Sun Erniang said: "If you want to rescue Cao Zheng's wife, unless you go into the city, trick the livestock of the Street Division out and slaughter them, take the waist card, and then go to the Street Division to bring out the Liu family brothers generously, if it is possible to sneak into the government and end up as a Murong dog thief, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds!" Yang Zhi said: "Erniang is right, this is exactly the truth, but I don't know who to send to the city?" Wu Song said: "My two monks can't go, it's too eye-catching, and it's easy to be recognized; Yang Zhi doesn't say that he has a green face, and there are two lines of gold seals, so he can't go." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The lady of the Cao family is not good at martial arts, so she stayed on the mountain and waited for news. Since it is Brother Cao's wife and uncle, it should be Brother Cao's brother and sister-in-law to go to the rescue, and the brother and sister-in-law of the Zhang family can go to the rescue together, and give grace to the outside of the city to respond, and send a message to the mountain at any time, and I will wait for the army to respond!" Lu Zhishen said: "Brother is really thoughtful! Several people planned again, and when they all found it feasible, they acted according to the plan.
After noon, several people took weapons and brought silver taels, went down the mountain and rode to Qingzhou, arrived at the south gate of Qingzhou City, the sun was just about to set, the city gate was not closed, Shi En stayed outside the city and found a hotel to live, Cao Zheng and Zhang Qing and his wife entered the city. A few people entered the city and entered an inn to rest, and Xiao Er took the reins of the horse and led it to the back trough to feed. Several people had dinner and discussed how to save people. Sun Erniang said: "For today's plan, we must first inquire about the situation of the Liu family brothers, and maybe it is not necessary to return home." Cao Zheng said: "I'll go to the street department to get some silver and inquire about it." After saying that, he took the money and turned to leave. Zhang Qing grabbed it and said: "Brother is so anxious, at this time it is dark and there is a curfew in the city, if it is seen and held by the patrol battalion, it will be another twist and turn, it is better to rest, it is not too late to go back to your father-in-law's house tomorrow." Cao Zheng patted his head and said, "You see I'm in a hurry, let's talk about it tomorrow!" said that he went back to his room, and Zhang Qing and his wife also slept.
Early the next morning, the three of them dressed, washed their faces and brushed their teeth, had a simple bite of breakfast, covered their faces with a hat and led the horse out. Fifty miles from north to south of Qingzhou City, fifty miles from east to west, a few people stayed at the south gate yesterday, but Cao Zheng's father-in-law's house was at the east gate, half an hour had already come, the three of them dismounted at the door, but saw a pair of white funeral lights hanging on both sides of the door. Entering the courtyard, two plain white flags fluttering in the breeze, the word "conjuring" was written on it, Cao Zheng and several people ran into the house in three steps and two steps, there was a big coward in the middle of the house, a big "Dien" word on the wall, a big white flower on the top of the word Dien, and a spirit card on the table under the word "Soul seat of the beloved son Liu Chang." There is a pair of everlasting lamps and candles lit on both sides, and there is a pig's head in the middle, in front of the pig's head is a small incense ding, with a few sticks of incense, and a pair of old couples on the ground in front of the spiritual seat are kneeling and hugging each other and crying, which is Cao Zheng's parents-in-law. Cao Zheng cried and knelt down in front of the second elder, the two elders saw that it was Cao Zheng and separated from each other, and the old lady cried to Cao Zheng: "Chang'er...... It's gone!" a cry of pain rained down tears. Cao Zheng hurriedly held on to him and asked, "How did my brother-in-law die?" I hope that the second elder will make it clear, and revenge will be avenged!" Zhang Qing said: "The old man will tell us what happened, and we will do our best." Cao Zheng helped the second elder up, and the old lady looked at Zhang Qing and asked, "......Who is this?" Cao Zheng introduced: "This is Zhang Qing, the child's righteous brother in Erlong Mountain, and that is the sister-in-law of the Zhang family, Sun Erniang, who all went down the mountain to help." Cao Zheng pointed at Sun Erniang again. Sun Erniang stepped forward and said: "Sun Erniang has seen the second elder, if there is any grievance, it doesn't hurt to talk about it." He helped the two old men to sit on chairs.
Liu Laohan said: "The day before yesterday, Xiao'er Lu saw injustice and the Wu brothers of the street division quarreled a few words, but they were about to be arrested to the street division, the little girl refused to go up and tore and was beaten, the old man heard that he and the little girl went to the street division to ask for someone, Wu Jijiang said: 'Whoever enters the street division, only the dead go out, you wait to collect the body!' but drove my father and daughter out, my father and daughter made trouble at the gate of the street division for a day, but they didn't let people go, and they had no choice but to let the little girl go up the mountain overnight to find Cao Zheng to find a way. Early yesterday morning, my old couple went to ask for someone again, and Wu Jijiang came out again and said: "My street division has always been a place where I come in vertically and go out horizontally, and it is no worse than the Yama Palace! If you want someone, you can return it to you!" The old couple choked up and sobbed silently.
The three of them were angry and annoyed when they heard this, and Cao Zheng was about to go to the street division to fight hard. Sun Erniang stopped and said: "Brother Hugh is reckless, the street division is not independent, but connected to the barracks, how can you and I break through during the day? It is better to transport the coffin out of the city first, let Shi En take the two elders to the mountain, and ask the Wu Song brothers to lead the troops to respond, we will kill the Wu brothers quietly at night, and make an appointment to use fireworks as the number to kill the city gate and return to the mountain together." Cao Zheng said: "The idea is good, but you have to endure it for a few hours!" Zhang Qing said: "Even if you do it now, you may not kill the dog thief, but it will affect the second elder, it is better to send the second elder away first, so that you can use your hands and feet to do a big job, wouldn't it be happy!" Cao Zheng nodded, and several people found two carriages, one cart pulled the cowardice, and the other cart loaded all the family belongings and Cao Zheng's parents-in-law quickly out of the south city gate, found Shi En to tell the story and strategy, Shi En took the second elder and the carriage back to the mountain, and when they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, they left the coffin in Cao Zheng's hotel for the men to take care of, and then invited the old couple of the Liu family to the mountain to meet several leaders, and moved down to the rescue.
After Cao Zheng and the three of them saw Shi En leave, they still went back to the south gate and stayed in the inn, and they were going to kill people just waiting for sunset. After the first watch, the three of them hid their weapons and went to the street division, and when they arrived at the door, two guards looked at it in the dim light and shouted: "Who is walking on the street? Don't you know the curfew? Hurry up and go home!" The three of them wanted to go in directly, but Zhang Qing's eyes suddenly came to an idea, and he smiled and pointed to Sun Erniang and said to the gatekeeper: "The two eldest brothers have worked hard, this is the girl that your eldest brother Wu asked me to send, please give me a good pass." "Although Sun Erniang is thirty-five or sixteen years old, she is a, and her charm still exists, just like she is in her twenties.
Sun Erniang glared at Zhang Qing and thought secretly: "You stupid man, you really didn't take the old lady to heart, why don't you discuss it in advance, I'll let you see that the old lady is not easy to mess with." The two men looked at it and wondered: "The appearance is handsome and lovely, we haven't heard of any girls, they were brought back by the eldest brother of the Wu family himself in the past, and who is that stupid man?" Cao Zheng stepped forward angrily and was about to kill the two, Zhang Qing stopped him and said with a smile: "This stupid man is sending a girl, the girl's feet are small and it is difficult to walk, he is responsible for carrying it, you see how strong it is." As he spoke, he patted Cao Zheng's chest. Sun Er stepped on Zhang Qing's feet angrily, Zhang Qing endured the pain and asked Menzi: "Can you go in now?" Menzi said: "Women can go in, and men stay." Zhang Qing said: "That's not good, this girl is timid and afraid of life, or you go in and report a letter, let the Wu family brother get it himself, these are two small dollars, keep it for tea." Zhang Qing took out two taels of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into Menzi's hand. Sun Erniang also pretended to be afraid of life. Menzi had no choice, and he received benefits, and if he drove the girl away, he was afraid of scolding, so he made a personal gesture and said a word inside.
The Wu brothers were drinking in the front hall, and Wu Jihai listened to the menzi's advice and thought, "I didn't call the girl, did you call me?" Wu Jihai looked at Wu Jijiang. Wu Jijiang hiccuped and said, "I ...... too Wu Jihai said: "That's weird, it's not called, how can we say that we let it?" Wu Jijiang drunk and said: "Whatever about him......! If you can eat it, I'll ask you how that girl looks?" Menzi replied: "The long flowers and moon appearance are comparable to fairies, charming and romantic." Wu Jijiang said again: "I'll put ...... She brought it in...... I stayed with my eldest brother tonight, and my eldest brother was the prefect every day...... It's time to relax...... Relax!" Wu Jihai couldn't help but laugh evilly when he heard it, Wu Jijiang got up with a smile and walked out of the door drunk, and asked the doorkeeper when he arrived at the door, and looked at Sun Erniang with drunken eyes, his soul was about to be hooked away, and no matter if someone was around, he stretched out two salty pig hands to grab Sun Erniang's breasts, Sun Erniang didn't dodge or dodge, and was caught. Wu Jijiangkou was still drunk and said: "Pomegranate...... Under the skirt...... Die, be a ghost...... Also merry. ”
Zhang Qing stared wide-eyed and opened his mouth speechlessly. Cao Zheng looked at it kindly, and shouted: "Hey Mom!" At this time, Sun Erniang pulled out the willow leaf double knife from under her clothes, and stabbed Wu Jijiang's stomach with a cut, the intestines and blood flowed to the ground, and the dead body fell down.
"If you dare to touch the old lady, the old lady will let you die. Sun Erniang pulled out her double knives and scolded. The two gatekeepers just wanted to shout and run to the division, but Zhang Qingcao stepped forward and pulled out their knives and killed them one by one. Zhang Qing turned back to Sun Erniang and said, "You ...... You...... You, he catches you, you ...... Why don't you hide? Wait until you go back to the mountain to settle accounts with you!" Sun Erniang said: "You have given the old lady away, and the old lady is still hiding a fart!" glanced at Zhang Qing. Cao Zheng said: "Strike while the iron is hot, it's too late, I recognize this guy, it's the second Wu Jijiang who died, the boss must be inside, don't get away!" Zhang Qing and his wife also rushed into the street division with knives, killing people when they saw them, chopping people when they met them, Zhang Qing grabbed a city official and forced him to ask with a knife: "Where is Wu Jihai?" The city official said: "I am eating wine in the hall inside!" Zhang Qing slashed the city official with a knife. Cao Zheng rushed into the hall of the street division first, and Zhang Qingsun Erniang also followed, each holding a knife and looking at Wu Jihai. Wu Jihai was already half drunk and dazed, and when he heard someone come in, he thought Wu Jijiang was back, and asked with a big tongue: "Auntie...... Feeling that no one was talking, Wu Jihai opened his drunken eyes and looked, but saw three people each holding a steel knife, covered in blood, and suddenly woke up most of the wine, and got up and shouted: "Who trespassed into the street division?" As soon as he finished asking, he saw the three of them striding over, Wu Jihai wanted to run to the backyard, but because he drank too much, he was staggering and heavy, and was surrounded by Cao Zheng, Zhang Qing, and Sun Erniang. A few people found a lamp and candle to set the street division on fire, and the smoke billowed and the flames rose into the air. The three of them went out and threw Wu Jijiang into the sea of fire, and went straight to the south city gate, the four gates of Qingzhou have street divisions, not far from the city gates, a few people came to the city gate after a while, the four military guards guarding the gate saw the fire on the side of the street division, and saw three people running with blood all over their bodies, and each of them shouted: "What people? The three of them couldn't help but say that they had killed four military soldiers, put down the bolt wood and opened the city gate, Wu Song Shien led the soldiers to see the fire outside the city, and they knew that they could come to answer, but they saw the city gate wide open, and the three ran out. Wu Song stepped forward and asked, "How is the matter?" Cao Zheng said: "I have already succeeded, and the killing is really enjoyable!" Zhang Qing said: "The two dog thieves of the Wu family are dead, let's go back to the mountain quickly!" At this time, the defenders of the city saw that the city gate was opened, and a few soldiers died, so they blew the yak horn, woo...... Woo...... Whine. Shi En said, "If you have been discovered, let's go quickly! The five leaders led the troops to leave, and a team of officers and soldiers rushed behind the city gate avenue, and the two generals who led the troops were in gold armor and red robes, riding on white horses, and shouted with phoenix wings and gold boring: "Thief Kou Xiu is leaving!" It was the fifth and sixth brothers of the Feng family. As soon as the two of them arrived here after patrolling the city, they saw the flames rising from the street, and they heard the horn of the city gate, and knew that it was not good, so they led the troops to chase after them, and when they saw Wu Song and others leaving, they urgently ordered the crossbowmen in the city to release arrows. Arrows rained down, the five commanders were blocked by the shield hand and the arrows retreated, the bow and crossbow could not be shot, Feng Fei and Phoenix led the troops out of the city to chase, and the officers and soldiers each had a torch in the night sky like a fire dragon, seeing that they caught up. Wu Song said: "You retreat quickly, I will cut off the queen." Shi En said: "I will stay too, Brother Cao, Zhang Qing and his wife will leave quickly!"
The officers and soldiers caught up and committed suicide, fighting and retreating, and finally got rid of the officers and soldiers after half an hour, but when the number of people was counted, they found that Shi En was lost in the panic, Wu Song thought that Shi En was killed by the rebel army, and wanted to go back and fight hard, but was stopped by everyone. Cao Zheng said: "Grace may not be fine, it is better to go back to Baozhu Temple first, inform the two leaders of Lu Yang, and then make an idea." Several people dragged Wu Song back to the mountain.
When they arrived at the Juyi Hall on the mountain, it was getting dark, Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi didn't sleep all night, just waiting for the news from Qingzhou, and just waiting for a few people to lead the troops back to Baozhu Temple to tell the story in person. Lu Zhishen said: "Although the great revenge has been avenged, but it has broken the Shi'en brothers, how can there be so many branches! If the Sprinkle family had gone down the mountain in person, this incident might not have happened!" Yang Zhi said: "Brother, don't be sad, Shi'en's life and death cannot be guessed, first send someone to Qingzhou to inquire, and then do the district." Lu Zhishen said: "Yes, go and inquire first." Then he sent a henchman to Qingzhou to inquire. A day later, the minions returned to the mountain and went to the Juyi Hall of Baozhu Temple to report to the six leaders: "The little one inquired in Qingzhou, but I didn't hear any news that Brother Shi had been captured or killed. Wu Song just frowned. Yang Zhiyi waved his hand to let the minions go down, and said: "The news has been discovered, Brother Shi'en has not been arrested and has not died, and he will definitely live in the world safe and sound. Lu Zhishen sent another twenty or thirty minions to various places in Qingzhou to inquire about the news of grace.
