King of Song

Chapter 84
The two uproars in Bianjing disappeared like this. In the turbulent waves, the little Master Lin was so strong that many people were amazed.Of course, everyone knew that it was because of the support of the official Zhao Xu behind him.

On the day Lin Zhao left Bianjing, officials from Zaifu, Hanlin, and Bingsan Judicial Department went to Dengzhou to investigate and finally had results.There is indeed something else hidden in the case. The original victim, Wei Ada, is a hooligan, and Ayun's cousin is also not a thing. The two jointly threatened and deceived Ayun.

In a word, Ayun was wronged and a victim. The result made the officials who had insisted on the death penalty silenced. They almost ignored human lives and caused a catastrophe.

As for the real murderer of the case, Yu Xuan, he also came forward to save Ayun because he was in danger, which is not considered a heinous crime.However, most of the two violated the law, such as hurting others, such as "obstructing justice"...

The opinion given by the Ministry of Punishment is to sentence the editor to be a supervisor, that is, to serve hard labor under local custody.In the end, it was reported to the emperor Zhao Xu, who was granted an amnesty, and the two were released without charge.

A pair of fateful mandarin ducks finally saw the moonlight when the clouds opened, they met again, and they were able to live a stable life together.For Xuan and Ayun, the person who should be most grateful is undoubtedly Lin Zhao, who saved their lives and made their marriage possible.

It's a pity that when he rushed to Jiangnanju to thank his benefactor, Mr. Lin had already gone to Jiangnan.The two were dejected and sad, and happened to have nowhere to go, so Gundam, who stayed behind in Bianjing, took them in when he saw this.Yu Xuan knew how to hyphenate characters, and Ayun was ingenious. Since then, the couple have become good helpers in the Lin family's business.

The Ayun case was full of twists and turns, which surprised many people.The impact of this matter is far-reaching. Emperor Zhao Xu hit the power of conservative ministers very well with this case, and the corresponding obstacles were almost cleared away. Reform and reform are already unstoppable...

Under such a situation, the new year of Xining's second year is coming. After a year of precariousness, the Song Dynasty is still stable for the time being.Emperor Zhao Xu is ambitious, Wang Anshi is about to make a big splash, Sima Guang is inevitably full of emotions, and the wheel of history is already rolling forward.

In the next two years of Xining, the Great Song Dynasty will be doomed to be restless and extraordinary...

Lin Zhao, who has inadvertently contributed to many key points, has already left Bianjing and hurried to Jiangning...

After the incident in Laba, Lin Zhao stayed in Bianjing for a few more days, and left to return to the south around the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.Generally speaking, it takes 22 to [-] days to travel from Bianjing to Jiangning, but Lin Zhao has a white dragon under his crotch, and his heart is like an arrow, so he minimizes delays on the way and returns to the south quickly...

But humans and horses are both animals, and their physical energy will be consumed rapidly in a short period of time. It is inevitable that humans will be tired and horses will be exhausted, so it is inevitable to stop and take a rest on the way.

When he walked to Nanjing in the Song Dynasty, Lin Zhao looked at the tired Bailong and felt that he had to stop and rest for a night. There is a saying that haste makes waste, and he and the horse should not be exhausted.

Note that Nanjing here is not the city along the Yangtze River in later generations, but Yingtianfu near the south of Shangqiu.Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was the envoy of the German army in Songzhou before adding the yellow robe. Songzhou was the land of Longxing in the Song Dynasty.

After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he changed Songzhou to Yingtianfu, which was designated as Nanjing in the Song Dynasty. It was also called Guidezhou because it was once the residence of the Guide Army.Located on the bank of the canal to the southeast of Bianjing, it is the only way for Lin Zhao to return to Jiangning.

It's a pity that Lin Zhao was unlucky enough to arrive before dark, so he had to spend the night halfway outside the city.Coincidentally, it happened to be in a place with no village in front and no shops behind. The only few households were one or two thatched huts, which were not enough for their own living, and they couldn't live with outsiders at all.But they showed Lin Zhao a place to go, a nunnery...

How can this be good?

I'm afraid it's very inconvenient to go to a nunnery to spend the night!But it's cold in the twelfth lunar month, it's really cold outside, I'm afraid I'll freeze to death without a place to live.

Fortunately, the villagers told Lin Zhao that the Buddhist school is compassionate, and that this nunnery has a special courtyard for lodging for passers-by. It has been many years and they have been living in peace.

"That's good!" Lin Zhao went there with peace of mind.

Walking to the door and seeing the lights shining, the words Jingxin Temple are very clear.Lin Zhao knocked lightly on the door, and an old nun came out to open the door. After explaining his purpose, he was led to a separate courtyard.

The lights in several houses were still on, obviously someone had already moved in, and the sound of reading could be heard from one of them, it seemed that a scholar lived there.Only then did Lin Zhao feel relieved, so he settled down and prepared to leave after dawn.

But sleeping until midnight, Lin Zhao was suddenly awakened by slight but hasty footsteps.In fact, if it is an ordinary person, it may not be able to hear it.One is that Lin Zhao's criminal investigation is sensitive, and the other is that he has studied martial arts with Su An for nearly half a year, and his ears have become more intelligent.

In the middle of the night, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, a martial arts master came to the nunnery in the wilderness. It felt a bit like the plot in a martial arts novel, hey...

Out of curiosity, Lin Zhao got up and walked to the window, wanting to find out, but just standing at the window, he felt a murderous aura instantly.Through a window, Lin Zhao didn't know that a crossbow was aimed at him in the dark night outside, but he could clearly feel the danger approaching...

Lin Zhao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that someone was assassinated on the way because he offended someone in Bianjing?

It seems that I have underestimated the character of these princes and grandsons and scholar-bureaucrats. On the surface, they look like gentlemen, but they are full of nasty deeds behind their backs...

Lin Zhao stepped back gently with concentration, ready to escape at any time.Unexpectedly, as soon as he retreated, the dangerous aura would gradually decrease, or even cease to exist.

How is this going?Could it be that he was being overwhelmed and not aimed at himself?Lin Zhao lay back on the bed anxiously, but never took off his shoes, socks and clothes, and was ready to escape whenever there was a situation...

A moment later, in the grove outside the nunnery, several figures jumped quickly, and all bowed to salute one person.Under the faint moonlight of the crescent moon, a tall and stalwart man stood with his hands behind his back, wrapped in a robe, with his back to the crowd, his face and demeanor could not be seen, and his identity was even more unknown...

"Sect Master, according to the news, Madam should be in this nunnery..."

"Are you sure? The old man has been happy many times over the years..." The man spoke, and his voice seemed to be that of a man over 50 years old. His tone was not high, but there was majesty and vigor...

"Sovereign, this time it shouldn't be wrong. We have already inquired about it. The description of the time and other aspects are very similar. It is very likely that it is the lady... There will be morning classes after dawn. The suzerain can go and see for himself after changing his appearance. , to determine whether it is Madam!"

"Well, the old man will go after dawn... It's been so many years, I hope I won't be wrong again..." The man sighed with emotion. The person he wants to find is very important, and he has been searching for many years. He must have gone through hardships and is already disappointed. Many times, it can be said that I have been hit hard...

"Your crossbow is open, what happened?" The man turned his head slightly, with a mask on his face, seeing his subordinate's crossbow open from the corner of his eye, he couldn't help asking in doubt.

"Someone seems to have noticed his subordinate just now, he was a little on guard, and he already understood that he is a young man riding a white horse... Maybe it's the boss Lin who has been on the cusp of Bianjing recently..."

"Why is he here?" The man was startled, and even slightly nervous.

"Sect Master, don't worry, this person seems to be staying here by chance in order to hurry back to Jiangning to reunite with his family..."

"That's good!" The man said softly: "Recently, this kid has made a lot of noise in Bianjing, and Zhao Xu's unfilial son, the great country left by his ancestors, I'm afraid he will toss it all... It's a pity, if back then..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It can be said that Lin Zhao waited for the next night, only to realize that it was a false alarm at dawn.But it's better not to stay in this strange nunnery too long. In addition, the heart is like an arrow, so I bid farewell and left...

As soon as he went out, he ran into the scholar next door. Lin Zhaozhi knew that he had been studying for a long time last night, and he seemed to be working hard.Seeing Lin Zhao leading the horse and preparing to leave, the scholar praised: "The horse under your feet is really a steed, it's rare to see it!"

"Thank you!" Lin Zhao politely accepted the compliment.

The scholar asked: "Brother, do you want to go south or north?"

"Go south!" Lin Zhao couldn't help but have a dignified expression. This nunnery is inherently weird, and the scholar seems to be about the same age as him. What's the purpose of asking like this?

"Unfortunately, I'm going to travel north to prepare for the next year's scientific research. The journey is lonely. I wanted to find someone to go with me..."

"Scientific examination? Isn't that going to be in the year after next? As for this early?" Calculated according to the time, the next Jinshi examination will be in the spring of the third year of Xining, and now it's the twelfth lunar month of the first year of Xining. It's a bit outrageous to prepare early!

"It's true that there is still a year left, but I am from southern Fujian. I have read a lot but don't have a wide range of vision, so I want to travel around the Central Plains to increase my knowledge..."

"That's how it is!" At that time, central Fujian was not yet fully civilized, and it was normal for information to be blocked.Lin Zhao said with a smile: "Then congratulations to Xiongtai for being named on the gold list in the coming year, for winning the top spot..."

"Thank you, brother, for your good words!" The scholar never thought that a simple polite sentence today would actually fulfill the promise more than a year later...

"I still have something to do, so I'm leaving!" Lin Zhao didn't care, and left with Bai Long...

The scholar stayed in the nunnery for several days, and he went to bid farewell to the nunnery teacher out of courtesy.It happened to be the time for morning classes, and many nuns were heading to the Buddhist hall...

The scholar accidentally saw a middle-aged nun, and couldn't help but be amazed: "Hey, why is the facial features of this teacher's wife somewhat similar to that of the brother just now?"

In the distance, an old man in disguise pretended to come to offer incense. When he saw the nun's face, he almost burst into tears.After many years, I finally found it...

PS: Three Questions burst into tears and apologize to everyone!It's too hot. After writing a chapter last night, I'm going to take a shower and come back to edit and upload it.As a result, the power went out, the power went out... I woke up several times a night, but the fan didn't turn on, woo... I woke up in the morning and quickly edited and uploaded, and then I was forced to go to work...

Also, friends who are interested, guess who the characters appearing in this chapter are?
