Chapter 32: The robbery of Zhang's mansion

Li Huaiyu dismounted and ran to the edge of the cliff to see that Hu Fenglian had come up, and Zhang Meiying had already disappeared into the dense fog. Li Huaiyu shouted anxiously: "Sister, you can't die ......" But there was no bottom under the cliff, and only the vast white fog could be seen. Li Huaiyu remembered the good times and tragic experiences she spent with Miss Zhang, and her heart was very painful, and she couldn't wait to jump down with her. The more Li Huaiyu thought about it, the more sad he became, he fell to the ground with a "poof", and instantly cried tears like rain: "Sister, you can't leave me, I can't live without you." I've had a great time every day since I met you. If it weren't for you, I, Li Huaiyu, would have died on the court long ago. Woohoo......"

Hu Fenglian saw the white-faced scholar crying bitterly, she glanced at the bottom of the cliff, knelt down and beat the sand and stones, and said: "Alas, it's all my fault, if it weren't for saving me, she wouldn't have fallen at all!" ”

Li Huaiyu said in a trembling voice: "Zhang Meiying, didn't you say that you like me?" I sue you, and I love you too. If you live, I will marry you. He laughed maniacally: "Haha...... Anyway, since you and I can't be husband and wife in the yang world, let's go to the underworld to be a ghost couple! As he spoke, he threw himself into the desire to jump off the cliff.

Hu Fenglian didn't see it well, grabbed Li Huaiyu's left shoulder, pressed him to the ground, and said: "Gongzi Festival mourns, I believe that Jiren has his own natural appearance, and Mrs. Zun will be fine!" ”

Li Huaiyu was so anxious that he cried out loud, howling heartbreakingly. Hu Fenglian's intestines were all repentant, and two lines of sad tears flowed.

Just when the two of them were in great grief and despair, they suddenly heard a shout from under the cliff: "Up! I saw Zhang Meiying flying up from under the cliff.

Li Huaiyu and Hu Fenglian were stunned, they couldn't believe their eyes. When I looked at it, it was really Zhang Meiying who jumped up from under the cliff.

Li Huaiyu was happy, and he didn't care about it, ran over, hugged Zhang Meiying, and cried: "Thank you for not leaving me, I'm so afraid of losing you." ”

Zhang Meiying was moved to tears and said, "Silly boy, I haven't married you yet, how can I die?" ”

Li Huaiyu asked embarrassedly: "Did you hear everything I just said?" ”

Zhang Meiying said: "You shouted so loudly, I'm not deaf?" ”

It turned out that when Zhang Meiying fell down the cliff, she kept cutting the stone wall with the tip of a knife, slowing down the falling speed, and when she reached the bottom of the cliff, she hurriedly recited a spell, and a colorful auspicious cloud was born on the bottom of her foot, which stopped in mid-air. She patted her chest and secretly rejoiced. After resting for a while, hearing Li Huaiyu speak, she pointed to the sky and quickly flew upward.

Hu Fenglian hugged her fists and said: "Down there is the banshee Hu Fenglian who pierces the mountain, dare to ask what the two friends call them?" ”

Zhang and Li separated, and Zhang Meiying smiled: "In the next Zhang Meiying, this is my father-in-law, named Li Huaiyu." ”

Hu Fenglian said: "Fortunately, I will be lucky!" If you don't dislike it, go to the cottage with me! ”

Zhang Meiying lifted the big knife, hugged her fists and said: "This is very good, please lead the way in front of the girl!" ”

Several people returned to the cottage, and Hu Fenglian introduced Zhang and Li to her father. Hu Qing greeted him warmly, ordered the soldiers to be hospitable, and several people drank and chatted in the cottage.

According to the statement of the Hu father and daughter, they were originally from Hujia Town, Licheng County, Shandong, and their ancestors were from Orion. During the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, the Hu family was framed by traitors, and was arrested by the county order on the charge of colluding with the Wagangzhai anti-army, and was pushed to the guillotine. At the time of the execution, a sudden gust of wind rose, and the Hu father and daughter were blown to Meishan, and the rest were asked to be beheaded. The Hu father and daughter woke up in a coma, only to know that they had been rescued by Chang Feihong, the old monster of Meishan, who had used the Wind Escape Technique. Chang Feihong is a stranger from the world, what is the mountain-piercing technique, the escape technique, the smoke technique, the wind technique, the flying technique, and the stealth technique are all his specialties, plus a spear in hand, he is invincible all over the world. This man has an odd temper and behaves quite differently from ordinary people. Whoever he wants to teach to learn spells, this person must learn them, or he will be killed; If he doesn't want to teach anyone, no matter how sincere this person is, he will ignore it. Therefore, the people of the rivers and lakes call him the old monster of Meishan. Chang Feihong found that Hu Fenglian was extremely talented in learning spells, so he forced and lured her, trying to get her to practice with him. Hu Fenglian said that she didn't want to learn anything at the beginning, but in the end, she couldn't fight the old monster of Meishan, so she could only obediently learn from her teacher. After eleven years of hard work, she finally learned the art of mountaining, the art of escaping, the art of escaping smoke, and the art of stealth. Among them, the mountain piercing technique and the earth escape technique were practiced by her, but the smoke escape technique and stealth technique were slightly inferior. Chang Feihong also wanted to teach Hu Fenglian to practice flying, but she couldn't learn anything, and the strange old man was so angry that he drove her father and daughter off Meishan. Since then, her father and daughter have wandered all the way north, and finally came to the boundary of Xuzhou and settled in Hujialing. Unexpectedly, officials and bandits were rampant here, and the people were struggling to make a living, Hu Fenglian showed her magic skills, stabilized nine cottages, eleven villages, stabbed more than ten corrupt officials and bullies, and subdued more than 300 minions. So far, Hu Fenglian's chivalrous fame has spread far and wide, and she is popular all over the rivers and lakes, and people give her nickname: Banshee Piercing the Mountain.

Lu Tiande, the assassin of Xuzhou, led his troops to the outside of the city, wanting to pursue Li Huaiyu, but was blocked by a strong man.

Don't drive Lu Qing immediately asked angrily: "Who ate the heart of a bear and dared to stop Master Shi's army?" ”

The man knelt down and said, "My lord, the grass people's name is Zhao Jinhu, and they have something to report." ”

Don't drive: "There is a quick talk." ”

Zhao Jinhu clasped his fists and said, "The grass people know who the female thief who robbed the law field is. ”

Lu Tiande opened the curtain of the carriage and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Zhao Jinhu said: "It is Zhang Meiying, the daughter of Zhang Zhong of Zhangjiazhuang in the east of the city. Don't rush to hunt down the fugitives now, it's best to take this opportunity to confiscate Zhang's property. ”

Lu Tiande thought to himself: "As long as the official gets the property of the Zhang family, and then bribes the officials of the DPRK and China, why worry about the high-ranking officials not being promoted?" Thinking of this, he quickly transferred troops to Zhangjiazhuang, and blocked the water around Zhangfu, making it difficult for birds to get out.

Zhao Jinhu shouted outside the door: "Grandfather, Miss has committed a felony in robbing a death row prisoner, and Lord Assassin Shi has led troops to arrest her, can you come out quickly and surrender?" ”

When the whole Zhang family heard this, they were all half frightened to death, and suddenly people were panicked and chaotic.

There was already an attack on the top of the monthly newspaper: "Master, it's not good, Zhao Jinhu's dog thief led the troops to arrest Miss and surrounded the whole house." ”

Zhang Zhong stroked his beard, took a sip of tea, and said confidently: "Attack the moon, what should come will come after all, you don't have to panic." You quickly go and gather all the housekeepers, maids, and generals in the house, I have something to say. ”

Raid the moon received the order and quickly gathered everyone in the hall.

Zhang Zhong stood up and said: "Everyone, my Zhang Mansion is unfortunately in trouble today, and it has affected everyone, Zhang is deeply sorry. But don't panic, there is a secret passage in Madame's meditation room, and we can escape through the secret passage. Everyone went out of the city, those who had relatives joined their relatives, and those who did not have relatives relied on friends, and in the future, we went our separate ways and west, and sought their own future. ”

Everyone wept, and no one was willing to leave.

Zhang Zhong saw everyone's intentions, but in order to take care of the overall situation, he could only act decisively and said busily: "I know that everyone has feelings for Zhang Fu and is reluctant to leave, but now that the eyebrows are burning, there is no time to delay, and if we go slowly, it will be difficult for any of us to survive." Come with me, everyone! ”

Everyone no longer hesitated, and they all followed Zhang Zhong.

The maid reported the siege of Zhang's Mansion by the soldiers to the eldest lady Feng. Feng Shi was startled, and said in his heart: "It's not good, now the Zhang Mansion is in a catastrophe." Thinking that her husband would choose a secret passage to escape, she ordered the maid to remove the statue of the Bodhisattva, find the entrance to the secret passage, pack up her luggage, and wait for the staff to arrive.

As the saying goes: "A one-day husband and wife are a hundred days, and a hundred days of husband and wife are like the depth of the sea." Feng Shiben and Zhang Zhong were at odds, but when they heard that he was in great trouble, they put all their grievances behind them and advanced and retreated with their husbands, living and dying together.

Everyone entered the meditation room, and Zhang Zhong said to Feng: "Madam, the soldiers are trapped in the door of the mansion, let's quickly take everyone to escape along the secret road, right?" ”

"Yes." Feng nodded in agreement.

Zhang Ning, the general, lifted a stone slab and saw a hole in the ground appear below. This tunnel is only known to Zhang Zhong, Feng Shi, Zhang Meiying, and Xiyue, and the others are seeing it for the first time. Everyone lit lanterns and torches, protected the staff and their wives in the middle, and rushed in. The moon finally entered, blocked the entrance to the cave, and ran with the others.

Zhao Jinhu stood outside the door and shouted for a long time, and found that no one in the house replied, so he said: "My lord, there is no movement inside, let's attack, right?" ”

Lu Tiande waved his hand and said, "Little ones, hurry into the house and get people!" ”

The officials received the order, smashed open the gate, rushed into the compound, and scattered in all directions to search.

Lu Tiande stood in the courtyard, looked around, and muttered, "Hehe, what a big mansion!" ”

At this time, a head catcher replied: "My lord, I have searched all over the house, and there is not even a figure in the house." ”

Lu Tiande was stunned: "Can't it, can't they give birth to wings?" ”

Zhao Jinhu said: "My lord, in the opinion of the villain, they must have escaped from the secret passage." ”

Lu Tiande shouted: "These people are so cunning. Zhao Jinhu, this official ordered you to take a hundred servants, quickly go to find the secret passage, and hunt down all the people in the Zhang Mansion. ”

Zhao Jinhu picked up a simple knife, led a hundred servants, found the entrance to the secret passage from the backyard meditation room, lit a torch, and followed the people in Zhang's mansion to chase after him.

Lu Tiande was very proud, and said in his heart: "As long as Zhang Zhong's property is copied back to the yamen, this official will be rich and rival the country, and God will really help me!" He ordered the officials to search out six chests of gold, silver, and jewelry, and put them in the courtyard. Lu Tiande touched the dazzling gold and silver, his heart was full of joy, and his eyes were about to bulge. He ordered someone to transport all the valuable things in Zhang's mansion back to the yamen.

Zhao Jinhu entered the secret passage, turned left and right, chased for a long time, and suddenly saw that there was no road ahead. He was puzzled and said, "How can there be no way out?" He looked to the left corner and found a stone door there, and he gathered enough strength to push it with his palm, and the stone door opened inward. He led the crowd into the stone gate and ran for a while, but when he saw that the people of Zhang's Mansion were running ahead, he raised his knife and pounced: "Where are you going to escape?" ”

Xi Yue turned around and saw Zhao Jinhu chasing after her, her face was almost green with fright, and she shouted: "Brothers, quickly escort the wai and his wife to go first, leave it to me here." ”
