The fleet left the Huaihe River in the evening and diverted from Linhuai County to Sishui, out of the reach of Li Zhongchen's influence. At this time, the fleet was in Sizhou. Although Sizhou was not Tian Shenyu's territory, it already belonged to Tian Shenyu.
sphere of influence.
Moving forward from Sizhou is Xuzhou, and after Xuzhou is Bozhou, then Songzhou, and then Bianzhou. Xu, Bo, Song, and Bianzhou are all the core areas of Tian Shenyu, unlike Li Zhongchen, Yangzhou, and Chuzhou.
In his territory, he had to pretend to be a water pirate to rob the ship.
Tian Shenyu does not need it at all. He can seize the fleet with just one order. Tian Shenyu is originally a person who plucking feathers from flying geese. In addition, his financial resources are tight. This time, if the tax ship comes to Beijing, he will not get millions of dollars.
It will allow the tax boat to leave easily.
Sure enough, ten days later, shortly after the fleet entered Bianzhou, Tian Shenyu sent 10,000 troops to detain the fleet outside Kaifeng County on the grounds that the imperial court had owed the Bian Song army 500,000 guan in military expenses for ten years.
Liu Yan was so anxious that he ordered Luo Ziyu to guard the fleet. On the other hand, he wrote an urgent letter to the capital, asking the court to pressure Tian Shenyu to release the ship.
A few days later, the emperor Li Yu issued an edict, ordering Li Lingyao, the commander of Hulao Pass, to lead an army of 30,000 troops to garrison at the junction of Zheng and Bian. He also gave Liu Yan an imperial edict, requiring Tian Shenyu to release the ship immediately.
But Tian Shenyu was unmoved and insisted that he would only let the fleet go west after the court paid 500,000 yuan in military expenses.
Kaifeng County is a majestic county with a wide and tall city. The county has a population of more than 10,000 households and the business is very prosperous. The Bian Song Jiedu Mansion is located in the north of the county, covering an area of hundreds of acres. In addition to the official government office and the back house, there is also a building that can accommodate
A military camp of three thousand soldiers.
The government office is majestic, with eighteen soldiers holding arms standing on the eighteen steps. On both sides of the steps is a huge white jade lion with stone balls under its feet, showing compassion for all living beings.
Opposite the official government office, there is a large-scale restaurant called Tian's Restaurant. It was invested and built by the Tian family. It is also the largest restaurant in Kaifeng County and its business is very prosperous.
In the evening of this day, the business of Tian's Restaurant was as booming as ever. All three floors were full. Guo Song and Sun Xiaozhen were sitting at a small table in the innermost corner by the window. Guo Song drank wine slowly and stared at
Jiedufu is not far away.
At this time, a gorgeous carriage stopped in front of the mansion. There were dozens of cavalry guards around the carriage. Sun Xiaozhen whispered: "Tian Shenyu is famous for being particular about ostentation. From the official office in the front to the mansion in the back, there is clearly a door
The small door is connected, but he refuses to use the small door. He insists on taking a horse-drawn carriage to go around and enter through the gate of the mansion at the back."
At this time, three people came out of the official gate, followed by two generals. The leader was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with medium build and dark skin. He was wearing a purple third-grade official uniform with a jade belt around his waist and a haircut.
Wearing a gauze hat, he looks very serious.
Guo Song asked: "Is the one in front Tian Shenyu?"
Sun Xiaozhen nodded, "That's him!"
Sun Xiaozhen spent more than half a year in Kaifeng County two years ago, and the situation here is relatively familiar.
He then said to Guo Song: "Look at the general on the left, his name is Yang Huiyuan, the general on the right is named Xing Yanen, plus the general who besieged our fleet, Fan Zhixin, these three are known as the Three Tigers of Bian and Song. They are all very powerful in martial arts. The three of them are
The three of them were originally stationed in Songzhou, Bozhou and Xuzhou. It was rumored that Tian Shenyu was worried about the three of them, so he recalled them all and replaced them with his own confidants."
Guo Song took a closer look at the three of them and saw Tian Shenyu getting on the carriage. The other two generals stood respectfully in front of the carriage with an unusually respectful attitude and kept watching the carriage go away.
But after the carriage drove away, the two of them didn't say a word anymore. They walked away like strangers to each other. Guo Song thoughtfully asked, "Do Yang Huiyuan and Xing Yanen have a conflict?"
Sun Xiaozhen thought for a while and said: "Yang Huiyuan and Fan Zhixin have a deep feud. It seems that they killed their wives and children. This is an open secret. Everyone in Bian and Song Dynasties knows it, but there is no conflict between Yang Huiyuan and Xing Yanen."
At this time, an old man next to him said slowly: "Originally, Yang Huiyuan and Xing Yanen had a child-daughter engagement. At the beginning of the year, Xing Yanen broke the engagement and let his son marry Tian Shenyu's daughter. Yang Huiyuan fell out with him. Now Xing Yanen and Fan Zhixin are working together to deal with it.
Yang Huiyuan, this is Tian Shenyu’s method, using one marriage to sow discord between the three of them."
Guo Song asked with a smile: "Speaking of it this way, doesn't Yang Huiyuan hate Tian Shenyu deeply?"
The old man looked both ways and whispered: "There are rumors that Li Zhengji, the governor of Ziqing, was secretly wooing Yang Huiyuan. I don't know if it is true or not?"
After saying that, the old man waved his hands to the two of them and whispered: "This restaurant is opened by Tian Shenyu, who has many eyes and ears. Don't talk about them anymore, so as not to get into trouble."
Guo Song quickly clasped his fists in thanks and said, "Thank you, husband, for reminding me!"
Not long after, the old man checked out and left. At this time, it was almost dark. Guo Song said to Sun Xiaozhen: "Act according to the plan I gave you, do you understand?"
"I see!"
Sun Xiaozhen also got up and left in a hurry.
Guo Song drank a few more glasses of wine alone, then paid the bill, got up and went downstairs.
He lived in an inn not far away. Soon after Guo Song returned to his room, it was completely dark.
Guo Song then changed into a black warrior uniform, put a mask on his face, carried his bow and arrows and black sword behind his back, and packed everything up. Under the cover of the night, he turned around and left the inn, facing Tian Shenyu's
Touch the mansion...
Sun Xiaozhen left the city and rode to the pier outside the city. To the south of the pier, there was a tax fleet of more than twenty miles long moored. Ten thousand troops were stationed on the shore to guard this fleet.
However, Tian Shenyu still did a good job on the surface. He asked the court to actively donate 500,000 yuan instead of grabbing tax money himself.
It shows that the guarding army and the fleet are in peace. The troops on the shore do not harass the money transport fleet, but the premise is that the fleet must be anchored on the shore honestly. Once it leaves without permission, the consequences will be serious.
Sun Xiaozhen found the first ship and saw Luo Ziyu at a glance. Sun Xiaozhen quickly waved and shouted: "General Luo!"
Luo Ziyu quickly asked Sun Xiaozhen to get on the boat and asked him: "Where is Mr. Guo?"
"Uncle Master is in the county. There will be action tonight. I want to see the old man. Where is he?"
Luo Ziyu pointed to the cabin and sighed: "You are so angry that you fell ill!"
Sun Xiaozhen walked into the cabin and saw Liu Yan with white hair lying on the couch with his eyes closed tightly.
Liu Yan used the emperor's imperial edict to pressure Tian Shenyu yesterday, but it was of no use. He was so angry and anxious that he fell ill.
"Old man, wake up, I have something important to report to you."
Liu Yan slowly opened his eyes, sighed and asked, "It's Sun Shaolang, where is Guo Song?"
"My uncle will take action tonight, and I came here to inform the old man!"
Liu Yan pinned all his hopes on Guo Song. He grabbed Sun Xiaozhen's hand and asked urgently: "What do you need from us? Tell me quickly!"
Sun Xiaozhen whispered a few words to Liu Yan, and Liu Yan's eyes lit up. He used to be a little disapproving of Guo Song's various risky behaviors, but now he is willing to risk it. Instead of being helpless, it is better to fight with all his might.
Liu Yan struggled to sit up, wrote a letter, and handed it to Sun Xiaozhen along with the emperor's imperial edict, "I would like to ask Sun Shaolang to make this trip."
Sun Xiaozhen hurried away with the letter and the imperial edict. Liu Yan called Luo Ziyu into the cabin again and told him: "At two o'clock, if you see a fire at the top of the city, immediately move the fleet to the other side!"
.........
Guo Song has lurked into Tian Shenyu's inner house. In this huge house covering an area of about 100 acres, Tian Shenyu's large family lives. Tian Shenyu has more than ten wives and concubines, who gave birth to eight sons and three daughters for him.
, In addition, he has more than a dozen grandchildren, so he can be said to be full of children and grandchildren, and they can enjoy the happiness of family every day.
It's a pity that his ambition and greed are about to ruin it all.
Tian Shenyu was also very vigilant. Not only was he closely guarded, he would also spend the night in different rooms of his wives and concubines every night. He had as many as seven inner study rooms, making it difficult to trace his whereabouts.
But Guo Song had been in his mansion for an hour and had already figured out his whereabouts clearly.
In the yard of Tian Shenyu's seventh concubine, there were more than a dozen soldiers standing in the yard, carrying swords in hand, patrolling back and forth. There were also secret sentries hidden on the surrounding walls, and the security was extremely tight, and there was no leakage.
However, no matter how strict the protection is, there are still weaknesses, and the backyard is the weak point. There is no window in the backyard of the study, and the study cannot be entered from the back, so the protection in the backyard is slightly weak.
A whistleblower on the tree next to the wall suddenly groaned and fell down on the tree. A black shadow on the tree, like a big bird, jumped across the backyard and landed lightly on the roof without landing on the tiles, making no sound.
.
He uncovered a few clear tiles and jumped into the next room with a single leap...
Tian Shenyu is still drinking in the study. This is his biggest hobby. He has collected all kinds of fine wines from all over the world and will taste them carefully before going to bed every day.
The wine Tian Shenyu tasted at this time was Meishou wine from the capital. He loved it very much and collected dozens of bottles. He especially liked the small bottles of Meishou wine. He was over sixty and could no longer drink as much as he did when he was young. He had to
Pay attention to maintenance, this small bottle of wine is just right for him.
Tian Shenyu filled a glass of wine and was about to pick it up when a chuckle came from behind, "Master Tian, drinking alone, isn't it lonely?"
Tian Shenyu trembled with fright, turned around, and found a tall man in black standing behind him, with a black sword already pressed against his neck.
Tian Shenyu slowly calmed down and quickly thought of countermeasures, but then asked: "How did you get in?"
"There are loopholes in your personal defense, and you are looking ahead but not behind."
"But I don't have a back window here!"
Guo Song sneered, "You don't need to waste time, there is no point in asking these questions now."
Tian Shenyu sighed, "I can order the fleet to leave."
Guo Song smiled and said: "I heard that my brother sent troops to plunder Yangzhou and got a rare jade. Mr. Tian also showed off its beauty at the banquet. It was called Xiaohe's jade. Can you let me have a look?"
A glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in Tian Shenyu's heart, and she quickly said: "The jade is in the brocade box on the shelf behind you. I can give it to you. I just ask you to spare my life."
Guo Song shook his head and said calmly: "You are wrong. Every time I kill an important person, I have to take a treasure as a trophy. This is my rule. The same is true for killing Li Fuguo, and the same is true for killing Yu Lingxuan. Tian
My husband will not be an exception!"
Tian Shenyu was shocked and rolled to the ground. Just as he was about to shout, he felt a chill on his neck and he knew nothing else.
Guo Song cut off Tian Shenyu's head with a sword, wiped the blood on his sword, put the sword into its sheath, turned around and took out a jade box from the Bogu shelf, and inside was indeed a rare jade jade, shining with white light.
Not a single flaw.
"What a treasure!"
Guo Song wrapped the jade in cloth and put it in his waist pouch. He dipped the cloth in blood and wrote a line of big words on the wall: 'Betray the Prince of Yongjia, kill him as a warning!'
