Chapter 197: The golden cicada sheds its shell and the wasp stings

Compared to the morning haze, the weather at noon is indeed much better. At this time, in a town on the north bank of Jiangzhou, this leisure time, which was originally the most suitable for an afternoon rest, was crushed by a sudden dense footsteps, and the townspeople took advantage of the excitement to come and shouted happily: "Go to the wasp stinger's house......" "Go to the judgment family to choose a family, and take what you like......

It's just that when they saw the main owner standing at the door of their mansion, they couldn't help but tremble a little in their hearts. After all, this person has too much power on weekdays, and he once achieved the high position of the general judgment of the imperial court back then, and I think that in that state, except for Zhizhou, he is the biggest. seems to be such a powerful character, and I don't know how many years it took to survive such a person in this town. At this time, although he was dismissed, no one dared to regard him as an idle person, who didn't know that he was still a frequent visitor to Cai Jiufu, the governor of Jiangzhou? In this hierarchical society, being able to freely enter and exit the Taishou Mansion represents his social status to some extent.

At this time, Huang Wenbing stood at the door of the house, looking at the townspeople who came to his house to divide their belongings with a smile, and used that old face that knew the world to ease everyone's vigilance first, and then completely relieved their doubts with encouragement, until the most embarrassed people were sent into the house with shame and joy, and the whole process took less than half a cup of tea.

"What are you doing?"

A middle-aged man who was quite kind to Huang Wenbing hurriedly walked through the vegetable garden between the two houses, and when he saw that his brother was very abnormal at this time, he couldn't help but ask.

When Huang Wenbing turned around and saw that it was his brother who rushed to hear the news, he smiled and pulled Huang Wenye, who was known as the "Yellow-faced Buddha", to a secluded place, and said: "Brother, a few years ago, our family was separated, and the younger brother was an official in the field at that time, and he didn't ask for a piece of land in the family. ”

Huang Wenye was stunned when he heard this. said: "The matter of separating the family was decided when my father was alive, do you have to regret it?" ”

Huang Wenbing looked at his brother and sighed, and said, "What do you regret, in the past few years that I have been idle, have I ever asked you to ask for land?" Besides, if I am sparing money, why should I scatter my furniture at this time and ask you for land again? ”

Huang Wenye was confused when he heard this, so he had to talk about the matter: "It's a good thing to help the poor and help the poor, but there is no one like you, if they are like you." Everyone saved the poverty of other people's families today, and tomorrow it will be the turn of others to save their own suffering! Brother, you can behave like this now, and I am happy for you for my brother, but you have to do everything according to your ability! ”

Huang Wenbing smiled, didn't answer his brother's words, but said to himself: "On Cai Jiu's Mansion in Jiangzhou, there is a public man who is familiar with me, and he sold a lot of favor today. came to inform me of the news: the prisoner who robbed the prison the day before yesterday called the strongman of Huangmen Mountain to save him, and Cai Jiu almost ate them and caught him. Now the people on the black and white road in Jiangzhou have offended the little brother all over the place, and this is not my place, and the little brother wants to avoid it for a while. Entrust a family of forty or fifty men and women to his elder brother, and the younger brother will go away from home! ”

Huang Wenye was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and he raised his forehead and complained: "I only tell you to be nosy, nosy!" And yet you are doing such a short-lived thing! What do you do? Why do you want to harm him? If there may be a heavenly reason, the retribution is only for now. But didn't it suffer the other way? ”

"Nothing to do with me!?" Huang Wenbing's originally suppressed negative emotions instantly exploded, only to hear him say very excitedly: "What does it mean to have nothing to do with me? This person is just a thief with an army, and there is no one to supervise him in the place where he is serving his sentence. In broad daylight, I was drunk in the downtown area and wrote anti-poems, I have been favored by the emperor for more than 20 years, and when I encounter such a thing, what is wrong with reporting him in front of the local official? ”

The Yellow Buddha thought about it carefully, and secretly felt that his brother's words were not reasonable, and when he was speechless, he heard Huang Wenbing say again: "Brother, you and I are compatriots, you also know how many years I have been studying hard in the sea of books, and in the past twenty years, I finally got into a state to be judged, just because there is no backer behind me, so people will fall down." You only look at my scenery on weekdays, how do you know my inner suffering? On top of this, where did I lose money? If he Song Jiang didn't have on his body, would I be able to rely on him? ”

Seeing that his brother was still silent, Huang Wenbing only felt that he had fallen into a lonely situation, and his heart palpitated at this time, and he couldn't help but lament to the air: "The world is the wind, and people like me are rootless grass, when the wind blows that way, I will fall in which way!" This world is turbid, I will make muddy, this world is peaceful, I am a clean official! Is my Huang Wenbing not as good as anyone else in reading, or is my brain not flexible? The whole world called these guys like this, why did it happen that when it was my turn alone, it was bad? ”

Huang Wenye heard his younger brother say what was in his heart for the first time, and he felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't accuse him, so he had to ask: "Brother, what are you going to do this time?" ”

Huang Wenbing sighed and said: "That Cai Jiu is the habit of a son-in-law, but it can't be called a 'poison' word, he saw that my family was broken, and his anger should be gone, and he said that he got two windfalls because of me in the past two days, and he should not be angry with my family again." I'm afraid that Song Jiang is afraid, this person has a rebellious personality, round on the outside and strong on the inside, a few days ago he told me to pretend to be crazy and eat in prison, how can he let go of such hatred? ”

Huang Wenye said that he was a little unbearable, isn't his brother's relatives also his relatives? At this critical juncture, they are still brothers, and they just ask: "How can I protect your family?" ”

Huang Wenbing waited for this sentence, but he was not in a hurry, but the things came one by one: "Fortunately, several leaders on this Huangmen Mountain are said to be people who pay attention to reputation, as long as they eliminate evil and promote good, I think my brother is the most famous person in this town, where are they willing to disturb you?" Besides, Cai Jiu will not let them go this time, so what I am most afraid of is that Song Jiang brought the group of people who robbed the prison to come to take revenge! If they still want to take revenge, brother, my family's fields outside the town, my father left you when the family was divided, and there are more than two or three hundred tenants living in the village at this time, and each family draws a strong man out to guard the village, so Song Jiang doesn't have to be afraid of him at all when he comes, and I have taken care of the officials and soldiers in this town, but when I hear the news, I will take care of my brother and take care of it! The younger brother really has no other way at this time, and I hope that my brother can take care of the lives of my family of forty or fifty! ”

Huang Wenye sighed when he saw this, looked at the sky and sighed: "You and I are also born of the same mother, how can I ignore you at this time?" As soon as you said this, I'm not afraid, I'll take in my brother's family, and it's reasonable to go anywhere, brother, just leave! ”

Huang Wenbing bowed to Huang Wenye. After a long time, he got up and said: "My Zhuangzi's house deed, I have instructed my confidant to wait for Cai Jiu to send someone to come to the door to find something to leave him to make an explanation, I have prepared another thousand taels of silver, and ask my brother to buy the house back when Cai Jiu leaves, and also let the younger brother go home in the future, he can have tiles to cover his head!" ”

"Ide, Ide!" Huang Wenye saw that his younger brother had taken everything into account for himself, and he was relieved at this time.

Huang Wenbing sighed. Turning back and glancing desolate into the courtyard, he saluted his brother again, and disappeared at the end of the vegetable garden without looking back.

Huang Wenye looked at the direction of his brother's departure, stayed for a long time, and then went back, and immediately called out the housekeeper and asked him to gather all the strong men in the Zhuangzi, and began to take turns to guard against theft and thieves tonight, and asked him to hold a big wine feast immediately. In the evening, the town's military and political officials were feasted.

Let's say that Huang Wenbing scattered all the furniture, and let the maids and maids in the house go out, but there is a tailor who is used to flying needles and threads, and he is born black, thin and light. Just because he was the first person to make clothes here. There are also some martial arts, so he has a nickname on the rivers and lakes, and he is known as the gibbon Hou Jian.

It is said that this person has lost a big customer today, and he walks alone in the market. I saw him walking with his head down. Suddenly, a person stretched out his hand and pulled him to the base of the wall, but Hou Jian was startled when he saw this. When he raised his eyes to look, Fu was full of surprise, it turned out that it was Xue Yong, the master who had taught him the gun stick, and Hou Jian immediately bowed: "Master! I haven't seen you, I don't know if I'm okay? ”

"I'm now wanted by the government, brother, don't be so polite, I'm here today, just to ask you, since you are a first-hand local tailor, the wasp stinger is familiar!" Xue Yong said in a low voice.

Hou Jian didn't think about it, and said straightly: "Familiar, very familiar!" Fang just came out of his house! ”

Xue Yong slapped his thigh when he heard this, and said happily: "It's really effortless, Brother Xian doesn't know, I just called this person harmful!" Immediately put his own way to meet the famous timely rain on the rivers and lakes, how to save him, how to be virtuous one by one, Hou Jian was dumbfounded, and hurriedly told the master what he knew, that Xue Yong saw Huang Wenbing scattered all the furniture, his heart was shocked, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he had to ask Hou Jian to go with him to see Chao Gai and Song Jiang, Hou Jian happily followed, the two galloped on the road for a while, and when they arrived at the junction, it was already dark.

At this time, the little overlord Zhou Tong and the little block Mu Chun had already asked everyone to dig a pit and bury it, but they didn't dare to set up an inscription, for fear of asking the government to dig it out, so they left two wordless tablets. If it weren't for the fall of the prison that day, Mu Hong would not have fallen to the point where he is now, when he called the government to arrest him, the next day the document accusing the two brothers of the crime flew like snowflakes, and Cai Jiu copied Dai Zong's furniture, and also laughed at the Mu family's private property. Mu Hong's old father is very old, how can he withstand this series of bad news, and he died of staggering. Now the walls of his house belong to someone else, and this person has become a lonely person in the world.

When Xue Yong came back, he introduced Hou Jian to everyone, Hou Jianzai carefully explained the details of Huang Wenbing's mansion, and everyone's hearts were cold when they saw this, and Zhang Heng, the boat fire, suddenly muttered in his heart: "This guy has scattered all his family wealth, what are you going to do?" ”

Song Jiang saw that the situation was not good, so he knelt on the ground first, and all the heroes, including Chao Gai, hurriedly knelt down and said in unison: "What is the matter with my brother (brother)?" But it's okay to say, brothers dare not listen? ”

Song Jiang said: "Xiao Ke is not talented, since he was a young official, he was a man in his first life, and he wanted to weave a good man in the world." Nai Yuan's strength is thin and sparse, and he can't receive it, so he can fulfill his life's wish. Since the stabbing with Jiangzhou, many feelings and all the heroes are looking for each other, on the road to the Xunyang River, and suffered many heroes, I don't want to be small, I was drunk and crazy for a while, and I was tired of Dean Dai's life. Thank you to all the heroes for not avoiding danger, coming to the tiger's den Longtan, and trying to save the disabled, but everyone is for Song Jiang to commit this mortal crime, today Song Jiang does not open his mouth to invite you to go to Erlongshan to join Brother Chao, but before that, there is a revenge that cannot but be avenged......"

"Revenge!" Before Song Jiang could speak, he heard Mu Hong jump up and shouted: "That dog thief just ran away, and there are still forty or fifty people here, I want them to pay for my brother's life!" ”

"That guy has run away, so don't make any more extraneous branches, it's better to leave this place of right and wrong quickly!" Zhang Heng spoke.

Mu Hong's eyes turned red when he saw this, and he shouted: "Zhang Heng, you don't have a trace of righteousness, no wonder even your brother and sister can't look down on you, if you are afraid of dying, no one will beg you, and no one will be irritated about you, but don't say that you are from the Xunyang River in the future!" ”

Zhang Heng was drunk in the sore spot in the center, and suddenly his face turned purple with anger, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at Mu Hong and said: "Go, go, if anyone is an unrighteous person, let him sink in this Xunyang River to feed Wang Ba!" (To be continued......)
