Yuncheng. Qinbei Pavilion
Zhu Tong and Lei Heng guarded the city for several days without seeing any intrusion from Liangshan, and their worries finally fell.
As the Heroes Conference came to a perfect end, people from all walks of life dispersed one after another, and the spectators returned home. Yuncheng finally returned to normal.
On this day, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng were drinking in the courtyard. They had just received news that the new magistrate would arrive tomorrow.
"The county magistrate has finally arrived. I used to think that being a county magistrate was so majestic, but now it seems like it's so tiring. I might as well just sit back and relax."
Lei Heng took a sip of wine and complained that managing Yuncheng during this period of time had exhausted him to death.
"I heard that although the new magistrate is a civil official, he is a general. Many of his ancestors were in the army. He himself participated in the war with the Qiang people. He is a man of both civil and military skills."
Zhu Tong said.
"How can such a person be transferred to our Yuncheng county to be the county magistrate?"
Lei Heng was lost in the lake. According to Zhu Tong, this trustworthy magistrate was really great.
"Isn't he also here to destroy Liang Shanbo?"
Lei Heng suddenly felt bad. Liang Shanbo was in a terrible situation now. He trusted the county magistrate to not get too excited when he came. He wanted to suppress the bandits and perform meritorious service. He was not willing to be captured by Liangshan and used as a meat ticket, and his family had no money to ransom him again.
"I heard that he offended Grand Master Cai and was supposed to be demoted to Haizhou, but there was a vacancy in Yuncheng County, so he was transferred here."
Zhu Tong replied that Lei Heng was not willing to take care of things. During this period, he was handling the government affairs in Yuncheng. This information was obtained from Jeju.
"Du Tou, someone wants to see you!"
A soldier led people in and said.
"Brother Zhu Tong, brother Lei Heng!"
An idle man bowed to Zhu Tong and Lei Heng.
"Who are you!"
Zhu Tong glanced at Shi Yong and recognized him immediately.
"You guys go down first!"
Zhu Tong waved his hand and dismissed the soldiers.
"Aren't you General Shi Shi Yong?"
Lei Heng also recognized the person. Isn't this Shi Yong who robbed the birthday card with Chao Gai?
"Now that the limelight is on the rise, why are you here like this?"
Zhu Tong looked at Shi Yong and asked. Nowadays, cities all over the country are tightly guarded and are on guard against Liangshan Po. It is very dangerous for Shi Yong, a wanted criminal, to come to them so boldly.
"Whenever now, if this is discovered, we will both be doomed!"
Lei Heng hurriedly said, colluding with thieves is a serious crime. If Sun Lei from Liangshan Po made such a fuss, colluding with thieves on Jingxi East Road can already be punished by death.
"My two brothers, Brother Song Jiang and Brother Chao Gai sent me here. I would like to express my special thanks to these two brothers!"
Shi Yong smiled and handed the baggage on his back to Zhu Tong and Shi Yong.
Zhu Tong didn't answer it, but Lei Heng's eyes really shone. He took the bundle and found that it was full of hard goods. When he opened the bundle, he saw that all the golden items were gold bars.
"Brother Song Jiang and Brother Chao Gai specially send a hundred taels of gold to thank them for their help."
Shi Yong looked at Zhu Tong and Lei Heng and said.
"Brother Song Jiang and Brother Chao Gai are so polite. They are both brothers. How can we not save our brothers when we see them in trouble!"
Lei Heng smiled and hugged the bag of gold. This was a real help in times of need. He was short of money. Ever since he was captured alive by Liangshan, he had spent a lot of money to redeem himself. Recently, there has been constant turmoil in Liangshan, and all his gambling houses were swept away. , he didn’t have the chance to scratch money by taking the card, the gold was too timely.
"This is not why we are helping Brother Chao Gai and Brother Song Jiang! We have received your favor, but we cannot accept this gold!"
Zhu Tong refused, saying that he helped Chao Gai and Song Jiang out of loyalty, not for money.
"Brothers, just accept it, so that the younger brother can go back to work, right? Don't embarrass the younger brother."
Shi Yong shook his head repeatedly and said, if Zhu Tong doesn't accept the gold, he won't be able to do anything when he goes back.
"Brother Zhu Tong, brother Song Jiang and brother Chao Gai also have good intentions, so let's accept it."
Lei Heng, however, held on to the bag of gold and refused to let go.
"Brother Lei Heng is right, this is all from the heart."
Shi Yong said with a smile.
"I wonder how good brother Song Jiang is?"
Seeing that Lei Heng was holding the gold and not letting go, Zhu Tong could only look at Shi Yong helplessly and asked.
"Okay, Brother Song Jiang is now Luocao in Qingzhou. He gathered people from the four mountains in Erlong Mountain and defeated the Qingzhou soldiers. Now even Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng have gone up the mountain to join the gang. The village now has more than 30 leaders and more than 4,000 followers. , so prosperous!"
Shi Yong said with a proud look on his face, this is the reason why he came to Yuncheng blatantly. With Erlongshan's current strength, he is not afraid of a county town at all.
"Brother Song Jiang is indeed a timely helper. He has gained such strength in such a short period of time!"
Lei Heng was shocked when he heard this. When he saw Song Jiang some time ago, there were only a dozen people following Song Jiang, and there were no followers at all.
"Haha, Brother Song Jiang would also like to miss you two more, and I hope you two can come to the mountain to gather together!"
Shi Yong looked at Zhu Tong and Lei Heng and said that this was also one of his missions in Yuncheng, and he invited Zhu Tong and Lei Heng to go up the mountain.
"This... our family papers are both in Yuncheng, so I'm afraid we won't be able to go to Qingzhou."
Lei Heng smiled nonchalantly. He had just collected gold. He had a short mouth for eating people and a short hand for taking people, but he was unwilling to give up everything in Yuncheng.
"Don't think too much, you two. Brother Song Jiang is just a kind intention and has no intention of forcing you. Brother Song Jiang said that if you two have any ideas in the future, you can go at any time. Brother will sweep the couch to welcome you!"
Shi Yong said.
"Thank you, Brother Song Jiang, for your understanding!"
Lei Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brothers, I'll take my leave now."
Shi Yong didn't stay long. Lei Heng's worry just now was not without reason. Now that he was out of control, he was naturally not afraid of being wanted. However, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng were different. As Yuncheng, they both had too much to worry about.
"Brother Shi Yong, why don't you stay and rest for the night? With the two of us here, you don't have to worry about anything in Yuncheng."
Zhu Tong felt a little uncomfortable and said.
"Thank you both, but I still have letters to send to Brother Song Jiang's home."
Shi Yong smiled and shook his head.
Zhu Tong and Lei Heng were worried that Shi Yong would be recognized by the city guards when he left the city, so they personally sent Shi Yong out of the city.
"Brother Song Jiang and Brother Chao Gai really know what I'm worried about!"
Lei Heng touched the bundle on his back, feeling the cold touch of gold inside, and sighed.
"Brother Song Jiang has fallen into disgrace in Qingzhou, and Sun Lei has taken possession of Liangshan Po. I'm afraid this land in Shandong will be in chaos!"
Zhu Tong had a complicated expression on his face. The peaceful Shandong Province had become turbulent since the birth of Sun Lei. Now, with the addition of Song Jiang Luocao, it has become even more complicated.
"What's the matter? If the sky falls, there will be a high one to hold it up. Above us are the county magistrates and magistrates, and above us are the transfer envoys and high-ranking officials and emperors in Tokyo! It's not our turn to worry about these things."
Lei Heng didn't care, he was just a small leader in Yuncheng. If Sun Lei was just a bandit village with a hundred people, then he should have a headache, because this matter is under his control, but now Sun Lei is already a giant bandit. , not even the state and imperial troops could do anything about it, and it had nothing to do with him being in the county seat.
"Having said that, Liangshan is under Yuncheng County after all. In future encirclement and suppression campaigns, half of them will be surrounded by troops around Yuncheng."
Zhu Tong said that it was impossible for them to be involved in this war, but it was difficult for them to be alone in Yuncheng.
"So, the Thirty-six Strategies are the best!"
Lei Heng immediately thought of leaving, and joining Song Jiang was a good way out.
"Dongdongdong!"
A gong sounded, and Zhu Tong and Lei Heng looked for the sound in surprise.
