The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Hearing such arrogant words, Su Jin felt an unknown fire in his heart. The world has been turned upside down. Those who grow food have no food to eat, and those who spin cotton have no clothes to wear. Those who don't do things, those who do things suffer disaster, those who are exhausted are poor like ghosts, and those who get rich enjoy happiness!

What kind of world is this?How could one be so corrupt?

"Pull!" Su Jin shouted angrily.

Zhao Du got the order, and with one order, more than twenty leather whips were whipped on the horse's buttocks like raindrops, and more than twenty horses exerted their strength together, just listening to "Kang Dang!"Boom! The sound was loud, a burst of smoke rose, gravel and dust flew up, and the iron fence embedded in the stone mortise was abruptly pulled away from the ground and dragged along the ground several feet away.

Everyone screamed and jumped around to avoid the splashing gravel. The knights hurriedly reined in the horses that were rushing forward. The horses raised their front hooves and neighed endlessly.

After the smog cleared, the south end of Sanli Hutong was already in a mess. Seven or eight short-dressed men stood there in a daze, completely unaware that the officers and soldiers would forcibly demolish it.

A big man in the lead shouted loudly: "You are so brave, you actually destroyed the private house, will this matter not be with you?"

Su Jin shouted: "Are you the master here?"

The big man said: "No, I'm afraid you are not qualified to meet the master here."

Su Jinzong immediately stepped forward and said: "Since you are not the owner of this room, you have no right to speak. Either step aside or ask your owner to come and talk to me."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Search for me. I was suspicious. The escaped bandit chief hid in the Sanli Hutong at Beikou. I searched carefully, and didn't miss any corner."

All the horsemen shouted in unison, and galloped towards the alley.

The big man's face changed drastically and he said: "How dare you? Where are you from the official post, do you understand the rules?"

Zhao Dutou laughed loudly and said, "You've got the point. I'm the guard of the capital, Sima Jun. The imperial guards came to search your house. Did you give you enough face?"

"Forbidden army? Since it is not a local Xiang army in Yangzhou, what right does it have to search private houses?" The man shouted in the middle of the road.

"You are worthy of asking me." Zhao Dutou's arrogance was stimulated, and he waved his hand and said, "Brothers, some people look down on our imperial army, what should we do?"

"Fuck you bastards, it's your turn to watch the imperial guards in the capital?"

The horsemen shouted curses, urged the horses to rush in, the big man stuffed two fingers in his mouth and whistled loudly, suddenly hundreds of people poured out from the alley, all young and middle-aged men, with their hands in their hands. Holding sticks, hammers and other objects, he glared aggressively.

The big man said: "Even if the government conducts a search, there must be a warrant from the magistrate. Take it out and have a look. If there is no one, you will be breaking into a private house. Our brothers are not soft persimmons to be manipulated by others."

Su Jin laughed and said: "I can't see that you still have a lot of research on the laws of the Song Dynasty. Warrant? The words of the envoy are warrants. Where is Zhao Dutou?"

Zhao Dutou said loudly: "The humble job is here."

"You can lead your troops into the alley to search for the bandits. Whoever resists will be associated with the bandits. You can greet them with the swords in your hands. Not only will it be no fault of killing them, but it will be meritorious!"

"Decree!" Zhao Du yelled violently, pulled out a long knife from his waist and raised it up: "Master Ma Jun, listen up, the envoy has an order to search this alley, and if anyone resists, he will be killed."

With a roar, everyone drew their weapons and rode their horses into the alley.

The big man stopped in the middle of the road and had no intention of retreating. When a horse soldier who galloped ahead raised his horse and raised the reins, the horse's front hooves flew towards the man's face and stomped towards the man's face. The big man turned around and avoided With the trampling of the horse's hoof, he stretched out his hand and pulled the rein on the horse's head.

All the horsemen shouted in unison: "You son of a bitch, dare to resist, chop him up!"

Zhao Du's head was on the left, and he swung his knife forward and slashed at him. The man had to let go of the rein and took a step back. Su Jin shouted: "This man violently resisted the government's search for the bandit chieftain. He must have something to do with him. Take it!" Get him down."

The horses whizzed by, catching up with the man like a gust of wind. The soldiers of the horse army on the horseback were skilled in sword skills, one left and one right, one knife up and one knife down horizontally, and these two swords rushed forward with the momentum of the horse. On the man's body, the man must be divided into three sections.

At the very moment, a deep voice sounded from the front.

"Keeping people under the sword!" At the same time, two silver rays of light flew towards them, and hit the two long knives that were about to be slashed with two whistling sounds, and the two soldiers couldn't hold on to them. Holding the handle of the knife, the steel knife flew out of his hand, and flew backwards in a whirl. Wang Chao's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he slashed down with one knife, smashing a spinning steel knife to the ground, and the other steel knife hit a horse On the shin, the horse hissed sadly and almost fell to his knees. The knight on the horse jumped off the horse quickly when he saw the opportunity, and tightly reined in the rein to stabilize the horse.

It was only then that everyone saw clearly what it was that knocked down the steel knife. It turned out to be two big black and shiny iron balls.

"Who? Dare to attack officers and soldiers, set up formations, and draw bows!" Zhao Dutou shouted angrily.

Although they are old soldiers, after all, they have been soaked in Yin on horseback for many years. The soldiers of the horse army were ordered to quickly put the steel knife into the sheath, and stretched out their hands to take off the short bow on their back. Aim at a thin old man walking in front.

The old man raised his hand and shouted: "Master, wait a moment. I, Feng Jingyao respectfully welcome all of you, just now, the situation is urgent, so I acted rashly. I am not an enemy of you."

The arrogant man was already frightened out of his wits at this moment, lying on the ground and standing with his legs crossed, just now the two knives had cut through the cotton coat on his back, and the cool air from the blades had already irritated his skin, he thought he would die and was rescued When I got down, I felt weak and covered in cold sweat.

"Don't back down with me, idiot!" the old man shouted.

The man crawled around on the ground limply, but he couldn't get up. The two accomplices at the side quickly stepped forward to set him up and dragged him aside.

Su Jin stretched out his hand to signal the soldiers to put down their bows and arrows, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Feng Jingyao? Are you the master here?"

Feng Jingyao clasped his fists and said, "Don't dare, Sanli Beikou is just old and poor."

Su Jin looked Feng Jingyao up and down. He was thin and dry, but his eyes were like lightning, like two sharp swords. When he looked at you, he seemed to be able to pierce your skin. He was only wearing a thin black gown in the cold weather. , with a bun on his head, a thin face, and his fingers are as dry and thin as claws.

Although Su Jin is a layman, he can tell by feeling that this person is not simple, and the explosive power exuding from his body is very comparable to others. Even Dynasty Ma Han may not be his opponent; the strange thing is that, The bridge of this person's nose was skewed to one side, which instantly destroyed the pattern of his face, making the original handsome and upright features strange and funny.

"Who is Feng Laohu to you?" Su Jin asked.

"Hahaha, the old man is a tiger, friends in the Jianghu gave him the nickname Feng Tiger, my lord laughed."

Su Jin smiled and said: "It turns out that you are the famous Feng Huo. You are disrespectful. Your excellency is so handsome. If the missile hits the head of the envoy, wouldn't the envoy be killed on the spot?" ?”

Feng Huhu chuckled, stretched out his feet and kicked the two iron eggs on the ground, reached out and held them in his palms and spun them, and said: "Your Excellency, you are joking, old people in the mountains and fields, just accidentally hit and bumped in a hurry. What skills do you have. This young man is young and heroic, full of vigor and spirit, if the old man has not lost his eyesight, he must be the special envoy of Su who has been widely praised as the blue sky in Yangzhou City recently."

Su Jin smiled and said: "You look around and listen to all directions. The original envoy is Su Jin. Qingtian dare not be the one. If you can benefit the people, you will live up to the entrustment of the court."

"Well said!" Feng Huo pointed and praised, "The special envoy is young but has the ambition to serve the country. Compared with the adults, the old man is really ashamed to live for fifty years without doing anything."

Su Jin sneered and said, "Master Feng is too modest. No one in Yangzhou knows your name, Mr. Feng. There are even folk songs in the streets and alleys, 'I would rather meet a wolf in Nanshan than provoke a tiger in Yangzhou.' Master Feng's name is very famous, Although Mr. Feng has always been a supernatural being, but you must have taken root in the dreams of every family, but it's a pity... those are all nightmares!"

Feng Huhu changed his color in horror, his eyes flashed fiercely, he returned to normal in an instant, he laughed and said, "Where did you hear this gossip, my lord is just an ordinary person in Yangzhou City, who wears clothes and eats every day and has nothing to do with the world. There are so many sayings, the common saying goes well, 'When a person sits at home, disasters will come from heaven', this is slandered for no reason, how can this old man go to reason? Ah? Hahaha."

Feng Huo laughed loudly, and the men with sticks around him also laughed wildly.
