Chapter 298 The Aftermath of the Birthday Plan
JiZhou.

"Master Zhifu, that Chao Gai has now fled to the territory of Qingzhou. The prefect of Qingzhou sent troops to destroy it but returned without success. That Chao Gai has established a firm foothold in Qingzhou, and even contacted the original three mountain bandits in Qingzhou. Now it has become a climate, Qingzhou The prefect of Murong sent a letter saying that there is no way to destroy them."

An observer said to the prefect of Jeju.

"Qingzhou Mansion is the capital of Dazhou. Where did Chao Gai go to them? Do they dare to destroy them with all their strength? He is raising his own self-esteem. I want to report to Taishi Cai and punish him!"

The prefect of Jeju slapped the table angrily.

"Your Majesty, the prefect of Murong in Qingzhou is the elder brother of Concubine Murong, and Concubine Murong is in favor now, Grand Master Cai is afraid that he will not embarrass him."

Kong Mu, who was beside the prefect of Jeju, said in a low voice, Murong Yanda, the prefect, relied on the nepotism of his younger sister, Concubine Murong, to get to the top position. It is impossible for Cai Jing to offend the emperor's favorite concubine for such a small matter. Things got big and bad luck in the end. It was still Jeju Prefecture, and this time not only offended Cai Jing, but also offended Concubine Murong.

"Then why are you embarrassing me? Chao Gai has gone to Qingzhou, what can I do? Take soldiers to Qingzhou to arrest people?"

The magistrate of Jeju was even more angry. Having Sun Lei in his jurisdiction was already enough of a headache. Tai Wei Gao Qiu was still urging him to exterminate Sun Lei. Now Tai Shi Cai Jing asked him to hand over Chao Gai again. Who messed with whom?
"Everyone talks, why don't you talk! Do you want to be assassinated and sent to Salmonella Island! This government will fulfill you!"

Seeing that none of his subordinates spoke, the magistrate of Jeju was furious at the thought that he might be dismissed from office and assigned to the post. He couldn't do anything to Cai Jing and Gao Qiu, so could he not do anything to these subordinates?If you feel bad for yourself, don't think about it for anyone!

"Master Zhifu, didn't we arrest someone!"

He Qing smiled and said to the prefect of Jeju. He is the younger brother of He Tao, the arresting envoy of Jeju. He was appointed as the patrol inspector of Jeju because of his meritorious service in uncovering Bai Sheng and cracking down on his birthday.

"Caught someone? Didn't you just catch Bai Sheng!"

The prefect of Jeju said indifferently.

"It's Bai Sheng. I checked again recently. Bai Sheng only mentioned Chao Gai, and according to what the villagers of Dongxi Village saw, there should be eight people in Chao Gai's party! There were only four people running away from Chao Gai Village. There should be three more people missing."

He Tao said, he has not been idle in the past few months, and after many inquiries, he still found some clues.

"You mean there are still people hiding in Jeju? Impossible, Chao Gai has run away, who else is so bold?"

The prefect of Jeju is a bit unbelievable, he has already issued the arrest document at sea, and the thieves have fled far away, how can anyone dare to stay here?
"Master Zhifu, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Some people in Jianghu just like to go dark under the lights."

He Qing opened the mouth and said, he is not a figure in the Jianghu, but he has heard a lot of deeds in the Jianghu.

"Bring Bai Sheng to me to torture me, and I must ask who else has robbed the birthday card!"

The prefect of Jeju ordered that He Qing's words gave him a chance of survival, as long as he caught a few more thieves and handed them over to Cai Jing, the matter would be settled.

"Yes, Lord Prefect!"

He Qing smiled and bowed and retreated.

"Has there been any movement in Liangshanbo recently?"

The magistrate of Jeju calmed down a little, looked at the others and asked, Sun Lei made a big disturbance in the south of the Yangtze River not long ago, and caused a lot of trouble in the city. Tokyo issued three documents in succession asking him to wipe out the bandits in the territory.

"Your Majesty, according to reports from Yuncheng County, Liang Shan is currently training troops."

One head replied.

"Training? Bandit training?"

The prefect of Jeju did not believe it.

"It is said that there are thousands of soldiers and horses. Many people saw Liangshan bandits going down the mountain for training."

Du Tou said confidently that the news had been confirmed by many parties and should be true.

"This group of lawless thieves, training soldiers? What do they want to do? Really want to rebel?"

The prefect of Jeju's face was gloomy. This Sun Lei is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. It's fine to kill Gao Ya Nei Luocao, but he still wants to rebel. Is this a way to go to the dark?
"Go down, and closely monitor every move of Liang Shanbo."

The prefect of Jeju waved his hand and let the crowd disperse. He had to think carefully about his escape route. Jeju couldn’t stay here anymore. With Sun Lei here, the prefect of Jeju was a hot potato. It’s better to throw it out as soon as possible. It is not bad to be a local magistrate to make money.

Song Jiang left without saying a word, walked around the Jeju government office twice, and finally came outside the prison camp.

"Private Song? Did you come to the dungeon for something?"

Seeing Song Jiang's arrival, the Guanying of the prison camp greeted him with a smile. Song Jiang's reputation in Yuncheng for donating money was well known in Jeju.

"Master Zhifu asked Bai Sheng to be interrogated, I'll come and have a look."

Song Jiang looked at Guan Ying with a smile and said.

"For that person, He Guan is tortured inside."

Guan Ying smiled and invited Song Jiang into the prison camp, and the small prison guards at the door also benefited from Song Jiang, so they welcomed him graciously.

There was a sound of whipping, and Bai Sheng, who was tied to the wooden frame, was scarred and bloody from the whipping.

"Bai Sheng, you can be regarded as a man, but this is a prison in Jeju, you'd better confess the rest of the people who robbed the birthday gang obediently, you have suffered this flesh and blood, don't wait for me to beat you Why bother to recruit after three or four pauses?"

He Qing looked at Bai Sheng with disheveled hair and drooping head and smiled, this Bai Sheng is quite tough, he was tortured three or four times, almost killed before he confessed to Chao Gai.

"I know... I know... I've said it all!"

Bai Sheng's chapped lips squirmed and said intermittently.

"Okay, you are a man, I want to see if your mouth is tough or these instruments of torture are tough!"

Seeing that Bai Sheng didn't move, He Qing pointed to the rows of torture tools on the wall and laughed, no matter how strong a man with brass and iron bones can hold these torture tools, let alone Bai Sheng is an idler.

"Private Song?"

He Qing was holding a soldering iron, saw Song Jiang coming in, and asked in doubt.

"He observes, is this thief still unwilling to recruit?"

Song Jiang looked at He Qing and asked.

"He has a backbone, and he won't be recruited without a few severe beatings."

He Qing pointed at Bai Sheng and said with a smile.

"He Guan, this torture is not once or twice, he probably said everything he knows, so what's the point of beating again."

Song Jiang walked to the torture tool, looked at He Qing and said.

"The magistrate is in a hurry, I can only try, maybe this guy didn't finish talking last time."

He Qing replied that Bai Sheng had been in this prison camp for a while, and there was indeed not much news that he could still be tortured, but he could only try.

"He Guan, now we only have such a thief in our hands. If you kill him, the magistrate will have no way to turn to Grand Master Cai!"

Song Jiang took a look at Bai Sheng and wanted to save him, so he used the usual method of being a prisoner in Yuncheng.

"This……"

He Qing looked at the dying Bai Sheng, and then at the soldering iron in his hand. Bai Sheng had already been tortured to the point where he lost most of his life. If he accidentally killed him, there would be no way to explain it.
