"Tell me about the situation! Boss Liang's wife is not here. Zhang Chengfu asked eagerly

"Here, I pretended to say that I had gone to her house to buy silk and satin before, and I still owed a tael of silver, and I came to pay it back today. The monkey said proudly.

"Brother Monkey, some people believe your lies!" the thin black man on the side pouted

"Side-eyed, why don't anyone believe me? ”

"Brother Monkey, don't be angry, you can only shave your head and knock it on the monk's wooden fish!" The tall thin man on the side, with his two front teeth exploding outward, said in a sycophant.

"Big buckteeth!" scolded Bianyan

"Don't joke about the three of you first, Brother Monkey, let me ask you, let's tie up people in a while, how do you get them back to the cottage!" Zhang Chengfu swept his gaze over the three of them. Finally, it landed on the face of the thin monkey, and the eyes of the thin monkey were paired.

"When I went out, the dog boss only told me to tie the mother and son up the mountain, but he didn't say how to get them back. The thin monkey looked at Zhang Chengfu with a puzzled expression.

"Brother Monkey, if we tie up her mother and daughter and carry them back, these more than 40 miles, carrying two people, will definitely not be able to go fast, if someone in this Lijia Village goes to the city to report to the official, and the officers and soldiers catch up, why do you have to be caught, what is the fate of being caught, I don't say that you also understand!. ”

Bian Yan stopped talking to the big buck teeth, and looked at the thin monkey, the thin monkey: "What do you watch me do, give you a tender explanation, Lao Tzu doesn't know what to do." "Nen" is a Sichuan dialect, which means "so". What does "bag" mean? The thin monkey scratched his head: "Why don't we go back to the cottage now, and no one will be tied up." Anyway, the Li family told me too. ”

"Li said something to you. Zhang Chengfu pretended to be careless, he had to hide his anxious emotions, so as not to be suspicious. When he went out, he saw Wang Shi anxiously wanting to follow the monkey, and he knew that this matter must have something to do with him. I have nothing to do and admit such a troublesome cousin. I have to help him, but also help myself.

"This Li said that the one who killed those two brothers was also a brother in our village, and he had a black scar on his face. ”

When Zhang Chengfu heard this, he was shocked, and sure enough, it was Wang Shi who did it, and he still said leisurely: "Why are you bandits, who TM doesn't have a few scars on their bodies." It's like farting. ”

"As I said, if you don't tie people back, you won't be able to explain to the military advisor!"

"Then what do you mean, tie up people!, you said that you were afraid that the officers and soldiers would chase you, and you didn't tie people, and you said that you couldn't explain to the dog head. The fine monkey asked Zhang Chengfu anxiously.

"Brother Monkey, I have an idea, I can tie people back, and the government can't catch up even if they come to chase them. Zhang Chengfu said, making a mysterious expression and deliberately selling off.

"Oh, Brother Zhang, do you have any ideas, hurry up. Several people urged Zhang Chengfu to speak quickly.

"It's still early, if we go to tie up people, this Lijia Village, and Zhangzhou City are only four or five miles away, run in and report to the official, our brothers must be finished, according to my meaning, wait until the second half of the night, after the time is moving, as soon as you come, the people in the village go to report to the official, and the city gate can't enter, and the soldiers guarding the city will not open the door. Second, it's midnight, there are still two hours before midnight, you brothers, go to Quma Town, there is a coachman in the back street of Quma Town, with a few mules, you go and grab a mule cart. After a while, we took the car back, and after passing the Loess Ridge, we abandoned the car and used a mule to hump her two, so that we could save energy and worry about being caught up. ”

"Why don't I know that there are mules in Quma Town, why didn't I grab them back last time I came to Quma Town to collect grass. The fine monkey fox looked at Zhang Chengfu suspiciously.

"This coachman's family lives in the back street of Quma Town, and the last time he came to rob Quma Town, the king considered that the road was far away and there were too many things to take away, so he asked everyone to only grab a row of merchants on the street, so the back street did not go at all. I didn't go back empty-handed, I was just walking around the back streets. Just look at it, I didn't expect it to come in handy today. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a girl, did you say that you ran to the back street and ruined the girl. Hahaha" side eyes, and big buckteeth, also echoed and laughed with the thin monkey.

"Hurry up, you brothers, I'll stay here and observe the situation. Zhang Chengfu urged the three of them to get up and go to Quma to see how far the three of them had gone. Hurriedly walked to the village, asked an old woman, found Li Lujing's house, walked to the door, and saw a large family eating in the kitchen, sitting around the big wooden table, Zhang Chengfu quickly flashed into the kitchen.

The six people who were eating looked at Zhang Chengfu with surprised eyes, and Li Tujing asked angrily, "Which one are you?"

Zhang Chengfu said eagerly: "I won't explain more to you, the bandit leader of Lion Rock stirred up, knowing that those two bandits died in Boss Liang's house, and the man who came to give you a tael of silver just now was sent by him to inquire about the situation, and he will kill your whole family in the middle of the night." Hurry up and go, you can't stay on the ground in Zhangzhou. ”

"Ahh

The family panicked, and Zhang Chengfu urged: "Pack up your things immediately, only bring gold and silver, and leave immediately." It's too late to die. ”

"Why are you farmers, what gold and silver can you have, and sell some vegetables, it is only enough for daily expenses, and sometimes you can't make ends meet. Li Tujing sighed after speaking. Zhang Chengfu took out ten taels of silver from his arms, handed them to Li Lujing, and told them to get up and leave immediately, the city gate has not yet closed, hurry into the city, go to the dock to take a boat to leave Zhangzhou. The farther you go, the better.

Afraid that they would not leave, Zhang Chengfu personally urged him to get up, sent all the way into the city, and returned to the grove at the entrance of the village with confidence after watching the boat. After sending away this bomb, I was a little relieved, after all, I went back, and there was no proof. After sitting in the grove and waiting for two hours, twenty miles back from Lijia Village to Quma, the three of them walked back, found the coachman's house, and robbed the mules and horses, and it was estimated that it would take two to three hours to get it done. It wasn't until it was almost ugly that I saw a mule cart in front of it in the moonlight, with a lantern in front of it, driving over.

The car stopped at the edge of the grove, the thin monkey and bucktooth jumped out from inside, Zhang Chengfu stood up and greeted him: "You masters, go to you M tender for a long time, and wait for Lao Tzu to be sleepy." ”

"You also said that we went to the coachman's house and asked several people before we found him in an alley in the back street, and the coachman was five big and three thick, and his buck teeth and side eyes couldn't tie him up. The monkey said, glancing at the buckteeth.

"And then, you got the car again. ”

"I saw that the two of them couldn't hold the coachman, and I was afraid that he would make a noise, so I pulled out a short knife and went up to him by the neck. ”

"You killed him, what about his wife and son. Zhang Chengfu asked

"I didn't see it, but the coachman was alone at home when we went, and after killing him, he hid his body under the bed. Then when I came out, I locked the door. We just got in the car. The bucktooth interface said.

"I said you've been going for so long. Zhang Chengfu pretended to complain

The fine monkey urged, we still hurriedly started the handle, the four people got on the screw car, followed the road into the village, parked the car at the door of Li Lujing's house, Zhang Chengfu said to stay to see the car, the fine monkey took people to get off the car quickly to Li Lujing's house, found that the house was dark, thought it was already asleep, pushed the door in, lighted the fold, lit the oil lamp on the table, looked around, no one was seen, the big buck teeth and side eyes looked at the thin monkey, the thin monkey whispered: "Really TM saw the hell, where did the people go, did they go to relatives at night?" ”

"Brother Monkey, what are you going to do with your relatives, I think you must have run away. "I complained

"Brother Monkey, did you say that you leaked your mouth when you came just now, or did something to make people see the flaws. Bucktooth also asked complainingly

"Oh yes, this family is really better than a monkey, and it caused Lao Tzu to lose a tael of silver, which is really quiet. Awesome!awe!" said the little monkey as he walked out, and the three of them came back and jumped into the mule cart.

"What about you three, the bundlers, who came back empty-handed. Zhang Chengfu pretended to be anxious and asked

"Run!" said the bucktooth interface

"Why did you run away? The three of you, catch two, you can't catch them!"

"That's because we can't catch it, and when we go in, the people have already run away. "Side eyes anxiously discern

"Brother Monkey, you remember correctly, it's not here. Zhang Chengfu asked pretending to be concerned

"I can remember the wrong place, let's drive back. The fine monkey impatiently urged Zhang Chengfu

The car turned around, hit two whips on the back of the mule, and made two snaps, two sounds, the screw car quickly drove out of Lijia Village, and passed Quma Town in half an hour, the mule walked weakly, slowed down, several people did not speak, and when it came to Jiaomao, the car arrived at the Loess Ridge, and the road came to the end, and the road was in front of the mountain. The car was unloaded and placed on the side of the road, with buckteeth leading the mules in front and several people following behind. Go to the cottage.

"I didn't say anything wrong at the time, how did you say that the Li family noticed it. The little monkey was still thinking hard about what he had said and done with the Li family just now.

Zhang Chengfu also made a thought: "You tell me in detail, and I will help you analyze and analyze." ”

The thin monkey told all the things that had happened to the Li family again.

Zhang Chengfu looked at the thin monkey again: "Brother Monkey, someone must have seen the short knife tied to your leg, and the head of the knife let her see it." ”

The thin monkey looked carefully, and from the outside, he could indeed see the head of the knife handle, and then suddenly he said: "So that's the case, I was careless." Hey!"

"I'll go back later, why can't you tell the truth about it. ”

Zhang Chengfu knew that if he told the dog head the truth, the dog head would definitely suspect himself and report to the Li family. The monkeys had to change their tune.

The monkey asked, "What do we say?"

"When we went back, we said that we went to grab the mule cart first, and then went to Lijia Village, but when we went, the Li family had already gone to the building. It must be that he was afraid of reprisals, so he had already left this place. If you say that it was because of your carelessness that the Li family found out that you were a bandit and ran away, the dog head would definitely punish you. ”

"Brother Zhang, you are much smarter than me, follow Brother Monkey in the future, as long as my brother and I have meat to eat, you will have meat to eat. The thin monkey gratefully climbed Zhang Chengfu's shoulder with his hand. Then he told Bucktooth and Side Eye about these words. Several of them have unified their caliber.

When I returned to the cottage, it was already dawn, and as soon as I entered the village, I tied the mule to the stake at the door of the kitchen. Ran into the kitchen to find something to eat, at this time Wang Shi had just boiled porridge, and it was time for breakfast after a while.

Wang Shi took a few bowls, served porridge for the four of them, and picked up a few cornmeal nests in the steamer. A pot came out, and several people were hungry.

"Brother Monkey, you guys went well last night. Wang Shi asked tentatively

"Don't mention it, run away," Bucktooth was about to continue, when the monkey glared at him. Seeing this, Bucktooth hurriedly picked up the porridge and took a sip of it, and stopped talking.

Wang Shi didn't ask, the thin monkey ate the nest head in his hand in a few bites, and then said: "When we went, the people had already left, and they pounced." After a few people had breakfast, they went back to the dormitory to sleep, and the rest of the bandits went to the restaurant to eat one after another, and Wang Shi began to get busy. I was secretly happy.

After breakfast, the dog head walked in the village with the-stirring stick, wandered around, and saw Wang Shizheng making a large bundle of grass to feed the mules. The-stirring stick asked curiously: "Doghead, when did we start raising mules in the village?" "Because the four paths down the mountain are all sheep intestine paths, circling on the cliffs, it is useless to feed mules and horses, only the Dongshan path is slightly smoother, and the other three roads are impassable for mules and horses at all. This is the reason why cottages have never kept mules and horses.

"I don't know, I didn't see a mule or a horse yesterday. Why is there such a thing today? The dog head was also puzzled, the two came over to see, Wang Shi looked up and saw the-stirring stick and the dog head: "The king is early, the military advisor is early." He clenched his fists

"You mule. The-stirring stick asked

"They brought it back this morning. ”

"Monkeys, they're back in the morning, and they've brought a mule?" asked the dog, staring at Wang Shi with a sly look

"Yes"

"Where did they go? ”

"Because I didn't sleep all night last night, after breakfast, I went to the back dormitory, and I saw that they were all very tired. Wang Shi explained

"Don't call them, I'll call them after lunch, let them sleep. The-stirring stick turned his back and looked up at the green hills outside the stockade.

"Wang Shi!, after a while, you killed the mule and stewed a big pot. Tonight's tooth festival. The dog head touched the mule's head with his hand, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Wang, I think our village still needs to raise a mule, for example, the last time I went to Quma Town, the brothers were tired enough, although the path up the mountain, it is really not needed, but it can also be used when going down the mountain, if there are brothers to go to Zhangzhou City to do something in the future, it is also more convenient, and there is a leg strength. ”

"Brother Zhang is right, don't kill the mule, keep it. After the stirring stick finished speaking, he pulled the dog's head out of the village and went to the back mountain.

In his spare time, he always likes to stand on the top of Lion Rock. Looking down the mountain, the green pines and cypresses all over the mountain, the pine waves are like waves, the birds are chasing and playing, and the warblers are swallowing. I was listening to the pine waves with my eyes closed.

"Look there's a rabbit over there, my lord!" exclaimed the doghead in surprise

"A few rabbits in the mountains and forests, what's all the fuss. ”

In the middle of the night, Wang Shi was sleeping on the floor of the kitchen when he was suddenly awakened by thunder. Then it rained heavily, and the raindrops crackled on the roofs. When I heard the sound of the rain, I felt that the temperature had dropped, and suddenly I felt very cold, so I went to the wall and took the cotton clothes to cover it. The body curled up in a ball.

It rained for two days, and on the morning of the third day, the weather was clear, and the stirring stick had breakfast early in the morning with about 30 people, and went out of the village gate from the Beishan path for 20 miles, and when they arrived at the autumn credit, everyone stood by the roadside pond to rest.

There are more than 20 families living here, all of whom are engaged in farming, and a big road in the middle leads directly to the Loess Ridge, which is 30 miles away. At the east end of the village is a fork in the road, go straight forward for 30 miles is the snake head mountain, go up 30 miles from the right-hand fork road, is the road to the dragon head ditch, Mopan Mountain. Although there are not many residents in this place, it is a necessary place for Longtougou, Mopan Mountain and Shetou Mountain to go to Zhangzhou City.

The stirring stick and the others were walking weakly, and the weather had just cleared, and the ground was soaked with rainwater, and the sun roasted it, and a large amount of water vapor evaporated in the air, and the air became more humid and hot.

"TM's why it's so hot today. A few minions complained to each other

The sat under the locust tree on the side of the road and wiped the sweat from their sleeves, and a team of porters were naked and wearing shorts, and the sun was shining on them. The flat shoulder rises and falls rhythmically with the steps. He lowered his head and looked at the road, and when he walked to the edge of the pond, he found the bandits sitting on the side of the road, all armed with knives and guns. At the back of the procession was a man dressed in a white silk robe and wearing a dry red concave scarf. The seven-foot-long white-faced man walked close and saw the bandits sitting by the pond, and it was the-stirring stick that was the head. I saw it a few times when I went to Mopan Mountain to loot before, so I recognized it.

The poop-stirring sticks walked to the edge of the pond and glanced at their minions, and everyone understood, and they rushed up to stop a dozen porters. The-stirring stick said, "Put down the things and get out immediately!"

The men threw their burdens, "The king spares his life!" and shouted as he ran. The smoke was gone, leaving only a man in a white robe standing on the road, and was about to turn around and run, when he was stopped by a: "Yo! The second young master of the Wu family! Where are you going!"

Hearing the call himself, he had to turn around: "King, I was just going to get some mountain goods and local products to sell in Zhangzhou City." Isn't this being accepted by the gentlemen? He smiled all over his face.

The man in the white robe was none other than the second son of the rich man Wu of Mopanshan, Wu Wendong. Today, I hired more than a dozen porters to bring some walnuts, fungus, yams, gastrodia, codonopsis, and sheepskins. and so on to make a dozen loads and transport them into the city. I don't want to meet a group of-stirring sticks as soon as I walked to Qiuqiao.

"That's really a coincidence, today we were about to go to your Mopan Mountain to bother, but I didn't expect you to help us pick these good things. Hahaha. The laughed.

"Fate, fate, hey!" Wu Wendong smiled all over his face

"It's nothing to do with you, you can go back!" the-stirring stick waved at him.

If Wu Wendong got amnesty, he turned around and ran.

"Second Young Master Wu, you go slowly, don't fall! Hahaha!" The minions coaxed behind.

"I had good luck today, and I came home with a full load as soon as I went out. The brethren picked up their things and went back. The minions carried the burden, stirred the stick, and then ran back to the cottage.

When the stirring stick went out in the morning, he said that he was going to Mopan Mountain today, and he was expected to come back in the evening, and only a dozen people were left in the cottage to guard the village at home, and the lunch meal was only made, enough for more than a dozen people to eat. Everyone was having lunch, and the stirring stick came back with the team, and the dog baby came forward to count the supplies, there were dozens of skins, and the rest were all walnuts, chestnuts and medicinal herbs. Tell the minions to move into the storeroom, and Wang Shi has to hurry up and cook. I was busy until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and I finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks. I had to be busy making dinner again, and after cleaning up in the evening, I felt some backache, so I went to the pantry and poured a pot of old wine, and saw many sacks piled up on the ground that I had just brought back today. I wanted to see what it was, and I opened several bags in a row, all of which were chestnuts, and I didn't bother to untie the rest of the bags. I touched the bottom pocket with my hand and felt that it was round inside, and it was bigger than a chestnut, so I pulled it out and opened it to see. It turned out to be walnuts. "Hey, hey, just under the drink"

I found a basin and poured out half of it. Carrying a jug in one hand and a spade in the other, he walked to the kitchen, placed it on the stove, took it over the bench, and drank it from the jug.

"Brother is so Yaxing, don't call you cousin when you drink!" Zhang Chengfu walked into the kitchen.

"Come, sit down, and have a drink or two. Wang Shi said as he got up and gave way, and he went to the side to bring a wooden stool, and the two persuaded a few glasses of wine. Zhang Chengfu looked around and said in a low voice: "You troublemaker, if it wasn't for me last time, you would be finished, and you really robbed that mother and daughter to the cottage." Your head hits the ground. ”

"Brother, thank you here, and I also feel pity for a while. ”

After Wu Ren had dinner, he went to the front hall to play cards, but he was unlucky, lost a few dollars, was irritable, and came out to hang out in the village. Passing by the kitchen door, I saw Zhang Chengfu and Wang Shi sitting around the stove drinking, Wang Shi put a walnut on the stove, patted it lightly with his right hand, and then picked up the walnut and gently peeled off the shell. When this walnut just came back, Wu Ren took a few to eat, the shell is thick and the meat is small, it is very hard, and the shell cannot be opened without hammering, and he saw that Wang Shi ate this walnut with a light pat of his palm, and he didn't make any effort. This iron walnut was shattered, this palm power! I can't help but think of the body of Laizi found in the grass by the well. There were no external injuries on his body, and there was no damage to the fur on his head, but the Heavenly Spirit Cover on his head was shattered. It is absolutely impossible to hit with a blunt object, and if it is hit with a wooden rod and hammer, it will definitely break the scalp. Looking at it this way, Wang Shi's palm power is likely to be the real culprit who broke Lai Zi's skull. But as soon as he came, Laizi died, and Zhang Fatzi disappeared. Zhang Chengfu said that he was his cousin, so there was such a coincidence. The more I thought about it, the more suspicious I felt, so I went into the kitchen as well.

"Haha! You two don't call your brother when you drink. Wu Ren shook his fat head and walked to the stove with a smile on his face.

Wang Shi politely sat down, "How did Brother Wu remember that the younger brother was here today." Then drink two drinks together. ”

"Just now I saw Brother Zhang patting walnuts, and your palm is very strong. As he spoke, he went to the basin and picked up a walnut to look at.

Wang Shi was shocked in his heart, and secretly complained to himself, why was he so careless. "Where is there any palm power, often work, rough skin and thick flesh. As he spoke, he went to the basket and found a cup and poured wine for Wu Ren.

"Haha, the toad's beard, and be modest. As he spoke, Zhang Chengfu sat down, and several people persuaded him to drink a few glasses.

Wu Ren picked up a walnut and asked Wang Shi to open it for him, wanting to see him pat the walnut with his hand, Wang Shi took the walnut and pretended to pat it a few times with his hand, but he couldn't open it, "This walnutTM is too hard, and it hurts to hit my hand." I still don't believe that I can't get you away. Then he turned around and got an axe for chopping wood, knocked the walnuts open with the back of the axe, and then smashed more than a dozen in a row, Wu Ren only kept silent, and understood in his heart that you patted the walnuts with your hands when I didn't come just now, and now that I'm here, you pretend that your hands hurt, and the more you cover up, the more it means that there are ghosts in your heart.

The three of them drank deeper, and Zhang Chengfu and Wu Ren went back to the dormitory to sleep.

Since then, Wang Shi always feels that there is always a pair of eyes secretly monitoring him, and in the afternoon Wang Shi finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks. He took a few clothes to the stream to wash, and when he came up the mountain, he wore a short coat on his upper body, a cotton hexagram on it, and a pair of black trousers and cotton trousers on the bottom. Now that it's hot, I can't wear cotton clothes. Zhang Chengfu gave him a few thin clothes to change into. In the summer, I sweat heavily, so I get to the stream every few days to wash my clothes and take a bath together. After a while, the dog baby also came to wash the clothes, and the clothes of the stirring stick and the dog head were all washed by the dog baby. He was the only two who came to wash the clothes in the stream. The rest of the bandits have a smell of their clothes, or occasionally come to wash them on a whim.

After washing clothes, I went back to the kitchen, closed the door and rested for a while, and I was about to start cooking dinner. After dinner, everyone dispersed, and some went to sleep, or some played cards in the front hall. They went about their own business. Suddenly, there was a gong sound, and all the minions in the stockade hurriedly rushed to the empty dam in the middle of the front. Striking the gong is an order to assemble urgently. After a while, the stirring stick, the dog head, and the came to stand on the high ground in front of the dam, the dog head began to roll call, pointed to Brother Zhang Ying, and shouted several times, Wang Shi didn't remember that he was calling himself for a while, and stood at the door of the kitchen to watch, at this time the dog baby ran over: "The military adviser called you, go over quickly, gather urgently." Punctuality, why don't you agree. At this time, Wang Shi remembered that his name is now Brother Zhang Ying. Then he followed the dog baby to the playground and promised: "Yes!"

The dog head finished naming: "It's all here." Said to the-stirring stick

"Tonight, I suddenly gathered and disturbed the brothers, because something happened in the cottage, and when the dog went to check the warehouse tonight, I found that the lock had been broken, and there was fifty taels of gold missing in it. In this poor and remote area, my brothers and I have been saving up for more than ten years, just like this, it was the brother who took it, and took it out himself, I can spare him this time, if I don't take it out myself, I will find it out later, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Everyone was speechless, and no one was willing to come out to admit the account, and the gate of the village was always closed, and no one went out, even if they stole gold, they were still in the village.

"Since no one is willing to admit it, today is to dig three feet into the ground and find out the gold. But for the sake of the brothers, I asked once, who it was, and immediately admitted it, I can not pursue it, I am confused for a while. If I still don't admit it, I'm going to start searching. ”

"There are no fewer people in the Dawang Village, and I went to the warehouse this morning, and the lock is still good. No one left the village in the afternoon, and the gold must still be in the village, so I took a few brothers to search room by room, but I didn't believe that I couldn't find it. "The dog baby is very confident

", you and the dog baby take a few brothers and search for me!"

The and the dog baby took a few people, divided into two teams, and searched from the front hall to the back, searched several houses in the cottage, found nothing, and returned to the playground

"No!" said the dog

"No!" the also led the man back to the playground from behind

"Have you searched all your houses?" asked the-stirring stick

"All the way up to the right side of the stream, all five rooms have been searched. The dog said

The-stirring stick looked back at the with an inquiring gaze. The said, "The house here has been searched, only the kitchen and pantry, and I haven't gone there." ”

"Let's search!" the led a few more people to the kitchen.

Everyone first went to the storeroom to rummage around, it was full of grain, bacon, and jerky, wine, and other miscellaneous items, and looked through it for a while, and a few minions were tired, and the came out of the storeroom and walked around the kitchen, and saw a few clothes hanging on the wall, so he stepped forward and lifted it with his hand, and saw a white cloth bag, hidden behind the clothes, and took it down and opened it to see that it was the lost gold. "M's original is here, and it's so hard to find Lao Tzu," he turned back to the storage room and shouted: "Found it, don't turn it over." "A few of the minions inside heard that they had found it, and they all came out to see.

"Who's hiding here. One of the sassy minions said

"I don't need to ask, the chef must have done it. The rest of the minions said the same.

With the bag in his hand, the walked to the playground and handed the gold to the-stirring stick: "Everything you found in the kitchen is here." ”

The dog's head ordered the two minions to step forward and use hemp rope to turn Wang Shi to the ground, and Wang Shi quickly distinguished: "My lord, this is none of my business, I didn't steal gold! ”

"Wronged good people!, there are no good people in my cottage, and good people won't come here. Hahaha. The bandits on the playground laughed with the doghead.

"I just said it, it's not that I didn't give you a chance, you just don't admit it, and now it's found under your clothes, what else do you have to say. The evidence is ironclad, and you still want to repay the debt!" the-stirring stick walked up to Wang Shi and asked

"I really didn't steal gold, you think, if I really stole gold, I can still listen to you here like no one else!." I just made an excuse to sneak out of the stockade and find a place where no one knew me. I'm still here cooking and washing dishes with you!. ”

After hearing Wang Shi's words, the-stirring stick hesitated, and felt that it did make some sense: "Why is the gold under your clothes?

"Kill this bastard!" a few minions standing behind the playground shouted loudly, and when Zhang Chengfu looked back, these minions were often playing cards with Wu Ren. Wang Shi usually didn't offend these people, but in Ze, why did the people who stole gold hang the gold under Wang Shi's clothes, which clearly wanted to frame Wang Shi. So much gold, since it was stolen, why didn't you take it and escape from the cottage and find a place to live happily, but it was used to frame Wang Shi. It is very likely that Wu Ren saw Wang Shi's flaws and wanted to avenge Lai Zi. But there was nothing there was to do to save Wang Shi for a while.

"Someone must be trying to frame me!" Wang Shi distinguished

"Who is going to frame you!"

"It's Wu Ren!" Wang Shi had already guessed that it must have been Wu Ren who saw himself slapping walnuts with his palm that night and guessed that Lai Zi was killed by him. That's why they set up a poison plan and planted false accusations. But you can't lead the matter to Yoriko's death for a while. There had to be another reason.

"What do you have to do with Wu Ren, he wants to frame you!" the dog head walked over and asked

"Now in front of the big guy, I don't want to hide it for him, don't blame me for being unjust. Wang Shi shouted angrily.

"Don't worry, speak slowly. What's going on?" the stirrer looked at Wang Shi curiously

"King, that's the case, the night before yesterday, my cousin and I were drinking in the kitchen, Wu Ren broke in, the three of us drank together until midnight, Wu Ren and my cousin went back to the dormitory together, I just closed the door, ready to sleep, Wu Ren turned back again, as soon as he entered the door, he closed the door with his hand, and said to me, he wanted me to help him, said that he had a bottle of centipede, gecko wine, let me take it to the wine that the king drank, after poisoning the king and the, he became the owner of the village, and let me do the position of the leader of the, I listened to it at the time, and said that I committed a lawsuit outside, I was wanted by the government, and there was no place to stay, thanks to the king's rein, if I poisoned the kingand the chiefs, who have not become disloyal and unrighteous. If we come out to mix the rivers and lakes, we must first take the word first. Wu Ren saw that I refused to help him, so he left angrily. I didn't expect him to hold a grudge and come up with this poisonous plan to harm me. You have to call the shots, my lord. After Wang Shi finished speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed.

Wu Ren used a clay pot to soak some centipedes and geckos, as well as a pit viper, locally called a soldering iron head, which is extremely poisonous. The brothers in the cottage all know that whoever has a sore or something, it will be good to wipe it with this wine, and it has a miraculous effect in treating athlete's foot, and last year there was a big sore on the back of the-stirring stick was rubbed with this wine, and it was cured in less than two days.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, he's a dog jumping over the wall and biting people indiscriminately, don't believe it!" shouted from behind

"Tie up Wu Ren for me!" shouted the-stirring stick

The brought a few minions forward and tied Wu Ren's hands behind his back, and threw them next to Wang Shi.

At this time, two minions said: "The night before yesterday, we went out to the hut and saw the three of them drinking together." ”

"No wonder he came back so late that night, and he was still covered in wine," said another

"Wu Ren didn't expect it, you actually want to poison me, you are ruthless enough!" said the viciously. Kicked Wu Ren in the leg.

"I really didn't want to poison you, don't listen to this bastard's nonsense. Wu Ren eagerly defended

"Wu Ren, is there poisonous wine in your room, you can't rely on it. The-stirring stick raised Wu Ren's chest with his hand and asked

"Tell me! How many accomplices!"

"My poisonous wine is also to rub a sore or something for everyone, the sore on your back is still smeared with my wine, don't believe his nonsense, king. ”

-stirring sticks have always been forbidden to put poison in the cottage, so no one is allowed to put rat poison either. What he was afraid of was being poisoned by someone, Wu Ren soaked a bottle of centipede gecko viper, he knew, he originally planned to destroy it several times, but later I heard that many brothers in the cottage had sores and athlete's foot, and they were cured by the medicinal wine he soaked, and later the sores on his back were also coated with this medicinal wine. So I kept it and didn't say anything, and I was always a little jealous of this matter in my heart. Some time ago, Zhang Chengfu saw that Wang Shi's feet were itchy and itchy, so he took Wang Shi to Wu Ren to apply some medicinal wine, and later beriberi improved. Wang Shi didn't pay much attention to it at the time, he was in a hurry just now, and he happened to talk about this.

After listening to the arguments of the two of them, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, and what Wang Shi said was also the truth, Wu Ren shouted that he was wronged, and asked the king to hurry up and cure Wang Shi for the crime of stealing gold. Wang Shi and Wu Ren scolded each other. The-stirring stick looked back at the dog's head, and the dog's head took a step forward and said: "Today's matter, press it first, and then talk about it later, the gold has also been found, hand it over to the dog baby and put it in the warehouse, and arrange two brothers to guard the warehouse door in the future." Day and night shifts, do not leave people. First, put Wu Ren and Wang Shi in the cave of the back mountain. When the matter is investigated, the decision is made. ”

After the arrangement, everyone dispersed, and the next morning, everyone came to the restaurant to eat, only to remember that Wang Shi was locked up, and no one was cooking, and the stirring stick felt that this cooking thing was not a trivial matter, and he was worried that he would be poisoned, so he personally went to confiscate Wu Ren's medicine and wine and kept it himself. chose a henchman named Wang Niu'er to cook in the kitchen.

Walking along the stream from the path, there was a nondescript looking cave behind the-stirring stick's bedroom, the entrance of the cave could only be passed by one person, a tung oil lamp hung on the wall of the cave, and the five cells were side-by-side on both sides, and the fence was made of wooden sticks, and Wu Ren was locked up opposite Wang Shi. After the put them in a prison cell. The cell door was locked, leaving a minion guard at the door.

The two of them didn't know day and night in the cell, and they didn't know that it was really boring to be locked up for a few days, and every day some porridge and wowotou were brought by minions.

"Do you know what the relationship between Laizi and me is?" Wu Ren said to Wang Shi opposite

"Anyway, being idle is idle, and it's not bad to listen to your story. Wang Shi lay on the straw mat on the ground and said casually.

"My mother died when I was five years old, and my father went to the mountains every day to pick coal and sell it in Zhangzhou City to make some money, and then bought a few acres of thin fields, and his life slowly improved. But the good times didn't last long, and my father found me another stepmother, who had a son who was a few years older than me. As long as my father is not at home, my stepmother will either beat or scold me, and I don't want to eat meat for a few months. When I was fifteen years old, I often had nosebleeds and was in poor health, and Yoriko lived next door to my house, and grew up with me, and often saw me pitiful, and took eggs and sausages from home and gave them to me. The two of us play together a lot. Herding cattle together. In the winter of fifteen years old, on a cold day, my stepmother's son had already put on a newly made cotton jacket, and I was still wearing a single coat, shivering with cold. In the evening, I went to my dad and asked him to make me a padded jacket to wear. My father said, didn't you have an old padded jacket before, you will wear it, and I said that the old padded jacket can't be found. It may have been thrown away by the stepmother. My dad slapped me in the face and called me. He also said that I was not filial and suspicious. I came out of the house to herd the cattle, I felt chills all over my body at night, and the next morning I was dizzy and couldn't get out of bed, and my stepmother urged me to herd the cattle and scolded me for being a lazy. Then I went and told my father that he had kicked me out of the house. I was dying, lying in the corner, and it was Laizi who carried me back to his house, grabbed my medicine, and clothed me. After a few years, his parents died one after another, and the family had a few fields, and the county urged them to pay taxes, and the drought in the past two years was not good, and there was no money to pay. The land was confiscated by the county and deducted from the tax. We can't help it, so we're going to grab it. Later, he was wanted by the government, and he was forced to go to Lion Rock with nowhere to go. ”
