Chapter 42: The First Step of the Long March

The Juyi Hall was in order, and Lu Qian took Pan Jinlian and Liu Tang to settle down first. Wang Lun agreed with everyone that he would eat wine in the Fenjin Pavilion and wash the dust for Lu Qian and Liu Tang.

The crowd rejoiced in themselves.

The minions took Lu Qian and the others into the room, which was a small courtyard, with three main houses, two rooms on the left and right, and a backyard the size of three points, with a thatched toilet, a horse shed, a stove room and a well.

There are doors in the front and back, and the front yard is two points in size, and there is only one crooked-necked date tree in the yard.

"Knowing that Marquis Yu brought his family, the big leader specially asked the little ones to clean up this courtyard." The minions who led the way also said so. Planting jujube trees in the courtyard is a noble son who is one step ahead of others. It's an auspicious intention!

Lu Qian smiled loudly, "It's all the love of the king's leader." If so, Lu Qian invited the brothers of the whole village to eat wine. ”

"The little ones are waiting to eat Yu Hou's wedding wine."

"Haha, what else is it called Marquis Yu, on Liangshan today, there is no Marquis Lu Yu in this world. You should call me Brother Sheng. ”

"Yo, that's the blessing of the villain."

Laughing like this, there was a lot of laughter in the courtyard. This room has been carefully cleaned, the beds, curtains, cups, and cups are all new, which shows the 'sincerity' of the mountain.

Lu Qian opened the box that had been moved to the east room, there was a small package in it, and when he opened it, it was full of copper coins that were hanging a little and hanging a little. This small penny is a hundred coppers.

Lu Qian went to two strings and reached the hand of the minion who took the lead, "This money allows the brothers to go down and drink an extra bowl of wine." ”

"Brother Yuhou, this can't be helped." The man's hands shook like windmills. But Lu Qian insisted on giving it to him, how did he let it.

"Let you take it, and let the brethren be tired. If you're embarrassed, go get two more buckets of hot water. ”

200 copper coins may be regarded as 200 yuan.

This is not worth mentioning in Lu Qian's opinion, even when he is down, he has never lacked this little money. He didn't expect to spend money to buy people's hearts as soon as he arrived in Liangshan, it was too obvious to do so. The gold content and technical content of righteousness and wealth are very high, and the money is too low.

So don't think about other aspects, this is just Lu Qian's 'tip'. After all, these people have walked so far with weapons and boxes in their arms.

But for these little minions, this is obviously a surprise and a pleasure.

The heroes of Liangshan eat meat and drink wine, and the entire Water Margin is written as heroes.

These people either committed crimes in their hometowns, or they lost their property and land, and there were even down-and-out fishermen around Shuibo who came to Liangshan to join the gang, just to have a full stomach and a place to stay. As for the money, hehe, then it really hehe.

And looking at Wang Lun's handwriting, 50 taels of silver sent Lin Chong, and five ingots of silver [up to two hundred and five] sent Chao Gai and his gang, which shows that the economy is not very rich. This time, this gang of minions is busy, and one person can get twenty or thirty copper coins, how can they not be happy?

Hearing that Lu Qian wanted hot water, he brought hot water one by one.

Lu Qian sent these minions away, closed the door, and stripped and cleaned. looked at Pan Jinlian, who bowed her head and was silent, just busy with what she should be busy with, and asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”

"The servant doesn't know that the official is the Marquis Lu Yu who killed Gao Ya."

Lu Qian lay naked in the big wooden bucket, enjoying the service of Pan Jinlian's delicate little hands, "Do you also know the Gaokan Birdman?" ”

"No one in Tokyo knows the name of Hua Hua Tai Sui. The maid was originally in Tokyo. ”

A few days after Gao Kan's death, Lin Chong resigned, moved and left, and the matter was full of trouble.

And the petty burghers are the ones who love to spread some gossip. In the middle class of Tokyo, there are often two newspapers: one is the government's "morning newspaper", which is equivalent to the party and government publications of later generations, with a serious face; One is a privately run "tabloid", which is equivalent to an entertainment weekly in later generations, and often reveals the secret history of the palace and celebrity gossip that the "court newspaper" is unwilling to report or dare not report, which can particularly attract people's attention.

There are also a lot of fierce people among the citizens, and they are not afraid of losing their heads at all by arranging the secret history of the emperor's palace and spreading lace news and gossip in the court. There are even some fierce people who will privately engrave tabloids and do that kind of retaliation. In the fourth year of Daguan (1110), they made a shocking news. In order to meet the needs of public opinion, the "tabloids" issued an edict criticizing Cai Jing in the tone of Zhao Ji, saying that "Cai Jing has no clear eyes and strong vision, no deaf ears but strong hearing, cunning in public conduct, flattery in deeds, unkind inside and outside, and no inspection from top to bottom." It was also reported that Cai Jing and his accomplices had been wiped out by the emperor. Cai Jing was very helpless, and held N press conferences in a row to clarify the facts. But in the end, it was not clear who was responsible for this.

After Na Gaokan was killed, Lu Qian left a bloody word, and he didn't know how many people saw it. After Lin Chong's resignation, as well as the matter of Yueyang Tower that came out in the market, it really exposed everything to the public.

You know, the tabloids of this era already have their own 'paparazzi'. The paparazzi showed their own powers: some specially asked the eunuch and palace maid to inquire about the emotional entanglement between the emperor and his 72 concubines, that is, the so-called "internal exploration"; There are also those who go to various ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee to inquire about the appointment and dismissal of officials, whether they have accepted bribes, and whether they have raised little wives, that is, the so-called "provincial detectives"; There are also those who go to various yamen, especially prisons, to inquire about the progress of homicide cases, that is, the so-called "government detectives......

Gao Kan's murder was a big case that shocked Kaifeng Mansion, and Gao Yu couldn't hide it at all. And the people of Kaifeng Mansion and the Criminal Prison Department are in front of the real silver, so they don't dare to spit out. Lin Chong's safe and sound resignation and return to his hometown is still closely related to these tabloids.

The city is full of wind and rain, even if Gao Yu hates Lin Chong very much, he doesn't dare to implicate him at will and take revenge.

Pan Jinlian has experienced that big drama alive, and she is thunderous about Lu Qian's name. But she is like Ye Gong of the good dragon, who is only willing to love heroes when she can't see them, and never wants to be in close contact with real heroes.

But now that Pan Jinlian ......, she is the Ye Gong who was patronized by the real dragon, and she is only afraid in her heart. Because of this, her own danger was greatly increased. Pan Jinlian said from the bottom of her heart that she didn't want to do this. A person who does not want to be a fugitive slave naturally does not want to be with criminals who must be killed by the imperial court.

But what can she do as a weak woman? Can you still hit this beam of mountains and rivers?

"Then now you want to blame me for abducting you into this den of thieves?"

"The servant doesn't dare." Everything is over, this is fate. Pan Jinlian attached to Lu Qian's ear and said: "The servant only asks the official to always remember the servant in the future, and never take risks easily." ”

"In this cottage, the only person the servant can rely on is the official."

What a beautiful woman is most afraid of is not that she will be snatched up the mountain by the king of the mountain, but that the king of the mountain who robbed her will hang up immediately. That's the moldy star, and it's even worse.

"Brother, are you ready?"

Liu Tang's voice came from outside the door, and his residence was next to Lu Qian's small courtyard.

"Wait a minute, brother."

Lu Qian got up and dressed, and said to Pan Jinlian, "Someone will bring you dinner." It's not too late to fire tomorrow. He took off the wrist knife and hid it in his sleeve, and strode out.

He went to Liangshan. But this is only the first step in a long march!
