Every family has a scripture that is difficult to recite.
Once you open this sutra and read it for a long time, you will understand that the sutra itself is not difficult, but it is the person who reads it that is difficult.
Jiangdong's Sutra is obviously not easy to read either.
The rebellion in Juzhang in the fourth year of Taixing did not seem to affect Wu Commandery.
At least on the surface, that seems to be the case.
People eat what they should eat and drink what they should drink. The wealthy people are at ease and the poor people are struggling for their lives. Everything seems to be the same as usual, with no special changes.
In an ordinary wine shop outside Shuiguan, the east gate of Wu County, there are still noisy people and the aroma of wine and meat.
This wine shop is actually not that great. It has neither a decent store nor any exquisite tables and seats. The only thing that can be commended is that the quantity provided is real, whether it is fish, meat or wine, the price is low and the quantity is large.
Therefore, those who come to wine shops to drink and eat have nothing to do with the nobles. Basically, they are all vulgar men, soldiers and petty officials.
I have a treat today.
It's considered a reserved venue.
The person who reserved the place was Zhang Dimao, a well-known ranger in this area.
Those who came are naturally some idle men who hang out in this area on weekdays...
Han people are very generous in entertaining guests. If they just put out a small bowl as big as a palm and make some pickled radish and pickled cabbage to fool people, they will probably be laughed at by the neighbors.
Meat, beef and sheep are more expensive and in small quantities, and most people can't afford it. But a large pot of mutton soup is the basics, plus fresh river fish, which are killed alive and thrown into the pot immediately.
Go, when paired with fish and sheep, it will be very "umami". Add in the turbid rice wine and pour it in a big bowl. You will eat boldly and drink drippingly.
The people sitting around were all of the same status. They were all unlucky guys who were wallowing in the mud and water to earn a living. Naturally, they didn't feel uncomfortable. The more they shouted and drank, the more interested they became.
High, I can see that it’s almost time to turn on the lamp.
Speaking of which, Zhang Dimao was treated to a treat today, and the money was indeed well spent. No matter how much he ate, there were large wooden plates with vegetables. If he felt that there was something missing, he would say hello, and new ones would be added, as well as a full jar of drinks.
It's on and it's never been shut down.
Of course, ordinary people can't eat meat and drink wine every day. Everyone has been suffering for a long time. Today, no one wants to be polite. They hold wine glasses to fight with each other and just bury their heads in eating.
He was different, people came and went, and the sky was full of excitement. Everyone kept praising him for his generosity in an exaggerated way, but after talking about it, they gradually turned into envy.
We are all from the countryside. Who doesn't know that Zhang Dimao was just a wandering wanderer who had a good time and no time for the next. To put it nicely, he was called a chivalrous and righteous man, but in reality he was just messing around.
Everyone has seen Zhang Dimao's miserable appearance in the past few years. Sometimes he was so hungry that he was dizzy and his face turned blue, so we gave him some leftovers and two or three cakes to survive...
But I didn't expect that during this period of time, Zhang Dimao started to tremble without knowing when.
Everyone guesses that Zhang Dimao probably met some noble person and was promoted to some extent. Anyway, these days, it is not uncommon for a person to achieve the Tao of chickens and dogs and ascend to heaven. Just like the Sun family who came to Jiangdong back then, it was neither a rumor nor a legend.
He was born a thief, but now he is the lord of Jiangdong. Who would have thought of this?
With the meat in his stomach and the wine flowing into his blood, he became even more courageous. Zhang Dimao was well-off, and he was generous and magnanimous. He gave him a solid meal, but in any case, it was not a treat.
The invitation is free, and the wine and meat are not free. Zhang Dimao must have something going on...
But what is the problem?
Anyway, everyone has a bad life and is struggling to live. If you can take advantage of this opportunity to get a noble man, then you have to do anything to get it. Even if it is smuggling goods, doing business, grabbing territory, just say it.
That’s it! Looking at Zhang Dimao’s current wealth, who wouldn’t envy him? What’s the point of cherishing his humble life? If he could get some money, he could at least be free for a few days!
Everyone wanted to curry favor with Zhang Dimao and try to find out more about him, but they didn't expect that after Zhang Dimao greeted the guests at the door for a while, he disappeared. Some people saw him and said it was Zhang Dimao.
I met someone and found another room to have a drink behind closed doors...
Some people tried to pass by, but were stopped by some unfamiliar men. Those unfamiliar men seemed to be difficult to get along with, and their tone was harsh and cold, as if everyone owed him hundreds of coins.
He always put his hands in his arms when he spoke, obviously holding a weapon...
Somewhat evil.
The people were so unpredictable that they had no choice but to go back and continue drinking. While eating, they guessed who the noble person behind Zhang Dimao was and who they were meeting at the moment...
"...Someone is thinking that behind Brother Zhang, there is no one who is a wealthy person, or someone from the four major families. Otherwise, how could he be so wealthy and make Brother Zhang so ostentatious?"
"Come on, the people in these four families look at us as if they are a puddle of mud. Where can they come to us? What's more, as soon as those guys open their mouths, they will come up to them wherever they are.
Is it our turn?』
"makes sense……"
"Or who is the general in the army? There is a lot of transportation of military supplies near Shuimen. If you have a little loose hand, you will have food and grass as big as a mountain and money as simple as water!"
"It's wonderful to think about it. Even all this money and food can fall on you? At most, it's just to buy some coolies and transfer one or two things. Otherwise, what are you doing with poor guys like us who have only a handful of strength and empty sleeves?"
"Hey! That's probably it... But if you can spend some food and wine and supplement some food money, that's it. After all, it's work for everyone, so it's not bad!"
"Stop guessing, wait until Brother Zhang comes out... the guest he is accompanying must be the noble's confidant..."
A group of people were talking miscellaneously with each other. After a while, someone shouted in a low voice: "Brother Zhang is here! Brother Zhang is here!"
Everyone couldn't help but stop their hands and turned around to look, and saw Zhang Dimao striding forward. His face was red and full of vitality, and his head seemed to be covered with sweat, and it was shiny and shaking.
Is it because I drank too much, or is it due to some other reason...
Zhang Dimao strode into the hall, looking around with bright eyes. Everyone in the hall, inside and outside the courtyard met his gaze with eager eyes.
It's like a cat sees a fish, a dog sees meat, and Ultraman sees a little monster.
Perhaps it was because of the eager gazes of these people that Zhang Dimao finally made up his mind. He coughed and said loudly: "Brothers! Are you enjoying the wine today?"
The crowd suddenly burst into laughter, and some people shouted: "It's so happy! How can I not be happy? Thank you Brother Zhang for the hospitality, thank you Brother Zhang for the wine and meat!"
"Thank you, Brother Zhang!"
"Thank you for the wine and meat..."
It was a mess and many people echoed it.
Zhang Dimao also laughed twice and grinned, but he looked like he was smiling but not smiling. When the noise gradually subsided, he turned his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I drank and drank happily today, what about tomorrow? I'm here, too."
I’m not trying to spoil your mood, I just want to ask, how many times in your life can you eat wine and meat? How many times do you want to eat it? How many times can you eat it?! Are you willing? Are you willing?!"
The whole room and courtyard were originally noisy and chaotic, but as soon as Zhang Dimao asked these few questions, it gradually turned into dead silence.
His eyes, which were red from drinking, stared, and his breath gradually became heavier.
The resentment that was originally hidden in their chests, although it has been repeatedly destroyed by the years, seems to have been extinguished to the point where even the sparks cannot be seen. Even they themselves often use a self-deprecating and decadent tone, but what is deep in their bones is today's
Seduced by the drink and Zhang Dimao's words, he unknowingly started to stir again!
Who is willing to go out in the wind and rain every day, digging for food in the mud and water?
Who wants to be treated like a pig and dog every day, and live on scraps of food all day long?
They want to choose, but they never have the opportunity to choose.
In this world, sometimes when everyone sees too much and encounters too much, they become numb and think that it is all like this. Even if they are despised and laughed at, even in the end they feel that they have fallen into this situation.
At this point, either I am lazy, or my parents are lazy!
Those wealthy noble families are smart, diligent, know how to be thrifty, and know how to reserve, so they have accumulated wealth for generations! Those wealthy noble families are like this! So they are superior people!
As for themselves, they are poor because they are lazy, and they are even lazier because they are poor. Therefore, they will be like this all their lives, and then they will still be like this in the next life...
But really, is that what it is?
Zhang Dimao raised his foot and kicked over the table, causing the bowls and plates to jump up and fall to the floor, leaving a large stain on them, like spilled blood.
"Someone is unwilling! Someone is unwilling!"
"I also want to drink and eat meat every day!"
"Do you want to live like this? Do you want it?!"
Zhang Dimao's roars made everyone present feel as if something was vibrating in their internal organs, and then the blood vessels would jump, and then this thing would seem to come to life and roll around inside the body.
It feels like I want to break open my chest and sprout my head!
Some people in the field had already gasped and stood up, but some others reacted faster and stood up in panic: "Zhang...Brother Zhang, what are you going to do? It can't be...it can't be that you want to rebel."
?』
As soon as the word rebellion came out, some people's blood immediately dropped.
To put it bluntly, if they just shout slogans, these people are not bad, but if you really want them to cause chaos right now, even if soldiers are not mobilized from other places, even the county soldiers in the city are not them
What these ruffians, idlers, rangers and libertines can withstand...
No matter how loyal Zhang Dimao is, no matter how delicious the food and wine are, no matter how aggrieved and hardworking everyone is, there are still some things that they cannot even think about, let alone do.
Seeing someone getting up and wanting to leave, Zhang Dimao laughed, then waved his hand and said, "You guys think so highly of me! How can a little person like me dare to do something rebellious? It's just that there are noble people who are willing to give me something."
Wealth and honor! But this wealth cannot be obtained for free. Even if you have no choice but to give up some flesh and blood to get it! Go and fight for it! Zhang is not far away to enjoy these benefits alone. Say hello to everyone, which can be regarded as repaying the old friendship! If you don’t want it
You can even eat this wine and meat at your own house! If you want to stay, you can stay. If you want to go, you can go. I won’t give it away!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately became a little doubtful. Even those who secretly walked out couldn't help but retract their legs.
At first Zhang Dimao was hiding it and refused to tell the truth, but now he finally admitted that there was a noble person behind him, which was in line with everyone's speculation about him. But what exactly is this "richness" and is it worth the risk?
Everyone present looked around, and then someone said loudly: "Brother Zhang, just tell me what is going on. If it can be done, the brothers are not ambiguous and will definitely let Brother Zhang do it. If it really can't be done,
, Brother Zhang, don’t blame the brothers for not being loyal..."
Zhang Dimao pointed with his hand and said angrily: "You are a bastard, aren't you? Don't hide behind others, you have such a cocky voice, who can't remember it? Come out, come out!"
The crowd divided, and then a guy winked and stood two steps forward, "Brother Zhang, just tell me! What is going on?"
Zhang Dimao waved his hand, and immediately someone walked out and stood outside the door.
"Don't look at it. If you want to leave, you can leave now without stopping..." Zhang Dimao said, "If you want to leave again after listening... you have broken the rules..."
Everyone looked around, and most of them didn't move.
But some people saw that most people were not leaving, so they didn't move either.
"Thank you for showing me Zhang's face..." Zhang Dimao chuckled and said, "...nobles, nobles are human beings too! Are they human? Of course there are benefactors and enemies! Tonight, there will be a fleet of nobles and enemies.
When we get to Minato...as long as you kill the enemy of the nobleman, then you will naturally get the benefits from the nobleman!』
After everyone heard this, they looked around and were not frightened because Zhang Dimao was talking about murder.
These days, life is like a piece of grass.
"Then, why would the noble man come to us? Well, not to Brother Zhang..."
Zhang Dimao glared, "You are stupid! Who is familiar to us in this area of Shuimen? The water is deep, the water is shallow, there are many grasses, and there are dense forests. Do you really think that anyone can do it? You are a noble man?"
You want your enemy to die, but you can’t die too ostentatiously! Otherwise, where will it be our turn?!」
Zhang Dimao was frothing at the mouth when he said, "If a boat comes at night, it will definitely not be able to enter the water gate. Even if it is parked outside, it only needs to move a little bit... Anyway, people slip and fall into the water at night every year, so they can't be counted among us."
On your head?!』
"This matter..." Wang Erlaizi rolled his eyes, "Brother Zhang can do this with just a few hands, so why bother looking for us..."
Zhang Dimao snorted and said: "Nonsense! Of course I can do it, but the enemy of a noble person is naturally a noble person... If there is any movement, the soldiers on the water gate will definitely come down, so some people must first lead the soldiers on the water gate away...
』
Understood.
"Are you making trouble... I am familiar with this job..." Wang Erlaizi laughed, and then said, "Brother Zhang, please ask me more, who is this noble person...?"
Zhang Dimao snorted, "It's not a cover-up, but the less you know, the better! If you really want to know, Mr. Wang, come here and I'll tell you alone!"
Wang Erlaizi waved his hands repeatedly, "Forget it, forget it, just spare my little brother!"
Zhang Dimao chuckled twice, then turned to look at everyone, "How is it? Do you want to do it or not? What you do is all light, and the hard and dirty work is still done by a certain person! The ugly words are ahead, this matter
There are also dangers. If you don't want to do it, if you feel aggrieved, just stay here all night and wait for dawn to go wherever you like... If you are willing to do it, you must obey someone's orders! Take action when it's time to do it! Don't pee your pants by then.
Got the egg!』
"If you want to be rich, you have to risk your life!"
Zhang Dimao shouted in a low voice, which made everyone's hearts jump!
Now I understand everything, I understand it so much that I can't understand it any more.
They are not ignorant of the fights between nobles in Wu County. There are naturally not a few people who smile on their faces and do evil things behind their backs, and this time Zhang Dimao is inviting guests.
, is to gather everyone to act as the black hand this time.
Zhang Dimao was originally a ranger and a prodigal, so it was normal for him to receive this kind of business. At present, except for the Guanzhong Huqi area where there are no rangers due to some things, most counties and counties have rangers online.
Orders, running errands at any time, delivering goods and purchasing, various chores...
A chivalrous person uses force to break the law.
If there is no such thing as murder and arson, can it be called "violation"?
A man suddenly stood up, breathing heavily and with blood in his eyes, "Brother Zhang, how much do you want to pay?"
Zhang Dimao laughed and clapped his hands, and immediately two people came from behind, carrying a heavy wooden box and placed it in front of Zhang Dimao.
Zhang Dimao took out a key from his arms, opened the lock, and opened the lid of the box. Suddenly, the light of gold and silver dazzled people's eyes!
The place was completely silent, except for the sounds of gulping and swallowing.
"Pa!" Zhang Dimao closed the box again.
The people nearby clearly had the urge to rush forward. Their bloody eyes met Zhang Dimao, and then they saw the people behind Zhang Dimao touching knives. They suddenly woke up, and then the ferocious look on their faces changed.
It became a smile that pleases...
"Divide into two groups! Do light work in one group and take small portions. There is no need to kill people, and there is no need to fight against the soldiers in the city. Just use your usual rogue skills to stir up trouble! You can find any reason.
Come on, even if you say that someone is fucking playing with you and cheating you out of the house without giving you money! Make a big fuss! Smash the stalls and burn them down. Whatever you can get, it’s yours! But don’t get carried away.
Go to the north of the city! Just south of the city and east of the city! Don’t blame me for not making it clear!』
"The other group, those who are good at water and dare to take action, will take the big share! When chaos breaks out in the city and the soldiers on the water gate leave, they will obey a certain order... to win out a rich man!"
Everyone present had drunk a lot of wine. Their blood was already surging, and they saw a large box of gold and silver. In addition, it was not a rebellion, they were just causing chaos and killing a few people...
Not a big deal!
And the one who killed was a noble person...
It's a bit exciting to think about it. When will I be able to kill a noble person with my own hands? Is the blood of a noble person also red? Does the meat of a noble person smell good?
"Done! Count me in!"
"Fuck you!"
"Brother Zhang, give your orders!"
Making noises and making trouble, taking advantage of the situation and taking advantage of the situation, that idle man dares to say that he has never done it? Murder and arson, that ranger and libertine with blood on his hands has not done it?
