Chapter 20 The Golden Orchid of Righteousness (Part 2)
There are pros and cons to get together with Jinlan. The advantage is that it can form an offensive and defensive alliance for a period of time, but the disadvantage is that once it comes to power, the brothers will pose a threat to their power. So although everyone knows that the Taoyuan charity was praised by Luo Guanzhong, Liu Bei did not become sworn with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei at all, but "they slept in the same bed when they sleep, and the kindness is like brothers."
However, for Dong Zunhui, who has just been reborn in ancient times, Yi Jie Jinlan was the best time for him to establish himself in ancient times. Besides, although "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was not written until the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the story of Taoyuan's charity had roughly taken shape at this time. Yi Jie Jinlan's resignation was recognized by the world, otherwise Zhao Kuangyin would not have been named the ten brothers of Yi Society in the future.
Seeing Dong Zunhui's sincere expression and unpretentious expression, Wang Zhengzhong and Yang Guangyi were both deeply moved. One of them is the boss of a small gambling house and the other is the head of a small escort agency. After all, his wealth is not very innocent, and he must be considered a gangster. Dong Zunhui, his father is the governor of Suizhou and is highly valued by the emperor; his brothers read poetry and books diligently, and he is a serious and innocent family. Wang Zhengzhong and Yang Guangyi were very moved by such a controversy.
Besides, listen to Dong Zunhui's oath. He was in the face of crisis. Wang Lingwen's private army was about to invade the country. The three of them wanted to reorganize the troops and protect the country and the people. This was not about calling brothers and robbing the family after drinking too much in the world. Instead, they supported each other in this troubled era, to share the joys and sorrows, and to work together with hardships!
Wang Zhengzhong and Yang Guangyi looked at each other, and tears of emotion appeared in their eyes. The three of them did not look for incense tables, candles, and sacrifices. They just held hands, pushed the golden mountain and turned the jade pillar, and worshiped each other.
In the past, when we were sworn brothers, we wanted to say sworn brothers, and we usually said this: "If you accept sworn brothers, we will be loyal to each other, we will be responsible for each other, good or bad, good or bad, and we will be dependent on each other. If outsiders are troubled by my brothers, we will be killed if my brothers are troubled by my brothers! If my brothers are troubled by my brothers, we will be killed if my brothers are troubled by my brothers!"
However, on this occasion, the oath was obviously a bit petty. So Dong Zunhui shouted: "I miss Dong Zunhui, Wang Zhengzhong and Yang Guangyi, although they have different surnames, they have become brothers, and work together to save the needy and help the poor; report to the country and the people. I do not seek to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but I only wish to die on the same day of the same month of the same year. The Emperor and Empress Tu really take this heart, betray the righteousness and be ungrateful, and the heavens and man will kill each other!"
This is Luo Guanzhong's oath to make up the feud of Liu, Guan and Zhang Taoyuan. Today, Dong Zunhui recited it. Wang Zhengzhong and Yang Guangyi then repeated it. Although only three people were, they were not thin at all and were full of strength. Because Dong Zunhui had a noble status, Wang and Yang recommended him as their eldest brother. Although Dong Zunhui refused to give in, Wang and Yang repeatedly persuaded him and finally received the courtesy; Wang Zhengzhong was the oldest and was the second brother; Yang Guangyi was unshaven, but he was not very old, and was the third brother.
The three of them kowtowed hard nine times and stood up again, which made the relationship very close. They looked at each other and laughed like a mother and fellow-comrades who had been together for many years.
Wang Zhengzhong suddenly slapped his head and said quickly: "By the way, I almost forgot that Wang Duan has been imprisoned, and the brothel he occupied should also be confiscated. I heard that those gambling houses and brothel owners had no way to tell them, and they jumped into the river to commit suicide. Since there was no miserable, the gambling houses and brothels became ownerless things. According to the convention, they will be auctioned publicly, and the proceeds will belong to the Suizhou government. We are not familiar with the business of running brothels, but I still have a good hand in running the gambling houses. Brother, please suggest to the governor that you should hand over these gambling houses to us for management."
"This..." Dong Zunhui was a little hesitant. After all, he was still a young man with four people ten days ago. He occasionally blushed and shy when watching porn movies. Now he suddenly went to open a gambling shop, and the span was too big!
Dong Zunhui scratched his head and persuaded Wang Zhengzhong: "Second brother, these are all ill-gotten wealth, and they just took it away. People thought that we were thinking that Wang Duan's money was set up to harm each other! Besides, there are no things we can do when we are standing by the river. If we always run these gang-related places, how much future can we have? Now that you promise to go to the military camp with me, sit up from the grassroots general and be a Dutch first. If I can be promoted to Dutch, how can you and your third brother be a commander? As long as you work hard, we will always have a day to make a successful move!"
Yang Guangyi also nodded repeatedly. He finally took the right path and was the best time to wash his whitewash. If you don’t take this time, where can you find such a good opportunity in the future?! As long as the three brothers unite and start from the grassroots level, the days of promotion and wealth to shine on their lintel are just around the corner!
Seeing that Dong Zunhui's guards were far away, Wang Zhengzhong laughed and said, "Brother, third brother, you two are tiger-beating heroes in Suizhou City, and the other are old men who have been living in the world for many years. Why are they like those nerds who have been studying hard? Well, let me ask you two, always say that when you are a soldier, where does this food pay come from?"
Yang Guangyi intended to show himself in front of his brothers, so he answered first, "Of course it came out of our Suizhou official warehouse!"
Dong Zunhui shook his head helplessly, "There is no money left in the Suizhou official warehouse. It is not yet time to collect money and grain in the autumn. My father paid for the widows, widows, orphans, repaired the houses of the people, and helped the refugees. He had already spent all the money in the official warehouse, and even had a lot of money left at home."
Yang Guangyi hurriedly said, "Brother, second brother, don't be anxious. This time the governor wants to send someone to seize Wang Duan's mansion, it will definitely make a lot of money. Give us a few, and the money to maintain the army will be released!"
Although Wang Zhengzhong was unwilling to attack him, he did not want to make him too optimistic. Wang Zhengzhong said with a wry smile: "In order to curry favor with Wang Lingwen, Wang Duan sent all the money he had paid to Anzhou. I am afraid that there was not much money in his mansion. Even if the money was withdrawn and to calm the morale of the army, the governor would distribute most of it. Besides, even if the governor allocated part of the money this time, what about the future? The governor will always be promoted. Since we want to follow the military path, we must control the money by ourselves, otherwise Wang Duan today will be ours tomorrow! Although the reputation of opening a gambling house is not good, it can provide money and materials to maintain the army. Brother, and as long as you come forward, no one will compete in these gambling houses. We will definitely be able to hold them in our hands at a low price!"
