The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

The sound of footsteps and knocking on the door in the middle of the night awakened the sleeping people in Luzhou City. The people who were still immersed in the aftertaste of the New Year got up and opened the door at a loss to welcome the wolf-like soldiers. big search. @bsp;om

At such times, there are always all the soldiers who like to take advantage of the fire to rob, needless to say, breaking into the houses of the female relatives, groping and scratching on the half-exposed breasts of the female relatives for personal gain; In the struggle against peace and violence, bloody cases were unavoidable; for a while, there were shouts of crying and cursing, and when the soldiers became angry, many civilians were also stabbed. Fortunately, no one was killed, which is a blessing in misfortune.

In a courtyard in the north of the city, the companions of Yan's family had already noticed the situation was different, so they rushed in and informed them. Yan Biyun immediately ordered someone to wake everyone up. The forty or fifty people in the house gathered in the hall except Mrs. Wang, who was not disturbed. , suddenly looked around, trembling with fear.

Yan Biyun's calm gaze scanned the crowd, and wherever his gaze fell, the restless emotions of the crowd immediately calmed down; the young master was not here, and everyone lost their backbone. At this moment, there is an urgent need for someone to stand up for everyone to rely on, and Yan Biyun is is the best candidate.

Everyone knows that Yan Biyun will become the mistress of the Su family sooner or later, and this is the time for this future mistress to show her abilities.

"Everyone, don't panic. Mr. Su went to Shouzhou, and he won't be able to come back for a while. Before leaving, he said that if there is any change in the city, it must be aimed at us. That's why the slave family called everyone up. thing."

Xiao Sui'er said: "Dong Yan's family, where are the dozens of members of this family going to hide? Maybe it's not targeting us."

Yan Biyun said: "I hope so too, but how can I take such a risk, once I make a mistake, it's too late to regret it."

Footsteps were pounding outside the door, and the eldest brother of Yan's family, Liu, rushed in and shouted: "Master, think of a way, the soldiers searched two streets away, Ma San went to inquire secretly, they said they were searching for important criminals, But in the words, he was asking about the situation of the Su family, it seems that he really came for the Su family."

Yan Biyun said: "Understood, you immediately retreat to the courtyard, close the courtyard door and prepare; Xian'er, immediately go to the utility room in the corner of the backyard, there is a cellar under the room, which can accommodate people; Sui'er, sister, Rou Nianghuan Girls, you guys go and invite the old lady to hide in the cellar, and bring some tea and snacks in, lest the old lady is thirsty or hungry, without me personally calling, you must not agree."

Rou Niang said: "Then sister Yan, what are you going to do?"

Yan Biyun smiled and said: "They are looking for trouble for the Su family, how dare they do anything to me? Listen to the rest of you, from now on you are the slaves of my Yan family, you must not let it go, and the slave family will deal with everything."

Everyone agreed in panic, and now they can only follow Yan Biyun's command; Rou Niang Huan Niang Xiao Sui Er and others rushed to ask Mrs. Wang to get up, but Mrs. Wang was ignorant and asked endlessly. Her complexion was pale, she let everyone play with her like a puppet, and hid in the cellar in the back garden.

In the courtyard, everyone turned off the lights, and more than a dozen people from the Suji Nursing Academy, who were dispatched by the seven or eight companions of the Yan Mansion together with Su Jin, hid around the courtyard with sticks in their hands, while the rest went back to their rooms and prayed.

After an unbearable stick of incense, there was a lot of noise in front of the gate of the courtyard. A group of officers and soldiers came to the gate of the courtyard with torches. Order, the whole city will search for the important criminals of the imperial court, and open the door quickly for inspection."

Yan Biyun lit the lamp and came to the courtyard. Everyone pretended to have just got up and gathered in the front courtyard. A servant stepped forward and just opened the courtyard door. Immediately, more than 20 soldiers rushed in with lanterns in their hands. The torches swayed wildly, illuminating the courtyard in chaos.

The leading officers and soldiers shouted loudly: "Who is the owner of this house? Why did it take so long to open the door?"

Yan Biyun stepped forward to give a blessing and said: "This general, the servant's family is the master of this house."

The head of the capital obviously didn't know Yan Biyun. When he first saw this slim and beautiful young lady, his heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed and said, "Are you the master of this house? Don't you have a man in your family?"

Yan Biyun reprimanded: "This general's words are really ridiculous, can't a woman be the head of the family? What's the point of beating and beating in the middle of the night?"

He was stunned for a moment, looked up and down Yan Biyun impolitely, licked his lips and said, "Young lady has such a sharp mouth, I don't want to just ask casually, but you talk so much; I'm obliged by the magistrate's advice." Ordered to search the imperial court for criminals, it is natural to act resolutely and swiftly, so why not ask politely?"

Yan Biyun said coldly: "Naturally, you should be polite. You are a soldier of the Great Song Dynasty, and your duty is to protect the people of the Great Song Dynasty, not to disturb the people casually; even if you are hunting for important criminals, you must abide by your duties and follow the rules. Come on, you said you were ordered by the magistrate, do you have the magistrate's warrant?"

Na Dutou laughed loudly and said: "I can't see that the young lady is really sensible, of course there is a warrant, but it is not necessary for a man to do business. I have to prove my identity to you and call out all the people in the house. The man wants to check the house." Whether there are important criminals hidden in the house; if the young lady is sensible, she will stand aside, if not, don't blame the man for being ignorant."

Yan Biyun said: "Searching a house without a warrant? What kind of reasoning is this? The servant suspects that you don't have an order from the magistrate at all. If you show the warrant, you will naturally search it. Otherwise, don't blame the servant for not giving the military master face."

"Oh, my little lady, this is the big worm that came down from that mountain, and she actually challenged the men, come here, search for me, if there is any resistance, pull it out, strip off your pants, and spank your butt; hahaha." Taking off his trousers and spanking, he said that he was extremely slutty, and his eyes flicked randomly at the lower bodies of seven or eight women, looking squinted.

"The emperor actually raised you gang of shameless people to guard the people. It's really a waste of food and money." Yan Biyun scolded angrily with his face covered in frost.

"Little lady, be careful what you say. You obstruct me in every possible way. There is no reason to suspect that you are harboring important criminals. Brothers, why are you still standing there? Search for me."

They all shouted at the motionless soldiers around them, but the more than 20 soldiers looked at me and you, and no one wanted to move.

"Damn, what are you thinking, are you looking for a beating?" Na Dutou scolded angrily.

"Dutou..." A soldier leaned forward and whispered in his ear: "You can't make mistakes, who do you think this little lady is?"

"Damn it, whoever she is?"

"She is the hostess of Hefeng Building..."

"So what? Is the lady boss of Hefenglou older than Lao Tzu?"

"That's not to say, she is the niece of Lord Yan, the third envoy. The whole city knows about it, and no one dares to offend her. The magistrate will give him a little favor when he comes. You have just been transferred from a foreign country. I'm afraid I don't understand the situation..."

"Si..." Nadu's scalp was numb, and he thought: No wonder it's so arrogant, it turned out to be Lord Sansi's niece, but fortunately he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, if he rushed in to take advantage of the chaos like the one on the corner of the street, He even touched the flamboyant nipples of a few young ladies who were too late to get dressed, it's no wonder that the third secretary didn't chop himself into meat paste.

"This... my lady invited you. Please look over the warrant here. I have no choice but to do it when I am ordered to search, and please cooperate with me." good youth.

Yan Biyun said coldly: "This looks like a big Song Dynasty soldier. You can search, but you are not allowed to touch anything in my house. I know that there are people who like to steal sheep, but every decoration in this house is very valuable. If If it is broken or missing, the slave family will definitely sue you to the government.”

"What are you talking about? Are we the ones who take advantage of the fire? The dignified soldiers of the Song Dynasty will live up to the emperor..."

Yan Biyun interrupted Dutou's confession, and said coldly: "Come on, let your soldiers hide the things in their arms first, and then they are all bulging, and they have made an oath to this servant; It doesn't matter, it's better for you to behave properly in the slave's house; if something goes wrong, the slave is afraid that you will be overwhelmed and walk around; this is all, don't blame the slave for not predicting."

All of them turned their heads to look at the soldiers around them, their arms were full of things, some strings of jewels were obviously stuffed too fast, and half of them were still hanging around outside, suddenly they got angry, and slapped their hands. Those idiots slapped each of them, and shouted: "I asked you bastards to take advantage of the fire to ruin the reputation of our soldiers, and send them back to kowtow to apologize later, do you hear me?"

Several Xiang soldiers quickly stuffed the jewels tightly, nodded and bowed their heads and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely send them back to make amends, and I will never dare again."

Yan Biyun watched them play with cold eyes, and the sarcasm in his eyebrows was undoubtedly revealed. He waved his hand and said: "Go in and search for five people. If anyone wants to take advantage of the fire, I will kill him alive. The rest of them will wait in line here."

Five soldiers came out, held torches and entered the house to search. They all smiled and said, "Is this arrangement, my lady, satisfied?"

Yan Biyun said coldly: "But as long as you don't disturb the people."

Dutou chuckled and said: "That's natural, it's a helpless act to obey orders, otherwise, in the middle of the night, the cold wind blows the whole body cold, who would want to run around all over the street?"

Yan Biyun's face paled slightly, and his tone softened: "My family understands that it is not easy for someone to make a pot of hot tea to warm up the soldiers' bodies."

Everyone was flattered and thanked repeatedly, Xiaoxian'er reluctantly brought a pot of hot tea, took a few big bowls and poured a bowl for each of them, the soldiers were really thirsty, gulping down their stomachs, gasping for breath Xiao Xianer rolled her eyes, wasting a pot of good tea in vain.

Yan Biyun asked casually: "Which criminal are you guys looking for? What happened?"

Nadu put down his tea bowl, wiped the water stains on his mouth and said casually: "Who the hell knows?"

Yan Biyun frowned slightly and looked at him in amazement. He was stunned and said hurriedly: "Well... I heard that dozens of stone-quarrying prisoners escaped from the Xishan quarry, and I was afraid that they would sneak into the city and cause chaos, so... "

Yan Biyun nodded slightly and said: "It's strange, Xishan is outside the city, and the condemned prisoner escaped and ran to the city to find his own way of death. This prisoner's brain really isn't working."

Dutou blushed, coughed and raised his head to look inside the room, five soldiers ran out one by one, and reported: "Toutou, there is nothing unusual in the house, and no trace of the criminal was found."

Nadu nodded, "Have you looked carefully?"

All five said: "I've looked at the pile of firewood in the backyard under the bed, and there is nothing unusual."

Du bowed his hands at Yan Biyun and said: "That's what it should be. I'm bothering the little lady. I'll go to another place after I wait. Haihan is responsible for the disturbance."

Yan Biyun Wanfu returned the gift and said: "Masters, please be polite. Come here and bring some money to buy wine for the gentlemen. It's not easy at midnight."

The servants offered ten pennies of money, but they refused verbally, but hurriedly grabbed the money bag, waved their hands, and left with all the soldiers noisily.

Sweat dripped from Yan Biyun's smooth forehead, he let out a sigh of relief and ordered softly: "Close the courtyard door, and immediately invite the old lady back to the room, the cellar is very cold and damp, I'm afraid the old lady can't bear it." .”

Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief and left as ordered. ;_
