Dai Zong came out of the Yamen and went straight to the death row to see Song Jiang.
In the death row, Song Jiang had a single cell to himself, but it was very smelly. There were a lot of feces and urine scattered in the corner, exuding waves of stench. The nearby prisoners stayed away from Song Jiang's cell.
Thinking of the situation that day, Song Jiang was also ashamed and angry.
When Huang Wenbing saw the anti-poem he wrote on the Xunyang Tower and sent people to arrest him, Dai Zong came up with an idea to let him pretend to be crazy and deliberately sprinkle feces and urine on his body to act like a fool. He had no other ideas for a while, so he had no choice but to listen to Dai Zong's words, thinking that he could get away with it.
Unexpectedly, when he was escorted to the lobby, Huang Wenbing actually asked him to eat shit.
¡°If you don¡¯t eat it, you¡¯re pretending to be crazy. If you eat it, you might be able to get away with it.
In order to survive, Song Jiang could only endure his nausea and eat a lot.
Unexpectedly, Huang Wenbing had already assumed that the person who could write such poetry must not be a madman, but was just teasing him. After he ate it, he was beaten severely by the government officials.
Song Jiang could not survive the beating, so he could only plead guilty, saying that he had mistakenly written an anti-poem while drunk.
Seeing that he was tempted, Huang Wenbing threw him into the death row. Finally, when he said that he liked shit and urine, he told the public to leave him alone and let him solve his own problems in the prison to prevent him from taking the opportunity to escape.
The toilet in the prison is outside. When prisoners want to relieve themselves, they have to ask the prison guards to open the door and take them out, and then take them back when they are done.
This also gives the inmates an opportunity to collect money. If you are less filial on weekdays, there is no guarantee that when you are in a hurry, the inmates will suddenly have something to do. If you delay for a while, when you come back, the prisoners will no longer have to go out. convenient.
Fortunately, before Dai Zong left, he secretly ordered the two prisoners to bring some food to Song Jiang every day, otherwise he would have to rely on feces and urine to survive.
It¡¯s just that his name of Xiaoyi Heisaburo was also changed to dung beetle by the prisoners and prisoners in the prison, saying that he wallowed in excrement every day.
"A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, so Song Jiang can only endure it.
"The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan, just like the poem. If he could avenge himself in his youth and stain the mouth of the Xunyang River with blood, he would at least kill all the people who mocked him.
¡°If he had known that the government officials had already spread his shit-eating as a joke throughout Jiangzhou, I don¡¯t know if he would have the courage to live anymore.
Dai Zong also knew Huang Wenbing's order that day, and was afraid that Huang Wenbing would suddenly come to check, so he did not dare to let Xiao Laozi take Song Jiang out for convenience.
As soon as he entered the prison, he smelled a pungent stench, but he could only hold back his nausea, walked to Song Jiang's prison, and called out: "Brother Gongming."
Song Jiang was sitting there. When he heard Dai Zong's voice, he suddenly became energetic. He got up and ran over without caring about the feces and urine on the ground. "How is it? When will Brother Chao Gai lead his troops to rescue me?"
Song Jiang opened his mouth, and Dai Zongdu seemed to smell the smell of shit. He pretended to look at the situation on the left and right, turned his head to avoid Song Jiang's smell, and said: "Brother, don't worry, brother Chao Gai of Liangshan has asked Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian to forge a letter." Cai Jing's reply asked Huang Wenbing to send someone to escort his brother to Beijing. As soon as he left the city, Liangshan heroes would rescue his brother. "
Song Jiang had also heard about the reputations of Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian in Jezhou, and he was delighted when he heard the words: "That's good. I know that brother Chao Gai will not leave the city without mercy. When I leave the city, you will also find an opportunity to leave the city and go to Liangshan with me." Join the gang. You can only write a letter once. After I am robbed, I am afraid that the thief Huang Wenbing will write to Cai Jing to plead guilty. I can't forge letters again. If you stay here, you will be killed by the thief. "
Hearing this, Dai Zong nodded and said: "Now that things have come to a point, Dai Zong has no choice but to accompany his brother to join the gang. These days, the two little prisoners I told him about have brought food to my brother."
Song Jiang nodded and said: "Well, they have not forgotten your instructions. I wonder where the Liangshan troops are waiting to strike?"
While the two were talking, they heard a man running outside and shouting: "Dean Dai, Lord Zhizhou is calling you."
After hearing this, the two of them could not help but change their expressions.
Song Jiang shook Dai Zong's hand and said, "That thief Huang Wenbing is cunning and changeable. I'm afraid there will be further questioning. Brother, be calm, our lives are in your hands."
Hearing this, Dai Zong nodded, cheered up and walked out.
It turned out that after Dai Zong left, Huang Wenbing opened the letter and read it. The content of the letter was to ask him to escort Song Jiang to Tokyo. His achievements would be reported to the emperor sooner or later, and he would definitely be promoted.
Huang Wenbing also looked at the mark carefully and saw that it was the most common "Hanlin Caijing", which was similar to the text on some Dharma stickers he had seen. It seems that after Cai Jing became an official, he switched to Hanlin Books.
Huang Wenbing couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Cai Jing really wanted to promote him.
Huang Wenbing also thought carefully that Song Jiang was just a good friend of Chao Gai. Even if he falsely accused him of being a strongman in Liangshan, Cai Jing would not take it too seriously. Unless Chao Gai and other thieves who directly robbed the Grand Master's birth certificate could be caught, Cai Jing might appreciate him after resolving his hatred, but he would definitely not reuse him just because of a random Liangshan thieves.
His original intention was just to get acquainted with Cai Jing through this incident. If he showed more filial piety during the New Years and holidays in the future, Cai Jing would surely remember him in his heart. Then it would be easy to seek promotion.
¡°And even if Cai Jing decided to re-employ him, he would definitely not state it clearly in the letter to avoid being caught in the grip of power.
Thinking of these two things that were wrong, Huang Wenbing immediately sent someone to report Dai Zonglai.
Dai Zong followed the man who summoned him and came to Huang Wenbing's hall, where Huang Wenbing was drinking tea.
The gentleman asked Dai Zong to stay in the hall, then stepped forward and whispered into Huang Wenbing's ear.
Dai Zong saw Huang Wenbing's brows move and couldn't help but secretly become vigilant.
Huang Wenbing asked the gentleman to step aside, looked at Dai Zong and said with a smile: "Dean Dai is really dedicated and responsible. He went to prison just after he came back."
Dai Zong was the prisoner of the two houses, and was in prison on duty. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "I have been out for many days, and I am afraid that those little prisoners will sneak away and take away the prisoners, so I went to the prison to investigate." ¡±
Huang Wenbing heard this and said with a smile: "Then the death row prisoner Song Jiang has not escaped, right? He is a repeat criminal wanted by the Grand Master."
Dai Zong said calmly: "The prisoners are not lazy, there are many prisoners." He did not reply to Song Jiang's words, so as not to expose the truth.
Huang Wenbing nodded and said: "That's good. The grand master asked me to escort Song Jiang to the capital, but there was no room for error. I had official business to deal with just now, so I didn't ask carefully. Let me ask you, when you went to Prime Minister Cai's Mansion , But what kind of door is it to receive letters?¡±
Dai Zong saw that Huang Wenbing was indeed suspicious, and couldn't help but secretly scream, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Not too old, of medium build, with some mustache."
Dai Zong has never been to Tokyo, so he naturally doesn¡¯t know what kind of people the disciples of Prime Minister Cai¡¯s mansion are like, so he can only describe them in the way most people do.
When Huang Wenbing heard Dai Zong's description, he couldn't help but become more suspicious, and said curiously: "When I was in Tokyo to take the exam, I also visited the grand master. At that time, the disciple was an old man and treated me very well. I don't know when he changed someone. . You have been waiting in front of Prime Minister Cai¡¯s mansion for a long time, and you must have talked to this new disciple. Where did that disciple go? "
Dai Zong only knew that Huang Wenbing was a scholar. He didn't know whether he had passed the exam in Beijing. Hearing this, he didn't dare to be careless and said carefully: "I did say a few words, but those days were Grand Master Cai's birthday, and there were many people coming in and out, so that disciple didn't want to talk to me anymore."
Huang Wenbing had never been to Tokyo, and the general judge was only bought with money. He was just testing Dai Zong. Seeing that Dai Zong remained silent, he added: "On the grand master's birthday, there will naturally be many people offering gifts. But the one that suits the grand master's heart the most is I'm afraid I have to be counted. Previously, I heard from Cai Zhizhou, the ninth son of the Grand Master, that every year on the Grand Master's birthday, a reward would be given to the person who gave the gift as a way of repaying the gift. I wonder what the Grand Master's reward will be this year. Why don¡¯t you offer it up?¡±
Dai Zong also knew that Huang Wenbing often fawned over Cai Jiu in the past. Hearing this, he knelt down and said, "There is a reward. It's just that the villain was in a hurry and lost it halfway, so he hid it from the adults."
Huang Wenbing couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Dai Zong had finally exposed himself, and shouted: "Come here, take down Dai Zong for me."
The dozen or so men who had been ambushing him in the hall heard Huang Wenbing's greeting and immediately rushed out to capture Dai Zong.
Dai Zong also knew at this time that he had been deceived, but he also knew that he could not change his mind and shouted: "I lost the reward, please forgive me."
Huang Wenbing shouted: "Nonsense, what are you? The Grand Master will give you a reward. How many people have sent tons of gold and silver, but there is no reward, so why not just give it to you? How can you recruit this thief if you don't beat him." You guys drag this guy out and beat him harder."
These men were servants of the prefect's Yamen and had nothing to do with Dai Zong. They immediately dragged Dai Zong out and started beating him.
Dai Zong had no one to show mercy, but within a moment, he was beaten until his skin and flesh were torn, and blood flowed out.
Dai Zong couldn't beat him, so he had to shout: "Hit me, I do it."
When the public servant saw that Dai Zong was in trouble, he dragged Dai Zong back to the hall.
Huang Wenbing glanced at Dai Zong, who was sweating in pain, and said with a smile: "Tell me."
Dai Zong saw Huang Wenbing's smile on his face and knew who he was, so he had to say: "This letter is fake."
"Oh? Where did this letter come from?"
Dai Zong did not dare to accuse Liangshan of forging it, so he could only say casually: "When the villain passed by the Huangshan Gate, he was unfortunately killed by a group of strongmen.He was tied up and went up the mountain. Just when he was about to cut his belly and dig out his heart, he found a letter from an adult in his arms. That group of strong men knew Song Jiang, so they wrote this reply to the villain to let him escape. Without the adult's letter, the villain could no longer go to Tokyo. For a moment, he was afraid of the adult's guilt, so he used this letter to deliver the letter. "
After hearing this, Huang Wenbing frowned and said, "You guys are still talking nonsense. How can a letter from the Grand Master be forged by an ordinary grassroots bandit? Drag him out and beat this guy harder."
Dai Zong hurriedly shouted: "Everything the villain said is true."
Huang Wenbing ignored Dai Zong and waved his hand for the public servant to drag Dai Zong out.
It was another violent beating, but Dai Zong did not dare to recruit him to Liangshan, so he could only grit his teeth and suffer.
Not long after, he was beaten until he fainted. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
