Chapter 020: Young Shi Xiu
The arrival of Liu Lin and the more than 50 military men broke the tranquility of Xiaojiaji, and the officials and soldiers scolded the tenants and villagers in Xiaojiaji, as well as Shi Cheng and other merchants who still lived in Xiaojiaji's market and sold sheep and horses: "You understand!" Xiao Jiaji Xiao Mansion Xiao Tang colluded with thieves and committed a mortal crime, I was sent here by the Daimyo Mansion to arrest the thief, and those who have nothing to do with it must not be in chaos, otherwise they will be arrested and interrogated together! ”
Shi Cheng and the other sheep and horse dealers were so frightened that they said yes again and again, and after being interrogated, they were put back at the inn. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Shi Cheng's nephew frowned and thought, and said: "Uncle, I see that the young owner of the Xiao family is kind and kind, but he is not like a murderous bandit. ”
After hearing this, Shi Cheng hurriedly half-comforted and half-reprimanded his nephew: "What if it's not like it? Who will listen to you now that the official is handling the case? You must put away your temper and provoke the government, we small businessmen and ordinary people can't afford to be guilty! Alas, if Xiao Shaodong's family really hasn't done anything bad, Jiren has his own natural appearance, how can you interfere with this yellow-mouthed child? ”
"Jiren has his own heavenly appearance? Hehe..."Shi Cheng's nephew sneered, and then said to his uncle: "Uncle is relieved, I know what I do, how can I do something to implicate us?" ”
Shi Cheng heard his nephew say this, and only half of his heart was relieved, so he rushed back to the room and continued to sleep, and his nephew went back to the room, thought for a while, and took advantage of the fact that the sheep and horse dealers who were traveling with him were asleep, but quietly got up and went out of the guest room, and when he saw that there were no officials and soldiers around, he sneaked into the dark night.
Shi Cheng's nephew sneaked to the front yard of Xiao Mansion in the dark, and looked around, and suddenly heard someone talking on the other side of the wall, he listened attentively, and heard someone say: "Xiao An, Xiao An, you are so majestic in the hands of the young master, even I, the general manager, don't look at it, how did you expect that there will be today?" ”
Xiao An? Isn't it the hateful-looking helper in front of the young master of the Xiao family? Shi Cheng's nephew listened even more carefully.
I heard Xiao An say: "Chief Lei, Master Lei, although the young master and Chief Lei have not been on good terms recently, although the little one is the person under the young master, how dare he offend the tiger power of Chief Lei?" But the young master is in our Xiao family, and there is no hatred and no disaster, how can he do that head-killing thing? There must be some misunderstanding in this matter, there is a way to have eggs under the nest, and Mr. Lei is also from our Xiao Mansion, and this matter has to be explained to the official! ”
The man known as Chief Lei snorted coldly: "Xiao Mansion? Master Xiao and Xiao Tang's yellow-mouthed child, do you really regard me as a person in the Xiao Mansion? I might as well tell you, that Xiao Tangqian shouldn't have gone to convict Li Gongzi of the famous mansion!
What if he was wronged? You think that he has changed his mind these days, but in fact, he is as nonsense as before, but it is also thanks to him, and in the future, this Xiao Mansion will be surnamed Lei! ”
"What? You, you ....." Xiao An was dumbfounded, and didn't know how to respond for a while.
"What else do you want to say?" Lei Ben said in a dark voice: "The big tree of the Xiao family is about to fall, and I can also use you." I know that you are a person who understands current affairs, whether you accompany the Xiao family to die, or be my helper, it all depends on whether you know this lift! ”
After a moment of silence, Xiao Anne said, "Everything depends on Chief Lei..."
"Phew! Dog thief! Dog minion! Shi Chengzhi's nephew secretly listened to the dialogue between the two, spit and scolded secretly, after he heard the ins and outs of the future, he sneaked into the dark night again......
Half an hour later.
Xiao Tang was tied up and imprisoned in the house, and there were several officers and soldiers guarding outside the house. He knew that after the official and military guards led their men to QH County to capture Wu Song, they would be escorted to the Daimyo's Mansion together, and they would face a trial that would completely turn black and white upside down and put them to death.
Xiao Tang didn't expect Li Shaohua's methods to come so quickly and so viciously, nor did he expect that Lei Ben had always had a relationship with the nine-headed insect's subordinates, and he stabbed the Xiao family in the back at this juncture!
Since the nine-headed worm Li Shaohua was ready to frame the evidence of Xiao Tang, Wu Song and others so quickly, then the poor Su Jinniang, who was detained in the Zongcheng County Mansion, must have fallen into the clutches of the devil, right? The sense of powerlessness in Xiao Tang's heart gradually spread, fairness, human nature, and goodness are worthless and useless in front of the powerful who cover the sky with one hand, perhaps it is really as Zhao Shen, the head of the city and county, said to him: "This sky is eyeless!" ”
It seems that the wonderful life of the Great Song Dynasty is about to end here, Xiao Tang's heart is gradually cold, and how will Xiao Jiaji and Xiao Daddy be implicated? Thinking of this, Xiao Tang couldn't help but feel very guilty.
At this moment, Xiao Tang suddenly heard two muffled snorts outside the door, and after a while, the door creaked open, and two people rushed in from outside the door.
Because the two people who came were Xiao Yi, the son of Zhuang Keqinghu under Xiao Tang, and Xue Yong, the teacher of Zhuang Shang's gun stick, who was sick and sick.
Xiao Yi rushed to Xiao Tang, and while he was in a hurry to untie Xiao Tang, he hurriedly said, "Young Master! Fortunately, I escaped, but this time we were framed by the dog officer, so we had to flee quickly. ”
Xiao Tang said happily: "Xiao Yi! Master Xue, how did you two get rid of the guards and soldiers? ”
Xue Yong replied: "Xiao Yi and I put down the three guarding officers and soldiers, fortunately we didn't startle the others to see the young master, and fortunately, those officers and soldiers were not wary of Xiao An, so he let him save me and Xiao Yi from the predicament." ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Tang saw Xiao An also walking in from outside the door, and Xiao An also hurriedly said when he saw Xiao Tang: "Young master, Lei Ben, that old thief ate my coaxing, and is now talking to Master Xiao in the mansion." I took this opportunity to release Xiao Yi and Master Xue, you guys go quickly! Otherwise, when the escort officer escorts Wu Song and the official army to arrive, there will be no chance to escape! ”
Xiao Tang looked at Xiao An, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, because he knew Xiao An's personality, Xiao An flattered Xiao Tang all day long, and it was no different from the idle lackeys raised by ordinary landlords, that was because Xiao Tang was the master of the Xiao family, but now that the Xiao family was in great trouble, with Xiao An's slick temperament, it was not surprising that Xiao Tang immediately switched to Lei Ben.
Xiao An looked at Xiao Tang's expression, he smiled miserably, and said astringently: "Young Master, I know that you and Master Wu, Xiao Yi, and Master Xue don't look down on me, and even Lei Ben's old pig and dog think that with his coercion and temptation, he can let me be his lackey."
I also know what kind of character I have, but even if I am lazy and scared, I can write the word 'righteousness'. Although the young master has reprimanded me for drinking these days, I know that the young master regards me as his own person, how can I be a pig and a dog as treacherous? Young Master, you and Xiao Yi and Master Xue should run away quickly! The old thief surnamed Lei thought that I had sincerely defected to him, and I would take care of the affairs of the master and the house. ”
Xiao Tang's cold heart suddenly seemed to be injected with a warm current, and after he was loosened by Xiao Yi, he patted Xiao An's shoulder with gratitude, and said, "Good brother, I looked down on you in the past. ”
Xiao An and Xiao Tang looked at each other, and he also smiled, without the oily and smooth, fox-like and pretentious face of the past. Whether it was in the Song Dynasty or in modern times, there were always many people who patted their chests and shouted words such as brother and righteousness loudly, but at a critical moment, many so-called brothers did not fulfill their promises, and even stabbed you in the back; There will also be some people because of their incompatible personalities, as well as some minor problems and other reasons, although you keep in touch with them, but in your heart silently put yourself at the peak of the moral point to look down on each other, so as to gain some sense of superiority, and when you are down, you will be surprised that some friends who will "look down" in your heart will lend a helping hand to you at this time.
Fortunately for Xiao Tang, Xiao An happens to belong to the latter type of person.
But when Xiao Tang, Xiao Yi, Xiao An, and Xue Yong walked out of the room and were about to find a way to escape from Xiao Mansion, their hearts were cold again, because they saw that Liu Lin, the blood-gnawing jackal under the nine-headed insect not far away, was walking towards this side, and he had already seen them!
It turned out that Liu Lin was going to wait for the detainee to lead the army to QH County to arrest Wu Song, and then escort Xiao Tang Wu Song and others to the Daimyo Mansion to ask for merit, but the journey from Xiao Jiaji in Zongcheng County to Kong Songzhuang in QH County would take some time, and he was bored in every way He originally wanted Xiao Tang to be here and humiliate the eyeless thing again, but he didn't expect to find that Xiao Tang had been released as soon as he came over.
Liu Lin chuckled in his heart, turned around and was about to run, he was going to shout at the top of his voice to call the other officers and soldiers who stayed behind, but seeing that Liu Lin was about to turn around and call someone, Xiao Tang and the others were far away from him, and they couldn't stop him at all. If he attracts officials and soldiers, then Xiao Tang, Xiao Yi and others will have no chance to escape!
Liu Lin just turned around, but almost bumped into a teenager, the young man "oops", his face looked extremely panicked, this young man Liu Lin took a look, it seemed to be one of the sheep and horse traders passing through Xiaojiaji, he scolded in his mouth: "Get out!" Come on...... Belch! ”
But when Liu Lin just shouted, the young man's eyes suddenly burst out with a fierce light that did not match his age! He kicked Liu Lin's knee, and when he was half-kneeling, he covered Liu Lin's mouth with one hand, took out a sharp knife to relieve his wrist with the other, and stabbed Liu Lin's waist hard!
Liu Lin twitched violently, Rao is he knows some kung fu, but it happened too suddenly, who would have thought that such a half-grown teenager would be so vicious!
The young man's hand was not idle, one, two, three..... Covering Liu Lin's heart, waist, and throat, "Poof!" "Poof! "Poof! "It's another mess!
Seeing such a terrifying scene, Xiao An almost screamed, Xiao Tang's eyes were quick, and he covered Xiao An's mouth, and he was also shocked by the sudden change in front of him!
Liu Lin's eyes bulged out like a dead fish, and his body twitched with the sharp knife that the young man had brought in, and the young man saw that Liu Lin was dead, so he stopped, and Liu Lin fell to the ground like a dead dog, and the blood could not stop flowing in all directions.
The young man's face was covered with blood, he stretched out his hand and wiped his hands on Liu Lin's corpse, stood up and said to Xiao Tang: "Young Master Xiao, the little one's surname is Shi Mingxiu, thanks to the young master taking care of the uncle, the little one has nothing to repay, seeing that the young master was framed by the dog official, he suffered an injustice. Seeing that Young Master Xiao and the others were held by this dog official, the little one wanted to find an opportunity to help Young Master Xiao and the others get out of trouble, but now the only thing the little one can do is to slaughter the birdman and help Young Master Xiao escape early. ”
Tianhui Star Stone Show! Liang Shanbo is ranked thirty-three, and he is known for his courage and ruthlessness!!
In the original work of "Water Margin", this Shi Xiu followed his uncle to resell sheep and horses in the north, and wandered in the rivers and lakes after his uncle died of illness, and later got acquainted with Yang Xiong, and committed a murder and fell ill with Yang Xiong, Gushang Flea, and the three of them voted for Liangshanbo together.
In a series of events that occurred later, Shi Xiujianghu was full of righteousness, full of courage, great execution and decisiveness, wisdom and courage and other characteristics were vividly expressed, and his character characteristics are extremely distinctive, and his sensitivity and ruthlessness are also very distinct!
When Shi Xiu relieved Yang Xiong, he was scolded by Zhang Bao, who "kicked and killed sheep", as a "beggar who starved and did not freeze to death".
After worshipping Yang Xiong as a brother, Yang Xiong handed over the business of the butcher shop to Shi Xiu to take care of, and one day he saw that the anvil of the butcher shop was also collected, and when he did not open the door to do business, he mistakenly thought that others could not see that he was developed, so he settled the accounts and took the package and left.
After being provoked by Pan Qiaoyun to discord his relationship with Yang Xiong, he left silently, but secretly and neatly killed Pan Qiaoyun's concubine Pei Ruhai and his subordinate Toutuo, and his methods couldn't even find out the reason for the government!
Xiao Tang naturally knew what kind of character Shi Xiu would be when he became an adult, but he really couldn't imagine that he was a half-grown teenager, and he was already so vicious and decisive at this time!
Xiao Tang hugged his fists at Shi Xiu and said, "Fortunately, Brother Shi made a move, otherwise I will be warned by this guy, and I will be trapped here again." ”
Shi Xiu responded, and said: "Young Master Xiao, now is not the time to talk, just go quickly, if he has a fate, you and I will meet on the rivers and lakes." ”
Xiao Tang thanked him and was just about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something and said to Shi Xiu: "Brother Shi has a human life on my hands for me, if the government investigates it, what will Brother Shi do?" ”
Shi Xiu gritted his teeth, his blood-stained face showed his white teeth, and said: "Young Master Xiao doesn't have to worry about being small, when Young Master Xiao and the others escape, the errand will only count the death of this birdman on Young Master Xiao's head, who can guess that it is the hand of a mediocre and ordinary young man like me?" ”
Shi Xiu saw that Xiao Tang and the others had gone far, bowed and looked around, took off his coat and wrapped the sharp knife of his wrist, quietly touched out from the back wall of Xiao's mansion, washed his face in the back mountain and buried the knife in a secret place, and finally touched back to the inn room, and lay on the bed with the snoring sheep and horse dealer, acting strictly and alertly throughout the whole process, but was not noticed by an outsider.
.....................
When Xiao Tang and the others were looking for a way to escape, Xiao Yi thought of Shi Xiu's behavior and couldn't help but sigh: "That kid is so old, he is ruthless and vicious, and he is a fine one, and when he grows up, he will be a difficult character to mess with!" ”
Xiao Tang couldn't help but nod secretly, he didn't expect that the momentary kindness of that day would lead a young Liangshan hero out again, thinking of Wu Song, Shi Xiu, Xue Yong, these heroes who will become famous on Liangshan in the future, and then thinking of his current situation of being framed by the powerful, a thought suddenly popped into his heart:
Could it be that I'm going to be forced to go to Liangshan too?
