Early the next morning, Deng Long summoned the leaders of the villages, saying that he was going to Cangzhou, and arranged for Lin Chong and Chao Gai to take care of Liangshan temporarily.
Wang Lun persuaded: "My brother is the lord of Liangshan, don't move lightly, I am also familiar with the Chai officials, or I will go to Cangzhou for my brother!" ”
Deng Long knew that Wang Lun had good intentions, but he still couldn't help but slap Wang Lun: "You throw down this bunch of things in Liangshan, who will do it, besides, strongmen are infested along the way, with your ability, can you come back alive?" It's better to stay in the cottage and stay honest. ”
Brother is the lord of Liangshan, you can't move lightly, Chao Gai died under this sentence, if he didn't know that Wang Lun had no ambition, Deng Long really wanted to cut him with a knife.
Wang Lun thought that Deng Long was afraid that he would have an accident on the road and would not let him go, and he was moved by the mess.
Lin Chong knew that he couldn't persuade Deng Long, so he said: "My brother has no intention of going, so Lin Chong won't persuade him anymore, but my brother will go to Cangzhou alone, we can't rest assured, why don't we let Lu Tizhi follow." ”
Deng Long nodded and said, "I know that my martial arts are not yet at home, so I want Mr. Gongsun and Brother Liu Tang to go with me." ”
Gongsun Sheng said with a smile: "Being able to follow my brother is a blessing for the poor road." ”
Liu Tang also assured: "Brothers, don't worry, after you come back, if my brother is missing a hair, he will ask me Liu Tang for guilt." ”
Lu Zhishen scolded with a smile: "If you get cheap, you still sell well, I originally went with my brother to the Sprinkle family." Lu Zhishen just said it, knowing in his heart that Liang Shan was still indispensable to him.
Everyone was sent to the outside of Shuibo, and Chao Gai instructed: "Brother be careful all the way, Liu Tang, you have to protect your brother." ”
Liu Tang assured everyone again, and he just had to write the military order in front of everyone.
Out of Liangshan Ten Mile Road. Deng Long said: "Brother Liu Tang, you take the gift first and go to Cangzhou!" Mr. Gongsun and I arrived shortly afterward. ”
Liu Tang nodded, agreed, and took three carriages, in case he met his peers on the road, and he might not be able to take care of Deng Long, and Deng Long was empty-handed, and there was a lot less trouble along the way, so he took the carriage away immediately.
Waiting for Liu Tang to go away, Deng Long said to Gongsun Sheng: "Let's go to Yanggu County." ”
Gongsun Sheng was puzzled: "What is my brother doing in Yanggu County, isn't this a long detour?" ”
Deng Long smiled slightly: "It's okay, Liu Tang can't go fast with the carriage, let's go to Yanggu County for a spin first." ”
Gongsun Sheng saw that Deng Long didn't say anything, so he hurried to Yanggu County. Deng Long asked passers-by and inquired about where Wang Po's teahouse was. The county seat is not big, after the passers-by pointed out the way, Deng Long thanked the passers-by, came to the Wang Po Tea House, asked for a few plates of seasonal fresh fruits, made a pot of good tea, and Gongsun Sheng had a ride, without a handful of words,
Wang Po looked to be in her fifties, with countless wrinkles on her face, wearing a gray rag skirt, and seeing that the two of them were dressed extraordinarily, she stepped forward and smiled: "Where are the two guest officers, what are you doing in Yanggu County?" ”
Deng Long smiled lightly: "We are a caravan from Huaixi, we have sold goods in Tokyo and are ready to go home." ”
Wang Po walked out and looked around, and asked, "Why are there only two of them, but what about the others?" ”
Deng Long didn't bother Wang Po, and explained: "The caravan will go back first, let's come here to rest for a while." ”
Wang Po said 'oh', and was about to inquire what Deng Long was doing, when a short man with a burden outside the door greeted Wang Po and said, "Wang Ganniang's business is really good today, do you want to help." ”
Wang Po smiled dryly: "It turned out to be Da Lang!" Your lady is still waiting for you at home. Let's go home quickly. ”
Wu Dalang smiled: "That godmother is busy first, and I'll go home first." Wu Dalang carried the burden, came to the opposite side and knocked on the door, opened the door, Pan Jinlian didn't even miss the face, and the door was closed.
Although I already knew in my heart that Wu Dalang didn't look good, but when I saw it with my own eyes, I couldn't help but want to scold my mother, his height was less than one meter two, his body width was about the same as his height, and his face was full of wrinkles, like tree bark, piled up layer after layer. The nickname of the three-inch Dinggu bark, Deng Long finally knew how it came about, but it was a pity that he couldn't see Pan Jinlian.
Deng Long asked regretfully: "Wang Ganniang, do you know the situation of the family opposite?" ”
Wang Po said: "I know a little, the official asked what to do." ”
Deng Long took out ten taels of silver and put it in front of Wang Po: "Now you can talk about it." ”
Wang Po hurriedly picked up the silver, and said with a flattering face: "Just now, Nawu Dalang was originally from Qinghe County, I don't know why, I came to live in Yanggu County three months ago, and Nawu Dalang picked up some cooking cakes to sell every day." And his fairy-like lady is at home every day and rarely goes out. ”
Deng Long nodded, took a sip of tea, and exclaimed: "Godmother is really a good tea, there is no one in my house who can compare with your craftsmanship, or you go to Huangzhou Mansion to do stewardship first, fifty taels of silver per month, how about it?" ”
Wang Po's heart seems to have blossomed, fifty taels a month, six hundred taels a year! After working for two years, that is 1,200 taels, enough for his two sons to marry a daughter-in-law and his own pension money.
It's just that this official is not joking! asked at the moment: "The official is really good at laughing, how can there be such a good thing." ”
Deng Long didn't say anything, directly took out a hundred taels of silver, and said: "This is the coil you spent on the road, as long as you arrive in Huangzhou, I will pay you two years' wages." ”
Wang Po was puzzled: "The officials don't go with the old body. ”
Deng Long said: "I still have something to do in Jeju, you set off first, and I will arrive later." ”
Wang Po hurriedly picked up the silver on the table, held it in her arms, and said, "I'll go cook a few dishes for the officials and make a pot of wine." ”
Deng Long agreed, and then didn't bother with the princess.
Gongsun Sheng sat next to him and didn't speak, and when he saw that Wang Po went to the back, he asked: "My brother came to Yanggu County just for the family opposite, but he just beat this Wang Po to Huaixi." ”
Deng Long laughed twice, did not answer Gongsun Sheng's question, but whispered: "Mr. Gongsun has not brought the guy who eats, the business is coming." ”
Gongsun Sheng patted the burden and said, "Brother has something to do, but take care of it!" ”
Deng Long beckoned Gongsun Sheng to sit forward and whispered a few words in his ear. Although I don't understand why Deng Long did this, Gongsun Sheng is also a clear person, and he knows that he shouldn't ask, and he definitely doesn't ask blindly, so he smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, everything has me, prepare something for Poor Dao tonight, and tomorrow will be foolproof." ”
After eating the food cooked by Wang Po, Deng Long thanked a letter, saying that he wanted Wang Po to go to Huangzhou, find Liang Mansion, take out the letter, and the servants in the house would know what was going on.
I gave Wang Po fifty taels of silver, I went to buy a carriage today, and I will leave early tomorrow, and Wang Po is naturally very grateful.
Declined the kindness of Wang Po to stay overnight, the two found a hotel, opened two rooms, and stayed.
After a day of traveling, Deng Long was already tired, lying on the bed for a while, and then fell asleep, while Gongsun Sheng was writing and painting in the room, I didn't know what to do, and I went out in the middle of the night, and I didn't return to the hotel until dawn.
Early the next morning, after Deng Long got up, he saw that Gongsun Sheng's room was empty, smiled, came downstairs, hastily ate some breakfast, and came to the street.
Today's Yanggu County is particularly lively, because there is a master of Taoism, Yang Laosan's mother-in-law and aunt had an emergency last night, and it will not work, and the Yang family has found several doctors in the middle of the night, all of whom are helpless, and the noise throughout the night has made the neighbors collectively insomnia.
The next morning, the Taoist passed by Yang's house, pinched his fingers outside the door, and learned that there were ghosts and ghosts, so he took action to catch the ghosts, and wrote down a spirit rune, sealed with both hands, and the spirit rune spontaneously combusted without fire, and waited for Yang Laosan's mother-in-law to drink the rune water, the mother-in-law immediately got out of bed and walked, and the illness was more than half better.
Out of Yang's house, and then came to the street, the Taoist chief grabbed a little boy who was watching the excitement, and after touching the child's body, he exclaimed: "What a champion, he actually let the poor road meet." Gongsun Sheng took out five taels of silver and handed it to the child's parents, saying that it was a good fate.
The people who watched the excitement next to him didn't believe it, saying that the Taoist pretended to be a ghost, and the Taoist was not annoyed, smiled slightly, sealed his hands, and gently brushed on the child's head, the child's eyebrows suddenly lit up, and a golden 'Wen' word appeared, flashing, and the people next to him saw it, and they were all convinced, and they all said hello to the child's parents and gave birth to a champion.
The clever point hurriedly asked the Taoist chief to calculate a hexagram for his child, and the Taoist chief smiled: "The poor Taoist cultivator is not yet at home, and he can only divinate three hexagrams every day, and he only calculates for those who are destined." Today has already calculated a hexagram for the future champion, and now there are only two chances. ”
When the surroundings heard that there were only two chances, they hurriedly stepped forward to seize the opportunity and asked the Taoist chief to calculate a hexagram for himself.
