The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 324 Village Name Green Willow, Song Jiang Enters Tokyo

The matter of buying Zhuangzi went very smoothly, and it only took three days to complete it.

Ten miles to the south of the city, Zhuangzi is very large, and it is the property of a merchant in the city.

The merchant originally owned land outside the city before building the Zhuangzi, but later when he went to Huaixi to do business, he encountered Wang Qing's rebellion and lost even his capital and profits.

After escaping back to Tokyo, he planned to sell Zhuangzi for turnover, but the land had to be sold together. His asking price was very high, 100% higher than the market price, covering more than [-] mu.

After careful inquiry, I found out that this land was originally owned by the great eunuch Yang Jian. Before Yang Jian died, he distributed a family property. The merchant was his nephew. There are more than [-] acres in the suburbs of Beijing, and the money is also the lowest among the same family.

Yao Pingzhong asked Zhao Tun to go over and have a look. He thought the location was good, quiet and quiet. As for the high land price, since it was all fertile land, it was naturally expensive.

After buying it, Zhao Tun saw that it had no name, and saw that there was a small river in front of the village with willow trees lined up beside it, so he took up a pen and wrote the word "green willow".

Then he ordered Yao Ping, Zhong Luo, and Jinshui to buy it, and use this place as a meeting place for Mingjiao believers in Gyeonggi.

A few days later, Tokyo ushered in the first snow of winter.

Zhao Tang put on his fur coat and went to the village to check, because there were some tenant farmers who were connected to the land, and they worked in spring and autumn, and Tianhan also came to the village to work, and the cleaning was pretty clean.

Originally, the villa was well-equipped with everything, and several simple palaces were built as places for collecting books and worshiping gods.

The people stationed there are all believers brought back from Luzhou, but they are not those in the imperial army, but the refugees who were coerced by Wang Qing at that time.

After these refugees were brought to the capital, they were assigned to the Xiang army, but this matter had to be managed by the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households. These people are temporarily placed in the village.

He didn't reveal his real identity, he still used Li Fei's name, and his face was simple and easy.

Although Yelu Dashi used up the disguise medicine powder that year, but this kind of thing is not difficult to find. There are several people in Suiyulou, and they are all heroes who have been in the green forests of rivers, lakes and forests before. Even Shi Qian does not lack this kind of thing.

Zhao Tong picked from them, and finally used Shi Qian's medicinal powder. Although the color was not exactly the same, it was also dark yellow.

And he has lectured many times in Luzhou, and his voice and tone are familiar to these believers, so there is nothing wrong or wrong.

Returning to the palace from Lvliuzhuang that day, he knew that Zhao Kai was already on his way back to the capital, Liangshan's recruiting went smoothly, the Emperor Daojun had promised the chiefs an official position, and now he was following Zhao Kai back.

Xiaoxue was still falling, and the day was full of joy, without any intention of stopping. When the lights were first turned on at night, Zhao Tun filled in a song celebrating the Holy Dynasty and passed it on, making the booksellers who had been waiting outside the mansion happy.

A few days later, when Zhao Kai arrived in Beijing, soldiers and horses were stationed outside Xincao Gate, and the Emperor Daojun issued an order to meet him.

This momentum is extremely huge, not weaker than the welcome ceremony when Huaixi was recovered that day.

The Emperor Daojun ordered the leaders of Liangshan to wear military uniforms, and only bring three to five hundred horses into the city, passing from east to west, and to watch from the Xuande Tower, so that the people in the city can admire these achievements.

Over there, Song Jiang ordered that Pei Xuan, with an iron face, choose a big man with a golden drum and banner, a gun, a knife and an axe at the back, two red flags "Shuntian" and "Guoguo" erected in the middle, and military uniforms and armor. Form a team and enter from Dongguo Gate.

The Emperor Daojun led all the officials to watch from the Linxuan on the Xuande Building, and Zhao Tun was also next to him, with a faint smile on his mouth and clear and peaceful eyes.

I saw coming from below, with golden drum flags, guns, knives and axes at the front. They were divided into teams. Among them were white horse troops, holding two red flags of "Shuntian" and "Guoguo". After the military pressure, there were twenty or thirty horsemen outside to accompany the army drumming, and many heroes behind them walked in clusters, looking majestic and heroic!
The Emperor Daojun looked at Liangshan's line of followers, and couldn't help but move Longyan with joy, and pointed out to all the officials: "Sure enough, he has loyalty in his heart, and he is a good man at first glance!"

Zhao Tong squinted his eyes and looked at the leaders below, but there were no one hundred and eight people, about seventy or eighty, except for the ones he called in advance, there were also some who didn't know where they were going. They didn't join the team, or they were outside the city. stationed.

In particular, he didn't see Lin Chong, nor did he see Hu Sanniang.

The Emperor Daojun watched the performance of the generals in the Xuande Building, and he was very happy, so he issued a Taoist decree for the head of the palace to pass it on, instructing Song Jiang and others to remove the weapons and utensils, put on the royal brocade robes, and enter the palace to see him .

The head official of the palace was ordered to pass the decree to Liangshan, and Song Jiang hurriedly led the generals to the outside of Donghuamen.

Then Song Jiang was the leader, Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng were the second, and the general of the front hall led the way and led the people to enter the palace from Donghuamen.

The Emperor Daojun opened the Hall of Wende, cleaned up the court rituals, and set up the Luanjia. The ceremonial officer then led Song Jiang and others into the hall one by one, and then lined up to salute.

First, he was named Doctor Song Jiang Wude, the comfort envoy of Chuzhou and the general manager of the military and horse capital.

Chuzhou is an important town in Huaidong, geographically important and prosperous.

In terms of words, this official position is actually good. It is not a petty official, and it is a civil servant.

However, Huainan East Road has its own appeasement envoy, who has jurisdiction over the military and political power of Huainan East Road.

And Chuzhou has Zhizhou, which manages the military and political power of Chuzhou.

So what is this Chuzhou appeasement envoy?It is probably a good name, but the real official position is actually the last one, the general manager of Chuzhou soldiers and horses.

Under Zhizhou, he is in charge of Chuzhou's soldiers and horses.

But Song Jiang was originally just a small official in Yuncheng County, Shandong Province. He had no rank and no rank.

Then Emperor Daojun appointed Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng and other leaders. Although some official positions were really low, they finally became officials, and they were no longer grasslanders.

After everything was over, the Emperor Daojun ordered Guanglu Temple to arrange an imperial banquet, where the wine was served at the Liangming Office, the food was eaten at the Zhensha Office, the rice was made at the Master Office, the meals were served at the Grand Official Office, and the Jiaofang Division played music.

This standard was different from the celebration banquet that day, it was a rule for foreign ministers, not as casual as during the celebration banquet.

This banquet, until dusk, it snowed heavily outside the hall again, this time it was even heavier, and it seemed like goose feathers were flying.

Sitting behind the case and drinking, Zhao Tang was full of doubts, the people in Liangshan opposite were still those performing martial arts in front of Xuande Building, not one more was added.

He looked carefully several times, but there were still no Lin Chong and Hu Sanniang. He recognized both of them, so there was no mistake.

As the night grew darker, the banquet slowly dissipated. Song Jiang and the others went out of the palace with hairpin flowers, got on their horses, and were taken to the posthouse to rest.

Zhao Tong went back to the mansion, and as soon as he entered the study and sat down, Lei San came to report, saying that someone gave presents before, and seeing that they were all gold, silver and copper goods, he temporarily accepted them, but he left something alive in his words, saying that he would wait for the prince to come back to make a decision.

Zhao Tong curiously asked who sent someone to send it, and Lei Sandao was Song Jiang, the leader of the Liangshan bandits who entered the city today.

Zhao Tong smiled and asked Lei San to put the things into storage, then stood outside the study door to watch the snow.

I saw the sky waving, and large flakes of snowflakes falling, as if falling down from a Qiong Palace, without any intention of stopping.

Before the study room was covered with silver carvings and jade everywhere, the path was paved with white, the trees and things, all the colors of snow, against the lights in the room, it was faintly illuminated.

Faced with this scene, Zhao Tun suddenly recalled a word, saying, "Reading for Yingxue", thinking in his heart that he gradually fell into deep thought...

Liangzhe West Road and the boundary of Runzhou also had a heavy snowfall that was rare in a century.

Goose feathers come from the sky, the sky and the earth are vast, and the night is sad and pale.

The two men meandered in the heavy snow, and they didn't have a horse, they just walked forward with difficulty.

The horse had already been injured and died, and a chase ran through Jingdong East Road and Huainan East Road before he was completely freed.

Walking in the head is a man with a leopard head and eyes, a swallow jaw and a tiger beard, and a burly figure.

He was wearing a Fan Yang hat and a gray cloak with dark red spots all over it.

An iron spear was carried on his shoulder, it was actually a spear of eight snakes, and the tip of the spear was also dark red at the moment, it was clear that the blood was frozen and never dried up.

The man stopped at the bottom of a dead tree, looked up at the sky, and said to the woman who was following him: "San Niang, it's not far away, now the pursuers are gone, after tonight, there is no need to hurry. "

The woman in the back was dressed in black and simply wrapped her head with a veil. She was pretty and tall and straight. She just nodded, as if she was quite tired.

The man said again: "Although I didn't kill Li Kui this time, I also stabbed Mrs. Gu to death. Half of the revenge of Hu's family village has been avenged. It will only wait for a long time in the future, when the time comes, I will definitely kill that black guy. Sanniang don't have to worry about it." .”

The woman shook her head when she heard the words: "I'm not worried about this matter. It's not a matter of time to kill that black servant, but the gentleman has not avenged himself, and he was..."

The man frowned, and heaved a long sigh. He was none other than Lin Chong who was sitting in the second place in Liangshan.

Zhao Kai and Gao Qiu recruited Liangshan, Song Jiang flattered and flattered him, Lin Chong was thinking of pretending to obey, pretending to be a swindler, and then slowly care about it after returning to Beijing.

Unexpectedly, Gao Qiu's mind was gloomy. Although it had been a long time, he never wanted to let him go. He wanted to kill the grass to eliminate future troubles, secretly instigated Song Jiang to kill him with poison, and Lin Chong sent people to chase after him.

Lin Chong took Hu Sanniang down Liangshan and fled southwards. A dozen or so leaders of Liangshan led more than a hundred minions to chase after him. deadly.

The two hurried away, relying on their superb martial arts skills, and set some traps between the two roads, they killed all the dozen or so heroes who were chasing after them, and dispersed the remaining scattered soldiers, and then entered Go to the boundary of Runzhou on Zhexi Road.

At this moment, Lin Chong patted the snow on his body, looked ahead and said, "The snow seems to be hard to stop tonight, I'd better find a place to stay overnight, and leave tomorrow morning."

Hu Sanniang said: "Mr. Lang, do you think that Muzhou Fangla will take us in? The last time I heard from the Crane King Fang Nineteen who came here last time, Fang La started the incident based on teaching, but we are not people from Mingjiao."

Lin Chong looked at her and said, "It's okay. The big deal is that if you join the so-called Mingjiao, as long as Gao Qi is around, I will be in the same boat as the Song court. Now that Fang La is determined to revolt, if he can reach Tokyo, it will be just right." Captured Gao Qiu and had his heart cut open, to avenge him."

The two walked forward while talking, and after a while, they saw a village in the distance, Hu Sanniang said happily: "There are lights and candles ahead, I wonder if there is anyone willing to stay overnight."

Lin Chong said: "Ask and you'll know, I still have some money on me, and it's not in vain."

After walking over, just about to knock on the door, Lin Chong suddenly looked complicated. He glanced at the dark red spots on his body, and couldn't help but frown.

He and Hu Sanniang came all the way here, their clothes were already stained with blood, but Hu Sanniang was fine, because he was wearing blue and black clothes, so he couldn't see clearly, but his body was too conspicuous, and he might be spotted under the light tells.

There was also the Zhangba Snake Spear, the tip of which was frozen with blood and thrown there, it looked like it had killed someone.

Lin Chong pondered, Hu Sanniang said: "Your Majesty is worried about the blood on your body?"

Lin Chong nodded, and then held the snake spear to beat the bloody ice on the blade, but it was so hard that it couldn't be knocked off, so he had to wrap a piece of black cloth from Hu Sanniang's body.

"The traces on the body can't be covered up. They can only be blurred under the lamp, and the other party can't pay attention." Lin Chong said calmly.

Hu Sanniang was a little hesitant: "Mr. Lang, what if he gets noticed?"

Lin Chong's face turned slightly cold, and without answering, he took a step forward and knocked on the door...

There are only a few dozen families in the small village. It is more than 20 miles away from Runzhou City. It is considered a remote suburb and has always been peaceful and peaceful.

But this morning, the courtyard door of Zhou Laoshi, the head of the village, has not been opened for a long time. There is a happy event in the east of the village, and Zhou Laoshi is invited to go to know the guest, so he comes to invite him.

The visitor yelled a few times outside the courtyard, but no one answered inside. After wondering, he pushed the courtyard door and it opened, and then went in and yelled again, but there was still no sound.

The visitor was a little apprehensive, went to the door and knocked a few times, then stretched out his hand and pulled it, the door was opened, he probed his brain for a few times, and the inside was dead silent.

He scratched his face and walked in cautiously. When he reached the door of the west chamber, he suddenly felt that there was water in the ground, and he almost slipped, but he realized that something was wrong. It was sticky and had a fishy smell. Dark red color.

At this time, he lowered his body, and saw a hand stretched out from under the door of the west wing, pale in color, he immediately screamed in fright, and ran out.

After getting out of the house, he was slid by the snow and fell again. Seeing that the ground was covered in blood red by his own family, he couldn't help but crawled to the courtyard gate, but didn't go back to Dongtou's house, and ran straight to Baozheng's residence in Lincun ...

The next day, when the snow was fine, in the afternoon, someone at the gate of the palace presented a prayer card, and the housekeeper sent it to the study.

Zhao Tang took the post, skipped the nasty words, and saw that the bottom line read:

The next official, Dr. Wude, the pacifier of Chuzhou, the general manager of the soldiers and horses, Songjiang, Shandong, worships the king for a thousand years, and is respectful and respectful.

He couldn't help laughing and said: "He is also good at speculation, but unfortunately he was born at an untimely time."

After thinking about it, Zhao Tang told the housekeeper that he would come back in three days, then got up and changed his clothes, changed his face, and without taking anyone with him, rode out the back door on a yellow horse with a big belly.

He wandered around the city in a random circle, and then went straight to Lvliuzhuang outside the city.

Zhuang Zili had just established the rules at this moment, and he appointed several envoys, appointed those who could read as scripture envoys, those with a bit of fist as martial envoys, and those who could speak eloquently as artificer eloquent envoys.

As for the Mingjiao scriptures, I also wrote five or eight copies from memory, and then made up a few copies at random, and a Mingjiao main altar in Beijing was formed.

The believers were all happy, and didn't ask why it was called the main altar, even though it was a branch altar, and they didn't know the duties of these envoys at all, and there was no registration at all in the Jiangnan side of Mingjiao in the Central Plains.

At the end of the afternoon, Zhao Tun rode back to the city. He was going to the back door of the palace, but when he walked around the wall of the palace, he saw a little maid walking hesitantly towards the front door. He identified it as Zhao Yuannu's personal maid. Jade.
