Outlaws of the Marsh chapter 10

Liang Zhongshu prepared the gift, and it was the middle of May, so he called Yang Zhi and ordered him to escort the birthdate. Yang Zhi asked: "How to escort the law?" Liang Zhongshu said: "With ten Taiping cars loaded with gifts, put the yellow flag of 'Congratulating Taishi's birthday' on the cars, let a military health protection for each car, within three days to get up." Yang Zhi said, "At this rate, I can't go. This way to pass the Purple Mountain, Erlong Mountain, peach blossom Mountain, umbrella mountain, HuangNigang, Baishawu, Wild Yundu, Red pine forest, are the place where the strong man. Isn't that how Eunsang lost her birthday last year?" Liang Zhongshu said: "I send more troops to defend not on the line?" Yang Zhi said, "No matter how many troops you send, it is useless. When a soldier sees a robber, he will take care of his own life first. Who will work for you?" Liang Zhongshu said: "So, the birthday program will not be sent?" Yang Zhi said: "Give it away, but listen to me." He laid out his plan. The book of Liang says, "I will listen to you. As long as you send it to the birthday program, I will guarantee you the emperor's honor." Yang Zhi thanked, went to pick ten strong soldiers, and made ten burdens of gifts. The next day, Liang Zhongshu said: "Your wife also has a load of gifts for the female relatives who have not gone out for a long time, in case you do not know the road to the inner house, she sent the milkman Xieduguan and two princes to go with you." Yang Zhi said, "Xie Du Guan is the old steward of your family and has great power. How can I control him when I'm just a little steward? When the soldier is easy to do, I can fight and kill if I don't listen to him, he wants to make trouble with me, I can't. Well, he goes and I don't." Liang Zhongshu said, "I made them obey your commands." Yang Zhi said: "If so, I would like to get a military warrant." Liang Zhongshu called Xie Duguan and the duke of Yu and said, "The three of you must listen to Yang Tixia's orders along the way, do not quarrel with him, and do not have any more accidents."

On the fifth watch of the next day, eleven officers disguised themselves as porters and picked out eleven loads of gifts. Yang Zhi and Lao Du Guan dressed as merchants, carrying waist swords and Piao swords, and two Yu Hou disguised themselves as followers and headed south. It was often the middle of May and the weather was getting hotter day by day. In the first few days, the fifteen people took advantage of the cool of the day before dawn, and rested at noon when it was very hot, and then drove a distance when the sun went down in the afternoon. Six or seven days later, less and less people on the road, and are all paths, but Yang Zhi wants everyone to go again when the sun is high, the hotter the noon, the more to go, it is not dark early shop rest. The eleven soldiers were carrying heavy burdens, tired and hot, and wanted to rest when they saw the shade of the trees. Yang Zhi rushed to, Shouting and scolding, no longer obedient, with rattan lashing. Two Yu Hou only carrying carry-on luggage, also can not stand the heat, can not walk the road, Yang Zhi scolded: "You are not sensible, do not help sprinkle home drive them to go quickly, but also slow refused to go!" Yu was not convinced and countered: "A few days ago, we all took advantage of the cool, why these days, the more hot the more rushed?" Yang Zhi said: "A few days ago, the ground was peaceful, and now I have come to the place where the strong man is hanging out, and you don't want to kill me!" Yu could not, had to complain to the old city. The old man said: "Well let us listen to him, there is no way, first patience for a few days." In the afternoon, Yang Zhi went to the inn early again. Eleven sergeants were hot and tired, and the rattan wounds were burning and painful, so they went to the old man to complain. The old man said, "Bear with me for a few days, and I will reward you when you get to Tokyo." Soldiers have nothing to say.

So walked for ten days, a line of fifteen people, fourteen people to Yang Zhi hate to the bone. By this time, it was early June, and the weather was burning, so Yang Zhi pressed even harder. This day, the sun is a pole high, Yang Zhi called a fire to cook, after dinner, very easy to catch twenty miles of road, the sun has been high in the sky, the weather is hot like a steamer. The sergeant saw the shade of the tree and wanted to rest, Yang Zhi caught up with him and beat him with a cane, saying: "Walk through the front Gangzi and rest again." They went up to the tree and saw that the tree was full of pine trees. The sergeant threw the burden and ran to the shade of the tree to rest and cool off. Yang Zhi waved the cane, hit this, that sat down, hit that, this sat down again. The sergeants said, "Don't talk about fighting, even if you cut us with a knife to make seven or eight sections, we can't walk any further." Old tube sweaty came, panting said: "Let them rest, are parents born of flesh and blood body, so hot who can bear?" Yang Zhi said: "This is called Huangnigang, it is the strongman haunt place, how dare to rest here?" The marquis of Yu said, "He will only scare people with this." The old man said, "Let them rest until after noon." Yang Zhi said: "After the Gangzi, seven or eight miles of road is not inhabited, to rest here, there must be an accident."

Yang Zhi cursed and beat, and the sergeants shouted and shouted, but they could not get up. The old man said, "Yang Tiche, you are a damned person, but a petty official of a small size." When I was in the Taishi Mansion, how many officials saw me also had to nod and bow, how can you be so brave? Don't say I am in charge of everything, just a country old man, you should listen to me a few words." Yang Zhi said: "You have been living in the official mansion, how can you know the danger on the road?" The old man said: "I have been to Sichuan and Guangdong, and I have not seen anything sinister." Yang Zhi said: "That was a peaceful time, how can it be compared now?" The old man got angry and said, "You should cut out your tongue for saying that!" Two people are quarreling, see over there in the pine forest someone peeking this way. Yang Zhi rushed over with a knife and shouted: "This boy is so bold, dare to inquire about my goods." There were seven Jiangzhou carts in the pine forest, and several people were lying in the shade of the trees. Seeing Yang Zhi coming, they jumped up and shouted: "Robbers are coming!" Yang Zhi asked, "Who are you?" They said, "We're a small business. We don't have any money." Yang Zhi said: "I am rich? What do you do?" Those people said: "We are selling dates in Haozhou, and we want to sell them in Tokyo." I heard that there were strong men in the gang, but we had no money anyway, and we only had some dates, so we went to the gang." Yang Zhi said: "Originally you are also guests, I just said that I met a strong man, came to see." Those people said: "The guest officer take some dates to eat." Yang Zhi said, "No need." Yang Zhi walked back, the old man said: "It is the thief, let's go." Yang Zhi said: "It is a group of dates." The old man said, "They are all dead." Yang Zhi said: "Don't laugh, nothing is the best." Everyone laughed, Yang Zhi also inserted a knife, looking for the shade of the tree to sit down.

Soon after, a man came carrying a pair of barrels and singing as he walked:

The sun is burning like a fire, and the Noda rice is half scorched.

The farmer's heart boiled like soup, the prince shook the fan.

The man on the hill, find a shade to rest his burden. A sergeant asked, "Pick what?" The man said, "It's wine." "Where to?" "Sell it in the village ahead." "How much for a barrel?" "Five Guan." The sergeants agreed to pool money to buy wine. Yang Zhi scolded: "Do not buy, how many heroes have been turned over by the sweat medicine, you dare to buy alcohol at random, so bold!" The man said, "I don't have to sell it to you, what are you talking about?"

There was a quarrel here, the customer selling dates came over and asked: "What are you arguing about?" The man said, "The official said that there was a drug in my wine." The jujube sellers said, "Since they are suspicious, they will sell them to us." The man said, "No, no, don't turn you over." The jujube seller said, "They said you, but we didn't." You can sell it wherever you choose, and we'll give you a lot of money." The man said, "I will sell you a bucket."

The seller of dates took coconut ladle wine to eat, and held some dates to drink, and soon ate up a bucket of wine. The seller of dates asked: "Just eat, have not asked the price." The man said: "five." One man counted the money, another man lifted the lid of the cask, scooped up the wine and ate it, while the man drove off, and another guest scooped up the wine. The man took off the ladle, poured it back into the bucket, and said: "How sensible!" The guest said, "We did not offer, what does it matter to spare a ladle?"

All the soldiers see others eat wine, the heart is more itchy uncomfortable, find the old tube, let the old tube with Yang Zhi. Yang Zhi see the sale of dates to eat nothing, not to mention this bucket also ate a ladle, it will no longer block. The sergeant collected money to buy wine, but at first the man still took a stand and said, "I have sweat medicine in my wine, I don't sell it!" The soldiers even offered good words, and the jujube sellers interceded, when the man said, "All right, I'll sell it to you." They just ate one ladle, this bucket is cheaper, four out of five." The jujube seller lent the ladle to the sergeant and sent them several handfuls of jujube to drink. Sergeant scooped the wine, please eat the old tube first, and please Yang Zhi eat. Yang Zhi heart feel sorry, only eat half a ladle. The officers and the prince ate a cask of wine. The man packed up the empty bucket and carried it away.

After a while, Yang Zhi felt a little dizzy, and the seven jujube sellers clapped their hands and laughed, saying: "Down! Down!" Yang Zhi was taken aback, want to stand up again, limp limbs, old tube with all early unconscious. He just knew he was up to his tricks. Those who sold dates threw them down and divided eleven carloads of jewelry into seven cars and said to Yang Zhi, "Excuse me." Pushed the cart down the hill. Originally, these seven selling dates is Chao Gai and other seven people dress up, bear wine man is Bai Sheng. When the wine was brought, both barrels were good wine, they ate one barrel first, and Liu Tang scooped a ladle from the other barrel to eat, which was a show, indicating that this barrel was also good wine. Wu Yong put the medicine into the ladle, also came to scoop the wine, Bai Shengdou poured into the wine barrel, and the medicine went in. This is where Wu Yong's strategy is brilliant.

Yang Zhi eat less wine, poisoning is light, although the heart understand, but can not move, had to watch the Chao Gai seven people robbed the birthday. To the medicinal past, Yang Zhi stood up, saw the old are also some sober, angrily scold: "It is you this old bastard self-assertion, do not listen to honest advice, caused me to lose the birthdate, there is a country difficult to vote, there is a home difficult to run!" Old tube heart has been clear, just can not say words, plus ashamed of Yang Zhi, regret. Yang Zhi dark thought, it is not easy to get the appreciation of Liang in the book, mixed up on an official position, this time finished, jumping into the Yellow River is difficult to wash, came to a cliff edge, to jump down, and another thought, parents gave birth to me seven feet of the body, how can I die in vain? He strode down the hill.

Old and all the soldiers wake up, a cry of bitterness, regret did not listen to Yang Zhi's good advice. They discussed how to go back to the post, the old pipe said: "Anyway, Yang Zhi left, let's push the matter on him, said he colluded with the strong man, turn us over, robbed the birthdate, I do not know where to happy." All said well, return to the Daimyo, report to Liang Zhongshu, the old city management and sent Yu Hou to Jizhou, report to the local government.

Yang Zhi walked south for a long time, tired and hungry, this only remembered to go in a hurry, only took the weapon, but forgot the burden, there is no money. That night, he slept hungry in a forest. The next day, he was so hungry that he went to a village shop, asked for wine and meat, ate a full meal, wiped his mouth, and left with a knife. The owner's wife chased him out and said, "Why don't you pay for dinner?" Yang Zhi said: "First on credit, come back to you." Small two catch up, by Yang Zhi a punch knocked over. Just about to go, a big man came with a stick and said: "Where are the freeloaders?" The little two also ran back and called several people, each armed with weapons, ready to fight. Yang Zhi is very simple knife, fighting that man. After twenty or thirty rounds of fighting, the man was not the opponent, and the small two were about to join their gang, but the man jumped out of the circle and asked: "The man, you first pass a name." Yang Zhi said: "Sprinkle family line does not change its name, sit does not change its name, is green face beast Yang Zhi." The man threw the stick, bowed down, and said: "The boy has a blind eye." Yang Zhi asked, "Who are you?" The man said, "My master is Lin Chong, the head of a leopard, and my name is Cao Zheng, who is known as a knife." I used to live in Tokyo, but because I had lost money on business, I could not go back, so I settled down here and opened a guest shop. That woman is my wife, and Junior is my brother-in-law. When I fought with you just now, I saw that you were on a par with my master's tactics, but it was Yang." Yang Zhi said, "It turned out to be Lin's disciple. I have met your master. He has joined us at Liang Shanbo." Cao Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "I've heard, it's all Gao Qiu that son of a bitch." Cao Zheng Yang Zhi please back to the store, put wine hospitality. When Yang Zhi told him what had happened to him, Cao Zheng said, "So Yang Zhi will stay with me for a few more days." Yang Zhi said, "The government will hunt me down soon, don't get you involved." I was going to join Liang Shanbo and find your master, but Wang Lun invited me to join him at first, and I didn't want to, and now I have two more gold seals on my face, how can I have the face to meet him? So it's a dilemma." Cao Zheng said, "I also heard that Wang Lun was narrow-minded and could not tolerate others, and my master joined in and was subjected to all kinds of difficulties by him." According to me, there is an Erlong Mountain near here, and there is a treasure temple on the mountain, and the abbot of the temple has returned the customs, gathered hundreds of people, raided and looted houses. The leader is called Deng Long, the golden-eyed tiger. It is better to seize Erlong Mountain and make it king." Yang Zhi said, "That's good."

Yang Zhi lived in Cao Zheng store for one night, borrowed some money the next day, took the park knife, went straight to Erlongshan. Walked to the evening, nowhere to sleep, saw a forest, walked into. In the forest sat a fat monk, stripped naked, all embroidered with flowers, seeing Yang Zhi, cursed: "Where do you come from?" Yang Zhi listen to the monk accent is also Kansai people, busy asked: "Where are you a monk?" The monk also did not reply, brandishing the Zen staff to play over, Yang Zhiting Park knife to meet, two people fought 40 or 50 rounds, regardless of victory or defeat, the monk jumped out of the circle, said: "and live!" Yang Zhi stopped his hand, the monk asked: "green face man, who are you?" Yang Zhi said: "I am green face beast Yang Zhi." The monk asked, "Did you kill the cow?" Yang Zhi pointed to his face and said, "Look at the gold seal. Who are you?" Monk said: "I am the old kind of prime minister account premise jurisdiction Ruda, because killed town Kansai, when the monk, the French number wisdom deep, rivers and lakes called flower monk." Yang Zhi said: "I heard you are in the Daxiangguo Temple, how come here?" Zhishen said, "Because the boy Gao Qiu will hurt Lin Chong, I saved Lin Chong's life in the wild pig forest and escorted him to Cangzhou." The two officials recognized me and went back to tell Gao Qiu, Gao Qiu sent someone to arrest me. The loss of the shreds are reported, I was off, wandering rivers and lakes. Not long ago in Mengzhou cross slope, was a woman, almost lost his life, it turned out to be garden Zhang Qing and hag Sun Erniang couple. They let me to vote for Erlong Mountain, hate Deng Long that boy did not ask me to join, I fought with him, I was kicked over, fled back to the mountain, let me scold, no longer dare to come out. I'm here sulking and I don't want to find you." They worshipped each other and sat in the woods all night. Yang Zhi said: "Deng Long does not fight, we can not attack, it is better to go to Cao Zheng to discuss." Two people came to Cao Zheng hotel, Cao Zheng heard Lu Zhishen is master's benefactor, hurriedly put wine hospitality. Zhi deep said the matter of fighting Erlong Mountain, Cao Zheng said: "Erlong mountain is sinister, Deng Long does not fight, ten thousand men are difficult to attack, we can only be clever." Three people discuss for a while, Cao is coming up with an idea, wisdom deep, Yang Zhilian said: "brilliant."

The next day, deep wisdom, Yang Zhi, Cao Zheng with Cao Zheng's small uncle and six or seven zhuang guests, straight to Erlongshan. Half afternoon, a line of people came to the forest, wisdom deep off clothes, Cao Zheng tied him up, wan a buckle let zhuang guest hold. A line of people surrounded wisdom deep came to Erlongshan. The small leader of Erlongshan asked, "What are you doing here?" Cao Zheng said, "I opened a small hotel at the foot of the mountain, and this monk came to the store to eat and get drunk, and said that he would kill the king and level Erlong Mountain." I made him drunk and bound him to the King." Small leader fly report Deng Long. Deng Long was kicked by Zhishen in the lower abdomen, which still hurts, and said: "Quickly bring the monk up, take out his heart and make hangover soup." Xiao Tou looked down the hill, opened the gate, the people entered the gate, came to the top of the temple, two small leaders helped Deng Long to sit on the chair, Deng Long cursed: "You bald donkey, you kicked me very hard, and sometimes fell into my hands." Zhuang guest pulled the rope head, Zhi deep broke the rope, took the Zen stick from Cao Zheng's hand, and shouted: "Don't go!" Jump on Deng Long. Deng Long has not stood up, and his head and chair have been smashed. Yang Zhi and others early swinging knife, cut over a few henchmen. Cao Zheng shouted, "Those who surrender will not die!" Seeing that the King was dead, hundreds of soldiers threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground. Cao Zheng called people to carry a few dead bodies of Deng Long to the back mountain, a fire burned, set deep wisdom, Yang Zhi as the stockade, occupied Erlongshan.

The governor of Jeju received the report of Yu Hou, surprised, not many days and received the official document of Tokyo Taishi Mansion, but also received the letter of Liang Zhongshu of the Daimyo Mansion, it is not all day long, afraid of the head of this black yarn flying. He summoned He Tao, an envoy on patrol in Sandu, and ordered, "I give you ten days to solve the case and capture Yang Zhi and seven thieves, as well as the man who sold wine." If you can't get it in time, it will be my fault, and I will send your boy to a place where geese can't fly!" He called a writer and stabbed him in the face to "superimpose..." "State," with the name of the state blank.

He Tao retreated, called the public, the public see the leader so, all looked at each other. He Tao said, "You usually get a lot of benefits from me, but now you refuse to help me in this case." The public can't come up with a single idea. He Tao glumly returned home, his wife asked him why so, he said distress, his wife also worried.

Husband and wife are talking, He Tao's brother He Qing came. He Tao said angrily: "You are not short of money, will not come to me." His wife hurriedly invited him to the kitchen, arranged some wine and meat, and said: "Uncle, your brother is troubled, don't disturb him." He Qing said: "No matter how bad I am also his brother, how to treat me like this?" Sister-in-law said He Tao deadline to solve the case. He Qing said, "What's the big deal? I already know who committed the crime." The woman hurriedly told He Tao, He Tao made a table of wine and meat, took out a hundred silver, He Qingcai said: "That day I went to the north gate ten miles of the village of An Le Wang Inn gambling, came to a group of seven customers selling dates. When writing the book, the head man said, 'My name is Li.' But I recognized him as Chao Baozheng from Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County. The next day, I went to the neighboring village with the shopkeeper to gamble, and met a man to pick two barrels. The master asked, 'Bai Dalang, where are you going? The man said, "Sell vinegar." After the man left, the shopkeeper said, "His name is Bai Sheng, and he is also a gambler." At the beginning, I did not care, but later I heard that a group of customers selling dates on Huangnigang had robbed the birthdate, and who was Chao Baozheng? Now as long as Bai Sheng is captured, where will this gang run to?"

He Tao took a few to do the public, rushed to the village of Anle overnight, called open the White House, tied his husband and wife, dug out a bag of gold and silver from under the bed, and took it to Jeju City. After dawn, the governor ascended to the hall, trial Bai Sheng. Bai Sheng did not recruit at first, how to arrive at the official punishment? No time was beaten to pieces, had to recruit Chao Gai, the other six people are unknown. Governor put Bai Sheng couple into death row, write official documents, ordered He Tao immediately rushed to Yuncheng County, make Yuncheng County immediately catch Chao Gai and other seven criminals, seized stolen goods, sent to Jeju.

He Tao picked up twenty powerful subordinates, took two princes of Liang Fu to identify the criminals, the starry night came to Yuncheng County, let them hide in the inn, can not be exposed, with a dear follow, came to the county Yamen. At this time, just as the county retired from the morning office, he went to a tea shop across the door to eat tea waiting. He asked Dr. Tea, "Who is on duty today?" Dr. Tea pointed to the yamen and said, "That's the Song Adishi." He Tao looked, and out of the yamen came a man, about thirty years old, not tall, dark face, sharp eyes, three strands of beard. This person named Song name Jiang, word Gongming, ranking third, filial nature, the most righteous, helping the old, spending money, so, the county called him Xiaoyi black Sanlang, Jianghu called him timely rain, also called Baoyi. He Tao stood up and called, "Oshi, please come and have tea." Song Jiang came over and asked, "Where do you come from?" He Tao said, "I am He Tao, the convoys of Jizhou Prefecture. His name is Ascogau." Song Jiang said, "The official's name is Song and his name is Jiang." He Tao said some polite words such as I have heard your name for a long time, explained the purpose of coming, took out the document and handed it over, saying: "Please inform the county when you submit it." Song Jiang was taken aback. Chao Gai is his sworn brother, now commit a terrible crime, fortunately today he was on duty, he hit He Tao, he said: "Chao Gai is a stubborn people, the whole county no one does not scold him, catch them like a fish in a fish trap." However, the county master was eating, and after a short rest, he was promoted to director. This document is very important. I will inform you and you will give it to him yourself." He Taolian claims it is. Song Jiang said again, "I will come back to deal with some personal matters, you don't sit down for a moment." Song Jiang returned to his residence, mounted a fast horse, and flew straight to Dongxi Village.

Chao Gai seven people robbed the birthday, three Ruan divided the treasure, has been back to Shi Jie village. Chao Gai four people are eating wine under the grape frame in the back garden, the house guest to report, said: "Song Yi Si pegasus, to see Baozheng." Chao Gai welcomed out, Song Jiang said: "Brother, your incident." Baisheng was taken down by Jizhou, and gave up seven of you. The government sent a He patrol, with official documents to catch you, fortunately just caught me on duty, you quickly go!" Chao Gai was surprised, thanked Song Jiang, said outstanding hero name, led him to the back garden, with Wu, Gongsun Sheng, Liu Tang met. Song Jiang hurried away. Wu Yong asked, "Who is this? Why did you leave in such a panic?" Chao Gai said: "He is timely rain Song Jiang. If he hadn't tipped us off, we'd be in court tonight. ' He said Bai Sheng was put into death row and other things. Everyone was shocked, Wu Yong said: "Thirty-six plan to go." We packed up the jewelry and gold and silver, rushed to Shijie Village, met Sanruan, and then went to Liang Shanpo to join us." Chao Gai said: "This plan is good, I am afraid Wang Lun will not accept us." Wu Yong said, "We have plenty of treasure. Give some to us."

Song Jiang returned to his residence, tied his horse, came to the teahouse, led He Tao to the yamen, Shi Wenbin just sat in the hall. He Tao presented the document, Shi Wenbin saw, was surprised. Song Jiang said, "If I go to catch them during the day, I am afraid that if the news goes away, I must catch them at night." Shi Wenbin immediately summoned Zhu Tong, thunder horizontal, ordered them to take one hundred people, night with He Tao to capture Chao Gai and others. After dark, He Tao, Zhu Tong, Lei Heng each with his subordinates, rushed to Dongxi village outside Guanyin nunnies, discuss how to attack Chauljiazhuang. Zhu Tong said: "Our soldiers are divided into two ways, I take people to the back door ambush, you from the front door to fight in, I can see one catch one." Thunder cross heart understand, Zhu Tong and Chao Gai best, want to do favors.

All act according to the plan, quickly to Chao Gazhuang, I saw a wisp of fire, soon the flame flew into the air, the gold snake wild dance. The soldiers lit the fire, gave a cry, and rushed toward it, but they could not find anyone. At this time, the back door also shouted, calling for the front to catch people. This is Zhu Tong, thunder cross deliberately make a fuss, want to Chao Gai startled away.

When the official army came, Chao Gai still have some things not packed up, hear the official army came, life zhuang guest four down to fire, with Gongsun Sheng and so on the park knife, rushed to the back door. Zhu Tong deliberately let go of a road, let Chao Gai and others rushed out, and then chased up alone. Thunder cross came, deliberately look around, delay time. Zhu Tong caught up with Chao Gai and said, "I deliberately chased you so that others would not chase you again." You can settle down at Liangshanbo." Chao Gai thanked Zhu Tong. Zhu Tong listen to thunder cross also catch up, deliberately fell to the ground. Thunder cross came, Zhu tong said: "Day black road slip, slip and fall, flash left leg." The soldier helped Zhu Tong up, and Zhu Tong said: "The three thieves are going east, you go after them quickly." Soldiers see the head flashed legs, who dare to chase? After a bravado chase, they came back empty-handed. They made it to four more, caught a few neighbors and did not go Zhuang, returned to the county office. The county knows, the neighbors don't know. Zhuang guest is for Wu with, Liu Tang, Gongsun Sheng, three Ruan. Shi Wenbin wrote an official document, let He Tao return to Jeju.

He Tao returned to Jeju and reported to the governor that the thieves had fled to Shijie Village. The governor knew that the terrain of Shijie village was sinister, and the water port was Luang everywhere, and He Tao led a patrol to catch a thief, set up five hundred military horses, and many public officials went straight to Shijie Village. People came to the lake, won many civilian boats, let the water sergeants row, split up to arrest three ruans, but not a. He Tao see the lake is full of branches, for fear of scattered forces, be broken by thieves each, let some sergeant watch the horses, brigade divided by hundreds of ships, to search for three Ruans.

After a few miles of water, a boat emerged from the reeds. Someone said: "This is Ruan Xiaowu." He Tao command put arrows, Ruan small five hand OARS, a head into the water. They had not gone far before another boat came along. Someone said: "Standing on the bow is Ruan Xiao Qi." He Tao ordered people to catch up. Ruan small seven with a point of steel gun support, the boat also seems to fly through the small bay. The soldiers rushed for a while, and the water became narrower and narrower. He Tao ordered off the ship ashore, the shore is full of reeds, can not find the way. He Tao ordered two or three men to explore the road, but they did not return for a long time, and sent five men to explore the road, but they did not return for a long time. When He Tao saw that it was already late in the day, He was anxious. He got on the boat and let some wise men row. After traveling about five or six miles, he saw a man on the shore coming with a hoe. He Tao asked, "Did you see the two boatmen?" The man said, "They're fighting in the woods over there." He Tao let the boat near the shore, the two men had just gone up, the man waved his hoe, and killed one of them. He Tao was taken aback and was about to go ashore when suddenly a man came out of the water, grabbed He Tao's legs and pulled him into the water. The man on the shore came up to the boat with a hoe and killed all the men. The man in the water dragged He Tao on the shore, but Ruan Xiaoseven, the hoe is Ruan Xiaoer. The brothers tied He Tao up, threw him into the cabin, and threw his body into the water. Out of the reeds came several men, each rowing away in a small boat.

Patrol with officers and soldiers, until it was dark, did not see He Tao back, is anxious, I saw a gust of wind blowing, then reed leaves on fire, tailwind straight to burn over. The officers and soldiers hurriedly boarded the ship, but because the ship was too narrow and crowded, the fire burned to the ship in an instant. Then look at several more boats on the water, piled on the firewood. Fire, into the fleet, the fire is getting bigger and bigger. Officers and soldiers have no way to escape, had to jump into the water, the water is full of mud, officers and soldiers stuck in, can not pull out the legs. At this time, many brave men were killed and the officers and soldiers were frozen to death in the mud. Ruan Xiaoer mentioned He Tao from the cabin, cursed: "You are the stupid worm that harms the people of Jizhou Prefecture, should have broken you into pieces, but also let you send a message to the governor that dog official: let alone you a small governor, that is, CAI Taishi personally come, I also help him twenty or thirty transparent holes!" Ruan Xiaoqi took He Tao, threw him in the boat, rowed to the main intersection, and said: "Five hundred people are dead, you can't go back like this, I'll leave a mark for you." With that, he pulled out his sharp knife, cut off both of He Tao's ears, and let him go.

All the good men met at a place, with many fishermen, came to Zhu GUI Hotel, explain the purpose of coming. Zhu GUI shot the sound of arrows, sailed across the mountain and took the people across the lake. Wang Lun had opened the door and led the leaders down the mountain. They all gave their gifts and came to the gathering hall. Chao Gai explained the purpose of coming, Wang Lun said: "First not busy to say the matter of joining."
