Chapter 344: Loyalty, Filial Piety, and Righteousness

Zhang Bao returned to the inn, took some broken silver, walked to the garment store, bought a few old clothes, bought a basket, sent someone to prepare some snacks and wine, changed old clothes, put on a pair of straw sandals, and went to Dali Temple.

When he came to Dali Temple and met a military man, Zhang Bao called softly: "The master inside, the villain has something to say." ”

The jailer came up and asked, "What do you have to say?"

Zhang Bao said: "The master came over a little. ”

The jailer walked to the fence, and Zhang Bao said in a low voice: "There is a Marshal Yue inside, who is my old master, I have eaten his grain, and I have returned it due to illness." Today, I came to deliver food to him, and I talked about a little selfishness. In addition, there are some small gifts here, for the two grandfathers to buy refreshments to eat, and it is convenient for Brother Wangcha. ”

When the officials inside heard this, they took the silver, checked it, and there were three or four taels of silver, and thought to themselves: "Wang Neng and Li Zhi, the two prime ministers, once instructed that if someone from the Yue family came to visit, they must be thorough and earn him three or four taels of silver." ”

"This Marshal Yue is Prime Minister Qin's sworn enemy, and Prime Minister Qin will send people to inquire from time to time. I'll let you in secretly, and you must not speak loudly, lest the people of Xiangye hear it and disturb us. The leader said.

Zhang Bao listened and agreed: "This is natural. ”

The jailer opened the cell door, and Zhang Bao walked in, and he said to the jailer, "Do you know who I am?"

The jailer took a closer look at Zhang Bao, who had bent his back and bowed outside just now, and stood up straight when he entered the prison door, but he was tall and mighty, and he was simply a different person.

When the jailer saw this, he said, "Uncle, aren't you deliberately harming us?"

"Brother Cha, don't panic, I'm no one else, I'm Zhang Bao in front of the Bianliang General Soldiers. ”

When the jailer heard this, he hurriedly knelt down: "It turned out to be Master Zhang, the villain doesn't know, I hope the lord spares the villain's life." ”

Zhang Bao said: "Brother Cha, don't be afraid, I won't harm you, as long as you tell where Marshal Yue is." ”

"For the sake of Uncle Yue, the prime minister built ten new cells, called Lei, Ting, Shi, Hao, Ling, Xing, Dou, Huan, Wen, and Zhang, and Uncle Yue and the two little generals were in the Zhangzi cell. ”

"Now that Brother Cha knows, then please take me there to have a look. ”

The jailer stood up, looked at the wine and food in the basket again, and said hesitantly, "Master, ...... this wine and food?"

Zhang Bao replied: "Don't worry, we are all heroes, and we will never harm your life." The jailer was relieved when he heard this, he went in first to make a report, and then took Zhang Bao inside.

Zhang Bao walked into the prison cell, only to see Yue Fei in a green coat and a small hat, sitting in the middle with Ni Prison Officer talking, while Yue Yun and Zhang Xian were sitting below in handcuffs and shackles. Zhang Bao stepped forward and saw the scarred Yue Fei, knelt down on his knees, and shouted, "Master, why did you fall into such a field?"

Yue Fei was surprised when he saw Zhang Bao suddenly arrive, and asked, "You are not an official in Bianliang, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Bao said: "The villain is unwilling to be an official, and has abandoned his post and returned to Tangyin. I heard that Mrs. Sister-in-law said that the Major General and General Zhang also came to the capital, Mrs. Sister-in-law was not at ease, so I asked Lin'an to inquire about the news, but I didn't expect the three of you to be here, what the hell is going on?"

After Zhang Bao finished speaking, he asked, Yue Fei listened and complained: "Brother, since you don't want to be an official, you should retreat to the mountains and forests, you shouldn't come to this kind of place, this is not a place to stay for a long time, you should leave quickly." ”

Zhang Bao said: "Big brother, don't complain, Zhang Bao came to inquire about your news this time, secondly, to bring you food, and thirdly, to invite you out." ”

Yue Fei listened and shouted: "Zhang Bao, you have followed Ben Shuai to fight for many years, don't you know that I am loyal to the imperial court? If you want me to go out, you must have the holy decree of the imperial court. You don't need to say much, since you have come to see me, don't live up to your kindness, and bring wine and food to receive your love. Hurry up and get out, don't hurt this Ni Engong. ”

Zhang Bao sent the wine and rice up, Yue Fei used a glass of wine, and told Zhang Bao to go out quickly, Zhang Bao walked down and said to Yue Yun and Zhang Xian: "Two generals, don't you want to go out too?"

Yue Yun and Zhang Xian said: "Be loyal to your ministers and filial piety to your son, since your father-in-law doesn't go out, how can the two of us go out?"

Zhang Bao listened to it and said ashamedly: "It's the villain who lost his words, and the villain also respects the two of them for a cup." ”

Yue Yun and Zhang Xian said: "Take your love, do it!"

Seeing such a heroic momentum and touching scene, the prison officer and the jailer Ni all cried and said: "It's rare, it's rare, it's really a loyal and filial son." ”

Yue Fei saw that Zhang Bao had not left for a long time, and urged: "Zhang Bao, you go out quickly, don't embarrass the jailers and let them be affected." ”

Zhang Bao had no intention of leaving, and said, "Marshal, the villain still has something to say." ”

So Zhang Bao stepped forward and knelt down again and said: "Zhang Bao is promoted by the master, and he can't serve the master to the end of his life." Although the villain is a stupid person, is he not as good as Wang Heng? How can he bear to see the old man being wronged today, it is better to go to the underworld and wait for the old man to serve. ”

After Zhang Bao finished speaking, he stood up and slammed his head against the wall, only to hear a sound, his head was broken, his brain burst out and he died, Yue Yun and Zhang Xian saw Zhang Bao's tragic scene, and they were immediately grief-stricken. When the jailers saw this scene, they couldn't help but secretly admire Zhang Bao's loyalty, and they were very sad in their hearts. Only Yue Fei saw Zhang Bao's tragic death, and laughed: "Good Zhang Bao, good Zhang Bao, died a well-deserved death, died a heroic death." ”

Prison Officer Ni asked in amazement: "This Chief Master Zhang came all the way to see the marshal aggrieved, so he crashed into the wall and died. Marshal, if you don't pity him, why did you laugh?"

Yue Fei said: "Engong, you don't know, we already have loyalty, filial piety, and festival, but we lack a righteous word. As soon as Zhang Bao dies today, isn't it true that the four words of loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness are complete?" After speaking, he cried loudly, and everyone was in tears.

After Zhang Bao went to his death, Yue Fei first laughed and then cried. He laughed at the four words of loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, and cried because Zhang Bao was loyal to him and died generously for a righteous word. The jailers were moved by Zhang Bao's righteousness, and they were all saddened, Yue Fei asked Ni Wan to bury Zhang Bao's body well, and Ni Wan agreed.

At that time, there were two rich men in Lin'an City, who were originally gentlemen who were studying, one surnamed Wang Mingneng and the other surnamed Li Mingzhi, and the two of them knew that Yue Fei was aggrieved, so they made money for Yue Fei. The jailer got the money, took care of Yue Fei in many ways, cleaned the stick sores for Yue Fei, and applied medicine.

The prison officer Ni Wanyuan was a good person, he had some friendship with Wang Neng and Li Zhi, and immediately sent someone to find Wang Neng and Li Zhi and tell them about Zhang Bao's death, and the two were also very emotional and agreed to the request. The jailer carried the corpse behind until dusk, Wang Neng and Li Zhi carried the coffin, hung the corpse from the wall, collected the burial and nailed, and wrote on the head of the village that Zhang Gongzhi, the chief soldier of Bianliang, told his confidants to carry him out of the city and put it in the snail shell by the West Lake. Poor Zhang Bao served Yue Fei for so many years, and how much credit he made before he could win a future; he didn't want to be an official, so he died in prison.

Emperor Gaozong pretended to be a merchant on this day, and asked Qin Hui to disguise himself as a companion, and the two monarchs and ministers wandered around Lin'an City. Qin Hui pretended to be a buddy, followed Gaozong everywhere for a while, and accidentally came to the door of Longyin Nunnery, only to see many people surrounded there who didn't know what to do. Gaozong and Qin Hui went into the crowd to take a look, but it was a Mr. Word Splitter, with a sign that read CD Xie Runfu touching the machine, propping up a tent, setting up a table, and was there to dismantle words for people.

Gaozong stood at the table, watched him tear down a few words, and felt that it was reasonable, so he stepped forward and sat down and said, "Sir, also open a word for me." ”

Mr. Xie Shi said: "What character does Mr. want to dismantle? Gaozong casually wrote a spring character and handed it to Xie Shi.

Xie Shi said: "What a spring word, as the saying goes, spring is the first year old." The foot is by no means an ordinary person, and everything is spring, including four hours and eight festivals, what is the gentleman asking?"

Gaozong said: "Is the future of life good?"

Xie Shi replied: "Good, good, good, rich, expensive, unspeakably expensive." But there is a word, Qin's head is too heavy, and the sun is overwhelmed, if there is a person surnamed Qin, remember not to reuse him, I am afraid it will harm him in his hands, remember, remember. ”

Gaozong stretched out his hand and took out a piece of silver from his side, thanked Mr., stood up, and whispered to Qin Hui: "Aiqing also tried to dismantle a word." ”

Qin Hui was helpless, wrote a ghost word casually, handed it to Xie Shi, and Xie Shi said, "What is this gentleman asking?"

Qin Hui said: "It is also a lifelong future." ”

Xie Shi said: "Although the ghost character has the peace of Mount Tai, the two silk characters in the middle are entangled, only called Shuanglong clavicle, and the corpse is gone." Although it is good now, I am afraid that it will be old and bad in the future, and it will decline if it is hard, so it is better to find a way out earlier. ”

Qin Hui said: "Thank you for the reminder. He also sent some silver and left quietly with Gaozong.

Among them, some of them recognized the two of them, and reminded in a low voice: "Although you gentleman has broken the word well, I am afraid that it will be a disaster, and the first one is today, and the second is Prime Minister Qin." How can they forgive you when you say these words?"

Another said, "Let's go away, don't talk about it here, don't get involved." When they heard this, they dispersed.

Xie Shi thought, "Not good!" so he abandoned the tent and fled in a hurry.

Qin Hui accompanied Gaozong back to the court, resigned and returned home, and immediately sent his family to arrest the word splitter. The family was ordered to be busy fetching people, and when they got there, they saw that there was no one left. The family came back to restore his life, so Qin Hui sent people to look everywhere, but there was no trace of him, and he was arrested for three or four days in a row, but he still found nothing.
