The autumn wind and autumn rain are sad, and the heart is like kneeling alone in the cold night......

On this rainy and cold day in autumn, some people are happy and some are worried.

At the same time that the "Cheongju Meeting" controlled by Wu Haogu was going well, his rival Fan Zhijin, who was forced to go to Liangshan, had already made up his mind to go down the mountain and surrender.

He was forced to obey the thief, not by intention, so it can be clearly said...... At least in his mind, it was clear.

Therefore, from the first day of playing Liangshan, he was ready to slip away as soon as he had the opportunity, go to Yanggu County to find Zhang Kegong, and explain clearly what he had forced to go to Liangshan, so that he could sell his case record and go to the Jinshi examination.

As long as he is admitted to the Jinshi, the good days of Wu Haogu and Ximen Qing, the adulterer Yin woman, will come to an end!

And to go down Liangshan, it is not very easy. Although he is not in the "mountain" now, but lives in the manor of Song Jiang of Xiaoyi Heizaburo. But he was firmly guarded by Song Jiang's subordinates, where could he be allowed to "go down the mountain and surrender"?

Is there any mistake, how can the heroes of Liangshan surrender?

There is no such precedent! There are so many heroes on the rivers and lakes of Jingdong East Road, who has the fuck surrendered?

If you are recruited by the imperial court to be an eagle dog, it will be fine, many people on "Liangshan" have dreamed of recruiting An, but they surrendered...... Where is the face of the heroes of Liangshan going to put this?

Besides, will it end well if you surrender? The government is worried that it won't be able to catch the heroes of Liangshan, if you send it yourself, then you won't be charged with any crimes!

also made it clear that he was forced to obey the hero...... What words! If the official master wants to be so reasonable, there will be no unjust ghosts in the world!

Therefore, as soon as Hei Song Jiang heard that Fan Zhijin was going to "go down the mountain and surrender", a black head shook like a rattle, and he refused to agree to anything.

However, Song Jiang is also a reasonable robber, and he didn't invite Fan Jinzhi to eat bandao noodles because he wanted to surrender, but still left him in the manor to eat, drink and entertain...... This is "lifting people up the mountain"! It is a sign of Liangshan's prosperity, there are so many hills on Jingdong East Road, who has a person?

This is Liangshan's signboard, how can you be willing to chop it with a knife?

But after entering the late autumn, Fan Zhijin was a little anxious, and went to the courtyard where Song Jiang lived every day to kneel and go on a hunger strike to petition - autumn is the time to take the exam, if you miss the exam, then the three-year spring competition of Yuan Fu will be useless.

If Yuan Fu can't win the Jinshi in three years, then the next wave will have to wait for another three years! Thinking that the adulterer Yin could be free for another three years, Fan Zhijin hated it so much that he didn't want to eat, so he simply went on a hunger strike.

Today is a rainy day, and it is very cold, but Fan Zhijin, who has made up his mind, is still rain or shine, eats four meat buns in the morning, and after handing over the child to his mother to take care of, he went to the gate of the courtyard in Songjiang with an umbrella and knelt down on a hunger strike...... This kneeling and hunger strike, that is, the whole day, not eating a grain of rice, not a drop of water, is still very determined.

As soon as he knelt down, Song Jiang's courtyard came to the guest, and it was the thirty-six heroes on Liangshan, Zhao Tieniu, the "Smiling Three Blacks" - he didn't smile much when he was in Kaifeng Mansion, but after going to Liangshan, he greeted people with a smile all day long, so he was nicknamed the Three Smiling Sunspots.

"Ouch, Brother Thirty-Seven," Zhao Tieniu saw Fan Zhijin kneeling on the ground with an umbrella, and hurriedly smiled and went up to greet him, "You can also kneel when it rains today." ”

Fan Zhijin's identity is not a minion, he is a hero ranked thirty-seven in Liangshan! And there is also a gangster, the famous "half-cut person" is also!

Why "half-section"? He doesn't always kneel, he's half a cut shorter......

"Brother Thirty-six," Fan Zhijin sighed bitterly, "You also know, it will be released soon, if the date is missed, it will be wasted for another three years." ”

"Can you really get in?" Zhao Tieniu asked.

"Absolutely!" Fan Zhijin gritted his teeth and said, "I have been studying for more than 20 years, just to be able to make a name for myself in the science field, and then serve the country, establish a life for the people, and open peace for all generations." Although I have suffered a little setback, my ambition has not changed at all. If Second Brother Song doesn't allow me to go down the mountain, then I will starve to death outside his house! ”

"Starving?" Zhao Tieniu was taken aback, "Brother Thirty-Seven, do you want to go on a hunger strike?" ”

"Of course!" Fan Zhijin said, "I've been on hunger strike for more than a month!" ”

Hunger strike in January? Didn't starve to death? Is it a god?

Zhao Tieniu looked at Fan Zhijin, and sure enough, he found that he had lost some weight, but he was far from being a person who had been hungry for a month. He thought to himself: Is the legend that "there is white rice in the book" true?

"That's fine." Zhao Tieniu said, "I'll go and talk to Brother Song Jiang and beg him to allow you to go down the mountain to take the Jinshi exam." ”

"Then thank you Brother Thirty-Six." Fan Zhijin was moved for a while, and he ignored the decency of a scholar and bowed to Zhao Tieniu.

"Okay, okay, you don't want to worship, you can't afford it." Zhao Tieniu waved his hand, and then stepped into the courtyard to see Song Jiang.

Song Jiang was reading the account book in the study at this time, which was the account of the protection fee that Liang Shan received in this autumn. Because of the previous attack on Fanjiazhuang in the rivers and lakes, Liangshan's current situation is quite good, it seems that this year's New Year, the brothers can be able to divide gold and silver.

When he was thinking about how to divide the money, Zhao Tieniu's voice came from outside the study: "Is Brother Song Jiang here?" ”

"Brother Thirty-six, come in." Song Jiang continued to look at the account book with his head down, and after hearing Zhao Tieniu's footsteps, he said the word "sit" again.

"Brother Song Jiang," Zhao Tieniu said after sitting down, "When the junior brother came in, he saw Fan Xiucai kneeling at the door, and said that he had been on hunger strike for more than a month......

"Hmm." Song Jiang responded, noncommittal.

"Brother Song Jiang, I don't think it's a way to go on like this."

"What then?" Song Jiang asked rhetorically, "You can't let him surrender, right?" ”

"Brother Song Jiang," Zhao Tieniu said with a smile, "he is actually not going to surrender, but to be admitted to the Jinshi." ”

"What's the test? He's still wanted! Song Jiang sneered, "If he really wants to go down the mountain and surrender, his life will be gone." ”

"Not really, right?" Zhao Tieniu said, "He didn't do much. ”

"How not?" Song Jiang snorted, "Now that the Yanggu Fan family has collapsed, Yanggu County is the world of the Ximen family." Brother Thirty-six, don't you know yet, the Yanggu Ximen family has recently produced two military attachés! This Sister Simon really didn't follow the wrong person! ”

The magistrates of the Song Dynasty usually relied on officials to control the local situation, and the officials were controlled by the local powerful clans. Originally, Yanggu County was the Ximen family and the Fan family. Now that the Yimen Fan family has collapsed, there are two more officials in the Ximen family, and they are already a dominant family.

Therefore, the officials in the Yanggu County Yazhong are now looking forward to the Ximen family. If Fan Zhijin went to Yanggu County to surrender, his life would naturally be given away.

"You can't ask him to turn himself in." Zhao Tieniu knew best how terrible this official was when he was black, and shook his head and said, "But this Jinshi should still ask him to take the test...... In case of hitting, we Liangshan will have someone in the officialdom, and if any brother loses his wind, there will be a way to save him. ”

Song Jiang laughed when he heard this: "Brother Thirty-six, you really don't know the rules?" Do you think that as long as you are an individual, you can take the test? ”

There are "seven prohibitions" for test takers in the release test, including the rule that those who have committed criminal responsibility are not allowed to take the test. Now that Fan Zhijin is still wanted, of course it is impossible to go to Yunzhou to take the exam.

"If you don't go to Yunzhou, tell him to go to the Daimyo's Mansion for the exam."

"To the Daimyo's Mansion?" Song Jiang laughed, "Don't you know that you are not from your hometown, and fake impostors are not allowed to take the exam?" ”

Zhao Tieniu smiled: "If you catch it, it's a fake name impostor, can't you take the test if you can't catch it?" ”

"How do you get this explanation?"

"There is a way," Zhao Tieniu said, "Didn't the Daimyo's Mansion be flooded a while ago?" There are many refugees in Yunzhou, as long as they can find a family with a dead son, they can spend a little money to make the thirty-seventh brother impersonate under a false name. ”

Song Jiang shook his head and said, "No, right?" He also had to go to the county government office under the Daimyo Mansion to issue a document of explanation......"

"You can try it," Zhao Tieniu said, "Isn't Brother Thirty on good terms with Zhang Kegong, the Governor of Yanggu County?" You can also ask him for help, if you can get County Lieutenant Zhang to send him to the Daimyo's Mansion, there will be no problem in getting this Guan Jiewen. ”

"Willing to help? Isn't he afraid of getting burned? ”

"Don't be afraid," Zhao Tieniu shook his head, "What are he afraid of?" He is a general, and he is also a jinshi. ”

Zhang Kegong is indeed not afraid, he is the proud son of Kaifeng Jiangmen, even if he shields the Liangshan thief Kou Fan Zhijin, no one will have enough to expose the investigation.

Song Jiang was a little tempted now, in fact, it was useless for Fan Zhijin to stay in Liangshan, he wouldn't kill people, he wouldn't set fires, and it would definitely not work if he went to rob him. Isn't his ability to be in the imperial examination? If you can really get into a jinshi, it will definitely be good for Liangshan.

After all, Fan Zhijin went up the mountain, and he went to the imperial examination under a false name...... This is equivalent to having a handle in the hands of the heroes of Liangshan.

In addition, Fan Zhijin also has a wife and a son!

He can go down the mountain, but the old lady and son still have to be guests on the mountain!

……

Fan Zhijin has finally come down the mountain!

Liangshan's work efficiency is still very high.

On the day after Song Jiang agreed to Fan Zhijin going down the mountain, the "half-cut jinshi" said goodbye to the old lady and the Liangshan brothers, followed Zhao Tieniu and left the surroundings of Liangshanbo, dressed as a businessman, and rushed all the way to Yanggu County.

For Fan Zhijin, this trip is really a ruin! If you don't win, you won't have three years to go...... Moral articles also require wholehearted devotion to such things, and it is impossible to be a thief for three days and read for two days, which will only waste knowledge.

If you don't hit, you'll die! Riding a donkey and walking on the road to Yanggu County, Fan Zhijin secretly made up his mind.

This time, if you don't succeed in catching up with the exam, you will become benevolent! In short, no matter what, you can't go back to Liangshan to be a thief.
