Chapter 189: Rescuing Hu Du
Several Jinyi guards chased after Liu Jian and did not let go, Cao Weiyong arrived from behind, stabbed with a sword, Jinyiwei turned around to defend, Liu Jian also turned around, and the two killed Jinyiwei together.
These brocade guards are usually used to showing off their might, and when they meet these two young people tonight, where are they opponents. The two of them made a light effort, Liu Jian was even more swordsman, the two long swords were like dragons stirring the sea, and after a few moves, they stabbed these brocade guards in a hurry.
But the two of them were prisoners of the imperial court, how could they dare to let go, although they were invincible, they were still tightly surrounded. Seeing that it was not the Fa, the two had to perform light skills and run towards the outside of the city. After a while, he ran to the edge of the city wall, flew up the city wall, and jumped down, and the Jinyi Wei behind him was not weak, and followed closely behind, jumping off the city wall one after another.
Outside the city wall, there was a wilderness, and there were only two or three Jinyi guards following behind the two. The two glanced at each other, their hearts were connected, and they came to meet Jinyiwei, and the two of them killed the killer.
Several brocade guards were frightened and retreated in unison. Liu Jian and the others collected their swords, launched their strength, performed light skills, and fled into the vast dark night.
The two got rid of Kaijin Yiwei.
Cao Weiyong asked: "We are meritorious people in the fight against the Japanese, and now we have become criminals, and the Jinyi Guard is chasing and killing us, what should we do?"
Liu Jian said: "Master has made a light effort, so he can naturally escape, and I won't go back, I'll go to Master's hometown." ”
Cao Weiyong said: "I can't go home either, my master is in the capital, I will go to the capital to find my master." ”
The two said goodbye and looked for their own masters.
However, it was said that Zhang Jinhua and his wife fled in order to cover their apprentice Liu Jian, and turned back into Huancui Garden. Jinyiwei took them as their fierce rivals, and under the leadership of Zhang Erzhong, they surrounded Zhang Jinhua and the others, and they were inextricably killed for a while. Zhang Jinhua and the two rushed into the Jinyi Guard, which made Zhang Erzhong have some scruples and couldn't release the arrow.
At this time, Huancui Garden was already full of fires, thick smoke, and with the help of the wind, it had burned to the surrounding houses. The citizens got up, carrying pots and buckets, to water and put out the fire, and even the soldiers could not stop them. The family's possessions were in the house, and the inhabitants were in charge of the soldiers.
Xu Wentao rode the smoke and ran to the backyard, at this time, the soldiers and Jinyi guards were attracted by Zhang Jinhua and his wife, and he had no time to care about it, so he climbed over the wall and jumped to the house next door. The next door heard movement in the backyard, and hurriedly ran to the backyard, seeing that it was Xu Wentao, ready to shout.
Xu Wentao said: "It's me, don't shout." ”
Walk up and hand a small cloth bag to the next door. The next door took the cloth bag, and looked at the fire outside the wall, and saw that the bag was full of gold, shining golden light in a flash.
Xu Wentao said: "It's all you, as long as you save me." If you report to the official, you won't get one or two. ”
The man said, "How can I not save my neighbor?" with a gesture of his hand, "You come with me, come into the house and put on my clothes." ”
The two entered the house, took off Xu Wentao's clothes, put on their own clothes, carried the clothes they took off to the backyard, and threw them to the opposite courtyard.
By this time, the fire had already burned the neighbors, and people were shouting, running back and forth, and pouring water to put out the fire. The next door handed Xu Wentao a small basin and told him to pretend to put out the fire.
Coming to the outside of the house, the shadows are mixed, although shouting and shouting to save the fire, but the fire is too big, and the neighbors have been burned to the bottom, and people are crying for their fathers and mothers, and they are crying for their babies and meat, and they can't stop crying.
Xu Wentao took advantage of the chaos and slipped away.
Fang Shangzhang Jinhua saw that Liu Jian had escaped without a trace, screamed, and fled to the southeast with Zhang Xizhen. These two people want to escape, who can stop them? The wind is like a lightning speed, and they are gone, in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Erzhong was on the roof of the house, and he used a series of arrows, and the arrows were like flying locusts, shooting straight at the backs of Zhang Jinhua and the others. The two didn't look back, and with a backhand copy, they copied the incoming arrow. By the time Zhang Erzhong fired the second wave of arrows, Zhang Jinhua and the two had disappeared into the vast dark night.
There were also many servants in Huancui Garden, and the Jinyi guard drove them into the fire and burned them alive. Back to the imperial court, it was reported that the bandits resisted stubbornly and were all annihilated in the Huancui Garden.
Zhang Jinhua escaped with her life, and had no hope of being rewarded by the imperial court, so she was disheartened and had to sneak back to her hometown. Behind the house, I bought a large piece of mountain, gathered water into a pond in the col, built some pavilions and pavilions on the hillside around the pool, it was already covered by flowers and trees, the birds were singing, the scenery was quiet, and it was named "Little West Lake". Zhang Jinhua made friends in Xiaoxi Lake, feasted guests, and indulged in intoxication every day. Later, Liu Jian found here, and Zhang Jinhua didn't let him out of the courtyard, but told him to practice swordsmanship and light skills every day. This Liu Jian is a sword idiot, as long as he practices swordsmanship, he is willing to stay in the courtyard and will not be bored.
Two days later, the news reached the Qiping barracks. Yang Xiaoxia thought to herself, I don't want this fame anymore, when the court rewards him, he finds out that he is the son of a criminal minister, and if he doesn't get the credit, I'm afraid he will still worry about his life. Therefore, Yang Xiaoxia took off her military uniform, put on civilian clothes, carried a bow and arrows, and ran out of the barracks.
After running out of the barracks, he thought, this world is so big, where is there a place for him to live? Thinking about it, only where he comes from, he will go back, or go back to Sweeping Leaf Villa, and then learn a few arrows from the master. Having made up his mind, Lema ran northwest.
Cao Weiyong didn't dare to go home, so he walked north overnight, panicking like a lost dog, panicking like a fish that slipped through the net, and hurried to the capital. It didn't take long for him to arrive in the capital and find his master, Leng Yuhu.
Leng Yuhu knew that Hu Shangcao was arrested, and he was also very anxious, but he couldn't make up his mind alone. I thought to myself, Mr. Xu Wentao was resourceful, and if Governor Hu was arrested, he would definitely come to the capital and try to rescue him, so he went to the Huhai Teahouse every day to drink tea and wait for Xu Wentao to visit.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xu Wentao to come to Huhai Teahouse, and the two met. After paying for the tea, he walked out of the teahouse, along the root of the city wall, and discussed ways to save Governor Hu as he walked.
Xu Wentao said: "Let's take the road of housekeepers." ”
Leng Yuhu said: "Without further ado, let's go find Zhou Xiaohua tonight." ”
"That's not enough, we don't have any belongings. ”
"It's important to save people, what can I do?"
Xu Wentao said: "If Governor Hu is arrested, his family will definitely sell their land and make up money to come to the capital. Let's wait for them to arrive, and then we'll discuss what to do. ”
So, the two broke up and went back to their respective hotels.
Sure enough, within a few days, someone from the Hu family came, and Xu Wentao walked into the Hu family's residence in Beijing. When the Hu family saw Xu Wentao's arrival, they hurriedly invited him into the back room to discuss the rescue of Governor Hu.
Governor Hu has been in office for nearly a year, and he has received a lot of gold and silver, but he was arrested on the spot, where can he take care of these lovely gold and silver? He has already been looted by the Jinyi Guard, and after the Jinyi Guard left, the soldiers of the garrison came in to search for the second time, and they were eager to dig three feet into the ground, and how could there be any more gold and silver in the Governor's Palace? Moreover, Xu Wentao, a weak scholar, lent him a guts, and he did not dare to return to the Governor's Palace.
Therefore, Xu Wentao asked, "How much did you bring?"
The Hu family said: "When the governor was in Hangzhou, he got the gold and silver, and after sending them home, he built a house and bought a field, where was the cash? After we came to Beijing, we handed over the affairs of the family to the housekeeper, and he continued to sell them, and brought the silver taels we had collected to the capital. ”
"Okay, with these 200,000 taels, it's easy to do things. ”
On the second day, Leng Yuhu took Xu Wentao, and the two of them found Zhou Fuhua's grocery store together. Zhou Heiya is still warmly welcomed.
Leng Yuhu explained his intentions, and as soon as he heard about saving people, Cheng Xiaoban was also willing to help.
Cheng Xiaoban returned to the room, dressed up, and walked out in the middle of the night, although she hadn't seen her for a few years, she was only in her early twenties, her white face was painted with rouge, and her slightly thicker lips were painted with red and bright lipstick. Married for many years and giving birth to two sons, her body is still slender and enchanting, shaking step by step, showing thousands of styles and thousands of charms.
called two sedan chairs, Xu Wentao and her were carried to Yan Song's mansion. Leng Yuhu was drinking at Zhou Heiya's house and other news.
The two walked along the brick road towards the butler's house. The road is still the same, the courtyard is still the same, and the two were informed and walked in.
The butler had aged a lot, most of his hair had fallen out, and the rest of his hair was covered with snow on the top of his head, and his old yellow face was full of wrinkles, and he was holding on to a cane, looking old.
Cheng Xiao walked in with a smile and shouted, "Godfather-"
"Oh, it's a little half. It's been a long time since you've seen me. When the old housekeeper saw Cheng Xiaoban coming, he immediately came to his senses, threw away his crutches, and smiled, but his wrinkles were more dense.
