Chapter 534 Persuading Shi Jin
After Yang Zhi killed Wang Ying, he immediately took a knife to help Hu Yanzhuo deal with Qin Ming.
"Yang Zhengzhi, Qin Ming is going to survive." Hua Ju saw Yang Zhi bringing a knife over, worried that he would kill Qin Ming by mistake, so he quickly spoke out and reminded him.
"The villain obeys the order." Yang Zhi said, then put down the knife in his hand and walked over empty-handed.
Xu Ning pointed at Ling Zhen and Lehe with a knife and said, "Do you two still want to continue to resist?"
Ling Zhen also participated in the conspiracy to surrender to the court like Hu Yanzhuo, so Xu Ning never took any real action against him from the beginning and kept beating him.
Lehe is Sun Li's brother-in-law, so Xu Ning also showed mercy to his subordinates. Otherwise, with Xu Ning's martial arts, he would have already killed Ling Zhen and Lehe.
Hearing Xu Ning's question, Ling Zhen took this opportunity to kneel down and kowtow at Hua Ju and said, "The villain is willing to surrender."
"Ling Zhen, you, a villain who is greedy and afraid of death, dares to betray Liangshan. I will kill you."
Mrs. Gu, who was already injured and fell to the ground, struggled to stand up from the ground and prepare to go over and kill Ling Zhen.
At this moment, Lu Junyi, Gao Zhan, Guan Sheng, and Wang Jin came in from outside with two thousand crossbow archers and surrounded the entire garden.
Seeing so many soldiers coming, Mrs. Gu began to panic and didn't care about killing Ling Zhen anymore. She quickly retreated to Sun Xin and prepared to die with her husband.
"grown ups."
Lu Junyi, Guan Sheng, Gao Zhan, Wang Jin walked to Hua Jue and bowed. Hua Jue smiled slightly and said, "You are here."
"I am late for others, I hope you will forgive me for your crime." Lu Junyi said.
Hua Ju smiled and said, "You didn't come late, it's just right."
Then he looked at Wang Jin and said, "Your apprentice Jiuwen Long Shijin is there, do you want to go over and gather with him?"
Wang Jin had seen Shi Jin outside the wall, but now their identities are opposite, so he dared not show his desire to see him. However, since Hua Ju took the initiative to propose, he really wanted to go there.
I advised him, after all, they were both a master and an apprentice, and they didn't want to see Shi Jin reach the dead end.
"If the Lord allows him, Bei Zhi wants to go over and persuade Shi Jin to surrender." Wang Jin said.
"Are you sure to persuade him to surrender?" Hua Ju said.
Wang Jin said: "His martial arts is taught by Huyi. He has always respected Huyi very much. Huyi thinks he should be able to listen to Jinwei's advice."
Hua Ju said: "You have not met Shi Jin for many years. He is no longer the Shi Jin who studied art with you. He may not be able to listen to your words."
Wang Jin looked at Shi Jin and saw that Shi Jin's situation was already very dangerous, because after Han Tao joined the attack on him, he seemed more and more passive, and had reached the point where he was in danger and could die at any time.
"Bizhi begs to ask Beizhi to give him a try." Wang Jin said.
"Since General Wang wants to try it, go, Shi Jin is also a talent, and it would be good if he can be used by the court. However, if he is stubborn and insists on fighting the court to the end, then I
He could only send him to accompany these dead Liangshan leaders." Hua Ju said in a plain tone, but Wang Jin could feel the murderous intent contained in his words.
"Don't worry, sir, I will do my best to persuade him." Wang Jin said.
Hua Ju nodded slightly, and Wang Jin immediately walked towards Shi Jin and the others.
Hua Ju looked at Hua Rong who was still struggling to death and said to Gao Zhan and Guan Sheng: "General Gao, General Guan, you go and catch Hua Rong."
"As for the orders of humble duties," Gao Zhan responded, and then walked towards Hua Rong.
Wang came to Liu Shun and the others' periphery and shouted: "Stop, don't fight again."
When Liu Shun and others saw that it was Wang Jin, they immediately put their swords away. Although Han Tao did not recognize Wang Jin, they saw that Liu Shun and others were obedient and retreated, and they knew that the people coming were unusual, so they immediately retreated.
Shi Jinzheng couldn't support him and was about to be killed. Suddenly, he heard someone shouting, and all the besieged retreated. He felt very confused. Then he looked at Wang Jin, but because he had not been with Wang Jin for several years.
When they met, Wang Jin was wearing armor and a helmet at this time, so he didn't recognize him for a while.
"Dalang, long time no see you." Wang Jin shouted, because when he was teaching Shi Jin to learn art in Shijiazhuang, he had always been called Shi Jin Dalang.
Hearing Wang Jin call him Dalang, Shi Jin looked at him carefully and finally recognized Wang Jin, shouting excitedly: "Master!"
Wang Jin nodded slightly and said, "Are you okay after being separated for many years, Dalang?"
"Master, I have visited the old master of the old Zongliuan in Yan'an to find you, but I haven't found you, you..."
At this time, Shi Jin noticed that Wang Jin was wearing the general uniform of the guards, and judging from the style of the general uniform, he was still a senior general. Shi Jin said: "Master, are you working in the guards now?"
"Yes, I am now the commander of the escort army in the middle wings of the escort army." Wang Jin said.
"It turns out that the master has already reached the commander of the wing capital."
Shi Jin smiled bitterly and said, "Is the master here to catch me now?"
Shi Jin shook his head slightly and said, "You are wrong. I'm not here to catch you, but to save you."
"Save me!" Shi Jin was stunned.
Wang Jin said: "The situation in Liangshan is over. I don't want to see you like those killed over there, so you should surrender quickly. As long as you surrender to the court, you can be exempted from all guilt. After making meritorious service for the court in the future, you will still be able to do so.
If you can get commendations from the court and become a loyal minister and general of the court, you will be relieved when you go back to worship Mr. Shi in the future."
Shi Jin said: "Master, I should listen to you when you come to persuade me. But now the court is corrupt and chaotic, and treacherous ministers are in power. People like us submit to the court will not only not have a chance to stand out, but will also be subject to corruption and corrupt officials of treacherous ministers and officials.
Exclusion and suppression may even be difficult to protect your life. Instead of doing this, it is better to be free to be a bandit.
So, please forgive me for not being able to agree.”
Wang Jin said: "The situation you mentioned is the past, but since Lord Hua brought Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and others down, the courts are mostly dominated by loyal ministers, and the emperor no longer listens to the past.
The slander of those treacherous ministers.
Especially at the suggestion of Lord Hua, all prefectures and counties sent clean officials to rule. In the past, those corrupt officials were arrested and killed. The official atmosphere was no longer the same as before.
I remember when you were studying art with me, you once said that you learned your skills to one day you can go to the border to kill enemies and serve the country, and take back the land of the Liao Kingdom and Xixia. Now there is such an opportunity for you.
Why don’t you cherish it in front of you?”
Shi Jin sighed slightly and said, "Master, it's not that I don't listen to your advice, but that my disciples have seen through what the government has done over the years and really don't want to enter the officialdom and be angry with them."
Wang Jin knew that this would not be possible, so he thought about it and decided to take another method and asked, "Dalang, do you still believe me?"
Shi Jin said: "You are my master and the closest person I am besides my father. Of course I believe in you."
Wang Jin said, "Okay, since you still believe me, then I will let you follow me to meet Lord Hua and tell him in person that you are willing to surrender."
“Master…”
"Don't talk first, listen to me."
Wang Jin interrupted Shi Jin and said, "I understand and understand what you said just now, but you must feel and confirm some things yourself.
So, I ask you to show your willingness to surrender and save your life first. Then you follow us back to Bianjing, go and walk by yourself, see, listen to whether the Song Dynasty is different from before.
Have the lives of ordinary people changed? Are the officials in the government still corrupt and abused the law like before? What do the people think about the current government? What do they think about Liangshan?
If you finally understand that it is the same as before, then whether you want to become a bandit or rebel, I will never stop you.
But if you finally understand that it is indeed as I said, you will stay with the guards to serve steadily in the future and don’t have any rebellious thoughts.”
Shi Jin pondered for a while, and finally listened to Wang Jin's words and said, "Master, I accept your proposal."
"Okay, then you can go with me to meet the master now." Wang Jin said.
Then, Wang Jin took Shi Jin and walked over to Hua Ju. When he was five meters away from Hua Ju, Wang Jin asked him to stand and wait for a while. He walked to Hua Ju first, clasped his fists and said, "Sir, I am already accused of being a good person.
He persuaded Haoshijin and he was willing to surrender to the court."
"How did you persuade him?" Hua Ju asked.
Wang Jin truthfully told the process of persuasion, Hua Ju nodded slightly and said, "Call him over."
Wang Jin called Shi Jin and walked over. Wang Jin looked at him. Shi Jin bowed and bowed, "Shi Jin, a villain, see the Lord."
"Forgive."
Hua Ju turned his head and looked at him, saying, "Wang Jin has told me the story. Since you still don't believe that the court has changed, I won't force you to surrender immediately now. Just follow what your master said.
I'll understand the situation in the Song Dynasty now and understand clearly. If you are willing to surrender to the court and serve the guards, I welcome it. If you still don't want to contribute to the court, as long as you are not going to be a bandit, I can also ask the emperor for your advice.
The pardon order allows you to go back and rebuild Shijiazhuang and live a peaceful life."
Hua Julie's decision not only surprised Shi Jin, but also Wang Jin was surprised.
"Sir, are you saying true?" Shi Jin asked.
"Do I need to lie to you?"
Hua Ju said: "Although you are a good talent, there are talents like you in the guards. I don't want to lie to you. I decided to give you a chance because of Wang Jin's face."
"Thank you, my dear, sir." Shi Jin said with his fists.
"If you want to thank me, thank you Master."
Hua Ju looked at Wang Jin and said to Shi Jin: "He has been in the Guards for so long and has never asked me for help. But just now, he asked me to persuade you again and again, in fact, to save you.
Otherwise, you would have been separated like those people over there. He really cares about you and hopes you don’t let him down.”
Shi Jin turned around with gratitude and knelt down at Wang Jin and said, "Thank you, Master."
"There is no need to do this, get up quickly." Wang Jin reached out and helped Shi Jin up.
