It is the nature of dogs to please their masters, but no matter how smart a dog is, it cannot recognize the hypocrisy and disguise of people.

Zhao Kuangyin saw Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi complaining, he was angry in his heart, and he didn't answer, grabbed the candle on the altar by the wall, and lit it in front of the brocade tent.

The brocade tent ignited and spread rapidly, and in an instant thick smoke billowed and flames raged.

Zhao Kuangyin set fire to create chaos, but he didn't expect to cause trouble to himself.

In the face of smoke and fire, the first thing to do is to force yourself to stay calm, quickly familiarize yourself with the environment, and find an exit. But in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the army, the three of them were already busy, and now they have added to the fire, and they are even more panicked.

Zhao Kuangyin first rushed up the stairs, saw that the downstairs was like a forest of knives and guns, and there were black crows and crows, and he turned around and wanted to break through the window.

Shi Shouxin pulled some unburning brocade tent to knot the rope and crossed the window, the brocade tent was pulled down, and before it was torn, the fire had rushed down the brocade tent to him.

Wang Xianqi was even more chaotic, like a headless fly. He looked at this window, looked at that window, and couldn't find any window to jump down, and the fire had sealed all the windows.

Although the fire had not yet burned the ceiling, carpet, and floor, the billowing smoke from the brocade tent had left the three of them breathless.

The three men opened their mouths and gasped and rolled their eyes, and were lying limp on the ground waiting for death, when three soldiers suddenly rushed in from the thick smoke on one side.

The three soldiers wore wet clothes on their heads, held waist knives, and rushed to Zhao Kuangyin with their cats.

Zhao Kuangyin wanted to resist, but his body just jumped up hard, and then fell back to the ground.

He was about to close his eyes and wait for death, when the soldiers led by him suddenly took off the wet clothes on his head and shouted, "Young Master, it's me!" Without waiting for a reply, he had already removed the wet clothes on his head and covered Zhao Kuangyin's head.

The doorman Meng Sheng put Zhao Kuangyin and the three of them into the courtyard, and his heart was like fifteen buckets to draw water, and there was no moment of peace in the seven up and down.

Listening to the loud bells and drums upstairs, he knew that something was wrong, and before he could figure out how to deal with it, there was already a fight upstairs. The guards of the courtyard were dispatched, and several more lives were added to the battle, and he was even more anxious like an ant on a hot pot, spinning in circles.

People often refer to servile people as dogs, and this metaphor is very apt.

Dogs are always thinking about their owners and anxious about their owners. The master said to the east, but it would never go west, and the master told the duck to bite, but it would not go to the chicken. However, humans are complex animals and often need to be disguised and disguised, which causes a lot of tragedy for dogs. For example, the owner sometimes wants to go west, but when he has to say east in order to hide something, he will obediently go east, and the result is, of course, a thankless effort and a kick.

Someone once told a story about a dog who was so loyal to his owner that he had repeatedly fought with wolves and thieves to protect his owner, and was scarred. One day, when he went out with his master, a man pointed at his master and scolded his mother, and then slapped his master with a shave in the ear. The master was beaten and his face was covered in blood, and he kept nodding his head. The dog felt that the man had insulted his master, so he rushed forward and bit the man's leg.

However, unexpectedly, the owner was startled at first, and then he pulled out his waist knife and wiped it off the dog's neck without hesitation.

The dog did not know that the man was the master's boss, until the dog's head fell to the ground, and he looked surprised.

A dog's loyalty is the result of long-term training with a bone and a leather whip. At the beginning, it was just to get a bone, long-term training, and habitual nature, and it formed a conditioned reflex, not to give bones, not to use a whip, it also looked at the face of the master, and worked hard for the interests of the master. It can be said that it has become the nature of a dog to please its master, and sometimes there is no command from the master at all, and it will also attack according to its own observation and understanding to defend the master.

Meng Sheng, the door official, is such a loyal and good dog. At present, thinking about his boss is already his habitual thinking.

In order to curry favor with his boss Zhao Hongyin, he violated the rules and let Zhao Kuangyin and the three of them enter the royal hook column, which was a big mistake. The three of them went to the flower building to pretend to be the emperor and came, beating drums and ringing bells, and Nule found that she should have fled, but she used force to kill many people in a row. The incident snowballed, and Meng Sheng's own dereliction of duty was difficult to get rid of, but he still considered it from the perspective of his boss Zhao Hongyin.

"It's such a big deal, if Zhao Gongzi is caught. Not only is it difficult to protect the life of Zhao Gongzi, but I am afraid that Lord Zhao will also be affected! How can this be good?"

When Zhao Kuangyin killed Nule and many soldiers, and set the fire again, Meng Sheng became even more anxious: "Oops, this matter is even bigger! The emperor is angry and wants to destroy the nine clans! Lord Zhao is crippled this time!"

Of course, what he was thinking about was Zhao Hongyin, and deep in his subconscious, it was the power bones that Zhao Hongyin could control in his hands.

The greater the effort, the bigger and more bones will be rewarded, which is the experience he has accumulated over the years.

Meng Sheng was originally a soldier for more than ten years, competing for the first place in training, being on duty, and rushing to do the dirty work, but he was still like his name, and he was promoted in his dream. That time, Zhao Hongyin went to Yugoulan to inspect the police, and he just put an umbrella on Zhao Hongyin's head in a timely manner to cover the sun that was not too strong. Zhao Hongyin just smiled at him and said, "This kid is very clever and very eye-catching!" The accompanying military leader took it to heart and gave him a promotion report, so that he quickly got a "section-level" official position and became a door official.

Although the "section rank" is a low-level official position in the army, it is only equivalent to the level of platoon commander in later generations, but it is above dozens of people, and he tastes the majesty of giving orders and the flattery of his subordinates; and he also has some oil and water to be fished out in attendance, work records, praise, criticism, fines, welfare subsidies, and so on, so that he has profoundly experienced the superiority of being an official.

It's just that he wagged his tail and begged for a favor, and he got a bone with meat, and now if he saves Zhao Kuangyin's life, that is, he saves Zhao Hongyin's official position and saves his whole family, and the return of this life-saving grace is not only a bone, but I am afraid that it may be possible to give a whole chicken and a whole duck!

Once invested, you will benefit for life. Although the risk is very high, with his identity as a royal hook gate official, he is still somewhat sure that he can do it.

He decided to take a gamble.

He reprimanded the two soldiers guarding the gate, Pan Ti and Yao Guan: "That, look at the two of you poking this hole today! There is a rule at the gate that no one can enter without a ticket, not to mention that there is no performance today, and if you have a ticket, you can't let them in? You are on duty, how can you let them in? Don't give me a reason to say that he is a forced break-in! No matter who he is, if he dares to make trouble, he will be arrested, this is your right and responsibility! You should not find a reason to say that he did it! Even if he took a knife, is the guy in your hand an ornament? Now it's okay, they pretended to be the emperor, killed people and set fires, and caused a big case! You two can't escape the crime of killing your heads, wait for the execution ground!"

The official level crushed people to death. In the face of their bosses, how could Pan Ti and Yao Guan, the two lowest-level pawns, dare to argue? Not to mention that today it is indeed the two of them on duty, how can the two of them understand it?

Meng Sheng saw that he frightened the two of them, so he softened his tone and said: "Don't wipe your tears, I haven't finished talking yet! Although the two of you are on duty and standing guard, I am the leader and I am also responsible! We are now grasshoppers on a rope, we can run if we want to run, and we have to die if we want to die! Even if there is someone above to help me speak, I will have to be imprisoned for at least ten or eight years!"

Seeing Meng Sheng's tone softened, Pan Ti begged, "My lord, you are well-informed, hurry up and think of a way, right?"

Yao Guan begged: "Or, you can take the two of us to run together!"

"Run, where are you going? When the whole country is wanted, where can I catch you?" Meng Shengjian scared both of them stupidly, so he brought out the idea he had already thought of: "The only way we can survive now is to rescue Zhao Gongzi." Zhao Gongzi escaped, and we didn't admit to entering through the gate we guarded. Without direct responsibility, the crime has been cut in half. More importantly, saving Zhao Gongzi is saving his father, Lord Zhao, as long as Lord Zhao does not lose his official position, isn't it easy to fish out the three of us?"

After all, it was already a crime of killing the head, and of course Pan Ti and Yao Guan were willing to make a desperate bet, and they all nodded in agreement.

Meng Sheng was afraid that the enthusiasm of the two was not high, and he made a wish that as long as Zhao Kuangyin was saved, he could ask Zhao Hongyin to reward everyone with a "long line" official position. "Changxing" is quite a squad leader in the army in later generations, although it is the lowest level of military rank, but it is not fishy is a piece of meat, and it is finally an "official".

Pan Ti and Yao Guanjian saw that they could not only avoid trouble, but also hope to become officials, so they naturally spared no effort and made suggestions with all their hearts.

The three of them discussed specific measures and began to act.

Meng Sheng prepared a set of old military clothes, and asked Pan Ti and Yao Guan to prepare a set to hide in their arms, and then took the two of them to defend the emperor and capture the gangsters.

At this moment, Meng Sheng put the wet clothes on Zhao Kuangyin's head and ordered Pan Ti and Yao Guan: "Let the eldest young master go first!

While Meng Sheng was commanding in his mouth, he had already set up Zhao Kuangyin and came to the place where the emperor's seat was placed, pressed the knob, and opened a secret door.

In order to prevent sudden accidents, there is a special secret security passage behind the "dragon chair" of the emperor of the Royal Hook Fence, and Meng Sheng is one of the leaders of the security work of the Royal Hook Fence, of course, he is familiar with it.

Meng Sheng put Zhao Kuangyin into the passage and went down the hanging ladder to the basement. Zhao Kuangyin left the sea of fire, inhaled some fresh air, and quickly relieved himself.

Meng Sheng took out the military uniform in his arms, pointed to the exit not far away, and said: "Young Master, outside the front exit is a rockery cave, and outside the cave is a garden, you change into military clothes, go out and hide in the flowers, and find an opportunity to blend in with the firefighting soldiers, and you can get out safely!"

At this time, Pan Ti and Yao Guan were holding Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi, who were already half-unconscious, and they followed closely behind.

Meng Sheng asked Pan Ti and Yao Guan to take out the military uniforms they had prepared, and asked Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi to also dress up, and then led the three to the exit of the tunnel.

Zhao Kuangyin had already climbed two or three steps, as if he suddenly remembered something, and turned back.

"What else does the eldest young master command?" Meng Sheng asked.

"You three took such a risk, I haven't asked your name yet!"

Remember the name to explain to Lord Zhao, and Lord Zhao will find an opportunity to give the official. When the three of them saw Zhao Kuangyin asking for their names, they all thought that it was the grace of dripping water to repay the spring, and this life-saving grace should be repaid by the river, and they rushed to report their names.

"My name is Meng Sheng, a native of Dingzhou, Hebei, please remember it!"

"My name is Pan Ti, a native of Qingzhou, Shandong, please remember it!"

"My name is Yao Guan, a native of Wujiadian in Shaanzhou, please remember it!"

"Okay, I have written down the life-saving grace of the three of them, and I will tell my father in the future and try my best to promote them!" Zhao Kuangyin's words fell, and the dragon stick suddenly waved. He held the stick in his hand, used the long and short arms, and attacked the two in turn, and Meng Sheng and Pan Ti had already blossomed in their heads. As soon as Yao Guan turned around and ran away, Zhao Kuangyin had already let go of the dragon stick and chased him, hitting him on the back of the head, and he also went to the king of Hades to ask for an official.

Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi were all stunned.

"Keeping it is a bane!" Zhao Kuangyin said to himself while collecting the dragon stick.

Probably in order to appease his conscience, and to make Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi understand, Zhao Kuangyin defended the still wriggling corpses of the gatekeepers Meng Sheng, Pan Ti and Yao Guan: "Three brothers, rest in peace! It's not that I'm ruthless, it's the needs of the overall situation! The Kaifeng Mansion's fast hunting is not vegetarian, and you can't escape their pursuit." It's not that I don't believe you, it's that I'm afraid that you won't be tortured. Rather than let you live and die at that time, I still have to say that it is better to let you achieve positive results as soon as possible. In this way, you are obviously loyal and righteous heroes who bravely fight gangsters, and you secretly protect the title of loyal servants of my Zhao family, and you can be regarded as a well-deserved death! I will tell my father and let him do his best to deal with you, report you as loyal and righteous heroes, and try my best to win an official title for you! You can leave with confidence! My Zhao family will not treat you badly!"

Zhao Kuangyin's words were very emotional, and Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi were "moved" very much.

Shi Shouxin cautiously followed: "The three of them have worked hard all their lives, and it is impossible to become an official." In this way, they have become 'loyal heroes', and the emperor will give them a title of 'deputy envoy of courage' or something, and then let their uncle give their families more pensions, and their names will be profitable, and they can be regarded as carp jumping into the dragon gate, and finally mixed up!"

Wang Xianqi trembled secretly, and at the same time echoed: "Yes, yes, they can be regarded as the ancestral grave with green anger, and they have ascended to the sky in one step! It is worth dying! Where can I find this good thing?"

Zhao Kuangyin sneered, glanced at the two of them, and ordered: "Xianqi explores the way, keep the promise, let's go!"

The three cats went up the stairs from the basement exit, opened the hole cover, and came to the garden rockery cave, and saw that many soldiers came and went to fetch water in the garden pool to fight the fire, so they mixed forward, whether it was a pot or a bucket, each showed infinite loyalty to the emperor, took the initiative to fight the fire, looked for an opportunity to grab one, and then mixed to the door that needed to go out to fetch water, escaped from the royal hook fence, and ran home respectively.

Although Zhao Kuangyin said that he killed the door official and the gate guard, he thought that there were a lot of pedestrians he saw when he beat people at the gate of the royal hook fence, so he decided to hide it from his parents and fled to his uncle Du Ergong to avoid the limelight temporarily, so as not to be verbose to find and ask about it.

He came to the back door of his house, climbed over the wall to enter, walked through the back garden, and quietly returned to the room, and saw that his wife He Jincian was still sleeping with his son in his arms, and he did not wake up, brought a large-brimmed hat, changed into a night clothes, tied up a dragon stick, and found some fragmentary silver taels in the bedside table as a plate fee, and still went over the wall and was discharged.

Although there are many patrols on the streets, Zhao Kuangyin wanders all year round, and there is nothing unfamiliar with the streets and alleys. He chose secluded alleys and crossed walls when he couldn't get through. When he sneaked to the root of the city, he found a sewer, pried the rotten wooden fence, got through, and hurried all the way to his uncle.

If you want to know what happened, please watch the next time: two heroes against each other.
