The village store a few miles away from Chaojiazhuang is the first village store built secretly by Chao Gai. It is much larger than a year ago, with more than twenty thatched huts standing. And there are three to two hundred more households here.

It forms a village. Surrounded by rivers and backed by mountains, it has a superior geographical environment and beautiful scenery.

The village shop is located at the entrance of the village, and the wine bottles carried on bamboo poles are flying. Although the restaurant has never admitted that it is related to Chaojiazhuang, the people around it and the passing caravans know that they are probably inextricably linked.

Everyone knows Chao Gai’s reputation for generosity and justice?

Merchants or ordinary people gather from all directions for the low prices and safety. The business of the village store has always been booming, especially when summer comes. Spicy cold noodles and rock sugar tea to relieve summer heat and thirst are very popular. The prices are affordable and people working in the fields are very popular.

People like to come here to have a rest and have a few bowls of wine.

It can be said that the small wilderness village store has an endless stream of guests.

The sun was shining brightly, it was just after noon, and there were few guests. A strange man wearing a bamboo hat came from the north, wheezing and coming to the shop to have a drink.

The reason why he is a weirdo is that he looks weird!

This man is more than eight feet tall, tall and well-built. He is dressed simply but has a strange appearance. He has a broad purple-black face, a cinnabar mark on his temples, and a tuft of black and yellow hair on it. He carries a simple knife in his hand. He is clamoring for wine and meat before entering the door. He is extremely vicious.

.

The second reason is that I eat too much!

This evil man spent some money and ordered ten kilograms of soy sauce beef, some stir-fried vegetables, four jiao of wine, several trays of steamed dumplings, and more than a dozen large meat buns. A man with a big golden knife sat down, shook his cheeks, and said,

Eat Haisai.

I have never seen such a good person!

Several waiters in the store, wiping sweat or shaking cattail fans, would always look at this person. They would wait nearby, for fear of being inconsiderate.

"My lord, the young one is waiting nearby. If you need anything, just give me any instructions."

"Hahaha, good wine. Pour the wine quickly. Come, sit down and drink together." The man looked ferocious but very forthright. He laughed like thunder and took the waiter to drink together.

People say that wine can bring people closer together!

When the guys ate wine together, there were many topics to talk about and many words of praise. Du An, the brother-in-law of Gui Cao Zheng, was already eloquent, and his little mouth was like honey. He praised the big man until he smiled like a child.

A flower blooms.

The whole village shop was filled with laughter!

Even the shopkeeper smiled brightly and came over with a jar of wine to entertain him: "This gentleman, he is a hero at first sight. Our village store respects all heroes the most. This jar of aged wine is specially given as a gift. Come on, come and have a taste."

."

"Hahaha, good wine, good wine!" The big man laughed wildly after drinking. He didn't realize that the smiles of the shopkeeper and the clerks were a bit meaningful.

How did this man know that this village store was doing business on the surface, but actually collecting intelligence? From the moment he stepped into the door of the village store, he was watched by pairs of eyes.

Anyone who is a child of the Jianghu or who seems to be capable of a few attacks with force is the object of Chaojiazhuang's attention. He should try to retain him and pass the news back to the base camp.

Especially the Kansai man with the cinnabar mark on his face. The boss behind the scenes personally told him to report it as soon as he discovered it without making any mistakes.

And this ferocious-looking man not only had a cinnabar mark, but also had an accent from outside China. He was tall, tall, and ugly, and his characteristics were very consistent. The other party still went to Chaojiazhuang for important matters, but he did not run away.

As you can imagine, the shopkeeper and the waiters are all generous and open-minded, and they take turns asking for drinks. This big man just thinks that the other party is too enthusiastic and refuses anyone who comes.

Until dusk, the men were still eating and drinking, their belts were loosened and loosened, they went to and from the latrine, and beef and wine were served again and again.

The man was so drunk that he walked crookedly and talked nonsense while he was eighty-nine percent drunk. He pulled two empty tables like a drunken maniac. The shopkeeper and waiters were so scared that they didn't dare to provoke him. They watched the man groan and fall on the table.

superior.

The weather was hot, so the man took off his clothes in two or two, leaving only his big underpants. He also made a piece of some rags into a pillow and put it under his neck. After a while, he snored and fell into a deep sleep.

The snoring was like thunder, snoring again and again!

"Shopkeeper, do you want to arrest him?" Du An asked in a low voice.

"No, the superiors only asked us to report as soon as possible. The news has been sent back and people will come soon." The forty-year-old shopkeeper shook his head.

As if in response, a cry came from outside: "Where is the target?"

Immediately afterwards, the curtain door was opened. Mingsaburo Shixiu and a large group of people rushed in.

"Grand Governor, where is he?" The shopkeeper pointed at the big man hurriedly.

Shi Xiu nodded and took the lead to walk towards the big man sleeping on the table. He looked at the naked guy from head to toe at close range and was amazed.

"Well, what a big man, he looks so fierce!"

Although he didn't know who this person was, his brother Chao Gai came to him in person, with a sullen expression on his face, and said that he would tie up the ugly man with the cinnabar mark and catch him, so he understood that there was probably something going on.

"What are you doing standing still? Come on, arrest me!"

Shi Xiu confirmed the cinnabar mark on his face and shouted after him.

Many soldiers suddenly accepted the order, swarmed forward with hemp ropes, and held down the big man with all their hands and feet. Some pressed their heads, some twisted their hands, and some pressed their legs...

"Who are you, drinking? The big man realized something was wrong and woke up. Unfortunately, he was in a daze after drinking too much. He snorted a few times and then became unresponsive. He was left at the mercy of others, and the soldiers tied him up tightly.

Really. Then someone took a large sack and put it under the hood and carried it.

This scene was like catching a rhinoceros! Many of the guys looked at it in amazement.

"Shopkeeper Li, it's none of your business, business as usual!"

Seeing that the arrest went smoothly, Shi Xiu asked someone to bring Han Yi's weapons and packages, waved to the shopkeeper, and then left quickly.

As quickly as it comes, as quickly as it goes!

If the two tables hadn't been put together, it would have been as if it had never happened.

Chao Mansion!

At nightfall, when Chao Gai learned that the target had been captured, he hurriedly left his wife and went to the Juyi Hall. More than ten generals, including Han Shizhong, Guo Sheng, Lu Fang, Shi Xiu, and Su Ding, gathered around a sack to discuss.

When they saw Chao Gai coming, they all saluted and called brother.

"Where is the man?" Chao Gai waved his hand and looked at the sack on the ground. Someone immediately stepped forward to open it and poured out the tied man.

Chao Gai took the torch from the soldier without saying a word and stepped forward to take a photo. A naked man was exposed with black flesh, and two black hairy legs were grabbed underneath, with a pair of bare feet. When he shined the light on the man's face, he saw that he was indeed

There was a cinnabar mark with yellow and black hair, and he suddenly had a complicated expression and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, it's him. Let me wake him up."

There are many ways to do this. Some people prepare white vinegar and hangover soup and drink it down one after another, and then wipe their cheeks with alcohol or pour cold water on them.

"Why are you spending so much effort?" Chao Gai frowned slightly.

Han Shizhong nodded understandingly and went straight up to talk loudly.

"Ah, stop hitting, stop hitting, who are you?" The big man was a little confused at first, and after being hit a few times, he screamed loudly.

"White vinegar sobering up soup is useless, slaps will do the trick!" Han Shizhong shook his palms and laughed strangely.

"Hahaha..." The generals laughed.

The big man looked at the blazing torches and people around him, gradually woke up and shouted: "Who are you? I am a good citizen, why do you arrest me?"

"Red-haired ghost Liu Tang?" Chao Gai said one word to make the other party quiet. Yes, the man arrested in the hotel was the red-haired ghost Liu Tang. In the original trajectory, King Chao Tianwang of Shandong lived a comfortable life like this.

People came to him in confusion to tell them about the birth and birth dates of the tribulation, and then they jumped into the abyss.

Reminiscent of all the weird behaviors of Liang Zhongshu in Hebei, Liu Tang was a bit suspicious. The more Chao Gai thought about it, the more something was wrong, so he naturally had a bad attitude towards this person.

"Liu Tang, whose ancestral home is Dongluzhou, has been wandering around the world since he was a child. He has a hot temper and likes to make friends with good men. He once worked as a private businessman in Shandong and Hebei!"

"Why do you know me and who are you?" Liu Tang looked at Chao Gai in surprise. He looked up and down and saw that he looked majestic and mighty, but he didn't recognize him.

"You came to seek refuge with me, but you don't know me?" Chao Gai said with a half-smile on his face.

"Chao Gai, the Heavenly King of Shandong?" Liu Tang murmured, and then he reacted and struggled and shouted: "Oh, Brother Heavenly King, my younger brother Liu Tang is here to join you."

"I know, so I caught you!" Chao Gai nodded and said in a cold voice: "I also know that you want to give me a fortune and rob the ill-gotten wealth of Liang Taishu of Hebei, the one hundred thousand birthday card, is that right?

no?"

"Ah, brother already knows about it?" Liu Tang's eyes almost popped out of his head. He accidentally learned about this and rushed over thousands of miles away to inform his senior king Chao Tianwang to make a deal. Unexpectedly, the other party already knew about it.

"Liu Tang, do you know that I am a member of the government, and you came here to ask me to do this kind of thing! How many heads do you have? Tell me, who asked you to come?" Chao Gai ignored the other party's surprise and leaned over seriously.

asked: "Don't you know that Chao is the commander-in-chief of Jeju's army?"

"My little brother knows, of course I know!" Liu Tang raised his head and shouted loudly when he heard Chao Gai's question: "But my brother doesn't want to be an official because he was forced to be an official. I, Liu Tang, have only worshiped the King of Heaven in my life. Last year, my birthday was

Jie is the first of its kind. My younger brother accidentally heard the news and immediately came to vote."

"Don't lie to me! If Chao knows your information, he will know more." Chao Gai did not waver at all and looked at the man coldly: "As far as I know, there are only three people who know about this.

How did you, a private businessman, learn of this important news? If I don't tell you that I am ugly today, you will not be able to leave. Of course, if you tell the truth, you will be released immediately. Chao will treat you as a brother."

Han Shizhong, Guo Sheng, Han Yong, Feng Tai and other generals looked unkindly and drew their swords.

"Oh, brother, you really misunderstood me!"

When Liu Tang heard Chao Gai's soul torture, he was stunned as if he were petrified. After he reacted, he fell to his knees on the ground, his voice choked with sobs.

Then he explained in detail how he got the news.

The red-haired ghost Liu Tang returned from selling illegal salt in the northern Liao Kingdom. He was hiding all the way. He happened to find the Hebei army on the road. This guy was bold and not afraid of death. He approached the enemy while they were camping and overheard Qing Mian.

The beast Yang Zhi selected the best and strongest soldiers and escorted the birthday party to Bianliang City.

One hundred thousand gold and jewels!
