Wang Qing killed Zhang Guanying. As soon as he cut off his head, he saw someone coming out. Wang Qing turned around and fanned out all the lights in the hall. He waited at the door and heard a creaking sound. The door was pushed open, and a piece of light leaked in. Under the swaying shadow of the lamp, there was a boy behind him. Wang Qing raised his foot and suddenly kicked Xiaosi who was holding the lamp from the side. Si fell down with the lamp on his body and threw himself on the ground. The lamp was also extinguished.
Before Pang Yuan entered the door, he only said that Zhang Shikai was at the door and kicked Xiaosi over. He said angrily: "Brother-in-law, why did you hit that Xiaosi?" He was about to come forward to persuade him, but he didn't want to be overtaken by Wang Qing. He came forward, grabbed a collar, and stabbed Pang Yuan secretly, hitting his ribs. Pang Yuan screamed like he was killing a pig and fell to the ground. Wang Qing stabbed him several times and grabbed him. Hair, cut off the head with a knife.
Pang heard the menacing shouts outside and asked his maid to light a lamp and come out together to see what was going on. Wang Qing saw a woman come out and saw him. At this time, he became murderous and was about to come forward and kill them together. Seeing that Wang Qing was fierce and covered in blood, Pang cried out loudly. Before Wang Qing ran over with a knife, he saw more than ten personal guards rushing out from behind Pang, all armed with weapons and rushing over in response to the sound of a shot.
When Wang Qing saw that he had alerted the guards in the mansion, he immediately panicked. He chopped down the two men who came up to him, and ran away with desperate killing power. No one dared to stop him. Wang Qing ran all the way. Opening the back door, he crossed over to the back wall of the camp, took off his blood-stained clothes, wiped clean the sharp knife, and hid it beside him. Seeing that no one was chasing after him, he felt a little relieved. When he heard the drums ringing louder, it was already midnight. , Wang Qing took advantage of the silence in the neighborhood, wandered through the alleys, and came to the edge of the city. Xin'an was an earthen city, the city walls were not very high, and the trenches were not very deep. Wang Qing escaped across the city that night.
Not to mention Wang Qingyue City, let's talk about Zhang Shikai's concubine Pangshi. She escaped with two maids, but she was also frightened half to death. Pangshi felt something was wrong, and with the help of others, she went to the hall. She first At the door, he saw his brother Pang Yuan's bloody head on one side and his body on the other side. This frightened both Pang and the maid to turn pale and look at each other, as if they were separating eight yang bones and pouring down half a bucket of ice and snow water, eighteen pills. His teeth chattered in his red lips for a long time, but he could not speak. At that moment, the three Pangzis fell and rolled, and ran in tremblingly. They raised their voices and called their followers inside. The military prisoners on duty outside were holding torches. Sticking to the equipment, everyone went to the back to take care of it. Inside the second door, they saw Zhang Guanying who had been killed again. The boy fell to the ground. He was still breathing and vomiting blood. They saw that there was still hope for rescue. Everyone saw that the back door opened. Everyone thought it was the thief who came from behind. They rushed to the door to look after them. Under the firelight, they saw two pieces of colorful satin, which were thrown to the ground. Everyone said in unison that it was Wang Qing. They quickly checked the prisoners, but Wang Qing was not there.
This incident has been spread, and it immediately caused a sensation in the whole camp, as well as all the neighbors on the left and right. Outside the back wall of the camp, they looked at the blood-stained clothes and carefully identified them. They all belonged to Wang Qing. Everyone discussed it and decided to take advantage of the opportunity. He opened the city gate and reported to the prefecture Yin, who hurriedly sent people to search for him. It was already the fifth watch. The prefecture Yin was shocked when he heard the report. He quickly sent the county lieutenant to check the number of people killed and the whereabouts of the perpetrators. The sergeants who guarded the city were taught to keep an eye on the four gates, and the soldiers were ordered. The arresting officers and the people in the city were waiting in the streets to search for the murderer Wang Qing one by one.
The city gates were closed for two days. They went from house to house and checked one by one. There was no sign of Wang Qing. Zhou Yin seized the documents and appointed officials to take charge of Baodu villages in various local townships. They searched every house and arrested the murderer. , wrote Wang Qing's hometown, year, appearance, appearance, drawings and figures, and offered a reward of 1,000 gu. If someone knew Wang Qing's whereabouts and went to the state to report, he would be rewarded with the article. If someone hid the prisoner at home, he would be rewarded. The deceased, when the incident was reported to the officials, was guilty of the same crime as the criminal, and traveled throughout the neighboring states and counties to arrest him together.
It is said that Wang Qing crossed Xin'an City that night, grabbed his clothes, walked from the shallow part of the city, endured the biting cold, and crossed the water to the other side. He thought in his heart: "Although he escaped with his life, he could not walk the same way in such a package. But where can I go to hide?"
It was the end of winter, and the path could barely be seen under the stars. Wang Qing walked through three or four small roads that night. He was afraid of being arrested by the officers and soldiers, so he hid in a desolate place. After resting for two hours and seeing no officers or soldiers chasing him, he dared to He picked up a road and hurriedly ran until the red sun rose in the east. After walking for about twenty or thirty miles, he unknowingly walked towards the south and saw a densely populated place in front of him. Wang Qing felt hungry and touched it. I still had a lot of money around me, so I took the risk and went there. I bought some wine and food, and then planned my next step. Not long after, I walked to the city. The weather was still early, and the wine and meat shops had not yet opened. There were only Under the eaves of a house facing the east, there was a broken lantern for resting merchants. The house had not put it away last night, but the door was ajar.
Wang Qing had no way to go, so he finally got the courage to come in, but he had to gain something. He gritted his teeth and stepped forward. He pushed open the half door with a "Ah,,," and went in. He saw only one person who had not yet dressed up. At this time, When Wang Qing walked out of the house, he recognized that this person was his maternal aunt's cousin Fan Quan. He had lived with his father in Jiyuan since he was a child, so he used his money to serve as the local jailer. This spring, In mid-March, I went to Tokyo on business and stayed at Wang Qing's house for a few days.
At that moment, Wang Qing felt happy and shouted quickly: "Brother, you're fine."
This sentence made Fan Quan a little confused. He thought to himself: "It seems to be Brother Wang Qing." However, when Fan Quan saw him like this, he had two more lines of gold stamps tattooed on his face. He was doubting, but before he could answer.
Seeing that there was no one around him, Wang Qing knelt down and said, "Brother, save your brother."
Fan Quan hurriedly helped him up and said, "Are you really Wang Qing's brother?"
Wang Qing waved his hand and said: "Shh,,,"
Fan Quan understood, took hold of Wang Qing's sleeves, and pulled him into the guest room. This happened to be the guest room that Fan Quan had just rented last night. Fan Quan quietly asked: "Why do you look like this, brother?" Wang Qing whispered. Fan Quan narrated the incident and how he got into the lawsuit, and then said that Zhang Shikai was so vicious in his revenge, as he had been like this last night. After hearing this, Fan Quan was shocked, and he hesitated and thought for a while, and when he had made up his mind, he I hurriedly cleaned up and ate, calculated the rent and food, and discussed how to teach Wang Qing to pretend to be a follower of the military prison, leave the hotel, and go to Jiyuan City.
Wang Qing asked Fan Quan on the road why he was here, and Fan Quan said: "I was sent here to deliver letters by order of the governor of this place. I just got a letter back yesterday because I stayed here for the night and didn't know that my brother was here. He did something like this again,"
Jiyuan City is not far from Xin'an, separated by a big river, but it belongs to two places. Jiyuan is not under the jurisdiction of Henan Prefecture, but belongs to Mengzhou. Fan Quan and Wang Qing fled to Jiyuan City with Wang Qing at night. Come, Fan Quan thought that the golden seal on Wang Qing's face would definitely be a disaster in the future. Fortunately, when he came to Jiankang, he heard about the name of the "miraculous doctor" An Daoquan. He paid him a lot of money several times before he learned the method of treating the golden seal. Son, I put poison on Wang Qing's face, and then treated it with good medicine. Red scars appeared, and then applied fine powder of gold and jade on it to treat it. After two days, Xin'an City was arrested by Wang Qing, the murderer. The document arrived at Jiyuan City. Fan Quan was sweating a lot and went home to tell Wang Qing: "You will not be able to live in the city. Outside the city, east of Dingshan Fort, I have several thatched houses and more than 20 acres of farmland. I bought it the year before last, and now I am taking care of a few villagers farming there. Brother, you can hide there for a few days before we tell you." Fan Quan waited until dark, led Wang Qing out of the city, and hid in a thatched cottage in the east of Dingshan Fort. Wang Qing was also renamed Li De.
More than ten days later, the news of the Green Forest Army's three defeats against Captain Gao spread throughout the state capital like spring thunder. The arrests by the officials also became anticlimactic, slow and slow. After these few days of recovery, the scars It also wore off, and it was almost invisible. Wang Qing no longer had the golden mark on his face, and he gradually dared to go out and make a living. All the clothes and shoes he wore were donated by Fan Quan, and he lived a happy life. Moisture, the matter of defecting to the Green Forest Army was shelved again. Hearing that Gao Qiu fell into the hands of the Green Forest Army, he felt a little gloating in his heart. If Cai Jing was caught, Wang Qing would be happy to applaud.
Wang Qing was sitting in the thatched cottage, thinking wildly, when he suddenly heard the sound of commotion in the distance. Wang Qing was so lively, so he came out and asked the banker where it was so lively.
Zhuang Ke said: "Master Li, you don't know, more than a mile west of here is the Duanjiazhuang in Dingshan Fort. The Duan brothers paid money to hire a fan from this state to set up a stage and sing and sing various tunes. , that fan is from Xijing, she is both beautiful and artistic, and has attracted crowds of people to see her, why don’t the high-ranking officials come there to have a look," Wang Qing heard this, how could he endure such loneliness, and immediately put on his clothes Yi Shang walked towards Dingshan Fort.
Wang Qing rushed to Dingshan Fort. There were five to six hundred households there, but the stage was on the wheat field to the east of the Fort. At that time, the pink-headed actors had not yet come on stage. There were thirty or forty tables on all sides of the stage, and people were crowding around them. There is more than one way to play dice and gamble there: Liu Feng'er, Wumozi, Huo Liao Mao, Zhu Wo'er, etc. There are also money gamblers squatting on the ground, a total of twenty The rest of the group of people, those who gambled with money, were shouting and shouting, and those who spent money were shouting and yelling, laughing and scolding, pushing and shouting, and the losers were stripping off their clothes and going to check it out. Originally, he was a loser after all, but the winner was high-spirited and swayed here and there, but in the end he didn't win much. Not to mention the gambling situation, there were also some village girls and peasant women who lost their hoeing wheat and left their vegetables behind. They stood in groups of twos and threes, with faces as black as mud and yellow teeth exposed, waiting for the pink head to come out, wanting to see how she could do this even though she was raised by her parents. It was so beautiful and moving that not only people from nearby villages, but also people from the city came over to see it, trampling more than ten acres of the green wheat field.
