The arrival of Liu Lin and more than fifty soldiers broke the tranquility of Xiaojiaji. There were also officers and soldiers scolding the tenants and villagers in Xiaojiaji, as well as Shi Cheng and other merchants who were still living in Xiaojiaji selling sheep and horses.
: "You all understand! The Xiao Family, the Xiao Mansion, and Xiao Tang colluded with the thieves and committed a heinous crime. We are sent here by the Daming Mansion to arrest the thieves. There must be no chaos among unrelated people, otherwise we will be taken back to the Yamen for interrogation!"
"
Shi Cheng and other sheep and horse traders were so frightened that they kept saying yes, and after being interrogated, they were returned to the inn. Shi Cheng's nephew frowned and thought, and said: "Uncle, I see that the young master of the Xiao family is a kind man, and he doesn't look like a murderous bandit.
.”
After hearing this, Shi Cheng quickly said to his nephew, half consoling and half scolding: "So what if you don't look like it? Who will listen to you now when the official is handling the case? You must put away your arrogant temper and provoke us to the government.
These small businessmen and ordinary people cannot afford to suffer! Alas, if Xiao Shaodong’s family has really never done anything bad, and the good people have their own destiny, how can you, a yellow-tongued brat, interfere? "
"A lucky person has his own destiny? Hehe..." Shi Cheng's nephew sneered, and then said to his uncle: "Uncle, please be at ease. I know what I am worth, so how can I do something so messy that it will involve us?"
Shi Cheng felt relieved after hearing what his nephew said, and hurried back to his room to continue sleeping. His nephew went back to his room, thought for a while, and quietly got up and went out while all the sheep and horse traders who were traveling with him fell asleep.
After entering the guest room, he ran away when he saw that there were no officers and soldiers guarding him around, and dived into the dark night.
Shi Cheng's nephew sneaked into the front yard of Xiao Mansion in the dark and looked around. Suddenly he heard someone talking on the other side of the wall. He listened carefully and heard someone say: "Xiao An, Xiao An, you are so powerful in the hands of the young master.
Even if I, the general manager, don’t even notice it, how could I have expected that it would happen today?”
Xiao An? Isn't he the hateful-looking helper in front of the young master of the Xiao family? Shi Cheng's nephew listened more carefully.
Just listen to Xiao An say: "Mr. Lei, Mr. Lei, although the young master and Mr. Lei have been at odds recently, and although the young master is under the young master's control, how can he dare to offend Mr. Lei's power? But the young master is in our Xiao family.
How could he do that beheading thing if he had no hatred and no disaster? There must be some misunderstanding about this matter. There is a saying that there are intact eggs under the nest, and Mr. Lei is also in our Xiao family. This matter
I still need to make it clear to the official!"
The man called Mr. Lei snorted coldly: "Xiao Mansion? Do Mr. Xiao and Xiao Tang, that yellow-tongued boy, really regard me as a member of the Xiao Mansion? I might as well tell you that Xiao Tang should not do anything.
You shouldn’t offend Mr. Li from the Tongpan family in Daming Mansion!
So what if he was wrongly accused? You think he has changed his mind these days, but in fact he is still as reckless as before. But thanks to him, from now on, the Xiao family will have the surname
Thunder!"
"What? You, you..." Xiao An was dumbfounded and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"What else do you want to say?" Lei Ben said in a dark voice: "The Xiao family tree is about to fall, and I need you. I know that you are aware of current affairs. Whether you die with the Xiao family or be my helper, it doesn't matter.
Let’s see if you recognize this compliment!”
After a moment of silence, Xiao Anna said calmly: "Everything depends on Manager Lei..."
"Bah! Dog thieves! Dog slaves!" After Shi Cheng's nephew secretly listened to the conversation between the two, he spat and cursed secretly. After getting a rough idea of the future, he slipped into the dark night like a cat...
...
Half an hour later.
Xiao Tang was tied up by Wu Huada and imprisoned in a house. There were several officers and soldiers guarding the house. He knew that after the officers and soldiers led their troops to Qh County to capture Wu Song, they would be escorted to Daming Mansion together, and they
What they will face will be a trial that completely confuses right and wrong and will put them to death.
Xiao Tang did not expect that Li Shaohua's methods would come so quickly and be so vicious. He also did not expect that Lei Ben had always been related to the Nine-Headed Insect's men and would stab the Xiao family behind the back at this juncture.
One knife!
Since Li Shaohua, the nine-headed worm, was so quick to prepare evidence against Xiao Tang, Wu Song and others, then the poor Su Jinniang who was detained in Zongcheng County must have also fallen into the clutches of the devil, right? Xiao Tang felt powerless in his heart.
Gradually spreading, justice, humanity, goodness, these beautiful things in the world have no value and effect in front of the powerful people who cover the sky with one hand. Perhaps it is just like what Zhao Shen, the head of Zongcheng County, said to him: "This sky is without eyes."
of!"
It seems that the wonderful life of traveling to the Song Dynasty is coming to an end. Xiao Tang's heart gradually becomes cold. How will the gathering of the Xiao family and Father Xiao be implicated? Thinking of this, Xiao Tang can't help but feel very sad.
Guilt.
At this moment, Xiao Tang suddenly heard two muffled groans outside the door. After a while, the door creaked open, and two people rushed in from the door. When Xiao Tang saw them, his heart was filled with haze again.
A ray of hope shot through.
Because the two people who came were none other than Xiao Yi, the green falcon son of Xiao Tang, and Xue Yong, a sick man with a gun and a stick in the village.
Xiao Yi rushed to Xiao Tang, and while anxious to untie Xiao Tang, he said in a hurry: "Master! Fortunately, we escaped. This time we were framed by the dog officer and had no choice but to escape."
Xiao Tang said happily: "Xiao Yi! Master Xue, how did you two escape from the guarding officers and soldiers?"
Xue Yong replied: "Xiao Yi and I brought down the three guarding officers and soldiers. Fortunately, the others were not shocked and were able to see the young master. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers were not wary of Xiao An and allowed him to save me and me."
Xiao Yi is out of trouble."
Speaking of this, Xiao Tang saw Xiao An walking in from the door. Xiao An also said anxiously when he saw Xiao Tang: "Master, that old thief Lei Ben was coaxed by me and is now talking to Mr. Xiao in the house. I will
Take this opportunity to release Xiao Yi and Master Xue, and you should leave quickly! Otherwise, when the escort officer escorts Wu Song and the officers and soldiers arrive again, there will be no chance to escape!"
Xiao Tang looked at Xiao An, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, because he knew Xiao An's character. Xiao An flattered Xiao Tang all day long, and was no different from the lackeys raised by ordinary dandy landlords. That's because Xiao Tang is
He is the master of the Xiao family, but the Xiao family is currently facing a catastrophe. With Xiao An's naughty temperament, Xiao Tang would not be surprised if he immediately switches to Lei Ben.
Xiao An looked at Xiao Tang's expression, he smiled miserably, and said harshly: "Master, I know that you, Master Wu, Xiao Yi, and Master Xue all look down on me, and even Lei Ben, that old pig, thinks that because of him
With some coercion and inducement, he can make me become his lackey.
I also know what kind of character I am, but even if I am lazy and fearful, I can still write the word "loyalty". Although the young master has scolded me these days, I know what is good and what is good, and understand that the young master regards me as a good person.
We are one of our own, how can I be as treacherous as a pig or a dog? Master, you, Xiao Yi and Master Xue should run away quickly! The old thief named Lei thinks that I have sincerely surrendered to him, so I will take care of the affairs of the master and the house.
"
Xiao Tang's cold heart suddenly seemed to be infused with warmth. After being released by Xiao Yi, he patted Xiao An's shoulder with gratitude and said, "Good brother, I have underestimated you in the past."
Xiao An and Xiao Tang looked at each other, and he also smiled with appreciation. There was no such thing as the sharp-tongued, hypocritical face of the past. Whether in the Song Dynasty or in modern times, there are always many people who pat their chests and praise their brothers, loyalty, etc.
The words are shouted loudly, but at critical moments many so-called brothers fail to fulfill their promises and will even stab you in the back; there are also some people who let you down because of personality differences, minor problems, etc.
Although I keep in touch with them, I silently place myself at the peak of morality and look down at each other, so as to gain some sense of superiority. When I am down, I will be pleasantly surprised that some friends I would "look down on" in my heart will
Let me lend you a helping hand at this time.
Fortunately for Xiao Tang, Xiao An happens to belong to the latter type of person.
But when Xiao Tang, Xiao Yi, Xiao An, and Xue Yong walked out of the room and were about to find a way to escape from the Xiao Mansion, their hearts froze again because they saw the blood-eating jackal under the Nine-Headed Insect not far away.
Liu Lin is walking this way and has already seen them!
It turned out that Liu Lin originally planned to wait for the escort officer to lead his troops to Qh County to arrest Wu Song, and then escort Xiao Tang, Wu Song and others to Daming Mansion to ask for merit, but the journey from Xiaojiaji in Zongcheng County to Kongsongzhuang in Qh County also took time.
Some time ago, out of boredom, he thought of Xiao Tang coming here to humiliate the blind thing again, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked over, he found that Xiao Tang had been released.
Liu Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around to run away. He planned to shout at the top of his lungs to call the other officers and soldiers who were staying behind, but when Liu Lin was about to turn around and call for help, Xiao Tang and others were still far away from him and could not stop him.
.If he attracts the army, then Xiao Tang, Xiao Yi and others will have no chance to escape!
When Liu Lin just turned around, he almost bumped into a young man. The young man said "Ouch" and looked extremely panicked. This young man Liu Lin met seemed to be one of the sheep and horse traders passing by Xiaojiaji. He cursed
Said: "Go away! Someone come quickly... uh!"
But when Liu Lin just shouted, the young man's eyes suddenly burst out with a fierce light that was inconsistent with his age! He kicked Liu Lin on the knee, and when he was half-kneeling, he covered Liu Lin's mouth with one hand and took out the knife with the other.
He pulled out a wrist-cutting knife and stabbed Liu Lin hard in the waist!
Liu Lin's whole body twitched violently. Even if he knew some skills, things happened so suddenly. Who would have thought that such a half-year-old boy would be so vicious!
The young man's hands were not idle yet, one knife, two knife, three knife... covering Liu Lin's heart, waist, and throat "Puff!", "Puff!", "Puff!" Another chaotic stabbing!
Seeing such a terrifying scene, Xiao An almost screamed. Xiao Tang quickly covered Xiao An's mouth, and he was also shocked by the sudden change in front of him!
Liu Lin's eyes protruded like dead fish, and his body twitched with the sharp knife that the young man thrust in. The young man saw that Liu Lin was dead, so he stopped, and Liu Lin was like a strip.
The dead dog fell to the ground with a plop, and blood couldn't stop flowing in all directions.
The young man's face was covered with blood. He reached out and wiped his hands randomly on Liu Lin's body. He stood up and said to Xiao Tang: "Master Xiao, my surname is Shi Mingxiu. I owe you to the young master to take care of my uncle. I have nothing to repay.
Seeing that the young master was framed by a dog officer and suffered unjust injustice. Seeing that Young Master Xiao and others were captured by this dog officer, I originally wanted to find an opportunity to help Young Master Xiao and others get out of trouble, but now all I can do is kill this bird man.
, help Master Xiao escape early."
Tianhuixing Shi Xiu! Liang Shanbo is ranked 33rd, a desperate Saburo known for his courage and cruelty!!
In the original work of "Water Margin", Shi Xiu followed his uncle to sell sheep and horses in the north. After his uncle died of illness, he wandered in the rivers and lakes. Later, he met Yang Xiong and committed a murder case. They all voted for Liangshan.
In a series of events that followed, Shi Xiu's deep loyalty, courage, execution and decisiveness, wisdom and courage were vividly displayed. Among his most distinctive personality traits was his sensitivity and extremeness. Cruel and ruthless!
When Shi Xiu rescued Yang Xiong from the siege, he was "kicked to death" by Zhang Bao, who scolded him as "a beggar who won't die of hunger and cold without being killed". He was immediately triggered and beat everyone to hide. When I came, I stopped after being stopped by Dai Zong and Yang Linsheng.
After becoming brothers with Yang Xiong, Yang Xiong handed over the business of the butcher shop to Shi Xiu. One day, when he saw that the butcher shop had taken away all the anvils and was not open for business, he mistakenly thought that others would not see him, so he settled the accounts. After taking the package, he left.
After Pan Qiaoyun instigated his relationship with Yang Xiong, he left without making a sound, but secretly and swiftly killed Pan Qiaoyun's concubine Pei Ruhai and his subordinate Toutuo. Even the government could not find out the reason for his method!
Xiao Tang naturally knew what kind of person Shi Xiu would be when he became an adult, but he really didn't expect that a half-year-old boy would already be so vicious and decisive!
Xiao Tang clenched his fist at Shi Xiu and said, "Thankfully, Brother Shi took action. Otherwise, if this guy warned us, we would be stuck here again."
Shi Xiu agreed, and then said: "Master Xiao, now is not the time to talk. Just go. If we are destined to meet each other someday, you and I will meet in the world."
When Xiao Tang thanked him and was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said to Shi Xiu: "Brother Shi took lives on his hands for us. What will happen to Brother Shi if the government investigates him?"
Shi Xiu bared his teeth in a smile, revealing his white teeth on his blood-stained face, and said: "Master Xiao, don't worry about me. When Master Xiao and others escape, the officer will only count the birdman's death as his crime." Who could have guessed that this was done by a mediocre and ordinary young man like me?"
Seeing Xiao Tang and others walking far away, Shi Xiu crouched down and looked around. He took off his coat and wrapped the wrist-tip knife together, quietly touched it out from the back wall of Xiao's residence, and washed his face in the back mountain. He buried the sharp knife in his coat in a secret place, finally went back to the inn room, and lay on the bed with the sheep and horse dealer who snored loudly. He acted carefully and alertly throughout the whole process, and no outsider noticed.
.............................
When Xiao Tang and others were looking for a way to escape, Xiao Yi thought of Shi Xiu's behavior and couldn't help but sigh: "That boy just now was so cruel and vicious at such an age. He is also a subtle person. When he grows up, it will be a difficult time for him." Someone to mess with!"
Xiao Tang couldn't help but nodded secretly. He didn't expect that a moment of kindness that day would lead to another young Liangshan hero. Thinking of Wu Song, Shi Xiu, Xue Yong and other heroes who would become famous in Liangshan in the future, and thinking that he was now being In the situation of being framed by powerful people, a thought suddenly popped into his mind:
