Chapter Twelve: Sea Hunting, Pursuit, and Surrender to Shandong Resentment and sighing

After Yan Qing's three victories, he returned to Taihu Lake with Fei Bao and others, Fei Bao and the four did not want to be officials, and still fished in Taihu Lake, Yan Qing was rewarded with a lot of money, so he said goodbye to Fei Bao and others in tears, and the three went to Xiuzhou to meet Shi Bao's army, and still had Yue Fei inside and outside, and stayed in Fang La's army for the inside should not be mentioned.

But it was said that Wang Jin was there, and more than ten soldiers under his command fought desperately to get out of the encirclement, and fled straight to the Jinshan Temple to hide.

When he was young, the general returned and said anxiously: "The Jinshan camp has been burned with military grain and grass, but Tan Zhi has put all the charges on Ti Shi, and now Tong Guan has a sea fishing paper, and he wants to arrest Ti Shi." ”

When Wang Jin heard this, he was immediately furious, but he suppressed his anger and asked, "Then where are the rest of the old brothers?" The soldier said: "Most of the brothers fled back to the Runzhou camp, and the loss was not much. Wang Jin sighed and said: "Tan Zhi didn't listen to me, and now the thieves take advantage of the fog to break the camp, but they put the guilt on my head!" It's hateful! ”

After a pause, Wang Jin looked at the more than ten soldiers around him, got up and said: "Brothers, that Tong Guan and others want to blame me, and only take me, so I ask the brothers to take my Wang Jin back, I think you can also be exonerated for your crimes." ”

The more than ten people were all confidants, and when they heard this, they all knelt on the ground and said: "Ti Ha and Hugh such words, we are all people who have died for the rest of their lives under Ti Ha, if there is no Ti Ha, how can we have the life to live to this day?" If you want us to do such things that are inferior to pigs and dogs, wouldn't we be beasts? ”

Wang Jin was relieved when he heard this, but he frowned and said: "Now that I am already a guilty body, but I don't know where to put it, you will go back, just say that I have never been seen in the chaotic army, they are all innocent, and they cannot be guilty of the same crime as me." ”

But the more than ten people refused to get up, and they all said: "Tihar is so bad, he never left for us at the beginning, how can we abandon Tihar for the sake of our own innocence?" Tiharth will go to the grass from now on, and we will go with us. ”

Wang Jin was grateful, fell to the ground, and finally stood up hand in hand. After a little calming down, Wang Jin said: "There is no place for the left and right, if you go to the grass, I am afraid that I will lose my life of wisdom, but my female apprentice is in Shandong Road Domain Town for the female Xuanfu, if you go to vote for her, in the future, meritorious service, she will play, or you can be pardoned by the court." All the soldiers said, "I wish to follow the Ti Zhi." ”

After the discussion was made at the moment, everyone went to the clothes and armor, changed into ordinary people, looked for an opportunity to cross the river, and then went to the Shandong Road.

Not a day to the left of the Jeju Mansion, has not yet entered the city, Wang Jin and other entanglements are exhausted, just don't know how to be good, a few people came out of the tea house on the side, the first person is Zhu Wu, I saw him come forward and bowed: "Jinjiao head Wang Jin Wang Ti is polite, Xiao Ke Zhu Wu, I have been waiting here for a long time, I have seen it once at Shi Dalang's wedding banquet, can you remember?" ”

Wang Jin was taken aback and said, "Huaxi Zhu Wu, how can you not know?" Zhu Wu asked Wang Jin to sit down in the tea house, and without waiting for Wang Jin to ask, Zhu Wu said: "Since Wang Jiaotou entered the territory of Shandong Road, there are subordinate Jinyi guards to report, and my lord sent me to greet him. ”

Wang Jin was slightly startled, it turned out that his group had been exposed, but he didn't know it, but he knew it well, but fortunately he was a disciple. At the moment, he asked, "Where is Sanniang now?" Zhu Wu said: "The lord has urgent affairs, he went to Dengzhou, the jurisdiction of the peace of mind, before the lord left, has been explained, the jurisdiction to Shandong Road after the first settlement, the jurisdiction and other family members have sent someone to pick up, ten months after the will go to Shandong Road to gather." ”

Wang Jin and the others were all surprised, and one of the young generals asked: "I am an ordinary school, and my family can also pick me up?" Zhu Wu said with a smile: "The nineteen heroes who came with Wang Tizhi, I have already checked and prepared the details, and soon after the rank arrived at Shandong Road, I immediately sent people to pick up the family members to come, the rank is assured, the lord said publicly, it seems that the loyal and righteous men who will never abandon the rank are worthy of respect, and they must be taken care of." ”

Wang Jin and the others were warm in their hearts, and thanked them again and again, and at the moment Zhu Wu led Wang Jin and others into the city to settle down, Wang Jin separately assigned a mansion to live in, just waiting for the queen mother to live together, and the rest of the soldiers were settled properly.

That night, Zhu Wu personally set up a banquet to entertain Wang Jin and others. During the banquet, Wang Jindong asked: "I don't know if Sanniang has any urgent matter to go to Dengzhou, and I don't know where we can be effective?" Zhu Wu smiled faintly and said: "It's just a little thing, you don't have to work for the king, these days, you can live in peace first, and when the lord returns, he has his own arrangements." Wang Jin responded, so he didn't ask any more, but he thought in his heart: "Sanniang has gone in person, how can it be a trivial matter?" ”

Wang Jin's expectation was good, but a big event happened in Dengzhou. However, after Sanniang returned to Jeju Mansion that day, Huang Wenbing hurriedly came to find Sanniang and said that there was something important to report. Liqing and Sun Erniang returned to the women's camp, and Sanniang met Huang Wenbing alone in the secret room.

When he arrived in the secret room, Huang Wenbing was not in a hurry to sit down, so he took out a few secret letters and said: "My lord, there has been a secret report from Jinyi Wei recently, and someone has bad intentions. Sanniang was slightly shocked, what could make Huang Wenbing so anxious, this ill-intentioned thing must be not small.

At that moment, Sanniang read the secret letters, all of which were sent back by the Jinyi guard who was placed next to the old man of Liangshan, which detailed which people, on what day, where to meet, and what they said.

After reading it, Sanniang sighed, closed her eyes and was silent for a long time, and only after a while did she ask, "Who else knows about this matter?" Huang Wenbing said: "I am the only one who knows." Sanniang hummed and said, "Go and ask Zhu Junshi to discuss." Huang Wenbing bowed his head and said: "The West China Department has not been involved in it, and Zhu Junshi can be trusted." Then he turned and walked away.

When they were young, Zhu Wu and Huang Wenbing both went to the secret room, and they didn't subdivide it, Sanniang taught Zhu Wu to read those secret reports. After reading it, Zhu Wu was shocked, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said: "Lord, this matter seems to be just the tip of the iceberg, there must be someone in charge behind the scenes, you should find this person." ”

Huang Wenbing said: "I have sent a wide range of people to investigate, and I believe there will be news within a few days." Zhu Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Lord, this matter should be cut through the mess quickly, and it should not be spread too widely, otherwise everyone will be in danger and shake the foundation." ”

Sanniang pondered for a moment and said: "When the Heavenly King passed on the throne to me, I expected that there would be such a day, maybe I thought too simply, I always thought that everyone would act according to your wishes, but it was not. Alas, how big is the heart, how big is the matter. After a pause, Sanniang said with a cold face: "Step up the investigation, and report back as soon as there is news." Zhu Junshi, and taught the soldiers and horses of the West China Institute to prepare, Dengzhou, first let Li Jun's naval army be stationed in the Weihai camp, there is no need to go to the sea to exercise, once something happens, they will immediately enter the inland waterway, and the rest of the troops are so and so and so......"

It was late autumn, the Dengzhou Navy camp was peaceful, after a day of drills, the soldiers of the Shandong Road River Commander fell asleep, and the commanders of the Navy Division were still brightly lit.

Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi were all drinking together, and they all talked about military affairs, and after a while, Ruan Xiaoer suddenly talked about Yan Qing and Li Kui, and sighed: "These two brothers are also too wronged, aren't they just making trouble in Taiyue Temple and beating Ren Yuan?" The imperial court came to inquire about the official document, and the town guard office dismissed the two official positions, and even the slightest brotherhood was not left. ”

Ruan Xiaowu frowned and said, "Brother, didn't the lord say it?" We are already officials now, and everything can't be done by temperament. Ruan Xiaoqi shook his head and said: "The law is nothing more than human affection, the Li Kui brothers have followed the lord from birth to death for so many years, and for the sake of the lord back then, he broke off with Song Jiang, so righteous, but now, he just made a little mistake, and he drove out, and the old brothers of the True Sect are cold." ”

Ruan Xiaoer said again: "Also, I think that the Huaxi people have been reused, but I and the old brothers of Liangshan are not allowed to be reused, and they have to abide by this rule all day long, and those who abide by the law are not allowed to live happily." Back then, we followed Brother Chao Gai to the grass, just thinking that in the future, we would be unrestrained and free for a lifetime, but now it seems that we have been tied hand and foot. ”

Ruan Xiaoqi sighed: "Maybe one day, if I make a small mistake, the three of me will also be taken down." Ruan Xiaowu frowned and persuaded: "Aren't you two drunk?" Have you ever listened to the words of the instructor when you were in Jeju? If we are officials, we will first violate the law, but how can we govern one side? Besides, I'll just take care of the water camp, there are not so many rules on the river, and it's still okay. ”

Ruan Xiaoqi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Brother, did you believe that word?" I think you've been confused by the Rectification Movement lately. The three of us were all born as reckless fishermen and are used to being free. Ruan Xiaowu said angrily: "If you feel unhappy, you can hang up the crown, and I will accompany the two of you to go back to Shijie Village to fish." ”

Ruan Xiaoer said: "This is okay, if you resign and return to the people, you don't have to be so worried." Speaking of this, suddenly the small school outside the tent reported: "There are people outside the camp who ask to see." Ruan Xiaowu was in a bad mood and shouted: "What kind of birdman, come to see you at night?" Xiao Xiao was taken aback, and only said: "The person who came said that it was an old friend, but he did not say it." ”

Ruan Xiaowu shouted: "Rush out, I want to come back during the day!" Ruan Xiaoer interjected: "There is nothing to do left and right, it is better to invite you to meet, and the virtuous brother does not need to be angry." Then he commanded that the man be brought in.

When he was young, the colonel led a person to the tent, and the man brought a cloak and cloak to cover his head, and after entering the tent, the urn only said angrily: "There is a confidential matter, please beg to retreat." Ruan Xiaoer was curious, but he still ordered Yiying to retreat, leaving only the three brothers to see each other alone.

At this time, the man took off the cloak and cloak and showed his face, San Ruan was taken aback after seeing it, Ruan Xiaoer pointed at the man: "Why is the official here?" (To be continued.) )
