Jeju Prefecture. Qinbei Pavilion
The team training leader Huang An returned safely, which caused a commotion in Jeju officialdom for a while. Everyone had forgotten about Huang An and others, but their sudden appearance surprised everyone.
"Huang An, do you know your guilt?"
The prefect of Jeju looked at Huang An who came back coldly and scolded him.
"I don't know!"
Huang An was angry, so he would not give the prefect a good look. Although the Jeju prefect was his superior, he was only one step away from being a regimental trainer. If he wanted to get the road inspector of Tokyo West Road to come forward, a prefect could not do anything to him. How about it.
"You have no command, you have been defeated by bandits, you have lost your master and humiliated your authority, what else is there to say!"
The prefect of Jeju was furious. He just wanted to find a scapegoat. Why did the usually honest Huang An become uncharacteristically tough today?
"Although the battle was unfavorable, the blame is not mine. Before we sent out the troops, I made it clear many times that the bandits were powerful and the soldiers of one state could not contend with them. They needed the imperial army to come. It was you who took the initiative to march, which led to the disastrous defeat of the army. I Wait to be captured!"
Huang An looked at the prefect and said, he was unwilling to send troops in every possible way at first. If the prefect was willing to listen, why would he lose his master and humiliate his power?
"You actually shirked your responsibility and framed me!"
The prefect of Jeju was furious. He slapped the wood on the table and scolded Huang An. Ever since Sun Lei appeared in Liangshanbo, he had been caught between Tokyo and Liangshanbo every day and suffered. Sun Lei was making trouble in Jeju. They scolded him and urged him to kill the thieves. He was already depressed when he was caught in the middle, and now Huang An actually put the responsibility for the defeat on him.
"Whether it is a frame-up or not, let us, the road inspector and the Xuanfu envoy, tell you clearly!"
Huang An looked at the Jeju magistrate and said coldly.
"you you……"
The prefect of Jeju was furious, but he did not dare to comfort the envoy and Lu. If the matter got serious, he would be responsible.
"Master Magistrate, the war has been over for a long time, why bother mentioning it again. Huang Tuanlian has returned safely today. We should really celebrate. Why not hold a banquet at the government office today to celebrate the return of Huang Tuanlian and everyone!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Song Jiang came out with a smile to smooth things over.
"Huang Tuanlian and everyone have worked hard. Let's go take a shower and change clothes first. Later, there will be a banquet in the office to welcome you all!"
Song Jiang hurriedly said to Huang An and others. When Huang An saw someone trying to persuade them to make peace, he took them away.
"How brave, wait until I put him in prison and banish him to Salmon Island!"
The prefect of Jeju was still angry and lined up the tables and shouted.
"Mr. Magistrate, calm down!"
Song Jiang quickly persuaded him that the prefect could directly judge Tuan Lian for his crimes, but the prefect of Jeju was not qualified because his official rank was not high enough and his dispatch powers were average. He was not as good as Liang Taishu of the famous Prefecture and Murong Prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture, which were both third and fourth grade officials. , the prefect of Jeju is only a sixth-grade official.
From the perspective of dispatches, Liang Zhongshu even judged Daming Prefecture, Murong Yanda was an educated Qingzhou Prefecture, and the Jeju Prefect was only a powerful official in Jeju Prefecture. This power was greatly reduced. Huang An was also a serious eighth-rank military attaché of the imperial court, so Huang An dared to directly move out the Road Supervisor and Xuanfu Division to suppress the Jeju Prefect.
"If I hadn't given Privy Master Song some face today, I would have done something to Huang An!"
The prefect of Jeju finally came to his senses, looked at Song Jiang and said, Song Jiang's sudden opening gave him a step to step down, otherwise he would be stuck and would not be able to get off the stage today.
"Mr. Magistrate, why should you be angry? It's all a happy event! Let's throw all this away at the banquet today."
Song Jiang said with a smile.
"Still throwing a banquet? If I don't give him a hundred slaps, I'll be forgiven him!"
The prefect of Jeju gritted his teeth and said.
"Master Prefect, why is this necessary? We are all colleagues in the same government and should work together."
A strange color flashed in Song Jiang's eyes, and he was a little worried.
"What's the point of working together with that good-for-nothing like him? Why don't you think he's causing enough trouble for me?"
The prefect of Jeju said resentfully that in his opinion, if Huang An hadn't failed in suppressing the bandits, how could he have ended up in this situation?
"Master Magistrate, this Huang Tuanlian is back. He bows his head but doesn't look up. The relationship can't be too tense. This incompatibility in civil and military affairs will only give others an advantage."
Song Jiangruo said pointedly.
"But I just can't swallow this breath... Well, aren't we going to take that Yum to Tokyo recently? Great, let this Huang An go."
The prefect of Jeju suddenly remembered something. In the near future, he would send someone to escort Bai Sheng to Tokyo and send him to Taishi Cai. He was thinking about who would escort him better. Wouldn't it be a good time for Huang An to come back?
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Song Jiang smiled and stood without saying a word.
"Privy Privy Song, you go arrange a banquet, and help Huang An catch the wind today. In a few days, he will escort the prisoner to Tokyo. I will give him a copy first. Once he goes to Tokyo, he will not be able to come back!"
The prefect of Jeju soon had a plan.
"Mr. Magistrate, why do you have to do this?"
Song Jiang pretended to be persuasive and said.
"You don't have to worry about Privy Song. I will trouble you to go to Tokyo when the time comes. This memorial to Huang An must be sent secretly."
The prefect of Jeju lowered his voice and said to Song Jiang.
"Master Prefect!"
Song Jiang wanted to refuse.
"Privy Master Song, please don't refuse. I will not treat Privy Secretary Song badly after the matter is completed."
The prefect of Jeju looked at Song Jiang and said. Seeing this, Song Jiang could only raise his hands and said.
At night, the Jeju government office was full of joy. The Jeju magistrate changed his attitude during the day and smiled and invited Huang An and other people who came back to drink.
Seeing that Shangguan was like this, Huang An put down his anger. As a peacemaker, Song Jiang naturally made his appearance, and he was already the most popular person in Jeju Prefecture.
"Snapped!"
Halfway through the banquet, He Tao rushed out of nowhere and slapped his younger brother He Qing on the face. He had already asked clearly that this younger brother was occupying the family property and was unwilling to redeem him.
A sudden uproar brought the joyful atmosphere of the banquet to an abrupt end, the superficial harmony was broken, and everyone dispersed angrily.
Song Jiang didn't care. After leaving the government office, he drove to a courtyard in the outer city.
"Brother Gong Ming!"
Chao Gai in the courtyard cupped his fists and said to Song Jiang.
"King Chao Tian, there is news. Brother Bai Sheng will be escorted to Tokyo in three days."
Song Jiang smiled and said to Chao Gai, Chao Gai has been coming to Jeju Mansion for a few days and has always wanted to save Bai Sheng. Now he has a chance.
"Didn't you choose the person to escort? Is it Huang An who just came back?"
Wu Yong seemed to have guessed something.
"Yes, it is Huang An. The prefect and Huang An are at odds, and this time they are planning to take the opportunity to drive Huang An away."
Song Jiang nodded.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's get ready right now, and we'll rob someone on the way and leave!"
As soon as Liu Tang heard this, he immediately took the knife and wanted to go out.
"Brother Liu Tang, don't be impulsive. You need to plan this matter carefully. Last time, you were not careful enough and that's how you showed your flaws."
Wu Yong held down Liu Tang's knife and said.
"Pedant, this time is different. We rob someone and leave without fear of being discovered!"
Chao Gai shook his head and said, last time he was Chao Baozheng, so he had to keep it a secret. But this time he was already a strong man at Luocao, so there was no need to hide it anymore.
"Baozheng, you can't say that. We have few people. How can we get back to Baihu Mountain if our whereabouts are exposed? It's better to be careful."
Wu Yong said.
"Xuegu Wu is right, we should be more careful."
Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, and Han Bolong all supported Wu Yong, and they were unwilling to cause extraneous matters.
