In an alley behind the Pipa Pavilion Tavern in Jiangzhou City, Song Laohan and his wife have been sleeping and eating for the past few days, and they are worried to death.

A few days ago, his daughter Song Yulian was sentenced to Huang Wenbingqiang and asked him to sing in the courtyard in Jiangzhou, but he never returned, which made him anxious.

Let's say that in the morning of this day, when the old couple was sighing, they saw two men coming in from outside the door.

"Is this Song Laohan's home?" I saw an older man asking.

"Yes."

Song Laojiang looked at the two strangers and replied hesitantly.

"We are Zhang Shun's brothers, and now he is in prison, and I will ask your daughter about it for him."

"I can't see my daughter myself, but I went there to inquire." Old Song leaned over and said sadly.

"Where did your daughter go?"

The young man's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked hurriedly.

"The two of them are Zhang Shun's friends, and the old man is inconvenient to hide from you, so on the second day after Zhang Shun was arrested, Huang Tong sentenced him to come to the house and forcibly take people away, and he has not returned yet.

"There is still something to do, and this wasp sting is also vicious." The older man said fiercely.

"Uncle, do you know where to take it?" The young man asked.

"It's in the courtyard of Huang Tongju."

"Since there is nothing to ask, we will leave, your daughter will come home in the near future, you can rest assured."

The young man comforted Song Laohan, and the two went.

The two men in Song Laohan's family are Gu Haotian and Li Jun, last night in Jieyang Town, Mu's house, after a few people discussed, Gu Haotian and a few people sailed to Jiangzhou early in the morning. After Li Jun went ashore to explore the residence of Song Laohan, the two of them looked for it.

After coming out at this time, the two came to the Pipa Pavilion Tavern, which was named after the great poet Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty who wrote "Pipa Xing", and was a famous scenic spot in Jiangzhou. I saw that the pavilion was facing the Xunyang River on one side and next to the tavern, and there were also several small wine tables in it.

Li Jun led Gu Haotian to sit in a position in the pavilion, asked the guy to order some wine and food, and said:

"We drank in the tavern here that day, and the dispute between the Zhang Shun brothers and Huang Wenbing's house also happened here. This 'wasp sting' is really hateful, and I really didn't let go of this weak woman, but I don't know where to start with the salvation of Brother Zhang Shun that the little official said, only in this woman. ”

"I thought that Huang Wenbing's forcible occupation of this woman must be to buy Cai Jiu, and from Song Laohan's words, this Cai Governor's Mansion has not met with this Song Yulian yet, I think he will come over, let's keep an eye on that courtyard, as long as Cai Jiu can be controlled there, it will not be a problem for the Zhang Shun brothers to get out."

After listening to Gu Haotian's words, Li Jun thought about it carefully, and felt that it was really feasible, and couldn't help but be overjoyed:

"The petty officials are clever, and a few of us and others are only brainless in how to rob people, and we never thought of being clever here, so we all listen to the petty officials, who to use and how to dispatch just the orders."

"There is another case, whether it is robbing the law field or robbing Cai Jiu, you will definitely be exposed afterwards, and the Jiangzhou government will definitely refuse to give up, and think about the way back before you can boldly start."

"I drank and talked with the little seven brothers last night, and the Liangshan Manor of the little officials who listened to it is now very strong, and there are even more heroes and heroes in it, and the people are happy to live and work, if I wait for the past, I don't know if the little officials are willing to take them in."

It turned out that when Ruan Xiaoqi was drinking last night, he had a speculative conversation with Li Jun, and learned that Li Jun and a group of Jiangzhou heroes were all good hands in the water, so he thought that the naval army in Liangshan Manor was the weakest now, so he thought carefully and talked about the benefits of Liangshan. Li Jun was also moved when he heard it, and now Gu Haotian, who suddenly heard it, asked him to arrange a way out, and blurted out what he thought.

It is said that Gu Haotian came to Jiangzhou to actually move this thought, but he didn't expect Ruan Xiaoqi to do the work in front of him, but he didn't have to worry about anything. Immediately replied:

"If the brothers and others come to the manor, I will naturally be overjoyed, but this matter is not Brother Li alone, there are many involved, and everyone listens to everyone's opinions and makes a steady arrangement as soon as possible."

"Please rest assured that when the congregation comes to meet, I should have no objection to mentioning it again."

After the two of them finished talking, they looked at Jiang Jing and gossip, just waiting for the rest of the people to come over and meet. However, before a moment, I heard a burst of noise from the riverside, and when I looked at it, I saw two men entangled in one place.

"Isn't that Brother Ruan Xiaoqi and Brother Zhang Heng? How did it get into a mess? ”

Li Jun took a closer look and was surprised. Gu Haotian also recognized Ruan Xiaoqi a long time ago, but he couldn't imagine that the other person was Zhang Heng, he had been wondering that Zhang Shun was in trouble since last night, everyone was thinking of a way, why didn't his own brother appear, but he didn't expect to appear in such a way.

"Let's go and see!"

Gu Haotian said, and Li Jun walked quickly to the river, but when they arrived, the two had already entered the river from the shore. I saw that the two of them were like a pair of dragons, one would sink into the water, one would surface the other, and between the swings of their fists and feet, the waves and splashes on the river surface would be stirred, and the onlookers on the shore were amazed.

"I can't imagine that the little seven brothers are so clever on the water, and the Zhang Heng brothers are known as boat guys, and they can't take advantage of it!"

Li Jun was originally worried that Ruan Xiaoqi would suffer, but he would see that he was not inferior, but he forgot to stop it. It was only at Gu Haotian's signal that he opened his mouth to stop the two.

The two climbed ashore wet, and Zhang Heng opened his mouth and asked Li Jun:

"What did my brother call me to come up to? Disturbed the good spirit. ”

"Brother, you are reckless, but these two are the Gu Haotian petty officials and Ruan Xiaoqi brothers that Brother Zhang Shun used to mention, how did you fight so much."

"This is it?" Zhang Heng looked at Gu Haotian with wide eyes and asked in surprise.

"It's not who he is!"

Zhang Hengjian said, immediately knelt down, and even said that he should die.

Later, when he was about to apologize to Ruan Xiaoqi, he was supported by him, and said with a smile that the two had been intimate for a long time, so there was no need to be polite.

"I can't imagine that this Ruan brother is so good at water kung fu, I can't help but soak in this river."

"Brother Zhang Heng is also an extraordinary water skill, fortunately, I have also soaked in the 800-mile water pool for more than 20 years, otherwise I would have become fish food in this Xunyang River today."

Ruan Xiaoqi saw that Zhang Heng was upright, and he also joked, and several people couldn't help laughing when they heard it.

Anyway, these two people happened to get together by the river, but because Zhang Heng got the news of Li Jun last night, he went to the Pipa Pavilion Tavern today to discuss with everyone about saving people, thinking that the ancient officials and his party came from afar.

I was very grateful for my brother's work. I came to the river early in the morning and wanted to buy a few good fish, so I would drink it. That Ruan Xiaoqi grew up in Shuibo since he was a child, and he was very close to the river, and he also went to the riverside to play in the morning. It happened that the two of them were in a big golden carp at the same time, and they didn't give in to each other, and they fought without saying a word.

Li Jun listened to Zhang Heng's explanation and said with a smile that there was no need to grab this fish, so he quickly stewed it and everyone tried it together.

The four of them laughed and talked and returned to the Pipa Pavilion to sit. Zhang Heng heard Li Jun say Gu Haotian's plan, remembered his sincerity, got up and bowed and thanked him. After sitting for a while, I saw that Mu Hong, Mu Chun brothers, Tong Wei and Tong Meng brothers arrived, and there was a strange man in his early thirties, Li Jun introduced that it was Li Li, the urging judge of Jieyangling.

Everyone sat down, and Li Jun said the plan to keep an eye on the Huang family's courtyard and kidnap Cai Jiu for Zhang Shun, and those people applauded loudly when they heard it. Immediately Li Jun said again, after this incident, everyone in Jiangzhou will not feel at ease, he has found a good way out for everyone, that is, to go to Liangshan Manor to seek refuge in the petty officials, if everyone has no objection, they will follow this discussion, and if there is another way out, they will not be reluctant.

"There is a good place to go, there is still something that I am not happy about, and it is a hundred times stronger than my trade in this river, hurry up and rescue my brothers, and everyone will go together."

As soon as Li Jun finished speaking, Zhang Heng shouted, his two brothers only have an old lady, and they wish they had a place to live.

"I do business in Jieyangling, and I often hear friends from the rivers and lakes say that the various righteous deeds of petty officials have long been yearning, and I am willing to go today when I have this opportunity." Li Li, the urging judge, also immediately opened his mouth to express his position, he and Li Jun are both the first tyrants of Jieyangling, so they naturally think that he is the first to look forward, as for the Tong brothers, they were originally Li Jun's followers, not to mention.

However, Mu Hong and Mu Chun were a little hesitant, their family had a big business, and they were also quite powerful in the local area, even the government also gave him three points, so he gave up for a while, and he couldn't help but be a little unwilling.

And everyone's demeanor, Gu Haotian saw it in his eyes one by one, when he came to Jiangzhou, what he cared about the most was Zhang Shun and Li Jun, who were masters on the water, and there was really no shortage of people with the strength of the Mu family brothers, and to be honest, he didn't care. So he spoke:

"Rescuing the Zhang Shun brothers, it just needs two groups of light and dark manpower, the bright robbery, the dark response, the Mu Hong brothers' family is very high, and it is easy to expose things on the bright side, but it is not beautiful, and then the secret response is."

And when Mu Hong was in a dilemma, he heard Gu Haotian say something, and just set a step for him to regress, which secretly matched his thoughts, thinking that this little official, if he was a sensible person, had fulfilled his friendship with his brothers, and couldn't help but glance at him gratefully, and he also pushed the boat down.

At that moment, Gu Haotian asked Ruan Xiaoqi to summon Bian Xiang, Shi Qian and others, so he subdivided various tasks in the Pipa Pavilion, let Tong Wei and Tong Meng lead people to stare at Huang Wenbing's courtyard, and let Shi Qian sneak into the government to find out the news, Li Li went to Wuwei Army to find out the details of the Huang family, Zhang Heng and Ruan Xiaoqi arranged the boats and the retreat by the river, Li Jun was responsible for the transfer of each family to Liangshan first, and the Mu brothers responded in Jieyang Town.

After agreeing on everything, Gu Haotian thought of one thing again, so he asked everyone if they had any acquaintances in the prison cell of the government office, otherwise they were afraid that Zhang Shun would suffer in prison. Mu Hong immediately replied that he had a relationship with Dai Zong, the section level of the government office, and he could dredge one or two. Gu Haotian also suddenly thought of this person at this time, isn't this the famous Shenxing Taibao in "Water Margin"? It turned out that when Song Jiang was serving his sentence in Jiangzhou, he was looking for this person, and he forgot about him, but since Mu Hongyou had the best friendship with him, Zhang Shun's safety was another guarantee.

At noon that day, everyone had a drink at the Pipa Pavilion Tavern, and then went separately.
