Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

Historically, during the period when Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, and the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty and regained the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, that is, the period when the story of Water Margin took place, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun refer to: Yan, Ji, Ying, Mo, Zhuo, Tan, Shun, Yun, and Ru , Gui, Wu, Xin, Wei, Ying, Huan, Shuo and other sixteen states.

According to historical records, this Jizhou should be under the rule of the Liao Kingdom.

It can be inferred from the description in "Water Margin" that Jizhou was clearly a prefecture and county under the jurisdiction of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

After coming to this fairy tale version of the Water Margin world, Jiang Hongfei has always been curious, does this Jizhou belong to the Zhao and Song Dynasties, or does it belong to the Liao Empire?

Jiang Hongfei once boasted that he had traveled all over the world, to the white mountains and black waters, and to the north of the desert.

According to what Jiang Hongfei boasted, it is impossible for Jiang Hongfei not to know whether Jizhou belongs to the Song Dynasty or the Liao Dynasty?

There was no way, Jiang Hongfei could only ignore this mistake which was obviously caused by Shi Naian's lack of understanding of the history and geography of the Song Dynasty.

It was not until this time that Jiang Hongfei and his party came to the Baigou River, the national boundary between Song and Liao, and did not reach Jizhou, that Jiang Hongfei determined that Jizhou belonged to the Liao Kingdom in this fairy tale version of the Water Margin world.

Later, Jiang Hongfei had a drink with Shi Qian and Shi Xiu, who had lived in Jizhou for a long time, and listened to them bragging to a group of Liangshan heroes. Only then did he realize that because the Liao Kingdom was highly sinicized, the current Liao people, especially The Liao people living in the sixteen states of Yanyun are no longer much different from the Han people.

Moreover, due to the signing of the "Tan Yuan Alliance", Song and Liao had not fought a war for hundreds of years. The old people on the border between the two countries had never even seen weapons, and the border between the two countries was in name only.

In addition, the Liao State implemented a bicameral system, that is, the North Court managed the Khitan, Xi, Bohai, Jurchen, Shiwei and other Hu people according to the customs on the grasslands, while the South Court managed the Han people according to the Han system.

More importantly, the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures have a total population of just over three million, and Han people account for almost two million.

Therefore, the emergence of the Han system in Jizhou, and the streets seem to be full of Han people, can barely be explained.

Since the border between Song and Liao was currently in vain, Jiang Hongfei and his party easily crossed the Baigou River and headed straight to Jizhou.

One day later, Jiang Hongfei and his party arrived in Jizhou City.

After arriving here smoothly, Jiang Hongfei encountered some difficulties.

Why?

Shi Qian is a gentleman, and it is impossible for others to know his whereabouts easily. Jiang Hongfei and his party are not familiar with the place, and there is no one who is familiar with the local area and reliable to help inquire. Where can they find Shi Qian?

As for Shi Xiu?

Jiang Hongfei only knew that he went to the north with his uncle to sell sheep and horses. Unfortunately, his uncle died of illness and the business suffered losses, so he lived in Jizhou and made a living by collecting firewood.

Not to mention that there are too many mountains here in Jizhou. Who knows which mountain Shi Xiu collects firewood in.

It's just that there are many markets in Jizhou. It will not be easy to find Shi Xiu who sells firewood.

Jiang Hongfei thought about it and figured out that Yang Xiong was easy to find. He should be able to find Yang Xiong when he went to Jizhou Fu Yamen.

Moreover, although Yang Xiong does not know Shi Xiu yet, he may already know Shi Qian. If he finds Yang Xiong, he may be able to find Shi Qian.

After booking an inn to stay, Jiang Hongfei made arrangements and asked Deng Fei, Tang Bin, Wu Song, and Ruan Xiaoqi to lead their personal guards to various markets in Jizhou to inquire about Shi Xiu, while Jiang Hongfei planned to go and meet Yang Xiong in person.

After making arrangements, Jiang Hongfei and his party left for action.

Soon, Jiang Hongfei and others arrived at Jizhou Government Office.

Jiang Hongfei looked around, and then led everyone to the nearest restaurant.

This kind of restaurant opened in the yamen gate often interacts with the officials in the yamen, and you can hear all kinds of gossip news in the yamen. Therefore, both the shopkeeper and the waiters are definitely interested in the people and people in the yamen. The matter is clear. Ask them for something. As long as the reward is paid, it is impossible not to find out.

——It is precisely because of this that many hotels in Shuibo Liangshan are opened at the Yamen Gate.

After Jiang Hongfei and others found a private room to sit down, they called the waiter over and asked him to serve him wine, meat and dishes.

When the dishes were all served, Jiang Hongfei took out two coins as ten coins and pushed them to the waiter: "Second brother, let me ask you, is there an executioner named Yang Xiong who serves as the prisoner of the two courts and serves as the city's cao in the government office? He is very skilled in martial arts." , with a yellowish appearance, and is said to be ill."

The waiter happily accepted the two coins as ten coins, and then replied: "But because my uncle and brother were the prefect in Jizhou, he went to Jizhou to make a living. Later, because he met the successor prefect, he was appointed as the prison guard of the two houses. Yang Jie-level, who also serves as the city’s executioner?”

Jiang Hongfei nodded: "It's him."

The waiter said: "Yes. Yang Jieji often went to the shop to drink tea and wine. Not long ago, the local king Yasi passed away, and his wife Pan passed to Yang Jieji. Mrs. Pan had black hair and thin curly hair. Curved eyebrows, smooth eyes, fragrant mouth, straight nose and nose, red breasts and cheeks, pink and shiny face, slightly curled body, slender jade hands, a twisted waist, soft and pus-filled belly She has pointed feet, flower-studded shoes, fleshy breasts, and white legs, and she is carrying a romantic and beautiful lady."

Jiang Hongfei thought to himself: "I didn't realize that the waiter in this shop is also a lustful person."

But Jiang Hongfei is particularly able to understand this kind of thing.

What normal man wouldn't like beautiful women?

Let’s put it this way, how many men would not take a second look at a beautiful and well-figured woman when they meet her on the street? Even those old men who can't do anything anymore may take a second look.

There is no way, most men may not think about women until the day they completely close their eyes.

What's more, although Pan Qiaoyun's father is a butcher, she is an exquisite beauty who pays attention to life taste and details. She must dress up very well every time before going out, and the maids must also dress up beautifully. Seeing her beauty and her ecstasy sexiness, don't you think about it?

But Jiang Hongfei is definitely not among them.

Why?

Naturally, Jiang Hongfei already has a better one.

In terms of appearance, can Pan Qiaoyun compare with Li Shishi and Chen Liqing?

In terms of coquettishness, once Pan Jinlian is trained by Jiang Hongfei, she will definitely not lose to Pan Qiaoyun. Even the very talented Gao Youniang will not lose to Pan Qiaoyun.

The key point is that Jiang Hongfei likes coquettish women, but he prefers coquettish women trained by himself.

All in all, Jiang Hongfei would not have any thoughts about Pan Qiaoyun, who was murderous and cruel, and Pan Qiaoyun would become the object of lust for a man like the waiter who had never seen the world.

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei just smiled casually at the sexy topic brought up by the waiter and asked, "I want to get to know Yang Jieji. Maybe the waiter can help me?"

Seeing that Jiang Hongfei was not interested in the coquettish and sexy Pan Qiaoyun, how could the waiter in the shop not understand that Jiang Hongfei wanted to befriend Yang Xiong because of Pan Qiaoyun? Naturally, he will no longer be asking for trouble.

Seeing that the reward given by Jiang Hongfei was quite large, the waiter replied: "Yang Jieji often comes to the shop to drink tea at a later time. If you are not busy, you might as well wait in the shop for a while and wait for Yang Jieji." When you come, the villain will point it out to the guest officer."

Jiang Hongfei thanked the waiter, saying that he would thank Yang Xiong again after seeing Yang Xiong, and then let the waiter go.

At this time, Jiang Hongfei heard someone in the box next to him say: "Although Shi Qian is a thief, he is a rare true hero. What a pity!"

Jiang Hongfei heard the two men mentioning Shi Qian, which seemed to be news about Shi Qian, and winked at Zhang San.

Zhang San understood and immediately went to the private room next to him to inquire: "May I ask you two heroes, what happened to Shi Qian?"

A drinker asked instead of answering: "Don't you know about this?"

Zhang San replied: "We just came here from other places and don't know about this."

The drinker said: "No wonder."

Then he went on to say: "Shi Qian was originally from Gaotangzhou. He was a thief. He occasionally stole tombs. His stealing skills were unparalleled in the world. He was called the best thief in the world and was known as the flea on the drum. Because he stole the thief from Zhao Song Dynasty. When the incident involving the emperor's golden rooster happened, he fled to Jizhou and lived in Huojiadian, Fuxinzhuang. He robbed the rich and gave to the poor, and returned home after his ugly behavior. When there was a spring famine, he led people to steal grain from the houses of corrupt officials in the state and distributed it to others. The people were starving. The government tried to arrest him everywhere but to no avail, so they took the villagers of Fuxinzhuang and the shopkeeper to the prefectural government office for punishment. After hearing the news, Shi Qian surrendered to the government office and rescued the villagers and shopkeepers. He is currently being held in Jizhoufuyamen. If it happens, I’m afraid it’s more likely to be a disaster than a disaster.”

Jiang Hongfei was overjoyed: "It's really effortless to get through the iron shoes and find no place. It turns out that Shi Qian was imprisoned in the Jizhou government office. That can be easily solved. In the worst case, he can just rob the prison."

Of course, prison robbery is definitely not the best option, especially when Jiang Hongfei is still planning to stay in Jizhou for a few days.

Jiang Hongfei thought that Shi Qian had caused a lawsuit in Jizhou Prefecture and was saved by Yang Xiong.

Calculating the time, it should be this time.

"In that case, I'd better meet Yang Xiong first."

Jiang Hongfei was lucky. As soon as they finished their meal, the waiter came over and pointed at a good-looking guy who was wearing indigo-like embroidery, eyebrows on the temples, phoenix eyes upturned, light yellow skin, and a few thin mustaches. The man said to Jiang Hongfei, "That person is Yang Jieji."

After Jiang Hongfei heard this, he gave the waiter two more coins as ten coins, then sat down opposite Yang Xiong, placed the two hundred spiritual stones on the table, and pushed them in front of Yang Xiong:

"Xiao Ke admires Shi Qian's actions and wants to save him. Can you help me find a way to save him?"

Yang Xiong couldn't help but feel a little moved when he saw that Jiang Hongfei had made such a big move as the Two Hundred Spiritual Stones.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Xiong looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him and Jiang Hongfei, so Yang Xiong quickly put away the spiritual stones.

After collecting the spirit stone, Yang Xiong did not beat around the bush and said straightforwardly: "The matter of Shi Qian stealing the imperial golden rooster of Emperor Zhao and Song Dynasty is easy to solve. After all, this place is under the jurisdiction of the Liao Kingdom, not the Song Dynasty. As long as Shi Qian is taught to hand over the Imperial Golden Rooster If he plays with the golden rooster, nothing will happen. In the past, he stole and went to the grave, and it was easy to deal with it. He caught cheaters and couples, and caught thieves and took away the dirty things. He had no stolen goods and no misfortune, as long as he taught the time to shirk away. All these things were done in the Song Dynasty. , If we haven’t committed the crime again in Liao, it won’t be a problem. I’ll do some more tidying up, and both of these things will be easy to resolve.”

After a pause, Yang Xiong continued: "The trouble is, when Shi Qian went to the state official's house to steal food and distribute it to the starving people, the state official was chasing after him closely and still had power, but Shi Qian was unable to compensate, so it was difficult to deal with it."

Don't want to, Yang Xiong changed his tone: "Fortunately, Shi Qian's life should not be terminated. Xiao Ke heard yesterday that this state official was scolded by King Yan for his incompetence. I'm afraid it won't be long before he becomes an official. , as long as Xiao Ke mediates, Shi Qian's life should be saved."

Then, Yang Xiong took the initiative to speak: "Although this thief Shi Qian is not in the mainstream, what he does is somewhat manly. Xiao Ke originally had the intention to save him, but now he has taken the benefits of a high official. He is determined to I will mediate for him and help him get out of jail."

To be honest, Yang Xiong's method is quite safe.

Moreover, judging from the result that Yang Xiong was able to rescue Shi Qian in the end, Yang Xiong's claim was correct.

The problem is that Jiang Hongfei can't wait too long. He still has a lot of things at home.

Jiang Hongfei thought for a while and asked: "If the state officials no longer pursue this matter, how long will it take for Shi Qian to be rescued at the provincial level?"

When Yang Xiong heard this, he was startled at first, and then thought that Jiang Hongfei might want to deal with the state official.

But Yang Xiong didn't know whether Jiang Hongfei was looking for a relationship, losing money, or preparing to use some other method?

In fact, Yang Xiong is not a nosy person. He wanted to save Shi Qian just because he looked down on Shi Qian as a good man who had saved many people. The state official was about to lose power again, and he could operate a little In one click, you can change the style easily. After three inferences and six questions, Shi can be freed from his guilt without causing him too much effort.

Therefore, Yang Xiong did not ask Jiang Hongfei how he planned to stop the state officials from pursuing the matter. He only said: "The people will not prosecute the case. If the state officials withdraw the accusation, it will not be difficult to save Shi Qian."

Jiang Hongfei nodded: "Let's wait for the good news about Xiao Ke at the Jie level. It will still be the same time here tomorrow. Xiao Ke will come and have a drink with the Jie level again."

After speaking, Jiang Hongfei left.

Looking at the backs of Jiang Hongfei and his party, Yang Xiong thought to himself: "Who are these people? Why do they want to save a thief?"

Shaking his head, Yang Xiong didn't think any more.

In fact, Yang Xiong had no intention of thinking about such trivial matters at the moment. His newly married wife was good in every aspect, but she was asking for her too frequently. It hadn't even been a month, but he couldn't stand it anymore.

Yang Xiong thought to himself: "Now I finally know why Wang Yasi died young."

Yang Xiong didn't want to be drained by Pan Qiaoyun like Wang Yasi.

Therefore, Yang Xiong made up his mind to control it in the future, once a year...it seems a bit too little, otherwise, once a month?

Let’s talk about Jiang Hongfei and his group.

Back at the inn, Jiang Hongfei asked Sun Jing: "Military advisor, if I let someone go to the state official's home, might I be able to teach him to change his mind?"

Sun Jing smiled and said, "It will definitely work."

Jiang Hongfei thought so too.

This state official is about to lose power, and he has no blood feud with Shi Qian, so why take the risk?

In other words, if this state official really dares to take risks, Jiang Hongfei will help this corrupt official.

Just who should do this?

In fact, the most suitable person to do this is Shi Xiu, who is bold, careful, brave, resourceful, and loyal.

It's a pity that there is no news about Shi Xiu yet.

Wu Song is also quite suitable for this.

However, Wu Song has not yet joined Shuibo Liangshan, and he does not seem to want to join Shuibo Liangshan. Jiang Hongfei cannot yet tell him to do things and ask him to return his favor easily.

In the end, Jiang Hongfei chose to ask Tang Bin, who was also bold and careful, and could even succeed in the city, to do this.

After receiving the order, Tang Bin hid his own spiritual energy, semi-materialized it to achieve the effect of invisibility, sneaked into the state official's house, quietly cut off the head of his guard dog, and then carried the head away. In the state official's room, the dog's head was hung on the head of the state official's bed, and then the word "Shi Qian" was written in the most eye-catching place with the dog's blood...
