Chapter 304: The Lady of the County and the Whores
Fan Wulang was trembling and standing guard outside the Zhou Family Inn, and inside the inn were the terrible "lewd thieves". Most of the archers under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate of Yanggu County were beaten down by these lewd thieves, a few broke their hands and feet, a few vomited blood, and a few lost their souls and ran back to Fanjiazhuang in Anle Town to farm.
And Fan Wulang was reluctant to accept the identity and oil and water of the officials, so he had to take a few children of the Fan family who were still willing to stay and "play with their lives" to guard outside the Zhou Family Inn in the county seat.
He said that he was a guard, but he didn't dare to ask a word when the thieves in the inn came in and out. Because he's still going to die!
However, what scared him the most now was not the thieves in the Zhou Family Inn, but the thugs of the Yanggu Ximen family who had been wandering outside the inn since yesterday. They were all sturdy men with fierce eyes, bulging in their arms, obviously carrying daggers. Although Fan Wulang knew that he had an official government to take care of it, and the Ximen family, a criminal family, would not dare to make a mistake, his heart was still pounding.
He already knew that the Fan family was dizzy this time, and he provoked an existence that could not be provoked...... If one of Fan Jiu Xiucai and Fan Thirteen Xiucai can compete in Dabi Middle and High School next year, it will be good. Otherwise, that super-fierce Simon woman and her lewd husband have three full years to take revenge!
Just as he was thinking about the possible retaliation of the Fan family in the future, the sound of the carriage and horses rolling came. Fan Wulang followed the sound and saw a carriage coming slowly, and the driver Fan Wulang knew him, and it turned out to be Wan Shun, the coachman of Shi Dazhi County.
How could Shizhi County's car come to Zhoujia Inn? Fan Wulang thought to himself: Could it be that Shi Zhixian wants to try the case in the inn?
"Fan Goro, are the father and son of the martial arts family here?" Wan Shun, the coachman who was holding the reins, asked angrily.
"Yes, yes." Fan Wulang replied repeatedly.
Wan Shun nodded, and whispered to the people in the carriage: "Madam, the military officials and military officials are all here." β
"Okay."
Fan Wulang then heard a crisp and pleasant woman's voice, and then the curtain of the carriage door was lifted, the fragrance was fragrant, accompanied by the ring, and a bright and moving bewitching woman came out.
"Ah, ma'am!" Fan Wulang couldn't believe his eyes, it was actually Shi Dazhi's wife Wan Shi.
Don't look at Shi Dazhi County is in his sixties this year, but his wife is only in her thirties, and she looks younger than her actual age, at most thirty years old, which is the time when the charm is infinite. What is such a beautiful woman doing alone in an inn full of lewd thieves?
Fan Wulang thought ill-intentionedly: Could it be that Mrs. Zhixian can't bear the loneliness and wants to find a thief for a pastime?
Mrs. Zhixian didn't look at Fan Wulang more, and walked into the Zhou family inn where the thieves lived. Someone in the inn had already noticed a visitor, and Wu Haogu, who was drawing a bow in the courtyard of the inn, hurriedly greeted him, arched his hand and smiled: "Sister Wan, which gust of wind blew you here?" β
Mrs. Zhixian smacked him, and said with a smile: "It's not big or small, is your name the eldest sister?" β
Mrs. Wan Niangzi's maiden family is also a well-known merchant in Kaifeng Mansion, so she loves to visit Panlou Street when she has nothing to do, and Wu Haogu's father Wu Chengzhi is an old friend who has known each other since childhood.
"Hey! Hey! β
While the two were talking, suddenly a shout came from the courtyard.
As soon as Wan Niangzi's beautiful eyes turned, she was attracted by Brother Zhao Zhong, who was holding a large stone lock in the courtyard naked...... This is what a whore! As far as Wu Chengzhi's dead fat man has the capital to be a thief?
Mrs. Zhixian smiled and pointed at Brother Zhao Zhong, and asked Wu Haogudao: "Da Lang, is this Lang Jun a prostitute who makes a big fuss in the Golden Arch Tower...... Silverarmoured General? β
"He is Zhao Yuanyi, who is borrowed from the third class, and he is the Langjun of the Zhao family in Zhenzhou." After Wu Haogu finished his introduction, he waved to Brother Zhao Zhong, who was sweating profusely, and said, "Brother Zhong'er, come and meet the lady of Shizhi County." β
Brother Zhao Zhong heard Wu Haogu's shout, so he put down the stone lock and looked back at Wu Haogu and the county magistrate's wife, Wan Niangzi. The beautiful lady is smiling at him! Brother Zhong is not a stupid big man who doesn't understand the amorous feelings, although he hasn't married a wife yet, he also had concubines when he was in Liao. immediately arched his hand at Wan Niangzi and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mrs. Zhixian, rude, rude." β
"Since it's Langjun of the Zhao family in Zhenzhou, why don't you come in and talk together." Wan Niangzi smiled again, "But you have to put on your clothes." β
"Okay, okay, here we go." Brother Zhao Zhong replied with a smile.
Wu Haogu was not a nosy person, but politely invited Wan Niangzi into the hall of the inn. At this time, the Zhoujia Inn had been chartered by Wu Haogu, and there were no other guests, and the inn hall became a place where Wu Haogu and Wu Cheng's father and son met guests.
And before Wu Chengzhi was invited by the inn's maid, Wu Haogu began to inquire about the attitude of the magistrate.
"That old man listens to slaves." Wan Niangzi smiled, "He's just a fool and a nerd, he doesn't have any opinions at all, it's just that he was lucky to get a jinshi." β
Although the questions of the imperial examination look like that, the questions are questions after all! It is not the same as the actual ability to do things, and even if it is a policy issue, it is often only about the big principles and the Confucian version of political correctness.
And after becoming an officer, whether or not you can be promoted is often not related to ability...... Compared with the ability to do things, the "official voice" of civil officials is more important. For example, the reason why Zhang Kegong wants to fight the "fortunate villain" Wu Haogu is to accumulate official reputation.
As for whether Wu Haogu and Wu Chengzhi are thieves or not, it doesn't matter, and Lieutenant Zhang Daxian doesn't care about this, he just needs to get a reputation for daring to stand up to the military attachΓ© of Jinxing.
And Wan Niangzi's husband Shi Guozhong's official reputation is actually not bad, because when he was a state and county school official in his early years, he blocked the way of several officials who took the lock hall exam (the officials were all older than him), and got a reputation for being fair and not afraid of the powerful (in fact, he didn't know the background of the people at all), so he could be the county magistrate smoothly.
But it's a bit difficult to make further progress. Because Shi Dazhi County adheres to the concept of "gentlemen are not parties", and refuses to join the party after winning the jinshi, it is neither the old party nor the new party, so there is no one in the court, and he will not make a sycophant to become an official.
But such a confused official whose official fortunes seem to have come to an end, in Wu Haogu's view, may be of great use.
Because he seems to be a wife slave, and his wife has a good relationship with his father and son...... If you can help him exercise, he may be able to arrange for some key positions.
Thinking of this, Wu Haogu smiled and said to Wan Niangzi: "Thank you so much this time, Mrs., stay in Kaifeng Mansion next time, there must be a lot of thanks." β
"Thank you very much," Wan Niangzi waved her hand and said with a smile, "The slave and your father and son are also old acquaintances, why don't you know the details?" It's inexplicable to say that your father is a thief, and the Yanggu Fan family doesn't know what to think? If they weren't for the family of scholars, the slaves would have told my family officials a good lesson. β
Wu Haogu smiled and thought: Someone has to teach the Fan family a lesson, and the old officials of your family are just waiting to clean up the stall, maybe they can make a contribution...... Wait for me to go back to Kaifeng to exercise and see if I can get someone to know Cangzhou or Qingchi County (Jieheshang City is under the jurisdiction of Qingchi County) to do it for him?
β¦β¦
"Siege of Fanjiazhuang? Ximen Qing, this girl doesn't want to harm us, right? β
"What is there to fight in Fanjiazhuang?"
"Yes, a bowl of rice, no oil and water, if you want to fight, you will also fight Ximen's house."
"Don't talk nonsense, the Ximen family can raise dead soldiers from the Liao Kingdom, all of whom are horsemen who can fight horse battles! Can we fight? β
"That's right, the newly appointed Xucheng Inspector Wu Song is also raised by the Ximen family, this guy is also a capable fighter, this Ximen family is not easy to mess with."
At this time, the heroes of Liangshan gathered at the Zhuangzi of Chao Gai at the foot of Liangshan, and they were talking about whether to send troops to fight Fanjiazhuang.
Listening to the ordinary brothers under his command shouting, Chao Gai coughed with a scary scar on his face, and the scene immediately quieted down, and then he said to Hei Song Jiang who was sitting beside him: "Gongming, what do you think?" β
"Hit!" Song Jiang has already made a calculation, "If you don't fight, it's not easy to collect tolls this year!" β
"But Fanjiazhuang ......"
"Don't be afraid!" Song Jiang said with a smile, "If the elder brother is relieved, let the younger brother take someone there, and he will always bring back tens of thousands of stone rice grains and hundreds of ploughing cattle." β
The Fan family is a righteous family that cultivates and reads, and the most valuable thing in the Zhuangzi is to store grain and cultivate cattle. Although Liangshan collects money to do things, he can't go short in Fanjiazhuang, or he will break the rules!
Therefore, thousands of stone grain and dozens of ploughing cattle always have to be pulled back!
"Hmm." Chao Gai glanced at Song Jiang, nodded and said, "It's better for my brother, I'll take someone there myself...... This Fanjiazhuang is not far from Liangshanbo, and if there is any trouble, you can hide in Liangshanbo. β
"Not really." Song Jiang said with a smile, "As long as the people of the Ximen family don't move, who else in Yunzhou can fight with us?" Besides, we don't want to occupy the county seat or state town, it's just a Zhuangzi. β
Chao Gai frowned and asked, "Gongming, what do you say the girl of the Ximen family is thinking about?" If you don't call a Zhuangzi a big killing, why don't you just do it? β
Song Jiang smiled: "The most poisonous woman's heart!" That woman was about to smash a bowl of rice! β
"Smashing a job? How to smash? β
Song Jiang sneered: "I don't know how to smash the younger brother, but the younger brother believes that as long as a few Fan family members go up the mountain, there will be no more inches of the Fan family's righteous gate in Yanggu County in the future." β
"Okay," Chao Gai waved his hand, "let the brothers prepare a plan, and tomorrow we will send 1,000 troops to rob Fanjiazhuang!" β
All the heroes in the hall said: "Order! β
