Chapter 43: Falling Down the Mountain, Deceitful Officials
In the last chapter of the book, it was written that Dugu Ruyuan fell to the ground with his horse and man. Delehmo was about to laugh from behind. His equestrian skills were well-known when he saw several soldiers coming up and holding down Dugu Ruyuan who was still on the ground.
He turned around and hit three people. Just as he was about to jump away, he saw a big net coming over him. He couldn't escape. He was trapped in the net. No matter how powerful you were, he couldn't escape. A few guards came up and held him down.
Delemer was about to cross his spear and rush to rescue him, but Dugu shouted: "Don't come here! It's dangerous!" He saw Delemer also fell to the ground, including men and horses, and then another big net was wrapped around him.
When they got up, the two brothers were gagged, put into sacks and placed on horseback. They were escorted by more than 20 officers, and they quietly walked around the mountain road towards the county seat.
After walking for a long time, they gradually got further away from Crouching Tiger Mountain. These policemen waited all night. They were afraid of missing the two of them all night, and they almost didn't sleep. Finally, the hard work paid off and they were caught. The original plan was to wait a little longer.
, canceled a wine flag fluttering not far away, and the aroma of wine brought by the breeze aroused the greed of all the officers. Some people suggested that they have some food to have more strength to escort the prisoners. Everyone thought it was reasonable.
Everyone gathered around three tables and sat down. When the store owner saw that they were servants, he didn't want to entertain them, but he was afraid of getting into trouble, so he just shouted and asked what dishes they wanted. Everyone ordered randomly. The store owner picked up what he had on every table in the store.
After six dishes were served, the servants ordered a few jars of wine. After opening the jars, they drank, wiped their mouths, and left. The storekeeper came to stop him and asked for money. The servant pointed behind him, indicating that he wanted to ask for it. The storekeeper ran over and said, "Master Chai."
, the profit in this small shop is small, just look at..." The guard said: "Just remember it first! I'll give it to you later!" He said in a bureaucratic tone and was about to go out to the few guards outside.
And come back, it's so hot. Who wants to show up in such hot weather?
Everyone looked at the sun-scorched earth outside. The sorghum leaves were rustling and they had lost their morning energy. One of the guards said, "Look, it's so hot and we're so far away from Crouching Tiger Mountain. It's better to stay here."
We'll leave soon!" The shopkeeper felt even more bitter after hearing this. He had already bought some food and wine, and now that they stay, wouldn't they have to drink more wine! Thinking of this, he quietly sneaked into the inner room and asked his wife to
Gently move the wine into the cellar
A police officer suddenly said: "Brothers, go and have a look, don't suffocate them to death!" This sentence attracted the attention of a man on the road. He just felt that there was something in the sack on the horse's back, and he was itching in his heart and wanted to know.
Now he had a chance to see what was in the bag. The moment the guards opened the mouth of the sack, he could see it clearly. He was shocked when he saw that there were two people in the bag, and they were the ones he knew and had been looking for all the way.
Two people
He quickly pretended not to notice, took a sip of wine, and cursed in a drunken manner: "I know that Wang Xiaoqi is a coward who is afraid of his wife. He agreed to come here to fight and drink, but he was locked up by the tigress.
At home, when it’s so hot, how can we still farm in bed?” Everyone heard a drunk man cursing, who would have picked up the curse, and listened to his apt metaphor. Thinking of that incident, they never got tired of hearing drunk men scolding drunk men.
Yes, they just rested aside
"Haha, yes, if you don't want to drink with me, I'll find someone to drink with." As he said this, he stood up and a piece of silver fell to the ground with a clanking sound, making a crisp sound. This time, the greedy officers heard it very clearly, and they all moved towards him in unison.
There was a big silver coin on the ground, shining brightly in each of their hearts.
The man picked up the money on the ground and put it on the table. He shouted: "Gentlemen, please come over and have a glass of wine with me." Several servants saw that there were plenty of food and wine on his table. Just now, a few of his own people gathered around a table.
The table had only eaten six side dishes that were both unclear and bland. They couldn't control their legs and everyone gathered around!
"Oh, Mr. Cha, let me tell you, that bastard's brother Wang Xiaoqi, if he saw the masters coming over to drink today, he would be so angry!" The man continued to talk nonsense, and then said: "I said, you masters, all the masters.
, the table in this store is too small to accommodate so many of you, I think so! I’m going to put the twenty taels of silver on the table! You don’t want to hurt your friendship, how about we compete in an arm-wrestling competition,
Whoever wins gets the silver, and whoever loses drinks it!" Everyone was more interested in the twenty taels of silver than in drinking. They knew that this was their annual salary, and now they only had to show their hands to get it. If not
This drunk man was drunk. How could there be such a good opportunity? Everyone rushed to take off their shirts and show off their muscles to compare with their companions. The store saw that this relationship is good, and I don’t need to drink anymore.
Everyone gathered around the table and all their attention was focused on the two guys wrestling with each other at the table. Everyone was shouting and cheering. The man had already slipped out. No one cares where he goes, as long as the money is there, that's fine.
He quickly ran to the inner room and told his wife that there was no need to bring the wine. The wife of the store muttered: "The plan can't change quickly!" The two of them peeked at the scene outside.
The man quietly slipped next to the horse and pulled down two sacks. He cut the sacks with a dagger and untied the ropes from their hands. Dugu got on the horse as he wished. Delamo was going to teach the officer a lesson, but the waves of dizziness in front of him made him give up.
Going against their original plan, the three of them took three horses and slipped away quietly. Dugu Ruyuan and Delermo regained their freedom. The three of them ran far away together and ran into a dense forest.
They were not afraid of the large number of soldiers, but because the two of them were trapped in a sack and placed on horseback to be baked by the sun. Their whole bodies were sore and weak but they were weak. Moreover, they were outnumbered and it seemed that the two of them had rescued them just a few days ago.
Shi Ning and Shi Ning, who had helped each other, thanked Shi Ning and said: "We are all brothers in the four seas, so it's no big deal! Ordinarily I should thank you more." The two of them did not understand the meaning of his words, and Delemo said: "Don't always be like this
Put that little money where your mouth is!" Shi Ning smiled and shook his head.
So he followed his grandfather Feng's instructions a few years ago and sent a clan girl back to Jiankang to get married. Unexpectedly, when he went to a town near Taigu, he got greedy for a while and mistakenly thought that Huang Deren was a good guy. He drugged him and made him unconscious.
As a result, the clan girl was snatched away by Huang Deren. The clan girl who returned after being insulted by Huang Deren did not allow her family to say anything to Shi Ning who woke up from drinking and walked to a lake. No one noticed for a moment that Miss Shi committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake.
What a pity for a flower, it withered before it bloomed. Later, in order to commemorate this fierce woman, people built an ancestral hall by the lake. It was revered by future generations. After nearly a hundred years, a flood washed away the ancestral hall and left no trace of the old man.
They all say that they were moved to the sky by the Heavenly Court. This is a later story.
The family then told Shi Ning the reason why the young lady jumped into the lake. Shi Ning refused to listen. When he heard this, he was so angry that he left his family and came to ask for help. They waited for a whole day in front of Huang Deren's house and finally waited for him.
Having learned a lot from Huang Deren and having many minions, Shi Ning was finally outnumbered and was almost beaten to death by them. Fortunately, his family arrived in time and saved his life.
Shi Ning recovered from his injuries and never forgot about this. He could not forget that a good girl committed suicide by throwing herself into a lake for her reputation; nor could he forget that the Huang family's servant dog almost lost his life due to the power of others. These things were in his heart
The lingering haze, this time I came here to seek revenge on him
Who would have expected that someone would be the first to get there and get rid of the villain. Shi Ning read the wanted documents from the government and found out that the person who killed the villain Huang Deren was the one who rescued him yesterday. His family then came to look for him, and Shi Ning only had to pay some money.
, he sent them back. He went all the way south to inquire about the whereabouts of Dugu Ruyuan and the two of them. Everyone thought that he was a member of the government, and because Dugu Ruyuan killed the villain in their hearts, everyone wanted to protect him. No one said that they had never seen him before.
We met the two of them while having dinner in the hotel. It was a coincidence that Shi Ning saved Dugu and Ruyi in this way.
Dugu got out of danger as he wished, not to mention that the other guards lost the game first, but there was also a man who was anxious when he came out and looked at the empty sack under the horse, and became "all anxious" and shouted "No, no, no, prisoner"
Run away!" Everyone ran out quickly. The last servant did not forget to put the money in his arms. When he ran out, everyone was dumbfounded. The water in the bamboo basket was empty. They ran away. After thinking about it, they remembered that they were drunk.
Man, but his figure has long since disappeared. An older police officer gathered the crowd and said: "The prisoner has been taken from us. How will the county magistrate and Jiang Dutou answer if they ask? I'm afraid you and I will lose our jobs."
It's smashed! We have to think about what to do?" As soon as the officers heard the fear, one of them turned his head quickly and said: "When we go back to Crouching Tiger Mountain, when Jiang Dutou asked, we said we didn't see it at all." Everyone
After thinking about it, this is the only way I can deny the past.
Everyone returned to the distance and continued to wait for another night. Jiang Dutou came to ask about the situation. Everyone said that no one was going down the mountain. Someone reminded: "Will they go down the mountain somewhere else?" Jiang Dutou scolded several people.
Once again, he warned them to stay safe and if the prisoner was released, some of their good-looking people said so, but they still took more than ten people with them to secretly search if there were other places to go out! There were also a few suspicious spots, but Jiang Du couldn't find them.
It's still a lucky break, but he has principles and can't fight with bandits.
