Chapter 544 Loyalty Song Jiang, humble Song Jiang, complicated Song Jiang
"I don't know, brother, but I risked my life to save you. The Huangnigang incident happened last time, and you have already revealed your name. Is there anyone named Fengtai among my group? He recruited some thieves and rushed to At this time, the news has been leaked! The Jeju Prefecture sent a He Jiu arrester and several people to arrest you and several others with the Jun's letter from the Taishi Prefecture and the local documents. Brother Ye Dao was the leader.
Fortunately, I bumped into me and came here on a flying horse to report to my brother. If I don't leave quickly, what else will I do? Jeju Prefecture and Yuncheng County officials sent people down overnight. They will be here in a blink of an eye. You can't delay. If there are any mistakes, like this No matter what! Don't blame me for not coming to save you."
Chao Gai looked at the young official in front of him in surprise, who was dark and short, but had eyes like red phoenixes, eyebrows like lying silkworms, and an appearance that could be said to be high-spirited and ambitious. He suddenly felt something in his heart. Feeling the warm current surging, it made him, the King of Pagodas, feel a lot.
Thank you for killing my brother! Although I had a deep relationship with him, it was because he was a member of the official family, so I had to hide the birth date from him. However, he knew that we were in trouble, but he still had to bear the blood The sea seems to have a connection, and he came to report to us. Just now, he only looked for me in this mountain, and almost killed the sentry's minions... It's really not a waste of time for me to get to know him. Brother, he is indeed the one who only needs to be rescued by Jianghu and Jianyu, Song Gongming of Shandong!
Chao Gai's eyes were already a little moist. He stretched out his hands and put them on Song Jiang's shoulders, saying with emotion: "My dear brother, teach me how to repay Chao Gai for such a great kindness!"
"Brother, don't say any more, just run away quickly! I'm afraid that the gentleman will be here soon, so I'll go back first." Song Jiang anxiously said to Chao Gai, but a strange feeling arose in his heart. Come.
Logically speaking, I shouldn't come, but what I know very well is that I, Song Jiang, must come.
A man who lives in a temple, eats in a temple, and becomes a marquis after death. A man's ambition and talents are rewarded in his life. However, although I am praised by heroes in the rivers and lakes, they call me Shandong Jijiyu, Xiaoyi Heisanlang, and the people under the rule of Yuncheng and even Jeju Prefecture respect me very much. For me...but how could I not know that in the officialdom, I am not even a small official as big as a sesame seed or a mung bean? Chance.
Although Song Jiang was proficient in swordsmanship and official duties, since he was a subordinate official from Yuncheng County, according to the official system of the Song Dynasty, he was familiar with local customs, local laws and regulations, etc. Therefore, people who were dispatched by official posts usually stayed in their hometowns. Assist Shangguan in handling local affairs.
Even though there is no explicit rule that subordinate officials cannot be promoted to officials, the lucky ones among them are very rare. Those people usually have to serve as officials in the local government for more than 20 to 30 years. Even those who have enough qualifications and are lucky enough to get through Because junior officials with high-ranking official status could not participate in the imperial examination (Zhao Guangyi, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty) believed that "the establishment of the imperial examination level is to wait for the flow of scholars. How can it be allowed to leave the official to steal the imperial title!", so he issued an edict: From now on Zhongshu , Privy Council, Xuanhui, Academy of Sciences, Jingbaisi, and officials in various states are not allowed to leave the office to apply for the election) So basically the few lucky subordinates can only be county captains, county chief registrars, and supervisors at most A sesame little official with an official rank of about eight ranks.
Song Jiang knew that although Shi Wenbin, the newly appointed magistrate of Yuncheng County, was a good official who was kind to his subordinates, local administrative chiefs like him at the county level would not be transferred or promoted in Yuncheng County when their terms expired. It took a lifetime, but Song Jiang was an official rather than an official after all, so he could only assist one county official after another. In fact, he was working in the government as a "commoner", receiving a meager salary, and had to do everything. Being constrained by officials and acting based on the boss's eyes...
In the world of martial arts, he was Song Gongming, who made heroes famous and admired, but in the officialdom, he was just a small official who had to work hard despite being bossed around by superior officials. Therefore, the feeling of gap in his heart became bigger and bigger.
Song Jiang also knew that if he continued to mix with the green people, he would probably cause disaster sooner or later. However, seeing Chao Gai committing a heinous crime and being arrested and brought to justice by officials, although Song Jiang should not have come, he still
I have to come.
Because although Song Jiang still doesn't want to rely on his reputation in the green forest and tarnish his innocent reputation, it's not just because of the deep loyalty between him and Chao Gai. Song Jiang is fully aware that once he cuts off the connection with the green forest
, gave up his status in the world, then he, a nobleman in the eyes of traffickers and lackeys, and a humble ant citizen in the eyes of powerful officials, could only end up mediocre as a petty official...
"Brother, take care. If you're in a hurry, go ahead." Song Jiang smiled bitterly, then hurriedly handed over to Chao Gai, and then rode his horse back to Yuncheng County via the path.
Just when Song Jiang got back on the saddle and was about to whip his horse with flying whip, Wu Yong, Liu Min, Gongsun Sheng and others also rushed to the foot of the ridge. Song Jiang saw them and was startled at first, but he was also surprised by the current situation.
It was not suitable to stay for a long time, so he hurriedly handed over to everyone and rushed towards Yuncheng County like flying.
Wu Yong glanced at Song Jiang's leaving figure with confusion, and then asked Chao Gai: "Chao Gai, that man just rushed into the mountain rashly, saying that he wanted to find your old friend for something important? Why did he go there in such a hurry?
Now, who is he?"
Chao Gai sighed with emotion: "Brothers, you don't know that if my father-in-law, Ming and Xiandi, hadn't come here, he would have died so close! The man sent by the Jeju government to arrest He Observation found out that we were hiding here, so he went there too.
The Yuncheng County police officer came to arrest us overnight. Fortunately, my dear brother Gongming, who works as a bailiff in the Yuncheng County Yamen, took advantage of the county government to dispatch personnel and came to inform us first. Otherwise, we would not have taken any precautions.
, I’m just afraid that I’ll be hunted down by the gangsters!”
Wu Yong's expression changed and he said: "The one we call Gongming, could it be the one in Yuncheng County who calls Baoyi Songjiang? I have heard the name of Song Yasi for a long time, but I have never met him because of my shallow fate. Although I live close by, it is rare to have a chance to meet him."
When we met, it turned out that we had received great favor from him!"
Chao Gai sighed and said: "My dear brother Gong Ming and I have a close friendship, and we have become a sworn brother. This life is really worth it..."
Liu Min next to him also had a thought after hearing this. He secretly said: That person is Shi Yu Song Jiang? Unexpectedly, as a member of the official family, he was willing to risk the danger of secretly communicating with the bandits to report the news to Chao Gai.
.....It seems that getting to know Song Jiang through Chao Gai will be of great use in the future.
Liu Min was thinking in his heart, and did not forget to slander Xiao Tang. He sneered: "They are all the same in the public servants. Although Song Yasi is just a small official in the county government, he is far inferior to Xiao Tang."
That guy had a high position, but he was so loyal! Xiao Tang was praised as a knight by heroes in the world in vain. Back then, he persecuted fellow Lu Lin. Now, the minions under that guy are willing to work for him and use government officials to harm King Chao Tianwang.
!Both are people called Hu Baoyi. Compared with Song Gongming and Xiao Tang, their personalities are completely different!"
The Xiao Jiaji wanted to escort the birthday escort, but we wanted to rob the birthday escort. Now that the incident has been exposed, how could their group not report to the officials to arrest us? I just don’t know where Brother Bai Sheng is being held now, and what?
How to rescue...
After Chao Gai thought about it in his mind, he said to Wu Yong, Liu Min and others: "It is not advisable to delay, for delay will be critical! According to what brother Wu Yong just said, Liangshanbo is also near Dongxi Village, and now the village is prosperous.
The officers and soldiers who were hunting the robbers did not dare to look at him. Since the officers and soldiers were chasing him closely, we could go and join the gang... But I also heard that Wang Lun, the scholar in white who occupied Liangshan, was narrow-minded.
It’s not safe, I’m afraid they won’t take us in.”
Wu Yong's lips moved slightly, but he hesitated to speak. He secretly said: Now it is difficult to advance or retreat. If we are taught to rob the birthday card, some of which are gold and silver, and give some to Wang Lun, it will be like buying the thief.
The method of buying an official position may not be able to deceive him into accepting us, and then delay the pursuit of his Liangshanbo... But I heard that Wang Lun was a despicable man, jealous of talents and talents, and he did not care about the morality of the world, nor was he willing to accept a hero in distress. It is impossible to say
Only...
Just as Wu Yong was thinking about good strategies, Liu Min suddenly smiled coldly and said to Chao Gai: "King Chao Tian, it is precisely because Wang Lun's fellow is so narrow-minded and uneasy that we can seize that mountain stronghold! Back then,
Brother Fengtai and I and a few others were forced to go to Fangshan Village in Fangzhou for revenge because Xiao Tang came to take revenge. The leader of Fangshan Village at that time, Liao Li, was just like Wang Lun, a man who was jealous of talents but ineffective.
The young man was also determined not to take us in. But later he taught me to wait for the fire to merge with the young man and occupy the Fangzhou Fang Village.
Since Wang Lun is intolerant, he must have no capable people to help him! At such a critical time, I advised the King of Heaven to ask the Fengtai brothers to recruit some helpers. It was just to increase the momentum and annex the Liangshan Po Dazhai. Then
If Wang Lun is willing to take it in, I'll pay it back, but if he doesn't..."
At this point, Liu Min's face showed a ferocious expression. He turned his palm into a knife and slashed downward with force.
"Kill the leader of his stronghold, and then seize his stronghold?" After hearing this, Chao Gai frowned, with a slightly hesitant look on his face.
Seeing this, Liu Min hurriedly took two steps forward and advised in a deep voice: "King Chao Tian, please obey the authority in urgent matters. Since Wang Lun is a narrow-minded man and has no regard for the loyalty of the world, he is worthy of being the leader of Liangshan Bo village.
Position? If Wang Lun doesn't understand that we are in danger, why should King Chao feel compassion for him? I also know that I care about the morality of the world, but I don't want to occupy the nest and seize the inheritance. But the King of Heaven has to do it anyway.
I’m thinking of the brothers who are gathered together! What’s more, after I settle down in Liangshan Dazhai, what will Wang Lun do with him? Aren’t we going to have to wait for the King of Heaven to do whatever he wants?”
Although Chao Gai attaches great importance to the loyalty of the Jianghu and the morality of the green forest, he is not a stubborn person who does not know how to adapt. He secretly said: Now our brothers have no choice but to join the Dazhai in Liangshan, and Wang Lun really refuses to take him in.
, completely disregarding that when the lives of several of my brothers and others were in danger, I, Chao Gai, could really bear this arrogance and leave just like that? But if we really have to seize the Wang Lun inheritance, I am afraid that we will be ridiculed by the heroes in the world.
...I don't have much to worry about at the moment, I can only take it one step at a time, go to Liangshanbo first, and see you later.
Chao Gai made up his mind and immediately ordered several brothers to prepare their horses immediately and prepare to throw them directly to Liangshanbo. However, when Chao Gai and others were about to set off from the mountains, a county captain sent by the Yuncheng County Government and two
Ge Dutou led more than 100 horse-mounted archers and native soldiers. He had been ordered to rush to the mountain not far away, preparing to intercept and capture Chao Gai and his party.
Among all the gentlemen, Zhu Tong, a handsome man with a handsome face and a thick long beard, who had a face like a jujube and a bright star, thought for a moment and said: "The one in front of me reported that Chao Gai's
Chao Gai was lucky enough to hide in the place, but the few remaining people were probably all fierce and desperate people. Those guys were all desperate. If they were to be killed together, they might not be able to resist the enemy. According to my opinion, in the end,
It would be better to attack in the east and attack in the west, and wait until the guys are out of the mountains and are unprepared, then we can make a good move. If Lei Dutou and I split up into two groups, ambush each, wait for the whistle to sound, and just go to get the people, we will be able to see them then.
One catches one, and two catches a pair."
As Zhu Tong was speaking, the county lieutenant and the infantrymen looked to the side with thunderous shocks. However, what Zhu Tong didn't know was that in fact, the plan in the heart of the winged tiger Lei Heng was exactly the same.
