Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 97 Ximen Qing

After a long journey, Han Shizhong finally came to the boundary of Yanggu County, and is currently visiting Li Quan, the magistrate of Yanggu County.

Although Han Shizhong was a partial general of the fifth rank, and Li Quan was only a civil servant of the seventh rank, in the Song Dynasty, military generals were far inferior to civil servants in the Song Dynasty.So Han Shizhong had to salute Li Quan first, and Li Quan accepted the gift safely.

"I don't know why General Han is here?" Li Quan said.

"To tell you the truth, I came here under the orders of the Commander-in-Chief of Northwest Zhongshi Dao." Han Shizhong said.

"Oh!" Li Quan was taken aback.

Zhong Shidao is No. 1 in the Northwest Army today, with a very high status, equivalent to a prince of one party, and able to stand shoulder to shoulder with several big men in the court.Hearing that there was a military order to teach Zhong Dao, Li Quan suddenly became respectful and said, "What orders does Mr. Chong have?"

"Master Zhong ordered me to intercept and kill the Liangshan bandit Wu Dong, and please assist Master Li." Han Shizhong said.

"Ah..." Li Quan was stunned for a moment, and smiled wryly: "General Han, are you joking? I saw that there are only a thousand soldiers and horses outside you, and there are only a few dozen yamen servants in Yanggu County. , there are so many grassroots bandits in Liangshanpo, tens of thousands of people, how can we deal with Liangshanbo with this little army?"

Han Shizhong said: "My lord, I misunderstood. We are not going to encircle and suppress Liangshanbo, but to intercept and kill Wudong, the leader of the bandit in Liangshanbo. My lord may not know that last winter, Wudong went to Huazhou, Shaanxi, and now he is in Hedong. Return to Liangshanbo. There are at most a dozen guards around him, so it is not difficult to intercept him."

Hearing this, Li Quan felt relieved and said: "So that's the case. If this is the case, it's not difficult to kill him. General, if you need help, just tell me."

Han Shizhong said: "If you dare to ask my lord, there is a map of Yanggu County."

Now Li Quan took out the map of Yanggu County. In this era, the map is not accessible to ordinary people. Generally, only the top officials of a place can keep it, and it is a state secret.

Han Shizhong took the map, studied it carefully, and finally found that there is a place that must be passed to Liangshanpo - Dulonggang!

Han Shizhong memorized this place firmly, raised his head and said, "Master Li, do you have a portrait of the Liangshan bandit Kou Wudong?"

Li Quandao: "Naturally."

Yanggu County is not very far from Liangshanbo, so naturally it also shoulders the task of inquiring about Liangshanbo's information.And Wu Dong, the leader of Liangshanbo, was originally in Qinghe County next to Yanggu County, and many people knew Wu Dong. He had just rebelled, and his portraits were painted in nearby counties and counties.

Han Shizhong looked at Wu Dong's portrait carefully, and found that this man was very heroic. Although the portrait was simple, it still gave him a sense of boldness. He said immediately: "This man is good-looking, he should be a talent! It's a pity that such a talent can't do it for him. It is really a pity that it is used by the country, but turned into a bandit."

Li Quandao: "General Han doesn't know something, Wu Dong is different from ordinary grass bandits."

Han Shizhong asked a little strangely: "What's the difference?"

Li Quandao: "Originally, Liang Shanbo robbed houses and harassed the people, which was a disaster. But since Wu Dong came to Liangshan, Liang Shanbo no longer robbed houses and harassed the people. So in recent years, Liang Shanbo's reputation has improved. "

Han Shizhong frowned, and said coldly: "The more this is the case, the more it proves that this thief is not simple! He robbed his house and got nothing but a small profit. Such a grassroots bandit is nothing. But like Wu Dong, it is not for the sake of petty robbers. Li, but for the greater good! Mr. Zhong said that this thief is extraordinary. I didn’t believe it at first, but now I believe it... Mr. Li, do you know that just last winter, Wu Dong led his troops to Huazhou and defeated him? The 56-strong army of the imperial court defeated Tian Hu, the bandit from Hedong, and now occupies [-] counties in the five prefectures of Hedong!"

Li Quan was taken aback, and said, "Is there such a thing?"

Originally, Li Quan also looked down on Wu Dong, thinking that this grassroots bandit was worthless. Anyway, he would not rob his house, so the surrounding government would not take the initiative to encircle and suppress him. It is best for everyone to live in peace.He did hear some rumors that Liang Shanbo defeated the Koreans overseas, but Li Quan never really believed it, thinking it was impossible.Hearing Han Shizhong's words at this moment, he knew that Liang Shanbo had developed and grown, and he was able to do such a great thing.

"So this time, he must be killed, and he must not be allowed to live! Otherwise, sooner or later, it will be Da Song's disaster!" Han Shizhong said.

"General Han, if you really kill him, Liang Shanbo will definitely take revenge. At that time, our Yanggu County is so close to Liang Shanbo, I'm afraid something bad will happen?" Li Quan said after thinking for a moment.

"Don't worry about this. Mr. Zhong has already asked the court to send a large army to encircle and suppress Liangshanbo. I just came here to intercept Wudong one step ahead of time. Once Wudong dies, Liangshanbo will have no leader. It will be much easier to encircle and suppress Liangshanbo." Han Shizhong said. .

Hearing that a large army was coming, Li Quan felt relieved and said, "That's the best, the county will definitely cooperate with General Han and kill this thief."

Han Shizhong nodded, and said, "All the capitals and yamen servants in your county will be requisitioned. In addition, Mr. Li, is there anyone in your county who is familiar with Jiang Hu Dao?"

Li Quan thought for a while, and said: "There is such a person, a senior official from Ximen in the west of the city. It is said that he has many friends in the world."

Han Shizhong said: "Master Li, please bring this man and let him serve in our army."

Li Quan hurriedly responded, and then sent someone to invite Ximen Qing.

……

Ximen Qing is a well-known big shot in Yanggu County.

This person was originally from a wealthy family, and there was a huge pharmacy in his family.Later, Ximenqing's father passed away, and after Ximenqing took over the pharmacy, the business grew bigger and bigger, and his family property also increased, until it was out of control in the end.

There are three main streets in Yanggu County. Half of the shops in Xicheng Street belong to Ximenqing. Apart from these shops, there are many large yards and lots of land outside the county seat.

He has a very good relationship with the government of Yanggu County, and every year he sends thousands of taels of silver to Li Quan, and even the capital officials and yamen servants below benefit from him.

In addition, he also made many friends in the world and the underworld, and raised many powerful domestic slaves.He himself is also proficient in knives and sticks, and quite skilled in martial arts.

Over the years, Ximenqing has committed all sorts of crimes in Yanggu County. He has occupied many women from good families and destroyed many families. However, relying on the protection of the government and the help of his cronies, nothing happened.

It is now February, and the weather is not as cold as before. He practiced boxing in the yard for a while, feeling refreshed all over.Then he went back to the room, sat on the recliner, with a stove burning next to him, and a servant girl rubbed his shoulders.This maid is actually a girl from a kind family, but unfortunately Ximen Qing lost money in business, so she had to use her daughter to pay off the debt.

The maid looks pretty good, Ximen Qing rested for a while, lustful, hugged the maid, the maid screamed, Ximen Qing became more and more happy, he likes to see women with such terrified expressions.

At this moment, a loud shout came from outside: "Your Majesty Ximen is so excited!"

Ximen Qing was taken aback, and hurriedly put the maid down, and the maid left in a hurry, Ximen Qing looked into the distance, and saw a big man walking towards this side, he laughed and said: "My way is Who, it turns out to be Wangdutou, please sit down quickly, and I will serve you good tea."

This person is one of the capitals of Yanggu County, surnamed Wang, Wang Dutou said: "You don't need to sit down, and you don't need tea. I came to you this time according to the military order."

Ximen Qing asked in surprise, "A military order?"

Wang Dutou had come to Ximen Qing at this moment, and said: "Ximen official, there is a General Han who came from the northwest and was ordered to attack the Liangshan bandit Kou Wudalang, so I want you to serve in the army, and we will leave now."

Ximen Qing said: "Let me serve in the army? What can I do?"

Although Ximenqing is rich and powerful, he is an ordinary citizen after all, and it should not be his turn to serve in the army.

Wang Dutou said: "General Han heard that you have many friends in the Jianghu, and you are familiar with the Jianghu Road. That Wu Dong is also a figure in the Jianghu. He will pass by Yanggu County soon, and you may be able to know his whereabouts by then. .”

Hearing this, Ximenqing complained in his heart. He knew many friends in the Jianghu, but those he knew were not in the Jianghu.People like Wu Dong are big shots in the Jianghu, Megatron, how dare those people he knows deliberately spy on Wu Dong's whereabouts?

Besides, he didn't want to be involved in this incident.If Wu Dong dies at that time, Liang Shanbo will definitely hunt him down, and if Wu Dong does not die, he will not let him go.Getting involved in this matter is not beneficial to him at all, so he said with a bitter face, "Wang Dutou, we are old friends, so you just say that I am seriously ill and can't go."

Wang Du frowned, and said: "Your Excellency Ximen, this is a military order, General Han must take you there, please forgive me for not being able to help you with this matter."

Ximen Qing had no choice but to follow Wang Dutou to Han Shizhong's army.
