The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 287

A winding path winds and turns along the steep mountain peaks, climbs up, hides in the mountains and is surrounded by clouds and mists, as if leading directly to the heavenly palace in a fairyland.

Yang Lin led Duan Miaozhen down slowly, such a long road, but Duan Miaozhen thought it would be great if it could never be finished.

Yang Lin got a little impatient, stretched out his hand and said, "Come on, I'll carry you down."

"Then how can it be." Duan Miaozhen shook her head quickly, and said cautiously: "Lin Lang thinks it's slow, I just want to leave quickly."

Yang Lin couldn't help saying, walked down, knelt down and said, "Come up."

Duan Miaozhen wanted to go up very much, but she was afraid of tiring Yang Lin, so in the end she couldn't resist and slowly climbed onto his back.

Yang Lin held his buttocks with both hands and sent them up, and then walked down the mountain quickly, which was much faster.

Duan Miaozhen, who was lying on Yang Lin's back, had her heart beating like a drum, her face was flushed, full of novelty and excitement.

Looking at the generous back of his sweetheart, he slowly pressed his cheeks against Yang Lin's body, feeling very at ease.

Yang Lin came down from the mountain and sent Duan Miaozhen to the carriage. Princess Dali wished her eyes would grow on Yang Lin's body, and she was not willing to move away for a moment.

Being so admired by such a beauty, Yang Lin's heart was full of tenderness, and he said with a smile: "After you go back, tell Prince Duan that this will be Duan's family temple from now on."

Duan Miaozhen nodded lightly, gentle and well-behaved, Yang Lin couldn't help but touch her cheek, then helped her close the car curtain, and asked the groom to urge the horse to set off.

The Yao family is the general of the Western Army, and Yao Gu is the general of Qin Long.

Looking at the entire Song Dynasty, it is said that the Western Army is the best at fighting, but the death of Yao Gu's son did not cause any disturbance.

The lords of the Great Song Dynasty took the illegitimate son of a military general seriously, and the Ministry of Punishment just scolded the officials of the Kaifeng government office as usual and asked them to solve the case quickly.

After the carriage had gone a few steps, Lu Qian came over quickly, frowning slightly, with a serious look on his face.

After Lu Qian came over, he whispered in Yang Lin's ear, "Sir, something happened."

"what's up?"

Yang Lin has experienced many things, and he has a little calmness, but it's just soldiers coming to stop him.

"Yao Shu was killed."

Yang Lin raised his head slightly, looked at him sideways, and after a moment of silence, his eyelids rolled, and he lowered his head and asked, "When did it happen, did the murderer get caught?"

"Last night, Yao Shu was in a hurry to return to Beijing to meet his brother, so he drove all night, and was ambushed to death on the official road on the outskirts of Bianliang.

It was also because he was in a hurry to return to the capital, so he didn't bring all the members of the Yao family's caravan with him, but only brought four followers, all of whom had their throats cut to death. "

Yao Shu had never been an important figure in the Western Army's system. This slightly dull young man seemed a bit honest and honest among the disciples of the Western Army's generals around him.

Yang Lin also had a good impression of him, and he couldn't think of the reason why he was killed for a while.

"Go and have a look."

A concubine died in the Yao family, but the reaction of the other general families was surprisingly strong.

Zhe Yanwen, Zhong Chongsui, and Yang Ceqing all arrived at the first time, and sat in the hall with solemn expressions, without saying a word.

Madam Yao's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and Yao Pingyi comforted her.

Yao Pingzhong stared, his face darkened, his fists were clenched in his sleeves, and he squeezed loudly from time to time.

After Yang Lin came in, everyone got up together. Yang Lin first comforted Mrs. Yao. Although he was not related to her by blood, he was her nephew after all. People in this era have a strong sense of relatives.

He glanced around, Yao Ping Zhongneng was in charge in the hall, walked over and asked: "Xiyan, if you have any clues, please tell me."

"The clerk of the Kaifeng government office said that it happened at midnight last night, and the money was stolen afterwards, but the students felt that this was a way for the thieves to cover up their original purpose."

Yang Lin said in a deep voice, "What's the reason?"

"Assault on this official road is very dangerous, if it is for small money, it is better to go to the wild forest farther away.

The student asked Tolerance last night that there had never been a murder in Bianliang for so many years.

The second brother didn't have much luggage and he was galloping fast. If he wanted to grab some money, he wouldn't pick this kind of trick. "

Although Yao Pingzhong's tone was filled with hatred, his analysis was still methodical, and Yang Lin nodded secretly.

He turned his head and saw that another student, Yao Pingyi, only cared about comforting his mother, he didn't seem to have any expression of grief, not even as sad as Mrs. Yao, he seemed a bit cold.

Compared with his brother, this handsome young apprentice is far different.

Zhong, Yao, Zhe, and Yang, the four generals of the Western Army, are now gathered together, and everyone is looking at Yang Lin.

Zhe Yanwen got up and said: "Young Zai, someone has been sent to inform Uncle Yao about this matter. Could it be someone in the court who wants to punish us?"

Yang Lin raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Shut up."

A few people around hurriedly tugged Zhe Yanwen, and he sat down with squinted eyes. Yang Lin turned around and said, "Before the matter is clarified, don't make wild guesses. If someone takes advantage of it, no one can bear the responsibility."

It was an open secret that the Western Army and the imperial court were at odds with each other. At the beginning of Huizong's accession to the throne, when the Northwest War was in full swing, the imperial court began to reduce the Western Army's food and payment.

These Qin Long soldiers who fought desperately with the party members all relied on the generals to buy food from Bianliang with their own money.

In the end, he didn't even give a single grain of rice for three years, which was the most critical time for Faxia.

As early as in the Northern Song Dynasty's five-way war against Xia, countless soldiers of the Western Army starved to death under the capital of Xixia, and the promised food and grass never arrived.

How could the imperial court be able to win over those fighters from the Western Army, and gradually the Western Army was not very obedient.

The imperial court originally sent Tong Guan to subdue these arrogant soldiers, but who knew that he directly starved to death one hundred thousand Qin Longmin husbands.

The soldiers on the front line threw their heads and blood to fight the capital of Xixia, but they didn't know that their father and brother's food was seized and starved to death on the road.

If Yang Lin hadn't arrived in time, he had paid them three years' rations, killed Tong Guan's food supervisor, and saved a sliver of people's hearts.The Western Army will be completely disappointed with the imperial court just like the history of later generations, and it will be difficult to control from then on.

Historically, when the Western Army reached the alliance between Song and Jin, they had no intention of fighting in Hebei, far away from their hometown, and were even defeated by the Liao army of Yelu Dashi.

It also became the last straw that crushed Da Song's dignity, making Da Song lose the opportunity to take back You Yan, and also made the Jurchen Tartars think about going south.

At that time, the Khitan people were killed by the Jin people like a frightened bird. Could the Western Army really be unable to defeat these remnants and defeated generals?

In fact, the Western Army, who had no fighting spirit at the time, did not want to serve Da Song and Tong Guan at all.

Now that Yao Shu was killed, Zhe Yanwen's words made Yang Lin alert.

In any case, this murder case cannot become the fuse for the Western Army to embark on the above-mentioned path.
