Water Margin begins as a captain in Yanggu County

Chapter 30: Kill whoever my brother tells me to kill!
At noon in the morning, Su Wu came into the city and went to the government office first to report for duty and to see the county magistrate.

But he saw many people in the government office looking at him with strange eyes...

Even Li Cheng looked a bit strange. As soon as the roll call was over and the errands were arranged, Su Wu asked Li Cheng, "What's going on?"

Li Cheng did not hide it, and just said, "Brother, don't you know?"

"What do I know?" Su Wu was confused.

"Hey...Brother, did you really do something...?" Li Cheng asked again.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Su Wu asked directly.

"Brother, people on the street are talking about you. They are saying that you... you and..."

"Say!"

"Alas! It is said that my brother has an unclear relationship with Meng Yulou, the widow of the Yang family from the cloth shop... This matter has spread all over Yanggu County." Li Cheng still did not say it directly.

Su Wu reacted and realized that it seemed that there was a rumor on the street. This rumor must not be vague and must have a basis for truth...

If you think about it for a moment, you will know that this rumor must be extremely ugly and despicable.

What the hell is going on? Su Wu didn't even drink a sip of his tea.

There is no need to think about it, this matter must be the fault of Mr. Ximen.

"Brother, is this true?" Li Cheng asked.

Before Su Wu could say anything, Wu Song at the side said, "No! You are talking nonsense! We have only met once and didn't know each other before. How many things have happened in the past few days? How could brother have the leisure to do all that?"

Li Cheng nodded repeatedly: "That's right, I knew it, someone must be trying to ruin my brother's reputation behind his back."

This was indeed an awkward matter. Most people in Yanggu County who had a bit of common sense probably wouldn't believe it. After all, Su Wu and Meng Yulou had nothing to do with each other.

But I can't stop those vulgar women from saying...

Ximen Qing is such a bastard, what a bastard!
It would be fine for Su Wu, a man, but Meng Yulou, a woman with a ten-year-old brother-in-law, is already having a hard time. What should she do?

On second thought, Ximen Qing's move was like cutting off the source of the trouble. It was blocking Meng Yulou's path and indirectly forcing her to marry into the Ximen family...

No wonder Ximen Qing was able to rise to prominence with the help of women and gradually become the richest man.

"Go and tell them, don't let anyone in the government office spread rumors..." Su Wu ordered.

"Okay, I'll go and tell him right away. My brother doesn't have the time to do these things..." Li Cheng turned around and left.

Feeling a little depressed, Su Wu walked out of the government gate, looked around, and had no choice but to go to Meng Yulou's house to explain or comfort her...

On the contrary, there is something wrong.

Su Wu stopped and saw a young man carrying a basket of pears on the street. He kept glancing at him, as if he had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Su Wu raised his hand and said, "Come here!"

The young man really didn't run away, but came over. Without waiting for Su Wu to speak, he took out a letter from the basket and said, "Captain Su, someone asked me to wait here and give you a letter."

Su Wu took the letter, looked at the young man again, and asked, "Are you Yun Ge'er?"

"Ah? The captain actually knows my name?" The young man was very happy.

Su Wu took out some money from his pocket and said, "Here..."

Yun Ge'er waved his hands repeatedly: "I have already given it."

"Just take it..." Su Wu put it directly into the basket.

"Thank you, Captain. Thank you, Captain..." The young man just kept bowing.

"Okay, go ahead and hang around here more often. Next time I need you to run errands for me, I'll ask you to do it." Su Wu didn't have a bad impression of Yun Ge'er.

Yun Ge'er naturally went there.

Su Wu looked at the letter. There was nothing written on the envelope, so he just opened it and read it. There was no beginning or end, just one line of words: My dear, don't worry. I know my heart and soul. The villain is causing trouble. The innocent will be innocent.

No need to think about it, Meng Yulou had someone send it here. He was thinking about whether he should comfort Meng Yulou, but he didn't expect that Meng Yulou was more sensible and came to comfort Su Wu first.

This woman...

He is really magnanimous and has a strong will. He can keep calm despite all the rumors.

Good!

Su Wu chuckled, put the letter away, and stuffed it into his arms, feeling relieved. Never mind about this matter for now, as something big was going to happen tonight.

Wu Song followed Su Wu out and just exchanged glances with him, and then Wu Song left the city.

Su Wu also returned to the yamen and sat down, waiting.

The plan had already been made, and it was simple. Today, Yu Baosi would ask Yun Liwan for some compensation. Yun Liwan would definitely have to reply, and he would not dare to ask anyone else to do it, so he would only let Ximen Qing make a trip.

In this way, Ximen Qing was trapped when he left the city.

Originally he was thinking of slowly taking advantage of Ximen Qing, but now Su Wu's mentality has changed drastically. He decided to strike first, otherwise he would have more trouble.

Since this is the era, many things need to be done more vigorously. It seems unnecessary to take advantage of others. On the contrary, there is nothing wrong with grabbing.

Robbing is the means that should be used in this era. It just depends on whether you rob smartly or not.

He waited until Wu Song came back, and then he found Su Wu and said, "Brother, things have changed."

"How did it change?" Su Wu asked.

Wu Song looked around to see that there was no one around, and said softly, "Yun Liwan and Ximen Qing also asked Yu Baosi to lead you out of the city tonight. I think they must have set an ambush tonight as well."

"What a coincidence..." Su Wu frowned slightly.

"I don't know whether what Yu Baosi said is trustworthy..." Wu Song had another doubt.

Su Wu stood up, took two steps to the left and right, raised his eyebrows, looked fierce, looked at Wu Song, and said, "Tonight is the time to fight for your life!"

"What's there to be afraid of him? Just kill him till heaven and earth are dark." Wu Song's eyes were wide open, and he was full of murderous intent.

"Then you go and tell Yu Baosi to do what Yun Liwan and Ximen Qing tell him tonight..." Su Wu was not panicked because he had already made full preparations.

In this era, you just have to risk your life for a better future!

Yun Liwan and Ximen Qing were just small fry. If they couldn't even get past this level, what was the point of being a thug? How could they face those Liangshan bandits?
How can it possibly rise?

Wu Song had already stood up: "Brother, I will go and answer him."

After saying this, Wu Song stood up and ran away, his steps were astonishingly fast.

Su Wu walked out of the classroom, looked around, and shouted, "Xiaocheng!"

Li Chengli came over immediately and asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"Tonight, carry a crossbow with you and plenty of arrows," Su Wu ordered.

"Oh, okay!" Li Cheng just nodded obediently.

Su Wu also asked: "Do you dare to kill someone?"

Li Cheng just patted his chest and said, "I dare you! I will kill whoever my brother tells me to kill!"

There were a few yamen runners coming and going nearby, thinking that their leader was joking and testing Li Cheng with words...

"Okay!" Su Wu nodded, and went to the government office's storehouse to find a long sword that suits him and sharpen it.
