A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"Boat?"

Wen Xiaozhong, who had just stood up, said: "Yes, there is a small boat on the bank of the Yellow River. When the business in the store is not good, I will ferry the boat to make money."

The dark-faced man smiled and said: "That's just right, hurry up and prepare the food and drinks."

Later, the food and wine came, and the black-faced man wolfed down the food. Wen Xiaozhong was about to take him to the guest room at the back, but the black-faced man said, "Is it possible to cross the river overnight?"

Wen Xiaozhong hesitated for a moment, "It's possible, but..."

"Money is easy to talk about."

The black-faced man took out a handful of money and placed it on the ground: "Put the money here, lest you accuse me of seeking wealth and killing someone."

Wen Xiaozhong hesitated again, then tentatively leaned over to pick up the money.

The black-faced man sneered: "I'm going back to Bianliang to do business. It's a big deal, and I'm going to lose your boat money? Pack up quickly and leave later."

Later, the two of them went out before the city gate closed, and then went straight to the Yellow River.

The Yellow River in early spring does not look like spring at all. If it is too cold, there will be a lot of ice on the river. This year the conditions were good, with only a little ice on the river.

Wen Xiaozhong led the black-faced man downstream until he reached a small opening and found a small boat.

He pulled the boat out by himself. When he got close to the river, he turned around and said, "Get in the boat."

"good."

The black-faced man got on the boat cautiously, and what followed was a very ordinary voyage.

The boat reached the other side smoothly. The black-faced man's feet were a little weak. He climbed to the shore and said, "Come here, there are steamed buns here. Seeing your hard work, I will eat one and have a jug of good wine."

He spread out his baggage and said with relief, "I'll find someone to stay with tonight, and I'll go straight to Kaifeng tomorrow. Okay! It's better now."

Wen Xiaozhong tied up the boat, came over and sat down, and took the cold steamed buns from the black-faced man.

"Eat, eat."

The cold steamed buns are terrible to eat, and the meat filling inside can freeze your teeth.

The dark-faced man lowered his head and took a bite. When he looked up again, he saw that Xiaozhong had already eaten most of it and was chewing it. He smiled and said, "Sure enough, he still has a generous appetite."

The surroundings were quiet at the moment, with only a few stars shining on the earth, which was particularly deserted.

After a while, after hearing the news, Xiao Zhong covered his forehead and said, "Why are you feeling dizzy?"

The black-faced man took out a short blade, his evil smile looming under the starlight.

"You were poisoned by a certain drug... When you got to the river, you remembered that your grandfather was called Shen An..."

The black-faced man stabbed him with a knife. He even had time to look at the other side of the river...

His hand was held by someone, and then he subconsciously applied more force, but the big hand only exerted a slight force, and he cried out in pain.

The short blade fell to the ground, and the black-faced man hissed: "You...you didn't faint...that medicine was bought by a certain person for two thousand dollars!"

Wen Xiaozhong punched him and knocked him to the ground, and then said: "A five-year-old can tell the difference between drug intoxication and you put it in the meat buns... it took away the smell of the mutton."

The black-faced man said in despair: "You actually...you don't open a wine shop, who are you?"

Wen Xiaozhong grabbed his hair with one hand and asked, "Who are you?"

The black-faced man suddenly begged: "I am wrong. I am rich. As long as you send me to Bianliang City, I will give you ten guan... no, one thousand guan."

"interesting."

Wen Xiaozhong's eyes reflected slightly, "Speak, who are you? Why are you going to Bianliang? Why are you trying to silence them..."

This is a veteran.

The black-faced man sensed the evil aura and howled, "I was just confused for a moment..."

The wails echoed on the edge of the Yellow River, like wandering spirits.

"I haven't been executed for a long time, so today is a good day..."

What followed was a punishment, which lasted only half a quarter of an hour before the black-faced man confessed the truth.

"This is Chen Zhong...I killed you to cover up my tracks..."

"Why? Who are you? What are you afraid of?"

The Yellow River was flowing. Wen Xiaozhong was standing by the river, and Chen Zhong was kneeling beside it.

All he needed to do was jump into the river, but jumping in this weather would mean death.

He was afraid of the cold and sobbed: "A certain family has been officials for generations...and then I offended that Shen An..."

"interesting!"

Wen Xiaozhong tied up Chen Zhong and hid him in a den, then disappeared into the night.

Chen Zhong was very regretful. He felt that he should not have gone to Xinxiang, let alone enter that wine shop.

Even if it means sleeping outside the city for one night, that’s fine!

At this moment he forgot about the cold and felt warm all over.

What will happen next?

If that Wen Xiaozhong is smart, he should listen to me and go back to Bianliang to get the money. Maybe I can coax him later...

Yes, the Chen family has countless friends in Bianliang, and those people will never betray themselves.

But why did a certain person want to flee?

This is fear, fear of human nature, fear of being stared at.

He was thinking wildly when suddenly a dark shadow appeared on the nest.

He was so frightened that he struggled a few times.

"Chen Zhong, Shen An actually offered you a reward of 10,000 yuan."

A stream of urine flowed out uncontrollably, and Chen Zhong said incoherently: "I will give you one hundred thousand guan, one million guan..."

"Who is Shen An?"

"He is a madman! He is so unscrupulous just because he is close to the future prince..."

"That's right."

Wen Xiaozhong dragged him out with one hand, and then he didn't mind the smell of urine on his body, so he put him on his shoulder and left.

"If you let so-and-so go, so-and-so will give you money."

"shut up!"

"Really, a certain Chen Zhong, how many powerful people in Bianliang know a certain person... Shen An kills people without batting an eyelid, and is known as the Demon King of Bandits. He will kill you... a certain person knows... you have evil energy in your body. You have killed people, and More than one person... Shen An will kill you..."

Wen Xiaozhong casually got a piece of cloth and blocked his mouth, then quickly carried him and disappeared into the night.

…

The people from the Privy Council and the Imperial City Department have all set off. The people from the Privy Council will be stationed in Xiongzhou to deliver news at any time.

The people from the Imperial City Division want to go deep into the Liao territory to find out about the Mangshan Army. If they are still there, they will take the risk to show their heads as a warning.

Shen An wanted to go to Xiongzhou, but Zhao Zhen sent two guards to keep an eye on him at Shen's house.

Such days were too torturous, and Shen An could only pray that Huang Chun's senses would be sharper.

"Mr. Lang, there is someone outside asking to see you."

Shen Anzai's movements at home were not restricted, and the two guards were lazily drinking tea in the wing.

In the side hall, Shen An saw Wen Xiaozhong.

"Who are you……"

Wen Xiaozhong is tall and intimidating when he stands.

"I heard about Xiaozhong and saw Shen Taizhao."

Wen Xiaozhong looked at Shen An carefully and said, "I heard that a reward of 10,000 yuan was offered..."

"Chen Zhong?"

Shen An felt happy and asked, "Where is he?"

Wen Xiaozhong said: "I don't want ten thousand strings."

Huh!

Shen An felt that the world was a little upside down.

There are people who don’t love money?

"Then what do you want?"

He was worried that the big man would make demands that he could not fulfill.

Wen Xiaozhong cupped his hands and said, "I heard that Tai Zhao fought in the north and south and killed countless enemies, and I admire him in my heart. I just want to be with Tai Zhao. If there is a chance to go into battle in the future, I can take you with me."

"Kill the enemy?"

The status of warriors in the Song Dynasty was low, but some people actually wanted to kill the enemy?

Are you trying to fool me?

Seeing him frowning, I heard Xiao Zhong said: "My father died in the battle in the north. I will ask someone to Xinxiang to find out."

"Are they actually brothers in the military?"

Shen An said solemnly, "That's all right, Chen Luo, take him to wash up and rest, and invite Chen Langjun here by the way."

Chen Langjun was brought in in embarrassment. Yao Lian said with a ghostly expression on his face: "Langjun, Wen Xiaozhong hired an ox cart and tied Chen Zhong under the cart and transported him into the city."

"He's a smart man!"

Shen An then went to the wing, and the two guards were shocked when they saw Chen Zhong.

"You two, someone is about to be tortured, and you want to just watch?"

The two guards no longer stayed at Shen's house, and immediately went to the palace to report the news.

With Chen Zhong in hand, Shen An will definitely not run away today.

"Chen Langjun, it's been a long time."

Shen An stretched out his hand, and Chen Luo handed over the instrument of torture. Chen Zhong cried: "Someone is wrong, so is wrong, spare so, so is willing to be a slave in the Shen family, Shen An, spare so, all of so and so's property will be given to him." you……"

Shen An whipped away the whip, and Chen Zhong howled and shouted: "Spare my life..."

After a whip blow, Chen Zhong's howl spread throughout Yulin Alley.

Fortunately, Guoguo went to Bao's house today, otherwise Shen An wouldn't have been able to do anything.

"What did you say to the Liao people?"

Shen An asked breathlessly, the whip in his hand had been replaced by a hammer.

But Chen Zhong is a softie. "Someone told him that the Mangshan Army went to the north, and some said it went to the Liao border..."

Shen An sneered: "He did it for a rural army? Who believes it?"

There are only more than a hundred people, let alone rural soldiers, even the Forbidden Army is not in the eyes of the Liao people, and they will not send anyone to report this.

Chen Zhong started to cry, and Shen An said coldly: "Bring Huahua here!"

When Huahua appeared, Chen Zhong shouted: "Someone said... someone said about the Mangshan Army's achievements in Fuzhou and Xixia..."

"brute!"

Shen An was so angry that he swung the hammer.

"Stay here!"

Someone hugged him behind him, and the hammer deflected, landing on Chen Zhong's shoulder.

"ah……"

Chen Zhong screamed and rolled on the ground. Shen An turned around, and the man cupped his hands and said, "Shen An is not going to be offended by the imperial edict."

This person is Wei Ming, who sneaked into Shen's house last time and was hung on a tree for a night. Behind him is Zhang Ba Ba.

Zhang Ba Ba walked in and said: "The only person in Bianliang who can be lynched is you, Shen An, but I know that you still had some merit last time, so you just deserved it."

Shen An taught Zhao Zhongzhen and others miscellaneous studies, and the miscellaneous studies saved Sima Guang, and Shen An also made a meritorious service.

Shen An said coldly: "One more leg is missing!"

Wei Ming's expression changed drastically, and he thought to himself, you dare to continue to fight in front of Zhang Ba8, are you going to fall out?

Shen An leaned over and struck, and Chen Zhong's screams immediately went up to the sky, so sharp that they didn't sound like human beings.

"Shen An!"

Zhang Baibian's eyelids flickered, and there was a ghostly fire in his eyes, obviously a little annoyed.

Shen An turned around, threw away the hammer, and said with a smile: "The man was caught by a certain person who offered a reward, and the person he wanted to intercept was also a certain person. Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its owner. If the Imperial City Division is willing to pay 10,000 yuan, then Chen An I will give it to you without missing a hair."

This is a provocation!

Who can blame your useless Imperial City Secretary for not being able to catch anyone? The person is in my hands, Shen An, UU Reading www.uukｎshu.net I can break his legs if I want to, how about that?

Most of the anger that Shen An had been holding since he was intercepted was vented with that hammer, and the rest was directed at Zhang Bianba.

Wei Ming stood in the middle and couldn't help feeling cold all over his body, so he quietly withdrew.

"What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting. The officials are conniving and refuse to deal with those powerful people. If not, how could Chen Zhong dare to collude with the Liao people? How dare he intercept and kill Shen?"

"What do you want?"

"What if I'm not prepared? I just want to tell you that the Imperial City Division has been in the middle and in the mud for too long. Since you are unwilling to move, then Shen will move. I think there will be more happiness in Bianliang City if there are a few more disabled people... Ha ha ha ha!"
