Chapter 293: The Fall Between the Timely Rain

Of course, Song Jiang came to the capital to seek revenge on Bai Sheng, but it was indeed not his proposal to come to Beijing this time.

The person who wants to be ashamed of himself the most is Li Kui, and the other three were all encouraged by Li Kui, and shouted for revenge with Li Kui, but he, the eldest brother, had no choice but to agree.

So, how did these guys rally around him? It all started two months ago.

It is said that when he had a dispute with Bai Sheng, Shi Wenbin, the magistrate of Yuncheng County, saw that Li Qingzhao was "iron-faced and selfless", and there was no official to protect him, so he was sent to Jiangzhou.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the section level in the north of the Yangtze River was also known as the parent, and the section level in the south of the Yangtze River became the dean, so people respected Dai Zong as Dean Dai.

Song Jiang sent Jiangzhou, and the errand officials of Yuncheng naturally would not frame him like Dong Chao and Xue Ba of Kaifeng Mansion who murdered Lin Chong, on the contrary, the escorts in Yuncheng were very polite to Song Jiang, after all, they were all Song Jiang's subordinates, and they knew that Song Jiang had deep connections in the Yuncheng area.

Therefore, before Song Jiang left Yuncheng, the messenger allowed him to drink a send-off wine with Haoqiang in the Yuncheng area, and among the people who participated in the send-off were Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Zhu Tong, Lei Heng, Liu Tang and Ruan's Sanxiong.

At that time, Wu Yong wrote a letter to Dai Zong and asked Song Jiang to take it with him, so that Song Jiang could be taken care of when he arrived in Jiangzhou. Wu Yong and Dai Zong have been friends for many years, and they are confident that there is no problem in asking Dean Dai to do this.

Interestingly, although Bai Sheng's butterfly wings caused Song Jiang to be sent to Jiangzhou a year early, he still did not escape a catastrophe in Jieyangling.

That Jieyang Ridge is a treacherous low mountain near Jiangzhou, and it is the only way to go to Jiangzhou.

On weekdays, Li Jun went out to sell illicit salt with Tong Wei and Tong Meng, but Li Li ran a black shop at the foot of Jieyangling Mountain, specializing in killing passers-by in order to seek money.

When Song Jiang and the two dukes passed through Jieyangling, of course, they had to stop to eat and rest. So it became Li Li's best goal.

Just because Song Jiang brought a lot of gold and silver, he was very attentive to the two princes along the way, but there were hotels and inns, so he had to order the best wine and food to drink with the public, first, to ensure that his nutrition was not lacking, and secondly, he also had a good relationship with the officials.

He asked for the best wine and the best food, how could Li Li not know that he had run into a local tyrant? Without saying a word, he immediately turned it over with sweat medicine, and if it weren't for Li Jun, the owner of the big village, who happened to come back, this life would have been lost at Li Li's hands.

Li Jun is a thoughtful person, and when he saw that among the belongings found by Li Li was the letter from Wu to Dai Zong, he asked Li Li to move slowly.

This Song Jiang can't be killed, if you kill him, it is equivalent to provoking the underworld figures in the country, not only can you not kill him, but you also have to treat him as a guest and worship him as the boss.

Over the years, Song Jiang has sponsored countless gangsters who have killed people and overstepped their goods and committed adultery, and these gangsters have felt their kindness and naturally spread Song Jiang's "righteousness" all over the rivers and lakes. Even the country's No. 1 underworld boss Chai Daguan obeys Song Jiang, doesn't it explain the problem?

Although Li Li didn't think so, he didn't dare to disobey Li Jun's intentions.

In this way, before Song Jiang arrived at the Jiangzhou cell, he first accepted Li Jun and Li Li's two younger brothers.

After arriving at the Jiangzhou cell, Song Jiang took out his consistent style of mixing with society, and acted extremely generously, throwing out a lot of money to deal with the upper and lower levels, plus Wu Yong's letters, and immediately mingled with Dai Zong, Li Kui and others, and accepted him as a junior brother.

So Song Jiang lived a happy life in Jiangzhou, even more nourishing than when he was in Yuncheng. In Yuncheng, he is somewhat busy with official work, while in Jiangzhou, he is only responsible for drinking wine, eating meat, and bragging.

Because Song Jiang likes to eat fish, Li Kui specially bought fish for Song Jiang to eat, and thus made friends with the brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun on the Xunyang River, and the two brothers Mu Hong and Mu Chun in Jieyang Town.

So far, the three tyrants of Jieyang have all become Song Jiang's younger brothers, and on the ground in Jiangzhou, except for the prefect Cai Dezhang who was kept in the dark, and a cadre of cronies and officials, Song Jiang is already an existence that no one can provoke.

When the days are moist, it is inevitable that homesickness will be born, and Song Jiang will be homesick.

After all, in his hometown of Shandong, there is still his father Song Taigong and his younger brother Song Qing, who is an iron fan, and when he saw that the New Year was approaching, he wanted to go back to visit. Anyway, there is a dean Dai in the Jiangzhou labor camp, and there will be no harm if he leaves for a month or two.

So on the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, when the brothers were drinking upstairs in Xunyang, Song Jiang put forward this idea, and several brothers naturally agreed after hearing it, and they all said that they would prepare a generous gift for Song Taigong and let Song Jiang take it back to be filial.

When a few people were discussing what gifts to prepare, they heard someone at the wine table next to them telling a story with a smile, saying that there was a Henan in the capital and how the rain was coming.

This statement attracted the attention of Song Jiang and others, there is only one Shandong in the world sitting here, where does Henan come from?

After only listening for a moment, I already understood a general idea.

It turned out that the story was told by a local businessman who had just returned to his hometown Jiangzhou from a business trip in Beijing.

According to the merchants, there was a man named Bai Sheng in Jingshi, who was said to be a villager in Yuncheng County, who made a fortune by mining and operating coal, and even many merchants bought Bai Sheng's coal and shipped it to other state capitals, and they also made a fortune.

People gave this Bai Sheng a nickname, Henan timely rain. It means that whoever gets involved with Bai Sheng will be able to make a fortune.

Li Kui exploded when he heard this, and he beat the businessman with a blue nose and swollen face when he split his head and covered his face, "Then what is the timely rain of Bai Sheng? If you dare to preach Henan and timely rain, I will kill you!"

Dai Zong and others knew what Song Jiang was assigned for, because there was an official document sent by Yuncheng County to Jiangzhou, even if Song Jiang himself didn't say it, the official document file was clearly written.

But in Song Jiang's mouth, it must be said that Bai Sheng seduced his woman, and then led to a chaotic battle, so that he accidentally killed Yan Poxi's mother.

Although Song Jiang didn't talk about the shameful incident of Bai Sheng breaking his son and grandson, it is also true that he was injured by Bai Sheng and recuperated for many days.

So Li Kui and the others had already talked about looking for Bai Sheng to take revenge, just because they didn't know where Bai Sheng went.

Although Wu Yong later sent another letter, saying that he had seen Bai Sheng in Wei County, and guessed in the letter that Bai Sheng had passed through Wei County instead of settling down, and suspected that Bai Sheng might enter Beijing, but suspicion was suspicion after all, and it was impossible to mobilize the people to take revenge based on suspicion.

What should I do if I can't find anyone when I go?

But after this Jiangzhou merchant said this, how could everyone not know that Bai Sheng had settled in the capital? Immediately, the crowd was furious, and they all shouted that they wanted to go to the capital to kill Bai Sheng and avenge Song Jiang.

Song Jiang couldn't suppress it, so he had to follow a few brothers to the capital.

Originally, Song Jiang wanted to go back to Yuncheng to visit his father and brother first, and then discuss with Wu Yong and others before coming to the capital, but Li Kui and others did not agree.

Do you still need to find a brother in Shandong to kill Bai Sheng? Doesn't that make it seem that these brothers in Jiangzhou are too incompetent? It is not too late to kill Bai Sheng first, and then everyone will go back to Shandong to visit their father and brother together.

So Li Li was left to take care of the cottage in Jieyangling, and the two brothers Mu Hong and Mu Chun were left to maintain order on the road in Jieyang Town and Jiangzhou City, and Tong Wei and Tong Meng were left to continue to operate the illegal salt business, and only the five of them rushed to Bianjing.

The five of them came to the capital on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and when they entered the city to inquire, they were immediately frightened, is this Bai Sheng really the daytime rat in Anle Village, Yuncheng?

Imperial Martial Arts Captain! Taishi Protégé! Senior Disciple of the Imperial Boxing Gym! Moreover, he is a senior disciple who is more powerful than Lu Junyi and Lin Chong! The four famous people of Kaifeng Mansion are arrested as bodyguards! Dare to eat Fan Lou's overlord meal! Dare to beat the second-generation Gao Yanei of the famous official! The quasi-martial champion of this year's martial arts examination!

With so many halos on Bai Sheng's body, where is it so simple as just having money? How can such a person be killed?

Hearing this, Song Jiang had already retreated in his heart, but he couldn't say it. Because once he says it, he won't be able to mix in the rivers and lakes in the future.

Cut off the hatred of the children and grandchildren, seize the hatred of the junior, and the person who can hold back the revenge with such a big hatred can be the prime minister, such as Fan Li of the Yue Kingdom, but such a person can't be the boss of the underworld, and no one will follow such a scumbag to mix with society.

Not only did no one follow him, but he couldn't even mix it himself.

So he also had to show the belief that Bai Sheng would kill the stronger he was, and pass on this belief to the other four people, so that the brothers would know that he Song Jiang was the one who dared to do great things.

It's just that if you want to kill such a Bai Sheng, you can't hit the door with the gong and the drum in front of you, you have to pay attention to strategy, and you have to plan before acting.

Song Jiang's proposal was supported by the brothers. In addition to Li Kui, whether it is Dai Zong, Li Jun or Zhang Shun, they are all scheming characters, of course they know that such a white victory is not easy to kill.

Even if the assassination is successful, it is necessary to leave a way out and eliminate the evidence of the crime, so as not to cause endless troubles in the future.

You killed Cai Jing's desperate protector, can Cai Jing give up with you?

Don't say anything else, just say that Cai Dezhang, the prefect of Jiangzhou, is Cai Jing's ninth son! Whether it is a concubine or a concubine or an illegitimate child, anyway, people think Cai Jing is his father!

Dai Zong and Li Kui are both begging for a living under Cai Dezhang and Cai Governor's Mansion, and Li Jun and Zhang Shun are also living on the ground in Jiangzhou.

However, just as they were quietly discussing how to kill Bai Sheng, they suddenly heard that Bai Sheng had been beaten by a Ruzhou juzi named Niu Gao, and he was seriously injured and dying.

This time, Song Jiang was overjoyed. When Dai Zong and the others heard the news, they wanted to leave the capital and go to Shandong immediately, but Song Jiang disagreed, saying that he had to wait until Bai Sheng's funeral, and he would personally come to the door and send a wreath to Bai Sheng in order to understand this grudge.

Everyone knew his intentions, so they followed him, and then gathered in the inn every day to drink and have fun, only sending Dai Zong and Zhang Shun to monitor Bai Sheng's front and back yards one after another, waiting for Bai Sheng's death.

But just yesterday evening, Dai Zong hurriedly returned to the inn and said that Bai Sheng had nothing to do at all, he had just ridden out on horseback, and he should have gone to take the martial arts exam.

This news was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, shattering Song Jiang's dream, and the brothers immediately discussed urgently, and according to the previous method, sneaked into Bai Sheng's mansion while he was not at home.

Zhang Shun took Yan Poxi and Pan Jinlian to the boat, leaving the other four to fight Bai Sheng's ambush in the courtyard.
