Chapter 001: Brother Yanggu Yun
Just after winter, the weather was good, the sun was good, and it was still a little cold, many plants began to spit out shoots, everything grew, and the spring girl came to the world happily. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
In Yanggu County, Dongping County, Dongping Prefecture, Dongxi Road, Beijing in the Northern Song Dynasty, everyone is jubilant, and the children are chasing after me, having fun, shouting and running happily.
In a small thatched hut in the southwest corner of the county, the family is surrounded by four walls, and the father and son of the Qiao family are sitting in the city of sorrow.
Father Qiao is more than 60 years older, he was overworked when he was young, his hair was gray, and now he is curled up in the quilt full of scars in the daytime, his back against the broken wall, and his face is haggard.
Qiao Da has been seriously ill for many years, coughed twice, and reproached his son: "You said that you are a little rabbit cub, the Ximen Daguan is rich and powerful, treats you well, and often takes care of your business, people hook up with fans and care about your, what are you doing to offend him?" Now it's okay, the Ximen Daguan is dead, Ximen Qing's Hunjia Wu Yueniang is the daughter of Qinghe Wu Tuanlian, Wu Tuanlian said hello to our Yanggu County, kicked Lao Tzu out of the army, missing that money and grain, there is no rice in the tank, how can we live these days!" (The Golden Bottle Plum is Wu Qianhu, the Northern Song Dynasty did not have the official position of a thousand households, the Thousand Households began in the Jin Kingdom, and then prevailed in the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had, and the Golden Bottle Plum works were written blindly)
In the Northern Song Dynasty, being a soldier is a profession that can be used for a lifetime, Qiao Da is old and frail, and has no ability to live, but fortunately, when he was young, he was recruited into the Xiang Army because of the disaster in his hometown, doing a little errand, and getting a fixed amount of money and food every month, although because he had no ability, he was bullied by his boss and colleagues, and he was often deducted, dealing with hunger and a full meal, and then his son Brother Yun was clever, usually selling some fresh fruits, and he could still live.
Now he has been kicked out of the civil service, and he has no money to make his money, and he cannot survive.
In the spring, his son Brother Yun didn't have any fruits to sell, the father and son pulled the famine, Qiao Da shrank in the bed, tried to move around as little as possible, saved physical strength, and tried to resist for a few more days, it was rare that Brother Yun didn't go out today, and he stayed in the house with him, and he couldn't help but scold his son.
Brother Yun is fifteen or sixteen years old, born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but because his father is too old, and he is on duty in the army, he usually does not take good care of him, he is malnourished when he is young, and he is a little thin, and when he grows up, he is messing around on the street, barely making ends meet, and his skin is a little rough, so he heard his father reproach and shouted: "Anyway, Wu Er gave a lot of silver taels, and we have a fat year!"
Qiao said angrily: "It's a fat year, I've only seen meat for two days!"
Brother Yun said: "Then blame me? As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, who knows that Wu Er is a fool, obviously there are many ways to entertain Ximen Qing, so that he is better off than dead, but he wants to kill people with a knife, and he chose the stupidest one, I originally thought that Wu Er was the head of the infantry in the county, help him, and there will be a reliance in the county in the future, who would have expected it to be like this!"
Qiao Da sighed and said: "You are an ignorant person, you can't carry the weight, the princess of the donkey day, hit you a few times, you find a time to secretly shoot her two bricks to retaliate, forget it, the old goddess can still catch you? It is worth luring Wuda to catch the rape and take revenge, how is Wuda Ximenqing's opponent, Wuda also used to help you drink cakes, he died because of this, how can you be at peace in your heart? Lao Tzu seems to be unable to survive this year, what to do in the future, you have to think twice! Don't always show off your little cleverness." ”
Qiao has been a careful person all his life, and he is afraid of stepping on ants when he walks, which is very different from Brother Yun's temperament.
Brother Yun shouted: "I know, I know, I don't want this kind of result! How can a pig-like character of Wuda be worthy of a beautiful lady like Pan Jinlian? If I have money, I will also steal it! If I pull Wu to catch the traitor, he will really catch him, and he deserves to die! If he is sensible, he will shout at the door, and his own lady will not let Ximenqing be used in vain, no matter what, he will force Ximenqing to make some blood, how good it is to get some money and spend it, I can also share a little, this Wuda, messed up everything!"
Qiao Da asked: "The silver given by Wu Er, I was still thinking of buying a house, and I told you about the Hun family when I turned around, and gave birth to a baby for Lao Tzu to take, but I didn't think that Wu Er was just taken away, and he was robbed by Wu Tuanlian's envoy, Wu Tuanlian made it powerful, and the county lord was not in charge, and his colleagues in the army were even more unreliable, we couldn't stay in this Yanggu County, we had to move away!"
Brother Yun shouted: "I have to go, Wu Qianhu is not a good person, this guy borrowed his daughter to be widowed, and the male in Ximen's family was young, and he took away his property, and from time to time vented his anger for the woman, and came to find trouble with our family, these two days outside, there are always green skins to trouble me, otherwise who is impatient to hide at home, but where to go?"
The two fathers and sons discussed where to go, there was no navigation at this time, even if there was a map, they were all military secrets, and so the idlers couldn't see it at all, and they went out with a black eye, and the two were at the bottom of the society, they didn't have much knowledge, and they were like philistines who were shrewd, and they didn't help with traveling, and they discussed for a long time, and they couldn't come up with a reason!
To put it mildly, this Brother Yun's personality is obedient, smart, and thoughtful, although he is small, he has become an old oilman in the market, and he will repay him, he refuses to suffer losses, and sometimes he can't distinguish the overall situation.
In the past, it was originally a trivial matter, there was an infantry head Wu Song Wu Erlang in Yanggu County, eight feet long, dignified appearance, thousands of catties of strength up and down, once killed the white-fronted tiger with empty hands in Jingyanggang, and the end was a hero, this Wu Erlang had a brother Wu Da, short in stature, less than five feet, ugly face, short and ridiculous, people gave the nickname: "Three inches of Dinggu bark", it was the dragon born nine sons, each different.
This Wuda is an ugly person with glamorous fortune, and by chance, he married Pan Jinlian, a beautiful lady with outstanding talent and good looks.
Wu Erlang went to Beijing on a business trip, something happened at home, Pan Jinlian guarded the three-inch Dingbaogu bark, how could he live with peace of mind, and he couldn't bear to be lonely, under the embellishment of the Wang Po next door, he hooked up with the big official Ximen Qing, a big crude drug shop business in Yanggu County, and the two were so good that they were so good that they mixed oil in honey, when Wu Dalang went out to sell cooking cakes, the two of them were prostituted in the house during the day, so unhappy.
Brother Yun is a big ghost, and when he heard this, he thought that Ximen Qing often helped himself, and he was a familiar and generous person, so he wanted to dip some oil and water, but he didn't expect that the princess guarded the door, and he was not righteous, and he didn't allow Brother Yun to drink soup when he ate meat.
Although Brother Yun was small, he refused to suffer losses, thinking about revenge, so he led Wu Da to catch the traitor and embarrass the princess.
The gears of fate begin to turn, and they cannot be controlled.
Follow-up development, Brother Yun couldn't have imagined that Ximen Qing should have been low and small, who expected this guy to be annoyed and angry, kicked Wu Da downstairs, Wu Da was injured, recuperated at home, and heard the news of Wu Da's death after a few days, so scared that Brother Yun choked enough, and he didn't dare to go to the vicinity of Wu Da's family.
When Wu Song came back from business, Brother Yun thought that he had offended Ximenqing anyway, so he didn't stop doing anything, instigating Wu Song to clean up Ximenqing, so that he couldn't take care of himself anymore.
This Wu Song's heart is ambitious, the eldest brother died unjustly, how can he give up, he killed Pan Jinlian in a rage, killed Ximen Qing in the lion building, killed him, but he wanted to go to the county government to surrender himself, Brother Yun had no choice but to be dragged to the county government to testify, and Ximen Qing's widow Wu Yueniang faced each other, Wu Yueniang knew that the matter started with Brother Yun, so she did not forgive, and her father Wu Tuanlian cried and complained, and asked Brother Yun for trouble.
Qiao's father and son thought about it for a long time, but they still had no clue, and finally Brother Yun became impatient and shouted: "Dad, why don't I go to Chai Jinchai Daguan in Henghai County, Cangzhou?
Qiao Da was overjoyed when he heard this, and his spirits were lifted, and he said, "Without further ado, let's pack up and hit the road!"
As soon as the voice fell, a loud "bang" was heard, and the hidden firewood was kicked away, and two grown soldiers squeezed into the house, these two men were majestic, dressed in red cloth robes, and filled the small house to the ground.
Qiao jumped off the bed in shock, bent his waist, clenched his fists and asked, "Two military masters, I don't know what you are doing at my house?"
When the two entered the room, the dust fell on the door, and they spat on it, and after a while, the two of them looked at Qiao's father and son.
These two people have a round face, both are full of cheeks and meat, and their faces are not good.
Fang Yan smiled and said: "After listening outside the door for a while, you two still want to go to Chai Jin, but you can't go, my master is annoyed by a little fight, let the two of me take the lives of the two of you!"
The round face sneered beside him, and his left hand pressed on his right hand, and the knuckles of his fingers gurgled.
The two of them were domineering, and it looked like they were about to burst out.
Qiao Da said with a smile: "Two military masters, for the sake of me, I am also a veteran soldier, everyone is a brother, it's good to let my father and son go back, my father and son will leave this Yanggu County immediately, and if they don't come back, I still have a little silver taels, and the two military masters will buy some wine to drink." After touching it in his arms for a long time, he grabbed a few grains of broken silver and handed them over.
Brother Yun took two steps back and stood against the wall, his face pale and uncertain, planning how to deal with it.
Fang Yan stretched out his hand to take it, and swiped it in his hand: "Who is with your compatriots and siblings?
"Good man, slow down, I'm still here!" Qiao Da lay on the bed, and hurriedly shouted before he got up.
The round face grabbed the square face, and said angrily: "Hurry up and take it out, you won't do it if you don't have a master!"
Qiao Da uncovered the bed mat, felt around in the straw on the bedding, and it took a long time to pull out a cloth bag, put the mat away, move it to the edge of the bed, and hand the cloth bag in his hand to the round face.
The round face took the cloth bag, tossed it twice in his hand, and heard the crisp sound of Ding Dingdangdang, felt that the weight was not light, and said happily: "Okay! Yes, I like to be sensible, and it is not impossible to spare you once!"
While talking, he untied the bag, poured the bag in his right hand into his left hand, and immediately became furious, there was not much broken silver, many copper plates, roughly estimated to be less than two taels, put the money into his arms, and the two strong men began to reach out and pull the knife.
Suddenly it was dark in front of him, Qiao Da pulled up the quilt on the bed, covered the two of them with his head, and shouted: "Son, run!"
