Lei Heng has run away again recently.
It turns out that Zhu Tong was behind all of this!
Having learned from previous lessons,
This time, the county magistrate personally took charge.
Send someone to summon the Bearded Gentleman to the county office.
Another banquet was prepared specifically to entertain them.
Zhu Tong had no suspicions.
But unexpectedly, after a few rounds of drinks,
After becoming completely drunk,
Behind the screen in the main hall
Suddenly a group of constables ran out.
They immediately pinned the drunken, bearded man to the ground.
"Your Excellency, what is the reason for this?"
Zhu Tong sobered up considerably immediately after consuming the alcohol.
He quickly asked loudly.
"Why?"
The new magistrate snorted coldly.
"You scoundrel, you let Song Jiang go first, and then you let Lei Heng go a couple of days ago,"
"When the former magistrate, Shi Wenbin, left, he praised me, saying you were loyal and righteous."
"He certainly never expected that you, scoundrel, would also be colluding with bandits!"
"this......"
Zhu Tong saw that the matter had been exposed,
Knowing that further explanation is useless,
So he simply kept quiet.
The magistrate immediately imprisoned the man with the beautiful beard.
After a series of interrogations,
So they decided to execute him in the autumn.
They were just waiting for the approval from the Tokyo Ministry of Justice.
They immediately executed Zhu Tong!
...
Such a big thing happened in Yuncheng County.
On Liangshan side,
Naturally, the news arrived immediately.
"Chief, I've heard that Zhu Tong, the military commander of Yuncheng, is known as the 'Beautiful-Bearded Gentleman,' and is a righteous man."
Sun An suggested,
"This imprisonment is largely due to the matter of secretly releasing Song Jiang and Lei Heng,"
"Should we go and rescue him?"
"I think it will work,"
Bian Xiang also agreed.
"How can we not let such a righteous hero go up the mountain?"
"Brother Zhao, why don't we go down the mountain now and head straight for the Yuncheng government office?"
Li Kui said in a very casual manner,
"First, kill that new magistrate, then rescue this guy surnamed Zhu!"
Seeing the many leaders in the Hall of Righteousness,
Most people agreed to send troops to Yuncheng.
Rescue the handsome Zhu Tong.
Zhao Yuan exchanged a knowing smile with Wen Huanzhang, Xu Guanzhong, and Zhu Wu.
I couldn't help but think of last night.
The four had just seen the scene when Shi Qian sent back the news from Yuncheng.
It turns out that although Song Jiang not only handled things skillfully,
They even went to extremes.
But these three strategists on Liangshan,
They were all highly intelligent individuals.
Upon seeing this intelligence,
The iron fan, Song Qing, actually met with Zhu Tong and Lei Heng separately...
The letters and news from Qingfeng Mountain have all been leaked.
They immediately realized something was wrong.
After all, if it only leaks out from one side,
That's alright.
You could call it a coincidence,
But both sides somehow leaked the information.
That's clearly a problem!
Furthermore, this collusion with bandits,
That's a serious crime by the authorities.
If Song Jiang were truly grateful to his two saviors...
How could you let your own brother be so careless?
After a moment's thought, Wen Huanzhang, Xu Guanzhong, and Zhu Wu...
They then understood Song Jiang's treacherous scheme.
"I've always heard my brothers in the bandit world say that Song Jiang, the Timely Rain of Shandong, is a first-rate hero, a man of great benevolence and generosity,"
The strategist couldn't help but sigh.
"I never expected this fellow to be this kind of person,"
"To recruit an acquaintance into the outlaws, he actually went so far as to scheme against his own brother!"
"Song Jiang, despite being an official of the imperial court, had made countless acquaintances among the outlaws,"
Wen Huanzhang commented with a smile,
"A minor official in Yuncheng, yet he has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds,"
"From this, we can see that this timely rain, Song Jiang, was definitely not someone who was unwilling to be mediocre..."
Chapter 605 To Save or Not to Save
"What are you two strategists talking about?"
Li Kui scratched his head.
"Forget it, I can't understand it anyway!"
"Tell me, what's wrong with this guy? Should we save him or not?"
"Tie Niu, you may not understand, but we do!"
Ruan Xiaoqi said with a face full of disdain,
"What the two strategists just said is true. This Zhu Tong, the head constable, was actually tricked into going to jail by his friend Song Jiang!"
"Huh? What does this have to do with Song Jiang?"
Li Kui still looked completely bewildered.
"Tie Niu, to put it simply, Song Jiang is currently short-handed,"
Zhao Yuan explained with a smile,
"So they deliberately devised a plan to make both Zhu Tong, the Bearded Gentleman, and Lei Heng, the Winged Tiger, offend the government."
"In that case, the two of them will have nowhere else to go but to seek refuge with him at Qingfeng Mountain!"
"What?! That Song Jiang could actually do such a thing!"
Black Whirlwind immediately flew into a rage.
"He even betrayed his own brothers! Does this kind of person deserve to be called a timely rain?"
Seeing the other brothers in the hall,
Everyone was echoing Li Kui.
Zhao Yuan couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
If he hadn't obtained it...
Now this is framing Zhu Tong,
This forced him to join the Liangshan bandits.
That's something Li Kui would do himself!
to this end,
But it also cost an innocent child his life.
“Brother, since Zhu Tong was framed by Song Jiang, we should save him even more.”
Li Kui shouted,
"And let this fellow see the true face of the 'Timely Rain'!"
"Chief, Brother Tie Niu is right,"
Xu Guanzhong nodded and said,
"Song Jiang committed this unjust act at the foot of Liangshan Mountain, and we cannot ignore it."
"Furthermore, when Zhu Tong was a constable in Yuncheng, although he had some ambiguous relationships with the outlaws,"
"But at least it didn't harm ordinary people."
"Now, the population of people living on Liangshan Marsh is growing rapidly,"
"Now we rely entirely on soldiers to patrol and maintain order."
"This can't go on forever."
"If we can rescue Zhu Tong and bring him up the mountain, it would be perfect to have him and the Blue-Eyed Tiger Li Yun take charge of the mountain's security together!"
"Yes, that's true."
Zhao Yuan also agreed.
As the saying goes, everyone has their own area of expertise.
In the past, when the population of Liangshan was small,
It is also convenient to manage.
