Chapter 195: Burning the county government office
On a quiet night, the bleak moonlight poured down, covering the storm's mansion with a layer of mystery.
At this time, Ximen Qing hid in the woods not far from the mansion, tied his horse and couldn't cover his face with a black cloth.[]
After parting with Ruan Xiaowu and others, Ximen Qing walked all the way and finally arrived at Chao Mansion in Dongxi Village at midnight.
Ximen Qing held a sharp knife, stepped on his feet and flashed with snow Wuhen. He sneaked towards Chao's mansion. After climbing over the wall, Ximen Qing looked around and found no soldier.
Didn’t it mean that the Chao Mansion was stared by the government? 7 There were soldiers guarding it, but what about the people now? Have they all gone to make a soy sauce?
While Ximen Qing was suspicious, he felt a bad feeling in his heart. Ximen Qing did not dare to delay and ran down the corridor towards Chao Gai's study.
As he walked along the way, let alone figures, there was not even a wild cat. Ximen Qing immediately guessed that the guards had been withdrawn. The soldiers were withdrawn? Could it be that their commanders felt that there was no value in squatting here, so they transferred the soldiers? Ximen Qing shook his head and denied this idea. Even if the officials really wanted to transfer the soldiers, they would not be transferred to the limelight, because everyone above was watching, and even if they were acting, they had to continue to guard the Chao Mansion. Therefore, the county magistrate did not dare to be careful! In this way, the reason why the soldiers were withdrawn was because they found some very important clues, which could prevent them from squatting here.
What clues are important? This is naturally self-evident for Ximen Qing.
Shaking his head a little confused, Ximen Qing quickly walked into the book room. He pushed open the door and rushed in, and then arrived in front of the book desk. As Chao Gai said, after reading the letter, he stuffed the letter into a pile of letters on the book desk because of a haste.
But at this time, not to mention a bunch of letters, there was not even a piece of paper on the desk!
Looking at Kong dàngdàng's book case, Ximen Qing immediately cursed inwardly, "Damn! It's too late!"
Ximen Qing's speculation just now was confirmed. The soldiers guarding the Chao Mansion, because they discovered Song Jiang's letter of information, left Chao Mansion and returned to Yuncheng Yamen to report.
This is why there is no one here.
Thinking of this, Ximen Qing rushed out of the gate, ran out of Chao Mansion, and then drove his own horse towards Yuncheng County.
Chao Gai and others were better, and Song Jiang helped him to inform him. But what about Song Jiang now? Who would inform him and let him escape?
Ximen Qing was anxious and secretly begged Song Jiang to escape this disaster. At the same time, Ximen Qing also made up his mind that if Song Jiang was really caught, he would save Song Jiang even if he robbed the prison!
"Damn, I want to see. I want to rob the prison, who dares to stop me?" Ximen Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, shining with a cold light, and cursed fiercely.
Riding all the way, Ximen Qing wanted to fly. Finally, just before the horse was exhausted,
Ximen Qing saw Yuncheng County. Then, Ximen Qing abandoned his horse and walked to the front of Yuncheng County.
At this time, the county gate was full of soldiers guarding it. As long as the people were in the city, the people were not allowed to leave the city. Even if they entered the city, they had to undergo investigation by the soldiers and compare the wanted portraits.
Ximen Qing followed the crowd in, and soon found Ximen Qing.
The searching soldier looked at Ximen Qing's appearance, then waved his hand and said, "You're fine!
Go in!"
Ximen Qing smiled and gave him a chain of silver in a very obscure way, then smiled and said, "This guy, I just came from another place and don't know many things. I want to ask you, who is this to hunt for? So serious? Are you still hunting Chao Gai?"
The soldier weighed the silver in his hand and then smiled and said, "This camp is not a search for Chao Gai. They have all gone to Liangshan. Who is too lazy to investigate here? Tell you, we are looking for Song Jiang for this matter! Song Jiang knows it, it's the timely rain.
Ximen Qing thought to himself, and at the same time he was relieved. He did not find Song Jiang. This was the best news for Ximen Qing. "It seems that someone notified Brother Gongming and allowed him to escape this disaster! But judging from this situation, it means that Brother Gongming is still in Yuncheng City and has not left the city!"
Ximen Qing nodded, then stopped talking, and quickly entered the city. As soon as he entered the city, he saw many soldiers searching in groups, from door to door, as if he was thinking of digging three feet into the ground and finding Song Jiang's whereabouts.
Ximen Qing walked towards Songjiazhuang, but after walking two steps, he was stopped.
"Emperor Yi, Emperor Yi!"
Hearing someone calling him, Ximen Qing stopped and looked around, then found that Yang Lin was waving his hand at him on a second-story wooden house not far away.
Ximen Qing was happy and then walked up. As soon as he walked to the wooden house, Yang Lin, who was going downstairs, opened the door and pulled Ximen Qing into the house.
"Emperor Yi, why are you here?" Yang Lin asked hurriedly with joy on his face.
Ximen Qing hurriedly told the purpose of his visit.
After listening to Ximen Qing’s story, Yang Lin sighed distressedly and said, “Hey, it’s a coincidence. If Emperor Yi had come one day earlier, Brother Song Jiang would probably be fine!”
Ximen Qing also sighed, and then asked hurriedly: "By the way, Brother Yang, when I just entered the city, I heard from the soldiers who checked me, that Brother Gongming had not been caught yet. It seems that Brother Gongming should be very safe. Do you know where he is? Take me to see him! By the way, Brother Yang, why are you staying here?"
Ximen Qing looked around and found that there was nothing in the room, only a wooden table and a few stools.
Yang Lin pulled Ximen Qing and sat down, saying, "Now Brother Song Jiang is hiding in the cellar of Songjiazhuang! Although the Songjiazhuang is guarded by soldiers, he is still safer. However, there is not much food in the cellar, and Brother Song Jiang can't stay for a long time. When there is no food, he will starve to death even if he is not discovered. As for why I am here, I am actually waiting for Shi Qian, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi."
"Wait for them? Haven't they left the city?" Ximen Qing asked suspiciously.
Yang Lin nodded and said, "I was staying outside the city before, but since the incident between Song Jianghuang's brothers was leaked yesterday, the soldiers have turned their attention to him. Shi Qian and the second brothers Ruan secretly came into the city, hoping to find out the news about Song Jiang brothers and help them!"
Just then, a knock on the door came from outside the house: "Dongdong"
Yang Lin was happy and hurriedly stood up and said, "They are back!"
As he said that, he opened the door. Sure enough, Erruan and Shi Qian stood outside the door. At the same time, behind the three of them, Kong Ming and Kong Liang were also there.
Looking at Ximen Qing and Shi Qian inside the house, Erruan, Kong Ming and Kong Liang were all shocked, and then they were overjoyed, and then they came in one after another.
After closing the door, Shi Qian patted Ximen Qing on the shoulder and said with a smile: Emperor Yi, I finally saw you, haha, you and Brother Chao Gai did a great job this time! More than 200 people actually killed more than a thousand people and fled in the panic. Tsk, it's so fucking good! What else can be more famous in the Song Dynasty now? And now the Liangshan Fire is in fire. I heard that many people are thinking about going to Liangshan to fall into grass. Alas, I really regret not following you at that time, otherwise I could do it well!"
It can be seen that Shi Qian is very happy to be flew when he speaks, and his beard is so exciting.
Ximen Qing also responded with a smile: "This is all the credit of the brothers. Brothers work together to cut off gold!"
Then, Ximen Qing asked, "By the way, Brother Shi Qian, how is the situation in Shujiazhuang now?"
Shi Qian pointed to Kong Ming and Kong Liang and said, "You should ask Kong Ming and Kong Liang. They just came out of Songjiazhuang and knew more than us. Alas, this time the letter leaked Song Jiang."
Ximen Qing looked at Kong Ming and Kong Liang and expressed his inquiring expression.
Kong Ming hurriedly said, "Don't worry, although there are soldiers in the Song family village, both the master and Song Qing are still safe. If Brother Zhu Quan had not informed him this time, the master would be in danger.
At that time, if the master had been caught by the soldiers at one step at night, he would have been caught by the soldiers. However, staying in the cellar was not a long-term solution. After all, food was limited. Now we are worried about this. Hey, those soldiers who dared to die, just stand at the entrance of the cellar. How do we open the cellar? Hey, I want to kill them all..."
Kong Liang also said angrily: "That's right, it's best to kill them all! Look, I'll kill them directly to the county government and kill Zhao De and let him go to the ground to accompany his brother. By the way, there's that shitty county magistrate!"
Ximen Qing raised his eyebrows and immediately had an idea in his mind.
"Haha, Kong Liang has a good idea, just do it!" Ximen Qing said with a loud laugh, narrowing his eyes slightly, and a trace of murderous intent flashed.
"Uh? Really?" Kong Liang just said casually, without expecting that Ximen Qing would agree with it with all his strength. This made Kong Liang very happy and said hatefully: "Emperor Yi, I am the leader and let me kill Zhao De with my own hands!"
"Second brother, stop making trouble!" Kong Ming glared at Kong Liang.
Shi Qian also frowned and said, "Emperor Yi, don't reward the Mang. It's not easy to attack the county government. Now there are soldiers in the city who are searching. Before we even arrived at the county government, we were probably discovered!"
Yang Lin also replied: "Yes, Emperor Yi, it doesn't matter if we die, but the most important thing is to rescue Brother Song Jiang!"
Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi also responded quickly.
Ximen Qing smiled and said, "I didn't say I wanted to kill into the county government!"
"Oh?" Everyone was stunned, looked at each other and looked at each other.
Ximen Qing said again: "Now there are soldiers guarding the Songjiazhuang. It is almost impossible for us to rescue Brother Gongming. After all, we have limited personnel. And we are still in Yuncheng County. Even if we succeed, we will be caught in a jar! So I plan to surround Wei and save Zhao. We pretend to attack the county government, so that the county magistrate is panicked and then mobilize troops to protect ourselves. If there is a gap at that time, it is just suitable for us to rescue Brother Gongming. However, the plan between these must be appropriate. There must be no omissions. If there is any deviation, it will affect all brothers!"
"Your Emperor Yi said it, we all believe you. Even if you die, you won't be afraid. Just look at the order!" Shi Qian was happy when he heard that Ximen Qing had a solution and said hurriedly. He and the people in Shijia Village were saved by Ximen Qing, so he always regarded Ximen Qing as his benefactor. So he died for Ximen Qing, so he would not frown, let alone act according to Ximen Qing's orders.
Others also nodded in agreement.
When so many brothers support you, believe in you wholeheartedly and don’t care about death, do you have anything to ask for? Ximen Qing is gone! At this time, Ximen Qing is glad for his rebirth and his new life. If you live again, you will be enough to have these good brothers even if you die!
Ximen Qing pursed her lips and nodded, then roared, saying, "Okay, brothers, believe me so much, I, Ximen Qing, promise not to let you suffer any harm!" After saying that, Ximen Qing said to Shi Qian: "Brother Shi Qian, your light skills are the best. Please sneak to the county government tonight and burn the county government to fire it. It is best to make the fire bigger! It's only half an hour! In half an hour, you must return here!"
Shi Qian said: "Okay, I'll leave the fire to me. Hehe, I'll guarantee to complete the task!"
Ximen Qing nodded and said to Yang Lin: "Brother Yang, you and Shi Qian are at the same time, but you are not going to burn the yamen, but to burn the residences of the chief clerk and the county magistrates. Humph, these corrupt officials deserve to die, remember to bring more sesame oil! Similarly, you only have half an hour to gather here!"
Yang Linjiān smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, leave it to me!"
Then, Ximen Qing looked at Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu, then asked with a smile: "Little Brother, 1 Xiaoqi Brother, how about I ask you to kill Zhao De? Go and send him to hell to see his brother?"
Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi looked at each other and nodded repeatedly. Ruan Xiaoer hurriedly said, "I made a letter of surrender and promised to kill Zhao De! Grandma, if he hadn't led his troops to Chao's mansion to arrest people at that time, there wouldn't have been so many troubles. I would have wanted to kill him long ago! Don't worry, Emperor Yi, my brother promised to complete it within half an hour!"
"Okay! Then Zhao De will be handed over to you!" Ximen Qing said, then looked at Kong Ming and Kong Liang, and then said, "Kong Ming, Kong Liang, you two are ready to meet Zhu Quan, and borrow eight pieces from him, no, borrow ten military uniforms, and wait here after they are done."
Kong Ming and Kong Liang's eyes lit up, and they realized that they had fully understood Ximen Qing's plan. Kong Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, leave it to us brothers!"
Then Ximen Qing stood up and said solemnly: "Okay, that's the plan. Then we will act at midnight tonight at 3 o'clock. If there is any change at that time, the brothers will act according to the opportunity. But you must remember that you must meet here in half an hour. Never be greedy for anything else and waste time. Brothers, if you delay a little, we will be in danger! Please remember!"
Everyone clasped their fists and said in unison: "Don't worry, Emperor Yi!"
