Tongzhou in the Song Dynasty, Shayuan Supervisor.

At this time, the morning sun was rising, casting golden light for thousands of miles. Thousands of horses galloped and roared in the Shayuan Prison.

The earth was shaking faintly, and dust filled the sky. Looking from a distance, I could see the herdsmen galloping vigorously on their horses, and their high and low shouts were carried by the wind from time to time. In a daze, it seemed like they were in the desert beyond the Great Wall.

Shayuanjian is a horse breeding land in the Song Dynasty. It is eighty miles from east to west and thirty miles from north to south. It reaches Weinan in the west and Tongguan in the south.

The Weihe River and Luoshui River flow from the east and west sides of Shayuanjian, and then merge into the Yellow River.

On the edge of the Wei River, there is a tall and straight poplar forest that stretches for more than ten miles. After passing through the forest, in a mountain depression in front of you, there is an earthen city. A rough estimate is that there are tens of thousands of families.

The houses in the city are scattered high and low, and the roads are criss-crossed. The streets are bustling with carts and loaders, and there is a lot of people. Restaurants, shops, restaurants, tiles, everything that should be found in a town is here.

The city is divided into north and south, with a small river about ten feet wide as the boundary. The north of the city is rich in water and oil, while the south of the city is poor and has no standing cones. There is a popular saying in the local area: Thunder strikes from the sky and strikes in Henan. If you sell your children and sell your daughters, you will live in Hebei.

This earthen city is the Dingguo Army, a group of Xiang troops who have raised horses for generations.

Taiping Mountain in the north of the city is full of green trees and deep sloping paths. Looking from a distance, it looks like a beauty lying prone.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a large complex of exquisite buildings. The independent houses are hidden among the trees, with white walls and green tiles, and overhanging eaves. They are well-proportioned. The paths paved with gravel are winding and interesting.

At this moment, in front of the gate of a house, a group of scholars were blocked, foaming at the mouth, and the crowd was full of emotions.

"Child Qin Zhong, he has slandered the gods and his body, and he will never be able to atone for his crime even if he dies."

"Shuzi, I want you to live in peace for thousands of years after your death."

"Qin Chong, get out of here."

...

The dark door was closed tightly, and no one answered at all. The soldiers who were originally on duty had long since disappeared. In the Song Dynasty, warriors had a fatal motto: Never mess with scholars. What's more, dozens of scholars, one by one,

The scholar wears a blue shirt, with angry eyes and a halberd pointed at him. A small soldier can naturally hide as far as he can.

The noise here attracted many people to watch. People watching the excitement asked around from time to time.

By the way, the Qin family is not an ordinary family, how can they be bullied like this? The owner of the Qin family, Qin Yutian, is an eighth-grade imperial martial arts captain and commander of the Xiaoqi camp. Under the orders of the imperial court, he has been stationed at Shayuan Prison for twelve years.

.

It seems that the official position from the eighth rank is not high, but the supervisor is only from the seventh rank. In the Shayuan Prison, Qin Yutian is a big shot and one of the few people at the top. Of course, the power cannot be determined by rank, especially in literary circles.

The Song Dynasty respected the military but not the military. Moreover, the Forbidden Army and the Shayuan Supervisor were not subordinate to each other, so Qin Yutian had no right to interfere with the affairs of the Shayuan Supervisor.

Even so, not everyone from the eighth-grade military attache would dare to swat a fly on a tiger's head.

However, the scholar is an exception, and no one can offend him. In a short time, more and more people are watching, and they gather together in twos and threes to talk, and it is not a big deal to watch the excitement.

"What happened? What happened? Why were the Qin family blocked?"

"Haven't heard yet? The three boys of the Qin family did something big in Dali County the day before yesterday."

"This boy has offended scholars so much."

"What did he do?"

"What's going on? There's a hole in the sky."

...

Qin Chong lay motionless on the bed. He had been comatose for two days and still hadn't woken up. On his exposed chest, there was a hideous wound slashed diagonally from his left shoulder to his right rib, and he was covered with dark ointment. Even in a coma, he looked very painful.

, holding the edge of the bed tightly with one hand, his face was pale, his brows were furrowed, and there were thin beads of sweat on his forehead.

The air is filled with the smell of herbs. The small room is very simply decorated, with a table, a stool, and a bed.

At this time, the door creaked and was gently pushed open a crack. Along the crack of the door, a little head poked in and looked inside with wide eyes. This was a twelve or thirteen year old.

The girl wore a bun with a double bun. Her brows were lively and childish. She saw the person lying on the bed clearly, frowned, and retracted her head.

"Second Miss, I haven't woken up yet." The girl whispered.

There was a woman standing in the courtyard, tall and graceful. She was Qin Muyao, the second young lady of the Qin family.

Although the Qin family has a small population, their relationship is relatively complicated.

In addition to his wife Jiang, Qin Yutian also had two concubines, one named Liu and one named Hou.

The eldest son Qin Xiao, nineteen years old, was born to the Liu family; the second daughter Qin Muyao, seventeen years old, was born to the Hou family; the third son Qin Chong, fifteen years old, was born to the Jiang family; the youngest daughter Qin Muling, seven years old, was born to the Jiang family.

From the Hou family.

Five years ago, Qin Chong's mother Jiang died of illness. Although Liu was not rehabilitated, she took over the power of the family.

The Liu family controlled the Qin family and regarded Qin Zhong as a thorn in their side, wishing to throw him out. However, Qin Chong was the legitimate son after all. In this era when legitimate sons and daughters were clearly distinguished, the Liu family did not dare to go too far. However, in recent months

, Qin Yutian was ordered to escort 500 war horses to Yanzhou on official business, but the Liu family became extremely bold.

"Alas." Qin Muyao sighed softly as she was worried.

He was seriously injured and dying, but he refused to treat him. This was because he wanted Qin Zhong's life. Qin Muyao felt cold in his heart and couldn't help but shudder. The entire Qin family seemed to ignore Qin. Ever since he was brought back, he had been thrown here.

Live and die on its own.

"Second Miss, let's go back quickly." The little maid on the side whispered nervously, "If Aunt Liu sees it, Second Miss will have to be scolded again, and this slave will also be punished."

"It's better to ask a doctor to take a look." Qin Muyao ignored the maid, turned around and walked out.

"Second Miss, where are you going?"

"Please call the doctor."

"No, many people came outside and blocked the door."

"Why?" Qin Muyao listened carefully, and there was indeed a noise outside the gate. She was too nervous just now and didn't hear it.

"It's not the third young master who caused the trouble." The little maid curled her lips and said.

"Huh?" Qin Muyao was confused. Is there any twists and turns in Qin Zhong's injury?

Qin Muyao didn't know that Qin Zhong's injuries seemed like retribution. At least, when the little maid heard the servants in the mansion talking about it, the most common thing they said was that the third young master had suffered retribution.

Two days ago, it was the Dragon Boat Festival, the fifth day of May.

Qin Chong took a young boy to Dali County. There was only ten miles from Shayuan Prison to the county seat.

The sky was very gloomy, as if it was going to rain. Even so, it could not stop the joy of the festival. The liveliness of the county town was far beyond that of Shayuan Prison. Every household smoked mugwort and drank calamus, and the streets were filled with the fragrance of mugwort.

The sight of all kinds of food makes people drool. There are jugglers, storytellers, and wrestlers. There are bursts of cheers from the house, making it very lively. Qin Zhong walked through the market and had a great time.

Comfortable.

This was a rare happy moment for him since his mother passed away. After the Dragon Boat Festival, it was his birthday. However, now except for himself, I am afraid no one will remember it. Today is the right time to celebrate his birthday.

"Does it look good?" Qin Chong picked up an Aihu'er and asked the boy.

"What's the point of looking good?" The boy said listlessly, "It doesn't even have a single coin."

Qin Chong's eyes dimmed, he leaned a little, and smiled nonchalantly. He, the legitimate son of the Qin family, was so ridiculous and pitiful that he couldn't even bring out a single coin when he went shopping. After a while, he would have to walk ten miles hungry. I went back home to eat. I didn’t know if I missed the meal. Is there anything left to eat?

After putting down Ai Hu'er, Qin Zhong was about to leave when he suddenly heard sharp cries coming from behind him.

Turning around, he saw Kuixing Tower not far away. A girl of thirteen or fourteen years old was dragged down the steps by her hair. The little girl held her head in her hands and cried hoarsely. Four or five A man dressed as a servant followed him cursing, looking arrogant and refusing to let strangers in.

At the top of the steps, two young men in brocade clothes were holding folding fans and looking at the crying girl with smiles. Kneeling at their feet was a man who looked like he was dressed as a scholar. However, at this time, he did not have the demeanor of a scholar. His face was full of panic, but The resident kowtowed and begged for mercy. The young master in Jinyi was unmoved and did not even look at him.

Kuixing Tower was originally lively, with people crowded upstairs and downstairs. Now that autumn is approaching, all the scholars go to the tower to worship in order to win the gold medal in high school. As someone showed off his evil intentions, there was a sudden silence up and down the Kuixing Tower, as if his body was suddenly frozen. Generally speaking, the look that looks at Mr. Jinyi is a mixture of disgust, fear, and anger.

Qin Chong couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly when he saw the young master in brocade clothes on the steps.

He recognized one of them, Yao Gang, the second son of Shayuan Supervisor Bo Yao Pingyuan.

Not only do they know each other, they are also classmates; not only are they classmates, they are also classmates who have a grudge against each other.

The two fathers were in Shayuan Prison together, but they were incompatible with each other, and they fought openly and secretly for many years. However, one of them was under the Qun Mu Division, and the other was under the Guards and Ma Jun Division, and no one could do anything to the other for a while. However, the two became friends. As a result of the enmity, the sons and nephews of the two families also became enemies and fought with each other endlessly.

The person Qin Chong hated the most was Yao Gang, and he wished he could beat him once in a while.

When Qin Chong was twelve years old, he unintentionally revealed his natural supernatural power. He picked up the more than 300 kilograms of stone lion in front of the Shayuan Prison and turned it around, shocking the entire Shayuan Prison.

At that time, Qin Yutian was so surprised that he personally selected masters from the army and taught Qin Chong martial arts.

As expected, Qin Chong had a talent for martial arts. He could learn fists, feet, spears and sticks, riding and shooting in one go. In just one year, he could shoot a three-stone hard bow and fire an arrow at fifty paces. A forty-pound iron spear, There seems to be no weight in his hands, and when he dances, he is really as delicate as a swimming dragon, and it is difficult to get in when splashing water. After a few more years of training, he will definitely be a fierce general.

It's just a pity that the seedling of such a fierce general was cut off by Qin Yutian.

The reason is that last spring, Qin Muyao was shopping with her little maid, and she happened to be bumped into by Yao Gang. Yao Gang didn't know her, so he just thought she was an ordinary girl, and he was very lustful. Qin Muyao was extremely beautiful, with fair skin, beautiful appearance, and even more revealing There was a faint smell of books. This color was completely different from the powder he usually saw.

Yao Gang was so shocked that he couldn't control himself and started to fight and fight on the street. Qin Muyao panicked and tried to escape, but was blocked by several servants laughing. Unknowingly, Qin Muyao and his servant were forced into a small street. The alley. When they saw that there was no one around them, they became more frightened and shouted for help urgently.

Seeing that he was about to succeed, Yao Gang laughed wildly and grabbed Qin Muyao. Suddenly, he felt someone grabbed him by the collar on the back of his neck. Before he could turn around, he felt a huge force hitting his right rib. In an instant,

, Yao Gang's internal organs seemed to explode, three souls escaped and two souls flew out screaming.

"Bang." Yao Gang's body hit a wall a few feet away and slid to the ground. His limbs twitched unconsciously and he fainted from the pain. Several servants had not recovered yet.

They were punched and kicked, their arms and legs were broken, and they all fell to the ground crying and howling, unable to get up at all.

However, Qin Chong arrived by chance, beat Yao Gang violently, and rescued Qin Muyao.

In the evening, the boss Yao Pingyuan came to discuss the matter and had a big quarrel with Qin Yutian.

Before leaving, he said with great disdain, "You are a vulgar martial artist, and you will be a vulgar martial artist even if you give birth to a son."
