Outlaws of the Marsh Chapter 15 Blood splatters the newly-Sweethearts House
In the blink of an eye more than a month, the heat gradually receded, the autumn wind cool. One day Shi Enzheng and Wu Song were sitting around, talking about some boxing sticks, when they saw some military men leading a horse and came to the shop and said, "There is an order from the governor, I have heard that Wu Du is a good man, let us invite him." A letter was handed in. Shi En saw, dark, Zhang Du Jian is my father's boss, Wu Song is a prisoner, also belongs to him, had to go. So Wu Song changed his clothes and towels, got on his horse, and went with the men.
Wu Song came to the city hall, dismounted from his horse, followed the army Han to the hall, and met Zhang Mengfang. Zhang Mengfang praised Wu Song some, to Wu song with him when the kiss followed, in the hall front porch, tidy up an earroom, let Wu song rest. From then on, Wu Song followed Zhang Mengfang, big and small officials and dignitaries wanted to see Zhang Mengfang, and Wu Song first gave gifts to Wu Song, Wu Song bought a rattan box and locked things inside.
In the twinkling of an eye, in the middle of August and autumn, Zhang Mengfang hosted a family dinner under the newly-weds Bird house in the backyard, drinking wine and enjoying the moon, so that Wu Song could also drink. Wu Song saw that Zhang Mengfang's women were all at the table, stood and drank a cup, and then he left. Zhang Mengfang said: "I take you as my family, sit down and eat together." Wu Song had to sit down diagonally. Zhang Du supervisor let servant girl to Wu song toast, eat a few cups, and let for big silver bell. Wu Song ate half drunk, gradually forgot the etiquette, only drink. Look at the moon getting higher, Zhang Du Zhen called a beloved servant girl, let her sing a song on the scene. The girl let go of her singing voice and sang Su Dongpo's "Water Tune Song. Midautumn". Zhang Du supervisor said: "Wu Song, this girl's name is Yulan, not only smart, singing and dancing, but also do a good needle and thread. I will betrothal her to you, and choose a good day for you to be married." Wu Song repeatedly thanked his resignation, but Zhang Du Jian insisted on allocating Yulan to Wu Song.
Wu Song drank more than ten cups, afraid of being rude after drinking, he thanked the governor and his wife and went back to his room. He only felt a little bloated, so he took a whistle, went out into the courtyard, and gave it a whirl. Looking at the moon in the middle of the day, when it was nearly three watches, I was about to go back to my room to rest, when I suddenly heard a cry in the back hall: "There are thieves!" Wu Song busy whistle stick to catch the thief, saw Yulan. Yulan said: "The thief went to the garden." Wu Song rushed to the garden, threw out a bench in the darkness, tripped him, and immediately jumped out seven or eight soldiers, and could not help but tie him up. Zhang Mengfang shouted, "Bring the thief!" The Jun Han beat Wu Song into the hall with one stick at a time. Wu Song exclaimed, "I am not a thief, but Wu Song!" Zhang Mengfang, however, changed his face and cursed him so much that he ordered people to search Wu Song's room and found a lot of gold and silver vessels, about one or two hundred and twenty, from the rattan chest under the bed. Wu Song saw, dumbfounded, rational hard to say, only cry. Zhang Mengfang ordered people to seal the stolen goods, put Wu song in the confidential room, sent to the governor said, and made money.
The next morning, the governor was elevated to the hall, and the military Han took Wu Song to the yamen. Wu Song to defend, governor how to let him say? I want you to beat me down. Wu Song had to surrender, the governor then ordered someone to put him on heavy cails, escorted to death row. Wu Song so far know Zhang Mengfang deliberately frame him. The jailers took advantage of Zhang Mengfang, put shackles on his feet and hands, and tortured him all day. Grace get the news, busy back to the city, discuss with his father, take the silver to find Kang. Kang Prison head said: "Honestly, this matter is Zhang Tuanlian and Zhang Du supervised the plan, Jiang door God in Zhang Tuanlian home hiding." Up and down, Jiang door god all made money, will result in Wu song life, only one when the case ye Kongmu refused, so dare not start. You can rest assured that I will take care of Wu Song in prison, and you must ask someone to ask Ye Kongmu." Shishi left him a hundred taels of silver, and sent for Yekongmu a hundred taels of silver.
Ye Kongmu early knew that Wu Song was a good man, ate a lawsuit of injustice, and told the governor what happened in the happy forest, advised: "Zhang Du Jian, Zhang Tuanquan got the benefits of Jiang door God, but let adults do evil." Even if Wu Song really stole a lot of gold and silver, he should not be condemned to death." The governor let ye Kongmu change Wu song's crime.
Shi Grace through the Kang prison head, three times to the prison to visit Wu Song, Wu Song left silver, and beat the jailer, since Wu Song on the torture tools are relaxed.
To the end of the sixty day limit, the governor ascended to the court, the stolen property was returned to the original owner, the Wusong ridge rod twenty, the Enzhou. When beating the ridge staff, because the old guan ying had made money, the beating was not very heavy, so he took Wu Song for punishment and marched him out of the yamen. Two people took Wu song out of the city, walk not far, roadside hotel out of Shi Ento, and wrapped his head, hanging his arm. When Wu Song asked, it was Jiang door God and took the happy forest, wounded grace. Grace please two people eat wine, two people do not eat, send silver, two men do not, just evil words urge Wusong to go fast. Shi En took out two cotton-padded clothes, a bag of silver, wrapped them, tied them to Wu Song's waist, and hung two hot geese on the cang, secretly reminding Wu Song that the two public officials were up to no good.
Three people did not have a few miles, Wu Song heard the official whisper: "The two of them are not coming?" Secretly sneer in the heart, self-care tear cooked goose to eat. Within five miles, Wu Song had eaten up both geese and saw two men waiting by the road ahead, each with a knife on his waist and a knife in his hand. Two people and the public pass a glance, followed the three people behind. After walking a few miles, they came to a big river, over which there was a bridge with the words "Feiyunpu" written on the archway. Wu Song got on the bridge, stood down and said, "I want to clean my hands." Then the two who brought the sword came up. Wu Song shouted, "Go down!" One kick at a time, somersault into the water. The other turned to run, Wu Song is another foot, also plunged into the water. The two men were frightened and walked down the bridge. Wu Song shouted, "Where are you going?" A hard, put the flail apart, quickly catch up, a knife, the result of life.
When the two men reached the shore, Wu Song went up and cut one down, twisted the other by the head, and asked them where they came from. The man said quickly, "We are the apprentices of the God of Gate Jiang. Master and Zhang Tuanlian let the villains and the public harm the good men together." Wu Song asked, "Where is the Chiang Door God now?" The man said, "My master and Zhang Tuanlian are having wine in the Yuanyang upstairs of Zhang Du's house." Wu Song took up his sword and killed the man. He picked out one of the two waist swords, took the Piao sword, and ran back to Mengzhou City.
When Wu Song entered the city, it was already late. He reached the back wall of Zhang Duzhan's house, climbed over the wall, and hid in the stable. When the groom returned, Wu Song forced him with his sword and asked, "Where is Zhang Du Jian?" The groom trembled and said, "He is having wine with Zhang Tuanlian and Jiang Menshen in the newly-sweethearts apartment." Wu Song killed the stableman with a knife, took off his old clothes and threw them away, put on the new cotton-padded clothes sent by Shi En, took the plain sword and crossed the wall. Because he was familiar with the door, he touched the kitchen, two fire girls are complaining about waiting on them all day, and now can not rest, Wu Song went up, a knife a result.
Wu Song came to the newly-sweethearts house and crept up the stairs, only listening to Zhang Dujian, Zhang Tuanlian, and Jiang Menshen still talking. Three people waiting anxiously, but not return. Wu Song heard, not angry, lunge into, first cut over Jiang door God, and a knife results Zhang Tuanlian. Zhang Dujian hurriedly grabbed a chair, swinging up to fight Wu Song, was caught by Wu Song, and pushed, even people and chairs fell to the ground, was kicked over by Wu Song, also cut off the head, and then cut off Zhang Tuanlian's head. He saw that there was wine and meat on the table, and even ate several cups of wine, cut off a piece of clothing on the dead body, dipped it in blood, and wrote eight characters on the white wall: "The murderer beat the tiger Wu Song also." Then he crushed the gold and silver wine vessel, put it in his arms, and was about to go downstairs when he heard the lady downstairs say: "The official upstairs is drunk, go to someone to help him."
Only heard the sound of the stairs, two military Han rushed up, Wu Song blocked the way, one knife also killed. The lady asked downstairs, "What's all the fuss upstairs?" Wu Song ran down and chopped her with a knife. When he cut off her head, he could not cut it, and the edge of the knife was cut off. Wusong put on a knife and looked again, found two or three servants, also all half dead in the room, party satisfied, left the house.
Now the city gate was closed, Wu Song climbed over the wall, took off his shoes and socks and crossed the moat. It's four or three in the city. Walking for a while, the sky is already bright. Wu Song did not rest for a moment all day and all night, and the wound on his back was painful. Seeing a small temple in a forest, he ran into it, took off his bundle as a pillow, and lay down to sleep. Just as he was about to close his eyes, two hooks reached out of the temple and caught him, crowding four people in and tying a rope. Four people took the pack of knives, the Wusong dragged to the village. On the way he said, "This man is covered with blood; do not come as a thief." The four men dragged Wu Song into a room and tied him to a post. Wu Song saw that there were two human legs beside the stove, and he could not help but sigh secretly. It seemed that if he was dying, it would be better to surrender himself and get a hero's reputation.
