At noon on the second day, Wang Lun asked Zou's uncle and nephew to hold a wine feast in Dengyun Mountain, and after a full meal of nearly 5,000 people and horses in the whole mountain, the Liangshan army was divided into four roads, and the leaders said goodbye at the gate of the village, and each went to the fork in the road and ran towards their respective goals.

Han Shizhong and Jiao Ting respectively took fifty guards, pretending to be horse dealers, advanced to Dengzhou City, and each found a hotel to stay. One of these two leaders was an officer, and the other was reckless, and he had a hundred Wang Lun personal guards with orders and prohibitions and a temperament different from ordinary people.

Guo Sheng took the remaining 400 people to ambush in the mountain stream outside the city, and when the appointed time came, he drove to the east gate of Dengzhou. Wang Lun took Lu Fang and Yang Lin to escort a few medicinal herb carts and walked leisurely on the road into the city. From time to time, there were five or seven people or more than a dozen people from Dengyun Mountain in disguise, passing by Wang Lun, these people with all kinds of goods, mixed in the crowd, mixed into the city, waiting for the night to seize the door.

Wang Lun maintained a rather relaxed mood at this time, not without reason.

In the original trajectory, Sun Xin and his wife wrapped Sun Li, who had no choice, plus more than 20 people from the Zou family's uncles and nephews, actually ran rampant in this city. After everyone broke the prison and rescued the Xie brothers, not only did they not evacuate in a panic, but they actually had the spare strength to kill the culprit accomplice Kong Mu Wang Zheng's family, which shows how lax the defense of this city is.

And Wang Lun has more than 1,000 soldiers and horses under him at this time, although the combat power of the 500 minions on Dengyun Mountain is not easy to say, but the ability of his own battalion of personal guards, Wang Lun still knows it. In addition, there are a group of armed leaders such as Han Shizhong, Jiao Ting, and Lu Fang, and Yang Lin has found out the path again, and Wang Lun has the capital to be calm and idle at this time.

During yesterday's deliberations, Sun Xin seemed to make everyone feel righteous and took the initiative to ask Sister-in-law Gu to pretend to be sick, so that he could invite his very good brother to a hotel outside the city. Avoid causing trouble to the city capture army. At that time, Sister-in-law Gu couldn't help it, and snorted coldly. Seeing this, Han Shizhong looked at Sun Xin for a long time, although he didn't say anything embarrassing to him, but he didn't think much of his brother, Chi Sun Li, was sick.

Wang Lun politely rejected this suggestion at that time. As a person who is familiar with the beginning and end of the incident, he is a little worried that Gu's sister-in-law will be like the original trajectory, and he can't help but make her words clear, forcing Sun Li, who originally had a ghost in her heart, into a corner, and finally has to choose the lesser of two evils (if you don't save your cousin, you won't have your own brother). If it really develops to this point, what kind of bad reputation will he have to bear? And as a petty bureaucrat who is bent on climbing up. This is definitely a fatal stain on his career.

After all, it is a corrupt official who employs people, and he will not use a ruthless and cold-blooded person who makes him feel at ease all the time.

Sun Li obviously also knew how difficult Lu Dao's choice was, although he was ruthless, he was not stupid. When the time comes, if he is forced to be helpless, maybe he will still be wrapped in Liangshan by his younger brother and sister-in-law as before, and then betray his fellow disciple Luan Tingyu as a stepping stone. Of course, the current Luan Tingyu has been let go by Wang Lun. He couldn't sell it if he wanted to. But the values in this person's heart were set in his career in Huan Hai for more than ten years.

Judging from the inaction of his official body to the initiative after falling into the grass, Sun Li is a person. is not a person who can make friends with righteousness and influence with friendship. In the hearts of this person, the first consideration is always their own interests, and other people, including blood relatives and fellow brothers, are equally insignificant. He can even pretend to be deaf and dumb and sit back and watch the former die unjustly and ruthlessly betray the latter for his own future.

It can be said that such a person is not weak, but cold-blooded and selfish. It is completely incompatible with the current Liangshanbo.

The biggest difference between Wang Lun's Liangshan and Song Jiang's Liangshan is that Wang Lun has set a hidden red line for this paradise, blocking out many people who are not worthy of being called heroes. Now Liangshan is a group based on righteousness and heritage, the men on the mountain are all righteous brothers who can cut off their heads and necks and are willing to trust their lives, even if some people have low skills, but as long as they have righteousness and can take the initiative to integrate into this cottage, Wang Lun is also extremely willing to invite him to go up the mountain to be a handsome.

But people like Sun Li and Dong Ping, who can spoil a pot of porridge, no matter how good their martial arts are, Wang Lun will never let them ruin Liangshan's current hard-won good situation.

If you keep such a person by your side as a teammate, you are far more threatening than the enemy. There are many heroes in the world, and these two are not bad for Luan Tingyu and Zhang Qing.

"Daguan, in front of you is Dengzhou City!" Lu Fang's reminder interrupted Wang Lun, who was pondering. Seeing that he raised his eyes, he saw the outline of the Dengzhou City Gate appear in front of him.

This once famous seaside town in the north of the Great Song Dynasty was gradually replaced by Mingzhou in the south after being deprived of its maritime trade function, and gradually declined. It's just that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and two or three years later, when the emerging Jin envoys first ascended to the realm of the Northern Song Dynasty, they were shocked by this bustling city that they had never seen before, and suddenly became the most brilliant and magnificent crystallization of human civilization in their eyes.

"From noon to now, everyone is tired, tell the guys to rest, let's not rush this journey!" Wang Lun turned around and commanded.

Yang Lin immediately responded, and hurriedly told everyone to stop and rest, and the companions were all minions of Dengyun Mountain, seeing that the big leader was so considerate, they were all smiling and sitting around, holding the brim of their hats and clothes, fanning the cool breeze to relieve the heat. Lu Fang took the gourd and handed it to Wang Lun first, Wang Lun took it with a smile, drank a sip of water, and pointed in the direction of the brothers, Lu Fang nodded with a smile, took another wine, and distributed it to everyone to quench their thirst.

It is said that when Wang Lun and the others were resting, they suddenly saw an old official who was in good spirits and seemed to have reached the age of the Mandate of Heaven, with a few entourages, and came out of the city in a light car. When passing by Wang Lun's convoy, the old man looked at him twice, Wang Lun saw that this person was extraordinary, not angry but powerful, but like a character, he was immediately a little curious, got up to salute, and looked at him at the same time.

The old man saw that Wang Lun was a little imposing, and saw that he was neither arrogant nor humble, polite and polite, but he didn't leave, so he got off the horse and walked to Wang Lun's side, and asked, "Scholar?" ”

Wang Lun saw that he asked abruptly, and said with a smile: "There is an old man who asks about it, but Xiao Ke has studied for a few years, but he has no career and lives in the rivers and lakes!" ”

Seeing that Wang Lun was not decadent at this time, the official nodded slightly, stepped forward to look at Wang Lun's goods, and Wang Lun smiled: "It's all some medicinal materials, ready to be sold in the city!" ”

"Scholars sell medicinal herbs......" The official shook his head with a look of heartache on his face, and just swallowed the remaining half of the sentence back into his stomach.

Wang Lun saw that this official was a little interesting, and said with a smile: "I'm ashamed to say it!" The ten-year cold window can't be exchanged for the opportunity to share worries for the country, and Xiao Ke doesn't know how to farm grains, so he has to do what he can to support himself and this group of guys! ”

"It's a good thing to be self-reliant, but don't delay your future! Seeing that you are also a person who knows etiquette in this later life, you must know that there are many talents who have failed to succeed in this dynasty, don't be discouraged! In a few words, the old man had some good feelings for Wang Lun, and opened his mouth to teach purely.

"Thank you for your encouragement, the kid doesn't dare to forget!" Wang Lun arched his hand. Seeing that the official was very interested in his goods, he asked Lu Fang to open a bag of astragalus and said, "It's all only collected this year, and the seniors look good, take some!" ”

The old man smiled and said, "Then please look at it and help me weigh a few catties!" ”

Lu Fang got Wang Lun's eyes, and hurriedly picked up some high-quality goods, and didn't ask how much, so he helped the old man wrap up, the official's entourage handed over the money, Wang Lun didn't speak, Lu Fang said that he was willing to accept anything, the old man had already seen that Wang Lun was the person in charge, and said with a smile: "Since you and I met today, it is fate!" The old man also suffered like you back then, life is not easy, and just accept it! ”

Seeing this, Wang Lun no longer shirked, nodded at Lu Fang, Lu Fang then accepted the broken silver, and took out dozens of copper coins, looking for the old man's entourage, the old official bowed slightly, and the entourage also accepted it when he saw this, and the old man smiled and asked Lu Fang some official tips for selling medicinal materials, Lu Fang is a clever person, he was originally a drug seller, and when he saw it, he said it was the truth, but he deliberately said three hidden ones between words, for fear that someone would touch the business know-how, but the old man did not doubt it.

The old man listened to it with a smile for a long time, and saw that Lu Fang dealt with it properly, so he turned over and got on the horse, but he didn't leave immediately, and immediately encouraged Wang Lun a few words, telling him that reading is the right way, don't sigh about it, and after seeing Wang Lun's disapproving look, he left with emotion.

Wang Lun asked Yang Lindao, "Who is this official?" Not like a simple character! said that he was buying my medicinal materials, and he asked the idea in a few words, if it weren't for Brother Lu Fang's background, he would almost see the flaws! ”

Yang Lin thought for a while and said: "There is a general judgment in Dengzhou City here, who is nearly sixty years old, and has not been in office for two years, so that all the people in the city admire him, and they all pass on his good name, could it be this person?" ”

"But who's your name?" Wang Lun asked.

"I heard that it is the name of the two Zhejiang people, the surname is Ze, and he was promoted from the county order of Ye County! It is said that when he first took office as the general judge of Dengzhou, he found that there were hundreds of acres of clan official land in the state, all of which were barren land, but he had to pay more than 10,000 yuan in rent, which was passed on to the local people. After this person took office, he angrily wrote to the imperial court, stated the truth, and asked for exemption, which finally relieved the people of Dengzhou from a heavy additional burden. The people of Benzhou all feel his kindness, but they hate him for not being a Zhizhou! Yang Lin opened a hotel in Dengzhou for half a year, and he also knows a lot about some villagers.

Zong Ze? It turned out to be him!

Wang Lun was secretly surprised, he didn't want this grandfather in the mouth of the golden man to live in Dengzhou here, only a state attached, seeing that this person was in his old age, but he was still only sitting in this position, and could not be ranked in the center to exert the greatest energy, how could it not be said that it was the sorrow of this last court?
