Gao Kan made a mistake. It can be said that he underestimated the extent to which the Song Dynasty hid wealth among the people.
He really didn't expect that Tian Mi could get him so much food. He originally thought that a batch of only a few thousand or just over 10,000 dan would be enough for Hong Jiang and his group to escort him.
Now that something like this has happened, there is no extra manpower available, and I can't trust anyone else.
Therefore, for the current plan, it is extremely important to determine the whereabouts of Jiang Jing and his gang as well as Yang Zhi and Lu Zhichong as soon as possible.
After arranging Tian Mi to go to Hongjiang to find a boat, Gao Kan pulled Lin Chong and said: "Coach Lin, this batch of grain is too large and cannot be escorted according to the original plan. We don't have enough manpower. We must confirm the second boss and Coach Yang as soon as possible." Only then can someone transport the food up the mountain."
"I understand, but now Coach Yang and Senior Brother Lu have been out for several days, and Daming Mansion is closed. Where can we find them?" Lin Chong asked hurriedly.
Gao Kan thought about it for a while and concluded in his heart: "If everything goes well for Coach Yang and the others, they should have solved the siege of the second master and the others by now and come to Daming Mansion."
"The four gates of Daming Mansion are closed and they can't get in. Before Coach Yang left, I told him about escorting the food. If they find they can't enter the city on their return, they may go to the dock. In this way, you can go to the dock and walk for a while. Let’s go and see if we can find their whereabouts. If they are there, bring them into the city. If they are not, we will come back to discuss it.”
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Lin Chong said and set off immediately.
Let's say that Gao Kan asked Lin Chong to go out of the city to the dock to look for Yang Zhi and others, but Yang Zhi and others were blocked from advancing or retreating outside the city.
The group of people dressed up in disguise and carefully arrived at Daming Mansion. Seeing that the four gates of the city were tightly closed, they had to find a nearby place to stay.
After waiting for a day, Lu Zhishen became impatient on the second day and called Yang Zhi and Jiang Jing to discuss.
"The four gates of Daming Mansion are currently closed. We don't know anything about the situation in the city. When will we be able to wait outside?"
Yang Zhi said: "But we have no news about the young master, and it is difficult to sneak in with so many people, so what can we do if we don't wait?"
Hearing this, Jiang Jing frowned and said worriedly: "We people put on a lot of disguises to settle down here, but it is not a long-term solution. It makes people realize that if a disaster is imminent, it is better to think about it early." "
Lu Zhishen said in a dull voice: "The Sa family will go to the city gate tomorrow to call the door, and we want to see who dares to stop him!"
"Master, don't act impulsively!"
Seeing that Lu Zhishen was about to commit a crime, Yang Zhi and Jiang Jing quickly advised him in unison.
"Then what do you think we should do? We have to consider this and worry about that. Are we just sitting here waiting for news?" Lu Zhishen said angrily.
"I think we'll have to wait a little longer. I'll go to the city gate to inquire about it later. At least I'll know why the city gate is closed so I can make some calculations." Yang Zhi said solemnly.
The two of them had no other choice but to do this first.
There was nothing going on, and he spent half a day leisurely at the place where he stayed. In the afternoon, Lu Zhishen couldn't bear it anymore, so he went out looking for a drink with Yang Zhi and Jiang Jing on his back.
I walked out all the way and found a roadside wine shop. I sat down and shouted, "Housekeeper, make a jar of good wine and cut two kilograms of beef!"
The waiter in the shop heard the sound and hurriedly came out to report: "Sorry, sir, there are many customers today. There is not much wine left in the shop. It is only enough for half a jar. The meat is gone and there are only two handfuls of beans left. What do you want?" Don’t you want to give in?”
"How can you open a shop without wine or meat? Why don't Sajia help you tear it down!"
Lu Zhishen was originally unhappy, so he finally sneaked out for a drink, but there wasn't enough wine and no meat. How could he not be upset?
The waiter in the shop hurriedly apologized and said: "Please calm down, grandpa. It's not that I don't want to serve grandpa. It's actually that the city gate has been closed these days and people are crowded together. There are several times more customers than usual. The amount of wine in the shop is still It was hard to find old wine and meat in the past. It was really..."
The waiter in the shop told the truth that he was also a miserable man. Although Lu Zhishen was upset, he couldn't express his anger at him.
He had no choice but to say: "That's all, bring as much wine as you want, you can just drink it dry."
"Thank you for your kindness, grandpa. I'll get you some wine right now." The waiter in the shop felt like he was being pardoned and hurriedly went in to get the wine.
Lu Zhishen was sitting in front of the shop waiting, his bull's eye sweeping across the street, staring at the crowds of people coming and going, and the more he looked at it, the more irritated he became.
Just at this time, I saw three more bullies coming over, shouting as they entered the store.
"Xiaoer, grandpa is here to drink. Why don't you bring some good wine and meat?"
The waiter had just gone in and picked up the last half of the jar of wine for Lu Zhishen. When he went out, he saw these three people and hurriedly said with a smile: "I've disappointed some grandpas. The wine in the store has been sold out today, and the last half of the jar also belongs to the great master." , It’s really gone, so I’d like to invite some grandpas to come back tomorrow.”
"What? Grandpa comes to your place to have a drink because he likes you. Dare you say he doesn't?"
The leading rogue immediately refused to give in. He straightened up and kicked the waiter to the ground. He cursed, "What kind of bullshit master dares to steal a drink from me?"
The waiter was kicked so hard that the wine jar rolled to the ground, right at Lu Zhishen's feet.
The sealing paper on the mouth of the jar was originally opened and covered, but it could not be sealed with this roll. All the wine inside spilled out, and the fragrance of the wine stained the whole floor.
Lu Zhishen's heart ached when he looked at it, and his temper was not smooth.
He thought to himself that he could only eat half a jar of wine, and there was a bird-baking thing that appeared out of nowhere, making him unable to even take a bite.
He was so angry that he turned around and cursed: "How dare a dog-like thing call you master?"
"Oh, you are really a great monk. You are a thief and a bald donkey. If you don't become your monk on the mountain, you can eat fast and chant Buddha. What kind of wine can you drink when you go down the mountain? I'm afraid you are not a flower monk!"
The leading rogue laughed wildly.
The two companions also agreed, pointing at Lu Zhishen and ridiculing him.
Lu Zhishen couldn't bear it anymore. He stepped forward, reached out and pinched the leading rogue in his hand, and said angrily: "I asked you to come to seek death, and I'll take a punch from Sajia!"
He raised his hand and punched directly in the face. The scoundrel's skin was immediately torn, and his face was covered with blood, snot, and tears.
The other two thugs saw this and joined forces to attack.
Lu Zhishen only kicked him one at a time, and he was thrown away. He fell to the ground and rolled several times, but he could only see that he was breathing, but not necessarily taking in any air.
Looking at the one in my hand, I couldn't find it anywhere. I felt bored and threw it on the ground. I turned back to pick up the wine jar with heartache to see if there was any left in it.
The waiter had never seen such a scene before. He was so frightened that he said: "Master, something is wrong. You are in trouble!"
Lu Zhishen frowned when he heard the sound, and then he remembered that he was beaten happily, but he hurt someone, how could he escape?
Jiang Jing and his dozens of people are still out of sight and cannot go back.
It's just a worry, why don't we just take advantage of the fact that there aren't many people nearby and find a way to leave first, so as not to drag others down.
Just at this moment, a call came from the distance.
"Senior Brother Lu, you are here, you make it easy for me to find you!"
