said that Liu Tang was holding a short stick and went straight to Lei Heng. Lei Heng saw Liu Tang catching up, and laughed loudly: "A thief is a bird, but he is not a thief, and his heart is empty?" "Let's say that, I raised the knife in my hand to greet him. The two fought on the road, but they saw: one came and went, like a phoenix turning over; A collision and a rush, like an eagle spreading its wings. One is according to the law; A shield has its own understanding. This T-shaped foot, grab in; The four changed heads, and Ben will go in. Two sentences: Although it is not on the Lingyan Pavilion, it can only be described in the drawing.

At that time, Lei Heng and Liu Tang fought on the road for more than 50 times, Liu Tang's short stick did not take advantage of it, and when he saw that he was about to be unable to stop it, Hu Sanniang screamed, and the sun and moon double knives stepped forward to separate the two, and said: "Stop, I have something to say." ”

Lei Heng had the upper hand, and when he saw that someone was coming to help, he also jumped out of the circle and shouted: "What are you going to say?" Hu Sanniang said with a smile: "Lei Dutou, if I don't underestimate you, you are not my three opponents, if you fight again, you will give your life in vain." If you don't believe it, let's go up to the village and ask for an understanding. ”

Lei Heng roared loudly: "Who gave his life, ask me about this Pu knife first!" Immediately came up to fight with Sanniang, Sanniang smiled, it seems that this winged tiger still has to be suppressed. At that moment, with a coquettish sound, the double knife replaced Liu Tang's short stick, and stepped forward to fight with Lei Heng.

After fighting for twenty or thirty times, Sanniang's two knives, the knife technique is wonderful, unpredictable, Lei Heng was wrapped in the light of the knife, and I saw that there were heavy knife shadows in front of him, and he couldn't stop it. When all the native soldiers saw that Lei Heng was about to lose, they all waited to join him. Liu Tang and Gongsun Sheng each took their blades in their hands, and they wanted to come forward to help.

Sanniang sneered and shouted: "Sir, Brother Liu Tang don't need to do anything, and look at my means!" The two rested for a while, only to see twenty native soldiers come forward, Sanniang was not afraid, double knives to make an iron ruler, only with the back of the knife and the knife surface to beat, after a while knocked over five or seven, the rest of the people did not dare to come forward again.

Lei Heng secretly complained, he thought that this person was weak, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful, and he was going to lose if he fought hard, but Sanniang jumped out of the circle, stood with a knife, and said with a smile: "Lei Dutou, I don't want to hurt the harmony, how about going to Baozheng Village together?" ”

Lei Heng gasped for breath, he just wanted to meet the bandits, and now his life was in danger, but he didn't want Sanniang to take the initiative to stop, and he didn't dare to go up and fight again, but he refused to lose face, and said in his mouth: "It's okay, Master Baozheng Zhuang overturned the soldiers and horses in the county, and I want to ask him about it!" Sanniang glanced at Lei Heng and said, "Don't you just want to ask for some soup and medicine?" There is no need to alarm Baozheng in this matter, knock over your people, I have the soup and medicine fee for you here, and you don't need to mention it again when you get to the village! So saying, he took fifty taels of silver and brought them to him.

Sanniang said: "Fifty taels of silver here are with you to make soup and medicine, if there is a lot of time, you share it yourself, and you don't have to pay it back." Lei Heng accepted it and said: "The more is the pressure fee, see that you are cool, and when you arrive at Baozheng Village, you will not mention this section." ”

Liu Tang couldn't help but shout: "Official, why do you have money with him?" He can't do it, he's already lost, and he still has the face to ask for silver? Lei Heng said angrily: "This official is with me, what are you doing?" I think this official and Taoist chief are good people, and you must be thieves! ”

Liu Tang was furious, and he wanted to come forward to tear up again, Gongsun Sheng hurriedly persuaded Liu Tang, Sanniang stopped in front of Lei Heng, Sanniang said: "Brother Liu Tang, Lei Dutou is good at martial arts, and he is also a good man. There was a fight tonight, and I didn't know each other if I didn't fight. ”

After that, Sanniang walked up to Liu Tang and whispered: "Bear with me, don't want to alarm the official mansion and ruin the big event of the Birth Gang!" If you don't listen to me, you don't count as yours." Liu Tang stopped at this time, but just glared at Lei Heng angrily.

Sanniang looked at the two like fighting cocks, looked at each other and smiled, and then pulled Lei Heng to walk first: "Lei Dutou, go to Baozheng Village to rest together, so that you can relieve the doubts in your heart." Lei Heng said: "Why not go away?" At that moment, the injured soldiers helped each other up and walked together, and Gongsun Sheng pulled Liu Tang to walk at the end.

On the way, Lei Heng said: "Since it is said that it is the Venerable Master Baozhengzhuang, can the petty officials know the deeds of Baozheng?" Sanniang said with a smile: "Naturally, I know that my family Baozheng is the Baozheng of this Dongxi Village, surnamed Chao, named Gai, the ancestor is a wealthy family in this county, and he loves to get to know the world's heroes, but if someone comes to him, no matter how good or bad, he will stay in the village to live; And when he wanted to go, he gave him two pieces of silver to help him get up. I love to stab the spear and make the stick, and I am also strong, I don't marry a wife, and I just boil my muscles and bones all day long. There are two villages outside the east gate of Yuncheng County, one is Dongxi Village and the other is Xixi Village, which is only separated by a big stream. At the beginning, there were often ghosts in this Xixi Village, and they went into the water charmingly during the day, and they were helpless in the stream. Suddenly, a monk passed by, and the people in the village were prepared to tell about it, and the monk pointed to a place to go, and taught to use bluestone to dig a pagoda, put it there, and live by the stream. At that time, the ghosts of Xixi Village all drove over Dongxi Village. At that time, Chao Gai learned about it, was furious, walked from here, and took the bluestone pagoda alone and put it down in Dongxi Village, so everyone called him the king of Tota, and the rivers and lakes heard his name. ”

Lei Heng listened to her carefully, and his doubts went a little more. After a short time, everyone came to Chaogai Zhuang and knocked on the door, and the guests in the village heard about it and reported it to Baozheng. At this time, Chao Gai did not get up, and when he heard that it was Lei Dutou, he hurriedly called to open the door first.

Zhuang Ke opened the Zhuang door, all the local soldiers first rested in the ear room, Sanniang led Lei Heng, Gongsun Sheng, Liu Tang and others to sit down on the grass hall, as if they were their own family, Zhuang Ke saw that Sanniang was dressed luxuriously, only to come with Lei Heng, so he didn't ask.

Chao Gai received it, and when he arrived at the grass hall, Sanniang saw the person who came, eight feet long, with a mighty national face, a momentum of not being angry and self-righteous, and all the villagers were respectful to him, so they knew that this person must be Chao Gai. At that moment, Sanniang rushed forward, hugged her, and pretended to be happy: "Uncle, I can find you." ”

When Chao Gaizheng was shocked, Sanniang said in a low voice: "Recognize it first, and there will be a rich and noble gift to Baozheng." My surname is Hu Xingsan, don't call it wrong. Chao Gai understood in his heart, and he was only overjoyed to hug Sanniang and said, "It turned out to be my nephew Hu Sanlang." Then he said to Lei Heng: "It's all weird, this person is the child of my sister, I have lived here since I was a child, and when I was four or five years old, I went to Nanjing with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and I went for more than ten years. At the age of fourteen or fifteen, he came and went again, and came here to sell with a guest from Benjing, and never saw him again. Xiao Keben couldn't recognize him, he only looked at him and his sister, so Yingying recognized him. ”

Lei Hengjian said so: "Bao Zheng Xiu blame, sure enough, it is really a nephew, when patrolling at night, I saw that the little official and the two companions were in the temple, only as a thief, I knew that it was the Venerable Master Baozheng Zhuang, so it would not be like this, and I was very offended, and the villains went back." Chao Gai said: "All head and live, please sit less, and then have something to say." ”

At that moment, Chao Gai asked the Zhuang Ke to light the lamps and candles, and invited everyone to drink a cup inside. Chao Gai sat on the main seat, Lei Heng sat in the guest seat, Hu Sanniang, Gongsun Sheng and Liu Tangxia were accompanied by the prime minister, a few sat down, and the Zhuang guest shopped fruits, wine, vegetables and dishes. Zhuang Ke sieves the wine on one side, Chao Gai and asks everyone to buy wine and eat with the local soldiers, Zhuang Ke invites everyone to lead to the guest seat under the corridor to be treated, and the large plate of wine and meat is just for everyone to eat.

After drinking three times, Chao Gai Dong asked, "What kind of business is there to do here?" Why did you meet my nephew? Lei Heng replied: "Fengzhi County Minister's decree: Zhu Tong and I led the local soldiers of our subordinates and sent them to patrol all parts of the countryside to catch thieves. At that moment, Lei Heng said in detail, and finally said: "When I didn't agree with a word, I was ordered to my nephew to knock over seven or eight local soldiers." Chao Gai said: "It's really offended, and I must pay back the soup and medicine." ”

Liu Tang was furious, this Lei Heng accepted the money from the officials, and at this time, he said that he must want to cover it again. Gongsun Sheng sneered, but Sanniang blinked and smiled: "Lei Dutou, didn't you already have you before Tang Yao Fei entered the village, that is fifty taels of snow silver." ”

Lei Heng's old face flushed and said: "I haven't mentioned it yet, Baozheng doesn't spend money, and the nephew has already paid for the soup and medicine." Chao Gai glanced at Sanniang, and wondered, what kind of person is fifty taels of silver as soon as he makes a move? But he said: "It's not that, it's also that I neglected to discipline, and I also sent him to the village after labor, and I have my own plans later." ”

A few more glasses of wine, gossip, and a night of trouble, only to see the light of the sky outside the window, Lei Heng said: "The east has moved, the villain has retired, so that he can go to the county to draw Mao." Chao Gai said: "The head of the official body, I don't dare to stay for a long time." If you go to our village on business, you must come and go. Lei Heng said: "But I have to come to visit again, and I don't need to pay for it." Please keep it safe. Chao Gai said: "But it's okay, and it will also be sent to the gate of the village." ”

When he arrived at the door, Chao Gai took out ten taels of silver and gave it to Lei Heng, and said: "Du Tou Xiu is slight, I hope to stay with a smile, my nephew is not troublesome, and Du Tou will take care of it." Lei Heng said: "It shouldn't be like this." Chao Gai said: "If you refuse to accept it, you are a strange villain." Lei Heng said: "Since it is a good intention, the right to accept it, but it will be repaid another day." Chao Gai took some silver and rewarded the local soldiers, and then sent them out of the village. Lei Heng said goodbye and led the native soldiers away.

After Lei Heng left, Chao Gai led Sanniang, Gongsun Sheng and Liu Tang to Houxuan, and asked for the names of the three people, and the three of them said their own. Chao Gai exclaimed: "It turned out to be a powerful earthquake in the northwest, traveling all over the world into the cloud dragon, the two famous rivers and lakes, I wanted to see each other for a long time." Brother Liu Tang is also a good man, and it is a blessing to meet the three of them today. They met Lilly again, and they sat down and spoke again.

Chao Gai said: "There must be something big about the three of them coming here, but it has something to do with the wealth that Shicai said? Sanniang said: "Such a major event should be discussed in secret. At that moment, Chao Gai dismissed the Zhuang guest and said: "But it's okay to say." Sanniang said: "Please tell Brother Liu Tang." ”

Liu Tang said: "The younger brother inquired about Liang Zhongshu, the famous mansion in Beijing, who bought 100,000 gold beads, treasures, toys and other things, and sent them to Tokyo to celebrate his birthday with his father-in-law, Taishi Cai. Four years ago, I also sent 100,000 gold jewelry shells, and when I came halfway, I don't know who robbed me, and there is no place to catch them; This year, he bought 100,000 pieces of gold and jewelry, and arranged to set off sooner or later to catch up with his birthday on June 15. The younger brother thinks that this set is ill-gotten gains, so what's the way to take it! Then you can discuss a reason and go to the middle of the way to get it, and God knows it, and it is not a sin. I heard my brother's name, he is a real man, and his martial arts are outstanding. The younger brother is not talented, but he also has the ability to learn, and he is not afraid of three or five men, who are in the team of one or two thousand military horses, holding a gun. If my brother does not give up, I don't know what my brother thinks in his heart? ”

Chao Gai said: "Strong! Ill-gotten gains, taken without hindrance, even robbed and scattered with the left and near the poor is also good. This matter is feasible, but the three of them came here to be hard, and they were troubled all night, and they will rest for a while, and then talk about it in detail. Gongsun Sheng and Liu Tang looked at Sanniang, and Sanniang smiled slightly: "Let's listen to Baozheng's orders first." At that moment, Chao Gai called Zhuang Ke to lead the three of them to the guest room to rest.

Gongsun Sheng and Sanniang didn't mention it, and said that Liu Tang was thinking in the room: "Hu Guanren and Baozheng are both righteous, only Nai Lei Heng is that guy, and the money of Hu Guanren is not counted, and he doesn't count what he says, and he deceived Chao Baozheng ten taels of silver in vain. Thinking that the guy was not far away, I might as well take a stick and catch up, knock over the guys, but take back the silver, and return the officials and Baozheng, and let out a bad breath. It's a great plan. Liu Tang went out of the room, went to the gun rack and took a simple knife, then went out of the village and strode south to come.
