Chapter 140: Visiting Salmon Island at Night
In the quiet night sky, a meteor pierced the sky, and it burned itself in exchange for the brilliant and ephemeral light mark on the boundless sky.
If there is nothing to do, when the lights are on, three or five confidants and friends, leaning on the soft sand, looking at this wonderful night scene, and telling each other about their hearts, how comfortable it should be.
It's a pity that in this life, things are often unsatisfactory, and there are always some unwarranted disasters that will be imposed on others without warning.
At this time, the iron-faced face Pei Xuan crouched on the undulating sea ship, looking up at the strange scenery in the starry sky, his mind was indescribably chaotic.
Originally, on the way here, he was just in a hurry to rush here, and he didn't care about anything else. At this time, when he arrived in Dengzhou, he was also on the ship crossing the sea, and he saw that it was close to Salmon Island, but he didn't want to, and his mood suddenly became complicated and apprehensive at this moment.
As a Confucius who is proficient in the knife and pen, and has been in the officialdom of a mansion for nearly 20 years, how could Pei Xuan not know what this Shamen Island is? It is rumored that if the prisoner arrived on this Salmon Island, he would have already stepped on the gates of hell with one foot.
At that time, Wang Juyuan, the envoy of Jingdong Transport, had calculated an account for the prisoners on Salmon Island in the official document, and he happened to witness it by chance, and there was a sentence on the official document, which made him remember it deeply.
The original verse reads: "If we count the number of 300 men per year, about 3,000 in ten years, and 2,000 men in charge except for one death." Today, it is only one hundred and eighty, which shows its disadvantages. ”
At this time, this sentence has been rushing in the depths of his conscience, and it only makes him frustrated. I only felt a little afraid of going to the island, lest the two wives and uncles had been killed by adulterers and were no longer alive. If this is really the result after going to the island, how can you explain it to the Hun family? Do you have to live in regret all your life?
At this time, a sea breeze with a strong smell of sea smell poured into his nostrils, which made him feel a little uncomfortable with the tide, and then brought out a burst of retching.
Wang Lun, who was sitting next to Pei Xuan, saw that he was restless and a little seasick. Seeing this, he patted his vest directly, and the light pat of this palm and palm by palm seemed to have a kind of magic, which only made Pei Xuan's heart feel a lot better, he looked back at this person gratefully, and said in his heart that he and thousands of brothers galloped day and night for themselves, if he only cared about his posture and his mind was depressed at this time, how could he be worthy of this heavy friendship?
Wang Lun, who had been paying close attention to Pei Xuan's condition, saw that the iron-faced face suddenly became resolute, and he didn't vomit. Just gasped for breath and relaxed slightly.
At this time, I suddenly saw a big man with a sarcoma on his head on the front boat, turned around and made a gesture, Wang Lun immediately greeted Fei Bao, Fei Bao hurriedly got up and gave orders, only to see that the ships around him were speeding up.
Looking at the ten ships on this team that were about to arrive at their destination, Wang Lun secretly sighed in his heart, knowing that he knew that the other side could win a hundred battles, and arrived in Dengzhou, where his eyes were black. Naturally, I had to ask a trusted local person about the situation, and at this time, with the uncle and nephew of the Zou family who were familiar with the way, things were really much easier.
It is said that at noon today, Wang Lun received the pair of uncles and nephews in Sun Xin's Shili Hotel. The two sides hit it off at first sight. When this Zou Yuan and Zou Run first took a photo, they bowed to Wang Lunna. As soon as Wang Lun opened his mouth to invite them to go up the mountain to gather righteousness, these two people did not shirk, probably after listening to Sun Xin talk about the situation on the way. Both men were prepared.
Later, when he heard that the people of Liangshan were going to go to this Shamen Island to save people, the uncle and nephew volunteered to look for the boat. In less than an afternoon, the boats needed for the 300 men in Liangshan had been prepared. It was they who went to hire two fishermen who were familiar with Salmon Island, and then they crossed the sea at night.
Following Wang Lun was the nephew of the pair of uncles and nephews, Zou Run, the unicorn dragon, and his uncle Zou Yuan, who was out of the forest, stayed on the south bank at this time, serving as guides for Lu Zhishen, Li Kui, Deng Fei, and Yang Lin. There were people watching in front of these five camps, but when there was movement, they fired arrows and immediately raided his lair.
Wang Lun, who was fluctuating with the waves, was bowing his head and pondering, when he suddenly heard Lin Chong get up and order: "Everyone is ready!" Wang Lun saw that he looked ahead, and by the moonlight, he could already see the outline of this island of death in his sight. Wang Lun patted Pei Xuan beside him, signaling him to concentrate and get ready, and he would have to rely on him to recognize people later.
In less than a stick of incense, the front boat has docked, everyone jumped off the boat, busy fixing the boat, Wang Lun, Jiao Ting, Pei Xuan also went down to the beach, at this time Fei Bao said to Zhang Shun: "Brother Zhang Shun, this sea looks no different from our water, except that the waves are bigger, nothing strange!" ”
Zhang Shun smiled back and said, "How far has this been out of the sea?" A hundred or twenty miles at most? If we go deeper, our small boat will not be consumed, but we will have to be a big ship! Luck tonight, I'm afraid that God can't get used to the grievances under the sky, so I can't wait until I encounter any wind and waves, so I can safely go ashore to save people, otherwise I'm afraid that it will be enough! ”
Fei Bao was very convinced of his water nature, and when he saw him say this, he grinned, and followed everyone to the island, and after Zhang Shun's palace, he left five or seven sailors with two fishermen to guard the boat here, and then chased the team.
At this time, it was the second watch, but the island was almost inaudible. Wang Lun took these two hundred elite sailors and his own army, plus Lin Chong, Zhang Shun, Fei Bao, Pei Xuan, Jiao Ting, and Zou Run, six leaders, and went straight to the depths of the island. According to the information provided by Sun Xin, there are only more than 80 households living on this island, but they have to support the people of the whole island. And there are three or two hundred prisoners in custody on this island at this time, so how many jailers can there be? With his nearly 300 elite soldiers who came prepared, it should be more than enough for these weak jailers.
As everyone was walking, they suddenly saw the soldiers in front of them rushing back and said, "Brother, five or seven people have crashed into the path ahead!" ”
Seeing this, Lin Chong glanced at Wang Lun, Wang Lun nodded, and Lin Chong asked everyone to hide in the darkness on both sides of the path, just waiting for these few to come. I didn't wait long, and I saw three or four jailer-looking men walking with three ragged prisoners, and one of the jailers scolded and said: "Look at you for nothing, Si Swenwen, but you have some weather, not like a person who has no money, how can you go to the island and not know filial piety to the master?" After the jailer finished speaking, he saw that the prisoner looked disdainful, and he didn't bother to look at himself, his heart was angry, and he said angrily: "Today, the master will open his eyes to you, and let you know what a cheap life is!" ”
After the man finished speaking, he slashed at one of the scrawny prisoners without warning, and before he could even wail, this man was killed by the evil ghost next to him, and the blood splashed on the other jailer next to him, only to hear the man immediately say angrily: "Ma San, what are you fooling about!" It's all said that you will kill you at the beach, are you deaf or stupid? Do it here, and you carry his corpse over? ”
Ma San smiled and said, "Why are you spending that energy?" Throw it straight into the grass, and deal with it when you have time! My brothers eat less every day, and their legs and stomachs are straight and weak, so I think it's better to go back and rest early! ”
At this time, the prisoner who looked at the still human form said angrily, "You are so careless of human life, ignoring the king's law, you are not afraid of retribution!" ”
Another hungry prisoner beside him did not react to this inhumane scene, but only glanced at his angry fellow with a blank expression.
Seeing this, Ma San laughed and said, "Retribution? You tell me about retribution? I don't know how many lifetimes of mold have been sent to this immortal place, and I will accompany you damned prisoners when I see the sky, isn't this retribution?! Don't talk nonsense, if you know each other and ask your family to send money over, I may stay with you for a few more days! ”
The prisoner looked angry, but before he could speak, he suddenly saw a group of people rushing out of the surrounding area, and surrounded them, and the jailers were shocked, so they heard Ma San shouting, "Rebellion? What kind of place is this, how dare you ......?"
I saw that he hadn't finished speaking, and the domineering expression on his face hadn't had time to change to horror, and the head of the vulture's spontaneous voice was already five or seven feet away from his body, and it rolled on the ground several times before stopping.
The remaining three jailers were already stunned, seeing that this group of people was too vicious, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, at this time, the prisoner who was being blackmailed saw the person wielding the knife, and he couldn't believe the scene in front of him, only to hear him lose his voice and say: "Sister...... Sister-in-law? ”
Pei Xuan's eyes were also red, and he immediately stepped forward to cut the rope on his body, and he didn't have time to say anything else, so he only asked, "Where is the other brother?" ”
When he asked, the wife's uncle hurriedly said: "It's still there, and the eldest brother is in prison!" ”
Pei Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and looked at Wang Lun with an anxious face: "Brother! ”
Wang Lun nodded, looked at the three jailers who were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, and said, "Are you going to die or live?" ”
When the three jailers saw the two or three hundred big men with swords beside them, they thought that the guards of the whole village were not the opponents of this group of people, so they dared to be lucky, and they all rushed to say: "Little ...... The villain is willing to lead the way, willing to lead the way......"
Wang Lun saw that they knew it in his heart, so he also saved his words and said: "If you play tricks, don't blame the knife in my hand for not recognizing people!" ”
Seeing this, the three of them all kowtowed, got up and led the way in front, when Lin Chong pointed to another prisoner and said, "Brother, what should you do with this person?" ”
Wang Lun looked at this person and said, "Although there are many innocent people on this island, there are also some who have really committed a crime worthy of death, bring them back first!" ”
As soon as Wang Lun finished speaking, two personal soldiers stepped forward to look at this person, and this person stared at Wang Lun when he saw this, and a ray of light suddenly appeared in his cloudy and dim eyes, and then flashed. (To be continued......)
