Chapter 37—The Tricks of the Wicked (I)
Updated: 2013-11-13
With Heng Ming's appearance, those traitors and evil officials in Pingyang Mansion did not dare to be presumptuous, and Heng Jie had already seen that they were indiscriminately accusing and wanted to slaughter the people as an idea, so they hurriedly cleared up. Only Li Bin, the deputy head of the road, did not give up, and bluntly said that the bandits who traveled the mountain were all extremely vicious, and he also brought a group of people as witnesses. Those people are Yao Ming's gang, Yao Ming has sharp teeth, and he burst into tears, and when he talks about Zuihou, he bows on the spot, shouting that the official is in charge and avenges his dead brother. Yao Ming was true whether he said or cried, and said that the large group of people who went there that day could testify. Li Bin also insisted on the bandits in Daxingshan, killing innocents indiscriminately, kidnapping people for food, lawlessness, and I don't know how many Great Song Dynasty laws were violated. Hengjie couldn't distinguish the facts for a while, but he also believed that those local tyrants had gathered people on a large scale, and they had bad intentions, so they should first sort out the ins and outs of the matter before making a judgment. Hengjie has always had a straight temperament, and his official position is three-grade, how can Li Bin, a five-grade military attaché, be able to fight against him, if he doesn't think that he has Tong Guan's support, the current internal and external troubles, and there is no room for further incidents, Hengjie will never give him a good face. So Hengjie decided to personally lead the soldiers and horses to Daxing Mountain three days later to see what was going on.
It was agreed that day, Li Bin returned home angrily, Yao Ming saw that Li Bin was in a very bad mood, he smiled, rubbed his hands and whispered: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, you are like that Hengjie." I had already ordered someone to go back and ventilate, absolutely foolproof! ”
"Humph! I don't know what to do! That Hengjie is an ordinary character, as long as he is a little careless, he will bite and hold on! What's more, I heard that Zhou Dong's old horseman is a guest in his mansion, and this matter is probably related to him! These two people are not easy to get along with, and it is not easy to deal with them when they join forces now! Li Bin's eyes were gloomy, and his heart was very irritable, since the death of Na Baigu, he seemed to be troubled, everything was not going well, and he finally saw a good opportunity to enter the body, but he was hindered by people in every way, not to mention that as long as the bandits of this great mountain were eliminated, the matter of fornication with the Jin people could be regarded as in addition to half of the roots.
"The little man has a big temper. According to the old man, it is very simple to deal with these two people! ”
At this moment, suddenly a group of people walked out of the front yard, led by an old man with an ordinary figure and not good looks, a big man on the left, and a short and fat man on the right.
Li Bin's complexion changed greatly when he saw it, and he lost his usual arrogance, and said respectfully: "I saw Wu's predecessors in my later life. ”
"Hmm. Even if you know some etiquette, find a quiet place to talk. "The old man was very arrogant, but this place was like his mansion. It's just that Li Bin treated him as a guest, cautious, not daring to offend, and hurriedly ordered the house slave to prepare refreshments in the West Chamber. Yao Ming saw that this old man was a little familiar, and suddenly his face changed, and he suddenly woke up, isn't this the "monopolizing Shandong iron-armed ape" Wu Yaozu!? This person's martial arts are unfathomable, he is a bully who sits on the ground and shares the spoils, rapes and robs on weekdays, and does all kinds of evil, no one dares to take care of the neighboring area, and even the government wants to give him some face. A few years ago, I heard that Wu Yaozu was bumped into by Zhou Dong because he robbed a woman, and he couldn't win the vicious fight, and escaped with a few henchmen and his fellow party members injured. Later, he was wanted by the government, and his whereabouts were unknown for several years. At that time, there was a grapevine that this Wu Yaozu was hidden in the inaccessible area of Lushan, and he swore a heavy oath in front of the gods that he had to take revenge, but he never expected to appear here.
This Wu Yaozu is an extremely vicious outlaw, Yao Ming's face changed continuously, thinking that this trip to the muddy water is too deep, and if he doesn't withdraw, I'm afraid he won't even be able to defeat his bones, thinking of this, he wants to retreat. Who knew that Wu Yaozu's eyes were cold, the short and fat man next to him smiled, and a dart flew out with a flick of his hand, Yao Ming saw the cold light flashing, and when he reacted, he felt a pain in his throat, and his body shook, and he fell down, it turned out that this dart was coated with poison, and it was the key point, Yao Ming was a life at this moment.
"Hmph. It's hard to control these young people. You'd better be less touched. If you have something, just call someone to do it! Wu Yaozu snorted coldly, as if he was teaching Li Bin to teach students. These people blatantly entered Li Bin's mansion, and at a glance, they knew that they didn't take Li Bin, the master, in their eyes at all. Li Bin's face touched slightly, suppressed his anger, and said with a smile: "The old-timers taught it well, and the late life must be kept in mind." ”
"Just remember. In this way, you will not only live a little longer, but you will also be able to cause less trouble for the 'old bodhisattva'! If it weren't for the 'old Bodhisattva' this time, he was scheming and sharp, hum, your life would not be guaranteed! Wu Yaozu smiled coldly, Li Bin's heart tightened, and he hurriedly bowed his head and thanked: "The 'old Bodhisattva' is kind-hearted, and he will definitely keep it in mind in his later life, and he will not slack off where he should be filial." The filial piety that had been prepared earlier was on the way. Also, the old-timers have traveled this long distance, deliberately for the sake of the late life, and the late life is really sorry not to go, tonight in the drunken fairy building has prepared an elegant room, and there are a few new goods that have not yet budded. Please also ask the old-timers to laugh at it. Of course, I also have my own preparations. ”
Li Bin knew that Wu Yaozu was not greedy for money, he was so famous and lustful, and he was ready to deal with it a long time ago. As for Wu Yaozu's two apprentices, they are all good all the way. Sure enough, when Wu Yaozu and his apprentices heard this, a burst of obscenity suddenly flashed in their eyes. Wu Yaozu's wrinkled old face was a little ruddy, and he smiled: "Okay! Unexpectedly, the little master has a heart, then our master and apprentice are welcome. ”
"That's as it should be. However, the 'old Bodhisattva' was also a true god, and he casually charged them with a few crimes, and listed them all as wanted criminals. Presumably, these two men will all become prisoners. The officials in Hebei and Henan are all people of the 'old Bodhisattva', which means that these people will fall into the hands of the 'old Bodhisattva' sooner or later. I heard that the 'old Bodhisattva' has issued a death order, as long as he catches this person and takes those secret documents, he will immediately kill them!! After I get rid of the bandits in Daxingshan, I can rest easy!! ”
As soon as Li Bin finished speaking, a house slave knelt down not far away and reported that the West Chamber was ready.
Li Bin then invited, and Wu Yaozu's master and apprentice were also impatient. After a while, Li Bin and others came to the West Chamber, everyone sat down, Wu Yaozu took a sip of tea, his face was cold, and his eyes were full of resentment and hatred: "Before I came, the 'old Bodhisattva' had an order, saying that this Li Gang has been too arrogant recently, and he has repeatedly opposed him in the court, and he planned to frustrate Li Gang's spirit. Therefore, the 'old Bodhisattva' explained that if Hengjie dared to make trouble with you in Pingyang Mansion, he would be secretly eliminated. This time, it just so happens that my nemesis Zhou Dong is also here, and when tomorrow night, the three of us master and apprentice will take a few more good hands and take action, sneak into Hengjie's mansion, kill this Hengjie, and then lure out Zhou Dong. When you bring troops over, you identify Zhou Dong as a murderer, and chop him into meat sauce as soon as you give an order!! ”
"Good strategy! It's killing two birds with one stone, and it saves a lot of trouble! The old-timers are really good, and the late students admire it very much! When Li Bin heard this, his eyes suddenly burst out with two rays of fine light, and he grinned.
"Humph! Don't be too happy just yet. My sworn enemy is not an ordinary person, and his kung fu has long reached the level of supernatural mastery. If you are not careful, this time you will capsize in the gutter! Wu Yaozu's eyes narrowed into two thin slits, it seemed that he had suffered a lot back then. His two apprentices also looked ugly, resentful, and a little jealous. Li Bin's heart trembled, and he looked anxiously: "Dong is so powerful this week?" Do you need to send more people at the beginning to avoid falling short? ”
"No need, the old thing has extremely good ears, and people who don't have a certain body method are easy to be discovered by him, and it is tiring when there are many people. I'll pick it myself tomorrow, so I won't worry about it. Wu Yaozu's face was cold, and he was very careful.
Li Bin thought to himself that this unattractive old guy could become a celebrity next to the old Bodhisattva, and he must not be an idle person, so he nodded his head and hurriedly smiled flatteringly: "Okay, then everything is according to the instructions of the seniors." ”
At the same time, in the courtyard of Hengjie's mansion, Zhou Tong and Hengjie were drinking wine, and there were several exquisite dishes on the table. Look at that Hengjie, tall and thin, with fine eyes, with a pair of majestic thick eyebrows, this time he drank a glass, he was a little drunk, and sighed: "At present, the court is unreasonable, the traitorous ministers are in power, and they are single-minded and tyrannical, and the year is poor, it is either a drought or a flood." The government only knows how to loot the people's wealth, and does not care about the life or death of the common people, so that the life of the croppers is getting more and more miserable, and there are moans and wails everywhere. That's why we have such a tragic scene today. The internal troubles are getting worse day by day, although my teacher and I are worried about the country and the people, how can Bixia still indulge in fun, and I don't know that the national disaster is approaching. Thinking about Jinbang getting stronger and stronger, he is eyeing me with the intention of annexing my great mountains and rivers. If this continues, I don't know what will happen in the future? It's really hard to teach! ”
Zhou Tong listened, closed his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "I'm old, and I haven't thought about this state affair for a long time." The fate of this country is up to the younger generation. ”
"Sir is really dead to the court!? The teacher and the old general Zong Ze are looking forward to you going back to Bianjing day and night, fighting side by side with you, and defending justice for the society in this world! ”
Heng Jie's face was full of eagerness, Zhou Tong shook his head lightly, with endless vicissitudes in his tone, and muttered: "I am already a useless person, not to mention that the six thieves have controlled the dynasty for many years, even if they go back, where can they stay?" After so many years, I have already figured it out, so let's not talk about it. ”
The moonlight was faint, with a bit of desolation, and a light breeze blew through, with a bit of chill. Hengjie opened his mouth, and somehow, he was going to say a word, but he couldn't say a word, Mochizuki let out a long sigh of goodness, and just poured himself a drink.
"You don't have to. The old man had a disciple who, when he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, had already seen the root of the bane of this world. If this scourge is not eradicated, it will only be a repetition of the mistakes of the past. ”
