Hit the horse into the village, found a relatively large family, Dong Ping turned over and dismounted, came to the door, knocked on the door knocker, after a while someone inside answered, and then squeaked the door about the point, and came out of an old man, looking at the age of four or five years old, wearing a coat.

"Uncle, I am a general who returned to Beijing to restore his life, and I missed the overnight because I was in a hurry, and I plan to come to you for a night, and I will do it early tomorrow morning, and I also ask the old man to make it convenient, and the money is indispensable." Dong Ping smiled all over his face and said kindly.

Seeing that it was a general, he hurriedly let Dong Ping inside, and said enthusiastically: "The general is polite, I will stay at the old man's house tonight, eat and rest for a night, as for the silver, I don't need it, and it is convenient for me to be convenient with others."

Dong Ping saw that the old man was so reasonable and hospitable, and he was very grateful, the old man cleaned up his side room, took a new bedding and laid it out, and made some wine and food for Dong Ping to eat and drink, and he was comfortable by his side.

"Where did the general go on a business trip, why was he so embarrassed, and he missed the night." The two of them were eating and chatting, and the old man asked here.

Dong Ping didn't think much about it, and with the strength of the wine, he told everything about the matter, how he was ordered to crusade against Liangshan, how he was captured, how Chao Gai persuaded him to surrender, and how he sent him down the mountain.

The old man was fine at first, but when he heard it, his face changed, and after a while, he returned to smiling, toasting enthusiastically, serving vegetables, and Dong Ping was already drunk when he pushed the cup and changed the lamp.

The old man saw that Dong Ping was drunk, and he went up the mountain and pushed and screamed twice, and when he saw that he was really drunk, he turned around and walked out of the house, and immediately called his two sons, and found a rope to tie Dong Ping up strongly.

When Dong Ping woke up the next day, he found that he was tied up strongly, and just as he was about to struggle, he saw the old man who took him in yesterday, and there were two young men standing next to him.

"Uncle, why is that? If you want to rob money, I have a hundred taels of gold in my baggage, and you can take it, and please don't hurt my life. Dong Ping said, his heart was cold, he had just come out of Longtan, and he wanted to fall into the tiger's den again.

"Phew, that's going to ask for your stinky money." A guy next to him spat hatefully and said.

This made Dong Ping a little puzzled, and immediately asked, "Uncle, since you don't want money, why did you tie me up?"

"It's because you are the opponent of the heroes of Liangshan." The old man said.

Why is that? I am an official, Liangshan is a thief, how can the old man help the thief regardless of good or bad? Dong Ping was even more confused after hearing this, and asked again.

"Good or bad?" The old man snorted coldly after hearing this, and then said: "Well, today the old man will come to tell you about the good and bad in your mouth, the official government goes up to the lord and down to the scribe, that doesn't say people and doesn't do things, oppresses the good, expropriates the good, and extorts violently, and the common people, last winter's heavy snow, our village was crushed by the heavy snow More than 30 houses, including our family, we gathered a few villagers and customs officials to ask for help, but the county lord only cared about his own pleasure and didn't care about the life or death of our people, and ordered people to beat us out with sticks, Poor old man Wang was so beaten alive that he was seriously injured, and vomited blood and died in a fit of anger, this is the court to which you are loyal, this is the good in your mouth. ”

"Let's talk about the bad in your mouth, Chao Tianwang since he hit Liangshan, Liangshan heroes have no offense against the surrounding people, corrupt officials and corrupt officials within a radius of 100 miles, landlords and bullies have been swept away, the nearby villagers don't say that Chao Tianwang is benevolent, or the heavy snow last winter, Chao Tianwang personally took the heroes of Liangshan down the mountain to relieve the disaster, there are hundreds of villages and towns within a radius of 100 miles, Liangshan heroes help us repair our houses day and night, distribute grain and grass and send medicine for free for us, if it weren't for Chao Tianwang, Our family is long gone, you say, this is what you call bad. ”

The old man's words made Dong Ping's ears red, he was ashamed and angry, he didn't squeak when he put it down, and he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

The old man saw that Dong Ping didn't speak, so he continued: "My old man hasn't read a book, and I don't know any big truths, but my heart is like a mirror, whoever is good to me, I will repay him tenfold, Chao Tianwang is benevolent and righteous, righteous and thin, this is a living Bodhisattva sent by God to save the suffering, you want to go back to Tokyo to restore your life and then let the imperial court send an army to attack Liangshan, with my old man here, you are delusional."

The more the old man said, the more angry he became, and then let his two sons lift Dong Ping up, and went out to Liangshan to ask for Chao Tianwang's departure, this old man surnamed Wang is a well-known enthusiastic and honest person in the village, it was daytime, and there were many people in the village, seeing the old man's move, he naturally wanted to come forward and ask to understand, and the villagers listened to the old man, and they were also indignant, and spontaneously followed the old man, and took this Dong Ping to Liangshan, and Dong Ping didn't say a word from beginning to end, just lowered his head, and didn't know what he was thinking.

After an hour of hard work, everyone escorted Dong Ping to the hotel on the side of Liangshan, and the villagers in the nearby ten miles and eight townships knew that this hotel was opened by a good man in Liangshan, and the shopkeeper was also the leader of Liangshan, so he directly brought Dong Ping here.

Zhu Gui in the hotel saw so many people, hurriedly walked out of it, and asked, "Folks, why are so many people coming to the small shop today?"

Many of the villagers also knew Zhu Gui, Wang Laohan walked up to Zhu Gui at the moment, pointed to Dong Ping, who was tied up next to him, and said: "Leader Zhu, this dog official is going to Tokyo to lead the official army to encircle and suppress Liangshanbo, stay at our house overnight, and I will be arrested and escorted to Liangshan to hand over to King Chao Tian."

Zhu Gui took a look at it, recognized Dong Ping, and knew what was going on when his mind turned at the moment, Zhu Gui laughed, and said to Wang Laohan and all the villagers: "Hahaha, thank you folks for thinking of us Liangshan, and come so far away, Xiao Er, go and give every villager a consistent money."

When Wang Laohan heard this, he waved his hand at that time, and shirked: "Leader Zhu, how can we ask for your money, we are not here for money, Liangshan heroes, Chao Tianwang has helped us so much, my old man's life was saved by Liangshan heroes, this time I want you money, I ...... What have we become? This money must not be asked. ”

Zhu Gui forced the money into Wang Laohan's hand and said: "Uncle Wang, you will accept this money when you are old, it is a little thank you from our Liangshan, if you don't accept it, let my brother know about it, and you must cure my crime."

The two of them fought back and forth, and in the end, Wang Laohan accepted the money, and Zhu Gui sent the money to the villagers one by one, and everyone was still grateful.

Dong Ping's eyes next to him were straight, where had he ever seen such a grass coward, for this trivial matter, he gave people money consistently, even the imperial court is not as good.

Zhu Gui seemed to guess what Dong Ping was thinking, so he said: "My Liangshan heroes are disciplined, but they are not those grass and wanderers, or the officials and soldiers are not comparable, Brother Chao Gai emphasized three times that he would not take a stitch from the villagers, and the villagers must repay Liangshan for helping them, and what is violated is the service of the military sticks, and I Zhu Gui does not have the good body to withstand the fifty military sticks."

Dong Ping was stunned again after hearing this, and seemed to realize in his heart, Zhu Gui didn't care about him, and after talking to Wang Laohan and other villagers for a while, he personally sent them out.

After Zhu Gui came back, he untied the rope on Dong Ping's body with his own hands, and Zhu Gui said: "General Dong has met again, where does the general plan to go now?"

Dong Ping didn't answer Zhu Gui's words, but said: "Trouble Leader Zhu, I want to see Chao Tianwang."

Zhu Gui didn't know what he was going to do, but he still nodded and said, "Then please ask the general to rest for a while, and then go to inform King Chao and arrange for a boat to send the general up the mountain."
