If the Water Margin

Chapter 16 Sitting

Wu Song does remember this taste, which is from Xiao Er, a wild shop on his way to the capital. Strangely, after a war with the eight people, even my sense of smell became more and more sensitive. Today, when I got the envelope, my head was suddenly empty, and I suddenly remembered the second child of the wild shop.

"This smell is the taste of one of the strong people I met on the way to Beijing." Wu Song said calmly.

The ground snake was puzzled: "I'm laughing. I'm afraid the smell on it can't be distinguished by the hounds. Can you really smell it?"

"I don't understand many things, but I'm sure of the smell on this envelope."

Other officials listened to Wu Song's persistence and had nothing to say. Pan Jinlian was trembling at this time and didn't know where she was going.

"Sister-in-law, don't you see how the letter was put on the table?"

"Uncle, although the slave family cares about eating and drinking, if someone comes over and puts the envelope on the table, there is no reason that the family can't find it."

When Wu Song thought about it, it was indeed the same. Women who can't do martial arts often feel much more sensitive than men who don't know martial arts. They must use some strange means to suddenly put the envelope on the table. And Pan Jinlian found it after entering the door for a while. If someone puts down the envelope and walks out of the door, he will definitely be seen by himself, but this matter is confusing.

At this time, the local snake suddenly said, "Head, let's take a look at what is written in this letter before exploring other things."

Wu Song thought about it, and it was true. Others bought beads and returned it. They only paid attention to the envelope, but they didn't read the content of the letter for a long time, which was indeed putting the cart before the horse. Wu Song then unfolded the letter on the ground with a waist knife and did not touch the letter with his hand. I saw the words on the letter:

"Wudutou. If Dutou is not dead at this time, then Dutou is indeed thoughtful. Please be worshipped by the villain. There are many festivals among us, and we all kill my eight brothers with tigers, and this hatred is shomable. I also knew that there was no chance of winning the head-on confrontation in Dutou, so I abduction of Dutou's brother and chose a day to fight in Dutou.

The villain will then send silver liang, which is enough to have a three-month surplus of the osmanthus building. In March, he will use the life of his brother as the salary of the capital. During this period, he will be hired as the shopkeeper of the osmanthus osmanthus building, and the villain is the owner of the capital. Dutou must stay in the Osmanthus Tower for two hours a day, otherwise Wu Da will die. The villain will inform you of the time and place of the battle in Yudu.

The letter was not submitted, but the words have proved that Wu Song's smell inference is correct. It seems that this is the ultimatum for the kidnapping of Wu Da. In this way, Wu Da has moved them to a relatively safe place, and it is estimated that there will be no result if he searches again. Then why didn't the other party deliver the letter directly to himself, but to his sister-in-law? Yes, if you give it directly to yourself, you can't retreat completely. Although your sister-in-law is careful, she doesn't know how to do martial arts and lacks a lot of experience. The other party knows that his sister-in-law came to Guihua Tower, and I will also come to Guihua Tower, so she used her sister-in-law to tell me. It's just that this method of wiping poison is too insidious. Fortunately, the local snake is alert, otherwise the person who was poisoned at this time may be himself.

While Wu Song was thinking, several people came into the door, who were carrying a box. Entering the door and saying, "Is the shopkeeper of Guihua Building available?"

When the shopkeeper of Osmanthus Building saw the change just now, he had long hidden behind the counter and dared not come out. When he heard someone calling his name, he came out tremblingly: "Xiao Ke, what can I do for you?"

"Oh, I didn't know which guest it was just now. I put this box here at our darts bureau, and then put a letter on the box to ask us to send the box to the Osmanthus Building immediately, and there was a large commission. I don't know who is so lazy. The darts bureau is one street away from Guihualou. It's really puzzling for us to send it to Taiping Qiankun in Yanggu County. All right, the goods have been delivered. Let's leave. Come on, the man hugged his fist, greeted his men, and wanted to go out.

Wu Song hurriedly took a step: "The strong man stayed."

"Oh? What's the driver?"

"I'm the head of this county, Wu Song."

"It turned out to be Lord Dutou. What's the matter?" As soon as the man heard that it was Wu Song who beat the tiger, he immediately laughed and punched.

"Can you tell me how to find this box?" Wu Song asked.

"Oh, I have to ask, what's wrong with that? This is very simple. Our brothers ate at the bodyguard bureau. After eating, we thought about it and went out to stretch out to bask in the sun. As a result, we found that there was a box at the door of the bodyguard bureau with a letter on it, asking us to send the box to the Osmanthus Building immediately. We are in the darts business, and we are the most sincere. Since the guests entrusted each other, they will be delivered immediately.

"How long did it take you to deliver the box?"

"The road was so close that we didn't have a carriage, but several brothers brought it. The box is a little heavy, and we can't lift it quickly. From finding the box to sending it, it's half a meal. The dartsman answered while thinking.

"Is the letter about the dart still there?"

"Here." After saying that, the man put his hand into his arms and put the letter in his hands.

Wu Song took the letter and then said, "Please, there's nothing to do. You can go."

The darts master clenched his fist again and turned around.

Wu Song took the letter and dared not open it directly. Instead, he asked the shopkeeper of Guihualou for a thick cloth and opened the letter with chopsticks. There is only one sentence in the letter:

"You can send the box to the Guihua Building and hand it over to the shopkeeper. There is dart silver in the bag next to it.

Wu Song put the two letters together. Although Wu Er was brave, he was not good at poetry and could not see why, so he had to turn around and ask the ground snake, "Senior, is there anything wrong with these two letters?"

The local snake shook its head: "The villain can only see that these two letters were written by the same person. It didn't take long to read the ink color, but this morning, nothing else could be seen."

Wu Song understood that he was completely calculated. On the way to Beijing, the other party robbed the silver, hit it, and damaged several people's lives, so he deliberately wanted to revenge on himself. Now it seems that you really can't avoid it. You can only say what the other party says, do what you do, step by step, but this is too underestimate my Wu Song. Let's compare and see who will kill the deer.

Wu Song opened the box, and there was indeed silver in it. I explained to the shopkeeper of Guihualou that he wanted to open the store in March. Guihualou had died, and he was still an official. The shopkeeper was afraid that he could not speak clearly. At this moment, he wanted to open the store, which really solved the urgent need.

"According to the capital, give it to the first three months. My owner is in the capital all year round, and this store is all handled by villains. Let alone March, even if it takes three years, the villain can do it. What's more, these many silver liangs don't suffer losses.

Wu Song asked the local snake to stay to take care of the afterth, clean up the scene and dispose of the body. He sent Pan Jinlian to the sedan chair and sent her home. After settling down Pan Jinlian, Wu Song returned to the county government office and asked for leave from the county magistrate, saying that his brother had been kidnapped and his younger brother could not be ignored, so he had to ask for leave for three months to catch the murderer.

The county magistrate thought for a little and agreed: "Well, Wu Song, this matter is also caused by you helping me go to Beijing. In addition, your brother was also kidnapped on the Yanggu ground, so you don't have to ask for leave this time. This matter is a business. There are many people in the county government office for you to transfer. You have nothing else to do in the past three months. Go and find your brother. I will return your favor.

Wu Song fell down to worship: "Thank you, Lord."

The Yanggu County magistrate personally said some polite words. After finishing these things, Wu Song returned to the Guihua Building. Since the murderer said that I should stay here for two hours a day, but he didn't say which two hours, it means that he may come at any time. I don't believe that he doesn't miss it. Wu Song made up his mind and decided to eat and live in the Guihua Building for some time in the future. He vowed to find his brother and pulled out the black hand behind him.

After coming to Guihua Tower, he found that the local snake had settled everything down. Wu Song explained his thoughts to him and told the local snake that when he was away, he would let him act as the head of the head. The local snake was infinitely happy, and Wu Song didn't care if he had any need to die.

With this toss, it's almost night. Although the murder has just happened during the day, since the officials have something to do, and they have heard that the tiger heroes have come here to be shopkeepers. Guihualou is indeed the best place to eat and drink in Yanggu County. Many people have no other choice but to eat here. So this person is indeed a lot of people. Even though there are two and guys, there are many people who want to see the hero of fighting tigers, so there are always guests who want Wu Song to come to drink together. Wu Song has the intention to let the kidnappers see that he abide by the agreement, so he does not refuse. He will drink at any table, and the drink is also very happy. It's just that there are too many people who buy themselves to drink, but they really can't tell which one is a good person and which is a bad person.

Wu Song drank a lot of wine this night. It was not until late that the guests retreated. At this moment, the Osmanthus Tower seemed to have really entered the night and began to sleep. Yanggu County has already slept in Guihualou, and only some rouge alleys can still make a hazy sound, as if a sleeping person is snoring and occasionally talking in his sleep.

The feeling of fatigue hit Wu Song again, and this feeling of fatigue rose through my heart and was completely irresistible. Every night will come, every time comes more powerfully, and comes earlier. Wu Song also thought of sleeping in the back hall and took a few steps and suddenly remembered something. During the day, he read the letter saying that he killed people with a tiger. What is that tiger?

After thinking for a while, I couldn't think of a reason. I was dizzy and tired again, so I stopped thinking about it and went into the back hall to sleep.
