Wu Song got up in the morning and finished washing. I ate enough under the care of my brother and sister-in-law. I went to the county office. The public named Xie Lian, a forty-year-old talent with a light mirror, saw Wu Song and quietly said to Wu Song: "Why did Dutou come so early, as long as the husband and wife have something, they can find you, and they know it, so you don't need to come so early every day." Save so many troubles out of thin air. ”

Wu Song hurriedly said: "My brother has a heart." After that, he stuffed a few taels of broken silver.

Xie Lian was busy and humbly said: "What are you doing, brother, I look down on my brother." “

Wu Song was so busy that he said again: "Brother Hugh should be humble, just take it to eat and drink, if you don't accept it, you really look down on your brother." ”

Xie Lian humbly conceded a few times, then put on the silver and whispered: "The other leaders all greeted me and explained to a caring little brother, who never came every day. The old men will not blame. “

Wu Song smiled again and said, "My brother took care of it." Psychologically, he thought: "Ma, a big little official, knows the way to make money, no wonder later generations talk about the Qing prefect for three years, 100,000 snowflakes of silver." ”

Wu Song entered his office, drank some tea, and then thought, "What about my brother's problem?" Do you want to get some aphrodisiacs for my brother to eat, so that my brother and sister-in-law can be so happy. He patted his head again and said, "Damn, it's really hard for me to die" Forget it, it's better to go to a doctor and ask here. Then Zhao Sun Li asked, "Do you know who the best doctor in this county is?" “

Sun Li said: "The villain heard that Dr. Zhang in the west of the city is a good gentleman who has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate, and they all say that he has the medical skills to bring the dead back to life."

Then Wu Song said: "Take me to him, I have something to ask him." ”

Wu Song and I, Sun Li, were about to go to find that doctor. found that Xu Ming came over and said, "Brother Dutou is going out, or what." Xianggong has something to look for you. Let you come with me right away."

Wu Song had to ask where Dr. Zhang lived, and then followed Xu Ming to see the county order. The prefectural magistrate is reviewing the official documents in the study. Wu Song hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Xu Han said: "I thought about it all night, and I think you are right, as a local parent official, he must not tolerate these gangsters harming the people in a prosperous world." You come with me. I'll give you troops now. “

Wu Song followed the county order and came to the county lieutenant's school field, and the county lieutenant Cao was standing on the platform, and when he saw the county order coming, he immediately came over and said: "My lord, my subordinates have prepared a total of sixty soldiers and horses for you, including twenty crossbowmen, twenty sword and axe men, and twenty pikemen, please review them." After hearing this, the magistrate said: "Lord Cao is hard" and then went to the stage.

Sixty sergeants fell to their knees in confusion, some said: "See the big master", and some said: "The little one see the county master." ”--------

Wu Song secretly laughed and scolded in his heart: "Damn, what kind of bird soldier, standing like that bird male, seeing Shangguan actually has more than a dozen names, if you can have combat effectiveness on the battlefield, it will really be a hell." "But seeing that the county order is calm and quiet, I don't know if it's strange or not, or if I think the army is like this.

Xu Han said loudly: "This county sent you and other soldiers to go to suppress the bandits, and after the matter is completed, this official will definitely have a heavy reward." He looked at Wu Song again and said, "Where is Wu Song, the head of the infantry army?" Stand up."

Wu Song shouted loudly: "The villain is here" and stepped forward quickly.

The county order said: "You wait for everyone to see Wudutou"

The underground gang said in a mess: "I've seen Wudutou." “

The county order said: "Wudutou, the county has already informed the treasury official, but if you want anything, just go and get it, when to leave, inform the official, and the official will be strong for you." “

Wu Song said: "The villain understands"

The county commander said: "Xu Ming, you follow the head of Wudu and let him send it." Go and destroy the thief."

Xu Ming hurriedly said: "The villain understands"

The county magistrate looked at the county lieutenant Cao Gang again, and said, "I'll hand it over to Wu Song, you go back to the house with me," and then went back to the county office.

Wu Song looked at this group of ruffians, had a headache, stood on the point and arched his hand: "Go down Wu Song again, Lord Mengxian has been promoted to the head of the infantry army, and you brothers are also colleagues, brothers sit down!" Let's chat," he said, and did it on the edge of the platform. Then he said to Xu Ming: "You go to repay the favor, buy more wine and meat, and let the brothers have a full meal first." He pulled Xu Ming and confessed: Go to my house to find my brother to get money so that he can buy wine and meat."

Then he said to the sixty soldiers, "Sit down, brothers, and sit down toward me, and come nearer, or you will not be given meat and wine at noon." “

Everyone laughed and sat down close to Wu Song.

Wu Song pointed to the man next to him and said, "What is your name, how old are you, what is the situation at home, and what relatives do you have?" “

The man said, "Report to the old man'''''''

Wu Song interrupted and said, "Don't call me a master of everything, just call me Brother Wu Song, let me talk about me first!" My name is Wu Song, when I was a child, my parents died, and my brother Wu Dalang Wu Zhi depended on each other, because I had a lot of food when I was a child, and my brother saved his rations for me to eat. The land at home really can't support our brothers, so my brother sold two acres of land at home, bought some flour, and learned to make cakes to sell, at the beginning, I was reluctant to buy firewood, my brother often got up early to cut firewood, and then made cakes with noodles, and took the pick to sell, I remember I was only six years old at that time. My brother is twelve years old. My brother left me two biscuits every time he came back, and he fell asleep tired without eating. After a few years like this, I grew tall, and my brother didn't know if he was crushed by the picks he was bearing. He never grew taller again. My brother wouldn't let me follow him to sell bread every day, but just let me rest at home. Later, I secretly followed my brother and found that many people were bullying my brother, my brother was more honest, always kowtowed to them and apologized, and begged for money to sell cakes. And then he walked with his burden. I ran out and fought with the people who were bullying my brother, and at first I couldn't beat them, and they were covered in blood, and I didn't dare to go home until after dark, and when I got home, my brother was already tired and asleep. In this way, slowly those people will not be able to beat me. At the age of twenty-three. There was a bully bullying people, I knew it, but I hit it hard, and the bully was killed, I was very scared, so I ran outside to hide for a few years, and then someone whistled that the case, because no one testified, the government was unwilling to investigate, I came back to meet my brother, on the way back, killed the tiger on Jingyang Gang, and then the county lord raised me to do a foot army head, a few days ago because I saved a big official, that person saw that I was righteous, and gave me a thousand taels of silver. That's how I stabilized in Yanggu County. After that, Wu Song wiped his tears and said to the man: "Say it, after speaking, the person next to him will pick up and say, if you don't say it, there is no meat to eat."

The man said, "My name is Wei Gou'er, and I am twenty-three years old. My family was poor, and my father sold my sister to a landlord as a concubine, and bribed the recruiting officials to make me a soldier in the county, receiving some food every year, and barely survived. A few years ago, my father got sick and died because he couldn't afford to see a doctor, and now I'm left alone. “

The person next to him said: "My name is Wang Dafu, and my family doesn't have any money, and my father used to be a soldier in the county." Later, my father was sick and died without money to see him, so I took his shift. “

Another person: "My name is Zhang Erniu, and my family has a few acres of land, because my father was also a messenger in the county before, these old days, I asked someone to give some gifts, I took his shift, usually on duty here, on a business trip, and then go home to plant the land when it is empty, occasionally the county will reward some grain, plus some more in the field, because he does not pay taxes, he is barely able to die."

Another person said: My name is Huang Si, my grandfather used to fight with Xixia and made meritorious achievements, and he died in the battle, and my father received a mission in the county, so I took his class, received some money and food, and lived a tight life, barely getting by. Not to starve to death.

''''''''''''''''''''''''

Everyone talked about their situation one by one, except for a few people, most of them were half-full, so they didn't starve to death. They are all hard-working people, but in this way, everyone feels that their relationship with each other is slightly closer. Wu Song saw Xu Ming come back from buying wine and meat, so he ordered everyone to start cooking.

After a while, the smell of meat wafted in the barracks, and Wu Song drank and ate meat with everyone. Everyone hadn't eaten meat for a few days, and they were happily eating meat. Someone kept looking for Wu Song with a bowl to toast, and Wu Song did not refuse, and after a while, he ate more than 30 bowls of rice wine. Half in the bag. Xu Ming found a few people to carry Wu Song home.

Xu Ming then returned to the county magistrate Xu Han, Xu Han asked about the situation, and said with a smile: "The children can be taught, chatted, and had a meal of wine and meat." It's just a big deal with everyone."

Cao County's lieutenant also asked about the situation on his henchman's side and said, "Shaft, look at how you break the thief!" ”

At about eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Wu Song woke up with a dry mouth. I moved my legs and found that there were two people sleeping on my stomach next to the bed. It was Pan Jinlian and Dong'er. Maybe she heard the movement, Pan Jinlian woke up first and said: "Uncle is sober, why do you drink so much wine, so that the slave family is so worried, the slave family is afraid that the uncle is hungry and thirsty, and no one will take care of him, so he is waiting here, who knows that he actually fell asleep." He looked at Dong'er, who was asleep next to him, and smiled again: "I know that this little girl is unreliable, and sure enough, her uncle woke up and she was still sleeping." Uncle is thirsty, so the slave family will go to prepare for him." As he spoke, he ran to the main hall and poured a cup of tea, took a sip to see that the tea was cold, and said to Wu Song in the bedroom: "Uncle wait a minute, I'll go get some hot tea for my uncle to drink" After speaking, he ran to the kitchen.

Wu Song wanted to ask Dong'er to go to sleep, but he thought that he couldn't be the only one left, Pan Jinlian, so he got up from the bed gently, who knows, he woke up Dong'er.

Dong'er woke up and said, "The second master is awake, I'll get some water for the second master to drink." So he ran to the main hall. Seeing that there was just a cup of tea on the table, he poured it on the ground outside and brought it to Wu Song to drink.

At this time, Pan Jinlian came over with a kettle, and when she saw Dong'er taking cold water for Wu Song to drink, she said slightly angrily: Dead Dong'er, that's cold water, don't let your uncle eat bad stomach. You go and have them bring a warm meal to your uncle.

Pan Jinlian hurriedly said a glass of boiling water, saw Wu Song get up and went to the main hall, and hurriedly served it to Wu Song: "Uncle is drunk, drink some boiling water, maybe you can be more comfortable." “

Wu Song took the tea and said: "Sister-in-law has worked hard, go and rest, otherwise the little brother will feel uncomfortable." After thinking about it, I felt a little wrong. I drank tea

Pan Jinlian said happily: "Uncle knows that the slave family treats uncle well," and then smiled softly to herself.

Wu Song saw that someone brought food and said, "Sister-in-law, go and rest, I have someone to take care of here." Seeing that Pan Jinlian didn't leave, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, go and rest, otherwise I won't be able to eat." “

Pan Jinlian smiled at this time, and glanced at Wu Song with tenderness. I got up and went to bed

Wu Song sent Dong'er to sleep, stretched out his arms, rubbed his rumbling stomach, gobbled up his meal, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and then went back to bed and continued to sleep.
