Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Page 316

In Ximen Qing's mind, since he has traveled here, future wars will never happen on this great river again.Therefore, instead of carefully surveying the geography near Guabu Town, he directly crossed the Yangtze River by boat and arrived at the destination of this trip, Jiangning Jiankang Mansion on Jiangnan East Road.

After entering the city, Ximen Qing and his party of dozens of people found a main store to live in. Ximen Qing whispered to Yan Qing and Shi Jin, and asked them to go to the riverside with more than a dozen fine men to inquire about the situation. "Live Flash" Wang Dingliu's village hotel, find Wang Dingliu's fellow, and then use Wang Dingliu to find the "Jiangjiang Ghost" Zhang Wang and "Youliloach" Sun San, who murdered and robbed the Yangtze River. The thieves killed them neatly in the Yangtze River.

After Yan Qing and Shi Jin took the orders and left excitedly, Ximen Qing led three or five men, took two packs of gold and silver, and asked people for directions along the way. They found An Daoquan's Jishitang Pharmacy under Huaiqiao.

The pharmacy was not big, and there was a doctor in his forties, with a ruddy complexion and three long beards, who was stocking medicines in the store.Ximenqing asked the passerby, and learned that the person in the store was An Daoquan, a genius doctor in Jiangning City, Jiankang Prefecture.

Ximenqing walked in, looked at An Daoquan, bowed his head, and asked An Daoquan to save his wife's life.

After An Daoquan asked about the origin of Ximen Qing, he said to Ximen Qing: "I have heard of the name of Ximen Daguan for a long time. A businessman from Shandong once told me that Ximen Daguan is in Yanggu County, Yunzhou. He helped the poor and gave a lot of soup and medicine to the poor. During the flood in Cangzhou, the officials of Ximen helped and rescued many displaced victims. I also heard that the officials of Ximen defeated the bandits in Yanggu County and saved one side. The safety of the common people. It stands to reason that if the high officials come to invite me personally, it would be best for me to go for a walk. It’s just that my poor wife died, and I have no relatives at home, so it’s hard to get out.”

Ximenqing laughed secretly in his heart, this An Daoquan is really duplicity!He said clearly, "The poor woman passed away, and she has no relatives at home, so she can't be far away", but secretly, she was entangled with a fireworks prostitute named Li Qiaonu in Jiankang Mansion.This Li Qiaonu was born very beautiful, and An Daoquan cared for her with this, and he and Li Qiaonu were as close as glue and like honey, inseparable.

Of course, in history, An Daoquan rejected the Liangshan bandit Zhang Shun. Firstly, he was reluctant to part with Li Qiaonu, and secondly, he used words to prevaricate Zhang Shun. In fact, he did not want to go to Liangshan to have too much entanglement with the bandits.Just in order not to offend those Liangshan bandits who murdered without batting an eyelid, An Daoquan praised Song Jiang as a righteous man in the world, while finding various reasons to evade it.

Going to Yanggu County to treat Ximenqing's family members, An Daoquan naturally lost this layer of worries, so Ximenqing's officials would not beg in every possible way like Liangshan bandit Zhang Shun.The official Ximen Qing waved his hand, and the subordinates behind him directly took out a bag of 200 taels of gold, opened the bag and placed it on the counter of An Daoquan.

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts turn the millstone, and genius doctors also have to eat, and spend money to sleep with fireworks and prostitutes.Seeing a pile of golden gold in front of him, An Daoquan felt the pride of saving lives and helping the wounded, and immediately agreed to Ximen Qingbei to go to Yanggu County, Yunzhou.

After accepting the gold, An Daoquan and Ximen Qing, who also opened a pharmacy, talked about buying and selling medicinal materials, and they really had a good chat.That night An Daoquan took Ximen Qingtong to Li Qiaonu's house and arranged for a drink.

Seeing Ximen Qing's outstanding talents, Li Qiaonu was very happy and worshiped Ximen Qing as his uncle.Three cups and five cups, when the wine was half drunk, An Daoquan said to Li Qiaonu: "I will sleep with you tonight, and tomorrow morning, I will go to Shandong with this brother for a walk, at most it will be a month, at least it will be two I will come back to see you in more than ten days."

Then Li Qiaonu said: "But I don't want you to go. If you don't obey me, you will never sleep with me again!"

An Daoquan said: "I have packed all the medicine bags, as long as I leave, I will go tomorrow. Don't worry, I will go without delay."

Li Qiaonu acted coquettishly and foolishly, so she fell into An Daoquan's arms and said, "If you still don't obey me, go, I'll just curse you to pieces!"

When Li Qiaonu was acting like a spoiled child to An Daoquan, he secretly looked at Ximen Qing, not knowing what was going on in his mind.Ximen Qing saw it, but didn't say anything, just lowered his head and ate his wine, pretending not to know.

Seeing that it was getting late, An Daoquan was so drunk that he went to Qiao Nu's room and slept on the bed.

But Li Qiaonu came to sit next to Ximen Qing, raised a glass of wine with jade hands and said: "Uncle is working hard from afar, Qiao Nu respects uncle." This fireworks prostitute is used to flirting with men, and while speaking, her breasts were already leaning against Ximen Qing body.

The whore!Just now, he deliberately made things difficult and prevented An Daoquan from going north with me, but his mind was on me!Hehehe~ Li Qiaonu, I have to let you know how powerful I am, Ximen Daguan, tonight!

If Li Qiaonu was An Daoquan's wife and concubine, then no matter how beautiful she was, officials Ximen Qing would not touch her.But she was just a prostitute that An Daoquan often came to whoring, and there was no man beside An Daoquan. Even if she swallowed her alive, it would not be considered a cuckold for the genius doctor.

The official Ximen Qing had no burden in his heart, so naturally he would not pretend to be a gentleman at this time, he stretched out his hand to embrace Li Qiaonu into his arms, and drank the fine wine from Li Qiaonu's mouth.For a while, the candles flickered, and although it was late autumn, the room was full of spring.

Ximenqing and Li Qiaonu had a few glasses of wine, but Li Qiaonu was already blushing and couldn't hold it back.She struggled to get up and led Ximen Qing to the small room to rest.

Li Qiaonu was born very beautiful, but at this moment, her body was full of spring, and her waist twisted, adding a bit of charm.Seeing this, the senior official Ximen Qing couldn't hold back, he hugged Li Qiaonu into the small room, took off his clothes, and made a good deed with her.

Dan's face smiles back to Hua'e Li, and the colorful clouds stop after Zhu Xian sings.

After Li Qiaonu had finished singing a few songs, it was almost four o'clock.She lied on Ximen Qing's chest and acted like a baby, asking Ximen Qing to come to Jiankang Mansion from Shandong to see her often in the future.

Hearing this, Ximen Qing got up and took out a package, handed it to Li Qiaonu, and smiled at her, "What's so good about this Jiankang mansion? I have 200 taels of gold for settling in here. Why don't you move to Yunzhou Let’s go to Dongping Mansion!”

Chapter 5 and Five "Living Flash" Wang Dingliu

"Officer, do you dare to be reluctant to part with the slave family? You must know that Jiankang Mansion is much more prosperous than Dongping Mansion, and the guest officials here are willing to spend money to reward the slave family. If the slave family goes with you to Dongping Mansion, they will lack food and clothing in the future. , but it all has to fall on the officials." Li Qiaonu said coquettishly to Ximen Qing while playing with a piece of gold.

How could Ximenqing not know that Li Qiaonu is a small cornucopia in this Jiankang mansion, not to mention those rich merchants, it is the water thief "Jianjiang ghost" Zhang Wang who Ximenqing wants to get rid of this time, who came to her for a night of prostitution , The shot is also twelve taels of gold.

Therefore, 200 taels of gold can't really impress Li Qiaonu. For her, it won't take long for her to earn the money.Only the officials Ximen Qing and this Li Qiaonu fought to the death several times, making her so happy that she couldn't stop, was the one who really won the favor of this beauty and made her go to Yunzhou willingly.

"Qiaonu, you can go to Shandong to inquire about it. Who doesn't know that I, Ximen Qing, is an official from Jiayun Prefecture? You just follow me to Dongping Mansion, and I will protect your future food and clothing!" Ximen Qing was confident. Said full.

Hearing what Ximenqing said, Li Qiaonu was filled with joy, so he accepted Ximenqing's invitation and decided to move to Dongping Mansion in Shandong.Although Dongping Mansion is not as prosperous as Jiankang Jiangning Mansion, there are still many Goulan tile houses.

The Beijing East-West Road is also the cultural area of ​​the Song Dynasty. In the south of Dongpingfu is Yingtianfu in Nanjing, in the west is Damingfu in Beijing, and there are canals passing through the territory. Thinking about it carefully, there is no shortage of large merchants.What's more, there are rich and noble families like Ximen Qing Daguan in the local area that make people feel inseparable?

Seeing that Li Qiaonu is so well-behaved and sensible, the official Ximen Qing embraced her in his arms, which was very tender.

Looking at Li Qiaonu with a charming figure, Ximenqing secretly cursed Zhang Shun, the "white strip in the waves".That guy is really a brainless robber, he only knows how to kill people indiscriminately.In order to force An Daoquan to go to Liangshan, he even attacked the innocent and weak girl Li Qiaonu's family and killed such a beautiful and moving woman!

Fortunately, sir, I got rid of the dog robber in Jiangzhou and saved the life of a beautiful woman like Li Qiaonu.

Senior official, I do good deeds and save lives without leaving my name. I should enjoy the rewards tonight!

……

When that Li Qiaonu was overwhelmed by the wind and rain and fell into a deep sleep, Ximen Qing dressed neatly and left Li Qiaonu's house.He returned to the main store where he was staying with a few men guarding the door, and fell asleep with his head covered, waiting for Shi Jin and Brother Yanqing's reply.

When Ximenqing brought two packs of gold to ask the genius doctor An Daoquan to go north, Yan Qing and Shi Jin also took more than ten brothers out of Jiankang Mansion and came to the Yangtze River.

After asking the locals along the way, Yan Qing and Shi Jin walked into a forest by the river and saw a village hotel with a wine flag hanging outside the store door, with the words "Wang's Old Wine" written on it.

When a group of more than a dozen people walked into the gate of the village hotel, they saw an old man selling wine on the counter in the store.

"Master, do you have any good wine and food in this restaurant? Come and eat." Shi Jin occupied a table and called to the old man.Yan Qing also sat down next to Shi Jin, and the rest of the dozen or so people sat at two other tables beside the two, filling up the small village hotel in no time.

When the old man saw a big customer coming, he ran out from behind the counter in a hurry, sang "Fat Ye" to Shi Jin and Yan Qing, and asked, "Guest officers, I have the best pork and fresh meat from the river here." Fish, and old home-brewed wine, would you like to taste it?

"Master, we are all from Shandong, and we are about to taste your river delicacies by the Yangtze River. Just cut and eat the meat, choose the best fresh fish for me to make a few, and then have a few jars Old wine. After eating, if I pay you the bill, there must be a reward from you." After Yan Qing finished speaking to the old man, she took out a large silver ingot of 20 taels, and put it on the table with a "snap".

"Guests, wait a moment! I'll warm up the wine and serve the guests!" The old man happily put away the money, and went into the back kitchen.

Not long after, the old man brought three big plates of cut meat and put them on the table.After sifting the wine for everyone, the old man asked Yan Qing and Shi Jin: "Old man, my village hotel is not near the big pier, and only some fishermen and villagers drink a few glasses of old wine here on weekdays. Dear guests Your presence really makes my small hotel flourish! I wonder what all the distinguished guests are doing here from Shandong?"

Shi Jin said: "My surname is Shi, and I am the one who is called "Jiuzhilong" by people in the Jianghu. The person next to me is also the famous "prodigal son" Yan Qing in the Jianghu. This time, I and Yanqing brothers came here specially to build The Kang family asked the genius doctor An Daoquan to return to Yunzhou to treat my sister-in-law."

The old man saw that Shi Jin and Yan Qing were both good-looking talents, and they looked rich, and his mind had been moved for a long time. Now that Shi Jin said that they came from Yunzhou, Shandong, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Guest Coming from Yunzhou, Shandong, do you know the famous hero Ximen Qing in Yanggu County, Yunzhou?"

Shi Jin and Yan Qing looked at each other with a smile, and Yan Qing said: "Master, to tell you the truth, the Yanggu County hero Ximen Qing you mentioned is my brother. The two of us came to Jiankang this time. It was the one who accompanied Brother Ximen to invite Miracle Doctor An. My brother is talking at the home of Miracle Doctor An in the city at this time. We brothers have nothing to do. We came here to watch the scenery by the Yangtze River, and we just arrived at your old hotel."

Hearing this, the old man was shocked and said: "Blessed by gods and Buddhas! There is such a coincidence in this matter? Didn't the guest officer joke to make me happy? Are you really brothers with the official Ximen Qing from Yanggu County?"

Yan Qing said: "Master, why am I playing tricks on you? Brother Shi Jia and I are both good brothers of Brother Ximen who are loyal to Jinlan."

Hearing this, the old man clapped his hands and laughed, "You two honored guests, since you are a hero from Yanggu County, I will teach my son to come out and meet you."

The old man flashed into the back kitchen dancing and shouting, "My son, put the fish down for now. The hero of Yanggu County that you miss day and night is here!"

Not long after, a thin young man came out from behind, looked at Shi Jin and Yan Qing and bowed.

Seeing this, Shi Jin and Yan Qing knew that this was Wang Dingliu, the "live flashy woman" Ximen Qing asked him to come to look for.The two water thieves, "Jiangjiang Ghost" Zhang Wang and "Youli Loach" Sun San, that Brother Ximenqing wanted to get rid of fell on this "Living Flash Pod" Wang Dingliu.

"Young student Mo Bai, please stand up and speak. Who are you?" Shi Jin pretended not to know, and asked Wang Dingliu.

Wang Dingliu raised his head and clasped his fists and said: "The villain has heard the names of your elder brothers for a long time, but I have never met you. Brother Shi Jin and Brother Yanqing, the villain's surname is Wang, and they are ranked sixth. Because they walk and jump fast, everyone calls them villains. Wang Dingliu, who is a "living flash woman". He had to go to the water to use the stick in his life. He had been a teacher for many times, but he was not allowed to pass it on. Quan lived by selling wine by the river. The villain had long wanted to vote for Brother Ximen in Yanggu County, but he couldn't enter I am afraid that Ximen brother will not accept the law of the body. I am fortunate to meet two brothers today, but it is not a blessing from heaven? I implore the two brothers to recommend a villain to Ximen brother, and the villain is willing to do a dog's work for Ximen brother."

Chapter 5 and Six: The Jiang Bandit Must Die

"Wang Dingliu, you just said that you had to swim in the water all your life. Let me ask you, how is your water skills? Brother Ximen is currently building a navy to escort caravans, and he urgently needs talents who can swim. If you are proficient in water, Brother Shi Jin and I recommend to Brother Ximen." Yan Qing asked Wang Dingliu.
