The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty

Gao Ming seemed to have been immobilized, and was already too stiff to move, only his eyes blinked in a daze.

At the same time, he had a deep experience of what it means to be a wild deer, ah no, he is a group of wild deer, he was even a little afraid of this distance, Hua Rong could hear his heartbeat.

"Any new ideas?" Seeing that he was silent, Hua Rong asked again with a smile.

Gao Ming forced himself to remain calm, "It's fine if you have a new idea, put me down quickly."

Hua Rong didn't let him down in a hurry, and asked calmly: "Why is your face a little red? Are you hot?" As he spoke, he lowered his head further.

Gao Ming was shocked, Huarong wanted to use his forehead to test whether he had a fever, it couldn't be done, it couldn't be done.

He straightened his neck, turned his head to the side and said, "You don't even know how many months the weather is in Hangzhou, can it not be hot? Let me down quickly."

When he turned his head, a red line appeared at the neckline. Huarong saw him, put him down first, and then stretched out his fingers to pick the jade pendant around Gao Ming's neck.

Hua Rong was overjoyed, "Are you wearing it around your neck too?"

"Cough, yes, I saw you wearing it like this the other day, and thought it was good and safe." Gao Ming took the jade pendant back pretending to be calm, and stuffed it into his collar again.

He could feel that Huarong was very happy, the corners of his mouth were always curled up, and his tone was smiling, "I knew you would keep it close to me."

Gao Ming didn't dare to look into Hua Rong's eyes, "Don't stand still, sit down and talk." He took the initiative to sit at the table, it might be because the weather was too hot, he took out his fan and kept fanning, "We are still here Turn off the top, why isn't it cool at all?"

"Let me fan you." Hua Rong took the fan in Gao Ming's hand, fanned him with one hand, propped his chin with the other hand, looked at him with a sideways smile, "Is it still hot?"

Gao Ming nodded slightly, and said, "It's much better." In fact, it wasn't any better at all, it seemed to be getting hotter.

Hua Rong smiled and said, "By the way, do you still remember what we did the night we reunited in Liangshan?"

Of course Gao Ming remembered, he talked with him all night long, and he seemed to know what Hua Rong was going to say.

Sure enough, Hua Rong suggested, "Why don't we follow suit tonight, don't you want to have a good chat with me?"

Gao Ming took a breath and evasively said, "Well, I..."

Worried about what to say next, he suddenly heard a soldier say outside the door: "Master Gao, General Hua, your subordinates have military information."

That's great, to save the urgent need, Gao Ming hurriedly said: "Come in."

"Master Gao, General Hua, discovered the trail of Pang Wanchun's deputy general Ji Su!"

Ji Su was Pang Wanchun's lieutenant general. After conquering Yuling, he counted the number of enemy generals, but Pang Wanchun and Fang Tianding were not found. The soldiers said that the generals had already escaped by other paths.

Ji Su is Pang Wanchun's lieutenant general, and if he is found, it means that Pang Wanchun may be found.

Hua Rong immediately said: "Understood, tell General Qin that they must gather troops and horses, and I will personally lead the troops to chase them."

When the sergeant went down to give the order, Hua Rong looked at Gao Ming with a smile that was not a smile, "I was thinking just now, what excuses would you find to escape, but I didn't expect that there was information about the enemy, so I had to stop chasing them."

Gao Ming pretended not to understand, "What escape, what interruption?"

Hua Rong didn't point it out, just said: "I'm going to chase Ji Su, you go back to Hangzhou first, wait for me to catch them, and then go back to Hangzhou to see you."

Gao Ming thought for a while, "I have ridden for so long to get here, so I have to take a good rest before I can go back to Hangzhou with strength."

The implication is that if I don't leave, I will wait for you to come back at Yuling Pass.

Of course Huarong was happy, "Then you wait here for me, I'll come back as soon as I go." Saying goodbye to Gao Ming, he went out.

Gao Ming stayed in the house for a while, pacing back and forth, but couldn't help but come to Guanding, watching Hua Rong lead the army down the mountain.

Qin Ming was the first to notice Gao Ming's figure at a high place, but after taking a look, he quickly straightened his head.

Seeing Qin Ming's actions, Shi Jin turned his head curiously, and saw Mr. Gao standing on the top of the pass looking at them. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Mr. Gao is seeing us off."

Qin Ming shook his head in his heart, is that for you?They are sending flowers, okay? !

Hua Rong heard Shi Jin's words, turned his head to look up, and saw Gao Ming, so he said with a smile: "He is sending me off."

Shi Jin was taken aback, why did he feel that something was weird?Wouldn't Mr. Gao see you off?Why the emphasis on just sending you off?

Hua Rong raised his whip to Gao Ming, and then saw Gao Ming waved his hand at him, so he turned his head in satisfaction, sat upright, and continued to ride the horse down the mountain.

Shi Jin thought disappointedly, sure enough, the village owner would be best with General Hua, and he waved to Hua Rong without waving when others looked at him.

Qin Ming sees you, are you two acting too obvious?

However, why is it so obvious that no one else seems to notice except myself?

Are you all so numb?

Qin Ming looked around, and it seemed that he was the only one who felt something was wrong.

-

Huarong led troops down the mountain, while Gao Ming and some remaining generals stayed at Yuling Pass, worried that Fang La's men would try to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and send troops to seize the pass while Huarong was going down the mountain, so Gao Ming told people to be strict and never let down their vigilance , Report to him immediately if there is any situation.

But after working so hard for so many days, he relied on Huarong to support him before. Now that Huarong has gone down the mountain, he doesn't know when he will come back.

After sitting for a while, nodding his head in sleepiness, Shi Qian and the others persuaded him to rest. He was also afraid that he would be tired, so he told them to call him sometimes, so he went to rest.

He fell asleep almost as soon as he lay down, and had a dream. In the dream, he actually used his mobile phone, opened the search engine, and entered: "The friendship between me and my good brother has deteriorated. What should I do?" He couldn't see everything, he was anxious and woke up.

He hurriedly turned over and continued to sleep, this time he dreamed that he was doing a set of test questions called "Test you are straight or crooked".

Finally, he was able to jump to the answer page. Before he could see clearly, Shi Qian's hazy voice came from his ear, "My lord, my lord..."

Woke him up from his sleep directly, there is no score interpretation, only a face of Shi Qian.

Gao Ming held his forehead in grief and indignation, "What's the matter?"

Shi Qian felt that Mr. Gao's tone was jittery, as if he was about to cry, and said cautiously: "General Hua came to report that they surrounded Ji Su, but Ji Su caught the Zhu brothers and threatened them to retreat. , I want to ask you what should I do?"

Gao Ming was stunned for a moment, ignoring his set of test questions, "Brother Zhu Mo was captured by Ji Di? Are they idiots? Didn't they run away? How could they still be captured by the enemy?"

Shi Qian scolded, "Yeah, I can't even run away! My lord, what should I do now? Should I send the message, or should you go there yourself?"

The gangsters took the hostages and asked the government to withdraw their troops. Gao Ming, as the representative of the government, had to be in charge of negotiating, "I'll go there myself and prepare the horses."

He was riding on horseback, turning his head from time to time trying to recall the last scene in his dream.

What was the last answer written?

Can't remember.

It was all Zhu Xi's fault. If nothing happened to him, wouldn't he have seen it? !

-

It turns out that Pang Wanchun's lieutenant general, Ji Su, saw that his general, Shi Bao and others had left the pass with only the crown prince, and the morale of the army was slackened.

He's going to find a place where we don't care about it.

But to be a king of the mountain, you have to reward your subordinates. Running out of Yuling pass was too hasty, not to mention any troubles, not even food and drink, so he could only rob non-stop.

Those who lived in the city could not be robbed, so they could only rob villages that were not protected by high walls, and went directly into the village to fill their stomachs first.

Ji Su brought out about five to six hundred men, more than enough to control a small village.

After guarding the entrance of the village, although the village's Baozheng cried and told them that the village had no money at all, he still released all his men to rob, and the red turbans swept across the village for a while.

As a result, the gold, silver and jewels that were swept out surprised him. Ji Di looked at the treasure in front of him, and was stunned. He grabbed Baozheng from the village and said, "You old man, your village is so rich, why did you dare to deceive your grandfather just now?" No money?!" After that, he chopped it off with a knife.

Baozheng's family next to him knelt down tremblingly in fright and explained: "Grandpa, our village really has no money. I don't know where the gold and silver were found from? A bunch of foreign businessmen came to stay overnight, maybe they brought, if that’s the case, it really has nothing to do with us, we didn’t lie.”

After cross-examination by Ji Di, he found out that it was found by a group of foreigners staying in the village.

There are more than a hundred people in this group of outsiders, and they seem to be pampered.

But I learned from the villagers that only two of them are the leaders, and everyone else listens to them.

When Ji Su heard this, he smiled happily and said, "It must be the young master who has stocked up in a store, that's great, tie him up and take him away."

In the next step, he only needs to occupy a nearby hilltop and fall grass on the spot, and then recruit soldiers with the gold and silver he looted, and then write a letter to the rich businessman's family to extort money, and it will be another fortune.

Soon, his subordinates brought the two rich men to Ji Su, and Ji Su didn't think much about it. He simply glanced at him and ordered, "Tie them up and take them with you. As for the rest of their gang, chop them up." Lose his right hand, tell them to go back and report the letter, and say that Nine Heavens Flying Dragon Ji Su requires them to pay money and food before releasing him."

The purpose of chopping off the right hand was to spread panic, so that the family would be so frightened that they would rush to pay for the ransom.

Hearing this, these people panicked and begged for mercy, "My lord, we must bring your news to you, and leave our right hand to eat."

Ji Su raised his eyebrows, "There's a lot of nonsense, if you don't want to give your right hand, don't keep it, someone, kill them all."

In a blink of an eye, the lives of these people were all at risk, and some made a last-ditch effort to get up and run away when they were unprepared.

Ji Su is Pang Wanchun's subordinate, and he has also learned good archery skills. He let the man run, and after running a long distance, he unhurriedly shot an arrow, which hit the back of the man.

"Run, who else will run?" Ji Di waved his hand, "Kill them all."

Because they were not from the village, the villagers watched silently.

"My lord—help us—" Someone who was unwilling to die, stretched out his hands to the two "rich businessmen" who were tied up, begging.

Hearing the word "Master", Ji Di was taken aback, "Wait a minute, what kind of adults are they? Whoever speaks out, I will spare them from death."

At the moment of life and death, it is good to live an extra stick of incense, so they scrambled to say the names of these two people, "They are Zhu Xi and Zhu Xu!"

Zhu Xi was well-known, and he was one of the few people who could achieve "no one in the world knows the emperor" in the Song Dynasty.

In particular, Fang La's rebellion at the beginning was because of Zhu Miao's violent expropriation in the Jiangnan area, and he kept sending them new rebel troops.

Ji Su himself didn't believe in Mingjiao, and he rebelled with Fang La purely to seek a future, but he hated Zhu Man himself no worse than others.

He opened his eyes and said sarcastically, "Yo, Master Zhu? Why are you here?"

Zhu Qian closed his eyes in despair, he didn't want to be here either.

Who would have thought that Hangzhou could be defended? It is reasonable for him to escape after the city of Hangzhou was destroyed. After all, Gao Ming and the others are dead, so he can tell the emperor whatever he wants.

Now that Hangzhou is fine, he hurried back, and maybe he could make up some reason to move the rescuers to protect the things bestowed by the officials in the future.

He placed his wife and children elsewhere, and rushed to Hangzhou overnight with his younger brother, staying overnight in this village on the way, but he didn't want to meet the remnants of Fang La's army.

How unlucky it is.

Ji Su walked around Zhu Xi, sneered, "You used the fat of the people to make yourself fat."

Zhu Mian didn't know what he meant, but he knew it was absolutely nothing good.

Hearing Ji Su's next sentence, he said loudly: "Little ones, prepare the pot! Cook this guy and eat together!"

Zhu Xi was so frightened that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence, "Da, Dawang, Rao, Rao, Rao..."

Ji Di went up and kicked him, "No breed dog official!" Glancing at Zhu Xu who was already shaking like chaff, "You, it's good to eat roasted."

Ji Su, who was thinking about how to prepare for the human flesh dinner, suddenly heard a report from his subordinates, "General, it's not good, the officers and soldiers are chasing you."

Ji Su frowned, "Why so fast?"

The little school next to him said regretfully: "It must be because some villagers escaped and reported the news. They should have killed them all as soon as they entered the village, leaving no one behind."

Ji Di nodded in agreement, thinking in his heart that next time he will definitely not leave anyone alive, "Get out! Bring these two with you, and you will still be hungry on the way, haha."

He wasn't very worried, and he was still in the mood to joke, because he felt that there must be only a small group of officers and soldiers who came, and he couldn't do anything to them.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he rode his horse to the entrance of the village, he encountered a fierce attack and could hardly hold on. He hurried back to the village, thinking about escaping from the village in another direction, and his subordinates brought him a desperate news, "It's not good , the whole village was besieged."

Seeing the officers and soldiers slowly encircling the village from all walks of life, Ji Di quickly showed the grain reserves he had just grabbed, "Zhu Xie and Zhu Xu are here, you don't want them to die, so get out of here quickly! "

The officers and soldiers did not dare to act rashly, so they asked General Hua for instructions.

Hua Rong had never entered Hangzhou City before, so he didn't know that Zhu Xu had left early, so he thought Ji Su was bluffing.

At this moment, Zhu Qiang's followers ran out in the chaos, shouting: "Master Zhu is in the hands of the enemy—don't act rashly—"

After careful interrogation, Hua Rong confirmed that it was Zhu Xie inside, and couldn't help frowning, whether to save Zhu Xie, or to ignore his life or death, the way to deal with it is very different.

The rest of the people listened and persuaded: "General, this matter must be handled by Mr. Gao."

After all, Zhu Miao was a favorite minister, and he had some problems that no one could take responsibility for, but Gao Ming was different, he was on equal footing with Zhu Mian, and he was also a deputy privy envoy, so he just had to listen to his decisions.

Hua Rong thought for a while, let Gao Ming make the decision on whether to stay or not, and said, "Send someone to invite Mr. Gao."

-

Gao Ming rode his horse to the village where Ji Su was besieged, feeling so tired that his bones were about to break, he silently put the blame on Zhu Mo.

"Master Gao is here, Gundam is here." The officers and soldiers felt confident when they saw Gao Ming coming.

Seeing Huarong walking towards him, Gao Ming was afraid that he would come to hug him, so he quickly got off the horse and couldn't help but think in his mind that he should give Huarong a set of test questions first.

Hua Rong paid attention to Gao Ming's physical condition, and after making sure that he was fine, he lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "If you want to save Zhu Xi, I will use my troops cautiously. If you don't, just rush in. Afterwards, it was reported that Zhu Mian died in the rebellious army."

Gao Ming said in a lower voice: "The servants of Zhu's family are here. The strong attack caused Zhu's death, so they will be arrested. Let me think about it and see if there is another way."

Hua Rong knew what Gao Ming was planning, so he resumed his normal speaking distance, and said, "Now Ji Su has taken people to hide in Baozheng Courtyard in the village, holding Zhu Xi and Zhu Xu brothers hostage."

What he said now, everyone around could hear him.

Gao Ming said indifferently, "Take me to have a look."

Hua Rong nodded, covered Gao Ming, and walked all the way to the outside of Baozheng's house.

At this time, the people inside the wall saw the officers and soldiers approaching again, and shouted: "Retreat quickly, if you don't retreat, I will kill this dog official Zhu Xi."

Gao Ming really wanted to say, chop it up quickly, don't hesitate.

It's a pity that there are not only him and Hua Rong around, but also countless pairs of eyes. It would definitely not work without a symbolic rescue, so he shouted loudly, "Don't get excited, don't hurt Master Zhu."

The people inside saw Gao Ming from the hole in the courtyard wall, "Go away and ask the general in armor to come out and speak!"

Gao Ming quickly said: "I am Gao Ming, the deputy privy envoy. I can have the final say here. I am sincerely negotiating with you. I am very sincere. You don't have to doubt it."

Zhu Mian woke up at this moment, hearing Gao Ming say outside that he wanted to save him, he was wandering on the verge of life and death, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, Gao Ming, you are really a good person.

Ji Su saw that they were surrounded by the army, if they didn't use Zhu Shi in his hands, they would have a dead end, so he shouted impatiently: "I said, you retreat for me, let me go."

Gao Ming said without any emotion: "Don't get excited, we can talk about the conditions slowly."

"What the fuck, you're deaf, I just have one condition, you retreat and tell me to leave!" Ji Su said angrily.

Gao Ming didn't seem to hear what Ji Su said at all, and said to himself, "How about this, you let Zhu Xi and his younger brother go, and let me replace them."

Hua Rong was startled, and said urgently in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense, it's impossible!"

Qin Ming and Shi Jin exclaimed in unison: "Yes, absolutely not!"

To trade himself for Zhu Xi?Mr. Gao is really crazy.

Zhu Xi in the courtyard heard this, but nodded hurriedly, and said to Ji Su: "He is willing to replace us." After finishing speaking, he was slapped hard on the face, "Shut up!"

Ji Su thought to himself, you think I'm stupid, do I believe you if you say you are the deputy privy envoy?In case you are traded in, you are a nobody, wouldn't it be a loss.Zhu Xi's card is already big enough, and there is no need to take risks.

Ji Su roared: "My patience is limited, don't play tricks."

Gao Ming still said: "Please let me go in and change Master Zhu."

"Shut up, don't mention this again, it's impossible."

The officers and generals were relieved when they heard that Ji Su refused to exchange hostages. They knew what kind of person Mr. Gao was. !

Mr. Gao is at this time, and he wants to rescue Zhu Xi, a bastard who abandoned the city and left, regardless of his own safety.

So kind, so benevolent,

Gao Ming pretended to be disappointed, and looked at the generals around him, "Oh, Ji Su disagrees."

He had expected that Ji Di would absolutely disagree with his proposal, so he said that on purpose.

Regardless of whether Zhu Man could be rescued or not, he had taken the advantage of public opinion, and when it was brought up in the future, no one would praise him for his kindness and righteousness.

This bastard Zhu Xi, when the enemy army came, he gave up resisting and ran away, but now he is needed to rescue him, if he doesn't get a good reputation from him, is he worthy of him riding so far to come here on horseback?

Shi Jin whispered impatiently: "Don't worry about the life and death of that surnamed Zhu, I will lead a team of people to rush in through the back door."

Qin Mingdao: "If you don't care about the safety of the hostages, then it's very easy to handle. You don't need to go through the back door, but go directly through the front door and kill them all."

Gao Ming shook his head, "You can't attack by force, you can only outsmart. If Zhu Xi dies because of us, it will be very troublesome."

The best way, of course, is to ask Ji Su to kill him, and then they will kill Ji Su.

Hua Rong felt that Gao Ming must have his own plan, "Make up your mind, we will listen to you."

Gao Ming said righteously to the enemy in the courtyard: "Since you do not agree to exchange prisoners, then I advise you not to be stubborn, put down the butcher's knives, release the hostages, surrender and surrender, and try to deal with them lightly."

Ji Su became angry when he heard it. If he surrendered, the lightest punishment would be Ling Chi’s beheading. What he wanted was to survive. Let’s collect the corpse, my life or Zhu Qian’s, which one is more important, think about it for yourself.”

Gao Ming put on a distressed tone, "Ji Su, don't listen to advice, ask yourself, do you really want to do such a thing? Think about it, when you were young, you were an innocent child, what is it? What made you change like this? Is it the evil Mingjiao? I know, it must be, Fang La turned you into an evil person who kills without batting an eye."

Shi Jin and Qin Ming heard Gao Ming's long-winded words, and wondered, Master Gao wanted to influence Ji Su?Although tall and talented, how could Ji Di give up resistance just because of these few words? , Ji Su has reached a desperate situation, and he will die if he surrenders. How can he listen to advice.

I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.

After hearing these words, Ji Su couldn't help becoming more irritable, "How many times have I told you, don't say such nonsense!"

Why did Fang La turn him into this?As long as he can remember, he has been a mischievous child. He beat people to death when he was a teenager. He is so bad whether he meets Fang La or not.

"Ji Su, don't you have an [-]-year-old mother to support? Think about her tearful eyes, how would she feel if she saw you like this? Your father hoped that his son would become a dragon, and he didn't want you to be like this, right?"

Ji Su was extremely anxious, his parents had died long ago, and he didn't even remember what they looked like, "I'll say it one last time, I want you to withdraw your troops! Let me go! Otherwise I..."

Gao Ming interrupted him: "Ji Su, don't hurt Mr. Zhu, and don't do anything wrong for yourself. I don't know if you have read "The Induction of the Supreme Being". The seriousness of the crime is counted by seizing people. If you count less, you will be poor and wasteful. When you are in trouble, everyone will hate it. Punishment and misfortune will follow. , How many sins have you committed? In addition, "Taishang Induction Chapter" says..."

Ji Su only felt that the other party's buzzing voice was in his mind, such, such, such a fart!

His head was so big that he frantically copied the knife and held Zhu Xi's head. After a scream like killing a pig, he had an extra ear in his hand and threw it over the wall with his hand, "I'll say withdraw the troops again." If you don't withdraw, I'll cut Zhu Xi bit by bit!"

Gao Ming saw the bloody ear on the ground, and thought to himself, he thought that Zhu Mian screamed just now, because Ji Su killed him, but it turned out that there was not, only one ear was cut off.

Zhu Mian was so painful that he almost passed out, but he knew that if he passed out at this time, he would definitely die here, no, he would be killed here by Gao Ming.

Gao Ming seemed to be persuading Ji Su just now, but the real situation was clearly to provoke Ji Su and wanted to use Ji Su's hand to kill him.

And even if Ji Su really killed him, Gao Ming would still be able to tell the officials, "Ji Su is extremely vicious. I tried my best to dissuade him, and even recited Taoist classics to persuade him to be kind, but he still brutally killed Master Zhu."

When Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji heard that the other party was a villain who could not be persuaded to come back with scriptures, he only felt that Gao Ming had tried his best.

In the current situation, everyone present, even the Zhu family's cronies couldn't fault Gao Ming, even Gao Ming offered to exchange hostages just now, even if Zhu Miao died, the Zhu family would still have to thank Gao Ming.

Gao Ming is trying to kill him here.

How vicious!
