On Qingfeng Mountain, several battles were inevitable in the end.
Rather than let his wife and younger sister accompany him to Qingfeng Mountain and suffer in fear,
It would be better to let them stay in Liangshan.
At least you can stay safe.
"Let my sister do whatever she wants,"
Hua Rong replied.
"As for my wife, please tell Chief Lü to let her stay at Liangshan with my sister for a few days. Once things have settled down at Qingfeng Mountain, I will send someone to fetch her."
Although Lü Fang found it strange,
It's one thing for Hua Rong to ignore the girl, but...
Why don't you even care about your wife anymore?
But since Hua Rong has spoken,
He had no choice but to write down what was said.
After I get back, I will tell Zhao Yuan.
That's about enough for this part.
Wu Erlang led the villagers of Kong Family Village,
They also checked each of the group members one by one.
The three members of the Kong family, father and sons, are indeed not included.
But in Kongjiazhuang,
Previously, he had followed Kongming and Kongliang in committing evil deeds, gaining twelve rogue servants.
Long Wang San, Short Li Si, Urgent Sanqian, Slow Babai, Fen on the Basket, Maggot in the Shit, Worm in the Rice, Fart in the Rice, Thorn on the Bird, Sha Xiaosheng, Brother Muban, and Niujin, among others, were all recognized.
He has now been captured and tied up by a group of soldiers.
"Chief Hua, Brother Wu and I have come here on Brother Zhao's orders to bring the three Kong family members back to Kong Family Village,"
Seeing this, Lü Fang spoke frankly.
"These three men, father and sons, have committed numerous atrocities in Kongjiazhuang. Magistrate Hua is a hero, surely he wouldn't protect them?"
"Chief Lü, please don't provoke me,"
Hua Rong chuckled lightly.
"But now, even if I tell you where the father and his two sons went, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up. And even if you do, it will be too late."
"We are all cavalry, there's nothing we can't catch up with,"
Wu Song shouted,
“If you have something to say, then say it quickly, don’t beat around the bush.”
"Second Brother Wu, don't be anxious,"
Lü Fang calmed Wu Erlang down.
He then frowned and asked,
"Please tell us the truth about what Hua Zhizhai meant."
"As of now, I won't hide it from you anymore."
Hua Rong smiled wryly.
"The three members of the Kong family, father and sons, each with two horses, had already been led to Qingfeng Mountain by my brother Song Jiang."
"Even if you are all cavalry, how can you catch up with them?"
"Furthermore, even if you catch up, the three members of the Kong family have already been taken to Qingfeng Mountain. Do you think you can ask King Chao for them back?"
"So that's how it is. Magistrate Hua, your group was simply sent by Song Jiang to buy time."
Lü Fang suddenly realized,
After hearing that Chao Gai had been recruited at Qingfeng Mountain,
He was indeed in a bit of a dilemma.
Although Wu Song, who was standing nearby, had also heard of Chao Gai's reputation,
However, he had no prior acquaintance with the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.
They wouldn't consider saving face either.
He then led his cavalry in pursuit.
But Lü Fang stopped him.
"Second Brother Wu, let's go back first and let your brother decide on this matter."
“Brother Lü Fang, I’ve also heard of King Chao’s name from Brother Zhao,”
Wu Song asked, puzzled,
"Even the place where Chao Gai settled, Qingfeng Mountain, was given to him by Brother Zhao. Why should we be polite to him?"
"Brother Wu, you may not know this, but Brother Zhao once said that he kept Chao Gai and Song Jiang alive for a reason."
Lü Fang explained,
"We are not afraid of Chao Gai, but we are afraid that he will ruin Brother Zhao's plans."
When Wu Song heard him say that,
That's when they gave up the idea of continuing the pursuit.
Together with Lü Fang, they escorted the twelve villagers from Kong Family Village who had committed atrocities.
They returned to Kongjia Village.
And Hua Rong,
Then they continued with Song Jiang and his family, heading towards Qingfeng Mountain.
........
Kongjiazhuang
(Zhao Hao) The villagers were celebrating loudly with laughter as they received the land they had been allocated.
After seeing Lü Fang and Wu Song escorting the twelve farmhands back to the manor,
There were villagers who had been bullied,
They immediately rushed forward,
They recounted the evil deeds these twelve people had committed.
Liangshan didn't delay for half of the time either.
After the public trial
They then directly executed the twelve farmhands who had committed countless evil deeds.
They shall all be beheaded!
All the villagers were overjoyed.
The leaders of Liangshan had just heard the villagers recount how they had been bullied,
They were all filled with righteous indignation.
Now that the wicked have been brought to justice...
Naturally, I felt extremely happy...
Chapter 384 Building a Stronghold at White Tiger Mountain
"It's just a pity that the three Kong family members, father and sons, have left."
Wu Song said angrily,
"If we can take down the three culprits, that would truly be a service to the people."
"Alright, Second Brother Wu,"
Lü Fang advised,
"Didn't my brother already say that the lives of those three members of the Kong family would be temporarily recorded in the accounts?"
"When the day comes that the Kong family father and son fall into our hands, we will definitely drag them to Kong Family Village and execute them in public!"
"Hmph, I'll come myself then,"
Wu Song clenched his fist and said loudly.
Lu Fang, standing to the side, replied with a smile.
“Alright, I’ll personally accompany my second brother.”
Those who deserved to be killed in Kongjiazhuang have already been killed.
The land has already been allocated.
Zhao Yuan, along with several leaders and a group of cavalry,
We rested for one night at the Kong Family Manor.
The next day, they prepared to return to Peach Blossom Village with the remaining money and food.
I didn't expect that I had just reached the village entrance when
He was immediately surrounded by a group of villagers.
"Fellow villagers, this is... 273...."
Zhao Yuan and the others were somewhat puzzled.
Then a group of villagers from Kongjiazhuang were seen.
They all knelt down on the ground.
"My lords of Liangshan, please don't leave!"
"If the kings leave, we will suffer again once the Kong family father and son return."
"It's not just the Kong family father and son, but also the government officials who wantonly bully us. We urge you, my lords, to do good deeds to the end and not leave."
......
The villagers' cries and lamentations
The Liangshan heroes exchanged bewildered glances.
"Fellow villagers, although we are leaving, Liangshan will never leave Qingzhou,"
Zhao Yuan reassured him,
"If you ever suffer any injustice in the future, you can go to Peach Blossom Mountain and Erlong Mountain to ask us to help you."
"Your Majesty, Peach Blossom Mountain and Two Dragons Mountain are about two or three hundred li away from here,"
An elderly villager tearfully recounted,
“It will take us six or seven days to make a trip on foot. If something happens, even if we find you kings, it will be too late.”
Seeing the villagers crying so miserably, Wu Song
Then I remembered what they had said yesterday about the bullying they had suffered.
In an instant, a feeling of pity arose within me.
"Brother, didn't you say before that you wanted to establish strongholds in Erlong Mountain and Peach Blossom Mountain?"
Wu Erlang said,
"Isn't there a White Tiger Mountain nearby? In my opinion, Liangshan should just build a stronghold on White Tiger Mountain as well."
Upon hearing Wu Song say this,
One of the quick-witted villagers hurriedly continued,
