Chapter 129: Implementing the Spirit of Being Forced to Rescue
Chen Liqing?
Hua Baoyan frowned, as it was obviously a woman's name.

My brother actually asked Mr. Gongsun to fast for seven days and predict the fate of a woman on the first day of the Lunar New Year?

She knew the name of "Ruyun Dragon" Gongsun Sheng through Hua Rong before she arrived at Liangshan.

With the cultivation level of the fifth level of Yunshen, one can get a minor official position even in the Taoist palace of the old emperor in Tokyo.

Gongsun Sheng pointed to the east and said, "This girl is in Yizhou."

Yizhou is not far from Jeju, with only Yanzhou in between.

"Since we are in Yizhou..."

Cao Jie raised his lips, "Do you think I will lick Chen Liqing like a dog? Do you think I will be polite and courteous to recruit Chen Xizhen?"

Haha!

Cao Jie laughed wildly and called the "wise man" Wu Yong to conspire with him.

"If this is done, that person will have no way to heaven and no door to the earth."

Hearing about this scheme to wipe out the whole family, Wu Yong's eyes sparkled and he said with a sly grin, "Brother, you are using this scheme to drive the tiger to devour the wolf, why don't you allow me to use a trick to lure people to the mountain? If you could use a poisonous scheme, the 'miracle doctor' An Daoquan that you have always wanted to bring would have been lured to Liangshan long ago."

“It’s different, it’s different!”

Cao Jie shook his head and said, "Some people will become brothers sooner or later. If they go too far, how can they work together in the future? Some people will never become brothers, so they will naturally do whatever they can. Now that we are in power, we must strike first and then we will be in trouble. If we don't use this power, it will expire!"

"In that case, my brother and I will split up and make arrangements."

"Go ahead and make the arrangements. Make sure that person knows how cruel the imperial court is..."

Cao Jie feels like he is a villain, but who told you that you are a character in "God of War".

From a God's perspective, Chen Xizhen and his daughter are born to stand on opposite sides. It's really scary when the thirty-six generals of the Thunder Department come down to earth!

But if you really believe that they are so righteous that they fought to the death to wipe out Liangshan for the sake of the people of the world, then you really overestimate Chen Xizhen.

Chen Xizhen first lived in Yuanbi Village, robbed houses, and used various means to lure people to the mountains. Finally, he was recruited to fight Liangshan.

Is it familiar?

In fact, their behavior is no different in essence from that of Song Jiang's Liangshan. The only difference is that Chen Xizhen and others have always had an inexplicable hatred for Liangshan itself.

Since it was a mortal enemy, there was no need for Cao Jie to show mercy. Taking advantage of the fact that his brothers were all together during the New Year, he gathered a dozen good fighters and headed for Yizhou.

Who are involved in this action?

It is Chao Gai, the "Heavenly King Holding the Pagoda", Gongsun Sheng, the "Dragon Entering the Clouds", Lin Chong, the "Leopard Head", Liu Tang, the "Red-haired Ghost", the three Ruan brothers, Shi Xiu, the "Desperate Sanlang", Deng Fei, the "Fire-eyed Suanni", Lü Fang, the "Little Wenhou", Shi Qian, the "Flea on the Drum"...

With such a luxurious lineup, they will search the mountains and seas to find Chen Xizhen and his daughter.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered Yizhou, Liu Tang heard a piece of information saying that the bandits from Lengyan Mountain, "Flying Marshal" Kuang Jinlong and "Soul-Captivating General" Shamohai, were wiped out by a father and daughter.

Following the clues, they found a place called "Fengyun Manor".

The owner of the manor, Yun Wei, was very happy to hear that the father and daughter had conquered Lengyan Mountain, so he arranged for Chen Liqing and his grandson Yunlong to become sworn brothers.

The owner's son was called Yun Tianbiao. He admired the character of Han Shou Ting Hou Guan Wu'an Wang the most. He wielded a crescent-shaped steel knife, rode a white horse of Dayuan, had phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows, wore a green robe and golden armor, and wore a green scarf and a red face.

Last year, he donated money to become an official and became a military governor in Jingyang Town.

Where is Jingyang Town? It is located in Jingyang Ridge, Yanggu County.

Yanggu County was considered half of Cao Jie's territory, so it would be easy for him to capture the governor.

However, Cao Jie did not act rashly. As the saying goes, "If you don't kill the snake, you will only harm yourself." If you want to cut the grass, you must remove the roots and not give the snake a chance to turn over.

After finding out the approximate locations of the Yun and Liu families related to Chen Xizhen, but without contacting them, Cao Jie also paid a visit to Yizhou prefect Gao Feng and gave him generous gifts. Only then did he feel that the time was almost right.

Who is Gao Feng then?
He is the cousin of Gao Lian, the prefect of Gaotang Prefecture, and the uncle of Gao Qiu! Now, he is your enemy in the officialdom and in the underworld. Even if you have wings, you can't escape from Yizhou, Shandong.

Chen Xizhen could be considered a master of Taoism. Although he felt that a storm was about to come, Gongsun Sheng's spell blocked his calculations.

As the saying goes, if you don't take action, it's fine; but once you take action, it's with the force of thunder.

This is Cao Jie's method!

At the Yuncheng County Government Office, Shi Wenbin met Wu Yong.

"Mr. County Magistrate." Wu Yong performed the scholar's salute, because he had taken time out last year to sit for the scholar examination and finally passed.

"Wu Xuejiu!" Shi Wenbin invited Wu Yong to take a seat and said, "This autumn, Xuejiu must work hard!"

"My Lord, please remind me that today, my students are here to give you a gift of wealth."

"Oh! What is Fugui?"

Knowing that Wu Yong was on good terms with Cao Jie, he immediately sat up straight.

Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way.

Although Shi Wenbin did not extort money from the people and could even be said to love the people like his own children, he accepted bribes, which was a common practice in official circles.

In this day and age, the moral values ​​of the scholar class have lost their bottom line, and many people will do anything to pursue fame and fortune.

At the same time, some places with corrupt morals appeared in society, such as brothels and casinos. These places became places for officials and businessmen to socialize, and further encouraged corruption.

Some officials abused their power and, under the pretext of the urgent need for "adequate food and clothing," seized people's land, levied heavy taxes, and demanded huge bribes, making life difficult for the people and even causing many people to starve to death.

In addition, some officials took advantage of their positions to win over retainers, relatives and friends, forming power groups in the officialdom, further exacerbating the level of corruption in society.

Compared with the magistrate of Yanggu County, Shi Wenbin is really a good official. At least he has a bottom line.

"Your Excellency, do you remember that the Ministry of Justice issued a number of notices last autumn, among which there was a father and daughter named Chen Xizhen and Chen Liqing."

"It seems there is a father and daughter. How come they found it?"

"There are indeed some clues."

"Really? That's the thief that General Gao specifically wanted to arrest."

"If there is no clue, why would I come to report to you. Moreover, I have received information that Chen Xizhen is definitely a fifth-grade pregnant god..."

"hiss!"

Shi Wenbin took a deep breath and felt that this was not going to be easy.

It’s a pity that the birthday gift case has been closed, otherwise we could still throw a basin of dirty water on Chen Xizhen.

However, without the birthday gift, we still have other means.

At the Yanggu County government office, Wu Yong paid a visit in the name of Wu Song.

"Sir, General Wu heard that you lost a batch of gold and silver at the end of last year, but recently he got a piece of news and asked me to tell you."

"Oh! Did you really find out?" County Magistrate Shi Wenkui widened his eyes and was shocked.

Wu Yong covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, "We have found out that it is related to Yun Tianbiao, the governor of Jingyang Town! There are many people in the county government office now, so please don't make it public."

"Okay... General Wu, could you help me catch that thief?"

"As an official, he actually secretly became a robber. How could General Wu tolerate such a grain of sand in his eyes..."
