- Bianjing

"In this way, the people of Liangshan are not really recruiting?"

Cai Jing asked while observing the beautiful scenery of the tea leaves in his hand floating with the ups and downs of the tea.

"Jiang Xinzhi has made it clear that he will not come to Bianjing to see you, Taishi, this matter is big or small."

Cai Jing's subordinates naturally also have cronies, and the person who spoke in front of him was Cai Jing's henchman, named Deng Xunwu, who was from Chengdu.

"How big? How small? Cai Jing continued to ask as if he didn't understand.

"Hehe, the Taishi is taking the exam, this Liu Zhengfu and others are bent on exterminating Liangshan, and Taishi and Jiang Weilang said that they want to appease, if this Liangshan is not really appeased, wouldn't it be a big deal?" Deng Xunwu said with a smile: "What's more, the official family has been talking about the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan for the past few days." ”

"Hey!" Cai Jing put the teacup aside and said, "For the minister, for the king, for the king, the official family does not want chaos in the country, then don't have chaos, the official family hopes that the world is peaceful, then we will let him be peaceful, the official family wants to repair the new garden, we will find a way to find money to repair it." ”

Saying that, Cai Jing stood up slowly and said, "In this world, in the final analysis, it is the official family, think about what the official family thinks, and be anxious about what the official family is anxious about, this is a good courtier, Lord Deng, do you say yes?" ”

Deng Xunwu clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Taishi is high!" Please rest assured, there will be no gibberish to disturb the interest of the officials. ”

Waiting for Deng Xunwu to leave, Cai Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and a person walked out next to him, and said to Cai Jing, "Daddy, is Jiang Zijun really colluding with Liang Shan?" ”

Cai Jing snorted, "I can't think of any other reason, but why did this Jiang Zijun collude with the bandits, the old man can't figure it out..."

Cai Jing didn't think that Jiang De might have a heart of disobedience, but such a thought was dispelled by him just for a moment, no way, the environment determines thinking, there were no courtiers to rebel in the hundred years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, Cai Jing could only secretly guard against Jiang De in his heart.

But precautions are precautions, Jiang De's gift is still received, and Zhao Ji's Genyue sand table model has been slowly finalized, Cai Jing began to prepare to find a way to collect money to fulfill Zhao Ji's wish.

- Yunzhou

As one of the state capitals closest to Liangshan, the original prefect found a way to leave after recruiting an an, and the new prefect was Cai Jing's protégé named Chen Wenzhao.

Although Chen Wenzhao worshiped under Cai Jingmen, he also wanted to do something in Yunzhou, and on this day, he received a case file from the county government of Yanggu County, but the content of the case file was a major case with several lives.

Chen Wenzhao looked at the big man standing under the hall, and couldn't help nodding, this big man was eight feet long, dignified, his bare arms seemed to have ten thousand catties of strength, and the bulging muscles made Chen Wenzhao a little envious.

"You're Wu Song?" Chen Wenzhao asked.

The big man below nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”

"You turned out to be the head of Yanggu County, why did you want to kill people when you knew my Great Song Law? Why didn't you run away after the killing, but turned yourself in? Could it be that there is some reason? Chen Wenzhao asked gently.

Wu Song raised his head and said, "Please listen to the truth, I and my brother Wu Dalang depend on each other, my brother married a wife, named Pan Jinlian, this guy is debauched by nature, and Yanggu County rich Ximen Qing hooked up into a traitor, these two people also took advantage of my absence, poisoned my brother, as the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, these two people killed my brother, that is, there is a common hatred, so kill him!" ”

When Chen Wenzhao heard this, he also felt that Wu Song was a lover, and he felt that this matter was excusable, and wanted to let him go, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a noise outside, and said, "What's the noise?" Come on, go out and have a look! ”

After a while, the people who went out hurriedly ran in and said to Chen Wenzhao, "Master Xianggong, Master Jiang has sent someone from Yunzhou Jiedu, and he is waiting outside." ”

When Chen Wenzhao heard this, he said disdainfully, "It's just a pawn of the Jiedu envoy, let him wait!" ”

As soon as he heard him say this, the master next to him hurriedly ran to his side and said to Dutou, "Wait! Then he said to Chen Wenzhao, "Xianggong, the Yunzhou Jiedu envoy is not someone else, but the original owner of Liangshan, with tens of thousands of strong soldiers, the court has nothing to do with him, and Yunzhou doesn't know how many people have received Liangshan's favor, I don't know how many officials have dealings with Liangshan, if Xianggong hates them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold here in the future." ”

Chen Wenzhao also studied since he was a child, and he was an official in the imperial examination, so he naturally looked down on the thieves who recruited An, in his eyes, these are the scourges, since he was recruited, he should do things honestly, and if he is not honest, he should get rid of them.

He snorted, "If these people in Liangshan are honest, if they are not honest, the official will go to the Taishi and the official family, and he will have to send a large army and sweep away these thieves!" ”

The master hurriedly covered Chen Wenzhao's mouth, and then glared at the people around him, and the officials around him all lowered their heads, and they didn't hear anything.

Chen Wenzhao pulled away his master's hand and said, "What are you doing here?" Isn't it my prefect who can't talk about them? ”

The master sighed and said, "My eldest lord, think about it, how much effort did the imperial court take to recruit Liangshan, and it was the strength of the Taishi and Jiang Weilang together to bring about this matter, and the people who want to come to Liangshan also remember the Taishi's good, if you and Liangshan have a bad relationship, when the time comes, Liangshan will rebel again, and the Taishi should be more passive." ”

This is reasonable, Chen Wenzhao's eyes rolled, nodded and said, "That's it, let him in." ”

The master was still not at ease, so he went out with the head just now, and came in with a person wearing a sergeant's clothes, and the sergeant bowed to Chen Wenzhao, handed over a letter and said, "Liangshan Shixiu has seen Lord Chen, this is the letter of the owner of our village, please read it." ”

Chen Wenzhao was a little displeased in his heart, but he still asked the master to hand over the letter, he looked at it, looked at Wu Song with a strange expression, and then looked at Shi Xiu and asked, "The matter of Wudutou, you Liangshan also know?" ”

Wu Song was stunned, what? This person from Liangshan came here for himself, but he has nothing to do with Liangshan, could it be that he was invited by Chai Daguan?

Shi Xiu said hehe, "We Liangshan love heroes the most, Wudu head Jingyanggang fights tigers, avenge my brother, we all know, my village owner said, Wudu head is a hero, and he is also a hero, that Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing killed Wu Dalang, Wudu head avenged his brother, it is understandable, of course, this is two lives after all, but I hope that the prefect will see that there is a reason for the incident and my village owner, spare his death crime, and my village owner will be grateful!" ”

Chen Wenzhao thought about it, he didn't want to kill Wu Song in the first place, since this Liang cottage master interceded, why not be a favor? He said, "Wu Song's murder case, this official has long known the original situation, although Wu Song is revenge for his brother, and he killed Ximen Qing's traitorous wife, he also surrendered himself, and it is difficult to release. Forty spine staffs, thorns with Liangshan. ”

Shi Xiu bowed again, "My lord, this Wu Song's body is weak, I'm afraid he can't beat it, please save this spine stick." ”

Chen Wenzhao glared at Shi Xiu, is he still weak? This is a tiger hero! If he is weak, then I will not be paralyzed.

But one sheep is also driven, and two sheep are also released, Chen Wenzhao waved his hand and said, "Since this is the case, let's hit ten rods, okay, let's go down!" ”

Shi Xiu also knew that this was Chen Wenzhao's bottom line, no longer spoke, just bowed to Wu Song, and then retreated, those officials all saw it in their eyes, knowing that this Wu Song was a person valued by Liangshan, and he didn't dare to be ruthless.

Wu Song was tattooed with a golden seal and pressed to Liangshan by the officials, Shi Xiu had been following beside him, Wu Song took the time to ask, "Brother Shi Xiu, thank you for your help this time, but I have no contact with you Liangshan, is it because the Chai officials entrusted you to come?" ”

Shi Xiu carried a spear and said as he walked, "The Chai official you said is Chai Jin of Cangzhou Mansion, but my owner has nothing to do with him, this time it was my owner who heard about your reputation and thought you were a good man, so he specially sent me to rescue." ”

Wu Song nodded, and then he didn't talk about this anymore, but kept talking with Shi Xiu about what he had seen and heard on the rivers and lakes, and the officials next to him also listened interestingly, and walked quickly all the way, and arrived at Liangshan in a few days.

Since he arrived in Liangshan, the officials of Yunzhou Mansion had no reason to stay any longer, untied Wu Song's shackles and left, Shi Xiu took Wu Song all the way to Liangshan, Wu Song looked at the thriving atmosphere on Liangshan, and was also amazed, when he arrived at the Juyi Hall, Shi Xiu asked someone, only to know that Jiang De went to the Golden Beach, so he took Wu Song to the Golden Beach to find Jiang De.

Outside the golden beach, dozens of large ships were loading goods, and Jiang De, Chao Gai and others were gathering together, looking at the water and talking.

"This Brother Zhang Shun is too powerful, the time has passed for this incense, and he hasn't gotten up yet?" Niu Gao also felt that he had seen a lot of knowledge over the years, but he had never seen anyone who would hold his breath like this.

He looked at Gongsun Sheng and asked, "Dao Chief, does this Brother Zhang Shun also know your Dao skills, otherwise how can he be so powerful?" ”

Standing next to Jiang De, a woman said to Jiang De, "The owner of the village, this Zhang Shun brother is said to be able to swim in the water for seven days and seven nights, swimming forty or fifty miles, originally in Jiangzhou Jieyang area to do fish tooth business, I led people to recruit sailors when he was blocked, my family several nursing homes are fighting him, but also said to recruit people can, but can only go to Liangshan." ”

Saying that, everyone couldn't help laughing, Wu Di continued, "I saw that he admired Liangshan so much, so I invited him to come to Liangshan together, and when he heard that we were recruiting people for Liangshan, he immediately took his subordinates to join, and invited a lot of friends." ”

Jiang De saw Zhang Shun, who was still holding his breath, and only felt that his three views had been refreshed, is this really a human being? Seven days and seven nights are probably bragging, but now that a stick of incense has passed, I am still holding my breath, which is more than the Guinness record of later generations.

Jiang De said to the woman, "Sister Wu Di, this Zhang Shun is really good, those people are Zhang Shun's friends, I don't know who they are?" ”

Wu Di continued to introduce, "Those people are Zhang Shun's fellow villagers, they were all invited by Zhang Shun, the two rich people dressed as Mu Hong and Mu Chun, originally a local tyrant, I heard that they were going to Liangshan, so they sold all their family wealth, and came with Zhuang Ke, the three fishermen dressed as Li Jun, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng, turned out to be illegal salt dealers, and took dozens of subordinates to the mountain together. ”

Jiang De nodded, and at this time, Zhang Shun was also called up, and stepped forward with the other five people, looking at Jiang De with a mask, he only felt a little nervous.

Jiang De asked, "Are you all really into my Liangshan?" ”

Mu Hong was the first to say, "We have long heard the name of the heroes of Liangshan in Jiangzhou, and we often admire it in our hearts. ”

Several other people also said yes, Zhu Wu said, "My Liangshan military discipline is strict, but it is not as good as the rivers and lakes, if you want to enter my Liangshan, you must abide by the rules, otherwise the military law is ruthless, it is not a joke." ”

Zhang Shun arched his hand and said, "We just know that the Liangshan army is strict in discipline and loves the people like a son, so we want to come and defect, if it is the same as the imperial court officials, then it is better to be happy in the rivers and lakes." ”

Jiang De suddenly said, "Zhang Shun, I heard that you have a brother named Chuanhuo'er Zhang Heng, why didn't he come?" ”

Zhang Shun smiled at first and said, "I didn't expect our brother's reputation to reach my brother's ears, my brother heard that Liangshan's military discipline was very strict, and he felt that he was still happy in the rivers and lakes, so he didn't come here." ”

"Congratulations to the owner of the village, and I have received Haojie!" Jiang De heard someone next to him congratulating, raised his eyes, and said with a smile, "As far as you can speak, come, introduce, this is Brother Shixiu, this..."

Jiang De looked at the big man behind Shi Xiu, and asked with some uncertainty, "But fight Tiger Wu Song?" ”

Wu Song had heard Shi Xiu talk about Jiang De's dress as early as the road, and immediately bowed, "Qinghe Wu Song has seen the owner of the village!" ”

"Wow, I miss you to death, speaking of which, you are still half of my senior brother." Jiang De helped Wu Song up and said with a smile.

Wu Song asked strangely, "Half a senior brother?" I don't know who the master of the village is? ”

Jiang De took off his mask and said, "My master is Zhou Tong, do you remember that you are a mandarin duck serial step?" ”

"Zhou Tong? It turned out that the old man was Zhou Daxia! Wu Song suddenly realized and said, "I am blessed, I have only studied with the master for less than a month, and the master didn't even tell me the name." ”

Zhang Shun and the others were shocked when they saw Jiang De so young, and then they saw that Jiang De valued Wu Song a lot, and they were also a little unhappy in their hearts.

Among the several people, Mu Hong had the most temper, and he snorted, "That's probably because Brother Wu Song doesn't have any qualifications, so he won't teach." ”

Wu Song frowned, Jiang De saw Mu Hong's provocation, first, he wanted to give these people who were originally bullies a little bit of power, and secondly, he also wanted to see Ma Xia Wu Song's ability, so he said, "It seems that Brother Mu Hong is a little unconvinced, all the brothers are here to vote for me Liangshan today, it is better to have a competition, to see who has the best skills, the winner will be the head of the right group, and the defeated will be the head of the right battalion, how about it?" ”

Mu Hong said: "Okay! I don't know if the Wu Song brothers dare to fight! ”

Wu Song smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just that I've been going all the way, and I don't know if the owner of the village can enjoy a bowl of wine to drink?" ”

Shi Xiu was worried that Wu Song would suffer, and said, "Brother Wu Song, it's not too late for you to drink after the fight." ”

"Hey! Brother Wu Song can drink it if you want to, I still have the wine in Liangshan, come on, bring a jar of Qiong wine! Jiang De knew that Wu Song would be more powerful after drinking, not only did he not dissuade him, but instead asked someone to take the wine, Xu Guanzhong and others looked at Jiang De like this, they were a little thoughtful, you know, in Liangshan, it is generally forbidden to drink, especially Qiong wine, this is mainly for fear of drinking and making mistakes.
