Sword narration is painful in the world

When Hong Lingquan said that the emperor had made him the fourth-grade prefect and that he would soon go to Huai'an Prefecture to take office, Song Yu turned pale with anxiety and hurriedly shook his head like a rattle and shouted:

"Oh, my lord, this is no child's play. Two years ago, I went to Zhun'an Mansion and saw the situation there with my own eyes. That ghost place was really infested with bandits, and there were hordes of tigers and wolves. In broad daylight, People are killed on the street without anyone noticing. It is even more common for local bureaucrats and bullies to oppress the people and disregard human life.

What's more, there is a local bully named Yu Wuyang. This bully always takes human life seriously and preys on the common people. Even the government can do nothing about him. He has served as prefect, and he has killed and expelled many. As long as you don't listen to him, there will be absolutely no consequences. Good ending,

This man also had four overlords, each with hundreds of thugs. These people were all criminals in the world. They had committed too many crimes and had nowhere to hide, so they came to Huai'an Mansion and defected to Yu Wuyang.

Sir, don't you think about it, with these people causing chaos in Huai'an Prefecture, will the people there still have any chance of survival? It is simply dark. Not to mention you are a nerdy civil servant, I am afraid you are just a military attaché with hundreds of soldiers. When we get to Huai'an Prefecture, it's probably going to be very bad, and we'll never come back."

Seeing Song Yu being so anxious, Hong Lingquan smiled. In fact, Xiangguo Li had already mentioned these situations just now, but he was determined to go there even if there were thousands of difficulties and dangers.

Hong Lingquan believed that since he was an official of the imperial court and would be a pastor in the future, as the food, clothing and parents of the people, how could he allow these evil people to do evil?

If you only consider your personal safety, how can you be worthy of the emperor's great favor, and how can you be worthy of the eighteen generations of Hong family's ancestors.

So Hong Lingquan said to Song Yu again:

"Thank you for your kindness, brother. I have made up my mind to go to Huai'an Mansion to take up my post. Even if there is an abyss ahead, I will not hesitate to do so. However, I think that if I can conquer this group of evil people, change the local situation, and save the people, If the water is dire and the fire is hot, I will die without regrets."

At this moment, Song Yu was deeply moved by Hong Lingquan's awe-inspiring righteousness, so he said again:

"Since Mr. Hong recognizes me as a brother and sees that you have such great ambitions, I decided to accompany you to Huai'an Mansion. I hope that Mr. Hong can go to uphold justice for the people, eliminate the tyrants and bring peace to the people, and let the local people see the light of day again. I, Song Yu, will not do it in vain. Once upon a time, an upright man died."

Seeing that Song Yu was so generous, Hong Lingquan was quite moved. After thanking him with his hands and fists, he went to Huai'an.

The matter of taking office in the government has been decided.

At this time Song Yu asked again:

"In that case, sir, when do you plan to leave?"

Hong Lingquan replied:

"The documents from the imperial court are expected to be issued soon. Once I complete the handover, I can leave according to the emperor's order."

Song Yu thought for a moment and then said:

"When you go to Huai'an Mansion, you are actually playing into the hands of the old thief Yan Rong. I don't know whose slander that little fool has listened to, but he doesn't know that this trip may kill you. But I don't think the old thief Yan Rong will do it in half." An assassin was sent to kill you, so I have to go out for a few days, but please don't worry, I will come back as soon as possible, or go directly to Huai'an Mansion to meet you."

Hong Lingquan originally wanted to keep Song Yu, but since he had something to do, he couldn't force it, so he nodded in agreement.

After seeing off Song Yu the next day, Hong Lingquan got busy. First, the old prime minister Li Chaozhong came to visit in person, and repeatedly warned him to be cautious in everything he did when he went to Huai'an and not to force himself. If it really didn't work, he would write to him as soon as possible. , Lao Xiangguo will think of other ways.

Then, Yan Rong, an old thief, unexpectedly sent someone a gift, as if he was out of public interest for the sake of governing the country and wishing Hong Lingquan a smooth journey.

Soon, after the news spread that Hong Ling was leaving Quanzhou, the officials in the county government were all in tears.

The people in the capital also sighed. Ever since Hong Lingquan became the magistrate of Kyoto, he had been enforcing the law impartially and making decisions for the people. The people felt that they would be reluctant to leave such a good magistrate.

Two days later, when the official documents from the Ministry of Personnel came out, Hong Lingquan had already arranged all the affairs and was about to leave today.

At this time, many civil and military officials from Chaoyanli came to see him off. Some of these people respected Hong Lingquan and sincerely, and some came for the sake of the face of the old Prime Minister Li Chao. Everyone said After some polite words of care and encouragement, Hong Lingquan thanked them one by one and said goodbye. Then he took a few government servants on the road, then left the capital and went straight to Zhun'an Mansion.

Just when Long Baoshan was leaving, Yan Rong had already sent his confidants to Huai'an Mansion.

The old thief Yan Rong wrote a handwritten letter to Yu Wuyang, introducing Hong Lingquan's character and relationship with Li Chaozhong in detail, and warned Yu Wuyang not to underestimate Hong Lingquan and to look for opportunities to kill him. Die in order to avoid future troubles.

By the way, Hong Lingquan and his party spent the night in Xiaoxing. The journey went smoothly, but Xiaobao felt a little unhappy. He was wondering why Song Yu didn't come for so long. Could it be that he was afraid of the notorious Yu Wu Tu Gu, but Just hide away.

On this day, after the group arrived at a small town near Zhun'an Prefecture, Hong Lingquan took care of them.

The yamen servant who sent him called out and said:

"You can stay for half a day tomorrow. I will take Xiaobao away for a day, and then we will meet directly in Huai'an Mansion."

Although the government officials were a little worried, seeing that Hong Lingquan insisted on doing this, they could only obey his orders.

Early the next morning, Hong Lingquan had already changed into a green hat and dressed up as a businessman. Xiaobao also dressed up as a clerk, had breakfast and set out on the road.

Hong Lingquan thought that although the situation introduced to him by Old Xiangguo and Song Yu would not be false, Bi Jing's hearing was false and his seeing was believing. He had to personally

Let's first conduct a private visit incognito to see how dark the Huai'an Mansion is, how sinister and sinister the Huaiyin Marquis Yu Wuyang is, and how much suffering the people are suffering.

At nearly noon, Hong Lingquan, the master and servant, arrived in front of the west gate of Huai'an Mansion. As soon as they entered the city gate, they suddenly heard the rapid sound of horse hooves behind them.

Hong Lingquan looked back and saw that the horse was running very fast, so he hurriedly dodged to the left. However, because it had rained two days ago, a lot of rainwater had accumulated in the city gate. When the two of them tried to move aside, the fast horse stopped. arrive.

I saw the horse galloping through the rain, which immediately splashed onto Hong Lingquan and Xiaobao. Hong Lingquan looked at the saddle and saw a handsome young man riding on the horse.

I also saw the white horse under this man's crotch. There was not a single hair on the whole body, and it was white and translucent.

This young man is about six or seven feet tall. He has a slender waist and broad back, hugged shoulders, good facial features, an oval face, two sharp eyebrows, a pair of big eyes, black eyes, a high nose bridge, a caltrop mouth, and white teeth. Lipstick.

Looking at this person's attire again, I saw that he was wearing a hat, a small black coat, a sky blue cross-loop hero belt, double butterfly buckles, soft-top thin-soled fast boots, and a sky blue big-collar hero jacket. , wearing a sword on the left side.

The sword has a green sharkskin sheath, a red gold guard, and a golden lantern tassel with two orbs inlaid on it.

Looking at this man, he is only about twenty-one or twelve years old, similar to Hong Lingquan's age. He has a delicate figure and a majestic appearance.

Although he was not annoyed by the splashing water, Hong Lingquan couldn't help but admired in his heart:

"What a heroic spirit."
