Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

"Second brother is here? Come and meet the official Ximen Qing who you often chat with me on weekdays." Huang Wenye said to Huang Wenbing with a smile.

After hearing this, Huang Wenbing saluted Ximen Qing: "My servant, Huang Wenbing, has heard the name of Ximen officials in Yanggu County for a long time, but only regrets that the journey is far away, and he cannot see his face in person. It is a great honor to be able to meet Brother Zun today. !"

Ximen Qing returned the salute and said: "Little brother is a white man, but he can't achieve success and fame. How can he be praised by Huang Tongpan! Huang Tongpan is a pillar of the country, and it is a pleasure to meet you this time!"

Huang Wenbing said with a smile: "Brother Zun is too self-effacing! Don't you know that the book seller you wrote was sold out in Jiangzhou? Now in the Wuwei Army's hook bar, the speaker who is a performer is talking about the Three Kingdoms you wrote. !"

Ximen Qing said modestly: "My little brother is ashamed, then "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is just a random romance story written by my little brother in his spare time, it is really not elegant."

"There are hills and valleys in the middle of the heart, so why not treat the sages in the cup. If you are not a great talent, how can you write this wonderful book? Besides, the two poems written by Brother Zun "Bu Suanzi? Yongmei" and the song "Sapphire Case? "Yuan Xi", even Layman Yi An is ashamed of himself, can't he still be in the hall of elegance?" Huang Wenbing cupped his hands and said to Ximen Qing.

"Oh! This place is thousands of miles away from Qingzhou, how does Huang Tongpan know about the poems written by my younger brother?" Ximen Qing was also a little surprised, he didn't want his talent for poetry to spread to the Jiangzhou area so quickly.

Huang Wenbing said: "Brother Zun was writing new words in Qingzhou, Professor Qin from Mizhou was there, right? Brother Zun doesn't know, Professor Qin is from Jiangning Prefecture, and Jiangning Prefecture is not far from Wuwei Army and Jiangzhou. Professor Qin came to Jiangning from Mizhou My relatives and friends sent letters back, and wrote three poems by Brother Zun, praising Brother Zun’s talent. Now, Brother Zun’s poems have been spread among scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, who doesn’t know you, Brother Zun?”

After Ximen Qing heard this, he had to admit in his heart that it would be quite effective to be a copycat once in a while if he wanted to hang out in the circle of scholars.Before he was interested in Jiangnan, Qin Hui would first help him spread his reputation.Now, it can be regarded as having the capital to eat and drink again in this Jiangnan area!

Qin Hui, Qin Hui, how can you be so knowledgeable?It seems that you and I, Ximen Qing, are really destined!

Chapter 237 Calling Huang Wenbing

Ximen Qing saw that Huang Wenbing was also conquered by the poems and novels he plagiarized, and he really admired him, so he couldn't help but secretly happy.With such a good start, we will be able to cooperate better with Huang Wenbing in the future!

After the three met, they sat in the hall and chatted for a while.Ximenqing deliberately brought the topic to Jiangzhou and the Wuwei Army, and asked Huang Wenye and Huang Wenbing what they were working on recently.

Before Huang Wenbing could answer, Huang Wenye said angrily from the side: "Officer Ximen, our Huang family can be considered a big family here in the Wuwei Army, and we have quite a lot of money. My brother and I can live comfortably in this life." But my brother doesn't know how to do good deeds, so he wants to fight with others and get himself into trouble. You don't know, he has killed another garrison in Jiangzhou City these days..."

"Brother, why are you talking like this? Haven't you heard the phrase "worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later"? Today the world is not peaceful, and thieves are rampant in every state. We should serve our country How can you hide in this inaction army and become a rich man? Then Song Jiang in Jiangzhou City is really a rebel, so how can you say that I am harming him?" Huang Wenbing obviously disagreed with his brother's opinion. own evaluation.

"Song Jiang? In Yuncheng County, Jizhou, a neighboring county of Yanggu County, there is also a man named Song Jiang. I heard that that fellow was originally a prison officer in Yuncheng County. He killed someone and was caught and sentenced by the government. Unexpectedly, there is also a supporting army named Song Jiang here, could they be the same person?" Ximen Qing asked after hearing this.

"Brother Zun's guess is not bad. Song Jiang, the bandit army in Jiangzhou City, was dispatched from Jeju. Brother Zun doesn't know, but Song Jiang has evil intentions, and even wrote anti-poetry on Xunyang Tower..." Huang Wenbing told how he found Song Jiang's anti-poetry. Poetry, and how to help Cai Jiuzhi see through Song Jiang's trick of pretending to be crazy to avoid disaster, and how to send Song Jiang to death row, let Ximen Qing talk about it one by one.

"Brother Huang, what did you just say? The magistrate sent a man named Dai Zong to Bianliang, Tokyo to deliver a letter?" Ximen Qing suddenly interrupted Huang Wenbing.

Seeing Ximen Qing's surprised face, Huang Wenbing asked Ximen Qing what was wrong.

Ximenqing told Huang Wenbing that because Yanggu County is close to Liangshanbo, the landowners of the manors in the county often inquired about the Liangshan bandit in order to prevent the Liangshan bandit from invading and looting.

Half a year ago, everyone inquired about some fragments of the Liangshan bandits, saying that Wu Yong, the military advisor of the Liangshanpo bandits, had a friend called "Shenxing Taibao" Dai Zong, who often went to Liangshan to meet Wu Yong.

After hearing Ximen Qing's words, Huang Wenbing was shocked and said: "Brother Zun, the 'Shenxing Taibao' Dai Zong you mentioned is exactly the current Jiangzhou two courts! If he really has contacts with the bandits in Liangshan, Shandong , I’m afraid that Song Jiang has also secretly colluded! This matter is no small matter, I have to go to Jiangzhou to remind the magistrate to be careful."

Huang Wenbing was suspicious, how could he sit still, he bid farewell to his elder brother and Ximen Qing, went out and went straight to Jiangzhou.

Ximenqing paid a special visit to Huang Wenye to lure Huang Wenbing over, give him advice, and ensure that he can arrive in Jiangzhou in time to see through Wu Yong's strategy.Now that Huang Wenbing has gone to Jiangzhou, Ximen Qing is relieved, and can have a good meal with the "yellow-faced Buddha" beside him tonight.Wait until tomorrow, and then go to visit Mr. Zhijun of the Wuwei Army!

……

Let's say that Cai Jiuzhi's prefect urges and synthesizes the trapped car. After one or two days, when he is about to leave, he sees a report from his door: "Wuweijun Huang Tongpan is here to investigate."

Huang Wenbing helped him uncover the traitor Song Jiang who was hiding in the prison camp. The prefect Cai Jiu was also very fond of him. Hearing that Huang Tong was coming, he hurriedly asked his disciples to meet him in the back hall.

Huang Wenbing came to Defu and brought some gifts and fashionable wine and fruit.

Magistrate Cai Jiu thanked him: "How can it be appropriate to thank you for your generosity?"

Huang Wenbing replied: "The small things in the village are nothing to worry about."

Cai Jiuzhi thought that Huang Wenbing must be concerned about his reinstatement, so he proudly said to Huang Wenbing: "Congratulations to Huang Tong, sooner or later there will be a celebration of honor!"

Huang Wenbing asked, "How does Mr. Xiang know this?"

Cai Jiu Zhifu said: "The person who wrote the letter yesterday has returned. Song Jiang, the demon, taught the capital. The judge only played it in the morning and evening, and he was promoted to a high position. The family respect wrote back to prepare for this matter."

After Huang Wenbing heard from Ximen Qing that Dai Zong had something to do with the Liangshan bandits, he became suspicious of this matter, and said to Cai Jiuzhi, "Since it is the place, I am very grateful for the recommendation. That person who wrote the letter is really a godsend!" Xiao Ke couldn’t believe that he could go back and forth to Bianliang, Tokyo in more than ten days.”

Cai Jiuzhifu said: "If you don't believe the general judgment, you can teach to read the family letter. It seems that it is not wrong to be an official."

Huang Wenbing said: "Xiaosheng is only afraid of family letters, so he dare not read them; if you want to ask, please borrow them."

The magistrate Cai Jiu said, "the judgment is a confidant. Let's see what's the problem." Then he ordered the congregation to take the family letter and hand it to Huang Wenbing for reading.

Huang Wenbing already suspected that Dai Zong was playing tricks in the dark, so he took the book in his hand, read it carefully from beginning to end, and then rolled it up to look at the cover, only to see that the book was fresh.Huang Wenbing carefully checked it over and over again, and he saw the flaw, and shook his head to the magistrate, saying: "This book is not true."

Cai Jiuzhifu said: "The judgment is wrong; this is Jiazun's own handwriting, the real font, how can it not be real?"

Huang Wenbing said: "Master Rong Fu: When the family letters come, did you have this book?"

Cai Jiu Zhifu said: "Usually, I don't have this book in my family letters. I just wrote it casually. This time I must have the book case at hand, so I printed this book on the cover."

Huang Wenbing said: "My lord, don't blame Xiaosheng for talking too much. This book has been hidden from my lord! Today, Su, Huang, Mi, and Cai are the most popular fonts. Who wouldn't learn them?

It's just that this book was used by Ling Zunenxiang when he was a Hanlin scholar. Many people have seen the text of the post.Now that he is promoted to prime minister, how can he use Hanlin books?

What's more, it is also a book sent by the father to the son, so it is necessary to improperly use books with taboo words.Your father, grand master, Enxiang is a man of great foresight who understands the poor world, can he make a mistake and use it wrongly?

Xianggong doesn't believe Xiaosheng's words, so he can ask the person who wrote the letter carefully, who has seen the man come.If it is not true, it is a fake book.Don't blame Xiaosheng for talking too much, because he is loved so much by mistake, so he dares to speak out. "

After hearing this, Cai Jiuzhifu also realized that the family letter sent back by Dai Zong was wrong.He said to Huang Wenbing: "The words of the general judge do have some truth! Now it is not difficult to distinguish this matter. Dai Zong never went to my father's house in Tokyo to do business before. If he is lying, it will be obvious when asked. "

The prefect of Cai Jiu kept Huang Wenbing sitting behind the screen, then he went up to the hall and called Dai Zong, saying only that he had a commission.

Where did Dai Zong think that Wu Yong, the "smart star", would be seen through?Unsuspectingly, he came to the hall.

Chapter 238 Dai Zong's Escape Plan

Dai Zong is just an errand runner, how can he compete with Cai Jiuzhifu and Huang Wenbing?When he came to the hall, under the cross-examination of Cai Jiuzhifu, his flaws were quickly revealed.

Cai Jiuzhifu ordered his left and right to torture Dai Zong severely, but Dai Zong couldn't stand the torture, so he had to confess.

Cai Jiuzhi's prefect ordered Dai Zong to be taken with a big shackle and put in prison.But he retreated to the hall to thank Huang Wenbing and said: "If it weren't for the high opinion of the general judge, the next official would almost have missed a major event!"

Huang Wenbing thought to himself that Ximen Qing officials were right, that Dai Zong and the Liangshanbo robbers were in the same gang.This time, if the Ximen Qing officials hadn't reminded him in time, the Liangshan bandits would have almost fooled the magistrate and rescued the traitor Song Jiang.It's not too late, otherwise things will change. It's better to persuade the magistrate to kill these two rebels as soon as possible to avoid future troubles.

Huang Wenbing had made up his mind, and said to Cai Jiuzhifu: "I can see that this person is also connected with Liangshanbo, and they are in the same boat. They conspired to become a party. If they are not eliminated early, they will cause future troubles."

Cai Jiuzhifu heard this, and said to Huang Wenbing: "The verdict is reasonable! Recently, these two questions have been turned into a petition, and a document has been drawn up. First, he will be sent to Shicao to behead him, and then he will write a form to appeal to the court."

Huang Wenbing said: "Mr. Xiang is very wise. Like this, firstly, the court is happy to see that Mr. Xiang has done this great work; and secondly, the grass bandits in Liangshanpo will not come to rob the prison."

Cai Jiuzhifu said: "The judgment is far-reaching. The next official should act as a document and personally recommend the judgment." On that day, Huang Wenbing was taken care of, sent out of the house, and returned to the Wuwei Army.

The eyeliners of Lu Xiaoyi and Shi Yong were one step faster than Huang Wenbing, and reported the news of Dai Zong's arrest and imprisonment, and soon reported to Ximen Qing, who was in the army of Wuwei, to find out.

Ximenqing knew that the Liangshan hero was about to come to Jiangzhou to rob the court, and he had to do a good job of borrowing troops in the next few days.First spend some money to bribe Zhijun who has made friends with Wuweijun!
