"There is a wanted fugitive, whose surname is Han and Qing. He is about eight and a half feet tall and has no facial features. He is carrying a bay red horse, a big black horse, and a young girl with him. If anyone knows anything about it, please inform the government immediately. The reward is five
Congratulations. If you hide it and don't report it, you will be treated as a gangster..."
It cannot be said that the officials at all levels of the Yongxing Military Road in the Song Dynasty were procrastinating. At least they showed amazing efficiency in the matter of wanted Han Qing.
The morning before, the pacification envoy Xingyuan issued the order, and the next day, the sea arrest documents with Han Qing's face were posted all over Jingzhao Prefecture and all the counties under Shangzhou.
The third day is Huazhou, the fourth day is Yaozhou...
On the fifth day, notices were posted even in Guozhou and Shaanzhou in the east. The officials and the people worked together to hunt down Han Qing, the key criminal who "stealed and sold official grain, hijacked the chief bookkeeper, and forced the county magistrate to death"!
"This Han Qing is really heinous. The imperial court entrusted him with important responsibilities. Not only did he not know how to show gratitude, but after he took office, he actually colluded with the Sicang who was near the grain depot..." He knew a few words, and then
The ungrateful and half-hearted scholar stood in front of the wanted poster, explained its contents to the people, and kept adding his own comments.
It was as if they had seen Han Qing commit a crime with their own eyes and helped look after him at the scene.
The people watching the excitement were all filled with indignation. They all felt that if the crime was really as described by the half-hearted scholar, the villain named Han would not be unjust even if he was chopped into pieces by the government ten times!
Of course, the premise is that the government can catch Han Qing as soon as possible, then immediately try and convict him and take him to the execution ground.
Otherwise, maybe one day other completely opposite news will come. Everyone will talk about it and feel that Han Qing is unparalleled in loyalty and bravery, and the court should worship him as a general!
"It's rare, it's really rare. The Song Dynasty is really big enough. You can see all kinds of strange things in the territory!" Unlike ordinary people who like to "handle cases" based on rumors and personal feelings, in a teahouse in Shihao Town in the easternmost part of Shaanxi Province
, but there were four or five guests dressed as gentlemen, looking through the window at the wanted notice that had just been posted on the notice board beside the official road, sneering and commenting.
"Haha, this guy named Han is the only one who can get both the reward order and the wanted notice on the Yongxing Military Road!"
"Brother Shi was wrong. He first submitted the Jianghu Bounty Order, with a bounty of 10,000 hangings. Then he was placed on the government's wanted warrant, with a bounty of 5 hangings. There was a difference of more than ten days, and the price was two hundred times different!"
"No, no, Brother Helian is the one who is wrong. This man named Han was first secretly pursued by the government, and then he was offered a reward by the world. Finally, the government's pursuit of him turned from covert to obvious!"
"Brother Shi, Brother Helian, why do you two care about such minutiae? Is there any difference in who comes first and who comes last?"
"Brother Zhang has lived in Xiazhou for a long time and rarely comes to the Song Dynasty. He probably doesn't understand the tricks involved. The government is secretly pursuing him, but some officials want to deal with him, but they still care about the laws of the Song Dynasty court and the family behind him.
Power. If you accidentally beat him to death while arresting him, someone will definitely have to stand up and take the blame!"
"What Brother Helian said is correct. An open pursuit means that the Yongxing Army and others are confident enough to handle the case into a solid case so that he will never be able to escape no matter what! If he is caught,
, he dared to resist and was shot into a hedgehog on the spot, and no one would have to take responsibility for it later!"
"hiss--"
As he spoke, some people gasped.
Looking up, there is a bright sun hanging in the sky, and there is no trace of wind on the treetops, but people feel so cool in their hearts!
However, when I thought about it, all the dirty things happened on Yongxing Military Road, not Xiazhou. Everyone present was secretly grateful.
The stupidity and corruption of your opponents is your own luck.
Especially for Xiazhou Feilongsi Xizuo, who has his head stuck in his belt, the worse the Song government is, the safer they are in the Song Dynasty.
In the past two years, Xiazhou Feilong Division's meticulous work has been so successful in the Song Dynasty that it even unknowingly opened a contact point under the guise of a teahouse at the throat connecting North Beijing Road and Yongxing Military Road
, and it all depends on the "help" of the opponent!
Otherwise, no matter how capable they are and how cautious they are, how could they not expose even the slightest trace?
"Shi's knowledge is really short!" After a while, the tea guest who was called Brother Shi sighed and shook his head, "No wonder after the war last year, the second prince proposed to pursue the victory and sweep Guanlong. If I had known that the officialdom of the Song Dynasty was so corrupt,
I, Daxia, will refuse to negotiate for peace and march straight in!"
"The Second Prince has far-sightedness, which is beyond our reach. Previously, when he ordered the assassination of Han, we thought he was angry that Han was in Peony Pavilion and had ruined his face. Now we turn around and look at this move.
What a stroke of genius. Not only did the officialdom of Yongxing Road turn into a pot of porridge with the help of Han, but it also exposed all the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty!"
"Indeed, if the second prince hadn't ordered the assassination, the man surnamed Han would probably not be willing to fight with the man surnamed Zhou!"
"Driving the tiger to devour the wolf, this is a strategy to drive the tiger to devour the wolf. Although the second prince is young, he has mastered the art!"
…
In the blink of an eye, the discussion became louder again. This time, it was the craftsmen who openly praised Li Dezhao, the second son of Xia Guogong Li Jiqian, behind his back.
Although most of the people present knew in their hearts that Li Dezhao forced Xiazhou Xizuo to risk collective exposure and send kites to assassinate Han Qing purely to vent his private anger.
However, no one can deny that Li Dezhao's move was just right and achieved miraculous results that could not be achieved by others' careful planning.
This is the legendary luck. Even jealousy can stir up troubles along the way.
And for a son blessed with luck, his future will be limitless.
Xiazhou is no better than the Song Dynasty. When establishing an heir, they also pay attention to the order of seniority and youth.
The leader of the party members has always been whoever has the ability. When Li Jiqian trained his son, he also deliberately let the two brothers compete, and then selected the winner to pass on his legacy.
Judging from the current situation, Li Dezhao's chance of winning is obviously higher than that of his brother Li Deming.
Don't say anything else, just the fact that he dared to take the initiative to go to Bianliang as a hostage made all the craftsmen of Feilong Division give him thumbs up.
Let's look at what Li Dezhao did when he entered the Song Dynasty. Although on the surface he was touring the mountains and rivers and spending money to support the singer, secretly, he had a thorough understanding of the customs and defense conditions of the Song Dynasty in various places along the way.
Coupled with the damage he inadvertently caused to the internal affairs of the Song Dynasty, the results can be said to be quite brilliant. However, his brother Li Deming only had the courage to sit in the Xiazhou official office and talk nonsense. How could he have made any actual contributions to the Song Dynasty?
Therefore, if you bet on who will inherit Xiazhou in the future, the craftsmen of Feilong Division will most likely bet on Li Dezhao. Even if they are not in a hurry to take action, at least they will show enough respect and respect for this person in words.
Respected.
"You guys are so chatty, don't you have nothing else to do today?" Just as the craftsmen were talking lively, the door of the second floor of the teahouse was suddenly pushed open by someone. A smoky and charming woman,
Barged in directly.
"This subordinate has met Judge Bai!"
"What Judge Bai taught me! My subordinate was slacking off just now!"
…
All the tea guests stood up and bowed to the woman.
"It's good to know that you are slacking off. You might as well wake up in the future. Like just now, even if the secret sentry on the first floor is knocked down by a spy from the Imperial City Department of the Song Dynasty, you may not be able to hear it!" The woman known as Judge Bai waved her hand.
, scolding in a low voice.
There were obvious signs on her body that she had just had sex with someone. Everyone was experienced and could see it all at a glance. However, no one had the courage to talk back, so they just stood up straight.
"That's it! I will record this mistake first. If anyone makes another mistake in the future, I will settle it with him!" Seeing that everyone was sincere in admitting their mistakes, Bai Ze, the female judge of Xiazhou Feilong Division, waved her hand gently again.
"I just spent some time and found out Han Qing's latest location from Shihao Town inspector Sun Donglin."
When everyone listened carefully, they all became energetic. They all raised their heads and looked at the white red lips, as if flowers could spit out from the latter's mouth at any time.
"Huazhou, Fushui Town, two days ago, he injured an official who was blocking the road there and forced his way through." Bai Ze bent down, dipped some tea in his fingers, and quickly drew on the table.
"Three days ago, the location where he appeared was Furong Village. Further ahead, it was Jiming Mountain!"
Not everyone has been infiltrating the Song Dynasty for a long or short time, so not everyone is familiar with the place names on the Yongxing Military Road. However, after looking at the patterns Bai Ze sketched with tea, they can guess them immediately.
, Han Qing’s final destination of this trip is Bianliang.
"On all the roads to Bianliang, the government has set up roadblocks. No matter how powerful he is, it will be difficult for him to get through. What's more, he has a little girl with him!" Bai Ze just wanted to tell him.
Her conclusion does not require anyone's response at all.
Wiping her fingers casually on her lapel, she continued to add, "So, I guess it is more likely that he would choose to take a boat down the Yellow River. And by boat, there are two water checkpoints that he must go around.
Go, otherwise, once he is blocked on the boat, he will not be able to escape!"
"Lingbao and Pinglu!" The tea guest surnamed Shi was familiar with the waterway and immediately gave the answer.
"Yes!" Bai Ze glanced at him and nodded approvingly, "So, next, we will divide our troops into two groups. One group will lead twenty kites to look for him on the path near Lingbao. The other group will lead
I took thirty kites and went to Pinglu to look for them. I saw that there were not many paths that could bypass the two water passes, and after bypassing them, there would be no more than five paths that could lead back to the ferry."
"Catch him and take him quietly back to Xiazhou to wait for the second prince to deal with him!"
"Catch him, hand him over to the Song Dynasty government, and let them bite the dog!"
"Kill him and vent your anger on the second prince!"
"Please tell me what we should do, Judge Bai!"
The spirit of the craftsmen was once again high, and everyone was gearing up. It was as if they could push Han Qing to the ground with just a flick of their fingers.
Judge Bai Ze did not speak, only smiled and listened.
When everyone was tired of shouting, she pressed her hands down and shook her head with a smile: "The second prince has an order. This time, we neither catch him nor kill him. Instead, we try our best to
Help him escape!"
"What?"
"Judge Bai, what did you say?"
"Why does the second prince want us to help him?!"
Zhongxiao couldn't believe his ears and blurted out his questioning words.
"Why the second prince made such an arrangement, you don't need to explain to us!" Bai Ze suddenly raised his eyes, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Help him escape! Do it immediately. The second prince has changed his mind and wants to stay.
