Five, thirty-seven, stealing the country and stealing chickens
Fang La finally arrived in Haizhou, but instead of fleeing to Haizhou by himself as he imagined, he was escorted here by a prisoner car. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the way to Haizhou, there were at least four attempts by the Manichaeans to hijack the prisoner cart, but of course they failed, and the escort never concealed the escort's itinerary, and even used this itinerary to deliberately lure out some latent Manichaeans and eradicate them.
So the journey was very slow, and it took him a full month before he arrived in Haizhou.
At this time, it was already March of the so-called second year of Jingkang, thinking of this time, Fang La's face was mocking, and he didn't know how long Jingkang's name could last.
About the time when the Great Song Dynasty perishes, this era name will also end.
He had been to Haizhou City, and when the relationship between Manichaeism and Zhou Quan was still good, he sneaked here secretly in order to observe Zhou Quan's style up close.
It's just that as he has observed many times before, when he thinks he has seen through Zhou Quan, something unexpected will always happen.
Take this battle, for example.
Fang La pondered for a long time, and then affirmed that he had been fooled.
Haizhou is a little different from the situation he came to before, and it is more prosperous. It is said that because this place was designated as a special city by Zhou Quan, and was not included in the two provinces of Shandong and Huaibei, it was rumored that if Zhou Quan decided to establish the new dynasty, this place would become the capital of the new dynasty.
Although there are old-fashioned scholars who think that it is impossible, Haizhou has no background in the capital, and there are people who know feng shui muttering that this place is not suitable for the capital, and there are people who are familiar with the art of war who think that Haizhou has no danger to defend and the country should not be here, but the rumor that Haizhou will be the capital still spreads.
As a result, the world's wealthy businessmen, especially the major chambers of commerce, have purchased land near Haizhou to build a large number of buildings.
So what Fang La saw was such a very busy Haizhou.
When his prisoner car passed through the street, there were also people watching, originally Fang La thought that everywhere he went, there must be thousands of onlookers, who knew that the people who watched were in twos and threes, even if they knew his identity, few people said anything.
This surprised him, and he couldn't help but ask the escorted sergeant, and the escorted sergeant grinned: "What are you, even the Emperor Taishang has seen it here, and you still care about you?" ”
This sentence hit Fang La very hard, he had always considered himself an important person in this country, but the words of the guard sergeant made him realize that he was still just a small person in the hearts of most people after all.
Even if his head is worth 50,000 silver yuan, even if he once set off a huge wave in Jiangnan, but after being captured, he is an ordinary thief.
No, it won't be like this, he is the Holy Father of the Holy Sect, the Emperor of Yongle, how can he be just a little thief?
Fang La had no intention of being spared at this time, so he began to think about the name behind him.
Escorted into a heavily guarded building, food was brought in, simple but hot. After Fang La finished eating silently, he saw a person appear in front of the door.
Ji Chun looked at him and smiled slightly: "Fang Shenggong, I really have admired him for a long time." ”
"Who are you?" Fang La felt that this face was a little unfamiliar, so he asked.
"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is to ask Fang Shenggong to answer me a few questions."
Ji Chun's first question was about Faceless, who Faceless was, and who was the revenge, which had always troubled Zhou Quan's intelligence system.
At first, Ji Chun speculated that Faceless should be Fang Hao, the second son of Fang La, who escaped from Jeju Island. However, the people who were later sent to Jin Guo to inquire about the news, as well as the confession obtained from Wu Qimai, all pointed out that that Faceless had appeared by Wushu's side very early, and at that time, Fang Hao was still idle in Jeju.
But who else is so familiar with Jeju besides Fang Hao?
The identity of the faceless face, even Wu Qimai doesn't know, Ah Guda may know, but this guy has never spoken, and his body is not good, so he can't be tortured like Wu Qimai, so he has never confessed.
Now that Fang La has been captured, Ji Chun feels that Fang La should know who the faceless revenge is.
Hearing Ji Chun's inquiry, Fang La's face showed a smile: "You will never find out who he is...... Faceless, revenge, you can't find out! ”
Ji Chun was not surprised by this answer, he ignored it, and then asked the second question: "Is Zhong Xiang's entry into Sichuan assigned by you?" ”
Zhong Xiang was also the leader of Manichaeism, but he had always been active in the Hunan and Hubei regions until a few years ago, when he suddenly left his hometown and entered Sichuan, rapidly expanding his influence, and the source of his financial resources when he entered Sichuan in the early days has always been a mystery.
Fang La did not hide this question: "After Chen Shishi died, I began to influence Zhong Xiang and let him enter Sichuan, and he did a very good job. ”
"It's really very good, two years ago or three years ago, he drove away the people you sent to him, and he controlled the Chuan Nei Demon Sect himself, becoming the de facto leader of the Sichuan Inner Demon Sect, maybe it's because of this that you won't hide the news related to him, right?" Ji Chun smiled.
Fang La was silent for a while, then nodded: "You're right, since I have already been defeated, and he has betrayed me, why should I make him better?" ”
Ji Chun nodded, and then asked the third question: "When did you collude with the Jin people, and what were the channels of the collusion, you can not answer this question, but let me remind you in advance, we have already obtained a confession from the Jin people, and we have also received a lot of news from your henchmen. ”
Fang La began to be silent again.
This time he didn't answer, Ji Chun sighed twice, and he wasn't going to ask any more.
This guy is obviously stubborn, and he knows that he will not be spared, so he will be like this.
But just when he got up and wanted to go out, his face was stunned, because Zhou Quan appeared in front of him.
Zhou Quan has not returned to Jeju since the outbreak of the Jin People's Betrayal Alliance and the Battle of Yan last year, and this time because of some aftermath matters, he is preparing to go to Jeju, so he will appear here.
He and Ji Chun nodded, and after walking in, they pursed their lips lightly and looked at Fang La.
Fang La also looked at him.
Originally, Fang La thought that when he saw Zhou Quan again, he must be full of anger and hatred, and when Zhou Quan saw himself, he should also be full of hatred, but when he really saw Zhou Quan, he found that he didn't have much anger.
Zhou Quan didn't have any anger, his face was calm, and he nodded to him: "It's been famous for a long time, this is the first time I've seen Sect Leader Fang, are you still comfortable living here, if you have any needs, just say what you want, what books you want to read, or what you want to eat, you can mention it." ”
Fang La was stunned for a moment, and then said boldly: "I want to read the Donghai Business Daily." ”
There was a lot of the latest news in the Donghai Business Daily, and Fang Ladu was used to collecting information about Zhou Quan and the guards through the Donghai Business Daily.
"Send him a copy of the East China Sea Business Daily every day." Zhou Quan instructed Ji Chun.
Ji Chun responded, and then Zhou Quan turned to Fang La: "There is one thing, please cooperate with me, this Demon Sect rebellion, after all, is a major event, you recall the incident, I will send someone to write it down, you can rest assured, all according to what you said, do not change a word, and keep it for future generations, thinking that it is a historical reference." ”
"You...... You're not afraid that I'll scold you? Fang La was surprised.
"There are many people who want to scold me, so why not have you?" Zhou Quan smiled.
The laughter was calm, but Fang La was annoyed. He heard disdain and contempt from Zhou Quan's laughter, which made him very indignant, could it be said that he had struggled for fifty years, and everything he worked hard for, he was not even qualified to be criticized by Zhou Quan?
"You know that many people scold you, but you are just a thief like me!"
Ji Chun's brows trembled, and a cold aura came out, and at that moment, he thought of dozens of punishments, each of which could make Fang La regret that he was born into this world.
Zhou Quan was calm, just waiting for Fang La to scold for a while, he asked, "How do you feel about being caught by a group of woodcutters, salt sellers, and fishermen?" ”
"Huh?"
"You thought you were asking for your life, but you were caught by such a group of people and given to me, just like a chicken thief was caught. Do you consider yourself a thief? Sorry, the people don't think so, they still think you're a chicken thief, at most more than a chicken thief who is only worth five dollars. ”
Zhou Quan was still very calm when he said this, and after he finished speaking, he didn't care what Fang La responded, just nodded to him, turned around and left again.
Zhou Quan didn't have any rudeness, except that his words were a little harsh.
Fang La lost his soul and felt that his life seemed to have no meaning.
He knew very well why Zhou Quan emphasized that he was a chicken thief, because before he made his fortune, he used to work as a domestic servant for people with the same surname in the same village, and he was humiliated for stealing his chickens. After that, he angrily turned to Manichaeism, and it took decades before he had the previous momentum.
But these decades...... It's just to make yourself worth a little higher, a chicken thief, still a chicken thief!
"Wait a minute, Zhou Quan, don't you want to know what I did, don't you want to understand how I colluded with the Jin people, don't you want to know ......"
When he came back to his senses, Fang La shouted behind Zhou Quan, but Zhou Quan ignored it and still just left.
Even his footsteps didn't stop, as if in his mind, what Fang La said was just a preparation made by the chicken thief, insignificant.
Fang La screamed hoarsely, but he still didn't call Zhou Quan. He could only look blankly at the place where Zhou Quan's figure disappeared, muttering words that no one could hear clearly.
Ji Chun's eyebrows drooped, smacked his lips, and then turned around to leave, but his pace was deliberately slow, and sure enough, after only a few steps, Fang La stopped him: "Hey...... Stop, didn't you just ask me three questions, and I answered them all, and I said them all...... I have only one request, everything I said, you have to change it word for word, and present it to Zhou Gong in its entirety! ”
Ji Chun tilted his head and looked at him for a while: "Is this necessary?" ”
"After reading it, I didn't believe it, he still thought I was a chicken thief!" Fang La's eyes were bloodshot, panting like a cow.
The leopard died and the man died and his name was left, he had done what he should have done, and he had enjoyed what he should have enjoyed, so he didn't want to be recorded in history as an inconsequential chicken thief. (To be continued.) )
