Chapter 104: Liu Shang
Liu Shang was originally just a talent who was familiar with the way of Confucius and Mencius, but he landed one after another and suffered from the white eyes.
In the late Qing Dynasty, there were many people like Liu Shang, one was obsessed with the imperial examination, and in the end his family was ruined, and his wife was separated.
But Liu Shang is different, in the late Qing Dynasty, he has enough reasons to convince himself of the reasons why he can't pass the imperial examination, and these reasons seem to really exist, he who has been humiliated by others, never thinks that he is not knowledgeable enough, but because of the imperial court!
In Liu Shang's heart, his own fall was due to the fact that the late Qing Dynasty court was in the hands of some powerful ministers, constantly carried out reforms, abandoned the way of Confucius and Mencius, and learned some fallacies and heresies, which led to his repeated gold lists.
Therefore, there was always a hatred in Liu Shang's heart, that is, the hatred of the revolutionaries in Beiyang and the south, it was these people who broke his family and separated his wife, and after that, he positioned himself as a loyal royalist.
But in the Chinese world at this time, where is there still a royalist market? Yes, who can feel the fiery heart of Liu Shang, a broken scholar who has repeatedly landed? ! Coupled with the fact that the neighbors looked at the disgusting braid that Liu Shang had been coiling on his head, that kind of weird look made him unable to stand this kind of stimulation all the time.
Later, Liu Shang really couldn't stay at home, it was worth leaving home, but he didn't give up, in order to prove his loyalty to the Qing government, he once personally visited his county officials, but every time he was coldly refused, and even once he was beaten by Xu officials, which can be described as sweeping the floor.
After encountering the wall many times, Liu Shang couldn't help but feel disheartened, so he thought of the idea of becoming a monk, but he was a person who didn't hear anything outside the window, and he couldn't even figure out where there was a monk temple.
However, it is not surprising that Liu Shang, who has always thought he is a little smart, has his own Yan Ruyu in the book, has his own golden house in the book, and naturally has his own monk temple in the book.
So, Liu Shang began to drill into the depths of the barren mountains and forests, trying to find the ancient temple in the deep mountains mentioned in the book, isn't that what the book says? Dafan famous temples are located in the mountains.
Maybe it's not very lucky, maybe it's the wrong way, it's more likely that the famous temple is not in this mountain, anyway, Liu Shang, who has never doubted the book in the book, is very sad that he didn't see any ancient temples in the deep mountains, but he has seen a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants.
After a long time, Liu Shang began to despair, for this reason, Liu Shang one night, to the moon trombone, sighed that the sky is going to kill me, and then fainted on the ground, I don't know who happened, and almost went to the west to see the Buddha.
But God didn't kill him this time, and when Liu Shang woke up, he found that he had entered a den of thieves!
At that time, Henan, after several wars and famines, can be described as miserable and miserable, bandits and bandits are everywhere, and after the local government exterminates a wave, there will be more of them.
In addition, the two years have been bad, and it is even more chaotic, and even later, the government is powerless to do anything about it, so it can only let it go and guard its own towns.
And the wave of people who rescued Liu Shang was a subordinate led by Liu Mazi, who was still Liu Shang's family five hundred years ago, but it was not out of any love to save Liu Shang, it was really Liu Shang's body bones were too thin, there were not a few taels of meat, even if they were steamed and eaten, it seemed that they were a little unpalatable.
Therefore, Liu Shang survived by luck and became a slave of this group of people from then on. Those bandits also enjoyed the addiction of the children of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Dynasty, especially Liu Shang still had a pig's tail on the back of his head, and he felt more comfortable enjoying it.
After Liu Shang knew his situation, he initially wanted to uphold the teachings of the sage, and would rather die than obey the will of the thief, but when Liu Mazi took out the bright knife, he had to put the teachings of the sage in the back of his mind, isn't there another sentence, called "Heaven will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds and work their muscles and bones...... Estimate the current situation, but as the sage said, it should be the suffering before the great responsibility.
Thinking about it this way, this Liu Shang also saw it, and even after a short time, he actually gained some weight, although he still looked skinny, but his complexion was undoubtedly much better than when he first came.
However, the work arranged by Liu Mazi is really not done by people, what is cleaning the toilet, cleaning the toilet, cleaning horse manure, etc., etc., so that Liu Shang, who adheres to the way of a sage, has to suffer this inhuman pain almost every time.
In this process, Liu Shang had several unsuccessful escape experiences, but they were all caught and beaten severely, and after several times in a row, Liu Shang had to be honest again.
But as the saying goes, "if you are poor, you will be able to reach it, and if you reach it, you will be smooth". Under the persecution of reality, Liu Shang's head began to shine for the first time.
After cleaning the toilet one night, I suddenly thought that it was not a way for me to go on like this, it seemed that at this moment, which of Liu Shang's tendons turned and had an epiphany! He actually thought of Mao Sui's self-recommendation mentioned in the ancient book, and he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way.
The so-called thought of doing it, Liu Shang hurriedly returned to his own hut with leaky air on all sides, and found the long shirt he was wearing when he came, although it was shabby, but he finally had a little elegance, and he called water to clean his face, and straightened his hair with water.
Liu Mazi was dreaming at this time, in which he became a big landlord, with thin skin and tender flesh one after another, and saliva left a piece on the pillow.
After Liu Shang came over and had a quarrel with the guards outside, it was Liu Mazi's sweet dream that woke him up, Liu Mazi was suddenly furious, where would he have a good face, and directly sent someone to pull the other party out and beat him up.
Liu Shang didn't expect that he would have such treatment, which was not the same as what was described in the book, and he originally wanted to be reserved, so he recommended himself, after this fat beating, his hair was more scattered, his clothes were more shabby, and in the ridicule of everyone, the only Zhuge style was also swept clean.
At this time, he already felt that the description in the book was different from the description at this time, where did he dare to put on any shelf?
After being dragged by others again, and then still on the inside of the house, the first thing Liu Shang did was to climb to Liu Mazi's side, hug the other party's thick legs, and wail loudly, saying that he could read and write, make suggestions, and keep accounts.
After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel that he was the reincarnation of the legendary Kong Ming, Zhuge was reborn, and his eyes became more and more confident, exuding a strong aura of self-confidence.
At these words, Liu Mazi only fart, he just wanted to kick again, he didn't know what he thought, he actually stopped his feet and said, "Oh? Can you settle accounts and be literate? ”
This sentence is what Liu Shang has been waiting for for a long time, although he didn't see Liu Mazi bow his head and say something like Mr. Talent, a little disappointed, but it's not bad to have this sentence, at least the other party has begun to pay attention to his talent...
Liu Shang nodded hurriedly, as if he was afraid that the other party would regret it.
"Alright, I'll give you a chance." Liu Mazi said, and then drove out all the subordinates around him, and told him about his arrangements for Liu Shang, and Liu Shang nodded and agreed.
So, to everyone's surprise, Liu Shang became a member of the bandits, and he was a member of the accounting department.
Originally, this account was under the control of Ermaozi, the other party swallowed a lot from it, and Liu Mazi was a person who couldn't settle accounts and read and write, so he had to pretend to understand and fool around, but this matter was long, and slowly left a pimple in Liu Mazi's heart, and he always felt unstable.
Liu Shang, who thought that his great responsibility was coming, worked very hard to do things, and listened to Liu Mazi's entrustment, not to mention, he really let him find out some clues, and after reaccounting the accounts, Liu Shang really found a large number of loopholes, and a large amount of property was missing.
After learning about this, Liu Shang was overjoyed, and quickly reported this matter to Liu Mazi, Liu Mazi was very angry after hearing it, and he was ruthless, and personally led someone to arrest Ermaozi who was still asleep, and beat him to death in the other party's wails and begging for mercy.
In fact, this time I blamed Ermaozi for being too careless, originally when Liu Shang went to check the accounts, his cronies told him to take precautions, but he looked down on Liu Shang who brushed the toilet for himself all day long, in his heart, he was confused by those accounts, and his minions could still do it well? So he didn't care about this matter, and did what he had to do, until this time Liu Shang indirectly sent him to hell.
Next, Liu Mazi set off a big purge in the thief's den, killing more than ten of Ermaozi's cronies, Liu Mazi completely grasped all the power, and no one dared to show the slightest dissatisfaction with him.
Then he threw out the matter of Ermaozi embezzling everyone's property, everyone has an idea, that is, not to suffer from widowhood but to suffer from unevenness, after everyone knows about this matter, they are angry, and they fully support Liu Mazi, and scold Ermaozi who has died.
And the hero of this matter got the treatment he deserved, and was officially promoted to military advisor and head of accounts.
Liu Shang got rid of the fate of brushing the toilet and began to enjoy the happiness of his toilet being brushed by others. Later, taking advantage of the white wolf bandits, he helped Liu Mazi get a large number of manpower again and became a local tyrant.
Of course, Liu Shang did not forget the previous shame, in order to repay his hatred of being humiliated, when Henan was in turmoil, he provoked Liu Mazi to attack his own county, cut off the head of the county official, and the villagers who once laughed at him were also brutally killed.
Since then, in this great era, there is no longer a somewhat pedantic and stupid Liu Shang, only a cruel and vicious poisonous military division remains!
Later, he took refuge with Liu Mazi and the white wolf, which can be regarded as a place in Henan, but the good times did not last long, after the arrival of the Beiyang army, everything was over, they had to break away from the white wolf, and fled with Liu Mazi in the direction of Bozhou, dreaming of continuing to return to the past and live a free life!
