Chapter 350 Fan Zhijin Goes Down the Mountain
The autumn wind and rain are sad, and the cold night is like a heart-wrenching...
On this cold and cold autumn day, some people are happy and some are worried.
Just as Wu Haogu was taking over the control of the "Qingzhou Association" progressed smoothly, his rival Fan Zhijin, who was forced to go to Liangshan, had already made up his mind to surrender.
He was forced to follow the thief, not out of his original intention, so it can be explained clearly...at least he thought it could be explained clearly.
Therefore, since the first day he went to Liangshan, he had planned to leave whenever he had the chance, go to Yanggu County to find Zhang Kegong, explain clearly about his forced to Liangshan, and get rid of the case and go to the Jinshi exam.
As long as he passes the Jinshi exam, the good days for Wu Haogu and Ximen Qing, the adulterer, will come to an end!
It is not easy to get down to Liangshan. Although he is not on the mountain now, he lives in the manor of Song Jiang, a Heisanlang of Xiaoyi. However, he is firmly taken care of by Song Jiang's subordinates, so how can he "go down the mountain to surrender"?
Are you mistaken? How can a hero from Liangshan surrender?
There is no such precedent! There are so many heroes on the world of Jingdong East Road, who has committed a case?
It would be fine if you were recruited by the court to be a hawk. Many people in Liangshan dreamed of recruiting, but surrendered... Where would the faces of the heroes in Liangshan be put?
Besides, will you end up if you surrender? The government is worried that you won’t be able to catch the heroes of Liangshan. If you send them to yourself, then you will be punished for not being guilty!
He also made it clear, and was forced to be a hero...what is said! If the official is to reason like this, there will be no unjust death in the world!
So when Hei Songjiang heard that Fan Zhijin was going to "success in the mountains", his black head was shaking like a rattle, and he refused to agree to anything.
However, Song Jiang is also a reasonable robber. He did not invite Fan Jinzhi to eat the noodles because he wanted to surrender. He would leave him in the manor to eat delicious food, drink and entertain him... This is a "juren going up the mountain"! It is a sign of the prosperity of Liangshan. There are so many hills on Jingdong East Road, who has a juren?
This is Liangshan’s signature, why are you willing to chop it up with one knife?
But after the late autumn, Fan Zhijin became a little anxious. He went outside the yard where Song Jiang lived every day to kneel on a hunger strike to petition - autumn is the time to take the exam. If he mistakenly got the exam, then the spring exam competition in the third year of Yuanfu would be out of the way.
If you cannot pass the Jinshi in Yuanfu in three years, then you will have to wait three more years for the next wave! When you think of the adulterer Yin's wife who can be free for three more years, Fan Zhijin hated that he would not want to eat and just went on a hunger strike.
It was a rainy day and it was very cold, but Fan Zhijin, who had decided to do it, was still stormy and rain. He ate four meat buns in the morning and handed the child to his mother to take care of him. He took an umbrella to go to the door of Song Jiang's yard for a long time to kneel on a hunger strike... This kneel and hunger strike meant that it was the whole day, without eating grains of rice and not getting into the drip of water, and he was still very determined.
As soon as he knelt down, guests came to Song Jiang's yard. The one who came was Zhao Tieniu, the "Smile Three Heizi" who was ranked 36 on Liangshan. He didn't laugh much when he was in Kaifeng Prefecture, but after he went to Liangshan, he would greet people with a smile all day, so he gave him the nickname "Smile Three Heizi".
"Oh, Brother Thirty-seven," Zhao Tieniu saw Fan Zhijin kneeling on the ground with an umbrella, and hurriedly went up to greet him with a smile, "If it rains today, you can kneel down."
Fan Zhijin's identity is not a minion, he is a thirty-seventh hero in Liangshan! And he also has a gangster in the world, and the famous "Half Juren" is also the famous "Half Juren"!
Why is it "half piece"? He is kneeling down even though he is half short...
"Brother Thirty-sixth," Fan Zhijin sighed bitterly, "You know, you will be able to try it out soon. If you miss the date, it will be abandoned for another three years."
"Can you really pass the exam?" Zhao Tieniu asked.
"It's definitely possible!" Fan Zhijin gritted his teeth and said, "I have been studying for more than 20 years to become famous in the imperial examination field, then serve the country, establish a life for the people, and create peace for the whole world. Although I have suffered a little setback now, my ambitions have never changed at all. If Brother Song does not allow me to go down the mountain, I will starve to death outside his house!"
"Starting to death?" Zhao Tieniu was shocked, "Brother Thirty-seven, do you want to go on a hunger strike?"
"Of course!" Fan Zhijin said, "I have been on a hunger strike for more than a month!"
Having a hunger strike for one month? He didn't starve to death? Could he be a god?
Zhao Tieniu looked at Fan Zhijin and found that he had lost weight, but he was far from being hungry for a month. He thought to himself: Is the legend that "there is white rice in the book" true?
"Well." Zhao Tieniu said, "I'll talk to Brother Song Jiang now and beg him to let you go down the mountain to get a Jinshi."
"Then I'll thank you for Brother Thirty-sixth." Fan Zhijin was moved for a while. He bowed to Zhao Tieniu regardless of the demeanor of a scholar.
"Okay, okay, don't bow down, I can't bear it." Zhao Tieniu waved his hand, then stepped into the yard to meet Song Jiang.
Song Jiang was reading the account book in the study at this time. It was the account of the protection fee that Liangshan received this autumn. Because he had attacked Fanjiazhuang before and established his power in the world, Liangshan's current situation is quite good. It seems that at the end of this year, the brothers can share gold and silver again.
Just as he was thinking about how to share the money, Zhao Tieniu's voice came from outside the study: "Is Brother Song Jiang here?"
"Brother Thirty-sixth, come in." Song Jiang continued to look at the account book with his head down. After hearing Zhao Tieniu's footsteps, he said the word "sitting".
"Brother Song Jiang," Zhao Tieniu said after sitting down, "When I came in just now, I saw Fan Xiucai kneeling at the door, and said that he had been on a hunger strike for more than a month..."
"Yes." Song Jiang responded, not saying anything.
"Brother Song Jiang, I don't think this will be a solution."
"What should I do?" Song Jiang asked back, "You can't let him surrender, right?"
"Brother Song Jiang," Zhao Tieniu smiled, "he is not going to surrender, but to take the imperial examination for the Jinshi."
"What's the exam? He's still wanted now!" Song Jiang sneered, "If you really want to surrender, your life will be gone."
"Not it?" Zhao Tieniu said, "He didn't do anything."
"Why not?" Song Jiang snorted, "Now the Fan family in Yanggu has collapsed, Yanggu County is the world of Ximen's family. 36th brother, you don't know yet, the Ximen family in Yanggu has recently produced two military officers! This Ximen sister is really not with the wrong person!"
The local officials of the Song Dynasty usually relied on officials to control local situations, and officials were controlled by local powerful families. Originally, Yanggu County was the Ximen family, and the Fan family competed with each other. Now that the Fan family of Yimen has collapsed, two more officials have emerged in the Ximen family, and it is already the only one.
Therefore, the clerks in Yanggu County are now following the leader of the Ximen family. If Fan Zhijin surrenders to Yanggu County, his life will naturally be given away.
"You can't ask him to surrender." Zhao Tieniu knew best how terrible this clerk was when he was black. He shook his head and said, "But this Jinshi should still ask him to take the exam... If we pass the imperial examination, there will be people in the officialdom of Liangshan. If any brothers lose their fortune, there will be a way to rescue him."
Song Jiang burst into laughter when he heard this: "Brother Thirty-sixth, do you really don't know the rules? Do you think you can take the exam as long as you are an individual?"
There are "seven no" regulations for candidates for the test, including those who have committed criminal responsibility, which are the rules that those who have been criminally responsible are not allowed to take the test. Now Fan Zhijin is still wanted, so of course it is impossible to go to Yunzhou to take the test.
"If you don't go to Yunzhou, ask him to take the exam at Daming Prefecture."
"Go to Daming Mansion?" Song Jiang laughed, "You don't know that people with pseudonyms are not allowed to take the exam?"
Zhao Tieniu smiled: "If you catch it, you are a fake name. If you can't catch it, you can take the exam?"
"How to explain this article?"
"There is a way," Zhao Tieniu said, "Isn't Daming Mansion flooded a while ago? Many refugees arrived in Yunzhou. As long as they could find a family with a dead son, they could spend some money to make the 37th brother pseudonym the Imitation."
Song Jiang shook his head and said, "No, right? He still has to go to the county government under Daming Prefecture to issue a copy of the interpretation..."
"You can try it," Zhao Tieniu said, "Didn't Brother Thirteen have a good relationship with Yanggu County Magistrate Zhang Ke? You can also ask him for help. If you can ask County Magistrate Zhang to send him to Daming Mansion, there will be no problem getting the explanation of the original peninsula."
"The Zhang surname is willing to help? Is he not afraid of getting angry?"
"Not afraid," Zhao Tieniu shook his head, "How afraid is he? He is a general and a Jinshi."
Zhang Kegong is indeed not afraid. He is the pride of Kaifeng generals. Even if he covers up the Liangshan bandit Fan Zhijin, no one will be full and go to expose the investigation.
Song Jiang was a little moved now. In fact, it was useless for Fan Zhijin to stay in Liangshan. He would not kill people or set fires. It would definitely not work if he asked him to fight a disaster. Isn’t his ability to be in the imperial examination? If he really can win a Jinshi, it would definitely be beneficial to Liangshan.
After all, Fan Zhijin has gone up the mountain, and he is a pseudonym who is impersonated to take the imperial examination... This means that there is a handle in the hands of the heroes of Liangshan.
In addition, Fan Zhijin has my mother and son!
He can go down the mountain, but my mother and son have to be guests on the mountain!
...
Fan Zhijin finally went down the mountain!
Liangshan’s work efficiency is still very high.
Just the day after Song Jiang agreed to Fan Zhijin go down the mountain, the "half-legged Jinshi" bid farewell to my mother and the brothers of Liangshan, and followed Zhao Tieniu to leave the surroundings of Liangshanpo, dressed up as a businessman, and rushed all the way to Yanggu County.
For Fan Zhijin, this trip is really a waste of time! If he fails, it will not be three years later... Moral articles require full dedication. It is impossible to be a thief for three days and study for two days, which will only waste your knowledge.
If he fails, he will only die! On the way to Yanggu County, Fan Zhijin secretly made up his mind.
