The Most Powerful Man in the World

It can be seen that Gongsun Sheng's arrangement is clear, and it is also the best way to deal with it at the moment, Chao Gai immediately said to Liu Tang: "Liu Tang, please go and invite the Ruan brothers to come, and say that there is something important. business."

Liu Tang obviously knew the priorities, and even clasped his fists and said: "Several brothers, Liu Tang will go to invite the Ruan brothers to come."

Watching Liu Tang's figure go away, Chao Gai summoned several of Zhuangzhong's confidants and ordered them to go to Bai Sheng's house to find Bai Sheng.

After all this was settled, Wu Yong said, "Brother Gongsun has arranged it properly, but we have to plan for the worst."

Chao Gai glanced at Wu Yong and nodded: "Yes, what Brother Wu Yong said is not bad, we really have to plan for the worst, if the government really wins Bai Sheng, it will prove that we have been targeted by the government. , must leave before the government takes any action."

Saying that, Chao Gai said with a bold expression: "This trip is nothing more than finding a place to fall, and it is a pleasure to have all the brothers with you!"

After all, Song Jiang was also an officer in charge of the government. As a result, Chao Gai and several people discussed the matter of being a pirate in front of him. Even Song Jiang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Noticing the change in Song Jiang's expression, Chao Gai immediately turned to Song Jiang and said, "It made Yasi laugh!"

Song Jiang hurriedly said: "Where did Brother Chao Gai say, all of you are heroes, even if it falls, it is forced by the current situation. My brother led someone to rob the traitor's birthday, but on the rivers and lakes, he is very famous. His big brother will definitely be famous all over the world, and when he mentions his big name, he will definitely praise him."

Shijie Village, where the Ruan brothers lived, was not far from Dongxi Village. With Liu Tang’s footsteps, they arrived at Shijie Village in about half an hour, and found the Ruan brothers who had returned from fishing.

When the three Ruan brothers learned from Liu Tang's mouth that they had robbed the birthday guide, they were first shocked and then calmed down.

As the eldest brother, Ruan Xiaoer has a stable temperament. Even though his wife, children, and children were arranged, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi came to see Chao Gai and the others.

By the time they arrived at Dongxi Village, the sky had already dimmed. At this time, Chao Gaizheng left Song Jiang to chat in the village. There was a sound of footsteps, and then a straightforward voice said: "I heard that. Song Gongming, who is famous all the way to Shandong, is here, and Ruan Xiaoqi is here!"

Among the three brothers, Ruan Xiaoqi has the most straightforward temperament. He always has something to say, and he can't hide things in his heart. Knowing that Song Jiang is here from Liu Tang's mouth, Ruan Xiaoqi is naturally very curious and has not entered the door yet. shouted out loud.

However, Ruan Xiaoqi's character is not annoying at all. After all, a straight-hearted person like Ruan Xiaoqi can be said to be everyone's willingness to make friends. After all, no one wants their friends to be thoughtful people.

Hearing Ruan Xiaoqi's voice, Chao Gai immediately said to Song Jiang, "This is Xiao Qi, it seems that the Ruan brothers have arrived!"

Song Jiang hurriedly got up and walked out of the living room with Chao Gai to greet him. By the light of the fire, he could vaguely see several figures striding forward.

Song Jiang was no stranger to Liu Tang walking in front, but the three brothers who followed Liu Tang saw Song Jiang's eyes light up, and couldn't help but secretly praised him.

The Ruan brothers are good-looking. It can be said that among the people in Liangshan, they are rare decent figures, and they are definitely not comparable to the villains such as Wang Ying, Sun Erniang, and Zhang Qing who enjoy cannibalism.

The Ruan brothers naturally saw Song Jiang who came out with Chao Gai. Ruan Xiaoer immediately stepped forward to give Chao Gai a salute, and then said to Song Jiang: "The Ruan brothers have seen Brother Gongming!"

Chao Gai introduced to Song Jiang from the side: "This is Ruan Xiaoer, the Taisui Taisui, Ruan Xiaowu, the short-lived Erlang, and Ruan Xiaoqi, the living Yanluo, all of them are famous men!"

Song Jiang sighed: "Song Jiang is lucky to have the predestined relationship with all the brothers, so happy, so happy!"

Entering the room, everyone took their seats, and then Chao Gai told the Ruan brothers what happened in detail.

When Ruan Xiaoqi heard that the news was leaked, she said bluntly: "If you want me to say, Wu Xuejie said it well, except for Bai Sheng, I really can't think of who the news leaked from!"

Ruan Xiaoer immediately shouted: "Xiao Qi, don't talk nonsense!"

Song Jiang looked at the Ruan brothers with a smile on his face, and Chao Gai said, "Xiao Qi is outspoken, and everyone won't care. Besides, the pedant also said that the Bai Sheng brothers have the greatest possibility of leaking news."

Ruan Xiaowu said, "Isn't it possible to find out if Brother Bai Sheng came and asked?"

Just as he was talking, he saw a figure hurriedly approaching. It was one of the few Zhuang Dings that Chao Gai had sent to look for Bai Sheng.

Seeing Chao Gai, this person said with a panicked expression: "It's not a good thing to protect Zhengzheng, Bai Sheng... Bai Sheng was taken away by the officials."

"what?"

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked. Although they said they were prepared, when they really learned that Bai Sheng had been taken away by the government, Chao Gai and the others were still shocked.

Chao Gai took a deep breath and said, "Have you ever found out why Brother Bai Sheng was captured, when and who did it!"

Nazhuang Ding said: "It is said that an official surnamed He led the team and arrested Bai Sheng and his wife about two days ago. It is said that the thieves were found in Bai Sheng's house."

After further questioning, Chao Gai waved the Zhuang Ding back, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn.

Now, combined with the news of Bai Sheng's arrest and the news brought by Song Jiang, everyone is finally sure that the news of the robbery of Sheng Chengang has been known to the government, and it is impossible to say when the officers and soldiers who arrest them will appear.

Song Jiang looked at Chao Gai and said, "Brother Chao Gai, please make a decision early, if there is no accident, the county magistrate will definitely welcome Chu Yi and his party today, and if they join He Tao and his party, at most tomorrow, the official army will The troops will definitely come to Dongxi Village!"

Just as Song Jiang and Chao Gai were discussing how to deal with the current situation in Dongxi Village, in the largest restaurant in Yuncheng County, Shi Wenbin, the magistrate of Yuncheng County, was entertaining Chu Yi and his party.

Chu Yi sat opposite Shi Wenbin and looked at the parent official of Yuncheng County, saying that Shi Wenbin can be regarded as a maverick in the current officialdom.

Compared with most corrupt officials, Shi Wenbin felt that he was an honest official. He was an honest official, always had a benevolent heart, and fought for money and land.Fighting and fighting, the decision was made on the priority. Compared with many officials in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, it was not bad to say that the Qingming officials were not bad.

In addition to Shi Wenbin and several powerful figures in the county, there was one other person present. It was He Tao, who was sent by the Jeju government to investigate the robbery of Shengchengang first.

Facing Chu Yi, Shi Wenbin seemed neither humble nor arrogant, very decent, but He Tao was flattering. After Shi Wenbin toasted Chu Yi, he raised his glass to Chu Yi with a smile and said: "Xiaguan He Tao, respect Admiral Chu!"

Chapter seven hundred and eighty-eighth Chu capital will point to the general

Chu Yi raised his glass and nodded slightly. Seeing this, He Tao couldn't help showing a bit of joy on his face.

As a character with no strong backers in the local area, He Tao will naturally not miss any opportunity to seize the opportunity.

In He Tao's eyes, Chu Yi is obviously an excellent backer.

Who doesn't know that the emperor's reliance on Chu Yi, and even the independent organization of the East Factory outside the Huangcheng Division, and the actions of the East Factory in the past few years have also confirmed the emperor's importance to the East Factory.

If he misses this opportunity, He Tao feels that he may never have such an opportunity again, so even if he knows that his actions like this are likely to arouse contempt from some people, He Tao doesn't care, As long as he can get Chu Yi's approval, what does other people's opinions have to do with him.

He Tao's attitude almost didn't speak out directly. If Chu Yi couldn't see it, he would have been in the officialdom for so many years in vain.

Chu Yi, a small person like He Tao, naturally did not take it to heart, but Chu Yi did not mean to reject He Tao.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Chu Yi looked at Shi Wenbin and said: "The county magistrate, the governor was ordered by the emperor to supervise the case of the robbery of Birthday Gang. Any clues?"

Even though some clues have been obtained through Dongchang's news channel, the procedure to follow is still to be done, and Chu Yi also wants to see if Shi Wenbin is a person with a false name.

Shi Wenbin was obviously prepared a long time ago. After all, he had already received the news that Chu Yi came from Bianliang City to investigate the case of the robbery of the birthday party. If Chu Yi did not ask about the matter, Shi Wenbin would Wen Bin felt strange.

Seeing Shi Wenbin putting down the teacup in his hand, he looked straight at Chu Yi and said, "The Admiral asked, Shi also happened to have some information, but this case has always been the arrest envoy He Taohe sent by the Jeju government. The envoy is responsible, Shi only knows one or two of them, as for the details, it is better to ask any envoy to explain it to the Admiral.”

He Tao's eyes lit up, obviously he didn't expect Shi Wenbin to give him such an opportunity to show his face. You must know that although he is responsible for this case, Shi Wenbin has a clear grasp of the progress of the case. Yes, Shi Wenbin also knew it.

But Shi Wenbin didn't mean to show it in front of Chu Yi, but gave him the opportunity, which made He Tao couldn't help showing a bit of gratitude when he looked at Shi Wenbin.

Chu Yi glanced at Shi Wenbin, smiled and said, "If that's the case, then ask the envoy He to tell Chu, if there are any clues."

Taking a step forward, He Tao gave a respectful salute, and then brought the clues held by the government one by one. Especially when Bai Sheng was mentioned, He Tao's face was filled with a bit of joy. After all, Bai Sheng was caught, which meant that As the case progresses, it will only be a matter of time to find out who his accomplices will be.

Chu Yi smiled and said, "The county magistrate, He envoy, I don't know who is Bai Sheng's accomplice in your opinion?"

Looking at each other, Shi Wenbin took a deep breath and said, "Bai Sheng is familiar with Chao Gai Chao Baozheng in Dongxi Village, and the two have an excellent relationship. The county suspects that the case of the robbery of the birthday party has nothing to do with this Chao Gai. ."

He Tao looked at Chu Yi and said, "My subordinates are [-]% sure that the birth date was robbed by Chao Gai and his gang, we just need to give the subordinates a few more days, and the subordinates have enough confidence to pry them open. Bai Sheng's mouth will definitely be able to get Bai Sheng's confession."

Standing beside Chu Yi, Yang Zhi said with disdain, "I'm afraid that by that time, Chao Gai would have already escaped."

Although it is not clear who Yang Zhi is, just looking at Yang Zhi's clothes and standing beside Chu Yi, a fool can see that Yang Zhi is definitely Chu Yi's confidant.

Being able to be so relied upon by Chu Yi, and looking at Yang Zhi's appearance, some legends about Chu Yi flashed in his mind, He Tao's eyes lit up, and he obviously guessed Yang Zhi's identity.

I saw He Tao said to Yang Zhi: "Yang Tixia's words are reasonable, but He Mou didn't expect it, which made Yang Tixia laugh."

While speaking, He Tao immediately bowed to Chu Yi and said, "Your Excellency is here, my subordinate is willing to take someone to Dongxi Village to arrest the suspect Chao Gai immediately."

Chu Yi looked at Shi Wenbin and said, "What does the county magistrate think?"

Shi Wenbin said: "Xiaguan obeys the angel's instructions and fully assists the angel to supervise the case."

Gently tapping on the table, Chu Yi said to Yang Zhi who was beside him: "Yang Zhi, please take someone on a walk to assist He Ji arresting envoy in handling the case, and be sure to arrest Chao Gai."

When Yang Zhi heard it, his eyes lit up, and he immediately took the order, and He Tao also had a happy look on his face, and said to Yang Zhi with a little humility: "Yang Tixia, please give me more advice."

Soon a team of people was assembled, and there were hundreds of people.

Chao Gai's name is also a well-known figure in Yuncheng County. Who doesn't know that there are hundreds of people under Chao Gai's Zhuang Ding, and Chao Gai's bravery is famous far and wide. He Tao, an old acquaintance of Chao Gai, calls Chao Gai Na Paying attention, he was stunned to gather hundreds of troops and horses as much as possible within his authority.

Yang Zhi obviously disapproved of He Tao's seriousness. After all, Yang Zhi was in the capital and had never heard of Chao Gai's name. In Yang Zhi's opinion, Chao Gai was nothing more than a thief leader. Not even a character.

To be honest, if it wasn't for Chu Yi's name, Yang Zhi didn't have any interest in going to arrest Chao Gai.

It is enough for people like Chao Gai to be arrested by He Tao, but since Chu Yi has named them, Yang Zhi will naturally have to go.

With torches, a group of people led out of the city gate under the leadership of He Tao and Yang Zhi and headed straight for Dongxi Village.

He Tao has also come down to investigate the robbery of Sheng Chengang for a while, and even targeted Chao Gai. In this case, if He Tao doesn't even know where Dongxi Village is, then it is obviously impossible.

In the team, Zhu Di and Lei Heng, as the head of the infantry and the head of the horses in the county, naturally went with the brigade.

In the crowd, Zhu Di and Lei Heng whispered: "Chao Gai and Song Jiang have a good relationship, but he never thought that he was the thief who robbed the birthday card, alarmed the court, and even sent the fierce god Chu Yi to come down. , it seems that this time Chao Gai is really doomed!"

Lei Heng sighed softly, "If Brother Song Jiang knew about it, I don't know how to be sad."

Zhu Yan just said: "If you want me to say, it's not a good thing for Brother Song Jiang to have close contacts with those people in the arena. If you can make Brother Song Jiang realize the true colors of these people in the arena through Chao Gai's incident, it's not a good thing. not bad."

Lei Heng nodded and said, "Brother is not bad. After this time, your brother and I are trying to persuade Brother Song Jiang. It is best to keep a certain distance from those people in the rivers and lakes. This time it is Chao Gai. Fortunately, I didn't implicate my brother, otherwise, wouldn't it be wrong!"

It is only a dozen miles from Dongxi Village to the county seat, but the official road has been in disrepair for a long time, and the group of people is not able to get up quickly. From a distance, you can see a long winding and rugged dragon that is very eye-catching in the night.

The villages they passed along the way were disturbed, and many people saw the brigade of officers and soldiers with torches passing by and were so frightened that they closed their doors, for fear of getting into any trouble.

In Chaogai Zhuangzi of Dongxi Village, except for Bai Sheng, who was arrested by the government, everyone involved in the birthday case was here.

At this moment, everyone obviously has a unified idea, that is, to choose a place to drop the grass, but several people have a dispute over where to drop the grass.

According to Wu Yong's idea, that is to choose a nearby cottage, and then seize the other's cottage, and be self-reliant.

However, Gongsun Sheng suggested to go far away, because several nearby cottages could not enter the eyes of Gongsun Sheng.

Song Jiang sat in it, looking a little embarrassed, Chao Gai coughed lightly, stopping the quarrel between Gongsun Sheng and Wu Yong, and looked at Song Jiang and said, "Brother Song Jiang, you have been in the public gate for a long time, and your knowledge must be extraordinary, no Do you know what advice Brother Song Jiang has?"

Song Jiang was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, and quickly said: "Song Jiang has little knowledge, but he is not as knowledgeable as Mr. Wu and Daoist Gongsun. Baozheng, don't joke."

Wu Yong stroked his beard and said, "Brother Song Jiang, there are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, just say it bluntly."

Looking at the group of people, Song Jiang pondered for a while before opening his mouth and said, "If that's the case, then Song Jiang is talking nonsense."

Saying that, Song Jiang pointed to a simple map in front of the few people, and clicked on the map: "According to Song Jiang's opinion, if you want to fall into the grass, this place is the best."

A few people's eyes lit up when they saw what Song Jiang was pointing at, and Chao Gai even said, "Eight hundred miles of water on Liangshan! It's wonderful, it's wonderful, if you can stand here, you really won't be afraid of the officials and troops. encirclement."

Eight hundred miles of water in Liangshan, it can be said that anyone who has a little understanding knows this place. If you really want to say it, this place is by no means a good place to stay for people with great ambitions, but it is not a good place to stay for a group of people who have no For those who have lofty aspirations and only seek stability, the Eight Hundred Miles Shuibo is the best barrier. Unless it is too noisy, otherwise, the imperial court will not bother to send troops and horses to encircle and suppress it.

Wu Yong frowned and said, "The [-]-mile waterbore Liangshan is indeed a good place, but if I remember correctly, this place seems to have been occupied by a group of thieves."

Song Jiang nodded and said: "That's right, Song Mou also knows this person. This person is called Wang Lun. People, if Brother Chao Gai goes here, the leader of the king will definitely meet him."

Gongsun Sheng couldn't help shaking his head secretly when he heard the words.Song Jiang said it simply. If they really went to Liangshanbo, Wang Lun would not be as welcome as Song Jiang said.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside Zhuangzi, and I saw a few Zhuang Ding stumbling in, and seeing Chao Gai from a distance, he said: "Baozheng, the big thing is bad, the big thing is bad, there are officers and soldiers of the brigade rushing. Come with Zhuangzi."

Song Jiang stood up abruptly, with a look of shock on his face: "No, the government must have sent people to arrest the brothers. How can this be, how can it be!"

On the other hand, Chao Gai only showed a look of shock on his face, then he calmed down and said to Song Jiang, who had a flustered face, "Don't panic, Brother Song Jiang, it's just a group of officers and soldiers, and I don't care about my brother."
