Chapter 24: The Prodigal Son Yanqing
In the box of the Lion Tower, Ximen Qing and Wu Yong agreed on everything that should be done, and after making an appointment on the date of the handover, Wu Yong and Ruan Xiaoer immediately said goodbye and left, and went straight back to Liangshan.
After this incident, Ximenqing couldn't help but have a new understanding of this Chao Gai gang. Thinking that in "Water Margin", when Wang Lun was there, Liangshan was just a small village, with only hundreds of soldiers, and no more than two or three, thinking that Du Qian and Song Wan and the like, they were not even the best people in the green forest, as for Zhu Gui, he was shrewd and capable, but unfortunately he was quite suppressed by Wang Lun, and it was not until Lin Chong went up the mountain that he sat on the top of the mountain.
When Chao Gai and his gang went to Liangshan, in just a few days, the cottage was prosperous, even when Hei Saburo had not gone up the mountain, there were more than 10,000 minions in the village. Thinking about it, Chao Gai is indeed a hero, knowing that in the cottage, the food is important, and he is willing to share the huge wealth with Ximenqing, just to enrich the savings of the cottage, obviously to carry forward the cause of Liangshan.
The two brothers, Ma and Ma Jin, have seen the majesty of Ximenqing in Yanggu County these days, but such a 100,000 yuan deal was finalized in the blink of an eye, and such a luxurious momentum really made these two green forest men secretly speechless.
I thought that the 20,000 yuan I intercepted from Jieyang Ridge was already a huge amount of money, but today I know that there is a sky outside the sky, and this Ximen official has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth.
The two brothers originally had a very serious intention of falling into the grass, but this time they have gained insight and can't help but have the intention of clinging. On the evening of the same day, his brother Ma Xun explained the situation in front of Ximenqing, which made the latter overjoyed.
Although the Ma brothers have a criminal record, they can't compare to Yang Zhi who lost his birthday, or Chao Gai and others, it is not a big case, with Ximenqing's wrist and relationship in the government, as long as he is willing to spend money to dredge the joints, he can naturally turn big things into small things, and small things into nothing.
Ximen Qing knew that the Great Song Dynasty would not last for a few more years, and the northern land would sooner or later fall under the iron hooves of the Jin people, and he wanted to take his whole family to avoid trouble in the south. Thinking that in the troubled times when people's lives are like cheap grass, brave people like the Ma brothers must be as much as possible, and they will gladly accept it.
In the future, Wang Qing's fierce generals under Ma Wei and Ma Jin were brought under his command, and Ximenqing, who only cared about happiness recently, was a little sober, recalling that in the future, the Jin people would go south and smoke everywhere, but they really began to think about ways to retreat and save their lives.
For the understanding of this era, Ximen Qing really knows very little in his mind, except for the so-called "six thieves" and the affairs of Huizong and Master Li, and what can be called memorable is only from "Water Margin". Fortunately, the situation here is exactly as described in the book, and Ximen Qing is also a little "prescient".
This night's Ximenqing neither slept in the eldest mother's room, nor did he recruit a beautiful maid to sleep, but lay alone in the study, carefully brushed the memory of "Water Margin" in his mind, and recorded it one by one with a pen in his critical places.
Early in the morning of the second day, Ximenqing, who had an idea, informed the housekeeper that he would go to Bianliang, Tokyo after taking a concubine in a few days, and needed a large amount of money to prepare the family account room in advance.
Taking a concubine is not as good as marrying a wife, and the matter of Pan's and Ximenqing has already been full of turmoil in Yanggu County, and the news has long been known to all the ten miles and eight towns, so this concubine gift is simple. Fortunately, this Pan Jinlian was the daughter of a small family, and she had a rough life, so Ximenqing had her in her heart, and she didn't pay too much attention to this etiquette.
The bride entered the door, and the Ximen officials finally lived a happy life with a wife and a concubine, although they could not be greatly a**, but for him from later generations, this time was also fresh and abnormal, and he only felt that life was so far, what more could the husband ask for. What's more, Pan's bewitching appearance is even more pitiful, and the original trip to Tokyo has been delayed again and again.
On this day, I finally made up my mind to leave Gentle Township, and was about to pack my luggage and go on the road, but I didn't want an unexpected person to come to the house.
Speaking of which, this Ximen Qing can also be regarded as a handsome young man, but this one who came this day is better than him by three points in terms of appearance, and he is also very smart, so he actually pressed this Ximen Qing alive.
The one who came was none other than the first-class dexterous character in "Water Margin", the "prodigal son" Yan Qing under the wealthy lord Lu Junyi.
Speaking of this Yan Qing, he can be called loyal and righteous, and he is clever, he can be called exquisite, even Master Li, the head of the Fengyue Field, gets along with him, and he also trusts him with every inch, and even deliberately asks for a forgiveness letter from Huizong.
However, now this Yan Qing is only a slave of the Lu family, although he is quite appreciated by Lu Junyi, he still has not been removed from the slave status.
If there are such characters on the side, I really don't know how much I can save myself!
Ximen Qing had a good impression of Yan Qing in his heart, and he didn't treat him as a slave at all during his conversation, which made Yan Qing quite confused.
Yan Qing had also heard about the past comments of the Ximen officials before he came to Yanggu County, and he originally despised his character very much, but after seeing him here, he felt something else. And what surprised him even more was the Bian Xiang and the Ma brothers in Ximen Mansion.
Yan Qing's own martial arts skills are extraordinary, and the close-quarters are even more unique in the world, and he is bright-eyed and bright-hearted, at first glance, he knows that these three are not simple characters. When he heard that Bian Xiang was able to fight against the "iron rod" Luan Tingyu, he was even more surprised in his heart.
Luan Tingyu is very famous in the green forest of Shandong, and an iron rod in his hand is really powerful, thinking that Lu Junyi is known as "unparalleled in the world of guns and sticks", and he also knows a lot about the powerful people on the green forest road in Hebei, Shandong, this Yan Qing has also heard the name of Luan Tingyu from his own master's mouth, and knows that he is a top person. Being able to argue with such a figure shows how powerful Bian Xiang is. As for the Ma brothers, they are also strongmen who can fight lily with Bian Xiang.
This Ximenqing's means of attracting talents is really good!
After this introduction and greetings, Ximen Qing's cognition in Yan Qing's heart has suddenly risen again, even if the other party is really of inferior character, but with such means, he can be regarded as a powerful person, and one party is strong.
"Cangzhou, Chai Daguan!"
Ximen Qingwan didn't expect that this Yan Qing rushed to Yanggu County from the Daimyo Mansion for Chai Jin!
"Yandi white salt, the price is not as good as the Central Plains, if you can market Hebei and Shandong with the power of the three, you will get the wealth of the enemy country!"
Yan Qing explained the reason in one sentence, and immediately let Ximen Qing understand what Chai Jin wrote to meet last time!
