Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

"The thief wants to silence you! Brothers, hurry up!" The young man dragged the young scribe who was still cursing and ran away.

At this time, the young literati who was so frightened and bewildered came back to his senses, what is the reason to talk to this shameless and dishonest robber? I really am crazy!

The other two scribes who were kneeling on the ground also came to their senses, got up and ran for their lives along the river bank in another direction.

The big man wiped the dust off his face with his sleeve, and screamed out of embarrassment.He looked left and right, and saw that the young people who ran away first were far away from him, and the two who fled later were only a few feet away from him, so he ran after them.

The big man ran after him with his legs wide open, and at the same time he grinned strangely and said, "A few short-legged birdmen are faster than my brocade leopard?"

Before the words fell, the big man had already caught up with the two people in front like the wind, stabbed left and right with a strange cry, and knocked the two scribes to the ground.

After stabbing the two people to death, the big man didn't stop, he turned around and chased after the young man like a whirlwind.

It only took a moment for the big man to catch up with the escaped young man and the others, only three or five steps away from them.

Just as the big man was about to wield his iron spear to attack, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, and a voice shouted violently: "That man, if you die, stand still! Don't hurt anyone!"

The big man's heart trembled, he secretly thought something wrong, he hurriedly turned his head to see who came to spoil his business.I saw dust flying behind me, and more than a dozen riders were chasing after me.The leader was a man with superb riding skills, holding a pair of knives, and rushed forward with a threatening aura.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the big man screamed bitterly, and ran to the reeds by the river.In the reeds, there is a small boat he prepared.As long as he can escape to the boat and paddle away from the shore, the knights who suddenly appear behind him can't do anything to him.

It's a pity that although this big man was quick to see the opportunity and boasted that he had the speed of a leopard, his two legs still couldn't outrun the four legs of the fast horse behind him.But within a few breaths, the knight behind him with two knives galloped past the big man, turned his horse's head in front, and blocked the big man's way.

Immediately following the leading knight, several more cavalry chased up, surrounded the big man from all sides, and cut off his thoughts of jumping into the river and escaping.

The escaped young man and young scribe had just walked before the gate of hell, and almost died under the guns of the robbers.Seeing so many rescuers at this moment, the two of them lost their legs and immediately fell to the ground.

A young man riding a horse came to them, jumped off his horse, and asked the two of them with concern: "Is anyone injured? Don't panic, my family's senior officials are here, and no one can hurt you any more."

"Kill that robber and avenge my master!" The boy sitting on the ground suddenly cried hysterically.

"You thief is so bold! How dare you cut a path and kill people in broad daylight! Do you know that there is still a law in this world?" The knight with two knives looked at the corpses on the river bank and asked the big man.

This knight is none other than Ximen Qing who left the Ximen Leopard Temple and went south.

After Ximen Qing and his party left the Ximen Leopard Temple, they came straight to the north bank of the Huan River, hoping to find a stone bridge or a ferry to cross the river and go to Xiangzhou Fucheng.

When they were about to reach the shore, Ximenqing and others heard screams coming from ahead, so they immediately took pictures to see what happened, just in time for the big man to kill the young man.Ximen Qing hurriedly yelled loudly on the horse, disturbing the mind of the big man, and saved the boy and the young scribe from his gun.

Seeing that the big man fell into his siege and could hardly fly, Ximen Qing looked at him coldly, as if looking at a dead person.

Just at this moment, the young man's cries came clearly.

Chapter 271 I'm Not Here

"Kill that robber and avenge my master..."

The boy's cries echoed in the ears of Ximen Qing, Jiao Ting and the surrounded man.

The big man saw that Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting were not easy to deal with, so he didn't dare to fight recklessly, so he had to pull the tiger skin as a banner and use big words to scare Ximen Qing.He said to Ximen Qing: "Your name is Gao, but he is a hero in Jianghu? I wonder if you have heard the name of Liangshan hero 'Jin Baozi' Yang Lin?"

When Ximen Qing heard this, his eyes widened, he stared at the big man and asked, "Man, are you 'Jin Bao Zi' Yang Lin?"

The big man replied: "I am Yang Lin. People in Hebei and Shandong know my name well. Because I can run fast and stab a leopard on my body, everyone in the world calls me 'Jinbaozi'." Yang Lin. One month ago, I met Mr. Gongsun Sheng of Liangshanbo in the wine shop on the Xiayu Road, and we met in the shop for a drink. Mr. Gongsun prepared to say that Liangshan Po Chao Tianwang recruited talents and recommended my younger brother to Liangshan. After going down the mountain, The preparation was so highly regarded by King Chao Tian that he made the villain the leader of the mountain."

It turns out that this thief is Yang Lin, the "Jinbaozi" of Liangshan [-]th General!It's really hard to find a place to go through iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it.Another damn Liangshan bandit has fallen into the hands of my official, Ximen Qing!

Yang Lin is a native of Xiangzhou, he is a villain who has been in the green forest for a long time, cutting and killing people.

Different from other robbers, this guy is a lone wolf type of robber, he likes to roam around Hebei and Shandong provinces to commit crimes by himself, and after killing people and stealing goods, he flies away.

Many years ago, Yang Lin had teamed up with Deng Fei, the "Fire Eye Suanni" from the Xiangyang Mansion of the Gaitian Army to rob, and when he ran to Dengzhou, he met Zou Yuan, the local bandit "Chu Linlong" from Dengyun Village.These three are robbers who like to kill and set fire. They feel that they have similar temperaments, so they become good brothers.

About five years ago, Yang Lin, the "Golden Leopard" who liked to fight alone, and Deng Fei, the "Fire Eye Suan Ni", went their separate ways, going to different state capitals to kill people and set fires.

That "fire-eyed suanni" Deng Fei also knew how to recruit soldiers and buy horses when he killed people and set fire to them. Within five years, he ran to the territory of Liao Kingdom, set up a village on the mountain of Yinma River in Jizhou, and became the king of the mountain himself.

"Golden Leopard" Yang Lin still only focused on killing himself, without any higher goals.It is said that rabbits don't eat grass by the side of the nest, Yang Lin is restless after returning to his hometown, killing people and stealing goods, he is very busy.

Surrounded by Ximen Qing at this time, Yang Lin took out Liang Shanbo's name and pretended to be a hero of Liangshan, hoping to frighten Ximen Qing away and let him escape.

"Jinbaozi" Yang Lin didn't know that the name of Liangshan hero can frighten others, but Ximen Qing can't be frightened.The high official in front of me, the one who killed the most in his life was the hero of Liangshan.

Among the Liangshan heroes, such as "leopard head" and "red-haired ghost" were all beheaded by Ximen Qing and fed to the dogs.In the eyes of senior official Ximen Qing, Yang Lin, the "Jin Leopard", is nothing more than a sick cat of little importance.

Ximen Qing knew that Yang Lin was probably lying to scare him.Historically, Yang Lin did not go to Liangshan immediately after meeting Gongsun Sheng, but continued to commit crimes in Hebei and Shandong.Later, after he happened to meet Dai Zong who was looking for Gongsun Sheng, he followed Dai Zong to Liangshan.

But now that "Shenxing Taibao" Dai Zong was killed by Lu Xiaoyi in Jiangzhou, it is naturally impossible to lead Yang Lin again.Therefore, Yang Lin is still fighting alone everywhere, robbing and murdering wantonly with his temper.

"Damn! What kind of pickle is a Liangshan hero? High officials, I specialize in killing Liangshan heroes! Come on, take down Yang Lin, that bastard!" Ximen Qing, who was riding a horse, spit on him. "Golden Leopard" Yang Lin's face.

Yang Lin was ashamed and annoyed, so he wanted to fight Ximen Qing with a gun in his hand.Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, a fat and strong man had already crashed into his arms, twisted Yang Lin's arms, and threw him to the ground fiercely.

Yang Lin hit his head on the ground and was knocked half to death.When he was dizzy and his ears were ringing, Ximen Qing's attendants swarmed up, disarmed him, stripped him naked, and tied him to a big willow tree by the river.

At this moment, Brother Qiao Yun also came over with the boy and the young scholar.

When the young scribe saw that his teacher and his companions had been killed by the robbers, he was still in shock. All he could do was tremble, cover his face and weep, and could barely speak.

The young man was quite courageous, when he came to the side of the willow tree, he took advantage of his surprise and drew a knife from the waist of one of Ximen Qing's attendants, intending to kill Yang Lin and avenge his master in the academy.Fortunately, Ximen Qing had quick eyes and quick hands, snatched the waist knife from the young man, and prevented Yang Lin's blood from splashing on the spot.

The young man couldn't kill Yang Lin, but he still rushed forward with his bare hands, slapped Yang Lin several times, and cursed at Yang Lin endlessly.

Seeing that this young man was only twelve or thirteen years old, Ximen Qing was so courageous, far surpassing his frail senior brother, he couldn't help but secretly marveled.

Under Ximen Qing's signal, Brother Qiao Yun stepped forward to grab the boy and brought him to Ximen Qing's side.

Ximen Qing said to the boy with a pleasant face that it was not because he was not allowed to avenge his wife, but because the robber named Yang Lin killed so many people, the government must come to investigate the case.Handing over the murderer alive to the government will allow the government to close the case better, and it will also avoid new troubles for the young man and the surviving young scholar.

That young man was also a smart scholar, Ximen Qing gave him a little hint, and he understood.So, he bowed to Ximen Qing and the others to salute, thanked Ximen Qing and others for their life-saving grace, and informed everyone of his name.

It turned out that this courageous young man, surnamed Li, surnamed Qiong, styled Guobao, was born in Linzhang County, Xiangzhou.He was born in a noble family and is now a student of Xiangzhou.

Li Qiong said that today he followed his master to Tongque Terrace in Ye Town with several companions from the state school to pay tribute to the Seven Sons of Jian'an in the Han and Wei Dynasties.Unexpectedly, just after crossing the Huan River, he was attacked by this bandit, and his wife was brutally killed...

Li Qiong was articulate, and told Ximen Qing and the others exactly what happened before Ximen Qing and the others appeared.

After hearing this, Ximen Qing thought to himself that this young man Li Qiong was courageous and insightful, and he possessed a talent!He is a state student now, and he will be an outstanding scholar in this state in the future.It's better to tell him your real name and surname, and form a good relationship with this little boy first.

After making up his mind, Ximenqing told Li Qiong his name and told him that he came to Xiangzhou from Yanggu County, Shandong Province to visit his friends.

After Li Qiong heard this, she firmly remembered her savior in her heart.

After asking the "Jin Leopard" Yang Lin how he robbed Li Qiong and the others, Ximen Qing didn't delay any longer, and immediately ordered his men to detain Yang Lin, and escorted Li Qiong and his companion into the city to report to the police.

Chapter 272 Tang Yinyue Village

The Huanshui River is located at the junction of Linzhang County and Xiangzhou Fucheng. Ximenqing and others did not return to Linzhang County to report to the officials, but went directly to Xiangzhou Fucheng.
