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

Chapter 277 Emperor Huizong of Song: Was Cai Fu also a lecher? [4 chapters, please subscribe]

The dungeon of Liangshan Marsh.

After spending two days in the water dungeon, Zhang Shuye was transferred here and began living a life of utter darkness.

Fortunately, Cai Fu did not lack food, but he never saw the sunlight again...

Originally, Zhang Shuye would draw a line on the wall with a stone every day to count the days.

But as time went on, Zhang Shuye gradually felt that it was meaningless.

So what if you can calculate the date?
Was it so that he could die of old age in a dungeon and personally carve his birth and death dates on his tombstone?

Having stopped counting the days, Uncle Zhang became even more decadent, spending his days lying in the haystack reflecting on himself.

Three provinces aren't enough, so we'll have thirty, three hundred...

Then Zhang Shuye realized that he had done right by Emperor Huizong of Song, but he had failed his two sons!
To be unfaithful to my two sons is to be unfaithful to my wife, my father, and my ancestors!
The position of Prefect of Jeju was not so important as to his two sons!
If anything were to happen to his two sons, and he were also trapped and died in the Liangshan dungeon, the Zhang family line would end...

Having figured this out, Zhang Shuye missed his two sons even more.

He always found fault with his two sons, who were not very bright to begin with.

But all he wants now is to live with his two sons. What does it matter if he gives up being a mere prefect?
"Splash!"

The iron chains on the prison door were unlocked, and a lantern warmed the cell, but Zhang Shuye's heart trembled:
The timing is wrong!

It's not mealtime now, could it be... Oh well, what's meant to happen will happen!

Zhang Shuye couldn't help but clench his fists:

It's a pity I'll never see my two sons again...

"Zhang Shuye".

A familiar male voice came from the light:

Are you content to have wasted your life in the dungeon?

"It's you?"

Uncle Zhang squinted at Cai Fu in the lamplight:

Of course he was unwilling to accept it; he was no longer young.

He'll be too old if he doesn't make something of himself now...

Zhang Shuye shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What can I do if I'm unwilling? Will Cai Daowang let me go just because I'm unwilling?"

"you are right."

Cai Fu stroked the ghost head on the hilt of the ghost head knife with his large hand:
"I will not let you go."

Zhang Shuye frowned: "Why is that?"
"Could it be that Cai Daowang and Zhang Shuye have some personal grudge?"

"No."

Cai Fu shook his head: "I just can't bear to see such a great talent as you buried by the corrupt court."

Zhang Shuye was taken aback: "So you just buried me here?"

Because Cai Fu's words were so unreasonable, Zhang Shuye didn't even utter a single word of humility in response to the praise of "great talent."

"If Brother Zhang is willing to abandon darkness and embrace the light, I will now invite you out and entrust you with an important task!"

Cai Fu did not hesitate to persuade Zhang Shuye to surrender, and Zhang Shuye did not hesitate to refuse.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sword King!"
"Zhang Shuye was born a citizen of the Song Dynasty, and he will die a ghost of the Song Dynasty!"

"Very good! Very energetic!"

Cai Fu nodded:

"By the way, Brother Zhang, I have already found your son for you."

Zhang Shuye was both surprised and delighted: "Is this really true?"

"Ah!"

Cai Fu was too lazy to explain to him and turned to leave.

This time, Zhang Shuye didn't question it anymore and quickly grabbed Cai Fu's robe:
"Your Majesty, please wait!"

"Where did Your Majesty find those two rebellious sons?"

"It's quite a coincidence that they became my brother's disciples."

Cai Fu glanced back at him:
"Don't worry, they're doing very well under my brother's wing now. They're even begging me to lock you up a few more days!"

Zhang Shuye: (_)
Alienation meter!
It must be a scheme to sow discord!
After a two-second pause, Zhang Shuye quickly convinced himself:

How could my two foolish sons possibly beg Cai Daowang to lock me up for a few more days?

Although my two silly sons aren't very bright, I'm still their biological father!
Blood is thicker than water!

Zhang Shuye felt much better after thinking about it this way. He subconsciously wanted to say something to Cai Fu, but found that Cai Fu had already drifted away at some point.

Zhang Shuye suddenly felt as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat:
Who tries to persuade someone to surrender like that?
You should try to persuade me a little more; what if I give in if you do?
If Cai Fu were to go to great lengths to explain to him, Zhang Shuye would most likely not believe him and would only think that Cai Fu was trying to fool him.

But Cai Fu just left like that, and Zhang Shuye actually felt that what Cai Fu said was true...

The thought of his two sons being in Cai Fu's hands kept Uncle Zhang awake at night and made him lose his appetite...

……

Tokyo.

Royal study room.

"Trash! It's all trash!"

Emperor Huizong slammed his fist on the table, making a loud thud.
"Guan Sheng, Zhang Qing, Dong Ping, and Zhang Shuye are all useless!"
"You're all useless!"

The four treacherous officials, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Yang Jian, and Gao Qiu, remained silent in fear, allowing Emperor Huizong of Song to hurl insults at them.

After Emperor Huizong had finished his tirade, the four treacherous ministers exchanged glances, and Gao Qiu then revealed the good news:
"Your Majesty, two months ago, a rebel from Liangshan named Zhang Qing, nicknamed 'Vegetable Gardener,' defected to the light."

"He fled to Tokyo, intending to betray the military intelligence of Liangshan to me."

"However, due to a misunderstanding, he was imprisoned by Prefect Zhang of Kaifeng Prefecture..."

"Blah blah blah, Prefect Zhang has already handed the person over to me."

"After learning about the military situation at Liangshan Marsh from him, I did not know whether it was true or false, and dared not report it to Your Majesty lightly."

"Therefore, I asked Liu Yanqing, the commander of the Dragon God Guard, for a shrewd and capable person."

"They set a trap and sent that man to Liangshan Marsh to gather intelligence on the Liangshan Marsh's military situation."

"Once the intelligence he gathers about Liangshan Marsh matches what Zhang Qing, the 'vegetable gardener,' betrayed, I will report the news to Your Majesty."

"Just yesterday, news came back from Liangshanbo, confirming that the intelligence was reliable."

"Not only that, that person also found out some information that Zhang Qing didn't even know..."

"Oh?"

Emperor Huizong was overjoyed: "What intelligence?"

Gao Qiu then handed over Han Yiyun's secret letter.

After Emperor Huizong of Song personally reviewed it, he slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed in approval:

"So there's internal discord within Liangshan Marsh!"
"If that person takes the opportunity to sow discord between Song Jiang and Cai Fu, causing them to kill each other, then the destruction of Liangshan will be just around the corner!"
"Huh? Is Cai Fu, this heartless traitor, also a womanizer?"

Cai Jing immediately came up with a plan:
"Your Majesty, since the traitor Cai Fu is lustful, let's cater to his desires!"
"Let him be infatuated with women, and Liangshan will collapse without a fight!"

"Wow, wow!"

Emperor Huizong of Song clapped his hands and cheered:
"Let's do as the Grand Tutor says and cater to his preferences!"

"The intelligence says that Cai is surrounded by stunning beauties, and I'm afraid ordinary women wouldn't catch his eye..."

Gao Qiu's words made Emperor Huizong of Song nod repeatedly:

"That makes sense, Minister Gao. Do you have a suitable candidate?"

"Your Majesty, I recommend a woman!"
"This woman possesses unparalleled beauty, captivating charm, and exceptional intelligence!"
"If this woman were to take action, she would surely bewitch Cai to the point of madness!"

Gao Qiu's words piqued Emperor Huizong's keen interest:

"Oh? What's the name of this woman you recommended?"

Gao Qiu: "Li Shishi!"

Emperor Huizong of Song: (ノ益)ノ彡┻━┻
