In addition, after the three capitals of Jeju Prefecture arrested the envoy He Tao, led 300 quick-sighted messengers, and met the bearded prince Zhu Tong and the winged tiger Lei Heng and the soldiers in Yuncheng County, a total of 500 men and horses rushed to Chaojiazhuang in Dongxi Village.

Zhu Tong and Lei Heng had already received the news from Song Jiang, and knew that Chao Gai was not in the village, so they were relieved to rush to the front.

When I arrived at Chaojiazhuang, I saw that the building was empty, and I just caught a few neighbors nearby.

"Could it be that the one who leaked the news? Otherwise, in a hurry, it is impossible to transfer all the gold and silver? Unless Chao Gai has already planned a way out, if this is the case, then this person is too terrible! ”

He Tao was shocked in his heart, but the sword of Shamen Island hanging above his head still made him torture. However, these people did not know anything, only said bits and pieces.

is a good He Tao, worthy of eating a public meal. Just half an hour later, he synthesized all the clues and concluded that Chao Gai and the others had hidden in Shijie Village. Because it is not far from Shuibo Liangshan, you can go to Liangshan and fall into the grass when things are urgent.

"We must catch them all before they go to Liangshan!" He Tao gritted his teeth, and while sending people back to Jeju Mansion to ask Huang An for help, he urged Zhu Tong and Lei Heng to lead the men and horses to follow him to Shijie Village to arrest the thieves.

Zhu Tong and Lei Heng couldn't work at this time, and pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Observe Xianggong, I heard that Shijie Village is surrounded by water on three sides, and our two brothers are landlubbers, they are really not good at water warfare, I hope you forgive me!" ”

"What's not good at water warfare? It's obviously afraid of thieves! He Tao was indignant in his heart, but at this time, it was the time to employ people, and it was inconvenient to be angry, so he had to let Zhu Tong and Lei Heng block the dry road.

Chao Gai and his people had just arrived at Shijie Village to rest and reorganize the team, only to see a few fishermen coming to report: "Officials, soldiers and horses are rushing to the village!" ”

Wang Lun got up and shouted, "This guy is coming, and kill him for a while!" At this time, it was not far from Liangshan, and the Ruan brothers brought the Liangshan Water Army to come, and Wang Lun was even more courageous.

Wu Yongben waited to greet Sanruan for a while, but he was not idle.

Ruan Xiaoer, the leader of the water army, also said: "I'll deal with him myself!" Tell most of that guy to go into the water and die, and half of them kill him! ”

Chao Gai and the others hurried hard, and they were not polite, and said to Wang Lun and other Liangshan heroes: "Chao Gai depends on your brothers!" ”

Wu Yong and Liu Tang each held one and asked seven or eight companions to rock the boat and go to a safe place to wait first; Wang Lun also paid Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi to support the boat and meet the enemy in this way.

Chao Gai saw that Wang Lun had made proper arrangements, and he was relieved that he had accepted Wang Lun's favor again, and he didn't know when he would be able to return it!

Let's say that He Tao and the thief patrol Jian led the officers and soldiers to gradually approach Shijie Village, but when he saw that there were boats in the river port, they took them all; Then he sent the officers and men who knew how to go out of the boat; On the shore, riding horses Zhu Tong and Lei Heng commanded. Boats and horses greet each other, and land and water go hand in hand.

He Tao discussed with the inspector: "There are many harbors in this lake, and the paths are very complicated; Or the water swings in the pond, I don't know the depth; If we go to catch them, we are afraid that we will fall for the tricks of this thief: we will teach all the horses to be guarded in this village, and they will all get out of the boat. ”

At that time, the thieves were arrested and inspected, and the people who were working together got off the boat. At that time, there were not only 100 boats caught, but also some supported and some swayed, and they all looked forward to Ruan Xiaowu and the fishing village.

Walking less than five or six miles on the water, I could only hear someone singing in the middle of the reeds. When everyone stayed in the boat and listened, the song said: Fishing is a world of tweeds, and there are no seedlings or hemp. The cool officials and stolen officials have all been killed, and they will faithfully repay the Zhao official family!

He observed and the people listened, and they were all surprised. I saw a person in the distance, singing about the future. A recognized one pointed out: "This is Ruan Xiaowu, who is now a thief in Liangshan!" ”

He Tao made a move, and everyone moved forward, each holding a weapon, and standing up to meet the general.

I saw Ruan Xiaowu laughing and scolding: "You thief who abuses the people! So bold! Dare to lead the master to do something! But it's not a tiger's whisker! ”

He Tao has a bow and arrow behind him, put on the arrow, pull the bow full, and release the arrow together.

Ruan Xiaowu released arrows, took a birch, turned a somersault and drilled into the water, and everyone dared to come to him and take a blank slate.

I couldn't hold two harbors, and I could only hear the whistling in the reeds. And they set the boat away, and saw two men in front of them coming with a boat.

There was a man standing on the bow of the boat, wearing a green hat on his head, wearing a green robe, with a pen and gun in his hand, and he also sang: The old man grew up in Shijie Village, and he was born to kill. First behead He Tao to inspect the head, and the Jingshi is dedicated to Zhao Wangjun!

He observed and the people listened, and they were amazed.

Someone recognized it and said: "This is Ruan Xiaoqi, the most daring!" ”

He Tao saw that the opponent was rampant, and shouted: "Everyone and move forward, take this thief first, and leave the sect!" ”

Ruan Xiaoqi heard it and said with a smile: "Splash thief!" So he took the gun and turned around, and looked into the little harbor and walked away.

The people gave up their lives and shouted, and they were about to go. This Ruan Xiaoqi and the flying man who rocked the boat also shook the oar, whistled in his mouth, and walked in the small harbor.

All the officers and men hurried to and fro, and saw that the harbor was narrow.

He Tao said: "Stay!" And they anchored their boats, and they were all by the shore. ”

When I went ashore to look, I saw a vast expanse full of reeds, and there were no dry roads in sight. He Tao was puzzled in his heart, but he couldn't discuss it, so he asked the person who lived in the village.

The man replied, "Even though the little people live here, they don't know that there are many places to go here. ”

He Tao taught two small boats, and each took three men to explore the way. I went for more than two hours, but I didn't see a return.

He Tao said: "This guy is fine!" ”

Five more men were sent to explore the way, and two more boats were rowed. These men rowed two boats and went for more than an hour, but there was no return.

He Tao said: "These people who have been accustomed to doing public work for a long time don't know anything!" How do you return without a boat? I don't want to bring these officers and soldiers, and everyone doesn't know how to turn it upside down! ”

It was too late to see the sky, and He Tao thought: "If you don't have a margin here, how can you be helpless?" I'll have to go for myself. ”

Pick a fast boat, choose a few old men to be the male, each took the equipment, pulp up five or six birch trees, He Tao sat on the bow of the boat, looking at the reed harbor to swing.

When they had traveled about five or six miles on the water, they saw a boat coming from the side, and a man carrying a hoe. I saw that the man lifted the hoe, and with his hand he made these two males, one hoe at a time, and threw them into the water with somersaults.

He Tao was taken aback; When he jumped up quickly, he was about to run ashore, only to see that the boat was about to drive away, and a person came up from under the water, pulled He Tao's legs, and knocked him into the water.

The ones in these boats were about to leave, and the hoe-carrying general came to the boat, and one hoe at a time, the head of the row was beaten, and the brains were also beaten.

He Tao was dragged ashore by the man under the water, so he untied his arms and tied them.

Look at the person under the water, but it is Ruan Xiaoqi; The man who carried the hoe on the shore was Ruan Xiaoer.

The two brothers looked at He Tao and scolded: "The three brothers have always loved to kill people and set fires!" Measure how straight you are! How bold and so bold you are to lead the officers and soldiers to arrest us! ”

He Tao said: "Hero! The villain was ordered to be sent, and he couldn't help it. How dare the villain dare to come and catch the hero! I hope that the good man is pitiful and sees that there is an eighty-year-old lady at home, who has no one to support, and I hope to beg for my life! ”

Brother Ruan said: "Let's tie him up and make a "zongzi" and leave him in the cabin!" ”

Moreover, he said that the officers and soldiers led by the thief patrol were all in the boat, and said: "He observed that he was not a public servant, and he went to explore the way, and he went for a long time and did not come back!" ”

At that time, it was around the first watch, the sky was full of stars, and everyone was resting on the boat.

There was only a small clipper on the water, with a rocking boat on the stern, and a scholar standing on the bow of the boat, holding a spear in his hand, and shouting: "Hugh Jiao has gone one!" ”

There are countless boats behind him, and the shouts of killing are deafening, and I don't know how many people come!

Wang Lun led Shi Jin, Zhu Gui and others to kill this group of officers and soldiers in the reeds. There was only one left, and it was like bundling rice dumplings and throwing them in the cabin.

Zhu Tong and Lei Heng on the shore heard the shouting and knew that it was the people of Liangshan who came down. Although there is a personal vendetta, he does not move, but the road is unknown at night, and he is afraid of being ambushed. When the shouting and killing stopped, he responded to the defeated and surviving officers and soldiers and returned to Yuncheng.

Ruan Xiaoer brought He Tao ashore and asked Wang Lun what to do.

Wang Lun pointed at He Tao and scolded: "You are a stupid worm who deceives the people in Jeju!" I was going to break your body into pieces, but I wanted you to go back and say to the thief in charge of the Jeju Prefecture: "I am not easy to provoke this Yangsanbo!" I will not come to your city to borrow food, nor will he come to my water to die. If you look at it with your eyes, you are a small state Yin, and don't say that Taishi Cai sent someone to take us, even when Cai Jing came in person, I also arrested him as a prisoner! ”

Saying that, Wang Lun instructed Ruan Xiaoqi: "Xiaoqi send him out of the intersection!" He passed it on to the bird official, don't provoke us to rise! ”

At that time, Ruan Xiaoqi carried He Tao on a small clipper, sent him straight to the intersection and shouted: "Go all the way here, there will be a way to find it!" Everyone else has been killed, so did they just let you go? Eat your state Yin thief donkey laughs too! And please put down your two ears to be proof! ”

Ruan Xiaoqi pulled out a sharp knife beside him and cut off He Guan's two ears, which were bright red; He inserted a knife, untied his arm, and let him go ashore.

He Tao took his life, and he was busy looking for his way back to Jeju, not daring to look at Liangshan again.
