Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 970 Song Jiang: Don't blame me for acting first and reporting later! [Update 2]

The little black fat man was wearing an official robe neatly, with his hands behind his back and his belly bulging as if he was five months pregnant.

Looking at Master Zhong with a fake smile, the little black fat man asked:
"Marshal, are you surprised to see me?"

"hiss--"

Zong Shidao's face changed drastically.

He had been tying up the little black fat boy and putting him in a box, so how did he get rescued by Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan?

The little black fat man was Song Jiang, the Grand Marshal of the Palace Marshal's Office. He was rescued thanks to Liu Gao.

If it weren't for the desire to get Zhong Shidao, Liu Gao would have put Song Jiang and Qin Hui in a pig cage at that time.

However, Zhong Shidao was loyal to the Zhao family, so Liu Gao had to ask Song Jiang and Qin Hui to brainwash Zhong Shidao.

Firstly, Zhong Shidao was a famous general; secondly, all the old members of the Zhong family were famous generals; and thirdly, he represented the power of the Western Army.

If Liu Gao could get Zhong Shidao who was convinced by him, it would be much easier for him to take over the Western Army.

The Western Army had about 200,000 troops and was the last powerful and battle-hardened army in the Northern Song Dynasty.

If Zhong Shidao is not recruited, Liu Gao will inevitably have to fight again if he wants to take down the Western Army in the future.

But for Liu Gao today, it is unnecessary, as they are all his people.

So Liu Gao left Song Jiang and Qin Hui behind to make it easier for Zhong Shidao to accept it and also to lay a trap for Zhong Shidao.

Tonight, thunder exploded.

Song Jiang is a ruthless man.

Relying on his eloquent tongue, he managed to push the pants out of his mouth.

Since he had practiced martial arts since he was young, his body was very flexible. He curled up and used his teeth to bite off the rope on his body.

Things became much easier after the rope broke. Song Jiang broke open the locked box and rushed out of the room.

Coincidentally, Miao Fu happened to pass by, was surprised to see Song Jiang, and asked Song Jiang where he had been for the past two days.

Song Jiang then told the story of how Zhong Shidao and Liu Gao had teamed up to plot against him.

Miao Fu keenly realized that this was a good opportunity for improvement, but he could not achieve anything on his own.

So Miao Fu made an appointment with his good friend Liu Zhengyan, and the two of them protected Song Jiang and went to settle the score with Zhong Shidao.

Zhong Shidao's heart sank. Just as he was about to say something, Song Jiang waved his hand:
"Tie up the traitor!"

"Yes!"

Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan rushed forward and held down Zhong Shidao.

Zhong Shidao resisted instinctively, knocked Miao Fu over and kicked Liu Zhengyan down.

When Zhong Shidao rushed towards Song Jiang, Song Jiang held the imperial edict in one hand and the imperial sword in the other:
"You bold traitor, look what this is!"

Zhong Shidao was surprised to see another imperial edict, and the imperial sword also made him doubtful.

At this time, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan's personal soldiers rushed in, drew their swords and surrounded Zhong Shidao.

"Your Majesty has long guessed that you might rebel, so he specially gave me this imperial edict and the Shangfang sword!"

Song Jiang sneered, "His Majesty said that if I find you have any intention of disloyalty, I will kill you first and report to you later!"

"what?"

Zong Shidao couldn't believe his ears:

"I am loyal to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty..."

"Do not believe?"

Song Jiang opened the imperial edict and showed it to Master Zhong, saying:

"Look for yourself. You can read, right?"

Zong Shidao saw the words on the imperial edict clearly, and it turned out that Song Gaozong authorized Song Jiang to execute him first and report later...

"This is impossible!"

Master Zhong felt as if struck by lightning:
"Our family has been loyal and dedicated to protecting our country and its people for generations, how can Your Majesty kill me?
"What crime have I committed?" Taking advantage of Zhong Shidao's mental breakdown, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan quickly tied up Zhong Shidao.

Zong Shidao's heart was broken at this moment!
From his grandfather Zhong Shiheng, his uncle Zhong Yan to him and his brother Zhong Shizhong, they have all been guarding the northwestern frontier!

It is no exaggeration to say that the Zhong family made great contributions to the Song Dynasty, but what they got in return was being executed without authorization!

What does this mean?
This shows that Song Gaozong had already prepared himself mentally to kill him!

This shows that Song Gaozong did not trust him at all and did not regard him as an indispensable person at all!

"No reason!"

Song Jiang pulled out a pair of shorts and threw them at Zhong Shidao's face. This was the pair of shorts that had been used to block his mouth.
"Gag his mouth!"

Liu Zhengyan took the shorts and stuffed them directly into Zhong Shidao's mouth, and Zhong Shidao became speechless.

Zhong Shidao glared at Song Jiang fiercely with his eyes, as if he was about to spit fire!

"Humph! Why are you staring so wide-eyed?"

Song Jiang had been hiding in the box for so many days and was already full of hatred towards Zhong Shidao.

Drawing out the Imperial Sword, Song Jiang pointed the tip of the sword at Master Zhong and said:

“Master Zhong said, His Majesty has long seen that you are disobedient!
"You really dare to disobey the emperor's will, then don't blame me for acting first and asking for your permission later!"

At this moment, Zhong Shidao's heart was filled with despair and anger, but he was no longer able to struggle.

Just when Song Jiang was about to kill Zhong Shidao with his sword, suddenly a stone flew towards him as fast as lightning!

"Snapped!"

The stone hit Song Jiang's wrist. Song Jiang screamed and the imperial sword fell to the ground!
Liu Gao, shirtless and shoeless, rushed in and became furious when he saw Zhong Shidao tied up:
"Let go of Brother Zhong!"

"He is also an accomplice of the traitors!"

Song Jiang held his wrist and stepped back, shouting:
"catch him!"

Catch him? Me?
Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others were all stunned:

Who today doesn’t know that Liu Taibao is brave enough to fight against ten thousand men?
Oh yes, General Song doesn’t know!
"call--"

A big man with bare chest and no shoes rushed out from behind Liu Gao, like a tiger coming down the mountain, unstoppable!

With just three punches and two kicks, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others were knocked to the ground!
Liu Gao went up and pulled out the pants from Zhong Shidao's mouth:

"Brother Zhong, you are frightened..."

Since Dai Zong had taken Shi Qian over, Liu Gao asked Shi Qian to serve as a human monitor beside Zhong Shidao.

Liu Gao installed surveillance cameras around Zhong Shidao not to harm him, but to protect him.

Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan brought Song Jiang to settle accounts with Zhong Shidao. Shi Qian found out and went to inform Liu Gao first.

That's why Liu Gao was able to arrive in time and save Zhong Shidao.

"Treacherous minister!"

Master Zhong spat and cursed angrily:
"This treacherous minister came to kill me at the order of the tyrant emperor!
"My family has been loyal to my country for generations, and I have served the country on the frontier. I don't know whose slander this tyrant believed, but he wants to kill me!"

Zong Shidao's heart was truly broken by Emperor Gaozong of Song!

Liu Gao picked up the imperial sword and cut the ropes that bound him:
"Brother Zhong, how should we deal with them?"

When Song Jiang saw that the situation was not right, he tried to run away skillfully, but was tripped by a big black rat.

"Where to run!"

The big black rat hugged him tightly and pinned him to the ground. Song Jiang instinctively used his trump card:

"It's a pity that Song Jiang, the timely rain of Shandong, died here..."

Song Jiang's trick has always worked. No matter how unruly a hero is, he will bow down after hearing his words.

But now it doesn't work anymore, "Flea on the Drum" Shi Qian sneered:
“I’ve only heard of Xiao Xuande in Shandong!
"What kind of bird is Timely Rain?"
