Outside of Tokyo.

"Brother, Dragon Banner!"

Shi Qian smiled and handed over the dragon flag he had gotten.

"Well done, everything is going well, right?"

Sun Lei looked at Shi Qian with a smile and asked.

"Brother, I met ...... at night"

Shi Qian told him about meeting Wang Qing, Deng Yuanjue, and Tian Ding.

"Oh, everyone chose to do it last night!"

Sun Lei touched his chin and said unexpectedly, it seems that the other three forces are still very concerned about the reputation of the rivers and lakes.

"Brother, what should we do next? When the younger brother left the city, there were already soldiers and horses mobilized, and the imperial court was likely to seal the city and search it. ”

Shi Qian said.

"Haha, I've already chartered a flower boat, let's go back to the city!"

Sun Lei pointed to the flower boat behind him and smiled.

"Brother, I'm afraid it's dangerous to enter the city again!"

Shi Qian hurriedly said, how can anyone return it after stealing something.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place! It's dangerous if we go! ”

Sun Lei shook his head.

"The city of Tokyo can't be sealed, now it's the New Year's Festival, the flow of people inside and outside the city is very large, the city gate can't be kept open, the bustling city of Tokyo needs to be supported all day long, you just look at the goods transported into the city every day, if it's broken, it's going to be a big mess!"

"In addition, we have lived in the Champion Building for several days, and many people know us, isn't it self-confessed that this sudden disappearance?"

"I have discussed with several military advisors, the imperial court is very likely to adopt a strategy of tightening the outside and loosening the inside, and the entire area around Kaifeng Mansion will be as usual, but the road leaving Kaifeng Mansion will be blocked."

Sun Lei looked at Shi Qian and explained.

"But then we won't be able to leave!"

Shi Qian asked suspiciously.

"Haha, how conscientious are you as an official? If you can't catch someone for a few days, it's not a good thing! What's more, the exam will start soon, this is a big deal, hundreds of thousands of candidates are in the city, and they can't be busy, who is in the mood to catch thieves? ”

Sun Lei said with a smile.

Everyone got on the flower boat and slowly walked along the Bianhe River to the city of Tokyo, and the river was congested when crossing the Odori Water Gate.

After entering the city, I saw soldiers searching everywhere in the streets, and there were already many people in the city of Tokyo.

The flower boat turned into the Cai River and came to the vicinity of the champion building.

"Brother Cui!"

Sun Lei waved and shouted at Cui Yulin and the others by the river.

"It's really Senior Sun! Didn't you say we had a treat! ”

Seeing that Sun Lei really chartered a flower boat, Cui Yulin and the others stepped forward with a smile on their faces and hugged their fists.

"Get on the boat, let's take a boat trip to Tokyo today!"

Sun Lei said with a smile, since it is a pretending candidate, it is natural to do a full set, several of these people have family members who are officials in Tokyo, and there are these people who are not afraid of the official search.

On the tenth day of the first month, the examination will start as scheduled in Guozijian.

Three days after the start of the exam, Sun Lei retreated from the small courtyard of the champion building, looking like he had not done well in the exam and had already lost his name to Sun Shan.

This move is not surprising, each time hundreds of thousands of people will try, only more than 100 people can get into the jinshi, at least half of the exams will be taken, and then there will be a lot of them one after another, and only a small number of people can really wait until a few months later.

Sun Lei didn't go to Fang La, Wang Qing, Tian Hu and those people, and the news spread on the rivers and lakes the day after the dragon flag was stolen, saying that Liang Shanbo won the dragon flag, beat Hebei Tianhu, Huaixi Wang Qing, and Jiangnan La, and won the hero conference again.

Sun Lei did not take the land route this time, but chartered a boat to go by water.

"Brother, where are we going?"

Lu Fang looked at Sun Lei at the bow of the boat and asked.

"Go north, go to Huazhou!"

Sun Lei said with a smile that Song Jiang and those people had already gone to Huazhou to take office.

Because Cai Jing was there, Cai Qian was directly appointed as a martial arts doctor (from the sixth grade), a defense envoy in Huazhou, and a concurrently known in Huazhou.

Song Jiang is now the commander of the Huazhou garrison under Cai Qi, Xiu Wuxuan (Zheng Bapin), Hu Yanzhuo is the commander of the army and Cong Yilang (from the eighth product), Guan Sheng is the commander of the army in the army, Bingyi Lang (from the eighth product), and Chao Gai is the partial colonel and Zhongxun Lang (Zheng Jiupin).

"Slippery?"

Hua Rong knew that Song Jiang had gone to Huazhou, and his face was a little unnatural.

"I heard that Chao Gai and Song Jiang had a dispute, and I almost did it when I was in Tokyo, and now I am afraid that I will part ways when I go to Huazhou."

Sun Lei said with a smile.

After Cai Jing helped Song Jiang and others to ask for official positions, Song Jiang and others were overjoyed and got together to drink and have fun, Chao Gai drank too much, so he complained a few words, but Song Jiang's batch of hardcores was unwilling, and they almost fought.

Now Song Jiang and others first led troops to Huazhou to garrison, and Cai Qian still stayed in Tokyo, and it is estimated that he will not take office until after January.

"Parting ways?"

Hua Rong's face changed greatly, Song Jiang is famous for his benevolence and righteousness, how could that group of people make such a fuss.

"Am I being gentle? It's time to break up! ”

Sun Lei thought that Hua Rong didn't understand, he mixed with those candidates during this time, and he was somewhat elegant, and his words were a little literal!

"The younger brother knows, it's just that Song Jiang has a good reputation, and the younger brother didn't expect them to be like this."

Hua Rong opened his mouth and said, it is easy to break up in the rivers and lakes, once the gang is dispersed, it is indispensable to be pointed at, and it will be difficult to have a place in the rivers and lakes in the future.

"What's impossible? Song Jiang and Chao Gai are basically two kinds of people, Song Jiang is exquisite, good at drilling, thinking about fame and fortune, glory and wealth. And Chao Gai is just the opposite, Chao Gai is a rough person, likes to be quick and righteous, unrestrained, born to be a bandit, not an official at all. ”

Sun Lei said with a smile that Chao Gai and Song Jiang were both famous heroes in the rivers and lakes at the beginning, and they were also righteous and wealthy, helping the needy, and making friends with heroes in the rivers and lakes.

But Song Jiang just used the reputation of the rivers and lakes to pave the way for the official road, and Chao Gai wanted to take root in the rivers and lakes.

"Brother, they won't fight, will they?"

Wu Song looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"It's hard to say!"

Sun Lei shook his head, Chao Gai's death in the original book was very strange, there was no Zhao'an at that time, and the conflict of interest was not serious, and Chao Gai had already died inexplicably. Now that Song Jiang has an official position of Zhengbapin, this blocking people's wealth is like killing his parents, and it is not unusual for Song Jiang to do anything.

"Ahh

Wu Song's face changed, Sun Lei had never been allowed to speak, and the three words "not good" were already a positive answer.

"If it's really a fight, Chao Gai has no chance of winning!"

Xiao Jiasui opened his mouth and said, most of those people are loyal to Song Jiang, Chao Gai has long had few cronies, and once he does it, Chao Gai will be a dead end.

"It's not like that, they all have official positions now, if they can't be said to be fighting anymore, it will be defined as a rebellion?"

Lin Chong opened his mouth and said, now those people in Song Jiang are court officials, and rebellion is a heavier crime than rebellion.

"You reminded me, Song Jiang gave Chao Gai'an a charge of rebellion, can't this get rid of Chao Gai in a righteous and bright way?"

Sun Lei was told by Lin Chong, and suddenly thought of a possibility, so that Song Jiang could not only kill Chao Gai, but also pick himself clean.
