Last time, after Wu Song killed Ximen Qing, he was sent to Mengzhou, and met Sun Erniang Zhang Qing and his wife in Cross Slope outside Mengzhou City, and became brothers. Wu Song was reluctant to go to the grass and continued to serve his sentence in Mengzhou.
Since Wu Song went to the single room, the other prisoners told Wu Song that if there was silver in the new place, he would quickly take out some money to give to the messenger, and the letter of affection would also work, otherwise a killing stick and beating would be inevitable.
Wu Song did not believe in evil and said that he would not give silver if he had it. The first time I saw this, the author also pinched a handful of sweat for him, is this the place to be a hero? In prison, there is no freedom of movement, even the dragon has to be coiled, and the tiger has to squat, otherwise there are many ways to clean you up.
Sure enough, Guan Ying Xianggong (who should be equivalent to the prison warden) passed the hall, escorted Wu Song up, and said: "Emperor Taizu Wude's old system: But whenever he first arrives in the army, he must fight a hundred killing sticks." Wu Song said, "If I want to fight, if I dodge a stick, I am not a good man who fights tigers!" Never played before is not counted, from the new to start again! If I scream, I am not a good man in Yanggu County! ”
This is also too big, good men do not eat the immediate loss, Wu Song this is looking for a fight yo.
The military man picked up the stick, shouted, and prepared to fight, only to see a person standing next to Guan Ying Xianggong, who said a few words in the ear of Guan Ying Xianggong. Only to see Guan Ying said, "The new prisoner Wu Song, what kind of illness did you get on the way?" Wu Song said, "I have not been harmed on the road!" Wine is also eaten! Meat is eaten too! Eat too! The road is also walking! (There really isn't.) It's too arrogant, it's almost unreasonable not to beat him hard) Guan Ying said: This is sick here on the way, I see that his face is good, and I sent him this killing stick. (What is this operation?) Confused) The soldiers on both sides of the cane said to Wu Song lowly, "You are about to say that you are sick." This is the Xianggong will be on you, and you will soon only push the former bad. Wu Song said, "No harm!" Knock it down clean! I don't want to leave this 'storage stick'! When is it! People watching on both sides laughed. Guan Ying also laughed (laughed, wonderful): "I think you man is too sick with fever, and he has not sweated, so he made wild remarks." Don't listen to him, and forbid him in a single room. (That's okay!) Served)
When I first saw this, I almost wanted to scold Shi Nai'an, in order to set off Wu Song's heroism, it was also written too fake, right? Partial Wu Song encountered such a good thing? Guan Ying has such a good temper, he should not fight, and he is still excused everywhere, thinking of Lin Chong, everywhere to accompany carefully, or to be cleaned up. People are more popular than dead people, and Lao Shi you are also too eccentric.
After watching it many times, I suddenly understood that these people were all acting. How to say it? Listen to me slowly:
We later learned that the man standing next to the official camp was his son, named Shi En, nicknamed "Golden Eye Biao". Water Margin has a subliminal law, basically there are nicknames, are all jianghu characters. Since they are jianghu figures, when passing through the cross slope, Shi Nai'an specially told us that Wu Song and Sun Erniang Zhang Qing talked about a lot of things on the rivers and lakes, Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing opened a hotel, well-informed, and they all knew what was going on in the rivers and lakes.
Cross Slope is only half a day away from Mengzhou City, and they have also stayed in Mengzhou City, how many years has Shi En's father and son been in Mengzhou City, Sun Erniang has also mixed in this area since her father's generation, will they not know the golden-eyed Biao Shi'en? Even if they don't have a relationship with Grace, will they not know this person? Since they knew this person, Wu Song went to Mengzhou to serve his sentence, and it just happened to be under the control of Shi En, could they not tell Wu Song about it? So Wu Song already knew About Shi En, knew that he was also a good man in the green forest, Shi En would not embarrass him, he himself knew very well his current reputation in the jianghu, so he was entrusted, otherwise he was stupid, looking for a beating?
The second reason is that Wu Songgang lost his only relative and brother, and had to kill his sister-in-law, and the sadness in his heart has not yet passed, so he uses this "mixed-up" way to vent his inner emotions.
And does Shi En know Wu Song? Obviously known. There is evidence in the book, that is, when he first sent a bribe to Wu Song, he said:
The messenger said, "You are also a person with eyebrows and eyes, and you need me to speak." You are a good man who fights tigers in Jingyang Gang, Yanggu County is the head of the capital, only you know things, how can you not meet the current affairs? You dare to come to me, and the cats will not eat you! ”
Judging from this passage, the messenger knows that the person who came is the famous tiger fighting tiger Wusong in the jianghu, can Shi En not know? Remember this sentence, the world's green forest is one. "Shi Nai'an, you old fox!" Shi Nai'an: "Blame me?" You can't see it for yourself. So the gang is all acting. Wu Song was also very clear in his heart.
Back in the cell, I saw a soldier entering with a box and asking, "Is that the newly appointed Wudu head?" Wu Song replied, "I am!" What is there to say? The man replied, "The camp is calling for a snack here." When Wu Song looked, a large bowl of wine, a plate of meat, a plate of noodles, and a large bowl of juice. Wu Song pondered, "Do you dare to eat these snacks with me but deal with me?" ...... And I ended up eating, but I ignored it!" "Wu Song drank the wine and ate all the meat and noodles. The man packed up the house and went back. Wu Song sat in the room and pondered, sneering to himself, "See how he can deal with me!" ”
It is precisely because he has a number in his heart, so although there are some doubts, Wu Song should still eat and sleep.
The next day, one of them led Wu Song out of the single room, and Wu Song sat in the middle of the day, and the man brought in a carrying box and carried a bottle of wine in his hand. In the room, four kinds of fruits, a cooked chicken, and many steamed rolls will be laid out. The man tore the cooked chicken and sifted the good wine out of the note for du tou to eat.
On the third day, Izumi delivered food and wine in this way. The other prisoners had to work in the sun, and Wu Song didn't have to do anything alone, hanging around.
For three days in a row, something was wrong, and the normal operation should be to visit Shi En in prison, recognize Wu Song, and have one more friend. However, Shi En did not play his cards according to the routine, which made Wu Song a little confused.
At noon that day, the man brought the wine and food again. Wu Song couldn't bear it, pressed the box, and asked the man, "Whose companion are you?" Why do you just invite me with wine and food? (Subtext, Shi En should come to see me," right?) What a name! ）
(Shi En is also an old jianghu, knows how to ask for people, to "give grace" to the other party is embarrassed, take the initiative to ask.) If there is no friendship, take the initiative to open your mouth, let the famous tiger Wu Song go to fight for himself as a thug to grab the turf, maybe he will be despised by Wu Song, it will be embarrassing. At this point, the fire was almost over, and Shi En appeared).)
It turned out that Shi En was obviously a prince of the official camp, but in fact, he was also a mixed society, and he had a request for Wu Song.
Shi En said, "Little Brother has a city outside the east gate here, and the place name is called Happy Forest, but Shandong and Hebei merchants have come there to do business, there are one hundred and ten large guest houses, thirty or twenty gambling houses, and exchange shops (traffic arteries, in today's terms, it is the Golden Belt)." Usually, the younger brother relied on his personal skills, and the two caught eighty or ninety prisoners in the camp, and went there to open a liquor and meat shop, which was divided into shops and gambling money exchanges. (This sentence means to monopolize the wine and meat business) But a person who has passed by a prostitute must first come to see the younger brother, and then allow him to take advantage of the food (the jianghu seller eats here and has to pay a protection fee). At the end of the month, there are also three or two hundred and two hundred silver to find. (It turned out that Shi En was a local land snake, using his identity to collect protection fees in the Happy Forest, two or three hundred and two a month, at least 3,000 silver a year, it was really a piece of fat meat)
Recently, he was trained by Zhang Tuanlian (equivalent to the captain of a militia organization in this camp), and newly came from Donglu Prefecture, bringing a surname of Jiang, with a name of loyalty, with a figure of nine feet; he had a nickname in the jianghu, called Jiang Men shen. He had a good skill, so he came to take the path of the little brother. The younger brother refused to let him, ate that and punched and kicked, and couldn't get up for two months. Ben was going to get up and fight with him, but he had Zhang Tuan to practice that class of regular troops, and if he made trouble, he would first compromise himself with the battalion. Brother Jiuwen is a big husband (I already knew that it was Wu Song), how to get the brother and the younger brother out of this endless resentment, death and blind; only afraid that the brother is far away from the hard work, the qi is not finished, the strength is not enough, so the education rest for half a year and three months, wait for your body to be exhausted, please consult. ”
From this paragraph, we can see that Shi En is the land snake here, the second generation of officials, the father and son duo monopolized the business around the Happy Forest, which is a piece of fat. The new Zhang Tuanlian was very red eyed about this profit. He found a jianghu figure who was very capable of fighting, Jiang Menshen, and took the business of Happy Forest hard. Isn't he afraid of grace to fight back? On the strength of the white road, he is higher than the father and son of Shi En, and on the strength of the underworld, none of Shi En's men can fight, which is more embarrassing. Therefore, Shi En could only find someone more powerful than Jiang Menshen to fight, and Wu Songfa, who just killed the tiger with his bare hands, was assigned to Mengzhou, which was simply a life-saving straw for Shi En.
Of course, on the white road, it is generally not open to tear the face, but only to support an agent to fight.
It is said that this grace is also very impressive, just like his nickname, it is almost drilled into the eyes of money. Will Wu Song help him?!
Wu Song readily agreed that this was actually not in line with his principle of dealing with people, and he used people as thugs to grab territory and bury them. Later, when he gave Song Jiang a thug, Wu Song was reluctant to go, originally according to his talents, he could have become the number one killer under Song Jiang, but he had his own bottom line. Therefore, Song Jiang had to find someone like Li Kui. So why would he say yes now? First, he owes grace and is not good not to go. Second, he has just experienced the change of his brother and sister-in-law, and he has become lonely again, and at the same time, his heart is also very hurt, and he has no sense of belonging, so he needs to find someone to fight to vent his emotions.
Because Shi En was worried that Wu Song would not be able to deal with Jiang Men Shen, Wu Song had casually revealed his hand:
Wu Song shook the stone pier slightly, and laughed, "The little man is really delicate, and he can move there!" Shi En said, "Three or five hundred pounds of stones, how to despise him!" ”
First pretend not to move, hang the appetite of the crowd. This is a good trick to get away with it.
Wu Song smiled, "Xiao Guan Ying also believes that he really can't afford it?" Watch Wu Song take one. "Hold the stone pier only one by one, and gently hold it up; with both hands, the stone pier will be skimmed only once, and it will be thrown down to the ground a foot deep." When the prisoners saw this, they were all shocked.
Then pick it up, And Xiao Lu reached out. There was also a hand left in the back.
Wu Song lifted his right hand to the ground again, lifted it up, and only threw it in the air, throwing it up a foot high from the ground; Wu Song only touched his hands and gently placed it in the original old place. Shi En hugged Wu Song and prayed, "Brother Extraordinary Man!" What a god! All the prisoners prayed in unison, "True God and man." ”
Put three or five hundred pounds of stone piers, lift one hand, and throw a zhang to the height, this is not what the gods are? Moreover, the desire to promote and suppress first, mobilized the emotions of the people. Does anyone else doubt his abilities now? It can only be admired by the five bodies thrown to the ground. The following is just waiting to fight with Jiang Menshen. Drunken beating of Jiang Men Shen is a wonderful section in the Water Margin, Wu Song's handling method is brave and strategic, and the aftermath work is also done without leaks, reflecting the ability of superhuman, please see the next episode, Drunken Beating Jiang Men Shen.
