The Founding of the Red Chamber

Lin Jing found that he had the potential of a prophet, but Lin Yi called it a crow's mouth unceremoniously.

Originally, Lin Yi had won the victory and returned to the court, but Emperor Zhaowen thoughtfully gave Lin Yi ten days off to recuperate at home.Of course, the rewards that should be given and the official positions that should be promoted have already been stated in the imperial decree.

It was also a coincidence that in a few days it would be Lin Ze's Grab Ceremony, and the Lin family was thriving, so naturally many people joined in.

After Lin Jing's training in advance, Lin Ze took a few auspicious things out of face, and Duke Lin's mansion was full of excitement for a whole day.At night, the guests left and the host was exhausted, not to mention Lin Ze, the main character of the day, had already been coaxed to sleep by the nanny.

After seeing off the guests, Lin Jing told his brother and sister-in-law, and went back to rest in his courtyard.

After three years of recuperation, although he couldn't compare with Guan Xiaoer, who was like a calf, Lin Jing's body was much stronger than before, and he didn't get sick during the changing seasons, Lin Jing didn't say anything, but his temper became stronger Cheerful.

Spring is coming to an end, and the voice of the warbler is getting old.

Lin Jing lived his little life contentedly, except for Lin Yi who was dissatisfied with his homework and got slapped a few times, Lin Jing had nothing to worry about.Until the big news of the robbery came...

Lin Jing listened to the storyteller's eloquent voice in the teahouse, "It is said that the executioner had just raised his sword, and suddenly dozens of big men jumped out of him, all of them armed with knives and guns, with superb martial arts skills, flying over the eaves and entering the earth, shuashuashua A few times, he jumped onto the prison platform, cut off the rope lock, and wanted to rob the prisoner. At this moment, Jin Yiwei pulled out the Xiuchun knife, and went forward bravely without fear of death. Immediately, the sword flashed, the lightning flashed and the thunder thundered, and it was life and death , Blood flowed like a river, the last count, hey, hundreds of rebels, all of them were rectified on the spot, and none of them slipped through the net.

Lin Jing could never tire of listening to this passage of "Shandong bandits robbed the court, Jinyi guards rebelled against heroes", and waited until the storyteller finished the story in a cadence, and came down to ask for rewards. Lin Jing ordered his servant Qingzhu to take copper coins as a reward Fang got up and went home.

In fact, he knew about this a long time ago, and the news from the family will never be slower than the storyteller's mouth.

Lin Yi only cares about pacifying the bandits, but he doesn't care about whether or not to rob the prisoners.Lin Yi has already submitted the list of all the bandits, and even those who slipped through the net have been reported to the court one by one.Therefore, even if someone wanted to make trouble by taking advantage of the robbery, Lin Yi had no choice but to give up because of his thorough actions.

It's just that the fish that slipped through the net are rampant to the imperial capital to rob prisoners, and the banditry in Shandong is serious, which can be seen one or two.

The world is so uneven that even Lin Jing, a child, can't help but feel a little worried.

Lin Jing, who was raised in a deep boudoir, sighed a little, but he didn't know that the heroes had already lost their heads, and there were still legends about them in the world.

For example, the boxer surnamed Wang that Situ San hired for his younger brother, Master Wang has been heaving and sighing for the past few days, drowning his sorrows with wine, drinking tears after drunk, all kinds of abnormalities, even Situ Si can see it.

Situ Si also discussed with Xiao Niuzi the reason for Master Wang's abnormality, Xiao Niuzi said, "Maybe it was kicked by a girl from a flower building."

Situ Si was righteous, "Little Niuzi, don't slander Master Wang, Master Wang never goes to flower houses. He thinks it's too expensive."

The little cow laughed.

Situ Si is a frank person, once he sees it, he asks about it. Seeing that Master Wang has a plate of peanuts, a plate of pork ears with red oil, and a jar of coarse wine, he sifts and sighs, endlessly.Situ Si was worried about him and panicked. He felt that a man was so tired of such a virtue that people couldn't see it, so he sat on one side of the chair and asked, "Master, don't you teach new boxing and kicking today?"

Master Wang sighed, "Little Si, you should practice on your own these few days, Master really..." As he spoke, he shed a few more tears.Situ Si hurriedly asked, "Master, why did you suddenly feel sad? But who bullied you and made you unhappy?" After speaking, Situ Si still respected his master very much. Since he was by the side, he did not let Master Wang himself Instead, he sifted the wine for Master Wang and said, "Master, we are not outsiders. If you have something unpleasant, just say it and don't hide it."

Master Wang said, "I am a vagabond, I have no wife and no children, and I regard heaven and earth as my home. Why should I be unhappy?" He raised his wine bowl, drank most of it, and sighed, "I It is sad that hundreds of heroes in Shandong have all gone to Huangquan, the world is not fair!"

Situ Si couldn't understand, and asked, "Who died in Shandong?" Didn't I hear that Master Wang had relatives in Shandong?Moreover, hundreds of heroes and so on have little to do with Master Wang.

Master Wang looked sideways at Situ Si, and then drank another bowl of wine, gritted his teeth and wept blood, making Situ Si's back feel hairy.Master Wang said, "Don't you know? The imperial court sent Cheng Engong to Shandong to reel the bandits. Thirty strongholds were wiped out. All the heroes of the world were captured by the eagles and dogs. Now they have been escorted to the imperial capital to be beheaded." Master Wang's eyes were red again.His hand holding the wine bowl was a little unsteady, and more than half of the wine was spilled out of the bowl, soaking his clothes.

Seeing that Master Wang was so sad, Situ Si felt a little uncomfortable.

Now that the entire family has joined this business, Situ Si has heard of some of these rivers and lakes. He frowned and said, "Didn't the master tell me that the officers and soldiers who went to reeling bandits are useless? And the commitment The general of En Gong's family was almost captured alive by Chief Mu? Why did he suddenly become powerful again?"

Master Wang sighed, "Oh, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other. General Rong was really incompetent at the time, and then the court sent Lord Lin to go there. This Lord Lin is a general who is very capable. !” As he spoke, Master Wang placed the bowl on the elm table with a bang, causing the dishes on the table to tremble.Situ Si continued to pour wine for Master Wang, only to realize that there was a crack in the bottom of the wine bowl, and it was already useless.Situ Si called the boy to fetch a new bowl, and said, "So there are still capable people in the imperial court?"

"What do you mean, how can the court have no capable people?" Master Wang laughed, paused, and raised his thick eyebrows, "Laizhou suffered a severe drought the year before last, and Mu Datou led his brothers into the state capital to open a warehouse to release grain. , There are countless living people. Alas, if there is a way to survive, who would want to enter the mountains and become a bandit?"

Situ Si was silent for a moment, deeply sympathized with Master Wang's words, and said, "When you meet those dog officials, you have to die if you want to survive." He poured the wine for Master Wang and persuaded, "Master, drink a few more bowls." , "Master, do you recognize the leader Mu who opened the warehouse to release the grain?"

Master Wang sighed, "I've only heard about the reputation of Chief Mu, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance to meet him."

"Has Chief Mu been arrested and beheaded by the court?"

Master Wang shed tears again.

Situ Si didn't ask any more questions, but only tried to persuade him to drink.

Situ Si's temperament was upright and forthright. Although he didn't recognize these people after hearing these Jianghu stories, he felt very sad and injustice for them.

Xiao Niuzi didn't care whether Master Wang was sad or happy, he lived in the same room with Situ Si, so he naturally cared about Situ Si, and when he saw him unhappy, he asked why.Situ Si didn't care about anything, so he told Xiao Niuzi all the things that Master Wang said.

Xiao Niuzi tidied up the books on the table, not taking it seriously, and said, "It is only natural that officials and bandits are not independent, and the imperial court sent troops to reel bandits. They are bandits, and they should have realized this long ago. What's so sad about it?"

Situ stared, "The one who died was a good man who robbed the rich and gave to the poor! Could it be that there are no good men among the bandits? Like Master Mu said, they are all well-known heroes in the world."

The corner of Xiao Niuzi's lips curled up slightly, he put the books in order, changed hands and poured two cups of tea, and handed one to Situ Si, smiling, "I just said one thing, why are you on fire?"

Situ Si took a sip of the tea and said, "Isn't it a matter of getting angry or not?"

Xiao Niuzi said indifferently, "I didn't say that they are not good people, but it would be a lie to say that they are good people. Let me ask you, what do bandits do for a living in the mountains all day?"

Situ Four said, "Steal the rich and help the poor."

Xiao Niuzi smiled slightly, "Stealing from the rich and helping the poor? It sounds good to say, who's rich is to be robbed? Even if the rich are rich and benevolent, don't the rich have no good? Do you dare to say that the rich in the world are all bad people?"

Situ Si became dumb when asked.

The little Niuzi continued, "They don't do production on the mountain, they only live by robbing houses. Even if they have robbed the bad people, have they not robbed the good people? Other people's money is not necessarily obtained by injustice. Many wealthy people People are the accumulation of blood and sweat of their ancestors for generations, and the same is not easy to come by. When they meet them, they will lose their lives. Even if they give out some silver taels to help the poor, those silver taels are limited, but they are just to buy people's hearts. Don't you Really!"

Situ Si was shocked by Xiao Niuzi's call, and he was stupefied and depressed, "According to what you say, the bandits deserve death?"

"Xiao Si, don't you just believe what others say? I'm telling you this, not to say that they deserve to die, but I'm just telling you that they are just ordinary people, and you don't need to admire them like heroes. "Xiao Niuzi took the teacup in his hand, held his hand, and his voice seemed to be wrapped in the warmth of March, warm and pleasant, "Good or bad, it depends on who it is for. Like you said, Chief Mu Those people, we say they are heroes because we have the same position as them. But, to the imperial court, they are rebels and should be killed."

Situ Si was listless, "It's really boring to be told by you."

Xiao Niuzi smiled and said, "If you want me to say, like the third brother, they do business seriously and earn money to live, which is much better than bandits who rob houses and houses."

Situ raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that my brother is stronger than Chief Mu?"

"I think so."

Situ Si punched Xiao Niuzi lightly, and smiled, "Little Niuzi, you really know how to flatter."

Xiao Niuzi nodded slightly, meaningfully, "Oh, so you said third brother is flattering."

In terms of eloquence, even ten Situ Si could not equal one calf, so Situ Si simply went straight to the point.Situ's four big horses and monkeys rode on the little Niuzi's back like a monkey, holding the little Niuzi's shoulders with both hands, until the little Niuzi surrendered.The two played around for a while, and Situ Si ate the cake from the celadon plate, and asked, "Xiao Niuzi, do you think there are real, indomitable heroes like those in the storybooks in this world?"

It was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the weather was getting warmer, and the sun shone through the window, shining on the two of them, casting faint shadows.Little Niuzi's clear eyes flashed with confusion, and he said, "If you can't take care of yourself, how can you care about others? On the other hand, if you are rich and honorable, do you still need to care about others? The saint said, If you are poor, you will be good for yourself; if you are rich, you will benefit the world. In fact, it is difficult and difficult to be good for yourself. How many people can help the world? I don’t know if there are such people, but even if there are, it must be rare.”

Even the wisest little cow couldn't answer this question, Situ Si sighed in disappointment.
