Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 172 The Terrifying Hualien Sect

Things in the world are unpredictable, and they come up again and again.

The Jin army had just retreated from Bianliang City. Two days later, several major cases of assassinations of imperial officials by members of the Hualien Sect broke out in Bianliang City.

The prefect of Bianliang City led the public to handle the case urgently on the night of the Chinese Valentine's Day.

The long night passed bit by bit, and in the end, not even the slightest clue was found.

At first glance, it seems that the Hualien Sect committed crimes in Bianliang City very suddenly.

But it is not.

The people killed by the Hualien Sect in the past two days were all officials of the imperial court, and no one was a commoner with no origins.

The court officials were deeply favored by the emperor and were accompanied by at least four entourages when traveling.

It is enough to show that the Hualien Sect must have gone through some detailed planning before taking action.

The incident was such a sensation that it reached Emperor Huizong's ears on the night of the Qixi Festival.

At that time, Emperor Huizong was immersed in the warm and fragrant arms of his beloved concubine, unable to extricate himself.

Hearing the palace people mention this matter suddenly, Emperor Huizong was stunned in the arms of his favorite concubine.

Emperor Huizong still remembered that the Hualien Sect, a mysterious organization, had disappeared from the Song Dynasty as if it had evaporated three or four years after he ascended the throne.

Now, more than ten years have passed.

Looking back at the beginning, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty had never captured the leader of the Hualien Sect.

For a long period of time, the leader of the Hualien Sect became a huge concern for all officials from various states, provinces, and prefectures in the Song Dynasty.

What a sad thing. Now, just a few days after the Bianliang Defense Battle was completed, Bianliang City was finally defended.

Moreover, the Jin army has already retreated in a large scale, it is clear that the dust has settled, right?
As a result, the damned Hualien Sect popped up again.

On this morning after the Chinese Valentine's Day, the theme revolved around Hualien Religion.

As always, Emperor Huizong sat on the dragon chair, facing the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty below.

"Last night last night, I heard that the Hualien Sect committed a crime in the city, and I felt very worried."

"I haven't heard of these rebellious officials and traitors for many years."

"Now that they are committing crimes out of thin air in Bianliang City, I am really anxious and angry."

As soon as Emperor Huizong finished speaking, several voices came from below: "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body!"

Emperor Huizong sighed softly, his face expressionless and his expression listless.

Earl Ying looked at Cai Jing beside him, then at Emperor Huizong on the dragon throne, and frowned.

The first time he heard the words Hualien Sect was in Qinghe County.

That night, Linqing's general judge Wang Daokun was shot to death on Kangzhuang Avenue by Niu Tieshan, a member of the Hualien Sect's "Double Swordsman" Niu Tieshan.

At that time, Earl Ying was still a commoner, far inferior to what he is today.

Because Niu Tieshan, the "two swordsman who conquered mountains", was too ruthless, Earl Ying tried his best to be wary of the legendary Hualien Sect for a long time.

The second time Earl Ying heard about the Hualien Sect was that day when he was in his mansion and heard two Hualien Sect members talking softly from outside the wall.

At that time, Earl Ying also kept this matter in mind and planned to report it to the Ministry of War the next day, so that the Ministry of War could search the city for Hualien Sect members.

Then, the members of the Hualien Sect were brought to justice in one fell swoop.

But the next day, the Jin Kingdom suddenly went south to attack the Song Dynasty.

Immediately afterwards, there was a once-in-a-century battle to defend Bianliang.

At this moment, Earl Ying recalled the conversation he heard between the two Hualien Sect members that night in his house.

I couldn't help but feel a chill running down my spine.

At this time, Cai Jing knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, after the Battle of Bianliang, the power of our Song Dynasty army has become even more famous throughout the world. I believe that the three divisions will be able to capture the members of the Hualien Sect as soon as possible."

Emperor Huizong nodded, thought for a moment, frowned and said: "Since the beginning of my accession to the throne, the Hualien Sect has been a knot in my heart." "I remember that at that time, there were ministers who speculated and speculated that the Hualien Sect was Most of them were pretended by Liao people, and their purpose was to shake the hearts of the people of Song Dynasty."

"As a result, the Liao Kingdom has now been destroyed. The provinces north of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun and all the large and small cities in the former Liao Kingdom have now been occupied by the Jin people. What the minister said back then is no longer valid. The attack has broken itself."

After Emperor Huizong finished speaking, all the ministers agreed.

In fact, in Earl Ying's impression, Emperor Huizong was probably a strange man without any sparkle in his body.

Zhao Ji was born in the royal family since he was a child, and he was born with artistic bacteria.

All day long, my mind is full of poems and poems, famous calligraphy and paintings, fine wine and gardens.

He is really just a person who doesn't know what "sorrow" is.

But now when Emperor Huizong mentioned the Hualien Sect, he frowned.

Earl Ying thought to himself: Ouch!It seems that this Hualien Sect is really amazing.

I did know that the Hualien Sect has two masters. When it comes to committing crimes, everyone in the sect is a master.

ah!It turns out that the Hualian Sect is so powerful that it can even embarrass the king of a country.

Less than half a month had passed since the Bianliang Defense War ended, and the people in Bianliang City had just escaped from the daily high level of vigilance.

As a result, due to the sudden emergence of the Hualien Sect, the people fell into an atmosphere of panic again.

The government in Bianliang City temporarily summoned [-] police officers.

They were on duty all night in the outer city and inner city of Bianliang City. Once a member of the Hualien Sect showed up, they would be immediately brought to justice.

After retiring from the court that day, Earl Ying prepared to go home as soon as possible.

I plan to continue the spring night that I didn't finish last night with Pan Jinlian, Pang Chunmei, and Li Ping'er.

Unexpectedly, just halfway through, he suddenly saw two servants from Zhao Gou's house, blocking his way on the avenue.

"What's going on?"

Earl Ying was sitting in the sedan chair, looking at the two fearful and respectful young men kneeling on the ground, and asked loudly.

"Sir Ying, my King Kang invites you to sit in my house. It seems... My King Kang seems to be here to have a drink."

The two boys said in unison.

Earl Ying's thoughts were all about the three women at home, and he really had no interest in drinking with Zhao Gou now.

He clearly had already made up his mind, first sent those two young men away, and then went back to Zhao Gou's mansion.

In the end, for some reason, the two boys were determined to take him to Zhao Gou's house.

There is a tendency that she will not give up until she brings him to the house.

Earl Ying didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhao Gou's gourd, so he had no choice but to follow the two young men to Zhao Gou's mansion.

Not long after, Earl Ying arrived at Prince Kang's Mansion in Zhao Gou.

As soon as he walked in, Earl Ying saw Zhao Gou sitting in the study with Concubine Kang Xing Bingyi playing chess.

"Kang Kang is so elegant. He doesn't go out to visit relatives or friends in broad daylight. Instead, he stays indoors playing chess."

Earl Ying laughed loudly and came to Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou's face was full of seriousness, and he seemed to have no interest in joking with Earl Ying.

He just said to Xing Bingyi: "Madam, come and see Brother Ying."

Xing Bingyi immediately stood up, wished Earl Ying a long blessing, and said: "Brother Ying."

Earl Ying was stunned and quickly stretched out his hands in a gesture of refusal.

"You can't help but you can't help it. There are differences in status and status. How dare I let the princess call me this way?"
