There was a commotion outside the car. Two young men in short attire were grabbing the Xia family's coachman and beating him with fists and feet. The coachman squatted under the car with his head in his hands, begging for mercy.
At a glance, Su Jin saw Zhu Yanei, dressed as a fake handsome man with a red pom-pom in his hat and fluttering white clothes, lighting the Xia family's coachman with a folding fan and saying with foaming foam at the mouth: "Show me hard.
You and I are quarrelsome."
Su Jin shouted loudly: "Stop beating up civilians in broad daylight, Mr. Zhu, why haven't you improved?"
Zhu Tianshun trembled and looked up in disbelief. He saw that the person in front of him was his old enemy and life-long enemy. Su Jin felt a little cold in his heart, but his mouth was tight and he glared: "It turns out that Su Xiaoguan is from nowhere in the world."
I met you in Luzhou, but I didn’t expect to meet you again when I came to Yingtian Mansion. Are you telling me to stop, young official?"
Su Jin took a mouthful of blood and said, "Aren't I telling you that I'm talking to a wild dog on the roadside? Tell your bastard to stop immediately. We'll talk about it after we find out what happened."
When Zhu Yameni saw Su Jin calling him a domineering dog, he suddenly became angry and shouted: "Hit him hard, hard."
Seeing him getting more serious, Su Jin reached into the sedan and said to Xia Silin: "Brother, bring me the big inkstone from my book box."
Xia Silin was about to get out of the car and didn't know what Su Jin wanted the inkstone for. He took out the inkstone, jumped out of the car and handed it to Su Jin's hand. Su Jin shook his head and raised his hand towards Zhu Tianshun and said, "Young Master Yanei is quite forgetful.
ri In the lobby, Mr. Ben once told you to be careful when you see me in the future. Don’t cause trouble for me again. I didn’t expect that you didn’t take it to heart at all. Anyway, now that your scar has healed and you have forgotten the pain, I don’t mind doing it for you again.
I, the magistrate, will discipline you so much that you will lose all your teeth today."
While Su Jin was holding the inkstone, Zhu Tian already felt something bad. As soon as Su Jin spoke, his eyebrows raised and his eyes widened. It was exactly the same moment when he hit himself with a brick. Zhu Tianshun didn't dare to argue anymore and raised his legs to leave.
Su Jin was just pretending to run away when Zhu Tianshun ran away without pursuing him, and said sarcastically: "Thieves and thieves bully the weak and are afraid of the strong. If I were not eager to go to school today, I would not have anything to do with you."
Zhu Tianshun turned a deaf ear and instantly flashed around the corner without a trace.
The two boys ran away when they saw that their yamen was deserted. They grabbed the driver's collar and were stunned. They didn't know whether they should continue to beat him or not. Su Jin rushed forward, one by one, and kicked the two of them all the way away, saying: "Get the hell out of here, you mother."
Why don't you learn and learn to be a talisman? Go back and tell you that this matter in the yamen is not over yet."
The two boys held their chests and couldn't breathe for a long time. They secretly cried out that it was bad luck. They came early this morning to give Mr. Yanei some clothes and money. Unexpectedly, Mr. Yanei was walking sideways. The carriage was so fast that it almost hit Yanei. Mr. Yanei ordered the boy to be beaten.
How could we refuse and we had no choice but to take action? Unexpectedly, when we met Su Jin, he beat up his coachman today. This matter would become a big deal.
The two of them knew Su Jin when they were in Luzhou. The whole city was familiar with what Su Jin had committed in Luzhou. Everyone knew that this man was very brave and liked to slap people. The Poetry Club invited four scholars to attack in front of the prefect's Yamen.
Even Yanei was not spared. The two heroes did not suffer the immediate disadvantages. They got up with Su Jin's kick and ran away without looking back.
Su Jin cursed a few words and pulled up the moaning coachman. The coachman had a bruised nose and a swollen face, and his clothes were full of footprints. The beating was really hard.
Xia Silin was still in shock and asked about the coachman's injury before he got up. The coachman got up and leaned against the shaft of the coach to rest for a while and said: "Young master, don't worry, you are young and your body is strong. You can survive these few blows. I'm afraid that the two boys' fists will be swollen when they go home."
A few days.”
Su Jin rolled his eyes and said: If I had known you were so arrogant, I should have just stood by and let you suffer a lot.
Xia Silin said: "It's okay, just be careful next time you drive. You can drive the driver to the field to rest. Mr. Su and I also need to walk. Cars and horses are not allowed in the front."
The coachman grunted and climbed onto the carriage shaft. Su Jin sucked his bleeding lips while lifting two book boxes out of the carriage. Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them hurried inside.
Nearing the gate of the academy, Xia Silin stopped Su Jin and stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of Su Jin's mouth with a handkerchief. He also helped Su Jin tidy up his clothes, and then with a blushing face, he took the book box from Su Jin's hand.
Go through the door first.
Su Jin was stunned. At the moment when Xia Silin was helping him wipe the blood, Su Jin suddenly remembered the scene when Yan Biyun helped him bandage his wounds in Luzhou. At that moment, Xia Silin looked like Yan Biyun had a smile on his eyebrows.
The meaning of love and compassion can make people feel a little stirred in their hearts.
Two college servants pushed the college and locked it up with a creaking sound. Su Jin woke up and waved his hand: "Don't... wait for me to enter."
The two servants stopped and waited for Su Jin to rush in, then closed the door and muttered: "Standing outside for a long time, who knew you came in to study and thought you were a beggar?"
Su Jin had no time to pay attention to the mutterings of the two of them. He reached out and took out a bunch of money from his arms, threw it on the ground and kept saying, "Take these dozens and two of them to drink tea and take care of them later."
The two handymen were overjoyed and hurriedly picked up the copper coins in the dust. They didn't expect that they could make some money in a poor place like the academy. It was the first time they had ever done it. The words in their mouths changed immediately.
"No matter how you look at this young man, he is a candidate for the imperial examination and high school. The way he runs is like a dragon walking like a tiger."
"You have to look like an official just now, standing outside the academy, and you must be really thinking about poetry."
"You must be so engrossed in the sight of the strange light that you must be thinking about the truth of the world, which makes people admire you."
Su Jin had already gone far away amid the compliments from the two of them. He saw that there was no one in the academy and felt a chill in his heart. He was afraid that he might be late. He didn't know if the academy had any punishment measures for late students.
But at this time, the deal was already done and there was no choice but to run towards Ming Lun Hall where the study hall was located.
…
…
In the courtyard of a large house in Tianshuijing Hutong outside Lijing Gate of Bianliang City, Yan Shu, the Third Secretary of the Song Dynasty, was meeting with several travel-worn travelers in the main hall.
The main hall of the Yan Mansion is elegantly decorated. Yan Shu, Eguan Bo, is sitting on a big chair at the head. Sitting opposite are three soldiers in armor. The three of them have dusty faces. The armor is piled up with loess, making it look dirty.
The magnificence is extremely disproportionate.
One of the three people has a handsome face with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Under the armor, he has a pair of piercing black eyes. The older he is in his thirties, the more eye-catching is the large tattoo on his handsome cheek. From this mark, we can roughly judge that he is a prisoner of the Song Dynasty.
This person had been sentenced to prison.
Yan Shu was reading a letter, his brows furrowed into a knot. After a long while, he put down the letter and said to the stabbing man: "Commander Di, Deputy Commander Fan, how is your health?"
The person who stabbed him said: "You are still in good health, but you have more gray hair."
"The war at the border is not going well. It's not just Fan Gong's gray hair that has increased, I'm afraid the emperor's face will also become more gloomy." Yan Shu sighed.
"I will be busy waiting for the incompetent instructor." Commander Di said sadly with a guilty look on his face.
Yan Shu said: "Commander Di is well-known among the fierce generals under Mr. Fan. I have heard in the capital that I have shed blood and sweat for the country. Why should I blame myself? The defeat this time was not due to the general but to the handsome Mr. Han and Mr. Xia."
The decision was wrong."
Commander Di said with a sad look on his face: "Your Excellency Mingjian wants to be the day when Han Shuai received the battle report of the Xixia army's invasion of Weizhou. He immediately sent General Ren Fu to lead the army to attack. Initially, the Xixia army was frustrated and retreated. Ren Fu ordered an urgent pursuit. He pursued them directly.
However, at the foot of Liupan Mountain in the Western Xia Kingdom, they were ambushed and surrounded at the mouth of the Haoshui River. Ren Fu and other 16 generals died in the battle, and more than 10,000 soldiers died tragically. Thousands of family members of the dead were encountered along the way. They cried and prayed for the souls of their relatives who died in the battle.
Being able to follow Han Shuai back. Han Shuai also stood on his horse and wept and regretted endlessly. But it was actually not Han Shuai but Mr. Xia who ordered the pursuit. Mr. Xia is a full-time official. Mr. Han and Mr. Fan are both deputies. There is nothing we can do about it."
Yan Shu frowned and said: "The imperial court originally wanted Han and Fan to be in charge of military matters regarding Yanzhou. Sir Xia is only responsible for logistics. Why do you come up with such ridiculous and random ideas?"
Commander Di cupped his hands and said: "Di Qing did not dare to say anything about the matters between the adults, but in the end he thought that losing the war might not be a bad thing. This time I was sent to Beijing by Mr. Fan to help Mr. Yan to give more advice to the court about the war in the northwest. I, Song Dynasty,
The main force of the army is infantry, but the main force is cavalry. The main force is not inferior to our army in numbers. Lord Fan wants to adopt an active defense strategy, but Lord Xia's proactive attack strategy has been proven to be a mistake."
Yan Shu nodded and said: "Your Lord Fan is right. Fighting with Xixia soldiers who are good at cavalry on foot is an unwise move. Needless to say, I have to persuade the emperor to adopt Duke Fan's strategy. Commander, don't worry."
Di Qing stood up and fell to the ground. The two guards beside him also stood up and bowed to Di Qing and said, "Thank you very much, sir. Now that I have completed my duties as a general, I will take my leave."
Yan Shu said in astonishment: "Why are you so eager? It's not too late to leave after lunch."
Di Qing said: "The military situation in Yanzhou is so fierce that I can't stay here for long. Lord Fan is still waiting eagerly for the general's reply and your thoughts. After the general has driven out the Western thieves, I will come to bother you."
Yan Shu nodded and said, "You might as well be careful to greet Mr. Fan and Mr. Han for me along the way."
Di Qing said: "General, I will take my leave now as ordered."
After saying goodbye, the three of them left the hall. A servant had already brought the well-fed war horse over, and put a leather bag full of dry food and water on the horse's back. Di Qing and his two guards handed him over and left. The horse turned over and faced the scorching sun.
