"Brother, since Liang Shijie of the Daimyo Mansion forgets his righteousness, he suffers from the benefits of Zengtou City, and he does not miss the old feelings, and he connives those birds to attack our Xiao family. The birthday compendium he sends to Bianjing every year is indeed mostly ill-gotten gains. But do we still have to contribute to the dog officer and escort the birthday gang? ”

Shi Xiu's face in the hall showed an angry expression, and he said coldly to Xiao Tang, Yang Lin and the others.

The reason why Yang Lin went to the Zhuang Yuan where Xiao Tang was located in the Yu family of the Daimyo Mansion was to discuss secretly was that the time for the Birthday Gang to be escorted by Liang Shijie to Bianliang, Tokyo through the Xiao Family's Dart Line was approaching every year, but Xiao Tang and his henchmen could expect that this year's escort of this batch of Birthday Gang was destined to be very peaceful.

Xiao Tang, who was sitting on the top, said leisurely: "Now that the father and son of Zengtou City have all been killed, I am acting secretly in the green forest, and the livelihood of the Daimyo's Mansion and Xiao Jiaji is also very close to the government, Liang Shijie entrusts the matter of escorting the birthday gang every year, in addition to handing it over to my dart company to do, who can I entrust to go?" Although that guy doesn't miss the old feelings, but at the moment, in the official face, it is not appropriate to make too much trouble with him. ”

Yang Lin frowned slightly, and said: "When my brother was summoned by the official family and moved his family to Bianliang, Tokyo, although the first birthday gang escorted by Liang Shijie was intercepted by the group of gangsters on Jingxi Road, among the culprits, the Yuan Lang brothers had already surrendered to their brother, and it seemed that Duan Sanniang, Duan Er, Duan Wu, Kou Ying, Wei He and other thieves had all been subdued, and only Liu Min and Yu Tai had escaped. And over the years, although there are also green forest strongmen who covet the 100,000 gold jewelry shells of the Shengchengang, as the elder brother's reputation on the road becomes more and more famous, when the younger brother escorts the Shengchengang to Tokyo, it is also very peaceful.

But now the people in the green forest think that his brother was killed in Liaodong, as if the red-haired ghost Liu Tang actually ran to the Erlong Mountain village and instigated Brother Zhishen to fight the idea of the birth gang! Although Brother Zhishen sent him away, it is expected that he will not give up, and there are not many other heroes on the road who want to rob the Birth Gang. ”

Xiao Tang smiled faintly and said: "From the Daimyo's Mansion to Tokyo Bianliang, there is no waterway, they are all dry roads, and the Purple Mountain, Erlong Mountain, Peach Blossom Mountain, Umbrella Mountain, Huangnigang, Baishawu, Yeyundu, Red Pine Forest and other places are also places where strong people gather in green forests. Therefore, it is not uncommon for Liu Tang to find the Erlong cottage where Zhishen's brother Xiaoju gathered first, and persuade him to gang up to rob the Birth Gang.

Although Liu Tang didn't know the green forest heroes in the area of Erlong Mountain and Peach Blossom Mountain, the people in the dart line who escorted me to the birthday gang were all his own brothers, but after Peach Blossom Mountain, Umbrella Mountain and other places, in the state capitals near Huangnigang and Baishawu, what are the famous people in the rivers and lakes who will make that red-haired ghost go to defect? ”

Shi Xiu frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said: "That Huangnigang official road is close to the boundary of Jeju Mansion on Jingxi Road, and there are two people in Yuncheng County, Jeju, Shandong Province who are rumored to be righteous and squandering wealth in their lives, and who love to get acquainted with heroes in the world and have a very good reputation in the rivers and lakes, one is Chao Gai Chao Baozheng, who is praised as the king of Tota in Dongxi Village, and the other is Song Jiang in Yuncheng County, who is called timely rain.

That Song Jiang also met with his brother back then, although he and his brother were praised as Shandong Hubaoyi and Hebei Hubaoyi, but after all, he was just a knife and pen official who served in the official family, and he was afraid that he would not do it if he robbed the birth gang, which would be a serious crime. At the same time, the red-haired ghost Liu Tang was in a house, and seven or eight times out of ten he went back to join the Tuota Heavenly King Chao Gai, and persuaded him to discuss with him to rob the batch of births escorted by the Yang Lin brothers! ”

Xiao Tang nodded and said, "That's right!" As far as I know, many of the people who are private businessmen in Shandong and Hebei have gone to Nachao Gai, like him and other figures, I am afraid that they are not willing to only be a Baozheng in Dongxi Village for the rest of their lives. And in addition to the Natota Heavenly King Chao Gai, I heard that there is also a teacher in Dongxi Village called Zhiduoxing Wu Yong, who is also a good planner and does not want to only teach in the private school of the study.

And there is a village called Anle Village on the East Ten Miles Road of Huangnigang, and there is an idler in the village called Bai Sheng, a white day rat, who has also come to Chao Gai, and has been helped by Chao Baozheng. If Liu Tang and Chao Gai conspired to rob the Birth Gang, then Wu Yong and Bai Sheng would definitely be willing to join the gang to earn the Birth Gang escorted by the Yang Lin brothers! ”

Shi Xiu and Yang Lin did get more and more strange the more they listened, and they secretly thought in their hearts that although Chao Gai Chao Bao of Dongxi Village had some reputation in the rivers and lakes, they all knew it, but what Zhi Duoxing Wu Yong, Bai Sheng and others were unknown in the green forest of Shandong. Although although his brother went to Mizhou with a dart, on the way back to the Daimyo's Mansion, he had met Song Jiang, Zhu Tong, Lei Heng and other county officials in Yuncheng County, and he had never heard that he had met with Chao Gai in Dongxi Village.

After Sha Mo beat Liu Tang to Erlong Mountain to persuade Zhishen's brother to rob the Birth Gang, his brother expected that the red-haired ghost would go to Chao Gai to fight against the chips, so he sent someone to find out the helpers he might have wooed?

After Yang Lin thought about it for a while, he asked Xiao Tang again: "Brother thinks that Chao Gai is very likely to conspire with Liu Tang and others to rob the Birth Gang, if I really bump into a few of them when I dart, how does my brother plan to tell me to deal with them?" ”

Xiao Tang froze down, and said: "Brother Yang Lin, this time you escort the Birthday Gang, you will send ten Taiping cars from the Daimyo's Mansion Dart Hang, and another ten van cars in parallel, and each car and ten dart masters in the dart line are guarding the car, and each car is planted with two yellow flags, which read: 'Xiao Shi Dart Escort Birthday Gang', do enough pomp and circumstance to set off on the road, and see if in addition to Chao Gai and the others, can also lead to some bandits and strongmen in the green forest who want to earn this Birthday Gang." ”

In the original work, Yang Zhi, the blue-faced beast who was supposed to escort the Birth Gang, told Liang Shijie that he did not use a Taiping car when transporting the Birth Gang, but packed the Shengchen Gang into more than a dozen burdens, and the selected more than ten box troops and forbidden army soldiers also pretended to be porters, and the group all pretended to be merchants and quietly transported 100,000 pieces of gold and jewelry to Bianliang, Tokyo, in order to hide people's eyes and ears in a low-key way, so as not to attract strongmen from all over the way.

But later facts also proved that even if Yang Zhi took some effort to hide from the world, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Liu Tang and others, who were worried about the birth gang, only made a little inquiry, and they still bumped into Yang Zhi and his party who had worked hard all the way in Huangnigang. Rao is Yang Zhi was careful and vigilant, but he was still overturned by more than a dozen military soldiers including Wu Yong's envoy and himself, and was outwitted.

Xiao Tang planned to do the opposite, he instructed Yang Lin to escort the Birthday Gang with great fanfare, send additional manpower and prepare well all the way, just to see how Wu Yong could design the people who secretly exchanged the sweat medicine for the water and wine that turned over his own darts.

It doesn't matter whether the 100,000 Birthday Gang can be successfully delivered to Bianjing, if there are other strongmen who also have the idea of this Birthday Gang, Xiao Tang also plans to take this opportunity to find out all the forces in the green forest that dare to be enemies with him, and with only 100,000 Guan money, he can expose the potential enemies in the green forest in front of his eyes, which is also very cost-effective for Xiao Tang.

Xiao Tang paused for a moment, and then said: "Brother Yang Lin, you spend another 100,000 yuan from the Daimyo's Mansion Qianzhuang, if you really meet Chao Gai, Liu Tang and others, you don't have to fight and quarrel with their gang first." If they are willing to stop, there is no need to report their deeds to the state government yamen, and if they need gold, silver, and money according to the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, it will not hurt them to be in a good position. ”

Shi Xiu frowned when he heard this, he was originally a decisive character, and he said in his heart whether Chao Gai would respond to Liu Tang's idea and cooperate to rob the Birth Gang, although it is uncertain, but once he recruits people to really come to the Xiao family's dart line to make a living, he doesn't care about being the opponent of Xiao Tang, so why bother to open up to him?

Thinking of this, Shi Xiu asked Xiao Tang in puzzlement: "Brother, if Chao Gai and Liu Tang's gang really want to rob the birthday gang escorted by our dart shop, wouldn't they be like the group of birdmen in Zengtou City, thinking that my brother was dying in Liaodong, so they dared to provoke us!"

Rao is that Chao Gai has some reputation in the rivers and lakes, but if that group of birds is really not taboo to form a bond with us, why should we talk to those guys about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes? According to me, as long as they dare to come to rob the darts, it is better to simply get rid of the pickled people who don't know how to advance and retreat. ”

Xiao Tang shook his head with a smile and said: "Chao Gai, Liu Tang's gang and the father and son in Zengtou City are completely different, they don't know my plot in the green forest, they only regard the Birthday Gang as the ill-gotten wealth of Liang Zhongshu's filial piety to Master Cai, whether it is my Xiao family's dart line who escorts the Birthday Gang, or the military generals under Liang Shijie's account, it is no different for Chao Gai and others.

What's more, that day, the red-haired ghost Liu Tang went to the Baozhu Temple of Erlong Mountain, but instigated Brother Zhishen to rob him to rob the Birth Gang, but why did Brother Zhishen let him go? is also because I saw that although Liu Tang wanted to snatch the dart and rob the birth gang, he was also a righteous and straightforward man. With only a hundred thousand yuan of money, instead of forming a mortal enmity with the heroes on the rivers and lakes who are worth wooing, it is better to take this opportunity to make some friendships with those people, and when we act in the green forest in the future, maybe it can also be of great use. Not to mention....."

Xiao Tang let out a long sigh of relief, and said: "What's more, the eldest disciple under the Luo Zhenren seat of Jizhou Erxian Mountain has been traveling south to the Song Realm for a while, I guess now he should also go to the boundary of Yuncheng County, Jeju......"
