Chapter 35: Where is the way out?
In fact, whether it is in "Water Margin" or "The Legend of the Wanderer", it seems that those traitors always look so stupid and stupid, as if their existence is to bring out the cleverness of the heroes.
But in fact, whether it is Cai Jing or Gao Yu, being able to be in the middle and forefront of the imperial court at that time is itself a symbol and proof of their own ability.
Jun is a faint monarch, this is right, if you say that you want to vote for the top ten faint monarchs in history, Song Huizong Zhao Ji is definitely on the list; It's true that a traitor is a traitor, but this traitor is also a capable minister, and he can stand out among hundreds of thousands of courtiers in China's 5,000 long history, and leave a name in history, which in itself has proved their ability.
Whether it was Gao Yu or Cai Jing, at that time, they could be called high-ranking and powerful, and the power was tilted towards the government and the opposition, in this case, how could there be a lack of people around them to advise them?
Let's rewind the clock a little and take a look at what Cai Jing was doing before the birth of the Gang!
You must know that for two consecutive birthdays, Cai Jingjing did not receive the birthday gifts of Liang Shijie and his daughter from the Daimyo Mansion, although Liang Shijie will give out a rich birthday gift every year, but no matter how thick the gift is, it will be fake.
After being robbed continuously, it is strange that Cai Jing is not angry, but at the same time he is angry, he is also quite helpless, because the prefectures and counties around the country cannot be said to be doing their best, but these bandits are even more slippery, no matter how the government tries to do it, how to find a way, but it is always a stone sinking into the sea, and there is no news on the face. Seeing that this year's birthday is approaching, Cai Jing is very anxious.
However, there are faint tricks, and adultery has rape and fortune. Song Huizong, the mediocre son of heaven, was devoted to the Tao, which made these traitorous ministers under his command also quite believe in the words of Taoism, and Gao Yu was very worried about Cai Jing's birth gang, so he recommended a Taoist priest to Cai Jing.
This Taoist priest is not like Guo Jing and others, but a person with real talent and learning, surnamed Qiu Mingxuan, and Taoist name Xuan Zhenzi. Qiu Xuan was not ambiguous, so he was recommended to Cai Jing, so he set a plan for Cai Jing.
"The person who is worried about Enxiang is nothing more than this year's birthday program, according to the small way, this matter is easy. Grace Xiang can write a letter, inform the Lord of the book, the matter of the birth of the outline of the world, so that the world knows, and then order a strong martial arts but has always complained, walk in the face of the responsible escort, this road will be robbed, and then the Lord Grace can pretend to be angry, order the provinces and counties along the line to arrest the bandits, if they can be arrested, then they can clear the bandits, for the Grace Xiang in the court, and in front of the Son of Heaven to establish prestige, but also can use the local bandits to take down this person, if not, the Grace Xiang can also justifiably replace the county chief official with the protΓ©gΓ© of the Grace Minister, The ruling party can be used for help; As for the real birth gang, it can be mixed with the taxes and grains escorted into Beijing by the Daimyo Mansion, and a confidant general is sent to escort him into Beijing, so it can be guaranteed to be foolproof, this is a plan for the villain to kill three birds with one stone! β
When Cai Jing heard about this plan, he was overjoyed, and immediately sent someone to Liang Shijie and asked him to act according to this plan, so there was a matter of Chao Gai and Wu using all their efforts but to no avail.
The fake gang was robbed, Cai Jing was angry, and the officialdom along the line was shaken, but Chao Gai and they just fascinated Yang Zhi and others after all, and when the medicinal properties of the sweat medicine passed, then Xie Nangong, Yu Hou, and Junhan would slowly wake up, and when they saw that the Shengchengang was robbed and Yang Zhi was missing, they unified their voices at that time, set up a poison plan, and after returning to the Daimyo's Mansion, they attributed all the blame to Yang Zhi, saying that Yang Zhi colluded with bandits, turned over everyone, and robbed Shengchengang in Huangnigang.
Liang Shijie heard the words of Grandma Xie, and he was convinced, in fact, even if there was no letter from Cai Jing, Yang Zhi would be used by him to top the tank, and the original trajectory had proved all this. Now that he learned the location of the crime, Liang Shijie did not hesitate at the moment, and sent a letter directly to Jeju Mansion, and Xu He, the governor of Jeju Prefecture, received the letter, and couldn't help but feel like a ghost, and hurriedly signed the arrest document, and He Tao was the arrest envoy to arrest and solve the case within a limited time.
The trajectory deviated here, originally Bai Sheng was recognized by He Tao's younger brother He Qing when he gambled money, and then he was taken down by He Tao and others, and then confessed to Chao Gai and other seven people, until the battle of Shijie Village was cut off by Ruan Xiaoqi; And in this time and space, because of Qiu Xuan's intervention, Liang Shijie specially spent a lot of money from Tong Guan to get a member of the general, surnamed Zhang Mingyong, and entrusted with a heavy task to send to Jeju Mansion, Daniel Zhang met He Tao Dabi when he arrived in Jeju Mansion, saw that his visit was fruitless, cut off one of his ears on the spot, and said that if he could not visit, he would cut off his other ear.
He Tao was cut off one ear, his temperament changed greatly, and now it is no longer a visit to a village, but a village by village beating, until the villages under the jurisdiction of Jeju Prefecture have suffering, fortunately He Tao soon hit Anle Village, coincidentally Bai Sheng did not go to gamble money, in fact, the birthday gang is fake, and did not get money for him to gamble, so under the beating, Bai Sheng immediately recruited everything, He Tao was so happy, hurriedly escorted Bai Sheng to Yuncheng County, while putting Bai Sheng in prison, while sending people to fly back to Jeju Mansion to report, At the same time, let Shi Wenbin, the magistrate of Yuncheng County, rectify the errand and follow him to the countryside to get people.
As a result, Song Jiangfeiqi, who often received benefits from Chao Gai, reported the news, but Chao Gai, who didn't want to provoke him, was furious, and there was no benefit at all.
And after Song Jiang left, Chao Gai immediately gathered everyone to discuss, Liu Tang, Du Qian, and Song Wan were all rough people, and immediately scolded, "I dare to call 200,000 yuan in less than 200 yuan, I'm afraid I don't want to go crazy because I want money, I want to give a generous gift, but I don't want to pay for it myself, so I want to catch one and squeeze one until I squeeze 200,000." Brother Tianwang, don't think about it too much, this will take me and others, directly kill the famous mansion, see one kill one, see two kill a pair, the head has fallen off but the scar of the bowl, grandpa is still a good man eighteen years later! β
Chao Gai didn't take the words of these people to heart, he cared more about the opinions of Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, and Wang Lun. It's just that Wang Lun's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word, and Gongsun Sheng stroked his long beard again, closed his eyes and pondered, so he could only look at Wu Yong, who was shocked and uncertain.
In fact, Wu Yong's heart was full of shock at this moment, in his opinion, 200,000 gold jewelry shells were not a small amount, even if Liang Shijie was good at scraping, it was impossible to prepare two strokes, if it was to use the Birthday Gang to fish, it would be a little too amazing. In his hesitation, a young figure flashed in Wu Yong's mind, "Could it be him!" β
"Professor, professor?" Chao Gai saw Wu Yong's face look suspicious, and gently tugged at his sleeve.
"Huh?" Wu Yong came back to his senses from his thoughts, and saw Chao Gai looking at him with concern, and suddenly felt a slight warm current flowing through his heart, and at the same time, he also sighed slightly, "Bao Zheng is a righteous and brave person, being a friend is the luck of this life, but the Lord is ...... Alas! β
"Integrity! As Song Gongming said, the officers and soldiers are coming in an instant, and in the opinion of the younger brother, it is better to go! β
"Let's go? Where are we going? Everyone heard what Wu Yong said, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
Wu Yong looked left and right, saw that Chao Gai and others had nowhere to go, and couldn't help but feel a gloom in his heart, and when he was about to speak, he heard Gongsun Sheng say: "I have a place to go, there is a water park here, named Liang Shanbo, I heard that Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 guns and sticks in Tokyo, and the former Western Army Tizhi Luda are all in the grass here, but these two people are not the masters of the cottage, I don't know if I and others will go to join us, whether they will take us in." β
Hearing what Gongsun Sheng said, for some reason, in the minds of Chao Gai and Wu Yong, Junchen's figure appeared at the same time, "Isn't this young man the lord of Liangshan?" β
"No, no!" When Wang Lun heard this, he shook his head and said, "If we take refuge in that Liangshan, won't we defile ourselves and become bandits......
"What does TND mean to become a bandit, I waited for the robbery of the birth gang, and it was already a bandit in the government, what is the difference between voting and not investing!" When Liu Tang heard this, he couldn't help but say sarcastically.
"You!" Wang Lun was furious, but he thought that he was not Liu Tang's opponent, so he could only endure this breath, snorted secretly, and continued: "The junior brother has a proposal, in the rivers and lakes of the northland, there is a world-famous strange man, who is the most enthusiastic and benevolent, and he also has the Danshu iron coupon given by Song Taizu at home, even the officers and soldiers have nothing to do with him......"
Wu slapped his forehead and said, "What Brother Wang Lunxian said is not the Chai Jinchai official who is called "Little Whirlwind" in Cangzhou! β
Wang Lun's face turned pale, and he smiled: "It's this person!" When you get to this person, don't say that a small errand is a champion, how can you help me wait! β
"It turned out to be such an unobstructed hero! Brother Wang Lun, the talented brother is rude, don't be surprised! Liu Tang immediately slapped the stone platform and praised it.
Wang Lun saw that Liu Tang's mouth was soft, and he was quite useful in his heart, and shook his hand gently, indicating that he didn't care at all.
Chao Gai was very happy when he saw the reconciliation between the two, and immediately clapped his hand and said: "I'll wait for each of us to pack up, and then go to Cangzhou to join the Chai officials!" β
Everyone was awe-struck, and they all clasped their fists and said, "Obey my brother's orders!" β
Immediately Chao Gai gathered all the villagers, indicating that it was powerful, and those who were willing to follow him went to Cangzhou with him to join Chai Jin, and those who did not want to go were sent travel expenses, and the local people were dismissed. But he never thought that there were seven or eighty percent of the villagers who did not want to go, Chao Gai's heart was gloomy, and he was not reluctant at the moment, and he directly sent the travel expenses to everyone and dismissed them directly.
Think about it, most of the guests in Chaogai Zhuangke are from Dongxi and Xixi villages, and Shangliang Mountain is also close at hand, and you can go down the mountain to visit at any time, but this goes to Cangzhou, the road is thousands of miles, and it is difficult to go back and forth.
Everyone packed up, Chao Gai lit torches, and looked back at the manor where his Chao family had lived for generations, and his heart was very difficult to give up. Wu Yong saw that Chao Gai was reluctant to light the fire, so he knew his intentions, and immediately walked to Chao Gai's side and whispered: "Baozheng!" Let's go, I'll come back and rebuild later! β
Chao Gai turned his head to look at Wu Yong, nodded his head heavily, and immediately shook it hard, and saw the torch flying straight to the main hall, and for a while the fire snake flew and the flames soared into the sky.
Chao Gai looked at the burning manor in a daze, and his heart was ruthless, and he took the lead and walked straight towards the outside of the village.
I thought that their actions were fast enough, but I didn't expect that before they arrived at the entrance of the village, they would first open the way to Zhuangke and come back to report: "Baozheng, the entrance of the village has found that the government brigade has been killed!" β
"But Zhu and Lei are both heads?"
"Two of you you've never seen before! The one who started the head was very raw, and he had only one ear! β
"What! One ear! When Wu Yong heard this, his brain spun quickly, and he said, "It must be the arresting envoy He Tao!" Baozheng, there are many people on the other side, it is better to take a detour according to the little brother's opinion! β
"I'm afraid of him! Grandpa's knife is still waiting for Fortune City! Come one to kill one, come two to kill a pair, and wait for grandpa to kill him! Liu Tang shouted loudly.
Chao Gai was forced to burn down his manor, his heart was on fire, and when he heard Liu Tang's words of adding fuel to the fire, the green tendons on his hand with the knife burst out, and he shouted angrily: "Shi Wenbin, you deceive me too much!" "When he threw the package, he raised his knife and killed at the entrance of the village.
Liu Tang, Du Qian, and Song Wan saw that Chao Gai was killed first, laughed, and followed the killing.
Wu Yong is very helpless, this Baozheng's temper is too short-tempered, if he really wants to be the master, it is too easy to be provoked! and Gongsun Sheng looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but there was nothing they could do at the moment, they could only take one step at a time, and they also followed towards the outside of the village to kill.
Only Wang Lun followed at the end, his face was cloudy, and no one knew what he was thinking.
He Tao took the servants, according to Bai Sheng's confession, and killed Dongxi Village, and saw Chao Gai and others coming straight to the entrance of the village from a distance, he was overjoyed in his heart, and shouted: "Chao Gai, your incident has happened, don't hurry up and arrest it, lest the master do it!" β
"I'll tie up your grandmother!" Chao Gai shouted violently, and immediately went straight to He Tao's head with a knife.
He Tao saw that Chao Gai was fierce, and he felt that his martial arts were average, so he immediately took a few steps back, and the officials beside the commander said: "Give it to me, but if you catch the bandit leader Chao Gai, you will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver!" β
Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, and when the officials heard the reward of one hundred taels of silver, their eyes immediately turned red, and they raised their knives to cut at Chao Gai. Although Chao Gai is infinitely powerful and has high and powerful weapons, this strength is also limited, and in the siege of many officials, it will soon be left and right, and some can not bear it.
Then He Tao saw that Chao Gai was gradually unable to parry, his heart turned, he drew a knife and sneaked towards Chao Gai, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he stabbed at him, Chao Gai heard the sound of the golden wind, and hurriedly went to flash It was too late, "flutter", and he was slashed on his left arm by He Tao.
"I'm your uncle!" Liu Tang on the side saw Chao Gai being stabbed, his eyes were about to split, and he slashed over the former official with a knife, and went straight to He Tao to kill.
He Tao saw that Liu Tang was menacing, so he hurriedly hid in the crowd, and although Liu Tang was murderous, the number of officials was too many, so he let He Tao pick up a life.
Chao Gai's left arm is in the knife, although the right arm is unhindered, but the one-armed knife, always has a sense of powerlessness. Seeing a knife coming, Chao Gai hurriedly went to block it, but he didn't want the other party's knife to have no strength, and when he felt strange, he heard the person on the other side say: "Baozheng!" How confused you are! β
Chao Gai only felt that the other party's voice was familiar, and when he looked up, he was immediately overjoyed, "It turned out to be Brother Zhu Tongxian!" β
Zhu Tong hurriedly stopped Chao Gai, swept around, and said in a low voice: "Baozheng!" How are you so confused! And don't say much, come with me quickly! He immediately jumped back and shouted: "Thief, if you have the ability, you will see life and death with your grandfather Zhu!" β
As he spoke, he led the cover to the path. Over there, Wu Yong discovered Chao Gai's movements, and immediately slowly gathered everyone, only killing Chao Gai.
Zhu Tong led Chao Gai to the path outside the village, saw that there was no one around, turned around and stomped his feet with Chao Gai and said, "Baozheng!" You're so confused, how can you sit down like this! Now that Bai Sheng has offered you to wait, you will not know to leave until this moment in this life! If I hadn't been familiar with the road, I'd just be afraid of what would have happened today! β
Chao Gai smiled wryly and said, "Today, the virtuous brother let me go, so how will He Tao and Shi Wenbin deal with each other?" β
"It's easy to hear!" Zhu Tong paused, touched the beautiful beard under his chin, and said: "Let's just say that the road here is complicated and difficult to find, so you will get rid of it!" Maintain the right to integrity and rest assured, leave with peace of mind! I just don't know where Baozheng wants to go in the future! β
"I have agreed with the scholar to go to Cangzhou together and take refuge in the Chai Daguan's mansion."
"Hmm" Zhu Tong nodded, "I have heard for a long time that the officials of Chai are righteous and squandering money, helping the needy, and it should be a good place to go!" Don't leave it at that, I hope to take care all the way! β
"Take care!"
"I'll just say how I can't catch the criminals for a long time, it turns out that there are people who derelict their duties and dereliction of duty like you, but today there is a certain and such a thing, you don't want to get away with one!"
Chao Gai and Zhu Tong were shocked, and when they hurriedly looked, they saw a person jumping from the tree in front of them, "Daniel Zhang, it turned out to be you!" β
