Chapter 453 Cui Meng 3

After returning from Yunnan, Cui Meng restrained his temperament and tried his best to change his past. Every time he looked at the thorns on his arms, he shed tears. In order to repay his kindness, Li Shen often followed his left and refused to leave. Cui Meng gave a gift to Yin Liang. He didn't accept it at all. He loved the skill of hitting alone. He often asked Cui Meng for advice and studied carefully for several months. He was agile and skillful in all kinds of weapons.

Cui Menghou joined the cage, bought a land for him and married him, and became a confidant.

There is a prison student surnamed Wang in the city, and his family is rich. He is a scoundrel from all over the world. He is not kind and goes in and out of his door. These gangsters, robbing. Robbery and extortion, do no evil, the people of the county are all deceived, and some people do not resist. Within a few days, they will definitely cross the wilderness and die.

Wang Jiansheng has a son** violent, just like his father. He is disgusted with bastards. He has an aunt in his family who has been widowed for many years. The father and son are greedy for beauty and often commit suicide. **. His wife Qiu Shi was upright and often advised Wang to be kind. Wang Jiansheng didn't listen. In anger, he strangled his wife to death.

His wife's brother, surnamed Wan, went to the government to sue and redress his sister's grievances. The county magistrate took bribes and beat him back. Instead, he beat Wan and accused him of slandering good people. Wan's resentment was hard to calm, so he had to ask Cui Meng for help.

Coincidentally, Cui Meng went out. Li Shen was responsible for the reception, persuaded him kindly, sent Wan away, and said, "This matter is up to me. You go back first and wait for my news."

A few days later, the guest at home happened to be absent. No one poured tea, and Cui Meng didn't think much about it. He said to Li Shen, "Excuse me, pour a bowl of tea."

Li Shen was unhappy and said angrily, "You and I are friends with each other. In the past, we were assigned to Yunnan. How kind of righteousness is it to take care of your family for you? In a blink of an eye, it took only a few days to treat me as a servant. It's really abominable. Is the handsome man surnamed Li a low-class concube? You want me to pour tea and water. I'm sorry, I can't help you!" After saying that, I hate going out.

Cui Meng scolded him, full of confusion, and thought, "What's wrong with my brother? Why are you angry?" I know that Li Shen has always been witty. There must be a reason for this anger, but it is not clear for a while, and it is very annoying.

A few days later, Cui Meng took a nap at home. Suddenly, a government official visited and said, "Li declares that you are stingy and won't pay for three years. Come with me." Cui Meng shook his head with a wry smile and had no choice but to go to court. The county magistrate knew Cui Meng Xiangshan, and Li Shen beat the drum for no reason and sued the owner. It was obviously unreasonable. Now he rebuked him and closed the lawsuit.

Li Shen lost the lawsuit, but he was not depressed. He left calmly with a smile on his face. It was so strange. What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?

This night, the dark wind was high. Li Shen walked alone and broke into the Wang family. He gave birth to the father and son of Wang Jian, together with his aunt, one knife at a time, resulting in his life. Take the paper with you, stick it on the wall, and write your name with a brush: "Murderer Li Shen!" He laughed three times and went away.

The next day, the government ordered the arrest, and Li Shen had already fled to the world and disappeared. The family of the deceased suspected that Cui Meng's accomplice committed the crime, and maybe it was the chief envoy. The county magistrate didn't believe it and said with a smile, "The day before yesterday, Li Shen sued Cui Meng. The relationship between the two was at peace, which made a lot of noise. What people saw together. Are you blind? What does Li Shen do with Cui Meng when he kills people?

At this moment, Cui Meng realized that the reason why Li Shen had a bad relationship with himself was that he was afraid of killing people.

Soon after, he broke into the king and raised an army. In troubled times, the case of Li Shen's murder was over. After the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Qing Dynasty, Li Shen took his family with him and returned from outside. He still dated Cui Meng and was as close as before.

At that time, the local bandits were raging, and there was a person whose surname was Wang's name Deren, that is, Wang Jiansheng's nephew. He summoned scoundrels, was a thief according to the mountain, burned the village and plundered the household, and was extremely arrogant. One night, the bandits went out and came to challenge in the name of revenge. It happened that Cui Meng went out, and a group of thieves broke through the door wall. Li Shen heard the noise and went out of bed to look. Seeing that the thieves were fierce, there were many people, and they knew that it was difficult to fight, and they did not want to fight wildly. They temporarily fell in the dark to preserve their strength.

The group of thieves searched everywhere, but they didn't see Cui and Li. They abduction of Cui's wife, robbed all the property, and left with hatred. Li Shen was extremely angry. At a glance, there was only one old servant and an old horse left in the four walls of the family. He gave birth to a foal due to pregnancy and gave birth, and luckily survived.

Li Shen thought for a little and took a rope, which was broken into dozens of pieces, with different lengths. The short rope was given to the old servant and asked, "Do you know where the robber's nest is?"

The old servant said, "I know, there is a shortcut in the back mountain. From here, I go up the mountain. God doesn't know it, and the ghost doesn't realize it."

Li Shen said, "Very good. You immediately go to the back mountain, hang the short rope on the treetops, drizzle with tung oil, ten meters apart, hang a rope on each tree, and light it with fire in turn. Do you understand?"

The old servant nodded repeatedly, stuffed the rope into his arms, and took the order and left.

Li Shen himself took the long rope and led the old horse. He remembered that the thief wore a red belt around his waist, and his hat was wrapped in red cloth. He dressed up as he was, got on the horse and galloped, pointing straight to the thief's nest.

There is a village at the back of the mountain, that is, the place where the thieves live. Li Shen dismounts and turns over. The wall, straight in. The group of thieves saw that he was in the same outfit and thought it was his brother, and no one doubted him. Li Shen asked, "Where is the woman who was caught? Where is she now?"

There is a human being: "In the king's account."

Li Shen remembered it in his heart, secretly calculated the time, only waited for the back fire to rise, and immediately saved people.

After a few, there was thick smoke in the back mountain, and the thieves shouted loudly: "No, there is a fire in the back mountain. Don't burn grain and grass." Someone reported this matter to the leader a long time ago. Wang Deren heard the news and shouted, "Little ones, let me put out the fire." The group of thieves responded. In an instant, a group of people were scattered cleanly, leaving only two people to guard the big account.

Li Shen followed the crowd up the mountain and sneaked back halfway when people were unprepared. The night was dark and no one knew. Back in front of the account, he lied casually: "The king forgot to wear a knife and ordered me to pick it up." The two of them didn't know it was a trick and said in unison, "Wait first." Turn into the account and look for knives.

Li Shen took advantage of his unpreparedness, one knife at a time, like killing a chicken. He picked up Cui's wife and turned it over. He came out of the wall, untied the rope, and said, "My sister-in-law can't tell the path, and she clenched the reins. The old horse knows the way and will take you back. I'm going to try to get away the bandits. See you later.

The two bowed their hands to say goodbye. Cui's wife went west and Li Shen went east.

However, it was said that a group of thieves went up the mountain to put out the fire, and there was no fire raging, and there was no damage in the grain and grass warehouse. Wang Deren patted his thigh and shouted, "No, it's a trick!" He turned around the team and killed him back to the village. When he saw the two corpses killed, Cui's wife flew away and shouted angrily. She was annoyed. Suddenly, he saw the fire in the east, and he didn't think about it carefully. He issued an order randomly: "The thief is in the east. Chase him quickly." He is too impatient and in the wrong direction. The result can be imagined.

The next day, Cui Meng returned home. When he heard that his wife was arrested, she was almost humiliated and furious. He was a single horse, so he wanted to calm down the thief. Li Shen talked and admonished, and just asked for it. Gather the villagers and discuss the great plan of the bandits. Everyone is timid and dares not answer. After repeated explanations, more than 20 people went there voluntarily, but they were empty-handed and unweaponless.

Coincidentally, someone caught two spies. They were originally a group of thieves. They were judged in public. Cui Meng advocated killing. Li Shen was not allowed to cut off the ears of the two thieves in front of the people and let them walk. Everyone was dissatisfied and complained, "If you let the tiger go back to the mountain, the thieves will come to revenge. What can you do?"

Li Shen said, "It's exactly what he wants to come and catch it all." Everyone was ordered to prepare iron forks, and borrowed bows, arrows, firecrackers and other things. There were two cannons in the county government, which were borrowed together.

At dusk, all the people come to the pass. That is the only way for thieves to enter the village. There are mountains on both sides, and the forests and grass are vast, which is most suitable for hiding.

At the end of the day, a group of thieves came together, and the people were noisy and powerful. Under Li Shen's order, the rolling stones were like rain, and the huge trees fell together, blocking the way back and forth. After that, ten thousand arrows were fired, the fire was fired, and the cannon was bombarded. A poor bandit broke his hands and broke his feet, and the corpses piled up like a mountain. There were only more than 20 people left, crying and crying, kneeling down to repent, and only begging for mercy.

The people cheered up, went straight to the thief's den, ran away the remaining bandits, and confiscated countless grains and fodder.

Since then, Li Shen has been very famous. He has run his own people's group, with more than 300 people under his command, helping the weak, helping the poor and helping the poor.
