Yanggu is only a small area, and its scale is not magnificent compared with other major cities. However, because of its special status and its hidden tendency to become the commercial center of the Song Dynasty, after the closure of Yanggu , The world is shocked.
Merchants in particular are in a state of panic all day long. They are used to getting goods from Yanggu, and they can earn a full salary, for fear that there will be variables in the transaction with Yanggu.
Of course, they didn't have the strength or courage to question Yanggu, and they could only wait for the court's questioning.
The imperial court moved quickly, and the soldiers stationed outside the city immediately came to inquire. However, in the face of the two thousand men and horses guarding the wall in Yanggu, they did not dare to act rashly.
Yanggu is the birthplace of Wuhan University, it is too special here, not to mention the fact that the Song Dynasty is now in the midst of faltering, they absolutely dare not go to war with Yanggu easily.
In the end, Nalan Lengyan, the magistrate of Yanggu County, dressed in white, went out of the city in person, so there was an explanation for the reason why Yanggu closed the city.
"Last night on New Year's Eve, Wu Mansion was attacked by a large-scale killer. At this time, Wu Mansion was searching and arresting." Nalan Lengyan said.
Regardless of whether the court is satisfied with this explanation, whether it is true or false, the soldiers can only report it according to the facts.
As for the county officials, they have already been driven out of the city.
In fact, since the prefectural magistrate was shot and killed by the Wu University, the officials sent by the imperial court have been very stable, and the Wufu in Suri hasn’t been too slow to treat them, eat and drink and have fun, and there are red envelopes during the holidays, husband. What do you want? Still want to drop
Then, in the next few days, under the personal leadership of Yanggu County Magistrate Nalan Lengtian, the terrain south of Yanggu was surveyed and a new type of commercial gathering area was established here.
Although this is a mountainous area, it doesn't matter, just bomb it flat.
Of course, Yang Gu would not be so stupid that he used the sky-shaking thunder, but led by Nalan Lengyan, like the court applying for black powder.
At the same time, the identities in the city were suspicious and those who could not be verified were all "invited" out of the city.
The Su's private school was in the middle of the vacation, and Song Zining had spared more things to help Chen Xi make plans and take control of Yanggu together.
…
The wheel of history is constantly rolling, and the time is already at the beginning of 1125 AD.
Bianjing, the Great Capital of Song Dynasty, is as prosperous as ever, but this year's new year is not as happy as in previous years after all. It always feels that there is an undercurrent flowing in it, and even ordinary people feel this uneasy atmosphere and become cautious. .
In fact, except for the young children who are still carefree, most people feel a little flustered.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, there was a long absence from the court, and there was a special guest in the Taishi Mansion of the current dynasty.
The guest came in a dilapidated small sedan chair, entered through the back door, and went straight to the backyard without getting off the sedan chair.
The sedan chair stopped just outside a greenhouse.
Everyone was drunk, including the manpower of the Taishi Mansion was also emptied. Cai Jingcai's old butler personally lifted an old man with a crane out of the sedan chair.
It's Zhou Dong.
Today’s Zhou Dong has the official position of Tai Fu, ranked San Gong, and is a well-deserved member of the First Grade. He can directly participate in the formulation and decision-making of military affairs. However, the emperor often becomes the true ruler when he is young or the imperial family is weak. There is a fine line between Taishi.
However, as we all know, Zhou Tong and Cai Jing are not in harmony. Many years ago, the two of them were in the same situation. Of course, Zhou Tong had no resistance at that time. Cai Jing suppressed it very badly. Now if outsiders know that Zhou Tong visits Tai in person. Shifu, I'm afraid it will be shocked.
In the conservatory, Cai Jing, who claims to be sick all the year round at home, is lying on a recliner, leaning against the stove, while a pot of wine is being warmed on the stove.
On his side, there was another reclining chair, which was obviously reserved for Zhou Tong, and between the two chairs, there was a small round table with a few dishes on the table.
"Big Brother Yuan (Cai Jing, with long characters), I haven't seen you for many days. Your little days are getting more and more comfortable!"
Zhou Tong walked into the greenhouse and greeted Cai Jing with a smile. He sat down and lay down on the recliner. He picked up the jug and drank a cup of his own. After a while, he felt comfortable. :
"Sure enough wine."
Cai Jing couldn't comment, and said with a smile: "The rare old friend is here, I naturally won't hide, this is a good wine that has been buried for more than 20 years."
Like the two of them who are proficient in the city, scheming, and through the wind and rain, even if they secretly want to curse the other party to die, they will not do anything improperly, even if it is a bad word, they will owe it to each other. Treating other people more like old friends.
Zhou Tong nodded slightly, and after a careful aftertaste, he picked up a piece of pork head on the table, chewed slowly, and said:
"You old man, now you are really at ease."
The old butler poured wine for the two of them, Cai Jing toasted, took a sip, and said lightly: "If you have no desire, you will be strong. When people come to tease the old man, there are naturally no taboos, and they are very happy. In a few days, the old man wants to take a concubine, and the old friend must enjoy the face and drink a glass of wedding wine."
"puff!"
Zhou Tong glanced at Cai Jing's crotch weirdly, and narrowly said: "Old guy, are you sure that the old thing under your crotch can still be used? Will you get wet shoes when you go to the latrine to urinate at night? You still don't know how to be ashamed! "
Cai Jing didn't have the slightest embarrassment, and sneered, "I don't need to worry about the three daughters of the royal family every night!"
Zhou Tong rolled his eyes and said, "Just blow it, and when you are young, do you have to urinate against the wind?"
Cai Jing smiled and put a broad bean in his mouth. After holding it for a while, he spit it out again. He sighed, "Old man, it's really old, I'm so old..."
Zhou Tong's lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything.
After being silent for a long time, Cai Jing suddenly said: "The old man has worked hard all his life and has never done anything truly extraordinary. Now the few children that the old man has been optimistic about have died, and there are only a few ineffective sons left under his knees. The old man has nothing to worry about, and wants to be crazy."
This is very abrupt, but it is clearly meant.
Zhou Tong didn't seem surprised at all. He drank the wine in his glass, got up, bowed a bow, turned his head and left.
The two didn't seem to say anything, but they seemed to have said everything that was supposed to be said, and everything was silent.
When he reached the door, Zhou Tong suddenly stopped, but did not turn around, he just said lightly: "Elder Brother Yuan, his son is gone, and his grandson. If you want, you can pick a few and send it to Yanggu... or even Yanyun. It’s okay."
After that, Zhou Tong stopped staying and left.
Cai Jing smiled silently and drank the remaining half pot of wine in one go.
