But he said that in the evening of that day, the magistrate sent someone to call Song Jiang to come over. As if there was an urgent matter to order, Song Jiang rushed back to the county office. He didn't know that as early as before, the magistrate of Yuncheng County had obtained the order of the Governor of Jeju, saying that there was a flower stone found from the East China Sea, and the route set would pass through the prefecture and county, and the county was ordered to send officials to escort it all the way, and there must be no mistake.

"It's not just me who suffers, it's someone else's trouble!" Thinking of this, Song Jiang's face was full of sadness, and he nodded and asked, "How many people have heard of Huashigang?"

Song Qing said on the side: "Huashi Gang? If my brother says this, who doesn't know? This kind of disaster that costs people and money has long made people feel annoyed and hated!"

Song Jiang put down his wine glass and said worriedly: "Speaking of such a disaster as this Hua Shigang, it started with Cai Jing. At the beginning, in order to welcome the Shangyi, he took the strange flowers and stones of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the ten ships were a program, and they were transported to Bianliang, Tokyo, and named the Huashi Gang, and entered the official house, so he got great benefits. Since then, it has been out of control, and it has become a disaster for the country. ”

Wang Lun also listened to Xu Guanzhong say that there was a flower and stone gang recently, and he didn't want to meet him, so he listened to Song Jiang attentively.

"Because today's officials are very fond of strange flowers and stones, those official eunuchs in the court have seen the subtleties, and they are up and down. Hangzhou Construction Bureau, Suzhou should be the Bureau, do not do serious things, just to collect strange flowers and trees, rugged and beautiful stones. This matter is not only prevalent in the south, but now it is passing through Jeju! ”

This Hua Shi Gang Chao Gai had also heard it, and sneered: "Where is the north, south, west and east? Those dog officials have the face to please them, but they have hollowed out their minds! These traitors, searching for stones and trees, have a fancy to them, no matter how big or small, regardless of height or short, whether they are in dangerous mountains and ravines, or hidden in the deep torrents, they do everything possible to carry them!"

"They are strange stones, don't say that digging mountains and shoveling forests, that is, breaking houses and walls, trampling fields and destroying tombs, they also don't care! I have heard that if anyone has something elegant, even if it is only a wood and a stone, a flower and a grass for enjoyment, he will send someone to seal it with yellow paper and paste it into something for the official family. If you are slightly dissatisfied, you will be dealt with as a big crime!"

At this time, Song Jiang said again: "What is even more hateful is that some bad officials and soldiers took the opportunity to extort and blackmail, and did no less than a thousand times. If one of the people who are not careful, they will go bankrupt, sell their children and daughters, and flee everywhere. ”

When he said this, Song Jiang casually looked at Wang Lun, as if he intended to distinguish himself from other officials. "The little brother often sighs, because of this flower and stone gang, the people of the world are resentful, the people are not happy, and the poisonous state and county are very bad!"

At this time, Chao Gai heard the words and asked, "Brother Xian, weren't you sent to escort this Hua Shigang?"

Song Jiang covered his face with one hand and said ashamedly: "Brother Chao is right, the county magistrate sent me to do it, it is this matter, I am really ashamed to mention it now!"

Chao Gai couldn't help but say, "How can you do such an errand that provokes resentment?" Song Qing also looked at Song Jiang and looked at his expression, all of which meant so.

"Hey...... If I hadn't gone, I would have changed to someone else, and I was afraid that someone would be in trouble! Song Jiang sighed again.

After hearing these words, Chao Gai admired Song Jiang even more, such a person who stepped forward and was anxious for people's difficulties, and his true husband was also!

At the wine table, Wang Lun didn't say a word, although he didn't judge people by his appearance, but he had a prejudice against Song Jiang, and he didn't believe a word. As for why he came to see Song Jiang, it's just because of the celebrity effect, I just want to see it!

Song Jiang still wanted to speak, but the entourage outside came to urge. "Oshiji! Huashigang is almost outside the city! ”

The county order wanted to accompany Qin Cha, but the order in the city had to be maintained by Song Jiang, so he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly got up. "Brother Chao! King...... Brother Wang! I can't accompany him more, and I'll entertain Song when he comes back! ”

Saying that, Song Jiang said to Song Qing again: "Shiro! Say hello to my brothers! ”

Wang Lun looked at the back of Song Jiang leaving, and laughed in his heart! is so keen on the affairs of the court, but what do you still say!

But it is said that the people of Yuncheng Huashigang are so vigorous. But see:

One guard of honor and two columns of guards. The flag is swaggering, and now it is embroidered in seven colors; Gongs and drums are beaten, and five music sounds are heard. The noise and noise began to be heard, and the noisy and noisy screams were transmitted. Solve the difference and scold, ruthlessly raise the water and fire sticks; The soldiers scolded, and Leng Sen's punishment whip was thrown violently. The servants dragged the coolies, and the villagers pushed hard.

There were many officials accompanying him, most of them wearing green and green, and there were also a few scarlet and blue clothes, and these crowds of people generally surrounded the two of them, and they were very attentive. The two leaders are on a bad trip, and they are very beautiful.

These two people, one surnamed Tang Mingke, are enshadowed. The official family saw that he had some talent and learning, and was promoted to a living housekeeper; The other is even more remarkable, he is the son of Taishi Cai's family, who was favored by the official family and given to the Jinshi background, and now he is a privy counselor.

In the southeast, there is a huge stone in the East China Sea, the color is purple, the shape is like a steaming cloud, it is very strange. I took the trouble to find it, and sent someone to report it to the magistrate's house urgently. When today's son was overjoyed, the royal pen wrote "Purple Qi Zhaorui Stone from the East", and ordered the state capital to escort Ruishi to Bianjing along the way.

Even if it is Ruishi, it has to be sealed by the official family, so I dare not ignore it. Tear down the wall and pave the road, practice the field and expand the road, just to protect the stone. Along the way, people passed through several townships and villages, eating, drinking, and many things, and they also ordered the localities to do it, and the state capital did not dare to slack off, and the people were complaining.

Not to mention, those accompanying officials, the sage's articles have been read for several years, and they can also make some poems in praise of virtue. Since this trip is to share the worries of the officials, there will be some boastful remarks, and it is inevitable that they will seek some floating profits. Seeing that there are some calligraphy and painting elegant things, I want to bring them to play. It's just that the words are twisted and turned, and if you meet a stupid person, you have to think about it a lot.

When it comes to this kind of ability, it still belongs to the accompanying soldiers. The officials are self-conscious, and they are as good as the soldiers. If you like something, you will open your mouth directly, and if you have a mind, you will say that this thing should be owned by the official, which one dares not to give it; The straight-hearted one said that he did errands for the official family, and he didn't deserve some hard-earned money, so he asked for it. If you don't like him, eat a good meal.

Grab and grab it, and still on the road. Those who have benefited will be happy and smiling, and those who are slow will inevitably get angry. Left and right are either colleagues or officials, and it is not easy to offend, so they sprinkle their anger on the servants and villagers.

This errand officer of Yuncheng County, Tang Niu'er, who usually helps Song Jiang, is also there, but somehow annoyed the adults in the capital and was chased and beaten by several military soldiers.

When Song Jiang arrived, he happened to meet. couldn't touch his face, so Song Jiang stepped forward and said righteously: "How did these idlers offend the military master and be beaten so badly!" ”

Those military warriors, seeing that Song Jiang was dressed as a civilian official, did not dare to be presumptuous.

Cai You's steward, his eyes were above the top, and when he saw Song Jiang coming out, he said: "This guy smells of sweat and knocks over Qincha's cleansing water, but he shouldn't be beaten!" ”

Tang Niu'er offended the official, he was afraid, and he was grateful to see Song Jiang for coming forward. "Oshi, let's fight! It doesn't hurt! But he was afraid that if he was not beaten, he would not be secretly thrown into the water.

Cai You and Tang Ke saw that Song Jiang looked extraordinary, and he was only a noble official of the state capital, so they asked with a smile: "Dare to ask where this adult is?" ”

Song Jiang saw that the two messengers actually inquired about him, first he was happy, and then pretended to be fine. "Don't dare to hide from each other, villain Song Jiang is just the first place in Yuncheng County!"

"Uh...... Song Gongming, what kind of garlic are you putting here! "Yuncheng County ordered Song Jiang to be nosy and reprimanded.
