The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty

When Gao Ming got home, Hua Rong hadn't come back yet, so he hugged his shoulders and waited for him angrily.

Not long after, Hua Rong came back from the outside, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Gao Ming with a face of resentment. He walked over cautiously, "What's the matter? This is, you can hang an oil bottle on your mouth. What happened?"

Gao Ming said bitterly: "I met Zhou Tong on the way back just now, he...he..."

Before Hua Rong came back, he was figuring out how to tell Hua Rong about this matter, and he always felt it was hard to tell. Before he was teased by Yin Tianci, he didn't speak to Hua Rong.

As a result, he encountered the same situation now. It was unreasonable for him, a straight man who was famous for coveting Mrs. Lin, to encounter such things twice in a row.

But it’s absolutely impossible not to say it, and I’m panicked if I don’t say this bad breath.

"What happened to him? Did he hit you?" Hua Rong's expression changed.

"It didn't hurt me, he disgusted me!" Gao Ming found out that he had to tell the truth, he couldn't beat around the bush, "I'll tell you in advance, you have to be mentally prepared, don't be sick. I just came back and met Zhou Tong, he I don’t know why I was going crazy, and said to me, ‘Since I didn’t buy him a woman, let me give him myself.

He didn't repeat Zhou Tong's words to Hua Rong completely. For example, Zhou Tong guessed that he was good with Hua Rong, so he didn't say it.

He only wanted Hua Rong to beat people, but he didn't want Hua Rong to kill people. He wanted Hua Rong to hear about it and he wouldn't die of anger.

But just for these, Hua Rong gritted his teeth, "I think he's tired of working!"

Hua Rong was so angry that the three corpses jumped violently, and smoke rose from the seven orifices, wishing to scratch Zhou Tong alive.Immediately, he took off the thin bow on the wall and hung it on his shoulder, hung his quiver on his waist, and lifted the silver gun in the corner with his right hand, and was about to go out to seek revenge.

Gao Ming persuaded: "Let's go after dinner."

Hua Rong was so full of anger, how could she be in the mood to eat any more dinner, and went out angrily.

Zhou Tong, how dare something like a pig and dog like Gao Ming? !

Gao Ming followed Hua Rong, and he supported himself, how could he not help.

Zhou Tong and the others lived not far away, and Hua Rong walked quickly in anger, and arrived at Zhou Tong's small courtyard in a short while.

Only then did I realize that there were a hundred or so minions, all guarding the door with weapons, not to let Hua Rong in.

It turned out that Zhou Tong went back to the courtyard and thought about it for a while, and he was a little afraid of the reckless behavior just now.

So he asked Li Zhong's ten minions and his ten servants to take up weapons, and together with the original Taohuashan subordinates who were called temporarily, they quickly gathered a hundred or so people.

Although the Taohuashan minions were incorporated into Liangshan's team, many people remembered the original king in their hearts, and they quickly gathered together to protect Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong was thinking about whether Hua Rong could come into the house, let's forget about it tonight, as for tomorrow, he might calm down, at worst, he would sue Chao Gai, ask the people above to make peace, everyone shook hands and made peace, It's over.

Zhou Tong looked out through the crack of the window, and sure enough, he saw Hua Rong coming menacingly, and thought happily, fortunately, he was prepared.

Don't say anything today and don't go out, Huarong can't hurt hundreds of people and rush in.

The same leader from Taohuashan, Li Zhong quietly peeked out, seeing that Huarong's formation was clearly a military general's call for battle, he said with some fear: "What did you do?"

Li Zhong has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and later became a robber in Taohua Mountain. He has seen the world and knows the extent of the other party's anger. The matter is not trivial, and he must have provoked him severely.

"I really didn't do anything." Ding Tian said, it's just that he said some nasty things with his mouth, is it worth the other party's anger.

Li Zhong couldn't believe it, he looked outside in fear, "I don't think this Huarong will let it go."

"I don't believe he can still come in. There are so many minions, even standing up and letting him cut him will make him tired." Zhou Tong whispered while lying on the edge of the window.

On Gao Ming's side, seeing so many minions blocking the entrance of the courtyard and refusing to let Hua Rong in, he couldn't help humming in his heart, so Zhou Tong also knew to be afraid, so he made preparations in advance. ah.

The little ones crowded at the door and stood in the courtyard, looking at their posture and not wanting to back down, they all shouted: "Zhou Tou is sick and can't see guests, please go back."

It looked like there were a lot of people, but the word "fear" was written on everyone's face, anyone with long eyes could tell that Huarong was full of murderous spirit, if there was a real fight, regardless of the number of them, most of them would be killed or injured in a blink of an eye.

Huarong shouted: "You people, you need to know that there is a grievance and a debtor, and tell Zhou Tong to get out. If you are willing to stand out, first weigh your own weight." Aim at a peach blossom tree in the courtyard, "My first arrow will shoot at the branch protruding from the top of that tree." After saying that, release the arrow, and with just one arrow, the sharp arrow will cut off the raised branch. broken.

All the minions were shocked.

Hua Rong took the second arrow, "I will shoot the second arrow at the red tassel on the door god's helmet!" He shot an arrow at the door panel of the main door of the house. The stickers were originally not big, and Hongying was only half the size of a finger joint.

The point is that this arrow passed through the minions, the speed was too fast, I didn't see how it was sent out, and when I recovered, the arrow had already been nailed to the door panel.

All the minions turned pale with astonishment.

Hua Rong put on a third arrow, "My third arrow is going to shoot you into the heart of this idiot." With full bowstring, he aimed at the crowd without saying which idiot to shoot.

All the minions were terrified and shouted: "Run!" They fled in all directions like birds and beasts, and there was no one in the yard in a blink of an eye.

Hua Rong strode straight in, kicked open the door, and looked for people from room to room.

Finally, at the back window, he grabbed Zhou Tong who was about to escape through the window.

Zhou Tong wanted to stretch his head and shrink his head with a knife, and forced his aura, "Where do you care about me? Why, do you have anything to do with me?"

Hua Rong saw a water-green heavy gun stuck in the corner of the wall, so he stepped forward to hook it, grabbed it and threw it to Zhou Tong, "You know what I'm looking for you for, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhou Tong took the weapon in his hand and stared at Hua Rong, "If you are not angry, it's not that I can't apologize." Before he finished speaking, Hua Rong stabbed at him with a silver gun in his hand, "Whoever wants you to apologize, just do it!" Get beaten!"

The room was narrow, and Zhou Tong hurriedly dodged, just in time to reveal an opening, and Hua Rong kicked him out along the window.

Gao Ming didn't follow Hua Rong into the house, and had been standing outside the door. At this moment, he heard the sound of clattering and clanging in the afternoon. He hurried over and saw Zhou Tong being knocked out from the back window, and the window lattice was shattered. land.

The moment Zhou Tong landed, he rolled a few times and got up to run.

But before his feet kicked off the ground, Hua Rong, who was chasing after him, hit his calf with a gun, and fell on his face in an instant.

"Hua Touling, why bother?" Li Zhong ran out to be a peacemaker, "If there is anything we can't sit down and talk about calmly, we have to use swords and guns."

"Don't do your business, whoever helps him today, don't blame me for being rude."

Although Li Zhong is nicknamed Tiger Fighter, he has never fought a tiger, and his martial arts skills are mediocre. As a Kaimeng teacher, he taught Jiuzhilong Shi Jin, and later Shi Jin met his instructor Wang Jin. Solid, Shi Jin's subsequent improvement in martial arts was promoted by Wang Jin.

Li Zhong weighed his own strength, and he couldn't do it recklessly, so he stopped talking to Hua Rong and turned around to ask for help.

While Li Zhong was talking to Hua Rong, Zhou Tong got up from the ground and swung the green spear in his hand to hit Hua Rong, "Do you really think I'm afraid of you?! I'll let you have a look at Lord Ma today. "

Seeing that he was so unrepentant, Hua Rong couldn't help being furious, "Then you should take a good look at it!"

After only a few rounds, Zhou Tong was beaten and lay on the ground. He hurriedly raised a hand to signal Hua Rong to stop, wiped the blood from his face, and said weakly: "Listen to me, I only like women, right? What Sun Xiaowu said was really just a joke."

After hearing this, Hua Rong was still angry, "Are you kidding me?"

"Really, really, especially the sentence that he is good to you, and he is not good to me. It's completely nonsense! Don't take it to heart."

Hua Rong only felt a thump in his heart, and then his ears felt hot, and he clenched the handle of the gun a little bit, furious, "So you said such a thing?!"

Gao Ming only clicked his lips, Zhou Tong, you said you, are you looking for death?

So Huarong didn't know? !Zhou Tong really wanted to rip off his bad mouth!Before the opponent's weapon fell, he shouted in panic: "No matter what I say, it's really just a joke!"

……

-

"Leader Lu, this way." Li Zhong led Lu Zhishen all the way, urging him to leave quickly, "I don't know how Brother Zhou Tong provoked that Huarong, and he even called to show off his might. Look for you."

Lu Zhishen and Zhou Tong had a relationship. When Zhou Tong wanted to snatch Liu Taigong's daughter from Peach Blossom Village, Lu Zhishen felt wronged and beat him until he cried and howled and saved the girl.

Not knowing each other, Lu Zhishen went to Taohuashan as a guest for a few days, but Li Zhong and Zhou Tong were very stingy, and they couldn't get along, so Lu Zhishen left on his own.

But no matter what, they were acquaintances. Li Zhong felt that there were not many people on this mountain who could restrain Huarong.

Lu Zhishen and Li Zhong entered the courtyard, but they didn't see Hua Rong, so they asked some timid young people, "What about Hua Rong?"

The little guy replied truthfully, "After beating the man, he left. Leader Zhou was knocked to the ground within a few rounds, and now Leader Zhou has no good meat on him."

Li Zhong saw that the young people in this yard were all busy, "Where is the leader of Zhou, what are you doing?"

"We were looking for a rope, and Zhou Touling was in the pit." Xiao Luo repeated: "Hua Touling finally threw Zhou Touling into an abandoned cellar, and he got stuck in it. People dragged them out."

When Li Zhong heard this, he just wanted to help his forehead, why was he beaten so badly.

Lu Zhishen also beat Zhou Tong to the point where he was crawling all over the ground. It's hard to say that Hua Rong's attack was too heavy, so he said: "Get a rope, and Sajia will pull Zhou Touling out."

Soon the little guy found a rope, and tied Zhou Tong who was stuck, and asked Lu Zhishen to hold the rope with both hands, and dragged him up from the narrow mouth of the well.

Lu Zhishen checked it. At most, he hurt his tendons, but he didn't move his bones. "I can't die, just take care of me."

Zhou Tong screamed, he was carried down by the young men.

Lu Zhishen couldn't come in vain, Li Zhong entertained him with a meal of wine and meat, and then left in a big way.

-

When Huarong came back after tidying up Zhou Tong, he still couldn't eat dinner, and when he thought of Zhou Tong's words, he became flustered with anger, his face was hot, and his heart was angry, "I, Huarong, a man of seven feet, behaves well, how can I do that?" Will it be the kind of broken sleeve that violates human ethics?!"

Gao Ming was listening at the side, he was also annoyed at first, but Hua Rong was more angry than him, so he couldn't get angry, and persuaded him: "He just said casually, if I live with someone else, he will do it for me. Disgusting me, I have to say that, it shouldn't be aimed at you!"

"Anyway, we are good brothers, not like what he said, we cannot tolerate his nonsense and slander!"

"I've already been beaten, calm down, there's no need to get angry because of him, and Zhou Tong also said, he's just talking nonsense."

Just like what Gao Ming thought, many good men usually only stretch their muscles and bones, and they are not even close to women. They are afraid that others will look down on them and say that they are close to men, but their lungs will explode.

Huarong's lungs had obviously blown up. First, he scolded Zhou Tong for his habit of cutting off sleeves and splitting peaches. If it wasn't getting late, he might beat Zhou Tong again.

After Gao Ming persuaded Hua Rong for a while, Hua Rong calmed down a bit.

But lying on the bed at night, suddenly thinking of Zhou Tong's words, he was still furious.

Really, who is to say who broke the sleeve? !Even if he really falls for a bandit, he won't be a broken sleeve!

YouQi also said that he and Gao Ming were a couple. Thinking of this, Hua Rong's heart jumped a few times, and he felt that it was Zhou Tong who made his heart palpitate, and couldn't sleep more.

Gao Ming heard Hua Rong's continuous turning over through the curtain, thinking that this temper must be a little too strong.

-

The next day, everyone in the village knew that Hua Rong beat Zhou Tong severely, but as for why the three of them didn't say anything, no one else knew.

But even if we don't say it, it's a matter of harmony among the leaders. Except for Zhou Tong who is recuperating in the house, Hua Rong and Gao Ming were taught not to use force for anything, so as not to hurt the feelings between brothers.

Hua Rong didn't like oil and salt, and said bluntly: "I beat him up yesterday without dinner, and it's already cheap for him."

Gao Ming's attitude was much better, and he promised that peace is the most important thing in the future, and there will never be any more fights.

Song Jiang felt that this was an opportunity, Hua Rong was no longer with him, so why not take this opportunity to repair him, and said to Chao Gai: "No matter what happens, you should discuss it with the village owner and the leaders, how can you use force in private? What about the solution? We just reunited, and just because of this incident broke the harmony, it really shouldn't be. Why don't Brother Hua Rong apologize to Brother Zhou Tong in front of the leaders in Juyi Hall."

"He must be dreaming." Hua Rong sneered, and said to the rest of the leaders: "I beat someone yesterday, but today my hands are sore, I need to go down and get some hot water for compresses. I'm sorry, everyone. Let me go." Get up and leave, Qin Ming followed thereafter.

Gao Ming didn't leave immediately, but continued to eat the candied fruit and fruit in front of him, and left after finishing what he needed to eat.

Chao Gai actually didn't like Hua Rong's unruly attitude, but this attitude was aimed at Song Jiang, so he liked it very much.

He showed the tolerance that a copycat leader should have, and said with a wry smile: "Young and vigorous, I think I was the same back then."

It is said that he was like this when he was young, obviously he did not intend to punish Hua Rong.

But Song Jiang was not in a hurry, he just pretended to be worried about the situation of the great unity in the cottage, "It is true that you are young and energetic, but I am afraid that this will cool the hearts of other brothers." Standing up slowly, he walked out with his hands behind his back.

Chao Gai didn't take this matter to heart, since Zhou Tong didn't die anyway, maybe after a beating, he and Hua Rong could become good friends.

Within a few days, he found that things were changing.

First of all, Zhou Tong claimed that Hua Rong beat him so badly that besides pain in his muscles, bones and flesh, his head was useless, and he couldn't sleep because of the pain overnight.

Secondly, Zhou Tong claimed that Huarong was a military officer who surrendered to Liangshan, and he was highly regarded by the village owner. He was beaten as soon as he was beaten. No one cares anyway, so please stop asking about this matter.

The second point is quite venomous, because Huarong defected to Liangshan as a commander, and he acted like a domineering, beating the general leaders of the mountain, and the village owner favored him and dealt with him unfairly.

This is clearly the lower-level leader shouting:

Aren't we all brothers?Why is it divided into big and small? Some people are favored, while others just ignore it.

This is not a trivial matter, it is about the fundamental fairness of the cottage, whether it can gain a foothold in the arena, will it be possible for Hua Rong Qin Ming and others, or the old leaders of Liangshan to bully the new leaders at will?

When Chao Gai realized that the situation was wrong, the public opinion was already raging.

In the early morning, there were Dai Zong, Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun at the gate of Juyi Hall who wanted to see Chao Gai, and even Li Kui yelled: "It's better to follow Brother Song Jiang to kill Tokyo, and the brothers are all generals, it's better to be angry in this bird village." !"

There are still some who did not come to the Juyi Hall, but they are all concerned about the outcome of this matter.

Chao Gai appeased these new leaders, promised a fair result, then called Gao Ming over, and persuaded him, "You and Hua Rong discuss it, and give Zhou Tong company in front of everyone."

Can Huarong compensate Zhou Tong?It is possible to beat him up again.

Gao Ming said in a difficult way: "Village Master, I'm afraid this will be difficult."

Chao Gai only wanted to get over the crisis as soon as possible, "Because of this incident, the leaders who came up the mountain later felt that our rewards and punishments in Liangshan were unclear, favored the old leaders, and treated the new leaders unfairly. This is not a trivial matter."

Of course, this is not a trivial matter. If it were a trivial matter, Song Jiang would not be so troublesome.

With Zhou Tong's head alone, he would never have thought of such an entry point for public opinion in his next life.

There must be someone behind to make suggestions and change the nature of this matter from a fight between the leaders to a dispute between the old and new leaders.

It's poisonous, if you do it like this, Huarong's public opinion can't help being deflated, and even Chao Gai will be implicated.

These newcomers originally followed Song Jiang. From this point of view, it was unfair for Chao Gai to lead the village, to protect the old men who were military officers, and he didn't care about them who came up the mountain later.

If you go a step further, you will wonder whether it is worthwhile to follow such a leader in Liangshan?

Then think about the danger, that is, the benevolent, impartial brother Song Gongming is obviously more suitable for the position of the village owner.

It is true that Song Jiang's real goal is to be in power.

Gao Ming thought to himself, it's really that the little demon in the temple is so powerful, and there are so many kings in Chiqian, on the top of a Liangshan mountain, the war between the old and the new leaders is so easily provoked.

Chao Gai's tone was not in a negotiating tone, "Go back and tell Leader Hua, at least apologize to Zhou Dao. I'll choose a time, the day after tomorrow morning."

Because the morning after tomorrow is the first day of the next month, and the day is good.

Gao Ming thought for a while, "At this time, an apology is a complete loss. The new leaders outside will feel that the village master is partial, otherwise, why would everyone give in when they start a fight. Apologizing now, instead The matter of favoritism is confirmed."

Song Jiang won't lose money, once the public opinion stirs up, even if Huarong apologizes, it will be considered as a concession made under pressure, and he also proved his favoritism. If there is no favoritism, why admit his mistake?It would be even more plausible not to apologize. The whole thing is relying on the favor of the village owner, and he is stubborn.

Chao Gai frowned, "Then what do you say?"

It is also very difficult for him now, Huarong is his strength, he does not want to offend Huarong, Qin Ming and others.

But if he continues like this, what he loses is the prestige of the village master.

"...I'll go back and think of a way. If it doesn't work, we'll apologize to Zhou Tong the morning after tomorrow." Gao Ming threw out a plan to delay the attack.

Chao Gai agreed, but in the end he felt that even apologizing was not a good solution, "However, you should go back and think about other ways. It is best to have a third way."

Gao Ming left the Juyi Hall and walked on the road, feeling some very subtle gazes.

He also heard people whispering, "Look, that's Sun Xiaowu, the village owner's pride. He and Huarong are the village owner's confidantes. They have the final say in this cottage. We newcomers don't even count. Hit as you please, kill as you want."

Tsk, this is the basis for shaking Chao Gai's rule.

"What are you talking about?" Someone suddenly interrupted the whispering.

Gao Ming saw that it turned out to be Lu Fang and Guo Sheng. The two walked towards Gao Ming with the same hatred, "Boss Sun, you go back and tell Chief Hua that we both absolutely trust him in this matter! Although we are new to the mountain, But definitely don't misunderstand him!"

Ever since they were shot by Hua Rong with an arrow in the fight with weapons, they all admired Hua Rong, and even thought of giving up Fang Tian's painting of halberds and studying archery instead, but Hua Rong was very cold and ignored the apprentice who sent him to his door.

The two of them were very depressed for a while. Although they had nowhere to learn from teachers, their admiration for Huarong remained undiminished.

It turned out to be you two fans, "Thank you, I will bring the message."

Under the supportive eyes of Lu Fang and Guo Sheng, Gao Ming returned to his residence.

Gao Ming actually liked Song Jiang's war of confidence crisis against Chao Gai.

He wished the two of them would fight, but he didn't like it when Hua Rong was involved.

Especially that guy Zhou Tong, not to mention being a gunman, he jumped up and down in aggrieved way, it seems that the beating was not enough.

Song Jiang must not be asked to use Zhou Tong's incident to step on him and Hua Rong.

He has to figure out a way.

It's best to find an independent faction to stand up for him, to prove that Zhou Tong is a bastard and deserves to be beaten, and it has nothing to do with the dispute between the old and the new leaders.

Gao Ming couldn't help but put his eyes on Lu Zhishen. A few days ago, he made a relationship with Lu Zhishen through tattooing, and now the two have a good relationship.

If he could take this opportunity to let Lu Zhishen stand out for him and drag Lu Zhishen's influence to his side, then his influence in Liangshan would be strengthened a bit.

Now that he has become a small military division, he has gained a firm foothold, and it is time to start forming cliques.

-

Lu Zhi took a deep nap and took a nap, and danced his Zen stick in the courtyard. He couldn't help but feel a little hungry. He smacked his lips again, feeling that his mouth was dull, and thought about telling his little guy to go to the kitchen to make something to eat.

Suddenly, he smelled a scent that pierced his nostrils. Although it was accompanied by a bit of a pungent smell of oily smoke, the flaws were not concealed. After sniffing it, his stomach actually growled.

Lu Zhishen threw away his Zen stick and chased after the fragrance.

Soon, he saw a figure squatting under a low slope.

The smell came from him, and he strode over, "What are you eating, ask Sajia to have a look."

Lu Zhishen saw that this person was Sun Xiaowu. There was a small stove in front of him, with charcoal fire inside, and a row of meat skewers lying on the beams on the stove.

At this time, the charcoal fire grilled the meat skewers, sizzling oil from time to time, the aroma of the meat was completely squeezed out, like a hand ruthlessly grabbing Lu Zhishen's stomach.

Gao Ming pretended to be nonchalant and said casually: "The weather is fine, let's grill some mutton skewers. Huarong doesn't like the smell of the smell, so I'll come here to barbecue, you don't mind?"

Lu Zhi squatted down next to Gao Ming, and said bluntly: "Smell the fragrance of the earth, give a bunch to Sajia, and Sajia will give you money."

Gao Ming handed Lu Zhishen a string of grilled mutton skewers, "What are you talking about with me about money, you should try it first, don't be displeased."

Lu Zhishen directly chewed a bunch of meat from the beginning to the end, not to mention, it tasted really good.

I used to only know how to eat meat, but I didn't know that the small pieces of cut meat seem to be more delicious when grilled. The tender lamb is matched with the right seasonings sprinkled on it.

Lu Zhishen whetted his appetite, "Sajia has never eaten such delicious roast pork!"

On the surface, Gao Ming said calmly, "Then eat more." But in his heart, he thought, hum, it's worth it that I marinated the mutton with eggs and seasonings early in the morning, it's not delicious.

Lu Zhishen obediently waited aside, staring at the meat skewers, swallowing the saliva from his mouth from time to time.

Lu Zhishen ate as many skewers as Gao Ming grilled, his stomach was like a bottomless pit.

"By the way, I also brought wine, do you want some?" Gao Ming pointed to a jug of wine chilled with cold water in the bucket next to him.

Lu Zhishen was eating so much that his mouth was a little greasy. He took out the cold wine jar, and immediately raised his neck and gurgled twice. He felt an indescribable joy all over his body, "It's so good! It's so good!"

But at this moment, he felt that while chewing delicious skewers and drinking cold and refreshing wine, happiness in the world is as simple as that.

Lu Zhishen was in a good mood. He took off his upper body clothes, revealing his floral embroidery. He sat on the soft grass slope, licked the skewers, and looked at Gao Ming happily, but it was obvious that the other party was not very happy.

"What's the matter with you, is it that the food at Sajia has made you feel bad?" Gao Ming's low and depressed mood was so obvious that even Lu Zhi found it after a deep scan, "The Sajia did take some more, come here, I'll give you back a few skewers .”

Lu Zhishen handed out a bunch of barbecue meat, but he didn't see the other party picking it up, so he raised his eyes to see what happened, and seeing Sun Xiaowu's sad expression, he asked, "What's the matter with you? Is it smoky?"

"No, I just think that I may not be suitable for Liangshan. I came out to barbecue because I felt aggrieved staying in the house. I came out to relax after thinking about it, and I happened to meet you."

Lu Zhishen felt that a righteous brother like Sun Xiaowu shouldn't have troubles, "Why are you aggrieved, just tell the Sajia! The Sajia will help you judge!"

Gao Ming was overjoyed, this was what he was waiting for.

As the saying goes, there is nothing that can't be solved by a meal.

Now that Lu Zhishen has eaten his skewers, it is reasonable for him to help him.
