East and West Road, Beijing, Yuncheng County, Yunzhou.
A long street runs from east to west. There are shops and stalls on both sides of the street, and there are also many people from the county. It looks very lively.
A middle-aged man walked out of his restaurant with a sad look on his face. An acquaintance saw him and asked, "Shopkeeper Wang, why are you looking so sad?"
"Bah!" Shopkeeper Wang spat and cursed: "Isn't that the winged tiger unlucky? That fellow Lei Heng came to my gambling house and said that according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, all gambling is strictly prohibited. If not, I cruelly gave him a pen of silver, and there was no doubt that he would be imprisoned! But that guy just opened a dormitory privately because he was the head of the county's infantry army, but he killed cattle and gambled! What's the point of this? "
The man listened to the advice and said: "You don't know that Lei Heng is a tyrannical master? You also make bets and he also makes bets. The two families are enemies. If he doesn't seek your bad luck, who will he seek?"
Shopkeeper Wang cursed again: "I think the county magistrate of our county at that time could be said to be an upright official and honest in his work. But the petty officials and officials under him were so arrogant. The king of hell is really easy to see, but the devil is difficult to deal with!"
The man was still waiting to speak when he suddenly saw a man dressed as an escort walking out of the teahouse behind Shopkeeper Wang. He immediately winked and told Shopkeeper Wang to stop talking.
Shopkeeper Wang turned around and saw the officer. He had eyes like red phoenixes and eyebrows like silkworms. He had square lips, a straight mouth, a light mustache, a broad forehead and a flat forehead, and plump skin and flesh. Although he was born dark and short, These can be said to be dignified in appearance.
"Song Yasi..." Shopkeeper Wang and his acquaintance hurriedly bowed to each other. This Song Yasi had a close friendship with Lei Heng, and he was also one of the Yasi under Wen Bin, the magistrate of Yuncheng County. Moreover, shopkeeper Wang was so angry that he cursed Song Yasi in a fit of anger. If he heard this, wouldn't it mean that disaster comes from his mouth?
The Song Yasi laughed, patted Shopkeeper Wang on the shoulder and said: "The imperial court does have laws to punish people who gamble on property and punish them with a rod, and for serious cases, they will be punished with theft. Even if Lei Du doesn't come to look for you, he will not be able to find you in the future. It is inevitable that disaster will fall from the sky. Shopkeeper Wang is a smart man. How can he make a living in a wine shop, a silver shop, a teahouse and a cloth shop? If you are a fellow villager in your hometown, if you are in trouble, just come to Song. If Song can help, he will never do it. decline."
Although Song Yasi didn't mention Lei Heng's gambling, he didn't hear the angry words of shopkeeper Wang just now. Shopkeeper Wang and his acquaintance hurriedly thanked him, and when Song Yasi left, shopkeeper Wang Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, Song Yasi is an open-minded man, and he really deserves his reputation as a timely rain in Shandong..."
Who else could this Song Yasi be if he weren't Song Jiang? In the past few years, he has spent money like water, saving people in urgent need, and helping people in need. In the north of Hebei Province, the names of Jingdong Road are becoming more and more famous, whether it is a hero or a hero in the world. Everyone in the market praised him for his timely rain, Xiaoyi Heisaburo, Shandong Hubaoyi...
Mentioning the name Hu Baoyi, Song Jiang couldn't help but think of another Hu Baoyi from Hebei in Daming Mansion. That person was also famous far and wide. It was Xiao Tang who was praised as Nian Langjun and Ren Xia in the world. .
More than two years ago, Xiao Tang sacrificed his life to protect the Su family's surviving daughter Zhou Quan. He was quite as heroic as Emperor Taizu's fragrant boy Zhao Kuangyin who sent his wife to the capital for a thousand miles; killing nine-headed insects in a rage on the street was even better than Zhou Taizu's Guo Que'er and Guo Wei's righteous deed of killing bullies in the downtown area. .Since then, Song Jiang has firmly remembered this name.
What's more, in the past few years, Ren Xia Xiao Tang has recruited many talented people into his hands. He has opened darts and walked in the market, opened the Jinfeng Yulu Tower, and made countless popular songs and music. As early as in the Goulanwashe Zhongguang in Yuncheng City,
To spread praise.
What's more, Xiao Tang not only controlled various businesses and made a lot of money. Song Jiang heard that he defeated Gaizhou's iron dragonfly Niu Wenzhong and his gang, and heard that Kong Ming and Kong Liang, two disciples of Kongjiazhuang in Qingzhou, mentioned the above in their letters.
In time, the thieves from Baihu Mountain were eliminated again...
Regardless of whether he is a white or underworld figure, Xiao Tang is a very popular figure. It is a pity that there is no chance. Otherwise, I, Song Jiang, would have paid a visit to such a figure.
"Brother Song Jiang!"
Song Jiang suddenly heard someone calling him, he stopped and turned around to look, and saw Hua Rong running towards him with a face full of joy.
"It turns out it's my brother Hua Rong!" Song Jiang just said happily. At this moment, he suddenly found that Hua Rong was not only surrounded by little sister Hua, but also a group of people in well-dressed clothes.
His body exudes a masculine aura.
"Brother Song Jiang, this is Brother Xiao Tang of Daming Mansion. I'm passing through here and come to visit you!" Hua Rong happily introduced to Song Jiang.
"So it's him!" Xiao Tang and Song Jiang had the same thought in their minds.
"I have heard for a long time that the name of Song Yasi in Hubaoyi, Shandong, is in the famous mansion of Xiaotang. Today I can see the timely rain, which is a comfort to my life."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. A famous person in a famous palace is like a thunder. Today we have the chance to meet. It turns out that being famous is not as good as meeting, and meeting is worse than being famous."
Song Jiang was chatting politely with Xiao Tang, but he thought in his heart: I am just a clerk under Wen Bin, the magistrate of Yuncheng County, and Xiao Tang is the commander of the Sima army left behind in Daming Prefecture. I am not as good as him in this regard;
Although I love to practice guns and sticks, and have learned many martial arts skills, I can't compare with the extravagant heroes. I heard that this Xiaotang was taught by a strange person, and he was skilled in bows and horses, so he was good at spears, and his double-sword, fist and kick skills were even more impressive. On this point, I also
inferior to him;
Although I have a farmhouse in my name, I have never been short of money, but Xiaotang is in Daming Prefecture, Zongcheng County, there are countless shops and thousands of hectares of land. I heard that he recently ran the Mu Ma Supervision Department and purchased Makita to expand his business.
When he got big, he went to Michigan Shipping Company. I was not as good as him in this regard...
When Hua Rong introduced Xiao Yi, the green falcon, Xue Yong, the sick man, and Zheng Tianshou, the white-faced man, to Song Jiang, Song Jiang sighed in his heart, although the heroes in the world would give me Song Jiang some thin noodles, but Xiao Tang's subordinates can
There are countless people, and there are brothers who support and support me in all kinds of activities. This is not something I, Song Jiang, can do.
But Song Jiang did not feel resentful in his heart, but secretly made up his mind: This Xiao Tang must have a good relationship with him and become a close friend!
Song Jiang was thinking about Xiao Tang in his heart, so Xiao Tang was not looking at Song Jiang? In Yishui County, he only cured Li Kui's mother's eye disease, and did not have time to visit the two future heroes of Liangshan, Li Yun, the blue-eyed tiger, and Zhu Fu, the smiling tiger.
Then he passed through Yanzhou and entered Yunzhou, arriving at Yuncheng County where Songjiang is located.
This Song Jiang is right when it comes to sparing money and being righteous, helping the weak and helping the poor, and being filial and respectful to his relatives and friends. At present, Song Jiang has not only never done the evil deeds of bullying the good and weak, but whether he is a hero or a common man, ask Song Jiang for money.
He does not evade things, is easy to make, solves problems and protects people's lives, and often spreads coffin medicine and bait to help poor people.
If he said that all his good deeds were for the sake of charity, and that he had already planned to bribe heroes from all over the world to gather in rebellion so as to facilitate his recruitment and become an official, Xiao Tang would not believe it. After all, he fled to Qingzhou and was sentenced to beheading in Jiangzhou.
These were all emergencies that Song Jiang had not expected. Otherwise, he would not only be a very powerful figure in the city, but also a monster who had no idea what to do next.
However, thinking of Song Jiang's thick kung fu and all-out methods to recruit talents... Xiao Tang couldn't help but be wary of him. It was not the government that forced Lu Junyi, Qin Ming, Zhu Tong, Li Ying and other heroes to Liangshan.
And it is Song Jiang. Although Xiao Tang will not evaluate Song Jiang in pure terms of good and bad, but if Song Jiang goes up to Liangshan to plot against me, don't think that I, Xiao Tang, will be submissive to you!
Hua Rong didn't know what Xiao Tang and Song Jiang were thinking at this time. He hurriedly said to Song Jiang: "Brother Song Jiang and my younger brother were promoted by brother Xiao Tang to the Remaining Department of Daming Prefecture. They can make a name for themselves with their skills.
Shine on the lintel of my Hua family."
"Oh?" Song Jiang's expression changed. When he first met Hua Rong, a young hero with superb archery skills, he knew that he would do something great in the future, but he never thought that Hua Rong would also join Xiao Tang.
Although he felt sad for a while, Song Jiang still said happily: "Brother Hua Xian is dedicated to serving the country. Isn't it a great thing that he can finally get what he wants? Today I am lucky enough to get acquainted with Xiao Renxia and other heroes, so I will let Xiao Ke do it."
East, let’s find a restaurant to have a drink with you all.”
"Brother is invited, of course I will go." Hua Rong said, "It's just that my sister is very tired after working hard all the way. She needs to find an inn to rest and recuperate first."
Song Jiang looked at Hua Xiaomei and saw that her face was languid and her complexion was very poor. He asked, "Xianmei is afraid that she is ill. Why don't you find a doctor?"
Hua Xiaomei hurriedly cheered up and said: "Brother Song Jiang, please don't worry about your little sister. She is fine and has already seen the doctor. She is just a little uncomfortable now and will be fine after one night."
After arriving in Yanzhou, Hua Xiaomei had lost her appetite and looked a little haggard. When Xiao Tang and Hua Rong met in Gong County, Yanzhou, they hurriedly took Hua Xiaomei to the doctor, saying that she had contracted the cold and grabbed some medicine.
After taking it all the way, Xiao Tang and Hua Rong felt relieved when they saw that little sister Hua looked better these days.
Song Jiang then took Xiao Tang and others to an inn, settled the carriage and horses, and gave Hua Xiaomei a room. Song Jiang also told the waiter that Hua Xiaomei was sick and should take more rest.
He took more care of her, but the waiter didn't agree to it.
Then Song Jiang invited Xiao Tang and others to a restaurant not far around the corner. Xiao Tang, Song Jiang, Hua Rong, Xiao Yi, Xue Yong, and Zheng Tianshou sat down and asked the bartender to lay down the dried meat.
Grilled chicken and fried fish, and ordered several jars of Yunzhou's famous wine.
Before serving the food, Song Jiang ordered the bartender to go to the county government office and summon two of his close friends, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng.
He is dignified and well-behaved; Lei Heng has a purple-colored complexion, a fan-ring beard, and even a mighty and fierce appearance.
Before Song Jiang could introduce him, Lei Heng had already taken a step forward, clasped his fist towards Xiao Tang and said, "It turns out that Xiao Renxia, the Nirvana Prince of Daming Palace, came to my Yuncheng County. He has been famous for a long time, but he has no chance to meet him! My surname is Lei.
He is so famous that he is known as the winged tiger in the world!"
Xiao Tang stood up and returned the salute to Lei Heng. He then looked at Zhu Tong behind Lei Heng who looked exactly like Wu Sheng Guan Yunchang. He thought that there were two officials in the Yuncheng County Yamen. Songjiang City Mansion was very scheming. This Lei Heng
He is also a narrow-minded and arrogant person with many flaws in his character. If there is anyone who can truly confide in him and have a close friendship with him, I am afraid that the only one with the beautiful beard is Zhu Tong.
