Dai Zong came out of the Yamen and went straight to the death row to see Song Jiang.
In the death row, Song Jiang had a single cell to himself, but it was very smelly. There were a lot of feces and urine scattered in the corner, exuding waves of stench. The nearby prisoners stayed away from Song Jiang's cell.
Thinking of the situation that day, Song Jiang was also ashamed and angry to death.
When Huang Wenbing saw the anti-poem he wrote on Xunyang Tower and sent people to arrest him, Dai Zong came up with an idea to ask him to pretend to be crazy and deliberately sprinkle feces and urine on his body, pretending to be crazy. He had no other ideas for a while.
, had no choice but to listen to Dai Zong's words, thinking that he could get away with it.
Unexpectedly, when he was escorted to the lobby, Huang Wenbing actually asked him to eat shit.
If you don't eat it, you're pretending to be crazy. If you eat it, you might be able to get away with it.
In order to survive, Song Jiang could only endure his nausea and ate a lot.
Unexpectedly, Huang Wenbing had already predicted that the person who could write such poems must not be a madman, but was just teasing him. After he ate it, he was beaten severely by the government officials.
Song Jiang couldn't survive the beating, so he could only plead guilty, saying that he had mistakenly written a poem while drunk.
Huang Wenbing saw that he had taken the trick, so he threw him into the death row. Finally, when he said that he liked shit and urine, he told the officials not to worry about him and let him solve his own problems in the prison to prevent him from taking the opportunity to escape.
The toilet in the prison is outside. When prisoners want to relieve themselves, they have to ask the prison guards to open the door and take them out, and then take them back when they are done.
This also gives the inmates an opportunity to collect money. If you are less filial on weekdays, there is no guarantee that when you are in a hurry, the inmates will suddenly have something to do. If you delay for a while, when you come back, the prisoners will no longer have to go out.
convenient.
Fortunately, before Dai Zong left, he secretly ordered two prisoners to bring some food to Song Jiang every day, otherwise he would have to rely on feces and urine to survive.
It's just that his name of Xiaoyi Black Saburo was also changed to Dung Beetle by the prisoners in the prison, who said that he wallowed in feces every day.
If a good man doesn't suffer the immediate consequences, Song Jiang can only endure it.
The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan, just like the poem, if he could avenge himself in his youth and stain the mouth of the Xunyang River with blood, he would at least kill all the people who mocked him.
If he had known that the government officials had already spread his shit-eating as a joke throughout Jiangzhou, I don't know if he would have the courage to live anymore.
Dai Zong also knew Huang Wenbing's order that day, and was afraid that Huang Wenbing would suddenly come to check, so he did not dare to let Xiao Laozi take Song Jiang out for convenience.
As soon as he entered the prison, he smelled a pungent stench, but he could only resist his nausea, walked to Song Jiang Prison, and called: "Brother Gongming."
Song Jiang was sitting there. When he heard Dai Zong's voice, he immediately became energetic. He got up and ran over without caring about the feces and urine on the ground: "How is it? When will Brother Chao Gai lead his troops to rescue me?"
Song Jiang opened his mouth, and Dai Zongdu seemed to smell a smell of shit. He pretended to look at the situation on the left and right, turned his head to avoid Song Jiang's smell, and said: "Brother, don't worry, brother Chao Gai of Liangshan has invited Xiao Rang, and Jin Dajian forged a letter
Cai Jing's reply asked Huang Wenbing to send someone to escort his brother to Beijing. As soon as he leaves the city, Liangshan heroes will rescue his brother."
Song Jiang had also heard about the reputations of Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian in Jezhou. When he heard this, he was delighted and said: "That's good. I know that brother Chao Gai will not leave the city alone. When I leave the city, you will also find an opportunity to leave the city and go to Liangshan with me."
Come join the gang. You can only write letters once. After I am robbed, I am afraid that the thief Huang Wenbing will write to Cai Jing to plead guilty. You must not forge letters again. If you stay here, you may be killed by that thief."
When Dai Zong heard this, he nodded and said: "Now that things have come to a point, Dai Zong has no choice but to accompany his brother to join the gang. These days, the two little prisoners I told him about have brought food to my brother."
Song Jiang nodded and said: "Well, they have not forgotten your instructions. I wonder where the Liangshan troops are waiting to strike?"
While the two were talking, they heard a man running outside and shouting: "Dean Dai, Master Zhizhou is calling you."
After hearing this, the two people couldn't help but change their expressions.
Song Jiang shook Dai Zong's hand and said: "That thief Huang Wenbing is cunning and changeable, and I'm afraid there will be further questioning. Brother, be calm, your life and mine are in your hands."
When Dai Zong heard this, he nodded and walked out in high spirits.
It turned out that after Dai Zong left, Huang Wenbing opened the letter and read it. The content of the letter was to ask him to escort Song Jiang to Tokyo. His achievements would be reported to the emperor sooner or later, and he would definitely be promoted.
Huang Wenbing also took a closer look at the mark, and saw that it was the most common "Hanlin Cai Jing", which was similar to the text on some Dharma stickers he had seen. It seems that after Cai Jing became an official, he switched to Hanlin Book.
Huang Wenbing couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Cai Jing really wanted to promote him.
I walked around the study room a few times, but I felt something was wrong.
Huang Wenbing also thought carefully that Song Jiang was just a good friend of Chao Gai. Even if he falsely accused him of being a strongman in Liangshan, Cai Jing would not take it too seriously. Unless he could catch Chao Gai and other thieves who directly robbed the Grand Master's birth certificate, maybe he would
Cai Jing would appreciate him while resolving his hatred, but he would definitely not reuse him just because of a random Liangshan thieves.
His original intention was just to get acquainted with Cai Jing through this matter. If he showed more filial piety during the new year and festivals in the future, he would be remembered by Cai Jing for a long time, and then it would be easy to seek promotion.
Moreover, even if Cai Jing decided to re-employ him, he would definitely not state it clearly in the letter to avoid being caught as a source of power.
Thinking of these two things that were wrong, Huang Wenbing immediately sent someone to report Dai Zonglai.
Dai Zong went to summon his father-in-law and came to Huang Wenbing's hall, where Huang Wenbing was drinking tea.
The gentleman asked Dai Zong to stay in the hall, then stepped forward and whispered into Huang Wenbing's ear.
Dai Zong saw Huang Wenbing's brows move and couldn't help but secretly become vigilant.
Huang Wenbing asked the gentleman to step aside, looked at Dai Zong and said with a smile: "Dean Dai is really dedicated to his duties. He went to the prison just after he came back."
Dai Zong was the prisoner of the two houses and was on duty in prison. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "I've been out for many days, but I'm afraid that those little prisoners will sneak around and take away the prisoners, so I went to the prison to check it out."
.”
Huang Wenbing heard this and said with a smile: "Then the death row prisoner Song Jiang has not escaped, right? He is a repeat criminal wanted by the Grand Master."
Dai Zong said calmly: "The prisoners in the small prison are not lazy, there are many prisoners." He did not reply to Song Jiang's words, so as not to reveal the truth.
Huang Wenbing nodded and said: "That's good. The Grand Master asked me to escort Song Jiang to the capital, but there was no room for mistakes. I had official business to deal with just now, so I didn't ask carefully. Let me ask you, when you went to Prime Minister Cai's Mansion
, but what kind of letter is received by a disciple?"
Seeing that Huang Wenbing was really suspicious, Dai Zong couldn't help but secretly scream, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Not too old, of medium build, with some mustache."
Dai Zong had never been to Tokyo, so he naturally didn't know what kind of people the disciples of Prime Minister Cai's mansion were like, so he could only describe them in the way most people looked like.
When Huang Wenbing heard Dai Zong's description, he couldn't help but become more suspicious, and said curiously: "When I was in Tokyo to take the exam, I also visited the grand master. At that time, the disciple was an old man and treated me very well. I don't know when he changed someone."
.You have been waiting in front of Prime Minister Cai’s Mansion for half a day, and you must have talked to this new disciple. I wonder where the original disciple has gone?"
Dai Zong only knew that Huang Wenbing was a scholar. He didn't know whether he had passed the exam in Beijing. Hearing this, he didn't dare to be careless and said carefully: "I did say a few words, but those days were the birthday of Grand Master Cai, and people came and went.
There are a lot of them, and they don’t even bother to talk to me."
Huang Wenbing had never been to Tokyo, and the general judge was only bought with money. He was just testing Dai Zong. Seeing that Dai Zong remained calm, he added: "On the grand master's birthday, there are naturally many people offering gifts. But the one who suits the grand master's heart the most is
I'm afraid I have to be counted. I heard Cai Zhizhou, the ninth son of the Grand Master, say that every year on the Grand Master's birthday, a reward is given to the person who gave the gift as a way of repaying the gift. I wonder what the Grand Master's reward will be this year?
Why don't you offer it up?"
Dai Zong also knew that Huang Wenbing often fawned over Cai Jiu in the past. Hearing this, he knelt down and said, "There is a reward, but the villain was in a hurry and lost it halfway, so he hid it from the adults."
When Huang Wenbing saw that Dai Zong finally showed his weakness, he couldn't help but feel happy and shouted: "Come here, take down Dai Zong for me."
The dozen or so men who had been ambushing him in the hall heard Huang Wenbing's greeting and immediately rushed out to capture Dai Zong.
At this time, Dai Zong also knew that he had been deceived, but he also knew that he could not change his mind and shouted: "I lost the reward. Please forgive me."
Huang Wenbing shouted: "Nonsense, what are you? The Grand Master will give you a reward. How many people have sent loads of gold and silver, but there is no reward, so why not just give it to you? How can you recruit this thief if you don't fight him with his bones?"
You guys drag this guy out and beat him harder."
These officials were messengers from the prefect's Yamen and had nothing to do with Dai Zong, so they immediately dragged Dai Zong out and started beating him.
There was no one to show mercy to Dai Zong, but within a few moments, he was beaten until his skin and flesh were torn, and blood flowed out.
Dai Zong couldn't beat him, so he had to shout: "Hit me, I do it."
Seeing Dai Zong's move, the gentleman dragged Dai Zong back to the hall.
Huang Wenbing glanced at Dai Zong, who was sweating in pain, and said with a smile: "Tell me."
Dai Zong saw the smile on Huang Wenbing's face and knew this guy, so he had to say: "This letter is fake."
"Oh? Where did this letter come from?"
Dai Zong did not dare to accuse Liangshan of forging it, so he could only say randomly: "When the villain was passing by the Huangshan Gate, he was unfortunately kidnapped by a group of strong men. He was tied up and went up the mountain. When he was about to cut his belly and dig out his heart, he found a letter from an adult in his arms.
That group of strongmen knew Song Jiang, so they wrote this reply to the villain to let the villain escape. Without the adult's letter, the villain could no longer go to Tokyo. For a moment, he was afraid of the adult's guilt, so he used this letter to deliver the letter.
.”
After hearing this, Huang Wenbing frowned and said, "You guys are still talking nonsense. How can the Grand Master's letter be forged by ordinary grass bandits? Drag him out and beat this guy harder."
Dai Zong hurriedly shouted: "Everything the villain said is true."
However, Huang Wenbing ignored Dai Zong and waved his hand for the officials to drag Dai Zong out.
Another severe beating, but Dai Zong did not dare to send him to Liangshan, so he could only grit his teeth and suffer.
Not long after, he was beaten until he fainted. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
