The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Shen Yaozu didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and when he walked past Su Jin, he didn't look sideways, with an extremely arrogant demeanor.

"Stop." Su Jin said.

The escorting soldiers stopped and turned Shen Yaozu's body to face Su Jin.

"Master Shen, can you imagine today?" Su Jin smiled.

"Bah! If it wasn't for the traitor, what would you do to me?" Shen Yaozu gritted his teeth.

Su Jin nodded and said: "That's true. If it weren't for Qiu Dabao's help, it would be really difficult to plan. This is God's will. If you do many unrighteous actions, you will be betrayed. You have read the books of sages and sages, so you should understand what I am talking about." mean."

Shen Yaozu bared his teeth and said with a sneer: "Victor and loser, what else can I say, if it falls into your hands, you can kill or cut whatever you want. In the past few years, I have enjoyed enough of the mountains and forests, wine, meat, beauties, gold and silver treasures."

Su Jin smiled and said: "I won't kill you. You didn't kill me at the time on the mountain. I miss you too, so I will treat you with courtesy and escort you to Beijing. As for your Crimes, you will naturally be punished by the court laws, and I will not touch a finger of yours."

Shen Yaozu looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "You hypocrite, what is the difference between this and killing me? It seems that you are affectionate and righteous."

Su Jin said in a cold voice: "What you did should have been hacked into pieces, don't you still feel wronged? Do you know where your biggest mistake is?"

Shen Yaozu said: "The fault is that there was no sword that killed you that day."

Su Jin laughed and said: "It seems that you still don't understand. Your fault is that you provoked me! Do you know? This food is my food. Originally you were your bandit and I did my job. Let's get into the water." I don’t make mistakes, but your mistake is to hit me on the head; anyone who wants to get involved in my Sujin stuff has to discuss it with me, but you are smart enough to think that no one can cure you. From the day you left my grain cart, your fate today is doomed."

Shen Yaozu pursed his lips and remained silent, looking at the sky, he did not answer.

Su Jin shouted: "Take him down, take good care of him, let him eat and drink well, and escort him to Beijing early tomorrow morning together with the communiqué."

The soldiers pushed and shoved Shen Yaozu down, Pan Jiang approached with a smile and said, "Master Special Envoy's words are very powerful."

Su Jin sneered, "You don't believe me?"

Pan Jiang was shocked, recalling the fight with Su Jin when he was in the official warehouse in Yangzhou, he was speechless immediately, which made the adult look like nothing, and he was kind, but this method is indeed unique, because he is single Going up the mountain and breaking down this impenetrable stronghold from the inside with only a three-inch tongue, no one can do this kind of courage and ability.

"Commander Pan, I'm going to work hard on you tonight. Immediately lead people to guard all the important locations in the village. At the same time, the mountain is strictly prohibited from entering and leaving. It's too late at this time, so we can wait until dawn to make any calculations."

Pan Jiang cupped his hands and said, "Follow your lord's order."

Everyone came out of the woods and down the pass. Several fires had been ignited at the pass. The soldiers were busy sorting out the corpses. The road had been cleared. Su Jin felt sorry for her and walked out of the pass on the thin bloody ground. Outside the pass, Li Chong, Zhao Dutou, Fang Dutou and others were all waiting to greet him. When they saw Su Jin, they immediately rushed over.

Su Jin laughed out loud, and was about to speak when he saw people from the west neighing their horses and shouting that the torches should be brightened, as if a large group of people were rushing towards this side.

Su Jin was taken aback. Could it be that the bandits still have another trick?Both Zhao and Fang hurriedly ordered the cavalry to form a formation to meet the enemy, and the hearts of everyone who had just let go of the sack were suspended again.

Not long after, the sentry came to report that Wang Qinian, the transshipment envoy of Huainan Road, led [-] Zhongzheng troops to help; Su Jin laughed loudly after hearing the report: "This is here to pick up a bargain, and he disappeared during the fight. This will be over." , I’m here to eat ready-made ones, the timing is really accurate.”

Li Chongdao: "What should I do?"

Su Jin said: "What should I do? Is it possible to let him take advantage of it? Both Zhao and Fang led their horse troops to intercept them. They said that the Shanben envoy had been blocked and no one was allowed to approach. Thank you, Mr. Wang. Kindness."

Zhao Dutou said: "What if he forced his way in?"

Su Jin gritted his teeth and said: "If he dares to be tough, you will beat me to death, and I will bear all the responsibilities."

Everyone trembled, looking at Su Jin as if looking at a lion protecting the food. It seems that if the master transfer envoy dares to grab food from Su Jin's mouth, Su Jin will not hesitate to order someone to kill him. Help hold back the calf and clean up everything.

Zhao and Fang had seen many domineering officials in Beijing, but none of them dared to challenge the soldiers brought by the transfer envoy like Su Jin. The two of them admired Su Jin so much. How can they be missing in the matter of foxes pretending to be tigers, and the two immediately greeted them as a whole team.

Although Wang Qinian, the pacifier of Huainan West Road, did not agree to Su Jin's request for help, he was always paying attention to the movements of Su Jin and others. As soon as the attack on the mountain started tonight, Wang Qinian got a report from the sentry; at first he thought it was a feint However, as the battle progressed, he discovered that the supernatural food envoy had somehow used some tricks to rebel in the bandit den.

With a keen sense of smell, he keenly senses that there are advantages to take advantage of. Bagongshan bandits have been rampant under his nose for so long, and the imperial court has written several times to reprimand him. The center is just around the corner, how can we miss this opportunity.

So he hastily mobilized 800 soldiers from the main army to send to Bagong Mountain. When he reached Bali on the side of the mountain, he had to report that the two sides were fighting fiercely. Rescue, even he himself is proud of it, this is a matter of no cost and no gain, and no merchant in the world has such a calculation.

However, what greeted him was the uniform queue of guards Ma Jun and his indifferent expression. He knew Zhao Fang very well. He went to Shouzhou City to 'borrow' things several times. Wang Qinian had a headache when he saw these two Qiu Ba. This time, two people blocked the road again, so Wang Qinian had no choice but to order them to stop, and stepped forward to talk to them after getting off the sedan chair.

"Both of you are safe and well?" Wang Qinian himself felt that he had nothing to say. This morning, these two people came to Shouzhou City and almost took away the sweet-scented osmanthus oil from their concubine, but now they say goodbye Such polite words as Wuyang.

"It turned out to be Mr. Wang. It's a pleasure to meet you." Zhao and Fang seemed to be meeting him for the first time, and they were too polite to die.

"Both of you are heads, I have received a report that you are attacking the bandit's stronghold, so I will send troops to support you, and hurry up and take me to help kill the enemy."

"My lord Wang, please go back. Your lord envoy has ordered that the area within five miles of the mountain has been sealed off, so you don't have to bother me about the bandits. Envoy Su has cleared up the bandits and is cleaning up now."

"Oh? So fast? But there may still be a lot of remnants in the mountains. How can I just sit back and watch Su envoy Du Li support me, or take me to help clear up the remnants and help clear the battlefield."

"Is Mr. Wang deaf? I have already said that there is an order from the Special Envoy of the Soviet Union to blockade everything within a radius of five miles below the mountain. If there are idlers who talk about bandits, let them be killed." Zhao Du felt impatient.

"What are you talking about? I am the transfer envoy of Huainan. Is it the idlers you are talking about? I lead troops here with good intentions and good intentions, but you are here to stop me. What's the reason? Besides, Bagong Mountain It's the land under my Huainan Road rule, how can his little food envoy be able to block it if he says it should be blocked, get out of the way quickly, otherwise I won't save face for the two of you." Wang Qinian's face darkened, and he Wouldn't it be a big joke for the dignified transfer envoy to be stopped by two small capitals relying on the name of some shit food envoy?

Zhao Fang and Zhao Fang looked at each other and shouted at the same time: "Since that's the case, then don't blame us. I will accompany Mr. Su, the grain envoy, to Beijing on business, and only listen to his orders. Spoiled my errands, brothers, obey my orders."

The two hundred horsemen pulled out their swords and raised their swords in unison, shouting loudly: "Here!"

"If someone dares to break in, he will be killed!"

"Obey!" The horsemen tightened their reins, and the horses began to crow restlessly, as if charging desperately.

Wang Qinian did not expect the other party to be so bachelor, he would never dare to fight with the horse army, not that he would lose for sure, but he did not dare to attack the imperial imperial guards at all, the two hundred horse soldiers were all members of the Guards Department, they were injured Either one will cause endless troubles, let alone charge and fight.

"You..." Wang Qinian was so angry that he sifted through the chaff.

"What are we doing? We are following orders, so don't your lord Wang hold grudges against us." Fang Du said.

"Okay, okay, okay." Wang Qinian said three good words in a row, pointed at Zhao Fang and the two of them, and said, "How dare you treat me like this, and even try to fight against the Shouzhou Zhongzhengxiang Army, this official wants to arrest you!" Waiting for the behavior to be reported to the court, and then we will see how you explain it."

Zhao Dutou sneered and said: "My lord, please do as you please, but don't forget to write down the cause and effect. My special envoy said that he will go to the court to impeach you, lord Wang, and the prefect of Zhu in Luzhou. Let the bandits rob you." As for the government's food relief, Mr. Wang still think about it, don't really be taken off the black hat by then."

Wang Qinian was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and said angrily, "Very good! With someone's power, he is so arrogant and domineering, completely disregarding superiority and inferiority, official etiquette, good! Let's ride a donkey and watch the show."

After saying that, he turned around and got into the sedan chair, and said in a loud voice: "Go back, go back, I have to write a memorial to the central center overnight, it's just the opposite of the sky."

Zhao and Fang rode on their horses, laughing and leaning back and forth, and all the horsemen also booed endlessly.
