Chapter 115: Song Jiang took it all
When a person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck in his teeth.
Ever since Cao Jie became famous in Shandong, Song Jiang's luck began to run out. When people in the martial arts world talked about Yuncheng, they only knew of Yan Wangdi and Xiao Mengde, but no one knew of him, the timely rain.
In the county government office, Wen Bin was corrupted by gold and silver, and became close friends with Cao Jie.
He was a petty official and was not worthy of attention at all. He just did all the hard work of ordering people around.
These setbacks are not a big deal. If he works hard as a bailiff, he will have no worries about food and drink and plenty of money. Although a petty official has no status in the eyes of the officials, he is superior to the people and can bring honor to his family.
But tonight, he finally tasted the dangers of the world.
Even if you have all kinds of abilities, are a master of thick-skinned tactics, and have connections in both the black and white worlds, no wisdom or strategy will work when facing Wang Ying, a young man who went straight to the point of taking Zhang Wenyuan's life and then drank half a bowl of sobering soup in one gulp.
Song Jiang felt numb all over!
I was cursing in my heart, the corners of my mouth were twitching as if I was going to have a stroke, and my blood pressure was about to explode.
"Brother, come with me to Jiangzhou! Let's make it bigger and stronger and create more glory. With your great reputation, it will be easy for us to build another Qingfeng Mountain."
Song Jiang stared at Wang Ying in despair. He didn't know whether this bastard had acted on impulse or had pretended to be too sincere and deceived him. In fact, he just wanted to trick him into going up the mountain so that he could use his reputation to rebel.
"I spent all my time hunting geese, but one of them pecked my eyes out!"
But I can't beat him, and I can't capture him to see the authorities. If I fall out with him, I will be the one who suffers!
Outside Yuncheng, it was pitch black, just like his future, the sky and the earth were dark.
Song Jiang finally calmed down, waved his hand and said: "I have a relationship with Mr. Chai from Cangzhou, so I have to seek refuge in his house. Brother, please be careful on your way to Jiangzhou. I wish you a smooth journey and a prosperous career in Jiangzhou. We will say goodbye here and see you later."
It’s better not to meet again!
You are a man-eating monster. I, Song Jiang, can't afford to offend you, but can't I just hide from you?
"Alas! After today's separation, I don't know when we will meet again. My brother is in a hurry to go out, and I have some gold and silver here, you can take it for emergency on the road."
Wang Ying was quite generous. He divided the gold and silver into two and stuffed them into Song Jiang's arms.
Song Jiang did not refuse. He took the gold and silver and ran north without looking back.
Wang Ying looked at Song Jiang's departing back for a long time with a look of regret. He sighed deeply several times before turning south.
…………
"Song Gongming killed Zhang Wenyuan?"
"And you ate half of his heart and liver?"
When Cao Jie heard the news of the murder, he was also shocked and incredulous. He thought to himself: I have married Yan Poxi and posed in 108 ways, so why didn't Song Jiang escape this disaster? Is this a plot kill, a conclusion to the timeline? Don't let the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens really control all this!
Thinking of Chen Liqing, who was deduced by Gongsun Sheng, Cao Jie couldn't help but feel worried.
"elder brother!"
Shi Qian had been running back and forth all night and looked listless. He pulled himself together and said, "I went to see the hangover soup, which was exactly the same as the one at Qingfeng Mountain. I also visited around Song Yasi's house and was sure that it was the short-legged tiger Wang Ying who did it. I just don't know how he got involved with Song Jiang and got him into trouble."
"Where are Song Jiang's people?"
"He escaped, and the dwarf tiger is nowhere to be found. Brother Liu Tang is looking for him now..." Cao Jie pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I will go back to see County Magistrate Shi and see how he decides the case."
The dwarf Wang Ying is just a small follower, not worth mentioning, but Song Jiang cannot be taken lightly.
I originally thought that he was just doing his job as a bailiff, and that we were all doing well.
Now he has embarked on the path of breaking the law and committing crimes, and has fallen to the bottom of his life, and then there is a high possibility that he will rise again.
Considering Song Jiang's ruthlessness, if it is coupled with those factors destined by fate, one must be on guard!
…………
In the Yuncheng County Government Office, Shi Wenbin looked quite regretful.
During the past two years as an official in Yuncheng, Song Jiang, a local tyrant, was the bailiff, and he took care of all the troublesome matters, so the master didn't have to worry about it.
Now that he has killed someone and escaped, and has lost his right-hand man, how can Shi Wenbin not feel sorry for him?
"The murderer was indeed Song Yasi's clothes-pressing knife... You say, our Song Yasi has always been a kind and honest person, how could he kill someone? And he ate Zhang Wenyuan's heart and liver, isn't this a frame-up?"
Cao Jie nodded and agreed, "I also believe in the character of Song Yashi, but eating human hearts and livers is too horrifying and has caused panic among the people of the whole city. What is your judgment, sir?"
"Alas! The current stage is to find Ya Shi Song. If he escapes, we can't help him even if we want to. Lei Heng has already gone to Songjiazhuang. Let's wait for him to come back and see if we can find any clues about Ya Shi Song. You said he is fine, why would he run away? The worst that can happen is that he will be exiled! He can come back after the amnesty. Can we really beat him with twenty strokes of the cane?"
A murder lawsuit, but in your mouth, Shi Wenbin, it's just a trivial matter.
Alas! If the Song Dynasty does not perish, it will be against the will of heaven!
"Sir, do you know Qingfeng Mountain in Qingzhou?" Cao Jie asked.
Shi Wenbin just sat up and asked curiously, "The Qingfeng Mountain that Wu Erlang wiped out? I heard that Wu Erlang has become the military commander of Qingzhou. He is indeed a hero that Shi has taken a fancy to!"
"It was Qingfeng Mountain. I was in Qingzhou that day. Wu Erlang defeated three demons from Qingfeng Mountain and killed two of them on the spot. However, a short-legged tiger named Wang Ying escaped. This person especially likes to eat human hearts and livers. I saw half a bowl of hangover soup in Song Yasi's house that was very similar to that from Qingfeng Mountain. Could it be..."
"Snapped!"
Shi Wenbin slapped the table, stood up and said excitedly: "It is true! It is true! This thief must have harmed Zhang Wenyuan."
"That birthday gift..." Cao Jie reminded him halfway.
"Yes! At this time of year, the dwarf tiger appeared in our Yuncheng. It is very likely related to the thieves who robbed the birthday gift."
Shi Wenbin has been very worried over the past month.
Such a vicious incident happened on his territory, so it would be fine if Liang Zhongshu came to hold him accountable, but he couldn't afford to offend Master Cai!
If you can't solve the case, you'll never get promoted in this life.
Shi Wenbin frowned and paced back and forth. Soon, he said to the master who was reviewing the documents outside in a very affirmative tone:
"I trusted Song Jiang so much. If he hadn't colluded with the short-legged tiger, how could he have robbed the birthday gift quietly? Pass my order to post notices throughout the county to search for the two thieves Song Jiang and Wang Ying. And report to the government office as soon as possible..."
Cao Jie raised his eyebrows slightly: "Sir, I don't think Song Jiang is that kind of person."
"Erlang, you can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart! Song Jiang has always spent money like water and likes to make friends with heroes. With his salary, how could he have the money to be the timely rain? He must have robbed the birthday gift, and even the big case last year was done by him."
Just now, you, Shi Wenbin, wanted to help Song Jiang survive this disaster, but when you heard about the birthday gift, you threw the dirty water on him. You changed your face too quickly, didn't you? !
Forget it, you, Song Jiang, will have to take the blame for a while.
I, Cao Jie, will let the bullets fly for a while to see whether you, Song Jiang, are really protected by a god.
