Not long after the villager left, he saw that the middle door of the village was wide open. Chai Daguan, leading three or five companions, hurriedly ran out and ran to the Huichun Hall to meet Song Jiang. Chai Daguan When people saw Song Jiang, they knelt on the ground and said, "Duan wanted to kill Chai Jin. Fortunately, the strong wind blew me here today. It really comforts my longing for life. How lucky, how lucky."
Song Jiang also prostrated himself on the ground and replied: "Song Jiang is a small official. He came here to talk to you today. He is already a nuisance. How dare you trouble the officials to be so generous?"
Chai Jin helped Song Jiang up and said: "Last night there were lanterns, and today there is a noise, but unexpectedly it is your dear brother who has come." Chai Jin, who was smiling, saw that Song Jiang was covered with injuries, and the smile was fixed on his face as he was about to After asking, Song Jiang was very happy to see Chai Jin's sincere reception. He immediately called his brother Song Qing to come to see him, and Chai Jin and Song Qing also came to see him.
Chai Jin took a look and saw that Song Qing was badly injured all over his body, and he couldn't help but frown slightly at the moment.
Chai Jin called his companion to pack up the luggage of the two brothers Song Yasi and opened a room under the Xixuan in the back hall for the use of the two brothers Song Jiang and Song Qing. Chai Jin immediately took Song Jiang's hand and entered the main hall inside. After going, the guests and hosts were seated, Chai Jin asked someone to serve tea, and then asked: "I don't dare to ask. I heard that my brother was doing things in Yuncheng County, how did he find time to come to this deserted village?"
Song Jiang followed Chai Jin's gaze to look at his injuries, and replied with a smile: "I have heard the names of high officials for a long time, and it is like thunder in my ears. Although I have won Hua Han many times, I just hate that the humble servants have no time to spare and cannot meet each other. Today Song Jiang was not talented, so he did something without any consequences. The two brothers were thinking about it, but they had nowhere to settle down. They remembered that the high officials were generous and generous, so they came here to seek refuge."
After Chai Jin heard this, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, brother, as long as you don't commit any of the ten heinous crimes, you don't have to worry when you come to our village. I'm not boasting about Chai Jin. I'll let him capture and steal the officers and soldiers, and I don't dare to look directly at the village." , he wanted to come in, but I had to give him the nod, so he had the courage,"
After hearing this, Song Jiang briefly told Chai Jin about the killing of Yan Po Xi, but he omitted to mention anything about Shi Jin.
After hearing this, Chai Jin started to laugh and said, "Brother, don't worry. Not only did he kill a mere woman, but he also killed the imperial official and robbed the treasury's finances. Chai Jin dared to hide you in the village," he said. , Chai Jin paused and asked: "Since, as my brother said, he just killed the woman by mistake, why did the two of them end up with wounds all over their bodies? Could it be that something unexpected happened later?"
Song Jiang replied: "My two brothers escaped from Yuncheng County overnight, thinking of coming to Chaida Guanren, but they didn't expect anything to happen along the way. When they arrived at the nearby border, they were killed by bandits along the way. If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet a good man to save me, I'm afraid I would never see the official again before my bones were cold."
Chai Jin's heart tightened when he heard this, but when he calmed down and thought about it again, he was wrong. There were no bandits in this area of dozens of miles, but all those swordsmen in the world would buy firewood to save face. He would definitely not kill anyone in this place even if he was in a dilemma. Chai Jin immediately asked: "Asi, how many people do they have and what is the name of their leader?"
"The situation was so urgent that I didn't even bother to count. There were about fifty or sixty people. The leader was a dark man, quite big. He held a broad-bladed mountain-chopping knife in his hand and held it fiercely. He didn't want to give his name. , just saying what it’s called three eyes,”
"Three...eyes..." Chai Jin carefully searched for any information related to it in his mind. However, even thinking about it, he never thought of anyone in the surrounding world with such a nickname, even if he didn't even think about it. There had never been any rumors related to it. Chai Jin shook his head slightly and said: "This person's name... it doesn't affect me at all. I don't know what the broad-bladed mountain-climbing sword this person uses looks like."
After hearing this, Song Jiang immediately stretched out his two hands to make a gesture about two knots wide, and said: "It is so wide and the ends are unusually tight. Only those who wield weapons in the world can Not much to fear,”
Chai Jin nodded and said: "From what you said, brother, he is definitely not a person like me on the ground. Let me ask you, brother, do you have any enemies?"
Song Jiang shook his head, but his heart was suddenly awakened by Chai Jin's words. He remembered and associated many things in an instant.
When the man suddenly jumped out to block the road, he first said, "I did not plant this tree, and I did not make this road. I must pass by from the west and leave my head behind." This was obviously announcing his home, indicating that Although he knew that he was not from this place, the robbery on the way was not for making money, but to kill people. Thinking of this, Song Jiang couldn't help but think of more:
,,"But Song Yasi from Yuncheng County, you are the one who is known as the timely rain?"
,,"It's Xiaoke,"
,,"It's really better to be famous than to meet. I had heard your name on the mountain before, but I couldn't see you. Yesterday, someone mentioned you again, so I made up my mind to meet you, but I didn't expect it to be here. It's really... Nice to meet you, nice to meet you,"
,,"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it, but I don't know which brother I mentioned to you yesterday is probably familiar with me,"
,,"What Aji said is right, you two are extremely familiar with each other, and he has a 'thorough understanding' of 'everything' about you,"
,,"I can't afford to waste time. I have to rush back to the mountain stronghold before sunset. Stop chatting. Let's take a trip with Si Yasi."
,,"Brother, don't send me away, I'll just go and see you later,"
,, "But it's not up to you. Someone asked me to take your life. It's all a favor but I can't refuse it. Come on,"
Song Jiang thought of this one after another, and his heart suddenly became clear. All the doubts in his heart were instantly opened, and his heart suddenly tightened, "Shi Jin, you are so cruel, and your methods are so vicious."
When Shi Jin left angrily that day, his last words were: "I'll talk to you another day.", This... isn't this exactly that day?
When Song Jiang thought of this, he couldn't help but think of Shi Jin's last face, and then he remembered the scene when Shi Jin grabbed Yan Poxi's wrist and held her naked in his arms... Song Jiang thought of this, and the position in his heart felt like Suddenly, a dagger was stabbed hard, which made him cry out in pain, but it also made him hate it so much that his teeth itched.
Chai Jin noticed the complicated changes in Song Jiang's face and asked with concern: "Did the escort think of something? Who was it that deceived you? I have such a bad temper with you."
Song Jiang was slightly startled by Chai Jin's words, and then he withdrew himself to reality with a sudden pain, but the brother's death... this made Song Jiang, who was "clad in red and green", really unable to say anything. When he talked about the time of the crime, he didn't mention the story about Shi Jin, and he couldn't say anything at the moment, so he forced a smile and said: "Thank you for your kindness, sir. Xiao Ke just thought of some old things, and was a little sad, but I don’t know who is responsible for this matter, so I can simply escape and throw it away again. Senior officials should not bother to worry about it.”
Chai Jin knew that Song Jiang was speaking politely, and thought that it was inconvenient for others to say it, so he would not ask any more questions. He looked at the tattered clothes of the two brothers Song Jiang and Song Qing who had been stabbed with knives, so he immediately asked someone to take out two sets of clothes. , scarves, silk shoes, and clean socks were given to the Song Jiang brothers to change. When they all wore new clothes, Chai Jin invited Song Jiang to the back hall. At this time, a banquet had been arranged, and Song Jiang was invited to sit on the ground in front of him. , Chai entered the opposite table. Song Qing, with Song Jiang on top, sat down with his head tilted. The three of them sat down, and there were more than a dozen bankers and several supervisors near them, taking turns to hold the cups and wait for the drink.
Chai Jin repeatedly urged Brother Song Jiang to have a few drinks without hesitation. Song Jiang thanked him endlessly. After drinking to his heart's content, the three of them expressed their deep respect for each other day and night. Seeing that it was getting late, they lit lamps and candles.
Song Jiang couldn't bear to drink one glass after another. He felt a little timid at the moment and said: "That's it. If I drink any more, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."
After hearing this, Chai Jin burst out laughing and said, "If you get drunk, sleep here and let him get drunk. Don't worry about it."
Song Jiang smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm just afraid that I'm going to get upset in my stomach, turn the river upside down, and ruin the integrity of the high officials."
Chai Jinyu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry so much. There are servants waiting on you, and I'm afraid you'll be in trouble. Come on, come on, let's drink again." After that, he came up to persuade me to drink.
Song Jiang wanted to resign, but Chai Jin tried to persuade him several times, but there was nothing he could do. It was such a kindness that it was hard to refuse, so Song Jiang had no choice but to risk his life and drink with him until around the first watch. Song Jiang got up and went to clean his hands. Chai Jin He called a banker to carry a lantern and lead Song Jiang to the end of the east corridor to clean his hands. Song Jiang turned around twice with the banker, avoiding his sight, and then said sarcastically: "Let's rest here casually, let me sober up." ," After that, he walked slowly, walked out of the front corridor, swayed forward, and then turned to the front of the east corridor.
Song Jiang was already eighty percent drunk at this time. He staggered and stepped forward. There was a big man sitting on the porch, leaning against a wine jar, just drinking there.
Song Jiang raised his face and saw people, but he didn't see the wine jar on the ground. He stepped forward top-heavy, but he was holding the wine jar. With a bang, the wine jar was kicked down the steps by Song Jiang and broke into pieces. A piece of wine was poured into the man's face. The man was startled and felt unhappy. The man jumped up, grabbed Song Jiang by the chest, and shouted: "What kind of birdman are you? How dare you come here?" Just entertain me," Song Jiang never expected that the man would strike so quickly, and he was surprised at the moment.
When Song Jiang looked again, he was startled again, but the man was also stunned for a moment, but his expression quickly changed. There was no kindness on his face, and he became even more angry. He couldn't help but gain three points more strength in his hand, until The bones crack when pinched,
