Text Chapter 16 Song Oshiji's calculations

At dawn, the sky is getting brighter.

Chao Gai, who had worked all night, couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief when he saw that the last batch of gold and silver had also been safely escorted to Liangshan.

On this night, he seemed to be calm and composed, but in fact, he was sweating all the time. Especially in the second half of the night, he personally escorted the carriage there. If you take advantage of the night to attract officers and soldiers, it will be troublesome. Fortunately, at the moment, after a busy night, I finally grabbed the time for a night, and first transferred all the gold and silver on Chaojiazhuang to Liangshan. The rest is the food problem.

For the sake of safety, Chao Gai left Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu to guard Chaojiazhuang, and personally instructed him before taking Lin Chong and Ruan Xiaoqi back to Liangshan. Now, he had to tread carefully.

Liangshan cottage.

In the Juyi Hall, at this time, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Lin Chong, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Zhu Gui were each sitting on the chairs, although each of them was tired and their eyes were bloodshot, but they were all in good spirits at this time.

"Fortunately, there was nothing wrong last night", Wu Yong shook the goose feather fan with a deep groan. Last night he had been busy accepting and counting the money, and he had not closed his eyes all night: "However, I am afraid that tonight is the most dangerous."

"Now that I've been working all night, I'm already sleepy. What's more, the large number of deliveries during the day is too eye-catching. The rest of the grain and rice can only be transported tonight."

Chao Gai nodded, but his face was not relaxed at all, he glanced at everyone present, and said in a deep voice: "The pedant is right. Brothers still need to recuperate, tonight is not a fierce battle."

Hearing this, Zhu Gui was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of something, and looked at Chao Gai with an uncertain expression: "What does my brother mean ......?"

"Last night there was too much movement, it was inevitable that it would not attract attention, and I am afraid that spies will come soon. I think that if the officers and soldiers want to ask questions, they will definitely wait until we are transporting them, and intercept them along the way, so that they can bump into one person and get the stolen goods, so that we will be irrefutable."

Seeing that Zhu Gui didn't understand, Wu Yong explained the meaning of Chao Gai again.

"That being the case, the little brother went down the mountain to the hotel to set up. Ordered his subordinates to strengthen their vigilance and listen to more news", Zhu Guijian said, and hurriedly stood up and said. Except for him, the leaders of the mountain at this time were all the confidants and brothers of the original Chao Gai. Although I have accepted myself now, if I don't show my determination with my actions, I am afraid that I will be alienated again. Moreover, Zhu Gui deeply felt that although Chao Gai in front of him was easy to get along with on the surface, if he was serious, he would definitely not be able to match Wang Lun.

"It's so best, there will be a trip to Brother Lao Zhugui."

Seeing Chao Gai nodded, Zhu Gui clenched his fists, turned around and went down the mountain.

……

Yuncheng County Yaqian.

"Brother Komeito".

Lei Heng saw Song Jiang, who was dressed in an official uniform, walking out of the county office, with a red light on his face, and immediately put down the tea bowl in his hand with Zhu Tong, who had been waiting for a long time on the side, stood up and hurriedly greeted him.

"My brother finally dispersed, but he taught me to wait a long time."

Song Jiang was overjoyed when he saw that it was Zhu Tong and Lei Heng coming, and said with a leisurely smile: "Why aren't the two virtuous brothers bad today?" I haven't seen him for a few days, but today I went to my house with Song Jiang for a few drinks."

Song Jiang stroked his beard lightly, with a satisfied expression, and now his life can be described as moisturizing. Not to mention that there are no tricky cases in Yuncheng County, and he married a wife again, named Yan Poxi, and settled in the west lane of the county. Although he is only a little greedy for money, he is quite beautiful, with beautiful flowers and beautiful jade. will sing songs to amuse people, especially the kung fu of the bed, which is also full of tricks, all kinds of moves, full of fun, and makes people love in every way.

Song Jiang was about to go out and go to the street to buy some pearls and green Lingluo, and take them to find that Yan Poxi, and then play and sing, and have a good love.

Seeing that this beautiful bearded man Zhu Tong and the winged tiger Lei Heng were looking for him, Song Jiang suddenly felt tired and crooked, it was better to pull these two people away, and see his slender wife Yan Po, thinking that he could also give himself a good long face, but taught him to envy the two of them.

As for the love and pleasure, after these two people are gone, they are drunk, but they are not more sexual?

Thinking of this, Song Jiang felt a burst of heat in his lower abdomen, and suddenly turned his body to the side for a few minutes, so as not to show embarrassment and lose face in front of the two in front of him.

"Brother Gongming is so interested", Lei Heng looked anxious, grabbed Song Jiang in front of him, and whispered to Song Jiang: "The two of us have been here for a long time, but something happened in the county."

Song Jiang was stunned, and along the anxious looks of Zhu Tong and Lei Heng in front of him, it didn't seem to be fake, but he thought in his heart: As the first director in Yuncheng County, he has never heard anything big happen in the past few days.

However, with years of experience as an official, Song Jiang also put away his contempt, and saw a small teahouse not far away, so he said to the two in front of him: "That is the case, this is not the place to talk, you two come with me."

With that, Song Jiang walked towards the teahouse opposite, and Zhu Tong and Lei Heng hurriedly followed.

The three of them found a quiet corner and sat down, Song Jiang saw that there was no one around, so he said softly: "I don't know what happened when the two virtuous brothers came?" ”

Lei Heng first looked around, but there was no one else, so he moved his body forward, and said with a cautious face: "Last night, I waited for my men to patrol, and I saw ......."

It turned out that Lei Heng and Zhu Tong were fighting wine last night, and when they were in the middle of drinking, some of his men came to report that the lights were bright all night in Chaogai Village, and there were a large number of people transporting a large number of boxes, and they were constantly heading to Liangshan.

When the two of them heard this, they were a little incredulous, and immediately felt that the matter was serious, so they immediately went to investigate in person, and sure enough.

"How can such a thing happen?"

Song Jiang was also shocked when he heard this, although he was a little unbelievable, but the two people in front of him were his confidants, and he would not deceive himself. is also the two of them, the best catchers in Yuncheng County, and went to investigate, presumably there should be no fake.

"It's true", Zhu Tong also stared at a pair of big eyes at this time, and said softly: "The two of us paid close attention to observation, but we transported it for a whole night, and sent it straight to Liangshan, and it didn't stop until dawn today." ”

"The younger brother said early that Chao Gai had ill intentions and gathered furniture, so he must have bad intentions. Now that I think about it, the previous fraud must have been a cover-up, but it was quietly colluding with the Liangshan thieves", Lei Heng had an expected look on his face.

Hearing Lei Heng's words, Song Jiang didn't say anything, he groaned for a while, and then looked at Zhu Tong, who had always been a little steady, and asked, "Do you know what is being transported?" ”

"What could it be?"

Lei Heng suddenly interjected and said: "That Chao Gai has long been uneasy and kind, gathering family wealth. Now that he has an affair with Liangshan, he must be a thief with money and materials."

"Don't talk nonsense", Song Jiang frowned slightly when he saw this: "This matter is a big matter, but you have to get all the evidence before you can speak."

Hearing this, Lei Heng had a stupid look on his face, but he didn't dare to say anything. At this time, it was Zhu Tong on the side who spoke: "What Brother Lei Heng said is not unreasonable. ”

"For the carriages were all escorted, and there were many of them. I was afraid of being noticed, and I didn't dare to get too close, so I could only spy in the woods at night."

"However, early this morning, the younger brother observed along the way, and the rut was not light. If you want to come to the car, it must be a very heavy weight. And it is packed and transported in a large wooden box, and nine times out of ten it is the yellow and white thing."

Hearing this, Song Jiang also nodded, feeling that what Zhu Tong said was indeed reasonable. That Chao Gai is the largest household in Yuncheng County, and even this Jingdong Road can't find a few people who can compare with him. Now that it's being transported at night, it's extremely heavy, so it can't be a stone, right?

Moreover, he communicates with Liangshan, and Liangshan is most in need of money. Now that Chao Gai is paying the money, although I don't know what conspiracy the two sides have, it is reasonable.

Chao Baozheng, you really still embarked on this road. It's just that now that you have an affair with a robber, you are a bandit, and I am an official, you can't blame me Song Jiang for ignoring the past feelings.

Song Jiang's eyes froze, and there was a terrifying coldness in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth were a little signature smile, and then he asked, "What is going on with Chao Gaizhuang now?" ”

"I sent someone to investigate the previous time, and although I couldn't see anything on the surface, it seemed that we had strengthened our vigilance."

Hearing this, Song Jiang smiled even more, groaned a little, and then said to the two people in front of him in a deep voice:

"This is not a trivial matter, and the news must not be leaked. That Chao Gai was originally a big family here, and if there was no full evidence, it would be difficult to shake him. ”

"You two will go back now, be careful and pay attention, don't startle the snake. If there is any wind and grass, report it quickly".

After receiving Song Jiang's orders, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng did not dare to hesitate, turned around and left in a hurry.

Looking at the backs of these two people, Song Jiang's heart once again added a touch of joy.

I think it's a godsend, how can I, Song Jiang, miss it in vain!

Everyone says that good things come in pairs, and it seems that this is true. Now that he has accepted a beautiful wife, if he does this again, it must be a great achievement, and it seems that he will take another step forward.

Rubbing his palms that were a little excited, the corners of Song Jiang's mouth flashed with a smile that ordinary people could not detect, and then left the teahouse.

Chao Baozheng, now I, Song Jiang, have become a waiter. As long as you act again, I will ask for the search paperwork, and it will not be too late to look for you!

It was night, a string moon hung high in the sky, and the stars filled the sky.

Under the misty night, Liangshan Mountain in the distance was pitch black. From a distance, it looks like a giant beast that chooses people and loves people, unfolding its bloody mouth, revealing a hideous face.

After a while, a group of men and horses came slowly, with a group of minions guarding the periphery, escorting about ten carriages in the middle, loaded with goods, heading towards Liangshan.

At this time, in the bushes about 100 meters away from this road, there were several pairs of eyes staring at the long queue in front of them, and the people who were the leaders were the two well-known leaders of Yuncheng County: Zhu Tong and Lei Heng.

"Hmph", Lei Heng's small eyes kept looking at the slowly moving convoy not far away, pulled out a thatch from his mouth, and said hatefully: "Sure enough, I didn't act until late at night, but he taught me to wait for a long time."

"Sound point!.

Seeing Lei Heng complaining on the side, Zhu Tong hurriedly spoke, and then looked carefully and said: "I just don't know what this cart is loaded with, but it looks like a cloth bag used to hold rice grain."

Hi! Lei Heng said nonchalantly: "No matter what he pretends to be, he is the stone that transports, and this time he also taught him to settle the lawsuit!" ”

As he spoke, Lei Heng slowly retreated: "You guard carefully here, wait for me to go quickly, and report to Brother Gongming."

Lei Heng said, then slowly stood up, lifted the Pu Dao beside him and was about to leave. No, although it was a quarter moon, at this time, there was a mottled ray of moonlight coming out through the clouds, but it happened to fall on the blade of the Pu knife lifted in Lei Heng's hand, and the reflection suddenly flashed away with a light that was not shining.

"Who's here?"

Suddenly, an angry shout suddenly rang out. Suddenly, I saw several minions on the periphery of the convoy fingering torches and sharp blades, followed by a majestic man with a spear in his hand, towards Zhu Tong's hiding place.

"Go and report to Brother Gongming, I will stop anyone who comes."

Seeing that he was exposed, Zhu Tong suddenly shouted at Lei Heng, who was still stunned, and then picked up the big knife beside him, and led the three or five soldiers around him to rush towards the comer.
