Water Margin Survival

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the blizzard in Fengfu County, Xiqing Prefecture, which lasted from the end of the year to the beginning of the year, finally stopped. Early in the morning, all the respectable people in the county came to the gate of the city to see off the magistrate who had personally come to participate in the disaster relief.

Cheng Wanli looked a little tired, and because he missed his daughter so much, he didn't have much fluff with the county magistrate. He just asked him again to properly arrange the disaster relief materials brought by the mansion this time, and settle the victims. The people's lives were not settled, so they gathered into bandits and harmed the village.

The magistrate was obedient, but when his immediate boss was about to leave, he emphasized that he felt guilty for not letting the husband have a good year this time.

Cheng Wanli didn't care too much about these things, and after a few words of comfort to his subordinates, he said goodbye to everyone, and brought the soldiers who came with the relief supplies to look south and return to the house.

Because the weather was cold and the snow hadn't melted, they walked very slowly. When they returned to Xiqing Mansion, it was already two days later at night. When people meet each other, Wang Ting brings bad news to the old acquaintance before Nian has time to pay homage: his niece is missing.

Cheng Wanli was shocked, and hurriedly asked for details, Wang Bao told the truth: "On New Year's Eve, my younger brother thought that my niece would not be busy at home alone, so I planned to ask her to come over for a reunion dinner, but my elder brother's concierge called her a slut. I went out at the end of the month, as if I took my nanny around to seek medical treatment, and my grandma and maid also followed me!"

Seeing this situation, Cheng Wanli calmed down and said, "Since we are seeking medical treatment, nine out of ten of them will be in the famous doctor's office in the nearby state capital. Let's find out according to the picture! My dear brother, did you say anything about my nanny's illness? "

"It seems that the illness is not serious! According to our state capital, there are still a few well-known doctors. If it is a general illness, it will not be helpless, causing the girl to take the nanny to seek medical treatment!" Wang Bing thought After thinking about it, "The nanny is sick, she is still so attentive, but she is a sweetheart, it seems that this girl's temper is just like your brother's!"

Cheng Wanli waved his hand and said: "If there was no nanny back then, my daughter would not have existed. Now the nanny is sick. She should do her best, but she shouldn't leave without saying goodbye!"

Wang Ting nodded and sighed: "If you say that this girl is sensible, she is also sensible, and she is always afraid of troubling others! To say that she is ignorant is indeed a bit reckless, the three of them, what should I do if I meet a bad person on the road with a patient? "

Cheng Wanli lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "I'm not worried about this, and I don't know if the people in Shandong are simple or what. I have been here for almost a year, and there are very few cases of evil deeds reported to the government office. It is the county below, the county magistrate People say that fewer and fewer people are filing complaints, and there are basically no robberies or thefts in the territory! I have been an official close to the people for half my life, and this attack on the Qing Mansion is the strangest situation!"

Hearing this, Wang Bao gave a wry smile.Said: "There is no little thief, but the big thief can't wait to turn the sky over!" After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but glanced at the BMW under his crotch.Shaking his head sighingly.To be precise, this can be regarded as "stolen goods from thieves", but Wang Ting just couldn't bear to exchange it. First, it was a gift from Lin Chong himself, and second, even though it is rare, it is not worth a lot of money.Three to gallop on the battlefield in the future, it can be of great help.

"I think it may be because of the existence of Liangshanbo, including the so-called program they implemented, which in a sense has affected the law and order and atmosphere in the surrounding counties of Shuibo! Wealthy households dare not oppress tenants, and robbers do not Dare to commit crimes here, corrupt officials restrain themselves and dare not be greedy, and the contradictions that appear to be very sharp in other places in the Great Song Dynasty seem to have disappeared in our state capitals!" Cheng Wanli said here, with a wry smile,

"It's ironic that a cottage that occupies the mountain as king can actually affect the social atmosphere in a place within his power!"

Wang Bao shook his head, neither echoed nor opposed Cheng Zhifu's views, but only reported: "Just a few days ago, the imperial court's conquest army was completely annihilated, and Liu Yu, the prefect of Lingzhou who led the army, was defeated and fled without a trace. The deputy general Guan Yunchang's descendants Dadao Guan Sheng and the county king's son-in-law Xuanzan both died in battle, and the two regiments in Lingzhou had surrendered Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo! In this battle, Liangshan had more than ten thousand prisoners. The power seems to be like a snowball, and it will get bigger and bigger, and I am afraid that it will be a confidant of the imperial court in the future!"

Cheng Wanli nodded and sighed: "So we don't know if it's a blessing or a curse when we are beside him!"

"It hasn't been two or three years since Liangshanbo rose. The former magistrate of Jeju was simply raising tigers. When they had only a few hundred people, what did they do? Yunzhou is also the same. Liangshanbo is only a few steps away from him, but he is like It’s like a normal person, just sit back and watch, now it’s all right? The two state capitals have become the backyard of Liangshanbo. When the imperial army came to conquer, they couldn’t get supplies on the spot. The two places are still not my Great Song territory!"

Wang Ting said angrily that he and Lin Chong had an old relationship, and he could understand his choice, but he couldn't make him agree with the armed separatist Liang Shanbo, even Wang Lun could be counted as saving his life.

"Cai Xianggong will not let it go this time. How can he allow a gangster to show off his power in front of him? I think it won't be long before the flames of war will resume again! Brother, you should train your soldiers a lot. Maybe one day the order to help the war will be made. Come down!" Cheng Wanli said.

"This is the younger brother's job, don't worry, brother!" Wang Ting nodded in response.

Cheng Wanli said "hmm" and didn't speak for a long time, but suddenly asked without thinking, "Dong Ping, what do you think?"

"Outstanding martial arts, high ability, if I go out, I will make him the vanguard!" Wang Bing said bluntly without even thinking about it.

"He's tired of sending people over to propose marriage, and wants me to betroth my daughter to him! Wan'er calls your uncle, what do you mean as an uncle?" Cheng Wanli asked.

"No!" Wang Ting also said firmly.

Cheng Wanli signaled Wang Tin to speak directly, and only heard Wang Tin say: "This man is romantic and frivolous by nature, and he is not worth entrusting to him for life. If a girl marries him, it will be ruined!"

Cheng Wanli nodded noncommittally. At this time, he could already see the torches burning on the city wall. Cheng Wanli ordered the general to take Xiang Jun back to settle him down. He and Wang Jin flew into the city and hurried to the mansion.

As soon as the two arrived in front of the yamen, they saw a member of the general Xiao, in armor, wandering around the door. When he saw the two of them, he hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects. Cheng Wanli and Wang Tin looked at each other, thinking that Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived, so he got off his horse and returned the greeting. , asked: "Is there something wrong with Dong Dujian?"

"I heard that Wan'er disappeared, and the young general was anxious, so I came here..." Dong Ping said straight to the point.

Hearing him call his niece by her boudoir name rudely, Wang Jin frowned slightly, and Cheng Wanli felt generally uncomfortable, but felt that the other party had good intentions and didn't care about him, so he led the two of them into the back hall, and Cheng Wanli, the old concierge, Come out and say: "Master, you are back, little lady, she hasn't come back yet!"

"Didn't you say where you went?" Dong Ping hurriedly asked.

Old Cheng knew that his master didn't like this person very much, so he just watched Cheng Zhifu not answer him, and Dong Ping asked Lao Cheng as if there was no one else around. superior!"

Dong Ping was speechless, Cheng Wanli spoke up and asked his family, "What's going on?"

"Old Liu's family had a sudden intestinal ulcer, and the doctors in the house were helpless. It happened that the famous doctor Zhao in Qizhou was here. Old Liu invited him here, but he also said that he couldn't cure it. Later, the young lady begged him hard, so he just They say that only a man named An Daoquan in Liangshanbo can rule the world..." Before the old Cheng could finish his sentence, Dong Ping cut him off and scolded:

"Doctor Zhao from Qizhou is a spy sent by Liang Shanbo to coax Wan'er! I'll order soldiers right away, capture this guy and come back to torture him!"

"Dong Dujian! The matter of Mrs. Cheng, let the magistrate make the decision!" Wang Ting said with emphasis.

"Sir, I'll go now..." Dong Ping didn't give up, and turned to Cheng Wanli.

Cheng Wanli entered the inner hall without saying a word, Wang Ting ignored Dong Ping, and strode up to follow, Dong Ping cursed inwardly, but felt that Wang Ting was in the way when he followed, stamped his feet, turned around and walked towards the barracks .

Cheng Wanli and Wang Ting didn't take Dong Ping to heart, they sat down, and only listened to Wang Ting's words: "There is indeed Dr. Zhao in Qizhou, brother, you can invite the top figures in Xinglin in this prefecture to ask questions, and you will know how to give the girl advice." Is he the one on the road!"

"It doesn't matter whether it's him or not. The important thing is that the girl has gone to Liangshan now!" Cheng Wanli sighed and said, "She and Lao Liu's family are as close as mother and daughter, and she will not ignore her serious illness anyway. of!"

"What do you plan to do, brother?" Wang Ting shook the saber at his waist, looking at Cheng Wanli with resolute eyes and asked.

"Sit, sit! Brother, it's not just a matter of a day or two for Wang Lun to have a free clinic around Shuibo, and I haven't heard that he has harmed the people who came to the clinic. Besides, Lao Liu is not a ignorant person, and he will not expose it to strong people. According to their own identities, the four of them, in the eyes of Liangshan, are just ordinary people who go to Liangshan for help. Judging from their usual behavior, even if they refuse to be treated, their lives will not be hurt. We have not taken any action at this moment. In fact, it is the greatest protection for Wan'er and the four of them!" Cheng Wanli said slowly, looking at the dancing candlelight with deep eyes.

"Although I say that, I'm still not at ease. My younger brother wants to go to Liangshan once. When my elder brother left, he entrusted his family to me. Now that my daughter has been away for a few days, I, as an uncle, have a duty to do it!" Wang Ting got up and said:

"I don't disturb the people on the mountain, I just inquired about the news secretly. If they really saw through Wan'er's identity, you know what happened in Huangzhou back then, brother. I had a relationship with Wang Lun once, and I also knew the front of the village. Lin Chong, the instructor of the imperial army, the BMW beside me was a gift from Lin Chong, he can be trusted, and I can trust him to turn things around in case of trouble! It would be best if we meet without fighting!"
