"Damn those Liangshan thieves! They made a big fuss in the capital on the night of Shang Yuan, and I haven't settled the score with them yet!"

The last time Li Kui set fire to Liuxiang with fireworks, it ruined the emperor's tryst with his beautiful lady. The emperor still complains in his heart.

"Exactly! Your Majesty, this group of thieves openly plundered the prefecture and killed the common people wantonly. Everyone is in danger wherever they go. If they are not eradicated as soon as possible, they will become a big trouble in the future!"

Some ministers repeatedly echoed that they had long hated these thieves.

Because a large part of the filial piety from the birthday card has been robbed by these thieves.

However, the imperial censor had a different view.

"Your Majesty, I heard that a large flag was erected on Liangshan Mountain with the four characters 'Practice for Heaven' written on it. This is something to deceive the people."

"If the people's hearts are really deceived by them, they should not send troops easily to avoid shaking our country and the country."

"Now that the Liao soldiers have invaded the country, all the troops and horses are unable to rescue them. In my humble opinion, it is better to drive away the wolves and devour the tigers and let these desperadoes serve the court and fight against the Liao soldiers together!"

"I hope your Majesty will give you a holy book!"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the officials in the court lit up.

"Your Majesty, what the imperial censor said makes sense!"

"Using unrighteousness to defeat unrighteousness will hurt both sides. It's really wonderful!"

The Liangshan thieves gathered in the mountains and forests with a roar and refused to obey the imperial court's control. This was an unethical act.

The Liao soldiers broke the peace between the two countries and caused a loss of life, which was unjust.

If the two sides could come to terms with each other, it would be extremely beneficial to the court."

"What the Qing family said is exactly what I want!"

Immediately, he sent his chamberlain, Taiwei Chen, with the imperial edict and imperial wine to summon him.

However, before setting off, Cai Yuanchang and Gao Qiu each arranged for a confidant to come in.

The emperor's order suddenly became the order of two "adults".

…

As early as Liangshan, there had been careful reports of the news coming back from the capital.

After hearing this, Song Gongming was overjoyed and hurriedly said to his brothers: "After the recruitment, we will become the court officials. We have endured many hardships in vain, and finally achieved the right result!"

The mission of Lord Tiankui is to prevent the Zhoutian Demon Star from causing chaos. Once everyone has been educated by the imperial court, the disaster will be more than half over.

"Haha, according to Wu's speculation, this recruitment will definitely fail!"

The demon star Wu Yong was not optimistic about the imperial court and couldn't help pouring cold water on it.

"Even if we are recruited, we will definitely be treated as nothing. In my opinion, it is best for the court to send a large army, and we will kill him personally and make everyone in the court afraid. Then it is considered a good time to recruit people!"

“Wouldn’t this destroy my word ‘loyalty’ in Liangshan?”

"Don't be suspicious, just make arrangements to listen to the edict!"

Song Jiang waved his hand and ordered.

Then the Holy Hand Scholar took the order and took seven or eight people to meet the angel twenty miles away.

Let us also say that when Taiwei Chen left the capital, there were only five or six people.

When they arrived at the border of Yanzhou, more than 300 pawns and servants who wanted to get some credit for their work suddenly swarmed in and arrived at the foot of Liangshan Mountain.

The master scholar Xiao Rang and others lined up on both sides to greet him.

Officer Zhang of the Cai Mansion squinted his eyes and asked, "Why don't you see Song Jiang? The emperor's edict has arrived, how dare he not come to receive it in person? Doesn't he take His Majesty's attention into consideration?"

"How can you and these damn guys be accepted by the imperial court? Please ask the Taiwei to return to the capital!"

Director Zhang started to stop doing human affairs.

Xiao Rang and others hurriedly bowed down and apologized: "We in Xiaozhai have never received an imperial edict from the imperial court. We do not know the etiquette. We hope that Lord Taiwei will calm down." Song Gongming and other leaders were waiting at the foot of the mountain to greet him. Please come to us.

It will be a great event for the whole country!"

"Hmph! If it weren't for the sake of accomplishing a good thing, how could the imperial court tolerate thieves like you?"

Director Li mocked from the side.

Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang, Sai Rengui and Guo Sheng couldn't help but secretly curse in their hearts, but they had to go against their temper and receive them.

When the group came to the waterside, Liang Shanbo had already prepared three warships, and it was Ruan Xiaoqi who led the team.

When everyone got on the boat, Ruan Xiaoqi said hello, and the boatmen rowed their oars in unison and immediately sang a chant.

"Noisy! Your noble man is here, how dare you act so presumptuously?"

Director Li is looking for trouble again.

The boatmen paid no attention to it and sang loudly on their own.

Officer Li was so angry that he touched the cane and greeted the boatmen.

"We sing our songs, what do you want?"

The leading boatmen responded with angry expressions.

"You are a gang of rebels, how dare you talk back?"

Officer Li waved the cane and all the boatmen jumped into the water.

"Hmph! I've driven all my men into the water. Let's see who will help you move the ship!"

Just when he was unhappy, he saw a ship coming upstream to meet him, so Ruan Xiaoqi pulled out the plug reserved on the ship.

"Ah, the boat is leaking!"

There was a strange cry, and water spurted out from the mouth, and soon it poured into the water more than a foot deep.

Taiwei Chen and others hurriedly called for help and moved to other ships.

After they left, Ruan Xiaoqi had already blocked the plug and ordered everyone to scoop out the water in the cabin.

"Boss, Yujiu is still here, he was almost soaked in water!"

The boatmen finished packing and brought out the royal wine.

"Open a bottle and let me have a taste first!"

One of his men obeyed the order, opened the seal on the wine bottle, and handed it to him.

"For the safety of brother Gongming, I will test the poison with myself first!"

Gudong! Gudong!

He picked up the bottle and drank it in one gulp.

"Ha! It tastes good. Let's have another bottle!"

One bottle followed another, his mouth was slipping after eating, and all four bottles in a row went into his stomach.

"Oh, something bad happened!"

Ruan Xiaoqi slapped his forehead and thought to himself, that's terrible.

There was something clever among the boatmen, and he quickly replied: "We still have a barrel of wine on the other boat, why not..."

"Forget it! Let you guys have a try, and we'll make the fuss later!"

Ruan Xiaoqi waved his hand and distributed all the remaining six bottles of royal wine.

It is said that we share blessings and share hardships. After drinking the royal wine, we are even more like people in the same boat!

After drinking, everyone rowed their boats together and rushed back to meet Song Jiang and others.

…

Seeing Taiwei Chen come ashore, Song Jiang paid homage to him.

"Old official of Yanzhou, I sincerely welcome the arrival of the angel. I hope you will forgive me for missing the way to greet you!"

When Director Li saw his submissive appearance, his attitude became even more arrogant and domineering.

"The Taiwei is a minister of the imperial court. You, a nobleman from Liangshan, came to recruit An'er and others. You actually used a leaky boat and fishermen from the mountains to greet you, and almost lost your life! What crime should you do?"

"I have many good ships up and down Mount Liang, how dare I bring a leaky ship to welcome the nobles?"

Song Jiang didn't know what was happening on the water, so he complained repeatedly.

"You still said no! The lieutenant's clothes are already wet, how can you still lie?"

Officer Zhang pointed at Taiwei Chen's clothes and continued to be aggressive.

Song Jiang saw him and accused him again and again.

Before Lieutenant Chen could say anything, the two of them had already begun to make preoccupations with each other, without a good attitude at all. Seeing the five tiger generals and eight hussar generals behind Song Jiang, they secretly felt hatred and wished they could just go forward and kill these two men with their swords.

Unfortunately, with Song Jiang blocking them in front, no one dared to take action.

After being subdued for a while, Song Jiang invited Chen Taiwei to get on the sedan chair. Director Zhang and Director Li got into the Baoju and beat gongs and drums all the way to the front of the Zhongyi Hall.

Then the Taiwei was invited to take his seat, and everyone knelt in front of the hall according to their seats, listening to the Holy Spirit's will.
