Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

After the five Ximenqing divided up the loot, they left the Juyi Hall.Huang Xin raised his sword and cut off the heads of the dozen or so useless robbers who were tied under the general's pillar.Now only the head is still useful, and it can be brought back to Qingzhou City to count military merits.

Everyone ordered their soldiers and horses together, took the seized supplies out of the stronghold, and went down the mountain.After Shi Yong led more than a dozen people, he burned the village of Qingfeng Mountain to nothingness.

Pillars of smoke shot up into the sky, Ximenqing, Qin Ming and others went down Qingfeng Mountain with drums and gongs all the way, heading straight for Qingfeng Town, and announced to the people along the way that the army had conquered Qingfeng Mountain and returned victorious.

In Qingfeng Village, the fire and smoke on Qingfeng Mountain were also seen from a distance. Everyone excitedly said that the bandits on the mountain were wiped out.

Liu Gao's wife also happily came to the gate of the village, waiting eagerly for Ximen to celebrate their victory and return to the teacher.

Chapter 199

"Madam, you should go back to the mansion to rest first! It will take an hour for the officers and soldiers to come back to Qingfeng Village from Qingfeng Mountain. It is windy outside this village, Madam must take care of yourself! The little ones Wait here, and report to Madam after seeing the officers and soldiers." The maids and servants around Madam Liu Gao saw her standing outside the gate against the cold wind, and urged her to enter the village to rest and shelter from the wind.

"Husband is coming back soon, I have to wait for him here! I want to wait for him here! He must be back." Mrs. Liu Gao said excitedly to herself, she refused to go back to the house no matter what.

The servants had no choice but to temporarily pull up a curtain outside the gate of the village to shield Mrs. Liu Gao from the cold wind.

Mrs. Liu Gao looked at the busy servants, and suddenly remembered something, and said to the maid beside her, "Hurry up and go back to the house, and let Xianggong cook some good ginseng soup in the kitchen! Make another table His favorite meal! Mr. Xiang suffered a lot on the mountain this time, so he must make up for it when he comes back!"

After hearing this, the maid didn't dare to delay, and trotted all the way into the village.

……

Ximen Qing was still thinking about Song Jiang while riding his horse down the mountain.At this time, Song Jiang had not yet gone to Liangshan, and it was a time when he was weak.If he wanted to take his life, it would be most appropriate to arrange for someone to go to Yuncheng County now.

However, although that guy Song Jiang is hateful, it doesn't make much sense to just kill him like this.This guy can't secure the country with literature, and can't rule the country with martial arts. What he can do is black-faced and cruel-hearted, with a bad belly, and a reputation for attracting the scum of the rivers and lakes.How can I use this guy's reputation for me?Ximen Qing fell into deep thought.

"Brother, you won a complete victory in the conquest of Qingfeng Mountain this time, why are you frowning, but what's on your mind?" Shi Yong leaned over on his horse and asked Ximen Qing in a low voice.

Ximen Qing glanced at Shi Yong, then at the two big bags that Shi Yong was fastening, and made up his mind.

Damn, why didn't I expect that Song Jiang is a boy who spreads money!If he didn't make trouble in Qingfeng Mountain, how could I have the opportunity to show my face to Murong Yanda, get his respect, and be able to lead the army to destroy Qingfeng Mountain?If I don't come to destroy Qingfeng Mountain, how can I have the chance to get the fifteen carts of gold and silver treasures?

It seems that I have to try my best to let Song Jiang go to Jiangzhou according to the original historical process, use him to attract those gangsters in Jiangzhou together, and then try to catch them all.

Those scumbags in Jiangzhou are all local tyrants except for one poor guy, Li Kui. Which one hasn't accumulated a lot of money?These ill-gotten gains are wasted in the hands of Li Jun, Mu Hong and others, and should be taken by me, Ximen Qing.They robbed their money, but they were able to build a lot of weapons and raise a lot of soldiers!

Now Song Jiang doesn't know that I, the senior officials of Ximen Qing, know their details and can predict their actions.Song Jiang is in the light, and I, Ximen Qing, are in the dark. If you don't seize the opportunity to cheat him, when will you wait?

Compared with the benefits that can be gained from killing Jiangzhou's gang of robbers and gangsters, killing Song Jiang alone now is simply worthless. I, a senior official in Ximen, can't do this kind of loss-making business!

I have to find a way to let Song Jiang be dispatched to Jiangzhou according to the original process of history!Well, first of all, it must be ensured that Song Jiang will be arrested when he returns to Songjiazhuang, Yuncheng County, and he cannot be allowed to go to other places safely.

Ximen Qing thought about it, decided to go back to Qingfeng Village, and arranged for Shi Yong to rush to Yuncheng County at night to report to the brothers Zhao Neng and Zhao De, the head of Xindu, that the fugitive Song Jiang would return to Songjiazhuang in the near future.For the rest of arresting Song Jiang, the brothers Zhao Neng and Zhao De, who are loyal to their duties and do not collude with the underworld, will do it well.

……

"Brother, Qingfeng Village is here!" Shi Yong said beside Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing raised his eyes and saw the wall of Qingfeng Village.The gate of the village was wide open, the suspension bridge had already been put down, and the soldiers guarding the village were lining up outside the suspension bridge in two rows, cheering to welcome Ximen Qing and their triumphant return.

In front of the welcoming team, stood two people, Jiao Ting and Xin Zan who stayed behind.

In front of Jiao Ting and Xin Zan, there were still a few people waiting eagerly.Ximen Qing looked carefully, and saw that standing in the front was a woman in full dress.That person seems to be Zhizhai Liu Gao's wife?

Ximen Qing was not mistaken, the person standing at the front and waiting anxiously was Mrs. Liu Gao.

Mrs. Liu Gao stood in front of the crowd, looking with some anticipation and some apprehension at the army of officers and soldiers approaching slowly in single file under the setting sun.She tried her best to keep her eyes wide open, looking for her husband in the crowd.

However, when the team gradually approached and Mrs. Liu Gao saw clearly Ximen Qing, Qin Ming and others riding on horseback, her face suddenly turned pale.Because among the few people leading the horse riding, there is no husband Liu Gao!

Mrs. Liu Gao was flustered, and ran forward staggeringly. While running, she nervously checked whether the injured person was being carried in the team.

The maids and servants of Liu Gao's mansion hurriedly chased after her, repeatedly calling Madam to be careful.

Ximen Qing, Qin Ming and Huang Xin all saw Mrs. Liu Gao running.They looked at each other and understood what Mrs. Liu Gao was looking for.

Huang Xin, Qin Ming and that Liu Gao were colleagues, and felt guilty towards Liu Gao about the Qingfengshan matter, seeing Mrs. Liu Gao running over, they hurriedly jumped off their horses to meet her.

Ximen Qing couldn't bear it, so he reined in his horse, and Luan Tingyu and Shi Yong watched from a distance.

Huang Xin walked forward and said something to Mrs. Liu Gao, then Mrs. Liu Gao collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Several maids and servants who followed Mrs. Liu Gao hurriedly helped her up, found a soft sedan chair and hurriedly carried her back to Qingfeng Village.

This woman is also a poor person!Ximen Qing thought to himself.

Xin Zan and Jiao Ting also saw this scene, they stepped forward to join Ximen Qing and the others, and after learning about Liu Gao from the crowd, they also sighed endlessly.

Xin Zan told Ximen Qing and others that he had sent someone to search the captives in Qingfeng Mountain, and found a letter written to Chao Gai, the leader of the bandits in Liangshan, on Huarong's body. The content of the letter was Song Jiang's recommendation The thieves from Qingfeng Mountain went to Liangshan, the water park, to join the gang.

After hearing Xin Zan's words, Qin Ming, Huang Xin and others knew why the Qingfeng Mountain bandits packed up their belongings and loaded them into cars on the mountain.

Ximenqing and the others entered Qingfengzhai, and went directly to the Dazhai public hall, ignoring the cheering crowd on the side of the road.There, three people including Hua Rong were still detained, waiting for Ximen Qing, Qin Ming and others to come back for interrogation.

After everyone entered the public hall and took their seats, Ximen Qing handed over the interrogation and disposal of the Qingfeng Mountain bandits to Qin Ming and Huang Xin.

Qin Ming's heart was on fire, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to bring the three thieves, Hua Rong, Yan Shun and Wang Ying, first to kill them with fifty army sticks.

Chapter 200 Killing a Fuck

In the Dazhai Hall of Qingfengzhai, after the three of Huarong were escorted up, Yanshun and Wang Ying still put on a look of heroes in the world, struggling there, scolding the dog officer, calling Qin Ming a treacherous villain .Only Huarong stood there silently, not saying a word.

Qin Ming smashed Hua Rong's arm with a mace, making it impossible for him to draw a bow and shoot arrows. The former "Little Li Guang" was completely useless.Hua Rong's heart was ashamed, knowing that there was no chance of escape this time, she remained silent and stood there like a dead person.

Hearing that Yanshun and Wang Ying dared to expose his scars, Qin Ming felt agitated. He pointed at the three men on the steps and shouted to the soldiers on both sides: "Hit me hard! I can see the bones of these three thieves." How hard!"

After the soldiers on both sides got the order, they rushed forward like wolves and tigers, kicked the three of Hua Rong to the ground and pinned them down.Six strong men beat the three of them with military sticks "crackling".

Yanshun and Wang Ying's thieves' bones were obviously not strong enough. The soldiers only beat them with more than [-] sticks, and the two of them couldn't stand the beatings, and they lay on the ground and begged for mercy.In contrast, Hua Rong was tougher than the two bandit leaders. Although his back had been beaten to pieces, he still gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Seeing Yanshun and Wang Ying begging for mercy, Ximenqing hurriedly stopped the soldier who was still beating people hard.After all, how Song Jiang left, how he recommended them to join Liangshan, how they killed Zhizhai Liu Gao on the mountain, and how many evil things they did on weekdays, still need the two of them to personally explain and sign.

Although Qin Ming fought hard, Ximen Qing didn't want these cannibals to be beaten to death just like that, it would be too cheap for them.

Under cross-examination by everyone, Yanshun and Wang Ying confessed to each of their evil deeds and signed their signatures.Although Hua Rong didn't say a word, he didn't deny and refute the crimes accused by everyone, and silently signed and stamped the confession document, and pressed his fingerprints.

Huang Xin read Wang Ying's confession, which recorded in detail how the thieves in Qingfeng Mountain that Wang Ying confessed to killed Liu Gao and shared his flesh, and how he kept Liu Gao's bones in his house, preparing to kill Liu Gao. When the lady caught her up the mountain to defile, she took it out and tortured Mrs. Liu Gao.

After reading the confession, Huang Xin was furious. He drew out his sword and was about to chop Wang Ying, a shameless person, alive.Ximen Qing held Huang Xin by the side, and whispered in his ear: "Huang Dujian, killing this villain with one sword, wouldn't it have fulfilled him instead? Don't these robbers in Qingfeng Mountain like to eat human flesh? Like this kind of villain He should be escorted back to Qingzhou City to be punished, cut him alive at Caishikou, and let him taste what it feels like to be cut!"

Hearing this, Huang Xin suppressed his anger, looked at Hua Rong and the others with a sneer, and said to Ximen Qing: "That's right, all three of them should be escorted back to Qingzhou City to be cut alive! Then what about those bandits outside?"

Ximen Qing said to Huang Xin: "I think we only need to escort the chief criminal back to Qingzhou City, and let Qin Tongzhi and Huang Dujian deal with the rest of the people here!"

Qin Ming heard the words and said: "Okay! Come on, someone, take these three thieves and put them in the death row car for safekeeping. Huang Dujian, you and my brother go!"

Qin Ming's personal soldiers dragged the three of Hua Rong down, while Qin Ming and Huang Xin left the court in a murderous manner.
