The Jinjin Hall is equipped with Wangji Pavilion, Apgu Pavilion, Guanyu Pavilion, Kangyuan Garden, etc., which are not only magnificent, but also elegant. 『Fu Xiang, the scar-faced tiger man next to Bian Xiang, spat and cursed: 』 You thief! Those corrupt officials will enjoy the blessings. I don’t know how much money it will cost to buy such a house. How many villagers can it feed?"
Bian Xiang saw a stone tablet in the courtyard, inscribed with the eight characters "Two dynasties took care of fate and made decisions." It was transferred to the west chamber, and there were also the tablet of Zhoujin Hall and other inscriptions. Although Bian Xiang was born as a farmer, he He also knew some words. He stared at the stele of Zhoujin Hall and murmured: "Officials come to generals and prime ministers, and riches return to their hometowns. This is the honor of human kindness, and it is the same today and in the past... "
While Bian Xiang was looking at himself, another brother of his, Jingang Guanyan, came over with an angry look and cursed: "It belongs to his grandmother! There is gold and silver in that row of houses, but it is all a collection of bullshit books that are useless!?"
After the Hebei Southern Army entered Anyang, Xiangzhou, the bandits from various villages planned to plunder the mansions of wealthy officials in various places in the city, and then turned south to Hedong Road. Zhang Di saw Bian Xiang's bravery and was determined to win over him. Seeing this in Anyang City, Zhoujintang seemed to be the richest place, so he and his subordinate Hedong were asked to search the place personally so that he could take advantage of it.
At this time, all the servants in the Zhou Jin Hall were driven to one place. Although they were all from the palaces of important officials and nobles, they saw that Bian Xiang's men were menacing and carrying gleaming weapons. They also faintly heard the cries of the people outside. There were other thieves who went out to do evil, and everyone was trembling with fear and dared not speak.
After reading the monument, Bian Xiang saw that the servants in the mansion were all wearing white cloth and wearing mourning, so he asked an old steward in the mansion: "Here are Han Zhongxian, the prime minister of the three dynasties, and his eldest son, Han Shipu, the minister of Xuanfeng who also served as prime minister. His former residence? Are there any funerals in the house?"
The prime minister of the three dynasties that Bian Xiang asked about, Han Zhongxian Gong, was Han Qi, a famous minister who served as prime minister for ten years and passed through the three dynasties of Song Renzong, Yingzong, and Shenzong. Han Shipu, the official of Xuanfeng, refers to Han Qi's eldest son, who also served as prime minister. Han Zhongyan.
The Xiangzhou Han family (also known as the Zhending Han family) began with Han Qi. It can definitely be said to be a wealthy family in the Song Dynasty. Most of their descendants served as officials in the court. Although Han Qi's eldest son Han Zhongyan was once included in the Yuanyou Party, he was banned by the Song Dynasty. Huizong Zhao Ji and Cai Jing were squeezed out by new party officials, but the Han ethnic group was deeply rooted in the court and often married into other famous families. Today, it still has considerable influence in the court.
Although Bian Xiang was born in a farmer's family, he also knew about the Han clan in Xiangzhou, which was very famous in the Song Dynasty. Seeing Bian Xiang's explanation, the old steward had no choice but to reply: "I would like to teach this king to know that my master of the Han Mansion proclaims The official Yi Guogong passed away a few days ago, so they built a coffin and put up a spiritual curtain and a spiritual plaque to enclose and offer sacrifices to him."
"That's it..." Bian Xiang nodded and sighed: "It turns out that Mr. Han Xianggong passed away."
After Fu Xiang heard this, he immediately said with joy: "Good luck! This Laoshizi Zhoujin Hall was actually the residence of several prime ministers? A careful search will surely bring many benefits!"
"No!" Bian Xiang said flatly: "Han Zhongxian, a veteran of the three dynasties, had a very good reputation when he was in office. I have never heard that his eldest son, Han Shipu, broke bones and sucked marrow when he was an official, causing harm to the people. We kill corrupt officials, rob the rich and give to the poor. You can do everything, but you can't be a good official!"
After Guan Yan heard this, he immediately shouted: "Brother, why are you doing this!? We are enemies with the government, and we are responsible for losing our heads if we are taken away by the government. How can we still be grateful to my brother? Since this Han government Yin Fu, how can we not steal him!?"
Bian Xiang's round eyes widened and he scolded: "If you still recognize me as your eldest brother, then shut up! I, Bian Xiang, stand upright, and I can do everything I want to do, including beheading, but I can't do anything that goes against my heart." Do!"
When Guan Yan saw Bian Xiang's anger, although he was not angry, he could only keep silent. Fu Xiang, the scar-faced tiger, frowned and muttered: "Han Zhongxian Gong...could it be the one called Han Qi?...This The name sounds so familiar..."
Fu Xiang suddenly thought about it and said angrily: "Could it be that the prostitute who ordered the prostitute to humiliate the nirvana general Di Tiantang as a spot, killed the hero and said, 'The one who sang the number one scholar outside Donghua Gate is a good man. Isn't this? That Han Qi!? I’m his ancestor! Big brother! That’s a sycophant who harmed Wu Quxing, he’s a good official!?!?”
The reason why Fu Xiang was angry was that many people in the world admired famous officials and generals such as Di Qing and Yang Jiajiang since the founding of the Song Dynasty. And he had heard in the market that Mr. Shu talked about the relationship between Han Qi and Di Qing, the Privy Councilor during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty. Conflict. In the Pinghua stories told by folk storytellers in the Song Dynasty, both Di Qing and the Yang family generals who gradually spread are full of sadness, and there is no shortage of scenes where they are framed by the treacherous ministers.
For example, Pan Mei, the famous founding hero of the Song Dynasty, to be fair, his military exploits for the Song Dynasty were definitely greater than those of the first generation Yang family general, Yang Ye, Yang Laolinggong. However, because he was responsible for the death of Yang Ye in battle, he was promoted and demoted. Pan Mei was scolded as the treacherous minister Pan Renmei in the storytelling novel. There was indeed a conflict between Han Qi and Di Qing back then, so according to Fu Xiang's intuitive impression, he regarded Han Qi as the treacherous minister Quan Renmei.
The old steward of Zhoujintang was secretly relieved after listening to Bian Xiang's words, but when he saw another fierce thief yelling curses, his heart immediately rose to his throat. But Bian Xiang shook his head and said: "You and I They are all rough men. Although there was some quarrel between Duke Han Zhongxian and General Mian Nie back then, how could you and I know the details? People in the market speak plainly in books, and the words of one family are not enough to win your trust!"
Bian Xiang comforted the old steward and said, "Don't worry, as long as I am here, other strong men will not come to this Zhoujin Hall to stir up trouble. After three or two hours, our brothers and other strong men will leave Anyang City. I will never harm any of the men and women in this house."
The old steward immediately bowed to him and thanked him without saying a word. Bian Xiang said a few more words of comfort. Suddenly he noticed something was wrong. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "That's not right! Since Mr. Pu of Han is the eldest son of the Han family in Xiangzhou, now he has The bones are not yet cold, so why don’t we see the other descendants of the Han family coming to mourn and observe mourning!?"
The old steward's heart skipped a beat, hesitating and hesitating. When Bian Xiang asked a few more questions, he heard his brother Qingzhu Snake Kou Chen shouting in the inner hall: "What a bunch of birds, so cunning, hiding here!" "
After Bian Xiang heard this, he led a group of minions into the inner hall. It turned out that Kou Chen had hidden it from Bian Xiang. When he was searching for property in the inner hall, a small leader accidentally lifted up a piece of floorboard. There was a rope head under the board, and Kou Chen would When the rope head was pulled, a cellar was revealed.
Bian Xiang looked over and saw that there were forty men and women hiding in the cellar. The crowd looked panicked. Some of the men were wearing official Yanju uniforms, and some were wearing mourning clothes. Bian Xiang snorted coldly and said: "It turns out that all the gentlemen are hiding here!"
It turned out that in February of this year, Han Zhongyan entered the official position as a Xuanfeng doctor, and his health deteriorated a few months later. At this time, the prefect of Xiangzhou was Han Zhongyan's eldest son, Han Zhi. Seeing that his father was critically ill, he sent letters to inform people of the Han family who were serving in various places. Clan children.
Han Zhongyan is the head of the Han family in Xiangzhou. His sons Han Za, Han Hao and Han Cheng rushed to Anyang in Xiangzhou after hearing the news. In addition, except for Han Zhongyan's third brother Han Liangyan who died early, his sixth brother-in-law Han Jiayan is still in Bian.
Outside Liang, his second brother Han Duanyan, a good official from the right, his fourth brother Han Chunyan, a direct bachelor of Huiyou Pavilion, his fifth brother Han Cuiyan, Changping Si Tiju of Jingdong Road, and his nephews Han Zhao, Han Jie, Han Zhen and other descendants have no official ties.
Most of them returned to their hometown in Anyang, Xiangzhou to mourn.
But he didn't expect that Zhang Di broke through Anyang City. Han Zhi, the prefect of Xiangzhou, saw that the rebel army was strong, so he had to teach his uncles, cousins and family members to hide in the secret room of the mansion. However, they were killed by Bian Xiang's subordinate Kou Chen.
Broken.
The Xiangzhou Han family was famous throughout the Song Dynasty and most of their descendants were officials in the imperial court. At this time, most of their descendants fell into the hands of the bandits in southern Hebei!
The descendants of the Han family from a well-known family saw countless bandits holding sharp knives and looking at themselves up and down with unkind expressions. Most of them turned pale. Among them, the third son of Han Zhongyan, Han Hao, had a strong temperament (in the Southern Song Dynasty, he guarded Weizhou as a Fengzhi doctor. The second son of Jianyan
When the Jin Kingdom's cavalry attacked the city, Han Hao led his troops to defend the city. After the city fell, he fought with the Jurchens in the streets and died in the battle.) He pointed at Bian Xiang and shouted angrily: "That thief! You dare to do something wrong! My Han family is from a famous family.
, How can I allow you to be insulted!?"
Fu Xiang pouted and cursed: "You are such a dog official, how can you act like a bird official? If you fall into the hands of grandpa, grandpa will only treat you as a licensed product! How dare you have sex with grandpa!?"
Youdao is the Green Bamboo Snake's mouth, and the back needle of the Wasp's tail. Kou Chen's nickname is Green Bamboo Snake, and he is the most vicious among the four people including Bian Xiang.
It just has a head. When I chop off the donkey heads of you officials one by one, will you be able to grow another head?"
Han Hao took a few steps forward, stood in front of Han's uncles and clan brothers, and shouted: "The imperial court failed to suppress thieves, and that's why you thieves are so rampant today! If you want to kill me, kill me, so that the world will know that the imperial court is still passionate.
A loyal and good man!"
"Third brother! Shut up!" Han Zhi, the eldest son of Han Zhongyan, shouted in a deep voice. Then he stared at Bian Xiang with a determined look on his face and said, "Is this good man the leader of the Zhoujin Hall of my Han family? I would like to ask your Excellency for advice.
What are you going to do with us?"
Bian Xiang was silent and glanced around the children of the Han family in Xiangzhou. Although Han Zhi, Han Hao, Han Duanyan, Han Chunyan, Han Cuiyan and other senior court officials looked angry, they were all uneasy. There were cruel people everywhere in the green forest.
, even if they don’t kill them one by one, they will be escorted out of the city and humiliated...
Thinking of this, Han Zhi, Han Hao, Han Duanyan and others were all frightened. At that time, the famous wealthy family of the Han family in Xiangzhou and the Song Dynasty officialdom would be embarrassed. How could they have the face to meet their ancestors, the loyal father Han Qi!
?
"I didn't expect that you, a young man in the government office, would be a good person!" Bian Xiang suddenly smiled slightly, and after speaking to Han Hao, he turned to Han Zhi and said: "You wait and hide on the ground, and wait for us brothers and other people."
Don't come out before the strongman leaves Anyang."
After saying that, Bian Xiang turned around and left. Han Zhi, Han Hao and others couldn't believe their ears. The angry-eyed Vajra Guanyan stopped Bian Xiang, glared at him, and said: "Brother, we caught a group of high-ranking officials.
This matter is no small matter! Even if I don’t want to hurt their lives, why not report it to Alliance Leader Zhang? If you capture these government officials, won’t you show your abilities even more?”
Bian Xiang laughed loudly and said: "What do I need to do to show off my ability by catching some officials who have no power to restrain a chicken? Even if the officials and the gangsters are not at odds, this group of people came to mourn the elder of the same clan, Mr. Han Shipu. They fell into my hands. Even if they are handed over to Leader Zhang, it is not ethical! Let’s go! Besides, I have already said that I only kill corrupt officials, not good officials!”
"Good man, please stay!" Han Zhongyan's second brother, Han Duanyan, who is an official on the right and a good doctor, called Bian Xiang, bowed and said: "Listen to what this good man said, he is also a glorious and magnanimous righteous man, so why bother Falling off the grass to become the bandits? We are grateful for the righteous man's kindness and are willing to guaranty the righteous man..."
"Hold on!" Bian Xiang interrupted Han Duanyan and sneered: "I will let you go just because Mr. Han Zhongxian and Mr. Han Shipu have a good name, not to curry favor with some powerful people! If the court had fewer evil officials and evil officials, , why do we brothers rebel? Just save your life and return it to the people under your rule, but if you want to persuade me to submit, there is no need to waste your words!"
