Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 126 Song Jiang: The one with the surname Cai is your mother's maid! [4 more monthly tickets requested]

What do you want to do?
No one noticed that Song Jiang's big face had become so black that it looked like it had been stained with ink.

Song Jiang had already had a bad premonition.

As expected, the spearhead is now pointing to another of his confidants——

Zheng Tianshou!
Song Jiang never liked the "Iron-Faced" Pei Xuan.

It’s nothing, it’s just too tough!

Pei Xuan once served as the clerk of the Six Cases Department of Jingzhao Prefecture.

He is loyal, honest and intelligent, and he will never compromise, so he is known as the "Iron Face".

He was retaliated against by corrupt officials and was exiled to Shamen Island.

When passing by "Yinmachuan", he was rescued by "Fire-eyed Suanni" Deng Fei and "Jade Banner" Meng Kang, and was elected as the leader of the village.

Later, "Yinmachuan" was incorporated into "Liangshanpo", and Pei Xuan went to Liangshan.

Song Jiang didn't need such an upright person, especially after being ruthlessly criticized by Pei Xuan in person...

It would have been fine if he had criticized Zheng Tianshou in person a few times, but this time Pei Xuan was unyielding and wanted Zheng Tianshou dead!

Song Jiang stared at Pei Xuan, hoping that Pei Xuan would understand and let Zheng Tianshou go.

However, what he didn't expect was that his actions actually aroused Pei Xuan's rebellious psychology!

Pei Xuan seemed to have returned to the time when he was the Six Cases Censor, and the corrupt prefect forced him to go along with the corrupt officials...

If he was someone who could go along with his superiors, how could he be exiled to Shamen Island?

What is Shamen Island?
Hell on earth!

During the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, Wang Juyuan, the transport commissioner of Jingdong Road, wrote a letter to the emperor, saying that 300 prisoners were exiled to Shamen Island every year, which would amount to 3,000 prisoners in ten years, but there were only 180 people alive on the island at that time.

In the original novel, Lu Junyi was exiled to Shamen Island, and Li Gu paid Dong Chao and Xue Ba to kill him on the way.

Before Xue Ba was about to kill Lu Junyi, he said:

"Even if he goes to Shamen Island, he'll die anyway. It's better to get rid of him as soon as possible..."

Once you get on Shamen Island, there is no chance of survival. How could Pei Xuan, as the censor of the Six Cases, not know this?

Even so, Pei Xuan never gave in.

So Pei Xuan produced the evidence without hesitation—

A blood-stained machete!

"Look, what is this?"

Pei Xuan put the blood-stained machete to Sun Erniang's throat, measured it, and then showed it to everyone.

"this--"

Zhang Qing suddenly recognized:

"Could this machete be mine? It was originally leaning against the corner..."

"Not bad!"

Pei Xuan said righteously:
"I found this broadsword from the dry well in Zheng Tianshou's yard!
"The situation was urgent, and Zheng Tianshou had no time to deal with the murder weapon, so he had no choice but to throw the machete into the dry well!
"But the law is vast and nothing can escape it. I suspected something was wrong with Zheng Tianshou, so I searched his house!

"Sure enough, I found this machete in the dry well!

"Criminal Zheng Tianshou, you avenged your brother Wang Ying by murdering Sun Erniang, the victim of Wang Ying's rape. The evidence is irrefutable and the case is as solid as a rock!

"What else do you have to say?"

Good guy!
When Song Jiang saw Pei Xuan's passionate and spitting expression, he said:
You are going to take the sword of the imperial court and kill the officials of Liangshanpo!
……

The blue sky is coming!

Zhang Qing was so moved that tears streamed down his face and he knelt down before Pei Xuan:
"Thank you, Brother Pei Xuan, for your impartiality and fairness!

"If this thief can be severely punished, Er Niang will be able to die with peace of mind!"

Pei Xuan was extremely excited at this moment, and he only regretted that he had no power to make a decision. He turned to Song Jiang and Cai Fu:
"The truth of this case has been revealed. I ask the two village chiefs to administer justice!"

“It’s unfair—”

Zheng Tianshou finally felt scared now, tears streaming down his face:

"I didn't kill Sun Erniang!
“I don’t know why that machete ended up in my dry well!

"Someone must have framed me!"

Pei Xuan snorted coldly: "Who framed you?
"Tonight in Zhongyi Hall, you dared to attack Zhang Qing with a heavy punch!

"I saw it with my own eyes at that time. Yan Shun was strangling Zhang Qing's neck, and you punched Zhang Qing in the chest several times in succession!" You had already made up your mind to kill, but were stopped by Wu Erlang!

"I thought you would stop at nothing, but I didn't expect that after leaving Zhongyi Hall, you would actually kill Sun Erniang overnight!

"Zheng Tianshou, we have witnesses and evidence, and you still want to deny it?"

Zheng Tianshou was speechless after what Pei Xuan said, and even doubted whether he had really killed Sun Erniang...

All the clues, all the evidence, all pointed to him.

He wanted to defend himself but didn't know how to do so.

"Second mother——"

Zhang Qing threw himself on Sun Erniang, crying out to the sky:
"Your death was so unjust!
"I was the one who killed Wang Ying, and he wanted to take revenge on me!
"If I had known this earlier, I would have let him beat me to death!
"Woooooh——

"Second Mother, wait for me, I'll be down to accompany you!"

Zhang Qing suddenly turned around, rushed in front of Wu Song, pulled out Wu Song's sword and was about to cut his throat!
"stop!"

Wu Song was quick-witted and quickly grabbed Zhang Qing's wrist, snatched the sword from him, and slapped him in the face:
"Calm down!

"Even if someone wants to accompany Er Niang, it shouldn't be you!"

"Shh-"

The Liangshan heroes all stared at Zheng Tianshou at the same time, and Zheng Tianshou's face was disheveled in the wind!
Knowing he might die, Zheng Tianshou rushed to Song Jiang, hugged Song Jiang's thighs and cried:
"Brother, save me!
"I really didn't kill Sun Erniang!
"Brother, do you still remember that I saved you back in Qingfeng Mountain..."

Song Jiang was shocked and angry.

He never expected that Pei Xuan would make an impartial judgment even though he knew that Zheng Tianshou was his confidant!
Pei Xuan was a marginal figure in Liangshanpo. How could he dare to judge his confidants impartially? Whose power did he rely on?

Cai Fu looked at Wu Song, and Wu Song bowed to Song Jiang:

"Village leader, the truth has been revealed!

"Please, village chief, seek justice!"

Lu Zhishen bowed his head and said, "Please, Chief, seek justice!"

The eldest and second in command of Erlongshan both spoke, and Yang Zhi also bowed his head:

"Please, village chief, seek justice!"

Shi Jin: "Please..."

Guan Sheng: "Please..."

Lu Junyi: "Please..."

Perhaps justice is in the hearts of the people. After Cai Fu's men left, Zhu Tong actually bowed his head and said:
"Please, village chief, seek justice!"

Li Yun: "Please..."

Xu Ning: "Please..."

It’s numb! It’s numb!

Song Jiang felt very disappointed!
You know, he has always regarded Zhu Tong as his close brother...

Now even Zhu Tong is on Cai Fu's side!

After Xu Ning came to Liangshan, I treated him well...

traitor!

They are all traitors!
Song Jiang was so angry that his whole body was trembling!
But so many heroes are waiting for his judgment, what can he do?
Cai Fu saw that no one would ask for his services, so he finished the job himself and bowed to Song Jiang:

"Please, village chief, seek justice!"

The one with the surname Cai is your mother’s maid!

Song Jiang clenched his hands so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, but he finally waved his hands with tears in his eyes.

That's it!

Cai Fu asked Pei Xuan righteously:

"Brother Pei Xuan, how should the case of Zheng Tianshou killing Sun Erniang be judged?"

Having once again defeated power and upheld justice, Pei Xuan was so excited that he could hardly remain serious:
"Kill a man and pay his life; pay your debts!
"Zheng Tianshou's murder of Sun Erniang was to clarify the law and serve as a warning to others—

"Behead!"
