In the middle of the night, the vast water is like a flat black curtain, with the faint starlight, a small boat moves forward in the undulating water waves.

"Xiao Er dares to sail late at night, he must be very familiar with the water." The man asked, leaning against the bow of the boat.

"Three generations of my family have been begging for a living in this water, and the guest officer said that he was not familiar with it."

"Quedi, Liangshan in this water pool, Xiao Er is also clear, right?"

"That's nature, and I often go up to the mountains to find some herbs and game. If you are familiar, this radius of forty or fifty miles, I recognize the second, I am afraid that no one dares to say the first. ”

"That being the case, in recent days, there has been any movement in this Liangshan." The man sat up straight, his eyes lit up in the night.

"Yes, I heard that the rich man of the bird is building a manor on it, and a few days ago, many people came. It's just that we are miserable and wait for fishermen, and we can no longer get close to the surface of the water, and the harvest is lost. ”

"This man is so domineering."

"Who's to say it's not."

……

In this gossip of having a match and not a match, Liang Shan is like the ancient giant beast gradually revealing its magnificent face in the night.

"The guest officer has arrived." About three or five hundred meters from the shore, the fishing boat stopped.

"It's here! Haven't you docked yet? The man seemed to have just recovered from Liangshan's shock.

"The young man has already been a guest officer, and since outsiders came, no one was allowed to approach."

"I'll give you another five taels of silver, and I'll send them to the shore."

"Even if you have five taels of gold with me, you won't go, and if you have silver, you have to have a life flower." The little two didn't let go.

Looking at Liangshan Mountain, which was close at hand, the man was unwilling, but he didn't know the nature of water. Angry for a moment, he immediately took out a bull's ear knife from his baggage, jumped to the stern of the boat on tiptoe, and threatened: "Don't toast and don't eat and drink." ”

"The guest officer is reckless." The little two snorted while rocking the wooden boat, and when the man approached, he plunged into it in the middle of the night, completely ignoring the cold water in the night.

The man stayed alone in the small boat that was spinning, and he was in a hurry and didn't know what to do, and he secretly complained in his heart. When he was at a loss, he saw the boat tilt suddenly, and he fell over unsteadily, but when he saw that a hand reached out from under the water to grab his collar, and only heard a "go down", and the man fell into the piercing lake with a "bang" like a scale.

After a while, the boatman named Xiao Er turned over and got on the boat, pulled the dead man onto the boat, and casually picked up the oars and landed on the golden sand beach for a few moments.

"Little second brother, you are very good." At that time, someone on the shore had already followed, but it was Ruan Xiaowu, and this Xiaoer turned out to be Ruan Xiaoer.

"A landlubber, in trouble. Hurry up and take care of people, petty officials want living people. ”

"It's already been arranged, you change your clothes, and the little officials are still listening to the letter on the mountain." Ruan Xiaowu took the man who handed him to the side, and handed over a pot of hot wine.

Gu Haotian and several people also arrived at Liangshan at ten o'clock in the night, and this strategy was agreed with Zhu Fu at the Li family crossing. After he and his party went out, if the man followed him, Zhu Fu took the opportunity to send someone up the mountain to report the news. chose Ruan Xiaoer because he looked a little more honest than Xiao Wu and would not scare people. Originally, it was okay to lead that man to the mountain, but Gu Haotian was worried that if he accidentally let him slip away, it would not be an ordinary trouble to find someone in the reckless forest of Liangshan at that time.

At midnight, two brothers, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu, walked in side by side.

"The second brother has succeeded." Ruan Xiaoqi asked first.

"It's already secure." Ruan Xiaoer replied.

Gu Haotian said hard work, and asked the two of them to sit down. When he heard Ruan Xiaoer's report that the man had deceived him with a knife, he even thought that the man had followed and hid all the way, and a figure gradually came to his mind. It's just that it was late at night, thinking about it and talking about it tomorrow, so a few people hastily filled their stomachs and rested.

But said that the man woke up in the early hours of the morning, and found that he was tied to a bed and couldn't move, and couldn't help but cry out "bitter" in his heart. Thinking back to yesterday in that hotel, I was already suspicious, but then I still got into the way, but there is no regret medicine to buy in the world, so I have to resign myself to fate.

It's easy to stay until dawn, but although there is a sound outside the door, no one cares. After about an hour, I heard the sound of the door opening, and a few people came in outside, led by Xiao Er, who was holding the boat yesterday.

"Did the guest officer rest well last night?" The little two laughed.

"You and I have no enmity, why did you design it for me."

"The guest officer is not authentic, didn't you say that you wanted to see this Liangshan, and now I will take you there." The little two called the two of them to set up the man and went out.

When you go out, you can see that the sun is hanging high, in front of you is a piece of golden sand, after a while, you will enter a mountain passage, the mountains on both sides are steep, the forest is deep and dangerous, and go up for about half an hour, only to see a male pass when the road, pass through, it is a large flat land, walk all the way, but see the house is neat, pedestrian rules. The man was secretly surprised, thinking that it was a paradise.

After walking for a while, he came to the front of a series of houses, and saw a stout man waiting at the door, but he had seen it yesterday.

"The little second brother came just in time, and the little official is waiting inside."

"It's annoying that Brother Bian Xiang will lead the way."

The two said hello and walked inside together. The man followed him into the lobby, but saw two people sitting on it, the young one was the handsome little official whom he called his cousin yesterday, and the other was a scholar in his thirties and forties.

"How can you be so slow when you come to the door." When the little official saw that the man had his hands tied, he hurriedly got up and came over to relieve him with his own hands, and asked him to sit down.

The man originally thought that he would inevitably suffer from the pain of his flesh and skin, but he didn't want to be treated like this, and immediately remembered the rumors he had heard all the way, and couldn't help but look at the petty official in front of him twice.

"A good man has been inquiring about the news of Liangshan for several days, and now he is on this Liangshan, so he might as well say it directly." Just as the little official opened his mouth to ask.

"I don't know if the little official is the ancient family Zhuang jade face Meng tasted the ancient little official?" The man didn't answer the question.

"It's Gu Haotian of Gujiazhuang below, but I don't know who the jade-faced Meng Wei is."

"The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he collided with the petty official, I hope to forgive me." When the man heard this, he got up and bowed his head.

Shi Qian is exactly the person he thinks in his heart, Gu Haotian didn't break it, and was busy stepping forward to help him up

"It turned out to be the Shiqian brothers, but it was just a misunderstanding, where did he collide, but where did the jade-faced Meng Wei start."

Let's say that since the relief of the displaced people a few years ago, the name of the petty officials in Gujiazhuang has spread more and more widely, and those who have good deeds in the rivers and lakes have given them the nickname of jade-faced Meng Wei, which is just like their people, and it has spread for a while. And Gu Haotian has been staying in Liangshan since the New Year, and he doesn't know about it, but he often heard about it all the way, remembered it in his heart, and explained it on the spot.

"There is such a thing." Gu Haotian thought that he was just twelve years old, and he had a nickname in the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Zihao is handsome and extraordinary, worthy of the word jade face, chivalrous and kind, but like that Meng, this nickname is not bad." Wen Huanzhang quipped on the side.

Everyone in the hall also applauded in unison.

"Everybody's smiling." Gu Haotian was also helpless. Turning his head to look at the time of Qian, he wanted to understand the reason for his uphill, but saw that he was a little sluggish, and remembered that he had suffered a lot last night, and he had not yet entered the water, and when he saw that it was almost noon, he ordered the banquet to be set up to meet with the Shi Qian brothers.

Although Shi Qian thinks he is a thief, he is just a thief in the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes, when has he ever been treated so seriously, not to mention the famous jade-faced Meng Weigu petty official. I was very grateful, and I opened my mouth several times at the banquet to tell me about this trip, but I was stopped by the petty officials, and only said that I was happy today and just drank, no matter what else. And Shi Qian is also a reckless person in his bones, so he simply put aside his worries and drank freely with everyone, and after a drink, he only drank drunk.

I don't know when, Shi Qianfang woke up, only to see a lamp in front of the bed like a bean, and the night outside the window was like ink. He lay in bed with a splitting headache, but his heart was very happy. I can't help but think that if I can be brothers with characters like petty officials, I will not be in vain. Looking back on the experience of the past month, although it was said that he had accepted the man's deal, he didn't want to meet this rumored petty official all the way. Exploring Gujiazhuang at night, Li Jiadao tracking down that fake cousin, and insisting on going to Liangshan, in fact, subconsciously all to get close to this ancient petty official. He is also a cautious person, Liangshan is surrounded by water on all sides, and it is easy to go down and difficult, and his insistence on going up the mountain to gamble is also the character of the ancient petty officials, so he has the excitement of bowing when he sees him in person.

I had to report that incident to the petty officials as soon as possible, and Shi Qian thought about it, and couldn't sleep anymore.

Finally waited for the dawn of the day, and Shi Qian got up and pushed the door out. But seeing that there were hundreds of people running neatly in the main square, he was both novel and shocked, and he watched blankly from the side.

"Brother Shiqian, why did you get up so early."

When he came back to his senses, he saw a person suddenly stop in front of him, but he looked at it as an ancient petty official.

"Why are the little officials running here?"

"Isn't this a training exercise? How, how about running two laps together? Saying that, Gu Haotian didn't wait for the time to move back, made a gesture and ran out. Shi Qian is a light worker, and he is naturally not afraid of running, so he will follow with his legs. But after two or three laps, I saw that the little official was not tired, and he was a little short of breath.

"I went up the mountain this time, but I had some connections on my body, and I had to tell the junior officials as soon as possible, so that I could make a decision as soon as possible." He chased a few steps and ran side by side with Gu Haotian and spoke.

"Very good, just wait after breakfast, call Mr. Shangwen, and let's talk about it together." Gu Haotian responded while running.

Shi Qian listened as if he had put down a stone in his heart, and his footsteps suddenly became a little lighter, so he had no distractions, and followed the ancient little official wholeheartedly into the mighty team.
