Chapter 178: The Power of the Imperial City Division
() In fact, Ximen Qing not only needs to take care of Xiao Tianqing’s funeral, but also Xiao Li Guanghuarong’s.
Ximen Qing specially sent An Daoquan to see the body of Xiao Li Guanghuarong, and it was confirmed that it was a strange slow-acting poison. It came from the same family as the strong poison coated on the medicine arrow in Chao Gai, but the poison was emitted by the poison.
Slower.
The ancient fragments recovered from the home of Zhiduoxing Wu Yong also prove this point.
Also seized were those bottles and cans. According to An Daoquan's estimation, Wu Yong's hidden poison was enough to kill all the leaders on the mountain.
This incident made Chao Gai, the King of Tota, feel horrified, and further proved that Wu Yong was not only a wise man, but also a poisonous man.
All the poisons and ancient fragments were burned, and Ximen Qing suggested not to make this matter public, so as not to cause panic among the village leaders.
Chao Gai thought so.
So this matter was covered up, and Wu Yong took off his belt and hanged himself that night when he was put in the cell.
Wu Yong's body was dragged to the back mountain and buried in a random hole without even setting up a grave. Xiao Tianqing and Hua Rong were buried side by side in a warm place with flowers.
Although Hua Rong was once threatened by Song Jiang and took action against Chao Gai, King Chao Tian knew his helplessness from the letter. In addition, without this letter, many facts would have been annihilated forever.
So Ximen Qing arranged it like this, and Chao Gai didn't say much.
While sorting out Xiao Tianqing's belongings, Xue'er found that the magic talisman Gongsun Sheng had given her that day was still sitting on the table in Xiao Tianqing's room.
Because it has been soaked in water, the charm is a little wrinkled.
Xueer quickly handed the talisman to Ximen Qing because she didn't know what to do with it.
Ximen Qing then remembered that day Gongsun Sheng showed Xiao Tianqing a photo and gave him this talisman, saying it could ward off disasters and bring good fortune.
Could it be that Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng saw that Xiao Tianqing was in a bloody disaster that day?
Ximen Qing, Xue'er, Pan Jinlian, Hua Yuerong, Wu Song, Shi Qian and others came to the grave and burned the talisman. Then he said to everyone with some melancholy: "This talisman was given to Xiao Tianqing by Mr. Gongsun that day.
, I never thought that Xiao Tianqing still failed to save his life."
Wu Song persuaded: "Who can explain clearly the things about gods and ghosts? Mr. Gongsun is very skilled in Taoism, so he must have seen something wrong, but how can he change the destiny destined by God? It can only be said that Xiao Tianqing is not lucky enough to live a good life.
I went to Tokyo a while ago to ask for permission from my teacher to officially accept Xiao Tianqing as my disciple, but I didn’t expect that my disciple would die here.”
Ximen Qing was silent for a moment. After returning, he asked Chao Gai for help from scholar Xiao Rang and jade-arm craftsman Jin Dajian to erect monuments for Xiao Tianqing and Hua Rong.
Jin Dajian has truthfully reported the matter of the bird seal script and stone tablets to Chao Gai.
Chao Gai did not blame him, but called Xiao Rang over to ask about the situation, and then ordered the stone tablet to be broken into pieces and buried in the ground.
The master scholar Xiao Rang and the jade-arm craftsman Jin Dajian expressed their gratitude and worked hard day and night, carving the stone tablet with great care.
Of course, Ximen Qing gave them another secret mission
After a few days, Liangshan returned to its previous calm.
Song Jiang and Wu Yong have almost disappeared from the topics discussed by the leaders. It seems that these two figures have never existed on Liangshan Mountain.
Except for Dai Zong, Li Kui, Song Jiang's family, and Kong Ming and Kong Liang who secretly went down the mountain that day, they all disappeared.
Kong Ming and Kong Liang were both Song Jiang's disciples, which was not surprising. Once Song Jiang defeated them, they had nowhere to hide on the mountain, so they simply rubbed oil on their soles and opened the way.
But that's all.
Other leaders turned to Chao Gai and Ximen Qing's side one after another. Even the people who had originally gone up the mountain and dropped grass for the golden sign of Shandong Jiyu suddenly came to their senses.
It turns out that this gold-lettered signboard is just a piece of wood with a blackened core and a layer of gold powder painted on the outside.
So what makes Song Jiang very depressed is that no one has come to visit him since he was imprisoned in the cell.
Although it was a stone cell, three meals a day were provided as usual, and there was no beating or abuse by the guards.
The cell next door contained Zhiduoxing Wu Yong. That night Song Jiang knocked on the wall and called Wu Yong to come and talk. Unexpectedly, Wu Yong's body was carried out the next day.
For a few days, Song Jiang lived like a year without anyone to talk to. After eating every day, he wandered around the cell until the jailer came to deliver the meal or it got dark, then he slumped down on the bed and fell asleep.
A few days later, Song Jiang didn't even have the thought of wandering around. He spent the whole day doing nothing but eating and sleeping, sitting in a daze.
Just when Song Jiang was on the verge of collapse and was wondering if he should take off his belt and hang himself, Chao Gai appeared.
Chao Gai looked at the disheveled Song Jiang sitting on the bed in a daze, and ordered the jailer to bring a chair over and sit in front of the bed. He also ordered the jailer to go out and guard, and then he asked: "What's going on in the Imperial City Division?"
At the same time, Chao Gai took out a waistband from his arms and waved it in front of Song Jiang: "Without Brother Hua Rong's legacy letter, we would not have found this thing."
This waist card is Song Jiang’s biggest secret. How could Song Jiang not recognize it?
Song Jiang rushed forward fiercely, kowtowed to Chao Gai like pounding garlic, and said: "Song Jiang knows that his sins are serious, and he still asks for mercy from the king of heaven."
"Compassion?" Chao Gai sneered and pointed at the big scar on his cheek: "When you and Wu Yong were planning, where was your compassion? When you poisoned Brother Hua Rong, where was your compassion? You
You don’t even spare your own people, and you still want mercy?”
Song Jiang was speechless for a moment and just kept kowtowing. Although the floor of the cell was mud, it was also mixed with a lot of stones. After kowtowing for more than a dozen times, Song Jiang's forehead was already covered in blood.
Chao Gai moved his chair further away, got out of the way and said, "I can't bear your black head. But your family has been secretly moved down the mountain by Dai Zong and Li Kui, so you can rest assured."
Song Jiang was shaken and raised his head. Blood and mud were mixed on his face, and tears and snot were mixed together. For a moment, he didn't know whether he was happy or sad: "Does the King of Heaven really mean what he said?"
"Why should I lie to you?" Chao Gai nodded slightly and said, "You should just tell me what's going on in the Imperial City Division. If it weren't for the fact that this matter was unclear, I would have ordered you and Wu Yong to have their heads chopped off. Now Wu Yong
If you hang yourself, you will be the only one left to explain."
Song Jiang collapsed on the ground and said with a wry smile: "Actually, Wu Yong doesn't know about the Imperial City Division either. Does the King of Heaven still remember what happened in Jiangzhou?"
Chao Gai sneered and said, "Why don't I remember? If I had known this day, why would I have gone to Jiangzhou to rob the execution ground?"
"That night I was suddenly taken out alone and met a man," Song Jiang recalled as he said, "That man knew everything, even the fact that you were coming to rob the law field!"
"The man said that if the matter is told and Jiangzhou is on guard, no matter how many people come, they can't save their lives. If you want to survive, you have to act as a spy for the Imperial City Division and lurk in Liangshan."
Chao Gai frowned when he heard this and said: "How did that person know that we were preparing to rob the law field? Is it because of the roundworms in our stomachs?"
"I don't know about this." Song Jiang shook his head and said: "But the situation was critical at the time, so I had to respond. Unexpectedly, that person also knew about Hua Rong, so he casually threw two waist cards out and promised to go there when the time came.
Be an official in the capital"
As he spoke, Song Jiang smiled sadly: "King of Heaven, you know that I am just a small custodian with no hope of becoming an official in this life. I will always be a petty official."
"So you agreed?" Chao Gai sneered: "The life of the brother on the mountain is not as good as a promise? Did you bribe you with an official position?"
Song Jiang was struck by what was on his mind and was speechless for a moment. Chao Gai stood up and said, "In your opinion, I'm just a stone blocking the road. Why are I telling you these things? If these things are known to the brothers on the mountain, I'm afraid you won't be able to see them in the blink of an eye.
It’s just meat sauce. No matter what, you just die in this stone prison.”
After saying this, Chao Gai didn't even look at Song Jiang, turned around and called the jailer to come over, opened the cell door, and went on his own.
The jailer moved the chair out, locked the door again, and spat on the ground viciously: "Bah! What Xiaoyi Heisaburo, I think you are the only one left with Hei! If the big boss hadn't said it before, I would have done it long ago.
I’ll kill you!”
Song Jiang slowly got up from the ground and fell down on the bed, his mind filled with confusion and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Do you really want to tell Chao Gai that you will die here?
Chao Gai walked out of the cell and went to the Juyi Hall to find a chair and sit down. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the second chair above was empty, and felt a sharp pain in his heart again.
Song Jiang is no longer the Song Jiang he was before.
Ximen Qing sat aside and waited quietly for Chao Gai to speak.
"Brother Ximen, I have asked everything clearly. I will do as you say."
Chao Gai told Ximen Qing what he had just talked about, shook his head and walked out of the Juyi Hall.
Ximen Qing thought for a while, then picked up the waist badge that originally belonged to Song Jiang from the chair where Chao Gai was sitting just now, and looked at it carefully.
"Imperial City Division is not easy."
First of all, the Imperial City Secretary knew that Song Jiang was imprisoned in Jiangzhou Prison.
Secondly, the Imperial City Secretary knew what Song Jiangri was thinking about at night.
Furthermore, where did the Imperial City Secretary know that Chao Gai was preparing to rob the execution ground?
At Song Jiang's weakest moment, give Song Jiang a hope that he can't refuse.
How clever is this?
Ximen Qing has an unprecedented interest in the Imperial City Division. If the resources of the Imperial City Division are under his control, it will obviously be a big help to his development plan.
But having said that, it was very sudden that he and Wu Song were dragged to the Imperial City Division.
When you get to Tokyo, you can only deal with it carefully step by step.
Now it’s better to hurry up and do what needs to be done.
Ximen Qing put the badge in his arms and walked to his yard.
That night, Song Jiang surprisingly did not touch the dinner sent by the jailer, but remained in a daze.
The jailer glared at Song Jiang, took it down and enjoyed it himself.
As soon as the jailer left, a gentle cough came from the corner of the stone prison.
"who!"
Song Jiang suddenly turned over from the bed and sat up: "Who is where?"
