Water Margin Survival

Chapter 223 Confiscating the house, cutting off the tongue, taking in, leaving

Thanks to the county lieutenant, he brought a hundred and ten people out to arrest the important criminals, so when the soldiers guarding the city saw the bound Wu Song and the county lieutenant, the gates of the city were swindled open like this.At this time, the real guards were still dragging their legs, sucking dust behind the horses.

Wu Song took the lead, and galloped to the front of his old house with the five hundred or so riders. When everyone got off their horses to rectify, Cao Zheng's wife couldn't help but feel sad, rushed in to the door, touched the scene, and shed tears.

I saw 37 high-quality coffins neatly placed in the courtyard. It seems that the magistrate has not sent anyone to search the house for the time being.After Wu Song and Jiao Ting first bowed to the coffin, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng asked the people to come in in batches to salute the brothers who died in battle.After that, several leaders got together to discuss the specific action plan for tonight.

"Uncles, there is someone here, we must not let him go!" Cao Zheng's family wiped away tears and cried.

"Who is sister-in-law talking about?" Wu Song asked.

"It's Wang Po who opened a tea shop next to the Nujia Hotel. This person and Ximen Qing were in cahoots. After the slave man was kicked out that day, within an hour, Ximen Qing called someone over to take revenge, and my shop assistants cleaned up all of them. , Then there was the matter of Ximen Qing colluding with Wang Aihu!" Cao Zheng said.

Wu Song said "Mmm", his eyes became sharper, he looked at Jiao Ting, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng and said: "Three brothers, since we are here, we must not make this trip in vain, some things should be settled eventually!"

"Brother orders, I will obey Brother Wu Song's orders this time, so please give me the order!" The three said in unison.

"Okay!" Wu Song yelled, and issued an order: "Brother Lu Fang, take 200 troops and go straight to Ximen Qing's house. Brother Guo Sheng, take 100 troops and go straight to the county captain's house. , Grain, medicinal materials, and livestock are all transported to the cottage! Please also ask my sister-in-law to send three or five brothers who are familiar with the path to lead the way!"

"Decree!" Lu Fang and Guo Sheng shouted loudly. With Wang Lun's order before, these two people naturally would not have any objections, but Guo Sheng asked: "The county captain is tied up outside at this time, do you want to kill him with a knife?" ?”

"This guy is a local. He has been corrupting his wealth all his life, and I will vacate it later. It's more uncomfortable than killing him!" Wu Song said.Guo Shengjian nodded in agreement, and said, "Does the county magistrate copy it?"

Wu Song sighed, and said: "This man is kind to me, I hope you brothers will look at me, don't bother him, brother, I will explain it myself!"

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng looked at each other and nodded silently. At this moment, Jiao Ting suddenly said: "Brother Wu Song, don't worry, brother won't blame you!" Seeing his confident expression, Wu Song shook his head and smiled, and said : "Sister-in-law and I are going to find the Wang Po! The Jiao Ting brothers took 50 people to go together, and the rest of the brothers stayed here, and a capable leader guarded the remains of the brothers."

Cao Zheng's family nodded repeatedly.It's just that Zhang San was guarding the city gate with a hundred cavalry at that time.Jiao Ting turned around and asked Li Si to take people to guard here, and when he got the cart from Ximen Qing's house, he came back to carry the bodies of the brothers, and Li Si immediately took it.

The distribution of the people has been decided, and I saw that Lu Fang and Guo Sheng rushed to Ximen Qing's house with their people. Wu Song glanced at the coffin in the courtyard, drew his knife out of its sheath, and went across the street to look for the old lady. It was tightly closed, and Wu Song broke open the door with one foot, but there was no one there. Just as he was getting annoyed, there was a sudden noise from the end of the street.

I saw two big men standing guard dragging a half-grown child over, the child was overjoyed when he approached, and said, "It's really Wudutou!"

"This kid is hiding and spying, and I will catch him later!" The two said.

Wu Song waved his hand, Jiao Ting said: "Let go!"

Seeing this, the two let the child go, and Wu Song asked, "Brother Yun, it's midnight, you're not at home to take care of your father, what are you doing here?"

It turned out that the child was Brother Yun, and he bowed his head and said embarrassingly: "Dutou, you and Dalang are gone, and I am as lonely as before in this city, with no one to talk to! Wudutou, can you please?" Take me with you..."

Wu Songjian said after thinking for a while, "Do you know what I'm going to do? You are still young at this time, and you don't understand some things. Listen to me, go back and serve your father well, and be a decent man!" Seeing this, Jiao Ting hurriedly took 20 taels of silver and handed it to Wu Song. Wu Song took it and handed it to Brother Yun.

Seeing that Wu Song rejected his request and didn't want the money, Brother Yun burst into tears and cried, "I don't know what you are going to do. I only know that I will be the only one left from now on, my father." His body is weak, and I'm afraid that one day he won't be able to sell a few pears, and his medicine will be broken!"

Cao Zheng's family couldn't bear it, stepped forward to embrace the child, turned to look at Wu Song and said: "This child is so pitiful, he drags his father to support the family with such urinating, why don't we take him up the mountain together, and let him follow our husband and wife Two, ask Dr. An to give his father a diagnosis and see if he can cure the disease!"

When the child heard this, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his dim eyes, and he only looked at Wu Song with pleading eyes. In this dark night, matched with his thin and thin body, his eyes looked like street vagabonds. Homeless puppy kitten.

Wu Song's heart softened, recalling the scene when his elder brother dragged him when he was beating him, he sighed and said, "Think it over, if you follow me, maybe it's the crime of beheading!"

This child is very clever, and he has already guessed where Wu Song is going from Mrs. Cao Zheng's words. He knelt down quickly and said, "As long as I can cure my father's illness, I will go anywhere! I just ask you to wear a headband." I went to Liangshan, and I will never regret it in this life!"

Wu Song sighed, seeing his tone was very resolute, he thought that the child would have no way out if he stayed here, so he nodded his head immediately, the child saw it.Immediately overjoyed and rejoiced, Mrs. Cao Zheng was also happy when she saw her, patted his head and said: "Go back and clean up, we are going out of the city soon!"

Brother Yun nodded and ran home.Just ran a few steps and turned back.He said to Wu Song: "Du Tou is the woman who is looking for this tea shop? She is not here now, she has gone home to hide!"

Wu Song was overjoyed and said, "Do you know where her home is?"

Brother Yun hurriedly nodded and led the way ahead. Jiao Ting called everyone to go with the child. The group turned a few streets and came to a tea shop. Brother Yun grew up here and was there every day. The gangsters on the street naturally knew about this woman's dirty work, and told Wu Song all the way. When he came to the door of the woman's house, Wu Song was furious and kicked the door away, and the woman heard it. There was a noise, and I went down to investigate, and when I saw Wu Song, I was so frightened that my soul flew out, and said bitterly: "It's not me...it's not me...it's all done by Ximen Qing!"

Mrs. Cao Zheng rushed forward, grabbed the old lady, slapped her face from head to toe, and slapped her hard. Every time she slapped her, she announced a person's name. She slapped her 37 times before giving up.

The woman's face was swollen like a pig's head, she howled loudly and said, "What's wrong with me, you're treating me like this!"

Seeing that she still refused to admit it, Wu Song was furious, and shouted: "You old woman is disrespectful and devoid of conscience! For your own selfish desires, you have seduced so many women, facilitated so many adulteries, and tore up so many families. Is this not a crime?! My lord, I will not kill you today, but just take the things you always show off to hurt people!"

Wang Po was so drunk by Wu Song that she couldn't argue, she turned around and was about to run upstairs, but Wu Song stepped forward, knocked her over, stretched out his hand and pinched her cheeks, the old woman's mouth opened unconsciously, Wu Song She took a sharp knife, put it in and stirred it, the woman yelled like she was killing a pig, she felt the blood in her mouth was bloody, and the pain was unbearable, she spitting on the ground, sticking out half of her tongue.

"It's true that good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. You old bug biter, Ma Boliu, will have today!" Brother Yun cursed secretly, feeling very happy in his heart, to see what this woman would do to harm people in the future.

Wu Song saw that the old lady got the punishment she deserved, so she turned around and left. Jiao Ting spit on the ground, and then went out. Wu Song asked Brother Yun, "Can your father get out of bed at this time?"

Brother Yun nodded quickly. During this period of time, he had a bit more money, so he hired a highly skilled and expensive doctor to treat his father. Sure enough, after taking a few good medicines, his life improved, and he was able to go for a walk.

"Then you take my father to the east gate and wait. When you meet our gatekeepers, you go directly to Zhang San, the street mouse, and say that I called you!" Wu Song instructed.

Brother Yun hurriedly nodded and went, Wu Song took people back and turned back, just passing by a large courtyard, Wu Song looked in, thought for a while, and then stepped in, Jiao Ting naturally followed, and as soon as he entered, he saw several night watchmen The yamen servant was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly: "All... all... all heads..."

"Where is the county magistrate?" Wu Song asked.

Before these people had time to answer, they saw a person walking out from behind, the person looked at Wu Song with extremely complicated eyes, finally let out a wry smile, and said: "Unexpectedly, on that day, I invited a Dutou who took my surname! When you are alive, watch other people's excitement, and tomorrow, I'm afraid people will laugh at me, a stupid official who dug his own grave!"

Wu Song didn't pick up his words, but just cupped his hands and said: "Master, Wu Song came in this time just to bid farewell to him...Thank you for your kindness, I will see you later!"

Wu Song bowed, turned around and left, the county magistrate was stunned on the spot, but when he saw Wu Song's figure was about to disappear into the corner, he hurriedly shouted: "You don't hate me?"

Wu Song stopped when he heard the words, turned his head and smiled, and said, "I don't hate now!"

The county magistrate sighed and explained: "Wu Song, I really can't help myself. If I convict Ximen Qing for you, I will violate the taboo of being an official..."

Hearing this, Wu Song turned around and walked to the front of the hall, pointed to the words "clean, upright and strict" on the court hall, and said: "If you do these four words, it is a taboo, and I, Wu Song, have nothing to say!" Wu Song After a pause, he said word by word: "Master, if you make the people hopeless, when disaster strikes, don't blame them for watching your miserable situation with cold eyes!"
