Chapter 209 General Shi
After a while, Zhao Zhen saw Shi Yong in the meeting hall. He was about eight feet long, with a face with pale yellow bones, a pair of bright eyes, and no moustache. Wrapped in a pig-mouth scarf, with two Taiyuan Prefecture gold twisted wire copper rings on the back; a collared soap shirt on top, a white collar tied around the waist; knee pads on the lower legs, and eight hemp shoes. At first glance, it looked like he was here in a hurry.
Zhao Zhen stepped forward quickly and saw the gift. Zhao Yuanli brought a fruit box of wine, and Zhao Zhen held three glasses in his hand.
Shi Yong thanked Zhao Zhen and drank.
Zhao Zhen said: "Where is the warrior?"
Shi Yong said: "Officials, please listen: I am a member of Daming Mansion, and I only make a living by gambling. Because I grew up, there was a nickname in my hometown called [General Shi], because I was famous for gambling. He beat a man to death with one punch and fled to Cangzhou's Chaidaguan Village. He stayed there for more than four months. The villain was restless and had nothing to do in Chaidaguan Village. "I came to Chai Daguan."
"The villain found out about the reputation of Daguan and Shiyuhu Baoyi Songjiang in Shandong and Hebei, so he went all the way south and came to the border of Yuncheng County. Here, I thought that both of us were in official positions. I hesitated for a moment and met Brother Zhu Fu talking to me. Then I realized that we had reached the border of Liangshan County. "
Zhu Fu continued. : "I saw that Brother Shi Yong was well-spoken and tall, so he came up to talk. Then I got to know Brother Shi Yong, and I used it to recommend him to high officials."
Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, thank you very much. Be careful and try to miss Brother Shi."
We talked for a long time, and at noon time, Zhao Zhen asked people to invite Jiao Ting, Fourth Sister Hei, Bao Xu, Ruan Xiaoer, and Sun from Nan Daying. An, Deng Fei, Luan Tingyu, Wu Sanniang, Liu Tang, Xue Yong, plus Zhu Fu, twelve heroes gathered together. The fat goose cooked meat and delicate fruits were placed on the table and carried in front of everyone. A man on duty came forward to serve the hot wine.
After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are gone.
Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother, I have always heard about Chai Daguan's reputation, but it's a pity that I have never met him. I wonder how good Chai Daguan is?"
Shi Yong said: "Chai Daguan has always been good. After all, the high official is the descendant of Chai Shizong. Everyone in Henghai County treats him a little bit lightly, and no one in the official position is embarrassed. He is allowed to hunt and rob, and the officers and soldiers dare not look at him. It's just that the official will not disturb him. I will wait for him. Those who took refuge did not dare to leave the village. Chai Daguan set up a farm in the village, and every day he carried bows, arrows, flags and guns, rode eagles and hunting dogs, and hunted with the villagers for fun. "
Zhao Zhen listened and said: "I have also heard that since Chen Qiao abdicated, Emperor Taizu Wude gave him an [iron pledge of oath], and no one at home dares to bully him."
Sun An said: "The Sa family has also heard that Chai With the title of a high-ranking official, I wanted to join him at first, but now it seems that I am a bit frustrated, so I am not as comfortable as I am waiting here.”
Fourth Sister Hei said: "It is considered very good. After all, my ancestor is also a nobleman from Tianhuang. He is also rich and wealthy. I have also heard that he specializes in recruiting heroes from all over the world and keeps thirty or fifty of them at home. There are everywhere in the world. Supporting the heroes of the past is also a place of refuge in times of emergency."
After hearing this, everyone praised Fourth Sister Hei for understanding.
Zhao Zhen continued: "It is also said that Wang Lun, the scholar in white, Du Qian, King Kong in the county, and Song Wan, the king of the clouds, also came from the high official's house to collect firewood. , I wonder if Brother Shi Yong has ever known these three people?"
Shi Yong said: "I have met both Wang Lun and Du Qian, but I have never met Brother Song Wan. He lives in Dongzhuang, but Brother Song Wan dares to live in Xizhuang. The two places are more than forty miles apart, and the villain doesn't dare to break in, so he missed it."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "It's a pity. I was in a hurry today and didn't call the three people. Now brother Wang Lun is the county's instructor. Du Qian and Song Wan are also deputy chiefs in the army. There is another person in the county who is also an old acquaintance of the brothers. He is now also The county inspector also serves as the deputy envoy of the horse army. Brother Yang Lin of [Jinbaozi] also went out on official business. In a few days, he first called Du Qian and others to greet the brothers. It was also a big deal to meet an old friend in a foreign country. Beautiful thing.”
Shi Yong said with envy: "I don't think all the brothers in the past joined the army and had a bright future."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said, "I was about to ask my brother, do you have any plans?" Shi Yong hesitated and said: "A high-ranking official, a small person is just a commoner in the city. He has two arms and strength, and he also knows some guns and sticks. He doesn't know many things in the army, so I'm afraid he won't be qualified."

Zhao Zhen said: "It doesn't matter. Most of the brothers like us have a rough background. Fortunately, there are also heroes like [Flower Monk] Lu Zhishen in the army who were born as officers. Brothers want to make contributions in the army and learn more from their brothers. That's right. If you don't want to, it's okay to be a steward in my village."
After hearing this, Shi Yong stood up and thanked Zhao Zhen, saying: "I am an official, but I am impatient. I am afraid that there will be more trouble in the village, so I would like to join the army as a soldier, practice martial arts with my brothers, and it will be more enjoyable. I have heard about the reputation of brother Lu Zhishen many times in Hebei, and I don't want to join the high officials."
Zhao Zhen immediately promised: "Brother is skilled in martial arts, and he will also be the deputy chief, commanding hundreds of people. From now on, I will see my brother's meritorious service and promotion."
Shi Yong was overjoyed after hearing this. He stood up and thanked again.
When the business is settled, all the heroes exchange cups for cups. From noon to evening, everyone dispersed.
