Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Page 210

The great monk passed away today, and the young monk ran wild last night.Toutuo slashed his neck and saw that they met each other, and died fighting for the same acupuncture point, vowing not to forgive each other. "

There are many good people in this city of Jizhou, hearing these two songs, all the streets and alleys are singing.

How could Shi Qian fail to hear the meaning behind the words of these good things?He found a disciple who was singing and making a fuss and inquired carefully, only to find out that he had killed a monk and a Toutuo at the entrance of Duantou Alley in front of him last night.

The monk who was killed belonged to Pei Ruhai, Jerry Pei Ruhai of Baoen Temple, and the Tuduo was Hu Dao, who was behind Baoen Temple.It is said that the monk Pei Ruhai didn't wear any clothes, and died from three or four fatal wounds on his body.Hu Dao saw a murderous knife beside him, and saw a strangled wound on his neck.The government sent officials to check it out early in the morning, and decided that it was the monk Pei Ruhai and Na Toutuo who did something offensive, unfair and illegal, and killed each other.

When Shi Qian heard this, he secretly thought that the monk and Toutuo must have been killed for adultery, but he didn't want to have such a beautiful and strange thing in Jizhou city last night.If I had known this before, wouldn't I be able to feast my eyes on lurking here last night, far better than peeping at prostitutes on the roof of the brothel?

After Shi Qian asked the boy where Dead End Alley was, he walked over in three steps at a time.At the entrance of the murderous alley, there were especially unwashed blood on the ground.Shi Qian looked at the alley again, suddenly stamped his feet and shouted: "Why am I so blind, isn't this Yang Xiong's family?" Slightly yellow, so it is called "disease-related cable".Yang Xiong came to Jizhou to make a living because his uncle and elder brother were magistrates in Jizhou.Later, because of his acquaintance with the successor prefect, he was appointed as the prisoner of the two courts and the executioner of Cao Cao.

Shi Qian was arrested because of a mistake and was sued in Jizhou mansion.But Yang Xiong regarded Shi Qian as a thief who jumped over the eaves and walls, jumped fences and cheated horses as a hero in the rivers and lakes, and saved Shi Qian by doing favors.

After Shi Qian was rescued, he once stole a lot of silver from a rich family and sent it to Yang Xiong's house to express his gratitude, so he knew Yang Xiong's house.

Why did the two monks and Toutuo die naked outside the back door of Yang Xiong's house?I'm afraid there is something strange in it!

Shi Qian inquired about Yang Xiong's neighbors, and found out that Yang Xiong married a beautiful woman named Pan Qiaoyun less than a year ago.Recently, there are rumors in the street, saying that Yang Xiong's wife seems to be unruly, and has something to do with the monk of Baoen Temple. I don't want to cause a disaster last night.

When Shi Qian heard this, he thought to himself: Yang Xiong is highly skilled in martial arts, could it be that he killed those two people?

Shi Qian didn't know at this time that the monk Pei Ruhai was indeed killed because of his affair with Pan Qiaoyun.But the person who killed him was not Yang Xiong, the "sick man", but Yang Xiong's new sworn brother, Shi Xiu, the "Desperate Saburo".

Shi Xiu's ancestor was a surname from Jiankang Prefecture, Jinling, Jiangnan. Both of his parents died when he was young.When he came to the Liao Kingdom with his uncle to sell cattle and horses, his uncle died of illness on the way.Shi Xiu's family is a butcher, he is good at slaughtering cattle and sheep, but he is not good at making a living.Not long after, Shi Xiu lost her capital and went to Jizhou to sell firewood to survive.

Because Shi Xiu is good at martial arts, and loves to fight against injustices, she tries to stand out from others, so she is nicknamed "Desperate Saburo".On the streets of Jizhou, he became a brother with Yang Xiong because of fighting against injustice, and was invited by Yang Xiong to go home and live there, so he discovered the adulterous affair between Pan Qiaoyun and Pei Ruhai.

Last night, Shi Xiu ambushed outside the alley behind Yang Xiong's house and killed Pei Ruhai and his follower Hu Toutuo who came to commit adultery.

Chapter 3: Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong

The muddle-headed official decided the muddled case. For this strange murder, all the good people on the street knew some of the reasons. Die, close the case here.

From killing Pei Ruhai and Hu Daoren, and arranging the means to confuse the officials, it can be seen that Shi Xiu is definitely not what he said to Yang Xiong. He used to sell cattle and horses with his uncle, and after losing his capital, he went to Jizhou Sell ​​firewood to survive.

Shi Xiu had a thorough plan last night. When killing someone, he slit Taoist Hu's throat with just one knife, without blinking an eye.From that skillful technique, it can be seen that this cannot be Shi Xiu's first murder.This kind of calmness and calmness that treats human life like nothing, and kills one person with every gesture, is really difficult for someone who has been murdering for many years.

In particular, Shi Xiu was not in a hurry, forced Daoren Hu and Pei Ruhai to take off their clothes before killing people, and after killing people, he was able to pretend to be the scene before leaving calmly, which showed how terrifying he was.

It can be said that Shi Xiu has figured out the government's thoughts.For these people in the government who have a vegetarian diet, it doesn't matter whether they can catch the real culprit, as long as there is a plausible reason to close the case earlier.The big guys were raised by their fathers and mothers, who would take the risk to find that ferocious thug who killed two people in a row?So Shi Xiu simply faked the illusion of killing each other, and after giving the public a chance to close the case, the officials immediately accepted the letter and declared the case closed.

Just because everything the government did was accounted for, Shi Xiuna could go back to the inn and sleep with her head covered, without any worries after killing the two of them.

Who can believe that this is Shi Xiu's first impulsive killing?This is clearly a demonstration of the strength of an excellent Jianghu killer!

Of course, Shi Qian didn't know that there was such a hero as the "Desperate Saburo" Shi Xiu in Jizhou City at this time, and he guessed in his heart that it was probably "Sick Guan Suo" Yang Xiong who killed the adulterer.Then Yang Xiong is also a member of the government, so the government must be protecting him!

What kind of woman did Yang Xiong marry to provoke the monks from Baoen Temple!Shi Qian inquired about the origin of Pan Qiaoyun from the neighbors in the neighborhood, and became interested in Pan Qiaoyun, who was known by the street as beautiful as a flower.

If the monk and Toutuo were really killed because of their affair with Pan Qiaoyun, Yang Xiong would never let it go, he might have a good show with his wife!

Shi Qian looked at Yang Xiong's house with bright eyes, and made up his mind to stay outside Yang Xiong's house, sneaking into Yang Xiong's house at night to take a peek.If Yang Xiong became angry from embarrassment and drove that Pan Qiaoyun out of the house with a divorce letter, Shi Qian would take this opportunity to trick Pan Qiaoyun to Cangzhou, Hebei to sell him for a good price!

When Shi Qian was salivating around Yang Xiong's house, Yang Xiong was on duty in Jizhou Mansion.When he heard someone tell him to kill the monk Toutuo, he already knew something in his heart, and thought to himself: "Shi Xiu must have done this. I wrongly blamed him the day before yesterday. I have some free time today, and I will go look for him." , Ask him the truth."

Yang Xiong left the state capital and walked home slowly. He was walking across the state bridge when he heard someone behind him shouting: "Brother, where are you going?"

Yang Xiong turned around and saw that the person was not the Shi Xiu he was looking for!Yang Xiong said: "Brother, I was not looking for you."

Shi Xiudao: "Brother, come to my place and talk to you."

Shi Xiu led Yang Xiong to sit down in a small room in the inn, and said to Yang Xiong: "Brother, brother, have you never lied?"

It turned out that after seeing through Pan Qiaoyun and Pei Ruhai's adulterous affair, Shi Xiu once talked with Yang Xiong.Yang Xiong's tongue was not strict after drinking, which was leaked to Pan Qiaoyun.Then Pan Qiaoyun said in front of Yang Xiong that Shi Xiu couldn't moles her, and falsely accused her of having an affair with Pei Ruhai.Yang Xiong is a soft-hearted, ignorant and confused person, after hearing Pan Qiaoyun's words, he forced Shi Xiu away in a fit of anger.

Pan Qiaoyun originally thought that everything would be all right, but she is a weak woman from a common people's family, and she doesn't know the dangers of the world, so how could she know the viciousness of a so-called hero like Shi Xiu who is desperate in the world.Pan Qiaoyun used tricks to force Shi Xiu to leave, but she annoyed Shi Xiu, and finally cost her and Pei Ruhai's lives.

Ordinarily, although Pan Qiaoyun had an affair with Pei Ruhai, the two did not harm Yang Xiong's heart, and they deserved to die.Even if Yang Xiong found out about the adultery, he could just send Pan Qiaoyun out of the house with a letter of divorce, and it is reasonable to beat Pei Ruhai up.

Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong are not blood brothers at all, even if they were blood brothers, Pan Qiaoyun's adulterous affair should not be meddled by him, besides Shi Xiu is just a sworn brother-in-law, it's not his turn to meddle in such affairs with his shirtless body.

What's more, when Yang Xiong suddenly became a brother and brought the homeless Shi Xiu home to live in, Pan Qiaoyun didn't say anything against the man who suddenly appeared in the family. Shi Xiu also took good care of him and helped him run the butcher shop business.If Shi Xiu had any support, Shi Xiu would have no reason to be murderous towards Pan Qiaoyun.

But because Pan Qiaoyun told a lie in front of Yang Xiong in a panic to protect herself, she forced Shi Xiu out of the house.In order to prove her innocence in front of her brother Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu had to kill Pan Qiaoyun, Pei Ruhai and others, and also dragged Yang Xiong, who had done a good job as an official, into the rivers and lakes with him.

In fact, this guy Shi Xiu regards human life as worthless and his brother's future as nothing just for the sake of fighting. He is really a cruel and merciless desperado!

It's just that Yang Xiong, who has always been confused, doesn't know Shi Xiu's viciousness. He has been led by the nose step by step by this sworn brother, but he still doesn't know it.

Yang Xiong heard that Shi Xiu pressed him, so he had to apologize: "Brother, don't blame me. I was stupid for a while, and I slipped my words after drinking, but the woman guessed it, saying that there are many brothers. I am here to find a good brother. Take the thorn and plead guilty."

Shi Xiudao: "Brother, although my brother is an incompetent villain, he is an upright hero. How can he do something different? I am afraid that my brother will be tricked by evil in the future, so I came to look for my brother. I have a sign to show my brother."

Shi Xiu took out the monk Toutuo's clothes and said to Yang Xiong: "Brother, please look, the adulterer's clothes are all stripped here!"

Although Yang Xiong is a man of martial arts, he is also nicknamed "Sick Guansuo" in Jianghu, but he is actually quite powerless when it comes to matters between men and women.Thinking that Pan Qiaoyun is as beautiful as a flower, and she has been married to Yang Xiong for less than a year, the two of them should have been like glue, like sugar, like honey, but Yang Xiong used to excuse that he had business to stay away from home every three days, and fell down within a month. For twenty days or so, she spent time in prison, leaving Pan Qiaoyun, who was in her prime, at home alone in an empty room.

Is Yang Xiong really busy with business?No!The same prison class, seeing how leisurely the "Shenxing Taibao" Dai Zong lived, he went to extort prisoners during the day, and went back to Guanyin nunnery to teach nuns their homework at night. Where did he have so many official duties?You, Yang Xiong, have endless errands?

Yang Xiong is just trying to hide from Pan Qiaoyun!

Chapter 3 Fifteen: Yang Xiong Earns a Wife

Although Yang Xiong is not worthy of himself, he has to act as a tough guy in front of his brothers, so he can't lose face.He looked at the clothes that Shi Xiu took out, and his heart became angry, and he said: "Brother, don't be blamed. I cut this bitch tonight, and let out such a bad breath!"

Shi Xiu said with a smile: "You are here again! Since you are a member of the public court, why don't you know the law? You have never found her to be a traitor, how can you kill someone? If the younger brother is talking nonsense, you can kill someone?"

Shi Xiu fiddled back and forth, and half of Yang Xiongfang's courage was exhausted, he didn't know what to do.Yang Xiong asked: "Brother, how can we give up like this?"

Shi Xiudao: "Brother, I will teach you to be a good man just according to my brother's words."

Yang Xiong said: "My dear brother, how did you teach me to be a good man?"

Yang Xiong was eager to show his masculinity in front of Shi Xiu, and at this time he had already obeyed Shi Xiu.

Shi Xiudao: "There is a Cuiping mountain outside the east gate here, so it's so quiet. When my brother arrives tomorrow, he only says, "I haven't burned incense for a long time. I'm going with my sister-in-law today." I went to the mountain with my son. The younger brother waited there first, face to face, and understood all the right and wrong. At that time, the elder brother wrote a divorce letter and abandoned the woman, isn't it right?"

Shi Xiu saw that Yang Xiong was indecisive and had no intention of killing Pan Qiaoyun, so he only told Yang Xiong to get rid of Pan Qiaoyun, so Yang Xiong didn't have much worries.

After deceiving Yang Xiong and Pan Qiaoyun to go to Cuiping Mountain, he made the best use of the situation and provoked them a little bit. Are you afraid that Yang Xiong will not move to kill?

Yang Xiong didn't know Shi Xiu's plan, so he said to Shi Xiu: "Brother, why bother to say what is right and wrong? You are innocent, I already know it. That woman is lying!"

Shi Xiu said: "Otherwise; I also want my brother to know the truth about her dealings."

Shi Xiu is so aggressive and unrelenting, which makes Yang Xiong very difficult.He also didn't want to lose face in front of his brother, so he agreed to bring Pan Qiaoyun to confront Shi Xiu.

Yang Xiong said: "Since brother has such a high opinion, it must be good. I will definitely come with that bitch tomorrow, so don't miss it."
