Shi Jin felt that when he was willing to spend more gold and silver, most of the people in Shaohua Mountain would not swallow their anger and let the officials blackmail, and sooner or later they would be killed.

Rather than this, it is better to rush through with great fanfare, and the tax card officials will inevitably flee from the wind, which will save a lot of trouble.

"Alright, then we'll get there. It's just that we don't know what the situation is in Liangshan Shuibo, so why don't we divide some people to take the first step and go to investigate. If there was no one in Liangshan, the brothers who arrived first would buy some grain and boats in nearby villages and towns for everyone to use. If anyone robs a house there, we will sweep away the people and sweep them away. If we are ordinary heroes, we will find another place and set up camp. ”

Shi Jin also didn't know whether Wang Lun was stationed in Liangshan, and when General Shi Yong sent a letter to Song Jiang, he said that he lived in Chai Jinzhuang for more than four months three years ago, and it should be this year. At that time, Wang Lun, a white-clothed showman, and Tian Duqian should not have set up a camp in Liangshan, otherwise Chai Jin would have recommended him to go to Liangshan to join the gang.

In addition, when Wu Yong went to earn Sanruan, Sanruan said that he would not go to Liangshan Shuibo to fish for more than a year, and Wang Lun would settle in Liangshan for nine times out of ten for next year.

At least now the rivers and lakes have not heard of anyone falling grass in Liangshan, but it is not ruled out that Wang Lun and Du Qian have arrived in Liangshan, but the momentum is still relatively small.

If that's the case, Shi Jin doesn't mind sweeping them up or annexing them.

Corrupt officials and inferior gentry should be killed.

The scum of the rivers and lakes who robbed homes and houses and disregarded people's lives should also be killed.

Zhu Wudao: "This matter is very important, I am willing to bring some brothers to investigate." ”

Shi Jin was also thinking about Zhu Wu, the white flower snake Yang Chun wanted to lead the way, and the jumping tiger Chen Da was a little reckless, seeing that Zhu Wu was willing to go this way, he smiled and said: "Brother Zhu Wu goes, there is no mistake." However, the road is not smooth now, and the Chen Da brothers are invited to accompany the Zhu Wu brothers to go through this experience. ”

Chen Da saw Shi Jin speak, but he didn't say much, and arched his hand: "Okay, it's all up to my brother's orders." ”

Zhu Wu said: "My brother wants to take everyone through the state, and when it is time to employ people, let Brother Chen Da go with my brother." I'll take a few crack brothers with me. ”

Shi Jin smiled: "As long as there is no delay on the road here, there should be nothing to do." But you should pay attention to your safety, and do not be reckless in any trouble. The stakes are very high on this trip, and if there is any mistake, I am afraid that hundreds of brothers will be put in danger. Brother Chen Da, would you like to listen to me? ”

Chen Dadao: "My brother just said, and there is no one who doesn't say a word." ”

Shi Jin also knew that this matter should not be careless, and arched his hand and said: "I know that you are not afraid of the sky and the earth, but this trip is related to the safety of hundreds of brothers, and the Zhu Wu brothers are thoughtful, I want you not to disobey him along the way, and you must not eat and drink, are you willing?" ”

Chen Daguo is a man who has made a promise, although he feels that it is difficult to endure without eating, but he did not bargain, and hugged his fists and said: "Okay, brother, don't worry, I will never eat wine before I see my brother, and I will listen to Brother Zhu Wu on the road." ”

Shi Jin looked at Chen Da with a solemn face and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll be relieved." When we meet in Liangshan, I'll have a good meal with you. ”

Zhu Wu was reluctant to go with Chen Da, and he was also afraid of Chen Da's trouble, and he was very happy to see that Shi Jin helped him solve this hidden danger, and it was always good to have a brother with strong martial arts to accompany him.

The four of them discussed for a while, and Shi Jin said: "Wait a minute, the three brothers, I will ask people to bring some gold and silver, and the Zhu Wu brothers and Chen Da brothers will be entangled on the road, and the rest will go over there to buy some grain, grass, cars and boats." ”

Chen Da said with a smile: "We have our own, and when the grain and grass arrive, we will fight a few big families who are rich and unkind." ”

Shi Jin shook his head and said: "We went to Shandong and we are not familiar with the place, so it is not suitable to make a big deal for the time being, I still have some gold and silver there, you go and buy a few months' worth of grain and grass first." When we set up camp, it's not too late to attack those who are doing big harm. ”

Zhu Wudao: "I don't need a lot of gold and silver to buy a few months of grain and grass, and I also have a few hundred pieces there, so I can take them out first." ”

The cottage has income, and the leader will catch a copy, although Shaohua Mountain has not been established for a long time, but the three leaders have also saved some furniture.

Chen Da saw Zhu Wu say this, and also said, "The junior brother also has a few hundred guan there." ”

Shi Jin smiled: "I still have a lot of gold and silver there, and it's useless to put it there." Kill my big family first, and then say, the three brothers sit together, and I'll come when I go. ”

Shi Jin strode out of the grass hall, and saw that Shi Zhu was still carrying a few villagers to divide the silver for Shaohua Mountain's minions, so he shouted: "Shi Zhu." ”

Shi Zhu heard Shi Jin's greeting, trotted to Shi Jin and said, "Master......"

While speaking, seeing Shi Jin frowning, he hurriedly changed his words: "What does my brother command?" ”

Shi Jin smiled: "How much gold and silver do we have?" ”

Shi Zhu heard Shi Jin ask about money, and said painfully: "I looked at my father's account book just now, and the gold and silver we brought out was more than 12,000 yuan, and we sent more than 1,000 yuan to the brothers in Zhuangshang last night, and now it has sent more than 3,000 yuan, and there are more than 8,000 yuan left." ”

Shi Jin thought for a while and said, "You go and get a thousand taels of silver, a hundred taels of gold." ”

Shi Zhu took a breath and couldn't help but say: "One thousand taels of silver is two thousand guan, and one hundred taels of gold is two thousand guan, and if you take these four thousand guan, the master will have four thousand guan left." ”

Shi Jin smiled: "It's okay, you go and get it." ”

Shi Zhu saw that Shi Jin didn't want to listen to him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he went back.

After a short time, Shi Zhu sent the two burdens to the grass hall.

Shi Jin asked Shi Zhu to put the burden on the chair next to him, and said to Zhu Wu: "That's one thousand taels of silver, one hundred taels of gold." The brothers took it and made it entangled, and the rest went to Liangshan to buy what the cottage needed. ”

Zhu Wu saw Shi Jin take out this lot of gold and silver for him, and was also moved by Shi Jin's trust, and hugged his fists and said: "Brother, don't worry, with so much gold and silver, the younger brother will buy materials for the cottage for a few months." ”

After discussing for a while in the grass hall, the minions came to the banquet later.

The four of them ate a little more wine, and then went to rest.

Zhu Wu and others have not been in Shaohua Mountain for a long time, and there are no young and old people on the mountain.

Although half of the cottage minions decided to follow Shi into Shandong, the future is uncertain, and those who have a small family also want to settle down and move to a small house.

The Song Dynasty implemented a heavy law for thieves, but in addition to a few leaders who were arrested by the government with a reward, the government could not figure out the names and origins of the minions below, and they were not afraid of being exposed when they arrived in Shandong, and their families were not a problem for the time being.

Early the next morning, Zhu Wu and Chen Da took more than a dozen capable minions to Shandong.

Shi Jin and others stayed in Shaohua Mountain for one more day, and selected cowhides, silk cloth and other suitable things to make dozens of tents.

Although the tents made in a hurry are a little simple, but just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is not cold, and it can barely be used.

On the 18th day of the eighth month, on the fourth watch, everyone got up to make fires and cook food, and to bundle up the salutes, grain and grass.

There were more than 60 horses in the cottage, but there were only about 40 carts, and most of them let go of the salute and only pulled a small amount of grain and grass.

The rest of the grain and grass were left for the minions who had not left yet, and Shi Jin couldn't control much.

Without a leader, they would never dare to continue to reign as kings here.

On the fifth watch, everyone went down the mountain and came to Pujin Bridge.

Pujin Bridge was built in the Tang Dynasty, the two sides of the river are eight iron oxen in the town, the middle iron cable is connected, each iron ox weighs 120,000 catties. However, in the Song Dynasty, as the Song Dynasty continued to develop the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the Yellow River became more and more irritable.

During the time of Song Zhenzong, a flood washed away the iron bull. Monk Huaibing sailed a wooden boat full of sediment to the place where the iron ox sank, unloaded the sediment and used buoyancy to pull up the iron ox, which was a beautiful talk for a while.

Everyone was walking on the main road, and when the merchant saw this large group of people on the road, they were immediately frightened and fled.

In order to save their lives, some merchants couldn't take care of their belongings, so they left the car and ran away.

made some minions look hot, but Shi Jin didn't let them pick up the bargain, just urged everyone to hurry.

In order to prevent the sudden collision with the robber officers and soldiers and being caught off guard, Shi Jin sent horse patrol guards in the front and back, left and right.

Not to mention everyone, Shi Jin, who rode a horse all the way, was a little tired after walking for a long time, and seeing the tired appearance of everyone behind, it was almost noon, Shi Jin asked Tanma to find the town and buy two carts of wine and meat.

Walking to the edge of a forest, Shi Jin sent a few people into the forest to investigate, and then asked everyone to go to the edge of the forest to rest and eat some wine and meat.

At this time, people still have two meals a day, but after walking for half a day, they are also hungry. is very thirsty, seeing that there is wine and meat to eat, who doesn't say that Shi Jin is generous.

There was good wine and meat to cheer up, and after half an hour of rest, everyone also regained their energy.

After walking for another hour and a half in the afternoon, the people looked for a place to set up camp.

A simple tent was propped up, and some simple antlers were buried around it, and some thistles were sprinkled, and a simple camp was built.

The camp of more than 300 people is not large, but it also makes a lot of effort for the first time to camp.

Shi Jin was only crammed before, and asked Zhu Wu for some tips on camping, which can be said to be groping forward, but fortunately, this is still the boundary of Huayin County, and there is no need to worry about the officers and soldiers attacking the camp.

After setting up the camp and resting for a while, they began to bury the pot and make food.

The fragrant rice, coupled with the wine and meat bought in the nearby town, made everyone shout for Shi Jin's generosity.

Nowadays, it is not uncommon to eat rice in the north, when Song Taizong, the emperor promoted early rice in the north, and now Hebei, Hedong, Jingdong, and Jingxi have planted early rice.

Coupled with the promotion of two crops a year and three crops in two years in the south, there has been a trend of Suzhou and Hangzhou ripening the world, and rice has been continuously transported northward through Cao Yun, so that the staple food of many towns in the Central Plains has become rice.

"What's the matter, are you tired after a day's walk?"

"Don't be tired, the villain is from a farmer and is used to the road."

Shi Jin didn't eat alone, but squatted on the ground with everyone in Shaohua Mountain, gossiping while eating.

After eating, Shi Jin ordered two teams of his own villagers, and said: "Tonight, you will be on duty in two shifts, one team in the first half of the night, and one team in the second half of the night." On duty the next morning, you can take a car for half a day. ”

Shi Jin didn't rest, and arranged a few people on night duty to go outside the camp, and took the remaining few people to patrol the camp.

On the third watch day, Yang Chun got up to change Shi Jin.

Shi Jin got into a tent and slept in clothes, in a simple tent, although the wind was whistling, but Shi Jin, who had been busy all day, also slept upside down, and there was nothing uncomfortable.

On the first day, the crowd traveled more than fifty miles, neither more nor less.
