The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 479

A thin, white-faced scholar poked his head out from the car curtain, looked around the streets of Chang'an, and said excitedly: "Look at them, they are talking about us. They must be moved by our pride in traveling thousands of miles and serving our country. Express it there." Admiration and admiration."

In front of him, there was a slightly older man with a crown and scarf, and a smile between his eyebrows and eyes, but he still said in a deep voice: "Be careful, the more people praise you, the more humble you should be as a scholar." After finishing speaking, Nodding with a smile.

The old men suddenly lost interest, cursed and lowered their heads to play chess.

Next to them, a young man dressed as a yamen, waving a fan and listening for a long time.

Seeing them starting to play chess, he stepped forward, followed by a few burly men, and at a glance, he knew that it was the son of a rich family who came out to play.

In Jingzhao Mansion, there are quite a few generals like this in the yamen, but today's one is not a general's son, but Yang Lin, the young master of the dynasty.

Yang Lin put up his fan to cover his mouth, and said to Lu Wang behind him: "The common people are full of prejudice against these scholars, and they don't praise them, and even add bad words. If things go on like this, if they are heard by scholars, won't they be ashamed?" Come again."

"The villagers are ignorant. It's always been like this. It's nothing unusual." Lu Wang said with a smile.

Yang Lin put away the fan, stuck it behind his back, and waved his hand like a fool in the yamen, "No, it's always been like this, which means it's always been wrong, how can we know the mistakes and not correct them."

He originally planned to steal half a day of leisure and come out to feel the taste of bullying men and women in the yamen, but who knew that he really came to the street, so he was embarrassed to do it.

The young woman who is as beautiful as a flower must be a newlywed, and her husband loves and pity her like a treasure. If she goes up and talks a few words and spreads the girl's reputation, won't it affect the happiness of other people's life;

The delicate girl may have promised to her husband's family. If she is cheap and molested her, it will be bad if she accidentally ruins a happy marriage.

From this point of view, bullying men and women is really a hard job, and one must have a strong heart to be able to do this job.

Unintentionally, although I didn't take it as a villain, I heard the prejudice and slander of the Northwest folks against the scholars who came here at the call.

Yang Lin went directly to the government office of Jingzhao Mansion, but the gentleman at the door didn't recognize him, Lu Wang stepped forward and whispered something in his ear, the little yamen servant immediately changed his expression, and hurried inside.

The rest respectfully invited them to the lobby, and after a while, almost all the officials from Jingzhao Mansion came.

"The lower official has seen Shao Zai."

The magistrate of Jingzhao Prefecture is young, with a fair complexion, he seems to be a Jinshi from a professional class.

Seeing Yang Lin, he didn't overdo it for a moment, and stepped forward with a smile, "I don't know if Shao Zai is coming, but I'm far away to welcome you."

"It's okay, I'm here this time because I have something to discuss with you."

This is a novelty, the person in front of him is in the rumors, Gan Gang is assertive, he can't listen to other people's opinions, why did he take the initiative to discuss it, I don't know what made him change his temperament drastically.

Yang Lin frowned slightly, sighed, and said aside what he heard on the street today.

The officials of the Jingzhao Mansion all looked distressed, trying to change the deep-rooted views of the people and make the people proud of the scholar's aid to Yunnei. For a while, they really didn't know how to start.

Yang Lin had some immature ideas in his mind, but he wanted to brainstorm more ideas and hear from these local officials if there was a better way.

While discussing here, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and a man broke in, his face was a little pale, and his voice was even more irritable: "Fu Zun, something is wrong."

Liu Zhifu's face was pale, this Wang catcher was the most accidental, why was he so rude today, but he was still in front of Shao Zai.

"My lord, a group of scholars traveled to Jinji Gorge in Naganliu County, where they were captured by the local villagers and used to sacrifice to ghosts."

Killing and sacrificing ghosts often occurs in places where gunpowder smoke is frequent, Yang Lin has also heard of it.

Hearing these words, my heart ached to the point of explosion. These idiot scholars, they all responded to my call, and they would encounter such a catastrophe.

People are used to sacrifice ghosts, or villagers buy people to sacrifice with money, or capture passers-by to sacrifice.Every child and woman plucks eyes and eyes, cuts off ears and noses, buries them in traps, and boils soup to rot the skin, which is beyond reach.

These words are creepy to read, but they are real things that happened frequently in the Song Dynasty.

In addition to the primitive witchcraft and human sacrifice, the commodity economy in the Song Dynasty was developed, and people's speculative psychology was enhanced, hoping to get rich through blood sacrifices to evil gods.Wutong God is an important god of wealth in the Song Dynasty, but it is also regarded as a one-horned mandrill, "it is called the one-horned Wutong, and it is also a kind of mandrill." At that time, Wutong God was also considered to be a human sacrifice.

Volume 34 of Taiping Guangji, in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a puppet living in the house of Wutong God, which was recognized by Kaifeng people, and it was read by the door of the second room.There are many women and babies nailed to the four walls of a room; there are countless prisoners in a room, who are tortured and howled.

After all, there is a cult at work.After patting the table, Yang Lin stood up and said, "It's tolerable, which one is unbearable!"

There is a dangerous and narrow gorge called Jinji Gorge in the northwest of Ganliu County. It is sandwiched between two confronting peaks. angry.

As the warm sun shines, the perennially cold and gloomy mountain gorge is coated with a layer of gentle gold, and the whole valley suddenly brightens.

If you look down from the air, you will be surprised to find that there are many people in Jinji Gorge, which was originally rare.

There were hundreds of them, and Wang Jingang lazily turned over. The midday sun was shining on his body warmly, causing some parts of his body to react.

He stretched out his hand to grab the crotch, muttered a few curses, and suddenly opened his eyes.

"There is a brigade of horseshoes!"

In front of him, a big man with an unshaven beard and a carp jumped up, and shouted anxiously to the left and right with the waist knife beside him: "The officers and soldiers are here?"

Beside them, several corpses were bloody, and blood-stained clothes floated everywhere.

Wang Jingang sneered, and said: "It seems that someone slipped through the net, or someone reported it, this place can't stay anymore, let's move out!"

"Alas. It's a pity that the foolish men and women in this village were just coaxed into the religion by us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him quickly disappeared into the dense forest, leaving only some stumps and broken arms.

Chapter 543 Chiyangzi is also considered a powerful character among gods

Looking at the unsightly corpse, Yang Lin's face turned livid, and his heart felt a piercing pain.

These young scholars have traveled thousands of miles to come here after listening to their own words.

I never thought that after such a disaster, wouldn't it be like the sky collapsed at home.

A few short soldiers beside him were sweating profusely and did not dare to raise their heads.

They are the soldiers sent by the Chengdu government in Sichuan and Shu provinces, and they are here to escort these scholars. Now that this happened, they can hardly be blamed.

The leader was the training envoy of the Chengdu Mansion, who bravely came out and said, "Young Zai, when they arrived in Chang'an, they insisted on going out for a long time to play. These scholar children, we won't listen to him."

Yang Lin nodded and said, "Have you caught up with the culprit?"

Liu Zhifu said: "Master, I caught a group of villagers. They were the ones who did it, but the main culprit escaped. These villains in the countryside are ignorant, and they are most likely to be deceived by traitors."

"Killing people to pay for their lives is a matter of course. In the past when Gaozu entered the pass, he knew that he had three chapters with his elders in Qin. This is the first one." Yang Lin heard Liu Zhifu's words, and he meant to defend the foolish people, and said coldly: "Evil heretics , It will cause endless harm, if one is found, one will be killed, otherwise it will be spread to ten to ten, when will it be eradicated."

Every time he leaves Bianliang, Yang Lin can find that under the surface of the Song Dynasty cooking oil and flowers, the place is actually very backward.

The power of the whole country to support Bianliang has made the local people a little poor. As a result, all kinds of unimaginable things have emerged.

Today's evil cult is definitely not the only one, Yang Lin covered his mouth and said: "Go to the village to see."

The terrain of Jinji Gorge is dangerous, full of saline-alkali land, and it is steep and difficult to walk.

Most of the villagers made their living from hunting in the mountains. A dozen or so ragged-clothed and sullen-looking villagers, both men and women, lined up and were escorted by the officials of Jingzhao Mansion.
