Aftermath of Water Margin

Chapter 29 Returning the Way to the Village
It is said that when Hu Yanyu and Xu Sheng sent Song Anping back home, they sent Miss Dun Lu to go with them.Song Anping thought to himself: "I am lucky to have met these two brothers and escaped from the tribulation. Talk to my father, and keep him for two days, and talk to the heart." Unexpectedly, in the village, the farmyard suddenly turned into a white field, and the whereabouts of his parents were unknown. , very miserable.Visit everywhere, and there are no people.Hu Yanyu said: "Naturally, in case of war, there is no need to panic about where the family members are hiding. It is getting late, and we will go to Qiancun to rest temporarily, and then go to search."

After leaving Songjia Village, I couldn't walk more than three miles. I saw a shrine with "Xuannv's palace" written on its forehead.Song Anping recognized Huandao Village. The Nine Heavens Xuannv Temple was where his uncle Song Gongming dreamed to grant the heavenly scriptures. Later, he returned to his hometown in fine clothes and rebuilt his golden body. It was built magnificently.Recruit a few Taoist abbots, buy land and make incense, clothing and food.Song Anping got off his horse first and walked into the palace, where the Taoist priest greeted him with salutes.Hu Yanyu and Xu Sheng also got off their horses and went in, and asked Wang Po to help Miss Lu down and find a spare room to settle down.Song Anping then asked: "Why did my village burn down? Where did the family hide?" The Taoist said: "Three days ago, the prefect of Yuncheng County and the same regiment led two or three hundred soldiers, surrounded your village, burned and looted it all. They arrested Si Yuanwai and An Ren. I heard that there was a feud with Tuan Lian, and they were imprisoned." Song Anping heard that and burst into tears.Hu Yanyu said: "Brother, don't be sad. I will go to the county tomorrow morning to find out and discuss it." The Taoist arranged vegetarian wine to treat each other. Everyone had something to worry about and couldn't sleep, so they talked about Wugu under the glazed lamp in the hall.Hu Yanyu said: "Brother Yun, you are from this place and you are familiar with the way. I trouble you to go to the county to find out the truth." Take ten taels of silver and give it to him for some use.Brother Yun went in a hurry.Song Anping just cried, Hu Yanyu and Xu Sheng comforted him, and had some breakfast.

When the sun was setting, Brother Yun came back and said, "That group's name is Zeng Shixiong. He is the grandson of Zeng Chaotai in Zengtou City and the son of Zeng Tu. The old general attacked Zengtou City and killed his whole family. Zeng Shixiong fled from the army. He came out, grew up, joined the Jinbing, and planned to be a regiment in Yuncheng County. The new county magistrate, surnamed Guo, heard that he was from a Taoist priest in Tokyo. Zeng Shixiong was going to kill him. The magistrate wanted to cheat three thousand silver and put him in prison. The villain went to the city gate and questioned him. Fortunately, someone recognized him, so he let him in. Go to the prison gate and use some silver to see four people outside. I have explained Langjun's recent affairs in detail, and the four members are called to come to the rescue quickly. The villain will not suffer if he uses the silver and the festival." Hu Yanyu said: "Unless you go to Dengyun Mountain to lead a team to break the city, Fang Fang It can be saved. Brother Xu and I will go. Ms. Lu is inconvenient for the journey, brother, you and Brother Yun are here. If you go up to Yunshan Mountain, it will take ten days to go back and forth, so don't worry. Ask Brother Yun to go in and reply, teach him to be patient ” Tell Wang Po to accompany Miss Lu, and take five taels of silver to make money with Taoist priests.Lai Anping cried, "Brother Annoying, come as soon as possible, don't delay." Hu Yanyu said, "Don't ask me too much." The two flew on their horses and set off on Dengzhou Road.After walking less than twenty miles, I saw Dai Zong sitting on the post box.Hu Yanyu and Xu Sheng jumped off their horses to meet each other. Dai Zongdao said, "Where have you been for a long time? It was so hard to find! And because Zhu Dian went to lead his family, he didn't see them either; Yang Lintong came to look for him, but he walked slowly and sat down. Wait for him here." Hu Yanyu took Dongchang captive by Jin soldiers, sent him to Hengchong camp as a flying rider, rescued Song Anping and escaped, the entrance of Li's house was overturned by the bartender's medicine, brother Yun rescued him, and went to Liangshanpo to pay homage The centipede came to revenge and burned it, snatched Miss Lu, and sent it home in Anping, Zeng Shixiong burned it, took Weiqing and imprisoned it, Guo Zhixian said that he wanted three thousand silver.Dai Zongdao: "I was separated that night. Your father said it was okay, so he moved to Jeju. Where is Xuanfu envoy Zhang guarding, Wushu was afraid of his reputation and did not dare to take the city. He left from Huainan. The leaders would vote for Zhang Xuanfu. , was extremely honored by Youli, and was stationed under the city for more than 20 days. Just as he was about to be granted an official position, King Dao Kang listened to Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan's efforts to negotiate a peace, reprimanded Li Gang, and Zhang Xuanfu resettled Daozhou. In the court, Ah Heima was sent to guard. The leaders had no choice but to go to Dengyun Mountain, which was not far away from here. Why don't you two go to the camp and discuss with the leaders to save Song Qing. It's just Zhu Dian going I don't know why I'm leading the family, but I haven't been here for more than ten days." Just as he was talking, Yang Lin arrived.

Let's go to the camp together, meet you, and tell us about the past.Hu Yanzhuo was overjoyed, and all the leaders were envious.Li Yingdao: "The Song and Qing Dynasties are in trouble, so they must be rescued. Why do we need a large army to measure this deserted city? I called the former battalion soldiers, Guan Sheng, Yan Qing, Fan Rui, Yang Lin, and Dai Zong to understand. We met at Dengyun Mountain." Hu Yanzhuo said: "My humble relative entrusted Wen Huanzhang to bring him to Runing, and he and his two children will return when they arrive at Runing." Hu Yanyu said, "My child has made an alliance with Song Anping, and he is allowed to go. If he arrives at Ru Ning Ning, that is a broken promise. Since my father went to climb Yunshan, and my brother and I went to save Song Qing, how about going to join my mother?" Hu Yanzhuo said happily: "My son and friends, that's how it should be!" Then he and the leaders went to The cottage is not a problem.

But it is said that Guan Sheng led the troops to Dongxi Village, only twenty li away to Yuncheng County.Yan Qing said: "Let's live here. There are few soldiers in Yuncheng, so they must be unprepared. At night, they can play with a drum." They tied up on Chao Gai's village foundation and buried pots to make food.At three o'clock, I went to the city.At the time of chaos, the residents outside the city fled and scattered, without a family.Yan Qing called me - tear down the beams and pillars of other people's broken houses, tie them into four or five ladders, and the soldiers filed up.Yang Lin and Fan Rui also climbed up to the top of the wall, but no one was guarding them.Walking down, although there are a few soldiers by the city gate, they are all asleep.Yang Lin and Fan Rui chopped off two of them and opened the city gate.Guan Sheng and others rushed in and went to the county government office.Yang Lin, Hu Yanyu, and Xu Sheng went to the prison to rescue Song Qing, and Fan Rui and Yan Qing entered the profession.Nazhi County was Guo Jing, who fell into Tokyo in order to act as a soldier of Liujia, so he went to surrender to the Jin Dynasty and went south with the soldiers of Wushu.Niu Dujian surrendered Jeju Prefecture, and those subordinate counties set up officials and directors, and Guo Jing was appointed magistrate of Yuncheng.Less than half a month after taking office, he wanted to defraud the people.I was sleeping on the bed at the moment, and suddenly I saw the torches were red, and a group of people broke in.He hurriedly got up and was putting on his clothes. Fan Rui rushed over, took a light on the fire, and shouted, "It's the thief's way!" He said, "Tie up the hemp rope, and I'll ask him slowly!" Ya, I-take out the silver and the soft ones. There are no family members yet, and the two young children are companions, and they are all killed.Yang Lin, Hu Yanyu, and Xu Sheng opened the prison door, killed all the jailers and prisoners first, and released the criminals, but Song Qing and his wife were not seen.Go to the county line and say to Guan Sheng, "There is no Song Qing in the prison!" Yan Qing said, "Just ask the county magistrate." Guan Sheng asked, "Where is Song Qing?" Guo Jing said, "Song Qing has enmity with Zeng Shixiong. Imprisoned in prison. Yesterday Jeju Aheima wrote a letter saying that there was a person in the Hengchong camp register who came to Anping. He was from Yuncheng County. His father's name was Song Qing. He left with Zhang Long and Zhang Hu the day before yesterday and settled in Yuncheng. The county wants this Song Anping. I interrogated Song Qing, and it turns out that Anping is his son, and Zeng Shixiong was sent to Jeju." Yan Qing said: "Since I brought it to Jeju, I will go to Huandao Village to talk to Song Anping again. .” So Guo Jing was taken into custody, and he rode his horse to Huan Dao Village.

But Song Anping was staring anxiously, and hurried out when he heard horse neighing.Seeing that Huyanyu's flying horse arrived first, he was overjoyed and shouted, "Brother, you came so fast!" Huyanyu dismounted and said, "A few uncles are here." Enter Xuannv Palace.Song Anping stepped forward and saluted everyone to thank them.Guan Shengdao: "Yuncheng County was broken, and the magistrate has already taken it here. It's just your father and Lingtang. Zeng Shixiong went to Jeju yesterday. It said that you escaped with Zhang Long and Zhang Hu in Jinying, and you were recorded in the book as Yun He is from Chengxian County, and his father's name is Song Qing, so he went to Jeju to ask questions. Where are Zhang Long and Zhang Hu from?" Xu Sheng said with a smile: "These two people are not thousands of miles away, only at present, only me and brother Hu That's right." Song Anping was very happy when he saw soldiers and horses arriving at the beginning.Seeing that, he went to Jeju again, with tears in his eyes, but he couldn't say a word.Yan Qing said: "Don't worry, there is nothing you can't do! First trouble Dean Dai, Yang Lin, and Brother Yun to go to Jeju to find out. Jeju is a prefecture, not as good as Decao County. Besides, there are soldiers guarding Ah Heima. We can't attack, so we have to find a way to rescue them." Dai Zong, Yang Lin, and Brother Yun got up and went first.

Yang Lin went to the road and said, "I still asked Zhu Dian for news, but I don't know where his home is." Brother Yun said, "Dare you be the head of the county government the day before yesterday?" Yang Lin said, "It's him." Brother Yun said : "This is the way. It passes by the entrance of the village. It's called Jinxiang Village. It's not half a mile to go in." Dai Zongdao: "Slow down and do the magic, and go to Jinxiang Village to ask the sound." If you can't walk five miles, there is a seat gazebo.Brother Yun said, "Just go in here." The three of them walked into the village and saw a shepherd boy sitting on the back of a bull, grazing grass there.Brother Yun asked, "Where does Zhu Dutou live?" The shepherd boy said with his finger, "Turn around the corner, and it's in the big bamboo forest. He's not at home. He was an official for two or three years before returning, and he didn't know where he was going." It's gone." The three walked to the edge of the bamboo forest, and saw that the two fence gates were tightly closed.After knocking on the door twice, a foster mother came out and asked what she did.The three went into the thatched cottage and said, "We're here to find Mr. Zhu. He's a good brother." Hearing this, Zhu Gongren went behind Zhaobi and made his adoptive mother ask, "I don't know which one?" Yang Lin said, "It's Dai Zong, Yang Lin." Zhu Gong came out to meet him.Dai Zongdao: "All the brothers are going to climb Yunshan Mountain. Brother Zhu came back to pick up his sister-in-law. I haven't seen you for several days, so I came to ask." My mother has always lived with me. He has a nephew who lives in Jeju, and he wants to pick him up. He doesn’t smell very good to him. Mr. Xianggong went to Jeju to see him because of his old friendship. I haven’t seen him for a while. It's worrying. There is only a foster mother here, and it is not easy to find. Uncle is coming from afar, please sit down." Dai Zongdao: "We are going to Jeju, so we will look for it somewhere. I just don't know what the nephew's name is Where do you live?" Zhu Gong said in a humane way: "I only know that he is called Qian Waizui, but I don't know his name. He said he lives in Yongfeng Lane in front of the mansion." The young man brought out the wine and dinner, and Zhu Gong said in a humane way: "If you see him I have met my husband, and told him to come back quickly." Dai Zongdao: "Naturally." Zhu Gong went in.Three of them ate, but the voice of thanks went without asking.

It turned out that there was another reason for Zhu Dian to go to Jeju.That Zhu Ting is the most loyal, and he is the head of the capital together with Lei Heng, because Lei Heng is narrow-minded and his family is poor, so he always loves him.When Lei Heng beat Bai Xiuying to death, Zhu Dianxie went to Qizhou to release him, and asked his mother to go to Liangshanbo overnight to take the blame. This is the first benefit.Nowadays, people in the world follow your close relatives and flesh and blood, if for this matter, they all look at you coldly, and if you don't come to lay stones, it will be considered a good job.Later, Fangla died in the battle, and all the gold and silk rewards given by the army were collected by Lei Heng's mother.There is no one to take care of him, so he lives with his wife at home, just like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, very docile.Later, he was promoted to be in charge of the capital of Baoding Prefecture. He had a long journey and did not bring his family members with him.

That Lei Heng's mother has a nephew Qian crooked mouth, he has no conscience.Knowing that the girl has something in her hand, she wants to lie to his house.At the beginning, the mother-in-law refused, and she was filial and filial in every possible way.When Zhu Gong saw his nephew, he couldn't stay very firmly.When the mother-in-law came to his house, it turned out that the money was not afraid of the crooked mouth, but the wife of the Wu family would be so soft that she would not be able to move when she saw it.That Mrs. Wu is a vicious prostitute who blackmails her husband and likes to do little things, so Qian Waizui doesn't care about her.The couple decided to take Granny Lei home. It was okay at first, but when she finished coaxing the things in her hands, she changed her face, caught chickens and scolded dogs, and asked Granny Lei to do her job. no.I had no choice but to swallow my anger.When an acquaintance came, he was angry at him for being an eyesore, making noise all day long, which was nothing to worry about.When Zhu Dian went home and asked about Grandma Lei, the respectful person said: "My nephew will pick you up, and Ling Ping is sad to hear that." Zhu Dian couldn't bear it, and said, "I was chased and killed by Jin soldiers in Baoding Mansion, but fortunately Hu Yanzhuo rescued me." Solution. Both Shandong and Henan belonged to the Jin Dynasty, and there is no room here. All the brothers climbed Yunshan together. You pack it up, and I went to Jeju to pick up Grandma Lei to come and go with me. I have known Lei Heng for half a lifetime, and his mother is me Like a mother, Qian Waizui is not a good person, and there is no result in his house. I will come." Then he went to Jeju, Qian Waizui greeted him, and said happily: "Congratulations on the return of the ruler! I haven't congratulated you yet, but I have been patronized." Zhu Dian said: "Grandma Lei is here, and she is here to visit." Grandma Lei was very happy to see Zhu Dian coming home, so she came out to meet her.It's hard to say anything because Qian's mouth is crooked.Zhu Dian said: "I'm afraid it's not safe and convenient here, or I would have come to my house." Qian said with a crooked mouth, "My girl, how tired of being in control." He called his family to tidy up the food and drink and treat each other: "I'll come and buy some more fruit. Going out of the door, he thought, "The fourth prince of Wushu has a notice. If there is an official in the Southern Dynasty who can't hide it, if someone first sues, the official will reward him with a thousand guan in silver. Seeing that this Zhu Dian is under the control of Baoding Mansion, go to the head of him." Get this thousand rewards, and you will make a fortune!" Busily went to Ah Heima to report: "There is Baoding Mansion under the control. It turned out that Liang Shanbo was recruited. Now I am afraid that I will be troubled by my small family, so I am here to present my head." Ah Heima sent a team of soldiers to take the money and twist their mouths to make eyes.

But when Zhu Dian was talking to Grandma Lei, a group of soldiers rushed in, locked the iron chain and Zhu Dian left.Zhu Tong didn't know where he came from, so he couldn't struggle.Brought into the hall of Jeju Mansion, Ah Heima asked: "You are an official of Baoding Mansion, why are you hiding at home?" Zhu Dian said: "The humble job committee is under the control of the capital of Baoding Mansion, and I just arrived home yesterday." Ah Heima said: "Since it is When I got home yesterday, I put it in the horse house, and after I got the edict, I have my own decision." Everyone rushed to the horse house.Seeing a person mixing medicine there, it was Uncle Zibeard Huang Fuduan. When he saw Zhu Dian, he was surprised and said, "Why did you come here, brother?" Zhu Dian said, "I don't know why. I went home yesterday because Lei Heng's mother He was at his nephew Qian Waizui's house, so he came to visit him. Qian Waizui took the lead, Ah Heima was banned here, and I don't know how to distribute it." Huangfu said: "It's okay. The fourth prince of Wushu issued an announcement: Anyone who has Officials in the Song Dynasty had to pay imperial edicts and use their talents according to their ability. If they could not hide, they would be in accordance with the military law. If someone first sued, the officials would reward him with a thousand guan. This is the reason. The younger brother was captured by the Jin soldiers because Bianjing was broken. Knowing that I can heal horses, I kept them in the Wushu Camp. Because some horses had runny noses, please come here. There is another incident: Song Gongming’s Zhaoye Jade Lion and Hu Yanzhuo Didn’t all of the kicking Xuewuzi given by the imperial court were stolen and presented to Tongguan the day before yesterday when they conquered Liao Dynasty, and they somehow returned to the Jin Dynasty. Song Anping, the son of Song Qing, was taken captive in the camp, and Zhang Long, Zhang Hu rode away with a five-flowered horse. Now the Song and Qing couples are captured and they want Song Anping, Zhang Long, Zhang Hu and these three horses. They were released yesterday and tied inside, and they will go in and meet him for a while. Yes." Zhu Dian walked in with Huangfu Duan, and there was a hut next to the Mafang, where Huangfu Duan rested.I saw Song and Qing couples sitting with frowning eyebrows. Zhu Dian met each other and each complained about their sorrows.Song Qingdao: "Fortunately, I met Mr. Huangfu, so I can settle down here. It's very bad outside." Seeing that no one was around, Zhu Dian elaborated that he went to drink Machuan the day before yesterday, met everyone, and wanted to climb Yunshan. Granny Lei came to pick her up, and her good intentions were caught in the net.Huangfu said: "They only want money! I have a good connection here. This Mrs. Ah Heima is the inseparable daughter. She is very powerful. Ah Heima is very afraid of her internal affairs and refuses to listen to her. The leader of the horse I came here with my wife as a dowry, and my wife said something in front of me. Use some money. Both of you are fine." Zhu Dian said: "I was in office, and Jin Bing killed him. Only a naked body was left, and the family had no savings. Unless you borrow from all the brothers, how can anyone communicate?" Huangfu said: "I will tell the boss, if someone comes to look for it, don't stop it, it will come naturally. I will provide the food every day, and please rest assured." Zhu Dian , Song Qing stays patiently and does not ask questions.

Let's say that when the three of Dai Zong came to Jeju, they first went to Qian Waizui's house to visit Zhu Dian.With a call, a mother-in-law came out from behind the curtain and asked, "Who are you looking for?" Ask: "What's the matter?" The mother-in-law turned her head and looked inside, tears were exchanged, and she was speechless.Inside the curtain, I saw a woman with half of her body exposed, her face covered with greasy powder, and she shouted: "My family is not very governed by Zhu! This old idiot has a lot to do, just go back to him!" Dai Zong saw that it was not the head, He turned around and walked out with Yang Lin and Brother Yun, and said, "The mother-in-law is crying. This woman has a bad voice. I don't know why?" The three of them walked around without sound loss.Just as I was about to go to the tavern to have a drink, I saw Huangfu walking forward, and a young servant was carrying a medicine cage.Dai Zong shouted: "Mr. Huangfu!" Huangfu met Dai Zong and Yang Lin and said, "You two came just in time!" He took Dai Zong's hand and walked into the horse house. "Teach you to meet two people." Walking into the hut, Zhu Dian and Song Qing were there, and when they met, Dai Zongdao: "Brothers are worried, ask me to inquire." Seeing Brother Yun, Zhu Dian asked: "Why are you here?" Brother Yun said: "Mr. Song's family wants me to come." Qing Qing said to Song Qing: "Yuncheng County was captured last night, but there were no other four members. I heard that I went to Jeju, but here." Zhu Tie took Lei Heng's mother in memory of him and took him with him, but Qian turned his mouth out because he said what he said here.Yang Lindao: "That old mother-in-law is Lei Heng's mother, and it's strange that she can't stop crying. That woman like Qiao is a female voice." Zhu Dian said: "This is Qian Waizui's wife. Because of this shrew I can't bear to insult Granny Lei, so I went to visit her, who knows what caused this disaster!" Huangfu said, "I told the head of the horse, and I went to my wife to have my joints repaired. Brother Zhu needs 2000 taels of silver. Song Yuanwai asked for 500 taels of silver, and he would be released after paying the price of the horse. The only worry is that no one will communicate. Now that the dean and Brother Yang are here, they can make up for it.” Yang Lin said: “If you want money, don’t worry. Hurry up." Huangfu Duan said: "Ah Heima, Wushu is sent to fight a warship, and he will get up tomorrow, and it is best to do it quickly." Dai Zongdao: "It will take five days to go back and forth." Huangfu Duan said: "Wait until I go again. Talk about a limited date." After going for a while, he came back and said, "It's been set for a period of eight days. The wife of the silver official will receive it for free, and all the cattle will be released. I also want to thank the boss for 100 taels, and use it sporadically. Let Zeng Shixiong take Si'an people back first, and get up tomorrow. It's inconvenient for An people to be here, this is my experience." Zhu Dian and Song Qing thanked: "I am in trouble, thanks to the brothers for saving me!" Dai Zongdao: "That's the case Brother Yun, I’ll go first with Brother Yun, and Brother Yang, you can see where you are here." Zhu Dian said: "This place is good. The dean must come to my house first and reply to Zhuo Jing." Dai Zongdao: "I know. We will see you when we come. I'm more respectful to my sister-in-law." Went out of the city with Brother Yun, and practiced miraculously.

In less than half a day, I went to Zhu Dian's house and replied to Zhu Gongren.When they arrived at Huantao Village, Guan Sheng and Yan Qing asked how it was.Dai Zong took Zhu Dian as the mother of Tan Lei Heng, who was first reported by his nephew Qian Waizui and imprisoned in Mafang. When he met Huang Fuduan, he saw where Song Qingtong was.After getting through the joints of my wife, I want 500 taels of silver, and I will be released within eight days. I will leave Yang Lin to see where he is.Tomorrow, Ah Heima set off to see the building of warships. Zeng Shixiong first escorted the people of Song An to collect the silver, and explained in detail.Guan Sheng said: "The ones taken from Guojing Street are not more than 2000 taels, and half of it is less. The dean must go to Dengyun Mountain to get them. I don't know if I can return them in eight days?" Yan Qing said with a smile: " If Ah Heima is not in Jeju, Zeng Shixiong will bring Song Anren first, and there is no need to spend any money. I have a clever plan. Zhu Dian and Song Qing will arrive soon, and they can take revenge." Exactly: plan to capture in the middle of the month The Jade Rabbit plans to catch the Golden Crow all day long.I don't know what Yanqing said, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down.

The beautiful bearded man has always been a friend, Qian crooked mouth disregards family and friendship, explores the world situation, and brings out Huang Fuduan by the way, the pen and ink are deified
