Chapter 17 The Origin of Chaos
Seeing Wang Shouren's farewell, Liang Hong was also a little excited. He held his shoulder and sighed slightly. Then he took the gift bag he handed over. He tried it with his hand and found that it was actually filled with silver.
This made Liang Hong's face turn dark, and he immediately stuffed the treasure bag back into Wang Shouren's hand, and said angrily: "What are you doing? I'm going to draw my sword to help you when I see unfairness. How can I beg for your money?"
"Brother, don't misunderstand it," Wang Shouren blushed when scolded by Liang Hong, and quickly explained: "I just saw that my brother's clothes were damaged. I want to give this to my brother, so I can also re-buy my outfit..."
"Hahaha, no need, just have a sword!" Liang Hong laughed loudly, picked up the sword and patted it. Just kidding, Liang Hong is a rich man now. The fifty taels of gold that Lan Feng gave before was exchanged for ten taels, but now his pocket is bulging, and he doesn't care about Wang Shouren's little money at all.
"Since that's the case, Shouren thanked his elder brother," Wang Shouren had no choice but to put the money away.
Liang Hong nodded and was about to get on the horse and leave. Then he thought that Wang Shouren seemed to have come from the capital, and he was a family of officials. He seemed to be a high-ranking official before. He didn't feel moved, so he said with an extra word: "Brother Shouren, you were an official in the capital. Brother, I would like to ask, those officials and Emperor Zhengde in the capital, but they really know the chaos in the Yunnan-Guizhou area? Do they really want to quell the bandits here? Why did the imperial envoy sent only embezzle and accept bribes, but they didn't quell the bandits at all?"
Hearing this, Wang Shouren turned red again, and then he said with some embarrassment: "To be honest, I'm going to take office in the capital before, I'm the head of the Ministry of War. How could I not know the chaos in Yunnan and Guizhou? However, in the court, the eunuchs are in power. If I want to quell the bandits, I can only have the will but not enough."
"What's going on? I'm new here, not long ago, I'm curious. Why is it so messy here? Tell me, what is the court going to do?" Liang Hong said curiously.
Seeing Liang Hong asking, Wang Shouren sighed, then pulled Liang Hong down, took a sip of wine in a depressed manner, and then said: "The chaos in Yunnan and Guizhou has been around for a long time. The people may not fully know about this matter, but I have been the head of the Ministry of War before, so naturally I must send someone to investigate the situation here and know more about the situation here."
"Speaking of this, this matter is really tortuous." Wang Shouren paused and continued, "Brother should know that although Emperor Taizu, the founding king of the Ming Dynasty, was born in poverty, he was very proud and led his generals to sweep across the six rivers, unify the eight deserts, and finally rebuild the universe and establish the Ming Dynasty. However, Brother, do you know that when Taizu started his uprising, he used the power of the Ming Cult. The Ming Cult was developed from the Maitreya Sect, and they promoted Mi.
In fact, the root of the Buddhist branch in the Western Regions was the Buddhist branch in the Western Regions. It was precisely because of the power of the Ming Cult that our dynasty named Ming. However, after the founding of the country, in order to consolidate the foundation of the country, Taizu divided and killed the Ming Cult, which eventually led to the Ming Cult being underground, and many branches appeared. Although they could not form power, they continued to develop secretly. Some schools of them were even more wanted because of Taizu's ungrateful deeds and wanted to conspire to overthrow the Ming Dynasty."
It seems that the content of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is quite reliable. Could it be that the contents in it are all real? Liang Hong smiled in his heart.
"What does this have to do with the chaos in Yunnan and Guizhou?" Liang Hong said in confusion.
"The main body of the land of Yunnan and Guizhou is Miao people, and these Miao people are a branch of the Ming Cult at that time. The name is the Sun and Moon God Sect. The main hall is located in the Heimu Cliff on the border of Yunnan. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the terrain is extremely dangerous. The leader of the Sun and Moon God Sect was named Ren Woxing. He has high martial arts skills, but he is only in a corner, trapped in Miaojiang, and has no intention of competing for the Central Plains and fighting for dominance of the world. However, recently, Ren Woxing has disappeared. The replacement of him is a man named Dongfang Bubai. This man has extremely high martial arts and ambitious. I heard that he not only controlled many Miao Fan chieftains in Yunnan and Guizhou by using evil means, but even colluded with Japanese pirates entrenched in the Yunguang area, secretly recruited troops and gathered arms, and tried to attack the Central Plains in the north and overthrew the Ming Dynasty.
The dynasty was the intention of this person, and his purpose was to force the Miao people here to rely on him. At the same time, he bribed many ministers in the court to slander the chaotic situation above the emperor, saying that the chaos in Yunnan and Guizhou was just a trivial matter, and some chieftains were just a fool, and they were not afraid of it. This won time for his development. In fact, my younger brother was demoted this time because he wrote a letter to strengthen his military use in the border and Yunnan and Guizhou. At the same time, it pointed out that Liu Jin and others accepted bribes from the chaos and concealed the truth. This offended Liu Jin, and was slandered by him, and was demoted to the end and became a small postmaster. He took office in the border area and said that it was demoted, but it was not much different from exile."
After Wang Shouren finished speaking, he took the wine pot, took a heavy breath, and then said helplessly: "Even so, Liu Jin still sent someone to chase him. It is conceivable that these people are so arrogant that no one in the court dares to be afraid of them at all. Once they touch their interests, they will be demoted lightly and seriously, and they will lose their lives directly."
I didn't expect that this was the case.
Liang Hong did not have the helpless expression of Wang Shouren. He just thought it was fun because what Wang Shouren just mentioned sounded so familiar?
Damn, isn’t this the content of the Smiling and Proud Wanderer? The Smiling and Proud Wanderer is also real? Mr. Jin Yong is so awesome. It turns out that the so-called novel is a historical adaptation. Just this, it actually scares so many people. Hahaha, it’s so fun.
Ren Woxing, Dongfang Bubai, Sun and Moon God Sect, are there Ren Yingying and Linghu Chong? Oh my, things have become interesting, it’s so interesting!
For a moment, Liang Hong felt excited and imagined that he was fighting with those legendary masters of the martial arts world. He really didn't know what the situation would be.
What exactly does Linghu Chong’s Dugu Nine Sword look like? Ren Woxing’s Star-absorbing Technique. By the way, Dongfang Bubai’s Sunflower Book, your grandmother’s, you have to see it, otherwise it would be a waste of time.
"Brother, brother," Liang Hongzheng was awakened by Wang Shouren when he was drunk.
"Ah? What's the matter?" Liang Hong quickly wiped the dripping handkerchief, smiled and asked at Wang Shouren.
"I'm sorry, I'm very brave, I can't serve the country. I mean, if I'm willing, I've got some acquaintances in the court. I can recommend it to my elder brother and work in the army-"
"Stop," Wang Shouren was interrupted by Liang Hong before he could finish his words.
"Brother is unwilling to serve the country?" Wang Shouren frowned.
"Hey," Liang Hong sneered when he saw Wang Shouren's expression: "Serve the country? What's the difference between the imperial army now and the bandits? Will I go to such a broken army to mess around? Even the Kuomintang is not as good as the one, so we won't lose our identity."
"What is the Kuomintang?" Wang Shouren looked confused.
"Ahem, anyway, it's just a very trash bandit force. In short, I won't go to any military camp. You don't have to think about this. I like a free life and don't like being restricted," Liang Hong said.
Just kidding, I was a soldier in the previous life. I stayed in the military camp all year round and went home to visit relatives at most every year, which was dozens of days. The rest of the time was unfree. Now I have finally traveled through time and asked me to suffer the consequences of that bird. Don’t even think about it!
"Since my elder brother doesn't want to, I won't make things difficult for me anymore," Wang Shouren nodded.
"Well," Liang Hong smiled and looked at Wang Shouren and said, "By the way, do you know where the Jinyiwei who was chasing you came from?"
"As far as I know, Jinyiwei is spread all over the country, and the origin of these people--" Wang Shouren hesitated a little.
"They are the personal guards of the imperial envoy Gao Peng, didn't expect it?" Liang Hong smiled and said, "This imperial envoy was sent by the imperial court to quell the chaos. Guess what they are doing now? They are fighting Qiu Feng one by one along the Longchang Post Road. What's the matter of suppressing rebellion? It's nonsense. If you don't pay money, you are bandits. What else can you say?"
"Oh," Wang Shouren sighed unconsciously, feeling guilty, "How could Shouren not know what the elder brother said, just--"
"Okay, I don't mean to blame you. I just ask you. Gao Peng is obviously from the same party as Liu Jin. His younger brother Gao Feng is one of the Eight Tigers. Now that he sends someone to intercept you, he must have done this because he received the order from Liu Jin. By the way, Liu Jin is far away in the capital, with high mountains and long roads, so we can't deal with it, but Gao Peng is right in front of him and is acting like a might. What are your plans?" Liang Hong finished speaking and looked at Wang Shouren.
"What do you mean by brother?" Wang Shouren was a little confused.
"He is not kind, and I am not righteous either. It is better to kill him, eliminate harm for the people, and also exert the anger of being chased by him. What do you think?" Liang Hong began to instigate Wang Shouren to do bad things.
"Oh, brother, I can't do it. No matter what, Gao Peng is the imperial envoy of the court and the official, so how can he be killed randomly? Once he is killed, he will cause trouble." Unexpectedly, Wang Shouren, like Bai Xiu'er, tried his best to defend the bastard imperial envoy.
It seems that it is a bit difficult to pull Wang Shouren to be a killer. However, Liang Hong was not discouraged. He turned over and looked at Wang Shouren and said, "Brother Shouren, although you are kind, you must know that Gao Peng is in charge of the military power of the entire Guizhou and controls the three provinces. It is just when you don't kill him, but he wants to kill you. And your Longchang Station is under his rule, a small place, and I don't know when it will be destroyed. Okay, since you are unwilling to take risks, then I will help you again in the end so that you can spend safely in Longchang in the past few years. I hope that after my brother returns to the capital in the future, he will be able to uphold justice and benefit the people. Liang will leave here, let's go-away--"
