Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Dilemma of Filial Piety

Xiao Jiasui became a military advisor, and Song Jiang became the leader of Dongshan, managing all kinds of affairs in Dongshan.

Today, there are thousands of households in Dongshan, although it is not as large as Yuncheng County, but it is also larger than many towns, and there are many miscellaneous things.

Although Song Jiang was in the yamen before, he was just a priest, just dealing with some copywriting, and now he has to deal with all kinds of miscellaneous things, and he spends most of his time dealing with official affairs.

On this day, Song Jiang was sitting in the Dongshan Court, and he heard a report from his brother Song Qing that he had come up the mountain, so he asked Song Qing to lead him to the back.

Before Song Jiang fled to Liangshan, Yuncheng County also sent people to Songjia Village to arrest him, but a few years earlier, Song Jiang involved his family and asked Song Tai to announce his disobedience, out of his nationality, and not in the household, so Song Jiang became the head of the thief in Liangshan, and the lawsuit did not involve Song Taigong.

Of course, these are all articles to deal with the government, and who in the rivers and lakes does not know filial piety Hei Saburo.

After Song Jiang joined the gang, he also sent someone to Songjia Village to bring a few letters, telling Song Taigong where he was, and instructed his brother Song Qing, an iron fan, to support his old father well and not to visit him, so as not to be held by the father-in-law, and then the old father will be involved.

When he arrived, Song Jiang frowned and said, "What are you doing here?" Could it be that something happened at home? ”

Song Qingdao: "My father has been sick for many days, and he only thinks about seeing you every day, and when he can't see you again, he is afraid that something will be good, so I came." ”

Song Jiang heard that his father was seriously ill, and immediately cried: "It's my unfilial piety that makes my father sick." You go to Dazhai with me, I will take a leave of absence with Shi Dalang, and we will go down the mountain. ”

Song Qing didn't speak either.

At that moment, Song Jiang took Song Qing to Dazhai to see Shi Jin.

When Shi Jin heard Song Jiang's words, he was also very puzzled.

Water Margin. Song Taigong deceived Song Jiang to go back, afraid that Song Jiang would become a grass coward. On the occasion of amnesty, let Song Jiang stab. I will be a good citizen in the future.

Could it be that this time it is not Song Taigong or this thought?

Although Shi Jin was puzzled, he couldn't stop it, so he could only say: "Taigong is sick, and I should go to visit with my brother, but I'm afraid that it will be seen and it will affect Zhuangshang." Lu Fang, you go to the Money and Grain Division to get a hundred taels of silver to Brother Gongming. ”

Song Jiang hurriedly said: "The village has its own gold and silver to use, and I don't dare to use the public money of the cottage." ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "The cottage convention, the leader gets married and gets sick. There are condolences in the cottage, and it is also the hearts of all the brothers, and the brother must not shirk. ”

Song Jiang heard Shi Jin say this, so he thanked Shi Jin.

When Lu Fang came back and took the silver, he was going to go down the mountain with Song Qing.

Shi Jin said: "It's not early today, why don't you go down the mountain early." Shiro is also the first time to come to the cottage, so I should set up a banquet to entertain him. ”

Song Jiang had red circles in his eyes and said, "Song Jiang is not filial." made my father miss him into a disease, but at this time, his heart was like a knife, how could he eat and sleep. So I asked my brother to let me go down the mountain. Wait a few days for me to serve my father, and I will return. ”

Shi Jin saw Song Jiang's expression, and had no choice but to say, "Okay." That brother be careful on the road. I will ask the spies to pay attention to the movements in Songjia Village. ”

Song Jiang thanked Shi Jin again, and went down the mountain with Song Qing.

The two trotted all the way back to Songjia Village. When I arrived outside the village, it was already dark.

The two walked to their village in the dark. Knock on the door and enter.

Coming to Song Taigong's residence at the back, Song Jiang led Song Qing into lightly.

Inside, Song Taigong had already heard the movement and sat up.

When Song Jiang saw Song Taigong, he immediately knelt on the ground crying.

Song Taigong touched Song Jiang's head and said, "San Lang Mo is crying, I'm not sick." ”

When Song Jiang heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, turned his head to Song Qing and scolded: "You disobedient brute, and your father is not sick, how can you curse your father." You are such an unfilial son. ”

Song Jiang's eldest brother has always been prestigious, and Song Qing didn't dare to distinguish it.

Mrs. Song said fairly: "Don't be anxious, my son won't do your brother's business." It's me who thinks about it every day to see you, so I teach Shiro that I'm sick, and you will return quickly. It's all my idea, don't do Shiro's business, you don't blame him. ”

Song Jiang heard Song Taigong say this, and bowed to the ground again, saying: "The child is not filial, and he can't be filial in front of his father, so that his father is so worried." ”

Song Taigong shook his head and said: "The man's ambition is thousands of miles, and it is enough for me to have Shiro by my side." Before, you killed people and fled, and went to Liangshan to become the leader, and I didn't say much. Recently, the court granted an amnesty, and your sin has been reduced by one degree, and now it should only be a crime in vain. I don't think it's a long-term solution in Liangshan, why don't you go to the government and turn yourself in. When the limit is full in the future, I can still be a good citizen when I return to my hometown. ”

When Song Jiang heard this, his heart was also very entangled, and he said: "I showed up a lot outside the park before, but the previous crime was reduced, and it was also a capital crime to be the leader of Liangshan." If you turn yourself in, won't you kill yourself? ”

When Song Taigong heard this, he frowned and said, "In this way, you can only be in Liangshan?" ”

Song Jiang nodded and said, "Now it's all about it." ”

Song Taigong said: "Liangshan soldiers are strong and strong, and there are so many heroes. I can't say that I will be able to recruit the court in the future, and I don't know if they are willing to recruit peace? ”

Song Jiang didn't lie to his father either, and said, "Don't hide it from my father, two days ago, everyone was still talking about Zhao'an in the Juyi Hall. The implication of Shi Jin's words is that he is unwilling to recruit An, unless Cai Jing, Gao Yu and other traitors lose power, otherwise he does not want to be framed by traitors. ”

Song Taigong shook his head and said: "The court is loyal and traitorous side by side, when can the court have no traitorous ministers, he doesn't want to recruit An, is it possible to be the king of the mountain for the rest of his life?" As for the other leaders of Liangshan, they don't all think like this, right? ”

Song Jiang went up the mountain for a few months, and he also had an understanding of the situation in Liangshan, so he said helplessly: "Most of the leaders of Liangshan are his closest brothers, and when he says that he doesn't recruit An, then he can't recruit An." ”

Hearing this, Song Taigong frowned and said: "Being the king of the mountain is not a long-term solution after all, and if you have been there, it will be difficult for me to see you." ”

When Song Jiang heard this, he immediately cried again: "Children are not filial. ”

Song Taigong has always liked this capable son, hugged Song Jiang and said, "Don't you have anything to do?" I don't ask you to be a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister, as long as you can always be by your side, and you don't have to worry about living if you have land at home. ”

Song Jiang shook his head and said, "The child also wants to pry Shi Jin Zhao'an." It's just that he is very strong-willed, and the cottages are all his henchmen. Children can't be the masters. ”

Song Taigong said: "I only heard that he was so famous, and I thought he would be a pillar of the court in the future." You can also get a background by his side, but you don't want to be an unfaithful person. If you don't recruit An, sooner or later you will be exterminated by the imperial court, you might as well leave him early. ”

Song Jiang was embarrassed: "The leader of the cottage treated me very well, and when I went down the mountain today, Shi Jin also brought me a hundred taels of silver to visit my father." On that day, I killed people and fled, and Shi Jin also brought a lot of soldiers and horses to Yuncheng County to meet me. If I leave, will I not be ungrateful? ”

Song Taigong hugged Song Jiang and said: "But Liangshan is not ready to recruit An, he has gathered a lot of soldiers and horses." In the future, it is impossible to say that there will be a rebellion, and then it will be a matter of exterminating the nine clans. If you stay there, sooner or later, your life will be lost, and I won't have many years to live, I'm afraid that you will hurt Shiro. ”

As he spoke, he shed two lines of old tears.

Song Jiang hurriedly said: "The child is not filial, if my father does not allow it, I will not go back." If filial piety is in a dilemma, the child will never be an unfilial son. ”

Song Taigong nodded and said, "Okay, good." Then you stay. Although you have been the leader of Liangshan for a few months, you have only helped them to relieve the victims, and you have never killed anyone, so even if you go to the government, it may not be a capital crime. When the time comes, I'll ask Shiro to take the gold and silver up and down. You will not be allowed to suffer. ”

Although Song Jiang was entangled in his heart, he didn't want to make his father sad, so he nodded and said, "Okay." Then I will write a letter tomorrow and send it to Liangshan. ”

Mrs. Song said fairly: "You send the letter." They won't send someone to rob you, will they? ”

Song Jiang shook his head and said: "Shi Jin is a righteous person, as long as the child explains the situation." He will not embarrass me. ”

Song Taigong didn't look at Song Jiang, nodded and said: "In this way, he is a real man, but unfortunately he is disloyal." ”

Song Jiang talked for a while in Mrs. Song's room, waited for Mrs. Song to sleep, and then came out with his brother Song Qing.

The next day, Song Jiang repaired a letter and asked Song Qing to send it to Liangshan, and asked Song Qing what to say.

Song Qing walked for the second time, and he was also familiar with the way, and when he arrived at Liangshan Dazhai, he saw Shi Jin, and presented Song Jiang's letter.

Shi Jin opened Song Jiang's letter, and said helplessly after reading it: "Taigong hopes that Brother Gongming will be by his side to support him for the elderly, this is a matter of filial piety, and we will never dare to force it." It's just that there are a few brothers in the cottage who are close friends with Brother Gongming, and when Brother Gongming doesn't go up the mountain, I can't say that they still have something to say, Shiro and wait a minute, I asked them to come. ”

Song Qing was relieved when he heard Shi Jin's promise, and nodded, "Okay." ”

At that moment, Shi Jin asked people to invite Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Liu Tang, Yang Lin, Zou Yuan, and Zou Run.

Chao Gai and Song Jiang are sworn brothers, and Song Jiang has a life-saving grace for these seven people, and it can be said that they have a great friendship.

The seven of them heard that Song Taigong wanted Song Jiang to be by his side to support the elderly, although they were not happy, they didn't dare to say more, so they could only ask Shiro to give a few words of greeting.

only said that Song Jiang stayed in Songjiazhuang, did not go out on weekdays, and only served his father at home.

On this day, when Song Jiang was serving Song Taigong to sleep, he only heard the front and back doors shouting, shouting: "Don't leave Song Jiang!" ”

When the princess heard this, he cried bitterly.

Song Jiang's face also changed, and he said with a smile: "Father, don't panic, the crimes on the left and right have been reduced by one level, and they have taken it, so it's better to end the lawsuit as soon as possible." If he is cut off from a foreign state, he must also have a schedule, and when he returns in the future, he will have to serve his father for life sooner or later. ”

Song Taigong could only accept Song Jiang when he heard Song Jiang say this.

When the two of them came out of the courtyard, they took a ladder to look at the wall, and saw that there were about 100 people in the torches, and the first two were the heads of the new ginseng in Yuncheng County, but there were two brothers: one was called Zhao Neng and the other was called Zhao De.

Zhu Tong and Lei Heng were sent out to be public at this time.

The two surnamed Zhao saw Song Taigong climb the wall, and shouted: "Song Taigong, if you know something, you will sacrifice your son Song Jiang out, and we will take him ourselves; If you don't teach him to be an official, he will be arrested with you. ”

Song Taigong had already discussed with Song Jiang, and immediately asked people to open the door of the village, let the duke come in, and took Song Jiang.

Zhao Neng and Zhao De took Song Jiang, but they were afraid that the soldiers and horses of Liangshan would get the news, so they didn't dare to delay, so they returned to Yuncheng County overnight. (To be continued......)
