Chapter 52: Escape from Tokyo

Zhang Jiaotou asked Jin'er about Shi Zhu's clothes, and sat at home for a while before walking out of the house.

Out of the alley, Zhang Jiaotou went directly into the teahouse where Wei Jing and Wang Yao were watching, and asked, "Is there any news of Lin Chong?" ”

Zhang Jiaotou has lived in this alley for many years, and the changes in the tea shop at the entrance of the alley naturally can't fool him.

What's more, he has been in the army for a long time, and the people around Gao Yu don't know him, and he is always familiar.

Wei Jing and Wang Yao sat in the teahouse for a day, and he knew that they were coming for him.

At that time, Lin Chong's murder and escape in Cangzhou had spread in Tokyo, and Wei Jing and Wang Yao also knew that they couldn't hide Zhang Jiaotou, who had lived here for decades, so they said that they had been ordered by Gao Yu to arrest people from Liangshan, hoping that Zhang Jiaotou would cooperate.

Zhang Jiaotou also said with a smile that he was also afraid that the Liangshan thieves would rob his daughter, and as long as the Liangshan thieves really came, he would definitely report to Wei Jing and Wang Yao.

Every day, Zhang Jiaotou would go to the teahouse to ask if there was any news about Lin Chong, so that Wei Jing and Wang Yao would not feel uncomfortable.

Wei Jing shook his head and said, "No, I can't say that he has already gone to Liangshan." Maybe in a few days, he will have someone come and make love. ”

Zhang Jiaotou shook his head and didn't speak, arched his hands, turned around and went to the street.

Shi Zhu watched Zhang Jiaotou enter the teahouse at the entrance of the alley from a distance, and the two people who were watching him said a few words, and couldn't help but walk up to Zhu Gui and asked in a low voice: "Zhang Jiaotou won't collude with Gao Yu's people to arrest us, right?" ”

Zhu Gui shook his head and said, "We asked Jin'er to pass the word, and he must have known that we had found someone to watch." If he had colluded with those two people, he wouldn't have walked into the teahouse like this for us to see. We followed him for a while, saw that there was no one in the way, and then went up to talk to him. You walk in the back, look at my eyes and go up to find a place to talk to Zhang Jiaotou, and then you leave, and I will talk to him. ”

"Okay."

Shi Jin wanted to answer Lin Chong in Liangshan, and he was afraid that Zhu Gui would not be able to win the trust of the Zhang family, so he could only send Shi Zhu, who had met with the Zhang family before.

However, Shi Jin was also afraid that Shi Zhu would be recognized, Dong Chao and Xue Ba were watched by Lu Zhishen in the Water Margin, and they failed to harm Lin Chong, and after returning to Tokyo, they were directly assassinated and sent to Beijing, but this time he escorted Lin Chong, and there was no change.

In the wild boar forest that day, Shi Zhu also met with Dong Chao and Xue Ba, so after Shi Jin ordered to take over, Shi Zhu returned to Liangshan first.

Zhang Jiaotou walked all the way, and he didn't look left and right, the people in Liangshan could find the person who was watching, and he must also be a fine person, so he shouldn't lose him.

Looking at Zhu Gui and Shi Zhu in the past, a person suddenly appeared on the window on the second floor of the teahouse, and at the same time, a person came down from the upper floor and said to Wei Jing and Wang Yao who were sitting below: "What is the movement today?" ”

Wei Jing sneered and said: "Zhang Jiaotou just went out, your brothers don't keep an eye on it, and when you can't catch the Liangshan thieves, see how you bear the responsibility for the front." ”

It turned out that these two people were Dong Chao and Xue Ba who killed Lin Chong that day, because no one knew Shi Jin, Gao Yu left the two in Tokyo to make meritorious contributions, in case they were useful.

A few days ago, Lin Chong killed Lu Qian and the others in Cangzhou, and Gao Yu thought that Lin Chong might go to Liangshan, so he sent a group of people to wait here to wait for the rabbit.

Because Shi Jin also knew Dong Chao and Xue Ba, the two didn't dare to sit on the first floor, so they could only hide in the window on the second floor and watch.

After waiting for a few days in a row, they found nothing, and the two also felt that Shi Jin was unlikely to come to Tokyo again, so they couldn't help but slack off.

Dong Chao and Xue Ba are just the public servants of Kaifeng Mansion, not to mention that they still wear crimes and make meritorious contributions, and they don't dare to be disrespectful to the Taiwei Mansion, so they hurriedly smiled and said: "Yesterday, I heard that Liangshan sent someone to answer Lin Chong, and the two of us stayed until the third watch to see that there was no one on the street before going to sleep, so I got up a little late today." Two forgiveness. ”

Wei Jing and Wang Yao didn't rest in the teahouse at night, and they didn't know whether it was true or not, so they waved their hands and said: "When something happens, Taiwei will naturally settle accounts with you, and it's useless for our brothers to forgive their sins." ”

Xue Ba accompanied him and said carefully: "Yes, yes." Dong Chao was already staring at it, and the villain went to buy some food, so he also stared. Have you eaten it twice? ”

Wei Jingdao: "Don't worry about us, you go and come back quickly, don't make a mistake." ”

When Xue Ba walked to the street, Shi Zhu had already walked over.

The two had only met once in the wild boar forest, and Xue Ba naturally couldn't recognize Shi Zhulai from his back.

Zhu Gui followed Zhang Jiaotou to two intersections, and found no one in the way, so he motioned for Shi Zhu to go up.

Shi Zhu walked quickly to Zhang Jiaotou and arched his hand: "I am Shi Zhu from Shandong, can Zhang Jiaotou take a step to speak?" ”

Zhang Jiaotou saw that Shi Zhu's clothes were the same as what Jin'er said, and pretended to show the way: "Without Lin Chong's letter, I won't go with you." Go back quickly, for I have been followed these days. ”

Shi Zhu heard Zhang Jiaotou say this, and immediately changed his face in shock, but he still forced himself to calm down: "We were entrusted by my brother to come, how can we go back easily." Can Zhang Jiaotou find a place to talk and let Brother Zhu Gui talk to you? ”

Seeing that Shi Zhu was so stubborn, Zhang Jiaotou could only say: "Okay, see you at the Li Hotel on Mahang Street in the afternoon." You go back first, and be careful that someone follows you. ”

Shi Zhu pretended to ask for directions, thanked Zhang Jiaotou, glanced at Zhu Gui behind him, and hurriedly walked to the front.

Zhu Gui saw Shi Zhu leave alone, and knew that something was wrong, so he could only abandon Zhang Jiaotou and leave with Shi Zhu.

Shi Zhu led Zhu Gui on the street for a while, and then waited for Zhu Gui to come up, and said: "Zhang Jiaotou said that someone has followed him these days, and it is inconvenient to talk just now, so he wants us to go to the Li Family Hotel on Mahang Street in the afternoon." ”

Zhu Gui was also taken aback, he didn't find anyone who was an eyesore all the way, and he didn't know if no one followed him today, or if he didn't find it.

Just in case, he and Zhu Gui went around the street a few more times before returning to the inn.

When he arrived at the inn, Zhu Gui asked Shi Zhu to lead the two of them back first, so as not to eat people and take them.

didn't wait for the afternoon, Zhu Gui changed his clothes, and took the two minions to Mahang Street, and after finding the Li Hotel, he let the two minions watch outside, and he went into the hotel to find a table to eat and drink.

Just after noon, I saw Zhang Jiaotou coming quickly.

Zhu Gui hurriedly got up and beckoned Zhang Jiaotou to sit down.

Zhang Jiaotou saw that Zhu Gui spoke with a Jiangnan accent, sat down with a hint of strangeness, and pretended to be an acquaintance to say a few words.

Zhu Gui saw that no one was paying attention, so he changed to a Shandong accent and whispered: "I'm Liangshan Zhu Gui, Shi Zhu showed his face in Tokyo before, I asked him to go back first." ”

Zhang Jiaotou still remembered that Shi Zhu asked him to talk to Zhu Gui in the morning, and seeing Zhu Gui so cautious, he nodded and said, "Fortunately." Without Lin Chong's letter, I wouldn't have gone with you. Go back, lest you be taken by the princes. ”

Zhu Guidao: "When my brother and Lin Jiaotou were separated in Cangzhou that day, I expected that Gao Yu's family would also harm Lin Jiaotou, so let Lin Jiaotou be careful. Lin Jiaotou also told his brother that if Gao Yu still sent someone to harm him, as long as he didn't die, he would go to Liangshan. Therefore, after my brother heard that Lin Jiaotou killed people in Cangzhou, he sent someone to answer him on the one hand, and sent us to pick up Zhang Jiaotou and the Lin family's sister-in-law. lest Gao Yu know that after Lin Jiaotou went up the mountain, the guards were more strict.

Maybe Lin Jiaotou has now arrived in the cottage, if he arrives in Jeju and there is no news of Lin Jiaotou, Zhang Jiaotou is willing to live in Jeju for a long time and wait for Lin Jiaotou, or if he is willing to return to Tokyo, we will never dare to be strong. ”

Zhang Jiaotou thought about it, but still shook his head and said, "I also know that you are not ordinary grass cowards, but I am afraid that my son-in-law will not go." If we go first, it will cause him to go against his original intention, and it will not be beautiful. Let's wait for his news. ”

Zhu Gui saw that Zhang Jiaotou didn't believe them, so he had no choice but to say: "If Zhang Jiaotou refuses to go to Jeju, then let's go to Fengqiu County first and get out of this cage." Once the cottage receives the head of the Lin sect, it will send a letter, and then we will go to Shandong again, okay? ”

Zhang Jiaotou was reluctant to go to Shandong because he was afraid that he would be robbed of Liangshan by Zhu Gui and others, and Fengqiu County was north of Tokyo, so he was not afraid of being hijacked by the people of Liangshan.

Zhu Gui saw that Zhang Jiaotou was moved, and said: "I heard my brother say that Lin Jiaotou and his wife are very affectionate, even if they write a letter of resignation, they will never change their minds." My brother was afraid that the two of them would regret it for life, so he sent us to pick up the Lin family's sister-in-law. Zhang Jiaotou must not want to see his daughter depressed. ”

Zhang Jiaotou heard Zhu Gui say this, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, then we will go to Fengqiu County with you to live for a while." But if there is no letter from my son-in-law within ten days, we will still return to Tokyo. ”

Zhu Gui saw that Zhang Jiaotou agreed, and hurriedly said, "Okay." I also brought a few delicate companions with me this time, and Zhang Jiaotou only commanded where he could use it. ”

Zhang Jiaotou thought for a while and said, "Do you have sweat medicine?" ”

Zhu Gui nodded and said, "Bring some." ”

Zhang Jiaotou said: "Then you will give me some later, tomorrow I will take my daughter to Guanyin Temple to burn incense, you go there first." Then follow me into the temple, I put the medicine into the wine and ask the watcher to eat, and when it is all numb, you save me, and we will leave. ”

"Okay, the head of the sect will sit here for a while, and I will order someone to fetch it."

Zhu Gui got up and walked outside the hotel, instructed a minion to go back to get the sweat medicine, and then went back to the hotel to have a drink with Zhang Jiaotou.

When the sweat medicine was taken, Zhu Gui gave it to Zhang Jiaotou, and the two returned the money and left.

The next morning, Zhang Jiaotou took his daughter and maid Jin'er out.

Wei Jing and Wang Yao, who were watching at the entrance of the alley, saw Zhang come out, so they came up and asked, "Where is Zhang Jiaotou going?" ”

Zhang Jiaotou said with a smile: "I accompanied my daughter to Guanyin Temple to burn incense and relax." ”

Wei Jing and Wang Yao saw that Zhang Jiaotou didn't bring any packages, but they didn't suspect it, but they didn't dare to be careless, so they said: "Let's go with you, lest the Liangshan thieves rob people." ”

Zhang Jiaotou said: "There are two Laos." ”

Along the way, Zhang Jiaotou chatted with Wei Jing and Wang Yao, and he didn't dislike the two of them.

When he arrived outside the Guanyin Temple, Zhu Guizao led a person to drive a carriage and waited outside the temple.

Seeing Zhang Jiao's first few people coming, he asked his minions to wait outside, and he followed in.

The first few people of the Zhang sect burned incense in the hall outside, and then the Zhang family found a master to chant the scriptures.

After looking at it for more than an hour, the Zhang family was just chanting there and yawning Wei Jing, Wang Yao and others.

Seeing that it was noon, Zhang Jiaotou asked the fire workers in the temple to renovate a table of vegetarian banquets and invited Wei Jing and Wang Yao.

Wei Jing and Wang Yao were also hungry, and they heard Zhang Jiaotou say that the Zhang family would not go back until sunset, so they excused themselves slightly, and then ate and drank with Zhang Jiaotou.

After a few glasses of vegetarian wine, the three of them salivated and poured on the table.

Outside, Zhu Gui heard the movement, so he flashed in and woke up Zhang Jiaotou.

Zhang Jiaotou woke up and saw that both of them were numb, so he and Zhu Gui moved them both to the couch to rest, and told the little novice in the temple that the two were drunk, so don't disturb the two.

Only then did they call Zhang and Jin'er out of the temple, take a carriage out of the city from the east gate, and then turn north.

When Wei Jing and Wang Yao woke up, it was already sunset, and they asked the monks in the temple, and learned that Zhang Jiaotou's father and daughter left at noon, and they knew that something was wrong.

Out of breath, he ran back to the alley outside Zhang Jiaotou's house, and heard the people in the teahouse say that Zhang Jiaotou and the three did not come back, and they did not dare to delay any longer, broke open the door of Zhang Jiaotou's house, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and looked for a while, and saw that there were only some copper coins left in the house, and there was no shadow of gold and silver, and they also knew that Zhang Jiaotou and the three people had escaped, and hurriedly ran to the Taiwei Mansion to report.

Gao Yanei's guy heard that Zhang had fled, but he was crying and refused to stop.

Gao Yu's arrangement fell through, and he felt that his face was disgraceful, so he immediately sent people to the east to catch up.

I don't know how many people go out of the city every day in Tokyo, and the people who chase after him naturally can't find out the news of Zhang Jiaotou and his party, so they chase all the way to the east, where can they catch up.
