The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 340

In other words, according to what Zhu Dian said, He Tao chased to the edge of Liangshan Po. When he looked around, all he could see was the lush reeds except for the wide water surface. There was no one like Chao Gai and the others.

He Tao felt cold, worried that he was chasing in the wrong direction, so he couldn't help praying secretly, hoping that the other team could catch the thief.At this moment, Yu Hou, who was walking beside him, pointed to the reeds ahead and said, "Look there!"

But when he saw a big boat protruding from the reeds, He Tao immediately suspected that it was a boat to pick up Chao Gai and others, maybe those people were on board.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, He Tao ordered his people to shout loudly to order the ship to dock for inspection. Unexpectedly, the sailors on the ship actually came to the shore after hearing this.

He Tao was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered his men to be on guard. As soon as the boat pulled over, who would have thought that before He Tao and the others could make a move, dozens of healthy soldiers rushed out of the cabin, all of them waiting with their bows open.

"This..." He Tao and his entourage were startled by the sudden accident, and they all froze in place, at a loss for what to do, when a man of thirty or so names appeared on the ship's side, and the big man asked, "Where are you from the official post? trouble?"

"This friend is invited. The villain is He Tao, the envoy arrested in the three capitals of Jeju. These two are Yu Hou of the Daming Mansion. We are not causing trouble for no reason, but chasing the thieves who robbed the birthday card. ..."

Before He Tao finished speaking, the big man interrupted him with a sneer, "Don't say that I have never seen the thief you are talking about, even if I have, I would not hand it over to you guys, brothers, right? "

"Correct."

"good."

"Boss Ruan said it well!"

There were applause on the boat one after another, this big guy surnamed Ruan was undoubtedly Ruan Xiaoer, he got a summons and learned that the army was about to leave, so he took people to the shore first.

Unexpectedly, on the way, he heard an official on the shore asking him to come to the shore for inspection. Ruan Xiaoer came to check the situation on a sudden whim. After all, he had never seen him since he went up the mountain.

After listening to those people's explanation now, how could Ruan Xiaoer take it to heart?You must know that when he was fishing in Shijie Village before he fell into grass, he was often oppressed by those corrupt officials.Therefore, when he saw these people now, he felt displeased and planned to make fun of them before leaving.

"If you offended my uncle this time, if you don't teach me a lesson, won't the world look down on me as a Liangshan hero?" Ruan Xiaoer sneered, and then shouted,
"Leave the weapons and horses. Seeing that the uncle is in a good mood, get out of here as soon as possible. If you dare to come here in the future, be careful of your dog heads."

Right now, people serve as knives and I serve as fish and meat. He Tao knows how to deal with current affairs, so he immediately and reluctantly ordered dozens of officials to do so.

Unexpectedly, a Marquis of Yu sent by Liang Zhongshu had never heard of Liangshanbo’s prestige because he had been in the Daming Mansion for a long time. Bullied people."

Standing in the downwind place, Ruan Xiaoer heard the words with great sincerity, and thought in his heart, "I kindly let you wait, but I didn't appreciate it, and dare to call me a thief?" Immediately, he ordered the ship to be lowered. , pointing to the leader He Tao and the two Marquis Yu, said,

"Since you don't appreciate it, then leave some things before leaving. Come, someone, and I will cut off the ears of the three of them and throw them into the water to feed the fish!"

When He Tao spoke to Yu Hou beside him, he secretly called "It's broken!", no matter what happened, he kept begging for forgiveness, but Ruan Xiaoer was not willing to listen, so he still had the three people's ears cut off , and confiscated their weapons before sailing away.

So when Zhu Dian joined Lei Heng and found He Tao and his party, they saw that they were sad and panicked. The three leaders at the head were all missing ears. The two were shocked and asked the reason. .

The two of Zhu Dian laughed secretly in their hearts, pretended to comfort him a few words on their faces, and then told He Tao that Chao Gai had not been chased.When He Tao heard this, he couldn't help getting angry when he thought that not only the bamboo basket fetching water was useless, but he got away from Chao Gai and lost a pair of ears, and began to suspect that Song Jiang and others were secretly collaborating with thieves.

When he returned to the Yuncheng county government office, He Tao asked Shi Wenbin, the county magistrate, to give the nearby prefectures and counties Chao Gai their sea arrest documents, and at the same time expressed his doubts, but at that time Wenbin and Song Jiang had a good friendship, and they were also scholars He didn't care about the opinion of He Tao, a thief, to join the army at all, and sent him away with only a few words.

He Tao returned to Jeju helplessly. After meeting the governor, in order to escape his own responsibility for catching the thief, he talked nonsense, saying that Chao Gai and his gang were hidden by Liang Shanbo, and even added embellishments to hijack the birthday party. In the case of Gang, maybe the Liangshan Po thieves also participated in this.

The Fu Yin had also heard about Liang Shanbo in the past, but he always adhered to the attitude that more things are worse than less things, and he was out of sight and out of mind for the strong man entrenched under his nose.After all, if it is reported to the court and the court knows that there are villains under his rule, how can he get promoted and get rich?

Unexpectedly, when such a thing happened now, the governor of Jeju had no choice but to bite the bullet, gave Cai Jing a generous gift, and followed the same pattern, pushing the hijacking of the birthday outline to Liangshan's gang, which led to a massacre among the officials and the army. The matter of beating Liangshanbo, of course, is a later story and will not be mentioned for the time being.

Mu Xu didn't know what happened to Ruan Xiaoer, so naturally he didn't know about Wu Yong's plan.After he returned to Liangshanbo, he had just settled the new arrivals of more than [-] people, and was about to go back to the backyard to meet Li Shishi's second daughter, and introduced Hu Sanniang to them by the way, when Shi Qian led a dwarf in.

The dwarf was no more than five feet tall, with a ferocious face and wrinkled skin. When Mu Xu saw it, he immediately thought of someone. Sure enough, after Shi Qian recommended that person, he knelt down to Mu Xu and begged,

"I also ask the village master to be merciful and save my brother. The Wuda side kowtows to you!"

Mu Xu asked Shi Qian to help Wu Dalang up, and asked him to sit down, and then said, "Since Erlang's elder brother is also my family, it's okay to speak up, but what happened to Erlang?"

Wu Dalang told the story while wiping away his tears.

It is said that although Wu Song returned to his hometown nearly a year earlier because of his acquaintance with Mu Xu, he still acted like the original book, killing a tiger in Jingyanggang, and then became the capital in Yanggu County.

Then the two brothers reunited and lived comfortably. After more than two months like this, Wu Song suddenly proposed to move to the county government office one day. A little uncomfortable, so I didn't take it seriously.

Until a while later, Wu Song was about to go out on business, and before leaving, he specifically told Wu University to leave late every day and return early, and keep the door at home, and wait for him to come back to discuss anything.

Wu Da didn't suspect him, and thought it was his brother who was afraid that he would be bullied, so he did what he said.Then, at the instigation of Brother Yun, he caught Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian's adultery, and was kicked in the chest by Ximen Qing, so that he fell ill in bed.

Originally, according to the development of the matter, it should be Pan Jinlian poisoning Wu Dalang, but because Mu Xu knew about this episode in advance, he had already arranged for spies to pay attention to this matter, so Wu Dalang's life was saved logically, and he brought Wu Dalang with him. He hid in the countryside and escaped Ximen Qing's persecution.

When Wu Song came back, the spies took Wu Da to see Wu Song. When he told the matter, Wu Song was furious immediately, but he still had hope for the government, so he asked someone to write a pleading paper, and put Ximen Qing, Pan Jinlian, and the king together. The mother-in-law sued the Yamen together.

But the reality gave Wu Song a slap in the face. Although the county magistrate of Yanggu had praised Wu Song, he had a connection with Na Ximen Qing in private. How could he accept the case? He took the case as the reason of insufficient evidence and brought the case to court. Refuse, refuse to accept.

Wu Song is jealous of evil, and the person who was almost killed this time is also the elder brother of a direct relative, how could he give up so easily!Immediately, a private court was set up, and the truth was obtained from Wang Po and the others. After they signed and adjourned, Pan Jinlian was beheaded with a sword, and Ximen Qing was killed in a fight, and then he went to the Yamen to surrender.

When the magistrate encountered such a serious case, he didn't dare to deal with it by himself, so he sent the case to Dongping Mansion, which governs Yanggu County.It was also Wu Song's luck. Chen Wenzhao, governor of Dongping Prefecture, was a good man. He pitied Wu Song for being a kind and righteous man, so he changed the case file several times, recording Wu Song's initiative to kill someone as a last resort, and finally sentenced him to a cane At forty, he was sent to Mengzhou Prison two thousand miles away.
