Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 254 Song Jiang: Chao Gai giegie... [2 more]

Yuncheng County.

A dozen dishevelled, ragged men, looking like beggars, staggered along the official road towards the city gate.

They deliberately kept their distance.

The two men walking in front were one with a big frame and the other holding a bald fan.

It was Chao Gai, the "Tower-Bearing Heavenly King", and Wu Yong, the "Smart Star", who acted separately from Liu Tang and Xue Yong.

Chao Gai nervously observed his surroundings while talking to Wu Yong in a low voice:

"Military Advisor, I'm sorry about what happened in Shijie Village. I can't persuade them..."

Chao Gai and Wu Yong did not support the massacre of Shijie Village.

They are different from Liu Tang and Xue Yong.

Liu Tang and Xue Yong were both outsiders, but Chao Gai and Wu Yong were native locals.

Wu Yong, in particular, lived in Shijie Village for a long time.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried to recruit the three Ruan brothers into his gang.

So when Liu Tang and Xue Yong wanted to massacre the village, Chao Gai and Wu Yong both opposed it.

But there was no way, the vast majority of people supported Liu Tang and Xue Yong.

The final result that Chao Gai and Wu Yong achieved was that Liu Tang and Xue Yong only retaliated against the young and strong people in Shijie Village, and did not touch the elderly, children, women and children.

This is a very bad signal.

Although most people support Liu Tang and Xue Yong because they want revenge.

But it also shows that Chao Gai, as the leader, did not have absolute control.

If Liu Tang and Xue Yong join forces, they can compete with Chao Gai.

Chao Gai had no idea what to do about this.

After all, this group of minions were received from Zhu Hu.

Even if he wanted to control it, sometimes he couldn't...

"Brother, I understand..."

Wu Yong sighed.

He did not blame Chao Gai for anything, after all, it was Shijie Village that took the first action.

It was right for Liu Tang and Xue Yong to retaliate.

If it wasn't his second hometown, he wouldn't care...

However, although Chao Gai once again stood firmly on his side, he still felt disappointed in Chao Gai.

It was pure chance that Chao Gai became the leader of Liangshanpo.

In fact, Chao Gai did not have this ability.

Originally, Wu Yong thought that Chao Gai was someone he could assist.

But after spending more time together, he gradually saw through Chao Gai:

You can be a brother, but you are definitely not a wise leader.

But after all, he and Chao Gai had once shared hardships.

He couldn't bear to leave Chao Gai before he met a wise leader.

Chao Gai patted Wu Yong's shoulder, which was as thin as a blade.

He couldn't see what Wu Yong was thinking, so he could only pat him on the shoulder.

This made Wu Yong even more disappointed.

What he needs now is not a pat on the shoulder, but a direction in life.

He needs a guide!

But Chao Gai is still waiting for him to show the way...

So Wu Yong started a new topic:

"Brother, can we really trust Song Gongming, the timely rain?"

"He and I are close brothers, so we should be able to..."

What Chao Gai said was a bit untrue.

Although he and Song Jiang did have a good relationship, he had a feeling:
Song Jiang is a person who cannot be used to plan big things.

There is no reason, it's just a feeling.

Otherwise, for such a major event as the capture of the birthday gift, why would he rather trust strangers Liu Tang and Xue Yong and not say a word to his close brother Song Jiang?

But he still came to find Song Jiang.

He needs Song Jiang's support and also needs to get information from Song Jiang...

Wu Yong could tell Chao Gai was a little nervous, and just as he was about to persuade him to give up, he heard Chao Gai exclaim:

"Isn't it a coincidence?"

……

At the gate of Yuncheng County, Song Jiang arrived early in the morning and squatted at the gate waiting as soon as the gate opened.

"Yashi, you didn't sleep all night?"

The soldiers guarding the gate were moved by his red eyes:

He deserves to be a bailiff!
Who could put so much effort into flattery?

Who could put so much effort into flattery?
"Ah, I didn't sleep well..."

Song Jiang agreed and twisted his stiff neck twice.

He didn't expect that Liu Gao didn't come back all night...

Song Jiang couldn't sleep without Liu Gao coming back:
This shows that the battle situation ahead is very intense!

Suddenly, two disheveled, ragged beggars came in front of him and blocked his view.

Accustomed to maintaining his persona of timely rain, Song Jiang skillfully took out a piece of silver and handed it to the beggar:
"Use it to buy food!"

However, what he didn't expect was that one of the beggars didn't take the silver, but grabbed his hand.

Song Jiang subconsciously looked at the beggar.

When their eyes met, Song Jiang couldn't help but gasp:
"Giegie..."

It was so exciting that Song Jiang even lost his voice...

Chao Gai nodded.

Song Jiang's face changed drastically. He looked around hurriedly, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he whispered:
"Brother, this is not the place to talk!
"You come with me!"

After saying that, Song Jiang stood up and walked out of the city.

Chao Gai and Wu Yong followed him closely.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Yan Po came to find Song Jiang again without giving up.

In order to help her daughter marry into a wealthy family, she clung to Song Jiang like a plaster.

Song Jiang was annoyed by the stickiness.

When they arrived at the city gate, Yan Po didn't see Song Jiang, so she looked around and happened to see Song Jiang's back.

broken!

Yan Po has seen countless people and has a very sharp eye!

She could see at a glance that a dozen dishevelled and ragged beggars were following Song Jiang closely!

If something happened to Song Jiang, wouldn't it be in vain that her daughter Yan Poxi recognized Song Jiang as her sworn brother?
Without her sworn brother Song Jiang to help her pimp, how could her daughter have climbed into the bed of the county magistrate?
"It's not good, it's not good!"

Yan Po quickly grabbed the gatekeeper and said:
"The bailiff was taken away by a group of thieves!"

"What?" The soldiers guarding the gate were questioning a group of traveling merchants. They were startled by her words and looked around hurriedly:

"Where is the bailiff?"

"There! There!"

Yan Po pointed in the direction Song Jiang was walking:

Only then did I realize that the little black fat man had disappeared at some point.

Since they didn't see Song Jiang being robbed, the gatekeepers' attention was drawn away by the people entering the city.

Yan Po was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Just at this moment, the previous county lieutenant came out of the city gate.

He had been transferred by Shi Wenbin, and Zhu Tong took his place, but he had not left Yuncheng yet.

Seeing Yan Po's panic and anxiety, the county lieutenant asked a question and Yan Po told him.

When the county lieutenant heard this, he said: What a good opportunity!

A group of beggars wanted to rob Song Jiang, so he could just say that they were the rebels from Liangshanpo who wanted to kidnap a bailiff!
He was the one who saved Song Jiang, so it would be hard to expose him, right?
Even if you go to see Shi Wenbin with great achievements, you still won’t be promoted to a higher level?
The plan goes through!
"I'll go find some help!"

The county lieutenant told Yan Po: "You stay here and don't move!"

So Yan Po waited for him at the city gate.

In a short while, the county lieutenant found thirty or forty familiar officials.

"go!"

The county lieutenant and Yan Po hurried to the direction where Song Jiang disappeared...

……

Village shop.

"Is there really such a thing?"

In the private room, Song Jiang was stunned after listening to Chao Gai and Wu Yong's account of the whole process:
So what my husband said was true?

No, my husband even said it was too little!

Not only did the husband organize the fishermen to burn the boats of Liangshanpo, he even burned the food and grass of Liangshanpo!

No wonder my husband was so sure that the Liangshanpo rebels had eaten up all their food and had been hungry for half a month!

Chao Gai nodded:

“We heard this news from the government troops, but we don’t know whether it is true or not.

“But it must be true.

"Otherwise, why would the three Ruan brothers from Shijie Village suddenly turn against Liangshanpo?"

"This……"

Song Jiang was stunned at that time!
He suddenly realized that Liu Gao might be good at strategy besides being lustful!
"It would be unworthy of a gentleman not to avenge this!"

Chao Gai told Song Jiang solemnly:
“We are going to Qingzhou!

"Before I leave, I want revenge!

"Brother, can you lend me a hand?"

"I……"

Song Jiang was in a bad state:
I treat you as a brother, but you treat me as a fool?
If I help you kill the county magistrate, can I still be an official?
Although Song Jiang's expression did not change, he hesitated for a moment, and Wu Yong understood:
"Brother, you misunderstood!

"We just want to ask Brother to inform us of the dog official's movements. We have no other intentions!"

"Well……"

Song Jiang was vague.

In order to maintain his image as "Timely Rain", he really values ​​brotherhood!
But the character of "Timely Rain" was actually his second-hand preparation!
The ultimate goal is to become an official!

It’s equivalent to “saving the country by taking a roundabout way”!
But he can obviously become an official now with his own ability, why does he want to save the country in a roundabout way?

He could choose not to report Chao Gai, could sit with Chao Gai and drink, and could even provide Chao Gai with gold and silver!
He could even tip off Chao Gai!

But what was Chao Gai thinking by letting him participate in the murder of the county magistrate?

He wants to be an official, not a bandit!

Chao Gai was very disappointed.

He originally thought that he and Song Jiang were close brothers and that Song Jiang would agree to his request without hesitation.

But now it seems that he took Song Jiang seriously, but Song Jiang treated him as the intestine in his stomach!
When you need it, it's all viscera, when you don't need it, it's just dirt!

Then we can only settle for the next best thing...

Chao Gai sighed: "Brother, this is really difficult for you!
"In this case, I only ask..."

"boom--"

Just then, a group of people broke into the hotel!
A woman's sharp voice rang out:

"It's them!
"The bailiff was taken away by them!"

Then a man's duck voice followed:

"The government is arresting the rebels at Liangshanpo!

"Catch them!"

What?
Song Jiang was stunned at that time!

It was Wu Yong who reacted immediately:

"broken!
"Brother, this black fellow betrayed us!"

"brute!"

Chao Gai was furious and rushed forward with an electric cannon!

It hit Song Jiang right on the eye socket!
At that time, one of Song Jiang's eyes turned into a panda eye!

My head is buzzing and the sky is full of little stars!

Chao Gai stood up and overturned the table. Just as he was about to chase Song Jiang, the door of the private room was suddenly kicked open!
"Liangshanpo rebels!"

The county lieutenant appeared at the door of the private room in a majestic manner, holding a blood-stained machete in his hand:

"Let go of the bailiff!"

"Gaba!"

Chao Gai broke the table leg with one hand and rushed forward to fight with the county lieutenant!
Wu Yong went out to take a look:
"Brother, there are only public servants outside!
"Let's go!"

"Oh!"

Chao Gai hit the county lieutenant in the chest with a table leg, causing him to retreat repeatedly!

He took the opportunity to rush out of the private room!
As expected, this small village shop was packed with officials!
Three or four officials fighting a small minion!
The dozen or so minions he brought with him were completely suppressed and beaten!
"go!"

Chao Gai had no choice but to fight his way out with Wu Yong!

While running, he yelled at the top of his lungs:

"Timely Rain has only a false reputation, and Hu Baoyi is unkind and unjust!

"Song Jiang, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!

"I, Chao Gai, was blind to regard you as my brother!"

Chao Gai?

The county lieutenant held his chest and was about to go up, but he was stunned when he heard the name:

Are they really the rebels of Liangshanpo?
Who can afford to offend him?

"Fuck me!"

The county lieutenant yelled, "Catch the Liangshanpo bandit leader Chao Gai!"

Song Jiang was also dumbfounded: My fame in this life...
