Chapter Ninety-Six: Proverbs
The purple-robed middle-aged man on the stage was obviously Wang Yunye, the head of the dragon and the big leader of Yun Mengze.
For Lin Fan and others, who have been active in Anzhou, Wang Yunye's name has long been like thunder. But they have been on the island for nearly three days, and this is the first time they have seen this person appear, and they have never had the opportunity to see the true face of his person before.
Curious, Lin Fan looked at it intently, this person was not tall, and even looked a little short and fat. It may be the reason for the long years of fishing, the wind and sun have been exposed, the skin is a little dark, except for a brocade dress, the rest is not much different from ordinary fishermen.
This gorgeous purple robe was worn on his body, which was really a bit ridiculous. However, he has been in a high position over the years, and this person has also developed a bit of power, coupled with Yun Mengze's huge power, the people below can't afford to offend.
Therefore, although everyone was somewhat ridiculed about Wang Yunye's pretense in their hearts, no one dared to laugh out loud.
Yun Mengzewei is very pressed, even if these people below are dissatisfied with Wang Yunye and the others in their hearts, but when they see Wang Yunye, they still have to do enough etiquette.
So after Wang Yunye sat down, everyone bent down and saluted: "I've seen the big leader Wang!"
After Wang Yunye, everyone saluted Liao Guangpu and Huang Xinfeng again: "I've seen the second leader, the third leader!" ”
"Hmm!" Wang Yunye nodded lightly and hummed at everyone: "You don't have to be polite!" Wang is busy, so he is late, and the etiquette is not good, so please bear with me! ”
If you say it with a big fist, everyone will naturally not take Wang Yunye's excuse seriously, so they can only dare not say it.
Wang Yunye was quite satisfied with their humble attitude, so he smiled and let everyone sit down.
The host and guest greeted each other for a while, saying some polite words that were not painful, and some of the people in the seat were even more clever and indispensable to greet Wang Yunye.
Thousands of clothes, sycophants are not worn, in the face of the flattery of the heroes, Wang Yunye naturally feels very happy, and it is inevitable to appease these people. In this way, half an hour passed before the matter got to the point.
At this time, one of the people stood up and flattered and said: "The great leader commands the heroes and the four directions, and it is a great honor to invite us to participate in this Fengtian conference today, but I don't know why the big leader Wang held this Fengtian conference?"
Wang Yunye looked at him and smiled: "Leader Zhu doesn't have to worry, please sit down first!"
After the leader surnamed Zhu sat down, Wang Yunye looked at everyone again and said slowly: "I think in addition to Leader Zhu, everyone here also wants to know what I am looking for you for, right?"
Hearing Wang Yunye's words, everyone had different expressions, but no one was uninterested, and they all echoed it.
Lin Fan took the opportunity to take a look at the Zhu leader, from just now, several people had gathered around this person, independent of the crowd, and he didn't care about Wu Qing and the man in Tsing Yi, and was obviously out of place with other people.
Now it seems that this person may have secretly taken refuge in Yun Mengze. In order to avoid suspicion, he didn't want to mix with everyone, so as not to cause Yun Mengze's dissatisfaction.
Wang Yunye didn't care about the reaction of the people below, he just said with a smile: "It's inconvenient for me to talk about the following things, let's let the second leader talk about it!"
When Liao Guangpu heard this, he took up his seat and first bowed to Wang Yunye in the middle.
Then he cleared his throat and said unhurriedly: "Don't hide it from the leaders, this is how it happened. Half a month ago, some of our brothers were fishing in the lake and caught a big fish several feet long. However, although this fish is rare, it is nothing, so although the brothers are happy, they do not do anything big! ”
"It's just that when I was killing the fish, a brother suddenly found something strange in the belly of the fish. The brother on duty was shocked when he saw it, and did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly presented the fish and the things found in the belly of the fish to our great chief. ”
After telling what happened, Liao Guangpu knew that it was difficult to convince everyone with just his tongue, so he said to his subordinates below: "There is no basis for words, you go and bring that fish up and let everyone see it!"
The subordinates took the order and left, and soon several people came to the venue carrying a large fish several feet long.
Seeing that Liao Guangpu said so mysteriously, although Lin Fan didn't believe it, he also set his eyes on the big fish that needed the strength of several people to carry over.
This fish is not a precious species, but just an ordinary herring. This kind of fish is not uncommon in the south of the Yangtze River, it is distributed in rivers and lakes, and it is slightly less in the north of the Yangtze River, but it is not an unobtainable thing, so it is not rare.
Lin Fan was surprised that this fish was unusually large, so that he had never seen such a big herring fish in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, this fish stretched out more than eight feet, a few points taller than ordinary middle-aged men.
Such a big fish, I'm afraid it's rare to see it in Yunmengze in these hundreds of miles.
In addition, this object has extraordinary underwater strength, and even if it is found in an ordinary fisherman's boat, it may not be able to catch it, and it may even cause the boat to be capsized.
Therefore, such big fish are often regarded as spirits in the water by fishermen, and generally do not take the initiative to catch them, and some fishermen will even burn incense and worship after encountering this kind of big fish, begging for blessings.
However, this big fish has been dead for many days, and naturally there is no divine power in the water.
Although Yun Mengze's people salted it with a lot of salt in order to prevent it from rotting. But in the high temperature of autumn, it is still inevitable to exude an incomparably rancid smell from the fish, and the people next to the smoked ones have covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves, but the smell is still drilling into the nose vigorously, making people almost faint.
After everyone saw the fish, Liao Guangpu carefully picked up a tray from the altar in front of him, on which was a bright yellow silk cloth.
He said: "This is what we found from the belly of the fish, you can also pass it on, but you must remember not to damage it in the slightest, otherwise it will be my Yun Mengze's enemy of life and death." Even if the sky is high and the earth is far away, I Yun Mengze will be punished! ”
His men took the tray and walked past the leaders below, letting them look closely, but not allowing them to touch it.
Everyone here knows that this silk cloth is the most important, and as for the fish, not many people care about it.
Although many people have seen such a large lake fish for the first time, it has been dead for several days, and it is too smelly and irrelevant. Therefore, no one was willing to go up to check, and they all abandoned the big fish and observed this piece of yellow silk.
The silk cloth was not exquisite, there were no brilliant veins and patterns on it, and it even exuded a slight fishy smell peculiar to dead fish.
But no one can ignore this piece of yellow silk, just because there are six big characters in bright red on it: "Shui Zexing, inherit the destiny of heaven!"
Wu Qing quietly glanced at the man in Tsing Yi and glanced at him, so the man in Tsing Yi got up and bowed to Wang Yunye and said, "I don't know what the big leader of the king means by letting us see this thing?"
Without waiting for Wang Yunye to answer, Leader Zhu, who had already secretly taken refuge in Yun Mengze, spoke: "Leader Zhang, isn't this obvious? Bright yellow has always been worn only by emperors, and only the Son of Heaven can use cinnabar as ink, which is called Zhu Pi. ”
"These two proverbs are even clearer, Shui Ze obviously refers to Yun Mengze, and Shui Ze Xing, inheriting the mandate of heaven is talking about the leader of the king inheriting the mandate of heaven and being the lord of the world!"
After speaking, he knelt on the ground and said to Wang Yunye: "Great chief, now that corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant in the world, so that the people are not able to make a living, so God warns and sends down the will of heaven."
"Since the great leader has inherited the mandate of heaven, he should obey the mandate of heaven, respond to the will of the people, overthrow this corrupt court, and return a bright and prosperous world to the world, so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment, and recreate a peaceful and prosperous world."
"Under the wish to lead the brothers under his command to join the great chief, let it go, there is no other word. I also believe that all the leaders here have the same thoughts as me. ”
Maybe he thought that this Zhu leader was doing well, Wang Yunye glanced at him approvingly, which made him work harder.
He said to the rest of the people, "What do you think of what you are talking about?" Can you have any objections? ”
Wu Qing's faces were not very good-looking, although everyone guessed that Wang Yunye was going to annex Zhuxiong this time, but now that the matter was in front of them, he couldn't help but look heavy.
In the end, it was the leader surnamed Zhang who was the first to speak: "We respect the person of the great leader Wang, but now with a few words on the silk cloth in front of us, we want us to bow down and be subordinate, doesn't the big leader feel a little too whimsical?"
Wang Yunye didn't get up, looked down at the people below, and said flatly: "What does the leader mean is unwilling?"
Leader Zhu once again acted as the vanguard and angrily reprimanded Leader Zhang: "Leader Zhang, don't be so ignorant of current affairs, although everyone claims to be the hegemon at the moment, in the final analysis, they are just mountain bandits and rogues, at best, they are just petty fights." It seems to be majestic, but maybe one day it will be exterminated by the officers and soldiers or die in the fire, what is the future? ”
He then said: "But now if you take refuge under the command of the big chief, it will be different, the big leader obeys the mandate of heaven, and now he is aiming to dominate the world, and he will definitely be invincible."
"When the world is decided in the future, you are all the elders and important ministers under the seat of the big chief, what is the way to pay homage to the prime minister? When the time comes, I will be crowned with a wife and a son, and the world will enjoy glory, and I can't say that I can't tell the future of my old Zhu at that time, and I will depend on everyone here! ”
Chief Zhu's clever tongue obviously spoke to the hearts of many people, and many people lowered their heads and secretly calculated the pros and cons of this matter.
Wu Qing saw the change in the attitude of many people, if he let him continue to talk, he was afraid that the situation would only become more unfavorable.
When things came to this point, he naturally couldn't sit idly by, and it was unrealistic to expect a rough person like Leader Zhang to refute Leader Zhu's words. If he wants to stabilize the current scene, he can only stand up by himself.
Unable to sit still, he smiled and said: "The great leader is destined to return, and he is naturally happy and convinced at the lower level." But after all, this matter is related to the life and death of all the brothers in the cottage, although he is called the lord of the cottage, he does not dare to make a decision, or let him go back to the mountain to discuss with the brothers and then give a reply to the big leader? ”
Wu Qing woke up the people in his dreams with a word, now that people are swords, I am fish and meat, even if they agree to take refuge in Yun Mengze, after they break up and reorganize all the people from all sides, and completely annex and digest them, what can they do if they regret themselves and others? It's not that they can only sit back and wait for death, but who else can get justice for them.
It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, instead of expecting Wang Yunye to be kind and keep his promises, it is better to return to the village, whether it is a battle or a surrender, as long as there are people and horses in his hands, he will not be swallowed up by anyone who has nothing left of the belt and bones.
So everyone chimed in: "What Leader Wu said is reasonable, we still have to go back to the mountain to discuss before deciding!"
Wang Yunye frowned slightly, and said with a gloomy face: "Everyone, everyone is a strong party, why can't you make your own decisions?"
"Since everyone says that it is difficult for them to make a decision for a while! Okay, I've got a luncheon here, so let's think about it and make a decision after dinner. ”
This is obviously Wang Yunye's ultimatum to everyone, if there are still people pushing back after the meal, I am afraid that it will be difficult to talk about this matter, and someone will have to spill blood on the spot.
Wang Yunye's words were not polite, but Wu Qing has the ambition to be a hero, in order to fight against Yun Mengze, he has been busy for so long, how can he be willing to sit still.
So one of the guards behind him suddenly said disdainfully: "Hmph! It's a good thing to say, it's not that I'm afraid that we will be uncontrollable when we go back, and they want to catch us all here! ”
was naked, and Wang Yunye's face turned blue.
Seeing this, Liao Guangpu slapped the table fiercely, and hurriedly reprimanded the man: "Nonsense, what kind of thing are you, everyone here is a hero, and you have to talk here!"
Seeing that the master was angry, Leader Zhu hurriedly stood up and said to Wang Yunye: "Please don't be angry, the subordinates have just entered Yunmengze, and they have not made an inch, and they are uneasy in their hearts." If the big leader can trust his subordinates, just leave the matter to his subordinates! ”
Wang Yunye's face softened slightly, and he nodded to Leader Zhu and said, "Since this is the case, this matter will trouble Leader Zhu!"
Leader Zhu smiled humbly: "My subordinates can't afford to be in trouble!" Please also rest assured that the subordinates have already surrendered to the big leader, and they will do their best and dare not slack off! ”
As soon as Leader Zhu returned to obedience, he claimed to be a subordinate, which was really unethical.
Therefore, everyone is not ashamed of Leader Zhu's personality on the surface, but it is unknown whether someone secretly envies Leader Zhu for taking the lead, and even regrets not standing in line in advance, leaving a good impression in front of Wang Yunye.
Leader Zhu didn't care about everyone's contempt, but just mocked Wu Qing: "Isn't Leader Wu even a subordinate good at managing it?" If it goes on like this, I can't say that I have to teach Chief Wu a lesson! ”
While speaking, Leader Zhu approached Wu Qing step by step.
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed the guard deep in the chest, followed by several stabs.
"Ahh You! Caught off guard, the guard only had time to let out a scream before he died.
