Chapter 2: Cai Fu Prison Guards Qilin, Hu Lan Tugang meets the prodigal son
was in prison, but the person who spoke was the executioner of the two houses who was imprisoned and used as a torturer, surnamed Cai, Mingfu, and the name of the Daimyo Mansion. Because of his skill, people call him an iron arm. There is a brother-in-law standing next to him, named Cai Qing, and there are poems as evidence: Cai Qing is called in the prison congregation, with thick eyebrows and strong eyes. The red shirt is painted with gold, and the brown clothes are embroidered with wood. The curved collar is darkly dyed with soap, and the fluttering Bo belt is lightly yellowed. The golden ring is splendid and the turban is small, and a flower branch is inserted next to the sideburns. This little prison Cai Qing was born to love to bring a flower, and the people of Hebei are smooth, and they all call him a flower Cai Qing. The man stood beside his brother with a stick of fire and water. Cai Fu said: "You take this death row prisoner in that prison, and my family will come after a walk." Cai Qing took Lu Junyi with him.
Cai Fu got up, walked out of the prison door, turned around the state bridge, and saw a tea doctor, who stopped and sang: "Festival level, there is a guest upstairs in the villain's tea room, talking at the section level. When Cai Fu came upstairs to watch, it was Li Gu, the supervisor. After each salute, Cai Fu said: "What does the director have to say?" ”
Li Gu said: "Treachery is not hidden, pretty is not bullying, the villain's affairs are all in the belly of the festival." Tonight, as long as the light is gone. There is no filial piety, fifty taels of garlic gold are here, and they are sent to the festival level. The officials in the hall, the villain went to take care of himself. ”
Cai Fu said with a smile: "You don't see that on the ring stone in the main hall, it is engraved with 'the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to bully'." You're hiding your intentions, I'm afraid I don't know! Thou hast betrayed thy master, and thou hast consulted with strangers for the riches of thy house, and hast given me fifty taels of gold, and hast taken his life. In the future, the criminal officer will be dismissed, and I can't bear this kind of lawsuit. Li Gu said: "It's just that the section level is too little, and the villain will add another fifty taels." ”
Cai Fu said: "Li Gu, you cut the cat's tail and mix the cat's rice!" The Daimyo's Mansion is famous for a Lu Yuan, and it is only worth this hundred taels of gold? If thou wilt thou shalt bring me to the ground, I will not deceive thee, but thou shalt give me five hundred taels of gold. Li Gu said: "If the gold is here, it will be given to the festival level, as long as something is done tonight." Cai Fu took the gold, hid it beside him, got up and said, "Come and carry the corpse tomorrow morning." Li Gu thanked him and went happily.
Cai Fu returned home, but only when he entered the door, he saw a person lift the reed curtain and then enter. The man shouted: "See you at the Cai Jie level." When Cai Fu saw it, he was an old acquaintance in the city, specializing in a small house at the head of the bird shed.
Seeing this, Cai Fu hurriedly closed the door, and said, "You came just in time, the master's senior brother Lu Yuanwai is now in prison, and the news must be spread as soon as possible." The man said, "But listen to my brother." ”
It turned out that Cai Fu and Cai Qing had already been entrusted to the White Lotus Sect, and they were the leaders of the White Lotus Sect and Hujiazhuang in the Daimyo Mansion. At that moment, Cai Fu wrote a letter and handed it to the little guy and said: "This letter is urgent, and I am afraid that there will be some sparseness on the way, so I should release seven carrier pigeons." That Lu Yuanwai is in prison, how many people make money to buy his life, I can still maneuver here for some time, I only hope that after the letter goes, the master will come to the idea as soon as possible, and I will act here. Therefore, if you have to return the book, you can report to me quickly. The little guy went away.
After Cai Fu ordered someone to send the news, he just wanted to think about Lu Junyi, thought about it for a while, returned to the prison, and discussed with Cai Qing. Cai Qingdao: "Brother, there is a way that money can make ghosts grind, and since Li Gu has received five hundred taels of gold, he can first make some money up and down, and teach him to use his ill-gotten gains as life-saving money." ”
Cai Fudao: "The theory of brothers is exactly what I want. You should settle Lu Yuanwai well, and sooner or later you will put some good food and wine on him, and spread a message to him. Cai Fu and Cai Qing discussed and decided, and secretly bought the gold and sued them. After the officials in the daimyo's mansion had a lot of money, they said in front of Liang Zhongshu, and Liang Zhongshu also intended to leave Lu Junyi's life first and hold it in his hand as a hostage, so he ordered not to cause harm, just wait for the reply of the capital case, and then deal with it, so that Lu Junyi's life could be saved.
The next day, Li Gu did not see any movement and came to Cai Fu's house to urge the merger. Cai Qinghui said: "We were about to start with him, but the Chinese secretary refused to do so, and someone had already paid for it, so we wanted to save his life." You go to use it yourself, and pay for it, why is it difficult for me here? ”
Li Gu then went to use it again. In the middle, the money person went to entrust, and Liang Zhongshu said: "I heard that this Lu Junyi still has a confidant, named the prodigal son Yanqing, who escaped when he was arresting Yiying and others. This person is also a person related to this case, and if he has not been brought to justice, this case will be difficult. Li Gu secretly complained, the prodigal son Yan Qing and Lu Junyi went out to do goods together, Lu Junyi went back first, Yan Qing took the goods behind, I thought I heard the rumors, he had already escaped, how could I get him back? After two pushes, Zhang Kongmu had already gotten the gold, so he just delayed the copywriting on the date.
On this day, the head of the bird shed in the Daimyo's mansion got Liangshan's reply, and hurriedly sent it to Cai Fu and Cai Qing brothers, and the two were overjoyed after reading it, so they each acted according to their instructions. The handwritten letter entrusted by Hu Sanniang was naturally brought by Cai Fu, and he bought the small house in the study room of Liang Zhongshu's mansion and put it on Liang Zhongshu's desk.
The next day, it was strange to say, overnight, inside and outside the Daimyo's mansion, hundreds of Liangshanbo posts were posted everywhere, and the city and outside the city reported that in the future, Liang Zhongshu read it, and his soul flew out of the sky and scattered in the sky.
The post reads: Liangshan Bo Lord Hu Lan, Yang Ming Mansion, proclaim to the world. Today, the Great Song Dynasty is the abuse of officials, the dictatorship of the corrupt officials, the oppression of the good, and the misery of all surnames. Beijing Lu Junyi is a heroic man, a good citizen, who has no objection, how to covet family wealth and frame and kill kindness! If I save the lives of Lu Junyi's family and sacrifice the slaves of the betrayal, I will not be disturbed; If you hurt your wings and bend your humerus, you should pull out the village and rejuvenate the division, and you will hate it with one heart, and the soldiers will be everywhere, and the jade will be burned. Eradicate treachery, destroy foolishness, heaven and earth are helped, ghosts and gods are angry, talk and laugh into the city, and there is no forgiveness. Righteous husbands and women, filial sons and grandsons, good righteous and good people, prudent officials, do not be frightened, and each has a safe occupation. The public is aware.
At that time, Liang Zhongshu read the headless notice, and when he was wondering, he happened to see a headless letter on the table, and after opening it, he was even more shocked into a cold sweat, only to see it written: The Daimyo Mansion stayed behind Liang Zhongshu, I am Liangshan Hulan, this time you catch my senior brother, if you dare to harm my senior brother, be careful of your dog's life, I can put the letter on your case unconsciously, and I can also unknowingly result in your life, if you don't believe it, but you can try!
Liang Zhongshu saw that his soul was scattered, and hurriedly called Wang Taishou to come and discuss: "How to dissect this matter?" Wang Taishou is a cowardly person, and when he heard this, he said to Liang Zhongshu: "Liang Shanbo's gang, the imperial court has not been able to arrest him several times, and there is also this Jizhou Qinghu demon girl, who went to the court three times to fight Hujiazhuang, and three trips to accumulate 100,000 soldiers, all of which were defeated by her. Now this Hujiazhuang and Liangshan are in one place, and the demon girl lives there, and the two are working together, how can I stop the power of a county here? If this outlaw leads the troops to come, and the court does not save the troops, it will be too late to regret it! If you talk about the stupidity of petty officials: and spare the lives of Lu Junyi's family, while writing a table, and applying for the court; Second, the letter is presented to Master Cai, and the grace is known; The three can teach the military horses of the department to go out of the city and go to the village, and be prepared. In this way, the Daimyo's Mansion can be safe, and the soldiers and civilians will not be harmed. If these two are killed for a while, I am afraid that the soldiers will come to the city, one will not be rescued, the two will be surprised by the court, and the third will be the people panicked, and the city will be disturbed, which is deeply inconvenient. ”
Liang Zhongshu listened and said: "The prefect's words are extremely right. First called Cai Fulai, who was imprisoned, and said: "Lu Junyi's family is not trivial. If you are tightly restrained, you fear your life; If he teaches you to be lenient, he is afraid that he will leave. Thy two brothers, sooner or later, can be tight or slow, and care about the steadfastness and waiting for the fall, and rest all the time. Cai Fu listened to it and was secretly happy in his heart: "This kind of distribution is right in the heart." "After receiving the Jun Order, I went to the prison to comfort Lu Junyi's family, with good wine and meat, but I raised it well, no problem.
But it was said that Hu Sanniang, Liu Tang and Mu Hong took the first step, and within a day they arrived at the boundary of the Daimyo's Mansion, and walked to a post, only to see that there were bushes here, some trees, and the three of them were hungry, so they got off the horse and divided some dry food on the side of the road.
While eating, I heard the mournful cry of birds and birds on my head, and with a poof, one bird was hit by a crossbow arrow and fell in front of three. Liu Tang and Mu Hong were taken aback when they saw it, they each got up, took out the Pu knife, and protected Sanniang on the left and right.
When I was young, I saw a person snatched down from the post, more than six feet tall, twenty-four or five years old, with three teeth covering his mouth and thin hair, and a very thin waist and broad shoulders. Wear a papaya heart top turban, wear a white shirt with a silver silk yarn collar, tie a spider spot red line to press the waist, and wear a pair of earthy yellow leather oil shoulder boots. A pair of gold rings on the back of the head, a Xiangluo handkerchief to protect the neck, a celebrity fan obliquely inserted around the waist, and a hairpin with four seasons flowers on the sideburns.
When the man saw Sanniang and the three, he was taken aback at first, but then he lowered his head and walked over, only to see the bird go. Mu Hong saw his appearance and said in a low voice: "This person has bad intentions, be careful." Sanniang smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Hugh hurt his life." ”
The man took the bird, took the crossbow, pulled back, slapped his shoulder, and passed past Mu Hong's two sides. Although Mu Hong was prepared, he was beaten to a stumbling ground if he didn't prevent him from being so fast.
But the man waited for the fist to hit the one in front of him again, but was hit back by Mu Hongpu's knife with a long handle, hitting the man's left leg and knocking him to the ground. Liu Tang grabbed it, stepped on the man, pulled out his waist knife, and put it against his throat.
Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the man hurriedly shouted: "Good man, it doesn't matter if I die, but please spread a message to me to save my master." ”
When Liu Tang was about to ask, Sanniang got up with a smile and came to the front and said, "Your master is Lu Junyi, a jade unicorn in Hebei?" Are you the prodigal son Yanqing? The man was taken aback and said, "How does this lady know?" ”
It turned out that this person was a native of the Daimyo Mansion, and his parents died when he was a child, and he was raised by Lu Yuanwai's family. In order to see that he was dressed in snow and like white meat, Lu Junyi called a master craftsman and tattooed him with this body full of embroidery, but it looked like a jade pavilion with soft emeralds on the pillars. If you are a champion, whoever you are, you will lose to him. No, a good embroidery, but also blowing, playing, singing, dancing, dismantling the white words, and continuing the hemp, nothing can't, nothing can't. It is also said that the road is talked about, and the city language of the province is all walks and arts. What's more, no one can compare: holding a Sichuan crossbow, using only three short arrows, falling in the suburbs, and not emptying, the arrows fall to the object; When I entered the city at night, there were 100 insects and ants that were killed. If the competition is in the championship club, the profits and things there are all his. And this person is very clever and knows the end.
His surname is Yan, ranking first, and the official list is a blue character. The people in the daimyo's mansion were smooth, and they all called him the prodigal son Yanqing. There was once a "Qinyuan Spring" that talked about the benefits of Yanqing, but see: if the lips are painted with Zhu, the eyes are like paint, and the face is like a pile of Qiong. There are heroes and martial arts, Lingyun ambition, and intelligence. The instrument is naturally down, and the upper end of Liangshan is a boast. The ancient tune of Yizhou, singing the sound of winding the beam. Sure enough, it is an art garden specialty, and the first place in the wind and moon. Listen to the noise of the drum board, the sound of the sheng is loud, and the romance is freely narrated. The sticks are jagged, the fists are flying, and the four hundred military states are shocked everywhere. Everyone envies the heroic leader, the prodigal son Yanqing. (To be continued.) )
