Tang Long was a little confused when he heard this, and immediately asked, "How do you have anything to do with the younger brother?" It's a little confusing. ”

Xu Ning explained: "A few days ago, the Taiwei Tong Guan called me over, and wanted my brother and my ancestral treasure armor Golden Circle Yan Lingjia, but I refused, it must be that the old thief has a grudge, and his brother is drunk and making trouble, seeing that Tong Guan old thief knows the relationship between you and me, this is why such a crime was set, until you and my brother die, alas, the court is unreasonable, and the traitors are chaotic."

"His grandmother's, wronged a good person for no reason, this world is dim, if you want me to say it, it is better to sit on this charge, and go to Liangshan to gather righteousness, it is better to be angry with the dog official here." After listening to Xu Ning's speculation, Tang Long immediately became angry from his heart to his guts, and said hatefully.

Xu Ning wanted to refute, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, although Tang Long didn't like what he said, but his words were not rough, so he had to sigh, worried about his mother and the child who had just been born.

Xu Ning was arrested in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, although there is a child's breath, but there is still a passing scene in accordance with the judicial procedures of the Great Song Dynasty, and a person in Kaifeng Mansion knows who this person is, not someone else is the Confucius of Kaifeng Mansion, this person is a single name of the people, the most straightforward, very good, as long as the person is thoughtful, so people are called Sun Foer.

This Sun Ding is a good official, and he also appeared in the Water Margin, when Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in Tokyo and the head of the leopard, offended Gao Yu, and was framed by design and mistakenly entered the White Tiger Hall and put him in prison.

This Sun Ding got Xu Ning's case documents and looked at it, and with many years of experience in handling cases, he knew that there must be something strange in it, they all worked on the official road, and they all knew that this Xu Ning had offended Tong Guan and was a good man who was framed.

Sun Dingwei is the most unattractive thing for the official, but there are times when people in officialdom can't help themselves, and they are soft-spoken, and it is impossible to protect Xu Ning, so he got up immediately to find Zhang Tiande, the governor of the palace, and only by persuading Zhang Tiande can he save Xu Ning's life.

Out of his office, came to the back hall of Kaifeng Mansion, where Yin Zhang Tiande was drinking tea leisurely, when he saw that Sun Ding came in, he said with a smile, and said: "Sun Kongmu is here, sit down, sit down."

This Zhang Tiande is a new official, Sun Ding has worked in Kaifeng Mansion for more than ten years, and it can be said that he is a veteran-level figure, although Zhang Tiande is Sun Ding's top boss, but he does not dare to offend Sun Ding easily.

Sun Ding respectfully bowed his hand to Yin Zhang Tiande, the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, and said, "Your Excellency."

Seeing Sun Ding so respectful, Zhang Tiande was also quite useful, and the smile on his face was even better, so he immediately asked, "What is the matter with Sun Kongmu looking for this official?"

"Do you know about Xu Ning's case?" Sun Ding didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly.

Zhang Tiande was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said: "I know, this is the order of Tong Shumi himself, and the official is just acting on orders, what did Sun Kongmu do when he mentioned this?"

After listening to Zhang Tiande's words, Sun Ding sneered in his heart, and was a little disdainful of Zhang Tiande's words, but there was no change on his face, and when Zhang Tiande finished speaking, Sun Ding said again: "My lord, there are only two people here, the lower official and the adult, then the lower official will speak bluntly."

Zhang Tiande laughed and said, "You and I are not outsiders, Sun Kongmu will say anything if he has something."

"That Xu Ning offended Tong Shumi, so he was sent to our Kaifeng Mansion prison, as for the reason, the adults only know, that is, Xu Ning did not dedicate the ancestral treasure armor to Tong Shumi, and the adult sentenced him to death, but once Xu Ning's family dedicated the treasure armor to Tong Shumi, that is the red man around Tong Shumi, and at that time, he may not be able to grudge with you, and then the adult will not be a person inside and outside." Sun Ding pondered for a moment, sorted out the language, and then said.

When Zhang Tiande heard Sun Ding's analysis, he felt that it made sense, and he didn't pay attention for a while, his face was a little anxious, and he immediately asked: "Then according to Sun Kongmu, how is the official good?"

As soon as Sun Ding saw that Zhang Tiande lost his mind, he was overjoyed in his heart, and he picked up the tea bowl on the table next to him unhurriedly, took a sip of tea slowly, and then said: "Exempt yourself from the capital crime, sentence Xu Ning to be a distribution, and send him a little farther.

Zhang Tiande lost his mind, and he didn't think well about Sun Ding's words, so he nodded again and again, according to Sun Ding's method, Xu Ning and Tang Long should be sentenced and sent to Jiangzhou.

In the past, Sun Ding also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he was even more disdainful of Zhang Tiande in his heart, just now his words were full of loopholes, Zhang Tiande didn't even hear it, such a straw bag of people as officials, no wonder there will be so many people who revolt.

Three days later, after all the formalities were completed, Xu Ning and Tang Long were handcuffed to iron shackles, handcuffed and shackled, and the four messengers from Kaifeng Mansion escorted them out of Bianliang, Tokyo, and went south to Jiangzhou.

Along the way, walking and stopping, the four poor people had the instructions of Confucius and Sun Ding, and naturally took good care of Xu Ning and Tang Long, and did not suffer like Lin Chong, although it was not so comfortable along the way, it was also reasonable.

On this day, in Yanzhou, a group of six people had lunch, rested for a while, drank some water, and then got up and hurried away, and walked to a forest at the foot of the mountain, and saw a Taoist priest blocking the way in front of him.

The four poor people began to be startled, and when they saw that it was a Taoist priest, they were relieved, like them who were in a hurry, the most afraid was that someone would block the road, nine times out of ten they were robbers and bandits, and the four of them knew that they were not robbers when they saw that they were Taoist priests, so they just walked over directly without paying attention.

The six people ignored it, and then hurried away, and when they came to the Taoist priest, they saw clearly that this person's appearance was dressed up, with two hair bands, loose double buns, wearing a collar of Bashan short brown robes, a mixed color silk around the waist, and a pine pattern bronze sword on his back. The white flesh feet are lined with multi-eared hemp shoes, and the cotton bag holds a turtle shell fan in his hand. figure-eight eyebrows, a pair of apricot eyes; With a square mouth, a tribe of beards, and fairy wind bones, it seems that he is not an ordinary person.

Although it was confirmed that it was not a strong man, several people still raised their vigilance, and the Taoist priest was just carrying a pine pattern bronze sword, pinching the sword trick in his hand, and he was also looking at Xu Ning Tanglong and the four messengers of Kaifeng Mansion with his eyes.

The two people are getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, and just as the two sides made a mistake, the Taoist priest suddenly moved, turned his fingers into his hands, and between the electric light and flint, the four messengers of Kaifeng Mansion were pointed at the acupoints, and where they were.

The incident came so suddenly that Xu Ning and Tang Long didn't react, and when the two of them came back to their senses, the shackles, handcuffs and shackles on the two of them were all cut off by the Taoist priest with a sword.

"I don't know where Changxian Township is, respect the name of the people, why did we rescue my brothers if we don't know each other?" Xu Ning clenched his fist at the Taoist and asked.

The Taoist priest laughed, did not answer Xu Ning's question, pointed at Xu Ning with his hand, and then pointed at Tang Long, and said with a smile: "Golden Gunner Xu Ning, you are the money leopard Tang Long."

Xu Ning and Tang Long glanced at each other, their eyes were full of doubts, and they didn't know how this Daoist knew the names of their two brothers.

"Who is the Daoist?" Xu Ning asked again.

The Taoist chief smiled again, twisted his beard in his hand, and said: "The poor Taoist is commonly known as Gongsun Sheng, and the road number is clear, and I watched the sky yesterday night and learned that two heroes were framed by traitors, so I came to rescue him today."

After Gongsun Sheng finished speaking, Tang Long was nothing, Xu Ning was also surprised, Xu Ning was also a leader in Bianliang, Tokyo, and he was also a figure in the green forest, so he naturally heard of Gongsun Sheng's name.

At that moment, Xu Ning respectfully hugged his fist towards Gongsun Sheng, and said: "Isn't the Taoist chief Gongsun Sheng, who can call the wind and rain and ride the fog and clouds, as the heroes of the rivers and lakes say?"

Gongsun Sheng smiled and nodded, and said: "Poor Dao is Gongsun Sheng, as for saying that the nickname of Zhuyun Dragon is just a friend to carry love, don't dare to be it."

As soon as Xu Ning heard Gongsun Sheng's admission, he immediately thanked Gongsun Sheng, and Tang Long next to him naturally followed suit, and after the three of them exchanged pleasantries, Gongsun Sheng said: "Xu Jiaotou, can Brother Tang Long listen to Poor Dao tell a story."

Xu Ning and Tang Long didn't know why Gongsun Sheng was telling the story, but they also said quite respectfully: "Dao Chief, please speak, my brother listens."

Gongsun Sheng smiled slightly, twisted his beard in his hand, and said, "Let's find a secluded place, and it's not too late."

The three of them went out of the woods, found an abandoned mountain temple on the mountain, entered the mountain temple, found a clean place, the three of them sat on the ground, gathered in a circle, Gongsun Sheng smiled and said: "The two brothers walked for a long time, it is estimated that they are thirsty, and they take some wine to eat."

Tang Long next to him laughed and said, "Dao Chang is really joking. There's no one here, did you bring any drinks, where did you come from......"

Tang Long couldn't go on halfway through his words, his eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and just when Tang Long opened his mouth to speak, Gongsun Sheng waved his hand in the air, and a pottery bowl appeared out of thin air, and with another wave, a bowl full of wine appeared in this bowl.

Tang Long's eyes widened, and he didn't find out where the wine and bowl came from, he didn't believe his eyes, he rubbed it vigorously, and then opened the bowl of wine and it was still there, Xu Ning next to him was no exception, he was also shocked, and looked at Gongsun Sheng incredibly, shocked.

Gongsun Sheng smiled slightly, looking like a fairy wind and bones, the appearance of a master in the world, and sent the wine to the front of the two, Tang Long still didn't believe it, took the wine bowl, put it under his nose and smelled it, sure enough, there was a smell of wine, and he drank a big sip again, and the clear wine came down his throat, and the refreshing Tang Long exhaled happily.

"Dao Chief, good spells, if you are really an immortal, you deserve the title of this Cloud Dragon." Xu Ning said admiringly, Gongsun Shenglian said that he didn't dare.

"Then the poor road began to tell the story, and the two of you listened carefully." Gongsun Sheng said.

"The time has to start from the third year of Renzong Jiayou, in the spring of the third year of Renzong Jiayou, the plague epidemic in the south of the Yangtze River soon spread to the east and west of the second capital. Bao Qingtian, the prefect of Kaifeng, who was sitting in Nanya, took out his own silver and gave alms to the decoction, but to no avail, and there were more and more patients. Renzong Tianzi was helpless, took the minister's suggestion, wrote a holy decree with his own hands, sent a stick of incense, and sent the inner and outer points of the palace Taiwei Hongxin as an angel, and went to Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province to invite Zhang Tianshi to come to the court at night and pray for the plague. ”

Hong Xin received the holy decree, took dozens of followers, and went straight to Guixi County, Xinzhou, Jiangxi. More than one day, Hong Xin and his entourage came to Xinzhou, and officials of all sizes greeted them, and the next day they accompanied Hong Taiwei to the foot of Longhu Mountain. The abbot of the Qing Palace on Longhu Mountain led all the disciples, rang the bell and beat the drum, the incense flower lantern candle, and welcomed Hongxin and his party to the mountain. When he came to the Sanqing Palace, Hong Xin asked for a holy decree, and when he didn't see the contemporary Dragon and Tiger Mountain Heavenly Master, he asked: Where is the Heavenly Master? Ask him to come and receive the decree. ”

The host of Longhu Mountain replied: "Returning to Lord Taiwei, this generation of Heavenly Master is called Xujing Heavenly Master, with a high temperament, living in the thatched hermitage on the top of the mountain, not in the palace Taiwei Hongxin asked how to be good when he saw that he couldn't see it, and the host said: The Son of Heaven wants to save all the people, and only if you ask Taiwei to fast and bathe, recite the holy decree, burn the imperial incense, and walk up the mountain to worship the Heavenly Master, you can see it. Although Taiwei Hong was reluctant in his heart, he had to preside over the emperor's order. ”

Before dawn the next day, the Taoist priests waited for Hong Taiwei to bathe in fragrant soup, changed cloth clothes and linen shoes, ate vegetarian food, wrapped the holy decree in yellow cloth, carried it on his back, carried a silver incense burner, burned the imperial incense, pointed out the path, and sent him up the mountain. Hong Xin recited the Tianzun Treasure number, climbed the mountain alone, climbed two or three mountains, walked about two or three miles, his feet were sore, his legs were weak, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. At that moment, a thunderous roar was heard, and a tiger jumped out from behind the pine tree. Hongxin screamed and fell to the ground. The tiger looked at him, roared, and jumped down the hill. ”
