Chapter 100: Return to the capital
It turned out that these two people were Shan Shiqi and Jiang Zhongpin. The two went to Peach Blossom Mountain on Tian Hu's orders during this time, wanting to include Peach Blossom Mountain in Tian Hu's sphere of influence. It was Jiang Zhongpin, the little door god, who spoke. Speaking of the little door god, everyone may not know, but when it comes to Jiang Menshen, all "Water Margin" lovers know everything. Jiang Menshen's surname is Jiang Mingzhong, and his name is Western, but he was removed by Wu Song to snatch the happy forest of grace. In this time and space, Wu Song did not meet him, but first met his brother Xiaomen God.
Hearing the little door god say this, Li Zhong said: "We didn't promise to join the command of the master of Tian Zongzhai, we only promised you to rob the birth gang together some time ago, and then one of them will give you two percent of the money, and your two shares are still there." This is Zhao Zhuangyuan, the same acquaintance of Kaifeng Mansion, and these people are his errand staff. Now, we lost the competition, and the conditions agreed to them will naturally be followed, as for the part of the birth gang of the two of them, it is up to you to negotiate with Zhao Gongzi, if he agrees to take you away, you can take it away. ”
"What Zhao Gongzi, he knows what a yellow-haired boy who has not dried up. 100,000 Birthday Gang, you don't want it, our Tian Zongzhai master wants it all, I want to see who dares to be the enemy of Hebei Tianhu today. The little door god continued to go on a rampage.
"This is a mad dog from there, and it has been screaming and biting at the enemy. If Tian Hu is as arrogant and ignorant as you, how can he become a hero on the leader's side. If you think you really have the ability, let's give it a try, and if you lose, you just keep your mouth shut, and go back to where you came from. If you want all the Birthday Gang, go to the Daimyo Mansion to find me and Lu Junyi Lu Yuanwai, as long as you win me and Lu Junyi, the 100,000 Birthday Gang will be yours. Fang Tianjie raised the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand and said.
"It's like that, I think I, Jiang Zhongpin, will also be a countless hero, and there are too few people who really admire me. Today, we are divided in fists and feet. ”
So the two of them exchanged fists and feet, and they fought. Jiang Zhongping is nearly 30 years old, has rich experience in fighting, and is also guided by a famous teacher. Fang Tianjie was born with divine power, and after Zhou Dong's guidance, he was even more brave. Seven or eight rounds later, Fang Tianjie rushed into the middle palace with a punch, Jiang Zhongping couldn't resist it with both palms at all, and was hit in the abdomen by the opponent with a punch and fell to the ground. Fang Tianjie gave up and turned around and walked towards Zhao Chongyang.
I only heard Duan Sanniang roaring: "Thief, you dare!" A flying stone hit and knocked down a flying knife that Jiang Zhongpin had sneaked into Fang Tianjie's back.
Fang Tianjie turned around and picked up the flying knife to take a look, only to see the blue light on the blade flashing, which was clearly quenched and highly poisonous. I couldn't help but be angry in my heart, and when I saw that Jiang Zhongpin had already sat up from the ground, I shook my right hand: "I'll give you back what you have!" The voice did not fall, and the flying knife hit Jiang Zhongpin's throat in the morning. A cloud of black blood spurted out, and this little door god had already paid with his life for his stupidity.
Zhao Chongyang said to Shan Shiqi, who was stunned: "Are you the hero of Hebei Famous Heroes and Shan Shiqi Mountain?" You have also seen that Jiang Zhongpin, the god of the small door, lost the martial arts competition, which is a common thing for martial artists to compete with each other. Who knew that he was resentful, and hurt people with a highly poisonous hidden weapon, and the second brother under my hand returned his secret weapon to him, because he was not good at learning his own arts, and he did not catch the dart and died, this is deserved, not that the people of our Wantong Chamber of Commerce ignore the rules of the rivers and lakes, and want to kill it. ”
Shan Shiqi replied: "This guy has always done things without paying attention to the rules of the rivers and lakes, I am used to doing my own thing, this time he used a secret weapon to sneak attack first, it is indeed no wonder that this Fang hero." It's just that the two of us were instructed by the owner of our Tian Zongzhai this time to transport the money back to the general village, and went back empty-handed. ”
"I don't know how much the mountain hero's share is worth?" Zhao Chongyang asked.
"At the beginning, the Birth Gang was in Shandong, and it was near Erlong Mountain, so we chose to unite with Erlong Mountain. At the beginning, it was agreed that we would only send two generals and officers and soldiers who were responsible for the escort, and they were responsible for looting the property and transporting it back to the cottage. After the matter was completed, all of them went out, and most of them accounted for 60% of the birthday, and we accounted for 20% of the total, accounting for 40% of the total. "Shanshiqi said.
Zhao Chongyang said: "Jiang Zhongpin lost the competition, and he can't be the master of your two percent, so he will return it to you, and his has already lost to us." After a while, you can choose a few horses and a few carriages on the mountain, and I know that you have people on the mountain, so let them help you drive back to meet your master Tianhu. After going back, tell Tian Hu that the Jin people are not invincible in the world, and sooner or later I, Zhao Chongyang, will lead the troops to destroy the Jin country, hoping that he will not get too close to the Jin people. Wang Qing demarcated the business community with our Wantong Chamber of Commerce in Huaixi, and we supported him to make good things such as liquor, and he made more than 2 million yuan last year. If you are willing to cooperate with us, he will mainly operate Hebei West Road in the future. North Shaanxi Road, Daliao, Xixia and other places can negotiate with Wang Qing, Hebei East Road and Shandong and other places should not come, Henan will be subject to the territory occupied now, and the goods needed will be transferred to you from the Daimyo's mansion, and try to give priority to meeting your needs. In this way, it is guaranteed that you will earn an extra 500,000 yuan a year, and by the end of next year, like Wang Qing and them, you can earn more than 2 million yuan a year. If you are willing, let Tian Hu personally take someone to Taiming Mansion to discuss with Lu Junyi. ”
Shan Shiqi hurriedly thanked and said that he would definitely bring Zhao Gongzi's words to ......
The next day, Fang Tianjie, Lin Chong and others packed up the materials of the cottage, and the people of Erlongshan followed Fang Tianjie to the Daimyo Mansion to accept the reorganization. The Birthday Gang was escorted back to Kaifeng by Lin Chong, Wu Song and others.
Everyone walked to the boundary of Baihu Mountain, and suddenly the soldiers came to report: "The brothers Kong Ming and Kong Liang, the heroes of Baihu Mountain, came to Zhao Gongzi and Wantong Chamber of Commerce with their families and eight or nine hundred people, asking to be taken in. ”
Zhao Chongdao: "Please invite the two Kong heroes to come and meet." ”
Zhao Chongyang got out of the carriage and took Lin Chong, Wu Song, Yan Qing, Shi Qian, Qiu Qionghu and others to greet him. The soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces automatically flashed on both sides of the main road. After walking more than 20 meters, they saw two young people in their twenties striding towards them. When they were a few miles away from them, the two brothers knelt on the ground and said in unison: "The two brothers of Baihu Mountain, Kong Ming and Kong Liang, meet Zhao Gongzi. ”
Zhao Chongyang saw that the two of them paid a big salute, and hurriedly ran over and helped the two of them up one by one: "The two brothers of the Kong family hurry up and kill the younger brother." Then he introduced Lin Chong, Wu Song and others to Erkong one by one. The two of them were originally from Qingzhou, Shandong, and Wu Song, the hero of fighting tigers, was very famous in Shandong, and when they saw Wu Song himself today, they were all young heroes in their early twenties, just like their brothers.
That night, everyone went to the lodging, Zhao Chongyang set up wine and the Kong brothers to catch the wind, everyone talked and laughed during the banquet, Zhao Chongyang secretly congratulated himself in his heart that he got two more happy subordinates.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Chongyang said to Wu Song: "Second Brother Wu and Brother Kong, Second Brother Kong are all from Shandong, and now there is a second senior brother Lin Chong in Beijing, so it is better to take the two Confucian brothers to open up the trade routes in Shandong, and at the same time remember to visit the three heroes of the Ruan family, the third senior brother Shi Wengong, the king of Tota Chao Gai, and the teacher Mr. Wu Yong and others. My brother-in-law is the prefect of Jinan Prefecture, Huang Fengming, Lord Huang, and the Tongzhi of Jeju is my senior brother and my cousin-in-law Wang Dakuan, and the Zhizhou of Dengzhou is my eldest brother-in-law Zhou Daifu, these second brothers Wu all know each other. You can start from Jeju as a close neighbor, and you can do business with the local wealthy people, and you mainly provide security.
You can go to Xiangzhou Yuejiazhuang first, ask the master to accept the two as registered disciples, and when you have time, the second brother Wu can pass on the art on behalf of the teacher, and rightfully guide the martial arts of the two brothers. If there is nothing to do, it will be based on one year, and after one year, Second Brother Wu can return to Jingshi. Seeing that Zhao Gongzi arranged it like this, the three of them naturally had no opinion, and Wu Song could also go to Fan's house to visit his little nephew Wu Jun at any time.
Not to mention that Wu Song returned to Yuejiazhuang with the Confucian brothers and the cottagers, it is only said that after Zhao Chongyang broke up with Wu Song and others in Xiangzhou, he went to the state government to meet his classmate Xie Zhengyuan. Xie Zhengyuan was about to thank Zhao Chongyang for his great kindness, and set up a banquet in the back hall of the yamen, and he and the heroes were washed away.
The next day, the two exchanged views on some matters of government affairs. At the same time, Zhao Chongyang reminded Xie Zhengyuan to pay attention to the control of local soldiers and horses, and the commanders of Xiangzhou's soldiers and horses, capital supervisors, and regimental training must keep abreast of their situation at any time, and let the beggars help Xiangzhou's rudder to help supervise them at any time. Xie Zhengyuan nodded "yes".
Zhao Chongyang stayed in Xiangzhou for a day and participated in the newly opened Wantong Restaurant here by the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, as well as the winery, perfume factory, earthen lacquer furniture factory and cement factory, and transferred part of Tangyin's industry here, and prepared to build a cement building here.
In late August, Zhao Chongyang and others continued to escort the birthday gang on the road. Sleeping and eating all the way, I finally arrived in Beijing on the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, before the Double Ninth Festival. In the afternoon of the same day, he took Lin Chong, Shi Qian and others to deliver the 100,000 Guan Birthday Gang to the chief butler of the Taishi Mansion. At the same time, Zhao Chongyang also entered the inner mansion to explain to Cai Jing the process of exterminating Erlong Mountain this time. Zhao Chongyang said that the main culprit Shan Shiqi fled, Jiang Zhongpin was beheaded by the chief catcher Lin Chong, this time to exterminate the bandits of Erlong Mountain, thanks to Lin Chong, Wu Song charged into battle to achieve such a result, these two are strong martial arts loyal and righteous people, please Taishi in the future to promote and reuse them. Cai Jing said to Zhao Chongyang: "You are not short of money, you will help me out of the bonus of the expedition personnel, I have remembered the help you have helped this time, and I have also remembered the merits of Lin Chong and Wu Song, and if there is a vacancy, give them a suitable position."
It is precisely because of this commitment that Cai Jing really wants to get close to Luo Zhao Chongyang. Lin Chong and Wu Song later became the first people under Zhao Chongyang to become officers.
