"Hooray, you're hungry, eat something." Spring joy is served with supper.

"Let it go." The fourth master sat in front of the case and looked through the cases committed by Xiaofeng Village over the years sent by the government office.

"Long live Lord, this chicken soup has been stewed for a long time, but it's fragrant. You haven't eaten well in the past few days, everyone has lost weight, and we are also sad to see as slaves, so you should feel sorry for us and eat a little more. Chunxi moved the bowl in front of him, the fragrance was fragrant, the fourth master put down the case, took the spoon and tasted it, although he felt that the taste was delicious, he knew that it was Shen Fang himself, and put down the spoon again.

"What's wrong, doesn't it taste good?"

"I don't understand, is it really wrong?" The fourth master shook his head and put the bowl aside.

"Long live Lord is not wrong, don't you know Miss Shen's temper? Come and go quickly, maybe tomorrow will be fine. ”

"No matter how hard I try, she always treats me as an enemy, and it can't get better." The fourth master smiled bitterly, Chunxi is not a confidant, and she understands everything she says.

"No, women are all duplicitous, and you can't believe what you say when you're angry."

"It's not angry, I can see that she is serious."

"......, long live the lord~" Chunxi saw that he was depressed, and he had lost his former self-confidence.

"It would be nice if I were just a horse trader." The fourth master's eyes were slightly red, and he kept repeating this sentence in his heart.

"Long live Lord, there are still many concubines waiting for you in the palace." Chunxi couldn't bear to see him sad, and immediately changed the subject.

"It's time to go back, you should go and rest."

"Long live the lord, you rest early, and the slave will retire." After Chunxi left, the fourth master looked at the empty room, and his eyes were full of Shen Fang's cold and arrogant expression. She never said anything, it seems that she is bent on forcing her, how easy it is to ask her to forget the past, it is not that the ear and temples of these days can be eliminated, she has hatred in her heart, how can she be with me? Even if I chase thousands of mountains and rivers, I will eventually leave, am I so unworthy of you to stay for me? At a glance, she saw the chicken soup next to her that was out of steam, and she held it with both hands and looked at it for a long time, the light yellow soup floated a little oily, and her gentle smile appeared. I can't think about it, don't think about it, I don't know if it's still soup if I swallow it in one bite.

Forbidden city.

"Master, the spies came to report that the emperor was about to leave for Beijing."

"Really? What about Shen Fang? ”

"Shen Fang didn't follow, and stayed in that Xiaofeng Village."

"As long as this woman is alive, even if the person returns, the heart will remain with her."

"Master, the slave understands, and the slave will do it."

"Come back."

"What else does the master command?"

"Ruined her for me."

"Huh!"

The next day, everyone in the village got up early in the morning and waited solemnly to observe the movements of the Qing soldiers. Zhaohui led the holy decree, Tian Chao, and Baozhu led the team to the mountain immediately.

"Big brother, the Qing soldiers have gone up the mountain." Shi Jian reported.

"Didn't you say that it was suspended, why did you change the hexagram again?"

"This time they only brought a small group of people, and it doesn't look like they're here to encircle and suppress." Erhu said.

"And what are they doing up the mountain?" Ah Sheng interjected, Shen Fang sat next to her without saying a word, worried that the fourth master would be angry with her and move her anger to the village, if this was the case, she was ready to let go.

"It's not going to be a peace, let's go out and fight with them." The second tiger picked up his weapon.

"Don't be impulsive, even if you want to fight, you know that you know the other, go and see what tricks they play first, the brothers are ready, we will respond to all changes with the same." Ahsheng said.

"I'll go too." Song Kui stood up.

"Father-in-law, you can keep it, a few of us are enough to deal with." Ah Sheng hurriedly held him up.

"Let me go, it's time to make a break with the dog Tartar." Song Kui walked out of the lobby, and everyone followed to the top of the mountain, and Zhaohui and the others had also arrived.

"General Zhao, I came to my Xiaofeng Village today, I don't know what you are doing?" Song Kui asked.

"Don't be nervous about Dang Song, I'm not here to encircle and suppress." Zhao Hui replied.

"You're here?" Ah Sheng said.

"You'll find out in a moment." Zhaohui nodded with Baozhu, and when Shen Fang saw Baozhu coming, he looked around, and there was no other familiar shadow.

"Xiaofengzhai, Song Kui and others listen to the order." The pillar stepped forward and raised the holy decree, and everyone was stunned when they heard it.

"When the decree arrives, you still don't kneel down to accept it." Tian Chao shouted.

"You want us to kneel unless you kill us." Ah Sheng gave a solid response, and no one else showed any action.

"You're ......!" Tian Chao drew his knife forward and was stopped by Zhaohui.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Bailong Mountain Xiaofeng Village robbed smugglers, lawlessness, and troubled places, and should be detained and punished; Thinking of his righteousness, eliminating the traitor and destroying the strong, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and not harming the people, he withdrew the suppression order and filed the case for trial to observe the after-effects. Now give the name of Xiaofeng Village as the Xiafeng Villa, the local government shall not disturb at will, and give ten acres of land, free of taxes, free of grain, for the purpose of guarding the mountain and protecting the forest, for the benefit of the locality. Chin this, thank you! After Baozhu finished reading, everyone looked at each other, unexpectedly that the emperor would personally issue a pardon.

"What the hell is going on?" Song Kui is unknown.

"The emperor is benevolent, forgive you and other crimes, and don't quickly accept the order to thank you." Zhao Hui reminded.

"Father-in-law, we shouldn't want this." Ah Sheng suddenly spoke up to stop it.

"Yes, big brother, it is clear that you want to recruit An, let us farm and become farmers, and return to the imperial court, it is not so easy." Shi Jian said.

"Xiafeng Villa is not as majestic as Xiaofeng Village, and if you want to destroy our face, you will underestimate us too much." Two Tiger Road.

"According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, you should be punished for your crimes, the emperor has seen everything you have committed, and knows that the people you killed and robbed were corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so he made pardons and rewards. Those who know the times are junjie, isn't it good to put down the butcher knife and live a stable life? Zhaohui said.

"Fart, Lao Tzu was not born to live a comforting life, what is it to kill a few corrupt officials and corrupt officials, you don't need him to reward you. To punish crimes, to encircle and suppress, Lao Tzu accompanies us, but if you want to destroy our reputation, you would rather die than obey. Erhu scolded loudly.

"Presumptuous, I don't know what to do, it's a waste of the emperor's hard work, today the holy decree has been reached, and it must not be violated, otherwise it is disrespectful to the decree, and it can be punished for crimes." Zhaohui Road.

"Come on, Lao Tzu wants to see who killed who first today." The second tiger said that he was about to swing the knife.

"Third child, don't be reckless. Dare to ask General Zhao, has the emperor come to Bailong Mountain? Song Kui shouted loudly, and suddenly remembered someone.

"It's none of your business." Zhaohui Tiekou replied, without denying it, which made Song Kui even more convinced.

"General, please wait." Song Kui returned to the crowd.

"Is there a brother in my village who guards the mountain named Xiao Fangzi?" He asked the crowd.

"What's wrong, big brother?"

"Yesterday, a little Fang Zi who claimed to be guarding the mountain came to my room to deliver medicine, but is there such a person?"

"Little Fangzi? No, I don't. Erhu thought about it, and Shi Jian also shook his head.

"Are you sure?"

"I know best up and down in our village, no one is called Xiao Fangzi."

"Delivering medicine? When I went back to the big boss, I asked a brother who guarded the mountain to give me medicine, and I had a stomach trouble at the time, but I heard him say that he was just dispatched by the guard, and I felt that my eyes were raw, and I didn't ask carefully. By the way, the three masters, we found a lost one on the mountain last night, and it was him. Miss Shen was also present at that time, and she released him. Ah Xiong said, Erhu had already thought of this person, but it was just in the way of Shen Fang, he didn't say it.

"Shen Fang, tell me, who is that person?" Song Kui asked, and Shen Fang's heart was shocked.

He ...... He's just a friend of mine. "She still replied as she said yesterday, 'What little recipe? He's really good at making things up. ’

"Then why do you want to blend into my Xiaofeng Village?"

"Maybe he was looking for me, but he was misunderstood by the three masters, so I took him down the mountain last night." Shen Fang was a little flustered, she couldn't admit that the fourth master was the emperor, Song Kui was silent for a while, recalling yesterday's conversation with Xiao Fangzi:

"We are fighting those evil officials who oppress the people, and robbing those profiteers who are obsessed with profits, and how much public harm has been removed for the world. The court is unknown, and the emperor is even more ignorant, how can he really see clearly who are the people under his hands? The voice of the common people complaining was afraid that it would be replaced by Yingge Yan Dance before it reached the Forbidden City, and he thought that it was the peace of the country and the people, which was extremely stupid. ”

"It's not that the emperor is far away, even if he wants to do it, he can't control everyone's leisurely mouth."

"No one will take care of what he can manage, let alone what he can't manage, we will take care of him, eliminate disasters and harm for him, and in the end he will destroy us, let's destroy it, anyway, it's not the first time, it's not a big deal, and he will be a good man in twenty years."

"Well, well said!"

"......, the small one is to say that the big boss is reasonable, the court is full of wine bags and rice bags, only enjoy the money, not for the people, there are many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the emperor is kept in the dark, even if the officials protect each other, there will eventually be a time when the sky net will be restored, isn't our Xiaofeng Village the net?"

"Whether it's or not, it doesn't matter, even if the fish dies and the net is broken, we are not afraid."

"With the big boss, this net will not break, and the fish will not be able to escape."

"Oh? How do you know? ”

"The little ones don't know, it's all based on the word 'reason'."

"Reason? Hahahaha, how many unreasonable people and things in the world, if they all follow you, then the world is really peaceful. ”

"The world is not as peaceful as it is at the moment."

"Who the hell are you?" Song Kui suddenly looked at the fourth master, and felt that he was different.

"I'm Xiao Fangzi, and the big boss has already asked just now."

"I didn't expect that there is such an insightful brother as you in my village, and it is indeed a waste to let you go to guard the mountain."

"As long as Xiao Fangzi can follow the big boss, he is willing to do anything." Song Kui thought of this, and with a spectrum in his heart, he walked in front of Zhaohui.

"General Zhao, if the emperor comes, please tell him that our Xiaofeng Village has disappeared from the rivers and lakes since then, and only Xia Feng Villa has left its name."

"Song Dangjia is worthy of being a hero in the forest, I will tell the emperor." Zhao Hui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"Big brother, you ......" Erhu didn't understand, and only made him feel that Xiaofengzhai had surrendered to the imperial court.

"Father-in-law!"

"I'll explain to you in a moment, and I'll take my orders." He walked up to the pillar again.

"Thank you, Lord Ron." Song Kui knelt down on one leg to receive the holy decree from the treasure pillar, and everyone knelt down when they saw it. At the same time, the officers and soldiers carried up the plaque, and the emperor personally signed the payment, Erhu and Shi Jian looked at Song Kui, and nodded after seeing him hesitate, and the two dared to take it. Baozhu handed over the land deed to Song Kui, he opened it and saw that there was still the official seal in black and white as evidence, no encirclement and suppression, no peace, and he was actually exempted from crime and given land, and the emperor did come to Bailong Mountain.

"Master Song, we have been ordered to Zhao, and now we have to go back to restore our lives."

"There is General Lao Zhao, please bring this back, I don't have to wait." Song Kui returned the title deed.

"This is the emperor's gift, you better accept it." Zhao Hui persuaded.

"What Song said is like Mount Tai, thunder can't move, please tell the general, the emperor's gift will give me a heart."

"Since the gift has been given, there is no reason to take it back, I can't be the master, so let's ask Song to accept it." Song Kui saw that he couldn't shirk it, so he could only accept it.

"Master Song, take your leave." Zhao Hui led the generals to evacuate. Shen Fang watched them leave, and her heart actually panicked, she immediately walked to the treasure pillar, but she wanted to stop talking.

"Miss Shen, we will escort the fourth master back to Beijing in a while, do you have anything to convey, or go back with us?" Baozhu understood what he meant, and told her bluntly.

“……。” Shen Fang still wanted to speak and stopped, and shook his head.

"Miss Shen, the fourth master ......"

"Baozhu, I wish him a smooth journey." Shen Fang interrupted him, Baozhu didn't say anything anymore when he saw this, and went down the mountain with Zhaohui, she watched the team for a long time and gradually moved away, her eyes were a little moist, Haochen saw that he had understood the situation, and the fourth master did it for her.

Back in the hall, everyone sat in the hall one after another, waiting for Song Kui's explanation, he was silent for a moment and stood up.

"We have been robbing homes for decades, and our brothers have been begging for a living on the tip of the knife. Although, what we killed and robbed were profiteers and corrupt officials, and countless people who could work for Xiaofengzhai were dead, dead, and disabled, and more were not silver, not gold, but orphans and widows. Everyone followed me from birth to death, just for a full meal and a warm bed, regardless of personal gains and losses, and I felt ashamed. The court came to suppress it, and it could resist for a while, but it couldn't resist for a lifetime. Although I hate it, I have to admit that today's saint is a Ming monarch, what he wants is not to blindly eliminate the troubles, but to let our gang of bitter harsons live a stable life, so that his people can truly live and work in peace and contentment, I also hope that the future life of the brothers will be like this, everyone may not understand it for a while, but it is indeed what I think in my heart at the moment, I am old, if I see you fall under the knife of the Qing soldiers one by one, it is better to stab myself to death now, and repay my cheap life to everyone. ”

"Why does the father-in-law say this, does a pardon and reward make you willing to submit to the court? Do you have good things to say for Qianlong? Where have the prestige and ambition of the past gone? Did Qianlong really put it on the table, did it die? Ah Sheng suddenly stood up, and Shen Fang looked at him in surprise.

"Big brother, I don't understand, our Xiaofeng Village has always been proud of doing our own thing, robbing dog officials, and profiteers, big brother took us to the wind and rain, the brothers killed happily, robbed simply, and no one ever complained, why did the eldest brother regret it now?" Shi Jian asked.
