Fang La grew a strange flower, which was very beautiful. This news spread throughout the village, and villagers came to Fang La's house in droves to admire the strange flower.
That strange flower was indeed no ordinary flower. The villagers had never seen such a strange and beautiful flower before. In addition, Fang Wa was very excited and told the origin of the flower vividly. The villagers were all surprised. , he was full of praise.
Fang La was also very proud of this and felt at ease.
Suddenly one day, the door of Fang La's courtyard was knocked open with a bang, and more than a dozen government officials rushed in menacingly. They pushed away a few villagers who were watching the flowers with Fang La and took out a roll of yellow paper. , went around in a circle and sealed the strange flower.
Just as Fang La was about to ask, the government officials had returned and surrounded Fang La and several villagers.
One of the yamen servants pointed at Fang La and shouted: "Zhuo! Are you Fang La?!"
When Fang La heard this, he was secretly angry and said in his heart: I am the master of Qiyuan, and I am an upright member of Fang. How can I be like this in your dog's mouth? However, thinking of the ancient saying that the people should not fight with the officials, Fang La suppressed his anger, put a smile on his face, and replied cautiously: "Master, the common people are Fang La."
"Okay! You just need Fangla!" A yamen servant roared: "You guy, prick up your donkey ears and listen carefully. This flower is used by the emperor and has been confiscated. You must take good care of it. , must not be damaged; otherwise, we will recognize you as Fang La, but the stick in our hands will not recognize you Fang La!"
After finishing speaking, the government officials shook their arms and walked away.
Fang La was reprimanded and humiliated in public, and suddenly felt disgraced. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth in anger.
What is this scenario? It turns out that when the Song Dynasty came to the Huizong Dynasty, because Emperor Huizong was keen on Taoism, he liked to build civil works, build gardens, and search for exotic flowers and plants everywhere, so he set up the Suzhou-Hangzhou Yingfeng Bureau on the southeastern boundary.
The prime minister at that time was Cai Jing, who was trying to trick Emperor Huizong into losing his ambition by playing with things. He liked to engage in corruption for personal gain and acted in an arbitrary manner, so he sent Zhu Meng to take charge of the matter, specializing in searching for Huashi Gang.
Since then, the villagers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have suffered from rice seedlings, and they have been tortured by Zhu Meng every day.
Zhu Meng was a major corrupt official in the Northern Song Dynasty. He formed a clique with Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, and Li Bangyan.
Relying on Huizong's favor and Cai Jing's favor, Zhu Meng abused his power in private and preyed on the common people.
In order to protect their own interests and win the favor of the Tao Lord and Emperor, the six thieves tried their best to flatter and lick the hemorrhoids.
Zhu Meng worked for the emperor with all his heart, even at the expense of the interests of the villagers. He didn't care about the rights and wrongs. Whenever he saw a house with rare stones, trees, flowers and plants, he sent his servants to swarm the villagers like tigers and wolves. In the courtyard, it is sealed with yellow paper, claiming that it is an object dedicated to the emperor, and must be carefully guarded and not damaged; otherwise, it is disrespectful, and the lighter punishment is to serve with sticks and fines, and the worst punishment is to be imprisoned and sent to the army.
Who has suffered such evil? !
Fang La lived in Jie Village, Wannian Town, Qingxi County, and was the master of Qiyuan. He was usually a domineering person. Suddenly he was despised and humiliated by the government officials, as if he was ordering his own slaves, and he felt uncomfortable.
At that time, Fang La was very angry when he saw that the visitor was so rude. He was about to get angry, but it was for the emperor's use, so he couldn't be disrespectful, so he had to endure his anger.
In the next period of time, Fang La did not dare to be careless at all. He took turns with his wife Shao, his son Fang Bo, and his daughters Jin Zhi and Yin Zhi on duty day and night, hoping to take good care of this strange flower dedicated to the emperor. He was delivered safely, so as not to be disrespectful, he was served with a stick.
Because Elder Xuanxu had explicitly told Fang La to be careful not to let wind, water and rain damage the flower. Therefore, Fang La was particularly careful and built a shed for the flower to protect it from wind and rain.
A few more days passed without incident, and the strange flower grew even more beautiful, which made Fang La feel happy.
Unexpectedly, it rained heavily in the next few days. The heavy rain poured down, until the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and the water covered the Jinshan Mountain.
Fortunately, there was a wooden shed covered with linoleum to protect the flowers from the rain.
Fang La was secretly proud and thought to himself that it was fortunate that he had taken precautions in advance. Otherwise, the rain would have destroyed this strange flower dedicated to the emperor.
Fang La was feeling proud when a tornado rolled up on a rainy day and blew away the linoleum of the wooden shed that Fang La had put on the flower. The rain poured down and beat the strange flower that was dedicated to the emperor. It was all in disarray and disgraceful, and in the end there was only a stalk left.
Fang La's family was dumbfounded when they saw that the strange flower dedicated to the emperor was destroyed by the rain because they failed to take good care of it. The whole family felt that disaster was coming, and they were frightened. They hugged and supported each other and cried loudly. The strange flowers dedicated to the emperor were wiped out by the rain, and they couldn't cry anymore, so they had to accept their fate. In the next few days, Fang La's family was frightened and terrified all day long. With no choice but to wait for a beating with sticks.
A few days later, after the rain, the sky cleared up, the red sun was shining brightly, the wind was refreshing, the vegetation was fresh, and everything looked so beautiful. From a distance, a group of government servants came to Fang La's house to carry some strange flowers for the emperor's use.
When the officials entered the gate of Fang La's house, they were shocked to see that the strange flower had fallen into pieces, withered and died, leaving only a stalk as thick as an arm standing alone.
One of the government officials was furious, jumped over, stretched out his hand to grab Fang La, and scolded: "Clumsy! You are so bold and unruly. The Emperor's Long Live Mountain is dedicated to this flower. How did you kill the Emperor's strange flower?"
Fang La was pulled unsteadily by the yamen, and he heard that he had killed the emperor's strange flower. Although he was frightened, considering that this flower grew in my yard, you yamen didn't give me a penny. , how come my strange flower becomes the emperor’s? !
Thinking of this, Fang La felt very aggrieved and muttered: "Master, did you make a mistake? This flower comes from my house and belongs to me. How could it be..."
"Clumsy!" Before Fang La finished speaking, the leading yamen servant yelled, raised the wooden stick in his hand, looked at Fang La's head, struck him down with his hand, and cursed: "You idiot who doesn't understand dignity. ! In the whole world, there are no royal ministers; everything on the shore of the land is royal soil. How can this flower be yours? Since this flower is yours, it must also belong to the emperor! Including you, it must also belong to the emperor. !”
When Fang La saw the yamen officer beating him down with a stick, he hid quickly, but his head was not hit by the stick, but his head was hit on his shoulder.
After receiving this blow, Fang La was extremely frightened. He held back the pain and hurriedly begged: "My lords, it's not the common people who didn't carefully protect the emperor's rare flowers. It's actually the heavy rain and the strong wind that killed the emperor." There are strange flowers, and the people are helpless."
Hearing this, the yamen servant became even angrier, jumped to his feet and cursed sternly: "Idiot! How dare you dare to quibble with the people?! What you said is simply fart! It is a great disrespect to the emperor. Let me ask you, it is also God's fault. It's raining, but Hua Hua was beaten to death, but you are alive and well?! He is a scoundrel and a cunning person, and he is so abominable with his clever words and sophistry! Someone, knock this guy over and beat him with all your strength!"
After hearing the order, the other yamen officials roared, "Yeah!" and without explanation, they surrounded him like tigers and wolves, pulling his arms and legs. They put Fang La down, pressed him to the ground, rounded the stick in his hand, and crackled. For a while, Fang La's butt was beaten until the skin and flesh were torn.
After the beating, a yamen servant took out his abacus, rattled it for a while, and yelled: "You are so bold and cunning Fang La, prick your donkey ears so that you can listen! The emperor's rare flower is worth ten taels of silver. Fang La, the cunning man, is innocent." If it is damaged, I will be ordered to compensate according to the price, within ten days, no mistake, otherwise I will be thrown into the county jail and can only be redeemed after the compensation is collected!"
After the announcement, he jumped over, kicked Fang La a few times, and glared at Fang La angrily, so that he was frightened and hurriedly paid the fine.
The other yamen servants were poking the ground with their sticks and talking all over the place: "Hurry up and hand over the money to Mr. Zhu's office, otherwise you will be rewarded!"
Then he shook his arms and left cursing.
After the government servants left, Fang La's family huddled together, sobbing, and began to cry until they were in darkness.
During that time, the whole Qingxi County was like this. It was definitely not Fang La's family who was beaten, scolded and exploited. People gathered together and cursed Zhu Men, wishing they could eat his flesh and drink his blood.
After Fang La's buttocks, which were bruised and bruised by the stick, had grown a little better, he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly brought ten taels of silver, endured the pain in his buttocks, staggered to Master Zhu's Yingfeng Bureau, paid the compensation, and felt a little more at ease. After a while, he walked slowly, took a break, and walked back to his home in Jie Village.
On the way, I met many villagers, all of whom told of Hua Shigang's suffering.
As Fang La walked to Jie Village, he was thinking about being spanked and being extorted of money.
The more Fang La thought about it, the sadder and sadder he became, so he sat down on the road and began to cry.
Seeing this, the villagers gathered around.
Someone who knew Fang La asked: "Exceptor Fang La, it's just that we poor people were exploited and beaten, how about you, the dignified officials, we were also exploited and beaten?"
When Fang La heard this, he felt even more shameless, the resentment in his heart deepened, and he secretly had the idea of rebellion.
This Fang La was also a scheming man. He also knew that Zhu Meng was cruel, cruel and greedy. He oppressed the villagers into misery and complained, so he went everywhere to incite the people and encourage the villagers to rebel.
The villagers had been oppressed by Zhu Meng for a long time and were suffering terribly. They were all full of anger. Now when someone started to cause trouble, how could they not respond?
Become a master and become famous, and attain the truth in heaven.
In ancient times, everyone who achieved great things had an explanation. When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang started an uprising, their excuse was "Fox Belly Alchemy Book Bonfire Fox Ming". The Zhang Jiao Yellow Turban Uprising carried the slogan "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian is here to stand. If you are aged for a year, the world will be prosperous". Fang La thought hard and found out the words to incite and seduce people's hearts, so he arranged children's songs in the streets and said:
"Ten thousand plus a little, you will be honored at the end of winter. Crossing the Zhejiang River, you will find your mark in Wuxing."
The word "shiqian" is a metaphor for ten thousand, and adding a little bit becomes the word "square"; the word "winter" is wax, and when combined, it is a metaphor for Fang La; the word "zun" means nothing more than the word "south is king". As for Zongheng Eryu, he clearly understood that he wanted to make a fortune in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Those ignorant people in the countryside know very well! In addition, after being stripped naked by Zhu Meng, I hated Zhu Meng for cutting his bones, and wished to eat his flesh and drink his blood. I had already rebelled in my heart. Then I listened to the children's songs in the streets and alleys, and I realized that it was fate, and I saw Fang La as his fate. He is an extraordinary person and must be the master of the future.
After this operation, Fang La saw that people's hearts had been agitated, so he climbed up and shouted to start a rebellion and overthrow the imperial court.
The villagers of Qingxi responded to every call and sang a hundred harmony. They gathered in Bangyuandong one after another. In response to Fang La, they started an uprising and made a big fuss in the southeast.
Qingxi Gangyuandong is Fang La's base.
This chaos was all caused by Hua Shigang, and it was precisely this chaos that shook the foundation of the Zhao family.
