Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Chai Zhong left, Chai Jin Zhuangke no longer knew about the conspiracy of Gao Lian and others. After getting the iron certificate of the alchemy book, he heard that Chai Jin and others were arrested, so he hurried to the Yamen with the iron certificate of the alchemy book for Gao Lian to check.

    Who would have thought that as soon as he entered the Yamen, he would be arrested and imprisoned, and the iron certificate of the alchemy book would also be taken away by Gao Lian.

    Shi Qian traveled day and night, and when he arrived at Gaotang Prefecture, he heard the whole city talking about Chai Huangcheng's family pretending to be descendants of Chai Shizong and that they would be executed tomorrow.

    Shi Qian did not dare to neglect, found a place to stay in the city, and sneaked into the Yamen that night.

    The journey was smooth and smooth. Shi Qian originally wanted to see if he had a chance to assassinate Gao Lian and get his first credit.

    Unexpectedly, when Gao Lian was sleeping, there were two soldiers guarding the door.

    Shi Qian walked around and saw that he couldn't get in, so he had to climb up to the roof, lift up a tile, slowly lift the letter to the table with a rope, then posted a post to the court, and then quietly left the Yamen.

    Early the next morning, after the yamen official entered the court, he found the letter lying in the lobby. When he saw the word "Liangshan" written on the cover, he hurried to the backyard to see Gao Lian.

    When Gao Lian heard that the gentleman asked to see him, he got up and dressed.

    But Madam grabbed Gao Lian and said, "What's the matter? You're here to disturb your dreams so early in the morning."

    Gao Lian shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Madam, please continue to sleep. I'll go out and take a look."

    Gao Lian was getting dressed and was about to go out when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a letter on the table. He couldn't help but be startled. There was nothing on the table before going to bed last night. He turned around and asked, "Did you put anyone's letter on the table?"

    Mrs. Gao Lian shook her head and said, "No."

    Gao Lian walked to the table in confusion and saw the word "Liangshan" written on the cover, and he couldn't help but take a step back in fright.

    Mrs. Gao Lian saw Gao Lian startled, looked at Gao Lian suspiciously, and said, "Whose letter is it? Bring it over and let me have a look."

    "ah"

    Mrs. Gao took the letter and when she saw the word "Liangshan", she screamed in fright and threw the letter to the ground.

    Gao Lian hurriedly said: "Okay, madam, don't be afraid. The walls of Gaotangzhou City are high and thick, and the Liangshan thieves can't get in."

    "Fart, then why did you put this letter on the table? Maybe some of your soldiers are Liangshan thieves. Hurry up and arrest all the soldiers who guarded last night. Otherwise, we won't know when our heads fell off.  "

    Gao Lian frowned and said, "If there were really Liangshan thieves coming in, I'm afraid we would have been dead."

    "Then where do you think this letter came from? Could it be that I put it there? We are the soldiers guarding the door. If you don't catch them today, I will go back to Tokyo and lose my head here sooner or later."

    When Gao Lian saw that the woman was acting rude, he had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll arrest them when I get back and interrogate them. I'll see what they wrote first."

    Gao Lian picked up the letter and opened it to read it. He saw that it read: "Chao Gai, the righteous man from Liangshan, expressed his admiration to the officials of Daming Prefecture: The people who entered Cangzhou Chai were the sons and grandsons of the previous dynasty. They were generous and generous, and mostly had favors with the village. I don't want to think about it."  You corrupt officials, robbed others of their wealth, and wanted to kill them! If you find your way back and send firewood, I don't ask for much. If you hurt your wings and bend your legs, when the army arrives, you will definitely break the city and destroy it.  Treachery, destroy foolishness, heaven and earth are supportive, ghosts and gods are blessing you! We, the Liangshan army, come and go with encouragement, we are righteous husbands and wives, filial sons and grandchildren, peaceful and good people, honest and prudent officials.  In panic, everyone is informed."

    "Ha ha"

    Gao Lian couldn't help laughing when he saw that Liangshan's army actually came to attack Gaotang Prefecture.

    The woman was still in shock. Seeing Gao Lian laughing, she couldn't help but said angrily: "Is it possible that Liangshan sent you gold and silver, and you are so happy?"

    Gao Lian came over and hugged his wife and said with a smile: "Madam is right, Liangshan is here to give me gold and silver. The Liangshan bandits robbed Yuncheng County and Dongping Mansion, and the court failed to arrest them several times, so they had to offer a heavy reward to the Liangshan leader.  . I wanted to capture Liangshan before, but Liangshan was not under my jurisdiction, so I let them run rampant for a long time. I didn't expect them to dare to leave their nest and send them to the city. Wouldn't they bring me a lot of gold and silver?  Liangshan thieves are rarely promoted to officials. "

    The woman also smiled happily when she heard that he was promoted to an official position and said: "So, this Chai Jin is a big bait, and he also caught the big fish from Liangshan. But I heard that many of the thieves in Liangshan have strong martial arts, and the imperial court  We have been unable to capture them several times. I am afraid that our troops in Gaotang Prefecture are weak. Why don't the officials ask for help from the nearby prefectures and cooperate with others to wipe out the Liangshan bandits in one fell swoop?"

    Gao Lian shook his head and said: "The previous failure of the army was only due to the Liangshan thieves taking advantage of the location. Now that they have left their nest without permission, they are doomed to defeat. How can such a huge contribution be shared with others. But my soldiers and horses from Gaotang Prefecture are  To unite Jin and destroy Liao for my Gao familyIn order to seize the battle merits, my brother assigned many generals and assistants to assist me. Now the soldiers and horses in the city are well trained. It is just right to attack Liangshan first and let the soldiers see some blood so that they can win more battle merits in the future.  "

    The lady said: "We have been planning to unite the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty for several years, but we have never succeeded. If there is no hope, the officials might as well be transferred to the rich areas in the south of the Yangtze River to become magistrates, so as not to waste their time here. This Gaotang Prefecture  Although it is also prosperous, it is not as rich as Jiangnan. Look at how much gold and silver Zhu Meng has made in Jiangnan. He has built several large houses in Tokyo. My brother has made many forbidden works, but they are not as luxurious as him. "

    Zhu Meng was in charge of the Hua Shi Gang affairs for Huizong, and took advantage of the opportunity to plunder and become rich in the world.  He lived a luxurious life and had fine clothes and fine food. Even Cai Jing, who had served as prime minister three times, could not compare to his luxury.

    Gao Lian couldn't help but shook his head secretly when he heard his wife comparing him to Zhu Meng.

    Most of Zhu Meng's wealth came from the wealthy job of Hua Shi Gang. Every year, he drew millions of dollars from the national treasury to redeem and collect flowers and stones.  If the people have some complaints, they will be extorted on charges of "disrespect".  The one-tenth of Zhu Meng's wealth that other Jiangnan officials could make was huge corruption.

    However, he did not dare to say that Madam was wrong, so he could only say: "Madam, don't be anxious. The matter is almost done. The matter has been delayed in the past few years because many ministers in the DPRK are afraid of attracting wolves into the house and advocate sitting on the mountain and watching.  Among them was Taishi Cai. Although my brother, Liang Shicheng, Wang Fu, Cai You and others all advocated joining forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty and recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Cai Jing refuted it, so the emperor was still undecided.  The talent came up with the idea of ??helping Cai You and let Cai Jing become an official, and gave the position of commander of the expedition to Liao to Prime Minister Tong. Without Prime Minister Tong as his internal support, how could Cai Jing withstand the siege of everyone now that he had become an official, and there was no one left in the court.  People can stop this, and there will be news soon."
