In the water pavilion, Ruan's Sanxiong invited Hu Sanniang to sit on the main seat, Wu Yong sat down, the three of them did it from their own area, and the five people sat down, and asked the bartender to make a barrel of wine. The shopkeeper put five big pots open, laid down five pairs of chopsticks, put five plates of vegetables and vegetables, beat a barrel of wine, and put them on the table.

Ruan Xiaoer said: "What's the mouth?" The little second brother said: "A new cow is slaughtered, and the flower cake is also like good fat." Ruan Xiaoer said: "Cut ten catties into large pieces." Ruan Xiaowu said: "The officials and professors are not very filial. Sanniang said: "I am very happy to see the three, I will invite you this time, and I will not fight." Wu Yong said with a smile: "Hu Guanren is a wealth star, and the three of them don't need to be polite." ”

The three of them laughed together, and Sanniang said to the shopkeeper: "The wine and meat are only taken care of, and Hugh has to ask." "I urged the shop to just sift the wine, cut the beef into two plates as soon as possible, and put it on the table in the future. Wu Yong ate a few pieces, and then he couldn't eat it, Sanniang only drank there, and looked at the three wolf food and tiger food with a smile, and ate it once. Seeing that it was not enough to eat once, Sanniang ordered to cut another thirty catties of beef to eat, and three of them ate again before they got seven or eight points full.

After eating again, seeing that the three of them slowed down, Sanniang said: "I heard that the three of them have been gambling recently, and they have all lost a strip." It is necessary to know that ten gambles and nine cheats, but it is not unlucky, and this kind of deception is not a legitimate livelihood in the end. Ruan Xiaowu said: "What the official said is true, but he only lost a little." Ruan Xiaoqi said: "I don't believe what the official said, we are also smart people, how can we not see it?" ”

Sanniang smiled and said, "Is there any gambling equipment?" I'm going to take a look. Ruan Xiaowu took out a pair of dice from his arms, and Sanniang took it and said with a smile: "Little Seventh Brother, what did you say you wanted to throw?" Ruan Xiaowu glared and said, "My lord, you can throw whatever you want, isn't it a god?" Ruan Xiaoqi said: "I don't believe it, the officials will come to see it all over the house." ”

Sanniang smiled: "This is easy. "Put the pair of three dice to make a skill, throw it in the porcelain bowl, San Ruan stood up and looked, only to see the three dice grunt and turn, and when they stopped, they turned out to be three big red and a little up, which was a full house.

Ruan Xiaowu exclaimed: "What a god." Ruan Xiaoer's eyes widened and said, "Mo is not blind." Ruan Xiaoqi only said: "Let's throw one, two, three and see." Sanniang smiled and threw it again. The three of them were even more surprised, Ruan Xiaoqi said three dice in a row, and Sanniang threw them one by one, and there was no difference in half a point.

In the end, Ruan Xiaoqi was convinced: "The official is really a good method, if I learn the kung fu of the official, wouldn't I win every gamble?" Sanniang smiled: "If you win every bet, who would dare to bet with you?" The three of them are all heroes, small gambling pleasure, big gambling hurting the body, after all, it is not a good livelihood, and they can't support their families. Wu Yong also said: "What the officials said is that the three brothers can't gamble anymore." ”

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "I really don't hide it from the two of you, these sunsets have to make money to live, and it is not our wish." I am a small lake in Shijie, and there are many fishermen, and I can't catch big fish to sell recently, and I only have some small live fish to come on a boat trip, and I can't sell them at a price. Wu Yongqi said: "Here and Liangshanbo are not far away, and they are connected to the same water, how can fishermen gather in Shijie Lake to compete?" ”

Ruan Xiaoer sighed and said, "Hugh said! Wu Yong asked again: "How can the second brother sigh?" Ruan Xiaowu took over and said: "The two of you don't know, this Liangshanbo is the bread and butter of my brothers first, and now I will never dare to go." Sanniang said with a smile: "The huge place will eventually become a lawsuit and ban fresh fishing." ”

Ruan Xiaowu said: "What kind of lawsuit, dare to come and ban fresh fishing!" Even if it is the living king of Hades, it is forbidden to be cured! Wu Yong answered: "Since there is no lawsuit ban, why don't you dare to go?" Ruan Xiaowu said: "It turns out that the two of them don't know the origin, and they will tell the two of them." ”

Wu Yong said: "Xiaosheng didn't pay attention to it. Ruan Xiaoqi then said: "It's hard to say where this Liangshan Bo goes. Now there is a new group of strongmen in the pod, and it is not allowed to fish. Wu Yong said: "Xiaosheng doesn't know, it turns out that there are strong people now, and I haven't heard of it here." ”

Ruan Xiaoer said: "That group of strongmen, the one who is the head is the first to move, called Wang Lun, a white-clothed showman, the second is called Touching Tian Du Qian, and the third is called Yunli King Kong Song Wan." There is a dry land Hulu Zhu Gui below, and now he opens a hotel at the entrance of Lijia Daokou, and he doesn't care about it if he listens to things. Now there is a new hero, who is the head of the Tokyo Forbidden Army, what leopard head Lin Chong, is very good at martial arts. These thieves and men gathered five or seven hundred people, raided houses and houses, and robbed guests. The fishermen in the vicinity of the left did not dare to go there to fish for a long time, but now they have stopped in the moor, and we have lost our food and clothing, so it is difficult to say a word. ”

Sanniang heard about Lin Chong, and secretly thought that as soon as the senior brother came to take charge, even Sanruan didn't dare to enter Liangshan to fish, but it was just that the fishermen's food, clothing, and jobs were ruined, which hurt the heavens and the peace.

Wu Yong said: "Xiaosheng really doesn't know about this matter, why don't the lawsuit come to arrest them?" Ruan Xiaowu said: "Now that lawsuit moves everywhere, it will harm the people; But when he came down to the countryside, he first ate all the pigs, sheep, chickens, and geese raised by the good people, and then he had to be pestered and sent away. Now it's good to teach this group of people! The person who caught the robbery lawsuit, there dared to go down to the countryside! If the boss and officials sent them to arrest people, they were so frightened that they were all dying, how dare they look at him squarely! Ruan Xiaoer said: "Although I don't shoot big fish, I also save a few department differences." ”

Wu Yong said: "When the ground is gone, those guys are happy!" Ruan Xiaowu said: "They are not afraid of the sky, the earth, or lawsuits, they divide gold and silver on scales, wear silk brocade in strange ways, eat wine in urns, and eat meat in large pieces, how can they not be happy?" How can we learn from the three of us brothers, who have all the skills? ”

Wu Yong glanced at Sanniang when he heard this, and both of them secretly rejoiced: "It's time to use the plan." Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Life is a life, grass is born in autumn, we just have to fish for a living, and learn them to live a day!" ”

Sanniang put down the wine bowl and said, "What do these people learn from him?" What he did was to leave all his tiger power behind, and he would only oppress the good people and fishermen, not a hero. If you are caught in a lawsuit, you are also a self-committed sin. ”

Ruan Xiaoer said: "Although the officials are reasonable, but now the lawsuit is not very clear, and they are confused, and those who have committed the great crime of the world are fine!" My brethren cannot be happy, but if any of them are willing to take us, let them go. Ruan Xiaowu said: "I often think about it like this, the skills of my three brothers are not inferior to others!" Who knows us? ”

Wu Yong continued: "If there is someone who knows you, how can you go!" Ruan Xiaoqi said: "If you know us, go in the water, go in the fire." If you can use it for a day, you will die and open your eyebrows. Wu Yong secretly rejoiced: "These three are all interested, and I will slowly tempt him." ”

Sanniang said again: "Do you three dare to go to Liangshan to catch this gang of thieves?" Ruan Xiaoqi said: "I caught them, where to ask for a reward?" The gang of people in the government must have swallowed the hanging red, and if they want to theorize, they are afraid that he will do it in the name of a thief, and they will also eat the jokes of the heroes on the rivers and lakes! ”

Wu Yong asked again: "Xiaosheng is short-sighted, if you resent that you can't fish, wouldn't it be good to go there to hit the chips?" Ruan Xiaoer said: "Sir, you don't know, my brothers have discussed several times to join the gang, and I heard that Wang Lun's subordinates in white said that he was narrow-minded and unsafe. The Tokyo forest rushed up the mountain the previous time and exhausted his anger. Wang Lun refused to mess with people, so my brothers were lazy when they saw this. ”

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "If they are as generous as the officials, they should love my brothers!" Ruan Xiaowu said: "If Wang Lun has such a relationship as the two of them, we have also been gone for a long time, not today!" Three of my brothers, I am willing to die for him! ”

Sanniang and Wu Yong glanced at each other, nodded secretly, and Sanniang smiled: "When I come to visit today, I have a wealth to share with the three of us." The three of them were all overjoyed, and they all said: "Since the officials have a good deal, it doesn't hurt to say it." Wu Yong said: "This matter is very important, and this is not the place to speak." ”

Ruan Xiaoer said: "It's too late to see the sky, please come to my house to discuss." Sanniang smiled: "That's right." At that moment, Sanniang called the store to repay the wine money, took out two taels of silver, and paid it to Ruan Xiaoqi, so she asked the host to sell two urns of wine, borrowed a big urn to hold it, and bought thirty catties of raw and cooked beef and three pairs of big chickens. Sanniang said: "Bring these drinks and food back, arrange for the second brother's family to eat, and a few of us will eat at home and talk." "All three are big joys.

The five of them left the hotel, got off the boat again, put all the wine and meat in the cabin, untied the cable, rowed away, and went all the way to Ruan Xiaoer's house. When they got to the door, they went ashore, and they put the boat still on the stake, and took the wine and meat, and all five of them went to the back and sat down on the ground, and when the sky was dark, they called for the lamps to be lit.

It turned out that there were three brothers in the Ruan family, only Ruan Xiaoer had the old and young, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi had never married, and all four of them sat down on the water pavilion behind Ruan Xiaoer's house. Ruan Xiaoer slaughtered the chicken, asked her sister-in-law to invite the old lady, and the little monkey that the two of them were discussing with was arranged in the kitchen. About one time later, the wine and meat were brought and placed on the table.

Wu Yongdao: "Only here is Chao Baozheng in Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, have you ever recognized him?" Ruan Xiaowu said: "Isn't it called Chao Gai of the Tota Heavenly King?" Wu Yong said: "It's this person." Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Although we are only separated by a hundred and ten miles, our fate is shallow, and we have never met. Sanniang smiled: "How can such a good man who fights righteousness and squander money not meet him!" Ruan Xiaoer said, "My brothers have nothing to do and have never been there, so we can't meet him." ”

Sanniang blinked and said: "My husband and I have been walking around Chao Baozheng Zhuang recently, and I have inquired that he has a set of wealth to be taken, and I have come to discuss with you, I will stop and take it halfway, how about it?" Ruan Xiaowu said: "Officials must be careful, but this can't be done." He is a good man who fights righteousness and squanders money, but we go to his bad way, and we must eat the jokes of the good men on the rivers and lakes. ”

Sanniang and Wu Yong glanced at each other, and Wu Yong smiled and said: "The two of me only said that your brothers are not strong-minded, and it turns out that they are really kind and righteous." I say to you the truth, if you are helpful, I will teach you this. Hu Guanren and Xiaosheng are now living in Chao Baozheng Village, Baozheng heard of your three big names, and specially taught me two to ask you to speak. ”

Ruan Xiaoer said: "My three brothers, it's really not a little fake! Chao Baozheng and Hu officials dare to have a luxurious private business, there is a heart to take us, if there is such a thing, if the three of us are reluctant to help him with their lives, the remnant of the wine for the oath: teach us all to suffer, evil disease, death! Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi patted their necks and said: "This kind of blood, as long as you sell it and know the goods!" ”

Sanniang and Wu Yong both shouted when they heard it, and Sanniang said with a straight face: "You three brothers are here, it's not my bad intentions to lure you, this matter is not trivial!" Taishi Cai was born on June 15, and his son-in-law was Liang Zhongshu, the famous mansion in Beijing, who celebrated his birthday with his father-in-law. Now I want to invite you to discuss, gather a few heroes, go to a secluded place in the mountain recess, take this set of rich and ill-gotten gains, and everyone wants to live happily for a lifetime. Therefore, Mr. and I asked the three of you to think about it, and I don't know what you think? ”

Ruan Xiaowu listened and said, "Let's go! Cease! He shouted, "Brother Seven, what am I talking to you about?" Ruan Xiaoqi jumped up and said: "The hope of a lifetime, I have returned my wish today!" It's tickling my itch! When are we going? Wu Yong continued: "Please come even if the three of you go, and from tomorrow there will be a fifth watch, and they will all go to Chao Tianwangzhuang." "The three brothers of the Ruan family are overjoyed.

After a night of night, I got up early the next morning, had breakfast, Hu Sanniang took out fifty taels of silver and said to Ruan's Sanxiong: "And use this fee to settle the family, and the little fifth brother will go to redeem the old mother's hairpin, don't gamble anymore." "San Ruan is willing to accept it. Wu Yong said: "The will of friends cannot be hindered. Sanruan Fang was happy to accept the silver taels, and they all thought that this Hu official was ten percent of the righteous and wealthy heroes, and paid the family, followed Hu Sanniang and Wu Xuexue, and the five of them left Shijie Village, dragged their footsteps, and took the road to Dongxi Village.
