Chapter 14 Shu Ye only went to Liangshan, and Chao Gai will be safe at the end of his life
It turned out that Wu Song and Xiao Er defeated Huang An and returned to the mountain stronghold to report. Chao Gai discussed with Song Jiang and saw that the official army was powerful. Although the Liangshan brothers were not afraid, if they wanted to go to war, they would definitely kill many people, whether it was Liangshan people or horses, the official army banned the army, and the Xiang brothers
Soldiers and rural soldiers are all sons of the common people, and most of them are local people. When the time comes, they will really bring trouble to the countryside. It is better to make peace with the officers and soldiers and let it go. But I think if I just taught the officers and soldiers a little lesson, what will happen to the soldiers?
They can go back to brag and falsely report their military exploits. But just now Wu Song and Xiao Er made a big show of boasting, and the officers and soldiers were in a state of embarrassment. How could Huang An deceive him? He would certainly add fuel to the fire by saying that Liangshan's troops are outnumbered, and Zhang Shuye
There was bound to be a conquest in person, so the mountain village had to prepare for the vigorous conquest by the official army. However, Chao Gai went to use some means to show some prestige to the official army, and was ready to make peace with the official army.
Unexpectedly, Chao Gai was hit by an arrow, something terrible happened, but fortunately he did not die immediately, so he reluctantly returned to the mountain, so he called Qi Songjiang and other brothers to repeat what he had said before.
He and Zhang Shuye discussed the matter.
Uncle Ye saw that the battle between the officers and soldiers in Liangshan disappeared without a trace, and the people were finally saved from ruin. He also saw that Chao Gai was about to die, but he couldn't help but feel desolate: "Chao Gai injured many people just now. Could it be that his hands and feet were broken, and there was no one left alive?"
If there is any danger of life, even if he is left disabled, he will not be left alive, and there is really enough way to escape. Fortunately, this person still has a breath and left such a legacy. If he died suddenly, the loyalty of the remaining people would be gone, and there would be no enmity with the government.
The outcome, not to mention the personal enmity with me, is bound to be irreconcilable and the consequences will be endless. Looking at it this way, Chao Gai is really a great person! I saw that he was arrogant at the time, and in a moment of righteous indignation, he shot with a bow, which was really reckless.
”.
Shu Ye was feeling ashamed in his heart when he raised his eyes and saw Chao Gai's earnest eyes. He hurriedly asked questions before he died. Knowing that he cared too much, he hurriedly replied: "The leader of Chao Village can send all the brothers back to their fields today. Zhang Shuye will only be like this in the future."
Here, I will protect the brothers and their families from being in trouble, and I will bear all the responsibility." He drew out an arrow and broke it in two: "If you violate these words, you will be shot like this. The leader of Chao Village is concerned about others first, and I feel sorry for this.
, I am very grateful. The leader of Chao Village was hurt by me. Today is a big event. If any of the brothers are not angry, they can ask Uncle Ye to settle the accounts alone." Chao Gai seemed to be greatly relieved and said resolutely:
"Chao Gai is looking for an answer to today's knot. If there are brothers seeking revenge from Mr. Zhang, it's because I, Chao Gai, can't afford it."
Wu Yong looked at Chao Gai's difficulty in speaking, and couldn't help but said: "Our brothers are revolting because they are unjust about the heavy taxation and unreasonable oppression by the government. In today's world, corrupt officials are full of yamen, and local ruffians are rampant in the countryside. The common people are suffering, and all the people are suffering.
I have never seen Mr. Qingtian come down to ask questions. We, the common people, had no choice but to step forward on our own so that we could vent our anger, but what we did was a conscientious act. When Mr. Zhang led his army, we were also very angry. How many injustices have happened in the world?
The official did not care, but came to criticize us after we took charge of him. We act as the flag says, 'do justice for heaven, eliminate violence and bring peace to the good.'
In order to prevent the fellow villagers from suffering, the masters of Chao Village and Song Village have already made plans to send the brothers back to their fields. They will no longer take care of this unfair matter, not that they are afraid of anyone. If the government is entangled in it to the end, we might as well accompany it to the end. Chao Village
The master finally persuaded the brothers to stop, and then tried some tricks to find a step for Mr. Zhang to walk down gracefully. He didn't expect Mr. Zhang to be so good at archery that Master Chao could not resist him. Brother Chao forced himself back to the mountain, fearing that he would not be able to stay without him.
"My brothers are determined to take revenge and make enemies forever, so I asked Lord Zhang to go up the mountain in vain, begging for mercy and asking for mercy. This is the best thing that can be done. If you don't see it as feasible, you can't do it."
Uncle Ye was angry and ashamed when he heard Wu Yong's words. Where thieves are everywhere, there are few upright officials. They are all forced by the government. Only then did the people take action. The foundation of redress lies in administration and governing officials. Chao Gai died in the matter before his eyes.
Now, it is a pity. If the disaster of war can be eliminated because of this, Chao Gai will be a great meritorious deed. Chao Gai will not complain because of his loss of life. I should not be weak to this person, and I will eventually succeed in his mission. There will be many difficulties ahead.
Chao Gai took a step closer to bear all the hardships. He clasped his fists and said, "Chao Village Master just sends all the brothers back to their fields. I will fight to the death to protect the brothers and deal with any injustice." Before the words were finished, Chao Gai said.
After Gai kept saying "Okay, okay", he breathed his last and died, and the Juyi Hall immediately burst into sobs.
After Chao Gai passed away, everyone was sad. Unfortunately, there was no longer a pagoda king in the world. Only the mountains were quiet, the pines and cypresses stood tall, the reeds nodded, and the lakes gulped quietly.
After burying Chao Gai, the Song Jiang brothers left Liangshan Village and returned to their hometowns. Wu Song, Ruan Xiaoer, Lu Zhishen, Li Kui and others were aggrieved and said: "Brother Chao Gai is gone, and we will not take revenge. Let's break up."
How can you feel at ease if you go home and have a happy birthday?"
Song Jiangdao: "Brother Chao Gai just wants us to live a peaceful life. When he was there, he said that when we started an uprising, the government sent local soldiers to suppress them. They were all children of each village. The two sides clashed, resulting in countless casualties, ranging from dozens to dozens.
The number of people can be hundreds or even thousands. It is said that one general can make thousands of bones dry up. In the end, hundreds of thousands of horses and horses will inevitably face each other, with rivers of blood and bones. Naturally, losing will not help, but winning? I don’t dare.
It is said that we can do a better job in politics than the current imperial court. We originally did not want to be promoted and make a fortune, let alone become an emperor. Besides, our family members are not very happy to follow us, and we may be involved in disaster at any time."
Li Kui said: "It would have been nice to have brother Chao Gai be the emperor at that time!"
Song Jiang smiled solemnly and said: "If our brothers are determined to seize the country, brother Chao Gai will naturally become the emperor. Unfortunately, he has no such intention. He only decided to revolt because he resented the government's misbehavior of public land laws."
Wu Songdao: "We started an uprising because of the Gongtian Law. Zhang Shuye shot brother Chao Gai to death and promised to do his best. He should keep his word. If there is another disturbance in the Gongtian Law, it will never be settled. Brother Chao Gai will not die in vain."
"
Besides, Uncle Ye, Chao Gai had passed away and Liangshan was at peace, so he ordered the surrounding troops to be withdrawn, released all the family members, stopped the taxes related to the water and public fields, and returned to the capital with Zhe Kecun to resume his life. Cai Jing and his younger brother Cai Jing
Bian Zi and Ruan Fei had an old relationship. They knew that Chao Gai, Song Jiang and others were disciples of Ruan Fei, so they were somewhat close to each other. Moreover, he and Tong Guan and others did not want to make a big show of public anger in the public land, so they were happy to put things to rest. Since Chao Gai was dead, the big thing has been resolved.
This calms down.
The brothers strictly abided by the instructions of Brother Tianwang, and tried their best to be submissive and cautious when dealing with the officials. More than a year passed in this way. Zhang Shuye was also transferred to leave Jeju. The new governor of Jeju had more plans to collect lake taxes.
The wind blows.
On this day, Wu Song was teaching martial arts to his apprentices. Suddenly, a young boy from Chao Gai's family ran over and said, "Secret Master Wu has something bad going on. The officers and soldiers are transporting Taishan Huashi Gang from Wuzhang River across the Dongxi Bridge. Because the bridge hole is too narrow, it is said to be demolished."
Just demolish it. Uncle Chao's house located directly above the bridge can no longer be used and will be demolished. Mr. Chao stayed in the back room and refused to demolish it. He was about to be smashed to death inside." Wu Song was so frightened when he heard that.
, thought to himself: "Brother Chao Gai is gone, and Uncle Chao was bullied and was about to be beaten to death in the house. How can any of the brothers still have the dignity to live?"
Running all the way over, I saw Chao Gai's daughter-in-law crying, feeling distressed and complaining at the same time: "Sister-in-law, you don't recognize people like me as your brothers, and you didn't greet me earlier!" Chao Gai's daughter-in-law pointed to the house at the end of the bridge and cried even more.
incredible.
Wu Song looked at how many officers and soldiers were standing on the roof. An officer looked like he was pointing, he should be the envoy in charge of transportation, so he yelled at the man: "Get down quickly, don't you dare to take off a piece of brick again?"
, No one can live!" At this time, Ruan Xiaoer had also rushed to the courtyard, and Wu Song looked at each other. They understood each other, and Xiaoer rushed into the house. Wu Song jumped up and climbed onto the roof.
When the officers and soldiers saw someone daring to stop them, they couldn't help but get angry: "Who are you? You dare to stop the transportation of Hua Shi Gang? You are obviously desperate for your life!" Wu Song said: "Building a toy for fun will waste people and money, and demolish bridges."
Houses, people say that building houses and building bridges is a sign of negative virtue. Aren’t you afraid of losing negative virtue by demolishing bridges and building houses?”
The officer was furious: "The transportation of Hua Shi Gang is the emperor's personal order. I wonder who dares to stop it!" Wu Song couldn't help but sneered: "Doing things for the imperial court can prevent people from living? Someone down below wants to demolish the house. How dare you not stop?"
The envoy said: "He lives impatiently and can't come out. How can he blame me?" Wu Song said gloomily: "What do you want to do?" The man curled his lips arrogantly: "Ignore him, you can live as long as you want.
Come out on your own, or die inside if you don't want to live."
At this time, the waiter slowly walked out with Mr. Chao in his arms, tears streaming down his cheeks, eyes blazing, and shouted to Wu Song: "Brother Wu, Uncle Chao was hit by these thieves in the house.
Gone! Those bastards on the roof don’t have to live anymore.”
Wu Song had thrown a rat weapon just now and did not dare to fight on the roof for fear of hurting Uncle Chao even more. In front of him, Uncle Chao was smashed to death in the house. At this time, he was so sad and angry that he couldn't hold it back anymore. He was really angry from the bottom of his heart.
, evil came to Bian Bian: "Okay, okay, I don't know how to settle accounts, I only know how to kill people to pay for their lives. I will treat you as you want my uncle, and I won't wrong you." He stretched out his hand to grab the man.
The man was not weak in martial arts, but seeing that Wu Song had no moves, he grabbed him casually and was about to block him. Unexpectedly, the opponent caught him very quickly. He couldn't block it with his hand, but he was hit by a heavy hand in two places.
The big acupoint was immediately exhausted. Wu Song grabbed his collar, secretly exerted his strength, and threw it far into the water, but landed in the middle of the Wuzhang River. The man was originally very good at water, and the acupoint was hit, like a puddle of mud being thrown down.
It was completely submerged, and only bubbles and water splashes could be seen on the river surface.
The remaining officers and soldiers on the roof were petrified with fright. Wu Song came and went, but no one had time to move even half a step forward. They were thrown into the river like the envoy. The other soldiers on the bank wanted to save them, but Wu Song shouted: "These people are unprovoked.
He killed my Uncle Chao, and I will leave him alone if he dares to save him!" Poor few officers and soldiers who were vicious and arrogant just now drowned in the Wuzhang River in an instant.
