Water Margin Survival

The dim light from a black-glazed oil lamp cast a gloomy light on a middle-aged man beside the table who was full of worries. He was staring blankly at the void, unaware that the woman beside him had put down his face. The purple short curtain around the corner of the bed, but the lady turned her head and urged: "Officials, it's two watches, it's time to rest! Don't you have to sit in the hall tomorrow morning?"

The frowning man sighed, he broke his mind from his troubles, and glanced at the charming lady, but he really couldn't get any interest. He shook his head and said, "But I can't sleep. Let's rest first!"

Seeing this, the noble lady didn't sleep anymore, lifted her skirt lightly, sat down next to the man and said: "The official has been restless for the past two days, but it's because of the birth date!"

I didn't want the woman's words to reveal her husband's heart disease, but the man sighed and said: "But why? Those two Marquis of Yu relied on the power of Cai Xianggong and Liang Zhongshu to force me to hand over Chao Gai today. Tomorrow I will be forced to hand over Chao Gai, only to force him! But where am I going to get this man for them!"

"Listen to the people below, didn't Chao Gai run away? Now there are three robbers in the prison, and they just took them all away, just urging my officials to do something! These two dogs are just for running errands." , How dare you act presumptuously in front of my husband! How come my husband is also the parents of Yizhou, and the court officials! I think these two came from the Zhongshu Mansion, so they are not dignified!" the woman said angrily.

Nazhizhou also scolded after hearing the words: "He has two dog-eyed things. He lost his birth date when he escorted him, so he came to blame me! He didn't know me when he got there! It's all right now, the errands are messed up and only care about them." God forced me! How can there be such a reason in the world! And that guy Chao Gai! I used to think he was a sensible person, but when he became confused and killed people, he did not make a good move, but he committed the crime in Jeju! As the saying goes, if a rabbit doesn't eat the grass beside the nest, will he die if he walks a few tens of miles north? If he goes to the border of Yunzhou, how can he tell me to sit on the wax like this!"

"Officials, don't be angry!" Seeing that the husband was angry, the woman hurriedly persuaded him.

"Don't be angry, can I not be angry! I haven't lived a peaceful life in the past six months. I thought that the state capital on Jingdong Road is rich in oil and water. I finally spent money to entrust someone to find this state official. Miss me Is it easy for Han Chuang to study hard for ten years? What kind of Liangshan Wang Lun was born, and the sky never stops! Either it ruined the life of a big family in Yuncheng County, or someone from Rencheng County came to sue, or the county magistrate of Jinxiang handed it over. Urgent paperwork! Except for my state city, where in the other three counties has not been harassed by him, the combined loss of money and food may not be millions of dollars? Why do you say these robbers are always staring at me!" The middle-aged man People said angrily.

"That's right, I'm not the only Jeju next to this water pond, so why are you always fighting against my officials!" The woman scolded.

But at this time, the magistrate laughed at himself and said: "I think the life of the magistrate of Yunzhou is not much better than mine. The old captain of Shouzhang County under him even asked the thieves to take his head. What's more, he ruled several other counties!"

When the woman heard this, she covered her mouth in fright and said, "That thief dared to ruin the life of the imperial court official!? Then why didn't you report the prefect and officials of Yunzhou to the imperial court? Tell Tokyo to send a large army to suppress this thief! !"

That Zhizhou looked at his wife with hatred for iron and steel, and said, "Childish! Is it useful to report? What is the surname of the prince who is in power in front of the current emperor? His surname is Cai! Do you think it is Fan Wenzheng or Wang Jinggong? When you report it, he will be impatient. Don't worry about the country and the people, and then send a large army to eliminate thieves for the country?! Don't you think about it, these thieves didn't raise the banner of rebellion to occupy the prefectures and counties. Before it's too late, who cares about these things? When I read Kuaima Jibao, the first thing that comes to mind is that your officials and I are extremely incompetent, useless, and will only cause trouble, and make the smoky atmosphere under control! You say I Why do you have nothing to do with the Yunzhou magistrate?"

Seeing that she had said the wrong thing, the woman angered her husband, and hurriedly said: "Then why didn't the official send troops to destroy him? Don't we have thousands of soldiers in the city of Jeju?"

"Thousands of soldiers and horses!? There are thousands of soldiers and horses, but there are thousands of soldiers and horses on the roster! Last time I sent Huang An to wipe out the bandits, two commanding officers couldn't get together 1000 men! One thief was missing, On the contrary, it was all paid!" Na Zhizhou became angry when he thought of this, and said angrily.

This is not provoked by Chao Gai. Originally, you were a thief yourself, but you said you wanted to suppress the thief for no reason. For a few dollars, he actually held his nose and accepted it.

"This kind of useless person, why don't the officials report to the court, dismiss him, and send a strong general to relieve the officials' worries!" the woman said.

"You don't think it's messy enough, do you? Do you understand what it means to report good news but not bad news? If such bad things are still pushed up, Huang An will be unlucky if he breaks out, but it will do me no good. Didn’t it implicate me? Am I worthy of being buried with him, Huang An? No, I have to wipe his butt afterward, so I have to stuff all the prisoners in his barracks to make up for it!” Na Zhizhou said angrily.

The woman was speechless, she lowered her head, bit her red lips and muttered: "It's better to spend money to change to another state capital, this Jeju is really not a place for people to stay!"

"Change, change, Cai Jing's post to inquire about crimes will arrive in a short time, and I don't know what to do when the time comes! Oh, what's the use of telling you this! Go to sleep, go to sleep!" Na Zhizhou cursed angrily, and The woman took a rest.

He didn't know how long he slept in a daze, but the Jeju magistrate had a dream. He dreamed that someone was holding a knife on his neck.This man would change his face for no reason, one moment he looked like Liang Zhongshu, another moment he turned into Cai Jing's appearance, and another moment he turned into the dog faces of those two Yuhou.At this moment, his neck felt cold, and Na Zhizhou struggled out of his sleep dripping with cold sweat, and suddenly saw a person sitting on the head of the bed. Na Zhizhou was so frightened that his heart beat into his throat, and he said in shock: "You...you...you Who is it? Trespassing in the government office in the middle of the night, okay... You are so brave, do you know who I am? Could it be that I will die!" At this time, the woman who was sleeping next to him also woke up, seeing his father-in-law sifting chaff like chaff Shaking, seeing another strong man sitting in front of the bed, he fainted from fright in an instant.

Seeing this, the thin man chuckled, grabbed a lock of hair on his hand and said, "The magistrate of Jeju, what a great name! I'm scared to death, sir! Look at what I'm holding in my hand, how dare you follow me like that?" Let me tell you, I should have taken your head just now!"

Nazhizhou was shocked when he heard the words, thinking that he dared to trespass even though he knew his identity, but it wasn't that good people don't come, and those who come are not good?Seeing that the hair on the strong man's hand looked familiar, he hurriedly touched his chin, which didn't matter, but it made his hair stand on end in fright, not wanting his proud long beard to scream The man in front of him had cut off his head without anyone noticing it, and when he heard what he said about cutting off his own head, he panicked and begged: "A man! A man! You... who are you, what are you doing here at my house? "

The thin man smiled and said: "This way there is an atmosphere of conversation! Isn't it? If you just use your name to scare me, maybe I'm afraid in my heart. With a shake of this hand, the knife will fall on you, and what will happen?" Things are going to go wrong!"

How could Zhizhou say anything after hearing the words, he just begged for mercy, the man smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have no grievances or enmities with you, what do you want your life for? I just want to ask Zhizhou Xianggong for a favor!"

Na Zhizhou felt relieved when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Please speak, please speak, good man, please speak! I will definitely do what the lower officials can do!"

"A few of my brothers were imprisoned by you, and you asked the magistrate to let them go!" the man laughed.

Zhizhou Jian said that he was startled, and wondered to himself... Seeing that this person looked at him with a hint of playfulness and smiled strangely, he hurriedly covered up and said, "I don't know which heroes they are?"

"Ming people don't do secret things, so I'll tell you the truth. Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, and Bai Sheng are the ones my brother wants. Mr. Zhizhou can figure it out!" the thin man said unhurriedly.

"Are you really sent by Chao Gai?" Na Zhizhou couldn't bear it for a while, and said angrily, he thought that this dog thief had hurt him once or twice, and he even sent someone to the house to assassinate him, so please wait for me to deal with it If I catch you, I'll see how I can deal with you when I catch you.

"I don't know Chao Gai, but I won't hide it from you. My elder brother is an old acquaintance of Mr. Zhizhou, and that is Wang Lun, the leader of Shuibo Liangshan!" Nahan replied.

"Wang...Wang Lun?" Zhizhou asked in shock.

"Why? To do it or not to do it?" Nahan asked.

"Hero, it's not that I don't want to do it, but the three of them are criminals of the imperial court. Mr. Cai in Tokyo knows his name and surname. I really don't dare to do it!" Zhizhou cried bitterly.

"Then how will Cai Jing concoct you? Demotion? Displacement?" the man asked.Without waiting for the dog officer to answer, he said again: "Then do you know that I can take your life right now?"

When Zhizhou heard the words, he collapsed on the bed, and it took him a long time to get up and said: "Your official will do it, just do it!"

The man nodded, and said: "You are very slippery, I don't worry about how you deal with those two Yuhou, but if you want to deal with me, you should decide whether it is worth it or not! You are in the city of Zhou now. There are still two commanding imperial troops left, plus the one thousand Xiang army, there are less than 2000 people. If you think these people can save your life, you can just perfunctory me! I have nothing to say to you!"

Then Zhizhou was stunned when he heard the words, how could he not know the power that he ruled Liangshan, but he didn't understand the relationship between the thief leader Wang Lun and these three criminals.Thinking of this, he was startled, secretly thought that Chao Gai had gone to Liangshan? !But how is this possible? Not long ago, Chao Gai borrowed troops to suppress and kill Wang Lun, how could he become his mortal enemy in the blink of an eye?This... this... It seems that the deeds in the arena are completely different from those in the officialdom. If it is between political opponents, there is no way to follow this routine. When Mr. Cai came to power, he would take revenge Yuanyou party member monument, do you want to make those political enemies doomed?

The thin man sitting in front of Zhizhou's bed is the best at observing words and expressions. Seeing this person's expression change, he thought that his brother guessed again. Our cottage didn't hit the state capital because we couldn't hit the state capital, but because we didn't want to force this person to In the corner of the wall, the dog will jump over the wall if he is in a hurry, not to mention this group of corrupt officials.As long as they feel that they can continue to hide it, they will compete to hide it for their own stronghold, otherwise they will be called the generation that destroys the country.

Thinking of this, the man chuckled. Brother Xindao and the military adviser’s calculations are high-wow. There is a saying: You are afraid that I will hit your state city, but in fact I don’t want to hit your state city, but I will take it. You don’t know if I don’t want to Beating you in Zhoucheng made you fear in your heart that I was going to beat you in Zhoucheng. (To be continued.)
