Yi Song

Chapter 85 Erlang is in prison, both happy and sad

When the news reached Taishifang, Cai Jing, Cai Sui (tao), and Cai Tiao (tiao), father and son, were waiting for the news in the study.

"What? Liu Erlang went to Kaifeng Mansion to surrender?"

After hearing the news reported by Cai Wanquan, Cai Ji screamed in surprise.

"He, what does he want to do?"

Cai Sui frowned tightly and asked, "Quan Weng, what's the situation?"

"Silang, at three o'clock in the afternoon, after Liu Erlang had a good meal at the nearby Lijiajiao shop, he came to Kaifeng government office and beat the drum to surrender. After hearing the news, hundreds of officials and citizens came to watch. The man on duty was Zuo Erlang. Judge Li Boji."

Li Boji Li Gang! He was a family friend of Zhang Zhengdao and knew Liu Erlang.

Cai Sui remained silent and continued to listen.

"Judge Li asked him why he surrendered? Liu Erlang replied that he had rescued two brothers outside Fengqiu Prison City and knew that the national law was ruthless, so he surrendered himself. It happened that the submission from Fengqiu County was also delivered, so Judge Li asked Liu Erlang He will be detained in the Sixi Prison of Kaifeng Prefecture."

"To turn himself in alone and with such a high profile is to publicly tell both inside and outside Kaifeng that he did the case alone and had no accomplices. If we dare to get involved, many people will have something to say." Cai Sui analyzed.

"Ah Quan, go down." Cai Jing said.

"Yes, sir."

"What are you doing, Liu Erlang? Are you crazy? Why did he surrender? Didn't he throw himself into a trap? What exactly do you want to do?" Cai Chi stood up and kept spinning in the open space like a donkey pulling a mill.

"Fifth brother, please be patient!" Cai Jing scolded softly.

After Cai Ji sat down uneasily, he continued.

"Fourth brother, fifth brother, tell me, what does Liu Erlang mean?"

"Liu Erlang is quite a character! If I had a friend like him, I would be so lucky!" Cai Sui said, high-fiving.

Cai Ji glared at him, "What does fourth brother mean by this?"

"Perhaps this is the only way to save Wang Yan and Chen Guang, and to prevent Zhang Zeduan, Wang Xun, Di Wanren, Yang Xiaojie and others from being implicated. But it is tantamount to feeding a tiger with my own body. If it were me, I’m afraid it’s difficult to make this decision.”

Cai Jing was sitting at the top, the old god was there, his presence was very weak, and he spoke at this time.

"I once asked Third Brother, Liu Erlang dares to risk his life, does he dare?"

Cai Suan nodded thoughtfully.

Cai Wei said anxiously: "You are living well, why risk your life? He has a cheap life, can he compare with ours?"

Cai Jing was a little dissatisfied, "Fifth brother, where did your composure go when you competed with Marquis Wu? Why did you become so confused when Liu Erlang was involved!"

After a pause, Cai Jing continued: "Even if Liu Erlang has the same status as you, he dares to risk his life! He knows that risking his life is not a gamble! The key lies in the word "fight", which lies in the determination and courage to risk his life and fight to the death. !”

Cai Ji was speechless.

Cai Sui said: "Dad is right, Liu Erlang is as cunning as a fox and full of tricks, but once he sees clearly, he will fight hard without hesitation. I admire this perseverance and courage very much."

Cai Wei glanced at him and felt that these words were very harsh. He couldn't help but retort: ​​"Is Liu Erlang stupid? He threw himself into a trap. Aren't you afraid that we will plot against him in the Western Prison?"

Cai Sui glanced at him and asked, "Fifth brother doesn't want to know Fengcheng's secret anymore?"

Cai Chi's breath became much thicker, and his voice became sharp and urgent, "I asked people to torture me severely, what can I ask for under three trees?"

"Although Liu Erlang robbed the prisoner, he surrendered. Don't forget that behind him, there is Lingguang Yuan, and recently Houde Palace. With these two coming forward, saving lives is not a problem. This case will be tried for three people Month, when the deadline is up, a thousand-mile drifter hastily settles the matter.

Besides, would Fifth Brother do it himself to torture Liu Erlang? "

Cai Ji's eyes widened, "What do you mean, Fourth Brother?"

"You can't finish the wine in the bowl, and you can't kill all the enemies. There are three to four thousand of Liu Erlang's Hwarang brothers inside and outside Kaifeng City. You don't dare to kill Liu Erlang in the five yamen, but those who dare to torture Liu Erlang Aren't you afraid that the Hwarangs will kill your whole family if you are in jail?
  After entering the Western Prison, Liu Erlang put himself on the table in front of everyone. Officials, the East Palace, the Harem, Zheng Juzhong, Bai Shizhong, and Wang Fu would all ask, why does the Cai family embarrass Liu Erlang everywhere?
  Fifth brother, if the things you do are not weighed on a scale, they will weigh only two or two. If it really goes on the scale, the entire Taishifang won't be enough. Now Liu Erlang is not nervous anymore and stays in the Western Prison with peace of mind. On the contrary, we are anxious and trying every possible means to get this chapter done properly and thoroughly without leaving any room for excuses. "

Cai Chi was silent.

Cai Jing patted the armrest gently and said softly: "So as my father said, Liu Erlang's risking his life is gambling, not gambling. Gambling is all about God's will, not human affairs. Gambling is seven points for personnel and three points for human affairs. God willing."

"Then what should we do? Are we going to watch Liu Erlang swaggering out of the Kaifeng Mansion prison?" Cai Wei said angrily.

"Fourth brother, what do you think we should do?" Cai Jing asked calmly.

"We can see clearly, but in this world, there are always people who can only see the road under the tip of their nose and cannot see the road in the distance."

"Well, you go ahead and do it."

"Dad, fifth brother, please lend me Quanwen."

"What?" Cai Jing agreed: "Okay, I will tell Ah Quan."

Cai Chi stood up and left angrily.

Cai Jing looked at his back, his wrinkled face looked even more sad.

In the backyard of Lingguang Yuan, Xu Xiniang cried for a while, while Magu stood beside her, kindly trying to persuade her.

Murong Shisan stood in the middle of the courtyard, looking at the sunset that burned half of the sky in the west, and said nothing for a long time.

"Housemaster, can you save Erlang?" Xu Xiniang raised her tear-stained face and begged.

"Save, how to save? With the identity of the hospital master, how to save?" Magu scolded.

Xu Xiniang opened her big eyes blurred by tears. She didn't understand why it was difficult to save her as the hospital master.

Murong Shisan suddenly sneered, "This Liu Erlang likes to take risks in everything. He is so bold. I will wait for now."

Xu Xiniang was anxious, "Master, you don't care about Erlang?"

Murong Shisan glanced at her, "Who said I don't care?"

"Then you still said you have to wait? Erlang is in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion."

"So what? Hwarangs are everywhere inside and outside Kaifeng City. They are everywhere in the Military Patrol Court, the Left and Right Wing Offices, the Fusi West Prison and the Military Patrol Court Prison. Liu Erlang lives in the Fusi West Prison, which is no better than outside. Difference."

"But, Master, it's not a problem for Erlang in prison."

"Strike later to control others. Strike first to control others. There must be a back-up move over there. Erlang surrenders and defeats their original back-up move. They will definitely change their tactics. Let's wait and see. When they use their special move, I will use another move. .”

Xu Xiniang looked up and found that Murong Shisan's face was reflected red by the sunset.

Magu looked at Murong Shisan with a complicated expression, her eyes half happy and half worried.

Zhao Wuniang, the lord of Houde Palace, only learned the news when she returned to Houde Palace in the evening.

"Xianglao, what are Erlang doing?" Zhao Wuniang asked with an anxious look on her face.

Liu Baoxiang sighed, "This is the only way he can think of to get the best of both worlds."

"Xiang Lao, we must save him. I heard people say that the prison in Kaifeng Mansion is not a place for people."

"Fifth sister, don't worry. Erlang is in the Kaifeng Mansion Prison and is fine for the time being. But if the chess game in Cai Mansion changes, Liu Erlang must be killed with one move. Otherwise, letting Erlang free his hands will be a disaster. Wu Sister, let me get some information first."

"Please ask Mr. Xiang. I'll go to the palace first before it gets dark and pay my respects to dad."

Liu Baoxiang smiled and nodded.

Xue Qi and several guards were waiting at the right door of Houde Palace and started talking softly.

"Liu Erlang has entered Kaifeng Mansion Prison."

"Yeah, he said he was robbing prisoners."

"This is a serious crime! You are so stupid. You just ran away after saving someone. Why did you throw yourself into a trap?"

"Everyone said that Liu Erlang was benevolent and did not want to involve his friends and brothers."

"What a fool!" Xue Qi said disdainfully, "He is just a fool. There are so many people in the five offices of Taiwei Gao, Prime Minister Yang, and Taishi Cai waiting to kill him. Now he has thrown himself into a trap and entered In the prison, if the official name is spoken twice, he is the meat on the chopping block!"

"Qilang is right, Liu Erlang will definitely not be able to get out this time."

"He's dead, Liu Erlang is dead this time! Why did he die? He's so stupid!"

Xue Qi's words caused everyone to chuckle.

At this time, Zhao Wuniang's bullock cart came out, and Xue Qi and others quickly divided into teams, exploring the road in front, guarding on the left and right, and standing in the back, each performing their duties.

Xue Qi took the initiative to stay behind, walked to a relatively remote place, reached out to touch the package in his arms, and sneered a few times.

Help you worship your ancestors and find your relatives?

Sacrifice your dead soul and search for your bones!

Damn Liu Erlang!

While no one was paying attention, Xue Qi threw the bag into the garbage pile on the street, followed the team, and disappeared into the twilight street.
