Dong Ping escorted Song Jiang to the prefect's yamen of Dongping Mansion and asked to see the prefect Cheng Wanli.

When the officials of the Yamen saw him, they were all surprised, they all knew that he had been arrested by Liang Shan, and now he had come back and captured Song Jiang, which was amazing!

Everyone is familiar with each other's colleagues, and they all stepped forward to salute and speak, and more importantly, they looked at Song Jiang, the famous leader of the green forest, pointing and discussing.

Song Jiang felt like a monkey, with an indifferent face on the surface and a very angry heart in his heart.

At this time, Cheng Wanli was in the back hall, flirting with Xinna's concubine Qingqing and me, and suddenly a blind servant broke in, and just shouted the words "Adult-" when he saw an inkstone smashed away, and quickly dodged away, and then heard Cheng Wanli shouting angrily: "Get out!" ”

The official shuddered and withdrew.

"Master, don't be angry, maybe people really have something important!" The concubine said angrily.

Cheng Wanli pinched the smooth and delicate face of the concubine, and said with a smile: "It's still my little beauty who is virtuous and knowledgeable, unlike that yellow-faced woman, who messes around all day long." You stand behind the screen, I called this killing to come in and ask, if there is really a big thing, if not, I will reward him with twenty boards! ”

The concubine got up from Cheng Wanli's thigh, straightened her messy clothes, stepped on small broken steps, twisted her thin waist, and hid behind the screen.

Cheng Wanli sorted out his clothes, straightened his black gauze hat, sat upright, looked majestic, and said in a deep voice: "Come in!" ”

The official cautiously came in and knelt on the ground.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Lord Qiyu, Dong Dujian is back!"

"Which Dong Du Supervisor - Dong Ping?" Cheng Wanli reacted, stood up and walked in front of the officer, and hurriedly said, "You said that Dong Ping's guy is back?" ”

"It's Dong Ping who is back!" The official was startled again and hurriedly replied.

Cheng Wanli snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and said: "This defeated army humiliates the general, and stoops to the thief, and dares to come back?" Command him to be arrested! ”

The official hesitated: "He caught a man and came back." ”

"He's still arresting? Who is it? Could it be that it is still Song Jiang! Hmph—" Cheng Wanli said disdainfully.

"It's Song Jiang!"

Thump!

Cheng Wanli almost fell down, "What? He caught Song Jiang and came back? Really? ”

"It's true, a lot of people are watching outside!"

"Quick! Pass him in! Bring Song Jiang in too! ”

"Yes!" The servants got up and went out and trotted all the way.

After a while, the official came in with Dong Ping and a short black man.

"My lord—" As soon as Dong Ping came in, he knelt down in front of Cheng Wanli, and cried loudly, "In order to capture Song Jiang, he did not hesitate to risk his life and go deep into the tiger's den!" I am in Cao Ying, and my heart is in Han, and I will never forget the teachings of adults every day——"

He howled for a long time, but there was no response, and when he looked up, he saw that Cheng Wanli was circling Song Jiang in a circle, looking Song Jiang up and down carefully, and said with some suspicion: "This black, short and stubborn thief with an army, is it Song Jiang?" ”

In his imagination, this famous gangster of the underworld and the wanted criminal of the imperial court should be a burly giant with a big waist and a round waist, a face full of meat, a fierce and vicious spirit, and can stop children from crying at night.

But the person in front of him is not only short, but also loyal and kind, and looks amiable and respectable.

"My lord, this is Song Jiang who is like a fake, how dare he be fake? Don't underestimate him, this person seems to be loyal, but in fact he is extremely treacherous, good at demagoguery, and has a black heart, he is a hero like Zhang Jiao! Dong Ping walked behind Cheng Wanli and reminded him.

"Hmm!" Cheng Wan turned to look at Dong Ping and said, "Dong Dujian, you have made a great contribution this time!" ”

Dong Ping hurriedly said modestly: "Where, it is all adults who strategize and command well, and they just obey orders!" ”

Cheng Wanli nodded with satisfaction, and then wondered: "It's just - after you were captured by Liangshan, I have already applied for the imperial court and re-asked to send a capital eunuch to take office to guard the mansion, and now, that person is already on the way to take office......"

Yes?

Dong Ping was stunned, and hurriedly said, "My lord, then, what should I do?" Is this position of the prisoner mine or his? ”

"Hey! It stands to reason that the new eunuch was officially appointed by the imperial court after you lost Liangshan, and of course he served as the governor of Dongping Mansion, as for you, you can only wait for the imperial court to rearrange the appointment......"

"Then what year and month will I wait until ......" Dong Ping cried with a sad face, in order to seek the position of this capital prison, he spent a lot of money to give gifts. Now if you want to get back into work, you can't continue to spend money.

Thinking of this, he glared at Song Jiang fiercely, if it weren't for him, how could he lose his official position.

"Don't worry! I have the best of both worlds! Cheng Wanli was disdainful in his heart, and smiled unhurriedly.

"Your Excellency, please speak!" Dong Ping hurriedly said.

"Because of the robbery of the law field in Jiangzhou, Song Jiang ruined the future of Cai Jiu's prefect, Taishi Cai Jing hated Song Jiang deeply, and now you captured him alive and made great contributions, Taishi will definitely look at you differently, if you can strike while the iron is hot and climb up to Cai Taishi, the future will be bright! I heard that Nanjing Yingtianfu is short of a commander......"

Dong Ping was overjoyed, "Thank you for your advice!" Please also say a few kind words for your humble duties! ”

"That's for sure, I will definitely ask the court for credit for you - just circling around in the capital, this ...... is indispensable" Cheng Wanli rubbed his thumb and forefinger together, making a movement that everyone was familiar with.

Dong Ping understood in seconds, but he was shy in his pocket, licked his face and said: "I understand, understand!" How much silver do you see? ”

"At least that's the number!" Cheng Wanli stretched out three fingers.

Dong Ping was taken aback: "Three thousand taels? ”

Cheng Wanli glanced at him with disdain, "Thirty thousand taels!" ”

Dong Ping almost fainted, and he couldn't get together so much silver by smashing the pot and selling iron!

"Dong Dujian, I regard you as a confidant, so I told you so bluntly. Although you captured Song Jiang alive and have merit, you have also had it, you have lost in Zhujiazhuang twice, lost countless ordnance, and the privy envoy Tong was furious, suspecting that you were deliberately supporting the enemy——"

"My lord, I don't dare to be humble, I am wronged!" Dong Ping was startled and hurriedly shouted.

Cheng Wanli said with a smile: "Of course I have to speak for you, don't worry, I still have a little thin noodles in front of Master Tong, as long as I make a little bit of attention and show a little respect, Lord Tong will not hold on to it." ”

"Besides, Taishi Cai's birthday is not far away, if you want to hug his thigh, why do you have to honor a birthday compendium, right?"

"Young man, take a long-term view, when you are promoted in the future, you will be able to earn back any amount of money!"

……

Dong Ping returned to his residence half happy and half worried, although he has accumulated some silver through means over the years, it is far from enough!

But the prospect described by Cheng Wanli is so attractive, the commander left behind in Nanjing, what a wonderful title, glorious ancestors!

Take a step back, the head of the Qingzhou soldiers and horses is not bad, the soldiers and horses in charge of Jingdong East Road, since Qin Ming left, that position has been empty.

Hey, everything costs money, but where does the money come from?

Dong Ping can't wait to grab it!

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he remembered someone.

Only he can help himself!

The more Dong Ping thought about it, the more right he became, and hurriedly sharpened the ink and laid the paper, and wrote a letter.
