Official Wang had a son, and the whole Zhuangzi was very lively. He was happy to have a second generation in his family.
When the news spread, the first person to give gifts was Zhang Lihe, the magistrate of Yanggu County. He was really holding on to high-ranking officials. In the past year, the old boy listened to the suggestions and started some small reforms. Now the business prosperity in Yanggu County has reached a new level, and various incomes have skyrocketed.
Moreover, Wang Daguan's various factories, as well as the most important soaps and scented soaps, leave from here. With the coming and going of goods and goods, the commodity center in Yanggu County has been further stimulated. Correspondingly, it has provided more jobs and attracted population migration from surrounding counties. All the data are very good. This kind of leap forward is among the best in Beijing's East and West Road.
The plate is small, so the change is obvious. In the official examination, of course, there are all kinds of advancements. In addition, Zhang Li and this old boy make a lot of money. Either go to Wang County, or be promoted to a state government office. The old boy's smile turned into a big chrysanthemum day by day, allowing him to call the high-ranking officials daddy without hesitation, and hit him wherever he was pointed.
The people who gave the newborn gift were just a group of people from Yanggu County. They were the first to know the news and build relationships. Da Bo's gift was not given until the full moon, and everything that should be known was known by then. The main reason is that in this era, the medical and health environment is backward, and the probability of newborn children dying is not small. At the full moon, we have the foundation to survive.
Pan Jinlian, who had given birth to a child, was even more beautiful. She leaned on the couch and looked at her son, who was lying beside her, eyes open, swaying back and forth, murmuring and blowing bubbles, with a smile on her face: "Official , look at him, his eyes are the same as yours, he looks very proud."
Wang Yan chuckled. His face was judged by his facial features: "Well, everything else is just like your mother. This little thing will definitely be good-looking when he grows up."
"Not bad." Pan Jinlian squinted her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth, and smiled as brightly as a flower. Her son was good-looking, so of course she would be happy as a mother. After she laughed, she looked at the official with some displeasure: "Official, Dahe is your son, don't talk about him as a kid."
'Dahe' is the nickname given to her son by her mother, Jin Lian. A cheap name is easy to make a living. After hearing Wang Yan say that her son was short of water in his life, he did not hesitate and went straight up the entire river. It had to be big and he was not afraid. Too much water.
"Yes, yes, my lady is right." Wang Yan agreed with a smile without arguing.
"My boss, my boss?"
Hearing the old housekeeper's shout outside, Wang Yan tapped the tip of his little nose, said something to Jin Lian, stood up and walked out: "Uncle Fu."
Wang Fusheng took two steps forward and said: "My boss, two people have come to see my boss. One of the monks is as tall as Wu Erlang and looks much stronger than Wu Erlang. The other has a large black birthmark on his face. , kept silent, and seemed to have martial arts skills. It was difficult to say which monk, but the one with the birthmark, the old servant looked at it, and felt that it was the green-faced beast Yang Zhi who secretly collaborated with the bandits and was wanted for the birthday plan. "
"Oh? Really? Then we have to meet them." As he spoke, Wang Yan set off and took the old housekeeper to the front hall.
As soon as I walked in, I saw a sturdy monk sitting on a chair, drinking tea from a cup helplessly. If you don't want to drink it, it's not interesting. Just drink it, it will make you look like a bird, it's so boring. Beside the wall behind, there is a Zen staff leaning against it. You can tell at a glance that it is this kind weapon.
The other person did indeed have a large birthmark on his face as the old housekeeper said. He seemed to think it was a physical flaw, and his face was obviously difficult to hide, so his hair was scattered, covering the large area of black and blue. His body was about to be one size smaller. A sheathed broad knife was placed on the table next to him, and he was drinking tea with a sad look on his face. However, his worries were different from that of the monk, because his attention was not on the tea, but on worries about the unknown future.
Hearing the noise, the two of them looked at the door together, and saw the official with his hands behind his back looking at them with a smile on his lips. The two quickly stood up and bowed with their hands: "Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi have met the official. "
Wang Yan returned the gift with a smile and asked the two of them to sit down. He also took the main seat and took the tea brought by the little maid. After taking a sip, he took it with a small gesture and then said: "I I know of the two of you, one is Lu Tixia who punched the gangster in Guanxi, and in order to save Lin Chong, he killed Gao Qiu and hunted him down. The other is Yang Linggong, the fifth prince, who hacked to death Niu Er in Bianjing. I heard a while ago that you also conspired with the bandits on the birthday plan, and you are currently wanted. Instead of finding a place to hide, you two came to look for me. I don’t know why you came?"
"I have long heard that high-ranking officials do good deeds and are known to be wise. My two brothers entered the realm of Yanggu and found..."
Lu Zhishen interrupted Yang Zhi's flattery impatiently and said in a loud voice: "Master, Sajia is a monk and does not tell lies. We came here just to take care of the official's disciples, find a job and live in peace." day."
Wang Yan made a sound and said: "I also know my reputation in the world, and these two heroes in the world are shouting at me to kill me and destroy my whole family. How can you think of surrendering?" Aren't my disciples afraid that I will send you two to build bridges and pave roads?"
"Heroes? Are they worthy? They are just a bunch of scoundrels." Lu Zhishen shook his head and said: "The Sa family knows that high officials can distinguish between good and evil. Those who build bridges and pave roads are definitely not heroes. They are just a group of bullies, lazy and greedy. Those people are not worthy to be compared with the two of us. The Sa family asked themselves that they have not harmed innocent people in vain, and Brother Yang has never harmed anyone. Both of us brothers were harmed by traitors and current events. High officials must not They will indiscriminately send the two of us to work on building bridges and paving roads."
Lu Zhishen is both coarse and fine. Wang Yan remembers the text he studied when he was a child, and the section about punching the town of Guanxi. It describes that Lu Zhishen beat the town of Guanxi to death with three punches. The red, white, and yellow blood flowed all over the floor. Lu Zhishen He said he would pretend to be dead and then run away. The side profile depicts the character of Lu Zhishen, who is rough but subtle, and has a clever mind...
However, the senior officials did not expect that Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi would take the initiative to submit their votes. Of course, his reputation was genuine. From time to time, people came to look for work, and there were many capable people among them. It was just that Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi were special.
The high-ranking official smiled, and seemed to agree with what Lu Zhishen said, and said thoughtfully: "There is no problem in taking in the two of you. It's just that one of them has hated Gao Qiu, and the other has offended that old bastard Cai Jing. Both of them have lawsuits. It is easy to identify and difficult to hide. Although I am not afraid of the two thieves Cai Jing and Gao Qiu, it is just a sacred scroll obtained by squandering hundreds of thousands of money every year to our Song Dynasty official family. If I want to protect the court, I will seize it. The key crime is to give the two thieves a reason to attack me. After all, it is a big trouble. I do have a good place to go, but I wonder if the two brothers are willing to leave the Song Dynasty and go to another place to live freely? "
He had no reason to refuse, after all, both of them were relatively powerful. Needless to say, Lu Zhishen said that Yang Zhi was a descendant of the generals of the Yang family. He was ranked seventeenth in Liangshan and one of the eight horses in the horse army. He was also capable of fighting. After all, among the thirty-six Tiangang, except for a few people such as Song Jiang, Wu Yong, and Chai Jin, everyone else was ranked based on their strength. If not, the one hundred and eight generals will not have credibility, and other leaders will not be convinced. Such two generals must be safe in leading the team.
The two looked at each other, exchanged glances, and Yang Zhi said: "It doesn't matter, Yang Zhi is incompetent and cannot restore the glory of his ancestors, and now he has ended up in this situation. With a lawsuit behind him, apart from being a bandit, the Song Dynasty has nothing to do Yang Zhi has established himself in a good place, whether he goes out or goes out. Yang Zhi, thank the high official."
Seeing the solemn expression on his face, Wang Yan waved his hand, motioning for him to sit down, and then turned to look at Master Lu on the other side.
Seeing the high official looking over, Lu Zhishen said in a low voice: "How can I go somewhere cool?"
"To tell you the truth, I am in Suzhou in the Liao Kingdom, which is on the other side of Dengzhou. I have some business with the Jurchens there. For convenience, I built a port there and a small village. You two In the past, I just trained the guards there and protected my port there, and I was very relaxed."
"Is there meat and wine?"
Wang Yan smiled and nodded: "Enough."
"He's gone to Sa's house."
"Okay!" Wang Yan said: "The two brothers have been wandering all the way recently, and they have suffered a lot. In this way, let's have a good meal and drink first, and then you two have a good rest. Uncle Fu, set up a banquet. In addition, Then bring a jar of our special wine, and my two brothers and I will have a few glasses of wine and talk."
Wang Fusheng's movements were very fast, or rather the chef's movements were very fast. In a short while, eight dishes were placed on the table, as well as an unsealed jar of white wine.
Lu Zhishen was a drunkard. Sitting at the dinner table, he sniffed twice and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh, what a good wine, what a good wine. Hurry up, have it filled with Sajia." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand. Touched the jar.
Not long after, a full bowl of wine was poured. Lu Zhishen licked his tongue, smacked his lips twice, and smiled: "Such a good wine, Sajia can't bear it, taste it first, taste it first, Senior Official, Brother Yang, please Blame Sajia.”
Wang Yan raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to continue. Yang Zhi ignored him and took a bite of the stir-fried dishes that only a few restaurants in Tokyo had. He felt deeply that the high-ranking officials would enjoy them. While he was satisfied with the dishes, he took the wine jar and offered it to the big officials in a sensible way. The official filled the small wine jug at hand, and then he filled it up. Neither of them used a bowl, but Master Lu said that drinking from a wine cup was not worth the wine. In fact, both Wang Yan and Yang Zhi knew that what he wanted to say was that drinking from a wine cup was not a good man.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Master Lu picked up the bowl and took a lick with his tongue first. He felt the pungency on the tip of his tongue and the hotness when it entered his throat. His already big eyes opened even wider, and his semen was shining, as if he had seen oil. The rat immediately took a big gulp and drank up the whole bowl.
Under Wang Yan's funny eyes, Master Lu was about to speak when the alcohol he had just consumed exploded and surged up his esophagus. Caught off guard, Master Lu quickly closed his mouth and allowed the air to slowly escape through his nose, suppressing the fire inside and making his face turn red.
"Treading on the Stars"
Just like Wu Song, they both save face. It was the first time he came into contact with high-strength liquor, and he drank half a pound of it. No matter how good a guy he was, he couldn't stand it. The difference is that Wu Song drank a large bowl of alcohol and lay down his body. Now Master Lu drinks alcohol that has been blended. After all, his body is still there, so there is nothing wrong with it.
After a long while, Master Lu, who was flushed, regained his composure, stroked his chest, and shouted: "Good wine!" After saying that, he quickly took two bites of food to suppress the turbulence in his stomach, and said: "That... big... Officer, please bring a wine pot and wine cup to the Sa family."
He must have been extremely embarrassed by what he said, but he was already blushing, so I couldn't see that he was embarrassed.
"Did you get drunk this time?"
Wang Yan shook his head, smiled, and called the maid to bring him another set.
"Master, when the Sa family went to the Liao Kingdom, could they still drink such strong wine?"
"As much as you want."
"That's good, that's good." Lu Zhishen nodded with satisfaction.
After chatting for a while with a smile and a few glasses of wine, Wang Yan asked the doubts in his heart: "How did you two brothers meet together? How did you come to find me?"
"Hey, it's a coincidence." Lu Zhishen told Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang after leaving Daxiangguo Temple: "Deng Long on the mountain won't accept the Sa family, and the Sa family alone can't conquer it. He is making plans at the foot of the mountain. What should we do? Brother Yang is here at this time."
"Yes, on the way to Liangshan, I went into the wine shop of Cao Zheng, the ghost master. He said it would be good to go to Erlong Mountain in Qingzhou to join the gang. Then I went to Erlong Mountain in a roundabout way, and met Brother Lu not far down the mountain. "
Lu Zhishen answered again: "The Sa family and Brother Yang went back to Cao Zheng's wine shop to discuss countermeasures. They were going to go up the mountain to kill Deng Long and occupy Erlong Mountain. But a caravan passed by and they talked about After joining the official, my two brothers remembered what happened to the official in the world. After summing up, they came to join the official. My two brothers are quite capable, and the official It’s not that we don’t distinguish between right and wrong, there’s absolutely no reason to drive away my two brothers. It’s better to work for a high official than to go up the mountain and become a bandit.”
Yang Zhi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, both of my brothers were victimized by others. Forced by current events, they had no choice but to live in the world. As long as there is a place to go, who would want to go up the mountain?"
This is right, those who have somewhere to go will not go up the mountain, and those who can survive will not go up the mountain.
There are only two types of people who go up the mountain. One type has nowhere to go and no way to live. People like Yang Zhi and others are indeed forced by current events. There are also many ordinary people who cannot afford the heavy taxes of various names and cannot survive. Once you go down, you will naturally change your way of living. Wang Qing, Tian Hu, Fang La and Liang Shan, the numerous low-level soldiers, are mostly like this. But after they went up the mountain, robbed a few groups of people, got a few girls, and enjoyed a little bit, their goals changed.
The other kind are the heroes who really kill people and seek their money. They are not engaged in production, or they are lazy in production. If they want to take shortcuts, they will naturally have nowhere to go. They will naturally go up the mountain and gather a group of people to do evil. .
Wang Yan nodded to express his understanding, raised his glass to drink with the two of them, and looked at Master Lu: "I heard that Master had an interaction with Lin Chong, the gun and stick instructor of the 800,000 Forbidden Army, and it was because Lin Chong hated Gao Qiu that Sir, master should know the news about Lin Chong in Liangshan, so why do you want to go to Erlongshan instead of Liangshan?"
Lu Zhishen sighed: "The Sa family never gossips behind their backs, but it is indeed the Lin Chong brothers who caused the Sa family to be where they are today."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"That day in the wild boar forest, the two government officials who were escorting Lin Chong were about to kill him. After I rescued him, I wanted to kill the two harmful government officials, but Lin Chong stopped me, so I didn't do it. I I wanted to save him and leave, but he refused to leave and was about to go to Cangzhou Prison to serve his sentence. Unfortunately, I had no choice but to escort him together and left after approaching the prison. Who would have thought, I only returned to Daxiangguo Temple a few days ago. Someone came to arrest me, saying that they were sent by Gao Qiu. Only then did the Sa family know that it was Lin Chong who told the two government servants about the Sa family, and then I was hunted down. If I had called the Sa family that day, those two people would have been killed. How can a yamen servant have so many things?"
Yang Zhi looked at Lu Zhishen, recalling the time when Hua Shi Gang turned over the sea, sold off his family property to go out for a relationship, and his interactions with Lin Chong when passing by Liangshan, his eyes twinkling.
Wang Yan chuckled, and Lin Chong didn't need to mention it more. It's okay to say he's a coward, it's okay to say he's not lucky, it's okay to say he has some reasons why he can't do it, after all, he's afraid of power, he doesn't dare to be angry, and he doesn't want to bear it. There is no problem with the subsequent consequences. But it doesn't matter what he thinks. Anyway, the result is that he can't keep his wife, and he can't keep it either. He doesn't dare to do this, and he doesn't dare to do that.
He shook his head, smiled, and raised his glass: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about that. Come, drink and drink."
…
Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi stayed in the Wang family's mansion for another three days. Yang Zhi didn't know clearly, his face was drooping all day long, but it was definitely a happy three days for Master Lu. On the first day, he was beaten up by the officials, drank wine and ate meat, and slept soundly. The next day, he had a tie with Wu Song, who had returned from a blind date, and then drank wine and ate meat with Wu Song, and the two fell asleep together. On the third day, I beat up the nurse who was still at home, then drank wine, ate meat, and slept soundly.
This is not the happy life of Rudarutisha before, but it is the happy life of Lu Zhishen now. Fight and move your body, eat wine and meat, take a long nap, wake up and continue. There is no wandering around and hiding around, no messy things to do, you can eat when you want, drink when you want, fight when you want, fight at ease.
On the fourth day, after three days of training, the two men, who had recovered their physical condition, dressed up in disguise and set off with the Wang family's caravan. They were going to board the ship in Dengzhou, and then cross the ocean to the other side. At first they didn't know What a new life.
During this period, the fate of other people was also the same as before. Song Jiang killed Yan Poxi, but was harmed by Zhang Wenyuan. He revealed that he was secretly collaborating with the bandits in Liangshan. After a lot of trouble, he released Zhu Dian privately and fled to Cangzhou, Hebei Province to join Chai Jin.
Only this time, he didn't kick Wu Song's brazier, and they would never know each other again in the future. Of course, the words cannot be absolute. If we really knew it, it would be on the battlefield. This time, they are opposites, not good brothers...
