Chapter 139: Brothers in Trouble
The officials had no choice but to let go of Fang Jinzhi and the others, so they surrounded Wu Song, and wanted to ask Wu Song, what happened to him in Zhangjiabao, and why were there rumors that he was dead?
Where did Wu Song have time to explain these things to them at this moment, and asked directly: "I'll talk about these things later, is Pan Jinlian still in the yamen?" β
Liu Quandao: "It's gone." The person from Zhangjiabao www.biquge.info has a warrant from Lord Xu of Zhixian County, and has already taken her and Huang Zhushu away! β
Wu Song knew that he was finally late. Busy asked: "How long have you been gone?" β
Liu Quandao: "It's been some time, I'm afraid I'm going to Zhangjiabao at this time!" β
Wu Song's face changed, and he said, "I'll come when I go!" Then he strode out of the yamen.
However, as soon as he left the yamen, he saw that the servants of the Zhang family and the private soldiers of the nursing home had already rushed over to the county government from the side of the street. Armed with knives and other weapons, they ran rampant on the streets of Qinghe County.
Wu Song hurriedly lowered his head and walked quickly into an alley next to the yamen, avoiding the sight of these minions and private soldiers, and strode towards Xiahe Street.
Lower River Street.
Under the setting sun, Wu Dalang's ugly face was dyed red by the sun, making it even uglier. However, at this moment, this ugly face is full of joy and happiness.
Today's business is very good. After selling the cooking cakes for a day, the last bit of raw materials in the burden was also sold out, and he made a lot of copper money, Wu Dalang was naturally happy.
Some neighbors said: "Wu Dalang, your younger brother Wu Song is now the head of the yamen, not only the scenery, but also a lot of money, why are you still working so hard?" β
Wu Dalang said with a smile while cleaning up the stall: "To borrow your auspicious words, my younger brother is on an errand in the Yamen, and he is indeed a glorious ancestor." But I know my brother best, he is a straight man, never greedy for black money, he gets up early and works in the dark, and he works harder than me! If I can move, I can earn as much as I can, so that I can reduce the burden on my brother! β
The neighbor said: "What do you say to lighten the burden on my brother." Wu Dalang, I see that you make more money, and it is only serious to marry yourself a daughter-in-law first! β
Wu Dalang smiled: "My ghost look, whose daughter is willing to marry?" This life is a single. It's my brother, and the neighbors have also seen it, that's a talent, everyone takes care of it, there are good daughters, tell my brother about the matchmaker! β
The neighbor said: "Wu Dalang, don't be weird, your brother is really not like you, he looks really handsome, why is it difficult to find a good daughter?" I'm just afraid that he has a high vision and refuses to give in! β
Wu Dalang was full of confidence and said with a smile: "Sue the neighbors, my younger brother has a strong temper, but there is a good thing, he listens to my brother's words." We are all from poor families, what does he pick? But there is a daughter of a good family, and if he says it, he won't pick it! β
The neighbor said: "Yes, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." Look, isn't that your brother here? Ah, why is your brother covered in blood, could it be that he went to catch a very powerful thief? β
When Wu Dalang heard his younger brother's arrival, he was overjoyed, looked up, and saw Wu Song covered in blood, and suddenly he was extremely worried, and greeted him, saying, "Erlang, you γγγγγγ What's wrong with you? Is it badly hurt? Have you gone to see a doctor? Does it matter? β
When Wu Song saw his brother, a stone fell to the ground in his heart.
He knew that now that Xu En, the magistrate of the county, had succumbed to Zhao Er and Zhang Dahu, he had offended both Zhao Er and Zhang Dahu, and Xu En would no longer be able to shelter him. He is in Qinghe County and can no longer gain a foothold.
He was concerned about Pan Jinlian's safety, and learned that Pan Jinlian might have been sent to Zhangjiabao at this time, so he was determined to rescue her.
But at the same time, he couldn't let go of his brother in his heart, and what he was most afraid of was that Zhao Er and Zhang Dahu couldn't find him, so they took out their anger at his brother Wu Dalang.
At this time, seeing that his brother was still safe and sound, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly said to Wu Dalang: "Brother, I'm fine, I just fought against some bad people, and the blood stains on this body are someone else's." Come home with me, I've got something to tell you!" β
Wu Dalang suddenly knew that the matter was urgent, so he hurriedly picked up the burden and followed Wu Song. When the neighbors saw his two brothers leave in a hurry, they thought that Wu Song, as a yamen catcher, was most famous for his bravery, and he must have been injured when he caught the thief, and there were only blood stains on his body, but they were not suspicious.
When the brothers walked to a secluded place, Wu Song hurriedly said to Wu Dalang: "Brother, did you make some money selling cooking cakes today?" β
Wu Dalang said: "I have made a lot of money." Are you anxious to use it? Take it all! β
Wu Song said: "I don't want to use money. Brother, listen to me, you have lost the burden of cooking bread, take this money, and hurry out of the city with me. Let's find a place to hide! β
Only then did Wu Dalang know that his younger brother had indeed encountered a big event, and he hurriedly said, "Erlang, what happened?" β
Wu Song said: "I will tell you this slowly in the future." Let's go! β
Wu Dalang hurriedly threw away the burden of cooking cakes according to his words, put all the money he earned today into his arms, and followed Wu Song away, but said, "We still have silver at homeγγγγγγ β
Wu Song pondered that if the minions chased by the Zhang Mansion knew that he had just left the yamen, they would inevitably chase him and his brother Wu Dalang to the residence again, so he said: "We don't have time to go home, we just want to get out of the city as soon as possible!" β
He took his brother and hurriedly walked to the back gate of the county seat.
He and the minions of Zhangfu entered the city from the front gate, and at this time, the soldiers guarding the front gate must have known that he had caused a big disaster in Zhangjiabao, and the envoy of the Prime Minister and Zhang Dahu would arrest him, and Xu En, the magistrate of the county, could no longer protect him. If he goes through the front door again, he is afraid that he will not be able to get out of the city. Hopefully, the defenders at the back door haven't gotten the word that they'll let him get out with his brother.
He took his brother and strode away. After only a few steps, I found that my brother was trotting all the way, but he was still far behind. It's just that Wu Dalang is too much shorter than him, and his legs are thick and short, how can he keep up with him.
Wu Song said gently: "Brother, I'll help you!" Then he took his brother on his shoulders and strode forward.
Wu Dalang was ashamed in his heart, but he also knew that the situation must be very urgent at this time, and he was afraid that he would affect his younger brother, so he hurriedly said: "Erlang, what happened?" If it's really urgent, it's better for you to go alone and I'll stay. I am a crippled man, and I have no quarrel with the world, and they will not come to embarrass me! β
Wu Song said: "Brother, brother is not good, it is the big bully of Qinghe County who offended, they don't know how to make sense, if they can't catch me, they will inevitably be embarrassed for my brother." Don't say more, come out of town with me first! β
Wu Dalang had no choice but to let his younger brother carry him. Occasionally, someone on the side of the road met the two brothers, and when they saw Wu Song tall and big, carrying the short Wu Dalang forward, he looked very funny, and he couldn't help but want to laugh. But seeing Wu Song's fierce and vicious expression, he didn't dare to say nonsense.
