Yu Shimingyan

Chapter 45
While talking, I heard the sound of oars being rowed in front of the bow, and another small boat came.There were five heroes on board, and the two ships generally coughed and responded.Poliu knew he was an accomplice, let alone asked him.Seeing the two boats approaching, Gu Sanlang quietly asked: "Where does that talk stop?" The man on the boat replied: "It's only one mile ahead, we've already set our sights on it." Rest among the reeds and knock on stones to make fire.All the heroes came to meet Poliu, and there was wine and meat in the boat, and everyone had a big bowl of wine and a big piece of meat for a meal.After distributing the equipment, two boats and thirteen heroes went forward together.Seeing that the lights on the big boat were still on, all the people rushed to the boat, shouted, and jumped onto the bow.Poliu hits the head with an iron stick in his hand, just in time to meet Zhang Long, who was thrown into the water by Poliu's stick.Zhao Hu looked back and ran away.All the people on the boat were frightened out of their wits, who dare to stand up to the enemy again?One by one, they knelt down in the cabin and repeatedly said for mercy.Poliu said: "All brothers listen to my payment: you can only pack up the gold and silk, and don't kill him." According to their words, all the people moved the luggage in the boat at will.With a whistle, the crowd still divided into two teams, got out of the boat, and flew away.It turns out that Wang Jieshi is another boat, and his family's primary school arrives one day first.The next day, when Wang Jie's envoy arrived, he knew that his boat had been stolen.Open the lost order in detail and file a complaint with the Hangzhou government.Dong Chang, the governor of Hangzhou, approved it, and wrote in various counties: interview and take real stolen goods and real thieves.When the documents came to Lin'an County, the magistrate sent the county captain to cooperate with the arrest of the envoys, and it was no problem to capture the envoys within a limited time and day.Besides, Gu Sanlang and his gang re-moored the boat among the reeds, and shared the gains with [-] points among them.Because the mother-in-law spared no effort, it was agreed to give him an extra share.Poliu got a total of three ingots of ingots, more than a hundred pieces of silver, and more than ten pieces of gold and silver wine vessels and jewelry.At this time, the sky was getting brighter and the city gate was opened.Poliu was pregnant with a lot of things, jumped onto the bow of the boat, and said to Gu Sanlang, "Thank you for your work, and I will work for you next time." After that, she went into the city and went to Qi Han's hometown.Old Han turned over from the bed, was called out by Po Liu, wiped his eyes with both hands, and asked, "Why did Da Lang come so early?" Po Liu said, "Why haven't the brothers from the Zhong family come yet? I'll find him to review the book." One." Then he delivered the ingots, broken silver, wine vessels, and jewelry to Qi Hanlao.Said: "I'm afraid I'm tired and you should pick it up again. I'll leave all these things with you and spend them slowly. You can get rid of the twelve taels I borrowed from you yesterday. Come at two minutes today, and you will give me a few taels of silver for me." Be a host, even if I invite him to a table." When Qi Han saw a lot of property, he was happy in his heart, and he replied repeatedly: "This is a small matter, but it will be paid by the big man." Poliu said: "Get up early today, since the two In the future, I want to find a quiet place and take a nap." Qi Han led him to a small pavilion, on a white wooden bed, and shouted: "The big man is free to be happy, and the villain can go to wash up."

But they said that Zhong Ming and Zhong Liang had breakfast in the yamen, took a few ingots of silver, and then came to Qi Han's hometown.The old man was shopping at the door. After seeing him for two minutes, he said, "Qian Dalang is the host today. I have been waiting here for a long time, and I took a nap in the small pavilion. Please go in first, and the villain will come soon." Accompany you." Zhong Ming and Zhong Liang praised privately: "It's rare for such a faithful person." They walked into the hall.Only the sound of beating was heard, like a thunderbolt.Two minutes surprised!When I found a small pavilion, I suddenly saw a big lizard, more than ten feet long, sitting on the bed, with two horns growing on its head, covered by clouds of five colors.Zhong Ming and Zhong Liang yelled together: "Masquerade!" The cloud and mist were dispersed by the sound of "Masquerade", and the lizard disappeared.When he looked closely, it was Qian Dalang who fell asleep straight.The two brothers thought to themselves: "It is often said that strange people have disguised appearances. They are obviously lizards, but why are they Qian Dalang? This person must have some strange things later on. Let's make friends with him before we meet him. Why not beautiful?" After two discussions, they decided.Waiting for Poliu to wake up, the two of them didn't talk about the reason, but said: "My brother admires Xinyi and is willing to marry the righteousness of Taoyuan. I don't know if Dalang agrees?" In the small pavilion, eight prayers are made.Because her mother was the youngest, she became the third younger brother.There is no gambling on this day, and everyone has a drink and goodbye.When parting, Zhong Ming returned the twelve taels of silver that he won yesterday from gambling to his mother-in-law.The mother-in-law was willing to accept it, and said: "Qi Han's old place, the younger brother paid it by himself. The elder brother has the right to keep the money. And when the younger brother's hand is exhausted, it is not too late to borrow it." Zhong Ming had to take it.

From that day on, the three of them often get together.Because he beat people by eating wine, he became famous in the drinking fair, named "Three Tigers of Qiantang".This sentence, blowing in Zhong Qi's ears, made him very unhappy.The two sons were imprisoned in the Yamen, and they were not allowed to go out to wander.Poliu didn't see Erzhong for several days, so she inquired in front of the recording office. When she heard the news, she was so scared that she didn't dare to meet Erzhong for several days.It's exactly: You must be honest when you want to make friends, and Hugh will watch it jokingly.The family is strict and the son learns well, the son is filial to the father and the heart is broad.

Besides, Qian Poliu was estranged from Er Zhong, so she became close to Gu Sanlang and his gang, and they often sold salt together as robbers.I don't know how many times I have done such illegal things.It turned out that the smugglers were timid for the first time, bold for the second time, and full of courage for the third and fourth time.He does not commit capital, the use of large ingots of silver and large banknotes.Fortunately, it didn't happen, and it ended up being happy and useful.And when the incident happened again, he could do his best.Since ancient times: If you don't know, you have to do nothing.Just because Chen Xiaoyi, one of Gu Sanlang's men, poured out a pair of red gold lotus cups at the silversmith's house for silver, and was recognized by the silversmith as belonging to Li Jiuyuan's foreign treasury, so he told the public.The official reported to the county magistrate and visited the names of this group, but they have not been taken yet.

Suddenly one day, the county captain asked Zhong Lushi and his son to drink in the yamen.Because of Zhong Ming's good handwriting, the county captain invited him to the study and begged him to write a single note.Zhong Ming wrote Li Taibai's "Youth Journey", which was praised by the county captain.Zhong Ming glanced at it by chance, and saw some paper feet exposed under the large stone inkstone.When I opened it to look, there were many people's names written on it.Zhong Ming had a heart, caught a cold eye, took it and hid it in his sleeve.Peeking behind the scenes, it is the Shan'er of the salt thief I visited.There was Qian Po's name in it, Zhong Ming was surprised!After the banquet, after a few glasses of wine, I went back first because of my abdominal pain.The county lieutenant only said that he was really sick and let him go, but who knew it was Zhong Ming's trick.

At that moment, Zhong Ming didn't go back, but rushed to Qi Han's hometown and taught him to talk to his mother-in-law.It just so happened that the mother-in-law stayed in his field to forge cards and gamble.Seeing Zhong Ming, he didn't have time to make a bow, so he took one arm out of the door.Go to a secluded place and say so, "Fortunately, I saw that the stolen visit sheet is here. Brother, hide quickly, I am afraid I will come to arrest you soon, and I have to save you. On the other hand, I will arrange someone to go up and down at the county lieutenant's office for you." Make money, if you don’t have an attack within three months, you can come forward. Brothers must cherish it.” Poliu said: “Many people on the list are my confidantes and close friends. If my brother is in trouble, I need to explain it to him with an example. Wide. If one person is allowed to be an official, everyone will be unclean." Zhong Ming said: "I have a reason." After finishing speaking, Zhong Ming left.This news made the mother-in-law so anxious that she couldn't stop, she ran to the south gate to find Gu Sanlang, and said she knew about it.He also taught his group to move away quickly, so that Hugh could catch the wind and catch fire.Gu Sanlang said: "We only got off the salt boat, and the towns and cities spread out in all directions, no one noticed, only you guarding your parents, there is nowhere to go, what should I do?"

Poliu said: "I don't mind doing anything, cherish, cherish." Say it, don't go.From then on, the mother-in-law stayed at home pretending to be sick, and lived there for three months.In the morning and evening, I only practice guns and sticks, and dare not go out.Even my parents said it was a strange thing, but they didn't know the reason.There are poems to prove it: Zhong Ming wanted to save his mother-in-law who was in trouble, but saw that her mother-in-law left and reported it to others.Sharing joy and worry together is true loyalty, and a hero must live up to his friendship.

But the county lieutenant was about to take pictures the next day, and the interview list under the inkstone was gone, and there was a sudden chaos.Hang and beat the young man in the study, and refuse to recruit again.After three days of chaos, there was no impact, and the county lieutenant did not make sense.At this time, Zhong Ming and Zhong Liang fought for their private wealth and used it up and down. The arrests and envoys were all bribed, and 200 taels of silver were transferred to the county magistrate by the central envoy to teach him about this official business.Fortunately, the county lieutenant is greedy, and he heard the envoy say that the record office will take care of him.He only doubted: "The recorder's hand came first over there, so I can relax and do personal favors." After accepting the money, he pretended to set a limit and arrest the envoys.After January and two months, everything slowed down.It's just that officials are tight for three days, and it's money that makes ghosts grind.No problem.

The words are divided into two ends.Then there is a warlock in Hongzhou, Jiangxi.This person is good at astronomy and proficient in physiognomy.When the white rainbow shines through the sun, you can know Yishui's treacherous schemes; when the precious energy rises into the sky, you can predict the gods and objects in Fengcheng.Decide on Banchao's honor as a marquis, and engrave the time when Deng Tong died of starvation.There are quasi-demigods in Yanxiang, and high-ranking warlocks with no difference in Zhanhou.The sorcerer was called Liao Sheng, and he predicted that the Tang Dynasty would be chaotic, so he hid himself in Songmen Mountain.Sitting all day and night suddenly, I saw the market of Dou and Niu, and there was faintly five colors of dragon writing, which I knew was the spirit of kingship.It was supposed to be the division of Qiantang, so I specially packed my bags and came to visit Qiantang.Occupying the cloud again, but on the ground of Lin'an.He pretended to be a fortune teller and hid in Lin'an City.Every day, there are many people who seek a phase in the city, and they are all idlers, and there is no exception.Suddenly it occurred to me: "The recording clock starts, he is my old friend, why don't you go to see him?"Zhong Qi knew that it was his old friend Liao Sheng who came here, so he greeted him upside down.After meeting each other, we will talk about the cold and warm.Zhong Qi knocked on his intention, Liao Shengping went to follow the people, and said privately to Zhong Qi's ear: "I don't like to look at Qi at night, I know that there are strange people in Guixian County. You can't find them in the city for a few days. Look at your respect, although You are not worthy of this." Zhong Qi called the two sons, Ming and Liang, and begged him to take a look.Liao Shengdao: "Bone skills are all expensive, but they are no more than the position of a minister. The so-called aliens should be fighting and the king of the bulls, but the emperor is enough to be him, and the bottom is also the five tyrants and princes, so they should be their omens." Zhong Qi left Liao Sheng to spend the night in the Yamen.

The next day, Zhong Qi only said that there was a difficult matter in the county, and he wanted to discuss it together.After preparing a banquet in Wushan Temple, I heard that famous heroes in the county were called to the meeting, and Liao Sheng secretly watched them one by one.Among them, the noble and the humble are different, and none of them are enough to be a sign of great nobility.On the same day, when the banquet was over, Zhong Qi invited Liao Sheng to the yamen again.If you want to wait for the future, you will search for rural heroes and teach him to look full.At this time, it was getting late, and the two returned together.

But she said that Grandma Qian stayed at home and had nothing to do for three months, and she liked it infinitely.Thinking of Er Zhong's life-saving grace, he boldly came to the county.Hearing that Zhongqi was having a banquet at Wushan Temple, he quietly went to his yamen to ask Brother Erzhong to pay his respects.Zhong Ming and Zhong Liang knew that their mother-in-law was staying to visit each other, and taking advantage of their father's absence, they hurried out to meet and chat with each other.Suddenly I heard the sound of the horse bell, and the bell came back.When Poliu saw Zhong Qi, her heart beat wildly in shock, she lowered her head and just ran away while looking out.Zhong Qi asked: "Who is it?"Liao Sheng hurriedly said to Zhong Qi: "It's strange, it's strange! The strange person you said should be on this person, and you should not be slow." Zhong Qisu believed in Liao Sheng's skills, so he changed his words and taught others: "Please come and meet me .” Poliu had no choice but to turn around.Zhong Qi asked his name, Poliu looked like a clay sculpture and wood carving, how dare you say it!Zhong Qi was anxious, so he called his two sons to ask: "What is this man's name? Where does he live? Why did you know him?" Zhong Ming couldn't hide it, so he had to say: "This man's surname is Qian, and his nickname is Liu. He is from Lin'an." Zhong Qi laughed loudly, pulled Liao Sheng behind his back and said, "Sir, you are wrong! This is a scoundrel in the village, and now he is lucky to escape the law, is Anwang rich?" Liao Sheng said: "I have decided not to miss. The dignity of a father and son is all because of this person." He said to Poliu: "Your bones are very good, you must be a noble, and you will shine before you! May you love yourself." Then he said to Zhong Qi: "That's why I visit strangers. Those who are not coveting to bring wealth and honor in the future are just trying to test my magical ears. Ten years from now, my words will be verified, and I will know it with one step. I only see each other today, and I don’t know what will happen later.” After saying that, he drifted away. .Zhong Qi realized that Poliu was a stranger, and Zhong Ming and Zhong Liang told their father about the horned lizard they saw in Qi Han's hometown, and they were even more astonished.That night, Zhong Qi taught his son to keep the money.Advise him: "Study hard on guns and sticks, and don't make mistakes outside your business, which will damage your reputation. If the family lacks money, I will help you." Since then, Zhong Ming and Zhong Liang still keep in touch with Poliu, and they are even closer than before.There are poems to prove it: It's a shame that heroes are mixed with prostitution, who knows people from poverty?Just for the sake of Liao Sheng's eyesight, he ordered to record the guest of honor.

It is said that in the second year of Qianfu Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao raised his troops and attacked eastern Zhejiang.Dong Chang, the governor of Hangzhou, published a list of recruiting soldiers.Knowing this letter, Zhong Qi said to his son: "Now that the Huang Kou is rampant, the soldiers are approaching, and the governor recruits the village to kill the thieves bravely. This is the autumn of the hero's meritorious service. Why don't you persuade Po Qian to stay?" Zhong Ming and Zhong Liang said He said: "All generations are willing to make contributions with him." Zhong Qi rejoiced.Please go to Poliu now and tell him about it.Poliu gritted her fists and clapped her palms, eagerly wishing to do it.Zhong Qi supported all the clothes, armour, and weapons. He also left 20 taels of silver to help his wife to settle down.The name was changed to Qian Liu, and the characters are beautiful, because the two sounds of "Liu" and "镠" are the same.The three left home and went on the road until Hangzhou, where they met Dong Chang, the governor.Dong Chang was overjoyed to see that he was tall and strong, and he tried his martial arts, and he was really familiar with it.They are all appointed as benefactor generals, and they are used by the army.

Not a day later, the spies reported: "Huang Chao has tens of thousands of soldiers, and they will commit crimes in Lin'an. I hope the Lord will respond." Dong Chang pretended to be a soldier and horse envoy to lead the army to rescue him.Asked: "How many troops will be used for this trip?" Qian Liu replied: "The general is more strategic than courageous. Soldiers are more expensive than elites. I would like to have two bells for help, and 300 soldiers are enough." Dong Chang then ordered Qian Liu to come The army of this state, choose 300 people by themselves, led by Zhong Ming and Zhong Liang, and look forward to marching in Lin'an.

Go to Shijian town and find out that the bandit soldiers are only fifteen miles away from the town.Qian Liu discussed with Er Zhong and said: "I have few soldiers, but many bandit soldiers. They can only be outsmarted, but not invincible. It is better to send out surprise soldiers to respond." The dangerous place in Fu Valley.First send two gunners to lie in the way of the bandit soldiers; the first class bandit soldiers pass the danger, let off the guns as a signal, and shoot them with twenty strong bows.Zhong Ming and Zhong Liang each led about 100 people to ambush, ready to respond.The remaining soldiers scattered in the valley, raising flags and shouting to help the troops.

The allocation has been set, and Huang Chaobing arrived early.It turns out that the mountain road in Shijian Town is dangerous and narrow, and only one person can ride on it.The vanguard of the thieves led the front team to cross the danger, and they all passed by alone.Suddenly there was a sound of cannon, and twenty powerful crossbows were fired at the same time.The thieves were shocked, and they didn't know how many people were there.Wearing a red brocade robe, holding a painted halberd in his hand, and leading a command flag, he straddled a melon-yellow war horse and was coming in a show of power; but he was hit in the neck by a crossbow arrow and fell off the horse upside down.The thieves were in chaos.Zhong Ming and Zhong Liang led 200 people, shouting the wind and shouting, and rushed out from both ends.The thieves were busy, and they could hear the shouts all around, and they were trampling on each other with an unknown number of soldiers and horses.More than five hundred levels were beheaded, and the rest of the thieves were scattered.

Qian Liuquan won for a while, and thought: "This is a fluke plan, but it will never be used again. If the bandits are large, 300 people will all be ashes." Thirty miles away, there is a village named Ba hundred miles.Lead troops to station there.But he said to an old woman beside the road: "If someone asks you about the news of the Lin'an soldiers, it's only eight hundred miles away."

But Huang Chao heard that the former team was defeated in Shijian Town, so he led the army and came here to hide the mountains.When they arrived in the town, they didn't see a single officer, so they sent people around to search for residents and ask for letters.Don't stop until the old woman arrives.Asked: "Where is the Lin'an Army?" The old woman replied: "Tun eight hundred miles." Gathered and settled eight hundred miles away.Nai sighed: "Xiangzhe's twenty crossbowmen are still no match for him. How about stationing troops for eight hundred miles? Hangzhou is impossible!" So the bandits dared not stop at Shijian Town, and went all the way to Yuezhou. .Lin'an depends on preservation.There are poems to prove it: a few soldiers can defeat many people, and a good general is as clever as a god.Three hundred soldiers were stationed for eight hundred miles, and the bandit army was frightened and dispersed.
