On May 4th Youth Day, Yao Ran launched a revolutionary movement in the capital of the Song Dynasty more than 700 years ahead of schedule.

Leave a blood letter at the gate of the court.

Posters are covered with big characters in the streets and alleys.

It immediately made the capital uneasy.

Countless people were arrested and imprisoned, and countless officials were implicated and lost their official positions. The aftermaths were rippling for more than a month and still did not disappear. The notice of arresting the culprit was posted in many places in the dock of Yanggong Town. The prefectures and counties around Lin'an Prefecture were also in a panic, and police officers and soldiers were searching for bandit leaders and bandits who were plaguing the capital.

The movement led by Yao Ran eventually produced some changes that were different from historical records, that is, Ding Daquan did not succeed in becoming the Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor as he wished, and this errand was put on hold by the emperor for further discussion.

After the first successful foreign investment in Xiaolongwan Port, Yao Ran had not returned for a long time and Chen Ji was worried, so he went to the capital to inquire. Nearly twenty days passed in the blink of an eye. Today, they returned safely together. Zhao Qi was naturally very happy and excited.

Zhao Qi hurried back to the broken kiln, and Chen Ji and Yao Ran were also standing at the entrance of the cave full of wood and stone materials to see each other. It was not until Zhao Qi appeared that he was surprised and excited to meet him.

"Brother Zhao!"

"The two brothers are finally back!"

The three of them hugged each other warmly by the small pond like the Red Army meeting in Jinggangshan.

Zhao Qi felt relieved: "The two brothers have not been sent, which really makes me worried!"

"I'm so ashamed that I almost showed my strength this time!" Yao Ran shook his head with a little embarrassed look.

"Haha, I'm also saying that it's better to come back. You don't know. The news came, which scared Brother Chen and me, and I couldn't eat or sleep. I was afraid that you would be arrested by Ding Qingpi and tortured. When I came back today, I finally could sleep well!" Zhao Qi hugged Yao Ran's shoulder and laughed happily.

"It's Yao Ran's fault that makes Brother Zhao feel scared!"

"Not mentioning this, the weather is hot, so I go to the cave to have tea first. I also want to hear how Brother Yao is a lone hero when he goes out, and goes deep into the dragon and tiger den to make the capital uneasy!"

"Haha, Brother Zhao is right. Isn't the capital located in the dragon's and tiger's den?"

The three of them talked and laughed, and sat down in the pergola.

Xiaozhu took a group of children to the next door to help the construction team bring tea and pour water. Only Mrs. Su and A Lian were boiling water to clean the tea sets in the cave.

Zhao Qi has told Old Lady Su that although Old Lady Su seems to be indifferent as always, Zhao Qi knows that Old Lady Su has actually always been concerned about the trends of the Headquarters.

Moreover, Old Lady Su had no good feelings for the court, so Zhao Qi did not hide many things from her, and there was no taboo in chatting with Yao Ran and Chen Ji in the cave. As for A Lian, this hardworking and kind woman could only work silently, and never asked about Zhao Qi. She washed clothes and cooked food, cleaned the cave room, planted vegetables and fed chickens, took care of Old Lady Su, Xiao Zhu and Baoer, and was always busy every day and had almost never had time to do anything.

But under such busyness, Zhao Qi could also clearly feel her happiness. At any time, her face was filled with a happy smile and the liveliness that a young woman should have. Sometimes she would hum some songs circulating among the southern folk.

"Brother Yao, the matter in the capital has been in full swing. Tell me how you did it?" As soon as I sat down, Zhao Qi couldn't wait to ask.

The story of leaving the words in the Chaomen was a unsolved case in the late Southern Song Dynasty. The murderer was not found from beginning to end, and he didn't even know the time and method of committing the crime. Therefore, Zhao Qi was very curious about how Yao Ran did it.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Brother Zhao, and it's not thrilling at all. It's the method that Brother Zhao teaches!" Yao Ran shook his head slightly with a little red face.

"What I taught?" Zhao Qi was a little confused.

"Yes, Brother Zhao once said that money can make the devil push the mill. I didn't dare to be too arrogant when I went to the capital. So I used some money and someone did it."

"It's that simple?" Zhao Qi's eyes almost fell out in surprise.

"It's that simple, it's actually not complicated at all. It cost 200 taels of silver to leave words to the gate, and it cost only about 30 knots of money to post tabloids in the streets and alleys." Yao Ran nodded.

"You spent that 200 taels of money?" Zhao Qi came back to his senses and asked in surprise.

"Yes, there are some money that Brother Zhao entrusted us to go to the county degree water to find a way. You gave you 150 guan, but I took it to the capital together before I spent it. I took it without complaint. I really had no face to see Brother Zhao!" Yao Ran said in shame.

"What do you say about just a few dozen guan? Our harbor has made millions of guan. My money is the money of my two brothers, so spend it whatever you want!" Zhao Qi waved his hand with a smile.

"Millions of coins? So much?" Not only Chen Ji was surprised, Yao Ran was so wide that he could stuff a big duck egg into it.

"Not too much, no more, no more!" Zhao Qi shook his head and showed a very beating smile, "Our planner, Brother Chen, knows that this is just a down payment. After a year, the money will become millions of coins!"

"Brother Zhao, tell me how your Xiaolongwan Harbor was planned. Brother Chen also said something on the way, but I always felt that I was not satisfied with it. I always felt that there were many details in it. Moreover, when I left, you planned to just buy a piece of land and repair a warehouse. In a blink of an eye, you actually made such a big deal!" Yao Ran asked excitedly.

"There is no hurry to do this. Brother Yao should first talk about your affairs in the capital. I am more interested in these things than doing business!" Zhao Qi was interested in them differently.

"Since Brother Zhao wants to know, I will explain it in detail. In fact, there is really nothing thrilling. As for the lone hero, I really feel ashamed. Brother Chen and I said goodbye in Yin County that day and took a boat to Hangzhou..."

Yao Ran was good at speaking and had good eloquence. He carefully explained the process of starting from Yin County to escaping from the capital.

Things were indeed as Yao Ran said. This time, the May Fourth Movement that caused the capital to be turbulent, was not complicated. After he arrived at the capital, he did not dare to find someone he knew. After wandering around the capital for a few days, he found an underground black market. After someone introduced him to a gang leader who was said to be omnipotent in the capital. He said that as long as he dared to leave Yan Martin on the court, he would give him 100 taels of silver. This person was shocked, but after careful consideration, he said that although he was in the world, he had long been very indignant of Ding Daquan's rebellion. However, if he could add another 100 taels, he would be willing to help find someone to complete this impossible task.

Yao Ran did not hesitate too much because the matter had been said, which was a transaction that could only be made but not returned. Yao Ran readily paid a deposit of 100 taels of silver, saying that the other 100 taels of silver would be paid after the matter was completed, so the sale agreement was reached.

A few days later, Xingshou found Yao Ran and informed him that the matter should be done. On the night of May 4th, someone would go to the court gate to write these eight words. Yao Ran also took advantage of these days to hide in a corner of the capital and secretly wrote hundreds of tabloids that exposed Ding Daquan and the other two masters gave Xingshou thirty cents of money and asked him to find someone to post these tabloids in the streets and alleys of the capital. Xingshou did not refuse.

So in the early morning of May 4, a major case that caused a sensation in the capital suddenly broke out.

The eight words left by the Chaomen were not written in blood, but were just vermilion lacquer. Moreover, because time was rushed, the writer overturned the gourd containing paint when he ran away, causing the entire Chaomen to be spilled with vermilion lacquer everywhere. The eunuch who went to open the door to clean in the morning found out that he mistakenly thought that it was human blood reporting to the emperor, so a story of bloody words in the Chaomen spread.

At the same time, the patrolling imperial guards also discovered handwritten tabloids posted all over the streets and alleys during the turmoil among the people, adding another mystery and fear to the big case.

These two things were superimposed together, and the target was clear, which immediately caused the entire capital to be in turmoil. The emperor who received the news was frightened and furious in the Qinzheng Hall. Soon all kinds of edicts were handed over like snowflakes, including officials at Da Nei, Shufu, Sansi, Censor, Taiyuan, Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, etc., were all mobilized as if they were chased by dogs. A large number of imperial guards and police officers came out everywhere, holding orders to take people everywhere. For a moment, the entire capital was in panic, and the people were hiding in panic. A large number of students, merchants, passengers and other travelers gathered in the capital, fled from the capital like bombing a nest in horror.

The Great Song Dynasty capital has always been curfew at night, and there is no single guard on duty in the four gates. No one would have thought that such a bad incident would suddenly occur in the peaceful and peaceful capital. For a moment, officials at all levels were panicked, and various arrests and investigations were also in chaos.

In order to complete the final transaction with the head of the underworld, Yao Ran also wanted to see if the emperor would dismiss Ding Daquan after he did so, so he hid in the capital for two days, and it was these two days that almost left him in prison.

Two days later, the capital became more and more chaotic, and there was no news that the emperor had dismissed Ding Daquan. However, many censors in the court began to impeach Ding Daquan, and the emperor temporarily pressed the decision to promote Ding Daquan as deputy envoy of the Privy Council. Ding Daquan was furious and secretly ordered the various yamen to step up the search for the culprit who framed him. At this time, the atmosphere in the capital became more and more tense, and Yao Ran became more and more frightened, fearing that the person who had arranged the order would be arrested and implicated him, so he also planned to leave Hangzhou.

But it was too late at this time. After two days of search, the four gates of the capital had been guarded by the imperial guards, and the officials and constables searched everywhere for suspicious people. Because Yao Ran returned to the capital secretly, he did not inform some of the Guangzhou classmates and Taixue accomplices who were still in the capital. He was afraid of being recognized by acquaintances, so he acted a little naughty in wearing a straw hat. He was stopped by the imperial guards who were intercepted and prepared to be suspicious to be thrown into prison.

However, Ding Daquan happened to hold a banquet that was awarded the Danyang County Duke. After the banquet was ruined, not only all the guests left in shame, but a group of monks who invited to recite scriptures for the banquet could only return to the mountain gate temple.

At that time, a group of monks of all sizes came out of the city to return to the mountain gate. Yao Ran was struggling and shouted that he was the candidate of Yanggong Town, Qingyuan Prefecture. He immediately attracted the attention of a young monk. He stepped forward to ask if he knew Zhao Dalang from Maowan Village near Yanggong Town. Yao Ran felt as if he had caught a life-saving straw and nodded quickly to express his understanding. He also claimed that he and Zhao Dalang were brothers of life and death of friends of eight worshipers. In order to make the young monk believe it, he also said that Zhao Qi's family lived in a broken kiln. He was crazy before and was smashed by the statue of the mountain god, and even described his height and appearance.

After hearing this, the young monk explained to the imperial guards that Yao Ran was indeed the son of Yanggong Town and was not a suspicious person. When the imperial guards saw the monk from Lingyin Temple testifying, they did not make things too difficult for him to let him out of the city.

After leaving the city, the little monk invited Yao Ran to stay in Lingyin Temple for a few days. Yao Ran thought that the people around the capital and nearby prefectures must be panic, so he agreed to follow a group of monks to Lingyin Temple. He stayed for more than ten days. It was not until the tense atmosphere in the capital gradually calmed down that he went down the mountain to find out the news. While the Taixue was having tea and chatting with several townsmen, he happened to meet Chen Ji and came to Taixue to find out his whereabouts. Only then did the two meet.

Yao Ran sighed and wiped the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear: "Fortunately, I met the young monk with tender skin, otherwise Yao wouldn't have come back this time!"

Chen Ji nodded with fear: "Brother Yao is indeed very risky this time. He should listen to Brother Zhao and leave the capital immediately when he sees things are done. It is useless to stay for two more days, but it will add a lot of danger!"

Zhao Qi also looked at Yao Ran with a black look. This guy is indeed a scholar. Although he doesn't look pedantic on weekdays, he is actually very pedantic in his bones. He even dares to stay and watch the fun of such a head-losing thing. Shouldn't he run away after finishing it? If Yao Ran had run away early the next morning, he might have returned to Yanggong Town long ago.

If Zhao Qi did this matter himself, he would probably have left the city that night. Such a sensational case across the country would not require staying in the city at all. As long as it happens, it will definitely spread around the capital in an instant.

"Yes, Brother Chen said very well. I was really too careless!" Yao Ran nodded and admitted his mistake, then looked up at Zhao Qi, "Brother Zhao has never been to Lingyin Temple, why did he know a little monk? I spent a few days with him and found out that the little monk was actually the closed disciple of Master Yuantong, the abbot of Lingyin Temple."

"I just woke up a month ago. I thought that a young monk who claimed to be Lingyin Temple came to Lingyin Temple in Putuo Mountain to deliver a letter. I recited the scriptures in this broken kiln that day..."

Zhao Qi briefly said the matter that day and nodded with a smile, "If it's good, I'll only know one monk now, and it should be him!"

"It seems that Brother Zhao is indeed a lucky person. If I hadn't had this chance encounter, I would have been in trouble this time, and I might not have seen two of you!" Yao Ran was very moved.

"The two distinguished guests were negligent and came from afar to drink a cup of tea to relieve their fatigue!"

Just as the three of them were talking, Old Mrs. Su came over with a crutch, A Lian followed behind, with three cups of steaming tea in the tea tray.

"I just heard you talk about Lingyin Temple. Could it be that Mr. Yao went to Hangzhou this time to go out?" Old Mrs. Su put three cups of tea in front of the three of them and asked with a kind smile on his face.

"That's right, I went to Hangzhou this time and lived in Lingyin Temple for half a month. I also met a brother Zhao's old friend!" Yao Ran stood up and thanked him and said with a smile.

"Qi'er has never been to Lingyin Temple. How can she recognize the monk from Lingyin Temple?" Old Mrs. Su was surprised.

"Grandma, Brother Yao is talking about the little monk who came to our house last time. You were planning to donate a piece of gold at that time. Did you forget?"

Zhao Qi had reminded me, and Old Lady Su suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It turns out to be that little master. I have seen him. He is white and tender and kind-hearted. He is a blessed person at first glance. I have been to Lingyin Temple when I was young. There are many great monks who want to go and worship more!"

"The old lady is also a blessed person. Brother Zhao is now at a time to make great achievements. After the harbor is repaired, your family will have wealth that is as rich as the country. In the future, it will inevitably be enjoyed and enjoyed endlessly!" Yao Ran said with a smile.

"Yes, it's only when Qi'er gets help from the two juren to get things done so well. Qi'er thanks so much for both gentlemen!" Old Mrs. Su couldn't stop smiling.

"Grandma, it's hot, so Sister A Lian and you sit down and have a cup of tea to rest. I'll take my two brothers to the harbor construction site later. We won't come back to have dinner in the evening, you can eat at home!"

"What are you going to rest? The old lady has no work all day long. You can go to work hard, don't worry about us!" Old lady Su waved her hand, A Lian also packed up the tea tray and helped Old lady Su leave.

Chen Ji held the teacup and took his eyes back from A Lian's body, and said with a slightly weird look: "I haven't seen each other for more than ten days. A Lian looks much more elegant and dignified, and has a radiant look. Could it be that something happened?"

"Brother Chen doesn't know..." Zhao Qi roughly talked about the construction site after Chen Ji left and what happened a few days ago.

"This An is indeed a wicked wolf. He actually did such a shameless thing. Brother Zhao must not forgive him. He must let him suffer more!"

After hearing this, Chen Ji looked very angry, and Yao Ran sighed and shook his head and sighed.

"Forget it, this matter is now over. A'an said that he had been in prison for at least three to five years. A'lian was free from the sea of ​​suffering, and his two brothers were back. I was about to go to the capital city in two days to thank Duke Chong. They both happened to go with me!" Zhao Qi smiled and changed the topic.

"Hey, this is really good news!" Chen Ji and Yao Ran's eyes lit up at the same time.

"That's right, Brother Yao made such a fuss in the capital, Ding Daquan's pressure increased sharply. This time he was suppressed the opportunity to be promoted to Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor. Gong Gong may really be able to enter the court again next year. This time we will be able to get close to it. Three years later, the two brothers will take the provincial examination, and the chances will be much greater!"

"Haha, thank you brother Zhao Jiyan, let's go to the construction site quickly. I want to see how Brother Zhao transforms a warehouse into a harbor!" Yao Ran stood up and urged after drinking the hot tea in a few gulps.

Zhao Qi and Chen Ji looked at each other and smiled, and then stood up after drinking the tea several times.
Chapter completed!
