Vol 12 Chapter 34: Three benefactors

One evening, I returned to a ferry on the upper reaches of the river. A white-faced scholar, with two servants tall and short, walked hurriedly towards the ferry. The two servants carried the box and looked heavy.
One of the servants shouted at the ferry: "Houseman, we're going to cross the river!" A boatman was drilled out of the ferry and looked at the three of them. "It's too late today, and it's inconvenient to travel. Come back tomorrow!"
The eyes of the white-faced scholar were slightly lowered, as if thinking a little. Then he said: "There is an emergency at home, it is really unacceptable! Please ask the boatman for a convenience!" The boatman said to the white-faced scholar on the boat: "Recently, the river is unstable and often haunted by water. Boating at night is a taboo for the boatman, the old man. "It's really embarrassing!" The scholar took out a piece of silver from his arms without hesitation and handed it over, saying: "It's not possible, please ask the boatman to do it!" The boatman saw the silver immediately and waved. And say, "Get on board!"
The three men carried the box onto the ship, and the scholar reminded the two servants that Hugh would bump. When the ship arrived at the heart of the river, it was suddenly "wow!" There was a sound of water. The boatman yelled, "No, water ghost!" Three heads were revealed in the water, all of them were shawls with gritted teeth, and the boatman was dragged off the water as soon as he reached out his hand.
Russia, four heads out of the water together. The boatman laughed: "Fall into my trap, you can't escape your wings!" However, the three people on the boat did not panic because of it. Instead, they looked like a bird in a cage or a turtle in a urn. The tall and low servants smiled at the same time, and the white-faced scholars also smiled and said to themselves, "Water ghost, ha."
The boatman didn't know, so he laughed again. The ridiculous sound turned into the sound of "Guru Guru" water. The boatman and one of the "water ghosts" somehow dragged the water! The short servant pulled his hands and only heard the sound of "Bang", and a "Water Ghost" howled his eyes and was blinded by the projectile! Then with a "snap" sound, another water ghost got a whip on his face and sank.
Without a moment, I heard the sound of "booming" in the water. Then the boatman did not know what was brought into the boat by the water, and he was half dead! The short young man disguised as a servant looked at him and joked: "Zhang Zhenshan, Zhang Mazi, this is really a lot! The rain hits the beach, the chicken pecks the watermelon skin!"
Was talking, and suddenly there were three sounds of water. Three "water ghosts" were also sent to the ship. After looking at them one by one, the short young men said, "How are you? These fake water ghosts are using others' names, and they are not satisfied with them. You lose so badly with four to one, hey. But do n’t worry, you can become real ghosts soon, haha ​​"
It turned out that in the past few days, the endless three will meet with Qiao Zhi County to interrogate the robbers one by one, and then release the black cat and goshawk to scout, and finally caught the whereabouts of the bandit leader Zhang Mazi. This pockmark is usually disguised as a boatman to escape the blow, but the characteristic of pockmark on his face should be hidden unless no one sees it. After getting his whereabouts right, Wu San, the three finalists, turned into three masters and servants to lure Zhang Mazi to take the bait.
After Xu Yu, Qiaozhi County took someone to take the bandit back to his county for interrogation and conviction. At the time of the interrogation the next day, a police officer came to report and inspected Master Shi Guo. Qiaozhi County froze for a moment, and hurried back out to meet.
The name of this adult Guo is Guo Qing, and he is a fellow of Qiaozhi County. Qiao Yuxian, a magistrate, and Guo Qing, a magistrate of patrol and inspection, came this time for this gangster and his predecessor. Qiao Yu busy escorted Guo Yushi to the back hall to wait for tea to discuss the progress of the case.
During the period, Guo Yushi said: "This endless trip, in addition to the official business, there is a private matter. That is to come and see my life-saving benefactor." Qiao Zhixian quickly replied: "I don't know where Mr. Guo's benefactor lives , Xiaguan also arranged for the carriage to be served! "Guo Yushi sighed and said:" I don't know where my benefactors live, I only heard that there is no end! "
Qiaozhi County is the grandfather of Wuzhen County's parents. Isn't it easy to check the number of people? So he said: "I don't know who the surname of Gui's surname is, who is the next official, so he sends the government to inquire!" Guo Yushi looked embarrassed: "The names that the three confidantes never left." You don't even know what people call you, where are you going to find? However, Guo Yushi and Qiao Yu were both scholars in the same subject, and their official positions were higher than themselves. But helpless Qiaozhi County had to stubbornly ask, "I don't know what are the characteristics of your precious person?"
After Guo Yushi tried hard to recall it, he said, "It doesn't have much special features. It's just that one of the three graces is a warrior who is tall and heroic, and the other is a young man who is not tall. It ’s hard to say. The third Eun Gong has a long sword and looks like a white-faced scholar.
Speaking of the three, Guo Yushi suddenly remembered something and said,
Yes! My three Engong's dress is different from the rest of the world, that dress is something you and I have never seen before! "
By this point, the momentum in Qiao Yu's heart finally fell. It turned out that Guo Yushi's benefactor was his sincere friend, and he had no end to it. However, Qiao Yu didn't have the same tastes as ordinary people, but smiled and said to Guo Yushi: "In this way, the younger brother already knows who the three Eun Gongs of Guo Yushi are. Xu Yu needs Jing Jing In a few moments, the three masters will definitely come here. "
Guo Qing didn't take Qiao Yu's words too seriously at this time, even if Qiao Yu packed the tickets like this, it was the same. After all, in Guo Qing's view, Qiao Zhixian, as a parent official, has already described the characteristics of his benefactor in such detail, and Qiaozhi County will certainly find it. But where did he know that the inexhaustible three and Qiao Yu were close friends.
On the same day, Qiao Yu hosted a banquet to treat Guo Yushi. During the meeting, Qiao Yu asked about Guo Yushi's relationship with the three graces. Guo Yushi said: "Brother Qiao said, if there are no three graces, not only I do n’t have Guo Qing ’s life in this life, even in the afterlife and the whole life!
All the people present were surprised. Was Guo Yushi a bit exaggerated? However, only one person, Qiao Yu, knew that the need for his three brothers to take action was worthy of Guo Yushi.
Is on the way to the National Day exam. Barren mountains and ridges, as if walking in a steamer. There is no sun in the sky, and I don't know why this mountain is so hot. Guo Qing looked around. There was a big rock under a big tree on a small hill in front of him to rest. He hurried towards it. As we approached, we saw three people lying on top of Dashi, chatting while lying half-dead and lying down.
Guo Qing stepped forward and clenched his fist, "Xiaosheng Guo Qing, went to Beijing to pass the exam and disturb the three repairs!" The three looked up, and one of the big men handed over a water bag and said, "The weather is hot, drink some water. Let's rest for a while. "Only then did Guo Qing see clearly, and the three people were holding a white thing in their mouths, and they were smoking green smoke. What Guo Qing most cared about was that the three of them had never seen them dressed. Guo Qing felt as if he had met an overseas fairy.
Guo Qinggudonggudong took a few sips of cold water in a row, and suddenly felt a sweat on his face, and said with a fist, "Thank you three." One of the three men moved to the side to make room, Say: "Sit down and have a rest."
Four people chatted while resting. Guo Qing soon discovered that although these three were not scholars who participated in the scientific examination and did not attack poetry books, the solution was extraordinary. Many of the things they know are unheard of. I really do n’t know what books they have read. I simply doubt that the three people read the books.
Speaking of Qiu Wei this year, Guo Qing asked: "Listening to what the three said, they must be masters, and they are proficient and easy to manage. Please also ask the three to look at the future for me. I wonder if they can reveal a little chance? "
The dwarf among the three said, "Come on the birthday horoscope." Guo Qing reported the birthday horoscope to him. The dwarf pinched, and then his face dignified, and the sweat on his face shed automatically. I wonder if it was the heat or the fate of my own life that surprised the master. The master pinched for a moment and greeted the scholar with a dignified look, saying, "Look, look at his life."
The tall man in the book listened to the hexagram reported by the short man, gestured a few fingers, and said, "Yes. It's a cycle." The short mage tentatively said, "Shut it up?" Master Murong shook his head. , Said: "The collection is affirmed, but not now." Then, he greeted Guo Qing and said: "Brother Guo, I teach you the two-word secret, you must keep it in mind, remember to use it at critical moments." In his ear, he said something, and Guo Qing suddenly opened his mouth in shock.
Later that day. It was still dark, and Guo Qing walked down the mountain and started to rain. No wonder it was so hot during the day, it turned out to be raining. It's not hot anymore, but it's getting cold again, and we can hardly see anything but weeds and bushes around. At this time he urgently needed to find a place to shelter from the rain, because the books in his package would soon be destroyed by heavy rain. Looking around, one direction was a little bright. Guo Qing thought, there must be someone there! So he quickly stumbled towards the light. When approaching, the surrounding scenes suddenly lit by lightning are like daylight, and in front is a temple.
