After the government sent troops to suppress the water bandits on the Xunyang River, Jiangzhou City, as a large southern city port with convenient water and land, has long been lively again, and the flow of cars, horses and people is endless. Even now, the Lantern Festival has just passed, and the merchants are already busy making a living, and thousands of boats, horses, and pedestrians enter and leave the city gate every day.

As a result, many people from the three religions and nine streams also came to Jiangzhou, which allowed the people of Liangshan who came in disguise to easily blend into the city. Among them, Chao Gai and several other main leaders even dressed up as vendors and checked into the Ping'an Inn early in the morning, and met with Hua Rong, who entered the city first.

After listening to his detailed report, Chao Gai's face suddenly became cloudy, and he blamed himself again and again: "It's because we didn't act carefully enough, which led to the revelation of the matter, but also harmed the Dai Zong brothers." ”

Hua Rong then frowned and said, "Later, that Sun Tuanlian called someone to send a message to me and others, saying that he had a way to help us rescue Brother Gongming, but he just asked us to help hide a letter in the mansion of Yuan Tuiguan in this city." Although the younger brother did what he said, he still had doubts about it, was that Sun Tuanlian really credible? ”

Chao Gai smiled freely: "That Sun Tuan Lian Sun Tu also had a friendship with me, and he even rescued me at the beginning, he is a good man." Since he helped us rescue Song Gongming early on, he wouldn't have gone back on his word and harmed us. And judging from the previous situation, the reason why Brother Dai Zong went on a business trip was because Yuan Wang was in the middle of the bad thing, so he was in a hurry to get rid of this person first. ”

Hua Rong nodded: "Since you believe in him so much, brother, then my brothers will naturally not have any doubts." It's just that now that the government has posted a notice, it will ask the two brothers of Gongming at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, but what should we do? If we really rob the Dharma Field, do we really have enough manpower? Presumably, the government should have taken precautions by now. ”

Chao Gai was slightly stunned, but still spoke: "This time, except for a few brothers who were left in the cottage by me, other good players have already come to Jiangzhou with me. Although the pace of everyone is fast and slow, I believe that by noon tomorrow, everyone will be there. Our nearly 200 brothers are of one heart, and we will definitely be able to save Song Gongming from the hands of the government. ”

Liu Tang, San Ruan and the others who were following him all nodded approvingly: "Yes, as long as our brothers work together, these Jiangzhou officers and soldiers will be vulnerable at all." ”

"What's more, we still have Brother Sun Tu, presumably he will definitely help us rescue Song Gongming in secret." Chao Gai added confidently. He is the most righteous person, and he also believes that the people he befriends are all righteous people: "What we need to do now is to grasp more about the situation around the Dharma field, so that we can get out smoothly after saving Song Gongming; The second is to rest well, nourish enough spirits, and only tomorrow can people be rescued. ”

All the brothers hugged their fists in agreement and agreed in unison. Then they dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.

But Chao Gai did not rest like them, but continued to sit in the room for half the night, until the third watch day later, when it was confirmed that Sun Tu would not come again, he fell asleep a little disappointed. He thought that Sun Tu should secretly come to see him tonight, so that the two sides could cooperate more to rescue Song Jiang.

He didn't know that Sun Tu was almost unable to protect himself at this time, how could he dare to venture to meet him at the inn. Although he also didn't go to bed early, in order to prove his innocence, he didn't even take half a step out of the state yamen in the past two days, but only met Yang Zhi, who came on purpose.

"You are taking too much risk in the group training, why bother to risk your future and even your life for a Song Jiang!" When there were only two of them in the room, Yang Zhi lowered his voice and complained with some fear.

Compared with Luda's open-mindedness, Yang Zhi's mind is obviously heavier. So in addition to his concern for Sun Tu, he also has a trace of dissatisfaction, after all, his future has long been closely linked to Sun Tu, once Sun Tu has anything to do, I am afraid that he Yang Zhi will also be implicated.

Sun Tu smiled apologetically: "I am indeed a little careless about this matter." I thought that everything was in my control, and it was impossible to make any mistakes, but I was almost caught by Yuan Wang. After this incident, he has already reflected on it, and knows that it is better not to have too much to do with Liang Shanbo's people in the future in his own capacity.

But there must be a beginning and an end to doing things, otherwise there will only be no people inside and out, so he said: "But this time, since we have decided to help them rescue Song Jiang, we must finish the matter." You go to the Peace Inn early tomorrow morning and let them ......," he said, whispering his plan.

But Yang Zhi's face changed when he heard it: "Tuan Lian, it's too risky for you to do this, once they miss and fall into the hands of the government and explain everything, you can ......."

"You can do as I say, and don't worry about the rest. After all, I was able to get rid of suspicion this time, and they also made a lot of efforts, and this favor must be returned to them. And I believe that with their ability, they will definitely be able to calmly leave Jiangzhou after saving people without our township soldiers intervening in the battle. Sun Tu waved his hand and said.

Seeing that Sun Tu had already made up his mind, Yang Zhi couldn't persuade him more, so he could only agree with his hands: "It's the lowly job to receive the order." I only hope that those Liangshan thieves can really be as powerful as Tuan Lian said. Then, with a hint of unease, he left.

Sun Tu couldn't sleep peacefully after all, and after tossing and turning for half a night, he got up when there was just a hint of fish belly white in the sky.

Today's state government also rushed over early because of the execution of key criminals, so the sky was just dawning, and the yamen was already a little noisy, and there were constantly officers and soldiers running around to arrange something, and when Sun Tu came to Cai Jiu, he had already arranged everything, and when he saw him coming, he smiled and said: "It seems that Qianli didn't rest last night." ”

"Although the lower official believes that his judgment will not be wrong, after all, it is related to the future of the lower official, so naturally he can't feel at ease." After Sun Tu bowed, he said with some concern: "Taishou, if the subordinates expect it to be correct, there will be a shocking change on the court today, for the sake of safety, it is better for Taishou to stay in the yamen, and it is ...... to let others go to the prison to behead."

Cai Jiu waved his hand disapplausively: "It's just a few thieves, can they really turn the sky upside down?" As the Taishou of Jiangzhou, if he doesn't even have this responsibility, how will he serve the public in the future? What's more, isn't there still you by the side of this official, with Sun Tuanlian's skills, you will definitely be able to protect me! ”

"The lower officials should do their best to protect the safety of Taishou!" Sun Tu hurriedly said: "In addition, as long as there is any change in the city, the township soldiers under the command of Xia Guan will arrive as soon as possible, so that they can take down all the Liangshan thieves!" ”

"Not much, this time the official wants not only the head of the traitor Song Jiang, but also those Liangshan thieves alive!" Cai Jiushen nodded approvingly. He remembered the robbery of the Birthday Gang that happened last year, these thieves robbed his father's belongings and were able to get away with it until today, and he couldn't let them get out this time.

After a few words of gossip, the hour was not early. As a supervisor and beheader, Cai Taishou always had to arrive earlier, so as to educate the people under his rule, so he gave an order and took Sun Tu and others to the cross street only two streets away from the state government, which was the place where Song Jiang and Dai Zong were to be beheaded today.

In fact, the relevant main owner has not yet appeared, and all kinds of people have gathered around the Cross Street Law Field, blocking the originally spacious street.

At this time, ordinary people did not have any decent entertainment, and it was already a rare topic to behead prisoners in public like this. Moreover, the time of this execution is different from usual, and the identity of the prisoner is so special, it is naturally easier to attract hundreds of people to watch here.

Thousands of spectators gathered around the erected platform, and there was only a cacophony of conversation, and some people began to spread false rumors about the crimes of the two condemned prisoners.

"That Song Jiang was originally a thief with an army, I heard that he was convicted of murder when he was in Shandong, but when he arrived in Jiangzhou, he wrote anti-poems in public. And that Dai Zong, as a court official, actually colluded with such a thief and wanted to save him, which is really unbelievable. ”

"I heard that if it weren't for our Cai Taishou being wise enough this time, he would have fallen for the way of thieves......"

All kinds of statements were different, and they continued to enter the ears of the people in Liangshan who were mixed into the crowd, making their hearts angry, and their expressions became more and more gloomy.

When Cai Jiu and the others came to the Dharma field, Taishou sat on it and began to preach the majesty of the law to the people, these people stared at him with murderous eyes, looking like they wanted to eat him.

At this time, in a two-story restaurant on the edge of the law field, in a private room facing the street, several men were nervously looking down, it was Li Jun, Zhang Shun, Li Kui and others. These people have already hidden all kinds of weapons, and they are all ready to attack at this time, especially Li Kui, who held the two big axes tightly in his hands, and his body curled up slightly, like a leopard about to hunt, staring at Song Jiang and Dai Zong, who had just been brought out of the stage and were dejected: "Brother Zhang Shun, when will we start?" ”

"Wait." It was Li Jun who answered him, only to see him squint his eyes and say, "At present, there are already many people in the crowd who think the same way as us. So we could have cooperated with them! ”

At this time, the sun had gradually climbed to the top of everyone's heads, and as it was confirmed that it had arrived at three o'clock in the afternoon, Cai Jiu, as the supervisor of the beheading, finally hooked the pen in his hand and threw out the sign with the word "chop" written on it, and shouted loudly: "Verify the prisoner's body, behead!" ”
