In the first year of the first year, May 24, it is appropriate to marry and mourn, and it is forbidden to move.

Shandong Province, Yuncheng County, Xujiaji.

Xujiaji is a very small place in Shandong, and very few people in the whole of Shandong Province know about it. However, this place in Yuncheng is very famous, because of a Song Jiang and Song Gongming.

Although the place of Xujiaji is not large, the terrain is very dangerous, and there is a river up and down the mountainside. During the rainy season, flash floods occur, don't think about it. Although I don't know why the ancestors built Zhuangzi here, they didn't want to move out of here. On both sides of the river, there is fertile land, which is why Xu Jiaji is willing to stay here.

There are not many entrances to the entire Xujiaji, only dozens of households enter the house and enter the hundreds. Although it is located in a remote area, the village name here is very happy. The people in the village have a good piece of land, and of course there is no land, that is, the only foreigner in the village, Xu Fu's family lives in the east of the village.

I didn't know where Xu Fu's family came from, but they knew that they moved here ten years ago and were distant relatives of Xu Tiejiang, the only blacksmith in the village. Because everyone's surname is Xu, for the sake of Xu Lao's blacksmith's face, they did not investigate the origin of these entries.

Because Xu Fu's family is loyal and honest, they get along harmoniously, but what makes the village incomprehensible is that Xu Fu's family does not farm, but they are very rich. It can be said that he is the richest family in the whole village, although everyone wants to know everything about the Xu family, but they don't ask.

A group of people came down from the mountain of Xujiaji, about four or five entered, and each entered on horseback. A few people didn't stay, and they came to the door of Xu Fu's house with a familiar way.

The entry of the line immediately attracted the attention of the Xu family, and the entire Xu family set rarely came to such an entry, but since the Xu Fu family moved here, there has always been such a back and forth! The entire Xu family was speculating about what Xu Fu did, but Xu Fu just said that he was doing business outside, but he didn't let him doubt it.

When he came to the door of Xu Fu's house, one stepped forward and knocked on the door gently, and said softly: "Brother Xu, the little brother has come to see you!" ”

After a short time, footsteps sounded inside, and with the sound of wooden doors, two wooden doors were opened with a gap. A small head poked out, and it was an eleven or twelve-year-old child, with big eyes constantly turning, and he looked eccentric.

When the little boy saw the outside, he immediately smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, you promised Qian'er last time to bring a gift to Qian'er, did you bring it this time?" If not, I won't let you in! ”

"How could you forget Qian'er? This is the best preserves to eat in the county, for you! Laijin seemed to like this child very much, took out a paper bag in his arms and handed it to the little boy!

"It's better to Uncle Wang, come in!" After the little boy took the paper bag, he smiled and opened the door.

The group walked into Xu's house with their legs raised, walked at the end and looked left and right, and closed the door when they saw that they had not entered. A few entered without delay, and seemed to be very familiar with this place, so they didn't need to enter the lead, and walked straight to a small house at the back of the yard.

Gently pushing the door open, a few people walked in slowly, and at this time there was a person standing in the room, with his back to the door. Facing this face is a Buddhist shrine with a Buddha statue on it, which can be seen to be a Miller.

"You're here!" The standing one didn't look back, his body didn't move, he just said in an indifferent tone.

Several people respectfully saluted this, and said in unison: "Subordinates see the door master!" ”

That Jinyi put his hands behind his back on the 1st, and his body didn't move, but he asked lightly: "How are things going in Yuncheng?" Are you still hunting down the master? ”

"Returning to the sect master, Yuncheng seems to be calm, but there is an undercurrent. Yesterday, two more incense masters were arrested, and I looked for our entry in the Jinyi Guard, and learned that there was an entry to Yuncheng. He bowed to the master of the door, and said respectfully.

Nodding slowly, the door master asked indifferently in his voice on the 1st: "This point has already been guessed by the door master, but I don't know what kind of entry came this time?" What is the purpose? ”

Na Jin pondered for a moment before he said respectfully: "Door Master, our entry level in the Jinyi Guard is too low to touch this entry from above, but he got orders from above. Secretly visited a person named Xu Hongru, according to his subordinates, they are looking for the door master, once there is a clue, there will be a reward, if you catch it, you can be promoted to three levels! ”

Slowly turning around, looking at the few people standing below, Xu Hongru said helplessly: "This is something that the master of this sect has long expected, but we have been preparing for twenty years, and the reservation is going to start in August, but why is it being targeted by Jinyi Wei now?" Our secrecy is very good, and nothing has gone wrong for 20 years, so how can there be a problem at this juncture? The master of this sect has been thinking about it for a long time, but he just doesn't have the slightest clue. Hall Master Wang, you are also an old member of this sect, and you have been following me, I don't know what you think? ”

"Door master, this time the matter is very strange, it seems that there must be an inner ghost among us, but the level of this inner ghost should not be high. I don't know much about the things inside the door, and the court is also going along the way at this time, wanting to drag us all out! The hall master pondered slightly, and said slowly.

nodded quite approvingly, Xu Hongru also sighed softly, and said helplessly: "We were going to start in August, but now it's only May, and there is such a thing, and our future is uncertain!" I don't know how much money will be left in August? ”

After listening to Xu Hongru's words, Hall Master's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, and he groaned for a moment before he said slowly: "Door Master, my subordinates have a word, I don't know whether to say it or not?" ”

Smiling lightly, Xu Hongru said with a calm face: "Hall Master Wang, you have been with me for so many years, you can say that you are like a brother, what can't you say." Whatever the words, in spite of the future! ”

"Door master, although we are very cautious when we accept our brothers, and we have tested them many times, it does not mean that all of us are not afraid of death. Jin Yiwei's methods are cruel, and it may be difficult for my brother to be released if he is arrested. The two incense masters who were arrested this time are the two incense masters, if anyone can't survive and confess all of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to run away. So the subordinates begged the master of the door to leave immediately with the family, and then they raised the banner of rebellion and raised their arms! Seeing Xu Hongru's face constantly changing, the master of the Wang Hall still finished his words.

After listening to the words of the hall master, Xu Hongru slowly fell into contemplation, and after a long time, he said with a rather firm expression: "What the hall master said makes sense, without further ado, we will leave here immediately and go to Yaozhu Mountain." Gather the believers and ours there, and then carry the banner of rebellion! ”

Xu Fu's family didn't tell anyone when they entered the capital, packed up their things and quietly left Xujiaji.

In Yuncheng, in the Jinyi Guard Yamen, the torture room in the back house.

Looking at the two entries tied to the pillar, Xu Xianchun frowned slightly, it was a very happy thing to catch the entry. But these two bones are quite hard, and they can't be beaten no matter how they fight. At this time, the smell in the torture room was very pungent, and the cooked meat was mixed with the smell of blood, which made me nauseous.

Covering his mouth with a handkerchief, Xu Xianchun frowned and said to the Jinyi guards beside him: "Wake them up!" ”

When the two of them were woken up by cold water, Xu Xianchun said indifferently: "Both of them are hard bones, good men!" In that case, I will not humiliate you, but give you a good time. ”

"Dog officer, you can't die well! Sooner or later, you will die a miserable death, worse than us! A man who was tied to a pillar shouted loudly, his voice was full of resentment, and his eyes were full of hatred when he looked at Xu Xianchun.

Walking slowly in front of this person, Xu Xianchun smiled indifferently, and said with a fierce light in his eyes: "I originally wanted to give you a good time, but since I don't want it, the official doesn't force it." ”

"What do you want? You dog officer, you will definitely die without a place to bury. The other one also looked at Xu Xianchun viciously, and said hoarsely.

Although the tone of this entry was very hard, the trace of panic in his eyes betrayed him, and it was not easy to see these two entrances.

"My favorite thing in my life is to curse my official's entry, because this official will make them worse than me. My favorite thing to do in my life is to help people get in for fun. Since you want me to die worse than you, the premise is that you must die badly, otherwise I won't be too miserable. Xu Xianchun changed the handkerchief and said indifferently.

"Dog officer, what skills do you have, just use it! If we are soft, we will not be in the next life! The one standing on the right side of the entrance, according to the 1st is leaning his neck and saying with a mocking face.

Nodding slowly, Xu Xianchun sighed softly and said sincerely: "Since this is the case, this official believes that your words are true." After speaking, Xu Xianchun slowly turned around and beckoned to the young man not far away.

Seeing this Lang Zhong carrying a medicine box on his back, Na Jin then said mockingly: "What do you let such a bad old man do? What can he do? ”

"Laoshan, I really hope to see your ancestral craftsmanship again, I hope you don't let me down!" Bowing to Laoshan, Xu Xianchun said in a deep voice, obviously Xu Xianchun still has a lot of respect for Laoshan.

Bowing to Xu Xianchun, Laoshan said helplessly: "This craft has not been used for many years, it is really an ancestral inheritance, and I hope that Xu Da will enter the sea!" ”

"Laoshan, when the official was a child, he knew about your family's affairs, and he was so curious about this skill!" Xu Xianchun bowed to Laoshan once, and his voice was more sincere.

"Xu Dajin, when the ancestors executed Liu Jin, because of the lack of seventeen knives, Liu Jin was already dead. These 3,600 knives are indeed too difficult! Laoshan smiled bitterly, he didn't expect this Xu Xianchun to be so curious about this.
