Chapter 78: Benevolence and Righteousness are Famous, and Everyone Expects to Return
The second thief was in charge, and the young woman Sun Jiao cried: "Engong, I admire you for your great benevolence and righteousness. I will never forget your great kindness. I don't want this to happen now, it's all my fault. Grace Gong, I am ashamed of you, and I deserve death for my humiliation. I beseech mercy to grant me a death, to give me a remnant of my life, and to atone my sins. ”
Yan You, the big boss, saw Sun Jiao's eyes blazing at him, his heart jumped, and his face was full of bitterness. The secret passage seems to have gone too far, and it was unexpected.
"Eun Gong?"
Wang Mang was helped up by Sun Jiao, and when he heard the words, he suddenly seemed to be at a loss for words.
Sun Jiao saw Wang Mang showing a puzzled look, and explained in a choked tone: "Engong, you don't remember me, it's because you have helped too many people. But I will never forget Engong, because you saved my life.
Two and a half months ago, my father and I led a team of men to Xinxiang County, intending to intercept corrupt officials and recover the money that had been stolen from the disaster relief officials. Unexpectedly, the plan was uncovered, and we were chased and killed by officers and soldiers, and my father and I were seriously injured.
During the war, my father and I escaped and became a substitute among the fleeing people. At that time, my father's injuries worsened, but you only asked me where I came from, just looking at the line between my life and death, you gave me food, clothing, money and goods, and asked Miss Shangguan to heal my father's injuries.
Although my father did not survive in the end, he died half a month ago. But you finally reached out at that pinch. It allowed my father to live a little longer, and it also made me survive for a long time.
After you left, I went around to find out where you came from, and I didn't want to meet you like this today. I wanted to thank Eun Gong immediately, but I had evil thoughts and wanted to test you. Engong, this matter is all my fault, and please give me a death, otherwise what face will I have to go to see my father under the Nine Springs? ”
"What? Have I rescued you? I don't remember that. Wang Mang was stunned.
"Engong, I am only one of the countless people you have rescued. Among the crowd, it is like a drop in the ocean. Sun Jiao replied.
"I see!" Wang Mang nodded and said, "Since you are the second master here, can you make the decision and not be embarrassed by us, let me wait for tomorrow morning to lead the crowd over?" ”
"I'm just going to do this, otherwise how can I repay the great kindness of the Grace Gong?" Sun Jiao turned to Yan You and said angrily: "Okay, you Yan You, I just told you that Lord Wang Mang is my benefactor, you can only test the benevolence of Engong slightly at most, and then let Engong and the others leave, don't be rude." Now that you are persecuting him in this way, I will not stand with you. ”
"This ....."
Military advisors Wang Xun and Wang Jingyan and others were dumbfounded, but they were unexpected.
Especially Wang Xun, he admired Wang Mang even more, and secretly thought to himself: "This is really good and good, and evil is rewarded." Lord Wang behaves with kindness, treats people with sincerity, and treats the people well, but today he also gets good results. I am able to assist such masters, but it is also my blessing that I have studied the books of the sages for ten years in vain. ”
"Second sister, I...."
Yan You's face was full of shame, since the moment Wang Mang knelt down, he had a kind of psychology derived from the feeling of being ashamed of the people in the world, and he was ashamed to see people.
Now that he is accused by Sun Jiao, he is even more eager to find a hole to get into, and his face is flushed.
He thought that if Wang Mang really agreed to the request, he was ready to kneel down and kowtow. Then hold Wang Mang in time and prevent Wang Mang from really kneeling.
If Wang Mang does not agree to the request, then it means that Wang Mang is hypocritical. Then he directly forced and snatched the silver taels.
However, unexpectedly, he was distracted at that time and did not stop Wang Mang in time, so that Wang Mang really fell to his knees.
Now that I think about it, I regret it.
Yan Youpan has led the crowd to stand in the Iron Cage Mountain for many years, and is known as the wind of benevolence and righteousness. He robbed the rich and helped the poor, and did chivalrous and righteous things. After hearing what Wang Mang had done before, in addition to admiration, he also had some doubts.
Wang Mang wants to be rich and powerful. Even if you want a woman, you can get thousands of yellow flower girls who are captivating the country and the city at any time, just like an emperor.
Now he put down his glory and dignity, and knelt down to beg for some irrelevant people, which immediately made Yan You's doubts disappear and he was completely convinced.
"My husband is acting like this, why am I embarrassed?"
Yan You sighed in his heart, took a step forward, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed to Wang Mang.
Then, without waiting for Wang Mang to speak, he knelt down and bowed to the ground and said: "Lord Wang, just now a certain family was rude, and he collided with the majesty of the adult, and asked the lord to surrender." ”
"Oh, you can't do that. Yan You, get up quickly! Wang Mang helped Yan You up and chuckled: "I know Yingchuan Luoyang Mountain, and now Chen Shou of Luoyang Mountain has come to join you, which shows that you are also a real chivalrous warrior." What happened just now was all a misunderstanding, but it can be revealed, and there is no need to remember it. Otherwise, if there are too many distracting thoughts in my heart, won't it only increase my troubles? ”
Yan You said angrily: "Lord Wang has a lot, and a certain family is really inferior." It is the way of the true king to be a true king.
I occupy the mountain as the king, act as a rogue, although robbing the rich and helping the poor, but I can't get on the stage, it is the style of a villain. I once wished to follow a master to fight on the battlefield and calm the chaos in the world.
My lord, a certain family has just made a big mistake, and the crime is unforgivable. If the adults are willing to accept it, a certain family is willing to submit to the adult's account, make up for the merits, and obey the adult's dispatch. If an adult dislikes the origin of a certain family and is unwilling to accept it, a certain family will not force it. ”
"You're serious, you're serious." Wang Mang replied: "Yan You, you tried me, and your intentions were good, not deliberately embarrassing. As for coming to my account, you should think twice about it. Don't do anything that goes against your original intention because of a moment of guilt. ”
"My lord, my heart of obedience, the sun and the moon can be seen, the heaven and the earth can be expressed, and I hope that the adult will be fulfilled." Yan Youdao.
"I am also willing to submit to the account of Lord Shun!" The thief Chen Shou also spoke: "Lord Wang, we will occupy the mountain as the king, although it is said that it is to rob the rich and help the poor. But for the overall situation of the world, it is of no use at all.
Your Excellency, you are in a high position of power, and you are capable of fighting against the ambitious princes. I am willing to submit to your account, sword the traitors, kill the ministers, step on the foreign power, and restore the mountains and rivers. ”
"This..."
Wang Mang frowned and pondered, and after a while, he asked again, "Do you regret it?" Once under my account, the military order is like a mountain that cannot be disobeyed, and from then on life and death will be in the field, and the soul will return to the destiny of heaven. ”
"Die without regrets!" Yan You and Chen Shou said in unison.
Wang Mang nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I will fulfill you." When you return to Yuzhou, you can start training your soldiers and horses to expand your strength. Wait for the opportunity to overcome the strong and calm the war in Kyushu. ”
"Yes, sir!" The two of them were overjoyed and shouted to the many bandits behind them: "Brothers, from now on, we are no longer the bandits who everyone shouts and kills, but the soldiers under the account of Lord Wang.
All brothers have heard of the great name of the king, and he is a true man of righteousness. It is our blessing that we can serve under the king's account, and it is a clear path that Heaven has shown us. From now on, if we follow Lord Wang, we will definitely be able to contribute to the country, protect the family for the people, make meritorious contributions, and conquer the barbarians. ”
"Lord Wang...."
"Lord Wang...."
"Lord Wang...."
Hundreds of bandits danced and cheered in unison, shouting and excited.
Wang Mang and Wang Jingyan glanced at each other, and they both saw relief in each other's eyes.
