Wu Yong went to find Du Qian and Song Wan all night.
Liangshan Island is very large, and it is not in the same village. Wu Yong is a scholar, and his journey is not fast. It was not until the next morning that he arrived at Du Qian's place.
Du Qian saw Wu Yong and recognized him as a scholar brought by Chao Gai. He immediately invited Wu Yong in and said, "Wu Yong, what am I doing here?"
Wu Yongdao: "To be honest, I am here to commemorate the memory of Chief Wang."
Du Qian said: "Leader Wang? Which one?"
Wu Yong was speechless and said: "Chief Wang Lun? Has Chief Du forgotten him?"
Du Qian frowned and said: "Why do you remember him? Wang Lun was not a good person. Fortunately, he died early, otherwise I might have killed him too."
Wu Yong felt sweat on his forehead. When he saw that "Wang Lun's" trick was not working, he immediately said: "Head Du, you used to be the second leader, but now you are just the head of the township. Don't you feel aggrieved?
"
Du Qian was stunned and said: "I used to be a bandit. He led a group of people to rob houses and fight with his head. Now he manages tens of thousands of people. If he is put outside, he will be an official. How can he compare?"
Well……
Wu Yong was stunned and said: "But has your status declined after all? In the past, you were under one person and above everyone in Liangshanbo, but now there are too many people with higher status than you. Wu Dong, Lin Chong, Hua Rong, Yang Zhi,
Zhu Gui and others are above you."
Du Qian said: "If I asked you to be a big bug or a little tiger, which one would you rather do?"
The two talked for a few more words, but Wu Yong found that he couldn't convince Du Qian at all, so he left immediately. Du Qian was a rough man, and Wu Yong said a lot, but he still didn't understand what Wu Yong meant. However,
He didn't take it to heart. It was tax collection time in the countryside these days. It was a good opportunity for him to show off his authority. He immediately took several officials to the countryside to collect taxes, not to mention this.
But Wu Yong went to where Song Wan was and arrived at Song Wan's house at noon.
Song Wan's home is now well built, with all bricks and tiles, and even the ground is paved with blue bricks. In this era, brick and tile houses are not something ordinary people can live in. Most people live in mud houses.
All those who live in brick and tile houses are wealthy and wealthy.
Song Wan has a lot of money now, so of course he must enjoy it and make the place where he lives perfect first.
Wu Yang came to Song Wan's house, met Song Wan, and told what he said to Du Qian.
Song Wan is a tall man, known as "Yunli King Kong". His appearance may seem rough, but his mind is very delicate.
He immediately understood what Wu Yong meant. Wu Yong actually instigated him to rebel. At that moment, he pretended: "It is indeed not as good as before. In the past, there were thousands of minions under his command, robbing homes and houses every day, and the whole Liangshan listened.
Mine, now only this small area listens to me."
Wu Yong didn't know it was a trick, but he was overjoyed and said: "I really want to cry out for the injustice of Township Chief Song. This Wu Dong is really unfair."
Song Wandao: "What's the point of complaining? I'll just be my township head."
Wu Yongdao: "The township chief still has many old subordinates in the army. These people can be used. It's better... it's better..."
Song Wandao: "Why don't we do the opposite?"
Wu Yongdao: "That's right! We are so aggrieved here that we rebelled against him and became the big leaders ourselves!"
Song Wan shook his head and said: "It's a pity that those old troops don't listen to me now. My strength is too small and I can't resist Wu Dong at all."
Wu Yongdao: "Don't be afraid of this. Now King Chao Tianwang and others have gone to Liangshan. We are all very powerful...Liu Tang and the Ruan brothers are also in the army now and already have some connections. As long as we join hands
Come on, it won't be difficult to rebel against Wu Dong."
Song Wan laughed and said: "Okay, okay!"
Wu Yong was overjoyed and said: "Does the township chief agree with my statement?"
At this time, Song Wan suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Wu Yong in his hand, like an eagle catching a chicken. Wu Yong was shocked and said, "What are you doing, mayor?"
Song Wan shouted angrily: "What are you doing? Of course I'm going to catch you, the rebel! The big leader kindly asked you to go up the mountain, gave you a way to survive, and made you the mayor and deputy mayor. Now you actually want to rebel?
Chief, what an ungrateful thing!"
Wu Yong was extremely anxious at this moment and said: "The township chief put me down first, we can still talk slowly, slowly!"
Song Wan scolded: "What the hell are you talking about? Do you know what kind of life I lived before? Liangshanbo used to be a mud puddle. I hid in this place and was afraid day and night. I was worried about encirclement and suppression, and even risked my life to go down the mountain to rob."
, I have only saved a few hundred taels of silver in a few years... Now the big leader has come to the mountain. In just a short time, I have 100,000 taels of silver. I have become the head of the township. When I go to the village, everyone respects me. Isn’t it better than my previous life?
A hundred times better? You actually dared to instigate grandpa to rebel. Grandpa captured you first and gave you to the big leader."
Wu Yong's face turned pale now. He never thought that Song Wan had been subdued by Wu Dong a long time ago. Now he was loyal to Wu Dong and kept shouting "spare his life".
Song Wandao: "Follow me to see the big boss and see how the big boss will deal with you."
******
Chao Gai didn't see Wu Yong all morning, and he felt more and more something was wrong.
Although he was not as smart as Wu Yong and did not know how to plot dirty tricks secretly, he did have some great wisdom and immediately realized that Wu Yong might really be instigating rebellion. In Chao Gai's view, the current Liangshan Bo was from above.
At present, the main leaders are all from Wu Dong, and now the people and soldiers of Liangshanbo also sincerely support Wu Dong, and there is no future for rebellion at all.
Chao Gai frowned, thought for a moment, and got up to find Wu Dong.
Wu Dong was sitting at the table, calculating this year's tax situation and next year's military expansion.
At this time, Chao Gai came, and Wu Dong immediately invited him in and said: "Head Chao, what can I do for you? Can you adapt to the environment in Liangshan these days?"
Chao Gai said: "Liangshan is very different from the outside. There are no corrupt officials. I am very lucky to be here. Chief, I have something important to say."
Wu Dong said: "What happened?"
Chao Gai hesitated for a moment and said: "I'm really ashamed... We were taken in by the big leader. We should be grateful, but... But Wu Yong... is very restless..."
Chao Gai really didn't know what to say, but Wu Dong already understood what he meant and nodded.
He remembered what was recorded in the Water Margin. Chao Gai and Lin Chong immediately rebelled as soon as Wu Yong went to Liangshan. It should be Wu Yong who was using underhanded tactics. Now that Liangshan belongs to Wu Dong, Wu Yong is still using underhanded tricks.
Chao Gai seems to be kind at heart, or rather smart.
Wu Dong was about to speak when Song Wan grabbed Wu Yong and walked into Wu Dong's room.
Song Wan held Wu Yong on the ground and said: "Big boss, this man actually instigated me to rebel!"
After Song Wan finished speaking, a smile appeared on Wu Dong's face, while Chao Gai's expression changed drastically and said: "Big leader, please spare his life."
Wu Dong said: "Song Wan, first tell me how he instigated you."
At that moment, Song Wan naturally told everything, and after he finished speaking, he said bitterly: "This damn thing, the big leader treats him so well, and he still wants to rebel. He is really impatient. Why don't we kill him now?"
!”
Wu Yong's face was as white as paper and he kept shouting: "Big boss, please spare your life."
Chao Gai also hurriedly begged for mercy again, saying: "Big leader, please spare him? Just drive him out of Liangshanbo."
Song Wan was furious and said: "How is this possible? This person rebels and must die."
Wu Dong said: "Don't say any more...Wu Yong, of course he will die for rebelling, but for the sake of Mayor Chao's plea, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime will be unforgivable... Let Wu Yong go to open fields.
"
The so-called opening of fields is to open fields on the island. The prisoners in Qingfeng Village were opening fields before, which is called "reform through labor". The period of reform through labor is three years, and they work from morning to night every day, but they have enough food.
And these people must not be mistreated. Even if some of these people are lazy, they will only be detained in solitary confinement.
Wu Dong treated these prisoners in Qingfeng Village like this, and the island was full of praise, praising Wu Dalang's benevolence and righteousness. Even Hua Rong was secretly grateful. Because in this era, prisoners who were caught were usually killed. Even if they were not killed, they would be killed.
You have to have words tattooed on your face and then serve a lifetime of hard labor. Most people will be beaten to death, exhausted or starved to death after working for a few years. How can there be such easy labor as Liangshanbo, and it only takes three years to regain freedom, except for "
It is difficult to use other words other than "benevolence and justice" to describe what Wu Dong did.
When he heard that Wu Dong only arranged for Wu Yong to open fields, Chao Gai was overjoyed and immediately knelt down and said: "The leader is benevolent and righteous, Chao Gai is grateful."
Chao Gai had a good mind and was indeed a bit loyal. Wu Yong went up the mountain with him. Although he didn't like what Wu Yong had done these days, he still tried his best to plead for Wu Yong.
Wu Yong was relieved at the moment, but then he became worried because Wu Dong did not say how many years he would be forced to do labor camps. Wouldn't it be terrible if he had to do labor camps for a lifetime? Thinking of this, his heart sank again.
Song Wanze said: "Big Chief, isn't it too easy to deal with him like this?"
Wu Dong said: "No one can make mistakes, and for the sake of Mayor Chao's face, it is not impossible to give him a chance to change his ways. Song Wan, you did a good job this time, I will give you a big credit! As long as
If you continue to perform well, you might be able to get a promotion in the future."
The so-called next step up is from the township mayor to the town mayor. Song Wan couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "Don't worry, chief, I will definitely be loyal and serve you well in the future."
Wu Dong waved his hand and asked him to leave. He looked at Wu Yong, thought for a while, and said: "Wu Yong, you should also behave well... If you behave well, I will let you out in advance. If you behave badly,
Just cultivate a field for the rest of your life."
Wu Dong knew that although Wu Yong was a bit of a villain, he was indeed a bit smart and could often come up with some dirty tricks. This person could use them, but he had to polish them first.
