Xiang Tianjie's face turned solemn, and he solemnly clasped his fists and said, "It turns out that it was Brother Chen in front of you. You beat Wujiazhuang to share the wealth among the people. I have heard about it recently, and I admire it very much. I didn't expect to see my brother here, so handsome. , really extraordinary."
"It's easy to talk." Zhou Jing was also polite.
Although he has just debuted in Green Forest, he is only a small person compared to the other party, but people in Green Forest will not be short of etiquette, and he must do his best on face.
Moreover, people with high skills have always been admired by Lulin. For these Dazhai leaders, the destruction of Wujiazhuang was a trivial matter, but Zhou Jing's deeds showed his amazing force with one enemy.
This group of leaders of Tianwangzhai was so surprised because of this... They had been dormant in this state capital for many days, and they accidentally discovered that such a fierce person had appeared in the southern green forest. They couldn't help being very interested. .
Xiang Tianjie also has the intention of making friends with Zhou Jing, but he is not familiar with it at the moment, so he will not mention the invitation to join for the time being.
Because there was some movement, the group didn't want to disturb the official, so they quickly changed places and talked again.
…
When everyone came to the secluded place, Xiang Tianjie and other talents all took off their human skin masks, came up one after another to sign up, and got to know each other with Zhou Jing.
These leaders of Tianwangzhai are all highly skilled in martial arts, and they are well-known in the northern green forest, but they only know Zhou Jing's name, but they don't dare to ask for it, and they all hold their fists in a serious salute.
Only then did Xiang Tianjie talk about the purpose of their group, and sighed:
"Brother Guo Haishen was imprisoned here because he offended the dignitaries. I have been hiding here for a long time, just looking for an opportunity to rescue me. Because of the large number of connections, I dare not show my true colors."
"Brother Guo and I have an old relationship, and I came here for him." Gao Yun agreed, and then he wondered: "But since you both have important things, why does Brother Shi Qing want to make troubles and steal me?"
Hearing this, the two groups turned their heads together and looked at Shi Qing.
Shi Qingxiu's face immediately flushed red, and he hesitated:
"I was looking for news on the street, and I came across this heroic man with a big bag, so I kept an eye on it. Later, when I saw him shopping in front of the street vendor and revealing his money, I was itchy, thinking that no one knows this place. I, covering my face again, wanted to make a fortune, but I didn’t think so…”
Hearing this, Xiang Tianjie was furious and scolded, "You thief, you almost ruined my major event!"
Many leaders of Tianwangzhai also looked unhappy.
They didn't know the cause and effect, but only when they found Shi Qing's distress signal, they came to save the siege. They probably guessed that Shi Qing had lost his hand on the way, but they couldn't help but get angry at this time.
"Brothers calm down, my younger brother is wrong." Shi Qing lowered his head in frustration.
Xiang Tianjie was helpless and turned his head to apologize to Gao Yun:
"Brother Gao, don't be surprised, this brother Shi Qing hasn't been in my cottage for a long time, but he doesn't recognize your appearance. He was originally a street thief, and later he was taught by a river and lake thief. Although he was young, he learned a lot. The light-hearted kung fu of flying over eaves and walls, as well as the skill of disguising one's face with one hand. He is very talented, but he can't change the habit of stealing chickens and touching dogs. He has to steal when his hands are itchy. I have told him many times, but he always reverts to his old ways and doesn't take it seriously. I bumped into Gao today. Man, it can be regarded as a lesson for him."
"So that's the case... If it wasn't for Brother Shi Qing, we couldn't see each other, so Brother Xiang shouldn't blame him."
No matter what Gao Yun thought in his heart, he still gave him a step up.
In fact, in the green forest, the status of thieves is not high, and most people in the green forest do not like it very much. They are occasionally called "Qianzi", "thieves" and "Bao Tan" on the road, with a certain contempt.
Zhou Jing watched Shi Qing being scolded, and his mind changed slightly.
Most of these people in the green forest were from poor backgrounds, and they were all rude and reckless. They might have some bad problems, such as alcoholism, greed, irritability, and so on.
Even if they have important business, it is difficult to expect them to be completely safe, many of which are unstable factors.
At this time, Gao Yun asked:
"The leaders have been inquiring here for many days, but I don't know how Brother Guo Haishen got into trouble?"
The voice fell, and many leaders of Tianwangzhai suddenly became angry.
Xiang Tianjie's chest rose and fell, his tone was angry, and he said solemnly:
"Brother, I don't know, this Anlin mansion looks prosperous, but in fact, the government and businessmen colluded and looted the people's wealth. Many big businessmen and the government were involved, often doing some shoddy business. Not only did the locals suffer, but some passers-by traders were also persecuted. Even if it is reported to the government, it will be nothing. The upper and lower levels have already been dealt with by these large local businessmen, and there is no way to report.
In addition, local merchants stockpiled grain all year round, just to keep the price of grain high. If there is excess grain, they would rather sell to other state borders than to supply the local... It is obvious that this is the rich land of fish and rice in the south, but ordinary people have to spend more money to survive , even if there is some floating money, it is also earned by those big grain merchants. This gang of profiteers has a mouth full of oil, and they have money to expand their industries. They are even more intertwined. "
"It's really hateful!"
Fang Zhen was very angry when he heard this.
Gao Yun was also dissatisfied, and frowned: "In the rich and prosperous land in the south, even if it is raided like this, the people can still maintain a living... If you go to the barren land in the north, if you dare to do this, the local people will change!"
Xiang Tianjie sighed and continued:
"These are rich and unkind businessmen's homes, and they are still funding gangs locally and doing some dirty work for them. Although these gangs are also street scumbags, they have become a climate that is enough to bully the market. For example, if someone sues the government, these gangs will look for this person. Family trouble, as revenge.
Or the big family in the city fell in love with a certain property and wanted to lower the price, but the owner of the property refused to let the gang harass and smash it until they surrendered... For example, several big families such as Chengnan Lu, Chen, He, Huang, etc. , I heard from the common people that they wanted to expand the house in the early years, but their neighbors were unwilling. They used this method to buy the surrounding land at a low price. "
Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then Guo Hai went to prison to provoke local businessmen?"
Xiang Tianjie nodded immediately and said solemnly:
"That's it! Brother Guo passed by here, and happened to meet the gangs oppressing the people, so he offered to help, and after asking the reason behind it, he single-handedly overturned several local gangs that were causing trouble, and ruined many transactions of local merchants. The Anlin House All praise for his righteous deeds.
But this was also hated by the big local businessmen. They wanted to kill the chickens and show the monkeys, so they bought a few people and set up a bureau to frame Guo brothers. These people caused Brother Guo to drink a lot in one day, and deliberately said some local injustices to provoke Brother Guo, asking Brother Guo to seek justice from the government, and then said that the local prefect would not take care of him.
It is a pity that Brother Guo was not sober for a while after drinking the wine, and the disaster came out of his mouth, but he was so angry that he said, "If the local prefect does not care, he will ask the Zhizhou adults to seek justice." If you don't care about the state, you can find a provincial governor. If the governor doesn't care, he will go to Beijing to find the emperor and tell the emperor's words. Unexpectedly, a large number of officials ambushed around early, and immediately took him and sent him to the government. The prefect hurriedly sentenced him to be arrogant, ignorant of saints, ignorant of honor and inferiority, and rebellious. He was beaten fifty in court. Cudgel, taken to the prison camp... Brother Guo was convicted this time because of his words. "
The crowd was furious.
"This son-of-a-bitch prefect, and the big businessmen of the dog days, are the same raccoon dog!" Fang Zhen resented.
Gao Yun took a long stick and poked a hole in the ground. He also said angrily: "The officials and businessmen collude and oppress the people, it's really damn!"
"It really should be killed."
Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes.
But there is one thing to say, aside from the aspect of being calculated, Guo Hai went deep into prison, and it was not completely wronged him.
In this feudal era, if you dare to speak rudely to the emperor, no one will listen.
The local government used this reason to punish those who spoke inappropriately, that is, "politically correct." Whoever dares to intercede will be put on the hat of "disrespectful saints", and those who intercede will also be unlucky.
In today's world, people can do what you can't say, state officials can set fires, and people don't talk about lighting a lamp. Complaining is a sin, and it affects the good career of others.
Most of the people in the green forest harbor resentment towards the imperial court, and are accustomed to scolding and scolding the government.
Zhou Jing folded his arms and made a decisive statement:
"I can't see such a filthy world! This Guo Haishen, I have also saved it. What are the plans of the leaders, but it's okay, I will work together to rescue this hero!"
Fang Zhen immediately echoed: "Not bad! What my brother said is also what I mean!"
Xiang Tianjie was overjoyed, and immediately handed over his hands: "With three heroes helping you, this trip is more certain!"
Hearing this, Zhou Jing remembered Li Chun and the others, blinked, and said:
"By the way, there are three Lulin brothers on my side. They also came to visit Guo Haishen. They probably won't stand by. It's better to tell them about it first, get together, and then figure out how to save people."
"Brother Chen is right!" Xiang Tianjie agreed.
…
In a luxury restaurant somewhere in the city, there are five people in the private room who are changing cups, namely Li Chun, the Lu family siblings, and two unfamiliar faces.
These two people, one is the official middleman, sitting in the main seat, and the other is the leading middleman.
The cups and dishes on the table were a mess, and it was obvious that they had almost finished eating, and things were basically settled.
Li Chun stood up and said to the official in the main seat: "In this way, there will be Mr. Zhang, and I hope that the adults will prepare the goods by then."
"Hehe, it's natural, Brother Li should also prepare money."
The officials also smiled brightly, as if happy to make a fortune.
Only then did Li Chun leave and take the Lu family brothers and sisters out of the restaurant.
Walking into the street, Lu Xinniang snorted coldly and couldn't help but say: "The corruption of the government is so bad, there are people who dare to sell weapons in the warehouse in private, and they are not afraid of losing their heads!"
Li Chun shook his head helplessly and sighed:
"Master Zhang is not a high-ranking official, there must be someone behind him, but I don't know if he is accumulating money for his superiors, or making a situation for a political enemy, or if he has been transferred to another state capital, and makes a fortune before he leaves. After all, the southern bandits are in chaos. Not as serious as the north, this Jingzhou area is even more stable, these weapons are piled up and rusted in the warehouse, and they can't give birth to cubs to make money... Alas, official intrigue is annoying, but in the end, it's cheaper for me to wait."
Lu Yunzhao was quite excited: "If you buy this batch of weapons, you will be able to train several elite teams."
Hearing this, Li Chun also smiled, relieved the pressure, relaxed, and said with a smile:
"The biggest thing of this trip has been completed, and then I will go back to find Brother Chen Feng, go to prison city camp to meet Guo Haishen, who is famous for the green forest, and then invite Brother Chen Feng to our cottage to rest and rest. This trip will be complete. Well, the harvest is very rich!"
The three of them did not delay, and went all the way back to the inn where they settled down.
Zhang San had been waiting at the entrance of the inn, and when he saw Li Chun and the others, he hurried up to meet him, saying:
"Three heroes, Brother Chen, please come to his room for a talk, and discuss important matters."
"Oh?"
Li Chun was puzzled, and without thinking much, he brought the Lu family brothers and sisters to the door of Zhou Jing's room and knocked on the door.
"Brother Chen, here we come."
With a shout, he pushed open the door and was about to walk in.
However, the next moment, Li Chun saw the scene in the room, stopped suddenly, and subconsciously settled in place.
The room is full of big men!
At first glance, there are more than ten people!
Except for Zhou Jing and Fang Zhen, the others are all unfamiliar faces, almost all of them are powerful and fierce!
Li Chun was stunned on the spot and said: "Brother Chen, this, these people are..."
Zhou Jing smiled heartily, greeted Li Chun and the three of them to enter the door, and then signaled Zhang San to close the door and stay outside, and then he said:
"Let me introduce, these three are the leaders of Hongyun Mountain, the Qing fan Li Chun, the goddess Lu Yunzhao, the embroidered knife Lu Xinniang... And these are the leaders of the northern Green Forest Heavenly King Village..."
This time, Tianwangzhai sent people to rescue Guo Haishen, and a total of eight leaders came, among them, Xiang Tianjie, the fourth-headed "Great Sage of the River", reported themselves to their families.
Hearing the other party's background, Li Chun was shocked, and hurriedly brought the Lu family brothers and sisters to the ceremony, but he was extremely puzzled.

How could this group of northern green forest masters quietly run to this southern boundary
Moreover, Brother Chen Feng just went out for a walk, how did they bring back so many tyrants
Xiang Tianjie briefly explained the encounter, and then talked about Guo Haishen's encounter, and then went straight to the point:
"I'm waiting for this trip to rescue Brother Guo Haishen. Brother Chen Feng said that the three of you came for him too. I'm waiting to invite the three of you to act together. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Li Chun pondered for a while, then nodded:
"Brother Guo is a man I admire very much, and I can't stand idly by this time!"
Such a grand event, they should be involved, not only to rescue the hero, but also to increase the reputation of the green forest, and let Hongyun Mountain follow the Tianwangzhai in the limelight.
If it spreads out, Hongyunshan is unwilling to help Tianwangzhai to rescue Guo Haishen, the "iron-armed Canglong", that would be a great loss of reputation.
"Okay! Brother Chen is right, you really are loyal heroes!"
Xiang Tianjie was overjoyed.
Hearing this, Li Chun felt an inexplicable sense of urgency in his heart.
He could see that Xiang Tianjie also meant to befriend Zhou Jing.
The Tianwangzhai family has a great business and is a well-known Dazhai in the world, and the small family in Hongyun Mountain cannot be compared with the other party at all. If the other party also recruits Zhou Jing, then maybe they can really abduct people...
But this is not the time to talk about these things.
Everyone agreed on the same goal, and all the people who came to rescue Guo Haishen gathered here.
Chen Feng, "Changing Yama", Xiang Tianjie, "The Great Sage", Gao Yun, "Breaking the Army Gun", Li Chun, "Qing Fan", Lu Yunzhao, "Chanshan Taisui", Fang Zhen, "Crossing the Mountain Taisui", Lu Xinniang, "Embroidery Knife", "Thousand Faced Swallow" Shi Qing...
There are eight leaders of Tianwangzhai, three leaders of Hongyun Mountain, plus Zhou Jing, Fang Zhen, Gao Yun... There are fourteen of the famous and famous.
After discussing for a while, everyone reached a consensus and planned to appoint a representative to go to the prison camp together, and talk to Guo Haishen first.
Even if you want to save people, you have to let the rescued people know that there is a harmony between the inside and the outside.
Soon, everyone ordered four people to go to the prison camp to meet people, namely Xiang Tianjie, Li Chun, Zhou Jing, and Gao Yun, as representatives of all parties, and the rest remained silent.
…
On the other side, a neatly dressed old man came to the prison camp and visited the camp.
This old man had white hair and beard, with a smile all over his face, he looked like the housekeeper of a big family.
The local jailer and the clerk seemed to know the old man, treated him with courtesy, and allowed him to enter.
Soon, the old man saw Guanying, smiled and handed over:
"Master Guanying, stay safe?"
"Yo, Butler He! Haha, I haven't seen you for some days."
Guan Ying's eyes lit up, and he hurried forward to introduce him to his seat.
The two casually chatted some gossip, and this was what Butler He said.
I saw Butler He tentatively ask: "Master Guanying, I don't know that the surnamed Guo, how is it now?"
Managed the camp and stroked the beard, and said:
"These days, I've been letting people look at him. He's fairly quiet, but there's no reason to trouble him."
Hearing this, Butler He took out two ingots of silver, handed them to Guanying, and whispered:
"This man has ruined the good things of my master. My master's meaning is to hope that he will get some 'care' in prison. Don't kill him, but let those unscrupulous people understand what is the end of the mess. Look at this. …”
The management received the money, and the smile on his face was even bigger, he laughed, and said proudly:
"Go back and let Mr. He relax. He's just a wounded man. What kind of iron-armed dragon and dog. When he comes to my place, even if he is iron, I can rub him into iron mud!"
Hearing this, Butler He asked, "I don't know what Master Guanying plans to do?"
Guan Ying waved his hand and said casually:
"The heroes I rectified, there are no three hundred or two hundred, all of them have become a muddy mud, and they are already familiar with the road. Isn't that Guo, who is very talented? When I pick his hands and feet and ruin his martial arts, spare him. How pretentious he used to be, to become a dog-like thing, I let him eat shit, he has to eat shit! I want to pee in his mouth, he has to open his mouth to me!"
"Okay, just do it like this! Then I'll go back and wait for the good news!"
Butler He smiled happily.
