Chapter 372 Yuncheng Shuangdutou
Zhao Zhen and the other three were speechless after hearing Liu Huiniang's words.
Zhu Wudao: "It's all these corrupt officials who steal high positions. Many righteous people in the world are forced to fall into the trap and become bandits. If Song Gongming succeeds, I have to make preparations here in advance, I'm afraid that time , It is necessary to fight against each other."
Wu Yong said: "Brother Zhu Wu is saying that in addition to training the soldiers and horses, we still need to contact the heroes in the Jianghu to strengthen our strength."
"I still ask Master Liu to write. In the next letter, there is no need to mention the intention of defecting, as long as he does not defect to Song Jiang wholeheartedly," Wu Yong continued.
At that moment, Zhao Zhen wrote a letter, explaining the reasons in detail, and sent it to Jingmen Town. Ask Liu Guang to write a letter, and ask Liu Qi and Shi Qian's two brothers to take five or seven elite sergeants to pretend to be merchants, carry letters, and go to Yuanbi Village to deliver letters.
Not to mention that Liu Qi and Shi Qian took the road to Yizhou and went to Yuanbi Village. Let’s just talk about Yuncheng County, a neighboring county of Liangshan County. I don’t know how many people were reprimanded because they lost their birth date. Because Song Jiang was the custodian of Yuncheng County, Shi Wenbin, the county magistrate who had just taken office, was also implicated.
Taking this opportunity, Cai Jing recommended his disciples to take up posts in the county. After taking office, the new county magistrate relieved Lei Heng and Zhu Dian from their duties as commanders of infantry and cavalry.
Because of his red face and long beard, Zhu Tong resembled the famous general Guan Yu of the Three Kingdoms, so he joined the county as a prisoner. Lei Heng was just a blacksmith. In his free time, he wrote and painted in the county every day, waiting for orders. When he is busy, he only travels between the state capitals, delivering official documents, and acting as a quick service. Not to mention the danger, there is not much oil or water. Since he passed through Liangshan County on his last trip, Lei Heng saw that Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others had to be reused. He thought about it again and again and had already thought of going to Liangshan County.
On this day, Lei Heng came back from Dongchang Mansion, met with the magistrate, replied, and handed over official documents and approval slips. Lei Heng left the county government office and met Zhao Neng and Zhao De who were coming back from outside. They smelled of alcohol and looked like they had been invited back after eating out.
Seeing Lei Heng, Zhao Neng said: "Lei Dutou, you are back from an outing. Brothers are really carefree. Once they go out, there won't be much to do when they come back. Unlike my two brothers, who have no leisure for a day."
Lei Heng snorted, ignored it, and turned around and walked home.
Zhao De sneered: "Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf? I really thought that even the infantry was dead."
Zhao Neng said with a smile: "No matter what he does, in a few days , If you can't help it, he will be transferred to my two subordinates as a soldier, and we will deal with him when the time comes."
Lei Heng was angry, but he didn't want to make it public. Now the situation is stronger than others, and his identity is embarrassing, so he really made a fuss. He also suffered a loss.
Lei Heng suppressed his anger, drank two cents of wine, returned home, and met his mother.
Lei Heng scalded the wine himself before Lei’s mother could finish cooking, and took one bowl at a time. By the time Lei's mother finished cooking, Lei Heng was already lying on the table, drunk.
At night, when Lei Heng sobered up, Lei's mother asked: "My son, why are you so unhappy?"
Lei Heng said what he said, and Lei's mother said: "Even so, Even if we don’t do this job, we can still support the two of us even if we reopen the blacksmith shop.”
Lei Heng said, “That being said, I’m not willing to give in to anyone who drinks with me. They have all moved elsewhere. Not to mention this, even if the blacksmith shop is reopened, it will probably not disturb you." After some hesitation, Lei Heng continued: "Mom, I passed by Liangshan County before, and there are two friends in the county. One was Chao Gai, Baozheng of Dongxi Village, whom my mother had met, and the other was a professor in his village. One of them is now a general in charge of the army in Liangshan County, and the other is the county magistrate Zhao Zhenye. I once heard about my name and wanted to recruit me to be a military commander in another county, but I thought my family property was in Yuncheng County, so I shied away from it. Now, it would be better to sell off my family property and go to Liangshan. It is better to find a job in the county than to work hard here.”
After hearing this, Lei's mother said: "My son, as the saying goes, if you move a tree, you will die, but if you move people, you will live. If Liangshan County wants to use you, what can you do if you move the whole family?"
After hearing what Lei Mu said, Lei Heng made up his mind. On the second day, the yard and fields were sold. Two days later, Zhu Tong heard about it, went to Lei Heng, and asked, "Brother Xian, I heard that you were selling your properties everywhere, but you encountered difficulties. I still have some gold and silver here. Brother Xian, you can use it for emergencies."< br>
Lei Heng shook his head and said: "Brother, there is no problem. I don't have the trust of the county magistrate now. I am always angry with people in the county government. After much thought, I have resigned from my position in the county and am just waiting for a change." After selling the business, go to Liangshan County and join the official Zhao Zhen."
"My brother is just a prisoner here, so why don't you go with me to Liangshan County, where the county magistrate Zhao Zhen is recruiting talents. Sir, my brother Chao Gai is already a general with thousands of troops in Liangshan County. With my two martial arts skills, I dare not say that being the commander of a hundred troops is better than being here. ”
"Xian brother, do you recognize [Xiao Mengchang] Zhao Zhen?" Zhu Tong asked.
“We have met him several times. When I first met him, he was just an upright official. Now he is the magistrate of Liangshan County and has many famous heroes under his command. With my martial arts skills, how can I not compare with him? I'll go with you to find a wife and a son." Lei Heng replied.
After hearing this, Zhu Tong was moved. He looked around and whispered: "For the former, I once received a letter from brother Gongming, inviting me to Luocao in Qingzhou. I am an innocent family, so I refuse. Now although Being in prison at the provincial level and having a monthly salary is no better than being a Dutou."
"I have heard of the name Zhao Daguan many times in the past, from my brother Gongming to his successor. They are all famous heroes in Shandong and Hebei. I have seen high-ranking officials, but I wonder if they are as extravagant as the rumors."
Lei Heng said: "The rumors in the world are true. Do you remember. That day, I led troops to patrol the township. The county magistrate asked me to take the leaves of the red-leaf tree in Dongxi Village as evidence. The tree was a spiritual plant, and the high officials had people guard it to prevent outsiders from approaching. They heard that I was patrolling the township on an errand. He sent people to collect leaves, entertained me and other soldiers with wine and meat, and then personally escorted me out of the village after a night's rest."
Seemingly seeing Zhu Tong's move, Lei Heng continued: "Brother, you don't have a small family. If you don't take advantage of now to establish a career, you will be able to find a wife and shadow in the future. What are you waiting for? You can't go to Gongming brother. Let's try to recruit him."
After hearing this, Zhu Tong also made up his mind. The property was sold quietly, and within half a month, Zhu Tong also resigned from his job. He and Lei Heng hired several cars to escort Lei's mother and set off for Liangshan County.
Zhao Zhen was overjoyed when he heard that the two came to vote.
Promoted Yang Zhi of Jingmen Town to the command of the Ma Army Camp, and Sun Li and Zhu Dian were both Du Yuhou. Lei Heng stayed in the small military camp on the right side of Baishi Manor, serving as the camp commander and in charge of 200 people in the bow and arrow department.
The two thanked Zhao Zhen and took office after getting to know Liangshan County.
Zhao Zhen looked at the Tiangang Disha Ling in his hand and was also overjoyed.
