Chapter 108 An Interesting Story of Dangshan

But Zhu Wen sent 300 soldiers with chariots and honor guards to Dangshan to pick up Wang and Zhu Yu. These 300 people did not dare to delay along the way, and the distance was not very far at all. It only took five or six days to reach them.

They first arrived at the county government office in Dangshan County and showed the official document written by Zhu Wen. The county magistrate heard that it was the Jiedushi of the Xuanwu Army who came to pick up his mother, and hurriedly ordered the clerks and masters in the government office to come out to greet her.

He personally asked about the location of Wugouli in Dangshan County and asked the county officials to follow him. The county magistrate personally accompanied the soldiers sent by Zhu Wen to greet him.

The county magistrate was very talkative. He kept talking and chattering all the way. The county magistrate was indeed very happy, because this remote and remote area of ​​Dangshan County had not produced any decent figures for hundreds of years.

He himself felt honored to have become a military governor.

When he thought about it, Zhu Wen had to take care of the countryside as a military governor. Besides, Dangshan County was under the rule of Songzhou, and Songzhou was under the jurisdiction of Xuanwu Army. To put it bluntly, Zhu Wen was his superior. Now

If you take care of the old lady well, you will be promoted and make a fortune.

The county magistrate has found out clearly that Zhu Wen's family has been helping Liu Chong's family for many years. Zhu Yu is also a long-term worker in Liu Chong's family. He also secretly regrets why he didn't know the details of Zhu Wen earlier. If he had known earlier, he would have been better.

Make arrangements for the old lady in advance, or send her to Daliang in person with great fanfare. In that case, Master Jiedushi will be happy and his promotion and fortune will be just around the corner.

A group of people waited for hundreds of people to come to Wugouli through the mountains and ridges. As soon as they entered the village, the people in the village panicked and thought they were bandits. When everyone saw that they were people from the Tang Dynasty, they felt relieved.

Come.

At this time, it was noon. Liu Chong and Zhu Yu were coming back from working in the fields. They happened to meet this group of people. Zhu Yu was educated. Although he had no fame, he could be regarded as a scholarly family.

, recognized that the first few were county government officials, and they were also surrounded by a county magistrate wearing a green robe.

Behind them were hundreds of brightly-armored military lords, all of them big and round. Surprisingly, they were driving several luxurious carriages, and there were also a large group of maids and maids beside the carriages. Let Liu Chong and Zhu Yu

Time has eluded me in figuring out where these people came from.

Although they haven't traveled far, they still met the county magistrate twice. They didn't bother to think about the origin of this group of people. It had nothing to do with them anyway. The two of them knelt by the roadside from a distance.

, not daring to raise his head.

The two yamen servants walked a few steps quickly and came to Liu Chong and Zhu Yu. They said loudly: "You two, raise your heads. Let me ask you how to get to Liu Chong's house."

When Liu Chong heard that he was looking for him, he saw that there were so many military lords behind him, and even the county magistrate was here. The county magistrate didn't even sit in the sedan chair. It seemed that he came in a hurry. There must be something urgent.

Liu Chong was frightened, and his whole body was shaking like chaff. He couldn't say anything, and he muttered without daring to make a sound. But Zhu Yu, who was on the side, said, "I wonder what you two officials have to do with Mr. Liu?"

"

The two officers only knew that the county magistrate came to Liu Chong's house with the gang of soldiers to find someone. They did not know the specific situation. One of the officers said: "There is so much nonsense. If you want to talk, just say it quickly. It has wasted the county magistrate's time."

It's not easy to blame people. Besides, this time it's someone from the Jiedushi Yamen, and even our county magistrate can't afford to take the blame for wasting time."

Zhu Yu was also a little puzzled. What was the reason? A few days ago, he also heard from fellow villagers who were doing small business outside that Lao San had followed Huang Chao and became a thief general. Could it be that the government discovered that he and Lao San

Because of the relationship, are you here to fetch someone?

The more he thought about it, the more it made sense, and he felt scared for a while, but after all, he had studied for several years. He immediately calmed down, took a deep breath and said: "Since it is an emergency, I will just take the officials there.

."

When the two officers heard that he knew the way, they hurried back to report to the county magistrate.

Zhu Yu took the opportunity and whispered to Liu Chong: "My boss, please go home quickly. Maybe it happened that the third child was a robber outside, and someone came to the house to arrest his family members. Please go home and tell me, boss."

My mother, my wife and my children, let them find a place to hide quickly and never come out. I will take full responsibility for whatever happens and I will never harm you, my boss. Please..."

When Liu Chong heard that his legs were getting weak even more, he couldn't say anything, so he rolled and crawled back home.

Liu Chong stumbled to the house and walked in. His foot was knocked by the threshold and he fell down. It was July, the weather was hot, and the whole family was enjoying the cool under the big tree in the yard. Liu's mother and

Liu Chong's wife was playing with her children under the tree. Zhu Yu's wife was mending clothes. A four or five-year-old child squatted next to her, but Wang was nowhere to be seen. She seemed to be cooking in the kitchen.

When Liu Chong's wife saw her husband rushing in in a panic, she said angrily: "What's wrong with you now? Is your butt on fire or something like that? Hurry up and get reincarnated!"

Liu's mother was also very puzzled when she saw Liu Chong's look. She looked behind him, but Zhu Yu was not there. She hurriedly asked: "Chong'er, why are you so anxious? Where is Zhu Yu?"

Liu Chong said hurriedly: "Zhu Yu may have been arrested by officials now. When I came here just now, Zhu Yu told me that Zhu San might have been reported as a robber outside, and the Jiedushi Yamen personally sent someone.

The arrests were coming. Zhu Yu said from behind that he would hold them for a while and let me come back first to tell his wife and mother to hide quickly. But if they hide, the government officials will definitely take away the people of our Liu family.

ah!"

He stepped forward in a hurry and grabbed Zhu Yu's wife's sleeve and said: "Ms. Liu, you three ladies can't leave. If you leave, how will our Liu family explain to the government..."

Zhu Yu's wife was also panicked and said at a loss: "This... what should I do? What if something happens to the third uncle outside, and the nine tribes will be implicated! Boss, my son

Youliang is still young, so I hope my boss will be kind enough to hide him first. If he really comes to arrest us, our Zhu family can still leave a trace of their fragrance..."

Ms. Wang, who was cooking in the kitchen, also heard the noise and hurriedly came out to watch. Before she left the kitchen, she heard a large group of people coming in from the door. She was so scared that she hid in the firewood pile in the kitchen.

I didn't dare to come out, I didn't dare to take a breath.

However, Liu's mother somewhat knew what was going on. After all, she was from that world, and of course she had seen the world a little better. She stood up and said, "I wonder what you, military masters, are doing by coming to this humble abode!"

The county magistrate didn't know who Liu's mother was, so he thought she was Zhu Wen's mother, Mrs. Wang. He bowed his head and kowtowed several times before saying: "The humble magistrate of Dangshan County has met Mrs. Wang's Mrs. Zhu. May the old lady be as blessed as the East China Sea."

, Shoubinan Mountain..."

Although Liu's mother was not very scared, when she saw the county magistrate kneeling down for her, she was at a loss and said hurriedly: "I am not Zhu Wang, my husband's surname is Liu."

When the county magistrate heard that he had recognized the wrong person, he looked a little embarrassed and muttered: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? It would have cost me a lot of kowtows in vain."

The county magistrate was about to have a fit and embarrass Liu Chong's family. At the very least, he should blame them for abusing Mrs. Zhu and make them suffer.

But I saw a large group of people sent by Zhu Wen knelt down and said: "I have seen Mrs. Liu, please ask Mrs. Liu to quickly bring out Mrs. Zhu and Mr. Zhu. Our adults are in Daliang."

I miss the old lady and the eldest man day and night. I have been ordered to pick up the old lady and the eldest man to enjoy their happiness. My master said that Mrs. Liu takes good care of my master, and also invites Mrs. Liu to go to Daliang with her. My master

I want to repay you for your great kindness."

Liu's mother now knew that it must be someone sent by Zhu Wen, and said hurriedly: "Everyone, please get up quickly. I am just a commoner's wife. I can't withstand your kneeling down. I will ask Mrs. Zhu to come out right now."

When the county magistrate looked at it, he thought to himself: Fortunately, I didn't have an attack just now. If I offended Mrs. Liu because she was short-sighted, I'm afraid the black gauze hat on her head would be ruined. Not to mention getting promoted and making a fortune, as long as I can save my life.

Not bad, it seems that it is better for me to kowtow more and talk less.

Liu's mother came to the kitchen and saw Wang hiding in the pile of firewood, shivering and afraid to come out. She quickly said: "Old sister, I'm so happy. The third child has become a high official outside. I'm here to pick you up and enjoy your happiness."

Ah, why are you still hiding here? Come out quickly..."

How could Mrs. Wang believe it? She thought to herself: "The third child has been a rogue since he was a child. He is capable of doing anything. I heard a few days ago that he followed Huang Chao as a robber outside. Now he must have been caught by the government. Madam, please don't do it."

You’re tricking me!”

Mother Liu finally persuaded Mrs. Wang to go out after much persuasion. Mrs. Wang trembled and followed Mother Liu out step by step. Her hands were still holding the skirt of Mother Liu's clothes tightly and refused to let go.

As soon as the two of them went out, everyone outside knelt down and yelled: "I'm sorry to see you, Mrs. Zhu, Mrs. Liu!" The loud voice shook the leaves on the big trees in the yard.

, the one with the loudest voice is of course the talkative county magistrate.

Wang finally believed that it was true. Zhu Yu also hurriedly came up to help his mother and said, "Mom, it's true. My third brother has now become a high official. I heard that he has become the military governor of Bianzhou, Song Dynasty."

He is in charge of Bozhou, Bozhou and Yingzhou, and the third brother is really powerful!"

Mrs. Wang was very happy when she heard this. Seeing that everyone was kneeling and unable to get up, she was at a loss for a while.

Mother Liu was more familiar with the world, so she thought it was the first time these people met the old lady and wanted to ask for some reward money. Who knew that it was because Mrs. Zhu didn't say anything that they didn't dare to get up! Mother Liu hurriedly ordered Liu Chong to bring a few coins.

, asked Liu Chong to pay ten copper coins each, and said: "Everyone, please get up. This is our first meeting. We don't have anything to offer. Let's just let the brothers have two bowls of wine."

The county magistrate of Dangshan County knelt on the ground and looked at the ten copper coins in his hand in a daze. He thought to himself: "I want to drink for ten copper coins? Where can I buy it so cheap? It's the wine mixed with water in the street stalls."

It also costs four copper coins for a bowl, and you may not be able to buy even half a bowl of wine in a restaurant." But even though he thought so in his heart, he hurriedly shouted loudly: "I thank Mrs. Zhu for my humiliation, and Mrs. Liu gave me the reward.

"

The others were holding the pitiful ten copper coins in their hands and were muttering in their hearts. When they heard the county magistrate's shout, they all turned around and hurriedly shouted after them, saying to themselves: "I didn't expect this county magistrate to come back."

It’s quite eye-catching, promising, promising…”

Only then did Wang know that everyone should hurry up, and everyone stood up one by one. The maids and maids also held the very gorgeous robes that Zhu Wen had customized for Wang, and surrounded the old lady to the back hall.

Went to change clothes. Of course Mrs. Liu also had several sets of clothes and jewelry, and so did Zhu Yu. Since Zhu Yu had not yet gotten married when Zhu Wen left, he did not prepare Zhu Yu's wife's share.

Zhu Wen didn't have a good impression of Liu Chong, but he still gave him a hundred taels of silver, saying that the ten taels of silver were returned to him with interest. How could Liu Chong have thought of the ten taels of silver that he had lent back then?

I am so happy to be able to pay back ten times the amount today. One hundred taels is not a small amount. Two taels of silver is enough for their family to feed them for more than half a year. One hundred taels can't be eaten in thirty years.
