Early the next morning, Su Jin went to the academy to resign, and the news that Su Jin was going to leave the academy and go to Beijing had already spread in the academy, but the reason given by Su Jin and the professors of the academy was that the emperor summoned Su Jin to inquire about Taizu's dream, and this reason was also appropriate, after all, there was such a big thing, and the emperor could not have any expression.

The academy was closed for half a day, bidding farewell to Su Jin, Qi Shunbin and Fang Zimo took the students to the ten-mile long pavilion outside the West Gate.

Bao Zheng also brought a cadre from the government to bid farewell to Yan Shufu Bi and others, and compared with the two people, there were several times more people on Su Jin's side than those who sent the three envoys, and they didn't feel it; This kid's popularity is really good, and he seems to be at ease in the academy.

After three cups of parting wine, Fang Zimo stepped forward and handed Su Jin a small cloth package, patted Su Jin's shoulder and said: "The old man has been a professor for thirty years, and he has met many students like a carp crossing the river, and characters like you are rare. ”

Su Jin turned over and bowed down to take the package with both hands, and when he touched it, it was indeed a stack of manuscripts.

"The old decay has another word to say, I hope you can learn from one or two."

"Teacher, please advise."

"It doesn't hurt to be sleek and exquisite, but if you are an official and a learner, you must be honest, and you must not be impetuous, just like copying "Xueer" 500 times that day, do you think the old man can't see that it is not your handwriting? Be cautious. ”

Su Jin's face was full of shame, and he even claimed to say: "Remember the teacher's teachings, and the students always keep them in mind." ”

Fang Zimo nodded and said, "I don't ask you to keep it in mind all the time, but self-cultivation is everywhere, so let's do it for yourself." ”

Fang Zimo patted Su Jin on the shoulder, sighed and turned back, Su Jin looked at his emaciated back, walking alone, sighing in his heart, this Fang Zimo seems to be a mystery, and he hasn't been able to touch him for months.

When he was in a daze, his arm was pulled, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Wu Hengxin, who had red circles under his eyes, and said with a big nose in general: "Sixth, you are gone, who will I mess with in the future." ”

Su Jinyin smiled and said: "I'm not dead, I'll come back next spring, we still have to bow together, and we will raise together in the autumn; Besides, several brothers and brothers are here, and I envy you, I'm alone, but I'm bored. ”

Wu Heng said happily: "Will you come back next spring?" That's good. ”

Su Jin raised his head and counted the days and said: "In March or April after the year, I should be able to come back by then, unless the emperor leaves me in the capital to be a prime minister, otherwise I will definitely come back." ”

Yan Shu, Bao Zheng and others rolled their eyes, this guy thinks beautifully, he is the prime minister, these people have not mixed into the two mansions until they are fifty or sixty years old, are they jelly beans when they are prime ministers? Give one to whomever you want.

Su Jin turned to Wang Anshi, Wei Songhe, Lu Dakui, Cheng Liangmu and others to say goodbye one by one, opened the road and shouted at the guards, and the convoy moved sparklingly, slowly westward, and went straight to Bianliang along the mud and stone official road.

Su Jin turned around on horseback and looked back, waved his hand again and again, only to hear Wang Anshi's voice in the autumn wind, and chanted:

I can't be satisfied when I go home, and I have nothing to do when I go out.

Alone in the corner of the city, send your son to travel far away.

The barren forest is entangled in the sad wind, and the camel fur is blown miserably.

Laughing and laughing, looking at the river boat.

Everyone is happy, and we are worried.

The stomach and intestines surround Zhong Mountain, and the shape of the remains is empty.

Reading poetry and books at the beginning is not also a request.

As soon as I came to wrap in a green shirt, I regretted it.

It is not enough to help the time, but it is ashamed of the deceased.

The son is going to Kyoto today, and the car will rest in Bianzhou.

Send a message to Jinghuake, don't forget the old friends.

……

The straight-line distance from Yingtianfu to the capital is actually not far, and the distance from later generations is calculated, and the straight-line distance of the sky is only 400 miles, but this is in the Song Dynasty, if it is a convenient way from Ningling to Bianliang City through Minquan through Qixian County, and the road is not much worse.

It's a pity that this generation of mountain roads is vertical and horizontal, as well as saline-alkali wind and sand, and the road has to pass through a large area where the Hui people gather, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, although these areas have long been included in the jurisdiction, but in terms of living habits and psychological cognition, the Han people always have a trace of contempt and awe for these Hui.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the construction of the official road deliberately avoided the above-mentioned areas, the limitation of manpower and material resources determined that the official road could not take a straight line in the mountains, and the psychological sense of rejection avoided returning to the gathering place, so that the official road could have been a straight line, but now it has become a winding Beidou shape, and the distance between the two places has doubled sharply, expanding to nearly a thousand miles away.

Yan Shu and the others' team was slow to reach the speed, Su Jin was drowsy on the horse, seeing that at this speed, it was already a miracle that he could walk seventy or eighty miles in a day, and this nearly thousand miles of travel would take more than ten days to arrive.

Several subordinates of the Su family are very excited, Xiao Sui'er and Huanniang are women, according to common sense, it is not surprising that they will be old in Luzhou for the rest of their lives, and now they have followed their own sons not only to accompany Duying Tianfu, but also to go to the prosperous Bianliang City like a dream, how can this excitement not make them ecstatic; The two lifted the curtain and pointed to the scenery along the way, whispering, and their mouths never closed.

The four major foodies of the dynasty, Ma Han, Zhao Hu, and Zhang Long have seen some of the world, but it is the first time that the capital has gone back, and for the first time in his life, he has been assigned a horse to ride.

The most bitter thing is the little pillar, still driving the little green mule cart, sparsely following the team to eat ashes, and from time to time to the four major foodies cast jealous glances.

Su Jin was dizzy and listless, and Fu Bi, who was riding side by side with him, saw his boredom and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, are you very depressed?" ”

Su Jin opened his mouth and said, "It's okay, the autumn sun is warm, the mountains and rivers are magnificent, it's quite interesting." ”

Fu Bi saw that he was insincere, and said with a smile: "Over time, you will get used to it, we have been on the road for most of the time when we are in the court, and we can't stand such loneliness, so don't mention anything." ”

Su Jin looked at the stone road with potholes and uneven ruts that were knee-deep and said: This is an official road, fortunately, in addition to two legs, it is four legs, or two wheels, even if you bring a Rolls-Royce by yourself, I am afraid that it can only be used as a decoration, and it is difficult to move an inch on such a road; No wonder Fu Bi said that most of the time is spent on the road, and it is strange that such a road can be fast.

Fu Bi saw that Su Jin didn't speak, and teased him: "What's wrong?" Thinking about it? Speak up and listen. ”

Su Jin was stimulated by him, and suddenly remembered something, so he asked softly: "I heard Lord Yan say that day, that Yin Tangjie was killed by a strongman on the road?" Is there such a thing? ”

Fu Bi looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Indeed, at the Niutouyi thirty miles away from here, the dozen or so soldiers who escorted it were all killed. ”

Su Jin frowned and said, "Then how many people should be involved to kill more than a dozen people in one fell swoop, who did it, are there any clues to follow?" ”

Fu Bi said: "All the horses and belongings were robbed, and only a dozen naked corpses remained, which seemed to be a robbery, and it must have been done by the nearby strongmen." ”

Su Jin was surprised: "There are strongmen near the official road? ”

Fu Bi said: "This is the crux of the problem, this area is very peaceful, and there are soldiers guarding the state capital along the official road, and these strongmen don't know where they came from, this thing is very suspicious." ”

Su Jin rolled his eyes and said, "Do you still need to ask?" Of course, someone took the name of a bandit, and the purpose was to kill Tang Jie. ”

Fu Bi smiled and said: "I know that I can't hide it from you, but don't make a public announcement about it, the adult said it, just say that it was a strongman who robbed money and killed someone." ”

Su Jin understood after thinking about it for a while, pretending to be confused might be able to confuse Zhao Zongdan, needless to say that it was to cooperate with Bao Zheng's next move, as for what action, it is unknown; Su Jin figured out that it was nothing more than to control the situation in Ying Tianfu first, trap King Teng, and then find out where the bandits' nests were, exterminate these bandits, and then turn back to clean up Zhao Zongdan.

Now it is easy to take Zhao Zongdan, but if you take him without direct evidence, the saint will definitely not be satisfied, the emperor is probably trying to kill him and not let the world speak, so there must be ironclad evidence, the confession of the bandit leader captured after the destruction of the bandit's nest will be the noose around Zhao Zongdan's neck, Tang Jie is dead, these evidences are even more important.

Su Jin once thought that if he killed Zhao Zongdan with one sword, he would also have a plan to blame the bandits, but he soon denied his idea, which was the stupidest way; Not to mention whether it is credible that Zhao Zongdan, the dignified prince of Teng, was slaughtered by robbers, that is, everyone believes it, as soon as Zhao Zongdan dies, no one suppresses the private soldiers and bandits he raised, and he will definitely make chaos everywhere, when the northwest is in confrontation, and the family is in rebellion, the situation will be a mess, where are so many soldiers transferred to quell the rebellion, and the quelling of the rebellion will inevitably be a misery in all directions, which is obviously the next strategy.

"Brother Xian, cheer up, rush to the front post station before sunset, someone can wait for you." Fu Bi laughed.

Su Jin was shocked: "Who?" ”

"Who else? Did you see her off today? It's early, and we're waiting for us at the post station in front. ”

Su Jin was shocked: "This ...... This road is just out of bandits, isn't this a risk? It's amazing. Then he whipped the horse and galloped forward.

Seeing this, Fu Bi hurriedly beckoned and shouted: "Don't worry, don't worry, listen to me, I haven't finished talking yet." ”
