"Sir Song, what do we do now? Should we...go ahead?"
After running out of the inn, Song Jiang caught his breath and calmed his pounding heart. One of the constables, still shaken, asked Song Jiang a question.
"Uh..." Upon hearing this, the other constable quickly shook his head, saying with lingering fear, "You can go if you want, I dare not go again. Just being angry can scare a person to death, I don't want to walk through the gates of death again. You don't know, just now when he grabbed my neck, I felt like killing me would be easier than killing an ant. Killing an ant requires bending over to press it down, but killing me doesn't even require bending over."
"Song, the clerk, and what about you?" the head constable asked.
“We didn’t choose the right time to come. Let’s come another day!” Upon hearing this, Song Jiang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, “This person is clearly angry today. We came at the wrong time. Let’s wait until he calms down before we come back! Otherwise, we might really lose our lives.”
After saying this, Song Jiang headed towards the county government office. Song Jiang was still afraid. This mysterious and mighty general had become so powerful that it inspired fear and made people tremble with fear upon seeing him.

"Song Jiang, the Protector of Justice, the Timely Rain, humph!"
Inside the inn, after driving away Song Jiang and his two companions, Wang Han snorted coldly, his lips curling into a look of utter disdain. In Wang Han's eyes, Song Jiang was clever, yet also incredibly foolish; otherwise, he wouldn't have met such an ignominious end.
While Song Jiang enjoyed a good reputation among the outlaws, his underlying character was flawed, which was why Wang Han despised him the most. Even if Song Jiang's desire for amnesty wasn't inherently bad, even if he remained loyal to the Song Dynasty, and even if his ideas were beneficial to the Song, his actions were still unacceptable given his character. Not only did he ultimately meet an unjust end, but he also harmed many others in the process.
"It seems that the plot to seize the birthday gifts will take some time to unfold!" Wang Yan muttered to himself as he sensed that Song Jiang and his companions had moved away from the inn.
Who is Wang Han? Having experienced countless worlds, he is not only powerful, but also possesses profound knowledge of astronomy, geography, humanities, the universe, biology, pharmacology, and the principles of reincarnation and destiny. Although he only glanced at Song Jiang and his companions before dismissing them, Wang Han had already calculated their fates. While the three were showing signs of losing their official positions and becoming outlaws, this was only just beginning to emerge. The major turning point would occur in four months, and the actual loss of their positions and becoming outlaws would take another six months. What was happening now was only the beginning.
In other words, the three of them have only just been entangled with someone planning to rob the birthday tribute, or someone who is planning to rob the birthday tribute. They may have just gotten involved. The actual robbery of the birthday tribute will not happen for about four months. It will be even more difficult for Song Jiang and his group to be exposed and lose their official positions and become outlaws for another six months.
"Should we go check on the other Liangshan heroes first?" Knowing there were still several months left, Wang Han couldn't help but think of this. When he had just driven away Song Jiang and his two companions, Wang Han had placed coordinates on them so he could monitor them at any time and wasn't afraid of missing anything.

Meanwhile, in Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty, a junior officer rode a fast horse through the streets and rooms, leaving behind a trail of chaos, before finally stopping at the gate of the imperial palace.
"Halt! Who are you?" At the palace gate, the imperial guards shouted as soon as they saw the young officer riding at full speed. At the same time, soldiers holding spears quickly stepped forward and pointed them at the young officer. On the palace wall, a dozen archers had already drawn their bows and aimed them at the young officer. If he dared not stop, they would immediately fire their arrows.
"Whoa..." Upon seeing this, the junior officer quickly reined in his horse, took out a token from his waist, and shouted, "I am the military officer in charge of transporting Huashigang. I have an urgent matter to report to His Majesty. It is extremely urgent."
After saying that, the junior officer tossed the token over.
The officer guarding the city caught the token thrown to him. After examining it carefully, he shouted to the other soldiers, "Let them pass immediately."
Upon hearing the order, the soldiers guarding the city gate quickly made way.
"Giddy up..." Upon seeing this, the junior officer immediately spurred his horse and galloped towards the palace. As he passed the officer guarding the city gate, he reached out and took the token handed to him by the officer.
The palace was heavily guarded, with gates, guards, and checkpoints. However, the junior officers were allowed to pass by with their tokens and urgent instructions. Only when they reached the main hall did they dismount and run into the hall at the command of the palace guard general.
…………
About half an incense stick's time later, a general, a minister, and an old eunuch hurriedly followed the young officer out of the main hall. More than twenty imperial guards arrived on horseback, and after handing several horses to the general, minister, and old eunuch, the minister and general led the imperial guards on horseback, following the young officer as they galloped out of the palace towards the direction from which the Huashigang had been transported.

On the other side, on the official road outside Yuncheng County.
Wang Yan rode a massive, white-armored rhinoceros, nearly three meters tall, clad in heavy armor, and with a multi-barreled machine gun mounted on its back, while reading a beautifully bound storybook called *Water Margin*. Yes, he was reading *Water Margin*, specifically the *Water Margin* set in the world of *The Wandering Earth*.
"Who should we go see first? Let's go see Wu Song at Jingyang Ridge, Xiao Bai." After reading the part about Wu Song and the tiger at Jingyang Ridge, Wang Han finally decided who to visit first. Wu Song was someone Wang Han respected, and one of the characters in Water Margin who ultimately survived and achieved a good outcome.
Compared to Song Jiang, Wu Song's character was undoubtedly far superior. He was simply unlucky and forced into banditry. Wu Song was a true hero. He killed to avenge his brother Wu Dalang's murder, was exiled, and then pressured by the government to kill him, ultimately leading him to become an outlaw. Wu Song never killed without cause, unlike Zhang Shun and his brother, who were bandits who robbed the Xunyang River before joining Liangshan. Once on a boat, they would kill anyone who couldn't pay, regardless of their character, throwing the body into the lake.
Unlike Li Kui, who, with his reckless nature, couldn't distinguish right from wrong.
Among these Liangshan heroes, some even ran black market shops selling human flesh buns.
"Hey boss, can you please stop calling me Little White? That name doesn't suit my imposing presence. I have a name: White Iron Body." Hearing Wang Han call him Little White, the white-armored rhinoceros riding Wang Han immediately complained. If anyone were to pass by, they would be terrified. This white-armored rhinoceros wasn't the Ironclad Divine Rhinoceros. The Ironclad Divine Rhinoceros was like an emperor in the Divine Might Space, managing the many rare and exotic beasts under Wang Han's command and maintaining order within the space. This white-armored rhinoceros was a demon that had become a spirit in Uncle Nine's world.
"I know, Xiaobai," Wang Han said nonchalantly.
Hearing Wang Han still call him Xiaobai, Xiaobai could only shut up and accept it. Xiaobai it is, after all, you can't fight city hall. He couldn't even get a grip on the boss's leg, let alone the very, very, very big boss's leg. He couldn't even get a hair on the leg.
(This is a hierarchical management system, so it's the top-level system.)
