Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Even in Qingfengzhai, Huarong served him attentively, letting him eat and have fun.Although something happened to him in Qingfeng Village and he was caught by the government, but he had many friends in the rivers and lakes, and the brothers in Qingfeng Mountain immediately rescued him.How happy it is to kill and set fire on Qingfeng Mountain!

If the old man hadn't sent someone to send a letter to earn me back, I'm afraid that I have already broken Qingfengzhai together with Huarong and the others, and tortured Mrs. Liu Gao to death, right?

Hey, my father earned me back, but caused me to suffer so much.I don't know which dangerous military state I will be sent to?

Song Jiang lived in the cell like years, and finally waited until the [-]-day limit was over, and he was married by Yuncheng County and went to Jeju Prefecture to hear the verdict.

The governor of Jeju saw the reasons for the application, and the forgiveness of the previous forgiveness had been reduced, so he stabbed Song Jiang's spine twenty times and stabbed him in Jiangzhou's prison city.

Song Jiang used to be the governor of Yuncheng County, and had many contacts with Shangguan, so some officials in Jeju also recognized Song Jiang.What's more, he also has money and silk to use, and he is called a broken stick stabbing partner, and he has no certificate from the suffering master, so everyone maintains it.It's not very serious if you hit twenty sticks.

After the stick was broken, Song Jiang was put on a shackle by the court, and a letter was sent to escort him to Jiangzhou with two guards.

At present, the two officials took the official documents and escorted Song Jiang to the front of the state government.Song Jiang's father Song Taigong and his brother Song Qing were waiting there.

Song Taigong put wine in charge of the two princes and gave some silver taels.He also taught Song Jiang to change his clothes, tie them in his bag, and wear hemp shoes.

Song Taigong called Song Jiang to a secluded place, and said: "I know Jiangzhou is a good place, a land of fish and rice, and I specially sent money to buy generals there. You can be patient. I will send Shiro to visit you. It will be convenient if you make money. People often send it. You are passing by Liangshan now. If they come down the mountain to rob you and join them, you must not follow him and teach people to call you disloyal and unfilial. Keep this verse in mind. My child, the road is slow Go. See you in heaven, come back early, father and son reunion, brother reunion!"

Song Taigong bribed the government to dispatch Song Jiang to the prosperous and rich Jiangzhou, and would often send money to Song Jiang for him to spend.This is still serving a sentence, it is simply letting Song Jiang go to the south to play and relax!

Song Jiang heard this, one is that he thinks the future is not bad, and the other is that his reputation as "Xiaoyi Black Saburo" is resounding, so he has to listen to his father's words at this time, so as not to smash his own brand name.Therefore, he changed his mind and temporarily suppressed his heart of going up the mountain and falling into the grass.

After the father and son said some more words, Song Jianglei bid farewell to his father.Brother Song Qing saw Song Jiang and the two gentlemen disappear in the distance.

Just as Song Taigong was worried, when Song Jiang and the two princes passed by Liangshanbo, they were forcibly greeted up the mountain by Wu Yong and Liu Tang, the leaders of the Liangshan bandits who got the news.

Song Jiang didn't see Hua Rong and others coming to greet him, so he was puzzled. On the way up the mountain, he asked Wu Yong, the military adviser, if a group of robbers from Qingzhou came up the mountain to join them recently?

Wu Yong informed Song Jiang that no robbers had come to join the gang, which made Song Jiang very puzzled.Brother Huarong, they will definitely not betray me, Song Jiang, I asked them to vote in Liangshan, why didn't any of them come?

Song Jiang was puzzled, and went to Liangshan with his thoughts.At this time, knowing that there is no confidant brother of his own on the mountain, Song Jiang is even more unwilling to become a bandit in Liangshan.

Wu Yong sent someone to carry Song Jiang up the mountain in a sedan chair, and came to the Juyi Hall to meet Chao Gai and other bandit leaders.

Chao Gai stepped forward and thanked Song Jiang: "Since Yuncheng saved his life, the brothers have been here without thinking of great kindness. It's a pity that there is no way to repay it!"

Chapter 2 Arriving in Jiangzhou City

Song Jiang listened to what Chao Gai said, and wanted to leave him to fall grass on the mountain in order to repay his kindness.

At this time, there is no one of his own confidantes on Liangshan, and Song Jiang himself has no special skills. How can he sit in the top position and hold real power among these fierce robbers only by relying on his past kindness?

Song Jiang made up his mind that he must go down the mountain, and he couldn't follow Chao Gai to be a younger brother on Liangshan.

So, Song Jiang replied to Chao Gai: "Xiao Ke killed Yan Poxi and fled in the rivers and lakes for a year and a half since we left. I wanted to go up the mountain to visit my brother, but when I met Kong Liang, I sent a letter from my family, saying that my father passed away. I don't want to, but my father is afraid that Song Jiang has joined the gang with all the heroes, so he wrote a book to call me home. Although there will be a lawsuit tomorrow, many people will look at it, and I have not been seriously injured. It is also a good thing to be married to Jiangzhou. Shimeng Calling, I dare not not come. Now that I have seen Zunyan, but I have a deadline, I dare not stay for a long time, so I just leave."

Seeing that Song Jiang was about to leave, Chao Gai said, "I'm so busy! Please sit down less."

Song Jiang had to sit in the middle of Juyi Hall with Chao Gai.Song Jiang asked the two gentlemen to sit only behind the top chairs and never leave him.

Song Jiang himself was full of bad water, and when he was in Qingzhou, he used poisonous tricks to force Qin Ming into desperation, so he had to go to Qingfeng Mountain to join the gang.At this time, he was afraid that Chao Gai and others would kill Mr. Fangsong, forcing him to vote for the country and return to his family, so he fell into the gang on this mountain.Therefore, he dared not let the two gentlemen leave his side.

Song Jiang's worry was not unreasonable. Among the robbers, Wu Yong was planning a poisonous plan to kill the gentleman in his heart.Seeing that Song Jiang was so wary at this moment, Wu Yong knew that he had met an opponent who was good at intrigue, so he had to give up.

Chao Gai asked many leaders to pay homage to Song Jiang, and sat down in two rows, while the little leaders poured wine.

First, Chao Gai took the lamp; later, military advisers Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng rose to Bai Sheng to take the lamp down.

After drinking for a few rounds, Song Jiang got up and thanked each other: "This shows how much brothers love each other! Song Jiang is a criminal prisoner, he dare not stop for a long time, so I will leave."

Chao Gai said: "Brother, is it so weird? Although I don't want to spoil the two gentlemen, I gave them more gold and silver and sent them back. I only said that I was robbed in Liangshanpo, but I will not punish him."

Song Jiang insisted on leaving, but Chao Gai was still trying to persuade him to stay.

Wu Yong knew that Song Jiang had no intention of staying, and he no longer helped Chao Gai to keep Song Jiang.He and the leaders only persuaded Song Jiang to rest on the mountain for one night before leaving.

Song Jiang couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the bandit leaders, so he had to stay overnight on the mountain.He still brought the two gentlemen with him to ensure their safety.

Stayed overnight that night, and got up early the next day, Song Jiang was determined to do it.

Wu Yong said to Song Jiang: "Brother, listen to this report: Wu Yong has a dear acquaintance. He saw that he was a jailer in the two courts in Jiangzhou. He can travel [-] miles a day, and everyone calls him the God of Heaven. Teach the brothers to know."

Song Jiang thanked Wu Yong and accepted Wu Yong's letter to Dai Zong.

When Chao Gai and others were still thinking about how to persuade Song Jiang to stay last night, the old and cunning Wu Yong was already writing to Dai Zong, wanting to give Song Jiang a favor.

But people like Lin Chong who had no friendship with Song Jiang quietly stood aside and watched coldly.

Chao Gai and other leaders couldn't keep Song Jiang, so they had to arrange a banquet to see him off.After eating and seeing off the wine, Chao Gai took out a plate of gold and silver and gave it to Song Jiang; he also gave 20 taels of silver to the two gentlemen; Song Jiang picked up the bag and sent them all down the mountain.

Song Jiang went down to Liangshan, and Zihe Liangfang sent the public to take the road and go to Jiangzhou.

……

Before Song Jiang was sentenced to be assigned to Jiangzhou and left Jeju, Ximenqing had already left Luan Tingyu and Hu Sanniang in charge of Yanggu County and Ximenbao. Dozens of disciples selected by Jiang Menshen and dozens of capable subordinates of Coach Hong rushed to Jiangzhou at full speed.

Ximenqing's idea is that when he arrives in Jiangzhou, he must first kill Li Kui, Song Jiang's future No. [-] hero, "Black Whirlwind", and then make a good job of cheating Song Jiang, Jiangzhou Three Heroes and others.

Ximen Qing led the people all the way to the south for half a month, crossed the Honghu Lake, crossed the Thunder Pond, and entered Jiangzhou's management. Jiangzhou City could already be seen across the Xunyang River.

Ximenqing stopped on the north bank of the river, and asked Hong Jiaotou to lead people down the river first, so that the Wuwei Army who went downstream could familiarize themselves with the terrain and prepare for future battles.

After Hongjiao led the people to the east, Ximenqing himself brought Jiao Ting, Jiang Zhong, Shi Yong, Lu Xiaoyi and Jiang Zhong's apprentices across the Xunyang River to the city of Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou is the Jiujiang of the later generations. It was called Chaisang and Xunyang in ancient times. It is a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River with a history of more than 1000 years.

Jiangzhou is bordered by the Dajiang River in the north, Lushan Mountain in the south, Poyang Lake in the southeast, and not far from the east of the city is the mouth of the lake where Poyang Lake and Xunyang River meet.During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhou Yu, the governor of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, practiced the water army here, and defeated the army commanded by Cao Cao in the subsequent Battle of Chibi.

When Ximenqing and others came to the city of Jiangzhou, they saw that the soil under the city of Jiangzhou was as red as ocher, which was quite different from other places.It is said that Su Zhe, Su Dongpo's younger brother, wrote a poem "From Huangzhou to Jiangzhou" because of the color of the land in Jiangzhou City.The poem reads:

Floating on a leaf, I return to the city of Pan, and Ling Zuo Fengtao travels day and night.

Pour the wine alone and fall asleep, but return home and gradually feel lighter.

When the bank returns to Fankou, it can be vaguely seen. At sunrise, Lushan Mountain is green and green.

The house is moored under the Yugong Tower, and the people on the boat point to the shore like a boat.

This poem also mentions Lushan Mountain, a famous scenic spot in Jiangzhou, and Yugong Tower, a scenic spot and historical site by the river.It is said that the Yugong Tower was built by Yu Liang, the general who conquered the west in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who also led the governors of Jiang, Jing, and Henan, and supervised the military forces of the seven states when he guarded Jiangzhou.

The place where Ximenqing and others crossed the river and moored their boats was near the Yugong Tower.Therefore, after Ximenqing and his brothers disembarked, they did not directly enter Jiangzhou, but boarded the Yugong Tower to enjoy the scenery of Jiangzhou.

When I went up to the building, I saw that the Yugong Tower was facing the twin sword peaks of Lushan Mountain in the south, facing the Dajiang River in the north, with tigers dominating the dragon's plate, and the weather is majestic.

Ximenqing and the others went downstairs after visiting the Yugong Tower, and led his men straight into Jiangzhou City.

After staying in the city, Ximenqing asked Shi Yong and Lu Xiaoyi to inquire about the news in the city.Ximen Qing asked them to go outside the city to find Xiao Zhangyi's gambling room, and used a pseudonym to gamble a few times there, and get acquainted with the people in those gambling rooms first.Then let them secretly investigate Li Kui, a prisoner in the prison city of Jiangzhou, to find out where he likes to go on weekdays.
