Chapter 96: Meng Rang, it's so hard to wait for you
There is a saying in "The Doctrine of the Mean": "The stream of small virtues flows, and the great virtues are transformed."
Kong Yingda, a scholar at the Tiance Mansion Literature Museum, explained this: "If the princes' small virtues are used to describe it, it is like the flow of water infiltrating the sprout; if it is used to describe the emperor's great virtue, benevolence and sincerity will transform all things.
"
Dunhua is a good word and a very common place name. A thousand years later, places called Dunhua can be found all over the country.
But Dunhuafang in Chang'an City during the Wude Period was not a good place...
Because it is close to Leyouyuan and Qujiang Pool, it is vast and sparsely populated. Coupled with the ravages of the chaos in the late Sui Dynasty, the population of Chang'an City has decreased significantly. As a result, Dunhuafang, which is on the edge of Chang'an City, can now be said to be full of abandoned houses.
.
At night, the entire Dunhuafang is dotted with ghost fires and buzzing foxes, which is very scary.
Coupled with the fact that some miserable corpses would appear in various abandoned houses in Dunhuafang every now and then, this made the whole Chang'an people talk about Dunhuafang with a change of heart. Rumors spread about Dunhuafang and exaggerated it.
It has become a magical cave on earth, a paradise for monsters.
But according to a local fox, there are actually monsters in Dunhuafang, but not many. And the most important thing is that most of the monsters in Dunhuafang are good people who support themselves, are harmless to others, and abide by the law.
Those who really created rumors to scare the citizens of Chang'an, making them think that Dunhuafang was full of man-eating monsters, and thus fearing Dunhuafang, were actually some human beings who used the abandoned houses here as their nests and did some immoral things.
For example, some gangs of thieves, some gangs of beggars, some gangs of liars, etc...
"Humans are so bad. They do bad things and blame us monsters for it."
As a local snake in Chang'an City, Monk Fazheng, who was able to skillfully take care of people when Chang'an was still called Daxing City, allowing the wanted man Zhishilang Wangbo to enter and leave smoothly, was naturally no stranger to Dunhuafang.
After a sound of churning carriages, Monk Fazheng took Kadazhi to the door of an abandoned house in Dunhuafang.
"General Koda..."
Fazheng shook his sore butt, got off the carriage, and pointed at the dilapidated mansion in front of him. "This was Wang Bo's stronghold in Daxing City back then. The poor monk believes that there should be something hidden inside now."
With some of Wang Bo’s gang members.”
Kakashi rolled his legs, jumped off the horse neatly, put his hands behind his hands and looked at the abandoned house in front of him, and said thoughtfully.
"Monk Fazheng, are you sure that the people living here are Wang Bo's gang members?"
"certainly!"
Monk Fazheng put his hands together and said decisively.
"They are Wang Bo's followers!"
Then, Monk Fazheng changed his tone and spoke softly.
"But I believe you, General Ke Ke, also know that Wang Bo's gang members were all strong men who followed him to fight thousands of miles, and they were very fierce. So when we arrest him, we must not be merciful and must be ruthless.
hand……"
"That's it!"
Kakazhi turned to look at Monk Fazheng, smiling very strangely.
"Then if everyone is killed, how can a certain family prove to General Dou that they are Wang Bo's accomplices?"
"Evidence is something you can always find if you look for it."
Monk Fazheng still put his hands together and said in a profound tone.
"After all, Wang Bo's gang has been operating here for many years, so it's impossible that they didn't leave any clues. And when we came out, the monk's senior monk, the great monk Faya, also asked me to tell General Koda that you should let it go, and he will definitely help.
You asked General Dou for credit."
After hearing what Monk Fazheng said, Ke Kezhi's smile became even weirder.
"Let someone let go?"
Monk Fazheng nodded and answered affirmatively, "Let it go!"
"Hahaha……"
Kakashi suddenly burst out laughing, and then he quickly drew out his sword and pointed towards the mansion.
"Then let us let it go, Fa Zheng, let your people follow a certain..."
"Actually, General Koda can hold the battle with the poor monk from behind..."
Monk Fazheng clasped his hands together and said to Kada Zhi with a righteous expression.
"The poor monk is willing to send his warrior monks to lead the battle, lest General Koda fall into an ambush by Wang Bo's gang!"
"No need..."
Kakashi held a long knife in his hand, lowered his body, took two steps, jumped up, and flipped his hand over the wall a little, and he had already crossed over easily.
"Just let your people follow me."
Seeing the back of Kak Zhi climbing over the wall, Monk Fazheng's face quickly darkened. He turned to the monks beside him and said, "Don't be soft-hearted after you follow up, just make a killing move."
"clear!"
Several muscular monks standing behind him nodded towards Fazheng.
It's just a frame-up for murder. They are familiar with this matter.
I remember that when they followed Meng Rang and Meng Honglei to start the uprising in Shandong, they had never done anything more outrageous than this, let alone murder and frame-up.
After seeing that his confidants all understood what he meant, Fazheng waved his hand. The monks immediately followed Kakazhi's footsteps and climbed over the wall one by one. In the end, even Fazheng
He was also helped by the monks to climb over the wall.
After it was hard for Fa to climb in, Kakashi had already walked around the garden.
"The target has been found,"
After seeing them come in, Kakazhi clapped his hands and pointed to a courtyard on the side of the garden that looked no different from other courtyards. "This garden only has traces of human activity in this area."
"General Kodak really has a keen eye,"
Fazheng raised his hand and gave a thumbs up to Ke Zhi. "You can see through the thief's lair at a glance."
"hehe……"
Ke Kezhi smiled strangely. "That's really flattering, Monk Fazheng. Now let your people follow me. Let's get rid of these 'Wang Bo's gangsters' as soon as possible."
When talking about Wang Bo's party members, Kakazhi's tone was deliberately a little more serious and his tone was mocking.
"clear!"
Monk Fazheng pretended not to understand Kakzhi's words at all, turned around and said to the other monks.
"Follow General Ke Ke and rush in to deal with Wang Bo's henchmen. Remember, don't show mercy."
"hehe……"
After a sneer, Kakazhi rushed into the side courtyard with a long knife in hand, kicked open the door of the house with a flying kick, and rushed in at the lead. The monks followed him with sticks in hand, and finally slowly
Monk Fa Zheng walked in slowly.
Because the windows were not open, the room was very dark, and the only source of light was a candle lit on a strange candlestick placed at the end of the room.
Under the dim light of the candle, you can see that there are many sundries and wooden boxes piled messily around the house, and there is a strange smell floating in the air, which seems to be after being damp and dried.
Monk Fazheng originally had the impression that this house should be home to a group of thieves who were out at night. However, when he walked in, he discovered that the thieves who were supposed to be in the house were all gone.
In the entire room, only a figure sitting under a candlestick could be seen dimly behind the wooden box.
After Fazheng entered the room, the figure sitting under the candlestick slowly stood up. He was tall and had a long knife at his waist. He slowly turned around, his face in the light of the candle.
Faintly appearing and disappearing underneath.
"Meng Rang, someone's good brother,"
The man raised his head and grinned at Monk Fazheng who walked in. His white teeth looked like those of a ghost.
"It's been so hard waiting for you..."
"Wang Bo!"
After seeing this man, Fazheng immediately let out a cry of surprise and took a step back involuntarily.
"How will you be here……"
"He is here. Isn't it you, a good brother, who sent a message to me, saying that he would bring a Yuan Cong Imperial Guard to avenge him?"
Under the light, Wang Bo's face flickered, like a ghost.
"Now that the Yuancong Imperial Guard has been surrounded by us, you no longer need to pretend."
After hearing Wang Bo's words, Kadazhi took a step to the side as a conditioned reflex, then turned his body and placed the Huanshou knife in his hand across his chest.
In the corner behind Kakashi, a beautiful little cat raised its paws and yawned lazily. Next to the little cat, there was a white one, which was opened.
Bottle with lid.
"General Koda, don't listen to this traitor's instigation!"
After seeing Ke Ke Zhi's somewhat alert movements, Monk Fazheng immediately raised his hand and explained, "We have nothing to do with this traitor. We are just here to assist you, General Ke Ke, in capturing him..."
"if it is like this,"
Kakashi waved the ring-headed sword in the direction of Wang Bo and said to Monk Fazheng.
"Then let your monks catch Wang Bo and prove his innocence."
"good!"
Fazheng agreed, and then said to the monks standing in front of him.
"Go ahead and capture the traitor Wang Bo..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw all the monks coughing, tears streaming down their faces, and their bodies falling down softly.
