Chapter 3 disguised as a merchant entered Jeju and won the victory in vain

However, it was said that Chao Gai had received three Liu Tang, Du Qian, and Song Wan, and twenty capable minions, pretending to be merchants selling fruits, and pushed twenty carts of fruits, all of which were new peaches, apricots, plums, plums, loquats, mountain dates, persimmons, chestnuts, and the like. The group descended the mountain, walked for several days, and arrived at Jeju as early as possible.

Along the way, all towns, villages and squares have posted pictures of Chao Gai, Hu Sanniang, Gongsun Sheng, Wu Yong and others, and there are patrols everywhere for the public. Finally, Du Qian and Song Wan were two old in the rivers and lakes, and they covered up well, so they covered Chao Gai and Liu Tang in the past.

When they arrived at the gate of Jeju Mansion, Du Qian and Song Wan stepped forward to deal with it, and only after making the money a little bit can they enter the city. After entering the city, a group of people also found the largest inn in the city to vote.

When they arrived outside the store, Du Qian and Song Wan went to arrange for 20 little minions to park the fruit cart, and Liu Tang and Chao Gai came to the store first.

Liu Tang was anxious, and just when he entered the store, he opened his throat and shouted: "Shop, I want two front rooms, and there are still twenty companions to live in the store, hurry up and lay it out!" Chao Gai stood still behind Liu Tang, and a pair of eyes swept across the customers in the store, and the momentum was still mighty.

Sanniang saw two at the entrance of the building, and immediately frowned, why did Chao Gai and Liu Tang come to Jeju Mansion? Could it be that he is also here to rescue Bai Sheng? There was no such stubble in the original book. But when I saw the two of them, I couldn't help laughing.

It turned out that although the two were dressed as vendors, the momentum was not as good as that of the past merchants, and Liu Tang was even more, with a big piece of dog skin plaster on his face, covering the cinnabar mark on his face, and shouting with horizontal eyebrows and eyes, which scared the guests a lot.

At this time, Du Qian and Song Wan rushed into the store and said a few words in the round, before teaching the guests to settle down, and the two invited Chao Gai and Liu Tang to sit at the guest table in the hall to eat tea, and the two went to talk to the store. Sanniang looked at him coldly, and didn't want to recognize him, so she went back to the small building.

When they were young, Du Qian and Song Wan asked the shopkeepers to arrange the houses, and everyone settled down, so Chao Gai asked Liu Tang, Du Qian, and Song Wan to come downstairs, choose a Qi Chu Pavilion to sit down and eat some wine and meat first, and discuss how to act while eating.

Liu Tang ate a few cups and got up to clean his hands, turned to the corridor to clean his hands and came back, but he might as well be pulled by a person at a corner. Liu Tang was shocked, and when he was about to struggle, he heard a familiar voice say: "Brother Liu Tang, it's me." ”

When Liu Tang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, this voice was from Hu Guan, but when he looked at it, he was shocked, that person was a double ten beauty, dressed in a brocade dress and skirt, with a delicate face, and grabbed him.

Liu Tang's eyes widened and exclaimed, "You, who are you?" The beautiful woman sneered and laughed: "Brother Liu Tang, don't you recognize me?" Liu Tang said dementedly: "Listening to the sound is Hu Guanren, but Hu Guanren is a man, not your little lady." ”

Sanniang laughed again, and said: "I am the Hu Lan and Hu Guanren who are like fakes, there is a reason for it, you listen to me." At that moment, Sanniang told her daughter's body, and also said that she was raised as a man since she was a child to change her bad luck, and finally said: "Brother Liu Tang, when we first met, I didn't tell you the truth, you won't blame me." ”

Liu Tang was stunned for a long time before he said: "But I don't blame the officials, I only complain that I can't distinguish between men and women." Sanniang said: "Brother Liu Tang is a straight man, and he only talks about righteousness when he befriends a good man, but he doesn't look at it as fine as others, and it's not strange if he can't see it." Brother Liu Tang, when you know that I am a woman at this time, will you dislike to associate with me? ”

Liu Tang said: "Even if you are a daughter, your martial arts and resourcefulness are stronger than me, I still admire the official, at this time, when I know that the official is a woman, you must know that all women are stronger than me, and I will only admire it more, how can I dislike it?" ”

Sanniang was a little relieved, and asked, "Brother Liu Tang, what are you doing here?" Liu Tang said: "Brother Tianwang came to rescue Brother Bai Sheng." Sanniang bowed her head and said: "If you come for this matter, Chao Gai is still angry." ”

Liu Tang said: "Official, uh, should I call Mrs. Hu now?" Sanniang smiled: "You can do whatever you want." Liu Tang also smiled: "It's better to call the officials to be smooth." At that moment, Liu Tang said: "Official, why are you here?" Sanniang said: "It is also specially for the rescue of the Bai Sheng brothers." ”

Liu Tang was overjoyed and said: "That's just right, you can wait all the way with Brother Tianwang." Sanniang said: "I have already cut off my robe and broken with Chao Gai, how can I go all the way with him again?" Liu Tang exclaimed: "Official, what is it that is so troublesome with Brother Tianwang?" Sanniang sighed: "In the future, you will know, this is not the time to speak, you are too conspicuous, sooner or later you will be seen by the eyes and hands of the public, to save Brother Bai Sheng, you must be so, so, so." You listen to my command, go and talk to Chao Gai, and if you can save people, go back to the mountain immediately. ”

At that moment, Sanniang instructed Liu Tang carefully, Liu Tang received the words and kept them in his heart, and finally Sanniang only said: "Remember, don't say that it's my idea here, otherwise Chao Gai won't listen to it, and don't mention it to him that I've seen me." Liu Tang just asked puzzledly: "Official, you are secretly helping each other, that is, there are brothers such as me in your heart, why is it so troublesome?" Sanniang said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, just listen to my orders." ”

Liu Tang persuaded him a few times, but Sanniang refused to show up, and in desperation, Liu Tang had to return to the seat. Just sat down, Liu Tang said: "Brother, I thought about it again and again, I pretended to be ordinary fruit sellers, but we lived in this good hotel, but it was too eye-catching, and I was afraid that sooner or later I would be seen by the public." ”

When Chao Gai heard this, he put down the cup and exclaimed: "It's still Brother Liu Tang carefully." Liu Tang said: "I have a lot of people, so it is better to order the rest of the people to return to the mountain first, and only leave me and the other four to act." At that moment, Chao Gai did as he said, only taught the twenty little minions to return to the mountain, and taught Du Qian and Song Wan to sell those fruits cheaply, and the four of them calculated the house money, hurriedly left the inn, and found an inconspicuous inn to re-invest in the stack.

After settling down, Liu Tang only went out to inquire about the news, and Chao Gai waited in the inn. In the evening, Liu Tang led one person back to the inn, Chao Gai was taken aback when he saw Shi Deng, the person who came was He Tao who was cut off by their group and released!

Chao Gai was shocked when he saw this person, Du Qian and Song Wan asked, Chao Gai said, the two of them were also shocked, how could Liu Tang lead an arrest envoy here? Liu Tang said with a smile: "Before the officials left the mountain, they handed over all the pain handles of He Observation to me, but at this moment, He Observation is a person on the same boat as me." ”

He Tao also stepped forward to worship and said: "The villain doesn't know the level, he offended the king of heaven and the power of the tiger before, and asked the king of heaven to forgive him." When Chao Gai heard this, he kicked his heart back into his stomach, helped He Tao up, and the five of them sat in the house to discuss.

Chao Gai said: "I came here this time, just to save my Bai Sheng brother, if I can rescue Bai Sheng brother, I will not come to disturb him in the future, and I will be rewarded with a lot of money." Is there a way to deal with this matter? He Tao has not yet answered, Liu Tang said: "Brother don't worry, I have discussed this matter with He Guan, Bai Sheng and his wife have eaten and beaten many times, and there is no one up and down, just tonight, I found two male and female corpses, and their faces were ruined, so they were transported to prison and replaced Bai Sheng and his wife." He observed there, only did two tortures, and died in prison. ”

Chao Gai frowned when he heard this: "Stealing other people's bodies is a great crime. He Tao said at this time: "The king of heaven does not need to worry, there are often nameless corpses stored in the temple near the left, and when no one claims them, the corpses are turned into corpses in the temple and buried hastily." I waited to find two nameless corpses to replace, after the replacement out, the villain will make some money, teach people to bury well, it is better than in the temple unclaimed and burned, if these two springs have knowledge, but also thank me and so on. ”

Chao Gai said: "Since this is the case, I will do this, but I am afraid that I will not be able to hide it from the prison boss, prison and others." He Tao said: "There is no need to worry about the king of heaven in this festival, I am familiar with how to deal with a person who dies in prison." Up and down the cell heads, large and small prisons, autopsies, pushing officials and detaining the judges, and other villains will deal with it. ”

Chao Gai was overjoyed and said: "Everything depends on how to observe, but I was injured and observed the body before, and my heart was uneasy. He Tao said: "It's okay, if you don't lose two ears, you can't cover up the previous damage." Then they all agreed upon it, and after they had eaten their fill, they went their own way.

He Tao, Du Qian, and Song Wan went to the temple near the left to take the bodies, and Chao Gai and Liu Tang hid in the left side of the Jeju Mansion Prison, waiting to pick up Bai Sheng and his wife. After a short time, He Tao took Du Qian and Song Wan to take the corpses back, He Tao took two sets of official uniforms and taught two to change, moved the corpses, and entered through the water gate of the prison car, which was only used to carry feces.

When the three arrived in the prison, the cell boss who had already said that He Tao had come to answer, Bai Sheng and his wife were repeat offenders, so they were held alone. The cell boss led three into the prison, replaced Bai Sheng and his wife, broke the head of the corpse, changed the clothes of the husband and wife with the corpse, and the husband and wife took two sets of small prison clothes and wore them.

Bai Sheng and his wife had only been involved in a lawsuit for 14 lives and birthdays, thinking that they would die, and they were just mourning and waiting for death all day long, but they didn't want anyone to save them tonight, both of them cried with joy, and even asked which hero rescued them. Du Qian said in a low voice: "Brother Chao Gai came to the rescue, this is not the place to speak, and go out first and then talk." Bai Sheng and his wife thanked each other again and again and obeyed the instructions. Du Qian and Song Wan carried one on their backs, and they went out of the prison and gathered with Chao Gai, He Tao only cooked the beginning and the end, and then sent it not far away.

After the six gathered outside the prison, they were all overjoyed, and after a busy night, when the sky was getting brighter, and the six hurried out of the city. After leaving the city, Liu Tang said: "Brother, don't go straight back, look to the south and make a detour before you can get there." ”

Chao Gaiqi said: "But why? Liu Tang said: "Although He Tao has been restrained by some means by the officials, after all, he has been in the public for many years. ”

Chao Gai frowned and said, "Brother Liu Tang, you don't look at you so carefully, but who taught you these strategies?" If it is a brother's, do not deceive! Liu Tang snorted, and Chao Gai said angrily: "When you are still a brother, you only tell the truth!" Liu Tangcai said: "It's the order of the officials." ”

Chao Gai was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where did you meet?" Liu Tang said: "In Jeju Mansion, the plan to save people was set by Hu Guanren, and He Tao was also detained by Hu Guanren. The official has He Tao's oath and confession, and there is still a unique antidote, so He Tao obeys orders. It's just that the officials told me not to believe in He Tao, once the rescued people come out, they will go south first, and make a detour back to the cottage. If He Tao repeats it, it will be very dangerous to ambush soldiers and horses on the way to us and arrest him. ”

Chao Gai was silent for a moment when he heard this: "She and I have cut off my robe and broken righteousness, that is, she is absolutely righteous first, how can a dignified seven-foot man listen to a woman's words?" If you want to take the north road, all the way back to Liangshan! At the moment, he didn't listen to Liu Tang's hard advice, and led Du Qian, Song Wan, and Bai Sheng to go to the north road, and Liu Tang had no choice but to follow.

When he couldn't travel more than three miles, five or seven hundred people were snatched out of the forest on the left and right, and the two leaders shouted: "Thief Kou Chaogai, don't you get bound quickly?!" Chao Gai was shocked when he saw it: "I don't want He Tao's guy to really repeat!" ”
