Yuncheng.
"What? You were defeated? The county captain, Lei Dutou, and three hundred soldiers were all captured by the thieves?"
Shi Wenbin couldn't believe his ears. In broad daylight, there were thieves who dared to confront the officers and soldiers, and even captured them and demanded money to redeem them? This is simply lawless!
"My lord, the county magistrate, I have raised four thousand guan from my family, my family has raised two thousand guan, and the head of Leidu has also raised 1,000 guan. I beg your county magistrate to open the city gate and call the soldiers." I need to collect money and go to the city so that I can ransom people early, but I’m afraid I’ll be killed by thieves if I’m late!”
Zhu Tong said anxiously that it was still early before dawn to open the city gate, but he couldn't wait that long. If the time was delayed, Sun Lei would really dare to kill someone.
"Zhu Tong, you are also a government official. You need to know that officials and thieves are not at odds with each other! If you take the money, how will you suppress the thieves and bring peace to the people in the future? Govern one side? Where should the government put its face? Who is the leader of the thieves? I will write to Jeju immediately. The government asks the magistrate to send troops to suppress it!"
Shi Wenbin looked at Zhu Tong with an angry face. As an official of the imperial court, he was sworn in with evil!
"It's the Monkey King, Sun Lei, who is wanted by Captain Gao!"
Zhu Tong reluctantly reported the name of Liang Shanbo's current speaker.
"Monkey King Sun Lei? The one who killed Gao Yanei?"
Shi Wenbin was so frightened that he almost lost his seat and fell off the chair. He held the armrest for a while before he stabilized himself.
"This is this person. There are 800,000 forbidden troops in Tokyo City who can't touch him. We in Yuncheng County can't handle this matter! This person even killed Gao Yanei. He is definitely not a kind person. He will definitely dare to kill people if the time is delayed. For the sake of the county Wei, Lei Dutou and the rural soldiers, please ask the county magistrate to go to the city to raise money to save people."
Zhu Tong begged the county magistrate. A gentleman promised a large sum of money. If he promised to redeem someone, he would definitely do it.
"How can we open the city gate privately and invite people to enter the city before dawn? What if the Liangshan bandits are hiding outside the city and take the opportunity to break into the city?"
The county magistrate refused to open the city gate and call for soldiers to collect money. It was very suspicious for the thieves to let Zhu Tong back. It was most likely that they were plotting to break the city. If the city was broken, there would be rivers of blood and mountains of corpses, but he would never allow it. This kind of thing happens.
"How much money is left in Judutou?"
Next to the eucalyptus table on the side of the county government office, there is a man with eyes like red phoenixes and eyebrows like lying silkworms. There are beads hanging on the ears, and the bright eyes are dotted with paint. The lips are square and the mouth is straight, the mustache is light and the floor is light; the forehead is broad and the top is flat, and the skin and flesh are full. The man who looked like a tiger when he was sitting down and like a wolf when he was walking put down the pen in his hand and stood up and said. He was seen walking out from behind the eucalyptus table. He was six feet tall and had dark skin. He smiled at the magistrate and Zhu Dian and held his hands.
"Song Yasi, there is still four thousand guan left. It's just that Zhu Dian likes swords. He spent a lot of money on a good sword a while ago. Now the family really has no money left."
Zhu Tong looked at the visitor and politely raised his hands and said, the person he asked was Yuncheng Jiyu Songjiang Song Yasi.
Zhu Tong's family is relatively wealthy, but most of his property consists of fields and houses. He doesn't have much physical money at home, and spends a lot on buying swords. Now it is difficult to raise money in a hurry, and it is difficult to cash in such things as fields and houses. Otherwise, he would have these four thousand guan. Just go out directly.
"My lord, the county magistrate, please forgive Song Jiang Meng Lang, these four thousand strings came from Song Jiang!"
Song Jiang cupped his fists and saluted the county magistrate.
"Song Yasi is coming out?"
The county magistrate looked at Song Jiang in surprise. This four thousand guan was not a small sum of money. Song Jiang's monthly salary for a knife and pen clerk was less than ten guan. You must know that he, the county magistrate, only had a hundred guan.
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, Song Jiang has very little family wealth. Now that his colleagues are in trouble, we cannot sit idly by and ignore it. Please forgive Song Jiang and Meng Lang for his actions."
Song Jiang still saluted and bowed to the county magistrate with a very sincere tone, as if he had done something wrong and begged the superior for forgiveness.
"I have long heard that Song Gongming was generous in helping people in need, and he was known as Yuncheng's Timely Rain, Loyal, Filial and Black Saburo. This county has seen it today, and it is indeed well-deserved."
The county magistrate sighed, being able to directly help people with 4,000 yuan shows that Song Jiang's reputation is true and he is a good man who is generous and generous with money.
"The county magistrate has given me a reward. It's just a bad reputation. Everyone praises Song Jiang."
Song Jiang shook his head repeatedly. His family's four thousand guan qualifications were nothing. It was well worth the money to be able to help Zhu Tong and Lei Heng. Both of them were very capable. It was Yun. A well-known figure in the city.
"Thank you Song Gongming!"
Zhu Tong looked at Song Jiang with gratitude and wanted to bow down.
"Zhu Dutou, we are all colleagues in the same county government. We should help each other. Well, Song Jiang is still a bit thin-faced, so he will go with Zhu Dutou to redeem people!"
Song Jiang supported Zhu Tong and said, "Just do the whole thing. Since the money has been paid, it is better to show off to save face. It can be regarded as a life-long friendship with Zhu Tilei."
Zhu Tong was naturally overjoyed when he heard this. In time, Song Gongming's name spread throughout the world. Who among the people in the world would not give him some face after hearing this? Sun Lei is also a hero, so he might be able to save some face and not embarrass them.
After bidding farewell to the county magistrate, Zhu Tong and Song Jiang drove out of the city with money in their car after dawn.
It was not honorable for the officers and soldiers to be captured by thieves and asked for ransom, so Zhu Ding did not publicize it everywhere, and because he did not go to the soldiers' families to raise money, the news was temporarily suppressed.
"Zhu Dutou, Song Yasi!"
Chao Gai and Wu Yong were about to enter the city when they saw Zhu Dian and Song Jiang coming out and hurriedly greeted them.
"Chao Baozheng, what's wrong with coming to the city so early?"
When Song Jiang saw that it was Chao Gai who had arrived, he greeted him warmly. Chao Gai, the King of Pagodas, was also one of the famous heroes in Yuncheng.
"Zhu Dutou, I couldn't sleep last night. I couldn't think of a solution all night long. I felt really uneasy, so I had to send some money. I hope I can rescue Lei Dutou and the others as soon as possible!"
Chao Gai cupped his fists and said to Zhu Tong.
"Thank you Chao Bao for your kindness. The money has been raised with the help of Song Gongming."
Zhu Tong looked at Chao Gai gratefully and said.
"It turns out that timely rain and Song Gongming came to help, so Lei Dutou and the others are saved this time!"
Chao Gai looked at Zhu Tong and smiled and said, Song Jiang's reputation as a timely rain is greater than that of him, the King of Pagodas.
"Song Jiang is just trying his best!"
Song Jiang said modestly.
"Bao Zheng, it is better to rest in the city for a while. When the rescuer comes, Song Jiang will host a banquet for Bao Zheng!"
Song Jiang said to Chao Gai with a smile.
"Then Chao Gai is causing trouble!"
Chao Gai did not refuse. Song Jiang was a well-known hero in the world. He was generous with his wealth and helped friends in distress all over the world. He was also an official figure. The news was well-informed. It was definitely not a bad thing to make friends with Song Jiang.
Zhu Tong rushed to save people without talking to Chao Gaiduo. He and Song Jiang rode in the direction of Liangshanbo on horseback.
"Looks like we're late!"
Wu Yong looked at Zhu Tong and Song Jiang walking away and shook his head and said, this is the best opportunity to make friends with Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, and Song Jiang took advantage of this opportunity first.
"It doesn't matter. Since I've come to Yuncheng, I'm looking for some people in the world."
Chao Gai didn't care, he had already reached his heart today, Liangshanbo was approaching fiercely, and he had to prepare in advance to surpass Chaojiazhuang. It was necessary to make friends with some heroes.
"Baozheng, I know a few people..."
Wu Yong whispered in Chao Gai's ear.
"good!"
Chao Gai was overjoyed when he heard this. He smiled and entered Yuncheng with Wu Yong.
