Chapter 166 Overweight! The last straw that broke the camel's back
Yuncheng, county government.
Ever since Song Jiang heard about the scandal at home, he no longer went back to the hut and simply lived freely.
As for Zhang Wenyuan, it was as if Song Jiang had never seen him before.
On this day, after finishing his official duties, he went off duty alone, feeling restless and restless, so he simply went to the teahouse opposite to drink tea.
After drinking several cups of tea, Song Jiang took a long breath and finally relaxed a lot.
Suddenly, opposite the county government office, he saw a big man, wearing a white Fanyang felt hat on his head, a black and green Luo jacket, khaki knee pads on his lower legs, and eight pairs of hemp shoes. He had a waist knife across his waist and a knife on his back.
Big bag, sweating profusely from walking and panting, he turned his face away and looked at the county.
Seeing that the big man was walking awkwardly, Song Jiang hurriedly got up and rushed out of the teahouse, following the man.
The two of them walked about twenty or thirty steps away when the man suddenly turned his head and glanced at Song Jiang, but he didn't seem to recognize him.
Song Jiang frowned when he saw this man. He always felt that he looked familiar. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "This man looks a little weird. Where should I have seen him before? Where have I seen him before? I hope he looks like that."
, must be looking for someone."
Song Jiang stopped and couldn't think about it for a moment. For a moment, he didn't know whether to advance or retreat.
Coincidentally, the man turned back to look at Song Jiang again, and finally recognized him. He suddenly stood up and looked at Song Jiang intently, but did not dare to ask.
Song Jiang thought: "This person is so weird, but why does he only look at me?"
Song Jiang didn't dare to ask him.
The two looked at each other, but the man went straight to a shop, raised his hand and asked: "Who is this shopkeeper and the custodian in front of you in this county?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Hey, that person has a famous name. He is our Song Yasi from Yuncheng. He is a philanthropic person."
The man was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward, clasped his fists and bowed, and asked: "Song Yasi, do you recognize me?"
Song Jiang looked around and said: "There is something kind in my step, but I can't recognize it yet."
Seeing that the people around him were talking too much, the big man said softly: "If you dare, ask Song Yasi to lend me a moment to speak."
"Okay!" Song Jiang had this intention. When he heard what the man said, he immediately looked up to the man in front of him.
The two of them walked along the street and turned into a secluded alley.
"This hotel is good. It's best to find a private room upstairs." The big man said, as if he was asking for advice.
Song Jiang didn't say a word, just nodded, turned his head subconsciously, and looked towards the alley again. He was relieved when he saw no one was following him.
For some reason, Song Jiang has always felt very irritable these days since he last saw that tall and mighty man.
There was even a strange feeling of impending disaster, as if there was a big net slowly sweeping towards him.
However, this was just a feeling, and Song Jiang had not found the source. He was very cautious these days and did not notice that he was being followed.
"Strange, what is this feeling? Or am I just disturbing myself?" Song Jiang muttered to himself for a while.
"Song Yasi, please come this way." Just as he was thinking about it, Song Jiang followed the big man to the second floor.
The two of them found a secluded private room, waited for the tea to be served, and then the waiter closed the door and retreated.
The big man took off his sword from his waist, placed it on the table, turned around and knelt on the ground.
Song Jiang was shocked and hurriedly helped him up and asked: "Brother, you can't do this and show such a great gift for nothing."
You, a big man, stood up and said, "My benefactor, why did you forget about my little brother?"
Song Jiang patted his head and said, "I'm really sorry. Brother, I really don't remember it. I just think it looks familiar. It's all my fault. Please remind me."
The man said: "I am Liu Tang from Zhuangzi, the king of Chao Gai. We only escaped with our lives because of your report."
Song Jiang staggered with fright, hurriedly opened the door, looked around, and saw no one outside, he breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Liu Tang and said: "Brother, you are so courageous! There are people everywhere in Yuncheng County now.
We are arresting you. If you dare to go down the mountain now, this is a matter of life and death."
Liu Tang said with a smile: "As long as I can see my brother, even if I lose my head, it's worth it. It's just the intention of many brothers in Liangshan to come here as a reward."
Song Jiang only felt that his scalp was numb and his heart was rumbling.
At this time, Liangshan has become the top priority.
If the government knew that he was connected with the Liangshan thieves, wouldn't it be harmful to me?
Song Jiang hurriedly asked: "Now that King Chao Tian is on the mountain, how are you brothers doing now? And who asked you to come?"
Liu Tang hurriedly said: "If we talk about it, we and our group have taken refuge in Liangshan. The name of the leader of Liangshan is Lin Chong! He was originally the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Army in Tokyo, but now he is the master of Liangshan. He currently has tens of thousands of troops and many leaders.
Occupying the water forts in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and with strong soldiers and horses, there are countless gold and silver treasures. King Chao Tian is now in charge of the water army and is deeply trusted by Lin Chong, the head of the family.
Thinking of your kindness to me, all the heads of the household have specially asked my younger brother to come here. King Chao Tianwang will write a letter and these two hundred taels of gold. I am here to express my gratitude to Song Yasi. I will go and thank Zhu Dutou later."
Liu Tang unwrapped the package and handed the letter to Song Jiang.
After Song Jiang looked at it, he pulled up the pleated front and took out the recruitment bag.
At the other end, Liu Tang took out gold and put it on the table. There were three hundred taels in total, all of which were gold bars, bright and yellow, which was another huge fortune.
Song Jiang pondered for a while, seemed to have made up his mind, took a piece of gold, put it with the schoolbag, put it in the invitation bag, put down his clothes again, and said: "Brother, you will still wrap up the remaining gold and put it on the table."
.You sit down first, I have something to tell you."
Liu Tang did not dare to make any mistakes. Before he came, he had been warned by Wu Yong, so he naturally did not dare to speak nonsense.
After hearing what Song Jiang said, he tied the package again.
"Waiter, serve the wine." Song Jiang shouted.
Then the waiter came to fetch some wine, and asked someone to cut a plate of meat into large chunks, and laid out some vegetables, fruits, etc., and asked the waiter to sift the wine and Liu Tang to eat.
They ate for a long time. Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Tang ate wine and wanted to finish the work early. He immediately opened the gold bag on the table again and took it out.
Song Jiang hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother, please listen to me. You seven brothers have just arrived at the village and are about to use gold and silver. Song Jiang's family has a good living, so they will stay in your village until Song Jiang is short of money.
Brother Song Qing came to pick it up.
Besides, if you surrender to the leader of Lin Chong Village, you must inform him when you go down the mountain, otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion, which is not a good idea.
It’s not me, Song Jiang, who wants to see others today, so I’ll just accept one, that’s enough.
As for Zhu Dian, he also has some private property, so there is no need to talk to him. I will just talk to him about it.
Lei Heng doesn't know that I will repay and keep him upright.
Moreover, this man is a greedy gambler. If he goes out to gamble, he will cause trouble. If it is not safe, the gold must not be given to him.
Dear brother, I don’t dare to let you stay at home. If someone recognizes you, it’s not a joke. The moon will be bright tonight, so you can go back to the mountain stronghold. Don’t delay here. If something happens, your life will be ruined.
ah.
Song Jiang has repeatedly asked all the leaders not to come to celebrate, so please forgive me for this unkind request."
Liu Tang said distressedly: "My brother is so kind, but I don't know how to repay him. King Chao Tian specially ordered his younger brother to send some favors to the police officer to show his filial piety. King Chao Tian also told brother Lin Chong about this matter, and Lin Chong said this
It is a matter of benevolence and righteousness. I also say that you are so heroic and I admire you greatly.
Brother Baozheng is now the commander of the navy, and Mr. Wu is the master of the Tianji Pavilion. He is not as shabby as before. If the elder brother does not accept the money, how can the younger brother dare to go back? He will definitely be punished in the village."
Song Jiangdao: "Since the order is strict, I will write a reply letter and you can take it back when the time comes."
Liu Tang begged for help, but Song Jiang was not willing to accept it.
When he reached the position of superintendent, he had a good idea of what kind of money he could accept and what kind of money he could not accept.
Besides, it would be easier to say if it was three hundred taels of gold, it was just these three hundred taels of gold.
I'm afraid that once the incident comes to light, this will be evidence of crime!
Three hundred taels of gold is easy to hide.
Originally, it would be a good thing if Yan Poxi was obedient and pleasant.
But that girl is also a prostitute and should not be married.
"Humph! It's simply disgusting." Song Jiang scolded Yan Poxi in his heart, and then turned to look at Liu Tang from the corner of his eye.
In his heart, there are ten thousand straw horses. He doesn't know this. Who is in charge?
At this time, the investigation is at its most intense. If Liu Tang is caught and confessed at that time, wouldn't it mean killing him?
Song Jiang felt an inexplicable anger. Was it Chao Gai, Lin Chong, or Wu Yong?
An idea flashed through Song Jiang's mind, and he felt that this matter was not simple, and that Chao Gai was not interesting enough.
"I'm afraid it's a lie to give money, but it's a lie to coax me to go up the mountain." Song Jiang let out a long sigh and couldn't help but be more distracted.
Thinking of this, Song Jiang is willing to accept it.
It's okay to take one and accept them all. If something comes out, it will be evidence of committing suicide.
Then he took a piece of paper, borrowed a pen and inkstone from the restaurant, wrote a reply in detail, and put it in his bag with Liu Tang.
Liu Tang was a straightforward man. Seeing Song Jiang's refusal, he thought he was unwilling to accept it, so he took the gold and wrapped it up.
Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Tang said: "Since the elder brother has a reply, the younger brother will go there overnight."
Song Jiang said: "Good brother, it is better to stay with each other than to care for each other with your heart."
Liu Tang prayed four more times.
Song Jiang called the man who measured the wine and said, "This official has left one tael of silver here. You can take it now. I will come and settle the account tomorrow."
Liu Tang put the package on his back, took the knife, and followed Song Jiang downstairs.
After leaving the restaurant and walking out to the alley, the sky was dim and the moon was rising.
Song Jiang took Liu Tang's hand and said: "Take care, dear brother, don't come again. There are many people here doing business, it's not just for fun. I won't send you far away. This is the only farewell."
When Liu Tang saw the bright moonlight, he walked away, looked at the west road and left, returning to Liangshan overnight.
Only Song Jiang watched away with cold eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
