The first cause of all realms

Chapter 15 Yunzhou, Xu Wenji!

"Xu Wenji?"

There was a surprised exclamation from upstairs, and everyone downstairs was also in an uproar.

Storytelling is often exaggerated, and the fame of the storytellers is so famous that the audience didn't care about it at first, it was just a gimmick.

At this moment they heard the word 'Xu Wenji', and the crowd became shocked.

Yang Yu's heart was also shocked.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Xu Wenji's name may not be so great in other places, but in Qingzhou and Yunzhou, it is very famous.

There are even few comparables.

Xu Wenji, whose real name is Xu Chong, was born in the Xieliang Mansion in Yunzhou. His father was a poor local scholar who was not good at making a living. Although his family was not extremely poor, he was not rich either.

But when he was three or four years old, his father died, and all the land and acres in the family were occupied by the tribe.

His mother survived the deprivation of her house just now by forcing her to die. She made a living by helping others spin and wash clothes, and brought up Xu Wenji.

Under such circumstances, Xu Wenji doesn't like to study, but likes to be a chivalrous man, so he hangs out on the street all day long.

Until one day, his mother was seriously ill and called him to the bed, weeping:

"Son, when your mother dies, you must not let her be buried with your father in peace. Just light a fire and burn your mother, and sprinkle it in the mountains!"

Xu Wenji was shocked and hurriedly asked why.

His mother was in tears, and said: "After your father died, I will guard your mother for ten years and bring you up. I don't expect you to shine on the lintel, but you hang around like this, and you are in danger. One day, the Xu family will be extinct."

"How can I have the face to go down to see your father?"

Xu Wenji felt remorseful and studied hard from now on.

But it has been abandoned for many years, and its understanding is only human, even if it works hard and self-disciplines to the point where teachers and gentlemen admire it.

At the age of 26, he can only be regarded as a scholar.

With Nie Wendong who had met once, in this year, Nie Wendong, who was only [-] years old, had already won the top three and was famous in Qingyun and two prefectures.

After this incident, Xu Wenji understood that he could not waste his life in the imperial examination, so he gave up his pen and returned to his hometown in Yunzhou to start from the bottom.

It took 30 years to go from a headhunter in a small county in Yunzhou to the capital step by step.

At that time, Nie Wendong, who was ten years younger than him, was already the lord of Qingzhou and a great official in frontiers.

However, when he entered Beijing, this old man who was nearly sixty years old began his legendary life.

He fights against corrupt officials, corrects the atmosphere, rectifies the administration of officials, eliminates the unhealthy tendencies in Kyoto, and even overthrows the chief assistant 'Wang Qinglin' ​​who is in power.

No one knows how he did it, but he did it after all.

And his life is much more than that.

Because he made many enemies in the imperial court, he was eventually demoted as the head of any prefecture in Youzhou. Youzhou is located in the frontier, and the cavalry of the Golden Tent Royal Court harassed the border all the year round.

But it only took him seven years to smash his mansion into a monolith, and it radiated to the whole Youzhou.

Only with its available soldiers, it defeated the Zuo Khan King 'Nayudu' of the Golden Tent King Ting, who was feared by all the princes of the court.

After this stop, he became famous all over the world, from officials to ministers of the Ministry of War, the first emperor called him "the pillar of the country".

Such a person was actually transferred to Qingzhou to suppress the rebellion?
Could it be that Qingzhou has been corrupted to this point?

Or, the new emperor doesn't like this veteran of the two dynasties, the pillar of the country?

"How could it be Xu Wenji?"

The door of the private room on the second floor was pushed open, and a noble young man in a blue shirt came out surrounded by several servants, and pointed at the storyteller with a folding fan in his hand:

"Xu Wenji is coming to Qingzhou, such a big event, how come I don't know about it?"

"This……"

The storyteller smiled wryly, and cupped his hands: "How far is the journey from Kyoto to Qingzhou? I think the news hasn't reached Qingzhou yet..."

After speaking, his face was a little stiff.

Storytelling, storytelling, three points are true and seven points are false, and there are two points to exaggerate. In the past, which audience would be so serious?
If other spectators questioned like this, he might just turn around and leave.

only……

"It's a pity, a pity."

Seeing his obedience, Liu Qingqing also knew that he had only heard a few rumors, and his interest was greatly reduced immediately, so he went back to the private room.

At this time, the storyteller was relieved.

He wanted to leave, how could the rest of the onlookers agree?
They all just yelled for him to come again.

The storyteller didn't have the heart to tell after this incident, but he couldn't hold back the enthusiasm of the crowd.

Seeing that the bamboo basket was almost full of copper coins, he had no choice but to return to the stage with his hands clasped.

"Since everyone thinks highly of Li so much, Li will talk about another paragraph. Let's talk about this famous Xu Wenji, Mr. Xu!"

One tap of the gavel, and it begins.

Yang Jue drank the refill of tea dully, staring at the young fellow, in a daze, not knowing what to think.

"... But Xu Wenji went back to Yunzhou to do a little headhunting, but it turned out that he offended someone back then and did it on purpose.

But why does our Lord Xu care about these things?Confucian scholars pay attention to the six arts of a gentleman, and often practice both civil and martial arts, but he is obviously not an ordinary Confucian student.

His literary skills are far inferior to that of Nie Zhouzhu, but his other methods are still superior.In just over two years, all the thieves and bandits in his jurisdiction were wiped out, he entered the eyes of the six sects, and was promoted to the chief arrester of the eight prefectures of Yunzhou. "

……

Mr. Storyteller spoke eloquently, naturally looking much calmer than before.

It may also be because they know the deeds of Master Xu very well, and the people who talked about them were sometimes excited, sometimes sighed, and sometimes blushed.

"... On that day, Xu Wenji was ordered to go out and lead a group of police officers to capture a lone bandit who had killed officials several times.

He didn't know that this mission would become the biggest stain in his life..."

The storyteller paused slightly after speaking.

The other spectators suddenly felt itchy and yelled and gave generously.

"Eat, don't be shabby!"

The storyteller responded with a smile, patted Xingmu again, and continued.

"However, it is said that Xu Wenji was ordered to go out, and he lay down at night and went out at night. In only half a month, he captured the murderer who had traveled to several houses. However, the arresting yamen servants led by him suffered a lot of casualties, and they could not even move forward. They had to escort him alone. The thief goes back."

"On this day, one official and one thief went to a small county. This county is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is also a good place. But once I walked in, I saw that there were few pedestrians, and many people were even more gloomy."

"When Xu Wenji was a little puzzled, he heard the cry of 'woo woo' coming from a distance. Xu Wenji is the worst person to hear this, so he went immediately, and saw a woman in plain clothes kneeling on the ground wearing a grass logo. Yes, sell yourself to bury your relatives."

"Wow!"

The storyteller's description was so vivid that everyone felt as if they saw a beautiful woman crying, and I felt pity for it.

Immediately came the interest.

Yang Qiu, who was immersed in his own calculations, couldn't help being attracted.

"Xu Wenji is quite curious, this woman is pretty good looking, and she only needs to get a couple of taels of silver and buy some straw mats.

But the passers-by all avoided like snakes and scorpions, and immediately asked one person to ask, that person didn't want to answer, but how could he stand up to Xu Wenji's cross-examination, and he explained the matter clearly after a short time. "

"But there is a bully in this county, Han Si, who colludes with the government and runs rampant in the village! That bully is greedy, and he is even a hungry ghost. All the women in the county, except for the eighty-year-old lady, are actually taken over by him!"

"This woman was forced to kill a pair of parents and two pairs of children. At this time, the one who sold her body to be buried is the whole family and her husband's family!"

"Huh!"

A spectator shouted: "In the Ming Dynasty, there were [-] households before we had a county system. There are not [-] households in a large county. How many women are there in a city?
That bully is born with three heads, six arms, nine suns, and tools, so he probably won't be able to enjoy them all, right? "

"Appreciate~"

All the spectators burst into laughter, and many people cared about the woman and asked questions, and some even wanted to know how Xu Wenji would deal with the bully.

The storyteller slapped the gavel, and immediately said:

"Xu Wenji was furious, and he said that he would be arrested, when he heard a loud 'haha' laugh from beside him. Xu Wenji frowned and turned around, but it was the lone bandit who was wearing 220-jin steel shackles and pierced with lute bones!"

"what?"

Some spectators lowered their voices and exclaimed.

"" Xu Wenji! "The lone bandit sneered, and said, even if you have a thousand ways, you can't just catch them quickly. When you think of a way and take action, how many people in this county will be injured? How many people will be wronged And die? Collusion between officials and gangsters, hehe, collusion between officials and gangsters."

""What can you do? "Xu Wenji looked at the robber coldly. He knew that this man was known as a chivalrous man, but he used martial arts to commit crimes. Killing an official is a serious crime.

But he heard the thieves smile ferociously: "When a certain family is unshackled, three of its heads will be screwed off in one night!""

"This big thief actually has such a kind heart?"

"I'm afraid I want to take the opportunity to escape?"

"Guess so."

All the spectators discussed in low voices.

The storyteller is rare and didn't make a fool of himself.

"How did Xu Wenji care about him? He broke the woman's straw, bought a coffin for her all the way, and took care of the funeral for her family. He also found the county bodyguard bureau and sent the woman to another place before returning to the post. "

"The bandit walked with him in his shackles. After watching it all the way, he just sneered. Sure enough, the next day, when the two of them were about to leave the city, they saw a naked female corpse hanging in front of the city gate!"

boom!
The whole hall shook.

All the spectators were extremely emotional, even Yang Qiu felt anger rising in his heart.

""Hahaha!Xu Wenji, what should you do? The robber laughed loudly: "It's rare for me to be kind, but you doubt it?" "

Xu Wenji remained silent for a long time. He looked around the city's shy people, looked at the corpse of a woman who had been trampled to death on the top of the city, and closed his eyes slightly. "

"Under the watchful eyes of all the people, the shackles were opened in the street! It seemed that he agreed with the bandit and asked him to kill the bully Han Si!"

"it is good!"

Someone shouted hello.

On the second floor, another ingot of gold was thrown down.

Your son Liu Qingqing held the folding fan tightly and said loudly: "It should be so, it should be so."

But after all, he shook his head again:

"Master Xu has done a poor job in this matter. If it is a dark and stormy night, he will let the thief go. Who would know?"

"Thank you, Young Master, for the reward!"

The storyteller took it calmly this time, and after cupping his fists, said:
"The robber also asked the same question. Guess what Xu Wenji said?"

"Xu Wenji took off his clothes, covered the woman's body, and looked back at the people in the city, he held his head high!

He said, there is nothing a man can do that is invisible to others!Today in Anping County, Xu Wenji of Yunzhou is also the perpetrator of the bandits! "

Yang Ju's heart trembled, and he felt his back and hair trembling.

"Next, he said.

Today you are a hero,
I will do the law tomorrow! "
