Gao Yameni swallowed his saliva, suppressed his shock, and said quickly: "The group of Shandong wealthy merchants that the child befriended, their caravans were robbed by Liangshanbo several times. Today, they were wandering around the capital and suddenly saw the second leader of the Liangshan bandits, the dwarf tiger god. Then I followed this guy downstairs, and it turned out that he was hanging out with Murong Yanda. Dad, please think about it, the magistrate of Qingzhou returned to the capital privately, and took Liang Shan Er with him. Isn't it suspicious? "
Gao Qiu frowned and said, "Murong Yanda said it himself. Qingzhou was conquered by strong men, and it was a man named Yan Shisanlang who rebelled on the battlefield and saved him."
Gao Yanei smacked his tongue after hearing this and kept shaking his head: "Daddy, daddy, that loud fart made by Murong Yanda is called a thief and a catch the thief! Just like when a child often bullies a woman, she is the one who seduces the child. It's all just a joke. How can he hide his habitual tricks from me? In fact, this matter is very clear, the Erlongshan Peach Blossom Mountain must be his confidant! "
Gao Qiu frowned and said nothing.
The more Gao Yanei spoke, the more plausibly he said: "Dad, please think about it, you have personally seen Hu Yanzhuo's martial arts. He is an opponent that he can't win. How can Thirteenth Lang of Birds and Swallows save people? It's obvious that they set up the stage themselves. Singing opera, Hu Yanzhuo was killed in a trap. Dad thought about it again, Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi were both my family’s enemies. Among the 400 military prefectures in the Song Dynasty, where could they not hide? Why did they all go to his Qingzhou at the same time? Even Liangshan, This guy is the one who supports me. Otherwise, why would the dwarf tiger god be called Thirteenth Lang Yan instead? And why would he work so hard to get an official position for him?"
Gao Qiu couldn't help but nodded after hearing this, then thought about it carefully, but then shook his head: "As a father, I still feel something is wrong. Murong Yanda has been an official for generations, and his sister is a high-ranking concubine. How can he, a scholar, rebel? Besides, he has rebelled. Yi, why are you going to Jiangnan?"
Gao Yameni saw that his father was stupid and stubborn, and he couldn't help but feel sad: "Father, you don't know about this. The ancestor of Murong Yanda was the emperor of the Yan Kingdom. The Qingzhou area was originally the hometown of the Yan Kingdom. He After being the magistrate there for a long time, he naturally remembered the majesty of his ancestors, so he felt rebellious! As for why he came to Jiangnan, humming, it was precisely because he was a sour boy with no guts. He wanted to rebel but had no courage, so he simply let go The grass bandits under his command attacked Qingzhou and used an excuse to escape, so that the grass bandits could start a rebellion. If the rebellion failed, he would remain unscathed and still be his uncle's prefect. If it became a big deal, he would come back and become the emperor! Otherwise, why would he bother to replace him? Is Wang Xiaohu asking for an official position? Is it just to make the bandits willing to work hard!"
When Gao Qiu heard what his son said was true, he couldn't help but nod his head, twirling his beard and thinking hard.
Gao Yanei was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "Father, you just want to think about it. If he succeeds in something big, he will definitely use those bandits. If Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, and Yang Zhi come to the capital to kill them, what will happen to me and my son?"
As soon as he said this, Gao Qiu couldn't help but feel frightened, and gritted his teeth and said: "That's all, my father has figured out the key. In fact, it only lies with the Thirteenth Lang Yan! If this person is indeed Wang Xiaohu, this Murong Yanda will only I’m afraid it’s really disloyal.”
Then he made up his mind: "My father's success depends entirely on the Holy Heart. Even if he is suspected of being disobedient, he is an uncle after all. How can I mess with him without permission? Then Wang Aohu and Grand Master Cai have a murderous feud, so it would be better for me." Go pay a visit to Master Cai and do him a favor so that he can stand out."
Gao Yanei was overjoyed when he heard this: "Sure enough, Jiang is still very old. Let Master Cai go take revenge, while my father and son sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."
Gao Qiu laughed loudly, patted Gao Yanei on the head and said: "Unexpectedly, my bastard son has made great progress. Without further ado, I, as a father, will go to Grand Master Cai's house for a visit."
After saying that, regardless of the night, he hurriedly rode on his horse, took a few of his subordinates, and went straight to Grand Master Cai Jing's house.
Cai Jing was over seventy years old at this time. The emperor worshiped him as Grand Master and Prime Minister, and granted him the title of Duke of Wei. Several of his sons and even his grandchildren became bachelors. He was considered a very popular minister and was full of nobles. His residence was much better than that of Gao Qiu's mansion. , ten times more magnificent.
Although Cai Jing is old, his desire for pleasure is not diminished. He was drinking and watching a dance when he suddenly heard Gao Qiu asking for an audience. He frowned and said, "This guy is coming to see you now. There must be something important, so I can wait in the living room."
Gao Qiu waited in the living room for a while. Cai Jing, wearing Taoist robes, walked in slowly. Gao Qiu was busy greeting him, and Cai Jing waved his hand to treat him with tea.
The guests and hosts took their seats, and Gao Qiu exchanged a few words without hesitation, and said smoothly: "Today Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou, suddenly came to visit. It was said that the grass bandits attacked the city, and he fled back to the capital, hoping to find a job as a peace officer in the south of the Yangtze River. Do."
Taishi Cai said noncommittally: "He has been running around a lot in the past two days. Humph, he abandoned the city and ran away from the magistrate. He is really loyal. But he is an official's brother-in-law. This is an official's family matter. I am waiting for outsiders. No need to say anything more.”
Gao Qiu knew that he had many eyes, so he was not surprised. He said with a smile: "What the old master said is an old man's advice to seek the country. This time Murong Yanda escaped and claimed to be a grass bandit named Yan Shisanlang to rescue him." , he came to the lower official’s office to find an official for this guy. However, the lower official also heard that this Thirteenth Lang of Yan was actually a pseudonym, and his real identity was the key criminal currently offering a reward for his capture, Liangshan Boer, the head of the family. The great thief king Dwarf Tiger, known as the ‘Dwarf Tiger God’!”
"Wang Dwarf Hu!" Cai Jing's eyes that seemed to be half-open suddenly widened with a terrifying glare. He sat up straight and said, "Is that Wang Dwarf Hu who killed my Xiaojiu? How dare this guy come to the capital?"
Gao Qiu was confused and said: "In general, this is the report received by the subordinates. There are many masters in Cai Taishi's sect. You will know after they are captured." He then informed Wang Aohu and Murong Yanda of their residences.
Cai Jing closed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes: "Come here, go and bring those scraps from Jiangzhou."
Not long after, several healthy servants in the mansion escorted six or seven people to the hall. As soon as the healthy servants let go, they fell to the ground exhausted one by one, begging for mercy.
Gao Qiu took a look and took a breath of cold air. These people were all wet, their skin and flesh were soaked to pieces, their wounds were covered with white flowers and maggots, they were as thin as dry firewood, and they emitted an astonishing stench. They were obviously in the water prison without knowing it. How long has it been locked up?
Cai Jing frowned, and immediately seven or eight servants rushed around. Dozens of exquisite celadon incense burners were placed around Cai Jing and Gao Qiu. The burning contents were sandalwood ice incense, ambergris cardamom, and wisps of incense. The mist sprayed out, immediately cutting off the unpleasant smell.
Cai Jing said calmly: "These are the Dutou and Yuhou of Jiangzhou. Bandits came to the city. They did not want to kill the enemy and serve the country. Instead, they abandoned their mission and ran for their lives. I captured them and locked them in a water prison to make them reflect on themselves."
Then he shouted in a low voice: "There is no need to argue. I want to ask you, there is a dwarf tiger god king in Liangshanbo, called Wang Dwarf Tiger. Do you know him?"
The people below rushed to answer: "If the Grand Master asked anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to recognize each other. This Wang Dwarf Hu is the most willing to come forward. He was the one who killed Mr. Cai Jiu. How could we not recognize it? Those thieves When he left the city, he stood high in the car and called the girls to follow him back to Liangshan to be used. He was short, fat and ugly, and I will never forget him once I see him."
Cai Jing's lips curved into a sneer and said: "In that case, when someone comes, you should identify him. If you can identify him correctly, I will be merciful and exempt you from the penalty of living."
The people were overjoyed when they heard this. They all cried and kowtowed, expressing endless gratitude.
Cai Jing then said to Gao Qiu: "Captain Gao, although there are several martial arts guards in my house, how can they be the opponent of the Liangshan thief? If he runs away and escapes from the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult again." Seeing that the Taiwei’s men are full of talents, like wolves and tigers, I gave up my old face and begged the Taiwei to capture this man. If he can avenge my son’s blood, the whole Cai family will be grateful."
Gao Qiu took a breath and said angrily: "You are indeed an old man and a ghost. I expected you to be big and stand out, but you didn't know that you kicked Zijin Guan backwards and kicked the anger back."
I was angry and helpless: that's all, even though I want to stand out, at least I'll do him a big favor. Besides, I only picked on the bandits and didn't ask Murong Yanda about anything. Whoever the bandits would drag out later would still be the old man's fault.
He stood up abruptly, clasped his fists, and said with a solemn face: "Master Cai Jiu is a talented person in the country. When he was persecuted, he was like a brother of the lower official. These tears of heartache and pain have been in the chest of the lower official for a long time. Today Even if we turn Bianjing upside down, we must capture the dog thief and sacrifice my brother Cai Jiu’s spirit in heaven!”
After Cai Jing heard this, he couldn't help but stand up, looked touched, and thanked him: "It's all thanks to the power of the Taiwei."
There are separate teachings: the Taiwei has excellent ball-handling skills, and the Taishi's leg skills are almost demonic. Every move he makes is a stunt, and every answer he makes is a wonderful move.
