Chapter 20: The Real Wu Song!

Zhang Jie looked at the brothers who were pouring out their longing for each other and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

In Wu Dalang's eyes, his younger brother Wu Song was the best.

How could Wu Song not treat his brother Wu Dalang like a father?

Back then, Wu Da carried a pole, with steamed buns on one end and Wu Er on the other,

and when he met a buyer with milk, as long as he could let Wu Er eat a meal of milk, he wouldn't charge for the steamed buns.

Whether Pan Jinlian cheated or not didn't matter much to Wu Er;

at worst, he would just let his brother Wu Dalang divorce her.

Unfortunately, Pan Jinlian, instigated by Wang, killed Wu Da.

That's why Wu Er said: "Forgiving you is easy, but return my brother's life!"

The world says Wu Da is a three-inch nail, but they don't know this is a three-inch demon-sealing nail.

When Wu Da was still alive, Wu Song would go out to hide when he caused trouble.

When Wu Da was gone, Wu Song: "The killer is Wu Song!"

When Wu Da was alive, Wu Song still had a sense of proportion in his actions, fearing to implicate his brother; once Wu Da died, Wu Song had no more worries.

Later, when he met Supervisor Zhang, he thought he had met a good person,

not knowing that he was deliberately trying to frame him, which was why he killed everyone cleanly.

He didn't even spare the maid who tricked him; this was because he was too angry.

Looking at the entire *Water Margin*, only this one brother could suppress this Tai Sui God,

and only this one brother could push the Wu Song who could beat a tiger!

"Let everyone laugh."

Wu Song, who had finished pouring out his longing, wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and apologized to Shi Shi Wenbin, Li Xiucheng, and others.

"Not at all, not at all. This is human nature; what is there to laugh at?"

Shi Shi Wenbin appreciated Wu Song even more.

This Wu Song was not only powerful in martial arts but also deeply affectionate and righteous to his brother Wu Dalang; he was truly a first-class hero in the world!

At the same time, he became even more determined about a certain decision in his heart.

"Thank you, Young Master, for taking care of my brother all these years."

Wu Song came to Zhang Jie and bowed almost to the ground.

He had already learned from his brother Wu Dalang that ever since he fled in fear of crime,

Zhang Jie, upon receiving the news, had picked up his brother and taken him to Qinghe County.

Not only did he rent a two-story small building to his brother at a low price as a shop and residence,

but he also helped his brother Wu Dalang solve troubles many times.

If it weren't for Zhang Jie's righteous action, he didn't know what kind of bullying his brother would have suffered.

"Brother Wu Er, please get up quickly."

Zhang Jie hurriedly reached out to help the kneeling Wu Song up, then said humorously:

"Brother Wu has also helped me a lot over the years, saving my fragile appetite."

Wu Song and Wu Dalang both smiled upon hearing this.

In their view, the bond between them and Zhang Jie was precisely the fragrant and delicious steamed buns made by Wu Dalang.

However, this couldn't be considered a lie told by Zhang Jie:

He, who had been physically weak in the past, often had no appetite,

and for some reason, Wu Dalang's steamed buns were unexpectedly to his taste.

Slowly, the procession walked to the county government, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Wu Song placed the tiger he had beaten to death in front of the county government gate for the commoners who came later to admire,

while he followed Shi Shi Wenbin, Zhang Jie, Mr. Li, and others into the county government to talk in detail.

Entering the county government, Shi Shi Wenbin had people serve good tea.

After sipping the clear tea, Shi Shi Wenbin, sitting in the main seat, opened his mouth:

"I wonder what business Warrior Wu is currently engaged in?"

Wu Song, upon hearing this, couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed; it was shameful to say,

he had been "idling" all these years, without a proper business:

"Reporting to the County Magistrate, Wu Song has just returned to Yanggu and does not yet have a business."

Shi Shi Wenbin, upon hearing this, not only was not disappointed but his eyes lit up:

No business is good! Too good!

Thinking of the fierce man who broke into the Ximen family on a moonlit night, killed Ximen Qing,

and his personal servant Daian, Shi Shi Wenbin couldn't wait to invite:

"The position of head constable in Yanggu County has been vacant since the last head constable left.

If Warrior Wu doesn't mind, how about you come to the county government to be a head constable?"

After saying this, Shi Shi Wenbin looked at Wu Song with great expectation.

Without a sturdy man like Wu Song who could beat a tiger to guard, he couldn't sleep at night!

As long as Wu Song took the position of head constable, he thought it would make that fierce man wary, right?

And Shi Shi Wenbin didn't expect to be able to capture and kill that fierce man.

His requirement was not high; as long as that fierce man didn't commit crimes in Yanggu again, that would be fine.

As for the others, he couldn't care less.

Even if that fierce man went to the provincial capital, went to Bianliang, and harmed the nobles, he didn't care.

After all, "death to the fellow traveler, not to the poor Daoist"!

The County Assistant, who had a very low presence, wanted to say something when Shi Shi Wenbin invited Wu Song.

However, a subtle look from Shi Shi Wenbin made him shut his mouth.

He, who had worked with Shi Shi Wenbin for several years, understood in a blink:

Shi Shi Wenbin: County Assistant, you don't want to live in fear either, right?

The County Assistant thought about it and realized it was indeed the truth;

there were only thieves for a thousand days, never guards for a thousand days!

And Wu Song was a newcomer; even if he was recruited by Shi Shi Wenbin, Wu Song had no roots in Yanggu,

so he wouldn't break the original power structure and wouldn't harm his interests.

No conflict of interest, and there were benefits, so why offend a sturdy man like Wu Song?

Zhang Jie's loud voice possessed him: Am I not a person? Am I really not a person?

Well, Zhang Jie really didn't have the time and energy to invest in the power struggles of Yanggu County.

Now his top priority was still preparing for the imperial examination; others could wait.

As for why Zhang Jie still participated in the imperial examination after the shared space came?

Firstly, passing the imperial examination was the greatest expectation his father, Zhang Dahu,

and his teacher, Mr. Li, had for him, and it was also the goal he had worked hard for for many years.

Continuing the imperial examination now was to give an account to the spirit of Zhang Dahu in heaven, to Mr. Li, and to his former self.

Secondly, it was because the Zhang Jies who had come to the shared space so far were not very powerful.

Although the Yitian Zhang Jie provided internal energy, a supernatural power that the Water Margin world didn't have,

internal energy was ultimately a product of the martial arts world, not the magic power of the Xianxia world, and couldn't make Zhang Jie fight a country alone.

Take the current Zhang Jie, for example; naked, he would have to avoid the sharp edge when facing fifty

fully armed soldiers.

What to do if you can't beat the Great Song?

Of course, it's to join it!

……

"Thank you for the County Magistrate's love."

Wu Song stood up and cupped his hands.

Just when Shi Shi Wenbin thought he was about to get his wish, Wu Song changed the subject:

"Please forgive Wu Song for refusing."

"Why is this?"

Shi Shi Wenbin couldn't hold it in.

He had already shown his greatest sincerity; how could Wu Song still refuse?

Without Wu Song, how could he sleep at night?

Mr. Li was also secretly anxious for Wu Song:

Tiger-hunting hero and so on were ultimately empty names.

People can pursue fame, but it's hard to live entirely on fame.

At least the fame of this tiger-hunting hero level couldn't bring direct benefits.

It wasn't that the fame of the tiger-hunting hero wasn't loud,

but that this fame showing personal bravery was hard to bring direct benefits.

The position of head constable, although not ranked, was a real-power position that controlled the criminal law of a county,

and it was a position that countless people dreamed of but couldn't get.

Even Zhang Jie was a bit surprised:

Coach Shi, this is different from what was said!

He remembered that in the original work, Wu Song did indeed agree to Shi Shi Wenbin's invitation after hunting the tiger,

and served as the head constable of Yanggu County, equivalent to the position of County Public Security Bureau Chief.

"Reporting to the County Magistrate, Young Master Zhang is about to set off to Jinan to attend the autumn examination,

and Wu Song wants to escort Young Master Zhang there." Wu Song stated his reason.

He had already learned from his brother Wu Dalang that Zhang Jie's merchant caravan had been robbed by bandits.

To repay Zhang Jie's kindness, he decided to escort Zhang Jie to Jinan.

Zhang Jie stood up suddenly; he didn't expect Wu Song to refuse Shi Shi Wenbin's invitation for his sake.

"Brother Wu Er..."

Zhang Jie was deeply moved.

Wu Song had almost given up the only opportunity in his life to

change his class to repay him; this made him not moved?

At the same time, he also sighed in his heart: Only such a Wu Song is Wu Song!

"Good!"

Mr. Li, who had learned some old stories from Zhang Jie, couldn't help but cheer for Wu Song.

Such a man who knows how to repay kindness is truly a first-class good man in the world!

Shi Shi Wenbin, after learning the details, appreciated Wu Song even more.

After pondering for a while, he spoke slowly:

"How about this, you temporarily serve as the head constable of this county for a period of time.

After you escort Nephew Zhang back from the imperial examination, you will officially take the position of head constable."

Wu Song was a bit stunned upon hearing this.

He didn't expect Shi Shi Wenbin, who was the parent official of hundreds of thousands of people in a county, to be so reasonable.

"Why don't you thank the County Magistrate quickly?"

Zhang Jie reminded him with a smile.

"Thank you, County Magistrate!"

Wu Song, who had come back to his senses, immediately performed a great bow.

"Haha! Getting Warrior Wu is like a fish getting water!"

Shi Shi Wenbin, having achieved his goal, stroked his beard and laughed.

"Like a fish getting water? What, you want to learn from Uncle Liu?"

Zhang Jie slandered Shi Shi Wenbin in his heart.

Next, Shi Shi Wenbin held a grand banquet in the county government to welcome Wu Song, and the host and guests were happy.

At night, Zhang Jie, who had regained his vigor after a day of recovery,

after defeating Pan Jinlian, who had overestimated her ability to provoke him, again and again,

entered the shared space with a satisfied smile.

"Why did you come tonight?

Do you know I've been here alone for several days!"

As soon as Water Shui Hu Zhang Jie entered the shared space, the complaint of Yitian Zhang Jie rang in his ears.

Water Shui Hu Zhang Jie didn't mind, but reached out to Yitian Zhang Jie:

"Come, the thing you want."

"The thing I want?"

Yitian Zhang Jie was dumbfounded for a moment.

Forgive him for still being a bit slow after sharing Water Shui Hu Zhang Jie's brain.

After all, he, who had put all his attribute points into his flesh, had already become accustomed to the slow brain operation speed of the past.

However, the next second, he remembered what he said last time, and a lewd smile appeared on his face:

"So, you and Pan Jinlian have already..." ===== CHAPTER 21 =====
