Chapter 149: The Difficulty of the Beggars
It took a lot of effort to fight a bloody way out of the palace guards, Ke Zhenwei instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and when everyone climbed out of the wall, he immediately said loudly: "The situation is a little wrong, the palace guards didn't catch up, it seems that there must be something missing somewhere else, let's hurry up." ”
Ke Zhen followed his brother Ke to fight on the rivers and lakes when he was a young man, with rich experience and a decisive personality.
Zhu Cong's face suddenly became serious when he heard this, and he looked back at the palace, just as Ke Zhenwei said, no one took the opportunity to chase and kill him, which should be a good thing, but when things go unusually, there are demons, so they can't be cautious.
"Brother Yang, you carry Mrs. Yang and walk in the middle, and so does Miss Mu, let's hurry up later, otherwise when King Zhao reacts, it won't be so easy to get out. Jing'er, you and my Royal Highness. Zhu Cong glanced at Yang Tiexin, clenched his fists and said, this thing is not shallow, the princess was taken away by him, and it is almost inevitable that Wanyan Honglie will be furious, at this time Zhu Cong still doesn't know that the Wanyan Honglie who he is worried about is dead.
Yang Tiexin showed gratitude, time was urgent, he didn't have time to say anything, just nodded heavily, these six people are indeed chivalrous, otherwise leaving him behind is the smartest choice. They didn't know each other, and even if they ran for their lives alone, their fame would not be hindered.
A group of ten people quickly disappeared into the night, unaware that the fluctuations caused by the battle of the palace had just begun.
On the other side, Yang Kang ran wildly all the way, and he just ran and ran according to his instinct until he was exhausted. He couldn't run anymore, so he stopped.
The golden crown on his head has long been left behind by him. The cape was scattered, and he gasped for air. Bending over and coughing, it felt like my lungs were going to be coughed out.
After a long time, he straightened up again, and sat down on the ground, his eyes blank and his expression glazed. His father, who had raised him for eighteen years, turned out to be the enemy who caused him to break his family, and he really found it difficult to accept.
Yang Kang has always thought that he is quite open-minded and generous, but when this kind of thing really happened to him, he realized that he was actually an ordinary person, a mediocre person. It's also hard to let go. I couldn't put it down, and I cried bitterly.
Just when Yang Kang was sitting alone, Hong Qigong, who was carrying a big red gourd, appeared beside him. Yang Kang ran wildly all the way without knowing the direction of the wind, and the beggar gang leader was alarmed on the way, only to see him holding Yang Kang's golden crown in his hand, thoughtful.
"Young man, give this back to you." Hong Qigong suddenly spoke, startling Yang Kang a lot, and saw the golden crown in Hong Qigong's hand. The expression was slightly sluggish.
"Since you found it, let's exchange it for some silver, anyway, I won't need it in the future, hehe." Yang Kang took a clear look at the patches on Hong Qigong's clothes. said self-deprecatingly, he will no longer be the little prince of Zhao Wangfu in the future, this thing is indeed useless.
"Beggars don't pick up other people's things. What is yours will always be yours. Hong Qigong shook his head and reached out to hand over the golden crown.
Yang Kang looked at Hong Qigong's serious appearance. I was stunned for a moment, but I still took it. He couldn't help asking, "How can a beggar eat if he doesn't pick up other people's things?" Is it just by begging for some leftovers from others? It is better to accumulate some gold and silver, do some business, not to mention make a fortune, and still earn some money to make a living. He doesn't understand this kind of thinking.
"To be called Hanako is to be called Hanako, and if you do something else, is it still called Hanako?" Hong Qigong said with a serious expression, the beggar gang has its own set of rules, as long as some things are done, you can get wealth in a short time, but it may not be possible later. It's better to be honest and call Hanako without worrying about starvation.
"It's really strange, what's so good about being called Hanako, if you don't do it, you won't do it, do some business and make a fortune, marry a wife and have children, and spread out your branches, isn't it a good thing?" Yang Kang couldn't understand what to be proud of, the education he received since he was a child was that people should continue to work hard to move forward, master knowledge, power and scheming, educate Li Min, and so on. This is a typical Adou who can't afford it, no, it's even worse than Adou, and Adou will accept good advice.
"Where did Hanako come from so much thought, just beg for food honestly." Hong Qigong's voice turned a little cold.
"Well, you old beggar is quite interesting, for example, you are very old now, you must think about the aftermath. Make an assumption, if you take this golden crown and sell it to someone who knows the goods, there will always be a lot of silver taels, which will allow you to buy a few acres of land or open a shop. Then you can get a wife, marry a wife and have children, and you don't have to eat and sleep in the open again, and enjoy the joy of humanity, isn't it wonderful? "Yang Kang's old problem has been committed again, he is stubborn by nature, and he has always been very thoughtful in this regard, and if others disagree with some of his concepts, he will be very unconvinced.
Hong Qigong's brows couldn't help frowning, what a mess, if all the beggars had this kind of thought, the beggar gang would be finished, and the tricks passed down by the ancestors would be fed to the dogs.
"Everyone has their own ambitions, and Hanako is used to being a beggar and has no ambitions, as for what you say about life and death, if Hanako is really dead, just find a place to dig a pit and bury it, but there is no need for red tape."
"No, no, no, I still feel that what you said is wrong, what's wrong with Hanako? Can you also have an ideal in life? Is there anything wrong with finding a way to make your life better? Otherwise, it is not a wonderful thing to be a beggar forever, and the day is not precarious. For example, you, who are forty or fifty years old, will be old and weak in another ten years, and you will not be able to do anything, but you will have to eat the last meal without the next meal. Isn't it miserable to be sick and have no one to take care of you and no money to see a doctor? Yang Kang's stubborn temper came, he didn't care about the sadness, subconsciously diverted his attention, and pointed out the life of the old beggar in front of him.
Hong Qigong's brows furrowed even deeper, the beggar gang will have a clean clothes faction and a clean clothes faction, just as the person in front of him said, people will have different ideas, which led to the dispute between the two factions. The Dirty Clothes firmly believe that beggars are beggars, that they have been beggars for generations, and that they don't need that mess. However, the Pure Clothes Sect went one step further and tried to establish the Beggar Gang into a sect. And not just a rabble of beggars.
This contradiction has existed since the establishment of the beggar gang. It has continued to this day, in the hands of Hong Qigong. Again, there's no good way to fix it. In order to resolve the contradiction between the two factions, Hong Qigong is a year of dirty clothes and a year of clean clothes, his martial arts prestige is excellent, and he can suppress disputes, but it is impossible to say in the future.
"Oh, what if there are beggars who don't want to change their minds? What's the best way to do it? Hong Qigong had an idea, looked at the person in front of him, and said. This difficulty has plagued the leaders of the beggar gang for generations.
Yang Kang laughed, "What's so difficult about this? Since ancient times, people who can eat a full meal have no one who wants to be hungry, and those who can eat fine clothes and jade food will not want to eat white steamed buns. If someone doesn't seek to be motivated, but the life of the people around him is getting better, won't he be envious? Set the rules and distinguish rewards and punishments, this is to find a way for beggars to survive. For example, the beggars. There have always been many contradictions, and it is really stupid. The core point of the dirty clothes faction and the clean clothes faction is here, and the dirty clothes faction is conservative and obedient. In fact, the Pure Clothes Sect also split from here at its root, which proves this. However, there are few people in the clean clothes faction, and there are beggars who are not as good as the dirty clothes faction. There are many people, and there are people who are interested in guiding and using. The current situation has been formed. Just look at one point, and a few of those high-ranking people of the Dirty Clothes Sect are begging. Immediately realize the mystery of this. Most of the beggars are beggars who can't survive, they don't have any skills, and they can't earn a living, so they support this system in turn, so as to protect their interests. Anyway, they can't live a life of eating white steamed buns, so let's work together, fair and just, but it's ridiculous. ”
The beggar gang is the largest gang in the Central Plains, and Wanyan Honglie has told him about this strange sect in the past, saying that he is powerful, even if it is so, it is also true to say that he is like a plate of loose sand. The rise and fall of the beggar gang depends entirely on the gang leader, as long as there is no gang leader with high enough prestige and martial arts to suppress it, it will immediately be reduced to a second-rate and third-rate gang.
"Is there a solution?" Hong Qigong's heart was shocked, he had rarely thought about problems from this perspective before.
"It's difficult, it's difficult, the foundation of the beggar gang is in this thousands of flowers, this is the root that is destined to be inextricable, it is precisely these people who have become the backbone of the dirty clothes faction, and there is no room for the clean clothes faction to survive. Therefore, the leaders of the beggar gang in the past generations must have been born from the dirty clothes faction. If you want to solve this point, the most important thing is to raise the threshold of the beggars and teach them a skill, but when they have a good life, how can they still be in the beggars? This is the dead knot, the beggar gang has not lacked masters for generations, but they have been stuck here. "Don't talk about Yang Kang, even King Zhao also has no good way.
A look of disappointment flashed in the depths of Hong Qigong's cloudy eyes, he had thought of this, and then gave up, the beggar gang wanted to settle down, but they could only stick to the old ways. What he can do is to maintain the reputation of the beggar gang and seek a way to live for the world's flowers.
"Don't talk about that, what's wrong with you kid? I don't think you're a normal person? Hong Qigong changed the topic, this person is really smart enough, I hope it is not a Jurchen.
"It's nothing, it's just that I found that some things are different from what I thought, hehe, you don't understand, until today, I found out that I was Han." With a bitter smile, Yang Kang looked up into the distance and stood with his hands in his hands, he didn't discriminate so much in this regard, after all, his mother was a Han person. Since he was a child, he was scolded as a mongrel, but he suffered deeply, and he secretly set up his ambition to change this situation one day. What's wrong with the Han people, what's wrong with the Jurchens, it's not all human, anyway, he Yang Kang didn't see much difference.
"Hello Han people, what's so unhappy about you kid?" Hong Qigong couldn't help but feel relieved, if it was really a Jurchen, he might really have to think of a way.
"If you don't understand, I don't understand, everyone is human, so why should they be so clear? The Han people are like this, and the Jurchens are the same, hehe, is it interesting? If it were up to me to decide, I would definitely find a way to make them live together peacefully. Yang Kang is used to this, the Jurchens are pretentious, thinking that they are noble and are born nobles, but the Han people also hate the Jurchens, which is full of contradictions. The unstable foundation of the Jin Kingdom stems from this.
"Such a deep hatred, how can you change it with a sentence or two?" Hong Qigong laughed, this little guy is really interesting, it's just a little whimsical.
"No, I'll do this, I will." Yang Kang's expression suddenly became firm, and he figured out what he was going to do.
Hong Qigong didn't say anything to mock, that was not his character, but he didn't believe it at all, but he hated the Jurchens.
"I hope you can do it, I always told Hanako to leave, and it was a waste of time to chase you along the way." Hong Qigong yawned, turned around and left, he still had to find a place to continue sleeping.
Yang Kang saw the green jade staff in the old beggar's hand, and immediately struck a stir, and identified the dog beating stick, but the beggar gang can only use this, and he couldn't help but gasp. He was bragging about the beggars in front of Hong Qigong.
"Fortunately, I am not the little prince of Zhao Wangfu now, otherwise I am afraid that a big disaster is coming." Yang Kang muttered to himself, Sai Weng lost his horse, but he didn't know if it was a blessing, and the identity of this Han man really saved his life.
He had long heard of Hong Qigong's prestige, and he was jealous and hateful, and he hated the Jurchens even more.
On the other side, Zhao Qi got on the boat and immediately called the three girls over, this big pit viper is almost considered to be a complete merit, and it is a good time to have a full meal.
