Water Margin official

The moon is above the willow branches, but the chill is coming.

When it was time to hold the lantern, Zhang Zhengdao, wearing a brocade hat and mink fur, took Sun San away from the inn where he rested and went to the Lion Tower under the Lion Bridge.

This restaurant is smaller than Zhang Zhengdao's restaurant in Qinghe County, but it has been open for many years and has a good reputation. Neighbors love to patronize it.

But tonight, there were few people in the Lion Building. Because of the fight during the day, one person died upstairs. The official Ximen, who was known as the most powerful person in Yanggu County, was actually beaten to death.

Bianjiegeerli.

It is said that when the body was carried out, it was beyond recognition, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the original appearance could not be seen at all.

Zhang Zhengdao arrived downstairs, looked up at the attic with some light, and sneered. The Di County Lieutenant knew how to choose a place. He couldn't choose from so many restaurants, but he chose to have a banquet in the side street pavilion where Ximen Qing was killed.

What is his intention?

"Could it be that you want to show off to the high-ranking officials?" Sun San guessed before leaving the house.

Zhang Zhengdao didn't take it seriously. No matter how the Di County Lieutenant stirred up troubles, he could sit on the Diaoyutai with only the money in his hand, and he could be beaten to death.

Stepping into the Lion Building, the store clerk hurriedly came forward to greet him. He couldn't afford to offend this man. He only went upstairs for a while during the day, so Ximen Qing was carried out.

"My lord, Lieutenant Di County is already waiting for you upstairs. The younger one will show you the way." The waiter, holding a lantern, followed every step and led Zhang Zhengdao.

Stepping upstairs, using the light of the candle, I looked around and was impressed by this store. The broken bed sill had been replaced with a new one. All the tables, chairs and benches in the room had also been replaced, even the one on the side.

The screen is also new.

Lieutenant Di County was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed to relax. When he heard footsteps, he opened his eyes and saw Zhang Zhengdao. He stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang Xian, please take a seat quickly."

Zhang Zhengdao was not polite to him and sat across from him, while Sun San stood aside and waited on him carefully.

"My dear brother, although this Lion House in Yanggu County is not as beautiful as your Lion House in Qinghe County, it does have fine wine, which you must try." Lieutenant Di County raised the wine bottle in his hand and offered it to Zhang Zhengdao

Pour full of wine.

Zhang Zhengdao raised his glass and said with a smile: "I am honored to have met Lieutenant Di County. I will do it first as a token of respect." After saying this, he drank it all in one gulp.

Lieutenant Di County exclaimed: "He is indeed a true man." After saying that, he filled Zhang Zhengdao's glass again.

Zhang Zhengdao, however, did not drink. He just said, "Thank you very much, County Captain, for turning around today. Please pay more attention to my brother's affairs."

Dixian Lieutenant smiled and said: "Wu Song's case, the personal and material evidence is conclusive. When the reply comes from the state capital, he will be escorted to Yunzhou Prefecture, and he will be sentenced to assassination and exile."

Zhang Zhengdao raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "The county captain has taken the trouble to do this, so it is appropriate. I would like to toast the county captain."

Lieutenant Di County had a drink with him, and then turned his attention to Sun San.

Zhang Zhengdao waved his hand to Sun Sanxia to step back. It seemed that the Di County Lieutenant had something to say that could not be heard by others.

When Sun San went downstairs, only Zhang Zhengdao and Di County Lieutenant were left in the side street pavilion.

"My dear brother, you have a fortune, why not take it?" Di County Lieutenant pretended to be mysterious.

"Please also ask the county captain for support." Zhang Zhengdao pretended to be confused.

Lieutenant Di Xian lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Ximen Qing's family had a herbal medicine shop, and the business was booming. Now that the person in charge was accidentally killed by your brother, these herbal medicine shops are probably going to decline day by day.

If it disappears, the county will lose a lot of taxes, and the county magistrate will be worried about this and frown."

Zhang Zhengdao looked at the sanctimonious look on the face of Lieutenant Di County. Although he was disdainful in his heart, he said: "What do you mean by the county magistrate?"

Lieutenant Di County said bluntly: "My dear brother, why don't you take over Ximen Qing's family business, so that you can continue to pay some taxes and money for the county, so that the officials of the county government, big and small, will not run out of money and food distribution."

Zhang Zhengdao instantly understood that he wanted to seize other people's property, but he was not seizing it himself. Looking at it like this, he was afraid that the county magistrate and county captain wanted to seize it, but were afraid of what others would say, so they let themselves come forward and act as a knife to deceive others.<

/p>

"Since the county magistrate has an order, how can I refuse? It's just that Ximen Qing has a daughter at home, so it's not good to go too far. I also heard that Ximen Qing has a foreign residence, which may cause some trouble." Zhang Zhengdao did not agree.

Agree directly.

Lieutenant Di Xian smiled and said: "A ten-year-old girl is nothing to worry about. Find a prescription and send her on the road together. Her father can be a companion on the road to Huangquan."

Zhang Zhengdao felt angry. This Di County Lieutenant was so vicious that he wanted to kill everyone in his family, and even allowed himself to do such a dirty deed.

"As for Zhuo Diu'er, hey, dear brother, sit down for a moment." Lieutenant Di County stood up, walked to the stairs, and clapped his hands toward the people downstairs.

Not long after, I saw a slender woman wearing a double-breasted coat and a thick jacket, wearing heavy makeup, walking slowly upstairs.

When she came closer, the woman bowed to Zhang Zhengdao and said, "Zhuo Diu'er of the slave family has met officials."

Zhang Zhengdao raised his eyes and saw that she had a long and exquisite logo. She was a seven-point beauty. It was okay not to believe in Ximen Qing’s character, but he had to believe in Ximen Qing’s aesthetics.

County Lieutenant Di smiled and said, "This is Ximen Qing's concubine Zhuo Diu'er. He took off his coat and had some wine with Zhang Xiandi."

Zhuo Diu'er casually took off his jacket and the pair of jackets. He only wore a belly wrap, revealing his snow-white crystal skin. He smiled shyly at Zhang Zhengdao, and then picked up the clothes on the table.

Put the fine wine to Zhang Zhengdao’s mouth.

A beautiful woman with good wine, but this Lieutenant of Di County is a bit of an eyesore.

After opening his mouth to drink the wine, Zhang Zhengdao held Zhuo Diu'er in his arms with his backhand, smiled at County Lieutenant Di and said, "The County Lieutenant is very resourceful."

Lieutenant Di County smiled "haha" and walked downstairs without returning to the table.

In the side street pavilion, only Zhang Zhengdao and the shy beauty Zhuo Diuer were left.

"Master, let's have another glass of wine." Zhuo Di'er smiled beautifully, which made Zhang Zhengdao's mind wander. He had not known the taste of meat for several months and it was really unbearable.

When I think about it again, this is Ximen Qing's foreign residence, I feel even more intoxicated.

"Am I considered to have raped someone else's wife and daughter, a heinous crime?" Zhang Zhengdao murmured to himself.

Zhuo Diuer smiled and said: "My lord, it's the slave family Hongxing who cheated on me, I can't help but get exposed."

Zhang Zhengdao laughed "haha": "I didn't expect this Ximen Qing to be able to train."

Zhuo Diuer hugged him with her backhand and said with a charming smile: "Guardian, what are you always asking him to do?"

Zhang Zhengdao replied: "How do you understand the joy of being a thief!"

"What's the joy of Cao Cao's thief? Today the slave family belongs to the officials." Zhuo Di'er sat sideways in his arms and whispered.

However, Zhang Zhengdao remembered something and asked seriously: "I heard that Ximen Qing suffers from Hualiu disease?"

Zhuo Diuer was stunned, but then he realized what he was doing, glanced at Zhang Zhengdao, stood up, took off his clothes and belt, and said: "The officer will check it himself, and you will know."
