ruffian mixed in ancient times

Chapter 205 "Jiangnan Traitors"

There are already many cruise ships on the West Lake, hundreds of boats big and small wandering together, the palace lanterns and water lanterns are as numerous as shining stars, and the tours along the lake are all night long, and the sky is never bright. Under the willows on both sides, singing together, it is very lively.

"It turns out that this is what it feels like to swim in the West Lake and enjoy the moonlight." Ah Zhen leaned on the side of the couch, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, Benny's sweet dimples were full of dew, and she sighed lightly as she paddled the cool water of the lake: "It's really good!"

The clear moonlight falls softly, and the cool breeze gently touches the cheeks. The air exudes the fragrance of flowers, elegant and fragrant, intoxicating. Reciting poems against each other, this poetic and picturesque feeling made people never expect that this place would almost be bloody.

"Da Sima hasn't been to West Lake, has he?"

"Yes, Murong Xi, you are so lucky." Ah Zhen teased.

Murong Xi said with embarrassment on his face: "No, it's all because the emperor loves and pities the humble minister."

"It's best if you know." Ah Zhen lay down on Qianyun's legs, "Dai Tianmu guards the city, must be cautious, and form a party with rebellious officials and thieves, even if it doesn't fall into my hands, it will not end well .”

"Yes, yes, my minister was blinded for a while and went astray. Thank you, Da Sima, for your forgiveness."

The water was turbulent, and the boat approached the lake. Ah Zhen stood up, carefully holding Qianyun's tender water and said: "Let's get off the boat and walk." A group of people followed him and wandered around the West Lake.

"Song Zhu Mei Sui Han three friends."

When they walked to a stone pavilion, this couplet floated into everyone's ears.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look." Ah Zhen gestured at the literary scholars in the pavilion, and everyone heard that Brother Zhen was going to have a couplet, and they followed closely behind excitedly.

Soon a group of people came to the pavilion, and seeing four young gentlemen standing in the pavilion, all of them smelled like books, he clasped his fists and said, "Are you all in a couplet?"

When the four young masters were enjoying themselves, they saw an imposing and luxurious son asking, and they clasped their fists in response, "We are playing, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, but I was attracted by your couplet when I was traveling occasionally."

When he said this, the four young princes suddenly clasped their fists and said: "It turns out that Xiongtai is also a member of Ailian, why don't you ask Xiongtai to match up."

"Don't dare dare." Ah Zhen cupped his fists and bowed.

"Brother Dong Zan's upper couplet just now is: three friends of pine, bamboo, plum, Suihan, and brother Taiwan, please make a pair."

Seeing the man who said the couplet, Ah Zhen gestured to a man in a green shirt next to him. Ah Zhen nodded to them and then turned around and asked, "Which one of you is right?"

Liu Fengyang and Guo Zhixiao shook their heads together, Ah Zhen smiled and said, "Murong Xi, give it a try?"

"Then I'll make a fool of myself." Murongxi heard the words of Da Sima, approached and said: "Tao Li Xing Chunfeng's family."

As soon as this couplet came out, the four scholars nodded repeatedly and said: "This brother is right, you are right." The four looked at Murong Xi's round body and sighed, you can't look like a person.

"I have a couplet, and I would like to ask you to make a pair." Seeing that Brother Dongzan's couplet was matched, an old man in a white shirt stood up and clasped his fists and said.

Ah Zhen clasped his fists and replied: "You are polite, please enlighten me."

"Qingxi under the bridge, let's see how long you have been turbid. Please be right." Said the white-clothed man gesticulating.

Ah Zhen raised his eyebrows, opened the fan with a snap and asked everyone behind him: "Who's coming this time?"

It's been a long time since no one came to answer, so Ah Zhen asked Murong Xi, "How about you to make another pair?"

"This..." Murong Xi hesitated, blushing.

Seeing that they couldn't get it right, the four brothers raised the corners of their mouths and smiled, "If you guys can't get it right, don't force it."

"The main road in front of the pavilion is to persuade the crowd not to go on evil paths." Benny met her as she exited, and her smile became even sweeter.

Ah Zhen raised his brows in surprise, he didn't expect that Tibetans are also proficient in couplets, but Benny's couplets are really good, the four brothers are too arrogant.

Seeing that they were being met by an extremely cute little girl, the four of them immediately blushed with embarrassment after hearing the content.

"The garden is full of purples and reds, and the garden is full of spring." A man in the red face saw that the little girl was so cute, so he said it.

The dimples of Bai Ni's smile were deep, and she answered without thinking: "Five winds and ten rains are everywhere to make the sun shine."

Liu Fengyang, Guo Zhixiao and the others looked at Bei Ni in amazement, they didn't expect a Tubo girl to be so talented, it really made them ashamed.

Seeing this cute little girl, the four elder brothers went up to each other without stopping. Surprised, one of them stood up and chanted: "In the middle of the night, the stars moved and startled a forest of resident birds."

Ah Zhen raised his eyebrows and looked at Benny. Seeing her smiling happily, he opened his small mouth: "The thunder in deep spring awakens the hidden dragon in the abyss."

"Okay" Liu Fengyang and Guo Zhixiao immediately said hello, they admired Benny all over the place, originally they looked at her with admiration, and now they are even more admiring.

Seeing that Lian was repeatedly confronted by this cute little girl, the fourth brother stood silently by the side and did not dare to speak again.

Seeing that they did not dare to be arrogant, Benny gave them a fatal blow, "Dragon does not sing, tiger does not scream, flowers are not sweet, fragrant birds are not called laughing and killing bachelors." After speaking, she looked at the four of them and said happily. : "Please also meet the previous pair."

Liu Fengyang and others listened to Bei Ni's teasing of the four of them, and held back the laughter that was about to burst out. Ah Zhen opened his mouth and looked at Bei Ni, this little girl is really as good as him.

"These" four people listened to her couplets, their faces became red like blood oars, and this and that didn't come out.

"Let's go." Ah Zhen said softly after waiting for a long time.

Benny nodded, and a group of people walked to Shiting.

"Wait a minute, I don't know what is the girl's second line?" Seeing that they were going to leave, the four brothers asked anxiously with red faces.

Ah Zhen shouted behind him without looking back. "A game of chess with no wheels, no horses, no legs, guns, no smoke, fire elephants, no teeth, smothering the general."

Benny nodded repeatedly, and the fourth brother was even more stunned.

Seeing them like this, Ah Zhen happily walked towards the side of the West Lake with Liu Fengyang and his group, leaving the four stunned people far behind.

It was a small boat, with bright water lanterns hung on the prow and stern, so that people on the boat could clearly see the two people on the boat, a man playing a huqin, about 24 or [-] years old, Another seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl was singing clearly.

Although the strong man is nothing to look at, but the aunt's witty words are like pearls, she is beautiful and graceful, and her singing is melodious. There are many people who come to listen or watch, and they all form a circle.

Ah Zhen and the others sat on the shore and listened for more than half an hour, and it just came to an end, Xiao Pan began to row to the side of each boat to receive the reward, and continued to sing after receiving the reward.

Ah Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, "It's so beautiful to sing, I can't stop listening to it!" He tilted his head and continued to listen, and soon another half an hour passed. As soon as he got close to Ah Zhen, he was stunned, not only he was stunned, Liu Fengyang and others were also stunned, their eyes murmured and looked at the two people on the boat.When the boat got closer, everyone was shocked, but Ah Zhen opened his mouth instead.

These two are not others, one is Xiang Shaoyun and the other is Yun Richu who hurried down to the south of the Yangtze River before he had time to pay his respects. , begging for rewards along the coast.

Seeing this, Ah Zhen raised his eyebrows and said to Liu Fengyang: "More rewards."

Liu Fengyang also opened his mouth and replied: "Look at how poor these two are, they can't do without more rewards."

Xiang Shaoyun, who was close to them, immediately puffed up his cheeks when he heard their teasing, gritted his teeth and hated the darkness: "After hearing the report from the young general, he ran around day and night for fifteen days. When he first arrived, he went to the city every day to check the place. There were two stones placed at the gate of the house, but they couldn't find them. I was worried that something happened, so I sent people to look for the Tubo merchants with a dozen people. Later, I heard that I was going to Hangzhou. He led the team and arrived in the evening. Before he had time to eat, Chu'er and Chu'er came to look for them. Sure enough, they saw a large group of them playing in the West Lake. He didn't dare to recognize them rashly. He sold a small boat and used singing to attract them. He could see that it was true. Brother Zhen and his group had a lot of fun, it didn't look like something big had happened."

"Look for me in the Hangzhou state capital in the middle of the night." When Xiang Shaoyun's boat approached, Ah Zhen slipped a 100 tael bank note to Yun Richu, and whispered to Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun was about to admit it at first, but when he heard Brother Zhen's lowered voice, he didn't dare to make a move after a moment of stunned, so he rowed a small boat and continued to beg for rewards along the shore.Did something really happen?Otherwise, why is Brother Zhen so careful.

When the stars were dark and the moon was twilight, Ah Zhen ate and drank comfortably on the coffee table with a few dishes, as if he had forgotten why he was sitting here to eat.

In the dark night, two figures flew down from the chairs and walked into the hall in an instant. Liu Fengyang stood up happily when he saw someone coming, trotted forward and asked: "Shaoyun, you are finally here."

"The speed is quite fast." Ah Zhen nodded in satisfaction. He originally wanted them to arrive within [-] days, but he didn't expect them to arrive on the [-]th, and they rushed to Hangzhou to find him.

"Brother Zhen, the seals are all outside the city." Xiang Shaoyun was relieved to see that they were all right.

Ah Zhen nodded and said: "Wait a minute, you take the general there, then you return to me, and hand over the seals to the five captains, and everyone is not allowed to go out, fully armed and waiting for my order."

"Yes." The general obeyed the coach's orders and flew away with Xiang Shaoyun, and disappeared into the curtain in an instant.

Ah Zhen looked at Yun Richu and apologized, "Richu, I'm sorry to disturb your wedding, it's really urgent."

"My lord, you don't have to be polite, Richu understands." Yun Richu generally expressed his indifference.

Ah Zhen nodded, raised his face and said to everyone: "As soon as Nanwei opens, I will attack Jiangnan, everyone should be prepared."

Seeing that he was so serious, everyone nodded their heads to express their understanding.

"Okay, everyone, go back to your room and go to sleep. We will reveal our identities tomorrow, and the Nanwei will start the day after tomorrow. It's really not good if we don't see these ministers." After sighing, Ah Zhen stood up, and there was still a lot of work to do Woolen cloth.

As soon as the dawn rose, Ah Zhen was screaming from her hungry stomach, and Qian Yun was already very busy in the room.

Li Suo's skillful hands helped her husband to wear his unique Da Sima official uniform, tied the belt and muttered: "Husband is really going to reveal his identity?"

"Well, it's Nanwei tomorrow. This stall is messy enough. I'm afraid these people don't know how to deal with it if we don't come out to town."

It wasn't until Qianyun dressed him up in a dignified manner that the two of them walked out of the room.

"Shaoyun, immediately ask the seals to come to me, paint their faces, and walk through the streets openly." When they arrived at the main hall, Ah Zhen gave the order.

Xiang Shaoyun should leave quickly.

Murong Xi saw that Da Sima was wearing official uniform, and heard that he had sent his own soldiers to guard the mansion, he was afraid to invite him and said: "Da Sima's breakfast is ready."

"Hmm." After lightly responding, he followed him into the inner hall.

When he entered the inner hall, he saw Murong Youlan standing beside him, his eyes widened curiously, with a look of disbelief.

"Let me introduce you, Da Sima, this is Weichen's little daughter, named ""

"I know you, no need to introduce." Ah Zhen waved his hand and walked into the dining table.

Last night, Murong Youlan heard the girl talk about Da Sima coming to the mansion. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night. She got up early in the morning and stalked her father. She finally got a chance to sit at the same table. Unexpectedly, this big Sima turned out to be the hooligan who stared straight at Cheng Pan, his heart was extremely strange, and his heart was suddenly empty, he didn't expect that the big Sima was him.How could the hero in her mind be this rascal.

"Lan Er" Murong Xi saw that his daughter's face was white and red, the daughter who knew the book and the etiquette did not forget the etiquette.

He called Murong Youlan to wake up, bit his lips and said softly, "Youlan met Da Sima."

"No, sit down and eat." Ah Zhen gestured for sitting down with chopsticks, and kept talking.

Murong Youlan clenched her teeth, sat down with a hollow heart and took up the bowl and sucked gently.

Ah Zhen gulped down the bowl of porridge, wiped his mouth and ordered: "Murong Xi, wait a moment and ask all the officials in Jiangnan to kneel for me at the gate outside the mansion."

Murong Xi was shocked, Da Sima made a move, and the moment he made a move, it was such a big move, he should be afraid in his heart, and asked cautiously: "What if someone doesn't come?"

"Isn't that great? It's exactly what I want." Ah Zhen smiled sinisterly.

Murong Xi's heart skipped a beat and he didn't dare to speak anymore.Murong Youlan was stunned, why is this person different from the lowly person yesterday, could it be that there are two identical people?

Ah Zhen sat in the hall and waited in the morning, and one after another Hangzhou officials knelt down in front of the mansion.At noon, he sat on that chair without eating. Layers of seals surrounded the entrance of Hangzhou Mansion, and all the intersections were piled up.The common people looked at this group of people with dragons and phoenixes dancing on their faces, dressed in strange clothes, all of them were fierce and fierce like wild animals, they did not dare to get close and watched from afar.

"Wang Haoli, a naval officer of the Minjiang River."

"Zhejiang Shuishisong lost value."

Murong Xi stood beside him and said tremblingly.

Ah Zhen watched the old and strong official step forward with a tiger's stride, and after seeing him bowed, he knelt down with his ministers on the ground.

"How?" Ah Zhen asked lowly.

Murong Xi whispered in his ear: "Wang Haoli, the Minjiang naval officer, has never been involved in this matter, and there was a correspondence with Wang Yong in Zhejiang."

"Xu Wen, the prefectural capital of Suzhou."

"Jiangning navy master Fumin."

"Jiangning Prefecture Xianshi Dali."

Ah Zhen raised his eyebrows when he heard the name and asked, "Are you two brothers?" He saw that they were about the same age, so he also kowtowed and knelt down in front of him.

"Yes, both of them are Wang Yong's confidantes."

Really dare to come, Ah Zhen snorted and glared at the two brothers.

There were a lot of people one after another, until the sky was getting dark, there were more than 60 officials above the fifth rank.

Ah Zhen turned his head and stood up and shouted: "It's all for Sima to stand up."

After the words fell, everyone stood up slowly in weakness, kneeling for too long without feeling their knees.

Seeing that everyone stood up, Ah Zhen glanced at the group of officials, old and young, and said in a deep voice, "Jiangnan is in chaos. As soon as I arrived in Shaozhou, I could smell the stench of Jiangnan. Cong transferred the left general, right general, left vanguard, right vanguard, cavalry battalion, Huhui to guard Huainan, and then ordered the generals to conquer the east, conquer the west, conquer the south, and conquer the north to guard Jingzhou. I dare to bring my cronies to you Jiangnan, you Jiangnan are really amazing." He said, gesturing to the group of mighty seals.

Everyone has seen this group of ghost-like seals for a long time, and now they hear that Da Sima has placed many soldiers and horses in Huainan, Jingnan and other places, and their hearts can't help jumping. It turns out that Da Sima has never been found. He is going to dispatch troops up.But I didn't hear any reports that there were soldiers pressing down on these two places.

Ah Zhen looked at these rebellious officials and thieves, and said with a sinister smile: "I know everything about you, including what you did in Leizhou."

More than half of the officials in this statement suddenly took a deep breath. It seems that Da Sima really has soldiers, otherwise how dare he step in after knowing about the Leizhou incident, and even showed up, and Wang Yong wanted to kill him. I also know.

"Wang Yong, a rebellious minister, this Sima will definitely destroy his entire family. None of you want to be like him. Now if this Sima doesn't kill you, I will let you go." Ah Zhen shouted loudly, staring at these officials with tiger eyes , Everyone didn't dare to say anything, since they came, they heard that Xiaosi dared to leave.

Ah Zhen looked at the group of people with a smile, and slowly sat back in his seat and said: "Maybe I don't have soldiers, and I scare you that you have soldiers. You can go back and try to transfer troops. If you don't try, you will be afraid." After finishing speaking Holding up the teacup, the group drank tea leisurely, shouting in their hearts, empty city plan, empty city plan.

Liu Fengyang and the others stood behind him listening to what he said, their palms were sweating non-stop, how did Brother Zhen reveal it by himself, if they turned their hearts hard, it would be a disaster.

"All the civilian officials of the scientific examination went back to prepare. I will go to the prison in person tomorrow. The others kneel down for me." Seeing that they did not respond, Ah Zhen yelled loudly.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they heard this, and they quickly knelt down on the ground, Da Sima definitely has soldiers, seeing how peaceful and content he is, he can still sit in Nanwei, with no fear.How could it be possible to have no soldiers with such an imposing manner? Can a person who has no soldiers not panic if he knows that he is going to kill him?
