Shi Jin said: "Come on, you will be under house arrest here for a few days.
Follow me for a walk."
Hu Sanniang asked: "Where to go?"
Shi Jin said: "Li Daguan from Lijiazhuang always sends troops to rescue the Hu family whenever something happens.
I must express my gratitude."
Shi Jin didn't even bother to tell the Hu family, and just took Hu Sanniang out.
Arriving at Lijiazhuang, Du Xing heard that Shi Jin had come in and hurriedly came out and invited Shi Jin and his party into the village.
"Master Shi, sit down for a moment.
I will go and ask the senior officials to come out."
Not long after Du Xing entered, Li Ying came out.
As soon as they met, Shi Jin immediately stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Li Daguan is indeed a man who keeps his promises.
He came to the rescue as soon as he heard something happened in Hujiazhuang.
If it weren't for Li Daguan, I'm afraid my wife would inevitably be imprisoned.
Shi Jin is here Thank you” Seeing this, Li Ying hurriedly supported Shi Jin to prevent him from bowing down, and said: "My Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang have an alliance agreement, and it is a matter of responsibility.
But Master Shi is being polite."
Shi Jin said: "Yes, Hujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang have an alliance agreement.
It's not Shi Jin's turn to say anything.
But Hu Sanniang is my wife, so I must be grateful."
Li Ying understood what Shi Jin meant as soon as he heard it.
From now on Hujiazhuang will be Hujiazhuang, and from now on Hu Sanniang will be a member of the Shi family.
Li Ying hurriedly said: "I don't know when I can drink the wedding wine of Master Shizhai."
Shi Jin laughed loudly and said, "It's coming, it's coming."
"Then congratulations to Master Shi, congratulations to Madam Hu," Li Ying said with his hands raised to Shi Jin and Hu Sanniang.
Du Xing also hurriedly congratulated Shi Jin and Hu Sanniang.
Hearing the congratulations from these two people, Hu Sanniang's face turned red and she looked like a little girl.
After Shi Jin and Li Ying sat down again, Shi Jin looked at Li Ying and said, "Shi Jin came here today because he has something important to tell Mr.
Li."
"Oh, what's the matter" "In the past few days, our army has successively captured Qingzhou City and Xucheng."
"What?"
Li Ying and Du Xing were stunned when they heard that Shi Jin led troops to conquer Qingzhou City and Xucheng.
"This, this, Master Shi is too bold, isn't Master Shi preparing to rebel?"
Seeing Li Ying's worried and frightened look, Shi Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr.
Li.
We retreated within a few days after capturing two cities.
We did not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
I heard that Shi Jin led his people to withdraw and did not occupy the city.
This means that Shi Jin and the others did not want to rebel, but it was still a big deal.
There is nothing wrong with seizing the mountain and becoming the king.
There are many bandits doing this in various places.
This local government has always suppressed people wherever they could.
It cannot be suppressed.
As long as the bandits do not cause too much trouble, these officials will try their best to suppress the matter and not report it for the sake of their own political achievements.
When his term is up, the trouble will be passed on to the next one.
At that time, no matter how big the flood will be in the future, it will have nothing to do with him.
But if you attack a city, that's another story.

This is a blatant declaration of war against the imperial court.
Local officials simply cannot suppress it.
Li Ying frowned and said: "It is a serious crime to attack the city.
The court will not let you go easily."
"Well, yes, that's why I'm informing you to remind Mr.
Li to be careful."
Li Ying was not the second generation ancestor of Hu Cheng Na.
He led troops to assist Hujiazhuang that day.
When he saw that they were officers and soldiers, he knew that the matter was troublesome.
Now when he heard what Shi Jin said, Li Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Master Shi Zhai has done harm to our Li family."
Shi Jin smiled and said: "Hujiazhuang has decided to move his family to Liangshan.
What are Mr.
Li's plans?"
Hearing that the Hu family was moving to Liangshan, Li Ying's face became even more bitter.
If the imperial army presses the border, it will be difficult for Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang to resist together.
Now that Hujiazhuang is gone, it will be even more difficult for the weak Lijiazhuang to resist.
After figuring out the joints, Li Ying stood up and raised his hands and said: "Master Shi Zhai, Li Ying also wants to move his family to Liangshan, and please ask Master Shi Zhai to take him in."
Shi Jin smiled and said: "It is our blessing in Liangshan that Mr.
Li Daguan can join us in the great cause.
We are too late to welcome him."
"Since Master Shi is willing to take us in, I will ask people to clean up.
Follow Master Shi up the mountain."
"good" After staying in Dulonggang for two days, Shi Jin was preparing to lead the people from Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang back when Liangshan spies sent a message.
After hearing this, Shi Jin said to Luan Yanyu: "Brother Luan, I would like to trouble you to escort the two families back to Liangshan.
I just got the news.
As expected, Murong Yanda arrested Qin Ming and will be escorted to Beijing for interrogation in two days. .
I will take people to rescue him and invite him up the mountain."
Luan Yanyu said: "Okay, big brother" After Shi Jin warned Hu Sanniang and Li Ying, he led thirty cavalrymen and rushed to rescue Qin Ming.
On the official road in Qingzhou, Qin Ming was slowly walking towards the capital, shackled and escorted by two servants.
At the fourth watch of the day, two businessmen called Qin Ming up and hurried on.
When he was trying to force a confession, Qin Ming's legs were beaten to pieces.
It's early May and the weather is hot.
The wounds were filled with abscesses.
Every time Qin Ming took a step, his legs hurt so much that he couldn't walk fast at all.
How could those two servants care about it?
Qin Ming was previously the commander of the Qingzhou Command Department, and he kept urging from behind with a water and fire stick.
Whenever Qin Ming walked a little slower, the two tolerants would hit Qin Ming's thigh wound with a stick, "Quickly walk, don't dawdle, if you dare to walk slower, I will beat you to death."
Qin Ming was so proud that even though the pain from the beating was severe, he still managed not to cry out.
With the wound bleeding like this, Qin Ming walked nearly twenty miles that day.
The sky is dark, and except for a pine forest not far ahead, there is no village in front and no shop behind.
One of the servants shouted: "It's because you were walking so slowly that the time was wasted.
Just spend the night here tonight and set off again tomorrow morning."
The three people walked into the pine forest, packed their luggage and placed them under the trees.
Qin Ming endured the pain and walked such a long way, feeling tired and sleepy.
As soon as he sat down against the tree trunk, Qin Ming's eyelids trembled.

The two servants saw that Qin Ming was sleepy and seemed to be asleep.
They looked around and saw no one around.
They took out a thick rope from the package, grabbed one end of each other, and immediately circled the tree trunk several times, tying Qin Ming tightly to the tree trunk.
His chest and abdomen were tightly bound.
Qin Ming was immediately awakened.
When he saw the official tied himself to the tree trunk, he hurriedly shouted: "What do you two mean?"
The two servants picked up the water and fire sticks, looked at Qin Ming and shouted: "It's not that we wanted to harm you, it was Master Zhizhou who killed you on the way.
You are going to die anyway, why bother to suffer more.
The two of us also You can go back quickly and don’t blame us two.
It’s just an order given by Master Zhizhou.
I don’t dare to disobey the King of Hell.
If you want to redress your grievances, remember to go to Master Zhizhou.”
The two servants immediately picked up the water and fire sticks and hit Qin Ming on the head.
It's too late, but it's soon.
When the two tolerants just raised their sticks, they heard two whooshes, and two sharp arrows flew over, one from the left and the other from the right, directly passing through the chests of the two tolerants.
They looked at the arrows on their chests that were still dripping with blood, and the loss of strength in their bodies disappeared.
Soon, Bian's eyes darkened and his body fell limp.
When Qin Ming saw two businessmen trying to take his life, he felt regretful.
He had known that he should have stayed in Liangshan.
Even if he became a thief, it would be better to die here than to die in vain and have to bear the stain of being greedy for life and fearing death and taking refuge in bandits. .
Qin Ming closed his eyes and accepted his fate.
Ke heard something unusual, and when he opened his eyes, he only saw the two tolerance officers with arrows stuck in their backs, falling to the ground, dead.
Qin Ming raised his head and saw dozens of people dismounting and running towards him in the distance.
When they got closer, Qin Ming saw clearly that it was Jiuwen Long Shijin, the leader of the Liangshan bandits.
As soon as Shi Jin ran over, he hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Shi Jin came in too late.
It's time to make General Qin suffer."
After saying that, Shi Jin put the good bow back into his bow bag, took out his sword, and cut off the shackles and iron chains on Qin Ming's body with one blow.
Two pieces of wooden plywood fell to the ground.
Qin Ming resumed the activity of his hands and stood up holding on to the tree trunk.
He looked at Shi Jin and felt uneasy.
The reason why I have fallen to this point is because of this guy.
But now that someone saved his life, Qin Ming was not an ungrateful person.
He raised his hand to Shi Jin and said, "Thank you, Master Shi, for saving me."
Shi Jin looked at the wounds on Qin Ming's legs and cursed: "I should have killed Murong Zhizhou that day, but I didn't expect that he was so soft-hearted that he made General Qin suffer.
Damn it, Qin Ming worked hard for the imperial court and rushed to kill him in the battle.
Foremost.
Even if you are arrested, you still refuse to surrender.
You are really a loyal minister.
I didn’t expect that dog officer Murong Yanda to treat you like this.
I feel wronged for General Qin.”
Qin Ming looked at Shi Jin as if he had been complaining for himself, but in fact he had been talking about how ruthless and unjust the court was.
Qin Ming said impatiently: "Master Shi, I heard that you took my family away.
What did you do to them?"
"Oh, General Qin, you misunderstood me.
I didn't arrest your family, I invited them.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I invited your family to Liangshan as guests.
General Qin, you must know that Murong Yanda is a despicable person.
You were defeated.
After I was arrested, I knew that guy Murong Yanda would never let you go. .
You are determined to go back.
I am afraid that Murong Yanda will use your family to threaten you into submission.
Therefore, after I conquered Qingzhou City, for the safety of your family, I sent a false message and invited your family to the mountain.
Don't worry, General Qin.
Your family is safe on the mountain and you can go up there to see them at any time.”
Qin Ming sneered: "You brought my family to Liangshan and said it was for me.
Master Shi is really kind and righteous."
When Qin Ming mentioned the word benevolence and righteousness, his tone increased.
Shi Jin said cheekily and nonchalantly, "It's a trivial matter.
General Qin doesn't need to thank you anymore."
"You" Qin Ming gritted his teeth with hatred when he heard it.
Shi Jin pointed to the two corpses on the ground and said: "General Qin, look at these two guys lying on the ground.
These two businessmen are probably Murong Yanda, who is afraid that you will talk nonsense after you go to the capital, so he wants to end it halfway.
You.
It doesn’t matter if you say you are afraid of fleeing or that you were rescued by fellow bandits, you won’t be able to defend yourself, right?”
Qin Ming fell into silence immediately after hearing this.
Shi Jin looked Qin Ming squarely in the face and said, "I admire Qin Ming's bravery, so I wanted to recruit you.
But I'm not the kind of person who likes to threaten or force others.
Now that General Qin has been rescued, it doesn't matter if you don't want to go up the mountain.
I Just ask someone to send your family down the mountain to reunite with you.
What are you going to do in the future?
Return to Qingzhou and surrender.
Do you think Murong Yanda will let you go?"
Qin Ming heard what he wanted to say, but finally shut up.
The Song Dynasty valued literature over military affairs and treated military generals harshly.
Unless a civil official committed a serious crime of treason, no matter what crime he committed, if he was serious, he would be demoted, lose his position, and more importantly, he would be exiled.
No beheading, no punishment.
If a general makes a mistake, the lighter one will be severely beaten, and the more serious one will be beheaded.
Qin Ming was also a little frustrated with the imperial court.
I, Qin Ming, am loyal to the court, but the court treats me like a pig.
Thinking of me, Qin Ming, the dignified Qingzhou Commander, Murong Yanda could arrest him whenever he wanted, beat him whenever he wanted, and kill him whenever he wanted.
What's the point of what I, a general, do?
Although he was dissatisfied with Shi Jin's behavior, it also showed that people valued him.
Anyway, it is impossible to return to Qingzhou now, as his family is still in Liangshan.
Qin Ming sighed and said: "Although Master Shi has good intentions and wants to keep Qin Ming, he is doing harm to Qin Ming's disloyalty and unrighteousness."
Shi Jin smiled and said: "As the saying goes, the emperor is unkind and the ministers are unfaithful.
It was the court that was unkind in the first place, so how can you blame General Qin for being unfaithful?"
When Qin Ming heard this, he was silent for a while and raised his hands and said: "Qin Ming is willing to go up the mountain and submit to the master of Shizhai.
Please take him in."
Shi Jin said with a smile: "Hahaha, Brother Qin is willing to go up the mountain.
I'm not happy yet, so how dare I push it out?"

Qin Ming's feet were injured and he could neither walk nor ride a horse.
Shi Jin asked his men to find a carriage, which was covered with three quilts.
He asked Qin Ming to lie on the carriage, applied gold sore medicine to the wound, and hurried back to Liangshan.
After walking on the road for five days, the group finally returned to Liangshan.
Shi Jin invited all Qin Ming's family members to meet Qin Ming.
He also asked An Daoquan to give Qin Ming careful diagnosis and treatment.
As soon as he came back, Shi Jin didn't even bother to take care of Zhang Yan and Hu Sanniang.
He was busy arranging for Qin Ming's family and the people from Hujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang to stay, and distributed the supplies snatched from Qingzhou City and Xucheng.
When Shi Jin was busy walking around, Zhu Gui walked in and said, "Brother, Chao Gai and Song Jiang want to see you."
When Shi Jin heard that Chao Gai and Song Jiang were coming, he was very curious about how they came to Liangshan, so he asked, "Do you know what they came to do?"
Zhu Gui replied: "It seems that I am interceding for a few old acquaintances.
They have come three or four times.
Because the eldest brother said before that the captured officers and soldiers must find a way to surrender, and we dare not make the decision.
So we have to ask them to choose Come again tomorrow.
Now that they heard that the eldest brother was back, they hurried up the mountain to see him."
Shi Jin nodded and said, "Please invite them in."
When he heard that Chao Gai was coming up the mountain, Wu Yong was also surprised and rushed to Zhongyi Hall.
As soon as Wu Yong arrived, Chao Gai and Shi Jin walked into the Zhongyi Hall.
Several people met each other, saluted each other, and sat down separately.
Shi Jin held the tea bowl and said, "I don't know what the purpose of the two coming here is."
After Chao Gai and Song Jiang looked at each other, Chao Gai stood up and said: "Master Shi Zhai, the two of us came here to ask for a favor from Master Shi Zhai, so we let go of these two old acquaintances.
Brother Wu Yong also knows them." of."
When Wu Yong heard that he recognized him, he was surprised and said: "Could it be Zhu Dian, the handsome bearded man, and Lei Heng, the winged tiger?"
At this time, Song Jiang also stood up and said: "It is these two, they are both good men who are loyal and generous.
It's just that both of them are the heads of Yuncheng County and have the emperor's orders, so they have to become enemies of the Shizhai leader.
For our sake, Master Shi, please let these two brothers go free.
We are very grateful."
When he heard that it was Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, Wu Yong hesitated for a moment and then said: "Brother, these two people are Wu Yong's old acquaintances.
Please show mercy and let these two go."
Beautiful bearded male Zhu Tong with winged tiger and Lei Heng Shi Jin suddenly felt a pity when he heard that these two people were among the officers and soldiers he captured.
Although these two people are not invincible, they still have abilities.
If he had known about them, he should have gone to recruit them personally.
It's a pity that they are just heads.
I'm afraid that the registered soldiers don't take them seriously at all, so no one comes to report them.
Should we let them go now?
