Chapter 536 There is a savior for the heroes of the rivers and lakes!

Daxiangguo Temple.

After the old man Jiang heard the news that the county king had been killed, his complexion changed drastically. He didn't even dare to hesitate for a moment, and hurriedly said to his subordinates: "Pack up your luggage quickly and go to another state to avoid it."

A group of men who were performing Cuju under his command gathered around, and looked at each other when they heard the words, many of them showed reluctance, and said in a hurry: "Recently, there are more and more people vying for the place, so we must not let it go!" "Yes After we go, it will not be easy to occupy the place again!" "Why is brother so eager, isn't he just dead, what does it have to do with us?"

The old man Jiang stared: "Can this time be the same as last time? The one who died last time was Xiang Ba, who was just a wealthy slave and a lowly citizen. If there was no trouble, who would care? This time it is the county king of the court. Are you It's not that I'm in a daze, I want to kill Wei Bang!"

As soon as the word Shawei stick came out, everyone jumped up and hurried to pack their bags and prepare to run away.

Heroes in the Jianghu are a strange group whose boundaries are difficult to define, easily moved by themselves, equated with lawlessness and discipline in the eyes of the court, and usually disliked in the eyes of the common people, but they want them to appear when they are oppressed by the government.

The point is that these people often have a lot of money in their pockets.

So whenever something major happens, no matter whether it has anything to do with Jiang Huzi or not, the government will dispatch it, and arrest them first.

If the money flies into the pockets of officials with knowledge and interest, then it is innocent.

If the money is not spiritual enough, and it is still kept in your own money bag, then a hundred killing sticks will be struck down.

That's still an ordinary case, and now such a big case, I'm afraid silver psychic is useless, if the real culprit can't be caught, in order to maintain the face of the court and the majesty of the Song Dynasty, there must be a scapegoat.

If the territory is gone, you can fight again and again, and you only have one life. In the boundary of Bianjing, it is impossible to confront the government in the open. The only way left is the wind.

So the old man Jiang made a decisive decision, took a group of brothers, packed up the money, and evacuated the Daxiangguo Temple directly.

As soon as I came to Bianjing Street, I saw the opponents who had fought for the territory, also merged into the crowd.

The two sides looked at each other from a distance, nodded to each other, and felt a little bit like meeting each other and smiling at each other.

You also ran away?
And Jiang Jing, who had just arrived near the state bridge, came in after being notified. The old man Jiang hadn't seen this hard-working younger brother for five or six days, and asked with concern: "How do your eyes feel?"

Jiang Jing said excitedly: "Since I was cured by Dr. Lin, my eye disease has improved a lot, and the imperial examination is hopeful!"

The old man Jiang was full of expectations: "If you can be a Jinshi, it will really be a glory for your ancestors. I don't have to deal with a lowly career, and I can go back to my hometown to enjoy the blessings!"

Feeling the pressure, Jiang Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Please don't worry, brother, I will definitely go to high school!"

Just as the old man Jiang was about to speak, he suddenly looked forward, his expression changed drastically: "No, it's an officer from the Ministry of Punishment!"

Everyone stopped immediately, mixed with the crowd, and secretly looked at the city gate.

Then they quickly confirmed that the Ministry of Criminal Justice had already dispatched. This speed was unprecedented.

In fact, it is normal. Everyone is under pressure. At first, the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple did not know that Gongsun Zhao would foolishly step forward to take over this hot potato. Therefore, their first consideration was not to arrest the murderer, but how to reveal all the details.

Ever since, the three parties distributed tacitly, and the Ministry of Punishment was the most powerful, and they were optimistic about the Suzaku Gate and Chongming Gate with the largest traffic.

Dali Temple was guarded by Wangchun Gate and Lijing Gate, while several officials from the Kaifeng government government did not go to report to Fan Chunli, but guarded Changque Gate and Yiqiu Gate.

With the flow of people in Bianjing, they could not and did not dare to seal the city gates. All they did was want to catch a group of so-called good men with a little reputation in Bianjing, so that they could make business in the future.

The old man Jiang has a lot of friends on weekdays, he is good at helping others, and he has a good reputation. There was another cry of shock and anger. It seemed that the other group hadn't seen the way clearly and was caught straight away.

After avoiding the trouble, the old man Jiang sighed: "Those of us who travel the rivers and lakes also want to save some family wealth, so we don't live like this anymore, but we can't do what we want!"

Jiang Jingdao: "The death of the county king is certainly a big deal, but it is not difficult for us brothers to find a hiding place?"

The old man Jiang thought for a while and said: "Just in case, you leave the city now, and we are fine. You are the seed of study, and you will be admitted to Jinshi in the future. You must not be caught by the criminals..."

Jiang Jing's complexion changed, and he said angrily: "Brother, what is the point? If I didn't support you, how would I have the money to study in the academy? If I left you and left, how would I be different from a beast?"

The old man Jiang was a little relieved, and explained in a low voice: "This matter is just to avoid the limelight. When the murderer who killed the county king is caught, we can go back to Daxiangguo Temple. Don't be stubborn!"

Jiang Jing shook his head: "I'm not going out of the city. Instead of going out to be frightened, I'd rather be with you. I'm not another frail scholar. I've also learned martial arts with guns and sticks in the Yuquan Gym!"

The old man Jiang said helplessly: "So what can you do if you have practiced martial arts, can you still..."

Speaking of this, his brows twitched, and his face suddenly changed: "Not good! The head coach Zhou of the Yuquan Gym may be in trouble!"

Jiang Jing's expression also changed: "No way, the plaques in the Yuquan Gym are all kept by the Emperor Shenzong himself, and officials dare to come to the door?"

The old man Jiang said: "It's true that they won't do it on weekdays, but it's also because they have nothing to do with the Yuquan gymnasium. Now that the county king has been killed, such a good opportunity to make trouble, will those officials who are scraping the ground let go? No, Coach Zhou has taken care of us, I'm going to see it!"

Jiang Jing said in a deep voice, "Go together!"

Old man Jiang didn't try to persuade him this time, instead he nodded his head heavily.

People in the rivers and lakes can let their family members avoid risks, but they have to go through fire and water for outsiders, so they can live up to a righteous word.

After arranging his men to go to the stronghold to wait, the old man Jiang dressed up a bit, pretending to be an old man, and went to the north side of the city together with Jiang Sheng, who was not well-known in the rivers and lakes.

The reputation of Yuquan Gym was at its peak thirty years ago. At that time, famous masters from all walks of life were invited as coaches, and there were even master-level figures like Shaolin martial artist Tan Zhengfang as chief coaches.

Although the reputation of this Shaolin Temple is not as good as that of Daxiangguo Temple, there were thirteen stick monks who assisted the King of Qin in the former Tang Dynasty.

When Tan Zhengfang resigned from the position of head coach, his successor, Zhou Tong, was in charge. His disciples were more capable and taught students in accordance with their aptitude.

Therefore, if it is said that the people from Bianjing Jianghu gather the most, and they are also the biggest early birds, there is no doubt that it is the Yuquan Gym where Zhou Tong lives.

The old man Jiang has always speculated about those officials with malicious intentions, and he has repeatedly guessed it. Unfortunately, this time is no exception.

The two brothers borrowed two horses and rode all the way to the Yuquan Gym. They could see the huge courtyard from a distance. The high courtyard walls could not block the sound of martial arts training coming from inside, and there were already many officials surrounded outside. Just looking at the plaque, without formally calling the door.

On the front of the tall gate, hung a black lacquered plaque with the words "Yu Boxing Gym" written on it, and the inscription next to it was bestowed by Emperor Shenzong, so this boxing gym dared to be called "Yu".

Jiang Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that the officials are still afraid, no wonder the normal martial arts training inside is not disturbed."

The old man Jiang observed carefully, but frowned: "I'm afraid it's not jealousy, but waiting for someone... This group of officials will either not come, and since they have come, they will not let it go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen fast horses were approaching in the distance, and in the middle was an official in scarlet robes, shouting at the front and embracing at the back, full of official authority.

When Jiang Jing saw it, he let out a little surprise: "Is that Judge Han from the Kaifeng government office?"

The old man Jiang's face darkened: "This person is unscrupulous and extremely greedy. The vendors in Daxiangguo Temple are most afraid of seeing him... Hey, how did you know him?"

Jiang Jing explained: "I saw him seek medical consultation in the Sui'an Medical Center. After the doctor's diagnosis, he said that it was just cold stasis, but he said that he was not feeling well. Doctor An had no choice but to prescribe a lot of medicine, and he left with satisfaction. ..."

The old man Jiang said coldly: "This is because I have done too many bad things. Judge Han still worships Buddha and offers incense every time he comes to Daxiangguo Temple!"

Just as he was talking, Judge Han had a conflict with people outside before he even entered the Yuquan Gym.

It was a young man who came from another direction. Before reaching the crown, he was already nine feet tall, with magnificent facial features, his eyes were like lightning, and he was full of heroic and aggressive spirit.

As soon as the young man appeared, the Jiang brothers' gazes were subconsciously attracted to them. The old man Jiang sincerely praised: "I don't know which family raises such a unicorn. It's so majestic!"

But the young man was also surrounded by officials, and when he questioned, there was a vague voice of dispute: "I'm from the Daming Mansion... I'm learning art from a teacher... Why stop me..."

And judge Han looked at the young man's clothes, then looked at the clothes of the servants behind him, determined that he was from a wealthy family, and immediately waved his hand: "The man from the outer palace has acted suspiciously, and it may be related to the murder of the county king. Take it!"

The young man changed his color and grabbed the stick. Fortunately, at this moment, he saw a dispute outside the hall, and a group of people strode out. The leader was a majestic white-haired old man. Judge Han and the young man from Daming Mansion greeted him in.

Seeing everyone entering the Yuquan Gym, Jiang Jing asked uneasily: "Brother, I'm afraid Mr. Zhou will be at a disadvantage. Can we help now?"

Old man Jiang didn't know what to do for a while, and was thinking about where he could move to rescue the soldiers so that the corrupt official could retreat in the face of difficulties, when the sound of horseshoes came again.

The two brothers looked over, and when they saw the person who came, they felt as if they had been pardoned immediately, and couldn't help but be overjoyed:

"They are here! The savior of the heroes of the rivers and lakes is here!"
