Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"what!"

Song Jiang got his figure,

I couldn't resist swaying it a little.

"Say that again!"

"It's being said all over the martial arts world now,"

The henchman had no choice but to repeat it again.

"It was you, Clerk, who instructed Chief Constable Lei to secretly do this,"

"That's what led to King Chao's death!"

"W-what did you say!"

Song Jiang's eyes widened in disbelief.

His expression was as if he wanted to devour someone.

"Clerk, I didn't say that,"

The henchman hurriedly defended himself.

"These are all rumors circulating outside."

"Rumors are circulating outside..."

Wu Yong beside him,

Ignoring the shock,

He hurriedly inquired,

Is it only spreading in Jeju Island?

What about Qingzhou?

"It's being spread everywhere now,"

The henchman replied in a low voice.

"Our Qingzhou area should be no exception."

"Bang!"

Song Jiang's legs went weak.

He sat down on the ground.

"Ashi,"

Wu Yong hurriedly stepped forward,

She reached out to help him.

He gestured for his men to leave.

"Oh right, about what I said earlier..."

"Don't worry, sir, I won't say anything!"

The henchman quickly offered his assurances.

Seeing Wu Yong nod,

He couldn't help but remind him again.

"But this matter probably can't be kept secret for long,"

"It should only take a day or two,"

"People on the mountain probably know about it too."

"Alright, this is none of your business."

Wu Yong waved his hand.

The henchmen quickly left.

Inside this room,

The strategist had just helped Song Jiang to a chair when

Then he saw Timely Rain grab his arm tightly.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

"Once word gets to the mountain,"

"What...what am I going to do?"

“Clerk, don’t worry,”

Wu Yong smiled.

He then poured a bowl of water for Song Jiang.

"This matter is not yet beyond redemption."

"What you mean, sir..."

Song Jiang drank the water in the bowl in one gulp.

Looking at Wu Yong with a face full of anticipation,

"What we just heard was nothing but rumors and gossip,"

The strategist said with a face full of disdain,

"And there's no real evidence,"

"What's the use of spreading these rumors all the time!"

"But, sir,"

Song Jiang said with a bitter face,

"Gossip is a fearsome thing!"

"Let these rumors continue to spread,"

"How can I face my brothers in the martial arts world!"

"If the clerk is worried about this,"

Wu Yong pondered for a moment,

"In this way, when King Chao's funeral is held,"

"The clerk should act as if he is in unbearable pain, the more miserable the better."

"Is this...is this okay?"

Song Jiang confirmed.

"Are there any real facts or evidence to support those rumors?"

Wu Yong shook his head and said,

"As long as the bailiff performs well,"

"I can't speak for others, but at least it's the brothers in the mountain stronghold,"

"They definitely won't believe it."

"As long as the brothers in the village don't believe it, that's fine."

Song Jiang couldn't help but nod.

Once the matter of resolving the rumors is determined,

Song Jiang looked at Wu Yong with a serious expression.

"Sir, how exactly did that news get out?"

"Logically speaking, knowing about that matter should..."

"Only me, sir,"

"Brother Lei Heng and that Prefect Murong..."

"The news must have been leaked from Murong Yanda's side,"

Wu Yong immediately said with certainty,

"The remaining three of us have been at Qingfeng Mountain these past few days,"

Even if rumors are circulating,

"It should first circulate in the mountains."

"But now, the rumors started at the foot of the mountain,"

"This shows that the rumors must have come from outside."

"But...but how could Prefect Murong..."

Song Jiang looked utterly dejected.

"Doesn't he know?"

"If this is done wrong, it could kill us!"

"Clerk, since ancient times, the walls of government offices have always been leaky,"

Wu Yong smiled helplessly.

"This matter might have been mentioned by Prefect Murong to someone close to him by chance,"

"In the end, it was just leaked out like that."

"Can....."

Song Jiang angrily raised his hand and slammed it on the table.

"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have told Murong Yanda about it in the first place..."

Chapter 1020 Whose Fault Was It?

"What else can we do now that things have come to this?"

Wu Yong smiled wryly.

"Could we possibly go and cause trouble for Prefect Murong?"

“Sir is right,”

Song Jiang sighed.

"After we receive the imperial pardon, we will still need the help of Prefect Murong."

"We really can't afford to offend him!"

"In short, regarding this matter now,"

Wu Yong pondered for a moment,

"It's better if we know beforehand."

"Having prepared myself mentally, even if it's just a couple of days later,"

"The message was sent back to the mountains,"

"We can always be prepared."

.....

Qingzhou Prefecture City

Murong Yanda also received it from his subordinates.

Having learned of the rumors circulating outside,

Upon hearing Chao Gai's words,
