Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

It was only at the time of the first watch shift, and Zhu Tong carried the small yamen on his shoulders, watched it once in the Dizang Temple, and then came to the release pool of Shuilu Hall to watch the lanterns.

The release pool is dotted with river lanterns, which are filled with people's thoughts and blessings, which is really beautiful.The little yamen excitedly climbed on the railing by the pool, looked at it and laughed.Zhu Ting clings to the small yamen, protecting his safety.

At this moment, someone from behind suddenly pulled Zhu's sleeve and said to him, "Brother, let me take a step to speak."

When Zhu Tong looked back, he was surprised that it turned out to be Lei Heng, the murderer he let go.

Lei Heng is a murder fugitive wanted by the government, and he went to Liangshan to become a robber. How dare Zhu Dian talk to him in this crowded place?Impatient, Zhu Tong didn't think much about it, so he said to Xiao Ya Nei: "Little Ya Nei, come down and sit here. I'll buy sugar to eat with you, don't move around."

Xiao Ya Nei obediently climbed down from the railing, sat there and said with a smile, "Come here quickly, I have to go to the bridge to see the river lantern."

Zhu Dian said: "I'll come." Turning around and walking away to talk to Lei Heng.Zhu Ting pulled Lei Heng and asked anxiously, "Why did you come here?"

Lei Heng pulled Zhu Dian to a secluded place, and said to Zhu Dian: "Since my elder brother saved his life and had nowhere to return to with my old mother, I had to go to Liangshanbo and join Brother Song Gongming. Brother Song Gongming also thought that my brother would let him go in the past. Chao Tianwang and all the leaders are also very grateful for your kindness, so they specially instructed Wu Junshi and his brothers to come and visit."

I saved Lei Heng, it would be reasonable to say that he took the risk of traveling so many distances to visit me.But why did Wu Yong, a military adviser in Liangshanbo, travel thousands of miles to risk himself?Zhu Tong was puzzled, and asked Lei Heng, "Where did you see Mr. Wu?"

Wu Yong, who was hiding in the dark, stepped out and replied, "Dear brother, Wu Yong is here." After saying that, he bowed.

Zhu Dian hurriedly replied: "I haven't seen you for a long time, sir is always at ease? How dare Zhu Dian work hard, sir."

Wu Yong said: "All the leaders in the village pay their respects. Today, I will teach Wu Yong and Lei Dutou to invite you to come up the mountain and gather together for righteousness. Wu Yong has been here for many days and dare not see each other. I can serve you tonight, my dear brother." Then move your respectful steps and go to the mountain village together, in the intention of Man Chao and Song Ergong."

Lei Heng just didn't say anything clearly, but Wu Yong said it all. Chao Gai and Song Jiang fell in love with Zhu Dian and asked him to go up the mountain to be a robber.

What is the meaning of Yiman Chao and Song Ergong?That is to say, Chao Gai and Song Jiang, the two bosses of the underworld, saw that your bones were so strange that you were expected to be a bandit, and they gave you a promising career as a bandit.Zhu Tong, don't be ignorant of good and bad, and don't give face to the two mafia bosses.

Wu Yong's words were soft but hard, already implying threats.

Chapter 387 Xiao Ya Nei is Missing

Zhu Dian's family is a big family in Yuncheng County, with a lot of money, and they live comfortably!Although he was dispatched to Cangzhou because of the private release of Lei Heng, it is hard to know that the governor of the government valued him and regarded him as his confidant. Zhu Dian's future is still worry-free.Under such circumstances, Zhu Tian didn't have any thief's bones on his body, so how could he be willing to go to Liangshan to become a robber?Zhu Dian could understand the meaning of Wu Yong's words.Zhu Tian was already a little angry in his heart, but because of his loyalty and inconvenience, he couldn't agree for a long time.

Seeing Wu Yong and Lei Heng staring at him unwillingly, Zhu Dian suppressed his unhappiness, and said to Wu Yong, "Sir, you're so bad! Don't talk about this, I'm afraid it won't be listened to by outsiders. Brother Lei Heng, he committed a crime of his own accord." I let him go because of my loyalty, he was not able to get ahead, he went up the mountain to join the group, I am worthy of him here. God is sorry, after a year and a half, I struggled to return to my hometown and become a good citizen, but how could I be willing to do such a thing? The matter? The two of you can please come back, don’t make trouble here.”

Zhu Ting's reply to Wu Yongzhi's words is also soft but strong, and he expresses his heart decisively, and he refuses to go to Liangshan to be a robber.If Wu Yong and Lei Heng still refuse to give up, I'm afraid there will be an embarrassment for everyone.

Of course Wu Yong knew that Zhu Dian could not be moved by words, otherwise, he would not have lured Zhu Dian away with Lei Heng, and asked Ma Lin to harm the little yamen.At this time, in order to delay Ma Lin's success, Wu Yong gave Lei Heng a wink and asked him to continue pestering him.

When Lei Heng saw it, he began to persuade him: "Brother is here, nothing more than serving others under others, not a manly job. It's not that the younger brother entangled and went up the mountain, Duan Chao and Song Ergong looked up to the elder brother for a long time, so it was too late."

Zhu Ting said angrily: "Brother, what kind of words are you talking about! You don't want to, I let you go because of your mother's hometown, and today you come and trap me for injustice!"

Zhu Ting's words almost pointed at Lei Heng's nose and cursed.At the beginning, Zhu Dianhao was in prison in Yuncheng County, his family was rich, and the county magistrate took a fancy to him. How comfortable he lived!Just to pity Lei Heng if he was sentenced to death and his mother had no one to take care of him, he was willing to take the risk and let Lei Heng go, so he was convicted and sent here.Zhu Ting's kindness to Lei Heng is not insignificant, and Lei Heng didn't want to repay him, but came to force him to join him as a bandit, which is really ungrateful.

Zhu Ting's words were all right, and Lei Heng's skin became dry and speechless, so he could only look at the military adviser Wu Yong.

Wu Yong reckoned that Ma Lin had succeeded and could take the next step, so he said, "Since everyone refuses to go, we will resign, and we will retire."

Zhu Dian said: "Call me a humble name, and I will overwhelm all the leaders." Zhu Dian said concisely, which was a straightforward rejection of the invitation of Liangshan heroes including Chao Gai and Song Jiang.

Wu Yong and Lei Heng didn't say a word, and accompanied Zhu Dian back to the bridge.When Zhu Tong came back, he disappeared from the small yamen, crying bitterly, and had no way to find him.

Lei Heng grabbed Zhu Dian and said, "Brother, don't look for it, no matter it's the two companions I brought. When I heard that my brother refused to go, so I hugged Xiao Ya Nei instead. Let's go look for it together."

Zhu Tong was shocked when he heard this.How could he not know what these brothers on Liangshan used to do on weekdays!At this time, Zhu Tong was held by Wu Yong and Lei Heng. He was afraid that they would harm the small yamen, so he didn't dare to attack, so he had to ask softly: "Brother, it's not for fun! If there is something good or bad in this small yamen, the magistrate's life will be killed." I will rest too!"

Lei Heng said: "Brother, don't worry, just follow me." After saying that, he left side by side with Wu Yong.

Zhu Dian had no choice but to swallow his anger and follow Lei Heng and Wu Yong. The three left Ksitigarbha Temple and walked out of the city all the way.

Heideng chased him blindly for a while, but there was no one in front of him. Zhu Dian became more flustered, and asked, "Where is your companion?"

Lei Heng said: "Brother, come to my place. I will return it to your little yamen."

Zhu Dian said: "When it's late, I'm afraid the magistrate will be offended."

Wu Yong listened to Zhu Dian's words and knew that he had lost his sense of proportion, so he couldn't help but secretly complacent.This time, although Chao Gai and Song Jiang proposed to invite Zhu Dian to go to the mountain to gather together, and Song Jiang planned to use all means to earn Zhu Dian to go to the mountain, but the real on-the-spot plan was fully controlled by Wu Yong.

After all, no matter how treacherous and shameless Song Jiang was, he who was far away in Liangshan didn't know that Zhu Dian was trusted by the magistrate's family in Cangzhou, and asked him to take Xiao Ya Nei out to play on the street from time to time.Wu Yong also came to Cangzhou, and after hiding in the dark and seeing this scene, he made a poisonous plan to let Ma Lin kill Xiao Ya Nei, leaving Zhu Dian desperate, and had to go back to Liangshan with himself.

Seeing that his poisonous plan had worked, and Zhu Dian had been led by him, Wu Yong was quite proud.Of course, when Zhu Ting was led to the woods by himself and found that Xiao Ya Nei had been killed, Wu Yong would also put this "credit" on Song Jiang's head, saying that it was Song Jiang's brother's order.If Zhu Ting wants to blame, then blame Song Jiang, but don't blame me as a military adviser!

Wu Yong said to Zhu Dian relaxedly: "The two companions I brought must not know each other, and they must have hugged us all the way."

Zhu Ting asked, "Who is your partner's name?"

Lei Heng replied: "It's also a brother from Liangshan, named 'Iron Flute Immortal' Ma Lin, who was originally the third head of Huangmen Mountain, and he likes killing people the most in his life."

When Zhu Tong heard this, he stumbled and complained, and hurried away.

At this time, at the edge of a forest about twenty miles away from the city, "Iron Flute Fairy" Ma Lin put the small yamen on his shoulders under a big tree, looked back at the way he came, and kept panting. gas.

Ma Lin couldn't understand why Wu Yong, the military adviser, didn't let him go out of the city and hacked the small yamen to death, but why he wanted to take him all the way to the woods so far away.Even this piece of grass was personally selected by Wu Yong, the military adviser yesterday, and asked him to kill Xiao Ya Nei when he got here, waiting for Wu Yong and Lei Heng.

The military adviser said that this was to lure Zhu Ting to the mansion of Chai Daguan, but Ma Lin still couldn't figure it out.Why not just choose a secluded place outside the city and cut down the small yamen?At worst, after Zhu Dian chased him out of the city, he joined forces with Lei Heng to defeat him, tied him up and escorted him back to Liangshan.If that Zhu Tong didn't know how to be smart, the master cut off his dog's head with a knife!Ask him if he is afraid or not?

Although Ma Lin didn't understand Wu Yong's intentions, he still faithfully carried out Wu Yong's plan. He stunned the small Yamen by the release pool of Shuilutang and brought him to the woods.The next step is to kill the little yamen, wait for Zhu Tong to chase him, and then stimulate him to chase him, and lead him to the Chai Daguan's mansion in front of him according to the plan of the military division.

Ma Lin recalled Wu Yong's instructions, and after confirming that he remembered correctly, he pulled out the knife from his waist and was about to turn around and kill the little yamen.

But when Ma Lin turned around, he was stunned for a moment. There was nothing under the big tree. Where could there be a small yamen?

Chapter 388 This Is Not Wu Yong's Script

Are there ghosts here?No, there are people here!

As a murderous bandit leader, Ma Lin doesn't really believe in ghosts and gods. When he found out that the small yamen he had captured was missing, he immediately pulled out his two knives and shouted to the woods: "Where did you come from, the bird thief, who dares to steal?" The licensed goods in the hands of the master will spoil the matter of my Liangshan hero?"

"Bah! You villains who murder women and children are worthy of being called heroes? The master has dedicated his life to killing Liangshan dog thieves. What do you do with Ma Lin?" There was a scolding from the woods, and Ximen Qing also came from behind a big tree with two knives. Appeared, bathed in silvery moonlight, walked to the grass.

"You bird...you? It's you!" After seeing Ximen Qing's appearance clearly through the moonlight, Ma Lin was so frightened that he lost all fighting spirit and turned around to run away.

It turns out that this is not the first time Ma Lin and Ximen Qing have met each other.When the two armies fought in Dulonggang, Ma Lin was injured by Luan Tingyu who was beside Ximenqing, and he still remembers Ximenqing who led the army to defeat the Liangshan army.

Seeing Ximen Qing at this time, Ma Lin immediately thought of Luan Tingyu, the brave general beside him. The healed wounds on his body were painful, and he didn't want to stay here for a moment.

What kind of small yamen, what kind of military strategist's tricks, throw them away, the most important thing is to save your life first.

Ma Lin wanted to leave at this time, but it was too late. When he turned around, he realized that he had been surrounded silently.

At the same time as Ximen Qing appeared, Jiao Ting, Hong Zhen and Brother Qiao Yun also led people to surround him from three directions, blocking Ma Lin's retreat.

In the past few days, Wu Yong, Lei Heng, and Ma Lin surveyed the terrain and selected this forest as a place to kill, all of which were under the surveillance and control of Ximen Qing and the others.

Because of this, Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting, who knew that Wu Yong would use the Zhongyuan Festival to strike today, lay in ambush in the woods and waited for the rabbit.Brother Qiao Yun and Hong Zhen worked hard and followed Ma Lin from the Dizang Temple in Cangzhou City to avoid accidents on the way.

At this time, all three sides were blocked, only Ximenqing was alone, and it seemed that he could charge out with all his strength.
