The two stood there looking at Yunze. The handsome young man had a knife on his waist, while the middle-aged man had the same gun stuck on the ground next to him. Behind him is a horse.
Seeing Yunze's arrival, the man's expression was cold, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. His gaze was like that of a cheetah, cold and domineering.
"Are those you gave me true?" Seeing Yunze's arrival, the middle-aged man in front of him opened his mouth and asked.
"Is it true? Why don't Master Lu Sanzhai go check it out yourself? Anyway, you have time. Besides, your wife is now on good terms with your housekeeper. I think you should know about this matter. You go back It's best to disguise yourself, otherwise, you may be jailed."
Yunze said calmly to the person in front of him, this person was Lu Junyi, the current commander of Liangshan San. The person following him was Yan Qing. His most loyal servant.
"Master of the village, leave this matter to Yan Qing...I will definitely bring news to the master within three days!" Yan Qing turned to look at Lu Junyi and said.
"No need... I must investigate this matter myself. You go back to Liangshan for the time being and don't tell others about my whereabouts. If anyone asks, just say that I went to visit a friend and prepare to bring him with me to Liangshan!"
Lu Junyi shook his head and said with a cold expression.
Having said this, he turned to look at Yunze, cupped his hands and said: "Master Yun, if this matter is true, Lu will thank you here. If it is not true, then please forgive Lu for not being able to Accept your imperial edict. Say goodbye to this. It can take as short as three days or as long as five days. Lu will definitely come back and give you an answer."
After saying this, Lu Junyi got on his horse, urged his horse and left the place. Yan Qing looked at Lu Junyi in the distance. He turned to look at Yunze, cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you, sir, for letting my village owner know the truth. In fact, I have some suspicions about this matter, but there is no evidence. If it is true as your Lord said, then your kindness to my village owner is too great. Yan Qingfen is in trouble. Report."
When Yunze heard this, he waved his hand and smiled slightly.
This Yan Qing is a loyal person. Compared to most of the murderers and swindlers in Liangshan, who are completely evil, he is much kinder. He was very skilled in martial arts, but he almost never killed anyone.
"Yan Qing, there is no need to say thank you. I just hope that you and the owner of your village will not be confused and associate with thieves. People like the gang in Liangshan who kill and sell goods and do all kinds of evil. Do you think there can be a future by being associated with them? I'll wait for you. When the master comes back, let’s have a good talk with him!”
Yunze waved his hand, turned around and left with Xing'er.
In addition to meeting Lin Chong, he came here this time to meet Lu Junyi as requested. Lu Junyi wanted to make sure that what Yunze told him was true or false.
After all, Xing'er found someone to give him the stuff, and he wasn't sure whether Yunze, the imperial envoy he heard about, was real or fake.
Originally, Yunze thought that when Lu Junyi met, he would ask him to prove his identity, such as showing his official seal or something. But Lu Junyi obviously believed it after seeing him.
He now wants to confirm as soon as possible whether what Yunze told him is true or false.
Yunze is not worried about this. After all, what he said is true. For example, Song Jiang designed to frame Lu Junyi in order to force him to go up the mountain. Lu Junyi's wife is now hooking up with his housekeeper.
Lu Junyi could have been his rich man, but he was harmed so miserably by Song Jiang. But Lu Junyi confirmed that this was true. It is very likely that Lu Junyi will kill Song Jiang directly.
However, Yunze believed that Lu Junyi was not that stupid and could not put himself in danger. If he wanted to kill Song Jiang, he would choose the best time.
As for how Lu Junyi will find out the results of his investigation, Yunze will help him. After all, Li Gu was also involved in this matter. With a little force, Lu Junyi could find out clearly.
Now, all that's left is waiting.
On the other side, Zhu Gui met Song Jiang, and he told Song Jiang what happened at the foot of Liangshan Mountain. Song Jiang, who was in a blessed state, looked at Zhu Gui with burning eyes. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
He said to Wu Yong on the side: "Military advisor, what do you think of this matter?!"
Hearing this, Wu Yong shook the cattail leaf fan in his hand and said, "I'm afraid this is really possible. I heard that Yunze is very treacherous and wants to alienate my Liangshan brothers. It's really possible!"
Speaking of this, Wu Yong looked at Hua Rong and said, "Brother Hua Rong, go check and see which brothers have gone down the mountain today?"
Hearing this, Hua Rong nodded and walked out.
Song Jiang looked at Wu Yong, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said: "The military advisor suspects that Yunze is colluding with my brothers on the mountain?"
Although he was very popular in Liangshan, there were only five people who were truly loyal to him. Apart from Zhu Gui in front of him, there were only Li Kui, Hua Rong, Wu Yong, and Dai Zong. The rest of them respected him on the surface, but they were also more considerate.
Especially after Chao Gai's death this time, there was some estrangement between him and several of Chao Gai's close brothers. Huang Gai always advocated confrontation with the court and did not want to recruit peace.
But Song Jiang always wanted to recruit peace, and did not want to become a rogue bandit. He approached Huang Gai countless times about this matter. Although he didn't get angry, there was a gap between them.
This time, I don’t know what happened, but it was rumored in Liangshan that Song Jiang was responsible. Song Jiang did make a small move in this matter.
For example, he colluded with people in Zengtou City to expose Chao Gai's position. Otherwise, Chao Gai would not have been shot to death by Shi Wengong's arrow.
But this was done in a very secretive way, and no one could possibly know about it. But now someone on Liangshan Mountain was actually spreading the news. This made him feel that the situation he had just stabilized and the leading position he had just taken was probably not guaranteed.
Therefore, Song Jiang wanted to deal with a few people to establish his authority, and now was a good opportunity. As long as you find enough reasons to kill a few to honor the monkey, it's still okay.
Of course, the person he kills also needs to be killed by others. It is best if the relationship is not complicated and the person is not popular with others. This plays the role of killing the chicken and respecting the monkey to establish authority. It won't make others feel cold.
"Brother, don't you already have some calculations in your heart?" Wu Yong looked at Song Jiang mysteriously. The two looked at each other and became dumbfounded in front of Zhu Gui.
Wu Yong was Song Jiang's most important confidant. Of course he knew what Song Jiang was thinking. The reason why he sang here was just to show Zhu Gui.
"The military advisor is right. If someone really betrays Liangshan, for the sake of the overall situation and the safety of all the brothers, Song can only endure the pain and get rid of him!"
He said with some sadness, his expression was as if he really missed his brotherhood and couldn't bear to take action.
"Brother, if someone really wants to harm the brothers, even if he is a brother in Liangshan, he will never be spared... he must be killed!" Zhu Gui said quickly.
At this time, several other Liangshan commanders who were close to Song Jiang also spoke up quickly. They are hardly one hundred and eight generals. But the status is not much lower.
Soon, Hua Rong came back. He bowed his hands to Song Jiang and said, "Brother, I found out that there are sixteen brothers who went out today, namely, Yang Zhi, Shi Qian... Shi Xiu, Lin Chong, and Lu San. , and Yan Qing."
Wu Yong and Song Jiang looked at each other, with a different meaning in their eyes. Song Jiang then turned to look at Hua Rong and said, "Where are they going? Is there any report..."
Liangshan's outings are all reported. Although it is very loose, it is also very strict.
"Back to brother, they have all reported. However, the whereabouts of Yang Zhi, Lin Chong and Shi Xiu are a bit unclear... They just said they were going out to relax."
When Song Jiang heard this, a bright light suddenly surged in his eyes. He quickly spoke to Hua Rong: "Brother Hua Rong, send someone immediately to capture the three of them... take them to the meeting hall!"
When Hua Rong heard this, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
"Brother, this..." He looked a little embarrassed. He was asked to arrest someone who was Liang Shan's brother, so he was a little reluctant to do so. After all, when we became sworn friends, we promised to share hardships and enjoy blessings together.
He is not as complicated as Song Jiang thought, but his loyalty to Song Jiang is unmatched.
"They betrayed Liangshan and are no longer our brothers." Song Jiang said to Hua Rong.
When Hua Rong heard this, his expression became even more complicated. He opened his mouth and said: "Brother, what Brother Zhu Gui said is just speculation. I am afraid that this matter is a trick of the Yunze envoy. Don't be fooled."
"Brother, this is a troubled time in Liangshan. Moreover, do you know that some time ago, Yang Zhi, Shi Xiu, and Lin Chong opposed the recruitment. Do you think they have a deep hatred for the court and will wait for the recruitment with peace of mind! Moreover, especially Yang Zhi, Lin Chong, and Mr. Gao have a deep hatred. Aren’t they worried that Mr. Gao will cause trouble for them after they are recruited?”
"Brother, I am thinking about all the brothers in Liangshan. If they really surrender to the enemy, then our Liangshan will be finished. I can't ignore the safety of Liangshan for the sake of the brotherhood of the three of them. Kill three people and protect Liangshan. Peace, that’s for all of us, that’s tens of thousands of people!”
Song Jiang patted Hua Rong's shoulder and said.
Hearing this, Hua Rong looked at Song Jiang blankly, and finally nodded. Song Jiang's words convinced him.
Furthermore, he didn't have much affection for Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, and Shi Xiu. Thinking that the three of them might really surrender to the enemy, Liangshan would be doomed. Even if he talks about brotherhood, he will never show mercy.
"I know, brother, I'm going to arrest them now..." Hua Rong handed over and left.
Song Jiang and Wu Yong looked at each other and stood up and headed towards Liangshan's meeting hall. When the two people made eye contact, there was a fierce look in their eyes.
It was not entirely unreasonable for them to find Lin Chong, Shi Xiu and Yang Zhi. Especially Lin Chong and Yang Zhi, these two are most likely to betray Liangshan.
After all, his recruitment plan had offended Yang Zhi and Lin Chong, and it was highly possible that they held grudges. He even felt that Yang Zhi and Lin Chong might have betrayed.
Since this was the case, they would rather kill by mistake than let Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and Shi Xiu survive. Kill the right one and solve the Liangshan crisis. If killed wrongly, it also plays the role of killing the chicken to respect the monkey and stifling the crisis.
After all, his recruitment plan would definitely arouse resentment in the hearts of Yang Zhi and Lin Chong. Keeping such a person around will only be very detrimental to him.
