Chapter 181: Faith Coercion
The two sides of the door will not return, and the flag will be lowered. As mentioned in the previous book, Cui Ningxiu, the new commander of Huguang, wanted to show his skills when he took office, but in the first battle of Funiu Mountain, he lost his troops and lost his armor. After being beaten by Chen Tianba, Cui Ningxiu was timid and didn't dare to fight again.
Li Wenyan's master, Shao De, is full of evil schemes and bad water, since he can't win against Chen Tianba head-on, this thief actually came up with such a despicable and shameless poisonous plan to force Chen Tianba to comply. After Xue Wu, the head catcher, sent Chen's mother to the county office, Shao De muttered in his ear for a while, Xue Wu nodded, took Chen's mother's letter, and turned around and went out.
Xue Wu turned into the alley and stopped in front of a shop called "Xuan Mo Zhai". He looked around for a moment, then walked inside.
The shopkeeper of the bookstore is surnamed Zhang, who is obscure and wears a scarf and a plain brocade robe. He has a long face, high cheekbones, a pointed chin, deep-set eyes, and a few long locks of beard under his chin. He is a down-and-out talent, not confused, tried and failed, and copied and wrote for others on weekdays, reciting poems, and barely survived.
When Xue Wu came in, Zhang Wenxian held the book in his hand, shook his head, and read Su Shi's "Farewell to Dong Chuan" with relish: "Wrapped in a coarse cloth, there is poetry and books in his belly. After Xue Wu heard this, his brows were tightly locked, and his stomach was swollen, and he let out a loud fart. The stench then spread and volatilized, Zhang Wenxian waved his hand and said, "It is really insulting to do this indecent act in the study. As soon as his words fell, Xue Wu responded with a broken gong voice. Zhang Wenxian turned around and looked, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Xue Zhutou, what kind of wind blew you here?"
Xue Wu cut his hands back, strode proudly, and came to the bookcase. He flipped and looked around, then leaned back in his chair and rested Erlang's legs on the table.
Zhang Wenxian's face was frightened, and Xue Wu said eagerly: "Xue Zhutou, these are all books of sages, and you are disrespectful to sages by doing this." Xue Wu's pair of goldfish eyes rolled and looked at Zhang Wenxian, and then he spat on the ground. He said to Zhang Wenxian in a contemptuous tone: "You are a sour talent, you keep humming in your mouth all day long, and in the end you are not so poor that you can't even open the pot?"
In the face of Xue Wu's disrespectful remarks, Zhang Wenxian said to him slowly and logically: "There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there are many cars and horses in the book. Xue Wu pursed his lips after hearing this, and he said with disdain on his face: "Don't drag words with me here, it hurts to listen to it." Zhang Wenxian was about to ask Xue Wu what he was doing? Xue Wu took out a gold ingot from his bosom and smashed it on the table with a loud bang.
Zhang Wenxian didn't know what he meant, and Xue Wu immediately threw Chen's mother's letter to him. After Zhang Wenxian opened it, Xue Wu told him with a mouth full of spit and stars flying around, according to the handwriting on the letter, he should rewrite a letter, and his tone should look anxious and helpless.
Zhang Wenxian danced with ink, moved the pen, spread the paper and then wrote hard, and in the blink of an eye, the letter was completed overnight. Xue Wu picked up the letter and grinned non-stop with a toad. He said to Zhang Wenxian: "Zhang Xiucai really has the talent of Feng Tang and relying on horses, I admire and admire him." ”
When Zhang Wenxian took the silver, Xue Wu coldly gave him a knife in his back, only to hear a miserable scream of "ah", Zhang Wenxian fell to the ground. Xue Wu leaned over Zhang Wenxian's neck and went out of the back door in a panic.
He kept his feet on the ground, sometimes looking back, a beggar came out of the alley with a pottery urn in his hand, the two bumped into each other, Xue Wu was angry and kicked the beggar. When the urn is crushed, the soup is scattered. He cursed, and walked away.
Seeing the food that he had worked so hard to beg, it turned into nothing in an instant, and the beggar cried sadly.
When he was in the fragments of the urn, he accidentally found a black waist card in front of him, he picked it up and looked at it, the front was written "Yunxian Catch", and the word "Xue" was engraved in the center. The beggar looked at the waist card and thought back to what had just happened, it must have been lost on the ground by the man who had chosen the way to go. The beggar carefully put away his belt tag and quickly left the place.
After Xue Wu returned to the county office, he handed the letter to his master Shao De, and the master read it, and a strange smile appeared on his face. He said to Cui Ningxiu beside him: "General Cui, with this letter,
The leader of the thieves, Chen Tianba, will definitely disarm and surrender, maybe there will be infighting and fighting, and Ma Wanli will be killed by the way. ”
Cui Ningxiu shot out two sharp rays of light with a pair of wolf triangular eyes, and he echoed casually: "Hahaha, if it is really as Master Shao expected, we will be able to surrender without a fight." ”
The thieves planned properly, Cui Ningxiu sent people to touch Funiu Mountain at night, under the lantern torches, the patrol minions bent their bows and arrows, and asked sharply: "Where did the spy come from? ”
The messenger was so frightened that he raised his hands and hugged his brain, and he said to the minions: "Don't let go of the arrows, I want a letter, and I want to give it to your village master." ”
The minion replied casually: "Throw me the blade into the grass and squat on the spot." The messenger did as he said, squatting on the ground and not daring to come out. After searching him, the minions blindfolded and pushed him into the stockade.
Chen Tianba frustrated Cui Ningxiu's spirit, and at this time he was holding a banquet in the village, drinking with everyone. He saw a man in his hand, pointed at him and said, "Who is this?"
The minions replied truthfully, and Chen Tianba asked the sender where the letter was? The sender told Chen Tianba that the letter was in the compartment of the cloth boot on his left foot. The minions pushed him to the ground and took out the letter with a sharp blade.
After Chen Tianba saw this letter, he was annoyed and sad, beating his chest. He drew his sword and rushed to the messenger, shouting at him, "Where have you imprisoned my mother? ”
The messenger saw Chen Tianba's eyes widening and his thunder was furious, and he was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body. He trembled and told Chen Tianba that his mother was now safe and sound.
Chen Tianba put the knife on his neck and said angrily: "What do you mean to be safe and sound now? If you dare to hurt my mother, I will make you restless." ”
The messenger calmed down a little, and he told Chen Tianba that Master Li and Master Cui had said that as long as he was willing to abandon the secret and turn to the light, he would definitely ensure that he would be in a prominent position and prosperous and wealthy.
Chen Tianba snorted and said to the messenger: "Li Wenyan is corrupt and perverts the law, Cui Ningxiu is violent and incompetent, two thieves are rampant and domineering here, and the people are deeply harmed. ”
The messenger sneered and said to Chen Tianba: "Master Chen, after three or four years, do you not care about your mother's life or death for the sake of your brother's righteousness? Is this what you keep saying about filial piety? Besides, you are now a robber and bandit that everyone despises, even if you have a clear conscience, you can wash away the stigma of thieves. ”
During the conversation between the two, someone had come to Ma Wanli's bedroom to inform him. Ma Wanli got dressed and came to the hall with his weak body in his arms. When he saw Chen Tianba's face, the clouds were gloomy and gloomy, and he hurriedly asked him what happened?
Chen Tianba glanced at him and didn't say a word. Ma Wanli is an honest person who doesn't know how to beat around the bush, he urges again and again, eager to know the truth of the matter. Chen Tianba smashed the table,
A depression condensed in his chest.
When the messenger took over the message and said, "You are Ma Wanli?" When Ma Wanli heard this, he turned around and said to the messenger, "Who are you?
The sender shrugged his shoulders and sneered again, and his words were quite contemptuous. He said to Ma Wanli: "If no one knows, he must not do it." You have robbed the state and plundered the government here, and you have done a lot of immoral things.
Now that the master of Chen Zhai has lost his way and returned to serve the imperial court, you still don't undress and be bound. ”
He thought that after Chen Tianba read the letter, he would take Ma Wanli down on the spot in consideration of his mother's safety. Therefore, the sender of the letter is arrogant in his words. Ma Wanli snatched the letter, and after reading it, he said to Chen Tianba with wide eyes: "Big brother, brother, I am willing to be bound. ”
Before he could speak again, Chen Tianba stepped forward and slashed the messenger to the ground.
Then the big ring knife "clanged" and was thrown on the ground.
Ma Wanli knelt down on his knees, clasped his fists at Chen Tianba, and said: "The eldest brother is bright and fair, and the younger brother is abrupt, which is really a villain's move." Chen Tianba helped Ma Wanli up and dusted off his body. He said to Ma Wanli: "Walking the rivers and lakes, relying on a righteous word, the two of us burn incense to worship heaven and earth, not to live together, but to die together, how can I betray my brother and do unkind and unjust things." ”
Ma Wanli was grateful, but Chen Tianba rejected Li Wenyan, and that thief would definitely harm Chen's mother under his anger. He thought about it, picked up the knife on the ground suddenly, and wiped it towards his neck, saying that it was too late, it was too fast, Chen Tianba stepped forward, and with a harrier lock ring, he choked Ma Wanli's wrist and shook the big ring knife to the ground. Then he made a wind in his palm, opened the bow left and right, and gave Ma Wanli two slaps.
"Confused, confused. Chen Tianba stomped his feet again and again and scolded Ma Wanli. Ma Wanli said: "Big brother...... I. Chen Tianba said to him: "Brother, our nephew Yu San, died in the hands of the thief Cao Qincheng, this blood revenge must be avenged, do you think that as soon as you die, Cui Ningxiu and Li Wenyan can stop fighting? He is letting our brothers kill each other, he wants to take advantage of the fisherman." It really hurts me that you don't think about it and blindly act like a horseman. ”
After saying that, the old tears fell, and Ma Wanli sighed lamenting on the side.
After a while, Chen Tianba's mood calmed down a little, and he strongly advised Ma Wanli not to be impulsive, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and everything has its own solution. Ma Wanli nodded, and he asked Chen Tianba if he had a way to deal with it. Chen Tianba has no master of the six gods at this time, and he has no good plan. He told Ma Wanli that he wanted to think quietly by himself. Ma Wanli said yes and retreated.
Chen Tianba borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, and he was drunk and confused. He looked at the messenger on the ground, and had a way to deal with Li Wenyan in his heart.
