Chapter 872 You were sent by Tong Guan to kill me!?
Another update.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Song Jiang, you are bold and reckless, deceive the king and the superiors, collude with thieves, and release the criminals privately. This time, you will be exempted from all your official positions according to the law, and you will be sentenced to thirty rods and be punished with a far-fighting military state!"
This trial was so urgent that Song Jiang had never expected. Fortunately, someone had secretly visited the prison last night and informed the news in advance. Only now can Song Jiang be so calm, and there is no trace of turmoil on his face.
Zhang Ganban, who represented Enxiang, said that the incident of colluding with the bandits of Liangshan caused Long Yan to be furious. He originally insisted on verdicting him to be executed. Enxiang was responsible for his great relationship and fought for him with great deeds. Finally, he persuaded the officials to turn around and finally ordered a punishment of assassination.
Moreover, Duke Lu had already arranged his place for him. His destination was not a distant military prefecture, but a large prefecture on Huainan West Road. Duke Lu wrote a letter to the prefecture overnight to ask him to take care of Song Jiang. Moreover, Shi Wenbin, the magistrate in the state, was Song Jiang's former boss. I believe that Song Jiang would be very comfortable when he arrived there.
Cai Jing made such a detailed arrangement and saved his life from the official family. Moreover, the charge was not a false accusation. What else could Song Jiang say at this time? He had no choice but to accept his fate. Fortunately, Cai Jing was so concerned about him, and he would have been ups and downs for three to five years, and he would have hope of resurrection in the future.
The weight of the spine stick made Song Jiang directly realize the care of his backer for him. He was born in the county seat, so he naturally knew that there were countless tough guys in the world who were beaten by the government after being beaten by the government. He then caught hundreds or thousands of miles on the road. Many people could not survive this cruel process and died halfway through the road. And his own spine stick was soft and heavier than tickling it.
My kindness, I, Song Jiang, will be repaid for such a great kindness!
After the process was over, it was time to leave Beijing. The sensible Song Jiang did not blame Cai Jing for not showing up at this time. Instead, he was very assigned to leave Kaifeng Prefecture, a sad place under the escort of two public officials.
Unexpectedly, just when the three of them left Nanxun Gate and continued to walk south for about twenty miles, they actually met Zhang Ganban from Cai's Mansion to hold a drink and see him off. Seeing this scene, Song Jiang was so moved that he almost cried. He grabbed Zhang Ganban's clothes and couldn't help but kowtow to the ground.
Because of wearing shackles, this head cannot be knocked down, but looking at Song Jiang, whose hair was covered with wooden shackles and knocked dust, Zhang Ganban was also moved. He immediately took out the style of the prime minister's mansion and condescendingly told the two men: "General Song is in trouble now, but that is also a talent among my husband. If you are negligent on the road, the next time you leave Beijing, it will be your two of you to get exile!"
They were all people who were hanging out in the capital, who didn't know Cai Jing's power? The two of them were so scared that they nodded like pecking rice. Zhang was so skillful that they had a big stick first, and then sweet dates. One of them lost fifty taels of horse hoof silver. The two of them were so happy that they were busy serving Zhang Ganban and Song Jiang to drink.
After three rounds of drinking, Song Jiang got up and said goodbye. Zhang Ganban shed a few more tears of parting and watched Song Jiang leave. Wait until the three of them walked away, Zhang Ganban attracted a burly man from the dark and said in a deep voice: "Have you recognized it?"
The big man replied after hearing this: "I'm sure!"
I saw that this man was quite strange, his eyes were red, and his beard and hair were all yellow, so he was very afraid of people when he looked at him.
"If you recognize it, go!" Zhang Ganban said with a ropeway.
The yellow-bearded man nodded, bowed to Zhang Ganban, and followed the old path that Song Jiang had walked.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Due to the threat of Zhang Ganban, the two men naturally did not dare to treat Song Jiang as if they were ordinary prisoners. They were abnormal, like slaves serving their masters. They could let Song Jiang give orders along the way, to stop, and to do it again. Serve him was more dedicated than serving his own father. Fortunately, Song Jiang was not an ignorant person. Whenever he met a restaurant, he would invite them to drink and eat meat. Whenever he had time, he would deliberately talk about his former prestige, which made the two men stunned and admired Song Jiang more and more. Along the way, he could be called a good story in the history of judicial escorts in the Song Dynasty.
On this day, a group of three left Yingzhou, the eastmost northwest Beijing Road, and saw that they were about to enter Shouzhou on Huainan West Road. At the intersection of these two roads, passers-by said that there was a chasing treasury that could not be seen at all, which was very dangerous and often had various evil legends. Song Jiang was an old army who entered the palace, so he naturally knew the dangers of the two ignorant areas and said immediately:
"The whole period I have walked before was full of people, and I haven't seen any thieves. But in this kind of land in two realms, there are the most thieves. Maybe you'll bump into it like this! In my opinion, we might as well go the other way, stay in a hotel during the day, and wait until the fourth day, and take advantage of the full moon to pass quietly. What do you think?"
"General Song is an old man. If you say so, let's do it like this!" The two men agreed immediately, afraid that they would lose their lives innocently on the road.
They said they could not leave, but they stopped leaving. The three of them found a restaurant nearby and ate and fell asleep early. At the third hour, the three of them quietly got up, but did not alarm anyone in the store. They took advantage of the darkness and rushed forward.
The three of them didn't speak along the way, but just focused on the darkness. Out of trust and for the convenience of travel, the two men took away the shackles on Song Jiang. After all, this person trusted by Mr. Cai, and it was only a matter of time before the big men wanted to save him from the sea of suffering. There was no need to escape halfway through such a low-level means!
"General, wait! I was too full in the afternoon and didn't dare to alarm the store when I came out. I really couldn't hold it in now. I wait for the villain to give me a respect first!"
Before this person could finish his words, a low moan after relief came from the sound of relief. Seeing this, Song Jiang and another man pinched their noses and hid in the wind. The man who was out of respect saw the moving figures of the two, said shyly: "It's a little smelly. Sorry, ah..."
"What a scream! You haven't closed your bird's beak. You are already disgusting enough. The stench will be floating in the wind for three miles. If you shout louder and attract the thief, can you bear it?" The man who accompanied Song Jiang scolded his companions.
There was no sound there, probably because he was still doing his best to do a big thing. Song Jiang and another official stopped talking. He just waited silently, not expecting that this time it would take half a cup of tea. The official next to Song Jiang said impatiently: "You guy are shitting or not, don't look at what place at this time, and let your temper be slow!"
There was no reply from there, but he kept humming. The man here couldn't see it anymore, so he walked up to urge him with a water and fire stick. However, as soon as he approached, he had not finished speaking. He saw his companion squatting on the ground suddenly burst out. In an instant, the man felt a pain in his throat, and the blood in his body was about to leak out. The man covered his throat with one hand and pointed at the black shadow with the other hand. In the end, he fell to the ground unwillingly.
Such a big noise. If Song Jiang did not notice the abnormality here, then his life in a strong man would be in vain. He only heard him start to be quick and wise, and said loudly: "Where is your friend on the opposite side? Xiao is the leader of Wang Lun, Liangshanbo, Shandong, and the leader of the Green Forest of Jiangnan, the leader of the Jiangnan Green Forest, unfortunately, he was killed by a traitor and sent to Huainan. Fortunately, the hero drew his sword to save him. If he did not abandon him, please leave a name. Xiaoke and the leader of the Chao Gai must be rewarded!"
This is exactly what Song Jiang is so smart. He was obviously reluctant or even afraid, but now he pretended to be grateful. This is all to eliminate the other party's vigilance and give a foreshadowing for the rest of his life. And he "inadvertently" said Chao Gai's name, which must be enough to calm the situation.
As soon as Song Jiang finished speaking, he subconsciously held the wooden shackle in his hand tightly and stared at the two male corpses vigilantly. However, the black shadow rushed towards him. Song Jiang was frightened, his heart beat like a drum, and he secretly cried: "Ah, I can't scare him!"
"Brother, it's me!" When the black shadow ran closer, a word suddenly appeared in his hoarse voice, which made Song Jiang startled again.
"Brother Yanshun?! How could you be here?!"
Song Jiang's shock was extraordinary. He thought of his unreasonable betrayal, but he was still unable to figure it out. When this person suddenly appeared, Song Jiang suddenly became panicked. The series of blows made him extremely sensitive. Although he did not want to believe that Yan Shun would betray him, the strange entanglements that had happened before made him lose his mind: "You, you... were sent by Tong Guan?"
"Tong Guan? What did Tong Guan send me to do?" Yan Shun was a rough man. He felt inexplicably about Song Jiang's words. He didn't think deeply at the moment. He just said to Song Jiang with great pride: "Brother, I've been lucky enough to earn these two birds, so let's go!"
"Go? Where to go?" Song Jiang looked at Yan Shun for a long time. From his tone to action, he didn't seem to be here to murder him. He couldn't help but feel much more at ease.
"Of course, this is a place of trouble. Let's find another peaceful nest and live happily for the rest of your life! Do you watch you be exiled by the court, but I am a brother, happy alone?" Yan Shun shouted loudly.
Yan Shun's words made Song Jiang feel a little moved. It seems that Cai Jing was not the only one who cared about him when he was sent to Shuzhou. The old brothers of the past were not in vain. Song Jiang sighed for a moment, but did not answer Yan Shun's words, but asked him: "Brother, how did you know that I was assassinated?"
"How else can you know, the guy named Wen said! He said you were framed by Tong Guan, and the emperor was furious and wanted to deal with you. If Cai Jing had not guaranteed it, you would have been in a different position! Do you do not angry, how much blood and effort have I shed for the court, but in the end I have to be sent to you. Isn't it that I am still fucking him, and continue to be a cow for them?" At this point, Yan Shun became excited:
"I don't know if it was Wen Da's grandma who didn't love her uncle and didn't love her to make a bad bird, or if Tong Guan was the one who interfered with it. His mother actually sent a document to arrest me along the way. It was also unlucky. I didn't encounter any trouble all the way from Jingdong. I just got into trouble a few days ago with a group of people from the government. I was accidentally injured. I was worried that Tong Guan would send two martial arts guys to escort my brother! Fortunately, God is protected, these two are ordinary!"
"Ah, my good brother, you are really confused! I have been protected by Xianggong Cai all the way, and it has only been a year or two to go to Shuzhou. When you survive this, you will be back again, but you are so damn... Alas!" Song Jiang couldn't help but stumble when he heard this.
"A year and a half, a year and a half, and I really wait for a year and a half, who do you think you still remember you Song Gongming? I'll tell you, before I left, I discussed with them to save you halfway. The result is! Everyone said like you, and there was no one at all, and I'm willing to rob you with me, my brother!" Yan Shun said gritting his teeth.
Song Jiang was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and said dejectedly: "They didn't come! Brother, do you know what happened to me this time?"
Yan Shun shook his head ignorantly and said, "Wen Da didn't say it clearly, he just said it was Tong Guan's frame-up. How could I know what the reason is!"
Song Jiang said "ah" and felt mixed feelings in his heart, saying leisurely: "It was the thing I told you to do when I was in Hedong. Somehow it was discovered by someone, but now it has become my crime!"
When Yan Shun heard Song Jiang's words, he was a little confused and said for a while: "Is it the matter of Zheng Zhirui?"
Song Jiang laughed terrified: "Haha, they said I colluded with the bandits of Liangshan... I haven't fought against Liangshan since I stepped into the green forest? What a pity, it's ridiculous. Just to repay King Chao with a favor, I actually became a bandit who colluded with Liangshan. Brother, how ironic is this charge!"
"Wait, wait..." The amount of information contained in Song Jiang's words was too large, and Yan Shun couldn't react for a moment. After Song Jiang sighed, Yan Shun sorted out the reason why Song Jiang was asked about it and said with a embarrassed look: "Brother, after saying this, it seems that I can only sue the news! Because the matter only passed by my hands from beginning to end!"
Yan Shun's words suddenly touched Song Jiang's nerves. Yes, if Liang Shanbo had attacked him, how could Yan Shun be safe? What Wang Lun doesn't like most is a person like Yan Shun. If he wants to eat human flesh and dig the hearts of living people to make sober soup, he will do everything. If Wang Lun takes action, he will not let Yan Shun go easily!
It seems that it was done by the people around me!
"Brother, think about it carefully, and think about it carefully! Have you ever mentioned this to others? I mean anyone except me!" Song Jiang asked urgently.
Seeing that Song Jiang was anxious, Yan Shun tried to recall it. Unfortunately, he was a lump of wood and could not say a word for a long time. Seeing this, Song Jiang reminded him from the side: "Then think about it again, have you ever drunk with your brothers after that time?"
Yan Shun slapped his head with a "snap", pointed at Song Jiang with confidence and said, "Yes, this is really true! Brother, you know, I am a well-known person who has a good alcohol tolerance. No one can do anything to me at any time, but that time, someone invited me to drink, and I was really drunk!"
When he heard this, Song Jiang's heart was pounding, and he asked with great disobedience: "Say, tell me quickly, who is it?" (To be continued.)
