Chapter 17, the biography of Yun Liang

Yun Liang, a native of Zhongshan, is good at stealing and is revered as a thief.

In the thirteenth year of King Lihe, Zhongshan Kingdom.

Early in the morning, Yun Liang covered the quilt for his pregnant wife and walked out of the house.

This place is between the slum and the city, and the people in the slum know that he is Yun Liang, and they have nothing to worry about Yun Liang anyway.

A group of little beggars gathered around, skinny and green in their eyes, like hungry wolves.

The older beggar helped an old beggar out, and the old beggar was called Qiu Liang, Qiu Xu's father.

"Uncle, it's me." Yun Liang bowed respectfully towards Qiu Liang, and shouted amicably.

"It's Yunliang, where is my Xu Er?" The old beggar Qiu Liang was blind.

"Qiu Xu is making money, so I'm going to see Qiu Xu, and he sent money." Yun Liang didn't look away, he wanted to lie, he didn't dare to look the old beggar Qiu Liang in the eyes, even if he was blind.

Yun Liang rarely lied, he only lied to two people, one was his wife, and the other was the old beggar Qiu Liang. His thief's heart was pounding, and he left with a weak heart.

Yun Liang has no money to buy food, and he doesn't bother to buy it, he is a thief.

Yun Liang once made a bet with another thief who could steal a jewel from the main hall of the Zhongshan Palace, and the other thief was beaten to death by a random staff, and Yun Liang stole the orb.

The other thief is called Qiu Xu.

It was originally a boring trick of two thieves, but as a result, the thief Qiu Xu died, and the thief Yunliang became famous in Zhongshan, and was arrested by Zhongshan State.

Then Yun Liang hid between the slum and the city, the slum was Qiu Xu's home, and here the bereaved belongings of the extremely stingy thief Qiu Xu were hidden.

The thief Qiu Xu is very stingy, he is also a notorious thief, Yun Liang has a good life, and Qiu Xu is reluctant to add even a new clothes.

There were no belongings in the slums, only a group of homeless beggars, at least a hundred people. These hundreds of little beggars are more notorious than the thieves Yun Liang and Qiu Xu, they roam the nearby cities like wild dogs, robbing when they are hungry, stealing when they can't, in short, doing everything.

After Yun Liang recognized Qiu Xu, this group of little beggars did not wander around much, and Yun Liang thought they were dead until they came to the slums.

The little beggars weren't dead, but they were dying. Qiu Xu had no property in the slums, only this group of little beggars.

There is also a way to steal.

Yun Liang walked towards the city, and he read, "If a thief does not steal, he must steal."

In the afternoon, Yun Liang came back, and sure enough, he brought a lot of food, enough for this group of little beggars and the old beggar Qiu Liang to eat for two days.

It's only enough for two days, and he can rest for two days.

Yun Liang went home, he didn't come back empty-handed, and he was still carrying an old hen.

As a thief, there is no reason to return empty-handed.

Xiao Yunge pounced and shouted, "Father."

A father made the tired man smile, and soon he lowered his head guiltily, and he saw his wife's eyes.

"You promised not to steal again." Yun Liang's wife was angry, and she saw the old hen that Yun Liang was carrying in his hand.

"This is bought." Yun Liang still wanted to quibble, but unfortunately betrayed her with chicken feathers.

"Return it, I won't eat the stolen things." Yun Liang's wife was angry, and he clearly promised not to steal again.

Yun Liang's wife's name is Ziyou, the daughter of the declining Shi clan in Zhongshan, who was seen by Yun Liang when he climbed over the wall and entered Ziyou's house to steal.

Yun Liang is a prodigal son, so he squandered as much money as he had, and after seeing Ziyou, he changed his personality and began to save money.

He knew that no matter how much the Ziyou family declined, he was also a child of the scholar family, and the lottery money was not a small amount.

When Yun Liang saved enough money to ask someone to go to Ziyou's house to propose marriage, he naturally disguised himself as a scholar with a solid family.

Even in order to build momentum for himself, he also bought a house in the city, and the appearance was not bad, Ziyou's parents readily agreed.

After Yun Liang and Ziyou got married, Yun Liang wanted to wash his hands in a golden basin, relying on the belongings he had saved in the past year to have enough food and clothing for a lifetime, but Qiu Xu found him.

Qiu Xu was Yun Liang's previous friend, who was stingy, so he asked Yun Liang to borrow money. Yun Liang naturally wouldn't borrow him, he guessed that Qiu Xu was probably richer than the wealthy businessman in Zhongshan. Qiu Xu knelt down, Yun Liang suddenly panicked, he knew Qiu Xu's character, he was simply a gentleman among thieves. So there was a bet between Yun Liang and Qiu Xu to steal the jewels of the Zhongshan Palace.

Soon after Qiu Xu's death, those little beggars who were like wild dogs began to wreak havoc in the city again, and Yun Hao was surprised by Qiu Xu's treasures, and he knew that Qiu Xu also lived in the slums, so he also followed.

Then Yun Liang, who had already washed his hands, returned to his old business, but it was okay to run out for three or five days once or twice, and Ziyou was also suspicious after many times, Ziyou's father asked him to follow Yun Liang, and then exposed his crimes.

At this time, Zhongshan was still arresting Yunliang, and Ziyou's father was furious, he didn't expect that he not only hid criminals, but also married his daughter to him.

How funny, Ziyou is already pregnant, and no matter how her father persuades her, she still refuses to leave Yunliang.

"Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog." Ziyou said to her father.

"Cutting hair is an oath, and one knife is cut in two." Ziyou's father said to Ziyou.

Ziyou's father still let Yunliang go, but the two had to leave the city and hide between the city and the slum to settle down.

Yun Liang also agreed to wash his hands in the golden basin, Ziyou began to work after giving birth to Yun Ge, and Yun Liang used the excuse of making a living in the city to go out early and return late every day, Ziyou didn't know that Yun Liang was stealing behind her back.

Ziyou was not happy, Yun Liang had to go out, Xiao Yunge chased him out, Yun Liang took out two copper shells and put them in Xiao Yun Singer, and said, "You go buy an old hen."

Yun Liang naturally won't return the old hen, why should he return what he stole with his ability.

This old hen entered the mouths of the old beggar Qiu Liang and a group of little beggars, of course, there were more people and less meat, and the soup was light.

In the thirteenth year of King Lihe, Ziyou's father came, bringing with him many people. Ziyou's father knew where Ziyou lived, and he felt sorry for his daughter, and he often secretly hid from his wife to save his daughter.

Ziyou panicked, Yun Liang hadn't come back yet, she knew that it must be Yun Liang who was back in his old business, otherwise how could his father come in person? Looking at this battle, Yun Liang was also arrested.

"Father." Ziyou held her stomach and wanted to kneel down to plead, but was supported by her father.

"This is Lone's niece? How did you fall into this way? The prince of Zhongshan Kuang spoke.

Only then did Ziyou notice that Prince Kuang of Zhongshan had the honor of meeting Prince Kuang of Zhongshan before she got married. Ziyou was even more panicked, the King of Zhongshan was here, and it must be that Yun Liang couldn't hide the theft of the palace orb.

Ziyou's father said guiltily: "Your Majesty, Ziyou's husband is Yunliang."

Ziyou's face was pale and he almost fell, Yun Ge was still young, and the child in his belly had not yet been born, so they couldn't do without a father. Ziyou looked at her father sadly, she hoped that her father would be willing to intercede for Yun Liang in the face of women.

"Where is Yun Liang?" Prince Kuang of Zhongshan asked.

"He's gone, he's gone on a study tour." Ziyou said categorically, she breathed a sigh of relief, Yun Liang hadn't been caught yet.

"The grass people have seen the king." Ziyou heard Yun Liang's voice, stupid man, why don't you run away and come back.

Yun Liang had just returned from the slums, and he saw Ziyou's father and the prince of Zhongshan, Kuang. It's over, I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet.

In the unbelievable gaze of Yun Liang and Ziyou, the King of Zhongshan respectfully bowed respectfully, and said kindly: "Mr. Yun Liang, there is one thing to bother you."

Yun Liang didn't say anything, he was waiting for Prince Kuang of Zhongshan to follow. Zhongshan Prince Kuang said: "As long as Mr. Yunliang is willing to make a move, Gu can spare you from official affairs."

Ziyou, who was not allowed to steal Yunliang, did not wait for the prince of Zhongshan Kuang to finish speaking and interjected: "I promise for him."

Yun Liang shouted: "Yun Ge, help your mother into the house, what do women talk about men's affairs."

After Xiao Yunge Fuzi swam into the house, Yun Liang said, "I have one condition."

"Bold," Ziyou's father scolded, "the king promised to exempt you from official affairs, and you still dare to talk about conditions, shameless things." ”

Ziyou's father looked down on Yun Liang very much, and the most inferior of the three sects and nine streams was stealing.

Prince Kuang of Zhongshan was not annoyed, he said, "Tell me about your conditions."

"I want a reward of a thousand gold." Yun Liang behaved neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Okay," Prince Kuang of Zhongshan was also a happy man, and after he agreed, he asked, "What does the gentleman do if he doesn't listen?" ”

"The king's search for the grass people is nothing more than stealing treasures, and there is nothing in the world that the grass people can't steal." Yun Liang is a thief, and he has his pride.

The prince of Zhongshan, Kuang, invited Yun Liang to go out of the mountain to Xiao to steal jade, and King Xiao knew the secret of Yujue, and he also had Zichou Yujue in his hand, and he was crusading against Zhongshan.

Yun Liang also lived up to expectations and stole back Yujue, and then completely disappeared without a trace. Some people speculate that Yun Liang was killed by the King of Zhongshan, after all, he was a thief full of evil; Some people also speculate that Yun Liang lived in seclusion, after all, the king of Zhongshan rewarded him with a thousand gold, which was enough to squander in his life.

"Yun Liang, how are you going to spend this daughter?" Prince Kuang of Zhongshan asked him.

"Leave it to my daughter as a dowry." Yun Liang smiled warmly, and Ziyou gave birth to a daughter named Yunduo.

"I don't know whose boy is so blessed." Prince Kuang of Zhongshan said with a smile.

Since then, there is no name for the thief Yun Liang in the rivers and lakes, and occasionally someone thinks of Yun Liang when they are stolen, but the later thieves' methods are really vulgar, which is as seamless as Yun Liang.

In the twenty-sixth year of King Lihe, after discussing with Meng Lan, He Tianzi, Taibaozi Tang and Meng Lan planned to ask Meng Lan to invite Yunliang out of the mountain.

Yun Liang has not been out of the mountain for more than ten years, and Prince Tang of Zhongshan does not know about Yun Liang, but he does mention a key person - Ziyin.

Ziyin is the father of Ziyou, and Ziyou is the wife of Yunliang.

When Meng Lan saw Ziyin, he was returning from outside the city, Ziyin was very old, walking with a cane, and his sideburns were dyed with hoarfrost.

"It's Meng Lan," Ziyin said, "The old man is a little busy and neglects the Taishi. ”

Meng Lan waited for most of the day, and Ziyin came back after dark.

The next day, Ziyin took Meng Lan to the slum, where is the slum, it is clearly a new city.

"Yun Liang scattered all his money, let me take care of these little beggars for him, this new city was built by these little beggars."

"Hello, sir." Along the way, there were many young faces who respectfully and respectfully made the seal.

"Are you looking for Yunliang? Originally, the old man promised not to reveal his whereabouts, but Master Taishi, I don't worry, he is shepherding sheep on the Mangyuan. ”

Meng Lan bowed to Xie Ziyin, and took his disciple Shi Yanzhou and dozens of followers to set foot on the Mangyuan.

"I've been washing my hands for years." Yun Liang guessed Meng Lan's intention, just like when Prince Kuang of Zhongshan came to find him. If it weren't for something, who would remember himself as an old shepherd?

Yun Liang is now an old shepherd, he squinted at the fat sheep in the pen, looked at a pair of children, Meng Lan read the word happiness from his eyes.

Meng Lan didn't want to disturb Yunliang's peaceful days, but the Li Dynasty was in trouble, and as a prince, he was duty-bound.

"Meng Lan is here for the Son of Heaven, please help me." Meng Lan arched his hand and said, only Yun Liang could steal the jade jue from Song Xiao, and Meng Lan had no choice.

"The contemptible person is just a shepherd old man, where is there any ability." Yun Liang excused himself, he enjoyed his current life very much.

"Please sir, for the sake of the common people in the world, make a shot once." Meng Lan saluted, her head bowed above her knees, and she was very reverent. It is impossible for Meng Lan to sit idly by and watch Yujue fall into Song Xiao's hands, Song Xiao has coveted the world for not a day or two.

"Liang can't stand it," Yun Liang sighed, if it was for the Son of Heaven, no matter how Meng Lan pleaded, he wouldn't agree, but Meng Lan's words for the sake of the people of the world, Yun Liang's conscience softened, and he remembered Qiu Xu.

Thieves also have a way, Yun Liang rarely admires others, Qiu Xu is one, and Meng Lan is also one.

Qiu Xu is willing to do the last thing of chicken and dog thief with infamy behind his back for a hundred little beggars, and Meng Lan is here for the people of the world.

Yun Liang couldn't help Meng Lan, and even Meng Lan took another point, and shouted loudly: "Meng Lan has a wish that the world can't afford to fight soldiers, please help me, help the Son of Heaven, and help the Li room."

Yun Liang straightened up, and his innocent shepherd face became angular.

"The Taishi has a heart, so Yun Liang will make an exception and go to the rivers and lakes again," Yun Liang said, "But Yun Liang has one condition." ”

Meng Lan was overjoyed, as long as Yun Liang was willing to make a move, what would it matter if he was a daughter? The daughter of the Southern Barbarian thief is a promise.

"If Yun Liang can't come back, please ask Meng Landuo to take care of my two children." What Yun Liang can't let go of is Yun Ge and Yun Duo, Yun Ge is big, and Yun Duo is still small.

"Sir, rest assured, Meng Lan will do her best." Meng Lan also made a promise.

Yun Liang has not heard from him for a long time, He Tianzi and Zitang are a little worried, and Meng Lan swears to ensure that Yun Liang will not live up to expectations.

There is also a way to steal.

The world only knows that Yunliang chickens and dogs are the last thieves, how do they know that Yunliang inherits the old man and sticks to his life?

The world only knows that Yun Liang is notorious for stealing money and goods, but how do you know that Yun Liang only steals businessmen and nobles, and scatters his money to help the needy?

On that day, in Luoyi City, the sword made waves.

On that day, Luoyi School Palace, Yujue was stolen.

On that day, the world was in Kyushu, and the thief reappeared.

Yun Liang died, he had already arrived in Saishang Mangyuan, but he was still caught up by the Song State Iron Cavalry.

He has done his best, but it's a pity that God is not on the opposite side.

In Zhongshan Kingdom, the old blind Qiu Liang stood at the gate of the new city and waited, and the same old Ziyin said: "Old Qiu, Yun Liang is dead."

The old blind man Qiu Liang shed two lines of blood and tears, how did he not know that Yun Liang was panicking about him. When people are old, they always like to wait.

"People have ambitions, and their thoughts return to angelica." Yun Ge came slowly holding Yun Liang's corpse.

The new city is called Yunliang.
