Next, the waiter talked about the whole story of Song Jiang's murder. It turned out that in July this year, Song Jiang had a pink-headed Yan Poxi to live with. A few days before September, the two men had a quarrel in the middle of the night, and Song Jiang grabbed a clothes-pressing knife.
, and killed Yan Poxi conveniently.
How could Yan Poxi's mother, Yan Po, be willing to give up? She dragged Song Jiang and started making a fuss in front of the county government office. Unexpectedly, there was a second brother Tang named Tang Niuer who was selling pickled glutinous rice. Song Jiang often helped him.
When Song Jiang was in trouble, he moved forward with all his strength, and took away the hand that Yan Po was holding on to Song Jiang. Then he slapped the old Qian Po on the face, hitting the sky with stars, and waited until Yan Po woke up from his stupor.
Song Jiang had already disappeared without a trace.
Then Yan Po called Chuang Tianqu and dragged Tang Niu'er to the court. Then everyone was in a panic, shouting everywhere to catch the murderer, but nowhere could he be caught?
Ximen Qing said with a smile: "If you can't catch it today, you will catch it tomorrow. I heard that there are two heads in Yuncheng County, one is called Zhu Tong, the beautiful bearded man, and the other is called Lei Heng, the winged tiger. They are both good at biting copper and chewing iron.
Good skill, I'm just afraid that Song Yasi won't be able to escape from these two people's Wuzhishan."
The waiter sneered and said: "In my opinion, even if it takes a hundred years, I won't be able to catch you. After all, justice is in the heart of the people!"
As he said that, he looked around and whispered in Ximen Qing's ear: "People in Yuncheng County are like mirrors in their hearts. That Yan Poxi has an acquaintance who works on a public case with Song Yasi, named Zhang Wenyuan.
Xiao Zhang San. These two bastards were entangled with each other, and only one of them was Hidden Song. Everyone in the county said that Song Yasi must have been angry with the thief and prostitute, so he raised the knife and went in in vain.
The red one is very popular! All the officials in the county are good friends with Song Yasi. Who is willing to put in the effort to catch him? That's why the young man dares to boast about Haikou. He won't be able to catch him in a hundred years!
"
Ximen Qing pretended to be surprised and said: "If the gentlemen are unwilling to do their best, and the magistrate and the county magistrate investigate, how can they afford the limited stick?"
The waiter sneered: "My lord, you don't know, my county magistrate likes Song Yasi the most. However, if Zhang Wenyuan hadn't instigated Yan Po to pursue the case, Hulu Ti would have dismissed Song Yasi for a long time! This move
Limiting the stick and holding people accountable, but where do we start?”
Ximen Qing then smiled and said: "It seems that this case must also follow the practice of officialdom - reduce big things to small, small things have been reduced!"
The waiter also laughed and said, "Isn't that so? I heard the book clerk who was next to the county magistrate came to have a drink and said, isn't there another Tang Niu'er? I asked that Tang Niu'er why he was running away with the murderer.
', twenty spine sticks, five hundred miles away with thorns. I heard that the documents have been prepared and will be sent to the Xianggong Yamen of the prefecture of Jeju Prefecture in a few days. In this way, this place in Yuncheng County
The clouds have all dispersed in one day, so Song Yasi will hide for a few days until the imperial court offers a general amnesty to the whole country, all crimes will be reduced, and if he spends two coins, he will be fine."
Ximen Qing muttered: "In this way, only Tang Niu'er will suffer."
The waiter said nonchalantly: "So what? Anyway, he is just a seller of bad ginger, and he only helps Song Yasi on weekdays. Let him take the blame for Song Yasi today, which is also a blessing he gained in his previous life."
Ximen Qing shook his head: "But you can't say that. Tang Niu'er sacrificed his life for Song Yasi. If he hadn't snatched Song Yasi from Yan Po in front of the county government, he would be in prison now.
, I'm afraid it's not Tang Niu'er, but Song Gongming. This person has worked so hard, but in the end he is blamed. Isn't it chilling to say that? Put yourself in his shoes! If one day, you, second brother, are in the same situation.
How do you feel about this ending?"
"This..." The waiter, who was always sharp-tongued, was speechless.
At this time, the food and wine were all ready, and Ximen Qing stopped talking to the waiter who was bowing his head in deep thought. He just enjoyed eating and drinking. After finishing the meal, he paid the bill and left the restaurant, leading his horse straight to the county government office.
When he arrived at the Yamen, Ximen Qing grabbed a man and asked, "Brother, may I ask where Zhu Dutou and Lei Dutou are?"
The gentleman saw that Ximen Qing was dressed in bright brocade clothes and had a tall horse beside him. He must be either rich or noble, so he did not dare to neglect him and hurriedly agreed: "I have nothing to do, so I will take the young master to find the two heads."
!”
Ximen thanked him and said, "It's such a hard work!" But he thought in his heart: "It turns out that among the gentlemen in this world, few are diligent and dedicated, and many are idle. However, they have not made much progress over thousands of years!"
The man took Ximen Qing to a wing and shouted at the door: "Zhu Dutou, Lei Dutou, are you two here? We have a distinguished guest coming!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone in the room saying in a drunken voice: "Where are there so many distinguished guests? Are they here to disturb my two brothers from drinking?" As he said, one person grabbed the wine gourd, opened his arms, and tilted his head.
Drunken eyes dangled out of the door.
When Ximen Qing looked at him, he saw that he was seven feet five inches tall, with a purple-tang complexion and a beard with a fan ring. Although his eyes were drunk, they were still shining when he opened and closed them. His lower body looked like he was drunk and vain.
, but when he settled down, he was still cautious. Ximen Qing knew what he was doing, thanked the leader, stepped forward and said, "Isn't this Lei Hengleidu, who is so powerful in Shandong and known as the 'winged tiger'?"
Upon hearing Ximen Qing's compliment that he was "mighty in Shandong", Lei Heng sobered up half of his wine and kept the other half as a material for his own pleasure. He hurriedly covered his arms and put the wine gourd on the window sill.
, cupping his fists and cupping his hands, he said: "I am Lei Heng, who are you?"
Ximen Qing was about to answer when he heard the sound of footsteps and another good man walked out of the house. This man was eight feet forty-five feet long, with a tiger beard and beard, one foot and five inches long, a face as heavy as jujubes, and eyes as bright as stars.
, and stood majestically in the courtyard, as if Guan Yu was reincarnated and the Martial Saint was reborn. Different from Lei Heng's bold and uninhibited attitude, although this person also smelled of alcohol on his face, his clothes and makeup had been neatly packed, and he was in front of others.
At one stop, I don’t know what my abilities are, but my foresight is outstanding.
Seeing this man, Ximen Qing's eyes lit up. He was not in a hurry to answer Lei Heng's questions. He just bowed his hands to this man as a gift and said with a smile: "Tiger do not flock with dogs and sheep, but those who can be friends with winged tigers
, how can we be treated as equals? Isn’t this brother Zhu Tong and Zhu Dutou, who is known as the ‘Beautiful Beard Master’?”
Although Lei Heng was a man of righteousness, he was somewhat narrow-minded. When he saw Ximen Qing greeting Zhu Ding directly without answering him first, he felt countless uneasiness in his stomach and wanted to break out. But after listening to what Ximen Qing said
"Tigers do not flock with dogs and sheep." He still praised himself as the number one person. He was overjoyed and thought that he had just judged the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and he couldn't help but feel extremely guilty.
Seeing Ximen Qing's majesty, Zhu Tong did not dare to look down upon him at all. He also held his hand in greeting: "I am Zhu Tong, but I dare not ask the young master for his surname?"
Ximen Qing cupped his fists and saluted Zhu Tong and Lei Heng: "I am Ximen Qing, my name is Siquan, and I live in Qinghe. How lucky you are to meet these two heroes today!"
Zhu Tong's eyes lit up: "Could it be that Qinghe Ximen Qing, a high-ranking official from Ximen, who came back from the underworld and cooked cakes to help the world?"
Ximen Qing could only smile secretly in his heart: "What kind of ghosts come back from the underworld and cook cakes to help the world? With such a name, in the ears of these gangsters, the polite ones just treat it as fun, and the rude ones will scold me to death. There’s no more food and wine bags left!”
Although he was frustrated in his heart, he still said seriously: "It's Xiao Ke!"
His promise didn't matter, Lei Heng jumped up early and jumped to Ximen Qing's side. It was really indescribable how light and fast he was. It seems that there is a legend in the world that this man can jump two to three feet wide. It is true. language.
With his hands clasped above his head, Lei Heng gave Ximen Qing a deep bow, his forehead almost touching the instep of his feet. The range of movement was so large that even an acrobat could not master it.
I heard Lei Heng say respectfully: "Master Ximen, Brother Zhu Dian and I have heard of your name a long time ago. We are so lucky to meet you today. Come on, come on! This is not the place to talk. Let's go into the house." Talk! Come into the house and talk!”
After saying that, he took Ximen Qing's hand and walked toward the house together, looking really affectionate. Zhu Tong smiled and shook his head, then led Ximen Qing's horse and tied it, and returned to the house after carrying the robe on the horse's back. Come here.
As soon as Ximen Qing entered the room, he first smelled the smell of alcohol. He saw two wine bowls on the table in the room, a row of wine jars stacked on the ground, and several plates of cooked goose torn to pieces. and beef with soy sauce. They must have been eating and drinking happily when Ximen Qing came to visit.
Smelling the fragrant smell of meat in the room, Ximen Qing couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva - this is the original beef from the Northern Song Dynasty! Compared with the Japanese Saga black beef, it is more authentic and has the original flavor. My son's beef! Although Ximen Qing had already eaten and drank, he still couldn't help but move his index finger.
But Lei Heng was a sharp-sighted person. When he saw Ximen Qing's Adam's apple twitching, he immediately invited him: "Brother Zhu and I are drinking. If Ximen officials don't mind, can we join in and let's have a good time?"
Ximen Qing smiled and said, "This couldn't be better!" That's right! Eating hormone-free beef and drinking with the heroes of Liangshan. In the hearts of men, it is true that everyone will get drunk if they are not drunk.
The three of them sat casually, sifting through large bowls of wine and eating large pieces of meat. When Zhu Dian and Lei Heng saw that although Ximen Qing was a gentle man, he behaved very freely, they were delighted: "This high-ranking official from Ximen is not that kind of person." Wait for the naughty birdman!"
After drinking for three rounds, Zhu Tong asked, "I wonder if the high official from Ximen is here today. What advice do you have?"
Ximen Qing put down the wine bowl and said, "I have an important matter that I have to discuss with both of you!" This is exactly:
He is brave enough to show his bravery and uprightness, and break through the hidden puppets. But he doesn’t know what Ximen Qing’s important matter is. Let’s listen to the explanation next time.
