Chapter 150: The Decision of Grace

In the original Water Margin story, due to the subjective narrative perspective of the author Shi Lao, there are also reasons for double standards.

Most people will follow the perspective of the protagonist Wu Song, follow Wu Song's emotions, and feel that Shi En is a good person, while Jiang Menshen is an out-and-out villain.

The bad guys should be killed, so Wu Song drunk and beat Jiang Menshen, and Wu Song finally killed Jiang Menshen, and everyone felt very happy.

Jiang Menshen is naturally not a good bird, but compared with the father and son of grace, Jiang Menshen can only be regarded as a little villain, and this father and son are the out-and-out villains.

The evil of the father and son of grace was first embodied in the darkness of the Mengzhou prison camp (Anping Village).

Here, there is no shadow of the law at all, and officials such as the camp chap openly take property from prisoners, and this is fine, because almost all prisons and labor camps are like this, and Lin Chong, Song Jiang and others have also encountered this situation when they were serving their sentences.

But the Mengzhou prison camp is particularly dark, in order to extort money, so that these prisoners obediently obedient, become their slaves, Anpingzhai also invented such as "basin hanging (rolled and tied with a mat, plugged with seven orifices, upside down on the wall)" "dirt cloth bag (also tied on the ground, pressed a few sandbags on the body)" and other ruthless tricks that have no scars but are enough to kill people.

This is to deal with the most disobedient, or offended their thorns, directly killed;

Dealing with those who are obedient but have no money to pay respects, they are locked in prisons with large chains, so that they cannot live and die;

Only those who are obedient and send favors (silver or letters) can live like human beings, and even when they work under the sun in June, these prisoners feel like heaven and earth.

Shi En himself made it clear that he actually dominated the Happy Forest, and he specialized in collecting protection money, even if it was a passing girl, he had to come to see him first, pay the protection fee, and then allow them to do business.

And Shi En collected more protection fees than Jiang Menshen, after Wu Song helped Shi En recapture the Happy Forest, the book clearly wrote: "Since then, Shi En's purchase *** has usually increased by three or five cents of interest, and each store and each gambling house has exchanged shops, and Jia Li has sent spare money to Shi Grace."

This can be seen from the nickname of Shi'en, Jinyan Biao, Jinyan is talking about the gold that Shi'en values the most; Biao said that when a tiger gives birth to three sons, there must be a Biao, and Biao's temperament is the most ferocious.

Therefore, for such a person, Lin Chong really didn't believe that he could stick to his conscience and not harm Xu Ning under Gao Yu's coercion and temptation!

In Lin Chong's mind, from Shi En's sudden turn of face and not letting Zhang San's men go down to see Xu Ning, he could conclude that Shi En had made a decision.

And the reason why they haven't started it so far is probably because the two sides haven't negotiated the conditions yet, or Shi En is too experienced in doing things, and wants to get a little bit of Hu Chun and Li Yuhou and ask for more benefits.

Thinking about it, Lin Chong didn't have any good way, it seemed that the only way to do this was to break it directly, and take people directly to Shi En's house to forcibly save people, and maybe he could also make a miracle vigorously, and all problems would be solved.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a rush of footsteps outside, but it was Xiao Er who led Wu Song in.

Lin Chong saw that his face was angry, and at the same time he looked a little guilty, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, is there any situation?" ”

But seeing Wu Song's eyes full of anger, he said angrily: "Brother, that happy forest is indeed opened by the grace of Jinyan Biao, he is not in this happy forest now, but in the private house of Anping Village." ”

Lin Chong nodded, told him that he already knew, and asked, "Why is Erlang so angry?" ”

Wu Song told what had just happened, and it turned out that after he finished inquiring about the information, he immediately got on the horse and prepared to report to the Sifang Pavilion, but he didn't know that he had just come out of the Happy Lin Restaurant, and he saw several of Shi En's subordinates bullying a group of five or six girls who passed through the state.

Wu Song is a hot-blooded person, and he can't see this kind of bullying of the weak, so he stood by and listened for a while.

It turned out that this group of girls came to Happy Forest two days ago, there are many business travelers here, restaurants, inns, Shandong and Hebei merchants are here to do business, these girls are ready to come here to sell their arts, make a little money.

(To explain a little, the Song Dynasty was a dynasty of extreme elegance, not to mention literati, it was an ordinary businessman, and the landlord Lao Cai usually asked a few girls to sing a few songs to accompany the meal when he drank a little wine.)

For example, Jin Cuilian's father and daughter were preparing to take the exam to sell singing and repay Zheng Tu's money; For another example, Song Jiang went to a restaurant with Dai Zong and Li Kui in Jiangzhou, and also called a little girl to sing.

So the business of these girls is actually still performing arts, and those who sell meat are called prostitutes. )

According to the rules of the Happy Forest, these passing maids or other tricksters and sellers of strong pills must first come to see Shi En and pay the protection fee before they are allowed to do business.

But Shi En was not there for the past two days, and this group of women had no way to open the store, so they could only sit and eat empty, so a few bold people secretly went to various restaurants to sell and sing, and they were discovered by Shi En's subordinates.

Then they were dragged out into the street and beaten, while beating, these outlaw prisoners did not forget to take advantage of the mobile hands and feet, and the street was suddenly filled with screams and cries for mercy and the laughter of these prisoners.

This made Wu Song so angry that he couldn't help but make a move, and only beat the outlaw prisoners to cry and cry for his mother, and gave all the money to the gang of girls, so that they could leave this place early.

But after coming back, Wu Song thought that he was here to save people this time, but he was in trouble, and it was getting late, where could this group of girls get away for a while, if they waited for a few of them to finish their errands and leave, wouldn't they be burdened by themselves.

So Wu Song felt a little guilty again.

After listening to him, Lin Chong smiled and said: "The man walks straight in his heart, draws his sword to help when he sees the unevenness, hoes the strong and helps the weak, isn't it happy to walk for the sky." Since I have done it, I have no regrets.

Erlang, you came back just right, we set off immediately, go to Anping Village to save people, when you come back, by the way, what is the straight end of this gang of snakes? ”

Wu Song was overjoyed, and Lin Chong said to Zhang San again: "Brother Zhang, you should evacuate back to Tokyo immediately, and then hire a few big cars by the way, and if you can't hire them, you will spend a lot of money to buy them and send this group of girls away." ”

At that moment, Lin Chong and the others hurriedly changed their clothes, and after a while, they re-mounted their royal horses and went to the Mengzhou prison camp.

At this time, the private residence of Anping Zhai Guanying Mansion stretched Hu Chun and Li Yuhou for a few days in a row, and asked for enough benefits to Shi En father and son, and finally decided to attack Xu Ning at this time.

At this time, at dinner time, on the wine table, Shi En's father and son glanced at each other, and they couldn't hide their joy in their eyes, so they saw Shi En smile and said, "Brother, please drink this cup again!" ”
