Water Margin official

After fooling around for a long time, Zhang Zhengdao couldn't help but sigh that he had really fallen, especially the little cook Sun Xue'e, who was shy but a little wild, and allowed herself to be manipulated, which made him very happy.

However, there were important things to do tomorrow, so I hugged two beauties that night and went to bed early.

Early the next morning, Zhang Zhengdao asked Zhuo Diuer to increase Sun Xue'e's monthly payment from two guan to ten guan.

The little cook was so happy that she thanked her endlessly.

Zhuo Diuer certainly got what he wanted. Anyway, this huge family property is already under her control, and Sun San will definitely deliver the monthly expenses on time.

Now there are only eight people in this house eating, and the expenses are not too big. In addition to living expenses such as tea, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc., there is still some surplus.

Zhang Zhengdao was afraid that his subordinates were secretly cheating and mistreating his woman, so he made it clear to Sun San that he should send five hundred taels of silver to the government every month. There should be no shortage and no delay.

Sun San didn't dare. After taking care of the three herbal medicine shops in the past two days, he could earn two thousand taels a month, which was converted into silver taels, which was one thousand five hundred six hundred taels. After excluding the monthly wages of the clerks,

Money is enough.

After Zhang Zhengdao arranged things in the house, and with the two women reluctant to say goodbye, he took Lu Xiaoyi outside the prison in Yanggu County to wait for Wu Song so that they could go to Yunzhou Prefecture to govern Xucheng.

With the orders of the county magistrate and county captain, and Zhang Zhengdao's supervision, the jailer in Yanggu County did not dare to torture Wu Song, but only served him with wine and meat every day.

After only waiting for a moment, Zhu Mazi, Earl Ying, and Na Xie Xida also arrived together.

Last night, they received a summons from the county and were asked to go to Yunzhou City to obtain personal identification.

Seeing Zhang Zhengdao, the three men came forward respectfully and saluted: "I have seen a high official."

The three of them were afraid of Zhang Zhengdao. In just a few days, this man had already become the person in charge of Ximen Qing's house. He even blatantly moved into Ximen Qing's house and devoured the household to the extreme.

.

Moreover, everything was well-spoken, and they acted in an extremely low-key manner. The three people who knew the details did not dare to talk nonsense. If anyone asked, they would say that Ximen Qing was drunk and causing trouble, and Wu Song

I accidentally missed his hand and injured his life. Let this matter be confirmed.

Zhang Zhengdao saw that the three of them were very obedient, so he no longer asked Lu Xiaoyi to watch over them.

"When we get to Yunzhou City, we have to trouble three people to provide personal identification for Brother Wu. Don't let this matter happen again." Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile on his face.

Earl Ying was the first to reply: "Don't worry, high officials, we know how to reply."

When Zhu Mazi saw that Earl Ying had taken the lead from him, he hurriedly followed up and said, "Official, we won't make any mistakes."

After everyone said a few words, they saw Lieutenant Di County leading two local soldiers from the county and escorting Wu Song out.

Zhang Zhengdao stepped forward to greet him and looked at Wu Song. He saw that he was in excellent spirits. Although he was wearing a short yoke weighing twenty kilograms, he walked very steadily and his steps were not frivolous at all.

"Brother, you came early enough." Lieutenant Di County received another thousand taels of silver from Zhang Zhengdao yesterday, and he was very happy.

Zhang Zhengdao bowed his hands and said: "Your Excellency, County Lieutenant."

Immediately, he came to Wu Song again and asked, "Brother, have you ever suffered humiliation?"

Wu Song laughed and said: "Every day I have good wine and good food, but I only eat to make me fat."

Seeing that Wu Song was indeed fine, Zhang Zhengdao put aside his worries and said again: "It is my fault that I have made my brother suffer this calamity."

Wu Songdao: "This matter is my own business, and it is not a capital crime. A real man should not covet his mother-in-law and behave like a daughter's family."

The Di County Lieutenant also said: "Don't worry, dear brother, I will go to Yunzhou City and nothing will happen."

After saying that, Lieutenant Di County told the soldiers: "Take off the shackles first, and then put them on the prisoners when they get outside Yunzhou City."

The two soldiers took off the shackles from Wu Song's neck and carried them in their hands.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhengdao thanked Di County Lieutenant again.

"My dear brother, this Yanggu County government office is busy with official duties and cannot escape, so we can't go to Yunzhou City together. These two brothers are my confidants and will definitely not miss anything." Di County Lieutenant General Zhang

Zhengdao called him aside and spoke to him.

Zhang Zhengdao doesn't care much. Whether the Di County captain goes or not doesn't make any difference.

"Thanks to the county captain for taking care of me these days, we will wait for my younger brother to arrange everything before we have a drink together." Zhang Zhengdao thanked him with his hands. Although this county captain is vicious and vicious, he is also a person who takes money to do things.

Make friends and use.

Lieutenant Di County smiled and said: "That's it, it's settled."

Zhang Zhengdao replied: "It's getting late, let's set off now and say goodbye."

Lieutenant Di County called the two soldiers aside, whispered a few words in a low voice, and ordered them to escort the prisoner and witnesses to Yunzhou City.

In order to make Wu Song more comfortable and to travel faster, Zhang Zhengdao prepared a large cart. Two soldiers, Wu Song, and three witnesses, a total of six people, all got into the cart. Lu Xiaoyi

Sit in the front and drive.

Zhang Zhengdao turned over and mounted his white horse, cupped his hands and said, "Farewell."

The Di County Lieutenant watched everyone leave and then returned to the county government office.

But Zhang Zhengdao and his party came out from the east gate of Yanggu County, asked for directions, and headed towards Yunzhou City.

At this time, it was already mid-January of the second year of Zhenghe. The north wind was biting and it was extremely cold. Zhang Zhengdao rode the horse for a while, then he couldn't bear it anymore. He turned over and dismounted, tied the reins of the white horse to the car, and let it follow the car.

Let’s go and get into the car.

In the carriage, everyone was crowded together, and Zhang Zhengdao breathed: "It's still warm in the carriage."

Wu Song opened his eyes and said: "If you eat some wine, this little chill will be nothing."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "When there is a restaurant ahead, I will buy some to eat."

The group took the southeast direction, bypassing eight hundred miles of water, spending the night at dawn, eating in restaurants, walking and resting, and arrived at Yunzhou City in only four days.

This Yunzhou was governed in Xucheng. In the third year of Emperor Taizong's arrival in the Song Dynasty, he set up the East and West Road of Beijing to appease the envoys in Xucheng and established it as the governor of Luzhou.

In the third year of Xianping reign of Emperor Zhenzong, the Yellow River broke through Yunzhou and the city was submerged. The imperial court decided to move Yunzhou and Xucheng County to the plain five miles in front of Wuling Mountain and build a new city.

After entering the city, they went straight to the Yunzhou Administrative Court. The two soldiers handed over the documents and the prisoner. After witnessing the crime, they said goodbye to Zhang Zhengdao and returned to Yanggu County alone.

Zhang Zhengdao visited Yunzhou City for the first time and had no acquaintances to talk to, so he and Lu Xiaoyi first found a hotel not far away to rest.

Wu Song's case is relatively simple. The magistrate of Yanggu County has clearly stated the reasons, and the witnesses, physical evidence, and criminals are all ready. It will only wait until tomorrow, after the manager of the Court of Justice joins the army and interrogates again, he can be pronounced in court.

.

Zhang Zhengdao sat in the room and listened to Lu Xiaoyi report the information he had gathered.

"High official, the manager of Yunzhou City is named Zhang. He is an upright and selfless man, but he is not easy to use money." Lu Xiaoyi reported back.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled when he heard this and said: "This is very good, it saves a lot of trouble."

Lu Xiaoyi asked in confusion: "If this manager doesn't take care of it, I'm afraid Brother Wu will suffer some pain."

Zhang Zhengdao shook his head and said: "If this person is a corrupt official, it will be troublesome. If he is an upright person, it will be fine. We can just wait for the judgment of the Court of Justice tomorrow."

The two stayed in this inn and waited patiently for the verdict tomorrow.
