Water Margin Survival

Hearing this, Chai Jin didn't open his eyes, but shook his body slightly, and said slowly: "What crime did Gao Lian kill me for?"

"If you want to commit a crime, why is there no excuse? If you offend him, it is a crime!" In this dark prison, Lin Jie has seen countless crimes, and in just a few dozen words, he can describe the darkness of human nature.

Chai Jin opened his eyes fiercely, and gritted his teeth: "He dares to tarnish the face of the royal family even if he is a mere magistrate? Don't be afraid that the current officials will destroy his family and punish him!"

"He doesn't even admit that you are a descendant of the Chai family, so what's the use of the officials talking about it?" Lin Ren sighed, and then said: "When it comes to exterminating the family, the officials may have been dead bones in the tomb at that time, but he And Gao Qiu, the official's confidant, is the judge, will the official seek justice for the senior official? The official family really didn't hear anything about what you did in Cangzhou?"

"The descendants of the Chai family shall not be given additional punishment if they are found guilty, and if they commit treason, they shall be punished in prison. They shall not be slaughtered, and they shall not even have their relatives!" Chai Jin roared angrily, blurting out his spittle, clinging to his cheeks in a mess Above his beard, he is like a desperate lion king, showing the last trace of his dignity to the world.

"My family enshrines the Iron Voucher of the Alchemy Book bestowed by the Emperor Taizu!"

"Where is Taizu today? Who is the descendant of today's official family?"

It happened a hundred years earlier, the usurper who might still feel guilty back then, couldn't even keep the throne of his direct descendants, so why talk about the original oath, what about the successor Chai?

At this time, Lin Ren was still neither angry nor frightened, like a calm wise man, bit by bit pushing aside the last fantasy in Chai Jin's mind.

Chai Jin was defeated, like a defeated rooster, hanging his head that had never been lowered.

It was only at the last moment of this desperate situation that he suddenly realized that the reason why he was able to live like a pet now was that he relied on the descendants of the Zhao family whom he had always cast aside.However, this fact is undoubtedly the greatest sorrow in life for the proud little Xuanfeng.

"Bring water, my grandson wants to take a bath and change clothes!" At the last moment of life.This young man who had grown up in rich clothes and fine food decided to choose a decent death.He was afraid and flustered in his heart, but he couldn't afford to lose that person, let alone the dignity that Chai's descendants had long been unable to regain.

Lin Ren sighed, opened the cell door, stepped forward and carried the weak Chai Jin on his back.Said: "Behind this prison, there is a well. I will send the high officials there!"

"Lin Ren, although my life will end in your hands, I don't hate you! Since I entered this prison, I have been taken care of by you. It is also the last moment of my life that you told me to live better than anyone else. I understand!"

Chai Jin had been beaten to pieces by Gao Lian earlier, and now he was unable to move, he just hung his head on Lin Ren's shoulder, talking to this special friend he made at the last moment of his life.

Lin Ren didn't answer, but carried Chai Jin to the back cell alone, and Chai Jin borrowed the moonlight.Seeing that there was indeed a well, he struggled to get down. Seeing this, Lin Ren carried Chai Jin to the side of the well and put it down slowly.Chai Jin looked at the well, but there was no bucket, only a big bamboo basket, and he immediately understood Lin Ren's intention.Laughed uncontrollably:

"The poor Chai family lost their country and died at the bottom of the well. Wonderful! It will also give future generations an extra piece of talk after dinner. Let's see what will happen to the Zhao official family of the Great Song Dynasty in the future! My brother Wang Lun will definitely Don't disappoint me!"

Chai Jin laughed a lot. Seeing that Lin Ren didn't respond, he looked at him and said, "Brother Lin, are you going to let the living Chai go in or the dead Chai going in?"

"Under this dry well. I was lucky enough to save a few undeserving lives. As for the high officials, whether they can survive these few days is up to fate!" Lin Ren stepped forward to help Chai Jin.Invite him into the basket, and Chai Jin saw the bulging inside, and heard that Lin Ren seemed to have something in his words, so he asked, "Brother Lin, what do you mean?"

"Wang Lun in white at Liangshan Po personally leads the army. At this time, the [-] troops have already entered the camp [-] miles outside the city. I don't know if the official's injury can last until the day he breaks the city!" Lin Ren's tone was still indifferent. Yes, it doesn't seem to be showing favor to a person, but it seems to be talking about something that has nothing to do with him.

As soon as Chai Jin heard Wang Lun's name, his original intention of begging for death suddenly collapsed, and he laughed wildly: "I, Chai Jin, made friends with the world's heroes, just to hold my breath with that surnamed Zhao. I didn't expect much People remember me well, and I have never thought about who to rely on! Who would have thought that today, the ancestors of the Chai clan manifested their spirits, and finally called such a person, and if they risked their lives, they would definitely not be able to see me die here unjustly!"

Chai Jin was agitated for a while, and immediately struggled into the bamboo basket by himself, and said to Lin Ren: "Brother Lin, you must repay your kindness!" Immediately, he tore off his coat with great difficulty, and wrote two lines on it with blood on his body Lin Ren said: "Whether Chai Jin is dead or alive, if you hand over this bloody coat to my brother Wang Lun, it will surely keep you rich and honored for the rest of your life!"

But Lin Ren didn't pick up Chai Jin's bloody clothes, and shook his head, "I'm just doing what I should do, saving people who shouldn't die. ? If there is no difference, why don’t I go to this muddy water earlier? The officials take care of themselves, don’t be distracted by me, at this time every night, I will send you clean water and meals! Please be patient!”

After Lin Ren finished speaking, he carefully put the bamboo basket into the well, and shook it gently. Chai Jin sat in the basket, feeling himself slowly sinking into the endless darkness. At this time, the pain on his body and the claustrophobic environment made him It was the first time that I felt that death was so close. In this slow process, all the past appeared in my heart like a reflection, and Chai Jin's uneasy heart gradually became as calm as still water.

At this time, Lin Ren saw that the rope had been placed on his head, and was about to ask Chai Jin to move his body out first, but a voice came from the bottom of the dry well, saying: "Fate is tricking people, just call me Chai Jin today, and I just know what it means to sit in a well and watch the sky!" Brother Lin , put away the basket and go, I will take a good look at the sky here!"

……

Among the government offices of Gaotang Prefecture.

Gao Lian walked back and forth indignantly, thinking that this time he really sent himself to a desperate situation just to flatter the officials.It's all to blame for Chai Jin, who is obviously a legacy of the previous dynasty, but he doesn't know how to restrain himself and keep a low profile. He is arrogant all day long, talking about the great Zhou Chai Shizong, and shutting down about the iron coupon of the alchemy book given by the Taizu, which arouses the good-tempered official. Everyone couldn't help being angry, and complained to their brother on informal occasions many times.

When Gao Lian was chatting with Gao Qiu, he got this news by accident, and he secretly took it to heart at the time. Just this time, my brother-in-law got into trouble with Chai Jin's uncle, Chai Huangcheng. , who would have thought that Wang Lun, an irrelevant evil star, would lead a large army to kill him for the sake of Chai Jin, instead of nesting in Liangshanbo, which is really unimaginable.

This scholar has spent more than ten years in the cold window. He didn't even understand the principle that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. He took his benefactor back to the cottage. Are you looking for trouble?

Fortunately, he failed many times, and his life was difficult, so he deserved it!

Gao Lian walked around the mansion in a depressed mood, and at this time he had already forgotten about Chai Jin, and only waited for his elder brother Gao Qiu's two confidantes, Yu Zhi and Wen Wenbao, to come to discuss military matters.

In less than a cup of tea, two generals rushed to the government office, greeted Gao Lian, and said: "Thank you, the young generals came back from patrolling the city and found that there is no change in the Liangshan army. They will attack the city overnight!"

When Gao Lian heard this, he was relieved and said: "The two generals are my brother's confidantes. Now that the bandits are approaching the city, what clever plan do you two have?"

"The current strategy is nothing more than waiting for help, or going out of the city to break through the siege!" Yu Zhi said first.In fact, there is a third way, which is to abandon the city and flee before the army of Liangshanbo arrived, but Gao Lian didn't want to bear the infamy of abandoning the city before the enemy arrived, otherwise he would escape with his life. In the future, it will be rare for Sheng Jia to confess in front of Sheng Jia, and if he doesn't talk about it, his elder brother Gao Qiu will be implicated.

"How can you stick to the law of waiting for aid, and how can you go out of the city to break through the siege?" Gao Lian said in a light and heavy tone.

"Our Gaotang prefecture has Enzhou in the west, Dezhou in the east, Bozhou in the south, and Yizhou in the north. The envoys of these four states have sent people to ask for help not long ago. If we wait for help, we can survive the few days ahead. Day, when the reinforcements arrive, we will be safe!" Yu Zhi reported.

Gao Lian frowned, and said to the two: "Bozhou and Enzhou, because of the matter of the Daming Mansion, asked Liang Shan to kill the pursuers of his two states and turn him on his back. There are less than two battalions of [-] imperial guards in Dezhou. He asked him to help me? He also wished that I would help him! He said that two troops of unknown origin crossed the border, so scared that the gates of the city dared not open! Yizhou has a strong army, but Zhizhou has no friendship with me, and the leader of the army is not my brother's man..."

Seeing Gao Lian chattering endlessly, Yu Zhi and Wen Wenbao just wanted to find a reason to sneak away. At that moment, neither of them dared to ask Gao Lian to stand by and wait for help. I heard that Lin Chong, the head of the former 80 imperial army, was also among them. This man harbored resentment towards the Taiwei, so kindness must be guarded against! Besides, there are no fewer than [-] strong men, which are more than ten times the number of officers and troops in my city. Enxiang is worthy of being able to defend so far. The imperial court is very kind!"

"I'm sorry for the official family. My heart is as clear as a mirror. At this time, I have a plan in my heart to keep me safe. It's just that I need the full cooperation of the two generals!" Gao Lian said mysteriously. Said, hurriedly asked Gao Lian for a strategy, only to see him whispering in the ears of the two for a while, and the two looked at each other, Gao Lian patted the shoulders of the two and said: "Hurry up and ask the people to go to the city to guard, so that our son can live a good life." Rest overnight, and it will be of great use tomorrow!"
