Chapter 11 The forces in the capital

When Zhao Tong returned to the middle hall, Su Shi came to report that Monk Caitou from Daxiangguo Temple had been found.

It turned out that on that day, Zhao Tan ordered Su Shi to find Lu Zhishen, but he was not there at all in the vegetable garden. Zhao Tan thought that he should pursue Lin Chong, so he asked his men to divide into two groups, one heading towards Cangzhou, and the other to wait around the vegetable garden.

.

In the end, he was blocked on the way back to Tokyo. Lu Zhishen rescued Lin Chong in the wild boar forest, but also exposed his own traces.

He knew that the escort's guesses were unreliable, but he did not expect that after leaving, Lin Chong would even lie, and the two guards would secretly send a letter back and sell him out.

Su Shi sent people to block Lu Zhishen and almost made a move. It was not until Yu Longzhi's bodyguard said that it was the Second King who wanted to see him and not Gao Qiu who came to arrest him, and showed his belt, that he dubiously followed him into the city.

Zhao Tong knew that there were roughly three types of people in Liangshan. One was officials, who were originally officials who were forced to go to Liangshan, either by the imperial court or by Song Jiang.

The second type is the green forest people. Some kill people, set fire to homes, rob houses and sell human meat buns, while others perform tricks and sell dog skin plasters.

The three types are the powerful gentry and the powerful local households.

Among them, the first type is easier to fight for and easier to use, especially those who have served in the military. They are the first people Zhao Tong wants to gather.

He had a good impression of Lu Zhishen. Apart from being a bit reckless, this man had good character. The most important thing was that he had served in the Western Army!

Zhao Tong shook his head: "Not entirely, there should be someone behind it, otherwise, how could he fight against the Jinfengtang of the Cai family on his own!"

Broken Jade Building is called a building, and it is indeed a building. On the surface, it is a jewelry and jade business, but secretly it is a place where Zhao Tong gathers people from all over the world and collects intelligence.

Zhao Tong said: "I know it, but don't ask. Now I value you and want to give you a clear path. Are you willing?"

Huang Gu said: "Sir, I really can't hold back this time. The Seven Stars Association is determined to see our trump cards!"

Zhao Tong walked to the front hall, and within a moment, Su Shi introduced a fat monk. He saw this monk, wearing blue-gray monk robes, blue-and-white monk shoes, a string of large rosary beads around his neck, and half of his shoulder tattoos exposed.

.He has a bald head with ring scars, a round face with big earlobes, and a beard on his cheeks. His body is eight feet long, and his waist is ten girth wide.

Zhao Tong said: "You can stay here for a day or two and wait until I finish writing the letter before leaving."

Zhao Tongqi said: "What kind of wind can this Qixing have? It's not like the mangy dog ​​of Jinfeng Hall. It's always difficult to deal with."

Lu Zhishen glared at Su Shi. He was about to retort a few words, but then he remembered that he had made a mistake, and couldn't help but said: "The second king was serious about it, so he told the truth. When I was desperate, I had no choice but to do that one job."

Lu Zhishen was silent. He thought in his heart that he would go up the mountain and join the gang if he could not become a monk. But how could he say such words in front of the young prince?

The Broken Jade Tower wanted to run a jewelry and jade business in Tokyo, and it also had to collect intelligence. It was impossible not to get involved in this kind of force. After its establishment, it fought several times, but most of them did not suffer losses. It also established a name for a while, and it was easy to lose.

People dare to move.

Huang Gu was stunned for a moment and said: "Master Mingjian!"

These underground forces are not only making waves in the rivers and lakes, but they even have hands and eyes that reach the sky. With the support of nobles in the court, they are unscrupulous for a while.

When Lu Zhishen heard that there was no reason for his unwillingness, he prostrated himself again and said: "It all depends on the two kings."

When the monk heard this, he was overjoyed and said quickly: "If we find this way out again, we will be born again!"

Huang Gu came forward and bowed. Zhao Tong saw that there seemed to be an injury on his arm and said, "Tell me what happened slowly."

Zhao Tong saw that he did not call him Sajia, and knew that he was also a man of etiquette, and said: "I know your past, but you committed a crime before escaping from the army. Now you have hated Gao Qiu again in Tokyo City, have you ever thought about it?"

Where will we go in the future?”

Zhao Tong said: "Now that I am in charge of the imperial army, the northwest will naturally have to sell face. I can write a letter to let you return to the army, but you will not go back to Weizhou. Or go to Mr. Lao Zhongjinglue again, are you willing?"

"

Huang Gu said: "I have revealed a few things, but how can they believe it? Everyone knows my father's uncontested character. In the eyes of outsiders, he would not have anything to do with Suiyulou, let alone Suiyulou."

The backstage foundation of Jade Tower."

Zhao Tong looked at the man hurriedly rushing in outside the door. He was a burly man with a rectangular face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a lion nose and a wide mouth. He was Huang Gu, the owner of Suiyu Tower.

He reached out and touched his bald head and said, "How did the two great kings know about my past?"

Zhao Tong said: "In that case, I will defeat them for a while, and I will just expose the background of the Seven Stars Association."

The most capable Western Army in the entire Song Dynasty was an important vanguard in the future against the Jin soldiers going south. Although historically it was a big defeat in the end, this was the Water Margin, and with him here, there might be some changes.

Zhao Tong glanced at the Zen staff and sword thrown aside, and after calling him up, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Now that you are dressed like this, I have become wiser, but you are a bit ostentatious with your outfit."

Zhao Tong pondered for a moment and said, "Can you reveal the news about Mr. Huang?"

Su Shi, who was next to him, twitched his face when he heard this and interrupted: "Monk Mang, what nonsense are you talking about!"

The Seven Stars Association is one of the Three Tigers in the inner city of Tokyo. It is very powerful and mainly engaged in water transportation business.

Lu Zhishen said: "I also asked the two kings to know that Zhishen was born in the army. If he doesn't have weapons in his hands, he has no confidence in his heart. Even if he is walking on the road, he will never be at ease."

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I just like your temperament. Zhishen, let me ask you, would you like to return to the army again?"

Lu Zhishen said: "If there is a clear way, naturally I will not occupy the mountain and become the king."

Huang Gu said: "Sir, is Qixing one of Han Xiaohou's men?"

Zhao Tong said: "Having said that, after all, Old Scholar Huang is close to the official family, and he is even more favored for compiling the Wanshou Taoist Canon. Not to mention that your son is also true. Someone should have confirmed the news and knew that there is someone else."

Similarly, Broken Jade Tower has also intervened in the underground forces in Tokyo. As the largest city in the world today, people can say that there is a mixture of fish and snakes. There has always been a saying that there are three tigers in the inner city and five snakes in the outer city.

Huang Gu smiled bitterly and said: "I suspect that the Seven Stars Club has been taken advantage of by Jinfengtang. We and the Seven Stars Club have always been in conflict with each other and always dealt with Jinfengtang. This time they came out of the blue and were aggressive. It is impossible to say that no one was involved to fan the flames.

."

When Lu Zhishen entered the hall, he saw Zhao Tong at a glance. He was born in the army and had served as a minister, so he naturally knew etiquette. He didn't say much at the moment. He threw away the water-milled Zen staff, took off the sword and bowed down in the tunnel:

"Ruda has met the two kings!"

At this moment, Lei San suddenly came to report from outside the door, saying that Huang Gu of Broken Jade Tower wanted to see him.

After saying this, Zhao Tong looked at Lu Zhishen who was standing aside. Lu Zhishen was confused at this moment. In the world, only the capital city was the most complicated place. It was often colluded and intertwined. It was far less smooth than the outside world.

Zhao Tong said: "Zhishen can go fight in the evening?"

Lu Zhishen said: "Very good, this Zhishen is good at it!"

Zhao Tong laughed and said: "We have a wine feast, we are so full and drunk that we can kill people!"
