The Wu Da official, who was holding the soft and soft female hero and playing with a bunch of soft objects, thought of the beast fighting chess he played when he was a child. In the beast fighting chess, the elephant is extremely fierce. Lions, tigers, leopards, dogs, and cats can all be killed, but he is afraid of the little mice...

The current Song Empire seems to be the same. The noble civil servants and officials are elephants, such as nobles, military officers, eunuchs, officials and merchants, wealthy merchants, powerful merchants, etc., are not in their eyes, except for the existence of the heroes of Liangshan!

Because the Song Dynasty system emphasized culture over military affairs, and it was that the king and scholars shared the world. As long as they did not dare to challenge this system publicly, even if they held heavy troops in Yue Wumu, they would only go to Fengboting. The heroes of Liangshan were outside this system. Although the literati of the Fan family could bully a powerful man like the Ximen family, they would meet a bandit in Liangshan... that would be "a rat defeated an elephant."

From a certain perspective, the idle and idle men in Kaifeng Prefecture are also "rats" raised by the nobles of the generals. However, these "rats" are raised in Kaifeng Prefecture. They are not as "rude" as the heroes of Liangshan. They can only make trouble for the noble civil servants and cannot really use their knives.

However, it is enough for civil servants and officials to bear it. If you set a fire in Kaifeng Mansion, or get some beggars to enter the city to pretend to be refugees, it will cause a headache for the big men of the two palaces.

If this kind of relationship of "beast fighting" is involved in Yunzhou, the Fan family literati can suppress the powerful Ximen family, and the powerful Ximen family can drive the heroes of Liangshan, and the Liangshan heroes can beat the Fan family literati.

This formed a subtle cycle, allowing the Ximen family in Yanggu, who had no official position, to maintain their status as a powerful man.

"It seems that I have to have my own 'Liangshan hero' in the future!" Wu Haogu thought to himself, "Otherwise, his status in Jiehe Commercial City will not be stable! This is probably the legendary self-respect of the bandits?"

...

As autumn approaches, Jishui-Liangshanpo-Wuzhanghe-Huangou and other waterways are about to usher in the busiest time of the year. Outside the Liangji Baoan on Cross North Lane of Xucheng, the new shopkeeper Zhao Tieniu was wearing a double-breasted long gown and holding a big palm fan. While fanning the air, he loudly directed more than a dozen men in high-end cleaning the door of the Baoan.

The so-called escort business is the escort business that emerged from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the predecessor of the escort business. The word "scort" comes from "scort and escort". As the name implies, escort means protection and escort, while escort means transporting bulk goods in batches. The cargo transport is loaded with a large number of escorts, and several escorts are grouped, one group called one escort, which is called "scort and escorts". In the early Song Dynasty, escorts were all official escorts, which were escorts by the people. It was a kind of corvee service. If it was lost, it was less, and it still needed to compensate. As a result, too many things were lost, and the people were unable to compensate, and most of them went bankrupt. Therefore, during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, military troops were refusal to protect the escort.

However, during the Renzong Dynasty, the Western Xia rose, Shaanxi and Hedong became the front line, and a large amount of supply was needed for the tutoring and transportation. So merchants were allowed to participate in the tutoring and transportation, salt and tea were rewarded to these tutoring merchants. After the merchants participated in the tutoring and transportation, they naturally had the need for tutoring services.

At the same time, the military officers responsible for the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the temptation of commercial interests could not resist the temptation of commercial interests, and the quantity and value of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custody of the custo

The Liangshan heroes who are mainly engaged in blocking the road and robbing will naturally not let go of the great fortune of the escort. Moreover, the Liangshan escort business is quite good. In the grounds of Yunzhou, Qizhou, Yanzhou, Jeju and Puzhou, who dares to rob the heroes of Liangshan? Liangshan is the largest group of bandits on the grounds of these five states, and they are amphibious. They not only occupy the small hill of Liangshan, but also dominate the lakes known as the "Eight Hundred Miles of Liangshan".

Unless there is a background that cannot be touched, anyone who dares not offer to Liangshan will surely have problems! It is not necessary to rob the ship, and it will be difficult to sink or overturn it. So even if the head of the backstage is as hard as the steel plate, he will also reward Liangshanpo for three melons and two dates.

In addition, the heroes of the martial arts who were entrusted to the ground in the five states including Yunzhou, Qizhou, Yanzhou, Jezhou and Puzhou also had to offer some offerings to Liangshan.

Speaking of which, the heroes of Liangshan are the parents of the five states’ custodians! Without them, they became bandits in Liangshan, would it be necessary for the big custodians to exist?

And those who dare not avoid Liangshanpo on the grounds of Yunzhou, Qizhou, Yanzhou, Jezhou and Puzhou are local tyrants and evil gentry like the Ximen family in Yanggu... If we do not use Kaifeng, Hebei imperial guards, or the "terrifying combat power" Western army, if we want to destroy such a hero in Liangshanpo, we can only let the local tyrants and evil gentry in the five states headed by the Ximen family do their best.

However, the relationship between the local tyrants in the Five Prefectures and Liangshan is very complicated. Sometimes they fight each other and sometimes cooperate and benefit each other... But there will never be any incident where the local tyrants in the Five Prefectures work together to destroy Liangshan!

Because Liangshan was destroyed, the local tyrants who were dancing with swords and guns would be bullied to death by the local wise men and doctors who read the books of sages.

Therefore, there are basically more cooperation and coexistence between the rich people of Liangshan and the five states, and fewer dogs bite dogs. For example, the fire in Daze Township, Feng County is really rare.

Therefore, Zhao Tieniu's career as a hero in Liangshan was completely different from what he had imagined before. He neither lived on the mountain nor had to block the road and robbed. Instead, he lived comfortably in the city of Zhixu City, Yunzhou Prefecture, and served as the shopkeeper of the escort business. He had a very uncomfortable life.

By the way, the custodian under Zhao Tieniu is actually a window to contact Liangshanbo and various heroes and essay merchants.

It is almost autumn, and the waterway is coming. Zhao Tieniu also has to negotiate with all parties on behalf of Liangshanpo. The past year is very difficult for Liangshan. Because he was led by the fierce female Ximen in Daze Township, Fengxian County, he even lost a leader (Li Jinyi died in Yingtian Mansion a few months ago because of his serious injury). His reputation in the world has plummeted, and he had to lower the protection fee, so everyone's life has been harder.

I hope I can get some money this year... Zhao Tieniu hugged his arm and looked at the minions who were working hard to clean, and couldn't help but frown.

It is not easy to increase the protection fee, unless Liangshan can make a "big deal" as soon as possible to boost its reputation in the world.

Zhao Tieniu, who was thinking about how to increase the price, suddenly heard a scattered sound of horse hooves at the entrance of the alley, and more than a dozen horses were running towards this place. Everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes. Zhao Tieniu also looked up, but saw that a tall horse was a young woman. Behind this woman, there was a horse holding a blue flag with the words "Ximen" written on it.

The visitor is the super fierce Yanggu female hero Ximen Qing!

Although many ignorant and foolish people in Yanggu County have made up jokes about the heroine Ximen, in the world of Jingdong East Road, the heroine Ximen is still famous!

Because the heroine Ximen led people to beat Chao Gai in Daze Township, Fengxian County, the hero of Liangshan led by Song Jiang was beaten to a bruised face. The fourth leader of Liangshan Li Jinyi died, and the leader Chao Gai was even ruined...

Moreover, after the battle in Daze Township, the heroes of Liangshan did not dare to seek revenge on the Ximen family, so the reputation of the Ximen female hero was naturally shocking.

"Hurry, open the main door quickly, please invite the Female Simen!"

Zhao Tieniu ordered repeatedly that the gate of Liangji Baobao was opened, and the shopkeeper Zhao seemed to have no idea that the female hero Ximen beat the hero of Liangshan at all. He looked forward with a smile on his face: "Ah! But the female hero Ximen in Yanggu? I don't know that the big boss is coming, I will be in a farewell welcome. I will forgive you for your crimes... This hot day, please get off the horse and sit in the business for a while."

Ximen Qing also bowed his hand politely, then lifted his robe and dismounted, and asked with a smile: "You are Zhao Sanshiliu? You have been admired for a long time, long time."

Thirty-six is ​​Zhao Tieniu's ranking among the heroes of Liangshan. In reality, Liangshan has no 108 heroes, only 36 leaders. After Li Jinyi's death, there were only 35 left. Zhao Tieniu happened to make up for it, so he ranked 36.

"Carry all the boxes in!" Ximen Qing ordered several warriors from the Ximen family behind him, and then followed Zhao Tieniu and walked into the gate of Liang Ji Baozhang.

At this time, Zhao Tieniu discovered that there was a horse-drawn cart behind Ximen Qing's group. There were a few boxes that looked heavy, and I don't know what it was inside.

In the lobby of the escort shop, Zhao Tieniu presented fragrant tea with someone, and then asked carefully: "I don't know what the heroine is doing today?"

Ximen Qing smiled lightly and said, "Brother Thirty-sixth, I am leaving this because I want to invite the heroes of Liangshan to do a big deal."

Zhao Tieniu smiled and said with a pity: "I don't know what a big deal? It's on land or water? It's planting meat (killing people), cutting poles (trafficking the way), or pulling stakes (killing the farm)?"

What he said was a slander, and Ximen Qing could understand it. He smiled and replied, "I want to ask the hero to help pull a stake."

Zhao Tieniu continued to ask: "Which wooden stake (weak defense) or stone stake (strong defense)?"

Ximen Qing replied: "It's a wooden stake."

Zhao Tieniu asked again: "Where is the stake?"

Ximen Qingdao: "Yanggu County, Anle Town, a bowl of rice."
