After the village Baozheng handed over the land deeds that day, the next day, the wolf-like government officials began to check the fields of each village. Farmers from several villages had conflicts with the government officials because of protecting the land. All the county soldiers were dispatched to arrest Shang.
It took hundreds of troublemaking men to frighten the people in each village.
Because Chao Gai had no intention of resisting in Dongxi Village, the development of the fields was very fast, and the village soon returned to peace. However, the owner of the land changed, and the villagers still lived a life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
Chao Gai, the head of the village, did not close his doors to welcome guests just because he lost his land, so men from all walks of life came to join him from time to time.
When the sun was about to set, three fast horses appeared at the entrance of the village and stopped in front of Chao Gaizhuang.
A closer look revealed that it was the young village owner Chao Yong, the village owner Chao San, and a strange man.
The doorman heard the sound of horse hooves and had already come out to check. Seeing that the young owner of the village was returning, he hurried forward to greet him.
Chao Yong handed the horse to Chao San and asked, "Is my father here?"
"The owner of the farm and a few guests are drinking in the back garden."
After hearing this, Chao Yong guessed who they were, and took Shi Qian to the back garden. As expected, he saw Chao Gai and three others drinking wine under the grape trellis. One of them, Wu Yong and Wu Xuexue, was known to Chao Yong, and the other two
The people are easy to recognize. One is wearing Taoist robes, the other is red haired, and there is a cinnabar mark on the temples. They are obviously the Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng and the red-haired ghost Liu Tang.
When Chao Gai saw Chao Yong coming back with a lean man, he stood up and said, "Yong'er is back. Who is this hero?"
When Shi Qian saw Chao Gai getting up, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Shi Qian in Gaotang Prefecture has met King Chao Tian."
Chao Yong added: "Shi Qian is good at flying over eaves and walking on walls. He is known as the flea on the drum. He met him in Qizhou."
When Chao Gai heard that Shi Qianshan was flying over the eaves and walking over the wall, he immediately frowned, clasped his fists and said "Jiu Yang", and then said to Chao Yong: "I came here to meet three uncles. Professor Wu, you know that this is Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng.
This is the red-haired ghost Liu Tang."
This was what Chao Yong was most reluctant to do. The heroes Chao Gai had made friends with were all his generation older. Liu Tang was only twenty-four or five years old. In his heart, he wanted to treat him as a brother, but it was a pity that his father got to know Liu Tang first. Fortunately
He, the three heroes of the Ruan family, and Lin Chong are all called brothers. When they go to Liangshan, they can find opportunities to change their titles, otherwise they will be uncles all over the mountain.
Chao Yong stepped forward and bowed: "My nephew Chao Yong has met three uncles."
"We haven't seen each other for a few months, and Brother Yong has already earned the reputation of being a little bully. Even if Xiaosheng stays in the countryside, he has already heard of the reputation of a little bully." Wu Yong and Chao Yong, who are acquaintances, joked.
"Sir, you are joking. Chao Yong is just a newbie."
Wu Yong shook his fan, stared at Chao Yong and said, "Brother Yong is a clever trick in scattering gifts. He won such a big name without spending any money. It's a good way to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha."
Gongsun Sheng also looked at Chao Yong curiously, shook his head and said: "Easier said than done. Jiang Menshen has been ranked first for two years in a row. He obviously has some tricks. Not many can beat him in sumo wrestling. Even those many
In terms of money and goods, who can be like Brother Yong who doesn’t take any money?”
Chao Yong also looked curiously at Gongsun Sheng, who was said to be able to call the wind and rain in the Water Margin, and said: "They are just some external things, not worth mentioning. However, my nephew has often heard people say that the Taoist priest can call the wind and rain, and ride the clouds and mist in the rivers and lakes. I don't know.
When will my nephew have his eyes opened?"
Gongsun Sheng laughed "haha" and said: "There is no such thing as calling the wind and rain in this world. A poor man can only guess the changes in the weather, add some alchemy skills, and occasionally fool some corrupt officials and evil gentry. If there is no cloud in the sky.
, who dares to call for rain."
Chao Yong felt relieved after hearing this.
If there really are those monsters in the world who spread the beans and become soldiers, then no matter how perverted his body is, he can't stand up to other people's magic, so there is no need to worry about going to the mountains to learn some Taoism, and then destroying the golden soldiers will only be a matter of blowing a few breaths.
However, in ancient times when there were no scientific instruments to observe weather changes, Gongsun Sheng's ability was considered very remarkable and had many uses in marching and fighting.
Wu Yongdao: "Xiaosheng has one more thing, I need Brother Yong to clear it up."
"Sir, he is full of knowledge and resourcefulness. How can Chao Yong solve his doubts?"
"You are just a scholar, how can you dare to say that you are full of knowledge? When I went to Shijie Village before, I heard the three heroes of the Ruan family talking about you saying that after three months, the three heroes of the Ruan family will not be oppressed by the court, but I don't know what you mean?"
Wu Yong has stayed in Dongxi Village for several years, and is naturally very familiar with Chao Yong. If it had been before, Chao Yong would have asked directly about something, and he would definitely not be so humble.
On that day, a meteor fell and Chao Gaizhuang caught fire, and he also came to visit.
Later, I heard that Chao Yong had changed a lot since the fire. At first, he thought it was just a fright, but when he saw it today, he realized otherwise. But what caused the originally rough Chao Yong to change so much? Wu Yong, who is known as a wise man, also
He couldn't see through it. He didn't believe in Xingjun's theory of reincarnation.
Chao Yong also thought about pretending to be the reincarnation of Xingjun to win people's hearts, but he has no special functions, and the plot in Water Margin is also afraid of being unreliable. If he tells it, it will make people suspicious. It is better to take a step back and remain mysterious, and let them contact the shooting star to speculate, and said with a smile
: "I saw that the three men of the Ruan family are highly skilled in martial arts and have a straightforward temper. If the Gongtian Institute cuts off their jobs, they will not be able to endure it for more than three months, and at least they will have to become enemies with the imperial court."
Wu Yong looked at Chao Yong suspiciously, but this barely made sense, and nodded: "I see."
Chao Gai interjected: "Let me tell you, if there hadn't been a sudden peasant uprising in Hebei, Birthday Gang would not have left Jingdong. How could he know about Birthday Gang? Sir, you are worrying too much."
When Chao Yong saw Chao Gai's words, he pretended to be surprised and said: "The whole way I came back, I was hunted down by officials. Could it be that my father did the birthday issue?"
Seeing Chao Gai look at Shi Qian, he said: "He is my close brother, but dad said it's okay."
When Shi Qian heard this, he felt that he was with the right person.
Chao Gai then said with a somewhat proud smile: "Thanks to Xuexue's ingenious plan, we easily robbed the birthday card."
Chao Yong naturally knew that they would not be relaxed soon, so he asked anxiously: "Dad is going too?"
Chao Gai didn't think there was anything wrong yet, so he smiled and said: "Well, dad, your three uncles and the three men of the Ruan family who you have made friends with did this together."
When Chao Yong saw Chao Gai's admission, his face became even more panicked, and he shouted: "Something is going wrong. Dad is generous and generous. There is no village a hundred miles away where no idle man comes to visit the village. Dad can't remember them, but they all know them."
Daddy. I’m afraid someone might have recognized daddy on the road, but daddy doesn’t know. In a few days, the court will definitely find out about the village."
When Chao Gai heard Chao Yong's words, he couldn't help being shocked and quickly looked at Zhiduoxing Wu Yong.
Wu Yong also thought that what he did was flawless. Hearing what Chao Yong said, he felt a little uneasy. He also stopped holding the fan in his hand and said: "I also know that there are many people who know Baozheng from far and near.
I have tried my best to avoid Bao Zheng's public appearance all the way, but now that I think about it, I inevitably made some mistakes. If someone really recognized Bao Zheng, Bao Buqi would have reported him in order to get money from the government, but he was careless."
Gongsun Sheng and Liu Tang could not sit still at this time.
Chao Yong saw that several people were also panicked, and then said: "It's not necessarily true that someone will recognize my father. Sir, please tell me how you solved the birthday plan. Let me see if there are any flaws?"
At that time, Wu Yong invited Liu Tang to surrender, and he also invited the three heroes of the Ruan family. Later, Gongsun Sheng came to visit. They and Bai Sheng sang in Huangnigang and defeated Yang Zhi's group with wine and sesame. They took the birthday card in detail.
I told Chao Yong again.
This section of the Water Margin is called "Capturing the Birthday Plan Out of Wisdom", and it was once a text for later generations. Chao Yong was naturally familiar with it, and he had thought about its mechanism many times.
Chao Yong pretended to listen carefully, thought for a while, frowned and said: "There is another flaw in this matter, which is Bai Sheng's place. Now it has been spread everywhere that Yang Zhi and the others were cheated by Bai Sheng.
The Anle Village where I live is very close to Huangnigang. Officials will definitely go to check on him. How could no one see him carrying wine when he leaves the village? What you are robbing is Cai Jing's birth date. The state officials will definitely press hard. As long as there is some suspicion
, the officials will definitely arrest him. I’m afraid Bai Sheng is already in jail at this time.”
When Liu Tang heard this, he shouted: "At the beginning, I said that I would kill those soldiers to silence them, but I just wanted to protect my integrity and not let him do it. But now many things have happened."
Chao Gai also regretted and said: "Those soldiers were just following orders, and they didn't do anything evil. I saw that we had already obtained the birthday plan, so there was no need to destroy their lives. I didn't expect to leave these flaws."
Wu Yong was confused by Li Ling. Wu Yong was also fascinated by the many gold and silver jewels at that time. He did not expect that there were so many, so he followed Chao Gai. Afterwards, he saw that no one came to arrest him, and he felt even more proud. At this time, after listening to Chao Yong's analysis, he also knew this
Things are broken.
"In my opinion, dad sent someone to Anle Village overnight to quietly check whether Bai Sheng has been arrested. If he is caught, we can prepare early. If Bai Sheng is caught, I am afraid that the official will ambush him at his house. Dad sent
Two people go together, one enters the village, and the other waits outside the village. If he doesn't come out after the time, he will probably be arrested, and the people outside the village will come back immediately to report the news."
Seeing Chao Yong's thoughtful arrangement, Wu Yong sighed: "Brother Yong is the real wise man. He thinks carefully. I am ashamed of myself."
When Chao Gai saw that Wu Yong also agreed with Chao Yong's arrangement, he immediately called two of his confidants and gave detailed instructions, asking them to ride horses overnight to Anle Village to investigate.
Chao Yong only knew these two flaws after watching Water Margin, and he did not dare to underestimate Wu Yong's wisdom. In front of that golden mountain and silver sea, few people can think carefully. However, for his plan, he deliberately avoided the birth plan of the robbery.
The time was right for Chao Gai to go up the mountain and raise the banner of justice for heaven, while at the same time sparing Song Jiang the opportunity to show mercy.
