- However, he said that after the three commanders who escaped first fled back to Dongping Mansion, they immediately asked Cheng Wanli to close the four gates, collect the defeated troops, and recruit young men to guard the city to prevent Liangshan troops from taking the opportunity to attack Dongping Mansion.
When everyone arrived outside Dongpingfu City, the three-foot-high city was already heavily guarded.
Cheng Wanli did not expect that the Liangshan thieves were so powerful. Even with Dong Ping's ability, they were defeated. Ever since he learned the news, he did not dare to step down to the city, for fear that Liangshan soldiers and horses would rob the city accidentally.
When Cheng Wanli was directing his soldiers and horses to strengthen the defense, he saw a group of soldiers who had abandoned their helmets and armor and fled towards the city. He shouted hurriedly: "A few dozen more people are coming. Make sure they are our Dongping Mansion soldiers and horses, and then release them." They come in."
The prefect was right next to him, so the officers and soldiers guarding the gate at the top of the city naturally did not dare to neglect them. When the soldiers and horses from the city came to them, they looked at them carefully for a while and then said: "They are the soldiers and horses of the second command. I know most of them."
Cheng Wanli heard that most of the officers and soldiers guarding the city recognized him, so he stuck his head out from the city and shouted: "Why did it take you so long to come back?"
The ten generals at the head shouted: "Returning to the magistrate, after the young men were dispersed by the Liangshan thieves, they were afraid of being chased by the Liangshan soldiers and horses, so they went around in a circle, so they were late."
"Have you ever found Liangshan soldiers and horses along the way back?"
"Reporting to the magistrate, there are no Liangshan soldiers or horses five miles outside the city."
Cheng Wanli asked a few questions in person, and then said to the officers and soldiers guarding the door: "Open the door for them, there is a way to escape."
The city gate opened, and the soldiers guarding the city were about to urge the defeated troops to enter the city quickly.
Liu Tang had already rushed out of the crowd, cutting down five or six people one by one in the blink of an eye.
The surviving officers and soldiers at the city gate realized that there were not many left. Seeing Liu Tang coming with such ferocity, they shouted and fled in all directions.
"The heroes of Liangshan are here, who dares to stop them?"
Liu Tang shouted, cut off a head, threw it on the city wall, and rushed towards the horse path leading to the city wall.
The bloody head was hitting an officer and soldier, and he was suddenly sprayed with hot blood. The officer and soldier glanced at the heads of their comrades who were staring blankly, and were so frightened that they immediately dropped their weapons and ran away from the city wall.
Seeing this, Cheng Wanli at the head of the city hurriedly shouted: "Don't run, don't run, block the city gate for me."
Chao Yong saw Liu Tang's advance and was afraid that Liu Tang would kill them all, so he hurriedly shouted: "Abandon your weapons and don't kill."
At first, there were dozens of officers and soldiers trying to block the horse path to prevent the Liangshan troops from seizing the city. After Liu Tang, who was leading the charge, cut down four or five of them, they all began to escape. Those who could not escape threw away their weapons and knelt down to each other. On both sides, people on both sides were afraid of blocking the path of Liu Tang, the red-haired ghost, and being cut into two pieces by the murderous god.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Wanli turned around and was about to escape when Liu Tang, who was killed on the top of the city, stared at him.
"Hurry up and block that god of death from me, bastard, don't block me."
Cheng Wanli shouted while pushing the officers and soldiers who blocked him.
Helplessly, lives were at stake at this time. Although some people below shouted to give up their weapons and not kill, the comrades who fell behind were all chopped down to the ground by the red-haired murderer. Who was willing to risk their lives to make way for the prefect. In the panic, no one knew who pushed Cheng Wanli, who was wearing an official robe, and he was pushed like a gourd on the ground.
As soon as Liu Tang climbed up the city wall, he already stared at Cheng Wanli, who was wearing a scarlet official uniform. Unfortunately, there were many officers and soldiers blocked at the top of the city. Although not many dared to resist, they were always in the way. He angrily chopped down a few who were running behind. The officers and soldiers suddenly found Cheng Wanli falling to the ground, and immediately shouted: "Good dog officer, grandpa has eliminated harm for the people."
Cheng Wanli heard a loud shout, looked up, and saw that a simple knife had been struck at the head.
Looking at the sword whizzing towards him, it was already stained with the blood of countless people, and the blade was curled up in several places. I never thought that I, who had been a fourth-grade magistrate, would die with such a broken sword like those tattooed soldiers. Under the knife, what a pity.
"Ding"
A fierce sound of gold and iron mingling woke Cheng Wanli from his regret. Then he remembered his fear, hurriedly got up, kowtowed and shouted: "Heroes, spare their lives, heroes, spare their lives."
Liu Tang originally wanted to chop off the dog officer's head with one knife, but he didn't expect Chao Yong to suddenly chase him from behind. He swung the iron rod in his hand and caught Liu Tang's knife with all his strength. The violent backlash almost made Liu Tang The sword in his hand flew away.
"Brother Yong, what are you doing to stop me? This kind of dog official can just chop off his head with a knife."
"Okay, let's keep him for now, and then behead him for public display after interrogation. Stop chasing him, control the city gate first, and let my soldiers and horses from the stronghold enter the city."
During the battle on Golden Beach, Chao Yong knew that Liu Tang was a murderer. Although he would not kill innocent people indiscriminately like Li Kui, he would never show mercy to the sword, so he chased after him.
Liu ?He didn't know the importance of it, so he turned around angrily and guarded the city.
When the fleeing officers and soldiers on the city wall saw Liu Tang stop, they all took the opportunity to flee. No one dared to seize the city gate and the captured prefect.
Soon, the Liangshan army, which had been lurking for several miles outside the city, successfully entered the city, and other city gates were immediately knocked down.
The officials, wealthy households in the city who got the news had just packed up their belongings, and before they could escape, they were all blocked in the city.
Chao Yong and Liu Tang took Cheng Wanli and Chao Gai straight to the government office, and at the same time asked the people to beat drums and complain about their grievances.
Several officials who were on duty at the government office and had not yet received the news were blocked by the crowd and escorted to the lobby together, where they knelt in a row.
Liu Tang, who was covered in blood, walked around several officials, and the blood dripping from his clothes drew a circle on the ground.
"There are several good heads. I wonder how many of them will still be around my neck after today. It's a pity, it's a pity."
"Hero, spare your life."
"Hero, spare your life."
Several officials looked at the murderous Liu Tang. When they heard his words, they were so frightened that they fell to the ground and begged.
"Snapped"
Chao Gai patted the gavel and said: "Jing Jing, I heard that Cheng Wanli was corrupt, perverting the law, and disregarding human life. Can you tell me whether this is true."
Liu Tang raised the face of an official and said in a vicious voice: "Do you know?"
The official felt his chin was sticky and uncomfortable. He looked at the blood on Liu Tang's hands and his face turned pale with fright. He trembled and said, "I know, I know. Yesterday, someone accused Mr. Liu of Dongcheng that he had robbed his daughter. Cheng Wanli accepted If he pays a bribe, he will be sentenced to false accusation."
Under Liu Tang¡¯s fierce gaze, others also spoke out to testify against Cheng Wanli¡¯s usual crimes.
The crimes one after another were too numerous to describe, and everyone in the hall was gnashing their teeth.
Chao Gai hated this corrupt official who oppressed the people the most, and immediately shouted: "Needless to say, it's just such a dog official who has made the world muddy, drag him out and chop him down."
Liu Tang was furious when he heard that. He kicked Cheng Wanli down and said, "You are such a dog official. Even if I kill you with a knife, it will be easier for you. Grandpa Liu Tang will chop you alive today."
After saying that, he grabbed Cheng Wanli's bun and dragged him outside.
Cheng Wanli was kicked by Liu Tang and his whole body was in severe pain, but the desire to survive made him forget the pain. He clawed at the cracks in the underground bricks with both hands, struggled, and shouted to Dong Ping who was standing aside: "My dear son-in-law, help me. I am willing to betroth my daughter to you. Please help me."
Dong Ping looked at Chao Gai who was not angry and was about to speak.
Chao Gai has scolded you: "You are such a dog official, it will be useless even if the King of Heaven comes today."
Dong Ping was a person with spiritual skills. He knew Chao Gai before and did not dare to plead for mercy. He just said: "To the King of Heaven, this Cheng Wanli crime cannot be forgiven. I dare not plead for mercy. However, I am in love with his daughter and I can't bear it." Seeing him suffer, please give him a break."
Chao Gai originally wanted Liu Tang to suffer more for Cheng Wanli, but when he saw Dong Ping, who had just joined the gang, begging for mercy, he had no choice but to say: "Since Brother Dong Ping has spoken, Liu Tang, please give him a good time."
Cheng Wanli heard that Dong Ping was just pleading to save him from torture, and cried: "No, I don't want to die. Dear son-in-law, help me, if you watch me die today, Wan'er will hate you forever."
Hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed across Dong Ping's face, but he looked at Chao Gai with a livid face and still did not speak again.
Liu Tang was already impatient. Seeing how noisy Cheng Wanli was, he pulled Cheng Wanli out with a little force. Not long after, a scream came from outside the Yamen.
Dong Ping was worried about the beauty and hurriedly said: "King Chao Tian, ??if nothing happens here, I will go see Wan'er."
Chao Gai thought for a while and said: "Wait a minute, I am a hero from Liangshan. I must do what is right for heaven and do things honestly. Yong'er, go and check. Dong Ping and Cheng Wan'er are in love. If it is true as you said, you It's not too late to go." Hearing this, Dong Ping had no choice but to suppress his lovesickness and wait for Chao Yong to come back. Chao Yong left the lobby and went to the backyard to ask the two maids. As expected, everyone knew about their affair, and Cheng Wan'er had recently been grounded because of it, so she returned. Chao Gai learned that what Dong Ping said was true, and immediately stood up and accused him: "Don't blame General Dong. It's not that I, Chao Gai, are suspicious, it's just that it has to do with the rules of Liangshan and the reputation of the brothers." Dong Ping hurriedly said: "The King of Heaven It's serious. This is how it should be." Chao Yong saw that Dong Ping was already distracted and said with a smile: "General Dong, you'd better go quickly, everyone is still waiting for your wedding wine." Dong Ping was also jade-faced when Chao Yong said it. Feihong said goodbye and flew away.
Dong Ping found Cheng Wan'er in the back house and comforted her with gentle words. He had to shirk his responsibility. He had just joined the gang and could not take the lead. He had tried his best to plead for mercy to save his father from suffering.Cheng Wan'er went up the mountain with him.
After the people in the city saw that the people from Liangshan had entered the city, Qiu did not commit any crime. Instead, he sent troops to arrest the rogues who took the opportunity to cause trouble. They all had the courage to gather in front of the government office, but no one dared to play the drums yet.
Seeing the magistrate who usually oppressed the people beheading himself in public in front of the government office, an old man who had a blood feud with the city's wealthy households but had no way to redress his grievances mustered up the courage to step forward and beat the drum.
At the beginning, soon the people also drummed to tell the corrupt officials and rich households of the people of the fish. Once verified, Liu Tang turned into a dumplings and beheaded.
Dongping Prefecture is close to the canal and is one of the few wealthy prefectures in the entire Song Dynasty, so Tong Guan sent his family to come here to make money. The money and food in the homes of corrupt officials and evil gentry in the city were also piled up like mountains. Except for part of the compensation given to the victims, most of it ended up in Liangshan's hands.
Because there was a canal and there was too much money and food in the city, Chao Gai had no choice but to mobilize a navy from Liangshan overnight to transport the property.
It was not until the third day that San Ruan led his navy upstream to Dongping Mansion. The next day, thousands of sails competed on the river, and the huge fleet sailed down the river, arriving at Liangshan Shuibo that night.
After the fleet left, Chao Gai also led Liangshan troops to evacuate Dongping Mansion.
When the people in the city heard that Liangshan¡¯s soldiers and horses were leaving, they all came to bid farewell.
When Chao Gai and his party walked to the gate of the city, an old man rushed out with a young man, knelt down and said: "Grandpa Liangshan, my great vengeance has been avenged, and I will die with no regrets. It's just that there is no way in this world like me." There are still many people seeking revenge. The old man can no longer wield swords and guns, but my grandson is young and strong. The little old man wants him to follow the King of Heaven to do justice for the heavens and eliminate harm for the people. I ask King Chao to take him in. "
Chao Gai jumped off his horse, helped the old man up, and said with a smile: "As long as you are willing, Liangshan welcomes you. Old man, you can come with us. The family members of my Liangshan heroes are also settled on the mountain."
When some enthusiastic young people saw Liangshan¡¯s soldiers and horses recruiting people, they immediately ran out to join the team.
Dozens of people who had taken revenge but did not want to die kept sending Chao Gai and his party several miles outside the city before they returned to the city under Chao Gai's persuasion.
Cheng Wan'er was on the carriage watching the people below expressing their heartfelt gratitude to the heroes of Liangshan. Thinking about the people in front of the government office reviling the officials, she couldn't help but feel a little crazy. (An additional chapter is added to celebrate the A-signing.
