And when they went out to the outside of the hall, the steward had already taken two minas of silver, twenty-five taels each.

One of the bankers also took a bundle of rods and put them on the ground.

Hong Jiaotou took off his clothes first, pulled up the hem, made a whack, looked at Lin Chong and shouted: "Come, come, come!" ”

Lin Chong also tied his clothes, bowed his hands to Shi Jin and Chai Jin, and took a stick on the spot, and said to Hong Jiaotou: "Please teach the head of the sect." ”

"Look at the stick."

How could the head of the Hong sect be angry, he drank it and came to rob Lin Chong.

Lin Chong saw that the head of the Hong Sect was impatient, and he didn't take it hard, so he looked back.

Hong Jiaotou rushed in, lifted the stick, and hit it down.

Lin Chong flashed over and took another step back.

Hong Jiaotou refused to give up, and it was another stick to catch up.

Lin Chong saw that his steps were out of order, and he jumped his stick from the ground.

Hong Jiaotou was caught off guard, was swept on the calf bone by the stick, and fell to the ground.

All the Zhuang guests blamed this Hong Sect head for having no one in his eyes on weekdays, and when they saw that he was now knocked over with a stick, they all laughed together.

Hong Jiao's face was red with shame, and he wanted to struggle, but there was less meat on his calf bones, and after eating a stick, the pain was terrible, how could he struggle for a while.

Chai Jin saw that Lin Chong was so good, and asked Zhuang Ke to help the head of the Hong sect go down to recuperate from his injuries.

Hong Jiaotou was helped up, and when he saw that all the villagers were smiling, he had no face to stay on Chai Jinzhuang anymore, and took his belongings and walked out of the village.

Chai Jin didn't ask about Hong Jiao's head injury, praised Lin Chong's martial arts, and asked the supervisor to give Lin Chong the loot.

Where was Lin Chong willing to accept this silver, he shirked it twice, seeing that Chai Jin insisted, and thought about asking for others, so he had to accept it.

Chai Jin invited the two of them to eat and drink inside, and talked about Lin Chong's martial arts.

Shi Jin said with a smile: "How can the martial arts of the head of the 800,000 forbidden army be compared to ordinary teachers, I am not afraid of your jokes, I have also passed through seven or eight famous masters before, but when I hit the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, Master Wang Jin, I was knocked over by him with just a stick." ”

Chai Jin smacked his tongue and said: "In the past, I only heard that the 800,000 forbidden army was powerful, and I didn't want to be so clever." ”

Lin Chong explained: "The head of the Hong sect is impatient and messes up his footwork, otherwise I wouldn't be able to knock him over with a stick. The same is true for Brother Shi Jin, we make sticks every day on the road, and it is not easy for me to win against Brother Shi Jin, it can be seen that Brother Shi Jin's past efforts have not been in vain. If you are cautious, you will never be knocked over by Wang Jiaotou. ”

Chai Jin said with a smile: "That being said, it also shows that Sect Leader Lin and Sect Leader Wang are powerful. I was fortunate enough to see the methods of Lin Jiaotou, and I should have a cup. ”

Since then, Chai Jin has become more enthusiastic about Shi Jin and Lin Chong.

After staying for another five or seven days, the two dukes urged them to do it, and before they also wanted to go to Cangzhou to sue the official and arrest Shi Jin. It's a pity that Chai Jin has already ordered that the Zhuangke accompany them all day long and not let them leave the Zhuangzi.

The two didn't dare to break in, so they could only dispel their minds.

Chai Jin put the table to see him off, and took out two letters during the banquet and handed them to Lin Chong and said: "Sect head Lin can take these two books down, and they will definitely look at the head of the sect." ”

Lin Chong thanked Chai Jin and accepted the letter.

Shi Jin also said: "I have been away from the mountain for a month, and there must be a lot of affairs to deal with in the village, so I will leave with Lin Jiaotou tomorrow." ”

Chai Jin nodded and said, "It's okay, it's not that I won't keep you." It's just that I'm afraid that the two dukes will leak the news, and the government doesn't dare to come to my village to get people, but I'm afraid that they will set up cards along the way to intercept the righteous soldiers. ”

Shi Jin also thanked Chai Jin for his kindness in the past few days.

Chai Jin asked people to bring fifty taels of silver to Lin Chong, and said to Shi Jin: "The righteous man is not short of gold and silver, and Chai Jin has nothing to give, only a few good horses bought from the Liao State. ”

Shi Jin was not polite, and Chai came in to the back corridor, picked a snow-white curly-haired horse, and said to Chai Jin: "Please also ask the senior officials to let people prepare the two horses when we came, I want to change horses all the way back." ”

Chai Jin said with a smile: "When the righteous man wants to hurry, choose two good horses." The horse dealers who come and go to Liao know that I love horses, but if there are good horses, they will be sent, and I don't want them to go in vain, and when they see good horses, they buy them. Actually, I only choose a horse to ride when I go hunting, and these horses are kept here and idle. ”

Shi Jin saw Chai Jin say this, so he chose two more horses.

Then the three of them went back to eat and drink, and ate until late at night, when the banquet was dispersed.

At dawn the next day, Shi Jin got up early and waited for Lin Chong in the courtyard.

Lin Chong came out and saw Shi Jin and asked early.

Shi Jin said: "I dreamed a dream last night, and Gao Yu would send Lu Qian to harm you." They will send you to guard a hay field, and if you are not prepared to set fire to the forage field, and want to burn you to death in it, even if you can't burn it, it is also a capital crime to burn the forage field. You can see if there is a mountain temple nearby, and at night, you can quietly go there to spend the night, not only to avoid a difficulty, but also to catch Lu Qian there for revenge. If you really reach that realm, you will come to Liangshan to look for me, and you are not afraid that Gao Yu will chase you to Liangshan. ”

Lin Chong heard Shi Jin's words, but he was a little incredulous.

Shi Jin looked at Lin Chong's expression and admonished: "I also know that this matter is not credible, but the dream last night was real." Lin Sect Leader must not be careless, once they transfer you to guard the forage field, you can look around and see if there is a mountain temple, and you will know if the dream can be fulfilled. ”

Lin Chong heard Shi Jin say this, nodded and said, "Okay, I must remember Da Lang's words." If Gao Yu still refuses to give up, I will definitely go to Liangshan and follow you to the heavens. ”

Because Luda did not become a monk, Lin Chong stayed in front of the Taiwei Mansion for five days, forcing Gao Yanei and Lu Qian not to dare to leave the mansion, and framing Lin Chong was a little earlier.

If Lu Qian came to harm Lin Chong again, Lin Chong might not be able to encounter the heavy snow that collapsed the grass hall and escape with his life. That's why Shi Jin pretended to be a dream and let Lin Chong avoid the possible fire.

Shi Jin took out a hundred taels of silver from the package and said, "The gold and silver I have brought with me have also been exhausted, and the head of the sect will take these silver first, and I will have someone send you some silver to use in a while." ”

Lin Chong hurriedly said: "Da Lang has given your sister-in-law a lot of gold when she was in Tokyo, and she also brought me a lot. ”

Shi Jin heard Lin Chong say this, so he had no choice but to give up.

The two said a few words, and Chai Jin had already asked people to invite them.

After breakfast, Chai Jin sent the two out of the village.

Walking to the main road, Shi Jin said to Lin Chong: "It's inconvenient for me to send you to Cangzhou again, so we will break up here, Lin Jiaotou take care." ”

Lin Chong had already brought the flail, bowed to Shi Jin, and said, "Brother, Lin Chong has a sense of guilt." Dalang is also careful on the road. ”

Chai Jin also said: "After some time, I will go to visit Sect Leader Lin when I have time." When the head of the Lin sect has something, he can ask someone to send a letter. ”

Lin Chong thanked Chai Jin for his kindness, and then took the road to Cangzhou with the two dukes.

Seeing Lin Chong leaving, Shi Jin also said goodbye to Chai Jin.

Chai Jin treated Shi Jin more attentively, and said with a smile: "I'll send the righteous man a few miles." ”

Shi Jin said: "Send you a thousand miles, and there will be a farewell." Let's say goodbye here, Shi Jin doesn't know if he should say a word? ”

Chai Jin smiled: "It's okay to talk about the righteous man. ”

Shi Jin said: "If there is a Danshu iron coupon in the family of a big official, no matter how big the sin is, there is no need to be afraid." It's just that now that the traitors and villains in the DPRK and China are in power, those gangsters are lawless, and when the big officials encounter trouble, they must also be cautious, so as not to be harmed by them. If necessary, send someone to deliver a sealed book, and I will definitely help. ”

Although Chai Jin was a little unimpressed, he even said that he had been taught.

Farewell to Chai Jin, Shi Jin hurried all the way to Liangshan.

There are more than 600 miles from Cangzhou to Liangshan, Shi Jin originally thought that he would get three good horses, ride them in turn, and he should be able to reach Liangshan Shan Po when it gets dark.

I don't want to run until sunset, I just entered the boundary of Gaotang Prefecture.

Seeing that he couldn't get to Liangshan in a day, Shi Jin rushed again, so he found an inn to rest and let Xiao Erhao feed the horses.

Early the next morning, Shi Jin went on the road again.

On this day, Shi Jin was no longer in a hurry, he walked all the way to rest, and came to the Lijia Road crossing in the evening.

Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang were enjoying the shade outside the hotel, and they couldn't help but look at one person and three horses coming up on the road.

Zhang Qing glanced at it a few times, saw that the three horses were tall, and said, "Three good horses, I don't know if this person is here to sell horses, or is passing by." ”

In the past few months, the news that Liangshan bought horses at a high price has spread in the rivers and lakes.

The war horses that can go into battle, Liangshan will buy them at a price two percent higher than the market price, and good horses are three to fifty percent higher than the market price.

Liangshan's reputation for doing the right thing for heaven and robbing the rich to help the poor has also spread, and the horse dealers are not afraid of being robbed by Liangshan.

Sun Erniang narrowed her eyes and said, "That person on the horse looks a bit like Brother Shi Jin." ”

"It's really Brother Shi Jin."

Zhang Qing fixed his eyes, shouted, jumped up and ushered forward.

Sun Erniang and several Huo families also followed.

Shi Jin saw Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang bring people to greet them, and they also kicked their horses and came forward.

When he arrived, Zhang Qing grabbed a step, held the horse, and said with a smile: "Brother is back." ”

Shi Jin jumped off the horse and arched his hand: "Don't come to harm, all the brothers in the cottage are okay?" ”

Sun Erniang said with a smile: "All of them are alive and well, but they haven't killed big families for a long time, and the brothers have no money to use, and the meat purchased by the hotels on the mountain is a lot less." ”

Shi Jin naturally knew that what Sun Erniang said was a bit exaggerated, although the gambling house and ** are both gold caves, but most of the cottage minions are people from poor backgrounds, and when they have money, they will save it in the cottage money village, and occasionally go to the mountain hotel to eat wine and meat, and they will definitely not run out of money to use.

However, those minions who often go to cottage hotels to eat and drink are likely to be squandered in gambling houses and **.

Shi Jin said with a smile: "I'm running out of money to use, so we'll choose a few big harms in the next few days." ”

Before he went to Tokyo, he only had more than 4,000 guan left, and he gave Lin Chong's lady a hundred taels of gold, and then removed half of it, plus Tokyo and the road used a few hundred guan, and now all his net worth is less than 2,000 guan.

In less than a year, he spilled out thousands of family fortunes, but he lived up to the name of generosity.
