It's a pity that Chai Jin didn't understand Wu Yong's deep meaning in leaving Li Kui to him.Then Li Kui is a murderer with an unsound mind, let him stay by Chai Jin's side, are you afraid that Chai Jin will not break the sky?
Sure enough, Li Kui lived up to the expectations of Song Jiang and Wu Yong, and killed someone in Gaotang Prefecture, causing Chai Jin to be arrested and imprisoned.
In fact, Chai Jin would not be in a dead end at that time, his men were rushing from Cangzhou to Gaotang Prefecture with the Danshu Iron Coupon.After Chai Jin got his own amulet, he could go back to be his own high-ranking official safely after suffering some physical pain.
How could Song Jiang and Wu Yong let go of the opportunity created by Li Kui?They immediately sent troops to attack Gaotang Prefecture, threatening to rescue Chai Jin.
What Song Jiang and Wu Yong said made it clear to the people of the world that Chai Jin and the Liangshan bandits were in the same gang, and they committed the crime of rebellion and treason.
Now, not to mention the iron coupons of the Danshu, even the golden coupons of the Danshu can't save Chai Jin!After Chai Jin was rescued by Song Jiang and others, there was only one way left to go to Liangshan to become a robber.
Thinking of the shameless and obscene means used by Song Jiang and Wu Yong in history, Ximen Qing couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation and protested: Song Jiang stop, Chai Jin's family property is mine!
Chapter 385 Seeing the Righteousness and Bravely Starting the Mission
"Brother Ximen, are you going to use a brother this time?" When Ximen Qing was heartbroken that "Little Cyclone" Chai Jin's property was emptied by Liangshan robbers, and he couldn't sit still, so he went up against the case, Lu Xiaoyi saw Ximen Qing's eyes shine. , suddenly knew that the high official had another goal, so he got up and asked Ximen Qing.
"A senior official, and my brother Yun! What does the senior official have to pay?" Brother Qiao Yun is also a smart person, and then Lu Xiaoyi stood up.
Ximen Qing took a few glances at the two confidantes who first defected to him, and felt very satisfied.After these two years of experience, Lu Xiaoyi and Brother Qiao Yun have grown a lot.
Lu Xiaoyi has changed from a rogue boss in Yanggu County to a competent intelligence chief under Ximenqing's subordinates. The spies under his control are scattered in Shandong and Hebei provinces, bringing Ximenqing a steady stream of intelligence from all over the world.
When Lu Xiaoyi wiped out the rogue gang in Dongping Mansion of Yunzhou and dominated the underworld in Dongping Mansion, he still needed the help of Jiang Menshen.After that, when he infiltrated into the surrounding states, he was already fully capable of acting alone.That's why Ximen Qing thought of sending him to Bianliang, Tokyo to open up territory.
Compared with Lu Xiaoyi, Brother Qiao Yun has changed even more.The past two years have been the time to grow your body. Brother Qiao Yun ate and drank with Ximen Qing, and he grew a lot taller and his body became stronger. He grew from a monkey-like boy to a ten-year-old. A strong young man of seven or eight years old.
Brother Qiao Yun has met a nobleman since he followed Ximen Qing.Not only did he have no worries about food and clothing, he raised his father to be radiant, and he also learned martial arts from Ximen Qing, Luan Tingyu and others.Especially after learning the art of archery from Zhou Tong in Tangyin County, Brother Qiao Yun practiced good archery skills, and he seemed to grow into an outstanding young general under Ximen Qing's command.
Ximen Qing waved his hand to let Lu Xiaoyi and Brother Qiao Yun sit down, and sat back in the chair himself, first said to Lu Xiaoyi: "Brother Xiaoyi, brother, I do have something for you to do, but it's not about Lei Heng and Zhu Dian. I want you to go to Peach Blossom Mountain first, and bring my hand-painted drawings to Tao Zongwang, the 'Nine-Tailed Turtle', and ask him to build the castle according to my drawings. Then you go to the Baozhu Temple in Erlong Mountain for me, and quietly invite my brother , Lu Zhishen, the head of Erlong Mountain's flower monk, came to Yanggu County. Tell him..."
Ximen Qing gave Lu Xiaoyi a blueprint, and after giving Lu Xiaoyi face-to-face instructions, Lu Xiaoyi took the order and left, leaving only Ximen Qing and Brother Qiao Yun.
Ximen Qing asked Brother Qiao Yun, "What news is there on Mount Liang?"
Brother Qiao Yun replied: "Everything on Mount Liang is as usual, but the leaders seem to be planning to go to Cangzhou to invite Zhu Dian to go up the mountain."
Ximen Qing sneered when he heard this, it seemed that Song Jiang and Wu Yong, these two thieves, would not let Zhu Dian go.I just don't know which hero Song Jiang will send to carry out the task of torturing and killing four-year-old children after Li Kui's indiscriminate killing of innocent perverts is eliminated by him?
These Liangshan dog thieves don't stop for a moment!I just came back from Bianliang, Tokyo, a senior official, and I can't take a good rest for a while, so I have to go to Cangzhou, Hebei to fight for righteousness!This outstanding young man of the Huizong Dynasty in the Great Song Dynasty is none other than me, the official Ximen Qing!
Ximenqing asked Brother Qiao Yun to immediately invite Hong Zhen, the current owner of Dulonggang Hongjiazhuang, back to Ximenbao.Brother Qiao Yun also took orders to go.
Two days later, Brother Qiao Yun returned to Ximen Fort with Hong Zhen, and immediately came to see Ximen Qing.After Ximenqing saw Hong Zhen, he called Luan Tingyu, Jiang Zhong, Jiao Ting, Shi Yong and other brothers together, and told them about the Liangshanbo robber Song Jiang and others conspiring to go to Cangzhou, Hebei to earn money for Zhu Dian and Chai Jin to go up the mountain.
In the past two years, everyone followed Ximen Qing to gain a lot of advantage from bandits and robbers. Now that they heard that it was related to Liangshanbo bandits, they all cheered up and wanted to compete with that Liangshan bandit again.
Because Hong Zhen had served as a coach in Chai Jin's residence and was familiar with the real situation of Chai Jin's Zhuangzi in Henghai County, Cangzhou, Ximen Qing planned to take Hong Zhen with him when he went to Cangzhou this time.
However, after all, Chai Jin treated Hong Zhen politely.Although later Chai Jin liked the new and disliked the old, and asked Lin Chong to compete with Hong Zhen, taking the opportunity to suppress Hong Zhen, but Ximen Qing still needed to know Hong Zhen's views on Chai Jin.
All present here are the closest brothers, Ximenqing did not hide anything, and in front of Hong Zhen, he revealed his preliminary plan. Chai Jin and Liang Shanbo had already colluded together, and this time they wanted to use the Liangshan bandits to go to Cangzhou Taking advantage of this opportunity, he moved Chai Jin's family property back to Ximenbao by stealth.
After talking about his rough plan, Ximenqing asked Hong Zhen what his plans were for "Little Whirlwind" Chai Jin.
Hong Zhen thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, even though Chai Jin was disrespectful to me when he was competing with Lin Chong, after all, I, Hong Zhen, served as an instructor in his residence and ate his Chai Jin's meals, so, I want to let him go in consideration of old feelings, and don't hurt his life when I go to Cangzhou this time."
Coach Hong is no longer what he used to be!Ximen Qing secretly sighed in his heart.
If the head teacher Hong was so arrogant and unwilling to be humiliated back then, he might not be able to tolerate Chai Jin who humiliated him.But after Headmaster Hong killed Lin Chong, the hatred has been avenged, and more than half of the resentment in his heart has gone.In addition, after Ximenqing made Hong Zhen the owner of the original Lijiazhuang manor in Dulonggang, Hong Zhen no longer only trained soldiers by fighting and killing. His knowledge and mind have grown a lot.
What made Ximenqing even more secretly happy was that Hong Zhen didn't hide any nostalgia for Chai Jin from himself, which showed that he was open-minded and truly loyal to himself when facing him.
Although Chai Jin often shelters and protects desperadoes from the rivers and lakes, he has not committed any serious crimes himself, and Ximen Qing has no reason to kill him.This time, Ximen Qing just wanted to take the opportunity to drive him to Liangshan and take over Chai Jin's wealth himself. Therefore, he readily agreed to Hong Zhen's request and let Chai Jin a way out first.
After some discussion, Ximenqing decided to take three brothers Hong Zhen, Jiao Ting, and Qiao Yun to Cangzhou, while Luan Tingyu, Jiang Zhong, Shi Yong and other brothers stayed in Yanggu County to practice soldiers and horses to guard against the bandits in Liangshanbo .
This time, Ximenqing planned to transport a lot of goods from Cangzhou, Hebei to Yanggu. Therefore, he asked Hong Zhen to choose a hundred reliable locals who knew the way from among the Cangzhou victims he had taken in, and follow him to the north.
After Hong Zhen took the order and left, Ximen Qing took Brother Qiao Yun into Yanggu County. After presenting some gifts to the county magistrate, the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a long time. Ximen Qing took away many clothes worn by the officers from the county government.
After everything was in place, Ximenqing didn't care about being tender with the little ladies at home, and led a team of hundreds of people on the road to Cangzhou, Hebei.
Ximen Qing really didn't dare to stay longer, because he was going to Cangzhou before the Ghost Festival on July [-]th.
Chapter 386 Give You a Bandit Job
It was midsummer June when Ximenqing returned to Yanggu County from Bianliang, Tokyo.When he learned that Zhu Tingfa was dispatched to Cangzhou, Hebei, and that the Liangshanbo bandits had conspired to lure him up the mountain, Ximenqing dared not delay, and rushed to Cangzhou with his troops.
In Ximenqing's memory, Wu Yong and others attacked Zhu Dian during the Zhongyuan Festival on July [-]th, so he led his men to travel day and night, and finally arrived in Cangzhou City in early July.
Most of the subordinates brought by Ximenqing's selection were Cangzhou natives. Now that they returned to their homeland, each of them was proficient in geography, and soon led Ximenqing, Jiao Ting and others to lurk silently in this mixed Cangzhou.
First of all, Ximen Qing personally took someone to squat in front of the magistrate's yamen to investigate, and confirmed that Zhu Dian was working in the magistrate's yamen, and the small yamen of the magistrate's husband was safe and sound so far.
Knowing that his memory was correct, Ximen Qing, who was in front of Wu Yong and others, immediately dispatched troops to secretly monitor Zhu Dian in the magistrate's yamen and Chai Jin's manor outside the city.
Hong Zhen had worked as a coach in Chai Jinzhuang, and he knew all about Chai Jin's manors. Naturally, Ximenqing entrusted him with the task of monitoring Chai Jin, and asked him to lead a group of Cangzhou disaster victims to lurk in the Around Chaijin's mansion.
Jiao Ting also came to Cangzhou when he was running around by the river, and he knew some roads and roads.But Ximenqing's request is more than that. For future actions, he asked a subordinate who is very familiar with Cangzhou City to lead him, Jiao Ting, and Brother Qiao Yun to wander around Cangzhou City and find out the streets and alleys one by one. .
At the same time, Brother Qiao Yun also summoned him and the spies sent by Lu Xiaoyi to Cangzhou City earlier to assist Ximen Qing in controlling the overall situation.
Ximenqing's arrangement gradually took shape, waiting for Wu Yong and others to crash in.It's just that Wu Yong and others will still frame Zhu Dian as they remember?Could it have been swayed by a butterfly's wings somewhere?
Ximen Qing didn't wait too long, and the question in his heart was answered.Although Ximenqing killed Li Kui and weakened the strength of the Liangshan bandits, he did not change the despicableness of Song Jiang and Wu Yong.
On the tenth day of the seventh month, Wu Yong brought Lei Heng and Ma Lin to Henghai County, Cangzhou, and cast them in Chai Jinzhuang.After conspiring with Chai Jin, Chai Jin sent his subordinates to bring Wu Yong and three people into Cangzhou City the next day to familiarize themselves with the terrain.This conspiracy, which was decided by Song Jiang and operated by Wu Yong himself, is slowly unfolding.
Although Li Kui, the number one mindless murderer on Liangshan, had already been eliminated by Ximenqing, there was never a shortage of bravery and ruthlessness in Liangshan's bandit den, killing innocent people indiscriminately.Wu Yong chose Ma Lin, the "Iron Flute Fairy" among the leaders on the mountain to go with him.
This Ma Lin is a native of Jiankang, Nanjing, and he was born as a small fanzi idler.In other words, this guy is a naughty brat with foreign blood.This guy is good at martial arts, he can't get close to a hundred people, he has always been brave and fierce, and he will never use his brain if he can do it!He fought and killed all the way from the rogues of the Jiankang Army in Jiangning Prefecture, a big city in the south of the Yangtze River, to the bandit leader in Huangmen Mountain, and there was blood on his hands.
Wu Yong brought Ma Lin here because of his courage and lack of strategy, the most daring to kill, and he would kill whoever he was asked to kill without hesitation.
When Wu Yong hid in the dark to spy on Zhu Dian playing with the magistrate's yamen, and plotting to kidnap and kill the yamen, he didn't know that the mantis was catching the cicada, the oriole was behind, and Ximenqing and others were also watching Wu Yong not far away. three people.
The two groups of people have their own concerns, and they are all waiting for the arrival of the Ghost Festival.
In a few days, it came to the July [-]th Ghost Festival.This day is also known as the day of the Ullambana Lent for those who believe in Buddhism. River lanterns are lit everywhere, and good deeds are built, which is very lively.
In the evening of that day, Zhu Tong was obeying orders at the magistrate's yamen, and the maid in the hall shouted, "Zhu Dutou, the little yamen is going to see the river lamp tonight. Madam will pay for it, you can take him to have a look."
This is because the prefect's family trusts and loves Zhu Dian, so they can safely hand over the small yamen to Zhu Dian.Upon hearing the words, Zhu Dian hurriedly replied: "The villain will carry you away."
Before the words were finished, the pink and jade-carved yamen, wearing a gauze shirt with a collar and two beaded beards tied on the corners of his head, came out from inside, threw himself into Zhu Dian's arms, and opened his arms for Zhu Dian to embrace.
Zhu Tong joyfully picked up Xiaoya Nei, put it on his shoulders, and turned out of the Fu Yamen to look at the dizang temple to see some river lanterns.
