Song Jiang sighed in his heart, if it weren't for his helplessness, where would he want to leave Yuncheng County, he still hoped to be an official one day.

But the current Yuncheng County is not so much the Yuncheng County of the Great Song Dynasty, but the Yuncheng County of Liangshan, others don't know, he Song Jiang is clear, all kinds of decrees in Yuncheng County are from Liangshan, the county government has become Liangshan's microphone, Liangshan Army and Yuncheng County's officers and soldiers come and go, only half a year, has been all the squires in Yuncheng County who have bad deeds, and there is no big background, I don't know who taught, after the Liangshan Army defeated the village, instead of killing the people, but distributing money and food, The people of the entire Yuncheng County said that Liangshan was good.

Liangshan is good? What a fart! That's a real thief! At that time, Wen Bin was also a waste, and he didn't even dare to let go of a fart under the swords of a few Liangshan warriors, but Liang Shan is now proud because the court doesn't know, once the court knows about it and sends a large army to encircle and suppress it, the little Liang Shan will not be wiped out immediately, and when Wen Bin goes down to a small official like himself, I am afraid that none of them can get out of it. Song Jiang himself trembled with fear every day in bed thinking about these things.

As for denunciating Liangshan, Song Jiang really didn't think about it, not anything else, but he vaguely guessed that Jiang De was the mysterious owner of the village on Liangshan, although he didn't know why Jiang De's good son and grandson didn't sit, why did he come to be the king of the mountain, and he didn't know if Jiang De's approach had anything to do with Cai Jing, but he wasn't afraid of 10,000, just in case, he would take such a big risk if he denounced it, and if he didn't denounce it, he would get Liangshan's favor, of course Song Jiang didn't denounce it.

Although he said that he would not denounce it, Song Jiang still couldn't stand it anymore under the fear of day and night, and decided to leave Yuncheng County, anyway, it is impossible to be an official in Yuncheng County, even if he is to be Liangshan, it is better to try his luck elsewhere.

He said to Song Taigong, "The child doesn't want to leave his father, but a few days ago, Qingzhou arrived in a new prefect, and I heard that the child has some skills, and he wrote to the child to help him, but the child couldn't push it." Song Jiang's words are true, but others don't know how much effort and silver he secretly spent in order to let the new Qingzhou prefect know his name.

Song Qing, who poured tea for Song Taigong next to him, said, "Daddy, San Lang has a good future here, and we should be happy for him." ”

Song Taigong sighed and said, "I didn't know that you had a good future this time, just be careful, if you are short of money, come and inform you, you love to make friends with the heroes of the rivers and lakes outside, I am only worried that you will cause trouble in the future." ”

Song Jiang felt sad in his heart, stepped forward, knelt in front of Song Taigong and said, "Daddy, the child is not filial, and he can't be filial in front of his father, Brother Qing, you must take care of your father, if I make a name for myself in Qingzhou, I will take you over." ”

As he was talking, a doorman came in and reported, "Taigong, two Langjun, someone outside the door asks to see, claiming to be San Lang's old friend, this is the post." ”

Song Jiang stood up and took a look, and said with a sigh, "Brother Chao Gai, why is it here?" How good is that? ”

Song Taigong asked, "Chao Gai?" Could it be that Chao Baozheng from Dongxi Village? How did I hear that he went up to Yangshan? ”

Song Jiang nodded and said, "This is this person, although this person is my friend, but he is also the leader of the Liangshan thieves, if the government takes him in the future, I am afraid that it will harm my father, so I will go outside to meet him and not let him in." ”

Song Qing said, "Brother's move is inappropriate, Chao Gai is a local hero, there are a lot of people who know him, I am afraid that it will provoke outsiders to peep at him when he sees him outside, but he can't say it clearly in the future, it is better to make an appointment with a tavern to isolate others and make it convenient to speak." ”

Song Jiang smiled and said, "Brother Qing is an understanding person, so that's it, Daddy, I'll come when I go." ”

Song Taigong looked at Song Jiang's departing back, sighed, and said to Song Qing, "You, third brother, will definitely cause trouble for my Song family in the future." ”

——

Song Jiang came to the door, saw Chao Gai and others in disguise, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, stepped forward quickly, and said to Chao Gai, "Why is my brother here?" Although no one in Yuncheng County has arrested my brother, my brother is the master of a village after all, and he has sea fishing documents with him, so it is better not to go down the mountain easily. ”

Chao Gai sighed, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, isn't this all disguised, Brother Gongming, I heard the spies on the mountain say that you are going to leave Yuncheng County?" What's going on? Is there something unpleasant? ”

Song Jiang looked around and said, "This is not a place to talk, I went home this time because my father is unwell, and it is not easy to let my brother in, so let's do it, there is a foot shop at the entrance of the village, and there is also a private room in it, but it is a place to talk." ”

Gongsun Sheng squinted his eyes when he heard this, but Chao Gai said, "It's not what I'm waiting for, it turns out that Taigong is unwell, I shouldn't have bothered him, Liu Tang, send the gift in first, let's go to the foot shop to talk." ”

Liu Tang led someone to send a few loads of gifts in, and Chao Gai went to the foot shop with Song Jiang.

The foot shop is those hotels that are not the main store, they are all from a village, seeing Song Jiang bring people to come, the shopkeeper is naturally warm, to the private room, Song Jiang commanded, Chao Gai asked a person to guard outside, to prevent someone from disturbing, then sat down to eat and drink.

Song Jiang told Chao Gai about Song Taigong's words, Chao Gai heard that the prefect valued Song Jiang, and also felt that Song Jiang was also a good future this time, so he seemed to be a little unrighteous when he stopped him, and couldn't help but hesitate.

Gongsun Sheng said at this time, "Supreme Heavenly Venerable, why should Brother Song Jiang be reluctant to seek the near and far, I have also heard of the Qingzhou prefect, although this person is from Jinshi, but he can become a prefect so quickly, relying on his cousin who is a noble person in the palace, and he does not have much ability."

Brother Song Jiang is a hero, wouldn't he bury himself by doing things under such a person? If my brother is willing, I can report to the owner of the village, and ask the owner of the village to give an order, so that my brother can do the county in the name of the main book, and do the county respect, isn't it happier than in Qingzhou? ”

Chao Gai also clapped his hands and said, "Yes, I know my brother's talent, and I am willing to vouch for my brother!" Brother, what do you think? ”

Song Jiang almost jumped up, just to not get involved with Liang Shan, and to be an official for Liang Shan? This strengthened his thoughts, and he said to Chao Gai, "Brother, don't be like this, the owner of the village let your brother stay behind, brother, you must be cautious, don't make mistakes, in case your letter goes up, it will not be good if you break the trust between you and the owner of the village, brother."

This is one of them, and the other is that I have already told Qingzhou that he will take up his post, and now I will not say that I will not go, isn't it not trustworthy? ”

Chao Gai saw that Song Jiang was not moved, and said a few more words, but he had no choice but to leave with Gongsun Sheng and others, and when he left, he also persuaded Song Jiang to think about it again.

After Song Jiang waited for Chao Gai to leave, he immediately went home and told Song Taigong that he would go to Qingzhou immediately.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Song Taigong looked at Song Jiang with a somewhat impatient look and couldn't help asking.

Song Jiang was actually afraid that Chao Gai and others would leave him behind, and he didn't tell the truth to Song Taigong, but said, "When the child came back, I received the news, and Qingzhou was urging the child again, so I had to be anxious." ”

Song Taigong nodded and said, "San Lang is in a hurry for business, and it should be, it's okay, you should be careful." ”

Song Jiang dreamed a lot at night, and at dawn the next day, he took a package and rode a mule and horse to Qingzhou.

- Qingzhou

Qingzhou, is one of the ancient Kyushu, because it is located in the east, and the east belongs to the wood, is green, so the name Qingzhou, since ancient times is the important town of the world.

Qingzhou is located in the Luzhong Mountains and the Lubei Plain junction, so that there are both fertile land, but also a lot of mountains, the peaceful era is just that, as long as there is turmoil, the farmers here are forced to go down the mountain often go up the mountain for the coward.

Song Jiang walked on the road, and suddenly remembered that he still had two apprentices under the White Tiger Mountain in Qingzhou, and he was going to settle in Qingzhou in the future, so he still had to have his own people to help him.

Song Jiang thought about it, so he inquired about the direction and went to Kongjiazhuang in Baihu Mountain.

When I arrived at Kongjiazhuang, before I entered, I saw two teams of people confronting each other, and the middle two people were fighting, one was his apprentice Kong Ming, and the other didn't know who it was.

Song Jiang urged him to step forward, just as Kong Ming knocked the man to the ground, and was about to make a ruthless move, Song Jiang hurriedly shouted, "Kong Ming, stop!" ”

Kong Ming raised his head and looked at it, and found that it was Song Jiang, and said happily, "How did the teacher come?" ”

Song Jiang dismounted and walked into the crowd, picked up the person who was knocked down, and asked Kong Ming, "Who is this?" Why are you fighting? ”

Kong Ming pointed at the man and said, "This guy is opposite Zhuangzi, and if he wants to rob our Zhuangzi's water, we will fight." ”

Song Jiang sighed, turned back to the man and said, "In Xia Yuncheng Song Jiang, this is my scumbag, this stream is the lifeblood of the two villages, why don't you talk to each other, do you have to fight you to the death?" Why don't I make peace today, and this matter will be stopped, and how about a banquet in the future and a good discussion? ”

That person couldn't even beat Kong Ming, and when he looked at Song Jiang, who claimed to be Kong Ming's master, he became even more timid, nodded and said, "It's okay, this matter is over." Let's go! ”

Kong Liang in the back saw that this person still dared to be verbose, and he wanted to fight angrily, but was stopped by Song Jiang, and after those people left, Kong Ming said to Song Jiang, "Master, you have spoken well, such a person should be beaten." ”

Song Jiang blackened his face and said to the two, "The martial arts you learn are also among these rural farmers, how can you compare with the real heroes?" As a teacher, I am afraid that you will get into grievances and cause trouble in the future!

If there is really a grudge, it is possible to do a good man's thing, but do you really commit such a human life behind your back? ”

Kong Ming and Kong Liang didn't speak, they all knew what kind of character Song Jiang was in front of him, who was a good old man to everyone.

Kong Ming asked again, "By the way, isn't Master working as a charge in Yuncheng County?" Why are you here, is it because you have a business trip? ”

Song Jiang shook his head and said, "It's a long story, let's let everyone disperse first." ”

Kong Liang also said, "That is, where is there a reason to let the master speak outside, the master should go inside and talk." ”

Song Jiang smiled and entered the village with the two, worshiped Mrs. Kong, and told the three of them about going to Qingzhou as officials, and the three of them were very happy, especially Mrs. Kong was even more attentive to Song Jiang, and constantly persuaded the Kong Ming brothers to be closer to Song Jiang. Song Jiang was also smiling and silent.

After chatting for a while, Song Jiang asked a few people, "By the way, has it been quiet and peaceful in Qingzhou recently?" ”

It turned out that the Murong prefect recruited Song Jiang to come to Qingzhou, on the one hand, someone was talking, and on the other hand, he heard that Song Jiang and Jianghu Haojie were mostly familiar with each other, and they had a good way. In recent years, there have been many strongmen in Qingzhou, so I hope that Song Jiang can come to Qingzhou to help one or two.

Kong Ming shook his head and said, "Where is it too peaceful, we have a lot of mountains in Qingzhou, and the people here are fierce, and there are often strong people living in the mountains.

A few days ago, what kind of land was done, and the people's lives were even more unbearable, and many people were unable to eat at home because of the corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

Now Qingzhou, it can be said that there are strong people everywhere, what Qingfeng Mountain, Erlong Mountain, Peach Blossom Mountain, there are several messy strongman villages, this is still a well-known cottage, as for those who can't be named, there are even more. ”

Kong Liang also said: "Speaking of which, our two brothers still have some courage, which is why they can protect the village from invading." ”

Song Jiang was overjoyed to hear this, and asked the two of them some details, and suddenly heard a name, and said happily, "If you hadn't talked about it, I would have almost forgotten my brother Hua Rongxian." ”

Kong Ming asked in surprise: "Master also knows Huazhizhai?" ”

Song Jiang nodded and said, "This Hua Rongxian brother is my friend, he participated in passing through Yuncheng County a few years ago, and lived with me for half a month, and there are many letters on weekdays, but in the past six months, there are more things, but there are fewer letters." ”

Song Jiang thought about the past half a year, he was really aggrieved, he was worried and scared every day, and now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Song Jiang lived in Kongjiazhuang for a day, then ran to Qingfeng Village, Hua Rong saw Song Jiang visiting, he was overjoyed, when he knew that Song Jiang would be in Qingzhou in the future, and was very happy, the two ate wine for two days, Hua Rong personally sent Song Jiang to Qingzhou to take office, the prefect of the public saw Hua Rong personally escorted, and thought that it was a big official, and hurriedly entered to report.

Song Jiang looked at this, and also felt extremely embarrassed, and the duke came out after a while and said, "I thought it was some big person, it turned out to be a small official in Yuncheng County, and the prefect is holding a banquet, so let you wait here!" ”

Song Jiang's face stiffened suddenly, and he smiled for a while before he smiled and said, "Since the prefect has something, this should also be the case, so I will wait for a while." ”

Hua Rong looked at it with some indignation and said, "This prefect doesn't know heroes, and a hero like my brother comes to vote, so naturally he should open the four doors, how can he be so rude." ”

Song Jiang smiled and said, "This shows that I, Song Jiang, am not a hero yet...."

Hua Rong shook his head helplessly, accompanied Song Jiang to talk beside him, didn't say a few words, only saw a man come out, looked around and asked, "Who is Hua Rong Hua Zhizhai?" ”
