Chapter 45 Temporary Workers

Less than ten miles away from the Liang Zhongshu barracks, I ran into someone in the way, and the foreign buns from Tokyo looked at each other and felt very fresh.

The eunuch carefully looked at the more than 20 people, and saw that they were wearing the clothes and armor of the official army, pressing the bow and crossbow one by one, their eyes showed a fierce light, and they were eager to try, so they couldn't help sneering and shouted: "Everyone else is bold, and they are all brave; You thieves are bold, but you are bold! Pretending to be an official soldier and attacking the angels of the court, how big a crime is this? If you don't get bound early......"

Before the words fell, an arrow of "whoosh" flew and shot right on the hair bun of the eunuch who delivered the message. The two sides are very close to each other, and the bow and arrow point where to hit, and there is no need to have the ability to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps.

This arrow seems to be a signal to do it, after the first arrow, followed by the arrow like a flying locust, the angels of the court complained one by one, and more than ten people were shot off the horse, or in the shoulder, or in the thigh, although it is not fatal, but for these pampered guys, it is a bitter suffering.

Seeing that this group of strongmen threw down their bows and crossbows, drew their bright swords and rushed straight up, the eunuch's broken throat suddenly became good, and he shouted: "Little ones, quickly protect me and run!" ”

A group of former lieutenants under him just received a very heavy gift from Liang Zhongshu, and they still have to enjoy this life on Huahua Shijie, where are they willing to fight with the strong people here casually? Listening to the eunuch Lunyin, one by one they rejoiced and admired, believed in it, and surrounded the eunuchs with hairpins and arrows on their heads, and ran back the same way as the wind swept away with the momentum of stealing the midnight bell with lightning speed.

In an instant, there was only a lonely prisoner car left on the road, crying for his father's injuries and his mother's injuries, and a group of fierce and vicious strongmen.

Suo Chao was dumbfounded at first, but now he finally reacted, pointing to the big man led by the strong man and said, "Zhou Jin, it's you?!" ”

The big man jumped off the horse and fell to the ground: "The master is above, and the little brother is tired of the master's kindness, and he has never repaid it, so how can these villains catch the master?" I can't say it, so I have to be bold and nonsense! ”

Suo Chao slapped on the bottom of the cage and scolded: "You are really against heaven and earth!" You are a deputy in the army, and now you have done such a big adverse thing, but where is the grace of the minister? ”

Zhou Jin said: "The master can see clearly, these birds and men, the younger brother didn't kill any of them, just a bluff, they all learned the shit Kelang, and the group got out." As long as you don't die, stay at the minister's place, are you still afraid that you won't be able to deal with it? ”

Suo Chao was speechless. At this time, other soldiers controlled the whole scene, and they also came over and knelt down and said: "Ti Zhi usually treats us well, and a few days ago he brought the villains out of the Liangshan camp, and he also shared the money with us, and today he is willing to repay him with death!" ”

Zhou Jin urged: "Master, this place is close to the camp, but it is not a place to speak, we are still walking in a cage!" ”

Suo Chao sighed and said, "You have collided with such a catastrophe, and you have to do it!" ”

As he spoke, Suo Chao stood up in the cage, supported his arms on the wooden fences on the left and right of the cage, and with a shout, he forcibly broke the thick wooden purlins. The left and right people waited for their hands and feet, pulling the wood stubble open, Suo Chao jumped out of the bad cage, under the sunshine, although the reckless man also had the feeling of being a human being in two lives.

However, at this time, he didn't care about lamenting the impermanence of life, Suo Chao bowed three times in the direction of the camp, got up and said, "Go!" A group of men dragged their horses out of the woods by the roadside and drove away.

After a short time, the angry eunuch who passed the edict was in the lead, followed by Liang Zhongshu and the second eunuch of Gongdao, and led a group of mighty men and horses to the scene of the incident. Seeing the broken wooden cage, although Liang Zhongshu was a little annoyed in his heart, he was nine points happy, but he didn't show it on his face, and still said lightly: "Where are the hundreds of bold robbers?" ”

In order to cover up their incompetence, the eunuchs talked more and more about Zhou Jin's more than 20 people, and later, they seemed to be outnumbered, loyal to the king, and killed a contemporary Zhao Zilong who was seven in and seven out in the siege of the strongman. It's just that manpower is difficult to overcome, the thieves are powerful, and they come out to answer the people, so they have to break through the encirclement and make a strategic turn, so that they have the opportunity to coerce reinforcements to make a comeback.

The people who can follow the eunuch to make this beautiful trip are all smart people, and when they heard that Liang Zhongshu set the tone for this robbery case "hundreds of robbers", their hearts suddenly brightened. The guys who were injured and fell to the scene immediately echoed: "Everyone! The gang of robbers of several hundred people came to meet the men and horses again, and more than 1,000 people wrapped up Nasuo Chao and went in that direction. ”

Wenda Li Cheng glanced at the footprints on the ground, looked at each other, and secretly sneered.

Liang Zhongshu said slowly: "Oh? More than 1,000 thieves are not trivial, but the Qin criminals must be captured. Wenda, you lead five hundred men and horses first; Li Cheng, you will lead another 500 people to respond, and you will definitely find Suo Chao's house! ”

Hearing that Li Cheng responded like a thunderstorm, he went to slowly order the soldiers and horses, and after most of the day, the two of them were all together, and the two supervisors said goodbye: "Brother Wen, you lead the team forward, but you must be careful to beware, don't fall into the enemy ambush." ”

Wen Da also said: "Brother Li Xian, you are behind the army, but you must pick up the missing and make up for it, carefully check it, and don't let the thieves leak out." ”

The two of them didn't wait a long time, and then led the people and horses to go slowly.

At this time, the eunuch who had already received the latest information from the wounded man bumped into him violently. With the support of the second superintendent of the palace road, the sharp qi that was shot short by an arrow was congested and grew a lot, and he pointed at Liang Zhongshu and shouted: "Liang Zhongshu, my people can hear clearly, it was Zhou Jin, the deputy soldier in your army, who robbed Suo Chao!" And those thieves, they are all idlers in your army! This crime of lax military management, when I return to Tokyo, the official family will argue with you! ”

Xu Ning and Zhang Qing, the Qin prisoners who were escorted last time, were robbed, and the escorts were unlucky, except for those who were killed on the spot, they were either confiscated or distributed. The eunuch was afraid that he would follow in the footsteps of the martyrs, even if Liang Zhongshu was Cai Jing's son-in-law, he couldn't care about it at this time, and put all the guilt on Liang's head, and then wash himself first.

Liang Zhongshuyun said lightly: "Zhou Jin? Lieutenant Army? Is there such a person in my Daimyo's army? ”

Liang Weisuo, the housekeeper beside him, sneered, stepped forward and said unhurriedly: "Lord Hui, Zhou Jin, this person is real!" ”

The eunuch of the decree perked up and shouted: "The two eunuchs of the palace road, you have also heard it with your own ears!" This gang of robbers has nothing to do with Liang Zhongshu, and they really don't do my business! ”

The second eunuch of Gong Dao said pretendedly: "The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, but this is no wonder the adults left behind......" Although they were talking about the scene of human feelings, but legally, they secretly sat Liang Zhongshu to death.

The housekeeper Liang Weisuo secretly sneered again, and said calmly: "Ladies and gentlemen, although this week is from the deputy officer of my Daimyo Mansion Army, he is a temporary worker who has long been dismissed - two or three years ago, in the big competition in front of the Dongguo Army in Beijing, he lost to a man named Yang Zhi, how can he be retained if he is not familiar with bows and horses and is not skilled in martial arts?" Since then, the left-behind minister has expelled him from our glorious Great Song team. Everyone knows about this in the Daimyo's Mansion, but it is not made by the villain, if you don't believe it, Beijing will know it as soon as you inquire about it. ”

The three eunuchs looked at each other and were speechless for a while.

Liang Zhongshu asked with a smile: "Three fathers-in-law, according to the practice of our Celestial Empire, what this temporary worker does has nothing to do with the officials, right?" ”

The overseer of the decree was exhausted, and muttered: "This ...... It's true, but ......"

Liang Zhongshu said categorically: "But these temporary workers are so bold that they dare to hurt their father-in-law's head, my aunt can't bear it!" It is inevitable that they will be taken back and interrogated severely, otherwise they will not be able to combat the arrogance of these thieves! ”

The eunuch passed on the fighting method in the cracks, and immediately grabbed the flaws in Liang Zhongshu's words: "Okay! This is what you said, Lord Liang, you must take back all the thieves and interrogate them severely, if you can't hold them, you are the only one who asks! ”

Liang Zhongshu said: "My father-in-law's words are wrong! ”

The eunuch said angrily: "What's the difference between our family? ”

Liang Zhongshu said: "The official family issued an edict, the Privy Council issued a document, and the official was transferred to exterminate the Huyan rebels, this is the matter of the official!" At that time, Zhou Jin was a local rogue, and it was the responsibility of the Qingzhou magistrate to calm the bandits and protect the territory and the people. The father-in-law almost ate the thief today, and he should have summoned the Qingzhou prefect to summon him, take heavy responsibility, take time, and order his people to arrest the thief within a time limit. Today, for the sake of the father-in-law's face, the official risked the loss of the soldiers and sent his two soldiers and horses to arrest the thief. ”

When the eunuch heard the edict, he was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he beat his chest and said: "Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou, has already called Liangshan Ximenqing to kill!" Qingzhou is now occupied by the Huyan rebels, and the new prefect court cannot be delegated yet - where do you tell me to summon the prefect of Qingzhou?! ”

Liang Zhongshu said reasonably: "And after asking my father-in-law to return to Beijing, I will tell the official family that the road in Qingzhou is not quiet, and there must be a prefect to act on it, and then ask the new prefect to shoulder the burden of catching thieves, isn't it a public and private penny?" ”

The palace eunuch listened to Liang Zhongshu's clever tongue, and the eunuch rolled his eyes, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with white foam, lest someone die on the avenue, so he hurriedly relieved his anger for the eunuch who passed the decree: "This road is not a place to speak, and go back to the camp first, and think about it in the long run, maybe when Wenda and Li Cheng returned, they had already captured the thief, and it is not known." ”

The eunuch had already understood the benefits and disadvantages of Liang Zhongshu's mouth, and he didn't dare to let go of it with others again, and after returning to the camp with everyone with a sad face, he secretly prayed to the gods and Buddhas: "Amitabha! Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Then I promised 3,000 scriptures and 800 temples, and blessed to catch the temporary worker! "This is exactly what it is:

Whatever you do, there will always be a temporary worker. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
