He Tao looked at it, it was his fellow brother He Qing, this He Qing is very different from his brother, his brother is a public in the government, he is mixed in the city and the countryside, because he often does some things to steal chickens and dogs, he is not loved by his brother, but in order to get some money, He Qing still visits from time to time.

He Tao heard He Qing say that there was a clue to the lost Kutian Gang, and hurriedly said to him, "My good brother, are you serious?" This matter is already a big basket, your brother and I have tattoos on my face, if you really know, you must sue me! As he spoke, he took out the ingot of silver from his arms and handed it to He Qing, regardless of how the lady next to him stared.

He Qing saw that He Tao was so anxious, but he calmed down and said, "My good brother, I can't collect this money, otherwise who knows if you will earn me in the future?" ”

He Tao hurriedly said, "How can I earn you in this matter, if you can really solve this big case, you don't know how many hundred yuan will be rewarded at that time, how can I care about this!" Don't worry, no matter how much the official family rewards, you will definitely share half of it? ”

He Qing patted his thigh and said, "This reward will fall into our brother's pocket!" ”

He Tao heard He Qing say this, and knew that there was really a play, so he hurriedly said, "Come on!" ”

He Qing took out the ingot of silver from his arms, handed it to He Tao and said, "Brother, look, what is this?" ”

He Tao took it and saw that there was an official seal under the silver, and immediately said, "This is official silver, where did you get it?" ”

He Qing said with a smile, "Just yesterday, a scholar met me, said that there was a newly opened casino, asked me if I would go, I naturally wanted to go, this time I saw a person, gambling in it, no matter how much he lost, his face did not change, as if it was not his money, I inquired, only to know that this person is a broken household in Yuncheng County, and he lives by selling wine on weekdays, where is how much money there is."

But when he encountered such an injustice, the younger brother was naturally unwilling to let go, so he stepped forward to gamble with him, and sure enough, he won a lot, including this ingot of silver. The only possibility is that he got a large amount of official money, and if you contact what happened recently, you can't understand it better! ”

He Tao clapped his hands and said, "Brother Xian really knows the subtleties, okay, tell my brother who the broken household is?" I'll send someone to arrest it right away! ”

He Qing smiled and said, "Brother, this brother has been me for so many years, and I don't have a place to eat for a long time, you see?" ”

He Tao patted his chest and said, "There is still a gap in the yamen, just make up for you!" ”

He Qing said hehehe, "It's the white day rat Bai Sheng of Anle Village!" ”

He Tao was overjoyed, and immediately took his younger brother to the mansion, and told him about the past one by one, and the prefect was also overjoyed, and immediately asked He Tao to take someone to arrest him, He Tao took He Qing and seven or eight people who were public officials, and arrived at Anle Village late at night, just grabbed Bai Sheng on the bed and beat him up, Bai Sheng only said that he didn't know, and then forced Bai Sheng's wife to ask him, and he didn't know.

He Tao thought about it and asked everyone to search the house, find it under the bed, and see that the ground was uneven; Everyone dug up, less than three feet deep, many public people shouted, Bai Sheng's face was like earth, so he took out a bag of gold and silver from the ground, and then wrapped Bai Sheng's head and face, took his wife, carried the stolen goods, and rushed back to Jeju City overnight. But at dawn on the fifth watch, Bai Sheng was escorted to the front of the hall and tied up the rope. He was tortured again and again, just to ask for the main culprit, but Bai Sheng insisted on not saying it, and even He Tao couldn't help but admire the three points.

At this time, He Qing suddenly said, "Who doesn't know that it's Chao Gai from Dongxi Village, do you think it's okay if you don't say it?" ”

He Tao looked at him in surprise, Bai Sheng's face turned pale and scary, and he didn't insist anymore, he told him how to drug and how to commit the crime, and he heard that Governor Mao was overjoyed and said, "He Tao, you go to Yuncheng County immediately, and you must catch Chao Gai and his gang!" ”

He Tao took the order and left, and the Mao prefect asked He Qing again, "How do you know that it is Chao Gai?" ”

He Qing said with a smile: "When the little one was in the casino, I heard others say that Chao Gai was good with him, so I asked." ”

Only then did Bai Sheng know that He Qing was cheating on him, and he fainted angrily, and Governor Mao was extremely satisfied with He Qing, feeling that He Qing was stronger than He Tao, and was ready to be promoted one day.

Besides, He Tao, running all the way, came to Yuncheng County with twenty public catchers to prepare to submit a book to get people, and when he arrived in Yuncheng County, the sky was already bright, and he was afraid that he would leak the news, so he asked the team to wait outside the city, and he took two people to Yuncheng County.

At the time of the next brand, He Tao went to sit down in a tea shop across the county and ate tea equally. As soon as he sat down, two people walked out of the restaurant next to him, a Taoist priest and a Taoist boy, and quickly left to go out of the city.

- Dongxi Village

Chao Gai was eating and talking in the manor at this time, and several people next to him, a scholar dressed up, a Taoist priest dressed up, and one was covered in red hair like a ghost.

"Chao Baozheng can be at home?" A shout alarmed everyone, and when they looked together, they saw a Taoist boy and a Taoist priest walking in, Chao Gai strangely arched his hand and said, "I don't know who the two are?" ”

Gongsun Sheng was originally a Taoist priest, and when he saw the Taoist priest, he suddenly stood up, only to hear the Taoist boy on the other side say, "Bao is just unrighteous, how long has it been, and you forgot me?" ”

Chao Gai looked at it again, and he really felt familiar, and Wu Yong, who was behind, exclaimed with a surprised face, "Isn't this Xiao Langjun?" How did you become a monk? Oh, isn't this Mr. Xu? ”

Chao Gai was said, only to find that it was Jiang De and Xu Guanzhong who had a side in front of him, and immediately bowed and said, "Engong is above, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he actually forgot the appearance of Engong, it is really a crime that deserves death!" ”

Jiang De hurriedly helped him up and said, "I'm not here this time, not for anything else, but for your misfortune!" Chao Baozheng, you are also bold, the money in Kutian is wanted by the officials, and you dare to move? ”

When Gongsun Sheng heard this, his face changed greatly, and he stepped forward and opened the cover and said, "What did this little official say, how could this thing be done by Baozheng, there is no evidence for this, and blood is not allowed to spew people!" ”

Jiang De shook his head and said, "Gongsun Sheng, you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, my ears and eyes are all over the rivers and lakes, do you really think you do it seamlessly?" Baozheng, let me tell you, Bai Sheng has been arrested by the Jeju government, and at this time, there is already a large group of people coming here, I am looking at Chao Baozheng and I have a relationship, and this matter is a chivalrous thing, so I came to tell you! ”

Wu Yong said to Chao Gai, "Baozheng, what kind of identity Xiaolangjun is, he will never deceive us, I'm afraid it really happened!" It's no wonder that Xiaosheng forgot that Bai Sheng is a good gambler! I guess it's the casino! ”

Chao Gai stomped his feet and said, "What should I do?" ”

Jiang De said, "Why do you need to think about it again, these thirty-six plans, go ahead!" Hurry up and pack up and get out of here! ”

Wu Yong also said, "That's right, we can gather the villagers, as long as they are willing to go, they will take them away, and those who are not willing to go, give some gold and silver to dismiss, I know that there is a good place to go, but I don't know if there is room for me." ”

Liu Tang asked, "What's the best place to go, hurry up!" ”

Wu Yong said, "It's not another place, it's that Liang Shanbo, where the mountains are high and the water is far away, and the official army was defeated last month, and it has been prosperous recently, but I heard that Wang Lun is a small person, and I don't know if I can accommodate a good man like me!" ”

"Wang Lun must not be able to tolerate it!" Xu Guanzhong smiled and said, "You don't know yet, that Wang Lun has no talent and no virtue, and has been killed by my lord highway, and Liangshan at this time is all in the hands of my lord, you want to go, it's just right!" ”

Chao Gai looked at Jiang De, and Jiang De said to Chao Gai, "Bao is not disgusted, the gate of Liangshan will always be open!" ”

Chao Gai was overjoyed, and immediately ordered to go down to clean up the softness, just as he was talking, a horse hoof disease, a black man hurriedly rushed in, several Zhuang guests couldn't stop it, Chao Gai looked at it, and asked in surprise, "How did the priest come in a hurry?" Song Jiang said: "It's not good to keep the integrity right, your affairs have already been released, Bai Sheng has been imprisoned, so let's leave quickly." ”

As soon as Song Jiang said, the others no longer doubted, and Chao Gai thanked Song Jiang and said, "Thank you for telling me." ”

Song Jiang was not surprised at all when he saw Chao Gai and the others, and asked, "Could it be that someone came earlier than me to inform Baozheng?" ”

Chao Gai nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "These two are Jiang Xiaolangjun and Mr. Xu, and it is they who braved the sea of blood and seemed to have something to do with each other to report to us." ”

Song Jiang sighed, looked at the two, immediately recognized Jiang De, and asked in surprise, "Xiao Langjun?" How are you here? ”

Jiang De said hehehe, "Song Zhisi, I have a relationship with Chao Baozheng, and after learning about this, I hurriedly came to report, so I am afraid He Tao is still waiting for you, you better go back quickly." ”

Song Jiang didn't expect Jiang De to know so clearly, he did come on a fast horse after stabilizing He Tao, and seeing that Chao Gai and the others knew about it, they were no longer verbose, so they hurried to the county seat.

When Song Jiang left, Chao Gai immediately gathered everyone, distributed the gold and silver, put the treasure on a dozen carts, and prepared to leave.

At night, it was already dark, Chao Gai still hadn't left, Jiang De looked at Chao Gai so rubbing, he couldn't help shaking his head and was speechless, Wu Yong said to Jiang De, "Baozheng is a farmer's child after all, and he can't give up a lot of things." ”

Jiang De sighed, smiled again, and said, "It's such a person that I can put my mind at ease." ”

When I waited for the first watch, I suddenly heard a commotion, and there was a faint cry of "Don't run away Chao Gai", Chao Gai immediately said, "It's not good, without further ado, let's go!" ”

At this time, Chao Gai led the men and horses to leave through the back door, and let the Zhuang Ke who was unwilling to go set fire everywhere, and after a few steps, a bearded officer and soldier came out and shouted, "Bao Zhengxiu go!" Zhu Tong has been waiting for you here for a long time. ”

Chao Gai didn't talk to him, and Gongsun Sheng and others rushed forward, but they rushed out without encountering a few people, and then they knew that Zhu Tong was letting himself go.

After a night's trouble, the sky gradually brightened, Dongxi Village gathered all over the country, and still did not catch Chao Gai, Shi Wenbin and He Tao and others who rushed to hear it, they trembled with anger, and Shi Zhixian said, "This Chao Gai is a place to protect integrity, I am afraid that the neighbors will have fornication with him, all of them will be arrested and tortured!" There are so many treasures, they will not be able to take them away when they are in a panic, so be sure to find them! ”

He Tao said to Shi Wenbin again, "My lord, that Chao Gai can't escape far, and I hope that my lord can send more soldiers and horses to chase him." ”

Shi Wenbin nodded and said, "This is reasonable, but there are few people in my county, and at most I can mobilize two hundred people for you, but no matter how much, I can't." ”

He Tao thought that this Chao Gai was already at the end of the road, and two hundred people were enough, so he agreed, and then looked at Dongxi Village, everyone was beaten, every family was broken into, and the officers and soldiers who were like wolves and tigers searched everywhere, and naturally had to fill some of their own pockets in the search, let alone tease the peasant girl who was tied up, Zhu Tong couldn't stand it, and ran to Shi Wenbin and said, "Lord County, I think it's better to let the brothers restrain themselves, otherwise it will not be good for the adult's official reputation if it is spread out!" ”

He Tao said beside him, "What? Zhu Dutou feels sorry for the people of Dongxi Village? These people are very close to Chao Gai, you are so distressed, what is the secret? ”

Zhu Tong glared at him angrily, stepped aside and said, "You, an outsider, naturally don't feel sorry for the people of Yuncheng!" ”

He Tao was angry and was about to chase after him, but Shi Wenbin stopped him and said, "He observes and calms his anger, this Zhu Tong is just a righteous anger, and it is still important to get down to business." ”

As he was talking, a servant shouted that he had found something, stepped forward with a few gold and silver and said, "Lord County, look, this is official silver, which was thrown from the corner of a house!" ”

Shi Wenbin was overjoyed and said, "Okay! Pull them all back and torture them, and you will get something! ”

After waiting for more than half an hour, He Tao also gathered more than 200 soldiers and horses here and rushed towards Liangshanbo.

Besides, Chao Gai and his gang followed Jiang De to the hotel at the entrance of Lijia Daokou, Zhu Gui was already waiting there, and came out to greet him, "Liangshan Zhu Gui has seen Xiao Langjun, Xiao Langjun, the meals are all ready, please finish eating and go on the road." ”

Ruan Xiaoer, who was standing next to him, also said to Jiang De, "Lord, the boat is ready to stop and can be on the road at any time!" ”

Xu Guanzhong said to Chao Gai and the others: "My lord expected that Baozheng would definitely vote for me Liangshan, so he sent someone to prepare early. ”

Chao Gai and the others saw that Jiang De had already prepared, and secretly admired, only to hear Jiang De say, "Okay, Baozheng, you immediately let Zhuang Ke carry the gold and silver on the boat, and eat something, we will go up the mountain immediately!" ”

Chao Gai and the others stayed all night, and they were indeed a little hungry, so they went into the sea to eat and drink, and when they came out again, everything had already arrived on the boat.

A fast horse flew in, and one dismounted to report "Newspaper! More than 200 officers and soldiers are coming from the main road! ”

Jiang De smiled and said, "It's just right, Baozheng, let's go up the mountain first, naturally someone will serve them." ”

Chao Gai said, "This matter was recruited by us for the cottage, how can we not care, and ask Xiao Langjun to issue an order, we will definitely obey the order." ”

Xu Guanzhong said, "Bao Zheng can't be, as the saying goes, if the words are not right, the name is not good, Bao Zheng is just temporarily avoiding the cottage, how to let Bao Zheng go into battle to fight?" ”

Wu Yong immediately said, "What did Mr. Xu say, I came here to take refuge sincerely, why do you want to avoid it for the time being?" In the future, we will be people in the cottage, so we should naturally go into battle to fight, and it can be regarded as a first achievement! ”

Saying that, Wu Yong took the lead in saying to Jiang De, "Xiaosheng Wu Yong, I have seen the lord!" ”

Chao Gai and the others looked at each other, and they could only bow down and say, "I've seen the lord!" ”

Jiang De hurriedly helped him up and said, "In the future, they will all be brothers in the village, there is no need for this, since Baozheng worships this, I will give you an order!" ”
