Chapter 124: Chao Gai's Suspicion
I think what a hero Shi Wengong is, with excellent martial arts skills. Since he is a hidden weapon and has cut off the rope and escaped, how could he not beat Duan Jingzhu, a golden retriever who is naked?
Moreover, it seems that Shi Wengong's chest and abdomen are almost slit, and Duan Jingzhu only has a scar on his chest, which makes it even more unreasonable. It's impossible for Shi Wengong to be crazy and stab himself to death first, and then stab Duan Jingzhu to death with a knife?
There are many doubts.
But there is no actual evidence.
Ximen Qing didn't say anything, but just glanced at the Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai. The other leaders were also talking about it. In addition to expressing suspicion, they were more shocked.
Everyone drinks in front of you, and then you can have such a thing happen!
Can you still drink and eat meat and sleep with peace of mind in the future?
"Send additional personnel to patrol." Chao Gai, the king of Tota, calmly ordered: "At the end of this matter, the bodies of the two were burned and Duan Jingzhu's brothers were taken away."
"Early in the morning of the morning, the entire army will set off and return to the mountain village."
As soon as this sentence was said, Zhiduoxing Wu Yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the other leaders nodded repeatedly to say yes.
At this point, drinking was not interesting. Everyone dispersed in a dirt state. Wu Song whispered to Ximen Qing: "Brother, there is something wrong with this."
"I know." Ximen Qing touched the mutton fat jade pendant on his waist and said, "There is a big problem in this matter, but it is an internal affairs of Liangshan. King Chao should not act rashly before he spoke."
Wu Song nodded and went away. Chao Gai passed by Ximen Qing thoughtfully, and seemed to accidentally leave a sentence: "Go to my tent and call the Scarface Tiger."
Ximen Qing nodded in slightest, as a response, and Chao Gai, the King of Tota, went there with satisfaction.
"Chao Gai is indeed not an ignorant person, and he also saw the problem." Ximen Qing thought: "Shi Wengong was the scar-faced tiger Liu Renzhong and tied it up. Whether there is any hidden weapon? No one knows better than Liu Renzhong. This is probably why Chao Gai called Liu Renzhong over."
"I've seen the big leader." Liu Tuozi, a scar-faced tiger, sang a fat look at Chao Gai with a scent of alcohol, and he must have drunk a lot.
Ximen Qing coughed beside him and said, "Liu Tuozi, the big leader wants to ask you something, say whatever you know, and never hide it."
Liu Renzhong heard this and suddenly woke up a little bit, even hunched his back: "The leader, the youngest ones say something, but there is no lie."
"Scarface Tiger, Shi Wengong is dead just now." Chao Gai glanced at Ximen Qing and said to Liu Renzhong: "I call you here, I will only ask one question, you must tell the truth. This matter is of great importance. Don't tell anyone what I ask about you."
Liu Renzhong's body trembled and his eyes looked at Ximen Qing: "Is Shi Wengong dead?"
Ximen Qing said softly: "The person is dead, you don't need to think about this."
Liu Renzhong then lowered his head and bowed, "What do you want to ask the villain?"
"When Shi Wengong was arrested, you tied it up." Chao Gai, the king of Tota, asked: "Have you found a sharp weapon in Shi Wengong?"
Liu Ren patted his head again so that his thoughts could emerge from the wine: "Let me think about it."
"For example, a sharp knife or something?" Looking at Liu Renzhong's serious reflection, Chao Gai added another sentence.
Liu Ren thought twice before he replied with certainty: "No, no weapon."
"Sure?"
"Sure."
The eyes of the King of Tota Chao Gai flashed. He didn't know what to think, and the tent suddenly became quiet.
Ximen Qing watched coldly. Although Chao Gai looked very calm on the surface, his hands holding the armrest of the chair trembled slightly under his sleeves, revealing his inner struggle.
Ximen Qing even felt that he could hear the wood on the handrail being breathless under the pressure of Chao Gai.
"Okay, you go down." Chao Gai loosened his shoulders and waved his hand to let Liu Tuozi go down: "Remember, you have never been here after leaving this door."
Although Liu Renzhong, the Scarfaced Tiger Liu Renzhong, didn't know what Chao Gai asked about this, he also knew that Shi Wengong's death was definitely not that simple, so he looked at Ximen Qing, hoping to get a hint.
Ximen Qing nodded slightly: "If you go down, the brothers outside are waiting for you to drink. After leaving this door, you will have nothing to do."
Liu Tuozi then secretly breathed a sigh of relief and bowed out.
There were only two people in the tent, including the Heavenly King Chao Gai and Ximen Qing, and the atmosphere suddenly became even more dull.
Chao Gai looked at the fire on the oil lamp in front of him. Because Liu Tuozi was a little unsteady when he went out, he raised his hand and gently closed the wind, allowing the fire to stabilize again, and sighed a long time.
Ximen Qing did not speak, but waited quietly for Chao Gai to speak and get the answer from Liu Renzhong. Chao Gai now had a trace of doubt about Wu Yong, rather than being smart enough to win the birthday gift. That was the complete trust.
If the King of Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai really thought about it, I am afraid that he would have thought of Song Jiang behind Wu Yong now. Even Chao Gai, the lord of the mountain village, dared to deceive him, and Wu Yong was definitely not fighting alone.
"The people's hearts are dispersed, and it's hard to lead the team." Chao Gai raised his eyes and looked ahead and said, "This time I finally came out and brought all the old brothers with me, but I didn't expect it to be..."
I'll just go, isn't this the line in that movie?
Ximen Qing recalled the movie, shaking his head and sighing while stating this famous saying, and the situation in front of him was really similar.
"When we were wise to take the birthday gift, the seven of us became brothers, how united we were..." Chao Gai's words were hidden: "But now..."
Seeing the way that the king of Tota was Chao Gai was stopped, Ximen Qing comforted: "Why should a brother of the Heavenly King be discouraged? As the saying goes, people will see their hearts when they are big. When the copycat is big, there will always be people who will not change. My brother has always been generous and loyal first, but after all, as the master of the copycat, you should be more careful about some things."
Chao Gai smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Those old brothers didn't see it, but you didn't expect that you could see it. I just don't understand why I had to kill Shi Wengong and even live with a golden retriever Duan Jing?"
"Brother Tianwang might as well think about it carefully. In fact, the truth is often hidden in these things." Ximen Qing said slowly. Since Chao Gai has begun to doubt Wu Yong, it is just right to guide Chao Gai to think slowly. Chao Gai will definitely be more careful about the "recruitment plan" that Song Jiang was preparing to implement.
Even if Chao Gai wants to recruit peace one day, Ximen Qing will try his best to stop it. After recruiting the imperial court, he will definitely disperse the leaders on the mountain. Ximen Qing wants to use Liangshan as his backhand and hidden power plan, wouldn’t it be ruined?
Of course, whether it is a novel or the contact with Chao Gai these days, Ximen Qing felt that Chao Gai was absolutely disgusted with the amnesty.
Chao Gai sighed heavily and leaned on the back of the chair and said, "I don't want to think about some things. If I think too much, I'm afraid I'll be full of doubts. In the future, how can I be the lord of this copycat in front of the public... brothers?"
Ximen Qing browsed when he heard this. Chao Gai inadvertently spit out the word "gong" and then quickly changed his words. He must have wanted to say the word "gongming". His surname was Song's name, Jiang's name was Gongming. What Chao Gai really wanted to say was Song Jiang's black three fat fat!
"Brother, you said I gave the lord of the mountain village to you, what do you think?" Chao Gai suddenly looked up at Ximen Qing and asked, "I also said when I was dying by the arrow: Whoever caught me and let him be the lord of the mountain village in Liangshan."
"No." Ximen Qing bowed and refused: "Brother, everyone is convinced by everyone. I am just an outsider. If I really become the leader of the village, I am afraid that everyone will be exposed in less than seven or eight days."
"What's more, did the King of Heaven forget that I didn't catch the cold arrow?"
Chao Gai said "Yes" and said, "My brother is right. He originally captured Shi Wengong alive, but he wanted to ask some questions. Unexpectedly, Shi Wengong died bizarrely, so there is no way to ask."
Seeing Chao Gai's attitude, he was hindering his brotherly relationship and obviously didn't want to pursue it. Ximen Qing couldn't lead him to Wu Yong and Song Jiang anymore. After all, both Shi Wengong and Duan Jingzhu were killed by Wu Yong, and an iron arrow engraved with Shi Wengong could not prove anything.
Chao Gai changed the topic again and said, "Brother, I see that Liu Tuozi is respectful to you. It is not like the old scene before, and I don't know what method did you use to make those thorny soldiers listen to your orders?"
"It's just to meet his preferences." Ximen Qing smiled and said, "Brother Tianwang said this. Could it be that Liu Tuozi had committed something before?"
Speaking of this, Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai laughed and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that he doesn't accept discipline. Liu Tuozi is a famous thorn in the village. He has pulled a group of people all day long. He either asks people to gamble money all over the mountain, or secretly kills the cows and sheep that are kept in the village to make teeth sacrifices."
"This guy was originally a personal soldier under Qin Ming, and now even Qin Ming can't control him. He just gambled with a knife when he disagrees, so the leaders on the mountain didn't easily mess with him."
"Fortunately, my brother took over this group of thorny troops, which can be regarded as a way to save a disaster for the copycat."
Ximen Qing smiled and said, "Brother Tianwang doesn't know anything, but Liu Tuozi is quite good at fighting. I took them into his personal army and found the treasure."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Chao Gai was surprised after hearing this: "No wonder my brother can defeat five by one in Fahua Temple!"
"It's really impossible without them." Ximen Qing nodded and said, "There are many capable people in the parable, why don't you value Brother Tianwang?"
The king of Tota, Chao Gai smiled and said, "My brother is talking about the sick Yuchi Sunli? I know that this person is skilled in archery and horses, but before, he was the virtuous brother Gongming who was commanding the army, and he had never brought Sunli brothers with him when he went to war. Otherwise, with his skills, he would have made great contributions long ago, so why wait until now?"
Speaking of this, Chao Gai suddenly woke up and nodded, "My brother, you have a good reminder. These capable people will use them when they return to the clerk!"
Seeing that Chao Gai had awakened, Ximen Qing stopped talking, and after chatting for a few gossips, he stood up and said goodbye.
"My brother is going to rest, I have to think about some things again."
