Chapter 1413: Things Happen for a Reason

readx; Yang Tinglin's words made Liu Guoneng red-faced. In fact www.biquge.info he also understood the meaning of Yang Tinglin's words: if there were no thieves like them, both the court and the people would be much better.

However, Liu Guoneng still admires Yang Tinglin very much. First, because before he became a thief, he was a post man at a post station, and he had seen many officials, big and small, and none of them didn't like to spend time drinking, and it was the first time he had seen an official like Yang Tinglin. The second is because Yang Tinglin came here alone today, which can be described as "going deep into the tiger's den", in this case, their gang toasted, Yang Tinglin actually did not give face, which shows his character.

However, some of Liu Guoneng's subordinates are very useless in their hearts. One of them, Liu Guogang, who is also Liu Guoneng's brother, muttered dissatisfiedly: "A little six-grade master, what is the spirit!" Not to mention the sixth grade, even the guerrilla prefect of the fourth grade and the fifth grade had to pee his pants in fright when he saw Lao Tzu! Toast without eating and eating and drinking..."

Liu Guoneng heard Liu Guogang muttering, afraid that he would do something bad, so he quickly glared at him fiercely, and then turned to Yang Tinglin and smiled: "Lord Yang is responsible, I will order someone to withdraw from the table." You guys step down first, I have something important to discuss with Lord Yang. ”

Although Liu Guogang and others were reluctant, they did not dare to disobey Liu Guoneng's order, so they had to withdraw from the account and listen to the letter. Liu Guoneng gave a new salute to Yang Tinglin, and said with feeling: "Tell Lord Yang a heart-wrenching word, if every official can be like Lord Yang, and have the society and the people in his heart all the time, the criminals will not come to this point!" ”

Then he complained to Yang Tinglin. It turned out that Liu Guoneng was a native of Qingjian County, Shaanxi, and like Li Zicheng, he was also born as a post soldier. Although the imperial court did not allocate much money directly to the post station, all localities would apportionment the post station expenses to the local people. Although the post guard is nominally a conscription, but he can also receive a salary from the post station, although it is not much, but it is enough to support the family, compared to ordinary farmers who rely on the weather to eat, this can ensure the harvest in drought and flood, and it is a good errand.

Originally, Liu Guoneng was also an honest person, although the state affairs were difficult during the Apocalypse, and the post station was also in arrears from time to time, but he could still deal with it. Unexpectedly, one year the county came to Xinzhi County, this person is a typical nerd, who doesn't know anything about people's livelihood, but he wants to make some political achievements to be promoted as soon as possible. At that time, the county's political performance was nothing more than a test of money and food, and the county magistrate set his sights on the post station that spent a lot of money, and forcibly asked the post station to reduce its expenses by half.

Sun Ke has no hatred, Sun Hates the cold art of combat skills

The post station in Qingjian County is under the management of the county, and this county, like most local low-level officials, has also been a county official for generations, and its influence in the county is actually greater than that of the county. Although he can't provoke the magistrate, he has always been arrogant in the county, changing the law and committing fraud. By reducing the funds of the post station, he told the following: if the current post man wants to keep his errand, he must "honor" him.

In order to keep his job, Liu Guoneng had to go to the county Cheng's house to "honor" the silver taels. However, his family did not have much money to spare, and in order to win the sympathy of the county prince, he also asked his newly married wife to go with him. Unexpectedly, when the county saw that Liu Guoneng's wife was quite attractive, he suddenly had a bad heart, pretended to perfunctory Liu Guoneng, and turned around to deliberately find fault, fabricate charges, and put Liu Guoneng in prison, asking him to be a capital crime.

The ship is not cool, and then hates to fight alone

Liu Guoneng was suddenly wronged, and he didn't know what was going on at first, so he tried his best to ask the people to fight up and down. Later, someone who understood told him: It's the county Cheng's mother-in-law, and after you die, the county will naturally make it easier. If you want to survive, it is better to ask your mother-in-law to beg the county, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

As the saying goes: the hatred of killing one's father and taking one's wife is not shared. No matter how honest Liu Guoneng is, he was also furious at this time, and with the help of his clansmen, he smashed the prison and killed the county Cheng with a knife. The county is an official of the imperial court, killing an official is a rebellion, and Liu Guoneng has nowhere to redress his grievances, so he really rebelled.

The enemy is far away, the ghost enemy hates Mo Lonely

At the beginning, Liu Guoneng also had the intention of killing all the corrupt officials, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and he could strictly restrain his subordinates. But as there were more and more subordinates, in order to survive, he slowly became like other thieves, and everywhere he went was like locusts crossing the border, and Liu Guoneng also got the nickname of "Breaking into the Sky". Liu Guoneng could talk about all kinds of nonsense of his subordinates at first, and then he turned a blind eye. In retrospect, when the rebellion began, it was indeed a great ambition to relieve the people from hanging upside down; However, what he has done for many years has not only failed to relieve the people of their suspense, but has caused the people to have a difficult life, and they often feel uneasy in their conscience when they ask themselves in the dead of night. Speaking of emotion, Liu Guoneng couldn't help crying.

Yang Tinglin was also very touched when he heard this, and sighed and said: "In this way, General Liu ** is a thief for a reason, which is the so-called 'official coercion and people rebellion'. Such corrupt officials and ink officials, concealing the court and bullying the people, are no less harmful to the community than foreign insults, and they really should be killed! However, after the current saint ascended the throne, he was determined to seek governance, especially to refresh the rule of local officials, so he would admit 6,000 jinshi in an enke, and most of them would be assigned to the local government to be the county lord and the official who kept close to the people. As long as there is no chaos in the world, there will be results within a few years, and those corrupt officials who prey on the common people will be severely punished. The general is now righteous anyway, and it is the right time, and the good is great! ”

After this in-depth conversation, the relationship between the two has also become much closer, and they are finally going to talk about the most substantive issues. Liu Guoneng no longer hesitated, he said that he really wanted to be obedient, but because Hong Chengchou indiscriminately killed first, especially even the old and weak women and children, it had a very bad impact. Many thieves think that surrendering is a dead end anyway, and it is better to resist to the end. Although Liu Guoneng is the leader, he can't ignore everyone's opinions.

This time he was assigned to attack Pizhou, and in order to get his subordinates to agree to surrender, he deliberately brought his troops to Luoma Lake. This place was almost a Jedi during the battle, as long as the officers and soldiers blocked the passage with the outside world, they didn't even have to fight, and when the weather warmed up and the ice and snow melted, tens of thousands of people would have to drown. Now the whole battalion also knows that Lu Xiangsheng has personally led elite troops to help, and because of the strength of the official army and his own difficulties, even Liu Guogang and others, who were most opposed to surrender, had to reluctantly agree to surrender. For Liu Guoneng, if he can't surrender, then his team will be finished, which can be regarded as a disguised "shipbreaker".

After the ground, the moon is revealed

Of course, Yang Tinglin understood what Liu Guoneng meant, and he had already thought about how to answer. He said solemnly: "General Liu, the Holy Lord has a will for this. As long as you are sincere and obedient, take the initiative to disarm, no matter who you are, no matter what you have done in the past, you will not die! ”
