Where did Liu Jing know this, he first retired with the county order, and led Han Xiaoniang back to the inn to rest, Hou San came back earlier because he took the horse and mule, and let the guy lead him to the backyard stable to raise.

Tang County Ling returned to the county office, first went to the back house, discussed with his wife for a long time, sent someone to invite the gentry of Hecheng with a post, and in an hour, gathered in the county Yazhongtang, saluted each other, and the old Tang said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has heard about today's events, if it weren't for Liu Daochang's help, the people of my city would have been slaughtered, and you may be even more in trouble."

Everyone thought so, and an elder said: "The county lord is reasonable, if it weren't for the head of Liu Dao this time, even if the city gate is not broken, I am afraid that the money for buying the road will be defrauded more than a thousand times." ”

Lao Tang struck while the iron was hot: "Only now there are Liangshan thieves who rob their homes and houses, and this Laishan bandit is not extinguished in the near future, if you know that Liu Daochang is gone, you will raise troops to take revenge, and then the students are only afraid that they will meet with you, and the people in the city will also suffer." ”

"What, then Liu Daochang is leaving, where are you going?" The crowd was shocked.

"People who have grown into immortals and become immortals and people who have attained Taoism naturally want to go to Bianjing to do business, where can we stay in this small county."

"Absolutely not, you must think of keeping the Dao Chief!" The old man Liu Yuanwai jumped to his feet in a hurry regardless of his identity: "The native soldiers in my city, like chickens and dogs, how to prevent the thieves from taking revenge, if the Taoist is gone, the old man has to flee with his family." And they all responded.

The county commander was secretly happy in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The student has a strategy, the soldiers and horses in my county are missing, and the soldiers are led by the soldiers, and they are also from the eighth grade, I want to let the chief of Liu Dao receive it, and the chief must agree, but where does the money and food come from." With that, he shook his head and sighed.

"The county respects the rest to be troubled, but there is a separate courtyard in the city, although it is not spacious, it is also three into three rooms, so he gave the Taoist chief the right to be the capital eunuch, and pledged two hundred copper coins to fund the military." Other squires also donated money one after another, and donated thousands of wealth for a while.

Old Tang was overjoyed, let the servants remember them one by one, ordered a banquet, and invited Liu Jing to the banquet.

During the banquet, Lao Tang pondered for a long time, and then said: "I know that the virtuous brother is bent on going to the rivers and lakes, and the brother should not be forced to stay, with the ability of the virtuous brother, he can make a name for himself wherever he goes, but when the time comes, the chief officials of other states and counties will be forced to stay, nothing more than worship, guests, and heads, but the virtuous brother is a guest and is afraid of being envied." ”

Liu Jing listened, silent, the old Tang struck while the iron was hot: "Now this Shandong territory is full of thieves, there are Kou in the mountains, and there is Liang Shanbo called what is the white-clothed Xiushi Wang Lun, leading people to rob the house, borrowing grain from four states, and the thieves in the mountains are not extinguished, if they know that the virtuous brother is gone, they will raise troops to take revenge, and then they are only afraid that they will be separated from the virtuous brother Yin and Yang, and the people in the city will also suffer." ”

Shen sank, and said: "It just so happens that the soldiers and horses in this city are short, and they are brave for their brothers, and they want to invite the virtuous brother to take up this position, although it is only from the eighth grade, it is also counted as a member, so you and I brothers are of the same heart and operate here together, isn't it beautiful, I don't know what the virtuous brother wants?" ”

Liu Jing looked at Hou Sanye Han Xiaoniang, and saw that the two of them nodded their heads into chickens pecking rice, and no longer hesitated at the moment, and said to Lao Tang: "Brother is very loved, if the younger brother refuses again, he doesn't know what to do, so he will follow his brother." ”

Old Tang was overjoyed, that night at the celebration banquet announced that Liu Qing was promoted to the city's soldiers and horses, all the people at the banquet, listened to all came to congratulate, called the eunuch, Liu Qing humbly thanked, the banquet, the old Tang was not less interested, and immediately wrote a good news recital, played to Beijing.

·····································

"Brother, brother, there's a small garden in this backyard." Han Xiaoniang walked around in the new house, and she was curious about everything she saw.

"Girl, in the future, we will be called Xianggong, we are also superior people now, don't break the rules." Hou San changed into a new dress and said in an old-fashioned manner.

Liu Jing smiled dumbly: "Come on, just take care of the two of them, you still take it seriously, girl, call my brother in the future, don't listen to him." ”

"Hmph" Xiao Niang stuck out her tongue at Hou San and continued to inspect her territory.

"If the prime minister suspects that there is no manpower, how about the small one go back to Crouching Tiger Mountain, and call a few good men for you." Hou San made an idea on the side.

"This makes, but we have to wait a few days before going, we don't have anyone and no venue now, even if we recruit people, there is nowhere to arrange, we have to find a way to get our own territory first."

As he was talking, someone knocked on the door outside, Hou San went, and came to report later: "There is a scholar outside, saying that he is going to defect, but he will not see the public." ”

Liu Jing called to the living room, saw that it was a down-and-out scholar in his forties, saluted and sat down, and learned during the conversation that the old scholar's surname was Wang, and his ancestral home was a Wang family shop on the outskirts of the city.

"Okay, this is the new prison house, it is the time of lack of people, Mr. is here to be said to be a charcoal in the snow, if you don't dislike it, just make a document first, the moon is consistent, what does Mr. think."

Lao Wang hurriedly responded, and Liu Jing saw that he was a local, so he told him about his troubles and asked about the land.

Mr. Wang's new arrival, eager to make meritorious service, listened to the busy said: "The student lives in the south of the city Wangjiadian, the county is very familiar with the county, the southwest of the city Artemisia Mountain, there is a thunder temple, a big place, and has jurisdiction over hundreds of acres of river beach wasteland, a few years ago the presiding Taoist because he wanted to go to Beijing to find a senior brother, he sold the property to the Puzhao Temple on the mountain, now it is deserted, no one takes care of it.

"Okay" Liu Jing had an idea in his heart, and asked Mr. Wang to move the courtesy, and lived in the front yard wing, let Hou San go to buy a brocade box, go to the bedroom to take out the lotus glass incense burner that Taobao bought before coming, carefully wrap it, put it into the brocade box, the next day, invited Tang County Ling, all wore casual clothes, Hou San held the brocade box, and came to Puzhao Temple together.

Everyone climbed the stairs and came to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the county order first offered incense to the bronze statue of Sakyamuni gilded sitting, and the acquaintance identified himself, and after a while, the acquaintance received the host in person, and invited the abbot to use tea.

The abbot invited everyone to have tea, and asked: "The two distinguished guests are here, presumably there are some mundane things, I don't know if I need the old man to help me."

Lao Tang said: "There are some mundane things, just need the help of the great monk, my brother is the new supervisor of the city's soldiers and horses, but it is a place where there is no hoarding of grain and training, I heard that your temple has a house in the south of the artemisia, and it is not used, and I want to borrow one." ”

Before the abbot could speak, the prison first changed his face and said: "There are many monks in the temple, and the Thunder Temple is about to be used as a lower courtyard, but there has been a lot of trouble with chores recently, so I have no time to pay attention to it. ”

"In this way, then Liu is not difficult to force, but I brought an object today, I have not known the authenticity since I got it, I brought it today, I want to ask the monk to identify it, to see if it is true or false." After speaking, Hou San carefully placed the brocade box on a few pieces.
