Wang Bodang and Qin Qiong are brothers in life and death.

Qin Qiong wanted to sell salt, but Wang Bodang didn't even think about it. But after thinking about it, I also felt that I was a little sloppy.

Yanchi here, although it is not a government mansion or a military camp, there are many rules.

As soon as Wu Yongyi said the amount of salt needed, Wang Bodang expected that Qin Qiong would buy salt for the government.

There are rules on the private salt road, and thieves sell thieves rather than officials and businessmen. Selling smuggled salt is a crime, and eating this bowl of rice would rather deal with thieves and thieves than do business with officials and nobles.

Wang Bodang agreed to help Qin Qiong, not only because of brotherhood, but also because of impulsiveness.

However, the eldest husband spits a nail in one mouthful, not to mention the people in the rivers and lakes, what they pay attention to is faithfulness. Since Wang Bodang promised Qin Qiong, he must help to the end. Even if you risk your life, you have to help. This is righteousness and faith.

On the way to find Shi Jin, Wang Bodang thought twice and decided to ask the matter first.

Separately looking for Qin Qiong and Wu Yong, Wang Bodang asked bluntly whether he was helping the Taiyuan County Government buy salt.

Wu Yong had long known that he couldn't hide this, and Qin Qiong didn't want to deceive his friends. The two told each other the truth, and also said good things about Taiyuan Taishou Liu Mang.

Hearing that Qin Qiong had taken refuge in Liu Mang, Wang Bodang was very complicated, he was both envious of Qin Qiong and very sorry for Qin Qiong.

In fact, not only Wang Bodang, but every hero may have similar thoughts.

The rivers and lakes and temples are too far away, and they can even be said to belong to two worlds.

Most of the people in the rivers and lakes are adaptable to or can't stand the secular society, so they will think of breaking away from this deceitful society and joining the rivers and lakes.

The rivers and lakes and the temples are very close because they are extremely similar.

There are laws in society, and there are rules in the rivers and lakes. There is open and secret fighting in society, and there is blood and rain in the rivers and lakes.

It is precisely because of this that the rivers and lakes have another name - black. Society.

People in the rivers and lakes are not accustomed to the darkness of the real society, but also cannot completely get rid of the real society. For the real society, both hate and yearn.

Wang Bodang's view of Qin Qiong's defection to Liu Mang is this.

Hedong is very close to Taiyuan, and Liu Mang's actions in Yanmen and Taiyuan have long been heard by Wang Bodang.

Speaking from the heart, Wang Bodang has a good impression of Liu Mang. However, if Wang Bodang is asked to take refuge in Liu Mang, Wang Bodang can't do it. I can't pull off my son, and I am reluctant to live a free and easy life now.

However, as an eight-foot man with a good martial arts, who doesn't want to gallop across the country, make achievements, and go down in history?

Wang Bodang envied Qin Qiong, but also felt sorry for him.

People in the rivers and lakes, once they become officials, they are no longer the same people.

Jinan Qin Qiong Qin Shubao, heroic and righteous, with all his heart and gall, what a magnificence!

However, Qin Qiong followed Liu Mang, who is an official person, and is no longer the number one person in the rivers and lakes. From now on, the resounding name of Jinan Qin Shubao will fade out of the rivers and lakes......

Pity......

……

However, the current Qin Qiong is still the same Qin Shubao, and Uncle Wang is duty-bound on him.

asked to understand Qin Qiongwu's purpose of buying salt, Wang Bodang weighed it again and again, and decided that he had to communicate with Shi Jin.

Qin Qiong asked for too much salt, and if she didn't give Shi Jin the truth, once she went on a business trip, Shi Jin would get into trouble.

Helping a friend and harming another friend, this kind of thing, Wang Bodang can't do.

Wang Bodang made up his mind, and then at the wine table, he retired from the idle people and others, and revealed the truth to Shi Jin.

"Da Lang, Uncle Bao, they ask for too much salt, I can't help but explain it first."

"What?" When Shi Jin heard this, the expression on his face changed, and he was embarrassed. "San Lang, what can I do with this?"

"Brother, things are easy to do, I won't trouble you."

Wang Bodang didn't say much.

Between friends in the rivers and lakes, what is important is friendship and faithfulness. After saying what needs to be said, friends will naturally make a trade-off between affection, morality and the rules of the rivers and lakes.

To put it bluntly, the words are clear, the difficulties are clear, whether Shi Jin helps or not, it is all up to Shi Jin to decide.

Shi Jin helped, Wang Bodang owed Shi Jin a great favor, and one day, he would give up his life and repay this favor.

This matter is too much to do, Shi Jin doesn't help, and he doesn't have anything to say. In the future, we will still be brothers and friends.

This is the way of the rivers and lakes.

……

Shi Jin is embarrassed......

Unlike Chao Gai, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang and others, Shi Jin was born in a large family.

Although there have never been high-ranking officials in the family, Hongnong Huayin is a well-known family.

When he was young, he had no worries about food and clothing, and he was good at dancing and playing with guns, and his family invited a teacher for him to teach martial arts.

Shi Jin is a standard rich generation, and he has also practiced martial arts, coupled with the young madness, it is inevitable that there will be some outrageous behaviors.

However, if you mess with a little bit of general trivialism and spend some money at home, it will be settled. It's just that a few years ago, Shi Jin caused a big incident!

The young man loves to be romantic, and Shi Jin loves to haunt Goolan Washer when he has nothing to do, spending money like dirt, and enjoying drunken gold fans. Just because of a beautiful maiko, Shi Jin was jealous of others, and on the spur of the moment, he killed someone by mistake.

If you kill ordinary people, forget it. What Shi Jin killed turned out to be the younger brother of Dong Zhuoxinna's concubine!

At that time, although Dong Zhuo did not enter the imperial court, he was also a former general of Taixiang, who was famous for Yongliang. Dong Zhuo not only has power, but also has soldiers and money. didn't listen to the historian's plea for reconciliation with money, and directly found a reason to slaughter the historian.

Up and down the Shi family, only Shi Jin ran away. The property of the Shi family is all owned by Dong Zhuo.

Shi Jin had no way out, was forced to fall into the grass, and took refuge in Chao Gai, who was still a small salt dealer at the time. After years of hard work, it took him to gain a foothold in Yanchi.

Shi Jin didn't want to be a smuggler and a bandit for the rest of his life. However, Shi Jin and Dong Zhuo have a family feud, as long as Dong Zhuo is in power for one day, Shi Jin will never come out.

Shi Jin didn't want to be a smuggler of salt, but there was no other way out, he could only keep the existing small cottage for survival.

……

The amount of salt Qin Qiong wanted, and the location where they were going to transport it. Although he didn't say it explicitly, Shi Jin was clear in his heart.

Ordinary salt sellers simply can't eat such a large amount of goods.

Yuan Shao's blockade of the salt road in Jizhou is best known to Yanchi.

Like Wang Bodang, Shi Jin expected that even if Qin Qiong did not take refuge in the Taiyuan government, he was entrusted by the Taiyuan government to do things for the government.

What makes it difficult for Shi Jin is still that sentence: selling thieves and thieves does not sell officials and businessmen.

But......

Although Wang Bodang and Shi Jin belong to different leaders, they have the best relationship.

And Qin Qiong's face, Shi Jin can't help but give it......

Shi Jin picked up a bowl of wine, didn't respect others, and drank it slowly......

Drink out.

Shi Jin gently put down the bowl, picked up the towel, wiped his mouth, and smiled slightly. "Uncle Bao's business is my business."

"Brother Da Lang, Qin Qiong ......" Qin Qiong choked up. Heroes in the rivers and lakes are not afraid of knives and guns, not afraid of death and injury, and afraid of their friends' righteousness!

A promise, the life and death of friends are tied together!

"Dalang." It is not only Qin Qiong who owes Shi Jin favors, but also Wang Bodang.

Qin Qiong Wang Bodang picked up the wine bowl, saluted Shi Jin from afar, and drank it all.

"I'll take care of it." Shi Jin said calmly, "But I can't get this amount, so I have to ask for help." ”

"Who?"

"Lin Jiaotou."
