The candle walked forward, and the halberd sank into the sand along the road, but stopped at the entrance of Guazhou Jingkou. The passing water is long, that is the story that happened in Zhongzhou a hundred years ago.

Chongshan City is separated from Zhongshan City by a group of Jingshui. The mountains on both sides of the strait are empty, and the boat travels in it, just like walking through the picture scroll.

Han Liang, the robber officer of Shizhong Mountain City, spent all day thinking about the case of a group of Jiangyang thieves from Youyuan Prefecture who robbed merchant ships on Jingshui. This gang of thieves was cunning and tight, but they killed people and hijacked ships in the center of Jingshui, and when they heard that the government was coming, they immediately set sail away. In order to catch this gang of thieves, Han Liang has been planning for a long time.

At noon today, a passenger ship that can carry 100 people will depart from Chongshan City and cross Jingshui to Zhongshan City. There are many people in the ship who transport precious goods to Zhongshan City. Many local wealthy families in Chongshan City. Therefore, Han Liang felt that this gang of thieves should be eyeing this passenger ship.

Han Liang tightened the bundle, carried the waist knife, and carried the Pu knife. He led three or five soldiers into coarse cloth clothes. Pretending to be ordinary guests who went to the rivers and lakes followed the passenger ship. After entering the ship, Liang dispersed the soldiers and ordered Hugh to fight the grass and startle the snake. Leaning on the side of the mast, I raised my eyes to watch the merchants carrying goods, but I saw that many merchants sold jade yellow and white, which was valuable enough.

Wait until the goods are delivered to the ship and stacked in the cabin. The boss of the ship shouted and set sail. All the way, everyone gossiped about wine, Jingshui was calm and calm, and the scenery was pleasant. No one could have imagined that crises would ensue, and Han Liang's brows furrowed, because all this was quiet. The river is wide, the water is clear, and there are no boats coming down.

Suddenly, countless hooks flew up from the water like pythons and landed on the side of the ship. There was a roar underwater, and the bare-shouldered men seemed to come out of the water. With a sword in hand, he took the rope and boarded the ship. The merchants on the ship saw many big men drenched in water coming up, and their swords were shining, and all of them were so frightened that their faces were as white as paper, and they only shrank under the wine table, not daring to look at the thieves!

Han Liang saw the robbers lying at the bottom of the water, waiting for the ship to enter the middle of the river, but came to plunder. Immediately remained silent, darkening the eyes of the three soldiers. At this time, the thieves grabbed the captain of the boat and cut down the river with a knife. The merchants were so frightened that they could not move. It can only be said where the goods are stored.

The robbers acted cleanly and cleanly, without any delay. He immediately swung his knife and cut the sail ropes. When the sails on the passenger ship fell, the colleagues on the other side rowed five or six clippers like arrows. The thieves opened the cargo hold and threw all the bags of gold and jade treasures into the boat. How could everyone ask for the goods to be returned?

At this time, Han Liang, a thief pretending to be a citizen, had already seen those robbers greedy for property, and relaxed the coercion and coercion of those merchants. Immediately shouted, like thunder. The knife in his hand was pouted like the wind, and the first three thieves fell into the water. The three men were bloodied at the bottom of the boat, and they couldn't live anymore!

The thieves were frightened and wanted to run to Han Liang, but they saw that the three soldiers in the middle attacked together, and stabbed the Pu knife in their hands. In an instant, seven or eight thieves were killed on the ship. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining thieves immediately skimmed their swords, jumped into the water, grabbed the clipper and left. Han Liang did not give up, jumped into the boat, jumped from the top of the boat, raised his knife in his hand, and killed two bandits.

Seeing that Han Liang was brave, those thieves hurriedly drove the boat to look at the other side of the river, and some of the thieves drove the boat, and some of the thieves took bows and arrows from the boat, and shot arrows at Han Liang. Han Liang was not afraid of danger. But when he saw that he was propping up the boat with one hand, and swinging his sword with the other, the arrows fell into the water.

But he never thought that there were thieves who would go to the water, so he secretly swam under Han Liang's boat, pulled out the wooden plug at the bottom of the boat, and rolled the Jingshui source into the cabin. The remaining members of the thieves raised their sails and drove away in a light boat and a small boat. There are no sails left on the merchant ships, and the water is surging. Han Liang and the three soldiers couldn't catch up with Yu Kou, and they couldn't help but sigh.

Jingshui fought viciously, but it was not all for nothing. There were eight bodies of robbers who were killed, which also dealt a heavy blow to the robbers. When he returned to the court, Murong Yinhua, the prefect of Chongshan City, announced in court that he had seen the corpse and closed the case. When Han Liang heard about this, he immediately entered the prefect's mansion, saying that the remnants of the thieves had not been eliminated and that he should not slack off. But the prefect insisted that Han Liang would not continue to track down Yu Kou's whereabouts, rewarded him with some silver taels, and ordered Han Liang to recuperate at home and leave nothing else.

Han Liang was puzzled, but because he was busy with business all day, he had less time to enjoy when he returned home, and more time to lick blood from the knife. I also miss my wife at home. So he thanked the prefect for his love and returned to his home in Chongshan City. Han Liang is still strong, no matter what he does, he is impartial and faithful. He often helps poor households, and his name is known in Chongshan City. Han Liang had a wife, Zhen, and admired his reputation for being honest, so he voluntarily married Han Liang as his wife.

Zhen is very beautiful, since she married Han Liang, she has not returned home to visit her husband for a long time after working all day on official business. is also completely responsible, but cleans up the house all day long, serving his father-in-law and mother-in-law. has never shown his face to cause trouble with the outside world. It was Han Liang who loved his wife very much. This return home really surprised Zhen and made him happy. In the past few days, the wine management has been prepared, and the husband and wife are like sugar and honey.

But Han Liang has not been in the gentle countryside for a long time, and has lived at home for three days, but he is more and more unclear. Those river and ocean thieves have never gone out, and in the future, when the rumors have passed, they will definitely seize the boat in Jingshui again, harming people's lives and money. So I didn't think about tea and dinner, and I couldn't sleep at night. So while his wife was asleep, he quietly hung up his waist knife and pushed the door out, wanting to check some clues again.

It was the night moon, the dark wind was high, and the clouds were in the sky. Han Liang never thought that as soon as he got out, he saw several black shadows outside the court, jumping from the stone wall and jumping onto the roof. He was dressed in nocturnal black, covered with a cloth, and his face was not recognizable. Han Liang felt that this group of people was extraordinary and very suspicious. Immediately jumped lightly, walked lightly on the eaves tile, and followed up.

The behavior of this group of people is really strange, about three more drums, no one in the streets and alleys, several people are vigorous, jump off the wall, turn around and disappear into the depths of the forest flowers. Han Liang crouched on the edge of the eaves, and only after these black-clothed people jumped down did he jump down. Through the faint moonlight, I saw that in the depths of this flower and tree, the path was tortuous, and it was the back garden of the prefect Murong Yinhua's house.

"This gang of thieves, could it be that they assassinate the prefect?"

Han Liang was shocked, but he didn't care what to do, so he leaned into it, and after a quarter of an hour, he heard a faint human voice from the secluded garden. Han Liang hid behind the plane tree, listening to it, but the more he listened, the more angry he became!

It turned out that although the voices of the people in this forest were small, they could all be heard clearly in the secluded night. Among them, the one who has a little vicissitudes is Murong Prefect, and the rest of the people are all Jiangyang thieves. They secretly came to each other, and the thief who was the leader of the prefect offered a jade Buddha statue and saw it under the moon. The Governor plotted Han Ming's life to avenge their brother.

The prefect whispered that Han Liang had stopped his official position at home, and that he was incorruptible, and there was no place to find guilt. If you want to figure it out, you have to create some cause for the accident. But he never thought that Han Liang was listening to it in the mansion, and in a fit of rage, he pulled out the waist knife, so that the moon could run with the knife, and shouted angrily: "The thief is leaving!"

When the three of them saw Han Liang carrying a knife to kill, they couldn't help but be shocked, and when they started with their hands, the flying claws hooked the heavy eaves, and they flew up to the pavilion with the three of them and disappeared into the moonlight. Han Liang saw that the thief had gone, and the jade Buddha was still placed on the stone bench in the court. Immediately raised the knife and went straight to the Murong prefect's mansion. The prefect was shocked and had no choice but to walk around the tree. Han Liangsheng chased after him angrily and slashed with a knife. but it was cut down on a tree, and the blade was deep in it. Han Liang pulled it out twice in a row, but he never pulled it out.

The prefect was frightened away, but when the night patrol officers and soldiers heard the sound, everyone rushed up and threw Han Liang to the ground. Just like a tiger descending from the mountain, holding down the lamb. The prefect of Murong was shocked, and he was busy taking a hundred catties of flail nails and put him in prison. Han Liang's limbs were all held down and he couldn't move. only opened his mouth to scold the prefect, and he was helpless. was tied up by the sergeants and put on death row. Even the waist knife was thought to be a murder weapon and received as evidence.

On that day, the prefect of Murong's court was calm, and Han Liang scolded and refused to confess. The prefect was furious and shouted: "Last night, everyone saw that you broke into the back garden with a knife and intended to assassinate the lower official! How can this guy not recruit!"

Han Liang bit his lip and let the blood flow all over the ground, still refusing to bow his head to the corrupt official. Until the birth of one Buddha and the birth of two Buddhas. Han Liang couldn't be beaten, and his life was on the line. Only Qu Zhao did: 'Seeing the wealth, stealing the jade Buddha in the house.' When discovered, he intended to kill people and kill people'. He took the flail and nailed it again, and pierced the lute bone with iron chains. He was on death row and beheaded on a certain day.

said that Han Liang was in prison, and only one breath remained. Thanks to the prison prison errand and others, they have a good relationship with Han Liang on weekdays, and they can't bear to see him suffer so much. So he was willing to go against the big deal and open the shackles for Han Liang. Hide him elsewhere.

That night, those Jiang Yang thieves who intended to murder Han Liang's life sneaked into the prison with knives and wanted to kill Han Liang. Seeing that Han Liang didn't know where to go, he was shocked and inexplicable. By the time they got out of the prison, they had already dug a trap there, and the three thieves fell into the pit, were pierced through the bodies by the steel knives below, and all of them died there.

It turned out that Han Liang had long expected that the three of them would come. He secretly instructed the prisoners to dig a sinking pit and set up steel knives to stand upside down, but those who fell would surely die. So except for the three big thieves. The jailers couldn't bear Han Liang to die under the prefect's butcher's knife, so they let Han Liang go privately. Outside the prison, Han Liang looked back and said goodbye to everyone in tears. He went to his house to fetch his wife and fled to Jingshui together.

He was wronged this time, and he was let go by everyone, and the big crime was difficult to take, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't wash it clean. You must not stop at Chongshan Castle again. Immediately, I rented a clipper overnight and waited on the water's shore. But he never thought that the one who sent the thief to kill Han Liang was the prefect Murong Yinhua, and the prefect waited in the back garden, and the three of them did not return for a long time. Knowing that something had happened to the people sent out, they immediately set fire to the 3,000 officers and soldiers in the city and set them on fire. When he came to the prison for questioning, he knew that Han Liang had already escaped.

The prefect of Murong immediately ordered the city gate to be closed and searched for the fugitive Han Liang from house to house. On the other hand, he led troops to pursue on the bank of Jingshui. Han Liang's stick sores have not healed, and it is extremely difficult to take his wife quickly. In the middle of the line, he saw a loud shout from the rear, and the flames were soaring into the sky, and the prefect of Murong personally led the horse army and chased after him!

Poor Han Liang just fled to the shallows with his wife Zhen, and from the sky, he rolled down the fierce thunder light that flowed. Thousands of miles of thorn water roared in the thunder, boiling as much as possible. The torrential rain fell violently, and at the moment when the lightning flickered, Han Liang saw the people approaching not far away. I can only push my wife on the boat and go first. Draw your sword in your hand to block the prefect!

But the wind and rain were so strong that he couldn't see things. The prefect of Murong held his bow and arrows on his horse, pulled the strings, and flew away in response to the thunder that shook thousands of miles. It hit Han Liang in the chest and knocked him to the ground. Seeing that Han Liang was still struggling to the death in the mud, the entourage immediately shot his bow to the beach, Han Liang was hit by dozens of arrows, blood sprayed wildly, and he was already out of breath, but he rolled into the water with arrows.

The tumbling thorn water is like the water of the Lechuan River, and the evil spirit is resurrected. In the midst of heavy rains, the tide rises angrily. Shocked to learn that the house returned to the horse and left, everyone retreated. At dawn, the water patrol soldiers grabbed Han Liang's wife, Zhen. The water is drenched and dedicated to the prefect. Because the prefect of Murong saw Zhen's appearance like a hibiscus out of the water, he was immediately sent to the back hall of the mansion.

That night, the prefect of Murong wanted to forcibly occupy the Zhen family, but the Zhen family refused to obey and killed himself with a personal dagger. The prefect was afraid that this matter would come out, so he secretly buried Zhen's body under a locust tree in the garden, and hid it here for the time being thinking that no one would know. The prefect of Murong thought that he could cover it up, so he no longer paid attention to it, and drank and feasted luxuriously in the bottle day and night, harming the people and suffering officials.

But he never thought that seven days later, more than 50 people in the Murong Prefect's mansion would be killed in the mansion overnight. The blood was sucked dry. But I don't know who did it. It is rumored in the neighborhood that night that a watchman saw a blood-clothed ghost flying out of the mansion, holding a beautiful female corpse in his arms, and escaped into Jingshui without a trace.

The way of the world is only like a water between Zhongshan City and Chongshan City. The shape of the world is floating and sinking in it, the clear people watch the waves and shadows, wander freely, and the turbid ones sink into the mud and sand, unable to extricate themselves.

After the heavy rain, the spring breeze is in the south of the green river, and the night reflects the luxury room painting hall, and the bleak lonely moon has never reappeared in the passing years. In the third street and six alleys, people occasionally chatted. Some elders said that after Han Liang's death, he was resentful, and he had turned into the most ferocious corpse demon to ask for his life, killing more than 50 officials who had killed the people and stolen goods in one fell swoop.

If good and evil are not rewarded, there will be selfishness.
