020 Good intentions
After leaving the helmsman of the beggar gang, Zhao Ji and others found an inn in Luoyang City and stayed there. Liang Shicheng was still angry, according to his thoughts, since the attitude of the beggars was so bad, it was better to simply return to Bianliang City. As for the beggars' business in Bianliang City, don't ask anymore, let's see if they can last a few days in Bianliang City, where the dragon is hidden and the tiger is crouching. However, seeing that Zhao Ji's expression was still calm, it was difficult for him to speak his thoughts, so as not to upset the prince again.
Zhao Ji's mood was naturally not as calm as it seemed, he came to Luoyang with high spirits, but he was driven out by someone blocking the door, such a bad treatment, but anyone who was a little bloody was unbearable. Just like Quan Guanqing said, even if he didn't help the beggars, even if he was just an ordinary visitor, Ma Dayuan's attitude was very problematic. Zhao Ji naturally didn't have the self-cultivation of spitting on his face, and the reason why he didn't leave with his sleeves when his mood improved, it was because Zhao Ji thought of Ma Dayuan's miserable life, and his heart was suddenly comforted a lot, and of course a little unhappiness remained.
Therefore, if a person with a dark psychology is a little unhappy, he should think more about the misery of others, so that he can think about it himself without being comforted by others.
But then again, Ma Dayuan's attitude really made Zhao Ji feel a little inexplicable. Could it be that this person's eyesight is so clever that he can see that he has other plans to help the beggars? It shouldn't be, if this Ma Dayuan really has such good eyesight, he won't be a green hat with layer after layer and still don't know it, and finally die of ignorance. Besides, he is not afraid to tell Ma Dayuan Ming about this calculation, in the final analysis, he just wants to win over the beggars for his own use, and he has not touched on any principled issues of right and wrong. Moreover, the beggars themselves did not exclude doing things for the imperial court.
So, what is the reason why Ma Dayuan is so hostile to himself?
Thinking about this question, Zhao Ji was puzzled. It seems that if you want to completely win over the beggar gang, you still need to solve the obstacle trouble of Ma Dayuan. But it seems that even if he doesn't make a move, someone will do it for him soon, but that is not the result Zhao Ji wants. Ma Dayuan, Zhao Ji doesn't know much, but he shouldn't be a big traitor, he can even tolerate a villain like Quan Guanqing, and there is no reason to sit back and watch such a not bad person being killed by a conspiracy. And this person can only be optimistic about his wife when he is alive, so that Qiao Feng's life experience will be exposed.
As for this person's inexplicable dislike for himself, figure out the reason and talk slowly. Zhao Ji understands that if he wants to make friends with people in the rivers and lakes in his identity, it is not a help but an obstacle. Of course, there are not such things as Quan Guanqing.
After all these twists and turns, after settling down, the twilight has deepened, and after dinner, Zhao Ji bathed and washed away the dust. He was about to rest, when he heard from the guards that a guest had arrived.
After Liang Shicheng came back from going out for a while, his expression was a little strange, and he said to Zhao Ji: "Lord Wang, it was that Ma Dayuan who came to visit you." The more Xu thought about it later, the more he regretted that he shouldn't have done this, and rushed to apologize overnight. This kind of person, first condescending and then respectful, hey, it's really contemptible. If you don't want to see him, I'll kick them out at once. β
Zhao Ji was already lying on the bed at this time, and after hearing the words, he pondered for a while, and then instructed Liang Shicheng: "And let him wait a while, and I will arrive later." β
"Lord Wang, you are a daughter, why bother to compromise in front of these reckless men? If you make friends with a good man like Uncle Qiao, the little one has nothing to say. But like Ma Dayuan, who is so vulgar and rude, seeing that you have wronged yourself, my heart is really ...... uncomfortable" Liang Shicheng saw Zhao Ji get up and dress again, and couldn't help but whisper.
When Zhao Ji heard this, he just smiled and didn't say anything more. For the beggars, he is bound to win, and this is the only force he can hope to control at the moment. All the qiΔ he did was to prevent himself from going back to the old way, and not to let the Great Song Dynasty go back to the old way. It may be difficult to reverse the general trend of the world with these small forces on the rivers and lakes alone, but before the great change comes, the more power you can control, the better. He has no ambition to open peace for all generations, but since he can have a chance to keep the unprecedented prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty from turning into a cloud of smoke and being destroyed under the iron hooves of the alien race, what is a small grievance.
Going out is not as casual as at home, in order to ensure Zhao Ji's safety and quietness, Liang Shicheng chartered the entire inn. Therefore, in today's inn, only Zhao Ji and his group of guests seem to be a little quiet and lonely.
Ma Dayuan sat in the hall, sipping the tea soup in his hand, his face was a little contemplative, and he looked like he was groaning, as for the taste of this tea soup, he really couldn't feel it at all.
Outside the main entrance of the hall, two sturdy men looked at Ma Dayuan with an unkind expression, which made him more and more irritable in his heart. He has more or less remorse for his attitude and actions during the day, but he has to do what he has to do, and he is really conflicted in his heart. During this late night visit, he did not expect to be forgiven by the young nobleman of Bianliang City, but just hoped that others would not think that the beggar gang was a person who would take revenge because of his actions.
When Zhao Ji walked into the hall, Ma Dayuan's spirits couldn't help but perk, he had already planned to sit here for a night. After all, I can't accept my attitude even if I change it.
Before Zhao Ji could speak, Ma Dayuan had already gotten up, slammed himself to the ground, and said to Zhao Ji: "There are many offenses to the Yanai during the day, Ma Dayuan has come to apologize and ask for the guilt, and I dare not ask for the understanding of the Yanei, I just hope to have an opportunity to talk openly and honestly with the Yanei." β
Zhao Ji became more and more curious after hearing this, stretched out his hand to help Ma Dayuan, and said with a smile after sitting down twice: "Deputy Ma is serious, I am not invited, and it is really inappropriate to cause trouble to the master's family." The two are offset, and there is no need to say anything to forgive or not. I'll listen to what you're going to talk to me. β
Ma Dayuan saw that Zhao Ji's attitude was modest and calm, and he did not have the arrogant attitude of ordinary nobles, so he was slightly settled. However, it seemed a little difficult to speak, and after opening his mouth a few times, he muttered for a long time before he said: "I want to ask how Yanai got acquainted with our Qiao Gang Master? β
When Zhao Ji heard Ma Dayuan's question, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he probably guessed some thoughts in Ma Dayuan's heart. After thinking for a while, he described the process of getting acquainted with Qiao Feng in detail, and said: "I just helped to get your boss out of Kaifeng Mansion with a gesture, but Brother Qiao worked tirelessly to dredge my pulse for me, and had the great favor of extending my life." Every time I think about it, I am deeply moved. A good man like Brother Qiao, who values kindness and righteousness, is afraid that no one in the world will not be happy to befriend him. β
After Ma Dayuan listened carefully, Yan SΓΉ's expression loosened a little, and when he heard Zhao Ji's evaluation of Qiao Feng, a smile also appeared on his face: "Yes, it is precisely because of the generosity and righteousness of the Qiao Gang Leader and the gratitude of the Gang Leader that our late Wang Gang Leader is willing to entrust the Beggar Gang to him." In the past six or seven years as the gang leader, the more prosperous the beggar gang has become, and the more famous the rivers and lakes have become. β
Zhao Ji also admired Qiao Feng very much when he heard Ma Dayuan's words, it seemed that this old man was not a stubborn and stubborn person, so he said again: "I don't know something, and I hope that Deputy Gang Leader Ma can solve my doubts." The opening of a church by the beggar gang in Bianliang City should be beneficial and harmless, and it has been fruitful in a short period of time. I know that your beggar gang has a large number of poor disciples who want to receive help, and they are in need of a turnover of goods, and I am willing to help the beggars with this favor, but why do you oppose it, Deputy Gang Leader?"
After hearing these words, Ma Dayuan's expression, which was already a little loose, sank again, and his expression was extremely complicated. After a while, he looked at Zhao Ji and said, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, you shouldn't be an ordinary noble in Bianliang City, right? In the past, our beggar gang also tried to open a hall in Bianliang City, but it was really difficult to dredge up all aspects of the involvement, and even the old breed of the Western Army had also tried, but it was still difficult to maintain......
"And your noble family, if I don't look badly, it should be one, uh......" After a pause, Ma Dayuan said again: "Although the Qiao Gang Master and the Fang Helmsman did not reveal your identity in the Yanei, but with all kinds of signs, Ma can probably guess that you should be a clan relative in the Yanai, right?"
Zhao Ji was not surprised that Ma Dayuan could guess his identity, and just nodded after hearing this: "It's just a rich idler." β
After Ma Dayuan sighed, he seemed to have made a great decision, and said to Zhao Ji: "Yanai has a lot of goodwill to help the beggar gang, and my beggar gang has a great sense of guilt, if there is a chance, I will repay it." It's just that this Bianliang Hall is really unsustainable. The reason for this is difficult for me to explain clearly to the Ya Nei. It's just that he has lived up to the hard work of the Ya, if the Ya has resentment in his heart, it is all Ma Mou's, but there is a punishment, and he is willing to bear it. β
Zhao Ji carefully observed the changes in Ma Dayuan's expression, and now he seemed to have a last resort. Thinking along this line, what Ma Dayuan thought gradually became clearer. This old man should be worried that the beggar gang is too deeply entangled with his clan relative, and once Qiao Feng's life experience is exposed, it may cause a big disaster to the beggar gang. In this way, I would rather not have the financial resources of Bianliang City than the beggars to take such a risk. Thinking about it this way, this Ma Dayuan opposed the opening of a hall in Bianliang City, and he was also wholeheartedly considered for the beggars, and he could resolutely decide to withdraw when it had already worked. With such caution, it was no wonder that the Wang Gang Master handed over the responsibility of taking care of Qiao Feng to him.
Zhao Ji's guess about Ma Dayuan's mind is actually a little shallow, and Ma Dayuan opposes the opening of a hall in Bianliang, firstly, for the sake of the safety of the beggars. If Qiao Feng's life story is only spread in the rivers and lakes, it is just a loss to the reputation of the beggar gang. But if the official characters know that the leader of the beggar gang is actually a Khitan, it will be a disaster for the beggar gang.
As for the second, it is for Zhao Ji's consideration, although Qiao Feng has been doing his best since he became the helper, but the people have always been rumored to be a tiger and wolf of the Khitan people, and no one dares to guarantee that he will suddenly be crazy, so Ma Dayuan has never dared to relax his scrutiny of Qiao Feng. If this clan member has frequent contacts with Qiao Feng, he will be killed.
Third, Ma Dayuan himself can't tell whether it's right or wrong. He can be said to have watched Qiao Feng grow up, even if he knew that the other party was a Khitan who had a feud with the Han people, he always had some affection in his heart. Even if one day Qiao Feng's life experience is difficult to hide, he hopes that Qiao Feng can leave the Great Song Dynasty and continue to live. But if a clan nobleman knows Qiao Feng's identity, if he insists on pursuing it, the matter can no longer stop at the rivers and lakes, then Qiao Feng's future will undoubtedly add a lot of danger.
With so many considerations, even though he knew that this time the beggar gang entered Bianliang City was a rare good opportunity in a hundred years, Ma Dayuan still decided to give up. Even if he had to bear the misunderstanding from the top to the bottom of the gang, he decided to go his own way and never agree to this hidden thing!
