Neihuang North Gate, Qi Gong with more than a dozen subordinates, pushing Jiangzhou car slowly over, Neihuang City needs a lot of firewood and grass, and Zhao Zhen is not many people, can not besiege the city on all sides, so the north gate will be opened every day for a period of time, allowing the surrounding farmers to enter the city, transporting firewood, grass, and miscellaneous grains.

In order to prevent Zhao Zhen's people from mixing into the city, Deng Lu, the prefect of Neihuang, specially ordered the city to arrest the envoy Geng Xing led 30 servants, 100 native soldiers stationed at the north gate, the city gate only opened the city every day, Si, noon three hours to open the city, after these three hours are not allowed to go out, not allowed to enter, each person who enters the inner Huang, there must be four residents of the city as a guarantee, in order to enter the city, if you can't get out of the city on time, all concentrated in the north of the city Yue Temple temporarily, if there are people walking in the city indiscriminately, they will be arrested on the spot, and the resisters will be killed immediately.

Qi Gong took people to the edge of the city, this will be the time, there is a long queue outside the city gate, all of them are going to enter the city, one of Qi Gong's subordinates went around, the rules of entering the city were heard, and then came back to explain to Qi Gong, and then worried: "Big brother, how can we find someone to be a guarantor?" ”

Qi Gong also frowned, if it was just one or two people, it would be good to find a way to mix up, there are more than a dozen people here, how can they mix.

Qi Gong looked around and said, "But take a look first, if it doesn't work, just take the money and open the way." ”

As he was talking, a small group of woodcutters came over, carrying burdens on their shoulders, full of bundles of firewood and grass, far away, they drank in all directions, drove people away, and a few of them were slow to hide, and the woodcutter at the head was walking empty-handed, and he pulled out a dry wood from the burden of a woodcutter behind him, and hit people, and he frowned, and asked the people around him: "This person is just a firewood seller, why is he so arrogant?" ”

Qi Gong asked an old man, he shook his head and said: "The guest doesn't know, that person is the Qianjiaji of the Inner Yellow City, the Qian Jiaji is the most withered grass and dry wood, is the main source of firewood and grass in our Inner Huangcheng, this kid is also surnamed Qian, called Qian Tietou, the most domineering, his brother-in-law is the Confucius in the house, he relied on this momentum, he dominated the firewood and grass business, every day the Qian family set firewood and grass are supplied by him, the money has to reach his hand, in order to distribute downward, occupy the majority, and ....... The old man pointed forward when he said this: "You see, when he passed, the officers and soldiers did not check, and they did not want his guarantors, and they did not even need to be platooned. ”

Qi Gong's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Uncle, thank you very much." After laughing, the old man looked at Qi Gong strangely, and he really didn't know what he was laughing at.

Qi Gong smiled and saw that Qian Tietou was about to walk over, hurriedly came back and greeted his own people, pulled the Jiangzhou car and ran, several of them were good at walking, and quickly caught up with Qian Tietou and them, Qi Gong threw his car to a brother, and then leaned over, and arched his hand towards Qian Tietou and said: "Qian Lizheng." ”

Qian Tietou rolled his eyes and said, "Which one are you?" ”

Qi Gong said with a smile on his face: "The villain came from Zhending Mansion to sell walnuts, and in previous years he supplied the old customers of the Inner Huang, but I didn't expect that today I couldn't enter the Inner Yellow City. ”

Qian Tietou sneered and said, "Who are you?" Grandpa doesn't recognize you, and takes you into the city indiscriminately, if there is any size, but what should you do! ”

Qi Gong smiled and said, "Naturally, we can't let the money go to waste." ”

Qian Tietou's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart: "If he has someone for me, then I will take it first, and then when I go to the edge of the city, I only say that I don't recognize him, and I want to come to him, a foreigner, can he still bite my bird." Then he said, "Then what is your reasoning, but tell me about it." ”

Qi Gong looked at the woodcutters behind Qian Tietou, Qian Tietou immediately understood, and walked a few steps to the side, Qi Gong followed, the two of them got close, and the people around them couldn't see what they were going to do, so Qi Gong whispered: "The villain has his own filial piety for you here." Saying that, he stretched out his hand to his arms, and took out a short knife in his arms, grabbed the collar of Qian Tietou with his left hand and pulled it into his arms, and the short knife shook in front of Qian Tietou's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Don't speak, or I'll let you know how the dead word is written!" ”

Qian Tie's head and legs were weak, so he sat down, and said uncontrollably: "Grandpa spares his life, the small one doesn't want to benefit, just take grandpa in." ”

Qi Gong sneered, put his ear and said, "Let your people put down all the firewood and grass." After saying that, he pulled Qian Tietou back, and the two of them stuck to it, and the knife was against his waist, and Qian Tietou didn't dare to move, nor did he dare to say, and when he got to the woodcutter's side, he trembled and said: "You put down all the firewood and grass." ”

The woodcutters were at a loss, but they all put down all the firewood and grass, and bowed to their men, and those people came to carry firewood and grass, and threw them on the Jiangzhou car, covering the sacks on it.

The woodcutters didn't know what was wrong, and one of the more daring ones came over and said to Qian Tietou: "Great official, this firewood and grass have been given to them, what should we do?" ”

Qi Gong smiled gently at those woodcutters: "A few people, I want to borrow a few firewood and grass here, and the officials have already agreed, so please go back first." As he spoke, he took out a small purse in his arms and said, "There are some silver coins here, and a few cents will be used as firewood money." ”

The woodcutter had the courage to pick up the little purse, opened it and looked at it, and saw that it was full of scattered silver, as many as seven or eight taels, and each of them could get more than half a tael, so he couldn't help but be surprised, so he looked at Qian Tietou, and Qi Gong saw what he meant, so he said: "You just have to go, Qian Daguan is here, I have another benefit." ”

Qian Tietou only felt that the knife on his waist turned, and a cool air came through from behind, and he couldn't help but feel cold, and hurriedly shouted: "Let you go, let's go quickly, what else to say, be careful that you don't let you send firewood and grass tomorrow." ”

The woodcutters did not dare to say much, so they hurried away with their poles.

Qian Tietou said cautiously towards Qi Gong: "This big brother, the villain will lead you into Neihuang, but you have eyes under the knife, don't use force." ”

He smiled and said: "Lao Tzu's knife has eyes, but it depends on your mouth, if your mouth says more or less, then my knife will have no eyes!" ”

Qian Tietou secretly complained, so he had to be escorted by Qi Gong, and went forward, Qi Gong and they learned from Qian Tietou's appearance, and drank and moved forward along the way, driving everyone away, and arrived in front of the gate of Neihuang City, the arrest envoy Geng Xing was sitting on a rocking chair in the city gate cave and pretending to sleep, Qian Tietou took two steps, and an exaggerated smile suddenly appeared on his face, so he beckoned: "Geng observes, the little brother is here!" As he spoke, he walked forward, grabbed him violently, and the knife pushed forward, and the tip of the knife pierced into his flesh, and then wiped it with his hand, wiping all the blood on Qian Tietou's clothes.

Qian Tietou's body froze, and he said to him: "Grandpa, the villain doesn't want to harm you, the villain and Na Geng are friends, and they are like this every time they meet." ”

He smiled and said, "You don't want to look like this this time, otherwise there will be a few transparent holes in your waist first." ”

"Big brother, that's observed!" A big man shouted in a low voice, and when he squinted, he saw Geng Xing sitting up from the rocking chair, looking over to this side, the knife in his hand moved again, and then stuffed a small purse and said, "Go over and deal with it." ”

Qian Tietou had to be escorted by Qi Gong, came over with a wry smile, and saluted Geng Xing: "Brother Geng, little brother is here again." Qi Gong was by his side, and he didn't even dare to squeeze his eyebrows.

Geng Xing got up and saluted back, he didn't attach much importance to this Qian Tietou, but Qian Tietou's brother-in-law Chen Kongmu was a celebrity in the prefect Deng Lu, and he didn't want to offend.

"Brother Xian ...... today." Geng Xing originally wanted to say that it was too late, but when he looked up, he saw Qi Gong and the others at a glance, all of them were full of faces, and he couldn't help but sweep them over their faces, and said, "...... It's a new guy. ”

Qian Tietou said in his heart: "This is my new buddy, this is my living Hades." But there was a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, yes, the younger brother thought about today's Chaiduo, so he hired a few cars." ”

Geng Xing looked at those Jiangzhou cars, this firewood and grass seemed to be a lot, but he always felt that it was not so real, so he walked over, found a car at random, and reached out to rummage the firewood and grass, Qi Gong's hand was slightly forced, Qian Tietou trembled, hurried over, and stuck to Geng Xing, stuffed the small purse, and whispered: "Brother, these are my new friends, they want to send something to an old guest in the city, and ask my brother to raise his noble hand." ”

Geng Xing was a little embarrassed and said, "But...... There's a thief army in front of me, and there's no way I've got anything to do here. He twisted the small purse in his hand as he spoke, he had been doing this kind of thing for a long time, and he only touched it out at once, and it was filled with gold leaves, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Qian Tietou looked at his face and saw that Geng Xing was moved, so he said: "Brother, you listen to the accents of these brothers, they are all from our Hebei, and the people in front of them are all outsiders, where can they speak so rightly, and brother think about it, this world is the Zhao family and the Liu family to fight, what does it matter to us, is this purse not good?" ”

Geng Xing glared at Qian Tietou, then stepped out of the way and said, "Go in." "Just as Qian Tietou said, these people under Liu Yu all feel that Liu Yu will not be able to achieve great things, and in the future, when the Song army goes north, they will all have to suffer hardships, and it is true that they will still make more money.

At that moment, Qi Gong and the others entered the Inner Yellow City, guided by Qian Tietou, first went to buy firewood and grass, and then wandered on the street.

Qian Tietou knew that once a suspicious person was found here, he could be executed on the spot, so he was frightened, just afraid that a soldier would come and behead them, Qi Gong saw his fear, so he whispered: "If you are afraid, lead us to find a safe place to hide, as long as it is night, we will let you go." ”

Qian Tietou said with a bitter face: "Grandpa, are you true?" ”

Qi Gong sneered and said, "If you don't believe it, it's up to you." After saying that, he was going to go shopping with people, Qian Tietou hurriedly said: "I believe, I believe, you come with me!" At that moment, he led Qi Gong and the others away.
