Chapter 484 Who is it? Even more powerful than the leader Fang La?
After listening to Shi Bao's question, Mei Zhan let out a long sigh and said, "My nephew, are you still complaining to me because I accepted the court's recruitment?"
Shi Bao shook his head and grinned: "Uncle, we all knew very well back then why you killed the public servants and led a group of brothers to live in the Wuyi Mountains. When the imperial court repeatedly attacked us in Wuyi Mountains and failed, they proposed to recruit us. , after the grievances of the Mei family were mentioned above, those bullies who had harmed you were either executed or exiled, let alone those colluding dog officials, and then they agreed to submit to the government. The reason why Uncle Shi fell into the grass that year was because he was framed by traitors, and he was recruited for the sake of peace. To redress the injustice of the family, not to mention that the foundation of Wuyi Mountain was created by Xun alone. Therefore, my father will never bear any grudge against you for this matter. What can my nephew have to complain about?
However, my father and I are born thieves and have never paid attention to those high-ranking officials. Wuyi Mountain was also conquered by several uncles. It should be noted that in order to preserve the hard work left back then, my nephew can He often did the business of licking the blood from the knife. Now that he has been recruited as an official, we are no longer the same people. Now he said that he punished a dandy in the capital, and he hated the third man named Gao Qiu. The Yamen Taiwei gave up his official position and returned here, but instead encouraged his nephew to go north to join an unknown bird man. What's the point of this?"
"It's just a cottage, what's it worth?"
As Mei Zhan spoke, he felt wistfully, as if he was recalling the days when he had a big bowl of wine with his brothers in the Luocao Mountain Forest and shared the money on a big scale. It can be said that it is the largest village in the green forest of Liangzhe Road and Fujian Road, but so what? I still can't avenge the blood sea. Besides, I also heard that your skills, my nephew, have already surpassed your father's, and now you are considered a murderer. You are invincible in the green forests of Fujian. With your extravagant skills, are you really willing to just sit on a mountain and waste your whole life?"
"Otherwise, what can we do? If we don't mow the grass here, will we go to the state capital to cut off the heads of some bird officials for fun? My uncle was still a high-ranking official in the court at that time. What if my nephew gets into trouble? Aren’t we trying to provoke you to destroy this Wuyi Mountain stronghold where you fell into disrepair?”
Shi Bao laughed, paused again, and then said: "But when my uncle said this, my nephew remembered something. The Mingjiao (the name of Manichaeism in the Song Dynasty) in Qingxi County, Muzhou, Liangzhe Road Many nicknames, such as Manichaeism in Zhejiang, Mingjiao in Fujian, Jiedi Zhai, Vajra Zen in Jiangxi, etc.) The leader of the sect, Fang La, once sent a great monk named Deng Yuanjue called "Baoguang Tathagata" to the village to look for me. , wanted to recruit me to join them to do something big. However, I heard that the Manichaean cult was about eating vegetables and serving demons, and respected the Ming Envoy. However, my nephew was a drunkard, and he disliked the followers of the group for doing evil things, so he sent him away. That guy is gone.
However, I heard that the Ming Cult has a large number of followers, including traffickers, gangsters, gangsters, and even officials. Leader Fangla is now regarded as a leading figure in the green forests south of the Yangtze River in the Song Dynasty. I really want to When the wind-splitting knife in the teacher's hand becomes profitable, it might as well go to him to join his gang... Since my uncle has no official status now, my nephew also believes that Xie is still a moral person, so these things are of great importance to him. Uncle mentioned it, so it doesn’t matter."
After hearing this, Mei Zhan shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, doctrines have been used to confuse people's minds and cause trouble. There are many ambitious people, but can any of them succeed? Just talk about Manichaeism. During the Five Dynasties, There were believers Wu Yi, Dong Yi and others who rallied the masses to rebel against the Liang Dynasty, saying that they were respecting the Ming envoys, but in the end they were just trying to live up to the emperor's addiction, but they were quickly suppressed by the government... Nowadays, the Manichaeans If you form a secret association and avoid public attention, you are afraid that sooner or later there will be chaos. Fang La may also use the guise of Manichaeism to separate one party and establish himself as an emperor. The harm of such a person is probably greater than that of corrupting officials. Even if my nephew wants to fulfill his ambition, why should he join Manichaeism?"
The grass stem held in his mouth shook a few times, Shi Bao raised the corner of his mouth and said: "But the person uncle mentioned is even more mysterious than the Manichae. I just said that guy is The co-owner of Green Forest and Mountains, he is also a very extravagant and secretive person in official life, but he refuses to reveal his name to his nephew.
If that guy is also a person who eats the royal food, but secretly woos strong men in the green forest and recruits troops, then doesn't he also have the intention of ceding territory for rebellion? How is he different from Fang La of Manichaeism? My nephew is a straight-tempered person. Why should I have any friendship with those bastards who hide their heads and show their tails? Fang La can let me know his name at least. He is also one of the best in the Jiangnan area. Even if he wants to be the emperor, I will accompany him to play, and he will turn the world upside down. How?"
Mei Zhan smiled coldly and said: "Even if Fang La is one of the best people in the green forest in the south of the Yangtze River, the person I am talking about, I am afraid that if you look at the powerful people from all over the world in the Song Dynasty, no one can compare with him! It's just a matter of great importance. After my nephew sees him, he will naturally understand why that person acts so secretly... Not to mention that Fang La's attempt to win over the people in the green forest is, in my opinion, at best like Wu Yi, Dong Yi and other Manichaeans who can only stay in the south of the Yangtze River. There is chaos in one corner.
The person I am talking about is not only a gangster who controls the Green Forest of the Song Dynasty, nor is he a traitor and traitor who wants to rebel and proclaim himself emperor. There are also many people in the Green Forest who are framed by traitors and have no choice but to act as strongmen. He is a loyal and martyr, but he has the ability to unite with many heroes for justice, punish rape and hoe violence. Now he has even joined forces with other heroes to open up territory and expand the territory. He can compete with the various tribes in the North. Anyone who is really seeking a way out in the green forest , either commit murder, arson, and rob homes, or he would be willing to cut himself off and openly rebel against the imperial court, but the major events he planned were completely different."
Shi Bao was slightly moved, and his curiosity was gradually aroused. Shi Bao knew that Mei Zhan had a restrained and calm temperament, and was by no means a person who made random lies. Since he could be so highly praised by Mei Zhan, he even said that Fang La was admired by all the green forest heroes in the south of the Yangtze River. The Manichaean leader is not far behind him... So who is that person?
At this time, Jade Claw Long Chenggui who was on the side couldn't help but said: "After all, Uncle Shi is our uncle's sworn brother, and he was the head of Wuyi Mountain's village at that time. We brothers also believe in him! If there is such a thing in the world, Hero, we are also happy to sell our lives to him!"
Shi Bao laughed and said to Cheng Gui: "Are you the son of Third Uncle Cheng? Don't regard your life as so worthless. You still don't know where that guy came from. Loyalty in the world is not something that can be said in this way." !”
After Shi Bao said that, he turned to look at Mei Zhan and said leisurely: "But I believe that uncle will never harm my nephew, and I am willing to let you go. But uncle, don't get me wrong, I don't intend to go The person who went to the hiding place said that there are many green forest heroes in Hebei and Shandong. My nephew would like to see them and let those people from the north know how powerful our Jiangnan green forest heroes are. As for the person that the uncle mentioned, there are always I have to go and meet him in person to see what abilities he has that can convince Mei Dalang Xie so much, but if you want me, Shi Bao, to be convinced, that person must also have some real abilities!"
