Chapter 79: Song Jiang's Transformation
The next day, at midnight, the sky was dark, overcast clouds covered the sun, and a light rain fell from the sky.
In the Yuncheng County government office, Zhang Wenyuan's arms were grabbed by two government officials, and he howled and shouted: "The county magistrate is unfair. Even if I have an entanglement with that Yan Poxi, it is because we are in love, but what does it have to do with Song Jiang's killing?
Your Majesty, the county magistrate, confuses right and wrong in this way, and you are in vain as a parent of the county."
The county magistrate, Shi Wenbin, was sitting high on the county magistrate's chair. Hearing Zhang Wenyuan's shouting, he became furious and slapped the table: "You are the only one who behaves dissolutely. No one in the county knows about it. You and Yan Poxi have an affair, but they say they are in love with each other. It's really a bad situation."
Shameless; if Song Jiang kills someone, this county will make its own judgment, and you are not allowed to comment on it; throw it out and beat me hard."
Zhang Wenyuan was dragged outside the hall by two government officials, took off his coat and tied him to a tiger bench. The killing stick fell on his skin and flesh, beating him to pieces, and there were bursts of ghost cries and wolf howls.
Yan Po in the hall saw this situation, how could she withstand it, and last night she got two hundred taels of snowflake silver from Song Qing, so she kowtowed and said: "Your Excellency, I will not sue Song Yasi anymore."
Already."
After saying this, there was a burst of noise in front of the Yamen. Two men stood behind the crowd. One of them said: "Brother Shi Xiu, how can Song Jiang be convicted if there is no accuser? If he is really acquitted, it is not the Young Master's fault.
plan of."
The other person smiled slightly and responded: "Brother Zhu Fu, let's be optimistic. No matter what, it is a fact that Song Yasi killed someone. There are all the witnesses and physical evidence. It cannot be washed away. Only at this time, the county magistrate and the Manxian Yamen
Everyone looks at each other, and most of them are guilty of serious crimes and receive light sentences, so they can be assigned to serve in a more comfortable state capital."
As if to confirm the conversation between the two, County Magistrate Shi Wenbin in the hall took a picture of the gavel and said loudly: "Although Yan Po did not complain, Song Jiang's murder has become a fact, so the county pronounced a sentence of 20 sticks on Song Jiang.
Immediately assassinate Jiangzhou Prison City."
Song Jiang in the audience breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly confessed his crime. After all, his life was saved. Jiangzhou was also a good place, a land of plenty. It must have been Lei Heng's money to buy it there.
Song Jiang didn't relax for a long time when he saw the knife and pencil maker from the county government carrying a box into the hall. He bowed to the county magistrate Shi Wenbin and stood in front of Song Jiang. He said in a deep voice: "Song Yamen."
Si, I’m offended.”
Song Jiang watched as the knife and pen maker took out the instruments of torture one by one from the box, and his eyes gradually showed deep despair. In the past, he was Hu Baoyi, Shandong, and the timely Song Yan who was respected by everyone in Yuncheng County.
Si, once the gold seal is tattooed on his face, he will no longer be the Song Yasi that everyone respects. But those who don’t know Song Jiang’s past reputation will only feel bad when they see the gold seal on his face.
Say: Thieves match the army.
A person like Song Jiang, who has lived his whole life for fame and wealth, feels extremely sad and angry in his heart at this moment. He can't help but feel a sense of hatred for Chao Gai and others on Liangshan Mountain. He risked his life to save him like that.
Now he is suffering because of his kindness. If Liu Tang hadn't suddenly come to Yuncheng County, how could he have ended up in this situation.
This hatred grows in my heart, and as time goes by, it will only get bigger and bigger, until it is finally irreconcilable, but that is a story for another day.
The stinging sensation of the sharp blade slicing through the flesh made Song Jiang feel dizzy. The bright red blood slowly flowed down his cheeks. After more than ten years of fame and honor were stripped away, Song Jiang felt a hot and humiliating feeling crawling all over his body.
After a cup of tea, four words dripping with blood appeared on Song Jiang's cheek: "Chip with Jiangzhou". Song Jiang was numbly put in shackles by the government officials and slowly escorted to the county government prison cell.
The sun sets and the moon rises, everything is quiet, and the bright moonlight shines on Song Jiang through the narrow railings of the cell. This cell, which used to save the lives of many heroes, has now become Song Jiang's last night in Yuncheng County.
A place of habitat.
The night was as cold as water, and Song Jiang buried his head deeply between his legs. After a night, the light of morning light shone into the cell, and Song Jiang raised his head. The timely rain "Song Jiang" who had been the prison chief of Yuncheng County for more than ten years was already there.
Song Jiang died in his heart and was replaced by a brand new Song Jiang with vigorous ambitions who walked out of the prison cell in Yuncheng County.
One night, Song Jiang thought about too many things. Is it a big deal to kill the shameless Yan Poxi? In this era when human life is so worthless, it is really dispensable.
It's just that brother Lei Heng spent a lot of thought and a lot of money, but in the end it was just enough to save his life. In the final analysis, he was just like what he claimed to be in the past. He was just a small official. Although there was a big one in the world
The name is useless when used in official circles.
The great traitors in the court, Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and others, didn't have many lives on their hands? So they didn't have to deal with a few huge cases? Why can those people still be promoted and make money and do whatever they want, just because they hold high positions in the temple?
Want to be an official! Kill people and set fires and you will be rewarded.
Song Jiang had chosen a path and a place for himself in his heart, but now was not the right time. Song Jiang wanted to recover all the favors that had been scattered all over the world one by one.
Outside the gate of Yuncheng County, Lei Heng gave a few taels of silver to the two escorting officers and talked to Song Jiang by the bridge.
"Brother Gongming, it's a long way to Jiangzhou. You need to take care of yourself along the way. If you run out of money when you get to Jiangzhou, feel free to write to tell your brother." Lei Heng held Song Jiang's arm and said sincerely.
When Song Jiang heard this, he felt incomprehensible. After all, it was this brother who he felt had changed who saved his life. He said: "Brother, Song Jiang is extremely grateful to you for your efforts to survive this time. How dare you bother me anymore?"
Song Qing has already given him enough money. If our brothers can meet again in the future, Song Jiang will definitely repay today's kindness."
"My brother has gone to Jiangzhou. He only needs to serve well and wait for a few years before the imperial court grants amnesty. We brothers will definitely meet again." Lei Heng said with a relieved face.
But at this moment, Lei Heng didn't know that Song Jiang couldn't listen to the words of comfort in his mouth. Song Jiang had some plans in mind when he went to Jiangzhou.
Without further ado, Song Jiang and Lei Heng said goodbye. It was just this farewell. Even though they had such great kindness, a few years later, the two were still on opposite sides and became life-or-death enemies.
...
At the foot of Baodu Mountain, Zhu Biao was also bidding farewell to Tang Bin, Wen Zhongrong, and Cui Ye, when he heard Cui Ye say: "Master, why don't you stay in the village for a longer time, so that we can talk to you more."
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "It's true that my brother Shi Jin from Huazhou is getting married soon, so we have to get there as soon as possible."
"The Shi Jin that the young master is talking about is the master of the Shaohua Village. Shi Jin is called Jiuwenlong by Jianghu Mountain. I heard that he also has a magical strategist under his command - Zhu Wu, Jumping Stream Tiger - Chen Da, White Flower Snake -
"Yang Chun, they are all famous heroes in the green forests of Hedong." After hearing this, Tang Bin thought for a while and then asked.
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "This is the person who will lead the three brothers to meet them in the future."
After hearing this, Cui Ye looked bitter and complained: "Oh, if we have to be on guard against that fellow Tian Hu, I will go with the young master to Shaohua Mountain to get a wedding drink."
"The heroes on the young master's hill were all alone. In the future, they became brothers and had a lot of time to have wedding wine. But now you are greedy for this wedding wine. After saying goodbye to the young master, I have to go to Shandong to meet you. Mr. Wen sent a letter, at this time, you and brother Tang Bin are the only ones left in the village, but you must not mess around, do what the master ordered, and assist brother Tang Bin in guarding Baodu Mountain. "Wen Zhongrong." Hearing Cui Ye complain, he frowned slightly and said to him with a serious face.
Zhu Biao heard Wen Zhongrong's words and patted Cui Ye on the shoulder. Without saying much, he just said to Tang Bin: "Brother Zhongrong is going back and forth to Dulonggang. It will take half a month to work hard. This time If Tian Hu comes again in half a month, brother, don't make him angry by rejecting him. Instead of making excuses, everything will be worry-free when Du Bo and Taoist Master Qiao come with their men and horses."
"Don't worry, young master, I know how powerful this is." Tang Bin said with a serious look on his face.
Zhu Biao nodded without saying anything. He cupped his hands with Tang Bin, Cui Ye, and Wen Zhongrong, and then led Hu Qing'e, Hongyi, Xu Guanzhong, and Wang Jin toward the west.
