Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Chapter 174 The Prison is Impenetrable

"Military Advisor Xiao, I have a request."

Pei Xuan said to Xiao Jiasui.

"You speak."

Xiao Jiahui was quite curious and wanted to see what kind of request this impartial and incorruptible guy would make.

"If possible, could the strategist take some men to the Shamen Island prison? It holds many people who have been wrongly accused by the powerful and wealthy."

“Originally, I, Pei, should have been buried there as well. But I was fortunate enough to be rescued by the strategist. What about the others in this Shamen Prison? They were not so lucky. I do not deny that there are indeed some truly heinous people imprisoned there, but a large number of them have been framed. If possible, I hope the strategist can go and rescue them.”

"Of course, if it's inconvenient now, that's fine too. I hope the strategist will remember this and discuss it with the chieftain when we get back to see if it's feasible."

Pei Xuan's request was reasonable, and since he was asking rather than demanding, Xiao Jiahui felt very good about it.

I like people who know the rules. When someone knows the rules, everything is easier to handle.

“I’ve noted down your request. No problem. Perfect timing. My brother will be coming to join us in a day or two, and then we can ask him what he thinks.”

Xiao Jiasui did not agree rashly, but the attitude he showed had already satisfied Pei Xuan. After all, he had just been rescued and had just agreed to join Liangshan. It was indeed a bit inappropriate for him to make such a request to attack an important prison of the imperial court.

But that's just how Pei Xuan is. He knows that many people in the Shamen Prison are innocent, so he can't just ignore it. If you ask him to pretend he doesn't see it, he'll feel terrible.

That's good. He really can't tolerate any wrongdoing, and after this ordeal in the prison van, he's learned to be a little more flexible. This iron-faced magistrate is a good man!

The group immediately rushed back to Yinma River, since Bian Xiang's main force and Yinma River's forces were still there. To attack Shamen Island, they would definitely need to gather everyone together.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jiasui used a carrier pigeon to inform Ren Yuan of the situation. Ren Yuan then informed them that after packing up the things at Yinmachuan, they should leave a small group of men to watch over the village, while the majority of the men should go to the seaside to wait. Pinghai Army had provided a lot of friendly support by sending many boats, so they could go directly to the island by sea.

Two days later, the group gathered again at the Shamen Island ferry. This time, Pei Xuan's identity was no longer that of a prisoner to be taken to the island, but rather someone who was preparing to go to the island to rescue people!

"Brother Pei Xuan, Brother Deng Fei, Brother Meng Kang, we've been waiting for you for so long!"

Ren Yuan and the others arrived at the ferry crossing yesterday and have been waiting for them here.

"We have met Brother Ren Yuan!"

The three were a little nervous when they first met Ren Yuan, especially Deng Fei, who didn't know if Ren Yuan would be displeased with his legendary fiery eyes.

"Alright, alright, we're all brothers now, don't be shy. Brother Pei Xuan, once you're up the mountain, you'll immediately take over Master Guanghui's position as the head of the Military Law Department, in charge of all military laws and regulations of Liangshan. Master Guanghui will reorganize a battalion called the Inspectorate, under the Imperial Guard, responsible for monitoring all illegal and disorderly conduct throughout the mountain, specifically to cooperate with you!"

"In short, you are responsible for making the judgments, and Master Guanghui is responsible for making the arrests. Don't feel pressured, just go for it. As long as they violate the various military laws and regulations we will establish in the future, they will be punished accordingly!"

As soon as they met, Ren Yuan revealed some big news to Pei Xuan, once again reassuring him.

In this way, Pei Xuan is not just a military law chief who can only intimidate people; he has the power and the manpower to control the brothers on Liangshan.

"Brother, the fact that you have given me such great power is the greatest trust you have placed in me, Pei Xuan. From now on, I, Pei Xuan, will certainly uphold justice and ensure that there are no more wrongful convictions under the rule of Liangshan!"

Pei Xuan immediately bowed to Ren Yuan. This was exactly the kind of support he needed; it was more effective than anything else!

"No problem, no problem, get up, stop bowing. We've already said we're brothers, this bowing makes us feel distant."

Ren Yuan helped Pei Xuan up, then looked at Deng Fei, who seemed somewhat at a loss.

"This must be Brother Deng Fei, who was born with fiery eyes and can see through all the injustices in the world! I've heard of him for a long time. I've heard that his fiery eyes were a blessing from heaven at birth. How could those scheming people in the greenwood spread such rumors about him? Isn't this a disgrace to our Brother Deng Fei?"

Ren Yuan patted Deng Fei, signaling him not to be nervous.

"Don't worry, brother. From now on, if anyone in the bandit world dares to point fingers at your naturally sharp eyes, Liangshan will never let them get away with it!"

"Brother's kindness is beyond repayment!"

Deng Fei almost knelt down, but Ren Yuan stopped him in time.

"Don't worry, brother. From now on, your affairs are Liangshan's affairs. After we return to the mountain, I'll arrange for you to go to the Fourth Battalion of the Cavalry and team up with Brother Shi Bao. How about you be his deputy?"

"No problem! I'll go wherever my brother tells me to go!"

Deng Fei inquired about the current situation of Liangshan from Xiao Jiasui. He was already quite satisfied with being able to become the deputy commander of the first battalion because he had heard about the glorious deeds of the current commanders of the battle camps. He believed that he did not have the ability to be a commander.

"As for Brother Meng Kang, our mountain stronghold's ships will all depend on you from now on! You will be the leader of the stronghold's shipbuilding, and you will not only build river boats, but also ocean-going ships! After all, we can't always borrow ships from the Pinghai Army brothers, can we?"

"Don't worry, brother. I can't guarantee anything else, but I'll definitely handle the shipbuilding perfectly!"

Meng Kang patted his chest, exuding confidence.

"Okay, but that's a matter for later. Today, we need to do one thing first: rescue people from Shamen Island."

"So, Brother Pei Xuan, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you a bit. You'll have to dress up as a prisoner again, and then I, Mi Sheng, Lin Chong, and Hua Rong will pick some elite soldiers to act as your escorts. The other brothers will pretend to be soldiers of the Pinghai Army. We'll use the Pinghai Army's flag to get ashore."

"But remember, once we get ashore, we must not let any of the jailers on the island escape. Arrest all those who surrender and bring them back to the stronghold. Execute those who resist without mercy."

"Everyone says that the prison on Shamen Island is impenetrable, but today I'll see if the winds of Liangshan can blow into this bottomless Shamen Black Prison!"

Ren Yuan explained today's arrangements. His plan was simple: to openly use Pei Xuan's identity to enter the prison and then seize control of it.

This approach minimizes casualties and facilitates the rapid achievement of objectives.

"Brother, what a brilliant plan!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Xuan and the others exclaimed in surprise, never expecting that their brother Ren Yuan, who looked so burly, could be so meticulous.

"Hey, I only suggested an idea. The specific arrangements were all made by the strategist. You should praise the strategist."

Ren Yuan waved his hand. He had only put forward the idea; the specific arrangements and measures were all sent to him by Xiao Jiasui via carrier pigeon yesterday.

"Brother, you flatter me. It was you who came up with the idea; I only made some minor modifications."

One of the things Xiao Jiahui was satisfied with about Ren Yuan was that Ren Yuan didn't take credit for himself, and he was more willing to share the credit with others.

"Alright, alright. Stop flattering each other. Let's get ready and go check out this big island first."

Ren Yuan was eager to see what kind of people were imprisoned in this Shamen Prison!

Is it possible that this is a prison city built by the Song Dynasty?
