Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Huarong didn't expect Liu Gao, who was always weak, to be so stubborn at this time, and dared to scold him bloody.Hua Rong was at a loss for words for a while, and was unable to refute Liu Gao.

Seeing this, Song Jiang scolded: "You guy, I have no grievances with you in the past, and I have no grievances in recent days. How can you believe that unworthy woman harmed me? What's the reason for arresting me today?"

After listening to Song Jiang's question, Liu Gao looked up to the sky and laughed, then looked at Song Jiang contemptuously, and said, "What do you know, you black-faced dwarf! This official is the Zhizhai of Qingfeng Village, a dignified official of the court! To catch the thieves "It's my job to protect the environment and the people. Now that I know you, a black-faced dwarf, is the leader of Qingfeng Mountain's thieves, how can I neglect my duty and let you leave Qingfengzhai? This official is not like that filthy man." Deputy Zhi Zhai Huarong, who has received great favor from the imperial court, has colluded with the bandits in private!"

Hua Rong listened to it, and said with a livid face, "Brother asked him why!"

After saying this, Hua Rong took the knife to Liu Gao's heart and just gouged it out, then plucked out the heart and presented it in front of Song Jiang.Xiaoluo dragged Liu Gao's body aside.

Song Jiang looked at Liu Gao's heart, and said with a cold smile: "That guy Liu Gao is rude to me, he deserves it! Today I want to taste what his heart is like!"

Regardless of the blood stains all over his body, Hua Rong cut Liu Gao's heart into five pieces with a sharp knife in his hand, chose the most delicious piece and handed it to Song Jiang.The three of Yanshun shared the remaining four portions with Huarong.

"Brother Yanshun, the heart that has been splashed with cold water is really crispy and delicious! Go into the living room with you and have a few more bowls of wine, brother!" Song Jiang said to Yanshun, licking the blood from his lips with the tip of his tongue.

Yan Shun heard the words and replied: "Brother is right! This man's heart is the best dish to drink with. It's a pity that Liu Gao's heart is too small, and the brothers can't share much! Fortunately, that man's daily life is for nothing. Jing Jing, the meat on her body must be delicious. Later, I will ask the children to cut some thigh meat, and the brothers will roast it for the two elder brothers to serve wine!"

Wang Ying heard this, and shouted at the side: "Brother Yanshun, you have worked hard today to roast more meat. Brother Tianshou and I want to try your cooking!"

Zheng Tianshou also said: "Brother Yanshun is a master at roasting human flesh, today we will have a real treat."

Song Jiang laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Okay! Brothers, I will go to the Juyi Hall first. I have this delicious food today. I will have to get drunk before I sleep!"

Yanshun said to the young people under the stairs: "Wait, wash and peel this guy, and cut off the thigh meat for me. Then quickly bring the brazier and my knife! The rest of the meat , I will reward you!"

When the young men heard that there was fresh meat to eat, they all responded happily, and dragged Liu Gao to peel and wash it.

After Song Jiang and the others ate two bowls of wine, the young men brought a plate of fresh meat, a brazier and a few knives and forks to the Juyi Hall.

"Brothers, please try my Jinmaohu's cooking skills today!" After Yanshun said this to Song Jiang and Huarong, he skillfully sliced ​​the meat on the plate with the knife, put it on the fork and put it on the table. Roast on fire.

Yanshun sprinkled some spices from time to time while grilling, and after a while, the Juyi Hall was filled with a tangy aroma.

After Yanshun roasted the meat, he presented it to Song Jiang and Huarong, and asked the two elder brothers to eat first.The two of them were not polite, they grabbed the meat and put it in their mouths, their index fingers twitched after eating.

Hua Rong ate a bowl of wine with the barbecue, and praised: "Brother Yanshun, the barbecue you cook really has a special flavor!"

Song Jiang also nodded and praised: "This barbecue is comparable to the crisp heart just now!"

Zheng Tianshou said: "Brothers, I, brother Yanshun, used to sell sheep and horses, and he was good at roasting mutton. Since he came to Qingfeng Mountain, brother Yanshun has also practiced the skill of roasting human meat. I'm afraid that the cooks of the Xifu Building in Qingzhou City will not be able to cook such delicious food!"

Yanshun smiled and said: "As long as you guys like it, I will roast it for you to eat to your fullness today!"

All the heroes in the Juyi hall cheered in unison, calling for brothers and brothers, eating well.

After all the heroes ate Liu Gao's human flesh for a while, Song Jiang put down his wine bowl and said: "Although I killed this filthy bastard today, it's just that I haven't killed that bastard. It's hard to express the resentment in my heart."

Wang Xiaohu heard this, and said aside: "Don't worry, brother, I will go down the mountain tomorrow to break Qingfengzhai, and take that woman up the mountain. I let the woman escape last time, and now I will pay for it."

All the heroes laughed when they heard this.Let's have a drink that night and have a rest.

……

While the group of bandits on Qingfeng Mountain celebrated each other and were complacent, Huang Xin, the "Three Mountains of Town", was nervously arranging the defense of Qingfeng Village.

Huang Xin was defeated by Yanshun and the others. After riding his horse back to the Dazhai in Qingfeng Town, he gathered all the soldiers and horses in the village and guarded the gates on all sides.

Huang Xin hated Huarong's collusion with thieves and turned his back on the imperial court. He was also afraid that Huarong's confidantes would respond to Huarong and serve as internal support for the thieves. Huarong's close personal guarded him.

Zhizhai Liu Gao failed to escape, and Mrs. Liu Gao cried into tears when she heard the news.She found Huang Xin, the capital prisoner, and begged Huang Xin to find a way to rescue Liu Gaolai.

Huang Xin was unfavorable this time, and even folded his colleague Liu Gao into the hands of the Qingfeng Mountain robbers, and his appearance was not good.He had no choice but to comfort Mrs. Liu Gao, saying that Qingzhou City had been reported, and the army would arrive soon, and they would be able to break through Qingfeng Mountain and rescue Liu Zhizhai.

Mrs. Liu Gao kept a glimmer of hope in her heart, so she went away crying.

After sending Mrs. Liu Gao away, Huang Xin immediately wrote a petition and asked the two leaders of the teaching army to rush back to Qingzhou City on a flying horse and report to Murong Zhizhou.

Chapter 184 I ran into Song Jiang's gang

Just now, Murong Yanda, Ximenqing and others had dinner in Xifu Building in the city, and when they returned to the mansion, they heard that they were flying to report the military situation, and there was an urgent business.He ascended to the hall overnight and read the application letter sent back by Huang Xin's messenger.

I saw that the application said: "Qingfengzhai turned against Hua Rong, the deputy Zhizhai, and joined forces with the Qingfengshan bandits to kidnap Liu Gao from the Zhizhai. Huang Xin, the capital prisoner, fought bloody battles to temporarily kill the Qingfengshan bandits and protect the Qingfengzhai is safe. But because of the large number of bandits and powerful forces, Qingfengzhai has few soldiers and few generals, so there is no security at all times. The matter is urgent, please inform the state minister to send good generals early to guard the place."

Murong Yanda was shocked when he saw it, so he sent someone to invite Qingzhou command department to invite the commander of the state's soldiers and horses Qin Tongzhi to come to discuss important military matters.

"Thunderbolt" Qin Ming was the same as Murong Yanda today, only having dinner with Ximenqing and the others.After returning to the mansion, he heard the call from Mr. Zhou, so he went to the mansion to see Murong Yanda.

When they meet each other, they salute each other.Murong Yanda will show Huang Xin's flying report and show it to Qin Tongzhi.

After reading the petition, Qin Ming said angrily, "How dare the redhead be so rude! You don't need to worry about Gongzu, and you will set up an army horse soon. If you don't take this thief, you will never see Gongzu again."

Murong Yanda said: "If the general is slow, I'm afraid these bandits will attack Qingfeng Village and destroy Huang Dujian and the lives of the people in the town."

Qin Ming replied: "How dare you delay this matter! Just tonight, we will gather people and horses, and we will go early tomorrow."

Murong Yanda was overjoyed and hurriedly asked his subordinates to arrange wine, meat and dry food, and went outside the city to wait for the army reward.

Seeing that Huarong was against Huarong, Liu Gao was trapped, and Qingfengzhai trapped his apprentice Huang Xin, Qin Ming couldn't help being angry.He went out of the mansion to get on his horse, ran to the commander's office, and ordered a hundred horsemen and four hundred infantry.

Murong Yanda had arranged for someone to steam the steamed buns in a temple outside the city first, put down a big bowl, and boil the wine. Each person had three bowls of wine, two steamed buns, and a catty of cooked meat.This is the heroic act of Qin and Ming soldiers.

The magistrate's subordinates were busy all night, and when they were ready to do it, they saw the army and horses leaving the city, leading the army on the red flag, and a big book read: "The commander of the army and horses is Qin Tongzhi."

Murong Yanda did not slack off when it came to this important event, he personally waited outside the south gate.From a distance, he saw Qin Ming coming out of the city fully clothed, holding a mace studded with copper nails, he was indeed an incomparable hero.

Qin Ming immediately saw Murong Zhizhou appreciating the army outside the city, so he hurriedly asked the soldier to pick up the weapons and got off his horse to meet Murong Zhizhou.

After the two of them saluted, Murong Yanda took the cup, toasted Qin Ming with Zhuang Xingjiu, and told Qin Ming some words: "General, be careful all the way, I wish the general a victory, clear Qingfeng Mountain as soon as possible, and wipe out these grassroots for the country."

Qin Ming said to Murong Yanda: "Grandpa, don't worry, how can the little thief on Qingfeng Mountain be a thunderbolt from our army? Qin Ming will step down Qingfeng Mountain and capture the rebellious Huarong alive..."

Zhizhou Murong Yanda rewarded the army, and fired the guns. Qin Ming resigned from Murong Yanda, flew on his horse, spread out his team, and led [-] soldiers straight to Qingfengzhai to kill.

……

Ximen Qing and the others stayed in the Guilai Hall for a long time, and spent the Lantern Festival together with everyone. They made friends with Qin Hui and his wife, Murong Yanda, Qin Ming and others. It can be said that they have gained a lot.

Now that the purpose of communicating with Zhao Mingcheng and others has been achieved, Ximenqing is ready to bid farewell to Zhao Mingcheng, Li Qingzhao and his wife and return to Yanggu County.

It just so happened that Qin Hui and his wife were also preparing to return to Mizhou, and everyone gathered in the hall of Guilai Hall early in the morning, said goodbye to each other, and invited the next meeting place.

Just when everyone was saying goodbye, they suddenly heard the sound of trumpet cannons coming from the south gate of Qingzhou City.

Is Qingzhou City going to send troops to fight? Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.Qin Hui and his wife returned to Mizhou just as they were about to leave through the south gate. When they heard the sound of cannons, they couldn't help frowning.

Seeing this, Zhao Mingcheng temporarily left everyone in the Guilai Hall, and went to the Zhizhou Mansion to inquire about the news.

Not long after, Zhao Mingcheng returned to the mansion and brought the news that Qingfengzhai Deputy Zhizhai Huarong colluded with the bandits to rebel, captured Zhizhai Liu Gao, and trapped the governor Huang Xin in Qingfengzhai.
