The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Dynasty Mahan came quickly with two hundred soldiers to replace the exhausted guards and horses; I am afraid that it is not appropriate to say that the guards and horses are a mixed army of guards and horses, because more than 40 horses have died. He will never be able to stand up again, and the horse that broke its neck and legs will be crippled even if it can be healed. Of course, it cannot be used as a war horse.Visit download txt novel

The two soldiers rushed to Su Jin to ask for instructions. Su Jin waved his hand and said, "Take people to tidy up, the wounded are carried to the government office, the uninjured are all tied up and sent to the prison, and the dead are all neat Well, let’s put it here for the time being, and we will issue a notice tomorrow for his family to claim it.”

Both leaders took the order and went away, Su Jin glared at Wang Chao and said, "What's wrong, it took two hours to take someone who was fascinated. If you were counting on you to come to help, everyone would have died long ago."

Wang Chao hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Master, I didn't expect it to be like this. When I led Song Zhifu into the Daming Temple, the temple was in chaos. More than a dozen monks died, and the old abbot didn't know where he went. Let alone the whereabouts of Feng Huhu."

Su Jin was startled and said, "Could it be that Feng Huo escaped?"

Wang Chao said: "Isn't that right? A little master said that that guy had some skills, and Mi Xiang's strength just passed away, so he took advantage of people's attention and broke away from the rope on his body, and then stretched out his hand to kill two people." The guarding monk, this little master just happened to pass by the meditation room where he was being held, and he was clever enough to hide in the bushes so he didn't get noticed."

Su Jin suddenly stood up and said, "What about the old host? Was he also killed?"

Wang Chao said: "That's not true. This fellow came out of the meditation room and killed everyone he saw. He ran all the way to the gate of the temple and greeted his dozen or so companions to enter the temple. They smashed and slashed. The monks all hid and saw no one. That’s where it disappeared.”

Su Jin stomped his feet and sighed: "This is bad, and the disaster will come when this person escapes."

Wang Chao hurriedly said, "I didn't escape."

Su Jin was overjoyed and said: "Caught him back? Why are you panting so much when you speak, are you dying?"

Wang Chao said: "I didn't say that, sir, you are too impatient."

Su Jin hurriedly asked the details. It turned out that the dynasty had been watching from the bottom of the mountain, but he didn't see Feng Jingyao and the others coming down the mountain. Based on this, he judged that Feng Jingyao must still be hiding on the mountain. He must have known that the officers and soldiers were coming to take him, so he hid in the forest immediately after killing him to vent his anger. , looking for a chance to sneak away.

Song Xiang was so anxious that he was about to jump off the cliff, sighing again and again, and was about to turn back at that time, but the dynasty firmly stopped him. First, the dynasty knew that Feng Huhu hadn't run away, and secondly, as soon as Feng Huhu escaped, there would be endless troubles. He is about to be shaken out, and Feng Laohu is highly skilled in martial arts, and he will definitely wait for the opportunity to retaliate, or if he takes advantage of the opportunity of five hundred officers and soldiers here, there will be no peace in the future.

Therefore, under the strong request of the dynasty, Song Xiang also considered that Feng Laohu was too threatening, especially because he was also involved in the matter of military rations. According to the dynasty, this person had already known about this, so he had to bite the bullet and order a search. Mountain.

Although Shugang Mountain is not tall, there are several precipitous places among the trees all over the mountain. Searching the mountains and arresting people is not so easy. After more than an hour of tossing, the dynasty knew that this was not the way.

Several soldiers from the Xiangbing gathered together to discuss, and decided to draw the key points. In such a cold day and such a dark night, Feng Huo and the others definitely couldn't hide very far. They didn't dare to start a fire, and they had nothing to eat. Can't get over it.

Sure enough, after the second watch, one of the Xiang soldiers led a hundred soldiers to search on the mountain wall behind the temple, and caught one of Feng Jingyao's men in a recessed cave. It was dark and Lu Jian broke his leg, so he fell behind.

This person is also clever. After finding out that he was falling behind, Feng Jingyao sent someone back to look for him, but this guy knew that if Feng Jingyao found out that his leg was broken, he would definitely not take him away. He killed himself, so he nestled in the grass without saying a word, avoiding the search of Feng Jingyao and his men, and then crawled into this small recess to escape the cold, hoping to survive the night and wait until dawn to worry about it.

At this moment, the man didn't care about whether he was a master or not, so he told the officers and soldiers exactly where Feng Jingyao and the others were heading without much questioning.

Feng Jingyao was old and cunning, knowing that the Nanshan Pass in the north of Yangzhou could not go, so he did not hesitate to climb mountains and cliffs to find a way to climb down from the north mountain wall, and then fled all the way north out of Shugang Mountain; Send out a signal to summon all the people to take a round, five hundred officers and soldiers chased all the way north, and chased to the top of the mountain in the north, and finally caught Feng Jingyao's gang upright.

Feng Jingyao and all his subordinates were still sitting on the ground pulling up grass ropes and preparing to fall off the cliff; unexpectedly, they were blocked on the top of the cliff, of course Feng Jingyao refused to catch him without a fight. None of the apprentices dared to do anything, so he resisted desperately and injured more than a dozen soldiers one after another. Finally, Wang Chaoyin shot him in the thigh with a bow and arrow in a corner, and he was captured in one fell swoop.

When they returned to Daming Temple, Ma Han and the horse soldier who had been sent to rescue the soldiers before were already anxious like ants on a hot pot in Daming Temple, but the soldiers could not move quickly with dozens of wounded, so the dynasty He and Ma Han brought more than 200 people back to rescue the emergency. Naturally, more than two hours passed after such a toss.

Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief, the dynasty was not good at words and said it very plainly, but Su Jin can fully imagine how difficult it is, how hard it is to find a dozen people in the barren mountains and mountains in the freezing night, when you can't see your fingers; If it wasn't for Feng Jingyao's eagerness to get away and flee north, one of his subordinates was injured and his whereabouts were exposed. After three days and three nights of searching, he might not be able to find anyone; It is difficult to find traces, and I have to say that this matter is quite lucky, and it seems that there is a destiny in the dark, or God and Buddha are guiding.

Several fires were ignited in the Sanli Hutong at Beikou, illuminating the whole Hutong as if it were daytime. Teams of Xiang soldiers escorted out the Dragon and Tiger Gate disciples who were bundled like rice dumplings. More than 100 wounded or supported each other with sticks. Or be carried by other people all the way out of the alley, and taken to the government office lobby and prison for guarding.

The women, children, the elderly and the weak in the houses in the alley were gathered in a large room for centralized guarding, and they were checked one by one at dawn to see if there were any leaks.

The dead bodies were cleared out, and they were lined up on both sides of the street, more than 50 steps long.

Su Jin looked shocked and ordered someone to find some cloth to cover all the dead bodies. The corpses of several horse soldiers died at Zhang Long's side, and they were buried overnight and parked in the government office square. In the capital city, these forbidden soldiers are all from the capital city, and the fallen leaves return to their roots, and they cannot be buried in other places after death. In addition, the aftermath such as pension expenses will only be released after the court official verifies the death.

Su Jin covered his nose and took Chao Mahan, Zhang Long and others back and forth several times, arranging all kinds of things one by one. Su Jin remembered that there were still things to do in Fugui Building, so he turned and went straight to Fugui Building.

The exquisite small courtyard was not damaged much, but when the reinforcements arrived, they entered the Fugui Building to search and found several disciples of the Dragon and Tiger Sect hiding in the courtyard, so they fought in the courtyard for a while, and a disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Sect stumbled Falling into the Tsinghua Pool, he was stabbed indiscriminately by the soldiers with spears, and stabbed to death in the pool, so that even after the body was fished out, the pool water was still dyed red.

Su Jin sighed secretly: "Did the name 'Tsinghua Pool' be chosen randomly? Although the word order is reversed, who doesn't know that it is called 'Huaqing Pool'? Don't you know that Li Tangshi used to soak in hot springs in 'Huaqing Pool'?" Didn’t everyone end up well in the end? Feng Jingyao doesn’t understand history, if he knew that people who took a bath in Huaqing Pool were hanged and placed under house arrest, he wouldn’t think of such a thing even if he was beaten to death. Unlucky name.

The gate of the Fugui Building was closed tightly, but the two horse soldiers did not forget Su Jin's order. After annihilating the disciples of the Dragon and Tiger Gate, they immediately came to perform their duty of standing guard. When they saw Su Jin coming, the two quickly saluted.

Su Jin smiled and said: "There is no change inside."

The soldier of the horse army replied: "There is no movement at all. I guess they are still hiding upstairs."

Su Jin smiled and waved: "Return to the team, leave this place to me."

Su Jin stretched out his hand and pushed the door of the building, and immediately a warm, sweet and greasy air came from his nose. His heart moved, and the beautiful scene of being with Bai Mudan in Fugui upstairs that day came to his heart.

Su Jin shook his head, scolding himself that it was really inappropriate to think of these things at this time, coughed, and walked in through the door.
