Liver in Water Margin, outlaw madman

Zhang Shan looked at Wu Yong, who was kneeling on the ground.

He seemed somewhat dazed.

They haven't even exerted any effort yet, and they've already voluntarily lowered their prices?

Which of us is the traitor?

However, Zhang Shan still had to put on an act, so he quickly got up and helped Wu Yong up: "It is an honor for Xiaozhai that Mr. Jialiang is willing to come up the mountain."

Wu Yong had originally intended to have the other party come a second time, but he couldn't resist doing so.

He was simply afraid of missing out.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, Chao Gai was considered to be both bold and powerful.

It is nothing compared to Liangshan today.

In terms of both ability and spirit, they are worlds apart.

If you're going to help someone, you should help someone like that, otherwise your life will not have been in vain!

"Thank you, Chieftain. I will do my utmost to assist you," Wu Yong said excitedly.

In Wu Yong's mind, the situation had already undergone a rapid transformation.

Gao Qiu was very powerful, but he was killed.

Then the person who killed Gao Qiu must have been very strong!

The principle is simple and straightforward!

Zhang Shan looked at Wu Yong and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Mr. Jia Liang, would you please not go up the mountain for the time being?"

"Ah!" Wu Yong was stunned. Had he been rejected?

He had never had such an experience before. He had finally taken the initiative once. Was he supposed to be introverted for the rest of his life?

Zhang Shan continued, "Mr. Jia Liang, I will always reserve this chair for you on the mountain. However, Mr. Jia Liang is now a person of impeccable character, and your usefulness outside Liangshan far outweighs your role on the mountain!"

This was something Zhang Shan suddenly thought of.

Wu Yong's flustered expression suddenly turned ashamed; he was actually worried about being rejected if he joined the outlaws.

Having lived at the bottom for so long, I've become insecure and even lost my most precious self-confidence.

"I wonder what the chieftain's plans are?" Wu Yong understood this point and became calm again.

Zhang Shan said earnestly, "We've taken refuge in Liangshan, where we're largely cut off from news. We can get some information from the martial arts world, but official news is much harder to obtain. I wonder if Mr. Jia Liang has any channels for that?"

Wu Yong's gaze remained unchanged. After a moment of contemplation, he smiled and said, "This matter is not difficult. Chao Baozheng and I are good friends, and Chao Baozheng is good friends with Song Jiang, the clerk in the county. Song Jiang happens to be in charge of the county government's official correspondence, so he is the most knowledgeable about the situation."

After hearing this, Zhang Shan's gaze towards Wu Yong changed slightly.

The original image of Wu Yong became blurred at this moment.

He was somewhat uncertain and continued, "I wonder what Mr. Jialiang will do?"

"Invite guests, have meals, and give gifts," Wu Yong said directly.

This is also the most direct and convenient approach over thousands of years.

Nothing new, just practical stuff.

After listening, Zhang Shan fell into deep thought. This was a good method, but he felt that something was wrong.

After a long silence, Zhang Shan slowly said, "Mr. Jialiang, is it possible that you would consider joining the county government?"

It's better to have information within your own circle than to have it pass through others.

Song Jiang would not join the bandits unless absolutely necessary.

If it weren't for Wu Yong's instigation, Chao Gai most likely wouldn't have joined the outlaws.

Therefore, Wu Yong was the most restless person and the one with the strongest rebellious intentions.

Wu Yong felt that today was the most mentally taxing day of his life.

He had never considered this path. He dreamed of becoming a rebel and realizing his own value, but he finally found a rebel.

As a result, the rebels sent him to the county government office.

"No, no, what does the chieftain mean by this?" Wu Yong had already thrown the feather fan he was holding somewhere.

My brain is working at high speed, trying to figure out what Zhang Shan means.

Zhang Shan couldn't help but laugh. What else could it mean? He said with a smile, "Nowadays, officials are neither officials nor bandits, and the world is in chaos. Mr. Jialiang's joining the county government is just a temporary measure. There are many rules and restrictions there, so please bear with it for now."

Zhang Shan genuinely wanted to infiltrate the county government and become one of his own.

But no, there really isn't.

Wang Lun has already made an appointment, but he can't get in.

"All the necessary expenses, including bribes and favors, will be covered by Liang Shan. Brother Jialiang's only job in the county government is to spend money!" Zhang Shan said with a smile.

Wu's heart was racing, not because of the money, but because of Zhang Shan's train of thought.

"Is the chieftain sending me to be a spy?"

Spies are something that usually only exist between countries. I just wanted to be a rebel, so why am I suddenly playing such a sophisticated game?

"My body is in Cao's camp, but my heart is with Han. If Brother Jialiang is unwilling, then let's just drop this matter and pretend I never said anything." Zhang Shan saw that Wu Yong was not very willing.

This cannot be forced; it can only be done voluntarily. It won't work if it's not voluntary.

This is also the most difficult part.

Wu Yong quickly said, "Chief, it's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that I haven't quite grasped the idea yet. This plan is very ingenious, and I'm willing to give it a try."

Zhang Shan was overjoyed upon hearing this, realizing that Wu Yong's role on the mountain was far less practical than his role in the county government.

Besides, who knows what kind of sparks will fly between Song Jiang and Wu Yong at the county government office?

Thinking of this, Zhang Shan couldn't help but laugh; he did have a bit of a wicked sense of humor.

"What procedures are required to enter the county government office?" Zhang Shan asked. "What do we need to prepare here in Liangshan?"

As a scholar, Wu Yong had considered becoming a clerk in the county government and had even entertained such thoughts. He directly stated:

"It might be a bit troublesome for ordinary people, but it's not a big problem for me. Please ask Chao Baozheng to recommend Song Jiang, the clerk, to act as guarantor, and give him some money. That should be enough."

Some things may seem complicated, but in practice they are often quite simple and straightforward.

He was unwilling to become a minor official because he was resentful of it.

Being a clerk likely means being a clerk for life, constantly bogged down in trivial matters, which is truly unbearable.

He would rather take a different path than endure the hardship slowly!

Wu Yong's motto was that rather than living a mediocre life, it's better to be carefree and spontaneous, and live life to the fullest!

Now that Liangshan has the support, I'm going to go into the county government office and see what it's like inside.

With money paving the way, who knows if there will be any unexpected surprises.

After all, the way insiders give gifts is completely different from how outsiders give gifts.

Zhang Shan was overjoyed upon hearing this. If the operation succeeded, he would have connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds!

"Rest assured, sir, only the Nguyen brothers know about this matter, and only they are in contact with you."

After all, there are risks involved.

"Chief, don't worry, I, Xiao Qi, will personally escort the professor," Ruan Xiao Qi said directly. He hadn't expected his chief to have this trick up his sleeve.

Zhang Shan shook his head: "You're too impatient. Erlang should take charge."

"Brother, don't worry," Ruan Xiaoer nodded and said.

Before Ruan Xiaoqi could say anything more, Ruan Xiaowu grabbed her arm.

Wu Yong had originally planned to go up the mountain stronghold to take a look, but now it's inconvenient for him to go up, so as not to be seen by more people.

"Chief, I'll go down the mountain to prepare right away." Wu Yong felt a surge of excitement, even more intense than when he was a private merchant.

Am I just naturally inclined to take risks?
