Chapter 241: Change in the Middle of the New Year (Part II)
When Sun Tu and the two galloped all the way to Xunyang Tower, it was dusk when the sun was sinking in the west. Originally, this was supposed to be the time when the business in the restaurant was the best and the guests were full, but now many guests who came here to drink and eat could only wait outside the building, looking curiously at the door, because there were twenty or thirty officers and soldiers surrounded in front of the restaurant, and they looked like they wanted to seal the building and search.
When Sun Tu saw this scene, he chuckled in his heart, because he had already recognized that these soldiers surrounding Xunyang Tower were the state guards, which meant that this action was ordered by Taishou and other officials. He did not dare to slack off, so he quickly dismounted and strode forward, waving at a soldier who was still driving away the drinkers. The soldier naturally recognized Sun Tuanlian, and when he saw him beckoning, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Sun Tuanlian, are you also here to drink?" It's not a coincidence, we are ordered by Taishou to extract evidence of someone plotting in this restaurant......"
"Someone is trying to do something wrong in my Jiangzhou? How could the magistrate not know about this? What happened, you can tell me in detail. Sun Tu's heart sank even more, but he asked with a serious look on his face.
This soldier didn't suspect that there was anything wrong with Sun Tu, and immediately told him what he knew. It turned out that at the same time that Huang Wenbing went to find Sun Tujinyan, a friend who was drinking at the same table with him also discovered the anti-poem inscribed by Song Jiang, and then he opened his voice, and happened to be heard by a state government scribe who came to drink here, and quickly ran back to the Yamen newspaper and Yuan Wang, the official of the promotion.
Yuan Tuiguan is much more secure now, even if he knows that there is such a thing, he doesn't dare to make his own opinion, and immediately went to see Cai Jiu, who was naturally shocked when he heard this, so he ordered the people in the yamen to go to Xunyang Tower to investigate immediately, as long as there is such a thing, he has to think of the bold rebel who is anti-poem.
Sun Tu knew that his reaction was still half a beat slower, and now the most taboo thing in this world is rebellion and the like, even if there is no Huang Wenbing to fan the flames, there are people who will play a similar role. At this time, Huang Wenbing, who had heard all the words in his ears, also hurriedly came over and whispered: "Group practice, the matter has come to this, you can't fall into it again because of a momentary mood, otherwise ......"
Although he didn't make it clear, Sun Tu knew how serious it was to be involved in the felony of treason, especially when he still had the status of a military attachΓ©, it would be a disaster. But after thinking about it, he really couldn't leave Song Jiang alone, so he turned around and got on the horse, and said to Huang Wenbing: "I'll go to the state government to act, Mr. Huang, you will go to the prison camp, and report the matter here to Dean Dai as soon as possible." After all, I have a friend with Song Gongming, so I can't sit back and watch him die because of this. β
Huang Wenbing still had to persuade him to say anything, but after facing Sun Tu's solemn eyes, he didn't dare to say anything after all, so he could only hold his fists and agree, and followed his horse, and then the two of them rushed forward along the road they came.
After only one meal, Huang Wenbing had already arrived in front of the prison camp, and ignored the few soldiers who came forward to salute, so he threw the reins of his horse to them, and he quickly entered the door and went straight to Dai Zong's signing room. Although he didn't approve of Sun Tu's approach in his heart, he could only follow orders at this time.
"Why did Deacon Huang come here today, Xia Guan just prepared a pot of good wine here, why don't we have two glasses?" Dai Zong was stunned for a moment when he suddenly came to the door, and then greeted him with a smile.
Huang Wenbing didn't mean to go around in circles with him, closed the door after entering the house, and then approached Dai Zong and said with a serious expression: "Something happened, the prisoner Song Jiang from Yuncheng County, Shandong Province had written a bold anti-poem on the Xunyang Tower before, and it has been exposed, and now he is too upright to send people to extract evidence and plan to ask people for guilt, do you still have the heart to eat and drink here?" β
"What? Deacon Huang, you're not joking, are you? Brother Gongming...... Song Jiang, how could he write any anti-poems? Dai Zong's hand trembled, and the wine glass he had just picked up fell on the table and spilled a piece, but he didn't care about it at all, and just asked with a face full of disbelief.
Huang Wenbing looked serious: "Those two poems are still what I saw with my own eyes, but there will be no fake, and there is his own inscription of Song Jiang below." As he spoke, he handed over the piece of paper on which he had copied the verses. Dai Zong subconsciously took a look, this time his face really became extremely ugly, and even his body trembled slightly: "This ...... How is this possible? β
"Song Jiang's identity will be revealed in less than half an hour, you should think about how to deal with this level first. I was also ordered by Sun Tuanlian to come early to report to you, and we planned to help him cover up and erase those two anti-poems, but we were still one step ahead. Huang Wenbing didn't have much patience, and urged urgently.
"This ...... How good is that? Dai Zong completely believed this now, which made him feel even more anxious and panicked, and the whole person turned around in the room like an ant on a hot pot, and only after a while did he suddenly wake up: "By the way, I have to hurry up to see Brother Gongming and work out with him how to deal with this matter." As he spoke, he hurriedly opened the door and walked out, until the person came outside, he remembered something, and hurriedly turned around and said, "Thank you Deacon Huang for coming to report the news, I have recorded this kindness for Brother Gongming." β
Seeing him leave in a hurry after leaving this sentence, Huang Wenbing's face unconsciously showed a strange look. His original intention was to let Sun Tuanlian draw a line with these people, and even wanted to take this opportunity to eradicate a guy like Song Jiang, but now he has become a messenger...... For a moment, he was a little afraid that the matter would be exposed, and at that time he might also be beaten as a traitor by the government......
When Dai Zong whispered to Song Jiang about this, Song Gongming, as the person concerned, was also completely stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Seeing him like this, Dai Zong was a little puzzled: "Brother Gongming, are these two anti-poems written by you, is it because someone took your name in order to frame you?" β
"I ...... I only remember getting drunk alone in the Xunyang Building a few days ago, and then it seemed that I had written something...... But I have no impression of what is written...... "Song Jiang still said a little blankly. But this sentence was enough to explain the problem, Dai Zong looked at him a little stunned, and said that sentence after a while: "How is this good?" β
Song Jiang also knew that he had fallen into a catastrophe this time, and his body trembled: "Now I'm afraid that the government has found out my identity, and it won't be long before someone comes to ask me for guilt...... I am a prisoner, and if I am convicted of treason, I am afraid that my life will not be saved......" In the end, his whole body was paralyzed, and he was so frightened that his soul could not possess his body.
In comparison, Dai Zong was calmer, and said urgently: "Brother, don't despair, there is no way to do it." Why don't I take you out of the prison camp by chance, and then send you out of Jiangzhou and flee to other places for temporary refuge? β
Song Jiang shook his head and said, "This will only affect you, Brother Dai, and now that the official army should be on the way here, how can I escape?" Even if I can really escape, my escape will confirm my identity as a thief, and at that time, there will be no place for me Song Jiang in the world. And I still have my father and brother in my hometown in Yuncheng County, if the government can't get me, I'm afraid it will be bad for them......"
"Then let your brother be wronged in vain? This is a major crime of rebellion, once caught, it is very likely that you will not even be able to save your life! Dai Zong said with an anxious and uneasy face: "This kind of crime is what Sun Tuanlian has the intention to protect you and dare not open your mouth if you are afraid." β
Of course, Song Jiang also knew how dangerous this incident was, and he was also thinking about how to save himself. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he already had a way: "The only way to save me now is to drag it down, and then I want to notify Chao Tianwang and others on Liangshan and let them come to Jiangzhou to save my life...... "Even if he doesn't want to fall into the grass anymore, there is only one way to go at this time."
"But how do you delay it?" Dai Zong thought about it again, if he was an ordinary prisoner case, the officials in the prison camp could still deceive the upper and lower levels to help the fool, but now it is a big crime like rebellion, even if he dares to speak, it will not have any effect.
"There is a way to do it...... Song Jiang's brain reacted quickly at this time, and he immediately had a way: "You go and take some feces and urine and spill them on me and this cell." When they arrive, they will say that I am insane, and that I may be able to survive for a while......"
In the absence of other better countermeasures, although Dai Zong felt that this method was a bit inferior, he still hurriedly agreed, and quickly went to the latrine next to him, regardless of the stench and nausea, and carried several buckets of feces and urine over, and together with Song Jiang, he threw these things on him, and on the walls and ground of this originally quite clean cell.
Fortunately, many of the jailers were not in the prison camp today, so the two of them were not seen so busy. After they turned this place into a stinking place, which was not even as good as a pigsty, several jailers who were guarding outside rushed over with panicked faces: "Dean Dai, the state government suddenly sent someone to say that he wanted to take the prisoner Song Jiang......" As soon as he was halfway through his words, he smelled the disgusting stench, and saw Song Jiang, who was already lying on the ground at this time, rolling and screaming wildly, and was suddenly startled: "This is ...... It's ......"
"The prisoner Song Jiang suddenly fell ill with madness at the beginning of this year, so that he couldn't toss the prison into shape, didn't you report to the official a long time ago?" Dai Zong hurriedly spoke, which made the jailer stunned again, but soon understood, and nodded: "No, yes, that's right." β
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, a rapid and chaotic footsteps sounded from outside, and a military attache with about 20 soldiers rushed over murderously: "I am ordered to come to take the thief Song Jiang, where are the others?" β
