Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Chapter 188 will count

Yanshun and Wang Ying didn't dare to chase after seeing the officers and soldiers, Yanshun smiled proudly: "Hahaha~ these officers and soldiers are all courageous people, they only dare to play tricks in the city, how dare they leave The city is too far away to chase us? Let's go back and report to Brother Song Jiang, saying that today's plan has succeeded."

Wang Ying said with a smile: "We have captured all their military commanders, so how can there be anyone in Qingzhou City who can lead troops to fight? It's a pity that we didn't catch two beautiful women in the city today!"

The two of them disappeared into the southern night with the Qingfeng Mountain robber.

……

Because of the timely attack, the thieves in Qingfeng Mountain had not had time to set fires everywhere.Some of the houses they lit up by throwing torches were quickly extinguished by Ximen Qing and others who had been prepared for a long time.The loss outside the south gate was not large.

Ximenqing entrusted Xin Zan, Jiao Ting, and Shi Yong with the aftermath, and asked them to lead the officers and soldiers to continue to put out the remaining fire and count the losses.Ximen Qing took Luan Tingyu into the city first and went up to the south gate tower to meet Zhizhou Murong Yanda and others.

After going up to the tower, Zhizhou Murong Yanda took Ximen Qing's hand and praised him.He said that today, if Ximen Qing hadn't predicted the enemy's opportunity first, and guessed that the Qingfeng Mountain bandits would come to attack Qingzhou City at night, he was afraid that the hundreds of households outside the south gate under his rule would be tortured by the Qingfeng Mountain bandits, and their lives would be ruined.

Murong Yanda said that Ximen Qing and the others were all great contributors to protecting the environment and the people, and he would definitely report to the court what happened tonight to plead for credit for Ximen Qing and others.

Ximen Qing didn't want to be drawn into the ranks of officials by the imperial court because of this matter, he politely declined Murong Yanda's kindness, saying that he would discuss it after the Qingfeng bandits were wiped out.

Murong Yanda nodded when he heard the words, and said that the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain were too rampant, so he entrusted the rescue of Qingfeng Village and the extermination of the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain to Ximen Qing and the others.If necessary, I can also add troops to Ximen Qing and the others.

What Ximenqing did tonight was to use the power of the Qingzhou government to wipe out the Qingfeng Mountain bandits. Therefore, when Murong Yanda proposed to temporarily entrust him with important tasks, he immediately agreed.

Murong Yanda nodded when he saw that Ximen Qing was brave enough to take charge.He pushed back his subordinates on the left and right, leaving only himself, Ximenqing, Luan Tingyu, Zhao Mingcheng, Li Qingzhao, Qin Hui and Wang Ya on the tower.

Murong Yanda asked Ximen Qing: "Ximen Ximen, you are really as Zhao Xiandi said, capable of both literature and martial arts, you are a rare talent! Today's incident was as expected by you again, the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain were pretended to be Qin Ming came to attack the city. If Brother Ximen hadn’t reminded me, I would have been fooled by these robbers and punished Qin Ming’s family.”

Ximenqing asked: "Master Zhizhou sees clearly that this person is not Qin Tongzhi?"

Murong Yanda replied: "The thief is somewhat similar to Qin Ming, and it's really hard to tell them apart in the dark. It's not that Brother Ximen had an insight, I'm afraid that the guards in this city will regard the thief as Qin Ming and let him I hurt good people.

After Brother Ximen said it, I took a closer look at the thief on the tower, and sure enough, he was a little different from Qin Ming, so he must be someone pretending to be him.

Furthermore, Qin Ming's human nature is as fierce as fire, when you rush out, if the real Qin Ming would have stepped forward to fight you for dozens of rounds, instead of just slipping away quietly like this night.This person is undoubtedly Qin Ming in disguise! "

Zhao Mingcheng asked from the side: "Ximen brother, if what you said is correct, after those Qingfeng mountain bandits framed Qin Tongzhi, will they let him go back to Qingzhou city tomorrow?"

Seeing that none of the people present were outsiders, Ximen Qing replied: "That's right. Those Qingfeng Mountain bandits took so much trouble to impersonate Qin Tongzhi to come to Qingzhou City to cause trouble and sabotage, probably because they wanted to recruit Qin Tongzhi to join them, and Qin Tongzhi swore to die If they didn't follow, they came up with this poisonous plan to cut off the Qin Tongzhi's retreat.

These robbers didn't know that we had seen through tonight, and thought they had succeeded in their scheme.Then tomorrow, in order to make Qin Tongzhi come back against a wall and give up, they will definitely let Qin Tongzhi go down the mountain pretendingly. "

After hearing this, Murong Yanda said, "It would be great if Qin Ming could return to the city tomorrow! I will let him join hands with you to lead the army and go to Qingfeng Mountain, and we will wipe out these stubborn bandits!"

Ximen Qing heard this, but said: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. The thieves on Qingfeng Mountain are extremely cunning. If they find out that I and Qin Tongzhi led the army to go to conquer, they will definitely flee far away and it will be difficult to completely wipe them out. In the future, these thieves will be bandits. Harm to one side, and it may become a serious problem for Qingzhou."

After hearing this, Murong Yanda asked Ximen Qing: "That's it, what good strategy does Brother Ximen have?"

Ximen Qing said: "I have a plan, which may be able to wipe out the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain.

After the rebellious Hua Rong from Qingfeng Village fled to Qingfeng Mountain, his family was still in Qingfeng Village, and he must have been imprisoned by Huang Dujian now.Huarong and the Qingfengshan bandits must want to attack Qingfengzhai and rescue their family members.

The next strategy is, when Qin Tongzhi comes back tomorrow, tell him that Qingfeng Mountain used poison to force him to join the group, let him pretend to be desperate, return to Qingfeng Mountain, and lure the group of thieves to Qingfeng Village.

But tonight, Xia led the army to quietly rush to Qingfengzhai to reconcile with Huang Dujian, set up an ambush outside the village, and wiped out the group of thieves who went to Qingfengzhai. "

After hearing this, Murong Yanda even said it was a good plan, so he must act according to the plan.

At this time, a person suddenly heard shouting: "Wait a minute, brother Ximen's plan is good, but there is a loophole, I'm afraid those thieves will see through it and kill Qin Tongzhi's life instead."

Ximen Qing heard the words and saw that the person who spoke was Qin Hui, a professor from Mizhou.Ximenqing knew that Qin Hui was one of the most powerful elites of this era who was able to sit on the position of prime minister later.Since he said there were loopholes, it must be because of his lack of consideration.

Ximen Qing immediately asked Qin Hui humbly: "Brother Qin, do you know what is wrong with the plan just below? I hope you can give me some advice!"

Qin Hui smiled and said: "Brother Ximen, why are you so polite? You have no official status, and you still stand up to help the magistrate and work hard to wipe out the bandits. Brother, I really admire you! As an official of the imperial court, it is time to serve the country. contribute.

I am a scholar, without the strength to restrain a chicken, I cannot go to the front line to kill thieves in person, so I can only advise you.Looking at all the brothers in armor and holding sharp, I feel ashamed, how can I give me advice? "

Ximen Qing was no longer polite, and directly asked Qin Hui if there were any loopholes in his plan.

Qin Hui said that Ximenqing's strategy was indeed very good, but it failed to take into account that Qin Ming was a fiery human being who was not good at disguising.In other words, Qin Ming is not suitable to be an undercover spy.

If he came back to Qingzhou City tomorrow to know the ins and outs, and then let him go back to Qingfeng Mountain, with his personality, he might change his color at any time, and he would definitely expose himself.At that time, Qin Ming himself will be in danger, and his plan to lure the bandits from Qingfeng Mountain into Qingfengzhai's trap will also come to nothing.

Chapter 189 Qin Hui Makes a Plan

Sure enough, just being familiar with history is not enough, one must also be careful of the changes caused by the random flapping of the butterfly's wings.Ximen Qing sighed in his heart.

In order to save hundreds of families outside the south gate tonight, without disturbing Yanshun, Wang Ying and others, and avoiding causing a butterfly effect, Ximen Qing, Xin Zan and others spent a lot of effort.

It took Xin Zan half a day to lead the people into the city to protect them, and Ximen Qing played a scene of chasing the traitor Qin Ming with Yan Shun and Wang Ying. Flawless, it's done.

In this way, the historical process of Qin and Ming on Qingfeng Mountain can continue to move forward along the established track, so that the next plan can be fully controlled by Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing originally thought that he had planned carefully enough, and Song Jiang and others on Qingfeng Mountain would surely fall into the net of heaven and earth set by him step by step.But it was a bit of an omission, Qin Ming was impatient and couldn't hold his breath.

After hearing Qin Hui's words, Ximen Qing realized that his plan did have a big loophole. With Qin Ming's character, he couldn't hide it. Let him be an undercover agent, and the risk of failure was too great.

Now that Qin Hui has seen this, maybe he has a better way? Ximen Qing turned his attention to Qin Hui, and Murong Yanda also asked Qin Hui if there was a way to remedy it.

Qin Hui looked around, lowered his voice and said, "I have a plan to make up for brother Ximen's loopholes. I just want to wrong Qin Tongzhi, I'm afraid he will have resentment towards me in the future..."

Murong Yanda said: "Professor Qin, it's okay! Then Qin Ming is my confidant general. As long as the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain can be wiped out, I will relieve the two of you, and I won't make him hate you."

Qin Hui said: "In this case, then I will offer a strategy. Brother Ximen first led troops to Qin Ming's house with great fanfare, captured his family's Xiaodu, and said that Qin Ming was plotting rebellion and wanted to attack Qingzhou to take away his family. The magistrate of the state did this To kill his whole family."

Ximenqing asked: "Then shall I take Qin Ming's family to the barracks and secretly control them?"

Qin Hui said: "That's right! Then Mr. Lao Zhizhou found a few people from the death row and beheaded them, making their faces blurred. They will be hung on the wall of the south gate tomorrow morning, pretending to be Qin Ming's family members."

As soon as Ximenqing heard it, he understood that Qin Hui wanted to make Qin Ming think that his family members had been killed and he had nowhere to go, so that he could really go to Qingfeng Mountain to join the gang!

If this is the case, Qin Ming's face can't hide the matter, the fear of the future and the resentment towards the Zhizhou Murong Yanda will definitely show their true feelings to Song Jiang and the others, and Song Jiang and the others can't help but believe it...

Sure enough, I heard Qin Hui say to Murong Yanda: "Tomorrow, I will ask Mr. Zhizhou to scold Qin Ming personally in the city, so that he can only go back to Qingfeng Mountain to fall grass."

Murong Yanda asked: "Professor Qin, if you do what you planned, wouldn't you be really forcing Qin Ming down?"

Qin Hui said with a smile: "Only when Qin Ming is really rebellious, can we hide the Qingfeng Mountain group of thieves! The Huang Dujian of Qingfeng Village is Qin Ming's apprentice. After Qin Ming joins Qingfeng Mountain, he will go to Qingfeng Village to persuade him as Ximen brother said. Huang Xin opened Qingfengzhai. Brother Ximen will take Qin Ming's family to Qingfengzhai tomorrow, and wait for Qin Ming to come. After Qin Ming enters Qingfengzhai, he will tell him the truth. Presumably Qin Ming will take the blame and make meritorious service. Brother Ximen worked together to smash those thieves who followed him to attack Qingfeng Village."

After hearing this, Ximen Qing and the others called for clever ideas.

Murong Yanda sighed and said: "The people here today are not outsiders. I'm the only one who knows about this matter. Don't pass it on to outsiders, so as not to hurt the reputation of the Qin ruler in the future."

Everyone nodded and agreed.Everyone knew in their hearts that although this plan made up for the loopholes in Ximen Qing's original plan, it was also at the cost of Qin Ming's short-term surrender to the thief.Although Qin Ming will come back anyway, to take the blame and make meritorious service.But this is a disgraceful stain after all, and it is difficult to talk about it in front of people.

Murong Yanda said to Ximen Qing: "Ximen brother, I will arrange for you two capable Marquis Yu to take you to see Huang Xin, and then write two letters to Huang Xin and Qin Ming respectively, explaining to them In this matter, I want them to help you break the bandits! This time, I will rely on my virtuous brother to help wipe out Qingfeng Mountain for the people of Qingzhou!"
