Chao Gai Zhuang, after listening to Sanniang's words, Song Jiang also said: "Exactly, now is not the time to laugh." My brother and I have fellowship, and I am deeply righteous, my brother is a confidant brother, I gave up my life to save you, that is, listen to my brother, now the Huangnigang incident has happened! Bai Sheng has already taken himself in the Jeju prison and confessed to you and the other eight people. The Jeju Mansion sent a He to arrest, with a number of people, with the Taishi Mansion Jun Ti, and the state documents, to arrest you and other eight people, and you are the leader. Fortunately, it hit me in my hands, and I only said that the county was asleep, and taught He to wait for me in the tea shop across the county. With this Pegasus, he came to report on his brother. 'Thirty-six plans, go for the top plan'. If you don't go quickly, what should you do? I went back to lead him to the hall to send an official document, and when the county did not move, I sent someone down overnight, you must not delay, if there is some negligence, what can be done! Don't complain that the little brother won't come to save you. ”

Sanniang secretly glanced at Song Jiang and said, "What Song Abbot said is that the only way to go first is to go for today." Chao Gai listened and said: "The great kindness of the virtuous brother is difficult to repay!" Song Jiang said: "Brother, Hu Yishi, the two of you have to say more, just arrange walking, don't get entangled, and I'll go back." Chao Gai said: "Among the eight people, Hu Guanren has already told his brother. These three, one Wu pedant; A Gongsun Sheng, from Jizhou; A Liu Tang, a native of Dongluzhou. Song Jiang gave a little salute, turned around and left, and instructed: "Brother take care, leave quickly, brother will go." Song Jiang came out of the village, got on the horse, hit two whips, and flew as if he was looking at the county.

After Song Jiang left, Chao Gai asked, "How did you get tracked by the government?" Sanniang said He Tao's words, and finally sighed: "Baozheng knows all over the world, so I should let Baozheng disguise, and I was negligent in this section." Bai Sheng is also a good gambler, although he showed his feet, but he was deceived by the government, and he did not intend to betray his brother. ”

Chao Gai and Wu Yong were ashamed, and they both said: "If you don't listen to the words of the officials, it really happened." Gongsun Sheng said: "Now that I have received the news, I am sorry for the officials to hear it clearly, and there is a timely rain Song Gongming to report the news, I should go first, but where to go?" I heard that Shaohua Mountain is recruiting talents, why don't you go there? ”

Chao Gai glanced at Sanniang, and thought to himself: "A manly man, standing up to the sky, can no longer be sheltered by a woman." At that moment, he said: "Shaohua Mountain is a long way to go, and the government must be very strict along the way, how can you go there through the state and county?" Although I have made a lot of friends, I am not close to him. Wu Yong said: "What my brother said is that Shaohua Mountain is too far away to quench my thirst, and I have been thinking about it in my stomach." Now we have packed up our five or seven burdens and walked all the way to Sanruan's house in Shijie Village. I will send one of them urgently to speak to his brother first. ”

Chao Gai said: "Sanruan is a fisherman, how can he settle me and many others?" Wu Yong said: "Brother, you are so fine!" Shijie Village is getting closer and closer, and it is Liangshanbo. Now that the cottage is thriving, the officials and soldiers are catching thieves, and they don't dare to look at him squarely. If we were in a hurry, we would have joined the gang as soon as possible. ”

Chao Gai said: "This theory is extremely good, but I am afraid that they will not accept us." Sanniang said: "Baozheng doesn't need to worry, my senior brother is Lin Chong, the leopard head of Liangshan, and with my recommendation, he will definitely be able to join the gang." Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and Chao Gai said: "Since the discussion has been decided, there is no need to wait." Mr. Wu, you and Liu Tang brought a few Zhuang guests, and went to Ruan's house to settle down first, but they came to pick us up on the dry road. I came after a merger with Hu Guanren and Mr. Gongsun. "Wu Yong and Liu Tang robbed the birthday gang to get gold and jewelry, made five or six loads of loads, called five or six villagers, and ate wine and food at once.

Wu used the copper chain on his sleeve, Liu Tang carried the Pu knife, imprisoned five or seven dans, and a group of more than ten people, and threw himself into Shijie Village. After Chao Gai and Hu Sanniang and Gongsun Sheng sent Wu Yong and Liu Tang away, Gongsun Sheng took the first step back to the village to clean up, and Sanniang pulled Chao Gai as if he had something to say.

At that moment, Chao covered his feet, and the two of them stood still under the willow tree outside the village, Sanniang looked forward to it with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said in a low voice: "Brother Baozheng, in order to wait for me, I have involved you." Chao Gai smiled: "But there is no such thing, you are a woman, and you should take care of you more, but it's a pity that I didn't help." Sanniang heard the sentence of a woman, snorted and said, "Baozheng, can you not mention my identity as a woman?" It's all said that you don't need to treat me as a woman. Chao Gai's eyes widened and said, "You are a woman." Sanniang was so angry that after glaring at him, she went straight away, Chao Gai was confused, so she had to turn back.

Back to the village, Chao Gai went to pack his bags, and some of the villagers who refused to go gave him some money and things, and went from him to vote for the master. Those who wished to go were all on the village and folded their belongings and tied their luggage. Exactly: there are many thieves when there is no way, and it is difficult for heroes to advance and retreat. Just because Xiushi lives in a cottage, buying a thief is like buying an official.

Besides, Song Jiang Pegasus went to the next place, and hurriedly came to the teahouse, only to see He Guan looking at the door. Song Jiang said: "Observe and wait for a long time. But there was a relative in the village who said some housework in the lower place, so it was delayed. He Tao said: "I'm also waiting for Chen Yuhou, but I haven't been there for a long time." ”

Song Jiang was secretly amused in his stomach, and thought to himself: "You and the person who robbed the birth gang sat and drank tea for a long time, but you didn't know it, and you were still waiting here." He said, "In that case, let's wait a while with observation." ”

The two waited for a long time and didn't see Chen Yuhou, He Tao became anxious, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "I won't wait, and I will ask the priest to introduce you to the county." Song Jiang said: "Please observe the county." "The two of them entered the yamen, and when they were the magistrate of the county, Wenbin was in the hall to handle affairs. Song Jiang will seal the official document, lead He to observe until the side of the bookcase, and ask the left and right to hang the avoidance card, Song Jiang said forward: "Feng Jeju Mansion official document, for the thief's urgent official business, the special arrest envoy He observed this document." ”

The magistrate took it and opened it, so he looked at it in the hall, was shocked, and said to Song Jiang: "This is the work of the Taishi Mansion to send a cadre to wait for a reply." If you are a thief, you can send someone to catch him. Song Jiang said: "If you go during the day, you are afraid that the news will be gone, so you can only send someone to catch it at night." If you come to the house, the seven will be found. Shi Zhi County said: "This Dongxi Village Chao Baozheng is famous for being a good man, how can he be willing to do such a thing?" Then he called Wei Si and two heads, one surnamed Zhu and the other surnamed Lei, and the name Heng. The two of them are not waiting for idlers.

At that moment, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, the two came to the back hall, received the words of the county, got on the horse with the county lieutenant, went to the captain's division, and pointed up the horse step archers and more than 100 native soldiers. That night, they all brought rope weapons, the county lieutenant rode a horse, and the two heads also rode horses, each with a waist knife, bow and arrow, holding a simple knife in his hand, and the front and rear horse step archers were surrounded, and they went out of the east gate and rushed to the Chao family in Dongxi Village.

When I arrived in Dedongxi Village, it was already a change of weather, and I went to a Guanyin Nunnery to get it. Zhu Tong said: "In front is Chaojiazhuang. Chao Gai's house has two roads before and after. If they all go to the front door of him, he will look at the back door and go away; Coaxed to hit his back door, he ran to the front door and left. I need to know that Chao Gai is good and has been born, but I don't know who those seven are, and they must not be good gentlemen. Those guys are all dead, if they are killed together, and there is the help of the banker, but how can they resist him? I had to strike east and west, and wait for the guys to run around, so I could start. If I and Lei Dutou split into two ways: I divided half of the people with you, and we all went on foot, and first looked at him and ambushed him at the back door; Wait for the whistle to sound, you wait for the front door to enter, see one catch one, see two catch a pair. ”

Lei Heng said: "That's what I said. Zhu Dutou, you and the county lieutenant are in from the front door, and I will intercept the back road. Zhu Tong said: "Brother Xian, you don't have to save it." There are three ways to live in Chaogai Village, and I see them all in my spare time. When I go there, I must know his way, and I will see him without a torch. You don't know where he is going yet, and if you slip through the matter, it's not a trick. ”

The county lieutenant said: "Zhu Dutou is right, you take half of the people there." Zhu Tong said: "It's only enough to get about thirty." Zhu Tong led ten archers and twenty native soldiers, and went first. The county lieutenant got on the horse again, and Lei Heng put the horse step archers in front and behind, helping the county lieutenant. The native soldiers and others were all in front of the horses, shining on thirty or twenty torches, holding steel forks, simple knives, staying in guests, and hook sickles, and they all rushed to Chaojiazhuang.

Before arriving at Dezhuang, Wu has more than half a mile of road, only to see a wisp of fire in Chaogai Village, burning up from the middle hall, gushing black smoke all over the ground, red flames flying into the air. After walking less than ten steps, I saw about thirty or forty fires in all directions of the front and rear doors, all of which were blazing together. In front of Lei Heng held up the Pu knife, and the local soldiers behind shouted loudly, and they all opened the door of the village and threw themselves inside. When he looked, the fire shone as brightly as the day, and he did not see a single man, but he could hear shouts from behind, and shouts for him to get up, and to call for men to be caught in front. It turned out that Zhu Tong had the intention of letting go of Chao Gai, and deliberately made a thunderbolt to hit the front door. This Lei Heng also has the intention to save Chao Gai, so as to be the first to hit the back door; was told by Zhu Tong that he had to hit his front door. deliberately made such a fuss, and the sound was blowing, and he wanted to urge Chao Gai to leave.

When Zhu Tong arrived at the back of the village at that time, Wu Zichao had not cleaned up. When Zhuang Ke saw it, he came to report to Chao Gai and said: "The official army has arrived!" Without further ado! Sanniang smiled and said: "Baozheng doesn't need to panic, it seems to me that people are either Zhu Tong or Lei Heng, both of them have the intention to let you go, just a little rush, he will definitely get out of the way." ”

Chao Gai saw that Sanniang was determined, only taught Zhuang Ke to clean up and stop, and set fire in all directions, he and Hu Sanniang and Gongsheng Sun led more than a dozen Zhuang Ke to go, raised the Pu knife, came from the back door first, and shouted: "When I die!" Those who avoid me are born! Zhu Tong shouted in the dark shadow: "Bao Zhengxiu go!" Zhu Tong has been waiting for you here for a long time. Chao Gai said that he was there to talk about Hu Sanniang and Gongsun Sheng, and he only cared about killing him. Zhu Tong really flashed, let go of a road, and let Chao Gai go.

Chao Gai asked Hu Sanniang and Gongsun Sheng to lead Zhuang Ke to go first, and after he was alone, Sanniang refused, holding Chao Gai's side, and let Gongsun Sheng go first. Zhu Tong made the foot archers rush in from the back door and shouted, "Catch the thief ahead!" Lei Heng listened, turned around and went out of the village, and asked the horse step archers to go separately. Lei Heng was free under the firelight, looking east and west to find people. Zhu Tong left the local soldiers, held up his knife, and went to catch Chao Gai.

Chao Gai and Sanniang walked for a while, Sanniang saw that there was no one left and right, pulled Chao Gai to stop, turned around and smiled: "Zhu Dutou, if you have the heart to send each other, you can get here." Chao Gai also turned around and said, "Zhu Dutou, what do you just do after me?" I have to be fine! ”

Zhu Tong saw the two of them stop, and was slightly stunned: "Who is next to Baozheng?" How do I know if I want to? Chao Gai introduced Hu Sanniang and Zhu Tong to him, and Zhu Tong exclaimed: "It turned out to be Hu Yishi of the Mighty Western Army, and it was really late to meet each other." ”

After the three of them saw the salute, they saw that there was no one behind, so they dared to say: "Baozheng, what Hu Yishi said is right, I am here to release you this time." I'm afraid that Lei Heng will be obsessed, and he won't do favors, and I will earn him to hit your front door, and I will wait for you to come out and release you. You see me get out of the way and let you pass. Thou shalt not go anywhere else, but you may live in peace except for Liangshanbo. Chao Gai said: "I deeply feel the grace of saving my life, and I will repay it one day!" "There is a poem as proof: how to catch a thief and steal, official stolen goods should be the same as stolen goods. There is no doubt that the government can be a thief, and the emperor will not tolerate it.

While Zhu Tong was talking, he only heard Lei Heng shouting behind him: "Hugh is gone!" Zhu Tong divided Fu Chao Gai and Sanniang and said: "Baozheng and righteous people, the two of them are in a panic, just take care of one side, and I will transfer him by myself." ”

Sanniang said with a smile: "Don't panic Zhu Dutou, Lei Dutou is also here to release people." At that moment, Sanniang stepped forward and shouted at Lei Heng: "Lei Dutou, don't work far away." Lei Heng listened, and when he looked closer, he recognized that this little official was Chao Gai's nephew, and when he glanced at it, he saw that the figure behind him was Chao Gai there.

Lei Heng had the intention to let Chao Gai go away, and immediately stood up and said: "I see that there are three thieves looking at the east path, and you will go to chase after you first, and I will arrive later." After the local soldiers went, Lei Heng hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Sanniang and said: "Little official, this is not the place to talk, I know that Bao Zheng is ahead, I will lead the chasing soldiers away, you and Bao Zheng go first." ”

After saying that, Lei Heng led the people himself, and threw himself on the east path, and the native soldiers rushed there. Sanniang turned back, Chao Gai and Zhu Tong could also hear the two of them speak clearly, Chao Gai sighed: "Lei Dutou is also a righteous person. Zhu Tong said: "It's my difference." Baozheng, righteous man, I will give you two rides, but when there are pursuers, I will send myself. At the moment, Zhu Tong was talking to Chao Gai and Sanniang, and he was rushing the two of them, but they were similar to the ones that were sent.

Gradually, Chao Gai disappeared in the dark shadows, and Zhu Tong only stumbled and fell to the ground. Then the native soldiers came, helped forward, and were rescued. Zhu Tong replied: "I couldn't see the path in the dark shadow, I lost my foot and walked down the field, slipped and fell, and my left leg was broken. The county lieutenant said: "If you are a thief, how can you be born!" Zhu Tong said: "It's not that the villain doesn't rush, in fact, the moon is dark, and there is no reason." These native soldiers, who had few useful people, did not dare to move forward. ”

The county lieutenant asked the local soldiers to catch up again, and all the local soldiers said in their hearts: "Both are headed, Shang Wu is useless, and he can't be close, what is the use of us?" They all went to the void and hurried back, and then said, "I don't know which way to go in the black field." Lei Heng also rushed back all the time, thinking in his heart: "Zhu Tong and Chao Gai are the best, how dare I let him go, I have no reason to be a wicked person." I also have the heart to let him go, but now I have gone, but I have lost my favor. Chao Gai is not easy to mess with. He came back and said, "Where can you catch up?" This gang of thieves has done it! ”

When the county lieutenant and the two returned to the village, it was already the fourth watch. He saw that everyone was scattered, and after a night's rush, he didn't get a thief, but he only complained: "How to go back to Jeju to see Fu Yin!" "The county lieutenant had to arrest a few neighbors and send them to Yuncheng County.
