Water Margin begins as a captain in Yanggu County

Chapter 8 Erlang, you should listen to the words of the captain
Just look at Su Wu in the yamen. He is really majestic and has a fierce look. He looks at Ximen Qing and others, just waiting for Ximen Qing's reply.

Ximen Qing was truly not an ordinary person. He did not rush to answer, but looked neither angry nor happy. Perhaps he was thinking about something.

But a man came out from behind Ximen Qing, looking furious: "What does Su Dutou mean by this? Are we brothers easy to bully?"

Su Wu took a look at him and found that he looked familiar. He knew this man. His name was Yun Lishou, and he was one of the nine sworn brothers of Ximen Qing.

The reason why this guy is so awesome is that his elder brother, Yun Liwan, is the lieutenant general stationed in Yanggu County.

So, Ximen Qing and his gang are actually quite powerful.

Of course, Yun Lishou is not a good person either. He is a bully of men and women. He usually follows Ximen Qing around because he has no legitimate job. Once he becomes successful, even Ximen Qing's widow will not be able to escape his clutches.

Even when Yun Lishou spoke up, Dong Jian, who was standing next to Su Wu, looked a little worried.

Su Wu was also looking at Yun Lishou, who was quite tall and strong.

Su Wu stood up, narrowed his eyes, and said, "You ten brothers have gathered in Yanggu, making a lot of noise. I don't usually see you coming to my place. This time, I'll give you five hundred strings of cash, less one copper coin. I'll teach you my methods someday!"

In the past, Su Wu was obviously a more conventional person, but today is different.

Even Dong Jian looked at his own head with some surprise.

Yun Lishou took another step forward and was about to explain, but Ximen Qing pulled him back and smiled: "Captain Su is now more powerful than before. He is a big shot in this government office. We brothers will go back and discuss this. Captain Su, we will say goodbye now!"

Having said that, Ximen Qing turned around and walked away, waving his folding fan. Yun Lishou followed him, but turned back and glared at Su Wu.

Su Wu did not stop him. He also knew that it was not so easy to get the five hundred strings of cash. It would take a struggle.

Since the conflict has been aroused, we need to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. So we should choose Yun Lishou as the chicken. This chicken looks so majestic and is worth five hundred strings of cash.

As soon as they left, Dong Jian hurriedly said, "Captain, Ximen Qing and Yun Li are guarding them, they are not easy to mess with..."

Su Wu waved his hand and said, "Today is different from the past. We were too honest in the past, so the brothers didn't live well. From now on, life will be different."

Being a yamen runner is a local job. It is not a very good job. It is just a decent job and can only be said to be a way to support the family.

If they become evil and extort money from people who are all locals, they will inevitably be hated by everyone and may get into trouble if they are not careful.

On the contrary, the government office is always changing. When he comes, he makes a fortune from the local wealthy families and then leaves for the next one. He doesn't take care of much and doesn't offend anyone...

So it’s better to be an official.

Dong Jian was actually an honest man from a good family. After hearing what the captain said, he replied, "Captain, we brothers just want to live in peace..."

"Forget it. There's no point in saying more to you. Just wait and see what I can do." Su Wu replied and went out.

Where to go? Go to Wu Song's house. If he really wants to kill people and set fire to them, the yamen runners like Dong Jian around him are actually unreliable. It's not that they are unreliable, but that they are not capable of doing such things.

On the contrary, hunters like Lin Mao and Li Cheng are more reliable.

The most reliable person is Wu Song, a demon-slaying figure who kills without blinking an eye.

Wu Dalang's home is not difficult to find. Just ask on the street and you will find it. It is also a two-story building facing the street. It is rented by Wu Dalang. Knock on the door first.

"Who is it?" It was Wu Da's voice.

"I am the captain of the government office, and I am here to look for your Erlang." Su Wu also brought some gifts, some osmanthus snacks bought on the street, and he had to follow basic etiquette.

When the door opened, it was not Wuhan University, but Wuhan Second University.

Wu Er was very excited: "Brother, why are you here? Please come in! You said you were going to the government office to pay a visit!"

As Su Wu walked in, he said, "I am afraid that your brother will think you are still as dissolute as before and will not believe your words, so I came to your house to help you speak for him."

Wu Song was even more excited. He turned to Wu Dalang and said, "Brother, look, I told you, you still don't believe me, brother is here, right? I really went to the government office to work."

Wu Da bowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Su Dutou, for respecting my brother."

Su Wu hurried forward to help him: "We are family, so there is no need to be so polite. Erlang and I hit it off right away. Who wouldn't like a man like Erlang?"

Wu Song was a man who would give a ten-foot tribute even if someone gave him a foot. He quickly stepped forward to pull Su Wu and said, "Brother, please take a seat. We have prepared wine and food. I will give you a few glasses of good wine. Come on, take a seat."

"Who's here?" A woman came out of the side room, holding a dish in her hand, walking gracefully and elegantly. At a glance, her waist was slightly twisted, and her figure was well-proportioned. At a glance, her eyebrows were like spring willows, her eyes were charming, and her two little cheeks were rosy and moving, and she looked very happy and a little springy.

Pan Jinlian!
After seeing this, it's no wonder that Ximen Qing was so fascinated that he couldn't walk after just one look. Not everyone can withstand it.

But Wu Song was able to withstand it, and Su Wu was too knowledgeable and could withstand it easily as well.

"Sister-in-law, this is Su Dutou from our county government." Wu Song was very excited and introduced him directly.

"Oh? Could it be that Su Dutou who went out alone to fight a tiger in the middle of the night?" Pan Jinlian looked at Su Wu with a smile in her eyes, and she also looked him up and down.

"That's right!" Wu Song spoke faster than anyone else.

"It's really Su Dutou in person? As expected... tall, mighty, handsome and extraordinary. I'm honored to meet you!" Pan Jinlian lowered her head slightly, bowed, but still looked at him sideways.

Just look, she took the initiative to look, but it was as if she was being peeped at, and she avoided his gaze and was a little shy.

Su Wu felt his whole body tremble at being looked at. This woman was no worse than the giant beast on Jingyang Ridge.

"Nice to meet you!" Su Wu raised his hand slightly.

After seeing Su Wu, Pan Jinlian went to see her uncle Wu Song, who was even more enthusiastic and greeted them: "Everyone, please sit down and try my cooking. Today is a great day. Uncle is back and the captain is here. I am very happy..."

Wu Dalang is really an honest man, with just a silly smile on his face. When it comes to entertaining guests, he is far inferior to Pan Jinlian.

Everyone sat down and talked for a while. Pan Jinlian picked up the wine glass and said, "Why doesn't Dalang toast to the captain? How can I neglect such a great favor from the captain? Then let me toast..."

"Okay, okay..." Su Wu took the wine and drank it.

Wu Song was very carefree: "Brother, have another drink, I toast to you!"

"Cheers!" Su Wu raised the cup and drank.

"I like people like you who are straightforward. This small cup is not straightforward and is used by women. How about a bowl?" Wu Song became interested.

"That's exactly what I want!" Su Wu waved his hand and did it.

"I'll go get it..." Pan Jinlian had already stood up, and Wu Dalang beside her just nodded: "Okay, okay..."

"Go!" Su Wu took the lead!

After finishing this bowl, Su Wu said, "Tomorrow, Erlang will come to the yamen to work. Don't play around. Since you are doing serious work, you should behave yourself."

Wu Dalang nodded and said, "Erlang, you should listen to the captain's words."

Wu Song finished his bowl and wiped his mouth: "Brother and brother, don't worry. I am not young anymore. I have been away for more than a year and I have seen the ups and downs of life. I can only thank you for your kindness in bringing me up and your love for me. I dare not slack off!"

"Good days are coming..." Pan Jinlian was also very happy. She had her own thoughts.

She was originally a servant in Mr. Zhang's house. She was bullied by Mr. Zhang and then beaten and insulted by the mistress, and was given to Wu Dalang as his wife.

Wu Dalang was an honest man who only knew how to sell pancakes all day long. Although he was not cold or hungry, people still had other needs, and that was face.

If you live with Wu Dalang, you will lose your dignity and everyone who sees you will inevitably laugh at you.

Little did he know that Wu Dalang had such a younger brother. Now, this younger brother was also valued by the tiger-fighting hero. It seemed that he was finally proud of himself. In the future, he would be able to hold his head up high in Yanggu County.

After three rounds of drinking, Su Wu stopped drinking. It was impossible for him to drink more than Wu Song, so Su Wu wanted to stay sober, so he stood up and said goodbye.

The whole family rushed out to see him off, and when they got to the street, they had to pull the child around for a while.

Finally, Su Wu reminded him: "Erlang, drink less, don't delay tomorrow's event."

"Don't worry, brother. I won't eat it now!"

Wu Song is a man of his word. He really doesn't drink when he goes home.

It was the herbal medicine shop of Mr. Ximen that was bustling with activity.

(I don’t know if there are any brothers watching, please leave a message, give a vote, and make a little movement to comfort them…)
