My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 5 Letter of Voting from Wang Lin

Another day.

There are two villages outside the east gate of Yuncheng County, one is Dongxi Village and the other is Xixi Village, separated by a big stream.

afternoon.

The stream is murmuring, and the green willows are forming a forest.

A forty-year-old man hurriedly crossed the bluestone arch bridge and entered Dongxi Village from Xixi Village.

In the southeast corner of the village, there is a small courtyard surrounded by a wooden fence, two thatched huts, and a grape tree.

A 28-year-old Confucian student with delicate features, white face and long beard was pacing in the courtyard with a scroll in hand. The grown man knocked on the door, walked in and saluted with fists in his hands, and said respectfully, "Mr. Jialiang, please save my nephew's life." !"

"Zhang Baozheng?" The Confucian scholar was a little startled, and said, "Save your nephew? Where did you say that?"

The grown-up man was Zhang Sheng, the uncle of the poor scholar. He repeatedly clapped his hands, explained his intentions in the future, and handed over Wang Lin's blood book.

The Confucian scholar is naturally Wu Yong, the scholar of Xixi Village.

Wu Yong frowned. He and Zhang Sheng, Baozheng of Dongxi Village, were just acquaintances, that's all. Isn't it strange that the latter suddenly came to the door and begged for his nephew?

Although Wu Yong took over the folded white lining, he didn't open it to look at it. He just smiled and asked, "Zhang Baozheng, next to me is a poor scholar with a clean sleeve, no property at home, and no strength to restrain a chicken. How can he do it?" How about going to Qinghe County to save your nephew?"

Zhang Sheng sighed.

In fact, he also knows that it is presumptuous to come here, and he has no relationship with others, and has no contact with them. This kind of conversation is difficult for others.

What's more, this pedantic Wu has inherent talents and learning, but he is just a teacher in Xixi Village.

It's just that the nephew's blood book is written sincerely, and he feels that his life is at stake, so he just bites the bullet and walks through it in front of his deceased sister.

Zhang Sheng smiled wryly, saluted Wu Yong again, said "Mr. Excuse me", then turned and walked away.

Wu Yong opened the white lining after Zhang Sheng left.

Skimming directly to the distress message in front, there was a poem about Lin Jiangxian written crookedly on it, stained with blood, and he stroked his beard in silence.

"I have read thousands of volumes of scriptures, and my life machine is ingenious. The six secrets and three strategies are refined. The general is hidden in the chest, and the hero is hidden in the belly. The strategy dares to deceive Zhuge Liang, and Chen Ping is not the enemy. A small plan to surprise the ghosts and gods. The name is Wu A pedant is known as a wise man."

Immediately Wu Yong laughed.

Of course, this poem that flatters him is far from being rich in rhetoric, but it is neat and well-behaved, and the key is to express what Wu Yong wants to say but can't say.

Although he lives in the countryside, he thinks very highly of himself, and often compares himself to Zhuge Kongming, only caring about his talents.

A strange little scholar in distress in Qinghe County took great pains to send himself such a certificate of honor, in the name of asking for help, and gave him the nickname "Zhi Duo Xing".

Wu Yong thought about it again and again, and felt that it was quite appropriate, and he was very pleased with it.

……

Baozheng Chaogai of Xixi Village is a wealthy local family, who is well-known for his generosity and wealth.

Chao Gai is working out on the martial arts field, practicing with sticks. He has never married a wife in his life, so he can practice martial arts and make friends all over the world.Hearing the family newspaper that "Wu Xuexue is here", he greeted him with a big smile: "The professor came just in time, but I am waiting to send someone to invite the professor to have a drink at the village!"

Chao Gai held onto Wu Yong's arm, and the two walked shoulder to shoulder and walked towards the flower hall. This scene seemed a bit out of harmony, but Wu Yong remained calm and kept laughing.

The servant quickly put out fruits, vegetables and a plate of mutton in sauce, and brought two bottles of good wine.Chao Gai poured the wine himself, then raised the bowl and said, "Professor, please!"

"Baozheng, please!"

The two drank three bowls in a row, before Chao Gai put down the bowl and said dissatisfiedly, "Professor hasn't come to the manor for a long time, could it be that Chao Gai has neglected something?"

Wu Yong laughed: "Where is Baozheng? You and I love to make friends, regardless of each other. I just study at home these few days, so I have nothing to do."

"Okay, since that's the case, you and I should drink to our hearts' content today, and we won't return if we don't get drunk!"

Wu Yong nodded with a smile, but said slowly, "Baozheng is short of a tutor, right? Have you ever found someone?"

Chao Gai shook his head.

"I heard that Zhang Sheng, Baozheng of Dongxi Village, has a nephew who teaches for a rich family in Qinghe County. He is quite talented. I wanted to introduce him to the village a few days ago."

"Zhang Sheng's nephew? It's true that his sister married to Qinghe County..." Chao Gai waved his hand, "Since the professor wants to introduce him, let him come. In terms of money, he can't be treated badly!"

Wu Yong shook his head and sighed: "Hey, it's late, Baozheng, that boy somehow offended the master's family, was framed by the big family, slandered and stole property, and now he is tortured in the prison."

Chao Gai hated this kind of injustice the most in his life, and it was Wu Yong who deliberately made excuses for a long time. He immediately complained and said angrily: "Scholars who know books and reason, are they the kind of thief? Such a big dog, framed his beloved like this , really deserves to be killed! If this is in Yuncheng, I'll call the door directly to see if that fellow dares to harm anyone!?"

If he was in Yuncheng, Chao Gai would really know how to do it.

When Wu Yong saw that the fire was coming, he took out Wang Lin's nomination certificate and recited the poem Linjiang Xian to Chao Gai. Chao Gai laughed loudly when he heard it: "Professor, this is written by Zhang Shengna's nephew to you? Okay?" , very good, as expected, he has a lot of talent and learning, the key is still a wonderful person, this nickname of Zhi Duoxing is simply wonderful!"

Wu Yong's face turned slightly red.

He can't boast, he has to use Chao Gai's mouth to spread this elegant name.

Of course, it also caused Chao Gai to pay attention to Wang Lin.

If he directly mentioned the rescue of Wang Lin, it would always be a little abrupt, and it took so long to lay the groundwork, especially the Linjiang fairy on the first vote, although Wu Yong was praised, it also made Chao Gai feel at ease in his heart, and secretly Cherish talent.

It can be seen from Wu's ingenuity and ingenuity.

Chao Gai gulped it down, and said: "Last night, I dreamed that the Big Dipper was falling straight on the ridge of my roof. There was also a small star on the handle of the dipper, which turned into white light and disappeared. I wonder if the dream of the stars is good or bad. , was about to ask the professor to break it down, but today I heard that the scholar gave the professor the nickname of Zhi Duo Xing, doesn't it coincide with the dream?"

"So it's fate, you might as well save him."

Wu Yong smiled without saying a word.

For a hero like Chao Gai who treats money like dung, even though he lives in the countryside, he actually has a lot of dealings with people in the officialdom.

Qinghe County is not too far away, he really has an acquaintance there, the head of the county government, Zhou Ping.

At that time, Zhou Ping was down and out, penniless and living in Yuncheng.Not only did Chao Gai donate generously, but he also promised him a daughter-in-law from a big girl in the village, and gave him a lot of money as a dowry...the two families have been in constant contact these years.

After deciding to save people, Chao Gai was impatient and didn't like procrastinating, so he immediately called the housekeeper Chao Er and said, "Chao Er, go to the accountant to pay 500 taels of silver, and hurry up and go to Qinghe County to find Zhou Ping, the head of the county government. , Let’s just say that my nephew named Wang Lin was framed and imprisoned, please find a way to rescue him.”

"If you still need to spend money and silver, I will pay for it."

Chao Er took the order with fists in his hands and left.

Wu Yongduan bowl praised: "Guaranteeing righteousness, donating righteousness and donating wealth, loyalty is at the top, he is really a first-class hero in this world!"

Chao Gai laughed boldly, raised his bowl and touched Wu Yong: "Professor, money is something outside of one's body. If you don't bring it with you when you die, what's the point? It's just 500 taels of silver. It's a merit!"

The two laughed and parted happily that day.
