Chapter 533 Selective ignorance, who is whitewashing?
Zhai Yuan never expected that Xiao Tang would ask this question. He was stunned when he saw this, and replied in a daze: "This...there are indeed some comrades in the green forest who are good at intimidating others with such despicable methods.
However, there are also some good guys who just use a pretense to intimidate outsiders, but they may not really be able to eat people's hearts and minds. I have only heard that the Taihu Four are more ruthless, and I don't know if they are really good at this, or they are just putting on a show to be easy to teach.
No one else dares to tease her."
Xiao Tang snorted coldly, and then said: "If Fei Bao, Di Cheng and others are really cruel people who cut their hearts and livers and eat them with wine, I will never get together with such crazy people.
Righteous, if we really bump into each other, we will definitely kill that group of people with one sword! There are countless wise and brave people who walk and sit upright in the green forest, and there is no shortage of these four!"
Except for Mei Zhanzhan who looked at Xiao Tang and nodded with an expression of appreciation, Shi Bao, Cheng Gui, Zhai Yuan and others looked at each other. They didn't expect Xiao Tang's reaction to be so big, and to Xiao Tang's reaction so much.
The attitude response was just noncommittal.
If it were Shi Bao and others, they would definitely not engage in the evil act of cannibalism, such as eating human hearts and livers, and they would also look down on the people in the green forest who do this. But if those people are of great use and can help each other, then
It's another matter. After all, those who hang out in the green forest are mostly ruthless people who lick blood from the knife's edge and are accustomed to life-threatening business. It is also very common for the more violent among them to establish their prestige by such evil deeds.
What's more, if you capture an enemy who has a blood feud with your brother, cut him into pieces, dig out his belly and heart, or even eat his flesh to vent his anger, this is also a common "ritual" in the world (for example, after Song Jiang captured Huang Wenbing,
Li Kui used a sharp knife to cut off his legs first, picked out the meat, and grilled it in front of the charcoal fire to drink wine. He cut off one piece and then grilled it. After cutting the meat, he cut open his chest and took out the heart and liver to make hangover soup...
) Since this is a common behavior in the world, and Xiao Renxia wants to recruit green forest heroes, why should he react so loudly?
Xiao Tang looked at the expressions of Qing Shibao, Zhejiang Silong and others. He sighed and said: "Brothers, you also know that I have visited several cottages and gathered with the green forest heroes for the purpose of getting rid of corrupt officials and bullies.
In the name of heaven, all the brothers who are willing to join me in friendship are trapped in the green forest, but they are also loyal and upright people. Now, no matter how many cottages are criticized by the people, how can I allow a few mouse droppings?
, ruining the reputation of our brothers?"
People present like Wu Song, Shi Xiu, Hua Rong, Xu Guanzhong and others knew that when Xiao Tang married people from the Jianghu, they were sworn brothers. The moral bottom line in their brother's heart, and Xiao Tang's principles of life, had never been
Been shaken.
Just like in the wilderness near the market town in Gaizhou, Xiao Tang listened to the begging of Sun Yuan, a kind-hearted Shanyaksha who was about to die, but if he found out about Sun Erniang, Zhang Qing would
Even if he only half thought about leaving the black shop and making human meat buns, Xiao Tang would not show any mercy at once and would kill them both. Then Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing surrendered to Xiao Mansion, Mengzhou's
That creepy black shop would no longer appear on the cross slope, and passers-by would no longer become victims of unjust deaths. Therefore, Xiao Tang still believes that accepting Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing into the gang is the most appropriate way to deal with it.
Near Jieyang Ridge, Hun Jianglong Li Jun, who had admired Xiao Tang's reputation for a long time, had already begun to form a sworn alliance with him, just because Xiao Tang was determined to kill Li Li, the judge who set up a human flesh workshop, but Li Jun was determined to protect him. , so although the two of them had some cooperation in Jiangzhou, in the end Xiao Tang still missed Li Jun, the one-of-a-kind navy general in the green forest...
Xiao Tang also knew that capable ministers and good generals may not all be moral models, and everyone has their own character flaws. For example, in the late Yuan Dynasty, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang and made great military exploits. He was rampant in the world and was known as Chang Shiwan in the army. Chang Yuchun was easy to kill and surrender. , but even if Xiao Tang could meet a more brutal general who could match Chang Yuchun's sixth or seventh level of ability, he would be busy trying to find ways to recruit him into his group. However, the lustful evil spirits on the green forest road cannibalize their own kind. There are many cruel people whose evil deeds have reached the level of anti-society and anti-humanity, and Xiao Tang will never be able to spare them.
The four people mentioned by Zhai Yuan, such as Di Cheng, and Zhu Gui of Dry Land, who cut human flesh into pieces in Liangshan Bozhong and fried the fat meat in oil for lighting lamps, were also those whom Xiao Tang planned to kill in order to eliminate harm for the people. The strange thing is that Xiao Tang also read some Water Margin fan novels in later generations, or when discussing on forums, many people were used to criticizing Sun Erniang, Yan Shun, Li Li, Wang Ying and others, while at the same time criticizing Taihu The Four Heroes, Zhu Gui and other figures praised each other, and here they became famous for killing murderers and bullies, but there they selectively ignored and confided in other cannibalistic villains and became brothers...
At least Xiao Tang would never do something that was self-contradictory and even bordering on split personality.
After some conversation, Shi Bao, Cheng Gui, Xie Fu, Zhai Yuan, and Qiao Zheng, all the Jiangnan heroes who joined Xiao Tang's group, had a different understanding of the new eldest brother's principles of doing things, and their attitude and requirements towards their brothers. He gained a new level of understanding. Shi Bao raised his head and drank the strong wine from the bowl. He then smiled and said: "The four heroes who were beaten up in the green woods of Liangzhe Road, Fujian Road and Jiangnan Road were not the only ones. Birdman, since my brother sees the despicable behavior of those guys and is disgusting, what's the point of just looking for other good guys to join the gang?"
Cheng Gui also nodded and said: "Now that I'm tired, let's wait and think about some other heroes who have behaved openly on the green forest roads in the south of the Yangtze River. But I must have heard about the man in Qingxi County, Muzhou, Liangzhe Road. Manichae leader Fang La has not only grown his followers in recent years, but has also sent people everywhere to recruit heroes from the green forests in the south of the Yangtze River. Since his brother also wants to recruit people on Fujian Road, Liangzhe Road and other places, it is hard to say that he is also recruiting people from that area. Competition among the Grand Hierarchs.”
Xiao Tang smiled faintly. He remembered that Fang La was originally from Shezhou (now Shexian County, Anhui Province), and then moved to Wannian Town, Qingxi County, Muzhou. Among the good generals and strangers under his command who were famous for their bravery and fighting skills, Figures such as Wang Yin, Deng Yuanjue, and Du Wei all clearly stated that they were from Shezhou. Since Fang La was a well-known green forest lord in Shezhou, Muzhou and other places, if these figures wanted to do something big, their first choice would definitely be He defected to Fangla and became a disciple of Manichaeism. In the original work, Lu Shinang, who guarded Runzhou and commanded the twelve gods in the south of the Yangtze River, was also the leader of Manichaeism stated clearly in history...
And among those heroes from the south of the Yangtze River who would fight bloody battles with Song Jiang's army of recruiters, resulting in the loss of most of Liangshan's hundred and eight generals, who have never expressed their place of origin, or who are now like Shi Bao, Zhejiang Silong and others? In this situation, it is very likely that he has not been recruited by Fang La yet?
After Xiao Tang thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a person's name suddenly appeared in his mind. Then he asked Shi Bao, Cheng Gui, Zhai Yuan and others: "I once heard that there was a man in the south of the Yangtze River who was good at using bows and arrows.
A good player, people in the world call him Xiao Yang Youji Pang Wanchun. I wonder if any of our brothers know where this person is and whether he is also a strong man who gathers in the mountains and forests?"
