Yi Song

Chapter 84: Bad drums, bad people, bad yamen

Liu Guozhang rode up to the six people and startled them.

The four guards were trembling with fear. After seeing clearly, the two people in chains were surprised and happy.

At this time, Wang Yan and Chen Guang were completely different from when they broke up two months ago.

Her long hair was as messy as a straw nest, she was dark and thin, and she was wearing only a single coat in the cold wind, making her shivering from the cold.

There were scabs all over his body and face, and he was walking with a limp.

"Erlang!" the two shouted with tears in their eyes.

"Brothers, please be patient!" Liu Guozhang said with tears in his eyes.

The four dispatchers saw that although Liu Guozhang was riding a horse, his expression and speech were still polite, and he did not look like he was going to rob someone.

You look at me, I look at you. One of the leaders had the courage to shout: "Who is it? Dare to block the way! If you dare to rob a prisoner in broad daylight, are you not afraid of the king's law?"

"My Excellency, Liu Erlang," Liu Guozhang said politely, holding his hands on his horse.

"I made a name for myself in Kaifeng City. Yang Jian's nephew, along with seven or eight followers, were beaten to death by me on the street; the leader of the Wuyou Gang offended me, and the whole family was reunited on Huangquan Road; two military patrols And the judge, who provoked me, was punished by me in the street, and now he is still hanging on the city gate in public.

Cai Laowu of Taishi Cai's family and I were involved in a life-and-death situation in Yujin Garden. I killed fifty or sixty of Taiwei Tong's bodyguards at home and the heroic cavalry of the Victory Army; the famous Heshuo Sword King of Baima Village, and I killed all the more than a hundred bullshit Hebei warriors under him; the Thousand-legged Centipede who dug graves in Luoyang Mang Mountain to make money, together with his Cuiniao Mangshan Gang, were fed to tigers, wolves, lions and leopards by me. "

After Liu Guozhang gave a very simple self-introduction, he grinned, showing his white teeth, and asked with a smile: "I wonder if my fame has spread to Daming Mansion? Do you recognize me? What I have done is insignificant. Regarding the matter, I wonder if I am qualified to block the road and rob prisoners? Tell me, am I afraid of the king's law? "

The four guards were so frightened that they were covered in chaff. The leader asked with chattering teeth: "Is your grandfather Liu Erlang?"

"Exactly!"

"Killing people in Yujin Garden is like mowing grass. Liu Erlang, the King of Heshuo Swordsman and more than a hundred warriors, can't defeat him with a single move?"

"Exactly!"

Poof, all four of them knelt on the ground, kowtowing desperately.

"Grandpa, have mercy on me! Grandpa Erlang, have mercy on me!"

Liu Guozhang picked up a plain wood gun and his face turned cold, "Since you know that grandpa kills people like mowing grass, why don't you quickly release the shackles of my two brothers!"

The four of them hurriedly untied their shackles and knelt down again.

"You, and you, are so fat, you must be able to withstand the cold, so you gave my two brothers jackets and coats to wear. You two, take off your boots and socks for my brothers to wear."

"Yes, yes!" The four of them hurriedly followed the instructions.

"Originally, I should have rushed up and shot you one by one, stabbed you to death, and rescued my two brothers. Then I would have dug a hole for your bodies and buried them, and sent your two brothers away quietly. By then, no one would have known that I was the one who robbed you. Man, I will still go back to Kaifeng City and be happy."

The four people hurriedly stopped their movements and knelt on the ground, kowtowing desperately, until their foreheads bled.

"Good man, Grandpa, the younger one has the older one, and the younger one has the younger one below. Please let the younger one go."

Liu Guozhang smiled faintly: "But this is a trap specially set for me by others. Whether or not I kill you is the same thing. So, your life is on the line. Take off your clothes and shoes quickly and give them to my two brothers." .”

"Yes Yes!"

Liu Guozhang got off his horse, grabbed Wang Yan and Chen Guang and said, "Brothers, Erlang is late."

"Erlang, why are you doing this!"

"Yes, you managed to find a way out with great difficulty, why would you ruin it for us?"

"Brothers, there are many roads in this world. If this one doesn't work, let's find another one. But if my brother is gone, he is gone."

"Erlang! Erlang! It's us who are dragging you down!" Wang Yan and Chen Guang hugged Liu Guozhang and cried loudly.

After the three of them cried bitterly, Liu Guozhang said to them: "Brothers, this is not the place to talk. Please wait for me for a moment."

Liu Guozhang stood up, walked to the four guards, and said loudly: "Go to the prison yourself, and then tell the prison guard that Liu Erlang from Kaifeng City robbed Wang Yan and Chen Guang. Leave quickly!"

The four guards crawled forward dozens of steps, then got up and ran as fast as they could.

Liu Guozhang blew his whistle, and a mule cart came quickly.

"This Mr. Xu is the father-in-law of my brother Fu Qilang. He is alone and is willing to send his two brothers to Chenliu."

Mr. Xu, with gray hair and wrinkles on his face, smiled at Wang Yan and Chen Guang. Wang Yan and Chen Guang raised their hands to Mr. Xu, said hello, and then asked impatiently: "Why go to Chenliu?"

"Get in the car first and we'll talk as we walk."

Liu Guozhang helped the two of them onto the mule cart. Mr. Xu sat down in front, flicked his whip, and the mule pulled the cart and started moving.

Liu Guozhang got on his horse, rode beside him, and continued.

"I called Yue Fei back to Tangyin, and there was a letter hidden in the gift I brought to his family. He knew what to do after reading the letter. I asked Zhang Meng to escort my eldest brother's coffin to Yingtian Mansion. But I went with Shunjie Transportation The captain of the social escort has told you that he will wait for you in Nanjing.

Mr. Xu will send you to Chenliu, hire a speedboat, and go straight to Nanjing to meet up with Big Eyes and wait for news in Daming Temple. Big eyes are not as careful as Brother Fei, so you have to take care of me.

Before Zhang Weng died, he entrusted him to the three of us. Two brothers, you must take good care of him. "

When Wang Yan and Chen Guang heard Liu Guozhang's words, which sounded like Tuogu, they immediately became anxious, "Erlang, what happened?"

"You two were convicted by the high-ranking officials of Daming Mansion for some reason. I guess it may have something to do with the mission you escorted, and someone wanted to silence you. Originally, you two were just to assassinate the Nan'an Army in Jiangxi Province. But when the official document arrived in Kaifeng, it was Once the people change, they should first go to Fengqiu Prison City, and then assassinate the northwest."

"Who?"

"It should be Cai Laowu. Just like the routine in Yujin Garden, he used relatives and friends to threaten me. But today's game is much more clever.

But why did he suddenly become smart? Liu Guozhang shook his head, "I'm too lazy to think about it for a while." "

"Erlang, since you rescued us, please come with us." Wang Yan begged.

"If I had just arrived in Kaifeng City, I would have left as soon as I asked. Maybe I would have killed a lot like I did in Yujin Garden before leaving. Unfortunately, after staying here for two months, Liu has gained a lot of bonds.

In addition to Brother Zhengdao, there are also brothers Wang Dalang, Di Sanlang, Yang Liulang and the Hongying Party. As soon as I leave, the Cai family will put the blame on them. The good life that I finally lived was probably going to be ruined again. "

Mr. Xu, who was sitting in front, had tears streaming down his face. He looked up to the sky and sighed: "Erlang, you are so kind and righteous! The Hwarangs have you as their leader. This life is worth it!"

Liu Guozhang smiled, and the two beautiful faces of Lingguang Palace and Houde Palace flashed in his mind.

If he leaves, he will cause them a lot of trouble.

With their status, it is no problem to escape from this whirlpool and protect themselves, but it is extremely difficult to protect Zhang Zeduan, Wang Xun, Di Wanren, Yang Xiaojie and others.

"What are Erlang going to do?" Wang Yan asked.

"After I give you a ride, I will go to Kaifeng Mansion to surrender. Cai Laowu's target is me, and he has no interest in you little shrimps. And as long as I surrender, there will be no implication, Brother Zhengdao, Wang Dalang, Di Sanlang, Yang The backers behind Rokuro and the others are well protected."

"What!? No, this is absolutely impossible!"

Wang Yan and Chen Guang said in unison.

"Brothers, this is the only way I can think of to not only save you, but also protect others. I'm used to being in jail."

"Erlang, that's the prison of Kaifeng Mansion." Wang Yan and Chen Guang said with tears.

"So what? There is no prison in the world that can hold me, Liu Erlang!" Liu Guozhang laughed, "Two brothers, Erlang will be sent here. You must live well and don't waste Erlang's hard work."

"Jiro!"

"Brothers, it won't be long before you hear my name again!" Liu Guozhang waved his hand and watched Wang Yan and Chen Guang crying like tears in the mule cart as they walked further and further away.

After a while, a group of people came over on the way. They didn't want to see Liu Guozhang waiting for them on the roadside. Everyone looked at each other, and the scene was very embarrassing.

"Did Cai Laowu call you here?"

"Liu Erlang, we are not here to fight with you, we are just following you and watching." The visitor saw that Liu Guozhang was fully equipped with swords, guns, bows and arrows, and quickly explained.

"I know, I asked you to keep an eye on me and confirm that I robbed prisoners, and then issued arrest documents, arrested my accomplices, and forced me to submit. I know all the routines. It's just that I don't always follow the routines. Card.

Come together and save yourself the hassle of running around. "

In front of the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, there is a big drum, which was originally used by soldiers and civilians to beat grievances, but it has not been played for many years.

That afternoon, there was a loud "bang bang bang" sound, which scared the people in the yamen so much that they ran out one after another.

After leaving the gate, I saw a man standing there beating a drum.

When he saw someone coming out, he threw away the drumstick and said disdainfully: "The drums are rotten, the people are rotten, and the yamen is rotten! People inside, listen, Liu Guozhang and Liu Erlang are here to surrender!"
