Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 700 Xin Shi and Ren Zhiliang
On the official road leading from Jingzhao Mansion to Xiazhou, among a caravan, Xin Shi sat in a carriage with longing on his face and a touch of uneasiness in his eyes, but deep down in his heart was something he had never felt before. Relax and delight.This kind of relaxation and joy of getting out of the cage after unloading the burden has been there since he left the lifeless palace in Kaifeng more than ten days ago.Longing is naturally the expectation and longing for the future life, but the uneasiness is because he, the deepest secret hidden in the Song Palace, was exposed in advance, and he was worried that King Xiangfu would be displeased.

More than three months ago, after Ye Chen quietly put the letter in the Imperial Study Room of the Song Dynasty Palace, the eunuch Xin Shi, who was lurking in the Song Dynasty Palace, was finally exposed. The guards around Zhao Dezhao were not the result of Song Weifu, which was established by Song Weifu after the Huaxia Weifu, but the result of Zhao Dezhao's own crooked actions.

Because of the fact that the letter Ye Chen gave him appeared in the royal study, Zhao Dezhao set off a new massacre in the palace again, and he made improvements on the basis of the original beheading and then burning the corpses --- all those whom he thought were Ye Chen Chen's Anzi or Zhao Guangyi's remnants were all burned to death.

One day, Zhao Dezhao saw Xin Shi who was already at the top of the group of eunuchs. For some reason, he remembered that Xin Shi and the rebel Wang Ji'en had been very close back then.Then he suspected that Xin Shi was the remnant of Zhao Guangyi, and ordered people to catch Xin Shi and burn him alive.This kind of thing happened every few days in the Song Dynasty Palace, and Xin Shi was also regarded by many people inside and outside the palace as one of the eunuchs who died in vain.

However, Ye Chen had already expected that Xin Shi would be exposed sooner or later, and had already arranged for Xin Shi to retreat.Therefore, as soon as Xin Shi was sent to the crematorium behind the palace, Shiwa got the news and started to rescue him. Finally, after paying a certain price, he rescued Xin Shi by stealing the beam.After Ye Chen got the news from Shiwa, he ordered Xin Shi to be sent to Xiazhou in the northwest.

And two hundred miles away after Xin Shi, in another convoy, Ren Zhiliang also sat in the carriage with a complicated face, looking at the roadside scenery in the northwest that is much more desolate than the Central Plains and Jiangnan, and couldn't help thinking about what to do after arriving in the northwest Facing Xiangfu King.

"I heard that King Xiangfu is going to establish a country. There must be a lack of many talents at the beginning of the founding of the country. I should still have some weight in King Xiangfu's heart!" Ren Zhiliang muttered to himself.

Ren Zhiliang has been an official in Kaifeng since the founding of the Song Dynasty, and he is recognized as the No. 1 criminal department in the Song Dynasty.Later, after becoming the deputy envoy of the Procuratorate of Huaxia Weifu, although he was still Zhao Guangyi's confidant and worked for Zhao Guangyi, his ability was obvious to all.After Zhao Guangyi's death, Ren Zhiliang disappeared and fled. Last month, Liu Jinyuan, the Secretary of the Southern Mansion, accidentally found him in Jiangnan, captured him, and reported him to Ye Chen. Ye Chen ordered Ren Zhiliang to be kidnapped and sent to the northwest.

As Ren Zhiliang deduced, Ye Chen's founding of the country was imminent, and it was a time when talents from all walks of life were in short supply. It was indeed what Ye Chen thought in his heart to recruit a talent like Ren Zhiliang who had nowhere to go.

On the country road, under the cold wind, a yellow cow slowly ate the withered grass on the wasteland, the whip on its back was crackling, but it only shook its tail and did not move a bit.

The cardamom girl waving the whip shouted: "If you don't leave, I will cut you up with a knife and eat you up!"

While scolding the cow, the extremely pleasant giggles sounded, but several people approached.It was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl who was laughing.The skirt is elegant, wrapping her tall figure, but the corners of the skirt are only below her knees, her almond eyes are as bright as stars and moons, and she has a unique charm at a young age, she is so beautiful when she smiles, the six teenagers beside her The man stared at the girl's flowery smiling face already fascinated, dumbfounded.

The girl driving the cow couldn't see so much, her eyes fell on the other party first, the other party was luxurious and gorgeous compared with her in a dark gray cloth, wrapped in a headkerchief, it really felt like a phoenix and a crow standing side by side.

Looking at the girl's face again, she has beautiful eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and an incomparably charming smile. The cow-driving girl was even more ashamed of herself and subconsciously lowered her head, but she immediately recognized the woman and quickly saluted her. She said obediently: "I have met Miss Shui'er."

"Hey! I remember that you are the Qiang girl who is in charge of taking care of that idiot Kou Zhun's daily life. Why do you come here to herd cattle?"

Shui'er's voice was crisp and sweet, with a strange rhythm and taste. The teenagers who were traveling with him squinted their eyes slightly, with a look of intoxication and enjoyment on their faces.

But after the cow driving girl heard this, she was extremely ashamed and wronged to the extreme, her clear eyes were filled with mist, obviously thinking of something that made her extremely wronged and ashamed.

"Master, he bullies people." The cow-driving girl said sobbing.

When Shui'er heard this, his face turned cold, and he gritted his teeth and cursed secretly: "I've only been away for a few days, and this idiot dares to steal food."

But he said: "Why did that idiot bully you?"

The cow-driving girl said aggrievedly: "People in the whole town selected me to serve you, but you didn't let me serve him, only let me cook, but it was the first time I cooked, and after eating, you spit it out. And from then on, not only did I not be allowed to cook, but she also cooked for me. As a result, this matter spread to the village, and everyone said I was stupid and blamed me. My mother could not hold her head up in the town. My father beat me, everyone ignored me and blamed me, I was the only one who came out to herd the cows. Woooooo..."

In the end, the girl who drove the cow became more and more wronged, and the tears in her big bright eyes were like pearls off the line, continuously flowing down her pretty little face.

The girl driving the cow unconsciously slapped the whip on the back of the bull while talking, and was about to say something, but the cow let out a cry and then ran away. The girl driving the cow became anxious and shouted: "Ah! My cow , don't run!"

The whip was so heavy that the old cow ran away mooing and hoofing, and the girl driving the cow stomped her feet angrily.

"You idiots, why don't you help chase the cows." Shui'er said with a slight frown.

These teenagers who were admiring the water from the side were stunned for a moment, and then rushed to catch up with the old scalper.These teenagers are the children of officials in Lingzhou City under the rule of Ye Chen. Most of them are scholars. They have never chased any cows.

Shui'er was bored by Kou Zhun's side, so Kou Zhun asked her to go to Lingzhou to find the magistrate of Lingzhou and ask for some civil servants to come over. Lingzhou officials naturally knew the identities of Kou Zhun and Shui'er, and thought it was a good opportunity , they sent their own sons over one after another. At first, some second-generation officials were not willing to come over, but after seeing Shui'er, they were fascinated and followed them.

In the end, the cow was overtaken by the girl driving the cow herself, and the second generation of Lingzhou officials also ran out of breath one by one, and crowded around Shui'er again.The current prefect of Lingzhou is named Dai Zhongchao, and he stayed on after the original prefect of Lingzhou took refuge in Ye Chen.The leader of this group of second-generation officials is Dai Liwen, the eldest son of Dai Zhongchao. He is already 22 years old. ………”

Shanshen Town was built next to a small river in the south of Lingzhou, and it was established on the basis of several barren villages.

Along the sides of the river bank.It is not long after the wasteland was burned, and it is a large new field waiting for the next spring to be deeply plowed.Looking to the south, you can vaguely see a large area of ​​houses, which is the newly established Shanshen Town, which is directly under the jurisdiction of Lingzhou in the north.

Leaning on a poplar tree, watching them go to Shanshen Town, the girl of the Qiang people was a little lost, holding her cow tightly, and muttering in a low voice: "Everyone in the clan wants me to marry you, but Miss Shui'er So beautiful, the young master is not tempted, like a wooden man, how could he like me, and the rice I cook does not like the young master..."

The center of Shanshen Town is a small courtyard with a long two-story wooden building inside. Two Huaxia Guards stood under the wooden building. After Dai Liwen and the others recognized the identities of the two Huaxia Guards from their clothes, their expressions changed slightly. There is an undisguised fear and unnaturalness in it.In today's world, Huaxia Weifu's name together with the auspicious talisman king Ye Chen's name has shocked the world, especially the spies and killers of Huaxia Weifu, which made many people's expressions change.Ordinary people don't know the distinction in the Huaxia Weifu, they are all referred to as Huaxia Wei, and now these teenagers are unprepared to see the legendary Huaxia Wei, and it still has a great impact on them in an instant.Especially when the two Huaxia guards looked at them coldly, the timid one even had weak legs.

Ye Chen sent ten Huaxia Guards to serve as Kou Zhun's guards. These ten people were not ordinary Huaxia Guards, but all Huaxia Golden Guards. Not only was their strength at the second-rate level, but the most important thing was that they all came from the mountain of corpses. The cold murderous aura and indifferent gaze accumulated over the years of the people killed in the sea are indeed not something these young masters who have never touched their hands can bear.Fortunately, when the two Huaxia guards saw Shui'er in the crowd, they saluted Shui'er with their knife handles in both hands, and then looked away.This made all the teenagers heave a sigh of relief, and then followed Shui'er into the room without saying a word.

On the second floor, Kou Zhun saw Shui'er coming back so soon, and said in surprise: "Junior Sister, why did you come back so early... Who are these?"

"Greetings to Mr. Kou. I'm Dai Liwen!"

"Greetings to Mr. Kou, I'm Liu Daoxin!"

.........

.........

Seeing Kou Zhun, the three youths and the three teenagers hurriedly looked away from Shui'er regardless of what they were thinking, and bowed their hands first.

Kou Zhun was startled for a moment, then returned the salute meticulously, and said, "Could it be that you are the civil servants assigned by the prefect Dai?"

Dai Liwen and others were a little embarrassed, but in the end Dai Liwen said on behalf of everyone: "Young Master Kou Mingjian, we are the clerks sent by my father to help Young Master Kou."
