Chapter 255: Another Godfather
Tang Kehu thought to himself. Old fellow, don't come with me to do this! This case was originally to be tried by the Dragon Tower, but because Bohai entered the Four Treasures, it was put on hold first. There is no holy decree, as soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip, I will slaughter him, the emperor asked about it, you are treacherous, what are you responsible for? As soon as your mouth is slurred, I'll have to take the role of the dead ghost! Others don't know you, I don't know you yet! Have you done less of this kind of thing?
Tang Kehu blinked a few swollen eyes, pondered an idea, and said: "Old Chitose, according to the late birth of the son, this trick is not the best strategy, when there is really no other way." to do so. ”
"Say, what's the best policy?"
According to the view of his later life, Meng Ranhao's golden palace interprets the watch and knows the pearls, and he is very happy. With this joy, the old Chitose entered the palace to play a secret book, and said that the demon would take long live to recruit and open the bow. The opportunity of the beast sage, the stupid beetle is ready to move, and he wants to rob the prison and rescue the big demon, unite with the Bohai soldiers, and seize the Dahua country. People don't go without heads, birds don't fly without heads, and immediately slaughter the demon leader Li Mingyuan, the tree falls and scatters, the demon is scattered, and the sharp spirit of the Bohai Sea goes down. Long live in order to keep the country, I will be able to get this book. At that time, it would be justified to kill Li Mingyuan again. ”
"Okay, this plan is very good, wait for the old man to enter the palace and play a secret book." Zhao Changyong is not stupid, he knows that the emperor is guarding himself like a thief, how could he agree to his suggestion, so he and Zhao Xingjiang worked together, directly bypassed the emperor, and issued a fake decree to Tang Kehu.
Tang Kehu was stupid and unwilling, there was an order in the palace, and he naturally had to obey it. The next day. Tang Kehu led his troops to the prison to mention Li Mingyuan. Li Mingyuan has been in prison for these days and has become white and fat. White is covered. I don't see the sun all day long, and the days are long, can it not be white?
Fat is eating, eating good all day long, eating for so many days, can you not be fat?
The reason why he was so comfortable in prison was mainly because of the three sessions after the trial. Lord Lin Shiyulin was afraid that someone would frame Li Mingyuan, so he weighed it with a scale and told the cell leader: When Li Mingyuan was released from prison. Weight can only be gained. It can't be reduced, and if it's less, take the cell head is to ask.
The cell boss was afraid that Li Mingyuan didn't like to eat, so he prepared whatever was delicious. He said to Li Mingyuan: "If you are fat." I can receive the reward; If you're thin. I'll have to confess!"
Li Mingyuan thought to himself: Don't care what the outcome of my case is. You can't say anything, and the cell boss is embarrassed! Eat, eat, and take a few more bites. Again. From time to time, people come to visit the prison and deliver good food. Among them are Xie Xian, as well as two county lords Zhao Qiying and Zhao Yanyu. Li Mingyuan told Xie Xian about his murder. Xie Xian said: "If it weren't for the fact that Bohai entered the Four Treasures, Long Live would have tried this case in the Dragon Tower." Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to avenge your grievances and clear your name. ”
In the midst of the catastrophe, so many people continued to comfort him, so Li Mingyuan was relieved. With a wide heart and a fat body, coupled with eating well, it is natural to get fat.
Today, the cell boss came to mention Li Mingyuan, Li Mingyuan asked if it was murderous or auspicious, and the cell boss said that he didn't know what to do. As soon as Tang Kehu saw Li Mingyuan, he hurriedly ordered people to escort him to the crime car and plugged in the death trick. The cell boss looked at it and understood: beheaded! He thought to himself: It's over, I can't do anything about it! Tell Lord Lin to go! If you can save him, you can't save him, anyway, I sent the letter, you can't blame me anymore! He sent a jailer to deliver the letter to the Bachelor's Mansion.
Tang Kehu led the generals and escorted Li Mingyuan to the cross street. The crossroads have already set up a prison shed and planted piles. The people on the cross street were discussing: "Hey, who is this going to kill?"
"I don't know what to say."
"I heard that I want to kill a big demon!"
"Then you'll have to see what he looks like!"
"Hey, look, it's coming."
This work, Li Mingyuan's heart is really not a taste! He felt wronged! said that he wanted the royal trial of Longlou, but now why is he confused and asked for a knife without trial? Who are you going to tell about everything? Who are you talking to? As the saying goes: horses are thirsty for drinking the water of the Yangtze River, and people look forward to salvation when they are in trouble. Li Mingyuan remembered that his godfather Xiahou Yong was here, although Xiahou Yong said that he was not serious, but he treated me like a father and son, taught me a skill, and before he could make a contribution to the country, he didn't want to be victimized by traitors, and he was going to die in the capital today, so bitter! Godfather, I can't meet you again, and I can't repay you for your kindness to me! Li Mingyuan muttered in his heart, and couldn't help shouting: "Godfather, I can't meet you again!"
At this moment, I only heard someone shouting: "My son, you don't have to take the plunder, my godfather is here!"
Li Mingyuan heard it: It's really happy! I can't believe that my godfather is really here, hey. Did I hear me wrong? Li Mingyuan looked up and saw a Taoist sitting on the opposite side: "Oh, he's not my godfather!"
This Taoist chief is none other than Meng Ranhao. After the dispersal of the dynasty yesterday, Meng Ranhao had just returned to the Golden Pavilion Pavilion, and Lin Shiyu brought his son Jade Butterfly Lin Zhong to ask for a meeting. Why did the Lin family father and son come? Recommend Li Mingyuan to open the bow and descend the beast. The father and son of the Lin family talked about what Li Mingyuan had done, and Meng Ranhao said: "If this is the case, Li Mingyuan can be regarded as a big hero!" Rest assured, your father and son, I will go and seek him. ”
In the morning, Zhang Wen and Li Wu arranged everything, and came to invite Meng Ranhao to praise the officials on the street.
Meng Ranhao: "Put aside the praise official, I'll go do something first." ”
"What's more important than boasting?"
"It's nothing if the official praises or not, it's important to find the person who opened the bow and lowered the beast."
Meng Ranhao put on his Taoist clothes and was about to visit Li Mingyuan in prison for a private visit, when the jade butterfly Lin Zhong came running: "Bachelor, it's not a good thing!" The cell boss said that Tang Kehu was ordered to take Li Mingyuan away and to be beheaded on the cross street!"
Meng Ranhao was anxious when he heard this, and said to Zhang Wen and Li Wu: "Quickly take the Holy Decree and Shang Fang's sword, and lead people to the Cross Street to rob the Dharma field!"
Finished. He mounted a horse and ran first. Meng Ranhao went to the cross street to take a look, and there was a team of people on the opposite side. As soon as the prisoner arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and stopped. When he heard Li Mingyuan call him godfather, he didn't politely pick up the conversation: "Gan'er, don't be alarmed, godfather is here!"
Li Mingyuan looked up and didn't know this Taoist leader, and felt inexplicable. At this time, the people who watched the excitement talked again: "Hey, do you hear me?" There was a lively look today. ”
"What's the excitement?"
"That old man is the godfather of the great demon. He told the big demon not to be afraid, that means to save the big demon!"
"Yes, when my godfather sees that his godfather is going to be stabbed, how can he not save him?"
The officers and soldiers who were detaining Li Mingyuan also heard Meng Ranhao's shouting. I wondered: What? You're here to save the prisoners! Hula Yu. Surrounded the sin cart. The officers and soldiers in front of him waved the blades in their hands and shouted: "Stand still!" Who are you?"
Meng Ranhao pointed at Li Mingyuan and replied, "I am his godfather." ”
"What are you going to do?"
"Come and save my god."
"Oops. What a big boldness, you quickly get off the horse and tie it up, if not, you will be cut into pieces! ”
"Haha It's really bold, I think which of you dares to move? Whoever dares to touch a single hair of me, I will make whoever dies without a place to be buried!"
This sentence really scared those officers and soldiers! The common people muttered again: "This old Taoist is not ordinary!"
"How can you see it, it's not all the same nose and two eyes!"
"That's different. Look at the eyebrows, the eyes, the nose and the face, how positive they look, and there is a sense of righteousness all over the body! How fierce those officers and soldiers were, but let Lao Dao stop him with a single voice, why is this because?"
"Evil does not prevail over good!"
This work. Tang Kehu came up and shouted: "Sons, arrest this old way for Ben Shuai!" A group of officers and soldiers were just about to go up when someone shouted, "Stop!"
At the critical juncture, Zhang Wen and Li Wu rushed here, followed by forty captains, five hundred knife sharpeners, and the three thousand Imperial Forest Army were also running this way.
Tang Kehu knew Zhang Wen and Li Wu and said, "What are the two general soldiers doing here?"
"I am ordered to follow Meng Aiqing, Master Li, and praise the official."
"Where's the bachelor?"
"You're so blind. Isn't this the Bachelor?"
Tang Kehu glanced at Meng Ranhao; Oh, that's him! What kind of bachelor is this? It's a Taoist priest! Blind, leave him alone, don't entangle with them. said: "Two commanders, you are ordered to seize the office, I am ordered to supervise the beheading, let's not violate the river water, let's go our separate ways." ”
Meng Ranhao said: "Naturally, we have to part ways. I ask you, who is in that sin car?"
"The big demon Li Mingyuan."
"You let Li Mingyuan go, hand it over to me, and you can go."
"That's not going to work! Li Mingyuan is a criminal appointed by the imperial court, and he is going to be beheaded, how can he change it to you?"
"He's not guilty."
"How can you not be guilty?"
"Do you know who he is?"
"The Great Demon Who Kills."
"No, he is the great hero I was ordered to seek, the white jade pillar of Dahua. Purple gold beams in the sea. Let him go!"
I was ordered to supervise the beheading, and he was the one who was beheaded, and he couldn't be released!"
"Really?"
"Don't let it go!"
"Zhang Wen, Li Wu."
"Yes."
"I ordered the two of you to hold the sword of Shang Fang and lead someone to save Li Mingyuan, who dares to stop it, kill me!"
"Yes."
When the officers and soldiers who escorted Li Mingyuan heard this, they were all afraid, we have a holy decree, others have a holy decree, and they have Shang Fang's sword, but we don't have it! What are you doing here? Waiting to be stabbed? All of them are cold pot stickers - slippery.
Tang Kehu, this kid, never suffers immediate losses, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he hurriedly ran away. When the common people saw the embarrassment of Tang Kehu and the officers and soldiers escaping, they were immediately happy, some clapped their hands, some applauded, some laughed, and some jumped and jumped.
Zhang Wen and Li Wu led people to rescue Li Mingyuan and removed the torture tools.
Li Mingyuan got out of the guilty car and thought: Although I don't know this Taoist. But you have to recognize him as a godfather! If you don't admit that he is my godfather, won't you put him in it? I'll admit it and ask what's going on when I get a chance. Thereupon. stepped forward and knelt down, and said respectfully: "Godfather is above, thank you godfather for saving his life." ”
Meng Ranhao dismounted and picked up Li Mingyuan, and ordered him to go back to the hall. As soon as Meng Ranhao returned to the Jinting Pavilion, he asked Zhang Wen and Ji Wu, the two imperial commanders, to lead people to guard the pavilion. Meng Ranhao took Li Mingyuan to the living room and ordered someone to fetch water first. asked Li Mingyuan to rinse his mouth and clean his face, and ordered refreshments to be put on the table, and asked Li Mingyuan to eat.
Li Mingyuan refused, and Meng Ranhao ordered the people to retreat. There were only the two of them in the room, Li Mingyuan hurriedly knelt down and said, "My lord, thank you for saving my life." Did you recognize the wrong person?"
Meng Ranhao picked up Li Mingyuan and said, "I didn't admit my mistake. ”
"My lord, do you know what I'm doing?"
"A little bit of it. Can you tell me everything about the murder in Liangzhou and the killing in the ring? Be honest. ”
"Don't worry, sir." Li Mingyuan said with tears in his eyes. Meng Ranhao nodded again and again. said: "Mingyuan." It seems that you are really a hero. I have the heart to take you as a god, are you willing? ”
Li Mingyuan pounced and knelt on the ground: "Godfather is on top, please bow to him!"
Meng Ranhao clasped his hands. Father and son sit opposite each other. Meng Ranhao told Li Mingyuan how he was kicked out of the liberal arts field. How to calculate the hexagram and meet the Ning King Zhao Changyong to reconcile the table and recognize the pearls. The master and apprentice are talking about it. Someone came to report: "Master Qiyu, King Ning led his troops to the Golden Pavilion, and it is not far from here." ”
Li Mingyuan listened. was taken aback, and his mouth respected: "Godfather, Zhao Changyong must have brought people to take me, he is an official and worships King Ning, and he is powerful, but I am afraid that my godfather will not be able to deal with it." Why don't you tie me up with a rope and send me out, you just said that you saved the wrong person, I think, Zhao Changyong won't do anything to his godfather. ”
Meng Ranhao smiled slightly and said, "Gan'er, what do you think of your godfather?" If you are really a gangster who bullies men and women and does mischief. I will not save you, nor will I take you as a son. Since I have already saved you, how can I hand you over to King Ning again?"
"Godfather, where are you hiding me?"
"Ming people don't do dark things, they save you for the teacher, everyone knows, what am I hiding you for?" Speaking of which, call the servants, and give such and such commands.
Meng Ranhao asked Li Mingyuan: "What weapon do you use?" Li Mingyuan said: "A scimitar." Meng Ranhao asked someone to find a scimitar and said: "You take the scimitar well, follow your father to the outside of the Golden Pavilion, look at my eyes and act, I say take it, I say hit it, don't be cowardly." ”
"Yes."
Li Mingyuan secretly thought: My godfather is really guts! It seems that there is a big backer in the capital!
Tables and chairs have been set up outside the Golden Pavilion. There were four dishes and two pots of wine on the table, Meng Ranhao was sitting on a chair, Zhang Wen was on the left, Li Wu was on the right, and Li Mingyuan was standing behind him, all with blades; The Imperial Forest Army, knife sharpeners, and school captains are lined up on both sides, all of them majestic.
Meng Ranhao took the small wine jug and drank it! This formation had just been set up, and Zhao Changyong came with soldiers and horses.
It turned out that after Tang Kehu ran out for a while, he gathered all the soldiers and generals, and after the team was put in order, he came to King Ning's palace and reported to Zhao Changyong: "Old Chitose, I will lead the troops to the cross street to behead Li Mingyuan, I don't want anyone to rob the law field and save Li Mingyuan!"
When King Ning heard this, he was furious: "What kind of person is bold and dares to grab the law field!" As a prison officer, you have brought so many soldiers and generals, why did you let people rob the court?"
"Old Chitose, and breathe the wrath of thunder. Although I have a lot of generals, I can't afford to provoke this person who robs the court. ”
"Who is it?"
"Meng Ranhao."
"Huh? It's him!"
"That's right, he showed Shang Fang's sword!"
Zhao Chang's courage was broken, and he shouted: "Meng Haoran, you are so bold!" dared to rob the court and rescue Li Mingyuan, which was clearly against the old man. The old man wants to touch you, I will go to the Golden Pavilion and ask you for Li Mingyuan. If you give him up, you will be fine; If you don't hand over the Great Demon Man. The old man will never give up with you!"
In this way, Zhao Changyong led his troops to the Golden Pavilion. King Ning saw Meng Ranhao pinching the small wine pot and drinking from afar, and the Imperial Forest Army, the knife sharpener, and the captain with knives and guns in his hands lined up on both sides. He took a few steps forward and saw Zhang Wen and Li Wu, the two imperial commanders, standing around Meng Ranhao, and Li Mingyuan standing behind with his back on his back. As soon as he saw this formation, Zhao Changyong knew that the wind was not smooth, and asked the officers and soldiers to stop, he dismounted, walked a few steps, and came to Meng Ranhao.
Meng Ranhao had already seen him, deliberately pretending not to look at it, pinching the small wine jug in his hand, Ci'er Ci'er drank two sips, and Bada Bada mouthed: "Good wine, good wine!" As he spoke, he took two more bites of food.
Zhao Changyong, the king of Ning, stood opposite Meng Ranhao, and Meng Ranhao didn't even pay attention. But King Ning was angry, he suppressed his anger, hugged his wrists to his chest, and said, "Lord Meng, how are you?"
Only then did Meng Ranhao raise his head: "Yo, isn't this King Ning Lao Chitose?"
King Ning secretly thought: You have already seen me, what kind of garlic are you pretending! said: "Lord Meng, I have been leading troops for a long time. ”
"Oh, with all due respect, King Xie Ning."
"Where did Xie come from?"
"Now I don't have a bachelor's mansion, I am temporarily living in the Golden Pavilion Pavilion, King Ning is only afraid that someone will murder me, so he personally led the troops here to protect me, how can I not thank it?"
These words almost made King Ning angry, his lips moved, he didn't say anything, and he didn't know how to answer Meng Ranhao. After calming down for a while, he said, "Meng Aiqing, you are wrong. Long live giving you 3,000 Imperial Forest Army, 500 knife sharpeners, 40 captains, as well as Zhang Wen and Li Wu, the two imperial commanders, all of whom are protecting you, so you don't need me to protect you. ”
"In this way, where is King Ning going to kill these soldiers and generals?"
Zhao Chang's lips trembled with courage: "Don't kill anywhere." Meng Aiqing don't ask knowingly. ”
"I don't know, how can I ask?"
"Who's that standing behind you?"
Meng Ranhao looked back: "He is my godson Li Mingyuan." ”
"Today, Deputy Marshal Tang was ordered to behead him, and you praised the official to save him, do you know what crime he committed?"
"As far as I know, he is not guilty."
"Li Mingyuan made trouble in Liangzhou and fought in the ring. Kill people. Why do you say that he is not guilty of committing a great sin? He's a big demon who has no king's law, why are you accepting him for nothing?"
"Ha Lu Ha, King Ning, if he doesn't have two sons, he is a wreck, and I don't want him. Just because he dared to fight unevenly, I took him as a god. I saved him, what are you going to do?" (To be continued......)
