Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

I don't know whether Jia Fuqing is too stupid or Hongxiu is too clever. After Jia Fuqing sent the news to the court, the court did not move for more than half a year, but Lin Yuan also knew that this was only a temporary calm. Expanding one's own territory and holding a larger chassis in one's hands will make it more difficult to compete with the imperial court.

Unless there is an early bird, the limelight is bigger than them.

But from the looks of it now, he, Lin Yuan, will be the one who stands out the most for the time being.

After Fang Guozhen voted for the Yuan Dynasty, he will not turn against it again. He is a standard speculator. Wherever the wind blows, he has no righteousness in his heart. He has no people, only interests.

Still a double-faced man, he accepted Zhu Yuanzhang's surrender in history, and at the same time accepted the official position given by the Yuan Dynasty court.

He will not offend a certain party, but will find a way to protect himself under the power struggle. His ambition is not big enough, and he is cautious, so he lived to the end. Although he died of illness, he died in the seventh year of Hongwu. Although he had no real power, But the size is still an official.

Lin Yuan sometimes felt that Fang Guozhen was not suitable to be the leader of the uprising. If he were a businessman, he might be more successful than Shen Wansan.

But the most indispensable thing in this world is speculators, such as the rats who are now among the crowd in Gaoyou.

"Why are you arresting me!" The man who was dragged in with both arms by the subordinates shouted with a face full of resentment, "Even if you want to punish me, you have to give me a crime! Didn't you say that Nan Bodhisattva has a heart of a Bodhisattva?! Just for the world to see?"

"You're right." Lin Yuan came out from the back room with a smile on his face, and the servants tied the man to the chair with a rope before leaving the room.

The man stared at Lin Yuan. He probably guessed who Lin Yuan was. He rolled his eyes and decided not to go around with Lin Yuan. He said, "You are Nan Bodhisattva?"

Lin Yuan sat on the chair opposite the man, and the two faced each other, but one was neatly dressed, the other was messy and tied up.

"May I ask, why did Nan Bodhisattva bring a small person like me here?" The man looked indignant.

Lin Yuan still had a smile on his face: "Senior An, what's his real name?"

The man snorted coldly: "If you don't want to change your name or change your surname, I will be called An Lao Si. No matter how you ask me, I only have this name."

Lin Yuan nodded: "Okay, Mr. An, the reason why I invited you over is that you and your friends have attracted too much attention recently. Originally, you were in the city. No matter what I asked, I just turned a blind eye. It's been a while, let's make it easier for each other, right?"

Fourth An stared into Lin Yuan's eyes: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"To put it another way." Lin Yuan picked up his teacup and took a sip, "Let me guess who sent you here."

"Fang Guozhen?"

"Liu Futong?"

Lin Yuan looked at his expression: "I didn't expect that Fang Zhizhong still had such a leisurely heart. I heard that he is doing well now, and the court values ​​him very much. Unfortunately, the price offered by the court is [-] households, which is more expensive than Zhizhong's." How high is the seat?"

Fourth An almost gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Yuan and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about. What do you mean by governing the South and the North?"

Lin Yuan asked him, "Are you thirsty?"

Mr. An was arrested two days ago, and he was locked up in the big prison for two days. There was not a drop of water or rice, his lips were peeled, his complexion was sallow, and his eyes were shining.

This person is really nice, Lin Yuan felt a little pity, how wonderful it would be if he had someone in his hands.

Courageous and loyal.

Just a little bit of cleverness can go a long way.

"I've changed my mind." Lin Yuan said suddenly.

Fourth An didn't know why, so he stared at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I don't want you to die."

Fourth An looked at Lin Yuan strangely. He thought that once Lin Yuan found out, he would die without a place to bury him. After all, what he was looking for was the armory. As long as he had something to do with the armory, no matter who it was, he would take it his life.

"Isn't it strange? What you have done is enough to make me chop off your head hundreds of times." Lin Yuan smiled, and he seemed to be a bit sympathetic to all living beings. Honest, trustworthy, and a little bit smart,

Old Fourth An swallowed his saliva: "What do you want to do?"

"Come here." Lin Yuan shouted towards the door.

The servants outside the door walked in.

Lin Yuan: "Take Mr. An down, so I can serve you."

The servants dragged An Laosi down again.

Song Shizhao from the back room came out at this time, and he sat on the chair next to Lin Yuan, which was the first seat on Lin Yuan's right. Song Shizhao asked, "My boss thinks this person is still useful?"

Lin Yuan: "Everyone is useful."

Song Shizhao stroked his beard: "However, from his appearance, he seems to be a bit oily and salty."

Lin Yuan smiled: "Everyone in this world likes three things, money, power, and beauties. He always likes something."

"As much as Fang Guozhen can give him, I can give more." Lin Yuan said with a smile, "Give him a sum of money, a cart of grain, and then send someone to send him back to Fang Guozhen."

Song Shizhao was taken aback: "Isn't this sending him to die?"

Lin Yuan: "If he can escape alive, I can use him."

-

Fourth An still didn't understand what happened. When he came back to his senses, he had already moved from the cold, damp and dark prison to the current house. He ate delicacies from mountains and seas every day, and at night, there were beautiful women who recommended themselves as pillow mats. While he was vigilant, he couldn't help feeling -- how good it would be if such days could be longer.

The longer the days passed, the more at ease he felt. He believed that this South Bodhisattva must have something that needed him, and maybe he wanted to inquire about the affairs of the government. I went to Zhizhong and asked myself to inquire about it.

When he returns to Huizhou Road, he will be able to obtain the glory and wealth that he never dared to imagine before.

He was one of the thousands of people who rebelled with Fang Guozhen back then, and he was willing to follow Fang Guozhen because he had had enough hard times.

Money and power, as well as beauties, he wants them all.

He was vigilant, no matter how gentle and considerate the beauty on the bed was, or how delicious the food was, he knew it must be a well-planned conspiracy.

After spending nearly two months in Gaoyou, An Lao Si was dug up from the bed one morning, and there was a plump beauty lying in his arms, and the beauty's lotus arms were still around his neck. The weather was already cold When they got down, people had already changed into cotton-padded clothes, and Mrs. An was dug out from the bed, shivering from the cold.

"Mr. An, Bodhisattva Nan ordered us to send you back to Huizhou in case you are not comfortable living in Gaoyou." The person who sent Mr. An back was Li Da, who now has thousands of people under his command. He is not very smart, but he is loyal to Lin Yuan, and sincerely thinks that Lin Yuan is a god descending from the earth.

Li Da looked at the stunned expression of An Laosi, and said in a gentle voice: "I want to come to Mr. An and want to make your father? I don't know what happened to Mrs. Sister-in-law?"

Fourth An: "What are you guys going to do?!"

Is it really necessary to send him back to Huizhou?What are they drawing?I have eaten and drank here for so long, do they just want to sell it to Zhizhong?

After being put on the carriage, An Laosi was sure that this was not a trick to get him, and they really wanted to send him back to Huizhou.

The woman who has been with An Lao Si during this time is called Tian Xiang. She is a very plump and curvy beauty. She sits beside Lin Yuan, her fingers are as thin and white as green onions, and the corner of her mouth is smiling. Clear like a yellow warbler: "He's smart. I've asked you everything I asked you, but he didn't say anything. He didn't even say that I'm a concubine. You can see that he's a heartless man."

Tian Xiang covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister Hongxiu has become a concubine after all. My heart is like being cut by an eagle. It hurts."

Lin Yuan took a sip of the tea provided by Tianxiang, and patted her hand: "I have wronged you."

Tian Xiang slipped into Lin Yuan's arms with a smile, and said with a charming smile, "I'm not wronged, he's very good on the bed, and my family is also very interesting."

Lin Yuan: "Then treat it as if you have prostituted a man for nothing."

Tian Xiang smiled with crooked eyes: "You said you would give it to me..."

Lin Yuan lightly tapped the tip of her nose: "Remember, go to your sister Hongxiu and ask for it. Mrs. Xingxing's outfit is yours."

Tian Xiang: "You are so generous to me, but what did you promise Miss Hongxiu?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Tian Xiang held Lin Yuan's hand, played with Lin Yuan's fingers, and said coquettishly, "I don't believe it."

Lin Yuan lowered his head and whispered in Tianxiang's ear, "Your sister Hongxiu said she would sleep with me overnight."

Tian Xiang opened her eyes wide, unable to close her mouth in surprise: "This, this is really..."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I rejected it, so you can see that your sister Hongxiu is sincere to me."

Tian Xiang was in a hurry: "My family is also sincere to you, and my family doesn't want that kind of outfit."

"Okay, okay, I'm coaxing you." Lin Yuan said, "You, take your temper, otherwise you will always suffer. Is it possible to do this business for the rest of your life?"

Tianxiang sighed: "I can't lift my shoulders or hands. I was born to serve men's lives. If I don't do this, what can I do? Just like those women, they care for their husbands and teach their children? It's not as easy as today's life. Isn't it better to have money in your hand than to rely on a man?"

Lin Yuan also understood the thoughts of these women. They greeted men almost from childhood. They had seen all kinds of men in this world, and they knew how fancy they were, so they believed in money more than men.

The reason why they want to be good is because they know that they will grow old one day, and before that, they need to find a way out.

From the perspective of a modern man, this is looking for an honest man when you are tired of playing.

But from the perspective of ancient men, these women who are lucky can become concubines, and those who are unlucky can only become concubines. Ji and concubines can be exchanged.

For example, Bai Juyi wrote, "Ten years of spring crows change into a tongue, and three times the old and ugly change their eyebrows."

It means that the housewife in my family will get old soon, and the melodious singing voice is gone. I have changed it three times in the past ten years, and replaced it with a new beauty.

At that time, Bai Juyi was already in his dying years.

Except for wives, if concubines are gifted by important people or have good backgrounds, they may be able to escape.

But most of the concubines rely entirely on buying and selling. Although they can be called half-masters, it must be under the condition of being favored.

Concubines can be exchanged for gifts, not to mention concubines who have no status.

In a patriarchal society, women have no right to speak, and even the vast majority of women cannot control their own destiny. They follow the trend all their lives and have no choice.

Lin Yuan raised Tianxiang's chin: "It's up to you, I'll always keep you going smoothly."

Tian Xiang was happy, and kissed Lin Yuan on the cheek: "Hello, no man in this world is as good as your little finger."

"Come on, if you keep coaxing me, I'm really going to heaven." Lin Yuan said to her, "Go to your sister Hongxiu."

Tianxiang left reluctantly.

After leaving the room, he said to himself: "I don't know which kind of man will be cheaper in the end."

If Nan Bodhisattva hadn't explicitly rejected them, she would have climbed into his bed no matter what.

Tim Xiang sighed.

-

After walking on the road for more than a month, the closer An Lao Si got to Huizhou, the more flustered he felt.

The people who sent him back to Huizhou put him at the gate of the city, and they left. An Lao Si had to go into the city alone, and went home first to meet his old parents and wife. As for the money and food, he was not willing to throw them away. Outside, I had to find a porter to pull me in and bring me back to my home.

The wife and parents hadn't seen Mr. An for a long time. When Mr. An came back, they were all overjoyed and prepared a table of good wine and food to welcome their husband and son.

For some reason, An Laosi was not in a hurry to meet Fang Guozhen.

He stayed in the room at night with his wife, who was the daughter of a landlord's family, and asked him, "Why do you look so sad? What happened?"

An Laosi told his wife about his arrest and release in Gaoyou.

He also asked: "What do you mean by Nan Bodhisattva? If he wanted to subdue me, why would he ask me to come back?"

But the wife said with a complicated face: "Let me ask you, if you went to see Zhizhong, and Zhizhong asked you why Nan Bodhisattva treated you like this, what would you say?"

Fourth An: "I don't know either, maybe there is something wrong with his brain?"

The wife sneered: "You went there, but you didn't find out anything. Then Nan Bodhisattva gave you food and money, and gave you ten mouths. Can you explain clearly? Or do you think Zhizhong thinks Nan Bodhisattva is a manly man?" , have you taken a fancy to you?"

Fourth An didn't speak.

Wife: "Besides, even if you're really manly, I won't call you back."

An Lao Si had a feeling at first, but after his wife said this, he finally understood.

Nan Bodhisattva wanted to use Zhizhong's hand to kill him.

An Laosi pursed his lips: "I'll go to Zhizhong and clarify this matter."

The wife said coldly: "Pack up your things."

Fourth An looked at her.

Wife: "We'll leave overnight before anyone notices you're back. You know the soldiers guarding the city. We'll go out after curfew. You'll have to think about it as an excuse."

Fourth An was speechless: "Has it reached this point?"

The wife has already unpacked her luggage and started to pack her luggage: "Since Nan Bodhisattva is so troublesome, we will only be better than now when we pass."

An Laosi sometimes really doesn't understand what his wife thinks.

The family packed their luggage overnight and slipped out of the city in the dark.

They didn't take a carriage, An's wife was very calm, but An's fourth was anxious: "We don't even have a horse, can we walk by two legs? The two of us are fine, what about my father and mother?"

An's wife sighed: "You are usually smart, but now you can't figure it out."

They waited for more than half an hour at the place where An Lao Si was put down, and they saw someone coming with a carriage not far away.

An Laosi stared at Li Da and the others with wide eyes.

This group of people has been guarding here for a whole day, and they haven't left yet?

Li Da changed his face this time, and said respectfully to Fourth An, "Mr. An, Mrs. Sister-in-law, get in the car."

An Laosi looked at his wife: "You have thought of it a long time ago."

Mrs. An had already helped her father-in-law and mother-in-law into the carriage, and said to her husband, "Come up quickly."

Li Da drove the carriage, and the people who came with him followed behind on horseback.

He rushed to An Laosi who was in the car and said, "Mr. An, Nan Bodhisattva said that this is your only choice, so you don't have to be angry. What Nan Bodhisattva said is never wrong."

Fourth An finally admitted his failure.

If he wanted to survive, he had no choice but to go to Lin Yuan and recognize Lin Yuan as his master.

There is no other choice.

-

Lin Yuan learned from the first person who rushed back that An Laosi was on his way back, and then he smiled. Song Shizhao flattered Lin Yuan beside him: "The boss really has no plans."

"It's a pity that there can't be more people like this." Lin Yuan shook his head regretfully.

After catching so many "rats", only this one is not bad.

The others are all fools. After a period of coercion and lure, they will speak clearly. They can tell at a glance that they have not been taught anything, and some have not even been tortured. When they heard the screams in the cell next to them, they were so frightened that they said everything. I want to save my life with this.

These people were all beheaded in the end, and when the common people learned that they had come to inquire about Gaoyou's news, they all felt that these people died well.

Song Shizhao smiled and said, "But there is good news."

Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Since it's the good news from Mr. Song, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter?"

"There is a family of people surnamed Wu who came to join the Dong family." Song Shizhao said, "This family's ancestors had admonishing doctors."

Lin Yuan: "An official from the Song Dynasty."

Song Shizhao nodded: "Exactly, I think I have some skills, so I kept them here privately, and now they are arranged outside."

"It's quite extraordinary to be able to ask Mr. Song to say such a thing." Lin Yuan said, "I happen to be free, so let's go together."

Song Shizhao smiled and said, "I can't ask for it."

Wu Changqing has been living in the house arranged by Director Song for nearly half a year. It only took him half a year from being confident at the beginning to being uneasy now. He kept giving gifts to Song Shizhao, but Song Shizhao didn't know anything did not do it.

He understood what Song Shizhao was thinking. Song Shizhao was afraid that he would shake Song Shizhao's current position.

So Wu Changqing could only endure it.

He originally thought about joining the Red Turban Army, but now the Red Turban Army can only retreat to a corner.

In desperation, he chose Gaoyou.

After all, in his view, Taizhou produces salt and Gaoyou is a land of fish and rice. Sitting in these two places, his subordinates are all elite soldiers, and they will not worry about their great achievements.

He is ambitious and feels that he will become the second crouching dragon, or the second phoenix chick.

But reality gave him a sap.

He is conceited and talented, and he is strategizing, but he is not seen by others at all.

Just when Wu Changqing was about to send someone to invite Song Shizhao again, Song Shizhao suddenly came to the door by himself, not only by himself, but also with a young man.

"It's been half a year, and you just leave him alone?" Lin Yuan asked Song Shizhao on the way here.

Song Shizhao said: "This man does have some abilities, but he is arrogant and arrogant. The subordinates are afraid that he will be unruly, so they have only left him for half a year. It is finally easy for the boss to tame him at this time."

Lin Yuan glanced at Song Shizhao, but didn't break his little thoughts.

Apart from this, the reason for not introducing him to me half a year ago must also be due to Song Shizhao's own fancy.

But forget it, don't worry about it.

Lin Yuan: "Have you received a lot of benefits?"

Song Shizhao showed a treacherous and cunning smile: "The subordinates are about to evacuate him."

Lin Yuan sighed, "What an old fox."

Song Shizhao: "My boss is absurd."

Lin Yuan spread his hands.

Song Shizhao coughed slightly: "Leave everything to Jiang Guan."

Lin Yuan nodded: "That's about the same."

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. With a background like the Wu family, even if there is not much money, there will be many valuable things.

In this way, Song Shizhao was able to evacuate the family, and even Lin Yuan had to sigh that he was treacherous and cunning.

Wu Changqing walked to the door quickly. He rushed out when he learned from the old servant that Director Song had come. He had a lot to say, but when he saw the young man next to Director Song, he didn't think about anything. said.

This young man was dressed simply, without any silk or satin on his body, but his whole body was extraordinary, and he had a different temperament from others when he walked around. His whole body was relaxed, and the corner of his mouth was smiling.

Wu Changqing's eyes lit up.

After sitting on the cold bench for so long, I finally waited until spring.

He will not let go of this opportunity to show his loyalty. If he misses this time, he will not know when the next time will be.

"Song Guanshi!" Wu Changqing walked down the stone steps.

Song Shizhao didn't hide it, nodded to Wu Changqing, and said, "This is my master."

Lin Yuan smiled at Wu Changqing and said, "Master Wu."

Wu Changqing tried his best not to look overjoyed, restrained himself from inviting the two of them in, and then said to the old servant, "Tell Madam and Young Master not to go to my study."

The old servant promised.

Only then did Wu Changqing suppress his excitement and walk in.

His fingers were trembling uncontrollably.

Others study to earn fame and live a good life, but Wu Changqing's ambition is far more than that.

Who among the people of insight in the world is not cheering for the troubled times.

As long as he can disturb the situation in the world, he can forget about fame, fortune, money and beauties.

Wu Changqing dusted off his robe, put on a smiling face, and took a step forward.

He, Wu Changqing, was smarter than ordinary people since he was a child. He thought that he was not inferior to some counselors in history.

On the contrary, he felt that he was stronger than them.

Compared to them, he was only a little bit less lucky, and had a master worthy of allegiance.

Wu Changqing pushed away the people in the study, he looked at Lin Yuan's smiling face, and his heart was full of pride and ambition.

One day, he will let everyone in the world know his name.

Not the son of the Wu family.

It was Wu Changqing.
