I will never be Renzong

Chapter 139 Meeting Bao Zheng by chance
Due to the accelerated march, Zhao Zhen and Fan Zhongyan arrived in Shanzhou in less than ten days.

The royal caravan was robbed in Shanzhou, and the magistrate of Shanzhou couldn't absolve himself of the blame.

For this reason, not only the security patrols in Shanzhou were strengthened, but the officials even paid their own money to recruit local bravery, and took the initiative to encircle and suppress the bandits in Shanzhou. In just one month, five bandits were eliminated.

I have to say that Zhao Zhen's acting skills are still good, and he looks good as Fan Zhongyan's protégé, so the officials of Shanzhou, big and small, didn't realize that the current officials were among the entourage.

As the saying goes, if you eat a ditch, you will gain wisdom. The magistrate of Shanzhou suffered such a big loss. Naturally, he tried every means to please the emperor's imperial envoy Fan Zhongyan. .

But Fan Zhongyan was not in the mood to watch the prefect of Shanzhou show off at this time, because less than a day after arriving in Shanzhou, the current officials brought several Jinyiwei to pretend to be salt merchants and hurried to Jiezhou.

Before leaving, the officials ordered him to stay in Shanzhou City for three days, so during these three days, Fan Zhongyan couldn't eat well or sleep well. On the third day, before dawn, he led the imperial guards to hurry towards Xiezhou. go.

In Xiezhou City, people from all corners of the country gathered in the Rujia Inn. These businessmen had heard that the imperial court was going to implement reforms on Jieyan and hand it over to the Royal Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, they wanted to seize the opportunity to see if they could sell the royal salt. If the chamber of commerce is good, then it will be able to get a higher return.

Under the operation of Shen Moran, the Royal Chamber of Commerce has begun to develop business in various states. Wherever it goes, the merchants who join the Chamber of Commerce first end up making a lot of profits. Now the Chamber of Commerce is finally going to Shaanxi Road, so many people with a keen sense of smell Businessmen came to Jiezhou one after another.

As soon as they arrived in Jiezhou, they were invited to this inn by officials of Jiezhou for various reasons, and their belongings were detained, and they would be returned after the chairman of the Royal Chamber of Commerce arrived.

Zhao Zhen happened to be in this inn too, and he saw all the actions of Xiezhou officials, big and small, but the strong dragon did not overwhelm the snake, and he only entered the city to inquire about the news, and wanted to know where Shen Moran was now.

As soon as Shen Moran's safety was confirmed, he would send a signal to Zhang Kang. When the army arrived, these corrupt officials would be brought to justice.

In Xiezhou City, Zhao Zhen was wandering casually. In his heart, Xiezhou should have a salt pond, and the business should be very prosperous, but the scene in front of him made Zhao Zhen very angry.

Because apart from a few inns and restaurants, there are either gambling houses or brothels, and there are at least a dozen of them in total.

Zhao Zhen wanted to go to the brothel to find out what happened, and ask why this place was full of brothels and gambling houses. Besides, in Xiezhou City, he had already investigated the inn, and there were no women living there, so there seemed to be only places where Shen Moran could hide. Down the brothel.

Zhao Zhen just saw a dark-skinned man who looked like a scholar at the entrance of a brothel named Cuixiangyuan, and was carried out by two men who looked like thugs.

"It's just you, a dark and poor boy, who still wants to elope with me, the number one in Cuixiangyuan. You are so ambitious!"

A well-dressed bustard yelled at the scholars on the ground.

"What is the top card of Cuixiangyuan? She is obviously my fiancée. She was abducted to Xiezhou by human traffickers. I searched for clues all the way and chased him from Luzhou to Xiezhou. You don't want to deny it!"

The man got up from the ground and yelled at the bustard.

"Hey! What are you talking about? The girls in Cuixiangyuan, my mother, either came here voluntarily, or they were all orphans. I couldn't bear to adopt them. How could I buy them from human traffickers? Don't talk nonsense!"

The old bustard glanced at the passers-by surrounding him, and couldn't help but argue.

"My fiancée has a birthmark on the sole of her foot. If what you said is true, you dare to let her come out and have a test."

The man argued hard.

The old bustard's face darkened immediately, and he said to the two thugs at the side: "Go and cut off his tongue!"

"What are you going to do? I'm a Juren of the Great Song Dynasty, and I'm going to participate in the imperial court examination next year!"

Seeing two burly men walking towards him with knives, the man couldn't help but panic.

"What's wrong with Juren? If you dare to cause trouble in our Cuixiang Garden, you will be forced to walk around without food! Do it!"

The bustard yelled loudly.

"Guard Yang, go! Save him!"

Zhao Zhen said to the guards behind him.

Although the two big men were burly, they could not be the opponents of the masters inside. Yang Chongxun personally stepped forward and knocked them down within a few moves.

"This young husband! It's better for the young husband not to interfere in the affairs between the slave family and this black charcoal head!"

The old bustard saw that Zhao Zhen was dressed like a rich man, so he said something.

"When you see injustice, you draw your sword to help, and what's more, what this dear brother said just now is not without reason! If there is no problem with the source of your brothel girl, why don't you dare to confront it in public?"

Zhao Zhen said.

"Little Xianggong is a good-looking talent. He must come from a wealthy family, but there is a saying in my family that a strong dragon will not overwhelm a snake. It is better for Xiaoxianggong to leave this matter alone!"

Seeing that there were five or six guards standing behind Zhao Zhen, the old bustard couldn't help but persuade him again.

"Hmph! An old woman with a ruined body threatened to cut off Da Song Juren's tongue. You are so brave, come and take it for me!"

Zhao Zhen said angrily.

"What are you doing! Don't move!"

At this moment, a man who looked like a headhunter led a team of government officials and surrounded Zhao Zhen and others.

Seeing this, the old bustard suddenly felt complacent, and hurriedly twisted her waist and walked up to the catcher, saying coquettishly: "Yang catcher, you are here, this kid wants to abduct my number one Li Liuer in Cuixiangyuan, and he also The Juren pretending to be the imperial court wants to threaten the Nu family, but Mr. Yang, you have to make the decision for the Nu family!"

As he said that, he winked his eyes at Yang Butou, Yang Butou understood, after all, this Cuixiangyuan is one of the properties of Master Zhizhou.

"The head arrester suspects that you are gangsters, so I will arrest you all and take them back to the prison."

Catcher Yang shouted at Zhao Zhen.

Seeing this, the guards drew out their sabers and looked at the servants vigilantly.

"Since you still dare to bring weapons privately, come and take them all for someone, and if you resist, you will be killed!"

Catcher Yang shouted loudly.

"Let's see who dares!"

After receiving Zhao Zhen's signal, Yang Chongxun showed his waist card and shouted loudly: "A certain Yang Chongxun, the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, was ordered by the imperial envoy, Mr. Fan, to go to Jiezhou first."

Yang Captou was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, the Jinyi Guards are the emperor's personal army. Although they were reorganized from the palace chiefs and bodyguards' personal army, they had already solved many major cases not long after they were established. It is very important for today's officials to The family treasure is also a sword hanging over the heads of all officials in the court.

He only heard Master Zhizhou say that the imperial envoy was back, but he didn't expect that the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei would also follow him. This is the real powerful man of Jin Yiwei!
"What kind of thing is Jinyiwei? I've never heard of it before. This waist card must be fake. Don't let Catcher Yang be fooled by it!"

The bustard at the side suddenly yelled loudly.

"Crack~"

Yang Catcher suddenly slapped the old bustard to the ground, then knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "I don't know Commander Yang is coming, but I hope you will forgive me!"

"Go! Call out Miss Li to me!"

Zhao Zhen yelled at the bustard who had been slapped and sat slumped aside tremblingly.

Seeing this, the bustard hurriedly got up from the ground, and ran towards the building with urine dripping from her buttocks.

Yang Butou suddenly raised his head and glanced at Zhao Zhen.

"Hmph! This is a disciple of the Imperial Envoy, come here with me to investigate the case!"

Yang Chongxun said hurriedly.

After a while, the bustard led a beautiful woman out, and the woman threw herself into the scholar's arms as soon as she saw the scholar.

The scholar comforted the woman with a few words, then stood up and saluted Zhao Zhen: "I am Bao Zheng of Luzhou. Thank you so much, my young husband, for saving me."

"Eh? Are you Bao Zheng? Bao Xiren?"

Zhao Zhen was stunned. He didn't expect to meet Wenquxing of the Song Dynasty during this trip.

"My surname is Bao, whose name is Zheng and whose courtesy name is Xiren. I am from Hefei, Luzhou. Bao has never met my young husband. I wonder where he heard this name from?"

Bao Zheng asked suspiciously.

After confirming that the dark scholar in front of him was Bao Zheng, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but be elated, but suddenly saw Zhao Butou swearing a few words next to a yamen servant, and then the yamen servant left in a hurry, his face changed drastically.

"Butou Zhao, this brothel, you have to check it carefully. I still have a task to do, so I won't disturb Butou Zhao's search!"

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he turned to Bao Zheng and said, "It's getting late, dear brother, you might as well stay with Miss Li at the Ruyi Inn ahead, and return to your hometown tomorrow!"

Zhao Zhen saw the embarrassment of the two of them, and said again: "The inn has a few high-end guest rooms, and they are empty, you don't need to worry!"

Bao Zheng and Li Liuer looked at each other.

"In that case, let's bother the young man!"

Arriving at the Ruyi Inn, after returning to the room, Zhao Zhen just wanted to say something to Bao Zheng, but Bao Zheng asked first, "Young Master, is the imperial envoy Mr. Fan's disciple?"

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Xi, a certain surname is Zhao, surname is Baiyu, and his character is flawless. He is indeed a disciple of Imperial Envoy Fan!"

"Since the matter is urgent, Bao called Xiongtai Brother Zhao Xiandi. Listen to me, my brother, in order to save Bao today, my identity has been exposed. Jiezhou Zhizhou is a vicious and merciless person, and the president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce all Dare to assassinate, so it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, it is better to leave as soon as possible!"

Bao Zheng said urgently.

"Young master! Everything is packed, and the horses are already waiting at the back door of the inn!"

Yang Chongxun stepped forward and said.

"It's not too late! Let's go!"

Zhao Zhen said to Bao Zheng.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the back door, they heard a large group of officials rushing into the inn. They quickly got on their horses and ran towards the city gate.

After Qian Weiguan led people into the room, he found that several people had already slipped away through the back door, and then glanced at the darkened sky, and said to the officials: "Hurry up and stop them at the city gate." !"

At this time, the city gate must have been closed long ago, but when Zhao Zhen rushed to the city gate, he found that the city gate was only ajar and not completely closed, so he ignored the guards at the city gate and galloped towards the city gate .

When Qian Weiguan came with his men, Zhao Zhen and others had already cleared the city gate, and Qian Weiguan swung his whip at the officials guarding the city gate.He reprimanded loudly: "Shouldn't we close the city gate when we leave at this hour?"

The official took a whip, hurriedly endured the pain and replied cautiously: "There is a group of brothers who have gone out on duty and haven't come back yet, so the villain is bold."

"Ridiculous~ Take him down to me and put him in prison!"

Qian Weiguan said angrily.

"Yang Baotou, you quickly lead people to chase, it's so late, the path is not easy to walk, they must have to follow the official path!"

"It's an adult!"

Yang Butou greeted back, and galloped away with his men and horses.

In Yutou Temple, the temple door was closed tightly, and inside, Shen Moran was helplessly looking at the dozen corpses on the ground.

The confidants of Master Zhizhou disappeared, so they naturally wanted to go out of the city to investigate, and the leader of this team of officials happened to know the hobbies of the two missing officials, so he went straight to Yutouan.

Shen Moran, four maids and Liu Ruoyun hid in the nunnery, waiting for Fan Zhongyan to come, and then came out to wipe out this gang of corrupt officials.

But I didn't want to, a team of officials came to search the nunnery in the evening, and they had to hide in the cellar.

Li Bantou led a team to search the Yutou nunnery carefully, and only three feet away from digging the ground, but still found nothing, but it was getting dark, and it was too late to go back, so he wanted to stay in the nunnery for a while. Night.

But these officials were all from hooligan backgrounds. They were on duty during the day and went to the brothel at night to have fun, so they started to play tricks on the nuns in Yutou nunnery.

Leader Li was already used to this and said, as long as no one is killed, it would be fine. After receiving the order from the leader, the officers began to show their wolfish nature and began to look for their prey in the nunnery.

The screams and cries came out, and Shen Moran naturally couldn't stay any longer, so he led four maids to kill them out, and killed more than a dozen officials in a sneak attack.

But Shen Moran also knew that after killing so many officials at one time, she couldn't stay here anymore. With four maids with strong martial arts skills, she could leave Jiezhou, but the nuns in Yutouan would be miserable. Knowing how to get revenge by these vicious officials!
"Dong Dong Dong~"

There was a knock on the door.

Everyone in the nunnery couldn't help being startled, and Shen Moran was also taken aback, thinking: Could it be that the wolf has just been killed, and the tiger came again?

"Benefactor Shen! Go away! You must not fall into the hands of these thieves!"

The abbot of Yutou Temple shouted at Shen Moran.

"That's right! President Shen, you can count on President Shen to eradicate those corrupt officials!"

Liu Ruoyun on the side also hurriedly said.

Shen Moran picked up a knife on the ground and said coldly: "These officials are all vain, but in fact they are useless. Besides, all parts of Jiezhou are blocked. Instead of going out, it is better to fight Give it a try!"

"Chairman Shen is right, the poor nuns are fighting with these bastards!"

As they talked, the nuns in Yutouan picked up the weapons of the officials one after another, and then stared closely at the temple gate.

"Whoa~"

The door was knocked open from the outside. Seeing this, the four maids Mei Lan, Zhu Ju and others yelled and went to kill them. Unexpectedly, the person who came was fighting evenly with the four maids.

"Plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, stop now!"

Yang Chongxun shouted loudly after forcing the four of them back.

Immediately, a guard walked in with a torch, and after seeing the face of the visitor, the four women couldn't help saying: "Deputy Commander Yang!"

The four girls were all masters of the Imperial City Division at first, and they worked under Yang Chongxun, and later they were sent to serve as guards beside Shen Moran, so after a short confrontation, Yang Chongxun still recognized their identities.
