The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 334
Arriving in Laba in a blink of an eye, Lianazha had been away for a few days.

That morning, Zhao Tun finally left Zhuangzi.

Since Lianazha left, he locked himself in the villa and didn't go anywhere.

Even some matters concerning the royal palace and court, Yao Pingzhong was asked to pass them back and forth and do it on his behalf.

At this moment, his expression was a little indifferent and lonely, and he was walking slowly on the streets of Tokyo with the yellow horse on his back.

The Tokyo city of Laba is actually very lively. The court rewarded Laba porridge to courtiers, and some big shops also set up large pots in front of their doors to boil it. In temples, people’s homes today eat Laba porridge as a staple food.

The aroma of porridge made from rice crackers fills the air above the capital. As the New Year is approaching, everyone's faces are filled with joy, as if they were in a peaceful and prosperous world.

Zhao Tang went to Suiyulou, a large group of people were drinking porridge around the cauldron in the backyard, when they saw him coming, they all stood up and saluted.

Zhao Tang asked Jian Suyi to bring him a big bowl, and asked for more dates.

After finishing the porridge, he called Ouyang Bei to the secret room. At this time, Ouyang Bei had finished his miserable singing career, and Ouyang Renzhi's job was replaced by someone else.

Zhao Tong handed over a letter to Ouyang Bei, asking him to leave for Longyou immediately and deliver the letter to Liu Suiyun.

Ouyang Bei seemed to be pardoned, since he left the theatre, he didn't want to stay in Tokyo for a moment, not to mention going to Goulan to listen to music, even going out is difficult, there are few people in Tokyo who don't recognize him as a "wicked person". As for chasing and beating, he always pointed behind his back, making him unable to lift his head.

Then Zhao Tun returned to the mansion, and there was also Laba porridge rewarded by the palace in the mansion. After sharing it with the servants and drinking it, he plunged into the study room, and still did not come out until it was almost dark...

Taihu Lake in winter is quiet, the water is calm, and there is no ice on the lake. Although there have been a few snowfalls, the weather is not cold enough, and it is slowly melting.

The sky is blue, mixed with some white clouds like goose feathers, and the water surface is like a mirror, cold and bright.

On the shore, the cold wind in winter blows away the flowers and leaves, but blows the reed flowers, and the reeds sway in all kinds of styles.

Overwintering waterfowl come and go, shuttling among the reed flowers for food, chasing and playing.

The lonely green pines in the distance, the withered leaves, and the temples that have existed since ancient times merge into a moving scenery in this bleak season.

Just above the surface of the lake, there is a big boat floating slowly.

The boat is a painting, with lanterns and colorful decorations, yellow lacquer on the top, and carved beams and phoenixes on the pillars of the boat. When you get close, you will find that even the lanterns are painted with various characters, and the depictions are lifelike and ready to emerge.

This kind of painting boat is rare even on the Bian River in the capital.

The young master Zhu Ruxian is sitting in the painting boat. He is 30 years old now, with a beard under his chin. He is white, fat and rich, but his expression has disappeared. The kind of frivolity and frizz when cutting down the village god tree.

Sitting in front of him was Wang Zhonghong, the Commander of Yingfeng Bureau. This right-hand man of Zhu Man, although his face was old, but his temples were bulging high, his face was stiff and stiff, and he looked as strong and powerful as his arms.

Zhu Ruxian reached out his hand to touch his beard, and asked the sailors to lift up the curtain to watch the scenery on the lake. After a while, he couldn't help but nodded slightly. The Taihu Lake in winter naturally has a special flavor, which is completely different from the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn.

At this time, the attendants began to place wine, and within a short time, dozens of fresh fruits and delicacies from the south of the Five Ridges were spread out. They also took Jiangchun, a famous Jiangnan wine from the altar, and opened the clay seal, and filled it up for the two of them.

Then Zhu Ruxian ordered his attendants to go to the back to call for someone, and asked two red-clothed maids to accompany them, serving wine under their shoulders, while five singing girls in green skirts played pianos, sang and danced in front of them to add to the fun.

After three cups of wine and two sets of dishes, Zhu Ruxian sighed quietly to Wang Zhonghong: "Although you and I drink at the right time, we can't listen to this kind of music, and can't drink this kind of wine. Usually when we are at home, my little ones Concubine, not to mention the beauty of the country, but nine points of color, that's all, the most rare thing is a singing voice, which makes people lose their souls."

The singing girls in front heard this, all of them were so ashamed that their pink faces drooped, their red faces were silent, their hands pinched the corners of their skirts, and they were a little helpless.

Wang Zhonghong smiled and said to help: "These camp prostitutes are all newly sent here, and they have not touched anyone. Although they have also taught some fanciful tunes, but where there is a prince at home, they seem to be drinking songs at night. Playing tricks is fun, no wonder Eldest Young Master can't bear it."

Zhu Ruxian nodded, these courtesans are all Taihu camp prostitutes, probably the camp prostitutes are family members of some criminals, there are petty officials, there are gentry and landlords, and there are naturally more poor families. That's why they are filled with camp prostitutes.

The camp prostitutes are different from the Jiaofang Division. The status of the camp prostitutes is extremely low, and they don't have much freedom.

Moreover, since Zhu Xi took charge of the Yingfeng Bureau, the scale of Taihu Lake's prostitute camp has been expanding day by day. Whenever they go down to look for flowers and stones, and encounter people who resist, they will not only demolish the houses and push the walls, but also bring them to question, and even bring their wives and daughters with them. Go, fill this Taihu camp.

In recent years, this matter has become even worse, and flowers and stones are rare, so the camp used the name of doing laundry to trick some fishermen's daughters and farmers' daughters by the Taihu Lake into the camp, and then they never returned, and they were forcibly used as camps. prostitute.

And these common people had nowhere to file a complaint, and when they went to look for them, they were often beaten up. If they were beaten to death, they would be tied up with stones and sank to the bottom of Taihu Lake.

There were also water thieves and heroes on Taihu Lake, but this place is not as dangerous as Liangshan. Although there are some islands, these islands have been almost demolished in order to dig Taihu Lake stones these years.

It's hard for water pirates to gather together, so they can only live by the lake. There used to be a water thief named Hu Da, who was probably doing the tricks of the Xunyang River.

But this water thief has a family, once he went out to the lake to do business without capital, and his family was recruited by the soldiers of the Ministry of Justice, his daughter was raped and directly killed, his wife asked him to avenge his daughter, but he said: "Don't dare. "

The wife said angrily: "Do you still kill people on the water? Why don't you dare to take revenge!"

He said: "I dare to kill anyone, but I don't dare to kill those who are in charge of the bureau."

The wife quarreled with him, got annoyed and started to scold his wife, stretched out her hand and hit her, and she also hit her head to death.

This Hu Da was greatly stimulated, he brandished a steel knife and went to the camp the next night, he was shot to death by random arrows before approaching.

Don't say that the area around Taihu Lake in Suzhou is the Liangzhe Road, but everyone knows that it should be regarded as fiercer than a tiger.

Zhu Ruxian is used to enjoying himself at home. Although there are prostitutes to accompany him to drink, how can he compare with being happy at home? He turned his face to a woman in a red dress beside him and said, "Little lady, what's your name?" ?”

The girl in the red skirt said in a low voice: "My slave is called Lingxin."

Zhu Ruxian took a look at her appearance: "Born the best, with a good name, with a spiritual heart, sing the tunes you are good at. If you sing well, I will reward you from the bottom of my heart."

This spirit was born well-behaved, at this moment with a twelve-point smile, he got up and saluted Zhu and Wang each with a blessing, and said: "My family learned a few sentences when I was young, and I listened to some words in the camp. When the singing is not pleasant, please forgive me." After finishing speaking, he walked to the front of the tapestry.

After a while, the planting board was tapped lightly, and the silk strings were picked slowly, and the soul sang a two-tone melody in a melodious manner. The title of the song was "Chaoyuan Song", and the lyrics were:

You are born young, once had a romantic nature, ruthless and affectionate, I only look at your smiling face to ask each other.I'm also smart in my heart, with a fake cruel face and a tough mouth.How can he respond to this shame when he wants to promise?I saw him being hypocritical, but I was always worried about him.I look at these shades of flowers and moonlight, so sad and cold, according to his loneliness, according to my loneliness.

At this point, Shui Xin saw that Zhu Ruxian and Wang Zhonghong were both happy, so she straightened her temples, and continued to sing with vigor:
The sound of your zither, the desolate charm, how can you ruin your youth!It is more jade, soft, fragrant and warm, and what is not touching?She takes care of Yaoqin by herself, and I am independent and cold.God, God!Early achievement of young Qin Jin, young Qin Jin.

After hearing this, Zhu Ruxian and Wang Zhonghong clapped their hands and laughed, "What a young Qin Jin." Then he ordered his attendants to fetch two red silks to reward Lingxin.

The song wine in this boat was drunk from noon to the west in the cold day, and the boat was already in the center of Taihu Lake.

Zhu Ruxian was a little drunk, looked at the figure in front of him, and took another glass of wine, but he didn't even drink it, and poured it directly into his bosom.

He couldn't help laughing and said, "When I'm drunk, I'll go to rest."

Wang Zhonghong said: "How is the eldest son?"

Zhu Ruxian reached out and hugged Lingxin beside him: "It's okay, let Lingxin serve me."

As he spoke, he got up unsteadily, and with the help of two attendants, he went to the elegant room behind the ship.

There is a large wooden bed in the elegant room, the satin quilt is brocade, and the charcoal basin is prosperous.

After Zhu Ruxian sat down, he stretched out his hands to untie Lingxin's dress in a daze, and said: "Little lady, come to bed with me to rest!
When the dress was half undone, revealing the mandarin ducks playing in the bellyband, Lingxin's face was pink, half pushed and half rejected, said: "Elder Master, Eldest Master, come slowly."

Zhu Ruxian smiled and said: "I can't be slow, I'm afraid the little lady will run away."

Lingxin smiled and said: "Where can I go on this lake in winter, if I don't drown, I will freeze to death." As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly, her cheek was half a minute closer to Zhu Ruxian.

Zhu Ruxian only felt like exhaling like orchids, and became more dizzy for a while, and wanted to open his mouth to make fun of a few more words, at this moment, Lingxin's mouth slightly opened, and a silver light flashed inside, and a cold light shot out.

Zhu Ruxian had also learned boxing and kicking, and when he suddenly saw the cold light, he was half sober from the wine immediately, and subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

It's a pity that the distance between the two of them is too close at this moment. Although the speed of the cold light is not as fast as the arrow, it is not slow at all. This time it shot straight into his throat.

He only felt weak all over, his eyes were wide open, and there was a "woo-woo" sound in his throat, and he barely raised a finger to the spiritual heart in front of him, with a shocked and unbelievable expression on his face.

Lingxin took a step back at this moment, with a smile on her small face, she said, "My lord, can this silver needle from my family be useful?"

At this moment, Zhu Ruxian's throat was sealed with a silver needle, he was already out of breath, his face turned blue and purple, how could he be willing to die like this, he couldn't help summoning up his remaining strength, and shouted indistinctly: "Come, come..."

Lingxin saw that his acupoint was sealed by his own silver needle, and he still had the strength to call for someone. His face turned cold, and he opened his mouth again, and another silver needle shot out, which hit Zhu Ruxian directly between the eyebrows. , and then she pushed out with another palm, hitting Zhu Ruxian in the chest, Zhu Ruxian immediately spat out blood, fell on his back on the bed and died.

At this moment, the outside seemed to hear the movement inside, and someone asked, "Eldest Young Master, what do you want?"

Lingxin glanced at the wooden door, tied up her dress in a calm manner, then took back two silver needles, and then walked towards the door.

She boarded the boat, her body had been searched long ago, she couldn't bring any weapons, only seven silver needles were hidden in her mouth, but this was enough for her, after all, except Wang Zhonghong, a master of the whole boat, She doesn't care about others.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, and when there was no response from inside, the wooden door was pushed open with a "bang", and then Wang Zhonghong appeared in front of the door.

Lingxin opened his mouth and spat out, and two silver needles were shot out, Wang Zhonghong immediately shuddered, and hurriedly dodged to the side, taking advantage of this vacancy, Lingxin's body was like a ghost, and he left the room in a flash.

Wang Zhonghong was caught off guard, so he came back to look into the room, and saw Zhu Ruxian lying on his back on the bed, with a pool of blood under his neck and chest, he couldn't help but his eyes were tearing apart, and he yelled: "Little bitch, how vicious, how vicious you are! Kill the eldest son! Come on, come on, catch this little bitch for me!"

At this time, although Lingxin fled out of Yashe, the soldiers outside drew their swords and surrounded her. Lingxin once again exhaled Qi and Qi needles, wounding three people in a row, grabbed a steel knife, and ran towards the cabin door .

At the cabin door, a group of Xiang troops from the Fengju Bureau blocked the way, but their spirit, mind and body skills were erratic, and they only used three or five moves, and killed a few more people.

At this time, Wang Zhonghong had already chased after him. In desperation, he didn't use any weapon, but just punched Lingxin's body.

His punches are fierce and fierce, and his momentum is astonishing. If he hits the body, he will break bones and tendons this time.

Lingxin's expression was dignified, this time she assassinated Zhu Ruxian, she was most afraid of this person, this Wang Zhonghong is well-known for his proficiency in martial arts, he is known as the number one fighter in Yingfeng Bureau.

Her feet were slippery, barely avoiding the punch, but the wind from the punch made her skin ache, and another officer and soldier slashed at her with a knife in front of her.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the cabin, and a loud voice shouted: "Miss Shui, I'm here to meet you."

Lingxin was overjoyed when he heard the words, and after dodging a few knives, he saw that the cabin door had been broken, and many officers and soldiers were chopped to the ground by a group of men outside.

A torch was lit outside, and under the torch stood a big man, seven feet five or six, about 27 or [-] years old, with three beards covering his mouth, a bamboo hat on his head, and a suit of white coarse cloth clothes. He wears a raw silk braided belt around the waist, and a pair of blue and white thick cloth hemp shoes.

Lingxin said happily: "Brother Shi!"

Wang Zhonghong could see clearly in the cabin at this time, and couldn't help shouting: "Shi Sheng, are you going to rebel? Don't forget that your family members are all in Suzhou City!"

The man sneered and said, "Commander Wang, are you insulting me for rebellion?"

At the moment Wang Zhonghong is one head and two big, this Shi Sheng is a hero from Suzhou, he is not comparable to ordinary thieves in the green forest, even his fists and kicks are extremely good.

This person has always lived in Suzhou, but he has never had any conflicts with the Yingfeng Bureau. Zhu Yu sent someone to monitor him for a while before, and he only saw that he was with high-ranking and unknown people, so he felt jealous , as long as he doesn't ruin the affairs of the bureau, he will go with him.

Zhu Ruxian was assassinated today, but he didn't expect this person to respond outside, Wang Zhonghong couldn't help being furious: "Shi Sheng, the eldest son was assassinated by this female thief, you and her accomplice, if it's not a rebellion, what is it!"

Shi Sheng glanced at him and didn't speak, he just used his eyes to signal Lingxin to come over quickly.

Where Wang Zhonghong hadn't seen him move, at this moment, he saw soldiers approaching from the stern of the boat outside, and couldn't help shouting: "Give it to me, it doesn't matter whether you live or die!"

As they spoke, the soldiers in the cabin also attacked outside, and immediately fought together.

Although Shi Sheng only brought seven or eight people with him outside, they were all brave and brave. Although some of them were already dying, they fought for their lives and retreated. Shi Sheng shouted: "Don't love to fight, get on the boat and go quickly."

Everyone jumped onto the boat one after another, Wang Zhonghong chased after him, and saw the two boats sailing away quickly, he couldn't help beating his chest and stamping his feet. Although there were soldiers on the boat, they didn't have bows and arrows, so they couldn't attack from a long distance. At this moment, they could only order the big boat. Shake your head to chase.

But at this moment, it is not as good as daytime, and the boat is not a warship, and the darkness on the lake is hard to see, so there is no way to chase it.

After a while, the boat couldn't even see a shadow, as if it had never appeared from the beginning to the end...
