The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty

The arrival of Gao Ming and Hua Rong made Dong Ping very uneasy. If he had arranged an eyeliner around Miss Cheng or Cheng Wanli, he would report frequently in the past few days. Ask Snow a question.

Wenxue wants to be a matchmaker, not only marrying the young lady, but also giving herself to Dong Ping. In the future, even if Dong Ping has three wives and four concubines, she, the top maid, will have a good life because of her contribution to Dong Ping.

There are loyal servants, and there are such servants who betray their masters and seek glory. In order to please Dong Ping, they push their masters into the pit of fire.

Later, Shi Qian went out again, and when he came back, he brought back another news: Wenxue and Dong Ping met secretly.

Dong Ping already knew that when Cheng Wanli was going to offer incense, he sent someone pretending to be a robber to rob Miss Cheng, and let the hero Huarong save the beauty.

Gao Ming said, "Then what did Dong Ping say?"

"I didn't say anything, it was all sweet talk to Wenxue, which made my skin crawl. But Wenxue kept fighting for Dong Ping, saying that the magistrate would rather do such a ridiculous thing than marry the young lady to an outsider. , it's too unfair. For the rest, the two didn't say anything, "

Seeing that Shi Qian's nose was red from the cold, Gao Ming made him drink a cup of hot tea before sending him away.

Wenxue trusts Dong Ping and regards him as his future trust, but Dong Ping obviously doesn't trust Wenxue, and he doesn't reveal his thoughts, but it doesn't matter, Gao Ming can guess what he wants to do.

Because Gao Ming said that the itinerary was tight, and he would leave for Qingzhou in the next two days, Cheng Wanli didn't dare to delay, so he started to make preparations the next day, and he was called to tell him to find a few unremarkable policemen to pretend to be robbers and robbers. , And then persuaded his daughter to go to incense and pray.

Unexpectedly, both things went very smoothly. Cheng Wanli took a deep breath, and everything was ready, just waiting for Huarong to save the beauty.

In the early morning of the third day, the magistrate's yamen prepared carriages and horses, and asked the young lady to go out in the carriage, and the maids and women walked on both sides of the carriage.

It was a cloudy day with no sun, and the wind was so chilly that it made people shiver.

Cheng Wanli and Gao Ming rode in another carriage, while Hua Rong rode alone and took ten armed government servants with him, and set off for Zixian Temple outside the city.

Cheng Wanli backed down a little. Even if this matter is done, let her daughter know that her father has done such a thing, and she will definitely resent herself.

Gao Ming, who was sitting across from him, yawned lazily, and squinted his head as if trying to catch up on sleep.

At this time, Cheng Wanli was so nervous that his heart was about to vomit, and the other party was still able to sleep?Cheng Wanli suddenly felt that he was the only old father who cared about his daughter in this world, and no one else could be trusted.

Seeing that he was about to reach the place where he ordered people to ambush, Cheng Wanli felt his hands and feet were cold, and his breathing was a little disturbed.

Gao Ming opened his misty eyes, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I won't go out of my way. Shandong is not peaceful recently, and there are many robbers. It is not impossible to come out and kidnap the magistrate's daughter. She won't doubt it."

Like Wang Ying and others, the hilltop is right next to Qingfengzhai, but even the wife of Liu Gao, the Wenzhi villager of Qingfengzhai, dared to hijack them, which shows their arrogance.

The robbers near Dongping Mansion, the bolder they are, the more they covet Cheng Yingying's beauty, and it is reasonable to kidnap the magistrate's daughter.

Cheng Wanli nodded, "Well, it makes sense, she won't doubt it."

At this time, Cheng Yingying, who was sitting in the carriage behind, raised her eyebrows, twisted her handkerchief, and gave a draft of how to reprimand this farce.

Just as she was thinking, she heard a scream from outside. When she looked around, she saw that the carriages in front of her had stopped.

A dozen or so masked robbers popped up out of nowhere, and the leader shouted, "I want to live on from now on, keep the road money!"

Cheng Yingying knew that the person her father had prepared was coming, so she put on the gauze hat on the side, smoothed the gauze hanging down, to better cover her face, and when she saw the right moment, she got out of the car to expose the farce.

At this time, his father Cheng Wanli poked his head out and scolded: "Where did the thief come from, do you know who we are?"

The gang of thieves said in a stiff voice: "I don't care who you are, you have to take the money anyway, otherwise we will do it ourselves!"

Seeing that their acting skills were so bad, Cheng Yingying thought that even if she hadn't tipped off the note yesterday, she would have been able to see that these were fakes, and she frowned even more.

However, Cheng Wanli felt that the acting was in place, poked his head out and said to Hua Rong: "Hurry up and get rid of these robbers!"

Unexpectedly, Hua Rong spread his hands and said apologetically, "I forgot to bring my weapon before going out."

Cheng Wanli was dumbfounded, and looked at the front and back of Hua Rong's saddle, and sure enough, there was nothing there, he was just an unarmed martial artist.

You didn't even bring out your weapons, but you are still a general, why don't you forget yourself at home!

But now is not the time to discuss this, Cheng Wanli immediately ordered the servants he brought, "Give your swords to Hua Tong!"

Hua Rong didn't refuse, got off the horse, took a simple knife in his hand, played with it, and walked towards the bandits.

These robbers were originally pretending to be policemen. They all heard that Hua Rong had a tie with Dong Ping a few days ago.

Besides, no one is sure whether Huarong knows that today is a show. If he is serious, his relatives will burn paper for them next year. Seeing Huarong walking towards them, he backed away in fright: "I will let you go today!" to run.

"Don't let it go! Take me away!"

Cheng Wanli heard his daughter's shout from the carriage behind him, leaned half of his body out of the window, and saw that his daughter was wearing a gauze hat, got out of the carriage, and was walking this way.

The robbers were at a loss, and the hostages took the initiative to ask for hijacking. How can this continue?Just ran away quickly.

Cheng Yingying walked forward awe-inspiringly, "I said kidnap me, let me exchange the safety of others!"

Cheng Wanli roared: "Yingying, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

Regardless of these things, Cheng Yingying said to the robbers, "I am willing to trade me for the safety of others. I will stay and let the others go!"

The robbers were stunned and looked at Cheng Wanli, "Then, shall we tie him up?"

My lord, what should I do?Why doesn't the lady follow the routine? !

Cheng Wanli scolded: "Tie a ghost!"

When the robbers were scolded, they changed their minds immediately, "Then, then they will not be tied up!"

Seeing them all like this, Cheng Yingying couldn't help but narrowed her eyes, turned to her father and said, "Why do they listen to you so much?"

Cheng Wanli knew that he was cheating, and his old face was flushed.

Suddenly, I heard the clattering of horseshoes, and a bay red horse suddenly sprang out from the path next to it. A masked man was riding on it. He grabbed the bundle and pulled it out a few feet in an instant, then he leaned over and scooped him up, grabbed him onto the horse, turned around and ran away.

The action was done in one go, and everyone was still immersed in the embarrassment of the fake show being exposed, and was caught off guard.

The robbers in disguise looked at each other, "Who is this? Our people?"

Cheng Wanli realized first that this posture was definitely not a show, but real. His daughter was taken away, and he shouted hoarsely: "Chasing—"

The group of them came out, except for Hua Rong, none of them were riding a horse, so they immediately chased the distant horse with their two legs.

"Father—help me—" Cheng Yingying's cry came from the horse's back: "This man is a real robber——"

Cheng Wanli cried, "Yingying—"

With tears in his eyes, Gao Ming took out a longbow and a quiver from under the seat of the carriage, opened the curtain of the carriage, and threw them to Hua Rong who was on the horse.

Hua Rong took the bow and arrow, drew the bow and set the arrow, and carefully aimed at the distant figure.

Cheng Wanli's heart ached, the robber rode his horse and ran a long distance, almost the size of a thumb, no matter how well he hit the shot, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

After Huarong took aim, he let go of the fingers holding the arrow, and the arrow that left the string shot towards the distant figure like a bolt of lightning.

Everyone wanted to see the arrow, but because the speed was too fast, they didn't see anything. After a while, they saw that the pace of the horse that the robber was riding in the distance gradually slowed down.

When someone ran closer, they saw that the distraught young lady had already rolled off the horse, with a lot of blood on her body.

She tried to stay calm, opened her mouth, and let out a stream of white gas in the cold winter, "He...he died..."

Everyone saw the man who was holding the young lady around, he raised his head at this moment, and an arrow pierced his throat.

The others held the horse and dragged the dead man off the horse. Immediately, the black cloth covering his face was torn off, revealing a pale and ferocious face.

"Dong Ping?!" Someone recognized it and exclaimed.

Cheng Wanli also ran to the front at this time, saw blood on her daughter, and said in a panic: "Where is the injury?"

"It's not my blood, it's Dong Ping's." Although Cheng Yingying was also afraid, she was calmer than his father.

Only then did Cheng Wanli notice that the man who died on the ground turned out to be Dong Ping. He froze on the spot, and after a while he realized that the corpse of Dong Ping, who was about to die when he went up, was kicked, "So it was you!"

Cheng Yingying suffered a lot of fright, no matter how calm she was, she became flustered, she was supported by the woman beside her, not daring to look at Dong Ping's body, and went back the same way.

Cheng Wanli kicked a few times but Dong Ping didn't respond. Knowing that he was utterly dead, he felt completely relieved, his whole body went limp, and he was supported by others. After walking a few steps, he saw Gao Ming and Hua Rong who were coming towards him.

Cheng Wanli was trembling with excitement, and said to Hua Rong: "Please accept the old man's worship!"

Hua Rong supported Cheng Wanli, "There is no need to do this."

Cheng Wanli said: "I didn't expect Dong Ping to pretend to be a real robber to rob Yingying." Then he reacted, "How did Dong Ping know?"

Gao Ming raised his eyebrows, "Then you have to ask the people around you or the maids around Miss Cheng." Even if you can hook up with the maids around Miss Cheng, I don't believe that there is no Dong Ping's meticulous work around Cheng Li.

"No one will be spared." Cheng Wanli gritted his teeth, and suddenly remembered something, "Since Huarong's bow and arrow are on the carriage, why didn't they take it out at first?"

Anyway, Dong Ping was dead, so Gao Ming told the whole story, "The original plan was to lure the snake out of the hole, let Dong Ping kidnap Miss Cheng, and get rid of him justifiably."

The note Shi Qian gave to Miss Cheng was firstly to ask Wenxue to report the letter to Dong Ping so that he could take the bait, and secondly it was to give Miss Cheng a vaccination so that she would not be afraid. Her father's plan, but this gave Dong Ping an opportunity to take her away immediately.

If Miss Cheng didn't get out of the car, Gao Ming had no confidence that Dong Ping would make a move today.

Cheng Wanli came to his senses, "Hua Rong deliberately didn't hang the bow and arrow beside the saddle, but also for Dong Ping to see?"

During the competition that day, Gao Ming discovered that Dong Ping didn't seem to know that Hua Rong was good at archery, because he came up with this strategy.

Dong Pingguang knew that Huarong was good at spears, but he didn't know that Huarong pierced Yang with a hundred steps, and his arrows were worthwhile. Today, seeing that he didn't bring a silver gun, he took the initiative to attack because he was dormant.

He thought that he rode a fast horse, caught everyone by surprise and took the lady away, and the others couldn't catch up, but he didn't know that no matter how far he ran, Hua Rong could shoot him to death with an arrow.

Cheng Wanli said in a daze: "This, this is too risky! What if..." What if Hua Rong missed the shot.

Gao Ming said firmly: "There is no chance, as long as Dong Ping makes a move, he will be shot to death! Hua Rong can even shoot a sash, let alone Dong Ping is such a big living person."

With Cheng Wanli's psychological quality, if he told him the real plan, he would definitely show his flaws and scare the snake away.

Cheng Wanli still said: "Everything happens in case."

Hua Rong didn't want to entangle this anymore, pointed to the group of fake robbers a hundred steps away, and said, "See the fattest one? I want to scatter his bun."

The group of fake robbers were originally disguised by government servants. When I saw the real robbers just now, I couldn't figure out the situation for a while, so I had to stand by and wait for the matter to be clarified.

After Huarong finished speaking, he opened his bow and released an arrow, and saw the hair of the fattest fake bandit swish, as if a gust of wind passed through the border, and it scattered away.He didn't find the root cause, he stroked his hair randomly, and turned around in circles.

Cheng Wanli was dumbfounded.

Huarong said calmly: "There are no accidents and contingencies."

Gao Ming said with a smile: "Even if Dong Ping flies into the sky with his wings, Hua Rong can also shoot him down, not to mention he can't fly yet."

Seeing is believing, Cheng Wanli believed Gao Ming and Hua Rong's words, and tearfully said: "Thank you, you have also seen that if Dong Ping gives him a chance, he will hurt Yingying, but fortunately he was executed today. "

It was obvious what Dong Ping was up to, the fake show was real, he kidnapped Miss Cheng, and when they went to a place where only the two of them were there, they cooked raw rice.

Or, because of face, Ms. Cheng never mentioned that Dong Ping did it when she went home, and maybe she would cover up Dong Ping, saying that he saved him, and it was logical to marry Dong Ping.

Or, she has a strong temper and goes home and tells Cheng Wanli that Dong Ping did it.

Even if Ms. Cheng would rather die than obey, and swear to testify against Dong Ping to the death, at worst Dong Ping will run away, anyway, people have already got it.

But Cheng Wanli is the magistrate, and Cheng Yingying is the magistrate's daughter, the next two paths are too difficult, it is very likely to be the first one, he can marry Miss Cheng in the name of saving the beauty.

The temptation was so great that he dared to take the risk.

This is also what Gao Ming thought of, so he made such a plan to let Dong Ping throw himself into the trap.

If there is not enough bait, Dong Ping will not take the initiative to drill.

If Dong Ping hadn't been so vicious, he wouldn't have ended up where he is today, and he has to blame himself.

Cheng Wanli has seen Huarong's ability, and although today's plan is fake, but a real "robber" came, and Huarong really saved the beauty, "Huarong, you saved the little girl, there is nothing in return, If you don't dislike..."

"I have a fiancée." Hua Rong didn't want to explain, and simply lied.

Cheng Wanli looked at Hua Rong in shock, and then at Gao Ming, "Then you still lead him the red line?"

Gao Ming said with a smile: "So what I told you is also part of the plan. If you don't keep it, there is Dong Ping's secret work by your side. I dare not tell the truth. As for Hua Rong, he knew everything the day before yesterday. In order to clean up Dong Ping, I also tuned the bowstring all night."

Cheng Wanli couldn't help being disappointed, but when he thought that Dong Ping was gone, the threat was gone, and his daughter was so good, it might be better to choose carefully, and he felt better again.

That nightmare was just a nightmare after all, and the person who died was Dong Ping.

Cheng Wanli raised his head, and saw that the sky above his head was clear, and at some point, it had cleared up, and there was no more haze.

Under the eyes of everyone, Dong Ping robbed Miss Cheng masked and was shot dead by Hua Rong with an arrow. Countless eyes were there, and they all scolded Dong Ping for his ambition.

Cheng Yingying returned home to rest for a while, and she also thought about it, how did Dong Ping know that there were fake robbers today, he, a real robber, killed him out of chaos, someone must have tipped off the news, and looking at the maids around, only Wenxue's eyes were red Yes, it is inevitable that people will not think of it because she was sad when she heard the news of Dong Ping's death.

Surrounded by the anger and pain of betrayal, Cheng Yingying didn't make a sound, and asked someone to send Wenxue away the next day. As for where she went, she didn't want to know, she didn't want to think of Dong Ping and this maid again in her life.

Gao Ming and Hua Rong, who had been delayed for many days in Dongping Mansion, set off again, and their destination was Qingzhou, the destination of this journey.

Cheng Wanli reluctantly bid farewell to Gao Ming and Hua Rong, and strongly demanded to give them the antiques he had collected. These were his favorites, but they saved their beloved daughter, and they were willing to part with their hearts.

Cheng Yingying also thanked them, carefully selected antiques with her father, and finally finalized a precious tripod.

Cheng Wanli pointed to the Qingtong cauldron pulled by the cart and said to Gao Ming, "You must accept this kindness."

The last time the emperor gave him a huge stone, this time Cheng Wanli gave him a big tripod, "I appreciate the kindness, I still have to go to Qingzhou, it is inconvenient."

"It's okay, I'll ask someone to escort you back to Mengzhou!" Cheng Wanli said sincerely, "You must accept it!"

Gao Ming didn't want to accept it, got into the carriage, started to leave, waved his hand and said, "No need, I can't appreciate it, you better keep it!"

Cheng Wanli sent it a few steps away, promising: "I will send someone to Mengzhou, and you will like it sooner or later."

Gao Ming thought painfully, can't you cultural people like some lightweight objects? !

-

After a few days on the road, Gao Ming felt that sitting in the carriage was boring, so he got out of the carriage and asked Hua Rong to teach him how to ride a horse.

Hua Rong was more than happy to help Gao Ming learn how to ride a horse. After explaining the main points, he took the reins and let Gao Ming get on the horse to experience it first.

Gao Ming got on the horse tremblingly, and found that the horse's back was much wider than he imagined, and it was steady, but when he looked down, he felt that it was too high from the ground, and his eyes were dizzy.

He immediately leaned over to hug the horse's neck, Hua Rong stopped him and said, "Don't be afraid, I will follow you, and I won't let you fall."

Gao Ming still trusted Hua Rong, and slowly sat up again, let Hua Rong lead the horse, and walked for a while to feel what it was like to ride a horse.

Gao Ming said with a bitter face: "...No, I'm too tired... Obviously it's not suitable for me..."

Hua Rong was not surprised, "I guessed it would be like this."

Hua Rong helped Gao Ming get off the horse, and Gao Ming got into the carriage and lay down, after a while, he got up and opened the curtain and said to Hua Rong, "I've ridden a horse, you should come to my place as a guest. "

Seeing him playing house with a child, Hua Rong couldn't help laughing, so he asked someone to lead the horse, and he leaned into Gao Ming's carriage.

It's just the two of them here, so it's very suitable for whispering. Gao Ming pondered for a while, and found that they usually talked about everything, and there was really nothing that had to be said in such a secret way.

He didn't speak, Huarong didn't even speak, just looked at each other like this, and then Huarong couldn't hold it anymore, opened the curtain of the carriage, looked at the scenery outside, had nothing to say, "We're almost at Dongping Mansion."

It's not that he has never ridden in a carriage with Gao Ming, but for some reason he feels awkward and uncomfortable at this very moment.

After Gao Ming heard this, he moved his head to the window, "Hurry up, the road is boring..." After finishing speaking, Hua Rong didn't answer, he looked up and saw Hua Rong looking at him, His eyes are not the same as usual, a little straight.

"What's wrong?" Gao Ming didn't know why.

Hua Rong lowered his head, "It's nothing. It's uncomfortable here, I'm going out." After speaking, he got out of the car.

Gao Ming didn't take it seriously, after all, Hua Rong was used to riding a horse, and he might feel bored in the carriage.

Ever since he came out of Dongping Mansion, he found that Hua Rong was in a good mood, and never suddenly felt awkward like Dong Mansion.

Except for being a little tired, they arrived at Qingzhou City smoothly.

This time Shi Qian also went to inform them, but unlike Cheng Wanli's enthusiasm, Murong Yanze only received them outside the government office.

This kind of normal etiquette is very good. If things go wrong like Cheng Wanli, there must be demons.

Murong Yanda, as the elder brother of the noble concubine who is favored by his beauty, has fully inherited the excellent genes of the Murong family in appearance, but it is different from his younger brother Murong Yanze's feeling of a handsome boy. As a man who is almost 30 years old, Murong Yanda With sword eyebrows and star eyes, he is very masculine.

As soon as Murong Yanda saw Gao Ming, he smiled and said, "I guessed that you would arrive in the next few days, and I have been waiting for you." Then he smiled at Hua Rong next to him, "I heard that you ruled Mengzhou. It’s really good, the people who go out of Qingzhou are not ordinary.”

To his former boss, Huarong bowed politely, "Thank you for your cultivation, my lord."

Murong Yanda smiled and said, "It's not that I cultivated them well, it's that the Gao Zhifu's insight recognizes heroes. There are often Chollima, but Bole doesn't often have them."

Gao Ming half-jokingly reminded: "Then Huarong, the great horse, would you like to give it to us in Mengzhou?"

Murong Yanda made a look of embarrassment, "Well... the bandits on these hills near Qingzhou are rampant. Qingfeng Mountain was enough to cause headaches, but now there are a few bandits on Erlong Mountain. Among the three leaders, There is Wu Song whom you are looking for! In addition, there are also nearby Baihu Mountain and Peach Blossom Mountain, which are a threat to Qingzhou."

Gao Ming also had a headache for Murong Yanda, so he talked about these hills near Qingzhou.

The three leaders of Qingfeng Mountain are Dwarf Tiger Wang Ying, Jinmao Tiger Yanshun, and White Face Langjun Zheng Tianshou.

The leader of Erlong Mountain is the flower monk Lu Zhishen, the walker Wu Song, and the green-faced beast Yang Zhi.

On Peach Blossom Mountain are the bully Zhou Tong and Tiger Fighter Li Zhong.

These hills have not yet been merged into Liangshan, a big company, and are currently operating independently.

With so many robbers, I don't know if the common people have enough.

Gao Ming said in astonishment: "There are so many mountains nearby? Although Huarong is brave, but as the saying goes, a good tiger can't stand against a pack of wolves, and he can't change anything. I think the Qingzhou has to send a large army to these mountains. Suppress."

"How can you kill a chicken with a butcher's knife? The court hasn't taken them seriously yet." Murong Yanda said: "It's cold and windy, let's stop talking here."

Gao Ming thought they were going to go to the government office to talk, but Murong Yanda said: "Let's go to Qingfeng Village, let Hua Rong and his former colleagues catch up on the old days, and secondly, hand over the weapon documents, some details are not clear in the letter , let’s talk face to face.”

There are many things in Qingfengzhai that Hua Rong is responsible for keeping, but when he was in Mengzhou, he had already written a letter to explain, but since Murong Yanda said to go to Qingfengzhai, he has no reason to refuse.

Gao Ming smiled, "You can go to Qingfengzhai as you like."

Murong Yanda and Gao Ming sat in the same carriage, and they warmed up facing each other. Murong Yanda said enviously: "Compared to Mengzhou, I can't watch here. Recently, only robbers are born, hahaha."

Faced with such self-deprecating, Gao Ming could only laugh apologetically.

Murong Yanda glanced at Gao Ming, "I see that you and Hua Rong have a very close friendship, and I heard from my younger brother that he and Hua Rong are also friends."

Gao Ming did not deny, "We are good friends."

So you still have the nerve to keep Huarong?

Murong Yanda took a deep breath, thoughtful.

Qingfeng Village is not far from Qingzhou City, and it will arrive soon. This Qingfeng Village is a county under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou, and it also has a large population.

When they arrived at Qingfengzhai Yamen, Gao Ming and Murong Yanda got off the car, Hua Rong got off his horse, and the three of them walked inside.

Huarong is familiar with the house, Murong Yanda is no stranger, and Gao Ming is here for the first time, but the yamen are all similar in appearance, so there is no discomfort.

At this time, a person came out, who seemed to know Hua Rong, and said as soon as they met, "Zhizhai, you are back. I don't know where the Qingfeng Mountain bandit weapons that were captured before were placed."

Hua Rong also knew this person, "Didn't I say in the previous letter that he was in the warehouse?"

"I can't find it."

Murong Yanda said: "Hua Rong, go and find him, Gao Zhifu and I are waiting for you here."

Hua Rong and the man went down to the armory in the courtyard on the left, but before going, they had to go back to the office room to get the key.

Hua Rong had no choice but to stand in the courtyard of a row of office rooms, waiting for the man to enter the house to get the key and come out.

Suddenly, a door creaked open, and a man in chains staggered out.

This man was in his 30s, black, short and fat, and when he saw Huarong, he rushed forward: With tears in his eyes, he shouted, "Brother Huarong——"

Hua Rong was very surprised when he saw the person coming, "Brother Song, why are you here?"

What is even more surprising than him here is how Song Jiang is wearing shackles.

The author has something to say:

Song Jiang's characteristics, ① black and short: the original text of his appearance is [Because of his dark face and short body, everyone calls him Hei Songjiang; and because he is a filial family, he is generous and generous, everyone calls him Xiaoyi Heishanlang . 】

It can be seen that black has become his Peugeot.

Later, when Li Kui saw Song Jiang for the first time, he also said: [Who is this black man? 】

Li Kui said that Song Jiang was black... how dark it can be seen.

②Not thin, but quite fat, No.30 six chapters, Li Jun asked others to see if he saw Song Jiang, and described it like this: [Could this prisoner be a black and fat person? 】

Song Jiang is indeed rich, he didn't treat himself badly, and he ate quite richly.

So Song Jiang's appearance is dark, short and fat.

If it is true that Shi Naian is not an ordinary person, Water Margin is indeed a masterpiece, and few dare to write the protagonist's appearance like this. The monkey in "Journey to the West" is the [beautiful] monkey king, and all monkeys are beautiful.
