Chapter 4: Dong Ping, the Twin Gun Commander (2)
"Colleagues, there is an order from above, there are bandits in Liangshan nearby, and they are asked to strengthen their vigilance in all places, and if possible, send troops to exterminate them, and the court will be rewarded, I don't know what you think of this matter." Cheng Wanli waited for everyone to sit down, and immediately spoke.
"Don't worry, sir! But if a thief comes, he will never return. I saw a man with a sturdy figure and a handsome face standing up and saying loudly.
"Good! With Dong Dujian here, the official is relieved a lot, and you can speak freely if you have any suggestions. Cheng Wanli nodded with satisfaction and said.
"It turns out that this is Dong Ping." Situ Changfeng said secretly to himself, and couldn't help but secretly look at it a few times, secretly paying attention.
"It's all up to the adults!" The rest of the people bowed their hands in a proper manner.
"That's good! From now on, we will investigate closely, and we should also pay attention to strangers in the city to prevent thieves from mixing in. Cheng Wanli was not polite and commanded everyone.
"Obey your lordship's orders!" Everyone stood up and answered.
Cheng Wanli also asked people to inform the merchants and wealthy families in the city, and reported them immediately as soon as they found out, and then left Situ Changfeng and Dong Ping.
"It is reported that the bandits in Liangshan are becoming more and more rampant, and there is a faint intention to attack the surrounding cities, so Dong Dujian must pay attention." Cheng Wanli said solemnly.
In the Song Dynasty, the Chinese book, the privy council, and the three divisions were divided into three major affairs: government, military, and finance, and the local government was also separated.
Although the official position is one level higher, it should not be able to control Dong Ping, and it is right to discuss in case of trouble, not to mention that the war itself is also responsible for the soldiers and horses, but the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light military force, coupled with Confucianism's vigorous suppression, after so many years, it has formed a habit that military generals obey the orders of civilian officials.
In the past, Situ Changfeng only learned about this situation, but now he sees Cheng Wanli ordering Dong Ping as a matter of course, and Dong Ping's attitude is also very low, just like facing his direct boss, he only knows
"Remember!" Dong Pingfu got up again and said.
"Now the imperial court hates thieves everywhere, Lord Tong was ordered to suppress bandits everywhere, and this official is deeply favored by Lord Tong, if Dong Dujian can make a meritorious contribution and let this official have a light on his face, this official will definitely ask for credit for you." Cheng Wanli eased his face and said gently.
"Xiaguan will not let your lord down!" Dong Ping was slightly excited, and said in a firm tone.
"Very good, as long as it is a bandit, this official will definitely support it, Situ has been with Dong Dujian recently, if you have any needs, try your best to meet them." Cheng Wanli turned his head and said to Situ Changfeng again.
Compared with Dong Ping, his attitude towards Situ Changfeng is obviously more friendly, and his tone is generally discussed.
"Xiaguan understands that he will not disappoint you, my lord." Situ Changfeng nodded and replied, adhering to the principle of saying more and making more mistakes, and there was no extra word.
…………
"Dong Dujian has something on his mind?" Leaving the Taishou Mansion, Situ Changfeng saw that Dong Ping's soul was not guarded, so he asked.
"It's getting close to noon, why don't Dong do the east and invite Situ Changshi to have a light meal? Can I appreciate the long history? Dong Ping came back to his senses, looked up at the sky, and spoke.
"I want it!" Of course, Situ Changfeng will not refuse, and he is worried that he will not have a chance to contact.
The two looked for a restaurant and found a private room by the window, Dong Ping ordered wine and food, and when Xiao Er sent the wine, he personally poured two glasses, raised the wine glass and said: "It's rare to eat wine with Changshi, Dong Mou did it first as a respect." ”
"Dong Dujian is polite, this is an honor!" Situ Changfeng smiled and raised his wine glass to accompany him.
"Dong said bluntly, I feel that Situ Changshi is not like an ordinary civil official, and looks down on me and other martial artists?" Dong Ping asked happily.
"Dong Dujian doesn't know, he loves to practice martial arts since he was a child, but he has no famous teacher to teach, so he has to learn literature, so he has always admired people with real skills, and Dong Dujian is both civil and military, which is even more remarkable." Situ Changfeng had already thought about answering like this, and said with a smile.
"Haha! Situ Changshi has won the award, if you are interested in learning another day! Dong Ping said with a happy smile.
"In this way, it is a word, Dong Dujian can not hesitate to give advice, the capital eunuch is old, and he can be called Situ or Changfeng in the next voice." Situ Changfeng hit the snake with the stick and immediately settled down.
"Good! Dong is straightforward, so you're welcome, Situ, you can just call Dong by his name, you don't have to be so polite as the capital prisoner. Dong Ping patted his thigh lightly and raised his voice with satisfaction.
"I saw Brother Dong in the Taishou Mansion just now that I seem to have something on my mind, so it's better to say it, and I'll help you with a detailed one." Seeing that Dong Ping was straightforward, Situ Changfeng couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly asked.
I don't know the breakthrough in this task, but Dong Ping intends to make friends, of course I am very happy.
"Alas!" As soon as Dong Ping mentioned this, he frowned, sighed, and took a glass of stuffy wine.
Situ Changfeng didn't ask, just waited quietly, knowing that people who had something on their minds at this time liked to talk to someone.
"Situ didn't know that Dong fell in love with Cheng Xue, the only daughter of Taishou." Dong Ping said with a frown, and said a word, as if he didn't know how to continue.
Situ Changfeng took over and said: "Brother Dong is a talent, and he is both civil and military, I think Cheng Taishou will be very satisfied with a good son-in-law!" ”
"Situ didn't know, he was too conservative and light on martial arts, and Dong tried twice, but he was rejected." Dong Ping said with a wry smile.
"Brother Dong doesn't have to be discouraged, you are dignified, and you don't like it, there is another reason, the so-called vote for what you like, first let Taishou have a good impression, and with Brother Dong's ability, it will naturally come naturally." Situ Changfeng persuaded.
"Situ Gao's view, it's like opening the dark clouds and seeing the blue sky, which makes people suddenly open." Dong Ping's eyes lit up and said excitedly.
"Brother Dong is just a fan of the authorities, and he can figure it out slowly if he thinks about it." The corners of Situ Changfeng's mouth twitched, such a simple truth, many people can think of it, it seems that this Dong Ping's emotional intelligence is not high.
"But this Cheng Taishou loves calligraphy, although Dong also understands a little, but he can't get into everyone's eyes, how can this be good?" Dong Ping was happy and said dejectedly.
"Brother Dong doesn't have to worry, this matter is easy, I have a copy of Cai Yong, Cai Bojiao's flying white body, which can be given to Brother Dong." Situ Changfeng's mind changed, so he said with difficulty.
"Thank you, thank you Situ! You are really Dong's savior, so take it as a dowry. When Dong Ping heard this, he excitedly took Situ Changfeng's hand and said.
"Brother Dong, don't worry! If you take it as a dowry, I'm afraid Taishou will still refuse! Situ Changfeng hurriedly persuaded.
"Why is that?" Dong Ping asked suspiciously.
"Literati have their own style and bones, and my brother takes it as a dowry, so I am afraid that he will not like it." Situ Changfeng asked Dong Ping to sit down and explained to him.
