Hearing Song Jiang ask, Mu Hong next to him wiped his tears at the moment, and then said: "Brother, my brother Mu Chun was hacked to death by Li Kui's axe, and there is also a group of Chao Gai from Liangshan, who bullied me and others because of their strength, and the injuries on my and Wang Ying's brothers were caused by Chao Gai." ”

Song Jiang was originally angry, but as soon as he heard Chao Gai, he instantly fought a cold war, and all his anger disappeared, and then Song Jiang hurriedly asked, "Why is there still something about Liangshan?" That Chao Gai also came to Jiangzhou? ”

At that moment, Wang Ying said what happened, the more Song Jiang listened, the more puzzled he felt, he didn't wrinkle all the time, and when Wang Ying finished speaking, Cui Daocheng next to him read a Buddha name, and said at the moment: "Amitabha, Brother Gongming, did this Chao Gai know that we were in Jiangzhou and specially found it, this matter has to be prevented, I am still a wanted criminal by the imperial court, and I can't act sloppily." ”

Song Jiang shook his head after hearing this, and said at the moment: "I don't think it like, I don't have a few brothers who know about going south to Jiangzhou this time, and his whereabouts are absolutely confidential, he Chao Gai is far away in Liangshan, and now the imperial court has sent a large army to encircle and suppress Liangshan, there is nothing particularly important It is impossible to go south to Jiangzhou, maybe it is a coincidence, but Master Cui is right in the second half of the sentence, whether his people from Liangshan are coming to us or not, we must take strict precautions, and we have to guard against it." ”

"Brother, this is also an opportunity for us, that Liangshan's Chao Gai has repeatedly opposed his brother, it can be said that my brother's ability to have today is all caused by that Chao Gai, and if this matter is not reported, there will really be no chance when Chao Gai returns to Liangshan." Dai Zong next to him said.

Hearing Dai Zong's words, Song Jiang's eyes lit up, and then he nodded and said, "Indeed, what Brother Dai Zong said is right, but is there any good way to get rid of Chao Gai and his group without exposing us?" ”

Dai Zong smiled slightly, and said in his chest: "The junior brother has a plan, and it will be effortless to eliminate Chao Gai and others in this Jiangzhou." ”

"Where did the plan come from?" Song Jiang hurriedly asked.

Dai Zong said: "I just heard the description of the Wang Ying brothers, that Li Kui and Li Jun of Jieyangling and others have taken refuge in Liangshan, our forces are thin, we can't compete with them, for today's plan is to borrow a knife to kill, Jiangzhou is an important town of the imperial court, a total of more than 10,000 people, the younger brother serves in Jiangzhou as a prison in the two courts, and he can often see Cai Jiu, the prefect of Jiangzhou, it is better to use Cai Jiu's hand to wipe out the thieves in Liangshan." ”

"Good plan, wonderful!" Song Jiang stroked his palms and laughed after hearing this, and without further ado, he asked Dai Zong to go to the mansion of the prefect of Jiangzhou overnight, and informed the Liangshan bandit leader that Chao Gai, the king of Tota, was in Jiangzhou, and asked the prefect to send troops to arrest him.

Dai Zong knew that this matter could not be delayed, so he also responded at the moment, turned around and went out.

Let's say that Dai Zong went out of his own house, and came directly to the prefect Cai Jiu's house, came to the door, walked forward, knocked on the door knocker, and soon a housekeeper opened the door, and when he saw that it was Dai Zong, he said politely: "Oh, it turned out to be Dean Dai, I don't know what Dean Dai is doing so late?" ”

Dai Zong often comes to Cai Jiu's house, so he is very familiar with the housekeeper of Cai's house, and immediately bowed his hand to the housekeeper and said: "Steward Cai, I have something important to see the adult when I come overnight, and I hope that the housekeeper will be familiar with one or two." As he spoke, he took out thirty taels of silver from his bosom and handed it to the butler.

The housekeeper said with a smile on his face: "Since there is something important, the little one naturally does not dare to delay, and the adult just hasn't rested, and is still following Huang Tong's judgment. Then he turned and went in.

After a while, the butler came out again and said with a smile: "Dean Dai, the adults are invited, please come with Dean Dai and the little ones." ”

After Dai Zong said hard work, he followed the housekeeper in, and came to the backyard study of Cai's mansion around the corner, Dai Zong pushed the door into the study, and saw Jiangzhou Taishou Cai Jiu sitting behind the bookcase, and Jiangzhou Tongju Huang Wenbing sitting next to him.

Cai Jiu looked at the age of almost thirty or forty years old, this age was already considered middle-aged and elderly in ancient times, but he was very energetic, with big ears, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a face like a crown of jade, a long hair under his chin, wearing a moon-white robe, looking polite, maybe this is a traitorous loyalty.

Cai Jiu's original name is Cai Dezhang, and he is the ninth son of Cai Jing, the imperial master of the dynasty, so they all call him Cai Jiu, and he is "corrupt for officials and arrogant in his work". Because he received Huang Wenbing's secret report, Song Jiang, who was arrested for the crime of treason, arrested Song Jiang, who wrote an anti-poem, and later imprisoned Dai Zong, who passed on a false letter from Liangshanbo, and prepared to be executed together, but was robbed by Chao Gai, Li Kui and other Liangshanbo troops and fled in a hurry.

Huang Wenbing, who was sitting next to him, saw that Huang Wenbing was not wearing an official uniform, a cyan robe, a bronze complexion, a thin and cold face, a pair of sharp sword eyebrows obliquely inserted into the temples, eyes like electricity, a straight nose and a square mouth, three short hairs under the chin, and a capable appearance.

Huang Wenbing is described in the Water Margin and said: He was originally a "judge in idleness" who lived idle in a small town of Wuwei Army, "although this person reads the scriptures, he is a sycophant, narrow-minded, as long as he is jealous of the virtuous and jealous, he is better than the one who has harmed him, and he is not as good as the one who has done it, and he specializes in harming people in the township, and he only wants to harm people in his heart, and he is used to doing evil things, and the Wuwei Army calls him a 'wasp sting'." ”

These few short sentences make Huang Wenbing's personality and conduct clear: first of all, he is a scholar who reads the scriptures, is sensible and very talented; secondly, he has a strong desire to be promoted; the third is that he is narrow-minded and jealous; Fourth, he loves to play with right and wrong and takes pleasure in harming others.

I once read an article saying that some people attribute China's scholars to four kinds of people: one is to study and become officials, which is the most lofty ideal and belief of scholars; the second is to sing praises for virtue, for those who have the power, money and power to sing praises in exchange for their own interests to achieve personal goals; the third is to inform, betraying others to pave the way for personal goals; Fourth, jealousy can rectify people behind their backs, use conspiracies and tricks to harm others, and after achieving the goal, they will begin to be villains, while harming others, they also laugh at those who are not as good as themselves, but Huang Wenbing, who is described in the Water Margin, has accounted for all four, and the description is clear and delicate.

But when you read through this paragraph carefully, you will find that Huang Wenbing is not as bad as described in the book, in other words, Huang Wenbing's badness is largely due to the author's appearance as a villain with colored glasses, or deliberately with colored glasses.
