After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, I only heard Deng Fei ask: "Why did my brother come down the mountain with General Lin and Jiao Ting brothers this time?" But where are you going? ”

"Cangzhou Chai officials used to be kind to me, it can be said that if there was no funding from him, there would be no Liangshan Dazhai in me, Lin Jiaotou was recommended by him to me, and we are ready to go to Cangzhou in person to thank the officials!" Wang Lun replied.

Deng Fei slapped his thigh when he heard this, and said: "I have also heard of the name of Chai Daguan for a long time, when I walked in the rivers and lakes in the past, this one also said that he was good, and that one also said that he was good, until my ears were full, since now my brother is going to Chai Daguanren, how about the younger brother go with you?" ”

"Why not?" Wang Lun smiled heartily.

Deng Fei was overjoyed in his heart, and raised a bowl of wine to Wang Lun, and then Meng Kang said: "Brother Deng Fei went to Cangzhou, so what should I do?" ”

"Brother, why don't you pack up your things and take the children to Dazhai to get together first, and my brother and I will be back in a few days!" Deng Feidao.

Meng Kang thought for a moment and nodded in response: "Okay! ”

I only heard Deng Fei say again: "Brother, I think our Liangshan Village is not short of money and food, but there are still a few carts of wealth in our cottage, so it is better to take them all to change horses, and ask Brother Meng Kang to take the children to dress up as horse dealers to go south, and it is convenient to walk on the road!" ”

Wang Lun nodded when he saw this, and said, "Brother is worthy of being a long-term traveler, this is indeed feasible!" This will bother Brother Meng Kang! ”

Meng Kang hurriedly said: "Now it's all a family, brother, don't be polite!" ”

Everyone toasted each other again, and at this time Wang Lun looked at Pei Xuan and said, "I wonder if Pei Kongmu still has a family in Jingzhao Mansion?" This Pei Xuan looked like he was forty years old, but he hadn't heard that he had a family before, so he went up the mountain alone, but according to his identity as the deputy provincial city procurator general in later generations, Wang Lun felt a little unbelievable when he was more than forty years old, so he had this question.

Pei Xuan sighed when he heard this, and said: "There is an old wife with her daughter at home, but when I was matched, I thought about nine deaths and my life, and wrote a letter of resignation to her on the spot, her mother's family still has some family wealth, but it is not that I can't get by, but I have affected her, alas! "Shamen Island is lonely in the sea outside Dengzhou, people at the time think that when they get there, it is like going to the ghost gate, in fact, it is also the case, there are historical records, in the Song Dynasty Shenzong Xining years, Shamen Island camp Li Qing to torture and kill prisoners for pleasure, this person served as a prison warden on Shamen Island for two years, but killed 700 prisoners before and after, on average almost one a day. This is only a subjective reason, and there are also objective reasons, the island has not enough food for a long time, and the jailers can't eat enough, not to mention the prisoners, so there are many starving ghosts.

Wang Lun looked at Pei Xuan and sincerely persuaded: "If Kong Mu can't let go of her, it's better to go back and take her and her daughter up the mountain together!" Thinking that Kong Mu was iron-faced and selfless in the past, I don't know how many people he offended in Jingzhao Mansion, but now that Kong Mu is gone, maybe some people will think about it, and tell them how to deal with women's homes? What do you see? "These heroes have such and such advantages, but the disadvantage is that they don't take their families very seriously, or they originally went up the mountain to make do, maybe they don't know why they have to take their families to the troubled waters.

Pei Xuan was taken aback when he saw it, and thought: "My wife and children are of no use to the cottage at all, and now this one is just asking me to go back to get people, but what does it mean?" Aren't you afraid that I'll run away halfway? ”

Wang Lun saw him pondering, and said: "Xiao Ke has no other intentions, I just want to reunite the Confucian family, if we are separated by thousands of miles, both sides will suffer, and I don't want to see Confucius regret in his heart!" Whether the family takes it or not, it all depends on Kongmu's own meaning! It's that Kong Mu doesn't want to go up the mountain, and Xiao Ke is not reluctant, but there is a sentence to send each other'Husband and wife are the same forest birds, and they will carry it together when the disaster comes!' ’”

Hearing Wang Lun say these words, Lin Chong felt the same way, and then got up and said: "I, Lin Chong, have not been false in my life, and dare to be here to protect my brother, this brother is a righteous man who stands up to the sky!" I, Lin Chong, obeyed him, because he didn't say a word for the sake of his brothers, and I also hoped that Pei Kongmu would think twice! ”

Seeing this, Deng Fei, Meng Kang and others also stood up to persuade each other, and said: "My brother thinks so well for us, if the two of us have a family and move up the mountain early, does Brother Kong Mu expect his sister-in-law to take his niece to marry again?" Or can't bear to watch your sister-in-law stay alive and widowed? ”

When Pei Xuan heard this, he couldn't listen to it anymore, so he got up and wept to Wang Lun and said, "If it weren't for my brother's persuasion, the villain would have almost made a mistake, and I ...... I...... I'm going back and getting it! ”

Wang Lun helped him up and said: "I'm afraid that Confucius won't be able to enter the city, I will send my subordinate leader Li Si with three or five brothers to assist you, they used to be very good in Tokyo, and they are all familiar with personnel, so they will not miss the major event of Confucius!" ”

Pei Xuan bowed to the end again when he heard this, Wang Lun hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said, "In the future, we will all be brothers in a cottage, so I don't have to be so polite!" ”

That Pei Xuan had tears in his eyes, speechless, everyone saw this, they were all happy, Deng Fei asked the children to pack up their things, and asked if there was anyone who was unwilling to go, this Deng Fei treated people with righteousness on weekdays, and the minions were willing to go together, and when they cleaned up their things, everyone was divided into three ways, Wang Lun, Lin Chong, Jiao Ting, and Deng Fei went north, Pei Xuan took Li Si and other five or six people to the west, and Meng Kang took the cottage brothers to buy horses, and then went south to Liangshan.

And said that Deng Fei changed the color of the forbidden army uniform, and Wang Lun and others went to Cangzhou together, and everyone on the road said some deeds of the rivers and lakes, but they were very happy, plus this team of people and horses were all riding horses, and walked north for several days, and gradually reached the boundary of Cangzhou, at this time, Wang Lun's heart was empty, and he had no impression of the path, so he simply said to Lin Chong: "I have been out of Cangzhou for several years, I don't remember the way, do you remember my brother?" Lin Chong smiled when he heard this, and said, "Brother will follow the villain!" ”

Under the guidance of Lin Chong, everyone walked for a long time, crossed a big stone bridge, stepped on a flat road, and saw a large courtyard in the shade of green willows. I saw a wide river around the city, with weeping poplar trees on both sides, and a whitewashed wall in the shade of the trees. When everyone came to the village, there were four or five Zhuang guests sitting on the broadboard bridge, all of whom were enjoying the shade there, and when they saw this team of officers and soldiers who came out of nowhere, they all rolled their eyes there and said: "Come to fight the autumn wind again, that is, my big officials have a good temper, and they want to follow my heart, and they are too lazy to look at him!" ”

Wang Lun ignored these few, and directly beckoned everyone to follow him to get off the horse and walk to the front of the village, and the people inside heard the movement, turned out a small house, and saw Wang Lun and others: "Wait a minute!" Then he turned in, and after a while, he came out with a plate, on which were placed two ingots of ten taels of silver, and handed it to Wang Lun and said: "You are not blessed, my family officials are not in the house, you are both officials and soldiers, as usual, these twenty taels of thin gifts will be given, you can wait and please go back!" ”

Wang Lun listened to the tone of this little guy who had been repeated thousands of times without a trace of emotion, and looked back at Lin Chong very funny, Lin Chong also smiled helplessly, thinking that he and Wang Lun were both people who had been here, and this little guy didn't know if the nobles were forgetful, or they didn't take themselves to heart at all, just like sending idlers away. At this time, Zhang San saw such a playful expression on the faces of the owner of the village and Lin Jiaotou, turned around and touched for a long time, took out a big silver ingot of fifty taels and threw it on the plate, and said: "Reward you, get out of the way, my big officials will wait for your big noble!" ”

Seeing this, the little guy opened his mouth wide, thinking that he was begging for food in the village, and he had seen such a generous money, thinking that he had met a big man? Hurriedly retreated to the side and let everyone enter the door, everyone walked more than a dozen steps, Deng Fei muttered on the side: "The king of Hades is good, the little ghost is difficult, how come the world-famous Chai officials are all like this?" Wang Lun patted him on the shoulder, looked back at Zhang San and said with a smile: "Little San, I'll come in directly, what are you talking about with a little guy, don't you keep your private money to marry a daughter-in-law?" ”

Zhang San said with a smile: "Earn face for my brother, what is this money, it's not all rewarded by my brother!" ”

"Good! Good! Wang Lun said two good words in a row, then turned his head and walked into the village side by side with Lin Chong, Zhang San rushed forward when he saw this and said: "Brother, this money is really mine?!" I knew that I only lost twenty taels! Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Lin Chong couldn't help but laugh, and said with a smile: "Even if my brother doesn't care about you, I'll make it up to you when I go back, it's all right!" Zhang San smiled heartily at this time, and said obediently: "It's only fifty taels, what is it worth!" But seeing that Lin Chong also turned his head and ignored him at this time, Zhang San was embarrassed, lowered his head to catch up, and didn't dare to speak again.

Everyone walked inside again, but saw a big man blocking a big man on a flat ground in the courtyard, shouting: "Wu Song, you fight!" Come on, come on, it's better to kill us, and ask Chai Daguan to raise you for another three years and five years! ”
