Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After the village Baozheng handed over the land deeds that day, the next day, the wolf-like government officials began to check the fields of each village. Farmers from several villages had conflicts with the government officials because of protecting the land. All the county soldiers were dispatched to arrest Shang.  It took hundreds of troublemaking men to frighten the people in each village.

    Because Chao Gai had no intention of resisting in Dongxi Village, Kuotian progressed quickly, and the village soon returned to peace. However, the owner of the land changed, and the villagers still lived a life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

    Chao Gai, the head of the village, did not close his doors to thank guests because he lost his land, so men from all walks of life came to join him from time to time.

    When the sun was about to set, three fast horses appeared at the entrance of the village and stopped in front of Chao Gaizhuang.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out of sight, it was the young village owner Chao Yong, the village master Chao Yong, the village leader Chao San, and a strange man.

    The diners had already come out to check when they heard the sound of horse hooves. When they saw that the young village owner was coming back, they hurried forward to greet him.

    Chao Yong handed the horse to Chao San and asked, "Is my father here?"

    "The owner of the village and a few guests are drinking in the back garden."

    After hearing this, Chao Yong guessed who they were, and took Shi Qian to the back garden. As expected, he saw Chao Gai and three others drinking wine under the grape trellis. One of them, Wu Yong and Wu Xuexue, was known to Chao Yong, and the other two  They were easy to recognize. One was wearing Taoist robes, the other had red hair, and a piece of cinnabar mark on the temples. They were obviously Gongsun Sheng, the dragon in the clouds, and Liu Tang, the red-haired ghost.

    When Chao Gai saw Chao Yong coming back with a lean man, he stood up and said, "Yong'er is back. Who is this hero?"

    When Shi Qian saw Chao Gai getting up, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Shi Qian in Gaotang Prefecture has met King Chao Tian."

    Chao Yong added: "Shi Qian is good at flying over eaves and walking over walls. He is known as the flea on the drum. He was a child who met him in Qizhou."

    When Chao Gai heard that Shi Qianshan was flying over the eaves and walking over the wall, he immediately frowned, clasped his fists and said "Jiu Yang", and then said to Chao Yong: "I came here to meet three uncles. Professor Wu, you know, this is Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng.  This is the red-haired ghost Liu Tang."

    This is what Chao Yong is most reluctant to do. The heroes Chao Gai has made friends with are all a generation older than him.  Liu Tang was only twenty-four or five years old. In his heart, he wanted to treat him like a brother. Unfortunately, his father got acquainted with Liu Tang first.  Fortunately, he, the three heroes of the Ruan family, and Lin Chong are all called brothers, so when they go to Liangshan, they can find opportunities to change their titles, otherwise they will be uncles all over the mountain.

    Chao Yong stepped forward and bowed: "My nephew Chao Yong has met three uncles."

    "We haven't seen each other for a few months, and Brother Yong has already earned the reputation of being a little bully. Even if Xiaosheng stays in the countryside, he has already heard of the reputation of a little bully." Wu Yong and Chao Yong knew each other, so they joked.

    "Sir, you are joking, Chao Yong is just a newcomer."

    Wu Yong shook his fan, stared at Chao Yong and said: "Brother Yong's trick of scattering gifts is a clever trick. He can gain such a great reputation without spending any money. It's a good way to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha."

    Gongsun Sheng also looked at Chao Yong curiously, shook his head and said: "It's easier said than done. That Jiang Menshen has been ranked first for two years in a row. He obviously has some tricks. Not many can beat him in sumo wrestling. Even those many  Who can take no money and things like Brother Yong?"

    Chao Yong also looked curiously at Gongsun Sheng, who was said to be able to call the wind and rain in the Water Margin, and said: "It's just some external things, not worth mentioning. However, my nephew has heard many times in the rivers and lakes that the Taoist priest can call the wind and rain, and soar the clouds and ride the mist. I don't know.  When will my nephew be able to open his eyes?"

    Gongsun Sheng laughed "haha" and said: "There is no such thing as calling the wind and rain in this world. A poor man can only guess the changes in the weather, add some alchemy skills, and occasionally fool some corrupt officials and evil gentry. If there is no cloud in the sky.  , who dares to call for rain?"

    Chao Yong felt relieved after hearing this.

    ¡° If there really are those monsters in the world who spread the beans and become soldiers, then no matter how abnormal his body is, he can¡¯t stand up to other people¡¯s magic, so there is no need to worry about it. Go to the mountains to learn some Taoism, and then the gold-killing soldiers will just blow a few breaths.

    However, in ancient times when there were no scientific instruments to observe weather changes, Gongsun Sheng's ability was considered very remarkable and had many uses in marching and fighting.

    Wu Yongdao: "Xiaosheng, there is one more thing that needs to be solved by Brother Yong."

    "Sir, he is full of knowledge and resourceful. How can Chao Yong solve his doubts?"

    "How can I dare to say that I am full of knowledge when I am just a scholar? When I went to Shijie Village before, I heard the Ruan family's three heroes talking about you once saying that after three months, the Ruan family's three heroes will not be oppressed by the court, but I don't know what you mean?"

    Wu Yong has stayed in Dongxi Village for several years and is naturally very familiar with Chao Yong.  If it had been before, Chao Yong would have asked directly what was going on, and he would definitely not be so humble.

    That day, a meteor fell and a fire broke out in Chao Gaizhuang. He also came to visit.

    Later, I heard that Chao Yong had changed a lot since the fire. At first, he thought he was just frightened, but he realized otherwise after seeing him today.  But what caused the originally rude Chao Yong to change?There are many things, and Wu Yong, who is known as a wise man, can't see through it. He doesn't believe in the reincarnation of the Star King.

    Chao Yong also thought about using the reincarnation of Xingjun to win people's hearts, but he has no special functions, and the plot in Water Margin is also afraid of being unreliable. Telling it will make people suspicious. It is better to take a step back and remain mysterious, and let them contact the shooting star to speculate, and said with a smile  : "The boy saw that the three heroes of the Ruan family are highly skilled in martial arts and have a straightforward temper. They will not be able to bear it for three months if the Gongtian Institute cuts off their jobs, and they will at least have to become enemies with the imperial court."

    Wu Yong looked at Chao Yong suspiciously, which barely made sense, and nodded: "I see."

    Chao Gai interjected: "Let me tell you, if there hadn't been a sudden peasant uprising in Hebei, Birthday Gang would not have left Jingdong. How could he know about Birthday Gang? Sir, you are worrying too much."

    When Chao Yong saw Chao Gai talking, he pretended to be surprised and said: "The whole way I came back, I was hunted down by officials. Could it be that my father did the birthday issue?"

    Seeing Chao Gai look at Shi Qian, he said: "He is my close brother, but dad said it's okay."

    When Shi Qian heard this, he felt that he was with the right person.

    Chao Gai then said with a somewhat proud smile: "Thanks to Xuexue's ingenious plan, we easily robbed the birthday card."

    Chao Yong naturally knew that they would not be relaxed soon, so he asked anxiously: "Dad is going too?"

    Chao Gai didn¡¯t think there was anything wrong yet, so he smiled and said, ¡°Well, dad, your three uncles, and the three men of the Ruan family you made friends with did this together.¡±

    When Chao Yong saw Chao Gai's admission, his face became even more panicked, and he shouted: "Something is going wrong. Dad is generous and generous. There is no village a hundred miles away where no idle man comes to visit the village. Dad can't remember them, but they all know them."  Daddy. I'm afraid someone has recognized daddy on the road, but daddy doesn't know. In a few days, the court will definitely find out about the village. "

    Chao Gai was shocked when he heard what Chao Yong said and hurriedly looked at Zhiduoxing Wu Yong.

    Wu Yong also thought that what he did was flawless, but after hearing what Chao Yong said, he felt a little uneasy.  The fan in his hand also stopped and he said: "I also know that there are many people who know Baozheng from far and near. I have tried my best to avoid Baozheng's public appearance all the way, but now that I think about it, I inevitably made some mistakes. If anyone really recognizes Baozheng, Baozheng will be in trouble for the sake of the government.  Rewarding someone with money to report is a mistake."

    Gongsun Sheng and Liu Tang could not sit still at this time.

    Chao Yong was also panicked when he saw several people, and said: "It's not necessarily true that someone will recognize my father. Sir, tell me how you robbed the birthday card. Let me see if there are any flaws?"

    At that time, Wu Yong invited Liu Tang to surrender, and he also invited the three heroes of the Ruan family. Later, Gongsun Sheng came to visit. They and Bai Sheng sang in Huangnigang and defeated Yang Zhi's group with wine and sesame. They took the birthday card. The details are  I told Chao Yong again.

    This section of the Water Margin is called Outsmarting the Birthday Plan. It was once a text for later generations. Chao Yong was naturally familiar with it and had thought about its mechanism many times.

    Chao Yong pretended to listen carefully, thought for a while, frowned and said: "There is another flaw in this matter, which is Bai Sheng's place. Now there are rumors everywhere that Yang Zhi and the others were cheated by the alcohol seller. Bai Sheng  The Anle Village where I live is close to Huangnigang, so the officials will definitely go to check on him. How could no one see him carrying wine out of the village? What you are robbing is Cai Jing's birth date. The state officials will definitely press hard, as long as there is some suspicion.  , the official will definitely arrest him. I'm afraid Bai Sheng is already in prison."

    When Liu Tang heard this, he shouted: "At the beginning, I said that I would kill those soldiers to silence them, but I just wanted to protect my integrity and not let him do it. But now many things have happened."

    Chao Gai also regretted and said: "Those soldiers were just following orders, and they didn't do anything evil. I saw that we had already obtained the birthday card, so there was no need to destroy their lives. I didn't expect to leave these flaws."

    Li Ling was confused. Wu Yong was also fascinated by the many gold and silver jewels at the time. He did not expect that there were so many, so he followed Chao Gai. Afterwards, he felt even more proud when he saw that no one came to arrest him.  At this time, listening to Chao Yong's analysis, he also knew that something was wrong.

    "In my opinion, dad sent someone to Anle Village overnight to quietly check whether Bai Sheng has been arrested. If he is caught, we can prepare early. If Bai Sheng is caught, I am afraid that the official will ambush him at his home. Dad sent  Two people go together, one enters the village and the other waits outside the village. If he doesn't come out after the time, he will probably be arrested, and the people outside the village will come back immediately to report the news. "

    Seeing how thoughtful Chao Yong¡¯s arrangements were, Wu Yong sighed: ¡°Brother Yong is the real wise man. He thinks carefully. Xiaosheng is ashamed.¡±

    Seeing that Wu Yong also agreed with Chao Yong's arrangement, Chao Gai immediately called two of his confidants and gave detailed instructions, asking them to ride horses overnight to Anle Village to investigate.

    Chao Yong also read Water Margin and realized these two flaws. He did not dare to underestimate Wu Yong's wisdom because of this. In front of the golden mountains and silver seas, few people can think carefully.  But for his plan,Deliberately avoiding the time of the birth plan was precisely to allow Chao Gai to go up the mountain to raise the banner of justice for heaven, and at the same time to avoid Song Jiang's opportunity to show mercy.
