Chapter 18 On the Birth Outline

After the village Baozheng handed over the land deed, the next day, the wolf-like officials began to check the fields of the villages, and several village farmers and men clashed with the officials because of the protection of the land, and all the local soldiers in the county were dispatched to arrest hundreds of troublemakers, so as to deter the people of the villages.

Because Chao Gai did not intend to resist in Dongxi Village, the progress of Kutian was very fast, and peace was soon restored in the village, but the owner of the land changed, and the villagers still lived a life of making and resting.

The head of the village, Chao Gai, did not close his door because of the lack of land, so there were men from the rivers and lakes who came to defect every once in a while.

When the sun was about to set, three fast horses appeared at the entrance of the village, and only stopped in front of Chaogaizhuang.

Take a closer look, but it was the young owner Chao Yong who took Zhuang Ding Chao San and a strange man.

When the doorman heard the sound of horses' hooves, he had already come out to check, and when he saw that the young owner was back, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Chao Yong handed the horse to Chao San and asked, "Is my father here?" ”

"The owner and a few guests are drinking in the back garden."

When Chao Yong heard this, he also guessed which people it was, and came to the back garden with Shi Qian, and sure enough, he saw Chao Gai and the three of them drinking under the grape trellis, one of them Wu Yong Wu Xue was known by Chao Yong, and the other two were also easy to recognize, one was dressed in a Taoist robe, the other was red-haired, and a piece of cinnabar was recorded between the temples, which was obviously the Yunyun Dragon Gongsun Sheng and the red-haired ghost Liu Tang.

Chao Gai saw Chao Yong coming back with a lean man, got up and said, "Yong'er is back, I don't know who this hero is?" ”

Shi Qian saw Chao Gai get up, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Gao Tang Prefecture Shi Qian, I have seen Chao Tianwang." ”

Chao Yong added: "Shi Qian is good at flying eaves and walking on the wall, and is known as the flea on the drum, which was met by the child in Qizhou. ”

Chao Gai heard that he was good at flying the eaves and walking on the wall, and suddenly frowned, hugged his fists and said "long Yang", and said to Chao Yong: "Come here and see the three uncles." Professor Wu, you know, this is Sun Sheng, the dragon prince of Zhuyun, and this is the red-haired ghost Liu Tang. ”

Chao Yong's most reluctant is this, and the heroes Chao Gai has befriended are all a generation older than him. Liu Tang is only twenty-four or five, and he wants to be commensurate with a brother in his heart, but unfortunately his father got acquainted with Liu Tang first. Fortunately, he and Ruan's Sanxiong and Lin Chong are all called brothers, and they can also find an opportunity to change their titles when they go to Liangshan, otherwise they will be uncles all over the mountain.

Chao Yong stepped forward and said, "My nephew Chao Yong has seen three uncles. ”

"I haven't seen him for a few months, and Brother Yong has broken into the name of a little overlord. Xiaosheng stayed in the countryside and heard the reputation of the little overlord. Wu Yong and Chao Yong knew each other and joked.

"Mr. said with a smile, Chao Yong is just a newcomer."

Wu Yong shook his fan, stared at Chao Yong and said: "Brother Yong'er scatters profits but is a good trick, and he will win a great name without spending a penny, so he can borrow flowers to offer Buddha." ”

Gongsun Sheng also looked at Chao Yong curiously, shook his head and said, "It's easier said than done." That Jiang Menshen won the first place for two consecutive years, and obviously there are some means, and there are not many people who can beat him in sumo. is so much money and things, who can take nothing like Brother Yong'er? ”

Chao Yong also looked curiously at Gongsun Sheng, who was said to be able to call the wind and rain in this Water Margin, and said, "It's just something outside the body, it's not worth mentioning." However, the little nephew is on the rivers and lakes, and I have heard many people say that the Taoist can call the wind and rain, and drive the clouds and fog, I don't know when the little nephew will be able to open his eyes. ”

Gongsun Sheng "haha" smiled: "How can there be such a thing as calling for wind and rain in this world, the poor way is just a good knowledge of the sky, can speculate some weather changes, plus some alchemy, and occasionally fool some corrupt officials and bad gentry." If there are no clouds, who dares to call for rain. ”

When Chao Yong heard this, he also put his mind at ease.

If there are really those demons in the world who scatter beans into soldiers, then no matter how perverted his body is, he can't withstand other people's witchcraft, and he doesn't have to bother to think about it, go to the mountains to learn some Taoism, and then destroy the gold soldiers is a matter of blowing a few breaths.

However, in ancient times when there were no scientific instruments to observe weather changes, Gongsun Sheng's ability was also very good, and there were many uses for marching and fighting.

Wu Yong said: "Xiaosheng still has one more thing that needs to be solved by Brother Yong. ”

"Mr. is full of economy and resourcefulness, how can Chao Yong solve his doubts?"

"Xiaosheng is just a showman, how dare he say that he is full of economy. When I went to Shijie Village before, I heard the Nguyen Thiong say that you said that after three months, the Nguyen Thiong would not be oppressed by the imperial court, but I don't know what it means? ”

Wu Yong has also been in Dongxi Village for several years, and he is naturally very familiar with Chao Yong. If it had been before, Chao Yong would definitely ask something directly, and he would definitely not be so modest.

It was said that the meteor fell, and there was a fire on Chao Gaizhuang, and he also came to visit.

Later, when he heard that Chao Yong had changed a lot since the fire, he thought he was just frightened at first, but now he realized that he was not. It's just that what is the reason why the originally reckless Chao Yong has changed so much, Wu Yong, who is known as Zhiduoxing, is also a little unable to see through, and he doesn't believe the reincarnation of Xingjun.

Chao Yong also thought about pretending to be the reincarnation of Xingjun to win people's hearts, but he didn't have any special functions, and the plot in the Water Margin was afraid that it would be unreliable, and it would make people suspicious when he said it, so it was better to take a step back and remain mysterious, let them contact the meteor and speculate, and said with a smile: "The kid is to see that the three heroes of the Ruan family are strong in martial arts, and their surnames are straight." The public field office cut off their jobs, and they must not be able to endure it for three months, and they have to be a rival with the imperial court. ”

Wu Yong looked at Chao Yong suspiciously, which barely made sense, and nodded: "I see." ”

Chao Gai interjected: "I'll just say it, if it weren't for the sudden peasant uprising in Hebei, Shengchengang would not have gone to Jingdong." How could he know about the birth of the Gang. The gentleman was overwhelmed. ”

Chao Yong saw Chao Gai talking, and pretended to be surprised and said: "I came back all the way, and it was all the official mission to search and arrest, could it be that the matter of Shengchengang was done by my father?" ”

Seeing Chao Gai looking at Shi Qian, he said: "He is my confidant brother, but my father said that it might as well." ”

When I heard this, I felt that I was with the right person.

Chao Gai smiled a little smugly: "Thanks to the pedantic tricks, we easily robbed the Birth Gang. ”

Chao Yong naturally knew that they would not be easy soon, and hurriedly said, "Dad is also gone?" ”

Chao Gai didn't feel anything wrong yet, and said with a smile: "Well, this matter was done by my father and your three uncles and the Ruan Sanxiong who made friends with you." ”

When Chao Yong saw Chao Gai admitting it, his face was even more panicked, and he shouted: "It's not good, my father is righteous and squandering money, this is a hundred miles away, which village has no idle man to visit the village." Daddy couldn't remember them, but they all knew Daddy. I'm afraid that someone has already recognized Daddy on the road, but Daddy doesn't know, and in a few days, the court will inevitably find Zhuang. ”

Chao Gai heard Chao Yong's words, and couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly looked at Zhiduoxing Wu Yong.

Wu Yong also thought that there was no flaw in what he had done, and when he heard Chao Yong's words, he felt a little unsteady in his heart. The fan in his hand also stopped, and said: "I also know that there are many people who know Baozheng from far and near, and I have tried my best to avoid Baozheng showing up all the way, but now I think about it, it is inevitable that there will be some negligence." If someone really recognizes Bao Zhenglai, Bao Buqi will report it for the government's reward, but it is careless. ”

Gongsun Sheng and Liu Tang couldn't sit still at this time.

Chao Yong saw that several people were also panicked, and said: "It may not be that someone really recognizes my father, Mr. Tell me how you robbed the birth gang, let me see if there are any flaws?" ”

At that moment, Wu Yong put Liu Tang to vote, he invited Ruan's three heroes, and then Gongsun Sheng came to the door, and they sang with Bai Sheng in Huangnigang and turned Yang Zhi and his group with wine and hemp, and took the matter of the birth gang, and talked to Chao Yong in detail.

This section of the Water Margin is called Outwitting the Birth Gang, which was a text in later generations, and Chao Yong is naturally familiar with it, and he has thought about it many times.

Chao Yong pretended to listen carefully, thought about it, frowned, and said: "There is another flaw in this matter, that is, Bai Sheng's place, and now it has been spread everywhere, and it is said that Yang Zhi and they were turned over by the wine sellers. Anle Village, where Bai Sheng lives, is close to Huangnigang, and the official must go to him to investigate, how can no one see him when he goes out of the village with wine. You are robbing Cai Jing's birthday gang again, and the officials in the state will inevitably be pressed, as long as there is some suspicion, the officials will definitely arrest people. I'm afraid Bai Sheng is already in prison at this time. ”

When Liu Tang heard this, he shouted: "At the beginning, I said that I would kill those soldiers and men, but I just kept the integrity and didn't let me start, but now there are so many things." ”

Chao Gai also regretted and said: "Those soldiers are just sent by others, and they haven't done anything evil, I see that we have already obtained the Birth Gang, so I don't need to break their surnames anymore, I didn't expect to leave these flaws." ”

Li Lingzhi was dizzy, Wu Yong was also fascinated by the many gold, silver and jewelry at that time, but he didn't expect this to be many, so he relied on Chao Gai, and when he saw that no one came to arrest him, he felt even more proud. At this time, listening to Chao Yong's analysis, he also knew that this matter was broken.

"In my opinion, Dad sent someone to Anle Village overnight to quietly check whether Bai Sheng had been arrested, and if he was arrested, we would have to prepare as soon as possible. If Bai Sheng was caught, I was afraid that the official sent an ambush at his house, and my father sent two people to go together, one into the village, and the other outside the village to wait, if he didn't come out after the time, most of them would also be arrested, and the people outside the village would immediately come back to report the news. ”

Wu Yong saw that Chao Yong was so thoughtful, and sighed: "Brother Yong is the real Zhiduoxing, thoughtful." Xiaosheng is ashamed. ”

Seeing that Wu Yong also agreed with Chao Yong's arrangement, Chao Gai immediately called two henchmen and carefully ordered them to ride a horse to Anle Village overnight to investigate.

Chao Yong also saw the Water Margin, only to know these two flaws, and did not dare to underestimate Wu Yong's wisdom because of this, in front of the golden mountains and silver seas, few people can think about it thoroughly. However, for the sake of his plan, he deliberately avoided the time of robbing the Shengchengang, precisely to let Chao Gai go up the mountain and raise the banner of the Heavenly Path, and at the same time avoid the opportunity for Song Jiang to show grace.
