Chapter 12: Dare to Have Foul Thoughts About My Wife
strange sound. After opening her eyes, she vaguely saw a tall figure in the room and was startled!"Who is it!"Gao Jinhua hastily lit the lamp, and the dim light illuminated Wu Chao's body.After seeing...Ximen Hu's eyes glared with fury, his teeth clenched tightly: "Very well! That settles it!"
As the saying goes, "Walls have ears." Outside the wall of Wang Po's teahouse, an ear was indeed plastered.
Bai Sheng heard every word these two people said!
Bai Sheng hurriedly turned and ran into Wu Chao's yard.
At this moment, Wu Chao was pondering whether or not he should make glass. He knew very well that once this thing was made, it would surely sweep across the entire Song Dynasty, but it would also bring disaster!
He doesn't have a large following now, and he has no backers. If others knew his method of getting rich, not only would he be torn to pieces, but even his beautiful wife might be taken away!
"Big brother, big brother!"
Bai Sheng rushed in, looking around furtively. Seeing that no one was nearby, he quickly whispered the news he had just heard to Wu Chao.
Wu Chao frowned. He had known all along that Ximen He and Wang Po were not up to any good, but he hadn't expected Wang Po to be connected to the short-legged tiger Wang Ying!
This Wang Ying is the direct descendant of Song Jiang, and even more so, Song Jiang's number one fan.
However, this man was no hero. He was originally a coachman who later, driven by greed, murdered the male passengers and raped the female passengers. He then took the passengers' money and fled to Qifeng Mountain to become a bandit.
Over the years, there have been plenty of instances of rape and plunder!
In *Water Margin*, Song Jiang, to appease the lustful Wang Ying, even gave him Hu Sanniang, a stunningly beautiful woman who was also renowned for her bravery.
Whenever he saw this scene in TV dramas, Wu Chao would be so angry his teeth would itch!
This is absolutely a flower stuck in a pile of rotting, stinking manure crawling with maggots.
Before, for Wu Chao, King Tiger the Short was just a character in a TV drama. But now he was about to appear before him.
Wu Chao's lips curled into a sneer: "Good, very good! I've been wanting to chop off this short-legged bastard's three legs for ages. Since he's come willingly, then I welcome him with open arms!"
Suddenly, Wu Chao's eyes lit up and he had a plan!
Immediately tell Bai Sheng: "We don't know these people from Wang Ying, the dwarf king, but West Gate Crane's men will definitely show them respect. From now on, keep an eye on the servants around West Gate Crane. As soon as he makes a move, inform me immediately."
Besides, have your men find an unoccupied house and prepare several barrels of oil and a dozen barrels of sand. I'll have use for them tonight!
Bai Sheng's face flushed with excitement as he clenched his fists tightly. "Alright!"
This is his true big brother, calm under pressure and both brave and cunning!
It is night.
In the alleyway two streets behind Wu Chao's house, a dozen or so burly men surrounded each other. Each man clutched a weapon in his hand, their faces twisted into menacing grimaces.
The leader, the short-limbed Tiger King Ying, was also short and stout. Although he wasn't old, he was a cruel and ruthless character who killed without mercy.
Wang Ying impatiently said to her subordinates, “Where are those people from Ximen He Yanggu County is so big, this is our first time here, and without a guide, how can we possibly find Wu Dalang’s house”
As they were speaking, a tall man of slightly slender build strode over quickly.
It wasn't a stranger who came, but Wu Chao in the guise of a house servant!
And that Ximen Hu's servant, half an hour ago, had already been stripped of his clothes by Wu Chao, and the 1000 taels of silver given to him by Ximen Hu was taken away. The man was tied up with hemp rope like a zongzi and thrown into a corner.
Wu Chao walked forward courteously, clasped his fists, and addressed the crowd: "I ask, who among you is Wang Er, the head of Qingfeng Mountain"
Wang Ying raised her head and swaggered up to Wu Chao: "It's me!"
"So you're the famous Wang Er Dangjia." Wu Chao bowed respectfully.
"Wu Dalang lives not far from here, please come with me."
Wu Chao was about to turn and leave when Wang Ying suddenly grabbed his arm. Her eyes burned into him: "Did you guys agree to 1000 taels beforehand"
Wu Chao immediately took out a small cloth bag from his arms. Inside were ten heavy silver ingots, totaling 1,000 taels. One tael of silver is equal to one string of cash.
As soon as Wang Ying saw the silver, a greedy look involuntarily flashed in his eyes. He subconsciously reached out to grab it, but Wu Chao immediately took several steps back.
"Wang Erdangjia is a hero and his word is his bond. We, the officials, have said that as long as you kill Wudalang, the man who can be described by three inches of tree bark from a Dinggu tree, these 1000 taels will be yours!"
Wang Ying was already impatient. He rubbed his hands together and said to Wu Chao, “Hey hey, isn't it just killing someone It's as easy as chopping vegetables! You lead the way in front. I'll twist that Wudalang's head off right away!”
Soon, Wu Chao arrived at a house with over ten people, including Wang Ying.
Before entering, Wang Ying suddenly grabbed Wu Chao's hand and asked him, "I heard that Wu Dalang has a beautiful wife who is as beautiful as a fairy. Is that true"
Wu Chao blinked his eyes and nodded. "Yes, it's true."
"Good! Good!" Wang Ying shouted three times, "Kill this Wu Dalang! I'll take his wife back and make her my queen!"
He immediately grabbed his knife and led people, scaling the wall to enter!
They had just entered the courtyard, and someone exclaimed, "Strange, why is there so much dry firewood in this courtyard"
As soon as the words left his mouth, several people suddenly appeared on top of the wall. They were holding buckets that they had been preparing earlier, and they poured them down onto Wang Ying and the others!
More than a dozen people were thoroughly soaked!
"Second Master, oil! It's oil!"
When Wang Ying's people reacted, Wu Chao was already holding a torch and standing at the front door.
"It's you! You are Ximen He's servant, why are you trying to harm me!"
Bai Sheng held a torch behind Wu Chao and laughed loudly, "You blind dogs! The one standing before you is my big brother. Known as the 'Coal in Snow,' Wu Chao, the great Wu!"
Wang Ying jumped in fright: "You are Wuda Lang!"
At this time, Wu Chao's eyes flickered with a sharpness as keen as a blade.
"I, Wu Chao, am always clear-cut in my dealings. To my friends, I am a pillar of support in times of need. But to my enemies, I am the grim reaper from hell!"
"I was going to spare your lives, but since you dared to have ill intentions towards my wife, you can't be let go!"s!More than a dozen people were thoroughly soaked!"Second Master, oil! It's oil!"When Wang Ying's people reacted, Wu Chao was already holding a torch and standing at the front door."It's you! You are...
