I, Han Gaozu, actually traveled through Song Gaozong?

Chapter 81 Even More Ridiculous

The reason why Xin Ciying was unwilling to enter the city was that apart from the emperor's order that he dare not be careless, there was actually another reason:
He knew Fan Tong and Fan Zeshan, the magistrate of Mingzhou.

This person was also a Jinshi during the Zhenghe period, but he was three years behind me, so he can't be regarded as a classmate.

The reason why I knew each other was because three years ago, Jin Guo sent an envoy here, and this person was doing reception work at that time.

Just receive the reception, he and the golden envoy went to the north to worship together, and they kept caring about the daily life of the golden lord.

All the soldiers and civilians on both sides of the Huaihe River were in tears when they saw this.

Such a good dog, at first Prime Minister Qin was reluctant to let him go out of Lin'an... But he couldn't bear the thoughtfulness of Prefect Fan, he only thought that Prime Minister Qin's life was too simple and he couldn't do much by himself in Lin'an City, but when he arrived in Mingzhou This treasure land, lightly scooped up every day, just the oil and water sticking between the fingers, is enough to improve Qin Xiang... and his own life.

Thinking that Mingzhou is not far from Lin'an, Prime Minister Qin reluctantly gave up his love and let him come here to be the magistrate.

The last time the emperor received the Wanmin letter, this one spent a lot of effort... It is estimated that after this peace negotiation is over, the prefect Fan should go back. After all, there are many errands in the imperial court that are empty, and people will eventually need to fill them.

Xin Ciying didn't know so many things, he only knew that this person belonged to Qin Hui.

And now, Fan Tong is standing on the tower of the city gate... together with some gentry from Mingzhou, watching this group of people who have disturbed their money for a few days,
Forbidden Army performance.

"Tsk tsk..."

Prefect Fan has already shook his head, and everyone can see that there are only a boatload of people on the other side.

They relaxed a lot in their hearts, and they even looked forward to it...

After all, Xin Ciying didn't eat oil and salt, so he didn't know how long he would stay here.

But the Jin people are different, just such a few people, they will leave after robbing the merchant ship... Great, come ashore to rob fishermen?

I was amused by my own thoughts, a few broken fish, the golden man is not a very hungry common people, and he doesn't want everything.

It's just that at the moment of peace talks, the Jin people even sent troops here...

Fan Tong hadn't reached the point where he was intimate with Qin Hui, so naturally he didn't know that these people were originally invited by Qin Hui.

But he had to think a little more.

"Master Zhifu..."

The messenger next to him yelled softly, pulling Fan Tong away from his thoughts, and following the man's gaze, he followed to look down...

It turned out that the merchants who had abandoned their boats and fled ashore had already reached the gate of the city.

"Open the city gate?"

Fan Tong glared at him: "What gate to open?! If there are people from the Kingdom of Jin mixed in here, who will take care of it?!"

He was talking nonsense with his eyes wide open. Everyone watched them run off the boat with their own eyes, and these people were all empty-handed, not even carrying a weapon...

The policeman finally stopped talking, but he spoke loudly, and the merchants below stopped doing it.

Either I came to Mingzhou to buy things, or I came to Mingzhou to sell things. No matter how I said it, I didn't pay less tolls on weekdays.

Even the gates of the city are not allowed to enter today. If the people of the Kingdom of Jin chase after them, why not throw their lives here?

Those with sharper eyes saw the old acquaintance on the top of the city, and hurriedly called out:

"Member Fang! Look at me, I'm from the Li family in Wenzhou! Last month I came to ask you to have a drink! It's not some kind of golden man!"

When he shouted like this, he reminded everyone, and everyone started looking for their acquaintances.

After a while, almost all the gentry on the city gate were called by name.

There was no reason to do business once, and the gentry who had been called by name kept begging Fan Zhifu...With their pressure, it was difficult for Fan Tong to do.

I have taken a lot of benefits from others on weekdays... If I don't perform well today, I am afraid it will be unreasonable.

Prefect Fan kept lamenting that he was a scholar after all, and his heart was a little softer, and he couldn't bear to be coaxed by others with light words.

"Everyone, let's identify each other. You have to see clearly. We are Song talents. If some spies come in... I can't take the responsibility."

While talking, he signaled the soldiers to put the bamboo basket down... Li Qingzhao's first husband ran away like this, and her second husband...

It just happened to be the magistrate of Mingzhou City. Speaking of it, it is really a coincidence.

The merchants who had been guaranteed under the city wall put themselves into baskets as fast as they could, one by one, as if they had received amnesty. They waited until they reached the city wall before they breathed a sigh of relief and kept thanking their benefactors.

Although he lost his property this time, he saved his life at least, which is considered a great fortune among misfortunes.

The Li family from Wenzhou who spoke first bowed to his Fang Yuanwai and the prefect Fan, and quickly ordered the soldiers:

"That, that..." He pointed to the person below, "That's my family's boatman, who is also from Song Dynasty, please bring him up too... Thank you, thank you."

Now, before Fan Tong spoke, the Fang Yuanwai quit:
"Mr. Li, I only know you, not your boatman. This is a matter of life and death...I won't embarrass you, and you don't embarrass me, okay?"

Li Yuanwai couldn't help frowning, this guy has been with him for many years, and now he's left behind...

It was useless for him to plead several times, looking at the hopeful face of the waiter under the wall... After all, he stood inside and completely hid himself inside the city wall.

Husband and wife fly separately in the face of disaster... It's not because I am ruthless, it is, it is...

He kept comforting himself, waiting for the imperial guards outside to drive away the golden man, it would be the same to let him in at that time.

This kind of scene is constantly being staged, seeing more and more people going up, and fewer and fewer people staying... Except for some coolies, there are only a few people, and they are businessmen who have not come to Mingzhou for a long time and have no old acquaintances up.

"No more, right? Then close the basket!"

Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Today, for saving so many people, the Bodhisattva can at least count hundreds of pagodas for himself.

Prefect Fan was overjoyed, but the unscrupulous people below were not aware of good intentions.

A total of three baskets were put down, each of which can hold two people. When he gave the order, the group of people seemed to be crazy, and kept rushing towards the basket.

In just a moment, seven or eight people were filled in each basket, and quite a few people were dragging their feet underneath, trying to be taken up.

Although the soldiers were struggling, a few more people were added to help, so they could hold on.

The ones below who are more courageous and powerful follow the rope and keep climbing up.

Prefect Fan reacted very quickly, and scolded angrily: "What are you trying to do on the wall? Jin Guo's meticulous work is indispensable this time!"

As he spoke, he took the soldier's spear and stabbed it in the hand of the man who was about to climb up to the top of the wall.

The man couldn't bear the pain, fell from the nearly two feet high wall, and lost his breath in an instant.

While he was doing it, he also asked the rest of the people to do it with him, as if those who climbed up were really golden men without a doubt.

The five or six leaders all fell down, and the people in the middle either advanced or retreated, and they didn't know what to do.

However, they don't need to know, because Fan Tong made a choice for them.

"Break the rope!"

"grown ups……"

"Break the rope!"

The soldier gritted his teeth, and slashed at the rope with his knife. The basket and the people hanging in the middle fell to the ground...

It really stirred up a lot of dust.

Now, no one can come in.

Fan Tong called the recorder:

"Today we met Jin Guo's naval army...more than [-] people, all of Mingzhou fought against the bandits...There were also more than a hundred Jin Guo's secret agents, all of whom were seen through and captured...Fortunately, Mingzhou City is blessed by the officials..."

"Not a single thief."

Seeing that he had finished writing, Fan Tong checked it again, and after confirming that it was correct, he hurried off again and delivered the letter.
