Chapter 22 Twenty-four: Determine Xiangliangshan

Zhu Gui rented a house in this village, although he had no money in hand, but the rent had not been spent, so he still had to live, which would lead Wang Yong, Han Bolong, Sun Erniang, and Han Xia to his home, and saw that the stove was still there, so he scooped up the rice, and said: "A few of you look like you are all cold and swishing, I will boil some porridge for you to drink first, one to pad the stomach, and the other to warm your body." ”

Wang Yong smiled and said, "Then thank you Brother Zhu!" A few people sat down around the stove, and then Zhu Gui and Han Bolong got a chance to talk, and Han Bolong told all the things about the destruction of the family.

Zhu Gui shook his head when he heard this, and said: "This Xicheng is really harmful, I came here from Yishui, passing by Yangsanbo, Jeju, where the lake was compiled into public land, and the people had to pay taxes for fishing, lingling, and lotus planting. ”

When Wang Yong heard Zhu Gui's words, he frowned slightly, and said, "Did those fishermen recognize it like that?" ”

Zhu Gui shook his head and said: "Where can I admit it, in the normal struggle, but the north side of this Liangshanbo is under the jurisdiction of Yunzhou, and the south side is under the jurisdiction of Jeju. ”

Wang Yong's brows furrowed, he knew that this Cai Juhou and the Liangshanbo peasant uprising were provoked by him, and now that he had taken over, it seemed that the time of the uprising was very close.

Wang Yong pulled Han Bolong and whispered in his ear: "Brother, I heard that this Liangshan has a water surface of 800 miles, and the water surrounds the mountain inward, and the mountain is composed of the four main peaks of Liangshan, Qinglong Mountain, Phoenix Mountain, and Turtle Mountain, as well as Hutou Mountain, Snow Mountain Peak, Hao Mountain Peak, Xiaohuang Mountain and other seven branches, but it is known as a small cave, and it can hide 100,000 soldiers. I still want to contact some heroes on the rivers and lakes, but listening to what Brother Zhu said, it is already a difficult life for the people, but we go there, raise our arms and shout, naturally someone will rise up with us, occupy the mountains and grass, but what does the eldest brother think? ”

Han Bolong said with a smile: "Brother Xian, I don't have any ideas here, everything is up to you." ”

Wang Yong nodded and said, "If the eldest brother says so, then we will wait for Jiayue to settle down, and then we will go to Liangshan." ”

The two of them talked, this porridge was already good, Han Xia served it to a few people, Wang Yong and the four of them walked for a day, although Zhu Gui didn't walk for so long, but he was in the cemetery, digging for a long time, this will be a few people are cold and hungry, and they don't speak, they hold the porridge bowl and drink it, and they have drunk all the porridge, and a few people feel alive again.

Zhu Gui said at this time: "Brother Han, Brother Wang, let's deal with this outhouse for one night, but let the two girls rest inside, what do you think?" ”

Wang Yong arched his hand and said: "This is Brother Zhu's home, so naturally everyone listens to Brother Zhu." As he spoke, he took out two large ingots of twenty-five taels of silver from his baggage, which they had searched from the bodies of those people in the Taiwei Mansion, and put them in front of Zhu Gui.

Zhu Gui hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother Wang, what do you mean by this?" ”

Wang Yong said: "Brother Zhu took the silver first, and the younger brother has something to say." Where is Zhu Gui willing to accept it, he just said: "Brother Wang has any orders, just say it." ”

Wang Yong said that he and Sun Erniang came back to lay the bones, and then said: "The two of us are now in a lawsuit, and there are a bunch of lives in our hands, and there are still our pictures and figures hanging in the city of Chengshi County, there is really no way to bury the old man openly, so I asked the eldest brother to come forward, buy a coffin, and bury the old man. ”

Zhu Gui smiled when he heard this: "Brother Xian really found the right person, I can't do this business, so I will take white things in this village to others, there are really no dead people in this village these days, and I am embarrassed to this point." Don't worry, I'll arrange it, and no one will suspect you. ”

Sun Erniang got up, saluted Zhu Gui, and said, "The concubine body is entrusted to Brother Zhu!" ”

Zhu Gui said weakly: "Don't worry, girl, Zhu Gui will definitely arrange it." ”

At that moment, everyone was in Zhu Gui's house for a night, and the next morning, Zhu Gui went out to Zhang Luo, he was already familiar with all this, and everything was in his hands, but after a morning's work, everything was arranged, and even the filial son was hired, and the Sun family was also arranged, and no one had any opinion on Sun Yuan's burial.

Early in the morning of the third day, the burial was arranged, although Wang Yong and Sun Erniang could not be sent, but they were still wearing filial piety clothes, and they kowtowed to Sun Yuan at Zhu Gui's house, and then knelt and sent out of the house, Sun Erniang cried darkly, if it wasn't for Wang Yong by his side, I was afraid that he would follow Sun Yuan, not necessarily.

In addition, Zhang Qing wandered the rivers and lakes, and Sun Erniang didn't know where his hometown was, so he was buried in the ancestral grave of the Sun family, and he was by Sun Yuan's side.

Everything was done, Zhu Gui arranged to help stay and eat in the courtyard of his house, Wang Yong and the others hid in the house and did not come out.

When it was time to eat, a sister-in-law came in with a curtain of steamed buns and a pot of vegetables, and said with a smile on her face: "This is what Zhu Guanren asked me to send in for a few people." ”

Han Bolong patted his thigh and shouted, "Great, I'm so hungry that my eyes are blue." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to take the steamed buns and vegetables and ate them in a big bite.

The sister-in-law's eyes were rolling on Han Xia's face, Wang Yong didn't look right, so he said, "Is the sister-in-law from this village?" ”

The sister-in-law smiled and said, "I'm from the Lizheng family." Saying that, looking at Han Xia, Wang Yong felt that something was wrong, and reached out to press the handle of the dog-legged knife on his leg, still hesitating whether to kill someone, he would kill someone here again, then Sun Yuan and Zhang Qing would not want to be stable.

Just when Wang Yong hesitated, the sister-in-law suddenly spoke: "Who is this girl from Zhu Guan?" ”

Wang Yong looked at Han Bolong, saw that he was still eating, and knew that he wouldn't lie, so he said, "This is Brother Zhu's niece." ”

When the sister-in-law heard this, her face smiled like a chrysanthemum in full bloom, nodded again and again, and then withdrew.

Sun Erniang said: "This woman is not quite right." ”

Wang Yong also felt uneasy, so he got up and said, "You guys are careful in the house, I'll go out and have a look." After saying that, he tiptoed out with the sister-in-law.

Wang Yong looked at the sister-in-law and arrived outside the grass hall, beckoned inside, and a man walked out and shouted, "Lady, have you seen it clearly?" ”

The sister-in-law smiled and said: "Sure enough, it is a Peugeot little lady, if it is rationed to our family, it is very suitable." ”

The man was also smiling, but then he said with some worry: "But that Zhu Gui has also lived in this village for more than a day, I'm afraid that San Lang is stupid, and he also knows, what if we propose marriage, what if he doesn't agree?" ”

The sister-in-law said confidently: "What are you afraid of, that woman is Zhu Gui's niece, you look at Zhu Gui Zhang Luo's such a big scene, there must be silver money, but he didn't let his niece intervene in it, it's not like giving them money, and he won't pay attention to them if he wants to, and that Zhu Gui is Zhang Luo's work, two days ago when Zhang Luo arrived, I heard that they all went to steal offerings to eat, there is a way to return to the roots, that Zhu Gui suffered outside, how can there be a reason not to want to go home, but this one job, He can't earn money to go home, as long as we promise to provide him with enough coils, he will naturally be able to respond. ”

Wang Yong couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and said in his heart: "These two delusional people really don't need to listen to it anymore." Thinking of this, he got up to leave, and at this time, the man said again: "Yes, if the people in their family don't agree, I will go to the county to report back, saying that they are the gang of Jiangyang thieves who were arrested, and they can't walk if they can go!" ”

As soon as the cold light in Wang Yong's eyes moved, there was murderous intent in his heart, and when the two of them spoke again, their voices were lowered, and Wang Yong stopped listening, so he returned to the house.

As soon as Sun Erniang saw Wang Yong coming in, she said, "What? What about the woman? Han Bolong also said: "Did you recognize us?" ”

Wang Yong shook his head, and told the woman what he had discussed with his husband, Han Bolong's face turned white with anger, and he said coldly: "Lao Tzu will go out in a while and split the two of them alive!" ”

Wang Yong waved his hand and said: "No, they are all people with heads and faces in this village, so they killed them like this, I'm afraid that even if we can go, the one who has just been buried can't go." ”

Han Bolong said angrily: "Then what should I do? Can we swallow this breath? ”

Wang Yong shook his head and said: "No, they have the intention of reporting us, although they think it is a false accusation, but we know that this is the truth, once it is reported to the government, a little investigation, we will be found out." ”

Han Bolong said annoyedly: "That's not good, this is not good, then what do you say?" ”

Wang Yong said: "Don't worry, I have my own way, I thought, I just did a white thing today, and it is impossible for them to mention this matter without taboo, as long as he doesn't say it today, I will send them on the road tonight." ”

Han Bolong trusted Wang Yong very much, so he didn't say anything more.

Everyone ate until the evening, then dispersed, Wang Yong waited until they were gone for a while, then came out, he inquired in advance where the house was, so he sneaked over, first outside with hot urine to wash the frozen soil, and into a pile of urine mud, after arriving at the house, heard that they had already slept, sneaked in and pressed two pieces of wet wood in the brazier, and then used the mud to seal the windows and doors, leaving no cracks, then swaggered back.

When I arrived at Zhu Gui's house, I saw Han Bolong and Zhu Gui sitting in the hall, drinking, and when I saw him come back, Zhu Gui looked at Wang Yong with complicated eyes, Wang Yong saw the clue, and said to Han Bolong: "You told Brother Zhu?" ”

Han Bolong nodded, and Wang Yong pulled a small pestle over, sat down by the brazier, and said, "Brother Zhu, what are your plans next?" ”

Zhu Gui knew that no matter what Wang Yong did, the family here died, so he couldn't stay here, so he sighed lightly and said, "I want to go back to my hometown." ”

Wang Yong took a piece of salt and said, "Brother Zhu, you want to go home, even if this is the entanglement given to you by the younger brother." ”

Zhu Gui was taken aback, and before he was about to excuse himself, Wang Yong waved his hand and said: "You don't have to let it, the little brother has some money, this is nothing, Brother Zhu has helped us a lot, I should thank Brother Zhu." ”

Han Bolong also said: "Brother Zhu, you can take it, he has a lot of money." ”

Zhu Gui took the money and said: "Two, I won't mess with you, Yishui is really poor, the people there, there are many people and little land, and the land is so big that they are all stones, and there is really no way to live, so I have to come out to find something to eat." ”

Wang Yong knew that Yishui was the later Yimeng Mountain, where it was indeed poor, and for a long time, even food and clothing could not be solved, and now at this time, it was much worse than the time before he wore it, and Yishui was even more bitter.

Wang Yong said to Zhu Gui: "Big brother still has to come out when he goes home, if he is willing, go with us first, if possible, it is better to get some gold and silver to go home than to come out again." ”

Zhu Gui is also a person in the green forest, so naturally he will not have any objection to Wang Yong's words, and thought about it: "Where are you going?" ”

Wang Yong and Han Bolong glanced at each other, and then Han Bolong pointed his finger and said, "We are going to Liangshanbo." ”

Zhu Gui was a little stunned and said, "Where are you going to do something?" But he immediately thought of something, and exclaimed, "You ...... You have to ....... He resisted the business and said, "Are you going to fall into the grass?" ”

Wang Yong looked at Zhu Gui appreciatively, and said in his heart: "This person is really clever, otherwise he would not have been hired by Wang Lun as the director of the foreign office without fully joining the gang." He nodded and said: "Yes, Brother Han and I are both carrying human lives on our backs, this ordinary friend can no longer make us safe, as long as we occupy the mountains and grass, this can find a way to survive, and Brother Han and I are not willing to live under others, so we made up our minds to occupy a territory by ourselves and be a leader." ”

Zhu Gui's heart pounded when he heard it, although he was also walking in the green forest, but he didn't set it too much, now Wang Yong and Han Bolong made it clear to him, just to see his attitude, if he pushes three or four times, I'm afraid that these two plague gods will turn their faces, but just like this into the green forest, Zhu Gui is still a little unwilling, his family is still good in Yishui, he has also earned some silver when he comes out, although he has lost it now, but he believes in himself, he can still earn it back, if he is a strong man here, Then there is no way to go back to my hometown.

Wang Yong saw Zhu Gui's thoughts, so he said: "Brother Zhu, I know that you are afraid that we will turn our faces, you just have to rest assured, whether you want to or not, we will not do anything with you, just imagine that even if we let you go to the official, you can't have anything to do with us, then don't you want to add yourself in, since you can't report to the official, then why should we do it to you, anyway, if you go back to Yishui, follow us, you have to go east, we just go all the way, but we go together first, if you get to the ground, you still don't want to go all the way with us, Then you just have to go by yourself, Brother Han and I will never stop you. ”

Zhu Guixin said: "He has talked to such a point, then I can't stop giving him face." Thinking of this, he arched his hand and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Wang." ”

The three of them drank for a while, and then they all fell asleep, Wang Yong slept until the third watch, then got up, and went out to Lizheng's house, this time the mud was frozen, he soaked the mud with boiling water little by little, and then peeled it off, and then went back and slept again.

At noon the next day, someone went to Lizheng's house to do errands, only to find that Lizheng's family was suffocated to death by the smoke in the brazier.

How could the government come to prove that this was not an 'accident', didn't it rush to admit that a murder had happened in his own territory, and when he heard the report of the people, he took it in a daze, and he didn't even send anyone down, and Lizheng's family was a big family, and those clansmen rushed to divide their property, and no one cared how he died, so he was buried in a hurry, and then they quarreled over the money, land, and house, and almost killed people again.

Han Bolong was curious about how Wang Yong got it, but no matter how he asked, Wang Yong refused to say, and in the end Han Bolong had no choice but to give up.

Seven days later, a group of people on the road, to the east, Wang Yong did not go to the book near the Yangsanbo of Jeju Yuncheng line, but towards the Yunzhou capital Shouzhang County, which is close to the north of Liangshanbo, looking at Dongping Lake in the distance, is the widest berth of Liangshanbo, the history records that Yunzhou Zhizhou Cai Juhou designed, the five hundred fishermen who were unemployed and troublesome due to the expansion of Xicheng into Shouzhang County, and killed them in one fell swoop, which provoked the great uprising of the fishermen of Liangshanbo, and this uprising began during the Song Zhenghe and Xuanhe years, It was not until the seventh year of Jin Tianhui and the third year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty that Zhang Rong, a good man of Liangshan, was forced to retreat south to Chuzhou, and was pacified by the Jin people.

There is no way to find out who the first leader of Liangshan is in history, but according to the record of "Water Margin", it is Wang Lun, the 'white-clothed showman', Wang Yong wants to catch Wang Lun's bus and become the patriarch of Liangshan.

Of course, Wang Lun wants to protect this person, let Liangshan belong to Chao Gai in the future, that depends on how Wang Lun is, as for taking Wang Lun, Wang Yong himself to be the master of the mountain, Wang Yong has not thought so much, the reason is that Wang Yong is in the area of Liangshan, there is no hope, and at the beginning of the uprising, the highest requirement is popularity, only by getting the people's recommendation, can become a hero, Wang Yong believes that Wang Lun must have caught up with the time of the storm, this can pull up this team, and he has just arrived, and now he is taking the risk to pull people, It would be more convenient to come back and steal the fruits of the revolution later.

At least at the beginning of the mountain, don't worry, the eyes of the government are on him Wang Yong. The dragon is in the water
