Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 184 The Lion House Wu Song Meets Ximen Qing

The waiter held the lantern and looked at the stretcher, "Ah." With a terrified voice, he threw the lantern and backed away.

The shop owner came out and scolded Xiao Er, saying: "You dead boy, what do you call a ghost at night, you scared the customers."

Xiao Er said, "He, he, he, they carried the tiger."

The owner of the shop is middle-aged, and he is more courageous. He picked up the lantern and looked at it. It was a big worm, more than ten feet long, and it seemed to weigh five or six hundred catties. It was already dead and could not die anymore.

The owner of the store said: "The three guest officials are really warriors, powerful, powerful, first put this tiger at the door, and I will treat the strong men to drink three bowls of tiger-fighting wine."

"Okay, thank you boss."

All the guests had gone back to their rooms to sleep, and there was no one eating in the lobby.But after the boss made such a fuss, all the guests got up and came to the door to watch the tiger.

The cook cut a few catties of mutton and filled three bowls of good wine for Wu Song, Li Heng and Zhang Geng.

Wu Song picked up the wine bowl, drank it in one gulp, and said, "Good wine, good wine."

The owner of this shop is very economical, and said: "Dare to ask the name of the strong man?"

"Wu Song, Wu Erlang."

The owner of the store said: "Okay, warrior Wu, you three are free to eat. You will be free of alcohol, meat and hotel expenses."

Wu Song said: "Then we will not be polite."

The owner of the store came outside the store and said to the many onlookers: "Guests, did you see that these strong men killed the tiger only after drinking the spirits from the store. The wine from our store can strengthen the body and dispel wind. Dispels the cold. It is a rare wine."

Many people believed in the tiger when they saw the tiger, and they all spent money to buy the boss's wine.

The three of them ate more than a dozen catties of mutton, but they didn't drink much wine. The lively group of people tossed and tossed until late.

Early the next morning, Wu Song and others did not need to do anything, seven or eight men became tigers on a stretcher, Wu Song and three others followed on horseback, they turned over Jingyang Ridge and rushed to Yanggu County.

It was already noon after arriving tens of miles away, the yamen servant saw someone carrying a tiger to receive the reward, so he immediately reported it to the magistrate of the county.

Shi Wenbin, the county magistrate, was worried. There were fierce tigers on Jingyang Ridge, eating dozens of people, causing people to panic.

"Report, my lord, someone beat a tiger and came to receive the reward." The yamen servant came to report.

Shi Wenbin was overjoyed and said, "Quickly, please bring in the Tiger Fighting Hero."

"Yes."

The yamen servant came out and said, "Please answer me at the Tiger Fighting Hall of Heroes."

Wu Song said: "Li Heng, Zhang Geng, let's go."

The two shook their heads and said, "It's fine as long as you represent it. The two of us watch the tiger."

Wu Song said, "Okay, then I'll go in."

Shi Wenbin didn't have any pretensions, and was waiting at the door of the study.

Wu Song cupped his hands and saluted, saying: "Join the county magistrate."

Shi Wenbin was stunned, the big man in front of him was too strong, with a long face and thick eyebrows, a tall figure, broad shoulders and a thin waist, everyone with such a face was a mighty man.

Wu Song looked up and was stunned, why did this man look like Shi Wenbing, the county magistrate of Leling?

Shi Wenbin said: "The strong man is free of courtesy, please come inside."

After the guests and hosts were seated, Shi Wenbin said: "The strong man suddenly froze when he saw this county just now, as if something happened."

Wu Songdao: "Master Shi is very observant, which is admirable. Just now, I was a little surprised when I saw that he looks very similar to the county magistrate of Leling."

Shi Wenbin said: "That's my cousin Shi Wenbing, we brothers look alike. I haven't asked Zhuangshi's name and what he does for a living."

"In Xia Wusong, I worked as the head of Cangzhou Prefecture. This time I came back to visit relatives in Qinghe County." Wu Song said.

Shi Wenbin was surprised and said: "That's no wonder, Wudutou is very brave, such a big tiger will be killed if he says he will kill it. Have you ever thought of coming to Yanggu County to take a job? The Dutou in Yanggu County is vacant. I can't find it." The right person."

Although Wu Song is big, he actually has a lot of heart. He knows that Chai Lin is expanding his power, but he can't be too conspicuous. Although the position of Dutou has no power, it is still very important in the local area. At least he can be upright. Guangming trained dozens of subordinates.

Wu Song said: "Thank you so much, but I don't dare to leave without permission because of business. How about this? After I go back from visiting relatives, there are many masters in my gang with extraordinary martial arts. At that time, I will recommend them and let adults have a look." Appropriate or not."

Shi Wenbin said: "Then I would like to thank Wu Dutou."

Shi Wenbin beckoned, and the yamen servant brought twenty copper coins on a tray, 180 taels of silver.

Shi Wenbin said: "This is a bonus pooled by wealthy households in this county. There are a total of 200 taels, and I ask the strong men to accept it."

Wu Song was not polite, he would be foolish if he didn't accept the money, and immediately said, "Thank you, my lord."

Wu Song ate a cup of tea at the county government office, packed the money in a bag and came out.

Wu Song said to the person who helped carry the tiger: "Everyone has worked hard. Now that the adults have paid rewards, everyone should have fun. Take the money and divide it."

Wu Song said that he took eight copper coins, and the men who carried the tiger were very happy to share the copper coins.Wu Song took some more money, pulled the rope and sprinkled it all over the sky. The crowd watching the excitement were overjoyed. It was really fun to watch the excitement and still get the money.

The men who carried the tiger got a lot of money each, and were very happy.

The crowd left the yamen and carried the tiger to parade on the busiest street. When they passed the Lion Tower, a man in silk brocade and a buddy stopped the way.

This man had a hippie smile on his face, and even held a folding fan in the cold weather. I don't know what it was for.

Those who have something good to tell Wu Song said: "This is the richest man in our Yanggu County, a senior official from Ximen, Ximen Qing."

Ximenqing said: "Oh, the strong man killed the people of Yanggu County by fighting the tiger. I have three glasses of thin wine in the Lion House. I hope the strong man will not refuse."

Wu Song said, "Thank you, sir."

Seeing that it was difficult to shirk, Wu Song drank three glasses of water and wine from the senior officials of Ximen.

Ximen Qing was very happy, and said: "There is one more thing to discuss with the strong man."

Wu Song said, "I don't know what the high official Ximen said."

Ximen Qing said: "I heard that tigers are very nourishing and can ward off evil spirits. I, the Lion House, want to pay for your tiger, how about it? Although the weather is cold now, it is not resistant to storage. It will go bad after three to five days. You might as well sell my restaurant."

Wu Song thought it was true. His brother got up early every day and sold the cakes, but he couldn't earn a few tens of pennies. He immediately said: "Since the officials of Ximen like it, then I will sell you. I don't know the market, so I rely on the officials' words." price."

Ximen Qingxin said, you are really cunning, even though you don't understand the market, how can you give him less money in such a large crowd.

Ximen Qing said: "Then how about I accept you, tiger, for 100 taels of silver?"

"Okay, then this tiger will be sold to a high official."

It's useless for Wu Song to keep the dead tiger, so it's better to sell it.

Ximen Qing didn't bother, and immediately paid Wu Song the money.

A few guys carried the tiger into the Lion House, and Ximen said happily, "Haha, it's actually Tougong's. Keep that treasure, and I'll use it for making wine."

The spectators said: "It seems that the high officials are going to take another concubine, otherwise why are you so anxious to buy a tiger.

In fact, Ximen Qing was a smart businessman. This tiger was of no use in Wu Song's hands, but it was of great use in his hands, and it couldn't be wasted from head to toe.

When the tiger was gone, the excitement passed and everyone dispersed.Wu Song and others also left Yanggu County and rushed to Qinghe County.
