Water Margin set the country

Chapter 39 The money can make a ghost run the mill

Zhang Qingdao: "We waited in ambush outside the courtyard to respond, and later we heard the noise of people in the courtyard and the sound of fighting. We guessed that you must have been discovered. So we took our brothers to attack the gate of Murong Mansion, for You attract and contain some enemies."

Chao Qing asked with concern: "Are there any casualties?"

Sun Erniang said: "Young leader, don't worry, my brothers are not so vulnerable. Some of them were injured, but none of them were killed. Before we left, we put a gun on Murong Yanda's gate. Put the fire on, it is estimated that they are still busy putting out the fire at this moment!"

Chao Qing also talked about the process of their operation this time, regretting that they could not get rid of Murong Yanda, the only gratifying thing is that they rescued Su Liang brothers and sisters.

Yang Lin also said: "Although Murong Yanda was never beheaded, that fellow must have been scared out of his wits, hahahaha!"

Sun Erniang also laughed and said: "When Qin Ming ruled and Qingfeng Mountain rebelled, Murong Yanda was frightened once. At that time, they said that he was so scared that he peed his pants. I don't know if he peed his pants this time!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

At this time, Su Liang and Su Jinniang also bandaged their wounds, changed into clean clothes, and thanked Chao Qing and Wu Song.

Su Jinniang said: "Although you didn't come here specifically to save us, my Su family always repays every kindness, so I still want to thank you!"

Sun Erniang asked: "Sister of the Su family, didn't you go to Yuanbi Village to save people? Why were you caught in the Murong Mansion? Has your brother's sweetheart been rescued?"

Su Jinniang said: "The man was rescued, but we were trapped and caught."

Su Liang sighed, and said: "Our skills are inferior! At that time, we caught up with Zhu Yongqing and rescued the villagers from his hands. Zhu Yongqing's arm was injured. He was not our opponent. I was beaten up. As a result, this fellow fled back to the cottage, and immediately brought a large group of people to take revenge. Not only were they many, but their martial arts were also good. One of the women and the other with a meteor hammer hidden weapon were difficult to deal with. generation."

Chao Qing reckoned that Luan Tingfang was the one who made the meteor hammer, and that woman should be Chen Liqing.

Su Jinniang said: "Especially that woman, from what she said, she is probably Zhu Yongqing's wife. She deeply hates us for hurting his husband-in-law. She is aggressive and vicious, and she keeps swearing. She is like a shrew." Su Jinniang was very puzzled by the ugly and ugly words, how could a woman say such words, she was too shameless.

Yang Lindao: "The people in his ape arm village are all ignorant of benevolence, righteousness and morality in the world, and have no sense of shame. It's really that the latrines are designed to attract flies, and the smell is similar."

Everyone felt that the metaphor of Yang Lin was very vivid, and couldn't help smiling.

Su Liang continued: "They have a large number of people. I was afraid that we would not be able to defeat us, so I asked the younger sisters and farmers to protect the women in the village and go first. I will stop later. But at that time, even if you go first, you will be killed on the way." Yuanbi Village caught up. At that time, I was not far from Erlong Mountain. I thought that Erlong Mountain had a hero like Wu Erlang, so there must be heroes on the mountain, so I asked the farmer to escort the villagers to Erlong Mountain to avoid danger and ask for help. As you know, My little sister has never listened to me, so she stayed with me to end the queen."

As he said that, he glanced at Su Jinniang, who seemed to be angry but also affectionate.

"Later, although my brother and sister killed many people in Yuanbi Village, they were outnumbered and both were captured. I thought I would be sent to Yuanbi Village for execution, but for some reason they sent me to the prefect of Murong on the house."

"Of course it's because Murong Yanda is the boss behind Yuanbi Village!"

Chao Qing explained the whole story to Su Liang and the others in detail.The two of them seemed unable to accept such an overly dark fact at once.

Su Liang felt a little pain in his head, and said: "Since the prefect of Murong took office, he has done a few practical things. The people in Qingzhou say that there is finally a master Qingtian. I didn't expect this person to be like this behind his back. appearance."

Wu Songdao, "This is a hypocrite who seeks fame!"

Chao Qing said: "He punishes the powerful. To put it bluntly, he just eats the black. He wants to be the only powerful in Qingzhou. He doesn't want others to share the fat with him. It's because he cares about the common people!"

"There is more than one Qingzhou in this world. I'm afraid the same is true for other states and counties." Yang Lin sighed.

Everyone was silent for a while, and they didn't know where the way forward in this world was.

Chao Qingdao: "The world is difficult, and it is the time when our generation of heroes rises up. Let's twist into one rope and kill all the corrupt officials in the world!"

"What the young leader said is true!" Everyone said.

"Now that we have made such a big move, how can Murong Yanda give up? I'm afraid the search is going on in the city!" Yang Lin said worriedly.

Sun Erniang said: "There is no need to worry. You can just rest at ease in this restaurant. The brothers and sisters of the Su family will also live here for the time being. After tomorrow dawn, I will go to the city to inquire about the news."

So everyone went to rest.

The next day, Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing walked around the city and came back after inquiring about the information.

Sun Erniang said to the crowd: "It is impossible to leave the city now. There are soldiers guarding the gates of every city. If there is no need to leave the city, even those who really need to leave the city will be questioned carefully. Dozens of innocent passers-by have been arrested. .In the city, there are ten posts, one post and five steps and one sentry. Soldiers are patrolling every street. There are also several teams searching from house to house. In addition, the government has issued a notice saying that if the murderer can be caught, There is a reward of [-], and those who provide information will also be rewarded. If they hide and cover up, they will all be regarded as accomplices."

When everyone heard the house-to-house search, they all showed concern.

Sun Erniang said with a smile: "My restaurant has a lot of agencies, even if I let him search, he can't find anything, just don't worry!"

Chao Qing asked: "What about Murong Yanda's family?"

"Murong Yanda was scared out of his wits early on. At this moment, the mansion has arranged for at least five hundred troops. In addition to the guards already in his mansion, there may be no less than a thousand people."

Zhang Qing said: "All of you will stay in this restaurant for a while, and then go out of the city when the wind has passed and the guards are not strict!"

Chao Qing said: "Although this method is safe, it is too time-consuming. Leader Lu heard about the changes in Qingzhou City in the cottage, but he didn't see us turn around. I'm afraid he has a lot of loyalty and will raise troops to attack the city. Wouldn't it cause trouble for both of us?" Longshan is involved in the war. Besides, the brothers and sisters of the Su family and the villagers are on the mountain, if they don't go back, the other party will also be worried."

Zhang Qing said: "But in the current situation in the city, if we want to get out of the city, I'm afraid it's not easy!"

"It's not easy, you have to try." Chao Qing said confidently.

Wu Song asked, "Did the young leader come up with a good solution?"

Chao Qing said: "There is a way, and it's very simple, just don't know if it will work, you can give it a try!"

Everyone's eyes lit up and they asked, "What is the solution?"

"As the saying goes, money can make ghosts turn the clock. As far as I know, the Xiang army in Qingzhou City, that is, the headquarters led by Qin Ming and Huang Xin, has a slightly better discipline, and the others are completely different. So they seem to guard well. Yan, in fact, it's all just superficial skills, as long as we seize their weaknesses and use them to our advantage, why not get out of the city!"

As the saying goes, one word awakens the dreamer, and everyone felt that what Chao Qing said made sense.

Chao Qing looked at Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang and said, "It's just that it will cost a lot of silver taels."

Sun Erniang said boldly: "It's a trivial matter, and the money is on me."

However, Yang Lin expressed his concern and said: "But the government has already offered a reward, even if we bribed the city gate guards, why should the guards risk helping us? If you take it, you can sell it to Murong Yanda."

Chao Qing said: "Brother Yang Lin's worries are not unreasonable. But don't worry, I have my own way."

So Chao Qing called Sun Erniang to come forward, and told her so-and-so in her ear, and let Sun Erniang go to perform the task.

……

At noon, Sun Erniang took two companions and pulled a cart loaded with four or five large barrels of swill, and arrived at Sitong Gate in the south of the city, ready to go out.As usual, the soldiers guarding the city had to question them carefully.

Sun Erniang said that her swill was going to be sent out of the city to sell to the butcher Hu who raised pigs. His pigs were fattened up by this kind of swill, so she gave a coin of silver to the guard.The guard got the money, checked again and found nothing wrong, so he let Sun Erniang out of the city.

In the evening, Sun Erniang brought another cart of fruits and vegetables back.As usual, he gave a piece of silver to the guards, laughed and chatted with them, and then entered the city.

For the next two days, Sun Erniang would leave the city at noon and return to the city in the evening. She came and went twice, and she had already become acquainted with the guards at the Sitong Gate.

At noon on the third day, Erniang Sun took the swill out of the city again and came to Sitongmen.

The guards also warmly greeted Sun Erniang.

Sun Erniang asked if they had captured the assassin.

When the guard heard it, he scolded his mother, and said: "I don't know where this straight mother is hiding, but I can't get it, so the master is on duty here every day."

Sun Erniang said: "Master Jun, those assassins are hidden in my slop truck, come quickly and take them away!"

The guard laughed and said, "How could such a remarkable person hide in the slop truck? Don't be kidding me, the proprietress." Even though he said so, he took a look and found nothing unusual, so he let Erniang Sun go. Go out of town.

Sun Erniang went out of the city and went straight to the deserted wilderness to unload the swill bucket.It turned out that the swill bucket was specially made, and it was divided into two layers. The shallow layer above was poured with some swill, and the empty layer below was hiding Chao Qing, Wu Song, and Su's siblings.

The four climbed out of the swill bucket.

Su Jinniang said: "I was really shocked when I heard you said that the guards would come and take us!"

Sun Erniang said: "I'm not the kind of person who sells friends and seeks glory."

Chao Qing also said with a smile: "The art of war pays attention to the fact that it is false, and the false is true. Saying it this way will on the contrary dispel their doubts."
