The red sun is in the sky, and the tail of the dog days, although it is only the time of the card, it is already hot and panicked.

The drum sounded three ways, and the county magistrate of Yuncheng County had just retired from the morning office, and he saw that he was over thirty years old, and his figure was six feet, but his eyes were like a phoenix, his eyebrows were like lying silkworms, his forehead was broad, his lips were square, and he continued to wear a light mustache.

This is not someone else, but the number one person in Yuncheng County, the county government is on duty, and the rivers and lakes are called the timely rain of Shandong Hubaoyi - Song Jiang.

At this time, there were several dukes from Jeju in the teahouse who were asking Dr. Tea about the situation in the county, Song Jiang looked at the scene in the teahouse from a distance, and thought that this group of dukes who came from nowhere might have something important to come to Yuncheng County, so he lightly went to the bamboo curtain to eavesdrop.

After listening to it for a long time, he didn't hear anything useful, so he turned a corner and walked to the door of the teahouse, and at this time, the leading public was asking Dr. Tea, "I don't know which one of the Yuncheng County Ya is today?" ”

Dr. Tea was about to answer, when he looked up and saw Song Jiang walking into the tea shop, he pointed at him and said: "This is Song Zhisi on duty today, he is a well-known figure in our Yuncheng County, and he is the one who calls for timely rain on the rivers and lakes." ”

When the leading public man heard this, he straightened his face, got up to greet Song Jiang, and bowed his hand and said: "I never thought that it was the timely rain in front of Song Zhusi, and I have heard the name for a long time, and I have never met him." ”

Song Jiang hurriedly bowed and returned the salute, and said with a smile on his face: "Song Jiang is just a knife and pen official in a county office, he doesn't dare to be an adult's gift, dare to ask his brother Gao's surname?" ”

The leading public man held Song Jiang and said, "It is He Tao, the envoy of Jeju Prefecture, who came to Yuncheng County today for an important matter, please ask for help." ”

"Observation is the person sent by the boss Yamen to take care of, how dare the little official slack off. I don't know why the thief is in trouble? But please say it bluntly, the little official will do it. Song Jiang heard that He Tao was the arresting envoy of Jeju Mansion, and hurriedly bowed down and answered.

He Tao saw that Song Jiang was so happy, but he felt that this person lived up to such a reputation, and said bluntly: "A gang of thieves in Huangnigang under the jurisdiction of our county robbed the eleven quintals of gold and jewelry sent by Liang Zhongshu of the Daimyo Mansion to send Taishi Cai, and the total amount should be 100,000 yuan. Today, a thief was called Bai Sheng, and he identified that there were seven other thieves in Guixian. This is a special task sent by the Taishi Mansion, and it is the top business of the Mansion now, and I hope that the Detention Division will maintain it. ”

When Song Jiang heard this, his body shook suddenly, and he vaguely guessed something, but his face was angry and said: "Who is the thief so bold, Song Jiang dares not to arrest and send it, but I don't know what the names of the remaining seven thieves who confessed are?" ”

"That Bai Sheng only said that the leader was Baozheng Chao Gai and Mr. Wu Yong from Waidongxi Village, Yuncheng County, but the other five people were unknown." He Tao replied.

Song Jiang listened, and the turbulent waves turned in his heart, that Chao Gai was his righteous brother, who was generous and bold and righteous on weekdays, but he was not a master who lacked money, and he never thought that he would do such a monstrous disaster quietly. Only at this time, Song Jiang didn't have time to think about why Chao Gai wanted to rob the Birth Gang, and only secretly said that now he has committed a great crime, if he doesn't save him, his life will be gone.

Song Jiang made a decision in his heart, but he said: "Chao Gai, this traitorous and stubborn household, he has done all the evil things on weekdays, but now he has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and if he does such a big thing, he should be cut with a thousand knives, please rest assured that the little officials will help him wholeheartedly." ”

He Tao listened to his words, took out an official document from his arms, and said to Song Jiang: "This is a sealed official document issued by the Jeju government, please ask the priest to do this." ”

Song Jiang glanced at the official document, and could guess what was written on it without looking at it, so he only said with a straight face: "That Chao Gai and the others don't know what happened at this time, and the arrest of those guys is like catching turtles in an urn, and they are caught with their hands. ”

"The priest said this, so he asked the priest to introduce Shi Xianzun." He Tao arched his hand.

Song Jiang showed a little embarrassment on his face, and after a moment of muttering, he said: "The county lord has dispersed the morning office, and he is resting in the back mansion when he is tired, but he doesn't care, Song Jiang will go to invite him, and observe it later." ”

He Tao saw that his face was angry and embarrassed, and listened to his words, and he also knew in his heart that it was a disaster to disturb Shangguan, and he had a good impression of this Song Abbot, so he got up and thanked him: "There is a labor division, if the county is to blame, He Mou will definitely talk to the assistant of the charging division." ”

Only He Tao from Jeju knew that the officials of Yuncheng County colluded closely, and Song Jiang's words were just pretexts, in order to stabilize him and go to report to Chao Gai.

Song Jiang got up, said goodbye to He Tao, walked quickly into the county office, and went straight to the arrest room.

In the arrest room, the Yuncheng County infantry are all head plugged in the wings of the tiger Lei Heng is buried in the case at this time, that day after listening to Hu Qing'e's words in the restaurant, Lei Heng meditated hard, and talked about it at night, and the old lady who was more than old only opened a pair of white eyes and said a word.

"Son, if you weren't the head of this county, would you be able to live to this day?"

This sentence hit Lei Heng's heart hard, and all kinds of bullying in the past came to his heart, making the seven-foot man feel ashamed and embarrassed, and he hugged his mother and cried all night.

Since then, the people of Yuncheng County suddenly found that the head of Lei Du, who had bullied and dominated the market in the past, seemed to be a different person, not only did he no longer oppress his beloved, but whenever he encountered a splash that collided with the people, he stepped forward to stop it; I heard that the people in the county were struggling to make a living, and they took the initiative to help; The arrest of robbers in the county is also particularly concerned, and he always takes the lead and charges ahead.

Over the course of a few months, the former notoriety gradually dissipated, and some of the people who had received his favor privately called him "Lei Gong".

Song Jiang stood at the door of the arrest room, looking inward at Lei Heng, and was also very emotional in his heart, although this brother is still as close to him as in the past, but Song Jiang still has a feeling of drifting away from him.

Lei Heng in the room felt that he was being watched, and when he looked up, he looked at Song Jiang at the door, and saw that he was making a look at himself, so he hurriedly got up and walked out of the arrest room.

Song Jiang pulled Lei Heng to a secret place, and said in a low and solemn voice: "Brother, now that my brother has a big day, I need you to take on some responsibilities, what do you think?" ”

When Lei Heng heard this, his face froze, and after a while, he bowed to Song Jiang with a serious face and said, "Brother, it doesn't matter, on weekdays, Brother Lei Heng takes care of Brother Meng, only in the water, and in the fire." ”

Song Jiang saw that he didn't have the slightest bit of a pretentious attitude, so he continued: "Brother should have heard about the theft of Mrs. Cai of Huangnigang a month ago, but it was done by Chao Baozheng of Dongxi Village and Professor Wu led by him, and now that the incident has happened, the Jeju Mansion sent someone to get him, fortunately he bumped into my hands, and he came to you to discuss." ”

Lei Heng listened, but his heart was surging like a tide, and he only said secretly: That Chao Bao was arrogant in the past, and he had a lot of dealings with himself, but now he has committed this catastrophe, for the sake of righteousness, but it is not easy not to save it. Sidewalk:

"What does my brother think?"

"I intended to go to Dongxi Village to inform Yu Chao Baozheng and let him escape from Yuncheng County as soon as possible, and the arrest envoy He Tao from Jeju was stabilized by me in the teahouse opposite the county office, and asked my brother to send someone to keep an eye on it, and at the same time pay more attention to the movements of the county order and the blue-eyed tiger Li Yun, and go back quickly for my brother." Song Jiang informed him of the plan.

Lei Heng listened, nodded in response, Song Jiang didn't say much, separated from Lei Heng, went to the Houya stable to find a good horse, then went out of the back door of the county government, and quickly went towards Dongxi Village.
