Chapter 200 Dalang, it’s time to take medicine~~~
The Song Dynasty implemented the strategy of strengthening the trunk and weakening the branches.

The reason for this can be traced back to the disaster of separatist regimes in the late Tang Dynasty.

The financial, material and military resources of the Song Dynasty were all concentrated in the city of Bianliang.

As for the local areas, it is usually the garrison troops who are responsible for garrison and defense.

The core of the army in the Song Dynasty was the imperial guards, but during the Xuanhe period, the imperial guards had been in arrears of money and food for years, not to mention the local garrison troops.

The main source of soldiers for the Xiang Army was the people who suffered from disasters in various places.

In order to prevent the disaster-stricken people from raising the flag of rebellion, the Song Dynasty court recruited these people as soldiers and provided them with money and food to feed them, thus avoiding possible rebellion.

But the imperial guards in Bianliang City had no food to eat, so they could only work as laborers and sing to support their families.

The situation of the local troops was naturally worse.

The soldiers in many places were even more miserable than beggars because of the arrears of money and food.

Who would work for the Song Dynasty in this kind of environment where the whole family is almost starved to death, and they are despised by everyone and treated like pigs and dogs by the government?

When Chen Ran brought Wu Dalang and his wife to the city gate, he drew his bow and shot down three torches with three consecutive arrows. The soldiers guarding the gate immediately scattered.

Why are you risking your life if you are in arrears with your money and food every month~~~
Besides, catching bandits is the job of the county government, it has nothing to do with their army!

After opening the city gate and coming out of the city, two lines of subtitles immediately floated across Chen Ran’s eyes.

'The changes have been made, and the rewards are now being distributed.'

'Note: 10,000 fried chickens are being distributed, please check carefully.'

"Fried, fried chicken?" Chen Ran said in a forced serious tone, "Pan Jinlian just wanted to have an affair, how can she be considered a chicken? She has to be fried first, how unkind."

"Brother Wu." Chen Ran looked back at the city wall where a figure was vaguely visible. He seemed to be asking but was actually making arrangements. "Let's find a place to settle down first, and then we can find Brother Erlang when he returns."

As long as he came out and hid, the charge of fleeing after killing Ximen Qing would never be cleared.

Given Wu Song's temperament and character, if his brother and sister-in-law were charged with such a crime, he would definitely abandon his official position and follow them.

If he didn't come out, the county magistrate of Yanggu County would admire Wu Song very much.

Out of consideration for Wu Song's sake, and given that it was Ximen who took the initiative to snatch the person away, the county magistrate would definitely protect him.

As for Ximen Daguanren's relatives, they are busy seizing his property, but why are they busy avenging him?

Laughing to death.

But now that he has escaped, there is no need to talk about it anymore. The county magistrate has no choice but to go out and capture him.

This requires sending official documents to Bianliang City for filing, and by then the county magistrate will not be able to help even if he wants to.

Chen Ran arranged all these along the way for this very reason.

This approach is similar to Song Heizi's, both of them use any means necessary to force people to go up the mountain.

However, compared to Song Heizi and others who would kill entire families at will, Chen Ran was obviously much kinder.

"I'm sorry, Wu brothers, I'm doing this for the people of the Song Dynasty who can't survive, and to destroy the Jin Dynasty!"

It has been nearly two hundred years since the chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

During the most brutal time of the year, the population in various places dropped sharply, and the scene was desolate everywhere.

After nearly two hundred years of recovery, Middle-earth has regained its vitality, and villages and towns are densely populated.

Chen Ran rented a house in a village dozens of miles away from the county town with the help of nature. He also hired a doctor to treat Wu Dalang's injuries and prescribe medicine.

An arrest warrant was issued from the county town, seeking the Wu Dalang couple and the notorious bandit Yun Danu.

Chen Ran went to look at the arrest warrant posted at the entrance of the village. He could only say that the portrait on it had typical features of abstract art.

Wu Dalang was painted to be big and strong. Apart from his short stature which was in line with reality, he was simply a human-shaped bucket.

Pan Jinlian was painted as a fairy, with a waist so thin that it was not even as thick as her palm.

As for Yun being furious, he clearly had a fair face and no beard, but he insisted on painting his face with a full beard.

Although he looks dignified and upright, he was painted as vicious and evil, and it is obvious that he is a lustful person.

Chen Ran was also speechless when he saw this.

If we rely on such portraits to catch criminals, we will never be able to catch them no matter where we are.

They waited quietly in the village, sending gifts every few days and asking hunters who went to the county town to sell furs to help find out whether Wu Dutou in the county town had returned.

If he comes back, invite him to the village for a chat and tell him that the Qinghe family is waiting for him here.

Wu Song finally returned to Yanggu County.

He went home happily at first, but when he arrived at the door, he found it closed and even sealed!
Wu Song was horrified and hurriedly tore open the seal and rushed in.

After searching for a while, he found no trace of his brother and sister-in-law, so he hurried out to ask the neighbors what had happened in his family.

After learning from his neighbors that his brother and sister-in-law were involved in a murder case, Wu Song was extremely worried and rushed to the county government office.

The county magistrate personally explained the whole story to him.

Wu Song's first reaction was "Ximen the thief robbed a woman, he deserves to die!"

The county magistrate sighed, "If they had surrendered at that time, it would have been easy. But they fled for fear of crime, and there was nothing I could do."

"It won't interfere with my parents' business." Wu Song said solemnly, "I will go find my brother and his wife right away!"

"Think it over carefully." The county magistrate said earnestly, "They are fugitives now. If you find them, you will lose your official position."

In this era, people emphasize protecting the safety of one's relatives. If one of your brothers commits a crime, all of them will be implicated.

The county magistrate said that he could put all the blame on Pan Jinlian and the bandit Yun Damu, thus saving the two brothers. "How can you do that!" Wu Song shook his head repeatedly. "Sister-in-law kept her chastity and killed the bandit for her brother, how can you harm her!"

"As for Brother Yun, Wu Song has nothing but gratitude!"

After saying this, he solemnly took his leave of the county magistrate, resigned from his official position and went to look for his brother and sister-in-law. From then on, he could only wander around the world.

The Yanggu County Magistrate sighed and could only tell him, "Once you find your brother and sister-in-law, leave Yanggu as soon as possible. The Ximen family is also looking for them everywhere."

A fierce look flashed across Wu Song's eyes, but soon subsided.

My brother and sister-in-law were both fine, and Mr. Ximen was stabbed to death, so there was no need to massacre the Ximen family.

After leaving the county government office, Wu Song saw the portrait on the signboard.

Seeing the image that was completely different from his brother and sister-in-law, he immediately knelt down and saluted to the county government, saying "Thank you, old parents~~~"

He worked in the government office, so he naturally knew that the county magistrate had taken the initiative to help conceal it.

Just as he was thinking about how to find his brother and sister-in-law, someone approached him and asked, "Excuse me, is this Wudutou in person?"

"You are."

"I am a hunter from Guangmei Village. Someone asked me to come and look for the head of the village. The man said, 'The Qinghe family is waiting for the head of the village to meet up.'"

Wu Song understood as soon as he heard it. He was overjoyed and hurriedly followed the man to Guangmei Village.

When I arrived at the yard rented by Chen Ran, I saw my sister-in-law as soon as I entered the door. She was feeding her brother medicine with soup~~~
"Da Lang, it's time to take medicine~~~"

Wu Dalang's dark face was full of happiness.

Since he married Pan Jinlian, he had never been treated so tenderly and comfortably.

The delicate beauty, serving him tenderly and attentively by his side, really made him smile.

Wu Song also smiled when he saw this scene.

I hope my brother and sister-in-law are fine.

He walked forward quickly, bowed his head and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, I am late~~~"

When brothers meet, they can't help but sigh and talk.

Wu Da was still thinking about clearing his name, but Wu Song rejected it outright, "It's impossible. The arrest warrant has been issued. Unless there is a general amnesty from the government, nothing you say will work."

After that, he asked again, "Where is Brother Yun?"

"What Brother Yun?" Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian looked at each other.

"Isn't there a Yun who is angry and helps his brother and sister-in-law out of trouble?"

"Oh." The couple suddenly realized. Pan Jinlian said with a smile, "The elder brother of the Chen family is named Chen Ran, and Yun Da Nu is his nickname for the bandit."

"The Chen brothers went to Jingyang Ridge, saying they were going hunting."

Guangmei Village is a bit far from Yanggu County, but it is right next to Jingyang Ridge.

There were many hunters in the village. When Wu Song killed the tiger, many hunters in the village who were conscripted to hunt tigers witnessed it with their own eyes. So when he arrived at the gate of the yamen, the hunter recognized him at a glance.

Wu Song, who only wanted to express his gratitude, immediately got up and went out, heading straight for Jingyang Ridge.

Chen Ran, holding a bow, strolled among the hills.

He didn't care about ordinary prey and was only interested in finding a tiger to see if he could kill it alone with his current level of ability.

Thousands of years from now, tigers will only be able to live in protected areas and parks and need to be protected.

But the tigers of this era are extremely numerous, and sometimes they even move in groups.

Jingyanggang is very large, with dense forests and numerous animals, making it a very suitable habitat for tigers.

He believed that there would definitely be new tigers coming to occupy this territory.

After wandering around for a long time, the sky was almost dark, but there was still no sign of the tiger.

This made Chen Ran very disappointed.

Just when I was thinking about going back down the mountain, I suddenly saw a lot of small animals running around frantically.

Chen Ran's heart moved slightly, and he immediately turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

Not long after, he saw a figure flashing in the bushes a hundred meters ahead. A huge beast with drooping eyes, white forehead and a body about ten feet long rushed out of the bushes and headed straight towards him.

If he was unarmed, Chen Ran would definitely run away at this moment.

Although his physical fitness has reached the peak human level, he is still a human.

What he truly relied on was the bow and arrow in his own hand.

He drew the bow, drew the arrow, squinted his eyes and aimed in one go.

With his years of hard-trained archery skills, it would be no problem for him to shoot the tiger in the eyes and into its brain.

Just as he took aim and prepared to shoot, there was a sudden roar from not far away.

"How dare you, evil creature?!"

The roar was like a bolt from the blue, which frightened Chen Ran so much that he was distracted. The arrow he shot failed to hit the tiger's eyes, but went into its mouth instead.

A gust of wind blew by, and Wu Song, holding a broadsword, leaped forward and pounced on the tiger.

At the same time, two lines of subtitles floated past Chen Ran's eyes.
