Chapter 118: Flower Zhizhai
Han Tao and Peng Xi killed the thieves in Qingfeng Mountain, and then led the men and horses back.
Let's say that Murong Yanda, who was in Qingzhou City, had dinner, sat in the study and sipping fragrant tea, holding a book with relish, when suddenly there was a shout outside, and when I listened carefully, there seemed to be screams and shouts of killing.
"What's wrong?" Murong Yanda, with the book in his hand at the moment, walked out of the study quickly, looked at the skyrocketing fire outside, and hurriedly asked.
"My lord, my lord, it's not good, it's not good." At this moment, the general who guarded the city ran in from outside in a panic and said.
Murong Yanda frowned, and then scolded with a straight face: "What is the panic, what is the matter of slowly coming, what kind of system is so panicked." ”
When the general guarding the city heard this, he also nodded his head again and again, and then said: "My lord, it's not good, that Qin Ming took refuge in the thieves of Qingfeng Mountain, and now he is leading his men and horses to attack Qingzhou City, and the hundreds of people outside the city let them kill countless people, which is unbearable." ”
"Fart!" At this time, Hu Yanzhuo, who heard the inquiry, couldn't help but shout, and said to Murong Yanda: "My lord, General Qin Ming has been born in the family for generations, and he is loyal to the court and my Great Song Dynasty, so he will definitely not do such a ridiculous thing, someone must want to frame Chief Qin, and I hope that your Excellency will investigate clearly!" ”
Murong Yanda secretly thought that Song Jiang's side was finished, and then Murong Yanda asked: "You can see clearly, it was Qin Ming who led the troops outside the city to attack Qingzhou City?" ”
"It's true, the armor mace is Qin Ming's personal thing, and the last general has also dealt with Qin Ming, so he won't be mistaken." The general who defended the city swore an oath.
Murong Yanda nodded, thought carefully for a while, and then said to the general guarding the city: "You immediately take someone to Qin Ming's mansion to see if Qin Ming's wife and child are in the mansion, if you are here, it means that someone has framed Qin Ming, if not, it means that Qin Ming has indeed taken refuge in the thieves of Qingfeng Mountain, and transferred his family away in advance." ”
"Yes." The general guarding the city answered, turned around and went out, Hu Yanzhuo next to him wanted to say something, but the matter had come to this, and he was not the general of Qingzhou, so he had to sigh, did not speak again, and waited for the result with Murong Yanda.
After a short time, the general guarding the city ran back and reported to Murong Yandayu: "Lord Huiyu, the last general will take his men and horses to Qin Ming's mansion, his wife and children are really not in the mansion, only some servants, I heard that the servants said that Qin Ming's wife and children are like the mansion of Qingfeng Village Huarong Zhizhai." ”
"Hmph, clever words, whatever goes to Qingfeng Village, it's all an excuse, it seems that this Qin Ming really took refuge in Qingfeng Mountain, and ordered someone to immediately issue a sea capture document, wanted criminal Qin Ming, and you immediately go to Qingfeng Village to arrest Qin Ming's wife and children." Murong Yanda's face was gloomy, he snorted coldly, and ordered.
"Yes." The general who was defending the city answered, and went out again.
The name of the general guarding the city is Ma Qi, and he can do it by slapping his beard and going on horseback, a while ago, Ma Qi fell in love with a folk girl on the street, and wanted to tie him back to the house as a concubine, not wanting to be seen by Qin Ming, so he taught Ma Qi a good lesson.
Ma Qi has always held a grudge against this matter, thinking about revenge against Qin Ming, and finally his hard work paid off, and finally let Ma Qi find an opportunity, so just now he said that Qin Ming rebelled in front of Murong Yanda, and sure enough, Murong Prefect was furious after hearing this, and sent Qin Ming a sea fishing document.
Hades is so difficult to mess with little ghosts, maybe Qin Ming didn't expect that he would inadvertently offend his unpopular little person, and he actually struck him at a critical moment.
Ma Qi left Murong Yanda's mansion, went directly to the barracks without delay, ordered a hundred sergeants, and went straight to Qingfeng Village on horseback.
That Qin Ming's wife is indeed in the home of Li Guanghuarong, the Zhizhai of Qingfeng Village, Huarong and Qin Ming cherish each other, and the relationship is very good, this brother is also close, that Qin Ming's wife happens to be a person from Qingfeng Village, and returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors a few days ago, so he lived in Hua Rong's house at the invitation of Mrs. Hua Rong, and it happened that Hua Rong did not often go home when he practiced in the military camp, and the two ladies also had a talking partner, what happened in Qingzhou Hua Rong and others did not know.
On this day, Hua Rong came out of the barracks and came to his own mansion, he was the Wuzhizhai of Qingfeng Village, so he had his own office location, that is, the Zhizhai Yamen.
Coming to the office, in fact, there was no office in ancient times, in order to understand it, so I just said it, as for whether it is rigorous or not, there is no need to be too careful, and a large part of the Water Margin is also fictional.
As soon as Hua Rong entered the office, his own general Hua Zhong came over, Hua Zhong is also Hua Rong's deputy general, although his archery skills are not as good as Hua Rong, but he is also an arrow, and his martial arts are also extraordinary.
"The general is not good." Hua Zhong came to Hua Rong's side and whispered.
Hua Rong sat down in his place, took a sip of the teacup, and then asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"The news just came from Qingzhou City, saying that the governor of Qin took refuge in the thieves of Qingfeng Mountain, and also led the troops to attack Qingzhou City, killing thousands of innocent people, Murong Governor was furious, and sent the city defense officer Ma Qi to our Qingfeng Village to arrest the wife of the governor of Qin, and sent a sea fishing document to arrest the governor of Qin." Hua Zhong said truthfully.
"What?" Hua Rong was shocked, exclaimed, and then said: "Impossible, if you want to say that others still believe it, I don't believe it when it comes to Brother Qin Ming's defection to the Qingfeng Mountain Thieves, it is impossible for Brother Qin Ming to do such a thing, someone must have framed Brother Qin Ming." ”
"Yes, General, I think so too, but the news from Qingzhou City has a nose and an eye, and many people have seen Chief Qin slaughtering hundreds of people with his mace, and now Ma Qi is leading the people and horses towards my Qingfeng Village." Hua Zhong said.
"No, Brother Qin Ming will not do this, someone must have framed him, the top priority is to protect the Qin sister-in-law and my nephew first, and not let them be taken away by Ma Qi's villain." Hua Rong thought for a moment and said.
While the two of them were talking, a servant ran in from outside, came to the room, arched his hand towards Hua Rongyi, and said, "My lord, Liu Zhizhai and General Ma, the Qingzhou city defense officer, have led people over, and they are now waiting for your lord in the hall." ”
Hearing the report, Hua Rong was shocked, he didn't expect Ma Qi to come so quickly, and he didn't expect Ma Qi to come with Liu Gao of Wenzhizhai in Qingfeng Village.
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, for today's plan can only be to block the water and cover the earth, Hua Zhong, you go to the backyard to protect Mrs. and Mrs. Sister-in-law, I'll go to meet Ma Qi and Liu Gao for a while." Hua Rong said.
"Yes, the villain will go now, and the general should be careful." Hua Zhong nodded, said, and then turned to leave.
Hua Rong walked out of the office, walked for a while, and came to the living room in the front yard, as soon as he entered the living room, he saw where Liu Gao and Ma Qi of Wenzhizhai were sitting, drinking tea.
This Liu Gao is a literati, dressed in an official mansion, with a face like a crown of jade, a delicate face, three strands of long hair under his chin fluttering on his chest, and a polite scholar, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like a treacherous villain. Sitting next to him is Ma Qi, with a big round face, small eyes, a garlic nose, and a bit of rosacea, a red nose and dense black heads, like a big strawberry growing on his face, a big toad mouth, no beard under the chin, a shy belly, and a straw bag.
Hua Rong didn't deal with them, so he didn't greet them with a smile, walked in with a cold face, didn't say hello, sat directly on the main seat, and asked, "I don't know what wind blew the two of you to me today?" ”
"Hua Zhizhai, the two of us came here to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, let General Ma talk about this matter." Liu Gao didn't seem to see Hua Rong's cold face, he still looked like he was smiling, and said to Hua Rong.
"Huazhizhai, just before sunset today, Qin Ming, the former head of Qingzhou's soldiers and horses, took refuge in the thieves of Qingfeng Mountain, led the troops to attack Qingzhou City, and slaughtered more than 1,200 people in five or six villages outside Qingzhou City and the surrounding villages, Murong Prefect was furious, and ordered the issuance of a sea capture document to arrest Qin Ming and his family, Murong Prefect knew that Qin Ming's wife and child were in Huazhizhai's house, and specially ordered the end of the general to come to arrest the criminals, and hoped that Huazhizhai would cooperate." Ma Qi arched his hand towards Hua Rong and said in a polite tone.
After hearing this, Hua Rong nodded and did not speak, and only after a long time did he say: "It is impossible for Chief Qin to fall into the grass and commit himself to a thief, there must be some misunderstanding in this, it is very likely that someone is framing Chief Qin, I am afraid it is not appropriate for the two of you to be so rash." ”
"Hua Zhizhai, Qin Ming's defection to the Qingfeng Mountain Bandits is a fact, and many people have seen it when he led his troops to attack Qingzhou City, this is an indisputable fact, and it is an order from the Murong Prefect to want Qin Ming and his family, so please hand over the prisoner to the last general as soon as possible." Ma Qi still said respectfully, but his tone obviously became much harder.
Hua Rong snorted coldly and said: "What if I don't make friends, Qin Ming and I are close friends, and I don't believe that Brother Qin Ming can fall into the grass, since Brother Qin Ming handed over his family to me, then I have to keep them safe." ”
"So, Huazhizhai doesn't want to hand over people?" Ma Qi also sneered and said.
Hua Rong didn't speak, took a leisurely sip of tea, and didn't look at Ma Qi and Liu Gao.
"You ......" You see Hua Rong's attitude, Ma Qi is angry and doesn't come to one place, and when he slaps the table, he points at Hua Rong with his hand and is about to have a seizure, but he is stopped by Liu Gao.
Liu Gao and Ma Qi winked, then smiled, and said to Hua Rong: "Since this is the case, then the two of us will not bother, and the two of us will leave first." ”
"No." Hua Rong didn't look at it, and said it hard.
"Liu Zhizhai, that Hua Rong just now obviously didn't take you and me in his eyes, and didn't take Murong Prefect's Mansion in his eyes, why did you stop me?" The two of them went out of Hua Rong's house, and Ma Qi complained about Liu Gao.
Liu Gao smiled and explained: "I have been fighting with this Hua Rong in this Qingfeng Village for several years, this Hua Rong has a great influence in the army, if you really tear your face with him, the consequences are unimaginable, even if you really want to tear your face, then you have to come up with a perfect strategy." ”
Hearing Liu Gao's words, Ma Qi understood, and said at the moment: "It's still Liu Zhizhai who thinks thoughtfully, so I'll bother Liu Zhizhai to come up with a foolproof plan, I'm a big boss, and I can't think of any good way, just please hurry up, Murong Prefect is still waiting for a reply." ”
"This General Ma can rest assured." Liu Gao said: "General Ma is tired all the way, and he has already prepared a banquet at home, today you and I are not drunk and will not return, and tomorrow we will find a way to find that Hua Rong again." ”
"Okay, then I'll bother Liu Zhizhai." General Ma laughed and said.
"Hey, what did the general say, you and I hit it off at first sight, communicate and communicate feelings, and maybe we can come up with a way at the wine table." Liu Gao smiled and said.
The two returned to Liu Gao's mansion, not to mention the big feast, and after the two of them had drunk three rounds of dishes and five flavors, and had eaten and drunk enough, the two went back to rest.
Ma Qi was drunk, but Liu Gao was still sober, and when he returned to his room, he began to plan secretly, this time it was a godsend opportunity to fight Hua Rong, this Hua Rong used to be against him everywhere, and this time he would never be able to turn over, in fact, he had already come up with a way to deal with Hua Rong, just to pull this straw bag Ma Qi, and another point is that the plan must be fully prepared to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
