Great Song Pirate

Chapter 229 Adventures at the Gate of the Capital
Xu Yi stayed in Yangzhou for two days, went to see Luo Tongpan, and gave him quite a generous gift, and prepared a gift for Mei Zhifu and other local officials for Gray to send.

Luo Tongpan was very grateful for Xu Yi's kindness. He only helped him a little, but he never forgot himself. A gift, and this trip is such a rich gift, I really think highly of myself, so I patted my chest and promised that as long as he is still in Yangzhou, he will never cause Xu Yi's shipyard any trouble, Xu Yi wants What he said is that there are a lot of refugees in Yangzhou area recently, Xu Yi has confessed to Ge Lei that these refugees will be subdued secretly, and gradually sent to Jilong Village on Liuqiu Island secretly by boat, and at the same time recruit those able-bodied people, Enrich the navy team, without the local officials turning a blind eye and closing their eyes, there may be trouble.

After leaving Yangzhou, there were no more stops along the way. The boats of the Li family sailed day and night on the canal, and they felt at ease. They saw a lot of scenery along the way, which greatly satisfied Xu Yi's desire to travel. It means that the road is calm and calm. At least some things encountered on the road made Xu Yi feel chills. One is the large number of refugees who appear on both sides of the canal from time to time. After their land, they were displaced, and either became tenant farmers or slaves of big families, or left their homeland and went to other places to find ways to survive, which shows how far the land annexation of the Song Dynasty has reached.

After asking Li Mutian, Xu Yi found out that according to folklore, Zhu Mian, who was known as one of the six thieves of the dynasty, was probably the most powerful person who annexed land. If one tael and four shi of grain are calculated, this bastard can get more than 2 taels of silver for one piece of land rent, not counting his other income.

Another thing is that we ran into several official tank boats of Huashigang along the way. When these boats passed by, all the boats had to give way. The whole ship is shipped to Bianliang, how many people will be searched for!Xu Yi looked at the fleet of ships that meandered like a long dragon and transported flowers and stones to the north, and shook his head secretly. It seemed that he, a cheap old man, would never give up unless he tossed the world. He panicked when Fang La rebelled When Fang La was gone, the Hua Shi Gang was stopped, but as soon as Fang La was gone, the old guy healed again. Stones, it can be seen how poor and luxurious the old things have reached. Xu Yi can only sigh secretly that the Song Dynasty is over, but there is no way to do it.

After staying overnight on the road, they encountered a group of water robbers who tried to raid the boat and rob them. Fortunately, Li Bo and the others were there. Li Bo and the others wanted to hunt them down, but they were stopped by Xu Yi, who shook his head and said, "Don't kill them all. If it weren't for today's world, they probably wouldn't take the risk. Let them go. Clean up these dead, and let's hurry." It's important!" Li Mutian admired Xu Yi's kindness, which made Xu Yi a little embarrassed. If he can be regarded as a kindhearted person, all the thieves in the world are probably also kindhearted!hehe!In order to save trouble, they didn't even report to the officials. After cleaning up the corpses, they continued on the road towards Bianliang at dawn.

After more than half a month of sailing, the ship finally saw Bianliang City in Tokyo from a distance. After stopping, Li Mutian asked Xu Yi if he wanted to visit Bianliang. It would be a worthwhile trip to go to Bianliang, Li Mutian knew his heart, so he acted as a tour guide and took Xu Yi and the others to hire a group of carts to head towards Bianliang.

At this time, Bianliang, Tokyo was the largest city in the world, and it was the political, cultural and economic center of the entire Song Dynasty. It is extremely wide, and the city walls are majestic and tall. They are all built with huge blue bricks. They are extremely majestic and give people a huge sense of oppression. The city couldn't help but feel a little dazed, how could such a strong city be breached by the golden men in such a short period of time?Are these green bricks used to build the city not green bricks, but made of tofu?Are those forbidden soldiers in the city taking wooden guys?Even if it is a wooden stick, I am afraid it will not be so easy for the golden soldiers to attack the city!Did the shame of Jingkang in history really happen in this city?Looking at this majestic giant city, Xu Yi was in a daze all the time, unable to figure out how such a huge capital city would be destroyed by Jin soldiers, and almost wiped out the Zhao family!

"Brother Xu! It's time for us to enter the city!" Li Mutian reminded Xu Yi from the side.

"Uh! Oh! Okay! I see, I'm going to the city, I'm going to the city!" Li Mutian's voice pulled Xu Yi back from his stupefaction, and he said with some embarrassment that his performance was a little bit in Li Mutian's eyes. The feeling was similar to that of a bumpkin entering the city, but he followed Li Mutian towards the city gate without giving any explanation.

"Stop, what do you people do?" A man who looked like an officer stretched out his hand to stop Li Mutian and the others, looking them up and down with squinted eyes.

"Master, I'm a merchant from Hangzhou. This time, I'm going to the capital to do some business. Please let us in!" Li Mutian hurriedly apologized. This is the capital, and it can't be compared to the land of Hangzhou. A merchant like him here There are as many as cow hairs, these are the imperial guards guarding the capital, no one will take them seriously if they haven't seen them before, so Li Mutian speaks very politely.

The low-ranking officer didn't take his words at all. He squinted his eyes and looked at the group of them for a long time, then suddenly his face darkened and he said: "Businessman? I don't think you are some kind of businessman, do you have so many entourages with you?" ? And you are holding a murder weapon, don’t tell me you want to make trouble when you enter Beijing?” The guy opened his mouth and took off a huge hat.

It was only then that Xu Yi realized that he had been negligent. This time he and Li Mutian each brought some men over. Together, there were as many as four or fifty people. Moreover, Li Bo and the others are used to carrying weapons with them. With these utensils, he forgot to put them in the car, so that he was stopped by the officer, so Li Mutian hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Mr. Jun misunderstood, misunderstood! We are really businessmen from Hangzhou, here is our guide, these people They are all our entourages, you know, there are a lot of bandits on the road now, we brought weapons just for self-defense, it’s just for self-defense, the military master dare not say that! We can’t afford it!”

"Hmph! Can't bear it? I don't think you are serious businessmen at all. You are simply some gangsters who want to enter the city to make trouble. Come here, take these people down for me, and send them to the Yamen for review. Let's see what they are doing. What are you doing!" The officer seemed to be very vigilant, he didn't even look at the guide Li Mutian handed over, and gave orders to the guards next to him.

So those imperial guards immediately leveled their spears and forced them towards Xu Yi and others. This time Li Mutian was frightened. He knew the identities of Xu Yi and others and brought them to the government. It's nothing, but Xu Yi's subordinates are all people with unclear foundations. Once someone leaks something, even he will be unlucky. Killing a person like him in the capital is not like crushing an ant. , This is a bad thing, before he could speak, cold sweat dripped down his face.

Xu Yi was also a little dazed by the sudden incident. He just wanted to see the scenery of the capital. He didn't expect to be arrested by the gatekeeper before entering the city. Of course he knew what he was doing. These people under his command Once he is caught, there is no guarantee that he will not leak his words, and his great life journey in Song Dynasty will be considered as the end here!Looking at the forbidden soldiers who forced them over, he also lost his mind for a while.

Although Li Bo and the others were also nervous, they were all warriors after all. Many things like to be solved in a simple way. How could they let these officers and soldiers be arrested?So Li Bo and the others immediately tightened their muscles and clenched the weapons in their hands. It looked like nothing, but once they got nervous, everyone showed a murderous look, and their eyes became sharper.

"What? You really want to rebel?" The officer immediately sensed the murderous aura coming from Li Bo's side, and with a bang, he pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed at Xu Yi and the others, shouting, those soldiers under him They all formed formation immediately, let out a roar, and pointed their spears at Xu Yi and the others like a forest. The forbidden soldiers on the nearby walls immediately drew their bows and aimed at them, as if they were going to shoot arrows, but Li Bo and the others Shi Ye made a gesture to draw out his fellow to resist, seeing that the situation was out of control.

Xu Yi felt that his head suddenly became much bigger. This is the land of Gyeonggi, at the gate of the emperor's father-in-law. If you are here to make gestures with the imperial army, isn't that sincere courting death?I'm afraid that if you can't run a few steps, you will be shot into a hedgehog by these officers and soldiers, and you will be wronged to death!The cold sweat dripped down, and Li Mutian beside him was even more unbearable, his legs softened, and he plopped down on the ground.

Seeing that things were about to get into trouble, Xu Yi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, quickly took something out of his arms and shouted: "Stop!..."
