Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Siege of the Cottage (II)

"Ha, ha, ha."

After a barrage of laughter.

Without waiting for Li Qiusheng to answer, Di Jinyan rushed out of front and laughed loudly.

"Shopkeeper He, you can't hate us as Green Forest people so much. When Li Gongzi gave you the 'gold ingot', why didn't you see you say such ruthless words. Now that things are going to get up, you will change your face, you go back and tell Lord He and Liu Daban that this matter has nothing to do with you, and if you want to take the food back, you call them to come by themselves. ”

After that, there was a snapping string, and a sharp arrow shot straight at the ground at the feet of the shopkeeper He, scaring the shopkeeper He half to death.

Here, the shopkeeper He was robbed of white and pretentious by Di Jinyan, and immediately hugged his head and ran away.

Later, Lord He and Liu Dapang saw it clearly, knowing that Shopkeeper He and it was impossible for him to be one of the thieves in Anle Village, and it was impossible for him to join forces with Li Qiusheng to deceive his distant cousin. I had to give the order to go down, tighten the ranks, and fight and retreat.

A war of grain and grass that wanted to be recovered through the 'peace negotiations' of the shopkeeper He ended in a sinister manner, and Lord He and Liu Dapang were suddenly so angry that their faces were like purple generals of the defeated army, and they walked listlessly on the ancient road back to the official office of Gulan Town.

Shopkeeper He stretched out his head from the cage next to him and muttered to Lord He, who was in a frustrated and flustered mood. "Old cousin, you have to believe me this time, am I an accomplice of Li Qiusheng and the thieves in Anle Village? In fact, I was also deceived by them, and I was in a hurry to help you with the food and grass that had accumulated in my hands. Who knew that we had fallen for the fool of such a traitor, and our brothers not only lost a large amount of grain and grass, but also lost a lot of silver. The worst thing is to almost ruin our years of brotherhood, suspicion of each other, and killing each other. We have to avenge this revenge! ”

Master He replied with a pair of heads, "Yes, having said that, but how can you do it to break this thief?" Besides, the court recidivist Li Qiusheng is among them, and it would be a miracle if he was caught by us. The two cancel each other, and we can be regarded as offsetting each other, and there is no danger. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and we still fell into the trap set by Li Qiusheng and An Lezhai. ”

In order not to incur the accusations of Lord He, Liu Dapang still cautiously accompanied. "Lord Ho is right. If Li Qiusheng and An Le Zhai don't get rid of each other, we won't be at peace for a day. If the court chases after the generals, the two of us will definitely be guilty of the crime, and we will die innocently. The most hateful thing is that we have been operating the grain storage method for so many years, once the waterfall light comes, it will come to the disaster of extermination, and it will even implicate the two major families of the current dynasty, 'Deputy Prime Minister Lei' and 'Liang Wangfu'. At that time, it is not a pity for the two of us to die, but it is just cheaper for Li Qiusheng's kid. ”

"Hey, hey, don't say dead words at every turn, I don't think the situation is as serious as you say." Shopkeeper He said from the perspective of a rice shop owner, and then said to Lord He almost in despair, "Old cousin, you better let me go first, it's not good to squat in the cage like this." ”

"Well, Master He, Shopkeeper He is right. You just let go of the shopkeeper first, things are clear, you still have to wronged him like this, it can't be justified, after all, our brotherhood for many years is still there. Liu Da Pang suddenly said with a pretext, after all, he had always thought that Shopkeeper He had not done anything sorry for brotherhood, and that there would be outsiders to deceive him.

Under Liu Dapang's sad and bitter words, Lord He, who was walking in front, turned around, looked at the shopkeeper He who was tired of sleeping in the cage, and made his debut angrily. "Although this matter has nothing to do with you, it is you who caused this mess. You have suffered this point, and if the old cousin is investigated above, I can give you an explanation. Do you think I'm just a tendon brain? Old cousin, I have thought about your future path, but you don't understand my mind. ”

Shopkeeper He was so bluntly said by his old cousin Lord He, and the face that was begging with a dead face just now suddenly wilted. In fact, what Lord He said is not wrong, he He shopkeeper suffered from this, if he is investigated from above in the future, at least he can show in front of others that He and Liu did not bend the law for personal gain, and the fox friend is a traitor. Thinking about it like this, even Liu Dapang on the side was embarrassed to mention the matter of releasing the shopkeeper He first.

Liu Dapang had to come up and said with a bitter face. "Shopkeeper He, you can bear with it for the time being. This is in the limelight, and Lord He also did it for the good of his brothers. ”

Shopkeeper He didn't say anything more, his face was frustrated, he nodded and stayed in the cage tiredly.

Besides, An Le Zhai was so surprised by Lord He and Liu Dapang to lead the troops, although there was no mistake, but it reminded Li Qiusheng and Old Man Dong.

Even if you want to change your evil ways and take a path of self-reliance, the officials will not let you rest at this time. colluded with the bandits and robbers of the green forest, and the future life was miserable.

Things got out of control so much that the two wanted to go but couldn't. I want to stay, but I am unwilling. Besides, this pavilion is another three or four months. Now what's going on with Dong Yanzhi in the capital? Li Qiusheng and Old Man Dong were confused and had no way of knowing.

At this time, the hearts of the two of them were simply terrible, and they were in a mess.

"It's easy to see when you don't see it, but if you say goodbye in a hurry today, you don't know when you can see each other."

"Brother Qiusheng, Yan Zhi's heart hurts so much. If it weren't for Yan Zhi's burden, you wouldn't have to. ”

Dong Yanzhi's heart-wrenching words once again lingered in Li Qiusheng's heart.

Through the longing and helplessness in the sky, this heart-wrenching pain spread all the way.

The father and daughter of the Golden Knife Ke and the men and women of Anle Village didn't care about this, after all, they were used to living the days of bandits and robbers in the green forest. Even if the government imposed the accusation that the sky had fallen on them for no reason, they were still living happily. Therefore, it is difficult for people with different positions to stick to the agreement. In the middle of this, there will always be something that is so unhappy. or forbearance, bewilderment, it will become the glue of seasoning life.

It's just that in these past days, there has always been a doubt buried in the heart of the Golden Swordman. is pinching that fish-shaped jade match and always thinking of a person for no reason, a person who lived in his heart more than 20 years ago. And from Li Qiusheng's body, you can always see the shadow of that person who has been silent in his heart for many years. But the Golden Knife Man was never sure what the relationship between Li Qiusheng and the shadow that had been buried in his heart for more than twenty years had anything in common.

But occasionally seeing Di Jinyan sticking to Li Qiusheng with a strip of water, the heart of the golden knife man tightened again. Even if Old Man Dong was already standing beside him and waiting for him to talk, the Golden Knife Ke didn't seem to feel the presence of others coming to him. This made Old Man Dong very embarrassed, and Old Man Dong always said jokingly. "Brother Jin, I want to give up, so distracted. Be careful, don't be stabbed in the back by someone else, and your life will be at risk. ”

"Ha, ha, my life is not guaranteed, how can Brother Dong's life be saved? In this way, it is not a hard life. The golden knife man smiled bitterly, as if he couldn't help it.

Besides, Lord He and Liu Dapang returned to Gulan Town with the officers and soldiers who failed to sneak attack, and they couldn't swallow this bitter breath in their hearts, and they were even more anxious to turn around and lie restless.

Seeing that it was about to come to the day when the grain would be handed over to the treasury, Lord He finally said to Liu Dapang fiercely, "Brother Liu, why don't we three brothers put this looted grain and grass on the mat first, and then think about it later." ”

Liu Dapang didn't answer directly, he rolled his eyes, and said with a fierce look at the shopkeeper He on the side. "Shopkeeper He, it's up to you, you have to be thoughtful about the food and grass. The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while, which is the truth. ”

Shopkeeper He was shocked, and he was so anxious that he looked at He Liu and the others without saying a word. But he secretly hated in his heart, "Old fox, all his grandmother's are old foxes." As soon as there is something, let Lao Tzu fill it in, and when he is fine, he is like a terrible ghost who picks up the skin, takes it and takes it, peels it off and peels it again, and puts it all in his pocket. Those chicken ribs, gnawed off the leftover bones are all stuffed into Lao Tzu's body, do you think Lao Tzu is specialized in collecting copper and iron. ”

Hate is hate, but Shopkeeper He still put on a happy look and said. "The two adults are so decisive, isn't it in vain to kill the younger brother. Although the younger brother has the heart to help, how can he be tight on hand, and he is also powerless. Besides, I only earned a few dollars in the hands of the two adults, and it wasn't enough to lose all of them? How is this good? ”

Without waiting for Lord He to speak, Liu Dapang glared at him and said angrily to Shopkeeper He, "Since Shopkeeper He is tight, then we have to do business, don't say that the brothers are unkind and unjust." ”

When Shopkeeper He heard this, he wanted to argue about something. At this time, Lord He pretended to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth. "Okay, don't make any noise. I think it's better to report this matter to Vice Minister Lei and Liang Wangfu, if there is something for them to support, so that we don't have to make noise here and hurt the harmony of the brothers. ”

"That's right, we should have reported this matter to Vice Minister Lei and Liang Wangfu a long time ago. First, it exempts us from the fault of dereliction of responsibility, and secondly, it is not our fault that such thieves come to rob grain under the banner of the imperial court. Liu Dapang immediately slapped his thigh and said, as if he had really found some clever plan at this time.

However, at this time, the shopkeeper stretched out his hand and asked, "What about me?" What's wrong? ”

He Liu and the others immediately replied in unison, "God knows." You, just wait for the court to deal with it. ”

With a pair of pitiful eyes, Shopkeeper He immediately collapsed to the ground again.

Outside the post, the eight hundred miles of fast riding flew out and rushed straight in the direction of the capital.

Ten days later, a general led his troops to come, holding the royal banner, and rushed directly to Gulan Town with a large group of men.

The pennant is gray and potassium, covering the sky and the sun. The military power vibrates, mighty.

With a shout, he rushed straight to Anle Village under the stone peak of Gulian Mountain.
