Chapter 215 Hope
"Xiangyu..." Zhu Jun looked at it again and again, it was OK, it was Xiangyu.
Xiangyu supported her son, raised her head, and saw this place. There were nineteen people in this group, and it was hard to avoid attracting attention. Seeing Zhu Jun staring at her, her face changed drastically. She immediately picked up her son and said to the maid: "Let's go."
Quan Er's eldest son also saw it and heard Zhu Jun murmuring Xiangyu. He turned out to be a member of the Zhu family. How could he not know Zhu Jun's secret love for Xiangyu? Xiangyu? Xiangyu doesn't matter, but there is another person behind her, the fan thief Song Ji.
Zhu Jun was still stupid, and Quan Er's eldest son immediately said to Lu Ping: "Lu Ping, protect everyone, I'll come when I go."
Crowded in the crowd and followed Xiangyu down.
Xiangyu did not have Song Ji's wisdom, but she knew it was not good, so she immediately returned home and found Song Ji and said, "Officials, it's not good. The Erlang from the Zhu family in Yanzhou also came to Qingzhou to watch the lanterns and saw me just now."
"What?"
"How did he come to Gyeongju to watch the lanterns?"
"I came to Qingzhou last winter. I heard that it was a nerd. The Zhu family put him in Wangjiazhai and read the book for a while. It worked and was second in the examination. However, the dad did not change, so there was an accident in Huachi. This was the little magistrate who wanted to thank the Zhu family for their kindness, and then placed him in Huachi County and followed the little magistrate to temper him."
"What should I do? There are so many people in their group, including men and women."
"Not good," Song Ji screamed.
He was not afraid of Zhu Jun, but was afraid of the disciples of Wang Ju's family. The eldest son of Quan Er and Lu Ping were deliberately selected by Zhu and Li families. He had outstanding martial arts and was quick to react. It seemed that the son of Fan Zi was not simple either. Otherwise, Wang Ju would not have taken in their family. I don't know what the young chief who only returned to the grandma clan would have.
This must be the little magistrate's younger brother and sister's fiancée who came to Huachi County to celebrate the New Year. Huachi County is a small county, so the little magistrate asked a family to come to Qingzhou to watch the lanterns.
He actually asked him to guess a rough idea in a short time.
"When you come back, is there anyone following you?"
"I don't know."
Song Ji walked around.
When Wang Ju first came to Qingzhou last year, the highest view of Wang Ju in the entire Qingzhou was not Wang Ju’s subordinates, but Song Ji. Even after three major victories were reported, the people of Qingzhou were shocked. Song Ji also took it for granted.
That year, he failed the exam many times and his family was in a downturn!
That year, in order to make a living, he had to join the position of Yu Feng, the leader of Weilin Village, as an aide.
That year, when he saw Xiangyu, he fell in love with her at first sight, but she was short of money. So under his instigation, Yu Feng and his men masked him and became a bee thief. He got a lot of wealth.
But at that time, he still thought that he was not appreciated by talent. He regarded himself as a high-ranking person, and even Yu Feng obeyed his advice.
But at this moment, because a thirteen-year-old boy appeared, the black bee thief was exposed. At that time, he was still thinking about the opportunity and went to Xixia with credit. Dongfang was not bright and the West was bright! However, because of this thirteen-year-old boy, the entire plan failed, and even more than one hundred subordinates were almost wiped out.
So when he heard the court let Wang Ju be the magistrate of Huachi County, he was so scared that his face looked like earth. Although it was Huachi County, not Anhua County.
So he tried his best to oppose the new private business. Of course, his prestige in the city of Gyeongju is still not high, and his opposition failed, so he kept silent. In fact, when it comes to income, after the new private business starts, his income increases.
He also knew that Wang Ju would not take the black bee thief of the past in his heart. Now Wang Ju, from time to time, even if he had the black bee thief of the past, he could pose any threat to Wang Ju, and maybe Wang Ju would lead the officers and soldiers to train.
He was not afraid of being exposed. He used to be low-key in Yanzhou. Apart from the officers and soldiers of Linzhai, few Yanzhou locals knew him. As for the remaining officers and soldiers of Linzhai, could the court still put them in Shaanxi?
What he was worried about was that his wife would be exposed, after all, Xiangyu was the top star in Yanzhou back then.
Therefore, it is better to go out less often, but this is Lantern Festival, so how can you bear to lock your wife up at home? But the more you fear something will happen, the more you will be.
After walking for a long time, he said, "No, let's leave immediately."
"Leave immediately?" Xiangyu said. Song Ji is not the original Song Ji, but has also bought some property in Qingzhou. The loss of this departure is quite large.
"You can't underestimate the little magistrate, saying that Sun Mian is the killer, and this little magistrate is the real killer. Don't talk about us, even those Fanzi, who dares to shout loudly in front of him? Do you know how he tried those bandits in Ziwu Mountain? He was asking, and he had to answer immediately, otherwise he would behead his head on the spot. As a result, he found out the confession he wanted, and he still beheaded all the bandits. And he himself took action. Look at the prisoners of war, although they were not killed, that person was not as good as death!"
"So where do we escape?"
Song Ji walked around again, it was really hard to escape. He could escape. There was not only Qingzhou, a place where people could live in the world. There were many places in Shaanxi, such as Qinzhou and Weizhou. Of course, it was difficult to go in the inland. Although there were many migrant populations in various inland cities, they did not stay, but stayed forever, and were not safe in the inland. Only in the border areas, the members of the trip were more complicated, and officials were mainly quiet and were unwilling to do more trouble, so they could stay forever.
However, Wang Ju is an official now. Although his official position is small, he is scheming and irresponsible, and he is very vengeful. Once he learns that he is Song Ji from the Linzhai, God knows how he deals with him?
After the failure of that treasure case, he was really scared.
And unlike when he was hiding in Weilin Village before, he came to Qingzhou and made public appearances, and met many merchants and peddlers. In turn, these merchants and peddlers also knew him. Maybe he could meet these people even if he was hiding in Qinzhou. Or he fled to the hot Lingnan area?
Song Ji paced back and forth again, suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, "Let's escape to Xixia."
"If the official, if he can escape, he would have escaped long ago." Xiangyu said. If he made meritorious service, then go over. If he did not make meritorious service, he was just an ordinary person and a Han man. He was barbaric and poor. It would be better to think about other ways.
"It turned out to be difficult to get over it. But now it's a little different. There is a Shizi named Jing Xun in Yanzhou who serves as a clerk in Yanzhou. Last year, Cheng Kan wanted to arrest him, so he could find out in advance and flee to Xixia immediately. When he heard that he was on the other side of the mountain, he was immediately awarded the position of bachelor by the king of Xixia."
“Bachelor?”
In the Song Dynasty, every bachelor's title was very noble. Needless to say, the Hanlin Bachelor's degree was a two-system official. There are also grandmasters, bachelors, and direct bachelors, all of which are honorary officials. If you are not an important official, you should not think of this kid. Don't mention a bachelor's degree, even if it is a attendant, you will be a two-system official, and the two low-level kids, the ranks of the ranks, will be immediately noble.
Song Ji said: "The official positions in Xixia are slightly different from those in the Song Dynasty. The scholars there are not as noble as those in the Song Dynasty, but they are OK. But have you ever thought about it? If Jing Xun continues to stay in the Song Dynasty, don't talk about scholars. Even a master of the throne cannot do it."
Jingxun went to Xixia last year, but it didn't take long.
If you escape, run away. There are very few people who are not afraid of death. What should I do to survive? But this guy fled and immediately sacrificed his life to Xixia. He served as a clerk in Yanzhou for a long time and knew the situation in Yanzhou. So he personally took Xixia scouts to investigate the facts of various forts and villages on the border of the Song Dynasty day and night. After hearing this, Zhao Shu was furious and issued an edict at the end of the year to arrest Jing Xun's wife and children, and sent his son to the prison city. His wife was appointed as a military prostitute, and he would never be pardoned.
This is also a disadvantage to punishing Zhang Yuan’s family.
Zhang Yuan fled to Xixia and persuaded Li Yuanhao to establish the country. The Song Dynasty's monarch and ministers regretted it. This was a talent, so he found a way to recruit and treat his family well, hoping that Zhang Yuan would turn back, but Zhang Yuan was better, but he became even worse and he secretly took his family from the Song Dynasty to Xixia.
Therefore, at that time, the court treated Zhang Yuan's family well and became a huge joke in the hearts of the people.
However, Song Ji was not sure about this edict, otherwise he would have been hesitant. The Song Dynasty's laws were not liked to be implicated, so Song Ji committed the crime and the court did not touch Song Ji's family.
But Zhao Shu's edict means that as long as Song Ji fled to Xixia, his family behind him would be in tragedy, including his brother and his old mother.
Li Liangzuo did this with his intention. Not only did he treat Jing Xun well, but he captured Su Li, a Han scholar when he was plundering Chunfeng Road, and immediately granted him official positions. It was not because he liked the literati of the Song Dynasty, but because these literati were well-read and had a higher vision than ordinary people. At the same time, they grew up on the border and were familiar with the geographical environment of the border. At the same time, a higher vision also meant that they could see more things. Therefore, using a literati should be used to avoid countless scouts!
Moreover, this Jingxun also made Zhao Shu feel insulted on New Year's Day this year.
Last year, the plundering was carried out, regardless of victory or defeat, and the Western Xia Dynasty still sent envoys to celebrate New Year's Day.
It’s not that the Xixia is polite, but that they still want to continue to get the benefits of the annual gift and the mutual market.
Then the envoy said: "Your Majesty, there were some remnants on the border last year who wanted to destroy Song Xia's relationship, and brought some stings across the border to plunder the foreigners. After the king learned about it, he killed all these people. However, those ordinary people were innocent, and I hope Your Majesty will release them for the sake of Song Xia's reconciliation."
Zhao Shu had not seen what Wang Ju said at this time, so he remained silent.
He heard about the prisoners of war, of course he was also very angry, but what should I do? Will Bai Qi and Xue Rengui kill prisoners of war? Release is bound to be released, and he also heard that Wang Ju tortured those prisoners of war very much.
However, he was a little unwilling to let it go back like this. However, he also considered another thing. If Xixia is angered and invaded on a large scale, it might turn into a war disaster during the Qingli period. What's bad is that the economy was so tense last year.
Finally he said: "I can agree, but last year, Jingxun, Yanzhou, committed a death sentence and fled to you Xixia. Please return Jingxun to our Song Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, this minister dare not make decisions, but I have heard about the situation of Master Jing. His death penalty was wrong. Besides, he is now a scholar of our country, a minister of the country of Xia. How can he return it? Just like the unhidden remnant Wang Wenliang defected to Yanzhou. Has the king ever asked Your Majesty for it? It's nothing else, but for the sake of reconciliation between the two countries. If Your Majesty is kind, he should send Master Jing's family to Youzhou, so that the border between the two countries will be safe."
Not only did he not agree to return Jing Xun, he asked Jing Xun's family for him.
This is not important, what is important is the implication. It can only last long if you send the borders between the two countries. But if you don't send it, wouldn't the borders between the two countries be uneasy?
Zhao Shu was very unhappy.
However, there were many ministers in the Song Dynasty who were afraid of death. We cannot blame the Western Xia envoy for being arrogant, because they have the confidence.
After the third battle, Li Liangzuo was indeed confused and immediately issued an edict to withdraw his troops and return.
However, Xixia attached more importance to intelligence. When winter came, the truth was revealed. Only soldiers from Huachi County were sent out. Sun Mian, the governor of Qingzhou, ordered the three armies to remain unmoved. The reason for his defeat was that the two plundered soldiers were careless, which made the officers and soldiers of Huachi County succeed.
This is the real Song Dynasty, the weak and cowardly Song Dynasty.
No matter how strong a small county magistrate is, what is the use of nonsense?
Zhao Shu was speechless in anger.
But the biggest weirdness of the Song Dynasty appeared. When it comes to talking about wrong reasons, there are many ministers who can talk about fallacies in the Song Dynasty. Some capable people almost talk about dead people as living people. However, they are very knowledgeable in talking about fallacies in the inside, but when they go to the outside, they immediately become mute and can't tell any truth.
After Zhao Shu had a brief conversation with the Western Xia envoy, Zhao Shu immediately received many letters. From a military perspective, people's livelihood, economic perspective, and humanitarian perspective... the prisoners of war should be put back. Some even advised Zhao Shu to give Jing Xun's family to the people of Xixia to reunite with Jing Xun's family.
Zhao Shu was awake later and certainly could not agree. It was not to reunite Jing Xun's family, but to encourage more traitors in the Song Dynasty. However, he was indeed afraid of angering Xixia, so he issued an edict to Qingzhou to make Wang Ju prepare to release the prisoners of war.
Zhao Shu is a ruthless person, he is the real person with a narrow mind. Even though he issued an edict, the humiliation in his heart can be imagined.
Song Ji didn't know about these news even more.
He also didn't know how talented Jingxun was. However, he was still a little confident in himself. Jingxun could be a bachelor's degree, and I could be a bachelor's degree even if I was doing well.
Thinking of this, Song Ji said firmly again: "Yes, let's go to Xixia immediately. That's the country that values talents and the place of hope..." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
