Chapter 56 Three Women and a Drama
…
When Jiang Hongfei and Li Shishi appeared together, Lu Zhishen and others were still waiting for Jiang Hongfei. There was a table of delicious food, but they were so hungry that no one took a bite first.
Jiang Hongfei hurriedly clasped his fists: "My fault, I didn't ask everyone to start the table first. You don't have to wait for me. Sorry! Sorry! Come on, let's start the table quickly!"
Lu Zhishen said: "Your Majesty, please don't worry. You and Lady Li haven't seen each other for a long time, and we came here to disturb you. You should explain the cause and effect to Madam Li."
There was no ambiguity or ridicule in Lu Zhishen's words, but a very serious statement.
In fact, Lu Zhishen, including everyone else, all thought that Jiang Hongfei and Li Shishi had known each other for a long time, rather than being new acquaintances.
It is actually normal for Lu Zhishen and others to think so.
First of all, even Lu Zhishen and others did not believe it. When Jiang Hongfei and Li Shishi met for the first time, they communicated in depth all night.
In the view of Lu Zhishen and others, even if Jiang Hongfei had this idea, Li Shishi would not be able to follow Jiang Hongfei easily.
You know, although Li Shishi is a singing girl who was welcomed and sent away, her other identity is the woman of Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty. How can others easily get hold of her?
The key point is that at this moment, Li Shishi accompanied Jiang Hongfei to meet everyone and entertained everyone as the master, which was enough to show that Li Shishi was not passive, but voluntary.
This further shows that the relationship between Jiang Hongfei and Li Shishi is unusual.
Furthermore, after everyone made a fuss in Tokyo, Jiang Hongfei did not escape to the place next to him, but took everyone to escape to Li Shishi, which also shows that Jiang Hongfei should have known Li Shishi for a long time.
In short, in the eyes of Lu Zhishen and others, Li Shishi was Jiang Hongfei's lover in the past.
This kind of thing is normal in Water Margin. Didn't you see that Shi Jin had an old friend in Dongping Mansion, the prostitute Li Ruilan, and An Daoquan had a close personal relationship with Li Qiaonu, a fireworks woman in Jiankang City.
However, Jiang Hongfei's act was a bit too generous, and he dared to steal the woman of Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty.
Jiang Hongfei did not explain that he and Li Shishi met by chance and all this happened. Instead, he asked Lu Zhishen and others to eat first.
During this process, Jiang Hongfei did not shy away from suspicion and kept picking up vegetables for Gaoliang. Gaoliang did not dare to raise his head the whole time and could only eat there silently.
At the same time, Jiang Hongfei also greeted Lu Zhishen and Chen Liqing warmly.
After three drinks and five dishes, Lu Zhishen took the initiative to talk about his own identity:
"The Sa family is none other than me. I belong to Lu Tixia, an old official in Yan'an Prefecture and a former military officer. Because he was beaten to death by three punches in Zhen Guanxi, he went to Mount Wutai to become a monk. People saw flowers on the Sa family's back. Embroidery, everyone calls me the flower-making monk Lu Zhishen.”
Chen Liqing asked: "Why did you, a great monk, kill Gao Yanei?"
Lu Zhishen was very fond of Chen Liqing, who killed people easily. He said:
"It's hard to describe in one sentence. The Sa family was managing the vegetable garden at Daxiangguo Temple. When they met Lin Chong, the leopard-headed man, Gao Qiu wanted to frame him for his life. Seeing an injustice on the road, I sent him straight to Cangzhou and saved his life. I didn't want those two people who were trying to prevent him from being sent to the public. When I came back, I told Gao Qiu that the Sa family was in trouble. Gao Qiu told the elders in the temple not to let me hang out, and he also sent people to arrest the Sa family. "
After a pause, Lu Zhishen said again:
"Gao Yanei, because Gao Qiu cherished him. He relied on his power in Tokyo and devoted himself to his wives and daughters. People in the capital were afraid of his power, and no one dared to argue with him. The Sa family thought that the Sa family could not kill such a big man. If you still can't kill the little one, you have to leave. Why don't you kill Gao Yanei for the sake of the people? Unexpectedly, he accidentally alerted him last time and this time he used a trick to make money for the family. Gou, the Sa family almost fell into his trap, but a few heroes rescued him."
Chen Liqing, who hated Gao Yanei to death, immediately picked up her wine glass after hearing Lu Zhishen's words: "The slave family proposes a toast to the hero."
After saying this, Chen Liqing drank it all in one gulp.
In an instant, the pretty face of Chen Liqing, who was not overly drunk, turned pink and white, adding a bit of drunken beauty to her.
This made Jiang Hongfei stunned for a moment: "Should I say it or not, put aside the murderous nature, this silly girl is so beautiful!"
The changes in Jiang Hongfei's expression all fell into the eyes of Master Li, who was very good at observing words and expressions.
Li Shishi, who was confident in her own beauty before, immediately became unconfident after meeting Chen Liqing.
This is not to say that Li Shishi thinks Chen Liqing is prettier than her.
But Mr. Li knew that those who married with a lot of money were those with perfect bodies, those who were carried in eight-carriage sedan chairs were ladies of the world, those who were married by bright matchmakers were virtuous and virtuous, and those who were married by three matchmakers and six hires were well-educated and sensible.
Master Li asked himself: "Which one should I take?"
Especially when Li Shishi saw that Jiang Hongfei was better at Gao Liang, who was not as good looking as her and Chen Liqing, Li Shishi suddenly understood that Jiang Hongfei could have fun with her, but he really wouldn't have anything to do with her.
Moreover, Jiang Hongfei didn't brag before. He dared to recruit a reckless hero like Lu Zhishen who dared to kill Gao Yanei. What he did might be a business of murder and arson. It was possible that Jiang Hongfei was not afraid of Zhao Ji. This means that Jiang Hongfei doesn't want her and it has nothing to do with her being Zhao Ji's woman. It's just because she's not worthy of Jiang Hongfei being an enemy of Zhao Ji for her.
Master Li once thought, “When the forest is deep, I see deer, when the sea is blue, I see whales, and when I wake up from a dream, I see you.”
At this time, Master Li discovered that "when the forest is deep, the fog rises, and I don't know where to go", "when the sea is blue, the waves surge, and I can't stand back", "when I wake up from a dream, the night continues, and I am panicked", no deer, no whale, and no you.
Li Shishi understood a little bit, "Love and romance are ruthless and people are in trouble", "Old trips are like dreams and heartbreak".
After dinner, Jiang Hongfei invited Lu Zhishen to the side and said, "When interacting with a hero like the master, I have to tell you my real name. I am Jiang Yan, and I am the leader of Liangshan Village. Brother Lin Chong has come to me, and I can take his family away."
When Lu Zhishen heard this, he bowed and said, "I heard that there was a great sage in Jizhou Prefecture who was as righteous as gods and Buddhas. Could it be my brother?"
Jiang Hongfei smiled and said, "It's not worth mentioning that you are a fellow villager."
Lu Zhishen said, "Brother, you don't need to Modestly speaking, what my brother did has long been known in the martial arts world. He has saved countless lives and made great contributions. Only nicknames like Gai Shenfo and Tian Dasheng are worthy of my brother. "
Jiang Hongfei did not continue the topic, but said: "Brother Lin Chong knows his previous mistakes and regrets them very much. I specially asked Xiaoke to invite the master to Liangshan to rest his horse. When the master goes to Liangshan one day, brother Lin Chong will toast to the master to apologize. "
Lu Zhishen is a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. How could he easily forgive Lin Chong who repays kindness with hatred?
But Jiang Hongfei spoke up. Lu Zhishen, who was desperate and really willing to join Liangshan, could only say: "Since my brother is talking for Lin Jiaotou, I won't argue with him. "
Jiang Hongfei is not a saint. It is not good for Jiang Hongfei to rule Liangshan if his subordinates are too harmonious. How can he really force Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen to reconcile?
Moreover, Jiang Hongfei also felt that Lin Chong did something wrong in this matter. If he had to choose, he would stand with Lu Zhishen.
Then, Jiang Hongfei told Lu Zhishen that there was a secret passage here, and when it got dark, they would leave through the secret passage.
Lu Zhishen was overjoyed: "I will listen to my brother."
Jiang Hongfei invited Chen Liqing aside again and said: "The trouble we have caused this time is not small. I am afraid that this young lady from Tokyo can't stay here anymore. I wonder what plans the young lady has?"
Chen Liqing then realized that she might have implicated her father Chen Xizhen, and immediately wanted to find Chen Xizhen.
Fortunately, Jiang Hongfei was quick and pulled Chen Liqing back, saying: "Your father is powerful and alert, nothing will happen, young lady doesn't have to worry about him."
Chen Liqing thought about it, too. His father seemed to be omnipotent, and nothing should happen.
Then, Chen Liqing frowned and thought about it. She seemed to have nowhere to go.
It is said that women in this world pay attention to the three obediences and four virtues.
In Chen Liqing's case, she should have followed her father Chen Xizhen.
But this road seemed to be blocked.
For a moment, Chen Liqing really didn't know where to go next?
Seeing this, Jiang Hongfei suggested: "How about this, the young lady goes to Xiaoke first, and when Xiaoke finds out about your father, the young lady will go to another place?"
Chen Liqing thought that there was no better choice now, so she agreed: "Then I will bother you, sir."
After the two of them finalized the matter, Jiang Hongfei also told Chen Liqing about the secret passage here.
In a short while, everyone present knew about the secret passage here, and finally knew why Jiang Hongfei brought them here.
This made everyone who thought they were desperate cheer and whispered about Jiang Hongfei's calmness in the face of danger and his flawless work.
Listening to everyone whispering about the secret passage, Li Shishi was shocked and puzzled: "How did he know that I have a secret passage? Isn't this a secret that few people know?"
Li Shishi had too many doubts, so she said to Jiang Hongfei: "Sir, please follow me upstairs. I have something important to tell you..."
