Chapter 61: The Messenger

"San Lang, if you pacify Song [***] Kou this time, what are you going to do if you become this Jiupin Bao Yilang?" Zhou Ping joked with a smile.

"Of course, it's the first choice to marry a concubine!" Xue Liangwu replied as a matter of course: "Look at the little lady of Kaifeng Mansion, the water-like offspring, the mother-in-law of my family is far away, and she will definitely marry back, so that she can rub it back." ”

"Huh!" Zhou Ping laughed when he heard this, and was about to say a few words, when there was a sound of footsteps outside, he hurriedly stood up, only to see a twenty-seven or eight-year-old Pianpian Jia Gong coming from outside, followed by two servants, and said in a deep voice: "Are you two Brother Han's messenger?" ”

Zhou Ping and Xue Liangwu hurriedly bowed down: "It's the villain!" ”

"Well, I've already read Brother Han's letter!" Na Jia Gongzi said with a smile: "I will talk about my father's affairs, and he will do it directly to appease Song [***] Kou, don't worry about my father, the important affairs of the court are important!" ”

"Yes!"

"This is my letter to Brother Han, you can bring it back to Jeju!" Na Jia Gongzi smiled slightly: "Originally, you two came from afar, and you should be allowed to stay in Tokyo for two days, but the matter of appeasement is very urgent, you two pack up and leave quickly!" ”

"Yes!" Zhou and Xue hurriedly bowed down to obey the order, the boy nodded, and then turned to leave, Xue Liangwu asked one of the servants left, "Dare to ask, who is this person?" ”

The servant sneered: "You don't even know him, and you still sent him a letter, this is the fifth son of the Taishi, the Xuanhe Hall of Emperor Shangmao De to be controlled Cai Gong Cai Gongzi!" ”

"Presumably this person is the husband of Fang Cai's beauty!" When Zhou Ping heard this, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable weird feeling in his heart, compared to other scholars he had seen, this Cai Wugongzi could be said to have the most kind attitude towards him as a martial artist, but I don't know why, Zhou Ping was difficult to have a good impression of him.

A few days later, Jang Ga-he-he-sung outside Jeju City.

In the study, a pretty maid crushed tea cake was poured into the tea bowl, and then a small amount of boiling water was injected, and the boiling water was mixed with the tea leaves to form a thick paste, and then the maid poured a large amount of boiling water into the tea bowl, and at the same time used the tea whisk to rotate and blow the tea soup in the tea cup, the whole process of the maid's movements with a beautiful rhythm, the surface of the tea soup remained in its original state, that is, Zhou Ping, a complete layman, was also quite pleasing to the eye.

"Prison Zhou, my maidservant is also famous in Jeju for her kung fu in tea fighting?" Zhang Jiahe said with a smile: "I don't know if Zhou Prison can still look at it? ”

"Lang Jun smiled!" Zhou Ping smiled bitterly: "I was born in a farmer's family, it would be good to have a big bowl of tea to quench my thirst, where do I know what to fight tea!" ”

"It turns out that the prisoner is from a poor background!" Zhang Jiahe said with a smile: "But heroes are not afraid of low backgrounds, isn't Wu Xianggong (referring to Di Qing) of this dynasty also born poor, and in the end, he is also a very popular minister, who knows that the prison can't be the same?" ”

"Lang Jun has been promoted, how can he be in Xiade, how can he dare to compare with Wu Xianggong!" Zhou Ping smiled bitterly, but he was secretly scolding in his stomach: "It's not good for you to compare anyone, but you want to take Di Qing, a decrepit ghost, who was forced to death by civil officials in the position of privy envoy with rumors." ”

"The world is unpredictable, and there is no need to be too arrogant in detention." Zhang Jiahe took out a letter from his arms and handed it over: "This is the news from Liangshan from Li Cheng!" ”

"Oh!" Zhou Ping came over like a treasure, looked at it carefully, and thought about it. Zhang Jiahe on the side smiled: "How? ”

"Some inside information among the thieves." Zhou Ping replied casually, and suddenly he said in a low voice: "If Lang Jun is willing to help, the Liangshan thieves will not be able to peace!" ”

Jeju Prefecture Soldiers and Horses Detention Office Yamen.

"Brother Kong, after you arrive in Liangshan, you can go to the restaurant in Tiegun Village and send Zhang Daguan's letterhead, and you can act when you have the opportunity to go up the mountain. Li Cheng has already gone up the mountain first, and he will answer you if there is something. Zhou Ping sat down and ordered to the first man who bowed his hands and obeyed orders.

"The villain obeys!" The man crossed his hands to receive the order, he was wearing a round-necked robe, a wide shoulder underneath, carrying a Fan Yang hat and a burden on his back, and carrying an iron-headed long stick in his hand, looking like he was going to go far away.

"Okay, let's go!" Zhou Ping nodded, he watched the man walk out, turned around and walked to the back of the hall, and after a while, he had changed into a pair of similar clothes, walked outside the courtyard, and ordered the more than thirty men dressed as merchants in the courtyard: "Pack up your belongings, have lunch and go!" ”

"Whoa!" The crowd shouted in unison.

At this time, someone next to him said: "Ah Ping! ”

Zhou Ping looked back, but it was Xue Liangchen, only to see his face with a worried face, and said: "There are hundreds of thieves on Liangshan, how can you only bring more than 30 people!" ”

Zhou Ping said with a smile: "Lang Jun, please rest assured, although there are many thieves, I don't fight with him, and what are I afraid of him doing?" Song Jiang is quite popular with the people of Liangshanbo, if there are many people, the news will leak! ”

"Okay." Xue Liangchen nodded: "It's just that I'm not worried about that Zhang Jiahe, this guy is only afraid that he will be involved in the ** character, if he leaks his brother's affairs, won't it hurt your surname?" ”

"Lang Jun rest assured, that Zhang Jiahe also knows the stakes, Song Jiang is on the Liangshan Bo, threatening the imperial court, sooner or later he will be exterminated by the officials, and the previous communication with him is nothing more than not being able to make a profit from it. This time, I negotiated with him, as long as he helped us and others to exterminate Song Jiang, he would naturally have his benefits. ”

"People's hearts are separated from their bellies-" Xue Liangchen was about to talk about it again, but was cut off by Zhou Ping's deep voice: "With the identity of you and me, how can there be wealth sitting at home?" Even if there is a risk, I can only give it a go, and I ask Lang Junan to sit in the city and wait for my good news! With that, Zhou Ping shook himself to the ground, got up and left.

Liangshanbo.

This Liang Shanbo is also known as Tateerwa, Dayozawa, Juyeze, Ansan Lake, Dongping Lake, the siltation of later generations only leaves a small piece of Dongping Lake today, this place is close to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the west, connects the Dawen River in the east, and leads to the Yellow River in the north, which is the hub of Caoyun. At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty built the capital of Kaifeng, with a million Dingkou, and went far into the past, although the Han and Tang dynasties could not reach it. In addition, Kaifeng is located in Pingping, and there is no danger to defend, so the two founding ancestors are guarded by the world's elite soldiers, and there are no less than hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops guarding the vicinity of Kaifeng. But in this way, river transportation became a major event related to the lifeblood of the Northern Song Dynasty, and all kinds of wealth and grain goods transferred from Tianxia Prefecture and County led to the heart of the empire along the rivers, making Kaifeng a miracle of an agricultural society at that time. And now that there are thieves in Liangshanbo, they can attack the prosperous water transport ships through convenient waterways and obtain huge benefits, which is why Song Jiang is just a small bandit with hundreds of people, which can disturb the chickens and dogs of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time.

Iron Gun Village. Liangshan Bo waterside, because of the legend that the birthplace of the famous Liang general Iron Lance Wang Yanzhang is nearby, the locals built a temple here to worship this fellow villager, called the Iron Spear Temple. Later, the temple gradually fell into disrepair, and the locals called it Iron Gun Village. A few years ago, a man came from Jeju and opened a restaurant by the water next to the village, and by the way, he also collected some local fish to do some illegal trading.

Like most of these small hotels in the Great Song Dynasty, this restaurant was just a wild house near the water, somewhat tattered, the thatch showed a kind of broken jet black after being soaked in the rain, most of the pavilion hung diagonally in the water, the wooden railing was old and almost black, and under the railing, a small boat was tied, which was very common near Liangshanbo.

On this day, it was the day of the Wei, and the fishermen in the vicinity came to this restaurant with their fish goods, sold the fish, bought some daily necessities such as salt and tea, and ate a glass of water and wine in the store by the way. Because of the Songjiang uprising, the nearby officials did not dare to come to the water to collect taxes, because the nearby fishermen were much better off than in previous years, and they also had a few pennies in their hands. Fishermen know that the salt tea sold is much cheaper than that of the government, and many people are willing to buy it here.

At this time, a strong man walked over on the road, with a figure of more than seven feet, a stocky body, a soap robe, wearing a Fan Yang hat, carrying a big burden, carrying a waist knife on his waist, and carrying an iron-tipped rod in his hand, dressed as a guest from afar. The man walked to the pavilion, looked at the hanging wine stick, and shouted at the top of his voice: "This is the Shunlu Restaurant in Iron Spear Village?" ”

A guy greeted him and said with a smile: "Yes, the guest officer wants to be sharpened?" ”

The strong man continued to ask: "Then the owner of your shop is surnamed Lu Mingxun?" ”

When the guy saw that the strong man didn't look like he was going to eat, and he had a foreign accent, his face became ugly, and he said coldly: "Exactly, do you have something?" ”

"That's it!" The strong man smiled and said, "Quickly make two good wines for me, and pick some delicious meat dishes." Tell your host a sentence for me, and say that I was sent by Zhang Daguan outside Jeju City, and I ask him to help me if I have something! ”

When the guy heard the words "Zhang Daguan outside Jeju City", his face suddenly became attentive, and he hurriedly took out a table from the pavilion and put it on the river beach, wiped it carefully, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, please wait, the wine and food will arrive soon, and the owner will go to a nearby village to buy fresh fish, and it will take another hour to come back!" ”

The man sat down cross-legged on the bench with a big grin, put the package on the table, and patted the table and said, "It's okay, quickly send the wine and food, a certain family has been on the road all morning, and they are hungry." ”

"Great!" The little two answered, and after a while, the wine and food were presented like flowing water, and the man was chewing according to the case, and was eating happily, when suddenly someone on the side whispered: "I don't know what this guest officer is looking for?" "2014 is here, and Webb wishes you all good health and all the best in the new year. I also hope that everyone will continue to support "Shogunate Storm", Weber is not a person who likes nonsense, the task of the writer is to code words well, write good things, this book is about to be on the shelves, I hope book friends will subscribe. To be honest, when I think that as soon as books in the online literature industry are put on the shelves, 90% of readers often go to see pirated copies, and only 10% of people pay for subscriptions, I feel very painful, how can such an industry still exist?
