Chapter 271 Generous words to Li Jun. Overkill, the wrong way to open Water Margin
(Thanks to qq reading hero Chuhe for the reward...)
If Zhang Heng's usual unconvincing personality were to be followed, even though he admired Li Jun, he might not be able to shamelessly act under this fellow Jieyang Three Hegemons. But now he sees that even his own younger brother doesn't like his behavior.
Dealing with the world made Zhang Heng feel a little unmotivated and unable to cheer up.
What's more, Zhang Heng knew that Li Jun also had good intentions, and within a few years, this river dragon's prestige in the green forests of Jiangzhou was rising steadily. He was good at sailing and swimming, so he could help Li Jun in private salt water transportation.
Zhang Heng also knew that continuing the business of blocking rivers, killing people and robbing people would ruin the good futures of his mother and brother Zhang Shun, but of course he was not willing to just be a ferryman for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hengheng raised his hand to Li Jun and said: "Thank you, Brother Li, for the compliment. I, Zhang Heng, am deeply grateful. When brother Li Jun wants to do business, he also knows where to find me. Brother, I'll take my leave first."
.”
Zhang Heng turned around and said to Zhang Shun: "I will take care of my mother for a while longer. When you come back from Jiangzhou, I will lend her to you." After saying that, Zhang Heng turned around and left. Now he has nothing left.
His face remained here for a moment longer. Seeing his brother's leaving figure looking extremely lonely and desolate, Zhang Shun couldn't bear it and let out a long sigh.
Li Jun then ordered his brothers to bring some dry clothes, and asked Tang's father and two gentlemen to change their soaked clothes and dry them. At this time, he brought a jar of good wine, sat on the ground facing Xiao Tang, and said
: "This is Jiangzhou's specialty sealed vat old wine. Li would like to have a drink with Xiao Renxia."
Xiao Tang also bowed his hand to Li Junyi and said, "Since Mr. Li has this intention, I should accompany him."
Li Jun smiled heartily and introduced Tong Wei to Xiao Tang. After the two brothers Tong Meng opened the seal of the wine jar, he filled it with Xiao Tang, Yan Qing and Shi Xiu and drank.
And finished.
"Li Mou has always been very good at judging people." After some conversation, Li Jun suddenly said: "To be honest, although Xiao Renxiao is a national salary and is an official of the imperial court, Li Mou is not a high-ranking official.
A young boy who behaves with a wink. I once heard that Xiao Renxia was originally a wealthy young master from Xiaojiaji, Zongcheng County, East Road, Hebei Province. Later, he acted righteously to save an orphan who was exterminated by the powerful and was framed. However, Xiao Renxia was obliged to do so.
He sent an orphan away thousands of miles away, and then killed his enemy's culprit in the downtown area of Daming Mansion. This act of righteousness surpassed that of the Zhou Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and the founder of the Song Dynasty. After hearing this, Li wanted to praise Xiao Renxia as a good man!
Later, Li heard that Xiao Renxia had risen to prominence in the officialdom, and now he was in the capital and became a palace commander. This was somewhat beyond Li's expectation. After all, the court broke its promise, treacherous ministers took power, and blocked the path of virtuous people. I thought it seemed like this
People like Xiao Renxia can't get along with those abusive dog officials, but according to the facts, Li also knows that Xiao Renxia is a friend worth making."
Xiao Tang just smiled slightly when he heard this, and then replied: "Master Li is exaggerating, but he also knows that among the strong men who gathered in the mountains and forests, many of them scolded the imperial court for being stupid and forcing good people to become thieves, but they said they were capable of killing.
The activities of the rich helping the poor are under the banner of doing justice for heaven, but how many of them are killing good people and harming the evil people in the village? Even the sincere and loyal people in the wilderness can only occupy a piece of land and kill a few bullies and corrupt officials.
, how can we really do justice for this world?
Looking at the whole world only in the Jianghu, the vision is too narrow. Mr. Li Da does not really think that by being famous in the green forest, he can kill all the traitors in the court and restore the country and the country to a bright and prosperous world, right? Even though I am a low-ranking official Sitting in the court, but if it is really necessary to do something, I, Xiao Tang, will naturally still be the same person who dared to cut myself off and could happily eliminate violence."
Although Xiao Tang couldn't explain his overall plan to Li Jun now, he knew very well who Li Jun was, so he didn't mind revealing some of his intentions in his words. Li Jun's expression changed, and then he shouted loudly He smiled and said: "Wandering around the five lakes is free, and the market is carefree and leisurely! Li is just a rough and reckless man wandering around in the rivers and lakes. Of course, he can't see the long term as well as Xiao Renxia, but really wait until Xiao Renxia does something big that will shock the world. At this time, I, Li Jun, am also willing to do my little bit so that I can live my life as a man in this world!"
There are some words that don’t need to be said clearly. Other Jianghu Cao Mang can’t hear the clues, but Li Jun can hear them. This Hunjianglong knows what he should do at all times. When Song Jiang was in danger on his way to Jiangzhou, Li Jun He saved Song Jiang's life twice, because he was very aware of Song Jiang's influence in the world. Later, he changed his life because of this, from just a salt owl seeking a way out of Jieyang, Jiangzhou, to the largest cottage in the green forest. The leader of the navy.
Later, Li Jun conquered the Tianhu River to irrigate Taiyuan City, and led the Liang Shanshui Army to fight against Wang Qing in the Qutang Gorge, killing the commander-in-chief of the puppet Chu Navy Army. He not only captured several counties and even captured the thief Wang Qing alive. Although with his outstanding army commanding ability, He made great military exploits, but he also realized that the imperial court intended to divide the forces of Liangshan. The powerful traitors in the court were ready to harm the heroes of Liangshan. Therefore, before the crusade against Fang La, he, the leader of the navy, encouraged the heroic and unruly three heroes of the Ruan family. The rude and stubborn Zhang Heng and others persuaded Wu Yong to return to Liangshan and Luocao.
But of course Song Jiang, who was loyal to the imperial court at that time, refused, so Li Jun chose to feign illness and refuse the imperial reward after his last campaign for Liangshan, and went to sea to establish himself as king. Facts have proved that every decision Li Jun made was extremely correct, so in Liangshan's one hundred and eight generals had the best ending.
At this time, I heard Li Jun say again: "Xiao Renxia is a hero who punishes rape and eliminates evil without mercy. Not only is Li willing to conspire with Xiao Renxia, but also the two brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng beside me... ...and my brother Li Li has also admired Xiao Renxia for a long time. Although my brother Li Li acted a bit too much and also clashed with brother Yan Qing, at least he did not create a bigger problem. Li also stood up for My brother will accuse Xiao Renxia, and everyone will put aside their previous suspicions and talk to each other, wouldn't it be a good thing?"
Finally, let’s talk about this... Although Li Jun, the tycoon in the water, is one of the best in a hundred, what is even more valuable is that whether he helps you plan a big plan or you can trust him when acting under him, Xiao Tang But he still said: "Since Mr. Li is so quick to talk, I, Xiao Tang, do not intend to lie to you. It is not just a little excessive to urge Judge Li Lin to do something? Although I know that Mr. Li intends to protect him, it is like that kind of thing. If anyone is caught by me, I will definitely get rid of this unscrupulous scourge!"
Li Jun's face condensed. He thought that after having a heart-to-heart talk with Xiao Tang, the other party would sell his face and not kill Li Li, but he didn't expect Xiao Tang to be so insistent. He pondered for a while and then said: "Although Li doesn't read much, he also knows the truth behind the saying, 'No one can bear the evil, no one can bear it.' There are many people out there, and I, Li Jun, am definitely not the only one in the world who has the duty to save his life when his brother is in trouble. Instead of talking about "benevolence" with green forest heroes, it is better to talk about "righteousness" with them. Although Xiao Renxia is a chivalrous person. People are not used to some professions on the road, but they offend many good men just for one righteous act. Isn't this not worth the gain?
It is not unusual for men in the green forest to tuck their heads in their trousers and fight for food. It is not uncommon for them to act ruthlessly. Yes, many people despised Li Li's method of opening a black shop to exploit passers-by, and now Li has also advised him to do so.
My brother has changed his profession, so why bother taking his life? Since Xiao Renxia is a man who wants to do great things, he should know that those who do great things do not stick to trivial matters."
Li Jun's eloquence is indeed good. The words he said about how evil one can do to others are worthy of others were comments made by Guan Zhong, the famous prime minister of the state of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period of the pre-Qin Dynasty, about his close friend Bao Shuya. Although Bao Shuya was also talented in governing the country, he was an innocent and honest man.
Minister, but because he is too pure and honest, he can't help but disdain to be associated with young people, and he will never forget the mistakes of others when he hears about them. Therefore, his temperament is too limited to do big things.
To be honest, most of Li Jun's words are agreed by Xiao and Tang. Human nature is complex. If you focus on the flaws in everyone's character, I'm afraid there will be no one available in the world. There are too many characters on Liangshan who have two sides: Mu Hong is violent and violent without any cover.
Domineering, but upholding justice; Dai Zong, the powerful Taibao, squeezed his troops, but was willing to risk losing his official position and execution to save Song Jiang; Golden-Eyed Biao showed kindness and occupied Happy Forest, but later tried every possible means to protect him
The thoughtfulness of benefactor Wu Song... There are many such characters. If the shortcomings of each of them are infinitely magnified, Xiao Tang will not be able to achieve anything great in the green forest.
If Xiao Tang went too far in looking at the characters in Water Margin, as many people did, then the one hundred and eight on Liangshan Mountain were either happy-go-lucky heroes who showed off their wrath, or they were just bandits and hooligans who harmed the common people. Since he is now
Having come to this world to get along with these flesh-and-blood Water Margin people, there is no point in covering up their evil deeds or deliberately slandering any character.
It’s just that everyone can tolerate it, like Yan Shun, Wang Ying, Li Li, Zhu Gui and others. For Xiao Tang, these actions are beyond human nature, but scum with low moral standards cannot be tolerated. Although there are green trees in the green forest now.
Regarding morality and rules, Xiao Tang still had his own principles and bottom lines. He shook his head and said decisively: "Human ethics and nature are the main road, so where are the trivial matters!? Not only is Li Li's killing like child's play, but he also kills people.
Zuojian has wasted his life in vain! Although I know that people in the world value congeniality, I have only hatred and no justice for these scum!"
Seeing Xiao Tang's insistence, Li Jun could only sigh and said: "It's a pity that you are determined to kill my brother, but Li is determined to protect my brother! It seems that we can't reach an agreement on this matter."
After that, Li Jun stood up and said: "That's all, I'm not speculating, and this wine won't taste good if you drink it! Of course, Li won't let you find my brother Li Li, but it doesn't affect Li's admiration.
Xiao Renxia is a good person, but in the Jiangzhou area, as long as Xiao Renxia comes to me for something, just say anything, and Li will never refuse!"
