Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Yang Zhi saw Kuang Li returning with his troops and asked, "Where is Hou Geng?"

Kuang Li said: "This guy said he wanted to explore in the distance. I followed the ruts and came out of Huangnigang. The official road went east, and I saw many ruts and horse hoof prints. It seems that I was indeed heading east."

Yang Zhi thought that he would be in trouble later, so he didn't want to say anything and just waved his hand.

Everyone looked at Yang Zhi's face and did not dare to say anything. They all went to sit under the shade of the trees outside the courtyard, muttering quietly.

Yang Zhidao: "Should I send someone to inform Zhou Jin? I might as well use him to hunt down the thief."

After hearing this, Kuang Li rolled his eyes and said, "He is forty or fifty miles ahead. I should chase him at some point. I might as well wait for Xie Duguan to come back and let the county send fast horses to chase him."

Yang Zhi listened and stopped talking. Several people were waiting under the shade of the trees outside the hotel.

Besides, Hou Geng walked quickly and caught up with Xie Duguan halfway.

Guan Xie was surprised when he saw it: "Why are you here?"

Hou Geng said: "It's all in charge, let me take a step to speak."

The two of them walked aside, and Hou Geng said in a low voice: "Don't worry, can I wait for the good fruit when you go back this time?"

Xie Duguan hesitated and said: "This... I'm afraid I will inevitably be punished."

"If it's just a punishment, that's it. At the least, I might lose my position and travel to a border state, or at the worst, my life. How big of a villain can I withstand these two hundred thousand gold and jewels?"

Seeing that Xie Duguan was panicking, Hou Geng said: "That guy Yang Zhi is a thief who joins the army. He has no foundation in Daming Mansion. He relies on favors for promotion. He wants to be greedy for merit and signed a piece of collar. Why not push him all the way? On your body?"

"this···"

"Everyone is in charge. There is an ancient saying: 'When the fire burns all over the body, everyone goes to sweep it away; when the bee flies into the arms, he immediately takes off his clothes.' Now, Yang Zhi is not the only one to bear the burden. We are all in a bad situation."

The two of them murmured, and Xie Duguan nodded and led the people to Nanluo County as usual. Hou Geng turned around and left with a happy face, deliberately delaying for a long time on the way, and then returned.

Regardless of how he went to complain, he only said that Hou Geng returned to the hotel and greeted Yang Zhi first, saying that he had no new discoveries. Seeing that Yang Zhi ignored him, Hou Geng went inside to find some water to drink. He also sat down under the shade of a tree.

Kuang Li glanced at Hou Geng, who pointed at Yang Zhi with his chin. Everyone was silent.

After a while, Hou Geng looked at Kuang Li, and the two of them walked aside and whispered.

Later, I found an opportunity to work separately on the sergeants sitting in the shade of the trees. The sergeants all had families and had lived in Daming Mansion for several generations. After hearing the threats from the two men, they naturally obeyed.

Yang Zhi didn't notice it at first, but he saw that one of the two Yuhous was getting up, and the other was getting up. Realizing something, he said: "I'm going to take a look in the distance. If everyone comes back, let me smoke as a signal and I'll come on my own."

Both of them were eager for Yang Zhi's absence and nodded in agreement.

Yang Zhi stood up, stepped on a waist knife, held a plain knife upside down, took Liangli'er with him, got up and left. When everyone saw that Yang Zhi had gone far, Hou Geng stood up and spoke to the commander again. Although a few of the sergeants made some rebuttals, seeing that most of them were standing behind Hou Geng, they naturally did not dare to say anything and all said: Listen to the instructions of the two Yuhous.

While everyone was talking, Yang Zhi turned back long ago without warning, stood behind the tree, and listened to most of what everyone said. Yang Zhi jumped out with a simple sword and shouted: "Zu Niao, how dare you slander the Sa family."

When Kuang Li and Hou Geng saw that they were defeated, they quickly grabbed a simple knife in their hands. Hou Geng shouted: "Don't blame Tiha, this journey has been smooth. Why are you pressing here so much and driving a long way while it's hot? The brothers were thirsty and hot, so they drank the Menghan medicinal wine. Although these people killed many soldiers, they did not touch Tiha at all. Tiha also said that they must have missed Xingzang. We are all ancestral residents of Daming Mansion. The Xiang Imperial Army must not dare to reveal the news. I don’t know any heroes in the world. Only Tiha knows the way, and we have a good reputation in the world. "

Kuang Li also said: "Why don't Tiha just surrender and go with us to see our husband and have a clear argument?"

After hearing this, Yang Zhi was furious and ran towards Kuang Li and Hou Geng with his sword drawn.

Kuang Li and Hou Geng also shouted loudly and went to meet him with their swords drawn. Kuang Li did not forget to shout: "If you don't want to die, why don't you come to help."

After hearing this, all the sergeants hesitated for a moment, then each found a carrying pole and surrounded Yang Zhi to fight.

Yang Zhi was angry and danced with the sword in his hand, stabbing several of them in a short while. Everyone tried their best to resist, but they were more defensive than offensive. At the crisis point, someone from a distance shouted: "Don't leave Yang Zhi."

After hearing this, Yang Zhi took a peek and saw that it was Xie Duguan riding on a horse, leading many businessmen, all holding steel forks, simple knives, guest houses, and hooks and sickles. Yang Zhi didn't know that he was like this. He became a scapegoat. At that moment, he became more and more resentful. He displayed his lifelong martial arts skills and swung two swords fiercely. One sword picked up Kuang Li's right arm, and the other sword slashed Hou Geng's chest and abdomen. He shouted: "Those who stand in my way will die, and those who avoid me will live."

Seeing Yang Zhi's bravery, all the sergeants did not dare to stop him, so they all retreated. Yang Zhi glanced at Xie Duguan and the others running from a distance, turned his knife upside down, and headed into the forest.

A group of people came forward, and Xie Duguan asked people to bandage Kuang Li and Hou Geng. Kuang Li was fine. Although his face was pale, the bleeding had stopped and there was no fear for his life. Looking at Hou Geng again, his intestines had come out, and there was less air coming in and more air coming out. I was afraid it might not work.

Xie Duguan said to Wang Dutou on the side: "Dutou, you have also seen that Yang Zhi saw us and fled for his life. He must have colluded with outsiders to do this. Please Dutou investigate. "Fan, it's best to find the desperado who stole the money. I'll naturally give you a nice word there."

The head of the royal capital nodded and ordered his servants to spread out. In addition to summoning the village chiefs, they also went to the official road to visit the places where Shi Wei and Lai Yong'er's group clashed.

It only took one day to find out that the people who opened the store did have Shandong accents, and the rice wine left in the hotel was also a famous wine in Qingzhou.

The shadows and figures were identified and determined to be the work of Song Jiang and his gang from Qingzhou.

After staying for three days, Hou Geng still couldn't survive and died. It's a pity that this guy had an idea, but he lost it.

Xie Duguan left Kuang Li and several imperial guards behind. One was to recover from his injuries, and the other was to wait with the Yamen to identify the thieves. He also ordered people to ride fast horses and chase Zhou Jin and his group south. He took the other sergeants and rode back to Daming Mansion to report to Liang Zhongshu. Taishi Shenfu learned that he had landed in Qingzhou Mansion to hunt down this group of strongmen.

But he said that Xie Du had taken charge of these imperial guards, stayed at night in Xiaoxing, and hurried back to BJ. Regardless of anything else, they all went to Liang Zhongshu's mansion, and even in front of the hall, they all bowed down and apologized on the ground.

Without waiting for Liang Shijie to ask, Xie Du said: "Sir, Yang Zhi is a bold and ungrateful thief. He colluded with a group of gangsters from Songjiang in Qingzhou and set up a trap in Huangnigang, Nanluo County in advance. We drank him by mistake. The wine was drunk by the man, but the Qingzhou thieves loaded all the birthday treasures and luggage into the car and took them away. Afterwards, Yang Zhi pretended to be injured and stayed there with us to go to Nanluo. The county reported it. Later, when the incident was revealed, Hou Geng Yuhou was killed and Yuhou Kuangli was stabbed. Now Kuangli stayed there with the Yamen and waited for the villain to catch the thief. Come back and tell me."

Liang Zhongshu was shocked when he heard this and cursed: "This thief joined the army. I promoted him to be the commander in charge of the army. How dare he do such an ungrateful thing? If I capture him, he will be broken into pieces." "

After saying that, he immediately called the scribe and wrote the document. At that time, he sent someone to Qingzhou to drop him at night. He wrote another letter home and went to Tokyo overnight to report to the Grand Master.

He only said that the messenger who went to Tokyo to deliver the letter met with the Grand Master and submitted the letter. Master Cai looked at it and said angrily: "These thieves are very bold. In the past two years, my son-in-law's plan, except for many people, was still robbed this year. Now that there is news about the robbers, we cannot let these people go." A bold thief.”

Immediately, he deposited a piece of official document with a government official and delivered it in person. He looked at Qingzhou on a starry night and visited the government official. He immediately wanted to pay back if he caught this group of thieves.

Let’s talk about the prefect Murong of Qingzhou. Since he received the letter from Liang Zhongshu, the left-behind secretary of Daming Prefecture, he has been working with the commander of the prefecture’s command department, Qin Ming, the commander of the army and horses [Thunderbolt Fire], the commander of the army and horses [Zhen Sanshan] Huang Xin, and the newly arrived general manager of Maxing Town. Yun Tianbiao discussed with each other.

After listening to Murong Yanda's words, Yun Tianbiao said: "Although the young general and Huang Dujian killed the two mountain village leaders, they never took advantage of them afterwards. Now I heard that there was a man named Song Jiang who integrated the bandits from all the mountains, and then After robbing so much money, I'm afraid it will recruit more troops and become more difficult to manage in the future."

Huang Xin also said: "There are many leaders on the mountain. Last time we attacked the mountain, we asked him to break Qingfeng Village. Liu Gao was killed, and Liu Gaohun's family also allowed them to take them to the mountain. If we divide our troops to defend the mountain, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break the stronghold. "

Qin Ming was impatient and couldn't help but get anxious after hearing this. He shouted: "This won't work, that won't work either. Shouldn't we just suppress it?"

In the midst of melancholy, I saw the doorman reporting: "The officials from the Grand Master's Mansion in Tokyo have arrived in front of the hall. They have an urgent official document and want to see my husband."

After hearing this, Murong Yanda said: "It's probably a matter of birthdays."

Zhaofu Qian met and said: "I already know about this matter, and I am discussing with the commander of the army and horses of my government to attack the Songjiang stronghold. I will compile a letter and you can take it back to the Grand Master."

With that said, he asked people to lead the man down to rest.

Murong Yanda turned around and went back and said: "Now the Grand Master has written a document asking us to catch the thief who robbed the birthday card. How dare we delay this matter? If things go wrong, I can still escape unscathed. At worst, I will find another place to serve as an official. You and others can't wait. He is the general in charge of the army in this state. If the culprit cannot be caught, the grand master will be punished and will be dismissed. "

Qin Mingdao: "Tomorrow I will recruit 3,000 people to attack Qingfeng Mountain. Huang Du will gather the soldiers and horses of Qingfeng Village to attack Taohua Mountain. Manager Yun will still go to attack Qingzhen Mountain. The troops and horses of the three places have agreed on a date and will attack together. Let them Don’t look at each other from head to tail.”

Yun Tianbiao said: "Although this plan is good, I'm afraid he will defeat them one by one. There are at least seven or eight thousand people on the mountain now, and there are more than ten brave leaders. I'm afraid my government can't wipe them out."
