Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the failure to arrest the robbers of the Birthday Gang caused a great shock to the Jeju officialdom, and the arrest made He Tao be severely punished for 30 years, ordered to make meritorious service for the crime, and the new prefect, Yuncheng prefect and other officials at all levels were severely punished by the imperial court.

And because Black Songling is located in the boundary of Gunju, the Jeju government couldn't find him for a while, Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others were not disturbed, not only took root with peace of mind, but also secretly used silver taels through people to rescue Bai Sheng.

Unexpectedly, Liangshan Manor was also affected by this incident, because Chao Gai and they fled into Shuibo at that time, Jeju Prefecture and Yuncheng County organized people to conduct a large-scale search of Shuibo, fortunately, the manor got the information early, through Zhu Tong to the searchers made silver taels, and invited a banquet at the Lijiadaokou Hotel, and those people took a hasty look at the periphery and went.

And the one who benefited the most from the entire Birthday Gang incident, and the one with the deepest scheming, is probably the Song Zhusi in Yuncheng County. Let's say that this Song Saburo has been jealous of the reputation of the jade-faced Meng Gu Haotian in recent years, but he has not liked him several times, but he has tarnished his own reputation, and the name of "timely rain" is gradually not favored by the characters in the rivers and lakes, so he thinks day and night about how to regain his reputation.

That day, he met He Tao, the arrest envoy of Jeju, in front of the Yaqian, and he thought that the opportunity had come. Chao Gai has some prestige in the rivers and lakes, and if he shows his favor to him, he will definitely regain his prestige in the rivers and lakes through his preaching in the future. Moreover, this matter has many other benefits for him, a birthday gang case has nothing to do with him, whether Chao Gai escapes or not has no impact on him, the biggest responsible person is the county magistrate Shi Wenbin, this person has not long been in office, although he is good to him, but he knows that this magistrate has a lot of friendship with the ancient family boy, and he hates it even more for pretending to be honest, blocking a lot of his own financial routes, just taking advantage of this matter to make him stumble. Second, he also knew that the governor Zhu Tong had a very good personal relationship with Chao Gai, even if he didn't do favors, Zhu Tong would definitely try to make it easier for him. The three birthdays are a great fortune, and they have made favors, but they are afraid that there will be no return. This Song Sanlang is worthy of being an old official, and he instantly understood the gains and losses, so he stabilized He Tao and hurried to Dongxi Village by himself. However, to his slight disappointment, the Akigai seemed to have received information that had greatly diminished his credit.

In the past few days, Song Jiang has been speculating and waiting, secretly checking who the messenger is, and looking forward to the possible harvest on the other hand, so that even the new concubine Yan Poxi has been snubbed.

Let's say that on this day, Song Jiang came out of the county government and went to the teahouse opposite to eat tea, and he just sat down.

I saw a big man, wearing a white Fanyang felt hat, wearing a black and green Luo jacket, a waist knife straddling his waist, carrying a big bag, sweating profusely, and coming to the county government in a hurry, and while walking, he turned his face away and stared at the door of the county office. Song Jiang saw that the whereabouts of this big man were strange, and his figure was a little familiar, and he thought that it was not someone from Chao Gai's side, so he hurriedly got up and drove out of the tea house, and followed the man and walked about twenty or thirty steps.

I saw that the man went to a grate shop on the side of the road and asked, "Big brother, who is that priest next to you?" ”

The grate shop guy responded: "This is Song Abshi." ”

When the man saw this, he hurriedly turned to Song Jiang and saluted, and said, "Does the priest recognize the little brother?" ”

Song Jiang knew that it was Chao Gai's person who came at this time, so he led him into a secluded alley, and under questioning, it turned out to be the red-haired ghost Liu Tang. Then the two entered a tavern, Liu Tang told him about the grass falling in Heisongling, and handed him Chao Gai's letter and one hundred taels of gold, Song Jiang pretended to prevaricate, and said that he would first accept it to go to the yali to make some relations, and then use some wine and food together, and Liu Tang took his leave.

That Song Jiang waited for Liu Tang to go away, and then slowly went home with his baggage, but he thought in his heart: After all, he got a harvest, but it's a pity that Shi Wenbin's sour Confucianism didn't get a big punishment. Thinking all the way, I couldn't turn two corners, only to hear someone shouting from behind:

"Oshiji, I've been there for many days, so that the old body is easy to find!"

Song Jiang looked back and saw that it was Yan Po, the old lady who had just married a concubine, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart.

It is said that when he married that Yan Po that day, Song Jiang was greedy for her appearance, but after playing for a while, he gradually got a little tired of it, and he was not very diligent when he went. Who would have thought that the woman was actually a water-based Yang Hua's character, but she was unwilling to be lonely, and she actually hooked up with Song Sanlang's colleague Zhang Wenyuan, and even Song Jiang heard some rumors, but he was a very scheming person, and he had to pretend to be loyal and righteous, so he only kept this matter in mind, and besides, Yan Po regretted that he was a woman he was tired of playing with, so he went even less.

"I'm busy with county affairs today, and I can't put it away, but I'll come another day."

Song Jiang replied and was about to leave. But Yan Po was willing to let go of this gold owner, for her, Song Jiang was the parent of food and clothing, although Zhang Wenyuan had a little white face, but he had such a net worth and power as Song Jiang, so he was entangled on the side.

Song Jiang was entangled by the mother-in-law, and gradually became a little moved, secretly thinking that the woman had changed her mind these days, but it would be good to play with her tonight, so he went with Yan Po.

Let's say that Yan Po regretted the door knock that she heard at home, thinking that Zhang San came to the door, and rushed out of the room, but saw a black face, so she pulled down her face and turned back to the room. Song Jiang suddenly became angry, thinking that the master spent money to support you, but he showed me his face, let's take a look at this slut's performance tonight, otherwise I will teach her a lesson in the future. So he sat in the room with a cold face, just waiting for the woman to come and please him, who knew that Yan Po was used to being flattered by that Zhang San, and that she had the heart to wait for him, so she just went to bed with her clothes and slept with her. In this way, he stayed up until the fifth watch without embarrassment, and he didn't see the woman make any noise, Song Jiang scolded "thief slut" fiercely, and went out with a black face. But not far from the door, he suddenly remembered that his burden had fallen in the woman's room, and hurriedly turned around and rushed to retrieve it, but the Yan Poxi actually threatened with this, saying that Song Jiang had an affair with the robber Chao Gai, and wanted him to fulfill her and Zhang Wenyuan's good deeds, Song Jiang hated her, and when she mentioned Zhang Wenyuan again, she couldn't help it, and killed her in a rage.

When Yan Po saw that her daughter was killed, she was afraid that Song Jiang would kill people again, but she didn't dare to make a noise, and she followed Song Jiang to the county government before she suddenly shouted loudly.

The murder incident in Song Jiang soon caused a storm in Yuncheng County. And Gu Haotian of course got the news in the fastest time, he had a premonition that Song Jiang was about to enter the rivers and lakes, although Liangshan was already in his hands, and many things were unrecognizable, but he knew that this person had the potential to be a hero, and he would never dare to underestimate him. So in the afternoon of the next day, Gu Haotian returned to Gujiazhuang.

Then the people of Yuncheng County began to discuss a key question in the murder, who was the murderer?

Tang Niu'er, a passer-by, was imprisoned as a murder suspect for no reason.

And the "timely rain" who is famous for his loyalty and righteousness, if he didn't kill anyone, why didn't he dare to show his face, but ran away, and let others suffer from it, where is his benevolence and righteousness?

So under the operation of well-intentioned people, public opinion gradually became more and more turbulent, spreading more and more widely, and when people heard about it, they all spurned Song Jiang's hypocrisy and hypocrisy.

Shi Wenbin, the magistrate of Yuncheng County, originally thought that Song Jiang was an old official in the yali, and he also had a good reputation on weekdays, so he tried to make big things small and delayed for some time. However, in the face of the turbulent public opinion of the people, and the endless entanglement between Zhang Wenyuan and Yan Pozi, he no longer protected it, sent a document, and led Zhu Tong to arrest Song Jiang.

At noon on this day, the guests in Shilixiang Restaurant were very lively, and people were talking about the hottest topics in the county.

"Brother, I heard that Shi Zhi County has gone to arrest that Song Sanlang with Zhu Dutou, but I don't know how to defend myself with this 'timely rain', but there is a lot of excitement to see."

"Zhu Dutou and Song Zhisi have been colleagues for many years, and they are affectionate and righteous, according to the following, this arrest will not be successful, and my brother's wish may be disappointed."

"It's just a pity that Tang Niu'er ate a lawsuit for no reason, if Song Sanlang doesn't come to surrender, he will end up with a remote army, which is really a disaster."

……

When the diners in the lobby were discussing, Gu Haotian, Bian Xiang and others entered the Shilixiang Restaurant, and the sharp-eyed people immediately recognized them, and said, This is the real loyal person in our Yuncheng County, where those people with different hearts and mouths can be compared. For a while, everyone in the hall echoed one after another, and many people got up to talk to Gu Haotian, but he was surrounded in the lobby like an idol star in later generations.

Gu Haotian came to Shilixiang today, but it was because Gu Tao passed a piece of information to him yesterday, and he wanted to come over to inquire in detail, but he didn't expect such a situation. Just as he was surrounded by everyone and was busy coping, he heard an old and sad voice outside the crowd:

"My cow is wronged! I begged the petty officials to save his life. ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly flashed away, only to see an old man kneeling in the hall, and someone with knowledge said that this was Tang Niu'er's father.

"Old man, please get up, if you have something to say, if you do your best, you will not refuse."

Gu Haotian hurriedly helped him up, and then let his man sit down and pour tea, entertaining him like his own parents, and suddenly everyone was amazed.

You said that this old man Tang coincidentally appeared in the Shilixiang Restaurant, it was originally from after his son was imprisoned, he was sad and helpless, but a kind person reminded him, saying that the little officials in Gujiazhuang are benevolent and righteous, and if he asks for help, he may be able to save his son's life. But he didn't know where to find this little official, so he stayed at the door of Shilixiang every day, hoping for a miracle, but he didn't expect to meet him today.

At that moment, Gu Haotian listened to Donald's complaints, and thought that if Shi Wenbin came out there, he would definitely release people, so it was better to do a favor, so he said:

"When I know that the county is an official and Qingming, but I was deceived by traitors for a while, I might as well write a petition together and send it to the county office, and the county magistrate will make a clear judgment after reading it."

Everyone applauded when they saw it, so Gu Haotian personally wrote a complaint and took the lead in signing his name. After Gu Haotian and Gu Tao quietly gave an order, they went to the county government with everyone, and the pedestrians along the way heard about it, and they also continued to join, and when they arrived at the county office, there were nearly 1,000 people.

In the county office, Shi Wenbin, the county magistrate, has also made it difficult for this murder these days, and he was in the back office on this day, and suddenly heard that more than 1,000 people outside had sent a petition, and he was shocked. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, this Haotian was completely indisputable, but he didn't tell him about the big thing first. When he was struggling, another official sent a letter, saying that it was sent by the shopkeeper of Shilixiang. Shi Wenbin immediately thought that it must be related to the petition, and when he opened it, it was really good, but there were only ten words in it: "One person's love, one city's public opinion, which is important!" After thinking for a while, he asked the master to release him, and only said to outsiders that the case had been clarified, the responsibility was all on Song Jiang, and Tang Niuer was acquitted.

And said that more than 1,000 people gathered in front of the county government, and when they saw the petition go in and only stick incense, they saw the master leading the Tang Niu'er out, announcing that the blame was all on Song Jiang and had nothing to do with Tang Niu'er, and more than 1,000 people immediately applauded, and the Tang family father and son were even more grateful to kneel down in front of Gu Haotian, and everyone who came with them also admired the great benevolence and righteousness of Gu Xiaoguan, and Gu Haotian's name was even more unique for a while.
