As soon as Song Jiang entered the door, he hurriedly said to Zhou Tong: "Senior, the situation in Suzhou City is getting worse and worse now, and today I see that there are many more people around this inn." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info I don't think these people are targeting anyone else, it seems that they are just to keep an eye on you. ”

Zhou Tong said calmly: "There are indeed a lot of people around the inn, but it is not necessarily for the two of us. There are a lot of people living in the inn, and there are naturally more people to take care of them than before. ”

Song Jiang shook his head and sighed: "Senior, you don't know, these people, some of them are indeed sent by the government, but there are some people who are not from the government, they may be from the rivers and lakes." ”

"If they want to watch, let them keep an eye on it. Zhou Tong said: "I don't plan to do anything, they definitely won't do anything to me." ”

"Hey!" Song Jiang said: "But they don't think so, especially when Lord Zeng and you met on the street and chatted for a while, which caused a lot of reactions in the rivers and lakes." In addition, now the officers and soldiers are assigned around the inn, and there are already many discussions on the rivers and lakes. ”

"Then what do they say?" Zhou Dong asked.

Song Jiang replied: "It's nothing more than saying that you colluded with the imperial court. And because you used to be in the imperial court, now the repercussions are getting bigger and bigger. ”

Zhou Tong exhaled at this time and asked, "Then what do you think I should do now?" ”

Song Jiang said: "Now that Suzhou City is in crisis, it is better to leave here." ”

Zhou Tong laughed at himself: "Leave, isn't that just what they say, one can say that I colluded with the court, and the other can say that I contacted the rivers and lakes, these two knives are stuck in my chest, I can't stand it." ”

Song Jiang persuaded: "If you stay in Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, you can save your life, and you will have the opportunity to prove your innocence in the future." ”

Zhou Tong firmly refused: "I have lived for most of my life, although I haven't lived enough, but it is not uncommon to hide like this and let others comment." I have made up my mind, Suzhou City, I must stride away, not flee, or sneak around. ”

"Okay!" Song Jiang said: "Then I didn't say it, but you also have to be careful." ”

Zhou Tong revealed Chao Gai's suggestion to Song Jiang: "You say, since the people in the rivers and lakes and the court are guessing about me, can I find a chance to make it clear to these friends in the rivers and lakes, in fact, I have nothing to do with the court." ”

"This..."Song Jiang said: "It can be, if you are in a hurry to clear up the relationship with the imperial court, will the imperial court attack you." ”

"That's better than guessing. Zhou Tong said: "And the rivers and lakes are more difficult to guard against than the imperial court, so although I don't go to stand on both sides, it is still necessary to draw a clear line, so as not to be clear when the time comes." ”

"That's right. Song Jiang said: "These things are difficult to explain clearly, and it is much better to explain them clearly on one side than to be uncomfortable on both sides." ”

Pang He said: "Master, I think this is okay, but if you have the support of Brother Song, you will get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"Oh!" Zhou Tong said, "He'er, why do you say that?"

Pang He said: "Brother Song, with the reputation of timely rain, has a lot of fame among officials and rivers and lakes, especially in the rivers and lakes, there are not many people who can be praised on both sides, so I think Brother Song came at the right time this time." ”

Zhou Tong nodded: "Well, you're right, why didn't I think of it, I don't know if this Song Jiang brother is willing to help with this?"

Seeing Zhou Dong's master and apprentice's perfect singing and harmony, Song Jiang's heart was a little cold, and he almost broke out in a cold sweat, he originally planned to set up these two masters and apprentices with great interest, but now he was stumped by them. Whether to agree or not to agree is a dilemma. Judging from the current situation, it is better to agree for the time being, and see what they need help with directly, before making a decision: "Of course I am willing, I don't know, what do you need my help with?"

Zhou Tong said: "I want to use your reputation to help me call on some people in the rivers and lakes, you also know that now I, invite some people, most of them are because of rumors, hesitation, if a few retreat, then the rest will be greatly affected." So I want to invite them through you, and I'll explain it clearly, so that some people don't want to come because of speculation. ”

A relatively simple request, it is really difficult to refuse, Song Jiang's heart began to mumble again, it seems that he can only agree: "This is easy to do, but whether it succeeds or not, I dare not pack the ticket." ”

"Of course!" Zhou Tong said: "If you can agree, I am already very happy, with your help, this matter will at least go much smoother." ”

"Yes!" Pang He said: "I thank Brother Song in advance here, I believe that with Brother Song's help, this matter will definitely succeed." ”

Song Jiang asked, "Then when are you going to tell your friends in the rivers and lakes?"

Zhou Tong asked rhetorically: "How many days does it take to contact friends in Suzhou City?"

Song Jiang thought about it for a while: "Give me three days!"

"Three days?" Zhou Tong said: "Then let's do it, I'll give you another day, four days, how about it?"

"Okay!" Song Jiang said, "Then four days!"

"Then there is Brother Lao Song!" Zhou Dong said.

Song Jiang said: "Where, where, it's too strange to say that you are tired." This is a matter within Song's responsibility, how can he be bothered. It is my Song Jiang's honor to be able to make a strong senior, senior, don't say that again. ”

Pang He said: "Brother Song, don't be so modest, we are very happy to know Brother Song." Brother Song invited me last time, so let's invite Brother Song for a while, first, so that I can get to know a friend like Brother Song, and second, thank Brother Song for helping. ”

Song Jiang said: "Brother Pang, you are too foreign, you call me Brother Song, this little favor, of course I am duty-bound." However, being able to drink with my seniors and Pang brothers is also a great blessing in life, and I Song Jiang will not miss it. ”

Pang He said happily: "Okay, I'll go and call someone to prepare, Brother Song will sit down and rest for a while, and I'll come in a while." ”

Song Jiang said: "Okay!"

Pang He asked the shopkeeper to prepare a big meal, then went back to the room and chatted with Song Jiang for a while, then went downstairs and began to drink wine and talk about some trivial matters. The noon time passed like this, Song Jiang was about to leave, Zhou Tong and Pang He both stayed, and then sent Song Jiang to the door, and then returned to the room to rest.

Because they drank some wine and said that the matter had been settled, Zhou Tong and Pang He rested peacefully throughout the afternoon, and in the evening, they ate casually, and the day passed like this. The lack of movement of Zhou Dong's master and apprentice made the investigators really a little bored and helpless, but there was no good way to do it, so they could only wait, waiting for any meaningful clues to appear.
