Chapter 1192 Killing and killing hearts, Cai Jing's poisonous plan
When the timid brother Yun was taken away again by the servants of Cai's house, except for Gao Qiu, Tong Guan's face still looked a little hesitant. Cai Jing brought the pear seller from Yanggu County to testify that Xiao Tang was this person. Tong Guan knew very well that Cai Jing knew what he was doing, and he should have full confidence in dealing with the Xiaotang kid this time. However, Tong Guan and Gao Qiu also had other concerns. It was somewhat similar, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it: Xiao Tang's fellow was highly valued by the government, but he wanted to engage in such a heinous and treasonous act. What was he trying to do?
Anyone who can compete for official status and fame in the court, especially close ministers like Xiao Tang who can also please the officials, are definitely not fools who are ignorant of worldly affairs. The current situation in the world does not seem to be like this. Like the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the king's flag changed on the city wall. When subordinates developed power, they had the opportunity to support their own troops and subvert the country without their masters. Today, Zuo of the Song Dynasty has lasted for more than 150 years, and the people under his rule have long recognized the Zhao family. The Song Dynasty was orthodox, and it also pursued centralized power in military and political affairs. It strengthened the weak branches and strengthened the weak branches. Even the ministers with high status in the military thought that rebellion could be successful in this situation, unless they were crazy.
Tong Guan thought that Xiao Tang had enemies with himself, Gao Qiu, Cai Jing and other powerful officials of the time because the child was arrogant and arrogant because of the temporary favor he received. In fact, he was just a military minister who didn't know what he was doing. As a rule, he had to be controlled by the imperial court. Tong Guan himself didn't take the young and careless boy seriously, but now he realized that Xiao Tang not only wanted to fight against them, the imperial predators, but also even Secretly pulling together several rebel troops against the imperial court in the green forest, Jiaotong Guan couldn't help but feel very surprised and surprised. Even if Xiao Tang was arrogant, he could still pick out someone to play against him. He also How could you be so stupid?
"This son of Xiaotang is such a delusional person, and I am very surprised. But today, since the prime minister and the prince are invited to come here to bring order to the country and get rid of this traitor with evil intentions, I am fully confident that I can teach this person The rebellious ministers who betrayed the emperor and the country were exposed."
Three locks of beard and beard fluttered slightly under his chin. Cai Jing's eyes passed over Tong Guan's face, and he immediately muttered: "Quan Yu, the leader of the Shandong anti-thief bandits, gathered the thieves' party, and gathered several mountain strong bandits to resist the government. He wears it for daily activities. He wears a Haechi mask to hide his identity, so he is called the "Iron-faced Haechi" among thieves and bandits. However, Quan Yu initially caused trouble, but he teamed up with several bandits to break through the rule of my concubine on Jiangnan East Road. The prison camp in Jiangzhou was robbed. After some inquiries from the old man's subordinates and close confidants, it was found that Xiao Tang left Beijing privately and went south all the way, and had also been to Jiangzhou.
Later, the two grass bandits in Erlong Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain in Qingzhou on Jingdong Road were led by Feng Na, the bandit leader Quan Yu. Yun Tianbiao, the commander of the Jingdong Road Commander's Department of Soldiers and Horses, mobilized officers and soldiers from several states to conquer, but failed, and instead suffered a huge defeat. Qingzhou Magistrate Murong Yanda also He abandoned the city and fled, asking his sister to ask the officials to appoint him to other military prefectures. After that, the strong bandits from the two mountains mobilized troops to attack Zengtou City under the rule of Dezhou, Hebei Province, and gained several new thieves from Jingxi Road to join him. Two mountain bandits invaded the town... When Xiao Tang's son appeased Jingnan Road, although he defeated the bungalow bandits and several mountain bandits, he spared the thieves who gathered in Funiu Mountain and Xiong'er Mountain, and seemed to have joined forces with the Qingzhou bandits. There is a deep relationship between the grassroots bandits in western Beijing who captured Zengtou City..."
Cai Jing said leisurely, then turned to Tong Guan and said: "And Xiao Tang also served as deputy envoy when Tong Shu was sent to the Liao Kingdom by official imperial decree that year. During this period, he was ordered to go to the north to purchase northern goods. On the way to Zhuzhou, he was ambushed by rebels. The imperial court thought that he had been killed in Liaodong. During this period, Xiao Tang's whereabouts were unknown. At that time, Quan Yu, the leader of several mountain bandits, led his troops to defeat several state troops and horses on Jingdong Road, and led several mountain bandits to defeat Zeng Tou. City...Do you still remember, Prime Minister Tong, that among the personal entourage who accompanied Xiao Tang on his mission to the Liao Kingdom, there was one named Shi Jin?"
Tong Guanjian said that he was slightly startled. Although Xiao Tang had many personal followers, most of them were from rivers and lakes, so they could not get into the eyes of his concubine. Among them, there is indeed a man often called Shi Dalang who once competed with Qiong Yao Nayan, a general in the Falcon Army under the Nanjing Military Command of the Liao Dynasty. The competition between the two was very fierce at that time, and it also taught Tong Guan to this day. I still have some impression of Shi Dalang.
At this time, Cai Jing said slowly: "Shi Jin, Xiao Tang's crony, was originally from Huayin County, Huazhou. Because he asked a craftsman to tattoo his body, he was called Jiuwen in the local area. Long Shijin was later recommended to the Xiaojiaji of Daming Prefecture to worship Wang Jin, the former instructor of the Bianjing Forbidden Army, as his teacher to learn eighteen kinds of martial arts... Who was Wang Jin, and Captain Gao also knew it well? , then Na Shi went to Bianjing to seek refuge with Xiao Tang, and was favored by him, and he also served as his personal envoy to the Liao Kingdom... What was strange was that just when the court thought that Xiao Tang's son had been killed in Liaodong, Na Shi However, he returned to his hometown and had an affair with the Shaohua Mountain bandits. Later, when the hunters from his village reported it to the government, Huayin County sent troops to surround Shijiazhuang, and Shi Jin and the Shaohua Mountain bandits were defeated. The officers and soldiers abandoned the stronghold and fled.
Apart from Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong and other bandit leaders from the two mountains of Qingzhou, they were all old acquaintances of Xiao Tang. Through the investigation of several military commanders around them, they found out that there was also a leader named Shi Bin who also had a coiled dragon tattoo on his body in the green woods and grass. The reputation is not small. Among the thieves, there are also bandit names called Jumping Tiger and White Flower Snake. They are all bandit leaders who once robbed homes in Shaohua Mountain, Huayin County. Shi Bin, the leader of Zamo, was most likely the one who followed that person back then. Shi Jin, Xiao Tang's son was sent as an envoy to the Liao Dynasty! The Yongxing Army was far away from Jingdong Road. There were anti-civilian and colluded bandits in Huayin County, Huazhou. The files for arresting bandits in various places were complicated, and it was difficult to teach the government officials. The relationship between the rebels and the Qingzhou mountain bandits led by Quan Yu on Jingdong Road was traced.
But if you want others to know, don't do anything. Shi Jin should have been in Liao at that time, but he returned to his hometown and secretly had an affair with Shaohua Mountain. He almost taught Xiao Tang to hide it, but the prime minister led the army to conquer Xia. Not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, my disciple He Taishou was assassinated and killed by a group of gangsters at his official residence in Huazhou. Xiao Tang's son was supposed to return to Beijing with his troops, but he also showed his whereabouts in Huazhou. I heard that Yang Gu After the pear seller in the county gave his oral account, he also thought about the strange behavior of Xiao Tang when he was murdered by a bandit when he was born in Huazhou, so he immediately sent his cronies to rush to the counties under the rule of Huazhou to investigate the origins of the local bandits. Finally, it was discovered that the rebel named Shi Jin had colluded with bandits and fled from Huayin County..."
After listening to Cai Jing's analysis, Tong Guan and Gao Qiu thought that Xiao Tang returned to the Xiaojiaji of Daming Prefecture in the name of mourning for his master. Soon after, Quan Yu, the leader of several mountain bandits, gathered a gang of thieves to break through the Salmon Island prison. In the city camp, Liu Fa, whom Tong Guan had been planning to kill, was missing. Later, he teamed up with the Liangshan Bo gangsters to harass Bozhou, Dongping Prefecture... Daming Prefecture and several other prefectures, which made Gao Qiu gnash his teeth and hate him. It was Gao Lian, the prefect of Gaotang Prefecture, who was killed by the bandits in those mountains. At that time, Quan Yu, the leader of the bandit army, was running rampant. Xiao Tang, who should also be in Qilu territory, was missing. At this time, not only was there a witness , coupled with the evidence that Cai Jingfa paid to verify, Tong Guan and Gao Qiu couldn't help but not believe it.
Tong Guan suddenly stood up, with a gloomy expression on his face, and said in a fierce voice: "That kid Xiao Tang! The officials treated him with great importance, and promoted him to the position of official in the imperial court, so that he could earn money for the country.
, there is nothing wrong with him! This traitor who betrayed the country secretly gathered people to escape and planned to rebel. He really deserved death! Fortunately, Mr. Cai was aware of everything and noticed that Xiao Tang, the traitor, had evil intentions. Now that the evidence is conclusive, he should report it earlier.
Let the officials know, capture Xiao Tang and his gangsters, kill all species, and eliminate the trouble!"
Tong Guan looked ferocious here, and Gao Qiu, who also stood up, had a sinister smile on his face, but Cai Jing was still sitting upright with a very silent expression, and then he slowly shook his head.
, said: "Xiao Tang has failed to live up to his divine grace and has rebelled. He should cleanse the rebels and rebel against the party... But if he wants to report to the Ming government to eliminate this thief, according to my opinion, he should wait until he invites the officials.
After I ordered Xiao Tang, the traitor and traitor, to go to Hangzhou and taught him to personally supervise the execution of Wu Song, the murderer who took my child's life..."
