Chapter 40: The Ugliness of the Family
Jeju, Shandong.
However, after Zhu Tonglei, the head of the Yachama infantry in Yuncheng County, went to Dongxizhuang to investigate, the two and their families said goodbye overnight, and the direction was unknown.
The county government felt that this matter was strange, so he sent another person to Dongxizhuang to investigate, and news came that the Chao family compound was also empty, and the owner had disappeared.
Dongxi Zhuang Baozheng Chao Gai has a major suspicion!
When the county government took Chao Gai's shadow painting to confirm it with the Duguan Yuhou and Zhong Junjian, who escorted the "Birth Gang", everyone recognized that this person was indeed a man among the disguised jujube sellers.
So while sending out eyeliner to inquire about Chao Gai's whereabouts, he photocopied a large number of Chao Gai's shadow paintings, posted notices, and arrested Chao Gai.
Song Jiang, the secretary of the Yuncheng County Ya, was a good friend of Chao Gai, and had already passed the news with Chao Gai to let him prepare early, and knew that Chao Gai had successfully earned Zhu Tonglei, the head of the second capital, and went to Liangshanbo to avoid the limelight.
When the county government issued a wanted document, Song Jiang was just worried about whether Chao Gai and his party would successfully reach Shuibo Liangshan and successfully join the cottage. But he is busy with his own affairs, and he can't tell the story from coming and going to find out the news in person, so he is depressed all day long.
There is another thing, a few months ago, Song Jiang took the lead of Wang Miao's wife to help a singing girl from a foreign country who sold herself to bury her father, named Yan Poxi. Originally, he was just doing good deeds and did not ask for anything in return, but that Yan Po regretted that he had no relatives and attached herself in every way, and there was no way for Song Jiang to find a place for her to settle down. On weekdays, gold and silver are replenished, brocade is cut and forged, and food is served in every detail.
At the beginning, Yan Po was grateful to Dade and tried her best every night to serve Song Jiang closely. Song Jiang originally only liked to use guns and sticks, but he didn't care much about this woman, and after a long time, Yan Po regretted that she didn't go there so often. Most once a month, less once a month. It's a pity that the mother-in-law is in the cardamom years, and she especially likes the joy of fish and water, and gradually she is not very close to Song Jiang, but she finds a new love boy from the market, and the fight is hot. When the rumors reached Song Jiang's ears, he didn't think so, there was no vigorous love between him and Yan Poxi, but they just met in Pingshui and acted on the spot. He opened one eye and closed another.
I didn't know that when Song Jiang went to Yan the day before yesterday, he was impartial, and happened to bump into Yan Poxi and the good friend in bed. In addition to being embarrassed, Song Jiang famously wanted to return Yan Po to his freedom, so that he could find another place and no longer be involved. I don't know that Yan Po cherishes Song Jiang's money and silver, but she still doesn't leave, just playing tricks. Song Jiang was troubled in his heart.
On this day, when Song Jiang was about to go to the wine shop to have a glass of stuffy wine, a tall red-haired man stopped him at the entrance.
When Song Jiang looked up, he felt that the man was a little familiar, but he really couldn't remember who the other party's surname was.
Just when he was confused, the man said to him softly: "The nobles of Song Abbot are very forgetful, and I am Liu Tang who had a relationship with Abshisi in the Chao family compound the day before yesterday. ”
Song Jiang suddenly remembered, looked left and right, there was no one else, and said in a suppressed voice: "Brother is so bold!" ”
He said aloud to him: "Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for many days, let's have a few more drinks today, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return!" ”
So he quickly dragged him to a secluded room in the wine store, ordered wine and food, and drank with him.
Song Jiang said: "Now the city is boiling, and the Chao Heavenly King and your brothers are being arrested, how dare you show up here?" If recognized, it's not a trick! ”
Liu Tang said with a smile: "If you bother with the priest, the brothers will take care of it." Song Oshiji forgot? I Liu Tang parasitized a hero from outside the sky, and his body can change his appearance. If you exert some strength, this face can also be changed to a different appearance, but it will not last long. Even if I am recognized by the officers and soldiers, my ability to transform will not necessarily suffer for a while. ”
Song Jiang said: "Brother Liu is so capable, it is really rare in the world!" But then again, a hero doesn't suffer immediate losses, and if he fights alone, it's better to be safe. ”
Liu Tang nodded and said, "What the priest reminds is." ”
Song Jiang asked about the people going to Liangshan again.
Liu Tang said: "Don't hide it from the priest, the big leader on the mountain, 'White-clothed Xiushi' Wang Lun, is really tightly packed. The fifth leader, the 'leopard head' Lin Chong, and the sixth leader, Lin Niangzi, walked for the heavens, drove Wang Lun away, and let my Chao Tianwang Chao brother take the lead. The brothers are also as hot as the brothers on the mountain. ”
Song Jiang'er listened to it, yearning for it, and said: "The brothers have found a good place!" ”
Liu Tang continued: "When Wu Xuexue, the king of Chao, and the brothers saw that the wind and water were smooth and settled, they thought of the benefits of Song Abshi, so they asked me to go down the mountain to give Song Abssi some small gifts, and thanked Song Abssi for taking care of them. ”
While talking about Liu Tang, he took out the burden beside him, and Song Jiang saw that the burden was wrapped in a hundred taels of gold, a letter of letters, and a two-haired "spindle" that he had seen in the Chao family's compound before.
Song Jiang asked, "May I ask what this means?" ”
Liu Tang said: "King Chao and Wu Xuexue said that our brothers can have today, and they are all taken care of under the umbrella of Song Zhisi. This gold is a thank you gift to Song Abshi, the paper is a letter written by King Chao Tian to Song Absil, and the 'baby spindle' is a thing that Wu Xue gave to Song Absil and said that it was used in an emergency. ”
Song Jiang took the letter and held it in his hand, opened it and read it, and saw that it was Chao Gai's words of thanks to himself and the matter of persuading him to join the gang, so he said to Liu Tang: "Brother Liu, Brother Chao, Wu Xuexue and the hearts of all the brothers Song has already accepted it, but this move up the mountain is a difficult time, and money, food and property are the most important. Xiao Ke's livelihood is quite passable, and this property can never be collected. ”
Liu Tang insisted: "When I went down the mountain, I made a military order with King Chao and Wu Xuexue, if I don't accept it, I will be dealt with according to military law when I go back." ”
Song Jiang asked Liu Tang to show him the military order.
Liu Tang really took out a piece of paper from his arms, and when he came to see it, he saw that it was written: Liu Tang has an order, and this time he sent letters, gold, and spindles to Song Zhusi, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise they will be dealt with according to military law.
When Song Jiang saw it, he couldn't cry or laugh, presumably Wu Yong expected that he would excuse himself in every way. After thinking about it, he took the "baby spindle" in his hand, drew another gold bar, and said to Liu Tang: "That's it." The military order only says gold, and does not say whether one or all of them are all. I'll take these, and you will go back to your life, and you will be unscathed, and you will be rewarded for your meritorious service. ”
Liu Tang gave in again, and saw that Song Jiang still did not accept the rest of the gold, so he had to give up.
Liu Tang said: "It's not that my old Liu is troublesome, why didn't Song Zhusi go to Liangshan and drink wine with my brothers, eat meat in large pieces, wouldn't he be happy and happy, as if he was on an errand in the government?" ”
Song Jiang waved his hand and said: "I, Song Jiang, hold the imperial court, and there is a way to 'take people's money and eliminate disasters for others', and there are old fathers and brothers at home." If the grass falls, it is really not the best policy. This matter of joining the gang is also not mentioned. ”
Liu Tang really didn't mention the matter.
The two pushed the cups and changed the glasses, and when they got drunk, when they counted the wine money and went out of the wine store, Song Jiang was unsteady on his feet and almost wanted to fall. Liu Tang supported him and wanted to send him back to his residence. Song Jiang and Liu Tang supported each other and hobbled towards their residences.
Not long after, when Song Jiang looked up, he found that he had walked to Yan Poxi's residence, he had a drunken attack, and he wanted to vomit, but he couldn't say it, and he wanted to go upstairs to Po Xi's place to rest. Liu Tang supported Song Jiang from behind, and the two of them stumbled upstairs and came to the door.
When Song Jiang was about to knock on the door, he only heard the laughter of a woman and a man coming from the door. Song Jiang was suspicious, and with the help of wine, he kicked the door open. When he opened his eyes, Yan Poxi and a white descendant were lying on the bed and laughing, and when they saw Song Jiang and Liu Tang breaking in, their faces suddenly lost blood.
No matter how good Song Jiang's temper is, he can't hold it back at this moment, not to mention that there are outsiders present. Song Jiang pointed at Yan Poxi's face with trembling fingers, and said angrily: "What a good thing you have done! ”
Liu Tang didn't want to interfere, so he just stepped back to block the door, and when he looked at the window, it had been bolted.
When Song Jiang looked at the white man, he knew that it was Zhang Huanlou, a famous student of the county opera troupe, who was already trembling with feather at this time, and half of his soul had been lost. When I looked at Yan Po again, she wore heavy makeup, her face was full of bitterness, her eyes wandered, but she didn't dare to look at herself.
Song Jiang still wanted to reprimand, but a mouthful of anger and wine and food rushed up from his throat, spit on the ground, and then possessed him, and continued to vomit.
Liu Tang had no choice but to step forward and pat Song Zhusi on the back to relieve the pain.
Seeing that Song Jiang was drunk so far, Yan Poxi gradually became emboldened, glanced at Song Jiang and the others, and said in her mouth: "The useless black bag." ”
Then the **** stood up and approved only one coat. Seeing that this person was shameless, Liu Tang turned his head away and continued to stroke Song Jiang's back.
Yan Po saw that this strong man who returned home with Song Jiang seemed to be submissive and not very powerful, so she became even more presumptuous, scolded Song Jiang with her head and face, and brought Song Jiang's father, brother and ancestors.
Song Jiang's face was flushed, and he was powerless to refute, just leaning over and coughing.
Yan Poxi scolded more and more, and was only one step away from Song Jiang and Liu Tang with open arms.
Song Jiang was angry, and when he stretched out his left hand to grab her, he dropped the burden in his hand on the ground.
Yan Po was quick to pick it up, and when she opened it, she saw that it was a gold bar, a spindle-like glowing treasure, and a letter. She has also known a few words since she was a child, and she has heard a little about the arrest of the 'Birth Gang' in recent days. And the letter also wrote that there was only one gold bar in his hand, and the rest was hidden somewhere. As for the luminous treasure, it is estimated to be one of the "Birth Class", which happens to be used as a crop certificate. From this point of view, most of the big men are also thieves, so everyone has stolen goods, and there will be a reward for reporting to the official. It's just killing multiple birds with one stone.
Yan Po took it in her hand and asked Song Jiang loudly where the rest of the gold was.
When Song Jiang squinted, he found that he didn't know when his handbag arrived at Yan Poxi, and the things that Liang Shang gave him were in the hands of the mother-in-law.
Song Jiang stood up, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said ruthlessly to Yan Po: "Give me back the things quickly!" ”
Yan Po regretted and said: "I want the old lady to return you, daydreaming!" Anyone with eyes knows that this is evidence of your fornication with thieves, and when I report to the official, you will be on death row, and you will never want to turn over for the rest of your life! I advise you to obediently hand over the one hundred taels of gold, so that I can marry Zhang Lang! ”
Liu Tang untied the burden on his body and handed over the remaining gold to Song Jiang.
Song Jiang just wanted Yan Poxi to return the letter, glanced at Liu Tang, and reluctantly handed the burden to Yan Poxi.
Yan Po took it and took it, and it was really heavy, and when she looked down, Huang Chengcheng was full of gold bars, and her face was full of yellow light, and she was overjoyed.
When Song Jiang continued to ask for the things in his hand, Yan Po regretted and said: "It is a capital crime to let you go, and you still say that I am stupid?" The acquaintance quickly retreated, and we will talk about it when Zhang Lang and I get dressed! If you want to return the things in your hands, it is a fantasy! ”
Song Jiang originally thought that giving gold could be exchanged for those other things, but he didn't know that this mother-in-law was just making things difficult. Song Jiangdun felt that the three corpse gods were jumping violently, and the five spirits were flying arrogantly, so he stepped forward and snatched it in his hand.
That Yan Po regretted that she deserved to be unlucky, but she threw the gold on the bed, hugged the letter and the "spindle" in her arms, and competed with Na Song Jiang.
Song Jiang held the "baby spindle" in his hand, and only twisted it in his hand, only to see that the "baby spindle" emitted blue light patterns all over his body.
