Water Margin set the country

Chapter 12 Rescue Song Jiang
"You guys are quite kind." Gao Jian said sarcastically.

"I, Liangshan, have always been clear about right and wrong. There are grievances and debtors, and I will not persecute innocent people." Chao Qing said.

After a while, Zhu Dian and Ruan Xiaoqi also sneaked into the prefect's house with a dozen people.These people are all masters in the Jianghu, so they didn't disturb the guards in the prefect's mansion.

Ruan Xiaoqi also started to eat as soon as he saw the delicious food on the table, and said while eating: "Your Majesty is too polite, you know we are coming, and you have prepared such a sumptuous dinner."

He Taiping rolled his eyes in anger.

Everyone ignored him and had a full meal first.After all, such good food is not so easy to eat in Liangshan.

Chao Qing told the news that Lei Heng had defected: "Sure enough, my guess is right, it's just right, let's proceed according to the original plan."

Hua Rong said: "Fortunately, the young leader has been suspicious of this person for a long time and didn't listen to him, otherwise we will be in danger." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Hearing the news that Lei Heng had fallen to the imperial court and sold out his friends for glory, Zhu Ting was saddened. He really didn't expect that a friend who had been with him for many years would do such a thing.

Chao Qing patted Zhu Tong on the shoulder, and comforted him: "It was Lei Heng who betrayed Dutou's trust. It was not your fault, and Dutou didn't have to be sad for such a person. I know that you have been loyal all your life The most important thing, but this loyalty also depends on who it is used on. Obviously the most important thing in Lei Heng's heart is his personal future. Treat a gentleman with the style of a gentleman, and deal with a villain with a villain."

Ruan Xiaoqi also persuaded: "Yes, Dutou, except for Lei Heng, we are all your brothers. How do you say that, what is lost from the east is gained from the west."

Huarong added: "What is lost in the east is the mulberry elm that is harvested."

"That's right, that's it!"

Zhu Dian was quite moved in his heart, and said: "Brothers, Zhu Dian understands in his heart. Don't worry, just pretend that I, Zhu Dian, have never had Lei Heng as a friend."

He Taiping said: "Do you think that if you rescue Song Jiang from the prison, you will be able to retreat completely?"

"Isn't it possible? I know that Prefect He has arranged an ambush around the prison camp. How could I be stupid enough to rob the prison when there is an ambush!"

"If you don't go to jail, I'm a little curious about how you can save Song Jiang." He Taiping had a disbelieving expression on his face.

Chao Qing said with a smile: "Prefect He, at this time, are you still thinking of getting information from me? It's okay to tell you the truth, whether it's saving Song Jiang from prison, or we escape from Jeju City, it's nothing It's just a word from Prefect He."

He Taiping said solemnly: "I am a majestic court official, even if I die, I will not help you do evil under your coercion. I am not the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, you should kill me!"

Gao Jian listened, and his expression immediately became tense.Prefect, if you want to kill yourself and become a benevolent, please don't implicate me. I am just making a living to make a living.He thought in his heart that if these Liangshan bandits really wanted to kill him, they would have to kneel down and beg for mercy. Although it would be embarrassing, at least they could save their lives.

"Does Prefect He want to be a loyal minister and good official who will serve the country at the death festival? Don't worry, we won't give you this chance. Prefect He refuses to speak for us, but one thing about Prefect He can speak for you."

As Chao Qing spoke, he winked at Ruan Xiaoqi, and Ruan Xiaoqi rudely searched He Taiping's body, and found out the prefect's seal, and handed it to Chao Qing.

As soon as He Taiping saw that his seal was confiscated, He Taiping's face was ashamed, and he thought that it was completely finished. With this prefect's seal, they could issue orders in their own name. I don't know that I have become a prisoner, and I will definitely take the order seriously.

Chao Qing said to He Taiping: "Master Taishou, do you know how to beat the opponent in a game of chess? One way is to follow the established rules, and the other way is to overturn the game and directly kill the opponent. Beat me up. I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood to accept the trick you set up. So it's more comfortable to follow my rules."

He turned his head and said to everyone: "Since the seal is in hand, let's act according to the previous plan."

Zhu Dian and Hua Rong called He Taiping's mansion, from the prefect's wife, young lady, old maid, servant girl and servant to the guards of the nursing home, to the west wing in batches, and disarmed them and communicated with the outside world. Lock them up in several rooms.Those who appeared to be able to resist were bound hand and foot and held in solitary confinement.

Then the two opened the gate, let Lu Fang, Guo Sheng and the more than 100 Liangshan heroes come in, and officially took over the house.

So far, the first step of the plan to seize the prefect's mansion has been successfully completed.

Chao Qing said to everyone: "Next, let's split up and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Hua Rong first took the official document stamped with the eunuch's seal and went to the city defense camp. At this time, most of the soldiers and horses in the city had ambushed at Xingcheng Gate in the north of the city. Support and suppress the enemy troops fleeing in the city.

The young leader's prediction was right, there really was such a mobile army in the city, if they were let out, it would greatly threaten their plan.

"The prefect said that there may be bandits from Liangshan making trouble in the city tonight. You must guard the camp. No one is allowed to enter the barracks without the prefect's order. No matter what the chaos in the city is, the prefect will send someone to deal with it. You You just need to stay here. If there is a violation of the order, military law will be followed."

"The prefect also said that you should be careful of those Liangshan thieves pretending to be the government to pass orders. From now on, if anyone comes to pass the prefect's order, they will be regarded as Liangshan thieves and they will not be allowed to enter the camp. If anyone enters by force battalion, you can shoot them."

Huarong had already been the Zhizhai of Qingfengzhai, and he had the demeanor of a general, and his words had an aura that no one dared to disobey, all the soldiers met the prefect Yinxin again, and they all obeyed his orders.

After stabilizing the 1000 troops, Hua Rong hurried to the armory, where he dispatched more than 100 horses and armored weapons, and sent them to He Taiping's home.It is said that in order to prevent Liangshan bandits from attacking the prefect's mansion, the guards must be strengthened.

Of course, these horses and armor were not used to protect He Taiping, but were in the hands of Lu Fang, Guo Sheng and the more than 100 men.Under the leadership of Lu and Guo, these more than 100 people dressed neatly and went to the Deshan Gate in the south with strong soldiers. They falsely passed the order of the prefect, disarmed the guards of the city gate, and took over the gate here.

At the same time, Wang Guanying, who was in charge of the prison guard in the city, was in a mood of ups and downs and was very disturbed.Ever since the eunuch told him that Liangshan people would come to rob the prison tonight and asked him to stay here, he couldn't eat anymore.

It's okay for me to bully those prisoners on weekdays, but if you want him to deal with Liangshan bandits, wouldn't that force him to die?Although the prefect has repeatedly assured that there will be soldiers and horses in ambush nearby, but I don’t know what kind of combat power these soldiers and horses in Jeju City are. In the casino, everyone can fight bravely, but when they go to the battlefield, they can get weapons. It's not bad to find the number of your own unit.

If it really doesn't work, I can only kneel down and beg for mercy. Although it's a bit ugly, at least I can save my life.

Just as he was thinking wildly like this, a bearded officer suddenly appeared with a few people and issued the prefect's document, saying that Song Jiang was to be transferred away under the prefect's order.

Wang Guanying was taken aback. Seeing that the battle was imminent, why did Song Jiang suddenly want to be transferred? Besides, Song Jiang was not deliberately put in prison to lure Liangshan people into hooking him immediately?

The bearded officer shouted: "The prefect has said that this place is very dangerous. If Song Jiang's life is injured in the scuffle, the battle report will not look good. And if Song Jiang is allowed to take advantage of the chaos to escape, it will be a failure. Therefore, it is safest to transfer to the prefect's mansion." of."

This bearded officer was naturally Zhu Tie's fake.

Wang Guanying always felt that things were inexplicably weird, and he was still waiting to hesitate. Zhu Dian had already whipped him over and scolded: "Why are you hesitating? Could it be that you and the Liangshan bandits are in the same group and want to be an internal response?" , afraid that we will turn Song Jiang away?"

The crime of fornicating Liangshan bandits is not a light one. How dare Wang Guanying talk too much, so he hastily ushered Zhu Dian into prison to raise him.

Passing through the long, dark, damp and stinking corridor, I finally came to a dark cell. I saw a dirty, dark object curled up in a ball, and I don't know if it was a living thing or a dead thing.

"Master Jun, this is Song Jiang." Wang Guanying said cautiously.

When Zhu Tong saw it, anger almost burst out of his eyes.How did poor brother Gongming become like this?Didn't that fellow Lei Heng say that the money was used in the prison, and no one abused Brother Gongming?It seems that he didn't use money to protect brother Gongming at all.Fortunately, he believed Lei Heng's nonsense before.

At this moment, Zhu Tong's disappointment towards Lei Heng has turned into anger.He wished he could draw out his knife and cut down the management camp in front of him, and bloodbathed the officials in this prison.It's just that he hasn't been dazzled by anger yet, and reason still prevails.

So Zhu Tong said with an indifferent expression: "Let's put this traitor in a prison van and take him away."

So two people went to help Song Jiang up and put him into the prison van. At this time, Song Jiang was already unconscious.Zhu Tie drove away with the prison car.

Not long after Zhu Ting picked up Song Jiang, more than 20 fires broke out in the city suddenly.It illuminated half of Jeju city bright red.Those who set the fire were Ruan Xiaoqi and a dozen of his subordinates.

After they succeeded, they also withdrew to Deshan Gate.

And the officials and generals at all levels in the city had received the prefect's order in advance, saying that someone would put out the fire, so they all stood still.
