Luo Kong and Wang Shan left after preaching in Shaolin Temple for more than a month, Wang Shan returned to Heming Mountain, Luo Kong preached all the way to the south, Shi'an and Tang Xi still practiced kung fu day after day, and unconsciously passed more than half a year.

In the early morning of this day, the clouds were thick, Shi'an practiced kicking in the woods three or four zhang away above the Dharma Cave, and practiced hard as usual to split the fork of the tree and punch the trunk of the tree. Looking at the branches that fell on the ground, Shi'an was frightened, this tea tree is as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and he can already break such a thick trunk with his bare hands?

Shi'an was ecstatic and rushed down the mountain.

When they came to the monk's room, the brothers were still asleep, and Shi'an quietly took out the rolling pin that he had treasured for three years, came to the empty practice ground, and placed the rolling pin between two stones.

Staring at the rolling pin, his parents, his sister, and the twelve brothers kept flashing in his mind, and his heart was full of anger as if he were in the present.

Shi Anyun had all his strength, and with a loud shout of "ah", he slammed his iron fist, and the rolling pin was split in two and broken in two.

In an instant, thunder roared in the sky in the distance, and heavy rain poured down. Shi'an didn't shelter from the rain, let it water, only to see him look sluggish and indifferently pick up two rolling pins, and come to the Demon Hall step by step. The Maitreya Buddha in the hall is kind and smiling, and he is also happy that Shi'an has been completed. The four King Kongs held green swords, golden whips, treasures, and pipas, and their eyes were even more angry, majestic, and they had the potential to eliminate the demons in the world.

Shi'an knelt down lightly in front of the Maitreya Buddha statue, put two rolling pins on the ground, and bowed to the ground three times.

Suddenly, Shi'an heard someone running quickly behind him, and when he looked back, it was Tang Xi who was drenched like a chicken in soup, and saw him standing at the door, kicking his breath while wiping the rain off his face with his hands.

"Strange thing, where does the thunderstorm come from in winter? Senior brother, why didn't you call me when you went down the mountain, causing me to be drenched like this," Tang Xi complained.

"Senior brother, I'm going down the mountain, don't you also want to go to Liaodong, then let's go tonight, otherwise as soon as I leave, Lord Huang will definitely strengthen his control when he sees someone fleeing, and it will be difficult to leave at that time."

Tang Xiwei asked, "So suddenly?" There are still three or four months before the three-year deadline, so why be in such a hurry, we just need to slip away ten days in advance. ”

"No, I have to leave tonight, junior brother, you go too, otherwise you really won't be able to leave then."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After the heavy rain, the temperature is sudden, at dusk, the snow is falling heavily, it doesn't take long, but I see the ice and snow up and down the Songshan Mountain, a white.

After practicing in the evening, everyone either sat by the fire to roast the fire, or got into the bed, some exchanged martial arts experience, some talked about the interesting stories of the New Year in their hometown, and some discussed the rumors of the Dajin invasion and the rebellion of the hungry people.

Shi'an and Tang Xi hid the items they needed in their cotton clothes and walked out quietly. Every night after the two of them finished practicing in the Luohan Hall, they would go outside, or in the woods, or in the practice ground, or on the mountain behind Tallinn to practice for a while, and everyone had long been accustomed to it, so when they saw the two of them go out, they thought that they were going to practice kung fu again.

"It's so cold and you're still practicing? It's crazy. ”

"The two of you want to be generals!"

"Fighting a war is not just based on kung fu, you have to use your brain, do you understand the art of war? Will the formation be? Do you know about astronomy and geography? If you don't understand these, no matter how good your kung fu is, you have courage and no strategy. ”

After Shi'an and Tang Xi walked out of the door, everyone's teasing words came from behind them.

When they went outside, they saw that the night was white, and there was no figure, so the two of them went into the woods and disappeared into the mountains.

Shi'an and Tang Xi walked forward in the snow with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and arrived outside Xuchang City at dawn. Shi'an said: "Senior brother, you go south from Xuchang to Luoshan, I want to go to Nanyang, Jingzhou, Yiling, and take a boat from Yiling to the west into Sichuan, let's separate." ”

Tang Xi took out twenty taels of silver and gave it to Shi'an Dao: "Senior brother accepts this idea of silver, and after you go back, remember to write to me from time to time, don't cut off the news." ”

Shi'an excused himself and said: "I'm ashamed, as a senior brother, how can I ask for my junior brother's silver?" ”

Tang Xi said: "Senior brother must accept it, among the senior brothers in Shaolin Temple, I only respect you alone, if you don't accept it, you don't want to recognize me as a junior brother." ”

Shi'an had no choice but to accept the silver, reluctantly separated from Tang Xi, and disappeared into the cold snow.

On the day of the cold winter wax moon, when everything is smashed.

In Gao County, Sichuan, the snow and ice are thick and the mountains and rivers are pressed, and the birds and beasts are hiding their whereabouts, but whether it is the county seat or the countryside, it is full of joy, because today is the end of the year---Chinese New Year's Eve.

San Lang Qianjiang Dragon King Gao hummed a little song and walked towards Duan Shi's house in the county yabian, and met Wulang poisonous bee Zong Lei on the way, Wang Gao approached Zong Lei's face, looked carefully at the scar on his face and said, "Yo, there is a scar?" Zong Lei snorted: "It doesn't matter, leave a scar as a sauvenir, it will be regarded as a medal, haha." ”

In the past three years, the twelve brothers defeated Lei Hu, another tyrant in Gao County, subdued the three brothers Qian Zhuang, Qian Fei and Qian Qiang in Qingfu Township, and defeated Zheng Wei and his gang in Yangtian Township, and more decisively, they defeated Zhou Zhiwei, the overlord of the county.

Zhou Zhiwei is in his forties, and has been in Gao County for more than 20 years, with a deep foundation, and is respectfully called "Wei County Order" on the road. Because Wulang poisonous bee Zong Lei and Zhou Zhiwei's brother collided in a brothel, the two sides refused to give in to each other, and finally made more and more trouble, causing the twelve brothers and Zhou Zhiwei and a group of more than 20 people to beat each other, Zhou Zhiwei's right leg was broken, and a group of younger brothers were scattered, and they couldn't set off any more storms.

It was in this battle that Gorou Zonglei was stabbed in the face, leaving a five-inch-long scar that has not healed to this day.

However, this battle, the impact is great, the consequences are serious, both sides are injured and disabled, Wang Xianyang can not cover it, the county order Wei Chun ordered Duan Shi, Wang Le and other twelve brothers to be detained, Zhou Zhiwei after the county Huimin Pharmacy doctor carefully treated, life saved, but one leg was scrapped, became lame. Later, Wang Suiyang secretly asked the history of the canon to come forward to reconcile with Zhou Zhiwei, Zhou Zhiwei also knew that the officialdom was dark, and he didn't know whether the proposition of the canonical history was the meaning of the county order, so he didn't dare to ask for too much money, so he had to be aggrieved and ask for perfection, and hurriedly withdrew after receiving three hundred taels of silver. The county magistrate Wei Chun saw that Zhou Zhiwei came to withdraw the lawsuit, although he knew that it was not in accordance with the law, but because he received the benefits of Wang Suiyang, he was also happy to be a favor, but it was a public case.

This result, except for Zhou Zhiwei, everyone was very happy.

The wicked never know gratitude.

Duan Shi got out of prison, and the first thing he did when he returned home was to beat his wife Miao Fenghua. This girl, during the more than three months that her husband was detained, only went to visit relatives in the prison three times, and only sent roast chicken and not alcohol, shouldn't she be beaten?

Duan Shi came out and was about to find someone to vent his anger, but his uncle Wang Xianyang repeatedly warned that the incident should not be repeated, so he had to vent all his anger on his own lady. The poor weak girl Miao Fenghua was beaten to her knees and begged for mercy, and begged her husband to let herself go for the sake of the husband and wife's past relationship, who expected Duan Shi to be ruthless and inhumane, and finally broke his wife's three ribs before resting.

After the fight, Duan Shi recruited the old little beauty Zhou Tao, and forced Miao Fenghua to pour wine for himself and Zhou Tao, and hugged the little beauty in front of her. Miao Fenghua knew that her husband was vicious and ruthless, so she had to swallow her anger for the time being and swallow this shame.

One day, Zhou Taojiao put her arms around Duan Shi's neck: "Duan Xun, after you were detained by the county government, the slave family went to Niutou Mountain Guanyin Temple to burn incense and draw lots, and the sign said that you do not respect the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods, so there is a disaster of 100 days, and after this disaster is over, you will be able to have good luck." ”

Duan Shi laughed when he heard this, and praised: "The little beauty really has a heart. ”

Zhou Tao said coquettishly: "The slave family made a wish at that time, as long as the Bodhisattva blesses you to come out as soon as possible, the slave family will repay your wish with you in the same Guanyin Temple in the Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

Duan Shi was willing to believe this nonsense, and said with a smile: "Poor Taoist priests and lewd monks deceive you brainless women. ”

Zhou Tao said coquettishly: "No, you must go on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and you must not believe in the affairs of the gods."

The real hero is amorous, and the fake hero is romantic.

Duan Shi ****, unable to withstand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the little beauty, said happily: "Okay, it's up to you." ”

Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhou Tao came early in the morning with offerings such as candy, fragrant tea, and paper money, and Duan Shi saw that Zhou Tao really came, and suddenly remembered what he had promised before, and asked in surprise: "Really want to go?" ”

Zhou Taojiao said drippingly: "What, you promised someone else's things, but you have to regret it?" Oh, people made a big wish for you, it's freezing today, but you don't accompany others, let the slave family go up the mountain alone to be frozen, you have no conscience! ”

Miao Fenghua also smiled: "Yes, Sister Zhou Tao made a wish for you, you should accompany others to repay your wish, and you can't live up to your sister's infatuation." ”

Duan Shi saw that Miao Fenghua also said, happy in his heart, go and go, but after thinking about it, it still can't work, "My twelve brothers have to get together every year in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I went to the mountain as the eldest brother, but it is very inappropriate to put the brothers aside," Duan Shi quickly shook his head and waved his hand.

"Simply, wait for the brothers to come and go together," Miao Fenghua said: "This also seems pious!" ”

Zhou Taoxi said: "It's best to be so good, or my sister thinks about it thoroughly." ”

Duan Shi smiled: "It's okay, take the brothers up the mountain to play." ”

After a while, Wang Le and other eleven people came one after another, heard that they were going to Guanyin Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, everyone was happy, everyone rode on horses, and ran towards Niutou Mountain with wine, meat, paper money and other things laughing.

Niutou Mountain is not high, but the lone peak rises to the sky, which is quite imposing. There is a vacant land the size of three or four acres on the top of the mountain, and the surrounding slope is steep and the forest is deep, from the bottom of the mountain to the peak, there is only one sheep intestine winding path around the mountain. Nearby villagers built this Guanyin Temple on the top of the mountain, surrounded by a wall, leaving only a gate to enter, the first room inside is the Tianwang Palace, and then inside is a large open space of about one acre, the open space is the Guanyin Hall in the past, and the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined.

The temple gate is usually not locked, and on a daily basis, there are a few old women in the village who have nothing to do in the early morning to clean the temple, open the door and burn incense, and receive good men and women who offer incense. Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, after the old women came to the temple early to clean up, they were busy going home to cook Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and only a dozen pilgrims were busy burning incense and worshipping the Buddha.

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly: "Neighbors, the twelve brothers are here, and for the New Year, everyone should avoid it quickly, so as not to cause trouble." ”

When everyone saw that these twelve fierce gods had come to Guanyin Temple for the first time, they guessed that there would be no good deeds, and they hurriedly packed up their things and fled from the thorny jungle in the back mountain in a panic.

Duan Shi 12 people came to the foot of the mountain, abandoned their horses and climbed the mountain on foot, they never saw a single figure along the way, and they climbed for half an hour before they arrived at the gate of the temple. Seeing that there was no one outside the Guanyin Temple, Duan Shi said with a smile: "I, Duan Shi, came to enter the incense and repay my wishes in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and if the integrity is so, the Buddha and the Bodhisattva will definitely bless me to be rich next year, hahaha." ”

Zhou Tao smiled when he heard this: "It is best for the Buddha and the Bodhisattva to be immortals in the sky." ”

Everyone laughed heartily and strode into the temple while laughing.

Everyone walked through the Tianwang Hall and came to the open space outside the gate of the Guanyin Hall. Duan Shi turned around and didn't see Zhou Tao following up, expecting that she was worshipping the Four Heavenly Kings in the Heavenly King Palace, so he shouted: "Beauty, come in quickly." ”

As soon as the words fell, they heard a loud "bump" behind them, and everyone looked back and was surprised.

The door was closed, and a sturdy man slowly appeared from the Heavenly King's Palace, only to see him holding two broken rolling pins, his expression was cold and murderous, and his sword-like gaze was straight towards everyone, which frightened the twelve stout villains.

The one who came was none other than Hong Shi'an.

It turned out that Hong Shi'an returned to Gao County and found that his father had died, and after going to the grave to pay respects to his parents, he went to the hotel where his sister worked in the county three years ago and met the helper Jin Li. After the death of his sister three years ago, in addition to the shopkeeper Cheng Jia swearing that his sister fell to her death, the helper Jin Li and Zhou Tao were secretive when they talked, so Shi'an always suspected that there was another reason for his sister's death.

Jin Li saw that it was Hong Shi'an, so she made an appointment to meet in the evening, and took Zhou Tao and Shi'an to meet in a remote alley that night. Jin Li and Zhou Tao told Shi'an that three years ago, Twelve Lang Jiang Shengjiu later teased Hong Shiqing in the hotel, Hong Shiqing ran to the second floor to hide, Jiang Sheng chased after him, although Hong Shiqing shouted for help, how could the shopkeeper be afraid of Jiang Sheng's obscenity, and when he heard the cry for help, he not only did not go upstairs to stop it, but found an excuse to leave the hotel. Several female helpers were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak out, and let Hong Shiqing suffer. It didn't take long for everyone to go out to see that Shiqing had fallen to the ground, blood flowing, and Jiang Sheng hurriedly went downstairs to leave, scolding while running, "I don't know what to do." Later, Dalang Duan Shi and the hotel owner Cheng Jia rushed to the scene with Ding Jian and others, Ding Jian took seven or eight fast catchers and servants to evacuate the crowd of onlookers and survey the scene, and Cheng Jia took Duan Shi to gather five helpers to lecture them. Cheng Jia said: "Human life is at stake, we will ask questions later, and don't talk nonsense if you don't see it with your own eyes." Duan Shi threatened everyone with red eyes: "The little girl accidentally fell off when she was cleaning the room, you have to tell the official truthfully, whoever wants to talk nonsense, the life of the whole family is difficult to protect." Seeing Duan Shi's fierceness, everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound, but they just nodded vigorously. After Duan Shi finished explaining, Ding Jian asked everyone, Duan Shi and Cheng Jia stood behind Ding Jian, which of the people dared to tell the truth, either they said they didn't know, or they said that Hong Shiqing accidentally fell down while cleaning the room. Ding Jian was overjoyed and asked all the witnesses to draw on the testimony, and so far, this tragic case of deliberately forcing people to die has turned into an accidental death incident.

It was at this time that Duan Shi, who was in his thirties, fell in love with nineteen-year-old Zhou Tao and eighteen-year-old Jin Li, and after the matter subsided, Duan Shi forcibly raped the two and forced Zhou Tao to be his own friend by threatening to kill the whole family. Although Zhou Tao followed Duan Shi, she often hugged and cried with Jin Li in private. Zhou Tao found that Duan Shi often beat Miao Fenghua, and Miao Fenghua also hated Duan Shi to the core, and after a long time, Miao Fenghua, Jin Li, and Zhou Tao took pity on each other and became good friends.

After Jin Li and Zhou Tao learned of Hong Shi'an's intention, they found Miao Fenghua to conspire, and the three women worked together to help Shi'an settle this plan to lure the snake out of the hole.

People who always think about how many good things they have done are not really good people, and people who always think about how many bad things they have done are not really bad people.

"Who is this man?" The twelve wicked people were all surprised, everyone had long forgotten the bad things they had done three years ago.

But Shi'an's eyes showed a fierce light, although everyone couldn't remember the bad things they had done, they could guess that the enemy had come to the door.

Duan Shi pointed to Shi An and asked sharply, "Who are you?" ”

Hong Shi'an saw the twelve wicked people, full of anger, clenched the rolling pin with both hands, and asked coldly: "Duan Shi, do you remember Hongjia Village three years ago?" ”

After everyone listened, they remembered the past, and it turned out that the man in front of them was the stunned boy in Hongjia Village. "Oh, it was you, you're not dead?" Duan Shi teased, and the other eleven let out a wild laugh.

Shi An sneered, raised his fist and said: "You bully the people on weekdays, and you think you are sorry, so today I will come to see my Shaolin Iron Fist, so I can teach you what real kung fu is." ”

Duan Shi was shocked when he heard the words "Shaolin Iron Fist", this kid has not heard from him for three years, it turned out that he went to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts, thinking of this, Duan Shi suddenly lost the majesty and momentum just now, clenched his fists nervously, and his heart went up and down.

Chen Sheng was fat, and he didn't take Shi'an in his eyes at all, and pointed at Shi'an and said to the brothers: "Heh, he also deliberately went to Shaolin Temple to learn kung fu!" Can a toad climb to the top of a tree and jump into the sky? ”

The evil laughed, Wang Gao smiled and proposed: "He is a toad, he will definitely fall on all fours, ten brothers, three years ago he beat you three times and didn't fall, you only punched him, he went to the ghost city of Fengdu, or, today you will give him a four-legged face to the sky to make everyone happy?" ”

Chen Sheng was overjoyed: "Okay, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the little brother is not talented, so I will play with this toad and have some fun for the brothers." ”

Shi'an gently put down the two rolling pins, bowed down to the Guanyin statue in the Guanyin Hall and said: "Bodhisattva, Shi'an is not a tyrannical and murderous person, but the sky has no way, and favors this generation of wicked people to harm the good. ”

After Shi'an finished worshipping, he slowly got up, clenched his fists with both hands and pressed step by step, and slowly approached Chen Sheng: "Three years ago, I punched you three times, and you punched me once, and today I asked you to punch me three times first, and I only punched you once." ”

"Joke, how can I, Chen Sheng, take advantage of you?" Chen Sheng felt that he was a well-known local hero, and if this matter spread, it would definitely affect his reputation in Gao County, and insisted: "The old rule, if you punch me three times, I will only ......"

Before Chen Sheng finished speaking, Wang Le hurriedly cut off: "Okay, big brother, let's just rely on this toad." Wang Le already felt that Hong Shi'an was not good, and wanted to take this opportunity to see Hong Shi'an's strength.

Duan Shi nodded and said, "That is the case, tenth brother, you give him three iron fists first, and try whether this stubborn stone is hard or not." ”

The eldest brother and the second brother all said it, and Chen Sheng couldn't insist anymore, so he said fiercely: "Why do you need three punches, even if he is a stone, I will smash him with one punch." ”

Shi Anyun had enough strength, his feet were slightly open, he looked at Chen Sheng, hooked his hand at him, and said "um" in his mouth, signaling Chen Sheng to fight.

Chen Sheng held himself tall and tall, shouted "looking for death", stepped forward and punched hard, hitting Shi'an in the face, Shi'an tilted his head, although the punch was heavy, but it was transferred, and Shi'an stood still as if nothing happened. Chen Sheng was taken aback when he saw it, and suddenly felt that he had lost face in front of the brothers, and he couldn't help but be furious, and with another punch, Shi'an tilted his head up slightly, on the surface, Chen Sheng completely hit Shi'an's head, but in fact, the power of this punch had been silently dissolved.

Chen Sheng saw that Shi'an was unscathed, frightened and embarrassed.

But what was even more surprised was not Chen Sheng, but Duan Shi, Wang Le and Jiang Sheng, in addition to being able to fight, these three people are also very smart, and they are considered to be scheming people among the twelve brothers, and now they see that Chen Sheng's two fists are useless, and they are secretly horrified, it seems that this young man is no longer the honest hillbilly of three years ago, and this time he dares to come alone to seek revenge, he must have a unique skill.

Perhaps, today is really the day of the catastrophe of the twelve brothers, thinking of this, Duan Shi shuddered in his heart, and hurriedly summoned Wang Le and Jiang Sheng to the side and said softly: "After the tenth brother punches the third time, don't care about the morality of the rivers and lakes, and all the brothers will pounce on it and tear this kid apart." ”

Duan Shi had just finished giving the order, and there was a scream from there, it turned out that Chen Sheng couldn't bear it, and hurriedly threw a third punch, which just landed on Shi'an's chest, Shi'an not only did not take half a step back, but immediately punched and shouted: "It's my turn." The punch hit Chen Sheng's face, and Chen Sheng fell to the ground without a sound as if he had been hit by a hammer.

Shi'an's movements were fast and his punches were ruthless, which shocked all the evils.

Chen Sheng's fat body fell right at the feet of Zhao Yi, the Balang Plum Blossom Leopard, Zhao Yi bent down to probe Chen Sheng's nostrils, and looked at his eldest brother Duan Shi and shook his head gently.

Chen Sheng died.

The remaining eleven people were silent before everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.

However, the silence can only be temporary, because Shi'an clenched his iron fist and forced him step by step.

"Kill him and avenge the tenth brother!" Duan Shi suddenly gave an order, he thought, no matter how powerful you are, you are only one person, how can you be my opponent.

How did he know that Shi'an studied art in Shaolin Temple for three years, and often fought against more than ten brothers alone, and had already practiced kung fu with one enemy and ten, although the twelve brothers said that they could fight well, but after all, they were all rabble, how could they be against Shaolin Iron Fist? With just a cup of tea, the shouting and fighting subsided, replaced by a burst of miserable "ouch" sounds.

Shi'an stood in the center of all evils, as steady as Mount Tai, with a pair of iron fists stained with blood. All the evils fell to the ground, or lying down, or sitting, or kneeling, or the nose and face were swollen, or the flesh and blood were blurred, one by one.

Shi'an counted, plus the dead Chen Xiang, there are only eleven on the ground, what about Duan Shi?

It turned out that after Duan Shi gave the order, he didn't do it, but took advantage of the chaos to look for things that could be used as weapons in various places in the temple, looked for them, and found a long-handled axe for chopping firewood in the firewood room. With the axe, Duan Shi was much more courageous, and he ran out excitedly to take a look, dumbfounded, his brothers all fell at the feet of the stunned boy.

Duan Shi was furious, raised his axe, and shouted to kill Shi'an, Shi'an avoided the first axe, kicked Duan Shi's hand with the axe, and kicked the axe down. Duan Shi turned around and pounced again, his left arm stretched out, his five fingers spread apart, wanting to grab Shi'an's neck, his right arm was bent, and he clenched his fist to attack. Shi'an's upper body gently deviated to the right, Duan Shi not only did not catch Shi'an, but was grabbed by Shi'an with his left hand and pulled by his left arm, his left knee was raised violently and hit Duan Shi's abdomen, and his right fist hit Duan Shi's neck.

Shi'an's hatred for the past three years once exploded, with the most force, this knee punch, a collision and a blow, beat a fat one-eyed wolf to unbearable pain, eyes blooming, curled up on the ground and screamed. Shi'an grabbed Duan Shi from the ground and punched his stomach, chest, and head like crazy, poor Duan Shikong had a body as strong as a yak, but he couldn't withstand Hong Shi'an's Shaolin iron fist that he had practiced hard for three years, and he was so painful that he only shouted for mercy.

Shi'an's eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were wide with anger, and when he saw Duan Shi begging for mercy, he held the enemy's head with both hands and shook it desperately, shouting hysterically: "Aren't you very majestic on weekdays?" Why is it so spineless today? I beg you to spare you, I'm going to kill you!" "It was another beating.

Although Duan Shi was sane, he had no power to resist, so he had to be tortured by Shi'an.

After Shi'an calmed down a little, he looked at Duan Shi's embarrassed appearance and sneered: "I thought that you, a fat pig, would definitely be able to withstand my beating, but how do you know that it is so unbearable, I haven't beaten it yet, and you beg for mercy." ”

Shi'an slowly stood up, his face was full of indifference, he stepped on Duan Shi's head, and with one force, he trampled this wicked man to death in front of the statue of Guanyin.

Wang Le was the most pragmatic, seeing that his eldest brother was trampled to death, although he knew that there was more than one bad luck, but he still held a glimmer of hope for survival, and begged: "Brother, as long as you let us go, we will worship you as the eldest brother, let you drive, and Gao County will be yours in the future." ”

When the other nine people heard this, they didn't care about their dignity, cried and worshiped on the ground, and mourned with Wang Le for forgiveness.

Shi'an slowly picked up the rolling pin and suddenly shouted: "Begging for mercy today, it's too late!" I saw him holding his rolling pin high and slamming the heads of these wicked people, and for a while, the wails of grief spread all over the high mountains, and the splashes of black blood stained the golden body of the Bodhisattva......

Shi'an was red-eyed, holding a bloodstained rolling pin and hurried down the mountain, sneaking to Cheng Jia's door, this evil shopkeeper is really hateful, how can he vent his anger if he doesn't kill? Shi'an peeked through the crack in the door and saw that Cheng Jia's family was having a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and saw that in addition to Cheng Jia and his wife, there were two old people in their sixties and seventies around the dinner table, and three smiling children, secretly thinking to himself: "There is a person in the rivers and lakes who says' The hero of the thief', he once said, the righteous man kills, on good and evil, regardless of enmity, on right and wrong, regardless of interests, after all, his sister was not killed directly by him, he may have been afraid of the twelve brothers, hidden bitterness, besides, if I kill him, but it will hurt several people in his family, how can I Hong Shi'an not know right and wrong, indiscriminately kill innocents? ”

With good thoughts, the demon became a Buddha, Shi'an put down his hatred, collected his murderous spirit, and turned around and walked towards Hongcun.

The next day, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, more than a dozen panicked villagers came to the county government to report that 12 people had died in the Guanyin Temple.

The county ordered Weichun to go home for the New Year, all affairs were managed by the county Cheng Puji, Puji called the history of Zhang Honglei, Zhang Honglei recruited the head catcher Wang Xunyang, Wang Xunyang was shocked when he heard it, he didn't see his son Wang Le come back last night, so he personally went to his nephew Duan Shi's house to find it, Miao Fenghua cried and told Duan Shi and other twelve brothers did not go home for the New Year, I don't know where to fool around, Wang Xunyang was still very angry at that time, and secretly blamed this nephew and son for being too presumptuous.

You have to report the murder today, don't you?

Wang Suiyang rushed to Guanyin Temple with more than a dozen catchers and servants worriedly, and opened the door to see that the deceased was his son Wang Le and nephew Duan Shi and other twelve people. Wang Suiyang is in his fifties, and he is the only son under his knees, how can he bear this great catastrophe, and he was paralyzed in shock for a while.

The murder of the twelve brothers was a major murder case, and it was reported to the state capital by law, but the county commander Wei Chun has always regarded himself as a clean official, and repeatedly advocated in front of his boss that there was peace and quiet in Gao County, and Pu Ji did not dare to be self-conscious, so he sent someone to secretly inform Wei Chun. Wei Chun was so shocked that he rushed back to the county council, and after weighing it again, he wrote a submission on the one hand, instructing Yi Cheng not to report it for the time being, and on the other hand, ordering the arrest house to arrest the murderer as soon as possible.

The headhunter Wang Suiyang vowed to avenge his son and nephew, and after receiving the order, he captured several groups of Gaoxian hooligans who had had grievances with the twelve brothers in one go. The vengeful Wang Zhutou personally whipped and tortured these gangsters and forced them to ask who the murderers were. What is disappointing is that although more than a dozen villains such as Lei Hu, Zhou Zhiwei, Qian Zhuang, Qian Fei, and Qian Qiang were threatened, lured, and tortured, none of them admitted to killing anyone.

A month later, there was still no progress in the case, the classic history Zhang Honglei and the head catcher Wang Suiyang were in a hurry, and the county commander Wei Chun scolded the two, and after the anger subsided, he instructed the two of them: "From ancient times to the present, how can anyone kill someone and take the initiative to confess?" After Wu Song killed someone, he wrote on the wall, 'The murderer beats the tiger Wu Song', it was all made up by Shi Nai'an, if he was really arrogant and not afraid of death, why did he flee to Erlong Mountain for refuge? We are waiting for the court to eat and drink, and we should ensure the safety of one party, and the two of you, as canonical history and head hunters, should take special measures, how can you do the benevolence of women! Zhang Honglei and Wang Xunyang nodded yes again and again. Wei Chun was afraid that the two of them would have concerns, so he added earnestly: "Which one of Lei Hu, Zhou Zhiwei, Qian Zhuang, Qian Fei, and Qian Qiang is not burdened with a major murder case?" Even if this big case was not done by them, it is not wrong to take this opportunity to clean up them, even if they die, they will never be wronged. ”

Zhang Honglei and Wang Suiyang understood in their hearts, and shouted wonderfully about the high arguments of the county order, and after some sycophancy, the two took the order and left. When he returned to the prison, he immediately ordered the five people to be tortured, Zhang Honglei interrogated Zhou Zhiwei, Wang Suiyang forced Lei Hu to interrogate, and the three brothers Qian Zhuang, Qian Fei, and Qian Qiang were also arrested.

Wang Suiyang and the others used all the means to torture people, and went down for three days and three nights, neither food nor sleep for the five people, and forced them to admit that they had killed the twelve brothers.

The hard work paid off, Zhou Zhiwei finally couldn't stand it anymore, admitted that he had killed the twelve brothers, Zhang Honglei was overjoyed, and was busy asking Zhou Zhiwei to confess the whole crime process. Zhou Zhiwei didn't kill anyone, where to make up this story, he had to tell it nonsense. Zhang Honglei couldn't help but be disappointed again when he saw that the plot he said was completely inconsistent with the results of the investigation of the murder scene in Guanyin Temple. After pondering for a while, Zhang Honglei decided to induce it.

"Zhou Zhiwei, how did you break your leg?"

Zhou Zhiwei replied with a rough breath: "It was the twelve brothers who beat it, and you don't know it." ”

"Do you hate them?"

Zhou Zhiwei: "Hate, but my leg is broken, and my brothers are scattered, no matter how much I hate them, I can't help it......"

Before Zhou Zhiwei finished speaking, Zhang Honglei interrupted sharply: "So you spent money to hire a killer, yes or no?" ”

Zhou Zhiwei hurriedly said: "No, no, even if I want to spend money to find someone else to be angry for me, who in Gao County dares to take this job!" ”

Zhang Honglei saw that Zhou Zhiwei was about to deny it again, walked over to a few whips, and asked again: "It is precisely because the heroes of Gao County dare not that you hired Jianghu killers to commit murder, they came and went without a trace, never revealed their names and origins to you, and fled away from home after the killing, right?" ”

Zhou Zhiwei was beaten to the core: "Yes, what you say is what it is."

Zhang Honglei asked coldly: "How do you know these killers?" How many of them are there? ”

Zhou Zhiwei: "How do I know?"

Zhang Honglei shouted: "Is it a casino? You only know one of the killers, and the others are all found by him, yes and no? ”

Zhou Zhiwei shrugged his head and replied weakly: "What you said is right. ”

Zhang Honglei was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered Zhou Zhiwei to be put in prison, and strode to the second hall to report to Wei Chun. Wei Chun was worried about this big case, and when he saw Zhang Honglei's eagerness with a bit of joy, he asked happily: "Lord Zhang, can there be a suspect confessing?" ”

"Recruited, recruited, Zhou Zhiwei recruited."

Wei Chun was overjoyed: "I know that Lord Zhang will not disappoint me, Lord Zhang, please sit down." Wei Chun was rarely enlightened, moved a chair for Zhang Honglei, and made tea himself, and after Zhang Honglei sat down first, Wei Chun sat down next to him, looking at him eagerly with a pair of big eyes, waiting for him to tell him the good news.

Zhang Honglei was flattered, took a sip of tea, and said in fear: "Let the adults pour tea for the lowly position, and it will be humiliating." ”

Wei Chun said: "Lord Zhang has worked hard, come on, how did Zhou Zhiwei kill the twelve brothers?" ”

Zhang Honglei smiled, very proud in his heart, and said to Wei Chun: "Zhou Zhiwei has a grudge against the broken leg since he fought with the twelve brothers, and it happened that he met a killer named 'Scar' when he was gambling in the casino on the fifth day of the lunar month last year, and Zhou Zhiwei spent money to hire 'Scar' to get rid of the twelve brothers. At noon on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, "Scar" found more than ten killers to ambush twelve brothers in Guanyin Temple, and left Gao County without knowing where to go. ”

Wei Chun heard the loud shout and said: "Lord Zhang, this case needs to be struck while the iron is hot, and the official will be promoted to the court immediately, and when the confession is recorded, it will be reported to the Yibin Mansion immediately." ”

The two were about to go to the public hall to ascend to the court, but they saw Wang Suiyang running in a hurry, and Wei Chun said: "Wang Zhutou came just in time, the official will be promoted to the court immediately, you go and inform the official immediately." ”

Wang Suiyang said with a rough breath: "What is the matter with the promotion of the adult?" ”

Zhang Honglei said proudly: "My lord wants to try the case of the murder of the twelve brothers, you go and prepare, there must be no mistakes." ”

Wang Suiyang was taken aback and asked, "How do you know that Lei Hu has confessed?" ”

"What? Lei Hu also recruited? Wei Chun was surprised, and Zhang Honglei opened his mouth in shock.

Wang Xianyang said: "Yes, Lei Hu confessed that he came out of the mountains on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and happened to meet Duan Shi and his gang to stop him, and the twelve brothers forcibly took Lei Hu back to Lei Hu's house, and insisted that Lei Hu take wine and meat out to entertain, Lei Hu secretly drugged the wine, and after the twelve brothers fainted, they were killed one by one on their backs at Guanyin Temple, in an attempt to blame others. ”

"Ridiculous, ridiculous, how can there be two murderers in the same case?" Wei Chun appointed himself as a clean official, and the Qing official An Ke wronged a good person, and after listening to Wang Suiyang's confession, he reproached: "There must be a real murderer among the two, and you will examine it carefully, and you must not fool the official." ”

Zhang Honglei and Wang Suiyang were submissive, and hurriedly said: "Yes, let's go and verify it." ”

Wei Chun turned around and wanted to leave, but when he found that the Land Rover was hurrying over, Wei Chun asked in surprise: "Could it be that the three brothers of the Qian family have also been recruited?" Land Rover bowed his hand and said: "My lord is wise, I have recruited, I have recruited all." ”

"Nonsense, nonsense!" Wei Chun scolded and shook his hand away, making Land Rover inexplicable, and Zhang Honglei and Wang Xunyang were not embarrassed.

Just as Zhang Honglei, Wang Suiyang, and Land Rover looked at each other, the official came to invite: "Lord Zhang, Wang Zhutou, Land Rover, my lord is invited." The three of them came to the second hall tremblingly, only to see Wei Chun sitting behind the copywriting and his anger did not subside, the county Cheng Puji, and the lord Bo Ruan Dahai were also beside him, and the three of them called out carefully: "My lord." Wei Chun sighed and said, "Sit down." After the three of them thanked them, they sat down and asked, "Land Rover, tell your lord how the three brothers of the Qian family confessed." Land Rover cautiously replied: "The villain was tortured according to the instructions of the adults, and the Qian brothers confessed that they had lost face in Gao County because of their defeat in the battle with the twelve brothers last year, so they were determined to regain face." The three inquired in advance that Duan Shi wanted to take the twelve brothers to the Guanyin Temple to make incense, so they ambushed more than twenty thugs in the Guanyin Temple, and after the twelve brothers entered the temple, the three brothers of the Qian family led the crowd to break into the temple and kill the twelve brothers, and then took advantage of the opportunity when there was no one on the road of the Chinese New Year's Eve to abscond home for the New Year, pretending to be fine. ”

Wei Chun thought for a while and said: "Last year, the Qian family brothers fought with Duan Shi and other twelve people, and the forty members of the Qian family were defeated by the twelve brothers, how could the twenty or so people kill all the twelve brothers this time?" As for Lei Hu's confession that he turned over the twelve brothers with sweat medicine, and then went to Guanyin Temple to kill people, I think it is also nonsense, and the autopsy did not find any signs of poisoning of the deceased. The most credible confession is Zhou Zhiwei, although Zhou Zhiwei is a cripple, but it is not impossible for him to hire a killer to kill people. ”

Pu Ji praised: "The adult's analysis is reasonable. Ruan Dahai also said: "Zhou Zhiwei has a crippled leg, and he hates the twelve brothers to the core, and his motive for committing the crime is the strongest. Pu Ji added: "This case has a great impact, the county government has not solved the case for more than a month, and the people have many criticisms, so it is better for adults to close the case as soon as possible." ”

If it is another murder case, it is okay to be confused, but the deceased in this case is a close relative of Wang Suiyang, so Wang Suiyang does not want to close the case hastily. Zhou Zhiwei crippled a leg, the so-called hired murder is too general, if Zhou Zhiwei is not the real murderer, then wouldn't the enemy who killed his nephew and son get away with it? Therefore, seeing that Wei Chun wanted to close the case, Wang Suiyang hurriedly stopped: "Adult, the villain thinks it's ......."

Wei Chunzao saw Wang Suiyang's thoughts, and before he finished speaking, he slapped the table and interrupted him, and shouted: "Wang Zhutou, this case is very important, if the case is not concluded in time, it will definitely cause riots among the people, how do you let this official explain to the court?" Also, Duan Shi and Wang Le are your closest relatives, as the head catcher, over the years, instead of strictly controlling them, you have allowed them to run rampant in the township and oppress the people, can you be guilty? ”

Seeing that Wei Chun was angry, Wang Xianyang was worried that Wei Chun would put on a crime of conniving at his relatives to bully the township, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and said: "The villain knows the guilt, the villain is not strict in discipline, and the villain is guilty." ”

"Hmph, ascend!" Wei Chun ordered that the wolf-like official should be caught in the court by Zhou Zhiwei, who was covered in bruises, and Zhou Zhiwei could not kneel on the ground, so he could only lie down on the court. Seeing Zhou Zhiwei's miserableness, Wei Chun couldn't help frowning, and felt a slight sense of compassion in his heart.

Wei Chun shook his heart, slapped the shocked wood and asked, "Zhou Zhiwei, are you guilty?" Zhou Zhiwei's breath was weak, and he confessed with great difficulty: "I killed the twelve brothers." Wei Chun asked again: "How did you kill it?" Recruit from the truth. Zhou Zhiwei muttered to himself, no one could hear what he said, Zhang Honglei said sharply on the side: "Zhou Zhiwei, you were disabled by the twelve brothers, so you held a grudge, and spent two hundred taels of silver to hire the Jianghu killer 'Scar', and the 'Scar' recruited several killers, they took advantage of the twelve brothers to go to the Guanyin Temple to incense and poisoned their hands, and absconded after committing the crime, yes or no?" Zhou Zhiwei said weakly: "Yes." Wei Chun was overjoyed, let the scribe record it, and wrote a confession according to Zhang Honglei's questioning and threw it to Zhou Zhiwei.

Wei Chun got a confession, and quickly ordered the messenger to hold a letter card to send several of Zhou Zhiwei's former brothers, and obtained Zhou Zhiwei's testimony that he often sighed, scolded the twelve brothers, and cursed Duan Shi's early death. He also asked the officials to collect kitchen knives, wooden sticks, iron rods and other tools from Zhou Zhiwei's house, among which the wooden sticks roughly matched the wounds on the deceased's body. Wei Chun saw that the human and physical evidence was complete, and he was overjoyed, so he made a judgment:

The murderer Zhou Zhiwei was a villain in Gao County, and Duan Shi, Wang Le, Wang Gao, Jin Yuansi, Zong Lei, Yuan Yi, Lin Zhilie, Zhao Yi, Zhao Li, Chen Sheng, Yang Lingyou, Jiang Sheng and other twelve brothers had a gap. The murderer is naturally unrighteous, and the sword is even more ruthless. Zhou Zhiwei's legs were abolished, so he held a grudge against Duan Shi and others, thought of revenge, and often had murderous intentions. One day, he spent 200 taels of silver to hire a strong 'scar' from the rivers and lakes, and robbed and killed Duan Shi and 12 others when they entered the Guanyin Temple in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. The mastermind Zhou Zhiwei was arrested, confessed, and was beheaded according to the law.

Wei Chun settled the case, wrote the disc, handed it over to Yi Cheng, and ordered it to be sent to Yibin Mansion in an urgent manner the next morning. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, such serious cases need to be reported to the Criminal Department layer by layer, first reviewed by the Criminal Department, and then sent to Dali Temple for review, and finally submitted to the emperor Zhu for approval by the celebrant eunuch. As soon as the case was concluded, the stone in Wei Chun's heart finally fell, and when he returned to the inner house, he let out a long sigh, lay lazily on the chair, and hummed a little song easily.

Before the song was over, the inner house came to report: "My lord, Lord Bo has submitted an official document, which was issued by the Sichuan Chengxuan Political Secretary. Wei Chun waved his hand and said, "Put it aside, the official is tired today, and we will discuss it tomorrow." Menzi put down the official document and left, Wei Chun yawned, lay on the chair and fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was late at night, Wei Chun called the servant to get hot water to wash his face and feet, and asked the cook to fry a few dishes, and he poured himself a drink and ate it. Seeing that it was almost ugly, Wei Chun was full of wine and food, put down his chopsticks, burped, stood up and moved for a while, and suddenly saw an official document on the table, picked it up and opened it, it turned out to be a notice sent by the Sichuan Chengxuan Political Department to arrest Hong Shi'an, a villager in Hongjia Village, this county, and the text said:

Hong Shi'an, a Diao citizen of Hongjia Village, Gao County, enlisted in Liaodong Xubian, enjoyed the imperial court, and the military department was sent to Shaolin to train soldiers, absconded halfway, and was specially ordered to be arrested and brought to justice in Gao County, punished by law, and relatives sat together.

"Such a trivial matter, why worry about it, let Wang Zhutou take a few people to Hongjia Village tomorrow." Wei Chun dropped the official document and went back to the inner hall to rest.

5

Early the next morning, Wei Chun handed over the official document to Wang Suiyang, Wang Suiyang came to Hongjia Village with six catches fast and slow, first looked for the chief to pull the family for a while, and then put on the banquet to eat, after three rounds of wine, and then asked about Hong Shi'an's situation. After the twelve brothers were killed, the people of Gao County applauded, and the chief also hated these wicked people, and when he saw the arrest coming today, he guessed that the county government must have regarded Hong Shi'an as a suspect, and deliberately defended him: "Hong Shi'an was beaten by the twelve brothers three years ago and fled, his parents died of grief, he came back once a year ago, but after paying tribute to his parents, he disappeared. This kid is loyal, and he doesn't know martial arts, even if he has the intention to commit murder, how can he kill the twelve brothers alone, and the adults are afraid that they are looking for the wrong person. ”

Wang Suiyang was picking up the wine bowl to eat, and was shocked when he heard this, he threw the wine bowl to the ground, grabbed the chief and said viciously: "What did you say?" Hong Shi'an had a holiday with the twelve brothers? ”

The elder was shocked, so he had to truthfully tell him about the incident of the twelve brothers making trouble in Hongjia Village three years ago. Wang Suiyang was overjoyed, and went to the village to find someone to investigate, and some villagers saw Hong Shi'an covered in blood on the first day of the Lunar New Year on the grave of his parents and sister. Wang Xianyang led the crowd to rush to the grave to take a look, and found that there were two bloody rolling pins in front of the grave of Hong Shi'an's father Hong Qilin......

Wang Xianyang immediately put away the rolling pin and hurried back to the county office with the witnesses who had seen Hong Shi'an's grave with his own eyes. Wang Xianyang asked the lieutenant chief and the witnesses to wait outside the public hall, and he broke into the second hall to find Wei Chunyu and said: "My lord, Hong Shi'an, a prisoner in Hongjia Village, had a deep hatred with the twelve brothers three years ago, and then fled to the Shaolin Temple, enlisted in the army under the pretext of enlisting in the name of conscription, and fled back to his hometown after three years of Shaolin martial arts, and killed the twelve brothers with a rolling pin in the Chinese New Year's Eve. Now that Hong Shi'an is missing, the villain has brought human and physical evidence. ”

"Nonsense, how can Hong Shi'an kill twelve people alone?" Zhang Honglei, who was standing on the side, reprimanded.

Wei Chun fell into deep thought: two bloody rolling pins were held tightly in Wang Suiyang's hands, and the villagers waiting to testify were outside the court, and it was an indisputable fact that the twelve brothers had a blood feud with Hong Shi'an, and the official document of the political secretary confirmed that Hong Shi'an had studied martial arts in Shaolin in the past three years, so it was inferred that this case must have been committed by Hong Shi'an.

However, at this time, it was already Shen Shi, and Zhou Zhiwei's official document on killing people had been sent for half a day......

Wang Xianyang saw that Zhang Honglei didn't believe it, Wei Chun hesitated, and hurriedly said to the two: "That Hong Shi'an studied martial arts in Shaolin, presumably his kung fu is good, and he killed people to take revenge after returning to his hometown this time, and he was covered in blood on the first day of the New Year to worship his deceased relatives, and there are witnesses who have seen it with their own eyes." The village chief and witnesses of Hongjia Village were waiting outside the court, and if the two adults did not believe it, they would know as soon as they went to the court. ”

"This ......" Wei Chun is in trouble, judging from the current situation, Hong Shi'an is indeed the real murderer, but the county government has designated Zhou Zhiwei as the real murderer, and the dish has been reported, and it cannot be recovered, and then it is changed, isn't he, a Qing official, guilty of disregarding people's lives?

Zhang Honglei took the two rolling pins, and after careful inspection, there were indeed blood stains on them, and he was immediately dumbfounded.

"Wang Zhutou, that Hong Shi'an evaded military service and deserved to die for his crime, this is also death, that is also death, and it is all one death. The officer shall immediately issue a document for the arrest of the prisoner, and you shall do your best to arrest the criminal, and on the day he is brought to justice, the officer will surely let him die without a place to be buried. As for the case of the murder of the twelve brothers, the county has already made a decision, so you should let the chief and the neighbors go back, it is the spring ploughing season, so don't delay the people's farm work. ”

Wei Chun is a veteran of officialdom after all, and he is unwilling to bring trouble to himself anymore, in order to appease Wang Suiyang, he instructed Zhang Honglei: "Recently, the brothers who have been arresting the house have worked very hard, and you go to the house to receive thirty taels of silver for Wang to catch the head, which can be regarded as a reward for the brothers." ”

Zhang Honglei understood and said busily: "Adults are sympathetic to the brothers, it is really very benevolent, adults can rest assured, the humble duty will be done immediately." ”

Seeing this, Wang Suiyang also understood what Wei Chun meant, the case has been decided, and it cannot be changed. But he is right, Hong Shi'an is already a capital crime, as long as he catches him, he can also avenge his son and nephew, and how can he confront the county order with a head catcher? Weighing the pros and cons, although Wang Suiyang was 10,000 reluctant, he had to slowly bend down and arch his hand: "Humble ......, thank you for all the brothers." ”
