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

Chapter 717 Zhu Tong: The disaster will not affect my wife and children, what are you going to do? [2 more]

Liu Gao laughed: What do you think?

When has your elder brother ever done anything that resulted in a loss?

In fact, Liu Gao did not like his reputation as the most powerful minister in Shandong.

What can Shandong's No. 1 tiger minister do?

No matter how fierce he is, isn't he still a subject?
He didn't want to be a dog for Emperor Huizong of Song. Although this title sounded good, Liu Gao didn't care at all.

There are four new treacherous ministers above, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Yang Jian and Zhang Bangchang. It is unlikely to surpass them.

On the contrary, he would be feared by the four treacherous ministers, after all, he was against the Liao Dynasty, Tian Hu, and Fang La...

All battles are invincible and all attacks are invincible.

In the Song Dynasty, ministers who were good at fighting all had a bad ending.

The biggest example is Yue Fei right in front of us.

Therefore, it is better to let Shandong's Little Xuande be given the title of Shandong's No. 1 Tiger Minister!

Shandong's number one tiger minister was invincible in battle, but he was defeated by Shandong's little Xuande.

The title was successfully transferred.

Shandong Xiao Xuande was already well-known in the martial arts world, and he defeated Shandong's number one tiger minister!

Isn’t he the leader of the outlaws and the chief of the underworld?
Originally, Shandong Liu Neng was one of the four great rebel kings along with Hebei Tian Hu, Huaixi Wang Qing, and Jiangnan Fang La.

Now Tian Hu of Hebei was destroyed by the number one tiger minister of Shandong, and Fang La of Jiangnan was beaten by the number one tiger minister of Shandong!

Shandong Liu Neng beat up Shandong's number one tiger minister!

Now the other three rebel kings are not worthy of being listed alongside Shandong Liu Neng!

Looking around the world, who else?

Liu Gao could imagine that if the news of his defeat to himself were to spread, it would definitely shock the world!
Then Shandong Liu Neng will become the first rebel king!

This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The good thing is that in the future, when Liu Gao travels around the world and announces his identity, even Wang Qing will have to stand up and toast him!

The downside is that you will become the main target of the imperial court!
The problem is that the imperial court cannot defeat Liangshan now...

Yue Fei suddenly realized: "Brother, you are still pouring money from your left hand to your right hand!"

Liu Gao put his arm around Yue Fei's shoulders and said with a smile:

“This is just the beginning, wait and see, there will be more drama to come.

"By the way, please invite Brother Zhu Tong in. No, bring him in by force."

Yue Fei understood what he meant.

……

Zhu Tong sat in the prison car, silent.

Magistrate Ma was trying to persuade Zhu Tong outside the prison van:

"Zhu Tong, just admit your guilt!

"I will take care of your wife and children myself, so don't worry!"

In the original novel, Zhu Tong was not married.

But now Zhu Tong has become a county lieutenant and is doing very well, so naturally he has married and has children.

Zhu Tong snorted coldly: "My husband, Zhu Tong has a clear conscience, why do you plead guilty?"

If you don't plead guilty, won't that implicate me?

Magistrate Ma persuaded Zhu Tong earnestly:

"If you don't confess your guilt, you will suffer physical pain!

"Why bother? Why bother?

“Besides, your crime is at most dereliction of duty, and even if you plead guilty, the sentence won’t be too severe.

"Then the county will help you with some activities..."

Zhu Tong curled his lips:

"Sir, the prefect has been defeated, and all five thousand troops have been wiped out!
"You told me the sentence wouldn't be too severe?"

"This……"

Magistrate Ma's expression changed several times:
"Zhu Tong, if you don't plead guilty, watch out for your wife and children!"

Zhu Tong glared and said, "Don't bring disaster to your wife and children, what are you going to do?"

"What do you mean by 'not harming my wife and children'? I don't know what you are talking about."

Magistrate Ma smiled sinisterly and said:
"Don't worry, I will take good care of them for you!"

Zhu Tong was anxious: "You——"

"What's the noise?"

At this time, Yue Fei came over with a few of his own troops and glared at Magistrate Ma:

"What are you doing here?" "Don't misunderstand, little general!"

Magistrate Ma knew that Yue Fei was Liu Gao's confidant, so he said with a smile:
"I just advised him to confess and get leniency!"

"Humph!"

Yue Fei was too lazy to pay attention to him and ordered several of his soldiers:
"Take him to the central army tent. Prime Minister En will interrogate him personally!"

Several personal soldiers opened the prison van and carried Zhu Tong out.

Magistrate Ma immediately threatened Zhu Tong:
"Zhu Tong, be careful!"

Zhu Tong stared at him coldly, then left with a few of his personal soldiers.

Magistrate Ma also wanted to go, but was stopped by Yue Fei:
"Eun Sang is personally interrogating you, what are you going to do?"

Magistrate Ma had no choice but to stop and watch Yue Fei take Zhu Tong away, then quickly chased after him.

The door curtain of the central army tent was drawn and there were guards at the door, so Magistrate Ma had no choice but to eavesdrop from outside.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The sound of beating came from the central military tent, but Zhu Tong said nothing.

Magistrate Ma shrank his neck:

"This guy is really a tough guy!"

However, inside the central army tent, two soldiers were hitting a pile of cloth with sticks.

Zhu Tong sat comfortably on the chair, eating and drinking while chatting with Liu Gao about the arrangements.

"Don't worry, I'll rescue you tonight."

Liu Gao and Zhu Tong clinked their wine bowls:

"How is Magistrate Ma as an official? Do you think it's appropriate to frame him?"

Zhu Tong: "That's perfect!"

"Okay, I'll send someone to pick up your kid first."

Liu Gao arranged everything clearly:
"You'd better stay in Liangshanpo in the future. Anyway, it won't be long before the imperial court will recruit you."

Zhu Tong said he understood.

Magistrate Ma eavesdropped for a while outside the central army tent, but could only hear the sound of hitting the board but could not make out anyone talking.

Suddenly, Liu Gao's voice became high-pitched, as if he was furious:

"Want some wine? I'll give it to you!"

"Wow--"

After a while, Zhu Tong came out with his chest wet.

He was limping and his butt was bloody red. I don't know how many times he was beaten with a stick.

Magistrate Ma tried to leave immediately, but Yue Fei saw him and shouted at him:

"Please stay, Magistrate Ma. Prime Minister En has something to tell you!"

Magistrate Ma had no choice but to turn around with a smile on his face, walk to Yue Fei, and give him a silver ingot:
"Young General, what's the matter, Minister En?"

"You'll know once you get in."

Yue Fei said with a straight face, and took the silver:

"This will never happen again!"

Good man, you collect the money but don’t do your job?
Magistrate Ma looked at Yue Fei in disbelief:

I thought I was the only cashier who didn't do his job!
I didn't expect that a guy like you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would take the money but not do the work!

Cautiously entering the central army tent, Magistrate Ma smiled and said:

"En Xiang, what can I do for you?"

"The prisoner Zhu Tong will be escorted to your county first."

Liu Gao waved his hand:

"I will deal with it myself later. Go ahead."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

County Magistrate Ma came out bowing and nodding, went back to hand over the matter to Yue Fei, and escorted Zhu Tong back to the county.

Lying in bed at night, Magistrate Ma was so full of thoughts that he didn't even bother to pay attention to his new eighteenth concubine.

After much thought, County Magistrate Ma felt that Liu Gao's temper was too difficult to control.

It’s better not to get too close to them, so as to avoid taking the blame.

As long as he could keep Zhu Tong under guard, he would have done a great job.

After figuring it out, Magistrate Ma was furious:

I obviously went there to flatter someone, so what is the point of flattery?
Grabbing the eighteenth concubine's hair, Magistrate Ma wanted to get angry, but he heard someone outside shouting:
“Oh no!

"Zhu Tong escaped from prison!"
