The dream of a lonely hero

Fang Xun said:"Eighth brother, please don't be impatient! The magistrate of the county is in a state of distress recently. The money stolen from the county government has not yet been recovered. Yao Yong, the governor's first yamen, died and the murderer fled. Not to mention, Yao Yongzhong, the second yamen of the magistrate, was in Yulong again yesterday. Huangnipo in the county went crazy after his ribs were broken by a stranger and returned home; Yao Shu, the governor, was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke, and he scolded the county magistrate until his body was completely bruised. If the thief or murderer cannot be found within a month, the county magistrate will be handed over to the officials for questioning. The matter of recommending the seventh brother will have to be delayed."

Yuanda said:"Brother! This is the opportunity to recommend the seventh brother. Do you want the county to recommend the seventh brother? Ling definitely wants to solve the case as soon as possible, but you said that you don't have anyone capable of doing so, wouldn't it be natural to recommend Seventh Brother?"

Fang Xun lost his mind in a panic, but Yuanda, who was usually timid and timid, suddenly came up with a good idea.

Fang Xun said:"Haha! What a great idea. It really impressed me. I never noticed how smart my eighth brother is!"

Yuanda was overjoyed when he heard the praise. He smiled innocently and said,"Haha! How can you blame me? ? It’s weird that the eldest brother always looks at the eighth brother through the crack in the door."

Fang Xun said with a smile:"The eldest brother hasn’t noticed yet, but the eighth brother is a monkey, so he can climb up if he is given a pole!"

Yuanda joked,"It’s still weird. Brother, if you had given me the pole earlier, brother wouldn't have noticed it earlier!"

Yuanda made Fang Xun extremely happy, and Yan Yun couldn't help laughing.

Suddenly, Yan Yun's face was full of sadness, thinking: The governor ordered the county magistrate to solve the case within a time limit, and the county magistrate is the elder brother's superior. It must be the eldest brother's patrol envoy's job to arrest the fugitives. If he can't catch the criminal, he will definitely suffer the crime. The eldest brother is very kind to him. How could Rushan implicate him and ruin his future? He said:"Brother! Take the seventh brother back to the county government office. Yao Yongzhong in the second government office is the seventh brother who is disabled. Don't let the seventh brother miss your eldest brother's future."

Fang Xun believed it. Only a brave man like Yan Yun can accomplish such a feat that shocked Zhenzhou. Looking at the serious Yan Yun, knowing that he can do it, he said sternly:"You Yanqiulong! You don't talk about Meiyuan at all. Feelings of loyalty, who do you think Fang Xun is? Is Fang Xun a traitor to his friends for glory! Not to mention that for the sake of a small ninth-grade inspector, even the general, prime minister, and prince Fang Xun are not uncommon; you have a chivalrous heart, I also have Fang Xun. Yao Yong in the second yamen was full of loyalty and evil, and everyone had to punish him. I can only lament that Fang Xun was bound by an official uniform and did not have your chivalrous actions. Every time I think of those evil young men in the yamen running rampant in the countryside, I can't bring them to justice. I am so ashamed to be punished by the law! I really want to hang up my official title and wander around the rivers and lakes to satisfy my grudges, kill all those who do all kinds of evil, and return to a world of He Qing and Haiyan! Alas! As an official, I wanted to support justice, punish evil and eliminate traitors, but I didn’t expect it. But there is nothing he can do, which really makes Fang Xun heartbroken!"

Yan Yun and Yuanda were speechless. moment.

Yan Yun said:"Brother, you don't have to blame yourself. If all the officials in the Song Dynasty have the chivalrous heart of my brother, why worry about the unrest in the world! Brother, please don't abandon your official position out of anger. Do you think that when you leave, corrupt officials will fill your current position as inspector?" , there is one more dirty official in the world, and the life of the people will be even worse."

Fang Xun said:"Then let's ask the Song Dynasty to have one more honest official! Seventh brother, Huangnipo is located at the state boundary, and the state and county arrest people for ten days If I can't catch you in Ban Yue, I'll think it's the work of a stranger. The matter outside Zhenzhou is beyond the reach of Yao Shu, the governor of Zhenzhou. It's not a murder case. It will be ignored as time goes by. When the news passes, my eldest brother is recommending you to the county magistrate. It's just that I feel sorry for my seventh brother, please stay at home and don't move around, and never let the public take hold of you."

The three of them ate for a while, but Fang Xun was afraid that Yan Yun would be held by the arresting public servant, so he paid for the wine and rice and broke up the banquet, and went their separate ways. Return to your residence and rest.

Yan Yun returned to Yunzhuang without leaving home for a month, during which he held a simple anniversary ceremony for his father; secondly, he practiced martial arts and reviewed scriptures, and never slacked off in both civil and martial arts; he spent time with his mother on the annual"New Year's Eve" festival (Spring Festival). ). More than a month later, Fang Xun recommended Yan Yun to the magistrate of Yulong County as the county magistrate (the official in charge of criminal justice in the county). Fang Xun, Yan Yun, and Yuanda all stayed in the county government office. They worked together as errands and lived and ate together. They were inseparable and shared joys and sorrows together. The brothers worked together to cut off the gold. Inspection envoy Fang Xun led Dutou Yuanda, Dian envoy Yanyun and hundreds of local soldiers from Yulong County to annihilate three groups of hundreds of local thieves and grass bandits within half a month. The county magistrate was overjoyed and rewarded Fang Xun with a thousand guan. Fang Xun divided the reward into four parts and shared them with Yan Yun, Yuanda and the local soldiers. Fang Xun was shrewd, capable and accomplished many extraordinary feats, was loyal and benevolent, and was deeply appreciated by the county. County magistrate Wang Deyan wanted to"one beauty cover up all ugliness" to save the face of Yulong County magistrate who had his silver stolen, and recommended Fang Xun to the governor Yao Shu. Yao Shu angrily rebuked the county magistrate:"Yao Yongzhong was injured in Huangnipo Eryamen, but you were prevaricating. You couldn't find the murderer for two months and said it was a foreigner. You haven't been investigated yet. Now you are going around the corner to claim credit. You are really shameless."! The case of the theft of official silver from Yulong County could not be solved within one month, so the county magistrate Wang Deyan was handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for discussion. The county magistrate Wang Deyan was disappointed when he asked for credit, so he returned to the county government to order Fang Xun to solve the case as soon as possible.

Fang Xun When the Inspection Department of Yulong County took office, the county magistrate Wang Deyan sent him to arrest him. Fang Xun went to the jail to interrogate Dutou Tang Wei, who was escorting Guan Yin at the time. Tang Wei said that the thief looked like Yan Feng who returned to Yunzhuang. After Fang Xun After some investigation, he learned that Yan Feng was Yan Yun's younger brother. He was thinking about how to catch Yan Feng due to his friendship with Yan Yun. The county magistrate Wang Deyan urged him again and again, but it was just a secret. After Fang Xun saw Yan Yun, he considered forming a sworn brother. The situation is not convenient for Yan Feng. Today, the county magistrate Wang Deyan urged Fang Xun to arrest Yan Feng within one month. Fang Xun was in a dilemma. He took a step back because he wanted to capture Yan Feng. He heard from the official that he had been in Yulong since the official silver was stolen from Yulong County. The county has never seen the shadow of Yan Feng. Where can we get him? At night, Fang Xun tossed and turned and walked alone in the yard. Yuanda drank too much wine and cleaned his hands. When he saw Fang Xun, he asked him what happened and said,"Brother! If you go to get Yanfeng, you will be sorry for Brother Qi. How did you do this unjust thing?"

"How can't it be done?"Yan Yun said.

Fang Xun tossed and turned. Yan Yun knew that he was worried but couldn't help it. Yuanda walked out of the room again. Yan Yun lost his sleep and got up, got dressed and was about to go out when he heard Fang Xun and Yuanda talking. Yan Feng walked out of the door.

Fang Xun and Yuanda were startled when they heard Yan Yun's voice.

Fang Xun said:"Seventh brother, why don't you sleep?"

Yan Yun said:"Brother, there is no need to be embarrassed. Yan Feng committed a crime and it is reasonable to arrest him. Fang

Xun thought Yan Yun was controlling his energy and comforted him:"Don't worry, seventh brother!" The eldest brother will not betray his friends for glory. He would rather lose the inspector than take Yan Feng.

Yan Yun said:"Brother!" As an official of the imperial court, you did not want to serve the country and the people, but you neglected your duties. Yan Feng, a wolf, a greedy rat, and a thief, went unpunished. Do you remember our oath of sworn brotherhood? 'Work together to save the poor and help the people in danger; report to the country and protect the common people.’"

Fang Xun was shocked and suddenly felt ashamed.

Yuanda was stunned and said:"Seventh brother! You are crazy. The eldest brother cares about the justice of our Jinlan and refuses to harm my younger brother, but you say this to him! Besides, what if the official silver was mostly stolen by the people? Those official thieves rely on the official To the people, the law is like 'The Sea Dragon King eats crabs, knocks the bones and sucks the marrow'. Everyone goes free. Who will do anything to them? Only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps. Is this the law of the court?"

Yan Yun said:"Eighth brother, it's true that corrupt officials are corrupt. We can't do anything about it, but we can't let the unscrupulous rogues poison the lives because of this! The eldest brother loves the seventh brother even more. Although the seventh brother is stupid, how can he not know it, but we brothers cannot take small righteousness and destroy the great righteousness."

Yuanda was indignant. , said:"Horseback Nail Palm is too far from the point! Even if Yan Feng stole the official silver, how can you, as your own brother, say that he has lost his conscience and poisoned all living beings? Does the 'righteousness' you call mean the annihilation of family ties? For the sake of Sesame Big Official, if you want to kill your relatives for justice, you - you are not betraying your friends to seek glory, but killing your relatives to seek glory! Although I, Yuanda, are poor and humble, I will never kill friends or relatives to seek wealth or honor!"

Yan Yun said His younger brother Yan Feng lost his conscience and poisoned all living beings. Fang Xun was puzzled but felt that there must be a reason.

Yan Yun was so embarrassed by Yuanda's words that she had to tell Yan Feng all about Yan Feng's evil deeds, and repeatedly told Fang Xun and Yuanda to keep their mother Xie secretly secret.

Yuanda said:"Brother Seven! It's Brother Eight who misunderstood you. Are Yan Feng and Brother Seven really born from the same mother? Brother Seven is kind and chivalrous, but Yan Feng is a wolf."

Yan Yun has Yan Feng. Such flesh and blood brothers are ashamed of themselves.

Fang Xun said:"Seventh brother, you don't have to feel guilty. 'If you do evil by God, you can still violate it; if you do evil by yourself, you will not live.' Yan Feng's crime is so heinous that it is his own fault."

Yuanda said:"Yan Feng is a thief! He has a rotten heart, rotten lungs, harms God, and is guilty of a crime that deserves death!" What are you waiting for, eldest brother and seventh brother? Go to Sanqi Prefecture and annihilate the live bird Yan Junbiao (Yan Feng's name) in Wohu Village."

Fang Xun said:"That Yan Feng is different from the bandits. His godfather is San Jin Huarong, the governor of Locust Prefecture, relies on his official position to rely on his power, so he cannot catch him openly but secretly." At

Mao time the next day (05:00), Fang Xun, Yan Yun, and Yuanda dressed up in disguise, each armed with weapons, and selected three fast horses. Riding on a horse and heading straight to Sanluzhou, aWithout stopping, at about three o'clock in the morning, we arrived at the outskirts of Sanwa Prefecture and found an inn to stay overnight. The next day, the three of them had breakfast and headed to Wohu Village under the leadership of Yan Yun. They searched for an hour and couldn't find the path. They asked Daodian Village, but no one knew the location of Wohu Village, so they found another one. After a while, there was still no result, so I returned to the inn to discuss it.

Yuanda said:"No matter how powerful Yan Feng is, Crouching Tiger Village is not just a sweat towel. He can hide it if he wants."

Fang Xun looked at Yan Yun, who was frowning.

Yan Yun felt sorry for himself and said,"It's all my fault that I was stupid and forgot the way out of Crouching Tiger Village, which made my eldest brother and eighth brother tired."

Fang Xun comforted him,"Seventh brother, don't be in a hurry. The Crouching Tiger Village is in Sanwe Prefecture. Are you still afraid that it will fly away?"

Yuanda said:"Brother! I'll wait for a while to rest before looking for it."

Yan Yun said:"Look, the people who have lived there for a long time don't know anything about Crouching Tiger Village, and they don't know anything about me and other foreigners. People are like looking for needles in the sea."

Fang Xun said:"Seventh brother, quietly think about the path to Crouching Tiger Village."

Yan Yun was filled with sorrow and spared no effort to search for memories. There was silence in the guest room. For a moment, Yan Yun beat his chest and feet in a manic manner, complaining to himself:"Oh! It's all my fault! I'm so stupid, so stupid! I can't remember it at all."

Fang Xun said:"Seventh brother, stay calm. If you can't remember it, someone can do it for you. Come to think of it."

Yan Yun said in surprise:"Who? Brother, say it quickly, say it quickly!"

Fang Xun said:"Shang Feiyan."

Yan Yun was overjoyed and said:"Yes! Shang Feiyan. Brother is truly worthy of being an official. Yes, why can't I remember?" Suddenly he remembered something and became depressed, and said:"Look, ask her to lead the way. No! Brother, I - I can't do it."

Fang Xun said:"Seventh brother has always been a chivalrous and righteous man. You have to do your duty, how can you back down when this happens?"

Yan Yun said:"It's not that the seventh brother is shrinking, Shang Feiyan is so surly and capricious, seeing her seventh brother feels like skin is peeling and cramping. Or the eldest brother is looking for her in the name of the yamen, she will not dare to shirk!"

Fang Xun said:"Seventh brother is confused. To arrest Yan Feng in the Yamen of Sanwei Prefecture, we can only go to Chencang secretly. How can we publicize it? How can we call her to help solve the case in the name of the Yamen?"

Yan Yun was upset. After several discussions and planning, Fang Xun, Yan Yun and Yuanda returned to Yulong County temporarily, and then Yan Yun went to Guiyun Village alone to invite Shang Feiyan.

Yan Yun returned to Yunzhuang and met his mother in a hurry. He heard from his mother that Shang Yuanzhong had just returned the day before yesterday. He hurried to Shang Yuanzhong's house, thinking about how to bring Shang Feiyan out and how to ask her to lead the way to Crouching Tiger Village. , came to the Shang Family Hall to meet with Shang Yuanzhong of"Bangfeng Tieguai", Qian Zhuotong of Second Hero"Short-footed Horse Bear", Yan Shuda of Third Hero"Thin Face Lei Jun" Liu Qiniang of Seven Heroes"Lotus Han Girl" A courtesy.

Miao Yanjun, the"fallen scholar" of the Five Knights, killed the bully Ya Nei Yao Yonghe in Zhenzhou City and then rushed straight to the Luohan Temple fifty miles away on the outskirts of the city. Luohan Temple is a secret gathering place for the"Eight Immortals" and a temporary refuge. Master Xuanlu, the abbot of the temple, has a deep friendship with the"Eight Immortals" and hid the Five Heroes of Miao. The"Eight Immortals" have an agreement that as long as a brother is missing within three days, they will go to Luohan Temple to find and discuss countermeasures. Shang Yuanzhong and others left when they saw that the Five Heroes of Miao had not been seen for three days.After meeting at the Han Temple, they discussed where the five Miao heroes should go to avoid being caught by the government. Shang Yuanzhong thought of the"Golden Gun Club"""The"Eight Immortals" and the"Golden Gun Society" have a long history of contact. The"Golden Gun Society" sent people to invite the"Eight Immortals" to join the group many times. Shang Yuanzhong and others have always had their own way and declined politely. Today, Miao Wuxia has nowhere to stay, so he thinks of the"Eight Immortals". The"Golden Spear Club" is a good place. All the knights sent Miao Yanjun, the five knights,"Falling Leaf Scholar", to the Nine-Spin and Eight-Turn Tiger Wolf Giant Tooth Mountain in Dingzhou, the chief helm of the"Golden Spear Club". After lingering for several days, the four knights" Lu Xingde, the"Big Belly Amitabha", Xiao Daiying, the"Dongxiao Langjun" of the Six Heroes, Fan Yuntong, the"Tuiyun Boy" of the Eight Heroes, accompanied Miao Yanjun, the fallen scholar of the Five Heroes, to stay at the"Golden Gun Club""，"Shang Yuanzhong from"Tieguai in the Storm", Qian Zhuotong from"The Short-footed Horse Bear" from the second hero, Yan Shuda from the third hero from"Slim-faced Lei Jun", Liu Qiniang from the seventh hero from"Lotus Han Girl", and the Nine Spins and Eight Spins Tiger Wolf Giant Teeth Shan returned to Guiyun Village.

Yan Yun and"Guangfeng Tieguai" Shang Yuanzhong, the second hero"Squat Horse Bear" Qian Zhuotong, the third hero"Slim Face Lei Jun" Yan Shuda, the seventh hero"Lotus Han Girl" Liu Qiniang told each other about their experiences of being separated for nearly a year, and each had their own secrets. Yan Yun hid the story of Yan Feng's recognition of his thieves as his father and Shang Feiyan's fall into the dust, and asked not to tell Xie about Yan Feng's evil deeds to avoid being sad. Shang Feiyan Yuan Zhong and others joined the Five Heroes"Fallen Scholar" Miao Yanjun and the"Golden Gun Society" and also hid them.

The hero Shang Yuanzhong, the second hero Qian Zhuotong, the third hero Yan Shuda, and the seven heroes Liu Qiniang were against Yan Feng Everything he did was deeply disgusted. Yan Yun told Shang Yuanzhong about asking Shang Feiyan to lead the way to Wohu Village.

Shang Yuanzhong, Qian Zhuotong, Yan Shuda, and Liu Qiniang were angry but still felt pity for Yan Feng. Love, after all, is Yan Bozheng's flesh and blood, and he still has some illusions about Yan Feng's prodigal son turning back.

Shang Yuanzhong said perfunctorily:"It is my duty as the eight heroes to act chivalrously, cut off evil and eradicate evil, and Feiyan should also be allowed to do so. I will lead the way for you and others, but you are now a public servant in the government, and you have the unshirkable responsibility to eat food and serve as errands. But to arrest Yan Feng, a little girl is involved, so you are not afraid of losing the face of the government! Besides, we have nothing to do with the government, not to mention that it is a different furnace than ice charcoal. Yan Dian can do whatever he wants."

Shang Yuanzhong's words were lukewarm.

Yan Yun was very embarrassed, thought for a moment, and said:"Uncle Shang! Yan Yun is not a person who sells his relatives to seek glory. Yan Feng is my flesh and blood brother. I am heartbroken to arrest him and suffer the infamy of being unkind and unjust. However, he has committed evil and has lost his conscience and is stubborn. How many good deeds will destroy families and destroy people if they are brought to justice! Yun'er has been taught by his uncles since he was a child to cut off evil, eradicate rape, eradicate violence, and maintain justice in the world. Yun'er doesn't dare to slack off at all. How can he be a good person if he doesn't eradicate violence? Although the government is said to be dirty and corrupt, Yan Feng and his uncles are pursuing the same goal by different paths in apprehending the villain. Uncle Wang Shang can help and allow Fei Yan to go with him!"The words were sincere.

Shang Yuanzhong, Qian Zhuotong, Yan Shuda, and Liu Qiniang felt ashamed after hearing this. They shunned Yan Feng's evil deeds out of pity for his selfishness.

Shang Yuanzhong, who has been a chivalrous man for half his life Facing the confident words, Yan Yun wanted to refuse but couldn't find an excuse for a while, and said:"Look, Fei Yan is willing to go with you."

Shang YuanzhongYu Song sighed, Yan Yun said goodbye to Shang Yuanzhong and others, and went to Shang Feiyan in the back garden of Shang's house.

Shang Feiyan smiled and swayed on the swing, looking at the autumn waves as she mesmerized and admired her penis. The two flirted and laughed from time to time, and the yard was filled with a loving atmosphere. Yan Yun had been in the courtyard for a long time, but Yang Mao didn't notice. Shang Feiyan seemed to have seen Yan Yun's increasingly delicate and charming expression, and was as tender as water towards Yang Mao. She said delicately:"Cizheng (the word for Yang Mao)! Cizheng, come on, come on and push me, watch the swings swing." You can't get up, come on!" Yang Mao happily jumped onto the swing in three steps and two steps at a time. He hugged Shang Feiyan tightly and started swinging hard. The two of them were in love with each other like glue.

Yan Yun stood there for a long time, feeling embarrassed in his heart. He could neither stay nor leave. He complained in his heart: Brother, why did you ask me to do such an errand that is not embarrassing? If it wasn't for an errand, what are you doing here?
