Start with detective Li Yuanfang

"Thank you father!"

Facing the cold reality, Song Jiang, who was going to be the pillar of his family, finally turned into a glorious gnawing old man.

After returning home to pay respects to Father Song, the money pouch in his waist puffed up again, and then Song Jiang took the token lent by Shi Wenbin and headed towards the West Lane of the county seat.

After entering the alley and riding for a while, at almost the deepest place, I heard a uniform voice coming from a large courtyard.

"Drink-ha-!" "Drink-ha-!" "Line up! Formation!"

"This martial arts gym seems to have a lot of students. It's really low-key. I didn't know it in Yuncheng..."

Song Jiang raised his eyebrows.

He has been fond of clubs since he was a child, and he once wanted to go to the Jingzhong Yuquan Gym to learn from his master. Unfortunately, since his two elder brothers passed away, he, as Saburo, had to do his filial piety in front of Song's father, so it was inconvenient for him to travel far away. But there is such a martial arts gym in his hometown county, but he doesn't know it at all, which means that the other party has no publicity at all.

"Is it the gathering place of Liangshan heroes?"

"drive!"

Thinking of the majestic Liangshan man, Song Jiang's heart warmed up, and he pinched the horse's belly, while the pony stepped forward reluctantly, and finally came to the main entrance of the martial arts hall.

Looking up, the plaque made him suddenly realize: "Xiangyongwuguan, is it originally a martial arts gym founded by the Xiangjun? No wonder I can contact Liangshan heroes here..."

When the Liao Kingdom invaded last year, the heroes of Liangshan went northward and fought against the northern captives together with the township army, and finally made great contributions in the process of recovering Yanyun.

In Song Jiang's view, it was precisely because of this that the imperial court was lenient. Similarly, the officials in the yamen were not too scrupulous about dealing with Liangshan, and this should also be the reason.

He got off his horse, took out the token, and went to pay a visit.

There were two men standing in front of the Martial Arts Hall. After checking the token, they looked at Song Jiang again. Looking at his official attire, he looked like he was used to it: "Your Excellency is holding a Juyi order, please come with us!"

After entering the martial arts hall, Song Jiang was ushered into the side hall. After waiting for tea for about a quarter of an hour, he saw a burly man walk in, clasped his fists and said, "I wish Tiger, the coach of the Yuncheng branch, who is the guest? "

Song Jiang returned the gift with a smile: "In Xia Songjiang, I am the prefect of the county. I have a friend who has admired Liangshan's reputation for a long time. After being recommended, I will come to visit!"

I have a friend who Zhu Hu has heard too much. I have a little disdain for the ridiculous behavior of these officials. There is a leader who is specially received to come and talk with him."

"Thank you..."

Song Jiang knew that the other party had misunderstood. Just as he was about to explain, Zhu Hu was about to leave: "As the coach, I still have a job, so I won't accompany you any longer. Our township martial arts hall recruits talents from all walks of life, and the governor of Song Dynasty can also visit at will. .”

This is undoubtedly an order to chase away guests. Song Jiang was surprised by the bit of resentment in the other party's tone, and at the same time said with a smile: "If you want it, then I will learn a thing or two in the martial arts hall!"

Zhu Hu looked at this cheeky Hei Langjun, ignored him, and walked to the training ground.

Song Jiang didn't care, he really followed up so generously, all the way to the sidelines to watch.

"Drink—ha—!"

He quickly discovered that unlike traditional martial arts gyms, which allow students to build up their strength and strengthen their blood, the students in this township martial arts gym pay more attention to each other's progress and cooperation.

"It's more like the way in the army. Did you learn it from the township army?"

"Compared to the Xiang army training I have seen, although the number of people here is only two or three hundred, the morale is much higher!"

As a native of Yuncheng County, Song Jiang felt relieved to see such a martial arts training student in the city.

Because as Sun Yuan said, the outside world is not very peaceful, and in case bandits make trouble in Shandong, there is no doubt that such a team can protect the homeland from bandits.

But as a yamen chief, Song Jiang felt a little worried when he saw a martial arts gym in a deep alley training like this.

If there are more than one such martial arts hall, and people from all states and counties gather together, if they have a heart of disobedience, the degree of threat will be far beyond the comparison of gangsters and bandits!
But this is the place recommended by the county chief, even the boss turned a blind eye, what else could he say?

Just as he was meditating, Song Jiang glanced sideways, and saw two figures walking out from the back hall, both of them were wearing white shirts, full of style.

Compared with the resentment in Zhu Hu's brows, he was more optimistic about these two scribes with a natural and unrestrained temperament. He was refreshed, and when it was time to make friends again, he immediately greeted them, and took the initiative to cup his fists and said: "In Xia Songjiang, the word Gongming, the governor of Yuncheng County, met two scholars!"

"Xiaosheng Xiao Rang..." "Xiaosheng Jin Dajian..."

The two of them were walking well, when they saw a black-faced man flashing in front of them to say hello, they were slightly taken aback, and after bowing their hands to return the salute, they said in a local Jeju accent: "Forgive me, Song Yasi, we both have important matters. If you are rude, please look at Haihan!"

Song Jiang wasn't embarrassed at all: "It was Song who took the liberty, but he couldn't help but come forward for a chat..."

"Song Yasi is too polite, let's say goodbye!"

Everyone likes to listen to good words. Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian did have calm faces, but they obviously had no interest in this yamen's chief officer. After greeting them politely, they walked out.

Song Jiang watched the backs of the two scholars drift away, sighed, and then turned to the martial arts field, watching the martial arts gym up and down.

At first, those fighters frequently looked at the six-foot-tall black man standing on the sidelines, but gradually no one cared about it, and practiced on their own.

In more and more orderly and standardized movements, Song Jiang cupped his fists at Zhu Hu and the others, turned around and walked out.

After leaving the martial arts hall, it was already dark. It would be a good thing to have a long conversation with two or three friends, but now he has to go back to the rented house in the city alone. Song Jiang sighed and felt quite lost, and went to the Song Family Manor outside the city go.

But before returning home, before the servants greeted him, his expression changed slightly. He saw the blood stains on the ground, and then saw several figures flashing out.

On the left and right is a young couple. The man is strong and has a somewhat dull expression, while the woman has murderous eyebrows and fierce eyes. A short, fat man with blood dripping is supported in the middle.

Song Jiang was startled at first, then after careful consideration, he took the initiative to ask, "But Brother Sun's relatives, Mrs. Sun and his wife?"

The woman nodded and said: "My family is Sun Erniang, and this is my husband, Zhang Qing. My father asked us to find Song Yasi, and we encountered some disasters on the way, and wanted to take our companions to Song Yasi's house for a while..."

Song Jiang squatted down immediately, wiped off the blood, and said without hesitation, "Both of you, quickly bring this brother in! Go through the back door!"

The three of them entered through the back door of the manor, and Song Jiang didn't call his servants, and went to get the wound medicine himself.

Seeing him busy and busy without saying a word, both Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing showed gratitude: "Song Yasi and my father just met by chance, but they can be so generous. I will never forget my great kindness!"

Song Jiang said sternly: "If you think highly of me, Song Jiang, you must never say such things! How is this brother's injury? Do you want to hire a doctor?"

Zhang Qing hesitated for a moment, but Sun Erniang shook her head resolutely: "The enemy is powerful, inviting a doctor to come to the door may expose our tracks, this brother Wang Ying is also a generation who has fought for a long time, and he can still support, thank you Song Yasi The medicine is gone!"

Song Jiang used the light to see that the man rescued by Zhang Qing, Sun Erniang and his wife was actually a head shorter than himself, with a complete five-short stature. After a few touches of fierceness, he nodded and said: "Then please feel at ease here, the three of you. If you need to use Song for anything, just ask!"

Seeing that Song Jiang left without delay, Erniang Sun breathed a sigh of relief, and helped Wang Ying to the couch with Zhang Qing, took off his coat, and began to apply wound medicine to the bloody wounds on his body.

I was painting and painting, only to hear painful groans: "Ouch... Take it easy! Take it easy!"

Zhang Qingli ignored it, and even strengthened his hands: "Wang Ying! You lustful fool, you almost ruined a big event, why didn't those people in Liangshan directly hack you to death!"

Sun Erniang's complexion was not good. Although this Wang Ying was good at martial arts, she was from the Che family. He saw a fortune on the way, killed the guests, and reverted to his old ways before. He wanted to rob the beautiful lady, which caused such a disaster. "If you really want to die, my husband and I won't waste it. Cut your big piece of good meat into yellow beef and sell it, and make small pieces of meat into stuffing and wrapping steamed buns. It's a treat!"

Wang Ying's face turned pale when he heard this, and he said weakly: "You two ancestors...don't scare me about this...I won't dare to do it again...besides, shouldn't Liang Shan be blamed for this...I didn't provoke Liang Shan at all. , do they manage more leniently than the imperial court? Why!"

At first he was still out of breath, but in the second half of the sentence he spoke at a normal speed, full of righteous indignation.

Zhang Qing frowned. He used to work as a farmer in a monastery, but later he killed the monks because of some trivial matters in life, and set fire to the temple. Received as son-in-law.

As for Sun Erniang, she has the handicraft handed down from the Sun family, and said with a cold snort: "I heard that Liangshan did not obey the rules and restrained us and other people in the rivers and lakes everywhere. Only after you chase after you will you know that you have surpassed everything and never failed!"

Wang Ying hissed: "Isn't it... Take it easy... Whoops... What are you doing!"

The three of them fought against each other, and Zhang Qing's hand was much lighter. After the initial dressing of the wound, Wang Ying regained some strength, and said bitterly: "I must avenge this hatred! I also know someone named Bao. Xu, he had no choice but to kill people in his life. The world compares him to the door god of mourning. He wanted to go to the dry tree mountain to fall grass, but he was kicked out by Liangshan, and he just happened to recruit him into the gang... We must unite, and we must not let Liangshan continue to grow, otherwise How can I be at ease in the future?"

Sun Erniang nodded, and Zhang Qing suddenly said: "I think that Song Yasi is a good man with great loyalty, and he has the status of an official of the court, so I can ask him to help..."

Wang Ying frowned and said, "Who is this Song Jiang?"

Zhang Qing briefly explained, and Sun Erniang suddenly rushed to the window, made a gesture, and listened attentively.

Soon the two of them also heard movement from outside, it was the loud knock on the door, and a loud voice came from afar: "Is there anyone in the village? Is there anyone in the village?"

"Not good! It's Naruda!"

Wang Ying was shocked and realized that it was Lu Da who was chasing him all the way and almost beat him to death. Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing also showed nervous expressions and held the weapons.

At this moment, Song Jiang's calm voice also sounded loudly: "Here we come! I don't know which friend it is, visiting at night?"

The three of them couldn't hear the voice behind them clearly, but they felt uneasy in their hearts, hesitating whether to run away.

Sun Erniang said in a low voice: "Song Jiang and my father just met by chance after all, and the friendship is very shallow. It is an act of loyalty to take us in at the risk. Now that the Liangshan hero comes to the door in person, even the government will give up three points. These Shandong landlords are especially afraid these days, so let's go!"

But Zhang Qing shook his head and said: "Wang Ying is so seriously injured, Liangshan is crowded with people, and there is a limit to advancing and retreating. If we go out rashly, I am afraid we will not be able to escape. We can only bet on this Song Gongming. A good man who is eager for justice and righteousness!"

Wang Ying gritted her teeth and said: "The big deal is to fight with them, I will never bow to Liangshan!"

Just as the three of them were ready to wait, the movement outside disappeared. After a while, there was a sound of unhurried footsteps, and someone came outside the house and said, "Three heroes, it's me, Song Jiang." !"

The three of them were still vigilant, watching Song Jiang push the door open, Zhang Qing asked, "How did Yasi Song make those people retreat?"

Song Jiangdao: "It's not difficult to say, I gave them the Order of Juyi, and they retreated..."

"Juyi order?"

The three of them were stunned, and Erniang Sun said in amazement: "Song Yasi knows that this is a certificate issued by Liangshan to the states and counties. The number is very rare. Many heroes in the world can't ask for it. I'm afraid you can get this token." It’s not easy, just give them directly like this?”

Only then did Song Jiang understand why Shi Wenbin emphasized the preciousness of the token and asked him to return it after it was used up. His heart sank, knowing that it might be difficult to explain to his superiors.

But there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. He didn't regret it, and he didn't show any embarrassment on his face. He still smiled and said, "I asked for it for your father. Now it belongs to the original owner of Liangshan. It's easy. What's more, what else is there?" The safety of the three is more important?"

The three of them looked at this black-faced official who seemed to be shining all over, and couldn't help showing their expressions. They looked at each other, Erniang Sun and his wife immediately supported Wang Ying, bowed their heads together: "Thank you, brother Gongming, for your kindness!"

"What is this again!"

Song Jiang hurriedly stretched out his hand and helped the three of them up. Everything flowed like clouds and flowing water, as if he was familiar with this style: "Please get up quickly! Please get up quickly!"
