Since Ximen Qing knew who this young man was, he naturally didn't want to let him fall into the hands of a group of lewd monks in Bao'en Temple, and was thinking about how to hide from the Haigong monk next to him, reminding Ma Jin to release the water once, but he didn't want to have another accident in the field. A three-inch-long fine iron arrow suddenly shot through the lush branches and leaves on the top of the camphor tree, and nailed straight to the ground less than an inch from the tip of Ma Jin's toe, and most of the arrow body was submerged in the earth, which shows the strength of this arrow.

Ma Jin was suddenly attacked, and he also broke out in a cold sweat, and the originally fierce fists and feet suddenly stagnated, and immediately let the young man on the opposite side look at the vacancy, and swept back, and then only three punches and two feet solved a warrior monk who blocked the way, and after a while, the whole person disappeared into the dark night.

At this time, Ma Jin naturally didn't care about the whereabouts of the man, so he returned to Ximenqing's side as soon as possible, and guarded him closely with his brother, for fear that the person lurking in the dark would come with another arrow and take the life of his benefactor.

"Three-inch fine iron arrows, no tail feathers!"

After learning this information from Ma Jin's mouth, Ximen Qing immediately thought that the person who released the arrow hidden in the dark was Yan Qing, the "prodigal son" whom he had a relationship with.

Yanqing's martial arts are different from ordinary green forest characters, there is no pair of sumo wrestling in the world with one hand, and there is a Sichuan crossbow, only three short arrows, but it is a hundred steps through the Yang, and the arrows fall to the object, which can be called amazing. With the distance between the two just now, it was only a few zhang away, and it was a secret shot, and Ma Jin could be said to be completely unlucky. Now that he has retreated like this, it is obvious that Yan Qing only wants to save the young man, but he doesn't want to hurt Ma Jin because of this.

"Let's go back!"

Although it is not clear how this Bao'en Temple attracted the two clever people of the Daimyo Mansion tonight, Ximenqing was not willing to stay in this courtyard at this time, and after a perfunctory sentence with the monk Haigong, he left with the Ma brothers, and did not forget to tell Ma Jin to take the small arrow shot into the soil before leaving.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Ximenqing and his party took their leave and set off, leaving this place where dirt and dirt were hidden, and went straight to the Daimyo's mansion.

After entering the Daimyo's Mansion, he found a good hotel in the lively place in the city, and after booking a guest room, Ximenqing asked the little two about Yang Xiong, the prison level of the mansion.

The so-called prison pressure section, that is, a prison head, is a non-grade official, but this rank is in charge of all prisoners in the prison, and for those who are imprisoned, it is tantamount to a Hades who can determine their life and death, so the oil and water are quite thick. Thinking that Dai Zong, who also held this position in Jiangzhou, that scene of blackmailing Song Jiang when he first entered the prison camp Song Jiang's face, his treacherous and vicious, can be regarded as the extreme.

Such a person, in the eyes of the minister, is just a small official who has nothing to worry about, but in the ordinary market, he is really a "big man".

Sure enough, when it comes to Yang Xiong, the shopkeeper Xiao Er is introduced like a few treasures, not admiring his neat knife skills, and being the executioner has never been a second knife; is to envy his glamorous fortune, and marry the Hun family is a well-known pretty lady in the neighborhood, with white skin and flesh to deceive the frost and snow......

"Yang Jie, there is a righteous brother named Shi Xiu?"

Listening to this little Erluo for a long time, but there was no useful information, Ximenqing couldn't help asking.

"Shi Xiu? This villain is lonely and unheard, and he has never heard of any righteous brothers at the Yang Jie level! ”

"It's the guy who runs his lady's butcher's shop!"

Ximen Qing thought that others did not know about Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu's righteousness, and recalled a little that it was mentioned in the book of later generations, and remembered that when Shi Xiu was with Yang Xiong, he took over the management of Pan Ji Butcher Shop. This Pan Ji butcher shop is also an ancestral old shop, and many people should know about it if they want to come to the Daimyo's Mansion.

"What the big official said was Pan Ji butcher's shop? As far as the villain knows, the shop has been closed since the Pan family's lady married Yang Xiong, and it has not been opened for a long time, how can anyone run it? ”

Ximenqing is also strange here, he will send this little two away with dozens of articles, think about it carefully, but it will also save the taste, and the feeling is that he came early. Calculating the time, Shi Xiu is afraid that he has not yet met Yang Xiong at this time, so how can he take care of Pan Ji butcher shop.

Knowing this section, Ximen Qing couldn't help but secretly like it in his heart. This "desperate Saburo" Shi Xiu is one of the smartest people in Naliangshan, and his character is decisive and resolute, and he is even more righteous. Thinking that Yang Xiong wronged him in "Water Margin", this Shi Xiu not only did not feel jealous, but also skillfully killed Pei Ruhai, and then woke up Yang Xiong, which was equivalent to indirectly saving his life.

Such a man who is affectionate, righteous, and resourceful, where will Ximenqing let it go easily, there are several people around him who are now strong in martial arts, but there is no one like Shi Xiu. At that time, although Qian was also very clever, it was a little shorter than Shi Xiu in terms of planning.

Since Shi Xiu has not yet cast himself into the Yang family, according to the clues in "Water Margin", this person is afraid that he will still be a woodcutter in this Daimyo's Mansion, and he wants to find it out in a big city with more than 100,000 household registrations such as the Daimyo's Mansion.

If the time is around, why do you need to worry about this matter!

At this moment, Ximen Qing immediately remembered the benefits of the "flea on the drum", and he was more urgent to collect Shi Xiu into his own hands.

Ximenqing doesn't have the ability to find people, but he has the ability to spend money, but he Ximenqing can be regarded as a master.

gave a reward of ten times, and let the shopkeeper release the news, but after half a day, someone came to the door, saying that he knew the whereabouts of Shi Xiu.

It turned out that Shi Xiu did not live in the city, but lived in a village outside the city, and only went up the mountain every day to chop firewood, and went to the city to exchange some copper coins to live. Coincidentally, the village is in the same direction as the Bao'en Temple, and the two are only three or five miles apart.

I don't know what this Shi Xiu went to do in Bao'en Temple yesterday, and Yan Qing accompanied him, the two really don't know if it was a coincidence or an appointment in advance.

Ximenqing, who got the news, did not waste time, and asked the shopkeeper to hire a carriage and lead the Ma brothers straight to the village.

It was also a coincidence, the carriage had just left the city and had not walked a few steps, when I saw a young man carrying a wooden stick rope walking in front of him from a distance, and the figure was the person who had fought with Ma Jin in Bao'en Temple last night.

Shi Xiu fought last night, but he got up late this morning, and he was delayed until noon before he sold a load of firewood out of the city, but he didn't expect to meet last night's "opponent" again.

"I have never stolen anything from your family, why is it so hard to force each other?"

"Shi Xiu, you are a good man, you just spend your days collecting firewood, aren't you aggrieved. It's better to follow me, and you will have a future in the future! ”

Now Ximen Qing himself is an official from the eighth grade, so naturally he can't promise high-ranking officials Houlu, but he thinks that Yang Xiong has earned this "desperate San Lang" righteous Bo Yuntian with a butcher's shop, and he is also a genuine official, how can he not let this hero sacrifice his life to repay him!
