Sheng Yanshi nodded when he heard this: "What the chief manager said is, then I will guide the way for the adults, let's go back and have a look!" Saying that, Cheng Biting Jin asked Lu Mingyue to anchor and stop the ship, and he and Sheng Yanshi took two servants, took some silver taels, and went straight to Yucheng County. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yucheng County is only one or two hundred miles away from here, and a few people hurry up to the city every two or three hours.

When he arrived outside Yucheng County, Sheng Yanshi was worried about the situation at home, and he was obviously a lot more nervous, so he just told Cheng Yanjin about the situation in his hometown to relieve his nervousness.

Cheng Biting Jin nodded while listening, and several people quickly entered the county seat. They looked around, and Cheng Yanjin asked in surprise: "Master Yan, why do you have so many taverns here?" Do you all love to drink in Yucheng? ”

Sheng Yanshi said with a smile: "Boss, our Yucheng is Du Kang's hometown, and almost everyone here makes wine at home, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they love to drink. ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed and said, "Okay! I didn't expect you to have such a celebrity in Yucheng County. Sheng Yanshi smiled: "Not only Du Kang? We have a very strong martial arts here, and everyone can practice twice; There was also a heroine named Mulan in history. ”

Several people chatted while walking, and it didn't take long to arrive at the door of Sheng Yanshi's house. Sheng Yanshi saw that the door of the house was closed, and for no reason he was nervous, he said to Cheng Yanjin: "Manager, the villain's house is in front, I'll go over and call the door!" ”

Sheng Yanshi came to the door and flew off the horse, knocking on the door knocker; After a while, there was a sound of footsteps inside, and then a young woman's voice asked, "Who?" ”

Then the door creaked open, revealing a young and beautiful woman. She obviously didn't know Sheng Yanshi, so she was slightly stunned and asked, "This official, who are you looking for?" ”

Sheng Yanshi didn't know this woman either, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly hugged his fists and asked, "This lady, is this Sheng Yanping's home?" ”

The woman nodded slightly and said, "Yes! However, my husband has come to work in the yamen and has not yet returned, so if you want to find him, you should come later! ”

Half of Sheng Yanshi's heart fell into his stomach, and he smiled slightly: "It turned out to be my brother and sister in person!" My name is Sheng Yanshi, I don't know if my brother and sister have heard Yanping say it. ”

The woman exclaimed, "It turns out that Uncle has returned, Yan usually mentions you to me, and my mother is also very worried!" Please come in, my mother-in-law is in the house! ”

Sheng Yanshi's heart finally fell into his stomach, and he said to the woman, "There are a few other good friends of mine who want to visit my mother with me." ”

The woman glanced at Cheng Yanjin and the others behind her, and was startled, these people were tall and big, and their fierce spirit could not be concealed; Don't be some kind of bandit, right? She hesitated.

At this moment, I heard the curtain of the door of the house lift, and a gray-haired old woman came out of it and asked, "Who is Chen talking to?" ”

Sheng Yanshi's tears fell first when he heard this, and said, "Mother, Master Yan's unfilial son is back!" When the old lady heard this, she threw away the crutches in her hand with a snap, and walked a few steps and said, "Master Yan, is Master Yan back?" ”

Sheng Yanshi also hurriedly ran into the courtyard, knelt on the ground and hugged his mother's legs and cried loudly, Chen confirmed their identities, and opened the door and invited Cheng Yanjin and others to come in.

Seeing that their mother and son had been crying for a long time, Chen stepped forward to persuade his mother, and Cheng Yanjin and others also persuaded Sheng Yanshi. Sheng Yanshi stood up from the ground and wiped his eyes and said, "Mother, this is my son's life-saving benefactor, and he is also the county governor of Dong'e County; The son is currently working under him. ”

Cheng Yanjin hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage and asked the servant to present the gift. Sheng Yanshi's mother didn't dare to say anything, and helped Cheng Yanjin up and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, adults please get up quickly, but the life of the old body will be broken." ”

Sheng Yanshi's mother asked Cheng Yanjin and others to sit in the hall, and at the same time instructed her daughter-in-law to beg the neighbors to find Sheng Yanping back.

Cheng Yanjin and the others sat in the house for a short time, and then they heard footsteps outside, and then someone picked up the door curtain and entered the house, and said loudly: "Big brother is back!" Where is the eldest brother" Then he saw Sheng Yanshi running over and kneeling down, calling out to the eldest brother, and crying loudly.

Sheng Yanshi was also tearful, and pulled Sheng Yanping up to look at it again. Cheng Yanjin felt a little puzzled, these two brothers really didn't look like each other at all. Sheng Yanshi is so thin that he has a fight with Hou Junji, but Sheng Yanping is a medium-sized and sturdy man.

Sheng Mu separated the two brothers and introduced them to everyone, it turned out that Sheng Yanping was promoted to filial piety and became a clerk in the county yamen; In Yucheng County, he can be regarded as a leading figure.

In the evening, the Sheng family held a feast to entertain Cheng Yanjin and others, and Cheng Yanjin also showed a little intention of soliciting; Sheng Yanping flickered and did not agree happily.

Sheng Yanshi was a little unhappy, he snapped the wine glass in his hand and said: "Yanping, although Manager Cheng is only Dong'e County Cheng now, you haven't seen the grand occasion of Liangshan!" Let me tell you, in a few years, the whole of Shandong will definitely fall under the name of adults.

The Steward recruits you to look up to you, what's the matter? That's reluctant to be a clerical clerk who doesn't enter the stream, it's really short-sighted! ”

Sheng Yanping smiled bitterly and said, "Big brother, it's not that I'm nostalgic for this clerk; However, Du County ordered me to be a clerk in times of crisis; I am as kind as a mountain.

Now there is a group of strongmen in Wagang Mountain, and the leader is named Zhai Rang, the leopard; His subordinates gathered thousands of minions, and they broke through the state and killed countless people here. Our Songzhou and Zhengzhou were attacked and disturbed, merchants did not dare to pass by, and when the county government was employing people, I really couldn't bear to leave like this. ”

Sheng Yanshi smiled: "What's so terrible about a small Wagang Mountain! Meng Haigong's 20,000 horses were all killed by us. You can rest assured, as long as the chief manager says a word, they will definitely obey their orders. ”

Cheng Yanjin was not so optimistic, this Wagang Mountain was the leader of the world's righteous army for two years, and it formed a confrontation between the east and the west with Li Tang, and divided the Great Sui River and Mountain equally.

Cheng Yanjin asked Sheng Yanping: "Yanping, do you know who Zhai Rang's subordinates are?" Sheng Yanping said: "This Zhai Rang turned out to be just a Fa Cao, there were only about 200 people when he first entered Wagang Mountain, and his entourage was only his brother Zhai Kuan and his friend Wang Ruxin.

It is said that this year, a young man under the age of 20, Xu Shiji, has just joined the service, this Xu Shiji's family is rich, and with his support, Zhai Rang's power has been able to expand rapidly! Dare to go out of Huazhou to Songzhou and Zhengzhou to plunder. ”

Cheng Biting Jin sighed: "It turns out that Fourth Brother Xu has already gone to Wagang Mountain, so the rise of Wagang is inevitable!" ”

Sheng Yanshi said curiously: "Lord Steward, do you know that Xu Shiji?" Listening to your words, it seems that you have a lot of respect for him? ”

Cheng Yanjin nodded and said, "Xu Shiji and I have eight friends in Jia Liulou!" This person's posture is now comparable to only Li Jing. ”

Sheng Yanshi was taken aback when he heard it, Xu Shiji didn't know, but Li Jing lived in Liangshan for a while, and put him in the first row of famous generals in history, which is comparable to Sun Wu, and it is unheard of that he can be compared with it now. The chief of himself is very accurate; It seems that this Xu Shiji really can't be underestimated.

Cheng Yanjin turned his head to Sheng Yanping and said, "Yanping, I have an old relationship with Xu Shiji, I can help you contact and ask them not to harass Yucheng County; However, the rise of Wagang is already unstoppable, and you should plan ahead. ”

Sheng Yanshi said to his younger brother: "Yanping, do you hear that?" Since the Governor has said it, you must plan ahead. Even if you are not afraid of death and have a mother and wife at home, you have to think more about them. ”

Sheng Yanping pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay! I listen to my eldest brother! But I'll have to talk about it after I pack up and Master Du resign. ”

Sheng Yanshi was overjoyed and said, "That's right!" Yanping, since the chief manager has already said that he will write a letter to Xu Shiji and ask him not to harass Yucheng County, then there will definitely be no problem in Yucheng County. We still have to go to Taiyuan, during this period of time, you sell your property, prepare well, and when we come back, we will go to Liangshan together. ”

Sheng Yanping nodded when he heard this, and the guests and hosts raised their glasses to celebrate, said some interesting things about the rivers and lakes, competed in martial arts, and talked happily.
