Chapter Ninety-Seven: Merry Twin Spearmen

"I wish the officials a noble geng this year?"

"Twenty-two years old!"

"Twenty-two? So young! Why are you not married? Mrs. Li asked curiously.

Zhu Long half-jokingly said: "Because I haven't met such a beautiful girl as Mrs. Li!" ”

"Poor mouth, I thought you were a good person!" Mrs. Li's face turned red, and she glanced at him in shame, which made Zhu Long almost lose his mind.

They are all adults, lonely men and widows, alone in a room, Zhu Long's heart is pounding, Mrs. Li is also flushed, sitting on the edge of the bed with her head down, and the room suddenly has a charming and ambiguous atmosphere.

"Ahem! Mrs. Lee, I'll go out and see the brethren, and then tell the two servants to come and clean up!" ”

Zhu Long ran out in a panic, he would make a big mistake if he stayed any longer!

Mrs. Li looked up at his back in astonishment, stunned, and then burst out laughing.

Zhu Long hurried out, found the steward, and asked him to send two reliable servants to Madame Li to listen to the call.

Then he came to the garrison and gave him a cordial greeting and learned about the surrounding situation.

The general of the garrison was Xie Bao, and according to him, the imperial court had never come again, and they were mainly guarded against some scoundrels and petty thieves in the vicinity.

These people want to go into the Zhuangzi and steal things, after all, Lijiazhuang is so rich, it is enough to steal anything.

Zhu Long told him to take precautions and strengthen his vigilance.

After staying in Lijiazhuang for a whole day, Zhu Long escorted Mrs. Li back.

Neither of them dared to make eye contact with each other, as long as their eyes touched together, they dodged like an electric shock, but they couldn't help but look at it secretly.

Mrs. Li was a little panicked, and it was a strange feeling—but it was beautiful and fascinating.

has been married for almost ten years, and she has never had such a wonderful feeling with her husband Li Ying.

They are the orders of their parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the two have always been lukewarm. After being married for many years and having no children, Li Ying accepted a few more concubines, and the relationship was even colder.

Now that Li Ying is finished, she has to think about her future. After all, it is not a long-term solution. Women are like vines, they have to climb the big tree, so it is better to choose the tallest tree.

Zhu Long is young and handsome, smart and decisive, she likes it when she looks at it, but after all, she is a married woman, and she feels ashamed to get close to him.

Mrs. Li's thoughts were very chaotic, for a while she felt sorry for her life experience, for a while she was worried about her future life, and for a while she opened the curtain to peek at Zhu Long's back. The cold Zhu Long looked back, as if frightened, she hurriedly lowered the curtain, her heart was beating like a deer, shy and sweet.

After returning to Zhujiazhuang, they separated, looking at the disappearing shadow of the Yiren, Zhu Long was stunned. However, he quickly collected his mood and continued to devote himself to the cause of rebellion with a bright future.

Time flies, summer goes to autumn, and in the blink of an eye it enters August.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, a news came out in Dongping Mansion - on August 18, the head of Liangshan, the famous gangster of the rivers and lakes, and the underworld giant - Song Jiang will be executed and beheaded in the Dongmen vegetable market to correct the national law!

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a sensation and detonated the soul of the citizens who were eating melons, and everyone talked about it, and the streets and alleys were talking about it.

Cheng Wanli played the imperial court, saying that the people everywhere were jubilant, gongs and drums were noisy, and they thanked the government for exterminating the thieves and keeping the party safe! The emperor's grace is vast, and longevity is boundless!

Unlike the Fangla Uprising, which was deeply sympathetic and supported by the people of Jiangnan, Liangshan's gang caused great panic among the local people.

They are not good people, they are either robbers or ruffians, or they are gangsters.

Even people like Chao Gai and Song Jiang who have innocent family backgrounds and legitimate occupations are both black and white, even before going to Liangshan, ordinary people dare not provoke them.

The "heroes" of Liangshan have become a great hidden danger to the surrounding public security, and the good people live in their shadows.

Unlike the deceived court, the common people knew that it was Zhujiazhuang who exterminated Liangshan, and they were very grateful to Zhujiazhuang.

Zhujiazhuang is a local force in the hometown, which has existed for hundreds of years, and now it is only a little stronger, and the people still recognize and accept it psychologically.

Zhu Long is also looking forward to the arrival of this day like the people who eat melons.

Song Jiang is not dead, after all, it is a hidden danger.

This person is hypocritical and cunning, treacherous and loyal, and is the best at demagoguery, and he is a hero.

He is now a dragon trapped in the shallows, as long as the wind and clouds meet, he can make waves! This kind of person is still dead and clean!

He specially wrote to Dong Ping in person, reminding him to pay more attention.

Dong Ping has been proud of the spring breeze recently!

With the merit of capturing Song Jiang alive, coupled with the filial piety of a birthday gang, he successfully hugged Cai Jing's thigh and was appointed as the head of the Qingzhou soldiers and horses, which is the position that Qin Ming once held.

What kind of official is the commander of Qingzhou soldiers and horses?

This has to start with the political and military system of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Politically, there are two levels of prefecture (government, military) and county, and there are also "roads" in supervision areas above the state.

The governance of Jingdong East Road is located in Qingzhou, so the commander of Qingzhou soldiers and horses can not only manage Qingzhou, but also lead the forbidden army of the entire Jingdong East Road and eight states.

This is much higher than the level of the capital supervisor of Dongping Mansion, and it is a big leap in Dong Ping's career!

Cheng Wanli was impressed by Dong Ping and agreed to marry his daughter to Dong Ping, and the wedding date was set for the ninth day of September, which was intended to last forever. This day is the Double Ninth Festival, which has the meaning of growing old together.

Dong Ping was overjoyed, so he stayed in Dongping Mansion, planning to take his wife to work with him after getting married.

He doesn't have to worry about blaming, on the one hand, he has Cai Jing to protect him, and on the other hand, Cheng Wanli has been on the table in the imperial court, saying that Song Jiang has a lot of henchmen, and he was robbed of the law field in Jiangzhou at the beginning, and now he has to prevent it, so he asked Dong Ping, the former capital supervisor, to stay in Dongping Mansion temporarily, so as to town the law field.

Dong Ping can't wait to get rid of Zhujiazhuang now—who knows what will happen to these people in the future?

He was young and had a bright future, but he didn't want to be in the company of these dangerous people.

So when he received Zhu Long's letter, he was very irritable, and after reading the letter, he smiled disdainfully, lit a candle, and burned the letter!

There is a lesson from the Jiangzhou robbery of the law field, and now the whole Dongping Mansion attaches great importance to the safety of the law field, and the new Dongping Mansion Governor Guan Sheng inspects the execution ground all day long.

According to Guan Sheng's opinion, the army was under martial law and the common people were not allowed to approach, so that those who wanted to rob the Dharma Field could not blend in.

His proposal was rejected by Cheng Wanli without hesitation, and he severely criticized him.

On the day of the beheading, the imperial court would send officials from the Criminal Department to supervise the records.

This is an opportunity for Cheng Wanli to perform.

The execution scene must be crowded with people, and everyone will watch it!

It should play the role of beheading one person and deterring a large area, so that those rangers who are ready to move in their hearts will be afraid, and they will not dare to make waves and fight against the imperial court.

Guan Sheng had no choice but to do his work carefully and thoroughly, and every day he took his righteous brother Hao Siwen together to feel every road and alley around the vegetable market clearly. Then what would you do if you were going to rob the Dharma Field?

He ordered some small alleys to be temporarily blocked, leaving only a few roads in and out, and selected some elite soldiers, ready to let them blend in the crowd in civilian clothes and with hooks and ropes.

For Guan Sheng's moves, Dong Ping scoffed! He knows best that Liangshan has been destroyed, and the dead are dead, and the fallen are down.

Now, the only one who can rob the law field and rescue Song Jiang is Zhu Long, but Zhu Long can't wait for Song Jiang to die quickly!

Of course, Dong Ping will not tell Cheng Wanli and Guan Sheng these inside stories.

If Cheng Wanli found out that he didn't need him Dong Ping, this old fox might have some ideas, postpone the marriage date, and urge him to go to Qingzhou to take office.

As for Guan Sheng, Dong Ping hated this person from the bottom of his heart and never gave him a good face.

Because when he was undercover in Liangshan, Guan Sheng replaced his official position, which made him feel guilty.

Moreover, Guan Sheng bears the name of his ancestor, has a long beard, keeps a straight face all day long, resists a Qinglong Yanyue knife, and pretends to watch "Spring and Autumn" when he has nothing to do...... I really think of myself as Guan Yu!

If it hadn't happened to him, he would have been able to pass a small Pudong inspection and be promoted to a capital supervisor? It's not like it's your own light!

Dong Ping got rid of the troubles in his mind, went to the street to buy some rouge gouache, and sent it to his fiancée, Miss Cheng Jia.

Taking advantage of Cheng Wanli's office in the lobby, he quietly came to the backyard of the prefect's yamen, and the gatekeepers knew that he had been promoted, and he was Cheng Wanli's fast son-in-law, how dare he stop him, smiled and saluted, and let him in.

Dong Ping threw a few taels of silver to them, and in the busy thank-you of the family, he didn't look back, and walked directly inside.

He was familiar with the road and went straight to Miss Cheng's boudoir. He is handsome and graceful, and his rhetoric makes Miss Cheng happy, and the two of them grind their ears and temples, crooked and greasy together.

But when he wanted to go further, he was resolutely resisted by Miss Cheng.

He was in a hurry, and said kindly: "Miss, we are all about to get married, but a few days earlier and a few days later, why not?" The love of men and women is the nature of living beings, the way of nature, why should Miss Cheng go against the sky.

I, Dong Ping, promise that I will be good to Miss in the future and live up to Miss Zhen's sincerity. ”

Miss Cheng was also confused and almost moved by him, but the education she received since she was a child allowed her to keep Qingming and the bottom line.

"It's so inconsistent with etiquette and law, it insults my Cheng family, please Dong Gongzi respect himself!" Miss Cheng's tone was solemn, Dong Ping was not good at coming, so she had to sit upright, sullen.

The two talked a few words, but there was no longer such a charming and sweet atmosphere as just now, Dong Ping felt bored and got up to leave.

Seeing this, Miss Cheng didn't know if she was doing the right thing, and she felt a little bit of gain and loss in her heart, and finally sighed.

Dong Ping came out of Miss Cheng, his evil thoughts were not satisfied, and he planned to go to Goolan Courtyard to drink flower wine, so he just lowered his head and hurried to the road, and when he turned an intersection, he collided with a petite woman.

"Ouch!" The woman screamed and fell to the ground.

Dong Ping looked at it, but it was Cheng Wanli's concubine, beautiful and moving, charming like a flower, Dong Ping had already seen it.

"Shen Niang, what's wrong with you?" Dong Ping hurriedly asked.

"My feet hurt!" Shen Niang's brows frowned, which was distressing.

Dong Ping hurriedly squatted down, reached out to touch her feet, and said, "Where does it hurt?" ”

"Here!" Shen Niang pointed to her calf, Dong Ping looked nervous, reached out and stroked, touched it a few times, and asked, "Can you stand up now?" ”

Shen Niang blushed, pursed her lips, and shook her head.

"Then I'll take you back!" Dong Ping said righteously, and after speaking, he hugged Shen Niang into his arms and went to her room......
