In about a quarter of an hour, the Tong Wei brothers arrived. The two greeted Song Jiang with each other, so they were not intimate. Li Jun said to Tong Wei and Tong Meng: "Look at who has fresh fish in the village, let them cook it." Then I will invite the Mu family brothers and the Zhang family brothers to come to the meeting. By the way, I will come back with some wine and meat. ”

Tong Wei and Tong Meng brothers strode away.

Li Jun accompanied Song Jiang to talk in the courtyard, but it was July weather at this time, the sun was rising, and the morning breeze was blowing, which was refreshing.

The two talked in the courtyard for a while, and then saw Tong Wei leading two big men to come, carrying a lot of wine and meat in their hands.

Li Jun saw someone coming. smiled: "The brothers of the Mu family are here." ”

Song Jiang heard that the person was the hero of Jieyang Town, so he also stood up and said, "Let's welcome these two brothers." ”

Li Jun saw Song Jiang get up, so he also stood up

Mu Hong came in and saw Li Jun accompanying Song Jiang, walking a little behind Song Jiang, so he saluted and said, "This must be the world-famous Brother Song Gongming." My brother wanted to meet him, but he didn't get to see him. Today, I am fortunate to know my brother, which is enough to comfort my life. ”

Song Jiang also saluted: "I also heard Brother Li Jun say that the two brothers are heroes, and it is also a joy to meet today." ”

He also heard Li Jun say that these two brothers are only Mu Hong. Mu Hong is a hero in Jieyang Town, and even the government respects him for three points. Mu Hong is more than a foot tall, with a big shoulder and a thick waist, a large square face in purple, a high forehead with a prominent and wide forehead, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a black beard with sideburns.

He is proficient in all eighteen weapons, and is especially good at making a large iron pillar with a bucket. A martial art is difficult to meet an opponent within a radius of 100 miles, and it is only about land kung fu. Mu Hong alone can fight a few of them. Although he was born in a rich family, he is good at helping the weak and the poor, he loves to fight and hold grievances, he has to take care of whoever oppresses the people, and he will help whoever is in trouble, and the people around Jieyang Town respect him. Because of his ability to pull out the mountain and his divine power, they all said that he did not stop Mu Hong.

Mu Chun behind Mu Hong is seven or eight points similar to his brother, his face is like a silver basin, his body is like jade, his head is round, his eyes are thin, his eyebrows are single, and his majesty is cold.

Everyone saw the ceremony, Li Jun invited everyone to sit down, and let Tong Wei put away the wine and meat, and while eating, he talked about some things on the rivers and lakes.

At noon, I saw Tong Meng coming back alone.

"I couldn't find Zhang Heng in Xunyangjiang, so I went to Jiangzhou to find Zhang Shunlai, and I heard that I went to Jeju to visit a famous doctor. In vain, let you wait. ”

Song Jiang was inevitably a pity when he heard this, and pretended to say, "I don't want to miss out on the Zhang brothers!" ”

Li Jun said: "It's okay! It's a long time to come! ”

Song Jiang was unwilling, and asked Tong Meng again: "Do you know who the Zhang brothers are sick, and which famous doctor to invite?" ”

Tong Meng replied honestly: "But it's not his brother, but the two old wives!" I don't know the full name of the famous doctor who was invited, but it seems to be surnamed An! ”

Hearing this, Song Jiang's face did not change, but he was jealous in his heart. Jeju's Anxing famous doctor, besides Yangsan Andoquan, which one else!

Mu Hong didn't see Song Jiang's face, and complimented Song Jiang and said: "Brother is pure filial piety, and the Zhang brothers are also average!" ”

Most of what the Mu brothers and Li Jun said were also Liangshan's affairs or Song Jiang's affairs.

Speaking of the water army, Li Jun said: "I heard that the three heroes of the Nguyen clan in Liangshan are very good at their kung fu in the water, and they once took a group of brothers to break the officers and soldiers from the water. My brother has also practiced kung fu in the water since he was a child, but I don't know how it compares to them. ”

Seeing that Li Jun and Tong Wei were both looking at him, Song Jiang said with a smile: "They also grew up by the water, and the fish they caught empty-handed can also lie in the water." But I've seen a few people who are also very good at underwater kung fu. If it touches, it must be a fight. ”

As he spoke, he said tentatively: "Speaking of which, Liangshan has always lacked a leader of the navy, if you brothers are willing to join the gang, you will definitely be able to be a leader of the navy, and each of you will be in charge of five hundred sailors." ”

Tong Meng smiled: "There are so many heroes in Liangshan, why fight for the two of us." If my brother is going, it doesn't hurt us to go together. When my brother doesn't go, we can get by here. ”

Tong Wei nodded and said, "What my brother said is that we can also have some happiness here." Now that my brother is here again, we're going to make one. ”

Song Jiang saw that the two of them didn't care about going to Liangshan, but cared more about themselves, and knew that they might be used in the future.

Li Jun was the backbone of several people, and said on the side: "I also had the heart to vote for Liangshan before, but I couldn't make up my mind. Now Liangshan soldiers are strong and strong, and they are not afraid of being arrested by the imperial court, but they are afraid of recruiting peace. Now the court is dark, and if you recruit peace, you are afraid that you will not end well, so you don't dare to go. ”

Song Jiang was surprised when he heard Li Jun say this, and reluctantly smiled: "Unless the Son of Heaven changes his temperament and drives Cai Jing, Gao Yu and other traitors out of the court, who is willing to recruit An." What's more, Liangshan and Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Xu Ning, Hua Rong and other brothers are enemies of Gao Yu and Cai Jing, and they will not recruit for the sake of these brothers. ”

In Song Jiang's heart, he was willing to recruit An, but he couldn't speak in front of Li Jun.

After gathering at Li Jun's house for two days, Mu Hong invited Song Jiang to his village and stayed for two days.

Song Jiang took the flail again, packed the package and luggage, Li Jun, Mu Hong, and Mu Chun all sent Song Jiang to the riverside, and the brothers Tong Meng and Tong Wei had already taken the boat.

Everyone said goodbye, and Li Jun drove the boat, like a lightning speed.

Song Jiang saw Li Jun's skills, and he loved Li Jun even more. If he has a naval army, it will be easy to deal with Liang Shan, and he is not afraid of the Ruan brothers.

Outside the city of Jiangzhou, Li Jun reluctantly said: "My brother wants to go to Yamen, and it is inconvenient for my younger brother to send it again." In two days, I will visit my brother again. ”

Song Jiang said with a smile: "When we get here, we spend more time together. ”

The two waved goodbye.

The two dukes took Song Jiang to Jiangzhou Mansion, and it was in the Yin Sheng Hall of the Mansion.

This Jiangzhou prefect, surnamed Cai, with a double name and a chapter, is the ninth son of Cai Jing, the Taishi of the current dynasty, so the people of Jiangzhou call him Cai Jiu's prefect. He is corrupt and arrogant for officials. Because this Jiangzhou is a place with a lot of money and food, and there are a lot of people and things, the Taishi specially taught him to be a prefect.

At that time, the two public officials issued an official document in the hall and detained Song Jiang to the hall.

When the prefect of Cai Jiu saw that Song Jiang was unconventional, he asked, "Why did you lose the cover of Benzhou on your flail?" ”

The two dukes said: "The spring rain was drenched on the road, but it was wet with water. ”

The prefect said: "Write a post quickly, and send it to the prison camp outside the city, and the government will send a public servant to escort it down." ”

The two dukes sent Song Jiang to the prison camp to deliver.

At that time, the public of Jiangzhou Mansion received a post, imprisoned Song Jiang and went out of the state with the public to buy wine and eat in the hotel.

Song Jiang has been in the public gate for a long time, and he also knows about the public gate, so he took some silver and gave it to the public of Jiangzhou Mansion, and made a single room to wait.

The duke got the money, and first went to the camp office to say convenience to Song Jiang, handed it over, begged for the management, and went back to Jiangzhou Mansion.

The two dukes of Jeju also returned Song Jiang's parcel luggage, thanked each other for a thousand rewards, and resigned to enter the city.

These two came along the way, and though they were a little frightened, they got a lot of silver, and they rejoiced. I went to the state government to serve, asked for a palindrome, and took the way back to Jeju.

Song Jiang originally brought a lot of gold and silver, and then Chao Gai, Li Jun and others sent a lot, but there was no shortage of silver around him.

After arriving at the prison camp, the central people asked to send them to the single room and sent ten taels of silver to him, and the camp management office doubled the ten taels and personnel, and the people in charge of the camp and the soldiers and people who called them all sent some silver taels to buy tea with them, so no one was not happy with Song Jiang.

Gold and silver opened the way, and naturally saved a hundred kills, and got a light job of copying things.

Song Jiang also moved to the copying room and settled down.

Song Jiang was surrounded by gold and silver wealth, and he loved to make friends with the camp, whether he was in charge of the camp, the messenger or the prisoners in the camp.

During the half-month stay, there was not a single person in the camp who did not like him.

Wu Yong, who became acquainted with Wu Yong later, introduced the Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong, and with him to take care of him, Song Jiang spent most of his time playing in the city. （）
