In the inn where Xiao Tang was staying in Jiangzhou, Dai Zong was invited by Xiao Tang, and the waiter led him upstairs. "Originally, Dai Zong thought that Xiao Tang was preparing to return to Bianjing, so he invited him to have a drink with him, as if Dai Zong
Walking into the guest room with a smile on his face, he clasped his fists towards Xiao Tang and said: "For Xiao Renxia to practice, it is natural that Xiao Ke should come to entertain him, so how can he ask Xiao Renxia for bad money?"
But at this time Dai Zong also noticed that Yan Qing, Shi Xiu and Zhang Shun who came to Jiangzhou with Xiao Tang were not present, and when they came, Xiao Tang hinted that he should not call Li Kui to come with him. This seemed to be for other reasons.
Let's talk things over, right?
Seeing Dai Zong's doubtful expression, Xiao Tang just smiled and said, "Dean Dai, please sit down and talk."
After Dai Zong thanked him and sat down, Xiao Tang just chatted with Dai Zong about some trivial matters. He only waited until there was no one around the guest room and was sure that no one else was listening, then he said to Dai Zong: "Dean Dai, it's all thanks to your care this time.
I will not let Mr. Tang suffer all kinds of hardships in the prison camp. I, Xiao Tang, will keep this favor in mind, and I will give a toast to the dean."
Dai Zong hurriedly waved his hands and said: "What is Xiao Renxia talking about? Although I, Dai Zong, am just a small official in Jiangzhou Laocheng Camp, I also attach great importance to the loyalty of the Jianghu! Let alone Xiao Renxia, who is so extravagant and sheltered, he is just an ordinary Jianghu hero.
It is my duty to support you, Dai Zong!"
Xiao Tang saw that Dai Zong was gradually drifting off into the alley, so he added: "Yes, Dean Dai is of course a righteous person who cares about heroes in the world, so... I have another thing to ask of Dean Dai."
After hearing this, Dai Zong hurriedly said: "Xiao Renxia, why are you and I so polite? If you have something to say, it's okay to say it. I, Dai Zong, will never shirk!"
Xiao Tang did not speak after hearing this. Instead, he took out a box from the side. When Xiao Tang opened the box, Dai Zong saw fifty yellow gold pieces of garlic placed in front of his eyes. Dai Zong's expression changed and he said: "Xiao Renxia
,What does this mean!?"
Xiao Tang smiled faintly and said directly: "Dean Dai and I talked straightforwardly and no longer made any detours. I respect Li Zhi, who was framed by Liang Shicheng and imprisoned, as an upright and down-to-earth man.
I couldn't bear to see him tortured and die innocently. So I came up with the idea of rescuing him. Dean Dai was working in the prison camp. If he wanted to save him, Li Zhi would inevitably get into trouble with Dean Dai, so he asked Dai
Dean, please be patient and let me rescue that Li Zhi."
"What!?" Dai Zong stood up and said in surprise: "Xiao Renxia, you are the Marquis of Yu, the Commander-in-Chief of the palace, and you also hold an important position in Bianjing. How come you don't know that escaping from prison is a major crime against the imperial court!
?Then if Li Zhi has no friendship with you, why would you bother to risk your life to save him in such a dangerous situation!?"
"Then what crime is Li Zhi guilty of?" Xiao Tang said: "Dean Dai, you and I are both people who are trying to thwart the officialdom, so how can we not know how powerful people and evil spirits can harm innocent and good people? Dai Yuan
The elder is also a person who cares about the morality of the world. Although Li Zhi and I did not know each other before, and no one came to save his life, can I, Xiao Tang, not be able to save him? "
Dai Zong's face was gloomy and uncertain, his thoughts were complicated and hesitant. When he looked at the fifty ingots of garlic gold, he was looking at the extremely hot potato. Although he was willing to make friends with Xiao Tang, how could he have imagined that Xiao Tang would be so bold and reckless?
, abandoning his official status and name, but risking the danger of being an enemy of the imperial court to rescue an unknown person?
That’s not what Jianghu loyalty is about! What’s more, if you want to rob the Jiangzhou prison camp, how can you not implicate me, the prison guard of the two houses!?
Just when Dai Zong was about to evade politely and persuade Xiao Tang to stop, he heard Xiao Tang say again: "Dean Dai, I am asking you to 'let' me save people, not to 'help' me save people." What Xiao Tang said What I’m begging for is not to ask Dean Dai to do something, but to ask Dean Dai not to do anything.”
Dai Zongwen was startled, and then asked Xiao Tang: "What does Xiao Renxia mean by this?"
Xiao Tang said calmly: "I just ask Dean Dai to tell me where Li Zhi and I are being detained in the prison camp, and also ask Dean Dai to pretend to be sick and recuperate these days. The rest will be done by me. I sent people to do it, and it would never involve Dean Dai. Dean Dai also knew that my act of robbed Yuhou, the commander of the palace, was unbelievable. How could others guess that it was on my head, but Xiao Mou was exposed? Whether or not Li Zhi can avoid being framed by traitors all depends on Dean Dai's thoughts."
Dai Zong was speechless for a moment, and he frowned into the word "Chuan" and thought in a muffled voice. For this Jiangzhou Prison Camp and Prison Ward, Xiao Tang said that he would clean up his place and let him turn a blind eye. The request to turn a blind eye was indeed a bit overwhelming, but Xiao Tang believed that he could possibly persuade Dai Zong, and at least he would not worry that Dai Zong would inform the government and reveal his plan to rob the prison.
Although Dai Zong admired Song Jiang's reputation in the book, he had only known him for a short time. At that time, Cai Jiu, the magistrate, regarded Dai Zong as a confidant because he knew the "magic method". It stands to reason that Dai Zong had the opportunity to enter and leave Cai Jing's mansion. If he really Imagine that Zaixiantongpan Huang Wenbing, who was dedicated to making friends with powerful people and had a strong desire for promotion, took advantage of the opportunity to rise up in the officialdom. Dai Zong would not have waited for Wu Yong to earn Xiao Rang. Jin Dajian went to Liangshan to forge Cai Jing's family letters. He could have asked himself again His immediate superior, Cai Jiu, told Song Jiang that he was indeed collaborating with the Liangshan bandits. Wasn't this a great achievement for Dai Zong?
For example, Song Jiang, a minor official in the Escort Department of Yuncheng County, Jeju, informed Chao Gai and others after the birthday announcement and told them to flee; Just like Huarong of the vice-zhizhai village who snatched the wanted Song Jiang from Liu Gao of the Zhengzhizhai village, from the perspective of "fulfilling their duties" as court officials, they indeed put their personal emotions above the express laws, but they were too busy being The dangers of dismissal from office or even accountability are not for the purpose of abusing power for personal gain or colluding with officials and gangsters to seek benefits. These heroes' view of right and wrong is obviously inclined to the morality of the world, and Dai Zong is the same.
Among the 108 generals in Liangshan, there are all kinds of people, including the lustful Wang Ying, the heart-eating Yan Shun, and Zhang Qing, Sun Erniang and his wife, Li Li, Zhu Gui and others who were originally on the track to open a black shop and kill innocent people. But the reason why they The reason why we can reunite with other heroes is that they have not committed the "evil deed" that is most intolerable to heroes in the green forest: betraying their fellow Jianghu comrades.
Even these cruel and violent villains followed the rules of Green Forest Road and sacrificed their lives to protect the like-minded brothers Zhou Quan, just like Yan Shun, Wang Ying and others robbed the prison car to rescue Song Jiang and Hua Rong; Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang helped to splatter the Yuanyang Tower with blood Wu Song changed his appearance and helped him go to Erlong Mountain.
Among the 108 generals, only Wei Chi, Sun Li, betrayed his fellow disciple Luan Tingyu in order to help Liangshan capture Zhujiazhuang. According to his military record, he was clearly comparable to the Eight Hussars, but he was also beaten to the first level of the Disha Piandao General. , I'm afraid it has a lot to do with his indelible black spots. (As for Bai Sheng, the day rat who was severely tortured by the government for his birthday, it was because the governor had revealed the name of the real owner Chao Gai and asked him to When he had six other accomplices, Bai Shengcai only recognized Chao Gai, while he fought the other three Ruan heroes, Liu Tang and others to death from beginning to end without betraying his brothers.)
Although Dai Zong is a prisoner of the two houses of the Prison Camp, his concept of right and wrong, and his principles of conduct are obviously in favor of the green forest. If he betrays Xiao Tang, the most popular person in the world, for the sake of his official career, he will immediately
He would be reviled and hated by all the heroes in the world, his spine would be pierced, and he would even wish to cut him into pieces and kill him quickly. Dai Zong would never accept this.
What's more, Xiao Tang didn't want to drag him into trouble. He just asked him to pretend to be sick and recuperate while being imprisoned, so as to temporarily avoid the limelight. After Xiao Tang led his people to rescue Li Zhi, he could still hold on to his job in Jiangzhou officialdom. Everything
Everything remains the same.
Although Dai Zong was unwilling in his heart, Xiao Tang had already said it to this extent. If he continued to shirk his words, it would appear that he was a fearless gangster who was afraid of official power and authority. After a while, Dai Zong let out a long sigh.
, said: "Xiao Renxia has really made up his mind?"
Seeing Xiao Tang nodded firmly, Dai Zong stood up and said, "Since I'm sick, I will send someone to the government office to report my illness. I only said that I am seriously ill and need to rest for a while. Tieniu, that black guy, I
I will also find a way to get him away, so as not to meet Xiao Renxia's brother's sword... I just ask Xiao Renxia to wait for a few days if he wants to take action, so as not to be suspected when he arrives.
"
Dai Zong took another look at the fifty yellow garlic gold bars in the box on the table. He grinned and said, "Xiao Renxia is willing to take great risks just to rescue the simple Li Zhi for the sake of loyalty. To be fair,
Although I, Dai Zong, don’t want to cause trouble and burn myself, I can’t help but praise your righteous deeds of sacrificing my life to help you when you see injustice on the road. You are worthy of being praised on the road as a figure like Hu Baoyi in Hebei Province and Xiao Renxia in Jianghu! If I accept your gold, I will become a hero again.
What kind of person is he?”
After saying that, Dai Zong hurriedly bowed his hand to Xiao Tang and left without looking at the golden garlic bars again.
