Cai Jiu and other dog officials, including the royal family and the imperial court, no matter how much money they make, they are just meat saved for pirates. In order to disguise his identity and act conveniently, Mu Hong bribed the officials on both sides of the river as generously as possible. Anyway, it was only temporarily stored in the dog officials up and down, large and small, and when the time came, they were all taken back, and let the dog officials stick it clean.

Song Jiang didn't know the secret, but when he heard that even the most powerful official of the Great Song Dynasty, Cai Jing, the son of the prefect, was willing to give face to the Mu brothers, who were just grass people, he couldn't help but be so surprised that he almost bit the tip of his tongue.

How powerful is this Mu family's business?!

This person's ability (referring to Mu Hong) is really unimaginably big when you look at it like this, and people can't help but admire and sigh. It's really the best in the world.......

He confirmed that Mu Hong was not a pirate, it was nothing more than a little face in the pirate's business reputation, and his sinking heart turned to joy again. He loves Mu Hong even more. This kind of big gang talent who is emotional, trustworthy, persistent, and capable is as valuable as a rare treasure, and he has become acquainted with him, how can he let him slip away........

Mu Hong knew what Song Jiang was thinking, but he didn't know what he was doing.

His contact with Song Jiang and the so-called fate basically ended here. Song Jiang's enthusiasm is pure wishful thinking. However, Mu Hong made further arrangements for Song Jiang to serve his sentence in Jiangzhou City.

"I won't help my brother when he enters Jiangzhou, and my brother doesn't have to worry."

Mu Hong said and pointed at Ma Xiong: "Boss Ma has a dear brother named Ma Ying, who is a section level in Jiangzhou Mansion, and the official is not big, but he is in charge of the things that my brother is worried about." Although this brother of Boss Ma has a nickname called Smiley Impermanence, he is very righteous and willing to help friends who are enough friends. Officialdom, my brother knows that people who live there can't be rigid. Smiling faces and impermanence are all needs of the workplace, and they don't mean anything. My brother understands this kind of thing, and it is not difficult to understand. ”

Song Jiang really understood it as soon as he heard it, and he really understood.

No matter what kind of person Ma Ying is, the meaning of Mu Hong's words is to tell him: When the benefits are there, Ma Ying will really help.

is afraid that he will not do anything when he is an official, or even if he is so black-hearted that he will accept the money but not do it, he will eat people in vain. Be willing to help, that's enough.

Mu Hong said this about Ma Ying, and Ma Xiong felt a lot of face.

Originally, he had a more sinister reputation and a more stinky official brother, which was easy to talk about but not good, but after Mu Hong's introduction, it became a positive, understandable, and decent thing, and it was not ashamed.

Although Ma Xiong doesn't care about what is not famous, he also cares about his face in front of people, well, especially in front of new friends.

The most important thing to be black is to save face.

If you have face, you will have power, you can mix it up, and you will have the protection of interests, which is equivalent to having a position of power and seniority in officialdom. If you lose face, you will lose power, and it is difficult to guarantee anything.

Song Jiang was indeed worried about the difficulties that he would inevitably experience when he reported to the Jiangzhou government, and when he saw that Mu Hong didn't come to ignore him, he thought carefully and thoughtfully, and planned for him earlier, he couldn't help but be even more happy, and he was more enthusiastic about Mu Hong.

He followed Mu Hong's thoughts and smiled at Ma Xiong and solemnly hugged his fist, "In this way, there must be Brother Raoma." ”

Ma Xiong became more and more face-saving, and he was so happy that he showed his back sockets, and said again and again: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Regardless of whether he is friends with Brother Gongming, our brothers should take care of each other. Just talk about Boss Mu's face, since Boss Mu has confessed, then he has to do it. ”

There are good reasons why he is happy to be like this.

If you want to do something, you have to take benefits, otherwise who will give you real help?

People in the officialdom are already worthy of you if they don't do anything to deliberately make things difficult for you.

Mu Hong pushed the matter to him, in fact, he was also taking care of him to get benefits, otherwise, with Mu's prestige in Jiangzhou officialdom, it would be easy to solve it without coming forward in person, just sending a Xiao Si to find a relationship. There are people in Jiangzhou officialdom who are willing to actively contribute to Boss Mu's work, but they are afraid that they will not have a chance, and they can't rely on it if they want to........

Ma Xiong didn't know that Mu Hong was using this matter to further strengthen Song Jiang's relationship with him.

This kind of guy is just thinking happily: This Song Jiang, seeing the number of gift boxes brought on the boat is heavy, he must have brought a lot of money. If you don't have money, how can you call it timely rain, right? Song Jiang is also very generous, and he refuses to lose his friends........ That's it, hehe........

In order to make Song Jiang more friends when he asked him to do things, Ma Xiong hurriedly said: "Brother Gongming also used to eat in the public gate, and he must also understand the process torture that this fellow offender will suffer when he arrives at the distribution place. Not to mention anything else, just the spine of the hall and the 100 killing rods that enter the prison camp are not pleasant. I don't know how many conceited and iron-clad good men can't bear it and are ruined under the killing stick, and a good man is so wasted. How can a Sven scholar like my brother resist that. But with my brother's help, those two tortures can be avoided......."

Song Jiang understood what Ma Xiong meant, and he was indeed frightened by the spine of the rod and the killing stick, and couldn't help but say to Ma Xiong again: "In this way, I have to ask Brother Ma even more." Song Jiang is the most brotherly and righteous, and the others are all things outside the body and are insignificant. ”

Ma Xiong understood, became more and more happy, and couldn't help but praise this Song Jiang Song Gong is clear and real, can be a man, and is worth befriending........

Mu Hong watched coldly and sneered in his heart.

After the two got acquainted, Mu Hong saw that Zhang Kui, who couldn't help and didn't make any money, was dissatisfied with his greedy eyes, so he smiled and said to Song Jiang: "My brother will live in peace when he arrives in Jiangzhou." I don't dare to say anything else, only in terms of money, if there is a shortage, just send someone to my Mujiazhuang to get it. Don't go out of sight. ”

Song Jiang saw the hidden meaning in Mu Hong's eyes, and knew that Mu Hong was telling him: Get along with people like Ma Xiong and Zhang Kui, and what people in Jiangzhou will make friends with in the future, don't be reluctant to give up money, don't worry about the shortage of money and powerlessness to worry about life will be embarrassed, in this regard, Mu Hong is behind him, as long as he needs it, just spend it.

Mu Hong's meaning also hinted at Ma Xiong and Zhang Kui: You have good friends with Song Jiang, you have your own benefits, and you will never suffer losses, at least you can get a lot of light in money.

Song Jiang couldn't help but be grateful to Mu Hong in his heart, and he appreciated Mu Hong's character and ability more and more..... He just didn't think about how such an excellent character could be used by him Song Jiang as a junior brother. Song Jiang is too conceited to have this awareness, at least not in time.

In the final analysis, he didn't really take Mu Hong, who was just a reckless man, no matter how strong he was.

..............................

After trapping Ma Xiong and Zhang Kui, Mu Hong arranged for a small boat to send Wang Si to Jiangzhou City first to find Dai Zong, a festival-level Shenxing Taibao of the two academies, to contact...... Song Jiang came with a letter written by Wu Yong to his friend Dai Zong, in which Wu Yong asked Zaizong to take care of Song Jiang. Song Jiang needs to contact Dai Zong before going ashore to see if this Dai Zong can rely on it and be prepared, and he also wants to use Mu Hong's power to shock Dai Zong: My Song Jiang's name is heard all over the world, even in this strange Jiangzhou, there is great power to take care of face, don't you have to rely on Dean Dai. Don't think that I, Song Jiang, will fall into your hands......

In addition, he also needed to arrange a suitable place for Wang Si to settle down first, and store the more than 2,000 copper coins that he brought with him on this trip and packed several boxes........

Then, after Mu Hong invited Song Jiang, Ma Xiong, and Zhang Kui to have a final feast, he sent a boat to send them away.

..............................

As soon as Song Jiang arrived on the shore of Jiangzhou accompanied by Ma Xiong and Zhang Kui, Dai Zong came and was very enthusiastic about Song Jiang.

After saying a few words, Song Jiang knew in his heart: this Dai Zong, the deputy head of the former Yuncheng County, was a similar person to Lei Heng, the deputy head of Yuncheng County, who was a petty official with real power, greedy, and tyrannical in his power. But this is nothing, the officialdom at this time, especially the grassroots law enforcers, are all this characteristic, not greedy or tyrannical but abnormal, it doesn't matter if you are dirty, you are righteous, just enough friends.

With Song Jiang's eye for a very good understanding of the grassroots government, he could see the essence of the sect almost at a glance, and his heart suddenly fell to the bottom, and his heart became more and more happy.

Thinking back then, Lei Heng, who was so greedy and ferocious, was played by him in the palm of his hand, and he was Song Jiang's henchman, pointing to that and that. Now that he Song Jiang has experienced wind and rain, and his Taoism is higher, how can this Dai Zong be worried. will definitely be able to manipulate Dai Zong to be a brother with him and do his best for him.

In this way, there will be no problem in serving a short prison life in Jiangzhou, and you can also make many useful people, and when you are amnesty in the coming year, you will step into the officialdom to show your ambitions and make contributions...... With a little climate, you can try to get all the heroes you have made friends with under your hands, and form your own armed strength, and you can also be like Wen Chenghou........

Thinking happily, Song Jiang's smile was hot, and his bearing became more and more heartbreaking.

Dai Zong is conceited as an official, and he looks down on the so-called reckless heroes like Ma Xiong and Zhang Kui, and despises him as a damned untouchable bandit, and he is not a person all the way, although he is often called a tyrant in the city, and Zhang Kui and Ma Xiong, the two tyrants outside the city, are the same as each other, and they have long understood the ability and power of these two people in the past, but they have never had any contacts, let alone make friends, but they have always been well water and do not violate the river water, and each has its own hegemony, each seeking its own interests, At this time, seeing that Song Jiang really had a very good relationship with Ma and Zhang as Wang Si said, he still disdained Ma and Zhang in his heart, but the scene was naturally skillful and thoughtful, and he would not reveal his contempt and rejection of the two evils........

After some polite intimacy, he made an appointment with Ma Xiong and Zhang Kui to reunite in the future, and the two sides reluctantly parted, Song Jiang got on a mule cart and entered Jiangzhou City leisurely with Dai Zong. The two poor solutions naturally didn't have a car to sit on, and drove No. 11 to walk respectfully and honestly with the car, as if they were Song Jiang's followers........

Dai Zong runs a hotel. Song Jiang and his entourage naturally settled here first.

After the disaster, Jiangzhou City is the same as other cities, the population of citizens has plummeted, there are a lot of idle real estate, at this time there are few business travelers who dare to go out to do business, the road is too dangerous, the weather is cold, in the blink of an eye is the middle of winter is coming, not really have the strength, who dares to ask for money and not to die in a hurry to reopen business travel and sell goods to make money? Although Jiangzhou is located in the water traffic fortress, there are few outsiders in this season, there are very cheap idle houses in the city can be borrowed at will, only Dai Zong and his gang escaped the national disaster killing and robbery frenzy and also took the opportunity to make a national disaster, occupying several ownerless good real estate, the current very good hotel is one of them, although the money accumulated in the incident suddenly abandoned the house and fled was also looted, became a poor egg, but turned into a big real estate owner.

Song Jiang's concern about Wang Si's residence and his convenience were easily solved, and he lived in a property occupied by Dai Zong's gang.

Dai Zong and several of them all live in the hotel, one is for the convenience of the store, and the other is for the convenience of life, so as not to have to have to start a new stove for a meal, and besides, if they want to hire servants to take care of their lives, there is no one to hire. After the disaster, the people became landlords or property owners in the city, and they all made a living by themselves, who was willing to serve others as cheap slaves?

Therefore, Dai Zong and his gang dominated many properties, but they didn't go to live in them, and they couldn't rent them out, so they were all idle.

Song Jiang and Wang Si do not live in the convenient Dai Zong Hotel, but live alone in another courtyard, but it is to avoid people's eyes and ears, and it is the proper meaning to prevent taboos, after all, Dai Zong is a public law enforcer, and he is very famous in Jiangzhou City, very eye-catching, if he lives with a criminal like Song Jiang and mixes together, it is inevitable that he will be seen by someone with a heart, and something will happen. Song Jiang's master and servant live elsewhere, and come to the hotel for dinner or something, which is no problem, just as convenient.

The arrival of Hu Baoyi and timely rain Song Jiang actually made Dai Zong and his gang really happy, naturally it was money trouble, and there was no money.

Places such as Jiangzhou, Jiangnan or the north have developed water systems, convenient water transportation, and access to the sea, which are naturally looted even more miserably in national disasters. It was inconvenient for the defectors such as copper coins and grain to roll up a large number of things that quickly fled the Song Kingdom, and they were still swept away. At present, Jiangzhou can still have a large amount of grain to eat and reserves, and people will not starve to death or have to leave their hometowns to flee the famine, all because of the autumn harvest.

For Dai Zong and his gang, after the disaster, they had a house and a shop, and it was difficult to make a fortune cheaply, but they had no business. The hotel is crowded with few guests.

They are all poor.

Too many ordinary people have nothing in their hands, how can they have the money to enter the hotel to enjoy the service.

At present, those who can still have money to eat and drink are naturally people in the government, and they have the money and official expenses allocated by the imperial court, but they will not go to the shop of a clerk like Dai Zong to consume, and no matter how good the wine and food are, they will not come to patronize it. All go to the better hotels of the big officials..... Spending public money, being able to eat and drink well, and at the same time currying favor with Shangguan is tantamount to bribery in disguise, what is safer and more affordable and beneficial than this?

This account, everyone in the government can calculate it, and everyone knows the tricks, otherwise they are two fools, and it is impossible to stand in the public gate. In later generations, some hotels were extremely prosperous, while others just didn't work no matter how luxurious and high-end they were, and they just didn't work until they opened and fell short after they opened or changed hands.

Dai Zong's group, cousin Dai Quan, Dai Chun, plus fellow villagers Ji Ming and Monk Mao, five leaders, after the disaster, only Dai Zong received the Lu, and there was money to enter, although he was responsible for the two houses and the prison, he had a lot of oil and water, and the families of the criminals could not find ways to be filial and filial in order for their families to live better in prison....... If you don't do your best, you will take care of the jailers and soldiers who are in prison...... All of them are like man-eating ghosts. I don't know how many perverted humiliations and tortures my family has to suffer in prison, and it's not a matter for a good person to be inexplicably crippled or even suddenly "violently" die in it, nothing unexpected, it's normal. But this is no longer the case.
