Chapter 27: Meeting Friends with Wine
"Oh! It turned out to be Lord Liu, but I, Zhao, heard that Lord Liu hated the atrocities of the Khitans, and was a good official who protected the people of my Central Plains, hum! Now it seems that he is also a hypocrite who has lost his name, but he is just a raccoon dog with a servile face! ”
Seeing this, Zhang Tongzhi drank: "Shut up, you thing that doesn't know life and death, dare to say such disrespectful words in front of Lord Liu!" This government originally thought that you were still young, and this government would not care if you collided with this government, but now you dare to offend Lord Liu, I think you are tired of life, and you will be beheaded together! ”
When Yu Qing heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and begged: "Ladies and gentlemen, my little brother is careless, childish words, I killed the person alone, the people present can testify, kill to pay for life, one person does things and one person is responsible, you execute me according to the law, I have no complaints, you have a lot, but please let me go, little brother!" He began to kowtow.
Zhao Kuangyan said: "Brother Yu, this kind of dog official is not worth asking for, killing people is not enough, why are you afraid of death?" ”
Liu Zhiyuan, Guo Wei, Wang Jun and others secretly admired Yu Qing's righteousness and Zhao Kuangyan's courage. But Liu Zhiyuan was so counted by this kid who didn't know the height of the sky in front of everyone, his face naturally couldn't hold it, and he shook his hand with a sullen face and said, "Hmph! I don't know how thick the sky is! Let's go! ”
When the group left the prison, Liu Zhiyuan said to Zhang Tongzhi: "These two people are bold and reckless, they are repeat offenders in the imperial court, let my people take care of them personally, in order to avoid long dreams at night, I think it is most appropriate to be beheaded at noon tomorrow, I don't know what Lord Zhang wants?" ”
Zhang Tongzhi didn't dare to say half a word, and he had solved these two hot potatoes earlier, he couldn't ask for it, and said: "Everything is arranged by adults!" ”
When Zhao Kuangyan heard this, he was so angry that he scolded: "Dog official, it's not a good thing!" ”
It was night, in the dead of night, the moon was dark and the wind was high. Liu Zhiyuan's entourage and guards really removed the jailers, and after everything was arranged, I saw two guards dragging two death row prisoners into Yu Qing and Zhao Kuanyan's cells, and then Yu Qing and the two were escorted out of death row.
Zhao Kuangyan asked in surprise: "What are you going to do?" ”
The two guards did not answer his question, but simply said, "Hurry up!" ”
Zhao Kuangyan usually seems to be able to put life and death out of the way, but at this time, it is inevitable that his legs will be weak, and he almost shouted in a crying voice: "Didn't you say that death row prisoners have a good meal before they are beheaded?" Why don't we? , you won't die well! ”
Yu Qing was also anxious, and begged: "Two big brothers, oh no! Two masters, two ancestors, please let go of my brother, he is careless, you have a lot of adults, just kill me, please. ”
One of the guards whispered and said, "Shut up and go!" Then he shoved the two forward. When I arrived at the Heavenly Prison History Room, there were three people inside, one of whom was Guo Wei, only to hear Guo Wei say: "Hurry up and change your clothes!" "Throw them two sets of guard costumes.
Yu Qing and Zhao Kuangyan were stunned for a moment, and the second monk was confused and hesitated. Guo Wei said in a low voice: "What are you still doing in a daze, change it quickly, I'll take you out." ”
Yu Qing reacted at this time, and hurriedly changed into the guard's clothes, although Zhao Kuangyan didn't understand it very well, seeing that Yu Qing had changed into it, he also changed into the guard's clothes.
Guo Wei whispered: "Follow me!" Yu Qing and the others followed Guo Wei out of the prison, a carriage had already been prepared in front of the prison gate, Guo Wei signaled to get on the car, and the three of them got into the car one after another and drove towards the hotel.
Yu Qing asked, "This general, where are we going?" ”
Guo Wei said: "Don't ask so much, you will know when you arrive, this is Zhang Tongzhi's territory, there are many eyeliners, don't be discovered by them." ”
When he came to the line management, Guo Wei knocked on the door three times, and a guard opened the door and asked, "It's all done?" The adults have been waiting in the back room for a long time. After speaking, he took Guo Wei and Yu Qing into the back room.
Liu Zhiyuan sat in front of the case, saw the three people coming in, got up to greet them, and said happily: "The two little brothers have suffered!" As he spoke, he came to shake hands.
Yu Qing knew that it was Liu Zhiyuan who saved the two of them, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and bowed down: "Lord Liu's life-saving grace, Yu Qing is unforgettable, but Yu Qing doesn't understand, why should we save us when we meet in Pingshui?" ”
Liu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Why do you have to know each other when you meet? ”
Guo Wei said on the side: "Corporal Liu, Corporal Liu, thirsty for talent, when the Lord learned that the two killed the arrogant Khitan Yelu Guluguo, and knew that the two must be strong warriors in martial arts, so they made a special trip from Taiyuan to Xinzhou to rescue, don't hurry up Thank you Lord Liu!" ”
Zhao Kuangyan knew that he had wrongly blamed the good person, so he lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Liu, I didn't know that you were here to save my door, there are many collisions in words, Kuangyan has apologized to you!" After speaking, he took a deep look.
Liu Zhiyuan laughed and said: "Little Brother Zhao's mouth is really powerful!" ”
Yu Qing asked: "Lord Liu, you let us go like this, what should we do with the prefect?" ”
Guo Wei answered: "You don't have to worry about this, Lord Liu has his own arrangements!" ”
After that, Yu Qing thanked Liu Zhiyuan again, and Guo Wei arranged for them to rest in the wing.
In the early morning of the next day, Guo Wei came to the wing room and said: "Yu Shaoxia, in order not to make people suspicious, we will call you Xiaoma in the future, call Zhao brother Xiao Zhang, and go to the prison with Lord Liu to behead the death row prisoners Yu Qing and Zhao Kuangyan this afternoon." ”
The three of them smiled.
At noon, Guo Weilai asked Yu Zhao and the others to leave the hotel with Liu Zhiyuan and others. Zhang Tongzhi was already waiting outside the hotel, and when he saw Liu Zhiyuan, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Zhang Tongzhi, the prefect of Xinzhou, Xiaguan, pays a visit to the envoy of Jiedu, please get on the sedan chair!" ”
Liu Zhiyuan raised his hand and said, "Lord Zhang, please!" ”
Liu Zhiyuan got into the sedan chair and followed Zhang Tongzhi and others to the entrance of the school, where Yu Qing and Zhao Kuangyan were mixed in Liu Zhiyuan's guard team.
When I came to the entrance of the competition, I saw two death row prisoners kneeling on the school field, and two guards carrying big knives stood behind them, they were Liu Zhiyuan's people. The crowd of onlookers surrounded the entrance of the arena, pointing fingers one by one, and from time to time they could hear "Hero! "Hero!" "It's a pity" and other discussions, and I can faintly hear crying.
After Liu Zhiyuan sat down on the prison platform, Zhang Tongzhi stood up and shouted: "Be quiet!" Be quiet! ”
The crowd quieted down a little, and Zhang Tongzhi read out the document loudly: "People committed Yu Qing, Zhao Kuangyan was lawless, killed my friend of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Khitan Yelu Guluguo, according to the law of the Great Jin Dynasty, when the beheading is decided, the festival makes Lord Liu come to the scene to supervise the beheading, it is now noon, please show Lord Liu!" ”
The audience suddenly scolded, and Zhang Tongzhi saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly sat down. At this time, two voices and shadows, one old and one young, appeared in the audience, and the young man cried: "Sister! Brother Yu! And desperately squeezed into the school field, but was stopped by several officials and guards, they were none other than the coachman and the old man and the fragrant boy.
This situation was seen by Yu Qing and Zhao Kuangyan, Zhao Kuangyan quietly walked over and grabbed Xiang Child, put his face on it and said, "Boy, don't scream here!" ”
Xiang Boy looked at it, recognized Zhao Kuangyan, pointed at Zhao Kuangyan and said in surprise: "Sister......"
Zhao Kuangyan made a boo gesture, and Xiang Boy immediately understood, but he deliberately cried loudly again.
I saw Liu Zhiyuan take out an arrow from the pen holder and said, "Chop!" The two guards raised their swords and fell, two streams of blood flew out, and two heads fell to the ground.
After that, the official opened the way, Liu Zhiyuan got into the sedan chair, and led the group out of the school. Xiang Boy pulled a coachman and quietly followed behind the officers and soldiers.
When he came to the mansion, Liu Zhiyuan got off the sedan chair and said to Zhang Tongzhi: "Lord Zhang, the prisoner who killed the Khitans has been executed, and the official will go back, and he will give the emperor a reply and say goodbye!" ”
Zhang Tongzhi pretended to stay, but naturally he couldn't keep it, the guards brought the horses, everyone got on the horses, the hooves clicked, and galloped away in the direction of Taiyuan.
Xiang Boy and the coachman got into the carriage and followed far behind.
Liu Zhiyuan and his entourage traveled for half an hour, and they had already left Xinzhou City far behind. Zhao Kuangyan knew that Xiang Boy and the two would definitely follow, so he told Yu Qing about seeing Xiang Boy at the entrance of the school.
Yu Qing said to Liu Zhiyuan: "Lord Liu, I still have two friends behind, and we have to stay and wait for those two friends." ”
Liu Zhiyuan said: "This place is not too far from Xinzhou Mansion, if that Zhang Tongzhi finds out the clues and sends someone to chase after him, I am afraid that something will not be good, why don't we go another way, go to the post station in front to wait, that post is our people, and it will be easy to deal with anything at that time." ”
Yu Qing thought that this was fine, so he continued to hurry with Liu Zhiyuan and the others. In the evening, they finally came to the post station, and the group rested under the arrangement of the post and had dinner.
At about the hour, a beam of lights on the post road from far and near, and finally heard the sound of carriages and horses, getting closer and closer, Yu Qing fixed his eyes to see that it was the old man who drove the car, he ran forward excitedly, and Zhao Kuangyan followed. Xiang Boy jumped out of the car, threw herself into Zhao Kuangyan's arms excitedly, cried, and said, "Sister, I thought I would never see you again!" ”
When Yu Qing heard this, he was stunned and asked, "What?" Sister? ”
