Water Margin Survival

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Deng Fei asked, "Why did my brother, General Lin, and Brother Jiao Ting come down the mountain this time? Where did they go?"

"Cangzhou Chai Daguan was kind to me in the past. It can be said that without his support, my Liangshan Dazhai would not have existed. He recommended Master Lin to me. Recently, we have free time, so we are going to go there in person. Take a trip to Cangzhou and thank the officials!" Wang Lun replied.

Deng Fei slapped his thigh when he heard the words, and said: "I have also heard the name of Chai Daguan for a long time. When I was walking in the rivers and lakes in the past, this one also said that he was good, and that one also said that he was good, which filled my ears. Now that my elder brother is going to go to Mr. Chai, how about my younger brother going with you?"

"Why not?" Wang Lun said with a hearty smile.

Deng Fei was overjoyed, and raised a toast to Wang Lun. At this moment, Meng Kang said, "Brother Deng Fei has gone to Cangzhou, so what shall I do?"

"Brother, why don't you pack your things and take the children to Dazhai to meet up first, my brother and I will return soon!" Deng Fei said.

Meng Kang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay!"

I only heard Deng Fei say again: "Brother, I don't think our Liangshan Dazhai is short of money and food, but we still have a few carts of money and silk in our cottage, why don't we exchange them for horses, and ask Brother Mengkang to take the children to pretend to be horses?" It’s convenient to go south and walk along the road!”

Wang Lunjian nodded and said, "Brother is indeed a long-time traveler, this is indeed feasible! This will bother Brother Mengkang!"

Hearing this, Meng Kang hurriedly said, "Now we are a family, brother, please don't be polite!"

Everyone toasted each other again. At this time, Wang Lun looked at Pei Xuan and said, "I wonder if Pei Kongmu has any family members in Jingzhao Mansion?" According to his status as the deputy provincial city attorney general in later generations, Wang Lun finds it inconceivable that he is still a bachelor in his 40s, so he asked this question.

Pei Xuan sighed when he heard the words, and said: "There is an old wife with her daughter at home, but when I was married, I thought I would escape death, so I wrote a letter of divorce with her on the spot. Her natal family still has some wealth, so it is not difficult to live on. , but it was me who made her suffer, alas!" Salmonella Island hangs in the sea outside Dengzhou, and people at that time thought that arriving there was like entering the gate of hell. Li Qing, who was in charge of the Shamen Island camp, took pleasure in torturing and killing prisoners. He had been the prison warden on Salmon Island for two years, but he killed [-] prisoners. On average, he killed one prisoner a day.This is only a subjective reason, and there are also objective reasons. The food on the island has not been enough for a long time, and even the jailers can’t get enough to eat, not to mention the prisoners, so many starve to death.

Wang Lun looked at Pei Xuan and sincerely advised: "If Kong Mu can't let her go, why don't you go back and take her up the mountain with your daughter! Thinking of Kong Mu's unselfishness in the past, he offended many people in Jingzhao Mansion, and now Kong Mu is gone. , Maybe Xiao Xiao has thought about it, what should I do with them? Kong Mu, what do you think?" These good guys have various advantages, but the disadvantage is that they don't care much about their families, or they originally went up the mountain by themselves. Make do with it, maybe it's unknown why the family members are brought into the muddy water.

Pei Xuanjian was startled, and thought: "My wife and children are useless to the cottage. Now this one is just asking me to go back to fetch someone, but what is the meaning? Are you afraid that I will run away halfway?"

Seeing him pondering, Wang Lun said: "Xiao Ke has no other intentions. I just want to reunite Kong Mu's family. If they are separated by thousands of miles, both parties will suffer. I don't want to see Kong Mu feel regretful! Whether the family takes it or not, it is up to you." Look at Kong Mu’s own intentions! Even if Kong Mu didn’t want to go up the mountain, Xiao Ke didn’t force it. He just said to each other: ‘Husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, we will carry it together!’”

Hearing Wang Lun's words, Lin Chong felt the same way, and immediately got up and said, "I, Lin Chong, have never cheated in my life, and I dare to be a guarantor for my brother here. This brother is an indomitable man of love! I, Lin Chong, convinced him because he has nothing to do. One sentence is not for the sake of the brothers, I hope Pei Kongmu thinks twice!"

Seeing this, Deng Fei, Meng Kang and the others stood up to persuade them, saying: "My brother has thought so carefully for us, if we had a family and moved up the mountain early, does brother Kongmu expect his sister-in-law to take his niece to marry again?" People? Or do you have the heart to watch your sister-in-law be a widow?"

When Pei Xuan heard this, he couldn't listen anymore, stood up and said to Wang Lun with tears, "If it wasn't for my brother's persuasion, the villain would have been confused, I... I... I'll go back and get it!"

Wang Lun helped him up and said: "For fear that Kongmu will not be able to enter the city, I will send my leader Li Si and three or five brothers to help you. They used to hang out in Tokyo and know everything well. They will not miss Kongmu. event!"

When Pei Xuan heard the words, he bowed to the end again, and Wang Lun hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, saying: "From now on, we will all be brothers in a cottage, so there is no need to be so polite!"

Pei Xuan had tears in his eyes and was speechless. When everyone saw this, they were all overjoyed. Deng Fei asked the children to pack up their things and asked if anyone would like to go. Let's go together, wait for them to clean up the things, the people divide into three groups, Wang Lun, Lin Chong, Jiao Ting, Deng Fei go north, Pei Xuan takes Li Si and other five or six people to the west, Meng Kang takes Li Si and other five or six people to go west He led the Shanzhai brothers to buy horses, and then went south to Liangshan.

Let's talk about Deng Fei changing the uniform of the imperial army, and traveling to Cangzhou with Wang Lun and others. It was a great pleasure for everyone to talk about the deeds of the Jianghu. , gradually arrived at the boundary of Cangzhou. At this time, Wang Lun felt empty and had no memory of the path, so he bowed his hands to Lin Chong and said, "I have been out of Cangzhou for several years, and I don't remember the way. Brother, do you remember?" Lin Chong heard Yan smiled and said, "Big brother just follow the villain!"

Under the guidance of Lin Chong, they walked for half a day, crossed a large stone bridge, stepped on a flat road, and saw a large villa in the shade of green willows.I saw a wide river all around, with big weeping poplar trees on both banks, and a white wall in the shade of the trees.When everyone came to the front of the village, there were four or five villagers sitting on the broad board bridge, enjoying the shade there. When they saw this group of officers and soldiers who had bumped out from nowhere, they all rolled their eyes and said, "Come to fight the autumn wind again. That is to say, my family's senior officials have a good temper, so I have to follow my heart, and I am too lazy to look at him!"

Wang Lun ignored these few, and directly called everyone to follow him to get off the horse and walk to the front of the village gate. When the people inside heard the movement, they turned out a young man, and when they saw Wang Lun and the others, they said, "Wait a minute!" After going in, he came out with a plate, on which there were two ingots of ten taels of silver, and handed it to Wang Lun, saying: "You are not lucky, my family's senior officials are not in the house, and since you are officers and soldiers, as usual, this 20 taels of gift See you off, please come back!"

Hearing the boy's tone without any emotion repeated thousands of times, Wang Lun looked back at Lin Chong amusedly. Lin Chong also smiled helplessly, thinking that both he and Wang Lun had been here before. I don't know if it's because the nobleman has forgotten things too much, or if he doesn't care about us at all, he just asks people to go with a tone like dismissing idlers.At this time, Zhang San saw the playful expressions on the faces of the village master and Lin Jiaotou, turned around and touched for a long time, took out a large ingot of 50 taels of silver, threw it on the plate, and said: "Your reward, go away, my family!" Senior officials, go in and wait for your nobleman!"

Seeing this, the young man opened his mouth wide, thinking that all the people in the village are begging for food, and seeing such a generous gift of money, he wondered if he met a big man?He hurriedly retreated to the side and let everyone in. After they walked a dozen steps, Deng Fei muttered to the side: "The King of Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is hard to deal with. Why is it that the famous Chai officials all over the world have such people? Wang Lun photographed him." Patting him on the shoulder, looking back at Zhang San, he said with a smile: "Little San, I'll just come in, what are you fussing about with a boy, you don't want to keep your private money to marry a wife? "

Zhang San smiled and said: "To save face for my brother, what is this little money, it's all my brother's reward!"

"Good! Good!" Wang Lun said two good words, then turned his head away, and went into the village side by side with Lin Chong. Seeing this, Zhang San rushed forward and said, "Brother, I really paid for the money?! Morning I know I only lost 20 taels!" Everyone laughed when they heard the words, Lin Chong couldn't help smiling, and said with a smile: "Even if my brother doesn't care about you, I'll give you back when I go back, it's all right!" Zhang San laughed heartily, and then The coquette said: "It's only 50 taels, what's it worth!" Seeing that Lin Chong also turned his head and ignored him at this time, Zhang Sansan was embarrassed, lowered his head to catch up, and dared not speak any more. "

They walked further inside, but they saw a big man blocked by three or five men on a flat ground in the courtyard, shouting: "Wu Song, you fight! Come on, come on, you'd better kill us, call Mr. Chai!" I will raise you for another three to five years!"
