On the first day of June, it is not a big festival, but there is still some excitement in the north of the summer. Especially at the junction of southwest Lu and Henan and Anhui, the people worship their ancestors, go to the grave, burn incense and light cannons, and pray for smooth autumn weather and abundant grains.

The cars and horses in Jeju City are very lively, and when Shi Qian sits in the car, the end is like a splashing drum, and he can't stop shaking things.

When I arrived at Wang Dingliu's shop, I made a bowl of tea in the inner room, and when I sat down to watch, there were not many people in the hotel, and it was sparse. Shi Qian saw that it was still early, and he was about to go for a walk elsewhere, but he was grabbed by Han Bolong and said: "Stop for a while, there will be that guy coming, you sit down, don't be in a hurry to go around." Shi Qian had to sit down. Sure enough, not long after, I saw the white and chubby thirty people of my life entering the store, and Wang Dingliu hurriedly greeted him.

"The two leaders, that guy is the person who specializes in domesticating carrier pigeons in the government, his surname is Lu, and his name is a cool character." Just this little bit of information does not abolish Wang Dingliu's big twists and turns. Lu Qian saw that he could never find someone who could domesticate pigeons, so he asked him to change his way and find out what kind of people were doing this at Uncle Zhang's night. Lu Shuang also came to light, but Zhang Shuye didn't pay much attention to him, and he didn't hide much, so he naturally asked Wang Dingliu to succeed.

The storyteller in Wang Dingliu's shop is a must-have in the entire Jeju Mansion, this is not that Lu Qian has any tricks passed on to him, but he doesn't know anything about storytelling, and there is bullshit to teach. But although Lu Qian can't pass on the storyteller's know-how, he can bring him some jokes that are not the same as those in the market.

In the cottage school in Liangshan, there is a teacher who was 'invited' to the mountain, these people naturally have no real talent and learning, but they can all recognize and write words. Lu Qian asked them to compile some character chapters based on the historical records, as well as the stories of the characters in "The Legend of the Immortals" and "The Legend of the Immortals", and take them out and integrate them. Although this is not on the stage, for a mere storyteller, it is enough to make him famous in Jeju.

The storytellers in Wang Dingliu's shop have signed official deeds with him, ranging from three or five years to seven or eight years, and they are bound to the store.

At the beginning, it was not conspicuous, but after a few months of precipitation, it has already made Wang Dingliu's Wangbei Tower famous in Jeju City. This will certainly make Wang Dingliu's danger higher, but in this way, he can also find out more information and get in touch with a wider level. How could Wang Dingliu not want to take this risk?

Then Zheng Shuang is very good at listening to the story, listening to it satisfactorily, and applauding. I am afraid that if I let others come and speak, my ears will not hear. Shi Qian didn't need to go down for a while, but he was tormented by sitting down, and Han Bolong allowed him. In the blink of an eye, he pinched something up, but he had easily got it. "But it's going to bother my brother, and I'll go straight out of the city after taking his family later."

This thing was handed over to Wang Dingliu, and he sent someone to earn the Lu Qian's family.

After half an hour, Lu Shuang Shi Ran stood up, left tea money on the table, and walked out leisurely. There was a carriage parked at the intersection outside the store, and Han Bolong was waiting inside, and when Lu Shuang was about to walk through the carriage, a person dressed as a small guy flashed at the front of the car, and raised his voice to Lu Shuang: "Please stay with the officials, my family Langjun dares to ask the officials to get acquainted." ”

Lu Shuang was not vigilant at all, maybe he thought it was in broad daylight, and when he saw the little guy open the curtain of the carriage, he stepped in defenselessly. When I saw Han Bolong's big man for the first time, I noticed that something was wrong. How can such a character be the Langjun of a rich and noble family? And he didn't recognize it. But Han Bolong's big hand had already been taken down, and Lu Shuang didn't make a single sound, and the person was knocked unconscious. The young man jumped into the carriage and ran out of Jeju City with the carriage.

At night, Uncle Zhang's mansion still didn't notice anything. Because of the smell of pigeon dung, Lu Shuang's family lives in the most remote part of Zhangfu.

Shi Qian first jumped into the Lu family, and all the old and young in it had been earned by Wang Dingliu outside the city. Shi Qian mixed poison into the water, but if the pigeons drank the water, the gods could not save them, but they wanted to poison all the pigeons. There are pigeons on Liangshan that are bought, waiting for Lu Shuang to domesticate, but the pigeons here cannot be kept.

However, in addition to the pigeons of the Lu family in Zhangfu, there are also pigeons in the back house, but they are some domesticated carrier pigeons. When I moved into Lu's house, I saw a pile of dry firewood by the wall, and after finishing the eaves, I climbed on the pyre first, and then quietly jumped onto the roof.

Shi Qian identified the direction and sneaked towards the backyard of the mansion. This official of the Northern Song Dynasty is no more bitter than the official of Zhu Ming, the latter in order to show that he is incorruptible, no one dares to repair the official office, but there is no such 'custom' in the Northern Song Dynasty. It can be seen that the Confucian scholars of the Northern Song Dynasty are more shameful than their descendants.

The roof of the Jeju government office is made of thick tiles made of mud and hemp chips, and it is light and agile with its hands and feet, so that no loud noise is heard. Walking up to the roof and looking around, I saw a place in the middle, the lights were shining, shining directly into the air, reflecting the trees, mountains, rocks and pavilions around the roof. It's the sound of the string pipe, and it's coming out right there.

Obviously, that was Uncle Zhang's night place.

Shi Qian saw the direction, followed the ridge on the roof, and walked towards the bright place. Seeing that the distance is not far away, but there is a long alley in front of me, on both sides of the long alley are the courtyard walls covered with loach ridge tiles, it is quite difficult to stand on the foot, and when I lay in the tiles of the two houses and stretched out my head to look into the alley, I saw two gauze palace lamps, leading a pair of men and women to walk forward. The man was about thirty years old and wore a gauze hat. Dressed in a royal blue robe, his face is not very close. But listening to the woman who helped him: "Today, my father likes it so much, and he drinks a lot of wine and eats a lot." ”

"Today is full of joy. The Murong prefect of Qingzhou is the elder brother of the Murong Guifei in the palace, and he is willing to help my mansion, but God will help me. There are many people and horses in Qingzhou, and there is a brave general Thunderbolt Qin Ming, cooperating with my Jeju people, how can the grass Kou be an opponent? ”

Shi Qian is still thinking, in this state government office, who called the father? Isn't this Uncle Zhang's son and daughter-in-law? But he may not be his 'benefactor'. It was not that Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong seriously injured Liu Tang with a stick, and asked the second brother Ruan to go to Jiankang Mansion to ask An Daoquan, how could he join Liangshan? But I didn't want to hear such news instead.

Shi Qian had the heart to take out a crossbow and take the life of the head with an arrow, but he was afraid that he would miss the cottage matter. He and Han Bolong had two purposes for this trip to Jeju Mansion, one was to earn Lu Shuang's door; The second is to kill all the carrier pigeons in Uncle Zhang's hands. Now that such news has been discovered, there can be no negligence.

After hesitating again and again, Shi Qian didn't start. Not to mention that he has a 'heavy responsibility', he is a thief himself, not an assassin. By nature, he is only willing to come and go without a trace, and he doesn't want to be blocked in the city by the government, and he will go all out to hunt and hunt him down.

Seeing that the man and woman had gone far away, Shi Qian turned around and came back, and saw a wisteria in the courtyard on the right, which slipped down the pillar of the flower stand. Stepping through the long alley next to the wall, a narrow gate with begonia leaves on the opposite side is following the corridor. Stepping on the door, I immediately climbed to the top of the corridor, stepped on the ridge of the roof, and bypassed the courtyard with brilliant lights and singing, and the back flower courtyard was already in front of me.

But there is another courtyard to separate it. Shi Qian slipped under the eaves, took out the hook from behind the waist, the hook was solid, grabbed the rope with both hands, jumped up sharply, made a swing style, when he swung back, his toes went up, his body turned upside down, his feet were flat in the air, and he hung on the eaves, and a carp was very strong, and the person stood on the eaves.

With such an action, no matter how good his light body kung fu is, it will inevitably make a sound. You must know that this is the prefect's yamen, and there are many maids and servants, and I heard people exclaim immediately: "What is the noise?" ”

But I saw that the light of the stars and moon was shining in a deep place, obliquely illuminating, and there were two faint figures on the ground, which were sticking to the pillars in the corridor. Shi Qian couldn't hold his breath and pressed his body against the roof.

A woman's voice replied in a low voice: "Tonight, the officials have a big banquet and the guests are drinking, why are there people here, who must be feeding the civet cats." Shi Qian meowed a cat, quietly climbed away on the roof, and looked back when he was far away, but saw the pair of dogs and men hugging each other again, making love and affection.

As a thief, when he moved to a wealthy family at night, he didn't never see this kind of filth. It was the young master who blasphemed his mother, and the noble lady who raised a little maid, and he had seen it. If the interest comes, you can add a fire, and you will be happy to see the rich and noble family embarrassed.

But these days are far from the old days. Walking along the eaves, I finally heard the sound of the pigeon, and quickly did the work, and hurriedly turned back to Wang Dingliu's shop. Naturally, he told Wang Dingliu about the news of Qingzhou, and each other's faces were full of sorrow.

Shi Qian took a short rest at Wang Dingliu, and then came out of the city overnight and joined Han Bolong at the water's edge. A boatload of people rushed back to the cottage overnight without mentioning it.

Just talking about the current Lu Qian, he looked at Chao Gai with an excited face in front of him, as well as the smiling Zhiduoxing Wu Yong behind him, and a man who was more than six feet tall, with two loose buns on his head, wearing a short brown robe with a collar of Bashan, a variegated silk ribbon at the waist, and a loose bronze sword on his back. The white flesh feet are lined with multi-eared hemp shoes, and the brocade is holding a turtle shell fan. Eight eyebrows, a pair of apricot eyes, a tribe of high avenue people with beards. All the officials who know the context of the Water Margin should know who this person is, and what is the purpose of King Chao coming to Liangshan.

Sun Sheng, the dragon prince of Zhuyun, still came to defect to Chao Gai, and then this Chao Tianwang went up the mountain to come to Cai Jing's birthday. This Yunlong is also famous in the rivers and lakes, and the deeds he left behind are not outstanding, but he seems to have a very good temperament, otherwise he would not have taken this person to Liangshan so easily.

It's just that this Chao Gai didn't come to the cottage this time to rob the Birthday Gang, although his words and deeds are indeed related to the Birth Gang, but the purpose of his trip is to be a lobbyist for Cao Jing, the county governor, and he was entrusted by him to ask Lu Qian not to rob the Shengchengang.

That Shengchengang set off from the Daimyo's mansion, did not go all the way to Tokyo, but went around in a big circle to Jeju, came to Yuncheng, walked around the Huangnigang, and then went west to Tokyo, Lu Qian didn't think about the reason, but knew that this thing was like the fat meat in his mouth, and he could bite it off with one mouth; Many people in this world also think so, including Na Cao Jing. He knew very well how strong Liang Shanbo was, Yuncheng County couldn't resist it at all, and he heard that there was no one to escort him by that birthday. So he begged Chao Gai to beg Lu Qian, and in return, he could even privately deliver 5,000 catties of good iron to Liangshan. He also promised to 'have no offense' with Liang Shanbo in autumn!
