Water Margin official

As the sky turned dark, Lu Xiaoyi said: "Officials, why don't you go to the Happy Forest to rest for the night."

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "That's fine."

The three of them returned to Happy Forest under the moonlight.

The market here is not far from Mengzhou City. There are hundreds of large inns, thirty or twenty gambling houses, and exchange shops. Merchants from Shandong and Hebei all come here to rest.

Entering Happy Forest, you will see that there are many wine shops on both sides of the official road, and business is booming. It is a prosperous town.

Zhang Zhengdao got off his horse, led the horse, and walked inside, looking for the wine and butcher shop at the T-junction.

After walking less than three or four miles, I really saw a hotel under a few locust trees. There was a viewing pole in front of the eaves, with a wine grape hanging on it, and four big characters written on it, which were: "Heyang Fengyue"!
Zhang Zhengdao knew in his heart that this place was the hotel opened by "Jinyan Biao" from the small management camp of Anping Village.

"The world is vast when you are drunk, and the sun and moon are long in the pot!" Tang Bin read out the gold characters on the two golden flags in front of the door.

"Let's go inside and have some drinks." Zhang Zhengdao stepped outside the store, put the horse's reins on the hitching post on the side, and entered the store.

Glancing around, I saw only a wall of meat tables, anvils, a few cooks, and a wall of wood-fired stoves for steaming and making steamed buns.

When we went inside, there were three large wine vats placed in a row, half buried in the ground. The vats exuded a strong aroma of wine.

There is a cabinet in the middle, but the woman sitting inside is not a woman, but a young waiter.

Zhang Zhengdao and the others found a table and sat down, shouting: "Brother, if you have any good wine or meat, please bring it over."

The waiter in the shop greeted the general, placed the bowls and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Sir, what do you want to eat?"

Lu Xiaoyi said: "Good wine and good meat, just serve it first, don't belabor it."

The shop assistant bent down and said with a smile: "I'm going to sift the wine now."

Zhang Zhengdao said, "Brother, let me ask you, is the owner of this shop the Xiao Guanying of Anping Village?"

Seeing the three people looking at each other, the waiter looked around again and replied in a low voice: "That's natural. The business in Happy Forest is all related to Xiaoguanying. Guests, please just drink and don't cause trouble."

”

Seeing how kind-hearted this guy was, Zhang Zhengdao continued to ask, "Do you know that there is a man named Wu Song next to Xiao Guanying?"

The store clerk shook his head and said: "There are eighty or ninety abandoned prisoners around Xiaoguanying. The guest officer asked which one he was talking about, but the villain didn't know."

Zhang Zhengdao saw this and waved to him to get wine and meat.

"Master, will Brother Wu be pardoned and sent back to his hometown?" Lu Xiaoyi asked.

Zhang Zhengdao shook his head and said: "No, if Brother Wu returns to Qinghe County, I will definitely know about it."

Liangshan's surrounding prefectures and counties all have Liangshan's sentinel eyes and ears. If Wu Song returns to his hometown, Zhang Zhengdao will get the news as soon as possible.

Lu Xiaoyi added: "Then Brother Wu must still be in Anping Village."

Wu Song was convicted of the crime of being stabbed and sentenced to death, and he could only be pardoned and returned to his hometown after the emperor issued a general amnesty.

At this time, the waiter brought the wine and meat, and the three of them stopped talking and just focused on eating.

After a while, after having enough wine and food, Zhang Zhengdao asked, "Brother, is there any inn nearby where I can rest?"

The shop assistant pointed to the west direction outside the door and said: "Go half a mile over there and you will find Xiwazi. Guests can stay there."

The three of them left the hotel, led the horses, and walked for more than half a mile. They found an inn where businessmen could stay overnight.

I invested it in the shop, opened two upper rooms, and rested all night in Happy Forest.

At dawn the next day, Zhang Zhengdao was not in a hurry to leave Happy Forest and went to Mengzhou City's Anping Walled Prison Camp to look for Wu Song.

But in this happy forest, waiting for the "golden-eyed Biao" to show mercy.

This guy dominates this place and will come here during the day. If you want to see Wu Song, you still have to go through this guy.

Zhang Zhengdao took Tang Bin and Lu Xiaoyi to a roadside tea shop, where they sat and drank tea, waiting for Shi En to appear.

After eating a cup of fragrant tea, Zhang Zhengdao asked: "I heard that General Tang also had a sworn brother in Pudong?"

Tang Bin replied: "Brother, are you asking about Brother Hao Siwen?"

"Yes, I have heard more about this 'Jing Muyan', who is proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts and is a good man!" Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile.

"Brother, do you want to recruit him to the mountain?" Tang Bin heard Xian Zhiyin.

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said in a low voice: "Rather than living in Pudong with no one appreciating your talents, it is better to go to the mountain village to gather righteousness."

"Right now, Liangshan is employing people. If Brother Hao Siwen is willing to take refuge, he won't let him cast his shadow." Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile.

Tang Bin thought for a moment and said: "I left in a hurry and didn't say goodbye to Brother Hao. After escorting the village leader back to the mountain, my younger brother turned back to Pudong and persuaded him to come and join us."

Zhang Zhengdao was speechless and stared into the distance. There were more than a dozen well-dressed men with gold seals tattooed on their faces. Among them was a white-skinned petty official who was entering the Happy Forest with great power. He was obviously

That little manager showed his kindness.

Coincidentally, Wu Song is also among them.

"No need to go to such trouble. I will stay for a while when I go to Bianliang City. General Tang happened to be on his way to Pudong and asked Hao Siwen to join us." Zhang Zhengdao withdrew his gaze and said to Tang Bin.

Shi En and his party waited, baring their teeth and claws, moving from far to near. Seeing the pedestrians on the road, they all evaded, fearing to offend this local tyrant.

When he arrived at a wine shop, Shi En stopped. When the shop owner saw this local bully standing outside his wine shop, he couldn't help complaining, but he still stepped forward diligently, saluted respectfully, and said: "Xiao Guanying, please

What to eat?"

Shi En saw that the shopkeeper was submissive and had a smug look on his face. Just as he was about to sit down, he remembered something, turned sideways and said, "Brother Wu, sit down quickly."

Wu Song was not polite to him, and sat down on the chair under the envy of the dozen or so troops.

Shi En then sat down and scolded the shopkeeper: "If you have any good wine or meat, bring it all. I want to treat Brother Wu to a drink today."

The shop owner cursed in his mind, the hotel at the T-junction in front belongs to you, why don't you go there if you want to invite people to drink?

Although he was cursing secretly in his heart, the shopkeeper still had a smile on his face and went inside to prepare wine and food.

It's okay to let this local bully eat and drink for free. I'm afraid that if something makes him unhappy, he will get punched and kicked a few times, and his life will be lost.

Shi En said with a smile: "Brother Wu, I haven't seen you for a long time, but it's the younger brother who has treated his elder brother lightly. I'm going out to drink today, and I must have a good time."

"But I don't drink enough, so please bear with me, Brother Wu." Shi En said again.

Wu Song smiled lightly and said: "Since I came to Anping Village, I have always eaten and drank well. I have never been treated badly. I don't deserve Xiaoguanying to be so polite."

Shi En smiled and said: "Brother is a real hero. Who dares to be disrespectful? Don't you think so?"

The dozen or so soldiers standing around quickly complimented him: "Brother Wu is very good at fists and kicks. He is a good man."

Wu Song waved his hands and said: "Wu Er is a boxer who specializes in fighting tough guys in the world and people who don't know their morals!"

"Wu Er also hates those ugly people who rely on strength to bully the weak!" Wu Song glanced at Shi En and said meaningfully.

Having known Wu Song for a long time, Shi En knew his temper and quickly said: "Brother, don't worry, I have corrected my evil ways and have never bullied the old, weak, women and children."

"If you don't believe me, I can ask someone to verify it." Shi En said, and shouted to a soldier next to him: "Go and capture some old and weak women and children, and come over and talk to Brother Wu."

The side army immediately replied: "I'll catch you now, little man... and invite someone."
