If it were someone else greeting the family's grandma, Lin Chong wouldn't have made such a big fuss.
In fact, Ms. Cui has made a lot of achievements in the past two years. Even though she has a big belly, she has done a lot of work in the household accounts department and is considered to be the person in charge of the accounts.
Mrs. Cui had a good relationship with Mrs. Lin. Now that Mrs. Lin is emotionally unstable, she relies on Mrs. Cui to comfort her.
Not only that, even Wu Yueniang and Sun Ruoyi at the foot of the mountain were all dealt with by Cui.
Before going north to the official residence of Chai Da to settle Tianxiang's accounts, it was Cui who came forward on behalf of Liangshan.
This was a decision Lin Chong made after repeated weighing.
Everyone was waiting in the mountains, and some of their followers went to invite Zhu Gui.
When Zhu Gui arrived at the Juyi Hall, Lin Chong said: "Brother Zhu Gui is busy with business. I have something to do today, so I need to trouble my brother!"
Zhu Guidao: "But what about brother Liu Heizi? I just happened to return from the hotel and met him."
Lin Chong suddenly understood and said: "Cui's grandmother's hometown is in Yishui County, Yizhou. I heard that brother Zhu Gui is also from Yishui County. I am afraid that there will be many difficulties and obstacles when going south. I also want to let my brothers go to explore.
After Liu Tang comes down from the mountain, go to Jiangzhou first and send a message to Brother Dai Zong, asking him to meet you at Yishui."
"That's it! It's just that there are so many things in the official department right now, I'm afraid no one will be able to deal with them." Zhu Gui said sincerely.
"It doesn't matter! In these days, I will let the two brothers Chao Tianwang and Hua Rong take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for you. When you return, we will deal with it." Lin Chong said immediately, then thought of something and asked again, "A while ago, we
Liangshan's army went south to Jiangzhou and encountered Song Jiang and his party. Black Sanlang recruited many people. One of them was Black Tornado Li Kui. He was originally a jailer in Jiangzhou. I heard that this man was also from Yishui County, Yizhou. Brother Zhu Gui
,Have you heard any news about him?"
Zhu Gui pondered for a while and said: "To be honest, Li Kui and I are from the same hometown. I didn't know this person originally, but I still have a brother in my family, called Zhu Fu, who lives outside the west gate of this county.
In a hotel, there are all kinds of news coming and going, and the news is quite well-informed.
Li Kui lived east of Dongdian, Baizhang Village, this county. He had an older brother named Li Da who worked as a long-term laborer with others. This Li Kui had been fierce and stubborn since he was a child. Because he killed someone, he ran away in the rivers and lakes.
Never heard from him.
I don’t think it’s really strange that I would join Song Jiang’s family now.”
After hearing this, Lin Chong said: "Since we are from the same hometown, we can know a lot of news. You should also pack it up and go down the mountain to help Liu Heizi with his affairs.
I'm just worried that Song Jiang is causing trouble. If you meet Li Kui, you must be careful. He is a murderous maniac. He has no mercy and will kill innocent people indiscriminately when he gets angry."
Hearing this, Zhu Gui understood instantly and said: "I already understand what my brother is thinking. After all, I have to be more careful in order to deal with it."
Lin Chong spoke to Zhu Gui a few more words, and Zhu Gui was unequivocal. After explaining the matter, he put on his clothes, packed his parcel, picked up some money, and left the Golden Beach, heading south.
.....
Autumn is getting darker, and the observation deck in Jiangzhou City has been undergoing renovations recently. Hundreds of workers have been busy working on it for half a month.
Cai Jiu, the prefect of Jiangzhou, has been having a hard time lately.
Fortunately, there is a good father in Tokyo. Even if someone proposes impeachment, they can't do anything to this second-generation official.
Dai Zong, who was imprisoned at the provincial level, ran an errand that day and was drinking in front of the hotel. Halfway through his drink, he saw a red-haired man on the side of the road, carrying a package on his back, and he looked strange.
Dai Zong suddenly remembered that Wu Yong had said a few days ago that if he encounters a red-haired ghost, he must be from Liangshan and come as a messenger.
"Could it be that Brother Shanzhong has sent a message?" Dai Zong's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't sit still, even the wine was tasteless.
He stood up, took two steps back and forth, and glanced around again.
Recently, Song Jiang has been tossing around Jiangzhou for more than half a month, searching everywhere for the so-called remnants of Liangshan. Dai Zong is frightened, fearing that his secret will be exposed and his life will be lost.
That man Song Jiang looks courteous and courteous, but he is very scheming and murders people invisibly!
Fortunately, a few days ago, Song Jiang went north to Qingzhou, and Dai Zong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Dai Zong was still patient and did not rush downstairs.
The red-haired man seemed to have discovered something, so he didn't run around. He found a secluded place downstairs and sat there. When he was hungry, he ate a few pancakes. When he was thirsty, he had a water bag around his waist, so he could take a few sips at will.
.
So one after another, the day was very short, dusk was falling, and there were few pedestrians on the road. Dai Zong immediately went downstairs, pretended to pass by, but asked: "Are you brother Liu Tang?"
The red-haired man suddenly raised his head and said, "I have been waiting for brother Dai Zong for a long time."
"Don't talk too much, just follow me and go to my other courtyard first." Dai Zong said in a low voice.
Liu Tang didn't send letters once or twice. Now that he had experience, he didn't follow too closely. He just looked around, all the way to Dai Zong's courtyard.
The two of them entered the courtyard one after the other.
Dai Zong closed the door with his backhand and walked straight into the inner hall.
When Liu Tang saw Dai Zong, he clasped his fists and saluted.
Dai Zong returned the gift, then lit it up and held it. The dark room suddenly felt a little warmer.
"Liu Tang, Liu Tang, was entrusted by his three brothers, Lin Chong, Chao Gai, and Wu Yong, and came here to deliver a letter and some yellow and white things. I hope my brother will accept it." Liu Tang said, "Brother, there is no need to worry.
When I came this time, I knew that Song Jiang and others were heading north, so I dared to enter the city."
Dai Zong smiled bitterly and said: "Brothers Liu and Tang have worked hard all the way. What important thing do the three brothers have to do? Why bother to make a trip?"
Liu Tang did not dare to neglect, and immediately took out a lacquered letterhead from his arms and handed it to Dai Zong.
Dai Zong opened the letter and scanned the ten lines at a glance. Then he sat on a bench and looked at it carefully. After reading it, he immediately said: "I know the matter. I will rest tonight and set off early tomorrow morning. I will be able to do it that day."
When Yizhou."
Liu Tang was dumbfounded and could not say much. He took out the package from his body and said: "This is fifty taels of silver, and there is another one hundred taels of silver. Brother Lin Chong said that they are your military merit reward and your condolences."
gold."
"Too much! It's really too much." Dai Zong looked at the package, which was full of gold and silver. He was also frightened. "I will take 30%, and the remaining brothers will take them back to the mountains."
Liu Tang shook his head and said: "Brother, please don't make such a joke with me. You must take all these coins, otherwise, Brother Lin Chong will definitely blame me after returning to the mountain!"
Dai Zong took a look at it, took out a gold bar, stuffed it into Liu Tang's hand, and said, "Brother, thank you for your hard work. Please take this as a token of my appreciation."
Liu Tang refused to accept it, put down the gold bars, and said: "Brother, I will just deliver your gold and silver. If brother really wants to thank me, he will go to Liangshan in the future and we can have a good drink. Wouldn't it be fun?"
When Dai Zong heard this, he laughed loudly and nodded: "Brother Liu Tang is so generous. I understand what you mean! Brother, rest here tonight. How about you and I leaving separately early tomorrow morning?"
"The villain means the same thing!"
Dai Zong said a few more words, then went out to buy some meat, vegetables and rice, and brought them back to the small courtyard. They ate together and went to bed early.
Early in the morning of the next day, before dawn, Dai Zong tied four pieces of magical armor to his legs and muttered something, but his eyes suddenly opened!
"Walk!"
After this voice left, Dai Zong was like a ghost, walking away in an instant.
