Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Page 235

People all use "the city is high and the land is dangerous, the moat is wide and deep"; "the drum tower is majestic and the characters are prosperous"; Li Minju Shangguo" and so on to praise the second largest city in the Song Dynasty.

Because the Daming Mansion controls a large area north of the Yellow River, many celebrities and wise men were sent to this Daming Mansion to govern Anbang.Famous ministers such as Kou Zhun, Wang Qinruo, Lu Yijian, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu, etc. all served here one after another.

Liang Zhongshu, who is currently guarding the Daming Mansion in Beijing, is the son-in-law of Cai Jing, the prime minister of the current dynasty, and he can be regarded as an alternative famous minister of this dynasty.

Cai Jing placed his son-in-law in this famous mansion in Beijing as a left-behind, of course, because the prosperity of this place is second only to Bianliang, Tokyo, so that Liang Zhongshu can make a lot of money.

Sure enough, Liang Zhongshu lived up to Cai Jing's expectations, and his greed for money and greed flourished in Beijing's Daming Mansion.If not, how could Liang Zhongshu send the old father-in-law Cai Jing a birthday plan of [-] guan every year?

It is said that Liang Zhongshu is a different kind of famous official because of the reputation brought to him by this birthday outline.One hundred thousand guan is roughly equivalent to more than 3000 million yuan in later generations, which is really not a small amount.This guy is greedy quietly, but he blatantly sends so many birthday notes to Cai Jing every year, and everyone in the world knows it, clearly telling the world that he and Cai Jing are huge greedy.

Especially after the birthday outline escorted by Yang Zhi was robbed by Chao Gai and others, Liang Zhongshu returned the official document to the Jeju government, forcing them to solve the case within a time limit.That means: Sir, the [-] guan that I embezzled through hard work is used to honor the prime minister of the empire, my master, my father-in-law, there are thieves in Jeju who dare to rob my family’s property, do you still want to do it? up?If you are sensible, give the [-] coins to the master and I will find it out, otherwise the master will send you to Salmonella Island for vacation immediately!

This Liang Zhongshu was so arrogant, and the governor of Jeju was really frightened.Later, the case was solved, and Huang An and thousands of officers and soldiers were killed while chasing Chao Gai and others. Only then did the magistrate of Jeju pay a job with Liang Zhongshu: "Brother Liang, it's not that the brothers don't work hard, it's because the robbers are too much." Fierce!Brother, your family lost a hundred thousand yuan of wealth, brother, I lost thousands of lives here!

In this way, the magistrate of Jeju escaped a catastrophe at Liang Zhongshu's place.Liang Zhongshu naturally played enough prestige because of this matter, and became even more famous in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty.

Although Liang Zhongshu is a corrupt official, there are several capable generals under him.The two soldiers and horses under Liang Zhongshu's subordinates, "Heavenly King" Li Cheng and "Big Sword" Wen Da, both have unmatched courage. Li Cheng's "Pioneer" Suo Chao Neng and Yang Zhi are evenly matched, and they are also highly skilled in martial arts.Relying on these capable generals, Liang Zhongshu was able to secure the Daming Mansion so that it would not be harassed by Hebei bandits.

Ximenqing knew that there were three military officers with high martial arts skills in the Daming Mansion, and he had been thinking about how to get close to them and form a good relationship.

Recently, Ximen Qing's various businesses have expanded from Shandong to Hebei, and entered the most prosperous Daming Mansion, so Ximen Qing pays more attention to the people in this Daming Mansion than before.

It is said that the Daming Mansion in Beijing has outstanding people, not only Li Cheng, Wen Da, Suo Chao, who are outstanding military officers of the court, but also Lu Junyi, Yan Qing, Cai Fu, Cai Qing, who will be Liangshan heroes in the future!

Ximen Qing was walking on the main street of Daming Mansion, looking at the bustling and bustling scene in the city, he couldn't help feeling a little smug in his heart.In this big city with millions of people, half of the families have been saved by my Ximen officials!

Ximen Qing remembers very clearly that Liangshan robbers Song Jiang and Wu Yong used the most sinister and vicious serial schemes in history in order to bring Lu Junyi, who is known as the three best in Hebei, to Liangshan.

Wu Yong pretended to be a fortune teller himself, and asked Li Kui to pretend to be an ugly Taoist boy, and they mixed into the daimyo mansion together, successfully attracted Lu Junyi's attention, and were invited into the mansion to tell fortunes.

Wu Yong frightened Lu Junyi indiscriminately, saying that he had a bloody disaster, and he had to go to Tai'an Dai Temple to offer incense in order to avoid disaster.To go to Tai'an from Daming Mansion, you have to go through Shuibo Liangshan. Wu used this trick to trick Lu Junyi into passing through Liangshan, and then forced him up the mountain.

Before leaving, Wu Yong left another acrostic poem on the wall of Lu Junyi's house, which framed Lu Junyi's rebellion, and set a serial trap for Lu Junyi.

Let the Liangshan robbers Song Jiang and Wu Yong focus on them, and rack their brains to frame them. Lu Junyi, who is destined to force Liangshan, is nicknamed "Jade Qilin".

Lu Junyi's ancestral residence in Daming Mansion in Beijing, his wife's name is Jia, and he has two confidantes, Li Gu, the housekeeper, and Yanqing, the personal servant.

It is true that Lu Junyi's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world with sticks, and his reputation has shaken the rivers and lakes. In the future, after he became a bandit, he became the second village leader of Liangshan.But from Ximen Qing's point of view, Lu Junyi obviously used too much force to grind his muscles and bones, his head was full of muscles, and his IQ was seriously insufficient.

Wu Yong wrote an acrostic poem on the wall in front of Lu Junyi's house in front of him. The four words "Lu Junyi rebelled" together, but Mr. Lu didn't see anything wrong.

After Wu Yong left, Lu Junyi's wife, Mrs. Jia, and two confidants saw that it was probably the Liangshan bandits who were responsible, and advised him to ignore Wu Yong's nonsense and go to Tai'an, Shandong.

Although Lu Junyi also suspected that the Liangshan bandits were tricking him into going to Shandong, he was self-willed and didn't listen to the people around him.

Jia Shi, Li Gu and Yan Qing couldn't stop Lu Junyi, who was determined to die. The most unlucky housekeeper, Li Gu, was forced by Lu Junyi to go to Liangshanbo to seek death together. He really wanted to cry but had no tears.

Wu Yong's strategy of deceiving Lu Junyi to Shandong was not very clever, but Lu Junyi, the [-], thought he could go to the world with a pair of fists, so he really swaggered and went to Liangshan under the banner of challenging the Liangshan bandits.

The big fool Lu came to his door, and the bandits of Liangshan were naturally not polite. They fought around Lu Junyi and took him up the mountain without any suspense. The unlucky Li Gu did not escape.

After getting to Liangshan, the future development cannot be controlled by Lu Dafool.Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others let Li Gu go, but forced Lu Junyi to stay on the mountain for two months, forcing him to join the gang.

As the richest man in the Daming Mansion, Lu Junyi was a good official in front of him, so he naturally refused to join the gang in Liangshan.However, does he still have a chance to turn back?

Chapter 357 The Jade Kylin's Story

Lu Junyi wanted to die by himself, and single-handedly went to the foot of Liangshan to provoke the Liangshan bandits, and when he kept saying that he wanted to capture Song Jiang alive, he really didn't consider the safety of his confidant Li Gu and a dozen servants.

When Li Gu and others cried and begged Lu Junyi not to provoke the Liangshan bandits, how did Lu Junyi answer?He told everyone that anyone who dared not go with him would be stabbed to death by the side of the road!

What did Lu Junyi say?Isn't it the way of robbers to kill people with a knife if they don't agree with each other?How can you tell that he is a wealthy elder in Beijing Daming Mansion?

Lu Junyi's subordinates were forced to die at the foot of Liangshan by him with a knife, so how could they not complain and hold grudges against him?

When everyone was captured by the robbers and went up the mountain, and saw that the bandit leaders headed by Song Jiang respected Lu Junyi so much and asked him to sit in the middle when drinking, how would they view the relationship between Lu Junyi and the Liangshan robbers?

Song Jiang and Wu Yong let Li Gu and others go first, leaving Lu Junyi alone.At the foot of the mountain, Wu Yong told Li Gu that Lu Junyi had decided to join Liangshan and take the second place in the cottage, and that before Lu Junyi left the Daming Mansion, he had written Tibetan acrostic poems at home, indicating that he wanted to rebel. How could Li Gu not Doubtful?

After Li Gu and others narrowly escaped death and returned to the Daming Mansion, they saw Lu Junyi's handwritten anti-poetry on the wall at home?How can you not be afraid in your heart?

I'm afraid that at that time Li Gu already believed that Lu Junyi had a deep collusion with the Liangshan bandits, and it was very likely that he fell on the mountain and became a bandit.

When he suspected that his master would really be a robber, Li Gu had three choices at this time.

Li Gu's first choice was that he let Song Liangmin go wrong, and returned to Liangshan to follow Lu Junyi and become a bandit for the bandits.But Li Gu is not the kind of bloodthirsty and murderous pervert like Li Kui and Bao Xu, so how could he allow good people to become robbers?

Li Gu's second choice is to keep silent, wait and see what happens, and wait for Lu Junyi to come back to Daming Mansion after eating, drinking and having fun in Liangshan.At that time, Lu Junyi continued to be his rich man, and Li Gu continued to be Lu Junyi's confidant, and his life's glory and wealth were no problem.

But the risk of doing so is extremely high, what should the master Lu Junyi do if he really became a robber?Judging from all the signs, there is a high possibility that Lu Junyi colluded with the Liangshan bandits.If news of Lu Junyi's robbery was reported back to the Daming Mansion, Li Gu, who knew about it and failed to report it, would be a felony.Everyone in Daming Mansion knew that he was Lu Junyi's confidant, and he went to Liangshan with Lu Junyi.The government will definitely arrest Li Gu as Lu Junyi's accomplice, then who will Li Gu reason with?

If you don't want to be implicated by Lu Junyi, a muddled and arrogant former master, the only way is to report to the government that he went to Liangshan as a robber, so that you can clear yourself.And there were more than a dozen people who were put down in Liangshan together with Li Gu. If Li Gu didn't go to sue the officials, others would probably go too.Every day Li Gu delays, he will add a lot of danger to himself.

After thinking about it, for Li Gu, who is unwilling to be a robber, it is his wisest choice to sue the government as soon as possible.At that time, Li Gu saved another person he wanted to save before suing the official, Lu Junyi's wife Jia.

Like the family members of Huarong, Sun Li and others, if Lu Junyi was found to have rebelled and became a bandit, as Lu Junyi's wife, the Jia family would definitely be implicated.

Li Gu has feelings for that Jia family, how could he let Jia family be implicated by Lu Junyi.Before suing the official, he informed Jia Shi about Lu Junyi's going to Liangshan, and discussed with her.

Jia's choice is not much, either flee to Liangshan and reunite with Lu Junyi, and become a wife in the village; or take the initiative to sue the officials and separate from Lu Junyi, so as to protect himself.

Jia's family was able to marry Lu Junyi, a rich man who lived in Daming Mansion in Beijing, so he must be from a wealthy family. How could he be willing to go to Liangshan to follow a bandit leader?In order to protect himself and his natal family, of course he had to report Lu Junyi.

Therefore, in order to protect themselves and not become robbers, Li Gu and Jia could only choose to report Lu Junyi to the government.

To say that Li Gu and Jia deliberately framed Lu Junyi because of their adultery is to think from the standpoint of robbers.Master, I am going to be a robber, murder and set fire to violate the law of the king, you must still be loyal to me, master, and be a robber with me, otherwise, you will be disloyal to me!Can't you wait to be a robber and a good citizen?What a crime!

In fact, for Li Gu and Jia Shi, the two of them may not have had an affair before Lu Junyi went to Liangshan.

Before Lu Junyi went to Liangshan, because he had no choice but to practice martial arts, he was not good at women, and neglected Jia Shi. It is possible that Jia Shi secretly fell in love with the shrewd and capable Li Gu who gets along day and night.It is also possible that Li Gu, who is the general manager of the Lu Mansion, was attracted to the beautiful Jia Shi.However, it is unlikely that the two would have hooked up long ago.

When Lu Junyi and Yan Qing were both at the Daming Mansion's home, how dare Li Gu have the guts to have an affair with Jia Shi?

Even if Lu Junyi is confused, Yan Qing is a very delicate person.If Li Guruo had an affair with Jia Shi long ago, how could he escape Yan Qing's eyes?Naturally, it was impossible to hide it from Lu Junyi.

In fact, from the fact that Li Gu went to Liangshan with Lu Junyi, he was so frightened and crying on the way, it can be seen that Li Gu is a cowardly person.It is reasonable for such a person to be so frightened that he goes to the government to inform him, but it is absolutely impossible for him to have an affair with two fierce men.

In fact, Yan Qing had already made it clear to Lu Junyi. He told Lu Junyi that Li Gu and Jia Shi were in love in the past, but now they have opened the door to become husband and wife.

That is to say, after Li Gu and Jia's reported Lu Junyi's rebellion to the government, during the more than a month when Lu Junyi stayed in Liangshan, the two mandarin ducks with the same fate came together and became a couple.Yan Qing is only based on this and deduces that the two of them had a relationship in the past.

As for Lu Junyi's return to the Daming Mansion later, Li Gu and Jia's family reported to the government, and Li Gu arranged money up and down, killing Lu Junyi's life, which is perfectly normal.At that time, the two sides were already in conflict, Li Gu didn't punish Lu Junyi to death, but also waited for the village owner of the Liangshan bandit to punish him?

Therefore, when Lu Junyi and the big fool Lu went to single-handedly challenge Liangshan, he was already doomed to be a robber. How could he return to the Daming Mansion to become a rich man in the past!

When the wise Liang Zhongshu caught the traitor Lu Junyi, would he believe Lu Junyi's words?
