Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

After entering the capital city of Xiangzhou, Ximen Qing accompanied Li Qiong and two people to the government office of the state government to report the case, and handed over the captured murderous robber Yang Lin to the public servant in the state government.

When Zhizhou Xianggong heard that the villain Yang Lin had killed the students and his wife in the state school, he was furious, and immediately started a trial, and recorded the testimony of Li Qiong, Ximenqing and others.

When it was Yang Lin's turn to interrogate, the "Jinbaozi" Yang Lin was not a tough guy at all. Seeing that he was caught by mistake today, with all the witnesses and material evidence, he couldn't deny it, so he prepared to confess directly.

How could he know that Mr. Zhizhou was also a scholar who studied, and he was deeply concerned about the murders of several Xiangzhou students, and he did not allow Yang Lin to take the initiative to confess.The magistrate yelled: "What a trickster, how dare he slander and deny it! Everyone beat me harder, and I will see if he recruits or not!"

After receiving the order from the Minister of Zhizhou, the officials took Yang Lin to the hall and beat dozens of spine sticks "cracklingly".All the public hated Yang Lin's cruelty to the state school students who were studying. During the execution, Yang Lin couldn't let Yang Lin tell the truth.

Yang Lin cried out in pain, "The villain is willing to recruit! The villain is willing to recruit!" But no gentleman listened to him.All the officials beat for forty or fifty sticks hard, until Yang Lin was left with only one breath, then they gave up and reported back to Zhizhou Xianggong that the thief had confessed.

The Prime Minister of Zhizhou ordered someone to record the dossier, and after everyone signed it, he sent Yang Lin to death row, and after a few days, he was escorted to Caishikou for interrogation.

Because of Ximen Qing's achievements in catching thieves and saving people, the magistrate must reward Ximen Qing heavily.Ximenqing refused to accept it, and asked Zhizhou Xianggong to distribute all the bonuses to the families of the victims.Ximenqing's move made the magistrate and the young Li Qiong pay more respect to Ximenqing.

Stayed overnight in Xiangzhou Prefecture, and after taking care of the robbery and murder of "Golden Leopard" Yang Lin, Ximen Qing said goodbye to Li Qiong, left Xiangzhou Prefecture, and headed straight to Tangyin County in the south.

The young Li Qiong sent Ximen Qing and his party out of the south gate of Xiangzhou, and then left with tears on the side of the road.

Ximen Qing and the others stepped on their horses, and quickly left Xiangzhou Fucheng behind.That Li Qiong also turned into a small black spot and disappeared behind.

Ximen Qing didn't know that, after experiencing today's events, Li Qiong saw thieves sprang up in Hebei, endangering the place, and deeply felt that only reading sage books could not suppress thieves well.Therefore, he cultivated both civil and martial arts, and learned the art of war strategy and shooting, stabbing, riding and archery while studying, and embarked on a path different from other state school students.

……

Tangyin County is located in the piedmont area where the North China Plain meets the Taihang Mountains. It borders Xiangzhou Prefecture in the north, faces Neihuang County in Daming Prefecture in the east across the Weihe River, and borders Neihuang and Junxian in the southeast to Wuling Town. It borders Anli Army in the south and Lin County in the west. It has been the hub of north-south communication since ancient times.

Tangyin County is slender from east to west, and narrow from north to south. The western part of the county is the hills at the foot of the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain.

Tangyin County has a long history, formerly known as Dang.Dang is the name of an ancient country, and it got its name because Dangshui flows through this place.In the second year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Dangyin County was established, and it got its name because it was located in the Yin of Dangshui.

In the first year of Tianping, Emperor Xiaojing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Dangyin County was abolished and entered Ye, and in the second year of Tianping of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, it was renamed Weide County.

In the sixth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, Dangyin County was restored.In the 16th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, Dangyin County was changed to Dangyuan County.

In the first year of Tang Zhenguan, the water was lukewarm, and Dangshui was changed to Tangshui, and the source of Dangshui was changed to Tangyin County.Since then, the name of Tangyin County has been passed down to this day.

With Brother Qiao Yun leading the way, Ximen Qing and his party crossed Tangshui to the south and arrived at Tangyin County smoothly.After resting in the county town for a whole day and purchasing some gifts, everyone left Tangyin county town and headed east to Yuejiazhuang in Xiaotili, Yonghe Township.

Ximen Qing was very excited riding on the horse, and had a good conversation with Brother Qiao Yun and Jiao Ting along the way.Thinking that he would have the opportunity to take Yue Fei, a famous general through the ages, under his command, Ximen Qing felt very happy!If there is another chance to recruit Qin Hui, the current Mizhou professor, and let these two people work for him, what will happen?Thinking about it in my heart, I feel that I am looking forward to it!

Ximen Qing said to Jiao Ting and the others: "Let's hurry up and arrive at Yuejiazhuang today!" After finishing speaking, Ximen Qing rushed out immediately.

Jiao Ting, Brother Qiao Yun and others hurriedly followed.

……

About thirty miles to the east of Tangyin County, in Xiaotili, Yonghe Township, beside the Tangshui River, stands a Zhuangzi, which is the Yuejiazhuang where Yue Fei lives.

At this time, Yuejiazhuang had already harvested the crops, and the open space in front of and behind the house was covered with newly harvested wheat.

A group of young people in the village used to practice martial arts on weekdays. The dam was also used to dry grain, so they had to come to the river beach to the west of the village to practice archery.

I saw several archery targets erected beside the reeds, and a group of young people in the distance were taking turns trying to shoot.

A young man bent his bow and set an arrow, aiming at the target and releasing his hand, only heard the crisp sound of the bowstring, the arrow had been shot out quickly, and nailed to the poplar target with a "poof".

"Yue Fan, your arrow is weak and powerless, it penetrates too shallow, and the arrow will fall off as soon as the wind blows! Moreover, it didn't hit the heart, which is far worse than your brother. Let's look at me !” Another boy grabbed the bow, drew an arrow, drew the bow fully and shot the arrow.

I saw that the arrow also hit the target, but unfortunately it didn't hit the red heart either.

"Hahaha~ Xu Qing, your strength is strong enough, but unfortunately you almost hit your head! Let me see Wang Gui!" Another young man stepped forward, took a new bow, put on an arrow, and held his breath. After aiming for a while, he shot the arrow in his hand.

There was another "poof", and the arrow hit the edge of the red heart of the target.

"Good archery!" A group of teenagers by the river shouted.The young man named Wang Gui proudly raised the bow in his hand.

The young man named Xu Qing was not convinced, and said to Wang Gui: "Wang Gui, although you are a little closer to the red heart, the arrow only penetrates the wood and is not as deep as mine, and the arrow has no lethality. When it comes to archery, Brother Yue Fei and Brother Zhang Xian are even better!"

"Brother Yue Fei is born with supernatural powers, so naturally I, Wang Gui, dare not compare with him. But Xu Qing, you said that Zhang Xian is better at shooting than me, but I, Wang Gui, don't admit it! Yao Zheng and Yue Fan, tell me, Zhang Xian and I , whose arrow technique is better?" Wang Gui obviously did not agree with Xu Qing's statement.

The young man named Yao Zheng in the crowd shook his head, and replied to Wang Gui: "Brother Wang Gui, I think you and Zhang Xian's arrow skills are on par, maybe Zhang Xian's brother is slightly better."

In the crowd, some said Wang Guiqiang, some said Zhang Xianqiang. When they were making a noise, they only heard Yue Fan say: "Stop arguing, isn't that my brother and Zhang Xian's brother are here! Let Zhang Xian's brother come and talk to Wang Gui Brother, let's compare!"

Thanks to the book friend "Xiaoxue Jun" for the monthly and recommended tickets!

Chapter 273 Yue Fei Practices Martial Arts

The young people by the river stopped their noise and looked in the direction of Yue Fan's finger, only to see two young people galloping towards them like the wind from the village entrance, waving to them from a distance.

The two young men were about fourteen or fifteen years old. The one running ahead had big square ears, a wide forehead and sparse eyebrows, plump cheeks, round eyes and a pointed nose. Yue Fan's elder brother, Yue Fei, the second son of Yue He, the owner of Yue Family Village.

The other young man behind Yue Fei had a handsome appearance, a tall and straight figure, and a wasp waist. He was Zhang Xian who was said by many young men to be indistinguishable from Wang Gui's arrow skills.

Seeing Yue Fei and Zhang Xian coming, Yue Fan, Wang Gui, Xu Qing and other teenagers all went up to greet them, and asked in one go: "Brother Yue Fei, you are back! How is Master, old man?"

Yue Fei smiled and said: "Brothers, Master Zhou Tong just caught a cold occasionally, and it's not a serious problem. The master asked us to practice archery every day without slacking off. After two days, the master recovered from his illness, but I have to come to the school to take a test in person. Fan oh!"

Yue Fan said, "Brother, don't you see that we are practicing archery hard? The master can't come today, so why don't you give us the temporary teacher's position and teach us!"

It turned out that Zhou Tong, Yue Fei's master, fell ill in the past few days and was recuperating in bed at home in a neighboring village.Yue Fei and Zhang Xian had just returned to Yuejiazhuang after visiting Zhou Tong.Yue Fei's master, Zhou Tong, is a well-known townsman in Tangyin County. He is very good at archery and lives in a village not far from Yuejiazhuang.

When Yue Fei was born, there was a big bird like a swan flying in the room.Because of the abnormal appearance of Yue Fei when he was born, both his father Yue He and his mother Mrs. Yao were secretly amazed. The future of Pengcheng Wanli.Because of this, Yue He and Mrs. Yao have carefully cultivated Yue Fei since childhood.

Yue Fei's father, Yue He, the owner of Yuejiazhuang, is a wealthy local family. He is generous, kind and compassionate, and willing to give.

During the years of famine in Hebei, Yue He asked himself and his family to reduce their clothing and diet as much as possible, in order to take the saved food to the hungry people nearby.Someone borrowed money from Yue He and deliberately refused to pay it back. When Yue He knew about it, he didn't take it seriously and didn't fight with others.There were also people who saw Yue He's gentle and kind personality, and deliberately crossed the border when farming, and invaded the Yue family's field, Yue He also laughed it off, and cut the field to that person without arguing with him.

Yue He's personality is so generous and compassionate, and everyone in the village respects Yue He very much.Those who borrowed money and did not repay and invaded the Yue family's property were also ashamed, and they came to apologize one after another, and dared not play tricks in the village again.

Yue He's reputation spread in the village when he was young. Yao Daweng, the owner of a nearby Yaojiazhuang, knew Yue He's character, praised him greatly, and betrothed his daughter to Yue He as his wife.

After Yue He and Mrs. Yao got married, their first son died unfortunately because of their young age.When Yue He was 17 years old, he and Mrs. Yao gave birth to their second son, Yue Fei.

After Yue Fei was born, his father Yue He saw that his son was well-behaved and intelligent, so he specially hired a teacher for him to teach him to read classics and history, and to practice calligraphy diligently.Yue He, who has a gentle and compassionate personality, wants to train his son to take the road of studying and taking the exam, and becoming an official through the imperial examination.In other words, let Yue Fei become a scholar who has read poetry and books when he grows up.

How do you know, the young Yue Fei has been quiet and reticent since he was a child, and he often loses his integrity.He actually likes to read "Zuoshi Chunqiu", "Sun Wu Art of War" and other books.Moreover, Yue Fei was gifted with supernatural powers. When he was a child, he liked to dance with guns and sticks. He often led a group of village children to fight and frolic, playing the game of marching and fighting.

Because the imperial court emphasized literature over martial arts, Yue Fei's father Yue He still hoped that Yue Fei could calm down and study and take the imperial examination.But Mrs. Yao, Yue Fei's mother, saw that Yue Fei had the ambition to practice martial arts and join the army, so she told her parents, Mrs. Yao Daweng and Mrs. Yang.

Yue Fei's grandfather, Yao Daweng, was more enlightened than Yue He. He supported his grandson Yue Fei's martial arts practice, and specially invited Zhou Tong, a well-known local hero, to teach Yue Fei the skills of riding and shooting, and let his youngest son, who was about the same age as Yue Fei, Zheng also practiced martial arts with Zhou Tong.

Yao Zheng often went to Yuejiazhuang to play and play with Yue Fei's group of children.This Yao Zheng is also a young man at heart, he doesn't care about his seniority, he is called brothers with the children of Yuejiazhuang outside.

Zhou Tongnai is a hero of the rivers and lakes. He also joined the army and fought against Xixia when he was young.He was the best at riding and archery in his life, and he could shoot left and right on a galloping horse without missing a shot.When he was old, he returned to his hometown of Tangyin County to provide for the elderly. His bravery remained the same as before, and he was really famous far and wide.

Zhou Tong had heard of the name of Yue He Le, the owner of Yuejiazhuang, for his goodness and admiration for Yue He.Therefore, when Yao Daweng asked him to go out to teach Yue Fei, Zhou Tong readily agreed.After meeting the talented Yue Fei in Yuejiazhuang, Zhou Tong was even more delighted. He formally accepted Yue Fei as his disciple and taught him all his life skills.
