Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Troubled City
Daniel Zhang captured Chao Gai and the three returned, Shi Wenbin couldn't afford to be ill, that Gai Tianxi was really too beautiful to be in the United States, I can't wait for Wen Bin's life at that time, and he can sit firmly in the position of Zhixian County.
If you really want to talk about it, Gai Tianxi is also a lazy and greedy person, and he has no real talent to learn, but if he wants to talk about the ability to scrape, he is afraid that compared to Liang Shijie, it is not in vain, but he is struggling to collect more money, and there is no way to pay tribute, which makes him very distressed.
But he never thought that the sky would fall by chance, the production of the birthday gang incident, the Taishi Cai Jing was angry, Liang Shijie sent Daniel Zhang here to serve as the capital supervisor, to assist the criminal, which undoubtedly made him see a glimmer of light, so in addition to beating the three Chao Gai three times a day, he invited that Daniel Zhang to eat wine, hoping that Daniel Zhang could take him to Liang Shijie online, this Daniel Zhang is a martial artist, although sometimes his brain is quite bright, but he can't stand this Gai Tianxi so enthusiastic, one and two, after a few meals, he patted his chest and took it down.
It's just that he has eaten wine for a few days, but he has not seen Liang Shijie's movement for a long time, this Gai Tianxi's heart is very anxious, although he is a candidate, but he also knows that this person who has won the birth gang is a great achievement, but it is also a hot potato, if the credit cannot be obtained, then everything is empty.
Therefore, this guy sent someone to invite Daniel Zhang to the mansion, intending to get some words out of his mouth.
How did he know, whether it was Liang Shijie or Cai Jing, they were all having a headache about this matter, after all, this was the first time that the person who robbed the Shengchengang was arrested and brought to justice, and it should be escorted to Bianjing, and Ling Chi was executed, but the matter of Shengchengang could not reach Song Huizong, if Ling Chi was to be executed, it would inevitably let Huizong know that although it would not have much impact on Cai Jing, it would be bad to bury a thorn in the emperor's heart after all.
In the end, Qiu Xuan stood up and spoke, "If Enxiang wants to escort the prisoners to Jingshi, then Enxiang must go to Captain Tong and ask him to borrow 10,000 "Shengjie Army". ”
Cai Jing was very puzzled, why the escort of individual criminals still needed to bother Tong Guan's "Shengjie Army".
I listened to Qiu Xuan explain to him in detail: "Chao Gai dared to rob the Taishi's birthday, although it was a crime against the Taishi, a capital crime, but in the rivers and lakes and green forests of the outside world, all of them regarded him as a hero, if the Taishi wanted to escort him into Beijing, then the places along the way must be heard from the scenery, and the prisoners will abound, if there is no army to escort him, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get to the Beijing Division, and there is a risk of being robbed." According to the poor road, it is better to capture the state capital, behead the thief to show the public, I believe that the green forest in the world, there is no place for such a person, arbitrarily attack the state capital and county government, and then escort the head into Beijing, in the world, to see who else in the world will dare to go against the Taishi in the future! ”
When Cai Jing heard this, he immediately repaired a book, sent his subordinate Yu Hou, and flew to report to the Daimyo's mansion.
As the saying goes, "the most poisonous woman's heart." Before Cai Jing's letter reached the Daimyo's Mansion, Liang Shijie had already ordered Yuncheng County, under the jurisdiction of Jeju Prefecture, to execute the prisoners on its own, and then Daniel Zhang directly escorted the first level into Beijing.
Liang Shijie is a lazy person, but when it comes to the degree of viciousness, he is far from being as vicious as his wife Cai Xiuer. This woman can be said to have won Cai Jing's true biography, and Cai Jing's psychology is extremely transparent, so she has already guessed Cai Jing's mind before Cai Jing's letter arrives. And Liang Shijie was afraid of guilt, and he didn't obey Cai Xiuer's words, so he hurriedly repaired the book to Yuncheng County, immediately beheaded the criminal, and escorted the head into Beijing.
As soon as the news came out, the world quickly spread the word, but as Qiu Xuan said, the people who originally planned to rob the prisoner halfway to see what kind of person had robbed the green forest of the Birth Gang suddenly died down.
When Gai Tianxi received Liang Shijie's letter, he immediately did not dare to slack off, he originally wanted to invite Shi Wenbin, the magistrate of the county, to preside over the matter, but he didn't want Shi Wenbin to be diagnosed by the big and small Langzhong in the city, and even the doctors in the rivers and lakes, he was already sick for a long time and could not be controlled.
Gai Tianxi, who received the exact reward from his subordinates, was overjoyed in his heart and said secretly: "I should also get this great achievement!" "Immediately send Daniel Zhang and He Tao, who were invited by his subordinates, to come to the mansion and discuss the beheading of Chao Gai, Zhu Tong, Liu Tang, and Bai Sheng.
After the two passed the house, Gai Tianxi took out Liang Shijie's letter to watch the two, and after He Tao read the letter, he immediately said: "Since the Lord Zhongshu inherits the will of the Taishi, according to the lower officials, it is inevitable that there will be many dreams at night, so it is better to behead these people tomorrow!" I don't know what Gai Zhixian and Zhang Du will do! ”
"This is also the meaning of this county, this Yuncheng is not better than other places, there are a lot of strong people and grass bandits, especially Chao Gai, who is even better at making friends with the rivers and lakes, if you don't cut it early, I am afraid that these grass robbers on the rivers and lakes will know, and they will risk death to rob the prison, and they don't know!" Gai Tianxi said, and looked at Daniel Zhang.
In fact, Daniel Zhang still admired the righteousness of Chao Gai and several people, but he was more obsessed with fame and fortune, because when Tong Guan went to the Western Army to promote the "Shengjie Army", he was the first to stand up and join Tong Guan, and now that he has such a good opportunity, he can be promoted to an official and make a fortune, how can he not allow it.
He has been in Yuncheng for a long time, he has long been tired of staying here, and he has long wanted to leave here, seeing that Gai Tianxi and He Tao have insisted on beheading a few people on the second day, and he wants to leave Yuncheng, where is there any reason to disagree, and he immediately agreed.
The three people with their own thoughts made the same choice for the sake of their own interests, and bursts of dark laughter gradually came out of the room.
Yuncheng Prison.
"It's time to eat!" With a shout from the officer, four bowls of rice were immediately stuffed through the gap in the cell.
"Braised pork!" Liu Tang and Bai Sheng saw that there was meat on the rice, so they immediately pounced, grabbed a bowl of it, grabbed the meat and stuffed it into their mouths.
Zhu Tong is a person who has been the head of the capital, he will not be as vulgar as Liu Tang and Bai Sheng, seeing such a meal, where can he not understand, laughed miserably, picked up a bowl of rice, and said to Chao Gai: "Baozheng, the days of being optimistic about you and me are over, after eating this bowl of guillotine rice, tomorrow you and I will go to the guillotine and eat a knife!" ”
"What!" At first hearing this, Bai Sheng couldn't even hold the bowl, fell to the ground, and cried: "I was wronged!" I was wronged! They forced me to do it, big brother of the errand officer, big brother of the errand officer, and I have nothing to do with the villain! ”
"TND, what are you talking about!" Liu Tang listened to it on the side, rolled his strange eyes, and kicked Bai Sheng down with a kick, "You guy, try it again!" ”
Who knew that this Bai Sheng seemed to have lost his mind and went crazy, and he still shouted those words outward regardless of getting up.
Liu Tang was furious, and when he stepped forward and kicked him again, he heard Chao Gai say: "Brother Liu Tang, let him go!" ”
"Brother, this guy ......"
Chao Gai shook his head and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, let him go!" It's just that Brother Zhu Tongxian has been affected! ”
Zhu Tong laughed miserably, "Now, what do you do when you say this, tomorrow will be executed, you and I can get below, and then be brothers!" ”
"Good! You and I can get down there, and then be brothers! Eat! With that, Chao Gai picked up a bowl of rice and ate it.
He hadn't eaten a few bites of rice when he heard someone outside shouting, "What a person! Dare to break into the prison privately, is there no royal law! Then came the sound of gold and iron intersecting.
"Brother, what is this?" Liu Tang heard this, turned his head and asked.
Chao Gai was about to speak, but he didn't want the sound of gold and iron to stop abruptly. "Maybe it's just an illusion of you and me!"
Chao Gai shook his head, and the glimmer of hope that had just been ignited was instantly extinguished by himself.
"Baozheng, Baozheng, where are you?" Just as Chao Gai gave up hope, a series of hurried shouts came from the passage of the cell.
"What is this?" Chao Gai and Zhu Tong glanced at each other, and both of them saw incredible looks in each other's eyes.
That Bai Sheng didn't care so much, he pulled his neck and shouted: "Here, here, I'm here!" ”
Perhaps he heard Bai Sheng's shout, and soon there was a burst of hurried footsteps in the passage, Bai Sheng saw that the person in the lead was wearing a Taoist robe, and stretched out his hand and shouted: "Dao Chief, Dao Chief, I'm here!" ”
Gongsun Sheng saw Bai Sheng stretching out his hand, ran over quickly, and said urgently: "What about Baozheng?" ”
"Virtuous brother!"
Gongsun Sheng raised his eyes and looked in, and saw Chao Gai unkempt and dirty, full of filth, where there was still a little bit of the past demeanor, Gongsun Sheng was miserable in his heart, and choked up: "Brother, you have suffered!" ”
Chao Gai dragged the shackles and staggered to the front of the prison bar, only to find that Gongsun Sheng no longer had the three beautiful beards of the past, and couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Brother Xian, where is your beard!" ”
"It's gone, it's scraped! As long as they can be saved, what are these beards! Gongsun Sheng's eyes were filled with tears, so he said lightly.
Before Chao Gai could say anything more, a person behind Gongsun Sheng said: "Dao Chief, this place should not stay for a long time, it is not too late to return to the mountain if you have something to say!" ”
Gongsun Sheng suddenly woke up, hugged his fists at a young man beside him and said, "What the little fifth brother said is that please ask the little seventh brother to cut this lock!" ”
"Well said!" As he spoke, he slashed down with a knife, and the lock suddenly fell to the ground.
"Brother!" Gongsun Sheng hurriedly pulled down the shackles, opened the prison door, and helped Chao Gai out, "Brother, you have suffered!" ”
"Dao Chief, let's go! My brother instructed that after saving people, he should go out of the city immediately, otherwise it will be too late! ”
"Let's go! I'll wait for this to go! While speaking, Gongsun Sheng and others held one by one and rescued Chao Gai, Zhu Tong, and Liu Tang from prison.
Bai Sheng saw that the three of them were saved, but he turned a blind eye to himself, and his heart was anxious, and he shouted: "And me!" Save me too! ”
Chao Gai heard Bai Sheng's shout, turned his head to look at Gongsun Sheng, and said: "Brother Xian, this Bai Sheng is also doing something with us in Huangnigang, speaking of which, we are still burdened by him, do you also rescue him?" ”
"This ......" Gongsun Sheng was quite embarrassed, and when he came, Junchen only ordered Chao Gai, Zhu Tong, and Liu Tang to leave, but he didn't say how to deal with this Bai Sheng.
Gongsun Sheng looked at the Ruan brothers, and the three brothers whispered a few words, and saw Ruan Xiaoqi take a few steps forward, split Bai Sheng's shackles with a knife, and said: "You go and run for your life, as for whether you can escape or not, it depends on your creation!" "Anyway, put away the knife and open the way first.
Gongsun Sheng and others Ruan Xiaoqi opened the way first, so they helped Chao Gai and others and rushed out.
When the Ruan brothers were in prison to save people, Qian did not rest at that time, relying on his clever light body kung fu, he sneaked into Gai Tianxi's mansion unknowingly, and a fire directly lit up his backyard, and for a time the fire was blazing and the flames were soaring to the sky.
"Let's go out of the water!" Soon the people of Nagai's house found out that there was a fire, and hurriedly shouted loudly, Gai Tianxi heard the shouting, and hurriedly dressed when he came out to see, he saw that the wind helped the fire, and it was difficult to control it for a while.
He hurriedly organized the people in the house to carry water to put out the fire, you must know that the backyard is the place where he hides his wealth, he wants to enter the body, all rely on these wealth to dot it, such a fire, if it is burned, he is not hopeless!
There is a saying that "the house leak coincides with the overnight rain", just when Gai Tianxi was in a hurry to organize his subordinates to extinguish the fire, he suddenly heard a prison officer coming to report, Gai Tianxi was surprised in his heart, and suddenly felt bad.
"What! Chao Gai ran away! Gai Tianxi jumped like thunder and grabbed the visitor, "How did you guard it, how did you let him escape!" Don't hurry up and inform He Tao and Daniel Zhang and tell them that if Chao Gai runs away, the two of them won't be able to interfere! also told Lei Heng that he should immediately bring someone to the county government to protect the county's family. Gai Tianxi shouted in a stria voice.
Lei Heng received the report, and he didn't dare to slack off, after Shi Wenbin was in bed, he immediately took refuge in Gai Tianxi, if something happened to Gai Tianxi, then his Lei Heng's days would come to an end. Picked up some officials and went straight to Gaifu.
Lei Heng lived some distance away from Gaifu, but Gaifu was so hot that it could be seen from afar. Seeing that the fire was so big, Lei Heng was very anxious in his heart, urging the officials to run quickly.
But I didn't want to run to the bottom of an archway, and I saw a monk with a big waist lying on the ground, snoring like thunder. Lei Heng was angry, the more he hurried, the more he encountered this kind of thing, stepped forward and raised the Pu knife in his hand, and said sharply: "I am a bald donkey who can't be cut to death, so you can sleep here, listen to grandpa's advice, find another place to sleep, and when you don't leave, grandpa chopped your head with a knife!" ”
This monk is the "flower monk" Lu Zhishen, who was ordered by Junchen to wait for Lei Heng here. You must know that this monk is also a fiery temper, when someone dares to talk to him like this, I saw his eyes open angrily, and shouted, "The Sprinkle family cut you thief bird first!" With that, he picked up the Zen staff from under his body, turned over, and headed towards Lei Heng is staff.
This Lei Heng is also a master who eats and takes cards on weekdays, how can there be any advanced martial arts, I don't know how much worse than Zhu Tong, who is also a head catcher, and now I meet Lu Zhishen, where is there still good fruit to eat. Before the battle of Sanhe, he was cut off by Zhishen and knocked over to the ground with a cane, and the officials around him saw that Lei Heng was overturned, where did he still have the courage to be here, he shouted and fled for his life.
Zhishen waited for the result of Lei Heng, and suddenly remembered Junchen's instructions, so he took back his Zen staff and said sharply: "If it weren't for the fact that you are very filial to your mother on weekdays, I would have killed you today." This is not something you can control, go back and take care of your mother! "Anyway, don't look at Lei Heng, just lie down and sleep.
Lei Heng passed through this beating, where did he dare to go to Gaifu again, so he had to go home slowly step by step.
Daniel Zhang lived closer to the prison and learned the news sooner. As soon as he learned the news, he was so shocked that he jumped up, hurriedly dressed neatly, and took five or six of his own soldiers to prepare to go to the prison to intercept Chao Gai.
Not wanting his two pro-soldiers to open the door of the mansion, they flew back upside down, and when Daniel Zhang fixed his eyes, he saw a man with a spear and walked in from outside the mansion.
Daniel Zhang shouted sharply: "Who are you!" If you dare to attack the court sergeants again, you don't want to rebel! ”
"Rebellion?" When the man heard what Daniel Zhang said, he laughed lightly, raised his head and said, "Aren't you the ones who forced me to rebel?" In the firelight, a cyan birthmark on his face stood out.
"Yang Zhi! You are Yang Zhi! Daniel Zhang shouted.
"Zhang Dujian has good eyesight, and he actually knows me Yang Zhi!"
"Yang Zhi! You lost the birth outline of the Taishi, and you came to attack the court sergeants, don't you really want to rebel? After you still claim to be the Yang family, don't you smear the Yang family by doing this! Listen to a certain advice and turn back as soon as possible, otherwise there is only a dead end! ”
Yang Zhi shook the gun in his hand and said, "Okay, Daniel Zhang, don't say those empty words anymore." If you want to pass through here today, you will win the gun in my hand first! ”
"That's what you said!" Daniel Zhang was not wordy, raised the mixed iron gun, and shot at Yang Zhi's heart.
Don't look at how majestic Daniel Zhang was when he fought with Chao Gai and Zhu Tong, but when it came to fighting Yang Zhi at this moment, the strength and weakness were immediately reversed!
There is a good saying, "The world's martial arts are unbreakable, only fast and unbreakable!" "Daniel Zhang's marksmanship is not bad, but when he arrives at Yang Zhi, it is like when Chao Gai met him, you must know that Yang Zhi's martial arts are used in battlefield battles, simple and direct, without the slightest flowery frame, where can Daniel Zhang still have a cheap advantage, not to mention that Yang Zhi has not yet used the Yang family's marksmanship!
Daniel Zhang and Yang Zhi exchanged ten moves, and Yang Zhi picked him to the ground, "Daniel Zhang, you are not my opponent, let's go with me!" ”
"You want me to go with you, unless I'm dead!" Daniel Zhang struggled to support his body, used both hands to exert force, pulled the mixed iron gun to the longest, rounded the spear, and shouted, "Yang Zhi, eat me a shot!" ”
"Good time!" Yang Zhi saw that Daniel Zhang was desperate, and used his body's tricks, but he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and the spear in his hand turned upwards and over, using his Yang family's spear's trick "Tiankun hanging upside down".
With a "bang", Daniel Zhang was picked up by Yang Zhi and flew out, he struggled a few times, and was no longer able to get up, so he said, "You won, kill me!" Although Daniel Zhang was defeated, he had that stubbornness in his bones.
"Humph!" Yang Zhi took back the spear and said, "I want to kill you too, but my lord said that he won't let me hurt your life, so you better go with me!" ”
“…………”
He Tao is different from Daniel Zhang, when he heard the news that someone had robbed the prison, his first reaction was not to arrest the person, but to think about how to escape, and then find more reinforcements to arrest the person again.
He quietly slipped to the back door of the mansion, and when he saw that there was no one around, he opened the back door and flashed out.
Just as he turned around to close the back door, he felt that the back of his head was hit hard by a heavy object, and he suddenly felt that the world was spinning and he was planted headlong.
"Didn't I tell you, lightly start, this guy doesn't need to be ......beaten" This was the last sentence He Tao heard with the last trace of consciousness.
Shi Wenbin Mansion.
Shi Wenbin has been scared of illness since the day Chao Gai was captured, even if Gai Tianxi visited the house many times.
However, it is this bedridden Shi Zhixian who is playing against a young son at the moment, talking funny, where is there still a little bedridden.
Shi Wenbin picked up a son, thought about it again and again, and finally threw it back into the chess basket, sighing: "Old, no, this will lose to you!" ”
"The time is just and the spring and autumn are prosperous, how can you say that you are old!"
Shi Wenbin looked at the young man in front of him, as if he had let go of his infinite burden, and said: "It's really old, and you don't want to say anything like being old anymore." I'll let you go. ”
"Oh?" The young man looked at Shi Wenbin with interest, "Shi Gong knows who I am?" ”
Shi Wenbin smiled bitterly, "I don't know where I am, I just hope that Shi will not regret today's decision in the future!" ”
"Shi Gong can rest assured! In the future, Shi Gong will only be infinitely proud of today's decision! ”
"I hope so!"
