However, it was said that Hu Sanniang and Gongsun Sheng came from Wangjing Jingxi Road together, and took a boat from Weishui, Huazhou to the Yellow River waterway, and abandoned the boat and landed after passing Bianjing in a day, looking at Yuncheng County, Jeju. Xiaoxing stayed overnight, the road was difficult, and after traveling for more than a month, he had arrived in the county.

After entering the county seat, the two invested in an inn and settled down, and then came to the street, found a hotel to sit down, called the four corners of wine, three or five catties of mutton and vegetables and fruits according to the wine, and ate first. After three rounds of drinking, Sanniang said: "When you get here, you don't know the distance of Shuibo Liangshan, so you can inquire first." Gongsun Sheng said: "You must ask carefully, and Mojiao is suspicious." Sanniang said: "I can save it." ”

At that moment, Sanniang called the store, and the store asked, "Do you want some wine and meat?" Sanniang said: "Then I will have two more corners of wine." By the way, I'm new to your place, so there are some vicious places near you that you can't go? ”

The shopkeeper said: "You are still careful as a guest, and you will ask first when you visit the land, if you don't ask, you will crash into the strongman's nest and lose your life in vain." Sanniang said: "What kind of strongman, so powerful?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "We have a water town under the management of Jeju, the place name is Yangsanbo, with a radius of more than 800 miles, and in the middle is Wanzicheng and Tatewa. Now there are three strong men, and they are entrenched there. For the head, he is called Wang Lun, a white-clothed showman, the second is called to touch the sky Du Qian, and the third is called to be King Kong Song Wan in the clouds. Those three strongmen, gathered seven or eight hundred small minions, robbed houses, resisted enemy officers and soldiers, and kidnapped passing guests, and the government forbade him. I heard that another strongman has been added to the mountain recently, who was originally the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in Beijing, and his martial arts are even better, and he does not dare to underestimate him in the left near state and county. When the guests want to play, the Shuibo Liangshan is never to go. ”

Sanniang said: "I don't know where Shui Bo Liangshan is, ask first to understand, and then don't go there." "At that moment, the shopkeeper told where Shuibo Liangshan was. As he was talking, he saw a group of military horses passing in front of the store, leading twenty native soldiers, who were seven feet five inches long, with purple begonia skin, and a fan-ring beard, and were very majestic.

Sanniang and Gongsun Sheng met the man, and Gongsun Sheng asked the shopkeeper, "Who is this Dutou?" The shopkeeper said: "This head is the head of the county's infantry, the head of the thunder, the head of the thunder, the head of the thunder." There are two heads under the county lieutenant, one is called the head of the infantry and the other is called the head of the horseman. And the horsemen were all at the head, and they were in charge of twenty horsemen and archers, and twenty native soldiers. The foot soldiers were in charge of twenty spear chiefs and twenty native soldiers. The infantryman's surname is Lei Mingheng, and he is very strong, jumping two or three feet wide, and the people of the whole county call him a winged tiger. There is also a horse soldier surnamed Zhu Mingtong, eight feet four or five long, with a tiger beard, one foot five inches long, the face is like a heavy jujube, the eyes are like a star, like Guan Yun's appearance, the people of the county call him a beautiful bearded man. ”

Sanniang bowed slightly: "It turns out that these two heroes are also famous in the rivers and lakes." Gongsun Sheng also said: "He has also heard of the two famous poor roads, but there is still a more famous man in Yuncheng County, I don't know if the officials have heard of it?" Sanniang said with a smile: "Sir, don't you say that Shandong Hubaoyi, timely rain Song Jiang?" Gongsun Sheng said: "This is exactly the person." Sanniang said: "It is indeed chivalrous to be trapped by the rain in time, but what kind of person it is must be seen." Gongsun Sheng smiled slightly and said, "That's what Poor Dao means. ”

Gongsun Sheng said again: "In addition to Song Jiang, I heard that there is another famous hero. Sanniang smiled: "Sir, this is exquisite, I am here, and there is a good man who can be said to be the Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai Chao Baozheng of Dongxi Village?" Gongsun Sheng smiled: "It's this person." ”

Sanniang pondered: "Looking at the day, it is time to rob the birth gang, there is nothing left and right, it is better to participate in it, take some money, and get to know Chao Gai and others, etc., it is also good." At that moment, Sanniang said: "In this case, it is still early to see that it is dark, so it is better to go to Dongxi Village for a walk, and it is good to make friends with that Chao Baozheng." Gongsun Sheng smiled: "Exactly, I have long wanted to meet you." After discussing for a while, the two planned to go to Dongxi Village, asked the store for directions, and after the two had a meal of wine and meat, they returned the wine money and returned to the store to pick up their luggage and resume.

Out of the city to the east for a twenty miles, the sky darkened, the two of them walked with torches, and arrived in front of the Lingguan Temple in Dongxi Village, Sanniang saw that the door of the temple was open, and said with a smile: "Sir, it is better to go to the temple to rest for a while before leaving." Gongsun Sheng said: "It's okay, it's not appropriate to enter the temple and not go in to worship." And they went into the temple.

When she arrived at the temple, Sanniang took the fire and came in first, only to see a big man sleeping naked on the offering table. Heaven was hot again, and the man made some tattered clothes into a pillow, pillowed it under his head, and snored like thunder and fell asleep on the offering table. Gongsun Sheng saw it, frowned slightly, stepped forward to block Sanniang's gaze, and said: "I don't know where the stupid man came from, sleeping here, to the point of polluting the eyes of the officials." ”

Sanniang sneered and laughed: "When I was in the Northwest Army, I saw more of these naked men. Gongsun Sheng was dumbfounded and speechless.

When the two of them were talking, they woke up the big man early, only to see him sit up, revealing a body of black flesh under the firelight, two black hairy legs tied up underneath, a pair of bare feet, a purple and black broad face, a cinnabar mark on the sideburns, a piece of black and yellow hair on it, and his face was extremely vicious. When the big man saw the two of them, he shouted, "Who are you two bird men and women?" Dare to disturb my sleep? ”

Gongsun Sheng sneered: "You are sleeping here naked, you speak rudely, and you are not a good person when you look at it!" The big man got up and put on his clothes and pants, glared at him and said angrily: "Grandpa is sleeping here, what are you doing?" ”

Seeing that the two were about to argue, Sanniang smiled and said: "The two of us are about to go to see Chao Baozheng, and there is a wealth to talk about with him, who are you?" The big man widened his eyes and said, "Do you two recognize Chao Baozheng?" Gongsun Sheng was about to speak, but Sanniang held it down and said, "Naturally I know, how are you doing?" ”

The big man said: "What do you two have to say and be honest? Sanniang smiled: "Why do you want to talk to you?" You have a name. The big man said: "My surname is Liu, my name is Tang, and my ancestor is from Luzhou, because there is a mark of this tower cinnabar on the sideburns, people call me to be a red-haired ghost, and I specially sent a set of wealth to Brother Baozheng, and you two sent a lot of wealth and wealth?" ”

Sanniang laughed to herself: "Sure enough, it's the red-haired ghost Liu Tang." At that moment, Zhengse said: "Do you know my two names?" Then Liu Tang said: "I don't know." Sanniang said: "I am Jizhou Yizhang Qinghu Lan, this is Jizhou Zhuyun Dragon Gongsun Shengdao Chief." ”

That Liu Tang heard a snort, and bowed his head and said, "Shu Mo is a righteous man in the northwest of the Mighty Earthquake?" Sanniang nodded, smiled and helped Liu Tang up, Liu Tang looked at Gongsun Sheng again and said, "Mr. Daming has also heard of it for a long time." When the three of them had seen the salute, they sat down on the floor in the temple.

After sitting down, Sanniang said: "Brother Liu Tang is here for the 100,000 gold jewels?" Liu Tang exclaimed: "Hu Yishi is really well-informed, the famous mansion Liang Zhongshu prepared 100,000 gold jewelry shells, made a birthday gang, sooner or later he will be sent to Tokyo to celebrate his birthday with his father-in-law Cai Jing, I want to report this news to Bao Zheng to know, rob his birthday gang, sooner or later get a fortune." I don't want the righteous and the Taoist to know the news. ”

Gongsun Sheng's eyes widened, the two of them had been on the road, when did they know the news? I feel more and more that Hu Sanniang, a woman, is unpredictable, but she is not broken. Sanniang said with a smile: "I also robbed this birthday gang four years ago, so I naturally know the situation inside." ”

Liu Tang and Gongsun Sheng were both taken aback, Liu Tang said: "Four years ago, it was originally the hand of Hu Yishi, and this big case is still not understood by the government, it turned out to be the hand of Hu Yishi, no wonder, no wonder." ”

Sanniang said with a smile: "Brother Liu Tang, don't call Hu Yishi, I would rather hear someone call Hu Guanren." Liu Tang responded, and Sanniang said: "Since they are all here for this birthday, it is better to go to Baozheng Village together and seek wealth together." Liu Tang was overjoyed and said: "That's exactly what I mean." ”

Gongsun Sheng frowned slightly, and whispered to Sanniang: "You and I don't know Chao Gai, you say this, if Chao Gai doesn't accept it, won't it hurt your face?" Sanniang smiled: "If Chao Gai doesn't have the guts, he won't be worthy of the two of me to make friends." Gongsun Sheng also felt justified when he heard this.

Sanniang saw that Liu Tang's clothes were shabby, so she took a set of older men's clothes from the baggage and said to him: "Brother Liu Tang, I have a new set of clothes, shoes and socks here, you wear them, go to see Baozheng together, if you don't dress properly, I'm afraid you will underestimate him." Liu Tang was overjoyed, took it and thanked him: "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful." At that moment, Liu Tang changed into that set of men's clothes, and saw a blue turban wrapped around his head, wearing a black and green Luo jacket, with knee pads wrapped around his legs, and eight pairs of bast shoes.

Sanniang said: "The hour is not early, it is good to go to his village overnight, and I am afraid of meeting the officers and soldiers who patrol the night for a long time." Before the words fell, I heard a noisy sound outside the hall, and the doors and windows of the temple were filled with firelight, and many people came outside.

When the three hurriedly came out of the hall, they saw more than 20 people standing on the white ground outside the hall, and the first person was the head of the Yuncheng County infantry army. It turned out that today Lei Heng received the order of Shi Wenbin, the magistrate of Yuncheng County, to teach to inspect the left and right villages, that night he led 20 native soldiers out of the east gate, around the village inspection, walked all over the field, early to the Lingguan Temple, saw that the temple door was not closed, Lei Heng said: "There is no temple in this hall, the temple door is not closed, is there no villain inside?" Let's go straight in and take a look. ”

Lei Heng's voice fell, and three people broke out of the hall, but when Lei Heng looked at it, it was two vulgar ones, the two vulgar families, one was dressed richly, and the other was dressed ordinarily, but he was not sure what the number of people he was eating for a while, and he pointed to the three and asked, "Where are the three of you?" What is it doing here? ”

Sanniang said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lei Dutou, and the three of us are all from Chao Baozheng Zhuang." Lei Heng glared and said, "Nonsense, I haven't seen the three of you in the village." Sanniang smiled: "I arrived recently." ”

Lei Heng saw that Sanniang and Gongsun Sheng had big bags of luggage, and suddenly became suspicious, and secretly thought: "These three dark nights are here, they are not clean, and they also carry a few big bags. At the moment, he shouted: "Open the baggage and see, what is inside?" ”

Liu Tang couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Look at you thief bird!" "Immediately pulled out a short stick and stepped forward to hit it.
