The little girl raised her head and thought for a while while chewing the sesame paste cake, and suddenly said to Song Wen: "You are so awesome. I seem to have heard my father say that those maritime merchants traveling to Ryukyu in Nanyang will indeed take beans out to sea... stay at sea
After a long time, soak the bean sprouts in water and eat them. They hid this method from the Japanese and Korean people. My father helped him once and they told me about it. But we don't go too far from the coast easily, so we don't need it.
"
“What are the maritime merchants from the south doing in Dengzhou?”
"They wanted to try the sea route of Japan, but there were too many pirates here, so they went back."
Song Wen was in awe. It turned out that he was the earliest explorer to explore maritime trade routes... Unfortunately, without the support of the imperial court, this kind of exploration would not have taken off at all. The sea route to the Japanese country was actually quite mature in the Han and Tang Dynasties, but there were only a few people traveling between it and the country.
They were Japanese envoys and businessmen who took advantage of the experience. Fuso folding fans were already very popular in the markets of the Tang Dynasty.
Song Wen used a knife to pry open a rough porcelain jar, and a faint aroma of pear instantly filled the air... The little girl was so surprised that the beef and sesame cake in her mouth fell out.
"Is it really a pear? Can this thing really be stored for half a year?"
Song Wen smiled and said: "In the future, if I become proficient in the craftsmanship, it may not be a problem to store it for a year!"
A guard on sentry duty in the distance suddenly stood up next to the stone, unsheathed his sword and asked: "Who is it? Come out!"
An Chun jumped up instantly and unsheathed his sword... "Brother, step back, you two protect him, Xiaoliu and I come over to take a look!"
"It's an order..."
Three waist knives were unsheathed, and two guards guarded Song Wen's side. An Chun walked out quickly.
After a while, An Chun came back with a frown and reported: "Brother, they are two men in trouble... one of them was injured, with a knife in his back! The injury was serious, and the man who called himself brother begged us to save him.
My brother’s life.”
"What identity?"
"Prisoner! There is a tattoo on his forehead, and his clothes must have been looted. He claimed to be from Maoxian County, Xuzhou. He was sentenced to assassination in Hejian Prefecture for injuring an official... It turned out that the four guards were ordered by the magistrate of Maoxian County.
, trying to kill their brothers on the way, the two of them killed several guards and fled westward... They wanted to make a detour and escape to Chuzhou to join a good man named Song!"
Song Wen was stunned for a moment... "Chuzhou? Someone named Song... bring them over and have a look."
After a while, a man with a wounded number on his back was brought over. The man carefully put down his brother behind him, then he knelt down on the ground and clasped his fists and said: "This high official, please have mercy on us and save our brothers! Look, big man.
Officials dress like heroes and walk around the world. We are all helpless people... we just want to escape and recover from our injuries before seeking revenge on that dog official! Please have mercy and save my brothers, otherwise three members of my family will be killed.
It will be difficult to avenge you!"
Song Wen held up the man with one hand and asked: "This good man has a great name? Why did he offend the officials of Namao County?"
The man in his thirties wiped away his tears and said: "My family is also an old family in Maoxian County. My brother used to be a village soldier and worked in the county office. I did some small business to support my old mother. That day, I was a tax collector.
Da passed by my house and insisted on teasing my wife... My wife refused, and the baby came up crying and was kicked half to death by Niu Da, the brother of the county magistrate's concubine. My younger brother came home first and saw the miserable situation in the house, and he was furious.
He rushed to the county government office and broke both of Niuda's legs! Then..."
Then there was no more... The county magistrate's brother-in-law was beaten to a disability. Firstly, he couldn't save his face! Secondly, how could the little wife let it go?
So the two brothers were sentenced to five years of hard labor in the prison camp of Hejian Mansion with a cane and thirty thorns! As a result, the four guards who escorted them to hard labor added heavy shackles to them halfway, and then drew knives and pressed them on their necks.
Tell them... if they offend Mr. Wu, they will not survive, and they will be sent to hell to reunite with their families!
The younger brother was good at martial arts. When he heard that his sister-in-law, nephew and mother had probably been killed, his eyes immediately turned red! He kicked a security guard away and started fighting with a few guys. He was cut with a knife before he broke free.
He took off the iron chains and heavy shackles, grabbed a knife and hacked all four guards to death... Finally, he lost too much blood and passed out. After bandaging each other, the elder brother picked up the younger brother and fled southwest, intending to hide in the day and night.
He ran to Chuzhou and sought refuge with a hero to seek revenge.
"My lord, Wu Rong, this is my foolish brother Wu Song! Our family has suffered such a blood feud... I beg the officials to have mercy and save my brother!"
Song Wen's eyes almost flew out. He trembled and pointed at the man of medium height and good features and asked: "What do you think your name is? Wu Rong... This man is Wu Song? Is your name Wu Dalang? His name is Wu Dalang."
Takejiro?"
The man was a little confused and answered: "On weekdays, neighbors call us two brothers like this. Why do the officials ask this question? Do you know my second son?"
"Then what's your wife's name? But...Pan Jinlian?"
"No, my wife's maiden name is indeed Pan... but her name is Pan Xiaoye!"
Song Wen only felt a hallucination of time and space. Wu Dalang was not a dwarf... and his wife was not Pan Jinlian. What about Ximen Qing?
No matter what, it seems that Wu Song was indeed among the thirty-six thieves of Jingdong who followed Song Jiang to cause trouble. He followed Song Jiang because he killed officials and broke the law! Li Kui also did exist, but he was later caught and executed by officers and soldiers. The rest are
I don’t know who the real Song Wen was...
Wu Song died on the ground with a pale complexion, while Wu Dalang stood aside alive and kicking... Song Wen thought for a moment, fearing that the Wu brother had returned to Maoxian alive, and even killed Magistrate Wu to avenge himself and his family!
It is estimated that Wu Dalang failed to escape, and only Wu Song survived and was forced to rebel with Song Jiang.
In the end, the Thirty-Six Bandits of Jingdong, which shocked Bianliang, brought nearly ten thousand rebel troops to attack the city, and even Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, was shocked. As a result, before the imperial army could be mobilized, Haizhou Zhizhou Zhang Shuye led Haizhou troops to set up an ambush and defeated Song Jiang's rebels.
, Song Jiang was forced to surrender helplessly.
But none of Song Jiang's men were obedient. After surrendering, they rebelled again, and were defeated again... Song Jiang and a group of brother leaders were almost all killed, and the vigorous Jingdong Rebel Army disappeared so quickly.
This is the real prototype in the history of Shuibo Liangshan, the true history of the uprising of the Thirty-Six Bandits of Jingdong led by Song Jiang.
While Song Wen held back his racing thoughts, he still asked without giving up: "In this case, how can we ignore death... But there is a man I don't know, do you know him?"
"I wonder who it is?"
"Ximen Qing, known as Ximen Daguanren..."
Wu Dalang nodded: "Did my benefactor ever go to Mao County? There is indeed such a person. He is a close friend of the magistrate Gouguan. He opened a herbal medicine shop and did a good business in grain..."
Well, I finally found someone who matched my number.
Song Wen and An Chun came over and tore open the tattered clothes and dirty linen on Wu Song's back... revealing a seven-inch long horrific wound with rolled flesh.
