A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Bianliang is a city that never sleeps. Many businesses operate all night long and are very lively.

The ancients said: Life is too short to wander at night holding a candle. This is awe and anxiety about life. They are worried that life will continue to pass away, but the beauty in life is everywhere. They can't see enough and enjoy it enough, so they have to go out at night with a candle.

But the two words Bingzhu summed up the desertedness at that time.

It was quiet at night, except for the sleepy chatter of the neighbors.

What is this kind of night tour for?

It's probably just a matter of mood.

But the Song Dynasty is different, you don’t need to hold a candle.

Those brightly lit places are full of people, the sounds of hawkers, the shouts of drunken people, the coquettishness of women...

This is the Song Dynasty.

This is Bianliang!

But Yulin Lane is different.

This is not a night market, so it is very quiet at night.

In the alley, a few dark figures stood quietly.

Suddenly something appeared on the wall of Shen's house. Several black figures held their breath and leaned against the wall.

A human-shaped thing jumped out of the wall stiffly, and then fell heavily.

Didn't you know that this idiot actually jumped down like this and made such a loud sound?

If the Shen family is alerted, this alley will become unsafe immediately.

But the human-shaped black shadow did not fall to the ground in the end, and was hanging in the air, still swinging back and forth.

This is people!

A chill rose from the backs of several dark figures and spread throughout the body in an instant...

There was no struggle or sound from him, this was...

Got killed? !

The few shadows did not expect this ending, and they quietly gathered together.

"Chen Li was killed, and Shen An was cruel..."

"Do you still want to do it?"

"The Shen family has been prepared for a long time...those rural soldiers...those rural soldiers don't seem to have left the city."

"Who said those country soldiers were vulnerable?"

"Who knows, it's those gentlemen, how dare we speak..."

"what to do?"

"withdraw!"

"good!"

Several black figures quietly turned around and then slipped into the night.

Several rural soldiers suddenly touched up from the wall beside them, and then the leader pointed downwards and assigned targets.

A dark figure inadvertently looked up and saw a soldier with only one pair of eyes pounced on, and said sternly: "Help..."

The soldier jumped down hard, broke his neck in mid-air, and strangled the word "fate" in his throat.

Several rural soldiers attacked their targets, and the Yulin Alley became quiet again after a while, except for the barking of dogs owned by two families.

Outside Yulin Alley, two spies from the Imperial City Division were waiting.

They were of official status, so naturally they were not worried about their safety, so they stood carelessly in the light, holding fried quails in their hands and gnawing on them.

"Are those people setting fires?"

"God knows, but the Shen family has local soldiers here tonight. I think it can be extinguished even if it is set on fire."

The two spies squatted outside for two hours, until the night dew wet their clothes, and then they woke up from their nap.

"Hey! They haven't come out yet?"

"I don't know. I was in a daze just now, but if they come out there will definitely be some movement."

A secret agent stood up, stretched, yawned, and then felt like there was someone behind him, so he slowly turned back...

Beside him, a man in black stood quietly at this moment.

The man in black's eyes were dim, and there was no trace of blood on his face.

None of this is terrible.

What's scary is that this man's head actually hangs on his shoulders...

"ah……"

What is a person's first reaction when they suddenly encounter something scary?

The two spies jumped up suddenly, jumping to a height that they would never be able to achieve again in this life.

At this moment, the morning light was dim. In the dim light, five men in black leaned against the wall quietly, silently.

Their skin was pale, their eyes were dull, and three heads were hanging on their shoulders; one fell back and only his neck could be seen; the last one's head hung on his chest, and the back of his head could be seen...

…

"This is a gift to Zhang for eight years!"

Shen An was eating breakfast, which consisted of a large bowl of soup cakes.

Su Shi was still very energetic after not sleeping all night. He took a sip of noodle soup, his body was trembling, and he asked: "Anbei, did Zhang Baibian provoke you?"

Shen An glanced at the two boys who were muttering, and said: "Zhang Bianba knew about Zhou Xing's affairs for a long time, but he didn't care about it. I guess he didn't even report it to the officials. He was just sitting back and watching...his What is the purpose?"

Wang Yu, who was talking in a low voice to Zhao Zhongzhen, raised his head and said, "Brother An Bei, Zhang Ba must not have a good impression of the powerful, and he wants to see both us and the powerful lose!"

This made Shen An put down the chopsticks in his hands, and then said: "If young people don't engage in intrigues, their lives will be short."

Wang Yu was a short-lived ghost in history. He carried all his intrigues and intrigues to his grave. Even his wife was persuaded by Lao Wang to remarry.

Wang Yu curled his lips and said, "Brother An Bei, just tell me whether what you say is right."

Shen An said angrily: "Most of the time, that's right. Zhang Baibian's motive is not to sit back and watch both sides lose. He just wants to see the abilities of those powerful people, and by the way, he wants to see the temperament of a certain person. He should know it now... "

Zhao Zhongzhen saw ferocity in his eyes.

Zhang Bianba, you idiot, do you actually think Shen An will be patient?

…

The two spies were so frightened that they returned to the Imperial City Division and found Zhang Bianba who had just woken up.

Zhang Ba was getting dressed. The robe did not look close to his body. It was empty, as if there was only air inside instead of flesh.

"say."

He put on his belt and turned around slowly.

"Everyone knows that those people who went to Yulin Lane last night... are all... dead. The villain took a nap there..."

The two spies bowed their heads in apology.

Zhang Baibian didn't have any special reaction. He walked out of the room and saw someone waiting outside the door.

"As you all know, there are soup cakes and mutton steamed buns for breakfast..."

As the boss of the Imperial City Division, Zhang Baibian has many resources, such as food.

He stood at the foot of the steps and said quietly: "These two people... each have twenty lashes."

The two spies who came out were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you very much, I know you will be merciful."

Zhang Baba shook his head and said: "I'm not going to have breakfast. I'm entering the palace at this moment..."

He raised his head and glanced at the brightening east, and said coldly: "That's too cruel, even more cruel than the Imperial City Division."

He entered the palace all the way. At this moment, Zhao Zhen was discussing matters with the ministers, so he had to wait for the announcement.

Say it or not?

Zhang Baibian just thought about it for a moment and made up his mind.

Someone is a member of the official family, there is no need to cover up anything for others!

After entering the hall and saluting, Zhao Zhen asked, "What's the matter?"

Unless it's a big deal, Zhang Bian will not come to disturb the court meeting.

Zhang Baba said: "Your Majesty, someone took advantage of the night to attack Shen An's family last night..."

Zhao Zhen's face turned pale, "How is the Shen family?"

He didn't ask who did it. This was very subtle.

Zhang Baba said: "We don't know what happened to the Shen family, but those who took action are all dead. One was hung outside the Shen family wall, five had their necks broken, and were left beside the Imperial City Secret Agent... I neglected my duty. ”

They didn't even react when someone put the corpse next to them. Those two spies could be called pigs. The direct leader of these two pigs is Zhang Baannian, so he must apologize.

But Shen An's cruelty was shocking.

Han Qi thought this was really weird, but Zeng Gongliang was going back to Beijing soon, and he didn't want to worry about these private matters at the moment.

Zhao Zhen's face gradually calmed down and he said: "Shen An... He made a lot of contributions in the southwest defeat of Jiaozhi, but the young man is always a little more excited. Let him rest at home for a few days."

Credit?

Everyone suddenly shuddered when they thought of the last time the censor was beaten in the street.

Was Shen An prepared for this before taking action?

The officials seemed angry, and I guess they were quite content in their hearts, but the dignitaries were confused and angry.

…

After the news was released, porcelain fragments were found in many things in Bianliang City, and there were endless shouts and curses.

The powerful people were angry, and some even complained privately about Zhao Zhen, and then hurriedly hired skilled people to take care of the hospital. For a time, there was a lot of speculation in Bianliang City. Some even said that the officials wanted to attack these powerful people, so they hired people to protect themselves.

Naturally, no one believed such ridiculous words, not even Shen An.

Today a professor from Taixue came and said that he was invited to a gathering at Taixue.

Shen An was busy cleaning up the powerful people, so he forgot that Su Yan and others were silent.

Others may be ungrateful, but Shen An knows that Su Yan will not.

It was quiet in Taixue. Shen An stood outside the door and said with a smile, "Why aren't you teaching?"

The professor said: "We will know when the order comes in."

"Do you want to get these for someone?"

Shen An smiled, and then the door opened...

A group of students stood neatly on both sides, and when the door opened, they all bowed.

"Thank you for the imperial edict!"

The sound was very neat, and Shen An didn't know if they had rehearsed it beforehand, but a wave of heat surged in his chest.

This is thanks to Shien.

Guo Qian was not here, and no one else was there, only the students.

The first one was Su Yan. At this moment, he took off his official uniform and wore civilian clothes. He looked up at Shen An and said, "The students were very excited when they passed the provincial examination, but they didn't expect an edict..."

At that time, I was fighting with the Cochin people in the southwest!

Shen An walked over slowly.

There were tears in Su Yan's eyes, and she choked with sobs: "When the student gets the fifth place in the palace examination, that moment... that moment the student wants to see Taizhao the most..."

He slowly knelt down, and when he looked up again, tears were streaming down his face: "If there is no order to be issued, the student will just be a coolie who is ignorant and trying to survive..."

Shen An sighed inwardly, remembering the young boy back then, the ignorant boy.

That young man has now become an official of the Song Dynasty, and he broke through with a good result of fifth place in the palace examination. It is a miracle and will definitely leave a mark in the history books.

"... At that time, the student just wanted to kneel in front of Tai Zhao and express his gratitude... From now on, the student will definitely..."

"stand up!"

Shen An helped him up and said, "You are an official of the Song Dynasty. From now on, you must serve the officials well."

This was said beautifully, implying that "I, Shen An, am not a party member", everyone was convinced.

"The Third Division is the most important place in the Song Dynasty. Study hard, take it easy and then change places."

These words are contrary to the awe-inspiring righteousness of the previous words, and are clearly showing favoritism.

Everyone couldn't help being disappointed, but they were envious.

Shen An is back, and Su Yan's good days are coming.

Why can't I wait for Shen An's attention and care?

The third update is here. It’s the last two days of this month. Please vote for me.

By the way, the ID of our alliance leader is called "The Hundredth Alliance Leader"... The old book friend and alliance leader in the warehouse was misunderstood at that time as having one hundred alliance leaders, embarrassing.
