Chapter 105 The Water Margin 1 Breakthrough (28)

After the fall, the rain in Kaifeng increased. At the end of September, the weather turned cold, and there were two small snowfalls in Tokyo.Now it’s mid-October, even if the sun is high, the warmth on people’s bodies is not obvious. Occasionally a gust of wind blows, and people who wear less clothes will still shiver.

The Jieyangling fish shop has recently closed its doors, and the cold winds are raging across the country, so it is no longer suitable for fishing. The guys in the shop changed their clothes and started to make a living as escorts on the river. Chen San was not good at it, so he went to Mrs. Gu's Help in the fish house.

Just as Li Jun was resting, he wandered around the fish shop, gathered the last fish goods, and called a few men to prepare to take the goods to the imperial kitchen. Recently, he has trained too much in ice water , He has to make up for his brothers.

Two brothers, Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng, stood at the door of the store, each holding a piece of dried fish in their mouths, eating with relish.Zhang Shun gnawed halfway, and said vaguely: "Brother, have you heard that Brother Zhu Wu sent a letter, and he wants to ask for orders to lead troops to fight Liangshan."

Li Jun glanced at Zhang Shun and asked, "You want to go too?"

Zhang Shun waved his hands and made a swimming posture: "That's right, there are many lakes and waterways in Liangshan, it is the battlefield of our navy, and the bandits in Liangshan must know how powerful Zhang Shun is in my waves."

"You won't send troops to Liangshan a few years ago, let's wait a year later." After Li Jun finished speaking, he was filled with emotions. Zhang Shun didn't know that he had thought of joining Liangshan and becoming the Liangshan bandit in his mouth.In the past, the world was dark, and they did business of killing and extorting goods. It was difficult to live, let alone live with dignity. When did it change?Was it when County Magistrate Qiu put up the notice to abandon evil and do good?No, it was earlier, when the imperial court killed Gao Qi, the world began to change.

Swallowing the emotion in his heart, Li Jun asked, "I've been too busy recently and didn't care about Jieyangling. How is Li Li?"

Brother Zhang Shun was silent for a while, Zhang Heng sighed and said: "I heard that the day Li Li was beheaded, someone robbed the prisoner, the people were very angry, and beat him to death along with the prisoner."

When the imperial court turned to the people, the people became hardened. Which ordinary people dared to fight the reckless mountain bandits in the past?

"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about him, we didn't persuade him less." Zhang Shun patted Zhang Heng on the shoulder, and he changed the subject: "I heard from the brother of the imperial army who came back from the message that the Song thief He escaped to Liangshan, and they almost caught him."

Zhang Heng shook Zhang Shun's hand off his shoulder, and he said: "If you want me to say, Song Jiang, if he is smart, he might as well surrender himself earlier. I heard from a business traveler from Yuncheng that it is not good for Yan Po, who was killed by him. Women, hook up with each other, which man can stand it?"

Li Jun interrupted Zhang Heng's words: "Arresting people and judging cases is the business of the Jinyi Guard, so don't talk about it. There are lectures on law popularization by Guozijian students in Tokyo every ten days. Go and listen to it if you have nothing to do. Don't treat the laws of the Song Dynasty as a joke. "

Zhang Heng shut his mouth. A few days ago, a certain village wanted to sink a woman who had committed adultery into a lake according to the clan's rules.

In the end, the emperor spoke, saying that the laws of the Song Dynasty were above all the rules, and no one could use any excuse to resist the implementation of the laws. Once discovered, they would be punished as the crime of obstructing justice.At the same time, he also said that if a woman commits adultery, she will sink into the lake, if a man cheats on her, her car will be broken, and if a man rapes his wife and children, he will be cut to death.As soon as these words came out, the arrogance of the villagers was instantly extinguished.

After holding back for a long time, Zhang Heng complained: "The imperial court has promulgated a new marriage law, let alone divorce, it will be good if you don't divorce your husband."

Zhang Shun looked at the complaining Zhang Heng, and sneered coldly: "Brother, why don't you find me a sister-in-law before you think about it? Divorce? Do you have a wife?"

Zhang Heng bared his teeth, his brother's stabbing was so ruthless that his heart suffered unbearable pain.

Li Jun patted Zhang Shun brothers on the head one by one, "Don't be silly anymore, come with me to the Ministry of Industry, I heard that they have made a new warship, let's go and have a look."

As soon as the door of the fish shop was closed, the three brothers turned around and saw two elderly people.The two elders cheerfully brought a large basket of bacon to them: "Master Li, it's almost the end of the year. This is a gift from the people of Jieyang, and it's not worth much."

Li Jun opened his mouth. They didn't do anything in the past half a year, but they sold the fish in Jieyang Ridge to make a living, which made the fishermen earn a living.He didn't get this kind of treatment when he was a local king in Jieyangling before, but now he was given a gift, he felt very strange, it was sour, sweet and astringent.

The two old people didn't wait for Li Jun and the others to speak, they put down the bacon basket and left, looking like they were going to the city to shop.

"Hey, it's no wonder that no matter whether you are a good official or a bad official in the drama, you like the common people to give you umbrellas. This feels so good." Zhang Shun's mouth was almost grinning to the back of his head, which shows his good mood.

"Calm down, I'm going to drool." Li Jun tried his best to suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth, and he dragged Brother Zhang Shun to carry the bacon back to the fish shop.After entering the store, the three of them laughed at the same time, they had never been so happy.

After a lot of tossing, it was already afternoon when Li Jun and the others went to the Shipbuilding Workshop of the Ministry of Industry.When they arrived, Lin Yuzhou and Ji Shengyan were also there.Seeing these two, Brother Zhang Shun retreated out of the door consciously.

Li Jun walked behind Lin Yuzhou, cupped his hands and said, "I pay my respects..."

"Don't be too polite." Lin Yuzhou shook his finger, and he said to the craftsman of the shipyard: "The warship needs to make room for the fire bubbles. There are five doors on one side, and the draft, load-bearing, and hardness of the hull must meet the requirements."

The craftsmen were frowning. The iron smelting workshop had a new iron-making method, and the steel produced was very useful, but the output was too small. The idea of ​​using steel to build a warship could not be realized, so they could only experiment on wooden boats.

Li Jun listened quietly at the side, and when he heard the word Huo Pao, a frenzied light flashed across his face.

Lin Yuzhou put forward all his requirements, and provided new blueprints to the craftsmen. After finishing these, he and Ji Shengyan left the workshop, taking Li Jun with them when they left.

Li Jun was not very willing to leave. He felt that he needed to supervise the craftsmen so that they must fulfill the emperor's request. Unfortunately, Lin Yuzhou didn't give him this opportunity.

After a distance from the shipbuilding workshop, Lin Yuzhou asked Li Jun, "Wang Qing and Liang Shan, where do you prefer to fight?"

Without even thinking about it, Li Jun replied, "Anything is fine."

Lin Yuzhou raised his eyebrows, because Li Jun captured Wang Qing alive in the original book, so he asked this question, but the other party's answer was beyond his expectation. "Then get ready. After the spring, the navy will divide into two groups, one to support Yunzhou and the other to support Huaixi."

Li Jun replied: "As ordered."

Lin Yuzhou waved his hand to let him back down.

Ji Shengyan glanced at Li Jun's back, and asked Lin Yuzhou, "Do you care about him?"

"What I care about is the Great Song Navy." Lin Yuzhou pinched Ji Shengyan secretly, telling him to restrain himself: "I don't want to see any officials join you to charm your lord."

Ji Shengyan raised his eyebrows, Charming Your Majesty, he thought this word was quite good.

You can see Ji Shengyan's thoughts at a glance, Lin Yuzhou sighed: "Don't think about it, accompany me to the Jinyi Guard, I heard that Zong Ze recently accepted a case from Yuncheng, and he had trouble with Liang Shan It doesn't matter."

Zong Ze was a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty. Lin Yuzhou found out this famous anti-gold general who would be called "Grandpa Zong" by the Jin people in the future from the list of many officials, and made him the commander of the Jinyiwei Office of Kaifeng Mansion.

The Jinyi Guard is next to the Kaifeng Government Office and the Central Bank of the Song Dynasty. Because of its special functions, the lion in front of the Jin Yi Guard looks more powerful than the institutions on both sides, and the people are most afraid of coming here.

Zong Ze has been suffering from a headache recently. The imperial court pushed for the separation of administration and law. Tokyo was the first place to experiment. When he took over the Jinyi Guards, he thought it would be easy, but the facts gave him a slap in the face. The judiciary has no time to rest.

When Lin Yuzhou and Ji Shengyan walked into the guard, Zong Ze happened to be sorting out the files in Yuncheng in the side hall.

Seeing the emperor, Zong Ze immediately stood up to greet him.

"Stop saluting." Lin Yuzhou walked into the side hall one after the other with Ji Shengyan, and after finding a seat to sit down, he asked Zongze: "What's going on with the Yuncheng case?"

Zong Ze replied: "The person who reported the case is Bai Yuqiao, and he is suing Lei Heng, the head of the patrolling infantry in Yuncheng County, saying that he beat his daughter Bai Xiuying to death with a shackle."

As soon as Zong Ze finished speaking, Lin Yuzhou and Ji Shengyan knew what was going on. They looked at each other, and Lin Yuzhou asked: "Of course, this kind of matter should be handed over to the county magistrate of Yuncheng. Why should the lawsuit be brought to Kaifeng?"

Zong Ze glanced at Ji Shengyan, and said, "This matter also involves Lu Da, the commander of the Forbidden Army's Weihu Battalion."

Ji Shengyan frowned slightly, and he looked at Zong Ze, waiting for him to continue.

"According to that Bai Yuqiao, he and his daughter Bai Xiuying performed art for a living. After arriving in Yuncheng County with the caravan, they settled down in a restaurant in Yuncheng. At first it was Bai Xiuying who performed art, but Lei Heng didn't give any reward for watching, old man After cursing a few words, Lei Heng beat him up, and Lu Da was drinking with Lei Heng at that time, and paid the reward for Lei Heng when he saw this."

"Then what does this have to do with his daughter's death?" Lin Yuzhou didn't understand the logic.

"Lei Heng beat Bai Yuqiao, Bai Xiuying sued him, and the county magistrate sentenced him to shackles for public display. When Lei's mother went to deliver the meal, she had a conflict with Bai Xiuying. Bai Xiuying slapped her twice. In a fit of anger, Lei Heng broke free from the shackles and died. He beat Bai Xiuying to death in public with a shackle."

Lin Yuzhou compared Zong Ze's situation with the original book. Except for the addition of Lu Zhishen, there is no other change, but Lu Zhishen just paid a tip for Lei Heng. How could it have anything to do with Bai Xiuying's death?

"Lei Heng fled with his mother. I heard that he went to Liangshan. The white old man had no way to get revenge. He also felt that Lei Heng could rely on Lei Heng to kill his daughter, so he went to the county government to have a drink with Lei Heng that day. Lu Da sued them, saying that they were all Liangshan bandits. The Yuncheng government did not dare to accept the case, so he came to Tokyo to sue."

After Zong Ze finished speaking, Lin Yuzhou also understood that before Yunzhou implemented the new policy, the county magistrate of Yuncheng still had a lot of power, but he didn't dare to control Bai Yuqiao when he sued the commander of the imperial army.

Ji Shengyan looked at Lin Yuzhou after listening, "Let Yang Chun go to Yunzhou to replace Lu Zhishen, and let him go back to Tokyo for now."

Lin Yuzhou frowned. He felt that this matter had little to do with Lu Zhishen, so he turned his head and asked Zong Ze, "Have you investigated?"

"The minister has sent someone to investigate. That Bai Yuqiao's words are secretive, and she probably didn't tell the whole truth."

"Originally, I planned to carry out the new policy in Yunzhou after all the bandits in Liangshan were wiped out, but now it seems that it is unnecessary." Water Margin has one hundred and eight generals, and 72 generals are in Yuncheng. The situation in Yuncheng is complicated. After cutting through the mess with a sharp knife, Lin Yuzhou made a decision in his heart, "Yangchun alone can't do it, Han Chaoyang will go together."

"Han Chaoyang?" The name stunned Zongze for a moment, "But Han Chaoyang, who is known as the prodigy of Anyang?"

Lin Yuzhou smiled and said: "It's him. He is the grand-nephew of Mr. Han Ge. He should have been admitted to the Imperial Academy. Unfortunately, his whole wish was to abandon his pen and join the army, so I have fulfilled him."

It is not without reason that Zong Ze was stunned. In the Song Dynasty, civil servants were valued more than martial arts. Military officers were constrained by all parties and could not be reused. Han Chaoyang was second in the list.What's more, the Han family has a high family and a wide network of contacts. If he enters the Imperial Academy, he will be on the road to the sky. It is only a matter of time before he enters the court and becomes the king.

"Han Chaoyang is going to Yuncheng, and Wu Song is going to Huaixi. We need to give Wu Song another military advisor."

Lin Yuzhou looked at Ji Shengyan, military advisor?Is there such a talent in the Forbidden Army?

Zong Ze suggested: "It can be transferred from the Privy Council."

Lin Yuzhou and Ji Shengyan shook their heads at the same time, they couldn't let civilian officials who had never been on the battlefield or even read military books give orders blindly, they had to send someone who could suppress Wu Song's violent temper to follow.

"Let Li Jun go. He has good commanding skills. Let him follow Wu Song to give some pointers if necessary."

As soon as these words came out, Ji Shengyan glanced at Lin Yuzhou quietly.

Lin Yuzhou resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and then told Zong Ze: "Your Minister Zong put some thought into this case, so that it cannot damage the reputation of the Imperial Army."

"The minister obeys the order."
