"Master Gongsun, Kongming and Kongliang suddenly went to Erlong Mountain,"
Liu Tang asked, puzzled.
"What are they doing here?"
"I've inquired about it,"
General Li Zhong, the tiger hunter, said,
"Those wagons were mostly loaded with grain,"
"There is still less than a thousand strings of cash left."
"It doesn't look like he was driven away by Song Yasi."
"Those two good-for-nothing brothers are Song Jiang's disciples,"
Zhu Tong said coldly,
How could he possibly drive them away?
"If you didn't just drive them away, where did Kongming and Kong Liang go?"
Liu Tang asked in confusion,
"It's freezing cold now, you shouldn't be coming down the mountain at this time,"
"What exactly did they go to do?"
"Didn't you say you were going to Erlong Mountain?"
Gongsun Sheng flicked the dust off his hands.
"I think that Clerk Song is probably preparing an escape route for himself."
"A way out?"
Li Zhong asked in surprise,
"Master, do you mean to say,"
"Would Chief Zhao of Liangshan really drive Clerk Song and his men down the mountain?"
"The truth of what Chao Tianwang said is still unknown,"
Gongsun Sheng said slowly,
"But that clerk Song bullied Magistrate Hua's sister in every way,"
"First, they forced her to marry Kongming and Kongliang,"
"Then they tried to force her to become Prefect Murong's concubine,"
"That girl from Magistrate Hua's village is from Liangshan,"
"How could Chief Zhao not stand up for him!"
"That's true,"
Li Zhong nodded.
Then, unable to resist asking,
"By the way, Taoist priest,"
"Could it really be that Chief Clerk Song did what Chao Tianwang did?"
"No, that's impossible,"
Before Gongsun Sheng could speak,
Liu Tang spoke first.
"King Chao and Clerk Song have such a good relationship,"
"Back then, it was also King Chao who saved Song's life,"
Even if it was for the sake of being granted amnesty,
"That Clerk Song can't really be worse than a pig or a dog,"
"You'd even betray your savior?"
"If it were before, I wouldn't have believed it either, but..."
Gongsun Sheng sighed.
"But did you see his attitude towards Magistrate Hua?"
"Zhizhai Nahua has known him for many years,"
"He has always been loyal."
"Back then, she even lost her position as magistrate because of him,"
"He almost lost his life."
"But it was precisely because Magistrate Hua was unwilling to give his sister to Murong Yanda as a concubine,"
"Then Song Jiang devised all sorts of schemes,"
"We want to kill those two siblings!"
"If you ask me,"
"That incident involving Chao Tianwang might really have been done by Song Jiang."
"On the battlefield that day, only Lei Heng stayed by the Heavenly King's side the entire time,"
Zhu Tong pondered for a moment,
Lei Heng probably knows the real story behind what happened that day.
"I'm going to find him right now and get to the bottom of this."
Liu Tang gritted his teeth and said,
"No matter what,"
"We cannot let King Chao die so unjustly!"
After saying that, Liu Tang got up to go find someone.
Li Zhong and Zhu Tong quickly stopped him.
"If Song Jiang really was involved in Chao Tianwang's death,"
Li Zhong said,
"The person who did that dirty trick might just be Lei Heng."
"If you go to him now and ask him, how can you possibly get any results?"
"Brother Li Zhong is right,"
Zhu Tong also said,
"Lei Heng is extremely loyal to Song Jiang,"
"Plus, if this gets leaked,"
"Lei Heng is likely doomed to die without a proper burial."
"Why would he be willing to tell the truth?"
The Bearded Gentleman and the Winged Tiger once served together in Yuncheng.
The original relationship was naturally not bad.
But who could blame Lei Heng for trying to curry favor with Song Jiang?
It was a scheme specifically designed to harm Zhu Tong.
This caused him to lose his position as a chief in no time.
I had no choice but to wander and become an outlaw in this Qingfeng Mountain.
To Lei Heng,
Zhu Tong was naturally extremely disgusted.
"Brother Liu Tang, don't be anxious,"
Gongsun Sheng tapped his palm with the handle of the floating duster.
"The cause of Chao Tianwang's death is of great importance,"
"We must investigate this thoroughly."
"But this matter cannot be rushed."
"The magistrate of Nahua Village just mentioned this matter yesterday,"
"Now is precisely the time for Song Jiang and his men to be on high alert,"
"If we investigate these next two days, I'm afraid we won't find anything."
"Why not wait a couple of days?"
"Wait until they lower their guard,"
"Then we'll figure out a way to launch a surprise attack,"
"Perhaps we can find out the truth in one go,"
"The truth behind the Heavenly King's murder..."
Chapter 1305 Departure from Qingfeng Mountain
After discussing and reaching a consensus, Gongsun Sheng and the others...
They unanimously decided to wait a couple of days.
Go find Lei Heng again.
Inquire about the truth behind Chao Gai's death.
And on the other side,
Hua Rong and his sister
Naturally, they also noticed the movements of the brothers Kongming and Kongliang.
"Brother, the Kong brothers have gone to Erlong Mountain,"
Hua Xiaomei sneered.
"It seems that Song Jiang also knows that he won't be able to stay on Qingfeng Mountain for long,"
"We're starting to prepare our escape route."
"......Um,"
Hua Rong nodded silently.
Didn't say much.
Since breaking with Song Jiang,
Hua Rong became quiet and reserved.
Hua Xiaomei responded to this.
Naturally, he was extremely worried.
But there was nothing they could do.
"I wonder when Brother Zhao will be back,"
Hua Xiaomei said helplessly.
"Without him at Liangshan,"
"Many things can be accomplished with just the help of three strategists,"
"It's simply impossible to make a decision."
