Water Margin people

Chapter 640 The reason
"Ma Daochang, Mrs. Gu, there is news!"

Shi Qian came to the room where Ma Ling and the others lived and spoke.

"I just heard that Chai Jin was brought back to the city today!"

Ma Ling nodded and said, he already knew about this.

"That Gao Lian was afraid of killing the Chai officials, so he was imprisoned in the prison city. The prison city of Gaotang Prefecture is called Lin Ren. I knew this person when I was still in Gaotang Prefecture, so I understand some of the right and wrong. Yes, I often help people in the prison city, so I have to start with this person to save Chai Jin!"

Shi Qian looked at Ma Ling and said.

"Is this person really reliable?"

Ma Ling frowned and thought, this is a dangerous move, if Lin Ren is willing to help, then the matter will be accomplished, if not, then everyone will be exposed to danger in the city.

"This person should be reliable, but people's hearts are far away. Let's not expose them all. I will talk to him alone. If it doesn't work, I will go out of the city directly!"

Shi Qian said.

"Be careful!"

Ma Ling nodded. With Shi Qian's skills and the locals of Gaotang Prefecture who are familiar with the terrain, there shouldn't be a problem getting out of the city.

"Brother Shi Qian, be careful!"

Mrs. Gu said repeatedly.

"I'm going."

Shi Qian smiled and went out the window, disappearing into the night.

"Master Ma, brother Shi Qian will be fine!"

Sun Xin looked at Ma Ling and asked.

"It's okay, let's do our own business, isn't the city recruiting civilian husbands? Brother Sun Xin, you guys can try it."

Ma Ling smiled and looked at Sun Xin and said humanely, but unfortunately he is a Taoist priest, the current emperor believes in Taoism, and Taoist priests do not serve corvee or work, so he can't go.

"Okay, let's go tomorrow!"

Sun Xin nodded with a smile.

"I heard that the army's kitchen is also recruiting people. The younger sister can be regarded as a good cook, so you can try it, just to find out the military situation."

Mrs. Gu also said with a smile.

Late at night, prison city.

"Mr. Chai, I know that you have been wronged, but this time it is Gao Lian's idea to take you. He is the prefect of Gaotang Prefecture. I am afraid that you will not be able to escape this calamity."

Lin Ren fed water to Chai Jin who was lying on the haystack. Chai Jin had been hung for too long and was too weak to eat. He had ordered someone to cook porridge.

"I... I... don't blame you!"

Chai Jin finally got his breath back, looked at Lin Ren and said intermittently, Lin Ren was just a jailer, he didn't know that it was not Gao Lian who offended him but the Zhao family's royal family.

"Is my house okay?"

Chai Jin looked at Lin Ren and asked, something happened to him, and he didn't know what happened to Chaijiazhuang.

"This... Officer Chai, your Cangzhou family has been imprisoned. Once you defeat the Liangshan army, you will be transferred from the prison city of Cangzhou to question your crimes together."

Lin Ren sighed and said, Chai Jin's crime is really inexplicable, and there is no evidence of colluding with Liangshan for rebellion, not to mention that everyone knows that Chai's family has iron coupons of Danshu, which can save him from death.

"How about me...how?"

Chai Jin struggled to remember when he heard it, but he was so weak that he couldn't move at all.

"Haha... It's ridiculous that I, Chai Jin, have been friends all my life, and the village has thousands of customers. I thought I was a monk, but in the end, there was no one in the village to save me!"

Chai Jin smiled sadly. An ordinary hero was in distress. When he arrived in Cangzhou, he tried his best to rescue him and made friends with him. But he didn't expect that after his accident, none of the heroes in Manzhuang could save him. Only Sun Lei was not far away. Thousands of miles came from Liangshanbo with troops.

"Official Chai has a good rest. Sun Lei in Liangshan Po is just outside the city. As long as he doesn't retreat for a day, official Chai will be safe."

Seeing Chai Jin's sad face, Lin Ren comforted him.

"Thank you Jie, Chai Jin has another request, please help Jie."

Chai Jin looked at Lin Ren and said.

"Master Chai, please tell me."

Lin Ren looked at Chai Jin and nodded.

"I don't ask Lin Jie to save me, this will only harm Lin Jie, I just ask Lin Jie to send a message to my elder brother Sun Lei, saying that this is a trap, let him go back to Liangshan Po quickly, can there be Chai Jin is extremely grateful to my brother for saving me thousands of miles away!"

Chai Jin looked at Lin Ren and said, he was doomed, and there was no need for Sun Lei to take the risk.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chai, the villain will find a way."

Lin Ren nodded.

"Lin Jie, why take the risk to help me, a dying person?"

Chai Jin looked at Lin Ren gratefully and asked, Lin Ren helped him at great risk, if Gao Lian found out about this, Lin Ren would end up in the same way.

"Official Chai generously donates money, and there are countless people who donate to others. Do you remember that five years ago in Cangzhou, there was a prisoner in Cangzhou who wanted to beat a hundred killing sticks. It was the official Chai who helped to speak and spent ten taels of silver to avoid it? "

Lin Ren looked at Chai Jin and said, five years ago, he committed a crime in Cangzhou and was imprisoned. According to the rules of Cangzhou Prison City, he had to be beaten with a hundred killing sticks. In the winter, after one hundred sticks, he would die for half his life. , Cangzhou is very cold in winter, and most of them can't survive it. Fortunately, they met Chai Jin, who saved him and came back with his life.

"You are……"

Chai Jin helps countless people on weekdays, and he doesn't remember Lin Ren at all, but he has a memory of that incident five years ago. He went to the prison city to help a hero who committed a murder. He happened to see the prisoners wanting to kill Wei Bang. It cost ten taels of silver to save him. At that time, Lin Ren was pressed on the execution bench with disheveled hair, and he left without even seeing Lin Ren's face clearly.

"Officer Chai will stay here with peace of mind, and I will take care of Gao Lian!"

Lin Ren cupped his fists at Chai Jin and said that he wanted to repay his favor a long time ago, but Chai Jin had been locked in the dungeon under the prefect's yamen before. The final say.

Lin Ren walked out of the dungeon and went to the room above the prison city to rest.

"Lin Festival class!"

Lin Ren was about to blow out the lamp for a rest when suddenly a voice came from behind the cabinet.

"Who!"

Lin Ren hurriedly ran to the wall and held down the knife hanging on the wall.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean anything malicious."

Shi Qian walked out with a smile.

Lin Ren looked at Shi Qian with a frown, his thin and small appearance made him less vigilant, and Shi Qian's appearance like this really didn't pose any threat.

"Shiqian in Xialiang Mountain Park!"

Shi Qian smiled and cupped his fists.

"Shi Qian! The drum is full of fleas, Shi Qian! Have you gone to Liangshan?"

Lin Ren immediately thought of Shi Qian, who used to be a thief in Gaotang Prefecture.

"Lin Jie, I'm here for Chai Daguan this time, I don't know if Lin Jie is willing to make it easier."

Shi Qian looked at Lin Ren and smiled.

"Since you are a hero in Liangshan, follow me!"

Lin Ren nodded and led Shi Qian into the prison city.

"Official Chai!"

Shi Qian looked at the weak Chai Jin and called out.

"Brother Shi Qian? You...you are here? Let brother Sun Lei go, this is Gao Lian's trap."

Chai Jin looked at Shi Qian and said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chai. My brother knew this was a trap. Since my brother is here, he will definitely rescue Mr. Chai."

Shi Qian said with a smile.

"Officer Chai is weak now, I'm afraid it's not easy to leave the city!"

Lin Ren said, with Chai Jin's current physical condition, it is impossible to leave the city. The guards in the city are too strict, and going out rashly will only harm Chai Jin.

"I know this, Mr. Chai, please wait for a while, I will report to my brother, Lin Jie, please take care of Mr. Chai."

Shi Qian looked at Lin Ren and clasped his fists.

"rest assured!"

Lin Ren nodded.
