Wan Tianliang, the son of the Wan family, squatted on the grass and laughed out loud abruptly. He didn't practice martial arts, and his internal breath was insufficient, so he stopped laughing for a long time. Then he said loudly: "Yes, I am Wan Tianliang, the nephew of Old Man Wan! Jing Mingyi, these two people have not injured your subordinates, for the sake of my face, this matter will be stopped, and no longer investigated, how about it?"

Jing Mingyi said coldly: "Since Wan Gongzi has spoken, then I will spare you and follow the rules of the rivers and lakes." When Lao Liu and Ma Guangliu heard this, they glanced at each other, and they both saw that each other's faces turned pale.

Wan Tianliang said: "What are the rules of the rivers and lakes?" Jing Mingyi did not answer. Wan Tianliang turned to Lao Liu and asked, "Old Liu, you tell me." ”

Old Liu Tou smiled bitterly: "This ...... I really don't dare to hide it from my son, there are rules in the rivers and lakes, if you offend others, apologizing and admitting mistakes is secondary, but there is no lack of courtesy. ”

Wan Tianliang said with a smile: "My son's family has a big business, what kind of gift do you want? You two go back to the house with me, and I will help you prepare it tomorrow." ”

Lao Liu said: "The son misunderstood, this gift is from the two of us, but others can't help it." Wan Tianliang frowned: "Oh, there are gifts that money can't buy? Lao Liu said: "It's better that the son still doesn't know." Wan Tianliang said: "Old Liutou, when did you twist and pinch like this, you just said and I listened." Lao Liu said: "It is to take a knife and chop the left hand and the two fingers of the ring." ”

Wan Tianliang was startled, and said in a trembling voice: "There is such a thing?"

He secretly thought in his heart: Jing Mingyi spoke like this, presumably not to sell the face of the old man, and Lao Liu and Ma Guangliu's fingers could not be saved. I will be soft with him, and he will not embarrass me when he knows my noble status. These two darts have no eyes, and they deserve to be unlucky.

Thinking of this, he looked at Lao Liu and Ma Guangliu, and saw that the two of them were also looking at him, with a pleading look in their eyes. Suddenly, I thought: Although these two dog minions are not very strong in martial arts, they are also decent and thoughtful to follow and serve. I will protect the two of them from today's misfortune, how should the two of them be grateful to me? I think this Jing Mingyi is just a dog under the hands of Old Man Wan, and now that I have come to Wuxiang City, I have actually passed on to Old Man Wan as a son. Hehe, from now on, Old Man Wan has become Daddy Wan, why should I be afraid of his watchdog?

Wan Tianliang coughed twice, and shouted at Jing Mingyi: "General Jing, the rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, what is the contamination of our official identity? Master Wan, no, Daddy Wan told me in advance to bring two or three personal attendants so that I could be taught to take care of them. General Jing said that he wanted to cut off his fingers, which would not look good in front of Daddy Wan. He assumed the identity of Wan Junshou to make Jing Ming easy to understand and give him a little thin face.

Jing Mingyi didn't have the slightest scruples, he said coldly: "What kind of official status are you Wan Tianliang? You are also worthy of saying such things to me? What kind of friendship do you have with me?" After that, he picked up the steel knife and threw it in front of Ma and Liu, and said, "I don't embarrass you." Wan Tianliang trembled with anger.

Ma and Liu glanced at each other, and Lao Liu said: "Brother, let's eat this meal, we have to make a decision." "Take the knife and swing it to your left hand and cut off two fingers. When he was bleeding, he tore open his clothes and bandaged his wounds. Jing Mingyi said: "I'm still a man." He turned to the soldier behind him and ordered, "Give him some medicine." A pawn took out the gold sore medicine from his bosom and handed it over. Lao Liu took the Jinchuang medicine and said: "Thank you, it's better to meet than to be famous, my Lao Liu will know Xiaoshanjun in the future!"

When Ma Guangliu saw Jing Mingyi's fierce eyes shooting at him, he couldn't help but feel cowardly, and he wanted to run away if he started to do light work. Jing Mingyi picked up a stone, raised his hand and struck it, hitting Ma Guangliu's vest. Ma Guangliu let out an "ah" and fell to the ground. Jing Mingyi stepped forward, threw down a steel knife, and said, "We have to make a judgment after all." Ma Guangliu lay on the ground and ate a mouthful of dirt, he panicked and said vaguely: "I'll cut off my fingers! Hurriedly picked up the steel knife and slashed to his left hand. Unexpectedly, he was not ruthless enough, and when he went down, his fingers were not broken, but he screamed in pain, became angry, and fainted.

Seeing this, Jing Mingyi sighed: "Is this a mess? "Lift your feet and go. Lao Liu squatted on one side, thinking secretly: "This cowardly faints, can you not chop your fingers? Why should I teach Ma Lao Liu to take advantage of such a bargain?" The pawn watched from the side, dumbfounded.

Wan Tianliang was beside him, trembling with fright. Jing Mingyi ignored him, led the soldiers to evacuate the people, and quietly stepped forward and entered the city alone.

It was almost dusk and the sun was about to set, casting a golden color. Jing Mingyi saw that the idlers had dispersed, so he summoned a group of generals and said: "Everyone saw it today, I, Jing Mingyi, taught him to chop off his fingers, and he came according to the rules of the rivers and lakes." I don't keep the laws of my dynasty and use lynching without permission, and this general can't do anything. This time, I packed my luggage and said goodbye to everyone. ”

Zhong Shenxiu said: "The general is leaving, and I will follow the general." Jing Mingyi smiled and said: "What are you talking about! You are from a famous family, you have learned a good martial arts, you became a captain at a young age, and your future is limitless, what is good about following me? I look forward to you having a good future, and I can't say that I will defect to you in the future!" Zhong Shenxiu lowered his head and was silent.

The old lieutenant said in a deep voice: "Brother Jing, you got a position as a general, how much blood, sweat, and thought did you have?" Others don't know, but you speculated in the camp to curry favor with your boss, don't you know in your own heart?" Jing Ming listened easily, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother said that I was joking, I didn't just want to avoid trouble, I really saw it clearly." There are many twists and turns in the officialdom, and how many of them are good men who really defend the country and serve the people? If this official does not do anything, I will wander the rivers and lakes by myself, and only then will I show my true character. ”

Zhong Shenxiu said: "Today is General Jing to protect me, the general is not wrong, I will give Wanjun Shoujin tomorrow." As soon as he said this, the soldiers around him laughed. Zhong Shenxiu said: "Did I say something wrong?" The elder lieutenant said: "Brother Zhong, you are innocent and have a clear mind, but there are some things that should not be said, just think about it in your heart." Zhong Shenxiu had a puzzled look on his face.

The old lieutenant said, "General Jing, do you have a place to go on this trip?" Jing Mingyi nodded and said, "My master is an old ghost man in Wusheling Ridge, and he hasn't visited him for a long time. I should have met him. The lieutenant pondered for a long time, took out a few gold leaves from his arms, and said, "Brother, it is inevitable that there will be some use on the road. ”

Jing Ming knew that he still had a seriously ill old mother in bed at home, and he was not wealthy. He said that brotherhood was heavy, and it was difficult to push back, so he accepted these gold leaves. Seeing this, all the soldiers remembered General Jing's generosity and friendship, and they took out their pockets of money and gave them to the general. Jing Mingyi said with a smile: "The affection of the brothers, there is no need to mention it." Then he picked up a copper coin and said, "I keep it in my heart." ”

Zhong Lingxiu stepped forward, took out a money bag, stuffed it into Jing Mingyi's arms, and said, "If you push it back, you won't be my good general!" Jing Mingyi accepted it with a smile. Everyone talked for a while, and Jing Mingyi arched his hand and said: "If the mountains don't turn around, the brothers will break up." From now on, I am a vulgar man who breaks into the rivers and lakes, and everyone is an official of the official family, we may not meet each other, and we are still brothers when we meet!" The soldiers said: "It's still a brother!"

After saying that, he was about to disperse, Jing Mingyi grabbed the old lieutenant and said, "Brother, don't go, I have a few words to talk to you." ”
