The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty

After Gao Ming finished speaking, he wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes. Song Jiang was able to cry and put on a show. Facts have proved that this is what heroes do, and of course he can do it too.

In a few words, the act of competing for the second spot was said to be a credit for the brothers.

So high-sounding, so shameless.

After hearing Gao Ming's words, Hua Rong couldn't help laughing, and managed to suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Qin Ming and Sun Li couldn't close their mouths in surprise, no wonder the Taiwei loved Ya Nei so much, they just opened their mouths, and the dead could be said to be alive.

Shi Jin and Yang Zhi were praised by the public, and they felt very honored. They felt that Junshi Sun really treated them well, and they were willing to be criticized in order to confirm their military exploits.

Lu Zhishen said bluntly: "This is true, face is not as important as brothers."

Even Wu Song nodded, and the others secretly praised Sun Xiaowu.

Gao Ming's words were impeccable. Dai Zong, Zhang Heng and others wanted to say something sarcastic, but Sun Xiaowu had run out of words. At this moment, whatever they said was in vain.

The more you scold Sun Xiaowu, the more it seems that he is a person who cares about his brothers and does not care about personal gain or loss.

Song Jiang took a deep breath. He found that since Sun Xiaowu made his debut, he almost blocked his way. At first, he only thought that he could talk and win people's hearts, and he was better than a reckless man like Chao Gai. Unexpectedly, this Sun Xiaowu Five is stronger than him.

Comparing people to others, they were so angry that Song Jiang felt extremely uncomfortable because he couldn't get up or down.

Chao Gai is no better than Song Jiang, and Sun Xiaowu's words took up all his face, and he forced a smile, "How can I blame you for what you said, with a leader like you, it is Liang Shan What a blessing!",

Damn, I really want to drag Sun Xiaowu out and chop him up!

So Gao Ming took advantage of Chao Gai's words and spoke again, "The village master has given you the reward, I just did what a leader should do, when the army in the court fights with each other, when the superior officers steal the military merits of the subordinates If it happened, it would chill the hearts of the soldiers. But our Liangshan must not do this, I want to announce loudly that the credit for going down the mountain to borrow food is due to several leaders such as Shi Jin, Yang Zhi, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song.”

It was originally to discuss the handling of Hu Cheng and Hu Sanniang, but in a blink of an eye, Sun Xiaowu used the venue to hold a commendation meeting.

Chao Gai and Song Jiang figured it out, and they couldn't give this fellow a chance to speak. Once he was asked to speak, he might be taken to a ditch.

But it was too late now, and everyone looked at the few people Sun Xiaowu commended, which made them very honorable.

Lu Zhi touched his bald head deeply, a little embarrassed, "Okay, okay, don't even look at Sajia!"

Wu Song has seen the warmth and coldness of human relationships, especially being framed by Zhang Dujian, and he understands the intrigues in the court better, and Sun Xiaowu's words are poking into his heart.

Seeing this, Hua Rong thought how could it be possible to ask Gao Ming to praise others, and others have to praise him, so he said: "The military commander's words are wrong. Although you did not capture an enemy general with your own hands, you led everyone out of Zhujiazhuang. You are the one who is responsible for Panshan Road, so make a decisive decision not to kill Hu Cheng and Hu Sanniang, and you are the one who brought them to Liangshan, and you are the one who is not afraid of serial horses to save another group of borrowers."

After Hua Rong finished speaking, Qin Ming, Sun Li, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao all joined the battle.

It was a fact that Sun Xiaowu's men saved Song Jiang's troops, but everyone knew it. They didn't expect Hua Rong to shake him off in front of everyone. Song Jiang lost face and became dizzy with anger.

Hua Rong's words stirred up waves for a while, and everyone thought to themselves, indeed, regardless of whether it was kidnapping hostages or something, Sun Xiaowu did borrow food, and even saved Song Jiang's troops, so he had the upper hand no matter what.

"That's right, the military division is really resourceful."

Shi Jin even said: "The military division really saw through Baiyangshu's mechanism at a glance. No one except him really discovered it. Even Hu Cheng said he didn't know." Hu Cheng.

As a hostage, what else could Hu Cheng do, he could only nod his head and admit that it was true.

So once again set off a wave of mutual praise.

Chao Gai couldn't take it anymore, this Juyi Hall is not for you to hold a bragging meeting, he said coldly: "Okay, don't talk anymore, although it seems that Sun Xiaowu won now, but after all, Qian Liang hasn't gone up the mountain yet. Don't be impatient, everyone, wait for the Hu family to send money and food, and it will not be too late for Sun Xiaowu to take the second place."

The money and food will definitely be sent up, unless Taigong Hu is willing to see his only son's head decapitated.

It was a certainty that Sun Xiaowu would take the second position.

After the announcement in Chao Gai, everyone dispersed.

Sun Xiaowu even let out the words, "As soon as the Hu family's money and food go up the mountain, we will reward the brothers and give rewards to the leaders who have made merit."

It's true how happy others are when they suffer.

-

Hu Sanniang and the housekeeper of the Hu family went down to Liangshan, returned to Hujiazhuang Xingye, and told Liangshan's request, but Grandpa Hu heaved a sigh of relief, after all, it wasn't a problem that could be solved with money.

He immediately asked his servants to collect the grain and planned to send it to Liangshan.

Just when the Hu family was packing food, cattle and sheep day and night, the Zhu family sent Zhu Long over.

As soon as Zhulong saw Hu Taigong, he announced: "Our owner does not want you to send grain to Liangshan. You know, if you send grain up, it will not make them worry about food and clothing, and will endanger the village even more."

Hu Taigong was so angry that his liver ached, "I spent my own money to save my son, so what does it have to do with you? Thanks to your family, Zhu Biao also has a marriage contract with Sanniang, the two are considered in-laws, and you can stand by and watch."

Zhu Long just repeated in a contemptuous tone: "Old Grandpa, don't make a big mistake by sending money and food to Liangshan, and raising tigers."

Hu Taigong was annoyed: "Then how about you go and save my son?" Seeing that Zhu Long didn't answer, he became even more angry, "I am your elder after all, and you haven't expressed awe since you came in and talked to me. I do What, it's not your turn to teach me a lesson."

Zhu Long snorted through his nose, "Do you want to discuss things or pick reasons? Just talk about things. If you want to pick reasons, Li Ying from Lijiazhuang came to our Zhujiazhuang to make trouble, and was shot by my brother with an arrow. , is still lying on the bed, do you want to do that too?"

At this moment, there was a bang, and Hu Sanniang, who was listening inside the house, walked in with her eyebrows raised, "Zhu Long, this is Hu's Village, you'd better not be presumptuous."

Zhu Long chuckled, "I don't care about women's generation. Fortunately, Liangshan released you back. If you stay on the mountain for a long time, I really don't feel at ease calling you my sister-in-law."

What does this sentence imply, it is full of vicious suspicions, and Hu Sanniang's lips trembled with anger, "Say it again? Zhu Long, do you dare to go outside and try some tricks with me?"

Hu Taigong didn't want his daughter to have any more accidents, so he hurriedly stopped him, "Forget it, that's all for it!" He ordered Zhu Long to drive away, "Get out!"

Zhu Long cast a contemptuous look at the father and daughter, "The previous marriage contract, we Zhu family should think about it carefully."

Taigong Hu said angrily: "Our Hu family has to think about it. When the Liangshan crisis is over, I will go to your father and talk about it." Forget it, the life-and-death alliance that was promised, but the daughter and son were arrested, and the Zhu family did not do anything at all .

Zhu Long was not afraid at all, his family didn't want to marry Hu Sanniang at first, but wanted a well-educated lady as his wife.

"Do it for yourself, don't regret it!"

After Zhu Long left, the Hu family prepared the amount of money and food that Liangshan wanted overnight, and sent people to Liangshan Po.

The people from Liangshan rowed to the beach, counted the number, and several boats left with money and food. When only the last boat was left, they called Hu Cheng out of the cabin and sent him ashore, and the boat rowed in. The reeds are gone.

When the housekeeper of the Hu family saw the young master, he didn't care to say anything more, so he hurriedly told him to get on the horse, and all the people went back to Hu's village.

But he didn't want to walk halfway, and saw his younger sister and father riding horses, with some wounds on their bodies, and a few farmers from the family riding towards him.

When the two groups met, Hu Cheng exclaimed, "What the hell is going on?"

Hu Taigong cried: "In the early morning of a sunny day, people from Hu's family village and the government suddenly rushed into our village, saying that they would lock us into a prison, saying that our Hu's family village was colluding with Liangshan bandits, and you have already fallen in Liangshan. Liang Shan. Your sister and I finally rushed out. Don’t talk nonsense, run quickly, there are still pursuers behind. Zhujiazhuang is no different from a beast, our family is in trouble, just stand by and watch, and join forces with the government to annex us.”

Hu Cheng quickly turned his horse's head and ran with his sister's father. They had no other place to go, so they gritted their teeth and went to Liangshan Po, yelling to go up the mountain.

Do they hate Liangshan?hatred!

But they hated Zhujiazhuang even more. If they had to choose between Zhujiazhuang and Liangshan, they would rather choose Liangshan.

Moreover, they have been hunted down by the government, and they have nowhere to go but Liangshan.

Zhujiazhuang fell into trouble and destroyed their manor. It is not a gentleman to take revenge.

-

Gao Ming was counting the grain and fat sheep sent by Hu's family village, when he heard a report from a servant: "Hu Taigong, Hu Cheng, and Hu Sanniang said that they were hunted down by the government and wanted to go to Shangliang Mountain."

Didn't Hu Cheng let go yesterday? Why did he come back again?

Gao Ming wondered, but since he wants to go up the mountain, he should go up.

As soon as he entered the Juyi hall, he heard Grandpa Hu scolding Zhu's family, "They are not individuals. They already knew that they wanted to annex our Hu's family village, but they didn't want to do it at this juncture! They have the government as their backer, and they will kill us! "

Gao Ming waved his hands at Hu Cheng, who looked dejected, and Sanniang, who was full of exhaustion, "We meet again."

Hu Cheng and Hu Sanniang looked like they wanted to die.

Gao Ming went straight to the front and sat on the chair next to Chao Gai.

At this time Song Jiang also came in, saw Sun Xiaowu sitting in the second chair next to the village owner, and finally resisted the urge to go up, and stood aside with the leaders.

Gao Ming listened to Mr. Hu's complaints, and couldn't help but wonder, what did Zhujiazhuang and Cheng Wanli do, and how did they drive Hu's family village into trouble?

Could this be Cheng Wanli's own little Jiujiu, who asked the officers and soldiers to eradicate Liangshan, let Zhu, Hu, and Li Sanzhuang kill each other, and eliminate local tyrants?

Otherwise, the operation of Zhujiazhuang and the government cannot be explained.

Except for the money and food that Hujiazhuang gave to Liangshan and the part they brought out, the farmers who could not take away the good land were basically swallowed up by Zhujiazhuang.

For the time being, Zhujiazhuang is the biggest winner.

Sure enough, the three of them could not escape the fate of fighting in the same room.

Hu Taigong was too excited to scold, and the bumpy road made him dizzy, so Gao Ming asked Xiao Luo to take the three of them down to rest.

After they left, the leaders began to discuss whether these three people really defected to Liangshan or planned to act as a spy. If they really voted, they would stay, and if they had the idea of ​​acting as a spy, they would end them.

Hu Chenggong is like a husband, Hu Sanniang is a female streamer, and Hu Taigong is a poor man. If the three of them are killed, the silver they brought to Liangshan will be directly put into the Liangshan warehouse, which will save time and effort.

Both Chao Gai and Song Jiang looked solemn, to the effect that, "The news that we went down the mountain to borrow food has leaked out, I'm afraid that this Hu family is not really a voter, but intends to make trouble in Liangshan and be the internal support of Zhujiazhuang."

Gao Ming thinks that the Hu family came to Liangshan because of desperation, but now he can't speak to protect the three of them without any real evidence.

Besides, he wanted to get in touch with Cheng Wanli and find out what he was up to.

Gao Ming said leisurely, "It's not difficult, you don't know, the coach of Zhujiazhuang is the one who wields an iron rod that day against Hua Rong, named Luan Tingyu, and is Sun Li's fellow apprentice. He still doesn't know that Sun Li has gone to Liangshan, so he thought he was still in Dengzhou, so why don't he ask Sun Li to go to Zhujiazhuang to find out what the intentions of Zhujiazhuang and the court are, isn't it clear at a glance."

Chao Gai and Song Jiang were stunned. It turns out that Sun Li and Zhujiazhuang still have such a relationship?

Sun Li was startled, he and Luan Tingyu were in the same school, but he didn't tell anyone else, the Yamen even knew about this, it was really unfathomable.

Hu Sanniang was born with a natural and beautiful begonia flower, and there are quite a few heroes who are not close to women, but some of them are humane.

Lu Zhi said in a deep voice: "It's too reckless to act only when you suspect. Junjun Sun is right. It's safer to ask Sun Li to go down to investigate and give Zhunxin."

If there is no way, it's fine, but now there is a way to investigate, but it is not used, and it is unreasonable to just kill the Hu family directly.

Chao Gai thought to himself, then Sun Li is one of Sun Xiaowu's echoes, so it's good to ask him to go down for a while, firstly, there will be fewer people to help Sun Xiaowu, and secondly, Sun Li might turn back into Zhujiazhuang.

He said: "Well, if Sun Lizhen knows Luan Tingyu, the coach of Zhujiazhuang, let him go."

Song Jiang wanted to say something, but Sun Li didn't take him seriously anymore, and took orders directly, "Yes, I'll go down the mountain now."

After the meeting in the Juyi hall, Song Jiang returned to his residence, so angry that he didn't even eat dinner. The people around him saw it and were anxious for him, racking their brains to think how to win the game.

At this time, Dai Zong walked in beamingly, "Brother, something good has happened!"

What Song Jiang likes to hear most now is good things, "Quickly tell me."

Dai Zong drew out a person sideways, it was Tang Long, the leopard. Tang Long was in charge of building weapons on the mountain. A few days ago, he had an argument with Tao Zongwang and others about the uneven distribution of money and food. He didn't know that Song Jiang was involved. If he knew won't go either.

In the past two days, he heard that Song Jiang met Hu Yanzhuo's serial horse when he went down the mountain, and he had a plan in mind, so he came to claim credit, "Actually, the serial horse is not difficult to break, I can make a hook and sickle gun, and break the serial horse's legs..."

Before he finished speaking, Song Jiang's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked him to sit down. Everyone knows that the chain horse is powerful. If he can break the chain horse, Song Jiang's face and status will come back, and he can counter Sun Xiaowu one head.

"Great, let's build it quickly!"

"In fact, it is easy to make weapons, but it is difficult to use them. Although I can make them, I can't use them well. But don't worry, I know a person named Xu Ning, the instructor of the 80 Imperial Guards in Tokyo. He called out his cousin, and invited him to go up the mountain to teach me, and he would not worry about not being broken in a row."

"Okay, that's great." Song Jiang applauded repeatedly. Since he thought of it, he did it. Time waited for no one. He immediately asked Tang Long, "Is there any way to make him go up the mountain? Does he have an old man, wife or children?"

"His parents are gone, his wife is married, and he gave birth to a son the year before last."

"That's not difficult." Song Jiang said to Dai Zong, "Hurry up, go there, hold his son and leave, wait for Xu Ning to chase after him, keep a certain distance from him, wait until you leave home, little boy Just take his wife up to the mountain, and don't worry if he doesn't submit."

After telling Dai Zong how to make Xu Ning go up the mountain, Song Jiang repeatedly praised Tang Long for his job, full of praise.

Then he told Dai Zong and Tang Long to keep it a secret and never let others know about it, because this was their hope of turning things around.

-

Gao Ming found that Song Jiang's side had stopped again, but he didn't know whether this stop was really demoralizing, or if it was just a suffocation.

However, he is not afraid. Soldiers come to block him, and water comes to cover him.

When Sun Li went down the mountain, Gao Ming gave him a handwritten letter, which was sent to his father Gao Taiwei.

The cooperation between Zhujiazhuang and Hu Yanzhuo did not wipe out the Liangshan troops. His father estimated that [-]% of them would faint from crying, and maybe they wanted to send more troops.

Gao Ming has seen Liang Shan's strength. He has been thinking about one thing for the past few days...

It's still safe and cost-effective to recruit security.

"Recruitment?" Hua Rong was surprised at first, and after a little thought, he understood Gao Ming's thoughts, "You think the imperial court can't wipe out Liangshan by force for a while, why not recruit them?"

"You have also seen that they are not easy to destroy, and waste people's money. If you can recruit them, let's recruit them."

Hua Rong shook his head slowly, "Would the imperial court be willing to recruit peace if you want to? Liangshan does have some strength, but they haven't caused any trouble now, how can you tell the emperor that they have something worth recruiting?"

Gao Ming was also worried. In the original book, although he was recruited, it was after they broke up a series of cities such as Gaotang Prefecture, Qingzhou, and Daming Mansion. Can the imperial court take a fancy to them now?

Hua Rong continued: "And is Liangshan willing? Look at Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Shi Jin, who seems willing to recruit?" When Shi Jin was mentioned, he couldn't help but hum: "Especially Shi Jin, I think he enjoys being a robber very much." day."

Gao Ming was noncommittal.

Hua Rong said again: "Let's contact the Taiwei. When we go down the mountain to borrow food next time, prepare more troops to ambush Liangshan and catch them all. This time the Taiwei may still underestimate the enemy."

"My father may really only treat them as ordinary grassroots bandits, thinking that sending Hu Yanzhuo's serial horses and Zhujiazhuang's help is enough, but who knows that it was a tie. Our 'surrender' did not succeed."

"Then wait for the next opportunity, we can live a decent life on Liangshan."

Gao Ming didn't want to wait any longer, he wanted to be the head of the village, he changed his will into Liang Shan's will, and surrendered to Zhaoan.

However, just like Song Jiang couldn't take the top spot when Chao Gai was alive, his "Sun Xiaowu" had to wait for Chao Gai to die if he wanted to get his hands on the top spot, but Chao Gai was strong, so how could he die suddenly.

Should Chao Gai lead his troops to attack Zengtou City and let Shi Wengong shoot him to death like the original plot?

Chao Gai was shot to death by an arrow engraved with Shi Wengong's name.

In fact, the whole process is very strange. Some people have always suspected that it was Song Jiang's work, and the executor was Hua Rong.

Could it be that he really wants Hua Rong to shoot an arrow in the back and kill Chao Gai this time?

But when he thought about it, it didn't seem right. Chao Gai was shot in the eye, but he didn't hurt his vitals. It was the poison on the arrow that killed him.

Chao Gai was poisoned to death.

It seems that the murderer's arrow skills are not very good. If it was Hua Rong, he should be able to kill him with one arrow without poisoning him.

The act of poisoning is more like an insurance measure for poor archery.

It's not like Shi Wengong either. Shi Wengong was so mentally retarded that he would engrave his name on the back arrow.

So who shot Chao Gai?

And if Chao Gai is going to die, it is best to die at the hands of "outsiders". If he dies in the cottage, he will be the first to be suspected.

How to become the village master perfectly, he had to plan well.

Gao Ming was lost in thought, but Hua Rong didn't see him talking, so he moved closer to him and snapped his fingers in front of him, which made Gao Ming look up.

He looked at Huarong and thought to himself, but no matter what, he has trusted friends to rely on, so he smiled at him unconsciously.

Hua Rong was taken aback, but couldn't help but said with a smile: "Why are you smiling?"

At this time, the minion came to report that Qin Touling asked Hua Touling to come over. Huarong remembered what Qin Ming said before, and he wanted to tell him something, so he said to Gao Ming: "I will go there. I don't know if Qin Ming wants to come with me." Say, it's been several days." After leaving the door, he went straight to Qin Ming's house.

He is the only one in Qin Ming's family, so he is very suitable for talking about problems.

Huarong didn't see anyone else, so he asked, "Where's Madam Ling?"

"I went to see Hu Sanniang with Mrs. Sun Li and Xiao Rang's family." Qin Ming said, "This is also the order of the yamen. There are not many women in this village. They should be able to chat. Let's not talk about them. Sit down quickly, I have something to tell you."

Hua Rong sat on the armchair and drank tea with Qin Ming across the table.

Seeing that Qin Ming hesitated to speak frequently, he said, "Since you asked me to come, just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush, just say what you want, as long as I, Huarong, can help, I will definitely help you." Will not refuse."

He thought Qin Ming needed his help, so it was hard to tell.

Little did he know, Qin Ming didn't want his help at all, but to help him.

"You saved my family. I, Qin Ming, will never forget your kindness and virtue!" Qin Ming started with this.

Hua Rong wondered, "Why are you talking about this again?"

"So, since you are my benefactor of Qin Ming, I can't watch you die!" Qin Ming said more and more seriously.

Hua Rong was confused, "How did I die?"

Qin Ming clenched his fists, and finally said with difficulty, "You can't keep entangled with Gao Yanei any longer."

Huh——finally said it out, these days he was suffocated to death.

"What?" Huarong only felt that the wording "entanglement" was very inappropriate, but thought that Qin Ming's language skills were not good enough and he used the wrong word, "We have known each other since we were in the Imperial College, and we have encountered various difficulties along the way. overcame……"

Before Hua Rong could finish speaking, Qin Ming said with a broken heart: "But you will never be able to overcome the test of the Taiwei!"

Hua Rong couldn't understand even more, "The Taiwei told me to get along well with Ya Nei..."

"Don't lie to me. The Taiwei asked you to get along with Yanei because he thought you were friends. If he knew about your relationship, he would definitely send you to a remote evil state!"

Hua Rong finally found something strange about Qin Ming's words, "What do you think we are related to each other?"

"Of course they are fake brothers and real couples!"

"Nonsense!" Hua Rong jumped up against the desk, shaking the teacup on the table, spilling tea all over the table, glaring at Qin Ming, "What nonsense are you talking about?! Gao Ming and I are upright! Why are you slandering us? !"

Qin Ming only felt that Huarong was a stubborn duck, "I'm all for your own good. I don't know which one of you will take the initiative first, but once he returns to Tokyo, he will still live his life in the yamen. It's good for you to let go when the time comes. If you don't let go, how can the Taiwei spare you? You are kind to me, Qin Ming, how can I watch you die?"

Hua Rong was so angry, "Did you break your brain when you hit Zhujiazhuang?"

Qin Ming firmly believed that his eyes were as bright as a torch, and the degree of care he noticed for Gao Ming was absolutely abnormal, and his temper also came, not to be outdone, "Do you dare to say that you don't like him and don't have him in your heart?"

Hua Rong was stunned for a moment, but felt that this sentence was like a heavy hammer, smashing into his heart so hard that he couldn't avoid it.

Does he like Gao Ming?Which kind do you like?
