Everyone walked five or six miles, came to a high hill under the village, only to see a few cattle and sheep on the hill, but in the pond in front of the courtyard there are flocks of geese and ducks.

Mu Hong led everyone through the front yard, invited everyone to a pavilion in the backyard, and said with a smile: "Before, I saw that Brother Gongming only ate some indiscriminately on the side of the road, but when I came to my village, I had to entertain him again." Take advantage of the coolness, and I myself will command them. Mu Chun, you talk to a few brothers. ”

So saying, he walked away quickly.

Song Jiang looked at Mu Hong's footsteps like the wind, and couldn't help laughing: "This Mu Hong brother is a person with a fast surname." ”

Chao Yong saw that Mu Chun was still standing, and said with a smile: "You can sit too, we just don't know each other, we are all good men, and the previous matter will be revealed." ”

Mu Chun hugged his fists with everyone in embarrassment before sitting down.

Chao Yong doubted: "I have also heard of the harm of this flower stone gang, and I heard that many people in Jiangnan have died because of this, and the people are not happy. I'm afraid you don't get enough money from the merchants, right? ”

Mu Chun nodded and said, "Well, there is an endless stream of ships transporting Huashigang on the Xunyang River, and there will be money and grain and Ding servants sent down every few days. The merchants in the town only charge 100 yuan a month, how can they be. Originally, there were a few big families in the town to share, but after a long time, everyone couldn't bear it, and a few families had already moved away, leaving a heavier burden. You see, there were originally herds of cattle and sheep on my mountain, but now there are only a few left, and the rest have slaughtered the officials who entertained and escorted Hua Shigang, just to let them share some less money and food, and errand labor. ”

Chao Yong wondered, "Then why don't you apportionment some to the people in the town?" ”

Mu Chun smiled bitterly: "I haven't thought about it, it's just that this Huashigang not only appoints money and grain, but also apportions Ding Servants." The ten of the ** of this Ding service have gone and have no return, and the people in the town have gone out of the Ding service, and the money and grain should naturally be shared by the big households. ”

"It's a shame to say that although we are not afraid of death, we are not willing to die in vain, so we have to replace the servants with money and food. Just because when the flower stone gang encounters inconvenient traffic sections, it has to be carried by manpower, regardless of the hot weather, heat, rain, snow, wind and frost, they have to grit their teeth and endure it, struggle to move forward, and if there is a slight disagreement, they will be severely beaten by the officials. The people could only stay in the wilderness, basking in the night dew, and being attacked by the cold, heat, wind and frost. Half of Ding Da Da who went to serve died on the way, so people avoided him like snakes and scorpions. ”

Ruan Xiaoqi heard this and shouted: "You are also cowardly, after your cattle and sheep are slaughtered, what will you take to entertain the officials." According to me, your brother and we went to Liangshan to gather righteousness, kill corrupt officials and save the people, that is what a good man does. ”

When Mu Chun heard this, he said with a look of surprise: "Brother Mo is a good man in Liangshan?" ”

Chao Yong saw that Ruan Xiaoqi had missed something, so he also hugged his fists and said: "It's not that we deliberately hide it, there are many people, and it is inconvenient to use names." I am Chao Yong, the little overlord of Liangshan, and he is the living Yama Ruan Xiaoqi. ”

When Mu Chun heard this, he immediately knelt down and said, "Recently, all the things about the rivers and lakes are the deeds of the little overlord, and Mu Chun's ears have been grinding out of calluses." I don't want to meet today, please brother must take me into the gang, and I want to be a good man for heaven like you. ”

Chao Yong looked at Mu Chun and was a little helpless, this is a big child, the concept of good and evil has not been formed, I am afraid that all he wants is to be a good man, if he agrees to him, I am afraid that he will be suspected of abduction.

Mu Chun saw that Chao Yong didn't speak, and hurriedly said: "I said that I was reckless in the town today, I will kowtow to you and admit my mistake, please take me up the mountain." ”

Chao Yong hurriedly stopped Mu Chun and said, "Hurry up, I'll talk about this matter with your brother." ”

While speaking, Mu Hong had also returned, and when he saw the appearance of the two of them, he shouted: "Mu Chun, what are you doing?" ”

Mu Chun was yelled at by Mu Hong, couldn't help but shudder, and turned around and said, "I'm visiting Brother Liangshan Xiaobawang." ”

Mu Hong heard that Chao Yong was the little overlord of Liangshan, and he couldn't help but be stunned, his steps slowed down, walked to him, hugged his fists and said: "It turned out that it was the little overlord in person, and Mu Hong was rude and hoped to forgive his sins." ”

Everyone saw the ceremony again, Ruan Xiaoqi spoke quickly, and said: "Just now Mu Chun said that he wanted to go to Liangshan with us, I don't know what Brother Mu Hong thinks?" ”

When Mu Hong heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Mu Chun.

When Mu Chun saw his brother looking at him again, he couldn't help but hide behind Chao Yong in fright.

Seeing this, Chao Yong couldn't help but smile and said: "Mu Chunxin's surname is undecided, it's just a joke, and it can't be taken seriously." ”

Mu Hong thought for a while and said: "Liangshan Haojie does the way for the sky, who in the rivers and lakes of my generation does not yearn for it, but there is still an old father at home, and I am afraid that he will not be able to stay away from his homeland." Just wait for Mu Hong to serve his father for the rest of his life, and then Mu Hong will inevitably lead his brothers to get together with all the heroes. ”

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Look at you are also a man, how can you be such a mother-in-law." There are so many cattle and sheep left that can send the government a few times. When your cattle and sheep are slaughtered, your brother should go and move the flowers. ”

Mu Hong smiled bitterly: "Presumably Mu Chun told you, during the Chongning period, Suzhou set up a bureau to start transporting this flower and stone gang, at first I thought it would be only a few years, and the emperor would build the palace." Unexpectedly, more than ten years have passed, but this flower stone gang is getting bigger and bigger. I'm about to see the bottom of my family's fortunes, but I don't know when I'll be able to do it. It's a shame to say that although my brother also saved some people in Jieyang Town, the upper and lower villages and towns hate my brother to the core. Just because the official mission has less to pay for in Jieyang Town, I have to make up for it in other places, and I don't know how many people in other villages and towns have died because of this. I don't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong, and many times, I want to escape from this place, and it has nothing to do with this flower stone gang. ”

Chao Yong didn't expect Mu Hong to think so far-reaching, when the disaster came, everyone thought about protecting themselves and their families, and how could they take care of others. It's like Chao Gai and others robbed the birth gang and fell into the grass, how can they take care of how many people who are public and are punished for this.

"I visited Tokyo once last year, but the construction of Gendake is only half completed, and I am afraid that this flower stone will continue for many years. It's not that I'm going to lure you into the grass, if your family's wealth has been dispersed, it's better to leave early, it's better than the end of the family. ”

When Mu Hong heard this, he couldn't help but doubt: "This Huashi Gang has been more than ten years old, why did Gen Yue only build a small half?" ”

Chao Yong shook his head and said, "When I was in Bianjing, I also inquired a little. The emperor painted with a royal brush, Gen Yue painted nearly 1,000 acres, and there were naturally a lot of strange flowers and stones needed. Then there are corrupt officials who take power, and many flowers and stones have been intercepted by them, and the construction period of Genyue is naturally getting longer and longer. And there are always more bizarre flowers and stones to send, the emperor looked at the backward, and felt that the front was unsatisfactory, and discarded I don't know how much. ”

Mu Hong said angrily: "I am waiting for the people to struggle, just waiting for Genyue to be built, how do I know that those people in Tokyo do not care for us at all." ”

Speaking of qi, Mu Hong slapped the stone table hard.

"Smack"

With a crisp sound, the stone table in the pavilion was torn apart by Mu Hong's palm.

Everyone couldn't help but get up and take shelter.

Seeing this, Mu Hong hurriedly hugged his fists and apologized.

Seeing that his brother was angry, Mu Chun plucked up his courage and said, "Brother, the left and right are dead, why don't we follow the little overlord to Liangshan." ”

Mu Hong paused, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists: "That's it, this turbid world has no head, and I ask the little overlord to bring the contract." ”

Chao Yong didn't expect to say something, but he actually said that Mu Hong was moved, and said happily: "Okay, Brother Mu Hong is such a hero, he is a leader who goes up the mountain and is also a leader." ”
