If the Water Margin

Chapter 29 Test

Wu Song

It's dark, and it's time to hold the lamp. Wu Song knew that there was no time to rest. Yanggu County, there are other enemies. Now my body has been seriously injured, and I can't stop bleeding in many places. The power of the crescent moon has been almost consumed. The rest must be relied on myself, and my current state is definitely unable to cope with high-intensity fighting.

"Ex trouble you, I'm seriously injured and need medicine and dressing. In addition, help me get a sedan chair. I'm going back to the county government. My sister-in-law fainted next to me. Please find a family member to take care of her. At this time, you must take advantage of your identity. Yes, I still have rescuers.

The people who came began to do all kinds of things. Some took medicine to help Wu Song bandage the wound, some cleaned the blood stains, some went to get a sedan chair, and some went home to arrange the women's family. After a while, the sedan chair came. Wu Song controlled his trembling body, got on the sedan chair and went to the county government. On the way, the sedan said suddenly, "We all heard the roar of the tiger just now. We all thought it was the tiger that entered the county, so we came here. It turned out that you showed your power to kill the thief. The roar of Dutou is really more powerful than that of a tiger.

Bad, Wu Song suddenly thought that the roar of the crescent moon was so loud that about half of Yang Gu heard it, but well, this amazing roar can also make the opponent feel afraid. This is more like a declaration to tell the opponent that he is not dead.

Zishi Street is not far from the county government, and Wu Song has arrived without thinking for too long. Trying to suppress the pain, Wu loosened the sedan, and a group of officials were surprised to see that they came out of the sedan chair alive.

"Head, are you a ghost? We took care of your funeral during the day." An official said tremblingly.

"Of course I'm a human. The one who died in Guihua Tower is not me." Although Wu Song was very tired, he tried to say calmly.

"Dou, the county magistrate learned that you survived the disaster, and now he has ordered you to go to the back court to discuss the matter." Someone came to send a message.

Wu Song had to turn around and walk to the back hall. He took two steps and said to many officials, "Thank you for your hard work. Don't go home tonight. As soon as the meeting is over, I have something to ask you."

"To be honest, we have never treated us badly, and the little people should serve us." Officials held their fists together.

When Wu Song went to the back hall, his heart was very heavy, and he must now consider how to deal with the county magistrate as soon as possible. The county government is not big, and it will arrive in an instant.

The county magistrate sat on the right seat, and Wu Song came in and hurriedly knelt down to salute: "The villain has seen you. I haven't come to pay saluted for many days. Please forgive me."

"Hahaha, where does Wudu talk? Your brother was kidnapped and sacrificed his life to rescue him, which was very touching. People say that the eldest brother is the father, Wu Song, you love your brother so much, which is also a word of filial piety. Now that the times have changed, it is not the time to show filial piety, otherwise the county will definitely recommend you to the court. The county magistrate didn't have much expression on his face, and he was also very plain when he said these words, while touching his beard.

"Adults are flattered. It's a big mistake for the villain to delay a lot of business as a leader for his own personal affairs." Wu Song was still kneeling, and the county magistrate seemed to have forgotten to wake himself up.

"What do you think of Qi Si's death?" The county magistrate suddenly said.

Wu Song had expected that the county magistrate would ask this question, but he didn't expect it to be so undecorated. Wu Song thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "Qi Si died on behalf of the villain. That house was originally given to me by others. I saw that Qi Si was running around for the affairs of the little brother, and I was grateful, so I gave the house to him. Because there have been many things recently, I haven't checked the house, so that I haven't seen through the thief's tricks.

"I'm afraid it's useless for you to check. It was a steel plate full of sharp blades, hidden in the ceiling of the bedroom **. Only when ** lies down for more than an hour will the steel plate be touched and fall down. The mechanism is cleverly designed and amazing. Qi Si has been an official in Yanggu for many years and is proficient in local affairs. I also know that some people call it a local snake. Although it sounds a little unpleasant, it is appropriate to think about it. I often ask and rely on him about many things. Alas, he died like this." The county magistrate's face showed a bleak look.

Wu Song didn't know how to interface for a moment. Although the county magistrate's words did not end with questions, this obvious pause seemed to be waiting for himself to express his attitude, but the question is, what should be said? Wu Song is still kneeling on the ground at this moment, which is not in line with the usual situation. Generally speaking, Wu Song kneels symbolically when he sees the county magistrate, and then the county magistrate will raise his hand to help him. This situation will only occur on some more formal occasions. Usually, Wu Song only needs to bend down to salute. Today's kneeling without help or even a word of courtesy, should I really make a statement about this inexplicable pause? Wait and see.

After a while, the county magistrate continued to begin to make no need for the audience's statement. Less than 20 days ago, Qi Si suddenly mentioned to me that he was going to have a curfew in the county. At that time, I asked him why. He said that there should be a large amount of money of unknown origin in Yanggu County. Someone may want to transfer it and must organize this behavior. At that time, I asked Qi Si what kind of silver it was. Just check it directly. Qi Si said that he was not sure, but he would definitely find it. When the county magistrate said this, his words stopped again. This time, instead of touching his beard, he picked up the tea bowl and began to drink tea.

Wu Song gradually understood that the county magistrate was testing himself with words to see how he reacted. You might as well let him say that if he had any real evidence, he wouldn't have to fight like this, and I will adapt to the changes. As soon as he relaxed, Wu Song felt the wound on his chest and began to bleed again.

"At noon yesterday, Qi Si suddenly found me and said that everything was about to be known. What's wrong? He said that it will take 20 days. In a few more days, the owner of the silver will certainly not be able to break through the customs. I asked him, why should it be 20 days? He told me that the owner of the silver was not in the county during this period, but he would definitely return within 20 days. After returning, the owner would immediately be alert and try to transfer the silver when he saw the silver curfew in the county. The county magistrate put down the tea bowl and said slowly, "He asked me to remove a part of the Minggang, send a dark post, and wait for the other party to break through." The county magistrate's words stopped here, and he stared at Wu Song.

Wu Song's brain is running fast: It seems that the local snake is really calculating me. The fake time I agreed with Ma San is 20 days. He doesn't know where I went, but he knows that I will definitely return within 20 days. If I come back, I will see the whole county under curfew. There is bound to be some reactions. But where did I reveal my information? Wu Song began to think about his mistakes. After thinking about it, yes, that 100 taels of silver. After Qi Si came to Ma San, I gave him a hundred taels of silver in my room. I was too careless at that time. I thought that as long as I gave enough benefits to people like him, he could die. I forgot that he was a snake to climb up with the stick. He must have thought where I got so much money, as long as If you think about what happened after I became the leader, you can guess that it is inseparable.

Fortunately, he died! If he doesn't die, I may be in real trouble. When Wu Song thought of this, he suddenly had some fear. He easily entrusted his back to Qi Si, which almost buried him.

"Qi Si also said." The county magistrate stared at Wu Song, only his mouth was moving: "If he dies, let me ask you about the whereabouts of the silver."

See the poor dagger. This is the real reason why the county magistrate recruited Wu Song. Qi Si also foresaw that he was in a huge whirlpool and instinctively felt the danger.

"The villain really doesn't know that there is a huge pair of silver in Yanggu County, which is worthy of the cultivation of adults." Wu Song simply bowed his head and pretended to admit his mistake.

Quiet, quiet, quiet.

Wu Song lowered his head. He couldn't see what the county magistrate's expression was, and he didn't know how long the confrontation between him and the county magistrate and the dead Qi Si would last.

After a burst of incense, I suddenly heard the county magistrate sighing: "Well, Wu Song, get up." Then he saw the hands supported by the county magistrate. Wu Song naturally stood up with the help and raised his head.

" Sit down." The county magistrate pointed to the chair next to him, and Wu Song sat on it without any refusal. At this moment, Wu Song found that the county magistrate's hands were full of blood, which was glued to when he helped him just now. The county magistrate also saw the blood on his hand. Strangely, he didn't care, but wiped his hand on his casual clothes.

"I just heard this morning that my relatives in the capital were tired by the struggle of the officialdom more than a month ago, and my whole family was sent to prison and their homes were raided. The time is not long after you escorted the silver. The letter you brought back to me may become the only sustenance of your relatives. I also know that there is no need to explore the results of some things. In the future, we need to rely on more on Yanggu's affairs. When he said the last few words, the county magistrate's face was already smiling.

"Your Excellency is a big prize." Wu Song can only answer like this.

I heard that there is a scholar in Shandong named Xiao Rang, who is called a holy hand calligrapher, so that the star-picking hand can imitate the handwriting of all kinds of people. I think there should be more than one such person in the world. Can Wu Dutou find such a person to imitate the handwriting of my relatives and write an article scolding me? In this way, I can send it to the top, which can also be used as a proof of dividing boundaries and keep this hard-won official position. I think this should not be difficult for Wu Dutou. The county magistrate stood up and stood against the light, leaving Wu Song in the shadow behind him.
