The fifth and fifth round: The clever thief saves people with his wit, and really avoids disasters and makes a false pilgrimage
1
For several days, Lu Qi took Wang Feng, Wang Yu, Liu Jia, Zhang Chuan, and Qiuguang to play in Jiuxi and Eighteen Streams. Zhang Chuan was overjoyed and grinned: "You can open meat today." "I stepped forward to catch the black cat, and I was so happy to dance with my hands.
Liu Jia said: "Let's let it go." ”
Zhang Chuan was puzzled: "Why? ”
Liu Jia said: "The hunter set up this set, he should have caught those beasts in the mountains and forests, cats are natural enemies of mice, and they are kind to people, but somehow they mistakenly fell into this set, if they take it back and let Professor Fang see it, he will definitely be unhappy." ”
When Zhang Zhou heard this, he felt that it was the same, so he reluctantly let go of the black cat, and said indignantly: "What kind of clip is this, don't clamp those evil beasts, but clip this good cat!" ”
The five of Liujia continued to move forward, and Lu Qi was the only one left behind, sullen, Wang Feng looked back and asked, "What do you have in mind?" ”
Lu Qi said: "Seeing this cat, I thought of Tang Xi again, the court prison should have imprisoned which evildoers, Tang Xi was wrong to eliminate violence and peace, but he was put in prison waiting to be beheaded, every time I think about it, I feel sad." ”
Wang Yu, who was walking in front, listened, turned around and said loudly: "You are good at stealing, why don't you design to steal him out?" ”
When Liu Jia and the others heard this, they all asked, "Who stole out?" ”
Wang Yu said: "Lu Qi has a friend who pretended to be the god Wei Tuo in Luoshan to rob and kill the powerful in the rivers and lakes, but unfortunately fell into the hands of the government, and is now in prison waiting to be beheaded. ”
Liu Jia said: "Could it be Wei Tuo's killer Tang Xi? ”
Wang Yu said: "Exactly! ”
Zhang Chuan asked, "Lu Qi, do you know Tang Xi?" He's my hero. ”
Qiu Guang also said: "Yes, such a hero, who is disrespectful in the rivers and lakes, it is a pity to fall into the official prison." ”
Zhang Chuan said: "How about the six of us working together to find a way to rescue Tang Daxia?" ”
Wang Feng was nodded by this and said happily: "Hey, this is a good idea." ”
Lu Qi smiled bitterly: "It's easy to steal things, but how can you steal people?" ”
Wang Yu said: "The six of us work together, how do we know that we won't succeed?" ”
Liu Jia pondered for a while, came to Lu Qi and said: "Brother Lu Qi, I can't hide it, a few months ago, Zhang Chuan and I met the world's famous No. 1 thief on the rivers and lakes, and he also wanted to rescue Tang Xi. Since you intend to save Tang Xi, why don't the six of us work together to do something earth-shattering, so that we can teach our friends in the rivers and lakes to see the skills of our six ghosts......"

The ancient city of Kaifeng is prosperous and prosperous, the city is full of pearls, and the household is full of Luoqi.
Outside the Yamen of the Commander, the stone lion held its head high, and the majestic army was strong.
At dusk, Liu Jia was dressed in coarse cloth and rotten clothes, pushing a large cart full of beef and mutton, cabbage, radish, winter melon, and pumpkin with bare feet, followed behind a brightly dressed man, and came to the outside of the commander's envoy's yamen, Liu Jia was startled and asked in surprise: "Big brother, where are you taking me, the villain didn't break the law." ”
The man saw Liu Jia's honest and lovely native peasant appearance, and laughed: "Don't be afraid, just follow me into the yamen." ”
Liu Jia exclaimed: "It turns out that the eldest brother is an official, damn it, look at my dog's eyes, I actually regard the official master as a big official." ”
"Haha, even if you are a big person, how many people can be in a family, and you won't sell so many dishes."
Liu Jia hurriedly said: "Yes, there are so many dishes, it takes one or two hundred people to eat them, it's not that I meet a customer like the official, and I don't know how long the villain's truckload of goods will be sold." ”
The Metropolitan Command Department is the highest military organization in Henan, responsible for dispatching the army throughout Henan, and is one of the three local divisions, so it is heavily guarded, and idle people are not allowed to enter. The gatekeeper Ken saw that he was the kitchen cook Wen Yuan, and knew that he had to go to the market every day to pick up a few loads of rice vegetables with the farmer, so he didn't ask much, and just opened the door and let him in.
Liu Jia followed Wen Yuan through several houses, came to the kitchen door and stopped, unloaded the vegetables, settled the money, Liu Jia said: "Brother official, look, I still have to go to my father-in-law's house in Dingzhuang in the north of the city to kill pigs, and it is inconvenient to push the car across the Yellow River, or the villain will put the car here for you, I will come to pick it up before dawn tomorrow morning, and how about sending you ten catties of pork when I come?" By the way, my father-in-law's family has sparse vegetables, and tomorrow I will bring more than twenty or thirty catties to the official brother, just to give it a convenience. ”
Wen Yuan listened, thinking that this farmer would not raise the price, today's vegetables would be a few hundred dollars cheaper than the market price, so he said that he would sell his dishes to me next time, and besides, it would not be in the way to put a cart in the kitchen, and he could get ten catties of pork and dozens of catties of vegetables more, so he said: "It's okay, I must come to pick it up before the end of tomorrow, the adults will eat at the end of the day, and the cooks will wash the vegetables and brush the pot when they are young, and your cart is dirty and big, and it will get in the way of putting it here." ”
Liu Jiaxi said: "Okay, the villain will definitely come to pick up the car before tomorrow." ”
Wen Yuan warned: "If you don't take it before the time, I will split your broken car into firewood and burn it." ”
Liu Jia hurriedly said: "I must come to get it, and I will never miss the official's business." ”
Liujia may not be trustworthy on weekdays, but this time he must be trustworthy. Early the next morning, before dawn, Liu Jia came to the Yamen of the Commander with a load of pork and vegetables, and waited for a while, and saw that the Yamen had opened, and Wen Yuan saw that Liu Jia came as promised, and greeted: "Come in." ”
Liu Jia followed him to the kitchen again, took out ten catties of pork, and dozens of catties of sparse vegetables rested on the table and said: "This is to honor the official, and I hope that the official will buy more of my vegetables in the future." ”
Wen Yuan said with a smile: "It's easy to say, we're going to start work, you quickly pull the broken car away." ”
Liu Jia put the rest of the pork on the cart, pushed the cart and followed Wen Yuan to the gate, turned around and thanked him again, and then walked to the market.
Walking to the side, Zhang Chuan and Qiuguang came out of the roadside and asked, "Did you succeed?" ”
Liu Jia stopped the car and said with a smile: "I guess I should succeed." ”
The three of them surrounded the car, and Liu Jia shouted softly: "Brother Lucci." ”
Qiuguang gently knocked the wooden plank of the cart three times, only to hear the sound of the cart clangling, and Luffy came out of the belly of the cart with a grin. fell to the ground, patted the dust on his body, and Lu Qi said: "The commander of the envoy is really extraordinary, which one of them is brilliant, it is really dazzling, sitting on the tiger skin treasure chair of the commander of the second grade, it is really majestic, hey, I don't want to come back." ”
Zhang Chuan and Qiu Guang looked at Lu Qi with straight eyes, and when they saw his eyebrows fluttering, they were so envious that they were dying of envy. Liu Jia said with a smile: "You don't brag nonsense, in the middle of the night, it's pitch black, where does the gold come from, I don't believe you dare to blatantly light the lights to visit, say quickly, is there a harvest?" ”
Zhang Chuan and Qiu Guang were pushed by Liu Jia a little, and it suddenly dawned on them that Lu Qi was boasting. "Alas, I was almost deceived by you," Zhang Chuan looked disappointed.
Lu Qi said: "Who lied to you, I really sat on the throne of the commander, and I also sprinkled a soak of urine on the throne, and I can't die if I lie to you." ”
Qiuguang said: "What's the use of peeing, do you dare to sleep with Mrs. Erpin?" If it were me, I'd go to the bedding of Mrs. Fate, hehe......"
"Okay, don't you all talk nonsense, brother, have you succeeded?"
Lu Qi took out a cloth bag from the belly of the cart again, and said with a smile: "Official certificate, official uniform is easy to take." ”
Liu Jia was overjoyed: "Okay, we will leave Kaifeng before dawn, and in another five or six days, maybe the news of the theft of the envoy will spread, and our plan will be frustrated." ”

Luoshan County, Tianyuan Street Silver Dragon Inn.
Liu Jia, Zhang Chuan, Qiu Guang, Lu Qi, Wang Feng, and Wang Yu gathered in the upper room, and the six of them sat around the table, and Liu Jia asked, "Wang Feng and Wang Yu brothers, can you two go well?" ”
Wang Feng said: "Such a trivial matter, what is going well or not, the two of us pretended to be jewelry merchants who went south from Beijing, and spread the news everywhere, saying that the imperial court recruited heroes from the rivers and lakes to enlist in the army, and the strong and strong soldiers, the generals with excellent martial arts, and the prisons in various prefectures, states, and counties, as long as they are not prisoners who have committed serious crimes of rebellion, if the means are strong, they can also be pardoned and allowed to make meritorious contributions." ”
Wang Yu said: "Now that the Central Plains is in a uproar, and Dajin in Liaodong is often invaded, the imperial court is the time to employ people, and everyone believes in our words. ”
Liu Jiaxi said: "Great, we will start acting tomorrow." ”
Lu Qi said: "There are many people in Luoshan County who know me, so I should not show up." ”
Liu Jia said: "Brother Luqi only needs to tell me the names and positions of the county bureaucrats, you go home to visit your mother, and when you need it, we will come to you." ”
Lu Qi said, "That's the best." ”
Early the next morning, Luoshan County Ya.
Liu Jia, Zhang Chuan, and Qiuguang broke into the ya, shouting to find Wang Wu, and the officials saw that the three were wearing official uniforms, and they thought that they were sent by the imperial court to inspect, so they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and checked the official certificates, knowing that it was Zhang Yunqing, the commander of the Henan Metropolitan Commanding Envoy Division, and Liu Chunlin, the deputy envoy of the warehouse, and Chu Yun, the deputy envoy of the warehouse, immediately bowed to the ground.
Liu Jia said: "What about your Wang County Order?" ”
The official said: "I am working in the second hall, please come with me." ”
There was already a government official report to Wang Wu, Wang Wu was shocked, and panicked to greet the new county Cheng Tangren, the lord Bo Yaohua, and the classic history Zhao Zelun, and met Liu Jia and the three people at the door of the second hall, knelt down and bowed: "Luoshan County ordered Wang Wu to lead the county Cheng Tangren, the main Bo Yaohua, and the classic history Zhao Zelun to welcome Lord Zhang." ”
Liu Jia said: "Lord Wang is exempt, and all adults are exempt." ”
After entering the second hall and sitting down in turn, Liu Jia introduced Zhang Chuan to Wang Wu and others as the commander of Liu Chunlin, and introduced Qiuguang as the deputy envoy of the warehouse Chu Yun, and then said: "This official is inspecting today, not for other things, but by the order of the imperial court to collect strange people from the rivers and lakes, I heard that there are many heroes in Luoshan, so I came to explore, please ask Wang County Ling and all the adults to recommend a few more, so that the imperial court can choose the best." ”
Wang Wudao: "There used to be Bai Wei, the white dragon king in this county, this person has excellent martial arts and is quite heroic, but it is a pity that he was killed by the enemy." Today's Luoshan, the best martial arts is the wolf tyrant, and his three tigers: Chen Hu, Ruan Tianhu, and Liu Guangfu are also well-known heroes. In addition, Zhao Dezhi and Wu Youzhi are also good at kung fu, and Duan Qi, although she is a woman, she is quite strategic and has some means, which can be called a heroine among women. ”
Liu Jia was overjoyed: "The border is urgent, the Central Plains is in turmoil, the commander of the Yuan Lord ordered me to return to Kaifeng within a month, I can only stay in Luoshan for two days, since there are so many heroes in Luoshan, please Wang County Commander will recruit these people today, the official will interview in person, I like, I will record a roster, and the commander will report to the imperial court, and the following will be recruited next month." ”
Wang Wudao: "The lower officials obey the order." ”
Liu Jia also said: "All prisoners who have some means, who are willing to atone for their sins, can also go out with the army, and in the future, depending on the size of the military merits, the general army will play the military department, and the three divisions of the imperial court will be exempted from punishment or promoted, even if they are prisoners on death row, if they have superb skills, they can also be pardoned." ”
Wang Wudao: "There are one or two hundred heavy prisoners in the prison, but there are not many who have the means, but Wei Tuo's killer Tang Xi is excellent in martial arts, and it is difficult to have a match on the rivers and lakes." Lord Zhao, you immediately go to the prison to find out the bottom and make a roster of some means to the three adults. ”
Zhao Zelun took the order and left.
Liu Jia said to himself: "Tang Xi? It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that this person is superb in martial arts, and often pretends to be Wei Tuo to kill people. ”
Qiuguang said: "Before leaving Kaifeng, all commanded Lord Yuan to explain repeatedly, thousands of troops are easy to obtain, and one general is hard to find, my lord, isn't this person the general we are looking for?" ”
Liu Jia said approvingly: "Hmm...... This person must be met by the official in person. ”

In the post house, Liu Jia, Zhang Chuan, and Qiuguang sat in the south, Wang Wu ordered the Ya to send all the heroes of Luoshan to the post house to be interviewed by Master Zhang, Duan Qiyi should not be arrogant, Zhao Dezhi was sick and did not arrive, and Wu Youzhi was not suitable for being a soldier due to leg disease. Although the wolf tyrant is not very reluctant, firstly, the official is invited, and it is not easy to disobey, and secondly, I heard that those who are outstanding in martial arts can be directly promoted to generals, so they came with the mentality of trying it out, and came with the three tigers.
Liu Jia said: "Wolf Ba, since the four of you are full of martial arts, wouldn't it be a pity to wander the rivers and lakes, if you can serve the country, you will be honored in the future, and you will glorify your ancestors, wouldn't it be happy?" ”
The wolf said domineeringly: "Lord Hui, it is the duty of the subjects to kill thieves for the country, but my four brothers have average skills, if they are called, I am afraid that they will insult the prestige of the Ming army." ”
Liu Jia said: "The hero is modest, and the prestige of one wolf and three tigers has also been heard of by this official." ”
Chen Hu said: "Dare to ask your Excellency whether this time is a general or a soldier?" ”
Zhang Chuan said: "Those who have the ability are generals, and those who have no means are soldiers." ”
Ruan Tianhu asked: "What is the ability and what is the lack of means?" ”
Zhang Chuan sneered: "Those who can win me have the ability, and those who can't beat me have no means." ”
Liu Jia saw that Zhang Chuan's involvement in the play was too deep, and he had a strong hand with one wolf and three tigers, and hurriedly interjected: "If the four of you have any means, you can show them in front of this official, and this official will see it, and he will have his own judgment and will never bury you." ”
Qiuguang also felt that Zhang Chuan shouldn't fake it, and gently pulled the corner of his clothes, Zhang Chuan remembered that he was just a fake official who temporarily put on a colorful robe, so he smiled and stopped talking.
The wolf lord observed his words and had to say to the three tigers: "Brothers, you can show the three adults a few tricks." ”
Ruan Tianhu said: "What's the benefit of playing alone? I can't see the real skills. ”
The wolf said domineeringly: "Chen Hu, you have a few tricks with Ruan Tianhu." ”
Chen Hu and Ruan Tianhu had no choice but to make a few moves in the room and play a few rounds, and Liu Jia, Zhang Chuan, and Qiu Guang applauded.
Liu Jia said: "It's good kung fu!" He pointed at Liu Guangfu and said to the wolf: "Wolf bully, why don't you show a few hands with this hero?" ”
When the wolf bully heard this, he had to fight with Liu Guangfu for a while, Zhang Chuan was secretly surprised, the wolf bully was so powerful, fortunately he didn't compete with him, otherwise, it would be a big shame today.
Liu Jia was greatly admired: "One wolf and three tigers really live up to their reputation, wolf tyrant, the four of you enlisted in the army, what do you want to do?"
Seeing that the three adults really knew the goods, the wolf bully was also happy in his heart, and said: "If you can enlist in the army and kill the thief, the future of my four brothers is all determined by the adults." ”
Liu Jia said to Qiuguang: "In my opinion, the skills of the wolf tyrant can be guarded, and the means of the three tigers can be compared to Qianzong." ”
Qiuguang nodded and said, "Well, I see it's done." ”
Liu Jia said to the wolf: "Wolf Ba, the four of you go back first, one month at the latest, and when the imperial court approves it, the official has his own decision." ”
The wolf overlord was overjoyed, and knelt down with the three tigers and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Sent away a wolf and three tigers, Wang Wu and Tang Ren came to greet each other, Wang Wu said: "The three adults are looking for generals for the country, and they have worked hard, so they must pay attention to rest, go, first go to the county office for dinner, and then have a good night's rest, and go to the prison tomorrow to have a look." ”
Liu Jia said: "Well, this official is going to go to the prison to see that Wei Tuo killer Tang Xi." ”
Liu Jia, Zhang Chuan, and Qiu Guang followed Wang Wu to the county office, Yao Hua and Zhao Zelun had already prepared a banquet, which was naturally dragon liver and phoenix gall, and Qiong brewed jade liquid. Everyone sat down, Wang Wu and others toasted, I persuaded the dishes, flattered each other, competed for flattery, and were happy to let Liujia, Zhang Chuan, and Qiuguang get carried away and have a beautiful official addiction.
Seeing that it was almost dark, the three of them were drunk and shouted to go back to sleep. There are more than three miles of road from the county government to the post house, Wang Wu ordered a sedan chair to be sent, but Liu Jia said: "What sedan chair to sit, let's go back, and take a look at the scenery of Luoshan on the road." Zhang Chuan said: "What Master Zhang said is that we will go back." Wang Wu had no choice but to accompany Yao Hua and Zhao Zelun on foot all the way.
Walk to the bamboo pole river, along the river on both sides of the tourists are weaving, Liujia accidentally stepped on a person's feet, the person ouched, looked back, it turned out to be a fortune teller.
Liu Jia scolded: "Okay, you are a fortune teller who is not long-eyed, why do you stand in the way of this official? ”
The man was not afraid, and scolded back: "Okay, you are a foolish official who doesn't have long eyes, why do you step on the feet of this immortal master?" ”
Wang Wu was furious, there was no form here, and he dared to scold Master Si of Kaifeng, who was about to order the fast hand who accompanied him to arrest people, but Liu Jia said: "Wait, I'll see if he is a real immortal or a fake immortal." Liu Jia came to the fortune teller and said, "If you can really calculate, I will spare you, otherwise, I will arrest you and go to prison." ”
The man smiled and said, "If I can't calculate it, let you dispose of it, and if you calculate it accurately, ten taels of silver." ”
Liu Jia squatted down, and Zhang Zhou said softly: "My lord, let him calculate our merits this time." ”
Liu Jia nodded and sneered: "Okay, just according to what you say." Fortune teller, even if you count me as coming to Luoshan to do business, can it be successful? ”
The fortune teller said, "Report the birthday." ”
Liu Jia said: "Gengzi year, May 27, Chenshi." ”
The fortune teller made a calculation and said: "You are a rat, and the rat is not in a cage, if you are in a cage, you will definitely be fierce." Tomorrow is your 36th birthday, and this year is the year of your birth, so you have to be careful in everything. However, you are a noble person, as long as you are careful, don't commit a big taboo, and great things can be done. ”
Liu Jiaxi said: "The official believes you for the time being, and rewards you with ten taels of silver first, if it is effective in the future, there will be a heavy reward, if it does not work, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
The fortune teller received two taels of silver and said happily: "I am the first god by the bamboo pole river, how can I not be allowed!" ”
Liu Jia was overjoyed, got up and said to Wang Wu: "One wolf and three tigers have extraordinary martial arts, and they have promised to apply, if they can record a few heroes in prison tomorrow, Luoshan's trip will be a great success." ”
Wang Wu said worriedly: "These people have all been gangsters in the rivers and lakes, if they go to the military camp and then regret and flee, how can it be good?" "What Wang Wu is most afraid of is that after Tang Xi joins the army, one day he sneaks back to Luoshan from the military camp, and he will be in big trouble.
Liu Jia said with a smile: "Wang County Ling can rest assured, the wolf bully is just an idle person in the rivers and lakes, Tang Xi is a death row prisoner to be beheaded, if they join the army, if they are lucky, they are a garrison, a thousand presidents, they are in power, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, who wants to escape?" If you're unlucky, you'll either be killed or injured, even if you want to run back, what chance will you have? ”
Wang Wumao suddenly opened his mouth and said happily: "That's good, the lower officials can rest assured." ”

Back at the post house, everyone rested in peace, Wang Wu arranged for Yao Hua to live in the post house with a few fast hands, and ordered him to take the three commanders to the prison early tomorrow morning to recruit soldiers.
It was night, Liujia got up nine times at night, diarrhea was serious, Zhang Chuan, Qiuguang woke up Yicheng, asked for ginger, brown sugar, boiled water to drink, Yao Hua was also woken up, hurriedly ordered someone to find a doctor, the doctor took the pulse and said: "It must be caused by the water and soil dissuitability, don't worry, the villain prescribes a pair of medicine to eat." The doctor prescribed medicine, Yao Hua personally suffered, Liu Jia drank it, then stopped, and thanked: "There is Lord Lao Yao." Yao Hua said in fear: "The subordinate officials are not serving effectively, and I hope to experience the punishment of the master." Liu Jia said: "Xu is not accustomed to the water and soil, and the official is greedy, and he eats too much spicy food, what does it have to do with Lord Yao." ”
There was nothing to do that night, and after dawn, Yao Hua came to greet him, and learned that the "experience of Master Si Zhang" was no longer in trouble, so he said: "Please let the three adults deign to go to the prison, Lord Wang is already waiting in the county office." ”
Liu Jia's body was weak, and he wanted to get up, Qiuguang hurriedly stepped forward to help, and Zhang Chuan said: "My lord, I'd better rest for a while, and it's not too late to go after noon." ”
Liu Jia said: "No, this official was sent by Lord Yuan to Luoshan to select generals for the imperial court, how can he miss a major event because of a small abdominal disease?" ”
Qiuguang said: "My lord, do you really want to go to prison?" Today is your thirty-sixth birthday, didn't the fortune teller last night say, adults are rats, the year of their birth, taboo cage ......"
Liu Jia suddenly woke up, finally stood up, heard this, sat down again, looked at the autumn light on the left and the boat on the right, and hesitated.
"How is it good, Wei Tuo's killer Tang Xi is excellent in martial arts, how can such a general be let go," Liu Jia asked Zhang Zhou and Qiu Guang.
Qiuguang said: "You can order the county government to send the arrest to escort this person to the post house quickly, and then send him back to the prison after the adult interview, as for the other prisoners, I think they will be spared." ”
Zhang Chuan praised: "Good idea, adults don't have to go to prison, and they can choose a talent." ”
Liu Jia said to Yao Hua: "Please ask Lord Yao to return to the Wang County Order, just say that this official had a stomach disease last night and it was inconvenient to go out, so please bring that Tang Xi to the post house to meet." ”
Yao Hua said: "Your Excellency has a good rest, and the lower official will go back to the county government to tell Lord Wang." ”
Wang Wu listened to Yao Hua's report, and was quite hesitant in his heart, this Tang Xi was not an ordinary prisoner, take him out of the prison, if he was allowed to escape, it would be a disaster.
Tang Ren saw Wang Wu's worries, and said: "Although this thief is ruthless, he is an ordinary man after all, he will wear a few more shackles on his hands and feet, lock him in a prisoner car, and escort him with twenty or thirty capable arrests, and it will be fine." ”
Zhao Zelun said: "Yes, so that he can run away, isn't that a real god?" ”
Wang Wudao: "Okay, he has experienced the taboo cage of Lord Si Zhang, he wants to take people out, even if there is an accident, the blame is not on my Luoshan County Ya." ”
Yao Hua and Zhao Zelun put Tang Xi out of prison, put three shackles on their hands and feet, wore heavy shackles on their heads, locked like a prisoner's car, and escorted them with knives on each side, and the group drove to the post house with Wang Wuhao.
"My lord, the death row prisoner Tang Xi brought him, and now he is in the prisoner car in the post house compound, are you going to see him in the compound, or?" Wang Wu cautiously asked for Liu Jia's opinion.
Liu Jia said: "Push it into the guest hall together with the prisoner cart." ”
Wang Wu withdrew, and asked the prisoner cart to be unsaddled and pushed directly into the inn by a few arresters. Wang Wu, Yao Hua, and Zhao Zelun followed into the guest hall, only to hear Wang Wu say with a smile on his face: "Tang Xi, Master Zhang, who commanded the envoy Si Zhang, is recruiting troops in Luoshan, I see your skills, and I recommend you, if you can kill thieves for the country and make military achievements, not only can you avoid the death penalty, but also wait for the general, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not to be missed!" ”
Tang Xi saw that everyone had thrown themselves out of the prison, thinking that the imperial court had arrived and was going to behead him, so he kept his eyes closed and waited for death, but he didn't expect it to be such a good thing, he was immediately overjoyed, opened his eyes, and asked happily: "Really?" ”
Wang Wudao: "Yes, you have to grasp it when you go through Lord Si Zhang's questioning later." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang, thank you, your Excellency," Tang Xi looked around, saw that the master and the history were there, and thanked everyone one by one.
Liu Jia, Zhang Chuan, and Qiu Guang walked into the guest hall, Liu Jia came to the side of the prisoner car, carefully looked at Tang Xi in the prisoner car, and saw that he was thin and small, and couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.
Wang Wu hurriedly said: "My lord, although Tang Xi is not burly, he is very good at light skills, and he has also practiced Shaolin Kung Fu." ”
Yao Hua also said: "Yes, he has been in prison for more than half a year, and he looks a little haggard, but in terms of means, there are few people in the rivers and lakes who can beat him." ”
Qiuguang also said: "My lord, people can't look ......."
Liu Jia bowed his head slightly and asked, "Tang Xi, are you willing to make meritorious service and go out with the army to kill Kou?" ”
Tang Xi said: "The villain is willing, but I beg the adult to give him a chance to be reborn." ”
Liu Jia turned around, slowly walked to the central seat and sat down, and said: "This official wants to test his common sense of the art of war, involving some secrets in the army, Wang County Order, you all avoid it for the time being." ”
When Wang Wu heard this, he had to take Yao Hua, Zhao Zelun and others to retreat to the courtyard of the post house, and Yao Hua, who was walking last, gently closed the door.
Qiuguang hurriedly tied the door, Zhang Chuan opened the back door, Laluchi came in, and Tang Xi saw Luqi and was stunned. Lu Qi grinned and said, "Lord Tang, these are my brothers, they heard me talk about you, and they all called Qu Ming's grievances for you, everyone will set up this clever plan to save you out," Lu Qi said as he began to pick the lock.
Tang Xi was shocked: "Lu Qi, in this way, they are not the master of the experience?" ”
Zhang Chuan took out the official certificate and showed it to Tang Xi, and said with a smile: "Why not, we have official certificates, well, you see." ”
Lu Qi smiled: "I entered Kaifeng and commanded the envoy to steal it." ”
Liu Jia said: "Hero, we have set up a perfect plan, you just need to follow the plan and get out." ”
Liu Jia whispered a few words in Tang Xi's ear, and Tang Xi was overjoyed: "Thank you for your help." ”
Wang Wu and the others waited outside for a long time, and finally saw the door open, and everyone hurriedly broke in, and saw that Tang Xi was still locked in the prisoner car, which was comfortable.
Liu Jia said: "Tang Xi is willing to return to the right, this official will return to Kaifeng tomorrow, and he must ask the court for a pardon, at that time, someone will come to pick him up, Lord Wang, you will pull him back first, this month will definitely be taken care of, don't starve and lose weight for the future general." ”
Wang Wu was overjoyed: "The lower officials obey the order." ”
Tang Xi thanked him: "Thank you Lord Wang for your recommendation." ”
Wang Wudao: "If you are there, in the future, you will be a member of the court again, congratulations." ”
Yao Hua and Zhao Zelun were also overjoyed when they saw Tang Xi being reborn again. Wang Wu asked the arrester to pull the prisoner cart out, put on the saddle, quit the three of Liujia, and escorted Tang Xi back to the county government with the arresters.
The group walked slowly, and when they were still a hundred steps away from the county government, they suddenly saw fifty or sixty people waving swords and swords, raising guns and halberds, and shouting and rushing over. Wang Wu was frightened, and hurriedly asked someone to quickly push the prisoner car into the county office, and he took Yao Hua and Zhao Zelun to command the arrest to meet the battle, and the county government was in a mess for a while.
It turned out that Wang Feng and Wang Yu went to Longwang Villa and told Duan Qi that the county commander Wang Wu remembered Tang Xi's old friendship, and recommended him to the commander of the capital to join the army, and he would be worshiped as a general in the future. Duan Qi was furious, and in order to avenge the murder of his husband, he decided to rebel, and led Zhao Dezhi, Wu Youzhi and others to rob the prisoner car and kill Tang Xi.
Although Zhao Dezhi was appreciated by Wang Wu, he knew that the official government was unreliable, so he still obeyed Duan Qi's orders. Seeing Duan Qi ordering the robbery of the prisoner Tang Xi, he hesitated for a moment and then led his brothers to the county office.
Seeing that Tang Xi was about to be pushed into the county office, Zhao Dezhi led several dead soldiers to stop him. A few arrests were frightened, and after Zhao Dezhi cut down a few people, he waved his knife and went straight to the prisoner car.
Tang Xi's shackles and shackles on his neck had already been opened by Lu Qi, but others couldn't take a closer look, seeing Zhao Dezhi coming, Tang Xi knew that the time had come, and forcefully tore off the shackles, gently took off the cage, and his eyes were like lightning towards Zhao Dezhi. Zhao Dezhi was so frightened that he turned around and ran. Tang Xi did not chase and kill, but took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the crowd and disappear without a trace.
"The ghost killer is out, the ghost killer is out......" Zhao Dezhi shouted as he ran, and everyone saw that the prisoner car was empty, and the death row prisoner Tang Xi didn't know where to go.
Wang Wu was furious: "Duan Qi, you dare to let go of the imperial court!" ”
Duan Qi was even more angry: "Wang Wu, how much benefit have you received from Tang Xi, and you dare to set up a murderer privately." ”
If Duan Qi is not captured, how can Wang Wu explain to the imperial court? If he doesn't kill Wang Wu, how can Duan Qi repay his husband's blood revenge?
The two sides didn't say much, and the two groups of people fought to the death at the gate of the county government.

Liu Jia, Zhang Chuan, Qiu Guang, and Lu Qi sent Wang Wu and the others away, changed into civilian clothes, left the post house, walked out of the county seat, and waited for the two kings at the Wangfeng Pavilion at the foot of Xingshan Mountain. After a short time, the two kings came in a hurry, and the six ghosts gathered together to discuss their whereabouts.
Liu Jia said: "This time it's a big fuss, although Tang Xi was saved, but the identities of the six of me will be exposed sooner or later, and with this charge of killing the head, I have to be afraid of where I go." ”
Wang Feng said: "Don't be afraid, make a road guide, change your face, and continue to be free." ”
Lu Qi said: "What Brother A said is that if the six of us are unfortunately caught, it will be difficult to escape the suffering of a thousand cuts, if Mo Ruo takes refuge in Professor Fang's disciple, he has a gold medal for crimes, which can protect us from being pursued by the government, and when the wind and waves are calm in the future, we will make a plan." ”
Zhang Chuan said: "No, no, no, he is suffering there, and I won't enter his door." ”
Liu Jia said: "Brother, you lost the bet with Wang Feng and Wang Yu, how can you go back on your word, besides, if you don't go to Hangzhou for refuge, can we go there?" ”
Zhang Chuan said: "Let's go find Brother Tang." ”
Liu Jia said: "Where are they?" I'm afraid that before we find Brother Tang, the six of us will be killed. ”
Zhang Chuan was helpless, and he didn't object, Wang Feng and Wang Yu had no other way to think about it, so they had to agree to Liu Jia and Lu Qi's proposal.
The six of them stayed day and night, rushed back to Jiuxi and Eighteen Streams in a hurry, saw Fang Qing, Liu Jia knelt down and said: "Professor Fang, there are six of us, one steals, two cheats, three frauds, lack of benevolence and little righteousness, and is not small for evil, and the people on the rivers and lakes are called little ghosts." The Lucci brothers are kind-hearted, and they are fortunate to worship under the professor, turning from a ghost to a person, and the five of us are envious. ”
Zhang Chuan, Qiu Guang, Wang Feng, and Wang Yu also knelt down, and when Lu Qi saw it, he also knelt down and bowed: "Professor, accept them, they are the same as their disciples, although they are sinners in the imperial court, they are eager to change the Holy Religion and are willing to change evil and turn from good." ”
Fang Qing was surprised and delighted, and said: "You are sincere to the Tao, how can Fang Qing not be convenient, the six of you will follow me in the future, go to various places to spread benevolence, promote righteousness, preach rituals, spread wisdom, teach faith, and educate the people, why worry about the six ghosts and the six saints!" ”
The six of them were overjoyed and bowed three times. Fang Qing suffered from the six ghosts, and decided to go down the mountain to preach, but said: "With the help of the six of you, why worry about the Holy Sect, we will go down the mountain tomorrow, travel around Wuyue, and spread Confucianism, how about it?" ”
The six of them said happily: "I vow to follow the professor." ”
