In the morning, as soon as Mrs. Wang opened the door of the teahouse, Ximen Qing walked in. Qinbei Pavilion
"Master, I'm not as anxious as you are to have morning tea. My water hasn't even boiled yet!"
Wang Po looked at Ximen Qing with a smile and said.
"Godmother, how can I be in the mood to drink tea? I have already managed to send Wu Song away. When will the little lady cheat her out?"
Looking at Po Wang outside the west door, he said.
"Officials, as the saying goes: You can't eat hot tofu if you're impatient. The young lady hasn't agreed to come over yet, how can you do it if you're impatient?"
Wang Po looked at Ximen Qing and said, this matter is happening step by step. Wu Song hasn't left the city yet, and nothing has been said about this matter.
"Aren't I in a hurry? Can Wang Qianniang have a way to capture that little lady? Wu Song can only go away for two months at most. If he can't capture her, it will be troublesome."
Ximen Qing asked.
"All it takes is to trick her and put some medicine in the tea. That lady is timid and probably doesn't dare to say anything. How can a high-ranking official say a few lovely words to make her swoon?"
Wang Po had an idea.
"Then go and invite the godmother!"
Ximen Qing was overjoyed when he heard this. He was very familiar with these things. As long as a little maid was tricked into going to bed, there was no way she could escape from his grasp.
"How can you be in such a hurry, high official? If I go now, I need to make her suspicious. I'll go again in a few days. It's a long time, so I don't have to worry about being able to trick her out."
Wang Po said with a smile.
At the gate of Yanggu City, Wu Song took two strong soldiers and two county magistrates' confidants and escorted the car out of Yanggu County and headed for Tokyo.
At ten minutes after sunset, a group of forty or fifty people escorted the car to Yanggu County.
"What do you do?"
The guard guarding the gate quickly stopped them when he saw so many people.
"Secretary, we are merchants. We are selling herbal medicines from Tanzhou to the north. We heard that there is a Dasheng Pharmacy in Yanggu County and wanted to ask if we would like any goods!"
Lu Fang said with a smile. His Tanzhou accent made the guard instantly lose his guard. If the thief was a thief, he wouldn't have come from Tanzhou.
"Commander, please take a look, they are all good herbal medicines!"
Lu Fang quickly asked his entourage to open the sack in the car and reveal the raw medicine inside.
"These people are also with you?"
The officer looked at Guo Sheng and others behind him.
"Officer, we met him on the road. We were afraid of a thief, so we got together. The villain came to Shandong from Jialing, Xichuan, selling mercury."
Guo Sheng said, and also let the officer see the goods he brought. The officer did not dare to go near something as poisonous as mercury and did not want to take a look.
"Commander, it's getting late, I beg you, please do me a favor!"
Lu Fang smiled and put a piece of silver into the servant's hand.
"Go in, Ximen officials don't accept crude drugs. You can go sell them elsewhere and avoid getting into trouble!"
The officer was in a good mood after collecting the money, and immediately asked Lu Fang and Guo Sheng to enter the city, and reminded Lu Fang that Ximen Qing's herbal medicine shop did not accept medicine, and Lu Fang should not grab business in the city, otherwise he would get into trouble.
"Thank you, officer. It's getting late. Everyone, go to the city quickly and find a hotel to stay!"
Lu Fang thanked everyone and invited everyone to enter the city.
"The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. It seems that the officials in Yanggu County are not good people."
Guo Sheng said in a low voice, just by looking at the officer asking for money, he could tell that the Yanggu County officials were in charge.
"When the time comes, we will uphold justice for heaven and punish rape and eradicate evil!"
Lu Fang said with a smile.
While talking, they asked for directions, came to Zishi Street, and found the hotel opened by Liang Shan.
"Shopkeeper, please open some rooms for how many days we will stay."
Lu Fang winked at Cao Zheng.
"Please come inside, please come inside!"
Cao Zheng quickly greeted everyone into the back hall.
"Brother Cao Zheng, we are here first according to your order. My brother and others are outside the city."
Lu Fang saw that there were no more outsiders, so he spoke.
"It's good that my brother and brothers are here!"
Cao Zheng said with a smile.
…
It is said that Wu Song led the people to escort the car to Tokyo, but nothing happened with Wu Song along the way.
"Wu Dutou, everyone says that the Jingdong Road is not peaceful. With Dutou here, even these wild thieves dare not show up."
"Haha, I still want to see the power of Wu Dutou's crouching tiger!"
Two of the county magistrate's cronies smiled and flattered Wu Song. When the hunters carried Wu Song's body into the city, they could see clearly that the big insect's head was beaten to pieces of flesh and blood. Gu Yiqi talked about it, and everyone wanted to see it with their own eyes.
"Whether it's safe or not, this cargo is important, so it's better to transport it to Tokyo as soon as possible."
Wu Song shook his head and said, the county magistrate is very interested in these goods. Although he is good at martial arts, doing more is worse than doing less.
Because they were in a hurry to get on the road, they found their dormitory when it got dark. A few people went into the store and ordered some food and wine before going to their rooms to rest.
"Erlang!"
Just when Wu Song fell asleep, Shi Qian's voice sounded outside the door.
"who is it?"
Wu Song heard the voice and asked alertly.
"Why can't I hear Erlang's voice?"
Sun Lei smiled outside the door.
"elder brother!"
Wu Song quickly opened the door and saw Sun Lei and others standing outside the door smiling, along with Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong.
"Brother! Master! Instructor! It's really you!"
Wu Song said in surprise.
"Erlang, you've become famous now. Why don't you call me for hunting tigers?"
Lu Zhishen laughed and said that in order to experience the thrill of hunting a tiger, he searched around the lake for a long time, but tigers were animals in the mountains and there were no tigers near the lake.
"Everyone is laughing at me. I drank too much and bumped into him by mistake. If I were sober, I would never dare to go."
Wu Song smiled and invited a few people into the house.
"Brother, I don't even have a glass of water."
Wu Song looked a little embarrassed at the empty table.
"Why would brothers care about this with you?"
Sun Lei shook his head.
"I heard that you are not satisfied with the wife I found for you?"
Sun Lei asked with a smile.
"Brother, I didn't mean that, it's just..."
Wu Song didn't know how to answer for a while. He did have opinions a few days ago, but now he thinks it's good. Having a woman who knows both coldness and hotness makes the family feel like home.
"Erlang, you are not usually hesitant like this."
Lin Chong said with a smile.
"Brother, it was Wu Song who made the mistake of blaming my brother. My brother found him very well!"
Wu Song turned away and did not dare to look at Sun Lei.
"As long as you are satisfied, isn't it right for my brother to help you? But it is a bit wrong for you to suddenly leave Yanggu."
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"Brother, the county magistrate asked me to deliver something to Tokyo."
Wu Song thought Sun Lei was referring to something wrong with the goods. In fact, Wu Song knew very well that they were dirty silver, but he had to send it because of the order.
"This thing is just a pretext. Someone in the county has evil intentions. Do you know?"
Sun Lei looked at Wu Song and asked.
"Evil intentions? Since Wu Song entered Yanggu County, he has not offended anyone and has always behaved himself."
Wu Song said doubtfully that since leaving Liangshan, he had always remembered Sun Lei's instructions to drink less and not be impulsive when in trouble. He never caused trouble like Qinghe did back then.
"No one can harm a tiger, but a tiger can harm people's hearts! It's not that you don't cause trouble, it's that trouble comes to you."
Sun Lei shook his head and said.
