Chapter Thirty: Another Wave
After Zhu Biao woke up, he felt hungry, so he asked Xiao Taoyao to bring some food, and after a few bites, he was ready to go out.
As Fang was about to step out of the small courtyard, he watched Lu Fang from a distance leading a tall man eight feet tall and a middle-aged man with a gentle temperament to come towards him.
Seeing the face of the visitor, Zhu Biao stepped forward to greet him. He stood in front of the middle-aged man and said, "I had known that Uncle Cheng would be coming today, but Sanlang should have gotten off work earlier to greet you. I was not polite enough."
, Uncle Cheng, don’t blame me.”
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said: "Originally, I was planning to wait for you to come back on the first day of your wedding, but that girl Wan'er wanted to go to Hujiazhuang earlier to meet the third lady, and I also have something important to tell you.
So I came early."
This middle-aged man is none other than Dong Ping, the famous and famous romantic double-gun general in the original text of Water Margin. Cheng Wanli, the prefect of Dongping Prefecture, killed his entire family after repeatedly failing to propose marriage.
However, there is no Dongping Prefecture yet. Two years later, in the first year of Xuanhe, Yunzhou will be upgraded to Dongping Prefecture. Today, Cheng Wanli is only the magistrate of Yunzhou.
Zhu Biao heard this, but he was not in a hurry to worry about the other party's important matters. He called the big man on the side cordially, "Brother Wu."
"Sanlang, along the way of the Sa family, I have seen the prosperity of this post, and heard brother Lu Fang talking about the heroes like Coach Lin, Lu Tiha, etc. who all joined forces to join the post, making the Sa family the capital of Yanggu County.
, I feel so exhausted, why don’t you wait for my brother to come back, and instead of talking about it, let the Sa family also serve as a coach in this post, so that you can eat wine and have fun every day with all the heroes." Wu Song saw it.
Zhu Biao then spoke carelessly.
When Zhu Biao heard this, he just smiled and heard Cheng Wanli say quietly from the side.
"Wu Dutou, I'm afraid that today's Yanggu County can't do without you."
Cheng Wanli took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao took the letter and saw the word "You" signed in the lower corner of the letter. He frowned slightly. He opened the letter and glanced at it, his face slightly changed.
Change, turned to Lu Fang and said.
"Go and ask Mr. Wen to come over."
Lu Fang responded and turned around to leave. After Lu Fang left, Zhu Biao led the two of them back to the small courtyard and chatted for a while. Wen Huanzhang arrived.
Zhu Biao handed the letter to Wen Huanzhang, who opened it and read it. His face darkened and he spoke to Cheng Wanli.
"When did Cheng Zhizhou receive this letter?"
"I received it yesterday morning." Cheng Wanli responded.
After Wen Huanzhang knew the time, he glanced at Zhu Biao without trace. Seeing the latter nodding, he calmed down and said to Cheng Wanli again.
"Cai Jing and Tong Guan are on the same boat, and Lord Zhizhou used to be Tong Guan's master. But now that Cai Jing has sent an order to you, how is Lord Zhizhou going to deal with it?"
Cheng Wanli's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said with a displeased expression: "Mr. Wen, you don't need to test me with such words. If I really have the intention to curry favor with Cai Jing, there is no need to inform this matter in advance."
you."
Upon seeing this, Zhu Biao quickly spoke to comfort Cheng Wanli, and then said to Wen Huanzhang: "Teacher, who in Yunzhou doesn't know Uncle Cheng's official reputation? In terms of origin, a lot of generals in the Western Army today are considered children."
Guan Guan’s disciple, although Uncle Cheng was once Tong Guan’s teacher, how could he be the same as Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others.”
Wen Huanzhang smiled slightly, Wen Xian understood the elegant meaning, and said the test words once was enough, but he could not say any more, and he just handed over his hand to Cheng Wanli to apologize.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Wanli couldn't blame him any more. He just knew in his heart that the other party didn't have any objection to him. What he just said was just to test his attitude, so he simply explained it clearly.
"Sanlang, since Prime Minister Cai has given orders for this matter, my uncle has no choice but to do it. It is now certain that Ximen Qing will become the county captain of Yanggu County. If you need to delay for some time or have other arrangements, please do it." You can tell me and my uncle will help you make arrangements."
As soon as Cheng Wanli finished speaking, he saw Wu Song, who had been sitting aside and listening in confusion, suddenly became furious and gritted his teeth.
"After hearing this, the Sa family understood that it was not Cai Jing who wanted to promote that rogue Ximen Qing to be the county captain of our Yanggu County. If he really made that guy the immediate boss of the Sa family, the Sa family would be responsible for it. What's the point? If we just don't do it, the Sa family will go and kill that picky man to prevent him from ruining the people of Yanggu County."
Zhu Biao frowned when he heard what he said and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, please be patient. You are the head of Yanggu County and the brother of brother Wu Zhi. If you really go and kill Ximen Qing, you tell Brother Wu Zhi how to behave."
Wu Song was stunned by Zhu Biao's words. After a while, he sat down angrily and slapped his palm on the armrest of the seat. There was only a click sound and the armrest broke. Wu Song cursed fiercely, " It’s really the way of the world.”
Wen Huanzhang pondered for a long time. When he saw Zhu Biao looking at him, he said: "Now Magistrate Wu is accompanying Mr. Cai back to his hometown in Fujian. He will not be back until at least March or May. If this does not happen, Yanggu County will be As the county magistrate, everything is fine as usual. However, now that Ximen Qingruo has entered Yanggu County, the county magistrate alone cannot deal with this person. In terms of martial arts, Wudu can beat Ximen Qing a hundred times. It’s not a problem, but when it comes to conspiracy, he is no match for him, so we need to find a helper for Wu Dutou when Magistrate Wu is away.”
"What kind of helper?" Zhu Biao asked after hearing this.
"A helper who knows how to save time and trouble, knows Ximen Qing thoroughly, and is very slippery." Wen Huanzhang said meaningfully to Zhu Biao.
After hearing this, Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, and a figure flashed in his mind. He thought to himself that when he saw that person last year, he knew that he wanted to take refuge, but now he didn't just use it.
I saw Zhu Biao cupping his hands towards Cheng Wanli and saying: "Uncle, it is a foregone conclusion that Ximen Qing will be appointed Yanggu County Lieutenant, but I wonder if my nephew can also ask you for a position."
"Oh, what position do you want?" Cheng Wanli asked.
Zhu Biao replied: "There is a Master Qian in Qinghe County, and he has a good relationship with his nephew. My nephew wants to find a position for him as the chief registrar of the Yanggu County government. Is it possible?"
"Can he deal with Ximen Qing? Although I don't know what Ximen Qing is capable of, but with the reputation of Prime Minister Cai, it is not easy for ordinary people to deal with him." Cheng Wanli asked.
Zhu Biao smiled slightly and said: "Not seeking merit, but seeking no faults. It is unrealistic for Master Qian to defeat Ximen Qing, but it shouldn't be a problem to stabilize the situation before brother Wu Zhi returns to Yanggu County."
"Okay, then it's up to you."
Cheng Wanli agreed, sighed again, and said, "Sanlang, don't blame your uncle. People are in officialdom and have no control over their own actions. My uncle is also powerless in many things."
Zhu Biao heard the words, straightened up and cupped his hands and said: "What did my uncle say? How could my nephew blame you? It is also thanks to you that my nephew received the news in advance and had time to deal with it. If I blame you again, wouldn't it be wrong?"
He has become a ungrateful person."
Seeing this, Wu Song also stood up and paid homage to Cheng Wanli, "Master Zhizhou, in the past Wu only heard from my brother that you are an upright man. When I saw you today, I admire you from the bottom of my heart, but Wu Song also wants to thank you."
Then he saw Wen Huanzhang also stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Master Zhizhou, I have offended you a lot just now. Please forgive me. I am afraid that Xianggong Cai would never have thought that Xianggong Zhizhou and Sanlang are as close as one family."
Seeing that the three people spoke sincerely, Cheng Wanli regained his smile and said: "Later, I ordered my entourage to go back to the state mansion to get the seal of the magistrate, and then he first drafted Master Qian's letter of appointment for him to
Arrive in advance and wait for Sanlang's wedding before I draft Ximen Qing's appointment. In this way, Master Qian will have enough time to prepare."
"This is the best."
Wen Huanzhang agreed and said to Zhu Biao: "Sanlang, I will ask brother Shi Xiu to go to Qinghe County later and inform Master Qian of the matter and ask him to rush to Yanggu County as soon as possible to make preparations."
.”
When Zhu Biao heard this, he nodded and shouted outside the study. He saw Lu Fang push the door open and come in. Zhu Biao told the matter, Lu Fang bowed his hand and went straight to find Shi Xiu.
