Wu Chengxiu was from Liaoyang. He liked to travel and his friends were all celebrities.

A man came to me in the night dream and said: "I have traveled all over the world, and all my friends have been harmed. Only one person can share the hardships, but we don't know each other. Why?" Asked: "Who is it?" He said: "Tian Qilang." Er Meng woke up,

He was secretly surprised. In the early morning of the next day, he asked his friends: "Who is Tian Qilang?" Someone said: "East Village Orion." Wu Chengxiu asked for directions, went to visit, and knocked on the door with a riding whip. Not long after, a man came out, more than 20 years old.

He was wearing a dirty hat, a red coat, and short nose shorts, all patched. The man bowed his hands and saluted, and asked: "Where did you come from, young master?" Wu Chengxiu reported his name and said: "I fell ill during the trip.

, I want to borrow the room for a little rest, okay?" The man nodded. Wu Chengxiu said: "By the way, who is Tian Qilang?" The man said: "I am, come into the house."

There are several broken houses in the courtyard, and when you enter a small room, tiger and wolf skins hang on the walls, and there are no tables and chairs on the ground. Qi Lang spreads the skin on the ground and invites the guests to sit down. Wu Chengxiu talks to them, his words are simple and happy. He gives gold as a means of livelihood.

, Qilang refused. After insisting again and again, Qilang came in with the gold, told his mother, and asked her to make a decision. Er, the old lady came out and said sternly: "I am only here for a while, and I have no intention of letting him serve the distinguished guests. Sir, please come back." Wu Chengxiu heard that.

After saying this, she felt ashamed and retreated. On the way home, she wandered around and wondered what she meant. A servant happened to hear her mother's words behind the boat, so she truthfully reported the reason.

At the beginning, Qilang reported to his mother with gold, and the mother said: "I just saw the young master, who has a bad look on his face, and will suffer a strange disaster. Being appreciated by others will cause others worry, and being favored by others will be distressed. The rich will repay with wealth, and the poor will repay.

It is unlucky to receive a lot of money for no reason because of righteousness. If you accept it, you must die in return, so it is better not to accept it."

Hearing this, Wu Chengxiu deeply admired the virtuous old lady and fell in love with Qilang even more. The next day, a banquet was invited, but Qilang refused. Wu Chengxiu came to the door in person, sat down and asked for a drink. Qilang entertained him with fine wine and venison, and he was courteous. The next day, Wu Chengxiu

Invited again, Qilang even offered gold, but Wu Chengxiu refused. Wu Chengxiu excused himself to buy a tiger skin and said, "This is the deposit." Qilang was willing to accept it. After returning, he counted the tiger skins, and found that the skin was less and the money was more. He thought, "The skin is not enough."

, you must go into the mountains to hunt."

After three days in the mountain, he found nothing. His wife was ill and he was guarding the potion, so he had no time to hunt. Ten days later, his wife died of illness, and Qilang took care of the funeral. The deposit was gradually spent. Wu Chengxiu came to express his condolences in person, and the etiquette was rich. After his wife was buried, Qilang was determined to return her.

Favoring favors, he returned to his old business and took his bow into the forest, but returned empty-handed. Wu Chengxiu advised: "There is no rush in the tiger skin matter, take your time. If you have time, you can go to the humble house to talk about it." Qilang regretted being in debt and did not want to

Wu Chengxiu asked, "How many tiger skins do you still have at home?" Qilang checked the inventory and found that the leather was bitten by insects and all the tiger hair fell off. He was very upset. Wu Chengxiu comforted him: "No hair is better. I originally

I like fur-free leather." Roll up the tiger skin, hold it in the palm of your hand, and leave.

Qilang thought to himself: "The price of the goods is high, and I have taken all the advantages. What's going on?" Feeling sorry for the businessman, he packed grain into the mountains, spent several nights, captured a tiger, and gave it to Wu as a whole. Wu Chengxiu was overjoyed.

, prepared dishes, invited him to stay overnight, and said: "Please stay for three days, and then I will let you go home." Qilang insisted on leaving, with a firm attitude. Wu Chengxiu became anxious and locked the doors and windows, so Qilang was not allowed to go out, so he had no choice but to stay.

During the banquet, all the guests saw Qilang dressed poorly and whispered to each other, "Master Wu is not careful in making friends." Wu Chengxiu didn't take it seriously and treated Qilang favorably and offered him new clothes, but Qilang refused. When he fell asleep at night, Wu Chengxiu secretly replaced him.

He put it on and accepted it as a last resort. A few days later, Qi Lang left, and his son was ordered by Nainai to return the new clothes and ask for his father's old robe. Wu Chengxiu smiled and said: "Go back and tell the old lady that the old robe has been used as shoe lining."

." From then on, Qilang often hunted rabbits and deer, and gave them to Wu. If he was invited to a banquet, he refused.

One day, Wu Chengxiu visited Qilang. He happened to be out hunting but had not returned. The old lady came out and leaned against the door and said, "Don't attract my son again. You have bad intentions." Wu Chengxiu heard this and retreated in shame. Half a year later, his family suddenly reported: "Qilang is here."

He fought for a cheetah, beat a man to death, and was captured by the government." Wu Chengxiu was shocked and rushed to visit. Qilang had been taken to prison. When the two met, they were silent for a long time. Qilang said: "In the future, please take care of my mother for me." Wu Chengxiu.

He came out miserably and hurriedly bribed the county magistrate with a large amount of money, and bribed the plaintiff with a hundred gold, and then the incident was settled. After more than a month, Qilang was released without charge.

The old lady reprimanded her son with emotion: "Your skin and hair, as well as your mastery, are beyond my ability to care for. I only hope that your son will live a hundred years without any disasters, which will be my son's blessing." Qilang Yu came to the door to express his thanks, and the old lady said:

"If you go, you can go, but there is no need to say thank you. You can thank him for small favors, but not for big favors." When Qi Lang saw Wu, Wu Chengxiu comforted him with gentle words. Qi Lang only responded, and his family blamed him for being rude. But Wu Chengxiu loved him for his sincerity and sincerity, and he became more and more fond of him.

Courtesy.

From then on, Qilang always stayed in the Wu Mansion. He accepted all gifts calmly and never refused or thanked him. It was Wu Chengxiu's birthday, there were many guests, and there was no empty room in the cabin. Wu Chengxiu and Qilang lived in a small room, and three servants made straw beds.

, five people living in the same room. (small house, small house.)

At the end of the second watch, all the servants were asleep, but they were still talking to themselves. Qi Lang's sword was hanging on the wall. Suddenly, the sharp blade was unsheathed, making a clanking sound, and the light flickered like lightning. Wu was startled, and Qi Lang also stood up and asked.

"Who is lying under the bed?" Wu Chengxiu said: "They are all servants in the mansion." Qi Lang said: "There must be evil people among them." Wu Chengxiu said: "How can we judge?" Qi Lang said: "This knife was bought from a foreign country, it can't kill people.

Stained with blood. It has been three lives so far. Thousands of heads have been beheaded, and the sharpness is unparalleled. If you see an evil person, the sword will tremble and tremble, and your ears will drink blood. It is better for a young man to be close to a gentleman, and to stay away from villains may avoid disaster." Wu Chengxiu nodded.

agree.

Qi Lang was unhappy and turned around on the bed. Wu Chengxiu said: "We are destined to have good fortune and misfortune, so why bother others?" Qi Lang said: "I have no fear myself, but my mother is in the hall and I feel uneasy." Wu Chengxiu said: "Why do you do this?" Qi Lang said

He said: "I hope nothing happens." It turned out that there were three people under the bed. One was Lin'er, who had been with the master for a long time and was quite favored; the other was a boy servant who was often sent around by Wu;

When the masters quarreled, they were least welcome. Wu Chengxiu secretly suspected that the villain must be Li. At dawn the next day, Shanyan dismissed him and ordered him to leave.

Wu Chengxiu's eldest son was named Wu Shen, and he married a wife named Wang. One day, Wu Chengxiu went out and stayed in the forest to look after the house. The chrysanthemums were in full bloom in the house, and Wang thought to herself: "My father-in-law is not at home, and there is no one in the courtyard, so it is better to go pick flowers alone."

Outside the study, Lin'er suddenly jumped out and stepped forward to tease her. Wang turned around and fled. Lin'er forced her into the room and was about to molest her. Wang yelled and Wu Shen came to the rescue. Lin'er escaped in a hurry. Wu Chengxiu returned.

When the queen of the family heard about this, she was furious and looked for Lin'er everywhere, but she was nowhere to be found. Two or three days later, Wu finally heard the news: Lin'er had joined the imperial censor's mansion.

The censor was an official in Beijing, and he entrusted his younger brother with household chores. As a fellow countryman, Wu Chengxiu wrote to ask for Lin'er, but his younger brother ignored him. Wu Chengxiu became increasingly angry and filed a complaint with the government. Although the arrest document had been issued, the officials refused.

The county magistrate will not interfere with the execution.

Wu Chengxiu was angry when Qi Lang suddenly arrived. Wu Chengxiu sighed and said, "The words of my virtuous brother have now come true." When Qi Lang heard what happened, he became distraught and left without saying a word. Wu Chengxiu secretly ordered his servants to search for Lin'er.

, Lin'er returned home at night, was captured by his servants, and was taken to see Wu. Wu Chengxiu tortured her, but Lin'er had an arrogant attitude and insulted her in every possible way. Upon seeing this, Wu Heng, Wu's uncle, advised: "It is better to send the culprit to the government.

, deal with it in accordance with the law to avoid getting angry and causing trouble."

Wu Chengxiu nodded in agreement and escorted Lin'er to the court. The censor had already sent a letter, ordering the county magistrate to show mercy. For this reason, Lin'er was acquitted and became more and more proud. He loudly announced in the crowd that he had falsely accused the Wang family and himself.

Ran. Wu Chengxiu was helpless and resentful. In a fit of anger, he ran to the censor's gate and shouted curses at him. The neighbors tried to persuade him to leave.

One night later, his family suddenly came to report: "Lin'er was cut into pieces and her body was abandoned in the wilderness." Wu Chengxiu was surprised, but it didn't last long. The uncle and nephew were sued by the censor's brother and escorted to the government for trial.

The county magistrate allowed no argument and wanted to impose punishment. Wu Chengxiu shouted: "There is no need to kill people! As for insulting the officials and gentry, it was all done by me alone and has nothing to do with my uncle." The county magistrate turned a deaf ear. Wu Chengxiu's eyes were cracked, and Yu stepped forward to argue.

They swarmed up and pressed him to the ground. The county magistrate waved his wrist and said: "Torture." All the officials came down with sticks. Wu Heng was old and weak, and he only had seven or eight sticks, and he died.

When the county magistrate saw that he had beaten someone to death, he no longer pursued the case and ordered him to withdraw. Wu Chengxiu cried and scolded, but the county magistrate ignored him and walked away. Wu Chengxiu carried his uncle's body back, angry and unable to do anything. Yu Xun Qilang planned, and Qilang

There was no trace of Miaomiao, and he didn't come to express condolences. He thought: I treated Qilang well, so why am I a stranger? Could it be that he was the one who killed Lin'er? If so, why didn't you discuss it with me? So he sent someone to inquire.

, when they arrived at Qilang's house, the door was closed and the family didn't know where they were going.

One day, Fang, the brother of the censor, was in the county office, chatting and laughing with the county magistrate. A woodcutter suddenly broke in, holding a hatchet in his hand, and came forward to fight. The brother of the censor raised his hand to block, and the knife fell off his wrist, and he was killed with another knife.

The county magistrate was frightened and fled in all directions, calling for help. The woodcutter looked around. After hearing the news, all the government officials danced with guns and clubs and surrounded him one after another. Knowing that he was outnumbered, the woodcutter committed suicide and died. Everyone came forward to identify him and found out that he was Tian Qilang.

After recovering from the shock, the county magistrate came out for an autopsy and saw Qilang lying in a pool of blood, still holding the hatchet in his hand. The magistrate squatted down to examine the body, and suddenly the corpse jumped up, cut off his head with a knife, and then fell to the ground.

The government ordered the arrest of Qilang's mother and son, but they had already fled. When Wu Chengxiu heard that Qilang had died, he cried bitterly. His enemies said that he had instigated Qilang to commit the murder. Wu Chengxiu sold his family's property and worked around it, and was finally spared. Qilang abandoned

For more than thirty days in the field of corpses, birds and beasts surrounded the body, guarding it. Wu Chengxiu took the corpse and buried it generously. Qilang's son lived in Dengzhou, changed his surname to Tong, joined the army, accumulated military merit, and was promoted to General Tongzhi. When he returned to Liaoyang,
