Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 21

This package contained 30 taels of silver, seventy-eight percent of which were Earl Ying's daily savings.

Of course, this amount of silver is indeed not enough.

But in Earl Ying's opinion, it was enough as compensation for Wu Dalang to let Pan Jinlian go.

The Wuhan University was really uncomfortable in every possible way in this magnificent place.

It was as if there were thorns growing under his body. He was awkwardly sitting on the chair, swaying back and forth.

As soon as he heard Count Ying talking about a wealthy man in Qinghe County, he was attracted by his wife Pan Jinlian.

He was suddenly deafened, looking at Earl Ying in great shock, his mind went blank for a moment.

Earl Ying pointed to the embroidered package placed on the table and said.

"If you are willing to agree, you can accept this money for now. The official will never treat you badly."

Wu Dalang's facial features immediately distorted, he grabbed Earl Ying's hand firmly, and asked anxiously, "Who did it?"

Earl Ying put Wu Dalang's hand away and said, "Why are you so excited? I am also entrusted by others."

Wu Dalang was extremely anxious, so nervous that it seemed as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

But Wu Wen was so angry that he banged the table and said anxiously: "Who is it? You just need to tell me, I, the Wuhan University, will not let that person go!"

Earl Ying saw Wu Dalang's angry look and knew that he had the urge to disregard human life.

He thought: Humph, you can’t blame me for this. I’ve already given you a chance anyway, so why should you suffer without happiness?

The surrounding guests in the Guangyang Tower saw the Wu Da furious, and for a moment countless eyes focused on the pavilion.

Earl Ying shrugged his shoulders, hugged the embroidered bag in his arms, and said, "In that case, I'll report back."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly walked outside.

Wu Dalang sat alone in the pavilion, gritting his teeth and staring at Earl Ying's hurriedly leaving figure.

Everyone else saw that his fists were clenched like a pair of hammers.

After a while, he angrily slammed his fists on the table, stood up, picked up the pole and left Guangyang Tower.

The surrounding guests in Guangyang Tower were whispering, although they did not hear clearly what was said between Count Ying and Wu Dalang just now.

But there are a few people in Qinghe County who don't know that Count Ying is a helper in Ximen Qing's family.

And there are a few people in Qinghe County who don't know that there is a delicate young woman like Pan Jinlian in Wu Dalang's family.

Count Ying and Wu Dalang were at war with each other in Guangyang Tower. Everyone could guess with their heels that it was probably related to this woman.

The Wuhan University did not sell half a basket of cooking cakes despite all efforts today, so they hurried back home with their burdens on their backs.

After returning home, I saw Pan Jinlian, the woman, sitting in front of the dressing table, dressing up.

Wu Dalang put the burden on his shoulders on the ground angrily and walked quickly to the woman.

"What are you doing with your eyebrows and eyebrows these past three days?"

There was not much indignation in Wu Dalang's heart, but more nervousness and fear.

He felt deeply uneasy and feared that someone would snatch this woman away from him.

Seeing that Wu Da came back so early today, the woman immediately turned her head and looked at him coldly.

After a while, he slapped the dressing table with his jade hand and said sternly: "You are short-lived, why are you back so early today!"

"If you don't sell your cooking cakes outside, what can you eat and wear?"

Wu Dalang curled up and frowned and said: "My brother said before he left..." The woman immediately became angry and gritted her teeth and said: "Your brother, your brother, I can tell you, Hugh is here Mention your brother in front of me!"

Wu Dalang was worried, and all he thought about was Count Ying.

The scene just now in Guangyang Tower was like a steel nail, driven deeply into his mind.

This woman naturally knew it, but she didn't feel afraid.

This whole thing should have been planned by the earl, and she didn't need to worry about it.

Besides, she despised Wu Dalang from the bottom of her heart.

From the day she married Wu Dalang, she never looked at Wu Dalang seriously.

Wu Dalang saw that he and the woman couldn't even say a word to go together, so he got up and went back to his room to rest.

Ying'er, who was standing in the aisle, heard every word of the conversation between the couple clearly.

I was thinking about what happened at home in the past few days, and I wanted to tell Wu Dalang.

But because Pan Jinlian beat her and scolded her every now and then, the words came to her lips and she swallowed them back.

Let's say that after Wu Dalang returned to the house, he missed his brother Wu Song in every possible way.

Thinking of the two brothers who had suffered so much without a father or mother since they were young.

Thinking of all the hardships he had endured over the years for the sake of this family, yet one wrong word would provoke a beating and scolding from Pan Jinlian.

As I thought about it, I burst into tears.

After Earl Ying left Guangyang Tower, he went straight back to Ximen Qing's home.

In the first courtyard, I saw Ximen Qing, Xie Xida, Sun Tianhua and others sitting in the Furong Pavilion drinking.

I happened to be hungry, so I walked over.

In the past two days, Ximen Qing has put most of his thoughts on the herbal medicine shop, rarely at home.

After finally finishing the things at hand, I immediately gathered my friends and had some fun at home.

"Brother, how is the woman's matter going?"

Earl Ying sat at the table, picking up the leg of lamb and asked casually.

Ximen Qing frowned and said with doubt on his face: "It's really strange to say that I haven't seen that woman until now."

Xie Xida and Sun Tianhua were both startled. Xie Xi laughed and said, "Brother, I didn't say that."

"That woman is just the wife of Wu Dalang who has three inches of Ding Gu bark on Zishi Street. Isn't it easy to take her down?"

Sun Tianhua also said: "Hmph, how many days has Wu Dutou been taken out by my eldest brother? Why do you still care about Sanqi 21?"

Earl Ying can also see that the reason why Wu Dalang's family is able to gain a foothold in Qinghe County is now.

In fact, the main reason is to rely on Wu Song. Look at the ten friends in this meeting. When Wu Song was still in Qinghe County, all of them were as silent as a cicada.

As soon as Wu Song left, he immediately became full of heroic spirit.

Ximen Qing looked at Earl Ying with his eyes and asked, "Guanghou, I remember that I entrusted you to bring a few words to that little lady before."

"Did you and that little lady ever meet again after that?"

As soon as these words came out, Xie Xida, Zhu Rinian, and Sun Tianhua all looked at Count Ying.

Earl Ying felt guilty as a thief and his heart tightened.
