In addition, the captured Liangshanbo water army leader "Hunjianglong" Li Jun, the killed "Eight-armed Nezha" Xiang Chong, and the heads of the two bandit leaders "Flying Great Sage" Li Yan, as well as hundreds of captured Ximenqing handed over all the gangsters from Liangshan to Qin Ming and Huang Xin.

Ximenqing's intention was to give the prefect of Qingzhou Murong Yanda, Qin Ming, and Huang Xin the credit for the extermination of the remnants of the Songjiang Army in Liangshanbo, so that they would owe him another big favor.This is Ximen Qing's so-called waste utilization.

Qin Ming and Huang Xinsheng were naturally grateful for Ximen Qing's great kindness, and vowed to repay them generously in the future.

After taking over the bandits from Liangshanbo, Qin Ming and Huang Xin returned to Qingzhou with the team.A few days later, court traitors Song Jiang and Li Jun were sentenced to death by Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou, and were hanged in public at the intersection.

It is said that when Song Jiang was executed, it was Huang Xin, the military and horse commander, who personally executed the knife.While carrying out the execution, Huang Xin shouted: "Brother Liu Gao, I, Huang Xin, have avenged you!"

After the onlookers in Qingzhou learned that Song Jiang was the culprit who sent Qingfengshan robbers to attack outside the city, they all applauded Song Jiang's death.

After killing the bandit leaders Song Jiang and Li Jun, the remaining hundreds of Liangshan bandits also failed to escape death.Qin Ming chopped off their heads and hung them on the city wall of Qingzhou for public display.These robbers have been doing evil on Liangshanbo for many years, and they have killed and looted everywhere in Huainan area. They have all committed heinous capital crimes, and none of them deserves to be forgiven and reduced.

The heads of Song Jiang, Li Jun, Xiang Chong, and Li Yan were not hung on the Qingzhou city wall.The prefect Murong Yanda processed their heads and put them in a wooden box, wrote a letter of merit, and sent someone eight hundred miles to Bianliang, Tokyo in an urgent manner.

This time, with the kindness of Ximenqing brothers, the Qingzhou government has made a great contribution!

6 Chapter [-] Celebration Banquet

Ximenqing handed over the captured Liangshan robbers to the Qingzhou government. After earning a big favor, he did not stop in the outer sea of ​​Qingzhou, but led the fleet eastward to Dengzhou.

Ximen Qing knew without asking how Murong Yanda, Qin Ming, and Huang Xin, the prefect of Qingzhou, would deal with Song Jiang and the others.

These Liangshanbo robbers were not captured by the Qingzhou army. If the Qingzhou government wants to get this credit, they will definitely not leave another alive.Therefore, if Song Jiang, Li Jun and others fall into the hands of the Qingzhou Army, they must die.

What's more, when Ximenqing arranged for "flower arm" Lu Xiaoyi to go to Qingzhou to inform Qin Ming and Huang Xin to pick them up, he had already assigned Lu Xiaoyi to stay in Qingzhou to monitor the Qingzhou government's handling of Song Jiang and other robbers.

If Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou, was foolish and wanted to escort Song Jiang and Li Jun to the capital for thousands of miles, Ximen Qing would ask Lu Xiaoyi to kill Song Jiang and Li Jun on the way, lest they escape like Chao Gai and others birthday.

In less than a day, Ximenqing's naval fleet returned to Dengzhou's own dock.

Hu Yanqing has been waiting for a long time with his Ping Navy naval warship.

Ximen Qing handed over the rest of the Haisnake Island pirate captives and several pirate ships carrying part of the spoils to Hu Yanqing, commander of the Ping Navy.

This time, Ximen Qing went south to suppress the pirates on Sea Snake Island. Ximen Qing used the flag of Dengzhou Ping Navy to deceive others. Of course, Hu Yanqing also contributed secretly.

After Ximen Qing succeeded, of course he would reciprocate and send Hu Yanqing a generous gift.Only in this way can Ximenqing's navy move freely and grow quietly under the cover of the Dengzhou navy.

After Hu Yanqing took over the captives, he tacitly took his navy fleet out to sea to see the spring scenery on the Bohai Sea.I believe that when Hu Yanqing leads the army back to Penglai Port tomorrow, the people of Dengzhou will know that Hu Yanqing led the Ping Navy to death and wiped out the most ferocious Sea Snake Island pirates in the East China Sea.

For the credit for exterminating the pirates, Ximenqing gave it to Wang Shizhong, the prefect of Dengzhou, and Hu Yanqing, the commander of Ping's navy.It's a pity that Ma Zheng and Ma Kuo's father and son have already been ordered to go to the Kingdom of Jin again, and the credit for this time will not fall to them.

After Hu Yanqing left, Ximen Qing brought fifteen boats of gold, silver and jewels ashore and transported them back to Ximen Manor.

The well-informed old manager Ximen Zhong was also stunned when he saw such a large amount of wealth, and complained to Ximen Qing: "Little master, why didn't you inform the old servant earlier? The cellar warehouse on the village has just been repaired. Now it looks like it needs to be expanded again!"

Ximen Qing smiled and said, "Hahaha~ Uncle Zhong, it's my fault, I didn't think carefully this time. Uncle Zhong worked hard today to put the registered money into the treasury first, and tomorrow I will choose another piece of land with you to build more money banks and The granary. This Ximen Village controls Penglai Port in Dengzhou, and has business dealings with the Kingdom of Jin, Korea, and Japan. In the future, there will be a lot of money, and the money and food will only increase! It’s just that you have to work hard again, Uncle Zhong.”

"It's not bitter, it's not bitter! Seeing how the young master has managed the Ximen family's foundation so prosperously, the old servant is full of energy!" Ximen Zhong also showed a smile.

"Uncle Zhong, you also have a share in the foundation of Ximen's family! This time I went to sea, the brothers have worked hard, and I will pay the farmer to slaughter more cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, and then go to the beach to buy more fresh fish. I want to show off." Banquet, to reward the brothers of the Navy." Ximen Qing said to the old supervisor Ximen Zhong.

"Young master, don't worry, the old servant will immediately arrange for some minor matters to be handled by his subordinates." Ximen Zhong called two stewards and arranged for them to reward the sailors.

On that day, hundreds of tables of banquets were set up in Ximen Village of Dengzhou. Ximenqing graciously rewarded more than 3000 people who participated in the naval battle, and gave generous rewards to the sergeants to celebrate the victory of the naval battle.

It's just that Ximen Qing also specially told his sergeants not to get carried away with complacency and go to Dengzhou City to talk nonsense and tell the truth about the naval battle.

After listening to Ximenqing's instructions, Xu Wen immediately ordered the navy sergeants to strictly prohibit entering the city to play after drinking, so as to avoid gaffes after drinking.If you want to play for money, there is a gambling shop in Ximenzhuang, and the brothers can have fun.

Shi Jin and Zhu Wu did the same, restraining their subordinates from entering the city to make trouble.

After listening to the orders of the leaders, more than 3000 sergeants responded in unison at the banquet, and no one had the slightest disobedience.

Even though it was at the wine table, Ximen Qingjun still managed the army strictly and strictly prohibited.This scene also opened the eyes of the fledgling Yue Fei and the four of them, and they had a lot of experience.

Du Qian and his confidant brothers just joined Ximen Qing's command, and after sitting on the sidelines at the banquet, they were secretly speechless and admiring.

Without Song Wan's reminder, Du Qian also hurriedly restrained his confidant brothers, and everything was arranged by the officials.

Among these hundreds of banquets, there was a special guest who was shocked by Ximen Qing's aura.This person was dressed as a scholar and scholar, and sat at a table with Song Wan, Du Qian and their confidantes in embarrassment.

This person is none other than Jiang Jing, the "magic fortune teller" who was captured alive by Du Qian in the naval battle on Heisha Island.

After Ximenqing captured Jiang Jing, he was detained alone, and he was not handed over to the Qingzhou Army along with Song Jiang and Li Jun. Otherwise, Jiang Jing would be killed at this moment.

After returning to Dengzhou, the pirate prisoners were also taken away by the Dengzhou navy, and Jiang Jing was the only prisoner left on Ximenqing's navy fleet.

Today, Ximen Qing held a celebration banquet and even ordered Song Wan and Du Qian to bring the only captive, Jiang Jing, to Ximenzhuang.

Jiang Jing originally thought that he would be used by Ximen Qing to sacrifice the flag to celebrate his achievements, so he closed his eyes and waited to die in despair.How do you know that Ximenqing didn't intend to kill him, and let him drink with Song Wan and Du Qian at the same table, but I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.

Looking at the thousands of wolves and tigers in Ximenzhuang, full of vigor and vitality, Haoerlang, and the former Liangshan brothers beside him, Song Wan and Du Qian, who are both familiar and unfamiliar, Jiang Jing was full of thoughts, waking up like a dream.

What Chao Tianwang, Song Gongming, Wu Junshi, and myself, a smart fortune teller, are all self-righteous and self-important people!

Du Qian and Song Wan have been lurking in the cottage for many years, and everything on Liangshanbo has long been under the control of the official Ximen Qing.It's ridiculous that the two leaders, Chao and Song, still don't realize it, and they are dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Dream that sweeps the world.

Now that the Liangshan army's dreams are shattered, and all the leaders have died in Huangquan, Jiang Jing looked back on the past and realized how absurd it was in Liangshanpo in the past.

The officials of Ximen Qing used thunderbolt methods to kill all the leaders of the cottage, so why do they let themselves live alone?

Jiang Jing was so preoccupied that he couldn't enjoy the food and drink on the table peacefully.

Amidst the uproar, the celebration banquet came to an end, and everyone at the banquet returned home happily.Ximen Qing finally sent an order to bring Jiang Jing to his study.

Jiang Jing walked into the study and saw Ximen Qing standing alone in front of the desk, and hurried forward to salute.

"Jiang Jing, are you ready to eat today?" Ximen Qing asked suddenly.

Chapter 681 Jiang Jing recognizes the Lord

Jiang Jing was taken aback by Ximen Qing's unexpected question, and then he cupped his hands and replied: "The villain dare not lie to the high officials, because the villain is a person who treats crimes, so it is really true." Unwilling to eat, I just filled my stomach indiscriminately. I don’t even remember what kind of wine and meat I ate.”

Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Jiang Jing, you are still thinking too much. As a hero in the world, you should face life and death with a smile. If you have a big scar on your head, you can eat what you want, drink what you want, what are you afraid of? "

Jiang Jing blushed and replied: "The high officials have taught you well, but the villains are ashamed. The villains dare to ask the high officials how they want to punish the crimes of the villains."

"Jiang Jing, although you are a low-level imperial examination candidate, you have never personally killed the people. But you became a bandit in Huangmen Mountain, and then went to Liangshan. You assisted Ou Peng and Song Jiang to do evil, and you are also helping the evil. This is an unforgivable crime. It fell into my hands this time, and I was going to hand you over to the government for questioning and beheading together with that dog thief Song Jiang, but someone once pleaded for you, asking me to catch you and spare your life. So , I want to give you a chance to reform yourself." Ximen Qing said.

As soon as Jiang Jing heard that Ximenqing had the intention of forgiving himself, he hurriedly changed his clothes and thanked him: "The villain has committed a lot of crimes. Thank you for your mercy. Dare to ask the high officials, which benefactor is the one who asked the high officials to plead for forgiveness, so that I will not be punished?" Once the villain dies? The villain wants to thank him face to face."

"Hahaha~ Jiang Jing, the benefactor you are talking about is your brother of Huangmenshan, the nine-tailed turtle Tao Zongwang! Brother Tao Zongwang is now serving under my command. I beg for mercy, I must save your life." Ximen Qing said to Jiang Jing.

"Brother Tao Zongwang? He, how is he doing now? Senior official, brother Tao Zongwang is here in Dengzhou, can the villain see him?" Jiang Jing asked in surprise and joy.

Among the four chiefs of Mount Huangmen, "Moyun Golden Wings" Ou Peng and "Iron Flute Immortal" Ma Lin, one was from a military household guarding the river, and the other was from a small idler. A man of his own mind.The two of them respect the scholar Jiang Jing, the "magic fortune teller", but are not close to him, which is not as good as the friendship between Tao Zongwang and Jiang Jing.
