Water Margin people

Juyongguan.

Ma Jin was sitting at the pass. After Tang Bin and others left, he guarded Juyong Pass.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? Do you have a guide?"

The defenders at the gate stopped a few people who were about to enter and interrogated them. Although these people were dressed like fleeing farmers, their temperament was not right.

"We are fleeing from Wuzhou!"

One person said with a smile, he took two steps forward, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and was about to put it into the guard's hand.

"How dare you pay bribes? Come on, catch them!"

The guards immediately shouted, and the other defenders immediately surrounded the few people in front of them.

"Guys, we just want to go to Xijin Mansion!"

The first middle-aged scribe spoke.

"Hmph, you are just pretending to sneak into the customs. I think you are planning something evil! Take it down!"

The defenders didn't care about explaining this. The people in front of them hid their identities and wanted to sneak into the customs, and they also tried to pay bribes to pass the customs. This was a serious crime.

"Ok?"

Ma Jin heard the movement at the door and led his soldiers down the city gate.

"Isn't this Captain Fang from Tian Hu's tent? Why are you pretending to be a farmer? What are you doing?"

Ma Jin looked at the people who were tied up, and there was an acquaintance named Fang Xuedu among them.

"It's General Ma!"

Fang Xuedu felt a little more at ease when he saw that it was Ma Jin, but at this time he was found tied up, and the smile on his face was a little stiff.

"Fang Taiwei, you can be considered an acquaintance of mine in Liangshan. My brother has praised you many times. How come you have gotten so far now?"

Ma Jin looked at Fang Xuedu and smiled.

"This time I was ordered by King Jin to go and see Leader Sun!"

Fang Xuefu directly explained his purpose. He originally wanted to secretly go to Xijin Mansion and catch Sun Lei by surprise, which would make it easier to negotiate terms. But now that he was caught before he even entered Juyong Pass, there was no need to hide anything anymore. .

"You want to see my brother? Then why do you have to do this?"

Ma Jin pointed at Fang Xuedu who was wearing civilian clothes and said.

"I'm just afraid of misunderstanding!"

Fang Xuedu said.

"Haha, unfortunately, there has been a misunderstanding! Someone, escort them to Xijin Mansion!"

Ma Jin ordered to the soldiers that if Fang Xuedu came directly to pay respects, then he would naturally send someone to escort him to Xijin Mansion. But now that he was caught, he could only be escorted back as a prisoner.

"Are there any of you who are trying to sneak in in disguise? I'm warning you, you will be shot to death next time you find someone else!"

Ma Jin looked at Fang Xuedu and said, he didn't want people to disguise themselves and sneak into the pass all the time.

"there is none left!"

Fang Xuedu shook his head and said, now that most of the city west of Juyongguan has returned to Liangshan, they have no way to send people over.

"So much the better!"

Ma Jin nodded.

"Report, the army will recapture Yuzhou, and the rebels of Xi State will flee to the west!"

At this moment, a cavalryman flew up to report.

"Send the news back to Xijin Mansion quickly!"

Ma Jin burst out laughing. There have been a lot of good news recently.

Fang Xuedu's face froze when he heard the news. Tian Hu had already contacted Xiao Qian before he arrived, preparing to join forces to block Liangshan's advance outside Yuzhou City.

"How come Weizhou was broken so quickly? It's only been two days, right?"

Someone next to Fang Xuedu whispered.

"Silence!"

Fang Xuedu whispered.

...Analysis of Jin Mansion.

"Brother, the new emperor of the Kingdom of Jin has ascended the throne! It is Wanyan Aguda's fourth brother Wanyan Sheng who has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself the emperor, and named him Tianhui..."

Ma Ling reported the situation in the Kingdom of Jin to Sun Lei.

"Wanyan Sheng?"

Sun Lei touched his chin and thought about it. The Jurchen custom is that all brothers, nephews and nephews have the right to inherit.

"You don't have any objections to the sons that Wanyan Agu beat?"

Sun Lei asked, "The sons of Wanyan Aguda are all brave and resourceful. As the biological sons of Wanyan Aguda, these people can inherit the throne."

"My little brother didn't find any of this!"

Ma Ling shook his head. He just made a brief investigation. He did not investigate in depth because he was worried about being exposed.

"Brother, Wanyan Sheng has a high reputation among the Jurchen clans. He is also the person with the highest official position in the Jin Kingdom besides Wanyan Aguda. As early as last year, Wanyan Aguda asked Wanyan Sheng to be in charge of the government of the Jin Kingdom."

Xu Guanzhong said that he knew the senior officials of the Jin Kingdom very well.

"But people like Wanyan Zonghan must be unwilling to do so. They also followed Wanyan Agu all the way to fight. They fought for many years and made countless achievements."

Xu Guanzhong added.

The inheritance of the Jin Kingdom is very confusing, and the tribal system and the concubine system are confusing and unclear. Wanyan Zonghan is just a collateral nephew of Wanyan Agu family three generations away, but he still has inheritance rights in the tribal system.

This issue can be suppressed now that Wanyan Sheng is here, and the next generation will not dare to complain. But if Wanyan Sheng dies, then the throne will be up for grabs.

Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyan Yinshu, but these have the right of inheritance.

Moreover, each of these people has been fighting all the way since the establishment of the Jin Kingdom. By then, with military merit and fame, their ambitions will naturally expand.

"Does the Kingdom of Jin have any intention to invade Yanyun?"

Sun Lei asked again.

"It didn't happen before. This time they thought of taking over Yanyun in one fell swoop with a sneak attack, but they didn't expect to face our Liangshan. It's like talking about iron plate. There are 20 troops from all walks of life. Less than half of them went back. They are no longer able to fight again. war!"

"In addition, Wanyan Aguda's funeral has not been held yet. It is estimated that the tomb is still being excavated. They will not send troops again within half a year."

Ma Ling said.

"Finally we can have some peace and quiet!"

Sun Lei leaned on the soft couch and breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't like the hard dragon chair in Liao Kingdom. It was the most comfortable to lean on the soft couch in this winter.

"Brother, Han Shizhong wants to see you!"

Lu Fang walked into the hall and said.

"Let him in!"

Sun Lei nodded and waved.

"Old Han, if you don't follow Tong Guan, why are you here? But you don't want to leave?"

Sun Lei asked as he looked at Han Shizhong who came in with a smile.

"What did you mean by what you said last time?"

Han Shizhong stared at Sun Lei and said.

"Liang Hongyu? How can you bear to let such a good woman stay in the classroom? Don't you know what kind of place that is?"

Sun Lei didn't go around in circles with Han Shizhong and spoke directly.

"You...what did you do to her!"

Han Shizhong's face froze, he gritted his teeth and said, staring at Sun Lei.

"Who do you think I am? Going to snatch women with you in a church? It's just a wealthy businessman who passed by and fell in love with Liang Hongyu. He bribed the history of the church and planned to take her home as a concubine!"

Sun Lei said, in the drama, it is said that Liang Hongyu redeemed herself, which is obviously untenable. Liang Hongyu was a Jiaofangsi who broke into the prison after being a prisoner. This status is more difficult to escape than a brothel woman.

A brothel girl can still save money to redeem herself, but Liang Hongyu is in a religious house, and all her money comes from small rewards. Unless a prisoner like this is pardoned or guaranteed by a high-ranking official, no matter how much money she has, she will not be able to get out of jail.

"What? Who is it!"

Han Shizhong roared with murderous intent. (End of chapter)
