Chapter 7 The history of the state assassination
The guest house and the state have been ten frosts, and the heart remembers Xianyang day and night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
For no reason, he crossed the mulberry and dry water, but he looked at the state as his hometown.
For a long time, Taiyuan in Bingzhou is the center of the northern region, rich in materials and extremely prosperous, but in recent years, the drought in the north, many refugees have poured into Taiyuan City, begging for a living, but the whole city has a sense of depression.
Sima Wuregret and his entourage arrived at the gate of the city, Sima Wuregret was about to dismount to accept the inspection at the pass, Li Fengchen signaled Sima Wuregret not to dismount first.
Immediately a garrison came and questioned them.
"My father is an old friend of your Lord Assassin, and this time I have an urgent matter to come to meet Lord Assassin Shi, this is Lord Wang's handwritten letter. ”
Li Fengchen took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the soldier, the soldier unfolded the letter, looked left and right for a long time, and then handed the letter back to Feng Chen, and immediately bowed his head and led Li Fengchen's horse into the door, and also signaled to let other people who entered the city make a way.
It was the first time for Sima Wuregret to enjoy such special treatment, and he was a little unaccustomed to it, so he just followed behind the two and carefully drove the horse forward. You know, ordinary people can't ride horses in the city, so they have to get off their horses and lead them. At this time, not only can he ride a horse to run in the city, but also lead the horse into the city as a soldier, as if he is a high-ranking official, which is somewhat inconsistent with the image of Sima Wuregret wearing an animal skin robe.
The three of them made a detour from the small road on the edge of the city, and after a burst of fast horses, they rushed to the Assassin Yamen. The two guards guarding the door were very discerning, and when they saw that it was Li Fengchen who took the lead, they immediately came over to lead the horse, Li Fengchen was also very neat, and went straight to the main hall after getting off the horse. Yang Fei and Sima Wuregret were a little overwhelmed, so they had to follow behind.
Bypassing the main hall and arriving at the back office, I didn't see anyone, it seems that the history of the state assassin is not in the yamen at this time, which is a strange thing.
"Feng Sima, where is Lord Assassin Shi at this time?"
A chubby man in his fifties walked in front of him, dressed in brocade clothes and wearing a black gauze head, looking very rich. At this time, he heard Li Fengchen's words, and was taking his eyes off the account book in hand.
"It turned out to be Li Zhuangshi, it's really unfortunate, now Lord Wang is not assassinating Shi Yamen. ”
"What about the others?"
Feng Sima looked up and thought about it again.
"It's time now, and Lord Thorn Shi should send porridge to the victims in Beicheng. ”
"Good!"
Feng Chen didn't say much, and immediately turned around and ran out of the yamen. Yang Fei and Sima Wu were at a loss for what to do, so they had to follow behind for the time being.
"Early this morning, I received a message from my father that Uncle Wang was in trouble and asked me to stay in Taiyuan for a few more days. ”
"Good. ”
Although Yang Fei didn't know what the difficulty was, and he had never seen this assassin master, he had traveled a lot of rivers and lakes, and he had heard a little about some things in officialdom. If he is really a good local official who is diligent in government and loves the people, it is a moral thing to stay for a few days to help.
Out of the yamen, a guard led three people through the city, and in a short time they reached the north of the city.
"There are so many victims?"
What Yang Fei didn't expect was that there were so many victims in the entire north of the city, and even a few of them couldn't squeeze in.
"This year's catastrophe is great, there has been a drought in the north for two months, and then there is a locust plague after the beginning of spring, and many local people have no harvest. ”
The leading guard explained to Yang Fei.
"Originally, according to the law, taxes were levied according to the harvest of the year, but when many county officials saw that there was no harvest, they changed it to a poll tax, forcing the peasants in the north to run away from home. Fortunately, Lord Wang was kind-hearted and opened an official warehouse to make porridge, but this was also a hungry meal, and then the surrounding victims heard that there was a porridge pie in Taiyuan, and it became like this. ”
Although he often runs the rivers and lakes, but after all, there are still many gaps between the rivers and lakes and this real society, many sects in the martial arts are official eunuchs, or famous families, although the rivers and lakes are constantly killing, but there is no need to worry about three meals a day. Even if they were poor, they became robbers in the green forest, and most of them were recruited by the imperial court in the end.
Sima Wuregret was frightened by the previous scene, and many scrawny people competed just to grab a bowl of porridge with clear soup and little water to drink.
"Uncle!"
The three of them finally squeezed through the crowd and saw that there were two people in front of them supervising the porridge.
The tall and slightly thin one on the right hand side was wearing a navy blue official uniform, wearing an official hat, and his temples were slightly white.
"Feng Chen, why have you already arrived? Your father's letter to me said that you would not arrive in Taiyuan until two days later. ”
"My father said that Uncle Wang was in trouble and asked me to come to Taiyuan quickly, so I and my brothers on the road rushed over overnight, for fear that something would happen to you. ”
"Huh...... I have Zhao Beijia here, as well as the guards and officers and soldiers in Taiyuan, nothing big can happen, your father is too worried. ”
At this moment, the other person on the side raised his hand in motion, and immediately put his right hand back on the scabbard at his waist, as if he was on guard at all times, in case anything unexpected happened.
"Uncle Wang, it's too chaotic here, you and we go back to the mansion first, let's understand the ins and outs of this matter first, how you were targeted by the Bloody Handmen. ”
"Bloody Hand Gate?!"
After a while, Yang Fei suddenly heard a message that touched his nerves. Let's not talk about the discussion first, Yang Fei immediately signaled Li Fengchen to quickly pull Wang Tingshi back to the yamen, Sima Wuregret was also very curious, what was the origin of this bloody hand gate, which could make Yang Fei look so flustered.
The guards and Zhao Bei drove the way, and after Li Fengchen's palace, Yang Fei and Sima Wuregret were each on the left and right of Wang Tingshi's protection, full of posture, and the party looked hurried and panicked, and rushed back from the back door of the yamen.
"Feng Sima, prepare a table of wine and food for me at the mansion in the evening to entertain my friends. ”
"Okay. ”
When he entered the yamen, Wang Tingshi didn't forget to explain, while Zhao Beijia went to the front door to explain the matter of the guards' shifts at night. Following Wang Tingshi, the group advanced to the main hall, which can be regarded as a long sigh of relief.
"Uncle Wang, let me introduce you to these two first, this Master Yang Fei Yang is a disciple of Master Longkong, and he has rich experience in the rivers and lakes. As he spoke, Yang Fei also got up and raised his hand to show respect, "This is Sima Wuregret, Qiu Duanshui, who is a rival to the Five Tigers Gate in Jiangnan in Huangsha Town." ”
Sima Wuregret learned Yang Fei's style, and also got up and raised his hand, but it was slightly twisted, looking strange.
"The old man is really happy to meet the two young heroes today, and he will definitely let the old man do his landlord's friendship for a while. ”
"Uncle Wang, you should first tell me how you offended the Bloody Handmen, this is the top priority. ”
Wang Tingshi stayed for a while, a little hesitant.
"Actually, this is something in the officialdom, and you shouldn't be involved, but since your father and I are friends in the world, it's okay. ”
Wang Fu picked up a cup of tea on the table beside him and took a sip.
"Luoyang has a rich family surnamed Qian, the family in the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains all over the rich village, the second child of this family is a loser, the second night of the new year in Taiyuan City in the Songhe Tower drunk, and then with the city Cheng Yuanwai a word of discord, will be beaten to death in public. ”
"The rich man surnamed Qian that Lord Wang said is 30,000 yuan from Wantong Qianzhuang?"
"It's this person. At that time, I arrested Qian Hong, the second child of the Qian family, and he wanted to use money to dredge directly, but I turned him away. Later, there were constant pressure on me from internal officials, including officials from the Ministry of Officials and officials from Dali Temple, who all came to intercede with me for Qian Hong, but I also refused. The laws of the Tang Dynasty can not be changed at will by those rats. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, this Qian Hong's sentence is the Autumn Queen's beheading. ”
"Lord Wang is not afraid of the pressure of officialdom and adheres to the foundation of officials, which makes me admire and admire. ”
"But even so, Qian 30,000 still didn't give up, I heard that he spent a lot of money to buy my Wang's head in the bloody hand gate, but I think my Wang is a state assassin, how can he also be a minister of the humerus of the imperial court, it is expected that this bloody hand gate may not dare to come to the assassination of Shi Yamen to make trouble. ”
Wang Fu of the assassin history said that there are words for him, it is true that the ordinary Jianghu sect does not dare to provoke the officials of the imperial court even if they have great courage, let alone the history of the assassin of a state, and they can directly mobilize 5,000 soldiers and horses to join the army, who dares to easily offend.
"I don't know if Lord Wang knows anything about this bloody hand?"
Yang Fei asked a question, and the people around him fell silent for an instant.
"Master Yang has rich experience in the rivers and lakes, so let's ask Master Yang to talk about it. ”
Sima Wuregret followed Li Fengchen's words and nodded busily on the side.
"According to what my master Master Longkong said, he also heard of the sect of the Blood Hand Gate for the first time five years ago, on the sixth floor of a door, there are a total of six owners under a Blood Hand Gate master, namely the Blood Knife Building, the Blood Sword Building, the Blood Spear Building, the Blood Claw Building, the Blood Needle Building and the Blood Whip Building, and there are eleven Blood Shadow Messengers under each of the owners. Inside the Bloody Hand Gate, as long as you pay the money, whether it is a master of the rivers and lakes, a giant merchant or even the founding minister, you can kill it. It is rumored that as soon as the bloody warrant is issued, the person on this list is already a dead person. ”
There was a dead silence in the room, and several people didn't know what to say to each other.
"This ...... Is this bloody hand really so powerful?"
"Yes, Lord Wang. Each owner of this bloody hand is superb in martial arts, and its blood shadow messenger has come and gone without a trace, and this bloody hand gate is very mysterious, no one knows where their chief rudder is, and no one has ever seen who the owner of the bloody hand gate is. I don't know what his martial arts are!"
"Master Yang, according to what you say, isn't my Uncle Wang ......?"
Wang Fu gasped, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and he had goosebumps all over his body, he didn't expect that he had reached this age, but he encountered such a tribulation.
"It's not easy to say, I think now we are all in this mansion, with your Li Fengchen's double swords, as well as Brother Sima Xian, plus the guards of the Assassin's Mansion, if it is really attacked on the first floor of the Bloody Hand Gate, there is no need to be too afraid. It's just that we can't stay here for the rest of our lives......"
Sima Wuregret was a little hesitant in his heart, he thought to himself that Yang Fei had already regarded him as a first-class master at the same level as Li Fengchen, but in fact, he was just a half-hanger who couldn't even make a move and a half, so naturally he was very weak at this time. It's just that I'm too embarrassed to say it now, and I don't know how to say it.
"Uncle Wang, is this prisoner still in the prison of the government now?"
"Of course, yes. ”
Li Fengchen thought for a while.
"Uncle Wang, let's see if you can be beheaded early, not until the autumn. After all, there are still two or three months to go after autumn, so it is better to do it early. ”
"This ...... According to Tang Dian, this is also not in line with the rules...... However, this matter is not impossible, and each government can also deal with it according to its own conditions and the situation at the time. If this is the case, the old man can also be active, this Dali Temple Qin is the same Jinshi as me, if I repair a letter to him to inform him of the details, he is upright, upright, and will agree. ”
"Okay, if it is an urgent document for 300 miles to go to Chang'an City, it can be arrived in two days, and it will take five days to come and go. It was scheduled to be beheaded in a week, and Brother Yang and I, as well as Brother Sima, would stay for a week in case anything unexpected. ”
"Okay, that's all I have to do now, wait for me to go to the inner room to repair the book. ”
After that, Wang Fu walked into the inner room, Zhao Beijia followed behind him, and Li Fengchen and the other three were still sitting behind.
"Brother Yang?!Let me tell you something......
