"My family's Erlang? He's back? Yun Niang asked in surprise.

"Oh, you stupid girl, you don't even know such a big thing!"

Wang Po was even more excited than Yun Niang, and shouted with an exaggerated face: "Your Erlang killed the white-fronted tiger on Jingyang Gang, and now he is surrounded by the people to praise the street, I heard that he is coming this way, you hurry up and go out to have a look!" ”

Hearing Wang Po's words, Yun Niang walked out of the door quickly with half surprise and half joy, only to see a group of people walking towards this side in the distance.

Li Nan sat on the sedan chair and looked far away, and saw the little sister-in-law standing outside the door waiting for him, so he hurriedly instructed the villagers to stop the two sedan chairs, and took Pang Qiuxia's little hand and walked to the front of the house.

Looking at Yun Niang's small melon seed face full of tears of surprise, Li Nan hurriedly bowed down and said, "Sister-in-law, Erlang has been out for a long time, and you are worried!" ”

"Uncle, please get up quickly, just come back!"

Yun Niang saw that it was really Li Nan who came back, and a sense of happiness suddenly rose in her heart, and she hurriedly supported her hands.

I was about to ask about Li Nan's big worm, but when Yun Niang raised her eyes and saw the beautiful little lady beside Li Nan, her heart didn't feel tight.

"Erlang, who is this?"

"Hehehe." Li Nan pulled Pang Qiuxia and introduced with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I have been going out to do errands these days, and I happened to meet this little lady, she has been lonely since she was a child, and the two of us are also in love." So I'll bring it back for you and my brother to see, and if you approve of it, I'll marry her." ”

Yun Niang looked at the two people standing side by side in front of her, her uncle was tall and strong, handsome, and heroic, the little lady was picturesque, delicate and lovely, she was really a pair of beautiful people, and then thought about her bedridden official, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart to make people.

Li Nan still wanted to go in to see his terminally ill brother, but the villagers who followed him said: "Li Erlang, now that the county magistrate has heard about this, he is still waiting for us to go, do you think we should go to the county government first?" ”

In this Yanggu County, the magistrate is the emperor of the soil, Li Nan didn't dare to slack off easily, and hurriedly said to Pang Qiuxia: "You follow your sister-in-law into the house to rest first, and I will go to the county government to find out what happened and come back." ”

Pang Qiuxia is the mother of her father's decision and officially promised to Li Nan, and at this time she has regarded him as her own official, Pang Qiuxia, who was originally a little short-tempered, responded meekly: "Erlang, you go and get busy, I'll get close to my sister-in-law first." ”

Seeing the changes in Pang Qiuxia, Li Nan couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, originally he was worried that he would not be able to convince this undoubtedly superb little lady, but he didn't expect that the women of the Song Dynasty were influenced and influenced by the traditional concepts of society, and they still maintained the psychology of marrying with their husbands.

After saying goodbye to his sister-in-law and Pang Qiuxia, Li Nan sat in a sedan chair, surrounded by many people, and went straight to the county government like a big-name star.

The charming woman standing at the window on the second floor of another small building, looking at Li Nan's back with burning eyes, her mind was full of bright pink reverie, and the protagonists were naturally the tiger hero Li Nan and herself.

"Lady, I'm back, what are you looking at?"

Hearing these sinister words, all the fantasies in the beautiful woman's mind vanished, and she said listlessly: "I'm looking at the tiger hero Li Erlang." ”

It was a man with a short figure who spoke, he stood next to the beautiful woman and was a little shorter, and after standing on tiptoe to see the queue downstairs that had not yet finished walking, he sighed: "Li Jiaerlang, he is a good person!" Not only does he take care of his seriously ill brother, but he is also said to be very good to his fellow villagers and neighbors. ”

-----------------

Li Nan followed everyone to the county office, and there were already a few idlers in front of the ya, spitting loudly and preaching Li Nan's story of fighting the tiger, as if he had seen it himself.

"It is said that Li Erlang kicked away the white-fronted tiger with a kick and broke four or five trees with a punch......"

When Li Nan heard a few words, he immediately blushed a little, and hurriedly walked into the county office with a few villagers carrying tigers.

Hu Weiben, the parent official of Yanggu County, was a talented son who passed the imperial examination during the Zhezong period, and he also had a revenge to protect the country and love the people.

Helplessly, after Song Huizong Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he began to reuse the traitor Cai Jing and others, coupled with the continuous struggle between the old and new parties, Hu Zhixian, who had no political resources, also extinguished his ambitions, just to make more money in office.

At this time, Hu Zhixian looked at Li Nan's appearance and bearing, and saw the huge white-fronted tiger in front of the hall, and said secretly in his heart: "I don't want me to have such a hero in Yanggu County." ”

Hu Zhixian stepped in front of Li Nan and asked, "There is nothing special about your appearance, can you tell me how you beat this big worm?" ”

Li Nan briefly talked about the process of fighting the tiger, and then took out the shell gun on his waist, anyway, no one recognized this thing, and opened the river: "This is my family's ancestral secret weapon, and I can only kill this big insect with this thing." ”

"Oh?" Hu Zhixian asked curiously, "Can you give me a look?" ”

The insurance behind the gun had already been closed, so Li Nan was not worried that others could use it, and calmly handed the pistol to Hu Zhixian.

Hu Weinai is a civil official, and he doesn't have much interest in this kind of blade secret weapon, but he played with it out of curiosity.

As soon as he returned the barge gun to Li Nan, someone in the hall was shocked: "Li Erlang, you are not dead?" ”

Li Nan looked at the person who spoke, it turned out to be a jailer he knew, named Chen You, but he had been transferred to the treasury a month earlier.

Although Hu Zhixian didn't recognize the person who spoke, he recognized the official clothes on his body, and immediately asked suspiciously: "Do you recognize this hero who fought tigers?" ”

Chen You took a few steps forward and said respectfully: "Back to Xianggong, this person is my Yanggu County jailer, and when the prison was robbed three days ago, he was the person on duty. ”

"What!" When Hu Zhixian heard this, his face immediately changed.

You must know that the Yanggu County prison was robbed a few days ago, not only all the prisoners in the prison were lost, but even the hundreds of Xiang soldiers who were responsible for escorting Manichaean felons, as well as the township soldiers in the county, also disappeared without a trace.

At this time, hearing that Li Nan was the jailer guarding the cell at that time, Hu Zhixian didn't care about the large number of people here, and hurriedly asked: "Li Nan, what was the situation that day, why did hundreds of people disappear without a trace, and only you came back?" ”

"I was indeed on duty in the prison with Fan Saburo that day, but unexpectedly, a large number of Manichaean followers robbed the prison at night, and my partner Fan Saburo was killed immediately. Just as I was desperately resisting, a large number of Xiang troops and village soldiers came to help, and the Manichaeans fled eastward with all the prisoners in their panic. Because the villain was lost in the night, he turned back, and he didn't want to encounter big insects on the road, so he had today's thing. ”

These words are a rhetoric that Li Nan came up with after studying for a long time, after all, hundreds of people have disappeared, which is really a bit difficult to explain, but he has already been prepared, in case Hu Zhixian does not approve of convicting himself, then rely on the shell gun in his hand to kill.

Fortunately, Hu Zhixian was not worried about the lives of those soldiers and prisoners, he just needed an explanation that could be explained to his superiors.

After thinking for a while, Hu Zhixian said to himself: "Fleeing all the way to the east, could it be that these Manichaeans are preparing to flee from the sea?" ”

Li Nan, who was still a little worried, heard Hu Zhixian's speculation, and hurriedly said: "My lord is right, the commander of the Xiang army said the same thing on the road!" ”

If they really fled to the sea, then no one knew about life and death, and Hu Zhixian, who finally had witnesses and reasons, was a lot easier.

immediately smiled: "I didn't expect you to be not only a hero who fights tigers, but also a loyal person, but I look at your skills, being a jailer is indeed a bit condescending, and it just so happens that there is a shortage in this county, so it's up to you to do it!" ”

Not only did the dereliction of duty be concealed, but also mixed up with a position as the head of the capital, Li Nan couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, it seemed that he finally had a foothold.

Li Nan immediately thanked and said: "If you are lifted by grace, the villain will be blessed for life!" ”

Don't underestimate the head of this county, it is also an important position second only to the county lieutenant, and the most important thing is that after becoming the head of the capital, the township soldiers who have lost all the losses in Yanggu County will be formed by Li Nan, which is very helpful for Li Nan who wants to do a career in the Great Song Dynasty.
