Hearing that Ximen Qing said that he had something to discuss with the two of them, Lei Heng was very happy. He drank all the wine in the bowl and said generously: "Master Ximen, if you have something to do, just ask me, we can do it."
If it is possible, Brother Zhu and I will definitely do it for you; if it is not possible, I, Lei Heng, will try my best to do it for you!"
When Ximen Qing heard Lei Heng's words so decisively, he murmured in his heart: "It's just the first time we've seen this winged tiger today, but why is it so heart-wrenching for me?" But he saw Zhu Ding's eyes fixed on him, waiting for him.
Next, I didn't have time to think too much about these details, so I clasped my fists and said seriously: "I took the liberty of visiting you today because of the affairs of my brother Song Jiang and Song Gongming."
As soon as he said this, the room fell silent. Although Zhu Dian looked at Ximen Qing intently, Lei Heng also put down the wine bowl in his hand and stared at him blankly.
After a long time, Lei Hengcai murmured to himself: "I didn't expect that a senior official from Ximen would also know Brother Song Jiang."
Ximen Qing waved his hand hurriedly: "Where can I have such a blessing to be able to see the honor of brother Gongming? I came to Yuncheng this time because I wanted to meet the famous Shiyu in person, but I heard about it as soon as I entered the city.
He killed someone who threw fireworks and fled in the rivers and lakes. Alas! But I am so unlucky that when I enter the temple, I can't even see the true face of the Buddha!" I felt melancholy and drank myself a bowl.
Lei Heng hurriedly filled up the wine for Ximen Qing, and Zhu Tong asked: "Today, Song Jiang has fled without knowing where to go, but what's the matter with the high officials from Ximen coming to look for Brother Lei and me?"
Ximen Qing knocked on the table lightly: "Although brother Gongming escaped safely, he left a huge trouble in Yuncheng County, which is related to the reputation of brother Gongming for the rest of his life. I am very anxious after hearing this.
I came to discuss with both heroes, which one should I go to?"
Zhu Tong and Lei Heng both widened their eyes: "Oh? I don't know what it is, but it is so important. Can it affect Brother Song Jiang's eternal reputation?"
Ximen Qing frowned and said, "Is there a person named Tang Niu'er involved in the case of Brother Gongming?"
"Yes, yes!" Lei Heng nodded repeatedly, "There is such a helper. I heard that he is a pickle seller and is currently in the county jail."
Ximen Qing sighed: "I heard in the city that Tang Niu'er was a loyal man. In front of the county government, if he hadn't drawn his sword to help, he would have snatched Gongming's brother from the hands of Yan Po.
Brother Gongming has been in prison for a long time now! Now that Brother Gongming is out of danger, he has trapped Tang Niuer in prison. If we don't rescue him, won't we be ridiculed by the heroes in the world, saying that Brother Gongming is
Are you a hypocrite who burns bridges and betrays his friends in times of trouble?"
With just one sentence, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng both put down the wine bowls in their hands and looked at each other with wide eyes.
Wiping the wine dregs from his beard, Lei Heng said hesitantly: "Isn't this... the high-ranking official of Ximen too worried? Song Taigong sent his family's fourth son, 'Iron Fan' Song Qing, to send money up and down, Qian Ding
Wan ordered that the crime should be pinned on Tang Niuer, and that this matter must be dealt with as a solid case, and that the limelight should be calmed down first. Why, how could it be involved in burning bridges across rivers and betraying friends in times of trouble? "
Ximen Qing slapped the table: "Oh! The old man Song Taigong must have cherished his son too much. In desperation, he did something stupid! How to do this if Tang Niu'er is blamed? Although that person is just a villain.
, but his burning heart for Brother Gongming is real! It doesn’t matter that Tang Niuer was trapped today, but if Brother Gongming finds out afterwards, how should he be asked to behave? With Brother Gongming’s loyal character,
Doesn't this force him to commit suicide to thank the world?"
Zhu Tong had been listening to Ximen Qing's words, just thinking in silence. At this time, he finally said: "I think about what Ximen said carefully, but the more I think about it, the more sense it makes. This Tang Niuer is related to Brother Song Jiang."
Your reputation cannot be dealt with at will."
Lei Heng smiled bitterly and said: "Those office clerks around the county magistrate have taken money from the Song family and are extremely cunning. They have already pinned this case on Tang Niu'er. Now even the documents submitted to the Supreme Court have been stamped."
, I will send it to the police after these two days. But what should I do about this?"
Ximen Qing pointed to the robe that Zhu Tong carried on his back and said, "It's urgent! I still have a few village notes here, so I'll ask you to buy them for me. Let's slow down the matter first. If it's not enough,
At that time, I wrote a letter back to Qinghe and sent someone to deliver it. Everything is as long as Tang Niuer is fine and the face of brother Gongming is the most important thing!"
As soon as these words came out, both Zhu Tong and Lei Heng were shocked and moved. In this world, everyone can be a gentleman with words, but those who are willing to spend real money and do practical work cannot be selected out of 11,000.
One came. Ximen Qing's big bag was bulging with money, at least five or six hundred guan. Unexpectedly, without blinking an eye, he pushed it over and used it for a pickle seller. Such a loyal man is rare in the world.
Zhu Danglei glanced at each other, and the two of them jumped up in unison and saluted Ximen Qing deeply again, and Ximen Qing hurriedly returned the courtesy.
Zhu Tong then said: "Now is the time of crisis, and our brothers will no longer be polite to the high-ranking officials in Ximen. Brother Lei, you take the money and spend it in the yamen; but I have to go to Songjiazhuang to meet you."
I saw Song Taigong state his interests. But we can't pull Tang Niu'er out of the fire pit here, while Song Taigong kicked Tang Niu'er into the fire pit over there, twice as hard as he could, that would be really funny!"
Ximen Qing then said: "Thank you, both of you are in trouble. Then I will go find that Yan Po and give her more money so that she will not pursue the case!"
Zhu Tong nodded repeatedly: "That's very good! But this matter cannot be accomplished in a day. Where are the high-ranking officials of Ximen resting these days? If there is an emergency, Brother Lei and I will find a place for you.
."
Ximen Qing said: "As soon as I entered the city and heard what happened to my brother Gongming, I didn't even finish my meal before I came to see you two. Now, I can just find an inn and have a place to sleep!"
Now the top priority is saving lives and restoring brother Gongming's reputation. Do you still care about coveting the comfort of that hot bed and quilt?"
Before he finished speaking, Lei Heng's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "In that case, why don't the high officials from Ximen come to my house to stay and discuss things like this, wouldn't it be more convenient?" After saying that, he said to Zhu Tong.
A look.
Zhu Tong then smiled and said: "Master Ximen, brother Lei also has an old mother in his home. She is a devout worshiper of Buddha, and she is good at making clean and good meals. If a high official settles down in brother Lei's house, it will be convenient for you and me to communicate.
, wouldn’t it be nice to save a lot of worry when it comes to eating and drinking?”
Ximen Qing had already made up his mind at this time. How could he forget that there was an old woman in Lei Heng's family who worshiped Buddha devoutly? No wonder Lei Heng was so respectful to him when he heard his name. He must have already boasted about his meritorious deeds.
It came into the ears of Mrs. Lei Heng.
Ximen Qing's guess was indeed correct. The merit cake he made with his own hands has become famous throughout Shandong. Lei Heng's mother yearned for it and whispered it in Lei Heng's ears countless times. Unfortunately, now
The merit cakes are all auctioned, and what is being auctioned is not spot goods, but standardized contracts that can be cashed in later. Even though Lei Heng is a boss, he has made a lot of money in his hands, but when it comes to the same as those wealthy people
Da Jia was bidding at the same auction, but he really didn't have the strength.
Because of this matter, Lei Heng was often scolded by my mother. It was fine to be scolded, but seeing my unhappy look on the face of my mother's unfulfilled wish, Lei Heng, as a filial son, really felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Unexpectedly, today, Ximen Qing came to his door. Lei Heng’s happiness was really extraordinary. No matter what, he had to invite the high official Ximen back home so that my mother could see this reincarnated star with her own eyes. If
If you can get a merit cake from a high-ranking official nearby, it will be even more lucky.
Lei Heng wanted to be kind to Ximen Qing, and Ximen Qing also wanted to marry a winged tiger. The two hit it off immediately, and Ximen Qing clasped his fists and said, "In that case, I'm going to bother Lei Du!"
Lei Heng opened his mouth in joy and couldn't close it again. He just smiled like "hehe" - after today, I won't scold myself as a useless son anymore, right?
After the discussion was settled, Ximen Qing said: "Without further delay, let's take action now. Zhu Dutou is going to take a long way to Songjiazhuang outside the city, so he can ride on this horse! I'll go home with Lei Dutou first to recognize him.
Door, and then assigned to work!" This is exactly:
When a true gentleman encounters a hypocrite, a person with good intentions is regarded as a person with no intentions. But I don’t know whether the matter is going smoothly or not. Let’s listen to the explanation next time.
