15. Arson to a restaurant
Yuezhou restaurant is separated by the city wall, close to the Han River, the second floor is parallel to the wall height, and the third floor is naturally about a foot higher than the city wall.
At this time, in the third floor of the restaurant, Feng Niang stroked the piano alone and did not move, the Taoist and the four disciples and the brothers and sisters of Zhu Ergongzi were already looking downstairs in front of the restaurant, and at this time the downstairs was full of a group of brocade guards and officers and soldiers, as well as many archers. Zhang Hamu, the birthmark general at the head, first shouted to a few people upstairs:
"Stinky Daoist, take a good look around yourself, you have no way out, hurry up and arrest it, this general can still beautify your face in front of Jiang Dudu, otherwise you will be dead today."
The Taoist replied directly to the following:
"The traitor of the court is in charge, the villain is ambitious, and the poor road is waiting for you to come up and arrest it, and Hugh has a lot to say."
At this time, Zhu Sanmei said downstairs:
"Zhang Toad, this girl, I'm waiting for you upstairs, ...... quickly" Before he finished speaking, he was blocked by Zhu Er.
Zhang Hamu was naturally unhappy when he heard people scolding him for being a toad, so he ordered the Jinyi guards around him to rush upstairs together, and when he came upstairs, he picked up the sword in his hand and slashed at the Taoist chief and everyone. The Taoist chief picked up the dust from the disciple's hand, and then picked it up, and the four Taoist disciples also joined in, and a few Jinyiwei also began to attack Zhu Er and Zhu Sanmei, but I didn't expect Zhu Er's martial arts to be good, and he directly protected Zhu Sanmei and Jinyiwei to fight.
At this time, there were three luxurious carriages with white horses and stables downstairs, and two people came down from the car, one of them was dressed in court clothes, more than sixty years old, with white sideburns and a big belly, and the other person had a sharp beak and monkey gills, and his eyes were like eagles, this person was Jiang Bin.
I saw Jiang Bin get out of the car and say to the sixty-year-old pot-bellied official on the side:
"Scholar Yang, thanks to your plan today, this audacious and stinky Taoist priest is certain to die."
It turns out that the sixty-year-old man is the first assistant today
Yang Yanhe, a scholar of Huagai Temple.
Yang Yan stroked his long sideburns with both hands and said with a smile:
"This old way was no one in his eyes at the beginning, and today he has retribution." After saying that, he laughed
At this time, a man with a crown was Yang Shen, who walked over with an unhappy face full of wine and asked Yang Yanhe:
"Father, why do you want to harm the life of the Dao Elder like this, haven't you ruined the reputation of our Yang family?"
Yang Yanhe yelled at his son Yang Shen:
"Ru Ziyan knows why he called" As soon as he finished speaking, he beckoned, and several people came up and pulled Yang Shen down.
At this time, the fight upstairs has been going on for a long time, Zhang Hamu is naturally not the opponent of the Taoist, but there are too many Jinyi guards, and they also know a little martial arts, and after a long time, they will naturally slowly become tired, and Zhu Er is the same. On the side, Feng Niang saw that Zhu Sanmei was in danger in the fight, so she took the opportunity to pull it to her side, but no one in the brocade guard did anything to Feng Niang.
At this time, Dao Chang and Zhu Er had gradually felt weak, and they were almost injured by Jinyi Wei several times. Zhang Hamu seemed to be a lot smarter at this time, deliberately avoided the Taoist, let the Jinyi guard on the side consume the Daoist's physical strength, and found an opportunity to sneak attack the Taoist, the Taoist gradually couldn't hold on, and also suffered Jinyiwei's two feet, just when Zhang Hamu attacked the Taoist's back with a knife, a monk with a nose mole jumped up from the second floor, and directly blocked Zhang Hamu's knife with a bamboo pole, this monk is the monk of Eagle Disease. When the Taoist saw more helpers, he used his spare strength to deal with Jinyi Wei again.
Downstairs Jiang Bin and Yang Yanhe saw that the upstairs fight for a long time did not see the winner, so they ordered the archers to prepare, at this time suddenly there was a fire on the first floor of the restaurant, and the flames floated to the second floor in a few clicks, on the third floor Jiang Bin and a group of brocade guards saw the fire and hurriedly retreated downstairs, and several guests on the first floor who did not leave also rushed out together, and the goal of the officers and soldiers outside the door was the Taoist chief and a few people upstairs who would not pay attention to them, but one of these people was pale, and he walked very hard The old grandfather.
The old man walked to a wall outside the encirclement of officers and soldiers and sat down, leaned against the wall and said secretly:
"Dao Chief, second brother, I can only help you, I hope you Ji people have their own natural appearance and escape this catastrophe" After speaking, he fell asleep, this person is Du Forget.
At this time, Feng Niang had already pulled Zhu Sanmei downstairs, Zhu Er saw that the third sister was taken downstairs by Feng Niang, so he thought about it, if he dared to hurt his life, he would report his identity, and said hello to the Taoist, and then followed, and when the three of them rushed out of the building from the flames, they were instantly surrounded by a group of brocade guards and officers and soldiers, and put the knife on the necks of Zhu Er and Zhu Sanmei. At this time, Feng Niang walked up to Yang Yanhe and bowed, and shouted:
"Can the father-in-law spare the lives of those two?"
Then just as he was about to speak, at this time, Chen Wanghou, a monkey-faced boy who had been hiding behind Jinyiwei, ran out, knelt down in front of Yang Yanhe and Jiang Bin and said:
"The two I caught just now are the little prince of Xingwangfu and the lord of the three counties."
When Jiang Bin and Yang Yanhe heard this, they were shocked, and hurriedly walked over in the direction of Zhu Er and Zhu Sanmei, and ordered their subordinates to put down their swords, and then Yang Yanhe pulled Jiang Bin and said to Zhu Er and Zhu Sanmei:
"The two of them have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, just to catch the thief, but they accidentally injured the little prince and the county lord, I hope the two of them don't blame."
Zhu Er thought for a while, and then politely replied:
"The two adults are important ministers of the court, how dare Xiao Wang pay so much attention to the two of you."
After Yang Yanhe and Jiang Bin finished speaking, they pulled Zhu Er to the sedan chair and began to talk, Zhu Er and the third sister were worried about the Taoist, but they were powerless at this time.
At this time, the fire on the third floor has reached the sky, and the Taoist chief had to jump into the river with four disciples.
At this time, everyone downstairs thought that the Taoist chief and the monk Yingjian had died in the fire, Zhu Er and Zhu Sanmei were very sad, so they took the opportunity to meet Yang Yan and Jiang Bin to say goodbye, left the restaurant, and returned to the inn. Yang Yanhe and Jiang Bin also left by car, Feng Niang found an old man lying by the wall on the way back, and when she saw that it was Du Cheng, she helped him back to the manor surnamed Zhang.
It turned out that although Du was in a coma last night, he heard the conversation between Feng Niang and the maid, and heard that the Taoist chief and a few people were worried about their lives today, so he dragged the injured body hard, pretending to be an old grandfather and hiding in the restaurant room, and when the fight upstairs was too loud, and Jin Yiwei continued to go upstairs to support, he remembered a trick to set fire to the building, and took advantage of the innkeeper's wife not paying attention, stole a pot of oil from the kitchen, poured it on the firewood, and lit a fire.
