贾瑞回到武大郎家中,金莲忙迎了上来:

“叔叔究竟做什么去了?方才怎么听到一声巨响?”

贾瑞答道:“听说是西门庆走在路上被雷给劈了.”

"Stacked by lightning?"

金莲吓了一跳,又想起这些天贾瑞神神秘秘的样子小声问道:

"Uncle, isn't this your fault?"

都说作恶多端会被天打雷劈,谁见过真被雷劈的人?

贾瑞只是一笑道:“嫂嫂说笑了,我又不是天神,也不会仙法道术,哪儿有这本事?大哥如何了?我先去看看他.”

与上次不同,这次因为被告拐带人口,武大郎在牢里着实挨了一顿板子.

好在武大郎生得结实,倒也没有伤及筋骨,只是不能坐着,这会子正在床上趴着.

"Brother, what's going on?" Wu Dalang was about to struggle to stand up when he saw Jia Rui coming in.

“大哥别动,看动着伤处.”贾瑞拦住了,又将西门庆被雷劈的事说了一回.

武大郎听了咬牙道:“可见是老天有眼!”

Jia Rui said: "How do you think your body is?"

武大郎道:“我这贱骨头结实,倒也不妨事,不过行走有些不方便.

方才听你大嫂子说,你猜这些都是西门庆在后头指使的?”

Jia Rui said: "Is there anyone else besides him?"

Wu Dalang said: "There are such people in the world!

不过是一桩酒生意,咱们愿意同他合伙就合,不愿意他竟然用这等下三滥的手段!

没想到这厮居然还要惦记着金莲,简直岂有此理!

Now that I am struck by lightning, I am retribution!”

贾瑞只得说道:“大哥也消消气吧,这阳谷县也不是落足之处,我前些天同嫂嫂商议过一回,等救出大哥后咱们就离了这阳谷县.大哥以为如何?”

武大郎听了有些犹豫道:“这……如今西门庆都已经被雷给劈死了,难不成这阳谷县还无咱们立足之地?”

贾瑞道:“西门庆虽然死了,可这阳谷县令和西门庆沆瀣一气也不是什么好东西.

And Ximen Qing’s successor Wu Yueniang is Wu Qianhu’s daughter…”

武大郎听了问道:“难道……西门庆被雷劈了真是贤弟所为?”

Jia Rui said: "Don't worry about Ximen Qing, I want to go to Bianjing to see it. What do you think?"

武大郎犹豫道:“小小一个阳谷县就如此官绅勾结巧取豪夺,若是到了汴京,岂不是更……”

Jia Rui said: "Bianjing is at the foot of the emperor, and he always has to talk about the law of the king. Who dares to act as blatant as Ximen Qing?

到了汴京咱们找个地方安顿下来,然后接着卖酒.

我已经想好了,往后也不用大哥在外头抛头露面了,咱们只谈好一家有后台的大酒楼做咱们的总代理.

We just serve them soy sauce every day, and don’t care about anything else.”

这话不过是说给武大郎和潘金莲听听罢了.

宋徽宗执政一始也想着要做出一番事业来,奈何用非其人.

他一力提拔高俅,蔡京,梁师成等一波奸臣.

蔡京等打着绍述新法的旗号,无恶不作,政治形势一落千丈.

He pursued extravagant life too much, purchased the "Flower and Stone Gang" in the south, and built the "Gen Yue" in Bianjing.

The treacherous ministers also took the opportunity to make a big splash, causing the people to suffer in vain.

The depth and turbulent water of Bianjing is definitely not comparable to that of Yanggu County.

Jia Rui was naturally planning to go to Bianjing, even if Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian didn't go with him.

The reason why I wanted to bring Wu Dalang with me was mainly because Jia Rui felt that he had pulled Wu Dalang to sell soju to ruin Wu Dalang's original life, and he was really a little sorry for him.

Moreover, Wu Dalang is loyal and can indeed be entrusted.

What's more, there is a good brother named Wu Song at Wuhan University?

Jinlian, who looked at Wu Dalang's hesitant look, also advised:

"Dalang, we have only been in Yanggu County for a few months and have had so many things happening!

We have no support here, so why not follow our uncle to Bianjing to see it?

Besides, we have already seen the uncle’s ability. He regards you as his elder brother and has knowledge. Can he still harm us?

My uncle has already prepared the carriage and horses, so let's go as far as I can tell me.”

Wu Dalang said: "That's right, but we have no money in our hands. Then Bianjing is at the foot of the emperor. Where can we accommodate us? Besides, we have made Ximen Qingkeng so hard. Could this be done?"

Jia Rui sighed and said, "Brother, can't bear to give up money?

Although Ximen Qing is dead, I am afraid that the money will be difficult to get back. He will have to use the money even if he manages some government officials."

Wu Dalang said, "I can't swallow this! Alas, if my second brother is here, how could he suffer such an injustice?"

This was the first time Jia Rui heard Wu Dalang mention Wu Song, and asked, "Why, does the eldest brother have a younger brother?"

Wu Dalang said: "That's right, my brother's name is Wu Song, who is twenty-six years old this year. He has hundreds of kilograms of strength all over his body and has learned kung fu from others. He has the courage to be ten."

Jia Rui asked again: "Where is Brother Wu living now? I think he has become a relative and lived alone?"

Wu Dalang sighed and said, "My dear brother doesn't know. My second brother is good at drinking. He often fights with others when he gets drunk. He is sued every few days.

That day, he fought with people in Qinghe County and knocked them out of nowhere. He thought they were hurting their lives, so he ran away overnight.

Who would have thought that the man was not dead and saved him. I don’t know anything about me outside and dare not come back. I have been away for more than a year now."

Jia Rui sighed and said, "Not to mention that the elder brother's brother doesn't know where he is now, what can he do if he is in Yanggu County at this moment?"
