No.12 Back to Xiaoyangchun willingly pleaded guilty and refused to cling to others
It is said that when Yang Yao suddenly saw this man killing people, he was so angry that he shouted and cursed and beat him with a stick.The man hastily stood up and said: "I can't stay. Your voice is very familiar, isn't it Xiaoyangchun Taoist elder brother?" Yang Yao was shocked when he heard this: "How dare you be like the normal situation in the neighboring castle of Hanyang?" The man hastily swiped his knife, stepped forward and hugged him: "Brother, I am just like usual. I followed all the way to save my brother, why is my brother here alone? I think he killed the escort, let's go together."

Seeing that it was the usual situation, Yang Yao said with great joy, "brother, why do I have to get away? Isn't the guard standing over there?" The knife is going to kill.Yang Yao held back with one hand and said: "Brother, you can't do this, I have something to tell you." Then he quietly said what was on his mind, and said: "Why are you fighting this person here to the death, and you are so murderous?"

Chang Kuang said: "I got the letter that my brother and Tai Yuan committed crimes, so I rushed to Yueyang with Ding Qian and Yu Deming to rescue them. I didn't expect to get a solution, but I was so anxious that I couldn't help it. I had an idea and wrote a letter. The two pieces of paper are delivered by air and water, and the heroes of the mountains and forests are notified to rob them along the way." Then he read the book. "Because I didn't feel relieved, I came here overnight, but my brother is still here. There are books to inform me. I searched for some things to go back here, but I met this lamp, Xue Liang, who refused to tolerate me. I couldn’t get away, but my brother shook his eyes with a stick, so I killed him, and then I got angry. I just don’t know why my brother walks at night instead of walking on the main road?”

Yang Yao then told the story of Wang Bao, and said: "Because the escort is timid, he took this path. It's hard to walk when it's dark, and he can't catch up with the place. Because he heard the sound of the simple knife, he met you." Said: "Since this is the case, I have a sworn brother who lives in front of Luo Zhuang. His surname is Luo, and his name is Luo Jingde, a golden-haired dog. He was born as a hunter. He is skilled in martial arts and loves to marry people. I lived at his house the day before yesterday. One night, I told about my elder brother's affairs, I was very fond of him, and I was there to inquire about robbery and rescue. I will send my elder brother to his house today." Yang Yao said: "It's good to go together, I think you killed this person here today, if If you don't go far, there will be right and wrong. How can you be troubled for me?" Then he called two escorts.

The two looked at the ground and were horrified. They suspected that Yang Yao had killed the man, so they hurriedly asked why.Yang Yao only vaguely agreed, so he took out a bag of silver taels in the package, handed it to Chang Kuang and said: "There are some small silver taels, which can be used, and you can't stay here." He whispered a few words.Chang Kuang hurriedly bid farewell, and before leaving, he said, "Luozhuang is not far away, only six or seven miles away. There is a bamboo fence in it, and there is a big tree in front of the gate. This is his house."

When the two guards saw that Yang Yao had killed someone, they only complained secretly.Seeing this man gone, he asked Yang Yao who he was, but Yang Yao just didn't say anything, and hurried forward and said, "He told us to go to the lodging, and come to the lodging quickly." Then they hurried away together.It wasn't until the clouds scattered and the moon was bright that I came to a village.

It was already the second watch, and I saw a bamboo fence and a big tree on the first right in front, and everyone was happy.When he reached the door, Yang Yao knocked on the door with his hand.After knocking twice, someone opened the door and said, "Why did Dalang come back at this time?" Yang Yao saw that he had misidentified him, and said, "I am Yang Yao from Yueyang Mansion, and I was deported here. , I lost my place, and I have nowhere to go, so I came to vote for your official Luo. Please go in and let me know." The man heard this, and said, "My Dalang, he still hasn't returned in the game sooner or later. Since he is staying here, he must be with you. Dalang is knowledgeable, please come and sit down in the hall, and I will report." Then he led three people into the hall, went to light the lights and put them down, called Kuan to sit down, and hurried out the door.

It turns out that Luo Jingde has no parents, only his wife and the father-in-law are at home.What he likes is to compete with people with a few bones.If the county magistrate asked him for wild animals, he had no choice but to find some filial piety, and exchange the rest for money and use it as gambling capital.In the game that night, I was playing happily with the people who gambled together in the front and back villages.Suddenly, the father-in-law came behind him and said, "There is a guest from afar who came here to stay for the night, and Dalang will definitely go back." Luo Jingde became agitated for a while, and said, "You only take care of him at home, why come to pester and interrupt our conversation Gambling fun! You know it’s not death, fire, thieves, but you have to make a fuss to annoy people!”

After all, it's just a bet with a group of people calling red and green.It's not convenient for his father-in-law to go back for a while, so he just stands still and doesn't leave.Unexpectedly, Luo Jingde tossed several times in a row and lost half of the bet with the chips in front of him.Suddenly I turned around and saw my father-in-law standing behind me, so I couldn't help complaining: "It's you who came here and caused me to lose a lot of money. And I asked who you came, and you want me to go back?" The father-in-law said: "I I can't even recognize him. When he entered the door, he said that it was Yue Yang's army who had committed Yang Yao, and there were three people with two tolerances." Luo Jingde was shocked and said happily after hearing this: "Why didn't you say it earlier, you almost missed it!" After finishing speaking , hurriedly stacked the chips in front of him and handed them over to the leader.Immediately got up and flew out.

When I saw Yang Yao at home, I was overwhelmed and bowed down. He apologized and said, "Please don't invite my brother to come home. Don't be guilty of being late!"Luo Jingde said: "I know about my brother's affairs. I have been waiting at the intersection for several days, but my brother has not come. Why do you walk at night?" Then he whispered, "Kill the two of them tonight." I went to talk about my thoughts, and said the reason why I went to the small road and met the usual murders, so I pointed here.

Luo Jingde was pleasantly surprised when he heard this and said: "My brother only lives here for a while, how dare he come to my place!" Then he asked the inside to pack up the wine and food, and the two talked again.Not long after dinner and wine came together, after everyone had finished eating, Luo Jingde made a bunk in the hall and said: "Just mess with this night, make room for my brother to rest tomorrow morning." Yang Yao said: "It's late at night, brother go in Let's go." Then he slept with the two guards and his clothes.

Luo Jingde was about to move the lamp and turn around to enter, but suddenly there was a commotion in front of the door, and firelight penetrated through the crack of the door.I only heard someone shouting outside the door: "How can the world be cleared? The escort connived at the military criminals, beat people during the day, and conspired to murder and wound people at night. They escaped here. Quickly tie up this thief and send him to join the army, and beat him a hundred times with me first." Ten sticks, send them to the officials at dawn! If you don't send them out, all of us will break in and turn a few houses into white ground!" He only shouted and cursed in front of the door.It turned out that Wang Bao was beaten in the garden. He didn't say that he caused trouble and suffered a loss, but walked back angrily, and gathered a group of brothers with sticks, wine and meat to take revenge.It was already evening when we arrived in Taoyuan, so we rushed into the shop for important people.The host said: "In my hotel, people who eat wine come and go a lot, and they go after eating. You haven't delivered it yet, how can you ask me for someone?"

Wang Bao was furious when he heard this, and cursed: "You damned thief Wonton! He is a passing thief, and you know my name. Naturally, you want to avenge your hatred. You don't look at me at all, and you openly Boldly let him go! But you know that when you are fighting with him, you just stand by and watch, distracting your mind. If you are not with him, you must be secretly instigating and telling the garrison to beat me up. I am lucky that I saw the opportunity Get out. You dare to know three people today, even this land is turned over, and it still falls on you to demand someone!" After saying that, they fought and quarreled, forcing the demander.

The master was very annoyed, so he could only echo back: "Why are people so dirty? If I hadn't kept his second punch, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to jump like a ghost at this time!" Seeing his ugliness being exposed, Wang Bao couldn't bear it. furious.Then he caught up, stretched out five fingers, scratched his mouth three or four times in a row, grabbed his hair, and punched him twice on the spine, only to make his master fall to the ground.Wang Bao also told the crowd to beat the objects in the store to snowflakes for a while, tied a hemp rope, and beat the important people.Seeing that his master was suffering, the waiter had no choice but to step forward and say: "Don't beat him up like that. If you want to find him, I have some brains, so I'm not far away. You just let my master go, and I will lead you to chase him."

After everyone heard this, they let go of their bad behavior, dragged the shop waiter, and coaxed them out of the house.Everyone flocked to the mound and killed one person underground.Wang Bao was overjoyed, and said: "We took this thief to join the army, so we had to beat him to vent our anger. There is no excuse to make him fall. Now let him kill the dead, first beat him with a stick, and then Report to the official. Let him add another crime to one crime, and it will be difficult to live."

After hearing this, all the people said that they were reasonable, so they chased after him together.Suddenly seeing a person coming in front, Wang Bao asked, "You come in front, where can you see a military prisoner and two escorts staying?" The man said: "You ask others, how do you know? I am in a gambling game Come on, just now I heard Luo Jingde's father-in-law tell him to go back, what kind of Yueyang army prisoner did he leave behind, dare it be him?" Wang Bao said: "Is this Luo Jingde the Orion in Yangcheng?" The man said: "Exactly, exactly. "Let's go."

When Wang Bao asked, he was full of joy, and rushed to the door of Luo's house to shout and curse.Yang Yao and the escort listened to the message and got up together.Luo Jingde went inside quickly, took out a steel fork, and said to Yang Yao: "I'll go out and kill everyone, brother will go." Yang Yao hurriedly stopped him and said: "Brother, you can't do it. If you do it in the dark, you will hurt people. He will hurt people today. Knowing that I am here, even if I get away, I have to waste time with you. He put his life on me, so he went to the government. It's not a big deal. I'll go out to see him." Luo Jingde stopped him and said, "Brother, you can't go out. There is someone outside the door. More than a hundred people, if they are easy to talk to him, how can they explain clearly, they will fight." Yang Yao said: "It's okay, it's okay. How dare I beat me when I'm an official offender?"
