Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 27

"Hold on!" Cao Cao suddenly shouted softly.

A few of them were standing by a big tree. The sun was setting and the shadow of the tree was covering them. The big man hadn't noticed that there were still people who hadn't left. Turning around now, he showed a shy expression and frowned slightly.

Cao Cao saw that the man had broad shoulders and narrow waist, long arms and broad back, a high nose bridge, two thick eyebrows raised obliquely, a round forehead and a face like a tiger. He couldn't help applauding secretly, and said, "Brother, are you a man who You have given all your money to others, so you want to pick this bread to satisfy your hunger?"

The big man blushed, and then he said with a calm smile: "I'm sorry, that dealer is a poor man, and he needs to spend money to buy noodles to make pastries. It's not like I have all my strength, chopping firewood and carrying boxes. How can I make some money?"

Seeing that he was dressed in shabby clothes, not as bright as the peddler who was beaten, but he kept saying that he was pitiful. Cao Cao couldn't help being awed when he heard this, and clasped his fists and said: "Your honor is extraordinary in martial arts, with a heart of benevolence and righteousness, he is really a hero! If you don't give up I would like to drink a few glasses of water and wine together, so that we can make friends."

The big man hurriedly returned the gift, with a hesitant face, he said: "It's really inappropriate to ask my dear brother to spoil the money when we meet by chance."

Cao Cao laughed loudly and said, "How refreshing is it when you draw your sword to help others? Why is it that the mother-in-law is up at this moment, or are I waiting for a few, so you can't get into the eyes of brothers?"

The big man waved his hands again and again: "Of course not, then, then I will bother my dear friend."

Cao Cao said happily: "This is refreshing!"

Cao Cao took the big man's hand and looked forward. Not far away, there was a "Chen Hong Old Store". Ask more, good wine and good food, just come up, and I will count the money with you."

Xiao Er was overjoyed, not long after, there were dishes on the table, and two jars of good wine were opened, and the aroma was tangy.

Cao Cao got up to sift the wine with the crowd, looked at the big man and said, "Hero, I would like to ask for my name."

The big man got up hurriedly, crossed his hands and said, "Brothers, my younger brother is from Jinling Jiankang Mansion. His surname is Shi Mingxiu. He loves to learn guns and sticks since he was a child. He has been determined all his life. If the road is injustice, he will sacrifice his life to protect each other. Call the younger brother "Desperate Saburo". The younger brother came to the north to sell some sheep and horses with his uncle. Unexpectedly, his uncle fell ill halfway, and he spent all his money on seeking medical treatment, but he still couldn't save his life. Therefore, the younger brother was stranded in Jizhou. Sell ​​firewood to survive."

Cao Cao sighed to the crowd: "It is said in the Jianghu that donate money, pay attention to loyalty, bring more firewood to officials, timely rain, and the name of the next one. In fact, which of us is not worry-free about food and clothing? Look at Brother Shixiu , I am down and out, but I have to give alms to help others, this is a real hero, brothers like me, we should all give him a toast."

Hearing what he said, everyone respected Shi Xiu more and more, and raised their glasses to each other.Seeing how everyone loves each other so much, Shi Xiu was very moved. He drank several glasses of wine in a row, his tiger eyes turned red: "Brothers are so loving, it really makes people's hearts burn. My younger brother is not talented. May I ask for your names."

Cao Cao said with a smile, "I'm going to introduce you. Look, these three are Pei Xuan with an iron face, Deng Fei with a fire eye, and Meng Kang with a jade flag. Ma Chuanluocao; these two little brothers, Xiao Wen Hou Lu Fang, Sai Rengui and Guo Sheng, both lost their money in business and lived in the rivers and lakes. As for me, they are a small capital in Yanggu County, named Wu Zhizhi .”

Shi Xiu met all the people one by one, and Cao Cao reported his name, and he became more and more surprised: "Could it be that he is the master of the martial arts family who is called Wu Mengde and Broken Gate Sword?" It is a pleasure to meet my brother!"

Cao Cao pulled him up and said, "We are brothers all over the world, why should we be polite?" He sat down on the chair and said, "Let's relax and have a drink."

Lu Fang filled the wine for Shi Xiu, said with a smile, "Brother Wu is not polite, we are all sincere heroes, brother Shi family, don't be restrained, come here, brother respects you..."

Several people ate and drank, and when Shi Xiu was half drunk, he asked Cao Cao why he came to the Liao territory. Cao Cao talked about helping Chai Jin find the goods, and said: "Thanks to this opportunity, I just let Wu go again Hand over to the next generation of good brothers, and now the Yinmachuan cottage has been burned, and I will go to Jiangzhou to kill the dog official Cai Jiu who entrapped Brother Pei, and then go back to Yanggu County to have fun!"

Shi Xiu heard this and shouted: "Brothers, how can Shi Xiu be missing for such a happy event as killing a dog official? If you don't think my martial arts are low, please take Qie with you."

Cao Cao said: "Brother, I have seen your skills before, but killing an official is like a rebellion. You are not like these fallen brothers, who are afraid of leading you astray."

Shi Xiu laughed and said: "My little brother has already seen through this kind of world. If you live an honest life and let you pretend to be a hero, you are just struggling to survive. It is better to follow your brother and kill the dog official. At least one side will be peaceful."

Cao Cao applauded and said, "Okay! In other words, he is right in my generation."

Everyone talked about entering Hong Kong, drank more and more, and when they were drunk, they asked for a few rooms in this hotel to sleep peacefully.

When he woke up the next day, Lu Fang touched the package and called out to Chuang Tianqu: "Which thief who was hacked into pieces stole my belongings?"

It turned out that most of the gold and silver that Cao Cao brought with him on this trip were in the horses of Lu Fang and Guo Sheng, and they carried them into the room when they slept. Lu Fang's parcel contained more than six hundred taels of silver and forty taels of gold, but now is all gone.

Guo Sheng was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly went to look at his package. The four 500 taels of silver and 20 taels of gold inside were also missing. He was furious, kicked the door of the room, and shouted: "The shopkeeper, get over here. You have a lot of thieves in your shop!"

The store owner came over to take a look and heard that there was so much money missing. He was panicked and said tremblingly: "This store has been in business for more than years, and it has been passed down for four generations. There has never been any stealth. This matter is definitely not up to the store. Just tell the officer."

Guo Sheng said angrily: "Living in your store, why is there nothing to do?" After talking about the store, he would be full of punches, but Cao Cao stretched out his hand to stop him: "The look of this store does not seem to be lying. Don't make it difficult for him."

He let the shop owner go by himself, and asked everyone to go back to their room to discuss.

Deng Fei shouted: "It's a joke, let me be here, who is not smart? Even if you are drunk, you will not let the thief succeed."

He and Meng Kang lived in the same room with Lu and Guo last night, and felt more embarrassed than others.

Pei Xuan frowned and thought for a moment, then persuaded him: "We are passing by. If we report to the officials, it will inevitably take time and effort. In my opinion, it is better to admit defeat. Fortunately, my brother also has more than a thousand taels of silver. It's worry-free."

Yinmachuan Shanzhai has not been established for a long time, and these leaders are only willing to rob officials and merchants, and the total amount of silver and goods they have accumulated is only about 3000 taels. Deng Fei made the decision to send the young people who did not want to go south. Ten taels of silver were used for bulk cargo fees, and half of the silver was saved, leaving only a thousand taels.

Meng Kang exclaimed after hearing this: "Brother, go and see if the silver is still there."

Pei Xuan was startled when he heard this, and hurried back to the room to have a look, he couldn't help crying loudly, it turned out that even his money was gone.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Forget it. I wanted to keep things quiet, but I was cut off food and grass. How can these hundreds of people have no money to eat, drink and stay? I have to fight this thief."

He was not as angry as the others. After pondering for a moment, he asked Shi Xiu: "Brother, you must not be an ordinary thief who can steal so much gold and silver under our noses. You have been in Jizhou for a long time, so you know there are people here." What famous hero? I’ll go and pay a visit to see if I can ask this person to find the thief, make peace, and return some of the money.”

Shi Xiu frowned and thought hard for a while, then slowly shook his head and said: "In this Jizhou city, although there are a few people who are not well-known, but if there are such extravagant figures as Cangzhou Xiaoxuanfeng, Yunxian County and Yuqilin in Daming Mansion, they are None."

While talking, suddenly the shopkeeper came up and said: "Congratulations to the guests, you are so blessed, a festival has caught the thief and returned the stolen money and goods."

With these words, everyone was amazed, the so-called public sees money like a fly sees blood, not to mention how they have the ability to catch people so quickly, but with so much gold and silver, who would not be tempted to see it?Wouldn't it be a miracle to be able to send it back directly?

Immediately, they got up one after another, going to see that section class.
