Chapter Ninety-Seven: Song Jiang Joins the Gang

Song Jiang left Yuncheng County, and he had already calculated in his heart, so he didn't go back to Songjia Village, and went straight to Liangshan.

Ten miles away from the Li family crossing, you can see continuous grass huts, and from time to time you can also see a team of black-clothed and black-armored soldiers patrolling by.

Seeing the soldiers and horses of Liangshan, Song Jiang also breathed a sigh of relief, and the public officials of Yuncheng County categorically did not dare to chase here.

After walking for more than 40 miles in one go, Song Jiang was also tired enough, so he slowed down and walked into the settlement of Liangshan for the relief of the victims.

There are also many victims in Yuncheng County, although Yuncheng County is only fifty or sixty miles away from here, and the food here is better, but not all the victims dare to come to Liangshan.

As long as some victims do not die of hunger, they will accept relief from the imperial court, rather than from Liangshan, so as not to be taken by the public in the future.

Of course, there are also many victims who are so hungry that they can't stand it and come to Yangsan to receive relief.

Compared with the numb eyes of the victims outside Yuncheng County, the eyes of the victims here are much more colorful, and they also talk and laugh with each other.

Song Jiang felt a little like he had entered a village.

The front and back of the house are also clean, not as dirty and messy as the people living outside the county.

After walking for a few miles, there was peace everywhere.

Song Jiang was also secretly curious: "I don't know who governs this place, this kind of ability, even to be a governor, must be a problem." I only heard that there are many strong martial arts leaders in Liangshan, and I don't want to have people who govern the place. ”

In the middle of the line, I saw a team of Liangshan soldiers and horses coming in front, and the first big man was Chao Gai, the king of Tota.

Song Jiang saw Chao Gai and hurriedly walked up.

Chao Gai also saw Song Jiang and greeted him. He asked, "How did Brother Xian have time to come here?" ”

Song Jiang arched his hand and said: "The younger brother killed three people and came to join the gang." I also asked my brother to take me up the mountain. ”

Chao Gai said strangely: "Who did you kill?" ”

Song Jiang shook his head a little embarrassed and said, "It's a little embarrassing to say that Yan Po regretted that her old father was sick. I didn't have money to get medicine, so I spent some money to see a doctor as usual. It just so happened that I fell off my horse and was injured in those days, so Yan Po took care of me for a few days. I saw that Yan Poxi was also a well-behaved person, and I pitied her for being helpless, so I found a house and raised them, and I sent her father away.

I don't want this mother and daughter to be unhuman. actually secretly hooked up with Zhang Wenyuan, the priest who was in the same room with me, and became an adulterer. I used to hear some rumors, but I didn't believe it. You and my brother have not been in the county for a day or two, and who dares to insult us like this. I don't want to go to Yan Po Xi today, but I am bumping into the pair of adulterers and adulteresses, and Yan Po has to cover for them. In a fit of rage, I killed three people. ”

Chao Gai listened, nodded and said: "Such ungrateful adulterers and adulteresses really deserve to be killed, and it is good for my brother to kill them, just come to my Liangshan to do the right thing for heaven." Now I Liangshan is doing a great job. Brothers are not worried, there is no place for uselessness. ”

Song Jiang frowned and said, "I don't have my brother's martial arts, even if I go to the cottage, I don't know what I can do." ”

Chao Gai said with a smile: "The job is to be arranged by Brother Shi Jin, but Wu Xuexue and Gongsun Daochang can be in charge of money and food." The brother has been working in the yamen for many years, and he will never be idle. ”

Song Jiang nodded and said, "I don't want to be in charge of anything, as long as I can do something." ”

"We went up the mountain to see Brother Shi Jin, and we will know."

Present. Chao Gai asked his subordinates to continue patrolling, and he led Song Jiang to the mountain.

Didn't go far. I saw the front brigade coming, and the first person was Shi Jin, the lord of Liangshan. Behind him were seven or eight leaders such as Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Luda, and Wu Song.

"Could it be that the officers and soldiers are harassing us, let's go up and ask."

Chao Gai saw this battle, and took Song Jiang up with doubts.

A few zhang away, he saw Shi Jin waving his hand to restrain the soldiers and horses, turning over and dismounting and marching forward.

Chao Gai arched his hand and asked, "Brother, where are you going?" ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "Just now, the spies from Yuncheng County came to report that Song Zhisi killed three people in Yuncheng County, and now the whole county is a sensation." I'm afraid that the Song Jiang brothers will be taken by the duke, and they are about to take some soldiers and horses to Yuncheng County. ”

When Song Jiang heard this, he immediately bowed to the ground and said: "For Song Jiang alone, he alarmed the leader and many people, the leader is kind, and Song Jiang is unforgettable." ”

Shi Jin picked up Song Jiang and said: "Charge Si Ji to help the poor, it is a hero, I don't hesitate to fight Yuncheng County, that is, when I want to fight Jeju City." Now that we see Oshiji, we can rest assured. This is not the place to talk, let's go up to the cottage. ”

"Okay."

Shi Jin didn't ride a horse, so he walked side by side with Song Jiang and asked, "The scouts in the county heard that Oshisi had killed three people, so they hurried to report it, and I don't know who Oshiji killed?" ”

Song Jiang told Yan Po about the three of them again.

Shi Jin didn't expect that this time Song Jiang was even more ruthless than in the Water Margin, and actually killed Zhang Wenyuan and Yan Po.

After Song Jiang went back last time, Shi Jin asked the county spies to pay attention to Song Jiang's news.

He also knew that Song Jiang had raised Yan Poxi, and Yan Poxi had hooked up with Zhang Wenyuan, but he couldn't figure out why Song Jiang could bear it.

However, in this era, many people don't treat women as human beings, especially women outside their wives' rooms, and there are not a few who give away pregnant concubines like Su Dongpo.

Song Jiang is more generous, and it is not uncommon for him to give Yan Poxi to Zhang Wenyuan.

Before Shi Jin could speak, Wu Song on the side had already said: "This kind of adulterer and adulteress should be cut with a thousand knives." ”

Song Jiang saw that Wu Song was majestic and dignified, and couldn't help asking: "When I went up the mountain before, I didn't see this brother, and I asked this brother for his name?" ”

Chao Gai said: "This is Wu Song who fights tigers on Jingyang Gang. ”

Song Jiang listened and said, "If you are not such a hero, how can you fight the tiger." ”

Wu Song arched his hand and said: "My brother has won the award, and my younger brother has heard my brother's name before." Seeing it today is comforting. ”

Shi Jin was really a little afraid that Song Jiang would abduct Wu Song Zhao'an again, but after the Song River Water Margin killed people, he hid in Songjia Village, and later fled to Chai Jinzhuang, and went to Qingzhou to hide for a long time, but he didn't want to fall into the grass in every way, but this time he killed people but went straight to Liangshan.

The changes brought by his crossing are not small, and people like Luda, Zhou Tong, Lu Fang, Deng Fei, and Meng Kang who should have set up their own villages outside have also come to take refuge.

After Wu Song took revenge, he did not want to bow to the law, and wanted to come to Liangshan to do the right thing for heaven and kill all those corrupt officials and gentry.

I don't want this Song Jiang to squeeze into Liangshan.

Shi Jin is really a little afraid that Song Jiang will disturb the good atmosphere of Liangshan now, but this Song Jiang is too famous, and he Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Liu Tang, Zou Yuan, Zou Run, Yang Lin and other seven people are kind, and they are also kind to the cottage.

After Zhang Qing received the news and went up the mountain, he couldn't help but send troops to rescue.

However, he was also afraid that Wu Song would be confused by this Song Jiang again, so he interjected: "There are many new brothers in the cottage recently, and I will introduce them one by one later." ”

The group went to Dazhai, and Shi Jin asked people to invite all the leaders of the cottage to come.

The leaders from the rivers and lakes were all in awe when they heard the name of Song Jiang, while Lin Chong, Luda, Yang Zhi, Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, Peng Xi, Dang Shiying, Dang Shixiong and others, who were born as military generals in the imperial court, were just admired by Song Jiang for a long time.

In fact, Lin Chong and the others had never heard of the name of Song Jiang before they went to Liangshan, and only Luda had heard some of them when he was in Qingzhou.

However, now that there is a comparison of history, Song Jiang's reputation is indeed a little inconspicuous.

Song Jiang could also feel everyone's attitude, but he didn't care about Lin Chong and the others' coldness, and treated everyone very politely.

That night, Shi Jin arranged Song Jiang in the guest room.

During the banquet, Song Jiang also expressed his intention to join the gang, and Shi Jin naturally couldn't help but accept it.

However, in order to arrange Song Jiang's duties, Shi Jin also had a headache.

Song Jiang's martial arts are not high, so it is not suitable for him to lead the troops, so he can only be a civilian leader.

There is only Zhu Wu's military and political department in charge of the cottage civilian position, but Shi Jin really doesn't worry about letting Song Jiang be in charge of the military and political department, this Song Jiang is good at winning people's hearts, if he is allowed to take charge of the military and political department, he will be rewarded and punished, and he can't say how many leaders will be wooed.

If Song Jiang still wants to recruit An, there will be many leaders following him, but it will be a trouble.

After thinking about it for a long time, Shi Jin thought of the place to settle Song Jiang, and he couldn't let him have more contact with the leader of the cottage, so let him go to Bowai, first follow Xiao Jiasui to do some things to deal with the victims, and then go to Dongshan to manage the village.

With many victims ascending the mountain, Dongshan may no longer be called a village, although it is not yet comparable to some prefectures and counties, but it is still larger than most towns, and there are thousands of households.

Dongshan lives in cottage soldiers and horses, and managing Dongshan is also an important job.

After thinking about this, Shi Jin slept peacefully.

Early the next morning, Shi Jin practiced martial arts for a while, and then came to look for Song Jiang.

Song Jiang had a poor amount of alcohol, but he ate too much yesterday, and Shi Jin was still asleep when he came.

Shi Jin didn't let anyone wake him up, went to the back to eat, and then went to the martial arts arena to watch the infantry drills.

I heard that the minions in the guest room came to report that Song Jiang had woken up, so I came over.

Song Jiang saw Shi Jin coming, and confessed: "I was drunk yesterday, so I slept with it, and the leader Haihan." ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "It's okay, when the leader of the cottage doesn't train soldiers and horses, most of the brothers sleep until noon before getting up." ”

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Shi Jin said: "Brother Gongming has been in the yamen for many years, and he is also familiar with the affairs of governing the people. Now the primary task of the cottage is to relieve the victims, and Brother Gongming also saw that there are many leaders in my cottage who go into battle to kill the enemy, but there is a lack of literati. Now the more than 600,000 victims under the mountain are all supported by Mr. Xiao alone, so I would like to ask Brother Gongming to help Mr. Xiao deal with the disaster relief matter before. I don't know what my brother thinks? ”

Song Jiang also met Xiao Jiasui last night, and he was very impressed to hear that Xiao Jiasui alone took some people who had never worked in the yamen to govern the people outside the park in an orderly manner, and he heard Chao Gai say that Xiao Jiasui's martial arts were second only to Lin Chong, and Shi Jin was also very happy to let him work with this strange person, so he responded immediately.
