Chapter 41: The Idiots Ascend to Heaven and Become Bones, Two Heroes Shoot Red Lights with Two Arrows
No.20 One time, all the foolish people ascended to heaven and became bones, two heroes shot red lights with two arrows (1)
It is said that Yuan Wu and Wang Mo said they knew each other, and Zheng Tianyou and Shu Dong rushed to make amends and entered the small room together.After a while, food and wine were prepared, and everyone sat and ate for a long time.Yuan Wu then asked the two of them what was on their minds.What will you want to do.Zheng Tianyou said: "Since the two of us have seen the changing world, how can we make a fortune if we only sell wine here? I am afraid that we will not be able to do some business. Today, I inquired about a silver tael from Qinhui in Shandong Province, and sent it to Bianjing, from here. Passed by. I am going to rob him now, so I burned the profit paper and rewarded everyone. Everyone worked together to get this silver tael, so I went to learn the story of Song Jiang in the past, to occupy Liangshan, gather people, and do some business. I am planning to do it tomorrow. , They are escorted by hundreds of officers and soldiers. I have few people. Who knows that the two elder brothers will come to help. When I go to the mountain, I will be honored by the two elder brothers as leaders. I don’t know what the two elder brothers want? "

Yuan Wu heard this, because he said: "I have sought fame many times in the past few years, and I wanted to bring order to the Song Dynasty. Unexpectedly, I was suppressed by others, unable to go up, and used by the court. I can't use it, and I can only retreat to the forest. I spend my whole life as a fisherman, woodcutter, farmer and shepherd. Because I think that the heavens give birth to my talent, it must not be for nothing. If you want to learn from Su Zhangyou's theory, the Song Dynasty is unified, and there is no hero of the six kingdoms; So full of enthusiasm, nowhere to spill, only wandering in the rivers and lakes, always proud. Unexpectedly, I have seen signs in the sky recently, and I know that the luck of the Song Dynasty is not always. When there is a trend of stars shifting and turning, I will not distinguish borders and establish boundaries. If not Taking advantage of this moment, it's a violent bang, dominating one side, occupying a piece of land, and doing some business, it's also a waste of a man. It's a match made in heaven to meet two people today. Today, he robbed Qin Hui and silver, and he stripped it from the traitor. There is no hindrance to taking it. Why are there many people? If there are too many people, it will be easy to vent. If you get close, you will tire the residents. According to my calculations, there are only four of us. Let them go wherever they go, take them when they see the opportunity, and find a place to live. Although people know, I can't do anything about it. Just now the two said that Liang Shanshui is hiding in the lake, which is also a calculation. But I have recently seen that in Liang Shanshui, the vitality has completely disappeared, which is not the same as it was at that time. I went to Bianjing in the past. I browsed along the way, and occasionally saw the peaks and ridges in Baiyun Mountain, and the land veins are vast. Although it cannot be displayed in a big way, it can also be used as a small structure for heroes. When I have a chance in the future and meet strange people, I will pay attention to it.”

Zheng Tianyou and Shudong were very happy when they heard it.Wang Mo said: "Liang Shanshui Po is their nest of bad luck. How about going to him? I also talked about Baiyun in my dream. Now if there is Baiyun Mountain, it will be good to go there. I don't know what chance, what strange person, strange People, just have the same idea as me, and I would like to worship him as my elder brother." Then he uttered four sentences in his dream, and Yuan Wu also said two slogans. I don't know that Xiao Yangchun is such a hero, so he is so famous. I don't know if we will meet again?" For a while, the four of them ate very happily and tried their best, Su Dongyuan didn't have a small family, so they rested in the same room.

At dawn, Yuan Wu wrote a letter home and sent the porter away.The four of them only ate and drank in one place and waited.Just waiting until the middle of the day, I suddenly heard the sound of people walking outside the door.When they got it, they looked at the gap in the door together.I saw a Li Bao in front, holding a passing card, shouting loudly: "The place is upright, welcome the silver, and escort the front store for delivery. There may be thieves, so be careful." Beating a small gong, he hurried over.It turns out that this road is the junction of Shandong and Henan counties. All the officials and merchants passing by will stop here to change the feet of donkeys and horsemen.

After a while, someone came to wait on him.I saw more than ten riders first, with big army men sitting on them, all holding bows and holding arrows, with white knives hanging from their wrists, surrounded by an officer in the middle.Zhonglibao knelt on both sides to meet him.Then the two of them carried more than a dozen wooden barrels, all of which contained silver taels.Behind, there are more than [-] infantry, all holding spears and sticks, pressing tightly.When they got to the road, all the porters unloaded the silver taels, and some local folks came to exchange them.One by one, when the transactions were over, everyone went to buy food and drink.

At this time, Shu Dong was inside the door, looking very angry.Because he couldn't help but jumped out of the door, he stood up and went to the door of the nearby house.Seeing them get up and go, Fang walked back home, facing the three of them, just stumbled and sighed, "I don't want to pay any money for this property!" Zheng Tianyou hurriedly asked: "You and I have been thinking about it for a long time, and we can keep it today." Arrived, and with the help of two older brothers, it is secure. How can you say such words?"

Shu Dong said: "Brother Zheng, how do you know that you will go in? I always just said that it is business as usual, but a few escorts, and civilian husbands carry it, and it is easy to start in a remote place. Now there are officials escorting them in person, horse soldiers, infantry, bows and arrows. The knives and guns are very neat and fully guarded against secrets. How can the three or four of me do it? If we can do it, if we rob it, we will be taken away by him, so let’s stop thinking about it!"

Wang Mo was very depressed when he heard this, so he had to say: "A man who does things is so timid and unpopular. Although my bow and arrow have never pierced lice, they have also shot eagles and armor. No one can compare; With a sword and a horse, hundreds of officers and soldiers only killed him and retreated. It's a shame that he came out empty-handed and didn't have a bow and horse. Without a bow and horse, these dull men who are full of food are expected to be no match for me. Cut him down, what are you afraid of him!"

After hearing this, the two asked, "Why did my brother come out empty? When did you shoot the eagle armor?" Wang Mo had no choice but to say it out.Shu Dong said: "I have a good pair of bows and arrows in my house. It was left here by a soldier last year. I haven't come to pick them up so far. I just need to use them. If I want a horse, I don't have any. I have to envy the village. It is fifteen miles away from here. The family has a son named Zai Xiao He Huang Zuo. His family feeds a black mule. People say he can walk, and even horses can’t keep up with him. This Huang Zuo went out two months ago, so I went to borrow it from his father. He is a loyal old man. When he saw me, he dared not let me ride. Brother, how are you?" Yuan Wu said: "Mule is good, and people will not be suspicious when they see it." Shu Dong then took it from the top of the bed. A pair of bows and arrows came down, handed to Wang Mo, turned around and went out.Not long after, he had already arrived on a mule, complete with saddle and bridle, and he was very strong indeed.

On the next day, everyone had a full meal.Shu Dong said something else in front of the fire worker, and sent him home; he tied the few taels of silver he had accumulated around his waist.Wang Mo already carried the bow and arrow with him, stepped on the black mule, and went out first.The three of them each took their personal equipment, closed the door, and caught up with Wang Mo and went with them.So he followed the silver bar all the way.

It turned out that Qin Hui, from Jiankang, was poor and studious, and won the first prize.He was first awarded the Yuzhang Judgment. He was greedy for danger, stripped the people of all their benefits, and was promoted everywhere.He was also dissatisfied, and wanted to enter Beijing as an official, trying to cater to him and stand above all officials.This year coincided with the enthronement of the Zen throne in Chaozhong.Knowing that Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and others were in power, they were all profit-seeking people, so they perverted the punishment and bent the law, gathered [-] guan gold and silver, and went to Beijing for management.Knowing that there are often thieves robbing the road, I dare not get up easily for a while, so I hesitated.Because he thought of an idea, he packed up the silver and sent Yuhou, pretending to solve the Beijing army's salary, and got up on a certain day.

It is suitable for Wei Weixian of Linxian County to go to Beijing at the end of his term, for example, to pay his respects.Qin Hui was very happy to meet him, and entrusted him to be escorted to Beijing, Wei Xian took orders, and as a result, he met prefectures and counties along the way, all of them were recognized as imperial military pay, and soldiers, horses and men were escorted, and he was very cautious.After walking for a long time, it was not far from Bianjing. Wei County Wei and Qin Yuhou gradually felt at ease.When I traveled to a place in a day, I saw that the people were prosperous, so I ordered everyone to rest here for half a day and get up tomorrow morning.So I found a large and spacious house to live in, and there was a local guard to guard and patrol at night.

When Wang Mo and the other four arrived, they also wanted to seek rest.Seeing that they were of different appearances, all the local people dared not receive them. They replied, "If in the past, you were allowed to rest, but today you go to the government to pay money and order that you are not allowed to stay in the past, you can go to the front for a night." Wang Mo listened. , Angrily said: "What official, dare to make a good man a bad man! You must call to see that there is no bad word on the faces of the four of us." After that, he wanted to jump off the mule and enter the house.Zheng Tianyou and Shu Dong also wanted to speak.

Yuan Wu hurriedly cast a wink at the three of them, and said to everyone: "We are really good people, how could they know to go in? There are silver taels, and there is also a gentleman who rests here. If there is a disturbance, it is really a matter of local relations. How can we agree?" Stay here. We are just here to ask an acquaintance, I wonder how long this gentleman and the silver are here?" Everyone said: "This is an emergency silver. It's just because the gentleman has worked hard for a long time, and he will rest for half a day, and he will get up at five o'clock tomorrow morning. I'll go." Yuan Wu said: "Since we got up so quickly, let's stay in the village ahead for one night, and we won't be too late to look for it tomorrow." Everyone said: "This person still has something to say."

Someone inside said: "Since you are looking for people here, you don't need to go far away. You only need to go to Zhengguo Township, and some people will stay there. At night, most of the people in our village come to Zhengguo Township to watch and send relatives away. "Another person continued: "I'm afraid you won't have time to sleep there, just see the dawn!" Yuan Wudao: "Why is this so beautiful?" The crowd said: "Where you go, it's natural I know, how can we say it." Yuan Wudao: "Which way is Zhengguo Township, how far is it from here? Can I get it today?" The crowd said: "It's not far, it's only going to the northwest. There are thirteen or four It’s still early today, and I’m afraid it won’t be too late when we get there.” Yuan Wu asked, bid farewell to the crowd, and headed forward.The three had no choice but to follow.

Yuan Wu picked an empty place to stand, called the three of them to come forward, and said, "It's rare to have this opportunity tonight, and everyone needs to work hard." The three said, "I don't know how to care about it?" I'm afraid it's hard to get in, and because Baiyun Mountain is far away, I can't run for a while. It's only five days away from here to the mountain, and it's time to prove that there is something wrong in Guoxiang. If there are many people in the country, seek the near but not the far: this is a plan to escape from the disaster."

The three were delighted.After walking for a while, I saw men and women from all villages and towns walking into the village in front.The four knew that it was Zhenguo Township, so they followed the crowd into the village.I saw a flag pole hanging high above the door of every house, and the Buddha's voice was endless inside.Wisps of cigarettes linger around the house.The four of them saw it, but they didn't know why.
