Chapter 42 People from Hebei

Looking at the chariot and horse shopkeeper pointing in the direction of Liangshan, Wu Gao instantly understood, it turned out that he was not the first to seek Liangshan's protection, and thanked the guy at the moment and beckoned his people to hurry up and eat. www.biquge.info It's just that he still has doubts in his heart, could this be fake news deliberately made by Liang Shan?

Before eating two bites of food, Wu Gao saw two people at the next table get up and walked towards him, just when Wu Gao asked the guy's words, he thought that the guests at this table had been looking at him, and now there were two people walking towards him, looking at the one in the back, with a big knife on his waist, walking with a powerful appearance, I am afraid that he is not a good stubble.

After going south and north for so many years, Wu Gao has long understood that it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a truth that disasters cannot be avoided, so naturally he is not a person who is afraid of things, and now that he is in trouble, he can't hide if he wants to, so he got up and arched his hand at the moment: "I don't know if the two of you are coming, what advice do you have?" ”

I saw that the leader squinted, this person was already a fat face, and this squinting eye made his eyes smaller, but it could give people a kind feeling. Seeing Wu Gao get up, this person replied unhurriedly: "In Xia Qiao Daoqing, he is a merchant from the Northland, and this time, like Your Excellency, he will also pass through this Liangshan, why don't we go over together, so we can support each other?" ”

When Wu Gao heard that this was the case, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that this group of people is tall, but the number of people is not as large as their own, they are not afraid, and now they have to pass through Liangshan, and it is good to have more people to take care of them. I saw Wu Gao laughing and said: "I see, it's okay to go together, it's just that my brother is looking at it, I don't know where it is, what kind of business is it doing?" ”

Qiao Daoqing touched his beard, coughed lightly and said, "It's just a small business, selling some ginseng in Jizhou to sell in the south, what's the matter, is Brother Tai also interested?" ”

Wu Gao temporarily put his mind at ease, the ginseng trade in Jizhou should not be known to people nearby, and there should be no problem with this Qiao Daoqing. After discussing it with Qiao Daoqing at the moment, he decided to leave for Liangshan early tomorrow morning.

What Wu Gao didn't know was that the guy who was obviously a bit of a philistine in front of him, after taking the silver and returning to the back hall, immediately found the shopkeeper, and reported that there was a merchant in the store who planned to leave Liangshan, and seeing that he had brought a lot of goods, the cottage should be able to make a lot of money! The shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent someone back to Liangshan to report the news.

It turned out that this carriage and horse shop was actually opened by Liangshan, and Fang Cai's partner was a clever minion selected by Zhu Gui, in fact, Wu Gao should be the first businessman to seek Liangshan's protection tomorrow.

And Qiao Daoqing is an old Jianghu in the end, and it didn't take long to feel wrong when he arrived at this carriage and horse shop, and this carriage and horse shop was not far from Liangshan, but it was still on a major road, so he immediately became suspicious, and then listened to the guy's answer, and was even more sure that this was the eyes and ears set by Liangshan.

This time Qiao Daoqing was sent by Tian Hu to redeem people, and he happened to see this scene, when Li Jing let go of his uncle and nephew's life, Qiao Daoqing has always been grateful, he saw that Wu Gao was a little hesitant, although he didn't understand what Li Jing wanted to do, but he still deliberately helped.

When Zhu Gui told Li Jing the news, it was already evening, and Li Jing was very excited when he saw that there were businessmen willing to pass by Liangshan, with the first one, would the second one be far away, although the first one was still deceived. You must know that these 800 miles of Liangshan Bo are connected to the north and south, and I don't know how many business trips pass through every year, and if it really develops, Liangshan doesn't know how much income will be increased in expanding the scope of protection to several nearby states and counties.

At this time, there were a lot of miscellaneous taxes, not to mention that merchants had to pay taxes when they entered the city, and there were checkpoints on many important roads, and what Li Jing wanted to do was to destroy some checkpoints in Jeju and Gwangju. Most of the checkpoints were privately set up by officials to collect money for themselves, but they were not worried about alarming the imperial court.

On the second day, Wu Gao and Qiao Dao set off early in the morning, and the Liangshan people also began to clean up the nearby checkpoints, which are not very far from Tokyo, and there are not many checkpoints, but it is also convenient to clean up.

Wu Gao, Qiao Daoqing and others walked for less than two hours, and they saw a hotel not far away, and it didn't take long for the two groups to approach the hotel. At this moment, three people came out of the hotel, and the first one came to Wu Gao and asked slowly, "Are you looking for my business trip escorted by Liangshan?" ”

Wu Gao saw that this person was dressed, obviously a leader, and immediately arched his hand: "Exactly!" Precisely! The reward is ready. As he spoke, Wu Gao took a bag of gold and silver from a fellow next to him and handed it to the leader. Then he asked, "I don't know what the king is called?" ”

The leader opened the package in front of Wu Gao, saw that it was full of gold, weighed the weight, and said with a smile: "The king doesn't dare to be, you call me Zhu Chief." Where are you going? Tell me, and I'll send someone to escort you!" ”

Wu Gao saw that this Zhu leader was directly to the topic, and he was even more relieved, and replied: "The villain wants to go to Jiangning Mansion and pass through Xuzhou first." ”

Wu Gao nodded when he saw this Zhu leader, took out half of the gold and silver from the package and handed it to the minions behind, and handed the package to himself. Where did Wu Gao dare to take it, he hurriedly excused himself, and then Leader Zhu noticed that he was abrupt, and hurriedly explained: "These gold and silver are not given to you for free, I just want to invite you to meet familiar merchants, you can tell them about the situation here, if you pay more honorarium, it will be a farther state and county, and I will go to Liangshan!" ”

Wu Gao saw that this Zhu leader had a proud look, but he still refused to accept it, and only said that he would definitely help publicize it, until Zhu Leader put on the posture of the king of the mountain, Wu Gao accepted it.

Leader Zhu whistled, Wu Gao saw another team of minions coming out of the hotel, exactly ten people, and Leader Zhu ordered the leader to take Wu Gao to the south in front of Wu Gao. After all these twists and turns, Wu Gao no longer had doubts about Liangshan's affairs in his heart, but he looked at Qiao Daoqing who was walking with him, but saw Qiao Daoqing bowing his hand to him and asked him to go first.

Wu Gao was puzzled, but when he saw Liangshan's minions waiting, he didn't say much, and took his men to follow the minions to the south.

When Wu Gao walked away, Qiao Daoqing bowed his hand to Leader Zhu and said: "Please also ask Leader Zhu to report to Lord Li Zhai, and Qiao Daoqing, under the command of Tianhu in Hebei, come to worship." ”

About Bian Xiang, Leader Zhu also knew about it, and he didn't slack off, so he replied: "Call Zhu Gui under your name, and Mr. Qiao can call him by his real name." He also invited Qiao Daoqing and his entourage to sit down at the hotel, and sent someone up the mountain to report to Li Jing.

Li Jing was waiting for Zhu Gui's good news on Liangshan, and saw that Zhu Gui sent someone to report that someone from Hebei was coming, named Qiao Daoqing, and now he was in the hotel under the mountain.

To be honest, Li Jing admired Qiao Daoqing very much, and heard that Tian Hu sent Qiao Daoqing to come, so he hurriedly went down the mountain to greet him.

Qiao Daoqing was drinking tea with the man with a knife in the hotel at this time, and there was no one else in the store, when he heard a commotion outside, and before he got up, he saw a person appear in front of the hotel, it was Li Jing.

Qiao Daoqing immediately bowed down and said, "Qiao Daoqing greets Engong!" ”

Li Jing didn't have time to stop him, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and after some greetings, Li Jing saw that a man next to Qiao Daoqing was staring at him, and Qiao Daoqing did not shy away from this person, and asked, "Sir, who is this?" ”

Qiao Daoqing pulled this person in front of Li Jing and introduced: "This brother's surname is Jiang Mingwei and Zifan. ”
