Chapter 822: Song Jiangs good people and heroes gather together
"Not only is the Xunyang River in chaos, all the heroes in Jiangxi have no place to stand!"
Mu Hong and Mu Chun spoke with a Jiangxi accent and complained deeply.
In the original work, there were three hegemons in Jieyang, Jiangzhou. They were headed by Li Jun and Li Li on the Jieyang Mountains, Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun were headed by Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun on the Xunyang River, and the territory of Jieyang town was occupied by Mu Hong and Mu Chun.
The two brothers ran rampant in the town, and were even more arrogant than the government. Even the head of the yamen was under their control. They also directly stipulated that if outsiders wanted to make a living in the town, they must first visit Mujiazhuang.
, with the permission of the two brothers, he is a standard rich bully.
There are no such good things now, because after Zhao Ji moved the capital to Jinling and Gao Qiu pardoned and resigned, he also knew that the people of the Central Plains had lost all their hearts and gave up the plan of returning to Bianliang. Naturally, he had to work hard to manage the south.
"In the land of Xiangyang, there was a rebel army led by the heroic hero Guo Kang. They killed landlords and bureaucrats, and quickly became powerful. Now they have 100,000 people under their command. They even trained naval forces, which shocked the court!"
"In order to curry favor with the foolish emperor, that dog-eat officer in He Zhizhong ordered a strict investigation of all roads in the south. Officials from all over the country took the opportunity to make a fortune. My brothers and I were good citizens, but we were forced into desperation by the officers and soldiers, and even our property was confiscated!"
After hearing the tragic experience of Mu Hong and Mu Chun, Wang Ying, the most stable person, slapped the table: "This is unreasonable. I didn't expect the south to be in such chaos. I'll tell you two brothers, if it weren't for the government's persecution, I would be a good citizen too!"
Sitting next to Wang Ying, a man with a sinister face and a fierce voice said in a loud voice: "I think the Zhao and Song Dynasties are going to be subjugated!"
This man's name was Bao Xu, and he had no choice but to kill people in his life. It was Wang Ying who brought him here not long ago. Wang Ying greatly agreed with these words, but Song Jiang, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly changed his expression and said sternly: "Brother Bao Xu, be careful what you say!
"
Bao Xu wanted to say something else, but Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang looked at him coldly. Thinking of the couple's business, he immediately closed his mouth in fear.
Song Jiang sighed and softened his voice: "The world is in chaos now. It is true that the court is unclear and the treacherous ministers are blocked. But what about the destruction of the country?"
"The Liao people have retreated, and the Western thieves are no longer able to succeed. When the Western army, which is capable of conquering and fighting, returns, it will surely sweep the holes and calm down the wars in various places. By then, the country of the Song Dynasty will still be stable!"
"You are all upright good men, and good ladies who are not inferior to men. Since you respect me as brother, you should listen to Brother Yu's words and contribute to the country to have a future. There are some angry words that you should never say!"
These words were said in a sincere tone and full of emotion, and everyone was moved and a little affected by them.
What Song Jiang said is not unreasonable. Although the prestige of Zhao and Song's rule for more than a hundred years has fallen to the bottom, although all the imperial troops in the Beijing camp have been destroyed, the northern army has been destroyed, and the Xiang armies in various places in the south of the Yangtze River are even more vulnerable, as long as the regular
The elite Western Army exists, but the rebels who are now rising are still a rabble, and it is difficult to accomplish anything big...
Thinking of this, Mu Hong and Mu Chun became a little angry. They were originally high in the sky and the emperor was far away, but now they couldn't survive in their hometown. They wished that the imperial court would collapse and the world would be in chaos.
Zhang Qing, Sun Erniang and Wang Ying looked at each other with complicated expressions. Sun Yuan who brought them to Shandong was behind Zhang Xian, one of the current rebels, in order to gain land in Shandong, but after this period of time,
They got along with each other, but they were impressed by Song Jiang's charm. They were caught on both sides for a while, and they were in a dilemma.
Bao Xu is the most direct, he enjoys the feeling of controlling other people's life and death, and his own martial arts skills are not to the point of being unscrupulous, so he still has to follow a famous hero to have the opportunity to kill people openly.
Song Jiang took in all this, picked up the teacup, and tasted it leisurely.
Times make heroes. The more chaotic the world is now, the more valuable it is to be loyal to one's duties and serve the country with all one's strength. Although his own martial arts ability is mediocre, as long as he can lead the heroes who are greedy for money, love to kill, and do unkind things to the right path, it is also
With immeasurable merit and virtue, you will surely have a bright future and bring glory to your ancestors.
"Emperor Tian can show his intentions, my opportunity has come!"
Seeing more and more talented people around him, Song Jiang's fighting spirit became more and more high. After appeasing everyone again, he came to the main hall, paid a visit to his father, and said casually: "My son wants to entertain friends, and he still needs his father's support in terms of money...
…”
Father Song looked at his son and hesitated to speak.
Three generations of the Song family worked as servants. After accumulating wealth, they acquired land and participated in business. Now that they have such a large manor, they naturally have considerable wealth. Song Jiang's expenses during this period are nothing.
What really worried Father Song was his son's attitude.
From rejection to shame, from shame to numbness, and finally to today's calm request for money.
Those street idlers and prodigal libertines often look like this, and the people Song Jiang has made friends with now really don't look like good friends...
"Sanlang, come here, my father has something to say to you!"
Song's father felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he put on a serious and sincere attitude.
Song Jiang was extremely filial and immediately put aside the important matters in his mind and stepped forward respectfully: "My child, listen to your father's teachings!"
Song's father was about to analyze the power, when suddenly there were rapid footsteps outside, and then Song Qing's shout: "Father!! Brother!!"
Song Jiang's face changed slightly, and he had a bad premonition. Song's father also looked serious: "Qing'er came in, what happened?"
Song Qing walked in and said anxiously: "The county government sent someone to send an urgent report that Han Zhixian was killed. The chief secretary asked my brother to go there!"
When Song's father heard the first half of the sentence, he wanted Song Jiang not to rush forward, but as soon as the second half of the sentence came out, he had no choice but to say: "Sanlang, go quickly, be careful!"
Song Jiang saluted and said, "Wait until your son comes back and then listen to your father's teachings!"
He quickly walked out of the house. The servant had already brought the fast horse, and Song Qing followed behind. Song Jiang frowned: "Why are you following?"
Song Qingdao: "The murder of the county magistrate is a big deal. If the thieves are cruel, I am also proficient in sticks and can help my brother!"
Song Jiang naturally knew how good his brother's stick was, so he immediately shook his head and said: "Don't mess around. Not to mention that you are still young and not as strong as me. Even at home, we need sons and daughters to support our father. You stay here and don't move around."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Song Qingyang stayed behind, and Song Jiang wanted to go to another courtyard and bring the heroes with him, but the appearance and temperament of those six people might make the officers and soldiers itchy and hesitant.
After a while, he went on the road alone.
"Why don't I bring out any heroes around me who can make people not misunderstand me?"
With a bit of a sigh, Song Jiang rushed to the Yamen and found that it was a mess inside.
The murder of a county magistrate in one place was really a sensational thing in peaceful times. Even in this period, it makes people panic.
As soon as the county magistrate died, Shi Wenbin, who was already very prestigious in the yamen, immediately took over the power. At this time, he was surrounded by a group of officials giving orders.
Seeing Song Jiang walking over, he shouted coldly from afar: "Song Yasi, why are you so lazy? Get the criminal documents quickly, I want to check!"
Song Jiang had a dangerous secret, so he raised his hands and said: "Please wait a moment, Chief Secretary, I will go get it immediately!"
When he quickly handed over the compiled documents, Shi Wenbin saw a bit of disappointment in his eyebrows, and his heart suddenly became stunned: "This person hates me because of the Juyi Order..."
Shi Wenbin was really angry. He originally admired this young man, so he lent the precious Juyi Order and told him to return it immediately after using it. Unexpectedly, the other party lost it immediately. At this time, he failed to grasp the handle and hurriedly
After flipping through the pages, he snorted coldly and said: "Song Yasi always works hard without complaining, and does not divide his work between internal and external duties. In this case... Let's catch the murderer together with Deng Dutou!"
Song Jiang was a police officer who had only been on duty for a short time. It was not his turn to track down the murderer. However, he was ordered to do so, so he had no choice but to obey: "Yes!"
When Shi Wenbin left, who was deliberately making things difficult, Deng Dutou did not make things difficult for Song Jiang and went to investigate the case with a bitter look on his face.
Behind him, there was a young man with slightly red eyes, smiling towards Song Jiang.
Who is Song Jiang? Even if he is a stranger on the street, he will go over and chat with anyone he likes. Seeing that the other person is a burly and strong man, his heart suddenly becomes happy. He steps forward generously and says: "Song Jiang, I'm here.
Gongming, I am appointed to the post of Supervisor, I wonder who your brother is?"
The red-eyed man clasped his fists and said, "I am Deng Fei. I am originally from Xiangyang. I avoided trouble and took refuge with my clan brother. I just saw that I am neither arrogant nor humble, but I admire him from the bottom of my heart!"
Song Jiang led Deng Fei to sit aside, served him the wine he had specially collected in the Yamen, and said with an expression on his face: "It turns out he is Deng Dutou's brother. He is really a talented person. With Brother Deng's help, the murderer will definitely not be able to escape..."
"
Deng Fei drank the wine, showed a happy face, and started chatting: "Song Yasi is too complimentary, but I have a clue about the thief who killed the county magistrate, and it was Liang Shanbo who did it!"
Song Jiang's expression suddenly changed: "This statement is true, what evidence is there?"
Deng Fei shook his head: "There is no evidence, but recently the officials who were killed in various states and counties in Shandong were not the only one in Hanzhi County, but none of them were found. Even corrupt officials were killed in Yingtian Mansion, which attracted people's applause. The Yamen still
Let it go! Apart from Liang Shanbo, who has the ability and who would do this?"
"They did this because they wanted to..."
Song Jiang thought that the magistrate of Yuncheng County was indeed a notorious corrupt man. He was the most harsh on the people in the county. Officials at all levels must obediently offer bribes, otherwise they would be targeted.
It is not a pity for such a person to die, but if Liangshan eliminates such corrupt officials one after another and attracts the people's support, what will happen next will be quite terrifying...
Deng Fei expressed his worries: "Liang Shanbo is domineering and has many rules that are stricter than those of the imperial court. Now he is directly killing officials. I am afraid that he is not far away from raising the flag to rebel!"
Song Jiang's face suddenly turned ugly.
As he has seen and heard, Liang Shanbo's power in Shandong really responds to the call of a hundred people. Officials regard the orders for gatherings as treasures. This is no longer a collusion between officials and gangsters, but a situation where local yamen have to rely on them to survive. If the other party
If you really rebel, the current crisis situation of the imperial court will definitely become worse!
However, Song Jiang did not waver and said firmly: "Brother Deng, don't worry. Just like Gao Qingtian was wronged by a traitor, he was able to avenge his injustice in the end and tell the world. The ones who will be remembered in history must be our loyal and good people, and those who
Rebellious ministers and traitors will be in disgrace for thousands of years!"
Deng Fei chuckled and said: "I am from Guan Pu. I don't have Song Yasi's views, and I don't care about my reputation after death. But now that this murder happened in the Yamen, how should I solve it?"
Song Jiang was silent again.
He had no confidence in facing Liangshan head-on, and he did not dare to ask the government for help.
Because he very much doubted that if he dared to make things clear, the government would not do anything to Liangshan. Instead, they would take down this little custodian who was talking nonsense and causing problems.
Deng Fei was obviously very dissatisfied with Liangshan, but he also had similar concerns. When he saw Song Jiang walking like a wolf and sitting still like a tiger, he somehow believed that he could stand up for other heroes: "If Si Si really has that courage,
, I can recommend someone to help us plan for great things!"
If it were anyone else, they would have to be cautious in their words and deeds even if they meet by chance, but Song Jiang has always been trustworthy in employing people: "To be honest with brother Deng, I do have the ability to bring order out of chaos. If there are heroes, they must be recommended to me!"
Deng Fei reminded: "This person is a little different from ordinary people, Song Yasi should think carefully about it!"
Song Jiang gave a determined look: "You don't have to worry too much about serving the country!"
Deng Fei nodded: "Okay! Please Song Yasi come with me!"
The two of them walked in tandem towards the prison. Song Jiang did not ask any questions, but Deng Fei had a good relationship with everyone and had a smooth journey.
As soon as he entered the prison, he heard a loud snoring sound, like thunder.
Song Jiang perked up and stepped forward quickly. He saw a black thing lying on the head of the cell. When he took a closer look, he saw that he was a naked big man. He was as thick as a black bear and as thick as an iron bull.
He has a naughty body, and if it weren't for the fact that he was snoring like thunder at this time, his skin color, like Song Jiang's face, would be a perfect cover at night.
Deng Fei introduced: "This man's name is Li Kui. He is from Yizhou. He was going to be sent to Jiangzhou because he killed a neighbor. However, the officers and soldiers were robbed by bandits on the way. He was brave and came forward to kill the thieves until they fled in all directions."
, he was pardoned by the county, promoted to cell leader, and entered this prison..."
Song Jiang looked at Li Kui carefully and couldn't help but rejoiced: "What a strong man! What a strong man! We are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away, but we have no chance to meet each other. I can see two good men in a row today. Could it be that I, Song Jiang, am blessed by God?"
Deng Fei smiled and said: "This is a compliment. It's because we know Song Yasi that we have the same spirit. I'll wake up this black guy!"
Song Jiang hurriedly stopped him: "Don't be alarmed, I'll be here waiting for the strong man to wake up!"
…
Song's father, who had been worried all night, had just slept for an hour when he learned that his son had returned and happily welcomed him out.
However, when they arrived at the gate, they saw two majestic and ferocious men standing on either side of Song Jiang from a distance. Then they saw the six people living in the villa and greeted them happily.
A total of eight "heroes" gathered: Zhang Qing, Sun Erniang, Wang Ying, Bao Xu, Mu Hong, Mu Chun, Deng Fei, and Li Kui.
Looking at Sanlang who was surrounded by this group of people in the center, Song's father was silent for a long time and turned back to the house with deep worry.
