"Marksman?" But as soon as Pang Wanchun heard the three words marksman, his eyes immediately lit up excitedly, and he said loudly: "Xiao Li Guang? Brother, is this Hua Zhizhai really very powerful in archery? How else to get the nickname of Xiao Li Guang? ”

Lin Chong smiled and nodded, and he also wanted to know which of the two great marksmen of the Water Margin was stronger, but he was afraid that this Pang Wanchun would be too proud, and there was a battle of will, and when he was about to say something, he heard the horse in front of him report quickly: "Military master, I found a group of robbers in front, about 20 people, who were holding knives and guns to stop a passing prisoner from fighting, do you want to help?" ”

"Help, of course you have to help, Wang Feiyu, you take a team."

Lin Chong said with a smile, and after Wang Feiyu took the people away, he said to Luan Tingyu: "Brother Luan, do you know which cottage is ahead?" ”

Luan Tingyu looked around and said, "There should be Erlong Mountain ahead, and there is a temple on this mountain, called Baozhu Temple." That mountain was born to wrap around this temple, and there is only one way to go. When I passed by the last time, I heard from the people here that now the abbot of this temple has returned to the world, raised his hair, and the rest of the monks have followed, and the four or five hundred people gathered have robbed the house. For the head of the man, it seems to be called to do some golden-eyed tiger Deng Long. ”

Lin Chong nodded, and his heart was full of bad feelings for this Deng Long, such as Deng Fei and Meng Kang falling into the grass, it was because he couldn't bear the oppression of the government that he killed the officials and rebelled.

But this Deng Long is a good monk, who will oppress him? At this time, seeing that the world was in chaos, the monk should not change his career to become a robber, and he was not a good person at first glance, and he usually did bad things.

At that moment, Lin Chong ordered the team to slow down, and asked Ma Ling to take a few people to touch the foot of the mountain, if this Deng Long led the team down the mountain, he would easily exterminate this gang of robbers for the Qingzhou government, which could be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.

Not long after Ma Ling and the others left, the group also stopped, jumped off their mounts and led these two horses to sweat the horses, and at this time, Wang Feiyu had already returned with the team to pay the order.

"Brother, that gang of robbers has been killed by us, and more than ten of them have been killed on the spot, and the others have run away into the woods, and I haven't chased them. It's just that the prisoner and two escorted public servants, seeing our banner of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, had to come to thank him in person, so I brought them here. ”

Lin Chong nodded, and saw the three of them trotting all the way over, seeing so many soldiers and horses for Lin Chong and others, the two escorts hurriedly ran to Lin Chong, bowed down and thanked him: "Thank you Taiwei for saving your life, we are originally the dukes of Jingzhao Mansion, and we want to go to Shamen Island, we don't want to meet this group of strongmen on the road, and we want to intercept and kill us.

Fortunately, the captain happened to save our lives, and I asked the captain to tell me his name, so that we could burn incense and pray for the captain day and night......"

Lin Chong's heart moved when he heard this, and he hurriedly looked at the prisoner behind the two, only to see that the person had a rich and noble appearance with a square head and big ears, and he was white and fat, and he was stable. Lin Chong secretly thought that Jingzhao Mansion was stabbed with Salmon Island, and he had such a look, wasn't he?

At that moment, Lin Chong had the intention of giving it a try, and looked at the soldier and said, "This is surnamed Pei Mingxuan?" ”

But he said that the army was worried, and suddenly looked at Lin Chong looking at him with burning eyes, and he felt strange, but when he heard Lin Chong ask, he was even more shocked, and said, "How does the Taiwei know my name?" ”

Lin Chong was happy when he heard it, and said in his heart that it was really a coincidence that he couldn't write a book, such a thing was also encountered by himself, and it seems that this Pei Xuan should also be on Liangshan's life.

I heard Lin Chong open his eyes and say nonsense: "I have long heard that Pei Kongmu is loyal and upright, and he is unwilling, and the people have rumored that you are an iron-faced face, but the imperial court will not tolerate Confucius except for the arrival of a member of the greedy prefect, so he will find something to frame you and assassinate you on Salmon Island, yes or no?" ”

Don't talk about Pei Xuan, let's just say that the two dukes were stunned when they heard this, and only then did they say: "Grandpa, Taiwei, you are not a fairy, you can pinch and calculate, and you are not bad at all!" ”

Pei Xuan was also completely stunned: "Taiwei people recognize villains? ”

"I don't recognize this, it's just that I have a friend in Jingzhao Mansion, I just heard him talk about it, and this time is also right, so I asked this question."

Lin Chong shook his head, but turned his head to the two escorted officials: "You two, we are the officers and soldiers who went to Dengzhou, if you don't leave the prisoners, we will escort you to Shamen Island." ”

It turns out that Salmon Island is the temple island of later generations, just in the sea north of Penglai in Dengzhou, just because this Shamen Island is a small isolated island, surrounded by the sea, so it has become an ideal place to detain criminals;

In addition, because of the narrow area of the island, the large number of prisoners, and the supply of food, vegetables, and fresh water on the island are quite tight, the guards on the island have to execute a large number of prisoners every year, and they often torture and kill prisoners for pleasure on weekdays, so once they are assassinated here, it is almost equivalent to being sentenced to death.

For example, in the original Water Margin story, Lu Junyi was assassinated on Salmon Island for the first time, and Xue Ba, who escorted him, said to him clearly: "If you go to Shamen Island, you will die, so it is better to send you away as soon as possible." ”

It can be known that Jing Zhaoyin sent Pei Xuan to Shamen Island, in fact, he wanted Pei Xuan to die on the island.

Lin Chong understood this, and the two dukes naturally understood this, and heard Lin Chong praise Pei Xuan, who didn't understand what Lin Chong meant at the moment, and the two of them suddenly knelt down in fright, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

"Taiwei Rongyu, it's not that the two of us are ruthless, it's really that Jing Zhaoyin must Pei Kongmu die, afraid that we will let him go for personal gain, so he issued a death order If we can't take the official document of Salmon Island to return to life, we will stab the two of us to Shamon Island!"

Wang Feiyu said quickly: "Then you can't run?" ”

The two cried: "It's easy for us to run away, but there are old and young people in the family, but they are all in the hands of Jing Zhaoyin!" Master Taiwei must let Pei Kongmu go, it will harm our family! ”

Lin Chong couldn't help but sneer, it seems that this Pei Xuan really offended this Jing Zhaoyin, otherwise why would he, a newly arrived prefect, have to put him to death, or even life is better than death?

But what can he, a loyal and intelligent, unreluctant, and accommodating Confucius (equivalent to the chief prosecutor and the head of the criminal division of the court), offend him? In the final analysis, it's not that he refuses to go along with him, corrupt and pervert the law, and get in the way of his business.

This world really deserves to die!

But there is no need to embarrass these two dukes, at that moment Lin Chong stretched out his hand, took out a stack of fifty yuan of money from the bag, and said: "That dog prefect can kill you, can't this Taiwei kill you?"

Now that I have the money, hurry up and get out, or go back secretly to take my family out, or settle down elsewhere, and if there is any more nonsense, I will cut you all down one by one, and say that it was killed by robbers, who can know? ”

Seeing this, the two also knew that they would definitely not be able to please if they continued to entangle, so they hurriedly took the money and left thankfully.

At this time, Lin Chong looked at Pei Xuan and was about to pull him to join the Liangshan Army, when he saw Ma Ling flying over, as fast as a galloping horse.
