"We were ordered to carry ten envoys to the Taihu Lake to carry the Hua Shi Gang to the capital for payment. Unexpectedly, Sajia was the only one who had good luck and escorted the Hua Shi Gang to the Yellow River. The wind overturned the boat and the emperor fell into it. Gang, unable to return to the capital to take up his post, ran away to seek refuge elsewhere. It is said that he has been living in the world for nearly two years..."
This sad past event brought the green-faced beast to tears in the hall. He was born in a general family, came from a famous family, and had great abilities, but he was restricted in everything. Every time something went wrong, when Yang Zhi thought about it, he couldn't restrain his grief and anger.
Zou Run was a qualified listener. Although he did not agree with some of Yang Zhi's views, he did not say a word and only watched coldly.
He knows that people like this have too much burden in their hearts, but their conscience is still intact. They cannot get away in this dark world and chaotic officialdom no matter what, no matter in the past or in the future, as long as they still have a trace of conscience. , If you don’t know that you are complicit, you will not have a good life.
When it came to the emotional point, Yang Zhi picked up the wine jar on the table, raised his chin and drank directly from the wine jar regardless of etiquette, as if just doing this, the sweet wine could extinguish the unyielding fire in his heart. Such a bold and unrestrained behavior was originally a sad move, but it inadvertently won the applause of the whole house.
Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu slapped their thighs at the table, and Ruan Xiaowu responded enthusiastically: "Zhizhi is so proud! This is how I wait for the heroes. If you want to follow my advice, then Hua Shigang will be harmed." How many households have destroyed their homes and demolished their houses. Although I am here in Liangshan, east of Jingdong, I can still hear the people who fled from the south of the Yangtze River shouting curses. Such things that have harmed the country and the people have been lost, and they have no effect on the country or the people. This is not a good thing!”
"Good thing!???"
Yang Zhi suddenly put the wine jar on the table, with a muffled thud, interrupting Ruan Xiaowu's words. A sacred light appeared on his face, and he tried his best to assume a majestic posture, intending to present himself to this fish-clad man. The smell of green woods and grass illustrates the great meaning.
"That's the imperial guideline! It's the emperor's order! It's the mission sent by the current Holy One! That's..."
Yang Zhi's beard and hair were spread out, and his voice was like thunder. The remaining wine flowed from his beard to his neck, and then soaked Zheng Chen's clothes, but he didn't notice it at all.
Suddenly, Zou Run spoke up.
"That is the future of the envoy."
"That's where the envoy will shine again."
"...But that is also the blood of the people in Jiangnan..."
There is another sentence that Zou Run hid in his heart and never said out loud - "That is the national destiny of this empire that is disappearing rapidly..."
But even so, Yang Zhiru's words stuck in his throat and his face turned red. Hearing the words, Ruan Xiaoer made a sound and spat out a chicken bone from his mouth with disdain.
Zhu Gui, who had always been low-key and speechless, also chuckled softly from the last seat.
Even Lin Chong, who was once a member of the Forbidden Army, found it difficult to empathize. After all, Hua Shigang's reputation was so stinky that it would be an understatement to say it was a stinky street. It was everywhere in the world, no matter whether it was literati, military generals, or ordinary people, rich and poor. None of the wealthy gentry had a good word to say about it.
Even Song Huizong Zhao Ji, who was the beneficiary, issued edicts to remove Hua Shigang many times after realizing his conscience, but he always returned to his old ways after a short time. This kind of edict that inspired the world did not matter to this Taoist who was good at art. Jun said it as if he was joking.
Yang Zhi finally sat down. He could give 10,000 non-repetitive reasons to prove that Hua Shi Gang was of this or that importance, but he could not get around his own conscience. During the escort, the people on Jiangnan Road were displaced, and many wealthy households His family was destroyed because of this, he had witnessed all this with his own eyes, he couldn't argue with it...
"Sa Jia... Sa Jia is just a warrior... he only knows how to obey orders..."
Fortunately, Zou Run didn't say anything more and changed the subject.
"There is no need to mention the past. How will the unknown envoy plan for the future?"
Hearing this, Yang Zhi's eyes became more radiant and his spirit was slightly lifted. "Now that I heard that the officials are granting amnesty to the world, the sins of the Sa family have been eliminated. I have collected a load of money and goods after hard work. When I return to Tokyo, I will go to the Privy Council to use it, and then I will take care of my own activities."
Lin Chong opened his mouth and wanted to say something several times, but in the end he silently picked up the wine bowl, regarded the water as strong liquor, and drank it all in one gulp, feeling disappointed.
Ruan Xiaoer had a playful look on his face and did not want to talk to this official fan. He poured himself a drink and just picked some meat and vegetables to eat. Zhu Gui glanced at Zou Run, who was sitting upright, and secretly tried to figure out the village leader's thoughts. He guessed that the village leader must have invited Yang Zhi to join the group. After thinking carefully for a moment, he mustered up the courage to try and say:
"The envoys are in charge, and it is not the words of a villain. Tong Guan is now in charge of the Privy Council, and Gao Qiu is sitting in the Marshal's Palace. It seems that these two people are both far-reaching virtuous people who are close to the villain. They have never been gold or silver. If you don't open your eyes, you won't use anyone who is not one of your own. If the envoy goes this time, the future may not be clear. It would be better to stay in Liang..."
Before the word "mountain" came out of Zhu Gui's mouth, Yang Zhi was furious. For him, who was eager to reinstate himself, he had to die if he went to the mountain to become a bandit. The reputation of the Yang family as a general could not be tarnished by anyone.
He was about to scold him sharply, but Zou Run unexpectedly stopped him.
"Teacher Zhu made a joke after drinking. Don't take it seriously. Let the envoy sit down. Tomorrow, Zou will return the luggage and send it down the mountain as agreed."
"It's just that Zou has something to ask of me, and I hope the envoy can agree to it."
Compared to the unknown Han Di Hu Lu, Yang Zhi was inexplicably in awe of the young Zou Run. He always had a vague feeling that the man in front of him seemed to have a strange feeling that could see through his heart.
Yang Zhi responded obediently: "If the leader of the village has something to do, it doesn't matter if he talks about it. If Sajia can do what he can, he should do his best."
Who said that Kansai men are simple and have no scheming intentions? Yang Zhi, a true Kansai native, knew how to leave some room for words.
Zou Runquan pretended not to understand what was being said and said straight to the point:
"Zou wants to go to Tokyo with the envoy tomorrow. Please take care of me on the way."
Lin Chong, who was so out of his mind that he felt something in his heart, suddenly stopped, speechless, and words filled his throat.
Zou Run smiled indifferently and said to Lin Chong: "Since I respect the coach as my brother, I naturally did not watch my sister-in-law being harassed by Gao Yameni in Tokyo City. Brother, if it is not the younger brother who takes the blame, you must It was done wrong.”
"That Gao Yamen is known as Hua Hua Tai Sui. If you didn't write that divorce note, he would have to reckon with his reputation and face, and he wouldn't dare to push you too hard. Even though you wrote that divorce note, it was all for your own benefit. He has a reputation as a real man, but... he has made his sister-in-law miserable..."
A word that wakes up the dreamer!
"Bang" sound!
The wine bowl in Lin Chong's hand suddenly fell to the ground. The fragile black ceramic bowl fell to pieces on the ground. This sound was not noticeable above the noisy lobby, but it revealed the leopard-headed inner gaffe.
"Mother...Mother..."
"Lin Chong...Did Lin Chong really do something wrong..."
