It turned out that Wu Song and Xiao Er defeated Huang An and went back to the cottage to report. Chao Gai discussed with Song Jiang, seeing that the official army was strong, although Brother Liangshan was not afraid, but if he wanted to make a big move, he would inevitably kill and injure more, whether it was the people of Liangshan, the official army and the forbidden army, the box soldiers, and the township soldiers, they were all the children of the people, and the locals were the majority. But I also thought that if I had just taught the officers and soldiers a little lesson, the leader of the troops would have been able to go back and brag and falsely report his military exploits. But just now, Wu Song and Xiao Er made a big show, and the officers and soldiers lost their troops, and they were embarrassed, so where could Huang An still deceive? must add fuel and vinegar to say that there are many people in Liangshan, and Uncle Zhang is bound to come to conquer and suppress in person at night, and the cottage has to prepare for the vigorous recruitment and suppression of the official army. Chao Gai went to use some means to show his majesty to the officials and soldiers, and was ready to make peace and retreat to the officials and soldiers again.

Unexpectedly, Chao Gai was hit by an arrow, and the incident was very special, but fortunately he died immediately, and he reluctantly returned to the mountain, so he called Qi Songjiang and other brothers, repeated the preface, put down the words, no matter whether he lived or died, he wanted the brothers to disperse and return to the field, and he and Uncle Zhang agreed on the matter at night.

Shu Ye saw that a great battle between the officers and soldiers and Liangshan disappeared into invisibility, and the people were finally saved from the misery of life, and he was greatly relieved. Seeing Chao Gai's life in a moment, he couldn't help but be desolate: "Chao Gai hurt a lot of people just now, but his hands and feet were broken, and none of them were worried about their lives, even if they were left behind, they didn't have any waste, but they really left enough way out." Fortunately, this person still has a breath of air, leaving such a will. If he dies suddenly, where the righteousness of the rest of the people lies, there will be no end to the enmity with the government, let alone a personal enmity with me, which will inevitably lead to endless troubles. Looking at it this way, Chao Gai is really a great character! I saw that he was arrogant at the time, and he was indignant for a while, and he shot with a bow, which was really reckless."

Shu Ye was ashamed in his heart, raised his eyes and saw Chao Gai's eyes, and asked anxiously at the end of his life, knowing that he cared too much, and hurriedly replied: "The master of Chao Zhai can send all the brothers back to the field today, but Uncle Zhang will be here in the future, so that the brothers and their families will not be in trouble, and everything will be borne by him." Draw an arrow and break it in two: "If you violate this word, you will be such an arrow." The owner of Chaozhai is worried about people first, and he regrets and admires it. The lord of Chaozhai is hurt by me, today's major event is over, but there are people who are not angry, you can find Uncle Ye to settle the account. Chao Gai seemed to be greatly relieved, and resolutely said: "Chao Gai is seeking to solve today's knot, and there are brothers who seek revenge from Lord Zhang, because they see that I can't afford it."

Wu Yong saw that Chao Gai was struggling to speak, and couldn't help but say: "Our brother had an incident, because it was unfair and the government was heavily taxed and unreasonably oppressed. In today's world, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are full of yamen, ruffians and bullies are rampant in the townships, the people are suffering, and all the people are suffering. We and other grass people had no choice but to come out on their own, and it was good to let out a bad breath, but we did it with a conscience. When Lord Zhang led the army to come, we were also very angry, and the officials and masters didn't care about how many injustices in the world, but after we took care of them, they came to blame them. We act as the banner says, 'Do the right thing for heaven, eliminate violence and peace and goodness', and we are very reasonable, and we are not afraid of Lord Zhang coming to scold. I am afraid that Lord Zhang is also unreasonable, in order to prevent his father and fellow villagers from being offended, the owner of Chao Zhai and the owner of Song Zhai have already planned to stop and dismiss the brothers to return to the field. If the government is entangled in the end, we might as well accompany it to the end. The master of Chaozhai finally persuaded the brothers, and then used a little means to find a step to walk down decently, not wanting Lord Zhang to be clever in archery, and the master of Chaozhai couldn't resist it. Brother Chao forced himself back to the mountain, afraid that there would be no words from him, the brothers were determined to take revenge, and the family would be married forever, so he begged Lord Zhang to drive up the mountain in vain, begging for mercy and demand, this matter is feasible and best, if it is not feasible, it is reluctant. ”

Uncle Ye was angry when he heard what Wu Yong said, and he was ashamed. But wherever thieves are rampant, there are few clean officials, and they are all forced by the government, so the people are the only ones who take action, and the basis of rehabilitation lies in the administration and officials. It is a pity that the immediate death of Chao Gai is imminent, and if the disaster of war is eliminated because of this, Chao Gai is indeed a great merit. Chao Gai lost his life and did not complain, I should not be weak in this person, and I will eventually succeed in the end, and bear the hardships and hardships in the future. So he took a step closer to Chao Gai, hugged his fists and said: "The master of Chao Village only needs to dismiss the brothers and return to the field, and I should fight to protect the brothers and deal with injustices." Before the words were over, Chao Gai said "good, good", and he died of anger, and the Juyi Hall immediately sobbed.

Chao Gai is gone, everyone is sad, there is no more king of Tota in the poor world, only the mountains are quiet, the pines and cypresses are solemn, the reeds are nodding, and the lake is quiet.

After the burial of Chao Gai, the Song Jiang brothers were about to leave Liangshanzhai and return to the countryside, Wu Song, Ruan Xiaoer, Lu Zhishen, Li Kui and others were indignant, and they all said: "Brother Chao Gai is gone, we will not take revenge, we will go home to celebrate our birthday, how can I be safe?" ”

Song Jiang said: "Brother Chao Gai just wants us to celebrate our birthday." When he was in the air, he said, when we started an incident, the government sent local township soldiers to suppress it, all of them were children of various villages, and the two clashed with each other, and there were countless casualties, ranging from dozens of people to hundreds or thousands. The so-called success of one will be ten thousand bones, and in the end, hundreds of thousands of horses will inevitably face each other, with rivers of blood and bones. Losing naturally doesn't help, but what about winning? I don't dare to say that the government is better than the current imperial court. We didn't want to be promoted and make a fortune, let alone be emperors. Besides, there are not many families who are happy to follow, and they may be implicated at any time. ”

Li Kui said: "At that time, it would be good to let Brother Chao Gai be the emperor!" ”

Song Jiang smiled astringently and said: "If our brother has the ambition to seize the country, it is naturally Brother Chao Gai to be the emperor, but unfortunately he doesn't have this mind, he just resents the government's misdeeds in making public fields, so he is determined to cause trouble." ”

Wu Song said: "We got into trouble because of the Gongtian Law, Uncle Zhang shot Brother Chao Gai to death at night, and promised to be as thoughtful as possible, he should speak and count." If there are any more waves in the Gongtian Law, it must not be counted, and Brother Chao Gai cannot die in vain. ”

Besides, Uncle Night, Chao Gai had passed away, and Liangshan was peaceful, so he ordered to withdraw the besieged soldiers, let go of everyone's family members, stop the taxes related to Shuibo and Gongtian, and return to Beijing to resume his life with Zhekecun. Cai Jing and his younger brother Cai Bian have an old relationship with Ruan Fei, and they know that Chao Gai Song Jiang and others are Ruan Fei's disciples, which is somewhat close, and Tong Guan and others do not want to make a big splash on the anger of the people in Gongtian, and they are happy to settle the matter, Chao Gai is dead, and the matter has since subsided.

The brothers of the family strictly obeyed the instructions of the elder brother of the king, and then dealt with the official family as much as possible, and acted cautiously, so that after more than a year, Zhang Shuye was also transferred to leave Jeju, and the new Jeju prefect had another wind and grass on the collection of lake taxes.

On this day, Wu Song was teaching his apprentices martial arts, and suddenly a small servant of the Chao Gai family came desperately: "The second master of Wu is not good, and the officials and soldiers transported the Huashigang of Mount Tai from the Wuzhang River to cross the Dongxi Bridge, because the bridge is too narrow, and it will be demolished." Uncle Chao's house sitting on the top of the bridge can't stay, and it is bound to be demolished. Wu Song was so frightened when he heard that he was scared out of the sky, and said in his heart: "Brother Chao Gai is gone, Uncle Chao was bullied and wanted to be stoned to death in the house, where do the brothers still have the face to live again?" ”

rushed all the way over, and saw Chao Gai's daughter-in-law crying and crying, distressed and complaining: "Sister-in-law, this doesn't recognize these people as brothers, and she doesn't say hello earlier!" Chao Gai's daughter-in-law pointed to the bridgehead house and cried even more.

Wu Song looked at a few officers and soldiers standing on the house, and an officer-like officer pointed and pointed, it should be the envoy in charge of transportation, so he yelled at the man: "Wait and get down, and if you dare to tear down a piece of bricks and tiles, no one will be allowed to live!" At this time, Ruan Xiaoer had also rushed to the courtyard, and Wu Song glanced at each other, the two of them understood, Xiao Er rushed into the house, Wu Song jumped up, and climbed onto the roof.

When the officer saw that someone dared to stop him, he couldn't help but be furious: "Who are you, you dare to block the transportation of Huashigang, obviously you don't want to die!" Wu Song said: "Build a game to watch and play, work hard and lose money, demolish the bridge and pick up the house, people say that building a house and building a bridge is all about accumulating yin virtue, and demolishing the bridge and building a house are not afraid of losing yin virtue?" ”

The officer was furious: "The transportation of Huashi Gang is the emperor's own order, I see who dares to stop it!" Wu Song couldn't help sneering: "You can do things for the imperial court and not let people live?" There are people below who want to demolish the house, do you dare not stop? ”

The envoy said, "He himself is impatient, and he can't come out of it, and he complains about me?" Wu Song's face was gloomy: "What are you going to do?" The man pouted arrogantly: "Regardless of him, if you want to live, you can come out by yourself, and if you don't want to live, you will die." ”

At this time, Xiao Er slowly walked out with the old man in his arms, tears streaming down his cheeks, his eyes breathing fire, and he shouted to Wu Song: "Second Brother Wu, Uncle Chao was smashed by these thieves in the house, and he is no longer there!" Those bastards on the roof don't have to live. ”

Wu Song also threw a rat trap just now, and he didn't dare to fight on the roof, for fear of hurting Uncle Chao under the house even more. In front of him, Uncle Chao was smashed to death in the house, at this time he was extremely sad and angry, where could he still hold it, when the real anger rose from his heart, and the evil was born to the side of the guts: "Okay, good, I don't know how to settle accounts, I only know how to kill people to pay for my life, what do you want my uncle to do, I will treat you as I want, I won't wronged you", stretched out his palm and grabbed the man. That person's martial arts are not weak, but seeing that Wu Song has no moves, he grabbed it casually, and was about to resist, but the other party grabbed it very quickly, and he couldn't stop it with his hand. Wu Song grabbed his neckline, secretly exerted his strength, and threw it far into the water, but landed in the middle of the Wuzhang River. The man was originally very water-like, and the acupuncture channel was pointed, like a puddle of mud being thrown down, and immediately he was submerged, and only bubbles and splashes were seen on the surface of the river.

The rest of the officers and soldiers on the roof were frightened, and Wu Song went back and forth, and no one had time to move half a step, and was thrown into the river like the envoy. The rest of the soldiers on the shore wanted to be saved, Wu Song shouted: "These people killed my uncle Chao for no reason, whoever dares to save him, I will throw him down!" "Pity a few officers and soldiers who were vicious and arrogant just now, and they drowned in the Wuzhang River in an instant.

The Wu Song brothers shouted again, and the villagers smashed the boat transporting the Taishan Huashi Gang, and also saved the trouble of demolishing the bridge and dredging the river.
