The convoy moved forward for more than 30 miles, but saw that at the foot of the mountain in front of him, there was a white water surface, Jiang Lintian knew that the front was Shanbo Liangshan, he knew that the current owner of the village was Wang Lun, a white-clothed Xiushi, these were all afraid, he was most afraid of Song Jiang and Chao Gai to make a move, he knew that these two people were not easy to deal with, I don't know if these two people would make a move, when to shoot, because after Liangshan Shuibo, walk more than 20 miles, you will arrive at Zengtou City, then it will be safe.

Jiang Lintian asked the convoy to stop, stop on the side of the road for a while, rest for a while, and asked Song Yunpeng to send someone to the front to inquire about the news, not long after, the little beggar who went to inquire about the news reported, Liang Shanshui was very calm, but there was a deserted village and wild shop fifteen miles ahead, it was very suspicious, that place was not in front of the village, there was no store behind, there was only a wild shop there, it was very strange.

Jiang Lintian was a little strange and asked, "Xiao Qi, does that place have a place name?" ”

Xiao Qi replied: "That place is called Cross Slope, the shopkeeper is a husband and wife, and there are five or six guys below, if I wait to arrive, it may be dark." ”

Hehe, how can the cross slope be near Liangshan, is it because of his arrival that the history of the Water Margin has changed, this cross slope black shop was opened by Sun Erniang and his wife, is it still a little related to Wu Song, Guan Jian Wu Song is not a tiger hero now, he doesn't have much reputation, tsk, interesting.

"Xiao Qi, inform everyone, hurry up, we will live in the cross slope tonight."

Xiao Qi agreed, and ran to the front of the team, the convoy reassembled and set off, Jiang Lintian had some expectations, is this Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang really selling human meat buns? He had some expectations, but most of the rumors were false.

About half an hour later, Jiang Lintian's convoy and his party came to the cross slope, and saw that the hotel was under a mountain beam, which was clean, and Xiao Er was also enthusiastic.

Jiang Lintian said: "It's okay, we will stay for one night, you can arrange it, can you call your boss out to talk." ”

As soon as Xiao Er heard this, he agreed repeatedly, and it didn't take long to see a man about thirty years old and of medium stature walking out of the room, and he didn't want Wu Song to shout happily when he saw it: "Brother Zhang, why are you here?" ”

The middle-aged man is Zhang Qing, who is known as the vegetable garden in the rivers and lakes, and when he heard Wu Song, he was also very happy, hugged Wu Song's shoulders and said: "Wu Song, how did I come to Yuncheng, didn't you learn art in Shaolin Temple?" ”

Wu Song said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, I have completed my studies in Shaolin Temple, and after bidding farewell to my master, I returned to Qinghe County and met my Brother Jianglin Tianjiang, so I didn't come to Yuncheng together." By the way, Brother Zhang, why did you come here to open a store, there is no village in front of you, no store in the future, do you have a business here? ”

"Oh, who am I, it turns out that you are here, uncle, Zhang Qing, go and let the guys kill pigs and sheep, and entertain the brothers." As he spoke, a young woman dressed in a coarse cloth garment walked out, looking about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, very enthusiastic and capable, and seemed to be a businessman.

Jiang Lintian saw that these two people didn't look like selling human meat buns, so he said: "The two are not only Wu Song's brother and sister-in-law, but also my Jiang Lintian's brother and sister-in-law, brother and sister-in-law, my Jiang Lintian is polite." ”

"Oh, this brother is the Jianglin Tianjiang official of the Five Tigers of Qinghe, Wu Er, I have heard about the deeds of your five brothers in Qinghe, you take a rest, I will let people prepare." Sun Erniang hurriedly ran into the inner room.

After a while, I saw a few guys drive out two fat pigs and three sheep and slaughter them in the open space in front of the hotel.

Wu Song saw Jiang Lintian's solemn face, so he said: "Big brother, don't worry, Brother Zhang used to grow vegetables at the foot of Songshan Mountain, and the money he sold often helped the poor villagers around. ”

Jiang Lintian nodded, and said to Wu Song in a low voice: "Wu Er, you find an opportunity to talk to Zhang Qing and his wife, whether he is willing to establish a foothold in Zengtou City, I will build a three-story restaurant when I arrive, and let him and his wife run it, but I have to let them agree to one condition for me." ”

"What conditions, big brother?" Wu Song asked.

"Hehe, let the two of them not sell human meat buns from now on." Jiang Lintian said with a smile.

"What?" Wu Song's face was incredulous.

"Just tell them, and they'll understand." Jiang Lintian patted Wu Song on the shoulder and motioned for him to go and say yes.

Wu Song walked into the room, he was happy for Zhang Qing and his wife, and since then he has settled in Zengtou City, and he doesn't have to run around and live a wandering life.

Not long after, Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang walked out of the room, and when they saw Jiang Lintian, Sun Erniang arched their hands and said: "Brother Jiang, my husband and wife listened to Wu Song's suggestion, then dare to be kind, my husband and wife originally brought some villagers out to ask for a living, although it is remote here, but you can grow some grain, vegetables, and feed some pigs and sheep later." As for what kind of human meat buns you are talking about, the guy in my store once slaughtered the meat filling, accidentally slaughtered the fingers, accidentally wrapped the fingernails in the meat filling, it happened that a person in the rivers and lakes ate here, scared to put down the chopsticks and run, since then, it has been rumored on the rivers and lakes that there is a black shop on the cross slope, the conscience of heaven and earth. ”

Jiang Lintian finally knew the origin of the human meat bun today, so he laughed: "Brother and sister-in-law, I see, so the rumors in the rivers and lakes are not credible, since you and your wife have agreed, let the guys get ready, how about going to Zengtou City with me tomorrow?" ”

Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang arched their hands and said: "Then thank you Brother Jiang, rest assured, you will definitely do a good job for Brother Jiang at that time." ”

Jiang Lintian laughed: "I think the two of them have misunderstood, and in the future, I will let you and your wife have full authority to operate, and we will talk about it in detail when we get to Zengtou City." ”

The couple looked at Wu Song with puzzled expressions, but Wu Song smiled and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, don't worry, with me Wu Song here, what are you afraid of?" ”

Sun Erniang said with a smile: "We believe in Wu Er, and we also believe in Brother Jiang. ”

The four of them laughed, in fact, the happiest person was Jiang Lintian, he could let Sun Erniang open this hotel all over the Song Dynasty, the information network of Fangbu Zengtou City, and the main opponent in the future was the Jurchen in the north, that is, Dajin, and if there was a chance in the future, he could also drive to the grassland.

As the twilight grew, Jiang Lintian and his entourage of more than 200 people were already sitting in the open air in front of the hotel, happily eating wine and food, this was the most sumptuous meal eaten all the way, the entourage was drinking spirits, eating pig and mutton, and the noise of fists echoed in the valley until late at night.
