Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Zhao Zhen sent Jiao Ting and Sister Hei to accompany him, and selected two tents to accommodate Cao Tielin, Xiulebao and Jinlebo.

There was nothing to say that night. Around the third watch, Zhao Zhen heard a distant drum music in the camp. This was the birthday of the incense officials in the temple and the holy emperor. Zhao Zhen didn't care, turned over and hugged Cheng Wan'er and fell asleep.

At the fourth watch, Cheng Wan'er had finished washing up, and called Zhao Zhen to help him wash up. The sergeants in the camp also got up. Zhao Ji and Zhuang Ding bought breakfast and ate them all.

As soon as everyone left the camp, the large group of people followed the flow of people and walked to Jianing Hall. On the left side of the platform outside the palace gate, Governor He sent people to circle a place with an excellent view. Zhao Zhen and others went there to watch.

When Zhao Zhen and others arrived, there were already people who had come earlier, and the entire Dongyue Temple was full. It was crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and people were watching on the rooftops.

The mountain shed that had been built long ago was filled with gold and silver utensils, brocade and satin. There are six horses in full saddle and bridle tied outside the door, including one owned by Zhao Zhen.

There was an endless stream of people burning incense, and hundreds of servants scolding them from time to time, so the peace in the temple was barely maintained.

After waiting for about an hour, Magistrate He came to the platform under the escort of a large group of white-clothed officials. A drum was beaten to stop the incense burners from gathering.

Two yamen servants walked up to the altar, one yamen servant in front, and beat the gong several times, and the surroundings became quiet. Another old government servant held a bamboo pole, first meditated on the gods, and then shouted loudly: "Invite the strong sumo wrestlers to come up to the stage to compete."

As soon as he finished speaking, a crowd of people was seen, with dozens of pairs of whistle sticks leading a plaque and two embroidered flags. When Zhao Zhen and others looked at it, the first plaque read: Taiyuan Sumo Optimus Prime Ren Yuan . Each embroidered flag has a line of large characters embroidered on it. On the left: punching the tiger of Nanshan, and on the right: kicking the black dragon of Beihai.

Hua Rong stood aside: "What a loud tone."

Zhao Zhen said: "Let's see what his methods are."

Looking behind, there was a big man on the sedan. Cao Tielin said: "Official, this is Ren Yuan."

When I looked at it, I saw that this was a grand party, with thirty or twenty pairs of handsome men in front of the sedan and behind the sedan, with arms covered in front and surrounded by people behind.

Look at this Ren Yuan, he really has the appearance of revealing truth and the appearance of King Kong. Open your chest and show the power of filial piety and defeating tigers. Sitting on the side of the sedan bed, you have the power to overwhelm the mountain.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help shouting: "What a strong man."

Cao Tielin listened and said: "It's not a serious illness, how can we make him show off his power?"

Jiao Ting said: "Let him be majestic."

While several people were talking, they heard a cry from the mountains, but it was Ren Yuan who went up to the offering platform, took off his clothes, except for his scarf, and held a Shu brocade jacket, and bowed to everyone around him: "When the sun rises in the east, When the sun sets in the west, the two suns and moons unite the universe, reaching Nanman in the south and Youyan in the north. Who dares to compete with me? "

Ren Yuan's disciples in the audience also started making noises.

The old yamen official raised his hands and said, "Teacher competed for first place in wrestling last year, but this year there is no need to take the lead. Teacher will rest first, and if there is a winner, then compete with the teacher."

After saying that, someone brought a chair and asked Ren Yuan to sit aside.

"The fight for supremacy in the arena is about life and death. Who dares to take advantage of the huge profits?" Before he could finish his words, seven or eight big men rushed to the stage.

Jiao Ting said: "Grand official, I have never met an opponent in my skills like this for a long time. Today I will show off my skills on the stage. If I am lucky enough to defeat this guy, I will also gain some glory with the high official."

After that, without waiting for Zhao Zhen to speak, he jumped off the platform and went up to the offering platform. Ten people, working in pairs, decided five winners at once.

The yamen servant asked Ren Yuan to come to the stage, took out the lottery box, and asked six people to draw lots. After a while, Ren Yuan, Jiao Ting, and another one named Duan won quickly.

There were only three people left on the stage. The old yamen officer looked at the three of them and said hesitantly: "Are you and the other three going to compare two by two?"

Ren Yuan shouted: "Why are you so verbose? You are all competing with me. This year, we only competed once, and I met a weakling. I didn't even try hard, but he jumped off the stage by himself. The one who died this year, Come and take your life in my hands." He glared fiercely at Jiao Ting and Duan Jikuai.

Duan Jikuai was also anxious: "I've never done anything like this before. How dare you say such arrogant things? I'll teach you a lesson."

As he said this, he was about to compete with Ren Yuan.

The old yamen officer glanced at Magistrate He, saw him nodding slightly, and said: "In that case, you two compete first. The life and death certificates have been signed, and each of you has his own heart."

After that, step aside.

The two men stepped forward fiercely. Ren Yuan's heart was filled with ignorance, and Duan Ji Kuai's anger rushed to his forehead. With a "bang", the two collided with each other. The hands and feet kicked, back and forth, and they fought for seven or eight times. After all, Ren Yuan was taller and stronger than him. He grabbed Duan Jikuai's wrist, shouted, picked him up, and threw him down from the stage. Duan Jikui struggled for a long time before he got up.

Seeing this, the old yamen officer stepped forward and asked, "Teacher Ren, please take a break before fighting this strong man."

After hearing this, Ren Yuan exclaimed: "No need, I knocked him down earlier. It's not too late for me to go back and rest."

Seeing Ren Yuan's firmness, the old yamen officer did not try to persuade him. He motioned for Jiao Ting to come forward. With a sound of gong, the two of them bowed, opened their hands, panted heavily, and slowly approached each other.

Zhao Zhen also looked at it with concern, and saw that the two of them had set up their own doors, and Jiao Ting did not move, only staring at Ren Yuan going down the third road.

However, Jiao Ting noticed early that Ren Yuan had trouble turning and was slow to change feet, so he deliberately let Ren Yuan come forward to attack. When Ren Yuan was halfway there, Jiao Ting quickly stepped aside, turning three times and twice, causing Ren Yuan to lose his pace.

Jiao Ting took the opportunity to punch Ren Yuan at the junction of his chest and abdomen, giving him a staggering blow. Ren Yuan hammered the ground with his hands, stood up, and rushed towards Jiao Ting. Jiao Ting jumped to the side and kicked Ren Yuan in the side, causing Ren Yuan to roar in anger.

Ren Yuan was agitated, and his attack became more and more disorganized.

Seeing the opportunity, Jiao Ting grabbed Ren Yuan's wrist and took advantage of the momentum of Ren Yuan's attack to lead him towards the outside of Xiantai. When he came, he stretched out his foot and kicked his back violently, and pushed him down hard to the altar.

Tens of thousands of Xiangguan saw it and cheered in unison.

Seeing that Ren Yuan had kicked his master over, Ren Yuan's disciples quickly stepped forward to help him. Ren Yuan was so heavy that he fell from a high place. Like Duan Jikuai, he lost his breath and couldn't struggle for a while.

Ren Yuan's group of disciples in the audience saw this, and they clamored and rushed into the offering platform to grab the valuables on the mountain shed. On the edge of the platform, Tang Bin, Wen Zhongrong, Cui Ye, Wang Tianba, Min Gong, Bao Xu and other heroes saw each other. How could they bear it? Each pulls a stick, rushes over, and beats them when they are rounded.

In the end, it was a step too late. The mountain shed had long been torn down, and the gold, silver, cloth, and silk were snatched away by the onlookers in the chaos.

Fortunately, the six horses in full saddle and harness were still there, so we didn't get nothing.

It was noisy for a while, and Ren Yuan didn't know when to take advantage of the chaos and leave.

There was a mess everywhere under the stage. Magistrate He hated the people who were dragged to the mountain shed and shouted: "Arrest Ren Yuan and his disciples and take them back to the Yamen. The loss of all the property will be charged to him."

After hearing this, the Yamen servants left half of the troops to protect Magistrate He. The remaining troops, led by the two leaders, got off the platform and hurried out.

The pilgrims in the temple also hurried down the mountain. With this commotion, the temple suddenly became quiet. Tang Bin and others went to the back to lead the six good horses and guard them at the edge of the platform.

Magistrate He sent someone to ask Zhao Zhen to come forward and said, "These crazy gangsters are so bold. If Master Zhao hadn't taken action, I don't know what the trouble would have been. Once these gangsters are captured, I have to make a good deal of it to get rid of my heart." Mr. Zhao, don’t worry, Ren Yuan will naturally compensate for the lost goods and deliver them to this brave man.”

Zhao Zhen said: "Your Excellency, you are very flattering. You have many soldiers under your command, so they can naturally suppress these pilgrims. My brothers are afraid that our brothers on the stage will suffer a loss, so we stepped forward to rescue them."

Magistrate He nodded: "I want to go back to the government and sit in the Yamen. Today I will interrogate clearly and recover the lost property. Mr. Zhao, please go back to camp and wait for news."

The two of them said goodbye, and Hua Rong stepped forward and said, "Master, are we going back to the camp?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Wait for half a day. Regardless of whether there is a letter or not, I will say goodbye to the governor tomorrow and go to the Mengxiong River in the south of Zhangqiu County to watch the pig dragon fishing. Stay for a day or two and then return to Liangshan County."

After that, Zhao Zhen greeted everyone, and they all left the temple and went down the mountain.
