Water Margin begins as a captain in Yanggu County

Chapter 36 Is it Su Wu again?
Su Wu immediately said: "The Liangshan bandits are the biggest thieves of the imperial court. They are hated by Grand Tutor Cai and Liang Zhongshu of Daming Prefecture. I think it would be better to send the captured people directly to Liang Zhongshu's office in Daming Prefecture, and also send these case files to Daming Prefecture..."

"Go on..." Cheng Wanli frowned and thought.

"Sir, it's like this. The soldiers of Dongping Prefecture are unreliable. Sir, write a letter and I will bring it to Liang Zhongshu in person. Sending the thieves away is one of the options. In this way, Liang Zhongshu will definitely be happy and it will not be difficult to borrow soldiers. As long as the soldiers of Daming Prefecture can arrive in Dongping Prefecture, the matter of Dongping will be safe."

Su Wu had no choice but to make things so complicated. If he had had a capable army, not too many, just a few hundred or a thousand people, he would not have made things so complicated.

It is really difficult to deal with this lunatic Dong Ping. Who is in Daming Prefecture at this time?

Vanguard Suo Chao, Suo Chao is currently serving as the military commander in Daming Prefecture. He is also one of the top fighters in Water Margin, and is on a similar level to the Green-faced Beast Yang Zhi.

Suo Chao was a brave and courageous man who fought in battle.

Cheng Wanli listened to Su Wu's words, thought about it, and nodded: "You are more thoughtful than me. You are really extraordinary. If you don't understand this, you may lose your life if you are not careful. Okay, let's do this. You take those bandits to Daming Mansion to see Liang Zhongshu and quickly move troops. I will write the letter right away..."

As he spoke, Cheng Wanli stood up and went straight to the long desk in the study without calling anyone.

Su Wu also went with them. He ground the ink while Cheng Wanli wrote.

It was obvious that Cheng Wanli was really frightened. Just now, he couldn't help but think of the scene where the unruly man was attacked by swords and axes. He looked at Su Wu again and secretly rejoiced: "You are really extraordinary!"

Civil servants like Cheng Wanli had been in high office for so long that they had no idea that troubled times were coming and only thought that the world was still peaceful.

At that time in the Song Dynasty, most of the civil servants were like this.

It was only after Cheng Wanli truly saw what kind of person Dong Ping was, and after Su Wu's reminder, that he became a little alert. Otherwise, the whole family would have ended up being wiped out.

Su Wu, who was grinding ink, only replied: "Sir, you are a scholar, you don't know the evil of ordinary people."

Even in the Song Dynasty, no husband could have imagined that his family would be wiped out just because he was unwilling to marry his daughter to a warrior.

Soon, the letter was written. Cheng Wanli leaned over and blew on it several times to dry the ink. He folded it, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Su Wu.

He also said, "You should leave the city immediately without any delay."

Su Wu simply stuffed the letter into his arms, bowed slightly, turned around and left.

We should ride fast and leave the city as soon as possible. We cannot stay in the city any longer. If we stay any longer, Dong Ping might get the news and come to cause trouble again.

It was dusk when they left the city. Su Wu was riding a horse at full speed. He glanced around and saw an acquaintance coming towards the city, also on a horse, whose speed was slowing down, and followed by five or six other horsemen.

Looking closely, it turned out to be Yun Liwan.

Yun Liwan seemed to have seen him as well. What a coincidence! Yun Liwan waved his hand quickly: "Su Dutou."

Su Dutou pretended not to see or hear anything and just rode his horse towards Yanggu County, which is the direction of Daming Prefecture.

Yun Liwan called out again, "Su Dutou, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

Su Dutou rode away at full speed without even looking back, but it was Wu Song who turned around and glared at him.

Yun Liwan was even more shocked when he saw Su Wuli running away without paying any attention to him. He said to his left and right, "This is really bad! Hurry up, hurry up, get into the city!"

Why is it really bad? Su Wu was still running on the road between Dongping Prefecture and Yanggu County, but Ximen Qing had disappeared. The situation must have been the worst outcome.

Time was of the essence, so we had to hurry to the city and go straight to Dong Ping's house. We also brought another wooden box, which was bigger and heavier.

Dong Ping and Yun Liwan were old acquaintances, with a superior-subordinate relationship. He only heard Yun Liwan's urgent words.

Dong Ping only asked one question: "Is it Su Wu again?"

"It was Su Wu, the captain. He really didn't care about the feelings of his colleagues and insisted on killing me. I also asked Meng Yi, the magistrate of Yanggu County, but Meng Yi only said that the matter had been reported to the prefectural government. I had no choice but to come to find the general!"

"How can you be considered as colleagues with that small captain of the county government? You are really useless. A small captain of the county government can force you into this state." Dong Ping was really angry.

"Who says it's not true? I don't know whose influence he is relying on to look down on others. It turns out that he is relying on the influence of the new prefect... I'm afraid this matter is not directed at me... General..."

Yun Liwan was also good at talking, and it was obvious that he had heard about Dong Ping's recent experiences.

Dong Ping frowned, looked at Yun Liwan, and asked, "Why? Are you coming here for me?"

Yun Liwan did not give a direct answer, but only said: "The prefect is very clever!"

Dong Ping paced back and forth and cursed: "You bastard! You rely on a eunuch to be an official... This is really the way the world is now. People with ability are not valued, and people without balls run rampant in the court. Filthy people sit in the prefectures, and the officials on the steps of the palace are all rotten wood!"

The curse was not directed at Su Wu, but at the prefect Cheng Wanli who was unwilling to marry his daughter to Dong Ping, and also at Cheng Wanli's benefactor Tong Guan, who was born a eunuch and was a worthless person.

After cursing, Dong Ping felt relieved and said, "No wonder Su Wu happened to appear in front of the prefectural government that day. Cheng Wanli knew that the fellow had killed a tiger, so he thought he was a big shot and wanted to recruit him to fight against me. No wonder he really dared to fight with me!"

Yun Liwan asked again: "He is still fighting with the general? What should we do in the current situation?"

"Where are the people Su Wu captured now?" Dong Ping asked.

Yun Liwan thought for a moment and immediately replied, "It must be in the prison of the prefectural government office."

"How do you know?" Dong Ping asked again.

"Just now at dusk, when I entered the city, I saw the man riding his horse out of the city. I saw it clearly. I called him and he just rode away without paying any attention. He must have sent the man to the government office."

Yun Liwan is extremely certain.

"What? He came into the city today?" Dong Ping felt that he had missed a good opportunity.

"Exactly!"

"It's difficult this time. The people are already in the jail of the prefectural yamen. I'm afraid it will be difficult to control them..." Dong Ping paced again, thinking of a solution.

Yun Liwan immediately said, "That fellow didn't leave the man in Yanggu County for trial, but sent him to the government office. He wanted to fabricate charges to arrest the official. After arresting the official, he would fabricate more charges..."

Speaking of this, Yun Liwan didn’t say everything…

Why did Yun Liwan fabricate charges against him?
Dong Ping's face turned fierce: "Come on, follow me to the government prison to take a look!"

Yun Liwan was delighted and immediately went out to shout, "Hurry, hurry, the general is leaving!"

In the yard, some people were calling people, and some were preparing horses.
