The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty

Jiang Yan followed the holy aunt Fang Baihua back. Everything went well, and she would soon arrive at the state capital where Mingjiao personnel would respond.

However, since the last few days, Jiang Yan and Fang Baihua have discovered that there have been more officers and soldiers interrogating the road.

"You! Speaking of you, take out your Lu Yin to have a look."

With the flow of the population, not everyone inspects the road guide. Generally, the more aggressive-looking ones are asked to be inspected by the city gate guards.

But for a good-looking talent like Jiang Yan and a good-looking lady like Fang Baihua, it is difficult to be asked about the general situation.

But since yesterday, they have been interrogated almost everywhere they went, especially Jiang Yan who asked them carefully.

Fang Baihua felt uneasy in her heart, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

On this day, they arrived at a new state capital again. Right in front of the city gate, many people were crowded to read the notice, so Fang Baihua asked one of his maids named Ayu to go forward and read it.

Soon, Ayu came back, took a look at Jiang Yan first, and then whispered: "It's Jiang Yan's arrest warrant."

When Jiang Yan heard it, she was startled at first, walked towards the notice board, stood at the back, and looked at the wanted notice on tiptoe.

Although the portrait is different from his own, his basic characteristics are clearly described, even if he cannot be recognized once or twice, it will be uncertain after a long time.

Why is he wanted?

Could it be that Tokyo has figured out that he faked his death?

There is no other explanation than this.

Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder, and he was startled. He saw a sloppy person squinting at him, "This little brother looks familiar, have you seen him somewhere?"

Jiang Yan broke away from the other party's hand, "You have admitted the wrong person."

At this time Fang Baihua also stepped forward, dragged Jiang Yan to rescue him and said, "Brother, is this someone you know?"

Jiang Yan shook his head, "I don't know." He walked side by side with Fang Baihua.

But the person who patted Jiang Yan's shoulder just now touched his chin and smacked his lips, staring at them all the time.

Fang Baihua frowned and said in a low voice, "Your arrest warrants are plastered all over the streets and alleys. We can't go into the city anymore. We'll find another place to stay tonight."

This other place is naturally a small country shop.

Jiang Yan said with a gloomy expression: "How could this be? Did the Zhu family find out that I was not dead? It shouldn't be, Zhu Chong probably wouldn't think so."

Based on his knowledge of Zhu Chong, Zhu Chong saw his death with his own eyes and was sure that he was dead. Even if his body disappeared, he would think that the Gao family stole the body.

Fang Baihua interrupted him, "There are too many people, so don't talk about it on the road. We'll talk in detail at the inn."

She knew in her heart that Jiang Yan's plan must have been foiled, otherwise, how could someone want a dead person.

Jiang Yan's face turned slightly pale, and she glanced at Fang Baihua worriedly, "Holy aunt..."

Fang Baihua said lightly: "Didn't I tell you, we'll talk about it at the inn."

Jiang Yan had no choice but to shut up.

They can't live in the big hotels in the city, so they can only stay in country nightclubs. The inspection here is not strict, and there will be no government officials passing by.

It's just suitable for people with three teachings and nine streams like them.

That night, they stayed in a small roadside inn. After asking for the best room, Fang Baihua, Jiang Yan and others moved in.

"Guest officer, here comes the hot water." After sitting down, the waiter knocked on the door.

The maid went over and opened the door, and saw a young boy who was blind in one eye standing outside the door, looking in sneakily, "Guest officer, take the hot water. By the way, where did you come from?" Huh? The accent doesn't look like a local, it looks like someone from the south."

The maid took the kettle, "What are you talking about, who among the locals doesn't live in his own house, but in an inn?!"

Xiaoer patted himself on the head, "Look at me, I'm stupid, I really can't talk." Then he laughed and went downstairs.

The maid closed the door, returned to Fang Baihua with water, and made two bowls of hot tea.

"Holy Aunt, I think the owner of this shop is sneaky, he doesn't look like a good person, maybe it's a black shop."

There are so many unscrupulous shops, and one accidentally comes across one.

Fang Baihua saw that it was getting late, and there was nowhere to go after leaving here, "Just be more careful."

These four of her maidservants are all heroines, each possessing unique skills, so it is no problem to deal with such small thieves in wild shops.

Jiang Yan was holding hot tea, but didn't have the mood to drink it, "It doesn't make sense, why did you get out of the gang so quickly? Zhu Chong is usually not angry, but once he starts a fire, he won't stop. If I am allowed to die, it was done by the relatives of the Gao family, and they will definitely hold on to the Gao family."

Fang Baihua said coldly: "You are still too reckless, too self-righteous."

Jiang Yan hesitated to speak, "I..."

Saying anything is pale, and they are now wanted by the government, which has already explained everything.

Fang Baihua said: "Don't be too entangled, go back and find the leader to report back. In the future, the big shop will not be able to live, so we can only make do with the small shop. Fortunately, after passing this state capital, our people will take care of it."

Fang La's power is in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is no stronghold in the north and center, but if you go further forward, there will be a hotel opened by Fang La's own people to provide support.

When Jiang Yan heard that he was going to see the leader, his face became even uglier.

Before, he was looking forward to meeting the leader, because he could be rewarded, but now his plan failed, and he was punished to meet the leader.

Returning home like an arrow has turned into hesitation.

And if the aunt didn't say anything, she must be blaming herself for not being good at things.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door again, "Guest officer, do you want food and drink?"

The maid said vigilantly through the door: "We brought dry food ourselves, thank you, you can take it back."

"Okay, then I won't prepare it for you."

Fang Baihua exchanged glances with the maids, then nodded to her, and then the maids came over and blew out the candles.

Jiang Yan asked in a low voice: "Saint? You are..."

"There is something strange about this inn, don't drink the water." Fang Baihua still has his own keen intuition about the activities of the black shop, and sometimes he doesn't find any clues, but just depends on his feeling.

And she, with the blessing of the God of Light, naturally has a prophet in this regard.

Jiang Yan didn't drink the water in front of him, so he pushed it away quickly.

Everyone sat in the dark, quietly waiting for midnight to come.

At this time, in the kitchen of the inn, the boss and the waiter were chatting while sharpening the steel knife in their hands.

"It's not wrong. I think it's that kid Jiang Yan. As for the woman next to me, I don't know, maybe he's a good friend." The shop waiter blew on the steel knife, "I didn't expect the person Li Li wanted to come into our shop Well, that's good luck."

"The hot water you gave them was mixed with Mongolian sweat medicine? Is it enough?"

"Don't worry, even the cattle are overdone." The waiter laughed.

Seeing that it was almost time, the two of them quietly went upstairs with steel knives on their front and rear feet. When they came to the door, they used steel knives to penetrate through the crack of the door, lifted the door latch, and walked in under the moonlight.

But he didn't want Xiaoer to be kicked over by the opponent as soon as he stepped in, and flew out of the room with a wow.

The boss didn't have time to look back at Xiao Er's injury, and felt a pain in the forehead, as if bitten by a snake, and then tasted blood in his mouth.

Fang Baihua flicked the whip, and then drew a second whip towards the shop owner, directly locked the opponent's neck, and dragged him forward.

The shop owner immediately begged for mercy, "The female hero spares her life, the hero spares her life. It's not that I don't want to harm you, it's because the elder brother above has ordered, and the younger brother dare not disobey."

It is also one of the rules of survival in the world to fight if you have been beaten, and to beg for mercy if you can't be beaten.

"Brother above?"

"Brother Li Li, the judge, ordered him to pay [-] yuan for Jiang Yan. We also followed orders. The hero, please forgive me." The boss turned purple and begged for mercy again.

"Urge Judge Li Li?" Fang Baihua asked in surprise, "Who is he?"

She didn't know this person at all, and she didn't have any feuds with him. Moreover, from this nickname, it was clear that she was either someone from the court or someone from the quack.

Why are people in the world also looking for Jiang Yan?

Jiang Yan also said from the side: "Why is he looking for me?"

The boss said, "I, I don't know."

Just when Fang Baihua was wondering, he suddenly heard the maid next to him yell at the window: "Who is it?" and threw a dart, and then heard an ah outside the window, and a black shadow fell down.

Another maid opened the window, and saw a winning bidder lying under the window, and a man holding a steel knife beside him.

The maid thought it was the boss's other guys, and threatened: "Your boss has been caught by us, don't act rashly!"

Unexpectedly, the person outside the window smiled and said: "You kill him, what do we care about?!"

The boss in the house was taken aback when he heard the voice, and then cursed: "Lai Wu, don't think I can't hear it, it's you, right?! Are you trying to kill me?!"

"Hehe, everyone eats according to their ability. Although Jiang Yan lives in your store, it's just your luck. We came to grab it because of our strength! We can't blame us."

Fang Baihua couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, there were clearly two groups of people.

Just when he was surprised, he heard Lai Wu outside the window suddenly shout: "Old Hu! You, why are you here too? Ah?! Zhang Xing Wang Si, you also got the news?"

There was a commotion outside. These people from the rivers and lakes who originally wanted to take advantage of the night to arrest people, arrived outside the inn where Jiang Yan lived, only to find that other people had arrived early, scolding each other for being careless, and getting ahead first.

"Stop arguing, hurry up and do it, whoever catches it first will be the one."

"Yes, hurry up, don't let other brothers come in the future, there will be more people, and you won't be able to grab it."

"Yeah, that's right. When I came out just now, I saw Xu Laoliu rushing here with his returning troops. I guess he will be there in a while."

The maids looked out of the window at this time, and sure enough, they saw figures fanning one after another on the path. It seemed that there were hundreds of people.

Fang Baihua looked at Jiang Yan in shock, "What's going on? Why are so many people looking for you!"

Jiang Yan was also speechless, because he didn't know what it was all about.

"Get out of the way, I want to capture this man for Brother Mu Hong!"

"You just get out of the way. Brother Yusong Gongming calls for this person by name. Don't get in the way."

"Have you heard of the reputation of fighting tiger and Wusong? That's our former leader, you all go away."

At this time, someone complained loudly, "I said, let's do it early, you see, there are more people."

Fang Baihua took a few steps to the window, and saw that there were already dark shadows under the rear window.

There was also a sound downstairs, and it was obvious that someone had already entered the store.

Jiang Yan panicked, "I don't know these people at all!"

What is going on?It was as if a net was encircling him.

The hotel owner who was caught by them also complained, "Look, I am not the only one who wants to arrest you, let me go."

Fang Baihua didn't have time to pay attention to him, and told the maids: "Let's fight out separately, and meet up at the Town God's Temple that we passed by during the day in half an hour today."

Jiang Yan disagreed as soon as he heard it. He is the worst skill in this. If he divides the troops, he will definitely be caught. Besides, these people came for him in the first place.

Except for him, they were all women, and it was not easy to catch him.

"Holy aunt, do you want to ignore me?"

Just like his father, push him into the fire pit.

Mingjiao can attract a group of people to join the group, and the publicity is that everyone is sisters and brothers, and the world is a family.

Fang Baihua was now being questioned by Jiang Yan in front of her servant girl's subordinates about abandoning the congregation, of course she couldn't admit it.

"Jiang Yan, you and I change clothes. After that, in half an hour, there will be a meeting at the Town God's Temple."

Fang Baihua was a tall woman, even if she was a little short of Jiang Yan's height, those people might not be able to tell them apart when they ran fast in the dark.

Alan said: "Holy aunt, let me trade with him."

Fang Baihua waved his hand, "It's not necessary. I should protect everyone." After finishing speaking, she took off her coat and exchanged it with Jiang Yan's clothes and hat.

As soon as the replacement was finished, he heard the creaking sound of stepping on the stair boards. Knowing that there was no longer any delay, Fang Baihua commanded: "I'll count to three, let's fight out through the rear window, Ayu and Alan follow me, and the rest Let's go in our respective directions!" After finishing speaking, they counted down three times in a low voice, and then everyone broke out of the window and killed the generals.

"That! That—the one who caught up with that man—"

"Stop chasing Jiang Yan. There are too many people. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up. It's okay to catch those women. I think they are pretty."

As soon as they escaped, the pursuers swarmed after them.

Jiang Yan was wearing Fang Baihua's clothes and ran for his life. Fortunately, he was lucky and there were fewer people chasing him, and those people couldn't run fast with steel knives, so he hid behind a stone and took his life.

He waited until there was no one around, then came out stooping, wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and went to the Town God's Temple to find Fang Baihua.

When he arrived, Ayu was bandaging the wound on Fang Baihua's arm, which was obviously cut by someone just now, "Holy aunt, is your injury serious?"

Ayu glanced at Jiang Yan reproachfully, isn't it all because of you? !Would the saint be hurt if it wasn't for you?

But she, who abides by the doctrine of suffering together, cannot accuse church members face to face.

Fang Baihua said coldly: "Why are these people looking for you? These people from the Jianghu have different names, but they are all looking for you. Do you have enemies in the Jianghu?"

That's all for the government, why even Jianghu Caomang came to Jiang Yan.

It is very rare for the court and Jianghu to search and arrest a person at the same time.

Jiang Yan really couldn't figure it out, "I really don't know. If I knew, I would definitely tell you, Aunt Sheng."

He could see that the Holy Aunt's opinion of him was not so great, and she had reached the edge of patience.

After all, he was the only one the other party wanted to catch. As long as he wasn't brought along, Fang Baihua and the others would be in no danger at all.

They stayed in the Town God's Temple for one night. The holy aunt and the four maidservants occasionally said a few words, but they didn't communicate a word with Jiang Yan.

Fearing that Jiang Yan would be exposed, he simply stole the woman's clothes from a nearby farmhouse and put them on for Jiang Yan to prevent being recognized.

They can't walk on the big roads, and can't live in big shops, but they are arrested by gangsters in small shops.

I can only choose to have mountain roads and live in the wild.

Obviously, the next state capital will have his own people to support him, but the last part of the journey is really hard.

In the scorching sun, traces of blood oozed from the wound on Fang Baihua's arm, soaking through the bandaged cloth.

Ayu looked impatient, "Holy Aunt, you can't delay this wound, you have to find a doctor for treatment as soon as possible."

Fang Baihua said with a pale face, "Pass over this mountain first, and after a few miles, our people will meet you."

Jiang Yan didn't dare to speak out.

Everyone walked in silence, each having something to say in their hearts.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of gongs and drums on the surrounding hillsides, and they were so startled that they looked around quickly, and saw hundreds of young men standing on the hillside, all holding weapons, looking at them.

Fang Baihua gritted his teeth. They couldn't escape this number, "Dare to ask the hero Gao's name?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll just ask you, what's the name of the man among you?"

Fang Baihua looked at Jiang Yan, who shook his head blankly and horrified at him.

Don't, don't abandon me, Holy Aunt, you said you wouldn't, hurry up!

"Hehe, forget it, I'll catch you first, little ones, catch them!"

Seeing that something was wrong, Fang Baihua could no longer hide her identity, so she had to move out Fang La to suppress the battle, "I am Fang La's younger sister, Fang Baihua, and these four are my maidservants. Please be lenient and let us go there. "

When they heard Fang La's name, the robbers were also shocked.

They were originally from Erlong Mountain, and followed Wu Song and Shi En to Liangshan, but then Liangshan recruited An, they didn't want to work for the court, so they ran here to stand on the top of the mountain and continue to be the king of the mountain.

This Fang La is amazing, a complete rebellion, self-proclaimed king, and occupied many state capitals, even worse than Liang Shanbo.

This woman is Fang La's younger sister, if something happens to her, Fang La will never let it go.

After a while, a man with the appearance of a big boss came down the hillside, cupped his hands and smiled at Fang Baihua, "It turns out that Fang's sister is disrespectful and disrespectful, these idiots are ignorant. If you don't mind, go to the cottage and sit down."

Fang Baihua said weakly: "You don't need to sit down, please let us leave."

"Yes, you and the four maidservants can leave."

Jiang Yan lost his voice: "What about me?"

"I'm sorry, but you have to stay. If the holy lady disagrees, let's go to the village and discuss it slowly. What do you think?" He said, looking at the wound of Baihua below, "Or, this young master will stay , you leave with the others, and we will offer you another bottle of good medicine."

The leader took out a medicine bottle, which should be the best medicine for golden sores.

Jiang Yan was stunned, then knelt down and hugged Fang Baihua's leg, "Holy, Holy Aunt, you can't keep me. Didn't you say that everyone is brothers and sisters, and they belong to the same family?"

Ayu couldn't bear it any longer, pulled Jiang Yan away, and Fang Baihua said: "Holy Aunt, look at how many people are chasing Jiang Yan, we can't take him away at all, even if you don't get caught here, you will have to go to the next place." Facing this situation! Even if there are people in front of him, it doesn't matter, a good tiger can't stand a pack of wolves!"

The other three maidservants also said: "Sage, don't lose the big because of small things! It's not that we don't want Jiang Yan, but Jiang Yan is dragging us down."

Fang Baihua originally thought that Jiang Yan was a burden, but it was not easy to tear his face in front of the maidservant.

Seeing that they were all eager to get rid of Jiang Yan now, he said, "Jiang Yan, you stay here first, and when we go back, we will find more people to rescue you, don't worry."

Jiang Yan fell into the abyss of cold despair, "Don't! Holy aunt, you can't abandon me! You save me back, and I can still work for the church!"

Fang Baihua comforted me perfunctorily, "I told you not to worry, we will be back." After speaking, he took the golden sore medicine bottle from the other party's hand and walked straight forward.

Jiang Yan wanted to follow, but was held down by the bandits.

Jiang Yan seemed to have seen the back view of his father taking him to Zhu Man and leaving with a flick of his sleeves.

Why, why abandoned him again!

This is the case with the father, and so is the church member of the Tianxia Family!

Fang La, Fang Baihua, I will not let you go!

I want you to die without a place to die!

-

Inside the Imperial City Division.

Gao Ming's smile was as bright as the sunny day outside.

Finally, finally!

Catch this bastard!

But Jiang Yan's expression in front of him was as gloomy as Mei Yutian's, and there were enough tears in his eye circles, as if they could fall in the blink of an eye.

Gao Ming took a deep breath, grinned and said, "I know you can't escape the palm of your hand."

Jiang Yan was tied to a chair, watched by Shi Qian and a group of followers, even if he put on wings, he would not even try to run away.

He gritted his teeth and stared at Gao Ming.

Gao Ming raised his eyebrows proudly, "Doesn't it feel good to be chased by the net? You really don't know who your grandfather Gao Ming is.

Of course, I admit that I also don't know much about you. I didn't expect, I didn't expect that you are Fang La.Fang La, a pure rebel, purer than real gold, if you fail, you will be executed by Ling Chi. "

When he brought Jiang Yan back, he learned from Fan Rui that Jiang Yan was Fang La's.

For Gao Ming, this was a surprise. He was worried that when Jiang Yan was caught, he would have nothing to do with the forces conspiring to shake King Yun, so how would he smooth things over.

I didn't expect that Jiang Yan was from Fang La. Isn't this a big conspiracy behind it? Although it has nothing to do with shaking, it has something to do with shaking control, and the situation is even more serious.

Upon hearing Ling Chi, Jiang Yan's expression changed, and he looked at Gao Ming in horror.

Gao Ming sneered, "Could it be that when you joined Fang La's group, you never thought you would have today?"

Jiang Yan's expression was not as calm as before, because he knew that what Gao Ming said was not a lie.

Gao Ming said slowly: "Come on, tell me, how did you join Fang La?"

Fang La is the leader of a military armed group, but he is also the leader of Mingjiao in the Jiangnan area. Otherwise, he would not be able to gather so many people.

Mingjiao, also known as Manichaeism, was introduced to the Central Plains in the Tang Dynasty. It is basically a mixture of many teachings in the West and the Middle East. It worships light, so its followers often wear white clothes, and they avoid alcohol and meat, and only vegetarian.

It was called Manichaeism before, but it was called Mingjiao in this dynasty.

Although Jiang Yan didn't resist as much as before, she still didn't cooperate very much, "Why tell you?"

Shi Qian looked at it from the side, and said unhappily: "Hey, you kid is still showing off at this time?! If you don't drop the coffin, you won't cry, right?"

Hearing the words, Jiang Yan spat at him to show his attitude.

"You!" Shi Qian raised his hand, as if to hit him.

"Hey, don't be rude. It won't be beautiful if you ask someone to see it later." Gao Ming said with a smile: "If you don't tell me, who do you want to tell? Tell Master Zhu? Okay, I have already sent someone to tell you They're here, and they're probably here soon."

Jiang Yan was escorted back to the Imperial City Division half an hour ago, and as soon as the big man arrived, Gao Ming sent people to inform all the dignitaries who could be notified as witnesses.

What Zhu Chong, Tengfu Yin, Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing, and King Yun are all invited, the more the better, it is best to come to witness by the whole people.

Upon hearing Zhu Chong's name, Jiang Yan was furious, with a grim and distorted expression.

Gao Ming discovered this, and quickly sprinkled salt on the wound, causing the other party to suffer, "Looking at you, it seems that you don't want to see Zhu Chong, I advise you not to have this attitude, now you only have Zhu Chong. When a gift is presented, you are not treated as a son, let alone a human being. As for Fang Baihua, the brothers and sisters in the world who were promised as a family, encountered difficulties and abandoned you without blinking an eye. When you When I joined the teaching, I thought that I could finally find warmth, but unfortunately, you can only be abandoned again and again."

Killing hearts.

He has been looking for Jiang Yan for so long, and has abolished so many chapters. Now this guy is in front of him. If he doesn't clean up him, is he worthy of himself?

Sure enough, Jiang Yan's eyes turned red immediately when he heard these words, and he wanted to struggle angrily almost without thinking, "I'm going to kill you—"

But his hands and feet were tied, and as soon as he stood up, he rushed forward, just at Gao Ming, and Shi Qian and others saw him and hurriedly grabbed him, but at this moment, Jiang Yan's The teeth have already bit Gao Ming Yupei, and he will not let go.

Shi Qian and the others pulled hard, but Jiang Yan broke the rope hanging the jade pendant.

Gao Ming was shocked. The jade pendant was inherited from the Hua Rong family, and he hurriedly said to Jiang Yan, "Don't—" Before he could say the words, Jiang Yan let go, and the jade pendant fell to the ground and broke into two pieces. Half.

Gao Ming froze in the air, looked straight at Jiang Yan, and had just one thought, I will kill you!

Shi Qian breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately Jiang Yan only tore off the jade pendant, and the people in the yamen were not injured, but the next moment Gao Ming raised his foot and kicked Jiang Yan hard in the chest, kicking Jiang Yan to the back overturned.

How much trouble have you caused me by framing me? !

Almost called me a scapegoat and damaged the reputation of the Taiwei Mansion!

Made me owe a favor to those people in Liangshan.

It also cost [-] pennies!

And now, you even dropped the jade pendant that Huarong gave me? !

-

Zhu Chong, Tengfu Yin, Cai Jing, and several officials from the Ministry of Punishment arrived almost at the same time, because they all came as soon as they heard the news.

An official of the Imperial City Department received them and led them to the back hall, "Our lord and Jiang Yan are both inside."

Zhu Chong was so nervous that he couldn't say a word, but Cai Jing was still able to handle it with ease, "Zhu Chong, you have to watch carefully after a while."

Zhu Chong kept nodding, don't try to fool him with a fake.

Just when they were about to reach the door, they heard someone inside say: "My lord, forget it, calm down, don't get tired, just beat someone and call our brothers."

"Yes, my lord, please sit down and have a sip of tea."

"Eh? My lord, why are you standing up again? Hey, don't swing the chair! Hands carefully!"

After Zhu Chong heard this, he hurriedly opened the door, only to see Gao Ming being stopped by two subordinates, and he was holding a chair in his hand to hit someone.

Everyone was stunned.

Tengfu Yin and a group of officials from the Ministry of Punishment sweated a lot. His temper was too violent. He deserved to have been in Liangshan before, so he had to be more careful when talking to him in the future.

Cai Jing was also shocked. In the court full of literati, no one spoke but did not move.

But this Gao Ming.

Not only is he eloquent when he speaks, but he is also unambiguous when it is time to act.
