Chapter 201 Sad Things

A night of east wind, blowing down snowflakes all over the sky, several pipas, how many sad past events, panic, swords and shadows, when looking back, yin and yang are separated, mourning, painful, painful...

"I don't understand. Can you speak more plainly!" Zhao Ze said to Zeng Gong.

"popular? Oh, please forgive me. I suddenly remembered the sad events of the Southern Dynasty for thousands of years, and I had a lot of emotions. Unconsciously... Cough!" Zeng Gong wiped his tears and continued.

I went to Beijing to take the exam this year. I thought I would take a Jinshi background, but I didn't know that there was an unexpected situation, so I failed. After losing his soul for more than half a month, he met a nobleman, who was his mentor, Mr. Ouyang Yongshu, the governor of the Court. Lord Zhao, do you know your teacher?

"Know, know, it's Mr. Ouyang Xiu!"

"Exact"

My teacher told me not to be discouraged. I should continue to study. It is not bad for my life to experience a few more times. What's more, the Tao is under my feet. How can I understand the profound truth if I don't experience it myself? Since the teachers have said so, I left the capital and planned to continue to study, go boating south, and go to my hometown in Fuzhou.

When I walked to Chenliu, I suddenly remembered that there was a distant relative in Zengtou Village, Rencheng County, Jeju. When I was a child, my parents took me there once, which was considered to go back to my hometown to worship my ancestors. Later, I kept exchanging letters with my cousins in Zengtou Village. This year, when I went to Beijing to take the entrance examination, I also received a letter from my cousin, saying that the exam was over. Go to his house and talk about the past.

In order to keep the agreement, after leaving Chen Liucheng, I went ashore and took the east to Zengtou Village, Jeju.

I met my cousin Zeng An, as well as my grandfather, uncles, and the Zeng sisters. I got along very happily. After several months, I spent it in Zengtou Village. There are many well-learned people in the village, and they have gained a lot of knowledge with these people. Grandpa Zu also beied a marriage for me. The woman's family is Jiaxiang's daughter and a scholarly family, and she is a good acquaintance with Grandpa Zu.

I planned to leave Zengtou Village and go home in another month. Unexpectedly, typhoid fever suddenly broke out in Jeju. The trip home was stranded, so I had to send a letter to my family to report that I was safe, and then studied hard with my cousin Zeng An in the village to avoid this disaster.

However, the disaster fell from the sky, which was not long after typhoid fever. At that time, it snowed heavily in Jeju. It snowed heavily for a long time. The old and young in Zengtou Village did not wake up for a few nights. At dawn, they would go out to shovel snow. Otherwise, the village would be buried in the heavy snow and people and animals would die.

Master Zu told us that this heavy snow was punishing us by God. Because the court was incompetent in political affairs, the people suffered. He needed to go to the Temple of Loyalty and offer incense, and asked the gods to bless everyone and bless Zengtou Village!

I guess this is fate. If Mr. Zu didn't go to the Zhongxiao Temple to give incense, he would not be injured by the officers and soldiers, and Zeng An would not take the villagers to intercept the army. However, this is not our fault, but the officers and soldiers are really hateful. Even if they are unreasonable, they don't have to raise their hands and kill people.

Zeng An couldn't reason with the leading general but was killed. More than that, those crazy officers and soldiers actually slaughtered the village and killed a chicken and dog all over Zengtou Village. If it hadn't been for my life to hide in the heavy snow and have been cut off, I would have become the wronged soul under the knife. Hateful, hateful, Lord Zhao, you must make the decision for me. Ah!

"This... It's true!" Zhao Ze looked at Zeng Gong sympathetically. After thinking about it, he asked him, "Do you know the name of the general who killed your Zengtou village?"

"I don't know," Zeng Gong replied painfully.

"This is difficult to do. If you don't even know the general's last name, be careful that some departments in the court will falsely accuse you. Now the status of martial arts are low enough. The Privy Council and the Military Department are out of their noses. This..."

"Your Excellency, why is it so difficult? As long as you can take me to Beijing, the students will go to the Drum Court, beat the drums and complain, and let everyone in the court know that the officers and soldiers in Jeju are not as good as pigs and dogs. It is simply unreasonable to kill innocent people. Let the scholars all over the world come to fight against that group of villains."

"Such" Zhao Ze suddenly fell into trouble. He said that Zengtou Village was slaughtered a few days ago. A few days ago, it was windy and snow. Where did the team of officers and soldiers come from? Wasn't Juye occupied by the believers of Maitreya? Could it be said that it was a defeated army and retreated to Rencheng County? However, it doesn't make sense. Since it is a local army, it is not It may have killed his fellow villagers. Even if it is the leader's pervert, he killed Zeng Gong's cousin Zeng An in anger. His men are not all crazy. Killing a person is two concepts to kill the whole village. In this way, it does not mean that everyone is trapped. At that time, even if something happens, no one can run away, in order to cover up this. Tragedy, those soldiers may also make a series of confessions up and downs and refuse to admit it. Even if you once sue the official, it is estimated that it will be difficult and difficult to find the real murderer, unless...

Zhao Ze sighed, "Unless Bao Heizi is alive!"

"Who is Bao Heizi? What's the matter with him going to Beijing with his students!" Zeng Gong asked puzzledly.

"Ah, Bao Heizi is your Song Dynasty..." Zhao Ze said something wrong for a moment and quickly changed his words, "It's the most selfless, the most jealous, the most ruthless, the most just and honest Master Qingtian!"

"Ah, is there such a number one person in the Song Dynasty? Please forgive the student's ignorance. I have never heard of this person!"

"I haven't heard that it doesn't mean that there is no such person. I remember this person's name is Bao... Bao Longxing? No, it's not Bao Longxing, it's Bao?"

"Lord Bao!" Zeng Gong took a sentence.

"Of course, it's your adult. Is it Brother Bao?" After Zeng Gong's reminder, Zhao Ze suddenly remembered, "by the way, it should be called Bao Zheng, who is the magistrate in Kaifeng Mansion. Didn't you hear people mention Bao Zheng, the iron-faced judge who sits in the office of Kaifeng Mansion, and there are three guzzles on the lobby of the Yamen, which are the dragon's head. , tiger-headed gull, dog-headed gull, kill the sycophant, notar and honest, but as long as anyone who commits a traitor is caught by Lord Bao Zheng, he will have a good end. He either beheaded or loses his head. I remember that there is another song sung by Lord Bao. I remember that the song is sung like this:

There is a Bao Qingtian in Kaifeng, and he is selfless to distinguish loyal and treacherous

Jianghu heroes came to help, and the dynasty and Mahan were by their side

The drilled rat is as light as smoke, and the gopher is a good man

The mountain rat's iron-armed magic fist, and the river rat's skills are extraordinary

The brocade mouse is full of courage, and these five mice are knotted with golden orchid

Seven heroes and five righteousness are spread among the people"

After all, it is a classic ballad of later generations. The rhythm and tune are very beautiful, very escorted and very harmonious. Even Zeng Gong is fascinated by it. He said that Lord Zhao is not only eloquence, but also sings so well. He is a rare and rare talent!

Shangguan Mei stood aside and listened attentively. She unconsciously followed Zhao Ze and hummed, saying that it was an interesting song. Is there really such a good official in Kaifeng?
