Chapter 214: Saving the Folk Girl

Listening to the words of the villagers, Yang Shucheng thought that this little Fu Wang's big white fat man of more than 300 catties, if he wanted to do something bad, he was crushed to death, and he would never believe that it was the spring medicine that worked.

The three of them said goodbye to the villagers who were catching toads and led their horses to the village, when the aroma of food wafted from every house.

The three of them looked at a family whose house was neat and tall, surrounded by a large circle of walls, and stood out in this village, and was obviously a large family. The three of them traveled all the way, wanting to have a good meal and rest for the night.

Yang Shucheng stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it was only after a while that someone came to open the door, it was an old man, seeing these three people, leading the horse, and asked:

"Where's the people? Can I help you? ”

Yang Shucheng said: "We came from afar, missed the accommodation, and wanted to stay in Guizhuang for one night, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

The old man was hesitating, but he heard someone inside speak: "Whoever walks with the house on his back, let them in, it can be regarded as accumulating some virtue." ”

"Yes. Ladies and gentlemen, please come in. ”

Only then did the three of them see the owner of the house, in his fifties, with gray hair, and although he let people in, he frowned, as if he had something on his mind.

The old man led the horses of the three men and tied them into the stable.

Let him enter the living room, the host asked, "Where are the three distinguished guests?" What's the matter here? ”

Li Xing said that the three of them came from Henan, wanted to go to the capital to play, passed by your place, and wanted to stay overnight in this village.

The old man listened to the names of the three and said his own names and surnames. The owner of this Chen Zhuang is the richest man in the vicinity, and he said: "Henan is in chaos, first the thieves looted it several times, and now the Qing soldiers occupy Henan, right?" ”

"Yes, we just left Henan and went to Jiangnan to take refuge."

Chen Zhuang said: "You better bypass the capital, now the Qing soldiers are on the side of the Huai River, the capital is under martial law, if you are caught by the officers and soldiers, say that you are spies, put in prison, but you will not be able to get out." ”

"Yes, thank you for your kindness."

I didn't have to say much, and the family was already on the table full of dishes.

Because of the money given in advance, there was a pot of stewed and rotten old hen on the table, a pot of fish soup made from fish freshly caught from the river, and a large pot of baogu wine.

The three of them ran around all day, and when they were hungry, they began to drink wine and eat meat.

After drinking and eating, the owner of Chen Zhuang arranged for the three of them to go into the house to sleep.

It was late at night, a bright moon in the sky shone on the courtyard and the snow was bright, the breeze blew the branches, and painted ink paintings on the ground, but the mountain village was silent, and no one came out to admire, the birds and finches on the trees were closed, only the grass and insects chirped.

Suddenly, I heard a dog barking in the courtyard, followed by a crowd shouting horses.

The three of them walked the rivers and lakes for a long time, where would they sleep, and they all got up immediately and ran out.

The front yard is brightly lit, and if a robber comes, he will run to the front yard immediately.

A group of people surrounded the people on Chen Zhuang's side. Look at the guys who come here don't look like bandits.

I only heard Chen Zhuang say: "Ladies and gentlemen, please come to the house and talk." ”

"Old thing, you dare to be disrespectful to the emperor, you are really going to rebel."

Li Xing and the three of them thought to themselves, this Chen Zhuang master is kind and kind-hearted, could he have seen through his own hiding, and reported to the official overnight to arrest us.

Hesitating. I only heard Master Chen Zhuang say: "Ladies and gentlemen, where did this start. Blessed, quickly take two pieces of silver, and honor your lords. ”

"Yes."

"Less nonsense. You know what we mean by coming, give your daughter away. ”

Chen Zhuang said: "Where do I have a daughter?" ”

The leader said: "Don't play tricks on Lao Tzu, last time I let you run away, you hid your daughter, this time I inquired, she came back." ”

Chen Zhuang shook his hand and said, "There is no matter." ”

The leader said, "We have surrounded Zhuangzi, search for me." ”

This time they learned their lesson and brought a lot of people, the people outside were responsible for surrounding and not letting a fly fly out, and the people inside were responsible for the search.

The daughter of the owner of Chen Zhuang was hiding in the cave last time, delivering food every day, and after more than ten days, it is estimated that the government forgot about it, so she took her daughter home, but it was only two days, and the government came.

Master Chen Zhuang had a weak heart, stepped forward to stop the official, and said, "No, no." Blessed, come, come. ”

Defu immediately ran up, carrying a package, Chen Zhuang took the package, handed it to the leader, and said, "Please take care of it." ”

The leader pushed the burden away and said, "Master Chen, I know that you are filial, but this time you are doing things for the emperor, if you don't succeed, my head will fall off." Search for me. ”

This group of officials was like a wolf and a tiger, breaking into the house, and the owner of Chen Zhuang also had a few guardians, but where did he dare to go against the government.

Lord Chen Zhuang prayed in his heart, I usually accumulate good deeds, great compassion and great compassion to save the suffering and save the suffering, you can bless me.

But the Bodhisattva did not bless him, and soon, several officials dragged a girl out.

The leader smiled and said: "Dead old man, you dare to deceive the emperor, don't die, take it away for me." ”

"Daddy, daddy, you save me......"

These wolf-like officials dragged a weak woman and wanted to leave like flying.

Chen Zhuang was sent by several officials to carry a knife around his neck, if he moved, maybe his head would be moved soon.

The girl screamed as the gang dragged her out of the doorway.

Yang Shucheng and Bai Yuyao had never seen such an open robbery of people's daughters, and without waiting for Li Xing's orders, they immediately ran out of the gate and shouted:

"Stop."

This group of officials is usually used to showing off their might, and which resistance is a knife, but tonight they suddenly heard someone dare to shout loudly, and they all stopped and looked back hesitantly.

"You dare to rob the people's daughter, let go quickly."

There were only two people in this group of officials, Wenwen was weak, and his tone was not small, where would he listen to them, and continued to drag the girl away.

Yang Shucheng and Bai Yuyao stepped forward and stabbed with their swords. The group of officials knew that this sword was not a joke, so they hurriedly let go of their hands and dodged, and shouted one after another:

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around."

Holding a knife, he slashed at the two of them. These two people put them in their eyes, and they stabbed them with their swords, and soon stabbed several people.

This group of officials usually oppresses the good, where does he have any real ability, and he was stabbed several times by the two of them, and they were all dumbfounded.

The leader was still calm, and asked, "Who are you?" Is it a bandit or a Manchu spy? ”

Yang Shucheng said: "We are people passing by, and when we see you robbing people's girls, we are not angry. ”

"Huh." The leader said: "We are not thieves robbing people's girls, we are the official government in the city, and we are on the orders of the emperor to draft girls into Beijing." ”

Yang Shucheng said: "Is there such a draft girl?" What is the difference between coming in the middle of the night and robbing the people's girls and leaving? ”

The leader said, "You must be spies, report your name?" ”

Yang Shucheng said: "I won't change my name, I won't change my surname, my name is Yang Shucheng, you will tell the emperor my name like this when you go back, and now you can't take this girl away." ”

This leader is a petty official, he is acting on orders, where can he talk to the emperor, and now his subordinates have been killed by these two people, and he will not get any benefit if he persists, so he has to say:

"Boy, you wait, you spies, you are heroes, don't leave, I will send soldiers to arrest you at dawn."

After speaking, the leader waved his hand, and the group helped the wounded and walked cleanly for a while.

Li Xing was hiding in the house at this time, he was afraid that there would be many people on his side and cause unnecessary trouble.

Now, the girl was saved, and she knelt in front of Yang Shucheng and Bai Yuyao to thank her for saving her life.

The owner of Chen Zhuang also saw with his own eyes that it was the two chivalrous men who saved his daughter, thinking that Guanyin Bodhisattva had sent someone to save him, and he also hurriedly walked over, thanking him a thousand times.

Everyone returned to the hall, and Li Xing suggested that the owner of Chen Zhuang should send his daughter elsewhere, in case this group of people would come to entangle.

Of course, the owner of Chen Zhuang agreed, but it was his carelessness that caused trouble tonight.

Chen Zhuang said: "You live here, there are mountains and rivers here, and it is also a fun place, and you can't go to the capital." ”

Li Xingdao: "When we go to the capital to do business, we must go." ”

Lord Chen Zhuang said: "If you want to go, you can't enter the city gate." ”

"Why?"

Chen Zhuang said: "Now that the Qing soldiers have reached the edge of the Huai River, the city must prevent spies and defend tightly, and no outsiders will be allowed to enter the city." ”

Yang Shucheng asked: "After the city gate is closed, don't the people in the city need vegetables to enter the city?" How do they live? ”
