Chapter 278 Dean Dai, who wants to take the card, but the god of righteousness is the Taibao
Why does this magical Taibao have such a domineering and arrogant face no matter when he appears in the original work or when they meet here? Xiao Tang secretly thought in his heart, the first impression is indeed very important. It is no wonder that Jin Shengtan, who is good at Water Margin, commented on Dai Zong
At that time, he bluntly said that he was a middle-class person, and apart from his magical abilities, he was not worth mentioning.
Dai Zong's words and deeds when he first appears in the book and intimidates Song Jiang, the commander of the army, seem to have reflected how he abused his power as the jailer of the two houses and how he squeezed the prisoners of the army in the prison camp in Jiangzhong. In addition, he later became
Song Jiang's cronies were widely criticized, causing many people who loved reading Water Margin in later generations to characterize him as one of the despicable and cruel villains.
But people still need to have some ability to think independently.
The officials who serve in the prison camps at this time are somewhat similar to the reaction of many people in later generations when they heard the word "urban management" for a long time. However, in later generations, the characters of those who were not practitioners of this profession were very bad, because
In their profession, they often have to deal with vulnerable groups. Not only are they prone to using their power to bully the weak, but they are also prone to criticism from public opinion.
However, in the Song Dynasty, the officials in charge of prisons such as prison guards, camp guards, dispatchers, and small prisons had less scruples. For most prisoners with the army, entering the prison camp was like entering the underworld. For example, Cangzhou Prison
The change in the attitude of the police officer in the city camp before and after Lin Chong paid filial piety to him; the insidious methods such as "pot hanging" and "homespun bag" described by prisoners in the Mengzhou prison camp; Cai Fu and Cai Qing in the Daming Prefecture Prison Yard
The brothers received black money from Li Gu, so they planned to get rid of Lu Junyi; Bao Jiejie, who was imprisoned in Dengzhou, was bribed by Mao Taigong in an attempt to assassinate Jie Zhen. The two Jie Bao brothers... except for the two prison hospitals
Suo Yangxiong once rescued Shi Qian and Du Xing, Tie Jingzi Le and Gu Nian encouraged Sister Gu through their family ties, and Sun Li and others robbed the prison to rescue the Jie brothers. Whenever it came to the prison camp, the officials in the prison basically asked for money.
Money kills.
Of course, Dai Zong could not be a sage who emerged from the mud and remained untouched. After being exposed to the environment for a long time, his behavior would naturally be like that of most officials in the prison camp. However, in the book, Song Jiang was trying to get the chance to be alone with Dai Zong, so he deliberately visited Jiangzhou Prison City.
They checked all over the camp, but Dai Zong was the only one who missed him. When Dai Zong scolded Song Jiang, he was ridiculed by him, saying that Dai Zong was "such a young prime minister". Being together in the prison camp, his subordinates all benefited, and he
But when he was ridiculed in public by his subordinates, how could Dai Zong not let go of his cruel words when he was extremely angry, but planned to punish Song Jiang severely?
But if Dai Zong really wanted to seek a higher position of power and power, he could have clung to the thigh of Cai Jiu, the son of the powerful Prime Minister Cai Jing, and testified that when Song Jiang was captured, he had an affair with a strong man in Liangshan, instead of risking his position and his life.
He went out of his way to rescue Song Jiang, but was sentenced to beheading along with Song Jiang afterwards. Another point worthy of consideration is: except for Wu Song, Li Jun and other monks and malingering leaders, Dai Zong is the best among all Liangshan heroes who survived.
He was a man who returned his official title and retired to become a monk.
To the Qin State, Bai Qi, the God of Killing, was a famous general with great merit, but to the Zhao State, he was also a cruel butcher who killed 400,000 prisoners of war; the image of Zhang Fei in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was to Liu Bei and Guan Yu
To him, he was a loyal brother who had an acquaintance with others, but to Zhang Fei's subordinates, he was a ferocious superior who often got drunk and whipped his subordinates. Similarly, Dai Zong was also like to the troops in the prison camp.
Other managers in charge of the camp have such ruthless and vicious officials, but to the brothers who share the same loyalty in the rivers and lakes, this magical Taibao is also a man with deep loyalty.
Therefore, Xiao Tang's evaluation of Dai Zong is: This person has character flaws, but when he makes friends with him and uses him, Dai Zong can also be trusted.
At this time, Dai Zong saw Xiao Tang only looking at him but not answering. He became even more angry. He picked up a messaging stick from the side and started to hit Xiao Tang.
When the dispatch officer in the prison camp saw it, he was afraid that Dai Zong would come to question him, so he turned around and ran out of the viewing hall. Shi Xiu, Zhang Shun and others were immediately furious. When they were about to come up to argue with Dai Zong, they were stopped. Xiao Tang stopped him. Xiao Tang stretched out his hand and grabbed Dai Zong's wrist holding the interrogation stick. He chuckled and said, "You, the dean, are so arrogant! I'm not your subordinate, why do you beat me?"
Dai Zong suddenly felt as if his wrist was tightly clamped by an iron hoop. He glared and shouted: "In front of the dean of the prison camp, coughing is a sin! How dare you fight back? Aren't you afraid of the king's law?"
Xiao Tang smiled softly and said: "According to the royal law, what crime should be committed if you intend to fight with the imperial official?"
Dai Zong was startled after hearing this. Seeing Xiao Tang's calm and calm look, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, so he asked again: "Who are you?"
Xiao Tang smiled and said: "Xiao Tang, the commander of the Bianjing Palace."
After hearing this, Dai Zong was shocked and turned pale. Just as Xiao Tang let go of his hand, Dai Zong stumbled back a few steps and stood still. He said with doubt on his face: "Are you Xiao Tang and Xiao Renxia? Are you trying to trick me?"
Shi Xiu took a step forward and sneered: "Hey, you are so blind! I'm sorry that you, a mere prison official, dare to be rude to my elder brother!"
When Dai Zong saw how popular Xiao Tang, Yan Qing and Shi Xiu were, he was convinced. Although one of Xiao Tang and him was in Bianjing and the other was in Jiangzhou, Xiao Tang, Xiao Renxia, could be said to be the most popular person in the world. He is a powerful person who came from far away from Shandong and was called Hu Baoyi. No matter whether he is a white man or a black man, with this Xiaotang's momentum, there is no one who can compare with him, the magical Taibao in the world, the prison guard of Jiangzhou. The prison director is many times stronger.
Thinking of this, Dai Zong hurriedly bowed and said, "I was so reckless just now. I insulted Xiao Renxia with my words. Please forgive me!"
Xiao Tang didn't want to embarrass Dai Zong too much, so he helped him up and said, "I have often heard that Dean Dai can walk eight hundred miles in a day, and is praised as a magical Taibao. He is also a very good man who is "righteous and generous". I Xiao Tang Tang wanted to get acquainted with Dean Dai, so he came to visit him during his trip to Jiangzhou."
Dai Zong propped up his smile and replied: "Walking eight hundred miles a day is just some Taoist methods of nourishing qi. When Xiao Ke uses the method of fetal breath luck, he will not be tired from traveling long distances. Xiao Renxia is so praised that he is ashamed. What a shame! I wonder if Xiao Renxia has come straight to Jiangzhou for this trip, what else is he doing?"
Xiao Tang compared his hands with Tang's father and said to Dai Zong: "This Tang doctor is my elder in the capital. He was assigned here because of a lawsuit. I came to Jiangzhou firstly to get acquainted with Dean Dai, and secondly. I came here because I wanted to trouble Dean Dai to take care of Mr. Tang on my behalf."
After hearing this, Dai Zong looked at Tang's father again. At this time, there was no trace of the domineering look on his face. Dai Zong patted his chest again and said: "Xiao Renxia and I are just acquaintances, but you trust Xiao Ke so much! Although Xiao Renxia Don't worry, but as long as I, Dai Zong, am here, I will never let this elder suffer even half a cent!"
It’s true that the world is about whether people are good or bad, and people are different. Dai Zong, who has two faces, changed his attitude like this when he knew my identity... Xiao Tang thought to himself, but I can’t just use my name and name. The official power suppressed him. Since he was very loyal to the heroes, his friendship with him might be of great use in the future.
"In this case, I would like to thank Dean Dai first. It is just a matter of settling Duke Tang. If gold and silver are needed..." Xiao Tang said to Dai Zong again.
Before Xiao Tang could finish what he said, Dai Zong suddenly looked angry and said to Xiao Tang: "What are these words? Xiao Renxia is looking down on me, Dai Zong! It is my duty to take care of Mr. Tang, how can I do it?" What silver!?”
Xiao Tang: "..."
Xiao Tang introduced Yan Qing, Shi Xiu, and Zhang Shun to Dai Zong. After arguing with him, Dai Zong kindly invited Xiao Tang and others to have a drink at Xunyang Tower, the most famous restaurant in Jiangzhou. Seeing Dai Zong being arrogant and respectful, Tang's father knew that he would have to rely on this prison guard for his future life in the prison camp. However, Tang's father, who was upright and conscientious by nature, was already a little unhappy with him, so he said that he had been tired all the way. , I want to take a rest early.
Xiao Tang, Dai Zong and others could not be persuaded, so Dai Zong ordered a young prisoner to find a private room in the prison camp to wait for Tang's father to rest. When Xiao Tang, Dai Zong, Tang's father and others just walked out of the viewing hall, they were surprised. Hearing a commotion, a dark and rough man rushed into the prison camp. Several other prisoners saw it and hurriedly hid aside, for fear of provoking him.
Xiao Tang saw that the rough man was as thick as a black bear, and as naughty as an iron bull. He had red and yellow eyebrows, and his eyes were messy with red silk. He was moved in his heart and secretly said: You are indeed here too.
Dai Zong saw that the rude man had a gloomy face and was just stepping forward with curses in his mouth. He was afraid that the rude man would cause trouble for him at this critical moment, so he couldn't help but mutter to himself: "This black guy is making trouble again! It's causing me pain."
After Dai Zong read it, he took two steps forward and said loudly to the rude man: "Why are you such a slut? Did you go to play money again and lose?"
The rude man raised his head and saw Dai Zong. He glared and shouted, "Brother Jiexi, don't make fun of me! Unfortunately, I have lost six or seven pieces of money. Brother Jiexi, do you have some silver that I can use to redeem it?"
Dai Zong waved his hand to shoo away the wild man like a fly, and snorted: "You must still bet! Where can I get the money to lend you?"
The rude man turned his head and complained: "In the past, you were fattened by regular meals, so why don't you lend me any money? If you don't lend me, I'll just ask for it myself!"
While he was talking, the reckless man saw Father Tang walking side by side with Dai Zong wearing a golden seal on his face. He guessed Father Tang's identity, so he walked up to Father Tang and raised his palm as big as a leaf fan to Father Tang. Zhang said in a naive voice: "Bring it here!"
Tang's father was startled by this fierce and rough-looking man, and asked directly: "What did you bring?"
The big black man's eyes widened and he shouted: "You old man! You have money to bribe my brother, why don't you give it to me!? You only look at my brother's face as the prison dean, and you look down on me, Tieniu." Small prison!?"
After saying that, the big black man grabbed Tang's father by the collar, raised his fist as big as a casserole, and was about to hit him!
