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

Chapter 11
When Zhao Tun returned to the middle hall, Su Shi came to report that the monk Caitou of Daxiangguo Temple had been found.

It turned out that that day, Zhao Tuo ordered Su Shi to look for Lu Zhishen, but he was not in the vegetable garden at all. Zhao Tuo thought that he should be chasing Lin Chong, so he divided his men into two groups, one heading towards Cangzhou, and the other waiting around the vegetable garden. .

In the end, he was blocked on the way back to Tokyo. This Lu Zhishen rescued Lin Chong in the wild boar forest, but he also showed his traces.

He knew that the escort guards' guesses were unreliable, but he didn't expect that after leaving, Lin Chong even slipped his mouth. The two guards secretly sent letters back and sold him out.

Su Shi sent people to block Lu Zhishen, and almost started to fight, until Yu Longzhi's guards said that the second king wanted to see him, not Gao Qiu, and showed his waist card, he followed into the city dubiously.

Zhao Tong knew that there were roughly three types of people in Liangshan. One was officials. They were originally officials, but they were forced to go to Liangshan. Some were forced by the court, and some were forced by Song Jiang.

The second type is people from the rivers and lakes and forests. Some kill people, set fire to their houses, rob houses and sell buns made of human flesh, and some play tricks and sell dog skin plasters.

The three are powerful gentry and powerful local households.

Among them, the first type is easier to fight for and easier to use, especially those who have been in the army, and they are the first people Zhao Tuo wants to gather.

He had a good impression of Lu Zhi. Apart from being reckless, this man had a good character. The most important thing was that he had been in the Western Army!

The most capable Western Army in the entire Song Dynasty is an important pioneer in the future against the Jin soldiers going south. Although it was defeated in the end in history, this is the Water Margin, and with him, maybe something will change.

Zhao Tun walked to the front hall, and after a while, Su Shi introduced a big fat monk, but he saw that this monk was wearing a blue-gray monk's robe, wearing blue-and-white monk's shoes, with a string of fist-sized prayer beads on his neck, and the tattoo on half of his shoulder was exposed. .With a bald head and ring scars, a round face with big earlobes, a beard around his cheeks, a body that is eight feet long, and a waist that is ten girth wide.

Lu Zhi entered the hall deeply, and saw Zhao Tun at a glance. He was from the army and had served as a minister, so he naturally understood etiquette, so he didn't talk too much at the moment. He threw away the water-polished Zen staff, took off the saber, and bowed down in the tunnel: "Ruda has met the Second Great King!"

Zhao Tang glanced at the Zen stick and saber that was thrown aside, and after calling him to get up, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Since you are dressed like this, I will call you Zhishen, but you are a bit ostentatious with your outfit."

Lu Zhishen said: "I also let the second great king know that Zhishen was born in the army. If he doesn't have weapons in his hands, he has no confidence in his mind. Even if he walks on the road, he will always be unsteady."

Seeing that he didn't call him Sajia, Zhao Tang knew that he was also a man of etiquette, and said: "This king knows about your past, but you escaped from the army after committing a crime, and now you are eviling Gao Qiu again in this Tokyo city, have you ever thought about it?" Where will the future go?"

Lu Zhishen was silent, he thought in his heart that if he could not become a monk, he would go up the mountain and join the gang, but how could he say such words in front of the young prince.

He stretched out his hand to touch his bald head, and said, "How does the Second Great King know about my past?"

Zhao Tong said: "I know it, don't ask, now I value you, and I want to give you a clear way, are you willing?"

Lu Zhishen said: "If there is a clear way, naturally I will not occupy the mountain and become king."

Su Shi next to him twitched when he heard the words, and interjected, "Monk Mang, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Lu Zhi took a deep look at Su Shi, and was about to refute a few words, only to realize that he had made a slip of the tongue, and couldn't help saying: "The second king values ​​it, so he told the truth, and there is only one thing to do when there is no way out."

Zhao Tong said with a smile: "It's okay, I like your temperament, Zhishen, let me ask you, would you like to go back to the army?"

The monk was overjoyed when he heard it, and quickly said: "If you find this way out again, you will be born again!"

Zhao Tong said: "Now that I am in charge of the Imperial Army, the Northwest will naturally want to sell face, I can write a letter to let you return to the army, but Weizhou will not return, or go to the old businessman again, would you like it? "

Lu Zhishen heard that there was no reason for his reluctance, and bowed down again: "It all depends on the second king."

Zhao Tong said: "You stay at the mansion for a day or two, and it won't be too late to leave after I finish writing the letter."

At this moment, Lei San came to report suddenly outside the door, saying that Huang Gu in Suiyulou asked to see him.

The Broken Jade Tower is called a building, and it is indeed a building. On the surface, it is a jewelry and jade business, but in the dark, it is a place where Zhao Tong gathers people from all directions and collects information.

Similarly, the Broken Jade Building has also involved the underground forces in Tokyo. As the largest city in the world today, Tokyo has a mixed population of fish and snakes. There has always been a saying that there are three tigers in the inner city and five snakes in the outer city.

These underground forces not only stir up troubles in the rivers, lakes and green forests, but even have hands and eyes to the sky, backed by the nobles of the court, they are unscrupulous for a while.

Suiyulou wants to do jewelry and jade business in Tokyo City, and also needs to collect information. It is absolutely impossible not to get involved in this kind of force. After its establishment, it has fought several times. People dare to move.

Zhao Tang looked at the man rushing in from the door, but he was a burly man with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a lion nose and wide mouth. He was Huang Gu, the owner of Suiyulou.

Huang Gu stepped forward and bowed, Zhao Tang saw that his arm seemed to be injured, and said: "Tell me what's going on slowly."

Huang Gu said: "My lord, I really can't hold back this time, Qi Xinghui is determined to see our hole cards!"

The Seven Stars Association is one of the three tigers in the inner city of Tokyo. It has a huge influence and is mainly engaged in the business of water transportation and distribution.

Zhao Tong wondered: "What kind of wind does this Seven Star have? It's not the mangy dog ​​of Jinfengtang, it's always difficult to deal with."

Huang Gu smiled wryly and said: "I suspect that the Seven Stars Association was used by the Golden Wind Hall. We and the Seven Stars Association have always dealt with the Golden Wind Hall. This time they came out of nowhere and were aggressive. It is impossible to say that no one fanned the flames. .”

Zhao Tun pondered for a moment and said, "Can you reveal the news about Mr. Huang?"

Huang Gu said: "I revealed a thing or two, but how can they believe it? My father's aloofness is well known to everyone. In the eyes of outsiders, he would never have anything to do with Suiyulou, let alone Suiyulou. The backstage roots of Yulou."

Zhao Tong said: "Although this is the case, after all, the old scholar Huang is a close official of the official family, and now he is favored by compiling the Wanshou Dao Cang, not to mention that your son is also a fake one. Someone should have confirmed the news and knew that there is another person."

Huang Gu was stunned for a moment, and said: "Master Mingjian!"

Zhao Tong said: "Since that's the case, let's meet them for a while, and I just happened to expose the root of the Seven Stars Club."

Huang Gu said: "My lord, is Qi Xing one of Han Xiaohou's men?"

Zhao Tong shook his head: "Not all, there should be someone behind, otherwise, how can he fight against Cai's Jinfengtang on his own!"

After Zhao Tong finished speaking, he looked at Lu Zhishen who was beside him. Lu Zhishen was confused at the moment. The green forests, rivers and lakes in the world are the most complicated in the capital, often colluding with each other and intertwined, which is far less straightforward than the outside world.

Zhao Tong said: "Zhishen can go to fight at night?"

Lu Zhishen said: "Very good, this Zhishen is good at it!"

Zhao Tong said with a smile: "A feast of wine, enough to eat and drink to kill people!"
