The owner of Juxian Inn advised Zeng Yu not to take the road of Jinxi, this road is only afraid that there will be a small group of bandits robbing the road, the owner suggested that Zeng Yu first go to Anren County in Raozhou Prefecture, and then decide whether to go forward or take a detour after finding out the thief situation in the direction of Guixi-

Zeng Yu remembered that he had a friend in Anren County, that is, the last time he went to Yuanzhou to make up the exam, he met the Xiucai bookseller Jian Zhen on Jinxi Road, Jian Zhen and he broke up with the West Gate of Huwan Town, and repeatedly told him to let him go back to Guangxin Mansion to visit him in Anren County after the make-up examination, Anren County and Yingtanfang are next to each other, and it is only a hundred miles more than Jinxi Road, the New Year is approaching, safety first, Zeng Yu decided to follow the advice of the innkeeper: go to Anren County first.

Early in the morning of the fourth day of the lunar month, Zeng Yu had a full meal, and the black beans on the mount were also fed enough forage, and asked the store for a jujube stick right as a self-defense, this time he came to Fenyi did not carry the iron sword left by his uncle, farewell to the store, rode out of Linchuan City, crossed the Xujiang River in the afternoon, and came to Huwan Town in the evening, the people of Huwan Town lived and worked in peace and contentment, and were not harassed by the Ji'an bandits, but there were many fewer booksellers who came to buy books.

The shopkeeper of Xianqi Inn has a good memory, and he still has an impression of Zeng Yu, congratulations to Zeng Yu for becoming a minister, and said that Jian Xiucai only comes to Huwan once a year, and he has been here in May, and he will not come again within the year.

That night, Zeng Yu rested at the Xianqi Inn, and also bought a letter of thirty volumes of "Zhen Ze Collection", "Zhen Ze Collection" is the Chenghua period of Xie Yuan, Hui Yuan, Tanhua Wang Wei's anthology, Wang Wei is a master of ancient literature, but also a famous eight-strand writer, Wang Wei's eight-strand text is very substantial, worth figuring out and learning, this is the book that Huang Tixue asked Zeng Yu to read.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Zeng Yu left Huwan and went north, the weather that has been sunny and good finally became cloudy, it seems that the second snow of this year is coming down soon, Zeng Yu stayed overnight, although he was in a hurry, but he also cherished black beans, and when he encountered the rugged road, he got off the horse and trotted forward with black beans, which is also to strengthen his body, otherwise he would ride on horseback all day long and his hands and feet would be cold-

On the morning of the seventh day of the first month, Zeng Yu entered the boundary of Anren County, which is still more than 50 miles away from Anren County, under the dense clouds, but saw that Cangshan is surrounded by vast fields, the weather is cold and the grass is dry, the wind is blowing, and there are few pedestrians on the road, Zeng Yu rode on horseback and was blown by the cold wind and shivered, so he dismounted and led the black bean to walk quickly, bowed slightly, and let the black bean block the wind for him, the black bean is a Mongolian horse, not afraid of the cold -

After a journey, passing through a small village, Zeng Yu borrowed a bowl of hot tea from the people next to the road, asked the road to the county seat, and continued on the road, in front of which is Qiligang, which is the mountain road between two hills, the cold forest and the grass are decaying, the black crow of the deserted grave, Zeng Yu walked away with one horse and one horse, and small snowflakes began to float in the air, Zeng Yu patted the neck of the black bean and said: "Man, it's snowing again, go faster." The Mongolian horse snorted, and sure enough, it quickened its pace.

About to walk out of the Qiligang Mountain Road, suddenly saw four men coming to him, all wrapped in cotton clothes, wearing bearded hats, the brim of the hat was pressed very low, Zeng Yu saw that these four men came strangely, there seemed to be something hidden in the sleeves in his arms, and his heart was vigilant, quietly holding the jujube stick on the horse's back, ready to take off the enemy at any time-

When the two sides were about to stagger and pass by, Zeng Yu took the horse to stand on the side, letting the four men go first, but when he saw the four men winking at each other, he suddenly surrounded Zeng Yu on three sides, took out the short stick in his sleeve, the axe and the firewood knife in his arms, and shouted with horizontal eyebrows:

"King Wu of Ji'an, King Wu of Ji'an."

"King Wu buys road money here"

"King Wu is here, leave horses and belongings, spare your little life"

Zeng Yu was about to speak, and suddenly heard the wind in the back of his head, and a firewood knife slashed at the back of his neck, and he couldn't help but be extremely angry, these four people not only robbed money, but also wanted his life, hurriedly took a step forward, holding a jujube stick and poking it back at the same time, and was poking the chest of the man holding the firewood knife, the man's firewood knife split the air, and his body staggered backwards, his chest was tight, and he bowed and gasped-

Zeng Yu hated this man for being vicious, so he turned around and swept with a stick, and the man holding the firewood knife was swept by a strong stick on his neck, screaming in pain, and immediately fell to the ground.

The other three men never expected that this young show would be able to do martial arts, and they were a little panicked for a while, Zeng Yu would be polite, the jujube stick or split or sweep, and after a while, he knocked down two more, and his feet were not idle, he kicked over one, and waved the wooden stick to break the calf bones of the four men-

Zeng Yu saw that these four people did not look like the accent of Ji'an, but very similar to the accent of Yingtan and Guixi, so he knocked on the head of one of the men with a stick and asked, "Where are you thieves?" ”

The man's snot and tears all fell, and he shouted: "The villain is not a thief, he is really a good local citizen, he offended the father-in-law, spare his life, spare his life." ”

Zeng Yu said angrily: "You are robbing the road here, and you want to kill me, what is this not a robber and a thief?" ”

The four men begged Zeng Yu to spare them, they were indeed local people, just because their families were poor, they heard that King Wu of Ji'an was robbing his house on the side of Guixi, so he wanted to fish in troubled waters and rob some property to celebrate the New Year......

Zeng Yu sneered in his heart, what kind of family is poor, idle and lazy, these scoundrels like the chaos in the world the most, so that they can not be bound by the criminal law to do evil, especially hateful is that these four people are not only blocking the road to buy money, but also want to make money and kill people, if he is not vigilant, he was chopped to death by a firewood knife, and then these people robbed his horses and property and fled, the government really thought that there was a small group of Ji'an bandits who flowed here to rob money and kill people, didn't he have nine carp died in vain, and his mother didn't cry and blind his eyes when he hoped for her son's return?

The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became, the more angry I became, Zeng Yu held a jujube stick with one hand and slashed the head and covered the face, beating the four thieves to roll all over the ground, and the ghost cried wolf. ”

This person was frightened by Zeng Yu, and said in fear: "The villain is from Lijia Village on the other side of the mountain." ”

Zeng Yu asked: "Are the other three also from Lijia Village?" ”

The man said, "They are from Shaojia Village." ”

Zeng Yu asked, "What are the names of the three of them?" ”

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Shao Da, Shao Xiaoer, Shao Xiaosan." ”

Zeng Yu knocked heavily on the door of the man's face with a stick, broke the man's front teeth twice, and shouted: "You dare to deceive, I will beat you to death today" Swing the stick to beat again-

The man hugged his head and shouted: "Don't fight, don't fight, they are from the Zou family on the ridge, named Zou Wuhan, Zou Fagao, and Zou Fugui." ”

Another man shouted: "He is not from Aijia Village, he is from the Wu family behind the mountain, and his name is Wu Niu'er." ”

This should be the truth, Zeng Yu kicked the firewood knife man again, and shouted: "Four dog thieves, wait to be in prison." "Led the mount black bean to be in a hurry, only to find that the black bean's front leg near the neck is dripping blood, look carefully, there is a three-inch long scar, this should be when he fought with the four thieves, the knife and axe of the four thieves injured the black bean, quickly took the end of Tian Qiyao to give the black bean to stop bleeding and heal, seeing that the blood stopped, turned around and kicked the four thieves a few times, tore off the placket of one of the thieves to bandage the wound of the black bean, led the black bean out of the Qili Gang, inspected the wound of the black bean, fortunately, there was no blood oozing out, this Tian Qifen has a strong hemostatic function.

At this time, the snow was falling heavier and heavier, and large snowflakes hit his face, as if to stop Zeng Yu from moving forward.

Zeng Yu put on a cloak, put on a bamboo hat, led the black beans in the snow, walked seven or eight miles, and arrived at a small village in Wuqiao, most of the villagers in Wuqiao Village were surnamed Ai, Zeng Yu found the chief of Wuqiao Village, explained the situation of the thief, and asked Ai Jia to lead a few villagers to carry the four thieves on the other side of Qiligang to the county seat to hand over to the government for disposal-

Ai Jia Chang saw that he was robbed by a talented man, and fortunately he was safe and sound, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately brought a dozen or so sturdy villagers to rush there, and an hour later, the four thieves were carried back, Zeng Yu heard that some villagers scolded the four thieves, it seems that these four thieves pretended to be Ji'an thieves and also went to the dock bridge to harass-

Zeng Yu had lunch at Ai Jiachang's house, and after the meal, Ai Jia Chang called a villager to drive an ox cart and send the four thieves to the county, and Ai Jia Chang also followed, and Zeng Yu of course also went with him.
