Chapter 113 Qingzhou, New Year’s Eve, Li Qingzhao (1)
Huarui rescued Mrs. Sun Liu and disappeared.
Zhou Tong didn't dare to pursue him, so he returned to the village and was ruthless for a long time. After being persuaded by Li Zhong, the tiger-killing general, he finally let it go.
Hua Rong was a powerful martial artist and an official of the imperial court. He had troops stationed in Qingfeng Village. With just a few hundred men in Taohua Mountain, it was undoubtedly a dream to go to Qingfeng Village to seek revenge on Hua Rong's sister.
And Zhou Tong thought he was unlucky, but before he could recover, an army of officers and soldiers came from the foot of the mountain, under the banner of the Fuhu Army, and called the mountain to fight.
"Official army? Qingzhou army?" Li Zhong asked in shock.
The minion shook his head: "It's the banner of the Fuhu Army that came to Qingzhou recently!"
Li Zhong gasped.
Li Zhong, the general who fights tigers, is actually a traveling entertainer with mediocre skills. When he saw the recent news in Qingzhou of the brave and invincible Fuhu Army attacking the mountain stronghold, he felt a chill in his heart. He knew that the mountain could no longer survive, and a desire arose in his heart.
Retreat.
Zhou Tong, however, ordered three hundred men and rushed down the mountain. When he saw the banners of the Fuhu Army on the opposite side, the troops were in good order and filled with murderous intent, and his heart went crazy.
Luan Tingyu rushed out of the formation on horseback and held a stick.
Of course, Zhou Tong couldn't be frightened, and shouted: "Who are you, who dare to come to my Peach Blossom Mountain to show off your power?"
Luan Tingyu laughed loudly: "I am the chief instructor of the Fuhu Army, Luan Tingyu! Zhou Tong, if you dismount and surrender, I will spare your life."
Zhou Tong gritted his teeth and rushed into the battle. He originally wanted to fight Luan Tingyu for three to five rounds, but then fled back to the mountain. However, in less than one round, he was knocked off his horse by Luan Tingyu with a stick.
Luan Tingyu took Zhou Tong and saw that the Taohua Mountain was gentle and there was no danger to defend, so he led five hundred troops and horses to rush up the mountain. It was already an empty stronghold. The tiger general Li Zhong had already taken away the wealth and silk in the stronghold, and brought several
A confidant fled from the back mountain.
…
Huarui returned to Qingfeng Village, and Wang Lin and his party had just left for Qingzhou.
Seeing that her sister was a little disappointed and stood in the hall in a daze, Hua Rong couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Sister, my dear brother Wang Lin set off to Qingzhou to meet Murong Yanda. After that, he will return to Daqingfeng Village and pass by. I made an agreement with him to spend the Yuan Dynasty here.
Festival, you don’t have to be impatient!”
Huarui shook her head: "Brother, it didn't matter whether I saw Wang Lin or not, but now..."
Huarui lowered her voice and said: "Brother, this time I followed Liu Gao's people and entered Yangma Mountain by mistake. Deep in Yangma Mountain, I discovered a huge silver mine. It was built without the supervision of the Yu Department of the Imperial Ministry of Industry.
Murong Yanda’s people are collecting privately..."
Hua Rong's face changed greatly: "Murong Yanda is so brave, he dares to secretly mine silver. This is a serious crime that implicates the nine tribes!"
"I wonder how Murong Yanda sent Liu Gao to Qingfeng Village in such a good way. It turned out to be to monitor a certain family!"
"Brother, there are thousands of Qingzhou troops stationed in the silver mine, and the supplies are not a small amount. Liu Gao is able to continuously deliver supplies to the mountains under our eyes. I don't know how much Murong Yanda he took.
benefit!"
Huarui stomped her feet and said: "Actually, I don't care about Murong Yanda's illegal silver mining. I just want to rescue some weak and innocent women who are imprisoned in the mine. They are all people who have disappeared in Qingfeng Town recently. I have to hurry up."
Get rescued."
"Brother, you only have a few hundred men under your command, and you are also constrained by Liu Gao, a thief. Now the only people who can help me save people are Wang Lin's Fuhu Army. I will rush to Qingzhou to see Wang Lin.
"
Hua Rong grabbed Hua Rui and said, "Don't be impatient, sister. Murong Yanda's private silver mining is a matter of great importance, so we must proceed with caution. Don't be anxious, let me find out clearly, and then we can discuss it in the long run!"
The flower stamens shook off the flowers and said anxiously: "Brother, by the time you finish calculating, those women will probably turn into a pile of bones!"
…
At the end of the twelfth lunar month, especially after the sacrifice to the stove, the entire Qingzhou has entered a state of joy and celebration.
Every household posted peach charms, set off firecrackers, drank Tusu in social gatherings, and visited temple fairs.
This lively scene will last until the Lantern Festival.
That is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
After casually strolling around the Qingzhou Temple Fair outside the city, Wang Lin and the three of them walked around and followed the bustling crowds into Qingzhou City.
Qingzhou is a big city, far from comparable to Yizhou.
Qingzhou is actually also the administrative office of the Jingdong East Road Transfer Envoy.
However, since the beginning of last year, the imperial court has led the Jingdong East Road transfer envoy with Yun Wang Zhao Kaiyao and Murong Yanda as the deputy envoy.
Dong Hao was made to take charge of the Zhenhai Department to guard Denglai coastal defense, so Qingzhou's military and political power basically fell into the hands of Murong Yanda.
Murong Yanda did not interfere much in the military and political affairs of the other states on Jingdong East Road, but the states took care of themselves. He only focused on secretly mining his silver mine.
This is a huge gain.
Excluding the expenses of up-and-down operations and joint expenses, the Murong family has earned at least 500,000 taels of snowflake silver in the past two years. This huge profit is enough for Murong Yanda to risk beheading.
Upstairs at Xinghua Tower opposite Murong Mansion.
Although it is New Year's Eve, the city is still full of drinkers and the shops on the streets are not closed, which shows that Qingzhou is prosperous and densely populated.
In the elegant room by the window along the street, Wang Lin raised his glass and looked at the bustling Murong Mansion, without saying a word for a long time.
During the New Year's Day, people from Qingzhou's subordinates and military and political officials from various counties came to Murong's home in an endless stream, which was also the norm in officialdom. Murong Yanda might not remember who would give him gifts, but he remembered to invite them, but who didn't come?
He will definitely remember it clearly.
Yan Qing put down the wine glass and said in a low voice: "Sir, when are we going to see Murong Yanda? I always feel that it is inappropriate for you to come to Qingzhou alone. What if this dog official turns his back and refuses to recognize anyone..."
"He turns his back on me, so what can I do?"
Wang Lin smiled: "Yan Qing, our army trained across the border and destroyed the bandits in Taohua Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain in Qingzhou. It was just a simple matter and a casual matter. But if we raise troops to Qingzhou and march to the city, what kind of nature will it be?
That has changed. Murong Yanda and the people behind him will definitely not give up."
"Although I'm not afraid of trouble, there's no need to get into such trouble."
Wang Lin drank the wine in the cup and said: "I don't care how Murong Yanda took bribes and perverted the law in Qingzhou, and how the people's resentment boiled. Anyway, there are so many corrupt officials in the Song Dynasty. One more Murong Yanda is not much, and one missing him is not enough."
Quite a few! As long as he mobilizes two thousand troops and horses, we will pass along Qingzhou and go to Dengzhou to continue deploying troops."
"You bastard, drink a couple of drinks or you'll get into trouble!"
Yan Qing took the wine glass from Li Kui's hand in an angry manner. Li Kui was furious and was about to explode when he saw Wang Lin glaring over him, so he lowered his head and did not dare to say anything more.
"Sir, what if Murong Yanda is still pushing back and making excuses for delay?"
Wang Lin sneered: "We can only be polite first and then fight. I personally came to Qingzhou to mediate with him and gave him enough face. If he still delays and shirks, it will be Murong Yanda's open defiance of the imperial edict. Then, we will have the means to send troops."
reason."
"My subordinate understands." Yan Qing cupped his hands and said.
Li Kui grinned: "I'm afraid of a bird. If anyone dares to harm my brother, I will chop off his head with an ax and use it as a kick!"
What a bastard! Yan Qing could only smile bitterly.
In fact, Wang Lin is fully prepared.
Erlong Mountain served as the base for the Fuhu Army, and Yang Zhi led a battalion to station in Qingfeng Mountain. Presumably Luan Tingyu had already led his men to capture Taohua Mountain and stationed another battalion at this time.
If something unexpected happens here in Qingzhou, a three-pronged raid and five thousand soldiers and horses to capture Qingzhou will be just around the corner.
Of course, this cannot be done unless absolutely necessary.
After all, Murong Yanda was a corrupt official, not a rebellious one.
…
Murong Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, the streets and alleys in Qingzhou City were brightly lit, and the crisp sounds of firecrackers were set off.
In the evening, Murong Yanda held a New Year's Eve banquet in his mansion.
In addition to various members of the government, the banquet attendees also included celebrities from all walks of life in Qingzhou, as well as wealthy businessmen. To put it bluntly, everyone came to give gifts, and Murong Yanda took care of the New Year's Eve dinner, that's all.
"Sir, Wang Lin, a man from Qinghe County, the governor of Yizhou and the commander of the Fuhu Army, would like to see you!"
When the servant came to report, Murong Yanda's expression changed, and all the officials and businessmen in Qingzhou present were also surprised.
The Fuhu Army has been making a lot of noise in Qingzhou these days, and Wang Lin is quite famous, but no one expected that Wang Lin would actually come to Qingzhou City on New Year's Eve and come to see Murong Yan.
Da.
Do you still dare to come to Qingzhou to see me? Are you looking for death?
Murong Yanda sneered in his heart, but smiled softly on his face: "Please come in, Wang Jun!"
Under the moonlight, Wang Lin, Yan Qing and Li Kui, under the guidance of his servants, entered the back garden of Murong's family where they were hosting a banquet. He didn't care when he saw that the house was full of people and noisy people, but went straight to Murong Yanda and bowed his hands in greeting: "Your Majesty.
Lin, I have met Murong Mansion Master!"
Murong Yanda looked at Wang Lin and was secretly surprised to see that he was younger than he thought.
Everyone's attention fell on Wang Lin, and many were shocked. Many people thought that Wang Lin was a general like Qin Ming, but they didn't expect that the most famous disciple of the Emperor in the world, Fuhu God General Wang Lin, was actually such a handsome person.
A handsome and handsome young man!
Murong Yanda stood up slowly, with a strong fake smile on his face: "It turns out to be the envoy Wang Jun! I don't know that the envoy Wang Jun is not in Yizhou on business, so why did he come to Qingzhou on New Year's Eve?"
Just pretend, see how long you can pretend.
Wang Lin smiled lightly: "I was ordered by His Highness the Crown Prince to lead the Fuhu Army for long-distance training. I arrived in Qingzhou a few days ago... No, it was the New Year's Eve and I came to Qingzhou to pay homage to Murong Mansion. I didn't prepare any gifts, but
Please forgive me, Mr. Fu."
Murong Yanda said calmly: "The Fuhu Army is stationed in Yizhou and traveled hundreds of miles from Yizhou to train in our Qingzhou territory. It is quite strange."
"There is nothing surprising. The Fuhu Army is a forbidden army train. The official has an order and directly obeys the orders of the East Palace. The Fuhu Army was ordered to train long distances and came from Yizhou. It was not only in Qingzhou, but also after the Shangyuan Festival.
I will also patrol Denglai and even the sea!"
As soon as Wang Lin said this, he sat up and was shocked.
