While Ma Ling was stunned, Qiao Daoqing quickly stood up and grabbed Sun An, saying, "Let me make it clear, brother Sun An, why are you doing this?"
Sun An broke away from Qiao Daoqing, pointed his halberd at Ma Ling, and scolded fiercely: "You and I have no friendship at all, but brother Daoqing regards you as one of our own, and I, Sun An, can stand up for you." I had heard about that guy Xiao Tang, and I often thought of him as a good man, but he turned out to be a drunkard and a womanizer who secretly did evil things! So even if I punished that guy and created a problem with him, I was not afraid of him. !
Although Xiao Tang is despicable, and I don’t know the details of why he sent Jinniang away from him thousands of miles away, I also know that he wants to marry the woman who is a poor person whose whole family has been victimized by traitors. You are in a relationship with that Xiao Tang What's the difference between you and Xiao Tang? If you can't argue, you go find a woman to show off. What's your ability?!
I, Sun An, am an upright man, but I am ashamed to do such a dirty deed, which has tarnished my reputation!"
Ma Ling was so embarrassed by Sun An's scolding that his face turned red and he stood up suddenly and said: "Brother Sun An, you are so underestimating me! I, Ma Ling, am also a shameless and moral man. But that Xiao Tangquan The situation is strong, tell me how to win over him!?
I just want to catch that woman and lure that fellow Xiao Tang out. If that fellow Xiao Tang dares to come, I will make him look good! If that fellow Xiao Tang is afraid, I will also teach that woman to know that that thief is a heartless and unjust person. Disciple! In addition, if I touch even one of that woman’s hair or injure her, you can cut me open with the sharp sword in your hand, and I, Ma Ling, will never complain!!”
Qiao Daoqing had a certain evil streak in his behavior. Hearing what Ma Ling said, he thought for a moment and said, "This is an idea... Just because the three of us are weak, we can catch him, Xiao Tang, that guy." It will definitely be a trap."
Sun An stared at Qiao Daoqing and said angrily: "Brother Daoqing, do you agree with this method!?"
Qiao Daoqing snorted coldly: "Otherwise, what can we do? You and I are so weak, how can we argue with that guy? We have already become enemies with Xiao Tang, so if we want to fight, we must fight to the end!"
"You have to do such dirty things!" Sun An said angrily: "Don't expect me to wade in this muddy water!"
Qiao Daoqing chuckled and said: "You are a hero who cherishes feathers. Master Dao, I am a monster who often does evil things! Can I still miss you after talking about benevolence and righteousness with that guy? Come on! Let me handle this matter. , so as not to tarnish your name!"
When Sun An heard what Qiao Daoqing said, he hurriedly said: "Brother Daoqing, kidnapping a woman's family is a dirty trick after all. Isn't it just making the heroes in the world laugh at her?"
Qiao Daoqing was always a competitive person. He sneered and said: "If you take that Xiao Tang, I can't help it. Even I look down on myself. Of course, we have to be honest with a hero, but what rules are there with that thief who deceives the world and steals his reputation?" As for Lao Shizi’s ridicule from fellow Jianghu people, I don’t care about him, Taoist Master?”
Sun An was sullen and silent. He saw that Qiao Daoqing had taken care of the matter. If he left now, it would be hard to explain to Qiao Daoqing. After thinking for a long time, Sun An sighed in annoyance and sat down again... ..
When Xiao Tang and others returned to the Xiao Mansion, once word spread that Xiao Tang was attacked while hunting, the Xiao Mansion immediately exploded. Violent and impatient people such as Zheng Tianshou and Shi Yong were shouting and cursing, while more sophisticated and steady people like Yang Lin, Xue Yong and others asked Xiao Tang, Yan Qing and others about the whole story and thought about it carefully.
Shi Xiu looked calm, but with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, he said: "Where did the dragon slayer and the Phantom Lord come from? If they dare to come to the boundary of our Daming Mansion to fight against Brother Xiao, wouldn't they be eating the courage of a leopard? Are you fooled by lard again?"
Xiao Tang pillow thought deeply and said: "These two are also outstanding heroes in the world, especially the dragon slayer Sun An, who is extremely skilled in the use of two swords. If it weren't for the help of brothers Hua Rong, Xiao Yi, and Guan Zhong this time, I will fall into his hand.”
"He is a tiger on the mountain. If you offend Brother Xiao, wouldn't you be asking for trouble?" Shi Xiuzheng said. He suddenly remembered something and said: "Brother Xiao, you said these two birdmen have human life lawsuits. .Since they dared to stroke the big brother’s beard and showed up in Daming Mansion, we reported it to the governor, and there will be officials from the government to chase them, which will also save our energy.”
"No!" Xiao Tang flatly refused: "For no reason, Sun An and Qiao Daoqing must have their reasons for coming to see me. The world is a matter of the world. If the government is involved in this matter, there will be no room for maneuver."
Shi Xiu originally heard Xiao Tang say that Sun An was extremely powerful, so he suggested this method to Xiao Tang just to be safe. Seeing that Xiao Tang refused, he stopped talking about it.
For heroes in the martial arts world at this time, the moral principles in the green forest have a greater binding force on them than the laws of the imperial court. For example, in Water Margin, the young master of Shijiazhuang, Jiu Wenlong Shi Jin, captured the Shaohua bandit. After Chen Da was escorted to the government to receive the reward, he was grateful for the deep loyalty of Zhu Wu, Chen Da and Yang Chun, so he became friends with the three of them.
Later, due to an informant from Orion Li Ji, Shi Jin made friends with Shaohua mountain bandits, and Shijiazhuang was surrounded by troops led by Huayin County. At that time, Shi Jin said to Zhu Wu and others: "I earned you here, and I will reward you for catching you. It's in vain." Everyone in the world laughs. If I die, I will die with you, and live with you when I live." Then he got up, burned the village and killed people. Then Shi Jin still wanted to stay innocent and left Shaohua Mountain.
After stumbling around in the rivers and lakes, Shi Jin discovered that he violated the king's law because of his loyalty. Although the world is big, he can only go up the mountain and drop grass, so he had to go back to find Zhu Wu and others, and became the number one person in Shaohua Mountain. .
This kind of violation of the law due to the morality of the Jianghu and brotherly loyalty is not uncommon in Water Margin. Compared with ordinary Jianghu heroes, Xiao Tang's dual identity of officialdom and Jianghu is more ambiguous and sensitive. Although Xiao Tang relies on his relationship with Liang Shijie, he is completely If he can use the power of the government to suppress the Jianghu people who disobey him, then he will only completely push all the people in the green forest to oppose him.
Xiao Tang understood this kind of thing, and Shi Xiu also understood it. Shi Xiu then changed his subject and said: "If you are in trouble, you must find these two birdmen and explain them clearly, otherwise you will really think that we are easy to bully." ?”
Yang Lin responded: "As the saying goes: there are no two days in the sky and no two people. If the two of them get entangled again, they will always be able to distinguish right from wrong, and then we can argue with them."
Xiao Tang smiled bitterly, thinking that when Sun An and Qiao Daoqing called him "a slut who deceives the world, steals reputation, is sanctimonious, bullies men and dominates women," he really couldn't figure it out. Where did they start from?
At this time, Xue Yong looked around and asked, "Why don't you see brother Xiao Yi?"
"Xiao Yi should have gone to Zongcheng County..." Xiao Tanggang explained to Xue Yong. His words suddenly stopped, and he suddenly thought of Ma Huilai, whom he once called Yingchun. The only thing he could do with the so-called "bullying man" Other than the maid who was almost insulted by the "Beautiful Mastiff" when she first came here three years ago, who else could have something to do with "the domineering thief"?
Apart from Xiao Tang, only Xiao An, Xiao Yi and some dealers in the Xiao Mansion know about that matter. It was not done by the current Xiao Tang at that time, so Xiao Tang subconsciously ignored Ma Hui
.
"Prepare your horse!" Xiao Tang stood up and said anxiously: "I guess Sun An and Qiao Daoqing are here for that person!"
Xiao Tang asked a banker who was close to Xiao Yi about Ma Hui's shop in Zongcheng County, and hurried to Zongcheng County with Yan Qing, Hua Rong, Shi Xiu, Yang Lin and others. Under the guidance of others in the shop, Xiao Tang hurriedly
Arrive at Ma Hui’s residence.
When the door of the room was knocked open by Xiao Tang, Ma Hui's figure was no longer visible. Xiao Yi was only seen with his mouth gagged and his hands curled up in a corner of the room.
Xiao Tang and others hurriedly untied Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi was knocked unconscious by Qiao Daoqing's heavy hand. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured. He woke up after a long time. When he saw it was Xiao Tang, he hurriedly said: "Young Master! Hui'er
That brother is here! The man is called Ma Ling, the divine colt, and he has entangled two strong reinforcements to seek bad luck on the young master!"
The god of horses, Ma Ling... turned out to be him? This explains why Qiao Daoqing and Sun An are looking for trouble with him. Tian Hu's subordinates, Qiao Daoqing, Sun An, and Ma Ling, have a very good relationship. The original work
When Sun An died suddenly, Qiao Daoqing was extremely sad. He bid farewell to Song Jiang and retired to the mountains and forests. Ma Ling also drifted away with Qiao Daoqing and went to the Erxian Mountain where Luo Zhenren, the master of Long Gongsun Sheng, lived in Yunlong to devote himself to practicing Taoism. From then on, he stopped caring about worldly affairs.
.
But now Ma Ling, Ma Hui, Qiao Daoqing, and Sun An are all missing. From what Xiao Yi said, Ma Ling will never give up. Unexpectedly, the old scores from a few years ago have come to light again... Xiao Tang asked himself,
If one of his sisters was bullied, he would seek justice like Ma Ling. But how could Xiao Tang clarify the matter to Ma Ling? How to resolve the matter may be difficult.
Ascend to heaven.......

The White Buddha Temple in Wei County, not far from Daming Mansion, can be said to be the most popular temple on Hebei East Road. Although Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, believed in Taoism, he worshiped Buddhism from the Empress Dowager because he defied all objections and appointed him as emperor.
, he built the White Buddha Temple in the name of "Yuci Renxiao. White Buddha Temple" to fulfill his filial piety, and even personally participated in carving the Buddha. This made this famous temple attract incense from all directions, and good men and women came in an endless stream.
Then I saw the tranquility of the Sanskrit temple in the White Buddha Temple. The plaque with the imperial edict of Emperor Huizong was hung high. The Sanskrit chants in the temple were solemn and dignified.
A heart of admiration.
"Brother Zhang, you're tired." Su Jinniang looked back at Zhang Qing, who had an offering of incense and candles on her shoulders and a carrying pole of silver, and she said apologetically.
Zhang Qing smiled hurriedly and said: "Miss Su said humbly, this little man still has this kind of strength."
Sun Erniang rolled her eyes at Zhang Qing and said: "Of course, you are just a rough guy, could you possibly cause trouble for us girls?"
Next to her, Little Sister Hua muttered: "Sister Sun, Brother Zhang is here to help after all, so why are you shouting around like this?"
"Huh? The girl from the Hua family can't bear to part with you?" Sun Erniang looked at Hua Xiaomei and teased: "Okay, okay, I am the only one here with a heart like a snake and a scorpion, sister, you have a heart like a Bodhisattva. I don't know which man is so lucky.
, I can marry this girl to you."
Who is Hua Xiaomei's opponent for Sun Erniang when it comes to talking and talking? After another round of words, Hua Xiaomei's face turned red with embarrassment. Su Jinniang couldn't bear it and advised: "Sister Su, the Hua family girls are thin-skinned.
, and you should stop teasing her."
Sun Erniang said in her heart that you are all good people. If you walk on the road like this for a day, you are afraid that you will be taken as a piece of goods and sold by the evil gangsters who are as smart as ghosts. You are still here pretending to be a good person with me! But on her face
Still smiling, he said: "If my sister doesn't let me say it, then I won't say it."
Back then, she had been hanging out with Shanyaksha Sun Yuan for a long time. Not only was Sun Erniang very capable of tricking people into harming others through the use of poison, she was also very clear on how to protect herself and how to strive for benefits.
Now in the Xiao Mansion, she and Zhang Qing are not like Yan Qing, Xu Guanzhong, Shi Xiu and others who have long experience and ability with Xiao Tang; nor are they like Hua Rong, Zheng Tianshou, Hou Jian and others who specialize in the arts.
, each has his own method. So Sun Erniang knew that she had to establish a good relationship with Xiao Tang, a wife who had never been married to Xiao Tang. As time went by, Sun Erniang and Su Jinniang lost their old intrigues when getting along, and their moods became much more peaceful.
"Sister Sun, I am offering incense and praying to the Buddha this time. What are you praying for?" Su Jinniang asked Sun Erniang.
How can Sun Erniang be a person who respects Gods and Buddhas? She said: "Sister, the wedding day is approaching, so of course I have to pray for your husband. I just want to live peacefully in chaos, so what wishes do I have to tell that Bodhisattva?"
Su Jinniang shook her head gently and said: "That's not what you say. Sister Sun has suffered a lot after wandering outside for a long time. Now she has settled down and enjoys the blessings. My sister didn't want to say it, so the younger sister made a wish to the Buddha on her behalf.
I pray that my sister will be happy in this life and no longer have to suffer the pain of being homeless."
After several months of getting along with each other, Sun Erniang also knew that Su Jinniang had a kind and kind temperament. When she heard what she said, Sun Erniang was speechless. She just cursed in her heart: This silly girl... she should have a good outcome.
Su Jinniang and others turned around the mountain col. Not far ahead was the White Buddha Temple. At this moment, two people suddenly appeared from the forest nearby. One of the two people was dressed as a Taoist priest, and the other was a lanky man holding an iron halberd.
, looked at Su Jinniang and others with a very unkind expression.
The Taoist suddenly asked: "Which one of you is Su Jinniang?"
Sun Erniang saw that the two men were coming with bad intentions, and they were obviously coming for Su Jinniang. Could it be that they were Xiao Tang's opponents? Her thoughts were spinning rapidly, and before Su Jinniang could reply, she stood up and asked the man
She smiled tenderly and said, "I am Su Jinniang. I wonder what the Taoist priest has to do with the slave family?"
