Chapter 1 Young Master's Loyalty in the Rivers and Lakes
As soon as the verdict of Wu Song's assassination against Mengzhou came out, everyone in Qinghe County from Li Zhi County down was greatly disappointed, and they all secretly complained: "Our pleadings are all watertight. Wu Dutou should have been acquitted, but now he has not
Is there any natural reason for assassinating Mengzhou, which is two thousand miles away? Is there any royal law for this?"
For a time, the reputation of Chen Wenzhao, the prefect of Dongping, was ruined a lot in the small circle of Qinghe officialdom.
Wu Dalang was satisfied. Although he made friends with the officials in Qinghe, he could not imitate their conscience. His brother did kill someone and took on a debt, so he was lucky to escape with his life. Anyway, his family already has money.
Even though he was two thousand miles away, he could not suffer much. He only hoped that his brother would make atonement for his sins in Mengzhou. I would also offer merit cakes to him in the Taoist temple in front of the Buddha every day. When the emperor's grace comes, the world's sins will be reduced.
Wait, brothers can also struggle out of the sea of suffering, return to Qinghe, and become good citizens again.
Chen Wenzhao, the prefect of Dongping, had already surrendered. He took Wen Tie into custody at the court, and took it with two escort officials, inevitably Wang Wu and Zhao Liu. They escorted Wu Song to Mengzhou for delivery.
Wang Wu and Zhao Liu escorted Wu Song out of the government office. Wu Dalang had already been waiting in front of the door with his neck stretched out. When he saw the two servants, he stepped forward and saluted: "Brother Duangong, the villain is already in the restaurant next door.
I've prepared water and wine, and I'll ask the two Duan Gong brothers to show their respect to us."
It turns out that all the public servants in the Song Dynasty were called Duangong. Duangong was originally the honorific title of the imperial censor in the Tang Dynasty, so it was also called Duan Gong in Taiwan. In the Song Dynasty, ordinary servants were called Duan Gong by this title, which was a connotation of contempt for officials in the previous dynasty.
It can also be seen.
If it were others, Wang Wu and Zhao Liu would definitely use their identities to make things difficult for them, even if they squeezed out a bunch of more money, it would be good. But Wu Dalang is a well-known local chef. Who doesn't know about it in Dongping Mansion? Who doesn't know about it? Wang
Five, how dare Zhao Liu be negligent? He hurriedly returned the greeting and said: "What did Master Wu Xing say? Only when the Star Master talks to our brothers is it called a face reward. If you have anything to say, just give him the order in person, why do you need to prepare wine?"
Wu Dalang said: "The etiquette cannot be discarded." He then led the way and introduced the two escorts into the restaurant. Wu Song followed behind and wanted to talk to his brother several times, but Wu Dalang just turned his head and ignored him, and Wu Song had no choice but to talk.
The ground follows.
When we arrived at a pavilion in the restaurant and sat down, the bartender had already set out the wine cups, vegetables, fruits, and wine to set up a table. Wu Dalang invited Wang Wu and Zhao Liu to sit down, and then he said straight to the point: "You two
Mr. Duan, unfortunately, my Wu family has encountered this evil obstacle and committed an accident, which has forced the two of you to travel two thousand miles to see him off. It is the hot weather in May at this time, and the wind and dust along the way are unbearable.
How can I, Wu Zhi, feel sorry for you two? Therefore, despite this old face, I would like to ask the two Duangong to escort my brother and return to Qinghe County first, and then go home to pack some luggage.
I send you two gentlemen off on their way with dignity and respect."
Wang Wu and Zhao Liu listened and agreed: "Master Wu Xing, we also have people's hearts. Wu Dutou is our tiger fighting hero in Shandong. If we don't take care of him, who will take care of him? Don't worry, Master Xing, we have eaten
After getting some wine, we went to Qinghe together. If Wudu has a bruise on his head and body, it’s okay to rest at home for a few days. Otherwise, if the club sore breaks out on a hot day, it will be a fatal thing."
Wu Dalang thanked him profusely and pushed the two small bags over, saying: "Two Duan Gong, this trip to Mengzhou involves mountains and rivers far away, and it takes a long time to go back and forth. If your family is short of firewood and rice, how can it be done?
Isn't it my brother's fault? With a little thought, I asked the two Duke Duans to collect it for the An family's use. As for the travel expenses, I will naturally raise enough when I get to Qinghe, and then I invite the two Duke Duans to go on the road."
When Wang Wu and Zhao Liu saw that their pockets were not big, they murmured in their hearts that Lord Wu Xing was stingy, and actually gave it away with "small intentions". Isn't it stingy? Unexpectedly, when they opened the bag, they were shocked and dumbfounded.
, it turned out to be the gold leaf that Ximen Qing brought back from Tokyo, and it came in handy again.
Thanks to Master Wu Xing's kindness, Wang Wu and Zhao Liu wanted to have their chests broken. After dinner and wine, they returned home and handed over the gold. The two of them escorted Wu Song and headed straight for Qinghe County. Wu Dalang Restaurant
After the middle manager treated the two of them, he left long ago. From the beginning to the end, he did not say a word to Wu Song, leaving Wu Song on pins and needles.
Wang Wu and Zhao Liu first got the gold, and secondly they respected Wu Song as a brave man, so they only waited for Wu Song carefully along the way, not daring to treat him lightly, and went straight to Qinghe County. They just arrived at the county seat this day.
At the door, a young boy carrying a fruit basket shouted joyfully: "Here he comes! Here he comes!" Then another boy jumped out of the tea shed next to him, mounted a white horse, and ran into the city like flying.
.
Brother Yun came up early to greet him and said, "Well done to you two, Mr. Duan. Fresh fruit is the best way to quench your thirst during the journey. You two, Mr. Duan, can just use it. It's just a little bit of poverty on the part of the villain."
Wang Wu and Zhao Liu glanced at Wu Song, Wu Song nodded, and Wang Wu smiled and said: "In this case, our brothers will no longer be polite to the younger brother!" After saying that, he put his hand into the basket, picked it out first, and sent it to
Wu Song had it in his hands, and then he and Zhao Liuda started eating it.
Wu Song then asked: "Brother Yun, what are you doing here?"
Brother Yun said with a smile: "It's good to teach Mr. Wu that the official from Ximen has arranged for me and his family Daian to wait here for the arrival of Mr. Wu." Look at the two gentlemen sitting in the tea shed.
Guozi drank a sip of tea happily. Brother Yun raised his thumb and shook his head: "Second Master Wu, Earl Ying's family was killed so happily! If Brother Yun hadn't been drunk that day, he would have gone with Second Master Wu.
, just start it, it is also a show of loyalty from my brother Yun!"
Wu Song stopped chewing and looked into Brother Yun's eyes: "Brother Yun, do you really think that killing someone is a happy and unrestrained thing?"
Brother Yun nodded and said with an envious look: "Now in Qinghe County, when it is said that Master Wu spared no one and killed all the traitors including Earl Ying, who didn't praise him without words? Even the people passing by in the courtyard were full of praise.
, they all compiled this story into a script and sung it. In addition to the story about Ximen’s high official returning to life and marrying a ghost, we in Qinghe have now added the story about Mr. Wu’s killing of tigers and thieves. Listening to it makes people feel uplifted!"
Wu Song looked at Brother Yun's young and excited face, slowly shook his head, and looked deeply into Brother Yun's eyes: "Brother Yun, I have a few words, but you have to remember them clearly!"
Brother Yun saw that Wu Song was speaking solemnly and did not dare to be negligent. He nodded repeatedly and said: "Master Wu, please tell me. Brother Yun will definitely keep it in mind!"
Wu Song took a deep breath and said: "Brother Yun, I, Wu Er, am just a reckless man. I can't explain the truth. I can only tell you - it is not good to kill people! You will regret killing people! Regret is the kind of regret that cannot be expressed.
, which makes people unable to eat well and sleep well, and dreams in the middle of the night are like nightmares! During those days in prison, I was really afraid, not of beheading my life, but of dying like this and never being able to atone for my sins or repent.
Opportunity! Brother Yun, if you can't hold back your anger for a while and want to wield a knife against innocent people, I hope you will think about what I said today!"
Brother Yun had a look of confusion on his face and whispered softly: "You are a hero! How can a hero be afraid?"
Wu Song's face was full of self-deprecation: "What kind of hero? A real hero is like a senior official in Ximen, who silently and invisibly helps people in need and relieves people's difficulties. Just like what my master Zhou Tong taught me back then - great wisdom is like foolishness, great courage is like cowardice , I’m just a martial artist, so what kind of hero am I?”
Seeing that Brother Yun's face was still hazy, Wu Song sighed and said: "Maybe you young people can't understand what I'm saying. Brother Yun, anyway, remember - whether it's happiness or loyalty, it doesn't matter about killing! "
Brother Yun was deep in thought when he suddenly heard a commotion in the city gate. A row of people came out and said in a confused voice: "It turns out that Brother Wu is back!" This is exactly:
If we say that a hero must be bloodthirsty, let's see that the butcher is also called the king. But I don't know who is coming? Let's listen to the explanation in the next chapter.
