The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

(Ask for a ticket!)

Su Jin waited for them to leave without a trace, and just sat down on the chair and let out a long breath. Tonight was extremely dangerous, and he was almost cut to pieces by knives for no reason. To prevent others, let yourself be on guard, three or forty people swarmed in, and if you are caught off guard, disaster will happen.

Even Chao Ma Han and others are highly skilled in martial arts, but with so many women and children who are sick and weak, how many of them can escape?

Su Jin couldn't help but secretly thanked God for his blessing. Yan Biyun gave her three companions in the afternoon, and they came in handy in the evening. The gang went to the wrong house again in a daze, and God destined her to escape this disaster; it's a pity The old couple next door must have not been spared.

Su Jin only rested for a while, then couldn't sit still, got up and ordered: "Hurry up and tidy up the bloodstains and broken tables and chairs in the yard, so that you can clean them up, and those who are injured wrap their wounds and go to the room to lie down. "

Zhao Hu said: "Why clean the yard? Don't you report this to the officials? This is evidence."

Su Jin said: "Don't be stupid, what kind of official are you reporting to, are you looking for trouble? The old couple next door must be unlucky. After this group of people left, the next step is that the officials and yamen servants will arrive."

Everyone was skeptical, so they had to follow Su Jin's instructions to clean up the blood on the dust in the yard and clean up the yard.

Su Jin helped the wounded to apply sore medicine and wrapped them in cloth strips. While he was busy, he suddenly saw Xiao Sui'er poking his head into the living room, and said in surprise, "Didn't you be told to go out of the backyard and hide at Dong Yan's house?"

Xiao Sui'er twitched and said: "There is no door to the backyard, and we... we can't climb the wall, so we hid in the small pavilion at the back until now, and the sound of fighting has stopped, so we came to see the situation; my lord, are you alright?" .”

Su Jin rolled his eyes, for a long time he forgot about the fact that there is no back door in the backyard, and couldn't help sweating, if he was a little careless today, the whole family would be ruined.

"I'm fine, you call people back, help them wrap their wounds, and then they all go to the room to sleep, no matter who comes to ask, they will say that they don't know what happened, they have been sleeping at home all the time, tell them this too , don't forget."

Xiao Sui'er nodded suspiciously, and everyone was busy with tea time. Just as Su Jin ordered, they went back to their rooms and pretended to be asleep, when they heard people neighing at the entrance of the alley, they hid by the door with Su Jin and looked out The dynasty raised his finger and said: "My lord's judgment is really accurate. If it really came, and the horse, it must be from the government."

Su Jin stared at the outside, smiled and said nothing, and thought: I will tell you that Hong Kong shootout movies are all like this?It is a law that the police arrive only after the main character finishes fighting.

In fact, when the people from the government came, the last fantasy in Su Jin's heart was completely shattered. This situation clearly showed that the government was late on purpose, and it was obvious that this group of people had something to do with the government.

Generally speaking, the gangsters on the street are fierce, but I have never seen three or forty people dispatched to avenge the murder, and the weapons control in the Song Dynasty is very strict, and the possession of knives, guns and weapons will be punished as a felony. Ren Yishui's ghost-headed big steel knife, uniform in standard, obviously has the acquiescence of the government, but who is the Qi Ye in Zhu Manzi's mouth, and Xiao gathers so many desperadoes to openly kill and retaliate with great fanfare, this is not what ordinary people think It can be done, and it is not known that there is even a bigger backer behind this Seventh Master.

Su Jinxiang's palms were sweating, and he felt more and more that his handling of today's incident was considered appropriate. Firstly, no one was killed, and secondly, he succeeded in persuading Zhu Manizi to go back, and left a written statement to coerce him; at the same time , Su Jin also felt a greater threat. If this confession got out, Qi Ye didn't know what kind of thunderous means he would use to deal with him, and he didn't know how big waves it would cause if it got out.

Su Jin made a decision. Tomorrow, no matter what, he had to hide this confession somewhere else and not keep it with him. He was not [-]% sure that Zhu Manizi's attitude was the truth, if this person played tricks on him, if this confession had no binding effect on him, his group of people would still be very dangerous.

Su Jinsi was in a tizzy, and the officers and soldiers outside were already asking door to door. Residents in dozens of houses were woken up.

The answer is of course no. The people are wise and safe. Although they heard the sound of fighting in the middle of the night, they all said that there was no sound around them. Only their old cat meowed a few times, but they didn’t hear any movement; when they knocked on Su Jin’s courtyard door, Su Jin drove them in person, and the yamen servants were suspicious when they saw that the lights were still on in Su Jin's well-dressed house.

"In the middle of the night, why are you dressed neatly? Someone died next door, do you know?" the head of the yamen servant asked.

Su Jin pretended to be frightened out of his wits, shaking his lips and said: "Huh? Did someone die? The military master is above, and this matter has nothing to do with me. I am a student of Yingtian Academy, renting here, and I will be here today." There is too much homework, and my mentor Fang Zimo assigned two more homework articles, one is "Those who are not beautiful have a husband" and "Those who are beautiful but not real have a husband". I am thinking hard, but I don't know that the next door is actually dead To kill a person is really to burn all inside and out of fear, Sun Tzu said: "..."

"What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Who are you calling your grandson?" A yamen servant drew his sword and scolded.

The head of the yamen servants scolded with a smile: "Don't you fucking meddle, you don't have to embarrass me, the grandson they say is not us."

The yamen servant said: "Boss, who is his grandson?"

The team leader said: "No one is his grandson..."

"Then why is he called grandson..."

"..."

The head of the yamen servants shook his head and sighed, then turned to Su Jin and said, "It turns out that you are a young scholar, and we don't understand what you are talking about. I just ask you, the old couple and two old servants next door to your house were killed by someone, did you hear the movement?" No."

Su Jin said in fear: "I haven't heard of it."

The head of the yamen servant frowned and said: "If you think of something, you can't hide it, you have to go to the yamen and tell me, you know?"

Su Jin cupped his hands and said: "How dare I deceive you? You need to know that it is everyone's responsibility to wipe out the bandits and thieves. If you hear about it, dare not do the work of a dog and a horse. Lao Tzu said:..."

"Zhiniang thief, whose father are you, tell me clearly, you are stupid, you can take advantage of it endlessly." Filled with righteous indignation, the yamen servant drew his sword and stepped forward again.

The head of the yamen servant team was unable to explain any more, without saying a word, he turned around and pulled him away, not wanting to talk to him anymore.

……

Su Jin covered the door and wiped his sweat. Although he was perfunctory, he could see that these government servants were just going through the motions and didn't ask carefully at all. The murder case in this building was probably attributed to some gentlemen who came and went without a trace. , or it was done by a strongman in a certain village in a certain mountain. Although Su Jin felt sorry for the lives of these four people, there was nothing he could do about it. Who said this is the Song Dynasty?

These four people are actually his own scapegoats. Su Jin prayed in his heart: "Although I don't know you before, but speaking of it, you are also in trouble because of me, but I can't publicly express my intention to pay homage. I will set up an unnamed tablet for you to offer some sacrifices, burn some incense, and express my heart, I hope you will reach bliss as soon as possible."

Lying on the bed, Su Jin decided that he had to discuss this matter with Yan Biyun as soon as possible. It would be more appropriate to put the evidence at Yan Biyun's place; whether Yan Biyun should write a letter to inform Yan Shu of this matter, Su Jin hadn't decided yet, his mind was in a mess, I really can't think of a safe way.

Su Jin tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. For a while, he wanted to go back to Luzhou and stay away from the trouble; It's too easy for me, if I'm determined to look back and find trouble for myself, it's useless to hide in the sky.

Just like this, I kept thinking about it, until the sky was getting brighter and the rooster crowed, Su Jin still didn't fall asleep, staring at the ceiling with two big eyes in a daze.
