Chapter 68 Difficult Choice
An Dao Xuansu is known as a magic doctor. I don't know how many soldiers and people in Liangshan have been saved by him. In Liangshan, it is like a Buddha from all families.
How could he get sick? Is it that people often say that good men can cure others but not themselves?
An Daoxuan also saved Song Qing's life, so although Song Qing was very tired, he immediately decided to visit An Daoxuan.
Try to take good care of Song Jiang and inform yourself immediately if she wakes up. Then he stepped out. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, a figure flashed in front of him.
"I have seen Erlang"
Song Qing's mind is now full of all kinds of things. Leng Ding was summoned and couldn't help but be shocked. He looked up in surprise, but he saw Zhu Fu standing in front of him with a smile on his face.
Thinking of what Zhu Fu did silently for himself, Song Qing only felt a warm current pouring into his heart. Reaching out and patting Zhu Fu on the shoulder, Wen Yan said, "After these days, you and my brother are having a good drink. Uncle An is sick. I'll visit him."
Zhu Fu's eyes flashed, but he bowed his head and said to Song Qing: "Lao Zhu is waiting for Erlang's dispatch at any time"
Song Qing smiled and said nothing more. He walked out. I don't know why, a strange feeling suddenly rose in my heart, as if Zhu Fu had changed as if he had not seen him in the past few months.
Maybe this boy is engaged in the internal guard, right? The whole person also became gloomy.
This is Song Qing's own explanation to himself.
Because he had to take care of Song Jiang all the time, An Daoxuan lived in Song Jiang's guest room and was taken care of by his two apprentices.
The first feeling Song Qing saw An Daoxuan was that the old man was not sick.
I feel that the old man An is more serious than Song Jiang's room, as if he was about to die.
The windows were covered by thick black cloth, and a glimmer of light and no wind could enter. A dim oil lamp was placed at the head of An Daoxuan's bed, as if he had come to another world, and the smell of medicine in the room could smoke people.
The old man huddled in a thick quilt, his face was pale and seemed to be terminally ill, but Song Qing pretended to be him no matter how he looked at him. Because his eyes are so bright that he doesn't look like a seriously ill person at all.
What trick is this old man playing?
An Daoxuan, who was lying in **, seemed to see Song Qing's doubts and waved his hand to drive his apprentice out.
"Erlang doesn't need to be suspicious. If not, I'm afraid I can't wait for Erlang to come back."
The old man spoke very angryly and didn't look sick at all. And after saying that, he sat up, but there seemed to be something hidden in his quilt, which was soon covered by him.
Bloomingly, Song Qing had a bad feeling in his heart. This is Liangshan and Songjiang's home. Who can make An Daoxuan afraid of this? So that you have to pretend to be sick?
"What the hell is going on?"
There is no intention to be polite. Song Qing directly asked about the topic.
An Daoxuan asked Song Qing to sit down, and he also sat opposite Song Qing. Then he said with a serious face, "Gong Ming was killed." Seeing Song Qing want to interrupt, he then said, "I'm not talking about Prince Zhao Huan, but our people in Liangshan"
This sentence is like a thunderbolt in Song Qing's ear. He suddenly stood up and lost his voice, "What are you talking about? Is there someone on the mountain who wants to hurt my brother?"
An Daoxuan looked decadent and sighed, "It's also an old medical skill. I have never found another kind of poison hidden in Gongming's body. When I found it, I was powerless, alas! Old and incompetent!"
How is that possible? Liang Shan brothers's righteousness comes first. Although there is a Lu Junyi, it is a very special case after all. Most of them firmly support Song Jiang. How can anyone kill him now?
Song Qing's heart was like turning upside down, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. He vaguely felt that this matter had something to do with him.
"Have you found out who it is?"
An Daoxuan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If I can investigate, I don't have to be afraid of this, but I think it must be a closer person to Gongming, and others can't get close to Gongming at all."
An Daoxuan seemed to be a little insincere, and his eyes were a little erratic when he spoke.
This slight change did not escape Song Qing's eyes.
Lao An didn't tell the truth. He wanted to see himself, but he didn't dare to pass others, but moved out of the new moon. Obviously, not long after the crescent moon went to Liangshan, they came back all the way. They have a certain friendship and are trustworthy people. From this alone, we can see that the old man has noticed something, or has doubts, so why doesn't he tell himself? What is he afraid of?
"Who else knows about this?"
"How dare I talk nonsense about such a big thing? If this news is leaked out, it's no wonder that Liangshan is not in chaos."
Since An Daoxuan refused to say it, Song Qing did not intend to ask any more questions, because he suddenly thought of a very realistic question.
If Song Jiang dies, who will benefit the most? This is a truth that fools can figure out. Does he need to ask any more questions?
Stand up and salute An Daoxuan deeply and say, "Uncle, don't worry, no one is allowed to hurt you with Song Qing. You are resting for a few days, and I will thank you after I solve this matter first."
Once the news of Song Jiang being poisoned on the mountain spreads, he is likely to be used by people with intentions. At that time, he, the biggest beneficiary, is likely to become the target of public criticism. At that time, those who support and oppose him are bound to have a competition.
If that's the case, Liang Shan will be far from the day of separation.
So Song Qing thanked the old man from the bottom of his heart. I believe it was also because of this that someone wanted to kill him, which was to protect himself and clear a big hidden danger for Liang Shan.
What a poisonous mind, who is this person? Song Qing had a vague answer in his mind.
I don't know when the moon has quietly climbed up the branch.
Song Qing strolled in the courtyard, and the hammer followed him not far behind him.
At this time, Song Qing's heart was really confused. This person was vicious and unscrupulous to achieve his goal, but everything he did was for himself. How should he treat or deal with this person?
Although there was no evidence, An Daoxuan did not say who he suspected, but Song Qing still guessed who this person was at once.
Zhu Fu, who is as fat as a pig, seems to be as timid as a mouse, but he is extremely fierce and known as a smiling tiger.
In less than half a year, he set up an internal guard and collected a group of top killers to secretly protect him and save his life at a critical moment. What a great achievement this is?
If you can have such a person to assist you, what else is not satisfied?
The problem is that he killed his brother. If he kills him, he can avenge his brother, but can his conscience survive?
It seems that two people calculated Gao Yu together, were beaten into the cold palace by the fake Song Jiang, and called their friends to drink and eat meat together. I can't help but feel pain in my heart.
If you let him go, if nothing happens, will your conscience pass? Although he has no feelings for Song Jiang, after all, he is his own brother. If he let the person who killed his brother go unpunished, can he really be so cold-blooded?
One by one, Song Qing's head got bigger.
After standing for a long time, Song Qing turned to the hammer and said, "Call Gao Jin"
Anyway, some things still need to be prepared early. Now it seems that it was right to agree to Gao's internal guards at the beginning.
Gao Jin has been waiting outside since Song Qing came back. After he went back to Liangshan to report to Zhu Fu first, Zhu Fu did not arrange anything specific for him, but asked him to follow himself every day and familiarize himself with some internal guard affairs, but it was still too early to say that he had a comprehensive grasp of the internal guard.
After a brief talk with Gao Jin, Song Qing asked him to retreat and find Hua Rong, who was responsible for the guard around Song Jiang's mansion.
After everything was arranged, Song Qing took a hammer to the tavern that Zhu Fu often went to. He knew that Zhu Fu must be there, because there was Zhu Fu's favorite dog meat there, and he used to be a guest here.
The pub is very deserted today. Only Zhu Fu is drinking and eating meat in the whole pub, and even a clerk is missing.
When Song Qing came, Zhu Fu was chewing like a starving ghost. A large plate of dog meat and four dog thighs have been wiped out by him.
He was the only one, but there were two pairs of bowls and chopsticks on the table. It seemed that he was waiting for someone.
Song Qing didn't say anything. He sat silently opposite Zhu Fu, reached out and tore a dog leg and ate it. With Dou Niang by his side, he hasn't eaten like this for a long time.
Neither of them spoke. You ate one bite and I ate silently until the whole plate of dog meat was eaten by the two. The two stopped, looked at each other, and suddenly laughed in unison.
"I'm happy, I haven't eaten like this for a long time"
Song Qing smiled and took the wine pot to pour wine for himself, but he didn't expect that the wine pot was taken away by Zhu Fu as soon as he picked it up.
"Liangshan has a lot of things, waiting for Erlang to deal with, so don't drink this wine"
Zhu Fu poured himself a cup, and then raised his neck to drink it.
"Do you know I will come?"
Song Qing suddenly felt something in his heart and didn't go to get the wine pot again. He quietly looked at Zhu Fu and asked.
Zhu Fu suddenly smiled and poured another glass of wine.
"Old An saved countless people in his life, but he didn't expect that he was also a master of poison? Lao Zhu thought he had no plan, but he didn't expect to fail in the end."
After saying that, Zhu Fu took out a pamphlet from under the table and seemed to be a little reluctant. He read it again and again, and finally put it on the table and pushed it to Song Qing.
"Here is the roster of all the internal guards and their identities
Is An Daoxuan also a master of poison? In this case, how could he not see that there are two kinds of poisons on Song Jiang?
This idea flashed in Song Qing's mind and returned to Zhu Fu. It seems that Zhu Fu has understood his intention, otherwise he would not have put on such a scene.
"Why did you do this?"
"Lao Zhu has been a coward for half of his life. No one has ever looked at me until he met Erlang. This period of dating Erlang is Lao Zhu's happiest day. It's worth it. Lao Zhu has done everything he can do, and the rest is up to Erlang."
Zhu Fuxiang is talking to Song Qing, and it seems that he is talking to himself. Gradually, the voice became lower and lower until there was no sound.
Looking at Zhu Fu, who was smiling and sitting there motionless, Song Qing suddenly had an impulse to cry.
If Song Jiang does not die, Song Qing will never come out. Zhu Fu did something for him that he didn't want to do and didn't dare to do. Without An Daoxuan's suggestion, Song Qing might never know that Zhu Fu could hide it forever.
Since Song Qing knows the truth of the matter, Zhu Fu has only one way to die.
So Zhu Fu chose the most direct way to prove his absolute loyalty to Song Qing and committed suicide.
Yes! The road has been paved for Song Qing, and the rest is Song Qing's business.
Song Qing pondered for a moment, stood up and bowed deeply to Zhu Fu's body, and then turned around and strode out.
Zhu Fu's smiling body sat there, as if to see Song Qing's back getting farther and farther away,
