Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Ground Fire Is Burning

Gao Qiu suddenly became enlightened - why should he bother with Zhang Shuye because of what he did? He only had to worry about Zhang Shuye's actions!

So Gao Qiu immediately felt refreshed and said to Zhang Shuye with a smile: "Prefect Zhang, I have something unclear, and I would like to ask Prefect Zhang for advice - last winter, Prefect Zhang showed great mercy and helped countless refugees in Jeju City.

This meritorious deed is really great! I heard that Zhang Taishou is an upright official and his family has no family.

Yu Cai, the Jeju government treasury also reports famine all year round - it is right next to Yangshan! It would be strange if there is no famine, and it is quite sympathetic to say - but what? It is neither the public nor the private sector to help so many victims.

But Zhang Taishou can spend as much money as carrying earth to fill a hole! I hope Zhang Taishou can teach me the secret of this."

Zhang Shuye sighed in his heart: "What is supposed to come has come! Ximen Qing! When you gave me money and food, you had expected this day, right? However, even if you deliberately framed me, you have not settled so many people."

I am very grateful for the opportunity for my life!"

He thought clearly in his mind and had no scruples in his words. He heard Zhang Shuye say loudly: "Gao Qiu, you don't have to make insinuations. I, Zhang Shuye, am responsible for all the work - most of the food and medicine for the relief of the victims are from

It was received from Ximen Qing in Liangshan—are you satisfied?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the tent was shocked. Gao Qiu was overjoyed and secretly gritted his teeth and said: "Zhang Shuye, old man! This means that if you don't take the road to heaven, you will fall into hell without any door! As long as you admit it yourself,

See how I entertain you!"

He laughed loudly at that moment, tapped the table with his middle knuckle, and beat his words: "Prefect Zhang! You are the official of the imperial court, the shepherd of a state. You protect the country and the people, and catch bandits and thieves. But,

It's your duty! But you are such a loyal minister

, how did you learn to collude with bandits? Is it fun to eat other people's food and spend other people's money? Today, the Japanese adults have been ordered by the Holy Order to go to Liangshan to suppress the rebel bandits. This is where the duty lies. There is nothing that can be done about the behavior of the official and bandit family by Zhang Taishou.

I have no choice but to take care of it! Hahaha——"

Looking at the triumphant Gao Qiu, Zhang Shuye sneered: "Even if I tell you, a villain like you, who becomes arrogant as soon as he succeeds, you won't understand the principles of how a manly doctor behaves! If it weren't for you and other villains,

How could the world become what it is now if people confuse the government? The rebels and thieves everywhere are obviously forced by you traitors? Good people want to do good things, but they have to secretly

Carrying the name of a thief, this kind of world is really unlovable! Gao Qiu! Junior! Since I, Zhang Shuye, have come today, I have no intention of going back alive. You should stop showing off there.

Feel free to use any means - you traitors are killing the people and enriching yourself, forcing good people to become bandits. One day, you will reap the consequences - at that time, someone will be waiting on the road to hell to see your end!"

The ten Jiedu envoys in the tent couldn't help but tremble with fear, but they were also secretly attracted by Zhang Shuye's courage. When Gao Qiu heard these unseen words, he rarely became furious, but still smiled and said: "

Although Zhang Taishou spoke with great arrogance, I could not understand even a single sentence. Who is the traitor? Who is the traitor? Anyway, I have not colluded with the rebels, and I have not.

I have enriched my own pockets in the name of disaster relief. The word "treacherous minister" can no longer be applied to me! Zhang Taishou, you are a decent civil servant. Now that you have confessed your crime, although I can act in an expedient manner in order to punish you, it is not inconvenient for me to act recklessly.

I'll take matters into your own hands - so be it! Please ask the governor to rest among our troops for the time being. I will submit a report to the court and let the officials make a decision. What do you think?"

Zhang Shuye said "Hey", raised his head and ignored this villain.

Gao Qiu smiled and said, "Here comes someone!"

Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong had been waiting for this sound for a long time. The two brothers opened the curtain and led people to break into the tent, crowding the tent to the full.

Gao Qiu said leisurely: "Although Prefect Zhang is a civil servant and has strong martial arts skills, if the confinement is only relaxed, I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience - there are wooden cages and prison cars here, and fine steel shackles. Please use them first!" After hearing this, the gangsters said,

They shouted in unison to cheer for their master.

Zhang Shuye sneered and said in a long voice: "The fine steel shackles are what you want, and the wooden prison prison car is my hometown - lead the way!" As he said this, he strode out of the tent without even bothering to look back. A group of footmen panicked and hurriedly chased him away.

He followed behind.

Dang Shixiong gritted his teeth and bowed to Gao Qiu and said: "Master Taiwei, you only put this old man in a prison cart and put him in a wooden cage, but didn't you give him an advantage? He must have a detailed plan to collude with Liangshan. Why not torture him and make him an iron man?"

Case? Only in this way can we see the merits of Lord Taiwei!"

Gao Qiu lazily said: "How unreasonable! No matter how bad Zhang Shuye is, he is still the governor of a state. No matter how reasonable I am, I can't despise him. Otherwise, it will not look good on the face of the civil servants in the country. If the rabbit dies, the fox will be in trouble with me."

, there is no need to ask for Liangshan!"

Wen Huanzhang praised: "Your Majesty Taiwei is thoughtful and thoughtful, and he is a true general!"

Gao Qiu smiled proudly and thought to himself: "Besides, Uncle Ye is Cai Taishi's enemy. I will send him intact to Tokyo and hand him over to Cai Taishi for brewing. How big a favor is that? What kind of guy is in the prison of the capital?

No? The conditions in this army are rudimentary and there is no way to create any tricks. If it is damaged, it will not be beautiful."

However, thinking of the plan he had already made, Gao Qiu smiled sinisterly and said immediately: "Zhang Shuye colluded with Liangshan and accepted money and food bribes from the thieves. He himself admitted it, but I did not wrong him - starting from tomorrow,

Pushing the prison cart with wooden cages through the streets of Jeju, it gave Governor Zhang a long face, and also allowed those unscrupulous people who have no eyes or long minds to see and recognize clearly what these loyal ministers are after they have been skinned!

"

When Wen Huanzhang and Dang Shixiong heard this, they were overjoyed and complimented in unison: "This move of Lord Taiwei has wiped out the firewood and ruined Zhang Shuye's reputation. It is really wonderful!"

Dang Shiying said: "Your Majesty, Taiwei, I just came to report that the city of Jeju is still not open. We can't enter Jeju, but where do you want to go to camp?"

Gao Qiu waved his hand: "It doesn't matter! Jeju under Zhang Shuye's rule must be a poor city. How much oil and water can there be? I'm too lazy to take his idea! By the way, give Niu Bangxi an order and don't rob it casually anymore.

Come on! The soldiers have all grabbed their wealth. Who is willing to sacrifice his life in a war? Mr. Wen, please stop worrying

Write a proclamation, bring it back to the headquarters of the ten Jiedu envoys, and make it known widely - just say that if Liangshan is leveled, I will reward you ten times. If Liangshan has more money, what's the point of a hundred times? Let those bastards shine.

, don’t just focus on a few small local coins, you won’t be able to survive like that!” Wen Huanzhang agreed with a smile.

Shi Jiedu also thanked them one after another. Gao Qiu said: "We will rest here for two days to calm down the young men, and then the soldiers will surround Liangshan. We must not let any of the thieves escape, which will harm us."

But when it comes to mobilizing troops to fight, I am a layman, so I am just playing tricks on you generals - all the Jiedushi Masters should work hard!"

Everyone said they didn't dare, and after leaving, they set up camp and organized their troops to prepare for the invasion of Liangshan. Dang Shixiong was in high spirits, and the next day he personally escorted Zhang Shuye to Jinxiang City in the south of Jeju for a parade, which shocked the whole county.

.

There are four cities under the jurisdiction of Jeju, including Yuncheng in the north, Juye Castle in the middle, Rencheng in the east, and Jinxiang Castle in the south. Half of the 800 miles of Liangshan River are under the jurisdiction of Jeju. With the advance of Gao Qiu's troops

Moving forward, Zhang Shuye also swam from Jinxiang to Rencheng, and then swam back to the foot of Jeju City.

Although Zhang Shuye was shackled and in a cage these days, he was unyielding and just waited for the imperial edict from Tokyo to come down with a clear decision. Therefore, it was time to eat and sleep. After a few days, he was almost dying of weight. After parading on the street

At that time, although Dang Shixiong

The arranged gong was beating loudly, shouting Zhang Shuye's "crimes" to silence, but except for the deliberately arranged gongs who yelled a few words, the people were silent and spoke quietly.

Looking at their respected prefect.

Although they are ignorant and even ignorant, they are not fools who can be manipulated by others. If Zhang Shuye was a corrupt official, he would have become the guest of the traitor Gao Qiu. Why would he need to ride in a prison car?

The silence among the people seemed to be an undercurrent surging beneath the calm sea.

When the prison car arrived at the foot of Jeju City, the city was filled with uproar. The people's cries were earth-shattering, and I don't know who had the courage to shout: "What's the use of supporting a court that knows no difference between loyal and evil? What better?

If you rebel, grab the prefect and come back!" - The crowd responded, and the three brothers of the Zhang family found themselves unable to suppress them - firstly they didn't want to suppress them, but secondly they really couldn't suppress them.

Dang Shixiong and other escorting officers and soldiers all changed their expressions - if all the people in the city ran out, they would be trampled to pieces! But just when Dang Shixiong was in panic all day long, Zhang Shuye, who was sitting there,

He stood up from the prison.

He blocked the gates of Jeju City with just a shout - "Whether I, Zhang Shuye, am guilty or not, it is up to the officials to make a clear decision! If you want to commit rebellion, do you want to force me to die early?"

All the people listened and could no longer move. They all bowed in the dust and cried bitterly. The streets were wet. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dang Shixiong quickly pushed the prison cart and ran away like a bereaved dog.

After the frightened Dang Shixiong ran to Yuncheng County, he finally felt relieved. Yuncheng County is a small county. How much trouble can those unscrupulous people make here?

Dang Shixiong was wrong - although the people here were not as dense as Jeju City, they had a good county magistrate, Shi Wenbin.

Shi Wenbin has served two terms as magistrate of Yuncheng County. When the first term was handed over, Cai Jing's birthday was robbed at Chao Gai Huangnigang. All officials from top to bottom were unlucky.

, it happened that he was transferred away, so a good man was rewarded and escaped disaster.

However, Shi Wenbin was an upright official and had no money. Although he went to visit Shangguan on weekdays to celebrate his birthday, he could not afford to give gifts, so he just ran away and used them where he was. Later, officials around Liangshan really couldn't sell them.

The superiors discussed it and sent Shi Wenbin back to his old place to continue being the magistrate of Yuncheng County!

When Shi Wenbin returned to Yuncheng, he was warmly welcomed by the people of Yuncheng. After all, it is not easy to meet an upright official! To be honest, it is easier to be an upright official at the foot of Liangshan Mountain, because no one on the ground dares to commit lawlessness and go out of his way.

Liang Shanheng chopped off the rafters at the head, and Shi Wenbin only wanted to focus on doing practical things for the people, so he was very motivated - after being an official all his life, working at the feet of thieves and bandits was the most enjoyable!

Unexpectedly, I bumped into an outstanding rafter today - Dang Shixiong.

Dang Shixiong pushed over the prison car where Zhang Shuye was being held, and ordered Shi Wenbin to arrange for the security guards to beat the gongs, arrange for people to throw garbage into the prison car, and arrange for people to accuse Zhang Shuye of crimes - in his opinion, these little

The county magistrate is a running dog. As long as he, a confidant of Lieutenant Gao, snorts, the little county magistrates can only rush around to follow him.

But Shi Wenbin was not one of those small county magistrates - when he saw clearly who was sitting in the prison car, he was furious, pointed his finger on the tip of Dang Shixiong's nose and cursed: "Who are you? How dare you bully a state like this.

parents?!"

It's a pity that his nerdy temper came at the wrong time - Dang Shixiong, who was deflated in the city of Jeju and felt that he had lost face, whipped him and cursed: "I rebelled against you! This time, I not only want to bully a state."

Parents, even the parents in your county have been bullied!"

He lost his face in Jeju City and found it back in Yuncheng County! This was the most wrong decision Dang Shixiong made in his life.

He ordered Shi Wenbin to be imprisoned in a wooden cage in a prison car - the cage was big enough anyway, and it would be a waste to only imprison Zhang Shuye - and then he waddled around the streets. Unexpectedly, he angered all the heroes in Yuncheng County.

People are not different, it was Lei Heng who was the head of the government office. Shi Wenbin was Lei Heng's old boss, and the two got along well. How could Lei Heng tolerate what Shi Wenbin, a great general of the party, did to him?

In anger, Lei Heng ran home and without saying a word, he knelt down in front of his mother and kowtowed.

This time, Lei's mother was shocked: "Heng'er, what trouble have you caused again?"

Lei Heng said in a deep voice: "Mother! The child is not causing trouble, but is preparing to cause trouble - Mother, you don't know, a dog officer under Gao Qiu came to our county, his name is Dang Shixiong, using a prison car

Not only did he flatter our Jeju Governor Zhang, but he also arrested our county magistrate, shut down his carriage and paraded him through the streets. How can such humiliation be tolerated? Even though the boy was reckless, he also

I know that Prefect Zhang is a good official, and the county magistrate is a good official. Nowadays, good officials are put in cages. They belong to men. Who can bear it? Mother! I am bold, let Dang Shixiong be the dog official.

I was just afraid that I would be frightened, so I knelt down like this - Mother! I have finished speaking, you are very merciful, I hope I can give it a try!"

After hearing this, Lei's mother stretched out her hand to pull Lei Heng up and said categorically: "My child! You are doing the right thing! Zhang Taishou, a good official like the county magistrate, how can you be insulted by a dog thief? You can do it yourself."

"Don't worry about me. Although your mother is old, her muscles and bones are still strong. She walked a few steps with a cane and went up to Liangshan!"

Lei Heng was surprised and happy. He didn't expect that my mother not only allowed him to go, but also thought about the way to retreat. He immediately asked: "Mom! Why do you suddenly want to go to Liangshan?"

With a sound of "Ouch", Lei's mother sighed: "I can't let go of the merit cakes made by Ximen officials and local chefs back then! I simply went to Liangshan this time and relied on your face to ask them for more.

You may as well come to the Buddha and make offerings!"

Lei Heng asked again: "Mother! Are you really willing to let us leave this house?"

"Confused!" Lei's mother scolded her son, "Liangshan and Yuncheng County are just a stone's throw away. When Liangshan beats away these bandits, you and I can come back whenever I want. Why would I be reluctant to do so?"

Speaking of which, Lei's mother packed up a small baggage and went out with a cane to catch the wind. Lei Heng stayed there, imagining his mother shouting to the young man who was in charge of the boat in Liangshan by the water: "I went to Liangshan Dazhai to join the gang.

"!" - At that time, the people on the boat will definitely fall into the water like dumplings!

Lei Heng shook his head, shook away all the random thoughts, and got up to find his old partner Zhu Tong, the handsome bearded man. Zhu Tong's martial arts was better than his own, and with his help, the county magistrate was five points more confident in rescuing Prefect Zhang.

When I found Zhu Tong's house, I saw Zhu Tong packing his things. When he saw Lei Heng, he said solemnly: "Brother, you are here just in time. I have something to say to you!"

When Lei Heng saw Zhu Ding tucking the big bag into his waist, a strange resonance suddenly arose in his heart, and he smiled and said, "Brother, please tell me!"

Zhu Tong then got straight to the point: "That evil thief Dang Shixiong has bullied our Yunzhou County people too much. I wanted to go and deal with him and save Prefect Zhang. When Master Shi came out, I know that brother, you have an old mother at home, unlike me who has no ties."

I’m a carefree person, so I won’t try to get you to take action together - but if there is a loud voice, I hope that for the sake of our past friendship, brother, don’t try to stop me!”

After hearing this, Lei Heng was very happy, but he turned over his clothes and showed a row of daggers like tiger fangs on his waist. When Zhu Dian saw it, he was stunned at first, then looked at each other, and suddenly they had the same mind.

It's a big laugh.

After laughing, Zhu Tong sighed: "Brothers are so brave and righteous, but what can they do to my mother?"

Lei Heng let out a breath and said angrily: "Damn it! The government is really forcing the people to rebel. I have no choice but to rebel - my mother has already packed her bags and went to Liangshan to join the gang before me!"

After hearing this, Zhu Tong almost choked to death on his own saliva. He coughed for a long time and then said: "This... a world where even the old mother can't sit still... Alas! Something is wrong! Something is wrong!"

Lei Heng then geared up and said: "Brother, aren't you talking nonsense? Okay! What should we do now? Dang Shixiong has more than a thousand people with him, and there is a Jiedushi from the imperial court leading the troops nearby. What should we do?

Only then can we deal with Dang Shixiong, but also rescue the two adults?"

However, Zhu Tong was not as passionate and impulsive as Lei Heng. He was a calculated person and had already made up his mind. After listening to Lei Heng's words, he became even more determined. He said decisively: "Brother, you and I must do this.

If this is the case, it will definitely make the dog official feel frightened!" This is exactly:

They only say that a good man threw himself into the Water Margin and saw an old woman going to Liangshan. But I don’t know what happened next. Let’s hear the explanation next time.
