Chapter 2 Heroic Behavior
Shi Jin had already fused the memories in his mind, and knew the consequences of falling into the grass, so he couldn't bear to force everyone anymore, and said to the villagers: "Shi Jin killed people and fled tonight, and I'm afraid I can only settle down in the rivers and lakes in the future." Those who are willing to follow me will eat wine in large bowls, eat meat in large pieces, and divide gold and silver on scales. If you are afraid of a lawsuit, we will say goodbye here, Shi Jin will send ten taels of silver to each person, in order to be strong. ”
Zhu Wu and the others admired Shi Jin even more when they saw such righteousness.
As soon as the words fell, an excited Zhuang Ke shouted: "I am willing to follow the master, and I will not be afraid to be a public servant in the future." ”
Another dealer also shouted: "I am also willing to follow the master, in the future, it is not that we are not afraid of being a public, but that we are afraid of being a public." ”
"Hahaha."
The two sang and harmonized, which immediately caused everyone to laugh.
When the officers and soldiers besieged Zhuangzi before, they were mostly oppressed by the public on weekdays, and they were inevitably afraid to see two or three hundred people besieging Zhuangzi, but then they followed Shi Jin, Chen Da, and Yang Chun into the group of officers and soldiers, and they were excited when they saw that the officers and soldiers who had shown off their might before immediately hugged their heads and ran away.
It turns out that those who are public are just bullying honest people, and when they encounter someone with a knife, they will only run for their lives.
The household registration system of the Northern Song Dynasty was open, and as long as you lived in one place for one year, you could settle down, including Tokyo, which has a population of one million.
Therefore, many people of the Song Dynasty went to the countryside lightly and migrated to all over the world to make a living, but not many people felt that their homeland was difficult to leave.
There are bloodthirsty, and naturally there are cowardly.
A Zhuang Ke cautiously walked up to Shi Jin, knelt on the ground and said: "Master, the villain still has a wife and children at home, and I am afraid that the government will arrest them and ask me for guilt, so I ask the master to let me go." ”
Shi Jin picked up the banker and said with a smile: "Okay, then let's leave here." The public should not carefully track down my family's banker, but if someone goes to interrogate, you only say that the village is set on fire and escaped, and you don't know who followed me into the grass, so that the brothers don't show their roots. ”
Zhuang Ke saw that Shi Jin was really going to let him go, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, master, the villain must be tight-lipped like a bottle." ”
Shi Jin patted the banker on the shoulder and said, "Okay, then let's leave it at that, you take care." Shi Zhu, give him ten taels of silver. ”
Shi Zhu, who was carrying a soft little servant on his back, hurriedly took out ten taels of silver from the package and handed it to the banker who was leaving.
Zhuang Ke excused himself: "The master is already grateful for letting the villain go, how dare you take the master's silver again?" ”
Shi Jin took the silver, stuffed it into the hand of Zhuang Ke, and said with a smile: "It will not be in vain for our host and guest to be entangled on the road." ”
Zhuang Ke took the silver, bowed to the ground, and said, "Take care, master." ”
Shi Jin also arched his hand and said, "Take care." ”
Seeing that the first banker was not in the dark, Shi Jin did not start, and the bankers who did not want to fall into the grass walked out one after another.
Shi Jin didn't stop him, and each person sent ten taels of silver, and said goodbye one by one.
After walking more than a dozen people and seeing that no one came out again, Shi Jin smiled and said, "Are the rest of the people going to follow me?" ”
"Yes."
The more than 20 Zhuang guests left should be together.
Shi Jin said with a smile: "Okay, then we will not be the host and guest in the future, we are all brothers, brothers who share blessings and difficulties." ”
A banker arched his hand and called, "Brother." ”
"Brother."
Other bankers followed suit.
Shi Jin said with a smile: "The one left behind is twenty taels of silver, don't say much, the brothers go up the mountain to eat and drink together." ”
These bankers were still a little enthusiastic about the ten taels of silver taken by the people who left before, and when they heard that Shi Jin gave them twenty taels each, they had no doubts in their hearts.
Zhu Wu saw that Shi Jin deliberately fell into the grass, and hurriedly said, "Brother, please." ”
When everyone arrived at Shaohua Mountain, it was already three watches, but the cottage was brightly lit, except for the minions who were preparing the banquet behind, the rest of the people all came to greet the village.
Shi Jin also came to Shaohua Mountain Cottage for the first time, and by the light of the fire, he saw that there were wooden fences all around, one of which was a grass hall, and there were 100 grass houses behind.
The bankers of Shijiazhuang saw hundreds of minions lined up on both sides to greet them, and they all raised their heads one by one, not wanting to weaken their own momentum.
Zhu Wu and the three of them directly invited Shi Jin into the Juyi Hall, and saw that there were three chairs on the grass hall, which were the seats of Zhu Wu, Chen Da, and Yang Chun.
After entering the Juyi Hall, Zhu Wu arched his hand and said, "Please take the first seat for my brother." ”
"Please sit on the top of the table."
"Please sit on the top of the table."
Chen Da and Yang Chun also admired Shi Jin's martial arts and personality very much, and when they saw that Zhu Wu voluntarily gave up the top spot, they immediately agreed.
The Zhuang guests of Shijiazhuang couldn't help but smile when they saw that the three leaders of Shaohua Mountain had let Shi Jin sit in the first place.
Shi Jin has become a big leader, and they are naturally rising.
The small leader of Shaohua Mountain who followed up was not surprised.
The rivers and lakes talk about the respect of the strong, Shi Jin once captured the most powerful two leaders of the cottage alive, he was righteous and righteous, today he killed people and fled for the three leaders, if the three leaders did not let Shi Jin sit in this top spot, it would be strange.
Occupying the mountain as the king is a matter of licking blood from the edge of the knife, and it is also a good thing for them to have an additional leader with strong martial arts.
Shi Jin arched his hand and said: "Don't hide it from the three brothers, I am indeed ready to fall into the grass, but this Shaohua Mountain is next to the fifth road in Guanxi, if there is a big trouble, the court will transfer a border army, and the cottage will be hard." If I only rob some ordinary people, it is not the work of heroes, so I am not ready to settle in Shaohua Mountain. ”
The three leaders of Shaohua Mountain were all a little ashamed of what Shi Jin said.
Zhu Wu blushed and said, "What my brother said is that if it is not a last resort, we are not willing to rob ordinary people. I wonder if my brother has a good place to go? ”
Shi Jin said with a smile: "I heard that there are 800 miles of water in Shandong, the port is mixed, the waterway is difficult to distinguish, and the situation in Liangshan in the middle is sinister. If you occupy the mountain there and become the king, let alone say 35,000 officers and soldiers, even if there are 350,000 officers and soldiers, you can calmly resist the enemy. ”
Chen Da glared and said, "Is there really such a good place to go?" ”
Zhu Wu nodded and said: "Shandong does have 800 miles of water, which is caused by the breach of the Yellow River, but I'm afraid that there are fellow people in the rivers and lakes who have set up camp there, right?" ”
When Wu used to lure the three heroes of the Ruan family to rob the Birth Gang, Ruan Xiaoer once said that they had not gone to Liangshan to fish for more than a year, and now there are still nearly two years before Chao Gai and others robbed the Birth Gang.
Shi thought a lot on the way in, and said with a smile: "I haven't heard that there are people stationed there, but there are heroes there, and it is not difficult to find a place to settle down in Shandong." The officers and soldiers of Shandong and Hebei have not been fighting for a long time, and they did not attack the cottage, but they collided under the mountain, and they all fled. We kill corrupt officials and eliminate bad gentry there, eat wine in big bowls, and eat meat in large pieces, which is the behavior of heroes. ”
Hearing Shi Jin's plan, Zhu Wu immediately hugged his fists and said: "Brother Gaoyi, younger brother bows, I am willing to follow my brother before and after the saddle, and ask my brother to carry it." ”
He didn't have much ability, but he had learned some military books, was familiar with the art of war and strategy, and Chen Da and Yang Chun were forced by lawsuits and had to go up the mountain and fall into the grass.
Although he was regarded as the big leader by Chen Da and Yang Chun, because of his low martial arts, he couldn't suppress Chen Da, so Chen Da took people down the mountain to Shijia Village to borrow the road and was arrested that day.
A snake can't fly without a head, and a bird can't fly without wings.
If the order is not strict, it is a fluke not to be caught by the government and beheaded, so how can there be a way out.
In the past, he felt that although Shi Jin was righteous, he was a little reckless. I don't want to have such knowledge, coupled with Shi Jin's martial arts and personality, following Shi Jin is undoubtedly better than having a way out in Shaohua Mountain.
"I'll go with my brother too."
Chen Da didn't think much about it, since he beat Shi Jin to arrest him, and released him out of righteousness, he admired Shi Jin very much.
Now that Shi Jin is going to fall into the grass, the two of them can do one, so he naturally has to follow.
Yang Chun saw that Zhu Wu and Chen Da were leaving, thinking that it would be difficult for him to resist the enemy officers and soldiers if he stayed alone, so he arched his hand and said, "Please bring it, brother." ”
Shi Jin was also overjoyed when he saw that the three of Shaohuashan were willing to follow him, and hugged the three of them and said with a smile: "Okay, then the four of us will go to Shandong to do the way for the heavens together, so that the world will know our prestige." ”
"For the heavens? Okay, then I'll follow my brother to be a good man for heaven in the future. ”
Zhu Wu was forced to fall into the grass by the lawsuit, and in addition to struggling to survive, he lived in a daze.
Hearing the four words of Tianxingdao, he suddenly became enlightened, and his spirit suddenly improved a lot.
Chen Da and Yang Chun were also a little surprised when they saw that Zhu Wu, who had always been a little less heroic, suddenly changed people.
However, they were simple-minded, just happy for the reunion of the four.
"Please take a seat, brother, and let the children come and pay a visit."
After discussing the whereabouts, Zhu Wu brought up the old words again.
Shi Jin turned to look at the people in the Juyi Hall, and said with a smile: "Tonight, everyone has overturned all the cattle and sheep in the cottage, and I will eat and enjoy the moon together in front of this hall." Eat wine in a big bowl and eat meat in a big way, which lives up to this Mid-Autumn Festival. ”
"Okay, listen to my brother. The children went and killed the cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, and geese on the mountain, leaving only the horses. ”
Zhu Wu was the first to respond, everyone was going to Shandong, and these domestic animals couldn't be taken away, so they ate it as soon as they were served.
"Okay."
"Okay."
The small leaders of Shaohua Mountain could have a full meal when they heard it, and they all shouted at sky-high prices.
When the news reached the outside, there was another round of applause.
Although they are kings of the mountains, they do not live a comfortable life, and this is the first time they have lived such a luxurious life.
Soon, the cottage sounded bursts of animal dying screams, and the animals on Shaohua Mountain rushed into the distance with terrible screams.
The little minions were excited, as soon as Shi Daguan went up the mountain, everyone had a good life.
"If you have anything to think about, follow Brother Shi Jin. With Shi Jin's brother as the head, the days of eating wine in a big bowl and eating meat in a big piece have just begun. ”
"The three leaders are going to follow Shi Daguan and the people, and if we stay here, who can resist the officers and soldiers?"
"Leader Zhu Wu thinks it's good to follow Shi Daguan, can we be smarter than him?"
"When I go to Shandong, I have to pass through many state capitals in the middle, and if I am surrounded by officers and soldiers, how can I live?"
"The two heads of Huayin County were cut off by Leader Chen and Leader Yang with just one person and one knife, not to mention that there are more powerful officials in Shi, who are very afraid."
When Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, Chen Da, and Yang Chun were sitting in front of the hall eating wine, the little minions of the cottage were discussing the news spread from the small boss in twos and threes.
Water wine, water wine.
The water was mixed with some wine.
If it is put into modern times, this kind of wine will be scolded and stinky.
Everyone else is mixed with water, but you are mixed with water.
Fade out of a bird.
No wonder Wang Si, who was killed by Shi Jin before, was able to drink more than ten bowls in Shaohua Mountain, and then went down the mountain and bumped into a familiar little minion and drank more than ten bowls before he got drunk, and Li Ji took the letter.
Wu Song and Lu Zhishen's amount of wine is even more about barrels, such a weak wine, as long as he can put it down in his stomach, he can also drink a barrel.
Shi Jin drank this village brew that was as light as water, and saw that there were still some little minions on duty on the fence turned their heads to look at the wine banquet here, and said with a smile: "Let them all come down to eat the bar, those birds in Huayin County are only afraid that they are still trembling in the county seat, and they are afraid that we will go to the city, how dare they come to brush the tiger's whiskers." The officers and soldiers of Huazhou did not come so quickly. ”
Zhu Wu also felt that what Shi Jin said was reasonable, but he still didn't dare to be careless, and said to a small leader on the side: "Go and pass on Shi Jin's brother's order, let the guard's brother come to eat and drink, and don't leave the sword and gun." ”
Hearing Zhu Wu's order, Shi Jin also nodded secretly.
Zhu Wu didn't show any extraordinary strategy in the Water Margin, but only helped Liangshan's soldiers and horses break through the formation a few times.
Shaohuashan, as the first cottage to appear, has not grown in power.
Perhaps Zhu Wu was just a military advisor who was proficient in formations, not a resourceful military advisor, but Zhu Wu was cautious enough, and it could be said that he was not enterprising enough, and he was more than successful in defending.
At the beginning, Shi Jin captured Chen Da, but Zhu Wu thought that he could not defeat Shi Jin, so he and Yang Chun came to Shijia Village to tie their hands and use bitter meat tricks.
If Shi Jin is unmoved, he will have to dismiss them all and ask for rewards, which shows Zhu Wu's righteousness.
Now once he recognizes him as the leader, he immediately helps him establish his prestige, and his mind is delicate enough.
"Yes."
When the order reached the front of the village, it attracted a round of applause.
A few minions on duty walked to the place where the banquet was held in front of the hall, clasped their fists and shouted, "Thank you, Brother Shi Jin." ”
The minions in the back also clasped their fists and saluted.
Shi Jin put down the wine bowl in his hand, hugged his fists to the crowd, and shouted: "Tonight, everyone just eats wine in a big bowl and eats meat in a big piece. ”
"Okay."
"Brother Shi Jin is here, who dares to come and brush the tiger's beard."
"If there are those who are not afraid of death, the little ones will send them to see the king of Hades, why should Brother Shi Jin do it."
"Exactly, if there is something that doesn't open your eyes, Brother Shi Jin just eats and drinks, and also looks at our means."
The minions on the mountain saw Shi Jin's arrogance, and they all shouted in response.
Zhu Wu saw that Shi Jin had just gone up the mountain, and he made many little minions return to their hearts, and he was also very happy.
Brothers work together, and their profits are broken.
Righteousness and pride, if you want to convince these Jianghu men, both are indispensable.
In terms of righteousness, he thinks that he is no worse than Shi Jin, but this arrogance is far inferior to Shi Jin.
With such characters as the head, everyone will go wherever they go, and they will not worry about a place to settle down.
Yes, not only to settle down, but also to make a living.
It's what my brother said about doing the right thing for heaven.
The world is turbid, there is no place in the world to be reasonable, we can't clear up this situation, and we must let the people of the world know what justice is, so as not to lose this man's body.
Thinking of this, Zhu Wu also felt arrogant, raised the bowl, and said to Shi Jin: "Brother, I'll eat a bowl with you." ”
"Okay."
Shi Jin grabbed the bowl, touched it with Zhu Wu, and drank it all.
