Chapter 189: A Gentleman Loves Money

Early the next morning, a notice was posted on the wharf, at three o'clock in the afternoon, His Royal Highness King Jia will behead the Zhu father and son on the wharf square, the news spread throughout the city of Suzhou like a gust of wind, and more than 100,000 people who had been guarding the Fengqiao area all night were even more boiling. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhizhou Zhao Lin was secretly happy, Cai Xianggong's move was really clever, using public opinion to force Zhao Kai to compromise, he immediately arranged for craftsmen to build a place on the dock square to cut the platform, and at the same time sent hundreds of officials to maintain order.

In a private house near Fengqiao, more than a dozen big men gathered in the lobby, which was the temporary residence of Song Jiang, the leader of Liangshan, this time Song Jiang brought twelve leaders and three hundred elite soldiers from Yunzhou to the south, to participate in the battle for Zhu Mian's wealth.

Zhu Mian has been exploiting the Jiangnan area for many years and has accumulated incredible wealth, which not only makes the people of Jiangnan extremely hateful, but also makes the heroes of all walks of life blush.

Song Jiang was no exception, he planted eyeliner among the dead soldiers recruited by Zhu Mian, and arranged a contact point in Suzhou City, when Zhu Mian decided to flee, the contact person in Suzhou City sent a message to Liangshan with a flying pigeon, and Song Jiang immediately heard the news.

However, the area south of the Yangtze River was not Song Jiang's sphere of influence, so he sent his henchmen Dai Zong and Fang La to contact, and the two sides hit it off and decided to join forces to intercept Zhu Mian's wealth, and the two families were divided equally after they succeeded.

In the lobby, Yu Cheng was reporting to Song Jiang and the others what he had discovered, "I saw with my own eyes those big iron boxes, each big box is taller than a person, a large box is equivalent to an ordinary four wooden boxes, all of which are gold, silver, jewelry, silk and other property, the exact number is three hundred and eighty-two large boxes, each ship carries more than seventy large boxes, all of which are placed in the bottom cabin. ”

"How many people are on the other side?" Wu Yong, the leader next to him, asked.

"They originally had thirty guards, but when they heard that there was infighting, there were only twenty-six left, and these twenty-six were mainly to protect King Jia, while the remaining fifty large ships were guarded by three hundred soldiers, with an average of six soldiers on one ship, plus the boatmen, a maximum of ten people on each ship."

"It's not enough for me to fill in the gaps!"

Li Kui let out a strange scream, which immediately caused laughter.

Song Jiang smiled and waved his hand, making everyone quiet, he said slowly: "Brother Hu Xian can meet his daughter at the dock, and get the help of the little lady, get on the boat to find out the situation, and kill Zhu Mian, this is God helping us, it is the result of our way for heaven, since it is the will of God, then we will succeed this time, Zhu Mian's ill-gotten wealth will definitely become the help of our Liangshan prosperity, brothers, one day we will kill into Bianjing, cut off the head of the faint king, and share the glory and wealth of the world!" ”

At this time, Dai Zong hurriedly walked into the lobby and whispered a few words to Song Jiang, and Song Jiang waved his hand and smiled: "There is a distinguished guest coming, we will greet the guest first." ”

Song Jiang stood up and walked to the front of the lobby, only to see three people walking briskly outside, the leader was a scribe about forty years old, with a thin face, looking quite shrewd and capable, this person is called Fang Fei, is Fang La's cousin, and is also Fang La's right-hand man, because he is quite strategic, he is currently serving as the deputy sect leader and military advisor, and is the second person in the Mingjiao uprising team after Fang La.

This time when he came to Suzhou to seek Zhu Mian's wealth, Fang La did not come forward, but Fang Fei led 600 elite soldiers to the north in disguise.

Fang Fei and Song Jiang exchanged a few words, and Fang Fei said with a smile: "I didn't expect Song Gongming to come in person with his troops, it seems that Liangshan is bound to get this wealth!" ”

Song Jiang smiled slightly: "If you have money, everyone will make a fortune, on the territory of Sect Master Fang, how dare Song Jiang act recklessly, what should I do, Song Jiang still has to listen to Sect Leader Fang's arrangement." ”

Fang Fei sneered and said, "Didn't Song Gongming already do it?" Otherwise, how could Zhu Mian commit suicide in fear of sin? ”

Song Jiang secretly thought in his heart, "This person is so shrewd, he actually saw through that Zhu Mian's death was the hand of Liang Shan." ’

He laughed and said: "Brother Fang Xian is serious, Song Jiang is just paving the road first, how to deal with the property, you have to negotiate with Brother Xian before formulating a plan, this is a matter of the two families, Song Jiang will not act arbitrarily." ”

Fang Fei's face softened slightly, and he said, "I'm just here to discuss the specific plan with Brother Gongming." ”

"Please talk about it in the inner hall!"

"Brother Gongming, please!"

........

After negotiating for an hour, Fang Fei left with his subordinates, and at this time, the three core members of Song Jiang, Wu Yong and Chao Gai continued to discuss the details of the arrangement.

Wu Yong is about forty years old this year, medium stature, fair skin, gentle and elegant, he was originally a clerk in the Yunzhou state capital, is Song Jiang's best friend for many years, he was implicated in Song Jiang's case, and was forced to flee to Liangshan, because he is full of economy, thoughtful, extremely good writing, and Song Jiang has a friendship of 20 years, he gradually became Song Jiang's adviser, became Song Jiang's right-hand man.

Before Song Jiang entered Liangshan, Liangshan was full of mountains, and more than a dozen thieves each occupied the mountain as the king, Chao Gai was one of the largest forces, Chao Gai admired Song Jiang's righteous name, and decided to merge the two forces under the persuasion of Song Jiang and accept the leadership of Song Jiang.

It was this merger that made Song Jiang the leader of the largest force in Liangshan, and laid a solid foundation for Song Jiang to unify Liangshan.

Song Jiang pointed to the map and said to the two: "Fang Fei's plan is good, start before the fleet arrives in Wuxi, take Jiangyin into the Yangtze River before the officers and soldiers come to support, and then enter the sea from the Yangtze River, there are many deserted islands outside the Yangtze River, you can hide the property first, and when the limelight passes, the two sides will divide the property and return to their respective stations, this is a very perfect plan, our two armies have a total of nine hundred people, enough to capture these fifty big ships." ”

"I wonder how strong the ship is?" Chao Gai asked.

"Don't worry! These are all large ships that carry thousands of stones, and they often go to the sea to transport grain, and there is no problem at all in entering the sea, and these large ships will also be our wealth at that time. ”

Chao Gai nodded and said, "What should King Najia do?" ”

Song Jiang groaned and said: "Including King Jia and the guards, they can't be harmed, send them off the ship, he is a prince after all, as long as he is safe and sound, even if the faint monarch loses his property, he will not be too pursued, if he is injured, I am afraid that we will have a sad life in the future." ”

At this time, Song Jiang saw that Wu Yong had been silent, so he asked, "What is the military advisor thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking about the situation reported by Hu Cheng, doesn't my eldest brother think there's something hidden in it?"

"What is being hidden?" Chao Gai hurriedly asked.

"About his daughter, how could his daughter be on the ship, and what is her identity? Hu Cheng didn't say anything, I think it's a bit strange here! ”

Song Jiang smiled slightly, "Hu Cheng has told me this matter in private, he doesn't want to say more out of the heart of protecting his daughter, I also agreed, this is related to one of his neighbor boys, speaking of which at the beginning of last year, I also had a little intersection with this young man, his martial arts are taught by Hu Cheng, a stone is quite clever, and later became a disciple of Zhou Dong, Hu Cheng's daughter was rescued from the prison of the Daimyo's Mansion." ”

"I see, but how could he go with King Jia?"

"His master is Zhou Tong, and Zhou Tong is the head of the forbidden army, I guess it was Zhou Tong who introduced him to King Jia, the two are about the same age, and they can be King Jia's personal guard."

For Song Jiang, Li Yanqing was just a teenager he met in order to recruit Hu Cheng, he didn't really take Li Yanqing to heart, and he didn't know anything about Li Yanqing's situation, and Song Jiang's memory of Li Yanqing was still stuck at the beginning of last year.

Of course, there is another extreme reason that Song Jiang was once planted in the hands of Li Yanqing, which made him secretive about Li Yanqing, and he never mentioned what happened to him in Tangyin County after returning to Liangshan, and of course he didn't want Hu Cheng to mention the name Li Yanqing in public.

Wu Yong heard that he was just a teenager and was King Jia's personal guard, so he didn't take him to heart, and said to Song Jiang: "From the time calculation, if the Zhu father and son are killed at noon today, then by the evening, the boats blocking the canal should be withdrawn, and the fleet will set off for the north tomorrow morning at the latest, then we can start tomorrow night, time is very tight, we must rush to ambush and deploy before Fang Fei, this matter must not allow Fang Fei to take the initiative, we must take the lead, I suggest that we divide our troops into two ways, Brother Chao and Dai Zong took a few brothers to continue to monitor the fleet in Suzhou, while the eldest brother led the main force to the north immediately and deployed first. ”

Wu Yong's suggestion said that Song Jiang's heart was up, they must take the initiative and lead this robbery operation, Song Jiang immediately decided, "I completely agree, let's go now!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the rumbling drums outside, and after a while, one of his subordinates ran to report: "Zhu Chong is going to be killed on the dock!" ”
