The story of the female giant insect

Mother-in-law-Sister-in-law Gu: On the road leading to Dengzhou, the number of pedestrians gradually thinned out, and the merchants who came and went found an inn to stay early before the sun turned west. Just because tigers in Wanhua Mountain outside Dengzhou City have recently injured people, the prefect of Dengzhou has posted notices at various passways, so pedestrians and merchants naturally no longer take the risk to go there. The hunters in Dengzhou were previously detained and brought to the magistrate's hall. The hall issued a document stating that the hunters at the foot of the mountain were ordered to go into the mountains to hunt tigers: if they hunted tigers within three days, they would be rewarded with hundreds of coins and flowers and red flowers; if they hunted within three days, If you don't catch the tiger, you will be punished for eighty years and the shackles will last for one month. This time, even the governors of each township have issued tiger hunting warrants. It seems that the state is determined to control the tiger problem. There is a family of hunters at the foot of Dengzhou Mountain. They have two brothers. The elder brother is named Jie Zhen and the younger brother is named Jie Bao. The two brothers both use iron and steel forks, and have amazing martial arts skills. They are among the best masters among the hunters in this state. The two brothers each have a nickname, Xie Zhen is called "Two-Headed Snake" and Xie Bao is called "Two-tailed Scorpion". Their parents passed away one after another, and neither of them ever married because of their poor family background. Among the relatives, there is only one cousin from my aunt, Mrs. Gu, who opened a hotel in Shilipai outside the east gate of Dengzhou City, and supported them in a supplementary manner. The two brothers also brought some game to visit their cousin during the holidays. Xie Zhen and Jie Bao set up a voluntary limit document in the Dengzhou hall. To put it bluntly, this voluntary limit document means that they are forced to complete the official duties within a time limit, and the document must also state that it is voluntary, and they will be punished if they fail to complete it. The two of them didn't dare to neglect. They hurriedly returned home and packed up their tiger hunting equipment: nest bow, medicinal arrows, crossbow, and fork. They put on leopard skin pants and took steel forks. When they walked out of the house, the snow had started to fall. The man wore a white cloak and ran towards Wanhua Mountain. Brothers Xie Zhen and Jie Bao made a nest in the old forest of Wanhua Mountain, climbed into a tree and waited for a day, but saw no sign of the tiger. The next day they brought dry food and went up the mountain again. I got off the nest late at night and climbed up the tree. I waited until the fifth watch, but there was no movement again. Xie Zhen suggested moving Wo Gong to another place. The two took the Wo Gong and climbed down to the edge of the Western Mountain. They sat there until dawn without waiting. Xie Bao couldn't hold back his anger: "Seeing that the three-day deadline is coming, if you don't surrender to the tiger, you will be punished by the rod. Brother, what do you think this should be done?" Xie Zhen climbed down from the tree and looked around carefully. He said: "It doesn't matter. There is a spring at the foot of the mountain. Tigers must pass here to drink water. We just wait patiently in the lee of the slope." On the third night, when the fourth watch arrived, the two of them couldn't bear the hunger, cold and sleepiness. Back to back, I was about to take a nap. Before I could close my eyes, I suddenly heard a loud "bang" sound from the nest bow. The two men jumped up with steel forks in hand. When they looked around, they saw a beautiful tiger rolling on the ground after being struck by a medicine arrow. When the tiger saw someone coming, it jumped up and ran up the mountain with the arrow in hand. Jie Zhen and Jie Bao were not willing to let go, and they strode forward to pursue them. After chasing him halfway up the mountain, the tiger slowed down. Jie Bao stepped forward with a steel fork in his hand and was about to throw it at the tiger. Unexpectedly, the tiger's medicine took effect. He roared, jumped up on the ground, and rolled down the mountain. The two brothers were so anxious that they stamped their feet. Jie Bao looked down the mountain: "Brother, look, isn't this the back garden of Mao Shan at the bottom of the mountain?" Xie Zhen nodded: "Yes, it is Mao Taigong's Zhuangzi." Jie Bao urged: "Hurry up. , let's go and ask for it." With that said, the two of them went down the mountain with the steel fork in hand. It was already dawn when Xie Zhen and Xie Bao came to Mao Taigong's house and knocked on the door. After waiting for a long time, Mao Shan came out. The two explained their intention: to borrow a road to go to the back garden to pick up the tiger they had shot. "It doesn't matter. Since it was left in my garden, it's easy to pick it up after breakfast. You two must be hungry." Mao Shan said and asked the banker to prepare breakfast. The two of them had a hasty meal and wine, and then they were in a hurry to go to the back garden to get the tiger. Mao Shan arranged for the guests to serve tea. Jie Zhen and Jie Bao did not dare to contradict each other, so they had to sit down again. After waiting for about an hour, Mao Shancai led Xie Zhen and Jie Bao to the back of the village and asked the guest to open the door with the key. The banker tinkered for a long time but couldn't open it. Mao Shan watched his son guard the door and said, "No one has come to open the door in this back garden for a long time. The lock spring may be rusty. Go get a hammer and break it open." Zhuang Ke took out the hammer from his side and opened the lock. Everyone entered the park and looked around, but could not find the tiger. Mao Shan followed Xie Zhen and Xie Bao and said, "Did you two see it wrong? Are you careful? Did the tiger fall into my garden?" Xie Zhen said, "How could we have seen it wrong? Daxiao Just running in this mountain, can you still recognize that this is your backyard?" Jie Bao squatted on the snow and searched carefully, shouting: "Brother, come and see, the snow here has been flattened, and there are There was blood on it.

Mr. Mao, why did you say that the tiger is not here? It must have been a guest from your village who carried the tiger away!" Mao Shan: "What, you are actually falsely accusing me? You two saw with your own eyes that the garden gate was locked and not opened. The banker broke the lock and got into the house..." Jie Bao couldn't bear it for a long time: "Bah! You are an upright person, and you have been appointed as a secretary in the government. You are incapable of hunting tigers, but you hunted us. The tiger went to ask for a reward. "Xie Zhen: "You can't do it by asking my brother to take the rod!" The two sides couldn't argue. Angrily, Xie Bao rushed to search in front of the hall. When he couldn't find it, he became angry and broke the tables and chairs in front of the hall. Xie Zhen Mao Shan also climbed up and folded the railing in front of the hall and punched in. "Here comes someone, Jie Zhen and Jie Bao are robbing them in the daytime!" The villagers of the Mao family were well prepared and surrounded Jie Zhen and Jie Bao. When the two brothers were about to break out, Mao Zhongyi, the son of Mao Shan, Kong Mu, the sixth son of the state, and Wang Zheng, the son-in-law of Mao Shan, arrived with the government officials from the state. Xie Zhen and Xie Bao were defeated with their bare hands and were kidnapped. They were escorted to the city. Many hunters from the countryside also came. They knew that Mao Shan was a vicious person, and they were all worried about Jie Zhen and Jie Bao. When Sun Li, the commander of the army, came back from training at the school, he saw a group of servants escorting Xie Zhen and Jie Bao. He quickly asked two of his attendants to find out what was going on. It turned out that Sun Li, Xie Zhen and Jie Bao were brothers. Sun Xin, the husband of Sister-in-law Gu, the cousin of the Xie brothers, is the military commander of Dengzhou. He is in charge of the military affairs of the state, responsible for the training and instruction of the army, and supervises the arrest of thieves. With a long spear and a tiger-eye bamboo steel whip hanging from his wrist, he was known as "Sick Yuchi". He got this nickname because he used the same weapon as Yuchi Gong, the founding general of the Tang Dynasty. His younger brother Sun Xinsheng was very strong, which made him so strong. His brother Sun Li taught him how to use the whip and spear. Sun Xin was also nicknamed "Little Yuchi" in the Jianghu. Sun Li asked about the reason and quickly took the training soldiers back to the camp and rode to the government office. . In the government office, the prefect had already taken the bribe and forced the Xie brothers to confess without asking any questions. The prefect said: "The three-day limit was over and we didn't hunt the tiger. Why did we go to Mao Shan's house to commit murder and robbery? We didn't follow the truth." Invited?" Xie Zhen and Xie Bao argued the facts and argued the case, but the prefect refused to listen. It was also reported that Mao Shou, Mao Shan's family, came to the court to testify. Mao Shou said: "The door to the back garden of Mao's house has not been opened for many years. The chain springs are all rusty. I smashed them open with a hammer. Where is the tiger?" Xie Zhen: "You said that the tiger has not fallen in your backyard, so where did the blood stains in the garden come from?" Mao Shan He hurriedly continued: "My son Zhongyi led the villagers to hunt a tiger. It fell from the mountain to the back garden, leaving some blood stains. You can't find it if you ask!" Jie Zhen: "Why, you shot this tiger. ?” Mao Shan: “We shot it. " Xie Zhen: "It's in the back garden of your house." Mao Shan: "Yeah, not bad. "Xie Zhen:" Mao Shou said, the lock spring is rusty and no one has entered the back garden for many days. Let me ask you, how did you take out that tiger?" Mao Shan and Mao Shou, you stared at me, I stared at you, speechless. Jie Bao: "Speak!" Xie Zhen turned to the prefect: " If their words don't match, you should ask for more information!" Magistrate: "You two brothers are really good at quibbling..." Wang Kongmu leaned into the magistrate's ear and said, "These two unruly people will not be punished without severe punishment. Mao Shan: "These two robbers rely on their martial arts to do all kinds of evil." Jie Bao is known as the two-tailed scorpion, and Jie Zhen is nicknamed the two-headed snake. Is it possible for the peaceful people to have such a bandit name?" The prefect: "I had known that you two were making friends with bandits in the Wanhua Mountain area..." Jie Bao couldn't hold it down for a long time. He stood up and shouted at the prefect: " Stop it! Mao Shan falsely accused Liang of being a thief, and the flaw has already been exposed, why don't you go and ask for it!" The prefect accused Jie Bao of roaring in court and put him on the 80th board. Jie Zhen hurriedly interceded for Jie Bao, and the prefect took the opportunity to let them two Xie Zhen and Xie Bao were not willing to accept the confession, but the hunters outside the government office were also angry and clamoring for justice. At this time, a section-level Lehe who was on duty in the government office came in. He reported that Sun Li, the commander of the state's army, had asked for an audience. The magistrate immediately ordered Lehe to put the Jie brothers on death row, and the others retreated to the hall. Lehe was originally from Maozhou, and he had a good voice and sang well. , known as "Iron Miaozi". His sister married Sun Li, a military horse, and he found a job in the state as a prison boy. Leping usually liked to make a boxing stick, and Sun Li saw that he was good at martial arts. , and taught him some marksmanship. When the magistrate saw Sun Tiha coming in, he stood up to greet him: "Sun Tiha came just in time. There was a group of unruly people making noise outside the government office, so Tiha sent them away. Sun Li: "I heard outside just now that they are here to file a complaint. Why not let them come out to testify?"

"The prefect said: "I have heard for a long time that the hunters in Wanhua Mountain are not good people. Today they gathered a crowd to make noise and disrupt the government office. It is clear that they have no law. As the governor, why do you do nothing?" Sun Li: "The circumstances of this case are unreasonable and unreasonable, and it is difficult to convince the public. How can I handle it?" Magistrate: "Nowadays, banditry is rampant in Shandong. If something goes wrong in Dengzhou City, I'm afraid you can't afford the punishment!" Sun Li: "In this case, your Excellency should interrogate this case and understand it. The hunters can disperse without being driven out. Otherwise, it will arouse public anger. If there is anything wrong at the gate of Dengzhou City, Sir, you It's hard to escape the relationship!" Magistrate: "You speak for two important criminals, are you related to them?" Sun Li was speechless for a moment. Magistrate: "I have my own judgment, and I will tell the hunters in front of the Yamen. If you make any more noise, Get punished together with those two robbers! Retreat!" Sun Li and the prefect broke up on bad terms. After Sun Li left, the prefect asked Wang Kongmu to send someone to Shilipai Hotel in the east of the city to monitor Sun Li's brother Sun Xin, hoping to get rid of him. A gap opened in his body: evidence of the close relationship between the Sun brothers and the bandit leaders of Dengyun Mountain, Zou Yuan and Zou Run, was found ten miles away from the east gate of Dengzhou City. Sun Xin and Mrs. Gu opened a shop by the roadside. The guise of "wine" is more eye-catching than the plaque on the shop. Sun Xin is very popular and has met many heroes in the world. They often compete with each other in martial arts. Sister-in-law Gu is not an ordinary person. She has good kung fu and is not inferior to Sun Xin. During the fight, twenty or thirty people couldn't get close, and people in the world called her the "Mother Bug". Not only was she good at martial arts, but she was also good at business. She killed cattle and set up bets in the store, and her business was very prosperous, all because of the Shili brand hotel. She took care of it. Early that morning, two businessmen came to the store, asking around and trying to take advantage of Mrs. Gu. She was not polite and sent them away in a few seconds. Not long after the two businessmen left, another one came from the road. He was also dressed as a businessman. He was quite delicate, with a fair face. He looked at Sister-in-law Gu and said: "Are you Auntie Gu?" Auntie Gu: "Are you?" "I am Lehe, and Brother Sun Li is my brother-in-law. "Lehe said with his hands raised. "Oh, it turns out to be brothers Lehe. Oh, isn't it? She looks a lot like my sister-in-law. "Sister-in-law Gu said and let Lehe into the back room. Lehe ignored the family affairs and hurriedly told Sister-in-law Gu the whole story of how Xie Zhen and Jie Bao were beaten to death row, especially the fact that the Mao family wanted to bury the Xie family. The brother was dead and had been bribed. The situation was very urgent. Sister-in-law Gu took out some broken silver and handed it to Lehe and said, "Go to the prison and sort it out." When your second brother comes back, I will discuss with him how to rescue these two brothers. " Not long after Le He left, Sun Xin came back. Sister-in-law Gu Xue told what happened and discussed with Sun Xin: "What can you do to save my brother?" Sun Xin: "Tai Gong Mao is rich and powerful. He is on guard. If your brother comes out and refuses to make peace with him, he must try to outdo both of them, and he will surely die at his hands. If we don't rob the prison, I'm afraid it will be a disaster. "Sister-in-law Gu: "I'll go with you tonight. " Sun Xin: "You are so impatient! This matter needs to be considered in the long term. After being robbed, you must also consider where to go. Besides, robbing a prison is a big deal, and we and seven or eight other men alone can't do it. My brother must be involved in this matter. "Sister-in-law Gu; "Then go find brother quickly. " Sun Xin: "The two uncles and nephews Zou Yuan and Zou Run who went to Dengyun Mountain are also indispensable. If they help each other, it will be done. "Sun Xin rode overnight to invite his uncle and nephew from the Zou family. When Lehe returned to the city, he first went to a store to buy steamed buns and cooked beef, and took them to the prison to see the Jie brothers. Lehe told Xie Zhen and Jie Bao, your cousin Sister-in-law Gu is trying to find ways to get you out of prison. You can keep this money and use it to run the small cell. I will contact you if anything happens. Lehe was about to go out, but he met Bao Jiejie who was drunk and went to the prison. Let's go. Lehe quickly hid behind the door and said to Xiao Laozi: "I put them both in big shackles. Well, there will be trouble in a few days." Seeing that the situation was urgent, Lehe took the opportunity to get out of the prison and ran back to Shilipai to report the news to Aunt Gu. At dusk, Lehe rushed to Shilipai, and it happened that Sun Xin also lured two heroes back. The leader called Zou Yuan, a native of Laizhou, was a loyal and generous man, good at martial arts, and had a strong temperament. He was nicknamed "Chu Lin Long" in the world. The second hero was Zou Run, who was Zou Yuan's nephew and was about the same age. His uncle was similar in stature and was known as the "One-horned Dragon." At that time, we met and sat down to drink together to discuss how to rescue Jie Zhen and Jie Bao. I was very anxious, so you spoke to me one by one.

Sister-in-law Gu: "If we leave it to our eldest brother, he has already hit a snag in front of the prefect; if we wait two days to see what happens, we are afraid that Mao Shan will harm Jie Zhen and Jie Bao's lives. After much deliberation, there is only one way." --Robbery and rebel!" Sun Xin: "The matter has come to this, this is the only way to do it. What do you uncles and nephews think?" Zou Yuan: "Wait a minute, killing officials and robbing prisons is not a trivial matter. After it is done, there must be a place to go. "Sister-in-law Gu: "As long as I save my two brothers, I will go anywhere." Sun Xin: "How about climbing to Yun Mountain?" Zou Yuan: "We don't have enough food and grass to climb Yun Mountain. If we go to Dengzhou, I'm afraid. I can't stay." Sister-in-law Gu: "Then where can we go?" Zou Yuan: "Now Liangshan is very prosperous. Song Gongming is recruiting talents, and many heroes from all over the world are seeking refuge. After the prison robbery, we happened to go to Liangshan. I don't know what everyone wants. How about next?" Zou Yuan mentioned that he would defect to Liangshan, which was in line with everyone's wishes. Zou Run raised a question: What should we do if the soldiers and horses from Dengzhou come after us after we rob the prison? Sun Xin said: "I have thought about this section a long time ago. I will go to my brother and ask him to follow us to rebel." Zou Yuan: "I'm afraid he won't let go." Sister-in-law Gu: "At this point, he has to rebel if he wants to, and if he doesn't want to rebel, he has to rebel. Could it be said that if the brothers rebelled, can the elder brother still become an official? However, the eldest brother If you want to go against it, it will take some trouble, so just follow my arrangements." We drank half the night and rested until dawn. Sun Xin sent two men to push the cart and went to the city to pick up Sun Tiha and his sister-in-law Leda Niangzi. Sister-in-law Gu told the boy: "I just want to say that I am seriously ill and have a few important words to say to my sister-in-law." The boy pushed the cart away. Sun Xinzhuan was waiting in front of the door, waiting to pick up his brother. At the end of the meal, I saw a car coming from a distance, carrying Mrs. Leda. Behind her, Sun Tiha was riding a horse, followed by a dozen soldiers, walking towards Shilipai. Sun Xin stepped forward and asked his sister-in-law to get out of the car, and they went to the room to check on his sister-in-law's illness. Sun Ti took charge of Ma Lai. When he entered the door, he asked: "Brother, what disease does my sister suffer from?" Sun Xin replied: "Her symptoms are very strange. Please come inside and talk." Sun Li and Le Le The eldest lady entered the room and saw that there was no patient. Sun Li asked: "Which room are my siblings sick in?" He saw Sister-in-law Gu coming in from outside, followed by Zou Yuan and Zou Run. Sister-in-law Gu took Mrs. Le's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, you are here!" Mrs. Le said, "Ah, sister-in-law! You..." Sun Li: "Brother-in-law, aren't you sick?" Sister-in-law Gu: " If you are not sick, can you alert your brother and sister-in-law?" Sun Li: "What disease do you have?" Sister-in-law Gu: "I have the disease to save my brother." Sun Li understood immediately: "I am the solution. Brothers Zhen and Jiebao also argued with the magistrate. Instead of being merciful, he started quarreling with me. Ting Lehe Xiandi said, "You are friends with Lu Lin, and he wants to take advantage of me." He's guilty!" Sister-in-law Gu: "At this point, let's just say it's simple. We thought about it again and again, and we have no other ideas. There is only one way left..." Sun Li: "Which way?" Sister-in-law Gu: "Jie. I'm going to jail!" Sun Li said: "I am an officer in Dengzhou, how can I do such a thing?" Sister-in-law Gu: "Since my brother refuses, we will fight you to the death today!" After saying this, he pulled out a hand from his side. Come with two knives. Zou Yuan and Zou Run each pulled out their short swords in their hands. Sun Li shouted: "Brothers and sisters, please stay here! Don't be reckless! Let's take a long-term plan and discuss it slowly." Mrs. Leda was so shocked that she couldn't say anything for a long time. Sister-in-law Gu: "Since my brother refuses to go to the prison, let's send my sister-in-law back to the city first. We'll do it ourselves!" Sun Li saw that there was no way out from this situation, so he said, "Even if I do what you say, you still have to treat me. Go home and pack your luggage before taking action." Sister-in-law Gu: "Lehe has already made arrangements for this. It won't be too late to go to the prison and pick up the luggage." Sun Li sighed and said helplessly. : "If you all want to do this, how can I shirk it? I can't be sued for you in the future? Let's let it go! Let's discuss how to act together." Mrs. Leda breathed a sigh of relief and went into the back room to rest. . The remaining people sat down to discuss tomorrow's prison raid. The next day, Zou Yuan and Zou Run packed up the gold, silver, property, and horses from Dengyun Mountain, and brought twenty of their confidants to gather at Shili Pai Shop. Sun Xin's family also had seven or eight confidants, as well as a dozen soldiers brought by Sun Li, and more than 40 people. Sun Xin slaughtered two pigs and a sheep, and everyone was full. Sister-in-law Gu hid the sharp knife under the meat and pretended to be a woman delivering food to go first. Sun Xin followed Sun Li, and Zou Yuan led Zou Run. They each led their troops and divided into two groups to enter the city. In Dengzhou Prefecture Prison. Bao Jieji brought a bag of poison for Xiao Laozi to put in the rice and send it to Jie Zhen and Jie Bao. Coincidentally, Lehe happened upon this incident, and he stepped forward to help knock the rice to the ground as an excuse. Bao Jieji was angry when he heard a woman delivering food outside the cell door.

Baojie asked the woman to bring the food in. That woman was none other than Mrs. Gu. While Lehe was talking to Mrs. Gu in the package, he went around to the back, opened the cell door, and whispered to Xie Zhen and Xie Bao: "Your sister is here, just wait for the response." With that, he told the two The yoke was opened. At this time, a small prisoner ran in from outside and reported to Bao Jieji: "Sun Tiha knocked on the door and wanted to come in." Bao Jieji said, "Sun Tiha is a camp officer. What's the point of him coming to my cell?" Business? Don't open the door!" Sun Tiha banged the door outside. Bao Jieji was also anxious, and shouted at the small cell guarding the door: "Don't open the door for him!" Sister-in-law Gu quietly followed Bao Jieji, pulled out two bright sharp knives, and shouted: "My Where are brothers?" Bao Jieji turned around and ran away. Xie Zhen and Xie Bao were running out of the prison with big yoke in hand, facing Bao Jieji. Bao Jie was caught off guard and was hit by Jie Bao with the tip of his flail, splitting his head into pieces. Sister-in-law Gu picked up the knife and knocked over three or five small cells. She yelled and beat him out of the prison. Sun Li and Sun Xin held the prison door. The Jiansi brothers, Sister-in-law Gu, and Lehe came out of the prison and rushed to the state government office together. Zou Yuan and Zou Run led their men to take Wang Kongmu out of the state government office and beheaded him in the street. The two groups of people marched together, shouting and running towards the city gate. The walkers were in front, and Sun Tiha on horseback, with his bow bent and arrows nocked, was behind. People on the street have closed their doors and dare not come out. The officials in the state recognized Sun Tiha, so who dared to step forward to stop him? The crowd surrounded Sun Li and ran out of the city gate. When they arrived at Shili Pai Shop, they took Mrs. Le out and got into the car. Mrs. Gu got on the horse and escorted her forward. Jie Zhen and Jie Bao said to everyone: "Mr. Mao, an old thief, can't take advantage of him! If we don't avenge this revenge, when will we do it again?" "That's right." Sun Li arranged for Sun Xin and Le He to protect the car and go ahead. , "We will come soon." He said that he, Jie Zhen, Jie Bao, Zou Yuan, Zou Run and their men rushed up to Maotaigong Village. Mao Zhongyi and Mao Taigong were drinking and celebrating in the village, thinking that Bao Jieji had eliminated the two hidden dangers of Jie Zhen and Jie Bao for them. The dealer had no defense at all. A group of heroes rushed in with shouts, captured Mao Zhongyi and Mao Taigong, and beheaded them. Then he went to the house and found more than ten packages of gold and silver. He led seven or eight good horses in the backyard and set the courtyard on fire. Everyone mounted their horses and took a group of people with them. Less than thirty miles away, they met up with the team of chariots led by Sun Xin and rushed up to Liangshan Park at starry night.
