Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Last time, I mentioned that there was a loud laugh in the grass, who was it?

The man was full of beards, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he had high cheekbones, a big mouth, copper bells and big eyes, and a burly figure. He was wearing a linen gown and carried a gossip-opening mountain ax on his shoulders, just like that. came out of the bushes.

Shaking off the weeds on his head while walking: "Oh - I'm still smart, I've followed all the way and never made a move. Otherwise, this sieve would be me."

When Shan Xiongxin heard him talking about the sieve, he showed embarrassment, and confessed in vain.

The bearded man smiled, walked towards Luo Cheng and said, "Hey, little brother, don't poke me. Although I want to rob you, I haven't done it yet. I am Cheng Yaojin, the brother of Second Brother Qin. No matter what, we can't do it either."

Du Wenzhong and the others covered their mouths and said happily: "It turns out that Shaobao told us that someone has been following us along the way, and it is you."

"You guys discovered it long ago? Tell me earlier, it's a shame that I was lying in ambush in the grass for a long time, and I was bitten several times by mosquitoes." Cheng Yaojin stared round, quite annoyed.

"I know this forest is suitable for ambushes, so I planned to rob a fat sheep as a congratulatory gift for my aunt. As a result, your group came. I followed you all the way, intending to do things in this forest, but later I heard You chatted on the road, feeling awkward, as if you came to celebrate Aunt Qin's birthday together, I can't rob this, it's all from my family. I just delayed it for a while, who would have thought that I would see that just came out .”

Cheng Yaojin patted himself on the head, and said happily, "Fortunately, I didn't do it rashly, or...hehe..." He grinned, and casually glanced at Shan Xiongxin and the others beside him.

Luo Cheng was already stunned when he heard his name, and then suddenly realized that he was Cheng Yaojin, and he was almost the same as he imagined.

Cheng Yaojin admired Luo Cheng's skill from the bottom of his heart. Now, with a shy face and his relationship with Second Brother Qin, Baba leaned forward and said, "Hey, brother, Brother Qin and I are good brothers , you are brother Qin's cousin, and I am older than you, shouldn't you also call me big brother?"

The generals of the Luo family laughed, this man is really shameless, he climbed up the pole, and he was not afraid of offending Shao Bao, so he rewarded him with a few holes.But this person looks very festive, and his words are funny.

Just when everyone thought that this bearded man should suffer, that he might get a good beating if he took advantage of others like this, and at the very least, he would be shut out——

The young man in white put his spear on the ground, clasped his fists with both hands, bent his legs and bent over, and said in a clear and clear voice, "Luo Cheng sees Brother Cheng."

"Hey? Hey!" Cheng Yaojin responded in surprise and joy.

He liked this white-faced kid when he saw his move, thinking that it would be great if it was his brother, and he said it with the mentality of giving it a try, ouch, I didn't expect him to say it, so he is not happy Well.

"Get up, get up quickly." Cheng Yaojin cheerfully put down the big ax on his shoulder to help the person, and stretched out his hand only to find that the back of his swarthy hand was in stark contrast to Luo Xiaodi's white clothes, and he was rather embarrassed. He hurriedly withdrew his hands to rub the hem of the skirt behind him, wiped it clean, and dared to help people with both hands.

Luo Cheng just recognized a brother, so he was naturally happy.The unhappiness caused by the oolong incident of the two brothers and sisters of the Shan family just now has been diluted a bit.

"Brother Cheng, where did this come from?" The people here may not know who robbed Yang Lin's 48 taels of imperial gang, but Luo Cheng knew it well, and now he wondered, didn't you just rob the imperial gang?Why do you want to rob.

Cheng Yaojin looked embarrassed, but quickly covered it up, with an ax in one hand and one hand on his hip, he said carelessly: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm planning to go to Brother Qin's place to celebrate my aunt's birthday."

"No, I just met a brother, I'm happy brother, I won't rob, and I will go to see Brother Qin with you."

Luo Cheng nodded, and gave Zhang Gongjin a wink, and the latter immediately pulled out a horse from the convoy and ordered someone to lead it to Cheng Yaojin.

Luo Cheng stretched out his hand and said, "Brother, please get on the horse."

Cheng Yaojin was not too polite, since he was his brother, he didn't need to worry about these things, as long as he was sincere to him, so he didn't shirk and got on the horse.

After Luo Cheng got on the horse, he went straight to the white dragon horse, the two of them talked and laughed one after the other and left, leaving Shan Xiongxin and the others standing there in embarrassment with embarrassment on their faces.

Wang Bodang, Xie Yingdeng and the others felt that they were wrong and felt embarrassed to stop them. The rest of the people knew they couldn't stop them, so they didn't stop them.

Shan Xiong was a little annoyed under his confidence. Compared with the brash guy who came out of nowhere, his treatment was indeed worse.Originally thought that the misunderstanding was cleared up, even if they couldn't shake hands and make peace, it wouldn't end so hastily, but that young boy really dared to shake his face in public.

In front of so many brothers, it was really difficult to step down.

After Cheng Yaojin, Luo Cheng and others left, Shan Xiongxin had his wounds bandaged, packed up and went to Qin's house, let's not show this for now, let's first talk about why Cheng Yaojin happened to appear here, and met Luo Cheng by chance .

This has to start with Cheng Yaojin angrily robbing Huang Gang.

Don't think that Cheng Yaojin has no brains, he really risked his life to rob Huang Gang as soon as he was instigated by You Junda of Wunanzhuang, Huang Gang was robbed, but the reason was not what You Junda could think of .

Cheng Zechen, the father of Cheng Yaojin, was the commander-in-chief of Chen Changchunguan in the south. He was beaten to death by Yang Lin when he resisted the Sui Dynasty.

No, when he heard that the imperial outline belonged to Yang Lin, he pretended to be hesitant, and agreed with You Junda to rob the imperial outline. He originally wanted to kill Yang Lin to avenge his father, but he never thought that Yang Lin Lin was not included in the escort of the Emperor Gang.

Also because of Huang Gang's robbery, Yang Lin urged Tang Bi of Shandong Mansion to arrest the thieves who robbed Huang Gang as soon as possible.Qin Qiong was on duty in Tangbi's mansion, so he received the bill as a matter of course, and solved the robbery case within a limited time.

Qin Qiong has been a police officer for so many years, it's not just a joke.Within a few days, some clues were discovered, and they suspected that Youtong Youjunda was in Wunan Zhuang. When he went to test it out, he met Cheng Yaojin face to face. Why is it so familiar.

After careful questioning, I realized that it turned out to be an old acquaintance.

It turned out that Cheng Zechen, Cheng Yaojin's father, and Qin Qiong's father, Qin Yi, were both generals of Nanchen. Thinking that Cheng and Qin were family friends at the beginning, the two brothers often played together when they were young, so it can be said that they were childhood friends.

The two were very excited, and after reminiscing about the old days, Qin Qiong asked about the robbing of the emperor, Cheng Yaojin avoided You Junda, and revealed the real reason why he robbed Yang Lin.

When Qin Qiong heard this, he was also heartbroken. You must know that Yang Lin was also the murderer who killed his father!How could he help Yang Lin catch some thieves instead of helping his brother?

Thinking about it this way, Qin Qiong had an idea in his heart. Now that Yang Lin had suspected these people, it would only be a matter of time before he found out without his help. So he decided to dye his face in Dengzhou and confuse Yang Lin's vision. It would be better if he could avenge his father.

Seeing that his elder brother went deep into the tiger's den for himself, Cheng Yaojin was moved with tears in his eyes.

Who would have thought that Big Brother Qin is indeed a capable person. When he first climbed to You, he met an old man. Later, according to Big Brother Qin, the old man was named Shangguan Di, who was rescued by Big Brother Qin. He stole the emperor's outline, and immediately cried to the backer Yang Lin, brother Qin, who donated righteousness to donate money, is extremely loyal and filial, there is no way he is that thieves.

Yang Lin had also heard about Qin Shubao, the "Xiaomengchang" in Shandong, and asked why he pretended to be a thieves.

Brother Qin felt sad, and lamented: "If there is some way, who would pretend to be guilty of murder."

Brother Qin began to investigate and arrest the thieves from the time when Shandong Mansion received Yang Lin's bill.But there was no clue, and the one-month period was coming, he thought, if no one recognized him, not only his head would be lost, but even his mother and more than 100 officials from the Shandong government would all be punished, so he There is a saying that Ranmian Deng Youzhou surrendered himself.

Yang Lin laughed out loud after hearing this, and praised Brother Qin for his loyalty, filial piety, and extraordinary intelligence, he deserved the title of "Xiao Mengchang".

Seeing that brother Qin was practicing martial arts with two maces in his hand, his martial arts skills were so strong that he was far more capable than his twelve imperial guards, so he decided to take it for his own use.

No, Big Brother Qin actually joined Yang Lin's side directly and became his thirteen Taibao.

When Qin Qiong survived the danger and returned home, Cheng Yaojin immediately went to You Junda to talk, and presented all the imperial outlines to Aunt Qin as a gift.

In this way, how could You Junda agree!Although You Junda was very moved by the fact that Brother Qin went to Dengzhou alone to close the case for them, and he also admired Brother Qin's personality, but Cheng Yaojin and him were not the only ones who did the robbery. There are also the credits of the brothers, if they all do favors to them, it will be difficult for him to explain to the brothers, so he refuses to say anything.

Seeing his ink stains, Cheng Yaojin felt unhappy, took the ax and left Wunanzhuang, formally parted ways with Na Youjunda, thinking about adding some congratulatory gifts to Aunt Qin by himself.

No, I wandered outside for a few days. Two days ago, I heard rumors that Yang Lin Huanggang was robbed. These days, he gathered a second batch of Huanggang. He lay in ambush near the top of the mountain, waiting for the second batch to be robbed.

Unexpectedly, Yang Lin's second batch of Huang Gang did not wait, but he had a good brother for no reason, so he was very happy.

Luo Cheng was straightforward, Cheng Yaojin was straightforward, and the two of them talked together in a short while, Cheng Yaojin was arrested for smuggling salt like him and put in prison, and he refused to leave the prison for food, and was begged by the cell boss to leave, etc. When the absurd thing was said, everyone in the Luo family was amused. This person is simply a happy fruit.

Although Luo Cheng has heard Zhang Dahuzi talk about Pingshu for a long time, but when he meets a real person, it is naturally more interesting to tell his own experience, and Brother Cheng obviously added a lot of bragging elements in it, which is comparable to That storyteller was much nicer. During this journey, Luo Cheng's mouth almost never closed, and he was really amused by him.

When he entered Jinan City, Qin Qiong had already asked Wang Junke, the leader of the North Road, one of his good brothers and green forest heroes, to wait at the gate of the city. Five or six-year-old boy, rich and handsome, with a rare good appearance, immediately went up to greet him, and when asked, it was indeed Luo Cheng and Luo Shaobao, so he welcomed him to Jia's Tower outside the west gate.

As soon as Wang Junke entered the door, he rushed inside and shouted: "Brother Qin, your cousin Luo Cheng Luo Shaobao, I'll pick him up for you."

Luo Cheng smiled and entered the room with Cheng Yaojin.

Before he saw his cousin, three or five people rushed out from inside, and blocked the two of them in front of the gate of Jia's building in a rude manner.

Although the three or five people were not good looking, the leader was well dressed, handsome, and had a certain bearing, about 20 years old.

Ever since Luo Cheng entered the door, that person has been staring at the person in front of him blankly, his eyes full of turmoil.

Luo Cheng put a smile on his face, could it be another fight?

Who would have thought that the next moment, the man would have tears in his eyes, and with a plop, he would kneel down in front of Luo Cheng: "I see you now, my benefactor, please accept my worship."

Luo Cheng blinked, why did he meet some inexplicable people today.

First, in the grove, Shan Xiongxin, who had never been masked, was instigated to start a fight with him, and then a white-faced man appeared, and he knelt down in front of him, and kept claiming that he was a benefactor.

Luo Cheng looked him up and down, but he really couldn't figure out who this person was. He dared to guarantee that he had never seen this person before.

Fortunately, the next sentence, the man explained his identity.

It was Chai Shao, son-in-law of Tang Guogong Li Yuan in Taiyuan.

Luo Cheng reached out to help, Chai Shao stood up, and said with guilt on his face: "Father-in-law has always wanted to come to the door in person to thank Xiao Engong for his help that day, but the fief affairs are busy, and it coincides with the new emperor ascending the throne, so he is very suspicious. It brought trouble to Engong's family, so he didn't come to the door for a long time. Hearing Engong's name in the house today, Chai Shao was very excited, and he didn't expect to see Engong himself here."

Luo Cheng rubbed his nose in embarrassment, his fair cheeks were glowing red, he was blushed, he was called out one by one, and he was praised high, he really didn't feel used to it, he kept pushing It's just a little effort, don't take it to heart.

Pian Cheng Yaojin thought he was not embarrassed enough, so he joked and joked: "Yo yo, my brother Luo is too thin-skinned, and he is not afraid of fighting. Now being praised by others, his whole face is almost red, hurry up!" Catch up with the little girl."

Luo Cheng lost his temper by what he said, so he could only call out helplessly: "Brother Cheng, don't make fun of me."

Looking at Shaobao's appearance, Zhang Gongjin and the others felt that they were normal now, meeting Shaobao's age.

Qin Qiong came out from the upper house, saw Chai Shao, Wang Junke, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Cheng all present, was overjoyed, and said to Chai Shao and his cousin: "I forgot that you two have some relationship. "

Chai Shao also nodded happily, he didn't expect to have such a harvest this time, to see his little benefactor.

Qin Qiong led Luo Cheng to the upper room to meet his mother, and Shan Xiongxin and others also came in great numbers from the other side.

Qin Wangshi was wiping away tears in the house, holding Luo Cheng's hand feeling very sad, talking about his eldest sister Qin Ruizhu, and talking about the Qin Luo family back then.

Luo Cheng was by the side, occasionally answering a sentence or two, and Qin Qiong was by his side. For a moment, the family affection in the room was very warm.

Suddenly, someone outside the house shouted: "Second Brother Shan is here——"

Then there was the movement of many people filing out, but after a while, someone exclaimed: "Why is the second brother Shan injured? With the martial arts and status of the second brother Shan, who dares to make trouble with the second brother Shan?" ? That person has taken the courage of the ambitious leopard, and if he offends the second brother Shan, he is going to make things difficult for us in the entire green forest."

When Qin Qiong heard this, she became anxious and thought to herself, could something have happened to Second Brother Shan?Then he and his mother complained, and went out first to find out what happened.

Although Luo Cheng also heard the commotion outside, but at the moment one hand was being held by his aunt, unable to move, he could only sit quietly and reminisce with his aunt.

When Luo Cheng comforted his aunt, straightened his robes, and walked out of the upper room calmly, when he came to the lobby, everyone's eyes were very unified, looking at him in unison——
