夜色昏沉,更夫的梆子声在寂寥的夜空中渐渐远去,本已一片静谧的大院里却忽然骚动起来。Quarter moonlikehook, the bestopportunity of althoughnon-killing and torching, buttothisclassskillwise„thief”was enough.
弦月如钩,虽非杀人放火的最佳时机,但是对这班身手高明的“大盗”们来说已经足够了。tallYing the azureignorant of turbanontowardface, the palmcutsagilyforward, scoldsto saylightly: „!”
高莹把青巾往脸上一蒙,手掌利落地向前一斩,轻叱道:“出发!”

亮出身份叫房陵县放人的主意很快就被她们否决了,可是除此之外,她们也没有更好的法子,商量来商量去,最后大家一致决定:劫狱!Althoughsuchdoesinshouldtrigger a piece of shake, butcould not attend toat this timetoo, theyhave been readyahead of time, beforeclosingcity gate, alreadymadeoneto carrytheirhorsesto go out of town, sixli (0.5 km)outside the citylocatesin a jungleto hide, onlywaited forthemtribulation the prisonthenimmediatelyto leave.

虽然这么做还是会在该地引起一片震荡,可这时也顾不得太多了,他们提前做好了准备,在关闭城门之前,已然叫人携了他们的马匹出城,在城外六里处一处密林里隐藏起来,只等他们劫了狱便马上离开。要出城的话,房陵城低矮的城墙对他们来说当然不是问题。tallYingqing the turbanwears a mask, handholds the sharp knife blade, leads a class of femaletiger to front, moreoverthesehundredrideunderHuang XuChangheallowLiangdirectoris responsible forbringing up the rear, theyjustrushed tofront courtyard of thatworn-outmansion, the front surfaceare then blocked the waybyoneline , one of them askedill-humoredly: „Youdress upso the appearance, whom is this plantribulationsto go?”
高莹青巾蒙面,手执利刃,率领一班雌虎冲在前面,另外那些百骑在黄旭昶和许良的指挥下负责断后,他们刚刚冲到那幢破旧大宅的前院儿,迎面便被一行人挡住了去路,其中一人没好气地问道:“你们打扮成这般模样,这是打算劫谁去?”Hearsthatfamiliarsound, tallYingbianis startled, treadsseveralcarefullyto looktaking advantage of the weakmoonlightagainforwardthattallYinglost one's voiceto call: „YangXiaowei!

听到那熟悉的声音,高莹便是一怔,借着微弱的月光再向前踏出几步仔细一看,高莹不由失声叫了起来:“杨校尉!你已经被放出来了?”

The roomLingxianjail, the dooropens, servantis then towing the rice bucket, walksworn out.
房陵县监牢,牢门打开,一个老苍头儿便拖着饭桶,有气无力地走进来。Heknocks the rice bucket, justwantsto callone„serving a meal”. Suddenlysees the prisonsituation, somewhatis in a daze.
他敲敲饭桶,刚想吆喝一声“开饭”。忽然看见牢中情形,不禁有些发愣。Theirhereprison cellis not big, altogetheronsuchseveralprisonrooms, was away frominside the stockadesituationto see, rightinthisprison cellalsochock fullwas closing clearlysixpeopleyesterday evening. Hownowair-to-airsuch aswild?
他们这儿的牢房并不大,一共就那么几间牢室,隔着栅栏里边的情形看得清清楚楚,昨儿晚上右边这间牢房里还满满当当地关着六个人。怎么现在空空如野?
That in innermostthatprison cellseessomepeopleto come to the fellow sufferers, immediatelyshouts: „Prisonboss. Has an accident. Has an accident!”
最里边那间牢房里的那对难兄难弟一见有人进来,立即大喊起来:“牢头儿。出事啦。出事啦!”Servanthurriesto put down the rice bucket, overtakesto ask: „Had an accident? Nearbyprison cellthesepeople?”
老苍头儿赶紧放下饭桶,赶过去问道:“出了什么事?旁边牢房那些人呢?”Twodishevelled hair and dirty facecriminalsgesticulated, the salivahorizontaladministrative enclaveto telltohim, thatwalkingbarely aliveoldprison guardlistenedto have a big shock, immediatelyflewalsoto leap up, hurried to prisonbossBingBao.
两个蓬头垢面的犯人指手划脚、唾沫横飞地向他讲述了一遍,那走起路来半死不活的老狱卒听了不禁大惊失色,马上飞也似地蹿了出去,赶去向牢头儿禀报。Less thanhalfdouble-hour, county magistrate, countyassist, official in charge of documents and archival materials, countyWei, leaderandprisonboss....... Came an important goodsperson, county magistratewhatHaijiaoto dislike the rayto be dimsuddenly, but alsomadeseveralprison guardshit the flarespecially, inthatpass/testin the prison cells of sixcriminalsto prospectfor quite a whilecarefully.
不到半个时辰,县令、县丞、主簿、县尉、班头、牢头儿……。忽啦啦来了一大帮人,县令何海皎嫌牢中光线昏暗,还特意让几个狱卒打起火把,在那间本来关着六个人犯的牢房里仔细勘察了半天。In the groundhastwobigfootprints. Isfivechi (0.33 m), deeplythreecuns (2.5 cm), lying down of somediminutivepeoplego, can, when the bedrested.
地面上有两个大脚印。长达五尺,深有三寸,矮小些人的躺进去,可以当床睡了。Heel, soleandtip of the toe...... Was clear, as ifonce the giantherebased.
脚跟、脚掌、脚尖……清晰可辨,仿佛曾有一个巨人在这里立足。Whatcounty magistratesquatson the ground, carefullylooked atfor quite a while, sets outtothattwosuspecthumanity: „Yousaidcarefullythatlast nightsituationactuallyhow?”
何县令蹲在地上,仔仔细细看了半天,起身向那两个犯人道:“你们仔细说说,昨夜情形究竟如何?”Twocriminalsbotharepeddlerfamily backgrounds, practicedZhangLianpi, twolips, just nowhas rehearsedbeforethatprison guard, is not flustered.
两个犯人都是行商出身,本就练得一张脸皮、两片嘴唇,方才在那狱卒面前又已排练了一回,是以毫不慌张。Thattalkativepeddlerstart to talk, saidtowhatcounty magistrate: „ Last nightthree, both of usrestedjustripe, suddenlythink that golden lightten thousand, straight thrustboth eyes, cannot help butthenwoke. Opens eyeslookedthatsees a JinjiaDeity, the heightthreezhang (3.33 m), the waistextravagantlytenencircles, graspsgold/metalChu, the whole bodyshines.
还是那个健谈的行商开口,对何县令道:“昨夜三更,我们两人睡得正熟,忽觉金光万道,直刺双目,不由自主便醒了过来。睁眼一看,就见一个金甲神人,身高三丈,腰阔十围,手持金杵,浑身放光。Right, is the JinjiaDeity! Right, thatJinjiaDeitystandsinthatposition, the sixcriminals in thisprison celllie prostrateunder the Deityfoot, is cleveras ifcat. The my brothertwopeoplemostareto respect and believe inmyBuddha, seesthatDeityandWeiTuois without change, hurriesto kneel down, reads aloudsingsAmitabha! ”
对,是金甲神人!对,那个金甲神人就站在那个位置,这间牢房里的六个犯人都俯伏在神人足下,乖巧得仿佛一只猫儿。我兄弟二人最是崇信我佛,一见那神人与韦陀一般无二,赶紧跪下,诵唱阿弥陀佛!”Anothermouthslowinsertsa few wordswith great difficulty, the connectionsaid: „ThatDeitydoes not seestart to talk, thenhas the mighty bellsoundto resoundinourhearts, thatDeity said that Iand others, althoughcommitted a crime, butreverenttoBuddha, has a mindto be repentant, myBuddhawatches, sends the Deityto change magicallyspecially!”
另一个嘴慢的好不容易才插上一句话,接口道:“那神人也不见开口,便有洪钟般的声音在我们心中响起,那神人说,我等虽然犯了罪,但是虔诚向佛,有心悔悟,我佛看在眼里,特意派来神人点化!”„?”
“哦?”whatHaijiaoblinked, resembles the letternon-letter. Actuallyamong the worldto haverealauspicious omen, hedoes not know, butasoffering the beneficiary of auspicious omen, thatauspicious omen that heveryclearinitiallymadeis false.
何海皎眨了眨眼,似信非信。天下间究竟有没有真的祥瑞,他不知道,不过作为献祥瑞的一个受益者,他很清楚自己当初弄的那个祥瑞是假的。Heyear to yeardefendsinWenquantangPrison, discovered that the fruitreceives the sunlightilluminationandotherthingsblock from the raycanform the completelydifferentcolorsfor a long timepartially.
他常年守在温泉汤监,无意间发现果实受到阳光照射和被其他东西长期遮住光线的部分会形成完全不同的颜色。At that timeexactlywas the worldeach regionstruggleoffered the auspicious omenmost frequenttime, hethenhad the thoughts, cut„long live” the matrices of twocharactersto pastewith the blackpaperon the gold/metalpeach, whenthatgold/metalpeachwere mature, uncovered the papermold, reallyappearedtwocharacters.
那时恰是天下各地争献祥瑞最为频繁的时候,他便动了心思,用黑纸剪了“万岁”两字的字模贴在金桃上,待那金桃成熟,揭去纸模,果然现出两个字来。Depending onthismethod, hecanbe assigned away from the capital a county magistrate, todaylistened tothesetwocriminalsto say the tongueCanlotus flower, inhisheartgreatlydoes not certainly believetothismiracle.
就凭这个手段,他才得以外放一任县令,今日听这两个犯人说得舌灿莲花,他心中对这种神迹当然不大相信。whatHaijiaopursuesasks: „Thatsixpeople?”
何海皎追问道:“那六个人呢?”
The criminalsdepend onYang Fanto teachhiswords: „Thatsixcriminalswitness the miraclewith own eyes, was persuadedby the Buddha, is willingto practicealong withWeiTuodagod, thereforecarried offby the Deity.”
犯人依着杨帆教他的话道:“那六个犯人亲眼见证神迹,受到佛祖感化,愿意随韦陀大神修行,所以被神人带走了。”whatHaijiao the corners of the mouthtwitchedtwo, asked: „Why do youlet uplike this good opportunity?”
何海皎嘴角抽搐了两下,又问:“那你们为何放过这样的好机会?”
The criminalssighed: „Both of ushad the fatherto have mother, to have the wifeto have the child, the fatality of this worldnot, the Deitysaidthatwewill be releasedsoon, ifwesincerelytoBuddha, so long aswent homecompletelytoparents'filial piety, towife'sresponsibility, canresult in the fruits of virtuein the futureone day.”
犯人叹了口气道:“我们二人有父有母、有妻有子,尘缘未了,神人说,我们不久就会被释放,若是我们诚心向佛,只要回家尽了对父母的孝道,对妻子的责任,将来总有一天会得正果的。”whatHaijiao a visioncold, densesay/way: „Takes seriously? Ifyoulie, butwants the exterminationnine generations!”
何海皎目光一冷,森然道:“当真?你们若是说谎,可是要诛灭九族的!”Theytook an oathimmediatelyguarantee, whatHaijiaopinched the chinto thinkthatturned aroundto return tobythatgiantfootprint the squatting downbody, carefullyobservedonce again, gained groundto have a look above the prison cellroof louvre window, wipedtreacherouslypassed over gently and swiftlyswiftlyhispupilbottom.
两人立即赌咒发誓地保证一番,何海皎捏着下巴又想了想,转身回到那巨人脚印旁蹲下身子,再度仔细观察了一番,又抬头看看囚室上方的天窗,一抹诡谲倏然掠过他的眸底。Official in charge of documents and archival materialsShuChenseeshimto stand up, is busy atgatheringhisfront, saidin a low voice: „Ming Residence, the lower officialthinksthismatter......”
主簿舒尘见他站起,忙凑到他的面前,低声道:“明府,下官觉得这件事情……”whatHaijiaolifts the hand, has stoppedhisvoice, saidwith a melodiousintonation: „Without a doubt, thisis an auspicious omen! ThisisbecausemySaintemperorimplements the policy of benevolence, thereforeon the talentlowers the auspicious omen! Thisauspicious omenappearsinmyroomLingxian , because myroomLingxiangovernmentplaceis incorruptible, this mattermustreport the Saintemperor!”
何海皎一抬手,制止了他的声音,用一副抑扬顿挫的语调道:“毫无疑问,这是一个祥瑞!这是因为我圣天子施行仁政,所以上天才降下祥瑞!这个祥瑞出现在我房陵县,是因为我房陵县治理地方清正廉明,此事需上报圣天子!”„Is is!” One side ShuZhubufalls back ontactfully.
“是是是!”舒主簿知趣地退到一边。whatHaijiaotransfersto looktotwocriminals, said: „Saintemperorhad gotten downtogether the edict, ifeach regionhasin the auspicious omenreport, each regiongovernment authoritiescannotanyreasonconcealorstop, todiscovering the person of auspicious omenmustdeliver toCapital Cityimmediately, the auspicious omentrulyor not, is screenedbyImperial Court, discovered the magistrate who auspicious omenmustdispatch an officialto escort, todiscovering the person of auspicious omenmoves in the dwellingalong the way, pressesfiveofficialtreatments.”
何海皎转首看向两个犯人,又道:“圣天子曾经下过一道谕旨,各地若有祥瑞报上,各地官府不得以任何理由隐瞒或阻拦,对发现祥瑞的人要立即送到京城,祥瑞确实与否,由朝廷进行甄别,发现祥瑞的地方官员要派员护送,对发现祥瑞的人沿途入住馆舍,均按五品官待遇。”whatHaijiaodid not sayfalse, Wu Zetianindeedhas gotten downthis kind ofimperial decree, althoughafterwardshehad ascended the throne, had a little been sick the frequentreportauspicious omen, butthisdecreehas not actually cancelled.
何海皎所言不假,武则天的确下过这样一道圣旨,虽然后来她已经登基,对频繁的报祥瑞已经有点厌烦,不过这道旨意却没有取消。whatHaijiaospoke ofhere, slightly, aggravated the languagegas channel: „ Hehe, your two, so long assaidis true, youhad the luck......
何海皎说到这里,微微一顿,又加重了语气道:“呵呵,你们两个只要所言属实,那你们就有福了……Twopeddler is also onetakes an oathhastily, said with certainty that guaranteedtheysaidto be true. whatHaijiaonodssatisfied, turns headto tell: „Has sealed the prison, waits forinCapitalto dispatch an officialto prospect. The people of thesetwodiscoveryauspicious omensfeed in the dwellingquiteto entertainfirst, thisofficerwill arrange the personto sendthemtoCapital Cityas soon as possible!”
两个行商连忙又是一番赌咒发誓,言之凿凿地保证他们所言句句属实。何海皎满意地点点头,扭头吩咐道:“把大牢封了,等候京里派员勘察。这两个发现祥瑞的人先送进馆舍好生招待,本官会尽快安排人送他们去京城!”
The county magistrateSirs said that officialnaturallynobodydarednot to be tactfulsaysanything, immediately the yes sirnamewas.
县令大人都这么说了,众官员自然没人敢不识趣地说些什么,当下唯唯称是。whatHaijiaoleaves the prison cell, after a chapter of countyalley the dwelling, sends forcallinghiswife's younger brotherleaderforestimmediatelytwo, saidtohisinjunctionin a low voice: „Looks forseveralmouthstrictartisans, buildsseveralbricksabovethatprison cellair vent, made smaller, otherwisewaits forinCapitalto come the person, discovered that our prisonorganization systemsdid not gather the custom, unavoidablywantedto reprove!”
何海皎离开牢房,一回县衙后宅,马上派人唤来他的小舅子班头林二,对他低声嘱咐道:“找几个嘴巴严的匠人,把那牢房上方的通气孔儿砌上几层砖,弄小一些,要不然等京里来了人,发现咱们这大牢建制不合规矩,不免要有所训斥!”Districtmindempathize, complies withonehastily, hurried to arrangein a hurry.
林班头心灵神会,连忙答应一声,匆匆赶去安排了。*****************************

竹山县距房陵县140余里,因黄竹岭而成名,黄竹岭在黄竹县北,山上竹色皆黄,因而得名。庐陵王李显就住在黄竹岭上,竹岭周围被列为禁地,寻常百姓和猎户樵夫都不许涉足此山,绕山一周都是军户的住处。Becausesafeguards the Lulingkingsto be time consuming, the wife and children of thesearmed forceshouseholdswere met, thesearmed forceshouseholdshave a steady job at wages fixed by the governmentto settle downinthis, until now15-16years, areair planthere.
因为看管庐陵王旷日持久,这些军户的家小都被接了来,这些军户吃着皇粮定居于此,迄今已有十五六个年头,算是在这里落地生根了。

黄竹岭下十余里,有一个黄竹镇,杨帆决定先在黄竹镇落脚,对黄竹岭的情况进一步了解后,先与困在山上的庐陵王取得联系,之后再决定行动策略。But, thistimemovement of populationis not big, nowdoes not draw support fromthatcircus troupeis the shield, even if they more than tensturdymensuddenlyappearsin the town, is sufficiently noticeable, let alonealsosomeyoungfemales, therefore the Yang Fandecisionmakesthemmoveseparately, moves inaround the yellowZhu countyvillagerespectively.
可是,这个时代人口流动不大,如今不借助那个马戏团为掩护,就算是他们十多个粗壮的汉子突然出现在镇上,也足以引人注目,更何况还有许多年轻的女子,因此杨帆决定让他们分头行动,各自入住黄竹镇周围的村子。Thistimeinformationis impeded, thesepeoplewill play the role of the husbands and wivesor the brother and sisterseparatelymove ineachvillageseparately, the newscannotcompileto the garrisonmilitary officerthere on towninormountainpromptlywill not be noticeable, in town in justor the garrison commanderdiscoveryquestionable point on mountain, onlyfeared that theyalreadytook the Lulingkingsto leave.
这个时代信息不畅,这些人分别扮成夫妻或兄妹分别入住各个乡村,消息不能及时汇总到镇子里或者山上的驻军将领那里就不会引人注目,等到镇上的里正或者山上的守将发现疑点时,只怕他们已然接了庐陵王离开了。Therefore, Yang FanwhentoyellowZhu county, thendecided the contactway and contactplacewiththemquickly, then makesthemdividetoward the differentbranch roadsgets down, directly soarsaround the yellowZhu countyvillage, butheandGu ZhutingdirectlyenteredyellowZhu county under whangeerange!
因此,杨帆在快到黄竹镇的时候,便与他们约定了联络方式和联络地点,然后便让他们分朝不同的岔路下去,直奔黄竹镇周围的乡村,而他和古竹婷则直接进了黄竹岭下的黄竹镇!
