Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 424 Zhu Tong: You were the one who let Chao Gai and Song Jiang go, right? [Update 2]

"Don't worry, brother. Their lives are not in danger."

An Daoquan treated Shi Xiu's injuries while comforting Liu Gao:
"Leave it to me, and in a few months they'll be two vigorous and energetic men again!"

"Brothers!"

Liu Gao already knew that An Daoquan sacrificed Li Qiaonu to protect Princess Tianshou, and he was so moved that he bowed to An Daoquan:
"Thank you for your generosity, brother. I will never forget you!"

"Brother, what are you talking about? We are friends for life and death!"

An Daoquan bowed back to Liu Gao quickly:

"It's all my responsibility!"

After thanking An Daoquan, Liu Gao, with a lot of anger in his heart, discussed with his brothers how to deal with Song Jiang:
“Brothers, I didn’t expect this group of bitches to get together.

"Now Wang Aihu has been executed.

“Du Xing and Cai Qing are in custody.

"Shi Wengong, Song Jiang, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Song Qing, and Tang Niu'er are on the run.

"How dare these bastards hurt my brother? I will not be a human being if I don't take revenge!

"Do you have any good ideas, brothers?"

Huang Wenbing waved his folding fan and said:
"Master, I have already investigated Zengtou City.

“Shi Wengong is a teacher in Zengtou City. He taught all five of the Zeng family’s tigers and holds a very high status in Zengtou City.

"In my opinion, Shi Wengong will definitely flee back to Zengtou City, but the same cannot be said for Song Jiang and Chao Gai.

"Shi Wengong, Song Jiang and Chao Gai may have parted ways..."

Suo Chao interrupted: "Why do you think so?"

"First of all, Lei Dutou said that Song Jiang, Chao Gai and others escaped first on horseback, and Shi Wengong was the last one to escape.

“Although with Shi Wengong’s strength, perhaps Song Jiang, Chao Gai and others would only drag him down if they went with him.

"But if Song Jiang and Chao Gai don't wait for him, Shi Wengong will definitely feel resentful."

When Huang Wenbing said this, Lin Chong interrupted:
"good!
"Big Brother, that beast Shi Wengong and I grew up together!
“We know what kind of person he is!
"He can let others down, but others can never let him down!"

Qin Ming interrupted: "What if they agreed to escape separately in advance?"

"It's not impossible, but——"

Huang Wenbing looked at his two supporting actors with admiration:

"Shi Wengong came alone to a village inn fifty miles outside Yuncheng County to have a drink.

"If we haven't reached the place they agreed to meet at yet, then the place they agreed to meet at is too far away."

Suo Chao and Qin Ming suddenly realized: "Yes!"

Huang Wenbing added: "Shi Wengong will definitely flee back to Zengtou City, so we can put Zengtou City aside for the time being.

"Let's talk about Chao Gai and Song Jiang first, they are both righteous people.

"Especially Song Jiang, who is called the timely rain in the martial arts world.

“They will not give up on rescuing Wang Aihu, Du Xing, and Cai Qing.

“Unless they are willing to give up their reputation.

“But for people like them, reputation is more important than life!

"So I have a plan. I will use Wang Aihu, Du Xing and Cai Qing as baits to set up a trap..."

"Wait!"

Suo Chao asked him, "Isn't Wang Aihu dead?"

Huang Wenbing laughed: "They don't know!"

Suo Chao slapped his head and said, "Yes!"

"This plan works."

Liu Gao nodded:

"This time, Song Jiang must not be allowed to leave again!"

……

After returning to the county government office, Liu Gao summoned Zhu Tong, Lei Heng and Ou Peng to his mansion to discuss the matter together.

"Brothers, this is my plan to catch the turtle in the jar!"

Liu Gao shared the plan with Zhu Tong, Lei Heng, and Ou Peng:
"Do you have any objections?"

When saying this, Liu Gao began to keep his eyes and ears open.

Although his eyes are not on the left and the right, he can pay attention to the changes in Zhu Tong and Lei Heng's expressions at the same time.

Zhu Tong's red face turned pale for a moment, and he immediately replied:

"I have no objection!"

Lei Heng: "Me too!" Ou Peng was Liu Gao's man, so naturally he had no objection.

Liu Gao nodded and said, "In that case, you guys spread the news tomorrow.

"They said they had captured the Liangshanpo rebels Wang Aihu, Du Xing, and Cai Qing, and were going to take them to Tokyo.

“The day after tomorrow, Brother Lei Heng will escort them out of the city.

"Brother Zhu Tong led the others, disguised as traveling merchants, and followed behind.

"Just wait for Chao Gai and Song Jiang to show up..."

Zhu Tong and Lei Heng: "Yes, sir!"

It was already dark when he came out of the county government office. Lei Heng was walking on the street when he suddenly turned around and caught up with Zhu Tong:
"Brother, shall we have some wine?"

Zhu Tong and Lei Heng were friends for life, and when Lei Heng invited him to a drink, there was no reason for Zhu Tong to refuse.

So the two of them went to the old place.

They often ate and drank here, sometimes two, sometimes three.

The third person is Song Jiang.

When the food and wine came, Lei Heng and Zhu Tong drank a bowl of wine and started to talk about some gossips:
"Brother, the bitch next door to my house gave birth..."

"is it?"

Zhu Tong squinted his eyes and looked at him:
"Brother, you were the one who let Chao Gai, Song Jiang and the others go yesterday, right?"

"hiss!"

Lei Heng was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He froze up and looked at Zhu Tong with difficulty:

"Brother...how do you know?"

If someone else said this, Lei Heng would definitely deny it.

But he and Zhu Tong have a very good relationship.

Zhu Tong knew him too well.

If the relationship was not good enough, Zhu Tong in the original novel would not have let him go even at the cost of going to jail himself.

So Lei Heng admitted it, but admitting it was equivalent to handing his life into Zhu Tong's hands.

"Brother, let's stop here!"

Zhu Tong sighed, put his big hand on Lei Heng's shoulder and said earnestly:
"Don't make it difficult for my husband!"

Lei Heng couldn't help but defend himself:

"Brother, we have a deep friendship with King Chao and Song Gongming..."

"good!
"But you let them go once, you have done your best!"

Zhu Tong spoke to him from the bottom of his heart:

"Mr. Yu, you and I are working in the county government!
"Personally, my husband treats you and me as his close brothers!

"Releasing Chao Gai and Song Jiang privately is something that cannot happen again!
"Otherwise, how can we face our husband?"

Lei Heng blushed: "Brother, don't worry, I know what to do..."

"It's best if you know!"

Zhu Tong patted his shoulder and picked up the wine bowl:
"Do not think too much!

"We will do whatever our husband says!
"Come on, let's go!"

Zhu Tong was Liu Gao's close friend, and he was assimilated unconsciously and would say some new words from time to time.

Lei Heng drank a bowl of wine with him. He felt confused and did not mention the matter of Song Jiang and Chao Gai again.

After getting half drunk, Zhu Tong put down his wine bowl:

"Brother, today is a great day.

"We have important things to do tomorrow, so go home and rest early."

Lei Heng felt bitter, but he forced himself to smile and said:

"Brother, you go ahead. I'll eat a few more bites and then leave."

So Zhu Tong left first.

Lei Heng was sitting alone in a private room drinking. Just as he brought the wine bowl to his mouth, Zhu Tong came back and sat down.

"what--"

Lei Heng drank a bowl of wine, wiped his mouth and exhaled:
"Brother, will you accompany me to drink two more bowls of wine?"

The man smiled and said, "Good duck."

But this voice is not Zhu Tong's!
Lei Heng was stunned and looked carefully:
"Is it you?"
