Chapter 16 Chapter Nine: Wisdom Trial

Let's say that Zhao Hu went to inquire about the four heroes of Huzhou under the order of Duke Su, and went straight to Dezhu's mansion. After wandering around for a long time, there was no opportunity to take advantage of it. Zhuang must be empty, why not go to check it out, or find something.Zhao Hu made up his mind and went straight to Xiangyun Village.Before arriving at Dezhuang, Zhao Hu saw no one around, so he climbed up a high wall in a corner, entered the courtyard, and hid himself at the foot of the wall.But in the courtyard, under the big tree, four or five servants gathered around, fighting to weave money, yelling at each other, very happy, how can you care about other things?Zhao Humao walks around, enters the side room, and then turns into Sixiong's room.The room was clean and tidy, and there was no one there.Zhao Hu said happily: "Sure enough, Sixiong is not here."Searched and found nothing important.

Zhao Hu muttered something in a low voice, and was about to get out, when he suddenly heard footsteps coming into the room from far and near.After Zhao Hu hid himself in the wooden cabinet, he heard the man swearing and swearing, thinking that he had lost everything, but the others refused to borrow some money from him.The servant went straight into the side room, and Zhao Hu followed him quietly, but saw that the servant entered a bedroom, went straight to the head of the bed, bent down to touch the bottom of the bed, and took out a wooden box after a while. Come, remove the wooden pin, open the box, and see some scattered silver and copper coins in it.The servant was about to take some out, when he suddenly felt something strange behind him, and was about to look back.Zhao Hu had already rushed over and put a bright steel knife on his neck, the servants had already been frightened out of their wits.

Zhao Hu shouted in a low voice: "Don't shout. Otherwise, I'll kill you." The servant cried and said, "The good man spares his life." Zhao Hu said, "Where are the four heroes in Huzhou?" The servant said, "The four masters of my family are not in the village. If a good man wants to see him, he can go to Master Zhu's house." Zhao Hu said angrily: "The four of them did a good job! Let me ask you, did the four of them steal the pearl of the Huzhou government office?" The servant repeatedly Shaking his head, he said: "This has never happened before." Zhao Hu sneered, shook the steel knife in his hand a few times, and said in a fright: "It's better not to invite it, and cut off your nose first." The servant said anxiously: "A good man, please spare the villain. The villain is just a low-class domestic slave, how can he know such secrets." Zhao Hu said: "The four of them are moving in a secret way, do you know what they are doing?" The servant said: "The villain never knew." Zhao Hu said: "Have you ever heard what the four of them said about people and things?" The servant thought about it: "The villain only heard the fourth master talk about Yin Xiaoliu. I think he is looking for He, within two days, the villain heard that Yin Xiaoliu was dead." Zhao Hu thought to himself, "I already expected that Yin Xiaoliu was killed by Huzhou Sixiong.He said again: "Have you ever heard the four of them talk about Lu Suo, the shopkeeper of the antique shop?" The servant shook his head and said, "I haven't heard that."

Zhao Hu was about to turn around and back out when he suddenly heard a sneer from behind him, he was so startled that his soul came out of his shell, he quickly retreated a few steps, turned around and sealed the door with the steel knife.Looking up, he saw a person at the door outside the room, dressed in a black robe, with a swollen face, sinister and hideous.Zhao Hu didn't wait for the man to say anything, he flew towards him, waved his knife, and "cut the mountain to save his mother".When the man saw that the knife was coming, he quickly flew back more than ten feet.Zhao Hu's saber fell to nothing, he jumped out of the room, and he slashed at the man's left shoulder obliquely with "White Snake Spit Letter".The man waved his hands, and went straight to meet the steel knife, but it turned out to be a pair of fine steel judge's pens.Zhao Hu waved his saber falsely, intending to get away, but when he looked back, he saw that there were already servants all around, each armed with knives, guns and sticks, all of them staring at each other.Zhao Hu secretly called something bad.

I saw a middle-aged man, about forty years old, with a scimitar in his hand. He came close and shouted: "Who are you? How dare you come to Xiangyun Village to make trouble. Could it be that you are afraid to eat a leopard?" Zhao Hu With a sneer, he said, "Are you waiting for the four heroes of Huzhou?" The middle-aged man said: "You still have some eyesight, and you know me and me. I am the boss, and the surname Wu Mingsheng is the one in front of you. The third one is the judge Yuan Tian Yuan." Zhao Hu smiled and said, "Did the Second Master and Fourth Master ever be here?" Yuan Tian said: "It's right behind you." Zhao Hu looked back, but saw both sides of the wall. There is one person each, one is tall and thin, with a hideous face, holding a sharp sword in his hand;Wu Sheng laughed and said: "Those two are the life-chasing sword Yu Ding and the hook-ming man Buren. Dare I ask the hero Gao's name? Where is the fairy house?" Zhao Hu laughed all over his face and said: "Xiao Qi, The word in the word is easy to speak, and I call it an iron-faced tiger. Xiao has heard of the four great names of Huzhou, all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts. They are all very good. As the saying goes, you can’t see once.” The judge Yuan Tian sneered and said: “Still slipping my tongue, I only think that we are idiots. Who are you? Why don’t you tell me quickly, so as not to suffer from flesh and blood.”

Zhao Hu was waiting to speak.But I saw a servant approaching, close to Wu Sheng, whispering in his ear.After hearing this, Wu Sheng smiled slightly, suddenly became murderous, and shouted: "It turns out that it is Mr. Tolerance of the government office. I have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, so I will offend you." After finishing speaking, he winked at Yuan Tian.Yuan Tian understood, and flew forward, stabbing Zhao Hu with two fine steel judge pens.Governor Zhao Hu has been exposed, so he has to fight.He didn't wait for Yuan Tian to fall, he stood up and slashed straight with the saber, this move is very dangerous, as if disregarding the opponent's weapon.Yuan Tian didn't expect Zhao Hu to respond in such a way, the judge stabbed his shoulders straight, if he didn't dodge, he would definitely hit him.It's just that Zhao Hu took the risk and stabbed with a sharp blade. If he didn't retract his body, he would stab through his stomach and back and die in hell.Yuan Tian almost broke out in a cold sweat, the judge pen protected the door, stepped aside, almost fell down.Unexpectedly, Zhao Hu's move was a false move, and with his backhand, he wiped Wu Sheng's neck away.

Shocked, Wu Sheng retreated a few steps, swung his knife to block, and fought with Zhao Hu.On that side, Yu Ding and Bu Ren came to help each with their own weapons.Yuan Tian regained his composure, was furious, and turned around to fight.Five people fight together, it is very vicious.As the saying goes: It is difficult for a good man to fight with four hands, and it is difficult for a bad tiger to fight against a pack of wolves.Although Zhao Hu is brave, how can he defeat the Huzhou Four Heroes?The more he fought, the more tired he became. In the melee, the steel knife was released.Surrounded by the four heroes with swords, they all rushed forward, Zhao Hu said anxiously: "My life is over." He closed his eyes, waiting to die.

Yuan Tian drank Sanxiong and ordered Zhao Hu to be tied up and taken to the back room.A servant had already presented the instruments of torture.Yuan Tian held a sharp knife with a cow's ear in his hand, stripped his shirt, and said in a vicious voice: "Who ordered you, a bunch of birds? What is your intention?" Zhao Hu just sneered.Yuan Tian said angrily: "You can be stubborn, if Master Yuan doesn't believe you, you don't speak." He waved the sharp knife.Zhao Hu screamed, and a bloody mouth suddenly appeared on his chest, and blood gushed out.Yuan Tian shouted: "Master Yuan asked you, did you steal the things that were lost in Lord Zhu's mansion?" Zhao Hu said angrily, "You stole the jewels lost by Mr. Su?" Yuan Tian was stunned and said: "That pearl..." Just as he was about to say it, Wu Sheng shouted, "I will take care of Master Zhu. I want gold and silver, and silver and silver. Why is it so rare for a pearl? The pearl of the government office was stolen, it should be those It was done by thieves who were greedy for money." Zhao Hu said: "Xiao was ordered by Lord Yasu to secretly track down the whereabouts of the thieves and the pearl. I heard people say that you and the four heroes may have something to do with this case, so I came to investigate." Wu Sheng said: "Master Xiao is wrong. How can you believe the rumors of outsiders. Wu can hear people's words, and the pearl was obtained by a flying chivalrous thief." Zhao Hu laughed and said: "But I have wrongly blamed the four masters. I hope the four masters are Haihan "Wu Sheng smiled and said: "Forgive me for being rude, I have offended you so much. Third brother, hurry up and untie Xiao Ye and escort Xiao Ye home." Yuan Tian sneered, with a fierce look in his eyes, and slammed the bull-eared sharp knife towards him. Zhao Hu pinched his chest...

Let's say Mr. Su had dinner and was chatting with his wife.When Su Ren came to report, the only county magistrate, Mr. Qin Congbi, asked to see him.When Su Gong arrived in the hall, Qin Congbi stepped forward to greet him, and the two saluted and sat down.Su Gongdao: "I don't know what is the urgent matter of Master Qin?" Qin Congbi bowed and said, "I am here to plead guilty." Su Gong was surprised and said, "Why did Master Qin say that?" , Not defending loyalty and treachery, so that he was instigated by villains to help the tyrant to abuse. This is also a crime of humble office." Su Gong wondered: "What is the crime of Mr. Qin?" Qin Congbi took out a folded book in his sleeve, presented it to Su Gong, and said: "It's been two years since I came to Huzhou County to take office. All the acts of being bribed by wealthy gentry and merchants and facilitating others' self-interest are all written on it. During the period, there was also a case of Mingzhu being involved. I don't know the reason for this. Zhu Shanyue repeatedly begged someone to inquire about the movement of the government office, as well as Mr. Su's words and intentions. The humble position is hindered by affection, so there are many leaks."

Su Gong didn't look at the notebook, and said with a smile: "So, Mr. Qin already knew about the person who stole the pearl?" Qin Congbi said: "I didn't know before. The day before yesterday, that Zhu Shanyue came to the county government to ask for a lowly position. It's important to discuss things. Only after hearing this did he realize that he sent someone to steal the pearl!" Su Gong said with a smile, "Why did he talk to you about this?" Qin Congbi said, "That's the same way for a lowly official to ask him, Zhu Shanyue said. "My lord, I don't know. That Lu Suo likes to hide antique treasures, and seeing strange things is like fate. He heard that there are such pearls, so he wanted someone to steal them. Zhu Shanyue's four men, called Huzhou Four Heroes, are quite capable. The pearl was stolen by these four people." Su Gong said: "Zhu Shanyue, what do you want to do?" Qin Congbi said: "Zhu Shanyue never expected that this matter would become such a big deal, and the government will investigate very strictly. I don't know what to do. Stop." Su Gong said: "How can you speak?" Qin Congbi said: "The lowly official was shocked when he heard about it, and only said: It is better to confess the truth and hand over the pearl. Zhu Shanyue hesitated to speak, and remained silent for a long time , It was difficult to make a decision, so I said my goodbyes and went back. After thinking about it over and over again, I know that I have misbehaved and neglected my duty, so I came to the government office and am willing to ask the adults to punish me."

Su Gong said with a smile: "as the saying goes: people are not sages, who can do nothing? It also says: no gold is pure, no man is perfect. Why should Mr. Qin blame himself? There is a saying: people are valuable because they know themselves. Mr. Qin doesn't know It is brilliant." Qin Congbi sighed and said: "Master Su is filthy and magnanimous. Thinking of me, Qin Congbi, who came from a poor family in a white house, lost his father in his early years, and studied poetry and books hard since he was a child. It took ten years of hard work to achieve the fame we have today. When I took office, my old mother sent me off, saying only: To be an official, you must be honest and love the people, and you must not let the people insult your ancestors. When you are in office, you will be humble and fearful, thinking day and night, daring not to make mistakes. White-haired mother. It’s just that after a long time, you will be estranged. If you spend the whole day in the company of rich gentry and rich merchants, accompanied by good wine and beautiful women, how can you resist the demons? Ping, drifts with the current; or is the mainstay, hits the water in the middle; or is a side branch, joins the pollution. All these, or quiet and inaction, or no end, or glory and wealth. When you are in it, you can’t help yourself. I often think about these when I am humble. I am ashamed of myself and fearful." Su Gong said: "The sage said: Human nature is inherently good. Master Qin said this, which shows that the benignity has not disappeared. The ancients said: It is not too late to make up for it. Fortunately, very fortunately! The Buddha said: "The Sea of ​​​​Bitters Boundless, turning back is the shore. Now Master Qin has turned his head and reached the shore." Qin Congbi sighed after hearing this. At the time of Zichou, the world was dark and silent, and the sound of dogs barking was occasionally heard.Su Ren suddenly woke up with a start, jumped up, listened carefully, and vaguely heard someone shouting and knocking on the door.Identify his voice, it seems to be Li Long.Hurriedly out of the room, approaching the gate of the courtyard, he said loudly: "But Mr. Li?" The people outside the courtyard said: "It's exactly. Mr. Su, open the door quickly, and tell me something urgent." Su Ren pulled down the latch, The courtyard door was opened, Li Long was put in, and asked: "It's midnight, what's the urgent matter?" "At this moment, why not talk about it tomorrow morning?" Li Longdao: "To be honest, something happened to Mr. Zhao Hu and Mr. Zhao." Surprised, Su Ren stopped talking and went straight to the wing. Su Gong has also woken up, put on his clothes and left the room, Su Ren whispered to each other.Su Gong only said, "where is Li Long?" Su Ren led Li Long to see him.Li Long said: "Zhao Hu will be killed soon." Su Gong said in surprise: "Where is Master Zhao now?" Li Long said: "Now the yamen."Three or four yamen servants were busy, and Zhao Hu was lying on the bed in that room, his body was covered with cuts and bruises, he was dying, and the sound of moaning was barely audible.Su Gong got close to the bed and called out in a low voice.Zhao Hu opened his eyes, unable to speak.Su Gong asked: "Have you ever called the Langzhong?" Li Long said: "I have already ordered someone to go." Not long after, a servant of the yamen brought a Langzhong to him. The serious problem is just physical weakness and some trauma to the flesh, but fortunately no bones and internal organs were injured, just a few days of recuperation and rest are all it takes. Su Gongan calmed down, thanked the good doctor, and asked everyone before and after.Li Long sighed: "I don't know the reason. I only know that Mr. Zhao investigates the case and often doesn't return at night. I don't care. It's the same today. Just now, I was sleeping soundly when I was suddenly hit by a loud noise." When I woke up, I heard someone yelling again." Su Gong said: "What is the noise? What is the yelling?" Li Long said: "I don't know what it was, but I heard someone shouting: "Get up quickly! Get up quickly! Hurry up!" Yes, hurriedly took the waist knife and rushed out. Looking at the courtyard, there was no one. All the brothers rushed out one after another. One of them had sharp eyes and saw a vague mass on the ground. He was close enough to go, but found that it was only one person. We were suspicious of deceit, and shouted many times, but there was no response. I took a lantern and took a photo, and it turned out to be Mr. Zhao Hu! I saw that his skin was torn, his body was covered in blood, and he was almost silent." Su Renqi said: "Mr. So, how can you shout loudly?" Li Long said: "When I went to see the door, it was actually broken. The sound must be the sound of breaking the door. There seems to be someone else who broke the door and shouted." About half an hour later, Zhao Hu woke up, and Li Long fed him some porridge and rice. He waited for him to settle down before he opened his mouth and said, "I am ordered by my lord to go to investigate the four heroes of Huzhou, sneak into Xiangyun Manor, and find the four heroes' living room. I found out. It happened that a member of the family came over, so he grabbed him and questioned him again and again. The guy only said that Yin Xiaoliu had something to do with Sixiong, but he didn't know about the rest. He was about to quit, but unexpectedly, his whereabouts had already been spotted by Sixiong. Wanting to seize the road and escape, but was captured by them because they were outnumbered. The four heroes tied up their humble positions and interrogated them severely. But I dealt with them and never revealed a word. The four heroes became so angry that they wanted to stab someone with a knife die." "When the knife stabbed, I said in a humble heart: My life is over. I just closed my eyes, but when my life was at stake, I suddenly heard someone say: "Wait a minute." I opened my eyes hurriedly, and saw a person coming in. It's Zhu Shanyue's steward, Anfu. Anfu said, "Third Master, please be calm. It would be too hasty to kill him. You must ask more seriously, or you may be able to ask some important questions." The third master Yuantian scolded Said: "This guy has a tight mouth, and he refuses to speak." Anfu said, "The third master handed him over to An, and An has his own way to make him speak." Na Yuantian said: "It's so good, I myself Go drink.' That Anfu said with a smile at the humble official, "Do you know the results of Yin Xiaoliu and Lu Suo? If you don't tell the truth, they are the same as the two of them." The humble official sneered and said, "Mr. Suffer death.' That Anfu ordered my hands to be bound, and I was suspended high, only the toes of my remaining feet could touch the ground, and it was very difficult. This lasted for two or three hours." "Then Anfu brought another group of people over, stripped me of my clothes, and said, 'Have you ever thought about it?' I was already in so much pain, I gritted my teeth and said, 'What kind of a man is he who is so talkative? I am greedy for life and afraid of death. Rat, if you frown and scream, you are not a real man." Then Anfu said: "What a man." After saying that, he ordered his subordinates to draw dozens of bloody mouths on me, and then put salt on it. Shaking wildly. Then he was beaten with whips and sticks. For about an hour, the humble official didn't say a word. Anfu sneered and said, "What a man!" After saying that, he withdrew and went out, leaving only three evil slaves. Those three had already Tired, cursing, laying down on their own, ignoring me." "At that time, my whole body was numb, and I was already fainted. I was in a daze, and suddenly heard a few low cries. When I opened my eyes, I saw a man in black in the prison cell, holding a steel knife, and stabbed the The three evil slaves died. I was shocked, happy and suspicious. The man in black cut off the rope, let me down, untied the rope that bound his hands, and carried me back with his back. In the dark, he jumped again. There were two people, all of whom were masked with black scarves. The three of them worked together to rescue me from Xiangyun Village. I leaned on the shoulders of one of them and said, "Zhao never forgets the kindness of a hero who saved his life. Dare I ask my benefactor, Gao's surname?" Great name, I will be grateful in the future." The man said: "When the road is uneven, draw your sword to help. How can you say thank you for a trivial matter. It is not worth mentioning. "I begged repeatedly, but the three people just refused to say anything. One said: "The government office is here." The other two rushed forward and opened the gate. The man carried me back to the courtyard and said, "I will put Master Zhao here." One said loudly Shouted: 'Get up quickly.' Then the three of them retreated quietly." Everyone was amazed.Li Longdao: "What are the origins of those three heroes? It's so puzzling." Su Gong said: "They don't want to tell, why should we force it? I think one day, we will find out. The current strategy should be Quickly arrest the Huzhou Four Heroes and bring them to justice. Mr. Zhao escaped, and the matter has been revealed. The Huzhou Four Heroes must be frightened, and they may hide or flee. If this is the case, it will be difficult. go along. Su Gong ordered Wu Jiang to summon the government servants, about 30 people, and urgently wrote an official document, ordering Li Long to go to Weisi quickly.After reading the official document, the Fu Wei immediately mobilized more than a hundred horse archers and soldiers to the Fuya.Fu Wei met Su Gong, and then two groups of people quietly rushed to Xiangyun Village and surrounded him.Li Long and Wu Jiang climbed over the wall and opened the door.Su Ren led people into the village. But Anfu and Sixiong were very annoyed when their interrogation failed, and they were drinking and guessing in the front hall.Wu Sheng called for five prostitutes to hug and have fun.Anfu was suspicious, so he asked his servants to inquire about the situation of extorting a confession.When the servant arrived at the cell, he saw the three servants lying on the ground, dying, and Zhao Hu had long since disappeared.The servant returned the report, and An Fu was shocked when he heard it.Na Yuantian pushed the prostitute away, furious, and said, "I wish you would not listen to my words, how can this happen if you kill that fellow with a knife?" Wu Sheng asked anxiously, "What can I do?" Torture is definitely not far away. You can make people search around." Wu Sheng nodded, leading Sanxiong and his servants to find him. About an hour later, the four heroes went back to the village, but there was no news.An Fu said: "That guy may be hiding somewhere. It's dark at night and it's inconvenient to search. It's better to look for it after dawn." I already know about us, so what if I report to the government?" An Fu said: "It makes sense. This matter is of great importance, so we should not take it lightly. According to An's intention, first go to see Master Zhu with Master Wu, Instead of making plans, let's discuss countermeasures." Yu Ding said: "How should we deal with it?" An Fu said: "Second Lord, you can rest assured. In the city of Huzhou, in the eyes of Master Zhu, big things are nothing but big shit. Who can reach him? You wait and rest first, Master Zhu will make his own arrangements tomorrow." Yu Ding, Yuan Tian, ​​and Bu Ren are heroes in the end. At the time of the ugly card, there was loud shouting outside the room, Sanxiong woke up startled, turned over and got out of bed, took their weapons and rushed out of the room.Yuan Tian yelled: "What's the matter?" A family of servants rushed in, terrified, and said, "Officers and soldiers have come to kill you." , waved the judge pen, and jumped into the courtyard.Yu Ding and Bu Ren didn't have time to stop them, so they had to follow behind.There are a lot of people in the courtyard, and all the servants and servants hold torches, which illuminate the courtyard like daytime.Already, more than 20 archers bent their bows and set their arrows, waiting for orders. Li Long held a steel knife in his hand, stepped forward and said: "The four heroes of Huzhou are bold, they have no law, lynching tolerance, and murdering people. If you don't hurry up, you will be arrested!" Yan Luo Palace is here." Yu Ding whispered behind him: "The officers and soldiers are powerful, and they have archers. You can't force them out. It's better to go to the backyard." Bu Ren said: "Second brother is right." Sanxiong retreated back to the room, Walking through the hall and reaching the backyard, I was not surprised.It turns out that the lieutenant of the government had led his troops to guard the marquis for a long time, and most of the servants in the village were bound.Yuan Tian was shocked and said: "Wolf in front and tiger in back, what can I do?" Bu Ren said: "There are dozens of people in the area, and the three of my brothers will fight together, and there may be a chance." Yu Ding said in fear: "Don't take it by force. If the three of my brothers are killed or injured, how can we survive? It is better to throw away the blade and capture them. When Lord Zhu and elder brother know about it tomorrow, they will have their own way to save them." Yuan Tian said angrily, "I, the four heroes of Huzhou, stand up to the sky, why are they like this? ? If the rumor spreads out, wouldn’t the online friends laugh at it? Either the fish will die or the net will be broken.” After speaking, he yelled sharply and flew to kill him. Fu Wei sneered, and shouted: "Bold madman, hooting and raging, arrogant." He opened his bow and released an arrow, and the arrow shot out like a shooting star.Yuan Tian's eyes were sharp and his body was quick, he dodged to the side, dodged the arrow, and was about to speak, but unexpectedly another arrow flew towards him, unable to dodge, hit his right leg, screamed, and fell to the ground.Fu Wei waved his hand and shouted: "Take it down quickly." All the officers and soldiers rushed up.Bu Ren was furious, he took out three willow-leaf flying knives from his waist, and was about to fly out.Yu Ding hurriedly stopped him, saying: "It's absolutely impossible. Once the knife is struck, the three of my brothers will all become hedgehogs." Bu Ren had no choice but to throw down the double hooks and throw the knife.The three were captured. Su Gong thanked Fu Wei, and Fu Wei led his troops back.They also ordered Li Long, Wu Jiang and others to escort Sanxiong to the cell, and Sanxiong was locked in the same room.Su Gong ordered Wu Jiang to fetch Sanxiong's shoes, and took three pieces of white paper, rubbed the images one by one, and then carefully identified them, saying: "It turned out to be him." Li Long and Wu Jiang were puzzled.Su Gong ordered Sanxiong to be interrogated, and ordered to bring a jar of fine wine and five or six catties of dried meat.Li Long and Wu Jiang were even more puzzled. The three heroes were imprisoned in a room. Because the yamen servants took away the shoes, they were very puzzled, whispered and discussed countermeasures.Yuan Tian was hit by an arrow in his right leg, the feather of the arrow went deep into the flesh, and had barbs, it cannot be pulled out by force, the pain was unbearable, and the wailing continued.Yu Ding and Bu Ren consoled softly.But hearing the sound, Wu Jiang invited three or four yamen servants to open the chain lock, only to say that I will be interrogated.All the yamen servants proposed Yu Ding and took him to the punishment room. Yu Ding saw that all the yamen servants were as fierce as wolves and tigers.There are many instruments of torture in the room, and I feel frightened.Mr. Su sat on the top of that compartment, and said with a smile, "But people call him the second master Yu Dingyu?" Yu Ding sneered and said, "So what?" Su Gong said, "Sit down." Ding didn't say much, and sat down by himself.Su Gong said with a smile: "Su came to Huzhou for the first time, and he has heard the names of the four heroes in Huzhou for a long time. They are all heroes. They are all chivalrous men." Hearing this, Yu Ding was very suspicious. meaning.Su Gong said again: "Can Er Ye Yu drink?" After that, he ordered three bowls of fine wine and a large piece of dried meat to be poured in front of him.Su Gong said with a smile: "Su has always respected heroes and knights. Yu Erye can drink it." Yu Ding looked around, puzzled in his heart, sneered, and didn't say much, he drank the three bowls of wine and gulped again eat meat.Su Gong pretended to be shocked and said: "You are so calm and composed in a prison cell. Master Yu is a real strong man. According to Su, even Jing Ke and Fan Kuai are no more than that." Some flattery.The left and right yamen servants are all clouded.About half an hour later, Na Yu Ding had already drank six or seven bowls of wine, his face was flushed, his brows were dancing, and he had forgotten himself in the execution room. When Su Gong saw that Yu Ding was drunk, he ordered him to be imprisoned in another cell, opposite to the original cell.Yuan Tian and Bu Renzheng were worried, and when they saw Yu Ding coming back, he was full of smiles and smelled of alcohol, and all the yamen servants were respectful, and they were very puzzled.Without waiting for the two of them to speak, the yamen servants shouted: "My lord has an order, bring Yuantian." After finishing speaking, four yamen servants dragged Yuantian out of the cell.When he arrived at the execution room, Yuan Tian couldn't understand it. Seeing all the evil government servants and instruments of torture, he couldn't help but feel chilled.Su Gong laughed: "You are the third master of Yuantian Yuan?" Yuantian said wickedly: "It's your grandfather."Mr. Su smiled calmly, and said: "Mr. Su heard Zhu Shanyue and Master Zhu talk about the third master Yuan, but we met today, and it is too late. The third master has suffered." After finishing speaking, he ordered the doctor to take the arrow and apply medicine for him.Yuan Tian was puzzled, didn't say much, and let him manipulate him.Afterwards, Su Gong said: "Su heard that Master Yuan is very skilled in martial arts, and a pair of judges' pens are superb. God sees sorrow, ghosts fear, and people in the green forest call life judges. But is it?" Yuan Tian sneered: "Yuan today Being plotted against by you, you can hit as you want, kill as you want, why bother talking?" Su Gong said with a smile: "Su has seen a lot of heroes and chivalrous men. They are called heroes, and most of them are weak-hearted and timid. Master Yuan is really a hero! Are you afraid of death?" Yuan Tian sneered.Su Gong said: "Today there are three bowls of poisonous wine and two or three catties of poisonous meat. Do you dare to drink it? Do you dare to eat it?" Yuan Tian laughed and said, "Even if Master Yuan dies, he will still be a wine and meat ghost. Bring it quickly. !" When the yamen servant brought the wine and meat, Yuan Tian hesitated for a moment, looked up to the sky and laughed, and ate and drank without any scruples.Su Gong praised: "Yuan Ye is really a hero. Zhu Ye has never lost his eyes. To tell you the truth, Yuan Ye, wine is not poisonous wine, meat is not poisonous meat, but to test your heart." Yuan Tian said yes Zhu Shanyue has a promise with Su Gong.Su Gong tried his best to flatter him, saying that Yuan Tian was so proud and proud, he didn't know why. Su Gong ordered the yamen servant to escort Yuan Tian back to his cell, only asking him to endure it for the time being.Naburen was already suspicious, and wanted to ask Yuan Tian what happened, but he saw that Yuan Tian was like Yu Ding, with a smile on his face, but full of wine and meat, and his wounded leg was wrapped and wrapped, and there was no pain, and he said: "Good wine is good. Meat." Zibao and Yu Ding share the same room.In the opposite cell, Bu Ren wanted to ask, but he felt strange, but he heard the yamen guard say: "My lord has an order, take Bu Ren." Four yamen guards escorted Bu Ren to the execution room.Bu Ren was full of doubts, entered the torture room, but saw a lot of torture tools, it was very gloomy.The other party's fine wine and dry meat made him even more suspicious. Su Gong shouted: "Bold Bu Ren, would you like to be tortured? Would you like to enjoy fine wine and dried meat?" Bu Ren heard the words, recalling the situation of Yu Ding and Yuan Tian, ​​he said in surprise: "How about torture? How about fine wine and dried meat?" Su Gongdao: "I ask you, come here one by one, you can enjoy delicious wine and dried meat. On the contrary..." Bu Ren was surprised: In this way, Yu Ding and Yuan Tian couldn't confess themselves?While being suspicious, Mr. Su smiled and said: "Si Ye Bu, as the saying goes: He who knows the current affairs is a hero. All heroes in the world follow the trend. Those who follow the trend will prosper, and those who go against the trend will perish. It can be seen whether the Second Master Yu and the Third Master Yuan "Bu Ren was startled and said: "Could it be that the second brother and the third brother have already...? Why are they so greedy for life and afraid of death?" Su Gong said with a smile: "Fourth Master Bu, you have a fool! Yu Er Grandpa and Yuan Sanye are smart people. In the world, one should not be too rigid, for if one is too rigid, one will be broken; How do you two talk about it?" Su Gong said: "The two of them have already told the front and back one by one. The two of them said: Huzhou Four Heroes are just being favored by others and driven by others. Zhu Shanyue is the mastermind behind the scenes!" Bu Ren was astonished. endlessly.Su Gong said again: "The two of them also said: The one who killed Lu Suo and Yin Xiaoliu was the Fourth Master Bu. The one who broke into the government office at night was also the Fourth Master Bu. He has nothing to do with the other three heroes." Bu Ren Doubtful: "The four of us are sworn brothers who lived and died together. How could the two of them speak like this?" Su Gong said with a smile: "Bu Siye's words are extremely ridiculous. As the saying goes: Brothers have the same fate, and when adversity comes, they will go their own way; it is also said: if people do not do it for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy it; You know what you have done, how can they be willing to bear with you? According to the criminal law of our Song Dynasty, the murderer pays with his life. Lu Suo and Yin Xiaoliu were killed by you, so you should pay for your life. What do you have to do with them?" Bu Ren said angrily: "The two of them really talked like that?" Su Gong took out two files and said, "This is the confession of the two of them, and there are fingerprints and marks. The two of them confessed: "It was you who killed Lu Suo. What to do: Chase and kill Yin Xiaoliu, all four heroes go to him, go to the Emerald Pavilion, look for Yin Xiaoliu, the four of you take him to the bank of the Longxi River, and kill him in a secluded place where no one is around. Whoever cuts off his head , it was you, Fourth Master Bu. Also, you broke into the mansion at night, explored the bookstore of the mansion, and secretly released the pearl. All these things were all done by you." Hearing this, Bu Ren said angrily: "Yu Ding, Yuan Tian Such a villain who sells friends and seeks glory. Bu Ren and you are incompatible. The one who killed Yin Xiaoliu was not Bu, but Yuantian." Su Gong said: "Where is Yin Xiaoliu's wife?" Bu Ren said "He was killed by Yuan Tian long ago. Rape first and then kill, and the body was buried in his manure cellar." Su Gong interrogated carefully, and Bu Ren confessed one by one, and then ordered him to sign the confession.After the trial, Li Long was ordered to choose another room to imprison him. Su Gongfu ordered Wu Jiang to interrogate Yu Ding and Yuan Tian.The two were drunk and their eyes were hazy, and the yamen guard poured cold water on their heads before they woke up.When Su Gong asked, the two tried their best to argue and kept silent.Su Gong presented Bu Ren as a confession, and the two were very angry, startled and timid, so they had to confess one by one.At this moment, all the yamen servants just woke up and were amazed. After the trial of Sanxiong, Li Long and Wu Jiang couldn't figure it out. They asked, "Why do you judge Bu Ren first, and then Yu Ding and Yuan Tian?" Judging Bu Ren, he left his heart and lost his mind. Lu Suo was killed. The government went to his house to inspect the scene and saw the murderer's footprints. It has become a habit of walking for many years. In this way, the inside and outside of the shoes are worn unevenly. Ordinary people's shoes are mostly worn on the outside. And those whose footprints are heavy on the inside and light on the outside, their knees tend to be inward. The state of Buren's walking in this house This is the case. The government has asked Zhao Hu. Among the four heroes, only Naburen is short in stature, and his shoes are smaller than the other three heroes. His footprints should be smaller. The government just inspected the shoes of the three heroes, and then It is for this reason; moreover, Lu Suo's death was caused by strange wounds, and the government couldn't understand it for a long time, but now seeing the double hooks that Bu Ren used, I just realized the solution. It turns out that Lu Suo died under the double hooks." Li Long sighed: "So let's break Bu Ren's mouth first, my lord is really clever." Wu Jiang said with a smile: "Bu Ren doesn't know, but it is Yu Ding and Yuan Tian who have confessed. My lord showed two scrolls of confession, what happened?" Su Gong said with a smile: "It's true. It's just a random book from the government, and it's just a random fingerprint. How can Bu Ren be discerning in his confusion?" Li Long said again: "How did my lord know that he broke into the government office at night? So what's the matter with hiding the pearl?" Su Gong smiled and said nothing. As dawn approached, Mr. Su approved an official document, ordering Li Long and Wu Jiang to summon all the government servants to arrest Zhu Shanyue, Wu Sheng, An Fu and others immediately.Li Long and Wu Jiang led people to Dezhu's mansion and surrounded him.A yamen servant came forward to call the door.The servant was sleepy and very annoyed. He opened the door and was waiting to ask.But Li Long rushed into the mansion like a stride, and all the servants rushed in.The servants shouted loudly, and the servants of Zhu's house came out of the courtyard one after another, shouting and asking: "How dare you break into Zhu's house privately?" Li Long held a steel knife, showed the official document, and said, "Feng Fu Yin My lord's decree is to arrest the criminals Zhu Shanyue, Wu Sheng, and An Fu, and the rest of the idlers stand aside to avoid being implicated." All the servants were terrified, and they were all worried about disaster, so they dared not speak again.Wu Jiang led people to search back and forth, but where are the three of them?Li Long called his family and servants and asked them one by one, but they all said they didn't know. Li Long and Wu Jiang had no choice but to lead people out of Zhu's residence and report back to Duke Su.Su Gong thought for a moment, and said: "That's all." Li Long and Wu Jiang said: "According to the humble position, we should post a list of wanted arrests everywhere, and open a sea arrest document to notify the four prefectures. If anyone is found, he will be arrested. "Su Gong said with a smile: "Zhu Shanyue, a wealthy silk merchant in Huzhou, is no ordinary person. He has a lot of wealth and power, and has many connections. How could he just leave? Besides, his family has not seen any movement, so he must be hiding somewhere , in order to seek shelter. Zhu Shanyue will definitely watch the changes quietly, if you are anxious, you will hide it, and if you are slow, you will come out. You don’t have to make a statement when you wait for the big one, and let it go explicitly, and then supervise it in secret.” Li Long and Wu Jiang agreed.
