thinking that it was a shame, but the Jin soldiers forcibly rescued her.

Soon, Jin Bing teased her because of her beautiful appearance, although she was the person that the Dajin Emperor wanted, he didn't dare to really touch her, but she still couldn't bear this humiliation, and tried every possible way to find an opportunity to commit suicide again, but unfortunately she was still forcibly saved by Jin Bing.

The third time, the people of Jin asked the queen and imperial concubine of the Great Song Dynasty to enter the palace to sleep, and Queen Zhu finally found the last chance and resolutely committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, refusing to be humiliated.

Compared with all the people who completely surrendered at that time, she was a real martyr, no matter how the people of the Jin country persuaded her, what they used to impress her, she was determined to beg for death! Even Jin Shizong was shocked by her and praised her for "being clean and pure, and she must be chaste." The crowd is drunk and sober, unyielding. ā€

In the end, she was ordered by Jin Shizong to be buried thickly, and she was posthumously named the "Jingkang County Chaste Lady" of the Jin State, at that time, there were countless queen mothers, princesses, and imperial concubines who were captured by the Jin State, and there were countless ordinary beauties, but only she was praised and posthumously sealed by Jin Shizong, and she was drunk and sober, which shows that Jin Shizong looks down on all the Song people who have yielded, but he is impressed by Queen Zhu and will never forget!

After the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Song people also enshrined her and posthumously named Empress Renhuai!

Such a person, how could Zhao Bufan not remember, he respected this woman from the bottom of his heart, but now that this girl was standing beside him, his mood was quite complicated......
