Chapter 27 Jizhou accepts the desperate man

"Hold on!" Cao Cao suddenly shouted softly.

A few of them were standing next to a big tree. The sun was setting at the moment, and the trees were shaded. The big man didn't notice that there were still people left. At this moment, he turned around, showing a look of embarrassment and frowning slightly.

When Cao Cao saw this man with broad shoulders and narrow waist, long arms and a broad back, a straight nose, two thick eyebrows, a round forehead, and a face like a tiger, Cao Cao couldn't help but secretly cheered and said: "Brother, are you thinking this?"

You gave all your money to others, so you have to choose this bread to satisfy your hunger?"

The big man's face turned red, and then he smiled calmly and said: "I'm kidding, that dealer is a poor man. To make cakes, you need to spend money to buy noodles. It's not like I use all my energy to chop wood and move boxes. How can I not make some money?"

Seeing that he himself was dressed in shabby clothes, not as bright as the beaten hawker, but he kept saying that he was pitiful. After hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but stand in awe, clasping his fists and saying: "Your Majesty has extraordinary martial arts skills and a benevolent mind. He is a true hero! If you can't be abandoned,

, I would like to drink a few glasses of water and wine together and make friends."

The big man returned the gift quickly and said with hesitation on his face: "It's really inappropriate to ask a friend to break his banknotes when we meet him on a stranger's road."

Cao Cao laughed loudly and said: "How refreshing it is when you draw your sword to help others? Why is it that my mother-in-law is getting up at this moment, or maybe I and the others are not in the eyes of brothers?"

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

Cao Cao said happily: "This is so refreshing!"

Cao Cao took the big man's hand and looked forward. Not far away, there was a "Chen Hong's Old Shop" with a grand and respectable building. A group of people went straight over and asked for a big table. Lu Fang shouted: "Xiu Xiu

Ask more questions, good wine and good food, just come here and settle the money with you."

The waiter was overjoyed. Not long after, there were dishes on the table, two jars of good wine were opened, and the aroma was fragrant.

Cao Cao personally stood up and sifted wine with everyone. He looked at the big man and said, "Good man, please give me your name."

The big man stood up in a hurry, crossed his hands and said: "Dear dear friends, my ancestral home is Jiankang Prefecture, Jinling. My surname is Shi Mingxiu. I have loved to learn guns and sticks since I was a child. I have been determined to do it all my life. If the road is unfair, I will risk my life to protect each other. Therefore, everyone

He called me "Desperate Saburo". He came to the north to sell some sheep and horses with his uncle. Unexpectedly, his uncle fell ill on the way. He spent all his money on seeking medical treatment, but he still couldn't save him. Therefore, he lived in Jizhou, relying on

Selling firewood to make ends meet.”

Cao Cao sighed to everyone: "People in the world talk about righteousness and wealth, loyalty, mentioning Chai Daguanren, timely rain, and the reputation of others. In fact, among us, who is not worried about food and clothing? Look at these brothers Shi Xiu.

, he himself is in a state of poverty, but still wants to help someone else, this is a real hero, brothers and I should all toast him."

After listening to what he said, everyone respected Shi Xiu more and more, and they all toasted to each other. Shi Xiu was extremely moved when he saw everyone so in love with each other. He drank several glasses of wine in a row, and his eyes turned red: "Brothers, you are so loving, it really makes people's hearts beat.

I'm so hot, but my younger brother is not talented, so I would like to ask my brothers for their names."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "I'm about to introduce you to you. Look, these three people are Pei Xuan with a stern face, Deng Fei with fiery eyes, and Meng Kang with a jade flag. They were originally innocent heroes, but because of persecution by the government, they were drinking.

Machuan Luocao; these two little brothers, Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang, Sai Rengui Guo Sheng, also lost their capital in business and lived in the rivers and lakes. As for me, they are from a small capital in Yanggu County. Their surname is Wu and their name is Zhi.

.”

Shi Xiu visited everyone one by one, and when Cao Cao reported his name, he became more and more surprised: "Isn't it the martial arts master known as Wu Mengde, Broken Gate Sword?" After saying that, he pushed his chair away and prostrated on the spot: "How much virtue I accumulated in my previous life, how could I be surprised?

It’s an honor to meet my brother!”

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

Lu Fang filled up the wine for Shi Xiu and said with a smile: "Brother Wu is not a man of false etiquette, and we are all sincere heroes. Brother Shi, don't be restrained. Come on, come on, brothers, I respect you..."

A few people ate and drank, and when Shi Xiu was half drunk, he asked Cao Cao how he came to the Liao territory. Cao Cao talked about helping Chai Jin retrieve the goods, and said: "Thanks to this opportunity, I just let Wu Mou come to Liao territory again."

I have made a good brother. Now that Yinmachuan Village has been burned down, I will go to Jiangzhou to kill Cai Jiu, the dog officer who harmed Brother Pei, and then we will go back to Yanggu County together to have a good time!"

After hearing this, Shi Xiu shouted: "Brothers, how can it be so satisfying to kill a dog official without Shi Xiu? If you don't think my martial arts are low, please take me with you."

Cao Cao said: "Brother, we have seen what you are capable of before, but killing officials is like rebelling. You are not like these brothers who have fallen into the grass. The elder brothers are afraid of leading you astray."

Shi Xiu laughed and said: "I have already seen through this world. If you live honestly and call yourself a hero, you will only be struggling to survive. It is better to follow my brother and kill the dog officer, and at least we can restore peace."

Cao Cao clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Those words are just like those of my generation."

Everyone said they could enter Hong Kong and drank more and more. When they were drunk, they asked for several rooms in the hotel and slept peacefully.

When he woke up the next day, Lu Fang touched the package and called Chong Tianqu: "Which thief with a thousand cuts stole my property?"

It turned out that most of the gold and silver that Cao Cao brought with him on this trip was in Lu Fang. Guo Sheng and Guo Sheng immediately carried them into the room while they were sleeping. There were more than 600 taels of silver and about forty taels of gold in Lu Fang's package. But now there are

It is gone.

Guo Sheng was shocked when he saw it. He quickly went to look at his package. There were four to five hundred taels of silver and twenty taels of gold in it. He was furious. He kicked the door to pieces and shouted: "Shop, get out of here."

Come here, your store is full of thieves!"

The store owner came over to take a look and heard that so much money was missing. He was frightened and said tremblingly: "This store has been open for more than 80 years and has been passed down for four generations. There has never been any theft. This matter is not something our store has anything to do with. Dear guests,

Just sue the officials."

Guo Sheng said angrily: "How can I have nothing to do if I live in your store?" After saying this, he pulled the store owner and was about to punch him, but Cao Cao reached out to stop him: "The store owner doesn't look like he is lying. Don't do anything for him."

He let the shopkeeper go and asked everyone to go back to the room to discuss.

Deng Fei shouted: "It's weird, if you leave people like me here, who is not smart and sharp? Even if you are drunk, you will not let the thieves succeed."

He and Meng Kang shared a 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 official, it will inevitably be time-consuming and laborious. In my opinion, it is better to admit defeat. Fortunately, my brother also has more than a thousand taels of silver with him, so the travel expenses are total."

It’s worry-free.”

Yinmachuan Village has not been established for a long time, and these leaders are only willing to rob officials and merchants. The total amount of money they have accumulated is only about three thousand taels. Previously, they sent away the minions who were unwilling to go south, and Deng Fei took the decision.

I spent ten taels of silver to pay for bulk cargo, spent half of it in deposits, and only had more than a thousand taels left.

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

Pei Xuan was shocked when he heard this. He rushed back to his room and couldn't help but screamed. It turned out that even his money was gone.

Cao Cao chuckled and said: "That's all. I wanted to put things to rest, but my way out was cut off. With hundreds of people, how can we do this without money to eat, drink and stay? I had to steal from this thief."

He was not as angry as the others. He pondered for a moment and then asked Shi Xiu: "Brother, you can steal so much gold and silver under our noses. You are not an ordinary thief. You have been in Jizhou for a long time. Do you know that there are people here?"

What kind of famous hero? I'm going to pay a visit and see if I can get him to find the thief, make peace with him, and at least return some of the money."

Shi Xiu frowned and thought hard for a while, then slowly shook his head and said: "Although there are a few people in Jizhou City who have some bad reputations, they are like the little whirlwind in Cangzhou, the timely rain in Yunxian County, and the Yu Qilin in Daming Mansion.

Not one."

Just as he was talking, the shopkeeper suddenly came running and said: "Congratulations to our guests, you are so blessed. A thief was caught at the provincial level and the stolen money and goods were sent back."

After hearing these words, everyone was very surprised. It is said that a man sees money like a fly sees blood. Not to mention how he has the ability to catch people so quickly. It is just that there is so much gold and silver. Who can't be tempted after seeing it?

Isn't it a wonder that it can be sent back directly?

At that moment, they all got up and wanted to see the section leader.
