Chapter 8: Outwitting the enemy

Cunyi walked all the way along the dense forest, I don't know how many roads he walked, and gradually the sun sank in the west. He was alone, only by the stars and the moon. Suddenly, the lights were faintly shining in front of him, and he knew that it was a village, so he quickened his pace and entered the village to stay.

He knocked on the wooden door, and when he heard the barking of dogs inside, the door opened in a moment, and out came a hunchbacked old man.

Cunyi stepped forward and bowed to the old man and said, "Uncle, it's late at night, I have nowhere to invest in the store, and I want to borrow your place to rest for one night." ”

The old man opened the door and let Cunyi into the house.

The house was dimly lit, and there were piles of dry wood next to the blackened stove. The old man reminded Cunyi to pay attention to his feet, not to let the firewood stumble, and when Cunyi sat on the earthen kang, the old man turned around and went out.

There was a fire burning in the stove, and the hot soup was boiling in the pot, and at this time, Cunyi smelled the fragrant soup, and Fang Jue felt unbearable hunger in his stomach.

After a while, the old man brought a bowl of hot soup and bran steamed buns. He said to Cunyi:

"The village is deserted, there is no delicacies to entertain young heroes, and the power will be used, and it is important to fill the stomach. ”

Cunyi thanked the old man, picked up the bran steamed bun, and ate it like a storm with hot soup, followed Zhao Da to run around, life was slightly bitter, Cunyi thought that the hot soup steamed noodles were very delicious. His father Yang Lian was an honest official, and when he was living in poverty, he couldn't even afford vegetables. After loyalty, there is a legacy of his father.

After eating, Cunyi took out a piece of silver from his bosom and put it in the old man's hand, but the old man did not accept it. Cunyi was born in a deserted village, knowing the hardships of the common people, he was usually reluctant to eat this chaff, and the old man took it out, which shows the simplicity and kindness of the old man.

Cunyi said: "Uncle, you can take this ingot of silver, add some farm tools and livestock, and improve your life." Hearing Cunyi's words, the old man sighed lightly.

Cunyi asked the old man why he was like this? The old man told Cunyi about the oppression of the people by the evil young people here. Cunyi said: "There is such a bully in the village, doesn't the government ask for the people's life and bring this person to justice?"

The old man replied: "Young Xia doesn't know, this bully's name is Jia Lao Liu, but he is the godson of the 9,000-year-old dynasty, he relies on his father's power, bullies men and women, and does all kinds of evil. ”

"It's Wei Zhongxian again, this eunuch. This thief corrupted the dynasty and killed Zhongliang. If no one gets rid of these thieves, the heavens will destroy them. ”

When the old man saw Cunyi insulting Wei Zhongxian, he hurriedly waved his hand at Cunyi, and he said: "It's amazing, Shaoxia must not talk nonsense, if this is listened to, tell Jia Lao Liu, Shaoxia is afraid of getting into trouble." ”

A Jia Lao Liu actually made the people so jealous, which shows the depth of his harm here. Cunyi said to the old man: "I don't believe that this is a good and peaceful world, and no one can punish this thief." Tomorrow I will go to the yamen and ask the county magistrate to be the master of the people. ”

Listening to Cunyi's words, the old man couldn't cry or laugh, he said: "The young man also asked the county order to be the master, and the county order had already been coaxed out of the yamen by Jia Lao Liuyi with a group of evil servants. ”

The dignified Qipin Zhixian was bullied like this by the evil youth, Cunyi was very curious, what is the grudge between this Jia Lao Liu and the county order?

The old man told the past, it turned out that this county order was Huang Qi, when Yang Lian came here, Huang Qi had beaten Jia Lao sixty or fifty boards. Jia Lao Liu was beaten so badly that he almost lost his life. Therefore, he held a grudge against him, Yang Lian was dead, and Jia Lao Liu naturally put this account on Huang Qi's head.

After listening to the old man's story, Cunyi learned more about his father's deeds during his lifetime. Then he asked the old man about the county magistrate Huang Qi. Although Huang Qi is a mediocre official, he has not committed any offence against the people. Cunyi listened and nodded, the night deepened at this moment, Cunyi was sleepy, the old man closed the door and let Cunyi sleep peacefully.

When I got up the next morning, Cunyi was lazy on the kang when there was a knock on the door outside.

The old man hurriedly got up to open the door, and a man ran in in a panic. The old man said, "Zhang Si, why are you so flustered?"

Zhang Si said: "Uncle Shui, Jia Lao Liu tied Huang Qi to a tree, snatched his daughter away, and asked us to pool money to send him a congratulatory gift." ”

Shui Bo was furious when he heard this: "This damned thief robbed the people's daughters and took the opportunity to blackmail the people. ”

Zhang Si was helpless when he heard it, and Shui Bo was even more helpless.

At this time, Cunyi walked out and whispered to Zhang Si and Shui Bo, and the two of them showed joy on their faces, and went according to Cunyi's plan.

Zhang Si and Shui Bo disguised, carried ten jars of wine mixed with water, pretended to be the old daughter red, and sent it to Jia Lao Liu.

When the wicked young man saw the people congratulating him, he was overjoyed, and ordered the wicked servants to bring wine into the house and prepare for the wedding to entertain the guests.

Shui Bo took the opportunity to say: "Master Jia, forgive the old man for bluntly saying that it is not appropriate for the newlywed son to punish people, offending the god of joy is not good for the son, not to mention that Huang Qi is also the son-in-law, and it is not good for the reputation of the son to go out." ”

Jia Lao Liu listened to Shui Bo's words and thought it was very reasonable, and he asked the evil servant to loosen Huang Qi's ties.

When Huang Qi passed by Jia Laoliu's side, the evil young man let out a loud fart, and then said unhurriedly: "Tomorrow, the son-in-law will marry your daughter, and I hope that my father-in-law will send my daughter into the house on time." ”

Shui Bo said: "The daughter of Huangxian Ling is also everyone's lady, Jia Gongzi doesn't go to greet her, Miss is a martyr, what if she can't bear the humiliation and commits suicide?"

Jia Lao Liu said impatiently, "Tomorrow I will personally go to greet my relatives." ”

Shui Bo said again: "Master Jia, according to the rules of our hometown, when the young lady leaves the pavilion, the husband will ride a horse around the local mountains and rivers. ”

The evil young man said: "I know that you are so long-winded. ”

Seeing that Jia Lao agreed at 6:6, Shui Bo and Zhang Si secretly glanced at Huang Qi, and the three of them left the place of right and wrong.

Huang Qi followed Shui Bo to his house, and Zhang Si and Shui Bo told Huang Qi about Cunyi's plan. The county magistrate was annoyed that Jia Laoliu had deceived people too much, and agreed with the plan to punish the thieves. He asked Shui Bo whose idea was this? Shui Bo brought Cunyi to Huang Qi.

"Lord Yang. Huang Qi screamed in surprise, and Cunyi said, "Huang County Order, what are you calling me?"

Huang Qi then asked Cunyi what his surname was? Cunyi replied that his surname was Zhao.

Back then, the Yang family was killed by Wei Zhongxian, and no one in the court knew about it, and no one knew about it, and it was expected that under the Jinyi guard's knife, no one would survive. It's just that how can this young man's appearance be so similar to the late Lord Yang? Huang Qi was puzzled in his heart.

The next day, Jia Laoliu came to Juma Mountain according to Shui Bo's instructions. As soon as the receiving team entered the valley, Jia Lao Liu's people and horses fell into the horse pit, followed by a cannon, and rushed down from the mountain with a hundred and ten robbers. These robbers surrounded Jia Laoliu and others.

A robber took Jia Lao Liu out of the pit, tied him with hemp rope, and threw him aside. The robber leader said: "That damn Jia Lao Liu, he took all the property of Lao Tzu, so that Lao Tzu had to be a robber." ”

Jia Lao Liu listened to it on the side, and was so frightened that he peed his pants.

The robber said to the minions, "Take their bags and kill them all again, leaving not one alive." ”

All the evil servants were so frightened that they begged for mercy, but the bandit leader still decided to kill them, and at this time, the county commander Huang Qi rushed to Juma Mountain with a dry catch. When the robber leader saw that the official was coming, he killed Huang Qi with a knife, and the officials tried their best to protect him, but the robber leader was strong in martial arts, and Huang Qi was killed by the robbers.

When the officials saw that the county order was dead, they all turned around and ran. The robbers turned back and went to kill the evil servants.

They were about to make a move, when there was a snap, and a puff of smoke enveloped their eyes.

A few of the wicked servants only felt the ropes of their hands and feet loosen, and immediately began to run down the hill without their lives.

When they felt safe, they remembered that Young Master Jia had not escaped.

The evil servants were so anxious that they stomped their feet and said, "Young Master Jia is gone, Grandpa Wei will definitely not spare us, so let's run away." ”

At this time, the evil servant Li crooked his mouth and said: "We have a way to survive when we go back to Beijing, as long as we tell our father-in-law that Young Master Jia exploits the people and provokes a rebellion, he just wants to be angry with Young Master Jia, and he can't find us, not to mention that the county commander Huang Qi was killed by robbers, this is the most powerful evidence for us." ”

Several evil servants listened to Li's crooked words and nodded in agreement. After they finished their discussion, they ran away.

Seeing that the evil servants were gone, Huang Xianling stood up and thanked Cunyi.

Cunyi said: "It's just that I want to wronged my lord, and I can't bear to be a dead person from now on." ”

Huang Qi laughed and said: "Who has not died since ancient times, Shaoxia saved the lives of my father and daughter, Huang Qi is grateful." Now that the traitorous ministers of the court are in charge, the old man is trying to return to the countryside. ”

Huang Qi repeatedly thanked Cunyi and took his daughter to live in seclusion in the countryside. And that Jia Lao Liu, the people threw him into the wilderness and let the jackals bite him.

got rid of Jia Lao Liu, said goodbye to Shui Bo and everyone, and started his trip to the rivers and lakes again.
