In the Legend of water margin, the most impressive is one hundred and eight good men. They gathered together to resist the persecution of corrupt officials and to overthrow the dark rule of the court. Among these good men, there is such a person who is not only tough in appearance but also very tough in appearance.
This man was none other than the red-haired ghost Liu Tang, and he and Li Kui could be called the two great mangs in Liangshan, but Liu Tang was slightly smarter than Li Kui. But he is also a number one whose head is squeezed by the door, mixed into the forefront of Tiangang, which is really ridiculous in birth, but sad after death.
Liu Tang is a native of Donglu Prefecture, and his family grew up poor, coupled with the early death of his parents. Liu Tang began to drift in society since he was a child, but Liu Tang had a good physique and developed a very bold personality.
As an adult, Liu Tang ran around the local area. Liu Tang's favorite thing is to know all kinds of heroes and good men, and let others teach him some fist and foot kung fu, under this experience, Liu Tang began to do private business a few years later.
As the name suggests, Liu Tang was an unlicensed peddler, because at that time, ordinary people needed to pay taxes to the imperial court to do business. During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Cai Jing monopolized power and increased taxes, so many people began to start private business, just because they did not want to pay taxes.
Liu Tang's life during the period of private business is also OK, through the name of doing business, Liu Tang made a lot of friends. Gradually, he became famous in the jianghu, because there was a cinnabar on his sideburns, and he was nicknamed a red-haired ghost.
So the red-haired ghost Liu Tang did not mean that his hair was red, but because of cinnabar, which was different from the TV series. Then one year, Liu Tang got the news that Cai Jing was going to celebrate his birthday, and Cai Jing's son-in-law Liang Zhongshu was going to celebrate his birthday and send him a birthday gift.
The birthday gift that Liang Zhongshu wants to give is not simple, this gift is a gold and silver treasure worth 100,000 yuan. What is the concept of 100,000 guan, equivalent to tens of millions of now, so this news spreads particularly fast.
Liu Tang knew that Cai Jing was a corrupt official, the upper liang was not right and the lower liang was crooked, and this Liang Zhongshu was not a good thing. Moreover, with a hundred thousand gold and silver treasures, there may be so much in a local official's Feng Lu, so Liu Tang had an idea, that is, to intercept the birth anniversary.
However, if Liang Zhongshu wanted to send 100,000 pieces of gold and silver jewelry, he could not send dozens of soldiers to escort him, and it was naturally impossible for him to take down the birthday class by himself. So he needed to find a few people, Liu Tang learned from his friends that Chao Gai was fighting for people, and there were people in the family, so he set out to look for Chao Gai.
However, Liu Tang did not know where Chao Gai was staying, and that time was not peaceful, and he often made trouble with thieves. In order to catch the thieves, the government patrolled every night. Liu Tang has a common habit of jianghu people, that is, he likes to drink.
When he arrived at Chao Gai's house, Liu Tang found an ancestral hall nearby. It was late in the heat, and he wanted to take a break and wait until the next morning to look for Chao Gai. So Liu Tang got some wine and meat, drank too much, and fell asleep at the offering table in the ancestral hall.
It just so happened that Lei Heng, the head catcher, led people on patrol here, Liu Tang's purring sounded like a loud sound, and after Lei Heng heard it, he brought people in to interrogate. Entering the ancestral hall, I saw a big black man lying on the table, naked on his upper body, full of wine and sleeping.
Liu Tang's dress is simply like a thief who does not steal, and Lei Heng directly let people tie him up. Liu Tang woke up, but his hands and feet were already bound, explaining that he had come here to find Chao Gai. Of course, Lei Heng knew Chao Gai's name, and he had a plan to tie Up Liu Tang and go to Chao Gai's house.
When Lei Heng arrived at Chao Gai's house, he said that he and his brothers were patrolling the neighborhood and had caught a man dressed in black who said he had come looking for him. Chao Gai rushed out to see, and Liu Tang told Chao Gai that he had a big opportunity to share with Chao Gai.
Chao Gai turned around and told Lei Heng that this was his nephew, and quickly asked someone to prepare a table of wine and dishes for Lei Heng and his men to eat and drink. Before leaving, Chao Gai also gave Lei Heng ten pieces of silver, and Lei Heng gave up and let Liu Tang go.
When Lei Heng saw Liu Tang's appearance, he knew that Liu Tang was not a good person, and Chao Gai mostly turned to him. It is better to be a smooth water person, and you can also catch some extra money. After all, Chao Gai is still the local chief, with a certain prestige and connections.
This Liu Tang can be said to be a little brainy, he knows his appearance, and he sleeps in the ancestral hall at night. And the door was wide open, the purring was so loud that in modern parlance, this Liu Tang's brain must have been squeezed by the door.
And what Liu Tang did next was even more bizarre, that is, after he told Chao Gai about his birthday, Chao Gai didn't say anything more, just found a guest room for himself to live in first, and as a result, Liu Tang was angry.
Liu Tang was angry because Chao Gai had two attitudes towards him and Lei Heng, and Lei Heng came with meat to eat and drink, and when he left, he also took ten pieces of silver. When he came, he sent himself to sleep first, without even letting himself drink.
It can be said that Liu Tang's brain circuit ordinary people can't understand, Chao Gai invited people to eat and gave people silver to save him, but he thought that this was Chao Gai treating others with courtesy, but he came to neglect himself. After Liu Tang was taken to sleep by his subordinates, he did not sleep but went to Lei Heng to ask for money.
After Liu Tang caught up with Lei Heng, he and Lei Heng could not say a piece, and the two sides fought. Lei Heng found that he could not help Liu Tang, at this time Wu Yong appeared, separating the two sides, and then the matter was not resolved after mediation.
Although Liu Tang did not do anything wrong when he robbed the Birthday Gang, when he befriended Chao Gai, people could not help but question how Liu Tang's brain thought about things. After the birth anniversary was robbed, several people hid in Chao Gai's home.
While arresting several people, Song Jiang helped several people escape, so Chao Gai asked Liu Tang to bring some money to thank Song Jiang. Song Jiang was working in the county at that time, and as a result, Liu Tang was directly waiting at the county gate.
Oh my goodness! You must know that Liu Tang was a wanted criminal at that time, and it was too late for Tibet to stand at the door of the county gate in broad daylight. But he did not come to surrender himself, but to pay bribes.
After Song Jiang was the first to go out of the gate, he saw Liu Tang at a glance, and then quickly pulled him aside, and Liu Tang also shouted loudly, saying that Chao Gai had let him come and send money to Song Jiang. We can imagine if Song Jiang came out with others.
Liu Tang directly said that he had come to send money to Song Jiang, and song Jiang could not wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River. This money was liu tang they robbed the dirty silver of the birthday gang, Song Jiang received the money, is not equivalent to handing over the participation in this matter.
Fortunately, Song Jiang's fate was good and he did not let others discover Liu Tang. Song Jiang invited Liu Tang to a meal, and there was no cash, so he sent Liu Tang away. But Liu Tang also has advantages, that is, he is very righteous and loyal to Chao Gai.
In the end, Liu Tang's fate was not good, just like his personality, Liu Tang was finally crushed to death by the door. People are crushed to death by the door, and the head must be squeezed by the door.
