Chapter 136 Night Trial

The battle continued, and it was very tragic. Gao Qiong and the guards had the upper hand. Song Jiu saw Gao Qiong's martial arts for the first time. He alone shot five or six enemies. However, the group of soldiers were equally fierce and actually asked them to chop down two war horses. One of the guards was swarmed up by Li Liang and killed by random knives. The other guard Gao Qiong was rescued in time and covered him to the wooden bridge, otherwise he would have been dismembered by the razor blade.

At this time, the people in the village rushed to the battlefield.

Song Jiu shouted loudly: "Put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise you can't think of leaving alone."

Seeing that something was wrong, Li Liang shouted, "Everyone surrender first, and settle the accounts slowly."

Gao Qiong took the villagers to tie them up with ropes. Song Jiu walked across the wooden bridge. Li Liang looked at the thirty or forty dead bodies and several injured people on the ground and shouted: "You Eastern Army dare to kill so many of my subordinates, so you are not afraid of getting angry!"

"I am not the Eastern Army, nor the Northern Army. I am the envoy of the imperial court." Song Jiu looked at the dead body on the ground again, almost vomiting, and then looked at the guard. He died miserably. He stabbed his stomach, stabbed his chest, stabbed his neck, and stabbed his eye sockets. He shook his head in grief and anger: "Li Du Head, do you think these people are worth the death? Two years ago, these people were from Shu, and one year later, these people are from Song. You are not Shu, but from Song. Those who have killed them, and those who have killed them are from tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of times, are all people of the Song Dynasty, and are all brothers and sisters."

Li Liang kept silent.

Song Jiu continued to shake his head, "These families are also in Beijing."

Li Liang suddenly said, "You are that little Songjiu."

"I am Song Jiu, but I am the inspector of Liangchuan!"

"Hahaha, Song Jiu and Xiang Gong Lu entered Sichuan and only dared to kill a great colonel to establish their authority. You dared to kill so many of my subordinates. This time you are in trouble."

"Li Liang. Don't laugh. Since I dare to cause trouble, I can clean it up."

"Check it out, take your head to clean it up!"

"Geba, take him down and behead him for public display."

"Here," Ge Ba and two guards dragged Li Liang to the riverside, waved him with a knife, and shot him to death. Seeing Song Jiuzhen killing, the remaining forty people did not dare to speak. Song Jiu walked back and forth. He was thinking about how to deal with the aftermath, but suddenly he thought of a question. Historical Secretary didn't remember much. It seemed that Zhao Kuangyin did not kill Wang Quanbin, so he was afraid. It was not until after Quan Shixiong was wiped out that Wang Quanbin had no reason, so he asked him to take the Song army back to the capital, and then asked about the fact that Liangchuan was inquired about. But was it necessary to be so careful? Liangchuan now

Wang Quanbin was not the upper hand, first of all, Kang Yanze had a considerable army. There was also Cao Bin and Liu Guangyi's army. After entering Sichuan, their troops were not as strong as Wang Quanbin's army, but Wang Quanbin's army suffered some losses, and Lu Han and others rebelled. Their troops were actually not as strong as Cao Bin's army. It seemed that Ding Deyu, Wang Ban and Zhang Yu led thousands of Hunan garrison troops to arrive in Bashu. Wang Jixun was not successful, otherwise the Xiongwu army would have thousands of troops to enter Sichuan. Even without the Xiongwu army, none of the three armies were Wang Quanbin's whole way. Does the imperial court need to be so afraid?

This is the most headache for the aftermath.

Song Jiu thought about it and couldn't delay it. Looking at the dark people, he looked at the surrendered soldiers again. He said, "Two people are in groups and pull them down to ask about the case. If there is a false report or a person who does not confess, he will be killed without mercy."

So the two of them dragged the soldiers down one by one to ask, and the result came out after a while.

The cause and effect are very simple. The group of gold diggers are here for several months. Because of the arrangement of the big man surnamed Qiao, everyone thinks that they have not found much gold sand and have not attracted attention. But they also want daily necessities, including grain, oil, salt and vinegar. Sometimes the big man surnamed Qiao sends people to Zizhou City to buy. Once, two people who came to the city to buy goods ate some wine and talked too much during the conversation. A soldier in this camp was also drinking beside them. He accidentally heard them talking, and he heard that the village stored gold sand, and at the end of the year, he suddenly changed some goods and prepared to live a stable life in Puzhou. And when he heard more than 600 taels of gold sand, the entire Song army was red in his eyes for money, and the soldier was moved. He followed the two of them to here on the spot.

More than 600 taels of gold sand are not more than 600 taels of gold, but not small numbers. However, seeing the arrangements in the village, he could not eat them alone, he reported to the head of the capital Li Liang. Li Liang secretly sent someone to follow him until he saw the cargo ship arrives and decided to take action. However, the people who followed him left early, otherwise, if they saw Song Jiu and his party, they might stop this operation and might send more people, including Song Jiu, to kill people to silence him.

And the most terrifying thing is that there are so many people, and they talk a lot. Li Liang dared not hide it, and even notified Shi Zhen to instruct him. In other words, if they had not returned after dawn, Shi Zhen would definitely send someone to inspect.

A trace of worry flashed in the eyes of the people behind. Li Liang was hysterical just now and they all saw that Song Jiu was the envoy of the imperial court. According to later generations, he was the imperial envoy. He was not afraid at all. Besides, the people like them.

On the other side, Song Jiu walked around. If he had just arrived in the Song Dynasty, he would be helpless. Fortunately, he was a leader in his previous life, and in this life the leadership level was higher. Hezhou development, thousands of civil servants, and countless affairs have been dealt with in this year, and he has accumulated rich experience. After thinking about it, he wrote a short letter and said to a guard: "Ma Zhen, you will ride a horse to Puzhou immediately and ask General Kang to squeeze out two hundred Sichuan cavalry and arrive here quickly."

"Here." Ma Zhen quickly rode away.

Song Jiu began to write the memorial, and after writing the memorial, he wrote another letter from home. He pointed to one line of the memorial and asked a literate injunction soldier and said, "You read this sentence."

"Yes, Park Dao kills people, Park Dao is not guilty, and the knife holder is guilty."

"Do you know what it means? Half of the Song army in Bashu are decayed, not just you. As long as you confess your sins honestly, Li Liang's fault, Your Majesty will forgive you."

"Thank you." But the injunction soldier still held a glimmer of hope. As soon as the sky was dawn, the large group of people came over. His Majesty no longer needed, and any problem was solved.

Song Jiu called the boatman again and asked: "May your boat pass through the Three Gorges?"

"If you can pass, Xiaomin always passes through the Three Gorges once or twice a year to trade with merchants from Xiadong."

"That's good. Look at my letter."

"The little people dare not."

"Let you see it."

"Yes," the boatman didn't know much, but could barely understand it, and said, "The inspector asked your family to send 500 taels of silver to Ezhou. Seeing the Rensong banner on the ship, he gave the silver to the ship owner and reported his safety."

"That's right after you leave, you will find a way to make a flag halfway through the way, write the two big characters Ren and Song, and then hang it on the boat after you arrive in Ezhou."

"Why did the inspector give me five hundred taels of silver?"

"It's not that you don't give you silver for free, but that you leave some gold sand. This official has its own wonderful uses."

He did not give silver and asked for gold and sand. The boatman dared not to give it to him. Song Jiu said to Jiang Wenshu again: "You should immediately hurry back to Yizhou and hand over these two letters to Mr. Lu, report the matter and ask him to ask someone he trusted to give to His Majesty and my family with a quick horse."

"Here." Jiang Wenshu rode away with two letters.

Song Jiu then turned his head to look at the people and said, "After dawn, someone will come to ask, you just say that these people are not coming, and it just so convenient for the boatman to get up. When he saw them, he fled into the village with the help of fog and night. He also said that I set up camp in the village, thinking that they were thieves, and divided the troops into two places, one from the edge to the other side of the river. Blocked the wooden bridge and led you to fight tenaciously. I reported the position of officials and asked them to put down their weapons and surrender. Who knew that these people were even more fierce, and I had to order a counterattack. The two ministers fought tragically. My officers were cavalrymen, killing many people. The rest of them were willing to take the opportunity. Together with the four subordinates of my officer, they fell into the river with six of you, including these arrested people, jumped into the river together, missing. The rest did not say anything, and gave it to me to take charge."

"yes."

"You guys repeat it again."

The people repeated it together, and Song Jiu turned to look at the man surnamed Qiao and said, "Qiao Dalang, you can pick five trustworthy people and escort these prisoners together with your subordinates."

"Okay," the man surnamed Qiao already knew Song Jiu's aftermath plan and immediately selected five people to come out.

"He Kuan, Nanbin, Tang Zhiting, Yuan Houxuan, you are out of the list."

Four guards left the line, and Song Jiu took out two hundred taels of silver from his luggage. He didn't want to disturb the people and the government, so he had to bring more money and silk. When he left the house, Song Jiu brought another five hundred taels of silver, and used more than one hundred taels of silver along the way, and there were three hundred taels of silver. He handed over the two hundred taels of silver to He Kuan and said, "You and Qiao Dalang jointly took these forty prisoners to Ezhou together. If they want to escape, they will kill them, and if they want to resist, they will kill them."

"Here."

Then dozens of prisoners looked as if they were ashamed. But Song Jiu whispered again: "You four people try to exchange for some broken money on the road. If there are yamen runners and officials to check the boat, give them some money and don't let them come up. If these soldiers are not needed, they will tie up and block their mouths and prevent them from shouting. If they are eating, they will sail to a remote place and then block their mouths after dinner. Until the imperial envoy arrives. Although my memorial, Xianggong Lu must use a fast horse to reach the capital, it is time to go up the water and the boat speed is faster. There are more boats and boats in Ezhou, so it is better to find a hidden place on the way and wait for a few days before setting off. But you cannot be in the surrounding area, you must leave Zhongzhou."

"Here."

Ten people pushed the prisoners onto the ship, and some were unwilling to do so. Song Jiu shouted: "Those who do not obey the command will be killed."

He said another sentence: "He Kuan, these people snatched the red eyes after coming to Bashu, and killed them with red eyes. They could not sympathize with them."

"He Kuan pulled out the Park Knife and saw that the serious ones were forced to enter the bottom of the cargo ship. Song Jiu bowed to the ship owner and said, "Your trip is very important, and it is even more critical to your Majesty and thus benefit the millions of Bashu people. Of course, it is also important to me, so all this will be left to you."

"Don't worry."

"Remember, before leaving Zhongzhou, you must not delay on the road and drive out of Zhongzhou as quickly as possible."

"As for the order," the owner nodded heavily. As the sky began to light, he quickly hung the sail, put down the oars, and drove down the river with two friends.

Gao Qiong thought for a while and said softly: "You can fool you for a while, but you can't fool you for a lifetime."

"General Gao, don't worry, once Ding Deyu's army arrives, some people may not dare to do anything. Besides, it is just an instructor, and some people may not protect him. If they do not protect him, one instructor has only four or five hundred subordinates. Moreover, until now, all battalions will be incomplete. For example, there are only eighty-seven soldiers in this capital, not one hundred. In addition, there are two hundred Sichuan cavalry from General Kang, which is enough to deal with it."

"It was a good thing to pacify Bashu well, so why do you have to make it so complicated?"

"Who do I know?" Song Jiu was speechless. Bashu was complicated. Later, the dispute between the three Zhaos was complicated. What was the actual complexity? When the two Zhaos fought each other, they would be safe if they were done together? Later, the crisis came. Isn't it safe if they made Zhao Dezhao the crown prince? But Zhao Kuangyin wanted to make it complicated, and he also put himself in. A round of red sun finally rose. Song Jiu stood up and told Gao Qiong: "You lead the guards to move the tent luggage to the edge of the village to rebuild it."

Gao Qiong took the people down, and Song Jiu said to Ge Ba again: "You go to Zizhou to find the governor of Zizhou with my seal talisman, and report as I said, but remember three things, you must say that there is no living thing, until I brought people to clean the battlefield, and I found out that they were soldiers of the fierce army and said that I was furious. The second thing must be revealed. I sent someone to notify General Kang and asked him to transfer the Sichuan cavalry to support him. The third thing you must say that you are a warrior in the second king's vassal residence."

"I know," Ge Ba also rode away.
