Xu Ping saw that the few people drank together within a while and was still happy. He couldn't help but ask his father: "Is Sang Yi, a Jinshi in the village, very famous?"

Xu Zhengdao: "We often have boaters coming in our store, but I heard them say this name. In several prefectures and counties in the west of Beijing, this man has caught thieves several times, and is still a little famous. He was originally from Yongqiu (now Qi County) in Kaifeng Prefecture. He was somehow wandering to Ruzhou because of the flood. He cultivated dozens of acres of land in Longxing (now Baofeng) in Ruzhou. He was the elder there and caught the surrounding thieves. But how loud this name was, it was just that their catching swords and swords were praising each other."

After hearing this, Xu Ping couldn't help but read Sang Yi for a while. Thinking of the "Water Margin" I read in his previous life, the heroes in them often said that they "listen to my brother's good names more often." Unexpectedly, there were such characters in reality. In fact, it was a coincidence that there were not many people like Sang Yi at that time. Later, Ouyang Xiu also wrote a special article "The "Biography of Sang Yi" to record his life and deeds.

Seeing that they were drinking lively, Xu Ping couldn't help but think of the thieves around his farm.

Since that day when he heard Li Wei talked about it, Xu Ping also asked carefully. After hearing about the deeds of these people, he did not dare to neglect them. He organized all the tourists in the village, not only organized them according to militias, but also started training, and was not careful to be wronged if they accidentally told them.

This is Kaifeng Prefecture. Things will be a big deal when they get into trouble, but the local area is full of mentality that it is better to have less than more things. If something happens, you can hide it if you can. If you can, you should be careful.

Unfortunately, the book "Military Training Manual" that Xu Ping was familiar with only has the content of the thorn, and he could only make the shopkeeper practice a few spears based on the changes. He knew nothing about other swords and bows.

Now there is a wise man here, but I don’t know what his nature is and whether he can help him.

After thinking for a long time, I talked about my thoughts to my father and listened to his opinion.

Xu Zheng said: "I want me to tell you that in Kaifeng Prefecture, the emperor's feet, there is no need to care about those thieves. However, those people are all desperate people, and Dalang's worry makes sense. As for this Sang Yi, it is said that he is calm and kind-hearted, and he likes to help others the most. That year, he fled with food on a boat. Seeing that the fleeing people were so hungry, he distributed all the rice to everyone and spread his benefits everywhere. Such people are the most reliable. Dalang went up to ask if he was willing, just keep a little more careful in his heart."

With the words of his father, Xu Ping made up his mind. He took a bottle of two liters of wine from the cabinet, cut another plate of mutton, and brought it to Sang Yi's table, saying, "I'm here Xu Ping, the little master here. I often hear people talk about Sang Zhuangshi's name. If you don't respect some wine and meat, don't refuse."

Zhao Zi raised his head and looked at Xu Ping with a squint: "I have only heard of him, have I never heard of me?"

Xu Ping smiled and said, "This general looks familiar, but he can't call his name."

A soldier next to him said, "This is the little Yanei from Zhao Dujian on Huanqing Road. My father has not fought for the country and has recently come to the army. Yanei loves the wine here and comes to eat it again and again. Do you still don't know the name?"

How could Xu Ping know who a Dujian, who was far away in the northwest, was even more unaware of what was special about him, the little yamen. He just gave a few compliments.

Zhao Zi said: "You, the master, are not sincere in your words, clearly I don't know who I am!"

He said to Sang Yi: "After finishing the wine, I still have to compete with my brother so that these men and women don't be arrogant when they see me in the future!"

Sang Yi didn't answer him and said to Xu Ping: "You are polite. If you don't dislike me, just sit down and drink two drinks together?"

Xu Ping was just what he said. He pulled the bench and sat down, poured wine for everyone, picked up the bowl and said, "I wish you a glass for the first time when I met!"

After drinking it twice, Zhao Zi said again: "You only have mutton here, and it's not so good to eat. Is there any beef sold? Take two plates!"

Xu Ping said: "Tixia was joking. We are serious shop owners, so how could there be anything that violated the ban?"

At this time, the Song Dynasty lost the horse herding land, not only did horses shortage, but other large livestock also shortages, and horses, cattle, mules, etc. are prohibited from private slaughtering by the people. Of course, there are bans, and some people violate the ban, and some people will sell them secretly.

Zhao Zi didn't believe Xu Ping's words and said, "Don't pretend to me. You have a lot of cattle and sheep raised in your farm. I heard that, so I don't believe you won't commit suicide and eat it!"

Xu Ping shook his head and stopped talking to him.

Because of planting grass, the farm has bought a lot of calves and lambs recently. But it has only been a few days, and it is time to kill and eat meat.

After drinking for a while, it gradually became ripe, and Zhao Zi stopped picking Xu Ping's thorn in his words.

He has the ability, but he is a bit arrogant, and he is young and energetic, so he has to make a name for everything. Although he hit it off at first sight, he was still a little dissatisfied and wanted to compete.

After getting familiar with each other, Xu Ping slowly talked about the main business: "Sang Xiucai, I heard that you have good means to catch thieves. Recently, there are thieves in Zhongmu County. Have you heard of it?"

Zhao Zi said: "You guy is talking nonsense. There are troops stationed in Wansheng Town. Do you think it's just for a look? What kind of thief dares to pluck the hair from the tiger's mouth after eating the courage of the bear heart and the leopard!"

Xu Ping said: "Your military camp is far away from the Bian River, so far north. The south of the Jinshui River is vast and sparsely populated, and there are horses from Qijiyuan here. It is a good place to hide. What's so strange about thieves!"

Sang Yi nodded: "I have heard of this, but it may not be without cause!"

Zhao Zi was shocked: "Are there any? These guys are getting more and more courageous. The emperor dares to make trouble! Master, do you have any news? Sa’s family went to get them for some rewards!"

Xu Ping said: "I just heard it, but there is no definite news. If Tieshi is interested, I can help you find out. I will not pay the reward for Tieshi himself."

Zhao Zi looked at Xu Ping and said with a smile: "You brought the wine and meat to you, just to let us get rid of this confidant trouble for you? Your agents are all traitors and ghosts, and they can't afford to get up early. How can you give us food and drink for free?"

Xu Ping was a little embarrassed. Of course he was not a petty person, but this time he came here to eliminate hidden dangers with the power of Sang Yi.

However, Xu Ping's plan did not include Zhao Zi, so he said to him: "Tihe said this very deceptively. I am such a big village, and there are dozens of tourists, all of whom are skilled in swords, guns, sticks and sticks. Although I am not talented, I know a little about the battle formation. There are rules for advancing and retreating. How could I be afraid of a group of thieves?"

Zhao Zi laughed: "Who are you? A half-year-old man who has never seen the world before, dares to brag about knowing about the battle formation! My father has been scattered all his life, and who doesn't know his reputation among the northwest? I have been by my father since I was a child and say that I can barely afford to know about the battle formation! Are you worthy?"

Xu Ping looked at him with a smile: "This kind of thing is not a big talk. If you don't agree, why don't you go back to the village to see it? Just these people under you, we are five against five."

Zhao Zi said to Sang Yi: "This kid is really shameless. He dares to tell me to see it! The soldiers in our imperial guards were all selected from the world, and no one was chosen from a hundred! How many bird shop guests in his village dare to challenge me! If I go, how long will I be ridiculed!"

Sang Yi smiled and did not respond.

Xu Ping said: "Tixia, do you just say you dare not! If you win, it is natural for you. If you accidentally get the upper hand, Tixia's face will not look good."

Zhao Zi sneered: "Do you still want to gain the upper hand?"

Xu Ping said: "This is hard to say. Actually, I am sure that I will win you, and it is hard to say it out loud to refute your face. Otherwise, we will bet on a host."

Zhao Zizhen got a little angry and asked coldly: "How to bet?"

Xu Ping said: "The law prohibits gambling, but if we spend all the money on food and drink, it will be fine. We will bet ten tons of money and take out the lost money to hold a banquet in the restaurant."

At this time, the law prohibited gambling, but gambling can be done, especially food and drink, and it is not prohibited. Therefore, there are often people who buy pounces in the market during the Song Dynasty, using a fish or a chicken, which is a disguised gambling.

Zhao Zi said: "This restaurant belongs to your family. As the saying goes, I will suffer a little if I don't flow out of the field."

Xu Ping didn't expect this person to be so conservative, so he laughed: "Or what if I lose, ten guan is just the money for food, and the wine will be opened and you can drink it casually. How about it?"

Zhao Zi nodded: "This is fair. Okay, let's put the wine here here first, go back to your house to compete, and then come back to check out!"

Hearing this, several people stood up together.

Xu Ping said to Sang Yi: "Sang Xiucai, how about you make a notarization?"

Sang Yi stood up and said, "I will go with you, I will go."

He didn't believe in Xu Ping's bragging, but he thought that the village wanted to use him to guard against thieves and use Zhao Zi as an excuse. Under his iron mace and a long sword, he took many lives of the thieves, and he was also determined to meet this group.

Seeing that Xu Zheng had made up his mind, he hurried over and said to everyone: "Everyone, please rest assured, the wine and meat here will be placed here. I'll stop watching you. Wait until you come back and use it."

He pulled Xu Ping aside and whispered: "Dalang's plan also makes it possible that as long as they arrive at the farm, will Sang Xiucai really eat it? Although the ten-tank of money is a lot, as long as we abandon the thieves around the farm, we will live a peaceful life, which is still worth it."

Xu Ping nodded, it was hard to say anything to his father.

Of course, his original intention was to keep Sang Yi, but he didn't want to ask for help. If Zhao Zi and his soldiers defeated him, it would be much easier to talk about.

As for the bet against Zhao Zi, Xu Ping was not sure, but he was not a silence. Although the bayonet training of militia was simple, it was an army that was king on land, and the essence of stabbing the enemy for decades. It was smart, flexible, tenacious, brave and tenacious, which was the fighting style required by the sting training. In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, which army dared to have this kind of spirit to use these twelve words to demand their militia? Of course, Xu Ping's patrol customers could not do it, but they could fight with one or two levels. It would be natural that they would not be able to go to the battlefield, but they could fight in a group battle.
