Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Fire Is Burning
Gao Yu suddenly became enlightened - why did he bother with Uncle Zhang because of what he did? Just pester what Uncle Zhang did at night!
So Gao Yu immediately refreshed his senses, and said to Uncle Zhang with a smile: "Zhang Taishou, this master has something unclear, and he wants to ask Zhang Taishou for advice - last winter, Zhang Taishou showed great mercy and helped countless homeless people in Jeju City, this merit is really great!" I heard that Jang Tae-shou is a Qing official, his family has no money to spare, and the treasury of Jeju Prefecture also reports famine every year - next to Yangsan! It's strange that there isn't a famine, and it's quite sympathetic to say - but what? Giving relief to so many victims, Zhang Taishou, who is powerless in the public and private, can spend as much money as he can fill in the pits! The mystery of this, I hope Zhang Taishou will teach me to understand. β
Uncle Zhang sighed in his heart: "It's time to come!" Ximen Qing! When you sent me money and food, you expected this day a long time ago, right? However, even if you deliberately framed me, I am grateful for the livelihood of so many people! β
Thinking well in his heart, he had no scruples between his words, so he heard Uncle Zhang say loudly: "Gao Yu, you don't have to knock on the side, I, Uncle Zhang, do things by myself - most of the food and medicine for the victims of the disaster were received from Menqing in Liangshan West - are you satisfied?" β
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent was shocked, Gao Yu was overjoyed, and secretly gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle Zhang, old horseman!" This is the way to heaven, you don't go, hell has no door to vote! Just admit it yourself, and see how Lord Ben entertains you! β
At that moment, hahadaxiao, his middle knuckle tapped lightly on the table, and beat his own words and said, "Zhang Taishou! You are the official of the imperial court, the shepherd of a state, this is to protect the territory and the people, catch bandits and thieves, but your duty! But how did you, such a loyal servant, learn to collude with bandits? Is it enjoyable to eat other people's food and spend other people's money? Today, Lord Ben was ordered to enter Liangshan to suppress the thieves, where the duty lies, Zhang Taishou has no choice but to take care of the behavior of the official bandit family! Haha-"
Looking at the triumphant Gao Yu, Uncle Zhang sneered: "The reason why a manly doctor behaves is to tell a villain like you who is rampant once he is ambitious, and you don't understand!" If it weren't for the villains who confused the government, how would the world become what it is now? The swords and thieves in the four corners are clearly forced out by you traitorous ministers? If a good person wants to do something good, he has to secretly bear the name of a thief, such a world is really loveless! Gao Yu! Junior! Since I, Uncle Zhang, have come here today, I didn't think about going back alive, so you don't have to behave there, what means do you have, just use it-you traitors and remnants of the people to enrich yourself, force the good to be a coward, and one day, let you reap the fruits of your own life-At that time, a certain Zi was waiting on the Huangquan Road to see what happened to you! β
When the ten knots in the tent listened, they couldn't help but tremble, but they were also secretly overwhelmed by Uncle Zhang's courage. Gao Yu listened to these words, but it was rare that he did not jump like thunder, and he still said with a smile: "Although Zhang Taishou said magnificently, Lord Ben couldn't understand half of a sentence. Who is the traitor? Who is the traitor? Anyway, Lord Ben didn't collude with the thieves, and he didn't fill his pockets in the name of disaster relief, and the word traitor can't be on me anymore! Zhang Taishou, you are a decent civil official, and now that you have confessed your guilt, although I can act cheaply in the heavens, it is inconvenient to deal with you in vainβso be it! Please take a break in our army for the time being, and Lord Ben will report to the court, and the official family will make a clear decision, what do you think? β
Uncle Zhang said "hey" at night, raised his head and ignored the villain.
Gao Yu smiled: "Someone! β
Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong had already been eager for this, and the two brothers lifted the curtain and led people to break into the tent, filling the tent.
Gao Yu said leisurely: "Although Zhang Taishou is a civil official and has strong martial arts, if he is just banned, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient - there are wooden cage prisoner cars and stainless steel shackles, please use Lord Taishou first!" When the dogs listened, they shouted in unison to cheer for their master.
Uncle Zhang sneered and said in a long voice: "Stainless steel shackles are what you want, and the wooden cage prisoner car is the hometown - lead the way in front of the head!" As he spoke, he strode out of the tent, but he didn't bother to look back, and a group of pawns panicked, and hurriedly followed him.
Dang Shixiong gritted his teeth and bowed to Gao Yu and said, "Lord Taiwei, you only put this old puppet prisoner in a wooden cage, but isn't it cheap for him?" If his people collude with Liangshan, there must be a detailed plot, why not torture him and make an iron case? In this way, I can see the work of Lord Taiwei! β
Gao Yu said lazily: "How can this be reasonable! No matter how bad Uncle Zhang is, he is also the Taishou of a state, no matter how reasonable Lord Ben is, he can't be contemptuous of him, otherwise the face of the Chinese official will not look good, if the rabbit dies and the fox is sad and makes a stumbling block with Lao Tzu, this Liangshan will not have to be begged! β
Wen Huanzhang exclaimed: "Lord Taiwei is thoughtful, and he is really handsome!" β
Gao Yu smiled smugly, and said in his heart: "Besides, this Uncle Zhang is Taishi Cai's enemy, I will send him to Tokyo after Haode and hand it over to Taishi Cai to brew, how much favor is that?" In the prison of the capital master, what kind of guy doesn't have anything? The conditions in this army are simple, and there are no tricks to talk about, and if it is broken, it will not be beautiful. β
However, thinking that he had already made up his mind, Gao Yu smiled gloomily again, and said at the moment: "Uncle Zhang colluded with Liangshan at night to accept money and food bribes from thieves, and he himself admitted it, but it was not Lord Ben who wronged him - from tomorrow, he will push the wooden cage prisoner cart to parade through the streets of Jeju, give Zhang Taishou a long face, and let those Diao people who don't have long eyes and no long memories take a look at it, and they all recognize it clearly, what are these loyal ministers who have peeled their skins!" β
Wen Huanzhang and Dang Shixiong were overjoyed when they heard this, and complimented in unison: "Lord Taiwei's trick of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle and ruining Uncle Zhang's reputation is really wonderful!" β
Dang Shiying said: "Lord Taiwei, I just visited the Malay newspaper, Jeju City still doesn't open the city, we can't enter Jeju, but let your lord, where do you go to camp down?" β
Gao Yu waved his hand: "It doesn't matter!" Jeju under Uncle Zhang's rule must be a poor city, how much oil and water can there be? Lao Tzu is too lazy to fight his idea! By the way, give Niu Bangxi an order to go, don't rob it casually! The soldiers have grabbed enough money, who is willing to fight for their lives? Mr. Wen, you bother to write a proclamation again, bring back the people of the headquarters to the ten jiedu envoys, and proclaim it widely - just say that if Liangshan is leveled, Lao Tzu will be rewarded tenfold, if Liangshan has more money, what if it is a hundred times? Let those rabbit cubs shine, don't just stare at a few small coins on the place, that you won't be able to live! Wen Huanzhang agreed with a smile.
Ten knots were also rewarded. Gao Yu said: "First rest the army here for two days, collect the hearts of the little ones, and then the soldiers surround Liangshan, don't let the thieves run away, and it will hurt us to lose a penny." But when it comes to these troop transfers to fight, Lao Tzu is all laymen, so he will play you generals-you festival envoys should work hard! β
Everyone said that they didn't dare, and after going out, they set up camp and reorganized their troops to prepare for entering Liangshan. Dang Shixiong was in good spirits, and the next day he personally escorted Uncle Zhang to go to Jinxiang City in the south of Jeju to parade the streets, which caused a sensation in a county.
There are four cities under the rule of Jeju, Yunseong in the north, Juyeseong in the middle, Renseong in the east, and Jinxiang Fortress in the south, and half of the 800 miles of Yangshan Shui Po are under Jeju's rule. As Gao Yu's troops advanced, Zhang Shuye also swam from Jinxiang to Rencheng, and then swam back to Jeju City.
These days, although Uncle Zhang is wearing shackles and in a cage, he is unyielding, just waiting for the Tokyo Holy Decree to come down and make a clear decision, so he should eat, sleep, and after a few days, people will be fat. When parading through the streets, although the gong arranged by Dang Shixiong rang loudly and shouted at Zhang Shuye's "crime", except for those deliberately arranged loafers who shouted a few words, the people were silent, looking at their respected Taishou with quiet eyes.
Although they are ignorant and even ignorant, they are not fools to be manipulated by others - if Uncle Zhang and Zhang Taishou were corrupt officials, he would have become a guest of honor of the traitor Gao Yu, where would he still use the prisoner car?
In the silence of the people, it seems that there is an undercurrent surging under the calm sea.
When the prisoner car arrived at the city of Jeju, the city suddenly boiled over, and the people's cries were earth-shattering. It's better to do the opposite, grab the Taishou back! - Everyone responded as soon as they agreed, and the three brothers of the Zhang family couldn't be suppressed - first, they didn't want to be suppressed, and second, they really couldn't be suppressed.
Dang Shixiong and the others escorted the officers and soldiers all changed color - if the people of a city rushed out, they would be trampled into pulp! But just when Dang Shixiong was in a panic, Uncle Zhang, who was sitting, stood up from the cage at night.
He blocked the Jeju City Gate with just one shout - "Whether my Uncle Zhang is guilty or not, my own official family will decide!" Do you want to make a rebellion, do you want to force me to die early? β
And when all the people listened, they could no longer move, but they all bowed down in the dust, and wept bitterly, and the streets were wet. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dang Shixiong hurriedly pushed the prisoner cart and ran away like a lost dog.
After Dang Shixiong, who had palpitations, ran to Yuncheng County, his heart finally let go of half of it. Yuncheng County is a small county, here, how big can those Diao people turn up?
Dang Se-woong was wrong - although the people here are not as dense as Jeju City, they have a good county commander, Shi Wenbin.
Shi Wenbin has been in the position of Yuncheng County Commander for two terms. When the first term was handed over, it was just in time for Chao Gai Huang Nigang to rob Cai Jing's birth gang, and those officials from top to bottom were unlucky, but it happened that he was transferred and left, and he was a good person with good rewards and escaped a catastrophe.
However, Shi Wenbin is a Qing official, no money, on weekdays for the New Year's Day, although he also went to see Shangguan, but he couldn't afford to give gifts, only ran away and didn't send them, and used them in situ, and then the officials around Liangshan really couldn't sell them, and the bosses discussed and sent Shi Wenbin back to the old place again, and continued to be his Yuncheng County Order!
Shi Wenbin, who returned to Yuncheng, was warmly welcomed by the people of Yuncheng, after all, it is not easy to meet a Qing official! To tell the truth, it is easier to be a Qing official at the foot of Liangshan, because no one on the ground dares to run amok lawlessly, and the rafters that come out of the sky let Liangshan Heng cut in front, Shi Wenbin only needs to do practical things for the people, so his enthusiasm is very high - after being an official all his life, he is still the happiest at the feet of thieves!
Unexpectedly, today I ran into a rafter that came out - Dang Shixiong.
Dang Shixiong pushed the prisoner car where Zhang Shuye was being held, ordered Shi Wenbin to arrange for the local security to ring the gong, arrange for people to throw garbage on the prisoner car, and arrange for people to accuse Zhang Shuye of his crimes - in his opinion, these small county orders are lackeys, and as long as he, a confidant of Gao Taiwei, snorts, the small county orders will only have the share of running around.
But Shi Wenbin is not one of those small county orders - when he saw clearly who the person sitting in the prisoner car was, he was furious, pointed his finger at the tip of Dang Shixiong's nose and scolded: "Who are you? How dare you bully a state parent like this?! β
It's a pity that his nerd anger is not at the right time - Dang Shixiong, who was deflated under Jeju City and felt that he had lost face, whipped him and scolded: "It's against you!" This time, the master is not only going to bully your parents in a state, but also your parents in this county! β
Jeju lost face in the city, so he got it back in Yuncheng County! This was the most wrong decision Dang Shixiong made in his life.
He ordered Shi Wenbin to be put in a wooden cage in a prisoner car - the cage was big enough anyway, and it was purely a fee for Zhang Shuye to be locked up - and then staggered through the streets. Who knew that it annoyed the heroes in Yuncheng County. This person is none other than the one who is the head of the ya, and the tiger is thundering. Shi Wenbin is Lei Heng's old boss, the two get along happily, Dang Shixiong will practice Shi Wenbin like this, how can Lei Heng tolerate it?
In indignation, Lei ran home, without saying a word, knelt down in front of the old lady first, and kowtowed.
This startled Lei's mother: "Heng'er, what trouble have you caused again?" β
Lei Heng said in a deep voice: "Mother! The child didn't cause trouble, but was ready to cause trouble - mother, you don't know, there is a dog official under Gao Yu in our county, what is the name of Dang Shixiong, and he used a prisoner car to hold our Jeju Zhang Taishou, not to mention, and also arrested our county order, turned off the car and paraded the streets, so humiliating, is it tolerable or unbearable? Although the child is reckless, he also knows that Zhang Taishou is a good official, Shi County Ling is a good official, and now the good officials are all put in cages, they are men, who can bear it? Mother! The child is bold, and he wants to let Dang Shixiong's dog official eat a flash, but he is afraid that the old lady will be frightened, so he has this kneeling - mother! After the child is finished, your old man is merciful, and the prospective child will give it a go! β
Hearing this, Lei's mother stretched out her hand and pulled Lei Heng up, and said categorically: "Child! You're getting down to business! How could a good official like Zhang Taishou and Shi County Ling be insulted by a dog thief? You go and act on your own, don't think of me, although your mother is old, but her muscles and bones are still strong, she is on crutches, walks a few steps, and also goes to Liangshan! β
Lei Heng was surprised and delighted, he didn't expect that the old lady not only allowed him to go, but also thought of the way to retreat, and asked at the moment: "Mother! Why did you suddenly think about going to Liangshan? β
With a "snort", Lei's mother sighed: "I always can't let go of the merit cakes of the Ximen officials and the local chef stars back then!" Just go up to Liangshan this time, rely on your face, and ask them for some to come to the Buddha to make offerings! β
Lei Heng asked again: "Mother! Let's leave this house, are you really willing? β
"Confused!" Lei's mother reprimanded her son, "Liangshan and Yuncheng County are so close, and when Liangshan defeats these officials and bandits, your wife can come back when I want, why is there anything you can?" β
Speaking of which, Lei's mother packed up a small bag and went on crutches like a wind. Lei Heng stayed there, imagining that the old lady shouted to the little minions who were in charge of the boat in Liangshan by the water: "I joined the gang in Liangshan Dazhai!" At that time, the people on the boat must have fallen into the water like dumplings!
Lei Heng shook his head, shook away all his thoughts, and got up to find his old partner, Zhu Tong, the bearded man. Zhu Tong's martial arts are above himself, and with his help, he has five points more certainty to save Zhang Taishou and Shi County's order.
When I found Zhu Tong's house, I saw Zhu Tong packing up his things, and when he saw Lei Heng, he said solemnly: "Brother came just in time, I have something to say to you!" β
Lei Heng saw that Zhu Tong was pinning the big clutch to his waist, and a strange resonance suddenly appeared in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Brother, please speak!" β
Zhu Tong got straight to the point and said: "Dang Shixiong's thief deceived the people of Yunzhou County too much, I want to go to deal with him, save Zhang Taishou and Lord Shi out, I know that my brother has an old mother in your family, unlike me, a person who has nothing to worry about, so I won't pull you to do it with me - but if there is a loud voice, I hope that my brother will look at the old love, don't stop me!" β
Lei Heng listened, hehe, hehe, but he turned over his shirt and showed a row of daggers like tiger fangs on his waist. Zhu Tong was stunned at first, and between his eyes, he suddenly had a heart-to-heart, and both of them were hahadaxiao.
After laughing, Zhu Tong sighed: "My brother has the courage to do this, but what about my mother?" β
Lei Heng exhaled and said hatefully: "Damn! It's really the government forcing the people to rebel, and I have to rebel - my wife has already packed her package and went to Liangshan before me to join the gang! β
Zhu Tong listened, almost choked to death by a mouthful of his own saliva, coughed for a long time, and then said, "This ...... The world where even the old mother can't sit still...... Alas! Something went wrong! Something went wrong! β
Lei Heng said with his hands in full swing: "Brother, aren't you talking nonsense?" All right! What are we going to do now? Dang Shixiong has more than 1,000 people, and there is a court's Jiedu envoy who is leading the troops nearby, how can we clean up Dang Shixiong and rescue the two adults? β
Zhu Tong is not as impulsive as Lei Heng's blood, he is a scheming person, he has already made up his mind, after listening to Lei Heng's words, his heart is more determined, and he said decisively: "Brother, you and I must be like this, like this, it will definitely make the dog official fall into fear!" "This is exactly what it is:
only said that the hero threw himself into the water margin, and saw the old woman go to Liangshan again. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
