Since the wedding on the second day of February, Zhu Biao has been married to Hu Qing'e every day, like glue, and only passed the month without incident.

On this day, after the husband and wife saw off Lu Junyi and Chai Jin and their entourage, they returned to their small courtyard, and they heard a loud eagle cry overhead.

Then he saw a black dot above the sky, swooping down towards the small courtyard, and landed steadily on the thick locust branch. There are 60 of the three hundred feather insects, the most handsome Haidongqing, the autumn yellow, the wave yellow, the three-year dragon, the jade claw six-year phoenix, the jade claw six-year phoenix is the most precious; The black and white in front of him is a three-year dragon, although it is not as good as a six-year phoenix, but it is already a rare divine object.

Zhu Biao asked the maid Hongyi to take some raw beef, hang it on the branch of the locust tree, and when Hai Dongqing pecked him, he took off the bamboo tube tied to his feet.

Taking out the note in the bamboo tube, Zhu Biao glanced at it and handed it to Hu Qing'e beside him, with a faint wave in his heart, and said secretly: The plot of the main line is about to begin.

Hu Qing'e opened the note and saw that it was written: Last night, a red-haired man entered Dongxi Village at night, and this morning Wu Yong went out of Chao Gaizhuang and went to Shijie Village.

......

The green and lush mountain peaks are stacked and green, and the green is still in the mulberry and the clouds. The water flows around the lonely village on all sides, and several sparse fences along the path. Thatched eaves are beside the stream, and ancient trees become forests. Outside the fence hangs high Gu wine, willow yin idle cable fishing boat.

At sunset and dusk, a middle-aged man with a scarf on his head, a wide shirt with a collar of soap and a brown belt around his waist, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a long white beard, and a showman's dress, appeared on the pier of Shijie Village.

That Xiucai got off the boat, walked into Shijie Village with a familiar way, turned left and right along a path, and came to the courtyard gate where several thatched houses were connected on three sides. ”

The sound was heard in the hut, and a strong man wearing a torn turban, wearing an old collar, and bare feet flashed. ”

Only this Xiucai is Wu Yong, who is called Zhiduoxing on the rivers and lakes, this strong man is Tai Sui, who makes a living from fishing in Shijie Village-Ruan Xiaoer, and two brothers are called short-lived Erlang-Ruan Xiaowu, and the living Yan Luo-Ruan Xiaoqi, the three brothers have high skills and first-class water nature, and are called the three heroes of the Ruan family in Shijie Village.

Wu Yong smiled slightly and said, "Xiaosheng wants to hold a banquet, so I came to find your three brothers and get a dozen golden carps." ”

When Ruan Xiaoer heard this, he said heartily: "There are a few hotels across the lake, let's go to the lake to find Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi first, and have a few glasses of wine with the professor." ”

When the two came to the shore of Shijie Lake, Ruan Xiaoer untied a small boat, and saw Ruan Xiao's second-hand artemisia rod stirring under the water several times, and the boat sailed steadily off the shore.

Seeing this, Wu Yong only sighed with emotion: "The second brother's ability to drive a boat is really amazing to Xiaosheng. ”

Ruan Xiaoer heard this, but sighed and said: "Don't say that this small boat can be driven by the three of us brothers, but this is very useful, and it is not a living by fishing all day long." ”

Wu Yong listened to his words with the meaning of uneasiness about the status quo, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, this second brother is the most stable, even him is like this, then Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi must be even worse, just use the plan.

I only heard Wu Yong continue to lure: "There is nothing wrong with fishing for a living, although it is a little harder, but it is better to be at ease." ”

"But where did you come from, don't hide it from the professor, and now the people of our Shijie Village are about to be unable to open the pot." Ruan Xiaoer smiled bitterly.

Why is that? A few years ago, when Xiaosheng was teaching here, he saw that the livelihood of the people in the village was not bad, and he didn't know how many big fish were hidden in this huge water, how could he not open the pot? Wu asked knowingly.

"Now the big fish are in Liangshanbo, our Shijie Lake is narrow, and we can't store big fish, so if the professor wants to exceed ten catties of big fish this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"Liangshanbo is connected to Shijie Lake by a strip of water, and there are many rivers and canals connected to it, so why don't you go there to catch some big fish? But the government prohibits the fishing of fresh fish? ”

Ruan Xiaoer was about to answer, when he saw two fast boats rowed out of the reeds, and a man stood on each of the two boats, one of whom had his hands like iron rods, his eyes were like copper bells, he was wearing a turban, a pomegranate flower was inserted in his sideburns, he was wearing an old cloth shirt, and a green leopard was exposed on his chest.

One person has a pimple face, delicate eyes, pale yellow beard on the cheeks, black spots on his body, a black hat on his head, a chess piece cloth vest, and a raw cloth skirt tied around his waist.

I only heard that Ruan Xiaowu said: "Even if the lawsuit dares to ban fishing, even the Zhao official's family can't ban it, but now this Liangshanbo was occupied by a group of strongmen last year, and the leader is called Wang Lun, a white-clothed showman; the second is called touching the heavens; The third one is called Yunli King Kong Song Wan, and there is a dry land Hulu Zhu Gui below, this group of people is entrenched in Liangshanbo, and outsiders are not allowed to enter to fish, only cut off the food, clothing, and rice of the people in our Shijie Village. ”

Ruan Xiaoqi also echoed: "That guy talks about dividing gold and silver, wearing silk brocade in a strange way, eating wine in an urn, and eating meat in large pieces, but it only makes our Shijie Village cut off its livelihood!" The three of us brothers have no ability, but we have nothing to do. Don't hide it from the professor, earlier my three brothers also thought about throwing themselves into that Liangshan, but later I heard that Wang Lun's qi was small, that is, the dry land law, and now they are just a leader, and they can't sit on the chair, but the three brothers don't want to suffer that bird qi anymore. ”

When Wu Yong heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and only said: Great things have been done; But he only said: "Don't talk about this, now that everyone has arrived, let's find the hotel to eat and drink first." ”

The three Ruan brothers also nodded when they heard this, and then watched the three of them swing and row, only one row, and the three boats were together. After a pause, I arrived in front of a water pavilion hotel.

The four of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and greeted each other for most of the hour, it was already five flavors of food and three rounds of wine, Wu Yong saw that the time was ripe, and his mind turned, so he said: "Second brother, fifth brother, seventh brother, now that the times are bad and the body is difficult, have you ever thought about changing your way of living?" ”

When the three brothers heard this, they glanced at each other, and Ruan Xiaoer was the first to speak: "What is the way to live?" ”

Wu Yong smiled slightly and said, "Can the three of you know Chao Baozheng in Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County?" ”

"The name of the Heavenly King of Natota - Chao Gai, how do the three brothers not know, although they are only separated by a hundred and ten miles, but their fate is shallow, and they have never met." Ruan Xiaowu said loudly.

Wu Yong looked around the hotel, saw that no one was wandering, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Sheng has been with Na Chao Baozheng in recent years, and he often mentions the name of your three brothers, and now he has a big rich business, and I will invite you to talk." ”

When Ruan Xiaoqi heard this, he jumped up, patted his chest and said: "The three of us brothers are so hot-blooded, they are only sold to people who know the goods, and the king of Chao Tianwang can afford our three brothers, so he will come in the water and go in the fire, and he will definitely live up to his love." ”

Wu Yong saw that Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu also nodded, and said: "June 15 after March, it is the birthday of the traitor Cai Jing, his son-in-law Liang Zhongshu of the Daimyo Mansion, looted 100,000 Guan people's fat and people's ointment, as a birthday compendium, only ten months later, it will be sent to Bianliang, Tokyo, and now there is a good man called the red-haired ghost - Liu Tang came to tell him, Chao Baozheng's intention to gather a few heroes, to the mountain recess and secluded place, take this ill-gotten gain, everyone wants to live a happy life, I don't know what the three of you want?" ”

"But there is nothing to say about this, a certain three brothers went together." Ruan Xiaoer patted the case.

Ruan Xiaoqi jumped up and said: "The hope of the first life, I have returned my wish today, and I am scratching my itch, professor, when will I go?" ”

"Then ask the second brother to go back and tell the old lady, is it feasible for us to set off overnight?" Wu Yong responded.

The three brothers had nothing to say, and immediately saluted Wu with a bowl of wine, and the four of them got up and walked out of the hotel, and the three fast boats rowed across the lake, only returning to Shijie Village, and after making tea, they packed up and headed towards Dongxi Village.
