Ximenqing ignored Dong Ping's frowning eyes on the side, and stepped forward to help Cheng Wanli: "With a lot of effort, why worry about it, since Cheng Xianggong has arrived, I still have a dispatch to do, so I will leave, don't blame Xianggong." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Cheng Wanli and Dong Ping were both stunned, they didn't expect Ximen Qing to say such a thing, Dong Ping not only wondered: "Isn't this guy trying to get away with it?" Pretending not to return the gift is actually planning for greater good. He guessed like this, but he hit Ximenqing's mind, but what kind of character Ximenqing was, how could it be revealed at this time.

Cheng Wanli took a few steps and hurriedly said: "Engong stay, please leave your name, so that I can repay it in the future, I see that several of them are going to Gaotang Prefecture, it is better to have a glass of wine and talk about my gratitude." ”

"As an official, although I am not in the state capital, but it is also my duty to arrest the thief, and it is also my generation's request to draw a knife to help when I see injustice, as for the grace to repay, but it is not should, Cheng Guanren wants me to wait for it, but the wine is not necessary, if there is a goodbye, I will invite Cheng Xianggong to have a drink, and then Cheng Xianggong will not dislike my identity." Ximen Qing laughed, turned around and left, just took three steps, and turned back again.

Dong Ping sneered: "I thought you were really a gentleman, and you didn't want to go back to what to do?" Don't you have something to ask my family to be a father-in-law? ”

"Dong Ping must not be rude." Cheng Wanli scolded, but he also wondered if Ximenqing had something to ask for, if he asked for an official position or wealth, he might as well agree to him, and he would have repaid him for this favor, but looking at Ximenqing's face, he was not such a person.

Ximen Qing arched his hand and said, "There is nothing else." Pointing to the bandits kneeling on the ground, "These bandits were supposed to be escorted to the state capital, but there are few of us, and in order to prevent accidents on the road, I also asked Cheng Xianggong to do it for me." There are also the heads of these two thieves, a few of us are in a hurry, the time is quite urgent, and they will all be handed over to Cheng Xianggong as soon as they are fired. ”

After saying that, he arched his hand again, walked in front of Dong Ping, and whispered, "The gentleman is frank, the villain is often a relative, and please keep this official in mind." Although he said it softly, the people around him heard it clearly, Dong Ping's face was a little ugly for a while, this was clearly scolding himself for being a villain, a mere errand official, how dare he be so rude.

He didn't speak, and he didn't dare to turn his face.

Cheng Wanli really doesn't understand at this time, just don't want to repay yourself, how can he give himself the credit for killing the thief, is it possible that this person really doesn't seek fame and fortune?

He thinks like this, it's bad, Ximen Qing is putting a long line to catch big fish, he remembers that in the Water Margin, Cheng Wanli will be promoted to the governor of Dongping Mansion in a few years, and if he leaves this favor at that time, can't he maximize the benefits? Now Cheng Wanli's return is just some goods, at most he will find an errand in Gaotang Prefecture, these are not what Ximenqing wants, or Ximenqing can't look down on at all, his foundation is in Yanggu, but not Gaotang Prefecture.

When Cheng Wanli became the governor of Dongping Mansion, he found a suitable time to come to the door, with the grace of saving his life, plus such a credit, he was afraid that he would not give himself a fortune? The corners of Ximenqing's mouth were hooked, ignoring the puzzled gazes of others, and he raised his feet and left.

Cheng Wan'er was resting in the car, listening to Ximenqing's leaving, she hurriedly went out of the car, and wanted to go over to thank her in person, but in front of everyone's eyes, there is a difference between men and women, although it is a life-saving grace, she can't say anything, she can only say: "Engong's life's grace, Wan'er dare not or forget, please leave a high surname, so that I can repay it in the future." ”

Ximenqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Why do you have to know each other when you meet, Miss Cheng has said goodbye." ”

Cheng Wan'er was only stunned for a moment, Ximenqing and the others had already walked away, looking back at their father, Cheng Wanli knew what his daughter meant, he was thinking about whether to catch up, but was stopped by Dong Ping, who was quite thoughtful, "Xianggong, this person is afraid that he really doesn't want fame and fortune, we have a military order, or go back to Gaotang Prefecture, what the person said just now is that if there is a chance, when you can see him again, it is not too late for Xianggong to thank him again." ”

Cheng Wanli pinched his beard and said in his heart: "This person is also going to the direction of Gaotang Prefecture, and when he arrives in the state capital, he is looking for him." "Nodding his head and saying, "In this way, I will trouble Dong Yuhou to escort this thief back to the city, and not let one of them escape." ＇

Cheng Wan'er listened to it, and was angry in her heart, Ximenqing was his life-saving benefactor, such a great favor, even if she didn't promise herself, she should also prepare a generous gift, how could she let Ximenqing leave empty-handed?

glanced at Dong Ping, and complained in his heart: "It's all this rudeness and collision with the benefactor, otherwise how could he leave in such a hurry?" Now I don't allow my father to chase after him, it's really hateful.

Why do you have to know each other? Thinking of Ximenqing's fishing on the boat that day, Cheng Wan'er forgot her grief for a while, and secretly guessed what kind of character Ximenqing was, could it be that she was really a hermit in the mountains? But why did he do an official errand?

……………………

"How can my brother not thank that Cheng Guanren? Even if you don't thank him, how can you give the credit away. Jiao Ting didn't understand Ximenqing's thoughts, he was a straight gut again, and couldn't help asking.

"I also said just now, when the road is uneven, we shouldn't ask for help, and we are all errand servants passing by, even if we send those thieves to the government, we will only get a few pennies in reward, it is better to give people a happy life." Ximenqing made up his own rhetoric and said it slowly.

When Ji Sheng and the others heard this, they all said that Ximenqing was a good man, but Fu Ping smiled and said nothing, he knew that Ximenqing would never be so simple, but he couldn't think of Ximenqing's purpose for doing this for a while, so he had to laugh and say nothing, and slowly figured it out in his heart.

The two officials who accompanied him didn't dare to say much about this, they were timid when they killed the thief, and they only accompanied Fu Ping to hide behind, and one of them said: "Ximen Dutou, there is a post station further ahead, why don't we rent a few fast horses and hurry up for some time?" The weather is cold, and if there is heavy snowfall, we will delay the trip. ”

Ximenqing heard that what they said was reasonable, so he said: "It's okay, let's go to the front post station to have a look, fight for a long time, and eat a glass of wine to relieve fatigue." By the way, change into clean clothes. ”

The post station near the left of Gaotang Prefecture is still good, but most of them are high-ranking officials and magnates, similar to Ximenqing, who don't even have official bodies, so they can only send some silver in, get a few side rooms, change into clean clothes, and eat a few glasses of wine, Ximenqing called the veterans serving in the post station and asked: "I don't know if you have any free horses here, I will rent a few." ”

The veteran saw that Ximenqing was rich and noble, and he was quite prestigious, so he didn't dare to provoke him, so he only said: "Official, there is a shortage of horses in our post station, and all the people who come and go are powerful people, and there are no extra horses for you." ”

Since there is no such thing, Ximenqing does not force it, after running out of wine and rice, he went to Gaotang Prefecture, less than half a mile, only to see far away from the depths of the forest, a cluster of people and horses rushed up, among this group of people, holding an official......
