Chapter 998 There is a strong man at work, Director Hua Rong, please instruct
Xiao Tang was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Liu Fa sigh and said: "Although our soldiers should serve the country with all their loyalty and be loyal to the court, several leaders have been honest and honest. How can I not understand such hardships? But it is Liu who is arrogant. Although you are from the green forest, if you had not attacked this Salmon Island prison camp, Liu would have been persecuted and tortured to death by traitors... Now I am just a thief and a prisoner with the army, and What qualifications do you have to criticize all the big bosses?"
After hearing this, Xiao Tang shook his head and said: "A dragon swims in shallow water and is tricked by shrimps, and a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs. Didn't Liu Jinglue sigh when he heard that Marquis Wu of Zhou (Zhou Bo, the founding general of the Han Dynasty) was falsely accused and imprisoned in the Han Dynasty? I have tried to command millions of troops, but I know how valuable the jailers are. The jailers in the prison are harsh, and they only kill the key people, causing Liu Jinglue to be resented and humiliated... Now that Xie is in trouble, after all, he is also There is no other place to go, so I would like to ask Liu Jinglue to rest in Xiaozhai. After Jiang has recovered, it will not be too late to make plans for the future."
Now, although Liu Fa was no longer very repulsive to the status of Xiao Tang and others as green forest strongmen, after hearing what Xiao Tang said, he still just sneered and said: "Although Liu is not a general who has been passed down for generations, his ancestors have been loyal and loyal for generations. Now that I have fallen into such a predicament, I really cannot repay the great kindness of all the big leaders. I just want to settle down in Guizhai, which is no longer an issue."
Xiao Tang now had the idea of getting Liu Fa to join the bandit. He knew that not only was he unwilling to commit suicide and become a bandit, but he also knew that he did not want to go to the village to avoid disaster because he was afraid of being suspected of being a bandit. Not only because Liu Fa was still He was loyal to the court and also valued his family's reputation. If the news of moving to Green Forest Village to avoid disaster spread, Liu Fa would rather die than harm the descendants of his Liu family, so he sighed to Liu Fa again: " Liu Jinglue, if you had died on the battlefield in the side court and Tong Guan had lied about your military exploits and framed his colleagues without any proof, you would not have embarrassed your family again. But now you are being coerced into sending troops, and Tong Guan is framed for the crime. It has been spread in the army for a long time that the young master has been secretly appointed to the third squadron, and Tong Guan wants to cut down the tree and dig out the roots. Wouldn't he criticize the young master and eliminate the hidden danger?"
Liu Fa's face changed dramatically when he heard this. Xiao Tang's words had directly touched the most worrying thing in his heart. Liu Fa also knew very well that his son Liu Zhengyan was indecisive and lacked strategy. Knowing that he is also a military attache in the Western Army, how can the eunuch, who is seeking to harm himself first, deal with the hidden danger of treating him as a mortal enemy? It would be too light to promote him if he is not reused, and I am afraid he will have to eradicate the roots...
Xiao Tang also knew very well that although in the official history, Liu Zhengyan's Miao-Liu rebellion was involved in rebellion, and Liu Fa's father and son were responsible for it, and the biographies recording his military exploits and deeds were also erased from the Song history, but the current Liu Fa naturally also He didn't know that his son would still cheat his father many years after his death. Tong Guan had harmed him first. If he wanted to eliminate the trouble of his own son Liu Zhengyan, how could Liu Fa be willing to let Quan rape him? die?
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Tang then said to Liu Fa: "If Liu Jinglue dies, everything will be over. And if you leak your whereabouts again, Tong Guan will definitely not spare you. From what I see, Liu Jinglue should also remain useful. , I respect Xun's wisdom, and naturally I will not let Liu Jinglue bear the reputation of being an enemy of the imperial court. I will definitely not make it public about asking Xun to go to Xiaozhai to avoid trouble, and if Tong Guan is still going to do evil... ...I think Liu Jinglue also knew very well that even if his colleagues and old friends in the army wanted to help, they would be powerless. But I and other people in the green forest don't have so many scruples."
When Liu Fa heard this, he suddenly raised his head and stared straight at Xiao Tang. How could he have expected that these green forest grass bandits, who were supposed to be at odds with him, would now become his only hope?
After a while, Liu Fa let out a long sigh and said: "Liu was not acquainted with the people in the green forest, but I didn't expect that he would be so favored by all the big leaders. I heard that Liu was a matchmaker and helped him righteously. This kindness is extremely grateful."
Grateful...Liu bowed and asked himself, he really didn't want to take his life. Now it seems...he has no choice but to shamelessly ask all the big bosses to take him in..."
After sighing, Liu Fa felt a sudden relief in his heart. After being tortured in the prison camp for several days, he was physically and mentally exhausted. He just cheered up and did not want to show his cowardice in front of these green forest strongmen. Now Liu Fa no longer
Perseverance, the huge boulder that seemed to be weighing on his heart suddenly disappeared. As soon as his spirit relaxed, Liu Fa immediately fainted and fell unconscious.

After taking out the books and records from the prison barracks, which were marked with the crimes that all the prisoners in the prison were assigned to because of their crimes, Sun Ding, who was a criminal in the Kaifeng Prefecture and had experience in solving cases, reviewed them one by one.
, they selected nearly half of the prisoners in the prison camp who had been framed and sentenced to death. The brothers under Xiao Tang also searched the rooms of the prison camp owners, jailers, and provincial officials on Salmen Island.
The wealth of more than 3,000 yuan was also paid to those prisoners who had relatives staying in their hometowns and therefore did not want to leave the country as payment for their travel expenses. They promised to help them cross the sea and land, and then let the prisoners find their own way.
Return home. As for those criminals who did commit capital crimes or even serious crimes, but whose sentences were reduced by one level and were sent here, brothers Shi Xiu, Zhu Jing and other brothers ordered the military officers to execute them on the spot.
Although the prison camp on Salmon Island was broken by Xiao Tang and his brothers, all the prisoners in the prison were still guilty and were afraid that they would still be arrested by the Yamen. Therefore, many of the remaining prisoners had no way out.
After leaving, they were saved by the green forest heroes from the two mountains of Qingzhou. Seeing the generosity and righteousness of the leaders of the mountains, they were all willing to defect to the village and join the gang. Xiao Tang temporarily incorporated these prisoners into Sun Xin, Gu
Sister-in-law, Zou Yuan, and Zou Run were under the command of the leader. Immediately after the troops and horses of the various units were gathered again, they headed to the coast where the ships were parked.
As for those prisoners who were wrongfully framed and finally escaped, although each of them dragged their disabled body, they were eager to return home. After Xiao Tang ordered his military officers to pay them water and dry food, they gained strength.
, the journey was not hindered at all, and the green forest soldiers and horses led by Xiao Tang soon arrived at the coast. After the three heroes of the Ruan family, Zhang Shun and other navy leaders took the lead, they arranged for the rescued prisoners to board the newly captured water fish knife boat.
After all the troops from the third battalion boarded the ship, they immediately rocked the oars and sailed straight to the coast of Penglai County in the south...
A few days later, more than 30 prisoners who were bound and gagged with sackcloth appeared out of thin air at the yamen gates of Muping County, Dengzhou, and even Ye County under Laizhou to the east. They also had stickers on their bodies.
The crimes they committed. Although the crime did not lead to death, they were not innocent prisoners in the original prison camp on Salmon Island. Instead, they were secretly returned to the officials who passed through the realm by the leaders sent by Xiao Tang.
Menfu Yamen...
The magistrates of Muping County, Ye County and other places immediately interrogated these military prisoners severely. When they learned that the green forest strongmen from Erlong Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain in Qingzhou crossed the sea and boarded Salmon Island to kill the village owners in the prison camp, imprisoned them, and restrained them.
Officials such as senior officials and other officials only said that they were trying to rescue their sworn brothers who had been captured and sent away by the government. Knowing that this matter was not trivial, they immediately reported it to the local prefecture government office, and even appointed some criminal and prison officials on Jingdong East Road, as well as those in charge of military and political affairs.
The residence of the general manager of the military affairs.
Salmon Island is under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou, and Dengzhou is a military state under Jingdong East Road. The strong man who governs the military state boundary makes such a big noise. All major events must be reported to the Jingdong East Road Administration immediately.
The military governors in various places under the command have banned the troops, and the commander-in-chief of the army and horses has the power to control the army, supervise the arrest of thieves and other responsibilities.
As a result, the news that Quan Yu, the leader of the grass bandits on Jingdong Road, led troops from Qingzhou and two mountains to break through Salmon Island, soon reached Hua Rong, who had just taken up his post and was also the sworn brother of Xiao and Tang.
