When Song Jiang heard this, he became even more anxious.
He was someone who didn't want to fall into the trap.
However, after experiencing many events, I had to take this road.
And that recruitment is the only way for Song Jiang to regain his innocence in the future.
How could he give up so easily?
As for the Tong Guan in front of him, it was his most important bargaining chip to show his goodwill to the court.
So today, he must protect this child's body.
But in desperation, he thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't find an explanation that could convince Chao Gai.
So, he moved his eyes to Zhi Duoxing Wu Yong as if asking for help.
I hope that Xuexue Wu can come forward and say something for him.
Although Wu Yong, in the fierce and aggressive Qingfeng Village, was definitely one of the last in terms of force value.
But he has a quality that no other hero has.
That is, he has an extremely smart brain.
Whenever something difficult to decide arises in the village, he can solve the problem for everyone in the village in an extremely clever way.
Therefore, when he spoke in Qingfeng Village, his words had an extraordinary weight.
At this time, when Wu Yong noticed the look of help from Song Jiang, he hesitated for a moment.
Then, he hurriedly came to Chao Gai and persuaded him in an extremely solemn tone:
"I believe that Brother Song Jiang also feels bad about what happened to the brothers in the village."
"But now that the matter has come to this, if we kill the dog official in front of us, the thousands of brothers in the village will definitely not be able to survive."
"Why not, just take advantage of this opportunity.
I am using this child's body as a pledge to ask for some compensation from the Song Dynasty court."
"After all, we are a cottage, and we don't have much gold and silver right now."
"It would be extremely difficult to provide a lot of property at once to compensate the families of those fallen soldiers."
"So in my opinion, it is more cost-effective to keep that dog officer than to kill him immediately to vent his anger."
"Brother Chao Gai, what do you think?"
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Li, Guang Huarong, Pilihuo Qinming, Zhensanshan Huangxin, etc., as well as the leaders who were familiar with Song Jiang and Wu Yong, began to persuade Chao Gai not to act out of emotion.
Using that Tongguan to obtain more benefits for their Qingfeng Village is the most important thing to do at the moment.
Although Chao Gai holds the top position in Qingfeng Village, he cannot categorically ignore the requests of his brothers.
So, after much consideration, he reluctantly agreed to let Tong Guan go.
However, Tong Guan was offered a sky-high compensation of one hundred thousand taels of gold and one hundred thousand taels of silver.
If he can't get it out, then his life will still have to stay in Qingfeng Village.
How has the pampered Tong Guan ever seen such a scene?
At this time, if an answer dissatisfies the leaders of these grassroots bandits in front of them, then his head will not be saved.
So, how could Tong Guan, who was scared to death, dare to say no?
He quickly used an extremely frightened voice to give assurances to the fierce leaders standing in front of him.
I will definitely try my best to collect those one hundred thousand taels of gold and one hundred thousand taels of platinum.
Then he was sent to Qingfeng Village respectfully.
After listening to Tong Guan's reply, the leaders' resentment towards him subsided slightly.
Song Jiang also keenly seized this opportunity and took Tong Guan into custody.
Early the next morning.
Inside a simple wooden house.
Tong Guan was tossing and turning on the bed as if he had lice on his body, unable to settle down for a moment.
He didn't dare to close his eyes the whole night, because as soon as he closed his eyes, Chao Gai's extremely ferocious face would appear in his sight.
He picked up a bright plain knife and slashed it towards his head.
Tong Guan stayed in this small wooden house for as long as he could.
They were afraid that the leaders in Qingfeng Village would regret it, pull him out, and cut him into pieces.
Just when Tong Guan was in a state of confusion, the door of the wooden house was suddenly pushed open.
Tong Guan's heart tightened, and then he jumped out of bed.
When he slowly turned his head and saw that the person who came was actually the black-faced man who kept pleading for him last night, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Because he also knew that since this black-faced man wanted to protect him, he would not take the initiative to harm him today.
And judging from the expression on his face, he was still smiling. I guess it was probably because he had something to talk about.
Since Tong Guan was currently in the enemy camp, he did not dare to put on any official airs.
Before the dark-faced man could reach the bedside, he rushed over to greet him.
His face was filled with endless gratitude.
"Thank you so much for this good man. I'm very grateful for your help last night."
"If you don't mind being a good man, please accept my three bows."
As Tong Guan spoke, he bowed down to the black-faced man in a decent manner.
The dark-faced man quickly stepped forward and supported Tong Guan, who was about to bow down.
"Master Tong, you don't have to be like this, you don't have to be like this."
Tong Guan smiled awkwardly.
Then, he glanced at the black-faced man first, and then looked at the man next to him who was holding a goose-feather Yin-Yang fan and dressed as a scribe, and asked with great respect:
"Tong Guan has received great kindness from you two, but I still don't know their surnames."
"I don't know, can you tell me?"
After hearing this, the black-faced man didn't even dare to say anything.
"Xiao Ke Song Jiang was originally a small police officer in Yuncheng County."
"Because I had some disputes with people, I filed a life lawsuit."
"After traveling around for a long time, I came to Qingfeng Village and became a little leader."
"The person standing next to me is called Wu Yong Jianghu, and is known as Zhi Duoxing."
"He is the military advisor in our Qingfeng Village."
As soon as Song Jiang finished speaking, Tong Guan pretended to be very surprised.
"It turns out, it turns out that you are the Xiaoyi Heisaburo who is known as Shandong Hubaoyi and Yuncheng Jiyu!"
"No wonder, no wonder!"
"No wonder his knowledge is so vast and his mind is as broad as the sea."
"It is a great honor for me to be lucky enough to meet a good man throughout my life."
Song Jiang was very happy when he heard Tong Guan's compliment.
After the two of them were polite to each other, Tong Guan cautiously spoke out what was on his mind.
"I wonder what the leaders in the village want to do with me?"
"The one hundred thousand taels of gold and one hundred thousand taels of silver that your leader brought up last night is not a small amount."
"However, if I go back, I will definitely cash in this silver."
"So, I invite you to go and intercede with your village leader and ask him to let me return to Beijing as soon as possible."
"After all, the officials in the capital are still waiting for me to return to my hometown."
