Chapter 7: Rice Field Affairs
After deciding on Du Bao's affairs, Zhu Biao, Wu Zhi, and Du Bai had another meal and talked all night. Early the next morning, he was ready to lead Du Bai to bid farewell to Wu Zhi.
When he was walking out, he heard a coquettish voice of Pan Niangzi outside. "You live woman, why are you so flustered."
"Something's wrong, ma'am!" I heard the anxious voice of a young man.
Zhu Biao and Wu Zhi listened carefully in the hall, and when they heard him say that something was wrong, they hurriedly walked outside the hall. The person outside is not someone else, but Wu Song's companion when he traveled to the rivers and lakes in the past, a person from Jiankang Mansion, the sixth in the family, because of his fast movements on weekdays, walking like the wind, often disappearing as soon as he slips through the smoke, and is called a living flash woman on the rivers and lakes - Wang Dingliu.
This Wang Dingliu hurriedly stepped forward when he saw Wu Zhi come out, and then noticed that Zhu Biao was also here, but his originally anxious heart was slightly relieved and said that something had happened.
It turned out that since October, a white-fronted insect with hanging eyes has come to Jingyanggang out of nowhere, injuring many pedestrians passing by in Yanggu and Qinghe counties. This big insect is extremely ferocious and extremely cunning, Wu Song led Wang Dingliu for many days and nights, and finally caught the opportunity last night.
Wu Song and Wang Dingliu are two, Wang Dingliu, who is flexible and fast, is responsible for attracting the attention of the big insect, and Wu Song, who is strong in means, is responsible for fighting with the tiger, tossing for most of the night, seeing that the big insect is about to be exhausted, but a large group of people came to Qinghe County, saying that they are also coming to catch the big insect, the two parties quarreled, and they did not check for a while, but the big insect was new again, and it ran away in a few jumps.
When the gang saw that the big insect had run away, they wanted to come to trouble Wu Song and Wang Dingliu. Wu Song is so short-tempered, seeing that his hard work for half a month has run away, he is already angry, and there are still people to provoke, how can he swallow his anger, Wang Dingliu can't stop him, and fight with the gang of people in Qinghe County. In the end, it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, Wu Songzong is strong in martial arts, but he can't really kill him, and he can't help but be a little restrained when he fights, and the result is that he is caught.
Wang Dingliu saw that something was wrong, and ran out of Jingyanggang in a flash, but he didn't go far, and saw that the gang was escorting Wu Song to Qinghe County, so he followed from a distance, all the way to the county government prison in Qinghe County. Seeing that Wu Song was just imprisoned and nothing serious, he hurriedly rushed back to report the news.
After listening to what Wang Dingliu said, Zhu Biao pondered for a moment, looked at Wu Zhi, and said obscurely: "If I remember correctly, this Qinghe County Commander Lu Zhiyuan is the path of the great eunuch Yang Jian." ”
Wu Zhi nodded, and said angrily: "But it's like this, that guy doesn't want the face of the scholar, and he actually recognized the eunuch as the ancestor and got the position of the Qinghe County Order." The old thief Yang Jian harmed people a lot, put up rice fields, legislated to claim the people's land deeds, and forcibly rented the stolen fields to the people, making the Jingxi Road and Huaibei Road areas, the people's grievances boiled, and the people were displaced. ”
Rice field affairs?
Wu Zhi's words reminded Zhu Biao, combined this string of information, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he whitened the crux of it, and said solemnly to Wu Zhi: "Brother, it seems that there is more than one traitor who wants to take you away from the position of the commander of Yanggu County!" ”
"You're saying this is coming at me?" Wu Zhi asked when he heard this, his brows furrowed into a Sichuan character.
Zhu Biao bowed slightly, and said: "That Yang Jian carried out rice field affairs on Jingxi Road and Huaibei Road, and he looted countless people's fat and people's ointment, and it was when the murderous appearance was revealed, but he was blocked by his brother when he arrived in Yanggu County last year, and the old thief wanted to kick his brother's roadblock away, I am afraid that it has been planned for a long time." ”
The atmosphere was a little solemn for a while, and Pan Niangzi on the side saw that there was something in the words of the two, and after thinking for a while, she bowed to Zhu Biao, and said sincerely: "San Lang, although I don't know what you are talking about, my sister knows that the matter should be not small. Da Lang he can only be an official, and he is not proficient in these ghost tricks, my sister knows that you are the most thoughtful person, please help my family Da Lang. ”
Seeing this, Zhu Biao hurriedly supported Pan Niangzi and comforted: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, I have been friends with my brother for many years, and we have long been one with each other, my brother's business is my business, sister-in-law and relax, it is not difficult to solve this matter." ”
"Really?" Pan Niangzi looked up at Zhu Biao's eyes and asked weakly.
"Of course, my sister-in-law still doesn't believe me, with my name and relationship in this Shandong territory, I can't do anything!" Zhu Biao looked at Pan Niangzi and replied affirmatively.
Seeing this scene, Wu Zhi had a touch of tenderness on his face, stepped forward and grabbed Pan Niangzi's hand, patted it gently, and said lightly: "It's not a big deal, don't worry, you don't believe me, you also need to trust San Lang, you can see that he can't do anything over the years, you go and rest, San Lang and I will handle it properly." ”
Pan Niangzi listened to what the two said sincerely, and her hanging heart was put down a lot, and she bowed and went back to the inner hall to rest.
Seeing Pan Niangzi leaving, Wu Zhi sighed, how could he not know that what Zhu Biao said was to appease his wife and involve the traitors in the DPRK, how could it be solved so easily. I'm afraid that Wu Song's matter is just an appetizer, and the real disaster is still waiting for me in Tokyo.
Wu Zhi asked Zhu Biao, "Is it tricky?" What do I need to do? ”
originally thought that the matter of Xuanfu was that he and Mr. Wen did not notice it for a while, and was taken advantage of, but he never thought that Yanggu County's fat had attracted a group of jackals.
With the gradual unfolding of the main plot in the Water Margin, there are more and more things happening everywhere in the world, and Zhu Biao, who was originally in Zhizhu's hands, gradually found that many things began to become uncontrollable.
Zhu Biao pondered for a moment, and then said: "Brother don't come forward in this matter, I'll go to Qinghe County first to get Second Brother Wu out, that Lu County Ling is an insatiable person, but it is easy to deal with, what you really need to pay attention to is the matter of my brother going to Beijing after the year." Whether it is Yang Jian or other people behind the scenes, they need to be careful when the time comes. ”
Wu Zhi nodded when he heard this, looked up at the sky, and didn't say anything more, and handed over the matter to Zhu Biao to deal with.
In this turbid world, the official family is stupid, and the power and treachery are in charge, which makes people want to be a parent official who asks for the people's lives with peace of mind, but they can't do it at ease.
After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he paused, and then said to Wang Dingliu on the side: "Liulang, you are fast, now go to Zhujia Restaurant to find Lu Fang and Guo Sheng, and let Lu Fang quickly return to Zhujiazhuang and inform Mr. Wen of this matter; You and Guo Sheng went to the Jade Street Money Village to find the Flying Tiger - Hu Cheng, he recognized Guo Sheng as my personal entourage, and asked him to pay 20,000 yuan to come out, and then the two of you took the money and rushed to Qinghe County as soon as possible to meet. ”
Wang Dingliu answered, and with a few arrow steps, he flashed out of the county office.
Zhu Biao explained some things to Wu Zhi again, and then led Du Yan out of the county office, and the two rode fast horses and galloped towards Qinghe County.
