He Tao got the information from his younger brother He Bo, and then said goodbye to He Bo. He returned to the government office like a mad dog and a wolf, and hurriedly called to the government officials: "Quick! Come with me and catch the thief!"
After hearing the order, the government officials followed He Tao with swords, guns and sticks, and rushed to Anle Village, East Shili Road, Huangnigang overnight, and captured Bai Sheng, who was under a lantern with his arms exposed, shouting, and spending a lot of money gambling. , caught him and took him to the Yamen.
Bai Sheng was escorted to the lobby. He Tao loudly ordered the government officials: "If you knock this guy down, beat him! Just beat me as hard as you can!"
He Tao was so angry that he was slapped on Bai Sheng's buttocks. He watched as the officials rounded the board and spanked Bai Sheng's butt hard.
The government officials beat her with sticks until her skin and flesh were torn apart, and she cried for her father and mother.
Seeing this, He Tao stopped the yamen and asked Bai Sheng, "You guys, do you want to continue to take the blame? Or do you want to explain the problem?"
Bai Sheng thought to himself, looking at the posture, if I don't explain the problem again, I will be beaten to death by this guy! A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, so I'd better explain it first. So, Bai Sheng shouted loudly: "Master, I will give an account! I will give an account!"
He Tao shouted: "Say!"
Seeing this, the government officials also banged the boards in their hands on the ground, shouting: "Mighty!"
Bai Sheng almost fainted from fear at this formation.
Therefore, Bai Sheng confessed in detail how he followed Chao Baozheng to intercept the birth chart of Grand Master Cai.
The case is serious! Because he was afraid that something would go wrong and Chao Gai's men ran away, He Tao did not dare to delay. He did not wait for dawn, so he was alone and urgent. He galloped to Yuncheng County and asked the Yuncheng County government for cooperation. First arrest Chao Gai and his group of robbers.
He Tao was so anxious that he sat on the horse, waved the whip in his hand, and spanked the horse's butt hard. The horse probably knew that He Tao was in a hurry, so it raised its hooves and galloped on the road leading to Yuncheng County.
When He Tao rode his horse and arrived in front of the Yuncheng County Yamen, the genius was just shining. He Tao jumped off his horse and looked towards the county government office. He happened to see a man coming out of the county government office with his arms swaying.
This person is Song Jiang, who stayed at the Yamen last night and did not return. At this moment, he is coming out to have breakfast.
At this time, Song Jiang had not yet gone to Liangshan. He was serving as a police officer in the county government and raising a street performer named Yan Xijiao at home. Because he had an quarrel with Yan Xijiao, he stayed in the government office last night and did not go home.
He Tao didn't know Song Jiang. He saw that he came out of the yamen. He was walking, swinging his arms and arrogant. He thought he was a business official in the yamen, so he went up to meet Song Jiang, saluted Song Jiang, and asked: "Brother, is the Yuncheng County Magistrate here?"
Song Jiang took a look at He Tao and knew that He Tao was a leader or a police officer. He was basically a colleague, so he hurriedly returned the gift to He Tao.
After returning the gift, Song Jiang replied: "It's so early in the morning, I'm afraid the county magistrate hasn't gotten up yet!"
When He Tao heard this, he was so anxious that he turned around and looked restless.
Seeing He Tao's impatience, Song Jiang was curious and asked, "Where did my brother come from? Are you so anxious for peace?"
He Tao glanced at Song Jiang and hesitated to speak.
Song Jiang said: "This brother, I am the one who oversees Song Jiang in this county. If you have anything to do with me, just tell me. As soon as the county magistrate goes to work, I will take him to see the county magistrate. I don't dare to delay my brother." thing."
He Tao was greatly relieved when he heard that Song Jiang was the police chief of Yuncheng County, and that he was half a colleague, so he came here to request the Yuncheng County Yamen to send Dutou Yamen officers to arrest the robbers in Huangnigang nearby. The robber Chao Gai and others who killed Grandmaster Cai's birthday were killed.
Song Jiang did not know that Chao Gai and others had intercepted the birthday program. When he suddenly heard that He Tao said that the purpose of his trip was to arrest Chao Gai and others who had intercepted the birth program, Song Jiang was heartbroken. shock.
When Song Jiang saw this, he secretly thought: Intercepting Grand Master Cai's birth date is a crime of beheading. Brother Chao Baozheng and I have a life-long friendship. Now, seeing that brother Chao Baozheng is in trouble, how can I, a brother, not care? How could we watch Brother Chao Baozheng being arrested by this guy?
Song Jiang was in a hurry and quickly said to He Tao: "Brother, listen to me. The world's police officers are one family, and I am also responsible for the case documents. I hate these crazy gangs who rob homes and homes the most! Brother, don't be anxious. Since you know who the suspect is, you can't run away. He; however, the county magistrate has not yet come to the Yamen, so he has to wait for the county magistrate to go to work, and the brother recommends the elder brother to see the county magistrate."
He Tao said anxiously: "The matter is urgent, so and so, what should we do?"
Song Jiang said: "My brother is coming from Jeju Prefecture. He is very tired from traveling all the way. You might as well have breakfast with me first. When the magistrate comes to Yamen, I will take my brother to see the magistrate and urge the magistrate to send people immediately to arrest Chao Gai." That guy."
He Tao thought Song Jiang had good intentions and said gratefully to Song Jiang: "Thank you Song Yasi."
Song Jiang said: "Thank you for what?! Say thank you and leave. Let's go have breakfast first."
After that, Song Jiang took He Tao into a restaurant on the street.
Entering the store, Song Jiang said to the waiter: "Man, this is one of my best friends. I have to go out for a while because of something. This friend of mine will drink tea and have some light meals with you first. Tea money, The meal money is mine."
The waiter said: "Oshi, just go ahead and talk about tea money and meal money."
After giving instructions to the waiter, Song Jiang turned to He Tao and said, "Brother, I have a small thing to do. I want to borrow my horse. Brother, please eat your meal first, drink your tea, and wait for me. I'll come back as soon as I go."
He Tao said: "Come here as soon as possible, Mr. Si, we can't delay the official business."
Song Jiang said: "I know, I know, brother, just don't worry."
Song Jiang left the hotel, untied the horse He Tao was riding on when he arrived, jumped up, slapped the horse's butt hard, and the horse galloped away carrying Song Jiang.
Fortunately, horses don't recognize life, just like the elevator in the workplace now, regardless of high or low, just press the button to go up. If Na Ma knew that Song Jiang was not a good person and was tipping off thieves to frame his master, so he hesitated for a while and Song Jiang might not be able to tip off the tip.
At that time, Song Jiang was riding a horse, burning with anxiety, looking at Dongxi Village and galloping away.
Not long after, Song Jiang arrived at Chao Gai's village, jumped off his horse, and broke into Chao Gai's main house.
In the main room, Chao Gaizheng was drinking wine and bragging with Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng and Liu Tang.
Chao Gai was overjoyed when he saw Song Jiang coming in in a hurry, and hurriedly greeted him: "Haha, my dear brother is here, good come! Come and take a seat quickly, I have something good to tell my dear brother!"
Song Jiang said anxiously: "Brother Baozheng, your bad thing has happened. The whereabouts of the brothers who hijacked Grand Master Cai's birthday card have been exposed. Now the Jeju Prefecture is observing He Tao, waiting in front of the county government office to meet with the county magistrate and request for dispatch." Someone arrested the brothers! It happened that the guy met me and was settled in the hotel for breakfast. I rode his horse and came to report the news to my brother. Brother, the matter is urgent. Make plans quickly. I have to go back quickly. This will save He Tao from getting suspicious."
After saying that, Song Jiang came out of the house, turned the horse's head, jumped on it, whipped it a few more times, and returned to the restaurant in front of the county government like a whirlwind.
At this time, He Tao finished drinking tea and breakfast, but Song Jiang didn't come. He was already waiting impatiently. He was standing at the door of the restaurant, stretching his neck, looking longingly into the distance, hoping that Song Jiang would come soon.
From a distance, He Tao saw Song Jiang approaching on horseback. He felt relieved and hurried forward to meet him, saying: "Song Yasi is finally here, brother."
Song Jiang clasped his fists, saluted He Tao, and said casually: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so busy with trivial matters that I kept my brother waiting for a long time."
He Tao said: "The main reason is that the case is urgent. Otherwise, sooner or later, what a big deal?!"
Song Jiang said: "Exactly. I will take my brother to see the county magistrate right now."
Song Jiang then led He Tao to the Yamen, tied the horse and entered the Yamen.
In the yamen, the magistrate has already arrived for work.
Song Jiang and He Tao paid a visit to the county magistrate.
He Tao handed over the official documents from Jeju Government.
The county magistrate was shocked after reading the official document. He sent Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, the commanders of the county, each with more than 20 detectives. Under the supervision of He Tao, they galloped all the way to Dongxi Village to arrest Chao Gai and others.
In Chao Gai's village in Dongxi Village, Chao Gai was shocked when he heard the news from Song Jiang. He hurriedly collected the gold and silver, packed them up, loaded them on his horse, set a fire in the village, and then went with Wu Yong and Wu Yong. Gongsun Sheng, Liu Tang and the bankers ran away. When Chao Gai and others opened the door of the village, they found that the front and back of the village were surrounded by the police officers brought by Zhu Dian and Lei Heng.
Chao Gai became anxious and rushed out with Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Liu Tang and other villagers.
It turned out that Zhu Tong and Lei Heng were secretly having an affair with Chao Gai, and they usually received a lot of money from Chao Gai. When they arrested Chao Gai and others, they were just pretending to deceive He Tao and the Yamen.
Therefore, when Chao Gai and others rushed out of the manor, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng pretended to beat Chao Gai and others, but they failed to show off and pretended to be gods and ghosts, called "Zhaopu". Instead, they protected Chao Gai and escaped.
He Tao was dumbfounded when he saw this.
Chao Gai and his party were as anxious as a bereaved dog and as panicked as a fish that slipped through the net. They fled to Liangshan Pond overnight, but unexpectedly they were not accepted by Wang Lun, the lord of Liangshan. .
At this time, there were five heroes in Liangshan Bo. In addition to Wang Lun, the scholar in white, who sat in the first place, they were Du Qian of Motian, King Kong of Yunli, Song Wan, Lin Chong of Leopard Head, and Zhugui of Dry Land. Second, third, fourth and fifth spots.
Wang Lun, a scholar in white clothes, felt timid when he saw that Chao Gai and others were powerful and powerful in martial arts, so he was unwilling to take Chao Gai and others in.
Wang Lun said: "Brothers coming to Liangshan is really the glory of Liangshan; however, the simple village of Liangshan will only delay the future of my brothers. I have some gold here, brothers. I will give it to my brothers as payment and go to other places."
Chao Gai said: "The leader doesn't know. We have a lot of gold. We were only closely hunted by the government because we hijacked Taishi Cai's birth date. There really was no other place to go. That's why we took refuge in Liangshan. Leader Wanwang accepted us."
When Wang Lun heard this, he thought to himself, these guys hijacked Master Cai's birthday plan and came to Liangshan to escape disaster! Who is Taishi Cai? He is the prime minister of the dynasty. How can he let it go if his birthday is cut off by others? If he sends the imperial army to encircle and suppress us, my Liangshanbo will be completely destroyed.
Thinking of this, Wang Lun did not dare to accept Chao Gai and others.
Seeing this, Chao Gai begged for mercy in every possible way, but Wang Lun refused to agree, finally irritating Lin Chong who was sitting next to him.
Lin Chong, who was sitting in the fourth seat, stood up, pulled out his sword, and rushed towards Wang Lun, who was sitting in the top seat.
When Wang Lun saw this, he stood up and shouted loudly: "Zhuo! What are you going to do?!"
Lin Chong said: "I won't do anything! I just want to kill you, a villain who can't tolerate others!"
