Water Margin official

When the fire gradually extinguished, Zhang Zhengdao and his party descended from Jieyang Ridge and went to Li Jun's home to rest.

The Tong brothers prepared a table of wine and food and treated each other with hospitality. Everyone sat around under a tree in the courtyard, eating wine and cooling off and chatting.

"My elder brother doesn't know that there are three tyrants here. The younger brother, Tong Wei and Tong Meng, dominate the Jieyang Mountains and are counted as one tyrant. In the town of Jieyang not far away, there are a pair of wealthy brothers. The eldest brother The surname is Mu Minghong, nicknamed Bu Zhelan, and his brother Mu Chun, called Xiao Zhelan, dominates the town and is considered a tyrant. There is also a pair of private business brothers by the Xunyang River. The eldest brother's surname is Zhang Mingheng, nicknamed ' "Chuan Huo'er", brother Zhang Shun, is called "Langli Baitiao", he is very skilled in water, he usually does private business as a ferryman, and he can be regarded as a tyrant." Li Jun took the initiative to introduce.

Zhang Zhengdao naturally knew these people. Except for Zhang Shun, who had a conscience, he parted ways with Zhang Heng and went to Jiangzhou City to work as a fisherman. The other three were not really good guys.

"What about brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun?" Zhang Zhengdao asked deliberately.

Li Jun replied: "The two brothers have now changed their careers. Zhang Heng is working as a private businessman alone in the Xunyang River, while his younger brother Zhang Shun went to the edge of Jiangzhou City to sell fish teeth."< /p>

"Brother, are you interested in recruiting these two brothers?" Li Jun's heart moved, then he patted his head and shouted: "With Zhang Heng's style, my brother must look down on him, but brother Zhang Shun was born in Xunyang River since childhood. Bian, who grew up at the foot of Xiaogu Mountain, is proficient in the nature of water. He can stay underwater for seven days and seven nights. He is also good at martial arts and has never done anything dirty."

Su Sheng shook his head and said: "You can stay in the water for seven days and seven nights? I don't believe it."

Li Jun said with a smile: "Brother Zhang Shun is really good at water skills. The Xunyang River is like your own yard, and you can go back and forth like flat ground."

Zhang Zhengdao said: "Since my brothers admire Zhang Shun so much, I will go to the edge of Jiangzhou City tomorrow to meet this 'Langli Baitiao'."

Li Jundao: "Brother, you want to go to the city?"

Shan Shiqi asked: "Is it possible that Jiangzhou City is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, inaccessible?"

Li Jun shook his head and said: "There are many soldiers and horses in Jiangzhou City, but I am afraid that something will happen to my brother."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "I have been able to enter every city no matter how big or small."

Wei Sheng grinned and said: "We carry official certificates with us. Even if we check, we can't find out that they are fake."

Li Jun asked curiously: "Whose handwriting can be so fake that it can be confused with the real thing?"

Zhang Zhengdao explained: "In Jeju City, there are two craftsmen who have little reputation in the green forest. One is good at handwriting and the other is good at engraving seals. Whenever he travels across the state, he always asks them to forge official certificates. ."

"Don't say that this Jiangzhou City is even Tokyo's Bianliang City. You can come and go freely." Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile.

Li Jun sighed and said: "My little brother is hanging out in this small Jieyang Mountains, but he is sitting in a well and looking at the sky. Fortunately, my brother did not give up and accepted the three younger brothers to join Liangshan."

Zhang Zhengdao looked at this man who kept expressing his joy at joining Liangshan, and thought in his heart that this man was capable and popular, and he was vaguely the first of the three hegemons in Jieyang.

After recruiting Li Jun and the Tong brothers, and adding Zhang Shun, Liangshan can have two more naval battalions.

Nowadays, there is no shortage of infantry and horse army leaders in the mountain stronghold, but it is hard to find heroes in the water.

When we attack Goryeo in the future, we must dispatch the navy.

Zhang Zhengdao was thinking and talking cheerfully.

A banquet lasting until late into the night.

That night, everyone spent the night at Li Jun's house.

At dawn the next day, after washing up, Li Jun arranged for wine and food, and left Tong Wei and Tong Meng at home to guard the horses. He led Zhang Zhengdao, Wei Sheng, and Shan Shiqi on foot.

Go to the Xunyang River.

Li Jun pulled the clipper, which usually sold private salt, out of the grass in a remote place, pushed it into the water, and then helped the three people get on the boat. Then he rowed the specially made Qibao Panlong boat and headed towards

Go across the river.

July is full of fire, and the remaining clouds are closing in on the summer heat. Only halfway to the waterway, it begins to rain heavily.

Everyone hid in the canopy of the boat to take shelter from the rain. Only Li Jun was still rowing in the rain.

Fortunately, the rain came and went quickly. After only a moment, the rain stopped and the wind stopped, revealing a streak of colorful clouds on the horizon.

Li Jun smiled and said: "It often rains here."

Shan Shiqi is from Qinzhou, which is dry and rainless, but he is very surprised by this solar rain.

While admiring the scenery on the Xunyang River, Zhang Zhengdao asked, "Is the prefect of Jiangzhou City named Cai Dezhang?"

Li Jun shook his head and said: "I don't know, little brother."

Shan Shiqi asked: "Brother, who is this Cai Dezhang?"

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "That is Cai Jing's ninth son."

Shan Shiqi, a son of a wealthy family, was quite familiar with the affairs of the imperial court, so he answered: "When Cai Jing regained power, he transferred his son-in-law to Daming Mansion. This Jiangzhou is a place with a lot of money and food, and I am afraid that the prefect in the city will

, also from Cai Mansion."

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "The party fights for power, but also for money and food. Whoever can get money and food for Zhao Guan's family to enjoy and live in debauchery will be the pillar of the imperial court."

Su Shengnai was a rude man who didn't understand this, so he grinned and said, "I don't think what my brother said is right. We will recognize whoever gives us enough to eat."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled, this man actually said the most reasonable saying in the world.

While talking and laughing, the speedboat sailed across the Xunyang River and arrived at the shore.

The three of them went ashore, helped Li Jun, and pulled the boat to the shore. They found a place for cover in the grass, then walked away and headed towards Jiangzhou City.

We haven't entered the city yet, but we can see that there is a lot of hustle and bustle on the official road. It is indeed a place where people and things are prosperous.

Li Jun had been here several times and knew the way, so he led the three of them without entering the city. They only looked in one direction and walked two miles to find Zhang Shun.

Not long after, I saw a pavilion with more than ten houses and tiled roofs built along the river.

"Brother, that's the Pipa Pavilion. Why don't we go to that pavilion to drink a few glasses of wine and enjoy the river view, while I go to find Brother Zhang Shun." Li Jun said.

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "Brother, go ahead, we will wait for you in that pavilion."

Li Jun smiled and said: "Brother, sit down for a moment, I will go find Zhang Shun."

After that, go to the fishing boat by the river and look for Zhang Shun.

Zhang Zhengdao took Sui Sheng and Shan Shiqi to the Pipa Pavilion and chose a clean seat. The three of them sat down and asked the bartender to place vegetables, fruits, seafood, wine, etc., and took two more bottles.

Jiangzhou's famous wine, Yu Hu Chun, is ready to eat.

After having a glass of jade pot spring wine, Zhang Zhengdao looked far into the distance, and saw the long river scenery, the towering green mountains in the distance, gulls and herons flying together, the distant water turning silver. The cool breeze blew on the water, and the snow waves turned and shot into the sky.

"It's really a beautiful scenery!" Zhang Zhengdao was full of praise.

Sui Sheng said: "It's really good wine!"

This Yuhuchun is Jiangzhou's famous fine wine. After taking a sip, Sui Sheng and Shan Shiqi praised it repeatedly.
