Chapter 22 A fire, a sensation in Hejian Mansion; September 1, passing by Qingfengzhai

The moon hides and the sun rises, and the rabbit flies away.

Line after line.

Six or seven days passed in a hurry.

It is said that that day Huang Xin publicly ordered Chai Jin's manor to be set on fire, and the news spread to the Cangzhou Yamen the next day, and within two days, the entire Hejian Mansion was a sensation.

Thanks to being in the most marginal area of ​​the Song Dynasty, facing the Bohai Sea in the east, and next to the important military town of the Liao Kingdom, it is located on the border between the two countries, so the situation is already chaotic and complicated.

The prefect of Hejian Mansion happened to be a person with extremely keen political sense. It was said that the military officer from Qingzhou led troops to cross the border to enforce the law, and the cause of the incident was a son of the clan surnamed Zhao.

Although it wasn't the Zhao surname who ordered the arrest and arson, the prefect of Hejian knew very well that this kind of thing was not serious when he was not on the scale.

Therefore, it is best not to delve into this matter, otherwise it will burn yourself, and if you don't handle it well, you may be involved in the misfortune of the Nine Clans if you are not careful, just pretend to be confused as you don't know.

Moreover, Cangzhou is thousands of miles away from Kaifeng Mansion, and the sky is far away from the emperor. Even if the prefect of Hejian Mansion wants to report the matter to Dali Temple, he may be powerless in the short term.

Ever since, the arrest of Chai Jin and his retainers and the burning of his luxurious manor, before the storm of public opinion spread, they were suppressed by an invisible hand quite strangely, and the situation was controlled in Hejian Within the scope of the government, it did not spread widely, and then it disappeared inexplicably.

This matter will not be mentioned for the time being.

Let's say that on the ninth day of the ninth month of the Double Ninth Festival, the marching team led by Zhao Tianyin and Huang Xin was escorting Xiao Xuanfeng Chai into the culprit who harbored fugitives, as well as dozens of criminals wanted by the whole country, many of whom killed without blinking an eye The Jiangyang robbers were all tied up with shackles and hemp ropes, one after another strung together in a straight line.

Chai Jin received special treatment, and was escorted in a prison car alone.

At the end there were more than a dozen carts, all of which were full of all kinds of exquisite and expensive porcelain, copper, jade and furniture made of high-quality wood.

There was no disorder in the queue of thousands of people, the military appearance was strict, the bandits were winged and orderly, and they came to Qingfeng Town located in the southeast corner of Qingzhou without any hassle.

Originally, when the team passed Linzi, they could choose to take the newly built official road and post road to Qingzhou.

However, when Zhao Tianyin chatted with Huang Xin in his spare time, he heard that there is a thousand-year-old road not far away, which not only has a long history, but also has beautiful scenery along the way.

It's just a short detour, going north through Qingfeng Town.

At that time, Zhao Tianyin thought that it was just an extra half day's journey, and he could also drop by the famous scenic spot in "Water Margin", which almost caused Song Jiang to overturn his car, and maybe he could also get to know Xiao Li Guang Huarong and collect it. It's okay to be a subordinate.

Anyway, Zhao Tianyin had all sorts of ideas, so he led the team to Qingfeng Town by mistake.

There is a stockade in the town, which is the only government agency in the area, and it is also the official armed force used to defend against bandits nearby.

The Qingfengzhai yamen is set up here, which can not only guard the traffic lifeline of Qingzhou Ancient Road, but also take into account the water system network from the direction of Mihe Plain.

Whether it is from the military level or the economic level, Qingfeng Village can act as a good barrier.

Go north through the town for more than a hundred miles, and you can reach Qingzhou unimpeded.

And Qingfengzhai happened to be stuck at the three-way intersection leading to Qingfeng Mountain, Erlong Mountain, and Taohua Mountain. This location can be said to be an important throat.

Zhao Tianyin walked slowly on the bridle, drove his horse to a higher place, and looked around at the surrounding terrain.

But seeing that it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are rivers and streams converging in the low-lying places, so the wide valley is full of fertile land, and the golden rice fields are swaying with the wind, which is very peaceful and peaceful.

The end is a good place for Wufu and Minfeng!

Otherwise, how could such a remote mountainous town develop to a population of three to five thousand residents in ancient times when transportation and logistics were not well developed?

Zhao Tianyin's mount is comparable to a bloody horse, not inferior to the Zhaoye Jade Lion in the original book, and climbing a small hill is naturally like walking on flat ground.

Huang Xin left a large group of cavalry to follow Zhao Tianyin, or arranged to guard nearby, while he himself commanded the rest of the soldiers to escort a group of prisoners, and went to the town first.

Zhao Buzhuo, Lei Shuangying and more than a dozen personal followers followed closely on horseback.

There is also Wu Song, who has basically recovered.

The skin injuries of Zhao Buzhuo, Lei Shuangying and others have long since recovered, and now they are all alive and well.

After these days of getting along, Wu Song gradually became acquainted with Lei Shuangying, Zhao Buzhuo and others, and they even called them brothers.

As the so-called, do not fight do not know each other.

Therefore, Wu Song and Lei Shuangying quickly established a brotherly friendship, and they hit it off.

Zhao Tianyin's subordinates are all martial artists, they all like to drink, have the same interests and hobbies, and their temperaments are very compatible and congenial, so Wu Song quickly integrated into this group, and the relationship between them quickly warmed up. It's too late to meet each other.

"Wu Song, what do you think of this town?" Zhao Tianyin asked pointedly.

"Every family has fireworks, which means that every family has surplus food. It is very beautiful to have enough food and clothing."

After blurting out the answer, Wu Song took the initiative to help Zhao Tianyin lead the horse to explore the way, feeling quite like holding the whip and falling the stirrup for him.

"That's right! But it's the ordinary life of the common people who live and work in peace and contentment, but some people want to destroy it because of their own selfish desires, or for the so-called loyalty of you people in the Jianghu."

Zhao Tianyin first stated the facts, and then asked again: "Do you think this kind of person should be brought to justice?"

"Everything the young master says is correct, and the villain absolutely agrees." Wu Song is also a man with a quick mind, so how could he fail to recognize who Zhao Tianyin was talking about?

Zhao Tianyin smiled, and continued: "There are great righteousness and small righteousness in the world, and most of the so-called green forest heroes, what they do is nothing more than small righteousness. But it is not enough to die because of small righteousness. pity!"

Seeing that Wu Song didn't say anything, Zhao Tianyin glanced at him, and continued: "Don't look disapproving. Do you know how many bandits and bandits that Chai Jin secretly funded for the Chai official you thought of? The white-clothed scholar Wang Lun of Boliang Mountain has a close relationship with him."

"The villagers around Liangshanshuibo live by fishing. Their living conditions in the past should be similar to those in Qingfeng Town now, and even better than the people here. But now they are fighting for a fish that was indispensable on the table in the past. Worried, even pale and emaciated."

"It is true that the people's poor livelihood in some places today is inseparable from the local corrupt officials. But you ask yourself, the villages near Shuibo Liangshan, and this Qingfeng Town, these honest and responsible people, don't provoke anyone. ? Why do you deserve to be broken by those bandits and bandits?

Wu Song seemed to be a little shaken by Zhao Tianyin's righteous words, but he lowered his head in shame and didn't look at the road. He led the horse and walked quickly, and soon turned over the small slope and came to the The main road of the town.

At present, Qingfeng Town only has Huarong, the Zhizhai, and Liu Gao, the Zhengzhizhai in the original book, has not been transferred yet.

At this time, Hua Rong, who was inspecting the soldiers' drills in the stockade, heard the report from the sentry upstairs that a large number of officers and soldiers were coming here.

Chai Jin took it for granted that the senior military officer from Qingzhou had led his troops to patrol here, so he hurried back to his residence in Dazhai, put on his formal armor, and was ready to meet him.
