Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

The two frantically tried for a long time, but there was still no response.

When Ximen Qing saw that he had become a eunuch...

Naturally, he was furious.

Without thinking, he slapped Wang Liu'er twice.

Although Han Daoguo knew that his wife had been wronged,

But for the sake of the Ximen family's money...

All that could be done was to let Wang Liu'er continue to serve Ximen Qing diligently.

Ximen Qing, of course, could not accept becoming a eunuch.

So every night he would find different ways to torment Wang Liu'er.

He wanted to regain his former virility.

Unfortunately, after trying for several days in a row,

They are all useless.

Instead, it caused chaos and unrest in South Korea.

Although Wang Liu'er was flirtatious, she couldn't stand Ximen Qing's treatment of her.

He then asked Han Daoguo to find a way to get rid of Ximen Qing.

Han Daoguo, however, was unwilling to offend Ximen Qing, so he could only drag it out like this.

Until this day,

Because it still didn't work last night.

Ximen Qing was irritably doing chores in the room.

Then Han Daoguo rushed in.

He reported the information he had gathered at the market.

"Are you telling the truth? Are you really leaving tomorrow after killing the tiger and getting the bird?" Ximen Qing asked.

“My lord, everyone in the market already knows about this. Right now, Yun Ge is still helping them buy things for their journey.”

Han Daoguo quickly replied.

"That damned Zhao Dalang! He injured the master, and now he wants to just walk away?"

Ximen Qing gritted his teeth and slammed his fist hard on the table next to him.

"Han Daoguo, go find Ying Bojue immediately and bring all my brothers here!"

Chapter 54 Wang Po Offers Two Schemes (Seeking flowers and ratings)

Han Daoguo had only been gone a short while when...

Ximen Qing's nine brothers,

Earl Ying, Xie Xida, Zhu Shinian, and the others all rushed over.

Upon seeing Ximen Qing,

These people immediately offered words of comfort and showed great care.

But when Ximen Qing questioned them,

Does anyone have a way to deal with Zhao Dalang, the tiger hunter?

Everyone fell silent.

"Damn it, I've been raising you all for nothing! When it really comes down to it, you all cower like turtles!"

Ximen Qing cursed them one by one.

Lord Ying said aggrievedly, "My lord, we are all ruffians. If we bully ordinary people, it will be fine, but that Zhao Dalang is the kind of guy who can kill a tiger with one punch."

"If we used our usual methods on him, we would all lose our lives."

"Yeah yeah!"

The others quickly nodded in agreement.

Ximen Qing felt extremely suffocated by his brothers' anger.

Just as he was about to slam his fist on the table in a fit of rage...

A familiar voice suddenly came from the courtyard.

"So this is where you were hiding, sir! I've been searching for you everywhere..."

Ximen Qing turned his head and saw that the person who had entered was none other than Wang Po.

Upon seeing this old woman,

He suddenly remembered the day he was thrown downstairs!

"You old hag, you dare come looking for me! If you hadn't brought that Zhao Dalang into the teahouse, would I be in this state now?"

Ximen Qing roared and strode over.

Seeing that things were not going well, Granny Wang immediately knelt down on the ground.

With tears streaming down her face, the old woman cried out, "My lord, what happened that day was truly not my fault! I never imagined they would switch places and have Zhao Dalang replace Zhao Niangzi!"

"My lord has been humiliated, and my teahouse was burned down by that Zhao Dalang. That was my life savings!"

"What's the point of saying all this now, you old hag?"

Enraged, Ximen Qing kicked Wang Po over.

"My lord, I heard that Zhao Dalang is leaving tomorrow, so I came to find you."

Wang Po grabbed Ximen Qing's leg and said with a face full of hatred,

"I have a plan that will surely make Zhao Dalang die without a burial place. Then, his beautiful wife will naturally belong to you, sir!"

"Don't mention that Zhao family woman to me again!"

Ximen Qing gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

"Tell me, what terrible idea do you have now?"

These days, Granny Wang has been hiding at Aunt Xue's place.

Little did they know that Ximen Qing had long been impotent.

Although it felt strange, all they could do was continue.

"My lord, don't you find Zhao Dalang's background suspicious?"

"What's weird?"

Ximen Qing frowned: "You old hag, stop being so pretentious! Spit out what you have to say!"

"Yes, yes!" Granny Wang nodded quickly. "Does the sir still remember the sensational event that shook the Song Dynasty half a month ago?"

"Half a month ago? You mean the assassination attempt on the current emperor by Zhao Yuan in Tokyo?"

Ximen Qing asked, puzzled,

"What does this have to do with Zhao Dalang, who killed the tiger?"

"My lord, it is said that after Zhao Yuan assassinated the emperor, he fled Tokyo with Li Shishi, a famous courtesan. Although the court issued a warrant for his arrest, they have been unable to find his whereabouts."

Granny Wang reminded him, "This tiger-slayer Zhao Dalang has never revealed his real name, and he's always accompanied by a woman as beautiful as a fairy..."

"Hey, Aunt Wang, you're not trying to say that this Zhao Dalang is Zhao Yuan, are you?"

"The Earl of Deying said irritably from the side,"

"The painting clearly depicts Zhao Yuan as just over twenty years old, with a fair complexion, making a living as a storyteller, and clearly resembling a frail scholar!"

"And this tiger-slayer, Zhao Dalang, has a dark complexion, a beard, and looks to be almost thirty. Moreover, he is strong and powerful, capable of killing a tiger with a single punch!"

"These two people are so different, how could they be the same person?"

When Wang Po heard him say that, she just pursed her lips.

His expression was full of disdain.

"Shut up, let Aunt Wang continue!"

Ximen Qing glared at Ying Bojue, signaling Wang Po to continue.

"The gentleman is indeed sensible."

Wang Po said with a sinister smile, "Officials have two mouths; if they say you're a ghost, then you can only be a ghost! Whether this Zhao Dalang is the Zhao Yuan the court is looking for depends entirely on what the county magistrate says."

"As far as I know, when Zhao Dalang arrived in Yanggu County, Magistrate Li wanted to recruit him as a captain of the infantry, but Zhao Dalang refused on the spot!"

"Although Magistrate Li did not lash out at the time, he must have been displeased."

"If you, sir, can get through to Magistrate Li, you can arrest Zhao Dalang on the pretext that he resembles Zhao Yuan. Then, you can bribe the jailers and finish him off in prison!"

"Even if it turns out he's not Zhao Yuan, what good will it do? At worst, we can just return the body to the Zhao family and say he died of an illness in prison, isn't that enough?"

This old woman, Wang Po, said something...

Ximen Qing suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.

They quickly helped Wang Po, who had fallen to her knees, to her feet.

"My godmother is truly knowledgeable and resourceful. I will follow her advice and go to the county government to find Magistrate Li!"

Chapter 55 The County Government Office Receives Farewell Wine (Seeking Flowers and Reviews)

In the inn,

They are packing their luggage.

Then a group of yamen runners came.

It is said that Magistrate Li of Yanggu County heard that the tiger-slaying hero was leaving.

A farewell banquet was specially held at the county government office.

Zhao Yuan asked the yamen runners to wait a moment.

He then returned to the courtyard.

He instructed Lu Zhishen to wait until he left.

He immediately took Li Shishi and Chunmei out of the city.

"Brother, the magistrate is hosting a farewell banquet, why are you being so cautious?"

Lu Zhishen was somewhat puzzled.

“Brother, the magistrate of Yanggu County has a very close relationship with Ximen Qing. The day I publicly refused to become the infantry captain, I already offended the magistrate.”

Zhao Yuan explained, "These past few days, the county government has ignored us completely. Why are they now summoning me over?"

"Brother, are you saying this county government office is a trap?"
