Chapter 62 The Way of Balance
Master Cheng said: "Okay, there is a large open space in the garden."
The guards brought Wu Song the steel knife for the performance, and the group came to the garden to demonstrate the knife skills. Next to the rockery not far away, a beautiful woman in her twenties was followed by a young man of sixteen or seventeen, and two maids were behind her.
This beauty is no one else, she is the daughter of the prefect Cheng, so Cheng Wan'er is. The youngest son is the son of the prefect Cheng, so he is called Zhishi.
"Sister, no wonder the magpies screamed happily this morning. It turns out that your fate is here." Cheng Zhi said.
Cheng Wan said: "Where does the fate come from?"
"It's right there, that dad will definitely betroth you to Wu Song."
Cheng Wan's face turned red and she said, "Didn't Dong Ping agree to propose marriage to his father a while ago? Why did his brother say that his father betrothed me to Wu Song?"
"Dad is the head of civil servants in Dongping Prefecture, and Dong Ping is the head of military officers in Dongping Prefecture. Civil servants and military families have become in-laws, but they do not comply with the rules of the court, but they are prone to arouse suspicion from the court. Third, Dong Ping is arrogant and arrogant, so his father will not agree to Dong Ping." Cheng Zhi said.
"How could Dad beg me to Wu Song again?" Cheng Wan asked back.
"Wu Song was born as a civilian and became the head of the capital by relying on his martial arts. With his ability not inferior to Dong Ping, his father would definitely give Wu Song the position of the police commander of the Dongping Prefecture. Wu Song and Dong Ping have conflicts, so this position is just right for him."
"You are confused about your sister. Why do Wu Song and Dong Ping have conflicts, and Dad insists on betrothing me to Wu Song?"
"It's very simple. If you get engaged with Wu Song, the conflict between Wu Song and Dong Ping will be irreconcilable. This is exactly what my father wants. The police commander is in charge of the seven hundred police officers in the Dongping Prefecture, which is an important armed force in the civil service system. Our civil and military division system in the Song Dynasty, so this force must be held in our hands." Cheng Zhi said.
At this time, Wu Song had already begun to demonstrate his martial arts. He took off his grown-up clothes and Wu Song said: "Sir Cheng, please allow Wu Song to warm up before the demonstration."
“How to warm up.”
"Just raise the lion." Wu Song said as he raised a stone lion next to the garden. The lion was not big, and it was carved with bluestone, which was only more than 300 kilograms. Wu Song was in his hand, raised it back and forth like a dumbbell, warmed up, and then put the lion down lightly.
"Erlang is really a god. There are many warriors in my Dongping Mansion who can lift this lion, but there is really no one who can be as relaxed as Erlang." Cheng Wanli exclaimed.
Wu Song said: "Sir, I'm too rewarded, let's look at Wu Song's sword technique."
Wu Song's sword technique is called Qiufeng Leaf Knife, which is a routine taught by artists who are performing arts in the world. The moves are very beautiful. In other words, it is better to call it a sword dance than a sword dance.
I saw a snow-like steel knife flying up and down in Wu Song's hand, whirring, the knife came like the wind, the knife disappeared without a trace, the steel knife wrapped in fallen leaves, flying in the air, which was very beautiful. The expert looked at the trick, and if this knife technique was killed faster than anyone else on the battlefield, but Cheng Wanli was an outsider, and he watched it lively, and applauded: "Erlang is good at sword techniques, Erlang is good at sword techniques." Of course, most people use this knife technique just a flower stand, but Wu Song uses it differently, with great strength, fast movements, and many killer moves.
Wu Song put away his knife, and Prefect Cheng was very polite and took Wu Song's hand back to the living room.
The servants served tea and took the seat. The guest and host took a seat. Cheng Magistrate said: "I heard that the public security in the Yanggu County you are responsible for has improved a lot. The incidents were 80% less than the year-on-year. There were very few people stealing and robbing families. I don't know how Erlang managed it."
Wu Song said: "I believe the prefect also knows that Wu Song was born in poverty and studied hard since childhood, and did not understand the principle of governing the country and ensuring national security. But Wu Song knew the principle that diligence could make up for his shortcomings. Can he be called a policeman without patrol? The fifty constables in Yanggu County patrolled day and night, trained daily, and were naturally fine, and they were all stupid methods."
Cheng Wanli nodded: "Everyone wants to take shortcuts, but in fact, down-to-earth is the most important thing. The police commander of the Dongping Prefecture, the elderly and weak, have proposed to resign. Are Erlang interested in taking over this position?"
The so-called police commander, also known as the arrest envoy, is said to be the current criminal police captain. In fact, it is nonsense. Your criminal police captain has hundreds of subordinates? The official staff and temporary workers at the highest level of the maximum number of employees. Therefore, this position is equivalent to the position of the special police captain or the riot captain. It belongs to the light armed forces and is directly led by the prefect's yamen. It is not on the same line as the army, and the combat tasks are also different.
The army is mainly responsible for dealing with foreign enemies or serious bandits and bandits. The police are mainly responsible for public security and arresting criminals.
When Wu Song heard Lord Cheng say he wanted to be the police commander of Dongping Prefecture, he was very happy and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Lord Su, the magistrate of Yanggu County, has a kindness to Wu Song for his kindness. I promised him to maintain the public security of Yanggu and provide assistance to Lord Su's economic development."
Cheng Wanli laughed and said, "Erlang is worried too much. The police commander supervises the Dutou Police Officer in the county below. Yanggu is a county under the rule of Dongping Prefecture. You can be the police commander and manage the security of Yanggu at the same time. It is in line with the court system."
"Then there is no problem. Wu Song will definitely not let Lord Cheng down." Wu Song said.
The prefect Cheng was overjoyed and immediately ordered his servants to prepare food and drinks. During the meal, the prefect Cheng called out his daughter Cheng Wan to toast Wu Song. Cheng Wansheng had fair skin, tall figure, and long hair. She was very beautiful and charming. Wu Song couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Cheng Wan came back from toasting and was dancing with carelessness, dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong
"Isn't it very handsome? Haha." Brother Cheng Zhi smiled.
"Little guy, dare to laugh at my sister, look at it." The two of them beat him up.
Just as Wu Song was having dinner at the prefect's office, Li Kui and others were waiting at the headquarters of Tongda Car Shop, Yunzhou City. Li Kui walked back and forth and said, "Brother will not be in any danger. It's like a crow in the world. It's hard to guarantee that Cheng Wanli will not attack his brother. He asked me to come to the door with a trick and save his brother. At worst, he would just go up the mountain and fall into the grass."
Wu Yong said: "Don't be impatient, don't forget your brother's arrangements. Your brother will only have good things to go there, absolutely no bad things. If you don't expect it, your brother will definitely be reused."
Li Kui said, "You scholar is just coaxing me. I am a little student. Don't lie to me. Brother Wu Song beat me up. The one Dong Ping and Dong Du Supervisor."
Wu Yong shook his head and said, "It is because my brother beats Dong Ping that he is valued. You don't understand if you say it, so wait with peace of mind."
Not long after, Wu Song came back.
Everyone went over and greeted each other, and Wu Song said, "It made everyone worry, the matter was resolved. Lord Cheng presided over, Dong Fei and Xue Qiang compensated Liu Dawang for 20 taels of silver for the decoction. This matter was over. Seeing that I was good at martial arts, Lord Cheng appointed my police commander to take charge of the seven hundred police officers of Dongping Prefecture. After a few days, he will take office."
