The feast was hearty, and Jiang Nian was brought to the table by Zhuang Ke.

"The king spares his life, the king spares his life!" Jiang Nian saw Qin Hu and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Seven-foot man, what are you asking for?" Qin Hu sat on the top seat, staring at this person.

Jiang Nian said with a sneer on his face: "My master's house and Guizhuang are well water and do not interfere with river water, the villain is clumsy, so I have no intention of offending Guizhuang, King Qin, you will spare the villain this time, the villain will go back, and he will not dare to grin next time!"

Qin Hu said: "Heh, you dare to move out of your master's house to speak, what a pig's head, I will be angry when I look at it!"

"Ah, this ......" Jiang Nian turned back into a bitter gourd face.

Qin Hu cocked his thumb at Wang Lie and said, "My brother, the emperor can't even be provoked, you have a great ability!"

Wang Lie coughed twice, "Meng Qiu, I've said it, I've said it." ”

Jiang Nian doesn't care so much, he just kowtows like pounding garlic: "It's a small one with eyes and no beads, and I regret it very much afterwards!"

"Listen up, go back to me, and bring a message to He Yuanwai—"

When Jiang Nian heard that he could actually go back, he was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes! I don't know what the king commands?"

"I'm afraid you don't have a good memory, so I'll write a special book and read it for myself. Qin Hu threw a letter on the ground.

Jiang Nian picked it up and looked at the contents, his face stiffened, "This, this, this ......"

It reads: "You melon peel, shameless to the extreme, taking advantage of the disaster year to harm the neighbors, disrupting the Dharma meeting run by my kindness, and trying to murder him in the Liuqiao River, since ancient times good and evil will be rewarded, and now your people have been captured by me, and I order you to return the annexed grange within three days, and you are not allowed to claim it back; as for those women who are forcibly occupied by you, you must find them a good family, and marry them with the bride price, if you refuse to admit it, I will send all your people to the government to surrender, and you and I will see you in court at that time!" I saw that the handwriting on the paper was crooked and sloppy, there was no calligraphy beauty, and the words used were concise and concise, so it was believed that it was written by Qin Hu.

"Why?

"This, the king...... Isn't it embarrassing......" Jiang Nian said hesitantly.

"Come on, pour chili soup. ”

"Don't, don't, the king has a lot, don't, don't!" Jiang Nian said with a sad face: "I, I, I will go back and truthfully convey it to the master's family, the king can rest assured!

Qin Hu said to Wang Lie: "Haicheng Gong, what do you think of this?"

Wang Lie nodded and said, "That's very good!"

Qin Hu said to Zhuang Ke: "Come on, drag him out and give him a horse!"

"Yes, owner!"

Zhongzhuang Ding stepped forward to take Jiang Nian out of the hall and drove him out of Haw Par Villa......

Qin Hu raised his glass, turned to Wang Lie and said, "Come, Haicheng, our brother will drink again, don't let this guy lose his interest!" "Meng Qiu, please-"

The two of them drank three white drinks, Qin Hu put down the cup and asked, "Haicheng, I don't know how the old shipowner is doing now, and how is the fleet's ocean-going trade progressing?"

Wang Lie replied: "My father-in-law's health is fine, but now he has retired to Pinghu and handed over the fleet to me to take care of, and his old man has become a prince of peace on the island." ”

Qin Hu sighed and said, "I have heard that the old shipowner has the intention to belong, I don't know what the imperial court means?"

"The father-in-law has been attached to the imperial court for a long time, since Hu Zongxian arrived as the governor of Zhejiang, he also intends to mediate, but Uncle Fang, Uncle Ye and many other owners are against Zhao'an, and now they are inconsistent. Wang Lie said.

"Wen Fang and Ye Ergong followed the old shipowner, and their words are also very important. Haicheng, what do you think about this?" Qin Hu said.

Wang Lie thought for a while and said: "Since Hongwu, the dynasty has closed the sea and forbade it, and in the early years of Jiajing, the Japanese envoys fought for tribute, the stricter the ban, the more the folk plates were not allowed to go to the sea, and the Silk Road trade was almost cut off. Although our generation has built a flag on the sea and controlled the Orient, in the eyes of the people in the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, it is just an outlaw who has broken the ban by arms and gathered in the East...... I want to recruit peace, don't talk about other people, even my father-in-law will not agree. ”

Qin Hu sighed and said: "You have been raising the sea with the old ship owner for ten years, defending the border for the country, selling goods in Zhejiang and Fujian, and sharing the benefits with others. Qin Hu hammered the table case fiercely, "I only hate the central and central government for being in power, treacherous and rampant, controlling the court, blinding the saints, and wasting your and the old shipowner's hard work of serving the country with sincerity!"

"Those who know me, the second and third sons, Meng Qiu should be one of them. ”

"Come on, drink, you and I haven't seen each other for many years, today is a happy day, so I won't talk about these troubles. ”

At this time, another dealer came in to report.

"Owner!"

"What?"

"The owner, Doctor Liu suddenly said that he was leaving, and the villain couldn't persuade him. ”

"What?"

Doctor Liu, Lang Zhong hired by Haw Par Villa, his medical skills are second to none in Guanzhong, and he is given the nickname "Angry Death Yama", on weekdays, the villagers practice martial arts, and they are inevitably scarred, but he is indispensable to be busy.

"Why is this Divine Doctor Liu leaving?" Qin Hu asked, Qin Hu thought to himself, he treats him well on weekdays, why is he leaving in a hurry today, is it too little money for the month?

The dealer said, "He said, he said......"

Zhuang Ke was struggling, and an old man walked in slowly with a medicine box on his back, shaking his gray beard and said: "Master Qin, Ling Lang has no medicine to treat, and he is old and incompetent, so he came to resign to the owner of the village!"

When Qin Hu heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, stood up and replied, and asked him respectfully, "Is this ...... What the hell is going on? I hope Mr. will make one or two things clear. ”

Doctor Liu shook his head and said in a slow tone: "Ling Lang is sick in bed, I have repeatedly told him not to get close to women, but now you can take a look...... As soon as the high fever subsided, he committed adultery again, alas, Liu's medical skills were shallow, and he couldn't cure Ling Xun's stubborn illness, but he couldn't smash this signboard to save the world, so he had to come to resign to the owner of Qin Zhuang. ”

Qin Hunai asked, "Where is my son Qin Yi?"

There is a Zhuang guest below who replied: "In the Hehuan Cave Mansion in the back mountain, I am playing with all the maids!"

Qin Hu scolded Zhuang Ke: "Why don't you take a good look at him?"

A villager replied: "I heard that there are distinguished guests coming, I am busy in the village, and the young owner will take advantage of our carelessness and slip up the back mountain to have fun......"

Another Zhuang guest replied: "Yes, the young owner went to Hehuan Cave Mansion, no one can persuade him to come back, and the small ones don't dare to use the strong, we are not good at doing things, please punish the owner of the village......"

"Please punish the owner. "Everyone in the village is right.

Qin Hu sat down, patted his knees and sighed, "Alas, my unscrupulous son......"

Wang Lie said: "Young people don't know abstinence to protect themselves, and parents must not ignore it." ”

Qin Hu said: "Haicheng said very much, but my dog is obscene and romantic, and he often wanders in the willow lane of the flower street, and he does not change it repeatedly, which is really painful!"

Wang Lie said: "You might as well let me talk to Ling Lang in the next place, enlighten from it, or remedy it." ”

When Qin Hu heard this, he said, "How is this appropriate? Haicheng is a distinguished guest!"

Wang Lie said: "You and I are lifelong friends, Meng Qiu can trust Wang Lie, so there is no need to shirk, and tell how to go up to the back mountain." ”

Qin Hu praised: "Haicheng is noble, then Qin is disrespectful, please come with me!"

"Please. ”

Qin Hu got up and led Wang Lie out of the hall, followed by a group of people.

......

The words are divided into two ends.

said that Jiang Nian came out of Haw Par Villa and returned to Liulin Town in despair.

The closer he got to Hefu, the colder his heart became.

Jiang Nian, who was originally the right-hand man of He Yuanwai, was still thinking about how to flatter the outsider and marry He Fu's daughter, but now he poked out such a big basket...... According to Qin Hu and Wang Lie's intentions, not only did He Fu return the farms annexed in the disaster year, but also prepared a bride price for those persecuted women, when did He Yuanwai, who had dominated Liulin for so many years, suffer such a dumb loss?

As far as the public is concerned, if he really wants to go to court with Qin Hu, He Yuanwai is just a tyrant of Liulin, and the other party is a heroic man in Guanzhong, the financial resources and power of Hubao Villa are not comparable to the rich man of He Land, and the other party has more than ten witnesses in hand, the lawsuit will undoubtedly be lost, and the main family will have to pay for it;

When Jiang Nian thought of this, how should he explain it when he went back? Thinking in his heart, he walked in despair......

Suddenly, Jiang Nian saw a large number of people gathered in front of him, arguing and talking about it.

"Fellow countrymen, the tolerance of the government is here!"

"What's the matter, let's go over and take a look!"

"He's a thief ...... the ocean," the villagers discussed.

Jiang Nian was stepping forward, he squeezed into the crowd with difficulty, and saw a few officials with knives in their hands, each wearing black official hats and robes, and they were posting lists.

"Wang Lie, the leader of the bandits on the five islands, plundered the south of the Yangtze River, killed innocents indiscriminately, and his crime is unforgivable, and he should be punished according to the law. In the current stream, those who are the heads of the people and the righteous men of the green forest will be rewarded with a reward of 1,000 taels and worshiped by the general of the auxiliary country; if they know that they are hiding and tell them, they will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver and exempted from payment for three years; if they do not report the information, they will be punished for the same crime. Daming Fengxiang Mansion, Jiajing Yimao year of the twenty-seventh month of the month. ”

The elder man at the head read the list from head to toe, and said to the villagers: "In Xia Shen Lian, the year is here, I am ordered to arrest the Qin prisoner Wang Lie, that is, the person on the portrait, all the fathers and villagers of Liulin Town, if anyone has seen this person, I hope to tell the truth! Once it is verified, the government will be rewarded!"

The villagers looked at the portrait, only to see the person in the painting, Kong Wu heroic, dignified, it was Wang Lie of Lingshan Temple, the villagers felt the grace of food, and most of them were silent. Suddenly, a voice in the crowd said, "This, this is not ...... Is Wang Dashan a good person?" everyone followed the sound, and the speaker was none other than villager Zhang Laosi.

The words reached the ears of the tolerances, and Shen Lian immediately got into the crowd and grabbed Zhang Laosi by the collar, Zhang Laosi exclaimed: "Official, what are you doing with me?"

"Could it be that you have seen the Qin prisoner, and where is he now?" asked Shen Lian, pointing to the portrait on the inscription.

"I don't know...... I don't know, sir, I really don't know!" Zhang Laosi said continuously.

"Hmph, look at you, you must be tired, if you don't invite you truthfully, I will take you away!" Shen Lian shouted.

Zhang Laosi was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Officials, officials, officials...... Official, I heard that there was a fast in the temple, so I also went with me, and when I came to the foot of Lingshan, I saw him once, and he left......"

"When?"

"It's noon today. ”

After listening to what he said, Shen Lian let him go.

At this time, another team returned and escorted the abbot of Lingshan Temple here.

Yi Liang pointed to the portrait of Bangwen and asked, "Old monk, take a look!"

"Don't be rude to the master. Shen Lian stepped forward, bowed to the old monk, and asked: "Master, I heard from the villagers that Wang Lie has been to your temple today, and Shen wants to ask the master to pass the Dharma Eye to see if it is the person in this portrait?"

The abbot of Lingshan Temple read the pictures and texts on the list, and slowly bowed back to him and said: "Good, good, this benefactor on the portrait has indeed been in our temple to help sentient beings, Wang Shizhu bought more than a dozen carts of rice and grain in one go, this famine year, can be regarded as the food and clothing parents of all living beings in Liulin, such a living Bodhisattva, how did he become a fugitive who kills people without blinking, hehe, could it be that you have made a mistake in the yamen? Amitabha." ”

The tolerance on the side scolded angrily: "What are you talking nonsense about this old bald donkey, this is a key offense of Qin, there is the emperor's imperial pen Zhu Criticism!

The abbot bowed to him: "Amitabha." ”

Shen Lian asked, "Let me ask the master, where has this person gone now?"

"The king said goodbye to the old man, and said to himself that he traveled all over the world, and he didn't know where he was, Amitabha. ”

"I know! I know!" A voice came from the crowd, and Jiang Nian jumped out of the crowd and shouted: "Lord Tolerance, I know!"

"What do you know?" Shen Lian asked him.

"Hehe, what the villain said, naturally it is the whereabouts of that Wang Lie. When Jiang Nian saw this situation, it was like a willow and a flower, like a life-saving straw, how could he miss the opportunity.

"Oh, where is Wang Lie, tell me the truth!" Shen Lian asked him, and immediately a group of people surrounded Jiang Nian.

"Hehehe, since Wang Lie came out of Lingshan Temple, the villain has been quietly following him, crossing the Liulin Stone Bridge in the north of the town, and going to ...... Ahem. Jiang Nian coughed twice when he said this, and stopped.

"Where did you go?" Shen Lian asked him.

How do you know that Jiang Nian's words turned around, and he said left and right: "Hehe, ladies and gentlemen, Wang Lie, this traitor is a cunning rabbit, the little one braved such a big wind and snow, and walked back and forth for dozens of miles of mountain roads, so it was not easy to find out his whereabouts...... Hehehe, is it true?"

Jiang Nian said that what was written on the list was "know that he is hiding to tell him, and reward a hundred taels of silver", to say that this one hundred taels of silver is nothing less than a huge sum of money for Jiang Nian, who is on an errand in He Mansion, and he can even go back to He Mansion as a slave without having to be low, can he not care?

Shen Lian glanced at his subordinates, Jiang Nian also pointed to the one hundred taels of silver on the list, and was happily selling Guanzi, but unexpectedly people were set up left and right and left, Jiang Nian hurriedly said: "What do you want to do, let go of me!"

Those tolerances couldn't help but say, and dragged Jiang Nian into the tea shop on the side. Jiang Nian asked in surprise: "Where are you taking me?"

"I want to invite you up for tea!" After Shen Lian finished speaking, his subordinates carried Jiang Nian upstairs and entered the private room on the second floor, which put him down.

Jiang Nian stood still in fright and looked around cautiously.

In the private room, a middle-aged man dressed in a mink fur sat on the main seat, and Shen Lian stepped forward to salute him: "My lord, this person knows the whereabouts of the Qin prisoner, and we brought him here." ”

The mink man's face was gloomy, and he couldn't see the expression on his face, and his hand stretched out from the mink fur.

"Sit down. ”

Jiang Nian looked left and right, and a fat man pushed Jiang Nian: "The adult will let you sit!"

Jiang Nian was so frightened that he hurriedly sat down.

"Pour tea. ”

A thin tolerance put a tea bowl in front of Jiang Nian, and the fat tolerance picked up the teapot, and the thin water flowed down for a long time.

The teacup was full, and the mink man made a please.

Jiang Nian didn't dare to slack off, picked up the tea and drank it, and as soon as he took a sip, he was scalded by the tea and spit it out.

"Please!"

Jiang Nian looked left and right, all the tolerances were equipped with knives and sticks, standing left and right, looking at this posture, Jiang Nian thought, if you don't make it clear today, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of this house.

Shen Lian knocked on the table next to him and said, "Hey, you quickly explain the truth, and you can't hide anything!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, villains...... The villain naturally knows...... I just want to ask one more question...... "Jiang Nian is still supportive, although he is happy to give advice, he cares more about the reward of the government."

Shen Lian said to him: "This is easy to say, if what you say is true, it is not a problem to reward the silver!"

"Ah yes! Yes! This lord, all the officials, according to the villain's own eyes, that Wang Lie is in the north of the willow forest, in the tiger and leopard villa on the Jiuli slope at this moment!"

"Fengxiang Qin Mengqiu is a Guanzhong Wang clan, do you see clearly?" asked Shen Lian.

"The little one saw with his own eyes, Qin Hu specially set up a banquet to entertain Wang Lie, what the villain said is true, how dare he deceive?"

The mink man got up and pointed at Jiang Nian: "Let him take us, Shen Lian, Jin Jie, count all the horses, and leave immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"
