Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

After that, the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Army incompetently let the Liangshan bandits enter the city and wiped out Huang Wenbing's family.In the end, the government even failed to protect the hero Huang Wenbing, so he was captured by the robbers and brutally killed.

Chapter 235 Song Jiang's Struggle

When Huang Wenbing was captured by Song Jiang and other Liangshan robbers, he still maintained the integrity of a scholar and court official, not as weak as those officers and officers who later conquered Liangshan, surrendering to the robbers one by one and begging for their lives.At that time, he said this: "The villain knows his mistakes, and he just wants to die early!"

Huang Wenbing's known negligence did not mean that he regretted not reporting Song Jiang, but that he knew that he was wrong in trusting the power of the government, but he did not expect that the dignified government and army could not beat a group of robbers.Because of his own miscalculation, he killed his family, and Huang Wenbing blamed himself for his lack of thoughtfulness.

Everyone said that Huang Wenbing was a villain, and he was nicknamed "Hornet Sting".However, Ximenqing thinks that Huang Wenbing from Jiangzhou, like Liu Gao from Qingzhou, is a positive person who is innocent, loyal to his duties, and does not collude with gangsters and bandits.

Ximen Qing admired Huang Wenbing's resourcefulness and decided to help him once in Jiangzhou, so that Huang Wenbing owed himself a favor.If I have a chance in the future, I can cooperate with this Huang Wenbing, and even attract him to my side.

With Huang Wenbing's talent, it's good to be a counselor for himself in the future.

Ximenqing arranged manpower, while continuing to monitor the movements of Song Jiang and Dai Zong, and on the other hand, paying attention to Huang Wenbing's whereabouts.It seems that in order to satisfy Ximen Qing's wish, history is still moving forward according to its inertia...

There was no need for Ximenqing to push it further. When Huang Wenbing came to Jiangzhou to pay a visit to Cai Jiuzhi, the son of Prime Minister Cai Jing, he went to the Xunyang Tower to have a drink, and keenly discovered the anti-poem written by Song Jiang.

After receiving the news from Xunyang Tower, Ximen Qing breathed a sigh of relief.It seems that the course of history has not changed much, and everything is still under his control.

If that Huang Wenbing didn't go to Xunyang Tower, Ximenqing had to show up in advance and personally invite Huang Wenbing to go to Xunyang Tower for a gathering.

The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Ximenqing has been sold in Jiangzhou, and his reputation has spread among scholars in Jiangnan.As long as Ximenqing announces his name, it is no problem to ask Huang Wenbing, the judge in Xiantong, to go to a restaurant for a drink.

Fortunately, Huang Wenbing still has that restless temperament. He discovered Song Jiang's anti-poetry, and Ximenqing can continue to lurk for a while.

After Huang Wenbing got Song Jiang's anti-poetry, he immediately went to the prefectural government office to visit Cai Jiuzhifu, and presented the anti-poetry to Cai Jiuzhifu, telling him that Song Jiang, who was in the prison camp, had the heart of rebellion.

Prefect Cai Jiu asked Dai Zong to arrest Song Jiang. Dai Zong was originally an errand runner, but he wanted to fight with Huang Wenbing and tried to trick Cai Jiu prefect.

Dai Zong reported to Song Jiang, asking him to pretend to be crazy and foolish, in an attempt to get away with Cai Jiuzhi's prefect.That Song Jiang is also a ruthless person. In order to survive, he lay down and rolled in the pile of excrement and urine, pretending to be a lunatic.

It's a pity that Huang Wenbing saw through Dai Zong and Song Jiang's small tricks at a glance. He asked Cai Jiuzhi to call the people in the prison camp for interrogation to see if Song Jiang was crazy when he arrived in Jiangzhou.

The money that Song Jiang sprinkled out on weekdays was obviously not enough to seal everyone's mouths. The people in the prison camp replied that Song Jiang was quite normal before, but he suddenly went crazy for some reason.

As soon as Cai Jiuzhifu heard it, he knew that Song Jiang was pretending to be crazy and fooling himself.The little thief's army dared to play tricks in front of my magistrate!The magistrate Cai Jiu was furious, and he ordered Song Jiang to be dragged down and beaten severely.

Song Jiang is not a real tough guy, how can he resist beating?At the beginning, he also babbled nonsense for a few times, but he couldn't survive the torture later, so he had to say: "Since I didn't get along and wrote anti-poetry by mistake after drinking, I have no idea."

The magistrate Cai Jiuming took the pleadings and ordered the rebel Song Jiang to use a 25-jin death row shackle, and pushed him into prison for confinement.

Song Jiang was so beaten that his legs could not walk. He was nailed in the hall and sent to the death row.But Dai Zong had to do his best to maintain it, and distributed all the small prisoners to teach him to look down on him.Dai Zong arranged meals for Song Jiang himself, and secretly discussed with Song Jiang how to save him from danger.

After Cai Jiuzhi retired from the hall, he invited Huang Wenbing to the back hall to discuss.Huang Wenbing asked Cai Jiuzhi to write a letter from home and send it back to Cai Jing, the Prime Minister of Bianliang City in Tokyo, to report to Cai Jing, and to ask for instructions on how to deal with the traitor Song Jiang.

Cai Jiuzhi adopted Huang Wenbing's proposal and wrote a letter from home, asking Dai Zong to deliver the letter to Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Then Dai Zong went back to the prison to discuss countermeasures with Song Jiang in secret. After thinking about it, Song Jiang realized that only the heroes on Liangshan were capable of saving him, so he asked Dai Zong to report to Liangshan in Shandong first.

After discussing with Song Jiang, Dai Zong left Jiangzhou and crossed the river to the north. Naturally, this trip was to go to Liangshan, the water park, to report the letter.

As soon as Dai Zong left, Lu Xiaoyi and Shi Yong reported the information they found to Ximen Qing.Ximen Qing knew that Song Jiang had been arrested, and after Dai Zong was ordered to go to Tokyo for business, he knew that the Jiangzhou matter had reached the seventh level. Jiangzhou City is here.It seems that it won't be long before it's time to close the net and catch the big fish.

Taking advantage of Dai Zong's free time in the past few days, Ximen Qing asked the brothers who came with him to relax in Jiangzhou City and recharge their batteries for the upcoming battle.

The Jiang door god Jiang Zhong also took advantage of this leisure time to accept Song Yulian, really a newlywed, very happy.

Ximen Qing, Jiao Ting and other brothers, who had no family members around, could only go to the Goulan Washeri every day to be a romantic groom.

Ximen Qing and the others spent more than ten days happily in Jiangzhou, and finally received the news that Dai Zong had returned to Jiangzhou City.After Ximenqing found out, he immediately cleaned up and set off for the Wuwei Army.

When Dai Zong returned to Jiangzhou, he answered the letter in the hall.Seeing that Dai Zong came back as scheduled, Cai Jiuzhifu was very happy. He first took wine and rewarded him for three minutes, then he took the reply in person and said, "Have you ever seen my grand master?"

Dai Zong reported: "The villain only stayed for one night and then went back. He has never met his kindness."

The magistrate opened the cover and saw the front saying: "Many items in the letter cage have been taken away..." In the middle, he said: "Song Jiang, the demon, I want him to see it today. It can make a solid car and load it. It's close enough to be a person overnight. Xie went to the capital. Along the way, he stopped teaching and lost..." The end of the book says: "Huang Wenbing played the emperor's song sooner or later, so he must have his own teaching."

The magistrate Cai Jiu was overjoyed when he saw it, and rewarded Dai Zong with an ingot of 25 taels of silver;

Dai Zong thanked him, went back to the next place, bought some wine and meat, came to the prison to look at Song Jiang, and said to Song Jiang: "Brother, you can escape from death this time!"

Dai Zong told Song Jiangbei in detail how he rushed to Liangshanbo to see the military adviser Wu Yong for help, how Wu Yong used tricks to make "holy scholar" Xiao Rang and "jade general" Jin Dajian go up the mountain to forge Cai Jing's family letter, and how to ask Cai Jing's family letter in the book. The Jiuzhifu released Song Jiang to Bianliang, Tokyo, and how did Liangshan heroes prepare to rescue Song Jiang by robbing the prison car halfway.

After hearing this, Song Jiang was overjoyed and thanked Dai Zong for his rescue.

Chapter 236 Qin Hui's Contribution

When Dai Zong and Song Jiang succeeded in their tricks in the cell and were celebrating with each other, Ximen Qing had already flown down the river and came to Wuwei Army.

After going into the city to reconcile with Hong Zhenhui, after discussing carefully, Ximenqing prepared a heavy gift, went to the north gate of the Wuwei Army, and paid a special visit to Huang Wenye, the famous "Yellow Face Buddha" who is a great benevolent man.

Huang Wenye is Huang Wenbing's elder brother, and Huang Wenbing is the second son born to one mother.Huang Wenye is a Buddhist believer. He has only done good deeds in his life, repairing bridges and roads, molding Buddhas and worshiping monks, helping the poor and the poor, and he is called "Yellow Face Buddha" in Wuwei Army City.

This Huang Wenye is sincere and kind, and those who help are poor people, unlike Song Jiang who harbors evil intentions, and who often help are heroes and desperadoes in the world.Therefore, Huang Wenye did not have the same reputation as Song Jiang in the Jianghu.

It's a pity that although this Huang Wenye is good in every way, he is also a weak and confused person, he doesn't distinguish between black and white, he only knows how to be alone, and he is not as brave as his younger brother Huang Wenbing.

Huang Wenye heard that when Huang Wenbing helped Cai Jiuzhi to arrest the traitor Song Jiang, he only scolded his brother behind his back, saying: "You did such a short-lived thing again! It has nothing to do with you, why do you want to kill him? If there is a reason At that time, the retribution is only in the present, but it is not a counter-infliction."

According to Huang Wenye's thinking, if Song Jiang wanted to rebel, it was the court's business. As long as the Wuwei army was not attacked and there was no threat to the Huang family, it had nothing to do with the Huang family.

But I don't know if Huang Wenye has ever thought that he can be a good person in this Wuwei Army safely and securely. One is that he has such a large family fortune passed down from his ancestors for him to squander, and the other is that he has a brother who is a judge. Huang Wenbing, no villain would dare to bully his weak personality.

If there were no people in this world like Huang Wenbing who fought bravely against gangsters and gangsters like Huang Wenye, the world would be in chaos and thieves would be rampant.How could Huang Wenye be his great benefactor safely?

Ximen Qing chose to visit this confused "yellow-faced Buddha" first.

It has to be said that the power of culture is still very strong. Ximen Qing, who published "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" when the manuscript was published, has accumulated a lot of reputation among many scholars.

The "yellow-faced Buddha" Huang Wenye is also a scholar, and he has also heard the name of Ximen Qing, a hermit in Yanggu County, Shandong Province.So when he heard that Ximen Qing was visiting, he hurriedly welcomed Ximen Qing into the mansion, so that he could entertain him.

Ximenqing told Huang Wenye that he is also a helper and rescues the poor. The herbal medicine shop in his family gives soup and medicine to the poor in the county all the year round.This time I came to the south of the Yangtze River to play, and I passed by the Wuwei Army. I heard that there is also a good man here, and the world respects him as the "Yellow Face Buddha".I heard it myself, and I admire Huang Wenye very much, so I came here to pay a visit, just for a meeting.

Huang Wenye was very happy when Ximen Qing talked about his pride.He heard that Ximen Qing was also a benevolent person, so he felt a little closer to him.

After having a chat with Ximen Qing, Huang Wenye had the intention of seeing each other later, so he asked Ximen Qing to rest at the mansion, and planned to prepare a sumptuous welcome dinner for Ximen Qing.

Huang Wenbing was sitting at home that day, and heard that his brother Huang Wenye's family next door slaughtered pigs and sheep, and held a big banquet. He was curious in his heart, and when he wanted to go check it out, Huang Wenye had already sent someone to invite him.

The servant who came told Huang Wenbing that a distinguished guest had come to the high official's family, that is, the official Ximen Qing who wrote "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the high official invited him to go to the mansion to meet with the distinguished guest.

When Huang Wenbing heard that Ximen Qing from Yanggu County, Shandong Province had come, he was overjoyed, and immediately got up to go to his brother's residence for a banquet.Although the two brothers separated, they both lived in the same alley with only a vegetable garden in between, so Huang Wenbing walked into Huang Wenye's house very quickly.

It turns out that Huang Wenbing's favorite book in his spare time is "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Ximen Qing. Now that he heard that Ximen Qing has come to the Wuwei Army, how can he not be overjoyed?

Ximen Qing was sitting in the hall with Huang Wenye having tea and chatting, when he saw a thin scribe walking into the hall.The scribe's face was somewhat similar to Huang Wenye's, and Ximen Qing had secretly seen Huang Wenbing's appearance when he came to Wuwei Army last time, so Ximen Qing immediately recognized Huang Wenbing.

"Brother, is this guest from Ximen Qing, an official from Yanggu County, Shandong?" Huang Wenbing also saw the extraordinary appearance of Ximen Qing, and hurriedly asked Huang Wenye.
