Water Margin begins as a captain in Yanggu County

Chapter 33: Village Master Lin, nice to meet you!

Ximen Qing was still looking around, but he was really afraid to come out.

But he saw Wu Song was already heading there, still cursing: "You bastard, I'll kill you with my sword."

Ximen Qing came out immediately and said repeatedly: "Captain, I am just an obedient errand boy. It was the military officer Yun Liwan who planned this matter..."

Wu Song walked up to Ximen Qing and put the knife on his neck, then he walked back holding the back of Ximen Qing's collar with one hand.

Under Wu Song's tremendous strength, Ximen Qing's legs kept moving and he was already in front of Su Wu.

Wu Song raised his leg and kicked Ximen Qing in the calf: "Kneel down and talk to my brother."

Ximen had no choice but to kneel down and was about to open his mouth to explain, but Su Wu waved his hand and turned back to ask, "Where is the other hero from Liangshan Marsh?"

The red-haired ghost Liu Tang had already figured out the situation and shouted again: "I wonder which hero is here? I am a brother of King Chao, and I have a deep friendship with Song Yashi..."

Liu Tang mentioned all the famous names that could be mentioned, including Chao Gai, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, who was very famous in the surrounding provinces and cities.

Song Jiang, the bailiff of Yuncheng, was a timely rain from the martial arts world. Whenever people from the martial arts world came to him for help in an emergency, he would always help them generously. Even in Shandong, countless people had benefited from his kindness.

If they are good guys in the martial arts world, these two people will often have miraculous effects when they are brought out.

However, this time, it seemed to have no effect. Although those men holding bows and crossbows looked like they were from some mountain village, no one reacted.

However, a big man walked up to the leader and bowed: "Brother, we brothers have not lost face, have we?"

Su Wu only praised: "My brothers, each of you has amazing archery skills. It really opened my eyes."

"Hehe... Brother, you are too kind." Lin Mao bowed, smiled happily, and turned around: "Brother, I will go and fetch that guy!"

As he said that, Lin Mao pulled out his hatchet and headed towards where Liu Tang was hiding. Several people followed him, each of them drawing their bows and drawing arrows, and they were quite cautious.

"Come out!" Lin Mao shouted as he approached.

Liu Tang also understood the situation. He stood up and came out from behind the tree, with his broadsword already laid down. He looked at Lin Mao and asked, "Which mountain are you from, brother?"

"Tie him up!" Lin Mao raised his hand and waved.

All the brothers rushed forward, tied Liu Tang tightly, and dragged him to Su Wu.

"Where is your stronghold, brother? Maybe you are old acquaintance with my brother?" Liu Tang kept talking. He had always been a fool, but now he seemed to have become smarter.

It was Lin Mao and the others, and they really looked like men from some mountain stronghold.

It was Su Wu who answered: "This brother Lin is the head of Jingyang Village."

Lin Mao was stunned. Where did this Jingyang Village come from?

But if Su Wu says yes, then yes...

Of course there would be. Jingyanggang is a good place. Although the terrain of Jingyanggang is not dangerous, there are dangerous places on both sides of Jingyanggang. Therefore, Jingyanggang has become an important road.

If we set up a stronghold around Jingyang Ridge, and not do anything else, and do not rob or loot, or fight or kill, but just collect a small toll, it must be a huge sum of money.

Isn’t this the way to get rich?

Nowadays, Shandong, and even the entire Song Dynasty, is full of strongholds. There are government strongholds and strongholds of outlaws.

Why not have more villages in Jingyanggang? More villages provide more security.

This is the smart way of snatching.

Liu Tang listened to it seriously and said, "Hmm? I have never heard of a stronghold on Jingyang Ridge before?" Su Wu replied, "I have heard of it now, haven't I?"

Liu Tang seemed to have suddenly realized something and nodded: "Master Lin, nice to meet you!"

Lin Mao frowned and cursed, "You idiot, stop trying to get involved! Who knows your brother?"

Su Wu raised his hand slightly: "Okay, okay, everyone is here. I'm afraid those on the ground can't be saved, but since they are all from Liangshan, they should be worth a few strings of money. Tie up the five of them, the more alive they are worth, clean them up, and send them to Daming Mansion together with Liu Tang. Liang Zhongshu will not treat them badly."

Wu Song laughed and said, "Brother, this way you can make money quickly. If you capture all the people on Mount Liang, won't you get rich?"

Liu Tang suddenly changed his attitude. It was useless to try to make excuses. He just flew into a rage and said, "Su Wu, if you let me go, it will be fine. If not, as soon as my Liangshan army arrives, I will kill your entire family!"

Wu Song went up to him and slapped him: "How dare you be so violent!"

Wu Song's slap made Liu Tang's eyes suddenly clear. He was groggy and his head was buzzing.

It stopped.

Su Wu looked at Ximen Qing again, and Ximen Qing immediately smiled and said, "Captain Su, if the five hundred strings of cash are not enough, I can go home and get more. I will pay it back every month from now on. I dare not refuse."

Su Wu nodded and asked, "How much wealth do you have?"

Ximen Qing managed to smile more: "The house and yard, the sale of herbal medicine, and some usury outside, there are always seven or eight thousand strings of cash. In the future, all the businesses on the street will have a share."

"You're not that rich, are you?" Su Wu was slightly disappointed.

"If you follow the captain in the future, won't you become rich?" Ximen Qing is actually a great scheming man. In this world, as long as he is given the opportunity, he can really become rich.

"Let me ask you something first..." Su Wu said as he put the long sword back into the tattered scabbard at his waist.

"Tell everything you know and say it without reservation." Ximen Qing is very clever.

"What you did today was what Yun Liwan told you to do, right?" Su Wu asked first.

"Yes, yes, it's all his fault." Ximen Qing had already said this, so he just nodded now. As long as he could save his life, he would agree to anything. Once he got out of this predicament, he could think of other things later.

"Then it shouldn't be difficult to record a confession and have you sign it?" Su Wu asked again.

Ximen Qing hesitated for a moment, but nodded: "It's not difficult... I've dealt with everything, and I can tell you everything clearly."

"Let's go find a place to talk it out." Su Wu is the evil nemesis of Yanggu County and a public official in the yamen. He has to do things in an orderly manner and handle cases according to procedures.

As they spoke, everyone stood up, picked up their weapons, carried the corpses, tied up the living ones and dragged them away. Instead of returning to the county town, they all headed towards Jingyang Ridge.

Seeing that the road they were taking was not to the city, Ximen Qing immediately became anxious: "Captain Su, aren't we going to the county government office to handle cases?"

Obviously Ximen Qing knew that as long as he returned to the county government office, Yun Liwan would receive the news and would be as anxious as an ant on hot pan, trying every means to save people.

Now the situation has already involved the Liangshan bandits, so how can Yun Liwan not risk his life?

This was the way out that Ximen Qing had just thought of.

How could Su Wu not know what Ximen Qing was thinking? He just said to Wu Song: "Give him a shot too."

Wu Song raised his hand and slapped Ximen Qing with a palm-leaf fan. Ximen Qing's clever eyes became much clearer, and one eye looked to the left, while the other looked to the right.

It has also stopped...
