Wang left Bianjing for the second time, and it was already March in the spring of Yangchun. Green shoots emerge from trees on both sides of the Huimin River, and traders come and go, and hawkers and carts are hawking along the street; Crossing the Longjin Bridge, the pedestrians on the bridge, and the merchant ships on the Huimin River under the bridge are transported back and forth; Bianjing City has also woken up from winter. I saw the tower from the bridge again, and I thought of Liang Yuexia, and I had mixed feelings in my heart.

The scenery before and after is different, and the mood of the king is also very different: last time I was worried about Di Qing, but I just followed; This time, he took his life and suppressed the bandits to find the moon to comfort Di Qing's spirit in the sky. There is neither Bao Zheng nor Di Qing's aura, and he can only rely on himself for everything.

Since the king crossed over to the Song Dynasty, he was happy, he wanted money and money, and he wanted officials and officials; But he just held his breath, seeing Di Qing fall step by step, wanting to shake the wind and turn the tide, he was like stepping on cotton with a sandbag, and Bao Zheng's words echoed in his ears: "If the old man is not in this position, it is useless to have a heart of love for the people." ”

Wang Bian thought about Renzong's words again, and only more enemies were made in a hurry for quick success, and Wang Bian secretly decided that he would fight for the name of Wang Bian in the star-studded Northern Song Dynasty.

He analyzed the current situation: Renzong's meaning couldn't be clearer, giving you a gold medal can save your life, but the official position is indeed a temporary position. The relationship in the court is intertwined, and the lantern riddles blatantically targeted at Di Qing on the lanterns are difficult to ensure the connivance of the government, and there are indispensable entanglements between officials and bandits here.

There was a lesson from Zhoukou County before, and this trip should not bring the intention of Xingshi to ask for guilt, and offend the head snake; If the situation is not clear, it can't be taken lightly, Liang Yuexia is still in the hands of the other party, in case the robber tears up the ticket, it will be a good loss to the lady and the soldier.

Looking at the two accompanying people, He Libo, with a rough appearance, loyalty, and a strong man, this person is not lacking in thoughtfulness. This can be seen in playing against him.

Lu Shenyan, although he came to accompany him all the way, after the test in the early stage, he seems to be sleek and smart in business since he was a child, although he is shallow in knowledge, but he is down-to-earth.

One of these two people is a general, and the other is a master of internal affairs. Can you be a handsome person? Looking back to the previous life of the Song Dynasty for 30 years, he only entered the society at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Now I think about it as much as I did back then, but at least I live one more time than my peers.

The king made a trade-off, and he knew the bottom of his heart. He turned to Lu Shenyan and asked, "Brother Lu, how long has it been since I saw your tiger lady?" ”

Lu Shenyan said with a little grievance, "I haven't had time to go back to Chenzhou, but this time I hurriedly reported the news, and I didn't stop when I passed through Weishi County." ”

Wang Bi took out ten taels of silver in his arms, handed it to him and said, "Brother Lu first, this is the younger brother's intention, Brother Lu took it and prepared to give a dowry!" After visiting relatives and taking care of it, go to Wanqiu immediately. ”

Then he advised: "You go to Wanqiu to do three things first: first, make a county order, don't take back all the dowry, and don't be stingy with what you leave; The second inquired about the number of robbers in Longhu, and the third inquired about the whereabouts of the girl under the moon. ”

Lu Shenyan wanted to push it back, but it was disrespectful, so he took the silver and thanked the king: "That's okay, I'll do it immediately." "Let's go first.

Wang Bi turned to He Libo and said in a neat tone, and asked very respectfully: "Brother He, Brother Domeng helped me before. Now that the teacher has passed away, what are the plans of the eldest brother in the future? He cherishes this talent, but after all, He Libo came to Di Qing, if he didn't convince himself, how could He Libo help. Therefore there is this question, and he is tempted to make a bowl.

He Libo was lucky, and he looked at the king: "You and my brother, Master Di once said that we should take care of each other, and I am willing to work with my brother to help my brother do something." ”

Wang Bi shook his head: "Brother He has great ambitions in his heart, but he is afraid that he will wronged the eldest brother with the younger brother." ”

He Libo looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha, although my brother is younger than me, he is far more strategic than a brother." The next brother Zhou Kou used a plan, and the Lantern Festival said that the eldest brother was already admired, not to mention that he was in danger for his teacher. What grievances do I have with my brother. ”

Wang Bei's mood was surging, thinking that when Song Taizu Chen Qiao mutinied the yellow robe, it was nothing more than to break for himself and his brothers. What else can I take care of? raised his voice and arched his hand and said: "If Brother He revives the clan spirit one day, he needs a little brother, and he will definitely help." ”

He Libo hugged his fist next to the king and said: "In this case, if there is a day when I will restore my original name, it will be the time to say goodbye to my brother, but the eldest brother will always be a guest of honor and kiss his brother together." ”

When he heard this, he understood that if he could talk to himself in such a tone, He Libo was not a thing in the pool, and seeing that he was now a pseudonym, he thought that if he didn't say it, I would never ask. He only said, "Okay! Brother He, since this is the case, the younger brother will give it a go and live up to the expectations of the eldest brother. ”

When He Libo saw what the king said, he didn't ask much, but praised the atmosphere next to the king. So he asked: "Brother Bian has sent Libo first, when do you and I plan to go to Chenzhou." ”

Wang smiled beside him: "I heard that the person who held the moon under the moon went west, and Brother He also went to Xihua County to investigate first, and then took the waterway to Wanqiu." ”

He Libo said, "Hmm. Xihua is in the west of Longhu, and I will meet my brother Wanqiu after I finish exploring. After speaking, he hugged his fists and said goodbye to Wang Ben Xihua County.

From this day on, on the road from Bianjing to Wanqiu, there was no king who was ordered to suppress the bandits, but there was an additional young man in white, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was generous. Everywhere I went, I stayed for two or three days, wandering the troublesome streets, preferring to chat with the vendors and beggars on the roadside. And every time there will be some bounty. The content of the chat is nothing more than anecdotes from all over the world.

On this day, the king finally arrived in Wanqiu, and according to the address left by Lu Shenbo before, he found a house in the county seat. He looked around the house, which was close to the center of the county, a two-entry quadrangle. In the middle of the noise, there is really a hidden style of trouble, and the location is very satisfied.

Buckle the door knocker, and it came out that it was a family member who was originally in Di's mansion, and he saw that it was the king who came back, and hurriedly led the king to walk in while shouting: "The son has arrived." The maid hurriedly went into the inner courtyard to call Rou'er, Lu Shenyan and He Libo had already heard the call outside and hurriedly greeted her.

Everyone welcomed Wang Bian into the main hall like a moon, and Rou'er took the bag and placed it with her own hands, and Wang Bian felt that the head of the family was also this feeling.

The king couldn't take a break, and dismissed the idle people, leaving only He Libo and Lu Shenyan. The two of them had gathered some information and asked the king to decide.

Lu Shenyan was the first to arrive in Wanqiu, according to the king's instructions to call the county office, although Lu Shenyan is only the king's housekeeper but the county order received the benefits, but it is relatively very polite, asked about the king next to Lu Shenyan said that the king is just in the form of orders, please take care of the county order. The reply of the county decree was that he would do his best to suppress the bandits within his ability, and he would let the king give an account to the court.

Regarding the matter under the moon, there has been no trace of the girl under the moon in Wanqiu County since that day. It is also rumored that the person who captured the girl under the moon was not a robber from Taihu Lake.

In addition, Lu Shenyan also heard that the number of robbers was not very large, there were about thirty or forty people, but they were all fierce. The leader of the robbers was a young man in his twenties; There is also a middle-aged man in his thirties who also seems to be a leader.

He Libo reported back the news that there were several pawnshops and gold and silver shops in Xishui, and some of them colluded with robbers to sell stolen goods, but they also did it secretly. However, Xishui did not have a stronghold of robbers, and the government of Xishui tried its best and vigorously punished one or two shops. If you take the waterway from the west water, the county government will definitely support it.

At the same time, there was no news of the girl under the moon in Xishui, He Libo found a fisherman's family, and took him around the Dragon Lake for a few days, and the location of several water pavilions on the lake, reed ponds, willow forests and the surrounding terrain have been mapped.

The two asked about Wang's next steps. Wang asked Lu Shenyan to go to the county government to hand over the name post, and when he saw the county order, he said that he had just arrived in Wanqiu, and he needed to repair it for a day or two, and then he would visit in person.

As Wang Pan expected, Chang County Ling secretly accepted the Wang family's reason, and saw that Wang Pan had no intention of really suppressing bandits, and he did not blame Wanqiu for suppressing bandits.

The king set up a banquet next to him and invited Chang County to drink, and during the banquet, he talked about the affairs of the court and the central government, and what officials were promoted and transferred. Let's talk about the border again, such as the death of the queen mother in Western Xia, and the anecdotes I saw and heard along the map. A foot in the sky and a foot on the ground, the scenery of the beauties of the counties. The county commander who chatted was dumbfounded, but the king did not mention the bandits.

In the end, it was Chang County Commander who said, "Lord Wang brought the imperial decree to supervise the suppression of bandits this time, you see, how do you want this official to cooperate?" ”

Wang smiled next to him: "I heard that this robber will not disturb the city, and it is reasonable for Chang County to order that the county will be quiet and not send troops." It's just that Chenzhou is not far from Bianjing, and it is not common for bandits to exist after all. It's a big deal to recruit an or give some silver taels to settle down, who wants to be a bandit? ”

Chang Xian Ling stood up and bowed down: "Oh, there is no one who knows me as Lord Wang, and the court also asks for kind words from your lord." As for the cost of this appeasement?"

The king said, "How can you talk about it if you don't listen to the conditions?" The adults sent someone over to hear the other party's conditions. I'll figure out how to cost it."

Seeing that the king said this, the county order knew the origin of the king and the money, which was not a difficult thing for him, especially if he asked the court for money, maybe he could make a fortune. Although this king is a little famous, he is just a teenager. Chang Xian Ling went away full of joy. Watching him leave, Wang Bi sneered in his heart: "No matter how cunning the fox is, it will show its feet." ”

After sending away Chang County's order, Wang arranged for He Libo and Lu Shenyan to visit the "sloppy Zhang" mentioned by Master Bao in the past few days. Wang Bei has his own plans to visit the sloppy Zhang, one is about Song Wenjian, and the other is that maybe this person can come in handy to suppress the bandits.

Finally a little relieved, settled, Wang stood in the courtyard, from this time, this is his first home in the Song Dynasty, three main rooms in the front yard, two on each side of the ear room; Looking around, I sighed in my heart, the head of the family, but I didn't see the hostess under the moon.

Enter the back house from the east moon gate, there is an ear room on the east and west sides, and the main house is connected by a corridor with three rooms. The light in the main room was on, and he vaguely saw someone walking in the room, and the king knew that it must be Rou'er, so he hesitated a little. When he entered the door and saw Rou'er smiling, Wang Bei felt emotion and guilt in his heart.

In any case, there is no feeling of being speechless and intimate with Rou'er, not to mention that there is no news under the moon at the moment. Even if Rou'er is so tender, the king has no intention of rewarding it.

"You go back to your room to rest" Obviously, Wang Bei has no intention of keeping Rou'er by his side, even if it is good to reminisce about the past?

But although Wang Bi felt a little disappointed when Rou'er turned around, he still decided that he would never do anything to Rou'er before he found the moon.

In all the king's plans, what he didn't expect was that the next day "Sloppy Zhang" was actually delivered to the door by himself.
